Basis of ~~Presentation~~presentation

The ~~accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016, which has been derived from audited financial statements, and the unaudited~~ interim condensed consolidated financial statements ~~as of September 30, 2017 and for the three months ended and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016~~ have been ~~prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and disclosures, which are normally included in financial statements~~ prepared in accordance with ~~U.S. GAAP, have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although~~ the management believes that the disclosures made are adequate to provide for fair presentation. The interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and the notes thereto includedgenerally accepted accounting principles in the ~~Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, previously filed with the SEC.~~United States (“U.S. GAAP”).

This basis of accounting involves the application of accrual accounting and consequently, revenues and gains are recognized when earned, and expenses and losses are recognized when incurred. The Company’s financial statements are expressed in U.S. dollars.

~~In the opinion~~

Use of ~~management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present a fair statement~~estimates

The preparation of ~~the Company’s unaudited~~ interim condensed consolidated financial ~~position~~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 interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ materially from those results.

Basis of consolidation

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, and its subsidiaries, NFT Exchange, NFT Digital, Metaverse Payment, Hong Kong Takung, Tianjin Takung and Hong Kong MQ. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation.

Discontinued operations

The Company has adopted ASC Topic 205 “Presentation of Financial Statements” Subtopic 20-45, in determining whether any of its business component(s) classified as held for sale, disposed of by sale or other than by sale is required to be reported in discontinued operations. In accordance with ASC Topic 205-20-45-1, a discontinued operation may include a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity, or a business or non-profit activity. A disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity is required to be reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results when any of the following occurs: (1) the component of an entity or group of components of an entity meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale; (2) the component of an entity or group of components of an entity is disposed of by sale; (3) the component of an entity or group of components of an entity is disposed of other than by sale (for example, by abandonment or in a distribution to owners in a spinoff).

For the component disposed of other than by sale in accordance with paragraph 360-10-45-15, the Company adopted ASC Topic 205-20-45-3 and reported the results of operations of the discontinued operations, less applicable income tax expenses or benefits as a separate component in in the statement where net income (loss) is reported for current and all prior periods presented.

Due to the suspension of the operation of Tianjin Takung by the local authority in the fourth quarter of 2021, Hong Kong Takung lost its control over Tianjin Takung. The Company plans to dispose Hong Kong Takung, and is actively seeking buyers for Hong Kong Takung and related operations in order to focus on its blockchain and NFT business operation. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the operation of Hong Kong Takung was classified as a discontinued operation and as of December 31, 2021, the operation Tianjin Takung was deconsolidated. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the operation of Hong Kong Takung was presented in discontinued operations.

HKMQ is a part of the legacy business, which shall be discontinued and transferred to NFT service.

Deconsolidation

Under the ASC Subtopic 810-10-40, “Consolidation-Overall-Derecognition”, a reporting entity will deconsolidate a subsidiary in the period when the loss of control over such subsidiary incurred as a result of one or more of the following events: (i) a parent sells all or part of its ownership interest in its subsidiary; (ii) the expiration of a contractual agreement that gave control of the subsidiary to the parent; (iii) the subsidiary issues shares which reduces the parent’s ownership interest in the subsidiary to an extent that the parent no longer has a controlling financial interest in such subsidiary; (iv) the subsidiary becomes subject to the control of a government, court, administrator, or regulator. Upon deconsolidation, the reporting entity would no longer include the subsidiary’s assets, liabilities and results of operations in its consolidated financial statements. Due to the suspension of the operation of Tianjin Takung by the local authority. The financial information of Tianjin Takung was deconsolidated as of December 31, 2021.

Fair value measurements

The Company applies the provisions of ASC Subtopic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements”, for fair value measurements of financial assets and financial liabilities and for fair value measurements of non-financial items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements. ASC 820 also establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.

ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to measurements involving significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

●

Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

●

Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.

●

Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.

There were no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis subject to the disclosure requirements of ASC 820 as of September 30, ~~2017,~~2022 and December 31, 2021.

Comprehensive loss

The Company follows the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 220 “Reporting Comprehensive Income” and establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances in a full set of general purpose financial statements. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company’s comprehensive loss includes net loss and foreign currency translation adjustment.

