Mr. Justin Tang,the Founder,Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Company,commented,"We are pleased to report a solid quarter with strong financial and operational performance. In particular,I would like to highlight the following significant progress we have made across our business."

"Firstly,we are conducting business in stringent compliance with relevant laws and regulations in China to fully protect the interests of our investors and borrowers. Our access to personal information was fully authorized by our users and we have discontinued relationships with certain unqualified data providers. To strengthen our strong risk control capabilities,we enhanced our risk models based on different sets of data sources and metrics during the quarter."

"Secondly,we believe that controlling the loan process early on is critical and has become more efficient over time. Over the past six months,we have strengthened our risk control capabilities and adopted strict control and evaluation of borrowers in the very beginning of the process,this has helped us to sustain healthy growth and reduce loan defaults in their later stages. "

"Moreover,as we mainly rely on early stage risk control to reduce the loan defaults instead of relying on debt collection efforts,we outsourced debt collection to third-party agencies and implemented very strict control and management to monitor the debt collection process. Employees from these third-party agencies are mainly from credit card divisions of commercial banks,they are well versed in using polite methods to collect debt. For example,we have stringent requirements with respect to the use of polite words in the calls,the proper recording of the calls,and the restriction of call frequency in a certain period of time and etc."

"Thirdly,we are very pleased to report that institutional funding accounted for 35.7% of the loans facilitated through our platform in the third quarter this year,increasing from 26.7% in the previous quarter. In particular,the proportion of funding from institutions increased to 52.4% of the total loans facilitated in October 2019. We expect that all the funding for new loans will come from institutional partners or our own capital from the early of next year."

"Lastly,it is very encouraging to see our revolving loan product Yaoqianhua,previously known as Xiaoying Wallet,growing very rapidly. Transaction volumes for Yaoqianhua jumped significantly to RMB1,405 million this quarter from RMB971 million in the last quarter and the outstanding loan balance increased to RMB949 million as of September 30,2019 from RMB578 million as of June 30,2019. Yaoqianhua has an approved cumulative credit line of RMB4.8 billion and currently has a credit utilization rate of around 20.1% as of September 30,2019."

"Furthermore,for the users of Yaoqianhua,we are able to offer more diversified services to enhance the user experience and improve our own operational capabilities. We are planning to gradually transition from a pure financial service provider to a comprehensive business service provider."

"In conclusion,we are very confident in our future growth prospects and ability to create long-term value for our investors and shareholders. We are dedicated to continually provide the most user-friendly and convenient financial and business services to borrowers. China's consumer finance market is huge and we believe there is enormous potential for our products to drive future growth."

Mr. Simon Cheng,President of the Company,added,"We are very glad to report a solid quarter where we saw a significant improvement in our delinquency ratio. We are moving to higher quality customer segments because of changing macroeconomic and regulatory environment .We will continue to strengthen our risk control capabilities and provide the best loan services to our customers."

"China has unparalleled consumption potential that's unmatched by any other markets in the world. Our newly developed revolving product,Yaoqianhua,is generating strong growth momentum. The number of transactions for Yaoqianhua in the third quarter of 2019 increased to 3.8 million from 2.9 million in the second quarter of 2019. As of September 30,the number of active users of Yaoqianhua was around 330,000,representing an increase from around 220,000 as of June 30,2019. We believe that the number of Yaoqianhua users will keep rapid growing. The business will gradually account for a larger percentage of revenue as revolving product has a longer customer life time and offers multiple types of cross sell opportunities."

"We expect institutional investors to fund almost all new loan products on our platform since the early of next year as P2P lending products are to be gradually phased out. We have been actively negotiating with our funding partners including CITIC Trust,Kunlun Bank,Blue Ocean Bank,Huishang Bank,Yantai Bank among others,to further lower our funding costs and provide the best services to our customers."

"Going forward,market consolidation will result in fewer players in the sector which we believe will create enormous opportunities for us to grow. While the current regulatory environment is very challenging,we believe we have a lot of opportunities ahead of us to explore the market in the long run."

Mr. Kevin Zhang,Chief Financial Officer of the Company,"We finished the quarter with solid operational and financial results. Total loan facilitation amount was 10,750 million for the quarter,showing a significant increase year-over-year,while net revenues came in at RMB866.8 million,which also increased on a year-over-year basis."

"We are glad to see the number of active borrowers increased significantly to 840,137 in the quarter,which demonstrates continued strong demand from the market. The delinquency rates for all outstanding loans that are past due for 31-90 days and 91–180 days as of September 30,2019 were 2.95% and 4.50% respectively,respectively as of June 30,2019. We believe this reflects the improving quality of our loans as we acquire higher quality borrowers."

"In addition,we are pleased to see the proportion of institutional funding and revenue contribution from the loan assistance business continuing to grow. As of September 30,the credit line provided by our institutional partners was around RMB38.4 billion and has since been expanded to RMB48.4 billion by the end of October 2019. We are determined to operate in compliance with related laws and regulations,and are actively making a transition to a mode of combination of loan assistance and loan facilitation through small loan license."

"What's more,the loan products we facilitated that were covered by ZhongAn Insurance have decreased to 77.2% in the third quarter 2019. We will continue to reduce our insurance coverage rate to lower our customers' borrowing costs and develop alternative ways to provide guarantees for certain loan products."

"Going into next year,we will continue the transformation of our business to ensure it is fully compliant with regulations,reduce costs and improve efficiency,and create more value for our customers and shareholders."

General and administrative expenses in the third quarter of 2019 decreased by 9.5% to RMB61.2 million (US$8.6 million) from RMB67.6 million in the same period of 2018,primarily due toa decrease in consulting service fees compared to the same period of 2018.

Sales and marketing expenses in the third quarter of 2019 decreased by 43.0% to RMB25.9 million (US$3.6 million) from RMB45.3 million in the same period of 2018,primarily due to a reduction in promotional and advertising expenses.
