Preliminary Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A

 

Summary of the Proxy Statement, page 8

 

1.Please provide organizational charts of Wealthbridge and Scienjoy before and after the business combination to clarify the current ownership of Scienjoy and the ownership of the company following the transaction. Disclose that you expect to be a controlled company under the Nasdaq Stock Market Rules because Lavacano will control more than 50% of the voting power of your outstanding capital stock. Also, disclose that if you are deemed to be a foreign private issuer under Rule 3b-4 of the Exchange Act following the transaction, you plan to adopt a dual-class share structure that will result in further concentration of Lavacano's control over the company. Provide cross-references to the corresponding risk factors on pages 56 and 57, as well as a new risk factor that addresses the disclosure and reporting requirements (e.g., no requirement to comply with the proxy rules) and the exemptions from certain Nasdaq corporate governance rules that are available to a foreign private issuer and whether you intend to use them.

 

Response: The disclosure on page 8 of the Amended Proxy Statement has been revised in accordance with the Staff’s comment.

 

2.You state that the Share Exchange Agreement provides that the minimum remaining amount in your trust account is no less than $10,000,000 after giving effect to payments to redeeming shareholders. Please disclose the maximum redemption amount that you have calculated for the purpose of complying with such provision, and describe what may happen if shareholder redemptions exceed such amount. In this regard, you disclose on page 108 that you may need to obtain additional equity or debt financing if you become obligated to redeem a significant number of your public shares upon completion of the business combination.

 

Response:  The disclosure on page 9 and page 148 of the Amended Proxy Statement has been revised in accordance with the Staff’s comment.

 

Risk Factors, page 17

4.To the extent your Second Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association will contain anti-takeover provisions that materially limit the rights of holders of your ordinary shares, please provide a risk factor that describes those limitations. In this regard, we note your existing memorandum and articles of association provide for the separation of your board of directors into two classes.

 

Response: The disclosure on page 57 of the Amended Proxy Statement has been revised in accordance with the Staff’s comment.

 

Scienjoy relies on its mobile application and PC application to provide services . . ., page 29

 

5.You disclose that the Showself Live Streaming mobile application, which you characterize as Scienjoy's most popular platform in terms of registered users and revenue, was once removed by Apple's App Store for unknown reasons and that such incident caused a significant decrease in the number of downloads and had a material adverse impact on Scienjoy's business and results of operations. Please contextualize this disclosure by providing the date of removal and length of the suspension. To the extent material, disclose the quantitative financial impact on the company.

 

Response: The disclosure on page 30 of the Amended Proxy Statement has been revised in accordance with the Staff’s comment.

 

Key performance metrics used by Scienjoy, such as QAUs, paying users, ARPPU and paying ratio, may overstate the number . . ., page 32

 

6.You state that each of your three primary platforms has its own mobile application. Please discuss whether registered users are required to separately register for each platform and, if so, how this impacts the total number of registered users, active users and paying users and whether these users are counted more than once for purposes of calculating these metrics. To the extent that a user is registered or has been active on more than one platform, please disclose how you measure unique users.

 

Response: The disclosure on page 32 of the Amended Proxy Statement has been revised in accordance with the Staff’s comment.

The Business Combination Proposal Wealthbridge's Board's Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination, page 70

 

7.You state that no reports as to the valuation of Scienjoy were produced by any of your advisors. You, however, also state that your board of directors received information from your legal and financial advisors prior to reaching the decision to approve the Share Exchange Agreement and the transaction. Please explain why the information that you received from your financial advisor does not qualify as a report, opinion, or appraisal that is materially related to the transaction. Refer to Item 14(b)(6) of Schedule 14A and Item 1015(b) of Regulation M-A.

 

Response: The disclosure on page 70 of the Amended Proxy Statement has been revised to clarify that Wealthbridge only received oral advice from its financial advisor and that no report or other documents were produced relating to the valuation of Scienjoy.

 

8.You disclose that your management team and board of directors recommended approval of the business combination, in part, because Scienjoy compares favorably to three publicly traded Chinese live streaming platforms (HUYA, DouYu, and YY) in terms of user scale and economics and that the pro forma equity market value of the post-combination company, assuming no redemptions, will represent a substantial discount to the equity market values of HUYA and DouYu. Please disclose whether the board also considered the differences between Scienjoy and HUYA and DouYu in connection with this analysis. For example, we note that HUYA and DouYu are companies with greater revenue and a greater number of registered users, active users, and paying users. We also note that HUYA and DouYu are primarily focused on the game live streaming market, which may not necessarily be comparable to the show live streaming market.

 

Response: The disclosure on page 72 of the Amended Proxy Statement has been revised in accordance with the Staff’s comments.

Key Factors Affecting Scienjoy's Results of Operations, page 130

 

9.You stress the importance of user retention and engagement to Scienjoy's business. Please tell us whether management of Scienjoy measures the operating performance of the business in terms of active user retention and/or engagement, such as average daily time spent on the platforms. If so, please provide those metrics for each period presented and describe how they are calculated.

