The management said that in the first half of the year, the epidemic had a particular impact on the Group’s production, supply chain, and logistics. The gradual introduction, refinement, and implementation of major market regulatory policies and regulations will have a specific impact on demand in the short term.

In the first half of the year, the Group’s revenue and profit declined year on year.

In terms of future prospects, the management said that the group would complete the registration and listing approval of the first-generation medical nebulizer products as soon as possible in the near future, and bring them to the market.
