Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On May 7, 2020, Scienjoy
Holding Corporation (“SHC”, or we), formerly known as Wealthbridge Acquisition Limited (“Wealthbridge”),
consummated the transactions (the “Business Combination”) contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share
Exchange Agreement”), dated as of October 28, 2019, by and among SHC, Scienjoy, Lavacano Holdings Limited (“Lavacano”),
and WBY Entertainment Holdings Ltd. (“WBY”, together with Lavacano, the “Sellers”), pursuant to which SHC
acquired 100% the issued and outstanding equity interests of Scienjoy from the Sellers and changed its name to Scienjoy Holding
Corporation.
Scienjoy, through its subsidiaries and
VIE Entities, is engaged in the operation of a live streaming platform in China. Scienjoy operates its live streaming communities
through multiple platforms, each with its own mobile app. It currently operates the business primarily through three platforms:
Showself Live Streaming, Lehai Live Streaming and Haixiu Live Streaming.
Upon the closing of the
Business Combination, SHC acquired 100% the issued and outstanding equity interests of Scienjoy in exchange for approximately 16.4
million ordinary shares of SHC, of which 1.64 million ordinary shares are held in escrow to satisfy any indemnification obligations
of the Sellers, and 3,000,000 shares as part of Sellers’ earn-out consideration are issued to the Sellers. SHC also issued
63,250 shares to Sellers upon conversion of the promissory note issued to Scienjoy on January 29, 2020. In addition to the aforementioned
earn-out consideration, the Sellers may be entitled to receive earnout shares as follows: (1) if Scienjoy’s net income before
tax for the year ended December 31, 2020 is greater than or equal to either US$28,300,000 or RMB 190,000,000, the Sellers will
be entitled to receive 3,000,000 ordinary shares of SHC (subject to the reclassification of the ordinary shares of SHC as set forth
in the Share Exchange Agreement); and (2) if Scienjoy’s net income before tax for the year ended December 31, 2021 is greater
than or equal to either US$35,000,000 or RMB 235,000,000, the Sellers will be entitled to receive 3,000,000 ordinary shares of
SHC (subject to the reclassification of the ordinary shares of SHC as set forth in the Share Exchange Agreement). Notwithstanding
the net income before tax achieved by the post-transaction company for any period, the Sellers will receive (i) 3,000,000 earnout
shares if the share price of SHC is higher than $20.00 for any sixty days in any period of ninety consecutive trading days between
May 8, 2021 and May 7, 2022, and (ii) 3,000,000 earnout shares if the share price of SHC is higher than $25.00 for any sixty days
in any period of ninety consecutive trading between May 8, 2022 and May 7, 2023.
The Share Exchange Agreement is described
more fully in the section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal” and “The Share Exchange Agreement”
beginning on pages 66 and 76, respectively, of the definitive proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) filed with the

of the Share Exchange Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the provisions of the Share Exchange Agreement filed

terms of the Form Indemnification Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the provisions of the Form Indemnification
Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.13 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, which is incorporated herein.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The disclosure for Scienjoy as of and for
the years ended December 31, 2017, 2018 and 2019 are contained in the Proxy Statement in the section entitled “Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Scienjoy” beginning on page 129 and is incorporated
herein by reference. The following discussion and analysis are for Scienjoy as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2019
and 2020.
Overview
We are a leading provider of mobile entertainment
live streaming platforms in China and operates its platforms on both PC and mobile apps, through which users can enjoy immersive
and interactive entertainment live streaming. We had approximately 209 million registered users by the end of March 31, 2020. The
number of active users increased by 10% from approximately of 11.1 million in the same period of last year to approximately 12.2
million for the three months ended March 31, 2020.
We adopt a multi-platform strategy and all
platforms are categorized as “SHOW live streaming” in which professional broadcasters provide live streaming entertainment
for users primarily in the form of performances (such as singing, dancing, and talk shows). Broadcasters on all platforms have
been professionally trained by relevant broadcaster agents to provide more professional content. Despite the similarity in contents,
the different platforms adopt different operation strategies, such as, to name a few, different broadcaster policy, events, promotion,
and games. We provide a technological infrastructure to enable broadcasters, online users and viewers to interact with each other
during live streaming. All platforms can be accessed for free. We mainly derive our revenue from sales of virtual items on the
platforms. Users can purchase virtual currency to purchase virtual items for use on the platforms. Users can recharge their virtual
currency on the platforms through various online third-party payment platforms, such as WeChat Pay or AliPay.
