Note 1 — Nature of business and organization (cont.)
Loan Agreement
Pursuant to the loan agreement dated December 24, 2020, Shenzhen Weiyixin agreed to provide loans to the registered shareholders of Shenzhen Yitian, to be used exclusively as investment in Shenzhen Yitian. The loan must not be used for any other purposes without the relevant lender’s prior written consent. The term of the loan agreement commences from the date of the agreement and ends on the date the lender exercises its exclusive option under the relevant exclusive share purchase option agreement, or when certain defined termination events occur, such as if the lender sends a written notice demanding repayment to the borrower, or upon the default of the borrower, whichever is earlier. After the lender exercises its exclusive option, the borrower may repay the loan by transferring all of its equity interest in the relevant onshore holding company to the lender, or a person or entity nominated by the lender, and use the proceeds of such transfer as repayment of the loan. If the proceeds of such transfer are equal to or less than the principal of the loan under the loan agreement, the loan is considered interest-free. If the proceeds of such transfer are higher than the principal of the loan under the loan agreement, any surplus is considered interest for the loan.

In addition, in the event that any spouse obtains any equity interest in Shenzhen Yitian held by his or her spouse for any reason, he or she agreed to be bound by the contractual arrangements.
Based on the foregoing contractual arrangements, which grant Shenzhen Weiyixin effective control of Shenzhen Yitian and enable Shenzhen Weiyixin to receive all of their expected residual returns, the Company accounts for Shenzhen Yitian as a VIE on December 24, 2020. The reorganization under common control did not result in change in reporting entities of the Company therefore no impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2020 and 2021.
Due to the business strategy adjustment, Shenzhen Yitian and its subsidiaries no longer operate the business involving foreign investment restrictions since March 1, 2022, therefore VIYI is able to have direct equity interest in Shenzhen Yitian and its subsidiaries. On April 1, 2022, VIYI terminated the agreements under the VIE structure with Shenzhen Yitian. Shenzhen Yitian’s original shareholders transferred their respective ownership to VIYI WFOE and VIYI WFOE obtained 100% equity control of Shenzhen Yitian and its subsidiaries on April 1, 2022. The reorganization has no effect on the consolidated financial statements as Shenzhen Yitian has been under common control of WiMi Cayman that there is no change of reporting entities.

Note 2 — Summary of significant accounting policies
Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), regarding financial reporting, and include all normal and recurring adjustments that management of the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of its financial position and operation results. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any other interim period or for the full year of 2022. Accordingly, these unaudited interim condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and note thereto as of and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2021.
Principles of consolidation
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries, which include the wholly-foreign owned enterprise (“WFOE”) and variable interest entity (“VIE”) and VIE’s subsidiaries over which the Company exercises control and, when applicable, entities for which the Company has a controlling financial interest or is the primary beneficiary. All transactions and balances among the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Use of estimates and assumptions
The preparation of unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Company’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the useful lives of property and equipment and intangible assets, impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill, allowance for doubtful accounts, provision for contingent liabilities, revenue recognition, deferred taxes and uncertain tax position, the fair value of contingent consideration related to business acquisitions. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Foreign currency translation and other comprehensive income (loss)
The Company uses Renminbi (“RMB”) as its reporting currency. The functional currency of the Company, its subsidiaries in Seychelles and Singapore and two subsidiaries, ICinit and VIDA, in Hong Kong is U.S. dollar, and its other subsidiaries which are incorporated in Hong Kong and PRC are Hong Kong Dollar and RMB, respectively, which are their respective local currencies based on the criteria of ASC 830, “Foreign Currency Matters”.
In the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, the financial information of the Company and other entities located outside of the PRC has been translated into RMB. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates on the balance sheet date, equity amounts are translated at historical exchange rates, and revenues, expenses, gains and losses are translated using the average rate for the period.
