false2021-03-310001769256--09-30As of September 30, 2020 and March 31, 2021, the balance due from a rental service company represented the reimbursement renovation costs due from the rental service company. The Company started to cooperate with a rental service company to source and renovate apartments since August 2018. For certain identified newly sourced apartments, the rental service company reimburses the Company for costs incurred for the renovation. The Company then makes payments to the rental service company in installments equal to the reimbursed renovation costs plus interest and tax over a period of five years.The deductible input VAT represented the excess of input VAT arising from purchases over output VAT arising from sales under the PRC tax laws and regulations. The deductible input VAT is carried forward to future period. As of March 31, 2021, the Company assessed certain PRC subsidiaries would not generate sufficient revenues and output VAT for the balance to be deducted in the next twelve months, the Company reclassified the deductible input VAT to the account of “other assets” as a noncurrent asset.Upon asset acquisition with Beautiful House, the Group engaged a third party service provider to provide apartment operation services to the Group. To support the operation services, the Company made interest free loans to the service provider and the loans are repayable on demand. 0001769256 2020-10-01 2021-03-31 0001769256 2020-09-30 0001769256

Results of Operations

Net Revenues

Our total net revenues decreased by 1.9% from RMB627.1 million in the six months ended March 31, 2020 to RMB615.2 million (US$93.9 million) in the six months ended March 31, 2021.

 

  •  

Rental service. Our net revenue from rental service decreased by 2.5% from RMB555.7 million in in the six months ended March 31, 2020 to RMB541.7 million (US$82.7 million) in the six months ended March 31, 2021, primarily attributable to decreases in our average monthly rental and average occupancy rate. The decrease in our average monthly rental was primarily because a majority of the rental units we managed during the six months ended March 31, 2021, particularly the approximately 72,000 rental units from our acquisition of lease contracts and related assets in July 2020, were located outside the tier 1 cities in China, where the average monthly rental was lower compared to those in the tier 1 cities in China. As a result, our rental spread margin decreased during the same periods. The decrease in our period-average occupancy rate was primarily due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

3

  •  

Value-added services and others. Our net revenues from value-added services and others increased by 3.0% from RMB71.4 million in the six months ended March 31, 2020 to RMB73.5 million (US$11.2 million) in the six months ended March 31, 2021, primarily due to a decrease in revenues from broadband internet and utility service. This was partially offset by an increase in revenue from indemnity, as an increased number of tenants and landlords terminated their leases with us before expiration of the lock-in period and we forfeited their deposits or received compensation from them for their early termination.

Operating Costs and Expenses

Our total operating costs and expenses decreased by 24.4% from RMB1,079.8 million in the six months ended March 31, 2020 to RMB816.7 million (US$124.7 million) in the six months ended March 31, 2021, primarily due to a decrease in impairment loss, selling and marketing expenses, general and administrative expenses and research and development expense.

 

  •  

Operating cost. Our operating cost slightly increased from RMB682.2 million in the six months ended March 31, 2020 to RMB684.2 million (US$104.4 million) in the six months ended March 31, 2021.

 

  •  

Selling and marketing expenses. Our selling and marketing expenses decreased by 69.1% from RMB40.5 million in the six months ended March 31, 2020 to RMB12.5 million (US$1.9 million) in the six months ended March 31, 2021, primarily due to our cost-saving and personnel cost optimizing efforts, including providing less promotions in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

  •  

General and administrative expenses. Our general and administrative expenses decreased by 29.0% from RMB65.1 million in the six months ended March 31, 2020 to RMB46.2 million (US$7.1 million) in the six months ended March 31, 2021, primarily attributable to decreases in the number of our staff and the share-based compensation expense due to our cost-saving efforts. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in consultant fees in relation to our acquisition of lease contracts and related assets for approximately 72,000 rental units in China.

 

  •  

Research and development expenses. Our research and development expenses decreased by 69.1% from RMB15.4 million in the six months ended March 31, 2020 to RMB4.8 million (US$0.7 million) in the six months ended March 31, 2021, primarily because we continuously reduced investments in the IT infrastructure as the system becomes mature.

 

  •  

Pre-operation expenses. We incurred pre-operation expenses of RMB12.7 million in the six months ended March 31, 2020, and did not incur pre-operation expenses in the six months ended March 31, 2021, primarily because we hardly developed any new rental units in the six months ended March 31, 2021.

 

  •  

Impairment loss on long-lived assets. Our impairment loss on long-lived assets decreased by 83.0% from RMB250.0 million in the six months ended March 31, 2020 to RMB42.6 million (US$6.5 million) in the six months ended March 31, 2021, primarily because large provisions was provided in 2020 for the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business.

 

  •  

Other expense, net. Our net other expense increased by 90.5% from RMB13.9 million in the six months ended March 31, 2020 to RMB26.4 million (US$4.0 million) in the six months ended March 31, 2021, primarily attributable to the disposal of our fixed assets due to the termination of leases with landlords.

Loss from Operations

As a result of the foregoing, our loss from operations decreased by 55.5% from RMB452.7 million in the six months ended March 31, 2020 to RMB201.5 million (US$30.8 million) in the six months ended March 31, 2021.

 

4

Interest Expense, Net

Our net interest expense increased by 4.5% from RMB61.5 million in the six months ended March 31, 2020 to RMB64.3 million (US$9.8 million) in the six months ended March 31, 2021. The increase was mainly attributable to the issuance of series 1 and series 2 convertible notes.

Debt extinguishment cost

We recorded an RMB42.0 million (US$6.4 million) of debt extinguishment cost in the six months ended March 31, 2021. This debt extinguishment cost is related to the extension of our loan from Azure Investments Ltd., which was originally due on September 30, 2020. We transferred 77,250,000 Class A ordinary shares which were our treasure shares to Azure Investments Ltd., which was recorded as debt extinguishment cost.

