derive a large portion of our revenues from a few major customers. For the six months ended September 30, 2024, one customer accounted for approximately 18% of the Company's total revenues. For the six months ended September 30, 2023, three customers accounted for approximately 17%, 11% and 10% of the Company's total revenues, respectively. For the year ended March 31, 2024, two customers accounted for approximately 35% and 23% of the Company's total revenues, respectively. For the year ended on March 31, 2023, two major customers accounted for approximately 23% and 15% of the Company's total revenue, respectively. There are inherent risks whenever a large percentage of the total revenue is concentrated with one customer. It is not possible for us to predict the future level of demand for our services that will be generated by such customer or the future demand for our services by such customer. If such customer experience declining or delayed demands due to market, economic or competitive conditions, we could be pressured to reduce our prices or they could decrease the purchase quantity of our services, which could have an adverse effect on our margins and financial position, and could negatively affect our revenues and results of operations. If our largest customer terminates the purchase of our services, such termination would materially negatively affect our revenues, results of operations and financial condition.

generated our revenue primarily from providing (i) transportation services and (ii) warehouse storage services to our customers. Total revenues for the six months ended September 30, 2024 increased by $1,100,106, or 5.5%, to $21,272,130 from $20,172,024 for the six months ended September 30, 2023. This increase was primarily contributed by the growth in both transportation services and warehouse subleasing services business.
For the Six Months Ended September
transportation services
warehouse subleasing services
transportation services are composed of project logistic (including cross border logistic) and general logistic. Project logistic aims to ship oversized cargo, and the entire transport process is more complicated with more uncertainties when compared to general logistic.
revenues from transportation services increased by $467,957 or 2.5% from $18,538,625 for the six months ended September 30, 2023 to $19,006,582 for the six months ended September 30, 2024, which was contributed by the increase in the number of orders we completed for general logistic as a result of our business growth. For the six months ended September 30, 2024, we completed 16,295 orders for general logistics, comparing to 15,273 orders for the same period of 2023. As a result, revenues from general logistic increased by approximately $1.3 million from $6.7 million for the six months ended September 30, 2023 to $8.0 million for the six months ended September 30, 2024. However, this was partially offset by approximately $0.8 million decreases in revenues from project logistic. Because of changes in customers' demands, few orders for project logistic took a longer time to complete during the six months ended September 30, 2024.
revenues from warehouse subleasing services increased by $632,149 or 38.7% from $1,633,399 for the six months ended September 30, 2023 to $2,265,548 for the six months ended September 30, 2024. For the six months ended September 30, 2024, as our general logistic orders increased, we received more demands to provide these customers with supporting warehouse services.
cost of revenues for transportation services mainly consisted of outsourced shipping services, fuel, salaries paid to drivers, depreciation, fleet maintenance, tolls and customs fees. Cost of revenues for warehouse storage services mainly consisted of lease expenses of warehouse buildings, utilities, maintenance, fuel and warehouse handling fees. The following table sets forth the breakdown of our cost of revenues by category for the six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

of revenues increased by $304,451 or 1.7% from $17,941,349 for the six months ended September 30, 2023 to $18,245,800 for the six months ended September 30, 2024. Overall, the change is in line with increase of revenues.
cost of transportation services slightly decreased by $281,041 or 1.7% from $16,514,720 for the six months ended September 30, 2023 to $16,233,679 for the six months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily attributable to the depreciation of RMB against U.S. dollar. The average exchange rates for the six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were RMB1 to $0.1388 and RMB1 to $0.1403, respectively, representing a decrease of 1.1%.
cost of warehouse storage services increased by $585,492 or 41.0% from $1,426,629 for the six months ended September 30, 2023 to $2,012,121 for the six months ended September 30, 2024, which was mainly due to the increase in warehouse handling fees.

