Exhibit 99.1
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING
FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Alpha Mind Technology Limited
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated
balance sheets of Alpha Mind Technology Limited, subsidiaries, and variable interest entities (collectively the “Company”)
as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the related consolidated statements of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss), changes in
shareholders’ equity, and cash flows in each of the years for the two-year period ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes
(collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each
of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our
audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are
required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the
standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged
to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding
of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess
the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond
to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Alpha Mind Technology Limited (“Alpha Mind
BVI” or the “Company”) is a holding company incorporated on April 17, 2023 under the laws of British Virgin Islands
(the “BVI”). The Company has no substantive operations other than holding all of the outstanding share capital of Alpha Mind
Technology Limited (“Alpha Mind HK”), which is also a holding company incorporated in Hong Kong on October 19, 2021. The Company
operates as an agency to sell insurance products in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC” or “China”), through
variable interest entities (“VIE”), Huaming Insurance Agency Co., Ltd (“Huaming Insurance”), which was established
on March 7, 2014, and Huaming Yunbao (Tianjin) Technology Co., Ltd (“Huaming Yunbao”), which was established on May 8, 2015.
On April 13, 2022, Alpha Mind HK became the sole
shareholder of Jiachuang Yingan (Beijing) Information & Technology Inc. (“Jiachuang Yingan”, or “WFOE”), a
Beijing company incorporated on August 2, 2019. Jiachuang Yingan entered into a series of contractual arrangements, or VIE agreements
with Huaming Insurance and Huaming Yunbao and the equity holders of Huaming Insurance and Huaming Yunbao, through which the Company obtained
control and became the primary beneficiary of Huaming Insurance and Huaming Yunbao. As a result, Huaming Insurance and Huaming Yunbao
became the Company’s VIE.
The structure of the Company as follows:
Contractual Arrangements
The Company, through the WFOE, has the following
contractual arrangements with the VIE and its shareholders that enable the Company to (1) to direct the activities that most significantly
affect the economic performance of the VIE, and (2) receive the economic benefits of the VIE that could be significant to the VIE.
Accordingly, the WFOE was considered the primary beneficiary of the VIE and had consolidated the VIE’s financial results of operations,
assets and liabilities in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
The significant terms of the Contractual Arrangements
are as follows:
Exclusive Business Cooperation Agreement
Pursuant to the exclusive business cooperation
agreement between Jiachuang Yingan WFOE and Huaming Insurance and Huaming Yunbao, Jiachuang Yingan WFOE has the exclusive right to provide
Huaming Insurance and Huaming Yunbao with technical support services, consulting services and other services requested by Huaming Insurance
and Huaming Yunbao from time to time to the extent permitted under PRC law. In exchange, Jiachuang Yingan WFOE is entitled to a service
fee that equals to all of the consolidated net income of each of Huaming Insurance and Huaming Yunbao. The service fee may be adjusted
by Jiachuang Yingan WFOE based on the actual scope of services rendered by Jiachuang Yingan WFOE and the operational needs and expanding
demands of Huaming Insurance and Huaming Yunbao. Pursuant to the exclusive business cooperation agreement, the service fees may be adjusted
based on the actual scope of services rendered by Jiachuang Yingan WFOE and the operational needs of Huaming Insurance and Huaming Yunbao.
The exclusive business cooperation agreement remains
in effect unless terminated in accordance with the following provision of the agreement or terminated in writing by Jiachuang Yingan WFOE.
During the term of the exclusive business cooperation
agreement, Jiachuang Yingan WFOE and Huaming Insurance and Huaming Yunbao shall renew the operation term prior to the expiration thereof
so as to enable the exclusive business cooperation agreement to remain effective. The exclusive business cooperation agreement shall be
terminated upon the expiration of the operation term of either Jiachuang Yingan WFOE or Huaming Insurance and Huaming Yunbao if the application
for renewal of the operation term is not approved by relevant government authorities. If an application for renewal of the operation term
is not approved, according to the PRC Company Law, the expiration of the operation term may lead to the dissolution and cancellation of
such PRC company.
