Contractual Arrangements
Due to legal restrictions on foreign ownership and investment in, among other areas, value-added telecommunications services, which include the operations of internet content providers, the Company operates its internet and other businesses in which foreign investment is restricted or prohibited in the PRC through certain PRC domestic companies. As such, Beijing WiMi is controlled through contractual arrangements in lieu of direct equity ownership by the Company or any of its subsidiaries.
Beijing WiMi contractual arrangements signed on November 6, 2018 and December 18, 2020
The contractual arrangements consist of a series of four agreements, shareholders power of attorney and irrevocable commitment letters, which were initially signed on November 6, 2018. Pursuant to reorganization on December 18, 2020, the previous agreements were terminated and Beijing WiMi and WiMi WFOE entered into identical agreements on December 18, 2020. WiMi WFOE maintained effective control of Beijing WiMi. The significant terms of agreements are as follows:
Exclusive Business Cooperation Agreement
Under the exclusive business cooperation agreement between WiMi WFOE and Beijing WiMi, WiMi WFOE has the exclusive right to provide to Beijing WiMi consulting and services related to, among other things, use of software, operation maintenance, product development, and management and marketing consulting. WiMi WFOE has the exclusive ownership of intellectual property rights created as a result of the performance of this agreement. Beijing WiMi agrees to pay WiMi WFOE service fee at an amount equal to the consolidated net income after offsetting previous year’s loss (if any). This agreement will remain effective until the date when it is terminated by WiMi WFOE.
Exclusive Share Purchase Option Agreement
Pursuant to the exclusive share purchase option agreement, by and among WiMi WFOE, Beijing WiMi and each of the shareholders of Beijing WiMi, each of the shareholders of Beijing WiMi irrevocably granted WiMi WFOE an exclusive call option to purchase, or have its designated person(s) to purchase, at its discretion, all or part of their equity interests in Beijing WiMi, and the purchase price shall be the lowest price permitted by applicable PRC law. Each of the shareholders of Beijing WiMi undertakes that, without the prior written consent of WiMi WFOE or us, they may not increase or decrease the registered capital, amend its articles of association or change registered capital structure. This agreement will remain effective for years and can be renewed at WiMi WFOE’s sole discretion. Any transfer of shares pursuant to this agreement would be subject to PRC regulations and to any changes required thereunder.

Note 2 — Summary of significant accounting policies
Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), regarding financial reporting, and include all normal and recurring adjustments that management of the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of its financial position and operation results. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any other interim period or for the full year of 2023. Accordingly, these unaudited interim condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and note thereto as of and for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022.
Principles of consolidation
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries, which include the wholly-foreign owned enterprise (“WFOE”) and variable interest entity (“VIE”) and VIE’s subsidiaries over which the Company exercises control and, when applicable, entities for which the Company has a controlling financial interest or is the primary beneficiary. All transactions and balances among the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Use of estimates and assumptions
The preparation of unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Company’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the useful lives of property and equipment and intangible assets, impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill, allowance for doubtful accounts, provision for contingent liabilities, revenue recognition, deferred taxes and uncertain tax position, the fair value of contingent consideration related to business acquisitions. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Foreign currency translation and other comprehensive income (loss)
The Company uses Renminbi (“RMB”) as its reporting currency. The functional currency of the Company, its subsidiaries in Seychelles and Singapore is U.S. dollar, and its other subsidiaries which are incorporated in Hong Kong and PRC are Hong Kong Dollar and RMB, respectively, which are their respective local currencies based on the criteria of ASC 830, “Foreign Currency Matters”.
In the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, the financial information of the Company and other entities located outside of the PRC has been translated into RMB. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates on the balance sheet date, equity amounts are translated at historical exchange rates, and revenues, expenses, gains and losses are translated using the average rate for the period.
Translation adjustments included in accumulated
other comprehensive loss amounted to RMB

