Preface

As an important part of China’s multi-level capital market, the NEEQ market is targeted at serving innovative, entrepreneurial and growing micro, small and medium enterprises, aiming to alleviate the difficult and expensive financing problems for such enterprises. Since the State Council approved that Zhongguancun should take the lead in launching the pilot project of the stock price transfer agents in January 2006, after exploring the capital market for more than ten years, the NEEQ market has made many beneficial attempts in listing approval, trading mechanism, financing mechanism, hierarchy system and standardizing supervision, which is of great significance to better serve micro, small and medium technological innovation-based enterprises and to further promote technological innovation. By the end of 2018, the number of Zhongguancun NEEQ listed enterprises had reached 1440, accounting for 13% of the total number of enterprises on the NEEQ nationwide, ranking the second in the number of enterprises on the NEEQ, being second only to Guangdong Province. The number of innovation layer enterprises in Zhongguancun is 242, accounting for about 10% of the total number of enterprises in the country, ranking the first over the number of innovation layer enterprises in Guangdong Province. By the end of 2018, the total market value of Zhongguancun NEEQ listed companies ranked the first, reaching 479.053 billion yuan, among which the market value of six enterprises, including Shenzhou Ucar (Shenzhou Youche), Beijing Muheda Information Technology Co., Ltd., Jiuding Group, Guodu Securities, Hanlinhui and Suirui Technology, exceeded 10 billion yuan. In terms of total revenue, by the end of 2018, the total revenue of Zhongguancun NEEQ listed companies was 239.316 billion yuan, slightly lower than that of Shanghai and Guangdong, thus ranking third. The average revenue of Zhongguancun enterprises reached 196 million yuan. In terms of net profit, at the end of 2018, the net profit of Zhongguancun NEEQ listed companies was 9.228 billion yuan, ranking second only to Jiangsu Province, with an average net profit of 7.54 million yuan. In terms of the status of stock issuance, enterprises in Zhongguancun issued stocks for 186 times in 2018 and raised 8.301 billion yuan, accounting for 14% of the national NEEQ listed companies.

Preface

the average R&D expenditure of enterprises reached 10.1926 million yuan for the first time since 2014, with an average R&D intensity of 5.55%, which was basically the same as that of 2017 and much higher than the average R&D intensity of national NEEQ listed companies and that of the other companies nationwide in 2018. On the whole, due to the impact of the macroeconomic situation, the overall operating performance of Zhongguancun and even the national NEEQ listed companies has been affected to some extent in 2018, but there are many high-growth enterprises with stable operating conditions, rising performance and increasing R&D investment. At the same time, the departments concerned from the State Council, Securities Supervision Commission to the National Stock Transfer System all attached great importance to propelling the reform of the NEEQ market, making efforts to introduce insurance of greater competitiveness and trading system of better efficiency in a bid to solve the investing–financing and buying–selling problems in NEEQ market. As the right time for deepening the NEEQ reform is approaching, it is suggested that the Zhongguancun NEEQ listed companies should be confident, keep a foothold on their own industries. The enterprises should also cultivate their core products and technologies with craftsmanship, planning their development trajectories. Meanwhile, they should also proactively seize the market opportunities, expand the scale of enterprises, so as to attract more investors, promoting healthy development of enterprises and forming a virtuous cycle. In addition, at present, financial institutions generally hold a conservative attitude to support private enterprises, especially to NEEQ listed companies that are still in micro, small and medium development stage, which is not conducive to the sustainable development of micro, small and medium private enterprises. Compared with ordinary small micro-enterprise, Zhongguancun NEEQ enterprises are relatively of higher quality, and more trustworthy, whose default cost is relatively higher. Therefore, it is recommended that banks and other financial institutions pay more attention to the Zhongguancun NEEQ and have breakthrough with the credit policy, providing high-quality NEEQ enterprise more innovative, flexible comprehensive financing options as well as better financial support in a bid to solve the loan problems of mortgage of fixed assets, individual house mortgage, etc., facing the enterprises. Finally, aiming at the existing problems of the NEEQ market, such as high bar for qualified investors, imperfect market maker trading system, low market liquidity, the inability to effectively meet the demand of micro, small and medium technological innovation-based enterprises’ financing needs it is suggested that government departments concerned reform the NEEQ market as follows: (1) clear positioning of the NEEQ, and highlight the characteristics of technological innovation. It is suggested that the departments concerned focus on serving the start-ups and growing technological innovation-based enterprises further optimize market stratification establish corresponding supporting systems such as stock issuance, trading and investor appropriateness, improve differentiated institutional arrangements and encourage a number of NEEQ enterprises with strong innovation ability and good market prospects to become bigger and stronger through the capital

market. At the same time, for enterprises that do not meet the requirements of listing maintenance, guide them to delist in accordance with the procedures under the premise of protecting investors’ rights and interests well and promote the orderly and healthy development of the capital market. (2) Broaden the sources of market funds and improve the system of qualified investors. Measure investors’ risk appetite and investment experience comprehensively, and make different standards of qualified investors at different levels, respectively. For instance, lower the individual qualified entry barrier properly for the high-quality NEEQ enterprises with strong innovation ability and creditworthy in order to expand the investor pool as well as the funding sources. (3) Improve market trading mechanisms, and continue to improve market liquidity. Further optimize the collective bidding system and increase the frequency of collective bidding trading. Develop normalized continuous bidding trading pilot in innovation level. At the same time, further improve the system of market makers, expand the body of market makers, optimize the open transaction system which is the combination of market maker system and call auction system. Through diversified trading patterns, further improve trading efficiency and the price formation mechanism, and enhance market liquidity and stability, so as to lay the good foundation for the continuous improvement of the NEEQ liquidity.

