Notably, total computing power delivered was 440,000 TH/s in the fourth quarter. Our stellar performance is a result of our efforts in strengthening our supply chain, upgrading products, and is a testament to our successful shift into new growth strategies. We are very pleased with the swift progress as our full-year revenues resulted in $36.71 million, out of which $31.37 million were from the fourth quarter. Meanwhile, we turned into profitability in 2021, with net income of $3.53 million compared to net loss of $1.07 million in the prior year. As we enter 2022, we will continue focusing on delivering mining machines, acquiring new customers and improving supply chain capability while seeking additional growth avenues.

In the fourth quarter, our net revenues increased by $31.36 million year-over-year. Net income was $3.84 million, compared to net loss of $92,664 in the same period of 2020. The achievements reflect our effective execution capabilities in mitigating global logistics congestions and a semiconductor shortage.

With these concerted efforts, we believe we can further unleash the vast potential of the blockchain market."
