First Six Months 2020 Financial Results
Interest Income on Loans
Interest income on loans primarily consists of the accrued interest of Stage 3 credit-impaired loans. Accrued interest is the present value of the estimated future cash flows of credit-impaired loans expected to be recovered, discounted at the loan’s original effective interest rate. Interest income on loans for the first six months of 2020 decreased by 31.9% to RMB51.4 million (US$7.3 million) from RMB75.5 million in the same period of the prior year. The decrease was primarily attributable to the novation of loans receivable to a related party, Hubei New Nature Investment Co., Ltd (“Hubei New Nature”), a company that is 80.8% owned by the Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Ricky Qizhi Wei, to offset payables to Hubei New Nature, which reduced loans receivable by RMB1.3 million ($0.2 million) and, consequently, reduced interest income on loans. Also, the decrease was as a result of certain loans were assessed to be fully credit impaired and had since ceased accruing its interest.
Interest expense
Interest expenses on loans increased to RMB10.8 million (US$1.5 million) for the first six months of 2020 from RMB9.8 million in the same period of the prior year. The increase was mainly due to the increase in the effective cost of borrowings which increased from 9.6% per annum in the first six months of 2019 to 11.0% in the first six months of 2020, which resulted in a RMB1.0 million (US$0.1 million) decrease in the Company’s interest expenses on loans.
Net interest income
Net interest income for the first six months of 2020 was RMB40.4 million (US$5.7 million), representing a 38.3% decrease from RMB65.5 million in the same period of the prior year.
Credit impairment losses
The Company maintains the allowance for loan losses, as presented in the financial statements, at a level we consider to be reasonable by management to absorb probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of each balance sheet date. The management evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses on a regular basis or more often as necessary. The allowance is based on the past loan loss history, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral, composition of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions and other relevant factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates that may be susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.
1 |
Credit impairment losses for the first six months of 2020 increased from RMB11.3 million to RMB32.5 million (US$4.6 million). The economic and business environment for small and medium enterprises remained very challenging. Most of the Company’s loan customers were experiencing financial difficulty, additional allowance for loan losses of RMB32.5 million (US$4.6 million) were provided for the first six months of 2020. The Company assessed credit loss allowance on these credit-impaired loans based on an assessment of the recoverable cash flows under a range of scenarios, including the realization of any collateral held where appropriate. The loss provisions held represent the difference between the present value of the cash flows expected to be recovered, discounted at the instrument’s original effective interest rate, and the gross carrying value of the instrument prior to any credit impairment.
Operation expenses
Sales and marketing expenses for the first six months of 2020 decreased to Nil from RMB0.6 million in the same period of the prior year. The decrease was primarily attributable to initiatives taken by the Company to cease its credit activities as the Company plans to adjust its business by vigorously collect the existing loans and gradually digest its non-performing loans year by year. The Company has adjusted its organizational structure and reduced its credit team, retaining only a small number of personnel.
General and administrative expenses decreased from RMB7.5 million for the first six months of 2019 to RMB4.3 million (US$0.6 million) for the first six months of 2020. The decrease was primarily attributable to the reduction in headcounts.
Net Profit and Earnings per ADS
As a result of the foregoing, net profit was RMB3.7 million (US$0.5 million) for the first six months of 2020, as compared to RMB34.5 million in the same period of the prior year.
Earnings per ADS for the first six months of 2020 was US$0.02, compared to US$0.19 in the same period of the prior year.
Balance Sheet
As of June 30, 2020, the Company had cash and restricted cash of RMB91,000 (US$13,000) compared to RMB132,000 as of December 31, 2019. All cash deposits with the bank are frozen by court order as the Company was subject to multiple legal proceedings, administrative proceedings, claims and other litigation as a result of overdue payments to service providers and loans payable to the lenders. The Company has actively engaged Wuchang District Court to broker a series of settlement solution for its obligations with a hope of reaching a deal next year.
Loans receivable, net of credit impairment losses of RMB455.7 million (US$64.5 million), was RMB631.2 million (US$89.3 million) as of June 30, 2020, representing an increase of 2.6% from RMB615.2 million as of December 31, 2019, primarily due to accrual of interest. Accrued interest is the present value of the estimated future cash flows of credit-impaired loans expected to be recovered, discounted at the loan’s original effective interest rate.
As of December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2020, loans payable to third parties, related parties and shareholders are all overdue. Although certain loans payable were negotiated with schedule of repayments, the Company is unable to fulfill those obligations due to liquidity issues.

Cash Flow
Net cash used by operating activities for the first six months of 2020 was RMB5,000 (US$1,000) compared to RMB2.5 million net cash generated by operating activities in the same period of the prior year and the Company has limited liquidity available to fulfill its obligations for the first six months of 2020.
COVID-19
In late December 2019, COVID-19 was discovered in Wuhan City, China. Wuhan City was locked down by the Government on January 23, 2020, for about 61 days. During the lockdown in Wuhan City, except for medical workers and essential services, all businesses were mandatorily closed and all residents were ordered to stay at home. The Company’s headquarters and operations are located in Wuhan City, China, the epicenter for COVID-19 pandemic. As a result of the government lockdown, travel restrictions and quarantines imposed by the Chinese government, the Company’s operations, financial conditions and cash flows are materially and adversely affected. The Company’s operations may be affected by the ongoing outbreak of COVID-19, which in March 2020, had been declared as a pandemic by the World Health Organization. The continued uncertainties associated with COVID 19 may cause the Company’s operations, financial conditions and cash flows to be severely and adversely affected in the next 12 months. The extent of the future impact of COVID-19 is still highly uncertain and cannot be predicted as of the financial statement reporting date.