On January 10, 2020, the Company entered
into a purchase agreement with the former shareholder of Lixiaozhi (Chongqing) Internet Technology Co., Ltd. (“LXZ”)
to acquire 100% equity interest in LXZ with a cash consideration of RMB200 (US$28). We believe the acquisition of LXZ helps to
enrich its product line, expand its user base and capitalize on the growth potential in the live streaming market.
Coronavirus (“COVID-19”)
updates
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused widespread
disruptions in the first quarter of 2020. During the first quarter, our operations were closed during January and February due
to China government mandates and we moved quickly to transition our colleague base to a fully remote working environment in all
our locations. We have sought to ensure our colleagues feel secure in their jobs and have the flexibility and resources they need
to stay safe and healthy. To support our online users and broadcasters, we are optimizing our technology system to support potential
growth in user traffic and adding more live streaming entertainment contents for longer view time as well as continuing to provide
the high level of technical support service they expect and rely on. Since the beginning of March 2020, substantially all of our
employee have been back to work in our offices. During the first quarter of 2020, despite the pandemic outbreak caused by COVID-19,
our users staying at home are spending more time online, including watching livestreaming shows, as a result, we continued to see
solid growth in line with the quarter of last year. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, our revenue increased by 15% to
RMB216.3 million from RMB188.6 million in the same quarter of last year and our net income increased by 40% to RMB37.7 million
from RMB26.9 million in the same quarter of last year.
In the quarter ended March 31, 2020, the
COVID-19 pandemic did not have a material net impact on our consolidated financial positions and operating results. The extent
of the impact on our second quarter 2020 results and beyond will be dependent on future developments such as the length and severity
of the crisis, the potential resurgence of the crisis, future government actions in response to the crisis and the overall impact
of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global economy and capital markets, among many other factors, all of which remain highly uncertain
and unpredictable. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic could impact the health of our management team and other employees. The Company
continues taking actions to help mitigate, as best we can, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the health and well-being of
our employees, the communities in which we operate and our partners, as well as the impact on our operations and business as a
whole. However, there can be no assurance that the COVID-19 pandemic will not have a material and adverse impact on our operations,
financial condition, liquidity and results of operations if the current situation continue.

Revenues
Our revenues consist of live streaming revenue
and technical services revenue. We also generate technical services revenue from providing technical development and advisory services,
but the technical services revenue accounts for less than 1% of revenue and is immaterial. We generates its revenue mostly from
the sales of virtual items used in its live streaming business.
Virtual items are categorized as consumable
and time-based items. Consumable items, as virtual gift service, are consumed and used by users upon purchase, while time-based
virtual items, such as privilege titles, could be used for a fixed period of time. Accordingly, revenue is recognized at the time
when the virtual item is delivered and consumed if the virtual item is a consumable item or, in the case of time-based virtual
item, recognized ratably over the period each virtual item is made available to the user, which is usually over one to multiple
months and does not exceed one year. For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2020, revenue from consumable virtual items
represented approximately 97% of the total net revenue.
As we continue to grow its live streaming
business, and enhance its user engagement and expand virtual gifting scenarios to increase users’ willingness to pay, our
revenue from the sales of virtual items in its live streaming business continues to increase.

Live streaming contributed 53% to 55% of the paying users for the all the periods indicated. Our ARPPU in each platform may fluctuate
from period to period due to the mix of live streaming services purchased by the paying users. The overall ARPPU for the three
months ended March 31, 2019 and 2020 was RMB1,355 and RMB889, respectively. The increase in revenue during the three months ended
March 31, 2020 was mainly a result of a significant increase in paying users by comparing with the three months ended March 31,
2019.

Revenue sharing fees and content
cost: Revenue sharing fees represent its payment to broadcasters based on a percentage of revenue from sales of virtual items,
including virtual gifts and other subscription based privileges. During the first quarter of 2020, revenue sharing fees and content
cost increased by 11% to RMB139.2 million from RMB125.2 million in the same quarter of last year. The increase in the sharing fees
and content cost for live streaming revenue was in line with the growth of its live streaming operations. Revenue sharing fees
were 66% and 64% of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2020, respectively.
