Mr. Chenjun Li, Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer of the Company commented, "We are very excited in the impressive strides we have made across multiple fronts, which followed our announcement of new business lines and growth strategy in August. We have gained considerable attention and interests to our first ASIC crypto mining machine-KOI MINER C16, thanks to its top industry metrics. Notably, we secured purchase orders for 67,500 cryptocurrency mining machines within just three months from various companies. These achievements exemplify the strong industry recognition we received in our product and further establish our leading position in the cryptocurrency mining industry. Additionally, despite a global semiconductor shortage and logistic challenges, we are effectively navigating market dynamics by securing our supply chain capabilities through the AGMH-HighSharp partnership and exploring opportunities for manufacturing operation in North America that can bring us closer to our end customers. We are confident we will distinguish ourselves with our technical capabilities to become a leader in producing high-powered ASIC mining machines."
Mr. Wenjie Tang, Co-Chief Executive Officer of the Company, commented, "By leveraging the new growth strategy, we were off to a firm start financially, with revenues of $5.34 million in the third quarter, primarily from sales of crypto mining machines, and computing hardware. The initial success boosts our confidence that we are on the right path of business transformation. Apart from the new initiative, we remain diligent to push the development of our legacy fintech business as planned. We believe the combined strengths of our solid infrastructure, technology, and our experienced senior management team will enable us to deliver lasting value for shareholders. We will further advance our mission to become an integrated technology company focusing on blockchain-oriented ASIC chip design, advanced cryptocurrency mining equipment production, and fintech software services."
Mr. Steven Sim, Chief Financial Officer of the Company, commented, "Our solid financial performance for the third quarter demonstrates the success and profitability of our transition and engagement into the ASIC chip design and cryptocurrency mining equipment manufacturing space. Notably, our income from operations and net income turned to positive over the period, compared to both losses in the prior year. Moreover, we are optimistic on the strategic importance of our partnership with HighSharp, of which the progress will be on track with the schedule. Heading into 2022, our imperatives will be delivering the substantial number of mining machines ordered as scheduled, ramping up our production capacity, and securing more purchase orders. As we seek to sustain our future growth trajectory, we will keep investing into strengthening our R&D, cutting-edge technologies, and manufacturing capacity to propel further development in our core crypto miner manufacturing business and other initiatives."

Third Quarter 2021 Financial Results
Revenues
Total revenues were $5.34 million, an increase of approximately $5.30 million from $31,261 in the same period of 2020.

Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues was $4.62 million, an increase of approximately $4.61 million from $10,123 in the same period of 2020. The increase was primarily due to the increase in procurement costs of crypto mining machines and standardized computing equipment, compared with nil in the same period of 2020.
Gross Profit
