FOTIC China Foreign Economy and Trade Trust Co., Ltd.
Trust Plan Specification
The structure funds trust plan in which FOTIC issues trust funds to individuals in form of loan is lawful. Moreover, FOTIC has performed its obligation of fully guarding against the risks in this project.
VI. Risks of This Trust Plan
(I) Main Risks of This Trust Plan
1. Project Operational Risk
This project has the risks of failure of loan service institution’s management system, failure of staffs to operate strictly according to the loan approval process and standard, and operation mistakes of the trustee in the project management process.
2. Counterparty Operating Risk/Trust Claims Quality Risk
In this trust project, subordinated trustor’s related party Shenzhen Fanhua United Investment Group Co., Ltd. as a loan service institution cooperates with the trustee to handle loan marketing, loan acceptance, approval, post-loan management, overdue collection and other concrete pre-loan, in-loan and post-loan matters. As Shenzhen Fanhua United Investment Group Co., Ltd. has many branches, the economic and financial environments in the areas where they are located are quite different, and their operating experience and management level are uncertain, there is certain operational risk.
3. Moral Risk
The single loan amount in this trust project is large. The counterparty might fraudulently obtain trust loans for a financing purpose, imposing a risk of loss of the trust property.
4. Guarantor Performance Risk
The guarantor performance risk refers to that after the expiration of trust loans, the borrowers fail to fully or partially repay the principal and interest of the trust loans, and the guarantor does not perform or fully perform its guarantee obligation due to subjective breach of contract or deteriorated financial situation.
5. Collateral-Related Risks
The single loan amount in this trust project is large, so mortgage guarantee is an important guarantee measure. If the moral risk or other factors lead to unreasonable collateral valuation results, defects of mortgage registration, or loss, damage or other circumstances that impair collateral value, the security of the trust plan will be affected.
6. Senior Beneficiary Damage Risk
When the non-performing loan ratio of trust claims rises and the guarantor loses the guarantee ability, the principal and earnings of the senior trust may have a risk of loss.

7. Senior Trust Redemption and Extension Risk
As the trust funds are used for revolving loans, and the precipitation fund in the trust account is small, if the cash in the trust account is insufficient when the senior trust expires, there may be a risk of failure to pay the principal and earnings of the senior beneficiary on schedule and a risk of trust postponement.
8. Risk of Loss of the Trust Property Incurred to Prevent the Loss of the Trust Principal and Earnings of the Structure Funds Trust
As the trustor/subordinated beneficiary has the obligation of using the secondary trust property to guard against the loss of the trust principal and earnings of the senior trust, there may be a risk of loss of the trust property of the trustor/subordinated beneficiary.
9. Policy and Legal Risks
The adjustment and changes of national monetary policies fiscal and tax policies, industrial policies, macro policies and relevant laws and regulations will affect the establishment and management of this Trust, thus affecting the income of the trust property, and the earning level of beneficiaries as well.
10. Other Risks
In addition to the above risks, this Trust does exclude the risk of misappropriation of the trust fund, industry risk, risk of unexhausted due diligence, trust extension risk, risk of early termination of trust, risk of intenable or invalid trust, risk of redemption delay from trustee’s recourse to the guarantor caused by the failure of the borrower to repay principal and interest on schedule, and risk of impact of other force majeure such as political, economic and natural disasters on the trust property.
(II) Risk Analysis and Countermeasures of This Trust Plan
1. Countermeasures against the project operational risk
(1) | The trustee and the loan service institution will jointly work out a comprehensive operation manual for the project, clearly prescribing the responsibilities of the two parties, and perform trustee’s duties according to the provisions of the Trust Contract and relevant documents. |
(2) | In the operation process of this Trust Plan, the trustee will comprehensively consider the payment amount and term of the principal and earnings of the senior beneficiary, and appropriately control the scale and term of recovered trust funds that are used in loans again to ensure that there is sufficient recovered money to repay the principal and earnings of the senior beneficiary when the trust period expires, and avoid liquidity risk. If the trust account does not have enough funds when the trust plan expires, the subordinated beneficiary needs to supplement subordinated fund or Shenzhen Fanhua United Investment Group Co., Ltd. needs to acquire the senior trust to assure senior redemption. |

