Kangmei Pharmaceutical’s crisis began in 2018, when the company was exposed to financial fraud. In 2019, the China Securities Regulatory Commission found that Kangmei Pharmaceutical had inflated revenue by nearly 30 billion yuan and inflated profits by nearly 4 billion yuan from 2016 to 2018. In 2020, the company was issued a delisting risk warning, and its stock abbreviation was changed to "*ST Kangmei".
In 2021, Kangmei Pharmaceutical entered bankruptcy and reorganization procedures. In November of the same year, the Guangzhou Intermediate People's Court ruled to approve the reorganization plan, and a consortium of investors including GPHL was formed to participate in the reorganization. In January 2022, Kangmei Pharmaceutical completed its reorganization, and the company's controlling shareholder was changed to Shennong Partnership.
However, the reorganized Kangmei Pharmaceutical is not out of trouble. Since 2023, the company still faces many challenges:
1. Operating performance continues to deteriorate and losses continue to expand
2. Debt restructuring is progressing slowly, with frequent pressure from creditors
3. Subsidiary assets are frozen and operations are restricted

Kangmei Pharmaceutical's future remains uncertain.

Industry insiders generally believe that if Kangmei Pharmaceuticals wants to truly get out of trouble, it needs to:
1. Accelerate the debt restructuring process and restore the confidence of financial institutions
2. Focus on core business and reduce non-core business investments
3. Improve corporate governance and rebuild market trust
4. Leverage the resources of state-owned shareholders to achieve business transformation
The case of Kangmei Pharmaceutical has brought profound enlightenment to China’s capital market.
