The service fees charged to Beijing Jingtian/ ChinaCache Shouming /ShenRong BJ is based on 100% of their net income respectively. All the Exclusive business cooperation agreements were valid for ten years, and ChinaCache Beijing/Xin Run/RuiShen BJ can at its sole discretion renew at a term of its choice through written confirmation.

The exclusive business cooperation agreement, exclusive technical support and service agreement, exclusive technical consultation and training agreement, and equipment leasing agreement are collectively referred to as “Service Agreements”. 1. ORGANIZATION (CONTINUED) Loan agreements The Company provided a loan facility of RMB10,000,000 to the Nominal Shareholders of Beijing Blue IT for the purpose of providing capital to Beijing Blue IT to develop its business. In addition, the Company also agreed to provide unlimited financial support to Beijing Blue IT for its operations and agree to forego the right to seek repayment in the event Beijing Blue IT is unable to repay such funding. The loan agreement between the Company and the Nominal Shareholders of Beijing Blue IT was valid for ten years and expired on September 23, 2015. Such agreement was renewed for an additional ten years to September 23, 2025. Such agreement can be extended for another ten years upon mutual written consent of the Company and the Nominal Shareholders of Beijing Blue IT. On January 20, 2016, the Nominal Shareholders of Beijing Blue IT entered into another loan agreement with the Company. Pursuant to this agreement, the Company provided an interest-free loan facility of RMB10,000,000 to the Nominal Shareholders of Beijing Blue IT for the purpose of subscribing for the capital increase of Beijing Blue IT. The term of the loan agreement is ten years and expires on January 20, 2026. The term of the loan agreement may be extended upon mutual written consent of the parties. On December 19, 2016, the Nominal Shareholders of Beijing Blue IT entered into another loan agreement with the Company. Pursuant to this agreement, the Company provided an interest-free loan facility of RMB20,000,000 to the Nominal Shareholders of Beijing Blue IT for the purpose of purchasing the increased capital of Beijing Blue IT. The term of the loan agreement is ten years and expires on December 19, 2026. The term of the loan agreement may be extended upon mutual written consent of the parties. ChinaCache Beijing also provided a loan of RMB8,500,000 to the Nominal Shareholders of Beijing Jingtian for their investment in the registered share capital. In addition, the Company, through ChinaCache Beijing, agreed to provide unlimited financial support to Beijing Jingtian for their operations and agree to forego the right to seek repayment in the event this VIE are unable to repay such funding. The loan agreement between ChinaCache Beijing and the Nominal Shareholders of Beijing Jingtian is valid for ten years and expires on December 3, 2022. Such agreement can be extended upon mutual written consent of ChinaCache Beijing and the Nominal Shareholders of Beijing Jingtian. Xin Run also provided a loan of RMB10,000,000 to the Nominal Shareholders of ChinaCache Shouming for their investment in the registered share capital. In addition, the Company, through Xin Run, agreed to provide unlimited financial support to ChinaCache Shouming for their operations and agree to forego the right to seek repayment in the event this VIE are unable to repay such funding. The loan agreement between Xin Run and the Nominal Shareholders of ChinaCache Shouming is valid for ten years and will expire on August 20, 2028. Such agreement can be extended upon mutual written consent of Xin Run and the Nominal Shareholders of ChinaCache Shouming. RuiShen BJ also provided a loan of RMB10,000,000 to the Nominal Shareholders of ShenRong BJ for their investment in the registered share capital. In addition, the Company, through RuiShen BJ, agreed to provide unlimited financial support to ShenRong BJ for their operations and agree to forego the right to seek repayment in the event this VIE are unable to repay such funding. The loan agreement between RuiShen BJ and the Nominal Shareholders of ShenRong BJ is valid for thirty years Power of attorney agreements The Nominal Shareholders entered into the power of attorney agreement whereby they granted an irrevocable proxy of the voting rights underlying their respective equity interests in the VIEs to ChinaCache Beijing/Xin Run/ RuiShen BJ, which includes, but are not limited to, all the shareholders’ rights and voting rights empowered to the Nominal Shareholders by the company law and the Company’s Article of Association. This agreement remains continuously valid, as long as the Nominal Shareholders continue to be the shareholders of the VIEs. 1. ORGANIZATION (CONTINUED) Power of attorney agreements (continued) Subsequently, ChinaCache Beijing/Xin Run/RuiShen BJ assigned the power of attorney agreement to ChinaCache Beijing/Xin Run/RuiShen BJ’s shareholders or a party designated by ChinaCache Beijing, Xin Run and RuiShen BJ’s shareholders, to whom it granted an irrevocable proxy of the voting rights underlying their respective equity interests in the VIEs, which includes, but are not limited to, all the shareholders’ rights and voting rights empowered to the Nominal Shareholders by the company law and the Company’s Article of Association. Share pledge agreements Pursuant to the share pledge agreement between ChinaCache Beijing/Xin Run/RuiShen BJ, and the Nominal Shareholders of VIEs, the Nominal Shareholders have pledged all their equity interests in the VIEs to guarantee the performance of the VIEs’ obligations under the Service Agreements. If the VIEs breach their respective contractual obligations under the business cooperation agreements, ChinaCache Beijing Xin Run/RuiShen BJ, as pledgee, will be entitled to certain rights, including the right to sell the pledged equity interests. The Nominal Shareholders of VIEs agreed not to transfer, sell, pledge, dispose of or otherwise create any new encumbrance on their equity interests in the VIEs without the prior written consent of ChinaCache Beijing/Xin Run/RuiShen BJ. This agreement is continuously valid until all payments due under the above VIE agreements have been fulfilled by the VIEs. Despite the lack of technical majority ownership, there exists a parent-subsidiary relationship between the Company and the VIEs through the irrevocable power of attorney agreements, whereby the Nominal Shareholders effectively assigned all of their voting rights underlying their equity interest in the VIEs to the Company. In addition, the Company, either directly or through ChinaCache Beijing/Xin Run/RuiShen BJ, obtained effective control over the VIEs through the ability to exercise all the rights of the VIEs’ shareholders pursuant to the share pledge agreements and the exclusive option agreements. The Company demonstrates its ability and intention to continue to exercise the ability to absorb substantially all of the expected losses directly through the loan agreements. In addition, the Company also demonstrates its ability to receive substantially all of the economic benefits of the VIEs through ChinaCache Beijing/Xin Run/RuiShen BJ using the Service Agreements. Thus, the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIEs and consolidates the VIEs under by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 810-10 (“ASC 810-10”) “Consolidation: Overall”. Legal compliance Assessing the legal validity and compliance of these above noted arrangements are a precursor to the Company’s ability to consolidate the results of operations and financial condition of its VIEs. In the opinion of the Company’s management and PRC counsel, (i) the ownership structure of the VIEs are in compliance with existing PRC laws and regulations; (ii) each of the currently effective documents under the contractual arrangements among the Company, the Group's PRC subsidiary, PRC consolidated variable interest entities and their shareholders governed by PRC law are valid, binding and enforceable, and will not result in any violation of PRC laws or regulations currently in effect; and (iii) the Company’s business operations are in compliance with existing PRC laws and regulations in all material respects. 1. ORGANIZATION (CONTINUED) Legal compliance (continued) However, there is significant consolidation judgment due to the existence of 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 its opinion. If the current ownership structure of the Company and its contractual arrangements with its VIEs is found to be in violation of any existing or future PRC laws and regulations, the Company may be required to restructure its ownership structure and operations in the PRC. To the extent that changes to and new PRC laws and regulations prohibit the Company’s VIE arrangements from also complying with the principles of consolidation, then the Company would no longer be able to consolidate and therefore would have to deconsolidate the financial position and results of operations of its VIEs. In the opinion of management, the likelihood of loss and deconsolidation in respect of the Company’s current ownership structure or the contractual arrangements with its VIEs is remote based on current facts and circumstances. There was no pledge or collateralization of the VIEs’ assets. Creditors of the VIEs have no recourse to the general credit of the Company, who is the primary beneficiary of the VIEs, and such amounts have been parenthetically presented on the face of the consolidated balance sheets. The Consolidated VIEs operate the data centers and own facilities including data center buildings, leasehold improvements, fiber optic cables, computers and network equipment, which are recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. They also hold certain value-added technology licenses, registered copyrights, trademarks and registered domain names, including the official website, which are also considered as revenue-producing assets. However, none of such assets were recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as such assets were all acquired or internally developed with insignificant cost and expensed as incurred. In addition, the Company also hires data center operation and marketing workforce for its daily operations and such costs are expensed when incurred. The Company has not provided any financial or other support that it was not previously contractually required to provide to the VIEs during the periods presented. Unrecognized revenue-producing assets held by the VIEs mainly include licenses, such as the Internet Content Provision License, the Value-Added Telecommunication Services Operating License, the Online Culture Operating Permit, and trademarks, patents, copy rights and the domain names. However, none of such assets was recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as such assets were all acquired or internally developed with insignificant cost and expensed as incurred. Recognized revenue-producing assets held by the VIEs include core technology, trademarks and domain names. Unrecognized revenue-producing assets, including customer lists for provision of content and application delivery total solutions, as well as trademarks, are held by ChinaCache Beijing / Xin Run and/or RuiShen BJ. 1.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | |
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (a) Basis of presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). (b) Going concern The Group experienced net loss of approximately RMB52,705,000,RMB73,123,000 and RMB14,261,000 for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021, respectively. As of December 31, 2021, the Group had net current liabilities of approximately RMB1,530,313,000 (US$240,139,000), excluding net asset held for sale. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (b) Going concern (continued) When preparing the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2021 and for the year then ended, the Group ’s management concluded that a going concern basis of preparation was appropriate after analyzing the cash flow forecast for the next twelve months. In preparing the cash flow analysis, management took into account of a) estimated consideration of RMB1,528,000,000 (US$239,776,000) from planned disposal of the cloud infrastructure buildings and assets held for sale, and b) locating more domestic CDN customers from 2022 to compensate the estimated revenue decrease from US, and controlling its operating costs and negotiating with vendors for more favorable payment terms. If the Group fails to achieve these goals, the Group may need additional financing to execute its business plan. If additional financing is required, the Group cannot predict whether this additional financing will be in the form of equity, debt, or another form, and the Group may not be able to obtain the necessary additional capital on a timely basis, on acceptable terms, or at all. In the event that financing sources are not available, or that the Group is unsuccessful in increasing its gross profit margin and reducing operating losses, the Group may be unable to implement its current plans for expansion, repay debt obligations or respond to competitive pressures, any of which would have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. Management prepared the consolidated financial statements assuming the Group will continue as a going concern. However, there is no assurance that the measures above can be achieved as planned. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. If the Group is unable to continue as a going concern, it may have to liquidate its assets and may receive less than the value at which those assets are carried on the financial statements. (c) Principles of consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, its subsidiaries and the VIEs for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All inter-company transactions and balances between the Company, its subsidiaries and the VIEs are eliminated upon consolidation. Results of acquired subsidiaries or VIEs are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Company. (d) Use of estimates The preparation of the 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 at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Areas where management uses subjective judgment include, but are not limited to, estimating the useful lives of long-lived assets and intangible assets, renewal period of lease terms and incremental borrowing rate of right-of-use assets and related lease obligations, impairment of long-term investments, long-lived assets and intangible assets, allowance for doubtful accounts, accounting for deferred income taxes, and accounting for share-based compensation arrangements. The valuation of and accounting for the Group’s financial instruments also require significant estimates and judgments provided by management. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and as such, differences may be material to the consolidated financial statements. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (e) Foreign currency The functional currency of the Company and each of its subsidiaries and VIEs is the Renminbi (“RMB”), except for ChinaCache US, ChinaCache HK, ShenRong HK, and ChinaCache UK, which are the United States dollar (“US$”), Hong Kong dollar (“HK$”), and Great Britain Pound (“GBP”) respectively, as determined based on the criteria of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 830 (“ASC 830”) “ Foreign Currency Matters (f) Convenience translation Amounts in US$ are presented for the convenience of the reader and are translated at the noon buying rate of US$1.00 to RMB6.3757 on December 31, 2021 in the City of New York for cable transfers of RMB as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into US$ at such rate. (g) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and demand deposits placed with banks or other financial institutions which are unrestricted as to withdrawal and use and have original maturities less than three months. For the purpose of the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents also consist of cash and cash equivalents included in assets held for sale. (h) Restricted Cash As of December 31, 2020 and 2021, all the restricted cash relates to cash frozen by courts order during the ongoing legal proceedings. (i) Accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts Accounts receivable are carried at net realizable value. An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded in the period when loss is probable based on an assessment of specific evidence indicating troubled collection, historical experience, accounts aging and other factors. An accounts receivable is written off after all collection effort has ceased. (j) Property and equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows: Optical Fibers 20 years Computer equipment 3-15 years Furniture, fixtures and office equipment 5 years Motor vehicles 10 years Leasehold improvements Over the shorter of lease term or the estimated useful lives of the assets Building 20-40 years 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (j) Property and equipment (continued) Repair and maintenance costs are charged to expense when incurred, whereas the cost of betterments that extend the useful life of property and equipment are capitalized as additions to the related assets. Retirement, sale and disposals of assets are recorded by removing the cost and related accumulated depreciation with any resulting gain or loss reflected in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. Property and equipment that are purchased or constructed which require a period of time before the assets are ready for their intended use are accounted for as construction-in-progress. Construction-in-progress is recorded at acquisition cost, including installation costs. Construction-in-progress is transferred to specific property and equipment accounts and commences depreciation when these assets are ready for their intended use. The amounts of interest that would be capitalized were immaterial during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021. (k) Land use right The land use right represents the amounts paid and relevant costs incurred for the right to use land in the PRC and are recorded at purchase cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is provided on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective land use right agreement. (l) Intangible assets Intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and any impairment. Intangible assets with a finite useful life are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated economic life of the intangible assets as follows: Purchased software 5 years 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (m) Long-lived assets (disposal groups) to be disposed of by sale The Group classifies long-lived assets and disposal groups as held for sale if their carrying amounts will be recovered principally through disposal by sale rather than through continuing use. Such long-lived assets and disposal groups are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Costs to sell are the incremental costs directly attributable to the sale, excluding the finance costs and income tax expense. The criteria for held for sale classification is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable and the asset or disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition. Actions required to complete the sale should indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the sale will be made or that the decision to sell will be withdrawn. Property and equipment, land use right and intangible assets are not depreciated or amortized once classified as held for sale. Assets and liabilities classified as held for sale are presented separately as current items in the consolidated balance sheets. If circumstances arise that previously were considered unlikely and, as a result, an entity decides not to sell a long-lived asset or disposal group previously classified as held for sale, the asset or disposal group would be reclassified as held and used. The Group measures long-lived assets that are reclassified on an individually basis at the lower of the following: a. Its carrying amount before the asset or disposal group was classified as held for sale, adjusted for any depreciation or amortization expense that would have been recognized had the asset or disposal group been continuously classified as held and used; and b. Its fair value at the date of the subsequent decision not to sell. A disposal group qualifies as discontinued operation if it is a component of the Group that either has been disposed of, or is classified as held for sale, and the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on the Group’s operations and financial results. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (n) Impairment of long-lived assets The Group evaluates its long-lived assets or asset group, including intangible assets with finite lives, 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 amount of an asset or a group of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. When these events occur, the Group evaluates for impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the assets to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected undiscounted cash flow is less than the carrying amount of the assets, the Group would recognize an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount of the asset group over its fair value. For long-lived assets held for sale, assets are written down to fair value less cost to sell. Fair value is generally determined by discounting the cash flows expected to be generated by the assets, when the market prices are not readily available for the long-lived assets. Impairment charge of nil, RMB13,448,000 and RMB114,000 (US$18,000) were recognized from properties and equipment and intangible assets for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021, respectively. (o) Investments Available-for-sale investments Investments not classified as trading or as held-to-maturity are classified as available-for-sale securities. Such available-for-sale investments are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss in shareholders’ deficit. Realized gains or losses are charged to earnings during the period in which the gain or loss is realized. If the Group determines a decline in fair value is other-than-temporary, the cost basis of the individual security is written down to its estimated fair value. The new cost basis will not be adjusted for subsequent recoveries in fair value. Determination of whether declines in value are other-than-temporary requires significant judgment. Subsequent increases and decreases in the fair value of available-for-sale securities will be included in other comprehensive loss except for other-than-temporary impairment, which would be charged to current period earnings. Impairment of available-for-sale investments for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021 were nil, nil and nil, respectively. Investment in limited partnerships Where consolidation is not appropriate, the Group applies the equity method of accounting that is consistent with ASC 323 “Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures” to limited partnerships in which the Group holds either (a) a five percent or greater interest or (b) less than a five percent interest when the Group has more than virtually no influence over the operating or financial policies of the limited partnership. The Group considers certain qualitative factors in assessing whether it has more than virtually no influence for partnership interests of less than five percent. For investments other than those described in (a) and (b) above, the Group applies the cost method of accounting. Cost method investment Prior to adopting ASC Topic 321 (“ASC 321”), Investments – Equity Securities, on January 1, 2018, the Group carries at cost its investments in investees that do not have readily determinable values or investments and over which the Group does not have significant influence, in accordance with ASC subtopic 325-20 (“ASC 325-20”), Investments-Other: Cost Method Investments. The Group carries the investment at cost and only adjusts for other-than-temporary declines in fair value and distributions of earnings that exceed the Group's share of earnings since its investment. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (o) Investments (continued) Management regularly evaluates the impairment of equity investments without readily determinable fair value based on the performance and financial position of the investee as well as other evidence of market value. Such evaluation includes, but is not limited to, reviewing the investee’s cash position, recent financing, projected and historical financial performance, cash flow forecasts and financing needs. An impairment loss is recognized in earnings equal to the excess of the investment’s cost over its fair value at the balance sheet date of the reporting period for which the assessment is made. The fair value would then become the new cost basis of investment. Impairment of cost method investment for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021 were nil, nil and nil, respectively. The Group adopted ASC 321 on January 1, 2018 and the cumulative effect of adopting the new standard on opening accumulated deficit is nil. Pursuant to ASC 321, equity investments, except for those accounted for under the equity method and those that result in consolidation of the investee and certain other investments, are measured at fair value, and any changes in fair value are recognized in earnings. For equity securities without readily determinable fair value and do not qualify for the existing practical expedient in ASC Topic 820 (“ASC 820”), Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, to estimate fair value using the net asset value per share (or its equivalent) of the investment, the Group elected to use the measurement alternative to measure those investments at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer, if any. Equity securities with readily determinable fair value are measured at fair values, and any changes in fair value are recognized in earnings. Pursuant to ASC 321, for equity investments measured at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings, the Group does not assess whether those securities are impaired. For those equity investments that the Group elects to use the measurement alternative, the Group makes a qualitative assessment of whether the investment is impaired at each reporting date. If a qualitative assessment indicates that the investment is impaired, the entity has to estimate the investment’s fair value in accordance with the principles of ASC 820. If the fair value is less than the investment’s carrying value, the entity has to recognize an impairment loss in net income equal to the difference between the carrying value and fair value. (p) Fair value of financial instruments The carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, other receivables included in prepaid expenses and other current assets, short-term investments, short term borrowings, accounts payables, accrued expenses, balances with related parties and other payables, approximate their fair values because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. The carrying amounts of long-term borrowings approximates its fair value since it bears interest rate which approximates market interest rates. Available-for-sale investments were initially recognized at cost and subsequently remeasured at the end of each reporting period with the adjustment in its fair value recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income. The Group, with the assistance of an independent third-party valuation firm, determined the estimated fair value of its available-for-sale investments that are recognized in the consolidated financial statements. (q) Revenue recognition The Group provides a portfolio of content and application delivery total solutions within its one class of services, such as, web page content services; file transfer services; rich media streaming services; guaranteed application delivery; managed internet data services; cloud hosting services; content bridging services; mobile internet solution; and value-added services to its customers that in turn improve the performance, reliability and scalability of their internet services and applications. