2. Summary of significant accounting policies
The unaudited consolidated financial statements of Camelot have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 2 of the consolidated financial statements of Kingsoft Cloud Holding Limited (“Kingsoft Cloud”) for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Adoption of ASC 842
Camelot adopted ASC 842, Lease (“ASC 842”) on January 1, 2020 by using the modified retrospective method and did not restate the comparable periods. Camelot has also elected the accounting policy by class of underlying asset to combine lease and non-lease components and account for the combined component in accordance with the accounting treatment for the predominant component. Camelot has also elected the practical expedient of the short-term lease exemption for contracts with lease terms of 12 months or less. Upon adoption ASC 842, Camelot recognized operating lease right-of-use assets of RMB16,054 and total lease liabilities of RMB15,275 for operating leases as of January 1, 2020.
Adoption of ASC 326
Camelot adopted ASC 326, Credit Losses (“ASC326”) on January 1, 2021 using a modified retrospective approach with a cumulative effect recorded to decrease the opening balance of retained earnings on January 1, 2021 with an amount of RMB2,294. The comparative periods were not restated.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
Adoption of ASC 326 (continued)
Upon adoption of ASC 326, Camelot maintains an allowance for credit losses in accordance with ASC 326 and records the allowance for credit losses as an offset to accounts receivable and contract assets, and the estimated credit losses charged to the allowance is classified as “General and administrative expenses” in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Camelot assesses collectability by reviewing accounts receivable and contract assets on a collective basis where similar characteristics exist and on an individual basis when Camelot identifies specific customers with known disputes or collectability issues. In determining the amount of the allowance for credit losses, Camelot considers historical collectability based on past due status, the age of the accounts receivable and contract assets balances, credit quality of Camelot’s customers based on ongoing credit evaluations, current economic conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions, and other factors that may affect Camelot’s ability to collect from customers.
Share-based compensation
As disclosed in note 2 of the consolidated financial statements of Kingsoft Cloud for the year ended December 31, 2021, Camelot applies ASC 718 to account for its employee share-based payments.
A change in the terms or conditions of share options is accounted for as a modification of share-based awards. Camelot calculates the incremental compensation cost of a modification as the excess of the fair value of the modified option over the fair value of the original option immediately before its terms are modified, measured based on the share price and other pertinent factors at the modification date. For vested share-based awards, Camelot recognizes incremental compensation cost in the period the modification occurred. For unvested share-based awards, Camelot recognizes, over the remaining requisite service period, the sum of the incremental compensation cost and the remaining unrecognized compensation cost for the original award on the modification date.
A cancellation of share-based awards that is not accompanied by the concurrent grant of (or offer to grant) a replacement award or other valuable consideration is accounted for as a repurchase for no consideration. Any previously unrecognized compensation costs are recognized at the cancellation date.
Impact of COVID-19
For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020 and the period ended September 3, 2021, COVID-19 has not had a significant impact on Camelot’s operations. There are still uncertainties of COVID-19’s future impact, and the extent of the impact will depend on a number of factors, including the duration and severity of the pandemic; the uneven impact to certain industries; and the macroeconomic impact of government measures to contain the spread of COVID-19 and related government stimulus measures. As a result, certain of Camelot’s estimates and assumptions, including allowance for credit losses, require increased judgment and carry a higher degree of variability and volatility that could result in material changes to Camelot’s estimates in future periods.
3. Concentration of risks
(a)
Currency convertibility risk
Camelot transacts a majority of its business in RMB, which is not freely convertible into foreign currencies. On January 1, 1994, the PRC government abolished the dual rate system and introduced a single rate of exchange as quoted daily by the People’s Bank of China (“PBOC”). However, the unification of the exchange rates does not imply that the RMB may be readily convertible into United States dollars or other foreign currencies. All foreign exchange transactions continue to take place either through the PBOC or other

3. Concentration of risks (continued)
(a)
Currency convertibility risk (continued)
banks authorized to buy and sell foreign currencies at the exchange rates quoted by the PBOC. Approval of foreign currency payments by the PBOC or other institutions requires submitting a payment application form together with suppliers’ invoices, shipping documents and signed contracts. Additionally, the value of the RMB is subject to changes in central government policies and international economic and political developments affecting supply and demand in the PRC foreign exchange trading system market.
(b)
Concentration of credit risk
Assets that potentially subject Camelot to significant concentration of credit risk primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable and contract assets. Camelot expects that there is no significant credit risk associated with cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash, which were held by reputable financial institutions in the jurisdictions where Camelot and its subsidiaries are located. Camelot believes that it is not exposed to unusual risks as these financial institutions have high credit quality.
Accounts receivable and contract assets are typically unsecured and are derived from revenues earned from reputable customers. As of December 31, 2019 and 2020 and September 3, 2021, Camelot had one customer with a receivable balance exceeding 10% of the total accounts receivable balance. As of December 31, 2019, Camelot had one customer with contract assets exceeding 10% of the total contract assets balance. As of December 31, 2020 and September 3, 2021, no individual customer accounted for more than 10% of the total contract assets balance. The risk with respect to accounts receivable and contract assets is mitigated by credit evaluations Camelot performs on its customers and its ongoing monitoring process of outstanding balances.
(c)
Business, customer, political, social and economic risks
Camelot participates in a dynamic and competitive high technology industry and believes that changes in any of the following areas could have a material adverse effect on Camelot’s future financial position, results of operations or cash flows: changes in the overall demand for services; competitive pressures due to existing competitors; and new trends in new technologies and industry standards; control of telecommunication infrastructures by local regulators and industry standards; changes in certain strategic relationships or customer relationships; regulatory considerations; and risks associated with Camelot’s ability to attract and retain employees necessary to support its growth. Camelot’s operations could be adversely affected by significant political, economic and social uncertainties in the PRC.
No individual customer accounted for more than 10% of total revenues during the year ended December 31, 2019. For the year ended December 31, 2020 and the period ended September 3, 2021, one customer accounted for 18% and 24% of total revenues, respectively.
(d)
Foreign currency exchange rate risk
From July 21, 2005, the RMB is permitted to fluctuate within a narrow and managed band against a basket of certain foreign currencies. For RMB against U.S. dollar, there were depreciation of approximately 1.3%, appreciation of approximately 6.3%, and appreciation of approximately 1.3% during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020 and the period ended September 3, 2021, respectively. For RMB against Japanese Yen, there were depreciation of approximately 2.6%, appreciation of approximately 1.3%, and appreciation of approximately 7.3% during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020 and the period ended September 3, 2021, respectively. It is difficult to predict how market forces or PRC, U.S. or Japanese government policy may impact the exchange rate of the RMB against the U.S. dollar and the Japanese Yen in the future.
To the extent that Camelot needs to convert U.S. dollar or Japanese Yen into RMB for capital expenditures and working capital and other business purposes, appreciation of RMB against U.S. dollar or