Exclusive Option Agreement
Pursuant to the exclusive option agreement among
Jiachuang Yingan WFOE, Huaming Insurance and Huaming Yunbao and the shareholders who collectively owned all of Huaming Insurance and Huaming
Yunbao, such shareholders jointly and severally granted Jiachuang Yingan WFOE an option to purchase their equity interests in Huaming
Insurance and Huaming Yunbao. The purchase price upon exercise of the option will be the lowest price then permitted under applicable
PRC laws. Jiachuang Yingan WFOE or its designated person may exercise such option at any time to purchase all or part of the equity interests
in Huaming Insurance and Huaming Yunbao until it has acquired all equity interests of Huaming Insurance and Huaming Yunbao, which is irrevocable
during the term of the agreements.
The exclusive option agreement remains in effect
until all equity interest held by shareholders in Huaming Insurance and Huaming Yunbao have been transferred or assigned to Jiachuang
Yingan WFOE and/or any other person designated by the Jiachuang Yingan WFOE in accordance with such agreement.
Equity Interest Pledge Agreements
Pursuant to the equity interest pledge agreements,
among Jiachuang Yingan WFOE, Huaming Insurance and Huaming Yunbao, and the shareholders who collectively owned all of Huaming Insurance
and Huaming Yunbao, such shareholders pledged all of the equity interests in Huaming Insurance and Huaming Yunbao to Jiachuang Yingan
WFOE as collateral to secure the obligations of Huaming Insurance and Huaming Yunbao under the exclusive business cooperation agreement,
shareholders’ powers of attorney and exclusive option agreements. These shareholders are prohibited from transferring the pledged
equity interests without the prior consent of Jiachuang Yingan WFOE unless transferring the equity interests to Jiachuang Yingan WFOE
or its designated person in accordance to the exclusive option agreements.
The equity interest pledge agreements will remain
in effect until all of the obligations to Jiachuang Yingan WFOE have been fulfilled completely by Huaming Insurance and Huaming Yunbao.
Shareholders’ Powers of Attorney (“POAs”)
Pursuant to the shareholders’ POAs, the

NOTE
2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission for financial information, and include all normal and recurring adjustments that management of the Company considers necessary
for a fair presentation of its financial position and operation results.
The
consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries, which include the wholly-owned
foreign enterprise and VIE over which the Company exercises control and, when applicable, entities for which the Company has a controlling
financial interest or is the primary beneficiary for accounting purposes. Jiachuang Yingan WFOE is
deemed to have a controlling financial interest and be the primary beneficiary for accounting purposes of Huaming Insurance and
Huaming Yunbao because it has both of the following characteristics: (1) the power to direct
activities at Huaming Insurance and Huaming Yunbao that most significantly impact such entity’s
economic performance, and (2) the right to receive benefits from Huaming Insurance and Huaming Yunbao that
could potentially be significant to such entity. All transactions and balances among the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated
upon consolidation.
The
Company adopted a fiscal year end of December 31st.
NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
Use
of Estimates and assumptions
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements
and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Significant
estimates and assumptions reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements during the years ended December 31, 2022
and 2021 include, but not are not limited to, the allowance for doubtful accounts, the useful life of property and equipment, and assumptions
used in assessing impairment of long-lived assets, revenue recognition, allowance for deferred tax assets and the associated valuation
allowance. Management bases the estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the
results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could materially
differ from those estimates.
Foreign
Currency Translation
The
reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar (“USD”). The Company’s functional currency is the RMB, result of
operations and cash flows are translated at average exchange rates during the period, assets and liabilities are translated at the unified
exchange rate at the end of the period, and equity is translated at historical exchange rates. As a result, amounts relating to assets
and liabilities reported on the statements of cash flows may not necessarily agree with the changes in the corresponding balances on the
balance sheets. Translation adjustments resulting from the process of translating the local currency financial statements into U.S. dollars
are included in determining comprehensive income/loss.