gross profit increased by $795,655 from $2,230,675 for the six months ended September 30, 2023 to $3,026,330 for the six months ended September 30, 2024. Our gross margin increased by 3.1 percentage points from 11.1% for the six months ended September 30, 2023 to 14.2% for the six months ended September 30, 2024.
profit for transportation services was $2,772,903 for the six months ended September 30, 2024, which increased by $748,998 as compared to the six months ended September 30, 2023, which was mainly driven by the increase in revenues. Gross margin was 14.6% for the six months ended September 30, 2024, which increased by 3.7 percentage points as compared to the six months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in gross margin was mainly attributable to our effective cost control. In 2024, we optimized our procedures for price inquires and comparison, which enabled us to match suitable subcontractors for each order based on its characteristics, thus we achieved a lower average cost per order for our transportation services.
profit for warehouse storage services was $253,427 for the six months ended September 30, 2024, which increased by $46,657 as compared to the six months ended September 30, 2023, which was mainly driven by the increase in revenues. However, our gross margin decreased by 1.5 percentage points from 12.7% for the six months ended September 30, 2023 to 11.2% for the six months ended September 30, 2024, which decrease was mainly because some of our customers have signed both transportation service and warehouse sublease service contracts with us at the same time, we offered them a favorable price for warehouse subleasing services.
following table sets forth the breakdown of our operating expenses for the six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023:

As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses accounted for 8.4% and 6.7% of revenues for the six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase in our general and administrative expenses was primarily increased by approximately $403,000 increase in professional service fees paid for the intended initial public offering, such as audit fee and consulting fee.
expenses increased significantly by $40,463 or 165.6% from $24,438 for the six months ended September 30, 2023 to $64,901 for the six months ended September 30, 2024.

income tax expenses were $419,601 and $139,577 for the six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

the Enterprise Income Tax ("EIT") Law of the PRC, domestic enterprises and Foreign Investment Enterprises ("FIE") are usually subject to a unified 25% income tax rate while preferential tax rates, tax holidays and certain tax exemptions may be granted on case-by-case basis.
to the Circular on the Implementation of the Positive Policy on Inclusive Tax Relief for Small and Micro Enterprises ( Cai Shui (2019) No. 13), as enacted by Ministry of Finance and State Taxation Administration of the PRC, an enterprise is recognized as a small-scale and low-profit enterprise if all of the followings are met (i) its taxable income does not exceed RMB3 million; (ii) total number of its employees does not exceed 300; and (iii) amount of its total assets does not exceed RMB50 million. A small-scale and low-profit enterprise receives a tax preference including a preferential tax rate of 5% on its taxable income below RMB1 million and another preferential tax rate of 10% on its taxable income between RMB1 million and RMB3 million. This policy was originally effective since January 1, 2019 until December 31, 2021. Subsequently, Ministry of Finance and State Taxation Administration of the PRC have made supplements to this policy on March 14, 2022, March 26, 2023 and August 6, 2023, respectively, which have stated that since January 1, 2022, if an entity is identified as a small-scale and low-profit enterprise based on the above rules, it is entitled to a preferential tax rate of 5% on its taxable income, and such tax relief has been extended to December 31, 2027 at the same time. As a result, for the six months ended September 30, 2023, Wuxi TC-Link, Yancheng TC-Link, Yunnan Dongyuan and Chongqing Dayuan are qualified for small and low-profit enterprises with an income tax rate of 5%; and for the six months ended September 30, 2024, Wuxi TC-Link, Yunnan Dongyuan and Chongqing Dayuan are qualified for small and low-profit enterprises with an income tax rate of 5%.
effective income tax rate was 43.7% and 21.2% for the six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

a result of the foregoing, we reported a net income of $540,122 and $520,102 for the six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The revisions were resulted in recognition of contract assets and reclassification of accounts receivable as of March 31, 2023 and no adjustments on the net income for the year ended March 31,2023 due to rolling effects.
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The measurement of expected credit losses under the CECL methodology is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized costs, including loans and trade receivables.
ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company, as an Emerging Growth Company ("EGC"), for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company adopted the standard on April 1, 2023 using the modified retrospective method for all financial assets in scope. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated statements of income, or consolidated statements of cash flows.