Short-term investments
Short-term
investments are investments in wealth management product with underlying in cash, bonds and equity funds. The investments can be redeemed
any time and the investment was recorded at fair value. The gain (loss) from sale of any investments and fair value change are recognized
in the statements of income and comprehensive income. The Company purchased approximately RMB
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents primarily consist of bank deposits with original maturities of three months or less, which are unrestricted as to withdrawal and use. Cash and cash equivalents also consist of funds earned from the Company’s operating revenues which were held at third party platform fund accounts which are unrestricted as to immediate use or withdraw. The Company maintains most of its bank accounts in the PRC, HK, Singapore and US.
Accounts receivable, net
Accounts receivable include trade accounts due from customers. Accounts are considered overdue after 90 days. Management reviews its receivables on a regular basis to determine if the bad debt allowance is adequate, and provides allowance when necessary. The allowance is based on management’s best estimates of specific losses on individual customer exposures, as well as the historical trends of collections. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the likelihood of collection is not probable.
Inventories
Inventories are comprised of finished goods and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the weighted average method. Management reviews inventories for obsolescence and cost in excess of net realizable value periodically when appropriate and records a reserve against the inventory when the carrying value exceeds net realizable value.
Prepaid services fees
Prepaid services fees are mainly payments made to vendors or services providers for future services. These amounts are refundable and bear no interest. Prepaid services fees also include money deposited with certain channel providers to ensure the contents of the advertisement do not violate the terms of the channel providers. The deposits usually have one year term and are refundable upon contract termination. Management reviews its prepaid services fees on a regular basis to determine if the allowance is adequate, and adjusts the allowance when necessary.
Other receivables and prepaid expenses
Other receivables that are short term in nature include employee advances to pay certain of the Company’s expenses in the normal course of business and certain short-term deposits. Prepaid expenses included utilities or system services and prepaid VAT. An allowance for doubtful accounts may be established and recorded based on management’s assessment of the likelihood of collection. Management reviews these items on a regular basis to determine if the allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate, and adjusts the allowance when necessary. Delinquent account balances are written-off against the allowance for doubtful accounts after management has determined that the likelihood of collection is not probable.
Property and equipment, net
Property and equipment are stated at cost less
accumulated depreciation and impairment if applicable. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of the assets with
| Useful Life | ||
| Office equipment | ||
| Office furniture and fixtures | ||
| Vehicles | ||
| Building | ||
| Leasehold improvements | lesser of lease term or expected useful life |
The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to earnings as incurred, while additions, renewals and betterments, which are expected to extend the useful life of assets, are capitalized. The Company also re-evaluates the periods of depreciation to determine whether subsequent events and circumstances warrant revised estimates of useful lives.
F-16
Note 2 — Summary of significant accounting policies (cont.)
Cost method investments
The Company accounts for investments with less
than
Cost method investments are evaluated for impairment when facts or circumstances indicate that the fair value of the long-term investments is less than its carrying value. An impairment is recognized when a decline in fair value is determined to be other-than-temporary. The Company reviews several factors to determine whether a loss is other-than-temporary. These factors include, but are not limited to, the: (i) nature of the investment; (ii) cause and duration of the impairment; (iii) extent to which fair value is less than cost; (iv) financial condition and near term prospects of the investments; and (v) ability to hold the security for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.
Prepayments
Prepayments are payments made to housing developers
for commercial and residential properties down payments. These amounts are refundable and bear an interest ranging from
Intangible assets, net
The Company’s intangible assets with definite useful lives primarily consist of copyrights, software, customer relationship, non-compete agreements, technology know-hows. Identifiable intangible assets resulting from the acquisitions of subsidiaries accounted for using the purchase method of accounting are estimated by management based on the fair value of assets received. The Company amortizes its intangible assets with definite useful lives over their estimated useful lives and reviews these assets for impairment. The Company typically amortizes its intangible assets with definite useful lives on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the contractual terms or the estimated useful lives of to years.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration paid of an acquisition over the fair value of the net identifiable assets of the acquired subsidiaries at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is not amortized and is tested for impairment at least annually, more often when circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred. Goodwill is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. If impairment exists, goodwill is immediately written off to its fair value and the loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed.
The Company reviews the carrying value of intangible assets not subject to amortization, including goodwill, to determine whether impairment may exist annually or more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that an impairment has occurred. The Company has the option to assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform further impairment testing in accordance with ASC 350-20, as amended by ASU 2017-04. If the Company believes, as a result of the qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then the impairment test described below is required. The Company compares the fair values of each reporting unit to its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of each reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill is not considered to be impaired. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, impairment is recognized for the difference, limited to the amount of goodwill recognized for the reporting unit. Estimating fair value is performed by utilizing various valuation techniques, with the primary technique being a discounted cash flow.
Deconsolidation
Upon the loss of control, the Company derecognizes the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, any non-controlling interests and the other components of equity related to the subsidiary. Any surplus or deficit arising on the loss of control is recognized in profit or loss. If the Company retains any interest in the previous subsidiary, then such interest is measured at fair value at the date that control is lost. Subsequently it is accounted for as an equity-accounted investee or as cost method investment depending on the level of influence retained.
Impairment for long-lived assets
Long-lived assets, including property and equipment and intangible assets with finite lives are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances (such as a significant adverse change to market conditions that will impact the future use of the assets) indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company assesses the recoverability of the assets based on the undiscounted future cash flows the assets are expected to generate and recognize an impairment loss when estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset plus net proceeds expected from disposition of the asset, if any, are less than the carrying value of the asset. If an impairment is identified, the Company would reduce the carrying amount of the asset to its estimated fair value based on a discounted cash flows approach or, when available and appropriate, to comparable market values.

