Mission

Our mission is to make fashion accessible to everyone.

Who We Are

We are a leading online fashion and lifestyle destination in China. We provide young people with a more accessible and enjoyable shopping experience for everyday fashion, particularly as they increasingly live their lives online. People shop not only to buy, but also for leisure, entertainment and to stay informed of the latest trends. Through innovative use of content, our platform provides a vibrant and dynamic community for people to discover and share the latest fashion trends with others, and offers our users a truly comprehensive shopping experience that is:

• Fun and engaging. Rich fashion content in different and engaging formats helps our users immerse themselves in the world of fashion. Our users can also share content and interact with other users through social features integrated across our platform.

• Personalized and relevant. Using technology and data, we tailor user experience by curating content that is most relevant to their tastes and preferences. We recommend the latest and most relevant content and products that they may like to purchase.

• Convenient and reliable. While our content makes fashion more relatable, embedded transaction links allow users to purchase the products that they are interested in from our merchants and brand partners quickly and easily. We also work with our merchants and brand partners to uphold the quality of products on our platform and to ensure the timely fulfillment of orders.

Our rich and diverse content distills styles and trends and guides our users along their shopping journey from discovery to purchase. This content mostly comes from our users, including a vibrant community of fashion influencers, as well as our in-house editorial team. Our highly engaging content comprises live video broadcasts, short-form videos, photographs, and articles covering topics including product reviews, fashion tips, brand fitting room, celebrity on-screen and street runway. Our platform features an extensive portfolio of live video broadcasts, where fashion influencers continuously promote and review products to our users and interact with their audience. In June 2018, we had live video broadcasts totaling approximately 3,500 hours on a daily basis. We also place links to products within our content to encourage and facilitate purchases. For example, when a user sees a certain item featured in a live video broadcast or a short-form video, or sees it recommended by a friend or fashion influencer through a like or share, the user can directly purchase that item.

Users access our platform primarily through mobile, including our flagship Mogujie app, as well as through our Mini Programs on Weixin. Through our strategic partnership with Tencent, one of our principal shareholders and the owner of Weixin and QQ, we also have one of the few dedicated Weixin Pay and QQ Wallet entryways that help direct Tencent’s massive base of users to our platform when they look to fulfill their fashion- and

1

lifestyle-related needs. Our highly engaged user base primarily consists of young females between the ages of 15 and 30. For the year ended March 31, 2018, we had an average of 65.2 million mobile MAUs on our platform. In June 2018, on average, a user who clicked the live video broadcasts on our platform spent over 35 minutes per day on watching our live video broadcasts. In determining the number of such users, if an individual actively uses multiple devices or accounts to access our live video broadcasts simultaneously, such individual would be counted as multiple “users” in calculating the above average time spent.

We are a technology-driven company that has relentlessly pursued the development of industry-leading AI and big data analytics capabilities to improve operational efficiency and user experience. Our user data is multi-dimensional as it relates to our users’ shopping behaviors, fashion tastes and purchasing history, which enables us to provide better and more personalized experience for them.

Our content-driven platform allows us not only to guide users through their entire shopping journey but also to generate revenues at multiple points. This in turn helps us provide online marketing services to our merchants and brand partners. We also receive commissions from our merchants for transactions completed through our platform. Our total GMV increased by 24.6% from RMB11.8 billion for the year ended March 31, 2017 to RMB14.7 billion for the year ended March 31, 2018, and by 29.3% from RMB3.1 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2017 to RMB4.1 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2018. Our total revenues for the years ended March 31, 2017 and 2018 were RMB1,109.9 million and RMB973.2 million (US$147.1 million), respectively. Our total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2018 were RMB264.6 million and RMB255.9 million (US$38.7 million), respectively. We incurred loss from operations of RMB1,071.3 million and RMB847.4 million (US$128.1 million) for the years ended March 31, 2017 and 2018, respectively. We incurred loss from operations of RMB202.7 million and RMB116.5 million (US$17.6 million) for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2018, respectively. Our net loss was RMB939.1 million and RMB558.1 million (US$84.3 million) for the years ended March 31, 2017 and 2018, respectively. Our net loss was RMB170.7 million and RMB122.7 million (US$18.5 million) for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2018, respectively. Our adjusted EBITDA was negative RMB403.5 million and negative RMB384.2 million (US$58.1 million) for the years ended March 31, 2017 and 2018, respectively, and our adjusted net loss was RMB476.1 million and RMB420.2 million (US$63.5 million) for the years ended March 31, 2017 and 2018, respectively. Our adjusted EBITDA was negative RMB71.3 million and negative RMB58.9 million (US$8.9 million) for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2018, respectively, and our adjusted net loss was RMB83.2 million and RMB74.9 million (US$11.3 million) for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2018, respectively.

Our Industry

Growth of mobile shopping. Young people in China have grown up using mobile internet and are increasingly spending more time on mobile internet for their social interaction, shopping, information sharing and entertainment, among others. According to iResearch, young people born between 1985 and 2009 spent an average of 4.8 hours a day on mobile internet in 2017 and this figure is expected to increase. Young females in particular are generally passionate about the latest fashion and beauty trends and used to online shopping. According to a survey conducted by iResearch in June 2018, or the Survey, approximately 2,500 young females of ages between 15 and 32 responded that they spent approximately 19.7% of their time on mobile internet for shopping. Additionally, young females in China tend to start shopping by first browsing fashion content online or with their friends before deciding what to buy. Online fashion content and social interaction help them discover what they want and influence their ultimate purchases.

Online Fashion Content: Driven by the growing availability and affordability of 4G networks, online fashion content has become more real-time and multi-dimensional. It has evolved from just articles and photographs to more interactive formats, such as short-form videos and live video broadcasts. Short-form videos present content and products to consumers in greater detail and are increasingly popular in China. Live video broadcasts allow more personal, real-time interactions between hosts and audience. These new formats are effective in helping consumers better understand the products, particularly whether they are suitable to them, and ultimately driving merchants’ sales.

Online fashion content and information are delivered through a variety of channels. Amongst these, dedicated fashion platforms typically have the most up-to-date information on fashion trends and styles. According to the Survey, Mogujie is well recognized in China as a leading fashion content platform for young people.

Content Monetization: Marketing and e-commerce are among the most common ways for monetizing online fashion content. According to the Survey, a majority of the respondents often made purchases because of the fashion content they viewed. They also prefer content platforms where they can buy directly once they have decided what to buy. The respondents appreciate Mogujie’s one-stop shopping capabilities that help bridge fashion content and purchase.

Marketing: According to iResearch, online fashion marketing expenditure in China reached approximately RMB190.6 billion (US$30.4 billion) in 2017 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 22.5% to RMB525.4 billion (US$83.8 billion) in 2022. New and diverse content formats also provide various opportunities to more naturally and seamlessly embed products. Embedded advertising has a stronger influence on consumers than traditional display- or search-based advertising. As a result, merchants are focusing more on the use of online content to tap into their target markets.

E-commerce: According to iResearch, the online penetration rate of fashion retail is expected to increase from 21.2% in 2017 to 32.5% in 2022. The GMV of China’s fashion e-commerce market was RMB2,546.2 billion (US$405.9 billion) in 2017 and is expected to further increase to RMB6,967.6 billion (US$1,110.8 billion) in 2022, representing a CAGR of 22.3% from 2017.

Our Challenges

We face risks and uncertainties in realizing our business objectives and executing our strategies, including those relating to our ability to:

• execute our monetization and other growth strategies effectively;

• anticipate and satisfy changing customer needs and preferences in a timely manner;

• promote our brands, including Mogujie, to enhance brand recognition;

• compete successfully against current or future competitors;

• ensure that the products and customer services provided on our platform are of high quality;

• maintain our user base and provide superior user experience;

• continue to maintain our strategic cooperation with our key partners; and

• manage and expand the relationships with merchants, brand partners and fashion influencers on our platform.

In addition, we face risks and uncertainties related to our corporate structure and doing business in China, including:

• the PRC government may deem that the contractual arrangements in relation to Hangzhou Juangua Network Co., Ltd. and Beijing Meilishikong Network and Technology Co., Ltd., our variable interest entities, or VIEs, do not comply with PRC regulatory restrictions on foreign investment in the relevant industries;

• we rely on contractual arrangements with our VIEs and their shareholders for substantially all of our business operations;

• we are a holding company that does not directly own our operations in China, and 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 there may be restrictions regarding the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to make dividend payments to us under PRC laws and regulations, such as the statutory requirement to set aside at least 10% of their respective after-tax profits each year to fund certain statutory reserve funds prior to making dividend payments;

• the shareholders of our VIEs may have potential conflicts of interest with us; and

• changes in China’s economic, political or social conditions or government policies could have a material and adverse effect on our business and operations.

In addition, you may also face risks involved in investing in the ADSs, including:

• there is no public market for our shares or the ADSs prior to this offering; and

• there could be volatility of the trading prices of the ADSs.

See “Risk Factors” and other information included in this prospectus for a discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties that we and you may face.

Corporate History and Structure

We launched our online fashion platform under the Mogujie brand in February 2011. Our holding company, MOGU Holdings Limited, was incorporated in the Cayman Islands in June 2011. MOGU Holdings Limited was subsequently renamed Meili Inc. in June 2016.

4

In June 2011, we incorporated MOGU (HK) Limited in Hong Kong. In July 2016, we renamed it Meili Group Limited, or Meili HK. In November 2011, Meili HK established a wholly-owned PRC subsidiary, Hangzhou Shiqu Information and Technology Co., Ltd., or Hangzhou Shiqu. In the same month, we obtained control over Hangzhou Juangua Network Co., Ltd., or Hangzhou Juangua, through Hangzhou Shiqu by entering into a series of contractual arrangements with Hangzhou Juangua and its shareholders.

In February 2016, we acquired Meiliworks Limited and its subsidiaries (including Meilishuo (Beijing) Network Technology Co., Ltd.) and consolidated affiliated entities, or Meilishuo, a leading online fashion platform in China, through a series of transactions. In the same month, we obtained control over Beijing Meilishikong Network and Technology Co., Ltd., or Beijing Meilishikong, which was incorporated in July 2010, through Hangzhou Shiqu by entering into a series of contractual arrangements with Beijing Meilishikong and its shareholders.

The following diagram illustrates our corporate structure, including our significant subsidiaries and consolidated affiliated entities, as of the date of this prospectus:

Notes:

(1) Messrs. Qi Chen, Yibo Wei and Xuqiang Yue, each a director and beneficial owner of the shares of our company, hold 58.67%, 23.62% and 17.71% equity interests in Hangzhou Juangua, respectively.

(2) Messrs. Qi Chen, Yibo Wei and Xuqiang Yue, each a director and beneficial owner of the shares of our company, hold 52.44%, 26.72% and 19.84% equity interests in Beijing Meilishikong, respectively. Mr. Yirong Xu, a beneficial owner of the shares of our company, holds the remaining 1.00% equity interests in Beijing Meilishikong.

Implication of Being an Emerging Growth Company

As a company with less than US$1.07 billion in revenue for our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” pursuant to the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, as amended, or the JOBS Act.

5

An emerging growth company may take advantage of specified reduced reporting and other requirements compared to those that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. These provisions include exemption from the auditor attestation requirement under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 in the assessment of the emerging growth company’s internal control over financial reporting. The JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company does not need to comply with any new or revised financial accounting standards until such date that a private company is otherwise required to comply with such new or revised accounting standards. We will rely on such exemption afforded by the JOBS Act.

We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of (a) the last day of the fiscal year during which we have total annual gross revenues of at least US$1.07 billion; (b) the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the completion of this offering; (c) the date on which we have, during the preceding three-year period, issued more than US$1.0 billion in non-convertible debt; or (d) the date on which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of our ADSs that are held by non-affiliates exceeds US$700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter. Once we cease to be an emerging growth company, we will not be entitled to the exemptions provided in the JOBS Act discussed above.

Enforceability of Civil Liabilities

We are an exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands. Substantially all of our operations are conducted in China, and substantially all of our assets are located in China. In addition, a majority of our directors and executive officers are nationals or residents of jurisdictions other than the United States and most of their assets are located outside the United States. The laws of the Cayman Islands and of the PRC may render you unable to enforce a judgment against our assets or the assets of our directors and executive officers. For more information regarding the relevant laws of the Cayman Islands and the PRC, see “Enforceability of Civil Liabilities.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We use adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net loss, each a non-GAAP financial measure, in evaluating our operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes.

We believe that adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net loss help identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of certain income or expenses that we include in loss from operations and net loss. We believe that adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net loss provide useful information about our operating results, enhance the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by our management in its financial and operational decision-making.

Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net loss should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to loss from operations, net loss or any other measure of performance or as an indicator of our operating performance. Investors are encouraged to review the historical non-GAAP financial measures to 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.

Adjusted EBITDA represents net loss before (i) interest income, gain on deconsolidation of a subsidiary, income tax benefits, investment gain and share of results of equity investee, and (ii) certain non-cash expenses, consisting of share-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets, depreciation of property and

13

equipment, and impairment of goodwill and intangible assets. The table below sets forth a reconciliation of our net loss to adjusted EBITDA for the years/periods indicated.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in our ADSs involves significant risks. You should consider carefully all of the information in this prospectus, including the risks and uncertainties described below, before making an investment in our ADSs. Any of the following risks could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In any such case, the market price of our ADSs could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry

Our limited operating history makes it difficult to evaluate our business prospects and future growth rate.

We have a limited operating history across some of our new business initiatives, including focusing our platform on the provision of fashion content in rich media formats and our emphasis on live video broadcasts and other engaging socially-oriented sales methods. As a result, our historical performance may not be indicative of our future growth or financial results. In addition, we cannot assure you that we will be able to achieve our expected growth rate, or at all, in the future. Our overall business growth may slow down or become negative, and our revenues may decline for a number of possible reasons, some of which are beyond our control, including decreasing consumer spending, increasing competition, declining growth of our overall market or industry, the emergence of alternative business models, changes in rules, regulations, government policies or general economic conditions. It is difficult to evaluate our prospects, as we may not have sufficient resources in addressing the risks to which companies operating in rapidly evolving markets may be exposed. If our growth rate declines, investors’ perceptions of our business and prospects may be materially and adversely affected and the market price of our ADSs could decline. You should consider our prospects in light of the risks and uncertainties that companies with a limited operating history may encounter.

If we are unable to execute our monetization and other growth strategies effectively, our business and prospects may be materially and adversely affected.

To maintain growth, we will need to, among other things, continue to strengthen our brand, grow our user base in a cost effective manner, enhance user experience, expand our content and product offerings, and strengthen our ability to successfully monetize our user base and products and services. However, we cannot assure you that we will be able to execute any of such strategies for monetization and business expansion successfully. We recorded net loss of RMB939.1 million and RMB558.1 million (US$84.3 million) for the years ended March 31, 2017 and 2018, respectively.

In addition, growth will require significant efforts and resources from our management. For instance, we need to manage and continue to manage our relationships with fashion influencers and merchants to ensure a sufficient and timely supply of quality content and products and to address the evolving needs of our users. Such new offerings may not achieve broad user acceptance, present new and difficult technological or operational challenges and subject us to claims if users are not satisfied with the quality of the content and products or do not have satisfactory experience in general. Also, we will need to manage our relationships with third-party service providers to ensure the efficient performance of our technology platform and continue to expand, train, manage and motivate our workforce. In addition, we will need to continue to improve our transaction processing, technological, operational and financial systems, policies, procedures and controls. All of these endeavors involve risks and will require significant management, financial and human resources. We cannot assure you that we will be able to implement our strategies successfully. If we are not able to achieve growth in our financials effectively, or at all, our business and prospects may be materially and adversely affected.

Any harm to our brand or failure to maintain and enhance our brand recognition may materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations.

We believe that the recognition and reputation of our brands among our users, fashion influencers and our merchants and brand partners are crucial to our business and competitiveness. Many factors, some of which are

15

beyond our control, are important to maintaining and enhancing our brands and may negatively impact our brands and reputation if not properly managed. These factors include our ability to:

• maintain superior shopping experience, particularly as user preferences evolve;

• maintain and grow our user base and keep our users highly engaged;

• maintain and grow our content offering and ensure access to content creators, including fashion influencers;

• maintain the popularity, attractiveness and quality of the content and products we offer;

• enhance our reputation and goodwill generally and in the event of any negative publicity on product quality, customer services, internet security, or other issues affecting us or our industry in China; and

• maintain our relationships with merchants, brand partners and other service providers.

Our business is subject to the changing needs and preferences of our users. A decline in the popularity of online shopping in general, or any failure by us to adapt our platform and improve the shopping experience of our users in response to fashion trends and users’ preferences may adversely affect our business and results of operations.

We offer products and content with a primary focus on providing a superior shopping experience. Our future growth depends on our ability to continue to attract new users as well as these users’ continued spending on our platform. The apparel market is cyclical and fashion trends and users’ purchasing needs and personal preferences are changing frequently. Consequently, we must stay abreast of fashion and lifestyle trends and respond to changes in the market and user preferences. Since our inception, we have been focused on developing new features and offerings on our platform to satisfy the ever-changing needs of our users. We have been actively tracking user traffic and feedback to identify trending content and encourage our fashion influencers to create content and our merchants to supply products that cater to users’ changing tastes. We have also been exploring new interfaces and functions of our mobile apps to prioritize fashion content offerings on our platform. However, these features and offerings are relatively new, do not have a long operating track record and may fail to be accepted by our users. They may also be rendered obsolete or unappealing by competition or developments in the industry. The long-term viability and prospects of our business model are subject to the changing user preferences and industry standards, making it difficult to assess our future prospects or forecast our future results. Any of these changes may require us to reevaluate our business model and adopt significant changes to our strategies and business plan. If we fail to adapt to these changes, continue to expand and diversify our content and product offerings, identify trends, or maintain the quality of our content and products, our users may lose interest in our platform and thus may visit our platform less frequently or even stop visiting our platform, which in turn may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We face intense competition. If we do not compete successfully against existing or new competitors, we may lose market share, users, fashion influencers and other business partners.

We face intense competition particularly on our e-commerce, fashion content and technology elements. Our current or potential competitors include major e-commerce platforms in China, major traditional and brick-and-mortar retailers in China and fashion and social media companies in China focused on fashion and lifestyle industries. In addition, we face competition from a wide range of content platforms in China. Our competitors may have longer operating histories, greater brand recognition, larger user and merchant bases or greater financial, technical or marketing resources than we do. Competitors may leverage their brand recognition, experience and resources to compete with us in a variety of ways, thereby increasing their respective market and mind shares. Some of our competitors may be able to secure more favorable terms from merchants, third-party service providers and other business partners, devote greater resources to marketing and promotional campaigns, adopt more aggressive pricing policies and devote substantially more resources to their platform and systems development than us.

16

There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully against current or future competitors, and such competitive pressures may have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Failure to compete successfully against existing or new competitors may cause us to lose market share, users, fashion influencers and other business partners. Any disputes with current or future competitors may lead us to public complaints or publicity campaigns against us, which may cause us to incur significant costs to defend against these activities and harm our business.

If we are unable to provide superior user experience, we may not be able to maintain or grow our user base or keep our users highly engaged. As a result, our revenues, profitability and business prospects may be materially and adversely affected.

The success of our business largely depends on our ability to provide superior user experience in order to maintain and grow our user base and keep our users highly engaged on our platform, which in turn depends on a variety of factors. These factors include our ability to continue to offer attractive and relevant fashion content in engaging formats and stylish products, source quality merchants to respond to user demands and preferences, maintain the quality of our products and services, provide reliable and user-friendly mobile application features for our users to browse for content and products, and provide high-quality customer service. If our users are not satisfied with our content, products or services, or our platform is severely interrupted or otherwise fail to meet our users’ requests, our reputation and user loyalty could be adversely affected.

Our merchants rely on third-party delivery service providers to deliver products to our users. Interruptions to or failures in the delivery services could prevent the timely or successful delivery of products purchased on our platform. These interruptions or failures may be due to unforeseen events that are beyond our control or the control of third-party delivery service providers, such as inclement weather, natural disasters or labor unrest. If products on our platforms are not delivered on time or are delivered in a damaged state, users may refuse to accept our products and have less confidence in our services. Any failure to provide high-quality delivery services to our users may negatively impact the shopping experience of our users, damage our reputation and cause us to lose users.

In addition, if users cannot obtain satisfactory customer services after they purchase products with us, our brand and user loyalty may be adversely affected. In addition, any negative publicity or poor feedback regarding our customer service may harm our brand and reputation and in turn cause us to lose users and market share.

As a result, if we are unable to continue to maintain our user experience and provide high-quality customer service, we may not be able to retain or attract users or keep them highly engaged with the fashion content and products we offer on our platform, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If we fail to maintain and expand our relationships with content creators, in particular fashion influencers, or if our fashion influencers fail to produce popular fashion contents, our revenues and results of operations will be harmed.

We rely on our content creators, in particular fashion influencers, to present popular fashion content on our platform and promote products that appeal to our existing and potential users. In addition, some of our major fashion influencers are also merchants on our platform and have contributed to our total GMV. We cannot assure you that we will be able to control, incentivize and retain major fashion influencers to provide popular fashion content and stimulate purchases on our platform. In addition, we may experience content creator attrition in the ordinary course of business resulting from several factors, such as losses to competitors and perception that our platform is ineffective as a monetization channel for content creators. If we fail to retain our major content creators or experience significant content creators attrition, or if we are unable to incubate and attract new content creators, our revenues and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

17

We and our fashion influences may terminate our cooperative relationships at any time. If any of our major fashion influencers decides not to continue cooperation with us, the popularity of our platform may decline and the number of our users may decrease, which could materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. In addition, we may have disputes with our fashion influencers with respect to their compliance with our content control policies and live video broadcast standards and the disciplinary measures that we take against them due to violation of these policies or failure to meet these standards from time to time, which may cause fashion influencers to be dissatisfied with our platform. If popular fashion influencers cease to contribute content to or curate products on our platform, or the fashion content provided by them fails to attract users, we may experience a decline in user traffic and user engagement, which may have material and adverse impact on our results of operations and financial conditions.

If we fail to observe the latest trends and timely and effectively guide our content creators, or if our content creators fail to identify fashion trends or produce popular fashion content, our users may view our platform less attractive and our financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

Any quality issues of the products offered by our merchants or brand partners or any negative publicity with respect to us, our fashion influencers, merchants and other partners, as well as the industry in which we operate, our business and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

Public perception that non-authentic, counterfeit or defective products are sold on our platform or that we or the merchants on our platform do not provide satisfactory customer services, even if meritless or unsuccessful, could damage our reputation, diminish the value of our brand, undermine the trust and credibility we have established and have a negative impact on our ability to attract new users or retain our existing users, and could divert our management’s attention and other resources from other business concerns. We may be required by laws and regulations to bear joint and several liability with merchants on our platform and other partners that we cooperate with if we are unable to provide the true names, addresses and valid contact information of such merchants or partners. We may also be required to adopt new or amend existing return and exchange policies from time to time. For example, pursuant to the amended PRC Consumer Protection Law, which became effective in March 2014, consumers are generally entitled to return products purchased from business operators over the internet within seven days upon receipt of the products. See “Regulation—Regulations on Consumer Protection.” Any significant claims against us could result in the use of funds and managerial efforts in defending them and could negatively impact on our reputation. If we are unable to maintain our reputation, enhance our brand recognition or increase positive awareness of our platform, products and services, it may be difficult to maintain and grow our user base.

In addition, adverse publicity about the industry in which we operate and the fashion influencers, merchants and other partners that we cooperate with could damage our reputation and brand image, undermine our users’ confidence in us and reduce the long-term demand for our content and products, even if such publicity is unfounded. As a result, we may fail to maintain and grow our user base and may experience significant declines in our revenue and user traffic from which we may not be able to recover and our business would be materially and adversely affected.

We may also be affected by publicity relating to third party service providers. For example, in September 2018, there was negative publicity involving certain senior officers of iResearch, the industry consultant we commissioned to prepare an industry report in connection with this offering. According to a public announcement made by iResearch, certain senior officers of iResearch are cooperating with governmental investigations in China. Such publicity may raise questions as to the integrity of the industry data or opinions produced by iResearch, including the data included in iResearch’s industry report produced in connection with this offering and cited by us in this prospectus, or otherwise have a negative impact on our reputation.

18

If we fail to manage and expand the relationships with merchants and brand partners on our platform, in particular the major merchants that contribute a significant portion of our GMV, or otherwise fail to cooperate with them at favorable terms, our business and growth prospects may suffer.

Our business depends on our ability to attract quality merchants and brand partners. Maintaining strong relationships with these merchants and brand partners is important to the growth of our business. We cannot assure you that our current merchants and brand partners will continue to cooperate with us on commercially attractive terms to us, or at all, after the term of the current agreements expire. If we lose any of these important merchants or brand partners, or if GMV generated from a significant merchant is substantially reduced due to, for example, increased competition, ineffectiveness of our advertisement solutions, a significant change in the business policy or operation of the relevant merchants or brand partners, any deterioration in our relationship with such merchants or brand partners, or significant delays in payments for our services, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected. Even if we maintain good relationships with our merchants and brand partners, they may be unable to remain in business due to economic conditions, labor actions, regulatory or legal decisions, natural disasters or other causes, in which event our business and result of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

Any negative developments in our relationships with merchants and brand partners could materially and adversely affect our business and growth prospects. If we fail to attract merchants and brand partners to offer products for users on our platform due to any reason, our business and growth prospects may be materially and adversely affected.

We generate a portion of our revenues from marketing services. If we fail to attract more marketing services customers to our platform or if marketing services customers are less willing to purchase services from us, our revenues may be adversely affected.

We generate a portion of our revenues from provision of marketing services to marketing services customers, including our merchants and brand partners. Our revenues from marketing services partly depend on the continual development of the online marketing industry in China and marketing services customers’ willingness to allocate budgets to online marketing. In addition, marketing services customers that decide to market and promote online may utilize more established methods or channels, such as more established Chinese internet portals or search engines, over marketing on our platform. If any of our current marketing methods or promotion activities becomes less effective or efficient or if our marketing services are not as satisfactory as our marketing services customers expect, we may lose our existing or fail to attract new marketing services customers. As a result, our ability to increase our marketing service revenues and our profitability and prospects may be materially and adversely affected. We recently embarked on a number of new business initiatives, including focusing our platform on the provision of fashion content in rich media formats and our emphasis on live video broadcasts and other engaging socially-oriented sales methods. Since these business initiatives have been implemented for a limited period of time and are not yet at scale, it is difficult for us to evaluate the effect, if any, they will bring to our financial prospects. As a result, we cannot reasonably predict the future trends of our marketing service revenues, our commission revenues or our total revenues.

A strategic partner provides services to us in connection with various aspects of our operations. If such services become limited, restricted, curtailed or less effective or more expensive in any way or become unavailable to us for any reason, our business may be materially and adversely affected.

We collaborate with Tencent, one of our principal shareholders, on various aspects of our business, including the entryways on its platform serving as one of the major access points to our platform, as well as services such as payment processing, marketing and cloud technology. If services provided by Tencent to us become limited, compromised, restricted, curtailed or less effective or become more expensive or unavailable to us for any reason, our business may be materially and adversely affected. Failure to maintain our relationship with Tencent could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations. In addition, we may

19

experience a decline in user traffic if Tencent’s platform becomes less popular, which may have a material and adverse impact on our results of operations and financial conditions.

If we are unable to conduct our brand promotion and marketing activities cost-effectively, our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected.

We have incurred expenses on a variety of different marketing and brand promotion efforts designed to enhance our brand recognition and increase sales from our platforms. Our marketing and promotional activities may not be well received by users and may not result in the levels of product sales that we anticipate. We incurred RMB692.7 million and RMB747.9 million (US$113.0 million) in sales and marketing expenses in fiscal years 2017 and 2018, respectively. Marketing approaches and tools in the consumer products market in China are evolving. This further requires us to enhance our marketing approaches and experiment with new marketing methods to keep pace with industry developments and user preferences, which may not be as cost-effective as our marketing activities in the past and may lead to significantly higher marketing expenses in the future. Failure to refine our existing marketing approaches or to introduce new effective marketing approaches in a cost-effective manner could reduce our market share, cause our net revenues to decline and negatively impact our profitability.

Any change, disruption, discontinuity in the features and functions of major social networks in China could severely limit our ability to continue growing our user base, and our business may be materially and adversely affected.

Our success depends on our ability to attract new users and retain existing users. We leverage social networks in China as a tool for user acquisition and engagement. For example, we leverage Weixin and QQ to enable users to share product information with their friends, family and other social contacts. A portion of our buyer traffic comes from such user recommendation or product sharing features. However, it is impracticable for us to accurately bifurcate and quantify the buyer traffic generated organically by our platform versus that through social networks, including Weixin. Buyer behavior under a variety of circumstances can make it difficult to identify the actual source of buyer traffic and a buyer’s path to making a purchase on our platform may involve both in-app activities, as well as usage of tools and services on social networks and associated access points.

To the extent that we fail to leverage such social networks, our ability to attract or retain users may be severely harmed. If any of these social networks makes changes to its functions or support unfavorable to us, or stops offering its functions or support to us, we may not be able to locate alternative platforms of similar scale to provide similar functions or support on commercially reasonable terms in a timely manner, or at all. Furthermore, we may fail to establish or maintain relationships with additional social network operators to support the growth of our business on economically viable terms, or at all. Any interruption to or discontinuation of our relationships with major social network operators may severely and negatively impact our ability to continue growing our user base, and any occurrence of the circumstances mentioned above may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Increases in costs borne by merchants on our platform due to the increase in labor costs in China and governmental policies may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Labor costs in China have risen in recent years due to development of labor laws and regulations. Rising labor costs in China will increase costs of the merchants on our platforms and may cause the third-party logistics and delivery service providers engaged by our merchants to charge higher fees for their products and services, which will restrict our merchants’ ability to offer attractive pricing for or maintain the quality of products offered on our platform, which in turn may cause us to lose users and negatively impact our profitability.

In addition, the PRC government and public advocacy groups have been increasingly focused on environment protection in recent years, making the apparel manufacturing and textile industries more sensitive to

20

environmental issues and changes in governmental policies associated with environment protection laws. Our results of operations and financial condition are dependent upon whether the merchants on our platform can offer quality products at attractive price, which in turn depends on the costs and supply of the key main raw materials used in producing the products. There are comprehensive environmental regulations and policies governing textile and fabric production and printing, as well as the apparel industry in general. Any environmental concern or issue could suddenly increase the costs of the raw materials used in the products on our platform. If merchants on our platform lower the quality of products offered to our users due to increased costs of raw materials, fail to offer high-quality products at attractive prices, or reduce the volume of products offered on our platform, our platform may become less competitive or appealing to our users and our business and results of operations would be harmed.

In addition, heightened regulatory and public concerns over consumer protection and consumer safety issues may subject us to additional legal responsibilities and increased scrutiny and negative publicity over these issues, due to the large number of transactions that take place on our platform on a daily basis and the increasing scope of our overall business operations. For example, our merchants are required to adhere to national health and safety standards in terms of the products offered on our platform. Failure to meet these standards could result in fines, suspension of operations, and in more extreme cases, criminal proceedings against our company and/or our merchants, and our business, results of operations and brand image would be negatively affected. Increasing public scrutiny over us, including complaints to regulatory agencies, negative media coverage, and malicious reports, may severely damage our reputation and materially and adversely affect our business and prospects.

If we fail to obtain and maintain the licenses, permits and approvals required or applicable to our business under the complex regulatory environment for our businesses in China, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

As the internet industry in China is still at a relatively early stage of development, new laws and regulations may be adopted from time to time to address new issues that come to the authorities’ attention. Considerable uncertainties still exist with respect to the interpretation and implementation of existing and future laws and regulations governing our business activities. We cannot assure you that we will not be found in violation of any future laws and regulations or any of the laws and regulations currently in effect due to changes in or discrepancies with respect to the relevant authorities’ interpretation of these laws and regulations. In addition, we may be required to obtain additional license or approvals, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to timely obtain or maintain all the required licenses or approvals or make all the necessary filings in the future. For example, Beijing Meilishikong, one of our PRC consolidated affiliated entities and the operator of the mobile app and website of Meilishuo, has obtained a valid license for the provision of Internet information services, or ICP License, but does not hold a license for the provision of online data processing and transaction processing services (for-profit e-commerce), or EDI License. We do not believe that an EDI License is required for Beijing Meilishikong because Meilishuo is substantially a display platform and does not engage in any online data processing or transaction processing business that would otherwise require an EDI License. In addition, as advised by our PRC legal counsel, we do not believe that our provision of sales promotion activities through live video broadcasts will be viewed as provision of internet audio-visual programs to the public which would require a license for providing internet audio-visual program services. We cannot assure you that the relevant PRC government authorities would agree with our conclusions. Should we be required to obtain additional licenses or approvals, we may not be able to do so in a timely manner or at all. If we fail to obtain or maintain any of the required licenses or approvals or make the necessary filings, or fail to obtain required licenses or approvals in a timely manner, we may be subject to various penalties, such as confiscation of the net revenues that were generated through the unlicensed internet activities, the imposition of fines and the termination or restriction of our operations. Any such penalties may disrupt our business operations or materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

21

The proper functioning of our internet platform is essential to our business. Any disruption to our IT systems could materially affect our ability to maintain the satisfactory performance of our platform and deliver consistent services to our users and merchants.

The proper functioning of our internet platform is essential to our business. The satisfactory performance, reliability and availability of our IT systems are critical to our success, our ability to attract and retain users and our ability to maintain and deliver consistent services to our users and merchants. However, our technology infrastructure may fail to keep pace with increased sales on our platform, in particular with respect to our new product and service offerings, and therefore our users may experience delays as we seek to source additional capacity, which would adversely affect our results of operations as well as our reputation.

Additionally, we must continue to upgrade and improve our technology infrastructure to support our business growth. However, we cannot assure you that we will be successful in executing these system upgrades, and the failure to do so may impede our growth. We currently use cloud services and servers operated by Tencent Cloud to store our data, to allow us to analyze a large amount of data simultaneously and to update our user database and user profiles quickly. Any interruption or delay in the functionality of Tencent Cloud may materially and adversely affect the operations of our business.

We may be unable to monitor and ensure high-quality maintenance and upgrade of our IT systems and infrastructure on a real-time basis, and users may experience service outages and delays in accessing and using our platform to place orders. In addition, we may experience surges in online traffic and orders associated with promotional activities and generally as we scale, which can put additional demand on our platform at specific times. Our technology or infrastructure may not function properly at all times. Any system interruptions caused by telecommunications failures, computer viruses, hacking or other attempts to harm our systems that result in the unavailability or slowdown of our platform or reduced order fulfillment performance could reduce the volume of products sold and the attractiveness of product offerings on our platform. Our servers may also be vulnerable to computer viruses, physical or electronic break-ins and similar disruptions, which could lead to system interruptions, website or mobile app slowdown or unavailability, delays or errors in transaction processing, loss of data or the inability to accept and fulfill buyer orders. Any of such occurrences could cause severe disruption to our daily operations. As a result, our reputation may be materially and adversely affected, our market share could decline and we could be subject to liability claims.

Our business generates and processes a large amount of data, and we are required to comply with PRC laws relating to cyber security. The improper use or disclosure of data could have a material and adverse effect on our business and prospects.

Our business generates and processes a large quantity of data. We face risks inherent in handling and protecting large volume of data. In particular, we face a number of challenges relating to data from transactions and other activities on our platforms, including:

• protecting the data in and hosted on our system, including against attacks on our system by outside parties or fraudulent behavior or improper use by our employees or users;

• addressing concerns related to privacy and sharing, safety, security and other factors; and

• complying with applicable laws, rules and regulations relating to the collection, use, storage, transfer, disclosure and security of personal information, including any requests from regulatory and government authorities relating to this data.

The PRC regulatory and enforcement regime with regard to data security and data protection is evolving. We may be required by Chinese governmental authorities to share personal information and data that we collect to comply with PRC laws relating to cybersecurity. All these laws and regulations may result in additional expenses to us and subject us to negative publicity which could harm our reputation and negatively affect the trading price of our ADSs. There are also uncertainties with respect to how these laws will be implemented in

22

practice. PRC regulators have been increasingly focused on regulation in the areas of data security and data protection. See “Regulation—Regulations on Cybersecurity and Privacy.” We expect that these areas will receive greater attention and focus from regulators, as well as attract continued or greater public scrutiny and attention going forward, which could increase our compliance costs and subject us to heightened risks and challenges associated with data security and protection. Although we collect personal information and data only with users’ prior consent and have adopted measures to protect the data security and minimize the risk of data loss, we cannot assure you that the measures we have taken are always sufficient and effective. If we are unable to manage these risks, we could become subject to penalties, fines, suspension of business and revocation of required licenses, and our reputation and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

Failure to protect confidential information of our users and network against security breaches could damage our reputation and brand and substantially harm our business and results of operations.

Orders for products we offer are made through our internet platform. In addition, online payments for our products are settled through third-party online payment services. Our merchants also share certain personal information about our users with third-party delivery service providers, such as their names, addresses, and phone numbers. In such cases, maintaining complete security for the transmission of confidential information on our platform, such as user names, personal information and billing addresses, is essential to maintaining user confidence.

We have adopted security policies and measures, including encryption technology, to protect our proprietary data and user information. We also maintain insurance against damages incurred by us resulting from user identity theft and subsequent fraudulent payments. However, advances in technology, the expertise of hackers, new discoveries in the field of cryptography or other events or developments could result in a compromise or breach of the technology that we use to protect confidential information. We may not be able to prevent third parties, especially hackers or other individuals or entities engaging in similar activities, from illegally obtaining such confidential or private information we hold as a result of our users’ visits on our internet platform. Such individuals or entities obtaining our users’ confidential or private information may further engage in various other illegal activities using such information. In addition, we have limited control or influence over the security policies or measures adopted by third-party providers of online payment services. The third-party delivery service providers our merchants use may also violate their confidentiality obligations and disclose or use information about our users illegally. Any negative publicity on our platform’s safety or privacy protection mechanism and policy could have a material and adverse effect on our public image and reputation. Any compromise of our information security or third-party service providers’ information security measures could have a material and adverse effect on our reputation, business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

Our reputation, business and result of operations would be adversely impacted by any counterfeit, unauthorized or infringing products sold on our platform that fail to meet the applicable legal requirements sold on our platforms.

Merchants on our platform and our brand partners are separately responsible for sourcing their products. Although we have adopted measures to verify the authenticity of products sold on our platform and to immediately remove any counterfeit products found on our platform, these measures may not always be successful. If we were to negligently participate or assist in infringement activities associated with counterfeit goods, failed to duly verify the qualifications or the licenses of the business operators on the platforms, or failed to duly perform our safety protection obligations with respect to goods or services that are pertinent to the life and health of consumers and provided via e-commerce platforms, potential sanctions under PRC law include injunctions to cease infringing activities, rectification, compensation, administrative penalties and even criminal liability, depending on the gravity of such misconduct. See “Regulation—Regulations on Consumer Protection” and “Regulation—Regulations on E-commerce.”

23

We believe our brand and reputation are extremely important to our success and our competitive position. If counterfeit products were sold on our platform or we were facing any administrative penalties against us due to products that failed to meet the applicable legal requirements, our reputation could be severely damaged and users may choose not to spend time on our platform. As a result, our business operations and financial results may be negatively affected.

Our business and operating results may be harmed by service disruptions, cybersecurity related threats or by our failure to timely and effectively scale and adapt our existing technology and infrastructure.

We have experienced, and may in the future experience, service disruptions, outages and other performance problems due to a variety of factors, including infrastructure changes and cybersecurity related threats as follows:

• our technology, system, networks and our users’ devices have been subject to, and may continue to be the target of, cyber-attacks, computer viruses, malicious code, phishing attacks or information security breaches that could result in an unauthorized release, gathering, monitoring, misuse, loss or destruction of confidential, proprietary and other information of ours, our employees or sensitive information provided by our users, or otherwise disrupt our, our users’ or other third parties’ business operations;

• the use of encryption and other security measures intended to protect our systems and confidential data may not provide absolute security, and losses or unauthorized access to or releases of confidential information may still occur;

• our security measures may be breached due to employee error, malfeasance or unauthorized access to sensitive information by our employees, who may be induced by outside third parties, and we may not be able to anticipate any breach of our security or to implement adequate preventative measures; and

• we may be subject to information technology system failures or network disruptions caused by natural disasters, accidents, power disruptions, telecommunications failures, acts of terrorism or war, computer viruses, physical or electronic break-ins, or other events or disruptions.

Any disruption or failure in our services and infrastructure could also hinder our ability to handle existing or increased traffic on our platform or cause us to lose content stored on our platform, which could significantly harm our business and our ability to retain existing users and attract new users.

As the number of our users increases and more content is generated on our platform, we may be required to expand and adapt our technology and infrastructure to continue to reliably store and analyze this content. It may become increasingly difficult to maintain and improve the performance of our services, especially during peak usage times, as our services become more complex and our user traffic increases. If our users are unable to access our online platform in a timely fashion, or at all, our user experience may be compromised and the users may seek other online fashion platforms to meet their needs, and may not return to us or use our platform as often in the future, or at all. This would negatively impact our ability to attract users and maintain the level of user engagement.

Tightening of tax compliance efforts that affect merchants on our platform could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

E-commerce in China is still developing, and the PRC government may require internet platforms with e-commerce functions to assist in the collection of taxes with respect to the revenue or profit generated by merchants from transactions conducted on their platforms. A significant number of merchants operating businesses on our platform may not have completed the required tax registration. PRC tax authorities may enforce registration requirements that target these merchants on our platform and may request our assistance in these efforts. As a result, these merchants may be subject to more stringent tax compliance requirements and liabilities and their business on our platform could suffer or they could decide to terminate their relationship with us rather than comply with tax regulations, which could in turn negatively affect us. We may also be requested by

24

tax authorities to supply information on our merchants, such as transaction records and bank account information, and assist in the enforcement of tax regulations, including the payment and withholding obligations against our merchants, in which case, we may lose existing merchants and potential merchants might not be willing to operate their business on our platform. Stricter tax enforcement by the PRC tax authorities may also reduce the activities by merchants on our platform and result in liability to us. Potential heightened enforcement against merchants on our platform (including imposition of reporting or withholding obligations on operators of marketplaces with respect to value-added tax of merchants and stricter tax enforcement against merchants generally) could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We do not have material tangible assets and have incurred, and may in the future incur, goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges. Significant impairment of our goodwill and intangible assets could materially impact our financial position and results of our operations.

We carry a significant goodwill balance on our balance sheet as a result of past business combination, but do not have any material tangible assets. We record goodwill in connection with the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable assets and the liabilities acquired in business combinations. Our goodwill accounted for approximately 33.5% and 43.8% of our total assets as of March 31, 2017 and 2018, respectively, as a result of historical business combinations. We are required to review our goodwill for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate evidence of impairment. The application of a goodwill impairment test requires significant management judgment. If our estimates and judgment are inaccurate, the fair value determined could be inaccurate and the impairment may not be recognized in a timely manner. If the fair value declines, we may need to recognize goodwill impairment in the future, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

In addition, we perform valuation of the intangible assets arising from business combination to determine the relative fair value to be assigned to each asset acquired. The intangible assets are expensed or amortized using the straight-line approach over the estimated economic useful lives of the assets. We had impairment of goodwill and intangible assets of RMB110.6 million and nil for the years ended March 31, 2017 and 2018, respectively. For further information, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Key Components of Results of Operations.” There can be no assurance that we will not be required to record additional impairments on goodwill and intangible assets in the future or that such impairments will not be material. Any significant impairment losses charged against our goodwill and intangible assets could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, our lack of material tangible assets may expose us to certain risks, including decreased ability to obtain debt financings or hedge against fluctuations in value of our intangible assets.

We have and may continue to invest in or acquire complementary assets, technologies and businesses, and such efforts may fail and have in the past, and may continue to, result in equity or earnings dilution.

We have in the past and may continue to invest in and acquire assets, technologies and businesses that are complementary to our business. Acquired businesses or assets may not yield the results we expect. In addition, acquisitions of assets and businesses have in the past, and may continue to, result in the use of substantial amounts of cash, potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities, significant amortization expenses related to intangible assets and exposure to potential unknown liabilities of the acquired businesses or assets. Moreover, the cost of identifying and consummating acquisitions, and integrating the acquired businesses or assets into ours, may be significant, and the integration of acquired businesses or assets may be disruptive to our business operations. In addition, we may have to obtain approval from the relevant PRC governmental authorities for the acquisitions and comply with any applicable PRC rules and regulations, which may be costly. Our financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected by our past and future acquisitions of assets or businesses.

25

We may be held liable for information or content displayed on, retrieved from or linked to our platform, or distributed to our users, and PRC authorities may impose legal sanctions on us, including, in serious cases, suspending or revoking the licenses necessary to operate our platforms.

Our fashion influencers engage in sales promotion activities through our live video broadcasts and they interact and exchange information with our users and generate and distribute content. However, because a majority of the communications on our platforms is conducted in real time, we are unable to verify the sources of all information posted thereon or examine the content generated by fashion influencers and users before they are posted. Therefore, it is possible that users may engage in illegal, obscene or incendiary conversations or activities, including the displaying or publishing of inappropriate or illegal information or content that may be deemed unlawful under PRC laws and regulations on our platform. If any information or content on our platform is deemed illegal, obscene or incendiary, or if appropriate licenses and third party consents have not been obtained, claims may be brought against us for defamation, libel, negligence, copyright, patent or trademark infringement, other unlawful activities or other theories and claims based on the nature and content of the information delivered on or otherwise accessed through our platform. We also may face liability for copyright or trademark infringement, fraud, and other claims based on the nature and content of the materials that are delivered, shared or otherwise accessed through or published on our platform. Defending any such actions could be costly and involve significant time and attention of our management and other resources. In addition, if it is found that we have not adequately managed the information or content on our platform, PRC authorities may impose legal sanctions on us, including, in serious cases, suspending or revoking the licenses necessary to operate our platform.

We may need additional capital, and financing may be not available on terms acceptable to us, or at all.

We believe our current cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for the next 12 months. We may, however, require additional cash resources due to changed business conditions or other future developments, including any marketing initiatives or investments we may decide to pursue. If these resources are insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements, we may seek to obtain a credit facility or sell additional equity or debt securities. The sale of additional equity securities could result in dilution of our existing shareholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could result in operating and financing covenants that would restrict our operations. It is uncertain whether financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

If our existing and new financing solutions do not achieve sufficient market acceptance, our operation and financial results will be harmed.

We have devoted significant resources to market our financing solutions for our users and merchants and enhance their market awareness. We also incur expenses and expend resources upfront to develop and market new financing solutions that incorporate additional features, improve functionality or otherwise make our products more desirable to users and merchants. New financing solutions for users and merchants must achieve high levels of market acceptance in order for us to recoup our investment in developing and bringing them to market. In addition, as our financing solutions are issued with fixed interest rates, the fluctuation of interest rates may affect the demand for our products. If we fail to respond to the fluctuations in interest rates in a timely manner and adjust our financing solutions accordingly, our users and merchants may show less interest in us and seek financing options from other channels. If our existing and new financing solutions fail to attain sufficient market acceptance, our competitive position, results of operations and financial condition could be harmed.

Our results of operations may be affected by seasonality and weather conditions.

The performance of our businesses is subject to seasonal fluctuations. For example, our revenues are relatively lower during the Chinese New Year period, which is typically in the fourth quarter of our fiscal year, when users tend to do less online shopping. Also, online sales in China are significantly higher in the fourth

26

quarter of each calendar year than in the preceding three quarters. Such sales seasonality pattern generally make us experience the strongest sales in our third fiscal quarter ending December 31. As a significant portion of our GMV relates to the sales of apparel on our platform, changes in weather pattern may also affect users’ needs in apparel and purchasing behaviors, and further lead to fluctuations in our revenues. As a result, we believe that comparisons of our operating results and net income over any interim periods in the past may not be an accurate indicator of our future performance.

Changes in our product mix may expose us to more risks.

Since our inception, we have focused on selling fashion apparel. We have expanded the product offerings on our internet platform to include selected categories of lifestyle and other complementary products. Changes in our product mix involve risks and challenges different from those of our existing product categories. Our lack of familiarity with and lack of relevant customer data relating to these products may make it more difficult for us to anticipate customer demand and preferences and to inspect and control quality and ensure proper handling, storage and delivery by our merchants. Our merchants may experience higher return rates on new products, receive more customer complaints about such products and face costly claims as a result of selling such products, which would harm our brand and reputation as well as our financial performance. We may also be involved in disputes with the merchants in connection with these claims and complaints.

As we broaden our product offerings, we may be required to obtain additional licenses or permits for the sales of certain new product mix on our platform and subject to additional regulations by the relevant PRC government authorities. There is no assurance that we will be able to acquire additional requisite licenses or permits or to comply with the relevant legal requirements. In addition, other product categories may have lower profit margins than our existing categories of apparel, and we may need to price aggressively to gain market share or remain competitive in any new categories, which may further reduce our profit margins.

Our users use third-party payment service providers to make payments on our platform. If these payment services are restricted or curtailed in any way or become unavailable to us or our users for any reason, our business may be materially and adversely affected.

Our users make payments through a variety of methods, including payment through our third-party online payment service partners, such as Weixin Pay, QQ Wallet and Alipay. We may also be subject to fraud, user data leakage and other illegal activities in connection with the various payment methods we offer. In addition, our business depends on the billing, payment and escrow systems of the third-party payment service providers to maintain accurate records of payments of sales proceeds by users and collect such payments. If the quality, utility, convenience or attractiveness of these payment processing and escrow services declines, or if we have to change the pattern of using these payment services for any reason, the attractiveness of our platform could be materially and adversely affected.

Business involving online payment services is subject to a number of risks that could materially and adversely affect third-party online payment service providers’ ability to provide payment processing and escrow services to us, including:

• dissatisfaction with these online payment services or decreased use of their services by users and merchants;

• increasing competition, including from other established Chinese internet companies, payment service providers and companies engaged in other financial technology services;

• changes to rules or practices applicable to payment systems that link to third-party online payment service providers;

• breach of users’ personal information and concerns over the use and security of information collected from buyers;

27

• service outages, system failures or failures to effectively scale the system to handle large and growing transaction volumes;

• increasing costs to third-party online payment service providers, including fees charged by banks to process transactions through online payment channels, which would also increase our costs of revenues; and

• failure to manage funds accurately or loss of funds, whether due to employee fraud, security breaches, technical errors or otherwise.

Certain commercial banks in China impose limits on the amounts that may be transferred by automated payment from users’ bank accounts to their linked accounts with third-party online payment services. We cannot predict whether these and any additional restrictions that could be put in place would have a material adverse effect on our platform. We may also be subject to various rules, regulations and requirements, regulatory or otherwise, governing electronic fund transfers and online payment, which could change or be reinterpreted to make it difficult or impossible for us to comply with.

In addition, we cannot assure you that we will be successful to enter into and maintain amicable relationships with online payment service providers. Identifying, negotiating and maintaining relationships with these providers require significant time and resources. They could choose to terminate their relationships with us or propose terms that we cannot accept. In addition, these service providers may not perform as expected under our agreements with them, and we may have disagreements or disputes with such payment service providers, any of which could adversely affect our brand and reputation as well as our business operations.

We may be subject to claims under consumer protection laws and may be subject to product liability claims if people or properties are harmed by the products sold on our platform.

Some of the products sold by the merchants on our platforms or our brand partners may be defectively designed or manufactured. As a result, sales of such products could expose us to product liability claims relating to personal injury or property damage and may require product recalls or other actions. Third parties subject to such injury or damage may bring claims or legal proceedings against us as a platform service provider. If we fail to provide the real names, addresses and valid contact details of our merchants in the event that consumers ask such information for compensation from the merchants or our brand partners, the consumers may also claim damages from us, or if we know or should have known that merchants on our platform use our platform to infringe upon the legitimate rights and interests of consumers but we fail to take necessary measures, we shall bear joint and several liability with the merchants. See “Regulation—Regulations on Advertising.” Currently, we do not maintain third-party liability insurance or product liability insurance in relation to products offered on our platform. Any material product liability claim or litigation could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Even unsuccessful claims could result in the use of funds and managerial efforts in defending them and could negatively impact on our reputation.

We may engage in acquisitions, investments or strategic alliances in the future, which could require significant management attention and materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations.

We may identify strategic partners to form strategic alliances, invest in or acquire additional assets, technologies or businesses that are complementary to our existing business. These investments may involve minority stakes in other companies, acquisitions of entire companies or acquisitions of selected assets.

Any future strategic alliances, investments or acquisitions and the subsequent integration of the new assets and businesses obtained or developed from such transactions into our own may divert management from their primary responsibilities and subject us to additional liabilities. In addition, the costs of identifying and consummating investments and acquisitions may be significant. We may also incur costs and experience

28

uncertainties in completing necessary registrations and obtaining necessary approvals from relevant government authorities in China and elsewhere in the world. The costs and duration of integrating newly acquired assets and businesses could also materially exceed our expectations. Any such negative developments could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.

If we are unable to maintain low delinquency rates for the financing solutions offered on our platform, our business and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected. Further, historical delinquency rates may not be indicative of future results.

We offer Bai Fu Mei, a financing solution with flexible repayment terms, to users on our platform, through which users can easily obtain small credits for their purchases of products on our platform after going through our streamlined application process. Loans that we make to consumers through Bai Fu Mei are collateralized by the accounts receivables related to the purchased goods. We also offer advanced payment collection service to merchants by collecting service fees based on the principal, to obtain funds from sale of goods upon shipment, rather than upon delivery to customers, which shortens the cash collection cycle for merchants. In addition, we also provide loans to merchants secured by their accounts receivables from customers through our VIEs’ subsidiary having factoring business qualification and charges a service fee based on the principal. The default rate for our internet financing solutions has historically been low. We may not be able to maintain low delinquency rates for the financing solutions offered on our platform, and such delinquency rates may be significantly affected by economic downturns or credit cycle associated with the volatility of general economy beyond the control of us, our users and merchants. If economic conditions deteriorate, we may face increased risk of default or delinquency of our users and merchants. If we cannot track the deterioration of the creditworthiness of our users and merchants, the criteria we use for the analysis of their credit profiles may be rendered inaccurate. As a result, we may not be able to accurately assess the credit profiles of them. If any of the foregoing were to occur, our results of operations, financial position and liquidity will be materially and adversely affected.

Our business depends substantially on the continuing efforts of our management. If we lose their services, we could incur significant costs in finding suitable replacements and our business may be severely disrupted.

Our business operations depend substantially on the continuing efforts of our management. If one or more members of our management were unable or unwilling to continue their employment with us, we might not be able to replace them in a timely manner, or at all. We may incur additional expenses to recruit and retain qualified replacements. Our business may be severely disrupted and our financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected. In addition, our management may join a competitor or form a competing company. We can provide no assurance that we will be able to successfully enforce our contractual rights included in the employment agreements we have entered into with our management team, particularly in China, where all these individuals reside. As a result, our business may be negatively affected due to the loss of one or more members of our management.

We rely on proper operation and maintenance of our mobile platform and internet infrastructure and telecommunications networks in China. Any deficiencies, malfunction, capacity constraint or operation interruption, any undetected programming errors or flaws or failure to maintain effective customer service could harm our reputation, impair our platform, and may have an adverse impact on our business.

Currently, a substantial majority of our sales of products are generated online through our mobile platform. Therefore, the satisfactory performance, reliability and availability of our mobile platform are critical to our success and our ability to attract and retain users. Our business depends on the performance and reliability of the internet infrastructure in China. The reliability and availability of our mobile platform depends on telecommunications carriers and other third-party providers for communications and storage capacity, including bandwidth and server storage, among other things. If we are unable to enter into and renew agreements with

29

these providers on acceptable terms, or if any of our existing agreements with such providers are terminated as a result of our breach or otherwise, our ability to provide our services to our users could be adversely affected. Access to internet in China is maintained through state-owned telecommunications carriers under administrative control, and we obtain access to end-user networks operated by such telecommunications carriers and internet service providers to give users access to our mobile platform. The failure of telecommunications network operators to provide us with the requisite bandwidth could also interfere with the speed and availability of our mobile platform. Service interruptions prevent users from accessing our mobile platform and placing orders, and frequent interruptions could frustrate users and discourage them from attempting to place orders, which could cause us to lose users and harm our operating results.

In addition, our platform and internal systems rely on software that is highly technical and complex, and depend on the ability of such software to store, retrieve, process and manage immense amount of data. The software on which we rely has contained, and may now or in the future contain, undetected programming errors or flaws. Some errors may only be discovered after the code has been released for external or internal use. Errors or other design defects within the software on which we rely may result in a negative experience for users using our platform, disruptions to the operations of our merchants, delay introductions of new features or enhancements, result in errors or compromise our ability to support effective user service and enjoyable user engagement. Any errors, bugs or defects discovered in the software on which we rely could result in harm to our reputation and loss of users, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial conditions.

We may be subject to intellectual property infringement claims, which may be expensive to defend and may disrupt our business and operations.

We cannot be certain that our operations or any aspects of our business do not or will not infringe upon or otherwise violate trademarks, patents, copyrights, know-how or other intellectual property rights held by third parties. We may be subject to legal proceedings and claims relating to the intellectual property rights of others. In addition, there may be other third-party intellectual property that is infringed upon by our products, services, merchants, the content displayed on our platform or other aspects of our business. There could also be existing patents or other intellectual property rights of which we are not aware that our products or content may inadvertently infringe. We cannot assure you that holders of the relevant intellectual property rights purportedly relating to some aspect of our technology platform or business, if any such holders exist, would not seek to enforce such intellectual property rights against us in China, the United States or any other jurisdictions. In addition, we strive to closely monitor the products offered on our platforms, and also require merchants on our platform to indemnify us for any losses we suffer or any costs that we incur in relation to the products offered by such merchants on our internet platform. However, we cannot be certain that these measures would be effective in completely preventing the infringement of trademarks, patents, copyrights, know-how or other intellectual property rights held by third parties. Further, the application and interpretation of China’s intellectual property right laws and the procedures and standards for granting trademarks, patents, copyrights, know-how or other intellectual property rights in China are still evolving and are uncertain, and we cannot assure you that PRC courts or regulatory authorities would agree with our analysis. If we are found to have violated the intellectual property rights of others, we may be subject to liability for our infringement activities or may be prohibited from using such intellectual property, and we may incur licensing fees or be forced to develop alternatives of our own. In addition, we may incur significant expenses, and may be forced to divert management’s time and other resources from our business and operations to defend against these third-party infringement claims, regardless of their merits. Successful infringement or licensing claims made against us may result in significant monetary liabilities and may materially disrupt our business and operations by restricting or prohibiting our use of the intellectual property in question.

30

We may not be able to prevent others from unauthorized use of our intellectual property, which could harm our business and competitive position.

