3. Assuming that the total amount of funds raised this time does not exceed RMB 450,000.00 (including the principal amount), the impact of issuance costs and other impacts will not be considered for the time being. It is assumed that the number of shares to be issued is not more than 10% of the company's total share capital before the issuance, that is, no more than 43,615,356 shares (including the number of shares). When forecasting the total share capital of the company, only the impact of the issuance of shares is considered, and the changes in share capital caused by equity incentives, option incentives, conversion increases, repurchases, share payments and other factors are not considered.

In view of the need for a certain period of use and benefit generation of raised funds, in the case of the company's share capital and net assets are increased, if the company's performance has not obtained a corresponding increase in the current range, the company's issuance to specific objects is completed

There is a risk that spot returns (financial metrics such as earnings per share) will be diluted. In addition, in the event of a significant change in the assumptions of the foregoing analysis or in the Company's operating conditions, the possibility of a change in the dilution of the immediate return as a result of the Offering cannot be ruled out.

The company's profitability assumption is only to measure the impact of the diluted spot return issued to specific objects on the company's main financial indicators, and does not represent the company's judgment on the operating situation and trend, nor does it constitute the company's profit forecast and performance commitment, and investors should not make investment decisions based on this assumption.