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (q) Revenue recognition (continued) On January 1, 2018, the Group adopted ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, (“ASC 606”), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, (“ASC 605”), using the modified retrospective transition method applied to those contracts which were not completed as of January 1, 2018. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under ASC 606, while prior period amounts have not been adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with historic accounting under ASC 605. The impact of adopting the new revenue standard was not material to the consolidated financial statements and there was no adjustment to beginning retained earnings on January 1, 2018. Under ASC 606, an entity recognizes revenue as the Group satisfies a performance obligation when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that an entity determines are within the scope of ASC 606, the entity performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price, including variable consideration, if any; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Group only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration to which it is entitled in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. Once a contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606 at contract inception, the Group reviews the contract to determine which performance obligations it must deliver and which of these performance obligations are distinct. The Group recognizes revenue based on the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to each performance obligation when that performance obligation is satisfied or as it is satisfied. The Group is a principal and records revenue on a gross basis when the Group is primarily responsible for fulfilling the service, has discretion in establish pricing and controls the promised service before transferring that service to customers. Otherwise, the Group records revenue at the net amounts as commissions. The Group generates revenue from CDN, IDC and IX services under ASC Topic 606: CDN Services CDN is a content distribution network built on the network. Relying on the edge servers deployed in various regions, through load balancing, content distribution, scheduling and other functional modules of the central platform, CDN enables users to obtain the required content nearby, reduces network congestion, and improves user access response speed and hit rate. For revenue stream of CDN, the promised service is to provide CDN service to the customer, which is qualified as a single distinct performance obligation. The unit price is fixed when contract entered with customers. CDN services are typically provided to customers over the contract service period and the related revenues are recognized based on actual usage over the term of the contract after the reconciliation with customers completed. The Group is a principal and records revenue for CDN service on a gross basis. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (q) Revenue recognition (continued) IDC Services IDC services provide cabinet rental and bandwidth service to customer. The Group provides two promised services, cabinet rental and bandwidth service. The promise services are not distinct within the context of the contract as the goal of IDC is to combine traditional internet data center and content delivery. The reason why the customers rent the Group’s cabinet is not only to benefit from the Group’s physical hosting location and maintenance service, but also to enjoy the bandwidth service provided by the Group. It is cost efficient to consume the Group’s bandwidth service rather than to connect directly to bandwidth service provider such as China Unicom or China Mobile. Thus, these two promise services within the contract of IDC service-cabinet rental and bandwidth service are not distinct and shall be identified as one performance obligation. Typically, IDC services are provided to customers for a fixed unit price over the contract service period and the related revenues are recognized based on actual usage and unit price over the term of the contract after the reconciliation with customers completed. The Group is a principal and records revenue for IDC service on a gross basis. IX Services IX Services allow networks to interconnect directly, via the exchange, rather than through one or more third-party networks. The primary advantages of direct interconnection are cost, latency, and bandwidth. Same as IDC, there are two promised services within the contract, one is to provide a port usage and the other is to provide bandwidth. However, the service is not distinct within context of the contract as the services provided is highly integrated. Thus, only one performance obligation is identified for IX revenue stream. The unit price is fixed when contract entered with customers. IX services are provided to customers over the contract service period and the related revenues are recognized based on actual usage and unit price over the term of the contract after the reconciliation with customers completed. The Group is a principal and records revenue for IX service on a gross basis. 6% of value-added tax, or VAT are applied on all services provided by the Group’s PRC subsidiaries and VIEs and VIEs’ subsidiaries. Disaggregation of revenues The following table illustrates the disaggregation of revenue by revenue stream for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021. For the Years Ended December 31, 2019 2020 2021 RMB’000 RMB’000 RMB’000 US$’000 CDN Services 648,117 103,548 62,270 9,772 IDC Services 255,524 223,887 142,870 22,419 IX Services 14,987 7,902 251 39 Total 918,628 335,337 205,391 32,230 The following table provides information about accounts receivables and contract liabilities from contracts with customers: Years as of December 31, 2020 2021 RMB’000 RMB’000 US$’000 Accounts receivables 66,159 39,649 6,222 Advance from customers 17,466 — — 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (r) Cost of revenues Cost of revenue consists primarily of depreciation of the Group's long-lived assets, amortization of acquired intangible assets, maintenance, purchase of bandwidth and other overhead expenses directly attributable to the provision of content and application delivery total solutions. All the services provided by the Group in the PRC, including VIEs are subject to VAT. Such VAT (to the extent that is non-deductible) and other surcharges are accrued and charged to cost of revenues as the related exclusive business support, technical and consulting services are rendered. (s) Advertising expenditures Advertising expenditures are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenditures, included in sales and marketing expenses, amounted to approximately nil, nil and nil for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021, respectively. (t) Research and development costs Research and development costs consist primarily of payroll and related personnel costs for minor routine upgrades and related enhancements to the Group's services and network. Costs incurred in the development of the Group's services are expensed as incurred. To date, the amount of costs qualifying for capitalization has been insignificant. (u) Government grant Government grant are provided by the relevant PRC municipal government authorities to subsidize the cost of certain research and development projects. The amount of such government grant is determined solely at the discretion of the relevant government authorities and there is no assurance that the Group will continue to receive these government grant in the future. Government grant are recognized when it is probable that the Group will comply with the conditions attached to them, and the grant are received. When the grant relates to an expense item, it is recognized as deferred government grant and released to the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss over the period necessary to match the grant on a systematic basis to the costs that it is intended to compensate, as other operating income. Where the grant relates to an asset, it is recognized as deferred government grant and released to the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss in equal amounts over the expected useful life of the related asset, when operational, as other operating income. Government grant received by the Group also consist of unrestricted grant which are received on an unsolicited and unconditional basis to support the growth of the Group and do not relate to the Group's operating activities. Unrestricted grant is classified as non-operating income and recorded in other income on the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss upon receipt. (v) Leases Leases are classified at the inception date as either a finance lease or an operating lease. The Group did not enter into any leases whereby it is the lessor for any of the periods presented. The Group leases equipment under finance lease agreements. As the lessee, a lease is a finance lease if any of the following conditions exists: a) ownership is transferred to the lessee by the end of the lease term, b) there is a bargain purchase option, c) the lease term is for the major part of the equipment’s estimated remaining economic life, or d) the present value of the sum of the lease payments and any residual value guaranteed that is not already reflected in the lease payments equals or exceeds substantially all of the fair value of equipment, d) the equipment is of such specialized nature that is expected to have no alternative use to the lessor at the end of lease term. A lease involving integral equipment is a finance lease only if condition (a) or (b) exists. A finance lease is accounted for as if there was an acquisition of an asset and an incurrence of an obligation at the inception of the lease. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (v) Leases (continued) The Group has certain operating leases for offices and IDC buildings 3# with equipment in it. Some leases include one or more options to renew, which is typically at the Group's sole discretion. The majority of renewals to extend the lease terms are not included in our right of use assets and lease liabilities as they are not reasonably certain of exercise. The Group regularly evaluates the renewal options, and, when it is reasonably certain of exercise, it will include the renewal period in its lease term. New lease modifications result in remeasurement of the right of use asset and lease liability. The Group’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. In February 2016, the FASB issued a new standard related to leases to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring the recognition of operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet. Most prominent among the changes in the standard is the recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases. Under the standard, disclosures are required to meet the objective of enabling users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The Group is also required to recognize and measure new leases at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment in the period of adoption using a modified retrospective approach, with certain practical expedients available. On January 1, 2019, the Group adopted the new lease accounting standard using a modified retrospective transition method which allowed the Group not to recast comparative periods presented in its consolidated financial statements. Adoption of this standard resulted in the recording of operating lease ROU assets and corresponding operating lease liabilities and had no impact on accumulated deficit as of January 1, 2019. It had an impact on the Group’s consolidated balance sheets, by initial recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities of RMB166,124,000 (US$23,862,000) and RMB164,358,000 (US$23,608,000), respectively, for operating leases, while the Group’s accounting for finance leases remained substantially unchanged. The adoption of ASC 842 did not have a material impact on the Group’s results of operations or cash flows in the current year and prior year comparative periods and as a result, a cumulative-effect adjustment was not required. ROU assets and related lease obligations are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of remaining lease payments over the lease term, using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group’s incremental borrowing rate for the same term as the underlying lease. (w) Income taxes The Group follows the liability method in accounting for income taxes in accordance to ASC topic 740 "Taxation" (“ASC 740”), Income Taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities usi |

