( iii ) The Company acquired 40% equity interest of Anhui Myhayo and Shanghai Myhayo in November 2018 (Note 4(a)). In August 2019 and August 2020, there were contribution from non-controlling interests of US$2,905 to Anhui Myhayo and US$73 to Shanghai Myhayo, respectively, whereby the Company's (i) equity interest in Anhui Myhayo was diluted to 36.8% in August 2019 and (ii) equity interest in Shanghai Myhayo was diluted to 36.8% in August 2020. These transactions did not result in a loss of the Company’s control over Anhui Myhayo and Shanghai Myhayo and were accounted for as transactions with non-controlling interests, resulting in an increase in equity by US$2,905 and US$73 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020, respectively. ( iv ) The Company acquired 34.38% equity interest of Changyi, which held 100% equity interest of Suzhou Changyi, Xian Changyi, Shanghai Changyu and Anhui Changyi, in January 2019 (Note 4(b)). During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020, the Company has further completed the following transactions in relation to Changyi. - In May 2019, the Company injected a total cash of RMB15 million (equivalent to US$2,217) to Changyi as paid-up capital, upon which the Company's equity interest in Changyi increased to 41.46%. - In September 2020, the Company further injected a total cash of RMB65 million (equivalent to US$9,477) to Changyi as paid-up capital, resulting in a transfer of non-controlling interests of US$1,716 to additional paid-in capital for the year ended December 31, 2020. The Company’s equity interest in Changyi increased further to 52.62%. - In December 2020, the Company acquired 7.22% equity interest of Changyi from non-controlling interests using 313, 011 Class A ordinary shares of the Company with a fair market value of US$4,176, resulting in a transfer of non-controlling interests of US$1,658 to additional paid-in capital for the year ended December 31, 2020. The Company’s equity interests in Changyi increased further to 59.84%. These transactions did not change the Company’s control over Changyi and were accounted for as transactions with non-controlling interests. ( v ) The Company acquired 80% equity interest of Optimal in May 2020 (Note 4(d)). In December 2020, the Company acquired the remaining 20% equity interest of Optimal from the non-controlling interest shareholder at a cash consideration of US$7,003, whereby the Company’s equity interests in Optimal increased to 100%. This was accounted for as a transaction with non-controlling interests with an increase in additional paid-in capital of US$1,137 and a reduction in non-controlling interests of US$8,140 for the year ended December 31, 2020. 1 Organization and principal activities (Continued) (b) Consolidated VIE and VIE’s subsidiaries When the Company acquired OptAim WFOE in July 2015, OptAim WFOE is considered as a foreign invested enterprise and any foreign ownership in advertising business was subject to certain restrictions under the PRC laws and regulations at that time. To comply with the then-effective PRC laws and regulations, certain of the Group’s operations are conducted through Beijing OptAim and its subsidiaries Shanghai OptAim, Shanghai Myhayo and Anhui Myhayo (together, “OptAim VIE”). OptAim WFOE, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, or a wholly foreign owned enterprise (“WFOE”) of the Company, entered into a series of contractual agreements among Beijing OptAim and Beijing OptAim’s legal shareholders. OptAim VIE The Company’s relationships with Beijing OptAim and its shareholders are governed by the following contractual arrangements: • Cooperative Agreement Under the cooperative agreement between OptAim WFOE, Beijing OptAim and Shanghai OptAim, OptAim WFOE has the exclusive right to provide to Beijing OptAim and Shanghai OptAim, among others, technical consulting, technical support, business consulting, and appointment and dismissal of employees. OptAim WFOE will collect a fee from Beijing OptAim and Shanghai OptAim to be determined at the sole discretion of OptAim WFOE. The term of this agreement will not expire unless OptAim WFOE provides prior written notice to Beijing OptAim and Shanghai OptAim. • Purchase Option Agreement The parties to the purchase option agreement are OptAim WFOE, Beijing OptAim and each of the shareholders of Beijing OptAim. Under the purchase option agreement, each of the shareholders of Beijing OptAim irrevocably granted OptAim WFOE or its designated representative(s) an exclusive option to purchase, to the extent permitted under PRC law, all or part of its equity interests in Beijing OptAim. OptAim WFOE or its designated representative(s) have sole discretion as to when to exercise such options, either in part or in full. Without OptAim WFOE’s prior written consent, Beijing OptAim’s shareholders shall not sell, transfer, mortgage or otherwise dispose their equity interests in Beijing OptAim. The agreement will not expire until all shares of Beijing OptAim are transferred to OptAim WFOE or its designated representative(s). • Power of Attorney Pursuant to the irrevocable power of attorney executed by the shareholders of Beijing OptAim, Beijing OptAim appointed OptAim WFOE as its attorney-in-fact to exercise all shareholders’ rights in Beijing OptAim, including, without limitation, the power to vote on all matters of Beijing OptAim requiring shareholder approval under PRC laws and regulations and the articles of association of Beijing OptAim. The power of attorney will remain in force until OptAim WFOE provides prior written notice to Beijing OptAim. • Pledge Agreement Pursuant to the pledge agreement between OptAim WFOE and the shareholders of Beijing OptAim, the shareholders of Beijing OptAim have pledged all of their equity interests in Beijing OptAim to OptAim WFOE to guarantee the performance by Beijing OptAim under the cooperative agreement, purchase option agreement, and powers of attorney. If Beijing OptAim and/or its shareholders breach their contractual obligations under those agreements, OptAim WFOE, as pledgee, will be entitled to certain rights, including the right to sell the pledged equity interests. Under the pledge agreement, the shareholders of Beijing OptAim are not able to provide any other guarantee by pledging the shares of Beijing OptAim, transfer or sell their pledged shares to other individual, change share capital of Beijing OptAim or transfer or sell the assets out of Beijing OptAim. 1 Organization and principal activities (Continued) (b) Consolidated VIE and VIE’s subsidiaries (Continued) • Pledge Agreement (Continued) The shareholders of Beijing OptAim have completed the registration of the equity pledge with the relevant office of the Administration for Industry and Commerce in accordance with the PRC Property Rights Law on June 21, 2017. Through the aforementioned contractual agreements, OptAim VIE is considered VIE in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“US GAAP”) because the Company, through OptAim WFOE, has the ability to: • exercise effective control over OptAim VIE whereby having the power to direct OptAim VIE’s activities that most significantly drive the economic results of OptAim VIE; • receive substantially all of the economic benefits and residual returns, and absorb substantially all the risks and expected losses from the OptAim VIE as if it was their sole shareholder; and • have an exclusive option to purchase all of the equity interests in OptAim VIE. Management evaluated the relationships among the Company, OptAim WFOE and OptAim VIE, and concluded that OptAim WFOE is the primary beneficiary of OptAim VIE. As a result, OptAim VIE’s results of operations, assets and liabilities have been included in the Group’s consolidated financial statements. As of December 31, 2019 and 2020, the total assets of OptAim VIE were US$9,733 and US$7,346, respectively, mainly comprising cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, property and equipment, intangible assets, right-of-use assets and other assets. As of December 31, 2019 and 2020, the total liabilities of the OptAim VIE were US$2,993 and US$4,104 respectively, mainly comprising accounts payable, deferred revenue, lease liabilities, bank borrowings, income tax payable, accrued liabilities and other current liabilities, and deferred tax liabilities. In accordance with the aforementioned agreements, the Company has the power to direct activities of the OptAim VIE, and can have assets transferred out of OptAim VIE. Therefore the Company considers that there is no asset in OptAim VIE that can be used only to settle obligations of the OptAim VIE, except for registered capital and PRC statutory reserves of OptAim VIE amounting to US$2,081 and US$2,081, respectively, as of December 31, 2019 and 2020. As Beijing OptAim and its subsidiaries were incorporated as limited liability companies under the PRC Company Law, the creditors do not have recourse to the general credit of the Company for all the liabilities of the OptAim VIE. Currently there is no contractual arrangement that could require the Company to provide additional financial support to OptAim VIE. As the Company is conducting its PRC online marketing services business through OptAim VIE, the Company will, if needed, provide such support on a discretion basis in the future, which could expose the Company to a loss. There is no VIE where the Company has variable interest but is not the primary beneficiary. The Company believes that the contractual arrangements among its shareholders and OptAim WFOE are in compliance with PRC law and are legally enforceable. However, uncertainties in the PRC legal system could limit the Company’s ability to enforce these contractual arrangements and if the shareholders of OptAim VIE were to reduce their interest in the Company, their interests may diverge from that of the Company and that may potentially increase the risk that they would seek to act contrary to the contractual terms. The Company’s ability to control the OptAim VIE also depends on the power of attorney and the effect of the share pledge under the Pledge Agreement and OptAim WFOE has to vote on all matters requiring shareholder approval in OptAim VIE. As noted above, the Company believes this power of attorney is legally enforceable but may not be as effective as direct equity ownership. 1 Organization and principal activities (Continued) (c) Share offerings in 2020 ( i ) Private investment in public equity offering (“PIPE”) The Company completed a PIPE offering on June 22, 2020 and issued a total of 2,107,400 Class A ordinary shares.

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Principal accounting policies | 2 Principal accounting policies (a) Basis of presentation The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the US GAAP. Significant accounting policies followed by the Company in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements are summarized below. (b) Use of estimates The preparation of the Group’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from such estimates. The Group believes that revenue recognition, rebates, consolidation of VIE, determination of share-based compensation, measurement of and convertible notes and derivative liability, impairment assessment of long-lived assets and intangible assets, and fair value determination related to the accounting for business combinations reflect more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements. Management bases the estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions as discussed elsewhere to the consolidated financial statements that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates. 2 Principal accounting policies (Continued) (c) Consolidation The Group’s consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, its subsidiaries, its VIEs and a VIE’s subsidiaries for which the Company or its subsidiary is the primary beneficiary. All transactions and balances among the Company, its subsidiaries, its VIEs and a VIE’s subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation. A subsidiary is an entity in which the Company, directly or indirectly, controls more than one half of the voting powers; or has the power to appoint or remove the majority of the members of the board of directors; or to cast a majority of votes at the meeting of directors; or has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the investee under a statute or agreement among the shareholders or equity holders. A VIE is an entity in which the Company, or its subsidiary, through contractual agreements, bears the risks of, and enjoys the rewards normally associated with ownership of the entity. In determining whether the Company or its subsidiaries are the primary beneficiary, the Company considered whether it has the power to direct activities that are significant to the VIE’s economic performance, and also the Group’s obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. OptAim WFOE and ultimately the Company hold all the variable interests of the VIE and its subsidiaries, and has been determined to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE. Non-controlling interests are recognized to reflect the portion of their equity that is not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Company as the controlling shareholder. Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss, statement of changes in equity and balance sheet, respectively. (d) Foreign currency translation The reporting currency of the Company is the United States dollars (“US$”). The Company is a holding company engaged in capital raising and financing activities denominated in US$. As such, the Company’s functional currency has been determined to be the US$. The functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries is the local currency of the country in which they are domiciled. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the rates of exchange existing at the balance sheet date. Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency during the year are converted into the functional currency at the applicable rates of exchange prevailing at the transaction date. Transaction gains and losses are recognized in “other gains, net”. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rates at the balance sheet date. Equity accounts are translated at historical exchange rates and revenues, expenses, gains and losses are translated using the average rate for the year. Translation adjustments are reported as cumulative translation adjustments and are shown as a separate component of other comprehensive loss in the consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity and comprehensive loss. 2 Principal accounting policies (Continued) (e) Fair value of financial instruments Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. When available, the Company uses quoted market prices to determine the fair value of an asset or liability. If quoted market prices are not available, the Group will measure fair value using valuation techniques that use, when possible, current market-based or independently sourced market parameters, such as interest rates and currency rates. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Fair value measurements are based on a fair value hierarchy, based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value which are the following: Level 1 — Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted market prices for similar assets and liabilities; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. Level 3 — Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Observable inputs are based on market data obtained from independent sources. The Company’s contingent consideration (Note 4 (e)), derivative liabilities and convertible notes (Note 18) are measured using unobservable inputs that require a high level of judgment to determine fair value, and thus classified as Level 3 (Note 3(c)). The Company values its investments in wealth management products issued by banks and pledged deposits placed with a financial institution classified as short-term investments in the consolidated balance sheets (Note 2(k)) using quoted subscription or redemption prices published by the banks and financial institution. Accordingly, the Company classifies the valuation techniques that use these inputs as Level 2. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, time deposits, restricted cash, accounts receivable, amount due from an equity investee, rebates receivable, accounts payable, other financial assets and liabilities approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Group for debt with similar terms, the carrying amounts of the short-term bank borrowings approximate their fair values (using Level 2 inputs). The Group values its listed equity securities using quoted prices for the underlying securities in active markets. Accordingly, the Group classifies the valuation techniques that use these inputs as Level 1. The Group measures an equity investment accounted for using the equity method at fair value on a non-recurring basis only if an impairment charge were to be recognized. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020, no impairments were recorded on the asset required to be measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. 2 Principal accounting policies (Continued) (e) Fair value of financial instruments (Continued) Equity investments accounted for using the net asset value per share as a practical expedient (Note 2(j)) and measurement alternative (Note 2(m)) are generally not categorized in the fair value hierarchy. However, if equity investments without readily determinable fair values accounted for using the measurement alternative were re-measured during the year, they would be classified within Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy because the Group estimated the value of the investments based on valuation methods using the observable transaction price at the transaction date and other unobservable inputs. The Group adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”), which eliminates, adds and modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements, on January 1, 2020. ASU 2018-13 removed the following disclosure requirements: (i) the amount of, and reasons for, transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy; (ii) the policy for timing of transfers between levels; and (iii) the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. This ASU added the following disclosure requirements: (i) the changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income (“OCI”) for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period; and (ii) the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. The Group has considered the guidance in its disclosures on reconciliation of the changes in level 3 instruments under the fair value hierarchy for the years ended December 2019 and 2020. See Note 3(c) for additional information. (f) Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash in bank and time deposits placed with banks or other financial institutions, which have original maturities of three months or less and are readily convertible to known amounts of cash. Restricted cash represented bank deposits in accounts that are restricted as to withdrawal or usage. For restriction which is expected to be released within one year of the balance sheet date, the respective restricted cash balance is classified as current. As of December 31, 2019 and 2020, the Group’s restricted cash mainly represents balance held in restricted bank accounts as required by certain loan agreements and escrow amount deposited for a business acquisition. In November 2016, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statements of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash, which requires companies to include amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in cash and cash equivalents when reconciling beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts presented in the statement of cash flows. The Group has adopted this new guidance on January 1, 2018, using the retrospective transition method. Following the adoption of this guidance in 2018: • Amounts generally described as restricted cash were presented with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the consolidated statements of cash flows. • No impact to the consolidated statements of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2018 as there was no restricted cash during the year. • The Group also added a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash to the consolidated statements of cash flows. 