The matters related to financial data in the qualified opinion of the company's 2021 annual audit report are as follows:

The related matters involve the financial statement items affected by the retained matters in the total assets

Proportion of the amount of (100 million yuan)

Huaxia Life Insurance Co., Ltd. equity and other non current assets, credit minus 70.00 4.53% acquisition transaction progress and the recoverable value loss of deposit. The measurement rationality of non-public market investment is different from that of other non current financial assets and assets

Disclosure sufficiency: 144.04 9.29% of the allowable value change income of assets and financial business in the standing account

The items of these reserved matters affecting the financial statements include: other non current assets, other non current financial assets, independent account assets, credit impairment losses and income from changes in fair value of financial business.

(I) impact of the above matters on the financial situation

1. The company's acquisition of the equity of Huaxia Life Insurance Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Huaxia life") is still in progress. As of December 31, 2021, the company included the deposit of RMB 7 billion in "other non current assets" for accounting and presentation, and no provision for impairment of the deposit of RMB 7 billion was made. Due to the uncertainty of whether the reorganization plan can obtain the administrative review and approval of the industry regulatory department, the company will account for the deposit of 7 billion yuan in accordance with the accounting standards for business enterprises, the company's accounting policies and accounting estimates according to the reorganization progress and further information obtained. Due to the uncertainty of whether Huaxia life's restructuring plan can be approved by the administrative review and approval of the industry regulatory authorities, ShineWing Certified Public Accountants (special general partnership) (hereinafter referred to as "ShineWing") believes that if this transaction is not reached, the company may recover the deposit or face the risk that the deposit cannot be recovered in full, which has a significant impact on the financial statements. For the "other non current assets" of RMB 7 billion, the amount involved is significant, but it accounts for a low proportion of the company's total assets at the end of 2021 and does not constitute a major part of the company's financial statements.

2. Reserved opinions on matters related to the investment of RMB 14.404 billion by Zhongrong life. The accountant fails to obtain the business data of the invested entity related to the review and evaluation of the financial information of the invested entity; It also failed to obtain sufficient prediction basis for the cash flow related to the year-end fair value valuation report, failed to obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence on the measurement of changes in the fair value of the above-mentioned investment and the disclosure of financial report information based on the actual use of its funds, and issued a qualified opinion on this matter.

Except for the two equity investment projects of Shanghai Beisha Real Estate Co., Ltd. and Nantong Pengxin Investment Development Co., Ltd., which are located in Shanghai and have not issued audit reports due to the epidemic (the company has obtained the financial statements of 2021 confirmed by auditors. Up to now, the audit reports of the two companies have not been obtained) and the trust plan does not need to issue audit reports, Other investment projects have obtained the audited 2021 financial statements of the invested projects and the audit reports.

The company also obtained the valuation report of these invested projects, valued the equity of this part of non listed companies based on the valuation report issued by a third party, and subsequently measured these other non current financial assets in accordance with the accounting standards for business enterprises and relevant accounting policies of the company.

(II) impact of the above matters on operating results and cash flow

The subsequent measurement of the 7 billion yuan deposit paid by the company for the equity transaction of Huaxia life insurance is mainly affected by the progress of the transaction. If the transaction is not reached in the end, the company may recover the deposit or face the risk that the deposit cannot be recovered in full. The company will conduct accounting treatment on the deposit of RMB 7 billion in accordance with the accounting standards for business enterprises, the company's accounting policies and accounting estimates, including estimating the recoverable amount and withdrawing the credit impairment loss according to the recoverable amount. Due to the uncertainty of whether Huaxia life's restructuring plan can be approved by the administrative review and approval of the industry regulatory authorities, ShineWing believes that if this transaction is not reached, the company may recover the deposit or face the risk that the deposit cannot be recovered in full, which has a significant impact on the operating results, but this matter will not change the nature of the company's profit and loss in 2021. The company has fully disclosed the uncertainty of relevant transactions, It is also not expected to lead to negative net assets attributable to shareholders of the parent company, risk early warning, delisting and other matters.

Zhongrong life invested in the equity of non listed companies through the non-public market in 2021. For the financial assets measured at fair value, Zhongrong life insurance has made subsequent measurement on the financial assets measured at fair value according to the fair value measurement model or with the help of the valuation report of external intermediaries, and the corresponding changes in fair value have been included in the income from changes in fair value of financial business in this year.

The above matters also do not affect the cash flow of the company this year.
