NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

(All amounts in thousands, except for share and per share data, unless otherwise noted)

1.	PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES AND ORGANIZATION

(a)	Principal activities

KANZHUN LIMITED (“Kanzhun” or the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands on January 16, 2014 as an exempted company with limited liability. The Company, its subsidiaries, consolidated variable interest entity (the “VIE”) and VIE’s subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group”) run an online recruitment platform called “BOSS Zhipin” in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”).

The BOSS Zhipin platform mainly focuses on assisting the recruitment process between job seekers and employers. Through BOSS Zhipin platform, employers, mainly executives or middle-level managers of enterprises, could participate directly in the recruiting process.

(b)	Organization of the Group

As of June 30, 2022, the Company’s principal subsidiaries and consolidated VIE are as follows:


			Attributable
	Place of	Date of	equity interest of
Name of subsidiaries	incorporation	incorporation	the Group	Principal activities

Techfish Limited	Hong Kong, China	February 14, 2014	100%	Investment holding in Hong Kong
Beijing Glory Wolf Co., Ltd. (“Glory”, or the “WFOE”)	Beijing, China	May 7, 2014	100%	Management consultancy and technical services in the PRC

	Place of	Date of	Economic
Name of VIE	incorporation	incorporation	interest held	Principal activities

Beijing Huapin Borui Network Technology Co., Ltd. (“Huapin”)	Beijing, China	December 25, 2013	100%	Online recruitment service in the PRC

(c)	Consolidated variable interest entity

In order to comply with the PRC laws and regulations which prohibit or restrict foreign investments into companies involved in restricted businesses, the Group operates its Apps, websites and other restricted businesses in the PRC through a PRC domestic company and its subsidiaries, whose equity interests are held by certain management members of the Company (“Registered Shareholders”). The Company entered into a series of contractual arrangements, which was updated in September 2022, with such PRC domestic company and its respective Registered Shareholders, which enables the Company to have the power to direct activities of the VIE that most significantly affect the economic performance of the VIE and receive substantially all of the economic benefits from the VIE that could be significant to the VIE. Accordingly, the Company is determined to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE for accounting purposes under U.S. GAAP and therefore the Group consolidates the VIE’s results of operations, assets and liabilities in the Group’s consolidated financial statements for all the periods presented. The principal terms of the agreements entered amongst the VIE, the Registered Shareholders and the WFOE are further described below.

1.	PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES AND ORGANIZATION (CONTINUED)

(c)	Consolidated variable interest entity (continued)

Exclusive technology and service co-operation agreement

Pursuant to the exclusive technology and service co-operation agreement, the VIE has agreed to engage the WFOE as the exclusive provider of technical consultancy, technical support and other services as agreed. The VIE shall pay service fees to the WFOE, which shall be equivalent to the total consolidated profit of the VIE and its subsidiaries, after offsetting the prior-year accumulated loss (if any), operating cost and expenses, taxes and other statutory contributions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the WFOE shall have the right to adjust the level of the service fees by taking into account such factors as (a) the complexity and difficulty of the services, (b) the time taken for the services, (c) the scope and commercial value of the management, technical consulting and other services, (d) the scope and commercial value of intellectual property licensing and leasing services, and (e) the market reference price for services of similar kinds. The VIE shall pay the service fees to the WFOE within 30 days after the delivering of payment instructions by the WFOE.

The exclusive technology and service co-operation agreement shall remain effective until, among others, the date on which the WFOE or its designated party is formally registered as the shareholder of the VIE, in the case where the WFOE is permitted by the PRC laws to directly hold the VIE’s shares and the WFOE and its subsidiaries and branches are allowed to engage in the business being currently operated by the VIE.

Exclusive purchase option agreement

Pursuant to the exclusive purchase option agreement, the Registered Shareholders of the VIE have granted the WFOE, or its offshore parent company or its directly or indirectly owned subsidiaries, the exclusive and irrevocable right to purchase all or any part of the respective equity interests in the VIE from the Registered Shareholders at any time. The VIE and the Registered Shareholders irrevocably covenanted that unless with prior written consent by the WFOE, the VIE shall not sell, transfer, pledge, or otherwise dispose all or any part of its assets, and the Registered Shareholders shall not sell, transfer, pledge, or otherwise dispose all or any part of their equity interest in the VIE, other than the creation of the pledge of the VIE’s equity interest pursuant to the contractual arrangements. The purchase price payable by the WFOE or its designee in respect of the transfer of the entire equity interest and/or total assets of the VIE shall be the nominal price, or the minimum price required by competent PRC authorities or PRC laws. However, in any event, subject to the provisions and requirements of PRC laws, the price paid by the WFOE and/or its designee to the VIE and/or Registered Shareholders at any such price shall be returned by the VIE and/or Registered Shareholders to the WFOE at the time and in the form requested by the WFOE.

The exclusive purchase option agreement shall remain effective for ten years with the WFOE having the option to renew it until, among others, all the equity interest in and/or all assets of the VIE has been transferred to the WFOE and/or its designee (registration has been completed for the change of members), and the WFOE and its subsidiaries and branches can legally engage in the business of the VIE.

Equity pledge agreement

Pursuant to the equity pledge agreement, the Registered Shareholders of the VIE have pledged 100% equity interests in the VIE to the WFOE to guarantee performance of their contractual obligations under the contractual arrangements and all liabilities, monetary debts or other payment obligations arising out of or in relation with the contractual arrangements. In the event of a breach by the VIE or any of its Registered Shareholders of contractual obligations under the exclusive technology and service co-operation agreement, and the equity pledge agreement, as the case may be, the WFOE, as pledgee, will have the right to (1) demand all the outstanding payment due according to the exclusive technology and service co-operation agreement, and/or (2) exercise its right of pledge according to the equity pledge agreement, or otherwise dispose of the pledged equity interest in accordance with applicable Laws.

The equity pledge agreement shall remain valid until, among others, the VIE and the Registered Shareholders have recorded the release of such pledged equity interests in the register of members of the VIE and completed relevant deregistration procedure.

Spousal consent letter

Pursuant to the spousal consent letter, the spouse of each Registered Shareholder who is a natural person, unconditionally and irrevocably agreed that the equity interests in the VIE held by such Registered Shareholder will be disposed of pursuant to the equity pledge agreement, the exclusive purchase option agreement and the power of attorney (as the case may be). Each of their spouses agreed not to assert any rights over the equity interests in the VIE held by such Registered Shareholder. In addition, in the event that any spouse obtains any equity interests in VIE held by such Registered Shareholder for any reason, he or she agreed to be bound by the equity pledge agreement, the exclusive purchase option agreement and the power of attorney.

Power of attorney

Pursuant to the power of attorney, each of the Registered Shareholders appointed the WFOE and/or its designee as their sole and exclusive agent to act on their behalf, including but not limited to (1) to propose, convene and attend shareholders meetings and sign minutes and resolutions, (2) to exercise all shareholder rights that they are entitled to under PRC law and the relevant articles of association, including but not limited to, the right to vote and the right to sell, transfer, pledge or disposal of all or part of the equity interests owned by such shareholders; and (3) to elect, designate and appoint the legal representative, chairman, directors, supervisors, general manager and other senior executives of the VIE.