Translation adjustments included in accumulated other comprehensive loss amounted to RMB 54,970,351 and RMB 17,681,709 (USD 2,634,578) as of December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2022, respectively. The balance sheet amounts, with the exception of shareholders’ equity, on December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2022 were translated at RMB 1.00 to HKD 1.2231 and to HKD 1.1693, respectively. The average translation rates applied to statement of income accounts for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2022 were RMB 1.00 to HKD 1.1993 and to HKD 1.2071, respectively. The balance sheet amounts, with the exception of shareholders’ equity on December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2022 were translated at RMB 1.00 to USD 0.1568 and to USD 0.1490, respectively. The average translation rates applied to statement of income accounts for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2022 were RMB 1.00 to USD 0.1545 and to USD 0.1542, respectively. The shareholders’ equity accounts were stated at their historical rate. Cash flows are also translated at average translation rates for the periods, therefore, amounts reported on the statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Convenience translation
Translations of balances in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheets, unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of income and unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of cash flows from RMB into USD as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2022 are solely for the convenience of the reader and were calculated at the rate of RMB 1.00 to USD 0.1490, representing the mid-point reference rate set by Peoples’ Bank of China on December 31, 2021. No representation is made that the RMB amounts represent or could have been, or could be, converted, realized or settled into USD at that rate, or at any other rate.
Short-term investments
Short-term investments are investments in wealth management product with underlying in cash, bonds and equity funds. The investments can be redeemed any time and the investment was recorded at fair value. The gain (loss) from sale of any investments and fair value change are recognized in the statements of income and comprehensive income. The Company purchased approximately RMB 85.7 million and redeemed approximately RMB 84.5 million investments during six months ended June 30, 2022. Loss from short term investments for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2022 amounted to 4,450,914 and RMB 1,163,652 (USD 173,384), respectively.
Loans receivable

The loans have terms of one-year and are collateralized by real estate property for approximately RMB 24.0 million (USD 3.8 million). Management regularly reviews the aging of loans receivable and changes in payment trends and records allowances when management believes collection of amounts due are at risk. Loans receivable considered uncollectable are written off against allowances after exhaustive efforts at collection are made. As of June 30, 2022, no allowance was deemed necessary. Full amount of loans receivable was subsequently collected in May 2022.

Note 2 — Summary of significant accounting policies (cont.)
Revenue recognition
The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC Topic 606) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019. The ASU requires the use of a new five-step model to recognize revenue from customer contracts. The five-step model requires that the Company (i) identifies the contract with the customer, (ii) identifies the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determines the transaction price, including variable consideration to the extent that it is probable that a significant future reversal will not occur, (iv) allocates the transaction price to the respective performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognizes revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies the performance obligation.
The application of the five-step model to the revenue streams compared to the prior guidance did not result in significant changes in the way the Company records its revenue. Upon adoption, the Company evaluated its revenue recognition policy for all revenue streams within the scope of the ASU under previous standards and using the five-step model under the new guidance and confirmed that there were no differences in the pattern of revenue recognition.
(i) AR Advertising Services
— AR advertising display services
AR advertisements are the use of holographic materials integrated into advertisement on the online media platforms or offline display. The Company’s performance obligation is to identify advertising spaces, embed holographic AR images or videos into films, shows and short form videos that are hosted by leading online streaming platforms in China. Revenue is recognized at a point in time when the related services have been delivered based on the specific terms of the contract, which are commonly based on specific action (i.e. cost per impression (“CPM”) or cost per action (“CPA”) for on line display and service period for offline display contracts.
The Company enters into advertising contracts with advertisers where the amounts charged per specific action are fixed and determinable, the specific terms of the contracts were agreed on by the Company, the advertisers and channel providers, and collectability is probable. Revenue is recognized on a CPM basis as impressions or clicks are delivered while revenue on a CPA basis is recognized once agreed actions are performed or service period is completed.
The Company considers itself as provider of the services as it has control of the specified services and products at any time before it is transferred to the customers which is evidenced by (1) the Company is primarily responsible to its customers for products and services offered where the products were designed in house and the Company has customer services team to directly service the customers; and (2) having latitude in establish pricing. Therefore, the Company acts as the principal of these arrangements and reports revenue earned and costs incurred related to these transactions on a gross basis.
— Performance-based advertising service
The Company provides central processing algorithm performance-based advertising services for its customers, which enable the customers to get the optimal business opportunities.
F-20
Note 2 — Summary of significant accounting policies (cont.)
The Company’s performance obligation is to help customers to accurately match consumers and traffic users, and thereby increasing the conversion rate of product sale using its proprietary data optimization algorithms. The Company’s revenue is recognized at a point when an end user completes a transaction at a rate specified in contract. Related service fees are generally billed monthly, based on a per transaction basis.
