Core Viewpoint - The IPO application of Hunan Chuyuan New Materials Co., Ltd. has been accepted by the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, but the company faces multiple hidden risks despite its impressive performance [1][3]. Financial Concerns - The company's net profit for 2024 is projected to reach 170 million yuan, but accounts receivable have surged to 587 million yuan, accounting for 55.56% of revenue, indicating over half of the revenue is not converted into actual cash flow [3][5]. - Accounts receivable increased from 383 million yuan in 2022 to 587 million yuan in 2024, with a declining turnover rate compared to industry averages [5][6]. - Operating cash flow has decreased by 41% from 2022 to 2024, with a net cash flow from operating activities of 121 million yuan in 2024, which is lower than the net profit by approximately 48 million yuan, highlighting cash flow pressure [7][8]. Production Capacity Expansion Paradox - The company plans to raise 1.22 billion yuan through the IPO, with approximately 789 million yuan allocated for aggressive capacity expansion despite a declining capacity utilization rate, which fell in 2024 [10][12]. - Current capacity utilization rates were 80.02%, 89.69%, and 84.62% from 2022 to 2024, with a projected addition of 150% in production capacity, raising concerns about the ability to absorb this new capacity [12][19]. Control and Governance Issues - The company's ownership structure reveals that the actual controller, Xiao Zhiyi, holds 52.14% of voting rights through various partnerships, raising questions about governance transparency [14][16]. - There is insufficient disclosure regarding the core technology team's background and compensation, which does not meet the governance transparency requirements for technology innovation companies [16]. Technical Disputes - The company is currently involved in a patent lawsuit initiated by Resonac, which could significantly impact its market reputation and technological independence [17]. - Research and development expenditures from 2022 to 2024 totaled 110 million yuan, representing only 3.75% of revenue, indicating a need for increased investment in innovation [18].
