ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES | |
ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES | 1. ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES 9F Inc. (the “Company” or “9F”) was incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands on January 24, 2014. The Company, its subsidiaries, its consolidated variable interest entities (“VIEs”) and VIEs’ subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group”) are digital platform integrating and personalizing financial services in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). The Group provides a comprehensive range of financial products and services across online lending, wealth management, and payment facilitation, all integrated under a single digital financial account. In light of the tightening of the RPC regulatory environment, the Group significantly decreased its online lending information intermediary services in 2020 in the PRC and are planning to replace the lost business by developing markets outside the PRC. Prior to the incorporation of the Company, the Group operated its business in China through Jiufu Shuke Technology Group Co, Ltd (“Jiufu Shuke”), formerly known as Jiufu Jinke Holding Group Co, Ltd., as a limited liability company owned by the original shareholders (the “Founders”), Zhenxiang Zhong, Guangwu Gao, and Yifan Ren. On August 25, 2014, Jiufu Shuke became the Group’s consolidated VIEs through the contractual arrangements described below in “Basis of consolidation” in Note 2. |

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | |
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). Revenue presentation in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been retrospectively reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. Basis of consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, its subsidiaries and consolidated VIEs, including the VIEs’ subsidiaries, for which the Group is the primary beneficiary. All transactions and balances among the Company, its subsidiaries, the VIEs and the VIEs’ subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation. As PRC laws and regulations prohibit and restrict foreign ownership of internet value-added businesses, the Group operates its internet related business in the PRC through two PRC domestic companies, Jiufu Shuke and Beijing Puhui Lianyin Information Technology Limited (“Beijing Puhui”), whose equity interests are held by certain management members and the Founders of the Group. The Group established four wholly-owned foreign invested subsidiaries in the PRC, Beijing Shuzhi Lianyin Technology Co., Ltd (“Shunzhi Lianyin”), Zhuhai Xiaojin Hulian Technology Co., Ltd (“Xiaojin Hulian”), Zhuhai Wukong Youpin Technology Co., Ltd (“Wukong Youpin”), and Qinghai Fuyuan Network Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd (“Qinghai Fuyuan”, together with Shunzhi Lianyin, Xiaojin Hulian, and Wukong Youpin collectively referred as the “WFOEs”). By entering into a series of agreements (the “VIE Agreements”), the Group, through WFOEs, obtained control over Jiufu Shuke and Beijing Puhui (collectively referred as “VIEs”). The VIE Agreements enable the Group to (1) have power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the economic performance of the VIEs, and (2) receive the economic benefits of the VIEs that could be significant to the VIEs. Accordingly, the Group is considered the primary beneficiary of the VIEs and has consolidated the VIEs’ financial results of operations, assets and liabilities in the Group’s consolidated financial statements. In making the conclusion that the Group is the primary beneficiary of the VIEs, the Group’s rights under the Power of Attorney also provide the Group’s abilities to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIEs’ economic performance. The Group also believes that this ability to exercise control ensures that the VIEs will continue to execute and renew the Master Exclusive Service Agreement and pay service fees to the Group. By charging service fees to be determined and adjusted at the sole discretion of the Group, and by ensuring that the Master Exclusive Service Agreement is executed and remains effective, the Group has the rights to receive substantially all of the economic benefits from the VIEs. Details of the VIE Agreements, are set forth below: VIE Agreements that were entered to give the Group effective control over the VIEs include: Voting Rights Proxy Agreement and Irrevocable Power of Attorney Under which each shareholder of the VIEs grant to any person designated by WFOEs to act as its attorney-in-fact to exercise all shareholder rights under PRC law and the relevant articles of association, including but not limited to, appointing directors, supervisors and officers of the VIEs as well as the right to sell, transfer, pledge and dispose all or a portion of the equity interest held by such shareholders of the VIEs. The proxy and power of attorney agreements will remain effective as long as WFOEs exist. The shareholders of the VIEs do not have the right to terminate the proxy agreements or revoke the appointment of the attorney-in-fact without written consent of the WFOEs. Exclusive Option Agreement Under which each shareholder of the VIEs granted 9F or any third party designated by 9F the exclusive and irrevocable right to purchase from such shareholders of the VIEs, to the extent permitted by PRC law and regulations, all or part of their respective equity interests in the VIEs for a purchase price equal to the registered capital. The shareholders of the VIEs will then return the purchase price to 9F or any third party designated by 9F after the option is exercised. 9F may transfer all or part of its option to a third party at its own option. The VIEs and its shareholders agree that without prior written consent of 9F, they may not transfer or otherwise dispose the equity interests or declare any dividends. The restated option agreement will remain effective until 9F or any third party designated by 9F acquires all equity interest of the VIEs. Spousal Consent The spouse of each shareholder of the VIEs has entered into a spousal consent letter to acknowledge that he or she consents to the disposition of the equity interests held by his or her spouse in the VIEs in accordance with the exclusive option agreement, the power of attorney and the equity pledge agreement regarding VIE structure described above, and any other supplemental agreement(s) may be consented by his or her spouse from time to time. Each such spouse further agrees that he or she will not take any action or raise any claim to interfere with the arrangements contemplated under the mentioned agreements. In addition, each such spouse further acknowledges that any right or interest in the equity interests held by his or her spouse in the VIEs do not constitute property jointly owned with his or her spouse and each such spouse unconditionally and irrevocably waives any right or interest in such equity interests. Loan Agreement Pursuant to the loan agreements between WFOEs and each shareholder of the VIEs, WFOEs extended loans to the shareholders of the VIEs, who had contributed the loan principal to the VIEs as registered capital. The shareholders of VIEs may repay the loans only by transferring their respective equity interests in VIEs to 9F Inc. or its designated person(s) pursuant to the exclusive option agreements. These loan agreements will remain effective until the date of full performance by the parties of their respective obligations thereunder. VIE Agreements that enables the Group to receive substantially all of the economic benefits from the VIEs include: Equity Interest Pledge Agreement Pursuant to equity interest pledge agreement, each shareholder of the VIEs has pledged all of his or her equity interest held in the VIEs to WFOEs to secure the performance by VIEs and their shareholders of their respective obligations under the contractual arrangements, including the payments due to WFOEs for services provided. In the event that the VIEs breach any obligations under these agreements, WFOEs as the pledgees, will be entitled to request immediate disposal of the pledged equity interests and have priority to be compensated by the proceeds from the disposal of the pledged equity interests. The shareholders of the VIEs shall not transfer their equity interests or create or permit to be created any pledges without the prior written consent of WFOEs. The equity interest pledge agreement will remain valid until the master exclusive service agreement and the relevant exclusive option agreements and proxy and power of attorney agreements, expire or terminate. Master Exclusive Service Agreement Pursuant to exclusive service agreement, WFOEs have the exclusive right to provide the VIEs with technical support, consulting services and other services. WFOEs shall exclusively own any intellectual property arising from the performance of the agreement. During the term of this agreement, the VIEs may not accept any services covered by this agreement provided by any third party. The VIEs agree to pay service fees to be determined and adjusted at the sole discretion of the WFOEs. The agreement will remain effective unless WFOEs terminate the agreement in writing. Risks in relation to the VIE structure The Group believes that the contractual arrangements with the VIEs and their current shareholders are in compliance with PRC laws and regulations and are legally enforceable. However, uncertainties in the PRC legal system could limit the Group’s ability to enforce the contractual arrangements. If the legal structure and contractual arrangements were found to be in violation of PRC laws and regulations, the PRC government could: ● Revoke the business and operating licenses of the Group’s PRC subsidiaries or consolidated affiliated entities; ● Discontinue or restrict the operations of any related-party transactions among the Group’s PRC subsidiaries or consolidated affiliated entities; ● Impose fines or other requirements on the Group’s PRC subsidiaries or consolidated affiliated entities; ● Require the Group’s PRC subsidiaries or consolidated affiliated entities to revise the relevant ownership structure or restructure operations; and/or; ● Restrict or prohibit the Group’s use of the proceeds of the additional public offering to finance the Group’s business and operations in China; ● Shut down the Group’s servers or blocking the Group’s online platform; ● Discontinue or place restrictions or onerous conditions on the Group’s operations; and/or ● Require the Group to undergo a costly and disruptive restructuring. The Group’s ability to conduct its business may be negatively affected if the PRC government were to carry out any of the afore mentioned actions. As a result, the Group may not be able to consolidate the VIEs in its consolidated financial statements as it may lose the ability to exert effective control over the VIEs and its shareholders, and it may lose the ability to receive economic benefits from the VIEs. The Group currently does not believe that any penalties imposed or actions taken by the PRC government would result in the liquidation of the Company, WFOEs, or the VIEs. The following table sets forth the assets, liabilities, results of operations and cash flows of the VIEs and their subsidiaries, which are included in the Group’s consolidated financial statements after the elimination of intercompany balances and transactions: As of December 31, As of December 31, 2020 2021 RMB RMB Assets: Cash and cash equivalents 1,501,733 1,436,350 Term deposits 135,000 85,000 Investment in marketable securities — 78,725 Accounts receivable, net 9,888 79,605 Other receivables, net 68,742 34,439 Loan receivables, net 221,200 234,750 Amounts due from related parties — 41,750 Prepaid expenses and other assets 740,959 705,528 Contracts assets, net 10,374 — Long‑term investments, net 491,510 490,314 Operating lease right-of-use assets, net 18,611 10,602 Property, equipment and software, net 51,701 32,593 Goodwill, net 72,304 72,304 Intangible assets, net 40,187 37,386 Total assets 3,362,209 3,339,346 Liabilities: Deferred revenue 81,246 46,175 Payroll and welfare payable 29,152 12,054 Income taxes payable 224,533 255,618 Accrued expenses and other liabilities 238,170 138,144 Operating lease liabilities 19,100 9,700 Amounts due to related parties 24,146 23,967 Deferred tax liabilities 5,742 5,041 Total liabilities 622,089 490,699 For the years ended December 31, 2019 2020 2021 RMB RMB RMB Net revenues 4,305,272 1,145,210 701,329 Net income (loss) (1,551,509) (1,479,883) (154,732) For the years ended December 31, 2019 2020 2021 RMB RMB RMB Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities (439,357) (753,416) 1,014,571 Net cash used in investing activities (1,315,875) (511,832) (51,410) Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities (5,188) — 3,305 Under the VIE Arrangements, the Group has the power to direct activities of the VIEs and can have assets transferred out of the VIEs. Therefore, the Group considers that there is no asset in the VIEs that can be used only to settle obligations of the VIEs, except for assets that correspond to the amount of the registered capital and PRC statutory reserves, if any. As the VIEs are incorporated as limited liability companies under the Company Law of the PRC, creditors of the VIEs do not have recourse to the general credit of the Group for any of the liabilities of the VIEs. Currently there is no contractual arrangement which requires the Group to provide additional financial support to the VIEs. However, as the Group conducts its businesses primarily based on the licenses held by the VIEs, the Group has provided and will continue to provide financial support to the VIEs. Revenue-producing assets held by the VIEs include certain internet content provision (“ICP”) licenses and other licenses, domain names and trademarks. The ICP licenses and other licenses are required under relevant PRC laws, rules and regulations for the operation of internet businesses in the PRC, and therefore are integral to the Group’s operations. The ICP licenses require that core PRC trademark registrations and domain names are held by the VIEs that provide the relevant services. The VIEs contributed an aggregate of 91.18% and 92.10% of the consolidated net revenues for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2021, respectively. The rest of revenue are from Sounth Aisa and HK. As of December 31, 2020 and 2021, the VIE accounted for an aggregate of 62.42% and 66.16%, respectively, of the consolidated total assets, and 53.48% and 57.08%, respectively, of the consolidated total liabilities. The assets that were not associated with the VIE primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents. Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from such estimates. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Group’s financial statements are estimates and judgments applied in revenue recognition, allowance for receivables, impairment loss of investments, share-based compensation and realization of deferred tax assets. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates. Revenue recognition The Group follows the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers The core principle of Topic 606 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Online Lending Information Intermediary Services revenue Through its online platform, the Group provided intermediary services on the personal financing product, One Card, under which the holders of One Card could apply for loans on a revolving basis (“revolving loan products”). The Group also provided one-time loan facilitation services to meet various consumption needs (“non-revolving loan products”). For revolving loan products and non-revolving loan products, the Group’s services provided consisted of: a) Matching marketplace investors to potential qualified borrowers and facilitating the execution of loan agreements between the parties (referred to as “loan facilitation service”); and b) Providing repayment processing services for the marketplace investors and borrowers over the loan term, including repayment reminders and following up on late repayments (referred to as “post origination services”). The Group has determined that it is not the legal lender or borrower in the loan origination and repayment process, but acting as an intermediary to bring the lender and the borrower together. Therefore, the Group did not record the loans receivable or payable arising from the loans facilitated between the investors and borrowers on its platform. The Group considered its customers to be both the investors and borrowers. The Group considered the loan facilitation services and post origination services as two separate services, which represented two separate performance obligations under Topic 606, as these two deliverables are distinct in that customers could benefit from each service on its own and the Group’s promises to deliver the services are separately identifiable from each other in the contract. The Group determined the total transaction price to be the service fees chargeable from the borrowers and investors. The transaction price was allocated to the loan facilitation services and post origination services using their relative standalone selling prices consistent with the guidance in Topic 606. The Group did not have observable standalone selling price information for the loan facilitation services or post origination services because it did not provide loan facilitation services or post origination services on a standalone basis. There was no direct observable standalone selling price for similar services in the market that was reasonably available to the Group. As a result, the Group used an expected plus margin approach to estimate the standalone selling prices of loan facilitation services and post origination services as the basis of revenue allocation, which involved significant judgements. In estimating its standalone selling price for the loan facilitation services and post origination services, the Group considered the cost incurred to deliver such services, profit margin for similar arrangements, customer demand, effect of competitors on the Group’s services, and other market factors. For each type of service, the Group recognized revenue when (or as) the entity satisfied the service/performance obligation by transferring a promised good or service (that is, an asset) to a customer. Revenues from loan facilitation were recognized at the time a loan was originated between the investor and the borrower and the principal loan balance was transferred to the borrower, at which time the loan facilitation service was considered completed. Revenues from post origination services were recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the underlying loans as the services were provided ratably on a monthly basis. A majority of the service fee was charged to the borrowers, which was collected upfront upon at the loan inception or collected over the loan term. Investors paid service fees to the Group either at the beginning and at the end of the investment commitment period (in terms of automated investing tools) or over the terms of the loan (in terms of self-directing investing tools). In 2019 and 2020, service fees charged at the beginning or at the end of the investment commitment period or over the terms of the loans in the periods presented were calculated to be equal to an annualized interest rate ranging from 0.5% to 1.5% based on the investment amount and the investment term. Service fees charged to borrowers and investors, including the service fees charged to investors collected at the end of the investment commitment period or over the terms of the loans in the periods presented, were combined as contract price to be allocated to the two performance obligations relating to loan facilitation services and post-origination services, and recognized as revenue when the relevant services were delivered. Revenue recognized related to service fees not yet received from investors that will be collected at the end of the investment commitment period and over the commitment period were recorded as accounts receivable. All service fees were fixed and not refundable. Revenue recognized was recorded net of value added tax (“VAT”). Remaining performance obligations represented the amount of the transaction price for which service had not been performed under post-origination services. In December 2020, the Group ceased publishing information relating to new offerings of investment opportunities in fixed income products for investors on its online lending information intermediary platform. Pursuant to certain collaboration arrangements entered into by the Group and a licensed asset management company, the rights of investors in existing loans underlying the fixed income products were transferred to the asset management company. After such transfer, the outstanding balance of loans facilitated became nil and loan facilitation services were nil in 2021, and the asset management company provided the existing investors with services in relation to the return of their remaining investment in loans. Direct lending program revenue Through its direct lending program, the Group provides traffic referral services to financial institution partners, allowing the financial institution partners to gain access to borrowers who passed the Group’s risk assessment. The Group’s services provided consist of: a) Matching financial institution partners to potential qualified borrowers, and facilitating the execution of loan agreements between the parties (also referred to as “loan facilitation service”); and b) Providing repayment processing services for the financial institution partners and borrowers over the loan term, including repayment reminders and loan collection (also referred to as “post origination services”). Consistent with the revenue recognition policy under the online lending information intermediary services model, the Group has determined that it is not the legal lender or borrower in the loan origination and repayment process, but acting as an intermediary to bring the lender and the borrower together. Therefore, the Group does not record the loans receivable or payable arising from the loans facilitated between the financial institution partners and borrowers. The Group considers its customers to be both the financial institution partners and borrowers. The Group considers the loan facilitation service and post origination service as two separate performance obligations. The Group determines the total transaction price to be the service fees chargeable from the borrowers or the financial institution partners, which is the contracted price adjusted for variable consideration such as potential loan prepayment by the borrows that could reduce the total transaction price, which is estimated using the expected value approach based on historical data and current trends of prepayments of the borrowers. Then the transaction price is allocated to the loan facilitation services and post origination services using their relative standalone selling prices consistent with the guidance in Topic 606, similar to online lending information intermediary services revenue. For each type of service, the Group recognizes revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies the service/performance obligation by transferring the promised service to customers. Revenues from loan facilitation services are recognized at the time a loan is originated between the financial institution partners and the borrowers and the principal loan balance is transferred to the borrowers, at which time the facilitation service is considered completed. Revenues from post origination services are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the underlying loans as the services are provided ratably on a monthly basis. Since April 2019, the Group has stopped charging service fees directly to the borrowers under its direct lending program. Instead, the Group started to charge service fees either directly to the institutional funding partners, or indirectly through third-party guarantee companies who provide guarantee services, or the insurance company who provided credit insurance to the institutional funding partners on their loans to the borrowers. The Group concluded this change did not alter the substance of the services it provided to borrowers and financial institution partners under the direct lending program, and therefore would not impact how revenue was recognized. In 2019, under a cooperation agreement, as amended (the “Cooperation Agreement”), the Group predominantly partnered with PICC Property and Casualty Company Limited Guangdong Branch (“PICC”) who provided the credit insurance service to institutional funding partners on the loan origination, PICC collected all of the loan facilitation service fees and remitted the Group’s portion of the service fees to the Group. The Group recorded an account receivable for the service fees confirmed and to be remitted by PICC. For more information,refer to Note 20, commitments and contingencies. Sales income Sales income from sales of the Group’s products to end customers directly through the Group’s online stores run on third party e-commerce platforms with a platform service agreement. Under the platform service agreement, the Group sets up online stores on the platforms to sell the Group’s product to end customers. The platforms provide services to support the operations of the online store including processing sales orders and collecting from end customers. The platforms charge the Group service fees based on the Group’s sales through the online stores. The Group enters sale contracts directly with the end customers. The platforms do not take control of the goods and do not include sales contracts with end customers. The Group is responsible for selling and fulfilling all obligations according to its sales contracts with end customers, including delivering products and providing customer support. Accordingly, the Group determined the end customers (as opposed to the platforms) as its customers The sales contracts with end customers normally include a customer’s right to return products within 7 days after receipt of goods. If customers report defects after receipt but are still within the warranty period (varies from 6 months to 24 months), we will have the defective goods repaired, replaced or take another appropriate action to compensate timely,specify the Group should take action in 48 hours. The Group didn’t estimated warranty obligation amount according to the historical experience. The Group identifies its performance obligation the e-commerce platform end customer as to transfer the control of the products ordered to the customers. Contracts with customers may include multiple performance obligations if there is a need to separate one order into multiple deliveries. In those scenarios, transaction prices will be allocated to different performance obligations based on relative standalone selling prices. The Group recognizes revenues from sales income upon delivery of the product to end customers in an amount equal to the contract sales prices less estimated sales allowances for sales returns and sales incentives. Estimated sales allowances for sales returns, rebates, incentives and price protection are made based on contract terms and historical patterns. Subsequently, nil, RMB1 and RMB89 were returned to the Group for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021, respectively. Technical services The Group offers technical services to customers including technology empowerment services, operation and marketing services, customized software development, etc. Technology empowerment services to customers with respect to user acquisition, risk management, consumption scenario perception and comprehension and data modeling.

This assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of recent losses, forecasts of future profitability, the duration of statutory carryforward periods, the Group’s experience with tax attributes expiring unused and tax planning alternatives. The valuation allowance is considered on each individual entity basis. Considering all the above factors, valuation allowances are established for certain entities because the Group believes that it is more likely than not that its net deferred tax assets will not be realized as it does not expect to generate sufficient taxable income in the near future. Uncertainties exist with respect to how the current income tax law in the PRC applies to the Group’s overall operations, and more specifically, with regard to tax residency status. The EIT Law includes a provision specifying that legal entities organized outside of the PRC will be considered residents for Chinese income tax purposes if the place of effective management or control is within the PRC. The implementation rules to the EIT Law provide that non-resident legal entities will be considered PRC residents if substantial and overall management and control over the manufacturing and business operations, personnel, accounting and properties, occurs within the PRC. Despite the present uncertainties resulting from the limited PRC tax guidance on the issue, the Group does not believe that the legal entities organized outside of the PRC within the Group should be treated as residents for EIT law purposes. If the PRC tax authorities subsequently determine that the Group and its subsidiaries registered outside the PRC should be deemed resident enterprises, the Group and its subsidiaries registered outside the PRC will be subject to the PRC income taxes, at a statutory income tax rate of 25%, the Group is not subject to any other uncertain tax position. The EIT regulations (i.e. Caishui [2011] No. 112) specify that legal entities organized in the Xinjiang Kashgar Special Economic Development Area upon meeting certain requirements can qualify for five years exemption on income tax. Uncertainties exist with regard to whether Xinjiang Shuke can meet the requirements stipulated under the current EIT regulations as well as whether the Group’s income allocation to entities in Xinjiang match with their business substance. Despite the present uncertainties resulting from the limited tax implementation guidance for the preferential tax treatment of the above regulation in Xinjiang and the tax authorities’ view on the income allocation, the Group believes that the legal entities in the Xinjiang Kashgar Special Economic Development Area meet the requirements as stipulated by the prevailing EIT laws and regulations and therefore can qualify for the income tax exemption and the current income allocation ratio can be sustained. If the PRC tax authorities subsequently determine that these entities do not qualify for the income tax exemption status or the income allocation ratio is not in compliance with arm’s length principle, these entities will be subject to the PRC income taxes, at a statutory rate of 25%, or a transfer pricing adjustment would be made to increase the profit of other entities (subject to 25% or 15% EIT rate) in the Group, which will in turn increase our tax liability, late payment interest, and penalties of the Group. According to PRC Tax Administration and Collection Law, the statute of limitations is for a period of three years if the underpayment of taxes is due to computational errors made by the taxpayer or withholding agent. The statute of limitations will be extended five years under special circumstances, which are not clearly defined (but an underpayment of tax liability exceeding RMB0.1 million is specifically listed as a special circumstance). In the case of a related party transaction, the statute of limitations is ten years. There is no In accordance with the EIT Law, dividends, which arise from profits of foreign invested enterprises (“FIEs”) earned after January 1, 2008, are subject to a 10% withholding income tax. In addition, under tax treaty between the PRC and Hong Kong, if the foreign investor is incorporated in Hong Kong and qualifies as the beneficial owner, the applicable withholding tax rate is reduced to 5%, if the investor holds at least 25% in the FIE, or 10%, if the investor holds less than 25% in the FIE. A deferred tax liability should be recognized for the undistributed profits of PRC subsidiaries unless the Group has sufficient evidence to demonstrate that the undistributed dividends will be reinvested and the remittance of the dividends will be postponed indefinitely. The Group plans to indefinitely reinvest undistributed profits earned from its China subsidiaries in its operations in the PRC. Therefore, no withholding income taxes for undistributed profits of the Group’s subsidiaries have been provided as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2021. Under applicable accounting principles, a deferred tax liability should be recorded for taxable temporary differences attributable to the excess of financial reporting basis over tax basis in a domestic subsidiary. However, recognition is not required in situations where the tax law provides a means by which the reported amount of that investment can be recovered tax-free and the enterprise expects that it will ultimately use that means. The Group completed its feasibility analysis on a method, which the Group will ultimately execute if necessary to repatriate the undistributed earnings of the VIEs without significant tax costs. As such, the Group does not accrue deferred tax liabilities on the earnings of the VIEs given that the Group will ultimately use the means. |

The Group has determined that it is probable these conditions will be met; as such the share-based compensation is being recognized over the vesting period. The Group calculated the estimated fair value of the share options on the respective grant dates using the binomial option pricing model with the assistance from an independent valuation firm, with the following assumptions used in the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of the share options granted during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021 was RMB38.29 RMB35.88 and RMB8.00, respectively.

(4) Exercise multiples The expected exercise multiple was estimated as the average ratio of the stock price as at the time when employees would decide to voluntarily exercise their vested options. As the Group did not have sufficient information of past employee exercise history, it was estimated by referencing to academic research publications. For key management grantee and non-key management grantee, the exercise multiple was estimated to be 2.8 and 2.2 respectively.

