On December 13, 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-08, which addresses the accounting and disclosure
requirements for certain cryptocurrencies. The new guidance requires entities to subsequently measure certain cryptocurrencies at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded in net income in each reporting period. Retrospective restatement would
not be required or allowed for prior periods. The amendments are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, including interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted. The Group early adopted
ASU 2023-08 on January 1, 2024.
ASC 820 defines principal market as the market
with the greatest volume and level of activity for the asset or liability. The determination of the principal market (and, as a result, the market participants in the principal market) is made from the perspective of the reporting entity. The
Company determines Coinbase as its principal market, as it is one of the earliest and the most trusted sources by users, institutions, and media for comparing thousands of cryptocurrencies.
The Group measures the fair value of cryptocurrencies on a monthly basis, and refers to the closing prices quoted on Coinbase exchange as the
fair value at the end of every month. Gains or losses on exchange of cryptocurrencies were computed at the difference of fair value of digital assets on exchange dates and payable due to vendors. As of January 1, 2024, the cumulative-effect
adjustment of RMB332,000 was recorded as an increase to the opening balance of retained earnings. Refer to Note 6 Cryptocurrency, for further information regarding the cryptocurrencies.
Before adoption of ASU 2023-08, cryptocurrencies were classified as an intangible asset. An intangible
asset with an indefinite useful life is not amortized but assessed for impairment annually, or more frequently, when events or changes in circumstances occur indicating that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived asset is impaired.
Impairment losses were recognized within other income, net in the consolidated statements in the period in which the impairment was identified.
Purchases of cryptocurrencies by the Group, if any, will be included within investing activities in the accompanying consolidated statements of
cash flows, while cryptocurrencies received or paid in the operating business are non-cash operating activities on the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows. The sales of cryptocurrencies are
included within investing activities in the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows.
The Group accounts for investments in accordance with ASC Topic 320, Investments Debt Securities (ASC 320). The Group
classifies the investments in debt securities as held-to-maturity, trading or
available-for-sale, whose classification determines the respective accounting methods stipulated by ASC 320. Dividend and interest income, including amortization of the
premium and discount arising at acquisition, for all categories of investments in securities are included in earnings. Any realized gains or losses on the sale of the investments are determined on a specific identification method, and such gains and
losses are reflected in earnings during the period in which gains or losses are realized. Securities that the Group has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity securities and stated at amortized cost less allowance for credit losses. Securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term are classified as
trading securities, in accordance with ASC 320. Unrealized holding gains and losses for trading securities are included in earnings. Debt investments not classified as trading or as
held-to-maturity are classified as available-for-sale debt securities, which are reported
at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) on the consolidated balance sheets.
As of December 31, 2023 and September 30, 2024, short-term investments are all classified as trading debt securities with original
maturities less than twelve months, which were bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term.
The Groups inventories consist of finished goods, work in process and raw materials, which are purchased from contractual manufacturers
and component suppliers. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost of inventory is determined using the weighted average cost method. Adjustments are recorded to write down the cost of inventory to the estimated net
realizable value due to slow-moving and obsolete inventory, which is dependent upon factors such as historical and forecasted consumer demand, and promotional environment. The Group takes ownership, risks and rewards of the products purchased.
In accordance with ASC
855-10-55-1(b), the Group considers all data available, including future demand and subsequent changes in product prices that may
provide additional information about the valuation of inventories at the balance sheet dates.