2 Principal accounting policies (Continued) (g) Time deposits Time deposits represent demand deposits placed with banks with original maturities of more than three months but less than one year. Interest income is recognized using the effective interest method in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss during the periods. Time deposits are valued based on the prevailing interest rates in the market. (h) Accounts receivable are presented net of allowance for credit losses. The Group evaluates its accounts receivable for expected credit losses on a regular basis. The Group maintains an estimated allowance for credit losses which reflects its best estimate of amounts that potentially will not be collected. The Group uses various credit quality indicators including but not limited to historical collection experience and credit-worthiness of the customers as well as the age of the receivables balance to monitor the Group’s receivables within the scope of expected credit losses model and use these as a basis to develop the Group’s expected loss estimates. Additionally, the Group makes specific allowance in the period based on any specific knowledge the Group has acquired that might indicate that an individual account is uncollectible. The facts and circumstances of each account may require the Group to use substantial judgment in assessing its collectability. See Note 2(j) for current expected credit losses upon adoption of ASC 326. (i) Rebates receivable Rebates receivable represent sales rebates that have already been earned but not received from third party publishers. The Group earns its rebates from purchasing advertising spaces from these website publishers. ( j ) Current expected credit losses upon adoption of ASC 326 In 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASC 326”), which amends previously issued guidance regarding the impairment of financial instruments by creating an impairment model that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Subsequently, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, to clarify that receivables arising from operating leases are within the scope of lease accounting standards. Further, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-04, ASU No. 2019-05, ASU 2019-10, ASU 2019-11, ASU 2020-02 and ASU 2020-03 to provide additional guidance on the credit losses standard. The Group adopted ASC 326 and several associated ASUs on January 1, 2020 using a modified retrospective approach, resulting in a net adjustment of US$3,972 to the opening balance of accumulated losses with a corresponding credit loss provision over accounts receivable being recognized in the consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2020. As of December 31, 2020, the credit loss provision for accounts receivable being recognized in consolidated balance sheet amounted to US$11,749. 2 Principal accounting policies (Continued) (j) Current expected credit losses upon adoption of ASC 326 (Continued) The Group’s accounts receivable, amount due from an equity investee, rebates receivable and other current assets are within the scope of ASC Topic 326. The Group has identified the relevant risk characteristics of its customers and the related receivables and other current assets which include size, type of the services the Group provides, or a combination of these characteristics. Receivables with similar risk characteristics have been grouped into pools for collective evaluation. Receivables that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. Receivables evaluated individually are not included in the collective evaluation. For each pool for collective evaluation, the Group considers the historical credit loss experience, current economic conditions, supportable forecasts of future economic conditions, and any recoveries in assessing the lifetime expected credit losses. Other key factors that influence the expected credit loss analysis include customer demographics, payment terms offered in the normal course of business to customers, and industry-specific factors that could impact the Group’s receivables. Additionally, external data and macroeconomic factors are also considered. This is assessed at each quarter based on the Group’s specific facts and circumstances. The following table presents the movement in the allowance for credit losses for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020. For the years ended December 31, 2018 2019 2020 Balance at the beginning of year prior to ASC Topic 326 1,478 1,507 3,469 Adoption of ASC Topic 326 - - 3,972 Balance at the beginning of year 1,478 1,507 7,441 Provision for the year 92 1,995 6,587 Accounts receivable written off (15 ) - (2,621 ) Exchange differences (48 ) (33 ) 342 Balance at the end of year 1,507 3,469 11,749 (k) Short-term investments Short-term investments represent the Group’s investments in listed equity securities, fund investments, wealth management products, and pledged deposits. (i) Fund investments Fund investments over which the Group does not have the ability to exercise significant influence, are required to be measured at fair value under ASC 321 “Investments—Equity Securities” (“ASC 321”). The Group has adopted the practical expedient in ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”) to estimate fair value using the net asset value per share (or its equivalent) of these investments which were without readily determinable fair value. Fund investments included in the consolidated balance sheet as short-term investments as of December 31, 2020 amounted to US$11,097 and the change in fair value recorded in consolidated statement of comprehensive loss under “other gains, net” for the year ended December 31, 2020 amounted to US$187. There were no fund investments as of December 31, 2019 and no change in fair values for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2019. 2 Principal accounting policies (Continued) (k) Short-term investments (Continued) (ii) Listed equity securities Investments in listed equity securities are reported at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets and the unrealized gains and losses are recorded in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss under ASU 2016-01. Listed equity securities recorded in the consolidated balance sheet as short-term investments as of December 31, 2020 amounted to US$2,342 and the change in fair value recorded in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss under “other gains, net” for the year ended December 31, 2020 amounted to US$1,157. There were no listed equity securities as of December 31, 2019 and no change in fair values for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2019. (iii) Wealth management products Wealth management products are issued by banks in the PRC which are redeemable by the Group at any time. They are unsecured with variable interest rates and primarily invested in debt securities issued by the PRC government, corporate debt securities and central bank bills. The Group measures these investments at fair value using the quoted subscription or redemption prices published by the bank. Wealth management products recorded in the consolidated balance sheet as short-term investments as of December 31, 2020 amounted to US$700 (2019: US$Nil) and the change in fair values recorded in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss under “other gains, net” amounted to US$25, US$107 and US$52 for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020, respectively. (iv) Pledged deposits Investments in pledged deposits are placed with a financial institution in Hong Kong which are redeemable by the Group at any time with 1-day notice, secured by certain listed equity securities and interest bearing at a fixed rate of 0.2% per annum. The Group measures these investments at fair value using the quoted subscription or redemption prices published by the financial institution. Pledged deposits recorded in the consolidated balance sheet as short-term investments as of December 31, 2020 amounted to US$9,581 and the change in fair values recorded in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss under “other gains, net” for the year ended December 31, 2020 amounted to US$8. There were no pledged deposits as of December 31, 2019 and no change in fair values for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2019. (l) Investment in an equity investee Investment in an equity investee represents the Group's investment in a privately held company. The Group applies the equity method to account for an equity investment in common stock or in-substance common stock, according to ASC 323 “Investment — Equity Method and Joint Ventures,” over which it has significant influence but does not own a majority equity interest or otherwise control. Under the equity method, the Group initially records the investments at cost and the difference between the cost of the equity investee and the fair value of the underlying net assets of the equity investee is recognized as equity method goodwill and intangible assets acquired, which is included in the equity method investments on the consolidated balance sheets. The Group subsequently adjusts the carrying amount of the investments to recognize its (i) proportionate share of each equity investee’s post-acquisition net income or loss into earnings, (ii) share of post-acquisition movements in accumulated other comprehensive income into other comprehensive income, and (iii) cash distributions from investees, after the date of investment. When the Group's share of loss in the equity investee equals or exceeds its interest in the equity investee, the Group does not recognize further loss, unless the Group has incurred obligations or made payments or guarantees on behalf of the equity investee. The Group evaluates its equity method investment for impairment under ASC 323-10. An impairment loss on the equity method investment is recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss when the decline in value is determined to be other-than-temporary. No impairment loss has been recorded during the years ended December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020. 2 Principal accounting policies (Continued) (m) Other long-term investments The Group’s other long-term investments as of December 31, 2019 and 2020 consist of equity securities without readily determinable fair value. The Group adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 321 “Investments—Equity Securities” on January 1, 2018 and is required to measure its equity investments at fair value and any changes in fair value are recognized in earnings. For equity securities without readily determinable fair value and does not qualify for the existing practical expedient in ASC 820 to estimate fair value using the net asset value per share (or its equivalent) of the investments, the Group elected to use the measurement alternative to measure its equity 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. ( n ) Property and equipment, net Property and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment loss, if any. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives are as follows: Leasehold improvements Over the shorter of lease term or 2 – 5 years Furniture and fixtures 2 – 5 years Office equipment 3 – 5 years Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. The gain or loss on the disposal of property and equipment is the difference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the relevant assets and is recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss. 2 Principal accounting policies (Continued) ( o ) Acquisitions (i ) The Group accounts for acquisitions of entities that include inputs and processes and have the ability to create outputs as business combinations. The Group accounts for its business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805 “Business Combinations” (“ASC 805”). The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the fair values at the date of exchange of the assets given, liabilities incurred, and equity instruments issued. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets and liabilities acquired or assumed are measured separately at their fair values as of the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any non-controlling interests. The excess of (i) the total costs of acquisition, fair value of the non-controlling interests and acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest in the acquiree over (ii) the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the acquiree is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized directly in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss as gain on bargain purchase. During the measurement period, which can be up to one year from the acquisition date, the Group may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the values of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss. (ii) Assets acquisition ASC 805-10-55-5A, which sets forth a screen test, provides that if substantially all of the fair value of the assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets, the assets acquired are not considered to be a business. The acquisition should be accounted for by the Company as an asset acquisition in accordance with ASC 805-50, rather than as a business combination. Under an asset acquisition, the cost to acquire the group of assets is allocated to the individual assets acquired or liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values. ( p ) Intangible assets, net Intangible assets mainly consist of computer software licenses purchased from external parties and computer software and systems, developed technologies, customer relationship, brand name, contract backlog and advertising contract acquired through the acquisitions of subsidiaries. Identifiable intangible assets are carried at acquisition cost less accumulated amortization and impairment loss, if any. Amortization of finite lived intangible assets is computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives, which are as follows: Computer software and systems 2 – 5 years Developed technologies 5 years Customer relationship 4 – 5 years Brand name 4 years Contract backlog 3 years Advertising contract 30 years 2 Principal accounting policies (Continued) ( q ) Impairment of goodwill The Group adopted ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment on January 1, 2020, and in accordance with the FASB, a company first has the option to assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. In the qualitative assessment, the Company considers primary factors such as industry and market considerations, overall financial performance of the reporting unit, and other specific information related to the operations, business plans and strategies of the reporting unit, including consideration of the impact of the COVID-19. If the Company decides, as a result of its qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the quantitative impairment test is mandatory. Otherwise, no further testing is required. The quantitative impairment test consists of a comparison of the fair value of each reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the carrying amount of each reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss equal to the difference will be recorded. Application of a goodwill impairment test requires significant management judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assigning assets and liabilities to reporting units, assigning goodwill to reporting units, and determining the fair value of each reporting unit. The judgment in estimating the fair value of reporting units includes estimating future cash flows, determining appropriate discount rates and making other assumptions. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value for each reporting unit. The Group performs goodwill impairment testing at the reporting unit level on December 31 annually. No impairment of goodwill was recognized for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020. (r) Impairment of other long-lived assets and intangible assets For other long-lived assets including property and equipment and amortizable intangible assets, the Group evaluates for impairment whenever events or changes (triggering events) indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may no longer be recoverable. The Group assesses the recoverability of the long-lived assets by comparing the carrying value of the long-lived assets to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to receive from use of the assets and their eventual disposition. Such assets are considered to be impaired if the sum of the expected undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the assets. The impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. 2 Principal accounting policies (Continued) (s) Lease accounting On January 1, 2019, the Group adopted ASC 842, which requires the recognition of the right-of-use assets (“ROU assets”), and related lease liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets using a modified retrospective approach. The consolidated financial statements related to periods prior to January 1, 2019 were not restated, and continue to be reported under ASC Topic 840—Leases ("ASC 840"), which did not require the recognition of operating lease liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. As a result the consolidated financial statements related to periods prior to January 1, 2019 are not entirely comparative with current and future periods. As permitted under ASC 842, the Group elected several practical expedients that permit the Group to not reassess (1) whether existing contracts are or contain a lease, (2) the classification of existing leases, and (3) whether previously capitalized costs continue to qualify as initial indirect costs. In addition, the Group has elected not to recognize short-term leases on the consolidated balance sheets. In addition, the Group did not use hindsight to determine lease term. For the identified leases, the Group used its incremental borrowing rate to discount the related future payment obligations as of January 1, 2019 to determine its lease liability as of the adoption date. As of the adoption date on January 1, 2019, the Group recognized lease liabilities of US$2,634 and corresponding ROU assets of US$2,634, with no equity impact from the adoption. The Group records rent expense for operating leases, including leases of office premises, on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Group begins recognition of rent expense on the commencement date, which is generally the date that the asset is made available for use. The lease liability is included in lease liabilities, current and lease liabilities, non-current within the consolidated balance sheets, which are reduced as lease related payments are made. The ROU asset is amortized on a periodic basis over the expected term of the lease. See Note 14 for additional information. (t) Deferred revenue The Group receives prepayments for services in advance of service performance from certain customers. The amounts received in advance are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized as revenue in the period which the corresponding services are performed. (u) Derivative financial instrumen |

Risks And Uncertainties [Abstract] | |
Certain risks and concentration | 3 Certain risks and concentration (a) PRC regulations The China market in which the Group operates poses certain macro-economic and regulatory risks and uncertainties. These uncertainties extend to the ability of the Group to engage in online marketing businesses through contractual arrangements in the PRC since the internet and marketing services industries remain regulated. The Group conducts certain of its operations in the PRC through its variable interest entity, which it consolidates as a result of a series contractual arrangements enacted. Though the PRC has, since 1978, implemented a wide range of market-oriented economic reforms, continued reforms and progress towards a full market-oriented economy are uncertain. In addition, the telecommunication, information, and media industries remain highly regulated. Restrictions are currently in place and are unclear with respect to which segments of these industries foreign owned entities, like the Group, may operate. The Chinese government may issue from time to time new laws or new interpretations on existing laws to regulate areas such as telecommunication, information and media. Regulatory risk also encompasses the interpretation by the tax authorities of current tax laws, and the Group’s legal structure and scope of operations in the PRC, which could be subject to further restrictions resulting in limitations on the Group’s ability to conduct business in the PRC. There are uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of current and future PRC laws, rules and regulations, including but not limited to the laws, rules and regulations governing the validity and enforcement of the contractual arrangements with consolidated VIE. The Group believes that the structure for operating its business in the PRC (including the ownership structure and the contractual arrangements with the consolidated VIE is in compliance with all applicable existing PRC laws, rules and regulations, and does not violate, breach, contravene or otherwise conflict with any applicable PRC laws, rules or regulations. However, the Group cannot assure that the PRC regulatory authorities will not adopt any new regulation to restrict or prohibit foreign investments in the online marketing business through contractual arrangements in the future or that it will not determine that the ownership structure and contractual arrangements violate PRC laws, rules or regulations. If the Company and its consolidated VIE are found to be in violation of any existing or future PRC laws or regulations, or fail to obtain or maintain any of the required permits or approvals, the relevant PRC regulatory authorities would have broad discretion in dealing with such violations, including: • revoking the business licenses of such entities; • discontinuing or restricting the conduct of any transactions between the Company’s PRC subsidiaries and OptAim VIE; • imposing fines, confiscating the income of the OptAim VIE or the Company’s PRC subsidiaries, or imposing other requirements with which the Company or its PRC subsidiaries and OptAim VIE may not be able to comply; • requiring the Company to restructure its ownership structure or operations, including terminating the contractual arrangements with OptAim VIE and deregistering the equity pledges of OptAim VIE, which in turn would affect its ability to consolidate, derive economic interests from, or exert effective control over OptAim