Under the contractual arrangements with the VIE, the Company has the power to direct activities of the VIE through the WFOE that most significantly impact the VIE such as having assets transferred out of the VIE at its discretion. Therefore, the Company considers that there is no asset of the VIE that can be used to settle obligations of the VIE except for registered capital and PRC statutory reserves of the VIE amounting to RMB9,002 and RMB9,002 as of December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2022, respectively. Since the VIE was incorporated as a limited liability company under the PRC Company Law, the creditors do not have recourse to the general credit of the WFOE for all the liabilities of the VIE.

The Group believes that the contractual arrangements between or among the WFOE, VIE and the Registered Shareholders are following PRC laws and regulations, as applicable. However, uncertainties in the PRC legal system could limit the Company’s ability to enforce these contractual arrangements. On March 15, 2019, the PRC Foreign Investment Law was approved and took effect from January 1, 2020. Since the PRC Foreign Investment Law is relatively new, there are substantial uncertainties exist with respect to its implementation and interpretation and the possibility that the VIE will be deemed as a foreign-invested enterprise and subject to relevant restrictions in the future shall not be excluded. If the contractual arrangements establishing the Company’s VIE structure are found to be in violation of any existing law and regulations or future PRC laws and regulations, the relevant PRC government authorities will have broad discretion in dealing with such violation, including, without limitation, levying fines, confiscating the Group’s income or the income from the VIE, revoking the Group’s business licenses or the business licenses, requiring the Group to restructure its ownership structure or operations and requiring the Group to discontinue any portion or all of the Group’s value-added businesses or other prohibited businesses. Any of these actions could cause significant disruption to the Company’s business operations and have a severe adverse impact on the Company’s cash flows, financial position and operating performance. If the imposing of these penalties causes the WFOE to lose its rights to direct the activities of and receive economic benefits from the VIE, which in turn may restrict the Company’s ability to consolidate and reflect in its financial statements the financial position and results of operations of its VIE.

(e)	COVID-19 impact and liquidity

The Group’s financial performance was impacted by the COVID-19 although the pandemic had been largely contained in China. However, based on the assessment on the Group’s liquidity and financial positions, the Group believes that its current cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to enable it to meet its anticipated working capital requirements and capital expenditures for at least the next twelve months from the date these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.

2.	PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

2.1	Basis of presentation

Significant accounting policies followed by the Group in the preparation of its accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are summarized below.

2.2	Basis of consolidation

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, its subsidiaries, the consolidated VIE and VIE’s subsidiaries for which the Company is the ultimate primary beneficiary.

A subsidiary is an entity in which the Company, directly or indirectly, controls more than one half of the voting power, has the power to appoint or remove the majority of the members of the board of directors, to cast a majority of votes at the meeting of the board of directors or to govern the financial and operating policies of the investee under a statute or agreement among the shareholders or equity holders.

The Company applies the guidance codified in ASC 810, Consolidations on accounting for the VIE, which requires certain variable interest entities to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity in which it has a controlling financial interest. A VIE is an entity with one or more of the following characteristics: (a) the total equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional financial support; (b) as a group, the holders of the equity investment at risk lack the ability to make certain decisions, the obligation to absorb expected losses or the right to receive expected residual returns; or (c) an equity investor has voting rights that are disproportionate to its economic interest and substantially all of the entity’s activities are on behalf of the investor with disproportionately fewer voting rights.

All transactions and balances between the Company, its subsidiaries, the consolidated VIE and VIE’s subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation.

2.3	Use of estimates

The preparation of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date, and the reported revenues and expenses during the reporting periods in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Accounting estimates reflected in the Group’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include but are not limited to the useful lives of property, equipment and software, impairment of long-lived assets, valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, valuation of ordinary shares and share-based compensation. Management bases the estimates on historical experience, known trends and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under current circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2.4	Foreign currency

The Group’s reporting currency is RMB. The functional currency of the Company and subsidiaries incorporated in Hong Kong and United States of America, is the United States dollars (“US$”). The functional currency of the Group’s PRC subsidiaries, consolidated VIE and VIE’s subsidiaries is RMB. The determination of the respective functional currency is based on the criteria of ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters.

2.	PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

2.4	Foreign currency (continued)

Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency of the entity at the exchange rates quoted by authoritative banks prevailing on the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. Exchange gain or loss resulting from those foreign currency transactions denominated in foreign currencies is recorded in the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive (Loss)/Income.

The financial statements of the Company and subsidiaries located outside of the PRC are translated from their functional currency into RMB. Their assets and liabilities are translated into RMB using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet date. Equity accounts other than earnings generated in current period are translated into RMB at the appropriate historical rates. Revenues, expenses, gain and loss are translated into RMB using the periodic average exchange rates. The resulting foreign currency translation adjustments are recorded in other comprehensive income in the consolidated financial statements.

2.5	Fair value measurement

Accounting guidance defines fair value as 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 measurement 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.

Accounting guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Accounting guidance establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 — Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 — Include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.

Accounting guidance also describes three main approaches to measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities: (1) market approach; (2) income approach and (3) cost approach. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated from market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present value amount and the measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. The cost approach is based on the amount that would currently be required to replace an asset.

Financial assets and liabilities of the Group mainly consist of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivables, amounts due from related parties, prepayments and other current assets, accounts payable, certain accrued expenses and other current liabilities. Except for short-term investments, the carrying values of other financial assets and liabilities approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. The Group reports short-term investments at fair value based on Level 2 measurement.

2.6	Cash and cash equivalents

Cash includes cash on hand and deposits held by financial institutions that can be added to or withdrawn without limitation or restriction. Cash equivalents represent short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and with original maturities of three months or less.

2.	PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

2.7	Short-term investments

Short-term investments are wealth management products issued by commercial banks or other financial institutions, which contains fixed or variable interest with original maturities within one year. These investments are stated at fair value. Changes in the fair value are reflected in investment income in the Consolidation Statements of Comprehensive (Loss)/Income.

2.8	Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable are presented net of allowance for doubtful accounts (if any). The Group provides general and specific provisions for bad debts when facts and circumstances indicate that the receivables are unlikely to be collected. If the financial condition of its customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required. No allowance for doubtful accounts was recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2022.

2.9	Property, equipment and software

Property, equipment and software are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment, if any. Property, equipment and software are depreciated at rates sufficient to write off their cost less impairment and residual value, if any, over the estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis. The estimated useful lives are as follows:


Category		Estimated useful lives
Electronic equipment		3-5 years
Leasehold improvement		Shorter of lease term or estimated useful life of the assets
Furniture and fixtures		5 years
Motor vehicles		3-5 years
Software		5 years

The majority of electronic equipment includes servers. The Group recognized the gain or loss on the disposal of property, equipment and software in the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive (Loss)/Income.

2.10	Intangible assets

Intangible assets purchased are recognized and measured at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment, if any. Intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives as below:


Category		Estimated useful lives
Domains		10 years

The estimated useful lives of domains are the periods over which they are expected to be available for use by the Group, which are mainly determined based on the periods of effective registration of the domains.