Legal proceedings As disclosed in Note 2, in 2019, the Company partnered with PICC under the direct lending program. In November 2019, PICC stopped paying service fees as agreed in the Cooperation Agreement. PICC further disputed with the Group regarding payments of the service fees under the Cooperation Agreement. The Group has suspended its cooperation with PICC on new loans under its direct lending program since December 2019 and has entered into agreements with other financing guarantee companies in providing guarantee services to the institutional funding partners. In May 2020, the Group commenced a legal proceeding against PICC by submitting a complaint with a local court in Beijing for contract non-performance under the Cooperation Agreement. The Group, together with its legal counsel has determined that PICC has breached its contractual obligation under the Cooperation Agreement for not paying service fees that were due to the Group under the direct lending program. The Group is seeking payments of approximately RMB2.3 billion from PICC to cover the outstanding service fees and related late payment losses. After the Group’s legal action was filed against PICC, PICC filed a civil lawsuit against the Group at a local court in Guangzhou claiming that the second amendment under the Cooperation Agreement is invalid, and therefore PICC is not obligated to pay any outstanding service fees and that a portion of the service fees previously paid to the Group under the Cooperation Agreement plus accrued interest should be refunded to PICC. After several rounds of jurisdictional objections, the case was finally heard by the local court in Beijing in December 2020. Pretrial conferences were hold by the Beijing local court for part of the evidence exchange and cross-examination on May 14 and August 27,2021. As of the date of this report, the Group is still waiting for court hearing by the local court in Beijing. The Group is vigorously asserting its rights against PICC and will defend itself against any claims brought against the Group by PICC in the legal proceeding. The Group obtained a legal opinion from a law firm in Beijing who believes that the Group’s claim should have judicial support. As of the date of this report, the legal matter remains at the preliminary stage, and it is not possible at this stage to ascertain the outcome of the lawsuit. Beginning in September 2020, the Group and certain of our current and former officers, directors and others were named as defendants in various putative securities class actions captioned In re 9F Inc. Securities Litigation, Index No. 654654/2020 (Supreme Court of the State of New York County of New York, Amended Complaint filed Dec. 7, 2020) (the “State Court Action”) and Holland v. 9F Inc. et al., No. 2:21-cv-00948 (United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, filed Jan. 20, 2021) (the “Federal Court Action”). Both actions allege that defendants made misstatements and omissions in connection with the Company’s initial public offering in August 2019 in violation of the federal securities laws. Briefings on the motions to dismiss the State Court Action and the Federal Court Action were completed on April 21,2021 and April 18, 2022 respectively, and decisions on the motions are currently pending. Both cases remain in their preliminary stages. |

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | |
Basis of presentation | Basis of presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). Revenue presentation in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been retrospectively reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. |
Basis of consolidation | Basis of consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, its subsidiaries and consolidated VIEs, including the VIEs’ subsidiaries, for which the Group is the primary beneficiary. All transactions and balances among the Company, its subsidiaries, the VIEs and the VIEs’ subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation. As PRC laws and regulations prohibit and restrict foreign ownership of internet value-added businesses, the Group operates its internet related business in the PRC through two PRC domestic companies, Jiufu Shuke and Beijing Puhui Lianyin Information Technology Limited (“Beijing Puhui”), whose equity interests are held by certain management members and the Founders of the Group. The Group established four wholly-owned foreign invested subsidiaries in the PRC, Beijing Shuzhi Lianyin Technology Co., Ltd (“Shunzhi Lianyin”), Zhuhai Xiaojin Hulian Technology Co., Ltd (“Xiaojin Hulian”), Zhuhai Wukong Youpin Technology Co., Ltd (“Wukong Youpin”), and Qinghai Fuyuan Network Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd (“Qinghai Fuyuan”, together with Shunzhi Lianyin, Xiaojin Hulian, and Wukong Youpin collectively referred as the “WFOEs”). By entering into a series of agreements (the “VIE Agreements”), the Group, through WFOEs, obtained control over Jiufu Shuke and Beijing Puhui (collectively referred as “VIEs”). The VIE Agreements enable the Group to (1) have power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the economic performance of the VIEs, and (2) receive the economic benefits of the VIEs that could be significant to the VIEs. Accordingly, the Group is considered the primary beneficiary of the VIEs and has consolidated the VIEs’ financial results of operations, assets and liabilities in the Group’s consolidated financial statements. In making the conclusion that the Group is the primary beneficiary of the VIEs, the Group’s rights under the Power of Attorney also provide the Group’s abilities to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIEs’ economic performance. The Group also believes that this ability to exercise control ensures that the VIEs will continue to execute and renew the Master Exclusive Service Agreement and pay service fees to the Group. By charging service fees to be determined and adjusted at the sole discretion of the Group, and by ensuring that the Master Exclusive Service Agreement is executed and remains effective, the Group has the rights to receive substantially all of the economic benefits from the VIEs. Details of the VIE Agreements, are set forth below: VIE Agreements that were entered to give the Group effective control over the VIEs include: Voting Rights Proxy Agreement and Irrevocable Power of Attorney Under which each shareholder of the VIEs grant to any person designated by WFOEs to act as its attorney-in-fact to exercise all shareholder rights under PRC law and the relevant articles of association, including but not limited to, appointing directors, supervisors and officers of the VIEs as well as the right to sell, transfer, pledge and dispose all or a portion of the equity interest held by such shareholders of the VIEs. The proxy and power of attorney agreements will remain effective as long as WFOEs exist. The shareholders of the VIEs do not have the right to terminate the proxy agreements or revoke the appointment of the attorney-in-fact without written consent of the WFOEs. Exclusive Option Agreement Under which each shareholder of the VIEs granted 9F or any third party designated by 9F the exclusive and irrevocable right to purchase from such shareholders of the VIEs, to the extent permitted by PRC law and regulations, all or part of their respective equity interests in the VIEs for a purchase price equal to the registered capital. The shareholders of the VIEs will then return the purchase price to 9F or any third party designated by 9F after the option is exercised. 9F may transfer all or part of its option to a third party at its own option. The VIEs and its shareholders agree that without prior written consent of 9F, they may not transfer or otherwise dispose the equity interests or declare any dividends. The restated option agreement will remain effective until 9F or any third party designated by 9F acquires all equity interest of the VIEs. Spousal Consent The spouse of each shareholder of the VIEs has entered into a spousal consent letter to acknowledge that he or she consents to the disposition of the equity interests held by his or her spouse in the VIEs in accordance with the exclusive option agreement, the power of attorney and the equity pledge agreement regarding VIE structure described above, and any other supplemental agreement(s) may be consented by his or her spouse from time to time. Each such spouse further agrees that he or she will not take any action or raise any claim to interfere with the arrangements contemplated under the mentioned agreements. In addition, each such spouse further acknowledges that any right or interest in the equity interests held by his or her spouse in the VIEs do not constitute property jointly owned with his or her spouse and each such spouse unconditionally and irrevocably waives any right or interest in such equity interests. Loan Agreement Pursuant to the loan agreements between WFOEs and each shareholder of the VIEs, WFOEs extended loans to the shareholders of the VIEs, who had contributed the loan principal to the VIEs as registered capital. The shareholders of VIEs may repay the loans only by transferring their respective equity interests in VIEs to 9F Inc. or its designated person(s) pursuant to the exclusive option agreements. These loan agreements will remain effective until the date of full performance by the parties of their respective obligations thereunder. VIE Agreements that enables the Group to receive substantially all of the economic benefits from the VIEs include: Equity Interest Pledge Agreement Pursuant to equity interest pledge agreement, each shareholder of the VIEs has pledged all of his or her equity interest held in the VIEs to WFOEs to secure the performance by VIEs and their shareholders of their respective obligations under the contractual arrangements, including the payments due to WFOEs for services provided. In the event that the VIEs breach any obligations under these agreements, WFOEs as the pledgees, will be entitled to request immediate disposal of the pledged equity interests and have priority to be compensated by the proceeds from the disposal of the pledged equity interests. The shareholders of the VIEs shall not transfer their equity interests or create or permit to be created any pledges without the prior written consent of WFOEs. The equity interest pledge agreement will remain valid until the master exclusive service agreement and the relevant exclusive option agreements and proxy and power of attorney agreements, expire or terminate. Master Exclusive Service Agreement Pursuant to exclusive service agreement, WFOEs have the exclusive right to provide the VIEs with technical support, consulting services and other services. WFOEs shall exclusively own any intellectual property arising from the performance of the agreement. During the term of this agreement, the VIEs may not accept any services covered by this agreement provided by any third party. The VIEs agree to pay service fees to be determined and adjusted at the sole discretion of the WFOEs. The agreement will remain effective unless WFOEs terminate the agreement in writing. |
Risks in relation to the VIE structure | Risks in relation to the VIE structure The Group believes that the contractual arrangements with the VIEs and their current shareholders are in compliance with PRC laws and regulations and are legally enforceable. However, uncertainties in the PRC legal system could limit the Group’s ability to enforce the contractual arrangements. If the legal structure and contractual arrangements were found to be in violation of PRC laws and regulations, the PRC government could: ● Revoke the business and operating licenses of the Group’s PRC subsidiaries or consolidated affiliated entities; ● Discontinue or restrict the operations of any related-party transactions among the Group’s PRC subsidiaries or consolidated affiliated entities; ● Impose fines or other requirements on the Group’s PRC subsidiaries or consolidated affiliated entities; ● Require the Group’s PRC subsidiaries or consolidated affiliated entities to revise the relevant ownership structure or restructure operations; and/or; ● Restrict or prohibit the Group’s use of the proceeds of the additional public offering to finance the Group’s business and operations in China; ● Shut down the Group’s servers or blocking the Group’s online platform; ● Discontinue or place restrictions or onerous conditions on the Group’s operations; and/or ● Require the Group to undergo a costly and disruptive restructuring. The Group’s ability to conduct its business may be negatively affected if the PRC government were to carry out any of the afore mentioned actions. As a result, the Group may not be able to consolidate the VIEs in its consolidated financial statements as it may lose the ability to exert effective control over the VIEs and its shareholders, and it may lose the ability to receive economic benefits from the VIEs. The Group currently does not believe that any penalties imposed or actions taken by the PRC government would result in the liquidation of the Company, WFOEs, or the VIEs. The