Foreign currency translation and transaction

The functional currency of Metaverse Payment, Hong Kong Takung, Hong Kong MQ and Tianjin Takung are in Hong Kong Dollar (“HKD”); NFT Digital and NFT Exchange are in United States Dollar (“USD”)

The reporting currency of the Company is USD.

Transactions in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the date of the transaction. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at the end of the reporting periods. Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items and on re-translation of monetary items at period-end are included in income statement of the period.

For the purpose of presenting these financial statements, the Company’s assets and liabilities with functional currency of HKD are expressed in USD at the exchange rate on the balance sheet’s dates, which is 7.8510 and 7.7996 as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively;

The resulting translation adjustments are reported under accumulated other comprehensive loss in the stockholders’ equity section of the balance sheets.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, cash in bank with no restrictions, as well as highly liquid investments which are unrestricted as to withdrawal or use, and which have original maturities of three months or less when initially purchased.

Restricted cash

Restricted cash represents the cash deposited by the NFT traders into a specific bank account under Takung (“the broker’s account”) in order to facilitate the trading of NFT in our online NFT platform. After the user’s registration is successful, the customer deposits must be transferred to the designated account of the platform through the bank account added by the user before the transaction starts, and a transfer application is submitted on the platform, which can enter the buyer’s platform account after financial review. Except for instructing the bank to deduct the commission, Takung has no right to use any funds in the broker’s account. Our restricted cash is denominated in USD. As of September 30, 2022, the ending balance of our restricted cash was $3,239,525.

Accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts

Accounts receivable are recorded and carried at the original invoiced amount less an allowance for any potential uncollectible amounts. The Company makes estimates for the allowance for doubtful accounts based upon the assessment of various factors, including historical, experience, the age of the accounts receivable balances, credit quality of the customers, current economic conditions, and other factors that may affect customers’ ability to pay.

Prepayment and other current assets, net

Prepayment and other current assets mainly consist of the prepayment for income taxes, maintenance of online trading system, advertising and promotional services, insurances, financial advisory, professional services, rental deposits, as well as other current assets.

Property and equipment, net

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Gains or losses on dispositions of property and equipment are included in operating income or expense. Major additions, renewals and betterments are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation and amortization are provided over the estimated useful lives of the assets using the straight-line method from the time the assets are placed in service.

The Company developed systems and solutions for solely internal use. Certain costs incurred in connection with developing or obtaining internal use software are capitalized. Unamortized capitalized costs are included in computer trading and clearing system, within property and equipment, net in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Capitalized software costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the software of 5 years. Amortization of these costs is included in depreciation and amortization expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Estimated useful lives are as follows, taking into account the assets’ estimated residual value:

Classification		Estimated useful life
Furniture, fixtures and equipment		5 years
Leasehold improvements		Shorter of the remaining lease terms and the estimated 3 years
Computer trading and clearing system		5 years

Long-lived assets

The Company evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. When these events occur, the Company assesses the recoverability of these long-lived assets by comparing the carrying amount of the assets to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. If the future undiscounted cash flow is less than the carrying amount of the assets, the Company recognizes an impairment equal to the difference between the carrying amount and fair value of these assets.

During 2021, we recorded $16.5million in asset impairments due to the deconsolidation of Tianjin Takung as a result of the loss of control in this entity. Please refer to Note 6 for details. In addition, we determined that the future undiscounted cash flow was less than the carrying cost of our non-marketable investment and recognized an impairment charge of $1,333,506 for twelve months ended December 31, 2021 and a further charge of $6,265,686 for nine months ended September 30, 2022 against our non-marketable investment. Please refer to Note 5 for details.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets represent the licensing cost for the trademark registration. For intangible assets with indefinite lives, the Company evaluates intangible assets for impairment at least annually and more often whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Whenever any such impairment exists, an impairment loss will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value. For intangible assets with definite lives, they are amortized over estimated useful lives, and are reviewed annually for impairment. The Company has not recorded impairment of intangible assets as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Advance from customers

Advance from customers represent the cash deposited by the traders into a specific bank account under Takung (“the broker’s account”) in order to facilitate the trading ownership units of the NFT. The traders are required to have their funds transferred to the broker’s account before the trading take place.

Revenue Recognition

Under ASC 606, an entity recognizes revenue as the Company satisfies a performance obligation when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that an entity determines are within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price, including variable consideration, if any; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration to which it is entitled in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer.

