The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include adjustments of a normal recurring nature, as necessary, for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2022, and results of operations and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2022. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all the information and footnotes required by IFRS. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures have been prepared with the presumption that users of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have read or have access to the audited consolidated financial statements for the preceding fiscal years.

Liquidity

 

Since inception, the Group has incurred accumulated losses of RMB 2.8 billion. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Group had net operating loss of RMB 401.3 million (USD 59.8 million) and net operating cash outflow of RMB 342.5 million (USD 51.0 million). The principal sources of funding have historically been continuous cash contributions from equity holders. The cumulative contributions up through June 30, 2022 have been approximately RMB 2,835 million, among which included approximately RMB 1,431.8 million (USD 221.6 million, or USD 219.9 million based on the exchange rate as of the date of the IPO) of proceeds from issuance of ordinary shares in connection with the IPO. As of June 30, 2022, the Group had net assets of RMB 1,429.5 million (USD 213.0 million), including cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments of RMB 1,279.4 million (USD 190.6 million) and long-term investments of RMB 149.7 (USD 22.3 million). Taking this into consideration, the Group believes it will have sufficient available financial resources to meet its obligations and working capital requirements in the next twelve months from the date of issuance of these financial statements. Accordingly, the Group considers that it is appropriate to prepare the consolidated financial information on a going concern basis.
