1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Principal activities

PlusAI Corp (the “Company” or “PlusAI”) was incorporated in the Cayman Islands as an exempted company with limited liability on September 7, 2016. The Company and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the “Group”.

The Group engages primarily in developing and provision of self-driving technology and solutions to its customers. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020, its primary operations are research and development activities, and the Group has not generated major revenue.

As of December 31, 2020, the Company’s principal subsidiaries are as follows:

The Group commenced its business operations in June 2016 through PlusAI Inc. To facilitate the offshore financing, the Company was formed in September 2016. Upon the establishment of the Company, the shareholders of PlusAI Inc. entered into the share swap agreements with the Company, through which PlusAI Inc. became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Reorganization”). As the shareholders of the Company and PlusAI Inc. were mirrored with the same ownership immediately before and after the Reorganization, the Reorganization was determined to be a recapitalization and accounted for in a manner of a common control transaction. 2

2. SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Basis of presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) for the periods presented.

For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020, the Group’s primary operations are research and development activities and its principal operations which is the provision of self-driving technology and solutions have not commenced. As of December 31, 2020, the total shareholders’ deficit was US$196,299,259 with the accumulated deficit of US$196,822,987. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Group had net loss of US$39,267,011 and net operating cash outflow of US$29,311,734. The principal sources of funding have historically been and are expected to continue to be the cash contributions from preferred shareholders before the Group commences its principal operations. As of December 31, 2020, the balance of cash and cash equivalent was US$42,703,313 with the net current asset of US$31,118,586. Taking this into the consideration, management is of the opinion that the Group has sufficient funds for sustainable operations and it will be able to meet its payment obligations from operations and debt related commitments for the next twelve months from the issuance of the consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, the Group’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

(b) Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. All transactions and balances among the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Subsidiaries are entities in which the Company, directly or indirectly, controls more than one half of the voting power; has the power to appoint or remove the majority of the members of the board of directors; to cast a majority of votes at the meeting of the board of directors or to govern the financial and operating policies of the investee under a statute or agreement among the shareholders or equity holders.

Significant accounting policies adopted by the Group in the preparation of its accompanying consolidated financial statements are summarized below.

(c) Use of estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, the Group’s management reviews these estimates based on information that is currently available. Changes in facts and circumstances may cause the Group to revise its estimates. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Group’s consolidated financial statements include useful lives of property and equipment, impairment of long-lived assets, valuation of share-based compensation arrangements, fair value of ordinary shares, convertible redeemable preferred shares and warrants liabilities as well as valuation allowance of deferred tax assets.

(d) Functional currency and foreign currency translation

The determination of the respective functional currency is based on the criteria of ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters. The functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries in Hong Kong and the United States is the United States dollar (“U.S. dollar”). The Company’s subsidiary in PRC uses Renminbi (“RMB”) as its functional currency.

Transactions denominated in currencies other than functional currencies are translated into functional currencies at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the Statement of Comprehensive Loss. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currencies using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. All such exchange gains and losses are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss.

The reporting currency of the Group is U.S. dollar (“US$”). Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates at the balance sheet date, equity accounts are translated at historical exchange rates and revenues, expenses, gains and losses are translated using the average rate for the period. Translation adjustments are reported as accumulated other comprehensive income and are shown as a separate component of other comprehensive income in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.

2. SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(e) Fair value measurements

The Group defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell 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 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, short-term investments, other receivable, accounts payable, warrants liabilities and loan and other payables. Except for short-term investments and warrants liabilities which are measured at fair value, the carrying values of these financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.

2. SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(e) Fair value measurements (continued)

The roll forward of Level 3 financial instrument is as following:

The Company estimated the fair value of warrant liabilities using the Binomial option pricing model with the following unobservable inputs:

(f) Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash

Cash includes currency on hand and deposits held by financial institutions that can be withdrawn without limitation. Cash equivalents represent short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and with original maturities of three months or less.

Restricted cash is restricted to withdrawal for use or pledged as security is reported separately on the face of the consolidated balance sheets. The Group’s restricted cash mainly represents the secured deposits restricted in designated bank accounts pursuant to agreements with bank for purpose of issuance of bank credit card.

