Annual Report 2017 CHINA CHUANGLIAN EDUCATION FINANCIAL GROUP LIMITED 3 Chairman’s Statement On behalf of the Board (the “Board”) of directors (the “Directors”) of China Chuanglian Education Financial Group Limited (the “Company”), I am pleased to present the annual report of the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively referred as the “Group”) for the year ended 31 December 2017.

INDUSTRY REVIEW The popularity of the internet in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) has continued to grow rapidly in the recent years, especially the form of application of mobile internet is the most booming. According to the data published by the National Bureau of Statistics of China, the population of local internet users in the PRC increased from approximately 457 million in 2010 to approximately 772 million in 2017, representing compound annual growth rates of approximately 7.8%. Out of the total population of local internet users in the PRC in 2017, approximately 753 million users were mobile internet users. This can demonstrate the significance and importance of mobile internet in the internet industry. The market value of the online education industry in the PRC is enormous. The market value of the online education industry is estimated to be approximately RMB170 billion in 2017 and it is estimated that the market value of the online education industry to be over RMB210 billion in 2019. We expect the market of education industry in the PRC will continue to grow, especially the online education as a result of the increasing popularity of the internet, in light of the change in the economy structure and the corresponding increase in the demand for talented personnel in the PRC. We believe that there is plenty of room for expansion and development of the Group’s online education and training businesses. BUSINESS REVIEW The Group is principally engaged in the provision of the online training and education services in the PRC. Being one of the very few pioneers of online education providers in the PRC, we mainly provide vocational training in relation to job adaption and skill enhancement to civil servants and professional technical personnel, such as lawyers, accountants, doctors, teachers, etc., in the PRC. The current population of civil servants and professional technical personnel in the PRC is over 77 million. There are certain requirements under the PRC laws and relevant provisions that, civil servants and professional technical personnel in the PRC are required to undertake an annual required minimum continuing professional training in both public required subjects and relevant professional subjects in order to satisfy their corresponding job requirements and professional development needs. 4 CHINA CHUANGLIAN EDUCATION FINANCIAL GROUP LIMITED Annual Report 2017 Chairman’s Statement The Group is currently providing online training and education services to its users through internet and telecommunication networks. The Group is operating over 120 online training and education platforms and a mobile terminal learning platform, Rongxue App* (融學App). Currently, we have over 4 million of paid users. Over the past few years, our online training platforms had provided training to an accumulated person-times of over 20 million. Since its launch of Rongxue App in 2016, its registered users has increased quickly to over 2 million in the current year. During the year, we continued to expand our online training and education business to more geographical areas in the PRC. Our online training and education business currently covers 17 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities as well as 40 cities in the PRC. Leveraging on the accurate big data accumulated from the online training, the Group has taken certain steps to expand into the financial business in the current year. Xinmei Mutual Life Insurance Agency* (“Xinmei Mutual”) (信美人壽相互保險社), the Group is one of the promotors of Xinmei, was officially granted with all the relevant licences to commence its business in May 2017 and Xinmei Mutual also launched its first formal insurance product during 2017. In order to brokerage the insurance products from Xinmei Mutual and other insurance companies, the Group has acquired 100% equity interest in Beijing Zhongjin Insurance Brokerage Limited* (“Beijing Zhongjin”) (北京中金保險經紀有限公司), an insurance brokerage company in the PRC, during the current year. In addition, the Group has acquired 100% equity interest of Well Tunes Financial Group Limited in November 2017, an insurance brokerage company in Hong Kong, so as to assist our existing and potential customers with their possible needs of offshore insurance products. FUTURE PLANS Over the past few years, our online training and education business has gradually increased its geographical coverage in the PRC. In the coming years, we will continue to expand our geographical coverage to new business areas and promote the online training and education penetration rate in the existing business areas. During 2017, the PRC government has introduced a new standard named “National Occupational Qualification” (國家職業資格) of professional technical personnel (專業技術人員) and skilled personnel (技能人員) which covers 139 different occupations. This would largely increase the population of professional technical personnel and skilled personnel who would need vocational training for annual renewal of their qualification.