CONCENTRATION OF RISK | |
CONCENTRATION OF RISK | 3. CONCENTRATION OF RISK (a) Credit risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Group to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables included in prepaid expenses and other current assets, available-for-sale investments and amounts due from related parties. As of December 31, 2020 and 2021, RMB 17,369,000 and RMB 26,389,000 (US$4,141,000), respectively, were deposited with major financial institutions located in the PRC, RMB 1,297,000 and RMB 4,386,000 (US$688,000), respectively, were deposited with in the major financial institutions located in the Hong Kong Special Administration Region, RMB 4,694,000 and RMB 3,363,000 (US$527,000), respectively, were deposited with major financial institutions located in the UK, RMB 7,931,000 and RMB 11,373,000 (US$1,784,000), respectively were held in major financial institutions in the United States of America. Management believes that these financial institutions are of high credit quality and continually monitor the credit worthiness of these financial institutions. Historically, deposits in Chinese banks are secure due to the state policy on protecting depositors’ interests. However, China promulgated a new Bankruptcy Law in August 2006 that came into effect on June 1, 2007, which contains a separate article expressly stating that the State Council may promulgate implementation measures for the bankruptcy of Chinese banks based on the Bankruptcy Law. Under the new Bankruptcy Law, a Chinese bank may go into bankruptcy. In addition, since China’s concession to the World Trade Organization, foreign banks have been gradually permitted to operate in China and have been significant competitors against Chinese banks in many aspects, especially since the opening of the Renminbi business to foreign banks in late 2006. Therefore, the risk of bankruptcy of those Chinese banks in which the Group has deposits has increased. In the event of bankruptcy of one of the banks which holds the Group's deposits, it is unlikely to claim its deposits back in full since it is unlikely to be classified as a secured creditor based on PRC laws. (b) Business, supplier, customer, and economic risk The Group participates in a relatively young and dynamic industry that is heavily reliant and also susceptible to complementary and/or competitive technological advancements. The Group believes that changes in any of the following areas could have a material adverse effect on the Group's future financial position, results of operations or cash flows: (i) Business Risk - Third parties may develop technological or business model innovations that address content delivery requirements in a manner that is, or is perceived to be, equivalent or superior to the Group's services. If competitors introduce new products or services that compete with, or surpass the quality, price or performance of the Group's services, the Group may be unable to renew its agreements with existing customers or attract new customers at the prices and levels that allow the Group to generate reasonable rates of return on its investment. 3. CONCENTRATION OF RISK (CONTINUED) (b) Business, supplier, customer, and economic risk (Continued) (ii) Supplier Risk - Changes in key telecommunications resources suppliers and certain strategic relationships with telecom carriers. The Group's operations are dependent upon communications capacity provided by the third-party telecom carriers and third-party controlled end-user access network. There can be no assurance that the Group are adequately prepared for unexpected increases in bandwidth demands by its customers. The communications capacity the Group has leased may become unavailable for a variety of reasons, such as physical interruption, technical difficulties, contractual disputes, or the financial health of its third-party providers. Any failure of these network providers to provide the capacity the Group requires may result in a reduction in, or interruption of, service to its customers. Details of the purchase from suppliers accounting for 10% or more of total purchase cost are as follows: Years as of December 31, 2019 2020 2021 RMB’000 RMB’000 RMB’000 US$’000 Supplier A 59,465 * * * Supplier B 49,802 63,608 * * Supplier C 91,268 * * * Supplier D * 13,833 * * Supplier E * 12,431 * * Supplier F * * 62,296 9,776 Supplier G * * 29,522 4,633 Details of the accounts payable for purchases accounting for 10% or more of total cost are as follow: Years as of December 31, 2020 2021 RMB’000 RMB’000 US$’000 Supplier A * * * Supplier B 28,929 28,929 4,540 Supplier C * * * Supplier D 12,853 * * Supplier E 6,290 * * *not greater than 10% 3. CONCENTRATION OF RISK (CONTINUED) (b) Business, supplier, customer, and economic risk (Continued) (iii) Customer Risk - Revenue concentration on certain customers. The success of the Group’s business going forward will rely in part on Group’s ability to continue to obtain and expand business from existing customers while also attracting new customers. Although the Group has a diversified base of customers covering its one class of services, such as, web page content services; file transfer services; rich media streaming service; guaranteed application services; managed internet data services; cloud hosting services; content bridging services; mobile internet solution; and value-added services, the Group does depend on a limited number of customers for a substantial portion of their revenue, and the loss of, or a significant shortfall in demand from, these customers could significantly harm the Group’s results of operations. Details of the revenues for customers accounting for 10% or more of total revenues are as follows: Years as of December 31, 2019 2020 2021 RMB’000 RMB’000 RMB’000 US$’000 Customer E 520,358 * * * Customer F * 54,389 * * Customer G * * 65,505 10,279 Customer H * * 20,774 3,260 Details of the accounts receivables for customers accounting for 10% or more of total accounts receivable are as follows: Years as of December 31, 2020 2021 RMB’000 RMB’000 US$’000 Customer A 7,019 * * Customer B * 15,113 2,372 Customer C 6,352 5,387 845 Customer D * 5,012 786 Customer F 17,706 * * Customer H * 5,160 810 (iv) Emerging or unproven business models of customers. Many of the Group's existing and potential customers are pursuing emerging or unproven business models which, if unsuccessful, could lead to a substantial decline in demand for the Group's services, and the Group's growth and prospects may be materially and adversely affected. (v) Political, economic and social uncertainties. The Group's operations could be adversely affected by significant political, economic and social uncertainties in the PRC. Although the PRC government has been pursuing economic reform policies for more than 20 years, no assurance can be given that the PRC government will continue to pursue such policies or that such policies may not be significantly altered, especially in the event of a change in leadership, social or political disruption or unforeseen circumstances affecting the PRC political, economic and social conditions. There is also no guarantee that the PRC government’s pursuit of economic reforms will be consistent or effective. (vi) Regulatory restrictions. The applicable PRC laws, rules and regulations currently prohibit foreign ownership of companies that provide content and application delivery services. Accordingly, both the Company’s subsidiaries, ChinaCache Beijing and Xin Run are currently ineligible to apply for the required licenses for providing content and application delivery services in China. As a result, the Company operates its business in the PRC through its VIEs, which holds the licenses and permits required to provide content and application delivery services in the PRC. The PRC Government may also choose at any time to block access to the Company's customers’ content which could also materially impact the Company's ability to generate revenue. 3. CONCENTRATION OF RISK (CONTINUED) (c) Currency convertibility risk Half of the Group's businesses are transacted in RMB, which is not freely convertible into foreign currencies. On January 1, 1994, the PRC government abolished the dual rate system and introduced a single rate of exchange as quoted daily by the People’s Bank of China. However, the unification of the exchange rates does not imply the convertibility of RMB into US$ or other foreign currencies. All foreign exchange transactions continue to take place either through the People’s Bank of China or other banks authorized to buy and sell foreign currencies at the exchange rates quoted by the People’s Bank of China. Approval of foreign currency payments by the People’s Bank of China or other institutions requires submitting a payment application form together with suppliers’ invoices, shipping documents and signed contracts. (d) Foreign currency exchange rate risk From July 21, 2005, the RMB is permitted to fluctuate within a narrow and managed band against a basket of certain foreign currencies. The depreciation/(appreciation) of the RMB against US$ was approximately 1.3%, (6.27)% and (2.34)% in the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021, respectively. Most of revenues and costs of the Company are denominated in RMB, while a portion of cash and cash equivalents, short-term financial assets and investments denominated in U.S. dollars. Any significant revaluation of RMB may materially and adversely affect the Company’s cash flows, revenues, earnings and financial position, and the value of, and any dividends payable on, the ADS in US$. |

ASSETS HELD FOR SALE / LIABILITIES HELD FOR SALE On December 30, 2014, Xin Run entered into a definitive sale and leaseback agreement with Beijing Federation of Supply and Marketing Cooperatives ("BFSMC"), according to which Xin Run should hand over to BFSMC two IDC buildings (5# and 6#) by September 2015 for a consideration of RMB 960 million through transferring the ownership of the two IDC buildings from Xin Run to Beijing Zhao Du, and selling all Beijing Zhao Du's equity interests to BFSMC. On February 6, 2015, Xin Run entered into a supplementary agreement with BFSMC and one subsidiary of BFSMC, Beijing Shi Xin Heng Tai Investment Co., Ltd ("SXHT"), according to which the subsidiary SXHT became the beneficiary of the original arrangement and took over the rights and obligations from February 27, 2015. Consideration of RMB 672 million was received from the subsidiary by September 2015. Starting in August 2017, Xin Run and the buyer entered into a series of lawsuits. On December 31, 2019, the court sentenced that the original equity transfer agreement with SXHT is invalid and both parties should return the money received.As of December 31, 2021, the second instance of this case has been completed(Note 25). In April 2014, Xin Run entered into a framework agreement with a third-party company, pursuant to which Xin Run agreed to sell the IDC building 3# to it. In August 2014, the Group established Beijing Shuo Ge. The consideration of RMB 325 million was received from the third-party company by January 2015. In July 2015, Xin Run sold the total CIP along with related land use right of IDC building 3# to Beijing Shuo Ge. On December 29, 2017, Xin Run entered into an equity transfer agreement with the third-party company, under which Xin Run would transfer 100% equity interest in Beijing Shuo Ge to it before September 2018. On April 3, 2019, Xin Run entered into a definitive equity transfer agreement with the third-party company, pursuant to which, Xin Run agrees to transfer 100% equity interest in Beijing Shuo Ge to the third-party company with a reduced consideration of RMB251,800,000 (US$36,169,000) and would return the difference of RMB73,200,000 (US$10,515,000) between original and reduced consideration in 5 years from 2019 to 2024 (Note 15). The disposal of Beijing Shuo Ge was completed in May 2019, resulting a disposal gain of RMB18,285,000 (US$2,626,000).

