Knowledge Base Update (I): Latest Annual Report Disclosures and Inquiry Responses from Listed Companies in 2026

Table of Contents 01 Knowledge Base Update 02 How to Use 03 Annual Report Inquiries and Responses 04 Join Us [Annual Report Season] We are now entering late April, the period when listed companies disclose their annual reports most intensively. The hectic annual report season is finally approaching its conclusion—some outstanding project teams may already be relaxing! Yet this may not be the end… I did a quick tally of annual report revisions and exchange inquiries over the past two years: • Approximately 1%–2% of listed companies across all exchanges issued revised or corrected versions of their annual reports for various reasons; • Around 10% of listed companies received annual report inquiry letters from stock exchanges (figures vary slightly by year; historically, the proportion of companies receiving such inquiries has ranged between 10% and 15% of the entire market). Roughly speaking, for at least 500–800 A-share listed companies, the annual report work is *not yet truly complete* as of April 30… 01 Knowledge Base Update Therefore, our knowledge base has urgently compiled and organized the latest annual reports of listed companies across the four major exchanges in mainland China and Hong Kong (Shanghai Stock Exchange, Shenzhen Stock Exchange, Beijing Stock Exchange, and Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited) and seven market segments (main boards of the four markets + ChiNext, STAR Market, and GEM in Hong Kong), enabling users to instantly access and compare corporate performance changes, understand accounting policies, and regulatory disclosure requirements. In addition to the full text of the latest annual reports, the knowledge base also specially includes annual report inquiry response reports from A-share listed companies for the past ten years (2015–2025), allowing users to track recurring information disclosure violations and key regulatory focuses year by year. The complete set of materials updated this time has been uploaded to the sub-libraries “CPA Certification Knowledge Base”, “Investment & Investment Banking”, and “Listed Companies’ Annual Reports”. Due to capacity limitations of the shared knowledge base, Hong Kong-listed company annual reports have only been uploaded to the “Listed Companies’ Annual Reports” sub-library. Users who haven’t subscribed can access them directly via the pinned navigation note. 02 How to Use The iMA knowledge base supports folder-specific question-answering. For example, if you want to identify which companies listed on the Beijing Stock Exchange received qualified audit opinions—and what specific types—they received, you can first open the corresponding folder and then ask your question within that context to receive a targeted response. Note, however, that the output above is actually *inaccurate*. First, it fails to list all types of qualified audit opinions—for instance, unqualified opinions with an emphasis-of-matter paragraph (e.g., Kangle Weishi, stock code 833575) or unqualified opinions with a going-concern explanatory paragraph (e.g., Kaida Catalysis, stock code 830974); Second, Tonghui Information (stock code 430090), which received a qualified opinion, is also omitted. AI Hallucination This reflects a current limitation of AI: constrained by model context length and computational resources, large language models easily suffer from attention drift and data loss when processing massive volumes of information.
