Our net loss also increased from RMB266.7 million for the five months ended May 31, 2023 to RMB409.4 million for the five months ended May 31, 2024, primarily attributable to (i) a RMB98.4 million increase in share-based payments as we granted options under our employee incentive scheme in January 2024; and (ii) the fact that our revenue was relatively small in the first five months of 2024 due to the seasonality and fluctuations in our customers' demands for application of fuel cell systems and components, which were in relation to their vehicle production schedules, while our costs and expenses such as employee salaries and rent did not decline proportionately, resulting in a gross loss during that period.