The Company recognizes revenue when control of the promised services is transferred to the traders. Revenue is measured at the transaction price, which is based on the amount of consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring the promised services to the traders.

Our discontinued operations generated revenue from its services in connection with the offering and trading of artworks on the Company’s legacy online trading system primarily consisted of listing fee, commission fee and management fee.

Listing fee

The Company recognizes the listing fee revenue at a point in time when the ownership units of the artwork are listed and available for trading on the Company’s system, at an amount of an agreed percentage of the total offering price. The amount is collected from the money raised from the issuance of such units.

Commission

The Company generates commission fee from non-VIP traders and selected traders.

For non-VIP traders, the commission is calculated based on a percentage of transaction value of artworks when there is purchase and sale of the ownership shares of the artworks. The commission revenue is recognized at a point in time when each purchase and sale transaction is completed.

For selected traders, starting from April 1, 2016, the Company charged a predetermined monthly commission fee which allows the selected traders to conduct unlimited trades for specific artworks. The commission revenue is recognized on a monthly basis as the Company continuously satisfied its performance obligation.

Management fee

The Company provides custody and insurance service for artworks listed and traded on the Company’s platform. Management fee is calculated at a rate of $0.0013 (HK$0.01) per 100 artwork units per day. The management fee is recognized and is deducted from proceeds from the sale of artwork ownership shares when there is a purchase and sale transaction. A discount program is offered to waive the management fee during certain promotion periods. Such discounts are recognized as a reduction of the revenue.

Beginning in the fourth quarter 2021, we introduced consultancy service and setup NFT business through our subsidiaries, NFT Exchange and NFT Digital. In early May 2022, we launched a NFT trading platform at www.nftoeo.com. Through the new NFT platform, we introduced three main revenue categories: (i) Listing fee, (ii) Commission, and (iii) Management fee.

Cost of revenue

The Company’s cost of revenue primarily consists of expenses associated with the delivery of its service of our continued operations. These include expenses related to the operation of the data centers, such as facility and lease of the server equipment, development and maintenance of the platform system, as well as the cost of insurance, storage and transportation of the artworks. Cost of revenue also includes commission paid to service agent.

The Company has elected to apply the practical expedient in ASC 606-10 and does not disclose information about remaining performance obligations that have original expected durations of one year or less.

The contract liabilities are the Company’s obligation to transfer services to traders for which the Company has received consideration from the traders. All contract liabilities are expected to be recognized as revenue within one month and are presented in Advance from Customers in the Interim Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, Leases (ASC Topic 842), which amends the leases requirements in ASC Topic 840, Leases. Under the new lease accounting standard, a lessee will be required to recognize a right-of-use asset and lease liability for most leases on the balance sheet. The new standard also modifies the classification criteria and accounting for sales-type and direct financing leases, and enhances the disclosure requirements. Leases will continue to be classified as either finance or operating leases.

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. The lease payments under the lease arrangements are fixed. Non-lease components include payments for building management, utilities and property tax. It separates the non-lease components from the lease components to which they relate.

Lease assets and liabilities are recognized at the present value of the future lease payments at the lease commencement date. The interest rate used to determine the present value of the future lease payments is the Company’s incremental borrowing rate, because the interest rate implicit in the leases is not readily determinable. The incremental borrowing rate is estimated to approximate the interest rate on a collateralized basis with similar terms and payments, and in economic environments where the leased asset is located. The lease terms include periods under options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. The Company generally uses the base, non-cancellable, lease term when determining the lease assets and liabilities.

Income taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability approach which allows for the recognition and measurement of deferred tax assets based upon the likelihood of realization of tax benefits in future years. Under the asset and liability approach, deferred taxes are provided for the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize their benefits, or that future deductibility is uncertain.

Under ASC 740, a tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The evaluation of a tax position is a two-step process. The first step is to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of any related appeals or litigations based on the technical merits of that position. The second step is to measure a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not threshold to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the financial statements. A tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Tax positions that previously failed to meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold should be recognized in the first subsequent period in which the threshold is met. Previously recognized tax positions that no longer meet the more-likely-than-not criteria should be de-recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which the threshold is no longer met. Penalties and interest incurred related to underpayment of income tax are classified as income tax expense in the year incurred. GAAP also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosures and transition.