following table sets forth the assets, liabilities, results of operations and cash flows of the VIEs and their subsidiaries, which are included in the Group’s consolidated financial statements after the elimination of intercompany balances and transactions: As of December 31, As of December 31, 2020 2021 RMB RMB Assets: Cash and cash equivalents 1,501,733 1,436,350 Term deposits 135,000 85,000 Investment in marketable securities — 78,725 Accounts receivable, net 9,888 79,605 Other receivables, net 68,742 34,439 Loan receivables, net 221,200 234,750 Amounts due from related parties — 41,750 Prepaid expenses and other assets 740,959 705,528 Contracts assets, net 10,374 — Long‑term investments, net 491,510 490,314 Operating lease right-of-use assets, net 18,611 10,602 Property, equipment and software, net 51,701 32,593 Goodwill, net 72,304 72,304 Intangible assets, net 40,187 37,386 Total assets 3,362,209 3,339,346 Liabilities: Deferred revenue 81,246 46,175 Payroll and welfare payable 29,152 12,054 Income taxes payable 224,533 255,618 Accrued expenses and other liabilities 238,170 138,144 Operating lease liabilities 19,100 9,700 Amounts due to related parties 24,146 23,967 Deferred tax liabilities 5,742 5,041 Total liabilities 622,089 490,699 For the years ended December 31, 2019 2020 2021 RMB RMB RMB Net revenues 4,305,272 1,145,210 701,329 Net income (loss) (1,551,509) (1,479,883) (154,732) For the years ended December 31, 2019 2020 2021 RMB RMB RMB Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities (439,357) (753,416) 1,014,571 Net cash used in investing activities (1,315,875) (511,832) (51,410) Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities (5,188) — 3,305 Under the VIE Arrangements, the Group has the power to direct activities of the VIEs and can have assets transferred out of the VIEs. Therefore, the Group considers that there is no asset in the VIEs that can be used only to settle obligations of the VIEs, except for assets that correspond to the amount of the registered capital and PRC statutory reserves, if any. As the VIEs are incorporated as limited liability companies under the Company Law of the PRC, creditors of the VIEs do not have recourse to the general credit of the Group for any of the liabilities of the VIEs. Currently there is no contractual arrangement which requires the Group to provide additional financial support to the VIEs. However, as the Group conducts its businesses primarily based on the licenses held by the VIEs, the Group has provided and will continue to provide financial support to the VIEs. Revenue-producing assets held by the VIEs include certain internet content provision (“ICP”) licenses and other licenses, domain names and trademarks. The ICP licenses and other licenses are required under relevant PRC laws, rules and regulations for the operation of internet businesses in the PRC, and therefore are integral to the Group’s operations. The ICP licenses require that core PRC trademark registrations and domain names are held by the VIEs that provide the relevant services. The VIEs contributed an aggregate of 91.18% and 92.10% of the consolidated net revenues for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2021, respectively. The rest of revenue are from Sounth Aisa and HK. As of December 31, 2020 and 2021, the VIE accounted for an aggregate of 62.42% and 66.16%, respectively, of the consolidated total assets, and 53.48% and 57.08%, respectively, of the consolidated total liabilities. The assets that were not associated with the VIE primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents. |
Use of estimates | Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from such estimates. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Group’s financial statements are estimates and judgments applied in revenue recognition, allowance for receivables, impairment loss of investments, share-based compensation and realization of deferred tax assets. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates. |
Revenue recognition | Revenue recognition The Group follows the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers The core principle of Topic 606 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Online Lending Information Intermediary Services revenue Through its online platform, the Group provided intermediary services on the personal financing product, One Card, under which the holders of One Card could apply for loans on a revolving basis (“revolving loan products”). The Group also provided one-time loan facilitation services to meet various consumption needs (“non-revolving loan products”). For revolving loan products and non-revolving loan products, the Group’s services provided consisted of: a) Matching marketplace investors to potential qualified borrowers and facilitating the execution of loan agreements between the parties (referred to as “loan facilitation service”); and b) Providing repayment processing services for the marketplace investors and borrowers over the loan term, including repayment reminders and following up on late repayments (referred to as “post origination services”). The Group has determined that it is not the legal lender or borrower in the loan origination and repayment process, but acting as an intermediary to bring the lender and the borrower together. Therefore, the Group did not record the loans receivable or payable arising from the loans facilitated between the investors and borrowers on its platform. The Group considered its customers to be both the investors and borrowers. The Group considered the loan facilitation services and post origination services as two separate services, which represented two separate performance obligations under Topic 606, as these two deliverables are distinct in that customers could benefit from each service on its own and the Group’s promises to deliver the services are separately identifiable from each other in the contract. The Group determined the total transaction price to be the service fees chargeable from the borrowers and investors. The transaction price was allocated to the loan facilitation services and post origination services using their relative standalone selling prices consistent with the guidance in Topic 606. The Group did not have observable standalone selling price information for the loan facilitation services or post origination services because it did not provide loan facilitation services or post origination services on a standalone basis. There was no direct observable standalone selling price for similar services in the market that was reasonably available to the Group. As a result, the Group used an expected plus margin approach to estimate the standalone selling prices of loan facilitation services and post origination services as the basis of revenue allocation, which involved significant judgements. In estimating its standalone selling price for the loan facilitation services and post origination services, the Group considered the cost incurred to deliver such services, profit margin for similar arrangements, customer demand, effect of competitors on the Group’s services, and other market factors. For each type of service, the Group recognized revenue when (or as) the entity satisfied the service/performance obligation by transferring a promised good or service (that is, an asset) to a customer. Revenues from loan facilitation were recognized at the time a loan was originated between the investor and the borrower and the principal loan balance was transferred to the borrower, at which time the loan facilitation service was considered completed. Revenues from post origination services were recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the underlying loans as the services were provided ratably on a monthly basis. A majority of the service fee was charged to the borrowers, which was collected upfront upon at the loan inception or collected over the loan term. Investors paid service fees to the Group either at the beginning and at the end of the investment commitment period (in terms of automated investing tools) or over the terms of the loan (in terms of self-directing investing tools). In 2019 and 2020, service fees charged at the beginning or at the end of the investment commitment period or over the terms of the loans in the periods presented were calculated to be equal to an annualized interest rate ranging from 0.5% to 1.5% based on the investment amount and the investment term. Service fees charged to borrowers and investors, including the service fees charged to investors collected at the end of the investment commitment period or over the terms of the loans in the periods presented, were combined as contract price to be allocated to the two performance obligations relating to loan facilitation services and post-origination services, and recognized as revenue when the relevant services were delivered. Revenue recognized related to service fees not yet received from investors that will be collected at the end of the investment commitment period and over the commitment period were recorded as accounts receivable. All service fees were fixed and not refundable. Revenue recognized was recorded net of value added tax (“VAT”). Remaining performance obligations represented the amount of the transaction price for which service had not been performed under post-origination services. In December 2020, the Group ceased publishing information relating to new offerings of investment opportunities in fixed income products for investors on its online lending information intermediary platform. Pursuant to certain collaboration arrangements entered into by the Group and a licensed asset management company, the rights of investors in existing loans underlying the fixed income products were transferred to the asset management company. After such transfer, the outstanding balance of loans facilitated became nil and loan facilitation services were nil in 2021, and the asset management company provided the existing investors with services in relation to the return of their remaining investment in loans. Direct lending program revenue Through its direct lending program, the Group provides traffic referral services to financial institution partners, allowing the financial institution partners to gain access to borrowers who passed the Group’s risk assessment. The Group’s services provided consist of: a) Matching financial institution partners to potential qualified borrowers, and facilitating the execution of loan agreements between the parties (also referred to as “loan facilitation service”); and b) Providing repayment processing services for the financial institution partners and borrowers over the loan term, including repayment reminders and loan collection (also referred to as “post origination services”). Consistent with the revenue recognition policy under the online lending information intermediary services model, the Group has determined that it is not the legal lender or borrower in the loan origination and repayment process, but acting as an intermediary to bring the lender and the borrower together. Therefore, the Group does not record the loans receivable or payable arising from the loans facilitated between the financial institution partners and borrowers. The Group considers its customers to be both the financial institution partners and borrowers. The Group considers the loan facilitation service and post origination service as two separate performance obligations. The Group determines the total transaction price to be the service fees chargeable from the borrowers or the financial institution partners, which is the contracted price adjusted for variable consideration such as potential loan prepayment by the borrows that could reduce the total transaction price, which is estimated using the expected value approach based on historical data and current trends of prepayments of the borrowers. Then the transaction price is allocated to the loan facilitation services and post origination services using their relative standalone selling prices consistent with the guidance in Topic 606, similar to online lending information intermediary services revenue. For each type of service, the Group recognizes revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies the service/performance obligation by transferring the promised service to customers. Revenues from loan facilitation services are recognized at the time a loan is originated between the financial institution partners and the borrowers and the principal loan balance is transferred to the borrowers, at which time the facilitation service is considered completed. Revenues from post origination services are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the underlying loans as the services are provided ratably on a monthly basis. Since April 2019, the Group has stopped charging service fees directly to the borrowers under its direct lending program. Instead, the Group started to charge service fees either directly to the institutional funding partners, or indirectly through third-party guarantee companies who provide guarantee services, or the insurance company who provided credit insurance