2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

(a) Basis of presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). All transactions and balances among the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial information as of June 30, 2024 and for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 have been prepared, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures, which are normally included in annual condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, have been omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 previously filed with the SEC on March 22, 2024.

 

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present a fair statement of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2024 and its unaudited condensed consolidated results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, and its unaudited condensed consolidated cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, as applicable, have been made. The interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the fiscal year or any future periods.

(b) Use of estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, management reviews these estimates using the currently available information. Changes in facts and circumstances may cause the Company to revise its estimates. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the financial statements include: (i) useful lives and residual value of long-lived assets; (ii) the impairment of long-lived assets and investments; (iii) the valuation allowance of deferred tax assets; (iv) estimates of allowance for doubtful accounts, including loans receivable from third parties and related parties; (v) valuation of Inventory; and (vi) contingencies and litigation.

 

(c) Foreign currency translation

 

The Company’s financial information is presented in U.S. dollars (“USD”). The functional currency of the Company is the Chinese Yuan Renminbi (“RMB”), the currency of PRC. Any transactions which are denominated in currencies other than RMB are translated into RMB at the exchange rate quoted by the People’s Bank of China prevailing at the dates of the transactions, and exchange gains and losses are included in the statements of operations as foreign currency transaction gain or loss. The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters. The financial information is first prepared in RMB and then translated into U.S. dollars at period-end exchange rates for assets and liabilities and average exchange rates for revenue and expenses. Capital accounts are translated at their historical exchange rates when the capital transactions occurred. The effects of foreign currency translation adjustments are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity. Cash flows from the Company’s operations are calculated based upon the local currencies using the average translation rate. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statements of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheets.

 

(d) Convertible promissory notes

 

Convertible promissory notes are recognized initially at fair value, net of upfront fees, debt discounts or premiums, debt issuance costs and other incidental fees. Upfront fees, debt discounts or premiums, debt issuance costs and other incidental fees are recorded as a reduction of the proceeds received and the related accretion is recorded as interest expense in the consolidated income statements over the estimated term of the facilities using the effective interest method.

 

(e) Beneficial conversion feature

 

The Company evaluates the conversion feature to determine whether it was beneficial as described in ASC 470-20. The intrinsic value of a beneficial conversion feature inherent to a convertible note payable, which is not bifurcated and accounted for separately from the convertible notes payable and may not be settled in cash upon conversion, is treated as a discount to the convertible notes payable. This discount is amortized over the period from the date of issuance to the date the notes are due using the effective interest method. If the notes payable are retired prior to the end of their contractual term, the unamortized discount is expensed in the period of retirement to interest expense. In general, the beneficial conversion feature is measured by comparing the effective conversion price, after considering the relative fair value of detachable instruments included in the financing transaction, if any, to the fair value of the shares of common stock at the commitment date to be received upon conversion.

(f) Recent accounting pronouncement

 

In November 2023, the FASB issued guidance to enhance disclosure of expenses of a public entity’s reportable segments. The new guidance requires a public entity to disclose: (1) on an annual and interim basis, significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (CODM) and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, (2) on an annual and interim basis, an amount for other segment items (the difference between segment revenue less the significant expenses disclosed under the significant expense principle and each reported measure of segment profit or loss), including a description of its composition, (3) on an annual and interim basis, information about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets previously required to be disclosed only on an annual basis, and (4) the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and how to allocate resources. The new guidance also clarifies that if the CODM uses more than one measure of a segment’s profit or loss, one or more of those measures may be reported and requires that a public entity that has a single reportable segment provide all the disclosures required by the amendments in this update and all existing segment disclosures. The guidance is effective for the current fiscal year 2024 annual reporting, and in the first quarter of 2025 for interim period reporting, with early adoption permitted. Upon adoption, this guidance should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented. We do not expect the adoption of this accounting standard to have an impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued guidance to enhance transparency of income tax disclosures. On an annual basis, the new guidance requires a public entity to disclose: (1) specific categories in the rate reconciliation, (2) additional information for reconciling items that are equal to or greater than 5% of the amount computed by multiplying income (or loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense (or benefit) by the applicable statutory income tax rate, (3) income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by federal (national), state, and foreign taxes, with foreign taxes disaggregated by individual jurisdictions in which income taxes paid is equal to or greater than 5% of total income taxes paid, (4) income (or loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense (or benefit) disaggregated between domestic and foreign, and (5) income tax expense (or benefit) from continuing operations disaggregated between federal (national), state and foreign. The guidance is effective for fiscal year 2025 annual reporting, with early adoption permitted, to be applied on a prospective basis, with retrospective application permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this accounting standard to have an impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements but will require certain additional disclosures.

 

In July 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The amendments in ASU 2023-07 improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The amendments in ASU 2023-07 improve financial reporting by requiring disclosure of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis for all public entities to enable investors to develop more decision-useful financial analyses. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-08: Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Crypto Assets (Subtopic 350-60). For annual and interim reporting periods, the amendments in this Update require that an entity, including an entity that is subject to industry-specific guidance, disclose the following information: (1) The name, cost basis, fair value, and number of units for each significant crypto asset holding and the aggregate fair values and cost bases of the crypto asset holdings that are not individually significant, (2) For crypto assets that are subject to contractual sale restrictions, the fair value of those crypto assets, the nature and remaining duration of the restriction(s), and the circumstances that could cause the restriction(s) to lapse.

 

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption. The Company does not discuss recent pronouncements that are not anticipated to have an impact on or are unrelated to its consolidated financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.