The Company considers itself as provider of the services as it has control of the specified services and products at any time before it is transferred to the customers which is evidenced by (1) it is primarily responsible to its customers for the services offered where the algorithms and data optimization were designed and performed in house and it has customer services team to directly serve the customers; and (2) having latitude in establish pricing. Therefore, VIYI acts as the principal of these arrangements and reports revenue earned and costs incurred related to these transactions on a gross basis.
In addition, through the Company’s data algorithm optimization, it is able to identify certain end user needs and it facilitates certain value-added services to the end users. The Company engages third party services provider to perform the services. The Company concludes that it does not control the services as the third-party service provider is responsible for providing the service and its responsibility is merely to facilitate the provision of these value added service to the end users and charges a fee. As such the Company recorded revenue from the value-added services on a net basis when the services is provided by third party service provider.
(ii) AR Entertainment
The Company’s AR entertainment includes mainly three sub categories: SDK payment channel services, software development and mobile games operations and technology developments.
a. SDK Payment Channel Services
The Company’s SDK payment channel services enable game players/app users to make online payments through Alipay, Unipay or Wechat pay etc. to various online content providers. When game players/app users make payments in the game or app, the SDK payment channel will automatically populate payment services for the users to fulfill payments.
The Company charges a fee for the payment channel services, the pricing of which is based on the predetermined rates specified in the contract. The Company’s performance obligation is to facilitate payment services and recognizes SDK payment channel service revenue at a point in time when a user completes a payment transaction via a payment channel and is entitled to payment. Related fees are generally billed monthly, based on a per transaction basis. The Company assessed that its promise to customer is to facilitate the service of third party instead of providing the payment services itself as the Company does not have control of the services provided as the Company does not service the users directly and does not have the latitude to establish the price, and therefore, revenue from SDK payment service is recorded on a net basis.
b. Mixed Reality (“MR”) software development services
The Company’s MR software development service contracts are primarily on a fixed price basis, which require the Company to perform services for MR application design, content development and integrating based on customers’ specific needs. These services also require significant production and customization. The required customization work period is generally less than one year. The Company currently does not have any modification of contract and the contracts currently do not have any variable consideration.
The software customization, application design, upgrades and integration are considered as one performance obligation. The promises to transfer software, customization and upgrades are not separately identifiable as the customers do not obtain benefits from these services on their own.
F-21
Note 2 — Summary of significant accounting policies (cont.)
The Company’s MR software development service contracts are generally recognized over time during the contract period as the Company has no alternative use of the customized software and application without incurring significant additional costs. Revenue is recognized based on the Company’s measurement of progress towards completion based on input or output methods. Input methods are used only when there is a direct correlation between hours incurred and the end product delivered, and output method is used when the Company could appropriately measure the customization progress towards completion. Assumptions, risks and uncertainties inherent in the estimates used to measure progress could affect the amount of revenues, receivables and deferred revenues at each reporting period. The Company has a long history of developing various MR software resulting in its ability to reasonably estimate the progress toward completion on each fixed price customized contract.
c. Mobile Games Services
The Company generates revenue from jointly operated mobile game publishing services and the licensed-out games. In accordance with ASC 606, Revenue Recognition: Principal Agent Considerations, the Company evaluates agreements with the game developers, distribution channels and payment channels in order to determine whether or not the Company acts as the principal or as an agent in the arrangement with each party respectively. The determination of whether to record the revenues gross or net is based on whether the Company’s promise to its customers is to provide the products or services or to facilitate a sale by a third party. The nature of the promise depends on whether the Company controls the products or services prior to transferring it. Control is evidenced by if the Company is primarily responsible for fulling the provision of services and has discretion in establishing the selling price. When the Company controls the products or services, its promise is to provide and deliver the products and revenue is presented gross. When the Company does not control the products, the promise is to facilitate the sale and revenue is presented net.
— Jointly operated mobile game publishing services
The Company is offering publishing services for mobile games developed by third party game developers. The Company acted as a distribution channel that it will publish the games on their own app or a third party owned app or website, named game portals. Through these game portals, game players can download the mobile games to their mobile devices and purchase coins, the virtual currency, for in game premium features to enhance their game playing experience. The Company contracts with third party payment platforms for collection services offered to game players who have purchased coins. The third-party game developers, third party payment platforms and the co publishers are entitled to profit sharing based on a prescribed percentage of the gross amount charged to the game players. The Company’s obligation in the publishing services is completed at a point in time when the game players made a payment to purchase coins.