All
of the Company’s revenue and expense transactions are transacted in the functional currency. The Company does not enter into any
material transaction in foreign currencies. Transaction gains or losses have not had, and are not expected to have, a material effect
on the results of operations of the Company.
The
consolidated balance sheet amounts, with the exception of equity, at December 31, 2022 and 2021 were translated at RMB 6.9646 to $1.00
and at RMB 6.3757 to $1.00, respectively. Equity accounts were stated at their historical rates. The average translation rates applied
to consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 were RMB 6.7261 and RMB 6.4515 to $1.00,
respectively.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
The
Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash
and cash equivalents are comprised primarily of bank accounts. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, cash and cash equivalents balances held
in China amounted to $341,743 and $512,028, respectively.
Restricted
Cash
The
Company, as an insurance agency, is required to reserve 10% of its registered capital in cash held in an escrow bank account pursuant
to the China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission (“CBIRC”) rules and regulations, in order to protect insurance premium
appropriation by insurance agency which is restricted as to withdrawal for other than current operations. Thus, the Company classified
the balance for guarantee deposit as a non-current asset. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the non-current restricted cash amounted to
$717,916 and $784,228, respectively.
Concentrations
of Credit Risk
The
Company has operations carried out in China. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations
may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environment in China, and by the general state of China’s economy. The Company’s
operations in China are subject to specific considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America.
The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary
measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.
Accounts
Receivable, Net
Accounts receivable represents
insurance agency service fee or commission receivable on insurance products sold from insurance companies stated at net realizable values.
The Company reviews its accounts receivable on a periodic basis to determine if the bad debt allowance is adequate, and adjust the allowance
when necessary.
In establishing the allowance
for doubtful accounts, management considers historical collection experience, aging of the receivables, the economic environment, industry
trend analysis, and the credit history and financial conditions of the customers. Accounts are written off after exhaustive efforts at
collection.
As
of December 31, 2022 and 2021, allowance for doubtful accounts were $38,360 and $14,054 respectively.
Other Receivables, Net
Other receivables primarily include advances to
employees and other deposits. Management regularly reviews the aging of receivables and changes in payment trends and records allowances
when management believes collection of amounts due are at risk. Accounts considered uncollectable are written off against allowances after
exhaustive efforts at collection are made.
As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, allowance for
doubtful accounts were $611,382 and $610,174, respectively.
Prepayments
Prepayments
are advanced to suppliers for future service rendering. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, prepayments amounted to $1,412,266 and $2,449,349,
respectively. For any advances to suppliers determined by management that such advances will not be in receipts or refundable, the Company
will recognize an allowance account to reserve such balances. Management reviews its advances to suppliers on a regular basis to determine
if the allowance is adequate, and adjusts the allowance when necessary. Delinquent account balances are written off against allowance
for doubtful accounts after management has determined that the likelihood of collection is not probable. Management continues to evaluate
the reasonableness of the valuation allowance policy and update it if necessary. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, no allowance for the
doubtful accounts were deemed necessary.
Property and Equipment
Property
and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation, and depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives
of the assets. Cost represents the purchase price of the asset and other costs incurred to bring the asset into its existing use. The
cost of repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred; major replacements and improvements are capitalized. When assets are retired
or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are included in
income/loss in the year of disposition. Estimated useful lives are as follows:
|
|
Estimated
Useful Life |
Automobile |
|
3 - 5 Years |
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
In
accordance with ASC Topic 360, the Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable, or at least annually. The Company recognizes an impairment loss when
the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of impairment is measured
as the difference between the asset’s estimated fair value and its book value. The Company did not record any impairment charge
for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.
