NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Amounts in thousands of RMB and US$, unless otherwise stated)

 

1.                       ORGANIZATION

 

21Vianet Group, Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands on October 16, 2009 and its principal activity is investment holding. The Company through its consolidated subsidiaries and variable interest entities (the “VIEs”) are principally engaged in the provision of hosting and related services.

 

(a)                  VIE disclosures

 

Except for certain property, leasehold improvements and land use right with total carrying amounts of RMB214,106 (US$30,305) that were pledged to secure banking borrowings granted to the Company (Note 11), there were no pledges or collateralization of the Consolidated VIEs’ assets. Creditors of the Consolidated VIEs have no recourse to the general credit of the primary beneficiaries of the Consolidated VIEs, and such amounts have been parenthetically presented on the face of the consolidated balance sheets. The Consolidated VIEs operate the data centers and own facilities including data center buildings, leasehold improvements, fiber optic cables, computers and network equipment, which are recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. They also hold certain value-added technology licenses, registered copyrights, trademarks and registered domain names, including the official website, which are also considered as revenue-producing assets. However, none of such assets was recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as such assets were all acquired or internally developed with insignificant cost and expensed as incurred. In addition, the Company also hires data center operation and marketing workforce for its daily operations and such costs are expensed when incurred. The Company has not provided any financial or other support that it was not previously contractually required to provide to the Consolidated VIEs during the periods presented.

2.                       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

(a)                  Basis of presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding financial reporting that are consistent with those used in the preparation of the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. Accordingly, these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements.

 

In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements contain all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, operating results and cash flows of the Company for each of the periods presented. The results of operations for the six months periods ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any other interim period or for the year ending December 31, 2020. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related footnotes for the year ended December 31, 2019.

 

(b)                  Use of estimates

 

The preparation of the 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 at the date of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in the Company’s financial statements include, but are not limited to, estimating the useful lives of long-lived assets, determining the fair value of equity investments, accounting for investments and the subsequent impairment assessment, determining the allowance for credit losses for financial assets, determining the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, accounting for share-based compensation arrangements, goodwill and long-lived assets impairment assessment, measurement of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, determining the fair value of convertible promissory notes and assessing the initial valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and as such, differences may be material to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

(c)                   Convenience translation

 

Amounts in US$ are presented for the convenience of the reader and are translated at the noon buying rate of US$1.00 to RMB7.0651 on June 30, 2020, the last business day in June 2020, representing the noon buying rate set forth in the H.10 statistical release of the U.S. Federal Reserve Board. No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be converted, realized or settled into US$ at such rate or at any other rate.

2.                       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

(d)                 Accounts receivable and allowance for credit losses

 

Accounts receivable are carried at net realizable value. An allowance for credit losses for financial assets, including accounts receivable, carried at amortized cost to present the net amount expected to be collected as of the balance sheet date. Such allowance is based on credit losses expected to arise over the life of the asset’s contractual term, which includes consideration of prepayments. Assets are written off when the Company determines that such financial assets are deemed uncollectible and are recognized as a deduction from the allowance for credit losses. Expected recoveries of amounts previously written off, not to exceed the aggregate of the amount previously written off, are included in determining the necessary reserve at the balance sheet date. The Company pools financial assets based on similar risk characteristics to estimate expected credit losses. The Company estimates expected credit losses on financial assets individually when those assets do not share similar risk characteristics. The Company closely monitors its accounts receivable including timely account reconciliations, detailed reviews of past due accounts, updated credit limits, and monthly analysis of the adequacy of their reserve for credit losses.

 

The Company utilizes a loss rate approach to determine lifetime expected credit losses for its financial assets. This method is used for calculating an estimate of losses based primarily on the Company’s historical loss experience. In determining loss rates, the Company evaluates information related to historical losses, adjusted for current conditions and further adjusted for the period of time that the Company can reasonably forecast. The Company has concluded that it can reasonably support a forecast period for the contractual life of its financial assets. Qualitative and quantitative adjustments related to current conditions and the reasonable and supportable forecast period consider the following: the customer or vendor’s creditworthiness, changes in the policy and procedures to establish customer credit limits, changes in the payment terms of receivables, existence and effect of any concentration of credit and changes in the level of such concentrations, and the effects of other external forces such as the current and forecasted direction of the economic and business environment. On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASC326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, using modified-retrospective transition approach. Following the adoption of this guidance, a cumulative-effect adjustment in accumulated deficit of RMB2,740 was recognized as of January 1, 2020. For the six months period ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded credit losses of RMB1,183 (US$167).

