Work report of the board of directors in 2021
In 2021, the board of directors of Changsha Dialine New Material Sci.&Tech.Co.Ltd(300700) (hereinafter referred to as “the company”) conscientiously performed the duties of the board of directors entrusted by the general meeting of shareholders, diligently carried out various work, safeguarded the interests of shareholders and the company, and continuously improved the level of corporate governance in strict compliance with the company law, the securities law and other national laws and regulations and the articles of association, To promote the sustainable, healthy and stable development of the company. The work of the board of directors in 2021 is reported as follows:
1、 Operation and management of the company in 2021
1. Operation of the company during the reporting period
During the reporting period, the company carried out various work around the annual operation policy, and better controlled the company’s operation cost and operation risk by continuously deepening operation and management innovation, standardizing the company’s governance structure, and improving the internal control process and system. All key work was carried out in an orderly manner and achieved certain results.
In 2021, the company realized an operating revenue of 2707023 million yuan, an increase of 11.45% over the same period of last year; The operating profit was -850818 million yuan, a decrease of 301747% over the same period last year; The net profit attributable to shareholders of listed companies was -781223 million yuan, a decrease of 529501% over the same period of last year.
The main reasons for the large losses compared with the previous year: (1) due to the changes in the development structure of downstream industries far exceeding expectations, the increasing technical requirements of customers for products, the acceleration of product specification transformation, and the failure of timely and effective treatment of some products and main raw materials due to the changes in downstream customers’ demand, resulting in the increase of inventory falling price reserves and affecting the performance of the current period; (2) In order to cope with downstream changes, the company has carried out technical upgrading and transformation of some original production equipment, resulting in an increase in the provision for equipment impairment; (3) Affected by the change of customer market environment, some customers have a long collection cycle due to their own business reasons, and the provision for bad debt reserves of accounts receivable has increased; (4) In 2021, Zhuzhou Dale, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the company, obtained the qualification of high-tech enterprise, and the income tax rate was adjusted from 25% to 15%. Due to the change of tax rate, the deferred income tax assets recognized in the previous period were remeasured, resulting in the decrease of deferred income tax assets, the increase of income tax expenses in the current period and the corresponding decrease of profits; (5) There are new cooperation projects in the reporting period of the company. As the project has not yet entered the stage of large-scale operation, it is still in a state of loss. Facing the adverse situation of sharp decline in operating performance, the company focuses on promoting the release of production capacity and fully improving the operating efficiency of assets. Through the joint efforts of the whole staff, the company’s production equipment has been fully transformed and upgraded in the second half of 2021. The company’s fund-raising project Zhuzhou Dale “industrialization project of diamond line with an annual output of 6 billion meters” has completed all equipment investment and gradually released production capacity. The construction of phase II plant of the company headquarters has been basically completed and partially put into use by the end of 2021, and the production capacity expansion has been carried out in an orderly manner. At the same time, the company has continuously increased investment in product R & D and technological transformation, and the quality of products has been steadily improved, which has laid a solid foundation for the continuous improvement and release of the company’s production capacity. By the end of the reporting period, the production capacity of the company’s diamond line has reached more than 800000 km / month, and it is expected that the production capacity will reach more than 1 million km / month in the first quarter of next year. The company has been deeply engaged in the diamond thread industry for more than ten years, and has a deep experience in brand and technical precipitation. In order to expand and strengthen the diamond line industry, in addition to the current expanded production capacity, the company still needs to further strengthen the in-depth cooperation with customers, prepare for the next production capacity expansion, and ensure that the company can provide customers with stable and scalable large-scale supply capacity, continuous and stable quality and continuous product upgrading capacity, so as to become a high-quality and stable supplier for customers.
After nearly two years of performance difficulties, the company has made a qualitative leap in technology, product quality and production capacity. In order to further consolidate and enhance the above foundation, ensure the stability of the company’s talent team and better introduce excellent talents, the company launched employee equity incentive in December 2021, so as to boost the confidence of employees and help the company develop better in the future.
2. Research and development
In 2021, the company invested 17.31 million yuan in R & D expenses, an increase of 12.04% over the previous year, accounting for 6.39% of operating revenue. In order to ensure the continuous improvement of technical ability and market competitiveness, although the company still faces the pressure of sharp decline in performance during the reporting period, the company’s investment in R & D continues to increase, providing a strong driving force for the sustainable development of the company. In combination with the market demand and development trend, the company first concentrated resources to solve the technical difficulties of existing products, while strengthening the standardization of technology research and development and process technology management, realizing the ability to provide customers with large-scale products of sustainable and stable quality. During the reporting period, according to the requirements of the market for “thin line” of products, the company’s 38 micron chip line products have been successfully developed and used in the market on a large scale; In the second half of 2021, the company has successfully developed 35 micron diamond wire products; At the same time, diamond wire products with tungsten wire instead of carbon steel wire as bus have been successfully developed and applied to customers in batch.

During the reporting period, some new products achieved large-scale sales, such as grinding and polishing materials, stone material cutting lines, tungsten wire ropes, etc. In order to further improve equipment production efficiency and reduce costs, the company completed the technical transformation and upgrading of some production equipment in the second half of 2021. For example, the mainstream model of the production line was upgraded from 6-line machine to 8-line machine. At the same time, 10-15 line models were also developed, creating good conditions for further production expansion.
3. Market development
In 2021, the marketing market will continue to focus on the goal of customer demand orientation, and implement differentiated market promotion and management: the strategic core key customers will adopt the team marketing method to integrate the company’s technology, quality and marketing resources to meet the needs of customers in an all-round way; The customer’s industrial layout changes and adopts the cross regional sales mode of business manager.
