Our net revenues for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021 amounted to $37.77 million, which represents an increase of approximately $34.13 million, or 938%, from $3.64 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020. This increase was attributable to the acquisition of certain subsidiaries and VIEs. Cost of Revenues. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, we experienced an increase in cost of revenue of $31.6 million or 1331%, in comparison to the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, from approximately $2.37 million to $33.9 million. This increase was mainly due to the acquisition of certain subsidiaries and VIEs. Gross Profit. Our gross profit increased by $2.58 million, or 203% to $3.85 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021 from $1.27 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020. This increase was mainly attributable to the acquisition of certain subsidiaries and VIEs. Operating Expenses Selling and Marketing Expenses. Our selling and marketing expenses increased by $1.89 million, or 1183%, to $2.05 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021 from $0.16 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020. This increase was mainly due to our effort to expand our business. General and Administrative Expenses. We experienced an increase in general and administrative expense of $3.33 million from $3.90 million to approximately $7.22 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, compared to the twelve months ended December 31, 2020. This cost increase was mainly due to the increase of the professional service fees and expenses incurred by the newly acquired business operation. Net Loss Our net loss decreased by $1.06 million, or 10%, to a net loss of $9.99 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021 from $11.05 million in net loss for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020. This decrease was mainly due to our effort to expand our business. Liquidity and Capital Resources In assessing our liquidity, we monitor and analyze our cash-on-hand and operating and capital expenditure commitments. Our liquidity needs meet our working capital requirements, operating expenses, and capital expenditure obligations. In the reporting period in the fiscal year 2021, our primary sources of financing have been cash generated from operations and private placements. As of December 31, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents (including restricted cash) of $1.13 million compared to $3.42 million as of December 31, 2020. The debt to assets ratio was 40.41% and 16.65% as of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. We expect to continue to finance our operations and working capital needs in 2021 from cash generated from operations and, if needed, private financings. Suppose available liquidity is insufficient to meet our operating and loan obligations as they come due. In that case, our plans include pursuing alternative financing arrangements or reducing expenditures as necessary to meet our cash requirements. However, there is no assurance that we will raise additional capital or reduce discretionary spending to provide liquidity if needed. We cannot be sure of the availability or terms of any alternative financing arrangements. The following table provides detailed information about our net cash flow for all financial statement periods presented in this report. 21 Cash Flows Data: For the twelve months ended December 31 (In thousands of U.S. dollars) 2021 2020 Net cash flows used in operating activities (519 ) (3,499 ) Net cash flows used in investing activities (11,814 ) (853 ) Net cash flows provided by financing activities 8,932 238 Operating Activities For the year ended December 31, 2021, net cash used in operating activities was $0.52 million, which consisted primarily of net loss of $9.99 million, and was adjusted by depreciation and amortization of $2.45 million, impairment of goodwill of $3.23 million and share based compensation expense of $1.16 million.

This is mainly due to the proceeds from the private placement transactions. Critical Accounting Policies The preparation of financial statements in conformity with the United States generally accepted accounting principles requires our management to make assumptions, estimates, and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements, including the notes to that, and related disclosures of commitments contingencies, if any. We consider our critical accounting policies to require the more significant judgments and estimates in preparing financial statements, including those outlined in Note 2 to the financial statements included herein. The Company has evaluated the timing and the impact of the guidance above on the financial statements. As of December 31, 2021, there were no other recently issued accounting standards not yet adopted that would or could have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
