Management Commentary

"The accelerating growth in our record revenue and earnings is a great way to mark our first reported results as a public company and creates a solid foundation for us to build upon," Said Richard Hu, BON's Chairman & CEO, "Our well-known brand combined with our quality product offering provide a great value proposition to our customers and has positioned us to gain additional market share during this time of increased demand. I am encouraged by the pace of our new business wins this year as well as the robust growth of our sales pipeline. We will continue to optimize our sales strategy to shift to larger enterprise clients and to lower our manufacturing cost to support sustainable long-term profitability. I want to recognize our hardworking team for their tireless efforts and thank our loyal customers for their trust in us.

Fragrance Compounds

  • Revenue from sales of fragrance compound products increased by 133.0% to US$6.0 million from US$2.6 million for the same period in 2020. The increase was primarily attributable to the increase in sales volume and average selling price.
  • Gross profit from fragrance compound increased by 226.9% from US$358.3 thousand to US$1.2 million for the same period in 2020. The increase was attributable to the increase in sales volume, increase in average order size, and average selling price.

Health Supplements (Powder Drinks)

  • Revenue from sales of health supplement (powder drinks) products increased by 338.4% to US$4.7 million from US$1.1 million for the same period in 2020. The increase was attributable to the increase in sales volume.
  • Gross profit from health supplement (powder drinks) increased by 306.0% from US$452.3 thousand to US$1.8 million for the same period in 2020. The increase was primarily due to the increase in sales volume, which is a result of the increased number of customers, partially offset by the increase in average unit cost.

Bioactive Food Ingredients

  • Revenue from sales of bioactive food ingredient products decreased by 69.7% to US$1.1 million from US$3.5 million for the same period in 2020. The decrease was mainly attributable to a decrease in sales volume and average selling price as we received less customer orders of stachyose, our major bioactive food ingredient product, when COVID-19 spread had been subdued in China during six months ended March 31, 2021.
  • Gross profit of our bioactive food ingredient products decreased by 79.0% to $365.9 thousand from $1.7 million for the same period in 2020. This decrease was primarily due to the decrease in sales volume and average selling price for the above referenced reason.

General and administrative expenses decreased by $132,164, or approximately 16.3%, from $811,799 in the six months ended March 31, 2020, to $679,635 in the same period of 2021, mainly attributable to a $197,327 decrease in professional consulting service fees during the six months ended March 31, 2021, as the Company incurred higher consulting service fees and higher audit fees in connection with our IPO in the six months ended March 31, 2020.

Government subsidies received in the form of a grant and recognized as other operating income totaled $446,910 and $332,418 in the six months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Net income increased from $1.6 million in the six months ended March 31, 2020 to $2.3 million in the same period of 2021.

Net cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended March 31, 2021 was $2.0 million compared to $0.5 million in the same period of 2020.

Diluted earnings per share ("EPS") was $0.40, compared to $0.30 for the same period in 2020.
