Foreign Exchange Risk
All of our revenues and substantially
all of our expenses are denominated in RMB. Our reporting currency was the U.S. dollar prior to April 1, 2016. In our consolidated financial
statements prepared before April 1, 2016, our financial information that used RMB as the functional currency had been translated into
U.S. dollars. Effective from April 1, 2016, we changed our reporting currency from the U.S. dollar to RMB. Due to foreign currency translation
adjustments, we had a foreign currency translation adjustment of a loss of RMB1.9 million, a gain of RMB22.1 million and a loss of RMB40.7
million (US$5.8 million) in 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectively. Appreciation or depreciation in the value of the RMB relative to the U.S.
dollar would affect our financial results reported in U.S. dollar terms without giving effect to any underlying change in our business
or results of operations.
The conversion of RMB into
foreign currencies, including U.S. dollars, is based on rates set by the People’s Bank of China. The RMB has fluctuated against
the U.S. dollar, at times significantly and unpredictably. It is difficult to predict how market forces or PRC or U.S. government policy
may impact the exchange rate between RMB and the U.S. dollar in the future.
To the extent that we need
to convert U.S. dollars into RMB for our operations, appreciation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar would have an adverse effect on the
RMB amount we receive from the conversion. Conversely, if we decide to convert RMB into U.S. dollars for the purpose of making payments
for dividends on our ordinary shares or ADSs or for other business purposes, appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the RMB would have
a negative effect on the U.S. dollar amounts available to us.

Very limited hedging options
are available in China to reduce our exposure to exchange rate fluctuations. To date, our company and the VIEs have not entered into any
hedging transactions in an effort to reduce our exposure to foreign currency exchange risk.
Interest Rate Risk
We have not been exposed
to material risks due to changes in market interest rates, and we have not used any derivative financial instruments to manage our interest
risk exposure. However, we cannot provide assurance that we will not be exposed to material risks due to changes in market interest rate
in the future. We currently invest our cash in interest-earning instruments. Investments in both fixed rate and floating rate interest
earning instruments carry a degree of interest rate risk. Fixed rate securities may have their fair market value adversely impacted due
to a rise in interest rates, while floating rate securities may produce less income than expected if interest rates fall.
Inflation
To date, inflation in China
has not materially impacted our results of operations. According to the National Bureau of Statistics of China, the year-over-year percent
change in the consumer price index was a decrease of 0.3% for December 2023, an increase of 0.1% for December 2024, and an increase of
0.8% for December 2025. Although our company and the VIEs have not been materially affected by inflation in the past, we can provide no
assurance that we will not be affected by higher rates of inflation in China in the future.