Fair value change of contingent earn-out liabilities

We did not have any fair value change of contingent earn-out liabilities in the six months ended March 31, 2021, compared to a loss of RMB97.4 million in the six months ended March 31, 2020. The loss in the six months ended March 31, 2020 was primarily because the contingent earn-out liabilities was waived upon completion of our initial public offering.

Loss before income taxes

As a result of the foregoing, our loss before income taxes increased from RMB416.8 million in the six months ended March 31, 2020 to RMB308.0 million (US$47.0 million) in the six months ended March 31, 2021.

Income Tax Expense

Our income tax expense was RMB26 thousand in the six months ended March 31, 2020 and RMB25 thousand (US$4 thousand) in the six months ended March 31, 2021. We incurred income tax expense despite our loss before income tax as certain of our subsidiaries in the PRC had income before taxes and income tax was assessed accordingly on these subsidiaries.

Net Loss

As a result of the foregoing, we recorded a net loss of RMB416.8 million in the six months ended March 31, 2020 and RMB308.0 million (US$47.0 million) in the six months ended March 31, 2021.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2021, we had RMB26.4 million (US$4.0 million) in cash and cash equivalents and RMB107 thousand (US$16 thousand) in restricted cash. We did not have any capital commitment as of March 31, 2021.

As of March 31, 2021, we recorded negative working capital, and our current liabilities exceeded our current assets by RMB1,888.1 million (US$288.2 million). We recorded accumulated deficits of RMB4,117.5 million as of March 31, 2021 and net cash used in operating activities of RMB77.6 million (US$11.8 million) for the six months ended March 31, 2021. Our businesses have been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak to a certain extent. During the COVID-19 pandemic in China, we adopted a defensive strategy after a prudent assessment of the broader macroeconomic downturn by consolidating internal resources, further improving operating efficiencies and focusing on asset quality improvement rather than aggressive expansion. During the six months ended March 31, 2021, our average month-end occupancy rate and the rental spread margin before discount for rental prepayments decreased as compared to the six months ended March 31, 2020 mainly due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.

 

5

As of March 31, 2021, we had short-term borrowings (including the portion of long-term borrowings due within one year) of RMB785.4 million (US$119.9 million) and long-term borrowings (excluding the portion of long-term borrowings due within one year) of RMB448.5 million (US$68.5 million). As of March 31, 2021, long-term loans in the amount of RMB448.5 million (US$68.5 million) would be due for repayment after one year, but within five years. As of March 31, 2021, we had outstanding convertible notes in the principal amount of US$45.5 million.

In July 2020, we executed convertible notes and warrant purchase agreements with investors. As of July 27, 2021, we have raised proceeds of US$48.1 million in aggregate from the investors by issuing convertible notes according to these agreements, and have not incurred issuance cost. Pursuant to these agreements with investors, we are able to issue additional convertible notes to raise proceeds of US$51.9 million in aggregate in the future.

In April 2021, we entered into two bank borrowing extension agreements with Shanghai Huarui Bank (“SHRB”), pursuant to which SHRB extended due date of one borrowing with the principal of RMB100.0 million to February 2022, and due date of the borrowing with the principal of RMB89.4 million to March 2022.

In July 2021, one of our principal shareholders has agreed to consider to provide us with necessary financial support in the form of debt and/or equity, to enable us to meet our other liabilities and commitments as they become due for at least twelve months from the issuance date of this current report.

In July and August 2021, we are planning to raise proceeds through registered direct offering.

Cash Flows

Our net cash used in operating activities in the six months ended March 31, 2021 was RMB77.6 million (US$11.8 million), which was primarily attributable to a net loss of RMB308.0 million (US$47.0 million) adjusted by non-cash items of RMB136.5 million (US$20.8 million) and a net working capital inflow of RMB93.9 million (US$14.3 million). The non-cash items of RMB136.5 million (US$20.8 million) were primarily attributable to (i) depreciation and amortization of RMB49.8 million (US$7.6 million), (ii) impairment loss of RMB42.6 million (US$6.5 million) as we continuously evaluate the rental units and other assets in our portfolio, such as the rental income that we expect to receive, and recognize an impairment loss equal to the difference between the carrying amount and fair value of these assets, and (iii) debt extinguishment cost of RMB$42.0 million (US$6.4 million), partially offset by the deferred rent of RMB42.3 million (US$6.5 million). The net working capital inflow of RMB93.9 million (US$14.3 million) was primarily attributable to (i) an increase in accrued expenses and other current liabilities of RMB78.4 million (US$12.0 million), (ii) an increase in accounts payable of RMB57.6 million (US$8.8 million) and (iii) a decrease in prepaid rent and deposit of RMB39.7 million (US$6.1 million), partially offset by (i) a decrease in deferred revenue of RMB54.1 million (US$8.3 million) and (ii) an increase in other assets of RMB32.0 million (US$4.9 million).

Our net cash used in investing activities in the six months ended March 31, 2021 was RMB3.9 million (US$0.6 million), due to our purchases of property and equipment of RMB3.9 million (US$0.6 million).

Our net cash provided by financing activities in the six months ended March 31, 2021 was RMB68.4 million (US$10.4 million). This was primarily attributable to (i) proceeds from issuance of convertible notes of RMB84.6 million (US$12.9 million), (ii) proceeds from short-term bank borrowings of RMB52.5 million (US$8.0 million) and (iii) proceeds from long-term bank borrowings of RMB39.4 million (US$6.0 million), partially offset by repayment of rental installment loans of RMB124.9 million (US$19.1 million).

We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangement as of March 31, 2021.

Recent Developments

In April 2021, Mr. Bing Xiao has resigned as our director for personal reasons and has no disagreement with us.

