Looking at the P&L we can see Total Income for the month was $157.4k. This includes Shopify sales of $105.5k, Amazon sales of $30.7k, and 7th Tradition of $13.9k.

However, 7th Tradition contributions decreased $4.9k from the prior month. Total Income increased by $61.6k, a 64% increase from the prior month.
The combined Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) was $64.4k which was higher than the prior month’s $51.7k COGS. This left WSO with a Gross Profit of $93.0k before operating expenses.
WSO Expenses on the P&L include payroll, overhead and operating expenses. Overall WSO Total Expenses were $49.1k this month, which were higher than the prior month by $2.7k. This is primarily due to Bank and Merchant Fees increasing, driven by the increase in sales. After deducting expenses from the Gross Profit WSO was left with net Profit of $43,878 for the month.