User acquisition costs: We acquire
users primarily through viral marketing, or word-of-mouth marketing, and online download. We provide online downloads of its apps
via various third-party websites, including online advertising networks, internet portals and mobile application stores and pay
such third parties a fee for each registered user account acquired through them. User acquisition costs decreased by RMB4.9 million
from RMB22.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 to RMB17.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. With
increasing brand awareness and increased quality content provided by Broadcasters, the Company expects user acquisition costs to
decrease.
Bandwidth related cost: Bandwidth
related cost consists of fees that we pay to telecommunication service providers for server hosting, bandwidth and content delivery-related
services such as CDN (content delivery network). The Company incurred approximately RMB1.0 million in bandwidth related cost for
the three months ended March 31, 2020, decreased 49% from RMB1.9 million bandwidth related cost for the same period in 2019. With
the increasing competition in hosting and bandwidth market and optimized technology, we were able to cut down bandwidth related
costs with its growing live streaming operations.
Others: Other costs include (i) fees
that we pay to third-party payment processing platforms through which its users purchase its virtual currencies, technology service
costs, and content producing costs, (ii) personnel fees directly related to the revenue such as operation employees’ salary
and benefits, and (iii) depreciation and amortization expense for servers and other equipment, and intangibles directly related
to operating the platforms. For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2020, other cost represented approximately 2% and 3%
of related total revenue, respectively.
Gross profits
Our gross profits increased by RMB16.4 million
or 47% from RMB35.4 million in the first quarter of 2019 to RMB51.8 million in the first quarter of 2020. Gross margin as a percent
of overall revenue for the first quarter of 2019 was 24%, significantly improved from 19% in the first quarter of 2019. As explained
in the cost of revenues, with increasing brand awareness and increased quality content provided by Broadcasters, our user acquisition
cost in the first quarter of 2020 decreased by 22% from the same period of last year and represented 8% of revenues for the three
months ended March 31, 2020 comparing to 12% in the same quarter of last year, thereby improved our gross margin in the first quarter
of 2020.
Operating Expenses
Our operating expenses consists of (i) sales
and marketing expenses, (ii) research and development expenses, (iii) general and administrative expenses, and (iv) provision for
doubtful accounts.

Sales and marketing expenses: Sales
and marketing expenses mainly consist of (i) salaries and benefits for sales and marketing employees, and (ii) branding and advertisement
expenses, including advertisements, holding promotional events and developing and designing marketing campaigns. For the three
months ended March 31, 2020, the sales and marketing expense increased by 74% to RMB1.4 million from RMB0.8 million in the same
period of last year due to more promotion activities incurred in the first quarter of 2020 as more online users spent more time
at home watching our live streaming content.
General and administrative expenses:
General and administrative expenses primarily consist of (i) salaries and benefits for its general and administrative staff, (ii)
consulting fees and professional fees, (iii) other expenses primarily including general office expenses, and (iv) office rental
expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the general and administrative expense increased by 147% to RMB3.5 million
from RMB1.4 million in the same period of last year primarily due to the increase in payroll and employee benefits with more headcounts
and higher consulting and professional fees incurred related to the listing in Nasdaq capital market.
Research and development expenses:
Research and development expenses primarily consist of (i) salaries and benefits for its research and development employees, and
(ii) other expenses primarily including depreciation related to research use. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the research
and development expense increased by 63% to RMB6.4 million from RMB3.9 million in the same period of last year due to increased
R&D headcounts with more salary and benefits incurred.
Provision for doubtful accounts:
We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts which reflects its best estimate of amounts that potentially will not be collected.
When we determine the allowance for doubtful accounts, it takes into consideration various factors including but not limited to
collection history and credit-worthiness of the debtors as well as the age of the individual receivables account. For the three
months ended March 31, 2020, the provision for doubtful accounts decreased by 36% to RMB0.4 million from RMB0.7 million in the
same period of last year. We expect that the provision for doubtful accounts to decline as it has committed more resources to collection
of account receivables.