The Company accounts for an unrecognized tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. The Company considers and estimates interest and penalties related to the gross unrecognized tax benefits and includes as part of its income tax provision based on the applicable income tax regulations.

The Company did not accrue any liability, interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions in the provision for income taxes line of the interim condensed consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and as of December 31, 2021.

Earnings (loss) per share

Basic net income (loss) per share (EPS) is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period adjusted to include the effect of potentially dilutive securities. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation of dilutive EPS in periods in which the effect would be antidilutive.

Concentration of risks

Concentration of credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, account receivables. The carrying values of the financial instruments approximate their fair values due to their short-term maturities. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash with financial institutions with high-credit ratings and quality. Account receivables primarily comprise of amounts receivable from the trader customers. With respect to the prepayment to service suppliers, the Company performs on-going credit evaluations of the financial condition of these suppliers. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon estimates, factors surrounding the credit risk of specific service providers and other information.

Concentration of customers

There were no revenues from customers that individually represent greater than 10% of the total revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

Concentration of customer deposits

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were no traders that individually accounted for greater than 10% of the Company’s total customer deposits.

Accounting standards adopted on January 1, 2021

Income Taxes: On December 18, 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income taxes (Topic 740), Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. This guidance amends ASC Topic 740 and addresses several aspects including 1) evaluation of step-up tax basis of goodwill when there is not a business combination, 2) policy election to not allocate consolidated taxes on a separate entity basis to entities not subject to income tax, 3) accounting for tax law changes or rates during interim periods, 4) ownership changes from equity method investment to subsidiary or vice versa, 5) elimination of exception to intraperiod allocation when there is gain in discontinued operations and a loss from continuing operations, 6) treatment of franchise taxes that are partially based on income. The Company adopted ASU2019-12 effective January 1, 2021.

Accounting pronouncements issued but not yet adopted

Financial Instruments - Credit Losses: In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): The amendments in this Update require a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The amendments broaden the information that an entity must consider in developing its expected credit loss estimate for assets measured either collectively or individually. The use of forecasted information incorporates more timely information in the estimate of expected credit loss, which will be more decision useful to users of the financial statements. In November 2019, FASB issued ASU 2019-10, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842).” This ASU defers the effective date of ASU 2016-13 for public companies that are considered smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is planning to adopt this standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2023.The Company is currently evaluating the potential effects of adopting the provisions of ASU No. 2016-13 on its consolidated ~~results~~financial statements, particularly its recognition of allowances for accounts receivable.

The Company does not believe other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the consolidated financial position, statements of operations and cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, as applicable, have been made. The interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future periods. flows.

5. INVESTMENTS

We adopted ASU 2016-01 on January 1, 2018. This guidance requires us to measure all equity investments that are not accounted for under the equity method or result in consolidation at fair value and recognize any changes in net income. For equity investments with readily determinable and observable fair values, we use quoted market prices to determine the fair value of ~~China. Ms. Wang~~equity securities. For equity investments without readily determinable fair values, we have elected the measurement alternative under which we measure these investments at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer.

Equity investments with readily determinable fair values that are not accounted for under the equity method classified as trading are not assessed for impairment, since they are carried at fair value with the change in fair value included in net income. Similarly, prior to the adoption of ASU 2016-01, equity investment classified as trading was not tested for impairment.

Equity investments without readily determinable fair values are reviewed each reporting period to determine whether a significant event or change in circumstances has occurred that may have an adverse effect on the fair value of each investment. When such events or changes occur, we assess the fair value compared to our cost basis in the investment. We also perform this assessment every reporting period for each investment for which our cost basis has exceeded the fair value.

For investments in privately-held companies, management’s assessment of fair value is based on valuation methodologies such as discounted cash flows, estimates of revenue and appraisals, as applicable. We consider and apply the assumptions that we believe market participants would use in evaluating estimated future cash flows when utilizing the discounted cash flow or estimates of revenue valuation methodologies. In the event the fair value of an investment declines below our cost basis, management determines if the decline in fair value is other than temporary and records an impairment accordingly.

As of December 31, 2021, our investment merely includes a ~~shareholder~~non-marketable investment in a privately held company incorporated in British Virgin Islands without readily determinable market values. We elected the measurement alternative under which we measured the investment at cost minus impairment with an adjustment to the changes from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the similar investments of the same issuer.

