“This year, as we continue to build additional stores, we plan to explore retail acquisitions to further accelerate growth, increase buying power, and expand market share. With our technology subsidiary, we plan to launch more on-demand experiences - DoPay, DoTours, DoMart, DoFood, DoSend, DoShop - all within our DoGetGo app in our current market. We also look forward to establishing more synergistic partnerships in other non-homogenous global emerging markets.”

“We are still early in our growth trajectory and feel more confident than ever about the opportunity ahead. As we add additional revenue expected from our technology subsidiary and possible new retail acquisitions, our growth trajectory will accelerate even further, bringing us closer to the realization of our mission, while driving long-term value for our shareholders. For 2023 we will also commit to a much more frequent program of news updates for investors. Over the past year we have laid the groundwork for building a higher growth rate company. Now that momentum is picking up we want to make sure to keep everyone well informed on all of our progress as it develops,” Mr. Vanterpool added." 

Fiscal 2022 Results for Year Ended August 31 (Audited)

Revenues and Cost of Revenue

Total company revenues were $37.2 million, up 28.7% from fiscal 2021 revenues of $28.9 million.

By division, sales from our Retail Stores increased by 20% to $28.1 million, from $23.5 million, reflecting sales from 2 new stores opened in fiscal 2022 and a same-store sales increase of 15%. Our Food Service sales jumped 68% to $9.1 million in 2022, from $5.4 million in 2021. This was primarily due to a return to strong overnight tourism post lock down during the Covid-19 Pandemic. Sales for Yacht Provisioning advanced 224% to $1.5 million, from $0.5 million, for the same reason.

In addition, improved gross margins of 2% resulted from more bulk purchases resulting in lower product costs.

Total operating expenses were $9.7 million, up 35.7% from $7.1 million in fiscal 2021.

Professional fees, consisting of accounting, audit, legal, security and management fees, grew 24.5% to $0.9 million, from $0.7 million in fiscal 2022. Management and security fees led the increase.

Payroll expense was $2.9 million, up 16.6% compared to $2.5 million for the 2021 fiscal year. We had an increase in payroll expense as our staff went from a 32-hour work week during the Covid-19 curfews, back to a reinstated 40 hours.

Lease expense was $1.8 million, up 10.3% from $1.6 million in fiscal 2021, reflecting the addition of two new store leases.

General and administrative expense was $3.9 million, and increase of 78.9% from $2.2 million in fiscal 2021, attributed to higher promotional expense, utilities, and depreciation expense.

Other Income/Expense

Total other expense for the year ended August 31, 2022, was $127,646 compared to total other expense of $65,282, for year ended August 31, 2021, an increase of $62,364 or 95.5%.

Net Income

Total net income came in at $2.5 million, increasing 44.9% from $1.7 million in fiscal 2021. Our solid increase in net income reflects leverage on the acceleration in revenues, demonstrating our ability to scale and the success of the model.
