Revenue generated from Europe decreased by 43.3%, to $8.5 million for fiscal year 2024, from $15.0 million for fiscal year 2023. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease of sales in Denmark, Hungary and Bulgaria, which was partially offset by the increase of sales in Italy.
Revenue generated from Asia decreased by 34.9%, to $4.8 million for fiscal year 2024, from $7.4 million for fiscal year 2023. The decrease was primarily due to sales decreases in China of $1.6 million, and sales decreases in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, or ASEAN, of $1.0 million.
Revenue generated from the Americas decreased by 12.4%, to $1.4 million for fiscal year 2024, from $1.6 million for fiscal year 2023. The decrease was primarily due to the sales decrease in North America of $0.2 million.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue decreased by 33.1%, to $10.8 million for fiscal year 2024, from $16.2 million for fiscal year 2023, which was in line with the decrease of total revenue.
Inventory costs amounted to $7.3 million for fiscal year 2024, compared to $12.1 million for fiscal year 2023. The decrease of inventory costs was primarily due to a 44.1% decrease in the total sales volume, which was partially offset by an 8.5% increase in the inventory cost per unit.
Labor costs amounted to $2.5 million for fiscal year 2024, compared to $2.9 million for fiscal year 2023. The decrease of labor costs was primarily because we reduced the number of manufacturing employees.
Gross Profit and Gross Margin
Gross profit decreased by 50.1%, to $3.9 million for fiscal year 2024, from $7.9 million for fiscal year 2023.
Gross profit margin decreased by 6.1%, to 26.6% for fiscal year 2024, from 32.7% for fiscal year 2023.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses decreased by 5.1%, to $5.8 million for fiscal year 2024, from $6.1 million for fiscal year 2023. The expense reduction was mainly due to the decline in selling expenses and research and development expenses. The decrease was partially offset by the increase in the general and administrative expenses.
Other Income
Other income decreased to $0.5 million for fiscal year 2024, from $0.7 million for fiscal year 2023.
Net (Loss)/Income
Net income decreased by 158.7%, to net loss of $1.3 million for fiscal year 2024, from net income of $2.2 million for fiscal year 2023.
Basic and Diluted (Loss)/Earnings per Share
Basic and diluted loss per share was $0.13 for fiscal year 2024, compared to earnings per share of $0.22 for fiscal year 2023.

Global Times: Technology helps restore identities of unknown heroes
Published
2 minutes agoon
June 21, 2026By
BEIJING, June 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — At Fudan University, a group of research teams has spent years using cutting-edge technology to restore the faces of China’s fallen soldiers. After successfully reconstructing the appearances of 10 martyrs who sacrificed their lives during the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1931-45), they have now achieved another breakthrough: recreating the face of an unidentified Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) soldier who sacrificed his life decades ago.
Using DNA analysis, digital archaeology and facial reconstruction technology, a team has restored the appearance of one of the unidentified soldiers whose remains were unearthed from the battlefield.
By restoring the faces of unknown martyrs, researchers aim to allow the public to see them not as abstract figures in history, but as real individuals who lived through extraordinary hardship and made profound sacrifices, Huang Ping, vice dean of the Institute of Forensic Science of Fudan University, told the Global Times.
Tracing the unidentified
Decades ago, more than 300 PLA troops died in fierce fighting at Majitang in Taojiang county, Central China’s Hunan Province.
Many of the soldiers had come from Northeast China and had marched south with the advancing army following the Liaoshen Campaign.
The battle successfully pinned down enemy forces and helped create favorable conditions for the subsequent Hengbao Campaign, a decisive operation that accelerated the liberation of Hunan.
After the fighting ended, local residents buried the fallen soldiers near the battlefield, leaving behind a number of anonymous graves that would remain unidentified for more than 70 years.
In August 2024, China’s National Martyrs’ Remains Search Team launched an archaeological excavation at the Majitang battlefield.
The excavation brought together more than 20 faculty members and students from Fudan University and Wuhan University. Specialists were divided into teams responsible for excavation, cleaning, anthropological analysis, three-dimensional modeling, sample collection and remains preservation, according to CCTV News.
The remains had been buried outdoors for more than 75 years, leaving them exposed to moisture, soil erosion and environmental degradation. Extracting usable DNA from such fragile material was far from guaranteed.
“Exhumation is an extremely serious matter. We cannot take all samples back with us; DNA collection must be completed quickly on site, and we only have one chance to choose,” said Huang.
In theory, teeth are the first choice, followed by dense bone. However, most of the remains recovered from Majitang had no teeth, and intact skulls were extremely rare, with most consisting only of fragments.
“We can only rely on experience and try to select the densest structures possible,” she said.
A total of 57 human remains were recovered during the excavation, and forensic analysis indicates they belong to at least nine martyrs. Among the nine sets of remains, one skull was relatively well preserved.
According to Huang, a clear bullet hole was visible on the surface of the skull. After 3D reconstruction, researchers were able to trace the path of a bullet that penetrated the top of the cranium, which they determined to be the fatal injury.
Based on comparisons with skeletal development models in their database, the researchers estimated that the soldier was around 20 years old at the time of his death.
Science meets remembrance
After multiple rounds of optimization, researchers were able to extract DNA from the recovered remains, with 24 samples ultimately yielding DNA libraries suitable for further analysis.
Researchers first conducted anthropological examinations to determine basic biological characteristics, including sex, age and physical features, providing a precise anatomical foundation for facial reconstruction.
Based on the 3D model, they applied artificial intelligence algorithms to extract key cranial features and gradually reconstruct facial structures.
“The facial reconstruction we use is a generative model that analyzes the biological contours of different individuals’ skulls to reconstruct the appearance of remains, rather than producing a standardized or ‘face-like’ template,” Huang told the Global Times.
“Building on reconstruction based on cranial morphology, we also incorporate supplementary DNA molecular information to refine individualized facial features, such as eyebrow shape and ear structure,” noted Huang.
For the first time in decades, the young soldier’s appearance could be seen again. He has sharp features, a high nose bridge and single eyelids. According to the research team, the reconstruction achieved an estimated accuracy of up to 90 percent.
Searching for a name
Restoring a face is only one step toward restoring an identity.
The next stage involves locating surviving relatives and comparing their DNA with the recovered genetic material.
Authorities have publicly appealed for information and are encouraging anyone with relevant family histories or records to come forward.
For Huang and his colleagues, identifying the soldier would represent more than a scientific achievement.
As many of the soldiers who died in the Majitang battlefield were from Northeast China, the veterans affairs departments in Hunan and Jilin provinces jointly conducted a review to support efforts to locate their families.
They have compiled a list of 40 martyrs and released contact information to collect leads, seeking public assistance in identifying relatives of the young men who died far from home 77 years ago.
The most important thing is the joint effort of government authorities and society as a whole to find leads, Huang said.
Once potential clues are identified, researchers can then trace possible descendants and compare their DNA with the samples collected today to see whether a match can be made.
“That is what we are working on now,” he said.