Baiyu
   Contractual
arrangement
with
Tongdow Internet
Technology
   Total 
             
Balance as of December 31, 2022  $65,022,402   $95,191,148   $160,213,550

Based on an assessment of the qualitative factors, management determined that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the reporting unit is in excess of its carrying amount. Therefore, management concluded that it was not necessary to proceed with the two-step goodwill impairment test. No impairment loss or other changes were recorded, except for the influence of foreign currency translation for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2023.

10. LEASES

 

The Company leases an office space under non-cancelable operating leases, with a term of 24 months. The Company considers renewal or termination options that are reasonably certain to be exercised when determining the lease term and the initial measurement of right of use assets and lease liabilities. The amortization of right of use assets for lease payment is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet.

 

The Company determines whether a contract is, or contains, a lease at inception of the contract and whether that lease meets the classification criteria of a finance or operating lease. When available, the Company uses the rate implicit in the lease to discount lease payments to present value; however, most of the Company’s leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate. Therefore, the Company discounts lease payments based on an estimate of its incremental borrowing rate.

 

The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

 

Supplemental consolidated balance sheet information related to the operating lease was as follows:

 

   June 30,
2024
   December 31,
2023
 
         
Right-of-use assets, net  $37,663   $83,375 
           
Lease Liabilities-current  $39,616   $86,691 
Total  $39,616   $86,691 

 

The weighted average remaining lease terms and discount rates for the operating lease were as follows as of June 30, 2024:

 

Remaining lease term and discount rate:    
Weighted average remaining lease term (years)     
Weighted average discount rate   4.75%

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company charged total amortization of right-of-use assets of $143,121 and $61,140 respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company charged total amortization of right-of-use assets of $98,364 and $30,294 respectively.

By written consent dated March 6, 2023, as permitted by Section 228 of the Delaware General Corporation Law and Section 8 of Article II of our bylaws, the stockholders who have the authority to vote a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock approved the following corporate actions: (i) the entry into a purchase agreement, with terms substantially the same as the agreement attached in the aforesaid purchase agreement, by and between the Company and Streeterville, pursuant to which the Company issued an unsecured convertible promissory to Streeterville; and (ii) the issuance of shares of Common Stock in excess of 19.99% of the currently issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company upon the conversion of the note. The Company settled convertible promissory notes of $300,000 on September 7, 2023, $200,000 on October 10, 2023, $175,000 on October 13, 2023, $150,000 on November 16, 2023, $150,000 on December 5, 2023, and $150,000 on December 29, 2023, respectively, and issued 41,829, 41,736, 36,920, 109,075, 109,075, and 137,644, shares of the Company’s common stock on September 12, 2023, October 11, 2023, October 13, 2023, November 20, 2023, December 7, 2023, and December 29, 2023, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2023.

The above two unsettled convertible promissory notes, issued on May 6, 2022 and March 13, 2023, have a maturity date of 12 months with an interest rate of 10% per annum. The Company retains the right to prepay the note at any time prior to conversion with an amount in cash equal to 125% of the principal that the Company elects to prepay at any time six months after the issue date, subject to maximum monthly redemption amount of $375,000 and $375,000, respectively. On or before the close of business on the third trading day of redemption, the Company should deliver conversion shares via “DWAC” (DTC’s Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system). The Company will be required to pay the redemption amount in cash, or chooses to satisfy a redemption in registered stock or unregistered stock, such stock shall be issued at 80% of the average of the lowest “VWAP” (the volume-weighted average price of the Common Stock on the principal market for a particular Trading Day or set of Trading Days) during the fifteen trading days immediately preceding the redemption notice is delivered.

 

For the above two unsettled convertible promissory notes, upon evaluation, the Company determined that the Agreements contained embedded beneficial conversion features which met the definition of Debt with Conversion and Other Options covered under the Accounting Standards Codification topic 470 (“ASC 470”). According to ASC 470, an embedded beneficial conversion feature present in a convertible instrument shall be recognized separately at issuance by allocating a portion of the proceeds equal to the intrinsic value of that feature to additional paid-in capital. Pursuant to the agreements, the Company shall recognize embedded beneficial conversion features three months after commitment date of $913,000 and $913,000 respectively. Beneficial conversion features have been recognized into discount on convertible promissory notes and additional paid-in capital and such discount will be amortized in 12 months until the notes will be settled. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recognized the amortization of beneficial conversion feature $218,750 and $820,448 to profit with respect to these two unsettled convertible promissory notes. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company has recognized the amortization of beneficial conversion feature of $nil and $92,552 to profit for the above two unsettled convertible promissory notes.

14. INCOME PER SHARE

 

Basic income per share is computed by dividing the net profit or loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. As of June 30, 2024, the principal amount and interest expense of convertible promissory notes are $2,443,358 and $1,615,911.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted loss per common share for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 respectively:

 

   For the Six Months Ended
June 30,
 
   2024   2023 
Net income (loss)  $4,579,587   $(4,386,953)

Net income (loss) per share – basic  $0.41   $(1.54)
Net income (loss) per share – diluted  $0.29   $(1.42)

 

15. INCOME TAXES

 

The Enterprise Income Tax Law of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC tax law”), which was effective on January 1, 2008, stipulates those domestic enterprises and foreign-invested enterprises are subject to a uniform tax rate of 25%. Under the PRC tax law, companies are required to make quarterly estimate payments based on 25% tax rate; companies that received preferential tax rates are also required to use a 25% tax rate for their installment tax payments. The overpayment, however, will not be refunded and can only be used to offset future tax liabilities.