Value
Added Tax
Pursuant
to the PRC tax legislation, general taxpayers normally applies value-added-tax (VAT) of 6% in the modern service industries on a nationwide
basis. The Company is subject to VAT of 6% for providing insurance agency service as general taxpayer, while the branch office in Liaoning
Yixian subjects to 3% VAT as small taxpayer until September 2022, and then applied to general taxpayer in October 2022 . Entities that
are VAT general taxpayers are allowed to offset qualified input VAT paid to suppliers against their output VAT liabilities. Net VAT balance
between input VAT and output VAT is recorded in tax payable. The amount of VAT liability is determined by applying the applicable tax
rate to the invoiced amount. The Company reports revenue net of PRC’s VAT for all the periods presented on the statements of operations
and comprehensive income (loss).
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company recognizes revenue under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers
(“ASC 606”). The core principle of the revenue standard is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer
of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in
exchange for those goods or services. The following five steps are applied to achieve that core principle:
|
● |
Step 1: Identify the contract with the customer |
|
|
|
|
● |
Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract |
|
|
|
|
● |
Step 3: Determine the transaction price |
|
|
|
|
● |
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract |
|
|
|
|
● |
Step 5: Recognize revenue when the company satisfies a performance obligation |
The
Company generates revenue primarily from its insurance agency services. According to the agency service contracts made by and between
the Company and insurance carriers, the Company is authorized to sell insurance products provided by insurance carriers to the insureds
as an insurance agent, and collects commission from the respective insurance carriers as revenue.
The
commission charged is determined by the terms agreed in the agency service contract, typically a percentage of insurance premium. The
performance obligation is considered met and revenue is recognized when the insurance agency services are rendered and completed at the
time an insurance policy becomes effective and the premium is collected from the insured.
The
necessary data to reasonably determine the revenue amount is controlled by the insurance carriers, and bill statement is confirmed with
the Company on a monthly basis. The Company has met all the criteria of revenue recognition when the premiums are collected by the respective
insurance carriers and not before, because collectability is not ensured until receipt of the premium. Therefore, the Company does not
accrue any commissions prior to the receipt of the related premiums of insurance carriers, due to the specific practice in the industry.
The Company
recorded insurance agency commission revenue in the amount of $47,443,458 and $44,948,234 for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021,
respectively.
Cost
of Revenues
Cost of
revenues consists primarily of commissions paid to distribution channels. The Company generally recognizes commissions as cost of revenues
when incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the cost of revenue amounted to $43,775,753 and $41,946,093 respectively.
Selling
Expenses
Selling
expenses mainly consisted of advertising and marketing expenses. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the selling expenses
amounted to $3,380,556 and $2,440,581 respectively.
Operating
Leases
The Company
adopted FASB Accounting Standards Codification, Topic 842, Leases (“ASC 842”) using the modified retrospective approach, electing
the practical expedient that allows the Company not to restate prior to the adoption of the standard on January 1, 2019.
The Company
applied the following practical expedients in the transition to the new standard allowed under ASC 842:
Practical Expedient |
|
Description |
Reassessment of expired or existing contracts |
|
The Company elected not to reassess, at the application date, whether any expired or existing contracts contained leases, the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and the accounting for initial direct costs for any existing leases. |
Use of hindsight |
|
The Company elected to use hindsight in determining the lease term (that is, when considering options to extend or terminate the lease and to purchase the underlying asset) and in assessing impairment of right-to-use assets. |
Reassessment of existing or expired land easements |
|
The Company elected not to evaluate existing or expired land easements that were not previously accounted for as leases under ASC 840, as allowed under the transition practical expedient. Going forward, new or modified land easements will be evaluated under ASU No. 2016-02. |
Separation of lease and non-lease components |
|
Lease agreements that contain both lease and non-lease components are generally accounted for separately. |
Short-term lease recognition exemption |
|
The Company also elected the short-term lease recognition exemption and will not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities for leases with a term less than 12 months. |
The Company determines if an arrangement is a
lease at inception under FASB ASC Topic 842, Right of Use Assets (“ROU”) and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement
date based on the present value of remaining lease payments over the lease term. For this purpose, the Company considers only payments
that are fixed and determinable at the time of commencement. As most of its leases do not provide an implicit rate, it uses its incremental
borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company’s
incremental borrowing rate is a hypothetical rate based on its understanding of what its credit rating would be. The ROU assets include
adjustments for prepayments and accrued lease payments. The ROU asset also includes any lease payments made prior to commencement and
is recorded net of any lease incentives received. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease
when it is reasonably certain that it will exercise such options.
