 Cost of revenues were $0.05 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 with no material change during those periods.
   
 Research and development expenses decreased by $0.087 million, or 8.7% to $0.912 million for six months ended June 30, 2023, from $0.999 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease was mainly due to a decrease in salaries resulting from the termination of certain employees as the company focuses on building its new SAAS solution.
   
 Selling and marketing expenses decreased by $0.271 million, or 57.9% to $0.197 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, from $0.468 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

 General and administrative expenses increased by $0.427 million, or 114% to $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, from $0.373 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the change of fair value of convertible advanced investment offset by discount expenses relating to a loan received from controlling shareholder, amortization of discount and accrued interest relating to a straight loan received from a commercial bank and a change in fair value of derivative warrant liability.
   
 Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $0.924 million or $0.10 basic net loss per ordinary share, compared to a net loss of $0.836 million, or $0.32 basic net loss per ordinary share, in the six months ended June 30, 2022.
