(III) contents involved in which opinions cannot be expressed in the 2020 audit report

2、 Matters for which opinions cannot be expressed:

(I) important subsidiaries out of control

1. Judgment of out of control time point

As stated in note XIII (Ⅱ) 1 of the financial statements, due to the performance of the new director, "Millennium design"), Millennium design refused to provide financial data, the company was unable to know the financial status and operating results of Millennium design, and the current director and supervisor of the company continued to take measures to achieve fruitless control. On August 21, 2020, Weihai announced that it lost control of Millennium design, 2020 will not be included in the scope of consolidated statements and will not be managed as a holding subsidiary of the company.

On December 2, 2021, we issued the management communication letter to Waihai Co., Ltd., requiring Waihai Co., Ltd. to "clarify the time point and judgment basis process of losing control of Millennium design, and provide written exchange of opinions". According to the public information, the proposal on the rectification report of Ningbo Securities Regulatory Bureau on the administrative supervision measures taken by the company was considered and adopted at the 44th meeting of the sixth board of directors and the 20th meeting of the sixth board of supervisors on January 12, 2022, and the actual time point when the Millennium design was out of control was confirmed as May 15, 2020. (one independent director abstained from voting)

On January 13, 2022, some directors, supervisors and senior staff at that time sent a joint signed letter (then chairman, then deputy chairman of the board of directors, then some directors, then supervisors, then Secretary of the board of directors, then chief financial officer, then chairman assistant and then deputy general manager), which did not recognize the judgment made by the current management that the Millennium design was out of control on May 15, 2020. On January 14, 2022, any independent director sent a letter, believing that some contents and rectification measures in the rectification report of Waihai company were inconsistent with the facts, and requested the board of directors and management of the company to carefully confirm the time point when the Millennium design was out of control.

On April 13, 2022, we received the reply and relevant materials from Weihai Co., Ltd., but we were unable to verify the authenticity, accuracy and relevance of the materials.

Based on the above, we are unable to obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence on the out of control time point of the Millennium design, and we are unable to judge the out of control time point of the Millennium design.

2. Beginning balance of goodwill impairment

As stated in note V (XX) of the financial statements, Waihai Co., Ltd. made a full provision for impairment in 2019 for the goodwill of RMB 700805 million formed by its acquisition of 8945975% equity of Millennium design in 2017. As the Millennium design was out of control during the reporting period, we were unable to obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence on the rationality of the opening amount of the above goodwill impairment provision.

3. Other non current assets

As stated in note V (XXIII) other non current assets, Millennium design was out of control during the reporting period. According to the evaluation of the management, the equity of Millennium design held by the company and its corresponding impairment provision are still valuable and managed as a long-term asset of the company. During the reporting period, the company transferred it and its corresponding impairment provision to the follow-up accounting of "other non current assets", including the original value of 16953619 million yuan and the impairment of 700805 million yuan, The net value is 994556900 yuan. We are unable to obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence on the accounting treatment of the above individual assets and the accuracy of book value.

4. Profit compensation agreement

As stated in note XIII (Ⅱ) 3 of the financial statements and the profit compensation agreement, Waihai signed profit compensation agreements with some of its shareholders during the Millennium design of major asset restructuring. According to the relevant provisions of the profit compensation agreement, the company needs to hire an audit institution with securities and futures business qualification to issue special audit opinions on the profitability of the target company in 2017, 2018 and 2019 based on the annual report. XIII. (II) 1. As the important subsidiaries are out of control, the Millennium design is out of control during the reporting period, the relevant special audit cannot be carried out, and the relevant results of the implementation of the compensation agreement in 2019 have not yet reached a final conclusion.

(II) the occupation of funds has not been returned and the illegal guarantee has not been lifted

As stated in note III (XXXI) 1 and (3) correction of important accounting errors in the early stage, during the reporting period, the occupation of related parties' funds caused by the inter-bank lending of controlling shareholders' funds in previous years has not been returned. For example, "note Xi, (II) contingencies 3 Changan bank's illegal guarantee case, 4 Gu Wenju's illegal guarantee case", "note XIII, (II) other important matters that have an impact on investors' decision-making 6 major settlement litigation (1) Wang Chongliang's illegal guarantee case, and (2) Shao Zhiyun's illegal guarantee case". During the reporting period, Weihai shares had not been relieved due to the illegal guarantee of the controlling shareholder in the previous year. We cannot judge the recoverability of the above amount.

2、 Elimination of the impact of non-standard opinions in the audit reports of 2018, 2019 and 2020

The board of directors of the company attaches great importance to the matters mentioned in the non-standard opinions of the above audit report, and actively takes effective measures to eliminate the impact of relevant matters.
