Overview
JIADE LIMITED (the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) (Nasdaq: JDZG) is an exempted company with limited liability incorporated in the Cayman Islands and not a Chinese operating company, and this corporate structure involves unique risks to investors. As an exempted company with no material operations of our own, we conduct all of our operations primarily through our subsidiaries in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”); namely, Shenzhen Kebiao Technology Co., Ltd., a limited liability company organized under the laws of the PRC (“Shenzhen Kebiao”), Sichuan Jiade Zhigao Technology Co., Ltd., a limited liability company organized under the laws of the PRC (“Jiade Zhigao”), and Sichuan Kebiao Technology Co., Ltd., a PRC limited liability company (“Kebiao Technology). Our PRC subsidiaries are companies that specialize in providing one-stop comprehensive education supporting services to adult education institutions, through a wide spectrum of software platform and auxiliary solutions, to meet the evolving needs of their customers in the rapidly changing adult education industry.
Our PRC subsidiaries’ services are primarily offered through the Kebiao Technology Educational Administration Platform (the “KB Platform”), which facilitates streamlined information and data management throughout the teaching cycle of adult education services, from pre-enrollment to post-graduation. The KB Platform has enabled adult education institutions to improve student management efficiency, save labor costs, and reduce human errors in data management. The KB Platform supports a broad range of functions, such as enrollment consultation, student information collection, enrollment status management, learning progress management, grade inquiry, and graduation management.
As part of the one-stop comprehensive education supporting services, our PRC subsidiaries also provide auxiliary solutions to adult education institutions, which encompass teaching support services throughout the entire teaching cycle and related exam administration services. Specifically, our PRC subsidiaries offer pre-enrollment guidance on school/major selection and application strategy development, training for entrance exams, as well as assistance in the application process. They also provide offline tutoring, exam administration services, and guidance on graduation thesis preparation.
Our PRC subsidiaries place a great premium on technology research and development. As of the date of this report, our PRC subsidiaries have acquired 36 software copyrights since their incorporation in April 2020. In November 2022, Kebiao Technology was designated a High and New Technology Enterprise (“HNTE”) (No. GR202251000919) by Sichuan Provincial Department of Science and Technology, Sichuan Provincial Department of Finance, and Sichuan Provincial Tax Bureau of the State Taxation Administration. This certification is awarded to companies that have engaged in continuous research and development and technology commercialization leading to significant independent intellectual property rights within certain high-tech sectors.
Our PRC subsidiaries’ business has experienced rapid growth since their inception. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2024, we had total revenue of approximately RMB7,526,000 and RMB8,921,000 (US$1,228,000), respectively. Our net income was approximately RMB4,582,000 and RMB5,219,000 (US$718,000) for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2024. As of December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2024, our PRC subsidiaries had cash of approximately RMB7,082,000 and RMB62,637,000 (US$8,619,000), respectively, and had working capital of approximately RMB15,403,000 and RMB65,438,000 (US$9,005,000), respectively. As of June 30, 2024, our PRC subsidiaries had collectively provided technological support services to over 17 adult education institutions and had collectively provided support services to approximately 80,000 students.

Our PRC subsidiaries generate revenue from providing adult education supporting services. Our PRC subsidiaries enter into service contracts with adult education institutions to provide education supporting services through (i) software platform solutions, which facilitate streamlined information and data management throughout the teaching cycle of adult education services, from pre-enrollment to post- graduation, and (ii) auxiliary solutions to students designated by adult education institutions, which encompass teaching support services throughout the entire teaching cycle and related exam administration services.
Total revenue increased by approximately RMB1,395,000 (US$192,000), or 19%, to approximately RMB8,921,000 (US$1,228,000) for the six months ended June 30, 2024 from approximately RMB7,526,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in revenue was mainly attributable to: (i) an increase in revenue generated from third parties, amounting to approximately RMB2,248,000 (US$309,000), due to the growing scale of adult education institutions served by our PRC subsidiaries (for the six months ended June 30, 2024, our PRC subsidiaries served 12 adult education institutions with an aggregate of 72,096 students, compared to 12 adult education institutions with approximately 48,121 students for the six months ended June 30, 2023); (ii) partially offset by a decrease in revenue generated from a related party, amounting to approximately RMB853,000 (US$117,000), as a related party was reclassified as a third party effective February 20, 2023,while the overall revenue generated from the former related party, Chengdu Jinjiang New Vision Training School, increased by approximately RMB54,000 (US$7,000) for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023; and (iii) partially offset by a decrease in the average service price per student from RMB156 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 to RMB124 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to discounts provided by our PRC subsidiaries to certain customers in 2024.

Revenue from providing services related to National Unified Examination for College Admissions increased by approximately RMB752,000 (US$103,000), or 30%, primarily due to (i) the increased number of students served from 17,171 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 to 22,919 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, mainly as a result of our stronger business relationships with existing adult education institution customers and (ii) the average service price per student (for services related to National Unified Examination for College Admissions for Adults) remaining stable from RMB147 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 to RMB143 for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
3
Revenue from providing services related to the Open University of China decreased by approximately RMB1,528,000 (US$210,000), or 34%, primarily due to (i) the decrease in the average service price per student (for services related to the Open University of China) from RMB160 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 to RMB88 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, and (ii) partially offset by an increase in the number of students served from 27,852 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 to 33,353 for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The reduction in the service price per student was mainly due to the increased number of graduating students we served, for whom we charged lower fees.
Revenue from providing services related to Self-taught Higher Education Examinations increased by approximately RMB2,189,000 (US$301,000), or 432%, primarily due to (i) the increased number of students served from 3,031 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 to 15,757 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, mainly as a result of our stronger business relationships with existing adult education institution customers, and (ii) the average service price per student (for services related to National Unified Examination for College Admissions for Adults) remaining stable from RMB167 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 to RMB171 for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Revenue from providing services related to online education decreased by approximately RMB17,000 (US$2,000), or 50%, primarily due to the decrease in the average service price per student (for services related to online education) from RMB516 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 to RMB258 for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The reduction in the service price per student was mainly due to the enhanced competition and the discounts granted by the PRC subsidiaries to certain customers.
Costs and expenses
Our costs and expenses consist of direct cost of revenue, selling expenses, general and administrative expenses, and research and development expenses.

