3、 Reasons for changing the purpose of raised funds and permanently replenishing working capital

Since its establishment 37 years ago, the company has always adhered to building decoration as its main business. Under the guidance of boutique strategy and high-end market strategy, the company’s decoration business continues to lead the high-end public dress market. After years of development, the company has established a perfect architectural decoration management system, accumulated rich engineering decoration cases, and trained a large number of engineering construction decoration talents. In response to the national call to develop the integration of industry and education, in order to cultivate more industry talents, the company cut into the field of Vocational Education in 2015 and launched the dual business development strategy of “architectural decoration + vocational education”. With the frequent occurrence of policies in the field of vocational education and the introduction of favorable policies, the company issued convertible bonds in July 2016 to raise funds to invest in “online intelligent learning platform and education network construction project”, “vocational education cloud platform and big data center construction project” and “R & D center and teacher training center construction project”.

The above projects were established earlier. After the funds raised by convertible bonds were in place, the field of vocational education and training was greatly affected by relevant policies, and some qualification examinations were cancelled. Affected by this, the demand for vocational education and training fell. Based on the principle of prudence, the company postponed the implementation of raised investment projects. Since January 2020, covid-19 epidemic has continued to recur, and the company’s education and training offline business has been greatly affected by the epidemic. Led by the state, all localities and schools have built their own free online learning platforms, which has also affected the development of the company’s vocational education online training business.

Affected by industry policy changes, covid-19 epidemic and other factors, the company strategically focuses more on the development of the main business of architectural decoration. Over the years, relying on its comprehensive strength in design and construction, the company has created a large number of professional general contracting boutique projects represented by high-end hotels, including theatres, halls, hospitals, commerce and other business forms; The company is also an excellent decoration supplier for large enterprises such as Huawei and Tencent. Since 2018, the company has acquired two enterprises with grade I general contracting qualification for construction engineering and grade a qualification for engineering design and construction industry (Construction Engineering), which provides strong support for the realization of the integrated EPC operation mode of design and construction with complementary qualifications. After many engineering practices and summaries, the company has formed a set of effective EPC project management experience. Significant changes have taken place in the real estate industry recently. Although the company has not been directly affected by the thunderstorm in the real estate industry, the ecological chain of the industry has been greatly impacted. The company’s architectural decoration business has been affected in the aspects of the owner’s selection of partners, the focus on capital, the adjustment of supplier payment mode and so on; At the same time, the state has strengthened the supervision of migrant workers’ wage payment, and the payment cycle of labor fees has also changed greatly. In order to adapt to the current industry changes and competitive situation, through this replenishment of working capital, on the one hand, we can obtain more and better quality projects, at the same time, we can strengthen the confidence of partners and complete the transformation of orders efficiently and quickly.
