NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION
| (a) | Description of Business |
Youlife Group Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on April 2, 2024. The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiaries, now comprising the Group, is principally engaged in the provision of vocational education services, human resources (“HR”) recruitment services, employee management services and market services in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”).
| (b) | Merger and recapitalization |
On July 9, 2025 (the “Closing Date”), the Company consummated the previously announced business combination with Distoken Acquisition Corporation (“Distoken”), pursuant to the business combination agreement, dated as of May 17, 2024, as amended on November 13, 2024 and January 17, 2025 (as it may be further amended, supplemented and/or restated from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”) by and among Distoken, the Company, Xiaosen Sponsor LLC, a Cayman Islands limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), Youlife I Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“First Merger Sub”), Youlife II Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Second Merger Sub”), and Youlife International Holdings Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Youlife”).

Upon the consummation of the Merger Transaction,
| (a) | (i) Each security of Youlife that was not subject to any lock-up restrictions, other than the ordinary shares of Youlife held by Youtch Investment Co., Ltd., a holding company wholly owned by Mr. Yunlei Wang, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Youlife and the Company (the “Youlife Founder Shares”), that was issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time the First Merger was effective (the “First Merger Effective Time”) was cancelled and converted into the right to receive such number of Class A ordinary shares of the Company (“Company Class A Ordinary Shares”) equal to the Exchange Ratio (as defined below) in the form of the Company ADSs, |
F-7
(ii) Each security of Youlife that was subject to lock-up restrictions, other than the Youlife Founder Shares, that was issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time the First Merger Effective Time was cancelled and converted into the right to receive such number of the Company Class A Ordinary Shares equal to the Exchange Ratio, in each case in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement,
(iii) Each Youlife Founder Share that was issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Merger Effective Time was cancelled and converted into the right to receive such number of Class B ordinary shares of the Company (“Company Class B Ordinary Shares”) equal to the Exchange Ratio and in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement, with each such Company Class B Ordinary Share entitling each holder thereof to 20 votes for each Company Class B Ordinary Share held by such holder,

All applicable share and per share amounts in the consolidated and combined financial statements have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the effects of the recapitalization (“Recapitalization”).
| (b) | Each outstanding ordinary share of Distoken that was issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time the Second Merger was effective was cancelled and converted into the right to receive an equivalent number of the Company Class A Ordinary Shares in the form of the Company ADSs (excluding certain restricted securities held by the Sponsor which was exchanged for the Company Class A Ordinary Shares). |
Each outstanding public warrant and Private Warrant (as defined below) of Distoken was convert into one Company public warrant and one Company private warrant, respectively (which has the right to acquire the Company ADSs), and (e) each issued and outstanding purchaser right of Distoken (excluding certain restricted securities held by the Sponsor which was exchanged for the Company Class A Ordinary Shares) was automatically converted into one-tenth of one Company Class A Ordinary Share in the form of the Company ADSs.

2.1 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation
The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Significant accounting policies followed by the Group in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements are summarized below.
F-9
Principle of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Business combination
The Group accounts for its business combinations using the purchase method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). The purchase method of accounting requires that the Company allocate the fair value of purchase consideration to the separately identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired as well as liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The consideration transferred in an acquisition includes the aggregate of the fair values at the date of exchange of the assets given, liabilities incurred, and equity instruments issued as well as the contingent consideration and all contractual contingencies as of the acquisition date. The excess of the total of cost of acquisition, over the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the acquiree, is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the businesses acquired, the difference is recognized directly in earnings. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisitions are expensed as incurred. The determination and allocation of fair values to the identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and non-controlling interests is based on various assumptions and valuation methodologies requiring considerable judgment from management. Significant estimates include but are not limited to future expected cash flows from acquired assets, assumptions on useful lives, discount rates and terminal values. The Company’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates. The Company determines discount rates to be used based on the risk inherent in the related activity’s current business model and industry comparisons. Terminal values are based on the expected life of assets, forecasted life cycle and forecasted cash flows over that period.
Fair value measurement
The Group measures its financial assets at fair value through profit or loss at the end of each of the Relevant Years. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either in the principal market for the asset or liability, or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Group. The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.
F-10
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the consolidated financial statements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
| Level 1 – | based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities |
| Level 2 – | based on valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is observable, either directly or indirectly |
| Level 3 – | based on valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable |
The carrying value of financial instruments included in current assets and liabilities approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.
Impairment of non-financial assets other than goodwill
Where an indication of impairment exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required (other than financial assets), the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of the asset’s or cash-generating unit’s value in use and its fair value less costs of disposal, and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets, in which case the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. In testing a cash-generating unit for impairment, a portion of the carrying amount of a corporate asset is allocated to an individual cash-generating unit if it can be allocated on a reasonable and consistent basis or, otherwise, to the smallest group of cash-generating units.