Management considered market conditions as the result of the global pandemic and other global macroeconomic conditions and the ~~legal representative~~potential impact on the value of ~~Chongqing. Both Chongqing~~the Company’s investment; accordingly, management conducted a review of each of its investments. After its review management determined that the future undiscounted cash flows were less than the carrying cost of our non-marketable investment and ~~Ms. Wang are~~recognized an impairment charge, $7,599,192 against our non-marketable investment. Management estimated future revenues and costs, and the ~~non-related parties~~related cash flows regarding this investment, as well as applying assumptions regarding the proper inputs into the weighted average cost of capital which included the consideration of comparable market participants and the Company’s own capital structure in developing a discounted flow model to determine an update carrying value for the ~~Company.~~private-held investment.

The carrying value is measured as the total initial cost minus impairment. The carrying value for our non-marketable investment is summarized below:

	September 30,			December 31,
	2022			2021
	(Unaudited)
Total initial cost	$	10,630,120		$	10,630,120

We recorded an unrealized loss in connection with the non-marketable investment, a further impairment loss of $6,265,686 was recognized for nine months ended September 30, 2022.

~~In the meantime,~~

6. ASSET IMPAIRMENTS

Hong Kong ~~company (“Merit Crown) with interest accruing at a rate~~Takung considered the receivables from Tianjin Takung to be uncollectible and wrote off its investment in Tianjin Takung. These charges have been included in the net loss from discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2021. As of ~~8% per annum (See Note 8). Merit Crown is a non-related party to~~ the ~~Company.~~

~~8. SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS FROM THIRD PARTIES~~9. RELATED PARTY BALANCES AND TRANSACTIONS

On May 29, 2021, our discontinued operation, Hong Kong Takung, entered into an interest-free loan agreement (the “HK Dollar Working Capital Loan”) with Sze Chan (“Chan”), Vice President of Hong Kong Takung, for the loan of $6,371,699 (HK$50,000,000) to Hong Kong Takung. The ~~following table sets forth a summary~~purpose of the loan ~~agreements in loan receivables balance:~~

~~The US Dollar Loans are~~is to provide Hong Kong Takung with sufficient USHong Kong Dollar-denominated currency to meet its working capital ~~requirements. It is “secured” by the aforementioned RMB Loans (See Note 5) of equivalent amount by its subsidiary to an individual and guarantor affiliated~~requirements with ~~the lender of the US Dollar Loans. It is the understanding between the parties that when the US Dollar Loans are repaid, the RMB Loans will similarly be repaid.~~

The weighted average interest rate of outstanding short-term borrowings was 8% per annum as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. The fair values of the short-term borrowings approximate their carrying amounts. The weighted average short-term borrowing was $6,419,099 and $1,678,803 for the nine months period ended September 30, 2017 and year ended December 31, 2016, respectively. The interest expenses for the short-term borrowings were $133,174 and $62,670 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively and $394,295 and $62,670 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

On October 30, 2017, Hong Kong Takung entered into agreements with both Merit Crown Limited and Ms. Wang to extend the US Dollar Loan and RMB Loan (see Note 5) with the original maturity date on October 31, 2017, to October 31, 2018.

~~The following is a list of related parties to which the Company has transactions with:~~

~~(a) Jianping Mao (“Mao”), the wife of the Vice General Manager of Hong Kong Takung.~~

~~Amount due to related party consisted of the following as of the periods indicated:~~

The interest rate of the outstanding short-term loan from Mao was 8% per annum as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. The interest expense was $61,283 and $19,941 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $20,652 and $19,941 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

On October 26, 2017, Hong Kong Takung entered into a supplementary agreement with Mao that, as of 30 September 2017, the outstanding principal amount of the Loan (as defined in the Loan Agreement) to be repaid by Hong Kong Takung to Mao is HK$~~8,000,000 (Hong Kong Dollars Eight Million) (“~~~~Outstanding Principal Loan Amount~~~~”), and the accrued interest of the Outstanding Principal Loan Amount is HK$478,685 (“~~~~Accrued Interest~~~~”). Mao hereby agreed to extend~~ the maturity date of the ~~Outstanding Principal Loan Amount and the interest thereof by~~loan as May 15, 2022.