Note 2 — Summary of significant accounting policies (cont.)
Business combination
The purchase price of an acquired company is allocated between tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed from the acquired business based on their estimated fair values, with the residual of the purchase price recorded as goodwill. Transaction costs associated with business combinations are expensed as incurred, and are included in general and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The results of operations of the acquired business are included in the Company’s operating results from the date of acquisition.
Fair value measurement
The accounting standard regarding fair value of financial instruments and related fair value measurements defines financial instruments and requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company.
The accounting standards define fair value, establish a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhance disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels are defined as follow:
| ● | Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. |
| ● | Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments. |
| ● | Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value. |
Revenue recognition
The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC Topic 606). 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-18
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-19
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-20
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.
F-21
Note 2 — Summary of significant accounting policies (cont.)
Contract balances:
The Company records receivable related to revenue when it has an unconditional right to invoice and receive payment.
Payments received from customers before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition met are recorded as deferred revenue.
Contract costs:
Contract costs represent costs incurred in advance of revenue recognition arising from direct costs in respect of the revenue contracts according to the customer’s requirements prior to the delivery of services, and such deferred costs will be recognized upon the recognition of the related revenue. Estimated contract costs are based on the budgeted service hours, which are updated based on the progress toward completion on a monthly basis. Pursuant to the contract terms, the Company has enforceable right on payments for the work performed. Provisions for estimated losses, if any, on uncompleted contracts are recorded in the period in which such losses become probable based on the current contract estimates.