An impairment loss is recognized only if the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. In assessing recoverable amount, the estimated future cash flows are undiscounted expected to result from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the assets, the Group recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount of the assets over their fair value. Fair value is generally determined by discounting the cash flows expected to be generated by the assets when the market prices are not readily available. An impairment loss is charged to the profit or loss in the period in which it arises in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset.
Derecognition of financial assets
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognized (i.e., removed from the Group’s consolidated balance sheet) when:
| ● | the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; or |
| ● | the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a “pass-through” arrangement; and either (a) the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Group has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset. |
When the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass-through arrangement, it evaluates if, and to what extent, it has retained the risk and rewards of ownership of the asset. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset nor transferred control of the asset, the Group continues to recognize the transferred asset to the extent of the Group’s continuing involvement. In that case, the Group also recognizes an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Group has retained.
Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Group could be required to repay.
F-11
Related parties
A party is considered to be related to the Group if:
| (a) | the party is a person or a close member of that person’s family and that person |
| (i) | has control or joint control over the Group; | |
| (ii) | has significant influence over the Group; or | |
| (iii) | is a member of the key management personnel of the Group or of a parent of the Group; |
or
| (b) | the party is an entity where any of the following conditions applies: |
| (i) | the entity and the Group are members of the same group; | |
| (ii) | one entity is an associate or joint venture of the other entity (or of a parent, subsidiary or fellow subsidiary of the other entity); | |
| (iii) | the entity and the Group are joint ventures of the same third party; | |
| (iv) | one entity is a joint venture of a third entity and the other entity is an associate of the third entity; | |
| (v) | the entity is a post-employment benefit plan for the benefit of employees of either the Group or an entity related to the Group; | |
| (vi) | the entity is controlled or jointly controlled by a person identified in (a); | |
| (vii) | a person identified in (a)(i) has significant influence over the entity or is a member of the key management personnel of the entity (or of a parent of the entity); and | |
| (viii) | the entity, or any member of a group of which it is a part, provides key management personnel services to the Group or the parent of the Group. |
Use of estimates
The preparation of the 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 the reported revenues, costs and expenses during the reported year in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. These accounting estimates reflected in the Group’s consolidated financial statements mainly include, but are not limited to, current expected credit losses, useful lives of intangible assets and property and equipment, provision of income tax, valuation allowance for deferred tax assets and incremental borrowing rate applied in lease liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
F-12
Foreign currency translation
The functional currency and booking currency are both RMB for substantial all entities of the Group, transactions, assets and liabilities dominated in foreign currency were few within 2025.
For the purpose of such translation in cost-efficiency way, the financial statements are translated into USD in the convenience rate (USD 1 = RMB 7.1636) prevailing at the balance date. No translation adjustments incurred to comprehensive income (loss).
Current expected credit losses
The Group adopted ASC Topic 326, “Financial Instruments — Credit Losses”, for credit loss assessment using the modified retrospective approach for all in-scope assets. The Group’s in-scope assets are primarily account receivables, prepayments and other receivables. To estimate expected credit losses, the Group has identified the relevant risk factors which include clients’ credits and accounts aging. Accounts with similar risk factors have been grouped into pools. For each pool, the Group considers the collection experience, current economic conditions and future economic conditions.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents represent cash at bank and on hand, on-demand deposits.
Accounts receivable, net
Accounts receivable, net are recognized and carried at the cost amount less an allowance for credit losses. An estimate for the allowance for credit losses is discussed above in “Current Expected Credit Losses”.
Leases
The Group follows ASC Topic 842, Leases. The Group leases office spaces, warehouse, and farmland which are classified as operating leases in accordance with Topic 842. Under Topic 842, lessees are required to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases, usually with initial term of 12 months or less) on the commencement date: (i) lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and (ii) right-of-use (“ROU”) asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term.
F-13
Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As most of the Group’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives and includes initial direct costs incurred. The Group’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Group will exercise that option. Lease expenses for minimum lease payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. All operating lease ROU assets are reviewed for impairment annually.
Revenue recognition
Revenue from contracts with customers
Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when control of goods or services is transferred to the customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.
When the consideration in a contract includes a variable amount, the amount of consideration is estimated to which the Group will be entitled in exchange for transferring the goods or services to the customer. The variable consideration is estimated at contract inception and constrained until it is highly probable that a significant revenue reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the associated uncertainty with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved.
