However, we have not experienced any shortage or delays in the supply of raw materials during the Track Record Period, and the increasing price of raw materials sourced from overseas has little impact on our costs as (i) the amount of raw materials used in the research and development stage is small, and (ii) our overseas suppliers, most of which are domestic agents, have cooperated with us for many years, with stable supply of goods and reasonable prices, and (iii) there are more alternative raw materials with the same quality available in China, which reduces the proportion of raw materials sourced from overseas to a certain extent.

Summary · p. 19

The purchase amount from Supplier F increased substantially primarily because (i) the overall increase in the number of contracts, especially for precision omni-channel marketing solutions, in 2022 as well as the temporary measures implemented due to COVID-19 in Shanghai and the fact that many of our employees contracted COVID-19 and took leaves in the end of 2022 affected our ability to deliver academic medical contents solely with our own employees.

Business · p. 332

Nevertheless, we are of the view that, despite the increasing purchases, we did not materially rely on Supplier F for the content creation related work primarily because the work is non-core in nature and it will not be materially difficult for us to seek alternative suppliers in the market as we have already engaged other suppliers for the same type of work.