The sprawling golden ruins, immersive visuals, lasers, flames, and a career-spanning setlist featuring songs from Hurry Up Tomorrow alongside hits including “Blinding Lights,” “Starboy,” and “Can’t Feel My Face.”
The After Hours Til Dawn Tour remains the highest-grossing tour ever by a male solo artist, having surpassed $1 billion in global gross and sold more than 7.5 million tickets across 153 shows. In 2026 alone, the tour has already sold more than 3 million tickets and generated over $440 million in revenue.
Following Copenhagen, the tour continues with multi-night stadium runs across Munich, Lille, Paris, Amsterdam, Milan, Frankfurt, Warsaw, Stockholm, London, Dublin, Madrid, Barcelona and Lisbon before concluding with a final Asia leg later this year.

BlueNexus Technologies Unveils AquaX Hub at SIWW 2026 — AI Autonomous Operations Extended to Legacy Water Assets
Published

June 21, 2026By
SINGAPORE, June 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — At Singapore International Water Week (SIWW) 2026, BlueNexus Technologies unveiled the global debut of AquaX Hub™ — a compact plug-and-play edge device that brings full AI-powered autonomous operation to standalone water equipment and legacy treatment plants. The launch drew sustained engagement from utilities, industrial operators and engineering firms.
The water sector confronts converging pressures: aging infrastructure, a critical shortage of skilled technicians, and relentless operational cost escalation. AquaX Hub™ answers these directly — extending the AI autonomous operation already proven plant-wide by AquaX Robot™ to a single asset, and delivering comparable monitoring and operational management without a control-system overhaul.
“The industry cannot hire its way out of this problem,” said Jack Zhang, CEO of BlueNexus Technologies. “AI autonomous operation is no longer a future concept — the barrier to entry is gone.”
The AquaX Ecosystem
BlueNexus has built the industry’s first fully integrated AI autonomous water operation platform, spanning three complementary pillars:
AquaX Robot™ is the flagship plant-wide AI agent, built on large language models with proprietary vision, acoustic and infrared multimodal sensing. It optimizes treatment processes 24/7 and predicts equipment failures. Live deployments show up to 90% reduction in on-site staffing, a 50% drop in equipment breakdowns, and approximately 35% lower O&M costs.
AquaX Hub™, making its global debut at SIWW 2026, is a lightweight edge terminal extending that capability to any water system. With an independent local processing module, it monitors and inspects equipment through multimodal sensing and runs a self-contained processing loop. The device integrates seamlessly with existing SCADA, cloud and enterprise platforms via standardized APIs.
i-WaterHub™, the company’s standardized modular treatment plant, operated autonomously by AquaX Robot, delivers 2,500 to 40,000 m³/day for municipal and industrial applications.
Market Momentum
SIWW 2026 convened nearly 500 exhibitors from over 65 countries. BlueNexus has identified priority markets for AquaX Hub™ in Southeast Asia, the Middle East and Africa. “The conversations this week have already translated into concrete business opportunities and we expect rapid deployment in the coming months.” Zhang confirmed.
About BlueNexus Technologies
BlueNexus Technologies is a Singapore-based water-technology company building intelligent, AI-operated systems for the world’s most water-intensive industries. We design and deliver modular water treatment infrastructure that is smarter to run, faster to deploy, and built to operate autonomously.
