Moreover, Zhen Shi Shares’ actual controller served as a senior executive of a state-owned enterprise for several years. This state-owned enterprise is Zhen Shi Shares’ largest supplier, having supported over 7 billion yuan in purchases by Zhen Shi Shares in the past three years plus one recent period. Behind this cooperation, Yang Guoming, the general manager of the supplier, previously held indirect shares in Zhen Shi Shares until he gradually transferred his shares between June and July 2025, indirectly exiting his stake in Zhen Shi Shares.
1. Cash collection ratio and net cash ratio are less than 1, associated sales revenue and the second shareholder's disclosed procurement amount may show 'inconsistent information disclosure'
Companies planning to go public should disclose related-party transactions truthfully, accurately, and completely. However, research has found that the sales data disclosed by Zhen Shi Co., Ltd. to related parties may be 'inconsistent' with the procurement data disclosed by the related parties.
1.1 Revenue and net profit reversed in 2023-2024, both cash collection ratio and net cash ratio were less than 1
According to the prospectus dated January 23, 2026 (hereinafter referred to as the 'prospectus signed on January 23, 2026'), Zhen Shi Co., Ltd.'s operating income for 2022-2024 and January-June 2025 was 5.267 billion yuan, 5.124 billion yuan, 4.439 billion yuan, and 3.275 billion yuan, respectively; net profits for the same period were 781 million yuan, 793 million yuan, 607 million yuan, and 404 million yuan, respectively.

In 2022-2024 and January-June 2025, the amounts for sales of goods or provision of services by Zhen Shi Co., Ltd. to non-commonly controlled related parties were 15.5205 million yuan, 6.7224 million yuan, 5.0138 million yuan, and 0.8944 million yuan, respectively.

