In February 2019, the Group entered into a series of agreements to covert its short-term interest-free loans to Alphalion Technology Holding Limited and its affiliates which amounted to US$3,060,113 into a 25% equity interest of Alphalion (Note 16). Alphalion is principally engaged in IT services, including software maintenance, application service and data processing. The investment was classified as available-for-sale securities with no contractual maturity date as the Group determined that the preferred shares were debt securities due to the redemption option available to investors and measured the investment subsequently at fair value. In July 2021, Alphalion completed a Series A funding, and after such funding the Group held 16.09% equity interests.