We regard our trademarks, copyrights, patents, domain names, know-how, proprietary technologies, and similar intellectual property as critical to our success, and we rely on a combination of intellectual property laws and contractual arrangements, including confidentiality, invention assignment and non-compete agreements with our employees and others, to protect our proprietary rights. We are aware of certain copycat online platforms that attempt to cause confusion or diversion of traffic from us at the moment, against which we are considering initiating lawsuits, and we may continue to become an attractive target to such attacks in the future because of our brand recognition in the e-commerce industry in China. In addition, we notice that some third party is applying to register or has registered trademarks similar to ours in different classes of goods. These trademarks may have the same word element such as “ ” or “ ” and may potentially cause consumer confusion and compromise our reputation and brand recognition. However, we cannot be certain that these measures could be effective in defending against such copycat online platforms or third parties. Despite these measures, any of our intellectual property rights could be challenged, invalidated, circumvented or misappropriated, or such intellectual property may not be sufficient to provide us with competitive advantages. In addition, there can be no assurance that (i) our application for registration of trademarks, patents, and other intellectual property rights will be approved, (ii) any intellectual property rights will be adequately protected, or (iii) such intellectual property rights will not be challenged by third parties or found by a judicial authority to be invalid or unenforceable. Further, because of the rapid pace of technological change in our industry, parts of our business rely on technologies developed or licensed by third parties, and we may not be able to obtain or continue to obtain licenses and technologies from these third parties at all or on reasonable terms.

It is often difficult to register, maintain and enforce intellectual property rights in China. Statutory laws and regulations are subject to judicial interpretation and enforcement and may not be applied consistently due to the lack of clear guidance on statutory interpretation. Confidentiality, invention assignment and non-compete agreements may be breached by counterparties, and there may not be adequate remedies available to us for any such breach. Accordingly, we may not be able to effectively protect our intellectual property rights or to enforce our contractual rights in China. Policing any unauthorized use of our intellectual property is difficult and costly and the steps we take may be inadequate to prevent the infringement or misappropriation of our intellectual property. For example, third parties may register trademarks or domain names or purchase internet search engine keywords that are similar to our trademarks, brands or websites, or misappropriate our intellectual property or data and copy our platform, all of which could cause confusion to our users, divert online customers away from our content and products and harm our reputation. In the event that we resort to litigation to enforce our intellectual property rights, such litigation could result in substantial costs and a diversion of our management and financial resources, and could put our intellectual property at risk of being invalidated or narrowed in scope. We can provide no assurance that we will prevail in such litigation, and even if we do prevail, we may not obtain a meaningful recovery. In addition, our trade secrets may be leaked or otherwise become available to, or be independently discovered by, our competitors. Any failure in maintaining, protecting or enforcing our intellectual property rights could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We rely on assumptions and estimates to calculate certain key operating metrics, and real or perceived inaccuracies in such metrics may harm our reputation and negatively affect our business.

The number of mobile MAUs, active buyers and active merchants on our platform, as well as user time spent on our platform, are calculated using internal company data that has not been independently verified. While these numbers are based on what we believe to be reasonable calculations for the applicable periods of measurement, there are inherent challenges in measuring usage and user engagement across our large user base. We treat each device or account as a separate user for the purposes of calculating our active buyers, because it may not always be possible to identify people that use more than one device or have set up more than one account. Accordingly, the calculations of our active buyers may not accurately reflect the actual number of people using our platform.

31

Our measures of user growth and user engagement may differ from estimates published by third parties or from similarly titled metrics used by our competitors due to differences in methodology. If users, fashion influencers and merchants do not perceive our user metrics to be accurate representations of our user base or user engagement, or if we discover material inaccuracies in our user metrics, our reputation may be harmed and merchants and fashion influencers may be less willing to allocate their resources or spending to our platform, which could negatively affect our business and operating results.

We have granted, and may continue to grant, share options, restricted shares and other forms of share based incentive awards, which have resulted in and may continue to result in significant share based compensation expenses.

We adopted the Global Share Plan in 2011, which was amended in September 2016 and March 2018, for the purpose of granting share-based compensation awards to employees, directors and consultants to incentivize their performance and align their interests with ours. We refer to the Global Share Plan as the Plan in this prospectus. Under the Plan, the maximum aggregate number of shares which may be issued pursuant to all awards is 316,317,652 ordinary shares. As of the date of this prospectus, options to purchase 93,817,819 ordinary shares as well as 76,000,667 restricted share units are issued and outstanding under the Plan. We account for compensation costs for all share options using a fair value-based method and recognize expenses in our consolidated statement of income in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We believe the granting of share-based compensation is of significant importance to our ability to attract and retain key personnel and employees, and we will continue to grant share-based compensation to employees in the future. As a result, our expenses associated with share-based compensation may increase, which may have an adverse effect on our results of operations.

If we fail to implement and maintain an effective system of internal controls to remediate our material weakness over financial reporting, we may be unable to accurately report our results of operations, meet our reporting obligations or prevent fraud.

Prior to this offering, we have been a private company with limited accounting personnel and other resources with which to address our internal control over financial reporting. In connection with the audits of our consolidated financial statements included in this prospectus, we and our independent registered public accounting firm identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. As defined in the standards established by the U.S. Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, a “material weakness” is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

The material weakness that has been identified relates to our lack of sufficient financial reporting and accounting personnel with appropriate knowledge of U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting requirements to properly address complex U.S. GAAP accounting issues and to prepare and review our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures to fulfill U.S. GAAP and SEC financial reporting requirements. The material weakness, if not timely remedied, may lead to material misstatements in our consolidated financial statements in the future. Neither we nor our independent registered public accounting firm undertook a comprehensive assessment of our internal control for purposes of identifying and reporting material weaknesses and other control deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting. Had we performed a formal assessment of our internal control over financial reporting or had our independent registered public accounting firm performed an audit of our internal control over financial reporting, additional deficiencies may have been identified.

Following the identification of the material weakness and other control deficiencies, we have taken measures and plan to continue to take measures to remedy these control deficiencies. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.” However, the implementation of these measures may not fully address these deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting, and we cannot conclude that they have been fully remedied. Our failure

32

to correct these control deficiencies or our failure to discover and address any other control deficiencies could result in inaccuracies in our financial statements and impair our ability to comply with applicable financial reporting requirements and related regulatory filings on a timely basis. Moreover, ineffective internal control over financial reporting could significantly hinder our ability to prevent fraud.

Upon completion of this offering, we will become subject to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, or Section 404, requires that we include a report from management on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting in our annual report on Form 20-F beginning with our annual report for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2020. In addition, once we cease to be an “emerging growth company” as such term is defined in the JOBS Act, our independent registered public accounting firm must attest to and report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Our management may conclude that our internal control over financial reporting is not effective. Moreover, even if our management concludes that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, our independent registered public accounting firm, after conducting its own independent testing, may issue a report that is qualified if it is not satisfied with our internal controls or the level at which our controls are documented, designed, operated or reviewed, or if it interprets the relevant requirements differently from us. In addition, after we become a public company, our reporting obligations may place a significant strain on our management, operational and financial resources and systems for the foreseeable future. We may be unable to timely complete our evaluation testing and any required remediation.

During the course of documenting and testing our internal control procedures, in order to satisfy the requirements of Section 404, we may identify other weaknesses and deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting. In addition, if we fail to maintain the adequacy of our internal control over financial reporting, as these standards are modified, supplemented or amended from time to time, we may not be able to conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404. If we fail to achieve and maintain an effective internal control environment, we could suffer material misstatements in our financial statements and fail to meet our reporting obligations, which would likely cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information. This could in turn limit our access to capital markets, harm our results of operations, and lead to a decline in the trading price of our ADSs. Additionally, ineffective internal control over financial reporting could expose us to increased risk of fraud or misuse of corporate assets and subject us to potential delisting from the stock exchange on which we list, regulatory investigations and civil or criminal sanctions. We may also be required to restate our financial statements for prior periods.

We have limited insurance coverage which could expose us to significant costs and business disruption.

We believe we have obtained a prudent amount of insurance for the insurable risks relating to our business. However, there is no assurance that the insurance policies we maintain are sufficient to cover our business operations. If we were to incur substantial liabilities that were not covered by our insurance, we could incur costs and losses that could materially and adversely affect our results of operations.

Our business, financial condition and results of operations depend on the level of consumer confidence and spending in China and may be adversely affected by the downturn in the global or Chinese economy.

Our business, financial condition and results of operations are sensitive to changes in overall economic conditions that affect consumer spending in China. The retail industry, including the online retail sector, is highly sensitive to general economic changes. Online purchases tend to decline significantly during recessionary periods. Many factors outside of our control, including inflation and deflation, interest rates, volatility of equity and debt securities markets, taxation rates, employment and other government policies can adversely affect consumer confidence and spending. While the economy in China has grown significantly over the past decades, growth has been uneven, both geographically and among various sectors of the economy, and the rate of growth has been slowing. The online retail industry is particularly sensitive to economic downturns, and the

33

macroeconomic environment in China may affect our business and prospects. A prolonged slowdown in the global or Chinese economy may lead to a reduced level of online purchasing activities, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

In addition, the domestic and international political environments, including military conflicts and political turmoil or social instability, may also adversely affect consumer confidence and reduce spending, which could in turn materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We face risks related to natural disasters, health epidemics and other outbreaks, which could significantly disrupt our operations.

We are vulnerable to natural disasters and other calamities. Fire, floods, typhoons, earthquakes, power loss, telecommunications failures, break-ins, war, riots, terrorist attacks or similar events may give rise to server interruptions, breakdowns, system failures or internet failures, which could cause the loss or corruption of data or malfunctions of software or hardware as well as adversely affect our ability to provide our services.

Our business could also be adversely affected by the effects of Ebola virus disease, H1N1 flu, H7N9 flu, avian flu, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, or SARS, or other epidemics. Our business operations could be disrupted if any of our employees is suspected of having Ebola virus disease, H1N1 flu, H7N9 flu, avian flu, SARS or other epidemic, since it could require our employees to be quarantined and/or our offices to be disinfected. In addition, our results of operations could be adversely affected to the extent that any of these epidemics harms the Chinese economy in general.

Risks Related to Our Corporate Structure

If the PRC government finds that the agreements that establish the structure for operating certain of our operations in China do not comply with PRC regulations relating to the relevant industries, or if these regulations or the interpretation of existing regulations change in the future, we could be subject to severe penalties or be forced to relinquish our interests in those operations.

Foreign ownership of telecommunication businesses and certain other businesses, such as provision of internet video and online games, is subject to restrictions under current PRC laws and regulations. Specifically, foreign ownership of an internet information service provider may not exceed 50%, and the major foreign investor is required to have a record of good performance and operating experience in managing value-added telecommunications business. We are a company registered in the Cayman Islands. Hangzhou Shiqu is our PRC subsidiary and a wholly foreign-owned enterprise under PRC laws. To comply with PRC laws and regulations, we conduct our business in China through Hangzhou Juangua and Beijing Meilishikong, our consolidated affiliated entities, and their respective subsidiaries, based on a series of contractual arrangements by and among Hangzhou Shiqu, our consolidated affiliated entities and their respective shareholders. For a description of these contractual arrangements, see “Corporate History and Structure.” As a result of these contractual arrangements, we exert control over our consolidated affiliated entities and consolidate their financial results in our financial statements under U.S. GAAP.

In the opinion of our PRC counsel, Grandall Law Firm (Shanghai), (i) the ownership structure of Hangzhou Shiqu and our consolidated affiliated entities in China does not result in any violation of PRC laws and regulations currently in effect; and (ii) the contractual arrangements between Hangzhou Shiqu, our consolidated affiliated entities and their respective shareholders governed by PRC law will not result in any violation of PRC laws or regulations currently in effect. However, we have been further advised by our PRC counsel that there are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of current or future PRC laws and regulations. Thus, the PRC government may ultimately take a view contrary to the opinion of our PRC counsel. If the PRC government otherwise find that we are in violation of any existing or future PRC laws or regulations

34

or lack the necessary permits or licenses to operate our business, the relevant governmental authorities would have broad discretion in dealing with such violation, including, without limitation:

• revoking the business licenses and/or operating licenses of such entities;

• imposing fines on us;

• confiscating any of our income that they deem to be obtained through illegal operations;

• terminating or placing restrictions or onerous conditions on our operations;

• placing restrictions on our right to collect revenues; and

• shutting down our servers or blocking our mobile apps and websites.

Any of these events could cause significant disruption to our business operations and severely damage our reputation, which would in turn materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. If occurrences of any of these events results in our inability to direct the activities of our consolidated affiliated entity in China that most significantly impact their economic performance, and/or our failure to receive the economic benefits from our consolidated affiliated entities, we may not be able to consolidate the entities in our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

We rely on contractual arrangements with our consolidated affiliated entities and their respective shareholders for our business operations, which may not be as effective as direct ownership in providing operational control.

We have relied and expect to continue to rely on contractual arrangements with consolidated affiliated entity and its shareholders to operate our business in China. These contractual arrangements may not be as effective as direct ownership in providing us with control over our consolidated affiliated entities. For example, our consolidated affiliated entities and their respective shareholders could breach their contractual arrangements with us by, among other things, failing to conduct their operations in an acceptable manner or taking other actions that are detrimental to our interests.

If we had direct ownership of our consolidated affiliated entity in China, we would be able to exercise our rights as a shareholder to effect changes in the board of directors of our consolidated affiliated entities, which in turn could implement changes, subject to any applicable fiduciary obligations, at the management and operational level. However, under the current contractual arrangements, we rely on the performance by our consolidated affiliated entities and their respective shareholders of their obligations under the contracts to exercise control over our consolidated affiliated entities. The shareholders of our consolidated affiliated entities may not act in the best interests of our company or may not perform their obligations under these contracts. Such risks exist throughout the period in which we intend to operate certain portion of our business through the contractual arrangements with our consolidated affiliated entities. If any dispute relating to these contracts remains unresolved, we will have to enforce our rights under these contracts through the operations of PRC law and arbitration, litigation and other legal proceedings and therefore will be subject to uncertainties in the PRC legal system. See “—Any failure by our consolidated affiliated entity or its shareholders to perform their obligations under our contractual arrangements with them would have a material and adverse effect on our business.” Therefore, our contractual arrangements with our consolidated affiliated entity may not be as effective in ensuring our control over the relevant portion of our business operations as direct ownership would be.

Any failure by our consolidated affiliated entities or their shareholders to perform their obligations under our contractual arrangements with them would have a material and adverse effect on our business.

If our consolidated affiliated entities or their shareholders fail to perform their respective obligations under the contractual arrangements, we may have to incur substantial costs and expend additional resources to enforce such arrangements. We may also have to rely on legal remedies under PRC law, including seeking specific

35

performance or injunctive relief, and contractual remedies, which we cannot assure you will be sufficient or effective under PRC law. For example, if the shareholders of any of our consolidated affiliated entities were to refuse to transfer their equity interests in our consolidated affiliated entity to us or our designee if we exercise the purchase option pursuant to these contractual arrangements, or if they were otherwise to act in bad faith toward us, then we may have to take legal actions to compel them to perform their contractual obligations.

All the agreements under our contractual arrangements are governed by PRC law and provide for the resolution of disputes through arbitration in China. Accordingly, these contracts would be interpreted in accordance with PRC law and any disputes would be resolved in accordance with PRC legal procedures. The legal system in the PRC is not as developed as in some other jurisdictions, such as the United States. As a result, uncertainties in the PRC legal system could limit our ability to enforce these contractual arrangements. Meanwhile, there are very few precedents and little formal guidance as to how contractual arrangements in the context of a consolidated affiliated entity should be interpreted or enforced under PRC law. There remain significant uncertainties regarding the ultimate outcome of such arbitration should legal action become necessary. In addition, under PRC law, rulings by arbitrators are final, parties cannot appeal the arbitration results in courts, and if the losing parties fail to carry out the arbitration awards within a prescribed time limit, the prevailing parties may only enforce the arbitration awards in PRC courts through arbitration award recognition proceedings, which would require additional expenses and delay. In the event we are unable to enforce these contractual arrangements, or if we suffer significant delay or other obstacles in the process of enforcing these contractual arrangements, we may not be able to exert effective control over our consolidated affiliated entities, and our ability to conduct our business may be negatively affected. See “—Risks Related to Doing Business in China—Uncertainties with respect to the PRC legal system could adversely affect us.”

The shareholders of our consolidated affiliated entities may have potential conflicts of interest with us, which may materially and adversely affect our business and financial condition.

The shareholders of our consolidated variable entities include Messrs. Qi Chen, Yibo Wei and Xuqiang Yue, who are also our shareholders, and our directors or officers. Conflicts of interest may arise between the roles of them as shareholders, directors or officers of our company and as shareholders of our consolidated affiliated entities. For individuals who are also our directors and officers, we rely on them to abide by the laws of the Cayman Islands, which provide that directors and officers owe fiduciary duties to our company, including duties to act in good faith and in the best interest of our company and not to use their positions for personal gain. The shareholders of our consolidated affiliated entities have executed powers of attorney to appoint Hangzhou Shiqu or a person designated by Hangzhou Shiqu to vote on their behalf and exercise voting rights as shareholders of our consolidated affiliated entities. We cannot assure you that when conflicts arise, these shareholders will act in the best interest of our company or that conflicts will be resolved in our favor. If we cannot resolve any conflicts of interest or disputes between us and these shareholders, we would have to rely on legal proceedings, which may be expensive, time-consuming and disruptive to our operations. There is also substantial uncertainty as to the outcome of any such legal proceedings.

Contractual arrangements in relation to our consolidated affiliated entities may be subject to scrutiny by the PRC tax authorities and they may determine that we or our PRC consolidated affiliated entity owes additional taxes, which could negatively affect our financial condition and the value of your investment.

Under applicable PRC laws and regulations, arrangements and transactions among related parties may be subject to audit or challenge by the PRC tax authorities within ten years after the taxable year when the transactions are conducted. We could face material and adverse tax consequences if the PRC tax authorities determine that the contractual arrangements in relation to our consolidated affiliated entities were not entered into on an arm’s length basis in such a way as to result in an impermissible reduction in taxes under applicable PRC laws, rules and regulations, and adjust income of our consolidated affiliated entities in the form of a transfer pricing adjustment. A transfer pricing adjustment could, among other things, result in a reduction of expense deductions recorded by our consolidated affiliated entities for PRC tax purposes, which could in turn increase its

36

tax liabilities without reducing our PRC subsidiary’s tax expenses. In addition, the PRC tax authorities may impose late payment fees and other penalties on our consolidated affiliated entities for the adjusted but unpaid taxes according to the applicable regulations. Our financial position could be materially and adversely affected if our affiliated entities’ tax liabilities increase or if it is required to pay late payment fees and other penalties.

We may lose the ability to use and enjoy assets held by our consolidated affiliated entities that are material to the operation of certain portion of our business if the entity goes bankrupt or becomes subject to a dissolution or liquidation proceeding.

As part of our contractual arrangements with our consolidated affiliated entities, the entity holds certain assets that are material to the operation of certain portion of our business, including permits, domain names and most of our IP rights. If any of our consolidated affiliated entity goes bankrupt and all or part of its assets become subject to liens or rights of third-party creditors, we may be unable to continue some or all of our business activities, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Under the contractual arrangements, our consolidated affiliated entities may not, in any manner, sell, transfer, mortgage or dispose of its assets or legal or beneficial interests in the business without our prior consent. If our consolidated affiliated entity undergo a voluntary or involuntary liquidation proceeding, the independent third-party creditors may claim rights to some or all of these assets, thereby hindering our ability to operate our business, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Substantial uncertainties exist with respect to the enactment timetable, interpretation and implementation of draft PRC Foreign Investment Law and how it may impact the viability of our current corporate structure, corporate governance and business operations.

In January 2015, the Ministry of Commerce, or MOFCOM, published a discussion draft of the Foreign Investment Law for public review and comment. The Draft Foreign Investment Law proposes an expected PRC regulatory trend to rationalize its foreign investment regulatory regime in line with prevailing international practice and the legislative efforts to unify the corporate legal requirements for both foreign and domestic investments and, when implemented, may have a significant impact on businesses in China controlled by foreign invested enterprises primarily through contractual arrangements, such as our business. Among other things, the draft Foreign Investment Law expands the definition of foreign investment and introduces the principle of “actual control” in determining whether a company should be treated as a foreign invested enterprise, or FIE. It specifically provides that entities established in China (without direct foreign equity ownership) but “controlled” by foreign investors, through contract or trust for example, will be treated as FIEs. Once an entity falls within the definition of FIE, it may be subject to foreign investment “restrictions” or “prohibitions” set forth in a “negative list” to be separately issued by the State Council later. If an FIE proposes to conduct business in an industry subject to foreign investment “restrictions” in the “negative list,” the FIE must go through a pre-approval process.

MOFCOM solicited comments on the Draft Foreign Investment Law in 2015, but no new draft has been published since then. Substantial uncertainties exist with respect to the enactment timetable and final content of the draft Foreign Investment Law. Certain business activities that we conduct through our consolidated affiliated entities are subject to foreign investment restrictions set forth in the Guidance Catalog of Industries for Foreign Investment (2017 Revision) issued by MOFCOM and the National Development and Reform Commission. See “Regulation—Regulations on Foreign Investment in the Value-added Telecommunications Industry.” If the enacted version of the Foreign Investment Law and the final “negative list” mandate further actions to be taken by us, such as a pre-approval process, there is no assurance that we can obtain such pre-approval on a timely basis, or at all.

We may rely on dividends paid by our PRC subsidiaries to fund cash and financing requirements. Any limitation on the ability of our PRC subsidiary to pay dividends to us could have a material adverse effect

37

on our ability to conduct our business and to pay dividends to holders of the ADSs and our ordinary shares.

We are a holding company, and we may rely on dividends to be paid by our PRC subsidiaries for our cash and financing requirements, including the funds necessary to pay dividends and other cash distributions to the holders of the ADSs and our ordinary shares and service any debt we may incur. If our PRC subsidiaries incur debt on their own behalf in the future, the instruments governing the debt may restrict their ability to pay dividends or make other distributions to us.

Under PRC laws and regulations, wholly foreign-owned enterprises in the PRC, such as Hangzhou Shiqu and Meilishuo Beijing, may pay dividends only out of their accumulated profits as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. In addition, a wholly foreign-owned enterprise is required to set aside at least 10% of its after-tax profits each year, after making up previous years’ accumulated losses, if any, to fund certain statutory reserve funds, until the aggregate amount of such a fund reaches 50% of its registered capital. At the discretion of the board of directors of the wholly foreign-owned enterprise, it may allocate a portion of its after-tax profits based on PRC accounting standards to staff welfare and bonus funds. These reserve funds and staff welfare and bonus funds are not distributable as cash dividends. Any limitation on the ability of our wholly-owned PRC subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other distributions to us could materially and adversely limit our ability to grow, make investments or acquisitions that could be beneficial to our business, pay dividends, or otherwise fund and conduct our business.

Risks Related to Doing Business in China

Changes in China’s economic, political or social conditions or government policies could have a material adverse effect on our business and operations.

Our revenues are all sourced from China. Accordingly, our results of operations, financial condition and prospects are influenced by economic, political and legal developments in China. Economic reforms begun in the late 1970s have resulted in significant economic growth. However, any economic reform policies or measures in China may from time to time be modified or revised. China’s economy differs from the economies of most developed countries in many respects, including with respect to the amount of government involvement, level of development, growth rate, control of foreign exchange and allocation of resources. While the PRC economy has experienced significant growth in the past 30 years, growth has been uneven across different regions and among different economic sectors.

The PRC government exercises significant control over China’s economic growth through strategically allocating resources, controlling the payment of foreign currency-denominated obligations, setting monetary policy and providing preferential treatment to particular industries or companies. Although the PRC economy has grown significantly in the past decade, that growth may not continue, as evidenced by the slowing of the growth of the PRC economy since 2012. Any adverse changes in economic conditions in China, in the policies of the PRC government or in the laws and regulations in China could have a material adverse effect on the overall economic growth of China. Such developments could adversely affect our business and operating results, lead to reduction in demand for our services and adversely affect our competitive position.

Uncertainties with respect to the PRC legal system could adversely affect us.

The PRC legal system is based on written statutes and court decisions have limited precedential value. The PRC legal system is evolving rapidly, and the interpretations of many laws, regulations and rules may contain inconsistencies and enforcement of these laws, regulations and rules involves uncertainties.

From time to time, we may have to resort to administrative and court proceedings to enforce our legal rights. However, since PRC judicial and administrative authorities have significant discretion in interpreting and implementing statutory and contractual terms, it may be more difficult to predict the outcome of a judicial or

38

administrative proceeding than in more developed legal systems. Furthermore, the PRC legal system is based, in part, on government policies and internal rules, some of which are not published in a timely manner, or at all, but which may have retroactive effect. As a result, we may not always be aware of any potential violation of these policies and rules. Such unpredictability towards our contractual, property (including intellectual property) and procedural rights could adversely affect our business and impede our ability to continue our operations.

Fluctuations in exchange rates could have a material and adverse effect on our results of operations and the value of your investment.

The value of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar and other currencies is affected by changes in China’s political and economic conditions and China’s foreign exchange policies, among other things. In 2005, the PRC government changed its decades-old policy of pegging the value of the Renminbi to the U.S. dollar, and the Renminbi appreciated more than 20% against the U.S. dollar over the following three years. Between July 2008 and June 2010, this appreciation halted and the exchange rate between Renminbi and the U.S. dollar remained within a narrow band. Since June 2010, Renminbi has fluctuated against the U.S. dollar, at times significantly and unpredictably. With the development of the foreign exchange market and progress towards interest rate liberalization and Renminbi internationalization, the PRC government may in the future announce further changes to the exchange rate system and we cannot assure you that Renminbi will not appreciate or depreciate significantly in value against the U.S. dollar in the future. It is difficult to predict how market forces or PRC or U.S. government policy may impact the exchange rate between Renminbi and the U.S. dollar in the future.

Significant revaluation of the Renminbi may have a material and adverse effect on your investment. For example, to the extent that we need to convert U.S. dollars we receive from this offering into Renminbi for our operations, appreciation of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar would have an adverse effect on the Renminbi amount we would receive from the conversion. Conversely, if we decide to convert our Renminbi into U.S. dollars for the purpose of making payments for dividends on our ordinary shares or ADSs or for other business purposes, appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the Renminbi would have a negative effect on the U.S. dollar amount available to us.

Very limited hedging options are available in China to reduce our exposure to exchange rate fluctuations. To date, we have not entered into any material hedging transactions in an effort to reduce our exposure to foreign currency exchange risk. While we may decide to enter into hedging transactions in the future, the availability and effectiveness of these hedges may be limited and we may not be able to adequately hedge our exposure or at all. In addition, our currency exchange losses may be magnified by PRC exchange control regulations that restrict our ability to convert Renminbi into foreign currency.

Governmental control of currency conversion may limit our ability to utilize our revenues effectively and affect the value of your investment.

The PRC government imposes controls on the convertibility of the Renminbi into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency out of China. We receive substantially all of our revenues in Renminbi. Under our current corporate structure, our Cayman Islands holding company may rely on dividend payments from our PRC subsidiaries to fund any cash and financing requirements we may have. Under existing PRC foreign exchange regulations, payments of current account items, including profit distributions, interest payments and trade and service-related foreign exchange transactions, can be made in foreign currencies without prior approval of SAFE by complying with certain procedural requirements. Specifically, under the existing exchange restrictions, without prior approval of SAFE, cash generated from the operations of our PRC subsidiaries in China may be used to pay dividends to our company. However, approval from or registration with appropriate government authorities is required where Renminbi is to be converted into foreign currency and remitted out of China to pay capital expenses such as the repayment of loans denominated in foreign currencies. As a result, we need to obtain SAFE approval to use cash generated from the operations of our PRC subsidiaries and consolidated affiliated entities to pay off their respective debt in a currency other than Renminbi owed to entities outside China, or to make other capital expenditure payments outside China in a currency other than Renminbi.

39

In light of the flood of capital outflows of China in 2016 due to the weakening RMB, the PRC government has imposed more restrictive foreign exchange policies and stepped up scrutiny of major outbound capital movement including overseas direct investment. More restrictions and substantial vetting process are put in place by SAFE to regulate cross-border transactions falling under the capital account. If any of our shareholders regulated by such policies fails to satisfy the applicable overseas direct investment filing or approval requirement timely or at all, it may be subject to penalties from the relevant PRC authorities. The PRC government may at its discretion further restrict access in the future to foreign currencies for current account transactions. If the foreign exchange control system prevents us from obtaining sufficient foreign currencies to satisfy our foreign currency demands, we may not be able to pay dividends in foreign currencies to our shareholders, including holders of our ADSs.

The M&A Rules and certain other PRC regulations establish complex procedures for some acquisitions of Chinese companies by foreign investors, which could make it more difficult for us to pursue growth through acquisitions in China.

The Regulations on Mergers and Acquisitions of Domestic Companies by Foreign Investors, or the M&A Rules, adopted by six PRC regulatory agencies in 2006 and amended in 2009, and some other regulations and rules concerning mergers and acquisitions established additional procedures and requirements that could make merger and acquisition activities by foreign investors more time consuming and complex, including requirements in some instances that the Ministry of Commerce, or the MOC, be notified in advance of any change-of-control transaction in which a foreign investor takes control of a PRC domestic enterprise. Moreover, the Anti-Monopoly Law requires that the MOC shall be notified in advance of any concentration of undertaking if certain thresholds are triggered. In addition, the security review rules issued by the MOC that became effective in September 2011 specify that mergers and acquisitions by foreign investors that raise “national defense and security” concerns and mergers and acquisitions through which foreign investors may acquire de facto control over domestic enterprises that raise “national security” concerns are subject to strict review by the MOC, and the rules prohibit any activities attempting to bypass a security review, including by structuring the transaction through a proxy or contractual control arrangement. In the future, we may grow our business by acquiring complementary businesses. Complying with the requirements of the above-mentioned regulations and other relevant rules to complete such transactions could be time consuming, and any required approval processes, including obtaining approval from the MOC or its local counterparts may delay or inhibit our ability to complete such transactions, which could affect our ability to expand our business or maintain our market share.

PRC regulation of loans to and direct investment in PRC entities by offshore holding companies and governmental control of currency conversion may delay or prevent us from using the proceeds of this offering to make loans to or make additional capital contributions to our PRC subsidiaries and consolidated affiliated entities, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand our business.

We are an offshore holding company conducting our operations in China through our PRC subsidiaries, consolidated affiliated entities and their subsidiaries. We may make loans to our PRC subsidiaries, consolidated affiliated entities and their subsidiaries, or we may make additional capital contributions to our PRC subsidiaries, or we may establish new PRC subsidiaries and make capital contributions to these new PRC subsidiaries, or we may acquire offshore entities with business operations in China in an offshore transaction.

Most of these ways are subject to PRC regulations and approvals. For example, loans by us to our wholly owned PRC subsidiaries to finance their activities cannot exceed statutory limits and must be registered with the local counterpart of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or SAFE. If we decide to finance our wholly owned PRC subsidiaries by means of capital contributions, these capital contributions are subject to the requirement of making necessary filings in the Foreign Investment Comprehensive Management Information System and registration with other governmental authorities in China. Due to the restrictions imposed on loans in foreign currencies extended to any PRC domestic companies, we are not likely to make such loans to our

40

consolidated affiliated entities, which are PRC domestic company. Further, we are not likely to finance the activities of our consolidated affiliated entities by means of capital contributions due to regulatory restrictions relating to foreign investment in PRC domestic enterprises engaged in internet information services, online games, online audio-visual program services and related businesses.

SAFE promulgated Circular on the Reforming of the Management Method of the Settlement of Foreign Currency Capital of Foreign-invested Enterprises, or SAFE Circular 19, effective June 2015, in replacement of the Circular on the Relevant Issues Concerning the Launch of Reforming Trial of the Administration Model of the Settlement of Foreign Currency Capital of Foreign-Invested Enterprises, the Notice from the State Administration of Foreign Exchange on Relevant Issues Concerning Strengthening the Administration of Foreign Exchange Businesses, and the Circular on Further Clarification and Regulation of the Issues Concerning the Administration of Certain Capital Account Foreign Exchange Businesses. According to SAFE Circular 19, the flow and use of the RMB capital converted from foreign currency-denominated registered capital of a foreign-invested company is regulated such that RMB capital may not be used for the issuance of RMB entrusted loans, the repayment of inter-enterprise loans or the repayment of banks loans that have been transferred to a third party. Although SAFE Circular 19 allows RMB capital converted from foreign currency-denominated registered capital of a foreign-invested enterprise to be used for equity investments within China, it also reiterates the principle that RMB capital converted from the foreign currency-denominated capital of a foreign-invested company may not be directly or indirectly used for purposes beyond its business scope. Thus, it is unclear whether SAFE will permit such capital to be used for equity investments in China in actual practice. SAFE promulgated the Notice of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange on Reforming and Standardizing the Foreign Exchange Settlement Management Policy of Capital Account, or SAFE Circular 16, effective on June 9, 2016, which reiterates some of the rules set forth in SAFE Circular 19, but changes the prohibition against using RMB capital converted from foreign currency-denominated registered capital of a foreign-invested company to issue RMB entrusted loans to a prohibition against using such capital to issue loans to non-associated enterprises. Violations of SAFE Circular 19 and SAFE Circular 16 could result in administrative penalties. SAFE Circular 19 and SAFE Circular 16 may significantly limit our ability to transfer any foreign currency we hold, including the net proceeds from this offering, to our PRC subsidiaries, which may adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand our business in China.

In light of the various requirements imposed by PRC regulations on loans to and direct investment in PRC entities by offshore holding companies, we cannot assure you that we will be able to complete the necessary government registrations or obtain the necessary government approvals on a timely basis, if at all, with respect to future loans by us to our PRC subsidiary or with respect to future capital contributions by us to our PRC subsidiary. If we fail to complete such registrations or obtain such approvals, our ability to use the proceeds we received from our initial public offering and to capitalize or otherwise fund our PRC operations may be negatively affected, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand our business.

PRC regulations relating to the establishment of offshore special purpose companies by PRC residents may subject our PRC resident beneficial owners or our PRC subsidiaries to liability or penalties, limit our ability to inject capital into our PRC subsidiaries, limit our PRC subsidiaries’ ability to increase their registered capital or distribute profits to us, or may otherwise adversely affect us.

The SAFE promulgated the Circular on Relevant Issues Relating to Domestic Resident’s Investment and Financing and Round-Trip Investment through Special Purpose Vehicles, or SAFE Circular 37, in July 2014 that requires PRC residents or entities to register with SAFE or its local branch in connection with their establishment or control of an offshore entity established for the purpose of overseas investment or financing with such PRC residents or entities’ legally owned assets or equity interests in domestic enterprises or offshore assets or interests. On February 13, 2015, SAFE issued SAFE Circular No. 13, which took effect on June 1, 2015, pursuant to which, the power to accept SAFE registration was delegated from local SAFE to local qualified banks where the assets or interest in the domestic entity was located.

41

SAFE Circular 37 is issued to replace the Notice on Relevant Issues Concerning Foreign Exchange Administration for PRC Residents Engaging in Financing and Roundtrip Investments via Overseas Special Purpose Vehicles, or SAFE Circular 75.

If our shareholders who are PRC residents or entities do not complete their registration with the local SAFE branches, our PRC subsidiaries may be prohibited from distributing their profits and proceeds from any reduction in capital, share transfer or liquidation to us, and we may be restricted in our ability to contribute additional capital to our PRC subsidiaries. Moreover, failure to comply with the SAFE registration described above could result in liability under PRC laws for evasion of applicable foreign exchange restrictions.

We have used our best efforts to notify PRC residents or entities who directly or indirectly hold shares in our Cayman Islands holding company and who are known to us as being PRC residents to complete the foreign exchange registrations. However, we may not be informed of the identities of all the PRC residents or entities holding direct or indirect interest in our company, nor can we compel our beneficial owners to comply with SAFE registration requirements. We are aware that one PRC resident shareholder of ours, holding approximately 0.01% of our total issued and outstanding share capital as of the date of this prospectus, has not completed his SAFE registration. We cannot assure you that all other shareholders or beneficial owners of ours who are PRC residents or entities have complied with, and will in the future make, obtain or update any applicable registrations or approvals required by, SAFE regulations. Failure by such shareholders or beneficial owners to comply with SAFE regulations, or failure by us to amend the foreign exchange registrations of our PRC subsidiaries, could subject us to fines or legal sanctions, restrict our overseas or cross-border investment activities, limit our PRC subsidiaries’ ability to make distributions or pay dividends to us or affect our ownership structure, which could adversely affect our business and prospects.

Failure to comply with PRC regulations regarding the registration requirements for employee stock ownership plans or share option plans may subject the PRC plan participants or us to fines and other legal or administrative sanctions.

Pursuant to SAFE Circular 37, PRC residents who participate in share incentive plans in overseas non-publicly-listed companies due to their position as director, senior management or employees of the PRC subsidiaries of the overseas companies may submit applications to SAFE or its local branches for the foreign exchange registration with respect to offshore special purpose companies. Our directors, executive officers and other employees who are PRC residents and who have been granted share-based awards may follow SAFE Circular 37 to apply for the foreign exchange registration before our company becomes an overseas listed company. In February 2012, SAFE promulgated the Notices on Issues Concerning the Foreign Exchange Administration for Domestic Individuals Participating in Stock Incentive Plans of Overseas Publicly-Listed Company, or SAFE Circular 7. Under SAFE Circular 7 and other relevant rules and regulations, PRC residents who participate in stock incentive plan in an overseas publicly-listed company are required to register with SAFE or its local branches and complete certain other procedures. Participants of a stock incentive plan who are PRC residents must retain a qualified PRC agent, which could be a PRC subsidiary of such overseas publicly listed company or another qualified institution selected by such PRC subsidiary, to conduct the SAFE registration and other procedures with respect to the stock incentive plan on behalf of its participants. Such participants must also retain an overseas entrusted institution to handle matters in connection with their exercise of share-based awards, the purchase and sale of corresponding shares or interests and fund transfers. In addition, the PRC agent is required to amend the SAFE registration with respect to the stock incentive plan if there is any material change to the stock incentive plan, the PRC agent or the overseas entrusted institution or other material changes. We and our PRC employees who have been granted share-based awards will be subject to SAFE Circular 7 and other relevant rules and regulations these regulations upon the completion of this offering. Failure of our PRC share-based award holders to complete their SAFE registrations may subject these PRC residents to fines and legal sanctions and may also limit our ability to contribute additional capital into our PRC subsidiary, limit our PRC subsidiary’s ability to distribute dividends to us, or otherwise materially adversely affect our business.

42

If we are classified as a PRC resident enterprise for PRC income tax purposes, such classification could result in unfavorable tax consequences to us and our non-PRC shareholders or ADS holders.

Under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law and its implementation rules, an enterprise established outside of the PRC with its “de facto management body” within the PRC is considered a “resident enterprise” and will be subject to PRC enterprise income tax on its global income at the rate of 25%. The implementation rules define the term “de facto management body” as the body that exercises full and substantial control and overall management over the business, productions, personnel, accounts and properties of an enterprise. In 2009, the State Administration of Taxation issued a circular, known as SAT Circular 82, which provides certain specific criteria for determining whether the “de facto management body” of a PRC-controlled enterprise that is incorporated offshore is located in China. Although this circular only applies to offshore enterprises controlled by PRC enterprises or PRC enterprise groups, not those controlled by PRC individuals or foreigners, the criteria set forth in the circular may reflect the State Administration of Taxation’s general position on how the “de facto management body” text should be applied in determining the tax resident status of all offshore enterprises. According to SAT Circular 82, an offshore incorporated enterprise controlled by a PRC enterprise or a PRC enterprise group will be regarded as a PRC tax resident by virtue of having its “de facto management body” in China and will be subject to PRC enterprise income tax on its global income only if all of the following conditions are met: (i) the primary location of the day-to-day operational management is in the PRC; (ii) decisions relating to the enterprise’s financial and human resource matters are made or are subject to approval by organizations or personnel in the PRC; (iii) the enterprise’s primary assets, accounting books and records, company seals, and board and shareholder resolutions, are located or maintained in the PRC; and (iv) at least 50% of voting board members or senior executives habitually reside in the PRC.

We believe none of our entities outside of China is a PRC resident enterprise for PRC tax purposes. However, the tax resident status of an enterprise is subject to determination by the PRC tax authorities and uncertainties remain with respect to the interpretation of the term “de facto management body.” If the PRC tax authorities determine that Meili Inc. is a PRC resident enterprise for enterprise income tax purposes, we may be required to withhold a 10% withholding tax from dividends we pay to our shareholders that are non-resident enterprises, including the holders of our ADSs. In addition, non-resident enterprise shareholders (including our ADS holders) may be subject to PRC tax at a rate of 10% on gains realized on the sale or other disposition of ADSs or ordinary shares at a rate of 10%, if such income is treated as sourced from within the PRC. Furthermore, if PRC tax authorities determine that we are a PRC resident enterprise for enterprise income tax purposes, dividends paid to our non-PRC individual shareholders (including our ADS holders) and any gain realized on the transfer of ADSs or ordinary shares by such shareholders may be subject to PRC tax at a rate of 20% (which, in the case of dividends, may be withheld at source by us), if such dividends or gains are deemed to be from PRC sources. These rates may be reduced by an applicable tax treaty, but it is unclear whether non-PRC shareholders of Meili Inc. would be able to claim the benefits of any tax treaties between their country of tax residence and the PRC in the event that Meili Inc. is treated as a PRC resident enterprise. Any such PRC tax may reduce the returns on your investment in the ADSs.

We face uncertainty with respect to indirect transfer of equity interests in PRC resident enterprises by their non-PRC holding companies.

We face uncertainties regarding the reporting on and consequences of previous private equity financing transactions involving the transfer and exchange of shares in our company by non-resident investors. In February 2015, the State Administration of Taxation issued the Bulletin on Issues of Enterprise Income Tax on Indirect Transfers of Assets by Non-PRC Resident Enterprises, or Bulletin 7. Pursuant to Bulletin 7, an ‘‘indirect transfer’’ of PRC assets, including a transfer of equity interests in an unlisted non-PRC holding company of a PRC resident enterprise, by non-PRC resident enterprises may be re-characterized and treated as a direct transfer of the underlying PRC assets, if such arrangement does not have a reasonable commercial purpose and was established for the purpose of avoiding payment of PRC enterprise income tax. As a result, gains derived from such indirect transfer may be subject to PRC enterprise income tax, and the transferee or other person who is

43

obligated to pay for the transfer is obligated to withhold the applicable taxes, currently at a rate of 10%, for the transfer of equity interests in a PRC resident enterprise. Bulletin 7 does not apply to transactions of sale of shares by investors through a public stock exchange where such shares were acquired from a transaction through a public stock exchange. On October 17, 2017, the SAT issued the Announcement of the State Administration of Taxation on Issues of Tax Withholding regarding Non-resident Enterprise Income Tax, or Bulletin 37, which came into effect on December 1, 2017. The Bulletin 37 further clarifies the practice and procedure of the withholding of nonresident enterprise income tax.

There is uncertainty as to the application of Bulletin 37 or previous rules under Bulletin 7. We face uncertainties on the reporting and consequences of private equity financing transactions, share exchanges or other transactions involving the transfer of shares in our company by investors that are non-PRC resident enterprises. Our company may be subject to filing obligations or taxes if our company is the transferor in such transactions, and may be subject to withholding obligations if our company is the transferee in such transactions, under Bulletin 37 and Bulletin 7.

The audit report included in this prospectus is prepared by an auditor who is not inspected by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and, as such, you are deprived of the benefits of such inspection.

Our independent registered public accounting firm that issues the audit reports included in our prospectus filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, as an auditor of companies that are traded publicly in the United States and a firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or the PCAOB, is required by the laws of the United States to undergo regular inspections by the PCAOB to assess its compliance with the laws of the United States and professional standards. Because our auditors are located in China, a jurisdiction where the PCAOB is currently unable to conduct inspections without the approval of the Chinese authorities, our auditors are not currently inspected by the PCAOB.

Inspections of other firms that the PCAOB has conducted outside of China have identified deficiencies in those firms’ audit procedures and quality control procedures, which may be addressed as part of the inspection process to improve future audit quality. The lack of PCAOB inspections in China prevents the PCAOB from regularly evaluating our auditors’ audits and its quality control procedures. As a result, investors may be deprived of the benefits of PCAOB inspections.

The inability of the PCAOB to conduct inspections of auditors in China makes it more difficult to evaluate the effectiveness of our auditors’ audit procedures or quality control procedures as compared to auditors outside of China that are subject to PCAOB inspections. Investors may lose confidence in our reported financial information and procedures and the quality of our financial statements.

Proceedings instituted by the SEC against Chinese affiliates of the “big four” accounting firms, including our independent registered public accounting firm, could result in financial statements being determined to not be in compliance with the requirements of the Exchange Act.

Starting in 2011 the Chinese affiliates of the “big four” accounting firms, including our independent registered public accounting firm, were affected by a conflict between U.S. and Chinese law. Specifically, for certain U.S.-listed companies operating and audited in mainland China, the SEC and the PCAOB sought to obtain from the Chinese firms access to their audit work papers and related documents. The firms were, however, advised and directed that under Chinese law, they could not respond directly to the U.S. regulators on those requests, and that requests by foreign regulators for access to such papers in China had to be channeled through the CSRC.

In late 2012, this impasse led the SEC to commence administrative proceedings under Rule 102(e) of its Rules of Practice and also under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 against the Chinese accounting firms, including our independent registered public accounting firm. A first instance trial of the proceedings in July 2013 in the

44

SEC’s internal administrative court resulted in an adverse judgment against the firms. The administrative law judge proposed penalties on the firms including a temporary suspension of their right to practice before the SEC, although that proposed penalty did not take effect pending review by the Commissioners of the SEC. On February 6, 2015, before a review by the Commissioner had taken place, the firms reached a settlement with the SEC. Under the settlement, the SEC accepts that future requests by the SEC for the production of documents will normally be made to the CSRC. The firms will receive matching Section 106 requests, and are required to abide by a detailed set of procedures with respect to such requests, which in substance require them to facilitate production via the CSRC. If they fail to meet specified criteria, the SEC retains authority to impose a variety of additional remedial measures on the firms depending on the nature of the failure. Remedies for any future noncompliance could include, as appropriate, an automatic six-month bar on a single firm’s performance of certain audit work, commencement of a new proceeding against a firm, or in extreme cases the resumption of the current proceeding against all four firms. If additional remedial measures are imposed on the Chinese affiliates of the “big four” accounting firms, including our independent registered public accounting firm, in administrative proceedings brought by the SEC alleging the firms’ failure to meet specific criteria set by the SEC with respect to requests for the production of documents, we could be unable to timely file future financial statements in compliance with the requirements of the Exchange Act.

In the event that the SEC restarts the administrative proceedings, depending upon the final outcome, listed companies in the United States with major PRC operations may find it difficult or impossible to retain auditors in respect of their operations in the PRC, which could result in financial statements being determined to not be in compliance with the requirements of the Exchange Act, including possible delisting. Moreover, any negative news about any such future proceedings against these audit firms may cause investor uncertainty regarding China-based, U.S.-listed companies and the market price of our common stock may be adversely affected.

If our independent registered public accounting firm was denied, even temporarily, the ability to practice before the SEC and we were unable to timely find another registered public accounting firm to audit and issue an opinion on our financial statements, our financial statements could be determined not to be in compliance with the requirements of the Exchange Act. Such a determination could ultimately lead to the delisting of the ADSs from [the New York Stock Exchange/Nasdaq Global Market] or deregistration from the SEC, or both, which would substantially reduce or effectively terminate the trading of the ADSs in the United States.

The enforcement of the PRC Labor Contract Law and other labor-related regulations in the PRC may adversely affect our business and results of operations.

The Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress enacted the Labor Contract Law in 2008, and amended it on December 28, 2012. The Labor Contract Law introduced specific provisions related to fixed-term employment contracts, part-time employment, probationary periods, consultation with labor unions and employee assemblies, employment without a written contract, dismissal of employees, severance, and collective bargaining to enhance previous PRC labor laws. Under the Labor Contract Law, an employer is obligated to sign an unlimited-term labor contract with any employee who has worked for the employer for ten consecutive years. Further, if an employee requests or agrees to renew a fixed-term labor contract that has already been entered into twice consecutively, the resulting contract, with certain exceptions, must have an unlimited term, subject to certain exceptions. With certain exceptions, an employer must pay severance to an employee where a labor contract is terminated or expires. In addition, the PRC governmental authorities have continued to introduce various new labor-related regulations since the effectiveness of the Labor Contract Law.

Under the PRC Social Insurance Law and the Administration of Housing Fund, employees are required to participate in pension insurance, work-related injury insurance, medical insurance, unemployment insurance, maternity insurance, and housing funds and employers are required, together with their employees or separately, to pay the social insurance premiums and housing funds for their employees. Failure to make adequate social insurance and housing fund contributions, we may be subject to fines and legal sanctions, and our business, financial conditions and results of operations may be adversely affected.

45

These laws designed to enhance labor protection tend to increase our labor costs. In addition, as the interpretation and implementation of these regulations are still evolving, our employment practices may not be at all times be deemed in compliance with the regulations. As a result, we could be subject to penalties or incur significant liabilities in connection with labor disputes or investigations.

Risks Related to Our ADSs and This Offering

An active trading market for our ordinary shares or our ADSs may not develop and the trading price for our ADSs may fluctuate significantly.

We have applied to list our ADSs on the [the New York Stock Exchange/Nasdaq Global Market]. We have no current intention to seek a listing for our ordinary shares on any stock exchange. Prior to the completion of this offering, there has been no public market for our ADSs or our ordinary shares, and we cannot assure you that a liquid public market for our ADSs will develop. If an active public market for our ADSs does not develop following the completion of this offering, the market price and liquidity of our ADSs may be materially and adversely affected. The initial public offering price for our ADSs will be determined by negotiation between us and the underwriters based upon several factors, and we can provide no assurance that the trading price of our ADSs after this offering will not decline below the initial public offering price. As a result, investors in our securities may experience a significant decrease in the value of their ADSs.

The trading price of our ADSs is likely to be volatile, which could result in substantial losses to investors.

The trading price of our ADSs is likely to be volatile and could fluctuate widely due to multiple factors, some of which are beyond our control. This may happen because of broad market and industry factors, including the performance and fluctuation of the market prices of other companies with business operations located mainly in China that have listed their securities in the United States. In addition to market and industry factors, the price and trading volume for our ADSs may be highly volatile for factors specific to our own operations, including the following:

• variations in our revenues, earnings, cash flow and data related to our user base or user engagement;

• announcements of new investments, acquisitions, strategic partnerships or joint ventures by us or our competitors;

• announcements of new product and service offerings, solutions and expansions by us or our competitors;

• changes in financial estimates by securities analysts;

• detrimental adverse publicity about us, our products and services or our industry;

• additions or departures of key personnel;

• release of lock-up or other transfer restrictions on our outstanding equity securities or sales of additional equity securities; and

• actual or potential litigation or regulatory investigations.

Any of these factors may result in large and sudden changes in the volume and price at which our ADSs will trade.

In the past, shareholders of public companies have often brought securities class action suits against those companies following periods of instability in the market price of their securities. If we were involved in a class action suit, it could divert a significant amount of our management’s attention and other resources from our business and operations and require us to incur significant expenses to defend the suit, which could harm our results of operations. Any such class action suit, whether or not successful, could harm our reputation and restrict

46

our ability to raise capital in the future. In addition, if a claim is successfully made against us, we may be required to pay significant damages, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, or if they adversely change their recommendations regarding our ADSs, the market price for our ADSs and trading volume could decline.

The trading market for our ADSs will be influenced by research or reports that industry or securities analysts publish about our business. If one or more analysts who cover us downgrade our ADSs, the market price for our ADSs would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease to cover us or fail to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause the market price or trading volume for our ADSs to decline.

The sale or availability for sale of substantial amounts of our ADSs could adversely affect their market price.

Sales of substantial amounts of our ADSs in the public market after the completion of this offering, or the perception that these sales could occur, could adversely affect the market price of our ADSs and could materially impair our ability to raise capital through equity offerings in the future. The ADSs sold in this offering will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act, and shares held by our existing shareholders may also be sold in the public market in the future subject to the restrictions in Rule 144 and Rule 701 under the Securities Act and the applicable lock-up agreements. There will be                  ADSs (equivalent to                  Class A ordinary shares) outstanding immediately after this offering, or                  ADSs (equivalent to                  Class A to ordinary shares) if the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional ADSs in full. In connection with this offering, [we, our directors and executive officers, our existing shareholders and holders of our share-based awards] have agreed not to sell any ordinary shares, ADSs or similar securities for 180 days after the date of this prospectus without the prior written consent of the underwriters, subject to certain exceptions. However, the underwriters may release these securities from these restrictions at any time, subject to applicable regulations of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. We cannot predict what effect, if any, market sales of securities held by our significant shareholders or any other shareholder or the availability of these securities for future sale will have on the market price of our ADSs. See “Underwriting” and “Shares Eligible for Future Sale” for a more detailed description of the restrictions on selling our securities after this offering.

Our proposed dual-class voting structure will limit your ability to influence corporate matters and could discourage others from pursuing any change of control transactions that holders of our Class A ordinary shares and ADSs may view as beneficial.

Our authorized and issued ordinary shares will be divided into Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares immediately prior to the completion of this offering (with certain shares remaining undesignated, with power for our directors to designate and issue such classes of shares as they think fit). Holders of Class A ordinary shares will be entitled to one vote per share, while holders of Class B ordinary shares will be entitled to                votes per share. We will issue Class A ordinary shares represented by our ADSs in this offering. Each Class B ordinary share is convertible into one Class A ordinary share at any time by the holder thereof, while Class A ordinary shares are not convertible into Class B ordinary shares under any circumstances.

Immediately prior to the completion of this offering,                will beneficially own        % of our issued Class B ordinary shares. These Class B ordinary shares will constitute approximately        % of our total issued and outstanding share capital immediately after the completion of this offering and        % of the aggregate voting power of our total issued and outstanding share capital immediately after the completion of this offering due to the disparate voting powers associated with our dual-class share structure, assuming the underwriters do not

47

exercise their over-allotment option. As a result of the dual-class share structure and the concentration of ownership, holders of Class B ordinary shares will have considerable influence over matters such as decisions regarding mergers and consolidations, election of directors and other significant corporate actions. Such holders may take actions that are not in the best interest of us or our other shareholders. This concentration of ownership may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company, which could have the effect of depriving our other shareholders of the opportunity to receive a premium for their shares as part of a sale of our company and may reduce the price of our ADSs. This concentrated control will limit your ability to influence corporate matters and could discourage others from pursuing any potential merger, takeover or other change of control transactions that holders of Class A ordinary shares and ADSs may view as beneficial.

Because we do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future after this offering, you must rely on price appreciation of our ADSs for return on your investment.

We currently intend to retain most, if not all, of our available funds and any future earnings after this offering to fund the development and growth of our business. As a result, we do not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Therefore, you should not rely on an investment in our ADSs as a source for any future dividend income.

Our board of directors has complete discretion as to whether to distribute dividends, subject to certain restrictions under Cayman Islands law, namely that our company may only pay dividends out of profits or share premium, and provided always that in no circumstances may a dividend be paid if this would result in our company being unable to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business. In addition, our shareholders may by ordinary resolution declare a dividend, but no dividend may exceed the amount recommended by our board of directors.. Even if our board of directors decides to declare and pay dividends, the timing, amount and form of future dividends, if any, will depend on our future results of operations and cash flow, our capital requirements and surplus, the amount of distributions, if any, received by us from our subsidiaries, our financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors. Accordingly, the return on your investment in our ADSs will likely depend entirely upon any future price appreciation of our ADSs. There is no guarantee that our ADSs will appreciate in value after this offering or even maintain the price at which you purchased the ADSs. You may not realize a return on your investment in our ADSs and you may even lose your entire investment in our ADSs.

We have not determined a specific use for a portion of the net proceeds from this offering and we may use these proceeds in ways with which you may not agree.

We have not determined a specific use for a portion of the net proceeds of this offering, and our management will have considerable discretion in deciding how to apply these proceeds. You will not have the opportunity to assess whether the proceeds are being used appropriately before you make your investment decision. You must rely on the judgment of our management regarding the application of the net proceeds of this offering. We cannot assure you that the net proceeds will be used in a manner that would improve our results of operations or increase our ADS price, nor that these net proceeds will be placed only in investments that generate income or appreciate in value.

The approval of the China Securities Regulatory Commission may be required in connection with this offering under PRC law.

The M&A Rules, which were adopted in 2006 by six PRC regulatory agencies, including the CSRC, and amended in 2009, purport to require offshore special purpose vehicles that are controlled by PRC companies or individuals and that have been formed for the purpose of seeking a public listing on an overseas stock exchange through acquisitions of PRC domestic companies or assets to obtain CSRC approval prior to publicly listing their securities on an overseas stock exchange. The interpretation and application of the regulations remain unclear, and if CSRC approval is required, it is uncertain whether it would be possible for us to obtain the approval and

48

any failure to obtain or delay in obtaining CSRC approval for this offering would subject us to sanctions imposed by the CSRC and other PRC regulatory agencies.

Our PRC counsel, Grandall Law Firm (Shanghai), has advised us that, based on its understanding of the current PRC laws and regulations, we will not be required to submit an application to the CSRC for the approval of the listing and trading of our ADSs on [the New York Stock Exchange/Nasdaq Global Market] because (i) the CSRC currently has not issued any definitive rule or interpretation concerning whether offerings like ours under this prospectus are subject to this regulation, (ii) our wholly owned PRC subsidiaries were established by foreign direct investment, rather than through a merger or acquisition of a domestic company as defined under the M&A Rules and (iii) no explicit provision in the M&A Rules classifies the respective contractual arrangements among our PRC subsidiaries, our consolidated affiliated entities and their respective shareholders as a type of acquisition transaction falling under the M&A Rules.

However, we cannot assure you that relevant PRC government agencies, including the CSRC, would reach the same conclusion as our PRC counsel, and hence we may face regulatory actions or other sanctions from the CSRC or other PRC regulatory agencies. If the CSRC or other relevant PRC regulatory authorities subsequently determine that a prior CSRC approval is required, we may face regulatory actions or other sanctions from the CSRC or other PRC regulatory authorities. These regulatory agencies may impose fines and penalties on our operations in China, limit our ability to pay dividends outside of China, limit our operating privileges in China, delay or restrict the repatriation of the proceeds from this offering into China or take other actions that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, as well as the trading price of the ADSs. The CSRC or other PRC regulatory agencies also may take actions requiring us, or making it advisable for us, to halt this offering before settlement and delivery of the ADSs offered hereby. Consequently, if you engage in market trading or other activities in anticipation of and prior to settlement and delivery, you do so at the risk that settlement and delivery may not occur. In addition, if the CSRC or other regulatory agencies later promulgate new rules or explanations requiring that we obtain their approvals for this offering, we may be unable to obtain a waiver of such approval requirements, if and when procedures are established to obtain such a waiver. Any uncertainties and/or negative publicity regarding such approval requirement could have a material adverse effect on the trading price of the ADSs.

Our memorandum and articles of association contain anti-takeover provisions that could have a material adverse effect on the rights of holders of our ordinary shares and ADSs.

