The revenue from sales of products was $3.7 million and $6.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, having decreased by $3.2 million, or 47%. The decrease was mainly associated with bitcoin price fall in the first half of 2022, which led to a shrink in bitcoin miners’ trading business.

Gross profit as a percentage of revenue (“gross margin”) was 14% and 11% for the six months ended June 30, 2021, and 2022, respectively. The decrease of gross margin was mainly due to the decrease in margin of sales of products. Our selling price dropped because of the fall in bitcoin price.

Selling and marketing expenses increased by $0.12 million from $0.12 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, to $0.24 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022.