With respect to the publishing services arrangements between the Company and the game developer, the Company considered that the Company does not control the services as evidenced by (i) developers are responsible for providing the game product desired by the game players; (ii) the hosting and maintenance of game servers for running the online mobile games is the responsibility of the third party platforms; (iii) the developers or third party platforms have the right to change the pricing of in game virtual items. The Company’s responsibilities are publishing, providing payment solution and market promotion service, and thus the Company views the game developers to be its customers and considers itself as the facilitator of the game developers in the arrangements with game players. Accordingly, the Company records the game publishing service revenue from these games, net of amounts paid to the game developers.
— Licensed out mobile games
The Company also licenses third parties to operate its mobile games developed internally through mobile portal and receives revenue from the third party licensee operators on a monthly basis. The Company’s performance obligation is to provide mobile games to game operators which enable players of the mobile games to make in game purchases and the Company recognized revenue at a point in time when game players completed the purchases. The Company records revenues on a net basis, as the Company does not have the control of the services provided as it does not have the primary responsibility for fulfillment nor does it have the right to change the pricing of the game services.
F-22
Note 2 — Summary of significant accounting policies (cont.)
d. Technology developments
The Company’s technology development contract requires the Company to design applications based on customers’ specific needs. The duration of the design period is short, usually approximately 3 months or less. Revenues are generally recognized at a point in time where the Company has transferred control of the asset upon completion of the design and after the acceptance by its customer with no more future obligation of the design project.
(iii) Semiconductor business
The Company’s semiconductor business includes two sub categories: sale of products and software development.
a. Sale of products
Starting in July 2020, the Company also engage in sales of semiconductor products and other electronic accessories. The Company typically enters into written contracts with its customer where the rights of the parties, including payment terms, are identified and sales prices to the customers are fixed with no separate sales rebate, discount, or other incentive and no right of return exists on sales of inventory. The Company’s performance obligation is to deliver products according to contract specifications. The Company recognizes gross product revenue at a time when the control of products or services are transferred to customers.
To distinguish a promise to provide products from a promise to facilitate the sale from a third party, the Company considers the guidance of control in ASC 606-10-55-37A and the indicators in 606-10-55-39. The Company considers this guidance in conjunction with the terms in the Company’s arrangements with both suppliers and customers.
In general, the Company controls the products as it has the obligation to (i) fulfill the products delivery and (ii) bear any inventory risk as legal owners. In addition, when establishing the selling prices for delivery of the resale products, the Company has control to set its selling price to ensure it would generate profit for the products delivery arrangements. The Company believes that all these factors indicate that the Company is acting as a principal in this transaction. As a result, revenue from the sales of products is presented on a gross basis.
b. Revenue from software development
The Company also designs software for central processing units based on customers’ specific needs. The contract is typically fixed priced and does not provide any post contract customer support or upgrades. The Company’s performance obligation is to design, develop, test and install the related software for customers, all of which are considered one performance obligation as the customers do not obtain benefit for each separate service. The duration of the development period is short, usually less than one year.
The Company’s revenue from software development contracts is generally recognized over time during the development period the Company has no alternative use of the customized software and application without incurring significant additional costs. Revenue is recognized based on the Company’s measurement of progress towards completion based on output methods when the Company could appropriately measure the customization progress towards completion by reaching certain milestones specified in contracts. Assumptions, risks and uncertainties inherent in the estimates used to measure progress could affect the amount of revenues, receivables and deferred revenues at each reporting period.
F-23
Note 2 — Summary of significant accounting policies (cont.)
Contract balances:
The Company records receivable related to revenue when it has an unconditional right to invoice and receive payment.
Payments received from customers before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition met are recorded as deferred revenue.
Contract costs:

Earnings/(loss) per share
The Company computes earnings/loss per share (“EPS”) in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share”. ASC 260 requires companies to present basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is measured as net income/loss divided by the weighted average ordinary share outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS presents the dilutive effect on a per share basis of the potential ordinary shares (e.g., convertible securities, options and warrants) as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later. Potential ordinary shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, there were 1,747 dilutive shares as a result of the Company’s unvested stock compensation. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, there was no dilutive effect of potential shares due to the Company’s net loss.