We [have adopted] amended and restated memorandum and articles of association that will become effective immediately prior to the completion of this offering. Our post-offering memorandum and articles of association will contain provisions which could limit the ability of others to acquire control of our company or cause us to engage in change-of-control transactions. These provisions could have the effect of depriving our shareholders of an opportunity to sell their shares at a premium over prevailing market prices by discouraging third parties from seeking to obtain control of our company in a tender offer or similar transaction. Our board of directors has the authority, without further action by our shareholders, to issue preferred shares in one or more series and to fix their designations, powers, preferences, privileges, and relative participating, optional or special rights and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions, including dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption and liquidation preferences, any or all of which may be greater than the rights associated with our ordinary shares, in the form of ADS or otherwise. Preferred shares could be issued quickly with terms calculated to delay or prevent a change in control of our company or make removal of management more difficult. If our board of directors decides to issue preferred shares, the price of our ADSs may fall and the voting and other rights of the holders of our ordinary shares and ADSs may be materially and adversely affected.

You may face difficulties in protecting your interests, and your ability to protect your rights through U.S. courts may be limited, because we are incorporated under Cayman Islands law.

We are an exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands. Our corporate affairs are governed by our memorandum and articles of association, the Companies Law (2018 Revision) of the Cayman

49

Islands and the common law of the Cayman Islands. The rights of shareholders to take action against our directors, actions by our minority shareholders and the fiduciary duties of our directors to us under Cayman Islands law are to a large extent governed by the common law of the Cayman Islands. The common law of the Cayman Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the Cayman Islands as well as from the common law of England, the decisions of whose courts are of persuasive authority, but are not binding, on a court in the Cayman Islands. The rights of our shareholders and the fiduciary duties of our directors under Cayman Islands law are not as clearly established as they would be under statutes or judicial precedent in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the Cayman Islands has a less developed body of securities laws than the United States. Some U.S. states, such as Delaware, have more fully developed and judicially interpreted bodies of corporate law than the Cayman Islands. In addition, Cayman Islands companies may not have standing to initiate a shareholder derivative action in a federal court of the United States.

Shareholders of Cayman Islands exempted companies like us have no general rights under Cayman Islands law to inspect corporate records (other than the memorandum and articles of association and any special resolutions passed by such companies, and the registers of mortgages and charges of such companies) or to obtain copies of lists of shareholders of these companies. Our directors have discretion under our articles of association to determine whether or not, and under what conditions, our corporate records may be inspected by our shareholders, but are not obliged to make them available to our shareholders. This may make it more difficult for you to obtain the information needed to establish any facts necessary for a shareholder motion or to solicit proxies from other shareholders in connection with a proxy contest.

Certain corporate governance practices in the Cayman Islands, which is our home country, differ significantly from requirements for companies incorporated in other jurisdictions such as the United States. [Currently, we do not plan to rely on home country practice with respect to any corporate governance matter.] To the extent we choose to follow home country practice with respect to corporate governance matters, our shareholders may be afforded less protection than they otherwise would under rules and regulations applicable to U.S. domestic issuers.

As a result of all of the above, our public shareholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests in the face of actions taken by our management, members of our board of directors or our controlling shareholders than they would as public shareholders of a company incorporated in the United States. For a discussion of significant differences between the provisions of the Companies Law of the Cayman Islands and the laws applicable to companies incorporated in the United States and their shareholders, see “Description of Share Capital—Differences in Corporate Law.”

Certain judgments obtained against us by our shareholders may not be enforceable.

We are a Cayman Islands company and substantially all of our assets are located outside of the United States. All of our current operations are conducted in China. In addition, most of our current directors and officers are nationals and residents of countries other than the United States. As a result, it may be difficult or impossible for you to bring an action against us or against these individuals in the United States in the event that you believe that your rights have been infringed under the U.S. federal securities laws or otherwise. Even if you are successful in bringing an action of this kind, the laws of the Cayman Islands and of China may render you unable to enforce a judgment against our assets or the assets of our directors and officers. For more information regarding the relevant laws of the Cayman Islands and China, see “Enforceability of Civil Liabilities.”

The voting rights of holders of ADSs are limited by the terms of the deposit agreement, and you may not be able to exercise your right to direct how the Class A ordinary shares which are represented by your ADSs are voted.

Holders of ADSs do not have the same rights as our registered shareholders. As a holder of our ADSs, you will not have any direct right to attend general meetings of our shareholders or to cast any votes at such meetings.

50

You will only be able to exercise the voting rights which are carried by the underlying Class A ordinary shares represented by your ADSs indirectly by giving voting instructions to the depositary in accordance with the provisions of the deposit agreement. Under the deposit agreement, you may vote only by giving voting instructions to the depositary. If we instruct the depositary to ask for your instructions, then upon receipt of your voting instructions, the depositary will try, as far as is practicable, to vote the underlying Class A ordinary shares which are represented by your ADSs in accordance with your instructions. If we do not instruct the depositary to ask for your instructions, the depositary may still vote in accordance with instructions you give, but it is not required to do so. You will not be able to directly exercise your right to vote with respect to the underlying Class A ordinary shares represented by your ADSs unless you withdraw the shares and become the registered holder of such shares prior to the record date for the general meeting. Under our post-offering memorandum and articles of association that will become effective immediately prior to completion of this offering, the minimum notice period required to be given by our company to our registered shareholders to convene a general meeting will be seven days. When a general meeting is convened, you may not receive sufficient advance notice of the meeting to withdraw the Class A ordinary shares underlying your ADSs and become the registered holder of such shares to allow you to attend the general meeting and to vote directly with respect to any specific matter or resolution to be considered and voted upon at the general meeting. In addition, under our post-offering articles of association that will become effective prior to the completion of this offering, for the purposes of determining those shareholders who are entitled to attend and vote at any general meeting, our directors may close our register of members and/or fix in advance a record date for such meeting, and such closure of our register of members or the setting of such a record date may prevent you from withdrawing the Class A ordinary shares underlying your ADSs and becoming the registered holder of such shares prior to the record date, so that you would not be able to attend the general meeting or to vote directly. If we ask for your instructions, the depositary will notify you of the upcoming vote and will arrange to deliver our voting materials to you. We have agreed to give the depositary at least                days’ prior notice of shareholder meetings. Nevertheless, we cannot assure you that you will receive the voting materials in time to ensure that you can instruct the depositary to vote the underlying Class A ordinary shares represented by your ADSs. In addition, the depositary and its agents are not responsible for failing to carry out voting instructions or for their manner of carrying out your voting instructions. This means that you may not be able to exercise your right to direct how the Class A ordinary shares underlying your ADSs are voted and you may have no legal remedy if the Class A ordinary shares underlying your ADSs are not voted as you requested.

You may experience dilution of your holdings due to inability to participate in rights offerings.

We may, from time to time, distribute rights to our shareholders, including rights to acquire securities. Under the deposit agreement, the depositary will not distribute rights to holders of ADSs unless the distribution and sale of rights and the securities to which these rights relate are either exempt from registration under the Securities Act with respect to all holders of ADSs, or are registered under the provisions of the Securities Act. The depositary may, but is not required to, attempt to sell these undistributed rights to third parties, and may allow the rights to lapse. We may be unable to establish an exemption from registration under the Securities Act, and we are under no obligation to file a registration statement with respect to these rights or underlying securities or to endeavor to have a registration statement declared effective. Accordingly, holders of ADSs may be unable to participate in our rights offerings and may experience dilution of their holdings as a result.

You may be subject to limitations on transfer of your ADSs.

Your ADSs are transferable on the books of the depositary. However, the depositary may close its books at any time or from time to time when it deems expedient in connection with the performance of its duties. The depositary may close its books from time to time for a number of reasons, including in connection with corporate events such as a rights offering, during which time the depositary needs to maintain an exact number of ADS holders on its books for a specified period. The depositary may also close its books in emergencies, and on weekends and public holidays. The depositary may refuse to deliver, transfer or register transfers of our ADSs generally when our share register or the books of the depositary are closed, or at any time if we or the depositary

51

thinks it is advisable to do so because of any requirement of law or of any government or governmental body, or under any provision of the deposit agreement, or for any other reason.

We are a foreign private issuer within the meaning of the rules under the Exchange Act, and as such we are exempt from certain provisions applicable to United States domestic public companies.

Because we are a foreign private issuer under the Exchange Act, we are exempt from certain provisions of the securities rules and regulations in the United States that are applicable to U.S. domestic issuers, including: (i) the rules under the Exchange Act requiring the filing of quarterly reports on Form 10-Q or current reports on Form 8-K with the SEC; (ii) the sections of the Exchange Act regulating the solicitation of proxies, consents, or authorizations in respect of a security registered under the Exchange Act; (iii) the sections of the Exchange Act requiring insiders to file public reports of their stock ownership and trading activities and liability for insiders who profit from trades made in a short period of time; and (iv) the selective disclosure rules by issuers of material nonpublic information under Regulation FD.

We will be required to file an annual report on Form 20-F within four months of the end of each fiscal year. In addition, we intend to publish our results on a quarterly basis through press releases, distributed pursuant to the rules and regulations of [the New York Stock Exchange/Nasdaq Stock Market]. Press releases relating to financial results and material events will also be furnished to the SEC on Form 6-K. However, the information we are required to file with or furnish to the SEC will be less extensive and less timely compared to that required to be filed with the SEC by U.S. domestic issuers. As a result, you may not be afforded the same protections or information, which would be made available to you, were you investing in a U.S. domestic issuer.

We are an emerging growth company within the meaning of the Securities Act and may take advantage of certain reduced reporting requirements.

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from requirements applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, most significantly, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 for so long as we remain an emerging growth company. As a result, if we elect not to comply with such auditor attestation requirements, our investors may not have access to certain information they may deem important.

We will incur increased costs as a result of being a public company, particularly after we cease to qualify as an “emerging growth company.”

Upon completion of this offering, we will become a public company and expect to incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as rules subsequently implemented by the SEC and [the New York Stock Exchange/Nasdaq Global Market], impose various requirements on the corporate governance practices of public companies. As a company with less than US$1.07 billion in revenues for our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” pursuant to the JOBS Act. An emerging growth company may take advantage of specified reduced reporting and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. These provisions include exemption from the auditor attestation requirement under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, in the assessment of the emerging growth company’s internal control over financial reporting. The JOBS Act also permits an emerging growth company to delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We will rely on such exemption provided by the JOBS Act. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.

We expect these rules and regulations to increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some corporate activities more time-consuming and costly. After we are no longer an “emerging growth company,” we expect to incur significant expenses and devote substantial management effort toward ensuring

52

compliance with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the other rules and regulations of the SEC. For example, as a result of becoming a public company, we will need to increase the number of independent directors and adopt policies regarding internal controls and disclosure controls and procedures. We also expect that operating as a public company will make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. In addition, we will incur additional costs associated with our public company reporting requirements. It may also be more difficult for us to find qualified persons to serve on our board of directors or as executive officers. We are currently evaluating and monitoring developments with respect to these rules and regulations, and we cannot predict or estimate with any degree of certainty the amount of additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs.

As a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands, we are permitted to adopt certain home country practices in relation to corporate governance matters that differ significantly from the [Nasdaq/NYSE] corporate governance listing standards; these practices may afford less protection to shareholders than they would enjoy if we comply fully with the [Nasdaq/NYSE] corporate governance listing standards.

As a Cayman Islands company listed on [Nasdaq Stock Market/New York Stock Exchange], we are subject to the [Nasdaq Stock Market/New York Stock Exchange] corporate governance listing standards. However, [Nasdaq Stock Market/New York Stock Exchange] rules permit a foreign private issuer like us to follow the corporate governance practices of its home country. Certain corporate governance practices in the Cayman Islands, which is our home country, may differ significantly from the [Nasdaq Stock Market/New York Stock Exchange] corporate governance listing standards. [Currently, we do not plan to rely on home country practice with respect to our corporate governance after we complete this offering.] However, if we choose to follow home country practice in the future, our shareholders may be afforded less protection than they would otherwise enjoy under the [Nasdaq Stock Market/New York Stock Exchange] corporate governance listing standards applicable to U.S. domestic issuers.

We may be a passive foreign investment company, which could result in adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. investors owning our ADSs or ordinary shares.

A non-U.S. corporation, such as our company, will be considered a passive foreign investment company, or “PFIC,” for any taxable year if either (i) at least 75% of its gross income is passive income or (ii) at least 50% of the value of its assets (based on an average of the quarterly values of the assets during a taxable year) is attributable to assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income. Although the law in this regard is not entirely clear, we treat our consolidated affiliated entities as being owned by us for U.S. federal income tax purposes because we control their management decisions and are entitled to substantially all of the economic benefits associated with them. As a result, we consolidate their results of operations in our consolidated U.S. GAAP financial statements. If it were determined, however, that we are not the owner of our consolidated affiliated entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we would likely be treated as a PFIC for the current taxable year and any subsequent taxable year.

Assuming that we are the owner of our consolidated affiliated entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and based upon our current and projected income and assets, including the proceeds from this offering, and projections as to the value of our assets, we do not expect to be a PFIC for the current taxable year or the foreseeable future. However, no assurance can be given in this regard because the determination of whether we will be or become a PFIC is a factual determination made annually that will depend, in part, upon the composition of our income and assets. Fluctuations in the market price of our ADSs may cause us to be a PFIC for the current or future taxable years because the value of our assets for purposes of the asset test, including the value of our goodwill and unbooked intangibles, may be determined by reference to the market price of our ADSs from time to time (which may be volatile). If our market capitalization subsequently declines, we may be or become a PFIC for the current taxable year or future taxable years. Furthermore, the composition of our income and assets may also be affected by how, and how quickly, we use our liquid assets and the cash raised in

53

this offering. Under circumstances where our revenue from activities that produce passive income significantly increases relative to our revenue from activities that produce non-passive income, or where we determine not to deploy significant amounts of cash for active purposes, our risk of becoming a PFIC may substantially increase.

If we were treated as a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. investor held an ADS or an ordinary share, certain adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences could apply to the U.S. investor. See “Taxation—United States Federal Income Tax Considerations—Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations.”

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus contains forward-looking statements that reflect our current expectations and views of future events. The forward looking statements are contained principally in the sections entitled “Prospectus Summary,” “Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Business.” Known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including those listed under “Risk Factors,” may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

You can identify some of these forward-looking statements by words or phrases such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “aim,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “is/are likely to,” “potential,” “continue” or other similar expressions. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs. These forward-looking statements include statements relating to:

• our mission, goals and strategies;

• our future business development, financial conditions and results of operations;

• the expected growth of the online retail and fashion industries in China;

• our expectations regarding demand for and market acceptance of our products and services;

• our expectations regarding keeping and strengthening our relationships with users, fashion influencers, merchants, brand and strategic partners and other stakeholders;

• competition in our industry;

• our proposed use of proceeds; and

• relevant government policies and regulations relating to our industry.

These forward-looking statements involve various risks and uncertainties. Although we believe that our expectations expressed in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, our expectations may later be found to be incorrect. Our actual results could be materially different from our expectations. Important risks and factors that could cause our actual results to be materially different from our expectations are generally set forth in “Prospectus Summary—Our Challenges,” “Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” “Business,” “Regulation” and other sections in this prospectus. You should read thoroughly this prospectus and the documents that we refer to with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from and worse than what we expect. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.

This prospectus contains certain data and information that we obtained from various government and private publications. Statistical data in these publications also include projections based on a number of assumptions. Our industry may not grow at the rate projected by market data, or at all. Failure of this market to grow at the projected rate may have a material and adverse effect on our business and the market price of our ADSs. In addition, the rapidly evolving nature of this industry results in significant uncertainties for any projections or estimates relating to the growth prospects or future condition of our market. Furthermore, if any one or more of the assumptions underlying the market data are later found to be incorrect, actual results may differ from the projections based on these assumptions. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

The forward-looking statements made in this prospectus relate only to events or information as of the date on which the statements are made in this prospectus. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, after the date on which the statements are made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

55

You should read this prospectus and the documents that we refer to in this prospectus and have filed as exhibits to the registration statement, of which this prospectus is a part, completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect.

56

USE OF PROCEEDS

We estimate that we will receive net proceeds from this offering of approximately US$             , or approximately US$            if the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and the estimated offering expenses payable by us. These estimates are based upon an assumed initial public offering price of US$            per ADS, which is the midpoint of the price range shown on the front page of this prospectus. A US$1.00 increase (decrease) in the assumed initial public offering price of US$            per ADS would increase (decrease) the net proceeds to us from this offering by US$            , assuming the number of ADSs offered by us, as set forth on the front cover of this prospectus, remains the same and after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated expenses payable by us.

The primary purposes of this offering are to create a public market for our shares for the benefit of all shareholders, retain talented employees by providing them with equity incentives, and obtain additional capital. We plan to use the net proceeds of this offering as follows:

• approximately US$            to develop and expand our content offering;

• approximately US$            to continue to invest in and develop our technology; and

• the balance for general corporate purposes, which may include working capital needs and potential investments and acquisitions, although we have not identified any specific investments or acquisition opportunities at this time.

The foregoing represents our current intentions based upon our present plans and business conditions to use and allocate the net proceeds of this offering. Our management, however, will have significant flexibility and discretion to apply the net proceeds of this offering. If an unforeseen event occurs or business conditions change, we may use the proceeds of this offering differently than as described in this prospectus. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our ADSs and This Offering—We have not determined a specific use for a portion of the net proceeds from this offering and we may use these proceeds in ways with which you may not agree.”

Pending any use described above, we plan to invest the net proceeds in short-term, interest-bearing, debt instruments or demand deposits.

In using the proceeds of this offering, we are permitted under PRC laws and regulations as an offshore holding company to provide funding to our PRC subsidiaries only through loans or capital contributions and to our consolidated affiliated entities only through loans, subject to satisfaction of applicable government registration and approval requirements. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain these government registrations or approvals on a timely basis, if at all. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Doing Business in China—PRC regulation of loans to and direct investment in PRC entities by offshore holding companies and governmental control of currency conversion may delay or prevent us from using the proceeds of this offering to make loans to or make additional capital contributions to our PRC subsidiaries and consolidated affiliated entities, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand our business.”

We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of ADSs by the selling shareholders.

57

DIVIDEND POLICY

Our board of directors has discretion on whether to distribute dividends, subject to certain requirements of Cayman Islands law. In addition, our shareholders may by ordinary resolution declare a dividend, but no dividend may exceed the amount recommended by our board of directors. In either case, all dividends are subject to certain restrictions under Cayman Islands law, namely that our company may only pay dividends out of profits or share premium, and provided always that in no circumstances may a dividend be paid if this would result in our company being unable to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business. Even if we decide to pay dividends, the form, frequency and amount will depend upon our future operations and earnings, capital requirements and surplus, general financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors that the board of directors may deem relevant.

We do not have any present plan to pay any cash dividends on our ordinary shares in the foreseeable future after this offering. We currently intend to retain most, if not all, of our available funds and any future earnings to operate and expand our business.

We are a holding company incorporated in the Cayman Islands. We may rely on dividends from our subsidiaries in China for our cash requirements, including any payment of dividends to our shareholders. PRC regulations may restrict the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to pay dividends to us. See “Regulation—Regulations on Dividend Distribution.”

If we pay any dividends on our ordinary shares, we will pay those dividends which are payable in respect of the ordinary shares underlying our ADSs to the depositary, as the registered holder of such ordinary shares, and the depositary then will pay such amounts to our ADS holders in proportion to the ordinary shares underlying the ADSs held by such ADS holders, subject to the terms of the deposit agreement, including the fees and expenses payable thereunder. See “Description of American Depositary Shares.” Cash dividends on our ordinary shares, if any, will be paid in U.S. dollars.

Notes:

Our additional paid-in capital, total shareholders’ equity (deficit) and total capitalization following the completion of this offering are subject to adjustment based on the actual initial public offering price and other terms of this offering determined at pricing.

(2) A US$1.00 increase (decrease) in the assumed initial public offering price of US$                    per ADS, which is the midpoint of the estimated range of the initial public offering price shown on the front cover of this prospectus, would increase (decrease) each of additional paid-in capital, total shareholders’ equity (deficit), and total capitalization by US$                    million.

DILUTION

If you invest in our ADSs, your interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the initial public offering price per ADS and our net tangible book value per ADS after this offering. Dilution results from the fact that the initial public offering price per ordinary share is substantially in excess of the book value per ordinary share attributable to the existing shareholders for our presently outstanding ordinary shares on an as-converted basis.

Our net tangible book value as of June 30, 2018 was approximately US$181.7 million, or US$0.08 per ordinary share on an as-converted basis as of that date and US$                     per ADS. Net tangible book value represents the amount of our total consolidated tangible assets, less the amount of our total consolidated liabilities. Dilution is determined by subtracting net tangible book value per ordinary share on an as-converted basis, after giving effect to the additional proceeds we will receive from this offering, from the assumed initial public offering price of US$                     per Class A ordinary share, which is the midpoint of the estimated initial public offering price range set forth on the front cover of this prospectus adjusted to reflect the ADS-to-ordinary share ratio, and after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. Because the Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares have the same dividend and other rights, except for voting and conversion rights, the dilution is presented based on all issued and outstanding ordinary shares, including Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares.

Without taking into account any other changes in net tangible book value after June 30, 2018, other than to give effect to our sale of the ADSs offered in this offering at the assumed initial public offering price of US$                     per ADS, which is the midpoint of the estimated initial public offering price range shown on the front cover of this prospectus, after deduction of the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value as of June 30, 2018 would have been US$                     , or US$                     per ordinary share and US$                     per ADS. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of US$                     per ordinary share and US$                     per ADS to the existing shareholders and an immediate dilution in net tangible book value of US$                     per ordinary share and US$                     per ADS to investors purchasing ADSs in this offering. The following table illustrates such dilution:

	Per Ordinary Share		Per ADS
Assumed initial public offering price	US$		US$
Net tangible book value as of June 30, 2018	US$	0.08	US$
Pro forma net tangible book value after giving effect to the conversion of our preferred shares	US$		US$
Pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value after giving effect to the conversion of our preferred shares and this offering	US$		US$
Amount of dilution in net tangible book value to new investors in this offering	US$		US$

A US$1.00 increase (decrease) in the assumed initial public offering price of US$                     per ADS would increase (decrease) our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value after giving effect to this offering by US$                     , the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per ordinary share and per ADS after giving effect to this offering by US$                     per ordinary share and US$                     per ADS, and the dilution in pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per ordinary share and per ADS to new investors in this offering by US$                     per ordinary share and US$                     per ADS, assuming no change to the number of ADSs offered by us as set forth on the front cover of this prospectus, and after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

The following table summarizes, on a pro forma as adjusted basis as of June 30, 2018, the differences between existing shareholders and the new investors with respect to the number of ordinary shares (in the form of

61

ADSs or shares) purchased from us, the total consideration paid and the average price per ordinary share and per ADS paid before deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. The total number of ordinary shares does not include ordinary shares underlying the ADSs issuable upon the exercise of the over-allotment option granted to the underwriters.

	Ordinary Shares Purchased		Total Consideration				Average Price Per Ordinary Share	Average Price Per ADS
	Number	Percent	Amount	Percent
Existing shareholders			US$			%	US$	US$
New investors			US$			%	US$	US$
Total			US$		100.0	%

The pro forma as adjusted information discussed above is illustrative only. Our net tangible book value following the completion of this offering is subject to adjustment based on the actual initial public offering price of our ADSs and other terms of this offering determined at pricing.

The discussion and tables above assume no exercise of any share options or restricted share units outstanding as of the date of this prospectus. As of the date of this prospectus, there are 93,817,819 ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding share options at a weighted average exercise price of US$0.14 per share, and there are 76,000,667 outstanding restricted share units. To the extent that any of these options and restricted share units are exercised, there will be further dilution to new investors.

EXCHANGE RATE INFORMATION

Our reporting currency is the Renminbi because our business is mainly conducted in China and substantially all of our revenues are denominated in Renminbi. This prospectus contains translations of Renminbi amounts into U.S. dollars at specific rates solely for the convenience of the reader. The conversion of Renminbi into U.S. dollars in this prospectus is based on the exchange rate set forth in the H.10 Statistical release of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. Unless otherwise noted, all translations from Renminbi to U.S. dollars and from U.S. dollars to Renminbi in this prospectus were made at a rate of RMB6.6171 to US$1.00, the exchange rate in effect as of June 29, 2018. We make no representation that any Renminbi or U.S. dollar amounts could have been, or could be, converted into U.S. dollars or Renminbi, as the case may be, at any particular rate, the rates stated below, or at all. The PRC government imposes control over its foreign currency reserves in part through direct regulation of the conversion of Renminbi into foreign currency and through restrictions on foreign trade. On August 31, 2018, the exchange rate was RMB6.8300 to US$1.00.

The following table sets forth information concerning exchange rates between the Renminbi and the U.S. dollar for the periods indicated. These rates are provided solely for your convenience and are not necessarily the exchange rates that we used in this prospectus or will use in the preparation of our periodic reports or any other information to be provided to you.

ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

We are incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands as an exempted company with limited liability. We are incorporated in the Cayman Islands to take advantage of certain benefits associated with being a Cayman Islands exempted company, such as:

• political and economic stability;

• an effective judicial system;

• a favorable tax system;

• the absence of exchange control or currency restrictions; and

• the availability of professional and support services.

However, certain disadvantages accompany incorporation in the Cayman Islands. These disadvantages include but are not limited to:

• the Cayman Islands has a less developed body of securities laws as compared to the United States and these securities laws provide provides significantly less protection to investors as compared to the United States; and

• Cayman Islands companies may not have standing to sue before the federal courts of the United States.

Our constituent documents do not contain provisions requiring that disputes, including those arising under the securities laws of the United States, between us, our officers, directors and shareholders, be arbitrated.

Substantially all of our operations are conducted in China, and substantially all of our assets are located in China. A majority of our directors and executive officers are nationals or residents of jurisdictions other than the United States and most of their assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for a shareholder to effect service of process within the United States upon these individuals, or to bring an action against us or these individuals in the United States, or to enforce against us or them judgments obtained in United States courts, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States.

We have appointed                ,                 , as our agent upon whom process may be served in any action brought against us under the securities laws of the United States.

We have been informed by Maples and Calder (Hong Kong) LLP that the United States and the Cayman Islands do not have a treaty providing for reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments of U.S. courts in civil and commercial matters and that a final judgment for the payment of money rendered by any federal or state court in the United States based on civil liability, whether or not predicated solely upon the U.S. federal securities laws, would not be automatically enforceable in the Cayman Islands. We have also been advised by Maples and Calder (Hong Kong) LLP that a judgment obtained in any federal or state court in the United States will be recognized and enforced in the courts of the Cayman Islands at common law, without any re-examination of the merits of the underlying dispute, by an action commenced on the foreign judgment debt in the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands, provided such judgment (i) is given by a foreign court of competent jurisdiction, (ii) imposes on the judgment debtor a liability to pay a liquidated sum for which the judgment has been given, (iii) is final, (iv) is not in respect of taxes, a fine or a penalty, and (v) was not obtained in a manner and is not of a kind the enforcement of which is contrary to natural justice or the public policy of the Cayman Islands.

There is uncertainty as to whether the courts of the Cayman Islands would recognize or enforce judgments of United States courts obtained against us or our directors or officers predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States. Such uncertainty relates to

64

whether a judgment obtained from the United States courts under the civil liability provisions of the securities laws will be determined by the courts of the Cayman Islands as penal or punitive in nature. If such a determination is made, the courts of the Cayman Islands will not recognize or enforce the judgment against a Cayman Islands company or its directors and officers. Because the courts of the Cayman Islands have yet to rule on whether such judgments are penal or punitive in nature, it is uncertain whether they would be enforceable in the Cayman Islands.

Grandall Law Firm (Shanghai), our PRC legal counsel, has advised us that there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of China would:

• recognize or enforce judgments of United States courts obtained against us or our directors or officers predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States; or

• entertain original actions brought in each respective jurisdiction against us or our directors or officers predicated upon the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States.

Grandall Law Firm (Shanghai) has further advised us that the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments are provided for under the PRC Civil Procedures Law. PRC courts may recognize and enforce foreign judgments in accordance with the requirements of the PRC Civil Procedures Law and other applicable laws and regulations based either on treaties between China and the country where the judgment is made or on principles of reciprocity between jurisdictions. China does not have any treaties or other form of reciprocity with the United States or the Cayman Islands that provide for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments. In addition, according to the PRC Civil Procedures Law, courts in the PRC will not enforce a foreign judgment against us or our directors and officers if they decide that the judgment violates the basic principles of PRC law or national sovereignty, security or public interest. As a result, it is uncertain whether and on what basis a PRC court would enforce a judgment rendered by a court in the United States or in the Cayman Islands. Under the PRC Civil Procedures Law, foreign shareholders may originate actions based on PRC law against a company in China for disputes if they can establish sufficient nexus to the PRC for a PRC court to have jurisdiction, and meet other procedural requirements, including, among others, the plaintiff must have a direct interest in the case, and there must be a concrete claim, a factual basis and a cause for the suit. It will be, however, difficult for U.S. shareholders to originate actions against us in the PRC in accordance with PRC laws because we are incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands and it will be difficult for U.S. shareholders, by virtue only of holding our ADSs or ordinary shares, to establish a connection to the PRC for a PRC court to have jurisdiction as required under the PRC Civil Procedures Law.

CORPORATE HISTORY AND STRUCTURE

We launched our online fashion platform under the Mogujie brand in February 2011. Our holding company, MOGU Holdings Limited, was incorporated in the Cayman Islands in June 2011. MOGU Holdings Limited was subsequently renamed Meili Inc. in June 2016.

In June 2011, we incorporated MOGU (HK) Limited in Hong Kong. In July 2016, we renamed it Meili Group Limited, or Meili HK. In November 2011, Meili HK established a wholly-owned PRC subsidiary, Hangzhou Shiqu Information and Technology Co., Ltd., or Hangzhou Shiqu. In the same month, we obtained control over Hangzhou Juangua Network Co., Ltd., or Hangzhou Juangua, through Hangzhou Shiqu by entering into a series of contractual arrangements with Hangzhou Juangua and its shareholders.

In February 2016, we acquired Meiliworks Limited and its subsidiaries (including Meilishuo (Beijing) Network Technology Co., Ltd.) and consolidated affiliated entities, or Meilishuo, a leading online fashion platform in China, through a series of transactions. In the same month, we obtained control over Beijing Meilishikong Network and Technology Co., Ltd., or Beijing Meilishikong, which was incorporated in July 2010, through Hangzhou Shiqu by entering into a series of contractual arrangements with Beijing Meilishikong and its shareholders.

The following diagram illustrates our corporate structure, including our significant subsidiaries and consolidated affiliated entities, as of the date of this prospectus:

Notes:

The following is a summary of the currently effective contractual arrangements relating to Hangzhou Juangua and Beijing Meilishikong.

Contractual Arrangements with Our Consolidated Affiliated Entities and Their Respective Shareholders

Current PRC laws and regulations impose certain restrictions or prohibitions on foreign ownership of companies that engage in value-added telecommunication services and certain other businesses. We are a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands. Hangzhou Shiqu is our PRC subsidiary and a foreign-invested enterprise under PRC laws. To comply with PRC laws and regulations, we conduct certain of our business in China through Hangzhou Juangua and Beijing Meilishikong, our consolidated affiliated entities in the PRC which we collectively refer to as our VIEs in this prospectus, based on a series of contractual arrangements by and among Hangzhou Shiqu, our VIEs and their shareholders.

Our contractual arrangements with our VIEs and their respective shareholders allow us to (i) exercise effective control over our VIEs, (ii) receive substantially all of the economic benefits of our VIEs, and (iii) have an exclusive option to purchase all or part of the equity interests in our VIEs when and to the extent permitted by PRC law.

As a result of our direct ownership in Hangzhou Shiqu and the contractual arrangements with our VIEs, we are regarded as the primary beneficiary of our VIEs, and we treat them and their subsidiaries as our consolidated affiliated entities under U.S. GAAP. We have consolidated the financial results of our VIEs and their subsidiaries in our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Agreements that provide us with effective control over our VIEs

agreement and the amended and restated equity interest pledge agreement, as the case may be, Hangzhou Shiqu, as pledgee, will have the right to dispose of the pledged equity interests in Hangzhou Juangua and will have priority in receiving the proceeds from such disposal. The shareholders of Hangzhou Juangua also covenant that, without the prior written consent of Hangzhou Shiqu, they will not dispose of, create or allow any encumbrance on the pledged equity interests. Hangzhou Juangua covenants that, without the prior written consent of Hangzhou Shiqu, it will not assist or allow any encumbrance to be created on the pledged equity interests.

In the event that Mr. Chen sells his equity interests in Hangzhou Juangua to Hangzhou Shiqu or its designated person at a price equal to or less than the principal amount of the loans, the loans will be interest free and the loans shall be deemed to be duly repaid by Mr. Chen. If the price is higher than the principal amount of the loans, the excess amount will be deemed as interest on the loans paid to Hangzhou Shiqu. The term of the amended and restated loan agreement is 20 years from the date of the loan agreement, which may be extended upon mutual agreement.

Hangzhou Juangua agrees to pay Hangzhou Shiqu a quarterly service fee at an amount that is equal to Hangzhou Juangua’s revenue for the relevant quarter after deducting any applicable taxes, cost of revenues and retained earnings (which should be zero unless Hangzhou Shiqu otherwise agrees in writing) or an amount adjusted at Hangzhou Shiqu’s sole discretion for the relevant quarter, which should be paid within 10 business days after Hangzhou Juangua confirms in writing the amount and breakdown of the service fee for the relevant quarter. Hangzhou Shiqu has the exclusive ownership of all the intellectual property rights created as a result of the performance of the agreement.

Under each spousal consent letter, the signing spouse unconditionally and irrevocably agreed that the equity interest in Hangzhou Juangua and Beijing Meilishikong held by and registered in the name of her spouse be disposed of in accordance with the above-mentioned amended and restated exclusive option agreement, equity interest pledge agreement, shareholder voting proxy agreement and powers of attorney, as applicable, and that her spouse may perform, amend or terminate such agreements without her additional consent. Additionally, the spouse agreed not to assert any rights over the equity interest in Hangzhou Juangua or Beijing Meilishikong held by her spouse. In addition, in the event that the spouse obtains any equity interest in Hangzhou Juangua or Beijing Meilishikong held by her spouse for any reason, she agrees to be bound by and sign any legal documents substantially similar to the contractual arrangements, as may be amended from time to time.

In the opinion of Grandall Law Firm (Shanghai), our PRC legal counsel:

• the ownership structures of our VIEs in China and Hangzhou Shiqu, both currently and immediately after giving effect to this offering, are not in violation of applicable PRC laws and regulations currently in effect; and

• the contractual arrangements between Hangzhou Shiqu, our VIEs and their respective shareholders governed by PRC law are valid, binding and enforceable, and will not result in any violation of applicable PRC laws and regulations currently in effect.

69

However, our PRC legal counsel has also advised us that there are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of current and future PRC laws, regulations and rules. Accordingly, the PRC regulatory authorities may take a view that is contrary to the opinion of our PRC legal counsel. It is uncertain whether any new PRC laws or regulations relating to variable interest entity structures will be adopted or if adopted, what they would provide. If we or any of our VIEs are found to be in violation of any existing or future PRC laws or regulations, or fail to obtain or maintain any of the required permits or approvals, the relevant PRC regulatory authorities would have broad discretion to take action in dealing with such violations or failures. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Corporate Structure—If the PRC government finds that the agreements that establish the structure for operating certain of our operations in China do not comply with PRC regulations relating to the relevant industries, or if these regulations or the interpretation of existing regulations change in the future, we could be subject to severe penalties or be forced to relinquish our interests in those operations” and “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Doing Business in China—Uncertainties with respect to the PRC legal system and changes in laws and regulations in China could adversely affect us.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We use adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net loss, each a non-GAAP financial measure, in evaluating our operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes.

We believe that adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net loss help identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of certain expenses that we include in net loss. We believe that adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net loss provide useful information about our operating results, enhance the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by our management in its financial and operational decision-making.

Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net loss 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 review the historical non-GAAP financial measures to 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.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with the section entitled “Selected Consolidated Financial Data” and our consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties about our business and operations. Our actual results and the timing of selected events may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those we describe under “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus. See “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” We have prepared our financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our fiscal year ends on March 31 and references to fiscal years 2017 and 2018 are to the fiscal years ended March 31, 2017 and 2018, respectively.

Overview

We are a leading online fashion and lifestyle destination in China. We provide young people with a more accessible and enjoyable shopping experience for everyday fashion, particularly as they increasingly live their lives online. People shop not only to buy, but also for leisure, entertainment and to stay informed of the latest trends. Through innovative use of content, our platform provides a vibrant and dynamic community for people to discover and share the latest fashion trends with others, and offers our users a truly comprehensive shopping experience.

Our rich and diverse content distills styles and trends and guides our users along their shopping journey from discovery to purchase. This content mostly comes from our users, including a vibrant community of fashion influencers, as well as our in-house editorial team. Our highly engaging content comprises live video broadcasts, short-form videos, photographs and articles, covering topics including product reviews, fashion tips, brand fitting room, celebrity on-screen and street runway. Our platform features an extensive portfolio of live video broadcasts, where fashion influencers continuously promote and review products to our users and interact with their audience. In June 2018, we had live video broadcasts totaling approximately 3,500 hours on a daily basis. We also place links to products within our content to encourage and facilitate purchases. For example, when a user sees a certain item featured in a live video broadcast or a short-form video, or sees it recommended by a friend or fashion influencer through a like or share, the user can directly purchase that item.

We have scaled our GMV rapidly. Our total GMV increased by 24.6% from RMB11.8 billion for the year ended March 31, 2017 to RMB14.7 billion for the year ended March 31, 2018, and by 29.3% from RMB3.1 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2017 to RMB4.1 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2018. Our total revenues for the years ended March 31, 2017 and 2018 were RMB1,109.9 million and RMB973.2 million (US$147.1 million), respectively. Our total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2018 were RMB264.6 million and RMB255.9 million (US$38.7 million), respectively. We incurred loss from operations of RMB1,071.3 million and RMB847.4 million (US$128.1 million) for the years ended March 31, 2017 and 2018, respectively. We incurred loss from operations of RMB202.7 million and RMB116.5 million (US$17.6 million) for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2018, respectively. Our net loss was RMB939.1 million and RMB558.1 million (US$84.3 million) for the years ended March 31, 2017 and 2018, respectively. Our net loss was RMB170.7 million and RMB122.7 million (US$18.5 million) for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2018, respectively. Our adjusted EBITDA was negative RMB403.5 million and negative RMB384.2 million (US$58.1 million) for the years ended March 31, 2017 and 2018, respectively, and our adjusted net loss was RMB476.1 million and RMB420.2 million (US$63.5 million) for the years ended March 31, 2017 and 2018, respectively. Our adjusted EBITDA was negative RMB71.3 million and negative RMB58.9 million (US$8.9 million) for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2018, respectively, and our adjusted net loss was RMB83.2 million and RMB74.9 million (US$11.3 million) for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2018, respectively.

Key Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations

Our business and operating results are affected by the general factors affecting China’s retail industry, including China’s overall economic growth, the increase in per capita disposable income and the growth in consumer spending in China. In addition, they are also affected by factors driving online retail in China, such as the growing number of online shoppers, the improved logistics infrastructure and the increasing adoption of mobile payment. Furthermore, our business and operating results are influenced by PRC governmental policies and initiatives affecting the online content industry, particularly live video broadcasts and short-form videos. Changes in any of these general factors could affect the demand for products and services on our platform and our results of operations.

While our business is influenced by general factors affecting our industry in China generally, we believe our results of operations are more directly affected by the following specific factors, including:

• our ability to expand our user base, in particular our active buyers, and strengthen our user engagement;

• our ability to use our content to drive transactions for our merchants and brand partners;

• our ability to further diversify our monetization channels and enhance our monetization capabilities;

• our ability to effectively manage our sales and marketing efficiency;

• our ability to attract and retain talents and develop our technological infrastructure;

• our ability to effectively control our costs and operating expenses;

• our ability to make strategic acquisitions and investments; and

• our ability to maintain partnerships with key strategic partners.

We focus on attracting, engaging and retaining users on our platform. We measure our effectiveness in attracting, engaging and retaining users primarily through tracking our average mobile MAUs and active buyers. Our average mobile MAUs increased by 27.8% from 51.0 million in fiscal year 2017 to 65.2 million in fiscal year 2018, and our active buyers increased by 35.2% from 24.4 million in fiscal year 2017 to 33.0 million in fiscal year 2018.

Marketing services revenues. We generate revenues from marketing services by providing online marketing services, including display-based, search-based and native content-based advertisements and marketing services, to merchants and brand partners.

Commission revenues. We earn commissions from merchants on our platform when transactions are completed and settled. Such commissions are generally determined as an agreed percentage of the value of merchandise sold by merchants. We generally offer two categories of services to our merchants. We typically charge a commission rate of approximately 5% to merchants that choose our entry-level service offerings, which include basic operational support. For merchants who need fuller operational support, we offer incremental services through our prime service offerings, such as support on brand building, fashion influencer matching and deeper data analytics and insights.

As of June 30, 2018, the net carrying amount of our intangible assets was RMB88.9 million (US$13.4 million).

Impairment of goodwill and intangible assets. We recorded goodwill in connection with the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable assets and the liabilities acquired in our business combination with Meilishuo and our acquisition of Aimei Tech Holdings Limited in 2016. For further information, see Notes 13 and 14 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Other (expense)/income, net. Other (expense)/income, net, primarily consists of government grants, gains/(losses) on disposal of equipment, compensation cost on rental contracts termination, exchange (loss)/gain and others.

Taxation

Cayman Islands

The Cayman Islands currently levies no taxes on individuals or corporations based upon profits, income, gains or appreciation and there is no taxation in the nature of inheritance tax or estate duty. There are no other taxes likely to be material to us levied by the government of the Cayman Islands except for stamp duties which may be applicable on instruments executed in, or brought within the jurisdiction of the Cayman Islands. In addition, the Cayman Islands does not impose withholding tax on dividend payments.

Hong Kong

Our subsidiaries incorporated in Hong Kong are subject to 16.5% Hong Kong profit tax on their taxable income generated from operations in Hong Kong. Under the Hong Kong tax laws, we are exempted from the Hong Kong income tax on our foreign-derived income. In addition, payments of dividends from our Hong Kong subsidiary to us are not subject to any Hong Kong withholding tax. No provision for Hong Kong tax has been made in our consolidated financial statements, as our Hong Kong subsidiaries had not generated any assessable income in fiscal year 2017 or 2018.

PRC

Generally, our PRC subsidiaries, consolidated variable interest entities and their subsidiaries are subject to enterprise income tax on their taxable income in China at a statutory rate of 25%. The enterprise income tax is calculated based on the entity’s global income as determined under PRC tax laws and accounting standards.

We are generally subject to value-added tax at a rate of 16% on online sales and 6% on online marketing services, platform commissions, financing solutions, storage services and technical and consulting services. Certain PRC subsidiaries and VIEs are deemed as small taxpayers under PRC law, which subject them to reduced value-added tax rate of 3%. We are also subject to 3% cultural undertaking development fees on part of revenues from online marketing services, which are considered as advertising revenues. Furthermore, we are subject to 1% and 7% urban construction tax, 3% education surcharges, 2% local education surcharges and other surcharges on value-added tax payments during the fiscal years presented.

Hangzhou Shiqu Information and Technology Co., Ltd., our PRC subsidiary, and Hangzhou Juangua Network Co., Ltd., one of our consolidated variable interest entities, both qualified as national high and new technology enterprises, or HNTE, in November 2016, which reduced their enterprise income tax rate to 15%. Their HNTE statuses are set to expire by the end of November 2019. Meilishuo (Beijing) Network Technology Co., Ltd. qualified as a HNTE in July 2015, which also reduced its enterprise income tax rate to 15%. Such HNTE status expired at the end of July 2018.

79

Dividends paid by our wholly foreign-owned subsidiaries in China to our intermediary holding company in Hong Kong will be subject to a withholding tax rate of 10%, unless the relevant Hong Kong entity satisfies all the requirements under the Arrangement between China and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region on the Avoidance of Double Taxation and Prevention of Fiscal Evasion with respect to Taxes on Income and Capital and receives approval from the relevant tax authority. If our Hong Kong subsidiary satisfies all the requirements under the tax arrangement and receives approval from the relevant tax authority, then the dividends paid to the Hong Kong subsidiary would be subject to withholding tax at the standard rate of 5%. Effective from November 1, 2015, the above mentioned approval requirement has been abolished, but a Hong Kong entity is still required to file application package with the relevant tax authority, and settle the overdue taxes if the preferential 5% tax rate is denied based on the subsequent review of the application package by the relevant tax authority. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Corporate Structure—We may rely on dividends paid by our PRC subsidiaries to fund cash and financing requirements. Any limitation on the ability of our PRC subsidiary to pay dividends to us could have a material adverse effect on our ability to conduct our business and to pay dividends to holders of the ADSs and our ordinary shares.”

If our holding company in the Cayman Islands or any of our subsidiaries outside of China were deemed to be a “resident enterprise” under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, it would be subject to enterprise income tax on its worldwide income at a rate of 25%. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Doing Business in China—If we are classified as a PRC resident enterprise for PRC income tax purposes, such classification could result in unfavorable tax consequences to us and our non-PRC shareholders or ADS holders.”

	For the year ended March 31, 2017			For the year ended March 31, 2018			As of March 31, 2018
Meili Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries		11.9	%		58.1	%		67.2	%
Consolidated variable interest entities		88.1	%		41.9	%		32.8	%
Total revenues		100.0	%		100.0	%		100.0	%

Note:

(1) The percentages exclude the inter-company transactions and balances between Meili Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and the consolidated variable interest entities.

We migrated the operations of some of our businesses from our consolidated VIEs to our wholly-owned subsidiaries in the PRC in order to minimize any risks associated with our VIE corporate structure. For this reason, the revenue contribution of our consolidated VIEs decreased significantly between the years ended March 31, 2017 and 2018. We plan to continue to implement this strategy to the extent permitted by PRC law and anticipate the decreasing trend in the revenue contribution of our consolidated VIEs to be indicative of future operating results.

Three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to three months ended June 30, 2017

Revenues

Our revenues decreased by 3.3% from RMB264.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2017 to RMB255.9 million (US$38.7 million) in the three months ended June 30, 2018. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in revenues from marketing services, which was partially offset by increases in commission revenues and other revenues.

Our revenues from marketing services decreased by 30.7% from RMB146.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2017 to RMB101.8 million (US$15.4 million) in the three months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to our decision to strategically increase our focus on live video broadcasts as an effective and efficient content format to improve user engagement and experience, which affected the amount of marketing service properties available on our platform and the number of our marketing services customers. The number of our marketing services customers decreased by 15.8% from 8,251 in the three months ended June 30, 2017 to 6,950 in the three months ended June 30, 2018.

Our commission revenues increased by 11.1% from RMB105.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2017 to RMB117.6 million (US$17.8 million) in the three months ended June 30, 2018, primarily attributable to the increase in GMV from RMB3.1 billion in the three months ended June 30, 2017 to RMB4.1 billion in the three months ended June 30, 2018.

Other revenues increased significantly by 208.8% from RMB11.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2017 to RMB36.6 million (US$5.5 million) in the three months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to the growth of our financing solutions to users and merchants and technology services.

Costs and expenses

Our total costs and expenses decreased by 20.3% from RMB467.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2017 to RMB372.5 million (US$56.3 million) in the three months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease was primarily due to the cost savings realized following our business combination with Meilishuo.

82

Cost of revenues. Our costs of revenues decreased by 9.1% from RMB80.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2017 to RMB73.3 million (US$11.1 million) in the three months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in depreciation expenses by RMB11.5 million as we disposed of our servers when we switched to a third-party cloud-based network infrastructure.

Sales and marketing expenses. Our sales and marketing expenses decreased by 8.4% from RMB181.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2017 to RMB166.2 million (US$25.1 million) in the three months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in our user acquisition expenses by RMB31.7 million as we reduced our marketing activities on mobile platforms, partially offset by a RMB22.8 million increase in our expenses associated with our branding and marketing activities.

Research and development expenses. Our research and development expenses decreased by 13.4% from RMB72.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2017 to RMB63.1 million (US$9.5 million) in the three months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to the decrease in our payroll costs by RMB8.6 million as we reduced our employee headcount to optimize our organizational structure. Our research and development staff headcount decreased from 635 as of June 30, 2017 to 488 as of June 30, 2018.

General and administrative expenses. Our general and administrative expenses increased by 42.0% from RMB25.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2017 to RMB36.6 million (US$5.5 million) in the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase was primarily due to the increase in our payroll costs, including share-based compensation expenses, by RMB10.4 million. Although our general and administrative staff headcount decreased from 110 as of June 30, 2017 to 90 as of June 30, 2018, the share-based compensation expenses increased from RMB1.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2017 to RMB14.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2018, which resulted in the overall increase of payroll costs in general and administrative expenses.

Amortization of intangible assets. Our amortization of intangible assets decreased by 74.5% from RMB109.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2017 to RMB28.0 million (US$4.2 million) in the three months ended June 30, 2018 as a result of the historical full amortization of the intangible assets of a company we acquired.

Other (expenses)/income, net. We had other net expense of RMB5.3 million (US$0.8 million) in the three months ended June 30, 2018, compared to other net income of RMB3.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2017. The decrease was primarily attributable to foreign exchange loss derived from our U.S. dollar-denominated cash balances. The fluctuations in the exchange rate between the Renminbi and U.S. dollars resulted in a change from a foreign exchange gain in the three months ended June 30, 2017 of RMB1.9 million to a foreign exchange loss in the three months ended June 30, 2018 of RMB4.9 million.

Loss from operations

As a result of the foregoing, we incurred loss from operations of RMB116.5 million (US$17.6 million) in the three months ended June 30, 2018, compared to loss from operations of RMB202.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2017.

Other gains

Interest income. Interest income represents interest earned on short-term investments and cash deposits in financial institutions. We had interest income of RMB6.2 million and RMB7.9 million (US$1.2 million) in the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2018, respectively. The increase was primarily attributable to the higher interest rates on our short-term investments in the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared with those in the three months ended June 30, 2017.

83

Income tax benefit

We recorded income tax benefit of RMB5.0 million (US$0.8 million) in the three months ended June 30, 2018, compared to RMB25.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2017. The decrease was primarily attributable to the decrease in reversed deferred tax liabilities relating to intangible assets arisen from our historical acquisitions of other businesses.

Share of results of equity investee

We recorded share of results of equity investee of negative RMB19.0 million (US$2.9 million) in the three months ended June 30, 2018, compared to nil in the three months ended June 30, 2017.

Net loss

As a result of the foregoing, we incurred net loss of RMB122.7 million (US$18.5 million) in the three months ended June 30, 2018, compared to net loss of RMB170.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2017.

Year ended March 31, 2018 compared to year ended March 31, 2017

Revenues

Our revenues decreased by 12.3% from RMB1,109.9 million in the year ended March 31, 2017 to RMB973.2 million (US$147.1 million) in the year ended March 31, 2018. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in revenues from marketing services, which was partially offset by increases in commission revenues and other revenues. We recently embarked on a number of new business initiatives, including focusing our platform on the provision of fashion content in rich media formats and our emphasis on live video broadcasts and other engaging socially-oriented sales methods. Since these business initiatives have been implemented for a limited period of time and are not yet at scale, it is difficult for us to evaluate the effect, if any, they will bring to our financial prospects. As a result, we cannot reasonably predict the future trends of our marketing service revenues, our commission revenues or our total revenues.

In the year ended March 31, 2018, we strategically increased our focus on live video broadcasts as an effective and efficient content format to improve user engagement and experience, which affected the amount of marketing service properties available on our platform and the number of our marketing services customers. The number of our marketing services customers decreased by 12.4% from 17,522 in the year ended March 31, 2017 to 15,358 in the year ended March 31, 2018. As a result, our revenues from marketing services decreased by 35.6% from RMB740.3 million in the year ended March 31, 2017 to RMB476.6 million (US$72.0 million) in the year ended March 31, 2018.

Our commission revenues increased by 28.0% from RMB325.3 million in the year ended March 31, 2017 to RMB416.3 million (US$62.9 million) in the year ended March 31, 2018, primarily attributable to the increase in GMV from RMB11.8 billion in the year ended March 31, 2017 to RMB14.7 billion in the year ended March 31, 2018. The growth of GMV on our platform was in turn driven by the size of our active buyer base and level of user engagement. Total active buyers in fiscal year 2018 reached 33.0 million, a growth of 35.2%, compared with 24.4 million in fiscal year 2017. Our average mobile MAUs increased by 27.8% from 51.0 million in fiscal year 2017 to 65.2 million in fiscal year 2018.

Other revenues increased by 81.3% from RMB44.3 million in the year ended March 31, 2017 to RMB80.3 million (US$12.1 million) in the year ended March 31, 2018, primarily due to the growth of our financing solutions to users and merchants.

84

Costs and expenses

Our total costs and expenses decreased by 16.5% from RMB2,181.2 million in the year ended March 31, 2017 to RMB1,820.6 million (US$275.1 million) in the year ended March 31, 2018. The decrease was primarily due to the cost savings following our business combination with Meilishuo, and, to a lesser extent, the termination of a cross-border business. As these were one-off events, and combined with the recent implementation of the aforementioned new business initiatives that are not yet at scale, we cannot reasonably predict the future trends of our costs and expenses.

Cost of revenues. Our costs of revenues decreased by 15.9% from RMB377.8 million in the year ended March 31, 2017 to RMB317.7 million (US$48.0 million) in the year ended March 31, 2018. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in payroll costs by RMB40.1 million which reflected our decreased headcounts and salaries and benefits, including share-based compensation expenses, as well as the decrease of depreciation expenses by RMB20.6 million as we disposed of our servers when we switched to a third-party cloud-based network infrastructure. Our operational staff headcount, whose salaries and benefits are included in cost of revenues, decreased from 250 as of March 31, 2017 to 179 as of March 31, 2018.

Sales and marketing expenses. Our sales and marketing expenses increased by 8.0% from RMB692.7 million in the year ended March 31, 2017 to RMB747.9 million (US$113.0 million) in the year ended March 31, 2018. The increase was primarily due to the RMB78.2 million increase of our expenses associated with our branding and marketing activities, partially offset by the RMB25.0 million decrease of payroll costs, including share-based compensation expenses for our sales and marketing personnel. Our sales and marketing staff headcount decreased from 244 as of March 31, 2017 to 192 as of March 31, 2018.

Research and development expenses. Our research and development expenses decreased substantially by 30.9% from RMB418.5 million in the year ended March 31, 2017 to RMB289.3 million (US$43.7 million) in the year ended March 31, 2018, primarily due to the decrease in payroll costs, including share-based compensation expenses, by RMB99.2 million in line with our decreased headcounts and salaries and benefits for our research and development personnel, which reflected the cost savings realized from our business combination with Meilishuo. Our research and development staff headcount decreased from 685 as of March 31, 2017 to 538 as of March 31, 2018.

General and administrative expenses. Our general and administrative expenses decreased by 18.9% from RMB123.4 million in the year ended March 31, 2017 to RMB100.1 million (US$15.1 million) in the year ended March 31, 2018. The decrease was primarily due to the decreases in administrative expenses by RMB11.4 million and in payroll costs by RMB9.3 million resulting from the optimization of our organizational structure and staff management, and the cost savings following our business combination with Meilishuo. Our general and administrative staff headcount decreased from 132 as of March 31, 2017 to 96 as of March 31, 2018.

Amortization of intangible assets. Our amortization of intangible assets decreased by 12.8% from RMB440.8 million in the year ended March 31, 2017 to RMB384.6 million (US$58.1 million) in the year ended March 31, 2018 as the net carrying amount of the intangible assets of a company we acquired decreased in fiscal year 2017.

Impairment of goodwill and intangible assets. We had impairment of goodwill and intangible assets of nil in the year ended March 31, 2018, compared to RMB110.6 million in the year ended March 31, 2017 as a result of the termination of a cross-border business in fiscal year 2017, primarily because we decided to sharpen our focus on our current business model.

Other (expenses)/income, net. We had other net income of RMB19.0 million (US$2.9 million) in the year ended March 31, 2018, compared to other net expense of RMB17.4 million in the year ended March 31, 2017. The increase was primarily attributable to foreign exchange gains derived from our U.S. dollar-denominated intra-group balances. The fluctuations in the exchange rate between the Renminbi and U.S. dollars resulted in a change from a foreign exchange loss in fiscal year 2017 to a foreign exchange gain in fiscal year 2018.

85

Loss from operations

As a result of the foregoing, we incurred loss from operations of RMB847.4 million (US$128.1 million) in fiscal year 2018, compared to loss from operations of RMB1,071.3 million in fiscal year 2017.

Other gains

Interest income. Interest income represents interest earned on short-term investments and cash deposits in financial institutions. We had interest income of RMB24.5 million and RMB33.5 million (US$5.1 million) in fiscal years 2017 and 2018, respectively. The increase was primarily attributable to our more proactive cash management policy.

Investment gain. Investment gain represents the measurement of the difference between the fair value of the equity interests we have in an investee company that we invested in since January 2018 and the carrying amount of our non-cash contribution to such investee company. We had an investment gain of RMB158.6 million (US$24.0 million) in the year ended March 31, 2018 compared to an investment gain of nil in the year ended March 31, 2017.

Gains on deconsolidation of a subsidiary. We had gains on deconsolidation of subsidiary of nil and RMB13.6 million (US$2.1 million) in fiscal years 2017 and 2018, respectively.

Income tax benefit

We recorded income tax benefit of RMB88.7 million (US$13.4 million) in fiscal year 2018, compared to RMB107.7 million in fiscal year 2017. Our income tax benefits result from the reversal of significant deferred tax liabilities relating to intangible assets arisen from our historical acquisitions of other businesses.

Share of results of equity investee

We recorded share of results of equity investee of negative RMB5.0 million (US$0.8 million) in the year ended March 31, 2018, compared to nil in the year ended March 31, 2017.

Net loss

As a result of the foregoing, we incurred net loss of RMB558.1 million (US$84.3 million) in the year ended March 31, 2018, compared to net loss of RMB939.1 million in the year ended March 31, 2017.

86

Segment Information

We determined that we used to operate in two operating segments, namely cross-border business and domestic business. Our cross-border business was terminated at the end of 2016 primarily because we decided to sharpen our focus on our current business model. Since terminating such cross-border business, we have only had one single operating segment. In the year ended March 31, 2017, our costs and expenses incurred from the cross-border business were RMB67.0 million, including sales and marketing expenses of RMB27.8 million. Our revenues from cross-border business for the year ended March 31, 2017 were included in other revenues for the same year.

We experience seasonality in our business, primarily as a result of seasonal fluctuations in personal consumption needs and patterns. For example, our revenues are generally lower during the Chinese New Year holiday season, which is typically in our fourth fiscal quarter ending March 31. Also, online retail sales in China are generally higher in the fourth quarter of each calendar year than during the rest of the year as merchants typically engage in more online marketing to promote sales volume during this period and the average price per item for apparel is usually higher during the winter season. As a result, we generally generate more revenues in our third fiscal quarter ending December 31. The performance of our business is subject to seasonal fluctuations, and our revenues and operating results may fluctuate from quarter to quarter due to seasonal variations in the demand for our featured products and online marketing services. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business and Industry—Our results of operations may be affected by seasonality and weather conditions.”

