Risk Factors |
• | We have experienced rapid growth and expect our growth to continue, but if we fail to effectively manage our growth, then our business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected. |
• | We have a history of net loss and we may not be able to achieve or subsequently maintain profitability. |
• | To support our business growth, we are continuously optimizing and expanding our infrastructure including data centers, and investing substantially and efficiently in our research and development efforts, which may negatively impact our cash flow, and may not generate the results we expect to achieve. |
• | We have recorded negative cash flows from operating activities historically. If we fail to collect accounts receivable from our customers in a timely manner, our business operations and financial results may be materially and adversely affected. |
• | Although we have been increasing and diversifying our customer base, we receive a substantial portion of our revenues from a limited number of customers, and the loss of, or a significant reduction in usage by, one or more of our Premium Customers would result in lower revenues and could harm our business. |
• | We operate in a fast-growing market. If our market does not grow as we expect, or if we fail to adapt and respond effectively to rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards, changing regulations, and changing customer needs, requirements or preferences, our products and solutions may become less competitive. |
• | Security incidents and attacks on our platform, products or solutions, or our global network infrastructure could lead to significant costs and disruptions that could harm our business, financial results, and reputation. |
• | Sanctions, export controls and other economic or trade restrictions imposed on Chinese companies may affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. |
• | If our expansion into new verticals is not successful, our business, prospects and growth momentum may be materially and adversely affected. |
• | The market in which we participate is competitive, and if we do not compete effectively, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be harmed. |
• | If we are no longer able to benefit from our business cooperation with Kingsoft Group or Xiaomi and its ecosystem, our business may be adversely affected. |
• | Kingsoft Group and Xiaomi are our existing customers, from which we received a portion of revenues. Failure to maintain the relationships with them would result in lower revenues and could adversely impact our business, operation results and financial conditions. |
• | Any policy changes, punishment or litigation against Kingsoft Group or Xiaomi, or any negative developments in Kingsoft Group ’ s or Xiaomi ’ s market position, brand recognition or financial condition may materially and adversely affect our reputation, business, results of operations and financial condition. |
• | Certain existing shareholders have substantial influence over our Company and their interests may not be aligned with the interests of our other shareholders. |
• | There are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of current and future PRC laws, regulations, and rules relating to the agreements that establish the contractual arrangement for our operations in China, including potential future actions by the PRC government, which could affect the enforceability of our contractual arrangements with the VIEs and, consequently, significantly affect the financial condition and results of operations performance of our Company. If the PRC government finds such agreements that establish the structure for operating our businesses in China non-compliant with relevant PRC laws, regulations, and rules, or if these laws, regulations, and rules or the interpretation thereof change in the future, we could be subject to severe penalties or be forced to relinquish our interests in the VIEs. |
• | Uncertainties exist with respect to the interpretation and implementation of Foreign Investment Law and its implementing rules and other foreign investment related laws and regulations and how they may impact our business, financial condition and results of operations. |
• | We rely on contractual arrangements with the VIEs and their respective shareholders for a large portion of our business operations, which may not be as effective as direct ownership in providing operational control. |
• | Any failure by the VIEs or their respective shareholders to perform their obligations under our contractual arrangements with them would have a material and adverse effect on our business. |
• | A severe or prolonged downturn in the PRC or global economy could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. |
• | Changes in China’s economic, political or social conditions or government policies could have a material adverse effect on our business and operations. |
• | Uncertainties with respect to the PRC legal system , including uncertainties regarding the enforcement of laws, and sudden or unexpected changes in policies, laws and regulations in China, could adversely affect us. |
• | You may experience difficulties in effecting service of legal process, enforcing foreign judgments or bringing actions in China against us or our management named based on foreign laws. |
• | The filing, approval or other administrative requirements of the CSRC or other PRC government authorities may be required to maintain our listing status or conduct future offshore securities or debt offerings. |