2.                       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

(e)                   Revenue recognition

 

The Company provides hosting and related services including hosting of customers’ servers and networking equipment, connecting customers’ servers with internet backbones (“Hosting service”), virtual private network services providing encrypted secured connection to public internet (“VPN service”) and other value-added services and public cloud service through strategic partnership with Microsoft.

 

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition (“ASC 605”), using the modified retrospective transition method applied to those contracts which were not completed as of January 1, 2018. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under ASC 606, while prior period amounts have not been adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with historic accounting under ASC 605. The impact of adopting the new revenue standard was not material to the consolidated financial statements and there was no adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings on January 1, 2018.

 

Under ASC 606, an entity recognizes revenue as the Company satisfies a performance obligation when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that an entity determines are within the scope of ASC 606, the entity performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price, including variable consideration, if any; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration to which it is entitled in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer.

 

Once a contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606 at contract inception, the Company reviews the contract to determine which performance obligations it must deliver and which of these performance obligations are distinct. The Company recognizes revenue based on the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to each performance obligation when that performance obligation is satisfied or as it is satisfied.

 

The Company is a principal and records revenue on a gross basis when the Company is primarily responsible for fulfilling the service, has discretion in establishing pricing and controls the promised service before transferring that service to customers. Otherwise, the Company records revenue at the net amounts as commissions.

 

The Company’s revenue recognition policies effective on the adoption date of ASC 606 are as follows:

(e)                   Revenue recognition (continued)

 

Hosting services are services that the Company dedicates data center space to house customers’ servers and networking equipment and provides tailored server administration services including operating system support and assistance with updates, server monitoring, server backup and restoration, server security evaluation, firewall services, and disaster recovery. The Company also provides interconnectivity services to connect customers with each other, internet backbones in China and other networks through Border Gateway Protocol, or BGP, network, or single-line, dual-line or multiple-line networks. Hosting services are typically provided to customers for a fixed amount over the contract service period and the related revenues are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract. For certain contracts where considerations are based on the usage of the Hosting services, the related revenues are recognized based on the consumption at the predetermined rate as the services are rendered throughout the contact term. The Company is a principal and records revenue for Hosting service on a gross basis.

 

VPN services are services that the Company extends customers’ private networks by setting up secure and dedicated connections through the public internet. VPN services are provided to customers for a fixed amount over the contract service period and revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract. The Company is a principal and records revenue for VPN service on a gross basis.

 

Cloud services allow businesses to run their applications over the internet using the IT infrastructure. Revenue from Cloud services consists of incentive revenue from Microsoft upon completion of certain conditions and a fixed percentage amount based on gross sales price generated from Cloud services provided to end customers. Cloud services are generally provided to end customers for a fixed amount over the contract period and the related revenues are recognized on a straight-line basis over the contract period. For certain contracts where considerations are based on the usage of the cloud resources, the related revenues are recognized based on the consumption at the predetermined rate as the services are rendered throughout the contract term. The Company records revenue for Cloud service on a net basis.

 

For certain arrangements, customers are required to pay the Company before the services are delivered. The Company recognizes a contract liability in the consolidated balance sheets, depending on the relationship between the Company’s performance and the customer’s payment. Contract liabilities are mainly related to fee received for Hosting services to be provided over the contract period, which are presented as deferred revenue on the consolidated balance sheets.

 

Deferred revenue represents the Company’s obligation to transfer the goods or services to a customer for which the Company has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. As of December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2020, the Company has deferred revenue amounting up to RMB57,625 and RMB54,327 (US$7,689), respectively. Revenue recognized from opening deferred revenue balance was RMB44,634 (US$6,318) for the six months period ended June 30, 2020.