Similar to the trends in our revenues, our cost of revenues and sales and marketing expenses to a lesser extent, generally experienced seasonal fluctuations as well during these periods. Except for the increase between

88

our first and second fiscal quarters of 2018 as a result of our payment to certain employees with whom we terminated the employment, our research and development expenses generally decreased during these periods as we streamlined our research and development function and incurred less payroll costs. Our general and administrative expenses have been generally decreasing during these periods as we continued to optimize our general and administrative functions. The slight increase in the second fiscal quarter of 2018 was primarily because we incurred more expenses due to the annual team retreat in September 2017, while the increase in the first fiscal quarter of 2019 was primarily due to a large amount of share-based compensation we granted in this quarter to retain and attract seasoned staff. The income tax benefits decreased in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2018 and further decreased in the first fiscal quarter of 2019 primarily due to the continued decrease in our reversed deferred tax liabilities relating to the intangible assets acquired from our historical acquisition of other businesses. Due to our limited operating history, the seasonal trends that we have experienced in the past may not apply to, or be indicative of, our future operating results.

To date, we have financed our operating and investing activities primarily through cash generated by our operations and historical financing activities. As of March 31, 2017 and 2018, respectively, our cash and cash equivalents were RMB1,270.3 million and RMB1,224.4 million (US$185.0 million). Our cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of cash on hand, time deposits as well as highly liquid investments, which have original maturities of three months or less. As of March 31, 2017 and 2018, respectively, our short-term investments were RMB400.6 million and RMB130.0 million (US$19.6 million). Short-term investments consist of time deposits placed with banks with original maturities longer than three months but less than one year, and investments in wealth management products issued by banks or other financial institutions, which contain a fixed or variable interest rate with original maturities within one year.

We believe that our current cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments will be sufficient to meet our anticipated working capital requirements and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months. After this offering, we may decide to enhance our liquidity position or increase our cash reserve for future investments

89

through additional capital and finance funding. The issuance and sale of additional equity would result in further dilution to our shareholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased fixed obligations and could result in operating covenants that would restrict our operations. We cannot assure you that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

As of March 31, 2018, 46.0%, 29.3% and 24.7% of our cash and cash equivalents were held in China, Hong Kong and the Cayman Islands, respectively, of which 54.0% were denominated in U.S. dollars and 46.0% were denominated in Renminbi. As of March 31, 2018, all of our short-term investments were held in China and denominated in Renminbi. Although we consolidate the results of our variable interest entities and their subsidiaries, we only have access to the assets or earnings of our variable interest entities and their subsidiaries through our contractual arrangements with our variable interest entities and their shareholders. See “Corporate History and Structure—Contractual Arrangements with Our Consolidated Affiliated Entities and Their Respective Shareholders.” For restrictions and limitations on liquidity and capital resources as a result of our corporate structure, see “—Holding Company Structure.”

In utilizing the proceeds we expect to receive from this offering, we may make additional capital contributions to our PRC subsidiaries, establish new PRC subsidiaries and make capital contributions to these new PRC subsidiaries, make loans to our PRC subsidiaries, or acquire offshore entities with operations in China in offshore transactions. However, most of these uses are subject to PRC regulations. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Doing Business in China—PRC regulation of loans to and direct investment in PRC entities by offshore holding companies and governmental control of currency conversion may delay or prevent us from using the proceeds of this offering to make loans to or make additional capital contributions to our PRC subsidiaries and consolidated affiliated entities, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand our business” and “Use of Proceeds.”

We expect that substantially all of our future revenues will be denominated in Renminbi. Under existing PRC foreign exchange regulations, payments of current account items, including profit distributions, interest payments and trade and service-related foreign exchange transactions, can be made in foreign currencies without prior SAFE approval as long as certain routine procedural requirements are fulfilled. Therefore, our PRC subsidiaries are allowed to pay dividends in foreign currencies to us without prior SAFE approval by following certain routine procedural requirements. However, approval from or registration with competent government authorities is required where the Renminbi is to be converted into foreign currency and remitted out of China to pay capital expenses such as the repayment of loans denominated in foreign currencies. The PRC government may at its discretion restrict access to foreign currencies for current account transactions in the future.

Operating activities

Net cash used in operating activities in the three months ended June 30, 2018 was RMB17.6 million (US$2.7 million). The principal items accounting for the difference between net cash used in operating activities and net loss of RMB122.7 million (US$18.5 million) in the same period were RMB32.1 million (US$4.9 million) in depreciation and amortization, RMB25.5 million (US$3.9 million) in share-based compensation expenses and RMB19.0 million (US$2.9 million) in share of result of equity investee.

Net cash used in operating activities in fiscal year 2018 was RMB314.9 million (US$47.6 million). The difference between net cash used in operating activities and net loss of RMB558.1 million (US$84.3 million) in the same period was primarily due to a decrease of RMB458.0 million (US$69.2 million) in prepayments and other current assets, primarily as a result of the change in the fund settlement process in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018, where payments made by users for products sold on our platform no longer go through our bank account before reaching the accounts of merchants. Such difference is partially offset by a decrease of RMB416.0 million (US$62.9 million) in accruals and other current liabilities primary for the same reason stated above. The principal non-cash items affecting the difference between our net loss and our net cash used in operating activities in fiscal year 2018 were RMB446.4 million (US$67.5 million) in depreciation and amortization and RMB16.8 million (US$2.5 million) in share-based compensation expenses.

90

Net cash used in operating activities in fiscal year 2017 was RMB832.5 million. The difference between net cash used in operating activities and net loss of RMB939.1 million in the same period was primarily due to an increase of RMB418.3 million in prepayments and other current assets as a result of significant increase in receivables from third-party service providers. The principal non-cash items affecting the difference between our net loss and our net cash used in operating activities in fiscal year 2017 were RMB536.4 million in depreciation and amortization and RMB110.6 million in impairment of goodwill and intangible assets.

Investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities in the three months ended June 30, 2018 was RMB56.6 million (US$8.6 million), primarily due to purchase of short-term investments.

Net cash provided by investing activities in fiscal year 2018 was RMB340.5 million (US$51.5 million), primarily due to proceeds from maturity of short-term investments of RMB2,315.2 million (US$349.9 million), cash received from loan repayment of RMB2,204.7 million (US$333.2 million) and disposal of property of equipment of RMB37.3 million (US$5.6 million), partially offset by cash paid for loan originations of RMB2,159.8 million (US$326.4 million) and purchase of short-term investments of RMB2,044.6 million (US$309.0 million).

Net cash used in investing activities in fiscal year 2017 was RMB541.6 million, primarily due to cash paid for loan originations of RMB1,999.6 million and purchase of short-term investments of RMB1,276.4 million, partially offset by proceeds from cash received from loan repayment of RMB1,937.8 million and maturity of short-term investments of RMB890.9 million.

Financing activities

Net cash provided by financing activities in the three months ended June 30, 2018 was RMB1.0 million (US$0.1 million).

Net cash provided by financing activities in fiscal year 2018 was RMB7.1 million (US$1.1 million).

Net cash provided by financing activities in fiscal year 2017 was RMB195.0 million, primarily due to proceeds from issuance of convertible redeemable Series C-3 preferred shares, net of issuance costs.

Capital expenditures

Our capital expenditures are primarily incurred for purchases of electronic equipment, furniture and office equipment, as well as leasehold improvements. Our capital expenditures were RMB23.7 million in fiscal year 2017, RMB5.2 million (US$0.8 million) in fiscal year 2018, and RMB1.7 million (US$0.3 million) in the three months ended June 30, 2018. We intend to fund our future capital expenditures with our existing cash balance, short-term investments and proceeds from this offering. We will continue to make capital expenditures to meet the expected growth of our business.

Note:

(1) Operating lease obligations consist of the obligations under the lease agreements covering various facilities.

Other than as shown above, we did not have any significant capital and other commitments, long-term obligations or guarantees as of March 31, 2018.

Off-Balance Sheet Commitments and Arrangements

We have not entered into any financial guarantees or other commitments to guarantee the payment obligations of any third parties. In addition, we have not entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to our shares and classified as shareholder’s equity or that are not reflected in our consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, we do not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity. We do not have any variable interest in any unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit support to us or engages in leasing, hedging or product development services with us.

Critical Accounting Policies

An accounting policy is considered critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time such estimate is made, and if different accounting estimates that reasonably could have been used, or changes in the accounting estimates that are reasonably likely to occur periodically, could materially impact the consolidated financial statements.

We prepare our financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which requires us to make judgments, estimates and assumptions. We continually evaluate these estimates and assumptions based on the most recently available information, our own historical experiences and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Since the use of estimates is an integral component of the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from our expectations as a result of changes in our estimates. Some of our accounting policies require a higher degree of judgment than others in their application and require us to make significant accounting estimates.

The following descriptions of critical accounting policies, judgments and estimates should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes and other disclosures included in this prospectus. When reviewing our financial statements, you should consider (i) our selection of critical accounting policies, (ii) the judgments and other uncertainties affecting the application of such policies and (iii) the sensitivity of reported results to changes in conditions and assumptions.

Principles of consolidation

Our consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of our company, our subsidiaries, our consolidated variable interest entities and their respective subsidiaries for which we are the ultimate primary beneficiary. All transactions and balances among our company, our subsidiaries, our consolidated variable interest entities and their respective subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Business combination and non-controlling interests

We account for our business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805 “Business Combinations.” The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the acquisition date fair values of the assets transferred and liabilities incurred by our company to the sellers and equity instruments issued. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets and liabilities acquired or assumed are measured separately at their fair values as of the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any non-controlling interests. The excess of

92

(i) the total costs of acquisition, fair value of the non-controlling interests and acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest in the acquiree over (ii) the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the acquiree is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized directly in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. During the measurement period, which can be up to one year from the acquisition date, we may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the values of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

In a business combination achieved in stages, we re-measure the previously held equity interest in the acquiree immediately before obtaining control at our acquisition-date fair value, and the re-measurement gain or loss, if any, is recognized in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

When there is a change in ownership interests or a change in contractual arrangements that results in a loss of control of a subsidiary or a consolidated variable interest entity, we deconsolidate the subsidiary or consolidated variable interest entity from the date our control is lost. Any retained non-controlling investment in the former subsidiary or consolidated variable interest entity is measured at fair value and is included in the calculation of the gain or loss upon deconsolidation of the subsidiary or consolidated variable interest entity.

For our majority-owned subsidiaries, consolidated variable interest entities and their respective subsidiaries, non-controlling interests are recognized to reflect the portion of their equity that is not attributable, directly or indirectly, to our company as the controlling shareholder. Non-controlling interests are classified as a separate line item in the equity section of our Consolidated Balance Sheets and have been separately disclosed in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss to distinguish the interests from that of our company.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination.

Goodwill is not depreciated or amortized but is tested for impairment on an annual basis as of March 31, and in between annual tests when an event occurs or circumstances change that could indicate that the asset might be impaired. In accordance with the FASB guidance on “Testing of Goodwill for Impairment,” a company first has the option to assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If the company decides, as a result of its qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the quantitative impairment test is mandatory. Otherwise, no further testing is required. The quantitative impairment test consists of a comparison of the fair value of each reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the carrying amount of each reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss equal to the difference between the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill and the carrying amount of goodwill will be recorded. Application of a goodwill impairment test requires significant management judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assigning assets and liabilities to reporting units, assigning goodwill to reporting units, and determining the fair value of each reporting unit. The judgment in estimating the fair value of reporting units includes estimating future cash flows, determining appropriate discount rates and making other assumptions. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value for each reporting unit.

As of March 31, 2017 and 2018, we only had one reporting unit, which was the domestic business reporting unit. The goodwill balance of RMB1,569 million mainly arose from the acquisition of Meiliworks Limited in February 2016. Goodwill is attributable to the synergies expected from the combined operations of Meiliworks

93

Limited and us, the assembled workforce, and their knowledge and experience in the domestic e-commerce business and the amount is attributable to the domestic business reporting unit.

We performed annual impairment test on the goodwill on March 31 of each year. Considering qualitative factors that we were loss making and had operating cash outflow, we concluded that a two-step goodwill impairment test was required.

In estimating the fair value of the domestic business reporting unit in the first step of the impairment test, significant judgment was required. In using the income approach methodology of valuation, we determined the fair value of the domestic business reporting unit based on cash flow projection of the reporting unit until the year ended March 31, 2024 with a terminal value related to the future cash flows extrapolated beyond the year ended March 31, 2024 using an expected future growth rate. Key assumptions used to determine the fair value of the domestic business reporting unit included annual revenue growth rates and earning before interests and income tax (“EBIT”) margins, discount rates, and expected future growth rates beyond forecast period. The revenue growth rates used were estimated based on past experience, current industry environment and forecasts of future market developments, and did not exceed the long-term average growth rates of the industry we operate. We estimated budgeted EBIT margins based on past experience and forecasts of future market developments. The discount rate used by us was the weighted average cost of capital that was able to reflect the risks. The expected future growth rates beyond forecast period were estimated based on the long-term inflation rate of China. In using the market approach methodology of valuation, we made judgments related to the selection of comparable businesses. The valuation model assumes that our revenues will recover from a downturn and keep growing, and reasonable profits and positive cash flows can be generated from our business within a defined period of time.

Based on the result of the goodwill impairment testing, the estimated fair value of the domestic business reporting unit exceeded its carrying amount by approximately 179% and 313% as of March 31, 2017 and 2018, respectively. Therefore, the second step of the impairment test for the domestic business reporting unit is not necessary and no impairment of goodwill related to the domestic business reporting unit was recognized during the year ended March 31, 2017 and 2018.

Our overall business growth may slow down or become negative, and our revenues may decline for a number of possible reasons, some of which are beyond our control, including decreasing consumer spending, increasing competition, declining growth of our overall market or industry, the emergence of alternative business models, changes in rules, regulations, government policies or general economic conditions. These may materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations, which could reasonably be expected to negatively affect the key assumptions used. We performed a sensitivity analysis for the domestic business reporting unit based on key assumptions used in our annual goodwill impairment tests. A reasonably possible change of within 10% range in key assumptions, such as revenue growth rates, EBIT margins and discount rates identified for the domestic business reporting unit, would not cause the reporting unit’s carry amount to exceed its fair value as of March 31, 2017 and 2018.

Revenue recognition

We adopted ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” for all periods presented. Consistent with the criteria of Topic 606, we recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services.

To achieve that core principle, we apply five steps defined under Topic 606. We assess our revenue arrangements against specific criteria in order to determine if we are acting as principal or agent. Revenue arrangements with multiple performance obligations are divided into separate units of accounting. We allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation based on the relative standalone selling prices of the goods

94

or services being provided. Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised goods or services to a customer.

Revenue is recorded net of value-added-tax. Revenue recognition policies for each type of revenue stream are analyzed as follows:

Marketing services revenues

We provide marketing services to merchants and brand partners that help them promote their products in designated areas on our platform directly or via social network platforms over particular periods of time that will then divert users back to our platform. Such services are charged at fixed prices or at prices established through our online auction system. In general, merchants and brand partners need to prepay for the marketing services. Revenue is recognized ratably over the period during which the content is displayed, or when the content or offerings are clicked or viewed by users, or when an underlying transaction is completed by a merchant.

Commission revenues

We operate our online platform for merchants to sell their merchandise to our users and also provide integrated platform-wide services. When the transactions are completed on our platform, we charge merchants commissions at their respective agreed percentage of the amount of merchandise sold by merchants. We identify that arranging for the provision of products by merchants for each successful transaction and the provision of integrated services are separate performance obligations. We apply the practical expedient that allocates the commission revenues for the integrated services to the respective day on which we have the right to invoice. We do not control the underlying merchandise provided by merchants before they are transferred to users, as we are not responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the merchandise to users and have no inventory risk before the merchandise are transferred to the users or after the control is transferred to the users. In addition, we have no discretion in establishing prices of the merchandise provided by merchants. Commission revenues are recognized on a net basis at the point of users’ acceptance of merchandise.

Commissions are refundable if and when users return the merchandise to merchants and the refund is recognized as variable consideration. We offer refund to merchants based on percentages of estimated commissions of a specific period. We identify the refund as a performance obligation and recognize it as a contract liability. The estimations are reassessed and adjusted at the end of each reporting period.

We also offer volume refund to merchants based on the cumulative sales they generate on our platform during a certain period. Within a certain period, if the total sales generated by a merchant reaches a pre-agreed threshold, the merchant is entitled to a refund of a certain percentage of the commission paid to us. We identify the volume refund as a performance obligation and recognize it at its standalone selling price as a contractual liability. The amount of contractual liabilities involves an estimation of a merchant’s sales amount during a certain period and the related percentage to calculate the volume refund. Such estimation is reassessed and adjusted at the end of each reporting period.

Other revenues

Other revenues primarily consist of the revenues from financing solutions and other services. Financing solutions include loans to users and merchants through factoring arrangements and services to facilitate financial institutions to provide loans to merchants and users on our platform. For financing solutions to merchants and users through factoring arrangements, we record loan receivables when the cash is advanced to the users or merchants, and the service fees are recognized over the term of loans. For services to financial institutions, revenue is recognized when the fund is drawn down by the borrowers or over the financing period on a straight-line basis.

95

Remaining performance obligations

Revenue allocated to remaining performance obligations represents that portion of the overall transaction price that has been received (or for which we have an unconditional right to payment) allocated to performance obligations that we have not yet fulfilled, which is presented as deferred revenue that has not yet been recognized. As of March 31, 2018, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was RMB7.1 million, which was expected to be recognized as revenue in 12 months.

Fair value measurement of the ordinary shares of JM Weshop

We determined the fair value of the ordinary shares of JM Weshop by using income approach. The key assumptions adopted in the valuation as of March 1, 2018 are as follows:

	As of March 1, 2018
Revenue growth rate		10% - 200%
Gross margin rate		(20)% - 53.5%
Discount rate		26%

Share-Based Compensation

We adopted the Global Share Plan, a share incentive plan, in 2011 for the purpose of granting share-based compensation awards to employees, directors and consultants to incentivize their performance and align their interests with ours. As of the date of this prospectus, the maximum aggregate number of shares which may be issued pursuant to all awards is 316,317,652 ordinary shares.

We accounted for the share-based compensation costs on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the award based on the fair value on their respective grant dates. Upon the deemed exercise of the options, we recognized the receipts in the escrow account of the exercise amount paid by employees in accruals and other current liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets.

Valuation of stock options

We use the binominal option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock options. The assumptions used to value our option grants were as follows:

	For the Year Ended March 31,
	2017	2018
Expected term	10 years	10 years
Expected volatility	49.24% - 50.37%	47.49%
Exercise multiple	2.2 - 2.8	2.2 - 2.8
Expected dividend yield	—	—
Risk-free interest rate	1.58 - 1.7%	2.4%
Expected forfeiture rate (post vesting)	3% for staff 0% for management	3% for staff 0% for management
Fair value of the underlying shares on the date of option grants (US$)	0.37 - 0.40	0.45
Fair value of share option (US$)	0.11 - 0.39	0.14

The fair value of each of our ordinary shares increased from US$0.37 as of May 1, 2016 to US$0.40 as of September 30, 2016 and further to US$0.45 as of June 30, 2017. The increase in fair value of our ordinary shares was attributable to organic growth of our business.

We estimated the risk-free interest rate based on the yield to maturity of U.S. treasury bonds denominated in U.S. dollars at the option valuation date. The exercise multiple is estimated as the ratio of fair value of underlying shares over the exercise price as at the time the option is exercised, based on a consideration of empirical studies

96

on the actual exercise behavior of employees. Expected term is the contract life of the option. The expected volatility at the date of grant date and each option valuation date was estimated based on the historical stock prices of comparable companies. We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our capital stock, and we do not anticipate any dividend payments in the foreseeable future.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Prior to this offering, we have been a private company with limited accounting personnel and other resources with which to address our internal control over financial reporting. In connection with the audits of our consolidated financial statements included in this prospectus, we and our independent registered public accounting firm identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. As defined in the standards established by the U.S. Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, a “material weakness” is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

The material weakness that has been identified relates to our lack of sufficient financial reporting and accounting personnel with appropriate knowledge of U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting requirements to properly address complex U.S. GAAP accounting issues and to prepare and review our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures to fulfill U.S. GAAP and SEC financial reporting requirements. The material weakness, if not timely remedied, may lead to significant misstatements in our consolidated financial statements in the future.

We have implemented and plan to implement a number of measures to address the material weakness that has been identified in connection with the audits of our consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended March 31, 2017 and 2018. We have hired additional qualified financial and accounting staff with working experience of U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting requirements. We have also established clear roles and responsibilities for accounting and financial reporting staff to address complex accounting and financial reporting issues. Furthermore, we will continue to further expedite and streamline our reporting process and develop our compliance process, including establishing a comprehensive policy and procedure manual, to allow early detection, prevention and resolution of potential compliance issues, and establishing an ongoing program to provide sufficient and appropriate training for financial reporting and accounting personnel, especially training related to U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting requirements. We intend to conduct regular and continuous U.S. GAAP accounting and financial reporting programs and send our financial staff to attend external U.S. GAAP training courses. We also intend to hire additional resources to strengthen the financial reporting function and set up a financial and system control framework. However, we cannot assure you that all these measures will be sufficient to remediate our material weakness in time, or at all. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business and Industry—If we fail to implement and maintain an effective system of internal controls to remediate our material weakness over financial reporting, we may be unable to accurately report our results of operations, meet our reporting obligations or prevent fraud.”

As a company with less than US$1.07 billion in revenue for our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” pursuant to the JOBS Act. An emerging growth company may take advantage of specified reduced reporting and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. These provisions include exemption from the auditor attestation requirement under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 in the assessment of the emerging growth company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Holding Company Structure

Meili Inc. is a holding company with no material operations of its own. We conduct our operations primarily through our PRC subsidiaries, our consolidated variable interest entities and their subsidiaries in China. As a result, Meili Inc.’s ability to pay dividends depends upon dividends paid by our PRC subsidiaries. If our existing PRC subsidiaries or any newly formed ones incur debt on their own behalf in the future, the instruments

97

governing their debt may restrict their ability to pay dividends to us. In addition, our wholly foreign-owned subsidiaries in China are permitted to pay dividends to us only out of their retained earnings, if any, as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. Under PRC law, each of our subsidiaries and consolidated variable interest entities in China is required to set aside at least 10% of its after-tax profits each year, if any, to fund certain statutory reserve funds until such reserve funds reach 50% of their registered capital. In addition, our wholly foreign-owned subsidiaries in China may allocate a portion of their after-tax profits based on PRC accounting standards to enterprise expansion funds and staff bonus and welfare funds at their discretion, and our consolidated variable interest entities may allocate a portion of their after-tax profits based on PRC accounting standards to a surplus fund at their discretion. The statutory reserve funds and the discretionary funds are not distributable as cash dividends. Remittance of dividends by a wholly foreign-owned company out of China is subject to examination by the banks designated by SAFE. Our PRC subsidiaries have not paid dividends and will not be able to pay dividends until they generate accumulated profits and meet the requirements for statutory reserve funds. Total restrictions placed on the distribution of our PRC subsidiaries and consolidated variable interest entities’ net assets was RMB4,362 million as of June 30, 2018.

Inflation

To date, inflation in China has not materially affected our results of operations. According to the National Bureau of Statistics of China, the year-over-year percent changes in the consumer price index for March 2016, 2017 and 2018 were increases of 2.3%, 0.9% and 2.1%, respectively. Although we have not been materially affected by inflation in the past, we may be affected if China experiences higher rates of inflation in the future.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Foreign exchange risk

Substantially all of our revenues and expenses are denominated in RMB. We do not believe that we currently have any significant direct foreign exchange risk and have not used any derivative financial instruments to hedge exposure to such risk. Although our exposure to foreign exchange risks should be limited in general, the value of your investment in our ADSs will be affected by the exchange rate between U.S. dollar and Renminbi because the value of our business is effectively denominated in RMB, while our ADSs will be traded in U.S. dollars.

The value of Renminbi against the U.S. dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in political and economic conditions and the foreign exchange policy adopted by the PRC government. On July 21, 2005, the PRC government changed its policy of pegging the value of the Renminbi to the U.S. dollar. Following the removal of the U.S. dollar peg, the Renminbi appreciated more than 20% against the U.S. dollar over the following three years. Between July 2008 and June 2010, this appreciation halted and the exchange rate between the Renminbi and the U.S. dollar remained within a narrow band. Since June 2010, the PRC government has allowed the Renminbi to appreciate slowly against the U.S. dollar again, and it has appreciated more than 10% since June 2010. On August 11, 2015, the People’s Bank of China announced plans to improve the central parity rate of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar by authorizing market-makers to provide parity to the China Foreign Exchange Trading Center operated by the People’s Bank of China with reference to the interbank foreign exchange market closing rate of the previous day, the supply and demand for foreign currencies as well as changes in exchange rates of major international currencies. Effective from October 1, 2016, the International Monetary Fund added Renminbi to its Special Drawing Rights currency basket. Such change and additional future changes may increase volatility in the trading value of the Renminbi against foreign currencies. The PRC government may adopt further reforms of its exchange rate system, including making the Renminbi freely convertible in the future. Accordingly, it is difficult to predict how market forces or PRC or U.S. government policy may impact the exchange rate between Renminbi and the U.S. dollar in the future.

To the extent that we need to convert U.S. dollars into Renminbi for our operations, appreciation of Renminbi against the U.S. dollar would reduce the Renminbi amount we receive from the conversion.

98

Conversely, if we decide to convert Renminbi into U.S. dollars for the purpose of making payments for dividends on our ordinary shares or ADSs, servicing our outstanding debt, or for other business purposes, appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the Renminbi would reduce the U.S. dollar amounts available to us.

As of June 30, 2018, we had Renminbi-denominated cash and cash equivalents of RMB1,188.6 million. A 10% depreciation of Renminbi against the U.S. dollar based on the foreign exchange rate on June 29, 2018 would result in a decrease of US$16.3 million in such cash and cash equivalents. A 10% appreciation of Renminbi against the U.S. dollar based on the foreign exchange rate on June 29, 2018 would result in an increase of US$20.0 million in such cash and cash equivalents.

Interest rate risk

Our exposure to interest rate risk primarily relates to the interest income generated by excess cash, which is mostly held in interest-bearing bank deposits and wealth management products. Interest-earning instruments carry a degree of interest rate risk. We have not been exposed to material risks due to changes in interest rates, and we have not used any derivative financial instruments to manage our interest risk exposure.

After completion of this offering, we may invest the net proceeds we receive from the offering in interest-earning instruments. Investments in both fixed rate and floating rate interest earning instruments carry a degree of interest rate risk. Fixed rate securities may have their fair market value adversely impacted due to a rise in interest rates, while floating rate securities may produce less income than expected if interest rates fall.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01 Financial Instruments—Overall (Subtopic 825-10) “Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” The amendments in this ASU require all equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in the fair value recognized through non-operating income (other than those accounted for under equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee). The amendments in this accounting standard update also require an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments. In addition, the amendments in this accounting standard update eliminate the requirement to disclose the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost for entities that are not public business entities and the requirement to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet for public business entities. For public business entities that are U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filers, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities including not-for-profit entities and employee benefit plans within the scope of Topics 960 through 965 on plan accounting, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. All entities that are not public business entities may adopt the amendments in this Update earlier as of the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We elected to adopt this new guidance as non-public entity in the year ended March 31, 2020 and interim periods in the year ended March 31, 2021. We are currently evaluating and do not believe the adoption of the rest of the standard will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires that a lessee should recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from operating leases. A lessee should recognize in the balance sheet a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. If a

99

lessee makes this election, it should recognize lease expenses for such lease generally on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years for public entities. For all other entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early application of the amendments in this Update is permitted for all entities. The Company elected to adopt this new guidance for the years ended March 31, 2021 and interim periods in the year ended March 31, 2021. We are currently evaluating the impact ASU 2016-02 will have on our consolidated financial statements, and expects that most existing operating lease commitments will be recognized as operating lease obligations and right-of-use assets as a result of adoption.

In June 2016, the FASB amended guidance related to the impairment of financial instruments as part of ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. For public business entities that are U.S. SEC filers, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, including not-for-profit entities and employee benefit plans within the scope of Topics 960 through 965 on plan accounting, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. All entities may adopt the amendments in this Update earlier as of the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We elected to adopt this new guidance for the year ended March 31, 2022 and interim periods in the year ended March 31, 2022. The guidance replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology with an expected credit loss model for which we are required to recognize an allowance based on our estimate of expected credit loss. We are currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. ASU 2016-15 provides guidance for targeted changes with respect to how cash receipts and cash payments are classified in the statements of cash flows, with the objective of reducing diversity in practice. The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. We elected to adopt this new guidance as non-public entity for the year ended March 31, 2020 and interim periods in the year ended March 31, 2020. We are in the process of evaluating the impact of this accounting standard update on our consolidated statements of cash flows.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04 Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350). Under the amendments in this Update, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Additionally, an entity should consider income tax effects from any tax deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable. The Board also eliminated the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment and, if it fails that qualitative test, to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. A public business entity that is a U.S. SEC filer should adopt the amendments in this Update for its annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. A public business entity that is not an SEC filer should adopt the amendments in this Update for its annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. All other entities, including not-for-profit entities, which are adopting the amendments in this Update should do so for their annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. We elected to adopt this new guidance for the year ended March 31, 2022 and

100

interim periods in the year ended March 31, 2022. We do not believe the adoption of the standard will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09 Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718). The Board is issuing this Update to provide clarity and reduce both (1) diversity in practice and (2) cost and complexity when applying the guidance in Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, to a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. The amendments in this Update provide guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period, for (1) public business entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued and (2) all other entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been made available for issuance. We elected to adopt this new guidance as non-public entity for the year ended March 31, 2019 and interim periods in the year ended March 31, 2019. We do not believe the adoption of the standard will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

INDUSTRY

Growth of Mobile Shopping in China

Young people in China have grown up using mobile internet for their social interaction, shopping, information sharing and entertainment, among others. According to iResearch, there are 414 million young people born between 1985 and 2009 in China. They spent an average of 4.8 hours a day on mobile internet in 2017 and this figure is expected to increase. Young females, in particular, are generally passionate about the latest fashion and beauty trends and used to online shopping. According to a survey conducted by iResearch in June 2018, or the Survey, approximately 2,500 young females of ages between 15 and 32 responded that they spent approximately 19.7% of their time on mobile internet for shopping. Additionally, young females in China tend to start shopping by first browsing fashion content online or with their friends before deciding what to buy. According to the Survey, 70.2% of the respondents typically do not have any specific item in mind before they go shopping. Online fashion content and social interaction help them discover what they want.

Online Fashion Content

According to iResearch, the majority of the creation, production and distribution of fashion content takes place online nowadays. The quantity of online fashion content continues to grow rapidly. More formats have emerged from diverse content creators. The evolution and development of online content has reshaped the way merchants interact with consumers, as it offers a more interactive and customized way to present fashion ideas and products whilst reaching a wider audience.

Content format

The format of online content is increasingly rich and diverse. Driven by the growing availability and affordability of 4G networks, online fashion content has become more real-time and multi-dimensional. It has evolved from just articles and photograph, to more interactive formats, such as short-form videos and live video broadcasts.

Short-form videos present content and products to consumers in greater detail and are increasingly popular in China. Building on the success of short-form videos, live video broadcasts are also gaining popularity as they allow more personal, real-time interactions between hosts and audience. These new formats are effective in helping consumers better understand the products, particularly whether they are suitable to them, and ultimately driving merchants’ sales. According to iResearch, by April 2018, nine out of the top 20 e-commerce platforms ranked by the number of unique visits in China already have embedded live video broadcasts.

Content creation

Merchants are increasingly focused on the new fashion content formats. In addition, there are many other types of producers who are actively curating and creating online fashion content. These include traditional fashion media, online platforms, fashion influencers and the general public. Depending on the nature of the content creators, online fashion content can be broadly classified into professionally-generated content, or PGC, and user-generated content, or UGC.

PGC is primarily produced by professional fashion editors and fashion influencers, which emphasizes visual craftsmanship and exemplifies closer attention to details. PGC created by fashion influencers is more effective to young females as they perceive it to be more credible. Hence, fashion influencers are becoming increasingly important in enhancing user engagement, promoting brand awareness and driving sales.

UGC primarily features the sharing of day-to-day experiences amongst the general public, and is a way for young people to express themselves. UGC complements PGC and is perceived to be more genuine, interactive

102

and relatable to users. According to the Survey, 57.9% of the respondents have posted fashion reviews, published fashion critiques or shared their fashion ideas online. The growth of online fashion platforms has provided a number of new forums and opportunities for young people to share their views and exchange ideas with one another.

Content distribution

Online fashion content and information are delivered through a variety of channels, such as general content platforms, social platforms and dedicated fashion platforms. Amongst these, dedicated fashion platforms typically have the most up-to-date information on fashion trends and styles. According to the Survey, a majority of the respondents prefer to browse fashion content on dedicated fashion platforms.

Consumers tend to share their views and shopping experience on social platforms, creating more fashion content online. According to the Survey, the respondents spent approximately 23.9% of their mobile internet time on social media on average. According to the Survey, Mogujie is well recognized in China as a leading fashion content platform for young people.

Monetization

Marketing and e-commerce are among the most common ways for monetizing online fashion content. According to the Survey, a majority of the respondents often made purchases because of the fashion content they viewed. They also prefer content platforms where they can buy directly once they have decided what to buy. The respondents appreciate Mogujie’s one-stop shopping capabilities that help bridge fashion content and purchase.

Marketing

As content comes in various formats, with embedded products, it attracts more viewers and has stronger influence on consumers. New and diverse content formats also provide various opportunities to more naturally and seamlessly embed products. Embedded advertising has a stronger influence on consumers than traditional display- or search-based advertising. As a result, merchants are focusing more on the use of online content to tap into their target markets. According to iResearch, online fashion marketing expenditure in China reached approximately RMB190.6 billion (US$30.4 billion) in 2017 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 22.5% to RMB525.4 billion (US$83.8 billion) in 2022.

E-commerce

According to iResearch, the online penetration rate of fashion retail is expected to increase from 21.2% in 2017 to 32.5% in 2022. The GMV of China’s fashion e-commerce market increased from approximately

103

RMB436.0 billion (US$69.5 billion) in 2013 to RMB2,546.2 billion (US$405.9 billion) in 2017, representing a CAGR of 55.5%. The GMV is expected to further increase to RMB6,967.6 billion (US$1,110.8 billion) in 2022, representing a CAGR of 22.3% from 2017.

Mission

Our mission is to make fashion accessible to everyone.

Who We Are

We are a leading online fashion and lifestyle destination in China. We provide young people with a more accessible and enjoyable shopping experience for everyday fashion, particularly as they increasingly live their lives online. People shop not only to buy, but also for leisure, entertainment and to stay informed of the latest trends. Through innovative use of content, our platform provides a vibrant and dynamic community for people to discover and share the latest fashion trends with others, and offers our users a truly comprehensive shopping experience.

Our rich and diverse content distills styles and trends and guides our users along their shopping journey from discovery to purchase. This content mostly comes from our users, including a vibrant community of fashion influencers, as well as our in-house editorial team. Our highly engaging content comprises live video broadcasts, short-form videos, photographs, and articles covering topics including product reviews, fashion tips, brand fitting room, celebrity on-screen and street runway. Our platform features an extensive portfolio of live video broadcasts, where fashion influencers continuously promote and review products to our users and interact with their audience. In June 2018, we had live video broadcasts totaling approximately 3,500 hours on a daily basis. We also place links to products within our content to encourage and facilitate purchases. For example, when a user sees a certain item featured in a live video broadcast or a short-form video, or sees it recommended by a friend or fashion influencer through a like or share, the user can directly purchase that item.

Users access our platform primarily through mobile, including our flagship Mogujie app, as well as through our Mini Programs on Weixin. Through our strategic partnership with Tencent, one of our principal shareholders and the owner of Weixin and QQ, we also have one of the few dedicated Weixin Pay and QQ Wallet entryways that help direct Tencent’s massive base of users to our platform when they look to fulfill their fashion- and lifestyle-related needs. Our highly engaged user base primarily consists of young females between the ages of 15 and 30. For the year ended March 31, 2018, we had an average of 65.2 million mobile MAUs on our platform. In June 2018, on average, a user who clicked the live video broadcasts on our platform spent over 35 minutes per day on watching our live video broadcasts. In determining the number of such users, if an individual actively uses multiple devices or accounts to access our live video broadcasts simultaneously, such individual would be counted as multiple “users” in calculating the above average time spent.

We are a technology-driven company that has relentlessly pursued the development of industry-leading AI and big data analytics capabilities to improve operational efficiency and user experience. Our user data is multi-dimensional as it relates to our users’ shopping behaviors, fashion tastes and purchasing history, which enables us to provide better and more personalized experience for them.

Our content-driven platform allows us not only to guide users through their entire shopping journey but also to generate revenues at multiple points. This in turn helps us provide online marketing services to our merchants and brand partners. We also receive commissions from our merchants for transactions completed through our platform. Our total GMV increased by 24.6% from RMB11.8 billion for the year ended March 31, 2017 to RMB14.7 billion for the year ended March 31, 2018, and by 29.3% from RMB3.1 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2017 to RMB4.1 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2018. Our total revenues for the years ended March 31, 2017 and 2018 were RMB1,109.9 million and RMB973.2 million (US$147.1 million), respectively. Our total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2018 were RMB264.6 million and RMB255.9 million (US$38.7 million), respectively. We incurred loss from operations of RMB1,071.3 million and RMB847.4 million (US$128.1 million) for the years ended March 31, 2017 and 2018, respectively. We

Our net loss was RMB939.1 million and RMB558.1 million (US$84.3 million) for the years ended March 31, 2017 and 2018, respectively.

How is Meili Different?

Unique content-driven online shopping experience for users

We are a leading online destination for fashion and lifestyle in China. We use highly relevant, interactive and multi-media content to inform our users of the latest fashion and lifestyle trends and products, and influence their purchase decisions. While our content helps make fashion more relatable, our embedded transaction links allow users to purchase the products that they are interested in quickly and easily. We believe this combination of content with readily available products is highly effective in driving transactions.

Rich and diverse original fashion content offerings

We have rich and diverse original content that is highly relevant for our user base covering a variety of fashion-related topics, including product reviews, fashion tips, brand fitting room, celebrity on-screen and street runway. This content is interactive and largely in the form of short-form videos, live video broadcasts, articles, and photographs, contributed both by our in-house team and our user community, including our vibrant community of fashion influencers. Moreover, as users are able to both share their own content and follow that from others, our content will continue to grow as our base of engaged users expands.

Highly personalized and engaging shopping experience

Using technology and the data that we collect, we curate content through automated and editor-facilitated processes to match users’ tastes and preferences. Additionally, the ability for our users, including our fashion influencers, to share their own fashion insights and shopping experience adds a uniquely social element to the shopping experience that makes it more engaging. Personalized and curated content along with the social elements on our platform help engage our users around topics and products that are specifically of interest to them. By understanding what appeals to each of our users, we curate the most relevant content and products to maximize user engagement and increase conversion. This makes us a highly effective marketing channel for our merchants and brand partners. In the year ended March 31, 2018, on average, 8.9% of our mobile MAUs were active buyers on a monthly basis, while average daily time spent on our platform per active buyer was 47.2 minutes.

Leadership in data and technology enhances shopping experience

We are a technology company and we continuously pursue innovation through technology, using it to improve our operational efficiency, our users’ fashion discovery and shopping experience as well as our merchant and brand partners’ marketing efforts. We interact with our users across the entire fashion shopping journey, collecting data along the way. As a result, our data is multi-dimensional and provides more context and insights than that of pure commerce platforms. We apply AI and data analytics on user-content interactions and a broad spectrum of image and video data to identify seasonal fashion elements and topics as well as to provide

106

personalized curation. With this data and proprietary analytics, we are able to better tailor the user experience for all of our users, particularly as it relates to fashion content, by taking into consideration human taste and stylistic preferences. For example, we are able to recommend a number of different products to be worn together by a user of certain physical features in very specific settings. Additionally, our data and analytics allow us to provide our merchant and brand partners with insights and tools to manage and optimize their operations as well as fine-tune their products to fit users’ tastes.

Pioneering and experienced management team

We have an experienced senior management team, led by our co-founders, Mr. Qi Chen, Mr. Yibo Wei and Mr. Xuqiang Yue. Mr. Chen is a pioneer of online fashion in China. Through years of fine-tuning, our management team has developed our innovative shopping experience. Our co-founder, chairman and chief executive officer, Mr. Qi Chen, has been recognized as one of six China E-Commerce Innovation Pioneers of the Year by the International E-Commerce Innovation Association (IECIA) and has more than ten years of experience in e-commerce. Additionally, our management team has deep expertise across a number of sectors and disciplines, including social media, e-commerce, fashion, content and big data analytics, as well as extensive experience working at Fortune 500 companies.

Our Growth Strategies

We intend to pursue our mission to make fashion accessible to everyone and continue to grow our fashion platform through the following key growth strategies:

Grow and enrich our content base

We plan to enhance our ability to provide highly relevant and personalized content to our users to cement our position as the destination for fashion and lifestyle content in China. We will continue to invest in our in-house editorial team and strengthen our ability to produce content that is appealing and topical to our users. We will explore and establish content partnerships and implement new media formats to help drive engagement and conversion. We will also deeper collaborations with merchants and brand partners, and help fashion influencers produce content that is more targeted and leads to higher transaction conversion.

Continue to improve our shopping experience

We seek to continue to improve the overall shopping experience on our platform to drive higher user engagement and better help our users find what they are looking for. We plan to expand and enhance our content and products across various fashion and lifestyle verticals, including apparel, beauty, family, kids, home and travel, to attract and satisfy our users’ ever-evolving needs. We also intend to continue to foster social interactions within our user community.

Deepen collaboration with merchants and brand partners through more value-added services

We will focus on deepening our collaboration with high-quality merchants and brand partners to help them become more visible, produce and sell products that resonate well with users, and generally run more sustainable and profitable operations. As part of this, we plan to expand our value-added services, including more online marketing solutions and analytics tools that allow merchants and brand partners to better optimize their marketing.

Continue to enhance our technology and data capabilities

We will continue to invest in technology including artificial intelligence and data analytics that will allow us to draw deeper insights from the interactions that take place between our users, content and products. We seek to

107

use these insights to continue to enhance and personalize our user experience through better content and products. We will also invest in our technology infrastructure to ensure reliability and enhance appeal of our services as we continue to scale and grow.

Pursue strategic partnership, investment and acquisition opportunities

We intend to pursue suitable strategic partnerships, investments and acquisitions. Potential partners may include brands that offer products that are especially appealing to our users, as well as content, media and technology providers that would complement our existing capabilities and enhance our ability to capture a larger segment of the fashion and lifestyle value chain.

Our Online Platform

Our platform serves as a vibrant and dynamic community that allows people to both discover and share the latest fashion trends with others and transact with merchants for a comprehensive selection of attractive fashion products. Our users primarily access our online platform through our flagship Mogujie mobile app and our Mini Programs on Weixin. An increasing number of our users have been accessing our mobile platform through Mini Programs, as is demonstrated by the contribution of Mini Programs to our total GMV, which increased from 6.8% for the year ended March 31, 2017 to 17.8% for the year ended March 31, 2018. In addition, our online platform also includes our Mogujie.com and Meilishuo.com websites.

Mobile apps

When users open our flagship Mogujie mobile app, they will immediately see our featured fashion content, unlike the typical user interfaces of mobile e-commerce platforms in China. As users scroll down, various additional fashion topics appear, such as outfit ideas, today’s top picks, and fashion news and trends. As users enter the fashion news and trends section, a top navigation bar appears that includes top selections, outfit, reviews, celebrities, photography, and makeup. In addition, users can directly browse and search for products based on brand, category, product functionality, and can sort product listings by popularity and price. We also display our product offerings on our Meilishuo mobile app, which directs users to our Mogujie mobile app to make purchases.

Below is a screenshot of our mobile app user interface:

Weixin Mini Programs

Mini Program is an innovative platform built into Weixin, facilitating discovery and consumption of services and products. It is useful for discovery and quick actions, and complements full-function native apps by increasing their downloads and traffic. Our Mini Programs on Weixin include Mogujie and Super Shopping Center, which feature similar interfaces and functions as our mobile apps. Users can also access our Mini Programs through Weixin Pay. These Mini Programs serve as additional access points to our platform.

Our Users

Our young and engaged user base is the key to our success. Our users are from towns and cities all over China. Most of our active buyers are females of ages between 15 and 30, who are passionate about the latest fashion and beauty trends, active on social networks, and used to online shopping. In the year ended March 31, 2018, we had average mobile MAUs of 65.2 million.

Fashion Influencers

On our platform, we have a group of popular content creators, who we call “fashion influencers.” Fashion influencers are very active in creating and sharing content on the latest fashion trends. Content created by our fashion influencers helps shape purchasing decisions of users on our platform and encourage social interactions. Our fashion influencers include live video broadcast hosts, fashion icons, models, photographers, and other opinion leaders. We had approximately 46,000 fashion influencers on our platform as of June 30, 2018.

The screenshot below illustrates our fashion influencers and examples of the content created by them on our platform:

We closely monitor user activities and original content generated through our platform to discover potential fashion influencers. After identifying users who are passionate about sharing their experience and able to create original and engaging fashion content, we encourage them to partner with our platform, which not only gives them access to our broad user base, but also helps them monetize their content in multiple ways. Our fashion influencers actively promote products offered by our merchants and brand partners and directly earn commissions from them.

109

We are also able to capitalize on their content creation capabilities and marketing skills that lead to enhanced sales of merchants on our platform. In addition, we attract and work with established opinion leaders that have existing fan bases by entering into cooperative agreements with them either directly or through their talent agencies. We have not provided any significant compensation to opinion leaders and content creators.

Fashion Content

Our online platform serves as a one-stop destination where we distill fashion styles and trends into engaging content tailored for our users, guide them along their journey to an informed purchase decision and allow them to effortlessly act on those decisions and fulfill their transactions. Through our large and diversified content, we aim to efficiently facilitate users’ discovery of fashion trends and products with enjoyable user experience. We also make a comprehensive selection of product offerings of our merchants and brand partners integrated with the fashion content on our platform so as to capture every purchase impulse, meet the fast-evolving fashion tastes and needs of users and deliver a seamless user experience.

The screenshot below illustrates a user’s discovery of fashion products integrated with the fashion content available on our platform:

Content Type and Format

We strive to provide our users with the broadest range of high-quality and engaging original content, catering to both popular and niche tastes in fashion and helping users relate to fashion and broadly revolve around different fashion and lifestyle topics, such as fashion and lifestyle tips, try-outs and reviews. Our content is available in a variety of multi-media formats, including:

• Live Video Broadcasts. Live video broadcasts are mostly hosted by our fashion influencers and are interactive, immersive and fun. Our live video broadcast function has also proven to be an effective means of promoting products to our key user demographics. Live video broadcasts contributed RMB1.7 billion, or 11.8% of our total GMV for the year ended March 31, 2018, compared with RMB0.2 billion, or 1.4% for the year ended March 31, 2017. We determine the total GMV contributed by live video broadcasts based on the total GMV generated through the direct product purchase

111

function that is embedded in the live video broadcasting interfaces of our mobile apps and Mini Programs. The average number of our mobile MAUs who clicked the live video broadcasts on our platform increased by 98.3% from fiscal year 2017 to fiscal year 2018.

As of June 30, 2018, we had over 17,000 fashion influencers actively hosting live video broadcasts, during which they constantly promote and sell fashion products. While watching these live video broadcasts, users can interact with our fashion influencers in real time through embedded instant messaging tools, and conveniently purchase products promoted by the hosts within the same interface. Among the users who watched our live video broadcasts and made a purchase during fiscal year 2018, 84.3% made another purchase within the following 30 days.

• Short-form Videos. We believe we have established a proven approach to producing popular, original, short-form videos and have continually released popular original titles and series, covering topics such as fashion tips, make-up lessons and lifestyle guides. Our experienced and large pool of in-house editors incubate original ideas and present them in aesthetically pleasing video format and collaborate closely with brands, models and other partners in the content creation process. In addition, our users can also upload short-form videos after completing our content screening procedures.

• Photography. Our users and fashion influencers upload photographs on our platform to express their opinions and experience on fashion and lifestyle, including global fashion.

• Online Review Community. We have established a large and active online review community. To help users make informed purchasing decisions, we display recent purchases of each fashion product to highlight the item’s popularity and encourage previous purchasers to share their feedback. Our product description and reviews include detailed quantitative analysis, photo illustrations and other visual aids.

• Featured Articles. Our in-house content team and fashion influencers scour the world of fashion to bring our assessment of the latest fashion to our readers through featured articles on seasonal products. Our textual reviews and critique essays cover a wide spectrum of reader interests, ranging from mainstream to emerging brands. Our library of fashion reviews and critiques effectively influences purchase decisions of our users and supports the curation of fashion merchandise on our platform.

Our comprehensive and rich content provides us with continuous monetization opportunities. Through products embedded within the content on our platform and social network platforms, we provide marketing services to our merchants and brand partners to enable them to promote their brands and products. See “Monetization—Marketing Services.”

Creation and Curation

We focus on original fashion content, which includes both content produced in-house and content generated in collaboration with or by our fashion influencers. Our content is constantly refreshed to ensure that it is relevant and interesting to our users. We take pride in having a vibrant online community of fashion influencers and users who actively contribute original and inspiring fashion content.

We have built a team of seasoned fashion editors who play a critical role in our content creation. Many of our full-time senior editors have years of experience with well-recognized fashion publishers. Leveraging our users’ feedback, our editors not only produce fashion content themselves, but provide fashion influencers with valuable advice and insights on how to improve their fashion knowledge and the commercial and artistic value of their works and help them stay abreast of the latest fashion trends. From time to time, our editors create new categories of fashion content to meet the evolving tastes and preferences of our users. Our editors also manage the distribution of our content across our own platform, as well as major social network platforms in China.

Empowered by our AI and big data capabilities, we enable our fashion influencers to curate personalized fashion content so as to attract targeted audience more effectively and meet their diversified fashion preferences. We study the social and purchasing behaviors of users. Through our automated recommendation algorithm, we integrate our curated content with the most relevant merchandise and make customized recommendation to our users, meeting their different fashion needs and creating a unique and engaging user experience.

112

Integration with Social Network Platforms

We believe our dynamic user community contributes to our content base and brings it to life through interactive social network platforms. We distribute our content through all major social communications, social media and content platforms in China, encouraging users to share and repost our content, which amplifies our brand image and enables us to reach more potential users. We primarily publish our fashion content through Weixin, QQ and Weibo and have attracted loyal fan followings across these platforms. As of June 30, 2018, we had more than 38 million followers across our presence on major social network platforms in China.

We relentlessly pursue the latest innovative social media marketing tools to make our platform more accessible and enjoyable. We leverage the functions of major social network platforms in China to enable our users to make purchases as part of their social activities. We believe we were one of the pioneers of socially-oriented marketing in China, as we believe we have a proven track record of launching simple and fun social features and other marketing campaigns that have developed into viral internet memes as they were shared and multiplied over social media networks.

Fashion E-commerce

Merchants

For the year ended March 31, 2018, we had over 22,000 active merchants offering products for sale on our platform.

Sourcing

We have a dedicated team that is responsible for sourcing merchants. Our product sourcing efforts are influenced by our content, and we source merchants based on our astute understanding of fashion and accurate analysis and prediction of fashion trends.

Once potential merchants are identified and pass our review and assessment process, they are allowed to sell their products on our platform. Our selection mechanism helps to ensure that our merchants are of high standards and good reputation to meet our users’ expectations. We enter into standard service agreements with our merchants, which typically have indefinite terms but may be terminated by either party with 30-day advance notice.

Our Support

We enable our merchants to open multiple storefronts on our platform to showcase their extensive product offerings. We provide them with software and other platform-wide services, helping them to promote their products and facilitate their transactions on our platform. Our sophisticated AI and big data analytic capabilities empower our merchants to identify their target purchasers and better curate and offer tailored products to address the evolving needs and preferences of our users. To facilitate sales of our merchants, we match our merchants with the most suitable fashion influencers and organize major promotional events regularly on our platform. Through all these means, we improve the efficiency of our merchants’ operations and marketing efforts and drive their growth.

Quality Control

We encourage merchants to make product quality their priority. Our service agreements require merchants to represent that the products they supply are authentic, are from legitimate sources and do not infringe upon rights of third parties, and to indemnify us for any damages resulting from any breach of such representations. In addition, merchants on our platforms are required to offer consumer protection programs, such as nation-wide free shipment services, guaranteed timely shipment and returns and product warranties. We monitor and control the quality and performance of our merchants through multiple policies and measures, such as security deposit.

113

Featured Products

We give our users the accessibility and freedom to dress in style and confidently express themselves by offering a wide selection of fashion apparel and other lifestyle products, such as beauty products and accessories. We supplement our fashion product offerings with a variety of carefully selected lifestyle products in order capture a broader spectrum of user demands. In addition, to expand our e-commerce service offerings for our users, we previously operated a cross-border business to provide cross-border shopping facilitation services to our users. We terminated such business at the end of 2016 primarily because we decided to sharpen our focus on our current business model.

While merchants are free to set their own prices on our online platform, prices of products offered on our platform are attractive for our key user demographic. We organize a number of special sales events year-round, such as the anniversary of the founding of our company and China’s online shopping festival on November 11, and on important holidays such as Christmas and Chinese New Year, when our merchants typically offer discounts on their products. We also hold daily promotions for selected products for a limited period of time. Special promotions attract bargain hunters and give our users an additional incentive to visit our platform regularly. We have set aside special areas of our online platform for limited time offers at deep discounts. We also offer discounted products to our users under a group purchase model, offering them a varied and fun shopping experience.

Customer Service

Providing a superior customer experience and maintaining customer satisfaction are at the heart of what we do. We have developed key policies and procedures for our customer service that maintain the health and sustainability of our platform, including consumer protection programs, platform rules, qualification standards for merchants and buyer and seller rating systems.

Our around-the-clock customer service center provides real-time assistance to our massive customer base. Customers can access our sales and after-sales online representatives constantly. We have a dedicated team of customer service representatives in Hangzhou. We train our customer service representatives to answer customer inquiries and proactively educate potential customers about products and promptly resolve customer complaints. Each representative is required to complete mandatory training, conducted by experienced managers on product knowledge, complaint handling and communication skills. Our commitment to excellent customer services has ensured the high quality of user experience and the strong growth in our customer base.

Payment

We cooperate with leading third-party online payment service providers in China, including Weixin Pay, QQ Wallet and Alipay, and enable our buyers to make payments for their purchases easily and efficiently. We are not dependent on any particular provider for online payment services.

Delivery, Returns and Exchanges

Merchants on our platform are required to ship their products using designated reputable delivery service providers. We cooperate with a number of third-party delivery companies that merchants can choose to use to fulfill orders and deliver their products to customers. To ensure timely delivery of products, merchants are bound by the terms of their service agreements with us to ship their products within the stipulated timeframe that they had promised to their customers at the time of purchase, failure of which will subject such merchants to mandatory penalty paid to their customers.

We generally offer a seven-day free return and exchange policy for products purchased from our platform. In the event that a merchant does not handle a return request and make the refund payment, we will be involved to resolve the refund request.

114

For successful product return or exchange with respect to qualified merchants, we compensate a portion of the shipping expense incurred by the user. In addition, we cooperate with third-party insurance companies who provide us with shipping return and exchange insurance, which cover users’ return or exchange shipping expenses.

Monetization

We monetize across the fashion value chain through a variety of means including marketing services, commissions and financial services to users and merchants.

Marketing Services

Leveraging our professionally produced content, which has proven to be popular as demonstrated by our over 38 million followers across our presence on major social network platforms in China, and our engaged user base, we offer a diverse range of online marketing services primarily to help our merchants and brand partners increase their sales volume. We also place the marketing content of the participating merchants on social platforms in the forms of pictures or text links. We primarily charge marketing services customers on a cost-per-click basis.

We relentlessly pursue the latest trends in internet marketing service formats to increase marketing efficiency for our marketing services customers. We recently began to provide marketing services including brand and enterprise image management, advertisement design, production, and publication, market survey, and exhibition services to our merchants and brand partners.

Commission

We earn commissions from merchants on our platform when transactions are completed and settled. Such commissions are generally determined as an agreed percentage of the value of merchandise sold by merchants based on the sources and formats of our GMV. We typically charge a commission rate of approximately 5% to merchants that choose our entry-level service offerings. For merchants who need fuller operational support, we offer incremental services through our prime service offerings. We generally charge a commission rate of approximately 20% to merchants that opt for our prime service offerings. We offer refunds to our merchants based on percentages of estimated commissions of a specific period as an incentive to establish long-term relationships with them.

Financial Services

We offer financing solutions to our users to serve their consumption and credit needs when purchasing merchandise on our platform. We also cooperate with third-party financial institutions and display their consumer financing products on our platform for our users. In addition, we provide a variety of short-term financing solutions to our qualified merchants, which enable them to obtain cost-effective financing to expand their operations and improve their liquidity.

Branding and Marketing

We believe that our rich content and satisfactory user experience have contributed to the expansion of our user base and the increase in user engagement, leading to a strong word-of-mouth effect that strengthens our brand awareness.

In addition, we promote our platform and enhance our brand awareness through a variety of online and offline marketing and brand promotion activities. We engage passionate and fashionable brand ambassadors and arrange for them to attend marketing and brand promotion campaigns and host video broadcast sessions to

115

endorse our brand on various social media channels. We cooperate with third-party app stores, popular search engines and social media platforms for online and mobile marketing. We also conduct offline marketing primarily in the form of outdoor bulletin boards, magazines, campus promotions and television commercials.

Technology and Infrastructure

The success of our business is supported by our strong technological capabilities that enable us to deliver superior user experience and increase our operational efficiency. Our technology team, coupled with our proprietary technology infrastructure and the large volume of data generated and collected on our platform each day, have created opportunities for continuous improvements in our technology capabilities, empowering reliability, scalability and flexibility. As of June 30, 2018, we had a technology team with approximately 500 engineers, among whom over 300 focus on technology development to support every aspect of our business operation, over 40 focus on algorithm design and development, and 100 focus on underlying data and technology maintenance.

Artificial Intelligence

With access to a massive amount of data, we believe we are in a unique position to capitalize on the use of artificial intelligence technology to improve our risk management, operating efficiencies and user satisfaction. To date, we have applied various artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies on our platform in multiple areas. We utilize artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies to develop automated customer service chatbots, which have significantly improved customer experience and reduced our operating expenses. Our deep learning capabilities accelerate our innovations in areas such as image recognition as well as product and content recommendation. Leveraging our data insights and technology capabilities, our credit assessment engine can predict the creditworthiness of each customer and merchant through sophisticated algorithms and a dynamic model. The customer and merchant behavior and risk profile data power our machine learning algorithms that improve our risk management capabilities. As a result of our automation and data capabilities, we are able to perform comprehensive credit analysis on our merchants and customers.

Big Data

We build our big data analytics capability upon computing infrastructure that can efficiently handle complex computing tasks of billions of data instances and millions of analytical dimensions. Based on users’ purchase behaviors and usage patterns, we leverage big data analytics and artificial intelligence technology to enhance the accuracy of user behavior predictions and user profiling and optimize our operation, targeted marketing and user experience. For example, we not only look into the basic order information but also user behavioral data such as how long such user spent on browsing and reviewing a particular product and products of similar categories or styles. We then strive to build predictive and statistical models based on the big data we have accumulated.

