  VI. Main risks of the issuer

  (A) Industry policy risks

  The company’s main business is research and development, production, sales and technical services of pharmaceutical equipment. The pharmaceutical equipment manufacturing industry mainly involved in the company’s business belongs to one of the six development areas promoted by the "Guidelines for the Development Planning of Pharmaceutical Industry (2016 Edition)" and is strongly supported by the national industrial policy. In the future, with the deepening of China’s medical and health system reform, the policy orientation of the pharmaceutical industry will be adjusted and improved, and the policy environment of the pharmaceutical equipment industry may undergo major changes. If the company can’t adjust its business strategy in time to adapt to the changes in market rules and regulatory policies brought about by the reform of the medical and health system, it will have an adverse impact on the company’s operation.

  (B) Market competition intensifies risks

  The company’s specific business segments can be subdivided into solid preparation equipment series, powder process equipment series, fluid process equipment series, traditional Chinese medicine extraction equipment series, intelligent warehousing and logistics system, and medical research and development services. Although the company’s products and services have certain advantages in the same industry and have established long-term cooperative relations with a number of well-known domestic or international pharmaceutical, health care products, food and logistics enterprises, with the gradual improvement of the overall development level of the domestic pharmaceutical equipment industry, the market competition faced by the company in related business fields may intensify.

  If the company can’t keep the advanced technology and production level, increase the breadth and depth of its sales and service network, or make mistakes in its development strategy and competitive strategy, the company’s market share may decline and its competitiveness may decrease, and these adverse changes may adversely affect the company’s operating performance.

  (3) Investment risks of investment projects with raised funds

  The funds raised by this stock issue to specific targets will be invested in the construction projects of intelligent logistics system production center, pharmaceutical liquid distribution system production center, pharmaceutical R&D service platform upgrade and expansion project, headquarters base construction project and supplementary company working capital. The raised funds investment projects have been carefully and fully studied and demonstrated, and it is expected to produce good economic benefits. The implementation of these projects will effectively improve the company’s technical level and overall production capacity in the pharmaceutical equipment business field, which is conducive to the company’s rational layout of business boards.

  3-3-24

  Block, integrate superior resources, enhance core competitiveness and improve profitability. However, if the construction of this fund-raising investment project fails to be completed on time and in quality due to unforeseen factors, or the downstream market undergoes major adverse changes during the construction investment period, and the expected income of the fund-raising investment project cannot be realized as scheduled, it will directly affect the company’s future profitability. In addition, if the company can’t effectively implement the relevant measures to digest the new capacity, or the relevant measures can’t achieve the expected results, the company may face the risk that the new capacity can’t be digested, which will adversely affect its operating performance.

  (D) Management risk of business scale expansion

  After the completion of this issue of shares to specific targets, with the arrival of raised funds and the implementation of raised funds investment projects, the company’s business scale will be further expanded, and the requirements for management level will be improved. Although the company has accumulated some management experience and trained a group of managers with outstanding ability in the years of development, with the expansion of the company’s business scale, it will become a new challenge for the company to introduce and train all kinds of management talents to match the company’s development trend, optimize the original operation system and management model in time, and establish more effective decision-making procedures and internal control systems. If the company can’t effectively solve the management problems and properly resolve the management risks in the development process, it will adversely affect the company’s production and operation.

  (V) Risk of profit decline caused by depreciation and amortization of new assets.

  As of September 30, 2020, the book value of the company’s fixed assets was 207,625,400 yuan, and the book value of intangible assets was 79,457,300 yuan. The total amount of funds to be raised this time is no more than 450 million yuan (including the principal amount). After the project is completed, the company will add a large amount of long-term assets, and correspondingly increase depreciation and amortization. Therefore, if the fund-raising project fails to produce benefits as scheduled or the actual income is significantly lower than expected, the company will face the risk of profit decline due to the increase in depreciation and amortization of new assets.