 

Part of the Company’s Hosting service contains lease and non-lease components. The Company elected to adopt the practical expedient which allows lessors to combine lease and non-lease components and account for them as one component if 1) the timing and pattern of transfer of the lease component and non-lease component is the same; 2) the lease component should be classified as an operating lease if it were accounted for separately. The combined component is accounted for in accordance with the current lease accounting guidance (“ASC 842”) if the lease component is predominant, and in accordance with the ASC 606 if the non-lease component is predominant. In general, the Company has determined that the non-lease component is the predominant component in Hosting service. Therefore, the Company has accounted for the combined component in accordance with ASC 606.

 

The Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations as the Company’s revenue contracts are (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less or (ii) contracts for which the Company recognizes revenue at the amount to which it has the right to invoice for services performed.

2.                       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

(f)                      Loss per share

 

In accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share (“ASC 260”), basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of unrestricted ordinary shares outstanding during the period using the two-class method. Under the two-class method, net loss is allocated between ordinary shares and other participating securities based on their participating rights. The convertible perpetual preferred shares are participating securities. As the participating securities do not share the losses of the Group, the computation of basic earnings per share using two-class method is not applicable when the Company is at a net loss position. 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 equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Contingently issuable shares, including performance-based share awards and contingent considerations to be settled in shares, are included in the computation of basic earnings per share only when there is no circumstance under which those shares would not be issued. Contingently issuable shares are included in the denominator of the diluted loss per share calculation as of the beginning of the period or as of the inception date of the contingent share arrangement, if later, only when dilutive and when all the necessary conditions have been satisfied as of the reporting period end. For contracts that may be settled in ordinary shares or in cash at the election of the Company, share settlement is presumed, pursuant to which incremental shares relating to the number of shares that would be required to settle the contract are included in the denominator of diluted loss per share calculation if the effect is more dilutive. For the contracts that may be settled in ordinary shares or in cash at the election of the counterparty, the more dilutive option of cash or share settlement is used for the purposes of diluted loss per share calculation, pursuant to which share settlement requires the number of shares that would be required to settle the contract be included in the denominator whereas cash settlement requires an adjustment to be made to the numerator for any changes in income or loss that would result as if the contract had been classified as an asset or a liability for accounting purposes during the period for a contract that is classified as equity for accounting purposes, if the effect is more dilutive. Ordinary equivalent shares consist of the ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the share options, using the treasury stock method and shares issuable upon the conversion of the Company’s convertible perpetual preferred shares and convertible notes using the if-converted method. Ordinary share equivalents are excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share if their effects would be anti-dilutive.

 

(g)                   Recent accounting pronouncements

 

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), which is elective, and provides for optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of reference rate reform and potential impact of adoption of these elective practical expedients on its condensed consolidated financial statements and will consider the impact of adoption during its analysis. The amendments apply only to contracts and hedging relationships that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. These amendments are effective immediately and may be applied prospectively to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated on or before December 31, 2022.

3.                       ACQUISITION OF SUBSIDIARIES

 

Acquisition in 2020

 

Shanghai Shuzhong

 

On June 30, 2020, as part of its business strategy to expand the existing hosting service, the Company through its subsidiary, Shanghai Shilian Technology Co., Ltd. (“SH Shilian”) acquired 100% of the equity interests in Shanghai Shuzhong Investment Management Co., Ltd. (“SH Shuzhong”) which primarily provides internet data center service from a third party selling shareholder, for a total cash consideration of RMB37,457 (US$5,301). The consideration was not paid as of June 30, 2020. The accounting for this acquisition is incomplete because the transaction occurred by the end of the period and therefore, the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements are regarded provisional as of June 30, 2020.

15.                PERPETUAL CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED SHARES

 

In June 2020, the Company issued 150,000 Series A perpetual convertible preferred shares (the “Series A Preferred Shares”) at the subscription price of US$1,000 per subscribed share for a total cash consideration of US$150,000.

