Form 20-F filed April 28, 2023
Form 20-F/A filed May 12, 2023
File No. 001-38799
Dear Sir/Madam:
We have set forth below responses to the comments
of the staff (the “Staff”) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”)
contained in the Staff’s letter dated July 5, 2023, (the “Staff’s Letter”), with respect to the
Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, as amended (the “Annual
Report”). The numbered paragraphs below correspond to the numbered comments in the Staff’s Letter and the Staff’s
comments are presented in bold Italics.
Form 20-F/A filed on May 12, 2023
Controls and procedures, page 1
1. We
note your disclosure that management has determined that your internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”) was not
effective as of December 31, 2022 due to certain material weakness. However, we also note your disclosure that your management, with
the participation of your chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has concluded that disclosure controls and procedures
(“DCP”) were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report. Please explain to us how you concluded DCP were
effective while ICFR was determined not to be effective.
The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s
comment, and will revise Item 15 of its Annual Report to disclose management’s determination that the Company’s disclosure
controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2022. The Company has attached draft Amendment No. 3 to the Annual
Report including amended Item 15 hereto as Annex A.
Form 20-F filed on April 28, 2023
Introduction, page iii
2. At
the onset of introduction, please disclose prominently that you are not a Chinese operating company but a British Virgin Islands holding
company with operations conducted by your subsidiaries and through contractual arrangements with a variable interest entity (VIE) based
in China and that this structure involves unique risks to investors. Explain whether the VIE structure is used to replicate foreign investment
in Chinese-based companies where Chinese law prohibits direct foreign investment in the operating companies, and disclose that investors
may never directly hold equity interests in the Chinese operating company. Your disclosure should acknowledge that Chinese regulatory
authorities could disallow this structure, which would likely result in a material change in your operations and/or value of your common
stock, including that it could cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or become worthless.
In response to the Staff’s
comment, the Company will revise the Introduction to the Annual Report to include the disclosures described above. The Company has attached
draft Amendment No. 3 to the Annual Report including the amended Introduction hereto as Annex A.
If you have any questions
relating to the foregoing or wish to discuss any aspect of the Company’s filing, please call or email our legal counsel, Lan Lou
at (917) 661-8175 or loul@junhe.com. Thank you for your time and attention to this filing.

INTRODUCTION
On May 7, 2020, Scienjoy
Holding Corporation, formerly known as Wealthbridge Acquisition Limited (“Wealthbridge”), consummated the transactions contemplated
by the Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”), dated as of October 28, 2019, by and among SHC, Scienjoy,
Lavacano Holdings Limited (“Lavacano”), and WBY Entertainment Holdings Ltd. (“WBY”, together with Lavacano, the
“Sellers”), pursuant to which SHC acquired 100% the issued and outstanding equity interests of Scienjoy from the Sellers and
changed its name to Scienjoy Holding Corporation.
Scienjoy Holding Corporation
is not a Chinese operating company but a British Virgin Islands holding company with operations conducted by its subsidiaries and through
contractual arrangements with the variable interest entities, or “VIEs,” based in China. Scienjoy Holding Corporatiorin currently
operates majority of the businesses in China through Zhihui Qiyuan (Beijing) Technology, Co. Ltd. (“Zhihui Qiyuan”), Sixiang
Qiyuan (Hangzhou) Culture Technology Co., Ltd. (“Sixiang Qiyuan”) and their respective subsidiaries. Zhihui Qiyuan and its
subsidiaries are referred to as Zhihui Qiyuan VIEs in this annual report. Sixiang Qiyuan and its subsidiaries are referred to as Sixiang
Qiyuan VIEs in this annual report. Zhihui Qiyuan VIEs and Sixiang Qiyuan VIEs are collectively referred to as the “VIEs” in
this annual report.
The VIE structure is used
to provide investors with exposure to foreign investment in China-based companies where PRC law prohibits direct foreign investment in
the operating companies in China. This structure involves unique risks to investors. There are contractual arrangements among our PRC
subsidiaries, the VIEs and their nominee shareholders. We have evaluated the guidance in FASB ASC 810 and concluded that we are the primary
beneficiary of the VIEs because of these contractual arrangements. Accordingly, under U.S. GAAP, the financial statements of the VIEs
are consolidated as part of our financial statements.
Investors
in our Class A Ordinary Shares thus are not purchasing equity interest in our operating entities in China but instead are purchasing equity
interest in a British Virgin Islands holding company. As used in this annual report, “SHC” refers to SCIENJOY HOLDING CORPORATION;
“we,” “us,” “our company,” “our,” or “the Company” refer to SCIENJOY HOLDING
CORPORATION and its subsidiaries; “our PRC subsidiaries” refer to our wholly foreign owned entities (the “WFOEs”),
Sixiang Infinite (Beijing) Technology Co., Ltd. (“WXBJ”), Sixiang Infinite (Zhejiang) Culture Technology Co., Ltd. (“WXZJ”),
Scienjoy International Limited, and Scienjoy BeeLive Limited and their respective subsidiaries. The “VIEs” refer to the PRC
variable interest entities, including Zhihui Qiyuan VIEs and Sixiang Qiyuan VIEs. Zhihui Qiyuan VIEs include Zhihui Qiyuan (Beijing) Technology,
Co. Ltd. (智汇启源(北京)科技有限公司)
or Zhihui Qiyuan, a limited liability company organized and existing under the laws of the PRC, and Zhihui Qiyuan’s subsidiaries,
including Hai Xiu (Beijing) Technology Company Co. Ltd., Beijing Le Hai Technology Co. Ltd., Beijing Sixiang Shiguang Technology Co. Ltd.,
Sixiang Mifeng (Tianjin) Technology Co., Ltd (formerly known as Tianjin Guangju Dingfei Technology Co., Ltd.), Changxiang Infinite Technology
(Beijing) Co., Ltd., ZhiHui QiYuan (HaiNan) Investment Co., Ltd., HuaYuHeFeng (Qingdao) Technology Co., Ltd., Beijing Weiliantong Technology
Co., Ltd. Chuangda Zhihui (Beijing) Technology Co., Ltd (“CDZH”), and Beijing Huayi Dongchen Technology Co., Ltd. (“HYDC”),
each such company formed under PRC Law. Sixiang Qiyuan VIEs include Sixiang Qiyuan (Hangzhou) Culture Technology Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries,
including Xiuli (Zhejiang) Culture Technology Co., Ltd., Leku (Zhejiang) Culture Technology Co., Xiangfeng (Zhejiang) Culture Technology
Co., Ltd., and Hongren (Zhejiang) Culture Technology Co., Ltd., each such company formed under PRC Law.
Our corporate structure is
subject to risks associated with our contractual arrangements with the VIEs. The Company and its investors may never directly hold equity
interests in the businesses that are conducted by the VIEs. Uncertainties in the PRC legal system could limit our ability to enforce these
contractual arrangements, and these contractual arrangements have not been tested in a court of law. Because we do not hold equity interests
in the VIEs, we are subject to risks due to the uncertainty of the interpretation and application of the PRC laws and regulations regarding
VIEs and the VIE structure, including but not limited to regulatory review of overseas listing of PRC companies through a special purpose
vehicle, and the validity and enforcement of the contractual arrangements with the VIEs. We are also subject to the risk that the PRC
government could disallow the VIE structure, which would likely result in a material change in our operations and as a result the value
of our securities may depreciate significantly or become worthless. See “Risk Factors - R