Development Characteristics of the Zhongguancun NEEQ Market in 2018 and Suggestions for Its Development

1.1 Development Characteristics of Zhongguancun NEEQ Market 1.1.1 The Delisting Stepped into Normalization, and the Number of Listed Companies Fell for the First Time (1) The Number of Zhongguancun NEEQ Listed Companies The number of Zhongguancun NEEQ listed companies experienced negative growth for the first time. By December 31, 2018, the number reached 1440. This report excludes companies that have been delisted1 and whose special status has not been released, and only 1224 Zhongguancun NEEQ listed companies that published the 2018 annual report before April 30, 2019 are taken as the research object.2 In 2018, the number of listed companies decreased by 222, decreasing by 15.35% compared with that in 2017 (which totalled 1446). There were 214 newly listed companies in 2017, compared with which the number of newly listed companies in Zhongguancun NEEQ has decreased significantly to only 42, a decrease of 80.37%, in 2018 (see Fig. 1.1). From the perspective of hierarchy,3 the number of innovation level companies in 2018 has declined, but the number still exceeded that of Guangdong, ranking the 1 The

first place in China.

In October 2016, the National Equities Exchange and Quotations (NEEQ) issued the “Detailed Rules for the implementation of the termination of listing shares of NEEQ listed companies (draft for comment)” to detail the regulations on the mandatory delisting and independent delisting of the NEEQ enterprises. Since then, the delisting of NEEQ has gradually become normalized. In 2018, a total of 1517 enterprises on the NEEQ market were delisted, over twice the number of 2017 (709). At the same time, the number of delisting Zhongguancun NEEQ enterprises had also increased rapidly. In 2018, a total of 225 Zhongguancun NEEQ listed companies were delisted, which was 2.62 times than that of 2017 (86) (see Fig. 1.2). In the past two years, the number of listed companies in NEEQ market has been decreasing year by year, and the number of delisted enterprises was on the rise. It’s worth mentioning that the year 2018 had witnessed a blowout in the number of the delisting NEEQ enterprises. Generally, the main reasons were as follows: First, the differentiated institutional supply of NEEQ market was still unclear. The threshold and standard costs of the innovative level were higher than those of the basic level. However, there was insufficient supply of the differentiated systems such as the issuance system and the investor threshold. The long-term development of NEEQ market lacked clear direction guidance, which made the NEEQ market less attractive to high-quality enterprises. Second, the regulations of NEEQ market had become increasingly strict. After the listing of NEEQ, the standard cost became relatively higher, whereas the market trading and financing activity was hardly satisfactory. For the sake of cost-benefit, some NEEQ listed companies chose to delist. Third, with the launch of A-share IPO normalization, STAR, and the strengthening of reforms by major exchanges around the world to attract a large number of new-economy enterprises to appear on the market, a large number of high-quality enterprises actively sought listing on domestic and overseas capital markets. Fourth, individual enterprises were forced to delist due to violations and failure to disclosure annual reports

or semi-annual reports within the prescribed time limit. In summary, the current trend of delisting normalization will indeed lead to a number of high-quality enterprises leaving NEEQ market, but it can also promote solving the problems of admixture of the genuine and the false in the current NEEQ market as well as the inactive trading, which manifested survival of the fittest on the market. The specific reasons for the delisting of Zhongguancun NEEQ listed companies in 2018 were mainly the adjustment of production and operations, the nondisclosure of periodic reports after suspension of listing the delisting of the transfer board, and the delisting of other unqualified situations for listings. Among them, 117 companies were delisted due to other unqualified situations, accounting for 52.00%; 82 for companies’ adjustment of production and operation, accounting for 36.44%; 20 for the undisclosure of periodic reports after suspension of listing, accounting for 8.89%. Besides, six companies were delisted due to the intention of transfer to A-share market, including Puppy appliance (870077.OC), Powervision Tech (837335.OC), ITC (836013.OC), Tricolor Technology (834801.OC), Longruan Technologies (834391.OC), HWTT (834116.OC) (see Fig. 1.3). Among them, Suizhong Technology was successfully listed on the main board of the Shanghai Stock Exchange on February 2, 2018 (see Fig. 1.3 and Table 1.2).

1.1.2 Performance of Enterprises with Continuity of Operation Grew Steadily Sustainable Profitability Needed to be Improved (1) Revenue In 2018, the total revenue of Zhongguancun NEEQ listed companies reached 239.316 billion yuan, which fell 1.17% y-o-y; the average revenue of the companies reached 196 million yuan, an increase of 17.37% y-o-y.

It can be seen that the average operating income of innovative-level companies is 3.3 times of the basic level companies, and increase of the latter was even faster. In 2018, in terms of growth, 708 Zhongguancun NEEQ listed companies reported positive y-o-y revenue growth, accounting for 58%. Among them, there were 65 innovative level companies, accounting for 53% of the total number of innovative level companies, and there were 643 basic level companies, accounting for 58% of the total number of basic level companies. And 500 companies had achieved positive growth in operating income for two consecutive years in 2017 and 2018, accounting for 41% of the total number of NEEQ listed companies in Zhongguancun.