The Company evaluated the recoverable amounts of deferred tax assets, and provided a valuation allowance to the extent that future taxable profits will be available against which the net operating loss and temporary difference can be utilized. The Company considers both positive and negative factors when assessing the future realization of the deferred tax assets and applied weight to the relative impact of the evidences to the extent it could be objectively verified.
The Company’s cumulative net operating loss (“NOL”) of approximately RMB 55,027,921 (USD 8,199,172) as of June 30, 2022 was mainly from NOL of Beijing WiMi, Shenzhen Yidian and Shenzhen Duodian. The NOL starts to expire in 2024. Management considers projected future losses outweigh other factors and made a full allowance of related deferred tax assets.

Note 15 — Taxes (cont.)
The Company recognized deferred tax liabilities related to the excess of the intangible assets reporting basis over its income tax basis as a result of fair value adjustment from acquisitions in 2015. The deferred tax liabilities will reverse as the intangible assets are amortized for financial statement reporting purposes.
Value added taxes (“VAT”) and goods and services taxes (“GST”)

Note 16 — Concentration of risk
Credit risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and short term investments. In China, the insurance coverage for cash deposits of each bank is RMB 500,000. As of June 30, 2022, cash balance of RMB 193,958,039 (USD 30,421,450) was deposited with financial institutions located in China, of which RMB 180,016,699 (USD 26,822,526) was subject to credit risk. The Hong Kong Deposit Protection Board pays compensation up to a limit of HKD 500,000 (approximately USD 64,000) if the bank with which an individual/a company hold its eligible deposit fails. As of June 30, 2022, cash balance of HKD 596,775,470, approximately RMB 510,362,382 (USD 80,048,055) was maintained at financial institutions in Hong Kong, of which HKD 591,684,005 approximately RMB 506,008,161 (USD 75,395,321) was subject to credit risk. The Singapore Deposit Insurance Corporation Limited (SDIC) insures deposits in a Deposit Insurance (DI) Scheme member bank or finance company up to SGD 75,000 (approximately USD 57,000) per account. As of June 30, 2022, cash balance of SGD 178,492 approximately RMB 859,797 (USD 134,855) was maintained at DI Scheme banks in Singapore, of which SGD 32,989 approximately RMB 158,910 (USD 23,678) was subject to credit risk.

F-39
Note 16 — Concentration of risk (cont.)
A majority of the Company’s expense transactions are denominated in RMB and a significant portion of the Company and its subsidiaries’ assets and liabilities are denominated in RMB. RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currencies. In the PRC, certain foreign exchange transactions are required by law to be transacted only by authorized financial institutions at exchange rates set by the PBOC. Remittances in currencies other than RMB by the Company in China must be processed through the PBOC or other China foreign exchange regulatory bodies which require certain supporting documentation in order to affect the remittance.
To the extent that the Company needs to convert U.S. dollars into RMB for capital expenditures and working capital and other business purposes, appreciation of RMB against U.S. dollar would have an adverse effect on the RMB amount the Company would receive from the conversion. Conversely, if the Company decides to convert RMB into U.S. dollar for the purpose of making payments for dividends, strategic acquisition or investments or other business purposes, appreciation of U.S. dollar against RMB would have a negative effect on the U.S. dollar amount available to the Company.
Customer concentration risk
For the six months ended June 30, 2021, no customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s total revenues. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, one customer accounted for 23.0% of the Company’s total revenues,
As of December 31, 2021, three customers accounted for 32.4%, 15.1% and 14.1% of the Company’s accounts receivable. As of June 30, 2022, two customers accounted for 16.3% and 10.1% of the Company’s accounts receivable.
Vendor concentration risk
For the six months ended June 30, 2021, one vendor accounted for 10.2% of the Company’s total purchases. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, one vendor accounted for 16.2% of the Company’s total purchases.
As of December 31, 2021, four vendors accounted for 24.6%, 12.6%, 12.2% and 10.7% of the Company’s accounts payable, respectively. As of June 30, 2022, three vendors accounted for 22.3%, 19.4%, and 11.4% of the Company’s accounts payable.