In April 2021, we entered into a share charge agreement with Shanghai Huarui Bank Co., Ltd. (“Huarui”) (the “Agreement”). Pursuant to the Agreement, we have charged 77,100,000 of our Class A ordinary shares, which are our treasury shares, and other property in connection with these shares as set forth in the Agreement (collectively, the “Charged Property”), to Huarui (the “Charge”). The Charge is to secure the payment and other obligations of our subsidiaries, as borrowers, under certain loan agreements with Huarui, as lender, with an aggregate outstanding principal amount of RMB383.3 million. If an event of default occurs under these loan agreements, subject to the terms in the Agreement, Huarui will be authorized to arrange for the Charged Property to be registered in the name of Huarui or its nominee, and will be entitled to exercise all voting and/or consensual powers pertaining to the Charged Property following the transfer of the legal title of the Charged Property to Huarui or its nominee. For purposes of the Charge, we issued 77,100,000 Class A ordinary shares to a third party in April 2021, and repurchased all of these shares and held them as treasury shares on the same day.

In July 2020, we entered into a series of asset purchase agreements with Great Alliance Coliving Limited and its affiliates (collectively, “GA”) to acquire assets, including approximately 72,000 apartment rental contracts with leasehold improvements attached to it, and trademarks of Beautiful House. As of March 31, 2021, the remaining consideration for the acquisition consisted of US$23.2 million in cash and RMB289.7 million worth of our Class A ordinary shares which were recorded in the account of “payable for asset acquisition” and “additional paid-in capital”, respectively. In May 2021, we entered into supplemental agreements with GA, pursuant to which we settled the remaining consideration by delivering 186,375,850 Class A ordinary shares to GA. They are entitled to sell these Class A ordinary shares in the open market, subject to certain lock-up arrangements. In addition, among the 186,375,850 Class A ordinary shares delivered, we are obliged to (i) make up the shortfall if the proceeds GA receives from the sale of 57,786,458 Class A ordinary shares are lower than US$0.4014 per share and (ii) repurchase 20,860,749 Class A ordinary shares at US$0.4015 per share in instalments if GA do not trade these shares in the open market, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the agreements with GA.

Updates and risks related to PRC laws and regulations on cybersecurity and data protection

The regulatory framework for the collection, use, safeguarding, sharing, transfer and other processing of personal information and important data worldwide is rapidly evolving in PRC and is likely to remain uncertain for the foreseeable future. Regulatory authorities in China have implemented and are considering a number of legislative and regulatory proposals concerning data protection. For example, the PRC Cyber Security Law, which became effective in June 2017, established China’s first national-level data protection for “network operators,” which may include all organizations in China that connect to or provide services over the internet or other information network. The PRC Data Security Law, which was promulgated by the Standing Committee of PRC National People’s Congress, or the SCNPC, on June 10, 2021 and will become effective on September 1, 2021, outlines the main system framework of data security protection. Furthermore, the Opinions on Strictly Cracking Down on Illegal Securities Activities in Accordance with the Law, or the Opinions on Strictly Cracking Down on Illegal Securities Activities, which were issued by the General Office of the State Council and another authority on July 6, 2021, require the relevant regulators to coordinate and accelerate amendments of legislation on the confidentiality and archive management related to overseas issuance and listing of securities, and to improve the legislation on data security, cross-border data flow and management of confidential information.

In addition, regulations, guidelines and other measures are expected to be adopted. Drafts of some of these laws, regulations or measures have now been published, including (i) the draft rules on cross-border data transfers of personal information and important data published by Cyberspace Administration of China in 2017, which may, upon enactment, require security review before transferring human health-related data out of China (ii) the Draft Personal Information Protection Law promulgated by the SCNPC in 2020 and passed the second deliberation of the SCNPC in April 2021, which outlines the main system framework and comprehensive requirements of personal information protection and processing, and (iii) the draft amendment to the Measures for Cyber Security Review published by Cyberspace Administration of China in July 2021, which provides that, among others, an application for cybersecurity review must be made by an issuer that is a “critical information infrastructure operator” or a “data processing operator” as defined therein before such issuer’s securities become listed in a foreign country, if the issuer possesses personal information of more than 1 million users, and that the relevant governmental authorities in the PRC may initiate cybersecurity review if such governmental authorities determine an operator’s cyber products or services, data processing or potential listing in a foreign country affect or may affect China’s national security.

As there are still uncertainties regarding these new laws and regulations as well as the amendment, interpretation and implementation of the existing laws and regulations related to cybersecurity and data protection, we cannot assure you that we will be able to comply with these laws and regulations in all respects. The regulatory authorities may deem our activities or services non-compliant and therefore require us to suspend or terminate our business. We may also be subject to fines, legal or administrative sanctions and other adverse consequences, and may not be able to become in compliance with relevant laws and regulations in a timely manner, or at all. These may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and reputation.

SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Security and Exchange Commission and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial reporting. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Accordingly, these statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended September 30, 2020 filed on February 16, 2021.
In the opinion of the management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for a fair presentation of financial results for the interim periods presented. The Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the same accounting policies as used in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2020. The results of operations for the six months ended March 31, 2020 and 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full years.
Going concern
The Group has been incurring losses from operations since its inception. Accumulated deficits amounted to RMB 3,809,516 and RMB 4,117,490 as of September 30, 2020 and March 31, 2021, respectively. Net cash used in operating activities were RMB 77,566 and RMB 179,718 for the six months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. As of September 30, 2020 and March 31, 2021, current liabilities exceeded current assets by RMB 1,758,736 and RMB 1,888,126, respectively.
In addition, the Company’s operations have been affected by the outbreak and spread of the coronavirus disease 2019
(COVID-19),
which in March 2020, was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. The
COVID-19
outbreak caused lockdowns, travel restrictions, and closures of businesses. The Company’s businesses have been negatively impacted by the
COVID-19
coronavirus outbreak to a certain extent.
Due to the outbreak of
COVID-19,
in early February 2020, the Chinese government required the nationwide closure of many business activities in the PRC to prevent the spread of
COVID-19
and protect public health. During this period, the Company adopted a defensive strategy after a prudent assessment of the broader macroeconomic downturn by consolidating internal resources, further improving operating efficiencies and focusing on asset quality improvement rather than aggressive expansion. During the six months ended March 31, 2021, the
average month-end occupancy
rate and the rental spread margin before discount for rental prepayments decreased as compared to the same period ended March 31, 2020 mainly due to the impact
of COVID-19.
These factors raise substantial doubt about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Group is unable to continue as a going concern.
The Group intends to meet the cash requirements for the next 12 months from the issuance date of this report through a combination of bank loans, issuance of convertible notes, and principal shareholder’s financial support. The Group will focus on the following activities:
 
