<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Growth in the first half of 2022 came from the sale of the company&rsquo;s
new high yield, disease tolerant corn variety that can adapt to stressful environments. During the 2021 growing season one of China&rsquo;s
main growing areas experienced extreme weather fluctuations of drought followed by massive flooding. Despite this, the variety performed
extremely well in this environment while other corn varieties planted nearby were decimated. The success of our seeds created consumer
attention for the Origin Agritech brand and generated demand for the new hybrid seed. As a result of the demand,we are expanding our seed
production to meet anticipated 2023 demand.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Despite the company&rsquo;s financial growth in the first half of 2022,
the company believes its biggest growth driver in the near-term will be the sale of its nutritionally enhance corn (NEC). Although sales
of NEC was low in the first half of 2022, the company anticipates sales will be more evident in the second half of the year, after the
harvest. We have formed joint venture companies with our feedstock partners and are busy ramping up production of NEC using contract growing.
The partners are responsible for the capital expenditures for the contract growing and Origin supplies the seed and technical support.
The annual feed corn market is China is estimated at over 1.9 million metric tons and worth more than RMB500 billion ($75 billion). Origin
seeks to capture a significant portion of this market in the coming years as the NEC alleviates the need for expensive nutritional additives
and thus doubles the profit margin for feedstock companies. Importantly, there is no other corn variety with similar properties, currently
leaving Origin without competition for this product.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Origin continues to extend its leadership in next generation breeding
technologies. The company has been an early adopter of CRISPR for corn gene editing and has created more than a dozen desirable traits
including the recently announced change of leaf angle that allows for denser planting of the corn plants and thus higher yield. CRISPR
is the biggest evolution ever in plant breeding, but there has been a big challenge of getting past the cell wall in corn and other plants.
Origin has made some innovations with new processes that overcome this obstacle, and the company believes that it is the leader in using
CRISPR for corn breeding, not only in China, but also in the world. The company has already integrated these traits into the company&rsquo;s
hybrid corn and is filing for regulatory approval.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Origin is encouraged by the Chinese government&rsquo;s continued progress
on establishing the legal framework regulating the commercialization of GMO crops and views this as a sign that they will soon move to
legalizing the wider planting of GMO crops. The company has integrated its GMO traits into its hybrid corn varieties and is ready to launch
commercial sales once the switch is flipped.</P>