ROU assets are reviewed for impairment when indicators
of impairment are present. ROU assets from operating and finance leases are subject to the impairment guidance in ASC 360, Property, Plant,
and Equipment, as ROU assets are long-lived nonfinancial assets.
ROU assets are tested for impairment individually
or as part of an asset group if the cash flows related to the ROU asset are not independent from the cash flows of other assets and liabilities.
An asset group is the unit of accounting for long-lived assets to be held and used, which represents the lowest level for which identifiable
cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets and liabilities. The Company recognized no impairment of
ROU assets as of December 31, 2022 and 2021. Operating leases are included in operating lease ROU and operating lease liabilities (current
and non-current), on the consolidated balance sheets.
Employee
Benefits
The
Company makes mandatory contributions to the PRC government’s health, retirement benefit and unemployment funds in accordance with
the relevant Chinese social security laws. The costs of these payments are charged to the same accounts as the related salary costs in
the same period as the related salary costs incurred. Employee benefit costs totaled $641,389 and $803,833 for the years ended December
31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Income
Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the
asset/liability method prescribed by ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined
based on the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be in
effect in the period in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to offset deferred tax
assets if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets
will not be realized. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized as income or loss in the period that includes
the enactment date.
The Company follows the accounting guidance for
uncertainty in income taxes using the provisions of ASC 740 “Income Taxes”. Using that guidance, tax positions initially need
to be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax
authorities. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had no significant uncertain tax positions that qualify for either
recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. Tax years that remain subject to examination are the years ended December 31, 2022
and 2021. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to significant uncertain income tax positions in other expense. No such
interest and penalties incurred for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.
Comprehensive
Income
Comprehensive
income is comprised of net income and all changes to the statements of equity, except those due to investments by shareholders, changes
in paid-in capital and distributions to shareholders. For the Company, comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2022 and
2021 consisted of net income and unrealized (loss) gain from foreign currency translation adjustment.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements
The
Company adopted the guidance of ASC 820 for fair value measurements which clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for
measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
|
● |
Level 1-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date. |
|
|
|
|
● |
Level 2-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data. |
|
|
|
|
● |
Level 3-Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available information. |
The
carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current
assets, taxes payable, accrued liabilities and other payables, and due from (to) related parties, approximate their fair market value
based on the short-term maturity of these instruments.
Commitments
and Contingencies
In
the normal course of business, the Company is subject to contingencies, such as legal proceedings and claims arising out of its business,
that cover a wide range of matters. Liabilities for such contingencies are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred
and the amount of the assessment can be reasonably estimated.
Segment
Reporting
ASC
280 “Segment reporting” establishes standards for reporting information on operating segments in interim and annual financial
statements. Operating segments are defined as the components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available
that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.
Our chief operating decision makers direct the allocation of resources to operating segments based on the profitability, cash flows, and
growth opportunities of each respective segment.
The
Company manages its business as a single operating segment engaged in the provision of insurance agent services in the PRC. Substantially
all of its revenues are derived in the PRC. All long-lived assets are located in PRC.
Related
Parties
Parties
are considered to be related to the Company if the parties, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, control, are controlled
by, or are under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members
of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal with
if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting
parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. The Company discloses all significant related party transactions.

HK$2 million of profits arising in or derived from Hong Kong are taxed at 8.25% and any assessable profits over HK$2 million are taxed
at 16.5%. Alpha Mind HK had no operations for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.