As of December 31, 2020 and 2021, the carrying value of Beijing Zhao Du and Beijing Shuo Ge’s net assets were less than fair value less costs to sell, and accordingly, no adjustment to the asset value was made necessary. Beijing Zhao Du and Beijing Shuo Ge did not meet the criteria to be classified as discontinued operations because they did not represent a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major impact on the Group’s operations and financial results to meet the criteria to be classified as discontinued operations. 9 .

On July 2, 2012, the Group approved amendments to the 2011 Plan which provide, in effect, that the maximum aggregate number of ordinary shares that may be issued pursuant to all awards (the “Award Pool”) under the 2011 Plan shall be equal to five percent of the total issued and outstanding ordinary shares as of July 2, 2012; provided that, the ordinary shares reserved in the Award Pool shall be increased automatically if and whenever the unissued ordinary shares reserved in the Award Pool accounts for less than one percent of the total then issued and outstanding ordinary shares, as a result of which increase the unused ordinary shares reserved in the Award Pool immediately after each such increase shall equal to five percent of the then issued and outstanding ordinary shares. The 2007 Plan, 2008 Plan, 2010 Plan and 2011 Plan (collectively, the “Option Plans”) will be administered by the Compensation Committee as set forth in the Option Plans (the “Plan Administrator”). The board of directors of a committee designated by the board will administer the plan to execute option agreements with those persons selected by the Plan Administrator and issue ordinary shares of the Group upon exercise of any options so granted pursuant to the terms of an option agreement. The 2007 and 2008 Option Plans contain the same terms and conditions. All options granted under the 2007 and 2008 Option Plans have a term of nine years from the option grant date and have two different vesting schedules: 1) vest 100% on the stated vesting commencement date in the grantee’s option agreement; or 2) vest 50% on the second anniversary of the stated vesting commencement date and 25% on the third and fourth seven second third fourth third fourth six second third fourth third fourth one second third During the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021, the Group granted nil, nil and nil options, respectively, to a combination of employees and directors of the Group at exercise prices ranging from US$0.06 to US$0.07. As of December 31, 2021, options to purchase 19,097,149 of ordinary shares were outstanding and options to purchase 13,658,508 ordinary shares were available for exercise under the Option Plans. 18. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION (CONTINUED) The binomial option pricing model was applied in determining the estimated fair value of the options granted to employees and non-employees. The model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions including the estimated expected stock price volatility, the expected price multiple at which employees are likely to exercise share options. For expected volatilities, the Group has made reference to the historical price volatilities of ordinary shares of several comparable companies in the same industry as the Group. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury Bills yield in effect at the time of grant. (a) Options Granted to Employees The following table summarized the Group's employee share option activity under the Option Plans: Weighted Weighted average average remaining Aggregate Number of Exercise contractual intrinsic options price term value (US$) (Years) (US$’000) Outstanding, January 1, 2019 37,369,229 0.11 7.81 2 Granted — — — — Exercised (44,000) 0.08 — — Forfeited (6,143,024) 0.16 — — Outstanding, December 31, 2019 31,182,205 0.10 7.23 1.35 Exercisable at December 31, 2019 20,119,147 0.10 7.10 1.35 Granted — — — — Exercised — — — — Forfeited (9,945,152) 0.08 — — Outstanding, December 31, 2020 21,237,053 0.11 5.40 — Exercisable at December 31, 2020 13,529,251 0.11 5.40 — Granted — — — — Exercised — — — — Forfeited (2,139,904) 0.18 — — Outstanding, December 31, 2021 19,097,149 0.10 4.90 — Exercisable at December 31, 2021 13,658,508 0.10 4.90 — 18. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION (CONTINUED) (a) Options Granted to Employees (continued) The aggregated intrinsic value of share options outstanding and exercisable at December 31, 2021 was calculated based on the closing price of the Group's ordinary shares on December 31, 2021. As no trading has been made during 2021, it can be assumed that the share price is nil. The total intrinsic value of share options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021 was RMB18,000, nil and nil, respectively. As of December 31, 2021, there was nil of unrecognized share-based compensation cost related to share options issued to employees, which are expected to be recognized following the graded vesting method over the remaining vesting periods of different tranches, within 1 year. The total fair value of options vested during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021 was RMB 1,834,000, RMB649,000 and nil, respectively.

On December 11, 2015, the Group issued 40,106,656 units of restricted share units to the employees and directors under the 2011 Plan. The restricted share units shall become vested in each year of 2016, 2017 and 2018, respectively.

INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED) Enterprise income tax (continued) ChinaCache Networks (Hong Kong) Limited, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary incorporated in Hong Kong, for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2021, income tax rate decreased to 8.25% for profit below HKD 2 million, and 16.5% for excessive profit over HKD 2 million. The PRC The Company’s subsidiaries and the VIEs that are each incorporated in the PRC are subject to Corporate Income Tax (“CIT”) on the taxable income as reported in their respective statutory financial statements adjusted in accordance with the new PRC Enterprise Income Tax Laws (“PRC Income Tax Laws”) effective from January 1, 2008. Pursuant to the PRC Income Tax Laws, the Company’s PRC subsidiaries and the VIEs are subject to a CIT statutory rate of 25%. Under the PRC Income Tax Laws, an enterprise which qualifies as a High and New Technology Enterprise (“the HNTE”) is entitled to a preferential tax rate of 15% provided it continues to meet HNTE qualification standards on an annual basis. ChinaCache Beijing qualifies as an HNTE and is entitled for a preferential tax rate of 15% from 2016 to 2021 if it continues to qualify on an annual basis. The HNTE certificate of ChinaCache Beijing wass expired in 2022. Beijing Blue IT qualifies as an HNTE and is entitled for a preferential tax rate of 15% from 2016 to 2020 if it continues to qualify on an annual basis.

In accordance with the PRC Income Tax Laws, enterprises established under the laws of foreign countries or regions but whose “place of effective management” is located within the PRC are considered PRC tax resident enterprises and subject to PRC income tax at the rate of 25% on worldwide income. The definition of “place of effective management” refers to an establishment that exercises, in substance, overall management and control over the production and business, personnel, accounting, properties, etc. of an enterprise. As of December 31, 2021, no applicable detailed interpretation or guidance has been issued to define “place of effective management”. Furthermore, the administrative practice associated with interpreting and applying the concept of “place of effective management” is unclear. Based on the assessment of facts and circumstances available at December 31, 2021, management believes none of its non-PRC entities are more likely than not PRC tax resident enterprises. It is possible the assessment of tax residency status may change in the next twelve months, pending announcement of new PRC tax rules in the future. The Group will continue to monitor its tax status.

The amount of unrecognized tax expense will change in the next 12 months, pending clarification of current tax law or audit by the tax authorities, however, an estimate of the range of the possible change cannot be made at this time.

