In the first three quarters of 2021, the company realized an operating income of 273099100 yuan, the net profit attributable to shareholders of listed companies was -5695300 yuan, and the net profit attributable to shareholders of listed companies after deducting non recurring profits and losses was -9390200 yuan. The net profit attributable to shareholders of Listed Companies in the previous three quarters included 18.1029 million yuan of accrued share based payment expenses. Since the performance indicators set in the second phase of the restricted stock incentive plan have not been completed, the company, in accordance with the relevant provisions of the accounting standards and in communication with the annual audit accountant, offset the second phase of share based payment expenses accrued in 2021 on the balance sheet date, involving an amount of 13.45 million yuan, resulting in a significant increase in the net profit of the company in the fourth quarter of 2021.

In the absence of cancellation of the share based payment plan, if it has been determined that the non market conditions in the service term conditions and performance conditions cannot be met, or it is expected that the non market conditions in the service term conditions and performance conditions corresponding to the unlocking batch in the future will not be met, the relevant expenses of share based payment may not be recognized in the current period, And the share based payment expenses (if any) corresponding to these batches that have been accumulated and recognized in the previous period shall be reversed.