to the institutional funding partners on their loans to the borrowers. The Group concluded this change did not alter the substance of the services it provided to borrowers and financial institution partners under the direct lending program, and therefore would not impact how revenue was recognized. In 2019, under a cooperation agreement, as amended (the “Cooperation Agreement”), the Group predominantly partnered with PICC Property and Casualty Company Limited Guangdong Branch (“PICC”) who provided the credit insurance service to institutional funding partners on the loan origination, PICC collected all of the loan facilitation service fees and remitted the Group’s portion of the service fees to the Group. The Group recorded an account receivable for the service fees confirmed and to be remitted by PICC. For more information,refer to Note 20, commitments and contingencies. Sales income Sales income from sales of the Group’s products to end customers directly through the Group’s online stores run on third party e-commerce platforms with a platform service agreement. Under the platform service agreement, the Group sets up online stores on the platforms to sell the Group’s product to end customers. The platforms provide services to support the operations of the online store including processing sales orders and collecting from end customers. The platforms charge the Group service fees based on the Group’s sales through the online stores. The Group enters sale contracts directly with the end customers. The platforms do not take control of the goods and do not include sales contracts with end customers. The Group is responsible for selling and fulfilling all obligations according to its sales contracts with end customers, including delivering products and providing customer support. Accordingly, the Group determined the end customers (as opposed to the platforms) as its customers The sales contracts with end customers normally include a customer’s right to return products within 7 days after receipt of goods. If customers report defects after receipt but are still within the warranty period (varies from 6 months to 24 months), we will have the defective goods repaired, replaced or take another appropriate action to compensate timely,specify the Group should take action in 48 hours. The Group didn’t estimated warranty obligation amount according to the historical experience. The Group identifies its performance obligation the e-commerce platform end customer as to transfer the control of the products ordered to the customers. Contracts with customers may include multiple performance obligations if there is a need to separate one order into multiple deliveries. In those scenarios, transaction prices will be allocated to different performance obligations based on relative standalone selling prices. The Group recognizes revenues from sales income upon delivery of the product to end customers in an amount equal to the contract sales prices less estimated sales allowances for sales returns and sales incentives. Estimated sales allowances for sales returns, rebates, incentives and price protection are made based on contract terms and historical patterns. Subsequently, nil, RMB1 and RMB89 were returned to the Group for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021, respectively. Technical services The Group offers technical services to customers including technology empowerment services, operation and marketing services, customized software development, etc. Technology empowerment services to customers with respect to user acquisition, risk management, consumption scenario perception and comprehension and data modeling. Technical services generate revenues primarily from fixed-price short-term contracts, revenue generated from technology empowerment services, operation and marketing support services is generally recognized over time on a ratable basis. Revenue generated from technology customized software development is recognized when control over the customized software has been transferred to the customer. Other revenues Other revenues mainly include product sales revenues from wealth management services, customer referral and government subsidy income, etc. Wealth management services generate revenues from Internet Securities Services, Insurance Brokerage Services and Small consumptive business in Southeast Asia. The Group offers convenient and effective global asset allocation services, especially offshore securities investment services and IPO subscription service charge income, to individual investors so as to connect them with Hong Kong and U.S. stock markets. Internet Securities Service generates revenue from commissions through customers’ transactions in stocks by providing brokerage services for its customers. The Group enters into insurance brokerage service contracts with insurance companies with a pre-agreed commission. The commissions is normally calculated as a percentage (which varies depending on the type of insurance products involved) of the premium to the insurance companies from sales facilitated by the group in respect of an insurance product. For insurance brokerage services, the single performance obligation identified is to provide facilitation service to the insurance companies. For each type of wealth management services, the Group recognizes revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies the service/performance obligation by transferring the promised service to customers. The Internet Securities Service is recognized at a point in time on the trade date when the performance obligation is satisfied. The brokerage service commissions are earned when each individual insurance transaction is completed. Value added taxes (“VAT”) The Group is subject to value added tax, or VAT, at a rate of 16% from May 1, 2018 to March 31, 2019 and 13% thereafter on sales of products, and at a rate of 6% on services rendered by the Group, less any deductible VAT the Group has already paid or borne, except for entities qualified as small-scale taxpayers at a VAT rate of 3% without any deduction. Since April 1, 2019, the Group has been subject to an additional 10% deductible VAT. Entities that are VAT general taxpayers are allowed to offset qualified input VAT paid to suppliers against their output VAT liabilities. VAT is reported as a deduction to revenue when incurred and amounted to RMB136,501, and RMB52,697 for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2021, respectively. The net VAT balance between input VAT and output VAT is recorded in the line item of accrued expenses and other liabilities on the face of balance sheet. Disaggregation of revenues The Group generates revenues primarily from loan facilitation and post-origination services provided to investors, borrowers and financial institution partners through its online lending information intermediary services and direct lending program. The Group generates revenues from sales income and technical services provided to the customers. The Group also generates other revenues, such as wealth management services, customer referral and government subsidy income, etc. The following table provides further disaggregation by types of revenues recognized for year ended December 31,2019, 2020 and 2021: Loan Post facilitation origination Sales Technical Other 2019 services services income services revenues Total RMB RMB RMB RMB RMB Online lending platform revenue Online lending information intermediary services revenue Revolving loan products (One Card) 1,698,133 269,718 — — — 1,967,851 Non-revolving loan products 104,611 30,226 — — — 134,837 Direct lending program revenue 1,675,153 304,788 — — — 1,979,941 Other revenue — — 114,192 — 228,142 342,334 Total 3,477,897 604,732 114,192 — 228,142 4,424,963 Loan Post facilitation origination Sales Technical Other 2020 services services income services revenues Total RMB RMB RMB RMB RMB Online lending platform revenue Online lending information intermediary services revenue Revolving loan products (One Card) 26,376 203,748 — — — 230,124 Non‑revolving loan products 84,485 202,097 — — — 286,582 Direct lending program revenue 66,286 453,257 — — — 519,543 Other revenue — — 5,667 38,313 175,776 219,756 Total 177,147 859,102 5,667 38,313 175,776 1,256,005 Loan Post facilitation origination Sales Technical Other 2021 services services income services revenues Total RMB RMB RMB RMB RMB Online lending platform revenue Online lending information intermediary services revenue Revolving loan products (One Card) — 30,604 — — — 30,604 Non‑revolving loan products — — — — — — Direct lending program revenue — 9,178 — — — 9,178 Other revenue — — 202,960 417,566 101,143 721,669 Total — 39,782 202,960 417,566 101,143 761,451 The Group manages its business through a comprehensive offering of financial products and services tailored to the needs of the investors, borrowers and customers. These financial products are categorized by the Group as Online Lending platform revenue, sales income, technical services and others. The following table illustrates the disaggregation of revenues by product offering in 2019, 2020 and 2021: December 31, December 31, December 31, 2019 2020 2021 Loan product revenue 3,590,693 847,576 — Wealth management product revenue 573,355 188,673 39,782 Sales income 114,192 5,667 202,960 Technical services — 38,313 417,566 Others 146,723 175,776 101,143 Total 4,424,963 1,256,005 761,451 Loan products-In 2019, 2020 and 2021, loan products represented product offerings tailored to the needs of the borrowers. Loan product revenues in the above table represented the portion of the service fees that were charged to borrowers through the Group’s online lending information intermediary services, and charged from borrowers with whom the Group has stopped charging service fees since April 2019 or financial institution partners under direct lending program business. Wealth Management products-In 2019, 2020 and 2021, wealth management products represented product offerings tailored to the needs of the individual investors, including fixed income products and other wealth management products such as insurance and stock investment brokerage services, and fund investment products services. Fixed income products were offered to individual investors who desired to invest in loans facilitated through the Group’s online lending information intermediary services. Revenues from wealth management products in the above table were mainly derived from fixed income products and represented the portion of service fees that was charged to investors in the Group’s online lending information intermediary services. Revenues recognized on other wealth management products were immaterial for the periods presented. As the group discontinue the loan facilitation and post origination services as of December 31,2021,the Group fully impairment the contract assets. Deferred Revenue Deferred revenue consists of post origination service fees received from borrowers, investors and financial institution partners for which services have not yet been provided. Deferred revenues is recognized ratably as revenue when the post-origination services are delivered during the loan period. Revenue recognized during the year December 31,2021 that was included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of the year was RMB82,643. In December 2018, China National Internet Finance Rectification Office and the National Online Lending Rectification Office jointly issued the Guidance on the Classification and Disposal of Risks of Online Lending Information Intermediaries and Risk Prevention (“Circular 175”). Circular 175 tightens the regulation of the industry by requiring institutions other than normal intermediaries, including shell intermediaries with no substantive operations, small-scale intermediaries, intermediaries with high risks, and intermediaries that are unable to repay investors or otherwise unable to operate their businesses, to exit the online lending information intermediary industry. In light of the tightening regulatory environment, the Group significantly decreased online lending information intermediary services during the year ended December 31, 2020. The Group launched re-designed investment programs by transferring their creditor’s rights to a licensed asset management company named Ningxia Shunyi Asset Management Co. Ltd (“Ningxia Shunyi”). By opting for the Group’s new investment programs, individual investors authorized our platform to transfer its creditor’s rights to Ningxia Shunyi on their behalf at the individual investors’ option. On August 24,2020, the Group signed the asset management agreement and supplementary agreement with Ningxia Shunyi. According to the agreement, after the completion of the creditor’s rights transfer, Ningxia Shunyi and other third party will provide services, including intermediary or management services. Pursuant to certain arrangement entered into among the Group, Ningxia Shunyi and Xi’an Guoheng Legal Service Co., Ltd. (“Guoheng”), Guoheng, with assistance from other third party entities, provided such services to the Group. Contract assets, net Contract assets are attributable