It recently issued an announcement stating that it plans to adjust the acquisition plan of Shenzhen Xinpu Automation Equipment Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Xinpu Automation" or "target company"), and change the original planned acquisition of 100% equity of Xinpu Automation to the planned acquisition of 86.87% stake in , mainly because the remaining part of 13.13% stake in related transactions review procedures .
Hausen shares believe that there are huge growth opportunities in the lithium battery market and its equipment market, and they are in the current stage of seizing huge new markets.

However, from the perspective of the two sides of the matter, although this transaction is conducive to Hausen Co., Ltd.'s opening up the new energy market, there are risks such as the performance commitments that may not be realized and the target company's value-added rate and debt ratio are relatively high. After the acquisition plan of

According to the announcement, this plan adjustment is to no longer include the 13.13% equity held by Yongcheng No. 2 in the scope of this transaction. The equity of this part of the target company held by
Yongcheng No. 2 is the equity it acquired from He Chengjian in November 2021. This part of the equity was acquired by He Chengjian in December 2017. At that time, there was a possibility that Yinghe Technology would have defects in the related transaction review procedures for the disposal of this part of the equity. When Yinghe Technology withdrew from the target company, Wang Weidong is the chairman and president of Yinghe Technology, and Xie Xia is the financial director of Yinghe Technology. The above-mentioned equity held by He Chengjian was once held by Wang Weidong and Xie Xia on behalf of him. According to the announcement, the agency holding relationship may be formed when Yinghe Technology disposes the equity of the target company.
If this is the case, the transaction constitutes an associated transaction.

In order to protect the interests of Yongcheng No. 2 and at the same time accelerate the transaction process, regarding the above-mentioned 13.13% of the equity of Xinpu Automation held by Yongcheng No. 2, Mao Tiejun, Wang Zhiquan, Luo Xiaofu and Ruipu Investment reached an agreement with Yongcheng No. 2 to confirm that Yongcheng No. 2 has the right to require the above-mentioned four parties to acquire the above-mentioned 13.13% of the equity at the agreed time with investment costs and reasonable returns.

performance commitments may not be able to achieve the performance commitment plan of
transactions. Mao Tiejun, Yongcheng No. 2, Ruipu Investment, Tang Qianjun, Wang Zhiquan, Luo Xiaofu and Ma Qian are the performance commitment parties.
performance commitment party promises that the target company Xinpu Automation's audited net profit attributable to shareholders shall not be less than RMB 78 million in in 2022, 2023 and 2024, corresponding to the net profit of each year shall not be less than RMB 18 million, RMB 25 million and RMB 35 million respectively.

In addition to the above three years, the net profit in 2025 will not be less than 37 million yuan.
It is worth mentioning that from 2022 to 2025, there is a certain gap between the target company's income method 's predicted net profit and the performance promised net profit. Among them, the predicted net profit in 2022 is 23.1365 million yuan, but the promised net profit is 18 million yuan; the two are almost the same in 2023, and in the next two years, the predicted net profit will be less than the promised net profit.
Hausen Co., Ltd. in the announcement pointed out the risks that the performance commitment cannot be realized, and stated that due to the influence of various factors, if adverse factors affect production and operation occur during the performance commitment period, the target company has the risk that the actual net profit cannot reach the promised net profit.

It is expected to achieve revenue of 87.203 million yuan in the second half of 2022, that is, the estimated revenue of 171.7203 million yuan in 2022. If
is based on the net sales profit margin forecast from January to June 2022 and considering the large amount of receivables of 7.824 million yuan of long-term age , the net profit in 2022 is expected to reach 18.8998 million yuan. However, compared with the predicted net profit of 18 million yuan in 2022, the net profit margin is 4.2367 million yuan lower. If the annual net profit margin decreases, or the long-age receivable cannot be recovered in time, the profit difference will further increase. has the risk that the actual net profit in 2022 cannot reach the promised net profit .
Goodwill impairment and high debt ratio "risk"
According to the appraisal report, with December 31, 2021 as the appraisal base date, the appraisal value of the target company's 100% equity is 273 million yuan, an increase of 213 million yuan compared with the parent company's net assets of 59.953 million yuan, an increase of 213 million yuan, and an increase of 's value-added rate of 355.36% ; the net assets attributable to the parent shareholders are 58.1794 million yuan, an increase of 215 million yuan, and an increase of 's value-added rate of 369.24% . On this basis, the transaction amount of the target asset was determined to be 232 million yuan.
preparation review report shows that after the completion of this transaction, the goodwill of Hausen Co., Ltd., a listed company, increased from 0 yuan to 143.0376 million yuan, accounting for 3.62% of the total assets at the end of the latest period and 10.24% of the net assets at the end of the latest year.
To estimate the extent to which the goodwill formed after the completion of this transaction will have an impact on the future operating performance of the listed company, Hausen Co., Ltd. conducted a sensitivity analysis on its impact in the announcement. The analysis results show that the impact of the amount of goodwill impairment on the changes in net profit after impairment is 1.64 times.
In addition, after acquiring the target company, it may also lead to a high debt-to-asset ratio of the listed company.

During the same period, Hausen Co., Ltd.'s debt-to-asset ratio was 61.43%, 63.20% and 67%, which was lower than the debt ratio of the target company.
As for the reason for the high debt ratio of the target company, Hausen Co., Ltd. believes that this is mainly due to the large amount of the contractual liability account on its balance sheet. Since the non-standard automation equipment industry usually adopts the 3-3-3-1 settlement model, the target company's products only confirm revenue at the final acceptance. Before the revenue is recognized, the target company recognizes the prepayments collected as contract liabilities, so the amount of contract liabilities is relatively large.
At the end of 2020, the end of 2021 and the end of June 2022, the contract liabilities of the target company were RMB 157.7058 million, RMB 105.6936 million and RMB 88.0241 million, respectively, accounting for 56.57%, 48.82% and 43.71% of the total amount of liabilities, respectively.
