Revenue
Total revenues were $2.95 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, increased by 3.1% from $2.86 million for the same period of last year. The overall increase in revenue was mainly resulted from the increase of hardware sales.

Revenue generated from software sales was $0.78 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, decreased by 29.5% from $1.10 million for the same period of last year.

Revenue generated from tax devices and services was $0.86 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, decreased by 10.5% from $0.96 million for the same period of last year.
