Core Viewpoint - Zhejiang Hengdao Technology Co., Ltd. (referred to as "Hengdao Technology") has submitted a prospectus for an IPO on the Beijing Stock Exchange, planning to publicly issue no more than 13.08 million shares. The company's performance growth is characterized by a "single business support" feature, with revenue from hot runner systems consistently accounting for over 96% of total revenue, while its gross profit margin has declined from 56.15% to 50.95% over the years.

Accounts Receivable - Hengdao Technology has faced challenges with accounts receivable, with net cash flow from operating activities of 5.53 million yuan, -2.91 million yuan, and 14.71 million yuan, indicating a low quality of earnings [6]. - The accounts receivable balance has been increasing, reaching 105.82 million yuan, 135.26 million yuan, and 178.65 million yuan at the end of 2022, 2023, and 2024 respectively, with over 50% of accounts receivable consistently overdue [6][7]. Credit Policy - The company has a more lenient credit policy compared to its peers, with over half of its accounts receivable overdue, raising concerns about the sustainability of this approach [7][8]. - The Beijing Stock Exchange has requested explanations regarding the rationale behind Hengdao Technology's more lenient credit policy and its potential impacts, as well as the company's response to any requests for further relaxation of credit terms from clients [8].
