The revenue for this period followed closely behind Harris’ record $9.8 million in revenue for the September quarter. However, the latest revenue figure is a significant increase from the $2.35 million posted in the December 2019 quarter.
For the six months ending December 31 2020, Harris’ unaudited half-year revenue jumped 373 per cent compared to the previous corresponding period, launching from $4.1 million to $19.39 million.
In terms of expenditure, Harris spent about $8.8 million on inventory purchases. Overall, the consumer discretionary stock spent $9.27 million on inventory, advertising, and staff and admin costs.
This sum is roughly $2.5 million less than what Harris spent in the previous quarter, which was largely fuelled by preparations for the Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales event.
