Despite ongoing stimulus policies from both central and local authorities used car consumption, consumer confidence stayed low in the first half of 2023. Moreover, the intense price war in China's auto market disrupted the pricing structure of the automotive industry, creating a widespread sense of caution.

In response to the market trends, our focus throughout Q2 of 2023 has been to enhance our service capabilities across our platform. This was achieved by gaining a deep understanding of dealer demand and continuously refining our resource allocation along the automotive value chain. Consequently, we were able to make further strides in diversifying revenue streams anchored in automotive transactions, capitalizing on the potential of our business model. In Q2, the company reported total revenues of CNY 680 million, representing a robust year-on-year increase of 134%. Of these revenues from car trading transactions accounted for CNY 560 million, making a significant year-on-year growth of 157% and a contribution of 83% of our overall revenue.
Moreover, by the end of June 2023, the total outstanding balance of financing transactions we facilitated decreased from CNY 20.7 billion as of March 31, 2023 to CNY 16.6 billion, thereby further mitigating our risk exposure. The M1+ and M3+ overdue ratios also saw a decrease from 2.33% and 1.29% as of March 31, 2023 to 2.12% and 1.09%, respectively.