2. Countermeasures against the counterparty operating risk/trust claims quality risk
(1) | Loan service institution Shenzhen Fanhua United Investment Group Co., Ltd. as a subordinated beneficiary of this trust plan has a high control level and strong capacity for due diligence when selecting borrowers and providing relevant services. |
(2) | The trustee will require the loan service institution to regularly provide a credit risk control information report, including loans (loan issuance and details of amount payable) and non-performing loan ratio. After the loan service institution completes system connection, the trustee will log in the loan system on a regularly basis to acquire and check relevant data and information, and judge the operating quality of the loan service institution to find problems earlier and control the risks. |
(3) | Shenzhen Fanhua United Investment Group Co., Ltd. assumes joint and several liability for trust loans and is able to control the risk of loss of the trust property to some extent. |
(4) | The trustee will make adjustment on a regular or irregular basis according to the progress of this Trust Plan in the branches of Shenzhen Fanhua United Investment Group Co., Ltd., and suspend relevant business cooperation with the branches that show poor operating quality. |
3. Countermeasures against the moral risk
The trustee will carry out inspection by such methods as knowing customer information and restricting customer identity, specify in other relevant legal documents the liability for breach of contract when the project cooperators provide false information and data, and strictly control the moral risk of this Trust Plan.
4. Countermeasures against the guarantor performance risk
Seeing that the guarantor is a related party of the subordinated beneficiary, and has certain financial strength, its credit risk of failure to perform the guarantee responsibility is relatively small. If the guarantor does not perform the guarantee responsibility on time, the subordinated beneficiary is obliged to supplement the trust fund.
5. Countermeasures against the collateral-related risks
The collaterals are appraised by an appraisal method accepted by both the trustee and Shenzhen Fanhua United Investment Group Co., Ltd. The trustee will ensure through site investigation, such as review of relevant documents and sampling inspection of some collaterals, that the actual condition of the collaterals is consistent with the description in the appraisal report. In addition, the trustee will specify in relevant legal documents that the loan service institution shall assume relevant liability when mortgage registration is failed, and specify the specific way to assume guarantee liability when non-performing loans are formed.
6. Countermeasures against the senior beneficiary damage risk
(1) | Each loan of this trust is provided with a mortgage guarantee. When the borrower fails to repay the loan principal and interest and related expenses on time, the trustee or the guarantor who first assumes the guarantee responsibility may obtain the repayment by disposing of the mortgaged property. |

(3) | When the non-performing loan ratio of overall assets exceeds 6%, if it is not controlled below 6% within the time prescribed in the contract, the trustee shall have the right to unilaterally retain funds by stages till enough for senior redemption. When non-performing loan ratio of overall assets exceeds 10%, the trustee shall have the right to unilaterally stop issuing loans till enough for senior redemption. |
7. Countermeasures against the senior trust redemption and extension risk
The period of a senior trust contract is designed to be 12 months. If the cash trust assets in the trust account by then are not enough to pay the principal and earnings of this senior trust benefit right, the subordinated trustor is obliged to supplement subordinated fund to assure senior redemption, Shenzhen Fanhua United Investment Group Co., Ltd. is obliged to acquire senior trust to guarantee senior redemption, and the trustee shall have the right to retain the funds and extend the trust period by 6 months for disposal of the trust property.
8. Countermeasures against the risk of loss of the trust property incurred to prevent the loss of the trust principal and earnings of the structure funds trust
Shenzhen Fanhua United Investment Group Co., Ltd. as a related party of the subordinated beneficiary is also a loan service institution. It will give full play to its professional management capabilities in loan management and services, and try to control overdue or non-performing loans to the minimum.
9. Countermeasures against the policy and legal risks
The trustee shall pay close attention to the changes in relevant national laws and policies, and the operation and management condition of the counterparties, promptly identify problems, take effective countermeasures and fully disclose policy and legal risks to the trustors and beneficiaries.

The risks incurred in the management process of the trust property shall be borne by the trust property.