to loan products to borrowers under our online lending platform, the Group is entitled to payment of service fees when repayment of loans is received from the borrowers. Contract assets are recorded under these arrangements when the Group provides the loan facilitation and post origination services but before the payments are due. Contract assets are stated at the historical carrying amount net of write-off and allowance for collectability in accordance with ASC Topic 310. The Group established an allowance for uncollectible contract assets based on estimates, historical experience and other factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers similar to borrowers related to the financial institution partners. The Group evaluates and adjusts its allowance for uncollectible contract assets on a quarterly basis or more often as necessary. Uncollectible contract assets are written off when the Group has determined the balance will not be collected. The Group recognizes contract assets only to the extent that the Group believes it is probable that they will collect substantially all of the consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for the services transferred to the customer. As the group discontinue the loan facilitation and post origination services as of December 31,2021,the Group fully impairment the contract assets. The following table presents the contract assets from loan facilitation services and post origination services: December 31, December 31, 2020 2021 RMB RMB Contract assets from loan facilitation services and post origination services 25,123 18,131 Less: Allowance for loss for collectability (14,749) (18,131) Total 10,374 — The following table presents the movement of allowance for loss for contract assets for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2021: December 31, December 31, 2020 2021 RMB RMB Balance at beginning of the year 2,255 14,749 Provision/(Reversal) for doubtful contract assets 18,605 3,382 Write-offs (6,111) — Balance at end of the year 14,749 18,131 Practical Expedients and Exemptions The Group generally expenses sales commissions when incurred because the amortization period would have been one year or less. These costs are recorded within sales and marketing expenses. |
Quality assurance fund liability | Quality assurance fund liability In order to provide assurance for investors, the Group established an investors’ protection plan. From December 2013 to December 2016, the Group provided an investor protection service which is accounted for as guarantee. Starting from August 25, 2016, the Group cooperated with third party guarantee and insurance companies, who provided investor protection services to replace the former quality assurance fund model, and the Group no longer has any legal obligation to make compensation payments to investors on defaulted loans, and therefore no longer records a quality assurance fund liability in accordance with ASC 405-20, Extinguishments of liabilities. In August 2016, the Group cooperated with Guangdong Nanfeng Guarantee Ltd. (“Nanfeng Guarantee”) and Taiping General Insurance Co., Ltd, (“China Taiping”) to launch an investors’ protection plan to replace the former quality assurance fund model. As part of the agreement with Nanfeng Guarantee and China Taiping, the Group transferred its legal responsibility to guarantee the existing loans (i.e., existing and future defaults) to Nanfeng Guarantee and China Taiping. The Group agreed to pay the balance of the quality assurance fund as of August 25, 2016 of RMB287 million from its own special account to a depository account set up by Nanfeng Guarantee and supervised by China Taiping. For all new loans facilitated, the borrowers paid the quality assurance fund to Nanfeng Guarantee to manage as part of the guarantee fund reserve going forward. A separate insurance policy was entered into by each borrower and the insurance company (i.e., China Taiping), where the insurance company charged an insurance premium to the borrower to cover additional default risks. Nanfeng Guarantee used the quality assurance fund in the depository account to compensate the defaulted loans. China Taiping will not cover the repayment until the balance of the depository account at the depository bank becomes insufficient. As a result, the Group no longer has a legal obligation to make compensation payments to investors for defaults (both incurred and future) related to its existing loan portfolio as well as loans originated subsequent to August 25, 2016. In September 2017, the Group launched an enhanced investors’ protection plan with China Taiping and Nanfeng Guarantee. For loans with terms of 12 months or less, the borrower signed a “Loan Performance Guarantee Insurance Policy” with China Taiping and paid an insurance premium to China Taiping. In the event that default of the insured loan happens, China Taiping will repay the outstanding principal and the interest to the investors. For loans over 12 months, and for loans with terms of 12 months or less but not covered by China Taiping’s insurance protection, the borrower signed a “Confirmation to Participation in Guarantee Plan” and Nanfeng Guarantee provided the guarantee service. The borrowers pay the guarantee fee to Nanfeng Guarantee, which will be deposited in the guarantee fund depository account set up by Nanfeng Guarantee. The Group and Nanfeng Guarantee will determine the guarantee fund rate charged to borrowers based on the credit characteristics of the borrower as well as the underlying loan characteristics. If default of any loan protected by Nanfeng Guarantee happens, Nanfeng Guarantee will withdraw the funds from the guarantee fund reserve account to repay the investor within the fund’s balance as the upper limit. In January 2018, the Group announced new updates to the arrangements regarding loans with terms of more than 12 months. The borrower signs a guarantee contract with Guangdong Success Finance Guarantee Company Limited (“Guangdong Success”). According to the contract, when the borrower defaults and, if the balance of the guarantee fund reserve account is insufficient to cover the unpaid amounts, Guangdong Success will make additional repayment with an upper limit of a cap of five times the guarantee fee paid by the borrower. For loans with the terms of 12 months or less, the borrower pays the insurance premium and signs a “Loan Performance Guarantee Insurance Policy” with either China Taiping or PICC with whom the Group began to collaborate in March 2018. The loans under China Taiping’s insurance protection obligation were all due by August 15, 2019; however, China Taiping’s insurance protection obligation has not been completely fulfilled as of the date of this annual report due to the ongoing insurance claim and settlement process. PICC has provided insurance protection to all the new loans with terms of no more than 12 months that have been originated since May 2018 and covered by the insurance protection plan. Since November 2019, new loans with terms of no more than 12 months are no longer covered by PICC’s investors protection plan. However, as of the date of this annual report, PICC’s insurance protection obligation will continue for loans originated before November 2019 that were subject to PICC’s insurance protection plan. Furthermore, Guangdong Success no longer provides guarantee protection on new loans facilitated after February 2020; however, Guangdong Success’ obligation with respect to loans facilitated before February 2020 has not been completely fulfilled as of the date of this annual report. Since February 2020, the Group began to collaborate with Zhongtian Caizhi Financing Guarantee Co., Ltd. (“Zhongtian Guarantee”), an independent third party. For all the new loans originated since February 2020, borrowers are required to make contributions to the depository account set up by Zhongtian Guarantee. If a loan is past due for a certain period, Zhongtian Guarantee will use the cash available in the depository account to repay the investors up to the total amount of principal and the accrued interests. |
Fair value | Fair value Fair value is the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Group considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. Authoritative literature provides a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The level in the hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement as follows: ● Level 1—inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities traded in active markets. ● Level 2—inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. ● Level 3—inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based valuation techniques that include option pricing models, discounted cash flow models, and similar techniques. The carrying amounts of the Group’s financial instruments approximate their fair values because of their short-term nature. The Group’s financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, notes receivable, amount due from related parties, amount due to related parties, and accrued expenses and other liabilities. |
Cash and cash equivalents | Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents represent cash on hand, demand deposits and highly liquid investments placed with banks or other financial institutions, which have original maturities less than three months. The Group considers all highly liquid investments with stated maturity dates of three months or less from the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. |
Restricted cash | Restricted cash A subsidiary of the Group receives funds from investors for the purpose of buying or selling securities on behalf of its customers. The funds are deposited in a bank account restricted only for the use of purchasing securities on behalf of the investors and the use of the funds within this account are monitored by the bank. Such bank balance represents an asset of the Group for the amounts due to customers for the segregated bank balance held and payable to customers on demand. A corresponding payable to customers is recorded upon receipt of the cash from the customer. As of December 31, 2020 and 2021, the Group had restricted bank deposits of RMB390,702 and RMB295,910, respectively. |
Term deposits | Term deposits Term deposits consist of deposits placed with financial institutions with an original maturity of greater than three months and less than one year. As of December 31, 2020 and 2021, the Group had term deposits of RMB133,761 and RMB83,294, respectively. |
Investment in marketable securities | Investment in marketable securities Investment in marketable securities consist of stocks placed with securities. As of December 31, 2020 and 2021, the Group had investment in marketable securities of nil and RMB169,815, respectively. |
Loans receivables | Loans receivable Loans receivable are measured at amortized cost with interest accrued based on the contract rate. The Group evaluates the credit risk associated with the loans, and estimates the cash flow expected to be collected over the lives of loans on an individual basis based on the Group’s past experiences, the borrowers’ financial position, their financial performance and their ability to continue to generate sufficient cash flows. An allowance for doubtful accounts will be established for the loans with collection issues. Provision for uncollectable loans was recorded in the amount of RMB315,205 and RMB23,979 for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2021, respectively, based on the results of the assessment. |
Inventories, net | Inventories, net Inventories consisting of products available for sales are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value with cost determined using the first-in,first-out cost method. Net realizable value is based on estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable transportation cost. Adjustments are recorded when future estimated net realizable value is less than cost. Write-downs are recorded in cost of revenues in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. Certain costs attributable to buying and receiving products, such as purchase freights, are also included in inventories. As of December 31, 2020 and 2021, the Group had inventories, net of RMB2,398 and RMB1,250 in “Prepaid expenses and other assets” in the balance sheets, respectively. |
