(2) Reasons for the postponement of the industrialization project of AI vision solutions in the IoT field

Since the raised funds have been in place, the company's board of directors and management have attached great importance to and actively and steadily promoted the development of fundraising projects, and the company's core technical capabilities and industrial development in the field of intelligent vehicles have been improved

The product matrix is more perfect. Based on its continued bullishness in the field, the company moved into the IoT space in December 2022

Additional capital has been invested in the industrialization project of AI vision solutions.

In recent years, with the deepening of the automotive industry and the technology industry, the smart car market has shown the characteristics of fierce competition, rapid iteration of product technology, and continuous evolution of user needs and market competition. In order to cope with the changes in the market environment, the company closely combines the latest market trends and the real-time needs of customers, continuously optimizes the specific plan in the implementation of the fundraising project, and carries out multiple rounds of iterations in technology to improve the overall quality of the fundraising project and the use effect of the raised funds. The company has carried out a detailed combing, optimization and upgrading of the project plan: first, accelerate the improvement of the technology and product capabilities in the five directions of intelligent cockpit, intelligent driving, intelligent parking, intelligent visualization (AVM, blind spot assistance), and extravehicular intelligent assistance, so as to achieve a full range of productization.

Steadily achieve market-oriented implementation and continuously increase market share. Second, in the direction of ADAS and APA, the company's pure vision-related technologies such as 2D&3D traffic markings, uphill and downhill, and inclined ramp recognition, white paper object targets, and general obstacle detection have reached the global cutting-edge level, and high-level technologies such as weak graphics and localized visual NOA are also becoming more and more mature, and the company will also focus on enriching and iterating the aforementioned technologies. Thirdly, the company closely follows the idea of "reducing costs" in the market to build cars, and in addition to continuing to optimize the overall pure vision solution of L2+APA based on the TDA 4 platform with a very high technical threshold, it will also enrich the support strategies of other low and medium platforms to meet the differentiated needs of customers.

In summary, the company prudently planned the use of raised funds, determined the pace of raised funds according to market changes and technological changes, and extended the implementation cycle of AI vision solution industrialization projects in the IoT field. In order to ensure that the construction results of the project better meet the company's development requirements, after comprehensive analysis and prudent evaluation, the company intends to extend the date when the project reaches the intended usable state to June 2025.

Fourth, the impact of the postponement of the fundraising project

The company's industrialization project of AI vision solutions in the IoT field has been postponed, which is implemented by the company according to the project

The prudent decisions that need to be made are in line with the actual situation of the company's development and help to ensure the practicality of the fundraising project and the effectiveness of the use of the raised funds. The extension of the project does not change or disguise the use of raised funds and damage the interests of shareholders, will not have a significant adverse impact on the normal operation of the company, in line with the company's long-term development plan, in line with the relevant regulations of the China Securities Regulatory Commission and the Shanghai Stock Exchange on the management of funds raised by listed companies.