2.	PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

2.11	Impairment of long-lived assets

Long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances (such as a significant adverse change to market conditions that will impact the future use of the assets) indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be fully recoverable or that the useful life is shorter than that the Group had originally estimated. When these events occur, the Group evaluates the impairment for the long-lived assets by comparing the carrying value of the assets to an estimate of future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected future undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value of the asset, the Group recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying value of the asset over the fair value of the asset. No impairment of long-lived assets was recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2022.

2.12	Revenue recognition

The Group accounted for revenue under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and all periods have been presented under ASC 606. Consistent with the criteria of ASC 606, the Group recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to receive in exchange for those services.

To achieve that core principle, the Group applies the five steps defined under ASC 606: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied.

According to ASC 606, revenue is recognized net of value-added tax (“VAT”) when or as the control of services is transferred to a customer. Depending on the terms of the contract, control of services may be transferred over time or at a point in time. Control of services is transferred over time if the Group: (i) provides all of the benefits received and consumed simultaneously by the customer; (ii) creates and enhances an asset that the customer controls as the Group performs; or (iii) does not create an asset with an alternative use to the Group and the Group has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date. If control of services is transferred over time, revenue is recognized over the period of the contract by reference to the progress towards complete satisfaction of that performance obligation. Otherwise, revenue is recognized at a point in time when the customer obtains control of the services.

Online recruitment services to enterprise customers

The Group provides online recruitment services carrying different kinds of features to enterprise customers, including direct recruitment services such as job postings, and value-added tools such as bulk invite sending, which could be purchased as a part of subscription packages or on a standalone basis.

Based on the pattern by which the Group provides services and how enterprise customers benefit from services, these services can be divided into two categories in terms of revenue recognition: (i) services over a particular subscription period, which provide enterprise customers certain rights during a particular subscription period; for example, paid job postings allow enterprise customers to present certain job positions, receive job seeker recommendations, browse the mini-resume of and chat with a certain number of job seekers in its platform during the subscription period; and (ii) services with definite and limited number of usages within an expiration period, such as bulk invite sending and advanced filer. Accordingly, the Group recognizes its revenues from online recruitment services either over time or at a point in time as following:

●

For services over a particular subscription period, the Group has a stand-ready obligation to deliver the corresponding services on a when-and-if-available basis during the subscription period and enterprise customers simultaneously and continuously receive and consume the benefits as the Group provides the services throughout the subscription period. Therefore, a time-based measure of progress best reflects the satisfaction of the performance obligations and the Group recognizes revenues on a straight-line basis over the subscription period. Revenues recognized over time for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2022 were RMB1,338,480 and RMB1,647,892, respectively.

2.12 Revenue recognition (continued)

●

For services with definite and limited number of usages within an expiration period, upon the delivery of the individual services, the Group satisfies its performance obligations and enterprise customers benefit from its performance obligations, and therefore revenues are recognized at a point in time; and if these services are unused within the expiration period, the Group recognizes the relevant revenues when they expire. Revenues recognized at a point in time for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2022 were RMB601,439 and RMB579,292, respectively.

Other services

Other services mainly represent paid value-added tools offered to job seekers such as increased exposure of resume and candidate competitive analysis.

The Group defines enterprise customers who contributed revenue of RMB50 or more annually as key accounts, who contributed revenue between RMB5 and RMB50 annually as mid-sized accounts, and who contributed revenue of RMB5 or less annually as small-sized accounts.


	For the six months ended June 30,
	2021	2022
	RMB	RMB
Online recruitment services to enterprise customers
– Key accounts	362,763	517,925
– Mid-sized accounts	633,685	910,848
– Small-sized accounts	943,471	798,411
Others	16,798	23,040
Total	1,956,717	2,250,224

Arrangements with multiple performance obligations

Multiple performance obligations exist when enterprise customers purchase subscription packages which include an array of services. For those services included in subscription packages, the selling prices are consistently made references to the standalone selling prices when sold separately. The Group allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation based on the relative standalone selling price, considering bulk-sale price discounts offered to certain enterprise customers where applicable.

Deferred revenue

The Group records deferred revenue when the Group receives customers’ payments in advance of transferring control of services to customers. Substantially all deferred revenue recorded are expected to be recognized as revenues in the next twelve months.

Remaining performance obligations

Remaining performance obligations represent the amount of contracted future revenues not yet recognized as the amount relate to undelivered performance obligations. Substantially all of the Group’s contracts with customers are within one year in duration. As such, the Group has elected to apply the practical expedient which allows an entity to exclude disclosures about its remaining performance obligations if the performance obligation is part of a contract that has an original expected duration of one year or less.

2.13 Cost of revenues

Cost of revenues consist primarily of settlement cost of third-party on-line payment platforms, payroll and other employee-related expenses, server and bandwidth service cost, server depreciation and other expenses incurred by the Group which are directly attributable to the performance of the Group’s online recruitment services.

2.14	Sales and marketing expenses

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of advertising expenses, payroll and other employee- related expenses for the Group’s sales and marketing staff as well as other expenses such as office rental and property management fees for sales functions. Advertising expenses generally represent online traffic acquisition and branding activities cost. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2022, advertising expenses totaled RMB723,724 and RMB348,594, respectively.

2.15 Research and development expenses

Research and development expenses primarily consist of payroll and other employee-related expenses and other expenses such as office rental and property management fees for research and development functions. All research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

2.16 General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of payroll and other employee-related expenses for the Group’s managerial and administrative staff and other expenses such as office rental and property management fees.

2.17	Employee benefits

Full time employees of the Group in the PRC participate in a government mandated defined contribution plan, pursuant to which certain pension benefits, medical care, employee housing fund and other welfare benefits are provided to the employees. Chinese labor regulations require that the PRC subsidiaries, VIE and VIE’s subsidiaries of the Group make contributions to the government for these benefits based on certain percentages of the employees’ salaries, up to a maximum amount specified by the local government. The Group has no legal obligation for the benefits beyond the contributions made. Total amounts of such employee benefit expenses contributed by the Group, including accrued and unpaid amounts, were RMB109,040 and RMB171,116 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2022, respectively.

2.18 Share-based compensation

The Group grants share options and restricted share units (“RSUs”) to its management, other key employees and eligible nonemployees. Such compensation is accounted for in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation. The Group adopted ASU 2018-07, Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, for the periods presented. Under ASU 2018-07, the accounting for nonemployees’ share-based awards is similar to the model for employee awards. And forfeitures are accounted for when they occur.

Share-based awards with service conditions only are measured at the grant-date fair value of the awards and recognized as expenses using the straight-line method over the requisite service period. Share-based awards that are subject to both service conditions and the occurrence of an IPO or change of control as a performance condition, are measured at the grant-date fair value, and cumulative share-based compensation expenses for the awards that have satisfied the service condition were recorded upon the completion of the Company’s IPO in June 2021.

