The Company operates through its subsidiaries, VIE and subsidiaries of the VIE and valuation allowance is considered on an individual entity basis. The Company recorded full valuation allowance against deferred tax assets of those entities that were in a three-year cumulative financial loss and are not forecasting profits in the near future as of December 31, 2023 and 2024. In making such determination, the Company also evaluated a variety of factors including the Company’s operating history, accumulated deficit, existence of taxable temporary differences and reversal periods. As of December 31, 2023 and 2024, the Group had net operating losses of RMB870,943 and RMB885,130 (US$121,262 ) , respectively, from its PRC subsidiaries and US subsidiary. The tax losses in the PRC can be carried forward for five years to offset future taxable income, and the period is extended to ten years for entities that qualify as a HNTE. The Company’s net operating losses from PRC subsidiaries are estimated to expire beginning 2025, and the net operating losses from United States subsidiary can be carried forward with no expiration date. As of December 31, 2024, the Company intends to permanently reinvest the undistributed earnings from foreign subsidiaries to fund future operations. As of December 31, 2024, the total amount of undistributed earnings from its PRC subsidiaries as well as VIE is nil. The total undistributed earnings of the Company’s Hong Kong subsidiary is RMB40,752 (US$5,583). The amount of unrecognized deferred tax liabilities for temporary differences related to investments in foreign subsidiaries is not determined because such a determination is not practicable. Unrecognized tax benefits As of December 31, 2023 and 2024, the Company recorded an unrecognized tax benefits of RMB19,353 and RMB11,338 (US$1,553), respectively, of which RMB4,070 and RMB9,172 (US$1,257) are presented on a net basis against the deferred tax assets related to tax loss carry forwards on the consolidated balance sheets. It is possible that the amount of uncertain tax position will change in the next twelve months; however, an estimate of the range of the possible outcomes cannot be made at this moment. As of December 31, 2024, unrecognized tax benefits of RMB11,338 (US$1,553), if ultimately recognized, will impact the effective tax rate. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefit was as follows:
|  | For the years ended December 31, |
|  | 2023 |  |  | 2024 |
|  | RMB |  |  | RMB |  |  | US$ |
Balance at beginning of the year |  |  | 7,342 |  |  |  | 19,353 |  |  |  | 2,651 |
Additions |  |  | 12,011 |  |  |  | — |  |  |  | — |
Decreases |  |  | — |  |  |  | (8,015 | ) |  |  | (1,098 | )
Balance at end of the year |  |  | 19,353 |  |  |  | 11,338 |  |  |  | 1,553 |
The Company records interest and penalties as part of its income tax expense. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded RMB783 (US$107) of interest expense in relation to the unrecognized tax benefit into income tax expense. The accumulated interest expense accrued in relation to the unrecognized tax benefit is RMB1,002 (US$137) as of December 31, 2024. 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 VIE and the VIE’s subsidiaries. Accordingly, the PRC tax filings from 2019 through 2024 remain open to examination by the respective tax authorities. The Group may also be subject to examinations of tax filings in other jurisdictions, which are not material to the consolidated financial statements.
