On January 8, Founder Motor issued an announcement on receiving the "Prior Notice of Administrative Punishment" from the Zhejiang Securities Regulatory Bureau.

After investigation, the facts of Founder Motor's suspected violations are as follows: 1. The accounting estimate of the "three guarantees" is unreasonable. Since 2015, Shanghai Haineng Automotive Electronics, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Founder Motor, has sold products directly or through Guangxi Sanli Technology Development (hereinafter referred to as Guangxi Sanli) to Guangxi Yuchai Machinery Group and its affiliates (hereinafter referred to as Guangxi Yuchai), and provided product warranty to Guangxi Yuchai.

Since the end of 2018, there has been a significant increase in product quality claims initiated by Guangxi Yuchai, but the company has not made appropriate accounting estimates and accounting treatments. After calculation, from 2018 to 2022, the company should make up the amount of "three guarantees" of 255080,000 yuan, 423070,000 yuan, -1498190,000 yuan, -124040,000 yuan, -256410,000 yuan, accounting for the absolute value of the total disclosed profit in the current period67%、-2.31%、-148.94%、-0.77%, and affected the provision for goodwill impairment in the corresponding year.

2. Inappropriately expanding the asset group related to Shanghai Haineng goodwill. In 2015, Founder Motor acquired 100% equity of Shanghai Haineng, forming a goodwill of 8$2.9 billion. Founder Motor (Vietnam) Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Vietnam Founder Motor) was originally a wholly-owned subsidiary of Founder Motor; In July 2019, Founder Motor transferred 100% of the equity of Founder Vietnam to Shanghai Haineng. Since the end of 2019, the Company has improperly included Vietnam Founder in the goodwill-related asset group of Shanghai Haineng for goodwill impairment testing, resulting in an inaccurate amount of goodwill impairment provision recognized. After calculation, combined with the unreasonable impact of the accounting estimate of the "three guarantees", the amount of goodwill impairment provision that the company should supplement from 2018 to 2022 is 5292430,000 yuan, 173380,000 yuan, 3290690,000 yuan, 1471770,000 yuan, -8441210,000 yuan, accounting for the absolute value of the total disclosed profit in the current period72%、-25.26%。

The above two items combined, the company's total profit in 2018 inflated by 7843230,000 yuan, and the total profit in 2019 increased by 596450,000 yuan, and the total profit in 2020 will be inflated by 179250,000 yuan, and the total profit in 2021 will be inflated by 231370,000 yuan, and the total profit in 2022 will be reduced by 8697620,000 yuan, accounting for the absolute value of the total disclosed profit in the current period03%。On August 15, 2023, Founder Motor issued the "Announcement on the Correction of Accounting Errors and Retrospective Adjustment in the Previous Period" to retrospectively adjust the annual financial statements from 2018 to 2022.

Considering that there are false records in the annual reports of Founder Motor for five consecutive years, and the false records in individual years account for a relatively large proportion; The false records involved in the case were caused by accounting problems, and the company has taken the initiative to correct them; According to the facts, nature, circumstances and degree of social harm of the parties' illegal acts, and in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 2 of Article 197 of the ** Law in 2019, the Zhejiang Securities Regulatory Bureau intends to decide: 1. The other party is ordered to make corrections, give a warning, and impose a fine of 4 million yuan; 2. Mu Jian was given a warning and fined 1.3 million yuan; 3. Niu Mingkui was given a warning and fined 800,000 yuan; 4. Gu Yifeng was given a warning and fined 700,000 yuan.

In this regard, lawyer Zhang Yanwei told Radar Finance that the misconduct of listed companies has caused losses to shareholders, and shareholders can claim compensation in accordance with the law.
