We view the number of downloads at the end of a given period as a key indicator of the attractiveness and usability of our CHEERS Apps. As of June 30, 2023, downloads of our CHEERS Video, e-Mall and CheerReal apps in total were approximately 395 million, representing an increase of 23% compared to approximately 320 million as of June 30, 2022.\nMAU. MAU is defined as a user who has logged in or accessed the Company's CHEERS Apps. We calculate MAU using internal company data based on the activity of the user account and as adjusted to remove \"duplicate\" accounts. MAU is a tool that our management uses to manage their operations. In particular, our management sets targets of MAU and monitors the MAU to see whether to make adjustments as to the promotional activities, advertising campaign, and/or online video contents. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the average MAU of our CHEERS Video and e-Mall apps were approximately 49.8 million and 4.6 million, growing 9% and 53% respectively as compared to the same period in 2022. The average MAU of the CheerReal app was approximately 1.2 million.\nRPR. We track RPR to analyze the effectiveness of our marketing as well as customers retention, which is vital to our e-Mall. RPR is calculated as the percentage of our customers who have placed more than one order within a certain period of time. For the 180 days period during the first half of 2023, our CHEERS e-Mall RPR was approximately 39%.\nDTS. We measure DTS as an additional metric to evaluate the attractiveness of our video content and stickiness of users. The average DTS using our CHEERS Video during first half 2023 was approximately 51 minutes.\nFirst Half 2023 Financial Results\nRevenues in the first half year of 2023 were US$67.4 million compared to US$69.9 million in the same period of 2022, representing a decrease of US$2.5 million, or 3.57% from US$69.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022.\nTotal operating expenses in the first half year of 2023 were US$58.7 million, compared to US$59.4 million in the same period of 2022.\n\nCost of revenues were US$16.9 million and US$14.6 million for the first half year of 2023 and 2022.