(g) Long-term investment

The Group accounts for the long-term investment in an entity in which it can exercise significant influence under equity-method accounting. Under this method, the Group’s pro rata share of income (loss) from an investment is recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. Dividends received reduce the carrying amount of the investment. Equity-method investment is subject to a review for impairment if, and when, circumstances indicate that a decline in value below the carrying amount may have occurred. When the Group considers the decline to be other than temporary, the Group would write down the related investment to its estimated fair market value.

No event had occurred that indicated that other-than-temporary impairment existed and therefore the Group did not record any impairment charges for its investment for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020.

The Group did not receive any dividends during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020.

2. SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(h) Property and equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment loss, if any. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives.

The R&D equipment are mainly comprised of trucks, sensors, lidars, servers, cabin integration and wiring used for the Company’s research and development (“R&D”) activities.

The cost of maintenance and repairs is expensed as incurred, whereas the cost of renewals and betterment that extends the useful lives of property and equipment is capitalized as additions to the related assets. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from their respective accounts, and any gain or loss on such sale or disposal is reflected in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss.

(i) Impairment of long-lived assets

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Determination of recoverability is based on an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. Measurement of any impairment loss for long-lived assets that management expects to hold and use is based on the amount the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset.

When impairment is recognized, the adjusted carrying amount of the underlying long-lived assets becomes their carrying value as the new cost basis. The new cost basis is depreciated over the remaining useful lives of the assets. No impairment charge was recognized for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020.

2. SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(j) Revenue Recognition

The Group adopted ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, for all periods presented.

The Group’s revenue is expected to be primarily derived from the provision of the self-driving technology and solutions to its customers. As of December 31, 2020, the pertinent technology was still under development with no revenue generated.

For the furtherance of its research and development activities, the Group provided truckload transportation services to third parties customers using the Group’s vehicles. Revenue is recognized over time as the Group performs the services in the contract because of the continuous transfer of control to the customer. The Group’s customers receive the benefit of the Company’s services as the goods are transported from one location to another. If the Company were unable to complete delivery to the final location, another entity would not need to re-perform the freight service already performed. As control transfers over time, revenue is recognized based on the extent of progress towards completion of the performance obligation. The selection of the method to measure progress towards completion requires judgment and is based on the nature of the products or services to be provided. Management estimates the progress based on mileage completed to total mileage to be transported which is usually completed within a day. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020, revenue for transportation services were US$40,334 and US$93,648, respectively. As of December 31, 2019 and 2020, all the transportation services were completed.

(k) Cost of revenue

Cost of revenue comprises primarily of depreciation expenses and labor cost that are associated with the equipment and personnel used for the transportation services.

(l) General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation expenses (including share-based compensation) for general and administrative personnel, office rental, depreciation and other expenses incurred by the Group’s management and administrative departments.

2. SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(m) Research and development expenses

Research and development expenses consist primarily of compensation expenses (including share-based compensation) for engineering and technical employee, depreciation expenses, equipment-related expenses and professional services fees primarily related to consulting and outsourcing services to developing self-driving technology and other research and development expenses. Research and development is expensed when incurred.

(n) Employee benefits

The employees of the Group are entitled to staff welfare benefits including medical care, welfare subsidies, unemployment insurance, pension benefits and housing fund. The Group is required to contribute to these benefits based on certain percentages of the employees’ salaries in accordance with the relevant arrangements of the defined contribution plans in China and United States and charge the amount contributed to these benefits to the statement of comprehensive loss. The total amounts charged to the statement of comprehensive loss for such employee benefits amounted to US$1,486,600 and US$1,485,481 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020, respectively.

(o) Government grants

The Group received government subsidies from certain local governments. The Group’s government subsidies consisted of specific subsidies and other subsidies. Specific subsidies are provided by local government for specific purposes and conditions, such as product or technology development or asset acquisition. Other subsidies are provided by local government without any condition and the subsidies do not have to be refunded under any circumstances. The Group recorded specific subsidies as deferred income when received. Upon government acceptance of completion of the related project development or asset acquisition, the specific purpose subsidies are recognized as other operating income upon government’s acceptance or over the useful life of the related assets acquired on the same basis for depreciation. Other subsidies are recognized as other operating income upon receipt.

(p) Share-based compensation

The Group follows ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, to determine whether a share award should be classified and accounted for as a liability award or equity award. All grants of share-based awards to employees and management classified as equity awards are recognized in the financial statements based on their grant date fair values. Share-based compensation awards are recognized as expenses over the service period using the straight-line method. The Group recognizes the effect of forfeitures in compensation expenses when they occur.

