&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(II)** **Estimated Results**

In the face of extreme difficulties and severe challenges, the Company insisted on joint efforts of long-term strategies and short-term strategies, making every effort to seize income, reduce costs, revitalize resources, and actively respond to negative impacts. However, as affected by multiple factors such as the epidemic, the operating performance of the Company in 2022 continued to suffer loss.

**IV.** **RISK WARNINGS** 

The finance department of the Company is making every effort to prepare the financial statements for the year of 2022. Due to the significant impact on the Company caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the relevant financial impact is subject to further assessment. In respect of this estimated results, there is no other substantial uncertainty which may affect its accuracy.

**V.** **OTHER EXPLANATORY MATTERS**
