Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Results of Operations
Three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to three months ended September 30, 2021 Revenues from individual online learning services, page 114
3. Please clarify if the 27% decrease in revenue from financial literacy courses for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 represents a strategic shift to emphasize the marketing of personal interest courses. If so, this appears to imply that introductory financial literacy learners were converted to personal interest paying learners instead of financial literacy learners during the period; however, we noted that the number of other personal interest paying learners declined during this period. Please provide a more comprehensive explanation as to why revenue from financial literacy courses significantly decreased during the period and explain how the above factors, and the decrease repeat purchase rate, contributed to the decrease. Lastly, provide a discussion on managements assessment of the anticipated effect of this strategic shift on the financial condition and results of operations in future periods. Refer to Item 5.A.1 of Form 20-F as referenced from Item 4 of Form F-1.
Response: The Company wishes to clarify that it seeks to continuously diversify its course offerings, which does not represent a strategic shift to emphasize on the marketing of personal interest courses. The Company has revised the relevant disclosure to clarify its diversification efforts.
Additionally, the Company advises the Staff that the conversion of paying learners for financial literacy courses (under QiNiu) and other personal interest courses (under JiangZhen and QianChi) are substantially separate from each brand. In other words, the paying learners of financial literacy courses are typically converted from introductory financial literacy courses, rather than other introductory-level personal interest courses, and vice versa. The Company wishes to draw the Staffs attention to the tables under the heading Key Operating Metrics on pages 30 and 108 of the Amendment No.1. The number of paying users for other personal interest courses was stable during the relevant period (i.e., approximately 0.1 million).
Furthermore, the Company has broken down the repeat purchase rate by course subjects to show the increasing trend for financial literacy courses, and in light of this fact, the Company has enhanced the disclosure on the decrease in the revenue from financial literacy courses to discuss the impact from the change in the allocation of marketing and corporate resources among various subjects of courses, despite the increase in repeat purchase rate for financial literacy courses.
In light of the above clarifications and in response to the Staffs comment, the Company has revised the disclosure on pages 30, 31, 36, 37, 105, 107, 108, 115, 119 and 146 of the Amendment No.1.
