In recent years, in order to cope with the changes in China’s retail market and improve the company’s business performance, the company began to focus on the strategy of “building a fashion IP ecosystem”, focus on building “media and social platform”, “fashion IP incubation operation platform” and “fashion IP collection platform”, and transform to a new retail platform. According to the market situation and the company’s strategic development needs, the company has acquired Beijing fashion Fengxun Information Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “fashion Fengxun”) in recent years Beijing Shixin Information Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Beijing Shixin”) two fashion new media companies and Internet Marketing Company Hangzhou Yuanwang Network Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Yuanwang network”) to vigorously promote the development of Internet marketing business. In the process of transformation, the company has been optimizing the operation mode of multi brand fashion shoes business. In this process, the company continues to sort out and optimize the original brand business structure, accelerate the improvement of inventory structure, revitalize the company’s assets, improve the operation efficiency of assets and reduce the operation burden. However, since the outbreak of covid-19, the repeated outbreaks in China have had a long-term and sustained impact on local economies. The overall consumer demand is weak, especially on offline commercial sales, which has a great impact on the digestion of the company’s footwear inventory. In addition, the additional costs incurred by the company due to business transformation, As a result, the footwear business was in a state of operating loss throughout the year. On the other hand, in order to further promote the company’s strategic transformation, optimize the company’s inventory structure and accelerate the return of funds, the company increased the promotion of footwear inventory in the fourth quarter of 2021, and quickly digested the inventory with long stock age in the form of promotion or wholesale, It is preliminarily estimated that in the fourth quarter, the impact on the company’s annual profit caused by the above operating activities and the provision for inventory falling price is – 20000 to – 250 million yuan. It is estimated that the provision for bad debts and inventory falling price in the whole year is about 280 to 350 million yuan. 2. In terms of fashion media business, affected by the covid-19 pneumonia epidemic and the macroeconomic downturn in the past two years, on the one hand, upstream advertisers have reduced various marketing activities and reduced advertising marketing budgets, resulting in a significant reduction in advertising marketing demand of fashion media and a downward trend in business volume. They also pay more attention to the transformation effect of advertising marketing with limited budget and pay attention to the ratio of advertising input and output, Under the trend of gradually decreasing new traffic on the media side, the difficulty of traffic realization continues to increase, customers have more strict requirements for marketing effect, and the traffic cost continues to rise. In addition, due to the epidemic, travel in China and abroad is blocked, which also has a great impact on the fashion media to undertake brand promotion activities. As a result of the above factors, the operating income scale and net profit level of fashion Fengxun and Beijing Shixin, which are controlled by the company, have decreased significantly.

Combined with the actual operation of the company and the impact of industrial market changes, the company conducted impairment test on goodwill and various assets in the 2021 annual report in accordance with the accounting standards for Business Enterprises No. 8 – asset impairment and relevant accounting policies. After preliminary investigation and calculation by the company’s financial department and evaluation institution, it is expected that the future profitability of the asset group portfolio of fashion Fengxun and Beijing Shixin will decline. Therefore, the company plans to withdraw the impairment of goodwill of 360803942.26 yuan generated by the acquisition of the above asset group portfolio in 2017. It is expected that the business reputation impairment of 180 million yuan to 270 million yuan will be withdrawn in the current period. The amount of the final provision for impairment will be determined after evaluation and audit by the evaluation institution and audit institution with securities and futures qualification hired by the company.

3. The company began to implement the 2021 equity incentive plan at the beginning of the year, resulting in an amortization expense of about RMB 80.08 million, which also has a great impact on the company’s operating performance.

4. To sum up, it is expected that the company will realize a loss in the net profit attributable to the shareholders of the listed company in 2021, and the net profit attributable to the shareholders of the listed company is expected to be – 430 million yuan to – 645 million yuan.

On the sales side, Yuanwang network achieved rapid growth in 2021, with the annual turnover of orders exceeding 100 million and the sales of Gmv exceeding 10 billion yuan, about 2.5 times that of the same period in 2020.