Net Income
As a result of the foregoing, Our net income
for the first quarter 2020 increased by 40% to RMB37.7 million from RMB26.9 million in the first quarter of 2019 and the net profit
margin increased from 14% in the first quarter of 2019 to 17% in the first quarter of 2020.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The discussion and analysis of our financial
condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these condensed consolidated
financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect our reported assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses,
and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate our estimates on an on-going basis and use them on historical
experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances as the basis for making judgments
about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ
from these estimates because of different assumptions or conditions.
We believe the following critical accounting
policies affect our significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements.
These policies should be read in conjunction with Note 2 of the notes to unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Business combinations
The Company accounts for all business combinations
under the purchase method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). The purchase
method of accounting requires that the consideration transferred to be allocated to net assets including separately identifiable
assets and liabilities the Company acquired, based on their estimated fair value. The consideration transferred in an acquisition
is measured as the aggregate of the fair values at the date of exchange of the assets given, liabilities incurred, and equity instruments
issued as well as the contingent considerations and all contractual contingencies as of the acquisition date. The costs directly
attributable to the acquisition are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired
or assumed are measured separately at their fair value as of the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any non-controlling
interests. The excess of (i) the total of the cost of the acquisition, fair value of the non-controlling interests and acquisition
date fair value of any previously held equity interest in the acquiree over (ii) the fair value of the identifiable net assets
of the acquiree is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the identifiable net assets
of the acquiree, the difference is recognized directly in earnings. The determination and allocation of fair values to the identifiable
net assets acquired and liabilities assumed is based on various assumptions and valuation methodologies requiring considerable
judgment from management.. Although the Group believes that the assumptions applied in the determination are reasonable based on
information available at the date of acquisition, actual results may differ from forecasted amounts and the differences could be
material.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts receivable are stated at the historical
carrying amount net of allowance for doubtful accounts. Accounts are considered overdue after 180 days.
We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts
which reflects its best estimate of amounts that potentially will not be collected. We take into consideration various factors
to determine the allowance for doubtful accounts, including but not limited to, historical collection experience and credit-worthiness
of the debtors as well as the age of the individual receivables balance. Additionally, we make specific bad debt provisions based
on any specific knowledge which we have acquired that might indicate that an account is uncollectible. The facts and circumstances
for each account may require us to use judgment in assessing its collectability.
Account balances are charged off against the allowance after
all means of collection have been exhausted and the likelihood of collection is not probable.
Revenue Recognition
On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted
ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” using the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts
which were not completed as of January 1, 2019. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2019 are presented under
Topic 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the Company’s historic
accounting under Topic 605. Based on the Company’s assessment, the adoption of ASC 606 did not result in any adjustment on
the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and there were no material differences between the Company’s adoption
of ASC 606 and its historic accounting under ASC 605.
Revenues are recognized when control of
the promised virtual items or services is transferred to the Company’s customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration
the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those virtual items or services. Revenue is recorded, net of sales related
taxes and surcharges. The Company derives their revenue from live streaming service and technical service.
Live Streaming
The Company is principally engaged in operating
its own live streaming platforms, which enable broadcasters and viewers to interact with each other during live streaming. The
Company is responsible for providing a technological infrastructure to enable the broadcasters, online users and viewers to interact
through live streaming platforms. All the platforms can be accessed for free. The Company mainly derives the revenue from sales
of virtual items in the platforms. The Company has a recharge system for users to purchase the Company’s virtual currency
then purchase virtual items for use. Users can recharge via various online third-party payment platforms, including WeChat Pay,
AliPay and other payment platforms.
Virtual currency is non-refundable and
often consumed soon after it is purchased.
The Company designs, creates and offers
various virtual items for sales to users with pre-determined stand-alone selling price. Virtual items are categorized as consumable
and time-based items. Consumable items are consumed upon purchase and use while time-based items could be used for a fixed period
of time. Users can purchase and present consumable items to broadcasters to show support for their favorite broadcasters, or purchase
time-based virtual items for one or multiple months for a monthly fee, which provide users with recognized status, such as priority
speaking rights or special symbols over a period of time.
The Company shares a portion of the sales
proceeds of virtual items (“revenue sharing fee”) with broadcasters and talent agencies in accordance with their revenue
sharing arrangements. Broadcasters, who do not have revenue sharing arrangements with the Company, are not entitled to any revenue
sharing fee. The Company also utilizes third-party payment collection channels, which charges the payment handling cost for users
to purchase the virtual currency directly from it. The payment handling costs are recorded in cost of sales.