  

The Company evaluates the level of authority for each uncertain tax position (including the potential application of interest and penalties) based on the technical merits and measures the unrecognized benefits associated with the tax positions. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits. Due to uncertainties surrounding future utilization, the Company estimates there will not be sufficient future income to realize the deferred tax assets for certain subsidiaries and a VIE. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had deferred tax assets of $11,533,831 and $11,294,960, respectively. The Company maintains a full valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

 

The Company does not anticipate any significant increase to its liability for unrecognized tax benefit within the next 12 months. The Company will classify interest and penalties related to income tax matters, if any, in income tax expense.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company had current income tax expenses of $2,327,420 and $2,221,713, respectively, and deferred income tax expense of $374,931 and benefit of $384,454 in the connection of intangible assets generated from acquisitions.

 

The Company accounts for uncertainty in income taxes using a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon settlement. Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions are recognized and recorded as necessary in the provision for income taxes. The Company is subject to income taxes in the PRC. According to the PRC Tax Administration and Collection Law, the statute of limitations is three years if the underpayment of taxes is due to computational errors made by the taxpayer or the withholding agent. The statute of limitations is extended to five years under special circumstances, where the underpayment of taxes is more than RMB 100,000. In the case of transfer pricing issues, the statute of limitation is ten years. There is no statute of limitation in the case of tax evasion. There were no uncertain tax positions as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, and the Company does not believe that its unrecognized tax benefits will change over the next twelve months.

2) Contingencies

 

None.

 

18. Risks and uncertainties

 

(1) Credit risk

 

Assets that potentially subject the Company to a significant concentration of credit risk primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents and trade receivables with its customers. The maximum exposure of such assets to credit risk is their carrying amount as of the balance sheet dates. As of June 30, 2024, approximately $21,511 was primarily deposited in financial institutions located in Mainland China, which were uninsured by the government authority. To limit exposure to credit risk relating to deposits, the Company primarily place cash deposits with large financial institutions in China, which management believes are of high credit quality. The Company considers the credit standing of customers when making sales to manage the credit risk. Considering the nature of the business at current, the Company believes that the credit risk is not material to its operations.

 

The Company’s operations are carried out in Mainland China. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environments in the PRC as well as by the general state of the PRC’s economy. In addition, the Company’s business may be influenced by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, rates and methods of taxation, and the extraction of mining resources, among other factors.

 

(2) Liquidity risk

 

The Company is also exposed to liquidity risk which is the risk that it is unable to provide sufficient capital resources and liquidity to meet its commitments and business needs. Liquidity risk is controlled by the application of financial position analysis and monitoring procedures. When necessary, the Company will turn to other financial institutions and the owners to obtain short-term funding to meet the liquidity shortage.

  

(3) Foreign currency risk

 

Substantially all of the Company’s operating activities and the Company’s major assets and liabilities are denominated in RMB, which is not freely convertible into foreign currencies. All foreign exchange transactions take place either through the Peoples’ Bank of China (“PBOC”) or other authorized financial institutions at exchange rates quoted by PBOC. Approval of foreign currency payments by the PBOC or other regulatory institutions requires submitting a payment application form together with suppliers’ invoices and signed contracts.

 

The value of RMB is subject to changes in central government policies and to international economic and political developments affecting supply and demand in the China Foreign Exchange Trading System market. Where there is a significant change in value of RMB, the gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements of a foreign subsidiary will be significantly affected.

Translation of amounts from RMB into US$ has been made at the following exchange rates for the respective periods:

 

   June 30,   December 31, 
   2024   2023 
Balance sheet items, except for equity accounts   7.1268    7.0827 

 

   For the six months ended
June 30,
 
   2024   2023 
Items in the statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), and statements of cash flows   7.1051    6.8476 

 

(4) Economic and political risks

 

The Company’s operations are conducted in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environment in the PRC, and by the general state of the PRC economy.

 

(5) Risks related to industry

 

The Company sells precious products to customers through our industrial relationship. Sales contracts are entered into with each customer. The Company is the principal under the precious metal direct sales model as the Company controls the products with the ability to direct the use of, and obtain all the remaining benefits from the precious metal products substantially before they are sold to its customers. The Company has a single performance obligation to sell metal products to the buyers. The Company estimates the amount of variable consideration, including sales return using the expected value method and includes variable consideration in the transaction price to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal will not occur. Revenue for precious metal trading under the direct sales model is recognized at a point in time when the single performance obligation is satisfied when the products are delivered to the customer. We are under the risk of the economic environment in general and specific to the precious metal industry and China as well as changes to the existing governmental regulations.

 

Commodity trading in China is subject to seasonal fluctuations, which may cause our revenues to fluctuate from quarter to quarter. We generally experience less user traffic and purchase orders during national holidays in China, particularly during the Chinese New Year holiday season in the first quarter of each year. Consequently, the first quarter of each calendar year generally contributes the smallest portion of our annual revenues. Furthermore, as we are substantially dependent on sales of precious metals, our quarterly revenues and results of operations are likely to be affected by price fluctuation under macroeconomic circumstances these years.

 

As our revenues have grown rapidly in recent years, these factors are difficult to discern based on our historical results, which, therefore, should not be relied on to predict our future performance. Our financial condition and results of operations for future periods may continue to fluctuate. As a result, the trading price of our stock may fluctuate from time to time due to seasonality.

 

19. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

The Company has reviewed its operations for potential disclosure or financial statement impacts related to events occurring after June 30, 2024, but prior to the release of the unaudited consolidated financial statements contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q were issued.