The Group early adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-07, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting to be consistent with its ASC 606 adoption date as of January 1, 2018. Upon the adoption of this guidance, the Company no longer re-measures equity-classified share-based awards granted to consultants or non-employees at each reporting date through the vesting date and the accounting for these share-based awards to consultants or non-employees and employees will be substantially aligned. The impact of the adoption is not material.

2. SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

The fair value of the restricted shares was assessed using the income approaches and market approaches, 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 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 non-employee share option exercise behavior, risk-free interest rates and expected dividends. The fair value of these awards was determined with the assistance of independent valuation advice.

Under ASC 840, Leases where substantially all the rewards and risks of ownership of assets remain with the lessor are accounted for as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases, net of any incentives received by the Group from the lessor, are charged to the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss on a straight-line basis over the lease periods.

Current income taxes are provided on the basis of net income 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. Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to differences between the tax bases and financial reporting amounts 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. Valuation allowances are established when it is more likely than not that such deferred tax assets will not be realized.

The Company recognizes a tax benefit associated with an uncertain tax position when, in management's judgment, it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority. Significant judgment is required in evaluating the Group's uncertain tax positions and determining its provision for income taxes. The Group recognizes interests and penalties, if any, under accrued liabilities and other current liabilities on its consolidated balance sheets and under income tax expenses. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020, the Company did not provide any provision for uncertain tax positions.

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders, considering the accretion on convertible redeemable preferred shares to redemption value and deemed dividends to preferred shareholders, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period using the two-class method. Under the two-class method, net loss is not allocated to other participating securities if based on their contractual terms they are not obligated to share in the loss.

Diluted net loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities to issue ordinary shares were exercised. The dilutive effect of outstanding share-based awards is reflected in the diluted net loss per share by application of the if-converted method and treasury stock method, respectively. Dilutive equivalent shares are excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share if their effects would be anti-dilutive.

2. SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Comprehensive (loss)/income is defined as the change in equity of the Group during the period from transactions and other events and circumstances excluding transactions resulting from investments from owners and distributions to owners. Accumulated other comprehensive (loss)/income, as presented on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, consist of cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments.

Dividends are recognized when declared. No dividends were declared for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020.

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. The Group’s CODM only reviews consolidated results including expenses and operating loss at a consolidated level only. This resulted in one operating and reportable segment in the Group.

The Company’s long-lived assets are located in United States and PRC. The following table presents long-lived assets by geographic area as of December 31, 2019 and 2020.

2. SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

The Company qualifies as an "emerging growth company", or EGC, pursuant to the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, as amended, or the JOBS Act. As an EGC, the Company can elect to not adopt 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. The Company adopts the following standards based on extended transition period provided to private companies or early adopts as necessary as permitted by the respective standards.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)" ("ASU 2016-02"), which requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for all leases with lease terms of more than 12 months on the balance sheets. Under the new guidance, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. The Group will be required to recognize and measure leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented using a modified retrospective approach, with certain practical expedients available. For the Group, this ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Group will not early adopt this ASU and is in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting this standard.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326), to provide financial statement users with more useful information about expected credit losses. ASU 2016-13 also changes how entities measure credit losses on financial instruments and the timing of when such losses are recorded. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company in the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Group will not early adopt this ASU and is in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting this standard.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for

Income Taxes. This update simplifies the accounting for income taxes as part of the FASB’s overall initiative to reduce complexity in accounting standards. The amendments include removal of certain exceptions to the general principles of ASC 740, Income taxes, and simplification in several other areas such as accounting for a franchise tax (or similar tax) that is partially based on income. ASU 2019-12 is effective for the Company in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. Certain amendments in this update should be applied retrospectively or modified retrospectively, all other amendments should be applied prospectively. The Group will not early adopt this ASU and is in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting this standard.

In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01, Investments — Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments — Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815, which clarifies the interaction of the accounting for equity investments under Topic 321 and investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting in Topic 323 and the accounting for certain forward contracts and purchased options accounted for under Topic 815. ASU 2020-01 is effective for the Company in the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Group will not early adopt this ASU and is in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting this standard.

2. SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40), relating to convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity. For convertible instruments, the accounting update reduces the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. Limiting the accounting models results in fewer embedded conversion features being separately recognized from the host contract as compared with current U.S. GAAP. The accounting update amends the guidance for the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity to reduce form-over-substance-based accounting conclusions. The accounting update also simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. ASU 2020-06 is effective for the Company in the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim period within those fiscal year. Early adoption is permitted but no earlier than fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities are allowed to apply this update on either a full or modified retrospective basis. The Group will not early adopt this ASU and is in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting this standard.

3. CERTAIN RISKS AND CONCENTRATION

(a) Concentration of customers

The following customer accounted for 10% or more of total revenue for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020:

There are no balances of accounts receivable accounted for 10% or more as of December 31, 2019 and 2020.

(b) Credit risks

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and other receivables. As of December 31, 2019 and 2020, substantially all of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash were held in major financial institutions located in the United States and PRC, which management considers being of high credit quality. Other receivables are generally unsecured and denominated in RMB, and are derived from operations primarily in the PRC. The risk with respect to other receivables are mitigated by credit evaluations performed on them.

(c) Foreign exchange risk

For Group’s PRC entities, the operating transactions and their assets and liabilities are mainly denominated in RMB. RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currencies. The value of RMB is subject to changes influenced by central government policies, and international economic and political developments. In the PRC, certain foreign exchange transactions are required by law to be transacted only by authorized financial institutions at exchange rates set by the People’s Bank of China (the “PBOC”). Remittances in currencies other than RMB by the Group in China must be processed through the PBOC or other China foreign exchange regulatory bodies which require certain supporting documentation in order to affect the remittance.

Prepayments and other current assets consist of the following:

5. LONG-TERM INVESTMENT

In August 2019, the Group invested cash of US$5,733,781 in Suzhou Zhitu Technology Co., Ltd. (“Zhitu”) and obtained 20% of equity interest. Zhitu was newly set up in PRC and is engaged in providing users with intelligent transportation logistics solutions. Since the Group is entitled to appoint one out of the five board seats of Zhitu which enabled the Group to exercise significant influence over Zhitu, the investment was therefore accounted for under equity method. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020 the Group recognized equity loss of US$407,400 and US$2,626,369, respectively.

The Company also evaluated the impairment of the investment and did not identify the indicator of decline in value of the investment. Considering the nature of the operation of Zhitu which is currently mainly the research and development activities, its continuous losses were resulted from its planned research and development activities which do not suggest the carrying value of the investment may not be recoverable. For the years ended December 2019 and 2020, no other-than-temporary impairment was recognised for the investment.

The Company summarizes the condensed financial information of Zhitu in compliance with Rule 4-08 (g) of Regulation S-X.

The loan was provided to the Company pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economics Security Act of the United States (the “CARES Act”), under which the Company is entitled to apply for the forgiveness of the loan to Small Business Administration of the United States (the “SBA”) when certain conditions of the CARES Act are met. The Company evaluated and believed all these conditions are met and has applied for the forgiveness of the loan in October 2020. In February 2021, the Company has received the forgiveness from the SBA and accounted for the grant as a reduction of the related expenses.

Accounting for Preferred Shares and the Warrants

The Company classified the Preferred Shares in the mezzanine equity on the consolidated balance sheet because they were contingently redeemable at the holders’ option upon the occurrence of certain customized liquidation events or redemption events that are outside of the Company’s control. The Preferred Shares are recorded initially at fair value, net of issuance costs.

Given the Preferred Shares are contingently redeemable upon certain customized liquidation events or redemption events, the Company recorded accretions on the Preferred Shares to the respective redemption value from the dates that the Preferred Shares become probable redeemable to the earliest redemption dates. The accretion is recorded against retained earnings, or in the absence of retained earnings, by charges against additional paid-in-capital, or in the absence of additional paid-in-capital, by charges to accumulated deficit.

The Company considers the redemption of Series A-3 Shares, Series A-4 Shares held by certain preferred shareholder and Series B-1 Shares held by the Key Series B-1 Investor as probable and recorded accretion to their respective redemption value starting from the date Series B-1 Shares were issued in November 2020. For the year ended December 31, 2019, Series A-1, Series A-2 and Series A-4 Shares did not have redemption right, nor were Series A-3 Shares considered redeemable based on the Company’s assessment that the contingent redemption or liquidation events were not probable, the Company did not recognize accretion for the Preferred Shares. For the year ended December 31, 2020, as a result of the issuance of Series B-1 Shares and the modification of Series A-4 Shares held by certain preferred shareholder as well as contingent redemption event of Series A-3 Shares became probable, i.e. when any other class or series of shares become redeemable, the Company recognized the accretion of Series A-3 Shares, Series A-4 Shares held by certain preferred shareholder and Series B-1 Shares held by the Key Series B-1 Investor with the aggregate amount of US$45,188,393.