The Company evaluates and determines that
it is the principal and views users to be its customers, because the Company controls the virtual items before they are transferred
to users. Its control is evidenced by the Company’s sole ability to monetize the virtual items before they are transferred
to users, and is further supported by the Company being primarily responsible to the users for the delivery of the virtual items
as well as having full discretion in establishing pricing for the virtual items. Accordingly, the Company reports live streaming
revenues on a gross basis with the amounts billed to users recorded as revenues and revenue sharing fee paid to broadcasters and
related agencies recorded as cost of revenues.
Sales proceeds are initially recorded as
deferred revenue and recognized as revenue based on the consumption of the virtual items. The Company has determined that each
individual virtual item represents a distinct performance obligation. Accordingly, live streaming revenue is recognized immediately
when the consumable virtual item is used, or in the case of time-based virtual items, revenue is recognized over the fixed period
on a straight line basis. The Company does not have further obligations to the user after the virtual items are consumed. The Company’s
live streaming virtual items are generally sold without right of return and the Company does not provide any other credit and incentive
to its users. Unconsumed virtual currency is recorded as deferred revenue.
The Company also cooperates with independent
third-party distributors to sell virtual currency through annual distribution agreements with these distributors. Third-party distributors
purchase virtual currency from the Company with no refund provision according to the annual distribution agreements, and they are
responsible for selling the virtual currency to end users. They may engage their own sales representatives, which are referred
to as “sales agents” to directly sell to individual end users. The Company has no control over such “sales agents”.
The Company has discretion to determine the price of the virtual currency sold to its third-party distributors, but has no discretion
as to the price at which virtual currency is sold by its third-party distributors to the sales agents.
Technical Services
We generate technical services revenues
from providing technical development and advisory services, which accounts for only less than 1% of revenue. As the amount was
immaterial, and short-term in nature, which is usually less than six months, we recognize revenue when service was rendered and
accepted by customers.
Practical expedients and exemptions
The Company’s contracts have an original
duration of one year or less. Accordingly, the Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations.
Contract balances
Contract balances include accounts receivable
and deferred revenue. Accounts receivable primarily represent cash due from distributors and are recorded when the right to consideration
is unconditional. The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects the best estimate of probable losses inherent to the account receivable
balance. Deferred revenue primarily includes unconsumed virtual currency and unamortized revenue from virtual items in the Company’s
platforms, where there is still an obligation to be provided by the Company, which will be recognized as revenue when all of the
revenue recognition criteria are met. Due to the generally short-term duration of the relevant contracts, the majority of the performance
obligations are satisfied within one year.
Income Taxes
We account for current income taxes in accordance
with the laws of the relevant tax authorities. We follow the liability method in accounting for income taxes in accordance to ASC
topic 740 (“ASC 740”), Income Taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on
the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be in
effect in the period in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance would be recorded against deferred
tax assets if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that some portion, or all, of the deferred
tax assets will not be realized.
The guidance on accounting for uncertainties
in income taxes prescribes a more likely than not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position
taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Guidance was also provided on recognition of income tax assets and liabilities,
classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with
tax positions, accounting for income taxes in interim periods, and income tax disclosures. Significant judgment is required in
evaluating our uncertain tax positions and determining the provision for income taxes. We recognize interests and penalties, if
any, under accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the balance sheet and under other expenses in the statement of comprehensive
loss. We did not recognize any interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions for the three months ended March
31, 2019 and 2020. As of December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2020, we did not have any significant unrecognized uncertain tax positions.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No.
2016-02 (“ASU 2016-02”), Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-02 specifies the accounting for leases. For operating
leases, ASU 2016-02 requires a lessee to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability, initially measured at the present
value of the lease payments, in its balance sheet. The standard also requires a lessee to recognize a single lease cost, calculated
so that the cost of the lease is allocated over the lease term, on a generally straight-line basis. In July 2018, ASU 2018-11,
the FASB further amended the guidance to provide another transition method in addition to the existing transition method by allowing
entities to initially apply the new leases standard at the adoption date and recognize an accumulative-effective adjustment to
the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. For non-public business entities, this aforementioned guidance
is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2020. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10, by which to defer the effective date for all other entities
by an additional year. Early adoption is permitted. As of March 31, 2020, the Company has RMB22,424 (US$3,161) of future minimum
operating lease commitments that are not currently recognized on its consolidated balance sheets. Therefore, the Company would
expect changes to its consolidated balance sheets for the recognition of these and any additional leases entered into in the future
upon adoption.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13
(“ASU 2016-13”), Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial
Instruments. ASU 2016-13 changes the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments. The standard will
replace “incurred loss” approach with an “expected loss” model for instruments measured at amortized cost.