Total direct cost of revenue decreased by approximately RMB30,000 (US$4,000), or 7%, from approximately RMB430,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 to approximately RMB400,000 (US$55,000) for the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to fewer customized services, such as training services purchased by our PRC subsidiaries in the first half of 2024.
Cost of services decreased by approximately RMB24,000 (US$3,000), or 36%, from approximately RMB67,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 to approximately RMB43,000 (US$6,000) for the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to fewer training services purchased by our PRC subsidiaries to meet their students’ specific requirements, such as in-person courses.
Employee benefit costs increased by approximately RMB13,000 (US$2,000), or 4%, from approximately RMB325,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 to approximately RMB339,000 (US$47,000) for the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily because our PRC subsidiaries increased the staff salaries.
Other costs primarily represented short rental expenses related to exams, student card photo production fees, travelling expenses, business taxes and surcharges and others.

Total general and administrative expenses increased by approximately RMB451,000 (US$62,000), or 41%, to approximately RMB1,550,000 (US$213,000) for the six months ended June 30, 2024 from approximately RMB1,100,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative expenses were approximately 15% and 17% of our total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2024, respectively. The increase in total general and administrative expenses was primarily attributable to: (i) the increase in salary and employee benefits of our management department resulting from the increase in compensation of independent directors and the recruitment of additional employees for our management department, and the increase in listing fees and expenses related to the celebration banquet for successfully listing the Company’s ordinary shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market, and (ii) partially offset by the decrease in rental expenses and depreciation expenses resulting from early termination of a property lease.

| Total research and development expenses | 188,510 | 100 | % | 213,122 | 29,327 | 100 | % | 24,612 | 13 | % |
Total research and development expenses increased by approximately RMB25,000 (US$3,000), or 13%, to approximately RMB213,000 (US$29,000) for the six months ended June 30, 2024 from approximately RMB189,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in total research and development expenses was primarily due to the increase in salary and employee benefits of our PRC subsidiaries’ R&D department resulting from the addition of one employee to our R&D department and the increase in consulting expenses of approximately RMB20,000 related to HNTE services fees; and partially offset the decrease in rental expenses and depreciation expenses resulting from early termination of a property lease.
As a percentage of revenue, research and development expenses were approximately 3% and 2% of our total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2024, respectively. Our PRC subsidiaries expect to continue to invest in research and development to maintain their competitive edge against other market participators.
Other income (expenses)
Our other income (expenses) primarily represented interest income, interest expenses, rent subsidies, and government grants. Other expenses increased by approximately RMB116,000 (US$16,000), or 56%, from approximately RMB206,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 to approximately RMB322,000 (US$44,000) for the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to (i) a net loss of approximately RMB251,000 from the disposal of leasehold improvements in the first half of 2023, compared to a gain of approximately RMB51,000 from lease terminations during the same period, with no such activities recorded in the first half of 2024, and (ii) a government grant of RMB305,000 for HNTE and a foreign exchange loss of RMB594,000 recorded in the first half of 2024, compared to no such amounts in the first half of 2023.
Income before income taxes
Income before income taxes was approximately RMB6,177,000 (US$850,000) for the six months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of approximately RMB810,000 (US$111,000) as compared to approximately RMB5,367,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily attributable to the increased revenue.
Provision for income taxes
Our provision for income taxes was approximately RMB958,000 (US$132,000) for the six months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of RMB173,000 (US$24,000) from RMB785,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increased income tax provision was mainly due to increased taxable income in 2024.

Under the EIT Law, domestic enterprises and Foreign Investment Enterprises are usually subject to a unified 25% enterprise income tax rate while preferential tax rates, tax holidays, and even tax exemption may be granted on a case-by-case basis. The EIT Law grants preferential tax treatment to HNTEs. Under this preferential tax treatment, HNTEs are entitled to an income tax rate of 15%, subject to a requirement that they re-apply for HNTE status every three years. Kebiao Technology, one of our PRC subsidiaries, was approved as an HNTE on November 2, 2022. As a result, Kebiao Technology was entitled to a reduced income tax rate of 15% in 2023 and 2024.
According to the Announcement of the State Taxation Administration on the Implementation of Income Tax Preferential Policies to Support the Development of Small Low Profit Enterprises and Individual Businesses, 25% of the annual taxable income of small low profit enterprises that does not exceed RMB1 million will be included in the taxable income, and the enterprise income tax will be paid at the rate of 20%. Jiade Zhigao is eligible for the above preferential tax policies for small and micro enterprises in 2023 and 2024.
The impact of the tax holidays noted above decreased taxes by approximately RMB537,000 and RMB568,000 (US$78,000) for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2024, respectively. The impact of the benefit of the tax holidays on net income per share (basic and diluted) was RMB0.02 and RMB0.02 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2024, respectively.
The following table reconciles the China statutory rates to our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2024:

Net income
Our net income was approximately RMB5,219,000 (US$718,000) for the six months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of approximately RMB637,000 (US$88,000) from approximately RMB4,582,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in net income was primarily due to the higher revenue in the first half of 2024, as discussed above under revenue sections.
