Overview

 

Historically, we generated our net revenues primarily through our and the VIEs’ offline events. Our net loss was RMB40.7 million and RMB0.7 million (US$0.1 million) in the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2025, respectively. Our adjusted EBITDA was a loss of RMB27.2 million and a loss of RMB33.8 million (US$4.7 million) in the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2025, respectively. We recorded adjusted net loss of RMB26.8 million and RMB33.0 million (US$4.6 million) in the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2025, respectively. For a detailed description of our non-GAAP measures, see “—Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

To supplement our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements which are presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we also use adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net loss as additional non-GAAP financial measures. We present these non-GAAP financial measures because they are used by our management to evaluate our operating performance. We also believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our unaudited consolidated results of operations in the same manner as our management and in comparing financial results across accounting periods and to those of our peer companies.

 

We define adjusted EBITDA as net loss excluding depreciation and amortization, interest income, net, share-based compensation expenses, impairment of long-lived assets and change in fair value of warrant liability. We define adjusted net loss as net loss excluding share-based compensation expenses, impairment of long-lived assets and change in fair value of warrant liability. We believe that adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net loss provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results. These non-GAAP financial measures adjust for the impact of items that we do not consider indicative of the operational performance of our business and should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to net loss or any other measure of performance or as an indicator of our operating performance. Investors are encouraged to compare the historical non-GAAP financial measures with the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net loss presented here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate similarly titled measures differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures to our data. We encourage investors and others to review our financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our principal sources of liquidity have been cash generated from operations, proceeds from our initial public offering and loans from banks.

 

As of June 30, 2025, we had RMB1.1 million (US$0.2 million) in cash and cash equivalents and RMB4.0 million (US$0.6 million) in restricted cash. As of the same date, we held a cash balance of RMB4.1 million (US$0.6 million) denominated in RMB, representing 81.3% of our total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash.

 

We have incurred recurring operating losses since our inception, including net losses of RMB40.7 million and RMB0.7 million (US$0.1 million) in the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2025, respectively. Net cash used in operating activities was RMB11.1 million and RMB169.5 million (US$23.7 million) in the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2025, respectively. Accumulated deficit was RMB1,421.8 million (US$198.5 million) as of June 30, 2025. As of June 30, 2025, we had a net current asset of RMB65.0 million (US$9.1 million). The company's business encountered some difficulties, including weak economic growth of China and resignation of staffs, which negatively impacted the Group’s business operations for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and has continued to impact the Group’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Historically, we have relied principally on cash from operating activities, non-operational sources of financing from investors to fund our operations and business development. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our management’s ability to successfully execute the business plan which includes strictly implementing the expenses, accelerating the collection of accounts receivable and increasing the proportion of advance from customers, pursuing potential financing to improve our cash flow from operating and financing activities. Based on cash flow projections from operating and financing activities, our current balance of cash and cash equivalents on our operations, our management believes that our current cash and cash equivalents and anticipated cash flow from operations upon successful execution of our business plans will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs from operations and other commitments for at least the next 12 months from the date of this interim report. However, there is no assurance that the plans will be successfully implemented. Failure to successfully implement the plan will have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial position, and may materially and adversely affect our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

We have not yet achieved a business scale that is able to generate a sufficient level of revenues to achieve net profit and positive cash flows from operating activities, and we expect the operating losses and negative cash flows from operations will continue for the foreseeable future. While we believe that our current cash and cash equivalents and other current assets are sufficient to meet the cash requirements to fund planned operations and other commitments for at least the next 12 months from the date of this interim report, if we fail to grow our business in a way that generates sufficient returns, we may need additional financing to execute our business plans. If additional financing is required, we cannot predict whether this additional financing will be in the form of equity, debt, or another form, and we may not be able to obtain the necessary additional capital on a timely basis, on acceptable terms, or at all. If financing sources are not available, or if we are unsuccessful in increasing our gross profit margin and reducing operating losses, we may be unable to implement our current plans for expansion, repay debt obligations or compete with other market participants effectively, any of which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and would materially and adversely affect our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of uncertainties described above.