The standard is effective for non-public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods
within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect this guidance will
have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU No.
2018-17 (“ASU 2018-17”), Consolidation (Topic 810): Targeted Improvements to Related Party Guidance for Variable Interest
Entities. The updated guidance requires entities to consider indirect interests held through related parties under common control
on a proportional basis rather than as the equivalent of a direct interest in its entirety when determining whether a decision-making
fee is a variable interest. The amendments in this update are effective for non-public business entities for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted.
These amendments should be applied retrospectively with a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings at the beginning of
the earliest period presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on its consolidated financial
statements.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No.
2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, to simplify the accounting for income taxes. The
new guidance eliminates certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating
income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. It also simplifies
aspects of the accounting for franchise taxes and enacted changes in tax laws or rates and clarifies the accounting for transactions
that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. This ASU will become effective for the Company’s annual and interim
periods beginning in January 1, 2021, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of this standard on
its consolidated financial statements.
In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01,
Investments - Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging
(Topic 815) (“ASU 2020-01”), which is intended to clarify the interaction of the accounting for equity securities under
Topic 321 and investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting in Topic 323 and the accounting for certain forward
contracts and purchased options accounted for under Topic 815. ASU 2020-01 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2021.
The Company is currently evaluating the effect of adopting this ASU on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Flows and Working Capital
Our sources of liquidity are primarily from
the cash earned from its operating activities and cash by financing activities. Financial instruments that potentially subject
us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. Our cash and cash equivalents consist
of cash on hand and demand deposits placed with banks or other financial institutions which are unrestricted as to withdrawal and
use and have original maturities less than three months. Cash and cash equivalents also consist of funds earned from the operating
revenues which were held at the third party platform fund accounts which are unrestricted as to immediate use or withdraw.
The COVID-19 pandemic created significant
economic uncertainty and volatility in the credit and capital markets during the first quarter of 2020. Given the ongoing COVID-19
pandemic, challenging market conditions resulting in significant spending cuts, we continue to remain focused on maintaining a
strong balance sheet and adequate liquidity. Over the near term, we plan to adjust our overall cost structures commensurate with
our expected level of activities. We believe that our cash on hand and internally generated cash flows will be sufficient to fund
our operations over at least the next 12 months.
As of March 31, 2020, we have cash and cash
equivalents of approximately RMB183.4 million deposited with financial institutions and the third-party payment platforms located
in the PRC, which increased by 34% from RMB137.4 million as of December 31, 2019. Our working capital increased by 22% to approximately
RMB200.7 million as of March 31, 2020 from RMB164.1 million as of December 31, 2019. We do not have any short term investments
as of December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2020.
A majority of our expense transactions are
denominated in RMB and a significant portion of assets and liabilities of us are denominated in RMB. RMB is not freely convertible
into foreign currencies. In the PRC certain foreign exchange transactions are required by law to be transacted only by authorized
financial institutions at exchange rates set by the PBOC. Remittances in currencies other than RMB by us in China must be processed
through the PBOC or other PRC foreign exchange regulatory bodies which require certain supporting documentation in order to effect
the remittance.
The financial institutions that We use mainly
include China Zheshang Bank and Agriculture Bank of China, which are Listed Banks in PRC capital markets. In China, banks are endorsed
by the government. The third-party payment platforms mainly include Ali Pay and Apple Pay, both of which are well-known multinational
companies. While we believe that these financial institutions are of high credit quality, it also continually monitor their credit
worthiness.
We intend to finance its future working
capital requirements and capital expenditures from cash generated from operating activities and funds raised from financing activities.