VIE; or • restricting or prohibiting its use of the proceeds of any offering to finance its business and operations in the PRC. 3 Certain risks and concentration (Continued) (a) PRC regulations (Continued) If the imposition of any of these penalties precludes the Group from operating its business, it would no longer be in a position to generate revenue or cash from it. If the imposition of any of these penalties causes the Company to lose its rights to direct the activities of its consolidated VIEs or its rights to receive its economic benefits, the Company would no longer be able to consolidate these entities, and its financial statements would no longer reflect the results of operations from the business conducted by VIEs except to the extent that the Company receives payments from VIEs under the contractual arrangements. Either of these results, or any other significant penalties that might be imposed on the Company in this event, would have a material adverse effect on its financial condition and results of operations. Nevertheless, the laws and regulations that imposed restrictions on foreign ownership in advertising companies, including the Administrative Provisions on Foreign-Invested Advertising Enterprises were abolished in June 2015. To the extent any current or future business of OptAim VIE can be directly operated by the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries under PRC law, the Company is in the process of transferring such business to the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries. On January 19, 2015, the Ministry of Commerce (“MOFCOM”), released for public comment a proposed PRC law, the Draft Foreign Investment Law, that appeared to include VIEs within the scope of entities that could be considered to be foreign investment enterprises (“FIEs”), that would be subject to restrictions under existing PRC law on foreign investment in certain categories of industry. The National People’s Congress approved the Foreign Investment Law on March 15, 2019, effective on January 1, 2020. The Foreign Investment Law removes all references to the terms of “de facto control” or “contractual control” as defined in the draft published in 2015. However, the Foreign Investment Law has a catch-all provision under the definition of “foreign investment” which includes investments made by foreign investors in China through means stipulated in laws or administrative regulations or other methods prescribed by the State Council. In the event that the State Council in the future promulgates laws and regulations that deem investments made by foreign investors through contractual arrangements as “foreign investment,” the Group’s ability to use the contractual arrangements with its VIEs and the Group’s ability to conduct business through the VIEs could be severely limited. The Company’s ability to control the VIEs also depends on the powers of attorney the founders have to vote on all matters requiring shareholder approval in the VIEs. As noted above, these powers of attorney are believed to be legally enforceable but may not be as effective as direct equity ownership. OptAim VIE holds assets that are important to the operation of the Group’s business, including patents for proprietary technology and trademarks. If OptAim VIE falls into bankruptcy and all or part of its assets become subject to liens or rights of third-party creditors, the Group may be unable to conduct major part of its business activities in the PRC, which could have a material adverse effect on the Group’s future financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, the Group believes this is a normal business risk many companies face. The Group will continue to closely monitor the financial conditions of OptAim VIE. 3 Certain risks and concentration (Continued) (a) PRC regulations (Continued) OptAim VIE’s assets comprise both recognized and unrecognized revenue-producing assets. The recognized revenue-producing assets include leasehold improvements, computers and network equipment and self-developed computer software which are recognized in the Group ’s consolidated balance sheet. The unrecognized revenue-producing assets mainly consist of patents, trademarks and assembled workforce which are not recorded in the financial statements of OptAim VIE as it did not meet the recognition criteria set in ASC 350-30-25. The following financial information of the OptAim VIE excluding the intercompany items with the Company’s subsidiaries was included in the accompanying financial statements as of December 31, 2019 and 2020 and for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020: As of December 31, 2019 2020 Assets Current assets Cash and cash equivalents 1,654 2,113 Accounts receivable, net 4,328 1,720 Prepaid media costs 2,424 1,587 Other current assets 652 1,012 Total current assets 9,058 6,432 Non-current assets Property and equipment, net 73 82 Intangible assets 494 336 Right-of-use assets 108 484 Other non-current assets - 12 Total non-current assets 675 914 Total assets 9,733 7,346 Liabilities Current liabilities Accounts payable 27 371 Deferred revenue 866 644 Lease liabilities 86 298 Bank borrowing - 457 Income tax payable - 483 Accrued liabilities and other current liabilities 1,802 1,519 Total current liabilities 2,781 3,772 Non-current liabilities Deferred tax liabilities 187 146 Lease liabilities 25 186 Total non-current liabilities 212 332 Total liabilities 2,993 4,104 3 Certain risks and concentration (Continued) (a) PRC regulations (Continued) For the years ended December 31, 2018 2019 2020 Net revenues 2,902 20,670 22,102 Net loss (47 ) (451 ) (1,755 ) Net cash provided by/(used in) operating activities 281 (142 ) 31 Net cash used in investing activities (1 ) (69 ) (29 ) Net cash provided by financing activity - - 457 Net increase/(decrease) in cash and cash equivalents 280 (211 ) 459 In accordance with the VIE arrangements, the Group has the power to direct activities of the OptAim VIE, and can have assets transferred out of the OptAim VIE. Therefore, the Group considers that there are no assets of the OptAim VIE that can be used only to settle their obligations. (b) Foreign exchange risk Assets and liabilities of non-US$ functional currency entities are translated into US$ using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet date. Items in the statements of comprehensive loss are translated into US$ using the average exchange rate during the period. Equity accounts were translated at their historical exchange rates. The resulting translation adjustments are accumulated as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income on the consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity. Certain of the Group’s operating activities are transacted in Renminbi (“RMB”), which is not freely convertible into foreign currencies. All foreign exchange transactions 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. The revenues and expenses of the Group’s subsidiaries, VIE and VIE’s subsidiaries in the PRC are generally denominated in RMB and their assets and liabilities are denominated in RMB. RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currencies, and remittances of foreign currencies into the PRC and exchange of foreign currencies into RMB require approval by foreign exchange administrative authorities and certain supporting documentation. The State Administration for Foreign Exchange, under the authority of the People’s Bank of China, controls the conversion of RMB into other currencies. Approval of foreign currency payments by the People’s Bank of China or other regulatory institutions requires submitting a payment application form together with suppliers’ invoices and signed contracts. The value of RMB is subject to changes in central government policies and to international economic and political developments affecting supply and demand in the China Foreign Exchange Trading System market. Certain of the Group’s operating activities are transacted in Hong Kong dollars (“HK$”). Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions, recognized assets and liabilities and net investments in foreign operations. The Group considers the foreign exchange risk in relation to transactions denominated in HK$ with respect to US$ is not significant as HK$ is pegged to US$. 3 Certain risks and concentration (Continued) (c) Fair value measurement (i) Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value The following table sets forth, by level within the fair value hierarchy (Note 2(e)), financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of December 31, 2019 and 2020. As required by ASC 820, financial assets and financial liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the respective fair value measurement. Fair value measurements using Quoted prices in active market for identical assets (Level 1) Significant other observable inputs (Level 2) Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) Total fair value As of December 31, 2019 Convertible notes at fair value - - (49,008 ) (49,008 ) As of December 31, 2020 Short-term investments 2,342 10,281 - 12,623 Contingent consideration payable - - (7,755 ) (7,755 ) 2,342 10,281 (7,755 ) 4,868 The following table presents the changes in Level 3 instruments for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020.

There were no fair value changes related to such equity securities classified as other long-term investments in the consolidated balance sheets for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020. (d) Concentration risk (i) Concentration of revenues For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020, no individual customer accounted for more than 10% of the net revenues. For the year ended December 31, 2018, one customer accounted for 14% of the net revenues. (ii) Concentration of accounts receivable The Group conducts credit evaluations on its customers and generally does not require collateral or other security from such customers. The Group grants up to 180 days of credit term to customers and periodically evaluates the creditworthiness of the existing customers in determining an allowance for doubtful accounts primarily based upon the age of the receivables and factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers. As of December 31, 2019 and 2020, no individual customer accounted for more than 10% (iii) Credit risk As of December 31, 2019 and 2020, substantially all of the Group’s cash and cash equivalents, time deposits and restricted cash were placed with financial institutions in Hong Kong and the PRC. Management chooses these institutions because of their reputations and track records for stability, and their known large cash reserves, and management periodically reviews these institutions’ reputations, track records, and reported reserves. Management expects that any additional institutions that the Group uses for its cash and bank deposits will be chosen with similar criteria for soundness. The balances in the PRC are not insured since it is not a market practice in the PRC. Nevertheless under the PRC law, it is required that a commercial bank in the PRC that holds third party cash deposits should maintain a certain percentage of total customer deposits taken in a statutory reserve fund for protecting the depositors’ rights over their interests in deposited money. PRC banks are subject to a series of risk control regulatory standards; PRC bank regulatory authorities are empowered to take over the operation and management of any PRC bank that faces a material credit crisis. The Group believes that it is not exposed to unusual risks as these financial institutions are PRC banks with high credit quality. The Group had not experienced any losses on its cash and cash equivalents, time deposits and restricted cash during the years ended December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020 and believes that its credit risk to be minimal. |

Business Combinations [Abstract] | |
Business acquisition | 4 Acquisitions (a) Acquisition of Myhayo In November 2018, Beijing VIE acquired 40% equity interest of Myhayo from an independent third party. The Company obtains control over Myhayo with its controlling voting right at the level of both shareholders and board of directors, as the other shareholder of Myhayo expects the operating effectiveness brought about by the control over Myhayo by the Company to be of their best interests. Myhayo and its underlying subsidiary is a mobile content aggregator of articles and short videos in the PRC, which presents customized feeds to users via its mobile application. The Company expects to increase its market share in the PRC Marketing Solutions segment, particularly in relation to mobile platforms. The total purchase consideration for 40% equity interest of Myhayo amounted to US$726 by cash. The acquisition was recorded as a business combination. The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition: Cash 726 Recognized amounts of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed: Cash 2,420 Other current assets 6,329 Property and equipment 8 Intangible asset 697 Current liabilities (6,688 ) Deferred tax liabilities (238 ) Non-controlling interests (1,517 ) Total identifiable net assets acquired 1,011 Gain on bargain purchase (Note 22) 285 As of December 31, 2018, purchase consideration payable of US$726 was settled and there was no adjustment to the purchase consideration amounts. This business combination resulted in a gain of bargain purchase because the purchase price was lower than the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The gain on bargain purchase is attributable to the Group’s bargaining power and ability in negotiating the agreed terms of the transaction with the existing shareholder who has been seeking for strategic investors that could bring synergies to Myhayo. Acquisition-related costs were immaterial and were included in general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2018. In determining the fair value of the intangible asset, an income approach was used. In this approach, significant estimates consist of discount rate of 29.4% and a growth rate on revenue ranges from 50% to 106.8%. The estimated amounts recognized on the acquired identifiable intangible asset and its estimated useful life are shown in the following table: Intangible asset Estimated useful life Gross carrying amount A self-developed computer software and system 4 years 697 4 Acquisitions (Continued) (a) Acquisition of Myhayo (Continued) Pro-forma results related to the acquisition in accordance ASC 805 have not been presented because the acquisition of Myhayo is not material, where net revenue and net loss of the acquired entity is less than 5% of the Company’s consolidated net revenue and net loss for the year ended December 31, 2018. (b) Acquisition of Changyi In January 2019, the Company acquired 34.38% equity interest of Changyi, a company established in the PRC and an independent software vendor based in Shanghai, the PRC. Changyi and its underlying subsidiary Suzhou Changyi became subsidiaries of the Company effective from January 1, 2019 as the Company established control over Changyi Group through certain shareholder agreements since then. Other shareholders of Changyi Group expects the operating effectiveness brought about by the control over Changyi Group by the Company to be of their best interests. Changyi Group provides intelligent retail and CRM solutions to clients, allowing them to consolidate consumer’s online and offline information to provide connection within the organization and stakeholders. The Company expects to increase its market share in the data-driven Enterprise Solutions segment beyond digital marketing through Changyi Group. The total purchase consideration for 34.38% equity interest of Changyi amounted to RMB42.6 million (equivalent to approximately US$6,190) by cash. The acquisition was recorded as a business combination. The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition: Fair value of consideration transferred: Cash 6,190 Recognized amounts of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed: Cash 219 Other current assets 490 Property and equipment 56 Intangible assets 1,830 Current liabilities (405 ) Deferred tax liabilities (274 ) Non-controlling interests (11,815 ) Total identifiable net deficits acquired (9,899 ) Goodwill (Note 13) 16,089 As of December 31, 2019, purchase consideration payable of US$6,190 was settled and there is no adjustment to the purchase consideration amounts. The excess of purchase price over tangible assets, identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed was recorded as goodwill. Goodwill associated with the acquisition of Changyi was attributable to the expected synergy arising from the Enterprise Solutions operations. The acquired goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. Acquisition-related costs were immaterial and were included in general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2019. 4 Acquisitions (Continued) (b) Acquisition of Changyi (Continued) In determining the fair value of the intangible assets, an income approach was used. In this approach, significant estimates consist of discount rate of 30.2% and a growth rate on revenue ranging from 10% to 30% over a period of 5 years. The estimated amounts recognized on the acquired identifiable intangible asset and its estimated useful life are shown in the following table: Intangible asset Estimated useful life Gross carrying amount Developed technologies 5 years 117 Customer relationship 5 years 1,103 Contract backlog 3 years 610 1,830 Net revenue and net loss of Changyi for the year ended December 31, 2019 were US$5,518 and US$997, respectively. Unaudited pro forma net revenues and net loss of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2018 as if the acquisition of Changyi had occurred on January 1, 2018 were US$162,394 and US$33,415, respectively. The Company did not have any material, non-recurring pro-forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination reflected in the reported pro-forma net revenue and net loss. The pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of the actual results that would have been achieved had Changyi acquisition occurred as of January 1, 2018 or the results that may be achieved in future periods. ( c ) Acquisition of Addoil In February 2019, the Company acquired 100% equity interest of Addoil, a company incorporated in Hong Kong. Addoil and its underlying subsidiary Headline (together, “Addoil Group”) are engaged in the business of developing and operating a mobile application that collects and utilizes data from users who use its social functionalities to share food and travel related contents. The total purchase consideration for all the equity interest of Addoil Group amounted to US$1,218 by cash. The acquisition was recorded as a business combination. The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition: Fair value of consideration transferred: Cash 1,218 Recognized amounts of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed: Cash 18 Other current assets 42 Property and equipment 34 Right-of-use asset 34 Current liabilities (35 ) Total identifiable net assets acquired 93 Goodwill (Note 13) 1,125 4 Acquisitions (Continued) (c) Acquisition of Addoil (Continued) As of December 31, 2019, purchase consideration payable of US$1,218 was settled and there is no adjustment to the purchase consideration amounts. The excess of purchase price over tangible assets and liabilities assumed was recorded as goodwill. Goodwill associated with the acquisition of Addoil Group was attributable to the expected synergy arising from the consolidated Marketing Solutions business. The acquired goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. Acquisition-related costs were immaterial and were included in general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2020. Pro-forma results related to the acquisition in accordance ASC 805 have not been presented because the acquisition of Addoil Group is not material, where net revenue and net loss of the acquired entity is less than 5% of the Company’s consolidated net revenue and net loss for the year ended December 31, 2020. ( d ) Acquisition of Optimal In May 2020, the Company acquired 80% equity interest of Optimal, a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands. Optimal, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, has a business cooperation agreement entered into with a global media asset owner to act as its authorized digital advertising representative in the PRC for a period of 30 years, which will be automatically renewed annually as long as the Company continues to perform related payment obligations on an annual license fee of RMB30 thousand (equivalent to US$5). The agreement is essentially an advertising contract. The Company expects to increase its market share in the Marketing Solution segment in the PRC upon acquisition of this advertising contract. The acquisition was determined to be an asset acquisition as Optimal did not contain outputs or a substantive process as at the date of acquisition, therefore it does not constitute a business under ASC 805. The Company issued 3,589,744 Class A ordinary shares to the seller with a fair value of US$31,949, determined based on the fair value for 80% equity interest of Optimal. The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition: Cash 3,001 Intangible asset 53,287 Other liabilities (3,030 ) Deferred tax liabilities (13,322 ) Non-controlling interests (7,987 ) Total identifiable net assets acquired 31,949 The intangible asset represents the advertising contract, which is amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of 30 years. In December 2020, the Company has acquired the remaining 20% equity interest of Optimal (Note 1(a)(v)). 