Analysis · KC · Technology
While the interim report confirms the robust H1 revenue growth announced on August 19, it introduces a critical new disclosure: management formally assessed going concern risk. Cash reserves fell 22.3% over six months to RMB4.67 billion, even as capital expenditures surged to RMB6.24 billion and the gearing ratio climbed to 71.0%. Management ultimately concluded the going concern basis is supported, citing existing credit facilities, but the disclosure itself signals liquidity pressure that was absent from the earnings release.
