MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This management’s discussion and analysis is designed to provide you with a narrative explanation of our financial condition and results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2024.

This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors.

Overview

We believe we, together with the VIEs, are a leading omni-channel automotive marketplace in China. We, together with the VIEs, provide a scalable omni-channel automotive marketplace approach to automobile marketing and distribution. We and the VIEs offer marketing solutions by integrating online platform and offline sales events. In the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2024, we and the VIEs hosted 183 and 63 auto shows across 80 and 47 cities in mainland China, respectively. Our and the VIEs’ auto shows offered a total of 4,301 and 1,084 booth spaces in the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2024, respectively. The total number of automobile sales transactions we and the VIEs facilitated was 44,891 and 10,460 in the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2024, respectively, with a total gross merchandise value of approximately RMB7.2 billion and RMB1.7 billion (US$0.2 billion) in the same period, respectively.

Historically, we generated our net revenues primarily through our and the VIEs’ offline events. Our net revenues were RMB92.2 million and RMB32.3 million (US$4.4 million) in the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2024, respectively. Our net loss was RMB30.7 million and RMB40.7 million (US$5.6 million) in the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2024, respectively. Our adjusted EBITDA was a loss of RMB36.8 million and a loss of RMB27.2 million (US$3.7 million) in the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2024, respectively. We recorded adjusted net loss of RMB36.7 million and RMB26.8 million (US$3.7 million) in the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2024, respectively. For a detailed description of our non-GAAP measures, see “—Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

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

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

Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2023

Net Revenues

Our net revenues decreased by 64.9% from RMB92.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023 to RMB32.3 million (US$4.4 million) in the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Net revenues from auto show services decreased by 71.2% from RMB69.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023 to RMB19.9 million (US$2.7 million) in the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to a decreased number of offline activities as a result of a reduction in customer marketing budgets. In the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2024, we and the VIEs organized 183 and 63 auto shows in 80 and 47 cities, offering a total of 4,301 and 1,084 booths, respectively.
Net revenues from special promotion event services decreased by 62.0% from RMB0.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023 to RMB0.2 million (US$31 thousand) in the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to a decreased number of activities as the change in the key customers resulted in a failure to continue cooperations.
Net revenues from referral service for a commercial bank decreased by 100.0% from RMB2.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023 to nil in the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily because we and the VIEs have ceased operation of the referral services since April 1, 2022.
Net revenues from our online marketing services decreased by 70.7% from RMB8.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023 to RMB2.6 million (US$0.4 million) in the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to the decrease in the live streaming events held by the Company as the change in the key customers resulted in a failure to continue cooperations.

3


Net revenues from others services decreased by 12.7% from RMB11.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023 to RMB9.6 million (US$1.3 million) in the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to the decrease in referral services.

Cost of Revenues

Our cost of revenues decreased by 70.5% from RMB33.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023 to RMB10.0 million (US$1.4 million) in the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to the following reasons.

Our venue set-up costs decreased by 77.9% from RMB8.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023 to RMB1.9 million (US$0.3 million) in the six months ended June 30, 2024, generally in line with the decreases in net revenues from auto show services.
Our venue rental costs decreased by 78.1% from RMB10.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023 to RMB2.3 million (US$0.3 million) in the six months ended June 30, 2024. Both are primarily due to a decrease in the number of auto shows we organized and set up from 183 in the six months ended June 30, 2023 to 63 in the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Our other direct costs decreased by 60.2% from RMB14.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023 to RMB5.7 million (US$0.8 million) in the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to a decrease in information acquisition costs in connection with our and the VIEs’ online marketing services.

Gross Profit

As a result of the foregoing, our gross profit decreased by 61.7% from RMB58.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023 to RMB22.4 million (US$3.1 million) in the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Operating Expenses

Our total operating expenses decreased by 38.5% to RMB69.8 million (US$9.6 million) in the first half of 2024 from RMB113.6 million in the same period of the prior year.

Our selling and marketing expenses decreased by 54.7% to RMB36.5 million (US$5.0 million) in the first half of 2024 from RMB80.7 million in the same period of the prior year, primarily due to a decrease in promotion expenses as a result of decreased volume of offline events.
Our general and administrative expenses increased by 2.6% to RMB24.3 million (US$3.3 million) in the first half of 2024 from RMB23.7 million in the same period of the prior year, primarily due to an increase in general and administrative staff compensation expenses, partially offset the decrease in allowance for doubtful accounts.
Our research and development expenses increased by 13.4% to RMB8.7 million (US$1.2 million) in the first half of 2024 from RMB7.7 million in the same period of the prior year, primarily due to an increase in research and development staff compensation expenses.
Impairment of long-lived assets decreased by 80.2% to RMB0.3 million (US$41 thousand) in the first half of 2024 from RMB1.5 million in the same period of the prior year, primarily due to a decrease in impairment in relation to right-of-use assets.

Operating Loss

As a result of the foregoing, our operating loss decreased by 14.0% from RMB55.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023 to RMB47.5 million (US$6.5 million) in the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Net Loss

As a result of the foregoing, we had net loss of RMB30.7 million and RMB40.7 million (US$5.6 million) in the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2024, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

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

As of June 30, 2024, we had RMB5.0 million (US$0.7 million) in cash and cash equivalents and RMB4.3 million (US$0.6 million) in restricted cash. As of the same date, we held a cash balance of RMB4.9 million (US$0.7 million) denominated in RMB, representing 97.6% of our total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash.

We have incurred recurring operating losses since our inception, including net losses of RMB30.7 million and RMB40.7 million (US$5.6 million) in the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2024, respectively. Net cash used in operating activities was RMB52.4 million and RMB11.1 million (US$1.5 million) in the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2024, respectively. Accumulated deficit was RMB1,273.8 million (US$175.3 million) as of June 30, 2024. As of June 30, 2024, we had a net current liability of RMB43.0 million (US$5.9 million). The company’s business encountered some difficulties, including weak economic growth of China and resignation of staffs, which negatively impacted the Group’s business operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and has continued to impact the Group’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern.

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

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

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

In the six months ended June 30, 2024, the difference between our cash used in operating activities and our net loss of RMB40.7 million (US$5.6 million) resulted primarily from (1) share-based compensation of RMB15.5 million (US$2.1 million), (2) a decrease in accounts receivable of RMB14.2 million (US$2.0 million), (3) an increase in prepayment and other current assets of RMB10.7 million (US$1.5 million) and (4) an increase in other current liabilities of RMB1.7 million (US$0.2 million), partially offset by (1) a decrease in salary and welfare benefits payable of RMB5.6 million (US$0.8 million), (2) gain on changes in fair value of warrant liability of RMB2.3 million (US$0.3 million), (3) other income on reverse of unpaid tax of RMB2.1 million (US$0.3 million), (4) reversed allowance of doubtful accounts of RMB1.6 million (US$0.2 million) and (5) a decrease in other taxes payable of RMB1.6 million (US$0.2 million).

Financing Activities

Net cash generated from financing activities was RMB7.2 million (US$1.0 million) in the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to RMB18.0 million (US$2.5 million) received from borrowings, partially offset by repayments of borrowings of RMB10.8 million (US$1.5million).

Net cash generated from financing activities was RMB3.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to RMB7.1 million received from short-term borrowings, partially offset by repayments of short-term borrowings of RMB3.7 million.

Indebtedness

As of June 30, 2024, the Group had borrowings of RMB25.9 million. The interest was payable on a monthly basis in the first three installments and payable on a monthly basis by equal principal and interest from the fourth installment.
