Helpson has always taken the task of promoting the consistency evaluation as a top priority, and worked on them actively.

In general, our normal customer credit or payment terms are 90 days. This has not changed in recent years. Such relatively long credit term is due to the peculiar environment affecting the Chinese pharmaceutical market, as deferred payments by state-owned hospitals to local drug distributors are common, and their deferred payments will indirectly delay the payments from our customers to us. Due to the timeliness requirements of the NMPA for logistics of drug sales, Helpson, like most other pharmaceutical companies in China, sells substantially all the drugs to local drug distributors, certified by GSP (Good Supply Practice), the standard of products supply, which is a standard protocol to control the quality of the products during circulation. These GSP certified distributors then sell the drugs to state-owned hospitals. The GSP certified distributors’ payments to us are usually delayed as they will pay us after they receive payment from the state-owned hospitals. Therefore, as most of our customers are GSP certified distributors, we adopt a unified policy for bad debt allowance reserves for GMP’s customers who are typically GSP certified distributors. As is typical in the Chinese pharmaceutical market, there are no written contracts between the Company and any of its GSP certified distributors requesting the distributors to pay the Company’s account receivable upon their receipt of funds from the distributors’ customers, or state-owned hospitals. Nevertheless, the Company’s customers typically process the payment of the account receivable to the Company upon their receipt of payment from their customers, i.e., the state-owned hospitals, as a matter of implied consensus or industry standard. In the event the length of collection term is deviated from any of the past pattern of any particular customer, the Company will adjust its credit term.

Allocations to these reserves and funds can only be used for specific purposes and are not transferrable to the parent company in the form of loans, advances or cash dividends. As of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, Helpson’s net assets totaled ($6,197,000) and ($5,273,000), respectively. Due to the restriction on dividend distribution to overseas shareholders, the amount of Helpson’s net assets that was designated for general and statutory capital reserves, and thus could not be transferred to our parent company as cash dividends, was 50% of Helpson’s registered capital, which was both $8,145,000 as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The amount that Helpson must set aside for the statutory surplus fund accounts exceeds its total net assets at December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. There were no allocations to the statutory surplus reserve accounts during the twelve months ended December 31, 2024.