4 Acquisitions (Continued) ( e ) Acquisition of CMRS Group Holding Limited In November 2020, the Group acquired 100% equity interest in CMRS Group Holding Limited (“CMRS”), a company incorporated in Hong Kong. CMRS and its underlying subsidiaries (together, “CMRS Group”) are engaged in the provision of digital marketing, social media and key opinion leaders and smart content generation enterprise solution services. The Company expects to increase its market share in both Marketing and Enterprise Solutions segments with the combination of data-driven consumer experience management as well as digital content marketing and management to maximize digital marketing potential and efficiency through CMRS Group. The total purchase consideration for CMRS Group amounted to US$14,449. This is comprised of cash consideration of HK$33,594 (equivalent to approximately US$4,335), 182,950 Class A ordinary shares of the Company with a fair value of US$2,440 and contingent consideration payable at a fair value of US$7,674. The acquisition was recorded as a business combination. The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition: Fair value of consideration transferred: Cash 4,335 Class A ordinary shares of the Company 2,440 Contingent consideration 7,674 14,449 Recognized amounts of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed: Cash 3,651 Restricted cash (Note) 532 Accounts receivable 4,149 Intangible assets 2,194 Other assets 1,792 Deferred tax liabilities (362 ) Other liabilities (6,216 ) Total identifiable net assets acquired 5,740 Goodwill (Note 13) 8,709 Note: Contingent consideration are contingently payable upon the satisfaction of certain financial performance targets of the Company and market conditions, which are to be settled partially by cash and partially by ordinary shares of the Company. The number of ordinary shares to be issued and allotted to sellers is determined using the 10-day moving average closing price of the ADS of the Company. Contingent consideration is measured at fair value at the acquisition date using projected milestone dates, probabilities of success and projected financial results of the CMRS Group discounted at its fair value as at the acquisition date. 4 Acquisitions (Continued) (e) Acquisition of CMRS Group Holding Limited (Continued) In determining the fair value of the contingent consideration, an income approach was applied by using discounted cash flows. In this approach, projected risk-adjusted contingent payments are discounted back to the current period using a discounted cash flow model. The key assumptions used to determine the fair value of the contingent consideration include projected milestone dates within 24 months after acquisition date and discount rate of 4.32%. Increase or decreases in the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities primarily result from changes in the estimated probabilities of achieving net profits after tax thresholds or market share prices milestones during the period. As of December 31, 2020, the Company has recorded contingent consideration of US$7,755, out of which US$3,276 is repayable in January 2022 and the remaining US$4,479 is repayable in December 2022, which are recorded as non-current liabilities. As of December 31, 2020, purchase consideration of US$959 was settled and there is no adjustment to the purchase consideration amounts. The excess of purchase price over tangible assets, identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed was recorded as goodwill. Goodwill associated with the acquisition of CMRS Group was attributable to the expected synergy with the existing Enterprise Solutions and Marketing Solutions operations. The acquired goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. Acquisition-related costs were immaterial and were included in general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2020. In determining the fair value of the intangible assets, an income approach was used. In this approach, significant estimates consist of discount rate of 22.3% and a growth rates on revenue ranging from 3.0% to 6.2% over a period of 4 years. The estimated amounts recognized on the acquired identifiable intangible asset and its estimated useful life are shown in the following table: Intangible asset Estimated useful life Gross carrying amount Brand name 4 years 1,162 Customer relationship 4 years 1,032 2,194 Unaudited pro forma net revenues and net loss of the Company for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020 as if the acquisition of CMRS Group had occurred on January 1, 2019 were as follows. For the years ended December 31, 2019 2020 Net revenues 221,603 270,326 Net loss (10,505 ) (13,346 ) The Company did not have any material, non-recurring pro-forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination reflected in the reported pro-forma net revenue and net loss. The pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of the actual results that would have been achieved had CMRS Group acquisition occurred as of January 1, 2019 or the results that may be achieved in future periods. |

Leases [Abstract] | |
Lease Accounting | 14 Lease accounting The Group adopted ASC 842 as of January 1, 2019. As part of the implementation, the Group recognized its lease liabilities, including the current and non-current portions, within its consolidated balance sheets as of the adoption date, which represents the present value of the Group’s obligation related to the estimated future lease payments. The Group also recognized ROU assets which represent the right to use the leased assets over the period of individual leases. The ROU assets were calculated as the lease liabilities less any asset or liability balances that existed at the time of adoption. The amortization expense of ROU assets amounted to US$1,548 and US$1,930 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020, respectively. The lease term is generally specified in lease agreements, however certain agreements provide for lease term extensions or early termination options. To determine the period for the estimated future lease payments, the Group evaluates whether it is reasonably certain that it will exercise the option at the commencement date and periodically thereafter. The lease terms of the Group’s operating leases generally ranged from 12 to 60 months (2019: 12 to 39 months), and the weighted average remaining lease term as of December 31, 2020 was 13 months (2019: 18 months). To determine the estimated future lease payments, the Group reviews each of its lease agreements to identify the various payment components. The Group includes only the actual lease components in its determination of future lease payments for all the leases. Once the estimated future lease payments are determined, the Group uses a discount rate to calculate the present value of the future lease payments. As of December 31, 2020, a weighted average discount rate of 6.5% (2019: 7%) has been applied to the remaining lease payments to calculate the lease liabilities included within the consolidated balance sheets. This represents the incremental borrowing rate the Group would be subject to on borrowings from its available revolving debt agreements. The following table presents the maturity of the Group’s operating lease liabilities as of December 31, 2020. 2021 2,108 2022 1,120 2023 304 Total operating lease payments (undiscounted) 3,532 Less: Imputed interest (204 ) Total operating lease liabilities (discounted) 3,328 14 Lease accounting (Continued) Lease expenses for these leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For short-term leases over which the Group has elected not to apply the recognition requirements of ASC 842, the Group has recognized the lease payments as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For the year ended December 31, 2018, total rental expenses under all operating leases was US$2,737. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020, total lease cost is comprised of the following: For the years ended December 31, 2019 2020 Relating to the operating lease liabilities 1,721 2,155 Relating to short-term leases 887 912 2,608 3,067 Supplemental cash flow information related to operating leases for the year ended December 31, 2020 was as follows: For the years ended December 31, 2019 2020 Cash payments for amounts included in the measurement of operating lease liabilities 2,449 3,067 Right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for operating lease liabilities 3,199 2,710 |

This constitutes a call option written to the investor to purchase the July 2020 Notes (the “Call Option”) which is recorded as a derivative liability The fair value of the Call Option recorded as derivative liabilities of US$11,466 as of July 30, 2020 was determined using a binomial model with the key assumptions being the volatility of 13.39% and risk-free rate of 0.09%. The volatility was based on the implied historical volatility of certain comparable companies. The risk-free interest rate is equal to the yield of US Treasury Strips with a maturity life equal to the time to maturity of the July 2020 Notes. 18 Convertible notes at fair value (Continued) Note: (Continued) (vi) The fair values of the 2018 Notes, January 2020 Notes and July 2020 Notes as of the dates of conversion and the end of reporting periods were determined using Monte Carlo simulation, with key assumptions summarized in the below table.

Equity [Abstract] | |
Ordinary shares | 19 Ordinary shares As of December 31, 2019 and 2020, the Company is authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of US$0.001 par value per ordinary share, out of which 80,000,000 shares are Class A ordinary shares and 20,000,000 shares are Class B ordinary shares. The holders of Class A ordinary shares shall have one vote in respect of each Class A ordinary share held and the holders of Class B ordinary shares shall have twenty votes in respect of each Class B ordinary share held. At the time the Company adopted the 2010 Employee Share Option Plan (the “2010 Share Option Plan”) and 2018 Post IPO Share Incentive Plan, the Company, together with the then shareholders, also decided to allot ordinary shares with par value of US$0.001 to Arda Holdings Limited (“Arda”), a British Virgin Islands company owned by the Group’s chairman at no consideration. Arda will only hold these ordinary shares on trust for the benefit of the employees who are under the 2010 Share Option Plan and 2018 Post IPO Share Incentive Plan and the dealing of these ordinary shares is under the direction of the board of directors of the Company. The Company considered Arda to be a variable interest entity as this entity has no equity at risk. The Company further considered that it is the primary beneficiary because the purchase of Arda is to hold treasury shares on behalf of the Company and the dealings of those transactions are under the direction of the Company’s board of directors. Given the structure of this arrangement, while these ordinary shares have been legally issued, they do not bear the attributes of unrestricted, issued and outstanding shares. Therefore, the ordinary shares issued to Arda are accounted for as treasury shares of the Company until these ordinary shares are earned by the Company’s employees, officers, directors or consultants for service provided to the Group. The Company allotted 627,811 shares during the year the 2010 Share Option Plan was adopted. No additional shares have been allotted during the years ended December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020 to Arda. Arda does not hold any other assets or liabilities as of December 31, 2019 and 2020, nor earn any income nor incur any expenses for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020. |

Share-based compensation | 2 1 Share-based compensation (a) Share option plan The Company’s 2010 Share Option Plan provides for the grant of incentive share options to the Company’s employees, officers, directors or consultants. The Company’s board of directors administers the 2010 Share Option Plan, selects the individuals to whom options will be granted, determines the number of options to be granted, and the term and exercise price of each option. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020, no share options were granted to non-employees, employees, officers and directors of the Group. The following table summarizes the share option activities for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020: Number of share options Weighted average exercise price Weighted average grant date fair value Weighted average remaining contractual life Aggregate intrinsic value US$ US$ years US$’000 At January 1, 2018 1,542,576 5.62 N/A 7.24 19,387 Exercised (503,712 ) 1.28 N/A N/A N/A Forfeited (130,455 ) 9.19 N/A N/A N/A At December 31, 2018 908,409 7.52 N/A 6.27 2,724 Vested and expected to vest at December 31, 2018 862,372 4.69 11.39 5.58 2,793 Exercisable to vest at December 31, 2018 823,341 4.52 12.02 5.88 2,634 At January 1, 2019 908,409 7.52 N/A 6.27 2,724 Exercised (135,281 ) 1.25 N/A N/A N/A Forfeited (105,261 ) 11.46 N/A N/A N/A At December 31, 2019 667,867 8.16 N/A 5.27 1,807 Vested and expected to vest at December 31, 2019 660,247 4.72 12.08 5.14 780 Exercisable to vest at December 31, 2019 657,142 4.54 12.78 5.64 800 At January 1, 2020 667,867 8.16 N/A 5.27 1,807 Exercised (235,765 ) 3.75 N/A N/A N/A Forfeited — — N/A N/A N/A At December 31, 2020 432,102 10.56 N/A 4.28 4,578 Vested and expected to vest at December 31, 2020 430,569 5.10 14.51 5.09 5,215 Exercisable to vest at December 31, 2020 431,245 5.13 14.50 5.09 5,213 Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant. If necessary, forfeitures are revised in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Based upon the Company’s historical and expected forfeitures for share options granted, the directors of the Company estimated that its future forfeiture rate would be 9% and 5% for employees and 58% and 26% for senior management in 2019 and 2020, respectively. 2 1 Share-based compensation (Continued) The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the difference between the estimated fair values of the Company’s ordinary shares as of December 31, 2019 and 2020 and the exercise price. All share-based payments to employees are measured based on their grant-date fair values. Compensation expense is recognized based on the vesting schedule over the requisite service period. Total fair values of options vested and recognized as expenses for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020 were US$5,349, US$784 and US$107, respectively. As of December 31, 2019 and 2020, there were US$96 and US$4 of unrecognized share-based compensation expenses related to share options, which were expected to be recognized over a weighted-average vesting period of 0.86 and 0.25 years, respectively. To the extent the actual forfeiture rate is different from the Company’s estimate, the actual share-based compensation related to these awards may be different from the expectation. The binomial option pricing model is used to determine the fair value of the share options granted to employees and non-employees. There were no grant or modification of share options during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020. Key assumptions used in estimating the fair values of share options modified during the year ended December 31, 2018 include risk-free interest rate of 2.83% to 2.92%, dividend yield of 0%, and volatility rate of 42.72% to 44.65%. The risk-free interest rate of periods within the contractual life of the share option is based on the yield of US Treasury Strips sourced from Bloomberg as of the valuation dates. Expected volatility is estimated based on the average of historical volatilities of the comparable companies in the same industry as of the valuation dates. 2 1 Share-based compensation (Continued) (b) Post-IPO share incentive plan The Company’s post-IPO share incentive plan provides for the grant of incentive share options and RSUs to the Company’s employees, officers, directors or consultants. The Company’s board of directors administers the post-IPO share incentive plan, selects the individuals to whom options and RSUs will be granted, determines the number of options and RSUs to be granted, and the term and exercise price of each option and RSU. During the years ended December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020, the Company granted RSUs to non-employees, employees, officers and directors of the Group. The following table summarizes the activity of the service-based RSUs for the year ended December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020: Number of RSUs Weighted average grant date fair value At January 1, 2018 — — Granted (with a vesting period of 0 to 4 years) 1,950,374 8.72 Vested (1,569,792 ) 9.94 Forfeited (Note (ii)) (4,310 ) 12.7 At December 31, 2018 376,272 8.02 Vested and expected to vest at December 31, 2018 376,272 8.02 At January 1, 2019 376,272 8.02 Granted (with a vesting period of 1 to 4 years) 279,480 3.79 Vested (167,833 ) 10.25 Forfeited (Note (ii)) (24,373 ) 7.56 At December 31, 2019 463,546 5.52 Vested and expected to vest at December 31, 2019 377,507 7.57 At January 1, 2020 463,546 5.52 Granted (with a vesting period of 0 to 4 years) 1,180,295 7.83 Vested (962,606 ) 6.55 Forfeited/expired (Note (ii)) (46,730 ) 7.26 At December 31, 2020 634,505 8.11 Vested and expected to vest at December 31, 2020 620,245 8.83 Note: ( i ) All share-based payments to employees are measured based on their grant-date fair values. Compensation expense is recognized based on the vesting schedule over the requisite service period. Total fair values and intrinsic value of RSUs vested and recognized as expenses for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020 were US$14,330, US$1,331 and US$6,142 respectively. (ii) Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant. If necessary, forfeitures are revised in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Based upon the Company’s expected forfeitures for RSUs granted, the directors of the Company estimated that its future forfeiture rate would be 1% for employees and 0% for non-employees in 2019 and 2020, respectively. 2 1 Share-based compensation (Continued) (b) Post-IPO share incentive plan (Continued) Note: (Continued) (iii) During the years ended December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020, the Company has granted RSUs which are subject to certain market conditions based on achievement of stock prices of the Company. The Company determines the fair value of these RSUs as of the date of grant or modification using the Monte Carlo simulation model ( c ) Issuance of warrants to an external consultant Pursuant to the agreement executed between the Company and an external consultant ("Warrant Agreement"), the Company shall issue warrants to purchase up to 4,651,162 ADSs ("Warrants") to the external consultant in exchange for its financial advisory services which the Warrants shall be vested upon the completion of raising a minimum of US$20,000 by the Company through issuing convertible notes or any equivalent financial instruments. On December 9, 2019, the Company, based on the Warrant Agreement, issued the Warrants to the external consultant as the Company was able to successfully issue the November 2019 Notes. The exercise period of the Warrants commences on December 16, 2020 at an exercise price of US$4.30 per ADS and will expire on December 16, 2022. In accordance with ASC 718, the measurement date for the vested warrants was December 9, 2019. The warrants issued to the consultant are classified as equity awards and measured based on the measurement date fair value of US$0.709 per warrant. During the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2020, no warrants were exercised. Since all of the warrants granted were immediately vested, compensation expense of US$3,298 was immediately recognized with a corresponding credit to additional paid-in capital during the year ended December 31, 2019. The fair value of the warrants granted on December 9, 2019 was estimated by using the binomial option pricing model with the following assumptions: Input % Volatility 42.1 Risk-free interest rate 1.6 Expected dividend yield 0.0 Expected warrant life (years) 3.0 Expected forfeiture rate 0.0 2 1 Share-based compensation (Continued) ( d ) Total share-based compensation costs Total share-based compensation costs recognized for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020 are as follows: For the years ended December 31, 2018 2019 2020 Cost of revenues 347 35 5 Research and development 6,587 661 92 Sales and marketing 4,811 655 2,707 General and administrative 7,934 4,062 3,445 Total 19,679 5,413 6,249 |

