Accounting Basis & Channel Definitions: Revenue recognized on shipment (Amazon FBA) / order confirmation (Shopify/Walmart). Returns recorded gross; refunds deducted to arrive at Net Revenue. COGS = landed product cost (supplier invoice + inbound freight + customs duties), allocated to channels by unit volume ratio. Channel fees = all marketplace and payment fees directly attributable to each channel. Amazon Marketplace Facilitator Tax is collected and remitted by Amazon; Suncoast does not include this in revenue or tax obligations. Florida sales tax (7%) is collected on Shopify sales to FL residents and remitted monthly. No FL state corporate income tax applies (LLC, pass-through entity). Amazon disbursements are on a 14-day rolling cycle; outstanding disbursements shown as Amazon Receivable on balance sheet.

* Blended contribution margin (after COGS + all channel fees + advertising). Amazon's lower margin reflects FBA fee structure & PPC spend.
📌 January commentary: Revenue shortfall ($14K vs budget) driven by a delayed Shopify Valentine's Day campaign that launched January 28 instead of January 7 as planned. Full campaign impact expected in February. Amazon revenue was soft due to keyword bids being reset after account review — ACOS spiked to 25% briefly but has been corrected (see P10). Cash position is the strongest it has been in 6 months at $87K. Florida sales tax for January filed and paid January 31. No FL income tax liability — LLC pass-through.
✨ Shopify has the highest contribution margin (42.1%) — no marketplace fees and lower ad-to-revenue ratio vs. Amazon. Scaling DTC is the primary strategic lever.Page 3 of 12

Shopify's higher EBIT despite lower revenue reflects no FBA costs and lower advertising CPAs through retargeting audiences.
Amazon: every $1 of revenue costs $0.30 in marketplace fees before COGS. Shopify: every $1 costs $0.03 in fees. Scaling Shopify is 3x more capital efficient per dollar of contribution.Page 4 of 12

FBA fees (fulfillment + referral + storage = $63.2K) consume 20% of GMV before a single marketing dollar is spent. This is the core structural challenge on Amazon. Shopify eliminates the fulfilment fee — the same product shipped DTC costs ~$6.20 in actual shipping vs. $15–18 in FBA fees. Every unit shifted from Amazon to Shopify adds ~$9–12 to contribution margin.
Florida LLC advantage: $0 state income tax on pass-through LLC income. EBIT of $34,560 flows entirely to federal and owner returns — no FL corporate tax drag.Page 5 of 12

💰 Working capital tied up in inventory: $240,200. This is the single largest use of cash in the business. $182K sits at Amazon warehouses earning storage fees. Q4 2025 over-ordering of Wellness Accessories resulted in $4,804 of aged stock at risk of Amazon LTSF charges (currently $0.50/unit/month, escalating to $6.90 after 365 days). Action: initiate removal order by March 15 and liquidate via Shopify "clearance" collection at 30% discount.
Target: reduce FBA inventory coverage from 57 days to 45 days by Q2 2026. This frees ~$30K cash and reduces monthly storage fees by est. $900/month.Page 7 of 12

Supplier payment terms extended from net-30 to net-45 in January — this added $5,800 to cash. Q4 inventory build is normalising (warehouse inventory down $6K). Cash position of $87K is the strongest month-end since August 2025. LOC headroom $37K is ample buffer for Q1 purchases.
