III. Discussion about and Analysis of Business Operation
1. Overview of Business Operation during the Reporting Period
In the first half of this year, the outbreak of the pandemic led to the national suspension from work and classes. As
a result, a large number of recruitment examinations were postponed.These significant changes have had a huge
impact on the entire education and training industry. With the gradual lifting of the pandemic, the industry has
fully recovered and achieved rapid growth.
In response to the new situation after the pandemic, the central government put forward policies to ensure stability
and security in six areas (Ensure stability in employment, financial operations, foreign trade, foreign investment,
domestic investment, and expectations; ensure security in job, basic living needs, operations of market entities,
food and energy security, stable industrial and supply chains, and the normal functioning of primary-level
governments). These policies make the "employment" a top priority, which is evident in three measures. The first
is to expand employment in public sectors. The number of civil servants, governmental institutions, state-owned
enterprises and other recruitment increased by more than 20% year-on-year. The second is to expand admissions
of postgraduate students, college students applying for university study, students pursuing second bachelor's
degrees, and students aimed at vocational education, the number of whom has reached 1.7 million. These
measures indicate a clear expansion trend in the mid-term and long-term recruitment sector. In this case, the
education and training industry will still be developing at a medium and high speed in the next 5 to 10 years.

Offcn Education Technology Co., Ltd.2020 Semi-Annual Report Summary
Faced with the sudden outbreak of the pandemic, which had a huge impact on the operating environment, the
Company responded quickly and effectively to maximize the enterprise’s strengths of digital resources, to
considerably increase the total number of online classes, and to fully explore the potential of online and offline
curriculum integration, which not only ensures the continuity of operation and teaching, but also strengthens the
enterprise’s leading force of online and offline curriculum integration, an innovative product. Besides, the
Company continues to expand teacher-reserve and branches, focusing on the long-term expansion trend. Due to
the postponement of related examinations, part of the revenue was delayed for nearly 4 months, which made the
Company’s recognized operating revenue decreased during the reporting period, compared with the same period
of last year. With the resumption of all kinds of recruitment examinations, the Company has entered a period of
explosive growth.
The number of college graduates reached 8.74 million in this year of 2020, creating a new record. However, the
nationwide pandemic has further increased employment pressures. Two decades after the expansion of university
enrollment, the employment population structure has undergone significant changes, and the number of college
graduates has reached more than half of the total of new employees.The focus of stabilized employment will also
be shifted from the general job seekers to college graduates.
With the changes of the international situation, the central government put forward a new policy of internal
circulation; and an important support for the development of internal circulation is the new urbanization. The new
urbanization is not only the reconfirmation of the trend of mid-term and long-term urbanization, but also the
refinement of the urbanization path, which presents diverse patterns of urban clusters with different levels, such as
metropolitan areas, central cities, counties, featured towns ,etc, which can further expand the development
space.More importantly, the new urbanization will also be a deepening process and the most important aspect of
which is the deepening and upgrading of public services.Therefore, the following expansion of public sector’s
recruitment will be strongly guided by the new policy on internal circulation..
（1）The postponement of recruitment examinations result in the delay of income recognition, but the
trend of enrollment expansion is again confirmed.
The civil servant provincial joint examination was postponed for nearly 4 months, and other recruitment
examinations were also postponed to a certain extent in the first half of this year. In the case that the agreement
class accounted for a relatively high proportion, the delay of the examination resulted in a significant discrepancy
between the level of revenue recognition for the reporting period and that of actual operation.During the reporting
period, the Company achieved a total income of RMB 2,807,980,480.60 , down 22.80% from
RMB3,637,419,515.48 in the same period of last year.
Contrary to the decrease in recognized revenue, the number of students increased by 37.08% year-on-year, from
1,788,952 to 2,452,252 during the reporting period; the contract liabilities (advanced payment after deducting the
VAT ) was RMB 7,222,148,935.39, an increase of 31.50% over the same period of last year.
Normally, the first half of the year is an intensive period for civil service examinations. As a result of the
5
Offcn Education Technology Co., Ltd.2020 Semi-Annual Report Summary
pandemic, the focus of the civil service examinations was delayed by 3-4 months and moved back to the second
half of the year. Nevertheless, not only did the examination resume successfully, but the number of recruits also
achieved a more consistent or even higher growth rate than expected. Compared with civil servants recruitment,
there is much more room for recruitment in public services such as teachers, doctors and police. Therefore, the
reconfirmation of expansion trend in civil servants recruitment clearly indicates the expansion trend in the
recruitment of public service categories.

