Third Quarter of Fiscal 2020 Financial Results

REVENUES. Revenues increased by 31.7% YoY to RMB334.7 million ($48.1 million) in the third quarter of fiscal 2020. The increase was mainly driven by the implementation of a new processing fee in April 2019 as well as growth in the Company's total subscriber base.

The Company recruited 23,387 new subscribers during the reporting quarter. Revenues generated from processing fees and other services increased by 38.9% YoY to RMB218.5 million ($31.4 million).

Recent Developments

    --  On June 4, 2019, the board of directors of the Company (the "Board")
        received a non-binding proposal letter from Cordlife Group Limited
        ("Cordlife"), a company listed on the Mainboard of the Singapore
        Exchange Securities Trading Limited ("SGX"), pursuant to which Cordlife
        proposed to combine the businesses of Cordlife and the Company, by way
        of a statutory merger. According to the letter, Cordlife would issue
        approximately 2,497.9 million ordinary shares at an issue price of
        SGD0.5 per ordinary share in exchange for all of the outstanding
        ordinary shares of the Company at $7.50 per ordinary share. Upon
        completion of the proposed transaction, the Company's ordinary shares
        would be delisted from the New York Stock Exchange, and Cordlife
        ordinary shares would continue to trade on the SGX. On June 5, 2019, the
        Board formed a special committee of independent directors (the "Special
        Committee") who are not affiliated with Cordlife to evaluate such
        proposal.  On November 11, 2019, the Company appointed Mr. Jack Chow as
        an independent non-executive director ("INED") of the Board. Mr. Chow
        has extensive professional experience and a broad network in the finance
        and investment industry. He replaced Mr. Mark Chen as a member of the
        Audit Committee and Ms. Jennifer Weng as a member of the Special
        Committee. Mr. Chow also joined the Board's Compensation Committee and
        Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.   On February 6, 2020,
        the Company appointed Mr. Jacky Cheng as an INED of the Board. Mr. Cheng
        has extensive professional experience and knowledge in legal and
        compliance and Chinese laws. He joined the Board's Compensation
        Committee as a member and the Company's Special Committee as a member.
        Currently, the Special Committee is composed of four members, including
        Mr. Mark Chen, Dr. Ken Lu, Mr. Jack Chow, and Mr. Jacky Cheng.
    --  The Company cautions its shareholders and others considering trading its
        ordinary shares that no decisions have been made with respect to the
        Company's response to the proposed transaction with Cordlife. The
        proposed transaction is still subject to various conditions, including
        but not limited to, completion of due diligence, parties entering into a
        definitive agreement, and/or each of Cordlife and the Company obtaining
        its relevant regulatory and shareholder approvals. In addition,
        litigation has been filed in the Cayman Islands challenging the proposed
        transaction. There can be no assurance that any definitive offer will be
        made, that any agreement will be executed, or that this or any other
        transaction will be approved or consummated.

                             nine months ended December 31,
                             2019, 23,387 and 65,753 new
                             subscribers were recruited,
                             respectively. The Company
                             reclassified 199 and 1,026

                             the three months and nine months
                             ended December 31, 2019,
                             respectively, after the Company
                             determined that the

                             Therefore, the Company
                             terminated their subscription
                             services according to the
                             subscription contracts and these

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

GAAP results for the three months and nine months ended December 31, 2019, include non-cash items related to depreciation and amortization expenses. To supplement the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented on a U.S. GAAP basis, the Company has provided adjusted financial information excluding the impact of these items in this press release. The non-GAAP financial measure represents non-GAAP operating income. Such adjustment is a departure of U.S. GAAP; however, the Company's management believes that these adjusted measures provide investors with a better understanding of how the results relate to the Company's historical performance. Also, management uses non-GAAP operating income as a measurement tool for evaluating actual operating performance compared to budget and prior periods. These adjusted measures should not be considered an alternative to operating income, or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These measures are not necessarily comparable to a similarly titled measure of another company. A reconciliation of the adjustments to U.S. GAAP results appears in exhibit 3 accompanying this press release. This additional adjusted information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for U.S. GAAP financials. The adjusted financial information that the Company provides also may differ from the adjusted information provided by other companies.
