Revenuefor the first half of 2024 was US$14.2 million,compared with US$17.0 million for the first half of 2023. Revenue from Marketing Solutions declined to US$9.3 million for the first half of 2024,compared with US$12.7 million for the first half of 2023. It was resulted from our strategic contraction of lower margin and higher risk businesses,with weaker demand from clients on advertising spending due to uncertainty in the macro-economic environment. Revenue from Enterprise Solutions was US$4.9 million for the first half of 2024,improved from US$4.3 million in the first half of 2023 due to the increasing demand for digital transformation and services.

Gross profitfor the first half of 2024 was US$8.1 million,compared with US$9.3 million for the first half of 2023. With the effort of reducing lower margin and higher risk businesses,and a rising revenue contribution from the higher-margin Enterprise Solutions business,gross profit margin increased to 56.9% for the first half of 2024 from 54.6% for the first half of 2023.

Total operating expenseswere US$12.4 million for the first half of 2024,decreased from US$14.1 million for the first half of 2023. The change was primarily due to our cost optimization execution,which resulted in reduction of staff cost and savings on promotional expenses. The expected credit losses provision of trade receivables was also reduced because of our close monitoring of cash collection.

Net loss from continuing operations was US$1.3million for the first half of 2024,significantly improved from the net loss of US$10.3 million for the first half of 2023,mainly due to no impairment of equity investments in the first half of 2024,which we recorded US$5.6 million in the first half of 2023. Operating loss was reduced by US$0.6 million.

Net loss from continuing operations attributable to the Company's shareholders per basic and diluted ADS for the first half of 2024 wasUS$0.12,compared with a net loss attributable to the Company's shareholders per basic and diluted ADS of US$1.01 for the first half of 2023.

Gross billing1from continuing operations was US$23.1 million for the first half of 2024,compared with US$30.0 million for the first half of 2023,mainly as a result of our continued strategy of reducing lower margin and higher risk businesses,as well as clients' reduced advertising spending.

Net loss from discontinued operations was US$5.1million for the first half of 2024,compared with the net loss of US$18.3 million for the first half of 2023,mainly due to cost optimization,and gain on disposal of discontinued operations amounting to US$2.6million in the first half of 2024.