The seamless collaboration among our technology and operational teams, together with our big data analytics capability, result in improved operational efficiency. Our algorithm engineers are fully involved in all critical operational areas. They have thorough understanding of the computational needs from different business segments, and are therefore capable of providing technological support to address diversified needs in operating our business.

Security and Data Privacy

We are committed to protecting information security of all participants on our platform. We collect personal information and data only with users’ prior consent.

We back up our user and other forms of data on a daily basis in separate and various secured data back-up systems to minimize the risk of data loss. We also conduct frequent reviews of our back-up systems to ensure

116

that they function properly and are well maintained. Our back-end security system is capable of handling malicious attacks each day to safeguard the security of our platform and to protect the privacy of our users and merchants.

We have a data security team of engineers and technicians dedicated to protecting the security of our data. We have also adopted strict data protection policy to ensure the security of our proprietary data. We encrypt confidential personal information we gather from our platform. To ensure data security and avoid data leakage, we have established stringent internal protocols under which we grant classified access to confidential personal data only to limited employees with strictly defined and layered access authority. We strictly control and manage the use of data within our various departments.

Cloud Services

We have developed a secure, efficient and cost-effective cloud-based core system to operate our business. Cloud-based technology allows us to process large amount of complex data in-house, which significantly reduces cost and improves operation efficiency. Our cloud-based core system connects external cloud service system with our merchants to provide them with product development and supply chain management solutions. We also have multiple layers of redundancy to ensure the reliability of our network. We also have a working data redundancy model with comprehensive backups of our databases conducted every day.

Risk Management

Content Screening and Monitoring

We are committed to complying with the relevant laws and regulations on online content. We have invested significant resources in developing advanced content monitoring technologies, policies and procedures.

We maintain content management and review procedures to monitor live video broadcast content on our platform to ensure that we are able to promptly identify content that may be deemed to be inappropriate, in violation of laws, regulations and government policies or infringing upon third-party rights. When any inappropriate or illegal content is identified, we promptly terminate the live video broadcasts and remove the concerned comments. Further actions may also be taken to hold relevant content creators accountable.

Our automated AI-backed screening mechanism serves as the first layer of defense in our content review system. This system automatically flags and screens out live video broadcasts that involve inappropriate or illegal audio, video, comments or chats by comparing the image, sound or text against our databases in real time. Once the content is processed by our AI-backed automated screening mechanism, our system then extracts identifiers from the content and sends them to our manual content screening team, our second layer of defense, for further review. We have a dedicated team reviewing and handling content on our platform for compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Our manual content screening team constantly monitors content uploaded to our platform to ensure that the flagged content is reviewed and any inappropriate or illegal live video broadcasts is immediately suspended or terminated. In addition, our manual content screening team proactively monitors and reviews the live video broadcasts independently on a real-time basis.

Finally, we have adopted an easy-to-use and responsive abuse reporting mechanism on our platform, which allows any of our users to report inappropriate content through “report” links. Any content being reported will be reviewed by our content screening team and appropriate actions will be taken.

Our live video broadcast hosts are required to register with our platform on a real-name basis. In addition, we require hosts to consent to the terms and conditions set forth in the host agreement of our platform before they can start live video broadcasts. Pursuant to such agreement, each host undertakes not to live video broadcast or otherwise distribute content that violates any PRC laws or regulations or infringes upon the intellectual property rights of any third party, and agrees to indemnify us for all damages arising from third-party claims against us caused by the infringing content produced by such host.

117

Credit Risks

We take advantage of our big data and machine learning capabilities to effectively manage risks associated with our business. We believe that we are well positioned to assess credit risks, predict spending and borrowing behaviors, and serve the credit needs of our merchants and customers.

Data Aggregation. We collect and continuously update merchant and customer credit data from internal and external sources. Factors we consider important for assessing the probability of delinquency include, among others, repayment history, fraudulent records, identity information, contact information, amount and source of income, occupation, credit information from the People’s Bank of China and other third parties, online consumption activities, and behaviors on our platform, third-party platforms and social networks. We are able to analyze data and capture useful parameters to feed into our risk assessment models, and quickly iterate and adjust these models based on newly acquired data, further improving our risk management capabilities.

Anti-fraud. Our anti-fraud model uses a multifaceted detection process to identify both individual and collusive frauds. We use existing fraud databases, particularly credit blacklists maintained by us or our business partners. We conduct social network analysis to analyze users’ personal relationships and identify abnormal behavioral patterns that are pertinent to fraud detection. We continuously update our fraud database with new information on similar borrowers to improve the effectiveness of our fraud detection.

Collection. We monitor the delinquency rate of our financing solutions in real time, and allocate resources in advance according to the quantity and performance of outstanding loans. We have a dedicated collection team which monitors the repayment status of our borrowers, and they follow up with the delinquent borrowers in the event of late repayment or default via sending reminder messages or making phone calls in accordance with our comprehensive collection guidelines.

Intellectual Property

We regard our trademarks, software copyrights, service marks, domain names, trade secrets, proprietary technologies and similar intellectual property as critical to our success, and we rely on trademark, copyright and trade secret protection laws in the PRC, as well as confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions with our employees, service providers, fashion influencers, third-party merchants and others to protect our proprietary rights. As of the date of this prospectus, we own one registered patent, 571 registered trademarks, copyrights to 98 software programs developed by us relating to various aspects of our operations, and 141 registered domain names, including mogujie.com and meilishuo.com. Our registered patent relates to a CAPTCHA method, a type of challenge-response test used in computing to determine whether or not the user is human. This patent has a duration of 20 years and will be valid through to May 16, 2033.

Competition

The fashion retail industry in China is highly competitive and rapidly evolving. Our primary competitors include (i) major e-commerce platforms in China, (ii) major traditional and brick-and-mortar retailers in China, and (iii) social media platforms and content providers in China that cover the fashion and apparel industries.

We compete primarily on the basis of the following factors: (i) the relevance of our fashion-related content for our targeted user base; (ii) our ability to seamlessly connect content with merchandise; (iii) the superior shopping experience on our platform; (iv) our large and active user base; (v) pricing of products sold on our platform; (vi) our ability to attract and retain merchants; (vii) product quality and selection; (viii) brand recognition and reputation; and (ix) the experience and expertise of our management team.

We believe that we are well-positioned to effectively compete on the basis of the factors listed above. However, our competitors may have longer operating histories, greater brand recognition, better relationships with merchants and brand partners, stronger infrastructure, larger user base or greater financial, technical or marketing resources than we do, and they may also offer similar products and services on their platforms.

118

Employees

We had 1,311, 1,005 and 971 employees as of March 31, 2017 and 2018 and June 30, 2018, respectively. The following table sets forth the number of our employees categorized by areas of operations as of June 30, 2018:

Operations	Number of employees
Content		127
Merchandising		127
Technology		488
Sales and marketing		50
Customer services		89
Administration and management		90
Total		971

Our success depends on our ability to attract, motivate, train and retain qualified personnel. We believe we offer our employees competitive compensation packages and an environment that encourages self-development and, as a result, have generally been able to attract and retain qualified personnel and maintain a stable core management team.

As required by regulations in China, we participate in various employee social security plans that are organized by municipal and provincial governments, including pension, unemployment insurance, childbirth insurance, work-related injury insurance, medical insurance and housing insurance. We are required under PRC law to make contributions to employee benefit plans at specified percentages of the salaries, bonuses and certain allowances of our employees, up to a maximum amount specified by the local government from time to time. To date, we have not experienced any significant labor disputes.

Facilities

We are headquartered in Hangzhou, China, and have leased an aggregate of approximately 15.3 thousand square meters of office space in Hangzhou. As of June 30, 2018, we also have an aggregate of approximately 0.3 thousand square meters of office space in Beijing. We lease our premises under operating lease agreements from independent third parties. A summary of our leased properties as of June 30, 2018 is shown below:

Location	Space (in thousands of square meters)	Use	Lease Term (years)
Hangzhou, China	15.3	Office		2
Beijing, China	0.3	Office		2

Insurance

We maintain various insurance policies to safeguard against risks and unexpected events. We have contracted with leading Chinese insurance companies to obtain their insurance coverage for losses incurred by us in subsidizing product return shipment costs of users. In addition, we provide group accident insurance and supplementary medical insurance for certain of our employees.

Legal Proceedings

We are currently not a party to, and we are not aware of any pending or threatened legal, arbitral or administrative proceedings or claims, which, in the opinion of our management, is likely to have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. We may from time to time become a party to various legal, arbitral or administrative proceedings or claims arising in the ordinary course of our business.

119

REGULATION

This section sets forth a summary of the most significant laws, regulations and rules that affect our business activities in the PRC or the rights of our shareholders to receive dividends and other distributions from us.

Regulations on Value-added Telecommunication Services

Regulations on Foreign Investment

The Guidance Catalog of Industries for Foreign Investment, or the Foreign Investment Catalog, was promulgated by the National Development and Reform Commission and the MOFCOM on June 28, 1995, and most recently amended on June 28, 2017. The Foreign Investment Catalog lays out the basic framework for foreign investment in China, classifying businesses into three categories with regard to foreign investment: “encourage,” “restricted” and “prohibited.” Industries not listed in the catalog are generally deemed as falling into a fourth category “permitted” unless specifically restricted by other PRC laws. Our business falls under value-added telecommunications services, which are under the “restricted” category in the Foreign Investment Catalog. In addition, in June 2017 the MOFCOM and the National Development and Reform Commission promulgated the Special Management Measures (Negative List) for the Access of Foreign Investment, or the Negative List, which became effective on July 28, 2018, where foreign investment in value-added telecommunications services (except for e-commerce) falls within the Negative List. As a result, foreign investors can only conduct investment activities through equity or contractual joint ventures with certain shareholding requirements and approvals from competent authorities. PRC partners are required to hold the majority interests in the joint ventures and approval from MOFCOM, MIIT for the incorporation of the joint ventures and the business operations.

On October 8, 2016, the MOFCOM promulgated the Interim Administrative Measures for Record-filing of the Incorporation and Change of Foreign-invested Enterprises, or FIE Interim Administrative Measures, as amended on June 30, 2018. Under the FIE Interim Administrative Measures, the incorporation and change of FIEs are subject to record filing procedures, instead of prior approval requirements, provided that the incorporation or change does not trigger any special entry administrative measures required by the government. If the incorporation or change of FIE matters is subject to the special entry administration measures, the approval of the MOFCOM or its local counterparts is still required.

Regulations on Foreign Investment in the Value-added Telecommunications Industry

Foreign direct investment in telecommunications companies in China is governed by the Provisions on the Administration of Foreign-Invested Telecommunications Enterprises, which was promulgated by the State Council on December 11, 2001 and amended on September 10, 2008 and February 6, 2016. These regulations require that foreign-invested value-added telecommunications enterprises in China must be established as Sino-foreign equity joint ventures and that foreign investors may not hold a majority equity interest in such joint ventures. In addition, foreign investors must demonstrate significant experience in value-added telecommunications business as well as a good business track record. Moreover, foreign investors that meet these requirements must obtain approvals from the MIIT and the MOFCOM, to provide value-added telecommunication services in China and the MIIT and the MOFCOM retain considerable discretion in granting such approvals.

On July 13, 2006, the Ministry of Information Industry (the predecessor of the MIIT) issued the Circular on Strengthening the Administration of Foreign Investment in and Operation of Value-added Telecommunications Business, pursuant to which a PRC company that holds an Internet Content Provider License, or the ICP License, is prohibited from leasing, transferring or selling the ICP License to foreign investors in any form, and from providing any assistance, including resources, sites or facilities, to foreign investors that conduct value-added telecommunications business illegally in China. Moreover, the domain names and registered trademarks used by

120

an operating company providing value-added telecommunications service shall be legally owned by such company and/or its shareholders. In addition, such company’s operation premises and equipment must comply with its approved ICP License, and such company should improve its internal internet and information security standards and emergency management procedures.

On June 19, 2015, MIIT issued the Circular on Loosening the Restrictions on Shareholding by Foreign Investors in Online Data Processing and Transaction Processing Business (for-profit E-commerce), or the Circular 196. The Circular 196 allows a foreign investor to hold 100% of the equity interest in a PRC entity that provides online data processing and transaction processing services (for-profit E-commerce). With respect to the applications for a license for on-line data processing and transaction processing business (for-profit E-commerce), the requirements for the proportion of foreign equity are governed by this Circular, other requirements and corresponding approval procedures are subject to the FITE Regulations. However, due to the lack of additional interpretation from PRC regulatory authorities, it remains unclear as to what impact MIIT Circular 2015 may have on us or other PRC internet companies with similar corporate and contractual structures.

In view of these restrictions on foreign direct investment in value-added telecommunications services and certain other types of businesses under which our business may fall, including internet culture services, internet audio-visual program services and radio/television programs production and operation business, we have established various domestic consolidated affiliated entities to engage in value-added telecommunications services. For more information, please see “Corporate History and Structure—Contractual Arrangements with Our Consolidated Affiliated Entities and Their Respective Shareholders.” Due to the lack of interpretative guidance from the relevant PRC governmental authorities, there are uncertainties regarding whether PRC governmental authorities would consider our corporate structure and contractual arrangements to constitute foreign ownership of a value-added telecommunications business. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Corporate Structure—If the PRC government finds that the agreements that establish the structure for operating certain of our operations in China do not comply with PRC regulations relating to the relevant industries, or if these regulations or the interpretation of existing regulations change in the future, we could be subject to severe penalties or be forced to relinquish our interests in those operations.” If our current ownership structure is found to be in violation of current or future PRC laws, rules or regulations regarding the legality of foreign investment in value-added telecommunications services and other types of businesses on which foreign investment is restricted or prohibited, we could be subject to severe penalties.

Regulations on Telecommunications Services and Content

Regulations on Telecommunications Services

On September 25, 2000, the State Council promulgated the Telecommunications Regulations of PRC, or the Telecom Regulations, which was amended on July 29, 2014 and February 6, 2016. Pursuant to the Telecom Regulations, operators of value-added telecommunications services are required to obtain operating licenses from the MIIT or its provincial branches.

According to the Catalog of Telecommunications Services (2015 Amendment) promulgated on December 28, 2015 and effective as of March 1, 2016, or the Catalog, Internet information services, or ICP service and online data processing and transaction processing services (for-profit e-commerce), or EDI Service are classified as value-added telecommunications services, and the provider of ICP Service and EDI Service shall obtain ICP License and EDI Licenses from the MIIT, or its provincial branches, prior to the provision of ICP Services or EDI Services.

Moreover, the Administrative Measures on Internet Information Services, or the ICP Measures, promulgated by the State Council on September 25, 2000 and amended on January 8, 2011, a commercial ICP service providers who also provide internet information services related to news, publishing, education, medical treatment, health, pharmaceuticals or medical apparatus, certain approvals from the relevant PRC competent

121

authorities shall be obtained before applying for ICP License or carrying out record-filing procedures. In addition, the ICP Measures and other relevant measures also prohibit publication of any content that propagates, among others, obscenity, pornography, gambling and violence, incite the commission of crimes or infringe upon the lawful rights and interests of third parties. In July 2017, the MIIT promulgated a new version of the Administrative Measures on Telecommunications Business Operating Licenses, which take effect on September 1, 2017 and supersede the Administrative Measures on Telecommunications Business Operating Licenses (2009 version). The new Administrative Measures on Telecommunications Business Operating Licenses simplifies the procedures to apply for telecommunications business operating license and strengthens the supervision of daily operation of telecommunications business.

We engage in internet information services as defined in the Catalog and the ICP Measures. To comply with the relevant laws and regulations, each of Hangzhou Juangua and Beijing Meilishikong, as our information services operator, holds an ICP License for the operation of our ICP Services, and each of Hangzhou Juangua and Hangzhou Shiqu, as our EDI Service operators, holds an EDI License for the operation of our EDI Services. For further information, see “Risk Factors—If we fail to obtain and maintain the licenses, permits and approvals required or applicable to our business under the complex regulatory environment for our businesses in China, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.”

Regulations on Internet Audio-Visual Program Services

The Ministry of Culture, or the MOC, promulgated the Interim Administrative Provisions on Internet Culture, or the Internet Culture Provisions on February 17, 2011 and further amended on December 15, 2017. Pursuant to the Internet Culture Provisions, providers of internet audio-visual programs and internet game operations must file an application for establishment to the competent culture administration authorities for approval and must obtain the online culture operating permit.

Audio-Visual License

On December 20, 2007, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, or the SARFT (the predecessor of SAPPRFT) and the MII jointly promulgated the Administrative Provisions on Internet Audio-Visual Program Services, or the Audio-Visual Program Provisions, which became effective as of January 31, 2008 and was subsequently amended on August 28, 2015. Providers of internet audio-visual program services are required to obtain the license for online transmission of audio-visual programs, or the Audio-Visual License issued by SARFT, or complete record-filing procedures with SARFT. In general, providers of internet audio-visual program services must be either state-owned or state-controlled entities, and their businesses must satisfy the overall planning and guidance catalog for internet audio-visual program service determined by SARFT.

On May 21, 2008, SARFT issued a Notice on Relevant Issues Concerning Application and Approval of License for the Online Transmission of Audio-Visual Programs, which was amended on August 28, 2015, and further sets out detailed provisions concerning the application and approval process regarding the Audio-Visual License. The notice also stipulates that internet audio-visual program services providers which had engaged in such services prior to the promulgation of the Audio-Visual Program Provisions are able to apply for the license so long as (i) the violation of the laws and regulations is minor in scope and can be rectified in a timely manner, and (ii) the providers had no violations of laws during the last three months prior to the promulgation of the Audio-Visual Program Provisions.

On March 30, 2009, SARFT promulgated the Notice on Strengthening the Administration of the Content of Internet Audio-Visual Programs, which reiterates the pre-approval requirements for the audio-visual programs transmitted via the internet, including through mobile networks, where applicable, and prohibits internet audio-visual programs containing violence, pornography, gambling, terrorism, superstition or other similarly prohibited elements.

In the event that a PRC shareholder holding interests in a special purpose vehicle fails to fulfill the required SAFE registration, the PRC subsidiaries of that special purpose vehicle may be prohibited from making distributions of profit to the offshore parent and from carrying out subsequent cross-border foreign exchange activities and the special purpose vehicle may be restricted in their ability to contribute additional capital into its PRC subsidiary. And, failure to comply with the various SAFE registration requirements described above could result in liability under PRC law for foreign exchange evasion, including (i) of up to 30% of the total amount of foreign exchange remitted overseas and deemed to have been evasive, and (ii) in circumstances involving serious violations, a fine of no less than 30% of and up to the total amount of remitted foreign exchange deemed evasive. Furthermore, the persons-in-charge and other persons at our PRC subsidiaries who are held directly liable for the violations may be subject to criminal sanctions. These regulations apply to our direct and indirect shareholders who are PRC residents and may apply to any offshore acquisitions and share transfer that we make in the future if our shares are issued to PRC residents. Our PRC resident shareholders, Mr. Qi Chen, Mr. Yibo Wei and Mr. Xuqiang Yue, have completed their SAFE registration and updated their change of shareholding with the

130

local SAFE branch in relation to their investment in our company.

Failure to complete the SAFE registrations may subject them to fines and legal sanctions and may also limit our ability to contribute additional capital into our wholly foreign owned subsidiaries in China and limit these subsidiaries’ ability to distribute dividends to us. The PRC agents shall, on behalf of the PRC residents who have the right to exercise the employee share options, apply to SAFE or its local branches for an annual quota for the payment of foreign currencies in connection with the PRC residents’ exercise of the employee share options. The foreign exchange proceeds received by the PRC residents from the sale of shares under the stock incentive plans granted and dividends distributed by the overseas listed companies must be remitted into the bank accounts in the PRC opened by the PRC agents before distribution to such PRC residents. In addition, the PRC agents shall file each quarter the form for record-filing of information of the Domestic Individuals Participating in the Stock Incentive Plans of Overseas Listed Companies with SAFE or its local branches. We and our PRC citizen employees who have been granted share options, or PRC optionees, are subject to the Stock Option Rules. If we or our PRC optionees fail to comply with the Individual Foreign Exchange Rule and the Stock Option Rules, we and our PRC optionees may be subject to fines and other legal sanctions.

The Provisional Regulations of the PRC on Value-added Tax was promulgated by the State Council on December 13, 1993 and was amended on November 10, 2008 and February 6, 2016. The Detailed Rules for the Implementation of the Provisional Regulations of the PRC on Value-added Tax (Revised in 2011) was promulgated by the MOF on December 25, 1993 and subsequently amended on December 15, 2008 and October 28, 2011, or collectively, VAT Law. On November 19, 2017, the State Council promulgated the Decisions on Abolishing the Provisional Regulations of the PRC on Business Tax and Amending the Provisional Regulations of the PRC on Value-added Tax, or the Order 691. According to the VAT Law and the Order 691, all enterprises and individuals engaged in the sale of goods, services, intangible assets, real property, the provision of processing, repair and replacement services, and the importation of goods within the territory of the PRC are the taxpayers of VAT. The VAT tax rates generally applicable are simplified as 16%, 10%, 6% and 0%, and the VAT tax rate applicable to the small-scale taxpayers is 3%.

Regulations on Dividend Withholding Tax

The EIT Law provides that since January 1, 2008, an income tax rate of 10% will normally be applicable to dividends declared to non-PRC resident investors which do not have an establishment or place of business in the PRC, or which have such establishment or place of business but the relevant income is not effectively connected with the establishment or place of business, to the extent such dividends are derived from sources within the PRC.

Pursuant to an Arrangement Between the Mainland of China and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region for the Avoidance of Double Taxation and the Prevention of Fiscal Evasion with Respect to Taxes on Incomes, or the Double Tax Avoidance Arrangement, and other applicable PRC laws, if a Hong Kong resident enterprise is determined by the competent PRC tax authority to have satisfied the relevant conditions and requirements under such Double Tax Avoidance Arrangement and other applicable laws, the 10% withholding tax on the dividends the Hong Kong resident enterprise receives from a PRC resident enterprise may be reduced to 5%. However, based on the Circular on Certain Issues with Respect to the Enforcement of Dividend Provisions in Tax Treaties, or the SAT Circular 81, issued on February 20, 2009 by the SAT, if the relevant PRC tax authorities determine, in their discretions, that a company benefits from such reduced income tax rate due to a structure or arrangement that is primarily tax-driven, such PRC tax authorities may adjust the preferential tax treatment. According to the Circular on Several Questions regarding the “Beneficial Owner” in Tax Treaties, which was issued on February 3, 2018 by the SAT and took effect on April 1, 2018, when determining the applicant’s status of the “beneficial owner” regarding tax treatments in connection with dividends, interests or royalties in the tax treaties, several factors apply, including without limitation: (i) whether the applicant is obligated to pay more than 50% of his or her income in twelve months to any resident of any third country or region, (ii) whether the business operated by the applicant constitutes the actual business activities, and (iii) whether the counterparty country or region to the tax treaties levies any tax or grants tax exemption on relevant incomes or levies tax at an extremely low rate, will be taken into account, and it will be analyzed according to the actual circumstances of the specific cases. This circular further provides that applicants who intend to prove his or her status of the “beneficial owner” shall submit the relevant documents to the relevant tax bureau according to the Announcement on Issuing the Measures for the Administration of Non-Resident Taxpayers’ Enjoyment of the Treatment under Tax Agreements.

132

Regulations on Tax regarding Indirect Transfer

On February 3, 2015, the SAT issued the Circular on Issues of Enterprise Income Tax on Indirect Transfers of Assets by Non-PRC Resident Enterprises, or Circular 7. Pursuant to Circular 7, an “indirect transfer” of assets, including equity interests in a PRC resident enterprise, by non-PRC resident enterprises, may be re-characterized and treated as a direct transfer of PRC taxable assets, if such arrangement does not have a reasonable commercial purpose and is established for the purpose of avoiding payment of PRC enterprise income tax. As a result, gains derived from such indirect transfer may be subject to PRC enterprise income tax. When determining whether there is a “reasonable commercial purpose” of the transaction arrangement, considerations include, inter alia, (i) whether the main value of the equity interest of the relevant offshore enterprise derives directly or indirectly from PRC taxable assets; (ii) whether the assets of the relevant offshore enterprise mainly consists of direct or indirect investment in China or if its income is mainly derived from China; and (iii) whether the offshore enterprise and its subsidiaries directly or indirectly holding PRC taxable assets have real commercial nature evidenced by their actual function and risk exposure. According to the Circular 7, where the payer fails to withhold any or sufficient tax, the transferor shall declare and pay such tax to the tax authority by itself within the statutory time limit. Late payment of applicable tax will subject the transferor to default interest. The Circular 7 does not apply to transactions of sale of shares by investors through a public stock exchange where such shares were acquired on a public stock exchange. On October 17, 2017, the SAT issued the Circular on Issues of Tax Withholding regarding Non-PRC Resident Enterprise Income Tax, or SAT Circular 37, which further elaborates the relevant implemental rules regarding the calculation, reporting and payment obligations of the withholding tax by the non-resident enterprises. Nonetheless, there remain uncertainties as to the interpretation and application of the SAT Circular 7. The SAT Circular 7 may be determined by the tax authorities to be applicable to our offshore transactions or sale of our shares or those of our offshore subsidiaries where non-resident enterprises, being the transferors, were involved.

Regulations on Employment and Social Welfare

Employment

According to the Labor Law of the PRC which was promulgated by the SCNPC on July 5, 1994, effective since January 1, 1995 and amended on August 27, 2009 and Labor Contract Law of the PRC which was promulgated by the SCNPC on June 29, 2007 and amended on December 28, 2012, employers must execute written labor contracts with full-time employees. All employers must pay their employees with wages equal to at least the local minimum wage standards. In addition, an employer is obligated to sign an indefinite term labor contract with an employee if the employer continues to employ the employee after two consecutive fixed term labor contracts. Violations of the PRC Labor Contract Law and the PRC Labor Law may result in the imposition of fines and other administrative penalties. For serious violations, criminal liability may arise.

Social Insurance and Housing Fund

According to the Social Insurance Law of the PRC promulgated by the National People’s Congress of the PRC on October 28, 2010 and became effective on July 1, 2011, together with other relevant laws and regulations, the PRC establishes a social insurance system including basic pension insurance, basic medical insurance, occupational injury insurance, unemployment insurance and maternity insurance. An employer declares and makes social insurance contributions in full and on time, failures to make social insurance contributions may be ordered to pay the required contributions within a stipulated deadline. If the employer still fails to rectify the noncompliance within the stipulated deadline, it may be subject to a fine ranging from one to three times the amount overdue.

According to the Regulations on Administration of Housing Fund promulgated by the State Council on April 3, 1999 and amended on March 24, 2002, employers are required to register at the designated administrative centers, open bank accounts for depositing employees’ housing fund and make housing fund

133

contributions for employees in the PRC. An enterprise that fails to make housing fund contributions may be ordered to rectify the noncompliance and pay the required contributions within a stipulated deadline; otherwise, a petition may be made to a local court for enforcement.

Regulations on M&A Regulations and Overseas Listings

In 2006, six PRC regulatory agencies, including the CSRC, jointly adopted the M&A Rules, amended in 2009. The M&A Rules purport, among other things, to require an offshore special purpose vehicle controlled by PRC companies or individuals and formed for overseas listing purposes through acquisitions of PRC domestic interest held by such PRC companies or individuals, to obtain the approval from the CSRC prior to publicly listing their securities on an overseas stock exchange. In 2006, the CSRC published a notice on its official website specifying documents and materials required to be submitted to it by the offshore special purpose vehicle seeking CSRC approval of its overseas listing. While the application of the M&A Rules remains unclear, our PRC counsel has advised us that based on its understanding of current PRC laws, rules and regulations and the M&A Rules, prior approval from the CSRC is not required under the M&A Rules for the listing and trading of our ADSs given that (i) our PRC subsidiaries were directly established by us as wholly foreign-owned enterprises and we have not acquired any equity interest or assets of a PRC domestic company owned by PRC companies or individuals as defined under the M&A Rules that are our beneficial owners after the effective date of the M&A Rules, and (ii) no provision in the M&A Rules clearly classifies the contractual arrangements as a type of transaction subject to the M&A Rules.

However, our PRC counsel has further advised us that uncertainties still exist as to how the M&A Rules will be interpreted and implemented and its opinions summarized above are subject to any new laws, rules and regulations or detailed implementations and interpretations in any form relating to the M&A Rules. If the CSRC or other PRC regulatory agencies subsequently determine that prior CSRC approval was required, we may face regulatory actions or other sanctions from the CSRC or other PRC regulatory agencies. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our ADSs and This Offering—The approval of the China Securities Regulatory Commission may be required in connection with this offering under PRC law.”

The M&A Rules also establish procedures and requirements that could make some acquisitions of PRC companies by foreign investors more time-consuming and complex, including requiring that MOFCOM be notified in advance of any transaction in which a foreign investor takes control of a PRC domestic enterprise. In addition, the Rules on Implementation of Security Review System for the Merger and Acquisition of Domestic Enterprises by Foreign Investors issued by MOFCOM in 2011 specify that mergers and acquisitions by foreign investors that raise “national defense and security” concerns and mergers and acquisitions through which foreign investors may acquire de facto control over domestic enterprises that raise “national security” concerns are subject to strict review by MOFCOM. Attempts to bypass such review are prohibited, including attempts to structure the transaction through proxies or contractual control arrangements.

Board of Directors

Duties of Directors

Under Cayman Islands law, our directors owe fiduciary duties to our company, including a duty of loyalty, a duty to act honestly, and a duty to act in what they consider in good faith to be in our best interests. Our directors must also exercise their powers only for a proper purpose. Our directors also owe to our company a duty to act with skill and care. It was previously considered that a director need not exhibit in the performance of his or her duties a greater degree of skill than may reasonably be expected from a person of his or her knowledge and experience. However, English and Commonwealth courts have moved towards an objective standard with regard to the required skill and care and these authorities are likely to be followed in the Cayman Islands. In fulfilling their duty of care to us, our directors must ensure compliance with our memorandum and articles of association, as amended and restated from time to time, and the class rights vested thereunder in the holders of the shares. In certain limited exceptional circumstances, a shareholder may have the right to seek damages in our name if a duty owed by our directors is breached.

Our board of directors has all the powers necessary for managing, and for directing and supervising, our business affairs. The functions and powers of our board of directors include, among others:

• convening shareholders’ annual and extraordinary general meetings and reporting its work to shareholders at such meetings;

• declaring dividends and distributions;

• appointing officers and determining the term of office of the officers;

• exercising the borrowing powers of our company and mortgaging the property of our company; and

• approving the transfer of shares in our company, including the registration of such shares in our share register.

Terms of Directors and Officers

Our directors may be elected by a resolution of our board of directors, or by an ordinary resolution of our shareholders. Our directors are not subject to a term of office and hold office until such time as they are removed from office by ordinary resolution of the shareholders. A director will cease to be a director if, among other things, the director (i) becomes bankrupt or makes any arrangement or composition with his creditors; (ii) dies or is found by our company to be or becomes of unsound mind, (iii) resigns his or her office by notice in writing to the company, or (iv) without special leave of absence from our board, is absent from three consecutive board meetings and our directors resolve that his or her office be vacated.

Our officers are elected by and serve at the discretion of our board of directors.

Employment Agreements and Indemnification Agreements

We [have entered] into employment agreements with each of our executive officers. Under these agreements, each of our executive officers is employed for a specified time period. We may terminate

139

employment for cause, at any time, without advance notice or remuneration, for certain acts of the executive officer, such as conviction or plea of guilty to a felony or any crime involving moral turpitude, negligent or dishonest acts to our detriment, or misconduct or a failure to perform agreed duties. We may also terminate an executive officer’s employment without cause upon three-month advance written notice. In such case of termination by us, we will provide severance payments to the executive officer as expressly required by applicable law of the jurisdiction where the executive officer is based. The executive officer may resign at any time with a three-month advance written notice.

Each executive officer has agreed to hold, both during and after the termination or expiry of his or her employment agreement, in strict confidence and not to use, except as required in the performance of his or her duties in connection with the employment or pursuant to applicable law, any of our confidential information or trade secrets, any confidential information or trade secrets of our clients or prospective clients, or the confidential or proprietary information of any third party received by us and for which we have confidential obligations. The executive officers have also agreed to disclose in confidence to us all inventions, designs and trade secrets which they conceive, develop or reduce to practice during the executive officer’s employment with us and to assign all right, title and interest in them to us, and assist us in obtaining and enforcing patents, copyrights and other legal rights for these inventions, designs and trade secrets.

In addition, each executive officer has agreed to be bound by non-competition and non-solicitation restrictions during the term of his or her employment and typically for one year following the last date of employment. Specifically, each executive officer has agreed not to (i) approach our suppliers, clients, customers or contacts or other persons or entities introduced to the executive officer in his or her capacity as a representative of us for the purpose of doing business with such persons or entities that will harm our business relationships with these persons or entities; (ii) assume employment with or provide services to any of our competitors, or engage, whether as principal, partner, licensor or otherwise, any of our competitors, without our express consent; or (iii) seek directly or indirectly, to solicit the services of any of our employees who is employed by us on or after the date of the executive officer’s termination, or in the year preceding such termination, without our express consent.

We have also entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers. Under these agreements, we agree to indemnify our directors and executive officers against certain liabilities and expenses incurred by such persons in connection with claims made by reason of their being a director or officer of our company.

Compensation of Directors and Executive Officers

For the year ended March 31, 2018, we paid an aggregate of RMB5.0 million (US$0.8 million) in cash to our executive officers, and we did not pay any cash compensation to our non-executive directors. We have not set aside or accrued any amount to provide pension, retirement or other similar benefits to our directors and executive officers. Our PRC subsidiaries and our VIEs are required by law to make contributions equal to certain percentages of each employee’s salary for his or her pension insurance, medical insurance, unemployment insurance and other statutory benefits and a housing provident fund.

Global Share Plan

In September 2011, our shareholders and board of directors adopted the Global Share Plan, which we refer to as the Plan in this prospectus, to attract and retain the best available personnel, provide additional incentives to employees, directors and consultants, and promote the success of our business. The Plan was amended and restated in September 2016 to permit the grant of restricted share units.

As of the date of this prospectus, options to purchase 93,817,819 ordinary shares and 76,000,667 restricted share units have been granted and are outstanding, excluding options and restricted share units that were forfeited or canceled after the relevant grant dates.

Business Cooperation Agreement and Transactions with Tencent

Business Cooperation Agreement. In July 2018, we entered into one Business Cooperation Agreement with Tencent, a provider of internet value-added services serving a large online community in China. Pursuant to the Business Cooperation Agreement, Tencent agreed to offer us entryways on the interface of Weixin Pay enabling us to access traffic directed from Weixin Pay.

Under the agreement, we and Tencent have agreed to further explore and pursue additional opportunities for potential cooperation for the purpose of optimizing user experience. The Business Cooperation Agreement has a term of five years and is renewable upon mutual agreement. The Business Cooperation Agreement is governed by PRC law. For any dispute arising out of or relating to the agreement, the parties should first strive to resolve the dispute through amicable consultation. In case no settlement can be reached through consultation within three month since the occurrence of the dispute, either we or Tencent can bring the dispute to a local court in Shenzhen, China for resolution.

In the years ended March 31, 2017 and 2018 and the three months ended June 30, 2018, we had amounts due to Tencent of RMB1.5 million, RMB17.8 million (US$2.7 million) and RMB11.6 million (US$1.7 million), respectively, which represent ordinary course trade payables to Tencent for technology services and payment processing fees payable to Tencent.

Our Post-Offering Memorandum and Articles of Association

Our shareholders [have conditionally adopted] the [fourteenth] amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, which will become effective and replace our current thirteenth amended and restated memorandum and articles of association in its entirety immediately prior to the completion of this offering. The following are summaries of material provisions of the post-offering memorandum and articles of association and of the Companies Law, insofar as they relate to the material terms of our ordinary shares.

Objects of Our Company. Under our post-offering memorandum and articles of association, the objects of our company are unrestricted and we have the full power and authority to carry out any object not prohibited by the Cayman Islands law.

148

Ordinary Shares. Our ordinary shares are divided into Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares. Holders of our Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares will have the same rights except for voting and conversion rights. Our ordinary shares are issued in registered form and are issued when registered in our register of members (shareholders). We may not issue shares to bearer. Our shareholders who are nonresidents of the Cayman Islands may freely hold and vote their shares.

Conversion. Class B ordinary shares may be converted into the same number of Class A ordinary shares by the holders thereof at any time, while Class A ordinary shares cannot be converted into Class B ordinary shares under any circumstances.

Dividends. The holders of our ordinary shares are entitled to such dividends as may be declared by our board of directors or declared by our shareholders by ordinary resolution (provided that no dividend may be declared by our shareholders which exceeds the amount recommended by our directors). Our post-offering memorandum and articles of association provide that dividends may be declared and paid out of our profits, realized or unrealized, or from any reserve set aside from profits which our board of directors determine is no longer needed. Under the laws of the Cayman Islands, our company may pay a dividend out of either profit or share premium account, provided that in no circumstances may a dividend be paid if this would result in our company being unable to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business.

Voting Rights. Holders of Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares shall, at all times, vote together as one class on all matters submitted to a vote by the members at any general meeting of the Company. Each Class A ordinary share shall be entitled to one vote on all matters subject to the vote at general meetings of our company, and each Class B ordinary share shall be entitled to                votes on all matters subject to the vote at general meetings of our company. Voting at any meeting of shareholders is by show of hands unless a poll is demanded. A poll may be demanded by the chairman of such meeting or any one shareholder present in person or by proxy.

An ordinary resolution to be passed at a meeting by the shareholders requires the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes attaching to the ordinary shares cast at a meeting, while a special resolution requires the affirmative vote of no less than two-thirds of the votes cast attaching to the outstanding ordinary shares at a meeting. A special resolution will be required for important matters such as a change of name or making changes to our post-offering memorandum and articles of association. Our shareholders may, among other things, divide or combine their shares by ordinary resolution.

General Meetings of Shareholders. As a Cayman Islands exempted company, we are not obliged by the Companies Law to call shareholders’ annual general meetings. Our post-offering memorandum and articles of association provide that we may (but are not obliged to) in each year hold a general meeting as our annual general meeting in which case we shall specify the meeting as such in the notices calling it, and the annual general meeting shall be held at such time and place as may be determined by our directors.

Shareholders’ general meetings may be convened by a majority of our board of directors. Advance notice of at least seven days is required for the convening of our annual general shareholders’ meeting (if any) and any other general meeting of our shareholders. A quorum required for any general meeting of shareholders consists of at least one shareholder present or by proxy, representing not less than one-third of all votes attaching to all of our shares in issue and entitled to vote.

The Companies Law provides shareholders with only limited rights to requisition a general meeting, and does not provide shareholders with any right to put any proposal before a general meeting. However, these rights may be provided in a company’s articles of association. Our post-offering memorandum and articles of association provide that upon the requisition of any one or more of our shareholders who together hold shares which carry in aggregate not less than one-third of the total number of votes attaching to all issued and outstanding shares of our company entitled to vote at general meetings, our board will convene an extraordinary

149

general meeting and put the resolutions so requisitioned to a vote at such meeting. However, our post-offering memorandum and articles of association do not provide our shareholders with any right to put any proposals before annual general meetings or extraordinary general meetings not called by such shareholders.

Transfer of Ordinary Shares. Subject to the restrictions set out in our post-offering memorandum and articles of association as set out below, any of our shareholders may transfer all or any of his or her ordinary shares by an instrument of transfer in the usual or common form or any other form approved by our board of directors.

Our board of directors may, in its absolute discretion, decline to register any transfer of any ordinary share which is not fully paid up or on which we have a lien. Our board of directors may also decline to register any transfer of any ordinary share unless:

• the instrument of transfer is lodged with us, accompanied by the certificate for the ordinary shares to which it relates and such other evidence as our board of directors may reasonably require to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer;

• the instrument of transfer is in respect of only one class of ordinary shares;

• the instrument of transfer is properly stamped, if required;

• in the case of a transfer to joint holders, the number of joint holders to whom the ordinary share is to be transferred does not exceed four; and

• a fee of such maximum sum as [the New York Stock Exchange/Nasdaq Global Market] may determine to be payable or such lesser sum as our directors may from time to time require is paid to us in respect thereof.

If our directors refuse to register a transfer they shall, within three months after the date on which the instrument of transfer was lodged, send to each of the transferor and the transferee notice of such refusal.

The registration of transfers may, after compliance with any notice required of [the New York Stock Exchange/Nasdaq Global Market], be suspended and the register closed at such times and for such periods as our board of directors may from time to time determine, provided, however, that the registration of transfers shall not be suspended nor the register closed for more than 30 days in any year as our board may determine.

Liquidation. On the winding up of our company, if the assets available for distribution amongst our shareholders shall be more than sufficient to repay the whole of the share capital at the commencement of the winding up, the surplus shall be distributed amongst our shareholders in proportion to the par value of the shares held by them at the commencement of the winding up, subject to a deduction from those shares in respect of which there are monies due, of all monies payable to our company for unpaid calls or otherwise. If our assets available for distribution are insufficient to repay all of the paid-up capital, the assets will be distributed so that the losses are borne by our shareholders in proportion to the par value of the shares held by them.

Calls on Shares and Forfeiture of Shares. Our board of directors may from time to time make calls upon shareholders for any amounts unpaid on their shares in a notice served to such shareholders at least 14 days prior to the specified time and place of payment. The shares that have been called upon and remain unpaid are subject to forfeiture.

Redemption, Repurchase and Surrender of Shares. We may issue shares on terms that such shares are subject to redemption, at our option or at the option of the holders of these shares, on such terms and in such manner as may be determined by our board of directors. Our company may also repurchase any of our shares on such terms and in such manner as have been approved by our board of directors or by an ordinary resolution of our shareholders. Under the Companies Law, the redemption or repurchase of any share may be paid out of our

150

Company’s profits or out of the proceeds of a new issue of shares made for the purpose of such redemption or repurchase, or out of capital (including share premium account and capital redemption reserve) if our company can, immediately following such payment, pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business. In addition, under the Companies Law no such share may be redeemed or repurchased (a) unless it is fully paid up, (b) if such redemption or repurchase would result in there being no shares outstanding or (c) if the company has commenced liquidation. In addition, our company may accept the surrender of any fully paid share for no consideration.

Variations of Rights of Shares. If at any time, our share capital is divided into different classes or series of shares, the rights attached to any class or series of shares (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class or series), whether or not our company is being wound-up, may be varied with the consent in writing of [all]/[a majority of] the holders of the issued shares of that class or series or with the sanction of a resolution passed by a majority of the votes cast at a separate meeting of the holders of the shares of the class or series. The rights conferred upon the holders of the shares of any class issued shall not, unless otherwise expressly provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class, be deemed to be varied by the creation or issue of further shares ranking pari passu with such existing class of shares.

Issuance of Additional Shares. Our post-offering memorandum and articles of association authorize our board of directors to issue additional ordinary shares from time to time as our board of directors shall determine, to the extent of available authorized but unissued shares.

Our post-offering memorandum and articles of association also authorize our board of directors to establish from time to time one or more series of preference shares and to determine, with respect to any series of preference shares, the terms and rights of that series, including:

• the designation of the series;

• the number of shares of the series;

• the dividend rights, dividend rates, conversion rights, voting rights; and

• the rights and terms of redemption and liquidation preferences.

Our board of directors may issue preference shares without action by our shareholders to the extent authorized but unissued. Issuance of these shares may dilute the voting power of holders of ordinary shares.

Inspection of Books and Records. Holders of our ordinary shares will have no general right under Cayman Islands law to inspect or obtain copies of our list of shareholders or our corporate records. However, we will provide our shareholders with annual audited financial statements. See “Where You Can Find Additional Information.”

Anti-Takeover Provisions. Some provisions of our post-offering memorandum and articles of association may discourage, delay or prevent a change of control of our company or management that shareholders may consider favorable, including provisions that:

• authorize our board of directors to issue preference shares in one or more series and to designate the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of such preference shares without any further vote or action by our shareholders; and

• limit the ability of shareholders to requisition and convene general meetings of shareholders.

However, under Cayman Islands law, our directors may only exercise the rights and powers granted to them under our post-offering memorandum and articles of association for a proper purpose and for what they believe in good faith to be in the best interests of our company.

151

Exempted Company. We are an exempted company with limited liability under the Companies Law. The Companies Law distinguishes between ordinary resident companies and exempted companies. Any company that is registered in the Cayman Islands but conducts business mainly outside of the Cayman Islands may apply to be registered as an exempted company. The requirements for an exempted company are essentially the same as for an ordinary company except that an exempted company:

• does not have to file an annual return of its shareholders with the Registrar of Companies;

• is not required to open its register of members for inspection;

• does not have to hold an annual general meeting;

• may issue negotiable or bearer shares or shares with no par value;

• may obtain an undertaking against the imposition of any future taxation (such undertakings are usually given for 20 years in the first instance);

• may register by way of continuation in another jurisdiction and be deregistered in the Cayman Islands;

• may register as a limited duration company; and

• may register as a segregated portfolio company.

“Limited liability” means that the liability of each shareholder is limited to the amount unpaid by the shareholder on the shares of the company (except in exceptional circumstances, such as involving fraud, the establishment of an agency relationship or an illegal or improper purpose or other circumstances in which a court may be prepared to pierce or lift the corporate veil).

Differences in Corporate Law

The Companies Law is derived, to a large extent, from the older Companies Acts of England but does not follow recent English statutory enactments and accordingly there are significant differences between the Companies Law and the current Companies Act of England. In addition, the Companies Law differs from laws applicable to U.S. corporations and their shareholders. Set forth below is a summary of certain significant differences between the provisions of the Companies Law applicable to us and the laws applicable to companies incorporated in the United States and their shareholders.

Mergers and Similar Arrangements. The Companies Law permits mergers and consolidations between Cayman Islands companies and between Cayman Islands companies and non-Cayman Islands companies. For these purposes, (i) “merger” means the merging of two or more constituent companies and the vesting of their undertaking, property and liabilities in one of such companies as the surviving company, and (ii) a “consolidation” means the combination of two or more constituent companies into a consolidated company and the vesting of the undertaking, property and liabilities of such companies to the consolidated company. In order to effect such a merger or consolidation, the directors of each constituent company must approve a written plan of merger or consolidation, which must then be authorized by (a) a special resolution of the shareholders of each constituent company, and (b) such other authorization, if any, as may be specified in such constituent company’s articles of association. The written plan of merger or consolidation must be filed with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands together with a declaration as to the solvency of the consolidated or surviving company, a list of the assets and liabilities of each constituent company and an undertaking that a copy of the certificate of merger or consolidation will be given to the members and creditors of each constituent company and that notification of the merger or consolidation will be published in the Cayman Islands Gazette. Court approval is not required for a merger or consolidation which is effected in compliance with these statutory procedures.

A merger between a Cayman parent company and its Cayman subsidiary or subsidiaries does not require authorization by a resolution of shareholders of that Cayman subsidiary if a copy of the plan of merger is given to every member of that Cayman subsidiary to be merged unless that member agrees otherwise. For this purpose a company is a “parent” of a subsidiary if it holds issued shares that together represent at least ninety percent (90%) of the votes at a general meeting of the subsidiary.

152

The consent of each holder of a fixed or floating security interest over a constituent company is required unless this requirement is waived by a court in the Cayman Islands.

Save in certain limited circumstances, a shareholder of a Cayman constituent company who dissents from the merger or consolidation is entitled to payment of the fair value of his shares (which, if not agreed between the parties, will be determined by the Cayman Islands court) upon dissenting to the merger or consolidation, provide the dissenting shareholder complies strictly with the procedures set out in the Companies Law. The exercise of dissenter rights will preclude the exercise by the dissenting shareholder of any other rights to which he or she might otherwise be entitled by virtue of holding shares, save for the right to seek relief on the grounds that the merger or consolidation is void or unlawful.

Separate from the statutory provisions relating to mergers and consolidations, the Companies Law also contains statutory provisions that facilitate the reconstruction and amalgamation of companies by way of schemes of arrangement, provided that the arrangement is approved by a majority in number of each class of shareholders and creditors with whom the arrangement is to be made, and who must in addition represent three-fourths in value of each such class of shareholders or creditors, as the case may be, that are present and voting either in person or by proxy at a meeting, or meetings, convened for that purpose. The convening of the meetings and subsequently the arrangement must be sanctioned by the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands. While a dissenting shareholder has the right to express to the court the view that the transaction ought not to be approved, the court can be expected to approve the arrangement if it determines that:

• the statutory provisions as to the required majority vote have been met;

• the shareholders have been fairly represented at the meeting in question and the statutory majority are acting bona fide without coercion of the minority to promote interests adverse to those of the class;

• the arrangement is such that may be reasonably approved by an intelligent and honest man of that class acting in respect of his interest; and

• the arrangement is not one that would more properly be sanctioned under some other provision of the Companies Law.

The Companies Law also contains a statutory power of compulsory acquisition which may facilitate the “squeeze out” of dissentient minority shareholder upon a tender offer. When a tender offer is made and accepted by holders of 90.0% of the shares affected within four months, the offeror may, within a two-month period commencing on the expiration of such four month period, require the holders of the remaining shares to transfer such shares to the offeror on the terms of the offer. An objection can be made to the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands but this is unlikely to succeed in the case of an offer which has been so approved unless there is evidence of fraud, bad faith or collusion.

If an arrangement and reconstruction by way of scheme of arrangement is thus approved and sanctioned, or if a tender offer is made and accepted, in accordance with the foregoing statutory procedures, a dissenting shareholder would have no rights comparable to appraisal rights, which would otherwise ordinarily be available to dissenting shareholders of Delaware corporations, providing rights to receive payment in cash for the judicially determined value of the shares.

Shareholders’ Suits. In principle, we will normally be the proper plaintiff to sue for a wrong done to us as a company, and as a general rule a derivative action may not be brought by a minority shareholder. However, based on English authorities, which would in all likelihood be of persuasive authority in the Cayman Islands, the Cayman Islands court can be expected to follow and apply the common law principles (namely the rule in Foss v. Harbottle and the exceptions thereto) so that a non-controlling shareholder may be permitted to commence a class action against or derivative actions in the name of the company to challenge actions where:

• a company acts or proposes to act illegally or ultra vires;

153

• the act complained of, although not ultra vires, could only be effected duly if authorized by more than a simple majority vote that has not been obtained; and

• those who control the company are perpetrating a “fraud on the minority.”

Indemnification of Directors and Executive Officers and Limitation of Liability. Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s memorandum and articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. Our post-offering memorandum and articles of association provide that that we shall indemnify our officers and directors against all actions, proceedings, costs, charges, expenses, losses, damages or liabilities incurred or sustained by such directors or officer, other than by reason of such person’s dishonesty, willful default or fraud, in or about the conduct of our company’s business or affairs (including as a result of any mistake of judgment) or in the execution or discharge of his duties, powers, authorities or discretions, including without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, any costs, expenses, losses or liabilities incurred by such director or officer in defending (whether successfully or otherwise) any civil proceedings concerning our company or its affairs in any court whether in the Cayman Islands or elsewhere. This standard of conduct is generally the same as permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law for a Delaware corporation.

In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and executive officers that provide such persons with additional indemnification beyond that provided in our post-offering memorandum and articles of association.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers or persons controlling us under the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Directors’ Fiduciary Duties. Under Delaware corporate law, a director of a Delaware corporation has a fiduciary duty to the corporation and its shareholders. This duty has two components: the duty of care and the duty of loyalty. The duty of care requires that a director act in good faith, with the care that an ordinarily prudent person would exercise under similar circumstances. Under this duty, a director must inform himself of, and disclose to shareholders, all material information reasonably available regarding a significant transaction. The duty of loyalty requires that a director acts in a manner he reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the corporation. He must not use his corporate position for personal gain or advantage. This duty prohibits self-dealing by a director and mandates that the best interest of the corporation and its shareholders take precedence over any interest possessed by a director, officer or controlling shareholder and not shared by the shareholders generally. In general, actions of a director are presumed to have been made on an informed basis, in good faith and in the honest belief that the action taken was in the best interests of the corporation. However, this presumption may be rebutted by evidence of a breach of one of the fiduciary duties. Should such evidence be presented concerning a transaction by a director, the director must prove the procedural fairness of the transaction, and that the transaction was of fair value to the corporation.

As a matter of Cayman Islands law, a director of a Cayman Islands company is in the position of a fiduciary with respect to the company and therefore it is considered that he owes the following duties to the company—a duty to act bona fide in the best interests of the company, a duty not to make a profit based on his position as director (unless the company permits him to do so), a duty not to put himself in a position where the interests of the company conflict with his personal interest or his duty to a third party, and a duty to exercise powers for the purpose for which such powers were intended. A director of a Cayman Islands company owes to the company a duty to act with skill and care. It was previously considered that a director need not exhibit in the performance of his duties a greater degree of skill than may reasonably be expected from a person of his knowledge and

154

experience. However, English and Commonwealth courts have moved towards an objective standard with regard to the required skill and care and these authorities are likely to be followed in the Cayman Islands.

Shareholder Action by Written Consent. Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a corporation may eliminate the right of shareholders to act by written consent by amendment to its certificate of incorporation. Cayman Islands law and our post-offering memorandum and articles of association provide that our shareholders may approve corporate matters by way of a unanimous written resolution signed by or on behalf of each shareholder who would have been entitled to vote on such matter at a general meeting without a meeting being held.

Shareholder Proposals. Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a shareholder has the right to put any proposal before the annual meeting of shareholders, provided it complies with the notice provisions in the governing documents. A special meeting may be called by the board of directors or any other person authorized to do so in the governing documents, but shareholders may be precluded from calling special meetings.

The Companies Law provides shareholders with only limited rights to requisition a general meeting, and does not provide shareholders with any right to put any proposal before a general meeting. However, these rights may be provided in a company’s articles of association. Our post-offering memorandum and articles of association allow any one or more of our shareholders who together hold shares which carry in aggregate not less than one-third of the total number of votes attaching to all issued and outstanding shares of our company entitled to vote at general meetings to requisition an extraordinary general meeting of our shareholders, in which case our board is obliged to convene an extraordinary general meeting and to put the resolutions so requisitioned to a vote at such meeting. Other than this right to requisition a shareholders’ meeting, our post-offering memorandum and articles of association do not provide our shareholders with any other right to put proposals before annual general meetings or extraordinary general meetings. As an exempted Cayman Islands company, we are not obliged by law to call shareholders’ annual general meetings.

Cumulative Voting. Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, cumulative voting for elections of directors is not permitted unless the corporation’s certificate of incorporation specifically provides for it. Cumulative voting potentially facilitates the representation of minority shareholders on a board of directors since it permits the minority shareholder to cast all the votes to which the shareholder is entitled on a single director, which increases the shareholder’s voting power with respect to electing such director. There are no prohibitions in relation to cumulative voting under the laws of the Cayman Islands but our post-offering memorandum and articles of association do not provide for cumulative voting. As a result, our shareholders are not afforded any less protections or rights on this issue than shareholders of a Delaware corporation.

Removal of Directors. Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a director of a corporation with a classified board may be removed only for cause with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Under our post-offering memorandum and articles of association, directors may be removed with or without cause, by an ordinary resolution of our shareholders.

Transactions with Interested Shareholders. The Delaware General Corporation Law contains a business combination statute applicable to Delaware corporations whereby, unless the corporation has specifically elected not to be governed by such statute by amendment to its certificate of incorporation, it is prohibited from engaging in certain business combinations with an “interested shareholder” for three years following the date that such person becomes an interested shareholder. An interested shareholder generally is a person or a group who or which owns or owned 15% or more of the target’s outstanding voting share within the past three years. This has the effect of limiting the ability of a potential acquirer to make a two-tiered bid for the target in which all shareholders would not be treated equally. The statute does not apply if, among other things, prior to the date on which such shareholder becomes an interested shareholder, the board of directors approves either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the person becoming an interested shareholder. This encourages

155

any potential acquirer of a Delaware corporation to negotiate the terms of any acquisition transaction with the target’s board of directors.

Cayman Islands law has no comparable statute. As a result, we cannot avail ourselves of the types of protections afforded by the Delaware business combination statute. However, although Cayman Islands law does not regulate transactions between a company and its significant shareholders, it does provide that such transactions must be entered into bona fide in the best interests of the company and not with the effect of constituting a fraud on the minority shareholders.

Dissolution; Winding up. Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, unless the board of directors approves the proposal to dissolve, dissolution must be approved by shareholders holding 100% of the total voting power of the corporation. Only if the dissolution is initiated by the board of directors may it be approved by a simple majority of the corporation’s outstanding shares. Delaware law allows a Delaware corporation to include in its certificate of incorporation a supermajority voting requirement in connection with dissolutions initiated by the board.

Under Cayman Islands law, a company may be wound up by either an order of the courts of the Cayman Islands or by a special resolution of its members or, if the company is unable to pay its debts as they fall due, by an ordinary resolution of its members. The court has authority to order winding up in a number of specified circumstances including where it is, in the opinion of the court, just and equitable to do so. Under the Companies Law and our post-offering memorandum and articles of association, our company may be dissolved, liquidated or wound up by a special resolution of our shareholders.

Variation of Rights of Shares. Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a corporation may vary the rights of a class of shares with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares of such class, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Under our post-offering memorandum and articles of association, if our share capital is divided into more than one class of shares, we may vary the rights attached to any class with the written consent of the holders of [all]/[a majority] of the issued shares of that class or with the sanction of a resolution passed by a majority of the votes cast at a separate meeting of the holders of the shares of that class.

Amendment of Governing Documents. Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a corporation’s governing documents may be amended with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Under the Companies Law and our post-offering memorandum and articles of association, our memorandum and articles of association may only be amended by a special resolution of our shareholders.

Rights of Non-resident or Foreign Shareholders. There are no limitations imposed by our post-offering memorandum and articles of association on the rights of non-resident or foreign shareholders to hold or exercise voting rights on our shares. In addition, there are no provisions in our post-offering memorandum and articles of association governing the ownership threshold above which shareholder ownership must be disclosed.

Shareholders Agreement

We entered into our eleventh amended and restated shareholders agreement on June 3, 2016, as amended on July 17, 2018, with our shareholders, which consist of holders of ordinary shares and preferred shares.

The shareholders agreement provides for certain shareholders’ rights, including right of participation, right of first refusal, co-sale rights and pre-emptive rights, and contains provisions governing the board of directors and other corporate governance matters.

The shareholders agreement also provides that for so long as Tencent and its affiliates hold no less than 50% of the shares in our company that they current hold, Tencent has a veto right on any proposed transfer or issuance of our securities to the competitors of Tencent, subject to certain exceptions for open market transactions and underwritten offerings.

Except for Tencent’s veto right described above and the registration rights described below, all other shareholders’ rights and the corporate governance provisions will automatically terminate upon the completion of this offering. For the complete text of the shareholders agreement, please see the copy filed as an exhibit to the registration statement filed with the SEC of which this prospectus is a part.

Registration Rights

We have granted certain registration rights to our shareholders. Set forth below is a description of the registration rights granted under the shareholders agreement.