In April 2022 Chan assigned loan receivables in Hong Kong Takung to Jin Wang, one of the members of management team and it was still outstanding as ~~below: (i) HK$4,500,000 and~~at September 30, 2022.

The ending balance of the ~~interest thereof, together with the Accrued Interest~~amount due to ~~be due and payable by November 30, 2017; and (ii) HK$3,500,000 together with the interest thereof to be due and payable by December 31, 2017.~~a related party as of respective period is indicated as follows:

Takung, NFT Exchange and NFT Digital were incorporated in the State of Delaware, Wyoming and New York, respectively; therefore, are subject to United States income tax. Metaverse Payment, Hong Kong Takung and Hong Kong MQ were incorporated in Hong Kong S.A.R. and are subject to Hong Kong profits tax. Tianjin Takung was incorporated in the PRC and is subject to the Enterprise Tax.

~~As of September 30, 2017~~Takung, NFT Exchange and ~~December 31, 2016,~~NFT Digital are subject to the ~~Company in the United States had $4,008,459~~U.S. federal and ~~$2,212,890 in net operating loss carried forward available to offset future taxable~~state corporate income ~~respectively. Federal net operating losses can generally be carried forward twenty years.~~taxes. The federal corporate ~~net operating loss carryover~~income tax rate is ~~expired~~21%. Corporate entities are required to file state income taxes in ~~20 taxable years following~~accordance with the ~~taxable year of the loss.~~applicable state corporate income regulations.

The Company believes that it is more likely than not that these net accumulated operating losses will not be utilized in the future. Therefore, the Company has provided a full valuation allowance for the deferred tax assets arising from the losses at the U.S. during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and year ended December 31, 2016 amounting to $1,414,445 and $962,012, respectively. Accordingly, the Company has no net deferred tax assets under the US entity.

The two-tier profits tax rates system was introduced under the Inland Revenue (Amendment)(No.3) Ordinance 2018 (“the Ordinance”) of Hong Kong became effective for the assessment year 2018/2019. Under the two-tier profit tax rates regime, the profits tax rate for the first HKD 2 million (approximately $257,311) of assessable profits of a corporation will be subject to the lowered tax rate, 8.25% while the remaining assessable profits will be subject to the legacy tax rate, 16.5%. The Ordinance only allows one entity within a group of “connected entities” is eligible for the two-tier tax rate benefit. An entity is a connected entity of another entity if (1) one of them has control over the other; (2) both of them are under the control (more than 50% of the issued share capital) of the same entity; (3) in the case of the first entity being a natural person carrying on a sole proprietorship business-the other entity is the same person carrying on another sole proprietorship business. Since Hong Kong Takung, Takung Art Holdings and Hong Kong MQ are wholly owned and under the control of Takung U.S, these entities are connected entities. Under the Ordinance, it is an entity’s election to nominate the entity that will be subject to the two-tier profits tax rates on its profits tax return. The election is irrevocable. The Company elected Hong Kong Takung to be subject to the two-tier profits tax rates.

The provision for current income and deferred taxes of ~~the subsidiary operating in~~ Hong Kong Takung has been calculated by applying the ~~current~~new tax rate of ~~taxation~~8.25%. Hong Kong MQ still apply the original tax rate of 16.5% for ~~the nine months ended September 30, 2017~~its provision for current income and ~~2016, if applicable.~~deferred taxes.

In accordance with the relevant tax laws and regulations of the PRC, a company registered in the PRC is subject to income taxes within the PRC at the applicable tax rate on taxable income. All the PRC subsidiaries were subject to income tax at a rate of 25%.

A reconciliation between the Company’s actual provision for income taxes and the provision at the Hong Kong statutory rate is as ~~follow:~~follows:

The ~~Company's effective~~reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of liabilities associated with uncertain tax ~~rate~~positions is as follows:

The Company files tax returns as prescribed by the tax laws of the jurisdictions in which it operates. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by the respective jurisdictions, where applicable. The statute of limitations for the tax returns varies by jurisdictions.

The amounts of uncertain tax liabilities listed above are based on the recognition and measurement criteria of ASC Topic 740, and the balance is presented as current liability in the consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The Company anticipated that the settlements with the taxing authority are remitted within one year.