 

There were no additional subsequent event disclosures or financial statement impacts related to events occurring after June 30, 2024 that warranted adjustment to or disclosure in these unaudited consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Overview

 

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had two business lines, which are the commodities trading business and supply chain management services.  

 

Commodities trading business

 

The commodities trading business primarily involves purchasing non-ferrous metal products, such as aluminum ingots, copper, silver, and gold, from metal and mineral suppliers and then selling to customers. In connection with the Company’s commodity sales, in order to help customers to obtain sufficient funds to purchase various metal products and also help upstream metal and mineral suppliers to sell their metal products, the Company launched its supply chain management service in December 2019. The Company primarily generates revenues from selling bulk non-ferrous commodity products and providing related supply chain management services in the PRC.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded revenue of $54,552,223 from its commodities trading business and $2,811 from its supply chain management services, respectively.

 

The Company sources bulk commodity products from non-ferrous metal and mines or its designated distributors and then sells to manufacturers who need these metals in large quantities. The Company works with suppliers in the sourcing of commodities. Major suppliers include various metal and mineral suppliers such as Kunsteel Group, Baosteel Group, Aluminum Corporate of China Limited, Yunnan Benyuan, Yunnan Tin, and Shanghai Copper. The Company’s target customers include large infrastructure companies such as China National Electricity, Datang Power, China Aluminum Foshan International Trade, Tooke Investment (China), CSSC International Trade Co., Ltd., Shenye Group, and Keliyuan.

 

Supply Chain Management Services

 

We offer a distribution service to bulk suppliers of precious metals by acting as a sales intermediary, procuring small to medium-sized buyers through our own professional sales team and channels and distributing the bulk precious metals of the suppliers. Upon executing a purchase order from our sourced buyers, we charge the suppliers a commission fee ranging from 1% to 2% of the distribution order, depending on the size of the order. We also offer some other supply chain management services business. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company generated revenue from supply chain management services of $2,811 from three third-party customers, compared with a commodity distribution services revenue of $35,407 with four third-party customers for the same period in 2023.

 

Competition

 

The Company mainly competes against other large domestic commodity metal product trading service providers such as Xiamen International Trade and Yijian Shares. Currently, the principal competitive factors in the non-ferrous metal commodities trading business are price, product availability, quantity, service, and financing terms for purchases and sales of commodities.

 

Applicable Government Regulations

 

Shenzhen Baiyu Jucheng has obtained all material approvals, permits, licenses and certificates required for our metal product trading operations, including registrations from the local business and administrative department authorizing the purchase of raw materials.

 

Key Factors Affecting Our Results of Operation

 

The commodities trading industry has been experiencing decreasing demand as a result of China’s overall economic slowdown. We expect competition in the commodities trading business to persist and intensify.

 

We commenced our commodities trading business in late November 2019. Over the past five years, we have expanded our operations and diversified our product offerings. Our future success depends on our ability to sustain growth and maintain profitability. Our limited operating history makes it difficult to evaluate our business and future prospects. Our future prospects may face risks and challenges typically encountered by a company with a limited operating history in an emerging and rapidly evolving industry, including, among other things,

 

  Profitability: Maintaining and enhancing our profitability through efficient operations and cost management;

 

  Competitive Position: Strengthening our competitive position in the commodities trading industry in China by leveraging our established networks and market knowledge.

 

22

 

 

  Strategic Implementation: Effectively implementing our growth strategies and adapting to market competition and customer preferences, including potential expansion into new geographical markets.; and

 

  Human Resources: Successfully recruiting, training, and retaining qualified managerial and other personnel to support our growth and operational needs.

 

Our business requires a significant amount of capital, particularly for the purchase of bulk commodities and expansion into new markets where we currently do not have operations. We continue to seek opportunities to optimize our operations, improve financial performance, and manage risks associated with our business.

Revenue

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, we generated revenue from the following two sources, including (1) revenue from sales of commodity products, and (2) revenue from supply chain management services. Total revenue decreased by $8,049,409 or 23%, from $34,512,296 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 to $26,462,887 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, among which revenue from commodity trading and supply chain management accounted for 99.99% and 0.01% of our total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2024. For the three months ended June 30, 2023, revenue from commodity trading and supply chain management accounted for 99.90% and 0.10% of our total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease was mainly affected by the market environment: the industry was in a situation of both weak supply and weak demand, and the internal competition was also fierce.

 

(1) Revenue from sales of commodity products

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company sold non-ferrous metals to fourteen third-party customers at fixed prices compared with thirteen third-party customers for the same period in 2023, and earned revenues when the product ownership was transferred to its customers. The Company earned revenues of $26,462,542 from sales of commodity products for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared with $34,483,239 for the three months ended June 30, 2023, with a decrease of $8,020,697 or 23%. The decrease of revenue from sales of commodity products is mainly due to the decrease in the average unit sales price of zinc ingots from $3.23 per kilogram for the three months ended June 30, 2023 to $2.59 per kilogram for the three months ended June 30, 2024. And based on a downward trend in FY2024, the annual consumption of zinc plating in China is declining year by year.

 

(2) Revenue from supply chain management services

 

In connection with the Company’s commodity sales, in order to help customers to obtain sufficient funds to purchase various metal products and also help upstream metal and mineral suppliers sell their metal products, the Company launched its supply chain management service business in December 2019, which primarily consisted of loan recommendation services and distribution services.

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded revenue of $345 from supply chain management services to third-party customers, compared with $29,057 to third-party customers for the same period in 2023. The decrease in revenue from sales of commodity products is mainly due to the downsizing of the zinc plating market, coupled with a reduction in customers amid fierce competition.