Demand Registration Rights. At any time after the earlier of (i) December 31, 2019 or (ii) six months following the closing of a qualified initial public offering, holders of at least 10% of the registrable securities (including preferred shares and ordinary shares issued upon conversion of preferred shares) then outstanding have the right to demand that we file a registration statement of all registrable securities that the holders request to be registered and included in such registration statement by written notice. Other than required by the underwriter(s) in connection with our initial public offering, at least 25% of the registrable securities requested by the holders to be included in such underwriting and registration shall be so included. We have the right to defer filing of a registration statement for a period of not more than 90 days after the receipt of the request of the initiating holders if we furnish to the holders requesting registration a certificate signed by our president or chief executive officer stating that in the good faith judgment of our board of directors, it would be materially detrimental to us and our shareholders for such registration statement to be filed at such time. However, we cannot exercise the deferral right more than once in any twelve-month period. We are obligated to effect no more than two demand registrations, other than demand registration to be effected pursuant to registration statement on Form F-3, for which an unlimited number of demand registrations shall be permitted.

Piggyback Registration Rights. If we propose to file a registration statement for a public offering of our securities, we must offer shareholders an opportunity to include in the registration statement all or any part of the

158

registrable securities held by such holders. If the managing underwriters of any underwritten offering determine in good faith that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, and the number of shares that may be included in the registration statement and the underwriting shall be allocated (i) first, to us, (ii) second, to each holder requesting inclusion of its registrable securities in such registration statement on a pro rata basis based on the total number of registrable securities then held by each such holder, (iii) third, to holders of other securities of us.

Form F-3 Registration Rights. Our shareholders may request us in writing to file an unlimited number of registration statements on Form F-3. We shall effect the registration of the securities on Form F-3 as soon as practicable, except in certain circumstances.

Expenses of Registration. We will bear all registration expenses (other than underwriting discounts and commissions and conversion fees) and expenses incurred by holders upon our or an underwriters’ request in connection with any demand, piggyback or Form F-3 registration.

Termination of Registration Rights. Our shareholders’ registration rights will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the fifth anniversary of the completion of a qualified public offering, and (ii) as to any shareholder when the shares subject to registration rights held by such shareholder can be sold without restriction in any 90-day period pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

DESCRIPTION OF AMERICAN DEPOSITARY SHARES

[American Depositary Receipts

                , as depositary will issue the ADSs which you will be entitled to receive in this offering. Each ADS will represent an ownership interest in                Class A ordinary shares which we will deposit with the custodian, as agent of the depositary, under the deposit agreement among ourselves, the depositary and yourself as an ADR holder. In the future, each ADS will also represent any securities, cash or other property deposited with the depositary but which they have not distributed directly to you. Unless specifically requested by you, all ADSs will be issued on the books of our depositary in book-entry form and periodic statements will be mailed to you which reflect your ownership interest in such ADSs. In our description, references to American depositary receipts or ADRs shall include the statements you will receive which reflect your ownership of ADSs.

The depositary’s office is located at                .

You may hold ADSs either directly or indirectly through your broker or other financial institution. If you hold ADSs directly, by having an ADS registered in your name on the books of the depositary, you are an ADR holder. This description assumes you hold your ADSs directly. If you hold the ADSs through your broker or financial institution nominee, you must rely on the procedures of such broker or financial institution to assert the rights of an ADR holder described in this section. You should consult with your broker or financial institution to find out what those procedures are.

As an ADR holder, we will not treat you as a shareholder of ours and you will not have any shareholder rights. Cayman Islands law governs shareholder rights. Because the depositary or its nominee will be the shareholder of record for the shares represented by all outstanding ADSs, shareholder rights rest with such record holder. Your rights are those of an ADR holder. Such rights derive from the terms of the deposit agreement to be entered into among us, the depositary and all registered holders from time to time of ADSs issued under the deposit agreement. The obligations of the depositary and its agents are also set out in the deposit agreement. Because the depositary or its nominee will actually be the registered owner of the shares, you must rely on it to exercise the rights of a shareholder on your behalf. The deposit agreement and the ADSs are governed by New York law.

The following is a summary of what we believe to be the material terms of the deposit agreement. Notwithstanding this, because it is a summary, it may not contain all the information that you may otherwise deem important. For more complete information, you should read the entire deposit agreement and the form of ADR which contains the terms of your ADSs. You can read a copy of the deposit agreement which is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms apart.

Share Dividends and Other Distributions

How will I receive dividends and other distributions on the shares underlying my ADSs?

We may make various types of distributions with respect to our securities. The depositary has agreed that, to the extent practicable, it will pay to you the cash dividends or other distributions it or the custodian receives on shares or other deposited securities, after converting any cash received into U.S. dollars and, in all cases, making any necessary deductions provided for in the deposit agreement. You will receive these distributions in proportion to the number of underlying securities that your ADSs represent.

Except as stated below, the depositary will deliver such distributions to ADR holders in proportion to their interests in the following manner:

• Cash. The depositary will distribute any U.S. dollars available to it resulting from a cash dividend or other cash distribution or the net proceeds of sales of any other distribution or portion thereof (to the

160

extent applicable), on an averaged or other practicable basis, subject to (i) appropriate adjustments for taxes withheld, (ii) such distribution being impermissible or impracticable with respect to certain registered ADR holders, and (iii) deduction of the depositary’s expenses in (1) converting any foreign currency to U.S. dollars to the extent that it determines that such conversion may be made on a reasonable basis, (2) transferring foreign currency or U.S. dollars to the United States by such means as the depositary may determine to the extent that it determines that such transfer may be made on a reasonable basis, (3) obtaining any approval or license of any governmental authority required for such conversion or transfer, which is obtainable at a reasonable cost and within a reasonable time and (4) making any sale by public or private means in any commercially reasonable manner. The depositary will hold any cash amounts it is unable to distribute in a non-interest-bearing account for the benefit of the applicable holders and beneficial owners of ADSs until the distribution can be effected or the funds that the depositary holds must be escheated as unclaimed property in accordance with the laws of the relevant states of the United States. If exchange rates fluctuate during a time when the depositary cannot convert a foreign currency, you may lose some or all of the value of the distribution.

• Shares. In the case of a distribution in shares, the depositary will issue additional ADRs to evidence the number of ADSs representing such shares. Only whole ADSs will be issued. Any shares which would result in fractional ADSs will be sold and the net proceeds will be distributed in the same manner as cash to the ADR holders entitled thereto.

• Rights to Receive Additional Shares. In the case of a distribution of rights to subscribe for additional shares or other rights, if we provide evidence satisfactory to the depositary that it may lawfully distribute such rights, the depositary will distribute warrants or other instruments in the discretion of the depositary representing such rights. However, if we do not furnish such evidence, the depositary may:

^¡  sell such rights if practicable and distribute the net proceeds in the same manner as cash to the ADR holders entitled thereto; or

^¡  if it is not practicable to sell such rights, do nothing and allow such rights to lapse, in which case ADR holders will receive nothing.

We have no obligation to file a registration statement under the Securities Act in order to make any rights available to ADR holders.

• Other Distributions. In the case of a distribution of securities or property other than those described above, the depositary may either (i) distribute such securities or property in any manner it deems equitable and practicable or (ii) to the extent the depositary deems distribution of such securities or property not to be equitable and practicable, sell such securities or property and distribute any net proceeds in the same way it distributes cash.

If the depositary determines that any distribution described above is not practicable with respect to any specific registered ADR holder, the depositary may choose any method of distribution that it deems practicable for such ADR holder, including the distribution of foreign currency, securities or property, or it may retain such items, without paying interest on or investing them, on behalf of the ADR holder as deposited securities, in which case the ADSs will also represent the retained items.

Any U.S. dollars will be distributed by checks drawn on a bank in the United States for whole dollars and cents. Fractional cents will be withheld without liability and dealt with by the depositary in accordance with its then current practices.

The depositary is not responsible if it decides that it is unlawful or impractical to make a distribution available to any ADR holders.

161

There can be no assurance that the depositary will be able to convert any currency at a specified exchange rate or sell any property, rights, shares or other securities at a specified price, nor that any of such transactions can be completed within a specified time period.

Deposit, Withdrawal and Cancelation

How does the depositary issue ADSs?

The depositary will issue ADSs if you or your broker deposit shares or evidence of rights to receive shares with the custodian and pay the fees and expenses owing to the depositary in connection with such issuance. In the case of the ADSs to be issued under this prospectus, we will arrange with the underwriters named herein to deposit such shares.

Shares deposited in the future with the custodian must be accompanied by certain delivery documentation and shall, at the time of such deposit, be registered in the name of                , as depositary for the benefit of holders of ADRs or in such other name as the depositary shall direct.

The custodian will hold all deposited shares (including those being deposited by or on our behalf in connection with the offering to which this prospectus relates) for the account of the depositary. ADR holders thus have no direct ownership interest in the shares and only have such rights as are contained in the deposit agreement. The custodian will also hold any additional securities, property and cash received on or in substitution for the deposited shares. The deposited shares and any such additional items are referred to as “deposited securities.” Upon each deposit of shares, receipt of related delivery documentation and compliance with the other provisions of the deposit agreement, including the payment of the fees and charges of the depositary and any taxes or other fees or charges owing, the depositary will issue an ADR or ADRs in the name or upon the order of the person entitled thereto evidencing the number of ADSs to which such person is entitled. All of the ADSs issued will, unless specifically requested to the contrary, be part of the depositary’s direct registration system, and a registered holder will receive periodic statements from the depositary which will show the number of ADSs registered in such holder’s name. An ADR holder can request that the ADSs not be held through the depositary’s direct registration system and that a certificated ADR be issued.

How do ADR holders cancel an ADS and obtain deposited securities?

When you turn in your ADR certificate at the depositary’s office, or when you provide proper instructions and documentation in the case of direct registration ADSs, the depositary will, upon payment of certain applicable fees, charges and taxes, deliver the underlying shares to you or upon your written order. At your risk, expense and request, the depositary may deliver deposited securities at such other place as you may request.

The depositary may only restrict the withdrawal of deposited securities in connection with:

• temporary delays caused by closing our transfer books or those of the depositary or the deposit of shares in connection with voting at a shareholders’ meeting, or the payment of dividends;

• the payment of fees, taxes and similar charges; or

• compliance with any U.S. or foreign laws or governmental regulations relating to the ADRs or to the withdrawal of deposited securities.

This right of withdrawal may not be limited by any other provision of the deposit agreement.

Record Dates

The depositary may, after consultation with us if practicable, fix record dates for the determination of the registered ADR holders who will be entitled (or obligated, as the case may be):

• to receive any distribution on or in respect of shares,

162

• to give instructions for the exercise of voting rights at a meeting of holders of shares,

• to pay the fee assessed by the depositary for administration of the ADR program and for any expenses as provided for in the ADR, or

• to receive any notice or to act in respect of other matters all subject to the provisions of the deposit agreement.

Voting Rights

How do I vote?

If you are an ADR holder and the depositary asks you to provide it with voting instructions, you may instruct the depositary how to exercise the voting rights for the shares which underlie your ADSs. As soon as practicable after receiving notice of any meeting or solicitation of consents or proxies from us, the depositary will distribute to the registered ADR holders a notice stating such information as is contained in the voting materials received by the depositary and describing how you may instruct the depositary to exercise the voting rights for the shares which underlie your ADSs. For instructions to be valid, the depositary must receive them in the manner and on or before the date specified. No voting instructions may be deemed given to the depositary to give a discretionary proxy to a person designated by us if no instructions are received by the depositary from you on or before the response date established by the depositary. The depositary will try, as far as is practical, subject to the provisions of and governing the underlying shares or other deposited securities, to vote or to have its agents vote the shares or other deposited securities as you instruct. The depositary will only vote or attempt to vote as you instruct. The depositary will not itself exercise any voting discretion. Furthermore, neither the depositary nor its agents are responsible for any failure to carry out any voting instructions, for the manner in which any vote is cast or for the effect of any vote. Notwithstanding anything contained in the deposit agreement or any ADR, the depositary may, to the extent not prohibited by law or regulations, or by the requirements of the stock exchange on which the ADSs are listed, in lieu of distribution of the materials provided to the depositary in connection with any meeting of, or solicitation of consents or proxies from, holders of deposited securities, distribute to the registered holders of ADRs a notice that provides such holders with, or otherwise publicizes to such holders, instructions on how to retrieve such materials or receive such materials upon request (i.e., by reference to a website containing the materials for retrieval or a contact for requesting copies of the materials).

Under our constituent documents the depositary would be able to provide us with voting instructions without having to personally attend meetings in person, by means of it delivering an instrument of proxy. Such voting instructions may be provided to us by means of the depositary delivering an instrument of proxy via facsimile, email, mail, courier or other recognized form of delivery and we agree to accept any such delivery so long as it is timely received prior to the meeting. We will endeavor to provide the depositary with written notice of each meeting of shareholders promptly after determining the date of such meeting so as to enable it to solicit and receive voting instructions. In general, the depositary will require that voting instructions be received by the depositary no less than five business days prior to the date of each meeting of shareholders. Under the post-offering amended and restated memorandum and articles of association that we expect to adopt, the minimum notice period required to convene a general meeting is seven days. The depositary may not have sufficient time to solicit voting instructions, and it is possible that you, or persons who hold their ADSs through brokers, dealers or other third parties, will not have the opportunity to exercise a right to vote.

Notwithstanding the above, we have advised the depositary that under the Cayman Islands law and our constituent documents, each as in effect as of the date of the deposit agreement, voting at any meeting of shareholders is by show of hands unless a poll is (before or on the declaration of the results of the show of hands) demanded. In the event that voting on any resolution or matter is conducted on a show of hands basis in accordance with our constituent documents, the depositary will refrain from voting and the voting instructions (or the deemed voting instructions, as set out above) received by the depositary from holders shall lapse. The depositary will not demand a poll or join in demanding a poll, whether or not requested to do so by holders of ADSs.

163

There is no guarantee that you will receive voting materials in time to instruct the depositary to vote and it is possible that you, or persons who hold their ADSs through brokers, dealers or other third parties, will not have the opportunity to exercise a right to vote.

Reports and Other Communications

Will ADR holders be able to view our reports?

The depositary will make available for inspection by ADR holders at the offices of the depositary and the custodian the deposit agreement, the provisions of or governing deposited securities, and any written communications from us which are both received by the custodian or its nominee as a holder of deposited securities and made generally available to the holders of deposited securities.

Additionally, if we make any written communications generally available to holders of our shares, and we furnish copies thereof (or English translations or summaries) to the depositary, it will distribute the same to registered ADR holders.

Fees and Expenses

What fees and expenses will I be responsible for paying?

The depositary may charge each person to whom ADSs are issued, including, without limitation, issuances against deposits of shares, issuances in respect of share distributions, rights and other distributions, issuances pursuant to a stock dividend or stock split declared by us or issuances pursuant to a merger, exchange of securities or any other transaction or event affecting the ADSs or deposited securities, and each person surrendering ADSs for withdrawal of deposited securities or whose ADRs are canceled or reduced for any other reason, US$5.00 for each 100 ADSs (or any portion thereof) issued, delivered, reduced, canceled or surrendered, as the case may be. The depositary may sell (by public or private sale) sufficient securities and property received in respect of a share distribution, rights and/or other distribution prior to such deposit to pay such charge.

The following additional charges shall be incurred by the ADR holders, by any party depositing or withdrawing shares or by any party surrendering ADSs or to whom ADSs are issued (including, without limitation, issuance pursuant to a stock dividend or stock split declared by us or an exchange of stock regarding the ADRs or the deposited securities or a distribution of ADSs), whichever is applicable:

• a fee of US$                per ADR or ADRs for transfers of certificated or direct registration ADRs;

• a fee of up to US$                per ADS for any cash distribution made pursuant to the deposit agreement;

• a fee of up to US$                per ADS per calendar year (or portion thereof) for services performed by the depositary in administering the ADRs (which fee may be charged on a periodic basis during each calendar year and shall be assessed against holders of ADRs as of the record date or record dates set by the depositary during each calendar year and shall be payable in the manner described in the next succeeding provision);

• reimbursement of such fees, charges and expenses as are incurred by the depositary and/or any of the depositary’s agents (including, without limitation, the custodian and expenses incurred on behalf of holders in connection with compliance with foreign exchange control regulations or any law or regulation relating to foreign investment) in connection with the servicing of the shares or other deposited securities, the delivery of deposited securities or otherwise in connection with the depositary’s or its custodian’s compliance with applicable law, rule or regulation (which charge shall be assessed on a proportionate basis against holders as of the record date or dates set by the depositary and shall be payable at the sole discretion of the depositary by billing such holders or by deducting such charge from one or more cash dividends or other cash distributions);

164

• a fee for the distribution of securities (or the sale of securities in connection with a distribution), such fee being in an amount equal to the fee for the execution and delivery of ADSs which would have been charged as a result of the deposit of such securities (treating all such securities as if they were shares and there would be a fee of five cents per ADS outstanding);

• stock transfer or other taxes and other governmental charges;

• cable, telex and facsimile transmission and delivery charges incurred at your request in connection with the deposit or delivery of shares;

• transfer or registration fees for the registration of transfer of deposited securities on any applicable register in connection with the deposit or withdrawal of deposited securities; and

• expenses of the depositary in connection with the conversion of foreign currency into U.S. dollars.

We will pay all other charges and expenses of the depositary and any agent of the depositary (except the custodian) pursuant to agreements from time to time between us and the depositary. The charges described above may be amended from time to time by agreement between us and the depositary.

Our depositary has agreed to reimburse us for certain expenses we incur that are related to establishment and maintenance of the ADR program, including investor relations expenses and exchange application and listing fees. Neither the depositary nor we can determine the exact amount to be made available to us because (i) the number of ADSs that will be issued and outstanding, (ii) the level of fees to be charged to holders of ADSs and (iii) our reimbursable expenses related to the ADR program are not known at this time. The depositary collects its fees for issuance and cancelation of ADSs directly from investors depositing shares or surrendering ADSs for the purpose of withdrawal or from intermediaries acting for them. The depositary collects fees for making distributions to investors by deducting those fees from the amounts distributed or by selling a portion of distributable property to pay the fees. The depositary may collect its annual fee for depositary services by deduction from cash distributions, or by directly billing investors, or by charging the book-entry system accounts of participants acting for them. The depositary will generally set off the amounts owing from distributions made to holders of ADSs. If, however, no distribution exists and payment owing is not timely received by the depositary, the depositary may refuse to provide any further services to holders that have not paid those fees and expenses owing until such fees and expenses have been paid. At the discretion of the depositary, all fees and charges owing under the deposit agreement are due in advance and/or when declared owing by the depositary.

Payment of Taxes

ADR holders must pay any tax or other governmental charge payable by the custodian or the depositary on any ADS or ADR, deposited security or distribution. If an ADR holder owes any tax or other governmental charge, the depositary may (i) deduct the amount thereof from any cash distributions, or (ii) sell deposited securities (by public or private sale) and deduct the amount owing from the net proceeds of such sale. In either case the ADR holder remains liable for any shortfall. Additionally, if any taxes or other governmental charges (including any penalties and/or interest) shall become payable by or on behalf of the custodian or the depositary with respect to any ADR, any deposited securities represented by the ADSs evidenced thereby or any distribution thereon, including, without limitation, any Chinese Enterprise Income Tax owing if the Circular Guoshuifa [2009] No. 82 issued by the Chinese State Administration of Taxation or any other circular, edict, order or ruling, as issued and as from time to time amended, is applied or otherwise, such tax or other governmental charge shall be paid by the holder thereof to the depositary. and by holding or having held an ADR the holder and all prior holders thereof, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify, defend and save harmless each of the depositary and its agents in respect thereof. If any tax or governmental charge is unpaid, the depositary may also refuse to effect any registration, registration of transfer, split-up or combination of deposited securities or withdrawal of deposited securities until such payment is made. If any tax or governmental charge is required to be withheld on any cash distribution, the depositary may deduct the amount required to be withheld from any cash distribution or, in the case of a non-cash distribution, sell the distributed property or securities (by public or private sale) to pay such taxes and distribute any remaining net proceeds to the ADR holders entitled thereto.

165

By holding an ADR or an interest therein, you will be agreeing to indemnify us, the depositary, its custodian and any of our or their respective directors, employees, agents and affiliates against, and hold each of them harmless from, any claims by any governmental authority with respect to taxes, additions to tax, penalties or interest arising out of any refund of taxes, reduced rate of withholding at source or other tax benefit obtained.

Reclassifications, Recapitalizations and Mergers

If we take certain actions that affect the deposited securities, including (i) any change in par value, split-up, consolidation, cancelation or other reclassification of deposited securities or (ii) any distributions not made to holders of ADRs or (iii) any recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, liquidation, receivership, bankruptcy or sale of all or substantially all of our assets, then the depositary may choose to:

• amend the form of ADR;

• distribute additional or amended ADRs;

• distribute cash, securities or other property it has received in connection with such actions;

• sell any securities or property received and distribute the proceeds as cash; or

• none of the above.

If the depositary does not choose any of the above options, any of the cash, securities or other property it receives will constitute part of the deposited securities and each ADS will then represent a proportionate interest in such property.

Amendment and Termination

How may the deposit agreement be amended?

We may agree with the depositary to amend the deposit agreement and the ADSs without your consent for any reason. ADR holders must be given at least 30 days’ notice of any amendment that imposes or increases any fees or charges (other than stock transfer or other taxes and other governmental charges, transfer or registration fees, cable, telex or facsimile transmission costs, delivery costs or other such expenses), or otherwise prejudices any substantial existing right of ADR holders. Such notice need not describe in detail the specific amendments effectuated thereby, but must give ADR holders a means to access the text of such amendment. If an ADR holder continues to hold an ADR or ADRs after being so notified, such ADR holder is deemed to agree to such amendment and to be bound by the deposit agreement as so amended. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any governmental body or regulatory body should adopt new laws, rules or regulations which would require amendment or supplement of the deposit agreement or the form of ADR to ensure compliance therewith, we and the depositary may amend or supplement the deposit agreement and the ADR at any time in accordance with such changed laws, rules or regulations, which amendment or supplement may take effect before a notice is given or within any other period of time as required for compliance. No amendment, however, will impair your right to surrender your ADSs and receive the underlying securities, except in order to comply with mandatory provisions of applicable law.

How may the deposit agreement be terminated?

The depositary may, and shall at our written direction, terminate the deposit agreement and the ADRs by mailing notice of such termination to the registered holders of ADRs at least 30 days prior to the date fixed in such notice for such termination; provided, however, if the depositary shall have (i) resigned as depositary under the deposit agreement, notice of such termination by the depositary shall not be provided to registered holders unless a successor depositary shall not be operating under the deposit agreement within 45 days of the date of such resignation, and (ii) been removed as depositary under the deposit agreement, notice of such termination by the depositary shall not be provided to registered holders of ADRs unless a successor depositary shall not be

166

operating under the deposit agreement on the 90th day after our notice of removal was first provided to the depositary. After termination, the depositary’s only responsibility will be (i) to deliver deposited securities to ADR holders who surrender their ADRs, and (ii) to hold or sell distributions received on deposited securities. As soon as practicable after the expiration of six months from the termination date, the depositary will sell the deposited securities which remain and hold the net proceeds of such sales (as long as it may lawfully do so), without liability for interest, in trust for the ADR holders who have not yet surrendered their ADRs. After making such sale, the depositary shall have no obligations except to account for such proceeds and other cash.

Limitations on Obligations and Liability to ADS Holders

Limits on our obligations and the obligations of the depositary; limits on liability to ADR holders and holders of ADSs

Prior to the issue, registration, registration of transfer, split-up, combination, or cancelation of any ADRs, or the delivery of any distribution in respect thereof, and from time to time, we or the depositary or its custodian may require:

• payment with respect thereto of (i) any stock transfer or other tax or other governmental charge, (ii) any stock transfer or registration fees in effect for the registration of transfers of shares or other deposited securities upon any applicable register and (iii) any applicable fees and expenses described in the deposit agreement;

• the production of proof satisfactory to it of (i) the identity of any signatory and genuineness of any signature and (ii) such other information, including without limitation, information as to citizenship, residence, exchange control approval, beneficial ownership of any securities, compliance with applicable law, regulations, provisions of or governing deposited securities and terms of the deposit agreement and the ADRs, as it may deem necessary or proper; and

• compliance with such regulations as the depositary may establish consistent with the deposit agreement.

The issuance of ADRs, the acceptance of deposits of shares, the registration, registration of transfer, split-up or combination of ADRs or the withdrawal of shares, may be suspended, generally or in particular instances, when the ADR register or any register for deposited securities is closed or when any such action is deemed advisable by the depositary; provided that the ability to withdrawal shares may only be limited under the following circumstances: (i) temporary delays caused by closing transfer books of the depositary or our transfer books or the deposit of shares in connection with voting at a shareholders’ meeting, or the payment of dividends, (ii) the payment of fees, taxes, and similar charges, and (iii) compliance with any laws or governmental regulations relating to ADRs or to the withdrawal of deposited securities.

The deposit agreement expressly limits the obligations and liability of the depositary, ourselves and our respective agents. Neither we nor the depositary nor any such agent will be liable if:

• any present or future law, rule, regulation, fiat, order or decree of the United States, the Cayman Islands, the People’s Republic of China or any other country, or of any governmental or regulatory authority or securities exchange or market or automated quotation system, the provisions of or governing any deposited securities, any present or future provision of our charter, any act of God, war, terrorism or other circumstance beyond our, the depositary’s or our respective agents’ control shall prevent or delay, or shall cause any of them to be subject to any civil or criminal penalty in connection with, any act which the deposit agreement or the ADRs provide shall be done or performed by us, the depositary or our respective agents (including, without limitation, voting);

• it exercises or fails to exercise discretion under the deposit agreement or the ADR;

• it performs its obligations under the deposit agreement and ADRs without gross negligence or bad faith;

167

• it takes any action or refrains from taking any action in reliance upon the advice of or information from legal counsel, accountants, any person presenting shares for deposit, any registered holder of ADRs, or any other person believed by it to be competent to give such advice or information; or

• it relies upon any written notice, request, direction or other document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.

Neither the depositary nor its agents have any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any action, suit or other proceeding in respect of any deposited securities or the ADRs. We and our agents shall only be obligated to appear in, prosecute or defend any action, suit or other proceeding in respect of any deposited securities or the ADRs, which in our opinion may involve us in expense or liability, if indemnity satisfactory to us against all expense (including fees and disbursements of counsel) and liability is furnished as often as may be required. The depositary and its agents may fully respond to any and all demands or requests for information maintained by or on its behalf in connection with the deposit agreement, any registered holder or holders of ADRs, any ADRs or otherwise related to the deposit agreement or ADRs to the extent such information is requested or required by or pursuant to any lawful authority, including without limitation laws, rules, regulations, administrative or judicial process, banking, securities or other regulators. The depositary shall not be liable for the acts or omissions made by any securities depository, clearing agency or settlement system in connection with or arising out of book-entry settlement of deposited securities or otherwise. Furthermore, the depositary shall not be responsible for, and shall incur no liability in connection with or arising from, the insolvency of any custodian that is not a branch or affiliate of                . The depositary and the custodian(s) may use third party delivery services and providers of information regarding matters such as pricing, proxy voting, corporate actions, class action litigation and other services in connection with the ADRs and the deposit agreement, and use local agents to provide extraordinary services such as attendance at annual meetings of issuers of securities. Although the depositary and the custodian will use reasonable care (and cause their agents to use reasonable care) in the selection and retention of such third party providers and local agents, they will not be responsible for any errors or omissions made by them in providing the relevant information or services.

Additionally, none of us, the depositary or the custodian shall be liable for the failure by any registered holder of ADRs or beneficial owner therein to obtain the benefits of credits on the basis of non-U.S. tax paid against such holder’s or beneficial owner’s income tax liability. Neither we nor the depositary shall incur any liability for any tax consequences that may be incurred by holders or beneficial owners on account of their ownership of ADRs or ADSs.

Neither the depositary nor its agents will be responsible for any failure to carry out any instructions to vote any of the deposited securities, for the manner in which any such vote is cast or for the effect of any such vote. Neither the depositary nor any of its agents shall be liable to registered holders of ADRs or beneficial owners of interests in ADSs for any indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages (including, without limitation, lost profits) of any form incurred by any person or entity, whether or not foreseeable and regardless of the type of action in which such a claim may be brought.

In the deposit agreement each party thereto (including, for avoidance of doubt, each holder and beneficial owner and/or holder of interests in ADRs) irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in any suit, action or proceeding against the depositary and/or the company directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to the shares or other deposited securities, the ADSs or the ADRs, the deposit agreement or any transaction contemplated therein, or the breach thereof (whether based on contract, tort, common law or any other theory).

The depositary may own and deal in any class of our securities and in ADSs.

Disclosure of Interest in ADSs

To the extent that the provisions of or governing any deposited securities may require disclosure of or impose limits on beneficial or other ownership of deposited securities, other shares and other securities and may

168

provide for blocking transfer, voting or other rights to enforce such disclosure or limits, you agree to comply with all such disclosure requirements and ownership limitations and to comply with any reasonable instructions we may provide in respect thereof. We reserve the right to instruct you to deliver your ADSs for cancelation and withdrawal of the deposited securities so as to permit us to deal with you directly as a holder of shares and, by holding an ADS or an interest therein, you will be agreeing to comply with such instructions.

Books of Depositary

The depositary or its agent will maintain a register for the registration, registration of transfer, combination and split-up of ADRs, which register shall include the depositary’s direct registration system. Registered holders of ADRs may inspect such records at the depositary’s office at all reasonable times, but solely for the purpose of communicating with other holders in the interest of the business of our company or a matter relating to the deposit agreement. Such register may be closed from time to time, when deemed expedient by the depositary.

The depositary will maintain facilities for the delivery and receipt of ADRs.

Pre-release of ADSs

In its capacity as depositary, the depositary shall not lend shares or ADSs; provided, however, that the depositary may issue ADSs prior to the receipt of shares (each such transaction a “pre-release”). The depositary may receive ADSs in lieu of shares (which ADSs will promptly be canceled by the depositary upon receipt by the depositary). Each such pre-release will be subject to a written agreement whereby the person or entity (the “applicant”) to whom ADSs are to be delivered (a) represents that at the time of the pre-release the applicant or its customer owns the shares that are to be delivered by the applicant under such pre-release, (b) agrees to indicate the depositary as owner of such shares in its records and to hold such shares in trust for the depositary until such shares are delivered to the depositary or the custodian, (c) unconditionally guarantees to deliver to the depositary or the custodian, as applicable, such shares, and (d) agrees to any additional restrictions or requirements that the depositary deems appropriate. Each such pre-release will be at all times fully collateralized with cash, U.S. government securities or such other collateral as the depositary deems appropriate, terminable by the depositary on not more than five (5) business days’ notice and subject to such further indemnities and credit regulations as the depositary deems appropriate. The depositary will normally limit the number of ADSs involved in such pre-release at any one time to thirty percent (30%) of the ADSs outstanding (without giving effect to pre-released ADSs outstanding), provided, however, that the depositary reserves the right to change or disregard such limit from time to time as it deems appropriate. The depositary may also set limits with respect to the number of ADSs involved in pre-release with any one person on a case-by-case basis as it deems appropriate. The depositary may retain for its own account any compensation received by it in conjunction with the foregoing. Collateral provided in connection with pre-release transactions, but not the earnings thereon, shall be held for the benefit of the registered holders of ADRs (other than the applicant).

Appointment

In the deposit agreement, each registered holder of ADRs and each person holding an interest in ADSs, upon acceptance of any ADSs (or any interest therein) issued in accordance with the terms and conditions of the deposit agreement will be deemed for all purposes to:

• be a party to and bound by the terms of the deposit agreement and the applicable ADR or ADRs, and

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

Upon completion of this offering, we will have                ADSs outstanding, representing                Class A ordinary shares or, approximately         % of our outstanding Class A and Class B ordinary shares, assuming the underwriters do not exercise their over-allotment option to purchase additional ADSs. All of the ADSs sold in this offering will be freely transferable by persons other than by our “affiliates” without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act. Sales of substantial amounts of our ADSs in the public market could adversely affect prevailing market prices of our ADSs. Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our ordinary shares or ADSs. We intend to apply to list the ADSs on the [New York Stock Exchange/Nasdaq Global Market], but we cannot assure you that a regular trading market will develop in the ADSs. We do not expect that a trading market will develop for our ordinary shares not represented by the ADSs.

Lock-up Agreements

[We, our directors and executive officers, our existing shareholders and holders of our share-based awards] have agreed, for a period of 180 days after the date of this prospectus, not to offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, grant any option to purchase, make any short sale, lend or otherwise dispose of, except in this offering, any of our ordinary shares or ADSs or securities that are substantially similar to our ordinary shares or ADSs, including but not limited to any options or warrants to purchase our ordinary shares, ADSs or any securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for, or that represent the right to receive, our ordinary shares, ADSs or any such substantially similar securities (other than pursuant to employee stock option plans existing on, or upon the conversion or exchange of convertible or exchangeable securities outstanding as of, the date such lock-up agreement was executed), without the prior written consent of the representatives of the underwriters.

The restrictions described in the preceding paragraphs will be automatically extended under certain circumstances. See “Underwriting.”

Other than this offering, we are not aware of any plans by any significant shareholders to dispose of significant numbers of our ADSs or ordinary shares. However, one or more existing shareholders or owners of securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for our ADSs or ordinary shares may dispose of significant numbers of our ADSs or ordinary shares in the future. We cannot predict what effect, if any, future sales of our ADSs or ordinary shares, or the availability of ADSs or ordinary shares for future sale, will have on the trading price of our ADSs from time to time. Sales of substantial amounts of our ADSs or ordinary shares in the public market, or the perception that these sales could occur, could adversely affect the trading price of our ADSs.

Rule 144

All of our ordinary shares that will be outstanding upon the completion of this offering, other than those ordinary shares sold in this offering, are “restricted securities” as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act and may be sold publicly in the United States only if they are subject to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirement such as those provided by Rule 144 and Rule 701 promulgated under the Securities Act. In general, beginning 90 days after the date of this prospectus, a person (or persons whose shares are aggregated) who at the time of a sale is not, and has not been during the three months preceding the sale, an affiliate of ours and has beneficially owned our restricted securities for at least six months will be entitled to sell the restricted securities without registration under the Securities Act, subject only to the availability of current public information about us, and will be entitled to sell restricted securities beneficially owned for at least one year without restriction. Persons who are our affiliates and have beneficially owned our restricted securities for at least six months may sell a number of restricted securities within any three-month period that does not exceed the greater of the following:

• 1% of the then outstanding Class A ordinary shares, in the form of ADSs or otherwise, which will equal approximately                  Class A ordinary shares immediately after this offering; or

171

• the average weekly trading volume of our Class A ordinary shares in the form of ADSs or otherwise, on the [Nasdaq Global Market/ New York Stock Exchange], during the four calendar weeks preceding the date on which notice of the sale is filed with the SEC.

Sales by our affiliates under Rule 144 are also subject to certain requirements relating to manner of sale, notice and the availability of current public information about us.

Rule 701

In general, under Rule 701 of the Securities Act as currently in effect, each of our employees, consultants or advisors who purchases our ordinary shares from us in connection with a compensatory stock plan or other written agreement executed prior to the completion of this offering is eligible to resell those ordinary shares in reliance on Rule 144, but without compliance with some of the restrictions, including the holding period, contained in Rule 144. However, the Rule 701 shares would remain subject to lock-up arrangements and would only become eligible for sale when the lock-up period expires.

172

TAXATION

The following summary of the material Cayman Islands, PRC and U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in our ADSs or Class A ordinary shares is based upon laws and relevant interpretations thereof as of the date of this registration statement, all of which are subject to change. This summary does not deal with all possible tax consequences relating to an investment in our ADSs or Class A ordinary shares, such as the tax consequences under U.S. state and local tax laws or under the tax laws of jurisdictions other than the Cayman Islands, the People’s Republic of China and the United States. To the extent that the discussion relates to matters of Cayman Islands tax law, it represents the opinion of Maples and Calder (Hong Kong) LLP, our Cayman Islands counsel; to the extent it relates to PRC tax law, it is the opinion of Grandall Law Firm (Shanghai), our PRC counsel.

Cayman Islands Taxation

The Cayman Islands currently levies no taxes on individuals or corporations based upon profits, income, gains or appreciation and there is no taxation in the nature of inheritance tax or estate duty. There are no other taxes likely to be material to us levied by the government of the Cayman Islands except for stamp duties which may be applicable on instruments executed in, or, after execution, brought within the jurisdiction of the Cayman Islands. The Cayman Islands is not party to any double tax treaties that are applicable to any payments made to or by our company. There are no exchange control regulations or currency restrictions in the Cayman Islands.

Payments of dividends and capital gains in respect of our ordinary shares or ADSs will not be subject to taxation in the Cayman Islands and no withholding will be required on the payment of a dividend or capital gains to any holder of our ordinary shares or ADSs, nor will capital gains derived from the disposal of our ordinary shares or ADSs be subject to Cayman Islands income or corporation tax.

No stamp duty is payable in respect of the issue of the Class A ordinary shares or ADSs or on an instrument of transfer in respect of a Class A ordinary shares or ADSs.

People’s Republic of China Taxation

Under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law and its implementation rules, an enterprise established outside of the PRC with a “de facto management body” within the PRC is considered a resident enterprise and will be subject to the enterprise income tax at the rate of 25% on its global income. The implementation rules define the term “de facto management body” as the body that exercises full and substantial control over and overall management of the business, productions, personnel, accounts and properties of an enterprise. In April 2009, the State Administration of Taxation issued a circular, known as Circular 82, which provides certain specific criteria for determining whether the “de facto management body” of a PRC-controlled enterprise that is incorporated offshore is located in China. Although this circular only applies to offshore enterprises controlled by PRC enterprises or PRC enterprise groups, not those controlled by PRC individuals or foreigners, the criteria set forth in the circular may reflect the State Administration of Taxation’s general position on how the “de facto management body” test should be applied in determining the tax resident status of all offshore enterprises. According to Circular 82, an offshore incorporated enterprise controlled by a PRC enterprise or a PRC enterprise group will be regarded as a PRC tax resident by virtue of having its “de facto management body” in China only if all of the following conditions are met: (i) the primary location of the day-to-day operational management is in the PRC; (ii) decisions relating to the enterprise’s financial and human resource matters are made or are subject to approval by organizations or personnel in the PRC; (iii) the enterprise’s primary assets, accounting books and records, company seals, and board and shareholder resolutions, are located or maintained in the PRC; and (iv) at least 50% of voting board members or senior executives habitually reside in the PRC.

We believe that Meili Inc. is not a PRC resident enterprise for PRC tax purposes. Meili Inc. is not controlled by a PRC enterprise or PRC enterprise group, and we do not believe that Meili Inc. meets all of the conditions

173

above. Meili Inc. is a company incorporated outside of the PRC. For the same reasons, we believe our other controlled entities outside of China are not PRC resident enterprises either. However, the tax resident status of an enterprise is subject to determination by the PRC tax authorities and uncertainties remain with respect to the interpretation of the term “de facto management body.” There can be no assurance that the PRC government will ultimately take a view that is consistent with us.

If the PRC tax authorities determine that Meili Inc. is a PRC resident enterprise for enterprise income tax purposes, we may be required to withhold a 10% withholding tax from dividends we pay to our shareholders that are non-resident enterprises, including the holders of our ADSs. In addition, non-resident enterprise shareholders (including our ADS holders) may be subject to a 10% PRC tax on gains realized on the sale or other disposition of ADSs or ordinary shares, if such income is treated as sourced from within the PRC. Furthermore, if PRC tax authorities determine that we are a PRC resident enterprise for enterprise income tax purposes, dividends paid to our non-PRC individual shareholders (including our ADS holders) and any gain realized on the transfer of ADSs or ordinary shares by such shareholders may be subject to PRC tax at a rate of 20% (which, in the case of dividends, may be withheld at source by us), if such dividends or gains are deemed to be from PRC sources. It is unclear whether non-PRC shareholders of Meili Inc. would be able to claim the benefits of any tax treaties between their country of tax residence and the PRC in the event that Meili Inc. is treated as a PRC resident enterprise. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Doing Business in China—If we are classified as a PRC resident enterprise for PRC income tax purposes, such classification could result in unfavorable tax consequences to us and our non-PRC shareholders or ADS holders.”

United States Federal Income Tax Considerations

The following discussion is a summary of U.S. federal income tax considerations generally applicable to the ownership and disposition of our ADSs or ordinary shares by a U.S. Holder (as defined below) that acquires our ADSs in this offering and holds our ADSs as “capital assets” (generally, property held for investment) under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code. This discussion is based upon existing U.S. federal tax law, which is subject to differing interpretations or change, possibly with retroactive effect. No ruling has been sought from the Internal Revenue Service, or the IRS, with respect to any U.S. federal income tax consequences described below, and there can be no assurance that the IRS or a court will not take a contrary position. This discussion, moreover, does not address the U.S. federal estate, gift, Medicare, and alternative minimum tax considerations, or any state, local and non-U.S. tax considerations, relating to the ownership or disposition of our ADSs or ordinary shares. The following summary does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be important to particular investors in light of their individual circumstances or to persons in special tax situations such as:

• banks and other financial institutions;

• insurance companies;

• pension plans;

• cooperatives;

• regulated investment companies;

• real estate investment trusts;

• broker-dealers;

• traders that elect to use a mark-to-market method of accounting;

• certain former U.S. citizens or long-term residents;

• tax-exempt entities (including private foundations);

• persons liable for alternative minimum tax;

174

• holders who acquire their ADSs or ordinary shares pursuant to any employee share option or otherwise as compensation;

• investors that will hold their ADSs or ordinary shares as part of a straddle, hedge, conversion, constructive sale or other integrated transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes;

• persons holding their ADSs or ordinary shares in connection with a trade or business outside the United States;

• investors that have a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar;

• persons that actually or constructively own 10% or more of our stock (by vote or value);

• persons required to accelerate the recognition of any item of gross income with respect to their ADSs or ordinary shares as a result of such income being recognized on an applicable financial statement; or

• partnerships or other entities taxable as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes, or persons holding common stock through such entities,

all of whom may be subject to tax rules that differ significantly from those discussed below.

Each U.S. Holder is urged to consult its tax advisor regarding the application of U.S. federal taxation to its particular circumstances, and the state, local, non-U.S. and other tax considerations of the ownership and disposition of our ADSs or ordinary shares.

General

For purposes of this discussion, a “U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of our ADSs or ordinary shares that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

• an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;

• a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created in, or organized under the law of the United States or any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

• an estate the income of which is includible in gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes regardless of its source; or

• a trust (A) the administration of which is subject to the primary supervision of a U.S. court and which has one or more U.S. persons who have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (B) that has otherwise validly elected to be treated as a U.S. person under the Code.

If a partnership (or other entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) is a beneficial owner of our ADSs or ordinary shares, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partnerships holding our ADSs or ordinary shares and their partners are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding an investment in our ADSs or ordinary shares.

For U.S. federal income tax purposes, it is generally expected that a U.S. Holder of ADSs will be treated as the beneficial owner of the underlying ordinary shares represented by the ADSs. The remainder of this discussion assumes that a U.S. Holder of our ADSs will be treated in this manner. Accordingly, deposits or withdrawals of ordinary shares for ADSs will generally not be subject to U.S. federal income tax.

Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations

A non-U.S. corporation, such as our company, will be a PFIC, for U.S. federal income tax purposes for any taxable year, if either (i) 75% or more of its gross income for such year consists of certain types of “passive”

175

income or (ii) 50% or more of the value of its assets (determined on the basis of a quarterly average) during such year is attributable to assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income. For this purpose, cash and assets readily convertible into cash are categorized as passive assets and the company’s goodwill and other unbooked intangibles are generally taken into account in determining the Company’s asset value. Passive income generally includes, among other things, dividends, interest, rents, royalties, and gains from the disposition of passive assets. We will be treated as owning a proportionate share of the assets and earning a proportionate share of the income of any other corporation in which we own, directly or indirectly, more than 25% (by value) of the stock.

Although the law in this regard is not entirely clear, we treat our consolidated affiliated entities as being owned by us for U.S. federal income tax purposes because we control their management decisions and are entitled to substantially all of the economic benefits associated with them. As a result, we consolidate their results of operations in our consolidated U.S. GAAP financial statements. If it were determined, however, that we are not the owner of our consolidated affiliated entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we would likely be treated as a PFIC for the current taxable year and any subsequent taxable year.

Assuming that we are the owner of our consolidated affiliated entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and based upon our current and projected income and assets, including the proceeds from this offering, and projections as to the value of our assets, we do not expect to be a PFIC for the current taxable year or the foreseeable future. However, no assurance can be given in this regard because the determination of whether we will be or become a PFIC is a factual determination made annually that will depend, in part, upon the composition of our income and assets. Fluctuations in the market price of our ADSs may cause us to be a PFIC for the current or future taxable years because the value of our assets for purposes of the asset test, including the value of our goodwill and unbooked intangibles, may be determined by reference to the market price of our ADSs from time to time (which may be volatile). If our market capitalization subsequently declines, we may be or become a PFIC for the current taxable year or future taxable years. Furthermore, the composition of our income and assets may also be affected by how, and how quickly, we use our liquid assets and the cash raised in this offering. Under circumstances where our revenue from activities that produce passive income significantly increases relative to our revenue from activities that produce non-passive income, or where we determine not to deploy significant amounts of cash for active purposes, our risk of becoming a PFIC may substantially increase.

If we are a PFIC for any year during which a U.S. Holder holds our ADSs or ordinary shares, the PFIC rules discussed below under “—Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules” generally will apply to such U.S. Holder for such taxable year, and unless the U.S. Holder makes certain elections, will apply in future years even if we cease to be a PFIC.

The discussion below under “—Dividends” and “—Sale or Other Disposition” is written on the basis that we will not be or become a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The U.S. federal income tax rules that apply generally if we are treated as a PFIC are discussed below under “—Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules.”

Dividends

Any cash distributions paid on our ADSs or ordinary shares (including the amount of any PRC tax withheld) out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles, will generally be includible in the gross income of a U.S. Holder as dividend income on the day actually or constructively received by the U.S. Holder, in the case of ordinary shares, or by the depositary, in the case of ADSs. Because we do not intend to determine our earnings and profits on the basis of U.S. federal income tax principles, any distribution we pay will generally be treated as a “dividend” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Dividends received on our ADSs or ordinary shares will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction allowed to corporations in respect of dividends received from U.S. corporations.

176

Individuals and other non-corporate U.S. Holders will be subject to tax at the lower capital gain tax rate applicable to “qualified dividend income,” provided that certain conditions are satisfied, including that (1) our ADSs or ordinary shares are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States, or, in the event that we are deemed to be a PRC resident enterprise under the PRC tax law, we are eligible for the benefit of the United States-PRC income tax treaty (the “Treaty”), (2) we are neither a PFIC nor treated as such with respect to a U.S. Holder (as discussed below) for the taxable year in which the dividend is paid and the preceding taxable year, and (3) certain holding period and other requirements are met. We intend to list our ADSs on the [Nasdaq Global Market/New York Stock Exchange]. Provided the listing is approved, we believe that our ADSs will be readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States and that we will be a qualified foreign corporation with respect to dividends paid on our ADSs. There can be no assurance that our ADSs will continue to be considered readily tradable on an established securities market in later years. Because the ordinary shares will not be listed on a U.S. exchange, dividends received with respect to ordinary shares that are not represented by ADSs may not be treated as qualified dividends. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the availability of the lower rate for dividends paid with respect to our ADSs or ordinary shares.

In the event that we are deemed to be a PRC resident enterprise under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law (see “Taxation—People’s Republic of China Taxation”), we may be eligible for the benefits of the Treaty. If we are eligible for such benefits, dividends we pay on our ordinary shares, regardless of whether such shares are represented by the ADSs, and regardless of whether our ADSs are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States, would be eligible for the reduced rates of taxation described in the preceding paragraph subject to applicable limitations described in (2) and (3) of the preceding paragraph.

For U.S. foreign tax credit purposes, dividends paid on our ADSs or ordinary shares generally will be treated as income from foreign sources and generally will constitute passive category income. In addition, subject to certain conditions and limitations, PRC withholding taxes on dividends not in excess of any applicable Treaty rate may be treated as foreign taxes eligible for credit against a U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability. A U.S. Holder who does not elect to claim a foreign tax credit for foreign tax withheld may instead claim a deduction for U.S. federal income tax purposes, in respect of such withholding, but only for a year in which such holder elects to do so for all creditable foreign income taxes. The rules governing the foreign tax credit are complex and U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the availability of the foreign tax credit under their particular circumstances.

Sale or Other Disposition

A U.S. Holder will generally recognize gain or loss upon the sale or other disposition of ADSs or ordinary shares in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized upon the disposition and the holder’s adjusted tax basis in such ADSs or ordinary shares. The gain or loss will generally the capital gain or loss. Individuals and other non-corporate U.S. Holders who have held the ADSs or ordinary shares for more than one year will generally be eligible for reduced tax rates. The deductibility of a capital loss may be subject to limitations. Any such gain or loss that the U.S. Holder recognizes will generally be treated as U.S. source income or loss for foreign tax credit limitation purposes, which will generally limit the availability of foreign tax credits. However, in the event we are deemed to be a PRC resident enterprise under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, we may be eligible for the benefits of the Treaty. In such event, if PRC tax were to be imposed on any gain from the disposition of the ADSs or ordinary shares, a U.S. Holder that is eligible for the benefits of the Treaty may elect to treat such gain as PRC source income. If a U.S. Holder is not eligible for the benefits of the income tax treaty or fails to make the election to treat any gain as foreign source, then such U.S. holder may not be able to use the foreign tax credit arising from any PRC tax imposed on the disposition of the ADSs or ordinary shares unless such credit can be applied (subject to applicable limitations) against U.S. federal income tax due on other income derived from foreign sources in the same income category (generally, the passive category). U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the creditability of any PRC tax.

177

Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules

If we are a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder holds our ADSs or ordinary shares, and unless the U.S. Holder makes a mark-to-market election (as described below), the U.S. Holder will generally be subject to special tax rules on (i) any excess distribution that we make to the U.S. Holder (which generally means any distribution paid during a taxable year to a U.S. Holder that is greater than 125 percent of the average annual distributions paid in the three preceding taxable years or, if shorter, the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the ADSs or ordinary shares), and (ii) any gain realized on the sale or other disposition of ADSs or ordinary shares. Under the PFIC rules:

• the excess distribution or gain will be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the ADSs or ordinary shares;

• the amount allocated to the current taxable year and any taxable years in the U.S. Holder’s holding period prior to the first taxable year in which we are a PFIC (each, a “pre-PFIC year”), will be taxable as ordinary income; and

• the amount allocated to each prior taxable year, other than a pre-PFIC year, will be subject to tax at the highest tax rate in effect for individuals or corporations, as appropriate, for that year, increased by an additional tax equal to the interest on the resulting tax deemed deferred with respect to each such taxable year.

If we are a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder holds our ADSs or ordinary shares and any of our subsidiaries, our consolidated affiliated entities or any of the subsidiaries of our consolidated affiliated entities is also a PFIC, such U.S. Holder would be treated as owning a proportionate amount (by value) of the shares of the lower-tier PFIC for purposes of the application of these rules. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the application of the PFIC rules to any of our subsidiaries, our consolidated affiliated entities or any of the subsidiaries of our consolidated affiliated entities.

As an alternative to the foregoing rules, a U.S. Holder of “marketable stock” (as defined below) in a PFIC may make a mark-to-market election with respect to such stock. If a U.S. Holder makes this election with respect to our ADSs, the holder will generally (i) include as ordinary income for each taxable year that we are a PFIC the excess, if any, of the fair market value of ADSs held at the end of the taxable year over the adjusted tax basis of such ADSs and (ii) deduct as an ordinary loss the excess, if any, of the adjusted tax basis of the ADSs over the fair market value of such ADSs held at the end of the taxable year, but such deduction will only be allowed to the extent of the amount previously included in income as a result of the mark-to-market election. The U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the ADSs would be adjusted to reflect any income or loss resulting from the mark-to-market election. If a U.S. Holder makes a mark-to-market election in respect of our ADSs and we cease to be a PFIC, the holder will not be required to take into account the gain or loss described above during any period that we are not a PFIC. If a U.S. Holder makes a mark-to-market election, any gain such U.S. Holder recognizes upon the sale or other disposition of our ADSs in a year when we are a PFIC will be treated as ordinary income and any loss will be treated as ordinary loss, but such loss will only be treated as ordinary loss to the extent of the net amount previously included in income as a result of the mark-to-market election.

The mark-to-market election is available only for “marketable stock,” which is stock that is traded in other than de minimis quantities on at least 15 days during each calendar quarter (“regularly traded”) on a qualified exchange or other market, as defined in applicable United States Treasury regulations. Our ADSs, but not our ordinary shares, are expected to be listed on the [New York Stock Exchange/Nasdaq Global Market], which is a qualified exchange.

Because a mark-to-market election cannot be made for any lower-tier PFICs that we may own, a U.S. Holder may continue to be subject to the PFIC rules with respect to such U.S. Holder’s indirect interest in any investments held by us that are treated as an equity interest in a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

178

We do not intend to provide information necessary for U.S. Holders to make qualified electing fund elections which, if available, would result in tax treatment different from (and generally less adverse than) the general tax treatment for PFICs described above.

If a U.S. Holder owns our ADSs or ordinary shares during any taxable year that we are a PFIC, the holder must generally file an annual IRS Form 8621. You should consult your tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of owning and disposing of our ADSs or ordinary shares if we are or become a PFIC.

179

Commission and Expenses

The underwriters have advised us that they propose to offer the ADSs to the public at the initial public offering price set forth on the cover page of this prospectus and to certain dealers, which may include the underwriters, at that price less a concession not in excess of US$                per ADS. [The underwriters may allow, and certain dealers may reallow, a discount from the concession not in excess of US$                    per ADS to certain brokers and dealers.] After the offering, the initial public offering price, concession and reallowance to dealers may be reduced by the representatives. No such reduction will change the amount of proceeds to be received by us as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus.

The following table shows the public offering price, the underwriting discounts and commissions that we [and the selling shareholders] are to pay the underwriters and the proceeds, before expenses, to us [and the selling shareholders] in connection with this offering. Such amounts are shown assuming both no exercise and full exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional ADSs.

	Per ADS		Total
	Without Option to Purchase Additional ADSs	With Option to Purchase Additional ADSs	Without Option to Purchase Additional ADSs	With Option to Purchase Additional ADSs
Public offering price	US$	US$	US$	US$
Underwriting discounts and commissions paid by us	US$	US$	US$	US$
Proceeds to us, before expenses	US$	US$	US$	US$
[Underwriting discounts and commissions paid by the selling shareholders]	US$	US$	US$	US$
[Proceeds to the selling shareholders, before expenses]	US$	US$	US$	US$

We estimate expenses payable by us in connection with this offering, other than the underwriting discounts and commissions referred to above, will be approximately US$    . [We estimate expenses payable by the selling shareholders in connection with this offering, other than the underwriting discounts and commissions referred to above, will be approximately US$    .] [We [and the selling shareholders] have also agreed to reimburse the underwriters for certain fees and expenses in connection with this offering. Such reimbursements are deemed underwriter compensation by FINRA.]

Determination of Offering Price

Prior to this offering, there has not been a public market for our ADSs. Consequently, the initial public offering price for our ADSs will be determined by negotiations between us and the representative. Among the factors to be considered in these negotiations will be prevailing market conditions, our financial information, market valuations of other companies that we and the underwriters believe to be comparable to us, estimates of our business potential, the present state of our development and other factors deemed relevant.

We offer no assurances that the initial public offering price will correspond to the price at which the ADSs will trade in the public market subsequent to the offering or that an active trading market for the ADSs will develop and continue after the offering.

181

Listing

We [intend to apply/have applied]to have the ADSs listed on the [New York Stock Exchange/Nasdaq Global Market] under the trading symbol “MEII.”

Stamp Taxes

If you purchase ADSs offered in this prospectus, you may be required to pay stamp taxes and other charges under the laws and practices of the country of purchase, in addition to the offering price listed on the cover page of this prospectus.

Lock-Up Agreements

We, [our officers, directors, existing shareholders [including selling shareholders] and holders of our equity awards] have agreed, subject to specified exceptions as described below, not to directly or indirectly during the period ending [180] days after the date of this prospectus, (i) issue, offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend or otherwise transfer or dispose of directly or indirectly, any ordinary shares or ADSs or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for such ordinary shares or ADSs or enter into a transaction which would have the same effect; (ii) enter into any swap, hedge or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the ordinary shares or ADSs; (iii) establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position in the ordinary shares or ADSs within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act; (iv) file any registration statement with the SEC relating to the offering of any ordinary shares, ADSs or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for ordinary shares or ADSs; or (v) publicly disclose the intention to make any offer, sale, pledge, disposition or filing, in each case regardless of whether any such transaction described above is to be settled by delivery of ordinary shares, ADSs, or such other securities, in cash or otherwise. The foregoing restrictions do not apply to [(a) ordinary shares or ADSs acquired in this offering, or transactions relating to ordinary shares, ADSs or other securities acquired in open market transactions after this offering, provided that, in each case, no filing under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act (or the equivalent thereof in non-U.S. jurisdictions) shall be required or shall be voluntarily made in connection with subsequent sales of ordinary shares or other securities acquired in this offering or in such open market transactions, (b) transfers of ordinary shares, ADSs or any warrant or other security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for ordinary shares or ADSs as a bona fide gift, (c) transfers by will or intestate succession to the family or to a trust of the party to the lock-up agreement, the beneficiaries of which are exclusively the individual or members of the individual’s family, or (d) pro rata distributions of ordinary shares, ADSs or any security convertible into ordinary shares or ADSs to limited partners or stockholders of the party to the lock-up agreement.]

[The underwriters] may, in their sole discretion and at any time or from time to time before the termination of the [180-day] period release all or any portion of the securities subject to lock-up agreements. There are no existing agreements between the underwriters and any of our shareholders who will execute a lock-up agreement, providing consent to the sale of ADSs prior to the expiration of the lock-up period.

Stabilization

The underwriters have advised us that they, pursuant to Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and certain persons participating in the offering may engage in short sale transactions, stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions or the imposition of penalty bids in connection with this offering. These activities may have the effect of stabilizing or maintaining the market price of the ADSs at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. Establishing short sales positions may involve either “covered” short sales or “naked” short sales.

“Covered” short sales are sales made in an amount not greater than the underwriters’ option to purchase additional ADSs in this offering. The underwriters may close out any covered short position by either exercising

182

their option to purchase additional ADSs or purchasing the ADSs in the open market. In determining the source of ADSs to close out the covered short position, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of ADSs available for purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which they may purchase ADSs through the option to purchase additional ADSs.

“Naked” short sales are sales in excess of the option to purchase additional ADSs. The underwriters must close out any naked short position by purchasing ADSs in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the ADSs in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in this offering.

A stabilizing bid is a bid for the purchase of ADSs on behalf of the underwriters for the purpose of fixing or maintaining the price of the ADSs. A syndicate covering transaction is the bid for or the purchase of ADSs on behalf of the underwriters to reduce a short position incurred by the underwriters in connection with the offering. Similar to other purchase transactions, the underwriter’s purchases to cover the syndicate short sales may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of our ADSs or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of our ADSs. As a result, the price of our ADSs may be higher than the price that might otherwise exist in the open market. A penalty bid is an arrangement permitting the underwriters to reclaim the selling concession otherwise accruing to a syndicate member in connection with the offering if the ADSs originally sold by such syndicate member are purchased in a syndicate covering transaction and therefore have not been effectively placed by such syndicate member.

