| Our revenue growth is attributable to the steady increase in our learning services business and the continued growth in sales of the products in the Content Solutions business |
| As for the Content Solutions business, our learning devices launched near the end of the last fiscal year, maintained their growth momentum and delivered solid user engagement performance |
| We really anticipate that it will continue to show growth momentum in the future |
| This is an area, where we've had and we've built up strong operational capabilities that will actually continue to hone in every evolving environment |
| Congratulations on a very strong set of results |
| As I mentioned earlier, I think we made encouraging progress during the quarter |
| In the second quarter of fiscal year 2024, our learning services and others business contributed to our year-over-year growth momentum |
| Within learning services, our enrichment learning business achieved double-digit revenue growth year-over-year during the quarter, driven by continued increase in our offline learning center networks capacity and seasonal benefits of summer vacation, which led to a year-over-year increase in enrollments in this quarter |
| And we think that the collaboration of AI with human faculty and staff can really improve the efficiency of supply and accessibility of high-quality learning content |
| If we look at the growth trend for learning devices from Q1 to Q2, the business experienced quarter-over-quarter sequential growth driven by both seasonal benefits and business progress |
| In this quarter, smart and print books combined delivered year-over-year double-digit growth |
| I would say on the engagement side, we're seeing some pretty encouraging user activity data and user feedback |
| Income from operations expanded by, 113.5% to US$31.8 million from US$14.9 million for the second quarter of fiscal year 2023 |
| So if we take these three that you named, I would say, learning services business, it's really demonstrated the fact that it has some viable business models |
| In addition, our online large class enrichment learning business continued to make progress this quarter |
| Gross profit also increased in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 rising from US$176.9 million for the same period last year to US$242.5 million for this quarter |
| And so with that, we really expect this business to be profitable |
| We have rolled out the beta version of MathGPT and we intend to continuously improve the model's efficiency guided by the feedback we receive from selected users to whom we provided test invitations of this experimental version |
| Our overseas business also continued to expand during the second quarter |
| We recorded net revenues of US$411.9 million and 2.9659 million RMB this quarter, an increase of 40.1% and 49.5% year-over-year in USD and RMB terms |
| In terms of our financial performance, we reported net revenues of US$411.9 million and RMB2.9659 billlion for the quarter, representing an increase of 40.1% and 49.5% year-over-year in US dollar and RMB terms respectively |
| We will continue to optimize our model to improve its response speed and accuracy |
| Looking ahead to the next quarter, we intend to serve more customers with better experiences, through our Content Solutions business |
| While these new programs still constitute a small percentage of our total revenue they have shown year-over-year growth in this fiscal quarter |
| In addition to our core business, our innovative endeavors have made progress in this fiscal quarter |
| I'm pleased to share some details on the progress we made during the second fiscal quarter across our core business lines |
| Operational efficiency indicators such as retention rate have been consistently at a viable level |
| Now, moving on to the operating side on the supply side, when we speak to a balanced approach, what we mean is that we're not only focused on building out capacity for future business development, but we also want to make sure that as we expand our learning centers, we can still provide a sustainable level of quality of service and a sustainable level of operational efficiency, as we manage our own learning center network |
| And again thanks everybody for joining today and thanks for your questions |
| We believe off-line small class enrichment learning has a viable business model and a clear path for future development |

| So in Q1 what we saw was a gross margin dip to just below 50% |
| Gross margin decreased to 58.9% from 60.2% for the same period last year, mainly due to a higher revenue contribution from our Content Solutions business which currently has a lower margin percentage |
| As we look forward to the next quarter, we expect a quarter-on-quarter decrease in revenue from our learning services and others business driven by seasonal influences |
| So looking ahead to the third quarter as previously noted by Jackson, we anticipate a quarter-over-quarter decrease in revenue due to the seasonal nature of our business |
| So I noticed that our GP margin and OP margin has been quite volatile |
| You already explained that this quarter the GP margin contraction is largely due to the business mix change |
| So in the next quarter I do expect a decrease in gross margin in general |
| Potential risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those outlined in our public filings with the SEC |
| So year-over-year growth rate will be less relevant |
| Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from our current expectations |
| I have a question on margins |
