Amortization expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were approximately US$1.06 million and US$0.28 million, respectively. Amortization expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were approximately US$0.53 million and US$0.17 million, respectively.

Based on the adjusted carrying value of the finite-lived intangible assets after the deduction of the impairment losses, which has a weighted average remaining useful life of 3.48 years as of June 30, 2022, and assuming no further subsequent impairment of the underlying intangible assets, the estimated future amortization expenses is  approximately US$1.06 million for the year ending December 31, 2022, approximately US$2.12 million each year for the year ending December 31, 2023 and 2024, approximately US$0.63 million for the year ending December 31, 2025, approximately US$0.18 million for the year ending December 31, 2026, and approximately US$0.12 million for the year ending December 31, 2027.
