Group 1: Acquisition Strategy - The new acquisition plan aims for a quick completion to avoid the lengthy process associated with issuing shares, which is crucial given the company's declining operational performance [2][6]. - The performance commitment for Yigao Optoelectronics has been adjusted to a cumulative net profit of 240 million yuan over three years, reflecting the urgency for Qin'an to enhance its financial performance [4][9]. - The company plans to apply for a bank loan of up to 800 million yuan to finance the acquisition, indicating a strategic move to improve capital efficiency [4][8]. Group 2: Financial Performance - In 2024, Qin'an reported a revenue of 1.6 billion yuan, a year-on-year decline of 8.04%, and a net profit of 173 million yuan, down 33.7%, marking the first time since 2018 that both revenue and profit have decreased [9]. - For the first three quarters of 2025, the company achieved a revenue of 991 million yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 16.89%, while the net profit increased slightly by 2.60% to 131 million yuan, indicating ongoing operational challenges [9]. - The decline in performance is attributed to intensified industry competition, rising commodity prices, and a concentrated customer base, particularly the underperformance of its key client, Changan Ford [9][10].
