On the evening of March 5th, Jinma replied to the Commission. It supplemented the effects of new energy vehicles subsidy adjustment on subsequent profitability. It is reported that new energy vehicles subsidy included in revenues in 2014, 2015 and 2016 were, respectively, 443 million yuan, 1.141 billion yuan and 1.551 billion yuan, accounting for 6.69%, 8.30% and 6.89% respectively. However, Jinma believes that the the decline of financial subsidies for new energy vehicles does not affect so much. With the rapid development of new energy industry, corresponding components supporting enterprises develop rapidly and industrial scale advantages gradually formed at the same time. Decline of subsidy instead forces the technology to upgrade constantly. Therefore, the corresponding parts and accessories cost gradually decrease and the quality of products will also be greatly improved.

According to the supplementary provisions, Jinma will raise no more than 2 billion yuan from additional shareholder, and the funds will all be used for new energy technology: research and development of new energy vehicle reducer, motor and motor controller, power battery, vehicle controller, charging, increasing range and other core areas. It will also construct trial and test technology center, covering product trial-manufacture, and product test (including vehicle, system, assembly, parts, materials, etc.).