When the contract contains a financing component which provides the customer with a significant benefit of financing the transfer of goods or services to the customer for more than one year, revenue is measured at the present value of the amount receivable, discounted using the discount rate that would be reflected in a separate financing transaction between the Group and the customer at contract inception. When the contract contains a financing component which provides the Group with a significant financial benefit for more than one year, revenue recognized under the contract includes the interest expense accreted on the contract liability under the effective interest method. For a contract where the period between the payment by the customer and the transfer of the promised goods or services is one year or less, the transaction price is not adjusted for the effects of a significant financing component.
| (a) | Vocational education services |
The Group provides vocational education services mainly including vocational education entrusted management services, self-operated vocational school services, curriculum co-development projects services, vocational training services and connotation construction services.
F-14
For vocational education entrusted management services, the Group agrees the price with the sponsors of managed schools upfront and recognizes the management fee received or receivable as its revenue on a straight-line basis over the agreed management period based on pre-agreed fixed amounts or unit rate per students for management services provided or the estimated operating results of the managed schools in the whole management period.
For self-operated vocational school services, the tuition and boarding fees from students are paid in advance at the beginning of each semester of an academic year and are initially recorded as contract liabilities. Tuition and boarding fees are recognized on a straight-line basis over the relevant period of the applicable program. The portion of tuition payments received from students but not earned is recorded as contract liabilities and is reflected as a current liability as such amounts represent revenue that the Group expects to earn within one year. The academic year of the Group’s schools is generally from September to June of the following year and has two semesters.
For curriculum co-development projects services, the Group agrees the price with the curriculum or subordinate schools upfront and recognizes the service fee received or receivable as its revenue on a straight-line basis over the relevant period of the applicable program based on pre-agreed fixed unit rate per student for services provided in the whole period.
For vocational training services, the Group recognizes the training fee received or receivable as its revenue on a straight-line basis over the training period as the customers simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Group.
For connotation construction services, revenue is recognized at the point in time when control of the asset is transferred to the customer, generally on acceptance by the customer.
| (b) | HR recruitment services |
The Group provides HR recruitment services regarding blue-collar talent to customers, and revenue is recognized at the point in time when the services are rendered and accepted by the customers.
| (c) | Employee management services |
The Group provides employee management services mainly including labor outsourcing services and labor dispatch services and others.
For labor outsourcing services, the Group charged service fees in respect of the labor outsourcing services on a lump sum basis. The Group acts as principal and is primarily responsible for providing the labor outsourcing services to customers. The Group recognizes the fee received or receivable from customers as its revenue and all related labor outsourcing services costs as its cost of services. The Group recognizes the labor outsourcing services fee received or receivable as its revenue over time in the period in which the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Group.
F-15
For labor dispatch services, the Group acts as a dispatching agent and is mainly responsible for administrative work, which is considered as one performance obligation, and the Group does not control employee’s labor services; therefore, the Group’s labor dispatch revenue is recorded on a net basis over time in the period in which the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the administration work performed by the Group, while the labor costs paid to the employees are recorded to net off revenue.
The Group’s other revenue includes income from the provision of HR agency services, which is recognized when the services are rendered and accepted by the customers.
| (d) | Market services |
The Group provides market services mainly including sale of retail goods to end customers via online retail platform and provision of value-added services to students of vocational schools, such as shopping, catering and dormitory management services.
For market services, revenue is recognized at the point in time when the services are rendered and accepted by the customers.
Income tax
The Group follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes (‘‘ASC 740’’). Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be in effect in the period in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Group records a valuation allowance to offset deferred tax assets if based on the weight of available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rate is recognized in tax expense in the period that includes the enactment date of the change in tax rate.
The Group accounted for uncertainties in income taxes in accordance with ASC 740. Interest and penalties arising from underpayment of income taxes shall be computed in accordance with the related PRC tax law. The amount of interest expense is computed by applying the applicable statutory rate of interest to the difference between the tax position recognized and the amount previously taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Interest and penalties recognized in accordance with ASC 740 are classified in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss as income tax expense.
In accordance with the provisions of ASC 740, the Group recognizes in its consolidated financial statements the impact of a tax position if a tax return position or future tax position is “more likely than not” to prevail based on the facts and technical merits of the position. Tax positions that meet the “more likely than not” recognition threshold are measured at the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon settlement. The Group’s estimated liability for unrecognized tax benefits, if any, will be recorded in the “other non-current liabilities” in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, and is periodically assessed for adequacy and may be affected by changing interpretations of laws, rulings by tax authorities, changes and/or developments with respect to tax audits, and expiration of the statute of limitations. The actual benefits ultimately realized may differ from the Group’s estimates. As each audit is concluded, adjustments, if any, are recorded in the Group’s consolidated financial statements. Additionally, in future periods, changes in facts, circumstances, and new information may require the Company to adjust the recognition and measurement estimates with regard to individual tax positions. Changes in recognition and measurement estimates are recognized in the period in which the changes occur.

Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue ordinary shares were exercised into ordinary shares. Common share equivalents are excluded from the computation of the diluted earnings per share in years when their effect would be anti-dilutive.
Segment reporting
The Group’s business activities, for which discrete financial information is available, are regularly reviewed and evaluated by the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the executive directors of the Company that make strategic decisions. As a result of this evaluation, the Group determined that it has operating segments as follows:
| (a) | the vocational education segment engages in the provision of vocational education entrusted management services, self-operated vocational school services, curriculum co-development projects services and vocational training services; | |
| (b) | the HR recruitment segment engages in the provision of HR recruitment services regarding blue-collar talent to customers; | |
| (c) | the employee management segment engages in the provision of labor outsourcing services, labor dispatch services and others; | |
| (d) | the market service segment engages in the provision of value-added services. |
The chief operating decision-maker monitors the results of the Group’s operating segments separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance is evaluated based on reportable segment revenue and segment results which is measured based on gross profit of the respective segment. No analysis of segment assets and liabilities is presented as management does not regularly review such information for the purposes of resource allocation and performance assessment. Therefore, only segment revenue and segment results are presented.

5. LONG-TERM INVESTMENT
Long-term investment represents an equity interest in a fund that subscribed Class B participating shares which holds a portfolio of various financial assets. The contractual terms of the shares do not give the group a right to receive contractual cash flows consisting solely of payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. The investment is subject to a mandatory 10-year lock-up period. This extended restriction demonstrates a lack of intent to sell the investment in the short term. Based on the lock-period and significant unobservable inputs of investment to the fund, the Group make the assessment of the fair value level for the fund is level 3. The fund would regularly value these investments and provide the valuation result of NAV to investors. This valuation process is highly dependent on models and management judgment. The Group made such investment in May 2025.

9. TAXATION
Under the current laws of the Cayman Islands, the Group is not subject to tax on income or capital gains. Additionally, upon payment of dividends by the Group to its shareholders, no Cayman Islands withholding tax will be imposed. The Company’s subsidiaries in Hong Kong are subject to Hong Kong Profits Tax rate at 16.5%, and foreign-derived income is exempted from income tax. There are no withholding taxes upon payment of dividends by the subsidiaries incorporated in Hong Kong to its shareholders. The Group’s subsidiaries incorporated in Hong Kong are not liable for income tax as they did not have any assessable profits arising in Hong Kong during the Relevant Periods.
PRC corporate income tax has been provided at the rate of 25% on the taxable profits of the Group’s PRC Subsidiaries for the Relevant Periods. Certain of the Group’s PRC Subsidiaries are qualified as small and micro enterprises and were entitled to a preferential corporate income tax rate of 2.5% to 5% during 2023 and 2024, respectively. Certain of the Group’s PRC Subsidiaries are accredited as “High and New Technology Enterprise” and were therefore entitled to a preferential income tax rate of 15% for the years ended 31 December 2023 and 2024. Such qualifications are subject to review by the relevant tax authority in the PRC for every three years.
The Group recorded a tax expense of RMB6,063 and RMB12,045(US$1,681) for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2025, respectively. Changes in the income tax expense primarily due to recognition of deferred tax assets in 2023 which began to be realized in 2024 and 2025.
10. EARNINGS PER SHARE

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF YOULIFE
This management’s discussion and analysis is designed to provide you with a narrative explanation of our financial condition and results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2025. This section should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2025 and related notes thereto, or the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, included as Exhibit 99.2 to the report on Form 6-K to which this discussion is included. We also recommend that you read our management’s discussion and analysis and our audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year 2024 and the notes thereto, which appear in our annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2024, or the Annual Report, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, on July 17, 2025.
Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this section to “Youlife,” “we,” “us” or “our” refer to Youlife Group Inc. and its subsidiaries, and, in the context of describing its operations and consolidated and combined financial information, also include the former subsidiaries.
All such financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or U.S. GAAP. We have made rounding adjustments to some of the figures included in this management’s discussion and analysis. Accordingly, numerical figures shown as totals in some tables may not be an arithmetic aggregation of the figures that precede them. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors.
Key Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations
Our results of operations and financial condition are affected by the general factors affecting China’s blue-collar lifetime service market, including, among others, China’s overall economic growth, the competitive environment in China and greater challenges in hiring. In addition, our results of operations and financial condition are also affected by factors driving the blue-collar lifetime service market in China, such as growth of the blue-collar sector. Unfavorable changes in any of these general factors could materially and adversely affect our results of operations.