（2） The outbreak of Covid-19 is preventable, controllable, and predictable, and the Company has
established a comprehensive response system as a countermeasure, which greatly enhanced its leading force
in education and training industry.
The outbreak of the pandemic has caused great distress to the whole education industry. With the advantages of
the enterprise’s platform and its excellent execution, the Company quickly created an effective response system,
which not only enabled itself to go through the special period smoothly, but also took the opportunity to expand its
6
Offcn Education Technology Co., Ltd.2020 Semi-Annual Report Summary
leading force and dominance.
In response to the problem that face-to-face teaching could not be carried out smoothly within a certain period of
time, the Company made every effort to explore the digital resources in the enterprise platform. With the
advantageous and standardized teaching and researching ability as a lever, digital penetration is carried out on the
main course products, which again strengthens the leading advantage of online and offline integrated curriculum,
so that more students can obtain the convenience of online learning and the effectiveness of face-to-face learning
at the same time. As a result, the number of students in the reporting period increased significantly.
After the second quarter, with the pandemic gradually put into normalized prevention and control, people all over
the country return to work and production. The second round of the epicemic in Beijing, Dalian and other places
has been controlled rapidly and effectively, which once again reflects the relevant judgment that the pandemic is
preventable, controllable and predictable.
（3）Focusing on the future long-term growth, the Company significantly expands talent reserve and
branches, though moving against general trend.
Based on a clearer med-term and long-term trends in recruitment expansion and the expectation that the pandemic
can be prevented and controlled, the company did not reduce the number of staff or eliminate branches but
considerably expanded talent reserve and the scale of branches.
At the end of this reporting period, the total number of employees of the company was 41911, an increase of 6,702
compared with 35,209 in 2019, an increase of 19.03%. Among them, there are 18,036 teaching professionals,
4,561 more than 13,475 in 2019, an increase of 33.85%. There are 2,702 full-time R&D personnels, 651 more
than 2,051 in 2019, an increase of 31.74%.
There are 1,335 outlets, 231 more than 1,104 in 2019, an increase of 20.92%.
（4） The “take-off action” of the new business sector has been fruitful, and the capacity of talent reserve
has been gradually released.
During the reporting period, new businesses such as postgraduate entrance examinations and medical services still
remained highly active, and new businesses seldom adopted the product model of agreement classes. The revenue
recognition was not affected by examination delays,thus driving the comprehensive sequence in which they were
located with revenue increased by 26.04% year-over-year increase.At the same time, as delays of recruitment
examinations led to a decrease in revenue recognition of the relevant sequences,the revenue share of integrated
sequence increased to 34.58 percent from 21.18 percent in the same period of last year .
Around 2019, the Company completed a round of intensive investments in resources of the active new businesses,
especially in key categories such as postgraduate entrance examinations to achieve the leading scale of core
teaching and research resources at one time.In addition, starting from the second half of 2019, the Company has
taken "take-off action" for the new business segments, investing more management resources in the new
businesses from the top level.

Offcn Education Technology Co., Ltd.2020 Semi-Annual Report Summary
The outbreak of the pandemic strengthened the Company's determination to expand its operations across sectors,
which also verified the rationality of strengthening the development of the marketing part for recruitment
examinations. As a result, the special actions have been further strengthened and deepened.It has also boosted the
current performance of related categories,and more importantly, further improved the overall layout advantages,
which is conducive to realizing the medium and long-term sector’s rotating growth trend.

strengthening of the employment stabilization policy since the pandemic. The Ministry of Education has increased
its enrollment for further studies this year. The three expanded enrollments for postgraduates, undergraduates and
second bachelors will absorb more than 1.7 million people, including about 1.4 million fresh graduates. According

enrollment expansion will exceed 20%. The enrollment expansion of ordinary junior college students is 322,000.