• | We may rely on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by our PRC subsidiaries to fund any cash and financing requirements we may have, and any limitation on the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to make payments to us could have a material and adverse effect on our ability to conduct our business. |
• | The PCAOB is currently unable to inspect our auditor in relation to their audit work performed for our financial statements and the inability of the PCAOB to conduct inspections over our auditor deprives our investors with the benefits of such inspections. |
• | Our ADSs may be delisted and our ADSs and shares prohibited from trading in the over-the-counter 16, 2021, the PCAOB issued the HFCAA Determination Report, according to which our auditor is one of the registered public accounting firms that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely. Under the current law, delisting and prohibition from over-the-counter non-U.S. exchange or that a market for our shares will develop outside of the U.S. The delisting of our ADSs, or the threat of their being delisted, may materially and adversely affect the value of your investment. |
• | The potential enactment of the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act would decrease the number of non-inspection years from three years to two years, thus reducing the time period before our ADSs may be delisted or prohibited from over-the-counter over-the-counter |
• | The price and trading volume of our ADSs may be volatile, which could lead to substantial losses to investors. |
• | If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, or if they adversely change their recommendations regarding our securities , the market price for our ADSs and trading volume could decline. |
• | Techniques employed by short sellers may drive down the market price of our ADSs. |
• | Due to recent substantial fluctuations of our ADSs’ trading prices there is a significant risk that we will be a passive foreign investment company for U.S. federal income tax purposes for 2022 or future taxable years. |

(1) | The tax calculation has been simplified for the purpose of this example. The hypothetical book pre-tax earnings amount, which does not consider timing differences, is assumed to equal the taxable income in the PRC. |
(2) | Under the terms of the VIE agreements, sales service fees are charged by our PRC subsidiaries to the VIEs and their subsidiaries. For all the periods presented, these fees are recognized as cost of revenues of the VIEs and their subsidiaries with a corresponding amount as service income by our PRC subsidiaries and eliminated in consolidation. For income tax purposes, our PRC subsidiaries, VIEs and their subsidiaries file income taxes on a separate company basis. The fees paid are recognized as a tax deduction by the VIEs and their subsidiaries and as income by our PRC subsidiaries and are tax neutral. Upon the instance that the VIEs and their subsidiaries reach a cumulative level of profitability, because our PRC subsidiaries occupy certain trademarks and copyrights, the agreements will be updated to reflect charges for such trademarks and copyrights usage on the basis that they will qualify for tax neutral treatment. |
(3) | China’s Enterprise Income Tax Law imposes a withholding income tax of 10% on dividends distributed by a Foreign Invested Enterprises (“FIE”) to its immediate holding company outside of China. A lower withholding income tax rate of 5% is applied if the FIE’s immediate holding company is registered in Hong Kong or other jurisdictions that have a tax treaty arrangement with China, subject to a qualification review at the time of the distribution. For the purpose of this hypothetical example, this table has been prepared based on a taxation scenario under which the full withholding tax would be applied. |

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets | ||
Description of the Matter |
At December 31, 2021, the Company’s long lived assets, comprising of property and equipment, intangible assets, and operating lease right-of-use Auditing management’s impairment assessment required subjective auditor judgment due to the estimation uncertainty in determining the future undiscounted cash flows of an asset group with impairment indicators. Significant assumptions used in the future undiscounted cash flows of the asset group included revenue growth rates and gross margin. These significant assumptions are forward looking and could be affected by future economic and market conditions. |
How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit |
We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over the Company’s long-lived asset impairment assessment process. For example, we tested the controls over management’s review of the significant assumptions described above used to develop the undiscounted cash flows projections. To test the Company’s impairment assessment of the long-lived assets, we performed audit procedures that included, among others, evaluating the significant assumptions described above and testing the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data used. We compared the revenue growth rates and gross margin used by management to the historical results of the asset group, current industry, market and economic trends and other relevant external data. We also performed sensitivity analyses of significant assumptions discussed above to evaluate the changes in the future undiscounted cash flows of the asset group resulting from changes in the assumptions. |
