There may be multiple expense amortization in the fourth quarter of 2021, which will have a certain impact on the net profit of a single quarter. According to the company’s previous annual reports, China Tourism Group Duty Free Corporation Limited(601888) will carry out accounting treatment on inventory falling price reserves, bonus incentive expenses and user deferred points in the fourth quarter. Therefore, we believe that the company’s single quarter profit in the fourth quarter of 2021 may be affected by the above expenses. Because the company’s inventory involves customs inspection and epidemic prevention before warehousing, we believe that the statistical process of the company’s inventory falling price reserves will be relatively long, so the current specific inventory impairment level cannot be accurately confirmed.
