On February 6, 2018, the Group entered into an agreement with a third-party company to subscribe to a total of 5,297,157 tokens for digital assets at a consideration of US$2.0 million and the Group has paid a total of RMB2.1 million (US$0.3 million) for the advance administrative expenses.

The Group has provided an impairment loss of RMB6.0 million (US$0.9 million) during the year ended December 31, 2019. In May 2020, the Group received a letter from the token issuer that due to the inability to deliver tokens as scheduled and the issuer had terminated the purchase agreement on April 30, 2020. Upon termination, the issuer is to refund to the participant the net amount and the Group has received a refund of US$0.8 million in July 2020 for the remaining 3,075,035 subscribed tokens. The transfer of tokens to a third-party to transfer of approximately 2,222,222 tokens was completed on the termination date of the purchase agreement.

In September 2020, the Group entered into a master cooperation and publishing agreement with Voodoo SAS (“Voodoo”), a French game developer and publisher, to cooperate on the publishing and operations of casual games in China for a period of maximum three years upon the launch of the games. In consideration for the exclusive license granted to the Group by Voodoo and as a minimum guarantee payment, the Group should pay Voodoo an aggregate amount of US$13.0 million in cash based on the agreed timetable, including an upfront payment of US$3.0 million that the Group has paid in September 2020. Due to uncertain events to the development and the probability to successfully launch the casual games in the future, the Group has performed an impairment assessment to consider the recoverable amount. As the advance on minimum guarantee payment is non-refundable in nature, the Group has fully impaired the advance paid in 2020.

In total, the Group recorded impairment charges relating to the advances to suppliers and other advances of RMB20.7 million, nil and nil for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022, respectively.