namelyIn 2024, Zhen Shi Co., Ltd. did not generate any income from sales of goods or provision of services to Zhen Shi Group, its second largest shareholder.
However, this situation may differ from the information disclosed by Zhen Shi Group.
1.3 According to the disclosure by Zhen Shi Group, in 2024, Zhen Shi Group purchased over three million yuan worth of goods from a subsidiary of Zhen Shi Co., Ltd.
According to the prospectus signed on January 23, 2026,In April 2023,Zhen Shi Group used its 100% equity interest in Zhen Shi Hua Mei New Materials Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as 'Zhen Shi Hua Mei') as consideration for capital increase in Heng Shi Limited (the predecessor of Zhen Shi Co., Ltd.). As of now,Zhen Shi Hua Mei has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Heng Shi Limited.During 2022-2024 and January-June 2025,Zhen Shi Hua Mei is included within the consolidated financial statements of Zhen Shi Co., Ltd.
According to the fourth super short-term financing prospectus signed by Zhen Shi Group on November 6, 2025, for the year 2025 (hereinafter referred to as the 'November 6, 2025 Zhen Shi Group Financing Prospectus'), from 2023 to2024, the procurement amounts that Zhen Shi Group made from Zhen Shi Hua Mei were 4.1953 million yuan and 3.7999 million yuan respectively, with the purchased content being raw materials.
It can be seen that Zhen Shi Hua Mei is a subsidiary of Zhen Shi Co., Ltd., and during the periods from 2022 to 2024 and January to June 2025, it was included in the consolidated scope of Zhen Shi Co., Ltd. According to data disclosed by Zhen Shi Group, in 2024, Zhen Shi Group purchased more than three million yuan worth of raw materials from Zhen Shi Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries. However, in the prospectus signed on January 23, 2026, Zhen Shi Co., Ltd. disclosed that in 2024, no income related to sales of goods or provision of services was generated from its second largest shareholder, Zhen Shi Group.
Further research found that changes in the consolidation scope, accounting policy changes, and corrections of accounting errors may not have impacted the aforementioned differences.
1.4 Changes in the consolidation scope, accounting policy changes, and corrections of accounting errors may not have affected the data discrepancies.
According to the prospectus signed on November 19, 2025, during the reporting period from 2022 to 2024 and January to June 2025, the number of entities included in the consolidated financial statements of Zhen Shi Co., Ltd. increased by 21 and decreased by four. Among them, four entities were included in the consolidated financial statements through mergers, all occurring in 2023. The four entities removed from the consolidated scope ceased operations during the period from 2022 to 2025.
Meanwhile, during the periods from 2022 to 2024 and January to June 2025, Zhen Shi Co., Ltd. corrected an accounting error by re-evaluating the credit risk of accounts receivable from Zhong Ke Yu Neng Technology Development Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries at the end of 2024. In line with the principle of prudence, the method of providing for bad debts was adjusted from being calculated based on aging groups to individual impairment tests, with the provisioning ratio adjusted to 30%. When preparing the three-year and one-period financial statements, the retrospective restatement method was used to correct this error. During the same period, Zhen Shi Co., Ltd. did not experience any changes in accounting estimates, and accounting policy changes may not have involved the above-mentioned transaction data.
According to the offering circular of Zhen Shi Group dated November 6, 2025, and Zhen Shi Group's audited consolidated and parent company financial reports for the fiscal year 2024 released on August 29, 2025 (hereinafter referred to as 'Zhen Shi Group 2024 Annual Report'), there were no changes in consolidation scope caused by business combinations in Zhen Shi Group during 2024 and January to September 2025. Moreover, there were no significant changes in accounting policies, accounting estimates, or corrections of accounting errors.
In summary, Zhen Shi Group is the second largest shareholder of Zhen Shi Co., Ltd., controlled by Zhang Yuqiang and Zhang Jiankan, the actual controllers of Zhen Shi Co., Ltd., making it an affiliate of Zhen Shi Co., Ltd. Against this backdrop, Zhen Shi Co., Ltd. disclosed that in 2024, it did not generate any income from sales of goods or provision of services to Zhen Shi Group, its second largest shareholder. However, Zhen Shi Group disclosed that during the same period, it purchased raw materials from Zhen Shi Hua Mei, a subsidiary of Zhen Shi Co., Ltd., with an amount exceeding three million yuan. Changes in the consolidation scope, accounting policies, or corrections of accounting errors of Zhen Shi Co., Ltd. and Zhen Shi Group might not have impacted the discrepancies in the aforementioned data.
China Jushi, as a supplier, has supported procurement worth over 7 billion yuan, and its General Manager Yang Guoming may have 'unexpectedly' divested shares in Zhen Shi Co., Ltd.
From small details, one can infer the larger picture; seeing one leaf fall indicates the approach of autumn. Research shows that Zhen Shi Co., Ltd.'s largest supplier is a state-owned public company, from which Zhen Shi Co., Ltd. procured over 90% of its fiberglass over the past three years and the most recent period. Behind this cooperation, the actual controller of Zhen Shi Co., Ltd. once served as the General Manager of this state-owned public company. After his resignation, an indirect shareholder of Zhen Shi Co., Ltd. took over as the General Manager of the state-owned public company. By June to July 2025, this indirectly participating shareholder indirectly exited its stake in Zhen Shi Co., Ltd. through share conversion.
Over the past three years and the most recent period, more than 90% of fiberglass was procured from China Jushi, with cumulative procurement exceeding 7 billion yuan.
According to the prospectus signed on January 23, 2026, China Jushi Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as 'China Jushi') is the largest supplier of Zhen Shi Co., Ltd. From 2022 to 2024 and January to September 2025, the procurement amounts from China Jushi for fiberglass and other materials by Zhen Shi Co., Ltd. were 2.112 billion yuan, 1.895 billion yuan, 2.035 billion yuan, and 1.518 billion yuan respectively.The proportions of these purchases to operating costs were 52.98%, 50.24%, 62.43%, and 62.64% respectively.
During the same period,the proportion of fiberglass procurement amounts from China Jushi to the total fiberglass procurement amounts by Zhen Shi Co., Ltd. were 99.96%, 99.95%, 99.83%, and 96.15% respectively.Additionally, during the same period, general related-party transactions such as electricity procurement, related sales, and related leasing also existed between Zhen Shi Co., Ltd. and China Jushi.
It is evident that over the past three years and the most recent period, Zhen Shi Shares has cumulatively purchased glass fiber from China Jushi for more than 700,000 yuan.
Let us now turn our attention to the shareholder background of China Jushi.

In accordance with relevant regulations, Mr. Zhang Yuqiang's resignation report became effective upon delivery to the board of directors. After stepping down as general manager, Zhang Yuqiang will continue to serve as the vice chairman of China Jushi and hold relevant positions in the board’s special committees, continuing to play a role in strategic oversight and major decision-making within the China Jushi board.