  

Cost of revenue

 

Our cost of revenue primarily includes the cost of revenue associated with commodity product sales and the cost of revenue associated with management services of the supply chain. Total cost of revenue decreased by $8,068,943 or 23% from $34,560,364 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 to $26,491,421 for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decreased cost of revenue is in line with the decrease in revenue.

 

Cost of revenue associated with commodity trading

 

The cost of revenue primarily consists of purchase costs of non-ferrous metal products. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company purchased non-ferrous metal products of $26,491,421 from 11 third-party vendors compared with $34,537,021 from 11 third-party vendors for the three months ended June 30, 2023, mainly because the industry was in a situation of weak supply.

 

24

 

 

Selling, general, and administrative expenses

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased from $8,330,851 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 to $2,363,888 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, representing a decrease of $5,966,963, or 72%. Selling, general and administrative expenses primarily consisted of salary and employee benefits, office rental expenses, amortizations of intangible assets and convertible notes, professional service fees and finance offering related fees. The decrease was mainly attributable to stock-based compensation expenses of $5,698,000 resulting from the issuance a total of 11,000,000 shares of common stock to service providers for the three months ended June 30, 2023 in comparison to zero in such expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

  

Interest income

 

Interest income was primarily generated from loans made to third parties and related parties. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, interest income was $6,489,635 representing an increase of $1,581,347, or 32% from $4,908,288 for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was due to the growth of loans made to third party vendors for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The balance of loan receivables was $290.61 million as of June 30, 2024 which was $50.18 million higher than that as of June 30, 2023.

 

Amortization of beneficial conversion feature and relative fair value of warrants relating to convertible promissory notes

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, the item represented the amortization of beneficial conversion feature of nil relating to the convertible promissory notes.

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, the item represented the amortization of beneficial conversion feature of $264,390 relating to the convertible promissory notes.

 

Net income (loss)

 

As a result of the foregoing, net income for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $2,580,785, representing an increase of $7,419,015 from net loss of $4,838,230 for the three months ended June 30, 2023.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK 

 

Not applicable.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES 

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Based on an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act were not effective as of June 30, 2024.

 

29

 

 

Certain personnel primarily responsible for preparing our financial statements require additional requisite levels of knowledge, experience and training in the application of U.S. GAAP commensurate with our financial reporting requirements. The management thought that in light of the inexperience of our accounting staff with respect to the requirements of U.S. GAAP-based reporting and SEC rules and regulations, we did not maintain effective controls and did not implement adequate and proper supervisory review to ensure that significant internal control deficiencies can be detected or prevented.

 

Management’s assessment of the control deficiency over accounting and finance personnel as of June 30, 2024 includes:

 

  our lack of sufficient financial reporting and accounting personnel with appropriate knowledge of the U.S. GAAP and the SEC reporting requirements to properly address complex U.S. GAAP accounting issues and to prepare and review consolidated financial statements and related disclosures to fulfill U.S. GAAP and SEC financial reporting requirements.

 

  our lack of comprehensive accounting policies and procedures manual in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Neither we nor our independent registered public accounting firm undertook a comprehensive assessment of our internal control for purposes of identifying and reporting material weaknesses and other deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting. Had we performed a formal assessment of our internal control over financial reporting or had our independent registered public accounting firm performed an audit of our internal control over financial reporting, additional deficiencies may have been identified.

 

Following the identification of the material weaknesses and control deficiencies, we have taken the following remedial measures: engaging an external consulting firm to assist us with assessment of Sarbanes-Oxley compliance requirements and improvement of overall internal control.

 

We plan to take additional remedial measures, including (i) hiring more qualified accounting personnel with relevant U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting experience and qualifications to strengthen the financial reporting function and to set up a financial and system control framework; and (ii) implementing regular and continuous U.S. GAAP accounting and financial reporting training programs for our accounting and financial reporting personnel.

 

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls. Readers are cautioned that our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will necessarily prevent all fraud and material error. An internal control system, no matter how well-conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. The design of any system of controls is also based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any control design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

(a) Basis of presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). All transactions and balances among the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial information as of June 30, 2024 and for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 have been prepared, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures, which are normally included in annual condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, have been omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 previously filed with the SEC on March 22, 2024.

 

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present a fair statement of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2024 and its unaudited condensed consolidated results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, and its unaudited condensed consolidated cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, as applicable, have been made. The interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the fiscal year or any future periods.

 

(b) Use of estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, management reviews these estimates using the currently available information. Changes in facts and circumstances may cause the Company to revise its estimates. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the financial statements include: (i) useful lives and residual value of long-lived assets; (ii) the impairment of long-lived assets and investments; (iii) the valuation allowance of deferred tax assets; (iv) estimates of allowance for doubtful accounts, including loans receivable from third parties and related parties; (v) valuation of Inventory; and (vi) contingencies and litigation.

 

(c) Foreign currency translation

 

The Company’s financial information is presented in U.S. dollars (“USD”). The functional currency of the Company is the Chinese Yuan Renminbi (“RMB”), the currency of PRC. Any transactions which are denominated in currencies other than RMB are translated into RMB at the exchange rate quoted by the People’s Bank of China prevailing at the dates of the transactions, and exchange gains and losses are included in the statements of operations as foreign currency transaction gain or loss. The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters. The financial information is first prepared in RMB and then translated into U.S. dollars at period-end exchange rates for assets and liabilities and average exchange rates for revenue and expenses. Capital accounts are translated at their historical exchange rates when the capital transactions occurred. The effects of foreign currency translation adjustments are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity. Cash flows from the Company’s operations are calculated based upon the local currencies using the average translation rate. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statements of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheets.