  •  
In July 2020, the Company has executed a convertible note and warrant purchase agreement with two investors (Note 7). By the date of this report, the Company issued the several instalments of Notes and raised proceeds aggregating
$48,076
(equivalent to
RMB 329,045
)
from the investor. No issuance cost was incurred. Pursuant to the convertible and warrant purchase agreement with investors, the Company is able to issue additional Notes to raise proceeds of $51,924 in the future; 
 
•
 
In April 2021, the Company entered into two bank borrowing extension agreements with SHRB, pursuant to which the bank extended due date of one borrowing with the principal of RMB 100,000 to February 2022, and due date of the one borrowing with the principal of RMB 89,400 to March 2022,
 
 
•
 
Between July and August 2021, the Company plans raise proceeds through registered direct offering, and
 
 
•
 
In July 2021, a principal shareholder of the Company, has agreed to consider to provide necessary financial support in the form of debt and/or equity, to the Group to enable the Group to meet its other liabilities and commitments as they become due for at least twelve months from the issuance date of this unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
However, future financing requirements will depend on many factors, including the scale and pace of the expansion of the Group’s apartment network, efficiency in apartment operation, including apartment renovation and pricing, the expansion of the Group’s sales and marketing activities, and potential investments in, or acquisitions of, businesses or technologies. Inability to access financing on favorable terms in a timely manner or at all would materially and adversely affect the Group’s business, results of operations, financial condition, and growth prospects.
Capitalization of interest
Interest cost incurred on funds used to construct leasehold improvements during the active construction period is capitalized. The interest capitalized is determined by applying the borrowing interest rate to the average amount of accumulated capital expenditures for the assets under construction during the period. Total interest expenses incurred were RMB 61,518 and RMB 64,287 for the six months ended March 31, 2020 and 2021, respectively, out of which no interest expenses were capitalized during relevant periods.
Land use rights
Land use rights, which are all located in the PRC, are recorded at cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the land certificates, which is between 30 to 50 years. Amortization expense of land use rights for the six months ended March 31, 2020 and 2021 amounted to RMB143 and RMB143, respectively.
Impairment of long-lived assets
The Group evaluates its long-lived assets and finite lived intangibles for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. When these events occur, the Group measures impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the assets to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the assets, the Group recognizes an impairment loss equal to the difference between the carrying amount and fair value of these assets.
The Group performed an impairment test of its long-lived assets associated with certain apartments due to the continued underperformance relative to the projected operating results, and recognized impairment losses of RMB 250,048 and RMB 42,584 during the six months ended March 31, 2020 and 2021, respectively.
Capital lease and other financing arrangement
Leases of leasehold improvements or furniture, fixtures and equipment that transfer to the Group substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership by the end of the lease term are classified as capital leases. The leasehold improvements and liability are measured initially at an amount equal to the lower of their fair value or the present value of the minimum lease payments. Subsequent to initial recognition, the assets are accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to that asset.
Minimum lease payments made under capital leases are apportioned between the finance expense and the reduction of the outstanding lease liability. The finance expense is allocated to each period during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the lease liability.
The Company started to cooperate with a rental service company to source and renovate apartments since August 2018. For certain identified newly sourced apartments, the rental service company reimburses the Company for costs incurred for the renovation. The Company then makes payments to the rental service company in installments equal to the reimbursed renovation costs plus interest and tax over a period of five years. At the end of the five-year period, the ownership of the renovation will be transferred to the Company. The Company accounts for this arrangement with the rental service company as a capital lease.
As of March 31, 2021, the Company had capital lease payable of RMB 68,080. The leasehold improvements or furniture, fixtures and equipment used in apartments obtained under such capital lease arrangements are with aggregate initial value of RMB 136,146 and carrying value of RMB 42,073 as of March 31, 2021.
Under the same arrangement above, the Company also sells leasehold improvements and furniture, fixtures and equipment of certain existing apartments to the rental service company at carrying value and simultaneously leases them back. Such transaction fails sales and lease-back accounting and is accounted for as a financing arrangement. The proceeds received from the rental service company are reported as other financing arrangement payable. As of March 31, 2021, the Company has RMB 388,537 other financing arrangement payable. The underlying leasehold improvements and furniture, fixtures and equipment are with aggregate initial value of RMB 374,609 and carrying value of RMB 115,765 as of March 31, 2021.
Lease accounting with tenants
The Group sources apartments from landlords and converts them into standardized furnished rooms to lease to tenants seeking affordance residences in China. Revenues are primarily derived from the lease payments from its tenants and are recorded net of tax.
The Group typically enters into 12 to
26-month
leases with tenants and a majority of which have a
lock-in
period of 12 months or longer. The
lock-in
period represents the term during which termination will result in the forfeiture of deposit, which is typically 1 or 2 months’ rent. The Group determines that the
lock-in
period is the lease term under ASC 840. Upon termination of leases, the Group returns unused portions of any prepaid rentals to the tenant within a prescribed period of time. Deposit can only be returned for termination after
lock-in
period. Monthly rent is fixed throughout the lease term and there is no rent- free period or rent escalations during the period. The Group determines all lease arrangements with tenants are operating leases since the benefits and risks incidental to ownership remains with the Group. Revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis starting from the commencement date stated in the lease agreements.
In April 2020, the Group started to modify arrangements with a rental service company for apartments in certain cities. For some apartments under this arrangement, the Group no longer leases in apartments from the rental service company or enters into new
lease-out