Income tax | 2 3 Income tax (a) Cayman Islands and British Virgin Islands Under the current tax laws of Cayman Islands, the Company and its subsidiaries are not subject to tax on income or capital gains. Besides, upon payment of dividends by the Company to its shareholders, no Cayman Islands withholding tax will be imposed. The Company's subsidiaries incorporated in the British Virgin Islands are not subject to income or capital gains taxes, estate duty, inheritance tax or gift tax. In addition, payment of dividends to the shareholders of the Company's subsidiaries in the British Virgin Islands are not subject to withholding tax in the British Virgin Islands. 2 3 Income tax (Continued) ( b ) Hong Kong profits tax Entities incorporated in Hong Kong are subject to Hong Kong profits tax . Under the two- tiered profits tax rates regime, the first HK$2 million assessable profits of the qualifying group company are subject to Hong Kong profits tax at a rate of 8.25% and the remaining profits are subject at a rate of 16.5% on the estimated assessable profits. The profits of group entities not qualifying for the two-tiered profits tax rates regime will continue to be taxed at a flat rate of 16.5%. ( c ) PRC Enterprise Income Tax (“EIT”) The Company’s subsidiaries, VIE and VIE’s subsidiaries in the PRC are governed by the Enterprise Income Tax Law (“EIT Law”). Pursuant to the EIT Law and its implementation rules, enterprises in the PRC are generally subjected to tax at a statutory rate of 25%. High and new technology enterprises (“HNTE”) will enjoy a preferential enterprise income tax rate of 15% under the EIT Law. OptAim WFOE and Changyi, the Company’s subsidiaries in the PRC, which are qualified as a HNTE under the EIT Law, are eligible for a preferential enterprise income tax rate of 15% for the period from 2018 to 2020 and 2017 to 2022, respectively, so long as these subsidiaries obtain approval from relevant tax authority if they are profitable during the period. In addition, according to the EIT Law and its implementation rules, foreign enterprises, which have no establishment or place in the PRC but derive dividends, interest, rents, royalties and other income (including capital gains) from sources in the PRC shall be subject to PRC withholding tax (“WHT”) at 10% (a further reduced WHT rate may be available according to the applicable double tax treaty or arrangement). The 10% WHT is applicable to any dividends to be distributed from the Group’s PRC subsidiaries to the Group’s overseas companies unless otherwise exempted pursuant to applicable tax treaties or tax arrangements between the PRC government and the government of other jurisdiction which the WHT is reduced to 5%. Although there are undistributed earnings of the Company’s subsidiaries in the PRC that are available for distribution to the Company, the undistributed earnings of the Company’s subsidiaries located in the PRC are considered to be indefinitely reinvested, because the Company does not have any present plan to pay any cash dividends on its ordinary shares in the foreseeable future and intends to retain most of its available funds and any future earnings for use in the operation and expansion of its business. Accordingly, no deferred tax liability has been accrued for the PRC dividend withholding taxes that would be payable upon the distribution of those amounts to the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2020. The undistributed earnings from the Company’s subsidiaries in the PRC as of December 31, 2019 and 2020 amounted US$1,481 and US$1,468 would be due if these earnings were remitted as dividends as of December 31, 2019 and 2020. An estimated foreign withholding taxes of US$74 and US$73 would be due if these earnings were remitted as dividends as of December 31, 2019 and 2020, respectively. (d) Composition of income tax expense The current and deferred portions of income tax expense included in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss are as follows: For the years ended December 31, 2018 2019 2020 Current income tax expense 1,561 1,130 2,784 Deferred tax benefits (906 ) (1,083 ) (1,151 ) Income tax expense 655 47 1,633 2 3 Income tax (Continued) (e) Deferred tax assets and liabilities Deferred taxes were measured using the enacted tax rates for the periods in which they are expected to be reversed. The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to the deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances as of December 31, 2019 and 2020 are as follows: As of December 31, 2019 2020 Deferred tax assets Tax losses carried forward 5,923 4,365 Share-based payments 831 759 Temporary difference on deferred income 202 194 Less: Valuation allowance (Note (i)) (5,923 ) (4,365 ) 1,033 953 Deferred tax liabilities Acquired intangible assets (894 ) (13,585 ) Outside basis difference (Note (ii)) (942 ) (542 ) Others (29 ) (29 ) (1,865 ) (14,156 ) Note: ( i ) Valuation allowance is provided against deferred tax assets when the Group determines that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be utilized in the future. In making such determination, the Group considered factors including future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and tax loss carryforwards. Valuation allowance was provided for net operating loss carryforwards because it was more likely than not that such deferred tax assets will not be realized based on the Group’s estimate of its future taxable income. If events occur in the future that allow the Group to realize more of its deferred income tax than the presently recorded amounts, an adjustment to the valuation allowances will result in a decrease in tax expense when those events occur. Movement of valuation allowance is as follows: For the years ended December 31, 2018 2019 2020 Beginning balance 7,573 6,385 5,923 Additions 199 801 1,144 Reversals (Note) (1,387 ) (1,263 ) (2,702 ) Ending balance 6,385 5,923 4,365 Note: The reversals comprise tax loss carryforwards which have been utilized to offset taxable income during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020, respectively, and tax loss carryforwards which were expired in 2019. ( ii ) The deferred tax liabilities are recorded for the undistributed earnings in the Group’s VIE in the PRC and its subsidiaries of US$3,770 and US$2,169 as of December 31, 2019 and 2020, respectively. 2 3 Income tax (Continued) (e) Deferred tax assets and liabilities (Continued) Tax loss carryforwards As of December 31, 2020, the Group had tax loss carryforwards of approximately US$22,001, which can be carried forward to offset future taxable income. The net operating tax loss carryforwards will begin to expire as follows: 2020 2,561 2021 6,025 2022 417 2023 4,739 2024 5,574 Tax loss with no expiry 2,685 22,001 In accordance with PRC Tax Administration Law on the Levying and Collection of Taxes, the PRC tax authorities generally have up to five years to claw back underpaid tax plus penalties and interest for PRC entities’ tax filings. In the case of tax evasion, which is not clearly defined in the law, there is no limitation on the tax years open for investigation. Accordingly, the PRC entities’ tax years from 2014 to 2019 remain subject to examination by the tax authorities. There were no ongoing examinations by tax authorities as of December 31, 2019 and 2020. (f) Income tax reconciliation Reconciliation between the expense of income taxes computed by applying the statutory tax rates to loss before income taxes and the actual provision for income taxes is as follows: For the years ended December 31, 2018 2019 2020 Tax benefit calculated at statutory tax rates (Note i) (7,989 ) (2,599 ) (3,291 ) Effect of differences between statutory tax rates and foreign effective tax rates 2,804 1,999 4,513 Non-taxable other income (274 ) (235 ) (627 ) Non-deductible expenses (Note ii) 6,784 1,338 3,202 Valuation allowance (1,188 ) (462 ) (1,558 ) Outside basis difference (Note iii) 518 (62 ) (400 ) Additional deduction of research and development expenses (Note iv) - - (270 ) Others - 68 64 Income tax expense 655 47 1,633 Note: (i) The Group’s major operation was conducted out of the PRC. Accordingly, the Group prepared its tax rate reconciliation starting with the PRC statutory tax rate during the years ended December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020. 2 3 Income tax (Continued) (f) Income tax reconciliation (Continued) Note: (Continued) (ii) Non-deductible expenses were mainly related to share-based compensation expenses, fair value losses on derivative liabilities and fair value losses on convertible notes. (iii) Outside basis difference is related to undistributed earnings in the Group’s VIE in the PRC and its subsidiaries (Note 23(e)(ii)). (iv) According to a policy promulgated by the State Tax Bureau of the PRC and effective from 2008 onwards, companies engaged in research and development activities are entitled to claim ranging from 150% to 175% of the research and development expenses so incurred in a period as tax deductible expenses in determining its tax assessable profits for that period. Certain PRC subsidiaries of the Company have applied such additional deduction for the year ended December 31, 2020. |

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Segments | 2 6 Segments Effective in the first quarter of 2019, the Group changed its segment disclosure to separately report the financial results of its Enterprise Solutions business in light of the acquisition of Changyi on January 1, 2019. This segment primarily reflects the results of the Group’s SaaS products offering, which is conducted through Changyi Group, a group of companies acquired on January 1, 2019. At the same time, the Group named its pre-existing online marketing service business as Marketing Solution business. Therefore, the Group now reports two operating segments: 1) Marketing Solutions, and 2) Enterprise Solutions. The table below provides a summary of the Group’s breakdown of net revenues by type of goods or services and operating segment results for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020. The Group does not allocate any operating costs or assets to its business segments as the Group’s CODM does not use this information to measure the performance of the operating segments. There was no significant transaction between reportable segments for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020. 26 Segments (Continued) For the years ended December 31, 2018 2019 2020 Net revenues: Marketing Solutions - Sales agent 8,671 6,563 5,834 - Cost-plus 12,192 17,146 26,738 - Specified actions 139,154 165,263 193,280 160,017 188,972 225,852 Enterprise Solutions - SaaS products offering - 10,436 28,893 160,017 199,408 254,745 Cost of revenues: Marketing Solutions - Specified actions (120,897 ) (139,976 ) (172,917 ) Enterprise Solutions - SaaS products offering - (2,727 ) (8,565 ) (120,897 ) (142,703 ) (181,482 ) Gross profit: Marketing Solutions - Sales agent 8,671 6,563 5,834 - Cost-plus 12,192 17,146 26,738 - Specified actions 18,257 25,287 20,363 39,120 48,996 52,935 Enterprise Solutions - SaaS products offering - 7,709 20,328 39,120 56,705 73,263 The Group currently does not allocate assets to all of its segments, as its CODM does not use such information to allocate resources or evaluate the performance of the operating segments.

Other Restricted Assets [Abstract] | |
Restricted net assets | 29 Restricted net assets Relevant PRC laws and regulations permit payments of dividends by the Group’s subsidiary, VIE and its subsidiaries incorporated in the PRC only out of their retained earnings, if any, as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. In addition, the Group’s subsidiary and the VIE in the PRC are required to annually appropriate 10% of their net after-tax income to the statutory general reserve fund prior to payment of any dividends, unless such reserve funds have reached 50% of their respective registered capital. As a result of these and other restrictions under PRC laws and regulations, the Group’s subsidiaries, VIE and its subsidiaries incorporated in the PRC are restricted in their ability to transfer a portion of their net assets to the Company either in the form of dividends, loans or advances. There are no significant differences between US GAAP and PRC accounting standards in connection with the reported net assets of the legally owned subsidiaries in the PRC and the VIE. Even though the Company currently does not require any such dividends, loans or advances from the PRC entities for working capital and other funding purposes, the Company may in the future require additional cash resources from them due to changes in business conditions, to fund future acquisitions and development, or merely to declare and pay dividends or distributions to our shareholders. Except for the above, there is no other restriction on use of proceeds generated by the Group’s subsidiaries, VIE and its subsidiaries to satisfy any obligations of the Company. As of December 31, 2019 and 2020, the total restricted net assets of the Company’s subsidiaries and OptAim VIE incorporated in the PRC and subjected to restriction amounted to approximately US$60,411 and US$68,233, respectively. Except for the above there is no other restriction on the use of proceeds generated by the Company’s subsidiaries, VIE and VIE’s subsidiaries to satisfy any obligations of the Company. |

Condensed Financial Information Of Parent Company Only Disclosure [Abstract] | |
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF PARENT COMPANY | ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF PARENT COMPANY Rules 12-04(a) and 4-08(e)(3) of Regulation S-X require condensed financial information as to the financial position, cash flows and results of operations of a parent company as of and for the same periods for which the audited consolidated financial statements have been presented when the restricted net assets of the consolidated subsidiaries together exceed 25% of consolidated net assets as of the end of the most recently completed fiscal year. The following condensed financial statements of the Company have been prepared using the same accounting policies as set out in the Company’s consolidated financial statements except that the Company used the equity method to account for its investment in its subsidiaries and VIEs. Such investment is presented on the separate condensed balance sheets of the Company as “Investment in subsidiaries and VIEs” and “Accumulated losses in excess of investment in subsidiaries and VIEs.” The Company, its subsidiaries and VIEs were included in the consolidated financial statements whereby the inter-company balances and transactions were eliminated upon consolidation. The Company’s share of income from its subsidiaries and VIEs is reported as share of income from subsidiaries and VIEs in the condensed financial statements. The Company is a Cayman Islands company and, therefore, is not subjected to income taxes for all years presented. The footnote disclosures contain supplemental information relating to the operations of the Company and, as such, these statements should be read in conjunction with the notes to the consolidated financial statements of the Company. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. As of December 31, 2019 and 2020, there were no material commitments or contingencies, significant provisions for long-term obligations or guarantees of the Company, except for those which have been separately disclosed in the consolidated financial statements, if any. Inter-company charges, share-based compensation and other miscellaneous expenses for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020, which were previously recognized at the parent company level, had been pushed down to the WFOE/VIE level given the majority of services were provided to the WFOE/VIE entities. The condensed financial statements of the parent company should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto. For purposes of these condensed financial statements, the Company’s wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries are recorded based upon its proportionate share of the subsidiaries’ net assets (similar to presenting them on the equity method). iCLICK INTERACTIVE ASIA GROUP LIMITED CONDENSED BALANCE SHEETS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2019 AND 2020 (US$’000, except share data and per share data, or otherwise noted) As of December 31, 2019 2020 Assets Current assets Cash and cash equivalents 20,459 402 Time deposits 301 46 Restricted cash 2,930 5,266 Amounts due from subsidiaries and VIEs 84,831 162,486 Other current assets 1,226 1,095 Total current assets 109,747 169,295 Non-current assets Deferred tax assets 201 194 Investments in subsidiaries and VIEs 42,783 116,388 Other long-term investments 1,503 1,522 Investment in an equity investee 158 460 Total non-current assets 44,645 118,564 Total assets 154,392 287,859 Liabilities and shareholders’ equity Current liabilities Accrued liabilities and other current liabilities 2,834 7,627 Convertible notes at fair value 49,008 - Total current liabilities 51,842 7,627 Non-current liability Other liabilities 449 8,130 Total non-current liability 449 8,130 Total liabilities 52,291 15,757 Commitments and contingencies - - Shareholders’ equity Ordinary shares 29 46 Treasury shares (4,858 ) (10,341 ) Other shareholders’ equity 106,930 282,397 Total shareholders’ equity 102,101 272,102 Total liabilities and shareholders’ equity 154,392 287,859 CONDENSED STATEMENTS OF COMPREHENSIVE LOSS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2018, 2019 AND 2020 (US$’000, except share data and per share data, or otherwise noted) For the years ended December 31, 2018 2019 2020 Operating expenses General and administrative expenses (27,643 ) (12,064 ) (13,598 ) Total operating expenses (27,643 ) (12,064 ) (13,598 ) Operating loss (27,643 ) (12,064 ) (13,598 ) Other gains/(losses), net 403 285 (409 ) Fair value losses on derivative liabilities - - (11,466 ) Fair value (losses)/gains on convertible notes (4,837 ) 133 (4,433 ) Share of (losses)/profits from subsidiaries and VIEs (264 ) 2,519 17,477 Loss before income tax expense (32,341 ) (9,127 ) (12,429 ) Share of losses from an equity investee - (408 ) (111 ) Income tax expense (68 ) (68 ) (78 ) Net loss attributable to iClick Interactive Asia Group Limited’s ordinary shareholders (32,409 ) (9,603 ) (12,618 ) Net loss attributable to iClick Interactive Asia Group Limited (32,409 ) (9,603 ) (12,618 ) Other comprehensive (loss)/income: Foreign currency translation adjustment, net of tax (2,547 ) (1,612 ) 5,001 Comprehensive loss attributable to iClick Interactive Asia Group Limited (34,956 ) (11,215 ) (7,617 ) CONDENSED STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2018, 2019 AND 2020 (US$’000, except share data and per share data, or otherwise noted) For the years ended December 31, 2018 2019 2020 Cash flows from operating activities Net cash (used in)/provided by operating activities (32,234 ) 9,746 (81,116 ) Cash flows from investing activities Increase in other long-term investments (503 ) (1,000 ) (19 ) Investment in an equity investee - (566 ) (412 ) (Increase)/decrease in time deposits - (301 ) 255 Acquisition of subsidiaries - - (959 ) Net cash used in investing activities (503 ) (1,867 ) (1,135 ) Cash flows from financing activities Proceeds from issuance of shares upon private placements and follow on offering - - 71,917 Proceeds from exercise of share options 656 315 1,305 Proceeds from issuance of convertible notes, net of transaction expenses 27,810 28,742 19,184 Redemption of convertible notes - (11,265 ) (15,196 ) Repurchase of ordinary shares (37 ) (4,414 ) (5,677 ) Purchase of interests in subsidiaries from non-controlling interests - - (7,003 ) Net cash provided by financing activities 28,429 13,378 64,530 Net (decrease)/increase in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash (4,308 ) 21,257 (17,721 ) |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of presentation | (a) Basis of presentation The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the US GAAP. Significant accounting policies followed by the Company in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements are summarized below. |
Use of estimates | (b) Use of estimates The preparation of the Group’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from such estimates. The Group believes that revenue recognition, rebates, consolidation of VIE, determination of share-based compensation, measurement of and convertible notes and derivative liability, impairment assessment of long-lived assets and intangible assets, and fair value determination related to the accounting for business combinations reflect more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements. Management bases the estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions as discussed elsewhere to the consolidated financial statements that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates. |
Consolidation | (c) Consolidation The Group’s consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, its subsidiaries, its VIEs and a VIE’s subsidiaries for which the Company or its subsidiary is the primary beneficiary. All transactions and balances among the Company, its subsidiaries, its VIEs and a VIE’s subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation. A subsidiary is an entity in which the Company, directly or indirectly, controls more than one half of the voting powers; or has the power to appoint or remove the majority of the members of the board of directors; or to cast a majority of votes at the meeting of directors; or has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the investee under a statute or agreement among the shareholders or equity holders. A VIE is an entity in which the Company, or its subsidiary, through contractual agreements, bears the risks of, and enjoys the rewards normally associated with ownership of the entity. In determining whether the Company or its subsidiaries are the primary beneficiary, the Company considered whether it has the power to direct activities that are significant to the VIE’s economic performance, and also the Group’s obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. OptAim WFOE and ultimately the Company hold all the variable interests of the VIE and its subsidiaries, and has been determined to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE. Non-controlling interests are recognized to reflect the portion of their equity that is not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Company as the controlling shareholder. Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss, statement of changes in equity and balance sheet, respectively. |
