Revenue recognition
The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC Topic 606) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019. The ASU requires the use of a new five-step model to recognize revenue from customer contracts. The five-step model requires that the Company (i) identifies the contract with the customer, (ii) identifies the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determines the transaction price, including variable consideration to the extent that it is probable that a significant future reversal will not occur, (iv) allocates the transaction price to the respective performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognizes revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies the performance obligation.
The application of the five-step model to the revenue streams compared to the prior guidance did not result in significant changes in the way the Company records its revenue. Upon adoption, the Company evaluated its revenue recognition policy for all revenue streams within the scope of the ASU under previous standards and using the five-step model under the new guidance and confirmed that there were no differences in the pattern of revenue recognition.
(i) AR Advertising Services
— AR advertising display services
AR advertisements are the use of holographic materials integrated into advertisement on the online media platforms or offline display. The Company’s performance obligation is to identify advertising spaces, embed holographic AR images or videos into films, shows and short form videos that are hosted by leading online streaming platforms in China. Revenue is recognized at a point in time when the related services have been delivered based on the specific terms of the contract, which are commonly based on specific action (i.e. cost per impression (“CPM”) or cost per action (“CPA”) for on line display and service period for offline display contracts.
The Company enters into advertising contracts with advertisers where the amounts charged per specific action are fixed and determinable, the specific terms of the contracts were agreed on by the Company, the advertisers and channel providers, and collectability is probable. Revenue is recognized on a CPM basis as impressions or clicks are delivered while revenue on a CPA basis is recognized once agreed actions are performed or service period is completed.
The Company considers itself as provider of the services as it has control of the specified services and products at any time before it is transferred to the customers which is evidenced by (1) the Company is primarily responsible to its customers for products and services offered where the products were designed in house and the Company has customer services team to directly service the customers; and (2) having latitude in establish pricing. Therefore, the Company acts as the principal of these arrangements and reports revenue earned and costs incurred related to these transactions on a gross basis.
— Performance-based advertising service
The Company provides central processing algorithm performance-based advertising services for its customers, which enable the customers to get the optimal business opportunities.
F-20
Note 2 — Summary of significant accounting policies (cont.)
The Company’s performance obligation is to help customers to accurately match consumers and traffic users, and thereby increasing the conversion rate of product sale using its proprietary data optimization algorithms. The Company’s revenue is recognized at a point when an end user completes a transaction at a rate specified in contract. Related service fees are generally billed monthly, based on a per transaction basis.
The Company considers itself as provider of the services as it has control of the specified services and products at any time before it is transferred to the customers which is evidenced by (1) it is primarily responsible to its customers for the services offered where the algorithms and data optimization were designed and performed in house and it has customer services team to directly serve the customers; and (2) having latitude in establish pricing. Therefore, VIYI acts as the principal of these arrangements and reports revenue earned and costs incurred related to these transactions on a gross basis.
In addition, through the Company’s data algorithm optimization, it is able to identify certain end user needs and it facilitates certain value-added services to the end users. The Company engages third party services provider to perform the services. The Company concludes that it does not control the services as the third-party service provider is responsible for providing the service and its responsibility is merely to facilitate the provision of these value added service to the end users and charges a fee. As such the Company recorded revenue from the value-added services on a net basis when the services is provided by third party service provider.
(ii) AR Entertainment
The Company’s AR entertainment includes mainly three sub categories: SDK payment channel services, software development and mobile games operations and technology developments.
a. SDK Payment Channel Services
The Company’s SDK payment channel services enable game players/app users to make online payments through Alipay, Unipay or Wechat pay etc. to various online content providers. When game players/app users make payments in the game or app, the SDK payment channel will automatically populate payment services for the users to fulfill payments.
The Company charges a fee for the payment channel services, the pricing of which is based on the predetermined rates specified in the contract. The Company’s performance obligation is to facilitate payment services and recognizes SDK payment channel service revenue at a point in time when a user completes a payment transaction via a payment channel and is entitled to payment. Related fees are generally billed monthly, based on a per transaction basis. The Company assessed that its promise to customer is to facilitate the service of third party instead of providing the payment services itself as the Company does not have control of the services provided as the Company does not service the users directly and does not have the latitude to establish the price, and therefore, revenue from SDK payment service is recorded on a net basis.
b. Mixed Reality (“MR”) software development services
The Company’s MR software development service contracts are primarily on a fixed price basis, which require the Company to perform services for MR application design, content development and integrating based on customers’ specific needs. These services also require significant production and customization. The required customization work period is generally less than one year. The Company currently does not have any modification of contract and the contracts currently do not have any variable consideration.
The software customization, application design, upgrades and integration are considered as one performance obligation. The promises to transfer software, customization and upgrades are not separately identifiable as the customers do not obtain benefits from these services on their own.
F-21
Note 2 — Summary of significant accounting policies (cont.)