RESTRICTED NET ASSETS | |
RESTRICTED NET ASSETS | 22. RESTRICTED NET ASSETS The Company’s ability to pay dividends is primarily dependent on the Company receiving distributions of funds from its subsidiaries. Relevant PRC statutory laws and regulations permit payments of dividends by the Company’s PRC subsidiaries only out of their retained earnings, if any, as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. The results of operations reflected in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP differ from those reflected in the statutory financial statements of the Company’s subsidiaries. 22. RESTRICTED NET ASSETS (CONTINUED) In accordance with the PRC Regulations on Enterprises with Foreign Investment and the articles of association of the Company’s PRC subsidiaries, a foreign-invested enterprise established in the PRC is required to provide certain statutory reserves, namely general reserve fund, the enterprise expansion fund and staff welfare and bonus fund which are appropriated from net profit as reported in the enterprise’s PRC statutory accounts. A foreign-invested enterprise is required to allocate at least 10% of its annual after-tax profit to the general reserve until such reserve has reached 50% of its respective registered capital based on the enterprise’s PRC statutory accounts. Appropriations to the enterprise expansion fund and staff welfare and bonus fund are at the discretion of the board of directors for all foreign-invested enterprises. The aforementioned reserves can only be used for specific purposes and are not distributable as cash dividends. ChinaCache Beijing was established as a foreign-invested enterprise and, therefore, is subject to the above mandated restrictions on distributable profits. As of December 31, 2020 and 2021, the Group had appropriated RMB1,326,000 and RMB 1,326,000 (US$208,000), respectively in its statutory reserves. Foreign exchange and other regulations in the PRC may further restrict the Company’s PRC subsidiaries and VIEs from transferring funds to the Company in the form of dividends, loans and advances. Amounts restricted include paid-in capital and statutory reserves of the Company’s PRC Subsidiaries and the equity of VIEs, as determined pursuant to PRC generally accepted accounting principles. As of December 31, 2021, restricted net assets of the Company’s PRC subsidiaries and VIEs were RMB 511,413,000 (US$80,252,000). |

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT | |
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT | 24. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT The Group applies ASC topic 820, “ Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: Level 1 – Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. Level 2 – Include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace. Level 3 – Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity. ASC 820 describes three main approaches to measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities: (1) market approach; (2) income approach and (3) cost approach. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated from market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present value amount. The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. The cost approach is based on the amount that would currently be required to replace an asset. In accordance with ASC 820, the available-for-sale investment of the mutual fund is classified within Level 1 as the Group measures the fair value using quoted trading prices that are published on a regular basis. |

In September 2017, SXHT filed the statement of defense and made a counterclaim, claiming, among others, the late delivery penalties and relating losses in the total amount of approximately RMB50.5 million up to September 12, 2017. In addition, Xin Run’s bank deposits and other assets in a total amount of approximately RMB50.5 million were sealed up, distrained or frozen by the court. On April 24, 2018, Xin Run amended its claim requesting, among other things, the defendant pay the additional purchase price of RMB96 million, damages for breach of contract in an amount of RMB14.4 million and the related interest of RMB8.86 million. On December 31, 2019, the court sentenced that the original equity transfer agreement with SXHT is invalid and both parties should return the money received. In January 2020, Xin Run appealed to higher court to request that a) SXHT to should pay the interest for the RMB 82.68 million rental it has received from the date such fund was paid by Xin Run at annualized interest rate of 4.35% in the amount of RMB 13.34 million up to January 17, 2020, b) SXHT should return business license of Beijing Zhao Du to Xin Run, c) the unpaid rental balance due to SXHT should be also waived, as the lease back agreement were signed based on the original equity transfer agreement, which was sentenced by court as invalid. And that the sentence, including the compulsory execution made the June 2019 relating to the overdue rental payment should also be withdrawn. In January 2020, SXHT also appealed to higher court to request Xin Run to pay interest for the RMB 672 million consideration from the date such fund was paid to Xin Run at annualized interest rate of 9%, in the total amount of RMB263.79 million up to December 31, 2019. As of December 31, 2021, the second instance of this case has been completed. The court final sentenced that the original equity transfer agreement with SXHT is invalid and both parties should return the money received without interest. In 2021, as the final judgement sentenced, the liabilities of RMB128.89 million recorded for the penalty in the balance sheet under other payables shall be not payable. The management reversed the penalty accrual and recorded the gain in other income. Other litigations We and certain of our current and former officers and directors have been named as defendants in a shareholder class action lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California (the “Central California District Court”): William Likas v. ChinaCache International Holdings Ltd. et al, Civil Action No. 2:2019-cv-06942 (C.D. Cal.) (filed on August 9, 2019). The action—purportedly brought on behalf of a class of persons who allegedly suffered damages as a result of their trading activities related to the our ADSs from April 10, 2015 to May 17, 2019—alleges that certain of the our public statements and filings contained materially false and misleading statements or omissions in violation of U.S. securities laws. On October 2, 2019, the Central California District Court appointed a group of two purported shareholders of us as the Lead Plaintiff of the class. On December 15, 2020, the parties reached an agreement to a stipulation and agreement of settlement to settle this purported class action. On April 26, 2021, the court granted preliminary approval of the settlement and scheduled a settlement hearing on August 27, 2021. On March 14, 2022, the Central California District Court entered an order and final judgment approving the agreement of settlement. In June 2019, a computer company filed a lawsuit against Xin Run in the Beijing Shunyi District People’s Court, requesting Xin Run to pay overdue construction fees and relevant interest in a total amount of approximately RMB74.6 million. In September 2021, the court ruled that Xin Run should pay overdue construction fees in a total amount of approximately RMB54.42 million, the interests accrued thereon and the relevant costs of legal proceedings. Such computer company has applied to the competent court for compulsory execution of the foregoing court decision. As of Decmber 31,2021, the Company has accrued the amount as other payables. 25. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED) (b) Contingencies (continued) In June 2019, such computer company filed another lawsuit against Xin Run in the Beijing Haidian District People’s Court, requesting Xin Run to pay overdue equipment purchase payment and relevant interest in a total amount of approximately RMB40.8 million. Xin Run filed a motion to dismiss the case for lack of jurisdiction, which was granted by the court and the jurisdiction of this lawsuit has been changed to Beijing Chaoyang District People’s Court. In October 2021, the court ruled that Xin Run should pay overdue equipment purchase payment, the relevant examination fees and the interests accrued thereon in a total amount of approximately RMB34.12 million, as well as the costs of legal proceedings. Such computer company has applied to the competent court for compulsory execution of the foregoing court decision. As of Decmber 31,2021, the Company has accrued the amount as other payables. In December 2019, a technology company filed a lawsuit against Xin Run in the Beijing Shunyi District People's Court, requesting Xin Run to pay overdue fees of approximately RMB38.0 million, relevant interest and costs of legal proceedings. Xin Run filed a motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction in January, 2020, which was granted by the court. As of March 2021, the case has been withdrawn by such technology company. In December 2019, another technology company filed a lawsuit against Xin Run in Beijing Shunyi District People’s Court, for the alleged non-payment of construction fees of RMB65.2 million and the relating interest of RMB7.5 million. As of December 31, 2020, The Company has accrued most of the amount as other payables amounting to approximately RMB43.96 million. In September 2021, the court ruled that Xin Run should pay overdue construction fees and the interests accrued thereon in a total amount of approximately RMB74.81 million, as well as the costs of legal proceedings. Such technology company has applied to the competent court for compulsory execution of the court judgement. The Company is currently unable to assess the likely outcomes of such proceedings. Therefore, no provision has been made for this case. In January 2020, a technology company filed a lawsuit against Beijing Blue I.T.in the Beijing Chaoyang District People’s Court, requesting Beijing Blue I.T. to pay overdue fees of approximately RMB38.6 million, relevant interest and costs of legal proceedings. The court ruled that Beijing Blue I.T. should pay overdue fees of approximately RMB38.6 million and the relevant interests thereof, together with the costs of legal proceedings. We appealed such court judgement to higher court, but our appeal has been dismissed. Such technology company has applied to the competent court for compulsory execution of the court judgement. The Company has accrued most of the amount as accounts payable of approximately RMB 28.9 million. Management is of the view that these proceedings are at preliminary stages, and it is impossible at this stage to properly evaluate the outcome. 25. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED) (b) Contingencies (continued) In March 2020, a technology company filed a lawsuit against Beijing Blue I.T. in the Hangzhou Internet Court, requesting Beijing Blue I.T. to pay overdue fees of approximately RMB15.4 million, relevant interest and costs of legal proceedings. As of the date hereof, this lawsuit is still pending. The court ruled that Beijing Blue I.T. should pay overdue fees of approximately RMB15.4 million, the interests accrued thereon and costs of legal proceedings. We appealed such court judgment to higher court, but our appeal has been dismissed. Such technology company has applied to the competent court for compulsory execution of the court judgement. The company has made full provision for bad debts. In August 2020, Xin Run filed a lawsuit against three citizens in the Beijing Tongzhou District People’s Court, requesting such citizens to return the service fees of approximately RMB77.2 million, and to pay relevant interest and costs of legal proceedings. As of the date hereof, this lawsuit is still ongoing, and management is of the view that these proceedings are at a preliminary stage, therefore it is impossible at this stage to properly evaluate the outcome. However, relevant receivables recorded under prepaid expense and other current assets has been fully impaired in 2021. In September 2021, a telecommunication company filed an arbitration against Beijing Blue I.T. in the Beijing Arbitration Commission, requesting Beijing Blue I.T. to pay overdue service fees and liquidated damage in a total amount of approximately RMB11.31 million, relevant interest and costs of legal proceedings. In March 2022, the Beijing Arbitration Commission awarded that Beijing Blue I.T. should pay overdue service fees of approximately RMB5.79 million and the relevant liquidated damages and costs of legal proceedings. |

Such investment is presented on the balance sheets as “Investment in subsidiaries” and share of their income as “Share of losses from subsidiaries and Consolidated VIEs” on the statements of comprehensive loss. The PRC subsidiary and VIEs have restrictions on their ability to pay dividends to the Company under PRC laws and regulations (Note 22). The subsidiaries and VIEs did not pay any dividends to the Company for the years presented.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUN_2
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies) | 12 Months Ended |
Dec. 31, 2021 | |
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | |
Basis of presentation | (a) Basis of presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). |
Going concern | (b) Going concern The Group experienced net loss of approximately RMB52,705,000,RMB73,123,000 and RMB14,261,000 for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021, respectively. As of December 31, 2021, the Group had net current liabilities of approximately RMB1,530,313,000 (US$240,139,000), excluding net asset held for sale. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (b) Going concern (continued) When preparing the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2021 and for the year then ended, the Group ’s management concluded that a going concern basis of preparation was appropriate after analyzing the cash flow forecast for the next twelve months. In preparing the cash flow analysis, management took into account of a) estimated consideration of RMB1,528,000,000 (US$239,776,000) from planned disposal of the cloud infrastructure buildings and assets held for sale, and b) locating more domestic CDN customers from 2022 to compensate the estimated revenue decrease from US, and controlling its operating costs and negotiating with vendors for more favorable payment terms. If the Group fails to achieve these goals, the Group may need additional financing to execute its business plan. If additional financing is required, the Group cannot predict whether this additional financing will be in the form of equity, debt, or another form, and the Group may not be able to obtain the necessary additional capital on a timely basis, on acceptable terms, or at all. In the event that financing sources are not available, or that the Group is unsuccessful in increasing its gross profit margin and reducing operating losses, the Group may be unable to implement its current plans for expansion, repay debt obligations or respond to competitive pressures, any of which would have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. Management prepared the consolidated financial statements assuming the Group will continue as a going concern. However, there is no assurance that the measures above can be achieved as planned. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. If the Group is unable to continue as a going concern, it may have to liquidate its assets and may receive less than the value at which those assets are carried on the financial statements. |