The fair value of share options is estimated using the binomial option-pricing model. The determination of the fair value is affected by the fair value of the ordinary shares as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables, including the expected share price volatility, actual and projected employee and nonemployee share option exercise behavior, risk-free interest rates and expected dividend yield. Binomial option-pricing model incorporates the assumptions about grantees’ future exercise patterns. The fair value of these awards was determined by management with the assistance from an independent valuation firm using management’s estimates and assumptions. The fair value of the RSUs, which were granted subsequent to the completion of the Company’s IPO, is estimated based on the fair value of the underlying ordinary shares of the Company on the grant date.

2.18 Share-based compensation (continued)

The assumptions used in share-based compensation expense recognition represent management’s best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and application of management judgment. If factors change or different assumptions are used, the share-based compensation expenses could be materially different for any period. Moreover, the estimates of fair value of the awards are not intended to predict actual future events or the value that ultimately will be realized by grantees who receive share-based awards.

2.19 Operating leases

The Group applied ASC 842, Leases, on January 1, 2019 on the modified retrospective basis. The Group determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are primarily for office and are included in operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Operating lease right-of-use assets represent the Group’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and operating lease liabilities represent obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. The operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Group’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at lease commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The Group’s lease term may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Group will exercise that option. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. And the Group has elected the practical expedient to account for lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. Upon the adoption of ASC 842, the Group recognized operating lease assets of RMB50,570 and operating lease liabilities of RMB50,089 on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

For operating lease with a term of one year or less, the Group has elected to not recognize a lease liability or lease right-of-use asset on its Consolidated Balance Sheets. Instead, it recognizes the lease payments as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Short-term lease expenses are immaterial to its Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive (Loss)/Income.

2.20 Taxation

Current income taxes are recorded in accordance with the regulations of the relevant tax jurisdiction. The Group accounts for deferred income taxes under the liability method in accordance with ASC 740, Income Tax. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the tax consequences attributable to differences between carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities in the financial statements and their respective tax basis, and operating loss carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive (Loss)/Income in the period of change. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce the amount of deferred tax assets if it is considered more likely than not that amount of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

The Group recognizes in its consolidated financial statements the benefit of a tax position if the tax position is more likely than not to prevail based on the facts and technical merits of the position. Tax positions that meet the more likely than not recognition threshold is measured at the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon settlement. The Group estimates its liability for unrecognized tax benefits which are periodically assessed and may be affected by changing interpretations of laws, rulings by tax authorities, changes and/or developments with respect to tax audits, and expiration of the statute of limitations. The ultimate outcome for a particular tax position may not be determined with certainty prior to the conclusion of a tax audit and, in some cases, appeal or litigation process. The actual benefits ultimately realized may differ from the Group’s estimates. As each audit is concluded, adjustments, if any, are recorded in the Group’s consolidated financial statements in the period in which the audit is concluded. Additionally, in future periods, changes in facts, circumstances and new information may require the Group to adjust the recognition and measurement estimates with regard to individual tax positions. Changes in recognition and measurement estimates are recognized in the period in which the changes occur. As of June 30, 2022, the Group did not have any significant unrecognized uncertain tax positions.

2.21 Statutory reserves

The Company’s subsidiaries, consolidated VIE and VIE’s subsidiaries established in the PRC are required to make appropriations to certain non-distributable reserve funds.

In accordance with the laws applicable to the foreign investment enterprises established in the PRC, the Group’s subsidiaries registered as wholly owned foreign enterprises have to make appropriations from their after-tax profits as determined under the PRC GAAP to reserve funds including general reserve fund, enterprise expansion fund and staff bonus and welfare fund on an annual basis. The appropriation to the general reserve fund must be at least 10% of the after-tax profits calculated in accordance with the PRC GAAP. Appropriation is not required if the general reserve fund has reached 50% of the registered capital of the company. Appropriations to the enterprise expansion fund and staff bonus and welfare fund are made at the respective company’s discretion.

In addition, in accordance with the PRC Company Law, the Group’s consolidated VIE and VIE’s subsidiaries, registered as Chinese domestic companies, must make appropriations from their after-tax profits as determined under the PRC GAAP to non-distributable reserve funds including statutory surplus fund and discretionary surplus fund on an annual basis. The appropriation to the statutory surplus fund must be 10% of the after-tax profits as determined under the PRC GAAP. Appropriation is not required if the statutory surplus fund has reached 50% of the registered capital of the company. Appropriation to the discretionary surplus fund is made at the discretion of the respective company.

The use of the general reserve fund, enterprise expansion fund, statutory surplus fund and discretionary surplus fund are restricted to the offsetting of losses or increasing of the registered capital of the respective company. The staff bonus and welfare fund is a liability in nature and is restricted to fund payments of special bonus to employees and for the collective welfare of employees. None of these reserves are allowed to be transferred to the Company in terms of cash dividends, loans or advances, nor can they be distributed except under liquidation.

No appropriation to any reserve fund was made for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2022.

2.22 Comprehensive income/(loss)

Comprehensive income/(loss) is defined as the change in equity of a company during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances excluding those resulting from investments by shareholders and distributions to shareholders. The Group recognizes foreign currency translation adjustments as other comprehensive income/(loss) in the consolidated financial statements. As such adjustments do not incur income tax obligations, there are no tax adjustments to arrive at other comprehensive income/(loss) on a net-of-tax basis.

2.23 Segment reporting

In accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting, the Group’s chief operating decision maker has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”), who reviews consolidated results when making decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance of the Group as a whole. Therefore, the Group has only one reportable segment. As the Group’s long-lived assets are substantially located in the PRC and substantially all the Group’s revenues are derived from entities within the PRC, no geographical segments are presented.

2.24 Net income/(loss) per share

Basic net income/(loss) per share is computed by dividing net income/(loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. The net income/(loss) will be adjusted by deducting (1) dividends declared in the period on preferred shares (if any), (2) cumulative dividends on preferred shares (whether or not declared) and (3) deemed dividends as required by U.S. GAAP. Diluted net income/(loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income/(loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and potential ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Potential ordinary shares consist of shares issuable upon the conversion of the preferred shares using the if-converted method, for periods prior to the completion of the Company’ IPO in June 2021, unvested RSUs and shares issuable upon the exercise of share options using the treasury stock method. The computation of diluted net income/(loss) per share does not assume conversion, exercise or contingent issuance of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect.

The two-class method is used for computing net income per share in the event the Group has net income available for distribution. Using the two-class method, net income is allocated between ordinary shares and other participating securities based on their participating rights, if applicable. Prior to the completion of the Company’ IPO in June 2021, the computation of basic net loss per share using the two-class method was not applicable as the Company was in a net loss position and the participating securities did not have contractual obligations to share in the loss of the Company. After the completion of the IPO, net income/(loss) per share is computed on Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares combined basis, because both classes have the same dividend rights in the Company’s undistributed net income.

