All transactions and balances between the Company and its subsidiaries and VIEs have been eliminated upon consolidation. c) Use of estimates The preparation of 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 the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of these consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The Company continually evaluates these estimates and assumptions based on the most recently available information, historical experience and various other assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Since the use of estimates is an integral component of the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from those estimates. d) Foreign currency translation The exchange rates used to translate amounts in RMB into US$ for the purposes of preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements are as follows: September 30, 2023 December 31, 2022 Balance sheet items, except for equity accounts 7.1798 6.9646 Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 2022 Items in the statements of operations and comprehensive loss 7.0148 6.6068 Three Months Ended September 30, 2023 2022 Items in the statements of operations and comprehensive loss 7.1649 6.8287 No e) Current expected credit losses In June 2016, No. 2016 13, 326 January 1, 2023, not January 1, 2023 US$0.19 US$0.04 US$0.15 The allowance for credit losses reflects the Company's current estimate of credit losses expected to be incurred over the life of the related financial assets.