Allowance for doubtful accounts | Allowance for doubtful accounts Accounts receivable, other receivables and loan receivables are stated at the historical carrying amount net of write-offs and allowance for doubtful accounts. The Group continuously monitors collections from its borrowers and maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts based on various factors, including aging, historical collection data, specific collection issues that have been identified, borrower concentration, general economic conditions and other factors surrounding the credit risk of specific borrowers. Uncollectible receivables are written off when a settlement is reached for an amount that is less than the outstanding historical balance or when the Group has determined it is probable that the balance will not be collected. The movement of the allowance for doubtful accounts is as follows: Accounts Other Loans receivable receivables receivable Total RMB RMB RMB RMB Balance at December 31, 2019 1,433,449 36,773 615,592 2,085,814 Adoption of new accounting standard — 3,117 8,420 11,537 Provision for doubtful accounts 13,545 — 315,205 328,750 Write-off — (22,494) (609,853) (632,347) Balance at December 31, 2020 1,446,994 17,396 329,364 1,793,754 Provision for doubtful accounts — — 23,979 23,979 Reversal (2,994) (3,026) (2,918) (8,938) Write-off — (14,279) (320,944) (335,223) Balance at December 31, 2021 1,444,000 91 29,481 1,473,572 Refer to Note 4 Loan Receivables for further information on allowance for loan receivables and Note 5 Prepaid expenses and other assets for further information on allowance forprepaid expenses and other assets. |
Business Combinations | Business Combinations The Group accounts for its business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC topic 805 (“ASC 805”), Business Combinations The determination and allocation of fair values to the identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed and non-controlling interests is based on various assumptions and valuation methodologies requiring considerable judgment from management. The most significant variables in these valuations are discount rates, terminal values, the number of years on which to base the cash flow projections, as well as the assumptions and estimates used to determine the cash inflows and outflows. The Group determines discount rates to be used based on the risk inherent in the related activity’s current business model and industry comparisons. Terminal values are based on the expected life of assets, forecasted life cycle and forecasted cash flows over that period. |
Long-term investments | Long-term investments The Group’s long-term investments consist of equity securities without readily determinable fair values, equity method investments, held-to-maturity and available-for-sale investment. a. Equity securities without readily determinable fair value Historically, for investee companies over which the Group did not have significant influence and a controlling financial interest, the Group accounts for these as cost method investments under ASC 325-20. In January, 2018, the Group adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-01, Financial Instruments—Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities b. Equity method investments Investee companies over which the Group has the ability to exercise significant influence, but does not have a controlling interest, are accounted for using the equity method. Significant influence is generally considered to exist when the Group has an ownership interest in the voting stock of the investee between 20% and 50%. Other factors, such as representation on the investee’s board of directors, voting rights and the impact of commercial arrangements, are also considered in determining whether the equity method of accounting is appropriate. Under the equity method of accounting, the Group’s share of the earnings or losses of the investee company, impairments, and other adjustments required by the equity method are reflected in “loss in equity method investments, net” in the consolidated statements of operations. An impairment charge is recorded if the carrying amount of the investment exceeds its fair value and this condition is determined to be other than temporary. The Group estimates the fair value of the investee company based on comparable quoted price for similar investment in active market, if applicable, or a discounted cash flow approach which requires significant judgments, including the estimate of future cash flows, which is dependent on internal forecasts, the estimate of long term growth rate of a company’s business, the estimate of the useful life over which cash flows will occur, and the determination of the weighted average cost of capital. The impairment losses on its equity method investment are RMB22,830, RMB179,193 and RMB4,229 during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021, respectively.. c. Held-to-maturity and available-for-sale investments Investments are classified as held-to-maturity when the Group has the positive intent and ability to hold the debt security to maturity, and are recorded at amortized cost. As of December 31, 2020 and 2021, the balances of held-to-maturity securities were RMB33,079 and RMB38,000, respectively. For investments in investees’ stocks which are determined to be debt securities, the Group accounts for it as long-term available-for-sale investments when they are not classified as either trading or held-to-maturity investments. The available-for-sale investments are carried at its fair values and the unrealized gains or losses from the changes in fair values are included in accumulated other comprehensive income. The Group reviews its investment for other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) based on the specific identification method. The Group considers available quantitative and qualitative evidence in evaluating potential impairment of its investments. If the cost of an investment exceeds the investment’s fair value, the Group considers, among other factors, general market conditions, government economic plans, the duration and the extent to which the fair value of the investment is less than the cost, the Group’s intent and ability to hold the investment, and the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuers. If there is OTTI on debt securities, the Group separates the amount of the OTTI into the amount that is credit related (credit loss component) and the amount due to all other factors. The credit loss component is recognized in earnings, which represents the difference between a security’s amortized cost basis and the discounted present value of expected future cash flows. The amount due to other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income if the entity neither intends to sell and will not more likely than not be required to sell the security before recovery. The difference between the amortized cost basis and the cash flows expected to be collected is accreted as interest income. The Group recorded impairment losses (reverse) on its held-to-maturity and available for sale investments during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021 of nil, RMB1,221 and RMB(676), respectively. |
Goodwill | Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of acquired businesses over the estimated fair value assigned to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is not depreciated or amortized but is tested for impairment on an annual basis as of December 31, and in between annual tests when an event occurs or circumstances change that could indicate that the asset might be impaired. Application of goodwill impairment test requires management judgement, including the identification of reporting units, assigning assets and liabilities to reporting units, assigning goodwill to reporting units, and determining the fair value to each reporting unit. The judgment in estimating the fair value of reporting units includes estimating future cash flows, determining appropriate discount rates and making other assumptions. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value for each reporting unit. Starting from January 1, 2019, the Group early adopted ASU 2017-04. A reporting unit is identified as a component for which discrete financial information is available and is regularly reviewed by management. The impairment test is performed as of year-end or if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying value. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill is not impaired and no further testing is required. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying value, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Based on the Group’s impairment assessment, the Group recorded goodwill impairment of RMB6,191, RMB50,291 and nil |

Leases | Leases From January 1, 2019, the Group adopted the new lease accounting standard, ASC Topic 842, Leases The Group leases certain office premises in different cities in the PRC and overseas under operating leases. The Group determines whether an arrangement constitutes a lease and records lease liabilities and right-of-use assets on its consolidated balance sheets at the lease commencement. The Group measures its lease liabilities based on the present value of the total lease payments not yet paid discounted based on the more readily determinable of the rate implicit in the lease or its incremental borrowing rate, which is the estimated rate the Group would be required to pay for a collateralized borrowing equal to the total lease payments over the term of the lease. The Group estimates its incremental borrowing rate based on an analysis of corporate debt of companies with credit and financial profiles similar to its own. The Group measures right-of-use assets based on the corresponding lease liability adjusted for payments made to the lessor at or before the commencement date, and initial direct costs it incurs under the lease. The Group begins recognizing rent expense when the lessor makes the underlying asset available for use by the Group. The Group’s leases have remaining lease terms of up to three years, some of which include options to extend the leases for an additional period which has to be agreed with the lessors based on mutual negotiation. After considering the factors that create an economic incentive, the Group did not include renewal option periods in the lease term for which it is not reasonably certain to exercise. For short-term leases of 12 months or less, the Group records rent expense in its consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term. |
Income taxes | Income taxes Current income taxes are provided on the basis of net profit (loss) for financial reporting purposes, adjusted for income and expenses which are not assessable or deductible for income tax purposes, in accordance with the laws of the relevant tax jurisdictions. Deferred income taxes are provided using asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined on the basis of the differences between financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are also provided for net operating loss carryforwards. Net deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, management consider all positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of projected future taxable income and results of recent operations. Net deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more-likely-than-not that a portion of or all of the net deferred tax asset will not be realized. In order to assess uncertain tax positions, the Group applies a more likely than not threshold and a two-step approach for the tax position measurement and financial statement recognition. Under the two-step approach, the first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement. The Group recognizes interest and penalties, if any, under accrued expenses and other current liabilities on its consolidated balance sheet and under other expenses in its consolidated statements of operation and comprehensive income (loss). The Group did not have any significant unrecognized uncertain tax positions as of and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2021. |
Share-based compensation | Share-based compensation Share-based payment transactions with employees and managements, such as share options, are measured based on the grant date fair value of the equity instrument. The Group has elected to recognize compensation expenses using the straight-line method for all employee equity awards granted with graded vesting provided that the amount of compensation cost recognized at any date is at least equal to the portion of the grant-date value of the options that are vested at that date, over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the vesting period of the award. Compensation expenses for awards with performance conditions is recognized when it is probable that the performance condition will be achieved. The Group elects to recognize forfeitures when they occur. |
Net income (loss) per ordinary share | Net income (loss) per ordinary share Basic net income (loss) per ordinary share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per ordinary share reflects the potential dilution that would occur if securities were exercised or converted into ordinary shares. The Group has share options which could potentially dilute basic net income per ordinary share in the future. Diluted net income per ordinary share is computed using the two-class method or the as-if-converted method, whichever is more dilutive. When the Group has a loss, the dilutive effect of these securities is not included as they would be anti-dilutive. |

Refer to Note 2 Details of the VIE for concentrations in the geographic area. There are RMB141 million and RMB102 million from customer A and customer B individually represented greater than 10% of the total net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2021.