2.25 Recent accounting pronouncements

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, to remove specific exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and to simplify the accounting for income taxes. The standard is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption is permitted. The Group adopted this ASU from January 1, 2022, which didn’t have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted

In June 2016, the FASB amended guidance related to the expected credit loss of financial instruments as part of ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, which amends the effective date for credit losses as follows: for public business entities that meet the definition of an SEC filer, excluding entities eligible to be SRCs as defined by the SEC, the standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years; for all other entities, the standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The standard is effective for the Group’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2023. The ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

3.	CONCENTRATION AND RISKS

3.1	Concentration of credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially expose the Group to the concentration of credit risk primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. The maximum exposure of such assets to credit risk is their carrying amounts as of the balance sheet dates. The Group places its cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments with financial institutions with high-credit rating and quality. The Group hasn’t noted any significant credit risk.

3.2	Concentration of customers

Substantially all revenues were derived from customers located in China. No customer accounted for greater than 10% of total revenues of the Group in any of the periods presented.

3.3	Foreign currency exchange rate risk

In July 2005, the PRC government changed its decades-old policy of pegging the value of the RMB to the US$, and the RMB appreciated more than 20% against the US$ over the following three years. Between July 2008 and June 2010, this appreciation halted and the exchange rate between the RMB and the US$ remained within a narrow band. Since June 2010, the RMB has fluctuated against the US$, at times significantly and unpredictably. The depreciation of the RMB against the US$ was approximately 1.7% in 2019. The appreciation of the RMB against the US$ was approximately 6.5% and 2.3% in 2020 and 2021, respectively. The depreciation of the RMB against the US$ was approximately 5.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2022. It is difficult to predict how market forces or PRC or U.S. government policy may impact the exchange rate between the RMB and the US$ in the future.

Hong Kong

Under the current Hong Kong Inland Revenue Ordinance, the Group’s subsidiary in Hong Kong is subject to 16.5% Hong Kong profit tax on its taxable income generated from operations in Hong Kong.

China

Under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law (the “EIT Law”), which is effective from January 1, 2008, domestic enterprises and foreign investment enterprises are subject to a uniform enterprise income tax rate of 25%. In accordance with the implementation rules of EIT Law, a qualified “High and New Technology Enterprise” (“HNTE”) is eligible for a preferential tax rate of 15%. The HNTE certificate is effective for a period of three years. An entity could re-apply for the HNTE certificate when the prior certificate expires.

Huapin is qualified as a HNTE and enjoys a preferential income tax rate of 15% for the years presented, which will expire in 2022 and need to be re-applied.

According to relevant laws and regulations promulgated by the State Administration of Tax of the PRC effective from 2018 onwards, enterprises engaging in research and development activities are entitled to claim 175% of their qualified research and development expenses incurred as tax deductible expenses when determining their assessable profits for the year.

(b)	Income tax (continued)

The following table sets forth a reconciliation between the PRC statutory income tax rate of 25% and the Group’ effective tax rate:


	For the six months ended June 30,
	2021		2022
	RMB		RMB
PRC statutory income tax rate	25.00	%	25.00	%
Tax rate difference from statutory rate in other jurisdictions⁽¹⁾	(23.84)	%	5.83	%
Permanent difference⁽²⁾	0.46	%	(6.53)	%
Effect of preferential tax rates	(0.41)	%	(17.76)	%
Changes in valuation allowance	(7.72)	%	10.57	%
Others	6.51	%	(2.16)	%
Effective tax rate	—		14.95	%

(1)

The tax rate difference for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was mainly attributed to net loss of the Company, which is located in the Cayman Islands and exempted from income tax.

(2)

The permanent difference was primarily related to additional tax deductions for qualified research and development expenses offset by non-deductible share-based compensation expenses.

(c)

Deferred tax assets

The following table sets forth the significant components of the deferred tax assets:


	As of December 31,	As of June 30,
	2021	2022
	RMB	RMB
Net operating loss carry-forwards	70,985	82,028
Deductible advertising expenses	262,801	262,797
Others	1,062	—
Total deferred tax assets	334,848	344,825
Less: valuation allowance	(334,848)	(344,825)
Total deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowance	—	—

As of June 30, 2022, the Group had accumulated tax losses of approximately RMB331.9 million, mainly derived from certain entities incorporated in the PRC and overseas. The tax losses in PRC can be carried forward for five years to offset future taxable profit, and the period is extended to 10 years for entities qualified as HNTE in 2019 and thereafter. The tax losses in Hong Kong can be carried forward with no expiration date. Under the U.S. tax law, majority of the Group’s federal tax losses arose in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017 and can be carried forward indefinitely. California state tax losses can be carried forward for up to 20 years.

The Group considers positive and negative evidence to determine whether some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be more likely than not realized. This assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of recent losses and forecasts of future profitability. These assumptions require significant judgment and the forecasts of future taxable income are consistent with the plans and estimates the Group is using to manage the underlying business. Valuation allowance is established for deferred tax assets based on a more-likely-than-not threshold. The Group’s ability to realize deferred tax assets depends on its ability to generate sufficient taxable income within the carry-forward periods provided for in the tax law. The Group believes that it is more likely than not that these deferred tax assets will not be utilized in the future. Therefore, the Group has provided full valuation allowance for the deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2022.

Each Series A, B, C, D, E and F Preferred Share shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time and without the payment of additional consideration by the holder thereof, into such number of Class A ordinary shares as determined by the quotient of the applicable issue price divided by the then effective applicable conversion price with respect to such particular series of Preferred Shares, which shall initially be the applicable issue price for the Series A, B, C, D, E and F Preferred Shares, as the case may be, resulting in an initial conversion ratio for the Preferred Shares of 1:1, and shall be subject to adjustment and readjustment from time to time, including but not limited to additional equity securities issuances, share dividends, distributions, subdivisions, redemptions, combinations, or reorganizations, mergers, consolidations, reclassifications, exchanges or substitutions.

Automatic conversion

Each Preferred Share is convertible, at the option of the holder, at any time after the date of issuance of such Preferred Shares according to a conversion ratio, subject to adjustments for dilution, including but not limited to stock splits, stock dividends and capitalization and certain other events. Each Preferred Share is convertible into a number of ordinary shares determined by dividing the applicable original issue price by the conversion price (initially being 1 to 1 conversion ratio). The conversion price of each Preferred Share is the same as its original issue price and no adjustments to conversion price have occurred so far.

Each Series A, B, C, D, E and F Preferred Share shall automatically be converted into Class A ordinary shares, at the then applicable preferred share conversion price upon (i) closing of a Qualified Initial Public Offering (“Qualified IPO”), or (ii) the written approval of the holders of a majority of each series of Preferred Shares (calculated and voting separately in their respective single class on an as-converted basis).

Prior to the Series D Preferred Shares issuance on November 2, 2017, a “Qualified IPO” was defined as an initial public offering with gross proceeds no less than US$60 million and capitalization of the Company of no less than US$350 million prior to such initial public offering. Upon the issuance of Series D Preferred Shares, the gross proceeds and market capitalization criteria for a “Qualified IPO” were increased to US$90 million and US$900 million, respectively. Upon the issuance of Series E Preferred Shares, the gross proceeds and market capitalization criteria for a “Qualified IPO” were increased to US$100 million and US$2,000 million, respectively. Upon the issuance of Series F Preferred Shares, the gross proceeds and market capitalization criteria for a “Qualified IPO” were increased to US$100 million and US$3,300 million, respectively. Upon the issuance of Series F-plus Preferred Shares, the gross proceeds and market capitalization criteria for a “Qualified IPO” were increased to US$300 million and US$5,000 million, respectively.