  (VI) Risks related to international business

  Since January, 2020, the novel coronavirus epidemic has gradually spread around the world, showing the characteristics of fast spread, wide spread and long duration. At present, significant progress has been made in domestic epidemic control, and socio-economic and production activities are recovering in an orderly manner, but the epidemic is still spreading in many countries around the world. In addition to the epidemic, the international community also has the changing trend of slow global economic growth and declining stability of the international situation.

  In each period of the reporting period, the company’s international business income was 31,142,600 yuan, 31,960,500 yuan, 40,227,400 yuan and 42,587,600 yuan respectively, accounting for 7.00%, 5.52% and 5.72% of the current operating income respectively.

  3-3-25

  And 7.05%. Under the influence of the global novel coronavirus epidemic, the slowdown of economic growth and the decline of the stability of the international situation, the company’s progress in exploring the international market has certain risks. If the international economic situation deteriorates, resulting in a decline in market demand, it will adversely affect the company’s production and operation.

  (VII) Risk of impairment of goodwill

  During the reporting period, the company expanded its business field through endogenous development and extended mergers and acquisitions, and formed a certain scale of goodwill in the process of mergers and acquisitions. By the end of the reporting period, the balance of the company’s book goodwill was RMB 85,735,000, which was formed by the acquisition of two holding subsidiaries, Canaan Lemite and Canaan Feiqi. As of the date of signing this recommendation, the business of the above-mentioned subsidiaries has developed steadily and operated well, and there is no sign of impairment of the company’s book goodwill. In the future, if the operating conditions of the above subsidiaries fail to meet expectations, the company will face the risk of profit decline due to impairment of book goodwill.

  (8) The risk that the immediate return will be diluted.

  After the completion of this issuance, the total share capital and net assets of listed companies will increase to a certain extent, and the overall capital strength of listed companies will be improved. Listed companies will take advantage of this opportunity to raise funds to rationally arrange business segments, integrate superior resources, enhance core competitiveness and improve profitability. However, it takes a certain period from the time when the raised funds are put into use to the time when the fundraising project is put into production and benefits are generated. Before the fundraising project generates benefits, the shareholder return still depends on the company’s existing business foundation. Due to the increase of the company’s total share capital, the company’s earnings per share index may decline after issuing shares to a specific target, and there is a risk of diluting the company’s immediate return in the year of issuing shares to a specific target.

  (9) The risk that the dividends of the original shareholders are reduced and the voting rights are diluted.

  After the completion of this issue of shares to a specific target, the company’s share capital will increase, and the shareholding ratio of the original shareholders will decrease. The undistributed profits accumulated before this issue will be shared by the new and old shareholders after the completion of this issue in proportion to the shares after the issue, so there is a risk that the dividends of the original shareholders will be reduced and the voting rights will be diluted.

  (10) Examination and approval risks

  This issue has been reviewed and approved by the board of directors and shareholders’ meeting of the company, and it still needs to be reviewed and approved by Shenzhen Stock Exchange and approved by China Securities Regulatory Commission. After completing the above examination and approval procedures, the company will apply to Shenzhen Stock Exchange and Shenzhen Branch of China Securities Depository and Clearing Co., Ltd. for stock issuance, registration and listing, and complete the approval procedures for all the shares issued to specific targets. There are uncertainties as to whether the above-mentioned reporting items can be approved and approved for registration, and when they can be approved and approved for registration.

  3-3-26

  (11) Risk of stock price fluctuation

  The company has always strictly followed the requirements of relevant laws and regulations, standardized the company’s behavior, disclosed important information comprehensively, fairly, timely and accurately, and reduced the investment risk of shareholders as much as possible. However, the reasons for the stock price fluctuation are very complicated. The stock price is not only affected by the company’s development prospects and profitability, but also closely related to investors’ psychological expectations, the relationship between stock supply and demand, the national macroeconomic situation and the international political and economic situation. The company’s stock price may fluctuate deviating from the value due to the changes of the above factors. Therefore, investors may suffer losses due to stock market fluctuations when investing in the company’s stock.