 

(d) Convertible promissory notes

 

Convertible promissory notes are recognized initially at fair value, net of upfront fees, debt discounts or premiums, debt issuance costs and other incidental fees. Upfront fees, debt discounts or premiums, debt issuance costs and other incidental fees are recorded as a reduction of the proceeds received and the related accretion is recorded as interest expense in the consolidated income statements over the estimated term of the facilities using the effective interest method.

 

(e) Beneficial conversion feature

 

The Company evaluates the conversion feature to determine whether it was beneficial as described in ASC 470-20. The intrinsic value of a beneficial conversion feature inherent to a convertible note payable, which is not bifurcated and accounted for separately from the convertible notes payable and may not be settled in cash upon conversion, is treated as a discount to the convertible notes payable. This discount is amortized over the period from the date of issuance to the date the notes are due using the effective interest method. If the notes payable are retired prior to the end of their contractual term, the unamortized discount is expensed in the period of retirement to interest expense. In general, the beneficial conversion feature is measured by comparing the effective conversion price, after considering the relative fair value of detachable instruments included in the financing transaction, if any, to the fair value of the shares of common stock at the commitment date to be received upon conversion.

 

(f) Recent accounting pronouncement

 

In November 2023, the FASB issued guidance to enhance disclosure of expenses of a public entity’s reportable segments. The new guidance requires a public entity to disclose: (1) on an annual and interim basis, significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (CODM) and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, (2) on an annual and interim basis, an amount for other segment items (the difference between segment revenue less the significant expenses disclosed under the significant expense principle and each reported measure of segment profit or loss), including a description of its composition, (3) on an annual and interim basis, information about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets previously required to be disclosed only on an annual basis, and (4) the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and how to allocate resources. The new guidance also clarifies that if the CODM uses more than one measure of a segment’s profit or loss, one or more of those measures may be reported and requires that a public entity that has a single reportable segment provide all the disclosures required by the amendments in this update and all existing segment disclosures. The guidance is effective for the current fiscal year 2024 annual reporting, and in the first quarter of 2025 for interim period reporting, with early adoption permitted. Upon adoption, this guidance should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented. We do not expect the adoption of this accounting standard to have an impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued guidance to enhance transparency of income tax disclosures. On an annual basis, the new guidance requires a public entity to disclose: (1) specific categories in the rate reconciliation, (2) additional information for reconciling items that are equal to or greater than 5% of the amount computed by multiplying income (or loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense (or benefit) by the applicable statutory income tax rate, (3) income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by federal (national), state, and foreign taxes, with foreign taxes disaggregated by individual jurisdictions in which income taxes paid is equal to or greater than 5% of total income taxes paid, (4) income (or loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense (or benefit) disaggregated between domestic and foreign, and (5) income tax expense (or benefit) from continuing operations disaggregated between federal (national), state and foreign. The guidance is effective for fiscal year 2025 annual reporting, with early adoption permitted, to be applied on a prospective basis, with retrospective application permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this accounting standard to have an impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements but will require certain additional disclosures.

 

In July 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The amendments in ASU 2023-07 improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The amendments in ASU 2023-07 improve financial reporting by requiring disclosure of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis for all public entities to enable investors to develop more decision-useful financial analyses. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-08: Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Crypto Assets (Subtopic 350-60). For annual and interim reporting periods, the amendments in this Update require that an entity, including an entity that is subject to industry-specific guidance, disclose the following information: (1) The name, cost basis, fair value, and number of units for each significant crypto asset holding and the aggregate fair values and cost bases of the crypto asset holdings that are not individually significant, (2) For crypto assets that are subject to contractual sale restrictions, the fair value of those crypto assets, the nature and remaining duration of the restriction(s), and the circumstances that could cause the restriction(s) to lapse.

 

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption. The Company does not discuss recent pronouncements that are not anticipated to have an impact on or are unrelated to its consolidated financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.

LEASES

10. LEASES

 

The Company leases an office space under non-cancelable operating leases, with a term of 24 months. The Company considers renewal or termination options that are reasonably certain to be exercised when determining the lease term and the initial measurement of right of use assets and lease liabilities. The amortization of right of use assets for lease payment is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet.

 

The Company determines whether a contract is, or contains, a lease at inception of the contract and whether that lease meets the classification criteria of a finance or operating lease. When available, the Company uses the rate implicit in the lease to discount lease payments to present value; however, most of the Company’s leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate. Therefore, the Company discounts lease payments based on an estimate of its incremental borrowing rate.

 

The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

 

Supplemental consolidated balance sheet information related to the operating lease was as follows:

Lease Liabilities-current  $39,616   $86,691 
Total  $39,616   $86,691 

 

The weighted average remaining lease terms and discount rates for the operating lease were as follows as of June 30, 2024:

 

Remaining lease term and discount rate:    
Weighted average remaining lease term (years)     
Weighted average discount rate   4.75%

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company charged total amortization of right-of-use assets of $143,121 and $61,140 respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company charged total amortization of right-of-use assets of $98,364 and $30,294 respectively.

INCOME TAXES

15. INCOME TAXES

 

The Enterprise Income Tax Law of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC tax law”), which was effective on January 1, 2008, stipulates those domestic enterprises and foreign-invested enterprises are subject to a uniform tax rate of 25%. Under the PRC tax law, companies are required to make quarterly estimate payments based on 25% tax rate; companies that received preferential tax rates are also required to use a 25% tax rate for their installment tax payments. The overpayment, however, will not be refunded and can only be used to offset future tax liabilities.