Voting rights

Each holder of Series A, B, C, D, E and F Preferred Shares is entitled to cast the number of votes equal to the number of Class A ordinary shares such Preferred Shares would be entitled to convert into at the then effective conversion price. There was a modification to the voting rights of the shares controlled by Mr. Peng Zhao when the Series F and Series F-plus Preferred Shares were issued as follows:

●

the voting rights of ordinary shares controlled by Mr. Peng Zhao was modified to carry 10 votes in connection with the Series F Preferred Shares financing; and

●

the voting rights of shares controlled by Mr. Peng Zhao was modified to carry 15 votes in connection with the Series F-plus Preferred Shares financing.

14.	CONVERTIBLE REDEEMABLE PREFERRED SHARES (CONTINUED)

Dividend rights

Each Preferred Share shall have the right to receive dividends, on an as-converted basis, when, as and if declared by the Board. No dividend shall be paid on the ordinary shares at any time unless and until all dividends on the Preferred Shares have been paid in full. No dividends on preferred and ordinary shares have been declared since the issuance date.

Liquidation preference

In the event of any liquidation (unless waived by the majority of Preferred Shareholders) including deemed liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, Preferred Shareholders shall be entitled to receive a per share amount equal to 100% of the original preferred share issue price of the respective series of Preferred Shares, as adjusted for share dividends, share splits, combinations, recapitalizations or similar events, plus all accrued and declared but unpaid dividends thereon, in the sequence of Series F Preferred Shares, Series E Preferred Shares, Series D Preferred Shares, Series C Preferred Shares, Series B Preferred Shares, and Series A Preferred Shares. After such liquidation amounts have been paid in full, any remaining funds or assets of the Company legally available for distribution to shareholders shall be distributed on a pro rata, pari passu basis among the holders of the Preferred Shares, on an as-converted basis, together with the holders of the ordinary shares.

Redemption rights

At any time commencing on a date specified in the shareholders’ agreements (the “Redemption Start Date”), holders of majority (more than 50%) of the then outstanding Series A, B, C, D, E and F Preferred Shares may request a redemption of the Preferred Shares of such series. On receipt of a redemption request from the holders, the Company shall redeem all or part, as requested, of the outstanding Preferred Shares of such series.

The Redemption Start Date of Preferred Shares have been amended for a number of times historically. If any holder of any series of Preferred Shares exercises its redemption right, any holder of other series of Preferred Shares shall have the right to exercise the redemption of its series at the same time.

The redemption prices have been modified historically. Prior to the issuance of Series F Preferred Shares, the price at which each Preferred Share shall be redeemed shall equal to the original Preferred Shares issue price for such series plus 10% compound interest per annum (calculated from the issuance date of the respective series of Preferred Shares), and declared but unpaid dividends. Upon the issuance of Series F Preferred Shares, the price at which each Preferred Share shall be redeemed shall equal to the original Preferred Shares issue price for such series plus 8% simple interest per annum (calculated from the issuance dates of the respective series of Preferred Shares), and declared but unpaid dividends.

If on the redemption date triggered by the occurrence of any redemption event, the Company’s assets or funds which are legally available are insufficient to pay in full the aggregate redemption price for Preferred Shares requested to be redeemed, upon the request of a redeeming shareholder, the Company shall execute and deliver a two-year note, bearing an interest of ten percent (10%) per annum and with repayment of the principal and interest to be made on a monthly basis over a period of twenty-four (24) months. Preferred Shares subject to redemption with respect to which the Company has become obligated to pay the redemption price but which it has not paid in full shall continue to have all the rights and privileges which such Preferred Shareholders had prior to such date, until the redemption price has been paid in full with respect to such Preferred Shares.

Conversion upon IPO

In June 2021, upon the completion of IPO, all of the Preferred Shares were automatically converted to 551,352,134 Class A ordinary shares on a one-for-one basis.

14.	CONVERTIBLE REDEEMABLE PREFERRED SHARES (CONTINUED)

Accounting for preferred shares

The Company classified the Preferred Shares in the mezzanine equity section of the Consolidated Balance Sheets because they were redeemable at the holders’ option any time after a certain date and were contingently redeemable upon the occurrence of certain liquidation event outside of the Company’s control. The Preferred Shares are recorded initially at fair value, net of issuance costs.

The Company records accretion on the Preferred Shares, where applicable, to the redemption value from the issuance dates to the earliest redemption dates. The accretion, calculated using the effective interest method, is recorded against retained earnings, or in the absence of retained earnings, by charging against additional paid-in capital. Once additional paid-in capital has been exhausted, additional charges are recorded by increasing the accumulated deficit. The accretion of Preferred Shares was RMB164,065 (US$25,284) for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

The Company has determined that, under the whole instrument approach, host contract of the Preferred Shares is more akin to a debt host, given the Preferred Shares holders have potential creditors’ right in the event of insufficient fund upon redemption, along with other debt-like features in the terms of the Preferred Shares, including the redemption rights. However, the Company determined that the embedded feature, including conversion feature, do not require bifurcation as they either are clearly and closely related to the host or do not meet definition of a derivative.

The Company has determined that there was no beneficial conversion feature attributable to all Preferred Shares because the initial effective conversion prices of these Preferred Shares were higher than the fair value of the Company’s ordinary shares determined by the Company with the assistance from an independent third-party appraiser.

Modification of preferred shares

The Company assesses whether an amendment to the terms of its convertible redeemable preferred shares is an extinguishment or a modification based on a qualitative evaluation of the amendment. If the amendment adds, removes, significantly changes to a substantive contractual term or to the nature of the overall instrument, the amendment results in an extinguishment of the preferred shares. The Company also assess if the change in terms results in value transfer between Preferred Shareholders or between Preferred Shareholders and ordinary shareholders.

When convertible redeemable preferred shares are extinguished, the difference between the fair value of the consideration transferred to the convertible redeemable Preferred Shareholders and the carrying amount of such preferred shares (net of issuance costs) is treated as a deemed dividend to the Preferred Shareholders. When convertible redeemable preferred shares are modified and such modification results in value transfer between Preferred Shareholders and ordinary shareholders, the change in fair value resulted from the amendment is treated as a deemed dividend to or from the Preferred Shareholders.

Preferred shares modification were mainly included below:

●

Starting from the issuance of Series C Preferred Shares, optional redemption date of each pre-existing Preferred Shares was modified and extended to the fifth anniversary of each newly issued series of Preferred Shares applicable closing date; and

●

On February 10, 2020, the Redemption Start Date of Series A, B, C, D and E Preferred Shares was extended from July 5, 2024 to February 10, 2025, which is to be in line with the optional redemption date of Series F Preferred Shares. In the meanwhile, redemption price interest rate was lowered from 10% compound interest per annum to 8% simple interest per annum commencing from Series F Preferred Shares original issuance date and ending on the date of redemption.