agreements with tenants. Instead, the Group transferred existing leases with tenants to the rental service company. The rental service company maintains the
lease-in
agreements with the landlords of the apartments, collects rental from the tenants directly and enters into
lease-out
agreements with new tenants directly. The Group and a third-party contractor are engaged by the rental service company to manage these apartments. Pursuant to this arrangement, the Group is responsible for supervising the third-party contractor including in its identification of potential tenants and daily operation, and receives fee income equals to the rental income from tenants minus the rental fee to landlords. For each of these apartments, if the rental collected from the tenants is less than the rental paid to the landlords, the Group is required to pay the rental service company this difference. As of March 31, 2021, the Group had transferred 25,375 of its rental units contracted and managed these rental units under this modified arrangement. Referring to ASC
840-10-15-6(a),
the Group determines that it
leases-in
apartments from the rental service company, and
leased-out
apartment to tenants through the rental service company, because the Group has the ability and right to operate the apartments while obtaining more than a minor amount of the output of the apartments. The lease term ranged between 12 and 26 months, and a majority of which have a
lock-in
period of 12 months or longer. Monthly rent with tenants is fixed throughout the lease term and there is no rent-free period or rent escalations during the period. The Group determines all lease arrangements with tenants are operating leases since the benefits and risks incidental to ownership remains with the Group. Revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis starting from the commencement date stated in the lease agreements.
The
gross
cost for leasehold improvements and furniture, fixtures and equipment used in apartments were RMB 403,191 and RMB 191,117, respectively, the accumulated depreciation was RMB 136,692 and RMB 46,539, respectively and the impairment losses was RMB 132,278 and RMB 89,850, respectively as of March 31, 2021. Future rentals expected to be collected from outstanding leases existing as of March 31, 2021 totaled RMB 488,482, for which RMB 324,084 and RMB 164,398 to be collected for the year ending September 30, 2021 and 2022, respectively.
Rental incentives
Tenants who prepay rent are entitled to rental discounts. Tenants who prepay rent of at least the first six months of the lease term can enjoy a 5% rental discount, and tenants who prepay at least the first twelve months of lease term rental can enjoy a 10% rental discount (subject to a RMB200 limit per month). Such incentives are only applicable during the
lock-in
period. The Group considers the rental discounts as a lease incentive and records it as a reduction in revenue on a straight line basis over the lease term. The Group recorded RMB 11,765 and RMB 3,980 of rental incentives for the six months ended March 31, 2020 and 2021, respectively.
Lease accounting with landlords
The Group leases apartments from landlords usually for a period of five to six years which may be extended for an additional three or two years at the discretion of the landlords. Since all the benefits and risks incidental to ownership remains with the landlord, the Group determines that these arrangements are operating leases. The Group typically negotiates a rent free period of
90-120
days and locks in a fixed rent for the first three years and approximately 5% annual,
non-compounding
increase for the rest of the lease period. As such, typically all leases with landlords contain rent holidays and fixed escalations of rental payments during the lease term. The Group determines the lease term under ASC 840 to include the years that can be early terminated by the landlords. The Group records total lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term and the difference between the straight-line lease expense and cash payments under the lease is recorded as deferred rent on the unaudited consolidated balance sheets. As of September 30, 2020 and March 31, 2021, deferred rent of RMB 2,503 and RMB 8,443 were recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and RMB 212,054 and RMB 164,308 were recorded as long-term deferred rent, respectively.
Rental expense to the landlords recorded in unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive losses were RMB 512,753 and RMB 506,225 for the six months ended March 31, 2020 and 2021, respectively.
Treasury shares
The Company accounts for treasury shares using the cost method. Under this method, the cost incurred to purchase the shares is recorded in the treasury shares account on the consolidated balance sheets. At retirement of the treasury shares, the ordinary shares account is charged only for the aggregate par value of the shares. The excess of the acquisition cost of treasury shares over the aggregate par value is allocated between additional paid- in capital (up to the amount credited to the additional
paid-in
capital upon original issuance of the shares) and retained earnings.
For the year ended September 30, 2020, the Group repurchased 77,250,000 ordinary shares from certain major investors in the IPO, through cash payment of RMB 248,859 and issuance of convertible notes of RMB 49,251 (equivalent to $7,232
). As of March 31, 2021, the Company transferred treasury shares of
77,250,000
to one of its debtors as a debt extinguishment cost, with a fair value of RMB 41,964, or $6,405.
The fair value is determined at the trading price of per share price of
 $0.083 on the date of transferring treasury shares. As of March 31, 2021, the Company had
no
outstanding treasury shares.
Convenience translation
The Group’s business is primarily conducted in the PRC and all of the revenues are denominated in RMB. The financial statements of the Group are stated in RMB. Translations of balances in the consolidated balance sheet, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive loss, shareholders’ equity and cash flows from RMB into US dollars as of and for the six months ended March 31, 2021 are solely for the convenience of the readers and were calculated at the rate of USD1.00=RMB 6.5518, representing the noon buying rate set forth in the H.10 statistical release of the U.S. Federal Reserve Board on March 31, 2021. No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted, realized or settled into USD at that rate on March 31, 2021, or at any other rate.
Fair value
The Group 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.
The established fair value hierarchy 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. The three levels of inputs may be used to measure fair value include:
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 assets 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 assets 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.
The Group’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, amounts due from related parties, accounts payable, amounts due to related parties, short-term debt, rental installment loans, deposits from tenants, other current liabilities, long-term debt, convertible note, and contingent
earn-out
liabilities.
The following table summarizes the fair value of the Group’s financial liabilities that are accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis, by level within the fair value hierarchy, for the six months ended March 31, 2020 and 2021:

The Group determines the fair value with the help from third party professional valuation specialists, and the assumptions used in estimating fair value require significant judgment. The use of different assumptions and judgments could result in a materially different estimate of fair value. Key inputs in determining the fair value of the contingent
earn-out
liabilities include assumptions such as operating income, operating cost, number of new apartments acquired, probabilities of qualified IPO, etc., and changes in these assumptions would affect the number and value of future additional shares to be issued. Contingent
earn-out
liabilities are classified in Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. The contingent earn-out liabilities related to the EBITDA feature of Series C and Series C-1 convertible redeemable preferred shares at fair value, and all the holders of the Series C-2, Series C-1 and Series C convertible redeemable preferred shares have waived the EBITDA feature upon IPO in November 2019. As of March 31, 2021 and September 30, 2020, the Company had no contingent earn-out liabilities.

Fair value of the property and equipment was determined by the Group based on the income approach using the discounted cash flow associated with the underlying assets, which incorporated certain assumptions including projected rooms’ revenue, growth rates and projected operating costs based on current economic condition, expectation of management and projected trends of current operating results. As a result, the Group has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its property and equipment are unobservable inputs that fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The revenue growth rate and the discount rate were the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement, which were 4% and 10% for the six months ended March 31, 2020 and 3% and 11% for the six months ended March 31, 2021, respectively.
As a result of reduced expectations of future cash flows from certain leased apartments, the Group determined that the property and equipment was not fully recoverable and consequently recorded impairment charges of RMB 250,048 and RMB 16,004 for the six months ended March 31, 2020 and 2021, respectively.
The Group acquired from Great Alliance Coliving Limited. and its affiliates (“Beautiful House”) certain assets, including approximately 72,000 apartment rental contracts and leasehold improvements attached to the apartments, and trademarks of Beautiful House. The Company determined the estimated fair values using Level 3 inputs after review and consideration of relevant information, which are unobservable inputs that fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
 
  •  
The apartment rental agreements with both landlords and tenants were valued using the multiperiod excess earnings method, which incorporated certain assumptions including projected rooms’ revenue, growth rates and projected operating costs based on current economic condition, expectation of management and projected trends of current operating results. The revenue growth rate and the discount rate were the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement, which were negative 12.5% and 19%, and
 
  •  
T
he trademarks were valued using the relief from royalty method, which incorporated certain assumptions including projected revenues contributed by trademarks, royalty savings and projected trends of operating results. The revenue growth rate and the discount rate were the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement, which were negative 10% and 19%
As of March 31, 2021, the Group reviewed the fair value of the apartment rental agreements based on the income approach using the discounted cash flow associated with the underlying assets, which incorporated certain assumptions including projected rooms’ revenue, growth rates and projected operating costs based on current economic condition, expectation of management and projected trends of current operating results. As a result, the Group has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its property and equipment are unobservable inputs that fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The revenue growth rate and the discount rate were the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement, which were 3% and 11%
for the six months ended March 31, 2021. As a result of reduced expectations of future cash flows from certain leased apartments, the Group consequently recorded impairment charges of RMB
26,580 for the six months ended March 31, 2021
.
The financial instruments primarily including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, account receivables, amounts due from related parties, account payables, amounts due to related parties, short-term debt, rental installment loans, deposits from tenants, other liabilities, are carried at cost which approximates their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The convertible note and long-term debt approximates their fair values, because the bearing interest rate approximates market interest rate, and market interest rates have not fluctuated significantly since the commencement of loan contracts signed.
Recent accounting pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU
2016-02,
Leases (Topic 842). The guidance supersedes existing guidance on accounting for leases with the main difference being that operating leases are to be recorded in the statement of financial position as
right-of-use
assets and lease liabilities, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments. For operating leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election not to recognize lease assets and liabilities. For public business entities, the guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including final periods within those fiscal years. In transition, entities are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU
No. 2018-10
Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases and ASU
No. 2018-11,
Leases (Topic 842), Targeted Improvements. ASU
No. 2018-10
affects narrow aspects of the guidance issued in the amendments in Update
2016-02
and ASU
No. 2018-11
allows for an additional optional transition method where comparative periods presented in the financial statements in the period of adoption will not be restated and instead, companies will recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU

2016-02.
The Group is an EGC and expects to adopt ASU
2016-02
utilizing the optional transition approach allowed under ASU
2018-11
and apply the package of practical expedients beginning October 1, 2021. The Group expects material changes to its consolidated balance sheet to recognize
right-of-use
lease assets and related lease liabilities for operating leases. The Group is in the process of evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU
2016-13, Credit
Losses, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This ASU provides more useful information about expected credit losses to financial statement users and changes how entities will measure credit losses on financial instruments and timing of when such losses should be recognized. This ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for all entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods therein. The updates should be applied through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective (that is, a modified-retrospective approach). ASU
2019-10
amends the effective dates for ASU
2016-13.
The Group is an EGC and has elected to adopt the new standard as of the effective date applicable to nonissuers and will implement the new standard on October 1, 2023. The Group is in the process of evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

7
issuances of Notes of $44,130
 
(approximately RMB

The conversion price is as follows:
 
  (1)
the conversion price is calculated as
 
120
% of the 30-Trading Day VWAP as of the issue date of each Note, or
 
  (2)
if the Company completes an ADS offering of at least $50,000 within eighteen (18) months after the issuance date of this Note, eighty percent (80)% of the issue price per ADS in such offering, such adjusted conversion price shall be effective on the day immediately succeeding the closing date of the ADS offering.
The conversion price is subject to adjustment in the event of a Make Whole Fundamental Change, as defined in the Purchase Agreement.