  

The Company evaluates the level of authority for each uncertain tax position (including the potential application of interest and penalties) based on the technical merits and measures the unrecognized benefits associated with the tax positions. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits. Due to uncertainties surrounding future utilization, the Company estimates there will not be sufficient future income to realize the deferred tax assets for certain subsidiaries and a VIE. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had deferred tax assets of $11,533,831 and $11,294,960, respectively. The Company maintains a full valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

 

The Company does not anticipate any significant increase to its liability for unrecognized tax benefit within the next 12 months. The Company will classify interest and penalties related to income tax matters, if any, in income tax expense.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company had current income tax expenses of $2,327,420 and $2,221,713, respectively, and deferred income tax expense of $374,931 and benefit of $384,454 in the connection of intangible assets generated from acquisitions.

 

The Company accounts for uncertainty in income taxes using a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon settlement. Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions are recognized and recorded as necessary in the provision for income taxes. The Company is subject to income taxes in the PRC. According to the PRC Tax Administration and Collection Law, the statute of limitations is three years if the underpayment of taxes is due to computational errors made by the taxpayer or the withholding agent. The statute of limitations is extended to five years under special circumstances, where the underpayment of taxes is more than RMB 100,000. In the case of transfer pricing issues, the statute of limitation is ten years. There is no statute of limitation in the case of tax evasion. There were no uncertain tax positions as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, and the Company does not believe that its unrecognized tax benefits will change over the next twelve months.

Risks and Uncertainties
6 Months Ended
Jun. 30, 2024
Risks and Uncertainties [Abstract]  
Risks and uncertainties

18. Risks and uncertainties

 

(1) Credit risk

 

Assets that potentially subject the Company to a significant concentration of credit risk primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents and trade receivables with its customers. The maximum exposure of such assets to credit risk is their carrying amount as of the balance sheet dates. As of June 30, 2024, approximately $21,511 was primarily deposited in financial institutions located in Mainland China, which were uninsured by the government authority. To limit exposure to credit risk relating to deposits, the Company primarily place cash deposits with large financial institutions in China, which management believes are of high credit quality. The Company considers the credit standing of customers when making sales to manage the credit risk. Considering the nature of the business at current, the Company believes that the credit risk is not material to its operations.

 

The Company’s operations are carried out in Mainland China. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environments in the PRC as well as by the general state of the PRC’s economy. In addition, the Company’s business may be influenced by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, rates and methods of taxation, and the extraction of mining resources, among other factors.

 

(2) Liquidity risk

 

The Company is also exposed to liquidity risk which is the risk that it is unable to provide sufficient capital resources and liquidity to meet its commitments and business needs. Liquidity risk is controlled by the application of financial position analysis and monitoring procedures. When necessary, the Company will turn to other financial institutions and the owners to obtain short-term funding to meet the liquidity shortage.

  

(3) Foreign currency risk

 

Substantially all of the Company’s operating activities and the Company’s major assets and liabilities are denominated in RMB, which is not freely convertible into foreign currencies. All foreign exchange transactions take place either through the Peoples’ Bank of China (“PBOC”) or other authorized financial institutions at exchange rates quoted by PBOC. Approval of foreign currency payments by the PBOC or other regulatory institutions requires submitting a payment application form together with suppliers’ invoices and signed contracts.

 

The value of RMB is subject to changes in central government policies and to international economic and political developments affecting supply and demand in the China Foreign Exchange Trading System market. Where there is a significant change in value of RMB, the gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements of a foreign subsidiary will be significantly affected.

 

Translation of amounts from RMB into US$ has been made at the following exchange rates for the respective periods:

 

   June 30,   December 31, 
   2024   2023 
Balance sheet items, except for equity accounts   7.1268    7.0827 

 

   For the six months ended
June 30,
 
   2024   2023 
Items in the statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), and statements of cash flows   7.1051    6.8476 

 

(4) Economic and political risks

 

The Company’s operations are conducted in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environment in the PRC, and by the general state of the PRC economy.

 

(5) Risks related to industry

 

The Company sells precious products to customers through our industrial relationship. Sales contracts are entered into with each customer. The Company is the principal under the precious metal direct sales model as the Company controls the products with the ability to direct the use of, and obtain all the remaining benefits from the precious metal products substantially before they are sold to its customers. The Company has a single performance obligation to sell metal products to the buyers. The Company estimates the amount of variable consideration, including sales return using the expected value method and includes variable consideration in the transaction price to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal will not occur. Revenue for precious metal trading under the direct sales model is recognized at a point in time when the single performance obligation is satisfied when the products are delivered to the customer. We are under the risk of the economic environment in general and specific to the precious metal industry and China as well as changes to the existing governmental regulations.

 

Commodity trading in China is subject to seasonal fluctuations, which may cause our revenues to fluctuate from quarter to quarter. We generally experience less user traffic and purchase orders during national holidays in China, particularly during the Chinese New Year holiday season in the first quarter of each year. Consequently, the first quarter of each calendar year generally contributes the smallest portion of our annual revenues. Furthermore, as we are substantially dependent on sales of precious metals, our quarterly revenues and results of operations are likely to be affected by price fluctuation under macroeconomic circumstances these years.

 

As our revenues have grown rapidly in recent years, these factors are difficult to discern based on our historical results, which, therefore, should not be relied on to predict our future performance. Our financial condition and results of operations for future periods may continue to fluctuate. As a result, the trading price of our stock may fluctuate from time to time due to seasonality.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of presentation

(a) Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). All transactions and balances among the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation.

