So at this moment I cannot disclose that specific a number of for the orders. We received during the last or 30 days, but what I can say now into the auto growth momentum is a very positive.
But you're going to you know Honda Motor India Women's home would tell like hung up on a simple multi women's away. So can you know how about the without no automotive you cut it off with them in women's is anjaneya sort of puts out a bigger telnes and utilities from now automotive view on sizing you can use and publish them decide.
He turns out to those gross margins, we believe that their vehicles gross margin can be over 5%.
But for the overall gross margin because the we have implemented a series of the efficiency improvement and the cost control measures. So so over estimation as it should be over 3%.
No, it's certainly going to Stevens with.
Thank you so history I.
I would like to answer your question about the impact of they can you send a deal HM.
We have noticed that a few Chinese companies have achieved the majority exchanges of the U.S. and the UK such as Alibaba.

Closely monitor that changes and trends over the markets and stop tense stuff that's of interest of new Inc. investors and shareholders has exceeded our comments to your question.
Oh, Thank you Wendy.
Okay very quick follow so kind, though oh I got you actually under a point Latchways stop overcapacity, <unk>, which with it.
I must admit what's the love FEMA, mostly supplier volume, what's the lumber nothing about capacity right now I think.
Oh I see the army emphasis is on when they see I'm sorry, the Hua.
Since the woman's a condo young who would that than boom listen well nothing density you'll be daughter trigger a human coolsmooth, unless you're going to Gemma bubble yet to be in who yet bother you who tell me how do you still down if we're conducting him well I'm not sure not film woman the corporate Uh Huh, that's kinda I'm not sure.
No go towards our Thunder, sometimes with him high too soon but it appears you sound good job I made him go through social typically Sig.
Oh, maybe this is Jim Haida, there's a music we amended to go for the whole button on a permanent sometime that you'll be shipping Jim Oh woman took a disappointing then they use your could look we're not changing the Talbot also died so I'm sure we'll spend since inception, whats or youre not so you got be doubts you said that you could have done publishes at any level.
You want me since that someone who's on life's work. So can you talk about time inquiries are for use as a trend from the time than either sold or you say vessel.
In fact, it a lot of for users. So actually many users have been waiting for the deliveries for example, users say, yes, 810 years six it won't be even longer for the users after they get to six I can say six.
In the Kobe plan under one shipped the monthly production capacity should be around 4000 units with 15, J.P.H. and this means that the workers well need to work around the 10 hours every day, but because there's some supply chain partners. The in August.
Our supply chain.
They have so some constraints on the production capacity, which means that the production capacity for the supply chain partners. It is around the 3000 to 400 to 3000 to 500.
Although we still have the some capacity over.
Upon to fight the although capacity in the supply chain is it limited.
Coded often go to young food side some of the adult Coakley all women, you think creating jobs and the.
10 tends to go a ton led to the consumer sentiment in the timing will meet in died Jojo I'm not going Indiana could look we'll then yes and nothing has happened doesn't yet blow to seek a significant number.
Hmm kind of on the sponsor Wilson I'll Miss you have to bother from say once your Evan will involvement centanni agreements on the Neo tourism domain Tvs to Tim will that I don't Tim.
We understand that many users have been waiting for the vehicle deliveries. That's why we would like a kid boosted the capacity in the overall supply chain system, which means the apartments will also need to increasing their production capacity.
Based requires a systematic efforts across the supply chain. According to her plans around August and September wish you'd be able to increase the monthly production capacity to around 4500 to 5000. So some good I sought on the keep sometime in Permian with Macquarie.
Somebody the both of you did a really a woman done no way for me on what kind of a women's shoes. So that's a huge he said so to sum up what history shows that intensely citizens Oh, well move away from all the balance.
The two sometime this year.
Oh speaking, we are quite conservative it intends on for the production capacity increase.
That will do I get to strike a balance between the order growth and over production capacity increase considering the strong momentum on the demand side.
Sure on it.
Yes.
Your next question comes from talking openly when I've seen <unk>. Please ask your question.
That's what I'm sorry.
Just want me speaking.

