(1) In 2022, the majority of sales partners chose to fulfill their guaranteed obligations by making instalment payments. When sales partners sign the creditor's rights transfer agreement, the loans to be transferred will be recognized as "held-for-sale loans (HFS)", and HFS would be measured at the lower of the cost and fair value. In 2022, the Company reassessed the fair value of HFS, such reassessment had led to overstatement in net gains/(losses) on sales of loans as well as understatement in provision for credit losses, which had no impact on net income in the three months ended March 31, 2022.

(2) To provide more relevant information, the line items of Interest income charged to sales partners and Net revenue under the commercial bank partnership model, which were included in Interest and financing service fees on loans in the three months ended March 31, 2022 have been shown in separate items.
