And we have taken necessary steps and initiatives to proactively address obstacles and strengthen our management and operational capabilities to navigate through these tough times. Continuing the effort started in Q1'2022, we have shaved off more operating expenses, and we further reduced salary cost as we streamlined our workforce."

For Value-added Services, the overall market will take time to stabilize before the revenue can return to the historical level.