preparing the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting year. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, the allowance for expected credit losses, impairment of long-lived assets, interest rate of lease and provision for income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Deferred offering costs consist of underwriting, legal and other expenses incurred through the balance sheet date that are directly related to the intended initial public offering ("IPO"). Deferred offering costs will be charged to shareholders' equity upon the completion of the IPO. Should the IPO prove to be unsuccessful, these deferred costs, as well as additional expenses to be incurred, will be charged to statements of income.

assets are evaluated for impairment periodically whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their related carrying amounts may not be recoverable in accordance with FASB ASC 360, "Property, Plant and Equipment". In evaluating long-lived assets for recoverability, the Company uses its best estimate of future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and eventual disposition in accordance with FASB ASC 360-10-15. To the extent that estimated future undiscounted cash inflows attributable to the asset, less estimated future undiscounted cash outflows, are less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the difference between the carrying value of such an asset and its fair value. Assets to be disposed of and for which there is a committed plan of disposal, whether through sale or abandonment, are reported at the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to sell. There were no impairments of these assets as of September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024. and 2023.

Company evaluates the impairment of its right-of-use assets consistent with the approach applied for its other long-lived assets. The Company reviews the recoverability of its long-lived assets when events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. The assessment of possible impairment is based on its ability to recover the carrying value of the asset from the expected undiscounted future pre-tax cash flows of the related operations. The Company has elected to include the carrying amount of operating lease liabilities in any tested asset group and include the associated lease payments in the undiscounted future pre-tax cash flows. For the years six months ended March 31, September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not have any impairment loss against its operating lease right of use assets.

Company's subsidiaries in the PRC and Hong Kong are subject to the income taxes of the PRC and Hong Kong, respectively. No taxable income was generated outside the PRC for the years six months ended March 31, 2023 September 30, 2024 and 2022. 2023. The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, "Income Taxes". ASC 740 requires an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes and allows recognition and measurement of deferred tax assets based upon the likelihood of realization of tax benefits in future. Under the asset and liability approach, deferred taxes are provided for the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that they will either expire before the Company is able to realize the benefits, or future deductibility is uncertain.
740-10-25 prescribes a more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken (or expected to be taken) in a tax return. It also provides guidance on the recognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, years open for tax examination, accounting for income taxes in interim periods and income tax disclosures. There were no material uncertain tax positions as of September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024. and 2023.