Conversely, if Camelot decides to convert RMB into U.S. dollar or Japanese Yen for the purpose of making payments for dividends on ordinary shares, strategic acquisitions or investments or other business purposes, appreciation of U.S. dollar or Japanese Yen against RMB would have a negative effect on the U.S. dollar or Japanese Yen amount available to Camelot. In addition, a significant depreciation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar or Japanese Yen may significantly reduce the U.S. dollar or Japanese Yen equivalent of Camelot’s earnings or losses.

Camelot operates through several subsidiaries and the valuation allowance is considered for each subsidiary on an individual basis. As of December 31, 2019 and 2020 and September 3, 2021, Camelot’s total deferred tax assets before valuation allowances were RMB65,541, RMB78,127 and RMB100,179, respectively. As of December 31, 2019 and 2020 and September 3, 2021, Camelot recorded valuation allowances of RMB29,452, RMB31,604 and RMB41,034, respectively, on its deferred tax assets that are sufficient to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amounts that are more-likely-than-not to be realized. In making such determination, Camelot evaluates a variety of factors including Camelot’s operating history, accumulated deficit, existence of taxable temporary differences and reversal periods.
As of December 31, 2019 and 2020 and September 3, 2021, Camelot had net tax losses of approximately RMB16,256, RMB19,110 and RMB85,972, respectively, mainly deriving from entities in the PRC. The tax losses in PRC can be carried forward for five years to offset future taxable profit and the period was extended to ten years for entities that qualify as HNTE. The tax losses of entities in the PRC will expire between 2021 and 2026 and the tax losses of entities in the PRC that qualify as HNTE will expire between 2021 and 2031, if not utilized.

Deferred tax (continued)
As of December 31, 2019 and 2020 and September 3, 2021, Camelot did not provide deferred income taxes and foreign withholding taxes on the undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries on the basis of its intent to permanently reinvest its foreign subsidiaries’ earnings. As of December 31, 2019, 2020 and September 3, 2021, the taxable temporary differences for unrecognized deferred tax liabilities related to investments in foreign subsidiaries were RMB291,708, RMB101,441 and RMB72,794, respectively. Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred tax liability related to these earnings is not practicable. Under the PRC tax regulations, dividends from PRC companies to their overseas parents in respect of earnings derived from January 1, 2008 onwards are subject to PRC dividend withholding tax at 10%. Such rate could be reduced to 5% should treaty benefits be applicable.
Unrecognized tax benefits
As of December 31, 2019 and 2020 and September 3, 2021, Camelot had unrecognized tax benefits of RMB30,183, RMB27,941 and RMB32,121, respectively. Camelot made its assessment of the level of authority for each of its uncertain tax positions (including the potential application of interest and penalties) based on the technical merits, and has measured the unrecognized tax benefits associated with the tax positions. It is possible that the amount of uncertain tax benefits will change in the next 12 months; however, an estimate of the range of the possible outcomes cannot be made at this time. As of December 31, 2019 and 2020 and September 3, 2021, there were RMB30,183, RMB27,941 and RMB26,647 of unrecognized tax benefits that if recognized would impact the annual effective tax rate, respectively.

12. Share-based payments
2019 Share Incentive Plan
On December 23, 2019, the board of directors of Beijing Camelot approved a share-based incentive plan to grant share options to employees of Beijing Camelot and its subsidiaries (the “2019 Plan”). Beijing Camelot reserved 10,375,540 ordinary shares for issuance under the 2019 Plan. Awards granted under the 2019 Plan immediately vest on the grant date and have no future vesting conditions.
2020 Share Incentive Plan
On July 30, 2020, the board of directors of Beijing Camelot approved the 2020 Share Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”) with a maximum aggregate number of 7,996,500 ordinary shares that are authorized to be issued under the 2020 Plan. The share awards contain thirty-seven months of service vesting condition. All of the outstanding options under the 2019 Plan were cancelled and replaced by the 2020 Plan.

The aggregate fair values of the share-based awards vested during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020 and for the period ended September 3, 2021 were RMB12,699, nil and nil, respectively.
As of September 3, 2021, there were RMB8,931 of total unrecognized employee share-based compensation expenses, related to unvested share-based awards, which are expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2 years. Total unrecognized compensation cost may be adjusted for actual forfeitures occurring in the future.
Fair value of share options
The fair value of each option award was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model, with the assistance from an independent third-party firm. The volatility assumption was estimated based on reference made to historical volatility of several comparable companies. When estimating the expected term of the options, Camelot primarily considered when the grantees are expected to exercise the options and the expected post-vesting termination behavior as there is no contractual expiration date for these
