ShiFang Holding Limited ( (HK:1831) ) just unveiled an announcement.

ShiFang Holding Limited has clarified that it never made any cash investment in the target companies Baiming and Zhuoshi and that all shares previously issued for the related acquisition have been fully returned to the company with the consent of the target’s shareholding representative, effectively unwinding the deal. The company further explained that the RMB75.0 million share of losses recognised in its 2022 consolidated income statement arose because all shareholder and financial records of Baiming and Zhuoshi were seized by Beijing’s Chaoyang District Economic Crime Investigation Unit, leaving the company unable to obtain supporting materials, and that the data were included in its annual report based on an audit by PricewaterhouseCoopers, which was signed off by the then audit committee chairman despite the board’s lack of unanimous approval, underscoring the company’s assertion that it remained operationally independent from the targets and lacked access to their detailed financial information.