Principles of consolidation | (c) Principles of consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, its subsidiaries and the VIEs for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All inter-company transactions and balances between the Company, its subsidiaries and the VIEs are eliminated upon consolidation. Results of acquired subsidiaries or VIEs are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Company. |
Use of estimates | (d) Use of estimates The preparation of the 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 at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Areas where management uses subjective judgment include, but are not limited to, estimating the useful lives of long-lived assets and intangible assets, renewal period of lease terms and incremental borrowing rate of right-of-use assets and related lease obligations, impairment of long-term investments, long-lived assets and intangible assets, allowance for doubtful accounts, accounting for deferred income taxes, and accounting for share-based compensation arrangements. The valuation of and accounting for the Group’s financial instruments also require significant estimates and judgments provided by management. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and as such, differences may be material to the consolidated financial statements. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) |
Foreign currency | (e) Foreign currency The functional currency of the Company and each of its subsidiaries and VIEs is the Renminbi (“RMB”), except for ChinaCache US, ChinaCache HK, ShenRong HK, and ChinaCache UK, which are the United States dollar (“US$”), Hong Kong dollar (“HK$”), and Great Britain Pound (“GBP”) respectively, as determined based on the criteria of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 830 (“ASC 830”) “ Foreign Currency Matters |
Convenience translation | (f) Convenience translation Amounts in US$ are presented for the convenience of the reader and are translated at the noon buying rate of US$1.00 to RMB6.3757 on December 31, 2021 in the City of New York for cable transfers of RMB as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into US$ at such rate. |
Cash and cash equivalents | (g) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and demand deposits placed with banks or other financial institutions which are unrestricted as to withdrawal and use and have original maturities less than three months. For the purpose of the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents also consist of cash and cash equivalents included in assets held for sale. |
Restricted Cash | (h) Restricted Cash As of December 31, 2020 and 2021, all the restricted cash relates to cash frozen by courts order during the ongoing legal proceedings. |
Accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts | (i) Accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts Accounts receivable are carried at net realizable value. An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded in the period when loss is probable based on an assessment of specific evidence indicating troubled collection, historical experience, accounts aging and other factors. An accounts receivable is written off after all collection effort has ceased. |
Property and equipment | (j) Property and equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows: Optical Fibers 20 years Computer equipment 3-15 years Furniture, fixtures and office equipment 5 years Motor vehicles 10 years Leasehold improvements Over the shorter of lease term or the estimated useful lives of the assets Building 20-40 years 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (j) Property and equipment (continued) Repair and maintenance costs are charged to expense when incurred, whereas the cost of betterments that extend the useful life of property and equipment are capitalized as additions to the related assets. Retirement, sale and disposals of assets are recorded by removing the cost and related accumulated depreciation with any resulting gain or loss reflected in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. Property and equipment that are purchased or constructed which require a period of time before the assets are ready for their intended use are accounted for as construction-in-progress. Construction-in-progress is recorded at acquisition cost, including installation costs. Construction-in-progress is transferred to specific property and equipment accounts and commences depreciation when these assets are ready for their intended use. The amounts of interest that would be capitalized were immaterial during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021. |
Land use right | (k) Land use right The land use right represents the amounts paid and relevant costs incurred for the right to use land in the PRC and are recorded at purchase cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is provided on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective land use right agreement. |
Intangible assets | (l) Intangible assets Intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and any impairment. Intangible assets with a finite useful life are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated economic life of the intangible assets as follows: Purchased software 5 years 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) |
Long-lived assets (disposal groups) to be disposed of by sale | (m) Long-lived assets (disposal groups) to be disposed of by sale The Group classifies long-lived assets and disposal groups as held for sale if their carrying amounts will be recovered principally through disposal by sale rather than through continuing use. Such long-lived assets and disposal groups are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Costs to sell are the incremental costs directly attributable to the sale, excluding the finance costs and income tax expense. The criteria for held for sale classification is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable and the asset or disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition. Actions required to complete the sale should indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the sale will be made or that the decision to sell will be withdrawn. Property and equipment, land use right and intangible assets are not depreciated or amortized once classified as held for sale. Assets and liabilities classified as held for sale are presented separately as current items in the consolidated balance sheets. If circumstances arise that previously were considered unlikely and, as a result, an entity decides not to sell a long-lived asset or disposal group previously classified as held for sale, the asset or disposal group would be reclassified as held and used. The Group measures long-lived assets that are reclassified on an individually basis at the lower of the following: a. Its carrying amount before the asset or disposal group was classified as held for sale, adjusted for any depreciation or amortization expense that would have been recognized had the asset or disposal group been continuously classified as held and used; and b. Its fair value at the date of the subsequent decision not to sell. A disposal group qualifies as discontinued operation if it is a component of the Group that either has been disposed of, or is classified as held for sale, and the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on the Group’s operations and financial results. |
Impairment of long-lived assets | 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (n) Impairment of long-lived assets The Group evaluates its long-lived assets or asset group, including intangible assets with finite lives, 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 amount of an asset or a group of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. When these events occur, the Group evaluates for impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the assets to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected undiscounted cash flow is less than the carrying amount of the assets, the Group would recognize an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount of the asset group over its fair value. For long-lived assets held for sale, assets are written down to fair value less cost to sell. Fair value is generally determined by discounting the cash flows expected to be generated by the assets, when the market prices are not readily available for the long-lived assets. Impairment charge of nil, RMB13,448,000 and RMB114,000 (US$18,000) were recognized from properties and equipment and intangible assets for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021, respectively. |
Investments | (o) Investments Available-for-sale investments Investments not classified as trading or as held-to-maturity are classified as available-for-sale securities. Such available-for-sale investments are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss in shareholders’ deficit. Realized gains or losses are charged to earnings during the period in which the gain or loss is realized. If the Group determines a decline in fair value is other-than-temporary, the cost basis of the individual security is written down to its estimated fair value. The new cost basis will not be adjusted for subsequent recoveries in fair value. Determination of whether declines in value are other-than-temporary requires significant judgment. Subsequent increases and decreases in the fair value of available-for-sale securities will be included in other comprehensive loss except for other-than-temporary impairment, which would be charged to current period earnings. Impairment of available-for-sale investments for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021 were nil, nil and nil, respectively. Investment in limited partnerships Where consolidation is not appropriate, the Group applies the equity method of accounting that is consistent with ASC 323 “Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures” to limited partnerships in which the Group holds either (a) a five percent or greater interest or (b) less than a five percent interest when the Group has more than virtually no influence over the operating or financial policies of the limited partnership. The Group considers certain qualitative factors in assessing whether it has more than virtually no influence for partnership interests of less than five percent. For investments other than those described in (a) and (b) above, the Group applies the cost method of accounting. Cost method investment Prior to adopting ASC Topic 321 (“ASC 321”), Investments – Equity Securities, on January 1, 2018, the Group carries at cost its investments in investees that do not have readily determinable values or investments and over which the Group does not have significant influence, in accordance with ASC subtopic 325-20 (“ASC 325-20”), Investments-Other: Cost Method Investments. The Group carries the investment at cost and only adjusts for other-than-temporary declines in fair value and distributions of earnings that exceed the Group's share of earnings since its investment. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (o) Investments (continued) Management regularly evaluates the impairment of equity investments without readily determinable fair value based on the performance and financial position of the investee as well as other evidence of market value. Such evaluation includes, but is not limited to, reviewing the investee’s cash position, recent financing, projected and historical financial performance, cash flow forecasts and financing needs. An impairment loss is recognized in earnings equal to the excess of the investment’s cost over its fair value at the balance sheet date of the reporting period for which the assessment is made. The fair value would then become the new cost basis of investment. Impairment of cost method investment for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021 were nil, nil and nil, respectively. The Group adopted ASC 321 on January 1, 2018 and the cumulative effect of adopting the new standard on opening accumulated deficit is nil. Pursuant to ASC 321, equity investments, except for those accounted for under the equity method and those that result in consolidation of the investee and certain other investments, are measured at fair value, and any changes in fair value are recognized in earnings. For equity securities without readily determinable fair value and do not qualify for the existing practical expedient in ASC Topic 820 (“ASC 820”), Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, to estimate fair value using the net asset value per share (or its equivalent) of the investment, the Group elected to use the measurement alternative to measure those investments at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer, if any. Equity securities with readily determinable fair value are measured at fair values, and any changes in fair value are recognized in earnings. Pursuant to ASC 321, for equity investments measured at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings, the Group does not assess whether those securities are impaired. For those equity investments that the Group elects to use the measurement alternative, the Group makes a qualitative assessment of whether the investment is impaired at each reporting date. If a qualitative assessment indicates that the investment is impaired, the entity has to estimate the investment’s fair value in accordance with the principles of ASC 820. If the fair value is less than the investment’s carrying value, the entity has to recognize an impairment loss in net income equal to the difference between the carrying value and fair value. |
Fair value of financial instruments | (p) Fair value of financial instruments The carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, other receivables included in prepaid expenses and other current assets, short-term investments, short term borrowings, accounts payables, accrued expenses, balances with related parties and other payables, approximate their fair values because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. The carrying amounts of long-term borrowings approximates its fair value since it bears interest rate which approximates market interest rates. Available-for-sale investments were initially recognized at cost and subsequently remeasured at the end of each reporting period with the adjustment in its fair value recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income. The Group, with the assistance of an independent third-party valuation firm, determined the estimated fair value of its available-for-sale investments that are recognized in the consolidated financial statements. |
