40% compared to the previous quarter, albeit an increase by
approximately 20% compared
to the first quarter of the previous year." To contextualize the
significance of these
percentages for investors, please consider quantifying delivery orders
for the previous
quarters referenced in your disclosure. In this regard, we note that
you have only provided
delivery orders on an annual basis. As a related matter, please
further describe, and
quantify to the extent possible, any known trends and uncertainties
that have had, or that
you reasonably expect will have, a material favorable or unfavorable
impact on revenue or
results of operations, in light of the impact of COVID-19 in your
business. In this regard,
we note your disclosure in Note 25 to your financial statements that
"[t]he Company's

3. We note the column titled "Pro forma shareholders' equity (unaudited)"
and the
description of the related pro forma adjustments in Note 2 to your
financial statements.
Please tell us how you determined it was appropriate to adjust
additional paid-in capital
for one-time stock compensation expense within this column presented
on the face of your
financial statements. While such an adjustment appears appropriate in
pro forma balance
sheet data presented in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X
outside of your
historical financial statements, such as your capitalization table on
page 60, please tell us
your basis in GAAP or the SEC guidance you are relying upon when
presenting this pro
forma adjustment within your historical financial statements.
Note 10. Intangible Assets, page F-34
4. We note from your consolidated statements of cash flows and statements
of
comprehensive loss that during Fiscal 2019 you sold intangible assets
for proceeds of
RMB 21,167 and recognized a loss of RMB 3,840. As the amount of the
loss on this
transaction appears material, please provide a footnote explaining the
transaction. Also, in
your response provide us with a roll-forward of the balance of
intangible assets
from December 31, 2018 to December 31, 2019.

5. You disclose at the top of page F-39 that on August 23, 2019 you
granted 2,965,621
options under the 2019 Plan to non-employees. However in the table on
page F-41 you
disclose the grant of 2,382,344 options to non-employees during 2019
under this Plan. In
addition, the number of options outstanding at December 31, 2019
computed from
the sum of the outstanding employee and non-employee options shown in
this note does
not agree with the 8,549,280 options outstanding disclosed on pages
25, 144 and Part II,
page II-2. Please revise your disclosures for consistency or tell us
why you believe no
revision is necessary.