From both quantitative and qualitative perspectives, the Company assessed the impact of these modifications and concluded that they represented a modification rather than extinguishment of pre-existing preferred shares, and the impact of the modification was immaterial.

15.	SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

(a)	Share options

Since 2014, the Company has granted options to certain directors, executive officers and employees. The maximum aggregate number of ordinary shares that are authorized to be issued under the Company’s share award plans is 158,726,695 as of June 30, 2022. The share options have a contractual term of ten years.

Share options granted contain service conditions. With respect to the service conditions, there are 3 types of vesting schedule, which are: (i) 25% of the share options shall become vested on each anniversary of the vesting commencement date for 4 years thereafter; (ii) 50% of the share options shall become vested on each anniversary of the vesting commencement date for 2 years thereafter; and (iii) immediately vested upon grant.

For share options with service conditions only, those awards are measured at the grant-date fair value and recognized as expenses over the requisite service period, which is the vesting period. For certain share options granted to employees, even though the service condition might have been satisfied, employees are required to provide continued service through the occurrence of an IPO or change of control (“Trigger Event”). Given the vesting of these share options is contingent upon the occurrence of Trigger Event, no share-based compensation expenses were recognized for these share options until the completion of the IPO in June 2021, when cumulative share-based compensation expenses for the awards that have satisfied the service conditions were recorded.

The following table sets forth the activities of share options for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2022, respectively:


		Weighted	Weighted		Weighted
		average	average	Aggregate	average
	Number of	exercise	remaining	intrinsic	grant-date

Exercisable as of June 30, 2022	30,629,972	2.12	6.93	337,665	1.79

The aggregate intrinsic value is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the underlying awards and the estimated fair value of the underlying ordinary share at each reporting date.

As of June 30, 2022, there were US$146,502 of unrecognized compensation expenses related to share options, which are expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.72 years and may be adjusted for future forfeitures.

15.	SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION (CONTINUED)

(a)	Share options (continued)

The Company uses binomial option-pricing model to determine the fair value of the share options as of the grant dates. Key assumptions (or ranges thereof) are set as below:

a
		For the six months ended
		June 30, 2021
Fair value of ordinary shares on the date of option grant		6.78 – 18.09
Risk-free interest rate⁽¹⁾		1.7% – 2.0%
Expected term (in years)		10
Expected dividend yield⁽²⁾		0%
Expected volatility⁽³⁾		58.8% – 59.8%
Expected early exercise multiple		2.2x – 2.8x

(1)

The risk-free interest rate of periods within the contractual life of the share option is based on the market yield of U.S. Treasury Strips with a maturity life equal to the expected life to expiration.

(2)

The Company has no history or expectation of paying dividends on its ordinary shares.

(3)

Expected volatility is estimated based on the average of historical volatilities of the comparable companies in the same industry as at the valuation dates.

(b)

RSUs

After the completion of the Company’s IPO in June 2021, the Company started to grant RSUs to employees. One RSU represents a right relating to one Class A ordinary share of the Company. The RSUs were granted with service conditions. The fair value of the RSUs is estimated based on the market value of the underlying ordinary share of the Company at the grant date.

The following table summarizes activities of the Company’s RSUs for the six months ended June 30, 2022:


	Number of	Weighted average
	RSUs	grant-date fair value
		US$
Outstanding as of January 1, 2022	3,521,118	19.05
Granted	8,118,214
Vested	(257,420)
Forfeited	(242,012)
Outstanding as of June 30, 2022	11,139,900	12.81

As of June 30, 2022, there were US$128,950 of unrecognized compensation expenses related to RSUs, which are expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.63 years and may be adjusted for future forfeitures.

17.	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Commitments

The Group engaged third parties for promoting its brand image through various advertising channels. The amount of advertising commitments relates to the committed advertising services that have not been delivered and paid. As of June 30, 2022, future minimum advertising commitments under non-cancelable agreements were RMB110.3 million.

Contingencies

The Group and certain of the officers and directors have been named as defendants in a putative securities class action filed on July 12, 2021 in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. On March 4, 2022, plaintiff filed the Amended Complaint, purportedly brought on behalf of a class of persons who allegedly suffered damages as a result of their trading in the securities between June 11, 2021 and July 2, 2021, both inclusive. The action alleges that the Group made false and misleading statements regarding the business, operations and compliance policies in violation of the Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. In May 2022, the Company filed its motion to dismiss the Amended Complaint. Briefing on the motion to dismiss was completed in July 2022, and a decision remains pending. In September 2022, the parties reached a tentative agreement in principle to settle the case. Accordingly, the Group has recorded a contingent liability of RMB14.9 million as of June 30, 2022. On November 10, 2022, the Court granted preliminary approval of the parties’ settlement agreement, pursuant to which, without any admission or finding of any wrongdoing on the part of any of the Defendants, the parties agreed that, in consideration of the Company’s payment of US$2.25 million, all actual and potential claims and causes of action that have been or could have been alleged against the Company and the individual defendant (including the individuals mentioned above) are resolved and discharged and precluded from being raised again in any future action. The payment of the settlement amount is due by mid-December 2022 and has been paid. The Court scheduled a fairness hearing for March 2023, after which the Court will decide whether to grant final approval of the settlement.

18.	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

Information about inputs into the fair value measurement of the Group’s assets that are measured or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis in periods subsequent to their initial recognition is as follows:


		Fair value measurement at reporting date using
		Quoted prices in active	Significant other	Significant
		markets for identical assets	observable inputs	unobservable inputs
Description	Fair value	(Level 1)	(Level 2)	(Level 3)
	RMB	RMB	RMB	RMB
Short-term investments
As of December 31, 2021	884,996	—	884,996	—
As of June 30, 2022	812,225	—	812,225	—

When available, the Group uses quoted market prices to determine the fair value of an asset or liability. If quoted market prices are not available, the Group will measure fair value using valuation techniques that use, when possible, current market-based or independently sourced market parameters, such as interest rates and currency rates. For short-term investments, which consists of wealth management products, the Group refers to the quoted rate of return provided by financial institutions at the end of each period using the discounted cash flow method. The Group classifies the valuation techniques as Level 2 of fair value measurement.

19.	RESTRICTED NET ASSETS

In accordance with the laws applicable to foreign investment enterprises established in the PRC, the Group’s subsidiaries registered as wholly owned foreign enterprises must make appropriations from after-tax profits (as determined under PRC GAAP) to reserve funds including general reserve fund, enterprise expansion fund and staff bonus and welfare fund. The appropriation to the general reserve fund must be at least 10% of the after-tax profits until such reserve fund has reached 50% of the enterprise’s registered capital. The appropriation to enterprise expansion fund and staff bonus and welfare fund is at the discretion of the respective company. Additionally, in accordance with the PRC Company Law, the Group’s consolidated VIE and VIE’s subsidiaries must make appropriations from after-tax profits (as determined under the PRC GAAP) to statutory surplus fund and discretionary surplus fund. The appropriation to the statutory surplus fund is at least 10% of the after-tax profits until such reserve fund has reached 50% of the company’s registered capital. The appropriation to discretionary surplus fund is at the discretion of the respective company. The aforementioned reserved funds can only be used for specific purposes and are not distributable as cash dividends.

