This milestone quarter fully reflects not only our successful business transition but also fruitful evidence of the years we dedicated to enhancing our risk management and improving asset quality.

Second Quarter 2021 Financial Results

Net revenue was RMB492.2 million (US$76.2 million), representing an increase of 100.9% from the same period of 2020.

Revenue from loan facilitation services was RMB453.7 million (US$70.3 million), representing an increase of 178.0% from the same period of 2020, of which RMB40.7 million (US$6.3 million) was from individual investor referral services. The increase was primarily due to the increased loan origination volume from our institutional funding partners.

Revenue from post-origination services was nil, representing a decrease of 100% from the same period of 2020. The decrease was due to the outstanding loan balance of our legacy P2P lending business being reduced to zero in November 2020.

Other revenue was RMB38.5 million (US$5.9 million), representing a decrease of 8.3% from the same period of 2020. The decrease was primarily due to reduced revenue from P2P related services as the Company no longer supports the legacy P2P lending business, of which has been partially offset by increased revenues generated both from our overseas business and sales of hardware by Shanghai Bweenet Network Technology Co., Ltd. (“Shanghai Bweenet ”) since May 2021.

Origination and servicing expense was RMB83.2 million (US$12.9 million), representing an increase of 63.5% from the same period of 2020, primarily due to the increase in credit assessment expense resulting from higher loan origination volume.

Cost of sales was RMB5.0 million (US$0.8 million), compared with nil from the same period of 2020. The increase was primarily due the cost of hardware sold by Shanghai Bweenet.

Allowance for uncollectible receivables, contract assets, loans receivable and others was RMB13.0 million (US$2.0 million), representing an increase of 21.5% from the same period of 2020, primarily due to an increase in loan principal and interest as a result of the higher loan origination volume from overseas business, of which has been partially offset by the decrease in estimated default rate under current business model.

Sales and marketing expense was RMB174.2 million (US$27.0 million), representing an increase of 169.7% from the same period of 2020, primarily due to our new online advertising and marketing strategy which has resulted in higher customer acquisition expenses.

General and administrative expense was RMB35.2 million (US$5.5 million), representing a decrease of 3.8% from the same period of 2020, primarily due to the decrease in headcount, of which has been partially offset by the increase in personnel related costs allocating to general and administration department.

Research and development expense was RMB31.9 million (US$4.9 million), representing a decrease of 6.5% from the same period of 2020, primarily due to the improved utilization of our facility allocating to research and development department, of which has been partially offset by the increase in professional services expenses as the Company continues to enhance the research and development capability.

Income from operations was RMB149.6 million (US$23.2 million), compared with an operating income of RMB48.0 million in the same period of 2020.

Net income was RMB126.8 million (US$19.6 million), compared with net income of RMB41.1 million in the same period of 2020.

Cash and cash equivalents were RMB141.4 million (US$21.9 million) as of June 30, 2021, compared with RMB123.3 million as of March 31, 2021.