 

The significant terms of the Series A Preferred Shares are summarized as follows:

 

Dividends

 

From and after the original issuance date, cumulative dividends on each Series A Preferred Share will accrue in arrears at the dividend rate of 4.5% per annum on the original issuance price of US$1,000 per subscribed share. All accrued dividends on any Series A Preferred Share will be paid in cash, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefor or upon a liquidation of the Company.

 

Holders of the Series A Preferred Shares will also be entitled to receive any dividends declared by the Board of Directors on a pro rata basis with the ordinary shares determined on an as-converted basis. The dividends or distributions shall be distributed among all holders of ordinary shares and Series A Preferred Shares in proportion to the number of ordinary shares that would be held by each such holder if all Series A Preferred Shares had been converted to ordinary shares as of the record date fixed for determining those entitled to receive such distribution.

 

For dividends on cumulative preferred stock classified in permanent equity, dividends are not recognized until declared by the Board of Directors. As of June 30, 2020, no dividend was declared by the Company and the cumulative dividend was immaterial.

 

Liquidation preference

 

In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders of Series A Preferred Shares will be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to its shareholders before any distribution or payment out of the assets of the Company will be made to the holders of ordinary shares at a preferential amount in cash equal to the greater of (i) the aggregate original issuance price of US$1,000 per Series A Preferred Shares, plus any unpaid, accrued and accumulated dividends on all such Series A Preferred Shares (whether or not declared) and (ii) the aggregate value that such holders of Series A Preferred Shares would have received had all holders of Series A Preferred Shares, immediately prior to such Liquidation, converted all Series A Preferred Shares then outstanding (together with any unpaid, accrued and accumulated dividends thereon) into Class A ordinary shares at the applicable conversion price then in effect.

 

If the Company has insufficient assets to pay the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares the full preferential amount, (a) the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares will share ratably in any distribution of the remaining assets of the Company in proportion to the respective full preferential amounts which would otherwise be payable to each such holder in full, and (b) the Company will not make or agree to make, or set aside for the benefit of the holders of ordinary shares, any payments to the holders of ordinary shares.

 

Conversion

 

Series A Preferred Shares can be converted at any time at the option of the holder into Class A ordinary shares by dividing the original issuance price plus any unpaid, accrued and accumulated dividends up to, but excluding, the conversion date by the conversion price in effect immediately prior to such conversion. Series A Preferred Shares will be mandatorily converted into Class A ordinary shares at any time after six months from the original issuance date when the daily volume-weighted average price of the ADS (“VWAP”) of certain period equals or exceeds the 200% of the conversion price per ADS (“Conversion Threshold”).

 

Conversion price is initially, US$2.8333 per Class A Ordinary Shares or US$17.00 per ADS and is subject to additional adjustments if the Company makes certain dilutive issuances of shares.

15.                PERPETUAL CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED SHARES (CONTINUED)

 

Voting

 

Each Series A Preferred Shares holder will be entitled to a number of vote equal to the number of Class A ordinary shares then issuable upon its conversion into Class A ordinary shares at the record date for determination of the shareholders entitled to vote on such matters, or, if no such record date is established, at the date when such vote is taken or any written consent of shareholders is solicited.

 

Accounting for the Series A Preferred Shares

 

The Series A Preferred Shares are classified as permanent equity and initially recorded at the issuance price at the time of closing. There were no embedded features that qualified for bifurcation and separate accounting in accordance with ASC 815-10, Derivatives and Hedging. As the time of closing, beneficial conversion features with the amount of US$66,615 was recorded as a reduction to the respective preferred shares with an offsetting credit to additional paid-in capital and recognized immediately as the accretion of the beneficial conversion option discount to income available for ordinary shareholders.

16.                CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES

 

During the six months period ended June 30, 2020, the Company entered into agreements with a group of investors led by Goldman Sachs Asia Strategic Pte. Ltd. (the “Purchasers”) to purchase the Company’s convertible promissory note (the “Notes”) for total gross proceeds of US$200,000. The Notes will mature in five years and, bear interest at the rate of 2% per annum from the issuance date which will be payable semiannually in arrears in cash.

