As of December 31, 2024, the Group had net operating loss carry forwards of approximately RMB5,212.9 million which arose from the subsidiaries established in the PRC. For all subsidiaries in China, the loss carry forwards will expire from 2025 to 2029.

 

A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the amount of deferred tax assets if it is considered more likely than not that amount of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In making such determination, the Group evaluates a variety of factors including the Group’s operating history, accumulated deficit, the existence of taxable temporary differences and reversal periods.

 

The Group has incurred net accumulated operating losses for income tax purposes since its inception. The Group believes that it is more likely than not that these its net operating losses and other deferred tax assets will not be utilized in the future. Therefore, the Group has provided full valuation allowances for the deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2024.