We believe that its current cash and cash equivalents, together with its cash generated from operating activities and financing
activities, will be sufficient to meet its present anticipated working capital requirements and capital expenditures. However,
we may decide to enhance is liquidity position or increase its cash reserve for future investments or operations through additional
capital and finance funding. Issuance of additional equity securities, including convertible debt securities, would dilute our
earnings per share. The incurrence of debt would divert cash for working capital and capital expenditures to service debt obligations
and could result in operating and financial covenants that restrict our operations and our ability to pay dividends to its shareholders.
As a holding company with no material operations
of its own, we conducts our operations primarily through its PRC subsidiaries and its variable interest entity (VIE) and the VIE’s
subsidiaries. We are permitted under PRC laws and regulations to provide funding to its PRC subsidiaries in China through capital
contributions or loans, subject to the approval of government authorities and limits on the amount of capital contributions and
loans.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk
Interest Rate Risk
Our exposure to interest rate risk primarily
relates to the interest income generated by excess cash, which is mostly held in interest bearing bank deposits. We have not used
derivative financial instruments to manage its interest risk exposure. Interest earning instruments carry a degree of interest
rate risk. We has not been exposed to, nor does we anticipate being exposed to, material risks due to changes in market interest
rates.
Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject
us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables
included in prepaid expenses, other current assets, and amounts due from related parties. As of December 31 2019 and March 31,
2020, RMB134.8 and RMB181.5 million, respectively, were deposited with major financial institutions located in the PRC. Management
believes that these financial institutions are of high credit quality and continually monitor the credit worthiness of these financial
institutions. Historically, deposits in Chinese banks are secure due to the state policy on protecting depositors’ interests.
For the credit risk related to accounts
receivable, we performs ongoing credit evaluations of customers. We establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon estimates,
factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers and other information. The allowance amounts were immaterial for all
periods presented.
Foreign Exchange Risk
Substantially all of our businesses are
transacted 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. However, the unification
of the exchange rates does not imply the convertibility of RMB into US$ or other foreign currencies. All foreign exchange transactions
continue to take place either through the People’s Bank of China or other banks authorized to buy and sell foreign currencies
at the exchange rates quoted by the People’s Bank of China. Approval of foreign currency payments by the People’s Bank
of China or other institutions requires submitting a payment application form together with suppliers’ invoices, shipping
documents and signed contracts.
Properties
SHC’s principal executive offices
are located at 3rd - 6th Floor, JIA No. 34, Shenggu Nanli, Chaoyang District, Beijing, P.R. China, where SHC leases approximately
2000 square meters of office space as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K. SHC and its subsidiaries also lease an additional
approximately 1000 square meters of office space in Beijing and Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, P.R. China.

Virgin Islands, each of which as amended, and the common law of British Virgin Islands allow SHC to indemnify its officers and
directors from certain liabilities. The Articles provide that SHC shall indemnify against all expenses, including legal fees, and
against all judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred in connection with legal, administrative or
investigative proceedings any person who: (a) is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending
or completed proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that the person is or
was a director of SHC; or (b) is or was, at the request of SHC, serving as a director of, or in any other capacity is or was acting
for, another body corporate or a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise.
SHC will only indemnify the individual in
question if the relevant indemnitee acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of SHC and, in the case
of criminal proceedings, the indemnitee had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
The decision of the Board as to whether
an indemnitee acted honestly and in good faith and with a view to the best interests of SHC and as to whether such indemnitee had
no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful is, in the absence of fraud, sufficient for the purposes of the Articles,
unless a question of law is involved.
The decision of the directors as to whether
the person acted honestly and in good faith and with a view to the best interests of SHC and as to whether the person had no reasonable
cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful is, in the absence of fraud, sufficient for the purposes of the Articles, unless
a question of law is involved.
The termination of any proceedings by any
judgment, order, settlement, conviction or the entering of a nolle prosequi does not, by itself, create a presumption that the
person did not act honestly and in good faith and with a view to the best interests of SHC or that the person had reasonable cause
to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
SHC may purchase and maintain insurance
in relation to any person who is or was a director, officer or liquidator of SHC, or who, at the request of SHC, is or was serving

in the director service agreement by and between SHC and each of its incumbent non-executive directors provide for a scope of indemnification
consistent with the scope described in the foregoing paragraphs in this section.