None of we, [the selling shareholders] or any of the underwriters make any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of the ADSs. The underwriters are not obligated to engage in these activities and, if commenced, any of the activities may be discontinued at any time.

Discretionary Sales

The underwriters do not intend sales to discretionary accounts to exceed [five percent] of the total number of ADSs offered.

Electronic Distribution

A prospectus in electronic format may be made available by e-mail or on the websites or through online services maintained by one or more of the underwriters or their affiliates. In those cases, prospective investors may view offering terms online and may be allowed to place orders online. The underwriters may agree with us to allocate a specific number of ADSs for sale to online brokerage account holders. Any such allocation for online distributions will be made by the underwriters on the same basis as other allocations. Other than the prospectus in electronic format, the information on the underwriters’ websites and any information contained in any other website maintained by any of the underwriters is not part of this prospectus, has not been approved and/or endorsed by us or the underwriters and should not be relied upon by investors.

[Directed Share Program

At our request, the underwriters have reserved for sale at the initial public offering price up to    ADSs for employees, directors and other persons associated with us who have expressed an interest in purchasing ADSs in the offering. The number of ADSs available for sale to the general public in the offering will be reduced to the extent these persons purchase the directed ADSs in the program. Any directed ADSs not so purchased will be offered by the underwriters to the general public on the same terms as the other ADSs. Except for certain participants who have entered into lock-up agreements as contemplated above, each person buying ADSs through the directed share program has agreed that, for a period of [180] days from and including the date of this prospectus, he or she will not, without the prior written consents of the underwriters, dispose of or hedge any

183

ADSs, or securities exchangeable or exercisable for or convertible into ADSs with respect to shares purchased in the program. For those participants who have entered into lock-up agreements as contemplated above, the lock-up agreements contemplated therein shall govern with respect to their purchases of ADSs in the program. The underwriters in their sole discretion may release any of the securities subject to these lock-up agreements at any time. We have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against certain liabilities and expenses, including liabilities under the Securities Act, in connection with sales of the directed ADSs.]

Relationships

The underwriters and certain of their affiliates are full service financial institutions engaged in various activities, which may include securities trading, commercial and investment banking, financial advisory, investment management, investment research, principal investment, hedging, financing and brokerage activities. The underwriters and certain of their affiliates have, from time to time, performed, and may in the future perform, various commercial and investment banking and financial advisory services for us and our affiliates, for which they received or will receive customary fees and expenses.

In the ordinary course of their various business activities, the underwriters and certain of their affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers, and such investment and securities activities may involve securities and/or instruments issued by us and our affiliates. If the underwriters or their respective affiliates have a lending relationship with us, they routinely hedge their credit exposure to us consistent with their customary risk management policies. The underwriters and their respective affiliates may hedge such exposure by entering into transactions which consist of either the purchase of credit default swaps or the creation of short positions in our securities or the securities of our affiliates, including potentially the ADSs offered hereby. Any such short positions could adversely affect future trading prices of the ADSs offered hereby. The underwriters and certain of their respective affiliates may also communicate independent investment recommendations, market color or trading ideas and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or instruments and may at any time hold, or recommend to clients that they acquire, long and/or short positions in such securities and instruments.

Selling Restrictions

No action has been taken in any jurisdiction (except in the United States) that would permit a public offering of the ADSs, or the possession, circulation or distribution of this prospectus or any other material relating to us or the ADSs in any jurisdiction where action for that purpose is required. Accordingly, the ADSs may not be offered or sold, directly or indirectly, and neither this prospectus nor any other material or advertisements in connection with the ADSs may be distributed or published, in or from any country or jurisdiction except in compliance with any applicable laws, rules and regulations of any such country or jurisdiction.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Meili Inc.:

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Meili Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2018 and 2017, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, of changes in shareholders’ deficit and of cash flows for the years then ended, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

1 ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

(a) Principle activities

Meili Inc. (the “Company”), formerly known as Mogu Holdings Limited, was incorporated as an exempted company registered under the Companies Law of the Cayman Islands on June 9, 2011 with limited liability.

In June 2011, Meili Group Limited, formerly known as MOGU (HK) Limited, was established by the Company in Hong Kong. In November 2011, Meili Group Limited established a wholly-owned PRC subsidiary, Hangzhou Shiqu Information and Technology Co., Ltd. (“Hangzhou Shiqu”). In the same month, the Company obtained control over Hangzhou Juangua Network Co., Ltd. (“Hangzhou Juangua”) through Hangzhou Shiqu by entering into a series of contractual agreements with Hangzhou Juangua and its shareholders. The Company obtained effective control of Aimei Tech Holdings Limited (“Aimei”) and Meiliworks Limited (“Meiliworks”) through a series of transactions in January and February 2016, respectively (Note 3).

The Company, through its subsidiaries, consolidated variable interest entities (“VIEs”) and VIE’s subsidiaries (collectively, the “Group”), operates online platform that primarily offers to its users a wide selection of fashion apparel and other products provided by third party merchants in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) through mobile apps, including flagship Mogujie app, mini-programs on Weixin, Weixin pay and QQ Wallet entryways, and Mogujie.com and Meilishuo.com websites. The Group also provides online marketing, commission, financing and other relevant services to merchants and users.

The Group’s consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, its subsidiaries, consolidated VIEs and VIE’s subsidiaries.

(b) Consolidated variable interest entities

In order to comply with PRC regulatory requirements restricting foreign ownership of internet information services under value-added telecommunications services and certain other businesses in China, the Group operates online platforms that provide internet information services and engages in other foreign-ownership-restricted businesses through certain PRC domestic companies, whose equity interests are held by certain management members of the Group (“Nominee Shareholders”). The Group obtained control over these PRC domestic companies by entering into a series of contractual agreements with these PRC domestic companies and their respective Nominee Shareholders (“Contractual Agreements”). These Contractual Agreements cannot be terminated by the Nominee Shareholders or the PRC domestic companies. As a result, the Group maintains the ability to control these PRC domestic companies and is entitled to substantially all of the economic benefits from these PRC domestic companies and is obligated to absorb expected losses of these PRC domestic companies. Management concluded that these PRC domestic companies are consolidated VIEs of the Group, of which the Company is the ultimate primary beneficiary. As such, the Group consolidated the financial results of these PRC domestic companies and their subsidiaries. Refer to Note 2(b) to the consolidated financial statements for the principles of consolidation.

The principal terms of the agreements entered into amongst the consolidated VIEs, their respective shareholders and the Group’s subsidiaries are further described below.

Loan Agreements

Pursuant to the relevant loan agreements, the Group relevant PRC subsidiaries made loans to the Nominee Shareholders for the sole purpose of making capital contributions to the consolidated VIEs. The Nominee Shareholders can only repay the loans by the sale of all their equity interests in the consolidated VIEs to the Group’s relevant PRC subsidiaries or their designated person pursuant to the exclusive option agreements, and, to the extent permitted under PRC law, pay all of the proceeds from sale of such equity interests to the Group’s relevant PRC subsidiaries. In the event that the Nominee Shareholders sells their equity interests in the consolidated VIEs to the Group’s relevant PRC subsidiaries or their designated person at a price equal to or less than the principal amount of the loans, the loans will be interest free. If the price is higher than the principal amount of the loans, the excess amount will be deemed as interest on the loans paid to the Group’s relevant PRC subsidiaries. The term of the loans agreements are 20 years from the date of the loan agreements, which may be extended upon mutual agreement.

On July 18, 2018, Hangzhou Shiqu and each of Mr. Qi Chen, Mr. Yibo Wei and Mr. Xuqiang Yue, each a shareholder of Hangzhou Juangua, entered into an amended and restated loan agreement in the principal amount of RMB5,867, RMB2,362 and RMB1,771, respectively, which contained terms substantially similar to the loan agreements described above.

Exclusive Consultation and Service Agreements

Pursuant to the exclusive consultation and service agreements, the Group’s relevant PRC subsidiaries has the exclusive right to provide the consolidated VIEs with technical and consulting services. Without the Group’s relevant PRC subsidiaries’ prior written consent, the consolidated VIEs may not accept any services subject to these agreements from any third party. The consolidated VIEs agree to pay the Group’s relevant PRC subsidiaries a quarterly service fee at an amount that is equal to the consolidated VIEs’ revenue for the relevant quarter after deducting any applicable taxes, cost of revenues and retained earnings (which should be zero unless the Group’s relevant PRC subsidiaries otherwise agrees in writing) or an amount adjusted at the Group’s relevant PRC subsidiaries’ sole discretion for the relevant quarter, which should be paid within 10 business days after the consolidated VIEs confirms in writing the amount and breakdown of the service fee for the relevant quarter. The Group’s relevant PRC subsidiaries have the exclusive ownership of all the intellectual property rights created as a result of the performance of the agreements. To guarantee the consolidated VIEs’ performance of their obligations under the agreements, the Nominee Shareholders of the consolidated VIEs have pledged their entire equity interests in the consolidated VIEs to the Group’s relevant PRC subsidiaries pursuant to the equity interest pledge agreements. The agreements have a term of 10 years, which will be automatically renewed upon expiration, unless they are otherwise terminated in accordance with the provisions of the agreements.

F-9

Exclusive Purchase Option Agreements

Pursuant to the exclusive option agreements, each of the Nominee Shareholders of the consolidated VIEs has irrevocably granted the Group’s relevant PRC subsidiaries exclusive option to purchase all or part of their equity interests in the consolidated VIEs. The Group’s relevant PRC subsidiaries or their designated person may exercise such option at the lowest price permitted under applicable PRC law. The Nominee Shareholders of the consolidated VIEs covenant that, without the Group’s relevant PRC subsidiaries’ prior written consent, they will not, among other things, (i) create any pledge or encumbrance on their equity interests in the consolidated VIEs; (ii) transfer or otherwise dispose of their equity interests in the consolidated VIEs; (iii) change the consolidated VIEs’ registered capital; (iv) amend the consolidated VIEs’ articles of association in any material respect; (v) dispose of or cause the consolidated VIEs’ management to dispose of the consolidated VIEs’ material assets (except in the ordinary course of business); (vi) cause the consolidated VIEs to enter into transactions that are likely to have a material impact on its assets, liabilities, operations, shareholding structure or equity ownership in other entities; (vii) change the consolidated VIEs’ directors and supervisors; (viii) declare or distribute dividends; (ix) terminate, liquidate or dissolve the consolidated VIEs; or (x) allow the consolidated VIEs to extend or borrow loans, provide any form of guarantee, or assume any material obligations except in the ordinary course of business. In addition, the consolidated VIEs covenant that, without the Group’s relevant PRC subsidiaries’ prior written consents, they will not, among other things, create or assist or allow their Nominee Shareholders to create, any pledge or encumbrance on their assets and equity interests, or transfer or otherwise dispose of their assets (except in the ordinary course of business). The exclusive option agreements will remain effective until the entire equity interests in the consolidated VIEs have been transferred to the Group’s relevant PRC subsidiaries or their designated person.

Shareholder Voting Proxy Agreements and Powers of Attorney

Pursuant to the shareholder voting proxy agreements, each of the Nominee Shareholders of the consolidated VIEs has executed a power of attorney, to irrevocably authorize an individual, as designated by the Group’s relevant PRC subsidiaries, to act as his attorney-in-fact to exercise all of his rights as a shareholder of the consolidated VIEs, including, but not limited to the right to convene and attend shareholders’ meetings, vote on any resolution that requires a shareholder vote, such as the appointment and removal of directors, supervisors and officers, as well as the sale, transfer and disposal of all or part of the equity interests owned by such shareholder. The powers of attorney will remain effective until the shareholder voting proxy agreements are terminated in accordance with the provisions of the agreements.

Equity Interest Pledge Agreements

Pursuant to the equity interest pledge agreements, the Nominee Shareholders of the consolidated VIEs have pledged 100% equity interests in the consolidated VIEs to the Group’s relevant PRC subsidiaries to guarantee performance by the Nominee Shareholders of their obligations under the exclusive option agreements, the shareholder voting proxy agreement, as well as the performance by the consolidated VIEs of their obligations under the exclusive option agreements and the exclusive consultation and service agreements. All of the equity interest pledge agreements shall remain valid until the full performance of such guaranteed contractual obligations. In the event of a breach by the consolidated VIEs or any of their Nominee Shareholders of contractual obligations under the exclusive option agreements, the shareholder voting proxy agreements, the exclusive consultation and service agreements and the equity interest pledge agreements, as the case may be, the Group’s relevant PRC subsidiaries, as pledgee, will have the right to dispose of the pledged equity interests in the consolidated VIEs and will have priority in receiving the proceeds from such disposal. The Nominee Shareholders of the consolidated VIEs also covenant that, without the prior written consent of the Group’s relevant PRC subsidiaries, they will not dispose of, create or allow any encumbrance on the pledged equity interests. The consolidated VIEs covenant that, without the prior written consent of the Group’s relevant PRC subsidiaries, it will not assist or allow any encumbrance to be created on the pledged equity interests.

Under the Contractual Agreements with the consolidated VIEs, the Company has the power to direct activities of the consolidated VIEs and VIEs’ subsidiaries through the Group’s relevant PRC subsidiaries, and

F-11

can have assets transferred freely out of the consolidated VIEs and VIEs’ subsidiaries without restrictions. Therefore, the Company considers that there is no asset of the consolidated VIEs that can only be used to settle obligations of the respective consolidated VIEs, except for the registered capital of the consolidated VIEs amounting to RMB14,050 as of March 31, 2018. Since the consolidated VIEs and VIEs’ subsidiaries are incorporated as limited liability companies under the PRC Law, creditors of the consolidated VIEs and VIEs’ subsidiaries do not have recourse to the general credit of the Company.

The Group believes that the Group’s relevant PRC subsidiaries’ Contractual Arrangements with the consolidated VIEs and the Nominee Shareholders are in compliance with PRC laws and regulations, as applicable, and are legally binding and enforceable. However, uncertainties in the PRC legal system could limit the Company’s ability to enforce these contractual arrangements.

In addition, if the current structure or any of the contractual arrangements were found to be in violation of any existing or future PRC law, the Company may be subject to penalties, which may include but not be limited to, the cancellation or revocation of the Company’s business and operating licenses, being required to restructure the Company’s operations or terminate the Company’s operating activities. The imposition of any of these or other penalties may result in a material and adverse effect on the Company’s ability to conduct its operations. In such case, the Company may not be able to operate or control the VIEs, which may result in deconsolidation of the VIEs.

2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Basis of presentation and consolidation

The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Significant accounting policies followed by the Group in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements are summarized below.

(b) Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, its subsidiaries, the consolidated VIEs and VIEs’ subsidiaries for which the Company is the ultimate primary beneficiary.

Subsidiaries are those entities in which the Company, directly or indirectly, controls more than one half of the voting power; or has the power to govern the financial and operating policies, to appoint or remove the majority of the members of the board of directors, or to cast a majority of votes at the meeting of directors.

A VIE is an entity in which the Company, or its subsidiaries, through Contractual Agreements, bears the risks of, and enjoys the rewards normally associated with, ownership of the entity, and therefore the Company or its subsidiaries are the primary beneficiary of the entity.

All transactions and balances among the Company, its subsidiaries, the consolidated VIEs and VIEs’ subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation.

(c) Business combination and non-controlling interests

The Company accounts for its business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805 “Business Combinations.” The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the acquisition date fair values of the assets transferred and liabilities incurred by the Company to the sellers and equity instruments issued. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets and liabilities acquired or assumed are measured

F-12

separately at their fair values as of the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any non-controlling interests. The excess of (i) the total costs of acquisition, fair value of the non-controlling interests and acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest in the acquiree over (ii) the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the acquiree is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized directly in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. During the measurement period, which can be up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the values of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

In a business combination achieved in stages, the Company re-measures the previously held equity interest in the acquiree immediately before obtaining control at its acquisition-date fair value and the re-measurement gain or loss, if any, is recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

When there is a change in ownership interests or a change in contractual arrangements that results in a loss of control of a subsidiary or consolidated VIE, the Company deconsolidates the subsidiary or consolidated VIE from the date control is lost. Any retained non-controlling investment in the former subsidiary or consolidated VIE is measured at fair value and is included in the calculation of the gain or loss upon deconsolidation of the subsidiary or consolidated VIE.

For the Company’s majority-owned subsidiaries, consolidated VIEs and VIEs’ subsidiaries, non-controlling interests are recognized to reflect the portion of their equity that is not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Company as the controlling shareholder. Non-controlling interests are classified as a separate line item in the equity section of the Group’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and have been separately disclosed in the Group’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss to distinguish the interests from that of the Company.

(d) Use of estimates

The preparation of the 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, related disclosures of contingent liabilities at the balance sheet date, and the reported revenues and expenses during the reported period in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant accounting estimates are used for, but not limited to, refund of commission due to sales return, volume refund of commission, the valuation and recognition of share-based compensation arrangements, fair value of assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations and available-for-sale investments, assessment for impairment of long-lived assets, intangible assets and goodwill and useful lives of intangible assets. Actual results may differ materially from those estimates.

(e) Foreign currency translation

The Group’s reporting currency is Renminbi (“RMB”). The functional currency of the Group’s entities incorporated in Cayman Islands and Hong Kong, China (“HK”) is the United States dollars (“US$”). The Group’s PRC subsidiaries, consolidated VIEs and VIEs’ subsidiaries determined their functional currency to be RMB. The determination of the respective functional currency is based on the criteria of ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters.

Transactions denominated in currencies other than functional currency are translated into functional currency at the exchange rates quoted by authoritative banks prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Exchange gains and losses resulting from those foreign currency transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are recorded as a component of Other (expense)/income, net in the Consolidated Statements

F-13

of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. Total exchange gains/(losses) were a loss of RMB7,892 and a gain of RMB8,805 for the years ended March 31, 2017 and 2018, respectively.

The financial statements of the Group are translated from the functional currency into RMB. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies 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, gains and losses are translated into RMB using the periodic average exchange rates. The resulting foreign currency translation adjustments are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) as a component of shareholders’ equity. Total foreign currency translation adjustments to the Group’s other comprehensive income/(loss) were a gain of RMB96,010 and a loss of RMB81,141 for the years ended March 31, 2017 and 2018, respectively.

(f) Convenience translation

Translations of the Consolidated Balance Sheets, the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss and the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows from RMB into US$ as of and for the year ended March 31, 2018 are solely for the convenience of the readers and were calculated at the rate of US$1.00=RMB6.6171, representing the noon buying rate set forth in the H.10 statistical release of the U.S. Federal Reserve Board on June 29, 2018. No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted, realized or settled into US$ at that rate on March 31, 2018, or at any other rate.

(g) Fair value measurement

Financial instruments

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 measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Group considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.

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 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

• Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical asset or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.

• Level 3 applies to asset or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

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. 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.

F-14

The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, loan receivables, prepayments and other current assets, amounts due from related parties, accounts payable, amounts due to related parties and accruals and other current liabilities. The carrying amounts of loan receivables, prepayments and other current assets, accounts payable and accruals and other current liabilities approximate their fair value due to their relatively short maturity.

(h) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, time deposits as well as highly liquid investments, which have original maturities of three months or less and are readily convertible to known amount of cash.

(i) Restricted cash

Cash that is restricted as to withdrawal or for use or pledged as security is reported separately on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Group’s restricted cash mainly represents deposits held in designated bank accounts as security for payment processing. The restricted cash with the collection period within one year are classified as current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

(j) Short-term investments

Short-term investments are comprised of time deposits placed with banks with original maturities longer than three months but less than one year, and investments in wealth management products issued by banks or other financial institutions, which contain a fixed or variable interest rate and with original maturities within one year. Such investments are generally not permitted to be redeemed early or are subject to penalties for redemption prior to maturity. These investments are stated at fair value. Changes in the fair value are reflected in the Consolidation Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

(k) Loan receivables, net

Loan receivables represent the funds extended by the Group to qualified merchants and users through its factoring arrangements. The loan periods generally range from 1 month to 12 months. The loan receivables are initially measured at amortized cost.

The Group considers many factors in assessing the collectability of its loan receivable, such as the age of the amounts due, the payment history, creditworthiness and financial conditions of the borrowers, to determine the allowance percentage of the overdue balances. The Group adjusts the allowance balance periodically when there are significant differences between estimated and actual bad debts. An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded in the period in which a loss is determined probable.

The loan receivables reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at outstanding principal net of allowance for doubtful accounts. The accrued interests are also included in the loan receivable balance.

If the loan receivable with allowance for doubtful accounts is subsequently collected, the previously recognized allowance for doubtful accounts is reversed. The amount of reversal is recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

(l) Inventories, net

Inventories, consisting of products available for sale, are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost of inventory is determined using the weighted average cost method. Adjustments are recorded to write down the cost of inventory to the estimated net realizable value due to slow-moving merchandise and damaged goods, which is dependent upon factors such as historical and forecasted consumer demand, and promotional

F-15

environment. The Group takes ownership, risks and rewards of the products purchased. Write downs of RMB2,040 and RMB2,202 are recorded in cost of revenues in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for the years ended March 31, 2017 and 2018, respectively.

(m) Property, equipment and software, net

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

Electronic equipment	3 years
Furniture and office equipment	5 years
Computer software	3-10 years
Vehicles	5 years
Leasehold improvements	Shorter of the expected use life or the lease term

Repairs and maintenance costs are charged to expenses as incurred. Retirements, sales and disposals of assets are recorded by removing the costs, accumulated depreciation and impairment with any resulting gain or loss recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

(n) Intangible assets, net

Intangible assets purchased from third parties are initially recorded at cost. The Group performs valuation of the intangible assets arising from business combination to determine the relative fair value to be assigned to each asset acquired. The intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line approach over the estimated economic useful lives of the assets.

The estimated useful lives of intangible assets are as follows:

Domain name	10 years
Insurance agency license	20 years
Buyer and customer relationship	2 years
Brand	2-8 years
Technology	2-3 years
Business cooperation agreement	3 years

(o) Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination.

Goodwill is not depreciated or amortized but is tested for impairment on an annual basis as of March 31, and in between annual tests when an event occurs or circumstances change that could indicate that the asset might be impaired. In accordance with the FASB guidance on “Testing of Goodwill for Impairment,” a company first has the option to assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If the company decides, as a result of its qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the quantitative impairment test is mandatory. Otherwise, no further testing is required. The quantitative impairment test consists of a comparison of the fair value of each reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the carrying amount of each reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss equal to the difference between the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill and the carrying amount of goodwill will be recorded. Application of a goodwill impairment test requires significant management judgment,

F-16

including the identification of reporting units, assigning assets and liabilities to reporting units, assigning goodwill to reporting units, and determining the fair value of each reporting unit. The judgment in estimating the fair value of reporting units includes estimating future cash flows, determining appropriate discount rates and making other assumptions. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value for each reporting unit.

(p) Investments

The Group’s investments include equity method investment and available-for-sale investments.

The Group has investments in privately held companies. The Group applies the equity method of accounting to account for an equity investment, in common stock or in-substance common stock, according to ASC 323 “Investment—Equity Method and Joint Ventures”, over which it has significant influence but does not own a majority equity interest or otherwise control.

An investment in in-substance common stock is an investment in an entity that has risk and reward characteristics that are substantially similar to that entity’s common stock. The Group considers subordination, risks and rewards of ownership and obligation to transfer value when determining whether an investment in an entity is substantially similar to an investment in that entity’s common stock.

Under the equity method, the Group’s share of the post-acquisition profits or losses of the equity investee are recorded in share of results of equity investee in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss and its share at post-acquisition movements in accumulated other comprehensive income in relation to foreign currency translation adjustment is recognized in shareholders’ equity. The excess of the carrying amount of the investment over the underlying equity in net assets of the equity investee represents goodwill and intangible assets acquired. When the Group’s share of losses in the equity investee equals or exceeds its interest in the equity investee, the Group does not recognize further losses, unless the Group has incurred obligations or made payments or guarantees on behalf of the equity investee.

For other equity investments that are not considered as debt securities or equity securities that have readily determinable fair values and over which the Group has neither significant influence nor control through investments in common stock or in-substance common stock, the cost method of accounting is used. Under the cost method, investments are carried at cost and are adjusted only for other than-temporary declines in fair value, certain distributions, and additional investments.

Investments in debt securities and equity securities that have readily determinable fair value are accounted for as available-for-sale securities, and are recognized based on trade date and carried at estimated fair value with the aggregate unrealized gains and losses related to these investments, net of taxes, reported through other comprehensive income. Realized gains or losses are charged to earnings during the period in which the gains or losses are realized. Gain or losses are realized when such investments are sold or when dividends are declared or payments are received or when other than temporarily impaired.

Currently, the maturities for debt securities the Group held are longer than 12 months and the Company does not expect to convert securities to cash within one year.

The Group continually reviews its investments to determine whether a decline in fair value to below the carrying value is other-than-temporary. The primary factors the Group considers in its determination are the duration and severity of the decline in fair value; the financial condition, operating performance and the prospects of the equity investee; and other company specific information such as recent financing rounds. If the decline in fair value is deemed to be other-than-temporary, the carrying value of the investment is written down to fair value.

(q) 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

F-17

carrying value of an asset may not be fully recoverable or that the useful life is shorter than 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 assets and their eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected future undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value of the assets, the Group recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying value of the assets over the fair value of the assets.

(r) Advance from customers

Advance from customers represent the commission revenue received before users’ acceptance of products.

(s) Revenue recognition

The Group adopted ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” for all periods presented. Consistent with the criteria of Topic 606, the Group recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services.

To achieve that core principle, the Group applies five steps defined under Topic 606. The Group assesses its revenue arrangements against specific criteria in order to determine if it is acting as principal or agent. Revenue arrangements with multiple performance obligations are divided into separate units of accounting. The Group allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation based on the relative standalone selling price of the goods or services provided. Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised goods or services to a customer.

Revenue is recorded net of value-added-tax.

Revenue recognition policies for each type of revenue stream are analyzed as follows:

Marketing services revenues

The Group provides marketing services to merchants and brand partners that help them promote their products in designated areas on the Group’s platform directly or via social network platforms over particular periods of time that will then divert users back to the Group’s platform. Such service revenues are charged at fixed prices or at prices established through the Group’s online auction system. In general, merchants and brand partners need to prepay for the marketing services. Revenue is recognized ratably over the period during which the content is displayed, or when the content or offerings are clicked or viewed, or when an underlying sales transaction is completed by a merchant.

Commission revenues

The Group operates its online platform as a marketplace for merchants to sell their merchandise to the users and also provides integrated platform-wide services. When the transactions are completed on the Group’s platform, the Group charges merchants commissions at their respective agreed percentage of the amount of merchandise sold by merchants. The Group identifies that arranging for the provision of products by merchants for each successful transaction and provision of integrated services are separate performance obligations. The Group applies the practical expedient that allocates the commission revenues for the integrated services to the respective day on which the Group has the right to invoice. The Group does not control the underlying merchandise provided by merchants before they are transferred to users, as the Group is not responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the merchandise to users and has no inventory risk before the merchandise are transferred to the users or after the control is transferred to the users. In addition, the Group has no discretion in establishing prices of the merchandise provided by merchants. Commission revenues are recognized on a net basis at the point of users’ acceptance of merchandise.

Commission fees are refundable if and when users return the merchandise to merchants and the refund is recognized as variable consideration. The Group determines the amount of consideration to which the Group

F-18

expects to be entitled subject to constraint that it is probable that a significant reversal in the cumulative amount of revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty is resolved. The Group recognizes the amounts received for which the Group does not expect to be entitled as a refund liability when it transfers service to merchants. At the end of each reporting period, the Group updates its assessment of amounts for which it expects to be entitled in exchange for the transferred services and makes a corresponding change to the amount of commission revenue recognized.

The Group also offers volume refund to the merchants based on the accumulative sales amount they generate in the Group’s marketplace during a certain period. Within a certain period, should the total sales amount generated by a merchant reaches a pre-agreed threshold, the merchant is entitled to a certain percentage of the commission paid to the Group as a refund. The Group identifies the volume refund as a performance obligation and recognizes it at its standalone selling price as contract liabilities. The amount of contract liabilities involves an estimation of the merchant’s sales amount during a certain period and the related percentage to calculate the volume refund. Such estimation is reassessed and adjusted at the end of each reporting period.

Other revenues

Other revenues are mainly comprised of the revenues from financing solutions, online direct sales and other services.

Financing solutions include loans to users and merchants through factoring arrangements. The Group extends loans to users by purchasing merchants’ receivables from respective users without recourse and charges a service fee to users based on the principal and repayment terms. The Group also extends loans to merchants by purchasing their accounts receivables from users with recourse and charges a service fee to merchants based on the principal. The Group records loan receivables when the cash is advanced to the users or merchants. The service fees are recognized over the term of loans.

Financing solutions also include the services to facilitate the financial institutions to provide loans to merchants and users through the Group’s online platform and services to manage repayments. The service fees are charged to the borrowers based on agreed rates of the principal and are allocated to facilitation service and repayment management service in the same transaction based on the relative standalone selling price of each. Revenue is recognized when the fund is drawn down by the borrowers for the facilitation service or over the financing period on a straight-line basis for the repayment management service.

The Group also sells certain merchandise products through online direct sales. The Group recognizes the product revenues from the online direct sales on a gross basis as the Group is primarily obligated in these transactions, is subject to inventory risk, has latitude in establishing prices and selecting suppliers, or has met several but not all of these indicators. The Group recognizes online direct sales revenue net of discounts and return allowance when the merchandise products are delivered and control passes to users. Return allowances, which reduce net revenues, are estimated based on historical experiences.

Other services primarily comprise (i) technology development, support and consulting services to related parties and third parties, (ii) service fees received from insurance companies, and (iii) logistic services to merchants. Revenue is recognized when the services are rendered.

Remaining performance obligations

Revenue allocated to remaining performance obligations represents that portion of the overall transaction price that has been received (or for which the Group has an unconditional right to payment) allocated to performance obligations that the Group has not yet fulfilled, which is presented as deferred revenue that has not yet been recognized. As of March 31, 2018, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was RMB7,134, which were expected to be recognized as revenue in 12 months.

F-19

(t) Customer incentives

In order to promote its online platform and attract more registered users, from time to time, the Group at its own discretion issues vouchers in various forms to users as customer incentives without any concurrent transactions in place or any substantive action needed from the recipient. These vouchers can be used in purchase of goods in a broad range of merchants as an immediate discount of their next purchase, some of which can only be used when the purchase amount exceeds pre-defined threshold. As the users are required to make future purchases of the merchants’ merchandises to redeem the vouchers, the Group recognizes the amounts of redeemed vouchers as marketing expenses when future purchases are made. During the years ended March 31, 2017 and 2018, the Group recorded marketing expenses related to the vouchers of RMB101,919 and RMB249,993, respectively.

(u) Cost of revenue

Cost of revenue comprises primarily of payroll costs including share-based compensation expenses, server storage expenses, payment handling costs, depreciation expenses, rental expenses, warehousing and logistic expenses and other costs.

(v) Sales and marketing expenses

Sales and marketing expenses comprise primarily of promotion expenses, payroll costs including share-based compensation expenses, depreciation expenses and other daily expenses which are related to the sales and marketing departments.

(w) Research and development expenses

Research and development expenses are expensed as incurred and primarily consist of staff costs including share-based compensation expenses, rental expenses and other expenses. The Company expenses all costs that are incurred in connection with the planning and implementation phases of development and costs that are associated with repair or maintenance of the existing websites or the development of software and website content. Costs incurred in the development phase are capitalized and amortized over the estimated product life. However, the amount of costs qualifying for capitalization has been insignificant and as a result, all website and software development costs have been expensed in “Research and development expenses” as incurred.

(x) General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses consist of staff costs including share-based compensation expenses and related expenses for employees involved in general corporate functions, including accounting, finance, tax, legal and human relations; and costs associated with use by these functions of facilities and equipment, such as depreciation expenses, rental and other general corporate related expenses.

(y) Government grants

Government grants represent cash subsidies received from PRC government. Cash subsidies which have no defined rules and regulations to govern the criteria necessary for companies to enjoy the benefits are recognized as other income when received. Total government grants received were RMB9,236 and RMB2,646 for the years ended March 31, 2017 and 2018, respectively.

(z) Operating leases

Leases where substantially all the rewards and risks of ownership of assets remain with the lessor are accounted for as operating leases. The Group leases office space under operating lease agreements with initial

F-20

lease term up to three years. Rental expense is recognized from the date of initial possession of the leased property on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Certain lease agreements contain rent holidays, which are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease renewal periods are considered on a lease-by-lease basis and are generally not included in the initial lease terms.

The Group has no capital leases during the periods presented.

(aa) Share-based compensation

The Company grants restricted share units (“RSUs”) and share options of the Company to eligible employees, non-employee consultants and accounts for these share-based awards in accordance with ASC 718 Compensation — Stock Compensation and ASC 505-50 Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees.

Employees’ share-based awards are measured at the grant date fair value of the awards and recognized as expenses a) immediately at grant date if no vesting conditions are required; or b) using the straight-line method, net of actual forfeitures, over the requisite service period, which is the vesting period.

All transactions in which goods or services are received in exchange for equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.

Non-employees’ share-based awards are measured at fair value at the earlier of the commitment date or the date the services are completed. Awards granted to non-employees are re-measured at each reporting date using the fair value as at each period end until the measurement date, generally when the services are completed and awards are vested. Changes in fair value between the reporting dates are recognized using the straight-line method.

The fair value of the RSUs was assessed using the income approach/discounted cash flow method, with a discount for lack of marketability given that the shares underlying the awards were not publicly traded at the time of grant. This assessment required complex and subjective judgments regarding the Company’s projected financial and operating results, its unique business risks, the liquidity of its ordinary shares and its operating history and prospects at the time the grants were made.

In addition, the binomial option-pricing model is used to measure the value of share options. The determination of the fair value of share options 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 with the assistance from an independent valuation firm using management’s estimates and assumptions.

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, and subsequent events are not indicative of the reasonableness of the original estimates of fair value made by the Company for accounting purposes.

In accordance with ASU 2016-09, the Group makes an entity-wide accounting policy election to account for forfeitures when they occur.

F-21

(bb) 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 and VIEs 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. The total amounts for such employee benefit expenses, which were expensed as incurred, were approximately RMB144,059 and RMB101,615 for the years ended March 31, 2017 and 2018, respectively.

(cc) Taxation

Income taxes

Current income taxes are provided on the basis of income/(loss) for financial reporting purposes, adjusted for income and expense items which are not assessable or deductible for income tax purposes, in accordance with the regulations of the relevant tax jurisdictions. Deferred income taxes are provided using the liability method. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of temporary differences by applying enacted statutory rates applicable to future years to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities. The tax base of an asset or liability is the amount attributed to that asset or liability for tax purposes. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss in the period of change. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the amount of deferred tax assets if it is considered more likely than not that some portion of, or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred income taxes are classified as non-current in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Uncertain tax positions

The Group recognizes a tax benefit associated with an uncertain tax position when, in its judgment, it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority. For a tax position that meets the-more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the Group initially and subsequently measures the tax benefit as the largest amount that the Group judges to have a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority. The Group’s liability associated with unrecognized tax benefits is adjusted periodically due to changing circumstances, such as the progress of tax audits, case law developments and new or emerging legislation. Such adjustments are recognized entirely in the period in which they are identified. The Group’s effective tax rate includes the net impact of changes in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits and subsequent adjustments as considered appropriate by management. The Group classifies interest and penalties recognized on the liability for unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. As of March 31, 2017 and 2018, the Group did not have any significant unrecognized uncertain tax positions.

(dd) Statutory reserves

In accordance with China’s Company Laws, the Company’s consolidated VIEs and VIEs’ subsidiaries in PRC must make appropriations from their after-tax profit (as determined under the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises as promulgated by the Ministry of Finance of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC GAAP”)) to non-distributable reserve funds including (i) statutory surplus fund and (ii) discretionary surplus fund. The appropriation to the statutory surplus fund must be at least 10% of the after-tax profits calculated in accordance with PRC GAAP. Appropriation is not required if the statutory surplus fund has reached 50% of the registered capital of the respective company. Appropriation to the discretionary surplus fund is made at the discretion of the respective company.

Pursuant to the laws applicable to China’s Foreign Investment Enterprises, the Company’s subsidiary that is a foreign investment enterprise in China have to make appropriations from their after-tax profit (as determined

F-22

under PRC GAAP) to reserve funds including (i) general reserve fund, (ii) enterprise expansion fund and (iii) staff bonus and welfare fund. The appropriation to the general reserve fund must be at least 10% of the after tax profits calculated in accordance with PRC GAAP. Appropriation is not required if the general reserve fund has reached 50% of the registered capital of the respective company. Appropriations to the other two reserve funds are at the respective companies’ discretion.

The Group has made RMB773 and RMB1,067 appropriations to statutory surplus fund and other reserve funds for Hangzhou Juandou and Shanghai Shiqu for the year ended March 31, 2017 and 2018, respectively. The Company’s other subsidiaries and consolidated VIEs and VIEs’ subsidiaries in China were in accumulated loss position.

(ee) 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 Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. As such adjustments relate to subsidiaries for which the functional currency is not RMB and which do not incur income tax obligations, there are no tax adjustments to arrive at other comprehensive income/(loss) on a net of tax basis.

(ff) Net income/(loss) per share

Basic net income/(loss) per share is computed by dividing net income/(loss) attributable to holders of ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income/(loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income/(loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders, by the weighted average number of ordinary and dilutive ordinary equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Ordinary equivalent shares consist of ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding share options using the treasury stock method. Ordinary equivalent shares are not included in the denominator of the diluted earnings per share calculation when inclusion of such shares would be anti-dilutive.

(gg) Segment reporting

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise engaging in businesses activities for which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by the Group’s chief operating decision makers (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Group’s CODM has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer.

Prior to December 2016, the Group had two operating segments of cross-border business and domestic business.

In December 2016, the business of Aimei was terminated primarily because the Group decided to sharpen its focus on its current business model, and to a lesser extent, the operating conditions of the business. As a result, the intangible assets and goodwill of the cross-border segment were fully impaired (Note 13 and 14). After that, the Group’s CODM only reviews consolidated results including revenue and operating loss at a consolidated level only. This resulted in only one operating and reportable segment left in the Group.

The Group’s long-lived assets are substantially all located in the PRC and substantially all the Group’s revenues are derived from within the PRC, therefore, no geographical segments are presented.

(hh) Recent accounting pronouncements

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01 Financial Instruments—Overall (Subtopic 825-10) “Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. The amendments in this ASU

F-23

require all equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in the fair value recognized through non-operating income (other than those accounted for under equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee). The amendments in this accounting standard update also require an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments. In addition, the amendments in this accounting standard update eliminate the requirement to disclose the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost for entities that are not public business entities and the requirement to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet for public business entities. For public business entities that are U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filers, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities including not-for-profit entities and employee benefit plans within the scope of Topics 960 through 965 on plan accounting, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. All entities that are not public business entities may adopt the amendments in this Update earlier as of the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Group elected to adopt this new guidance as non-public entity in the year ended March 31, 2020 and interim periods in the year ended March 31, 2021. The Group is currently evaluating and does not believe the adoption of the rest of the standard will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires that a lessee should recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from operating leases. A lessee should recognize in the balance sheet a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. If a lessee makes this election, it should recognize lease expenses for such lease generally on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years for public entities. For all other entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early application of the amendments in this Update is permitted for all entities. The Company elected to adopt this new guidance for the years ended March 31, 2021 and interim periods in the year ended March 31, 2021. The Group is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2016-02 will have on the Group’s consolidated financial statements, and expects that most existing operating lease commitments will be recognized as operating lease obligations and right-of-use assets as a result of adoption.

In June 2016, the FASB amended guidance related to the impairment of financial instruments as part of ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. For public business entities that are U.S. SEC filers, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, including not-for-profit entities and employee benefit plans within the scope of Topics 960 through 965 on plan accounting, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. All entities may adopt the amendments in this Update earlier as of the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company elected to adopt this new guidance for the year ended March 31, 2022 and interim periods in the year ended March 31, 2022. The guidance replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology with an expected credit loss model for which the Group is required to recognize an allowance based on its estimate of expected credit loss. The Group is currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

F-24

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. ASU 2016-15 provides guidance for targeted changes with respect to how cash receipts and cash payments are classified in the statements of cash flows, with the objective of reducing diversity in practice. The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company elected to adopt this new guidance as non-public entity for the year ended March 31, 2020 and interim periods in the year ended March 31, 2020. The Group is in the process of evaluating the impact of this accounting standard update on its consolidated statements of cash flows.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04 Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350). Under the amendments in this Update, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Additionally, an entity should consider income tax effects from any tax deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable. The Board also eliminated the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment and, if it fails that qualitative test, to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. A public business entity that is a U.S. SEC filer should adopt the amendments in this Update for its annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. A public business entity that is not an SEC filer should adopt the amendments in this Update for its annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020.

(b) Acquisition of Meiliworks Limited (“Meiliworks”)

Meiliworks is an e-commerce platform mainly providing online shopping facilitation and other related services. On February 3, 2016, the Company’s shareholders purchased 107,136,897 newly issued Class A Ordinary Shares of Meiliworks and the Company purchased one newly issued Series A Preferred Share of

F-26

Meiliworks. In exchange, as the purchase consideration, the Company issued new 117,662,806 ordinary shares with fair value of RMB266,061 and 542,215,079 convertible redeemable preferred shares with fair value of RMB1,958,593 of the Company to Meiliworks’ shareholders, which accounted for 25.5% of the Company’s total shares on a fully diluted basis.

The aforementioned Series A Preferred Share has the following rights and privileges:

(i) Super voting right of ten billion (10,000,000,000) votes as opposed to then outstanding shares of total 107,136,897 votes.

(ii) Dividend right to receive dividends and distributions on shares of Meiliworks.

(iii) Liquidation preference to receive all assets of Meiliworks available for distribution to its members after satisfaction of all creditors’ claims and claims that may be preferred by law and any other holders of Class A Ordinary Shares of Meiliworks, for an amount equal to the aggregate par value of the shares.

Meiliworks’ shareholders and the Company’s shareholders have entered into a series of agreements, which included a voting agreement with the Company to vote their shares in Meiliworks as may be directed by the Company, and a call option in favor of the Company for the purchase by the Company of all of their shares in Meiliworks for nominal consideration.

In addition, the founders of the Company were appointed as the only two directors of Meiliworks upon the completion of the transaction.

In connection with above transaction, all then existing VIE contracts between Meiliworks’ wholly owned subsidiary and its VIEs were terminated and the new VIE contracts were simultaneously executed, in agreed forms, between the VIE operating companies of the Meiliworks and the wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, Hangzhou Shiqu.

Through above contractual arrangements and the shares exchange, the Company was concluded as the acquirer that effectively controls Meiliworks and the consolidated financial statements of Meiliworks are included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

In June 2017, all Class A ordinary shares of Meiliworks were surrendered and cancelled. The Series A Preferred Share was then redesignated into one Class A ordinary share.

All awards issued and outstanding under the Meiliworks ESOP were cancelled, and the Meiliworks ESOP were terminated at the closing of the acquisition. After the closing, some holders of awards issued under the Meiliworks ESOP received partly in cash settlement, amounting to US$10,000 (RMB65,521), which was fully paid in October 2016, and partly in 14,650,515 shares of new awards issued under the Company ESOP with substantially comparable terms. The fair value of these employee compensations attributable to precombination services, amounting to RMB10,767, was included in the total purchase price. The fair value of these employee compensations attributable to postcombination services, amounting to RMB13,200, would be recognized as expenses in the subsequent periods.

4 RISKS AND CONCENTRATION

(a) Concentration of credit risk

Assets that potentially subject the Group to significant concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term investments and loan receivables. The maximum exposure of such assets to credit risk is their carrying amounts as of the balance sheet dates. As of March 31, 2017 and 2018, all of the Group’s cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and short-term investments were held with major financial institutions located in the PRC and Hong Kong which management believes are of high credit quality. On May 1, 2015, China’s new Deposit Insurance Regulation came into effect, pursuant to which banking financial institutions, such as commercial banks, established in China are required to purchase deposit insurance for deposits in RMB and in foreign currency placed with them. Such Deposit Insurance Regulation would not be effective in providing complete protection for the Group’s accounts, as its aggregate deposits are much higher than the compensation limit. However, the Group believes that the risk of failure of any of these PRC banks is remote. Loan receivables are derived from loan to merchants and consumers in the PRC. The risk with respect to

F-28

loan receivable is mitigated by credit evaluations the Group performs on merchants and consumers and its ongoing monitoring process of outstanding balances.

(b) Concentration of customers and suppliers

There were no customers or suppliers whose revenues or purchases individually represent greater than 10% of the total revenues or the total purchases of the Group for the years ended March 31, 2017 and 2018.

(c) 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 6.8% between March 31, 2016 and 2017. The appreciation of the RMB against the US$ was approximately 8.9% between March 31, 2017 and 2018. 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.

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. Following is a description of the valuation techniques that the Group uses to measure the fair value of assets that the Group reports in its Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value on a recurring basis.

Short-term investments

Wealth management products. The Group values its wealth management products investments held in certain banks or financial institutions using model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data, and accordingly, the Group classifies the valuation techniques that use these inputs as Level 2.

10 DECONSOLIDATION OF A SUBSIDIARY

In May 2016, the Company and an unrelated third party, set up iSNOB Holdings Limited (“iSNOB”), each holding 80% and 20% ordinary shares, respectively with a fully paid registered capital of RMB1,000. iSNOB operates an online shopping platform since inception. On October 31, 2017, due to issuance of new Series A Preferred Shares by iSNOB to an unrelated third party investor, the Company’s equity interest in iSNOB was diluted to 18% on a fully diluted basis and at the meantime was redesignated as redeemable preferred shares. As a result of the dilution, the Company deconsolidated the financial results of iSNOB and accounted for its investment as an available-for-sale investment. The Company used the latest financing price of iSNOB to measure the fair value of retained interest in iSNOB at the deconsolidation date and recognized a gain of deconsolidation of a subsidiary in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss as follows:

	RMB
Receivables of the Company due from iSNOB as of October 31, 2017		1,968

Cash consideration		1,190
Total consideration		4,408
Fair value of investment in iSNOB		18,000
Gain on deconsolidation of a subsidiary		13,592

Equity method investment

In January 2018, JM Weshop, formerly known as JD Homexpress (Cayman) Inc., and Flying Get Limited (“Flying”), both are unrelated with the Company, and the Company entered into a share purchase agreement (the “SPA”) and a business cooperation agreement (the “BCA”). After the SPA and BCA were entered into by the three parties, JM Weshop, incorporated in Cayman, is expected to start to operate an e-commence platform mainly providing services for on-line shops from merchants through a social networking application. According to the BCA, the Company was responsible for selecting and teaming an operational labour workforce including but not limited to management level, product and technology staff, operational staff and administrative staff to JM Weshop before the closing date. On March 1, 2018, the closing date of the transaction, the Company completed the process and contributed an organized workforce team to JM Weshop, in exchange of 40,000,000 ordinary shares of JM Weshop, representing 40% shareholding of JM Weshop on a fully diluted basis. The Company is entitled to one out of three board seats at JM Weshop. Flying contributed and accounted for 60% shareholding of JM Weshop on a fully diluted basis and has the remaining two board seats, accordingly.

In accordance with the SPA, the Company may transfer 10,000,000 ordinary shares of JM Weshop held by the Company (“ESOP Shares”) to grantees who are the employees of JM Weshop. The Company is entitled to all the rights attaching to the ESOP Shares, including dividend rights, liquidation rights and voting rights, until the ESOP Shares are transferred to grantees upon exercise of their stock options. As of March 31, 2018, no awards with underlying ESOP shares has been granted.

F-34

As the Company is able to exercise significant influence over JM Weshop and the investment is in the form of ordinary shares of the investee, the Company therefore applies equity method accounting for JM Weshop investment starting from March 2018, and should share the results of JM Weshop accordingly. The carrying amount and unrealized securities holding loss for the investment in JM Weshop as of March 31, 2018 was as follows:

	As of March 31, 2018
	RMB
Investment cost		158,627

Total investment cost		157,448

Share of cumulative loss		(4,923	)
Share of other comprehensive loss		(2,124	)
Total booked value under equity method		(7,047	)
Net book value as of March 31, 2018		150,401

The organized workforce contributed by the Company to JM Weshop is considered a business with an input and a substantive process that can create output in accordance with ASC 805. Since the Company contributed this noncash asset that meets the definition of a business in exchange for the equity interest in JM Weshop. The Company followed the guidance in ASC 810-10-40-5, and recorded a gain in the amount of RMB158,627, measured as the difference between the fair value of the ordinary shares of JM Weshop that the Company received, and the carrying amount of the contributed workforce which did not have a value per Meili’s book prior to the transaction. The fair value of the ordinary shares of JM Weshop was determined by management with the assistance of an independent appraiser. The gain is presented in the “Investment Gain” line item for the year ended March 31, 2018 on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive loss.

The Company determined the fair value of the ordinary shares of JM Weshop by using income approach. The key assumptions adopted in the valuation as of March 1, 2018 are as following:

	As of March 1, 2018
Revenue growth rate		10% - 200%
Gross margin rate		(20)% - 53.5%

Amortization expenses for intangible assets were RMB440,772 and RMB384,555 for the years ended March 31, 2017 and 2018, respectively.

In December 2016, the business of Aimei has been terminated primarily because the Group decided to sharpen its focus on its current business model, and to a lesser extent, the operating conditions of the business. As a result, the intangible assets from the acquisition of Aimei were fully impaired. The impairment charge of approximately RMB14,374 (RMB12,360 for brand and RMB2,014 for technology, respectively) was recognized in impairment of goodwill and intangible assets in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

As of March 31, 2018, amortization expenses related to the intangible assets for future periods are estimated to be as follows:

	RMB			RMB		RMB

Accumulated impairment loss		(96,236	)		—		(96,236	)
		—			1,568,653		1,568,653

(a) In October 2016, Hangzhou Juangua entered into a share purchase agreement with Hangzhou MG Co., Ltd. (“Hangzhou MG”). As of the acquisition date, the difference of RMB928 between the total consideration of RMB3,000 and fair value of Hangzhou MG’s net assets of RMB2,072 was recognized in goodwill.

(b) Goodwill impairment

As of March 31, 2016, the RMB96,236 in goodwill resulted from the acquisition of Aimei in January 2016 (Note 3), which formed our cross-border business reporting unit. The RMB1,567,725 in goodwill resulted from the acquisition of Meiliworks in February 2016 (Note 3), which formed part of our domestic business reporting unit. Once goodwill has been assigned to a reporting unit, for accounting purposes, the goodwill is no longer directly associated with the underlying acquisitions that the goodwill originated from, but rather the reporting unit to which it has been allocated. The Group had two reporting units as of March 31, 2016.

Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis as of March 31, and in between annual tests when an event occurs or circumstances change that could indicate that the goodwill might be impaired.

In December 2016, considering qualitative factor that cross-border business was terminated primarily because the Group decided to sharpen its focus on its current business model, and to a lesser extent, the operating conditions of the business, the Group concluded that a two-step goodwill impairment test was required for the cross-border reporting unit.

As the cross-border business was entirely terminated with no future cash flow expected, management determined the implied fair value of goodwill in the cross-border business reporting unit to be zero. As a result, the goodwill in the cross-border business reporting unit was fully impaired and impairment loss of RMB96,236 was recognized in impairment of goodwill and intangible assets in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for the year ended March 31, 2017.

The Group performed annual impairment test on the goodwill related to the domestic business reporting unit on March 31 of each year. Considering qualitative factors that the Group was suffering from accumulated loss and operating cash outflow, the Group concluded that a two-step goodwill impairment test was required for the domestic business reporting unit.

In estimating the fair value of the domestic business reporting unit in the first step of the impairment test, significant management judgment was required. In using the income approach methodology of valuation,

F-38

estimates to determine the fair value of the domestic business reporting unit included management judgment related to forecasts of future operating results, discount rates, and expected future growth rates that are used in the discounted cash flow method of valuation. In using the market approach methodology of valuation, management made judgments related to the selection of comparable businesses. The underlying assumptions used in the first step of the impairment test considered the current industry environment and its expected impact on the fair value of the domestic business reporting unit. The Group determined that the fair value of the domestic business reporting unit was more than the carrying value and the second step of the impairment test for the domestic business reporting unit is not necessary. Therefore, no impairment of goodwill related to the domestic business reporting unit was recognized as of March 31, 2017 and 2018.

Cayman Islands (“Cayman”)

Under the current tax laws of the Cayman Islands, the Company is not subject to tax on income or capital gains. In addition, upon payments of dividends by the Company to its shareholders, no Cayman Islands withholding tax will be imposed.

Hong Kong

Under the current Hong Kong Inland Revenue Ordinance, the Company’s Hong Kong subsidiaries are subject to Hong Kong profits tax at the rate of 16.5% on the taxable income generated from the operations in Hong Kong. Payments of dividends by the subsidiaries to the Company are not subject to withholding tax in Hong Kong.

PRC

On March 16, 2007, the National People’s Congress of PRC enacted a new Corporate Income Tax Law (“new CIT Law”), under which Foreign Investment Enterprises (“FIEs”) and domestic companies would be subject to corporate income tax at a uniform rate of 25%. The new CIT Law became effective on January 1, 2008. Under the new CIT Law, preferential tax treatments will continue to be granted to entities which conduct businesses in certain encouraged sectors and to entities otherwise classified as “high and new technology enterprises”. In accordance with the new CIT Law, Hangzhou Shiqu, Hangzhou Juangua and Meilishuo (Beijing) Network Technology Co., Ltd. enjoy the 15% preferential tax rate from 12th November, 2016 to 2018. The preferential tax rate of Meilishuo (Beijing) Network Technology Co., Ltd. expired at December 31, 2017.

On November 8, 2013, Hangzhou Shiqu and Hangzhou Juangua were entitled to be “Software Enterprises”. According to the new CIT Law and relevant regulations, from the first profit-making year to December 31, 2017, such entities could enjoy a tax holiday of 2-year CIT exemption and subsequently 3-year 12.5% preferential tax rate. Although Hangzhou Shiqu and Hangzhou Juangua were entitled to both “Software Enterprises” and “High and New Technology Enterprises”, they chose to apply the preferential tax rate of “High and New Technology Enterprises” since only one tax holiday can be enjoyed at the same period.

Tax holiday had no impact as there is no taxable profit for Hangzhou Shiqu, Hangzhou Juangua and Meilishuo (Beijing) Network Technology Co., Ltd. for the year ended March 31, 2017 and 2018.

The Group’s other PRC subsidiaries, consolidated VIEs and VIEs’ subsidiaries are subject to the statutory income tax rate of 25%.

F-40

PRC withholding tax on dividends

The New CIT Law provides that an enterprise established under the laws of a foreign country or region but whose “de facto management body” is located in the PRC be treated as a resident enterprise for PRC tax purposes and consequently be subject to the PRC income tax at the rate of 25% for its global income. The Implementing Rules of the CIT Law merely define the location of the “de facto management body” as “the place where the exercising, in substance, of the overall management and control of the production and business operation, personnel, accounting, property, etc., of a non-PRC company is located.” Based on a review of surrounding facts and circumstances, the Group does not believe that it is likely that its operations outside of the PRC should be considered a resident enterprise for PRC tax purposes.

The CIT Law also imposes a withholding income tax of 10% on dividends distributed by a foreign-invested entity (“FIE”) to its immediate holding company outside of China, if such immediate holding company is considered as a non-resident enterprise without any establishment or place within China or if the received dividends have no connection with the establishment or place of such immediate holding company within China, unless such immediate holding company’s jurisdiction of incorporation has a tax treaty with China that provides for a different withholding arrangement. According to the Double Tax Arrangement between Mainland China and Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, dividends paid by an FIE in China to its immediate holding company in Hong Kong will be subject to withholding tax at a rate of no more than 5% if the foreign investor owns directly at least 25% of the shares of the FIE and if Hong Kong company is a beneficial owner of the dividend. The State Administration of Taxation (“SAT”) further promulgated Circular [2009] 601 and SAT Public Notice [2018] No. 9 regarding the assessment criteria on beneficial owner status.

The Group’s consolidated VIEs and VIEs’ subsidiaries are controlled by the Company through various contractual agreements. To the extent that these consolidated VIEs and VIEs’ subsidiaries have undistributed earnings, the Company will accrue appropriate expected tax associated with repatriation of such undistributed earnings. As of March 31, 2017 and 2018, the Company did not record any withholding tax on the retained earnings of its subsidiaries, consolidated VIEs and VIEs’ subsidiaries in the PRC as they were still in accumulated deficit position.

Simultaneously, the Company issued the equal number of liquidation preference ordinary shares (referred to “Class B-3 Ordinary Shares” hereafter) to the holder.

Class B-1, B-2 and B-3 Ordinary Shares are collectively referred to as Class B Ordinary Shares hereafter.

No ordinary share may be converted into Class B Ordinary Shares. Class B-1 Ordinary Shares, Class B-2 Ordinary Shares and Class B-3 Ordinary Shares are not convertible into one another. Any Class B Ordinary Shares may be converted into Class A Ordinary Shares on a 1:1 basis at the option of the holder thereof.

With respect to cancellation of ordinary shares in exchange for issuance of Class B Ordinary Shares, management of the Company concluded that these transfer transactions are accounted for as the transaction between the shareholders of the Company, including recognizing expenses for share based compensation component in the transactions involving the founder and management of the Company. The total difference of RMB140,255 between the carrying value of related share capitals and the initial value of Class B Ordinary Shares was debited to additional paid-in capital during the periods prior to March 31, 2016.

The holders of the Company’s Class B Ordinary Shares have the same rights as the Company’s ordinary shares except for the following rights of liquidation preference:

a) In the event of any liquidation, dissolution, winding up or deemed liquidation of the Company, either voluntary or involuntary, after satisfaction of all creditors’ claims and claims that may be preferred by law and setting aside or paying in full the aggregate liquidation preference amount of the convertible redeemable Series C preferred shares, the convertible redeemable Series B preferred shares and the convertible redeemable Series A preferred shares (other than any such liquidation preference amount duly waived), prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets or surplus funds of the Company to the holders of Junior Ordinary Shares by reason of their ownership of such shares, a holder of Class B Ordinary Shares shall be entitled to receive, in respect of each Class B Ordinary Share held by it and on a pari passu basis with any other Class B Ordinary Shares, the liquidation preference amount of such Class B Ordinary Share.

b) The liquidation preference amount of a Class B Ordinary Share shall mean an amount equal to IP × (1.08)^N, where IP is the original issue price of such share and N is the number of calendar days that have elapsed since the original issue date of such share divided by three hundred and sixty (360) days plus all declared but unpaid dividends on such share.

The Class B Ordinary Shares are redeemable upon a liquidation event, including a deemed liquidation event, and therefore are presented as mezzanine equity on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. In accordance with ASC 480-10-S99, each issuance of the Class B Ordinary Shares should be recognized at the respective fair value at the date of issuance. Since the Class B Ordinary Shares are not redeemable until the occurrence of a liquidation event, no subsequent accretion to the respective redemption values is necessary until it is probable the liquidation event is to occur. To-date, no liquidation or deemed liquidation events have occurred or are probable. Accordingly, there have been no accretive costs to the Class B Ordinary Shares recorded for the years presented.

