Thank you, Songli. Hello, everyone. Before I go through our financial results, please note that all numbers stated in the following remarks are in OMB terms, and all comparisons and percentage changes are only year-over-year basis unless otherwise noted. During the first half of 2025, market uncertainties still posed challenges to our operations. Even so, our foundation's position allows us to continue advancing our strategic initiatives. We continue to assess the profitability of both new and existing business lines and make timely adjustments to adapt to shifting market conditions. Ensuring we maintain a leader-like foundation while driving ongoing improvements Now let's take a close look at our foundation. Total revenue were 158.3 million compared to 233.8 million a year ago. Revenues from sales of merchandise were 131.7 million and revenues from our marketplace business were 24.5 million. The changes were primarily due to software-consumed confidence and our ongoing strategy to refine product selection across all categories and optimization of our supply and merchant basis, which affected sales. Despite this challenge, our growth margin remained relatively solid at 47.3%. This was due to sustained customer loyalty towards our product levels and our effective product curation straight-to-the-data efforts. High margin, high retention categories within our integrated portfolio. Now let's take a look at our operating expenses. Fulfillment expenses decreased to £20.6 million from £42.6 million a year ago. This was primarily driven by lower warehousing and logistics costs from reduced merchandise sales. With low personal expenses for staffing, structure, sales and marketing, expenses were $50.1 million compared to $47.5 million a year ago. This was primarily due to high member management space from growing the membership space and increased the personal cost to support expansion into market, partially offset by lower advertising expenses. Technology and content expenses were $15.3 million. Compared to $25.5 million a year ago, the decrease was mainly due to a reduction in personal costs resulting from staffing structure optimization. General and administrative expenses were $93.4 million. Compared to 33.5 million a year ago, the increase was mainly due to a high allowance for credit law fees, partly offset by lower professional service expenses and their personal costs. According to the one-time allowance, J&A expenses decreased by 35.6%, deflecting the loss of our expenses of Total operating expenses in the first half of 2025 were $179.4 million, compared to $149.1 million in the same period of 2024. Loss from operating was $144 million, compared to loss of operating of 32.4 million a year ago. Net loss was 100.7 million. Compared with net loss of 8 million a year ago, well-adjusted net loss was 100.5 million, compared with adjusted net loss of 6.7 million a year ago. Basic and established net loss probability to ordinary shareholders were both 0.05, compared with basic and diluted net income per share of new interest in period of 2024. Turning to recorded as of January 30, 2025, we had a total of $217.1 million in cash, and the cash equivalent expected cash and short-term investment on our balance sheet compared to $242.8 million as of December 31, 2024. Our liquid assets provide adequate coverage for our payable obligations. In addition, we are decorated to marking the master of our working capital and the master managing our assets to best support our operations. During the first half of 2025, we continue to optimize our cost structure while ensuring efficient capital allocation.
