Other receivables borrowed – Chengdu Qiankun 3425.12 according to the credit transfer agreement signed between the company and Chengdu Qiankun
According to the agreement, Guiyang Baiyun Chengtou’s 3425.12 loan receivables from Guiyang Baiyun Chengtou are converted into other receivables from Chengdu Qiankun, and the accrued credit impairment is offset at 2882.00 of bad debt provision:

At the end of the period, the company recognized the newly formed other receivables of meizhuang Gaoyuan individually and estimated that the credit impairment risk of this amount was low.
(4) Is there any sudden profit making at the end of the year
Since the substantive controller of the company was replaced by the Department of finance of Henan Province in 2019, the new management of the company has implemented the debt of the company’s accounts receivable as the key work content based on the company’s operating conditions, and made some progress. Solving the debt problem of the company’s accounts receivable through debt restructuring will help to reduce the company’s debt pressure, improve the company’s financial situation and reduce the company’s operating risk, which is in line with the interests of all shareholders of the company. Based on the actual operating conditions of the company in 2021, there is no sudden profit creation at the end of the year.