 

Conversion

 

Purchasers have the option to convert all or a portion of the outstanding Notes and any accrued and unpaid interest, into ADSs at the conversion price at any time. The conversion price will initially be US$12.00 per ADS or will be subject to customary adjustments when the decrease in VWAP exceeds certain threshold. In addition, the conversion price will be adjusted in the event when the Company makes certain dilutive issuances of shares.

 

Redemption upon maturity

 

Unless previously redeemed or converted, the Company shall redeem the Notes on the maturity date in an amount equal to the sum of (i) 115% of the then outstanding principal amount of the Notes and (ii) the interest accrued but unpaid on the maturity date. The Company may not redeem the Notes at its option prior to the maturity date.

 

Early redemption at the option of the Purchasers

 

If any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes has not been converted by the third anniversary of the date of issuance of the Notes, the Purchasers at their sole discretion will have the right to require the Company to redeem, in whole or in part, the outstanding principal amount of the Notes which has not been converted previously in an amount equal to the sum of (i) 109% of the outstanding principal amount and (ii) the interest accrued but unpaid on the outstanding principal amount.

 

The Company elected to account for the Notes at fair value as a whole. Issuance costs including underwriting commissions and offering expenses were approximately RMB18,932 (US$2,680), which were recognized in earnings as incurred. As of June 30, 2020, the fair value of the Notes was RMB3,038,867 (US$430,124), and the changes in fair value of convertible promissory notes of RMB1,612,054 (US$228,171) was recognized in the consolidated statements of operations for the six months period ended June 30, 2020.

17.                SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

 

Option granted to employees

 

In order to provide additional incentives to employees and to promote the success of the Company’s business, the Company adopted a share incentive plan in 2010 (the “2010 Plan”). Under the 2010 Plan, the Company may grant options and RSUs to its employees, directors and consultants to purchase an aggregate of no more than 39,272,595 ordinary shares of the Company.

All share options to be granted under the 2010 Plan have a contractual term of ten years and generally vest over 3 to 4 years in the grantee’s option agreement.

 

In order to further promote the success and enhance the value, the Company adopted a share incentive plan in 2014 (the “2014 Plan”). Under the 2014 Plan, the Company may issue an aggregate of no more than 20,461,380 shares (“Maximum Number”) and such Maximum Number should be automatically increased by a number that is equal to 15% of the number of new shares issued by the Company from time to time. The maximum aggregate number of ordinary shares to be issued under 2014 Plan was subsequently amended to 39,606,817, as approved by the Board of Directors and shareholders of the Company on October 30, 2015. All share options, restricted shares and restricted share units to be granted under the 2014 Plan have a contractual term of ten years and generally vest over 3 to 4 years in the grantee’s option agreement.

 

In order to continuously attract and retain talents, the Company adopted a share incentive plan in 2020 (the “2020 Plan”). Under the 2020 Plan, the Company may issue an aggregate of 46,560,708 Class A ordinary shares of the Company (equal to the sum of (i) 5% of the Company’s share capital as of the date hereof, calculated on an as-converted basis by taking into consideration all the convertible promissory notes issued and to be issued by the Company, and (ii) 7,562,532 Class A ordinary shares reserved under the “2010 Plan” and “2014 Plan” for future grants) will be reserved for future issuance. After adoption of the 2020 Plan, the Company will cease to grant any new awards under the 2010 Plan and 2014 Plan while the 2010 Plan and 2014 Plan and outstanding awards granted thereunder will remain effective and can be amended by the Company from time to time pursuant to the applicable terms thereto. The 2020 Plan was approved by the Board of Directors and shareholder of the Company on May 13, 2020.

18.                TAXATION

 

The income tax expenses for the six months periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2020 were RMB20,084 and RMB42,896 (US$6,072), respectively.

 

Valuation allowance is considered for each of the entities. Realization of the net deferred tax assets is dependent on factors including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences and adequate future taxable income, exclusive of reversing deductible temporary differences and tax loss or credit carry forwards. The Company evaluates the potential realization of deferred tax assets on an entity-by-entity basis. As of December 31, 2019, and June 30, 2020, valuation allowances were provided against deferred tax assets in entities where it was determined it was more likely than not that the benefits of the deferred tax assets will not be realized in future years.