Foreign currency translation | (d) Foreign currency translation The reporting currency of the Company is the United States dollars (“US$”). The Company is a holding company engaged in capital raising and financing activities denominated in US$. As such, the Company’s functional currency has been determined to be the US$. The functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries is the local currency of the country in which they are domiciled. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the rates of exchange existing at the balance sheet date. Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency during the year are converted into the functional currency at the applicable rates of exchange prevailing at the transaction date. Transaction gains and losses are recognized in “other gains, net”. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rates at the balance sheet date. Equity accounts are translated at historical exchange rates and revenues, expenses, gains and losses are translated using the average rate for the year. Translation adjustments are reported as cumulative translation adjustments and are shown as a separate component of other comprehensive loss in the consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity and comprehensive loss. |
Fair value of financial instruments | (e) Fair value of financial instruments Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. When available, the Company uses quoted market prices to determine the fair value of an asset or liability. If quoted market prices are not available, the Group will measure fair value using valuation techniques that use, when possible, current market-based or independently sourced market parameters, such as interest rates and currency rates. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Fair value measurements are based on a fair value hierarchy, based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value which are the following: Level 1 — Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted market prices for similar assets and liabilities; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. Level 3 — Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Observable inputs are based on market data obtained from independent sources. The Company’s contingent consideration (Note 4 (e)), derivative liabilities and convertible notes (Note 18) are measured using unobservable inputs that require a high level of judgment to determine fair value, and thus classified as Level 3 (Note 3(c)). The Company values its investments in wealth management products issued by banks and pledged deposits placed with a financial institution classified as short-term investments in the consolidated balance sheets (Note 2(k)) using quoted subscription or redemption prices published by the banks and financial institution. Accordingly, the Company classifies the valuation techniques that use these inputs as Level 2. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, time deposits, restricted cash, accounts receivable, amount due from an equity investee, rebates receivable, accounts payable, other financial assets and liabilities approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Group for debt with similar terms, the carrying amounts of the short-term bank borrowings approximate their fair values (using Level 2 inputs). The Group values its listed equity securities using quoted prices for the underlying securities in active markets. Accordingly, the Group classifies the valuation techniques that use these inputs as Level 1. The Group measures an equity investment accounted for using the equity method at fair value on a non-recurring basis only if an impairment charge were to be recognized. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020, no impairments were recorded on the asset required to be measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. 2 Principal accounting policies (Continued) (e) Fair value of financial instruments (Continued) Equity investments accounted for using the net asset value per share as a practical expedient (Note 2(j)) and measurement alternative (Note 2(m)) are generally not categorized in the fair value hierarchy. However, if equity investments without readily determinable fair values accounted for using the measurement alternative were re-measured during the year, they would be classified within Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy because the Group estimated the value of the investments based on valuation methods using the observable transaction price at the transaction date and other unobservable inputs. The Group adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”), which eliminates, adds and modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements, on January 1, 2020. ASU 2018-13 removed the following disclosure requirements: (i) the amount of, and reasons for, transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy; (ii) the policy for timing of transfers between levels; and (iii) the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. This ASU added the following disclosure requirements: (i) the changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income (“OCI”) for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period; and (ii) the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. The Group has considered the guidance in its disclosures on reconciliation of the changes in level 3 instruments under the fair value hierarchy for the years ended December 2019 and 2020. See Note 3(c) for additional information. |
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash | (f) Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash in bank and time deposits placed with banks or other financial institutions, which have original maturities of three months or less and are readily convertible to known amounts of cash. Restricted cash represented bank deposits in accounts that are restricted as to withdrawal or usage. For restriction which is expected to be released within one year of the balance sheet date, the respective restricted cash balance is classified as current. As of December 31, 2019 and 2020, the Group’s restricted cash mainly represents balance held in restricted bank accounts as required by certain loan agreements and escrow amount deposited for a business acquisition. In November 2016, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statements of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash, which requires companies to include amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in cash and cash equivalents when reconciling beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts presented in the statement of cash flows. The Group has adopted this new guidance on January 1, 2018, using the retrospective transition method. Following the adoption of this guidance in 2018: • Amounts generally described as restricted cash were presented with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the consolidated statements of cash flows. • No impact to the consolidated statements of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2018 as there was no restricted cash during the year. • The Group also added a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash to the consolidated statements of cash flows. |
Time deposits | (g) Time deposits Time deposits represent demand deposits placed with banks with original maturities of more than three months but less than one year. Interest income is recognized using the effective interest method in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss during the periods. Time deposits are valued based on the prevailing interest rates in the market. |
Accounts receivable, net | (h) Accounts receivable are presented net of allowance for credit losses. The Group evaluates its accounts receivable for expected credit losses on a regular basis. The Group maintains an estimated allowance for credit losses which reflects its best estimate of amounts that potentially will not be collected. The Group uses various credit quality indicators including but not limited to historical collection experience and credit-worthiness of the customers as well as the age of the receivables balance to monitor the Group’s receivables within the scope of expected credit losses model and use these as a basis to develop the Group’s expected loss estimates. Additionally, the Group makes specific allowance in the period based on any specific knowledge the Group has acquired that might indicate that an individual account is uncollectible. The facts and circumstances of each account may require the Group to use substantial judgment in assessing its collectability. See Note 2(j) for current expected credit losses upon adoption of ASC 326. |
Rebates receivable | (i) Rebates receivable Rebates receivable represent sales rebates that have already been earned but not received from third party publishers. The Group earns its rebates from purchasing advertising spaces from these website publishers. |
Current expected credit losses upon adoption of ASC 326 | ( j ) Current expected credit losses upon adoption of ASC 326 In 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASC 326”), which amends previously issued guidance regarding the impairment of financial instruments by creating an impairment model that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Subsequently, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, to clarify that receivables arising from operating leases are within the scope of lease accounting standards. Further, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-04, ASU No. 2019-05, ASU 2019-10, ASU 2019-11, ASU 2020-02 and ASU 2020-03 to provide additional guidance on the credit losses standard. The Group adopted ASC 326 and several associated ASUs on January 1, 2020 using a modified retrospective approach, resulting in a net adjustment of US$3,972 to the opening balance of accumulated losses with a corresponding credit loss provision over accounts receivable being recognized in the consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2020. As of December 31, 2020, the credit loss provision for accounts receivable being recognized in consolidated balance sheet amounted to US$11,749. 2 Principal accounting policies (Continued) (j) Current expected credit losses upon adoption of ASC 326 (Continued) The Group’s accounts receivable, amount due from an equity investee, rebates receivable and other current assets are within the scope of ASC Topic 326. The Group has identified the relevant risk characteristics of its customers and the related receivables and other current assets which include size, type of the services the Group provides, or a combination of these characteristics. Receivables with similar risk characteristics have been grouped into pools for collective evaluation. Receivables that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. Receivables evaluated individually are not included in the collective evaluation. For each pool for collective evaluation, the Group considers the historical credit loss experience, current economic conditions, supportable forecasts of future economic conditions, and any recoveries in assessing the lifetime expected credit losses. Other key factors that influence the expected credit loss analysis include customer demographics, payment terms offered in the normal course of business to customers, and industry-specific factors that could impact the Group’s receivables. Additionally, external data and macroeconomic factors are also considered. This is assessed at each quarter based on the Group’s specific facts and circumstances. The following table presents the movement in the allowance for credit losses for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020. For the years ended December 31, 2018 2019 2020 Balance at the beginning of year prior to ASC Topic 326 1,478 1,507 3,469 Adoption of ASC Topic 326 - - 3,972 Balance at the beginning of year 1,478 1,507 7,441 Provision for the year 92 1,995 6,587 Accounts receivable written off (15 ) - (2,621 ) Exchange differences (48 ) (33 ) 342 Balance at the end of year 1,507 3,469 11,749 |
Short-term investments | (k) Short-term investments Short-term investments represent the Group’s investments in listed equity securities, fund investments, wealth management products, and pledged deposits. (i) Fund investments Fund investments over which the Group does not have the ability to exercise significant influence, are required to be measured at fair value under ASC 321 “Investments—Equity Securities” (“ASC 321”). The Group has adopted the practical expedient in ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”) to estimate fair value using the net asset value per share (or its equivalent) of these investments which were without readily determinable fair value. Fund investments included in the consolidated balance sheet as short-term investments as of December 31, 2020 amounted to US$11,097 and the change in fair value recorded in consolidated statement of comprehensive loss under “other gains, net” for the year ended December 31, 2020 amounted to US$187. There were no fund investments as of December 31, 2019 and no change in fair values for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2019. 2 Principal accounting policies (Continued) (k) Short-term investments (Continued) (ii) Listed equity securities Investments in listed equity securities are reported at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets and the unrealized gains and losses are recorded in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss under ASU 2016-01. Listed equity securities recorded in the consolidated balance sheet as short-term investments as of December 31, 2020 amounted to US$2,342 and the change in fair value recorded in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss under “other gains, net” for the year ended December 31, 2020 amounted to US$1,157. There were no listed equity securities as of December 31, 2019 and no change in fair values for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2019. (iii) Wealth management products Wealth management products are issued by banks in the PRC which are redeemable by the Group at any time. They are unsecured with variable interest rates and primarily invested in debt securities issued by the PRC government, corporate debt securities and central bank bills. The Group measures these investments at fair value using the quoted subscription or redemption prices published by the bank. Wealth management products recorded in the consolidated balance sheet as short-term investments as of December 31, 2020 amounted to US$700 (2019: US$Nil) and the change in fair values recorded in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss under “other gains, net” amounted to US$25, US$107 and US$52 for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020, respectively. (iv) Pledged deposits Investments in pledged deposits are placed with a financial institution in Hong Kong which are redeemable by the Group at any time with 1-day notice, secured by certain listed equity securities and interest bearing at a fixed rate of 0.2% per annum. The Group measures these investments at fair value using the quoted subscription or redemption prices published by the financial institution. Pledged deposits recorded in the consolidated balance sheet as short-term investments as of December 31, 2020 amounted to US$9,581 and the change in fair values recorded in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss under “other gains, net” for the year ended December 31, 2020 amounted to US$8. There were no pledged deposits as of December 31, 2019 and no change in fair values for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2019. |
Investments in equity investee | (l) Investment in an equity investee Investment in an equity investee represents the Group's investment in a privately held company. The Group applies the equity method to account for an equity investment in common stock or in-substance common stock, according to ASC 323 “Investment — Equity Method and Joint Ventures,” over which it has significant influence but does not own a majority equity interest or otherwise control. Under the equity method, the Group initially records the investments at cost and the difference between the cost of the equity investee and the fair value of the underlying net assets of the equity investee is recognized as equity method goodwill and intangible assets acquired, which is included in the equity method investments on the consolidated balance sheets. The Group subsequently adjusts the carrying amount of the investments to recognize its (i) proportionate share of each equity investee’s post-acquisition net income or loss into earnings, (ii) share of post-acquisition movements in accumulated other comprehensive income into other comprehensive income, and (iii) cash distributions from investees, after the date of investment. When the Group's share of loss in the equity investee equals or exceeds its interest in the equity investee, the Group does not recognize further loss, unless the Group has incurred obligations or made payments or guarantees on behalf of the equity investee. The Group evaluates its equity method investment for impairment under ASC 323-10. An impairment loss on the equity method investment is recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss when the decline in value is determined to be other-than-temporary. No impairment loss has been recorded during the years ended December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020. |
Other long-term investments | (m) Other long-term investments The Group’s other long-term investments as of December 31, 2019 and 2020 consist of equity securities without readily determinable fair value. The Group adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 321 “Investments—Equity Securities” on January 1, 2018 and is required to measure its equity investments at fair value and any changes in fair value are recognized in earnings. For equity securities without readily determinable fair value and does not qualify for the existing practical expedient in ASC 820 to estimate fair value using the net asset value per share (or its equivalent) of the investments, the Group elected to use the measurement alternative to measure its equity 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. |
Property and equipment, net | ( n ) Property and equipment, net Property and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment loss, if any. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives are as follows: Leasehold improvements Over the shorter of lease term or 2 – 5 years Furniture and fixtures 2 – 5 years Office equipment 3 – 5 years Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. The gain or loss on the disposal of property and equipment is the difference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the relevant assets and is recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss. |
Acquisitions | ( o ) Acquisitions (i ) The Group accounts for acquisitions of entities that include inputs and processes and have the ability to create outputs as business combinations. The Group accounts for its business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805 “Business Combinations” (“ASC 805”). The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the fair values at the date of exchange of the assets given, liabilities incurred, and equity instruments issued. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets and liabilities acquired or assumed are measured separately at their fair values as of the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any non-controlling interests. The excess of (i) the total costs of acquisition, fair value of the non-controlling interests and acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest in the acquiree over (ii) the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the acquiree is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized directly in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss as gain on bargain purchase. During the measurement period, which can be up to one year from the acquisition date, the Group may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the values of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss. (ii) Assets acquisition ASC 805-10-55-5A, which sets forth a screen test, provides that if substantially all of the fair value of the assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets, the assets acquired are not considered to be a business. The acquisition should be accounted for by the Company as an asset acquisition in accordance with ASC 805-50, rather than as a business combination. Under an asset acquisition, the cost to acquire the group of assets is allocated to the individual assets acquired or liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values. |
Intangible assets, net | ( p ) Intangible assets, net Intangible assets mainly consist of computer software licenses purchased from external parties and computer software and systems, developed technologies, customer relationship, brand name, contract backlog and advertising contract acquired through the acquisitions of subsidiaries. Identifiable intangible assets are carried at acquisition cost less accumulated amortization and impairment loss, if any. Amortization of finite lived intangible assets is computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives, which are as follows: Computer software and systems 2 – 5 years Developed technologies 5 years Customer relationship 4 – 5 years Brand name 4 years Contract backlog 3 years Advertising contract 30 years |
