Note:

(a)Amounts represent income tax payable, VAT and related surcharges, PRC individual income tax of employees withheld by the Group and tariff, import VAT and consumption tax pursuant to the Circular on Tax Policy for Cross-border E-commerce Retail Imports.

(b)Amounts relate to the cash collected on behalf of third-party merchants which the Group provides platform access for sales of their products.

(c)The Group offers customers with an unconditional right of return for a period of 7 days upon receipt of products on sales from its platforms. The Group reduces product revenues and cost of revenues by an estimate of expected customer merchandise returns, which is calculated based on historical return patterns, and recorded as returned liability included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities. Refund liability is measured at the amount of consideration received for which the Group does not expect to be entitled.