 

As of December 31, 2019, and June 30, 2020, the Company had gross unrecognized tax benefits of RMB2,443 and RMB3,729 (US$528), respectively. The unrecognized tax benefits and its related interest are primarily related to non-deductible expenses. It is possible that the amount of uncertain tax benefits will change in the next 12 months, however, an estimate of the range of the possible outcomes cannot be made at this time.

 

The Company has elected to record interest and penalties related to income taxes as a component of income tax expense. As of December 31, 2019, and June 30, 2020, the Company’s accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions were not material.

 

In general, the PRC tax authorities have up to five years to conduct examinations of the tax filings of the Company’s PRC subsidiaries, the VIEs and the VIEs’ subsidiaries. Accordingly, the PRC tax filings from 2015 through 2019 remain open to examination by the respective tax authorities.

21.                FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

The Company applies ASC 820. ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 requires disclosures to be provided on fair value measurement.

 

ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

 

Level 1 — Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

 

Level 2 — Include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.

 

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.

 

ASC 820 describes three main approaches to measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities: (1) market approach; (2) income approach; and (3) cost approach. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated from market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present value amount. The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. The cost approach is based on the amount that would currently be required to replace an asset.

 

Cash equivalents, time deposits and bonds payable are classified within Level 1 because they are valued by using quoted market prices.

 

Convertible promissory notes, liability classified RSU and long-term investments are classified within Level 3. The contingent considerations are based on the achievement of certain financial targets in accordance with the sales and purchase agreements for the various periods, as well as other non-financial measures. The fair value of liability classified RSU was estimated using the share price and exchange rate that the Company estimates to be settled in shares.

 

The Company measures equity investments elected to use the measurement alternative at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, in the cases of an impairment charge is recognized, fair value of an investment is remeasured in an acquisition/a disposal, and an orderly transaction for identical or similar investments of the same issuer was identified.

22.                COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED)

 

Managed Network Services

 

As of June 30, 2020, the Company was still in the process of negotiation with the seller of the Managed Network Entities on the quality assessment of the fiber optic network subsequent to the completion of construction. As this is a pending event subsequent to the acquisition which is unrelated to the original acquisition, the Company concluded that the accounting for any settlement should be separated from that of the business combination. Based on the Company’s best estimate, the fair value of the related contingent consideration in shares of RMB47,755, as determined based on the remeasured amount of December 31, 2012, is accrued as a contingent payable pursuant to ASC 450, Contingencies. The Company is negotiating with the seller of the Managed Network Entities to come to an agreement on the quality assessment of the fiber optic network as of June 30, 2020 and the Company’s estimate of the contingent payable remains unchanged.

 

Income Taxes

 

As of June 30, 2020, the Company had recognized an accrual of RMB3,729 (US$528) for unrecognized tax benefits and its interest. The final outcome of the tax uncertainty is dependent upon various matters including tax examinations, interpretation of tax laws or expiration of statutes of limitation. However, due to the uncertainties associated with the status of examinations, including the protocols of finalizing audits by the relevant tax authorities, there is a high degree of uncertainty regarding the future cash outflows associated with these tax uncertainties.

 

Operating litigation

 

In March 2019, a third-party supplier filed a lawsuit against the Company, alleging that the Company had not fully fulfilled its obligations under a network infrastructure cooperation agreement entered into in 2013. As this legal proceeding remains in preliminary stage, the Company’s management is unable to estimate the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome or the amount or range of any potential loss.

 

23.                SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

On June 24, 2020, the Company through its subsidiary, Shanghai Shilian Technology Co., Ltd. entered into a share purchase agreement to acquire 100% of the equity interests in Sanhe Shulifang Information Technology Co., Ltd. (“Shulifang”) for total cash consideration of RMB43,000 (US$6,086). The purpose of the acquisition is to establish a new data center. As of June 30, 2020, the transaction was not closed.