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial information as of June 30, 2024 and for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 have been prepared, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures, which are normally included in annual condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, have been omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 previously filed with the SEC on March 22, 2024.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present a fair statement of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2024 and its unaudited condensed consolidated results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, and its unaudited condensed consolidated cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, as applicable, have been made. The interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the fiscal year or any future periods.

 

Use of estimates

(b) Use of estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, management reviews these estimates using the currently available information. Changes in facts and circumstances may cause the Company to revise its estimates. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the financial statements include: (i) useful lives and residual value of long-lived assets; (ii) the impairment of long-lived assets and investments; (iii) the valuation allowance of deferred tax assets; (iv) estimates of allowance for doubtful accounts, including loans receivable from third parties and related parties; (v) valuation of Inventory; and (vi) contingencies and litigation.

Foreign currency translation

(c) Foreign currency translation

The Company’s financial information is presented in U.S. dollars (“USD”). The functional currency of the Company is the Chinese Yuan Renminbi (“RMB”), the currency of PRC. Any transactions which are denominated in currencies other than RMB are translated into RMB at the exchange rate quoted by the People’s Bank of China prevailing at the dates of the transactions, and exchange gains and losses are included in the statements of operations as foreign currency transaction gain or loss. The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters. The financial information is first prepared in RMB and then translated into U.S. dollars at period-end exchange rates for assets and liabilities and average exchange rates for revenue and expenses. Capital accounts are translated at their historical exchange rates when the capital transactions occurred. The effects of foreign currency translation adjustments are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity. Cash flows from the Company’s operations are calculated based upon the local currencies using the average translation rate. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statements of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheets.

Convertible promissory notes

(d) Convertible promissory notes

Convertible promissory notes are recognized initially at fair value, net of upfront fees, debt discounts or premiums, debt issuance costs and other incidental fees. Upfront fees, debt discounts or premiums, debt issuance costs and other incidental fees are recorded as a reduction of the proceeds received and the related accretion is recorded as interest expense in the consolidated income statements over the estimated term of the facilities using the effective interest method.

Beneficial conversion feature

(e) Beneficial conversion feature

The Company evaluates the conversion feature to determine whether it was beneficial as described in ASC 470-20. The intrinsic value of a beneficial conversion feature inherent to a convertible note payable, which is not bifurcated and accounted for separately from the convertible notes payable and may not be settled in cash upon conversion, is treated as a discount to the convertible notes payable. This discount is amortized over the period from the date of issuance to the date the notes are due using the effective interest method. If the notes payable are retired prior to the end of their contractual term, the unamortized discount is expensed in the period of retirement to interest expense. In general, the beneficial conversion feature is measured by comparing the effective conversion price, after considering the relative fair value of detachable instruments included in the financing transaction, if any, to the fair value of the shares of common stock at the commitment date to be received upon conversion.

 

Recent accounting pronouncement

(f) Recent accounting pronouncement

In November 2023, the FASB issued guidance to enhance disclosure of expenses of a public entity’s reportable segments. The new guidance requires a public entity to disclose: (1) on an annual and interim basis, significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (CODM) and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, (2) on an annual and interim basis, an amount for other segment items (the difference between segment revenue less the significant expenses disclosed under the significant expense principle and each reported measure of segment profit or loss), including a description of its composition, (3) on an annual and interim basis, information about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets previously required to be disclosed only on an annual basis, and (4) the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and how to allocate resources. The new guidance also clarifies that if the CODM uses more than one measure of a segment’s profit or loss, one or more of those measures may be reported and requires that a public entity that has a single reportable segment provide all the disclosures required by the amendments in this update and all existing segment disclosures. The guidance is effective for the current fiscal year 2024 annual reporting, and in the first quarter of 2025 for interim period reporting, with early adoption permitted. Upon adoption, this guidance should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented. We do not expect the adoption of this accounting standard to have an impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued guidance to enhance transparency of income tax disclosures. On an annual basis, the new guidance requires a public entity to disclose: (1) specific categories in the rate reconciliation, (2) additional information for reconciling items that are equal to or greater than 5% of the amount computed by multiplying income (or loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense (or benefit) by the applicable statutory income tax rate, (3) income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by federal (national), state, and foreign taxes, with foreign taxes disaggregated by individual jurisdictions in which income taxes paid is equal to or greater than 5% of total income taxes paid, (4) income (or loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense (or benefit) disaggregated between domestic and foreign, and (5) income tax expense (or benefit) from continuing operations disaggregated between federal (national), state and foreign. The guidance is effective for fiscal year 2025 annual reporting, with early adoption permitted, to be applied on a prospective basis, with retrospective application permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this accounting standard to have an impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements but will require certain additional disclosures.

In July 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The amendments in ASU 2023-07 improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The amendments in ASU 2023-07 improve financial reporting by requiring disclosure of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis for all public entities to enable investors to develop more decision-useful financial analyses. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-08: Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Crypto Assets (Subtopic 350-60). For annual and interim reporting periods, the amendments in this Update require that an entity, including an entity that is subject to industry-specific guidance, disclose the following information: (1) The name, cost basis, fair value, and number of units for each significant crypto asset holding and the aggregate fair values and cost bases of the crypto asset holdings that are not individually significant, (2) For crypto assets that are subject to contractual sale restrictions, the fair value of those crypto assets, the nature and remaining duration of the restriction(s), and the circumstances that could cause the restriction(s) to lapse.

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption. The Company does not discuss recent pronouncements that are not anticipated to have an impact on or are unrelated to its consolidated financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.
