ANNOUNCEMENT ON PROVISION FOR IMPAIRMENT AND

RECOGNITION OF LOSSES

This announcement is made by Northeast Electric Development Co., Ltd. (the "Company")

pursuant to Rule 13.09 (2) of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities (the "Listing Rules") on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "Stock Exchange"), and Inside Information

Provisions (as defined in the Listing Rules) (the "Inside Information Provisions") under Part

XIVA of the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Cap. 571 of the Laws of Hong Kong).

The Proposal on the Provision for Assets Impairment was considered and approved at the 20th meeting of the 9th Board of Directors and the 14th meeting of the 9th Supervisory Committee held by Northeast Electric Development Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as the "Company") on 29

March 2021 respectively. The proposal shall be not subject to consideration at the Company's general meeting.

I. Summary of provision for impairment and recognition of losses during the reporting period

Due to the continuous impact of the global public health emergency on aviation and hotel sectors since 2020, HNA Group Co., Ltd. (the indirect controlling shareholder of the Company, hereinafter referred to as the "HNA Group") and its related parties are exposed to a relatively high liquidity risk.

According to the Company's announcements dated 29 January 2021, 10 February 2021 and 15

March 2021 respectively, the Hainan Higher People's Court (the "Court") has ruled that the claim for reorganization of HNA Group and its related parties by the relevant creditor has been accepted.

In order to give a true, objective and fair view of the financial position and asset values of the

Company and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Group") as at 31 December 2020, according to the relevant requirements of the Accounting Standards and the Company's accounting policies and accounting estimates, the Company makes provision of loss allowance of RMB71,765,302.96 for deposits of HNA Finance Company and recognises net loss from interest in associates of

RMB48,900,000.00 on long-term equity investment, which accordingly reduces the net profit and net assets for the current period; in addition, the Company recognises losses of

RMB198,078,808.21 on fair value changes in financial assets designated at fair value through other comprehensive income, thus reducing the net assets for the current period.

II. Basis and reasons for provision for impairment and recognition of losses

After evaluating the asset risks of HNA Group and its related parties, the Company's management made judgments based on: (1) According to relevant requirements of PRC Accounting Standards for

Business Enterprises No. 8 - Impairment of Assets, the investor discontinues recognising its share of net losses incurred by investees after the carrying amount of the long-term equity investment and other long-term interests that in substance form part of the net investment in investees is reduced to zero, with the reduction recognised in profit or loss for the current period; (2) according to the relevant requirements of the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 22 - Recognition and Measurement of Financial Instruments, the Company performs impairment accounting and recognises provision for losses on financial instruments based on expected credit losses, and recognises changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income.

Further, the Company has made reference to the relevant requirements of the IFRS 36- Impairment of Asset and IFRS 9-Financial Instruments.

Given that HNA Group and its related parties have been included into the asset reorganization, the

Company makes full provisions for impairment and recognizes losses in full, though there is no clear reorganization plan yet.

Subject to the auditing procedure, we made provisions for credit impairment losses of

RMB71,765,302.96 and recognised losses on long-term equity investment of RMB 48,900,000.00, reducing the current net profit and net assets accordingly; and recognised financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income of RMB198,078,808.21, leading to the decrease in the current net assets accordingly.
