Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof? x Yes ¨ No |
If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.
The Company anticipates that there will be significant changes in its results of operations for FY2022 from the last fiscal year due to the scale-down of its marketing solutions business, uncertainties in the macro-economic environment from pandemic impact, which led to reduced budget and spending from clients and a broad-based slowdown in the advertising market in China, and increased competition in the SaaS market. In particular, the Company anticipates a significant decrease in net revenues from US$307.7 million in 2021 to approximately US$170 million in FY2022. The Company also expects to record a significant impairment of intangible assets under cost of revenues of no more than US$50 million in 2022 relating to its online advertising service. As a result, the Company expects to record a gross loss of approximately US$5 million in 2022, compared to gross profit of US$89.2 million in 2021. In addition, the Company expects to record significant impairment of goodwill and other long-lived assets of approximately US$80 million and US$5 million in 2022, respectively. As a result, the Company expects to record a net loss of no less than US$200 million in 2022.

As of December 31, 2022, the Company had cash and cash equivalents, time deposits and restricted cash of no more than US$106 million. Subsequent to December 31, 2022, available facilities from certain banks to the Group were reduced whereby total undrawn facilities available for draw-down, net of bank deposits that would need to be pledged as restricted cash upon utilization of the facilities as of February 28, 2023 dropped to no more than US$19 million.
The above financial data included in Part IV is based on the Company’s currently available information and is subject to change upon finalization of the FY2022 Financial Statements. The Company’s reported material weaknesses from its fiscal year 2021 Form 20-F remain outstanding.