The Company determined that host contract of the Preferred Shares is more akin to an equity host, given the Preferred Shares holders have participating right in the Company like that of the ordinary shareholders, including the voting rights, conversion and dividend rights. The Company assessed and determined that the conversion and dividend feature to be clearly and closely related to the equity host, and do not need to be bifurcated from the equity host. The Company also assessed the liquidation feature and determined that the debt-like feature does not meet the net settlement and would not result in bifurcation.

The Company determined that there were no beneficial conversion features identified for any of the Preferred Shares during any of the periods.

The Company classified the Warrants as financial liabilities under ASC 480 since the Warrants for the Preferred Shares conditionally obligates the Company to ultimately transfer assets. For the Warrant issued in connection with the Series A-3 Shares, the proceeds were allocated first to the Warrant based on its fair value and the residual was allocated to the Series A-3 Shares. The Warrants was measured at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in consolidated statement of comprehensive loss.

On June 30, 2018, the issue date of the Warrant, the Company recorded the Warrant at its fair value of US$3,586,256. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020, the Company recognized a gain of US$616,957 and a loss of US$1,759,140, respectively, from the change in fair value of the warrant liability.

These financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019 have been revised to correct the errors related to the accounting for Series A-3 Shares and the Warrants as a result of the correction of the valuation results. As result of the revisions, the carry amounts of the Series A-3 Shares as of December 31, 2019 decreased by US$ 0.3 million and the carry amounts of the warrant liabilities as of December 31, 2019 increased by US$ 0.4 million, and for the year ended December 31, 2019, the fair value gain from the warrant liabilities increased by US$ 1.4 million. The revision also increased the accumulated deficits as of January 1, 2019 by US$ 1.5 million. The impacts of these revisions on the previously issued consolidated financial statements are not material.

Modification or extinguishment of Preferred Shares

The Company assessed whether an amendment to the terms of its Preferred Shares is an extinguishment or a modification based on a qualitative and quantitative evaluation of the amendment. The Company also assessed if the change in the terms results in value transfer between Preferred Shareholders or between Preferred Shareholders and Ordinary Shareholders. Upon the extinguishment, the difference between the fair value of the amended Preferred Shares and the carrying amount of the Preferred Shares is treated as deemed dividends to or contribution from the preferred shareholders. Upon the modification, the Company evaluates whether there is a transfer of value between ordinary shareholders and preferred shareholders as a result of the modification, a deemed dividend is recognized as a reduction of additional paid-in capital, or increase to accumulated deficit in the absence of additional paid-in capital.

For the amended term of the Series A-4 Shares to certain preferred shareholder, it was provided the redemption right and the change of liquidation price in connection with the issuance of Series B-1 Shares, as described in above section. The Company evaluated this amendment and determined that the amendment shall be treated as extinguishment of the Series A-4 Shares to certain preferred shareholder given its qualitative significance. Upon the extinguishment, the Company derecognized the extinguished Series A-4 Shares with its carrying amount and recognized the Series A-4 Shares after amendment by its fair value, with the difference of US$1,503,860 recognized as a reduction of additional paid-in-capital as a deemed dividend for the year ended December 31, 2020.

In addition, for the change of liquidation prices of the Series A-4 (other than the Series A-4 Shares to certain preferred shareholder as aforementioned), Series A-3, Series A-2 and Series A-1 Shares in connection with the issuance of Series B-1 Shares as described in above section, from both quantitative and qualitative perspectives, the Company assessed and concluded that the amendment represents modifications of the Series A-4 (other than the Series A-4 Shares to certain preferred shareholder as aforementioned), Series A-3, Series A-2 and Series A-1 Shares. The Company evaluated and concluded the impact of above modifications and recorded a reduction of additional paid-in-capital as a deemed dividend with amount of US$1,162,633 for the year ended December 31, 2020.

For the year ended December 31, 2020, the aggregated amounts of US$2,666,493 associated with above modification and extinguishment of Preferred Shares were recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in-capital.

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 December 31, 2019 and 2020, nil 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 US$26,750,000 and US$36,400,000 as of December 31, 2019 and 2020.
