EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Amendment No. 1 on Form 20-F/A (the “Amendment”) is being filed by Qudian Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) to amend the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, originally filed with the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission on April 29, 2021 (the “Original Filing”). The Company is filing this Amendment to (i) include the financial statements and related notes of Secoo Holding Limited (“Secoo”), as required by Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Rule 3-09”) and (ii) amend Item 15 of Part II of the Original Filing to revise management’s conclusion with respect to its evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
Rule 3-09 requires, among other things, that separate financial statements for unconsolidated subsidiaries and investees accounted for by the equity method to be included in the Form 20-F when such entities are individually significant. We have determined that our equity method investment in Secoo, which is elected to be measured at fair value and not consolidated in our financial statements, was significant under Rule 1-02(w) and Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X in relation to our financial results for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2021. This Amendment is therefore filed to supplement the Original Filing with the inclusion of the financial statements and related notes of Secoo as of December 31, 2020 and 2021 and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2021 (the “Financial Statements of Secoo”).
This Form 20-F/A consists solely of the cover page, this explanatory note, Items 15 and 19 of Part II, the Financial Statements of Secoo, certifications by our chief executive officer and principal financial officer, and the consent of the registered public accounting firm of Secoo. This Amendment does not affect any other parts of, or exhibits to, the Original Filing, nor does it reflect events occurring after the date of the Original Filing. Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Original Filing and with our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) subsequent to the Original Filing.

ITEM 15.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the specified time periods and accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act, as of December 31, 2020. Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that due to the issue set forth below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2020 in ensuring that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In particular, we failed to timely seek guidance from the staff of the SEC as to whether we can include the financial statements of Secoo for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2021 in lieu of its financial statements for the period from June 17, 2020 to December 31, 2020 and the period from January 1, 2021 to December 28, 2021, during which we had significant influence over Secoo, in our annual report in order to satisfy the requirements of Rule 3-09.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation and fair presentation of its published consolidated financial statements. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective may not prevent or detect misstatements and can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. As required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and related rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, our management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020. In making this assessment, it used the criteria established within the Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on this assessment, our management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2020, our internal control over financial reporting was effective.

Attestation Report of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Our independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young Hua Ming LLP has audited the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, as stated in its report, which appears on page F-6 of the Original Filing.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this annual report on Form 20-F that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