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company utilized Yijia Inc., a company controlled by the Founder as a vehicle to hold shares that will be used to provide incentives and rewards to employees and executives who contribute to the success of the Company’s operations. According to the Group’s board resolutions, in July 2017 and March 2018, 86 million shares were reserved to Yijia Inc. Yijia Inc. has no activities other than administrating the incentive program and does not have any employees. On behalf of the Group and subject to approvals from the board or directors, the Founder has the authority to select eligible participants to whom equity awards will be granted; determine the number of shares covered; and establish the terms, conditions and provision of such awards. The board resolutions allow the grantees to hold options to purchase from the Yijia Inc. the equity shares of the Company.
All the share information disclosed in this section refers to the shares of the Group the grantees are entitled through Yijia Inc. shares. The related expenses are reflected in the Group’s consolidated financial statements as share-based compensation expenses with an offset to
756
additional
paid-in
capital. Given the shares owned by Yijia Inc. for the purpose of the incentive program are existing and outstanding shares of the Group, the options do not have any dilution effect on the loss per share (see Note 10).
Stock Option A
On August 31, 2014, April 21, 2016, October 17, 2016 and October 18, 2016, the Group granted an aggregate number of 26.86 million share options to certain management, employees and
non-employees
of the Group. Under the plan, the exercise price was US$0.31 (RMB2.00) per share and vests 50% on the first and second anniversary after the IPO date. All grantees were restricted from transferring more than 25% of their total exercised ordinary shares each year after the exercise date. Given the vesting was contingent on the IPO and vested on the first and second anniversary after the IPO date, no share-based compensation expense is recognized until the date of IPO. As of March 31, 2021, no share options were vested or exercised. As of March 31, 2021, the number of outstanding options is 10,600,000, which was equal to the number of option expected to be vested. Because the exercise price is out of money, the weighted average intrinsic value of the outstanding options and the options expected to vest was RMB nil.
Stock Option B
On July 31, 2017, the Group granted 43.14 million share options to management and employees of the Group. The options vested immediately upon the grant date and the exercise price were US$0.31 (RMB2.00) per share. All grantees were restricted from transferring its exercised ordinary shares during certain periods subsequent to the IPO date (the
“lock-up
period”). If the grantee resigned from the Group before the IPO or during the
lock-up
period, the Group has the right to repurchase the share options or ordinary shares at the exercise price. The Group believes that the repurchase feature is effectively to require the employee to remain throughout the requisite period in order to receive any economic benefit from the award. As such, the repurchase feature functions as a vesting condition that is contingent on the IPO, no share-based compensation expense is recognized until the date of IPO. As of March 31, 2021, the Company had 30,200,000 share options outstanding, vested and exercisable. Because the exercise price is out of money, the weighted average intrinsic value of these share options were RMB nil.
Binomial options pricing model was applied in determining the estimated fair value of the options granted. The model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions including the estimated expected stock price volatility and, the exercise multiple for which employees are likely to exercise share options. The estimated fair value of the ordinary shares, at the option grants, was determined with assistance from an independent third party valuation firm. The Group’s management is ultimately responsible for the determination of the estimated fair value of its ordinary shares.

The Group recognized the compensation cost for the stock options on a straight line basis over the requisite service periods.
Given the vesting was contingent on the IPO, no share-based compensation expense is recognized until the date of the IPO. For the six months ended March 31, 2020 and 2021, the Group recorded compensation expenses of RMB nil and RMB 685 in connection with the above stock options.
Restricted Share Units (“RSU”)
2017 RSU
In 2017, the Group issued 15.99 million RSU to a consulting company, of which 5.2 million RSU vested immediately upon grant, and the Group has the right to repurchase the remaining 10.79 million RSU anytime at its discretion with nominal price before certain dates (“repurchase rights”). The Group determined RSU with repurchase rights are not considered issued until the expiration of such rights. At each of the expiration dates, the corresponding RSU are considered issued and vested immediately, and a measurement date has been reached.
Under such arrangement, the Group recorded 2.6 million, 2.6 million, 2.8 million, 2.8 million and 2.6 million RSU at the measurement date fair value per share of US$0.05, US$0.06, US$0.10, US$0.20 and US$0.25 on March 16, 2017, November 12, 2017, April 1, 2018, December 1, 2018 and April 1, 2019, respectively. In July 2019, the Group repurchased total 5.19 million RSUs.
The fair value of RSU was determined by reference to the fair value of ordinary shares of the Group and was appraised by an independent valuation firm.
2021 RSU
In March 2021, the Group issued 25 million RSU to a consulting company, all of which vested immediately upon grant. Under such arrangement, the Group recorded 25 million RSU at the measurement date fair value per share of US$0.09 by reference to the share price in the open market on grant date.
The total expenses recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss for the aforementioned RSUs granted were RMB nil and RMB 14,664, respectively for the six months ended March 31, 2020 and 2021, respectively.

