The Shanghai Stock Exchange recently issued an inquiry letter regarding Guangxin Agrochemical's 2025 annual report, focusing on the company's simultaneous high levels of cash-like assets and short-term borrowings. The inquiry letter pointed out that as of the end of 2025, the company's cash-like assets, including monetary funds, trading financial assets, time deposits, and debt investments, totaled approximately 10.537 billion yuan, accounting for 74.59% of total assets, while short-term borrowings during the same period reached as high as 2.404 billion yuan. The exchange required the company to explain the necessity and commercial rationale for maintaining such high borrowings despite ample funds. The company replied that of the 2.404 billion yuan in short-term borrowings, 2.294 billion yuan came from bill discounting, letter of credit discounting, and forfaiting, and 110 million yuan from accounts receivable factoring, rather than traditional bank loans. The company widely uses bills and letters of credit for settlement in internal transactions between parent and subsidiary companies. Considering that investment yields from bank wealth management products are generally higher than bill discounting costs, the company chose to discount some unmatured bills to purchase higher-yield wealth management products in order to earn a stable interest spread. The company emphasized that this practice has business necessity and commercial rationality, and that the underlying assets are all invested in fixed-income products such as urban investment bonds, corporate bonds, and bank deposits, with no funds flowing to related parties.
