Imagine the high-tech IPO: financial data is chaotic and abnormal, and internal control is deficient, and employees' wages are so low that they create a performance myth

Changxiang Hi-Tech is a high-tech enterprise focusing on the field of rail transit operation, integrating design, R&D, production, sales and service. On May 17, Changxiang Hi-Tech announced that it received a letter of completion of the acceptance work issued by the Henan Securities Regulatory Bureau on May 15, and had passed the IPO counseling and acceptance of the Henan Securities Regulatory Bureau under the guidance of Zhongyuan **. On May 25, the IPO of Changxiang Hi-Tech Beijing Stock Exchange has been accepted, and as of December this year, the IPO process has entered the third round of inquiries.

In 2020, the per capita profit of Imagine Hi-Tech is only half of that of its peers, but in 2022, it will become twice as high as the average of its peers, and the per capita profit is still more than twice that of its peers when its per capita income is lower than that of its peersIn addition, the ridiculously low wages of employees also create a performance myth. The monthly salary of R&D employees before tax is 4,360 yuan, and the monthly salary after deducting the five insurances and one housing fund borne by individuals is only 3,291$8. During the reporting period, the average salary of R&D personnel of comparable companies in the same industry was much higher than that of Changxiang Hi-Tech. In addition, the salary of the production staff is even lower, and after deducting the five insurances and one housing fund borne by the individual, the salary of the production personnel is only 0220,000 yuan, 0250,000 yuan and 0270,000 yuan. In terms of per capita profit, it will also be only half of its peers in 2020, and it will become twice as high as the average of its peers in 2022.

Considering that Hi-Tech completed the manufacture and delivery of the products without signing a contract and without receiving an advance payment, which is very inconsistent with the order of business logic, and also shows that there are major loopholes in the issuer's internal control, combined with the fact that its fourth-quarter revenue is extremely high compared with its peers, and the proportion of revenue that is just higher is highly consistent with the proportion of the issuer's fourth-quarter revenue that was arranged for delivery before the contract was signed, it can be reasonably speculated that the issuer's fourth-quarter revenue is likely to be overestimated or cross-period.

The auditor is a third-party intermediary agency, which only provides reasonable assurance rather than absolute assurance for the audit report, and the auditor has a limited time on site, so the auditor will set the importance according to the risk situation of the audited unit, and the misstatement below the importance is usually not concerned, which can be popularly understood as grasping the misstatement matters and letting go of the small ones, but even if it is already in the case of grasping the large and letting go of the small ones, it still issued 6 pages of adjustment matters to the issuer, which is enough to confirm that the quality of the issuer's financial data is very worrying。 (*Valuation House).