Note 17 — Leases
Lease commitments
The Company determines if a contract contains a lease at inception. US GAAP requires that the Company’s leases be evaluated and classified as operating or finance leases for financial reporting purposes. The classification evaluation begins at the commencement date and the lease term used in the evaluation includes the non-cancellable period for which the Company has the right to use the underlying asset, together with renewal option periods when the exercise of the renewal option is reasonably certain and failure to exercise such option which result in an economic penalty. All of the Company’s real estate leases are classified as operating leases.
The Company has entered into eleven non-cancellable operating lease agreements with term more than one year for office spaces expiring through August 2026. Upon adoption of FASB ASU 2016-02, the Company recognized approximately RMB 1.8 million right of use (“ROU”) assets and same amount of lease liabilities based on the present value of the future minimum rental payments of leases, using a weighted average discount rate of 7% based on duration of lease terms. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. The leases generally do not contain options to extend at the time of expiration and the weighted average remaining lease terms are 1.5 years as of June 30, 2022.
Operating lease expenses are allocated between the cost of revenue and selling, general, and administrative expenses. Rent expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2022 were RMB 1,174,826 and RMB 1,852,211 (USD 275,980), respectively.

On March 24, 2021, the Company completed its third public offering of 11,173,335 units at the public offering price of USD 7.50 per unit, with each unit consisting of one ADS and four-tenths of a warrant to purchase one ADS at an exercise price of USD 8.60 per ADS and exercisable at any time after the date of issuance and expire on the second anniversary of the date of issuance. Each ADS represents two of the Company’s Class B ordinary shares, par value USD 0.0001 per share. The offering resulted in net proceeds to the Company of approximately USD 79.7 million (RMB 508.1 million) after deducting underwriting commission and other expenses of approximately USD 6.0 million (RMB 38.9 million). Approximately RMB 108.5 million (USD 16.8 million) of proceeds was allocated to fair value of warrants, see below.
Warrants
The Company’s outstanding warrants are classified as equity since they qualify for exception from derivative accounting as they are considered to be indexed to the Company’s own stock and require net share settlement. The fair value of the warrants of RMB 108.5 million (USD 16.8 million) is valued based on the Black-Scholes-Merton model and is recorded as additional paid-in capital from common stock based on the relative fair value of net proceeds received using the following assumptions:
Annual dividend yield | — | |||
Expected life (years) | 2.0 | |||
Risk-free interest rate | 0.92 | % | ||
Expected volatility | 180.03 | % |
As of June 30, 2022, the Company had 4,469,334 warrants outstanding to purchase 11,173,335 ADS with weighed average exercise price of RMB 57.6 (USD 8.60) per ADS and remaining contractual lives of 0.75 years.

Restricted assets
The Company’s ability to pay dividends is primarily dependent on the Company receiving distributions of funds from its subsidiary. Relevant PRC statutory laws and regulations permit payments of dividends by WiMi WFOE, Lixin Technology, Shenzhen Weiyixin, Shanghai Weimu, Beijing WiMi and Shenzhen Yitian (collectively “WiMi PRC entities”) only out of its retained earnings, if any, as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. The results of operations reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP differ from those reflected in the statutory financial statements of WiMi PRC entities.
WiMi PRC entities are required to set aside at least 10% of their after-tax profits each year, if any, to fund certain statutory reserve funds until such reserve funds reach 50% of its registered capital. In addition, WiMi PRC entities may allocate a portion of its after-tax profits based on PRC accounting standards to enterprise expansion fund and staff bonus and welfare fund at its discretion. WiMi PRC entities may allocate a portion of its after-tax profits based on PRC accounting standards to a discretionary surplus fund at its discretion. The statutory reserve funds and the discretionary funds are not distributable as cash dividends. Remittance of dividends by a wholly foreign-owned company out of China is subject to examination by the banks designated by State Administration of Foreign Exchange.
As a result of the foregoing restrictions, WiMi PRC entities are restricted in their ability to transfer their assets to the Company. Foreign exchange and other regulation in the PRC may further restrict WiMi PRC entities from transferring funds to the Company in the form of dividends, loans and advances. As of June 30, 2022, amounts restricted are the paid-in-capital and statutory reserve of WiMi PRC entities, which amounted to RMB 558,2577,552 (USD 83,180,492).