While our business is influenced by general factors affecting our industry, our results of operations are more directly affected by the following specific factors.
Our business mix
We have broad and diversified blue-collar lifetime service offerings, each of which complements and benefits each other and ensures our ability to withstand market while maintaining a strong financial growth trajectory. A shift in our revenue mix would affect our gross profit margin, as the gross profit margin of each business segment varies. Any change in the revenue mix or change in the profitability of any service offering may have a corresponding impact on our overall profitability. We may in the future further adjust our business structure and strategies to improve our profitability. Any further changes on our business mix may affect our profitability.
Our ability to maintain major customers and expand our customer base
Our success is largely dependent on our ability to attract and maintain major customers and expand our customer base, which in turn is affected by our ability to deliver quality services amid a changing landscape of the blue-collar lifetime service industry in China. In 2023 and 2024, and the six months ended June 30, 2025, approximately 25.5% , 30.3% and 26.7% of our total revenue were generated from our top five customers, respectively. There is no guarantee that we will continue to obtain new contracts with these major customers or maintain our relationships with them in the future. In addition, we have a proven record of serving leading domestic and international corporate customers with a deep understanding of their needs and delivery, which we believe would be important to enhance our branding. Our continuous growth will be driven by our ability to expand our customer base to cover more large and medium sized customers of different industries in more cities and regions. In addition, our success will also be affected by our ability to explore relationships with customers focused on emerging industries with great growth potential.
Our ability to keep up with rapid changes in the blue-collar lifetime service industry
Our ability to grow our business and increase profitability largely depends on our ability to keep up with the rapid changes in both market conditions and relevant laws and regulations of the blue-collar lifetime service industry. Government policies have strengthened supervision requirements in the blue-collar lifetime service industry. Although we have taken measures to comply with the laws and regulations that are applicable to our business operations and avoid conducting any non-compliant activities under the applicable laws and regulations, the PRC government authorities may promulgate new laws and regulations regulating the blue-collar lifetime service industry from time to time. Any of these changes in the blue-collar lifetime service industry may result in the prohibition or restriction of certain types of services we offer, or the imposition of new or additional licensing or other requirements could also reduce our revenue and earnings.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our consolidated financial statements which are presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we use adjusted net profit/loss and adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP financial measures, in evaluating our operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes. Adjusted net profit/loss represents net profit before share-based compensation expenses, fair value gains from financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and deemed dividend to Series C and Series C+ preferred shareholders at modification of Series C and Series C+ Preferred Shares. Adjusted EBITDA represents adjusted net profit/loss before income tax expense, depreciation, amortization and interest expense. We believe that adjusted net profit/loss and adjusted EBITDA help identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of non-GAAP adjustments. We believe that such non-GAAP financial measures also provide useful information about our operating results, enhance the overall understanding of our past performance and prospects and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by our management in its financial and operational decision making.
The non-GAAP financial measures are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. It should not be considered in isolation or construed as alternatives to net loss or any other measure of performance or as an indicator of our operating performance. Investors are encouraged to review the historical non-GAAP financial measures considering the most directly comparable GAAP measures, as shown below. The non-GAAP financial measures presented here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate similarly titled measures differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures to our data. We encourage investors and others to review our financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.

We believe that our current cash and cash equivalents and our anticipated cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet our anticipated working capital requirements and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months. After this offering, we may decide to enhance our liquidity position or increase our cash reserve for future investments through additional capital and finance funding. The issuance and sale of additional equity would result in further dilution to our shareholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased fixed obligations and could result in operating covenants that would restrict our operations. We cannot assure you that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Prior to this Business Combination, we were a private company with limited accounting personnel and other resources with which to address our internal control over financial reporting. Our management and independent registered public accounting firm have completed the assessment and audit of our internal control over financial reporting, and they did not find any internal control issue.
As a company with less than US$1.235 billion in revenue for the last year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” pursuant to the JOBS Act. An emerging growth company may take advantage of specified reduced reporting and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. These provisions include exemption from the auditor attestation requirement under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 in the assessment of the emerging growth company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Off-Balance Sheet Commitments and Arrangements
We have not entered into any financial guarantees or other commitments to guarantee the payment obligations of any third parties. In addition, we have not entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to our shares and classified as shareholders’ equity or that are not reflected in our consolidated and combined financial statements. Furthermore, we do not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity, or market risk support to such entity. We do not have any variable interest in any unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk, or credit support to us or engages in leasing, hedging, or product development services with us.