The Company’s MR software development service contracts are generally recognized over time during the contract period as the Company has no alternative use of the customized software and application without incurring significant additional costs. Revenue is recognized based on the Company’s measurement of progress towards completion based on input or output methods. Input methods are used only when there is a direct correlation between hours incurred and the end product delivered, and output method is used when the Company could appropriately measure the customization progress towards completion. Assumptions, risks and uncertainties inherent in the estimates used to measure progress could affect the amount of revenues, receivables and deferred revenues at each reporting period. The Company has a long history of developing various MR software resulting in its ability to reasonably estimate the progress toward completion on each fixed price customized contract.
c. Mobile Games Services
The Company generates revenue from jointly operated mobile game publishing services and the licensed-out games. In accordance with ASC 606, Revenue Recognition: Principal Agent Considerations, the Company evaluates agreements with the game developers, distribution channels and payment channels in order to determine whether or not the Company acts as the principal or as an agent in the arrangement with each party respectively. The determination of whether to record the revenues gross or net is based on whether the Company’s promise to its customers is to provide the products or services or to facilitate a sale by a third party. The nature of the promise depends on whether the Company controls the products or services prior to transferring it. Control is evidenced by if the Company is primarily responsible for fulling the provision of services and has discretion in establishing the selling price. When the Company controls the products or services, its promise is to provide and deliver the products and revenue is presented gross. When the Company does not control the products, the promise is to facilitate the sale and revenue is presented net.
— Jointly operated mobile game publishing services
The Company is offering publishing services for mobile games developed by third party game developers. The Company acted as a distribution channel that it will publish the games on their own app or a third party owned app or website, named game portals. Through these game portals, game players can download the mobile games to their mobile devices and purchase coins, the virtual currency, for in game premium features to enhance their game playing experience. The Company contracts with third party payment platforms for collection services offered to game players who have purchased coins. The third-party game developers, third party payment platforms and the co publishers are entitled to profit sharing based on a prescribed percentage of the gross amount charged to the game players. The Company’s obligation in the publishing services is completed at a point in time when the game players made a payment to purchase coins.
With respect to the publishing services arrangements between the Company and the game developer, the Company considered that the Company does not control the services as evidenced by (i) developers are responsible for providing the game product desired by the game players; (ii) the hosting and maintenance of game servers for running the online mobile games is the responsibility of the third party platforms; (iii) the developers or third party platforms have the right to change the pricing of in game virtual items. The Company’s responsibilities are publishing, providing payment solution and market promotion service, and thus the Company views the game developers to be its customers and considers itself as the facilitator of the game developers in the arrangements with game players. Accordingly, the Company records the game publishing service revenue from these games, net of amounts paid to the game developers.
— Licensed out mobile games
The Company also licenses third parties to operate its mobile games developed internally through mobile portal and receives revenue from the third party licensee operators on a monthly basis. The Company’s performance obligation is to provide mobile games to game operators which enable players of the mobile games to make in game purchases and the Company recognized revenue at a point in time when game players completed the purchases. The Company records revenues on a net basis, as the Company does not have the control of the services provided as it does not have the primary responsibility for fulfillment nor does it have the right to change the pricing of the game services.
F-22
Note 2 — Summary of significant accounting policies (cont.)
d. Technology developments
The Company’s technology development contract requires the Company to design applications based on customers’ specific needs. The duration of the design period is short, usually approximately 3 months or less. Revenues are generally recognized at a point in time where the Company has transferred control of the asset upon completion of the design and after the acceptance by its customer with no more future obligation of the design project.
(iii) Semiconductor business
The Company’s semiconductor business includes two sub categories: sale of products and software development.
a. Sale of products
Starting in July 2020, the Company also engage in sales of semiconductor products and other electronic accessories. The Company typically enters into written contracts with its customer where the rights of the parties, including payment terms, are identified and sales prices to the customers are fixed with no separate sales rebate, discount, or other incentive and no right of return exists on sales of inventory. The Company’s performance obligation is to deliver products according to contract specifications. The Company recognizes gross product revenue at a time when the control of products or services are transferred to customers.
To distinguish a promise to provide products from a promise to facilitate the sale from a third party, the Company considers the guidance of control in ASC 606-10-55-37A and the indicators in 606-10-55-39. The Company considers this guidance in conjunction with the terms in the Company’s arrangements with both suppliers and customers.
In general, the Company controls the products as it has the obligation to (i) fulfill the products delivery and (ii) bear any inventory risk as legal owners. In addition, when establishing the selling prices for delivery of the resale products, the Company has control to set its selling price to ensure it would generate profit for the products delivery arrangements. The Company believes that all these factors indicate that the Company is acting as a principal in this transaction. As a result, revenue from the sales of products is presented on a gross basis.
b. Revenue from software development
The Company also designs software for central processing units based on customers’ specific needs. The contract is typically fixed priced and does not provide any post contract customer support or upgrades. The Company’s performance obligation is to design, develop, test and install the related software for customers, all of which are considered one performance obligation as the customers do not obtain benefit for each separate service. The duration of the development period is short, usually less than one year.
The Company’s revenue from software development contracts is generally recognized over time during the development period the Company has no alternative use of the customized software and application without incurring significant additional costs. Revenue is recognized based on the Company’s measurement of progress towards completion based on output methods when the Company could appropriately measure the customization progress towards completion by reaching certain milestones specified in contracts. Assumptions, risks and uncertainties inherent in the estimates used to measure progress could affect the amount of revenues, receivables and deferred revenues at each reporting period.

