First Six Months 2023 Financial Results
Interest Income on Loans
Interest income on loans primarily consists of the accrued interest of Stage 3 credit-impaired loans. Accrued interest is the present value of the estimated future cash flows of credit-impaired loans expected to be recovered, discounted at the loan's original effective interest rate. Interest income on loans for the first six months of 2023 decreased by 10.9% to RMB51.5 million (US$7.4 million) from RMB57.8 million in the same period of the prior year. The decrease was primarily attributable to the revaluation of the present value of interest receivable and estimated recovery date.
Interest Expense
Interest expenses on loans increased to RMB10.4 million (US$1.5 million) for the first six months of 2023 from RMB10.0 million in the same period of the prior year. The increase was mainly due to the company accrued RMB0.4 million (US$0.1 million) for relevant listing service fee in the current reporting period.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income for the first six months of 2023 was RMB40.9 million (US$5.9 million), representing a 14.3% decrease from RMB47.7 million in the same period of the prior year.
Credit Impairment Losses
The Company maintains the allowance for loan losses, as presented in the financial statements, at a level it considers to be reasonable by management to absorb probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of each balance sheet date. The management evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses on a regular basis or more often as necessary. The allowance is based on the past loan loss history, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral, composition of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions and other relevant factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates that may be susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

The Company provided the credit impairment losses amounting to RMB6.3 million (US$0.9 million) for the first six months of 2023. The increase was primarily attributable to the revaluation of the present value of interest receivable and estimated recovery date during the first six months of 2023. Although the economic and business environment for SMEs remained challenging and some of the Company's loan customers were experiencing financial difficulty, the Company believed that the recoverability of loan was much more optimistic due to the ending of government controls procedures of the epidemic. The Company assessed credit loss allowance on these credit-impaired loans based on an assessment of the recoverable cash flows under a range of scenarios, including the realization of any collateral held where appropriate. The loss provisions held represent the difference between the present value of the cash flows expected to be recovered, discounted at the instrument's original effective interest rate, and the gross carrying value of the instrument prior to any credit impairment.
Operation Expenses
Operating expenses consisted solely of general and administrative expenses, which increased from RMB3.9 million for the first six months of 2022 to RMB4.2 million (US$0.6 million) for the first six months of 2023. The increase was primarily attributable to accrual more expenses for services rendered by auditor and counsel in the current reporting period.
Net Profit and Earnings per ADS
As a result of the foregoing, net profit was RMB30.5 million (US$4.4 million) for the first six months of 2023, as compared to RMB60.2 million (US$9.3 million) in the same period of the prior year.
Earnings per ADS for the first six months of 2023 was US$0.34, compared to US$0.99 in the same period of the prior year.
Statements of Financial Position
As of June 30, 2023, the Company had cash and restricted cash of RMB289,000 (US$40,000) compared to RMB295,000 as of December 31, 2022. Most cash deposits with the bank are frozen by court orders as the Company is involved in multiple legal proceedings, administrative proceedings, claims and other litigation as a result of overdue payments to service providers and loans payable to the lenders. The Company has actively worked with Wuchang District Court to broker a series of settlement solution for its obligations with a hope of reaching a deal.
Loans receivable, net of credit impairment losses of RMB646.6 million (US$89.2 million), was RMB601.3 million (US$82.9 million) as of June 30, 2023, representing an increase of 8.1% from RMB556.1 million as of December 31, 2022, primarily due to increase of interest accrued. Accrued interest is the present value of the estimated future cash flows of credit-impaired loans expected to be recovered, discounted at the loan's original effective interest rate.
As of December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2023, loans payable to third parties, related parties and shareholders, amounting to RMB161.4 million (US$22.3 million) are all overdue. Although certain loans payable were negotiated with new schedules of repayments, the Company is unable to fulfil those obligations due to liquidity issues.
Statements ofCash Flows
Net cash used by operating activities for the first six months of 2023 was RMB164,000 compared to RMB29,000 net cash used by operating activities in the same period of the prior year and the Company has very limited liquidity available to fulfil its obligations for the first six months of 2022.