in late 2019, there was an outbreak of COVID-19 (coronavirus) which has spread quickly to many parts in China, the U.S. and globally.
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 as a pandemic. With an aim to contain the COVID-19 outbreak, the Chinese government imposed various strict measures across the country including, but not limited to, travel restrictions, mandatory quarantine requirements, and postponed resumption of business operations after the Chinese New Year holiday in 2020. Starting from March 2020, businesses in China began to reopen, and the interruptions to businesses were gradually removed.
since January 2022, there have been outbreaks of Omicron variant in major cities in China, and local governments have imposed new quarantine requirements such as travel restrictions and temporary closure of office buildings and facilities. Consequently, the Company's operations in China were severely impacted by such measures. Especially in April 2022, several on-going transportation projects had been suspended due to nationwide travel restrictions. As a result, the Company's revenues for the year ended March 31, 2023 had decreased by approximately $2.3 million or 8.8% when compared to the year ended March 31, 2022. In December 2022, the Chinese government has loosened its policy and no longer imposes lockdown measures, and the Company's operations in China were back to normal. As a result, the Company's revenues for the year ended March 31, 2024 have increased by 67.4% or $16.3 million when compared to the year ended March 31, 2023. The Company will continue to closely monitor the situation going forward.
of the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 outbreak, the business disruption and the financial impact related to the outbreak of and response to the coronavirus cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.
While ASC 850 does not provide accounting or measurement guidance for such transactions, it nonetheless requires their disclosure. See Note 9 to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for further details.
income consists of two components, net income and other comprehensive income (loss). We present comprehensive income in accordance with ASC Topic 220, Comprehensive Income. ASC Topic 220 states that all items that are required to be recognized under accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be reported in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements. The components of comprehensive income were the net income for the years presented and the foreign currency translation adjustments.
Company computes earnings per share in accordance with ASC 260, "Earnings per Share". ASC 260 requires companies to present basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is measured as net income divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS presents the dilutive effect on a per share basis of potential ordinary shares (e.g., convertible securities, options and warrants) as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later. Potential ordinary shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS. For the years six months ended March 31, September 30, 2024 and 2023, the dilutive effect of the Company's Preferred Shares issued and outstanding which are convertible to ordinary shares for each Preferred Share was taken into consideration in calculation of diluted EPS.
accordance with ASC 230, "Statement of Cash Flows", cash flows from the Company's operations are formulated based upon the local currencies, and then translated at average exchange rates for the periods. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statements of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheets.
the six months ended September 30, 2024, one customer accounted for approximately 18% of the Company's total revenues. For the six months ended September 30, 2023, three customers accounted for approximately 17%, 11% and 10% of the Company's total revenues, respectively.
the six months ended September 30, 2024, two suppliers accounted for approximately 25% and 20% of the Company's total purchases, respectively. For the six months ended September 30, 2023, five suppliers accounted for approximately 20%, 14%, 14%, 12% and 11% of the Company's total purchases, respectively.
of September 30, 2024, two customers accounted for approximately 12% and 10% of the Company's total accounts receivable balance, respectively. As of March 31, 2024, two customers accounted for approximately 37% and 15% of the Company's total accounts receivable balance, respectively.
of September 30, 2024, three suppliers accounted for approximately 34%, 13% and 10% of the Company's accounts payable balance, respectively. As of March 31, 2024, three suppliers accounted for approximately 19%, 17% and 14% of the Company's accounts payable balance, respectively.

Company's cash deposits are maintained with high credit quality institutions, the composition and maturities of which are regularly monitored by management. In the PRC, an individual entity's deposit maintained at a bank is insured for a maximum of RMB500,000 (equivalent to approximately $70,000) in the event of bank failure. In Hong Kong, an individual entity's deposit maintained at a bank is insured for a maximum of HKD500,000 (equivalent to approximately $64,000) in the event of bank failure. In British Virgin Islands and Cayman Islands, entity's deposit is not insured by Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") insurance or other insurance. As of March 31, September 30, 2024, cash balance of $1,483,672 $156,446 was maintained at financial institutions in the PRC, of which approximately $437,443 the entire balance was insured; and cash balance of $680,708 $27,047 was maintained at financial institutions in Hong Kong, of which approximately $64,000 the entire balance was insured.
accounts receivable and other current assets, the Company maintains allowances for expected credit losses as contra accounts, as mentioned above. For notes receivable and advances to suppliers, the Company has provided no allowance as of September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024 and 2023 because the account balances were usually collected (realized) within 6 months, and therefore management considered the provision for impairment would be immaterial, if any.
of September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, and 2023, the Company had no significant exposure on interest rate risk.
the Company's reporting currency is US$, substantially all of the Company's revenues and cost of revenues and expenses are denominated in RMB. Substantially all of our assets and liabilities are denominated in RMB. As a result, the Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk as its revenues and results of operations may be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate between US$ and RMB. If RMB depreciates against US$, the value of the Company's RMB revenues, net income and assets as expressed in its US$ financial statements will decline. Assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates at the balance sheet dates while revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates and equity is translated at historical exchange rates. Any resulting translation adjustments are not included in determining net income but are included in determining other comprehensive income (loss), a component of equity. As of March 31, September 30, 2024, the Company's accumulated other comprehensive loss was $617,898. $355,235. The Company has not entered into any hedging transactions in an effort to reduce its exposure to foreign exchange risk.
risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Company's policy is to ensure that it has sufficient cash to meet its liabilities when they become due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company's reputation. As of March 31, September 30, 2024, the Company was not subject to significant liquidity risk.
