An investor asked on the investor interaction platform: May I ask the Secretary, although Yifan's revenue declined significantly in the first quarter of 2022, its gross profit was basically the same as that in the first quarter of 2021, but why did the deduction of non profit decline sharply by 30% without reducing the gross profit? Why did the sales expenses increase by 15% in the first quarter when the revenue fell by 20 +%? Why did the tax expenses in the cash flow statement increase by as much as 100% in the first quarter? Please be sure to give a responsible reply to the shareholders. Thank you.
