(Note i) A payable balance amounted to RMB 49,800 was recorded by a subsidiary prior to its acquisition by the Group, and such payable was indemnified by Xihua Investment Group (“Xihua Group). No provision was made for the indemnity. The indemnity balance was still outstanding as of the date of issuance of the financial statements.
 
 (Note ii) The balance represented the prepaid operating rights to the Zhenjiang Foreign Language School and Zhenjiang International School. The Group started a negotiation of returning the operating right back to the original owner Zhenjiang Education Investment Center in the third quarter of 2011. As a result, the prepaid operating rights have been reclassified as receivable since then. As of December 31, 2017 and 2018, the payable balance to Zhenjiang Foreign Language School amounted to RMB 36,770 and RMB 36,770, respectively (see Note 13); therefore, no provision was made. As of the date of issuance of the financial statements, the negotiation was still in progress.
 
(Note iii) Others mainly included inventory, prepaid education supplies, prepaid outsourcing service fee, and other miscellaneous items with trivial amounts.

(Note iv) Other addition of allowance during the years of 2017 and 2018 was mainly provided against third parties and former employees due to the remote recoverability.
 
(Note v) In the year ended December 31, 2018, the Group negotiated and recovered receivables due from Xihua Group in RMB 20,000. It was part of receivables from Xihua Group which had been provided with allowance and written off in the year of 2012 in RMB 46,829, because our management had to focus on JPL process in 2012 and following years till 2014, and did not have enough resources to put towards collection of such receivables back then. In 2018, Xihua Group was searching for a business cooperation agreement with the Group, which led to the collection of the receivable in RMB 20,000 as a final settlement of historical receivables as aforementioned. As of December 31, 2018, RMB 20,000 has been fully collected by the Group.
