Over the course of his nearly four-year tenure,Jimmy led us from the ranks of operating as a private company through our successful public listing on the New York Stock Exchange. He has made many great contributions to our continued growth and we wish him the best in his retirement."

Impact of Recently Adopted New Accounting Standard

In May 2014,the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09,"Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)." On January 1,the Company adopted the Topic 606 new standard using the modified retrospective method. Under this method,the Company records adjustments to its fiscal 2018 opening balance sheet (as of January 1,2018) to reflect the cumulative effect of the new accounting standard. The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standard in effect for those periods. The Company has completed the assessment of related adoption impact,including but not limited to accounting for incentives to customers,contract modification,contract cost and forfeitures of prepaid credits.

The Company is required to estimate the breakage,or the forfeiture of prepaid credits,and recognize the expected breakage amount as revenue in proportion to the pattern of credits consumed by the customers. Based on the Company's analysis of historical customer forfeitures of prepaid credits,the Company has concluded that no breakage should be recognized,upon adoption or in first three quarters of 2018. The adoption of Topic 606 does not have any material impact on the Company's revenue recognition for the first three quarters of 2018 and comparable periods. The Company will continue to update the estimate of expected breakage at each reporting date.

The new accounting standard primarily impacts the accounting of the Company's sales personnel expenses. Under the new accounting standard,certain sales commissions to the sales personnel and the sales agents as well as new customer referral cost are considered incremental cost of obtaining contracts,and therefore shall be recognized as an asset given that the Company expects to recover those costs. RMB118.9 million,RMB100.3 million,RMB82.7 million and RMB76.0 million of contract cost asset was capitalized in prepaid expenses and other current assets account as of September 30,June 30,March 31,2018 and January 1,respectively. The adoption resulted in an incremental,net capitalization of RMB18.6 million of sales and marketing expenses for the third quarter of 2018. The asset that was recognized for costs to obtain contracts will be expensed ratably in future periods,along with the recognition of revenue of corresponding contracts.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In evaluating its business,51Talk considers and uses the following measures defined as non-GAAP financial measures by the SEC as supplemental metrics to review and assess its operating performance: non-GAAP sales and marketing expenses,non-GAAP product development expenses,non-GAAP general and administrative expenses,non-GAAP operating expenses,non-GAAP loss from operations,non-GAAP income tax expenses,non-GAAP net loss,non-GAAP net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders,and non-GAAP net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders per share and per ADS. To present each of these non-GAAP measures,the Company excludes share-based compensation expenses. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures,please see the table captioned "Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measures" set forth at the end of this press release.

51Talk believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance by excluding share-based expenses that may not be indicative of its operating performance from a cash perspective. 51Talk believes that both management and investors benefit from these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing its performance and when planning and forecasting future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management's internal comparisons to 51Talk's historical performance. 51Talk computes its non-GAAP financial measures using the same consistent method from quarter to quarter and from period to period. 51Talk believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency with respect to supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making. A limitation of using non-GAAP measures is that these non-GAAP measures exclude share-based compensation expenses that have been and will continue to be for the foreseeable future a significant recurring expense in the 51Talk's business. Management compensates for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from each non-GAAP measure. The accompanying table at the end of this press release provides more details on the reconciliations between GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to non-GAAP financial measures.