Cost of revenues
For AR advertising services, the cost of revenue comprised of costs paid to channel distributors based on the sales agreements.
F-22
Note 2 — Summary of significant accounting policies (cont.)
For AR entertainment segment, the cost of revenue consists of the shared costs with content providers based on the profit sharing arrangements, third party consulting services expenses and compensation expenses for the Company’s professionals.
For semiconductor business segment, the cost of revenue consists primarily of the costs of products sold and third party software development costs.
Value added taxes (“VAT”) and goods and services taxes (“GST”)
Revenue represents the invoiced value of service, net of VAT or GST. The
VAT and GST are based on gross sales price. VAT rate is
Income taxes
The Company accounts for current income taxes in accordance with the laws of the relevant tax authorities. The charge for taxation is based on the results for the fiscal year as adjusted for items, which are non-assessable or disallowed. It is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
Deferred taxes is accounted for using the asset and liability method in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax basis used in the computation of assessable tax profit. In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Deferred tax is calculated using tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the income statement, except when it is related to items credited or charged directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws of the relevant taxing authorities.
An uncertain tax position is recognized as a benefit
only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination
being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than
Leases
The Company adopted FASB ASU 2016-02, “Leases”
(Topic 842) for the year ended December 31, 2020, and elected the practical expedients that does not require us to reassess:
(1) whether any expired or existing contracts are, or contain, leases, (2) lease classification for any expired or existing
leases and (3) initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases. For lease terms of twelve months or fewer, a lessee
is permitted to make an accounting policy election not to recognize lease assets and liabilities. The Company also adopted the practical
expedient that allows lessees to treat the lease and non-lease components of a lease as a single lease component. Upon adoption,
the Company recognized approximately RMB
Operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the adoption date or the commencement date, whichever is earlier, based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Since the implicit rate for the Company’s leases is not readily determinable, the Company use its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow, on a collateralized basis, an amount equal to the lease payments, in a similar economic environment and over a similar term.
F-23
Note 2 — Summary of significant accounting policies (cont.)
Lease terms used to calculate the present value of lease payments generally do not include any options to extend, renew, or terminate the lease, as the Company does not have reasonable certainty at lease inception that these options will be exercised. The Company generally considers the economic life of its operating lease ROU assets to be comparable to the useful life of similar owned assets. The Company has elected the short-term lease exception, therefore operating lease ROU assets and liabilities do not include leases with a lease term of twelve months or less. Its leases generally do not provide a residual guarantee. The operating lease ROU asset also excludes lease incentives. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Company reviews the impairment of its ROU assets consistent with the approach applied for its other long-lived assets. The Company reviews the recoverability of its long-lived assets when events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. The assessment of possible impairment is based on its ability to recover the carrying value of the asset from the expected undiscounted future pre-tax cash flows of the related operations. The Company has elected to include the carrying amount of operating lease liabilities in any tested asset group and include the associated operating lease payments in the undiscounted future pre-tax cash flows.
Stock-based compensation
The Company records stock-based compensation expense for employees and non-employees at fair value on the grant date. Share-based compensation is recognized net of forfeitures, as amortized expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is the vesting period.
The Company accounts for share-based compensation expenses using an estimated forfeiture rate at the time of grant and revising, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from initial estimates. Share-based compensation expenses are recorded net of estimated forfeitures such that expenses are recorded only for those share-based awards that are expected to vest.
Employee benefit
The full-time employees of the Company are entitled to staff welfare benefits including medical care, housing fund, pension benefits, unemployment insurance and other welfare, which are government mandated defined contribution plans. The Company is required to accrue for these benefits based on certain percentages of the employees’ respective salaries, subject to certain ceilings, in accordance with the relevant PRC regulations, and make cash contributions to the state-sponsored plans out of the amounts accrued.
Noncontrolling interests
Noncontrolling interests consists of an aggregate
of
Noncontrolling interests subscriptions receivable
amounted to RMB
Excess of contribution received from noncontrolling shareholders over carrying value of the entity is recorded in additional paid in capital. The noncontrolling interests are presented in the consolidated balance sheets, separately from equity attributable to the shareholders of the Company. Noncontrolling interests in the results of the Company are presented on the face of the consolidated statement of operations as an allocation of the total income or loss for the year between non-controlling interest holders and the shareholders of the Company.