As a result of these PRC laws and regulations that require annual appropriations of 10% of net after-tax profits to be set aside prior to payment of dividends as general reserve fund or statutory surplus fund, the Company’s subsidiaries, the consolidated VIE and VIE’s subsidiaries incorporated in PRC are restricted in their ability to transfer a portion of their net assets to the Company.

Amounts restricted include paid-in capital and statutory reserve funds, totaling approximately RMB938.0 million, or 8.25% of the Group’s total consolidated net assets as of June 30, 2022.

Under the contractual arrangements with the VIE, the Company has the power to direct activities of the VIE through the WFOE that most significantly impact the VIE such as having assets transferred out of the VIE at its discretion. Therefore, the Company considers that there is no asset of the VIE that can be used to settle obligations of the VIE except for registered capital and PRC statutory reserves of the VIE amounting to RMB9,002 and RMB9,002 as of December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2022, respectively. Since the VIE was incorporated as a limited liability company under the PRC Company Law, the creditors do not have recourse to the general credit of the WFOE for all the liabilities of the VIE.

The Group believes that the contractual arrangements between or among the WFOE, VIE and the Registered Shareholders are following PRC laws and regulations, as applicable. However, uncertainties in the PRC legal system could limit the Company’s ability to enforce these contractual arrangements. On March 15, 2019, the PRC Foreign Investment Law was approved and took effect from January 1, 2020. Since the PRC Foreign Investment Law is relatively new, there are substantial uncertainties exist with respect to its implementation and interpretation and the possibility that the VIE will be deemed as a foreign-invested enterprise and subject to relevant restrictions in the future shall not be excluded. If the contractual arrangements establishing the Company’s VIE structure are found to be in violation of any existing law and regulations or future PRC laws and regulations, the relevant PRC government authorities will have broad discretion in dealing with such violation, including, without limitation, levying fines, confiscating the Group’s income or the income from the VIE, revoking the Group’s business licenses or the business licenses, requiring the Group to restructure its ownership structure or operations and requiring the Group to discontinue any portion or all of the Group’s value-added businesses or other prohibited businesses. Any of these actions could cause significant disruption to the Group’s business operations and have a severe adverse impact on the Group’s cash flows, financial position and operating performance. If the imposing of these penalties causes the WFOE to lose its rights to direct the activities of and receive economic benefits from the VIE, which in turn may restrict the Company’s ability to consolidate and reflect in its financial statements the financial position and results of operations of its VIE.

2.	PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

2.1	Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual audited consolidated financial statements. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP. In management’s opinion, the Company has made all adjustments (consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments, except as otherwise indicated) necessary to fairly state its consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. The results of operations of any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year or any other interim period. These financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F.

Significant accounting policies followed by the Group in the preparation of its accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are summarized below.

2.2	Basis of consolidation

All transactions and balances between the Company, its subsidiaries, the consolidated VIE and VIE’s subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Online recruitment services to enterprise customers

●

For services over a particular subscription period, the Group has a stand-ready obligation to deliver the corresponding services on a when-and-if-available basis during the subscription period and enterprise customers simultaneously and continuously receive and consume the benefits as the Group provides the services throughout the subscription period. Therefore, a time-based measure of progress best reflects the satisfaction of the performance obligations and the Group recognizes revenues on a straight-line basis over the subscription period. Revenues recognized over time for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2022 were RMB2,207,283 and RMB2,509,702, respectively.

●

For services with definite and limited number of usages within an expiration period, upon the delivery of the individual services, the Group satisfies its performance obligations and enterprise customers benefit from its performance obligations, and therefore revenues are recognized at a point in time; and if these services are unused within the expiration period, the Group recognizes the relevant revenues when they expire. Revenues recognized at a point in time for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2022 were RMB929,771 and RMB881,946, respectively.

2.5 Share-based compensation

The Group grants share options and restricted share units (“RSUs”) to its management, other key employees and eligible nonemployees. Such compensation is accounted for in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation. The Group adopted ASU 2018-07, Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, for the periods presented. Under ASU 2018-07, the accounting for nonemployees’ share-based awards are similar to the model for employee awards. And forfeitures are accounted for when they occur.

2.6 Recent accounting pronouncements

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

Recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted

In June 2016, the FASB amended guidance related to the expected credit loss of financial instruments as part of ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, which amends the effective date for credit losses as follows: for public business entities that meet the definition of an SEC filer, excluding entities eligible to be SRCs as defined by the SEC, the standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years; for all other entities, the standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The standard is effective for the Group’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2023. The ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

3.	CONCENTRATION AND RISKS

3.1	Concentration of credit risk

3.2	Concentration of customers

Substantially all revenues were derived from customers located in China. No customer accounted for greater than 10% of total revenues of the Group in any of the periods presented.

3.3	Foreign currency exchange rate risk

In July 2005, the PRC government changed its decades-old policy of pegging the value of the RMB to the US$, and the RMB appreciated more than 20% against the US$ over the following three years. Between July 2008 and June 2010, this appreciation halted and the exchange rate between the RMB and the US$ remained within a narrow band. Since June 2010, the RMB has fluctuated against the US$, at times significantly and unpredictably. The depreciation of the RMB against the US$ was approximately 1.7% in 2019. The appreciation of the RMB against the US$ was approximately 6.5% and 2.3% in 2020 and 2021, respectively. The depreciation of the RMB against the US$ was approximately 11.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. It is difficult to predict how market forces or PRC or U.S. government policy may impact the exchange rate between the RMB and the US$ in the future.

16.	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED)

Contingencies

The Group and certain of the officers and directors have been named as defendants in a putative securities class action filed on July 12, 2021 in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. On March 4, 2022, plaintiff filed the Amended Complaint, purportedly brought on behalf of a class of persons who allegedly suffered damages as a result of their trading in the securities between June 11, 2021 and July 2, 2021, both inclusive. The action alleges that the Group made false and misleading statements regarding the business, operations and compliance policies in violation of the Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. In May 2022, the Company filed its motion to dismiss the Amended Complaint. Briefing on the motion to dismiss was completed in July 2022, and a decision remains pending. In September 2022, the parties reached a tentative agreement in principle to settle the case. Accordingly, the Group has recorded a contingent liability of RMB14.9 million as of September 30, 2022. On November 10, 2022, the Court granted preliminary approval of the parties’ settlement agreement, pursuant to which, without any admission or finding of any wrongdoing on the part of any of the Defendants, the parties agreed that, in consideration of the Company’s payment of US$2.25 million, all actual and potential claims and causes of action that have been or could have been alleged against the Company and the individual defendant (including the individuals mentioned above) are resolved and discharged and precluded from being raised again in any future action. The payment of the settlement amount is due by mid-December 2022 and has been paid. The Court scheduled a fairness hearing for March 2023, after which the Court will decide whether to grant final approval of the settlement.
