Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the reasons behind companies with high bank deposits still seeking IPO financing, exploring potential motivations and implications for investors and regulators [1]. Group 1: Mismatched Funding Cycles - High bank deposit balances alongside significant financing do not necessarily indicate financial fraud, as financial statements reflect a specific point in time and have static limitations [2]. - Companies often experience long payment cycles due to industry practices, which can lead to cash flow pressures despite high bank deposits [2][3]. Group 2: Regulatory Scrutiny of Large Dividends - Some companies with substantial bank deposits engage in "clearing-style dividends" before IPOs, creating significant funding gaps in their financial statements [4]. - New regulations set to be implemented in 2024 will scrutinize dividend practices, particularly those where dividends exceed 80% of net profits or where a significant portion of raised funds is used for working capital or loan repayment [4]. Group 3: In-Depth Verification of Bank Deposits - High bank deposit balances may not reflect available funds for operations, as they could be tied up in guarantees or regulatory requirements, or used to mask financial irregularities [5]. - Auditing methods for bank deposits need to be thorough and consider underlying risks, rather than relying solely on standard verification procedures [5]. Group 4: Financing Needs and Market Dynamics - Each company with high deposits has unique financing needs, and establishing a reasonable financing scale is crucial for aligning the interests of capital markets and IPO companies [5].
