Concurrently with the submission of this letter, the Company is filing its registration statement on Form F-1 (the “Registration Statement”) and certain exhibits via EDGAR to the Commission.

To facilitate your review, we have separately delivered to you today five courtesy copies of the Revised Draft Registration Statement, marked to show changes to the Draft Registration Statement, and two copies of the filed exhibits.

The Staff’s comments are repeated below in bold and are followed by the Company’s responses. We have included page references in the Registration Statement where the language addressing a particular comment appears. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Registration Statement.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

COVID-19 Outbreak, page 75

 

1.

We note your response to comment 2 and we reissue in part. Please revise your disclosure to further describe any known trends and uncertainties that have had, or that you reasonably expect will have, a material favorable or unfavorable impact on revenue or results of operations, in light of the impact of COVID-19 on your business. For example, consider discussing, as you do in Note 25 to your financial statements, that “[t]he Company’s first quarter results of operations have been negatively impacted.” Please refer to CF Disclosure Guidance: Topic No. 9.

In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised the disclosure on pages 4-6 and 78-79 of the Registration Statement.

Consolidated Financial Statements for the Year Ended December 31, 2019

Note 5. Business Combination, page F-31

 

2.

We note from your response to comment 5 that you corrected the number of options granted to non-employees to exclude 583,277 options granted to the former shareholders of Huadian Tianze and Jilin Taisen as part of the purchase consideration for the acquisition of those entities. Please revise your disclosure in either Note 5 or Note 16 to disclose the number of options granted to replace those originally granted under the 2017 Plan as part of the purchase consideration for these entities so that investors may derive the number of options outstanding at December 31, 2019 from the information in your financial statements.

In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised Note 16 on page F-39 of the Registration Statement to disclose the number of options granted to replace those options originally granted under the 2017 Plan as part of the purchase consideration for the acquisition of Huadian Tianze and Jilin Taisen.

Note 10. Intangible Assets, page F-34

 

3.

Based on the intangible asset roll forward provided in your response to comment 4, it appears you disposed of intangible assets with a net book value of RMB 30,248 during Fiscal 2019. In addition, your Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows reflect proceeds from the disposal of intangible assets in the amount of RMB 21,167 during Fiscal 2019. It appears that the difference between the net book value of these intangible assets and the sales price is RMB 9,081. Please explain to us in reasonable detail how you determined the loss on disposal of intangible assets in the amount of RMB 3,840 as reflected in your Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss for Fiscal 2019.

The Company respectfully advises the Staff that the total selling price of the disposed intangible assets during Fiscal 2019 was RMB26.4 million, of which the Company received RMB21.2 million as of December 31, 2019, and the remaining RMB5.2 million was included in prepayments and other current assets as of December 31, 2019. The difference of RMB3.8 million between the net book value and the total selling price was recorded as the loss on disposal of intangible assets.
