Analysis · STFS · Trade & Services
The auditor's going-concern qualification overshadows otherwise strong top-line improvement: revenue grew 74.0% to RMB210.2M (US$31.0M) and the net loss narrowed 78.0% to RMB28.7M (US$4.2M). At June 30, 2026, cash stood at just RMB471,226 (US$69,450) against an accumulated deficit of RMB168.6M and RMB26.7M of operating cash burn. Management points to the US$8.6M received from the September 2026 offering at $0.80 per share as alleviating the doubt — a raise that itself came at a steep discount to where the stock traded before the deal. The filing also discloses that disclosure controls were not effective and internal control over financial reporting was ineffective because of a material weakness, and that customer concentration jumped to 86.8% of revenue from 52.0%, with one customer at 46.9%.