Revenue recognition | (q) Revenue recognition The Group provides a portfolio of content and application delivery total solutions within its one class of services, such as, web page content services; file transfer services; rich media streaming services; guaranteed application delivery; managed internet data services; cloud hosting services; content bridging services; mobile internet solution; and value-added services to its customers that in turn improve the performance, reliability and scalability of their internet services and applications. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (q) Revenue recognition (continued) On January 1, 2018, the Group adopted ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, (“ASC 606”), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, (“ASC 605”), using the modified retrospective transition method applied to those contracts which were not completed as of January 1, 2018. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under ASC 606, while prior period amounts have not been adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with historic accounting under ASC 605. The impact of adopting the new revenue standard was not material to the consolidated financial statements and there was no adjustment to beginning retained earnings on January 1, 2018. Under ASC 606, an entity recognizes revenue as the Group satisfies a performance obligation when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that an entity determines are within the scope of ASC 606, the entity performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price, including variable consideration, if any; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Group only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration to which it is entitled in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. Once a contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606 at contract inception, the Group reviews the contract to determine which performance obligations it must deliver and which of these performance obligations are distinct. The Group recognizes revenue based on the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to each performance obligation when that performance obligation is satisfied or as it is satisfied. The Group is a principal and records revenue on a gross basis when the Group is primarily responsible for fulfilling the service, has discretion in establish pricing and controls the promised service before transferring that service to customers. Otherwise, the Group records revenue at the net amounts as commissions. The Group generates revenue from CDN, IDC and IX services under ASC Topic 606: CDN Services CDN is a content distribution network built on the network. Relying on the edge servers deployed in various regions, through load balancing, content distribution, scheduling and other functional modules of the central platform, CDN enables users to obtain the required content nearby, reduces network congestion, and improves user access response speed and hit rate. For revenue stream of CDN, the promised service is to provide CDN service to the customer, which is qualified as a single distinct performance obligation. The unit price is fixed when contract entered with customers. CDN services are typically provided to customers over the contract service period and the related revenues are recognized based on actual usage over the term of the contract after the reconciliation with customers completed. The Group is a principal and records revenue for CDN service on a gross basis. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (q) Revenue recognition (continued) IDC Services IDC services provide cabinet rental and bandwidth service to customer. The Group provides two promised services, cabinet rental and bandwidth service. The promise services are not distinct within the context of the contract as the goal of IDC is to combine traditional internet data center and content delivery. The reason why the customers rent the Group’s cabinet is not only to benefit from the Group’s physical hosting location and maintenance service, but also to enjoy the bandwidth service provided by the Group. It is cost efficient to consume the Group’s bandwidth service rather than to connect directly to bandwidth service provider such as China Unicom or China Mobile. Thus, these two promise services within the contract of IDC service-cabinet rental and bandwidth service are not distinct and shall be identified as one performance obligation. Typically, IDC services are provided to customers for a fixed unit price over the contract service period and the related revenues are recognized based on actual usage and unit price over the term of the contract after the reconciliation with customers completed. The Group is a principal and records revenue for IDC service on a gross basis. IX Services IX Services allow networks to interconnect directly, via the exchange, rather than through one or more third-party networks. The primary advantages of direct interconnection are cost, latency, and bandwidth. Same as IDC, there are two promised services within the contract, one is to provide a port usage and the other is to provide bandwidth. However, the service is not distinct within context of the contract as the services provided is highly integrated. Thus, only one performance obligation is identified for IX revenue stream. The unit price is fixed when contract entered with customers. IX services are provided to customers over the contract service period and the related revenues are recognized based on actual usage and unit price over the term of the contract after the reconciliation with customers completed. The Group is a principal and records revenue for IX service on a gross basis. 6% of value-added tax, or VAT are applied on all services provided by the Group’s PRC subsidiaries and VIEs and VIEs’ subsidiaries. Disaggregation of revenues The following table illustrates the disaggregation of revenue by revenue stream for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021.

Cost of revenues | 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (r) Cost of revenues Cost of revenue consists primarily of depreciation of the Group's long-lived assets, amortization of acquired intangible assets, maintenance, purchase of bandwidth and other overhead expenses directly attributable to the provision of content and application delivery total solutions. All the services provided by the Group in the PRC, including VIEs are subject to VAT. Such VAT (to the extent that is non-deductible) and other surcharges are accrued and charged to cost of revenues as the related exclusive business support, technical and consulting services are rendered. |
Advertising expenditures | (s) Advertising expenditures Advertising expenditures are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenditures, included in sales and marketing expenses, amounted to approximately nil, nil and nil for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2020 and 2021, respectively. |
Research and development costs | (t) Research and development costs Research and development costs consist primarily of payroll and related personnel costs for minor routine upgrades and related enhancements to the Group's services and network. Costs incurred in the development of the Group's services are expensed as incurred. To date, the amount of costs qualifying for capitalization has been insignificant. |
Government grant | (u) Government grant Government grant are provided by the relevant PRC municipal government authorities to subsidize the cost of certain research and development projects. The amount of such government grant is determined solely at the discretion of the relevant government authorities and there is no assurance that the Group will continue to receive these government grant in the future. Government grant are recognized when it is probable that the Group will comply with the conditions attached to them, and the grant are received. When the grant relates to an expense item, it is recognized as deferred government grant and released to the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss over the period necessary to match the grant on a systematic basis to the costs that it is intended to compensate, as other operating income. Where the grant relates to an asset, it is recognized as deferred government grant and released to the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss in equal amounts over the expected useful life of the related asset, when operational, as other operating income. Government grant received by the Group also consist of unrestricted grant which are received on an unsolicited and unconditional basis to support the growth of the Group and do not relate to the Group's operating activities. Unrestricted grant is classified as non-operating income and recorded in other income on the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss upon receipt. |
Leases | (v) Leases Leases are classified at the inception date as either a finance lease or an operating lease. The Group did not enter into any leases whereby it is the lessor for any of the periods presented. The Group leases equipment under finance lease agreements. As the lessee, a lease is a finance lease if any of the following conditions exists: a) ownership is transferred to the lessee by the end of the lease term, b) there is a bargain purchase option, c) the lease term is for the major part of the equipment’s estimated remaining economic life, or d) the present value of the sum of the lease payments and any residual value guaranteed that is not already reflected in the lease payments equals or exceeds substantially all of the fair value of equipment, d) the equipment is of such specialized nature that is expected to have no alternative use to the lessor at the end of lease term. A lease involving integral equipment is a finance lease only if condition (a) or (b) exists. A finance lease is accounted for as if there was an acquisition of an asset and an incurrence of an obligation at the inception of the lease. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (v) Leases (continued) The Group has certain operating leases for offices and IDC buildings 3# with equipment in it. Some leases include one or more options to renew, which is typically at the Group's sole discretion. The majority of renewals to extend the lease terms are not included in our right of use assets and lease liabilities as they are not reasonably certain of exercise. The Group regularly evaluates the renewal options, and, when it is reasonably certain of exercise, it will include the renewal period in its lease term. New lease modifications result in remeasurement of the right of use asset and lease liability. The Group’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. In February 2016, the FASB issued a new standard related to leases to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring the recognition of operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet. Most prominent among the changes in the standard is the recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases. Under the standard, disclosures are required to meet the objective of enabling users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The Group is also required to recognize and measure new leases at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment in the period of adoption using a modified retrospective approach, with certain practical expedients available. On January 1, 2019, the Group adopted the new lease accounting standard using a modified retrospective transition method which allowed the Group not to recast comparative periods presented in its consolidated financial statements. Adoption of this standard resulted in the recording of operating lease ROU assets and corresponding operating lease liabilities and had no impact on accumulated deficit as of January 1, 2019. It had an impact on the Group’s consolidated balance sheets, by initial recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities of RMB166,124,000 (US$23,862,000) and RMB164,358,000 (US$23,608,000), respectively, for operating leases, while the Group’s accounting for finance leases remained substantially unchanged. The adoption of ASC 842 did not have a material impact on the Group’s results of operations or cash flows in the current year and prior year comparative periods and as a result, a cumulative-effect adjustment was not required. ROU assets and related lease obligations are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of remaining lease payments over the lease term, using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group’s incremental borrowing rate for the same term as the underlying lease. |
Income taxes | (w) Income taxes The Group follows the liability method in accounting for income taxes in accordance to ASC topic 740 "Taxation" (“ASC 740”), Income Taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be in effect in the period in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Group records a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Group adopted ASC 740 to account for uncertainty in income taxes. ASC 740 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by prescribing the recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the consolidated financial statements. The Group has elected to classify interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, if and when required, as part of “interest expense” and “other expenses,” respectively, in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. |
Share-based compensation | (x) Share-based compensation Share options and restricted share units award granted to employees are accounted for under ASC 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation The Company has elected to recognize compensation expenses using the accelerated method for its share options and restricted share units granted. For restricted share awards granted with performance conditions, the Company commences recognition of the related compensation expense if it is probable the defined performance condition will be met. To the extent that the Company determines that it is probable that a different number of share-based awards will vest depending on the outcome of the performance condition, the cumulative effect of the change in estimate is recognized in the period of change. Forfeitures are recognized when they occur. The Company, with the assistance of an independent valuation firm, determined the estimated fair values of the share options granted to employees and non-employees using the binomial option pricing model. On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2017-09” Compensation - Stock Compensation: Scope of Modification Accounting”, |
Loss per share | (y) L oss per share In accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share” |
Comprehensive income/(loss) | (z) Comprehensive income/(loss) Comprehensive income/(loss) is defined as the increase/(decrease) in equity of the Group during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances excluding transactions resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Comprehensive income/(loss) is reported in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Accumulated other comprehensive loss of the Group includes foreign currency translation adjustments related to ChinaCache US, ChinaCache HK, ShenRong HK and ChinaCache UK whose functional currency are US$, HK$, HK$ and GBP respectively, and the change in fair value of available-for-sale investments and their corresponding deferred tax impact, if any. |
