(hereinafter referred to as "Kaifa Technology") received the third round of IPO review inquiry letter on August 19. After three rounds of inquiries from regulators, Kaifa Technology's rush to A-shares has many doubts. The prospectus shows that Kaifa Technology plans to raise 1.017 billion yuan in its initial public offering, of which 300 million yuan will be used to supplement working capital. However, the company has sufficient cash funds on its account behind the fundraising and cash dividends have been paid for years before the IPO application.