Impairment of goodwill and Impairment of long-lived assets and intangible assets | ( q ) Impairment of goodwill The Group adopted ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment on January 1, 2020, and in accordance with the FASB, a company first has the option to assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. In the qualitative assessment, the Company considers primary factors such as industry and market considerations, overall financial performance of the reporting unit, and other specific information related to the operations, business plans and strategies of the reporting unit, including consideration of the impact of the COVID-19. If the Company decides, as a result of its qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the quantitative impairment test is mandatory. Otherwise, no further testing is required. The quantitative impairment test consists of a comparison of the fair value of each reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the carrying amount of each reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss equal to the difference will be recorded. Application of a goodwill impairment test requires significant management judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assigning assets and liabilities to reporting units, assigning goodwill to reporting units, and determining the fair value of each reporting unit. The judgment in estimating the fair value of reporting units includes estimating future cash flows, determining appropriate discount rates and making other assumptions. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value for each reporting unit. The Group performs goodwill impairment testing at the reporting unit level on December 31 annually. No impairment of goodwill was recognized for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020. (r) Impairment of other long-lived assets and intangible assets For other long-lived assets including property and equipment and amortizable intangible assets, the Group evaluates for impairment whenever events or changes (triggering events) indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may no longer be recoverable. The Group assesses the recoverability of the long-lived assets by comparing the carrying value of the long-lived assets to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to receive from use of the assets and their eventual disposition. Such assets are considered to be impaired if the sum of the expected undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the assets. The impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. |
Lease accounting | (s) Lease accounting On January 1, 2019, the Group adopted ASC 842, which requires the recognition of the right-of-use assets (“ROU assets”), and related lease liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets using a modified retrospective approach. The consolidated financial statements related to periods prior to January 1, 2019 were not restated, and continue to be reported under ASC Topic 840—Leases ("ASC 840"), which did not require the recognition of operating lease liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. As a result the consolidated financial statements related to periods prior to January 1, 2019 are not entirely comparative with current and future periods. As permitted under ASC 842, the Group elected several practical expedients that permit the Group to not reassess (1) whether existing contracts are or contain a lease, (2) the classification of existing leases, and (3) whether previously capitalized costs continue to qualify as initial indirect costs. In addition, the Group has elected not to recognize short-term leases on the consolidated balance sheets. In addition, the Group did not use hindsight to determine lease term. For the identified leases, the Group used its incremental borrowing rate to discount the related future payment obligations as of January 1, 2019 to determine its lease liability as of the adoption date. As of the adoption date on January 1, 2019, the Group recognized lease liabilities of US$2,634 and corresponding ROU assets of US$2,634, with no equity impact from the adoption. The Group records rent expense for operating leases, including leases of office premises, on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Group begins recognition of rent expense on the commencement date, which is generally the date that the asset is made available for use. The lease liability is included in lease liabilities, current and lease liabilities, non-current within the consolidated balance sheets, which are reduced as lease related payments are made. The ROU asset is amortized on a periodic basis over the expected term of the lease. See Note 14 for additional information. |
Deferred revenue | (t) Deferred revenue The Group receives prepayments for services in advance of service performance from certain customers. The amounts received in advance are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized as revenue in the period which the corresponding services are performed. |
Derivative financial instrument | (u) Derivative financial instrument ASC 815, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“ASC 815”) requires every derivative financial instrument (including certain derivative financial instruments embedded in other contracts) to be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value as either an asset or a liability. ASC 815 also requires that changes in the fair value of recorded derivatives be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. The Group’s derivative financial instrument included the call option written to the investor to purchase the convertible notes issued in July 2020 classifies as “derivative liabilities” (the “Call Option”). For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Group recognized fair value losses of US$11,466 on the derivative liabilities. The Call Option was exercised by the investor on July 30, 2020. There was no derivative financial instrument as of December 31, 2019 and 2020. |
Convertible notes | (v) Convertible notes The Group determines the appropriate accounting treatment of its convertible notes in accordance with the terms in relation to the conversion feature, call and put option, and beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”). After considering the impact of such features, the Group may account for such instrument as a liability in its entirety, or separate the instrument into debt and equity components following the respective guidance described under ASC 815 and ASC 470 “Debt”. The conversion features of the convertible notes of the Group meets the definition of a derivative whereby no BCF shall be separately accounted for. Moreover, the Group has elected the fair value option for convertible notes accounted for as a liability in its entirety whereby the conversion features that meet the definition of a derivative are not bifurcated given that the entire debt instrument is legally a single contract therefore not to be separated into parts for purposes of applying the fair value option. Such fair value option permits the irrevocable election on an instrument-by-instrument basis at initial recognition of an asset or liability or upon an event, that gives rise to a new basis of accounting for that instrument. The convertible notes accounted for under the fair value option are carried at fair value with realized or unrealized gains and losses recorded in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. Convertible notes are classified as current liabilities if they are convertible or redeemable on demand or if their due date is or will be within one year from the balance sheet date. |
Treasury shares | ( w ) Treasury shares The Company accounted for those shares repurchased as treasury shares at cost in accordance with ASC 505-30, and the treasury shares acquired are shown separately in shareholders’ equity as the Company has not yet decided on the ultimate disposition of those shares. If and when the Company cancels the treasury shares, the difference between the original issuance price and the repurchase price will be debited into additional paid-in capital. |
Revenue recognition and cost of revenues | ( x ) Revenue recognition and cost of revenues The following table presents our revenue recognized from contracts with customers disaggregated by the four types of pricing models: For the years ended December 31, 2018 2019 2020 Recognized over time - Sales agent 8,671 6,563 5,834 - Cost-plus 12,192 17,146 26,738 - SaaS products offering - 8,687 28,545 20,863 32,396 61,117 Recognized at point in time - Specified actions 139,154 165,263 193,280 - SaaS products offering - 1,749 348 139,154 167,012 193,628 Total 160,017 199,408 254,745 2 Principal accounting policies (Continued) ( x ) Revenue recognition and cost of revenues (Continued) The Group’s Marketing Solutions service offerings are the provisions of online marketing services. The Group utilizes a combination of pricing models and revenue is recognized when the related services are delivered based on the specific terms of the contract, which are commonly based on (i) agreed incentive to be earned for being a sales agent of a publisher, (ii) cost-plus or (iii) specified actions (i.e. cost per impression (“CPM”), cost per click (“CPC”), cost per action (“CPA”), cost per sale (“CPS”), cost per lead (“CPL”) or return on investment (“ROI”)) and related campaign budgets, depending on the customers’ preferences and their campaigns launched. Subsequent to the acquisition of Changyi and its subsidiary Suzhou Changyi (together, “Changyi Group”) on January 1, 2019, the Group also offers the Enterprise Solutions via the offering of SaaS products. The Group recognizes revenue when the Group satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised service to a customer. The Group considers the following when determining if a contract exists under which the performance obligations have been satisfied: (i) contract approval by all parties, (ii) identification of each party’s rights regarding the goods or services to be transferred, (iii) specified payment terms, (iv) commercial substance of the contract, and (v) collectability of substantially all of the consideration is probable. Collectability is assessed based on a number of factors, including the creditworthiness of a customer, the size and nature of a customer’s business and transaction history. Revenues are recorded net of value-added taxes. Sales agent In the arrangement with a particular publisher, the Group acts as a sales agent for this publisher in selling marketing spaces to marketing clients. In return, the Group earns incentives from this publisher based on contractually stipulated amounts when certain spending thresholds are achieved. The Group considers this particular publisher as a customer and record such incentives as net revenues. Incentives from this publisher are calculated on both a quarterly and an annual basis in accordance with the terms as set out in the arrangement. Revenue under this arrangement is recognized over time given the Group considers this particular publisher simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Group's performance as the Group performs. In other words, when the Group purchases marketing spaces on behalf of the marketing clients throughout the marketing campaigns as requested by them, this particular publisher simultaneously receives and consumes the benefit of the marketing spaces being purchased and therefore the Group is entitled to incentive payment from this publisher. The Group grants rebates to marketing clients under the sales agent arrangement. The majority of marketing clients under this arrangement are not customers under either the cost-plus arrangement or specified actions arrangement. The Group records rebates granted to such marketing clients as reduction of revenue. Cost-plus For cost-plus advertisement campaigns, sales are recognized at the fair value of the amount received. Discounts granted to marketing clients under cost-plus marketing campaigns are recorded as a reduction of revenue. The determination of whether revenue should be reported on a gross or net basis is based on an assessment of whether the Group is acting as the principal or an agent in the transactions. In the normal course of business, the Group acts as an intermediary in executing transactions between website publishers and marketing clients. The specified service in the cost-plus arrangement is the provision of marketing space, which is controlled by the website publishers, rather than the Group. The Group assists the marketing clients to place orders with specific website publishers based on specification set out the marketing clients. The Group does not have the ability to direct the use of marketing space and does not have any inventory risk. Pricing is generally based on the actual advertising spending incurred by the marketing clients plus a margin. Accordingly, the Group concludes that it is not the principal in these arrangements and reports revenue earned and costs incurred related to these transactions on a net basis. 2 Principal accounting policies (Continued) ( x ) Revenue recognition and cost of revenues (Continued) Cost-plus (Continued) Revenue under this arrangement is recognized over time as the Group considers its customers simultaneously receive and consume the benefits provided by the Group's performance. At the time the Group purchases marketing spaces during the contract term for its customers, the customers’ advertisements could be placed throughout the marketing campaign. Revenue recognition under this arrangement is not based on an occurrence of significant act or milestone method. Throughout the various services delivered to clients under the cost-plus arrangements, the Group earns rebates from publishers and grant rebates to marketing clients. The rebates that the Group grants to marketing clients under cost-plus arrangement are recorded as reduction of revenue and are recorded based on the amount the marketing clients would ultimately need to spend to earn the corresponding level of rebates. The Group is also able to reasonably estimate the spending the customers can ultimately achieve based on the historical spending patterns of the customers with similar arrangements. The rebates that the Group receives from publishers under the cost-plus arrangements are recorded as revenue. These rebates are recognized when a particular milestone is achieved (i.e. applying the relevant rebates based on the level of spending threshold actually achieved) and spending has actually occurred. Specified actions The Group also generates revenue from performing specified actions (i.e. a CPM, CPC, CPA, CPS, CPL or ROI basis). Revenue is recognized on a CPM or CPC basis as impressions or clicks are delivered while revenue on a CPA, CPS, CPL or ROI basis is recognized once agreed actions are performed. For the specified actions advertisement campaigns, the Group is the principal as it has the obligation to deliver successful actions requested by marketing clients. Also, the Group will only be paid if successful actions can be delivered and is exposed to risk of loss. In terms of pricing, the Group has complete latitude in establishing the selling prices of each of the CPM, CPC, CPA, CPS, CPL or ROI pricing model. The Group's margin may vary as the costs incurred to deliver successful actions may vary and is therefore exposed to risk of loss whereby validating its degree of responsibility to its customers. Although the inventory risk under specified actions arrangement is considered to be low, the Group concludes that it is the principal in such arrangement as it is the principal ultimately responsible for delivering successful actions and in charge of establishing the price per action. Accordingly, the Group reports revenue earned and costs incurred related to these transactions on a gross basis. Revenues under this arrangement is recognized at point-in-time when the Group is able to deliver the specified actions as requested by the customers. Upon the occurrence of the specified actions, the customers take control of the specified actions and this is when the Group recognizes the corresponding revenue. Unlike the cost-plus arrangement, when the Group purchases marketing spaces in order to deliver the specified actions, the customers do not receive and consume the benefit as the benefit to be received by the customers is the occurrence of the specified actions. Also, the Group does not create or enhance an asset that the customers control as the marketing spaces ultimately belong to the publishers. The Group does not have any right to payment for simply purchasing the marketing spaces and would only be compensated upon delivery of the specified actions. The Group also grants rebates to marketing clients under the specified actions arrangement. Same as the treatment under cost-plus arrangement, the rebates that the Group grants to marketing clients under cost-plus arrangement are recorded as reduction of revenue and are recorded based on the amount the marketing clients would ultimately need to spend to earn the corresponding level of rebates. The rebates that the Group receives from publishers under the specified actions arrangement are recorded as a reduction of cost of revenues. These rebates are recognized when a particular milestone is achieved (i.e. applying the relevant rebates based on the level of spending threshold actually achieved) and spending has actually occurred. 2 Principal accounting policies (Continued) ( x ) Revenue recognition and cost of revenues (Continued) Specified actions (Continued) Cost of revenues consists of the costs to purchase space for the online marketing operations, amortization expenses related to the Group's computer software and systems, salaries and benefits of relevant operations and support personnel and depreciation of relevant property and equipment depreciation. The Group becomes obligated to make payments related to website publishers in the period the marketing impressions and click-through occur. Such expenses are classified as cost of revenues in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss as incurred. Cost of revenues also includes rebates received from website publishers which are recorded as a reduction of cost of revenues when the Group is acting as a principal in a transaction. Following recent reforms of PRC tax laws, business tax is gradually being replaced by VAT, which is recorded as a reduction of revenue. SaaS products offering Under this arrangement, the Group offers SaaS products which are cloud-hosted software offering Enterprise Solutions to customers through provision of software licenses and retail and customer relationship management (“CRM”) solutions. Revenues under this arrangement primarily consist of fees for (i) licensing to provide customers with access to one or more of the existing cloud applications for e-commerce, marketing and customer management, (ii) the development of new cloud applications customized for individual customer, and (iii) various combinations of technical support and maintenance services provided by the Group. Contracts with customers under this arrangement are generally with a term of 1 to 24 months. Revenues from licensing of existing cloud applications are generally recognized ratably over time over the contract term beginning on the date that the licensing service is made available to the customer, whereby the Group considers that its customers simultaneously receive and consume the benefits provided by the use of existing cloud applications. The Group does not have other right to consideration in exchange for goods or service that the Group has transferred to a customer when that right is conditional on something other than the passage of time. Revenues of developing new cloud applications exclusively customized for customers is recognized at point-in-time when the Group is able to deliver the cloud applications to customers. The Group considers the transfer of control of new cloud applications to customer, which represents a distinct performance obligation, to be completed when such cloud applications are on-premise and fully functional such that the customer can use and benefit from the cloud applications on its own. Besides, the Group also provides certain additional maintenance services along with the above arrangements of cloud application development and licensing, such as technical support and bug fixes. These additional maintenance services are considered to be a series of distinct services that are substantially the same and have the same duration and measure of progress; therefore, the Group concludes that they represent a separate combined performance obligation. Revenues from such additional maintenance services are recognized ratably over-time over the contract period. The respective stand-alone selling prices of each of these performance obligations are determined based upon observable prices in stand-alone transactions and contractually stated price whereby no allocation of selling prices among individual performance obligations are required. Cost of revenues for SaaS products primarily comprises amortization expenses related to the Group’s computer software and systems, salaries and benefits of relevant operations and support personnel, depreciation of relevant property and equipment and other direct service costs. 2 Principal accounting policies (Continued) ( x ) Revenue recognition and cost of revenues (Continued) Contract balances Timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. Accounts receivable represent amounts invoiced and revenue recognized prior to invoicing when the Group has satisfied its performance obligations and has the unconditional right to payment. The Group normally does not have contract assets, which are primarily unbilled accounts receivable that are conditional on something other than the passage of time. Deferred revenue represents contract liabilities which related to unsatisfied performance obligations at the end of the period. Due to the generally short-term duration of the contracts, the majority of the performance obligations are satisfied in the following reporting period. Revenue recognized during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020, respectively, relating to deferred revenue as of January 1, 2019 and 2020 was US$15,768 and US$15,760, respectively. For the amount remained as deferred revenue as of January 1, 2019 and 2020, respectively, but not recognized as revenue during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020, respectively, there is still a contractual obligation for the Group to provide service whereby the Group is not obliged to make any refund of the amount received from customers. Such amount will be recognized as revenue when all of the revenue recognition criteria are met. Revenue recognized in the current period from performance obligations related to prior periods was not material. Practical Expedients The Group has used the following practical expedients as allowed under ASC 606: (i) The transaction price allocated to the performance obligations that are unsatisfied, or partially unsatisfied, has not been disclosed as substantially all of the Group’s contracts have a duration of one year or less. (ii) Payment terms and conditions vary by contract type, although terms generally include a requirement of prepayment or payment within one year or less. In instances where the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of invoicing, the Group has determined that its contracts generally do not include a significant financing component. (iii) The Group generally expenses sales commissions when incurred because the amortization period would be one year or less. These costs are recorded within sales and marketing expenses. |
