During the reporting period, the company strengthened cost management and optimized product structure, resulting in an increase in comprehensive gross margin and gross profit year-on-year; d. During the reporting period, some of the company's R&D projects entered the late stage of development, and R&D investment decreased compared with the same period of last year, resulting in a year-on-year decrease in expenses during the reporting period; e. During the reporting period, the company enjoyed the policy of VAT increment and deductible as an advanced manufacturing enterprise, resulting in an increase in other income year-on-year.