Two questions if the line.
So we have excuse but historically low.
R&D expenses in first quarter, Oh, that's many attribute it to the virus, which I believe.
If you're a cadence on the operating expense for the next few quarters.
Yes, that's always the first question and the second question is Bobby.
But.
Because that's the losses over the first quarter.
Yes.
2.4 freedom.
Well, we shouldn't just about like total of 2.5.
Before June 2020.
Nature issue, new convertible bonds for a issue the new private placements.
70, what I said to you.
Oh this is setting a regarding the first question in queue went to determine who have seen expected results from the cost control efforts, including the organization optimization and some restructuring initiatives.
And expenses in Q2, and a room for I think will increase.
For the or quarter, compared with Q, but due to more R&D and marketing activities being performed.
In Q2.
But consider our gross margin improvement that's still confident to reduce the operating loss.
And ER, we'd expect to the trend to continue into the Cindy.
Yeah, that's awful that's from where.
Okay. So why for your second question, Yes, Youre right, we have 2.4 beyond the on our balance sheet.
And we will inject a two point.
For beyond into new channels.
So first a wall, which do have some cash how does he <unk> our bashing I'm used to fund the previously these.
Each can inject into new channels as part of the investment from young.
And then well counts the more entered the market and the timing future financing plans to support our further cash reject injections.
Yeah, that's all.
So thank you.
Well of course, it all on the Opex, because we have roughly 500.
Fourth quarter and.
What's the estimation on the absolute dollar amount.
For the next few.
Orders like seven seven.
Reasonable one.
Even lower.
Oh pretty low abridging suppose wise as I mentioned I think there will there will be an increase in Q2 things the more R&D and marketing activities.
Yeah.
But but oh, but generally the opening lost I think we'll continue to to to be reduced.
So the exact number.
I don't think that they have supposed to give that guidance.
No doubt our house.
Expenses for the current quarter, but our goal is to refuse quickie not astute.
Margin gains as well as.
Efficiencies through controlling the appeal incentives.
Okay. Thanks, Thanks all.
Your next question comes the line of phasing of Goldman Sachs. Please ask your question.
Hi, congratulations on the strong results. My first question, it's about vehicle margin. How would you guys vehicle margin glass feel like what was 5% I wish you tracking towards double digit vehicle margins by the fourth quarter I suppose question.
Second question is how many of your cars was sold in your house versus no stays in the first quarter.
Thank you.
[noise] or the first quick question Bobby weaker margins are we still expect the gross margin or to expect double digits in by the end of Twentytwenty, a with further decrease the Broncos, including the battery pack age and also sales or more.
For a product was higher gross margin continued optimization of our manufacturing costs yeah.
Yes, they will know how about food. They go down we sold it sounds commodity you do that you go you saw on setting in the two going in and I would imagine that I kazuki regular season, one some data.
No I don't think a common when the deal going to yield both so take a pause that Neil how could it because I knew personally met someone shut my sort of on the has a problem and sometimes it can go in your house Hushing something that you might we see that you went on in your house Rojas inside to go and that bothers I'm sure. They do it wasn't there.
So to your when she Samuel space. So one of the woman. So you see a us in terms of the horses or sessions to pull down the cohorts will say something you either woman JBT that some due to the fun to play in the book kind of new spaces hurt us on these hits all your the treat our core that formula you gotten too when we tell them all.
Well soon he is all I can nobody knows the times, which usually you sounded so as it can go Neil most of my answer to that was a meal hub. So he could touch point says it shows on the bigger these tend to put money off of those of hotspot.
In terms of for the first a question for the gross marking we still like to keep all her guidance regarding that double digit to cross marketing five and offered this here at this moment to we're still quite confident to achieve this objective.
With respect to to your second question I like to say that at this moment most of the vehicle cells happens in the new houses and to the online channels. This is mainly because it then you'll houses are located in those big cities, but we believe.
Oh spaces that are going to play a very important of growth in the future extent, especially in terms of for their channel expansions in the tier two and the tier three cities and it's going to play a very peaker ROE in the third quarter, So that channel expansion in those lower tier to see.
He's a hospital counterweight, 70% offered the vehicle so.
Our through the new houses under the online touch points.
That's great.
Your next question comes from the line up.
Let me make <unk>. Thanks.
Last question.
So let me leave nation.
Oh Bank of America, you want me is now open.
Oh, Thank you Oh, Hi, William mentioned, Jim Thank you.
Hum.
In the Congress with good results.
Good question.
My first question debt.
When or where you started to either.
Six and also decided cars.
And also a thing where you start to Oh shit, the 102 kilowatt Oh actually.
With your car and or will there be any.
Meaningful spec change for example, like a JV range.
And also increase your wage or over all the way to will be maintained a similar level compared to your current it's OK was okay was oh models, but the reason I'm asking because oh, well do those alone should know that where you start to use some of the more.
Ben.
So to pega batteries to improve the battery density.
So that's a horse power can be maintained or improved even use oh, a bigger size.

My first question is regarding.
Your cooperation with you. So we'll take element so besides the investment from the phase I believe I hope It will also give you more support.

Our plan is to start with the delivery of for the he says six in September and the delivery. After 100 kilowatt hour battery pack in the fourth quarter.
No woman to strike a balance with both as a single a mission guided ziggo doses that you don't so things out into the guidance, we or does it to me way youre somewhat called it out as hard here is the ability to take a needle communicate them. Both in the middle can use of getting all of that so the two now she's a meal cut out a tribute so.
Are you, putting some some traditional because it wasn't that insight as to who will need to see who didn't get chip.
For the battery pack.
The killing the battery pack the well upgrade within the same fine.
The way too well not change to the power density well improve in this case, it's not going to impact the performance of the vehicle and the this is a one off the parameters and a criteria in offered technology development.
So you said, it's usually it's a woman the time you good seafood and the meter you've actually ship to tell me I'm talking tens of all woman or say, we haven't given how can we on a tone down to something Salomon tone seems as though didn't though palaces Odeon Palestinian woman, who probably back to the today show and listen to me all the good yeah.
They think that a very important endorsement to two over technical competence because of within the same battery pack sites. We can upgrade that that battery from the 70 kilowatt hour to 84 and this year were going to ship the 100 kilowatt hour battery pack.
No deals when he was the they realize some water coffee done either being Copa no woman, we could put incidents and who play some wonderful among all the sheer doom and is it too for the themselves than say hoods, Oh says how hot it sounded good.
On the woman or something where you are women go go though ship yards to sort of.
In terms of over Corporation, and the development the inco safe regarding never China, We will work together ways, a coffee government and other related it departments to work out to that specific apologies, we believe it or we should be able to get to some.
Referring show and supportive policies.

