Uonone Group’s obligation on the contingent receivable does not arise until and unless the Company becomes obligated under the contingent liability. At December 31, 2023, the Company had no payment obligations with respect to the assumed contingent liability and accordingly, Uonone Group had no obligation to the Company with respect to the contingent receivable. Under the debt settlement agreement, any legal settlement proceeds, less fees and expenses, received by ZHPV related to the projects completed prior to the April 2015 business combination would be repaid to the Uonone Group. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 the Company did not receive any additional legal settlement proceeds, nor did the Company make any payments to Uonone. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the amount payable to Uonone, which includes both the Weifang legal settlement as well as the bond payable related to the Zhonglianda project, was approximately RMB 18.0 million ($2.5 million) and approximately RMB 19.4 million ($2.8 million), respectively.
