3. Details of the postponement of this fundraising project

(1) Extension situation

The company's investment project with raised funds this time is the "Tumor Marker Diagnostic Reagent Development Project". Based on the actual implementation progress of the company's current investment project with raised funds, and under the condition that the implementation entity, implementation method, investment amount, etc. of the raised investment project do not change, the time for the project to reach the scheduled usable state will be extended.

(2) Reasons for postponement

The company held the 2020 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders on May 14, 2021 to review and approve matters related to changes in the implementation method of the fundraising project "Tumor Marker Diagnostic Reagent Development Project", and entrusted Beijing Zhongyuan Weikang Gene Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Beijing Zhongyuan Weikang") to be responsible." Research and development of "human EGFR/KRAS/BRAF/NRAS/ERBB2/PIK3CA gene mutation detection kit (time-of-flight mass spectrometry)" (hereinafter referred to as the "tissue kit") and "human circulating tumor DNA multi-gene mutation combined detection kit" (hereinafter referred to as the "blood kit"). During this period, due to the impact of public health events, the overall progress of the project's clinical trials was greatly affected.

Beijing Zhongyuan Weikang submitted the tissue kit registration documents to the National Medical Products Administration on March 1, 2024. Later, clinical replenishment trials were carried out in accordance with the replenishment notice of the State Food and Drug Administration. So far, the clinical replenishment trials of the tissue kit have been completed. Beijing Zhongyuan Weikang has submitted the final registration document to the State Food and Drug Administration on October 24, 2025, and is currently awaiting final review.

The blood kit has completed all clinical trials according to the original work plan. Later, the State Food and Drug Administration newly promulgated the "Guiding Principles for Clinical Trial Registration Review of Non-Original Companion Diagnostic Reagents for Anti-tumor Drugs", which put forward higher requirements for the design and evaluation of clinical trials, including clinical trial institutions, enrollment groups, comparison methods, etc., especially An evaluation method for comparative studies with original companion diagnostic reagents was proposed; Beijing Zhongyuan Weikang conducted repeated communication and adjustments to the clinical trial protocol of the blood kit with relevant departments of the State Food and Drug Administration and four hospital clinical centers according to the new requirements. The revised protocol added new test requirements and re-applied for national ethics approval, which also affected the progress of clinical trials. The new test requirements for the revised blood kit clinical trial protocol have passed national ethics approval. The new trial requirements in the revised protocol include the addition of original controlled comparative trials. Since the clinical trial of the blood kit is a prospective sample collection and contains rare mutations in some detection site data, the clinical enrollment progress is slower than expected. Beijing Zhongyuan Weikang is actively promoting clinical trials in accordance with the new trial requirements in the revised protocol and will submit registration documents to the National Medical Products Administration as soon as possible after the clinical trials are completed.

Therefore, according to the current implementation progress of the project, the time for the project to reach the scheduled usable state has been extended to December 2026.

(3) Measures to ensure on-schedule completion after extension

i Strengthen close communication with clinical centers to promptly solve problems that arise during the enrollment of clinical trial samples; improve enrollment efficiency by publishing clinical research recruitment plans online or offline.

ii. Hire third-party review experts to conduct a pre-assessment of the quality management system, and rectify the issues raised by the experts in advance to ensure smooth passing of the formal system examination and accelerate the progress of kit approval.
