reply:

1. Calculation of relevant asset impairment reserves at the time point of the previous performance forecast

(1) Calculation method of impairment of biological assets

The company’s impairment provision is mainly formed by the withdrawal of inventory and productive biological assets. The ending inventory is measured by the lower of cost and net realizable value, and the difference between the inventory cost and its net realizable value is withdrawn and recognized as impairment provision; At the end of the period, productive biological assets are measured according to the lower of their recoverable amount than their book value, and the difference between the recoverable amount of productive biological assets and their book value is recognized as impairment provision. Inventories are mainly used for recent sales. The company confirms its net realizable value and calculates the impairment provision in combination with the recent market sales price and market fluctuation at the time point of performance forecast, book balance cost and estimated new breeding cost. The specific process is as follows:

The sum of the current cost of each pig herd plus the cost that needs to be invested from the estimated breeding to 130kg is lower than the net realizable value in the future.

Productive biological assets are mainly used for self breeding and breeding. The company recognizes the recoverable amount and calculates the impairment provision in combination with the changes in the stock of fertile sows and the price fluctuation of piglets. The specific process is as follows:

Productive biological assets (breeding pigs): the net cash flow of effective piglets in the next three years is discounted to the balance sheet date and the impairment is calculated and withdrawn compared with the cost. Calculation method of net realizable value in the future: (number of existing breeding pigs (1 – elimination rate of breeding pigs) average litter survival rate estimated sales price + recovery value of eliminated breeding pigs – cash cost) discount rate.

Productive biological assets (reserve breeding pigs): calculation method: net realizable value = basic weight price + exceeding basic weight impairment is accrued by comparing the sales price of fat pigs with the existing cost.

(2) Calculation of relevant asset impairment reserves at the time point of the previous performance forecast

The management of the company, in combination with the judgment of the trend of pig marketing price in 2021, believes that the pig marketing price has fallen to a low level in the third quarter of 2021, and has increased significantly in the fourth quarter of 2021. Although it fell slightly in early 2022, the pig price will not continue to fall significantly in the future, Therefore, when preparing the financial statements in January 2022, the company measured the impairment of the inventory falling price reserves, used the pork price sold to the outside world at the end of December 2021 to test the impairment of biological assets, and accrued the inventory falling price reserves of consumable biological assets of 20.65 million yuan. The calculation process of consumable biological assets with impairment is as follows:

Unit: 10000 yuan

Consumption to be released

Population book cost estimated cost estimated recoverable value impairment cost

Waiting suckling pig 3768211581027195784818466381112.1

Total 134878719279732767573070225206532

2. Macro environment, industry status, recent pig market price trend

In January 2021, with the effective control of classical swine fever, China’s pig production capacity gradually recovered, the slaughter volume increased, and the pig price continued to fall sharply. By October 8, 2021, the low point of pig price stage is 10.78 yuan / kg, which is 73.69% lower than the highest point of 40.98 yuan / kg in November 2019. Compared with the previous pig cycle, the rapid decline has accelerated the clearing of pig production capacity. By the end of 2021, the number of fertile sows in China has decreased month by month for six consecutive months.

At the same time, since October 2021, the demand for pigs in China has improved seasonally, and the demand for pigs has increased due to more pickles and enemas on the market and the stock period of the Spring Festival. In addition, the central and local governments carried out the collection and storage of 30000 tons of pork, and the pig price rebounded slightly in the short term, rising from the lowest point of 10.78 yuan / kg to 16.30 yuan / kg at the end of 2021, an increase of 51.20%.

Based on the trend of pig price in 2021 and the continuous decline of fertile sows, the management of the company judged in the announcement of 2021 annual performance forecast on January 29, 2022 that the number of pigs sold in the first half of 2022 is expected to trend downward. Under the condition of rigid pork demand, it is expected that the price of pigs will not continue to decline significantly in the first half of 2022.

However, after February 2022, with the decrease of pork market demand after the Spring Festival, the supply of pigs exceeded the demand, which led to the further decline of pig prices, which was much higher than the previous judgment of the company’s management. According to the monitoring of the national development and Reform Commission, from February 21 to 25, 2022, the national average pig grain price ratio was 4.98:1, entering the level-1 early warning range of excessive decline determined in the working plan for improving the regulation mechanism of government pork reserves and ensuring supply and price stability in the pork market. The national development and Reform Commission and relevant departments immediately started the collection and storage of the central frozen pork reserve and guided all localities to actively collect and store.

After the introduction of this favorable policy, pig prices still did not stop the downward trend.

3. Consideration of the same factors in the performance forecast of Companies in the same industry

During the reporting period, the performance forecast of Listed Companies in the same industry in 2021 and the impairment of biological assets are shown in the following table:

Unit: 100 million yuan

(2) Rationality of supplementary provision for impairment

The company revised the performance forecast of 2021 and added the provision for impairment, which is mainly due to the continued decline of pig market price after the balance sheet date due to the influence of market supply.

Affected by the macro policies of the industry and the state, the price of live pigs fluctuates greatly. At the same time, the pig breeding cycle is relatively long, so it is difficult to predict the sales price at the time of marketing. The company has also predicted in the original performance