INCOME TAXES
Cayman Islands
Under the current laws of the Cayman Islands, the Company, Q&K International Group Limited is not subject to tax on income or capital gain.
BVI Islands
Under the current laws of the British Virgin Islands (“BVI”), the Company, QK365.com Inc. incorporated in BVI is not subject to tax on income or capital gain.
Hong Kong
QingKe (China) Limited is subject to Hong Kong profit tax. The applicable tax rate for the first Hong Kong dollar (“HKD$”) $2,000 of assessable profits is 8.25% and assessable profits above HKD$2,000 will continue to be subject to the rate of 16.5% for corporations in Hong Kong, effective from the year of assessment 2018/2019. No Hong Kong profit tax has been provided as the Group has not had assessable profit that was earned in or derived from Hong Kong during the years presented.
United States of America
The Group’s subsidiary in the U.S. is registered in the state of Delaware and is subject to a flat U.S. federal corporate marginal income tax rate of 21% and state income tax rate of 8.7% respectively.
PRC
Under the Law of the People’s Republic of China on Enterprise Income Tax (“EIT Law”), which was effective from January 1, 2008, domestically-owned enterprises and foreign-invested enterprises are subject to a uniform tax rate of 25%.
Tax expense consisted current tax expenses of RMB 26 and RMB 25 for the six months ended March 31, 2020 and 2021, respectively.
The Group considers positive and negative evidence to determine whether some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will more likely than not be realized. This assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of recent losses, forecasts of future profitability, the duration of statutory carryforward periods, the Group’s experience with tax attributes expiring unused and tax planning alternatives. Valuation allowances have been established for deferred tax assets based on a more likely than not threshold. The Group’s ability to realize deferred tax assets depends on its ability to generate sufficient taxable income within the carryforward periods provided for in the tax law.
According to the PRC Tax Administration and Collection Law, the statute of limitations is three years if the underpayment of income taxes is due to computational errors made by the taxpayer. The statute of limitations will be extended to five years under special circumstances, which are not clearly defined, but an underpayment of income tax liability exceeding RMB100 is specifically listed as a special circumstance. In the case of a transfer pricing related adjustment, the statute of limitations is ten years. There is no statute of limitations in the case of tax evasion. The Group’s PRC subsidiaries are therefore subject to examination by the PRC tax authorities from 2015 through 2020 on
non-transfer
pricing matters, and from 2010 through 2020 on transfer pricing matters.
In accordance with the EIT Law, dividends, which arise from profits of foreign invested enterprises (“FIEs”) earned after January 1, 2008, are subject to a 10% withholding income tax. In addition, under tax treaty between the PRC and Hong Kong, if the foreign investor is incorporated in Hong Kong and qualifies as the beneficial owner, the applicable withholding tax rate is reduced to 5%, if the investor holds at least 25% in the FIE, or 10%, if the investor holds less than 25% in the FIE. A deferred tax liability should be recognized for the undistributed profits of PRC subsidiaries unless the Company has sufficient evidence to demonstrate that the undistributed dividends will be reinvested and the remittance of the dividends will be postponed indefinitely. The Group plans to indefinitely reinvest undistributed profits earned from its China subsidiaries in its operations in the PRC. Therefore, no withholding income taxes for undistributed profits of the Group’s subsidiaries have been provided as of September 30, 2020 and March 31, 2021.
Under applicable accounting principles, a deferred tax liability should be recorded for taxable temporary differences attributable to the excess of financial reporting basis over tax basis in a domestic subsidiary. However, recognition is not required in situations where the tax law provides a means by which the reported amount of that investment can be recovered
tax-free
and the enterprise expects that it will ultimately use that means. The Group completed its feasibility analysis on a method, which the Group will ultimately execute if necessary to repatriate the undistributed earnings of the VIE without significant tax costs. As such, the Group does not accrue deferred tax liabilities on the earnings of the VIE given that the Group will ultimately use the means.
Aggregate undistributed earnings of the Group’s PRC subsidiaries and VIE that are available for distribution was not material as of September 30, 2020 and March 31, 2021.
 
12.
STATUTORY RESERVES AND NET RESTRICTED ASSETS
The Company’s ability to pay dividends is primarily dependent on the Company receiving distributions of funds from its subsidiaries. Relevant PRC statutory laws and regulations permit payments of dividends by the VIE and subsidiaries of the VIE incorporated in PRC only out of their retained earnings, if any, as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. The consolidated results of operations reflected in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP differ from those reflected in the statutory financial statements of the Company’s subsidiaries.
Under PRC law, the Company’s subsidiaries and consolidated VIEs located in the PRC (collectively referred as the (“PRC entities”) are required to provide for certain statutory reserves, namely a general reserve, an enterprise expansion fund and a staff welfare and bonus fund. The PRC entities are required to allocate at least 10% of their after tax profits on an individual company basis as determined under PRC accounting standards to the statutory reserve and has the right to discontinue allocations to the statutory reserve if such reserve has reached 50% of registered capital on an individual company basis. In addition, the registered capital of the PRC entities is also restricted.
Amounts restricted including
paid-in
capital and statutory reserve funds as determined pursuant to PRC Laws were RMB 930,525 as of September 30, 2020 and March 31, 2021, respectively.

(c) Contingencies
During the year ended September 30, 2020, the Group, via short message notification, early terminated certain apartment rental agreements with landlords. As of March 31, 2021, the Group estimated the contingent compensation expenses due to landlords as follows:
 
  •  
Certain landlords had disputes on the early termination and entered into legal proceedings against the Group for compensation aggregating RMB 5,211. The Company estimated it exposed to the compensation of RMB 5,211 and recorded the contingent liability in the account of “accrued expenses and other current liabilities”.
 
  •  
Certain landlords had disputes but did not enter into legal proceedings against the Company. These landlords had rights to file legal proceedings against the Group within 3 years from the short message notification, for a maximum compensation of RMB 51,924, which is three times of the rental agreement value. However the Group estimated the likelihood of the legal proceeding as reasonably possible though these landlords has not initiated legal proceedings as of the report date. In addition, the compensation amount will be negotiated with each individual landlord, the amount of compensation cannot be reasonably estimated as of the date of report date. As of March 31, 2021, the Group did not accrue the contingent liability in the balance sheet.
 
  •  
Certain landlords did not reply to the Group’s short message within three months, which legally implied that they agreed with the termination, and the Group is not obliged to compensation for these landlords.
The Group is subject to periodic legal or administrative proceedings in the ordinary course of business. Except for the above mentioned contingencies, the Group does not believe that any currently pending legal or administrative proceeding to which the Group is a party will have a material effect on its business or financial condition.