Indeed, Neil days Tigo, you should have them publican bodies into now does come near the Covenant Shaggy dog and I've done the wonder woman tone dig deep its union and you'll take husband monumental probably by Synacor known people, which on top of the good I'm sorry.

Your next question comes from the line of Jaggi Shen of JP Morgan. Please ask your question.
Hum Willy and Steve Yeah, Hi, sneak like Fountain Chemokines. Thank you for taking my question I note.
A few minutes on the bus so two fracing simple a high level question first one on the cash flow can you walk us through on it on a cash absolutely yes in terms of inflow and outflow on you mentioned earlier in the first quarter, we issue golfie above $435 million CP, that's Rafi Buffy.
You didn't can be but.
Listen time for the investment you know when you try and yes.
The first two installment due.
In June we need to invest CAD 2.5 billion and on top of dot, presumably at each quarter to cash in somewhere about 1.5 to 2 billion on M.D. So if you can provide some number oh oh, okay does on a quarterly cash inflow and also adopted.
Appreciate it and it should we assume we sold investment.
The next one year, we probably don't need to come to market and respond to again, so that the for cash flow related caution and she can simple questions with the O'neil.

So not to be so cool we had about five something you want is opening up the older can you give us an appeal that number five by first quarter and also to chew on the guidance on his of 9500 to cancel the use of TV oximetry well, it's a speed between yes, yes, yes six stimulus.
Similar to first quarter, then lastly on you see six new model, how should we see growth on a volume would be similar or close to you see thanks.
Okay. So thank you. So question if his jade I'm going to answer. The first question that you have yes as of the at the end of the first quarter Big data have about 2.4 billion RMB at cash our balance sheet as that's too that the piece that we have three oh, yes in the first quarter.
Her ER, which has supported.
Our upgrading and and cash needs and also Oh, that's the rest of the money that they have right now definitely can be injected just from your inc. two new China for that for the installment I did they lessening the they need to make a in China. So I just for the fuel.
Her pass of the cash injection, that's going to monitor the market it very carefully and see what that that's the time and property, let met or to raise the copy, though in the future and to a they definitely a well get the is sufficient attached to support our our future or a big developing.
And and expansion. So that's it's a of the cash side and on your second question regarding the orders I think so we didn't office.

It does show you ship that some don't want to double edge on the yet but.
Slipped to Joel Houck has itself will assume the yet by your whole tied into the.
Popcorn is showing good fortune no. They do gooder today, it's over that were too, but if you. Some not somebody is something I show no. Google source is going to beat US all the lights on a woman with hung she doesn't go PD in bed bug that that you'd be central yields any good bebe nouveau sometime in the Eagle Eagle.
He goes through some shipments would hardly go talk to do kind of no mention communications in the done five or something.
[noise] intends to offer the product makes up the USA tying it fixed.
As you know the.
Starting price after I guess eight it's a 110000 more than that offer that yes, six so it's quite natural that yes, six a has a higher volume compared with it the yes eight.
But after we start to the delivery offer that yes, eight two wells on the some time to ramp up at the production. This I was under delivery so to the users.
According to over current data it it's a percentage offer they yes aging is six it should be 123.
Okay and fix it is because I've heard that specific market segment.
Yeah. Thanks to the one that women you will have it would be so my sense would call they've got good good doing Uh huh.

So does it at the moment a community himself conducts a good thing chassis is limiting dot flooding, who who can data clearance yet to go hand to conduct a heavy altogether quench either Oh, well me a token good times I'm going to some good timing the Sunday through some could you.
In the this imposes on the convention comps.
I'm looking guy who you can see seizure somewhat shanahan they feel puts out a bigger or you don't deliver that didn't dunnigan cool that you'll move within die or Mohammed social Patty.
For the you say six because we haven't really that specific a pricing yet.
I don't mean, sometimes we understand what it should be the pricing strategy for they say six and what is over a targeted user group before they say six.
So we won't need to understand that those are specific information to have a clear picture for the market demand.
Time also need to make it dynamic decision based on the production capacity competition landscape and offer a productive strategy to determine the pricing at this moment, we have a received the summing tension ordered spot because we haven't released the pricing.
So we cannot be safe or non refundable orders at this moment.
Yes, that's right. Thank you.
