Kaidianbao technology reported an operating revenue of 866.9956 million yuan in the semi annual report of 2021, and realized a net profit attributable to the parent company of 8.0726 million yuan, which improved year-on-year. At the beginning of the third quarter, kaidianbao technology failed to meet the expectations due to the intensification of market competition and the development situation of the industry. The offline acquiring transaction volume decreased. Although kaidianbao technology tried to improve its profitability by adjusting policies, reducing costs and increasing efficiency, it still failed to meet the expectations. At the end of the third quarter, The management has comprehensively considered that the service provider has a certain wait-and-see attitude towards the renewal of the national bank card acquiring license of kaidianbao technology, which has a certain impact on the business development or. Therefore, it is impossible to estimate the time when the products launched in the early stage can reverse the downward trend of operating revenue and net profit, so the impairment test of goodwill has not been conducted for the time being.
At the beginning of 2022, with the formation of annual financial data of kaidianbao technology, the signs of goodwill impairment were basically clear. In order to objectively and fairly reflect the asset value and financial status of the company, according to the relevant provisions of the accounting standards for Business Enterprises No. 8 – asset impairment and the accounting regulatory risk tips No. 8 – goodwill impairment, the company was established in January 2022

Communicate with the evaluation institution and the audit institution on the performance of kaidianbao technology, and according to the communication with the evaluation institution and the audit institution, for the principle of prudence, it is proposed to make an overall impairment provision of 140 million yuan to 195 million yuan for the asset group of kaidianbao technology including goodwill, which will be disclosed in the performance forecast of the company in 2021. The relevant calculation of the impairment of the asset group including goodwill is based on the data of kaidianbao technology management, and the audit and evaluation institution has not issued a formal audit and evaluation report on the impairment of goodwill.
(IV) adequacy of provision for goodwill impairment in previous years
On September 30, 2017, the company purchased 45% of the equity of kaidianbao technology, resulting in M & a goodwill not under the same control. According to the accounting standards for Business Enterprises No. 8 – asset impairment, the company determines whether there is impairment by comparing the recoverable amount of the asset group or combination of asset groups containing goodwill with its book value. From 2016 to 2018, kaidianbao technology exceeded its performance commitment. In 2019, kaidianbao technology realized an income of 3575.1714 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 7.56%, and realized a net profit attributable to the parent company of 299.3739 million yuan. The company hired an evaluation institution with qualification in the securities industry to evaluate the goodwill without impairment.
In 2020, kaidianbao technology was affected by the epidemic, resulting in a year-on-year decline in transaction volume. At the same time, affected by factors such as intensified market competition and the development form of the industry, the gross profit margin also decreased, and the annual net profit attributable to the parent company was -97.8179 million yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 132.67%, showing signs of impairment, According to the appraisal results of the appraisal report No. [2021] 010505 issued by zhongtonghua Assets Appraisal Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “zhongtonghua appraisal”) hired by the company, the company has made a goodwill impairment provision of 300.3683 million yuan for the purchase of 45% equity of kaidianbao technology. Therefore, the company’s provision for goodwill impairment in previous years is sufficient.
(V) basis, calculation process and rationality of this impairment provision
The revenue of kaidianbao technology in 2021 decreased by 43.26% compared with that in 2020. However, by optimizing the organizational structure and post structure, improving work efficiency and controlling labor costs, the annual net profit was about – 19 million yuan, a year-on-year loss reduction, but the annual profit did not meet expectations. In view of the above, the company adjusted the future operation forecast data of kaidianbao technology. After the preliminary goodwill impairment test, it was found that there were signs of goodwill impairment. Based on the principle of prudence, the company judged that the provision for goodwill impairment should be accrued in 2021.
It is preliminarily estimated that the provision for impairment of goodwill formed by the acquisition of kaidianbao technology will be about 140-195 million yuan on December 31, 2021. With the successful renewal of kaidianbao technology payment license, if the service provider’s confidence in the company is improved, the early business plans can be implemented smoothly, and the transaction volume of kaidianbao technology will grow steadily and continuously in 2022,

Tel: 010-67085873 Fax: 010-67084147 postal code: 100062
It is estimated that 140 million yuan of goodwill impairment provision will be required in 2021; If it is conservatively estimated that the future will continue to be affected by market competition, industry development and other factors, and the growth of transaction volume does not meet the expectation, it is estimated that more than 140 million yuan of goodwill impairment provision will need to be withdrawn in 2021.
If the above estimated amount of goodwill impairment provision is withdrawn, the book value of goodwill at the end of 2021 is 367-422 million yuan (including 363-418 million yuan of goodwill of kaidianbao technology related assets). According to the accounting standards for business enterprises, the above goodwill will not be amortized, but shall be subject to impairment test at the end of each year in the future. If the economic, technical or legal environment in which kaidianbao technology operates and the market in which it operates have undergone or will undergo significant adverse changes in the current period or in the near future, or there is evidence that its operating performance has been or will be lower than expected, the company still has the risk of goodwill impairment. If this part of goodwill is impaired, it may have an adverse impact on the current profits and losses of the listed company.
