Regarding the Company's risk control of capital loans, we established an evaluation procedure considering the necessity and rationality of the capital loan, the credit information and risk assessment of borrowers, the impact on the Company's operational risks, financial status and shareholders' equity and whether there is collateral its estimated value.
