Special risk tips:
1. The investment of the project is based on the needs of the company’s strategic development and the judgment of the market prospect of iron phosphate industry. However, there are uncertainties in the development trend of the industry, the changes of market conditions and the business development ability of the management team, which will have an uncertain impact on the realization of future business benefits.
2. The project investment still needs to obtain the project land agreed in the contract through the bidding, auction and listing procedure, and there may be the risk of unsuccessful bidding and failure to obtain the agreed construction land in the proposed area. In addition, the construction of the project involves project initiation, environmental assessment approval, work safety license, construction planning license, construction license and other related approval matters, which need to be approved by relevant competent departments.

Given that there are certain uncertainties in the delivery schedule and delivery time of the parcel and the completion time of relevant approval matters, various uncertain factors will also be faced in the process of project construction, resulting in great uncertainty whether the project can be completed and officially put into operation according to the time limit planned by the company. It is expected that the project will not have a significant impact on the operating performance of the company in the short term.
4. The investment amount of the project is large, which is far higher than the current book capital level of the company. Some construction funds in the later stage need to be solved by introducing investors and bank financing. Investors may need to apply for antitrust review, and there are still uncertainties about the completion time of relevant approval matters and whether the financing funds can be in place on time. In case of capital shortage, the investment amount and investment progress of the project may be affected.
5. The investment scale and construction cycle of the project are planned or expected, which does not represent the company’s prediction of future performance, nor does it constitute a performance commitment to shareholders. The company will continue to pay attention to the progress of the project. In case of major changes or phased progress in the follow-up, the company will timely perform the obligation of information disclosure in strict accordance with the requirements of relevant laws, regulations and normative documents.
