The net income attributable to shareholders of the listed company for the reporting period is expected to be a loss of RMB 20 million to 28 million, compared with a loss of RMB 22.1049 million in the same period last year; the net income attributable to shareholders of the listed company after deducting non-recurring gains and losses is expected to be a loss of RMB 10 million to 18 million, compared with a loss of RMB 22.3307 million in the same period last year; the basic earnings per share is expected to be a loss of RMB 0.20/share to 0.28/share.

During the reporting period, affected by multiple factors including intensified competition in the industry and insufficient downstream demand, the company's revenue decreased and profit decreased year-on-year. During the same period, the company insisted on business transformation and made relevant layouts for some new businesses. Among them, the wire harness business has gradually formed income, but due to being in the market cultivation period, corresponding expenses are also increasing, and the profit has not reached expectations yet. During the reporting period, the company provided partial debt relief to Shenzhen Liyou Co., Ltd.
