Fraud after listing, the former dairy giant fell

Although the financial data turned losses into profits, the accounting firm issued an audit report of "disclaimer of opinion" on the annual report.

　　The reasons for the accounting firm to make the above audit judgment include:

　　There are still significant uncertainties in the reorganization of the controlling shareholder Kedi Group, and the accountants cannot obtain sufficient evidence to express opinions on the recoverability and end-of-period impairment of the capital occupied by Kedi Group;

　　From 2016 to 2018, the accumulated inflated profits of Kedi Dairy were about 300 million yuan to offset the funds occupied by the Kedi Group. The accountants could not obtain sufficient evidence to express their opinions on the impact of the matter on the beginning of the financial report period and whether adjustments were necessary;

　　Cody Dairy has been involved in multiple lawsuits due to overdue debts and external guarantees, some accounts have been frozen, and it has suffered damages.

In 2015, Kedi Dairy was successfully listed on the SME board.

　　However, after the listing, Cody Dairy did not usher in great development, but embarked on a road of no return for financial fraud.

The relevant punishment results of the China Securities Regulatory Commission show that Cody Dairy has inflated its performance since the second year after its listing in 2015. In the past three years, it has inflated 800 million yuan in revenue and 300 million yuan in profit.

The annual report was non-standard * ST Xinguang was forced to delist

　　In addition to *ST Cody, *ST Xinguang was also terminated on the evening of May 24th.

　　The Shenzhen Stock Exchange pointed out that *ST Xinguang has been issued a delisting risk warning since April 29, 2020 due to its audited net profit attributable to shareholders of listed companies for two consecutive years in 2018 and 2019. Because the audited net assets at the end of the period in 2020 were negative, the company's stock trading was subject to a delisting risk warning.

On April 30 this year, the 2021 annual report disclosed by the company showed that the company's 2021 annual financial and accounting report was issued an audit report with a qualified opinion, which involved the termination of listing on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange.

The financial data has met the protective shell conditions, but the financial data has not been recognized by the audit institution, giving Audit opinion with a "qualified opinion".

　　The annual audit accountant explained the "reserved opinion": it is impossible to obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence on whether the pledged equity and pledged real estate can fully cover the sincerity fund of Shin Kong Yuancheng that has not been provided for bad debts in the process of future disposal or realization. It was also uncertain whether any adjustments to these amounts were necessary.