Therefore, there was no provision for income taxes in the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.

Congress enacted a new enterprise income tax law, which took effect on January 1, 2008. The law applies a uniform 25% enterprise income
tax rate to both foreign invested enterprises and domestic enterprises. In the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, Jiachuang Yingan
WFOE did not generate any taxable income. Therefore, there was no provision for income taxes in the years ended December 31, 2022 and
2021.

The Company provided a valuation allowance equal
to the deferred income tax assets related to net operating loss carryforward for the year ended December 31, 2022, because it was not
known whether future taxable income will be sufficient to utilize the loss carryforward. The potential tax benefit arising from the loss
carryforward will begin to expire in 2026.
As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company
had no significant uncertain tax positions that qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. As of December
31, 2022, income tax returns for the tax years ended December 31, 2017 through December 31, 2021 remain open for statutory examination
by PRC tax authorities.
The uncertain tax positions are related to tax
years that remain subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities. Based on the outcome of any future examinations, or as a result
of the expiration of statute of limitations for specific jurisdictions, it is reasonably possible that the related unrecognized tax benefits
for tax positions taken regarding previously filed tax returns, might materially change from those recorded as liabilities for uncertain
tax positions in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2022 and 2021. In addition, the outcome of these
examinations may impact the valuation of certain deferred tax assets (such as net operating losses) in future periods. The Company’s
policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits, if any, as a component of other expense. The Company
does not anticipate any significant increases or decreases to its liability for unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months.
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
The tax authority of the PRC government conducts
periodic and ad hoc tax filing reviews on business enterprises operating in the PRC after those enterprises complete their relevant tax
filings. Therefore, the Company’s PRC entities’ tax filings results are subject to change. It is therefore uncertain as to
whether the PRC tax authority may take different views about the Company’s PRC entities’ tax filings, which may lead to additional
tax liabilities.
ASC 740 requires recognition and measurement of
uncertain income tax positions using a “more-likely-than-not” approach. The management evaluated the Company’s tax positions
and concluded that no provision for uncertainty in income taxes was necessary as of December 31, 2022 and 2021.
NOTE
11 – SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Alpha Mind BVI was established under the laws
of British Virgin Islands on April 17, 2023. The Company is authorised to issue a maximum of 50,000 shares of US$1.00 par value each of
a single class and series.
NOTE
12 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Contingencies
From time to time, the Company may be subject
to certain legal proceedings, claims and disputes that arise in the ordinary course of business. Although the outcomes of these legal
proceedings cannot be predicted, the Company does not believe these actions, in the aggregate, will have a material adverse impact on
its financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
Variable Interest Entity Structure
In the opinion of the management, (i) the corporate
structure of the Company is in compliance with existing PRC laws and regulations; (ii) the VIE Agreements are valid and binding, and do
not result in any violation of PRC laws or regulations currently in effect; and (iii) the business operations of WFOE, VIE and VIE’s
subsidiaries are in compliance with existing PRC laws and regulations in all material respects.
However, there are substantial uncertainties regarding
the interpretation and application of current and future PRC laws and regulations. Accordingly, the Company cannot be assured that PRC
regulatory authorities will not ultimately take a contrary view to the foregoing opinion of its management. If the current corporate structure
of the Company or the VIE Agreements are found to be in violation of any existing or future PRC laws and regulations, the Company may
be required to restructure its corporate structure and operations in the PRC to comply with changing and new PRC laws and regulations.
In the opinion of management, the likelihood of loss in respect of the Company’s current corporate structure or the VIE Agreements
is remote based on current facts and circumstances.
NOTE
13 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Group has evaluated subsequent events through
the date the consolidated financial statements are issued, and concluded that no subsequent events have occurred that would require recognition
or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.

Exhibit 99.2
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
On May 31,
2023, the Company completed the subscription for 85% of the issued and outstanding shares of Alpha Mind Technology Limited (“Alpha
Mind”), at a total consideration of $99,650,000, consisting of $92,650,000 in cash and $7.0 million in the form of a convertible
promissory note (the “Share Subscription”).