Prepaid media costs | ( y ) Prepaid media costs Prepaid media costs represent prepayments for online space paid by the Group to third party publishers of websites. Upon utilization, media costs are recognized in cost of revenues when the Group is determined as acting as the principal. However, when the Group is determined as acting as the agent, those costs are recognized as deduction to revenue by the Group. These prepayments are classified as current considering the corresponding online spaces are expected to be purchased and utilized within twelve months from the date of payments. |
Research and development expenses | ( z ) Research and development expenses Research and development expenses consist primarily of (i) salary and welfare for research and development personnel, (ii) leases expenses and (iii) depreciation of office premise and servers utilized by research and development personnel. Costs incurred during the research stage are expensed as incurred. Costs incurred in the development stage, prior to the establishment of technological feasibility, which is when a working model is available, are expensed when incurred. The Group accounts for internal use software development costs in accordance with guidance on intangible assets and internal use software. This requires capitalization of qualifying costs incurred during the software’s application development stage and to expense costs as they are incurred during the preliminary project and post implementation/operation stages. |
Sales and marketing expenses | (aa ) Sales and marketing expenses Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of (i) advertising and marketing expenses, and (ii) salary and welfare for sales and marketing personnel. Advertising expenses are recorded as sales and marketing expenses when incurred, and totaled US$4,574, US$13,084 and US$8,658 for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020, respectively. |
General and administrative expenses | (a b ) General and administrative expenses General and administrative expenses consist primarily of (i) salary and welfare for general and administrative personnel, (ii) professional service fees, and (iii) allowance for credit losses. |
Employee social security and welfare benefits | (a c ) Employee social security and welfare benefits Employees of the Group in the PRC are entitled to staff welfare benefits including pension, work-related injury benefits, maternity insurance, medical insurance, unemployment benefit and housing fund plans through a PRC government-mandated multi-employer defined contribution plan. The Group is required to contribute to the plan based on certain percentages of the employees’ salaries, up to a maximum amount specified by the local government. The PRC government is responsible for the medical benefits and the pension liability to be paid to these employees and the Group’s obligations are limited to the amounts contributed and no legal obligation beyond the contributions made. The Group also makes payments to other defined contribution plans for employees employed by subsidiaries outside the PRC. |
Non-controlling interests | (a d ) Non-controlling interests The non-controlling interests are presented in the consolidated balance sheets, separately from equity attributable to the shareholders of the Company. Non-controlling interests are presented on the face of the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss as an allocation of the total income or loss for the year between non-controlling interests holders and the shareholders of the Company. |
Income taxes | (a e ) Income taxes Current income taxes are provided on the basis of net income for financial reporting purposes, adjusted for income and expense items which are not assessable or deductible for income tax purposes, in accordance with the regulations of the relevant tax jurisdictions. Deferred income taxes are accounted for using an asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of temporary differences by applying enacted statutory rates applicable to future years to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities. The tax base of an asset or liability is the amount attributed to that asset or liability for tax purpose. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss in the period of change. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the amount of deferred tax assets if it is considered more likely than not that some portion of, or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Uncertain tax positions The guidance on accounting for uncertainties in income taxes prescribes a more likely than not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Guidance was also provided on derecognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, accounting for income taxes in interim periods, and income tax disclosures. Significant judgment is required in evaluating the Group’s uncertain tax positions and determining its provision for income taxes. The Group recognizes interests and penalties, if any, under accrued expenses and other current liabilities on its consolidated balance sheets and under other expenses in its statements of comprehensive loss. The Group did not recognize any significant interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020. As of December 31, 2019 and 2020, the Group did not have any significant unrecognized uncertain tax positions. |
Share-based compensation | (a f ) Share-based compensation The Company grants stock-based awards, including share options, restricted share units and warrants of the Company, to eligible employees, officers, directors, and non-employee consultants. The Company accounts for share-based awards granted to employees in accordance with ASC 718, "Compensation - Stock Compensation" and share-based awards granted to non-employees in accordance with ASC subtopic, 505-50 (“ASC 505-50”), “Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees”. ASC 505. On January 1, 2019, the Group adopted ASU 2018-07, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvement to Nonemployee Share-based Payment Accounting to amend the accounting for share-based payment awards issued to non-employees. Under ASU 2018-07, the accounting for awards to non-employees are similar to the model for employee awards. Option and RSUs granted to employees Under the fair value recognition provisions of ASC 718-10, share-based compensation costs are measured at the grant date. The share-based compensation expenses have been categorized as either general and administrative expenses, sales and marketing expenses or research and development expenses, depending on the job functions of the grantees. For the options and RSUs granted to employees, the compensation expense is recognized using the graded-vesting attribution approach over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant, with such estimate updated periodically and with actual forfeitures recognized currently to the extent they differ from the estimate. In determining the fair value of the Company’s share options, the binomial option pricing model has been applied. The fair value of RSUs is determined with reference to the fair value of the underlying shares. Option modification According to ASC 718, a change in any of the terms or conditions of equity based awards shall be accounted for as a modification of the award. Therefore, the Group calculates incremental compensation cost of a modification as the excess of the fair value of the modified option over the fair value of the original option immediately before its terms are modified. For vested options, the Group would recognize incremental compensation costs on the date of modification and for unvested options, the Group would recognize, prospectively and over the remaining requisite service period, the sum of the incremental compensation costs and the remaining unrecognized compensation costs for the original award. Option, RSUs and warrants granted to non-employees Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2018-07”), which expands the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment awards to nonemployees. As a result, stock-based awards granted to consultants and non-employees are accounted for in the same manner as awards granted to employees as described above. The impact of adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements. Prior to the adoption of ASU 2018-07, for share-based awards granted to non-employees, the Company accounted for the related share-based compensation expenses in accordance with ASC subtopic, 505-50 (“ASC 505-50”), “Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees”. Under the provision of ASC 505-50, these options, RSUs and warrants are measured as of the earlier of the date at which either: (1) commitment for performance by the non-employee has been reached; or (2) the non-employee’s performance is complete. Options and warrants of the Company issued to non-employees are measured based on fair value of the options and warrants which are determined by using the binomial option pricing model and RSUs of the Company issued to non-employees are measured based on fair value of the RSUs which are determined with reference to the fair value of the underlying shares. |
Government subsidies | (a g ) Government subsidies The Group receives subsidies from the local PRC government for general use. General-use subsidies which are not subject to any conditions or specific use requirements are recorded as subsidy income in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. |
Statutory reserves | (a h ) Statutory reserves The Company’s subsidiaries, a consolidated VIE and its subsidiaries incorporated in the PRC are required on an annual basis to make appropriations of retained earnings set at certain percentage of after-tax profit determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations (“PRC GAAP”). Appropriation to the statutory general reserve should be at least 10% of the after tax net income determined in accordance with the legal requirements in the PRC until the reserve is equal to 50% of the entities’ registered capital. The Group is not required to make appropriation to other reserve funds and the Group does not have any intentions to make appropriations to any other reserve funds. The general reserve fund can only be used for specific purposes, such as setting off the accumulated losses, enterprise expansion or increasing the registered capital. Appropriations to the general reserve funds are classified in the consolidated balance sheets as statutory reserves. There are no legal requirements in the PRC to fund these reserves by transfer of cash to restricted accounts, and the Group was not done so. Relevant laws and regulations permit payments of dividends by the PRC subsidiaries and affiliated companies only out of their retained earnings, if any, as determined in accordance with respective accounting standards and regulations. Accordingly, the above balances are not allowed to be transferred to the Company in terms of cash dividends, loans or advances. |
Related parties | (a i ) Related parties Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Parties are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or significant influence, such as a family member or relative, shareholder, or a related corporation. |
Dividends | (a j ) Dividends Dividends are recognized when declared. No dividends were declared for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020, respectively. The Group does not have any present plan to pay any dividends on ordinary shares in the foreseeable future. The Group currently intends to retain the available funds and any future earnings to operate and expand its business. |
Loss per share | (a k ) Loss per share Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to holders of ordinary shares by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year using the two class method. The Group uses the two-class method to calculate net loss per share though both classes share the same rights in dividends. Therefore, basic and diluted loss per share are the same for both classes of ordinary shares. Using the two class method, net loss is allocated between ordinary shares based on their participating rights. Diluted loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders as adjusted for the effect of dilutive ordinary equivalent shares, if any, by the weighted average number of ordinary and dilutive ordinary equivalents shares outstanding during the year. Dilutive equivalent shares are excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share if their effects would be anti-dilutive. Ordinary share equivalents consist of the ordinary shares issuable in connection with the Group’s convertible notes and ordinary shares issuable upon the conversion of the stock options and warrants and vesting of RSUs, using the treasury stock method. |
Comprehensive loss | (a l ) Comprehensive loss Comprehensive loss is defined as the change in shareholders’ equity of the Group during a period arising from transactions and other events and circumstances excluding transactions resulting from investments by shareholders and distributions to shareholders. Comprehensive loss is reported in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. Accumulated other comprehensive losses of the Group include the foreign currency translation adjustments. |
Segment reporting | (a m ) Segment reporting Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), or decision making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The CODM is comprised of certain members of the Company's management team. The Group’s organizational structure is based on a number of factors that the CODM uses to evaluate, view and run its business operations which include, but are not limited to, customer base, homogeneity of products and technology. The Group’s operating segments are based on this organizational structure and information reviewed by the Group’s CODM to evaluate the operating segment results. Effective in the first quarter of 2019, the Group changed its segment disclosure to separately report the financial results of its Enterprise Solutions business in light of the acquisition of Changyi on January 1, 2019. This segment primarily reflects the results of the Group’s SaaS products offering. At the same time, the Group named its pre-existing online marketing service business as Marketing Solution business. Therefore, the Group now reports two operating segments: 1) Marketing Solutions, and 2) Enterprise Solutions. This change in segment reporting aligns with the manner in which the Group’s CODM currently receives and uses financial information to allocate resources and evaluate the performance of reporting segments. This change in segment presentation does not affect consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of comprehensive loss or consolidated statements of cash flows. The Group retrospectively revised prior period segment information, to conform to current period presentation. |
Recently issued accounting pronouncements | (a n ) Recently issued accounting pronouncements In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The amendments in this ASU simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. The amendments are effective for public entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Group did not early adopt and is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on its consolidated financial statements. In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-01, “Investments—Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)”, that clarifies the interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815. The amendments in this ASU affect the application of the measurement alternative for certain equity securities and the equity method of accounting, and guidance for certain forward contracts and purchased options to purchase securities, that, upon settlement or exercise, would be accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The ASU is effective for public entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Group did not early adopt and is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on its consolidated financial statements. In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The amendments in this update are effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The amendments in this update provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The ASU is currently not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. The ASU removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception and it also simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. The ASU is effective for public in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, , but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Group did not early adopt and is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on its consolidated financial statements. |

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Disclosure of current and deferred portions of income tax expense | The current and deferred portions of income tax expense included in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss are as follows: For the years ended December 31, 2018 2019 2020 Current income tax expense 1,561 1,130 2,784 Deferred tax benefits (906 ) (1,083 ) (1,151 ) Income tax expense 655 47 1,633 |
Disclosure of deferred tax assets and liabilities | Deferred taxes were measured using the enacted tax rates for the periods in which they are expected to be reversed. The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to the deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances as of December 31, 2019 and 2020 are as follows: As of December 31, 2019 2020 Deferred tax assets Tax losses carried forward 5,923 4,365 Share-based payments 831 759 Temporary difference on deferred income 202 194 Less: Valuation allowance (Note (i)) (5,923 ) (4,365 ) 1,033 953 Deferred tax liabilities Acquired intangible assets (894 ) (13,585 ) Outside basis difference (Note (ii)) (942 ) (542 ) Others (29 ) (29 ) (1,865 ) (14,156 ) Note: ( i ) Valuation allowance is provided against deferred tax assets when the Group determines that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be utilized in the future. In making such determination, the Group considered factors including future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and tax loss carryforwards. Valuation allowance was provided for net operating loss carryforwards because it was more likely than not that such deferred tax assets will not be realized based on the Group’s estimate of its future taxable income. If events occur in the future that allow the Group to realize more of its deferred income tax than the presently recorded amounts, an adjustment to the valuation allowances will result in a decrease in tax expense when those events occur. Movement of valuation allowance is as follows: For the years ended December 31, 2018 2019 2020 Beginning balance 7,573 6,385 5,923 Additions 199 801 1,144 Reversals (Note) (1,387 ) (1,263 ) (2,702 ) Ending balance 6,385 5,923 4,365 Note: The reversals comprise tax loss carryforwards which have been utilized to offset taxable income during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020, respectively, and tax loss carryforwards which were expired in 2019.