for cash deposits of each bank is RMB
F-39
Note 16 — Concentration of risk (cont.)
A majority of the Company’s expense transactions are denominated in RMB and a significant portion of the Company and its subsidiaries’ assets and liabilities 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 the Company in China must be processed through the PBOC or other China foreign exchange regulatory bodies which require certain supporting documentation in order to affect the remittance.
To the extent that the Company needs to convert U.S. dollars into RMB for capital expenditures and working capital and other business purposes, appreciation of RMB against U.S. dollar would have an adverse effect on the RMB amount the Company would receive from the conversion. Conversely, if the Company decides to convert RMB into U.S. dollar for the purpose of making payments for dividends, strategic acquisition or investments or other business purposes, appreciation of U.S. dollar against RMB would have a negative effect on the U.S. dollar amount available to the Company.

Restricted assets
The Company’s ability to pay dividends is primarily dependent on the Company receiving distributions of funds from its subsidiary. Relevant PRC statutory laws and regulations permit payments of dividends by WiMi WFOE, Lixin Technology, Shenzhen Weiyixin, Shanghai Weimu, Beijing WiMi and Shenzhen Yitian (collectively “WiMi PRC entities”) only out of its retained earnings, if any, as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. The results of operations reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP differ from those reflected in the statutory financial statements of WiMi PRC entities.
As a result of the foregoing restrictions, WiMi
PRC entities are restricted in their ability to transfer their assets to the Company. Foreign exchange and other regulation in the PRC
may further restrict WiMi PRC entities from transferring funds to the Company in the form of dividends, loans and advances. As of June

Note 19 — Commitments and contingencies
Contingencies
From time to time, the Company is party to certain legal proceedings, as well as certain asserted and un-asserted claims. Amounts accrued, as well as the total amount of reasonably possible losses with respect to such matters, individually and in the aggregate, are not deemed to be material to the consolidated financial statements.
Variable interest entity structure
In the opinion of management, (i) the corporate structure of the Company is in compliance with existing PRC laws and regulations; (ii) the contractual arrangements are valid and binding, and do not result in any violation of PRC laws or regulations currently in effect; and (iii) the business operations of WiMi WFOE and the VIE are in compliance with existing PRC laws and regulations in all material respects.
However, there are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of current and future PRC laws and regulations. Accordingly, the Company cannot be assured that PRC regulatory authorities will not ultimately take a contrary view to the foregoing opinion of its management. If the current corporate structure of the Company or the contractual arrangements is found to be in violation of any existing or future PRC laws and regulations, the Company may be required to restructure its corporate structure and operations in the PRC to comply with changing and new PRC laws and regulations. In the opinion of management, the likelihood of loss in respect of the Company’s current corporate structure or the contractual arrangements is remote based on current facts and circumstances.

Coronavirus (“COVID-19”)
The ongoing outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has spread rapidly to many parts of the world. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 as a pandemic. The pandemic has resulted in quarantines, travel restrictions, and the temporary closure of stores and business facilities in China from February to mid-March in 2020. All of the Company’s business operations and the workforce are concentrated in China, so the Company closed offices and implemented work-from-home policy during that period. Due to the nature of the Company’s business, the impact of the closure on the operational capabilities was not significant. However, the Company’s customers were negatively impacted by the pandemic and reduced their budgets for online advertising and marketing. The resurgence of COVID-19 in late 2021 in Asia has impacted the Company’s operation in China and subsidiaries in Singapore and Hong Kong which caused these subsidiaries to record impairment on intangibles and goodwill as a result of reduced forecast for 2022. Potential impact to the Company’s results of operations for 2022 will also depend on economic impact due to the pandemic and if any future resurgence of the virus, which are beyond the Company’s control. There is no guarantee that the Company’s revenues will grow or remain at a similar level year over year in 2022.