CLASS C ORDINARY SHARES

If any Class C Ordinary Share ceases to be beneficially owned by Mr. Chen Qi, such Class C Ordinary Shares shall be automatically converted into Class A Ordinary Shares on a 1:1 basis upon such cessation of beneficial ownership. Any Class C Ordinary Shares may be converted into Class A Ordinary Shares on a 1:1 basis at the option of the holder thereof. Upon the earlier of (A) Mr. Chen Qi ceasing to serve as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and (B) the occurrence of a relevant material breach trigger, all of the Class C Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by Mr. Chen Qi shall automatically be converted into Class A Ordinary Shares on a 1:1 basis.

The Company has classified the Preferred Shares in the mezzanine equity on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as they are contingently redeemable at the options of the holders. In addition, the Company records accretions on the Preferred Shares to the redemption value from the issuance dates to the earliest redemption

F-51

dates, i.e. December 31, 2018. The accretions are recorded against additional paid-in capital. Once additional paid-in capital has been exhausted, additional charges are recorded by increasing the accumulated deficit. Each issuance of the Preferred Shares is recognized at the respective fair value at the date of issuance net of issuance costs. The issuance costs for Series A, Series B and Series C Preferred Shares were US$255, US$183 and US$3,767, respectively.

The Company determined that there were no embedded derivatives requiring bifurcation as the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded conversion and redemption features are clearly and closely related to that of the Preferred Shares. The Preferred Shares are not readily convertible into cash as there is not a market mechanism in place for trading of the Company’s shares.

The Company has determined that there was no beneficial conversion feature attributable to any of the preferred shares because the initial effective conversion prices of these preferred shares were higher than the fair value of the Company’s common shares determined by the Company with the assistance from an independent valuation firm.

The Company assesses whether an amendment to the terms of its Preferred Shares is an extinguishment or a modification using the fair value model. When Preferred Shares are extinguished, the difference between the fair value of the consideration transferred to the holders of Preferred Shares and the carrying amount of Preferred Shares (net of issuance costs) is treated as deemed dividends to the holders of Preferred Shares. The Company considers that a significant change in fair value after the change of the terms to be substantive and thus triggers extinguishment. A change in fair value which is not significant immediately after the change of the terms is considered non-substantive and thus is subject to modification accounting. When Preferred Shares are modified, the Company evaluates whether there is a transfer of value from ordinary shareholders to holders of the Preferred Shares as a result of the modification and therefore, should record a reduction of, or increase to, retained earnings as a deemed dividend.

Modifications of Preferred Shares that result in transfers of value between holders of Preferred Shares and ordinary shareholders are accounted by analogizing to the guidance in ASC 718 for modification of share compensation arrangements classified as equity. Any changes in value resulting from the modification is recognized as effective dividend to (from) holders of Preferred Shares and is included in earnings available to ordinary shareholders in both basic and diluted EPS calculation. For the years ended March 31, 2017 and 2018, there is no modifications of Preferred Shares.

19 SHARE BASED COMPENSATION

(a) Global Share Plan

On December 9, 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the establishment of Global Share Plan that provides for granting options to eligible directors, employees and etc. (collectively, the “Grantees”) to acquire ordinary shares of the Company at an exercise price as determined by the Board at the time of grant. According to the latest amended and restated Global Share Plan, the Board of Directors authorized and reserved 316,317,652 ordinary shares for the issuance.

Since adoption of the Global Share Plan, the Company granted RSUs and options to employees. All RSUs and options granted have a contractual term of ten years, and the majority vest over a period of four years of continuous service on a straight-line basis. Under the option plan, options are exercisable subject to the grantee’s continuous service and the listing of the stock of the Company on a public stock exchange market or be held in escrow if the employee exercise the vested part when leaving the Company, which is normally in fifteen days after resignation.

The Company accounted for the share based compensation costs on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the award based on the fair value on their respective grant dates. Upon the deemed exercise of

the options, the Company recognized the receipts in escrow account of exercise amount paid by employees in accruals and other current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Expected forfeiture rate (post vesting)		3% for staff 0% for management		3% for staff 0% for management
Fair value of the underlying shares on the date of option grants (US$)		0.37~0.40		0.45
Fair value of share option (US$)		0.11~0.39		0.14

The Group estimated the risk free rate based on the yield to maturity of U.S. treasury bonds denominated in US$ at the option valuation date. The exercise multiple is estimated as the ratio of fair value of underlying shares over the exercise price as at the time the option is exercised, based on a consideration of empirical studies on the actual exercise behavior of employees. Expected term is the contract life of the option. The expected volatility at the date of grant date and each option valuation date was estimated based on the historical stock prices of comparable companies. The Group has never declared or paid any cash dividends on its capital stock, and the Group does not anticipate any dividend payments in the foreseeable future.

21. Segment reporting

The Group determined that it used to operate in two operating segments: (1) Cross-border business and (2) Domestic business. Cross-border business was terminated primarily because the Group decided to sharpen its focus on its current business model, and to a lesser extent, the operating conditions of the business. After the termination, there is only one operating segment in the Group.

The Group derives the results of the segments directly from its internal management reporting system. The CODM measures the performance of each segment based on metrics of revenue and earnings from operations and uses these results to evaluate the performance of, and to allocate resources to, each of the segments. The Group does not allocate share-based compensation expenses to its segments, as the CODM does not use such information to allocate resources to or evaluate the performance of the operating segments. As most of the Group’s long-lived assets are located in the PRC and most of the Group’s revenues are derived from the PRC, no geographical information is presented.

23 RESTRICTED NET ASSETS

Pursuant to laws applicable to entities incorporated in the PRC, the Group’s subsidiaries in the PRC must make appropriations from after-tax profit to non-distributable reserve funds. These reserve funds include one or more of the following: (i) a general reserve, (ii) an enterprise expansion fund and (iii) a staff bonus and welfare fund. Subject to certain cumulative limits, the general reserve fund requires an annual appropriation of 10% of after tax profit (as determined under accounting principles generally accepted in the PRC at each year-end) until the accumulative amount of such reserve fund reaches 50% of a company’s registered capital; the other fund appropriations are at the subsidiaries’ discretion. These reserve funds can only be used for specific purposes of enterprise expansion and staff bonus and welfare and are not distributable as cash dividends. During the year ended March 31, 2017 and 2018, RMB773 and RMB1,067 appropriations to the statutory reserve, enterprise expansion fund and staff welfare and bonus fund have been made by the Group.

In addition, due to restrictions on the distribution of share capital from the Group’s PRC subsidiaries and also as a result of these entities’ unreserved accumulated losses, total restrictions placed on the distribution of the Group’s PRC subsidiaries’ net assets was RMB4,329,843 as of March 31, 2018 (RMB4,108,197, as of March 31, 2017).

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

1 ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

(a) Principle activities

Meili Inc. (the “Company”), formerly known as Mogu Holdings Limited, was incorporated as an exempted company registered under the Companies Law of the Cayman Islands on June 9, 2011 with limited liability.

In June 2011, Meili Group Limited, formerly known as MOGU (HK) Limited, was established by the Company in Hong Kong. In November 2011, Meili Group Limited established a wholly-owned PRC subsidiary, Hangzhou Shiqu Information and Technology Co., Ltd. (“Hangzhou Shiqu”). In the same month, the Company obtained control over Hangzhou Juangua Network Co., Ltd. (“Hangzhou Juangua”) through Hangzhou Shiqu by entering into a series of contractual agreements with Hangzhou Juangua and its shareholders. The Company obtained effective control of Aimei Tech Holdings Limited (“Aimei”) and Meiliworks Limited (“Meiliworks”) through a series of transactions in January and February 2016, respectively (Note 3).

The Company, through its subsidiaries, consolidated variable interest entities (“VIEs”) and VIE’s subsidiaries (collectively, the “Group”), operates online platform that primarily offers to its users a wide selection of fashion apparel and other products provided by third party merchants in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) through mobile apps, including flagship Mogujie app, mini-programs on Weixin, Weixin pay and QQ Wallet entryways, and Mogujie.com and Meilishuo.com websites. The Group also provides online marketing, commission, financing and other relevant services to merchants and users.

The Group’s consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, its subsidiaries, consolidated VIEs and VIE’s subsidiaries.

In order to comply with PRC regulatory requirements restricting foreign ownership of internet information services under value-added telecommunications services and certain other businesses in China, the Group

F-68

operates online platforms that provide internet information services and engages in other foreign-ownership-restricted businesses through certain PRC domestic companies, whose equity interests are held by certain management members of the Group (“Nominee Shareholders”). The Group obtained control over these PRC domestic companies by entering into a series of contractual agreements with these PRC domestic companies and their respective Nominee Shareholders (“Contractual Agreements”). These Contractual Agreements cannot be terminated by the Nominee Shareholders or the PRC domestic companies. As a result, the Group maintains the ability to control these PRC domestic companies and is entitled to substantially all of the economic benefits from these PRC domestic companies and is obligated to absorb expected losses of these PRC domestic companies. Management concluded that these PRC domestic companies are consolidated VIEs of the Group, of which the Company is the ultimate primary beneficiary. As such, the Group consolidated the financial results of these PRC domestic companies and their subsidiaries. Refer to Note 2(b) to the consolidated financial statements for the principles of consolidation.

The principal terms of the agreements entered into amongst the consolidated VIEs, their respective shareholders and the Group’s subsidiaries are further described below.

Loan Agreements

Pursuant to the relevant loan agreements, the Group relevant PRC subsidiaries made loans to the Nominee Shareholders for the sole purpose of making capital contributions to the consolidated VIEs. The Nominee Shareholders can only repay the loans by the sale of all their equity interests in the consolidated VIEs to the Group’s relevant PRC subsidiaries or their designated person pursuant to the exclusive option agreements, and, to the extent permitted under PRC law, pay all of the proceeds from sale of such equity interests to the Group’s relevant PRC subsidiaries. In the event that the Nominee Shareholders sells their equity interests in the consolidated VIEs to the Group’s relevant PRC subsidiaries or their designated person at a price equal to or less than the principal amount of the loans, the loans will be interest free. If the price is higher than the principal amount of the loans, the excess amount will be deemed as interest on the loans paid to the Group’s relevant PRC subsidiaries. The term of the loans agreements are 20 years from the date of the loan agreements, which may be extended upon mutual agreement.

On July 18, 2018, Hangzhou Shiqu and each of Mr. Qi Chen, Mr. Yibo Wei and Mr. Xuqiang Yue, each a shareholder of Hangzhou Juangua, entered into an amended and restated loan agreement in the principal amount of RMB5,867, RMB2,362 and RMB1,771, respectively, which contained terms substantially similar to the loan agreements described above.

Exclusive Consultation and Service Agreements

Pursuant to the exclusive consultation and service agreements, the Group’s relevant PRC subsidiaries has the exclusive right to provide the consolidated VIEs with technical and consulting services. Without the Group’s relevant PRC subsidiaries’ prior written consent, the consolidated VIEs may not accept any services subject to these agreements from any third party. The consolidated VIEs agree to pay the Group’s relevant PRC subsidiaries a quarterly service fee at an amount that is equal to the consolidated VIEs’ revenue for the relevant quarter after deducting any applicable taxes, cost of revenues and retained earnings (which should be zero unless the Group’s relevant PRC subsidiaries otherwise agrees in writing) or an amount adjusted at the Group’s relevant PRC subsidiaries’ sole discretion for the relevant quarter, which should be paid within 10 business days after the consolidated VIEs confirms in writing the amount and breakdown of the service fee for the relevant quarter. The Group’s relevant PRC subsidiaries have the exclusive ownership of all the intellectual property rights created as a result of the performance of the agreements. To guarantee the consolidated VIEs’ performance of their obligations under the agreements, the Nominee Shareholders of the consolidated VIEs have pledged their entire equity interests in the consolidated VIEs to the Group’s relevant PRC subsidiaries pursuant to the equity interest pledge agreements. The agreements have a term of 10 years, which will be automatically renewed upon expiration, unless they are otherwise terminated in accordance with the provisions of the agreements.

F-69

Exclusive Purchase Option Agreements

Pursuant to the exclusive option agreements, each of the Nominee Shareholders of the consolidated VIEs has irrevocably granted the Group’s relevant PRC subsidiaries exclusive option to purchase all or part of their equity interests in the consolidated VIEs. The Group’s relevant PRC subsidiaries or their designated person may exercise such option at the lowest price permitted under applicable PRC law. The Nominee Shareholders of the consolidated VIEs covenant that, without the Group’s relevant PRC subsidiaries’ prior written consent, they will not, among other things, (i) create any pledge or encumbrance on their equity interests in the consolidated VIEs; (ii) transfer or otherwise dispose of their equity interests in the consolidated VIEs; (iii) change the consolidated VIEs’ registered capital; (iv) amend the consolidated VIEs’ articles of association in any material respect; (v) dispose of or cause the consolidated VIEs’ management to dispose of the consolidated VIEs’ material assets (except in the ordinary course of business); (vi) cause the consolidated VIEs to enter into transactions that are likely to have a material impact on its assets, liabilities, operations, shareholding structure or equity ownership in other entities; (vii) change the consolidated VIEs’ directors and supervisors; (viii) declare or distribute dividends; (ix) terminate, liquidate or dissolve the consolidated VIEs; or (x) allow the consolidated VIEs to extend or borrow loans, provide any form of guarantee, or assume any material obligations except in the ordinary course of business. In addition, the consolidated VIEs covenant that, without the Group’s relevant PRC subsidiaries’ prior written consents, they will not, among other things, create or assist or allow their Nominee Shareholders to create, any pledge or encumbrance on their assets and equity interests, or transfer or otherwise dispose of their assets (except in the ordinary course of business).

Pursuant to the shareholder voting proxy agreements, each of the Nominee Shareholders of the consolidated VIEs has executed a power of attorney, to irrevocably authorize an individual, as designated by the Group’s relevant PRC subsidiaries, to act as his attorney-in-fact to exercise all of his rights as a shareholder of the consolidated VIEs, including, but not limited to the right to convene and attend shareholders’ meetings, vote on any resolution that requires a shareholder vote, such as the appointment and removal of directors, supervisors and officers, as well as the sale, transfer and disposal of all or part of the equity interests owned by such shareholder. The powers of attorney will remain effective until the shareholder voting proxy agreements are terminated in accordance with the provisions of the agreements.

Equity Interest Pledge Agreements

Pursuant to the equity interest pledge agreements, the Nominee Shareholders of the consolidated VIEs have pledged 100% equity interests in the consolidated VIEs to the Group’s relevant PRC subsidiaries to guarantee performance by the Nominee Shareholders of their obligations under the exclusive option agreements, the shareholder voting proxy agreement, as well as the performance by the consolidated VIEs of their obligations under the exclusive option agreements and the exclusive consultation and service agreements. All of the equity interest pledge agreements shall remain valid until the full performance of such guaranteed contractual obligations. In the event of a breach by the consolidated VIEs or any of their Nominee Shareholders of contractual obligations under the exclusive option agreements, the shareholder voting proxy agreements, the exclusive consultation and service agreements and the equity interest pledge agreements, as the case may be, the Group’s relevant PRC subsidiaries, as pledgee, will have the right to dispose of the pledged equity interests in the consolidated VIEs and will have priority in receiving the proceeds from such disposal. The Nominee Shareholders of the consolidated VIEs also covenant that, without the prior written consent of the Group’s relevant PRC subsidiaries, they will not dispose of, create or allow any encumbrance on the pledged equity interests. The consolidated VIEs covenant that, without the prior written consent of the Group’s relevant PRC subsidiaries, it will not assist or allow any encumbrance to be created on the pledged equity interests.

Under the Contractual Agreements with the consolidated VIEs, the Company has the power to direct activities of the consolidated VIEs and VIEs’ subsidiaries through the Group’s relevant PRC subsidiaries, and

F-71

can have assets transferred freely out of the consolidated VIEs and VIEs’ subsidiaries without restrictions. Therefore, the Company considers that there is no asset of the consolidated VIEs that can only be used to settle obligations of the respective consolidated VIEs, except for the registered capital of the consolidated VIEs amounting to RMB14,050 as of June 30, 2018. Since the consolidated VIEs and VIEs’ subsidiaries are incorporated as limited liability companies under the PRC Law, creditors of the consolidated VIEs and VIEs’ subsidiaries do not have recourse to the general credit of the Company.

The Group believes that the Group’s relevant PRC subsidiaries’ Contractual Arrangements with the consolidated VIEs and the Nominee Shareholders are in compliance with PRC laws and regulations, as applicable, and are legally binding and enforceable. However, uncertainties in the PRC legal system could limit the Company’s ability to enforce these contractual arrangements.

In addition, if the current structure or any of the contractual arrangements were found to be in violation of any existing or future PRC law, the Company may be subject to penalties, which may include but not be limited to, the cancellation or revocation of the Company’s business and operating licenses, being required to restructure the Company’s operations or terminate the Company’s operating activities. The imposition of any of these or other penalties may result in a material and adverse effect on the Company’s ability to conduct its operations. In such case, the Company may not be able to operate or control the VIEs, which may result in deconsolidation of the VIEs.

2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Basis of presentation and consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in our annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted consistent with Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary by management to a fair statement of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year or for any future periods. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements and notes thereto also included herein.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared using accounting policies that are consistent with the policies used in preparing the Group’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2018. Significant accounting policies followed by the Group in the preparation of its accompanying consolidated financial statements are summarized below.

(b) Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, its subsidiaries, the consolidated VIEs and VIEs’ subsidiaries for which the Company is the ultimate primary beneficiary.

Subsidiaries are those entities in which the Company, directly or indirectly, controls more than one half of the voting power; or has the power to govern the financial and operating policies, to appoint or remove the majority of the members of the board of directors, or to cast a majority of votes at the meeting of directors.

F-72

A VIE is an entity in which the Company, or its subsidiaries, through Contractual Agreements, bears the risks of, and enjoys the rewards normally associated with, ownership of the entity, and therefore the Company or its subsidiaries are the primary beneficiary of the entity.

All transactions and balances among the Company, its subsidiaries, the consolidated VIEs and VIEs’ subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation.

(c) Business combination and non-controlling interests

The Company accounts for its business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805 “Business Combinations.” The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the acquisition date fair values of the assets transferred and liabilities incurred by the Company to the sellers and equity instruments issued. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets and liabilities acquired or assumed are measured separately at their fair values as of the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any non-controlling interests. The excess of (i) the total costs of acquisition, fair value of the non-controlling interests and acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest in the acquiree over (ii) the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the acquiree is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized directly in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. During the measurement period, which can be up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the values of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

In a business combination achieved in stages, the Company re-measures the previously held equity interest in the acquiree immediately before obtaining control at its acquisition-date fair value and the re-measurement gain or loss, if any, is recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

When there is a change in ownership interests or a change in contractual arrangements that results in a loss of control of a subsidiary or consolidated VIE, the Company deconsolidates the subsidiary or consolidated VIE from the date control is lost. Any retained non-controlling investment in the former subsidiary or consolidated VIE is measured at fair value and is included in the calculation of the gain or loss upon deconsolidation of the subsidiary or consolidated VIE.

For the Company’s majority-owned subsidiaries, consolidated VIEs and VIEs’ subsidiaries, non-controlling interests are recognized to reflect the portion of their equity that is not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Company as the controlling shareholder. Non-controlling interests are classified as a separate line item in the equity section of the Group’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and have been separately disclosed in the Group’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss to distinguish the interests from that of the Company.

(d) Use of estimates

The preparation of the 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, related disclosures of contingent liabilities at the balance sheet date, and the reported revenues and expenses during the reported period in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant accounting estimates are used for, but not limited to, refund of commission due to sales return, volume refund of commission, the valuation and recognition of share-based compensation arrangements, fair value of assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations and available-for-sale investments, assessment for impairment of long-lived assets, intangible assets and goodwill and useful lives of intangible assets. Actual results may differ materially from those estimates.

F-73

(e) Foreign currency translation

The Group’s reporting currency is Renminbi (“RMB”). The functional currency of the Group’s entities incorporated in Cayman Islands and Hong Kong, China (“HK”) is the United States dollars (“US$”). The Group’s PRC subsidiaries, consolidated VIEs and VIEs’ subsidiaries determined their functional currency to be RMB. The determination of the respective functional currency is based on the criteria of ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters.

Transactions denominated in currencies other than functional currency are translated into functional currency at the exchange rates quoted by authoritative banks prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Exchange gains and losses resulting from those foreign currency transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are recorded as a component of Other (expense)/income, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. Total exchange gains/(losses) were a gain of RMB1,871 and a loss of RMB4,851 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2018, respectively.

The financial statements of the Group are translated from the functional currency into RMB. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies 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, gains and losses are translated into RMB using the periodic average exchange rates. The resulting foreign currency translation adjustments are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) as a component of shareholders’ equity. Total foreign currency translation adjustments to the Group’s other comprehensive income/(loss) were a loss of RMB15,701 and a gain of RMB46,016 of RMB for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2018, respectively.

(f) Convenience translation

Translations of the Consolidated Balance Sheets, the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss and the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows from RMB into US$ as of and for the year ended June 30, 2018 are solely for the convenience of the readers and were calculated at the rate of US$1.00=RMB6.6171, representing the noon buying rate set forth in the H.10 statistical release of the U.S. Federal Reserve Board on June 29, 2018. No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted, realized or settled into US$ at that rate on June 30, 2018, or at any other rate.

(g) Fair value measurement

Financial instruments

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 measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Group considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.

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 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

• Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or

F-74

liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical asset or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.

• Level 3 applies to asset or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

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. 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.

The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, loan receivables, prepayments and other current assets, amounts due from related parties, accounts payable, amounts due to related parties and accruals and other current liabilities. The carrying amounts of loan receivables, prepayments and other current assets, accounts payable and accruals and other current liabilities approximate their fair value due to their relatively short maturity.

(h) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, time deposits as well as highly liquid investments, which have original maturities of three months or less and are readily convertible to known amount of cash.

(i) Restricted cash

Cash that is restricted as to withdrawal or for use or pledged as security is reported separately on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Group’s restricted cash mainly represents deposits held in designated bank accounts as security for payment processing. The restricted cash with the collection period within one year are classified as current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

(j) Short-term investments

Short-term investments are comprised of time deposits placed with banks with original maturities longer than three months but less than one year, and investments in wealth management products issued by banks or other financial institutions, which contain a fixed or variable interest rate and with original maturities within one year. Such investments are generally not permitted to be redeemed early or are subject to penalties for redemption prior to maturity. These investments are stated at fair value. Changes in the fair value are reflected in the Consolidation Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

(k) Loan receivables, net

Loan receivables represent the funds extended by the Group to qualified merchants and users through its factoring arrangements. The loan periods generally range from 1 month to 12 months. The loan receivables are initially measured at amortized cost.

The Group considers many factors in assessing the collectability of its loan receivable, such as the age of the amounts due, the payment history, creditworthiness and financial conditions of the borrowers, to determine the allowance percentage of the overdue balances. The Group adjusts the allowance balance periodically when there are significant differences between estimated and actual bad debts. An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded in the period in which a loss is determined probable.

F-75

The loan receivables reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at outstanding principal net of allowance for doubtful accounts. The accrued interests are also included in the loan receivable balance.

If the loan receivable with allowance for doubtful accounts is subsequently collected, the previously recognized allowance for doubtful accounts is reversed. The amount of reversal is recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

(l) Inventories, net

Inventories, consisting of products available for sale, are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost of inventory is determined using the weighted average cost method. Adjustments are recorded to write down the cost of inventory to the estimated net realizable value due to slow-moving merchandise and damaged goods, which is dependent upon factors such as historical and forecasted consumer demand, and promotional environment. The Group takes ownership, risks and rewards of the products purchased. There is no write down for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2018, respectively.

(m) Property, equipment and software, net

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

Electronic equipment	3 years
Furniture and office equipment	5 years
Computer software	3-10 years
Vehicles	5 years
Leasehold improvements	Shorter of the expected use life or the lease term

Repairs and maintenance costs are charged to expenses as incurred. Retirements, sales and disposals of assets are recorded by removing the costs, accumulated depreciation and impairment with any resulting gain or loss recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

(n) Intangible assets, net

Intangible assets purchased from third parties are initially recorded at cost. The Group performs valuation of the intangible assets arising from business combination to determine the relative fair value to be assigned to each asset acquired. The intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line approach over the estimated economic useful lives of the assets.

The estimated useful lives of intangible assets are as follows:

Domain name	10 years
Insurance agency license	20 years
Buyer and customer relationship	2 years
Brand	2-8 years
Technology	2-3 years
Business cooperation agreement	3 years

(o) Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination.

F-76

Goodwill is not depreciated or amortized but is tested for impairment on an annual basis as of March 31, and in between annual tests when an event occurs or circumstances change that could indicate that the asset might be impaired. In accordance with the FASB guidance on “Testing of Goodwill for Impairment,” a company first has the option to assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If the company decides, as a result of its qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the quantitative impairment test is mandatory. Otherwise, no further testing is required. The quantitative impairment test consists of a comparison of the fair value of each reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the carrying amount of each reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss equal to the difference between the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill and the carrying amount of goodwill will be recorded. Application of a goodwill impairment test requires significant management judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assigning assets and liabilities to reporting units, assigning goodwill to reporting units, and determining the fair value of each reporting unit. The judgment in estimating the fair value of reporting units includes estimating future cash flows, determining appropriate discount rates and making other assumptions. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value for each reporting unit.

(p) Investments

The Group’s investments include equity method investment and available-for-sale investments.

The Group has investments in privately held companies. The Group applies the equity method of accounting to account for an equity investment, in common stock or in-substance common stock, according to ASC 323 “Investment—Equity Method and Joint Ventures”, over which it has significant influence but does not own a majority equity interest or otherwise control.

An investment in in-substance common stock is an investment in an entity that has risk and reward characteristics that are substantially similar to that entity’s common stock. The Group considers subordination, risks and rewards of ownership and obligation to transfer value when determining whether an investment in an entity is substantially similar to an investment in that entity’s common stock.

Under the equity method, the Group’s share of the post-acquisition profits or losses of the equity investee are recorded in share of results of equity investee in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss and its share at post-acquisition movements in accumulated other comprehensive income in relation to foreign currency translation adjustment is recognized in shareholders’ equity. The excess of the carrying amount of the investment over the underlying equity in net assets of the equity investee represents goodwill and intangible assets acquired. When the Group’s share of losses in the equity investee equals or exceeds its interest in the equity investee, the Group does not recognize further losses, unless the Group has incurred obligations or made payments or guarantees on behalf of the equity investee.

For other equity investments that are not considered as debt securities or equity securities that have readily determinable fair values and over which the Group has neither significant influence nor control through investments in common stock or in-substance common stock, the cost method of accounting is used. Under the cost method, investments are carried at cost and are adjusted only for other than-temporary declines in fair value, certain distributions, and additional investments.

Investments in debt securities and equity securities that have readily determinable fair value are accounted for as available-for-sale securities, and are recognized based on trade date and carried at estimated fair value with the aggregate unrealized gains and losses related to these investments, net of taxes, reported through other comprehensive income. Realized gains or losses are charged to earnings during the period in which the gains or losses are realized. Gain or losses are realized when such investments are sold or when dividends are declared or payments are received or when other than temporarily impaired.

F-77

Currently, the maturities for debt securities the Group held are longer than 12 months and the Company does not expect to convert securities to cash within one year.

The Group continually reviews its investments to determine whether a decline in fair value to below the carrying value is other-than-temporary. The primary factors the Group considers in its determination are the duration and severity of the decline in fair value; the financial condition, operating performance and the prospects of the equity investee; and other company specific information such as recent financing rounds. If the decline in fair value is deemed to be other-than-temporary, the carrying value of the investment is written down to fair value.

(q) 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 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 assets and their eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected future undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value of the assets, the Group recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying value of the assets over the fair value of the assets.

(r) Advance from customers

Advance from customers represent the commission revenue received before users’ acceptance of products.

(s) Revenue recognition

The Group adopted ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” for all periods presented. Consistent with the criteria of Topic 606, the Group recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services.

To achieve that core principle, the Group applies five steps defined under Topic 606. The Group assesses its revenue arrangements against specific criteria in order to determine if it is acting as principal or agent. Revenue arrangements with multiple performance obligations are divided into separate units of accounting. The Group allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation based on the relative standalone selling price of the goods or services provided. Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised goods or services to a customer.

Revenue is recorded net of value-added-tax.

Revenue recognition policies for each type of revenue stream are analyzed as follows:

Marketing services revenues

The Group provides marketing services to merchants and brand partners that help them promote their products in designated areas on the Group’s platform directly or via social network platforms over particular periods of time that will then divert users back to the Group’s platform. Such service revenues are charged at fixed prices or at prices established through the Group’s online auction system. In general, merchants and brand partners need to prepay for the marketing services. Revenue is recognized ratably over the period during which the content is displayed, or when the content or offerings are clicked or viewed, or when an underlying sales transaction is completed by a merchant.

F-78

Commission revenues

The Group operates its online platform as a marketplace for merchants to sell their merchandise to the users and also provides integrated platform-wide services. When the transactions are completed on the Group’s platform, the Group charges merchants commissions at their respective agreed percentage of the amount of merchandise sold by merchants. The Group identifies that arranging for the provision of products by merchants for each successful transaction and provision of integrated services are separate performance obligations. The Group applies the practical expedient that allocates the commission revenues for the integrated services to the respective day on which the Group has the right to invoice. The Group does not control the underlying merchandise provided by merchants before they are transferred to users, as the Group is not responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the merchandise to users and has no inventory risk before the merchandise are transferred to the users or after the control is transferred to the users. In addition, the Group has no discretion in establishing prices of the merchandise provided by merchants. Commission revenues are recognized on a net basis at the point of users’ acceptance of merchandise.

Commission fees are refundable if and when users return the merchandise to merchants and the refund is recognized as variable consideration. The Group determines the amount of consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled subject to constraint that it is probable that a significant reversal in the cumulative amount of revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty is resolved. The Group recognizes the amounts received for which the Group does not expect to be entitled as a refund liability when it transfers service to merchants. At the end of each reporting period, the Group updates its assessment of amounts for which it expects to be entitled in exchange for the transferred services and makes a corresponding change to the amount of commission revenue recognized.

The Group also offers volume refund to the merchants based on the accumulative sales amount they generate in the Group’s marketplace during a certain period. Within a certain period, should the total sales amount generated by a merchant reaches a pre-agreed threshold, the merchant is entitled to a certain percentage of the commission paid to the Group as a refund. The Group identifies the volume refund as a performance obligation and recognizes it at its standalone selling price as contract liabilities. The amount of contract liabilities involves an estimation of the merchant’s sales amount during a certain period and the related percentage to calculate the volume refund. Such estimation is reassessed and adjusted at the end of each reporting period.

Other revenues

Other revenues are mainly comprised of the revenues from financing solutions, online direct sales and other services.

Financing solutions include loans to users and merchants through factoring arrangements. The Group extends loans to users by purchasing merchants’ receivables from respective users without recourse and charges a service fee to users based on the principal and repayment terms. The Group also extends loans to merchants by purchasing their accounts receivables from users with recourse and charges a service fee to merchants based on the principal. The Group records loan receivables when the cash is advanced to the users or merchants. The service fees are recognized over the term of loans.

Financing solutions also include the services to facilitate the financial institutions to provide loans to merchants and users through the Group’s online platform and services to manage repayments. The service fees are charged to the borrowers based on agreed rates of the principal and are allocated to facilitation service and repayment management service in the same transaction based on the relative standalone selling price of each. Revenue is recognized when the fund is drawn down by the borrowers for the facilitation service or over the financing period on a straight-line basis for the repayment management service.

The Group also sells certain merchandise products through online direct sales. The Group recognizes the product revenues from the online direct sales on a gross basis as the Group is primarily obligated in these

F-79

transactions, is subject to inventory risk, has latitude in establishing prices and selecting suppliers, or has met several but not all of these indicators. The Group recognizes online direct sales revenue net of discounts and return allowance when the merchandise products are delivered and control passes to users. Return allowances, which reduce net revenues, are estimated based on historical experiences.

Other services primarily comprise (i) technology development, support and consulting services to related parties and third parties, (ii) service fees received from insurance companies, and (iii) logistic services to merchants. Revenue is recognized when the services are rendered.

Remaining performance obligations

Revenue allocated to remaining performance obligations represents that portion of the overall transaction price that has been received (or for which the Group has an unconditional right to payment) allocated to performance obligations that the Group has not yet fulfilled, which is presented as deferred revenue that has not yet been recognized. As of June 30, 2018, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was RMB1,598, which were expected to be recognized as revenue in 12 months.

(t) Customer incentives

In order to promote its online platform and attract more registered users, from time to time, the Group at its own discretion issues vouchers in various forms to users as customer incentives without any concurrent transactions in place or any substantive action needed from the recipient. These vouchers can be used in purchase of goods in a broad range of merchants as an immediate discount of their next purchase, some of which can only be used when the purchase amount exceeds pre-defined threshold. As the users are required to make future purchases of the merchants’ merchandises to redeem the vouchers, the Group recognizes the amounts of redeemed vouchers as marketing expenses when future purchases are made. During the three months ended June 30 2017 and 2018, the Group recorded marketing expenses related to the vouchers of RMB26,115 and RMB28,812, respectively.

(u) Cost of revenue

Cost of revenue comprises primarily of payroll costs including share-based compensation expenses, server storage expenses, payment handling costs, depreciation expenses, rental expenses, warehousing and logistic expenses and other costs.

(v) Sales and marketing expenses

Sales and marketing expenses comprise primarily of promotion expenses, payroll costs including share-based compensation expenses, depreciation expenses and other daily expenses which are related to the sales and marketing departments.

(w) Research and development expenses

Research and development expenses are expensed as incurred and primarily consist of staff costs including share-based compensation expenses, rental expenses and other expenses. The Company expenses all costs that are incurred in connection with the planning and implementation phases of development and costs that are associated with repair or maintenance of the existing websites or the development of software and website content. Costs incurred in the development phase are capitalized and amortized over the estimated product life. However, the amount of costs qualifying for capitalization has been insignificant and as a result, all website and software development costs have been expensed in “Research and development expenses” as incurred.

F-80

(x) General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses consist of staff costs including share-based compensation expenses and related expenses for employees involved in general corporate functions, including accounting, finance, tax, legal and human relations; and costs associated with use by these functions of facilities and equipment, such as depreciation expenses, rental and other general corporate related expenses.

(y) Government grants

Government grants represent cash subsidies received from PRC government. Cash subsidies which have no defined rules and regulations to govern the criteria necessary for companies to enjoy the benefits are recognized as other income when received. Total government grants received were RMB6 and RMB205 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2018, respectively.

(z) Operating leases

Leases where substantially all the rewards and risks of ownership of assets remain with the lessor are accounted for as operating leases. The Group leases office space under operating lease agreements with initial lease term up to three years. Rental expense is recognized from the date of initial possession of the leased property on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Certain lease agreements contain rent holidays, which are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease renewal periods are considered on a lease-by-lease basis and are generally not included in the initial lease terms.

The Group has no capital leases during the periods presented.

(aa) Share-based compensation

The Company grants restricted share units (“RSUs”) and share options of the Company to eligible employees, non-employee consultants and accounts for these share-based awards in accordance with ASC 718 Compensation — Stock Compensation and ASC 505-50 Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees.

Employees’ share-based awards are measured at the grant date fair value of the awards and recognized as expenses a) immediately at grant date if no vesting conditions are required; or b) using the straight-line method, net of actual forfeitures, over the requisite service period, which is the vesting period.

All transactions in which goods or services are received in exchange for equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.

Non-employees’ share-based awards are measured at fair value at the earlier of the commitment date or the date the services are completed. Awards granted to non-employees are re-measured at each reporting date using the fair value as at each period end until the measurement date, generally when the services are completed and awards are vested. Changes in fair value between the reporting dates are recognized using the straight-line method.

The fair value of the RSUs was assessed using the income approach/discounted cash flow method, with a discount for lack of marketability given that the shares underlying the awards were not publicly traded at the time of grant. This assessment required complex and subjective judgments regarding the Company’s projected financial and operating results, its unique business risks, the liquidity of its ordinary shares and its operating history and prospects at the time the grants were made.

In addition, the binomial option-pricing model is used to measure the value of share options. The determination of the fair value of share options is affected by the fair value of the ordinary shares as well as

F-81

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 with the assistance from an independent valuation firm using management’s estimates and assumptions.

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, and subsequent events are not indicative of the reasonableness of the original estimates of fair value made by the Company for accounting purposes.

In accordance with ASU 2016-09, the Group makes an entity-wide accounting policy election to account for forfeitures when they occur.

(bb) 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 and VIEs 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. The total amounts for such employee benefit expenses, which were expensed as incurred, were approximately RMB25,706 and RMB18,301 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2018, respectively.

(cc) Taxation

Income taxes

Current income taxes are provided on the basis of income/(loss) for financial reporting purposes, adjusted for income and expense items which are not assessable or deductible for income tax purposes, in accordance with the regulations of the relevant tax jurisdictions. Deferred income taxes are provided using the liability method. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of temporary differences by applying enacted statutory rates applicable to future years to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities. The tax base of an asset or liability is the amount attributed to that asset or liability for tax purposes. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss in the period of change. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the amount of deferred tax assets if it is considered more likely than not that some portion of, or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred income taxes are classified as non-current in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Uncertain tax positions

The Group recognizes a tax benefit associated with an uncertain tax position when, in its judgment, it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority. For a tax position that meets the-more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the Group initially and subsequently measures the tax benefit as the largest amount that the Group judges to have a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority. The Group’s liability associated with unrecognized tax benefits is adjusted periodically due to changing circumstances, such as the progress of tax audits, case law developments

F-82

and new or emerging legislation. Such adjustments are recognized entirely in the period in which they are identified. The Group’s effective tax rate includes the net impact of changes in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits and subsequent adjustments as considered appropriate by management. The Group classifies interest and penalties recognized on the liability for unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. As of March 31, 2018 and June 30, 2018, the Group did not have any significant unrecognized uncertain tax positions.

(dd) Statutory reserves

In accordance with China’s Company Laws, the Company’s consolidated VIEs and VIEs’ subsidiaries in PRC must make appropriations from their after-tax profit (as determined under the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises as promulgated by the Ministry of Finance of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC GAAP”)) to non-distributable reserve funds including (i) statutory surplus fund and (ii) discretionary surplus fund. The appropriation to the statutory surplus fund must be at least 10% of the after-tax profits calculated in accordance with PRC GAAP. Appropriation is not required if the statutory surplus fund has reached 50% of the registered capital of the respective company. Appropriation to the discretionary surplus fund is made at the discretion of the respective company.

Pursuant to the laws applicable to China’s Foreign Investment Enterprises, the Company’s subsidiary that is a foreign investment enterprise in China have to make appropriations from their after-tax profit (as determined under PRC GAAP) to reserve funds including (i) general reserve fund, (ii) enterprise expansion fund and (iii) staff bonus and welfare fund. The appropriation to the general reserve fund must be at least 10% of the after tax profits calculated in accordance with PRC GAAP. Appropriation is not required if the general reserve fund has reached 50% of the registered capital of the respective company. Appropriations to the other two reserve funds are at the respective companies’ discretion.

The Group has made no appropriations to statutory surplus fund and other reserve funds for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2018, respectively. The Company’s other subsidiaries and consolidated VIEs and VIEs’ subsidiaries in China were in accumulated loss position.

(ee) 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 Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. As such adjustments relate to subsidiaries for which the functional currency is not RMB and which do not incur income tax obligations, there are no tax adjustments to arrive at other comprehensive income/(loss) on a net of tax basis.

(ff) Net income/(loss) per share

Basic net income/(loss) per share is computed by dividing net income/(loss) attributable to holders of ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income/(loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income/(loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders, by the weighted average number of ordinary and dilutive ordinary equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Ordinary equivalent shares consist of ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding share options using the treasury stock method. Ordinary equivalent shares are not included in the denominator of the diluted earnings per share calculation when inclusion of such shares would be anti-dilutive.

(gg) Segment reporting

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise engaging in businesses activities for which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by the Group’s chief operating decision

F-83

makers (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Group’s CODM has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer. Starting from December, 2016, the Group’s CODM only reviews consolidated results including revenue and operating loss at a consolidated level only. This resulted in only one operating and reportable segment in the Group.

The Group’s long-lived assets are substantially all located in the PRC and substantially all the Group’s revenues are derived from within the PRC, therefore, no geographical segments are presented.

(hh) Recent accounting pronouncements

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01 Financial Instruments—Overall (Subtopic 825-10) “Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. The amendments in this ASU require all equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in the fair value recognized through non-operating income (other than those accounted for under equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee). The amendments in this accounting standard update also require an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments. In addition, the amendments in this accounting standard update eliminate the requirement to disclose the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost for entities that are not public business entities and the requirement to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet for public business entities. For public business entities that are U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filers, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities including not-for-profit entities and employee benefit plans within the scope of Topics 960 through 965 on plan accounting, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. All entities that are not public business entities may adopt the amendments in this Update earlier as of the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Group elected to adopt this new guidance as non-public entity in the year ended March 31, 2020 and interim periods in the year ended March 31, 2021. The Group is currently evaluating and does not believe the adoption of the rest of the standard will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires that a lessee should recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from operating leases. A lessee should recognize in the balance sheet a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. If a lessee makes this election, it should recognize lease expenses for such lease generally on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years for public entities. For all other entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early application of the amendments in this Update is permitted for all entities. The Company elected to adopt this new guidance for the years ended March 31, 2021 and interim periods in the year ended March 31, 2021. The Group is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2016-02 will have on the Group’s consolidated financial statements, and expects that most existing operating lease commitments will be recognized as operating lease obligations and right-of-use assets as a result of adoption.

In June 2016, the FASB amended guidance related to the impairment of financial instruments as part of ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. For public business entities that are U.S. SEC filers, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other

F-84

public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, including not-for-profit entities and employee benefit plans within the scope of Topics 960 through 965 on plan accounting, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. All entities may adopt the amendments in this Update earlier as of the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company elected to adopt this new guidance for the year ended March 31, 2022 and interim periods in the year ended March 31, 2022. The guidance replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology with an expected credit loss model for which the Group is required to recognize an allowance based on its estimate of expected credit loss. The Group is currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. ASU 2016-15 provides guidance for targeted changes with respect to how cash receipts and cash payments are classified in the statements of cash flows, with the objective of reducing diversity in practice. The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company elected to adopt this new guidance as non-public entity for the year ended March 31, 2020 and interim periods in the year ended March 31, 2020. The Group is in the process of evaluating the impact of this accounting standard update on its consolidated statements of cash flows.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04 Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350). Under the amendments in this Update, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Additionally, an entity should consider income tax effects from any tax deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable. The Board also eliminated the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment and, if it fails that qualitative test, to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. A public business entity that is a U.S. SEC filer should adopt the amendments in this Update for its annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. A public business entity that is not an SEC filer should adopt the amendments in this Update for its annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. All other entities, including not-for-profit entities, which are adopting the amendments in this Update should do so for their annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company elected to adopt this new guidance for the year ended March 31, 2022 and interim periods in the year ended March 31, 2022. The Company does not believe the adoption of the standard will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09 Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718). The Board is issuing this Update to provide clarity and reduce both (1) diversity in practice and (2) cost and complexity when applying the guidance in Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, to a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. The amendments in this Update provide guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period, for (1) public business entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued and (2) all other entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been made available for issuance. The Company has adopted ASU 2017-09 in the current period

F-85

ended June 30, 2018 and the adoption had no material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

3 SIGNIFICANT ACQUISITION TRANSACTIONS

(a) Acquisition of Aimei Tech Holdings Limited (“Aimei”)

Aimei is an e-commerce platform mainly engaged in cross-border shopping facilitation services. Prior to January 20, 2016, the Group held an approximately 19% equity interest on a fully diluted basis, of which approximately 4% were in the form of ordinary shares and approximately 15% were in the form of convertible redeemable preferred shares. On January 20, 2016, the Group acquired all issued and outstanding shares of Aimei that it had not previously owned by issuing an aggregate of 35,362,655 ordinary shares of the Group to the old shareholders of Aimei, which includes 10,096,540 ordinary shares of the Company issued to the founder of Aimei (the “Founder Consideration Shares”).

In order to ensure a smooth integration and preserve non-compete for Aimei, Aimei founder and the Group mutually agreed that (a) the Founder Consideration Shares are to be released to Aimei founder in four years equally after the acquisition on an annual basis; (b) the Company has the right to repurchase the Founder Consideration Shares that have not been released should Aimei founder breaches the non-competition undertaking during a period from the acquisition date until 24 months after the earlier of (i) Aimei Founder ceases to hold any interest in the Company; and (ii) the effective date of a qualified public offering by and among the Company and certain other parties there to.

On March 24, 2017, after taking into consideration the termination of the cross-border e-commerce business and Aimei founder’s career development plan, the Group and Aimei founder mutually agreed that Aimei founder surrender to the Company, at no consideration, 5,048,271 ordinary shares, being 50% of the Founder Consideration Shares. The above shares were cancelled by the Company.

The allocation of the purchase price as of the date of acquisition is summarized as follows:

	Amounts			Estimated useful lives
	RMB
Cash and cash equivalents		32,026
Restricted cash		1,141
Prepayments and other current assets		7,759

F-86

The Group believed the addition of Aimei to the group would expand service offerings to our customers through Aimei’s cross-border e-commerce business. Goodwill arising from this acquisition was attributable to the synergies expected from the combined operations of Aimei and the Group, the combined and rationalized workforce and their knowledge and experience in the cross-border business. The goodwill is not tax deductible.

(b) Acquisition of Meiliworks Limited (“Meiliworks”)

Meiliworks is an e-commerce platform mainly providing online shopping facilitation and other related services. On February 3, 2016, the Company’s shareholders purchased 107,136,897 newly issued Class A Ordinary Shares of Meiliworks and the Company purchased one newly issued Series A Preferred Share of Meiliworks. In exchange, as the purchase consideration, the Company issued new 117,662,806 ordinary shares with fair value of RMB266,061 and 542,215,079 convertible redeemable preferred shares with fair value of RMB1,958,593 of the Company to Meiliworks’ shareholders, which accounted for 25.5% of the Company’s total shares on a fully diluted basis.

The aforementioned Series A Preferred Share has the following rights and privileges:

(i) Super voting right of ten billion (10,000,000,000) votes as opposed to then outstanding shares of total 107,136,897 votes.

(ii) Dividend right to receive dividends and distributions on shares of Meiliworks.

(iii) Liquidation preference to receive all assets of Meiliworks available for distribution to its members after satisfaction of all creditors’ claims and claims that may be preferred by law and any other holders of Class A Ordinary Shares of Meiliworks, for an amount equal to the aggregate par value of the shares.

Meiliworks’ shareholders and the Company’s shareholders have entered into a series of agreements, which included a voting agreement with the Company to vote their shares in Meiliworks as may be directed by the Company, and a call option in favor of the Company for the purchase by the Company of all of their shares in Meiliworks for nominal consideration.

In addition, the founders of the Company were appointed as the only two directors of Meiliworks upon the completion of the transaction.

In connection with above transaction, all then existing VIE contracts between Meiliworks’ wholly owned subsidiary and its VIEs were terminated and the new VIE contracts were simultaneously executed, in agreed forms, between the VIE operating companies of the Meiliworks and the wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, Hangzhou Shiqu.

Through above contractual arrangements and the shares exchange, the Company was concluded as the acquirer that effectively controls Meiliworks and the consolidated financial statements of Meiliworks are included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

In June 2017, all Class A ordinary shares of Meiliworks were surrendered and cancelled. The Series A Preferred Share was then redesignated into one Class A ordinary share.

All awards issued and outstanding under the Meiliworks ESOP were cancelled, and the Meiliworks ESOP were terminated at the closing of the acquisition. After the closing, some holders of awards issued under the Meiliworks ESOP received partly in cash settlement, amounting to US$10,000 (RMB65,521), which was fully paid in October 2016, and partly in 14,650,515 shares of new awards issued under the Company ESOP with substantially comparable terms. The fair value of these employee compensations attributable to precombination services, amounting to RMB10,767, was included in the total purchase price. The fair value of these employee compensations attributable to postcombination services, amounting to RMB13,200, would be recognized as expenses in the subsequent periods.

Goodwill arising from this acquisition was attributable to the synergies expected from the combined operations of Meiliworks and the Group, the assembled workforce, and their knowledge and experience in the domestic e-commerce business. The goodwill is not tax deductible.

4 RISKS AND CONCENTRATION

(a) Concentration of credit risk

Assets that potentially subject the Group to significant concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term investments and loan receivables. The maximum exposure of such assets to credit risk is their carrying amounts as of the balance sheet dates. As of March 31, 2018 and June 30, 2018, all of the Group’s cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and short-term investments were held with major financial institutions located in the PRC and Hong Kong which management believes are of high credit quality. On May 1, 2015, China’s new Deposit Insurance Regulation came into effect, pursuant to which banking financial institutions, such as commercial banks, established in China are required to purchase deposit insurance for deposits in RMB and in foreign currency placed with them. Such Deposit Insurance Regulation would not be effective in providing complete protection for the Group’s accounts, as its aggregate deposits are much higher than the compensation limit. However, the Group believes that the risk of failure of any of these

F-88

PRC banks is remote. Loan receivables are derived from loan to merchants and consumers in the PRC. The risk with respect to loan receivable is mitigated by credit evaluations the Group performs on merchants and consumers and its ongoing monitoring process of outstanding balances.

(b) Concentration of customers and suppliers

There were no customers or suppliers whose revenues or purchases individually represent greater than 10% of the total revenues or the total purchases of the Group for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2018.

(c) 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$, at times significantly and unpredictably. The appreciation of the RMB against the US$ was approximately 1.8% between March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017. The depreciation of the RMB against the US$ was approximately 5.2% between March 31, 2018 and June 30, 2018. 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.

7 FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

As of March 31, 2018 and June 30, 2018, the Group’s assets and liabilities 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
Description	Fair value as of March 31, 2018		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)

Total assets		285,835		—		230,000		55,835

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. Following is a description of the valuation techniques that the Group uses to measure the fair value of assets that the Group reports in its Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value on a recurring basis.

Short-term investments

Wealth management products.

In January 2018, JM Weshop, formerly known as JD Homexpress (Cayman) Inc., and Flying Get Limited (“Flying”), both are unrelated with the Company, and the Company entered into a share purchase agreement (the “SPA”) and a business cooperation agreement (the “BCA”). After the SPA and BCA were entered into by the three parties, JM Weshop, incorporated in Cayman, is expected to start to operate an e-commence platform mainly providing services for on-line shops from merchants through a social networking application. According to the BCA, the Company was responsible for selecting and teaming an operational labour workforce including

F-93

but not limited to management level, product and technology staff, operational staff and administrative staff to JM Weshop before the closing date. On March 1, 2018, the closing date of the transaction, the Company completed the process and contributed an organized workforce team to JM Weshop, in exchange of 40,000,000 ordinary shares of JM Weshop, representing 40% shareholding of JM Weshop on a fully diluted basis. The Company is entitled to one out of three board seats at JM Weshop. Flying contributed and accounted for 60% shareholding of JM Weshop on a fully diluted basis and has the remaining two board seats, accordingly.

In accordance with the SPA, the Company may transfer 10,000,000 ordinary shares of JM Weshop held by the Company (“ESOP Shares”) to grantees who are the employees of JM Weshop. The Company is entitled to all the rights attaching to the ESOP Shares, including dividend rights, liquidation rights and voting rights, until the ESOP Shares are transferred to grantees upon exercise of their stock options. As of June 30, 2018, no awards with underlying ESOP shares has been granted.

a) In the event of any liquidation, dissolution, winding up or deemed liquidation of the Company, either voluntary or involuntary, after satisfaction of all creditors’ claims and claims that may be preferred by law and setting aside or paying in full the aggregate liquidation preference amount of the convertible redeemable Series C preferred shares, the convertible redeemable Series B preferred shares and the convertible redeemable Series A preferred shares (other than any such liquidation preference amount duly waived), prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets or surplus funds of the Company to the holders of Junior Ordinary Shares by reason of their ownership of such shares, a holder of Class B Ordinary Shares shall be entitled to receive, in respect of each Class B Ordinary Share held by it and on a pari passu basis with any other Class B Ordinary Shares, the liquidation preference amount of such Class B Ordinary Share.

In accordance with ASC 480-10-S99, each issuance of the Class B Ordinary Shares should be recognized at the respective fair value at the date of issuance. Since the Class B Ordinary Shares are not redeemable until the occurrence of a liquidation event, no subsequent accretion to the respective redemption values is necessary until it is probable the liquidation event is to occur.

The Company has classified the Preferred Shares in the mezzanine equity on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as they are contingently redeemable at the options of the holders. In addition, the Company records accretions on the Preferred Shares to the redemption value from the issuance dates to the earliest redemption

F-104

dates, i.e. December 31, 2018. The accretions are recorded against additional paid-in capital. Once additional paid-in capital has been exhausted, additional charges are recorded by increasing the accumulated deficit. Each issuance of the Preferred Shares is recognized at the respective fair value at the date of issuance net of issuance costs. The issuance costs for Series A, Series B and Series C Preferred Shares were US$255, US$183 and US$3,767, respectively.

The Company determined that there were no embedded derivatives requiring bifurcation as the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded conversion and redemption features are clearly and closely related to that of the Preferred Shares. The Preferred Shares are not readily convertible into cash as there is not a market mechanism in place for trading of the Company’s shares.

The Company has determined that there was no beneficial conversion feature attributable to any of the preferred shares because the initial effective conversion prices of these preferred shares were higher than the fair value of the Company’s common shares determined by the Company with the assistance from an independent valuation firm.

The Company assesses whether an amendment to the terms of its Preferred Shares is an extinguishment or a modification using the fair value model. When Preferred Shares are extinguished, the difference between the fair value of the consideration transferred to the holders of Preferred Shares and the carrying amount of Preferred Shares (net of issuance costs) is treated as deemed dividends to the holders of Preferred Shares. The Company considers that a significant change in fair value after the change of the terms to be substantive and thus triggers extinguishment. A change in fair value which is not significant immediately after the change of the terms is considered non-substantive and thus is subject to modification accounting. When Preferred Shares are modified, the Company evaluates whether there is a transfer of value from ordinary shareholders to holders of the Preferred Shares as a result of the modification and therefore, should record a reduction of, or increase to, retained earnings as a deemed dividend.

Modifications of Preferred Shares that result in transfers of value between holders of Preferred Shares and ordinary shareholders are accounted by analogizing to the guidance in ASC 718 for modification of share compensation arrangements classified as equity. Any changes in value resulting from the modification is recognized as effective dividend to (from) holders of Preferred Shares and is included in earnings available to ordinary shareholders in both basic and diluted EPS calculation. For the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2018, there is no modifications of Preferred Shares.

17 SHARE BASED COMPENSATION

(a) Global Share Plan

On December 9, 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the establishment of Global Share Plan that provides for granting options to eligible directors, employees and etc. (collectively, the “Grantees”) to acquire ordinary shares of the Company at an exercise price as determined by the Board at the time of grant. According to the latest amended and restated Global Share Plan, the Board of Directors authorized and reserved 316,317,652 ordinary shares for the issuance.

Since adoption of the Global Share Plan, the Company granted RSUs and options to employees. All RSUs and options granted have a contractual term of ten years, and the majority vest over a period of four years of continuous service on a straight-line basis. Under the option plan, options are exercisable subject to the grantee’s continuous service and the listing of the stock of the Company on a public stock exchange market or be held in escrow if the employee exercise the vested part when leaving the Company, which is normally in fifteen days after resignation.

The Company accounted for the share based compensation costs on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the award based on the fair value on their respective grant dates. Upon the deemed exercise of

F-105

the options, the Company recognized the receipts in escrow account of exercise amount paid by employees in accruals and other current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Valuation of stock options

The Group uses the Binominal option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock options. There was no option granted for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The assumptions used to value the Company’s option grants for the three months ended June 30, 2017 were as follows:

Expected term	10 years
Expected volatility	47.49%
Exercise multiple	2.2~2.8
Expected dividend yield	—
Risk-free interest rate	2.4%
Expected forfeiture rate (post vesting)	3% for staff 0% for management
Fair value of the underlying shares on the date of option grants (US$)	0.45
Fair value of share option (US$)	0.14

The Group estimated the risk free rate based on the yield to maturity of U.S. treasury bonds denominated in US$ at the option valuation date. The exercise multiple is estimated as the ratio of fair value of underlying shares over the exercise price as at the time the option is exercised, based on a consideration of empirical studies on the actual exercise behavior of employees. Expected term is the contract life of the option. The expected volatility at the date of grant date and each option valuation date was estimated based on the historical stock prices of comparable companies. The Group has never declared or paid any cash dividends on its capital stock, and the Group does not anticipate any dividend payments in the foreseeable future.

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime.

The post-offering memorandum and articles of association that we expect to adopt and to become effective immediately prior to the completion of this offering provide that we shall indemnify our directors and officers (each an indemnified person) against all actions, proceedings, costs, charges, expenses, losses, damages or liabilities incurred or sustained by such indemnified person, other than by reason of such person’s own dishonesty, willful default or fraud, in or about the conduct of our company’s business or affairs (including as a result of any mistake of judgment) or in the execution or discharge of his duties, powers, authorities or discretions, including without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, any costs, expenses, losses or liabilities incurred by such indemnified person in defending (whether successfully or otherwise) any civil proceedings concerning our company or its affairs in any court whether in the Cayman Islands or elsewhere.

Pursuant to the indemnification agreements, the form of which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this registration statement, we agree to indemnify our directors and executive officers against certain liabilities and expenses incurred by such persons in connection with claims made by reason of their being such a director or officer.

The underwriting agreement, the form of which will be filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this registration statement, will also provide indemnification for us and our officers and directors for certain liabilities.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

ITEM 7. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES.

During the past three years, we have issued the following securities. We believe that each of the following issuances was exempt from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act regarding transactions not involving a public offering or in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act regarding sales by an issuer in offshore transactions. No underwriters were involved in these issuances of securities.

See Exhibit Index beginning on page II-9 of this registration statement.

These representations and warranties were made solely for the benefit of the other parties to the applicable agreement and (i) were not intended to be treated as categorical

II-6

statements of fact, but rather as a way of allocating the risk to one of the parties if those statements prove to be inaccurate; (ii) may have been qualified in such agreement by disclosure that was made to the other party in connection with the negotiation of the applicable agreement; (iii) may apply contract standards of “materiality” that are different from “materiality” under the applicable securities laws; and (iv) were made only as of the date of the applicable agreement or such other date or dates as may be specified in the agreement.

We acknowledge that, notwithstanding the inclusion of the foregoing cautionary statements, we are responsible for considering whether additional specific disclosure of material information regarding material contractual provisions is required to make the statements in this registration statement not misleading.

(b) Financial Statement Schedules

Schedules have been omitted because the information required to be set forth therein is not applicable or is shown in the Consolidated Financial Statements or the Notes thereto.

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriters at the closing specified in the underwriting agreement, certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriters to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions described in Item 6, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:

(1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

(2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) For the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

II-7

(4) For the purpose of determining any liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