Note 2 — Summary of significant accounting policies (cont.)
Earnings/(loss) per share
The Company computes earnings/loss per share (“EPS”)
in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share”. ASC 260 requires companies to present basic and diluted EPS. Basic
EPS is measured as net income/loss divided by the weighted average ordinary share outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS presents the
dilutive effect on a per share basis of the potential ordinary shares (e.g., convertible securities, options and warrants) as if
they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later. Potential ordinary shares that have an
anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of
diluted EPS. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, there were
Statutory reserves
Pursuant to the laws applicable
to the PRC, PRC entities must make appropriations from after-tax profit to the non-distributable “statutory surplus reserve
fund”.
Segment reporting
ASC 280, “Segment Reporting”, establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments on a basis consistent with the Company’s internal organizational structure as well as information about geographical areas, business segments and major customers in financial statements for detailing the Company’s business segments.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, which is an update to ASU Update No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which introduced the expected credit losses methodology for the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost basis, replacing the previous incurred loss methodology. The amendments in Update 2016-13 added Topic 326, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses, and made several consequential amendments to the Codification. Update 2016-13 also modified the accounting for available-for-sale debt securities, which must be individually assessed for credit losses when fair value is less than the amortized cost basis, in accordance with Subtopic 326-30, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses — Available-for-Sale Debt Securities. The amendments in this Update address those stakeholders’ concerns by providing an option to irrevocably elect the fair value option for certain financial assets previously measured at amortized cost basis. For those entities, the targeted transition relief will increase comparability of financial statement information by providing an option to align measurement methodologies for similar financial assets. Furthermore, the targeted transition relief also may reduce the costs for some entities to comply with the amendments in Update 2016-13 while still providing financial statement users with decision-useful information. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10, which to update the effective date of ASU No. 2016-02 for private companies, not-for-profit organizations and certain smaller reporting companies applying for credit losses, leases, and hedging standard. The new effective date for these preparers is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2023 and the adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, “Business Combinations”. The amendments in this Update address how to determine whether a contract liability is recognized by the acquirer in a business combination and resolve the inconsistency of measuring revenue contracts with customers acquired in a business combination by providing specific guidance on how to recognize and measure acquired contract assets and contract liabilities from revenue contracts in a business combination. The amendments in this Update apply to all entities that enter into a business combination within the scope of Subtopic 805-10, Business Combination-Overalls. For public business entities, ASU 2021-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted. The amendments in this Update should be applied prospectively to business combinations occurring on or after the effective date of the amendments. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2023 and the adoption did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Except as mentioned above, the Company does not believe other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, statements of income and comprehensive income and statements of cash flows.
Note 3 — Variable interest entity (“VIE”)
WiMi WFOE entered into contractual arrangements with Beijing WiMi on November 6, 2018. The agreements were terminated on December 18, 2020, and WiMi WFOE entered into another contractual arrangements with Beijing WiMi on the same day, under which WiMi WFOE maintains effective control of Beijing WiMi. The significant terms of these contractual arrangements are summarized in “Note 1 Nature of business and organization” above. As a result, the Company classifies Beijing WiMi as VIE which should be consolidated based on the structure as described in Note 1.
F-25
Note 3 — Variable interest entity (“VIE”) (cont.)
A VIE is an entity that has either a total equity investment that is insufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, or whose equity investors lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest, such as through voting rights, right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity or obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity. The variable interest holder, if any, that has a controlling financial interest in a VIE is deemed to be the primary beneficiary and must consolidate the VIE.
i) Beijing WiMi
WiMi WFOE is deemed to have a controlling financial interest and be the primary beneficiary of Beijing WiMi because it has both of the following characteristics:
(1) The power to direct activities at Beijing WiMi that most significantly impact such entity’s economic performance, and
(2) The right to receive benefits from Beijing WiMi that could potentially be significant to such entity.
Pursuant to the contractual arrangements, Beijing WiMi pays service fees equal to all of its net income to WiMi WFOE. The contractual arrangements are designed so that Beijing WiMi operate for the benefit of WiMi WFOE and ultimately, the Company.
Accordingly, the accounts of Beijing WiMi are consolidated in the accompanying financial statements. In addition, its financial positions and results of operations are included in the Company’s financial statements. Under the VIE Arrangements, the Company has the power to direct activities of Beijing WiMi and can have assets transferred out of Beijing WiMi. Therefore, the Company considers that there is no asset in Beijing WiMi that can be used only to settle obligations of Beijing WiMi, except for registered capital and PRC statutory reserves, if any. As Beijing WiMi is incorporated as limited liability company under the Company Law of the PRC, creditors of the Beijing WiMi do not have recourse to the general credit of the Company for any of the liabilities of Beijing WiMi.

The Company evaluated the recoverable amounts of deferred tax assets, and provided a valuation allowance to the extent that future taxable profits will be available against which the net operating loss and temporary difference can be utilized. The Company considers both positive and negative factors when assessing the future realization of the deferred tax assets and applied weight to the relative impact of the evidences to the extent it could be objectively verified.
The Company’s cumulative net operating loss
(“NOL”) of approximately RMB
The Company recognized deferred tax liabilities related to the excess of the intangible assets reporting basis over its income tax basis as a result of fair value adjustment from acquisitions in 2015.

Note 15 — Concentration of risk
Credit risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject
the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and short term investments. In China, the insurance
coverage for cash deposits of each bank is RMB
F-35
Note 15 — 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
30, 2023, amounts restricted are the paid-in-capital and statutory reserve of WiMi PRC entities, which amounted to RMB

Note 18 — 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.

Our total revenues decreased by approximately RMB 169.5 million, or 39.0%, from approximately RMB 434.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to approximately RMB 264.8 million (USD 38.2million) for the six months ended June 30, 2023, mainly due to a decrease of approximately RMB 146.9 million (USD 20.9 million) in semiconductor business revenue and approximately RMB 21.3 million (USD 3.1 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 decreased by approximately RMB 21.3 million, or 7.7%, from approximately RMB 276.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to approximately RMB 254.8 million (USD 36.8 million) for six months ended June 30, 2023.
Our subsidiary, Shenzhen Yitian, did not engage in operational activities in 2023; hence, no AR entertainment revenue was recorded for the current fiscal year.
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 146.9 million, or 93.7% from approximately RMB 156.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to approximately RMB 9.9 million (USD 1.4 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decline is due to the divestiture of Fe-da Electronics and its subsidiaries in the current fiscal year, as we have decided to concentrate on our core business.