Shuo Shi, the Chief Executive and Operations Officer of the Company, commented, “At present, the Company develops in the two industry areas of semiconductor and holographic AR. In the future, the Company will continue to strive to maintain a relatively stable market share and industry influence in the corresponding market based on our own competitive advantages, further expand the market space, and form new value growth point in the future. The advancement of technology related to holographic AR will take the holographic AR experience, services, products to newer stages of development. The company started to provide performance-based advertising service in 2022, expanding holographic technology into more segmented application fields. The Company expects to continue magnifying the value of this holographic AR technology and expand to more application scenarios.
Impact of COVID-19
The ongoing outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has spread rapidly to many parts of the world. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 as a pandemic. The pandemic has resulted in quarantines, travel restrictions, and the temporary closure of stores and business facilities in China for the first couple of months in 2020. Our business, results of operations, and financial condition were adversely affected during the first half of 2020 because a majority of our business operations and workforce are concentrated in China. Our business and results of operations have resumed to normal levels in the second half of 2020.
Our operations in PRC have not been materially impacted by the pandemic in 2021 and we have not experienced significant collection issues or disruption of operations so far. In the second quarter of 2021, resurgence of COVID variants has affected South-East Asia where some of our vendors of semiconductor business were located. This has impacted our supply of semiconductor products and our revenue on resale of semiconductors.
As a result of the resurgence of COVID-19 variants in first quarter of 2022 in China, WiMi’s office in the PRC was again closed for one week in first quarter of 2022. WiMi resumed normal operation since April 2022. WiMi’s customers have been impacted as a result of business disruption due to closures in various cities, which affected their customers’ advertising spending. As a result, WiMi experienced lower revenue growth on advertising which affected WiMi’s gross margin.
Any potential impact on our results will depend on, to a large extent, future developments and new information that may emerge regarding the duration and resurgence of COVID-19 variants and the actions taken by government authorities to contain COVID-19 or treat its impact, almost all of which are beyond our control.
Recent Development:
Due to the business strategy adjustment, Shenzhen Yitian and its subsidiaries no longer operate the business involving foreign investment restrictions since March 1, 2022, therefore VIYI is able to have direct equity interest in Shenzhen Yitian and its subsidiaries. On April 1, 2022, VIYI terminated the agreements under the VIE structure with Shenzhen Yitian. Shenzhen Yitian’s original shareholders transferred their respective ownership to VIYI WFOE and VIYI WFOE obtained 100% equity control of Shenzhen Yitian and its subsidiaries on April 1, 2022. The reorganization has no effect on the consolidated financial statements as Shenzhen Yitian has been under common control of VIYI Cayman that there is no change of reporting entities.
On July 1, 2022, Viwo Technology Inc. entered into an equity transfer agreement to transfer 99.0% and 1.0% of the issued share capital of Pengcheng Keyi to two unrelated individuals at RMB 1.0 and RMB 0.1, respectively.

| Total/Overall | 516,245,166 | 434,311,150 | 64,712,452 | (15.9 | ) | |||||||||||
Our total revenues decreased by approximately RMB 81.9 million, or 15.9%, from approximately RMB 516.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 to approximately RMB 434.3 million (USD 64.7 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2022, mainly due to an decrease of approximately RMB 117.2 million (USD 17.5 million) in semiconductor business revenue and approximately RMB 5.7 million (USD 0.8 million) in AR entertainment revenue, which net with the increase of approximately RMB 41.0 million (USD 6.1 million) in AR advertising revenue.
Most of our advertising revenues are generated from advertising display services when we completed performance obligation to deliver related advertising services based on the specific terms of the contract, which are commonly based on a specific action, e.g., cost per impression (“CPM”) for online display. Our AR advertising revenue increased by approximately RMB 41.0 million, or 17.4%, from approximately RMB 235.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 to approximately RMB 276.0 million (USD 41.1 million) for six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to the overall increase in average revenue per customer. Average revenue per customer for AR advertising services increased from approximately RMB 0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 to approximately RMB 1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in average revenue was due to increase in performance-based advertising as WiMi started to provide performance-based advertising in 2022 where revenue is generated when traffic users completed a transaction as specified in contracts. Approximately 77.9% of our increase from advertising revenues were from performance-based advertising.
Our AR entertainment revenue decreased by approximately RMB 5.7 million, or 79.7%, from approximately RMB 7.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 to approximately RMB 1.3 million (USD 0.2 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease in AR entertainment revenues was primarily attributable to continued decrease in mobile games services as a result of government oversight on the gaming market.

Semiconductor business revenues include revenues generated from the sales of semiconductor products and related accessories and revenues from software development catering to our customers’ specific demands. Our semiconductor business revenues decreased by approximately RMB 117.2 million, or 42.8% from approximately RMB 274.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 to approximately RMB 156.8 million (USD 23.4 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease was mainly due to decrease in VIYI’s software development revenue where customer development has been delayed in the first quarter due to COVID-19 and deconsolidation of ICinit in December 2022 where the Company plans to focus on its core business.