Our policy is to include interest and penalty charges related to uncertain tax liabilities as necessary in the provision for income taxes. The Company has a liability for accrued interest of $nil as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Our discontinued operation, Hong Kong Takung, was ~~82.2%~~selected for routine examination for its tax years ended December 31, 2016 through 2018 by Hong Kong Inland Revenue Department (“IRD”) during the fiscal year ended 2020. The examination had been concluded in May 2021 and ~~19.6%~~the ultimate resolution of the tax examination concurred with the uncertain tax liabilities previously accrued. Hong Kong Takung settled the entire tax liabilities in September 2021. The Company does not expect the position of uncertain tax liabilities will significantly fluctuate within the next twelve months.

The statute of limitations for the Internal Revenue Services to assess the income tax returns on a taxpayer expires three years from the due date of the profits tax return or the date on which it was filed, whichever is later.

In accordance with the Hong Kong profits tax regulations, a tax assessment by the IRD may be initiated within six years after the relevant year of assessment, but extendable to 10 years in the case of potential willful underpayment or evasion.

In accordance with PRC Tax Administration Law on the Levying and Collection of Taxes, the PRC tax authorities generally have up to five years to assess underpaid tax plus penalties and interest for PRC entities’ tax filings. In the case of tax evasion, which is not clearly defined in the law, there is no limitation on the tax years open for investigation. Accordingly, the PRC entities remain subject to examination by the tax authorities based on the above.

The Company has operating leases for its office facilities and artwork storages. The Company’s leases have remaining terms of less than one year to approximately four years. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; the Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company does not separate non-lease components from the lease components to which they relate, and instead accounts for each separate lease and non-lease component associated with that lease component as a single lease component for all underlying asset classes.

The following table provides a summary of leases by balance sheet location as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 respectively:

~~Basic earnings~~diluted net earnings/(loss) per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period.as follows:

Diluted earnings per share takes into account the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised and converted into common stock.

~~For the three months ended~~As of September 30, ~~2017,~~2022 and December 31, 2021, there were no outstanding stock options, but there were warrants attached to PIPE executed on April 14, 2022 and July 27, 2022 securities that would potentially be converted to additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential shares of common stock had been issued were excluded from the calculation of diluted ~~earnings~~net loss per share.

Digital artwork based on NFT technology is becoming a hot asset. The earliest NFT projects can be traced back to the 2017 bull market CryptoKitties (the encrypted cats), which had the properties of scarcity and value anchoring of ownership. At its peak, a virtual cat could sell for more than $100,000. In terms of NFT artwork, in March 2021, artist Beeple’s NFT work “Every Day: The First 5,000 Days” sold for $69.346 million, making it the third-highest price for a living artist. According to a report by Invezz, the NFT market was worth $338 million in 2020, and it has grown to reach $490 million in 2021. With the help of the bull market wave, NFT has grown rapidly., As of the first quarter of 2021, the total transaction volume of the NFT market has exceeded 1.5 billion US dollars, an increase of more than 2627% from the previous quarter. In April 2021, the total market value of NFTs exceeded $30 billion for the first time, setting a new all-time high. Currently, NFTs can be used in the fields including games, artworks, domain names, insurance, collectibles, virtual assets, real assets, identities, etc. With the vigorous development of the digital world, many businesses will appear in the form of digital original ecology, and the huge application space and technological imagination of NFT are expected to become more and more attractive in the new digital economy world.

Users are able to complete the whole business process including user registration, certification, work uploading, work casting, and work trading through the platform. The platform was launched and placed in service in May 2022. In the transaction process, it not only meets the needs of customers for uploading and purchasing digital works, but the company also extracts a portion of the handling fee (including token minting, first sale, and second sale) to create value.

Once the TKAT platform has accumulated a larger user base, it can provide advertising and publicity services for users or the company itself. The business model is not limited to categories and industries, such as investment promotion, work promotion, and industry promotion.

Rarible’s minting fees are borne by the creators themselves, and the royalties are also set by the creators themselves, with default amounts of 10%, 20% and 30%. 2. VIV3’s NFT minting costs and profits come from the 12.5% service fee it collects on the first and second sales. 3. OpenSea does not need gas fee to mint NFT. 4. Rarible charges a 2.5% service fee on the first sale. On the SuperRare platform, a 15% commission is charged on the first sale and a 3% fee (paid by the buyer) is charged on the second sale.