 

Response: The disclosure throughout the Amended Proxy Statement has been revised in accordance with the Staff’s comment by deleting the phrase “user retention” because Scienjoy does not measure the operating performance by active user retention. Scienjoy measures active user engagement by the metrics of “Quarterly Average Revenue per Paying User” or “ARPPU.” The disclosure of ARPPU for each period on page 133 of the Amended Proxy Statement has been added in accordance with the Staff’s comment.

Revenue, page 133

 

10.Please tell us why you do not provide revenue recognized from each of your three primary platforms (i.e., Showself Live, Lehai Live, and Haixiu Live). Consider disclosing the total number of paying users and by each of these three platforms.

 

Response: The disclosure on page 133 of the Amended Proxy Statement has been revised in accordance with the Staff’s comment.

 

Revenue Recognition, page 138

 

11.You disclose that in the case of time-based virtual items, live streaming revenue is recognized over the fixed period on a straight line basis. Please disclose the fixed period or term. In addition, describe the nature or type of virtual items that are time-based. Explain why recognizing revenue on a straight-line basis is appropriate. Please also address the application of ASC 606 upon adoption. We refer you to ASC 606-10-25-27 and 30.

 

Response: The disclosure on page 139 of the Amended Proxy Statement has been revised in accordance with the Staff’s comment.

 

In light of the adoption of ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” using the modified retrospective method, Scienjoy has evaluated the potential impact on Scienjoy’s consolidated financial statements as below:

 

Revenues are recognized when control of the promised virtual items or services is transferred to Scienjoy’s customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration Scienjoy expects to be entitled to in exchange for those virtual items or services.

 

Under ASC 606-10-25-27, “An entity transfer control of a good or service over time and therefore, satisfied a performance obligation and recognizes revenue over time, if one of the following criteria is met: … the customer simultaneously receive and consume the benefit provided by the entity’s performance as the entity performs….”

  

 

 

January 16, 2020
Page 6 

 

For each of the time-based virtual item mentioned above, the users receive and consume the benefits of the virtual items during the contract period. As a result, revenue related to time-based virtual items provided on a subscription basis is recognized ratably over the contract period in accordance with ASC 606-10-25-27. Scienjoy does not have further performance obligations to the user after the stated contract period of time for time-based virtual items.

 

Further, according to ASC 606-10-25-30, “If a performance obligation is not satisfied over time in accordance with paragraphs 606-10-25- 27 through 25-29, an entity satisfies the performance obligation at a point in time. To determine the point in time at which a customer obtains control of a promised asset and the entity satisfies a performance obligation, the entity shall consider the guidance on control in paragraphs 606-10-25-23 through 25-26….”

 

For the consumable virtual items, Scienjoy considers each consumable virtual item as a single performance obligation provided on a consumption basis. Revenue is recognized at the point in time when the consumable virtual item is transferred directly to the users and consumed by them. Scienjoy does not have further performance obligations to the user after the virtual items are consumed immediately. As a result, revenue related to consumable virtual items is recognized at the point in time in accordance with ASC 606-10-25-30.

  

Based on Scienjoy’s assessment, the adoption of ASC 606 will not have any material impact on Scienjoy’s consolidated financial statements and no material differences will exist between Scienjoy’s future adoption of ASC 606 and its accounting to date under ASC 605.

 

12.Please clarify the definition of "recharge" to describe when virtual currency are purchased. Clarify how you account for any fees paid to or retained by third-party platforms or distributors. Provide support for how each fee or charge is presented and indicate why these fees are not reported as a reduction of revenue. In addition, describe how you account for virtual currency purchased in advance and resold by sale agents. Describe the payment terms of distributor receivables and describe incentives or concessions provided. In this regard, we note that distributor receivables are significant.

Lavacano is 60.9375% owned by TF SF and 39.0625% owned by Heshine, maintaining a same share structure as TF SF and Heshine in Junwei before the reorganization.

 

Scienjoy utilized guidance from the Emerging Issues Task Force in EITF Issue No. 02-5, Definition of “Common Control” in Relation to FASB Statement No. 141 (EITF 02-5). The guidance states that common control exists when an individual or entity holds more than 50% of the voting ownership interest of each entity. Further, ASC 810-10-15-8 states, “for legal entities other than limited partnerships, the usual condition for a controlling financial interest is ownership of a majority voting interest in an entity. ASC 810-10-30-1 states, “if the primary beneficiary of a VIE and the VIE are under common control, the primary beneficiary shall initially measure the assets, liabilities, and non-controlling interests of the VIE at amounts at which they are carried in the accounts of the reporting entity that controls the VIE”. Therefore, as a general rule, the party that holds directly or indirectly more than 50% of the voting shares has control. The power to control may also exist with a lesser percentage of ownership, for example, by contract, lease, agreement with other stockholders, or by court decree.” Based on its current indirect ownership and contractual agreements signed as indicated in the above table, Scienjoy determined that common control by Lavacano exists. Lavacano is the ultimate parent of QY and owns 80% of QY via indirect interest and contractual agreements. As a result, Scienjoy has determined that common control exists in the companies before and after the reorganization.

 

(c) Organization, page F-39

 

17.Please include a description of the recognized and unrecognized revenue-producing assets that are held by the VIE. These assets may include licenses, trademarks, other intellectual property, facilities or assembled workforce. We refer you to ASC 810-10-50-5A.d.
