(II) main contents involved in non-standard audit opinions this year
1. Notes on debt forgiveness
The company and its subsidiaries have received the notice of debt exemption and the letter of claim exemption issued by 12 creditors including Huarong (Fujian pilot Free Trade Zone) Investment Co., Ltd. before December 31, 2021. The above creditors irrevocably, irrevocably and irrevocably exempt some / all of their claims against the company and its subsidiaries.

Among them, the amount of exempted creditor's rights as a shareholder of the listed company is 13216768 million yuan, and the amount of exempted creditor's rights of other creditors is 20825217 million yuan.
The annual audit accountant believes that the above-mentioned creditors have failed to obtain sufficient and appropriate evidence for the debt exemption of the company, and the above exemption basis recorded in the "investment income" account is insufficient, so it is impossible to judge the authenticity and commercial rationality of the debt exemption made by other creditors except the creditors who are shareholders of the listed company.
According to the requirements of the regulatory authorities, the company has hired a law firm to conduct special verification and give legal opinions on the above-mentioned creditor's exemption from the company's debt. The first legal opinion issued by Beijing BOC law firm hired by the company has not yet solved the concerns of the regulatory authorities. For the draft of legal opinion after supplementary verification, the regulatory authorities require further supplementary verification and explanation of some contents, and the verification work needs to be continued. On April 26, 2022, BOC Beijing law firm proposed to the company to cancel the special legal service contract signed with the company on the legal services for the exemption of the company's debts by relevant creditors. The company will further communicate and negotiate with BOC Beijing to solve the relevant matters of the special legal service contract. At the same time, in order to actively promote the work, the company has arranged relevant law firms to carry out verification work and entrusted them to issue legal opinions on the debt exemption of the company by relevant creditors of the company.

The company takes the energy storage business as the core, and its main businesses include new energy power engineering and battery manufacturing, new energy vehicle leasing and operation, etc. The above-mentioned new energy business has always been an industry actively advocated and encouraged by the state. Especially after the central economic conference put forward the objectives and timetable of "carbon peak" and "carbon neutralization", China's whole new energy industry ushers in new development opportunities, and the production structure and consumption structure of energy are bound to change greatly. Under the requirements of achieving "carbon peak" in 2030 and "carbon neutralization" in 2060, the country should build a clean, low-carbon, safe and efficient energy system, control the total amount of fossil energy, strive to improve utilization efficiency, implement renewable energy substitution actions, deepen power system reform, and build a new power system with new energy as the main force and new energy storage as the auxiliary. It is estimated that during the "14th five year plan" period, the annual installed capacity of photovoltaic and wind power will reach 120gw, and the proportion of clean energy power generation in the power consumption of the whole society is expected to increase from about 15% at present to 23% in the long term; New energy storage has achieved comprehensive market-oriented development and become one of the key supports for carbon peaking and carbon neutralization in the energy field; The pulling effect of the electric vehicle industry on lithium batteries is expected to reach 2600gwh in 2030, with an industrial output value of about 2.6 trillion yuan.