The commission is typically ~~0.3%~~5% of the total amount of each transaction, but as an initial promotion, we currently charge a reduced fee of 0.2% (resulting in an aggregate of 0.4% for both buy and sell transactions) of the total transaction amount with the minimum charge of $0.13 (HK$1).transaction. The commission is accounted for as revenue and immediately deducted from the proceeds from the sales of artwork units when a transaction is completed.

For selected VIP Traders, we ran a discount program for them starting from April 1, 2015, when their trading volumes of the certain artworks reached an agreed level in each month, a contractually determined flat rate of trading commission was applied to the transactions of these certain artworks. Any trading commission charges incurred by the VIP Traders over the flat rate would be waived. The discounted rate varied between selected artworks. This discount program ended on March 31, 2016.

For selected Traders, starting from April 1, 2016, we charged a predetermined monthly fee (unlimited trades for specific artworks) for specific artworks. These Traders are selected by authorized agents and reviewed by us. After review, we negotiate individually with each one of them to determine a fixed monthly fee. Different Traders may have different rates but once negotiated and agreed to, the monthly fee is fixed.

The Company is aware of events or uncertainties which may affect its future liquidity because of capital controls in the PRC. The ~~Renminbi~~RMB is only currently convertible under the “current ~~account”,~~account,” which includes dividends, trade and service-related foreign exchange transactions, but not under the “capital ~~account”,~~account,” which includes foreign direct investment and loans, including loans we may secure from our onshore subsidiaries or variable interest entities. Currently, our PRC subsidiaries, which are wholly-foreign owned enterprises, may purchase foreign currency for settlement of “current account ~~transactions”,~~transactions,” including payment of dividends to us, without the approval of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”) by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, the relevant PRC governmental authorities may limit or eliminate our ability to purchase foreign currencies in the future for current account transactions. The existing and future restrictions on currency exchange may limit our ability to utilize revenue generated in Renminbi to fund our business activities outside of the PRC or pay dividends in foreign currencies to our ~~stockholders,~~shareholders, including holders of our shares of common stock. Foreign exchange transactions under the capital account remain subject to limitations and require approvals from, or registration with, SAFE and other relevant PRC governmental authorities. This could affect our ability to obtain foreign currency through debt or equity financing for our PRC subsidiaries.

Applicable PRC law permits payment of dividends to us by our operating subsidiaries in China only out of their net income, if any, determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. Our operating subsidiaries in China are also required to set aside a portion of their net income, if any, each year to fund general reserves for appropriations until such reserves have reached 50% of the ~~subsidiary's~~subsidiary’s registered capital. These reserves are not distributable as cash dividends. In addition, registered share capital and capital reserve accounts are also restricted from withdrawal in the PRC, up to the amount of net assets held in each operating subsidiary. In contrast, there is no foreign exchange control or restrictions on capital flows into and out of Hong Kong. Hence, our Hong Kong operating subsidiary is able to transfer cash without any limitation to the U.S. under normal circumstances.

If our operating subsidiaries were to incur additional debt on their own behalf in the future, the instruments governing the debt may restrict the ability of our operating subsidiaries to transfer cash to our U.S. investors.

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements, including arrangements that would affect our liquidity, capital resources, market risk support, and credit risk support or other benefits.

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), under the supervision of and with the participation of our management, which presently comprises our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. ~~Di Xiao~~Kwok Leung Paul Li, Co-Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Kuangtao Wang and our Chief Financial Officer, Mr. ~~Chun Hin Leslie Chow.~~Jianguang Qian. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Co-Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, ~~2017~~2022 were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Co-Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our fiscal quarter ended September 30, ~~2017~~2022 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

~~Item 1. Legal Proceedings.~~Due to the increased regulatory scrutiny by PRC government on digital asset related businesses, the artwork unit trading platform operated by the PRC subsidiary, Tianjin Takung, was suspended by the local authority. The management became aware of the suspension on or around November 8, 2021. The local authority indicated that the suspension was to facilitate certain investigation although it did not announce the purpose of the investigation. The Company intends to fully cooperate with the local authority’s investigation. As of the date of this report, there has been no development in regard with this investigation.

~~Item 1A. Risk Factors~~As of the date of this report and except as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 15, 2022.

~~Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.~~None.
