[Lotus Holdings responds to inquiry letter: There is uncertainty as to whether Lotus Zixing can make a profit throughout the year] Jinshi Data reported on September 12 that Lotus Holdings responded to the Shanghai Stock Exchange's inquiry letter on matters related to the company's stock option incentive plan. The performance indicators set for the motivated employees in the company's equity incentive this time are significantly higher, and there are difficulties in achieving them. Some of the computing power service contracts currently signed by Lotus Zixing may have the risk that the actual time required to recover the purchase costs will exceed expectations or cannot be recovered. As of August 2024, Lotus Zixing is still in a loss-making state, and there is uncertainty as to whether it can make a profit throughout the year. In order to ensure the implementation of the procurement plan, Lotus Zixing still needs to pay approximately 310 million yuan, and has not yet finalized the signing of an additional credit line or financial leasing contract. According to current estimates, there may still be a demand for approximately 780 million yuan in equipment purchase funds in the next two years, and there is great financing pressure. Some subsidiaries of Houci Technology, which are controlled by the company's actual controller, have debts that have not been fully repaid and assets have been seized and frozen.