We refer the acquired company, Alpha Mind as “the
acquired company”, and the corresponding transactions collectively as “Acquisition”.
The following unaudited pro forma combined financial
information of the Company and the acquired company is presented to illustrate the estimated effects of the Acquisition described below
(“Adjustments” or “Pro Forma Adjustments”).
The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet

company, after giving effect to the Acquisition as if it had occurred on December 31, 2022. The unaudited pro forma statement of operations
for the year ended December 31, 2022 combines the historical consolidated statement of comprehensive loss of the Company and the consolidated
statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income or loss of the acquired company, after giving effect to the Acquisition as
if it had occurred on January 1, 2022. These unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet and unaudited pro forma combined statement of
operations are referred to collectively as the “pro forma financial information.”
The pro forma financial information should be
read in conjunction with the accompanying notes. In addition, the pro forma financial information is derived from and should be read in
conjunction with the following historical financial statements and accompanying notes of the Company and the acquired companies:
(i) audited consolidated financial statements
as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 and the related notes included in the annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended
December 31, 2022 filed by the Company; and
(ii) audited consolidated financial statements
of Alpha Mind as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022 and the related notes included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on
Form 6-K filed August 29, 2023.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of
these unaudited pro forma combined financial statements
NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Basis of Presentation
The pro forma financial information was prepared
in conformity with Article 11 of Regulation S-X. The pro forma financial information for acquisitions was prepared using the acquisition
method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 805, “Business Combinations” (“ASC 805”)
and was derived from the audited historical financial statements of the Company and the acquired company.
The pro forma financial information has been prepared
by the Company for illustrative and informational purposes only in accordance with Article 11. The pro forma financial information is
not necessarily indicative of what the Company’s consolidated statement of comprehensive loss or consolidated balance sheet actually
would have been had the Acquisition and other Adjustments been completed as of the dates indicated or will be for any future periods.
The pro forma financial information does not purport to project the Company’s future financial position or results of operations
following the completion of the Acquisition.
The Company is still in the process of performing
a full review of the acquired companies’ accounting policies to determine if there are any additional material differences that
require modification or reclassification of the acquired companies’ revenues, expenses, assets or liabilities to conform to the
Company’s accounting policies and classifications. As a result of that review, the Company may identify differences between the
accounting policies of the companies that, when conformed, could have a material impact on the pro forma financial information.
2. Consideration and Purchase Price
Consideration and Purchase Price of Alpha Mind
Before the Share Subscription, the Company previously
held nil shares of Alpha Mind and the ownership of Alpha Mind was nil. On May 31, 2023, the Company completed the subscription for 85%
of the issued and outstanding shares of Alpha Mind, at a total consideration of $99,650,000, consisting of $92,650,000 in cash and $7.0
million in the form of a convertible promissory note. The Company’s ownership of Alpha Mind thereby increased to 85.0%.
The following table presents the calculation of preliminary purchase
consideration:

Purchase price at acquisition close on May 31, 2023 | |

Fair value of non-controlling shareholders | |
| 17,585,294 | |
Total allocated purchase price | |
| 117,235,294 | |
The allocation of the consideration is preliminary
and pending finalization of various estimates, inputs and analyses. Since this pro forma financial information has been prepared based
on preliminary estimates of consideration and fair values attributable to the Acquisition, the actual amounts eventually recorded in accordance
with the acquisition method of accounting, including the identifiable intangibles and goodwill, may differ materially from the information
presented.

The business combination accounting is not yet
final and the amounts assigned to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are provisional. Therefore, this may result in future
adjustments to the provisional amounts as new information is obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition
date. The final purchase price allocation will be determined when the Company has completed the detailed valuations and necessary calculations.
The final allocation could differ materially from the preliminary allocation used in the pro forma adjustments.