Statutory reserve
As of December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2022, WiMi PRC entities collectively attributed RMB 28,573,157 and RMB 31,377,202 (USD 4,675,210), of retained earnings for their statutory reserves, respectively.
Note 19 — Commitments and contingencies
Contingencies
From time to time, the Company is party to certain legal proceedings, as well as certain asserted and un-asserted claims. Amounts accrued, as well as the total amount of reasonably possible losses with respect to such matters, individually and in the aggregate, are not deemed to be material to the consolidated financial statements.
Variable interest entity structure
In the opinion of management, (i) the corporate structure of the Company is in compliance with existing PRC laws and regulations; (ii) the contractual arrangements are valid and binding, and do not result in any violation of PRC laws or regulations currently in effect; and (iii) the business operations of WiMi WFOE and the VIE are in compliance with existing PRC laws and regulations in all material respects.
However, there are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of current and future PRC laws and regulations. Accordingly, the Company cannot be assured that PRC regulatory authorities will not ultimately take a contrary view to the foregoing opinion of its management. If the current corporate structure of the Company or the contractual arrangements is found to be in violation of any existing or future PRC laws and regulations, the Company may be required to restructure its corporate structure and operations in the PRC to comply with changing and new PRC laws and regulations. In the opinion of management, the likelihood of loss in respect of the Company’s current corporate structure or the contractual arrangements is remote based on current facts and circumstances.

Coronavirus (“COVID-19”)
The ongoing outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has spread rapidly to many parts of the world. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 as a pandemic. The pandemic has resulted in quarantines, travel restrictions, and the temporary closure of stores and business facilities in China from February to mid-March in 2020. All of the Company’s business operations and the workforce are concentrated in China, so the Company closed offices and implemented work-from-home policy during that period. Due to the nature of the Company’s business, the impact of the closure on the operational capabilities was not significant. However, the Company’s customers were negatively impacted by the pandemic and reduced their budgets for online advertising and marketing. The resurgence of COVID-19 in late 2021 in Asia has impacted the Company’s operation in China and subsidiaries in Singapore and Hong Kong which caused these subsidiaries to record impairment on intangibles and goodwill as a result of reduced forecast for 2022. Potential impact to the Company’s results of operations for 2022 will also depend on economic impact due to the pandemic and if any future resurgence of the virus, which are beyond the Company’s control. There is no guarantee that the Company’s revenues will grow or remain at a similar level year over year in 2022.
Legal proceedings
The Company’s VIE Shenzhen Yiyun filed a lawsuit in September 2019 where Shenzhen Yiyun sued three companies for breach of contract and seeking damages of approximately RMB 364,000 (USD 57,000). In March 2020, Shenzhen Yiyun was awarded requested damages by People’s Court of Shenzhen Qianhai District. The three companies subsequently filed appeal with the Intermediate People’s Court of Shenzhen in May 2020 and the appeal was overruled by the court in November 2020. The three companies then filed suit with People’s Court of Shenzhen Qianhai District in August 2021 and sued Shenzhen Yiyun for breach of contract and seeking damages
of approximately RMB 313,000 (USD 49,000) plus applicable fees. The court dismissed the case in December 2021. The three companies filed appeal with the Intermediate People’s Court of Shenzhen in February 2022 and at the same time filed for asset protection with the court. The case is now under review by the court and the asset protection for the three companies was granted and a total of RMB 442,560 (USD 69,414) of Shenzhen Yiyun’s cash was restricted from period of September 2, 2021 to September 1, 2022. The Company believes the case will be dismissed and no contingent loss was recorded on the consolidated financial statements.
Yingke network technology (Hainan) Co., Ltd., the plaintiff, filed a lawsuit against Shenzhen Kuxuanyou, the defendant, for a service contract regarding the plaintiff’s RMB 673,537 (USD 105,641) of unconsumed recharge and the corresponding loss of interest on capital occupation, as well as the penalty of RMB 322,939 (USD 50,652). If the liability for breach of contract agreed by both parties and resulting in punishment is determined by the court as the cause of the Company, the relative’s party’s lawsuit may be supported, and the Company may be faced with the legal risk of returning the unused recharge and paying liquidated damages. The management of the Company thinks that there is more than 50% possibility for the company to compensate the liquidated damages and refund the unconsumed recharge, so the provision for losses was made.
