SUNWIN STEVIA INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
OCTOBER 31, 2021
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Sunwin Stevia International, Inc. ("Sunwin Stevia International"), a Nevada corporation, and its subsidiaries are referred to in this report as "we", "us", "our", "Sunwin" or the "Company".
We sell stevioside, a natural sweetener, and other pharmaceutical productions, such as Metformin. Substantially all of our operations are located in the People's Republic of China (the "PRC"). We have built an integrated company with the sourcing and production capabilities designed to meet the needs of our customers. Our operations are organized into two operating segments related to our product lines:
- | Stevioside; and | ||
- | Corporate and other. |
For the ninesix months ended JanuaryOctober 31, 2021 and fiscal year 2020,2022, our subsidiaries included in continuing operations and discontinued operations consisted of the following:
- Sunwin Stevia International;
- Qufu Natural Green Engineering Co., Ltd. ("Qufu Natural Green"), wholly owned by Sunwin Stevia International;
- Qufu Shengren Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. ("Qufu Shengren"), 100%61% owned by Qufu Natural Green. On April 30, 2020, the Company increased the total amount of capital of Qufu Shengren through a series of debt transfer and conversion agreements with investors, ownership of Qufu Natural Green became 61%; (see Note 12)
- Qufu Shengwang Stevia Biology and Science Co., Ltd.Sunwin USA, LLC ("Qufu Shengwang"Sunwin USA"), 100%wholly owned by Qufu Natural Green. On July 30, 2019, Qufu Natural Green sold its 100% interest of Qufu Shengwang to a third party;Sunwin Stevia International; and
- Qufu Shengren Import and Export Co., Ltd. (“Qufu Shengren Import and Export”), wholly owned subsidiary of Qufu Shengren.
QufuShengren
In fiscal 2009, Qufu Natural Green acquired Qufu Shengren for $3,097,242. The purchase price was equal to the value of the assets of Qufu Shengren as determined by an independent asset appraisal in accordance with asset appraisal principles in the PRC. Prior to being acquired by us, Qufu Shengren was engaged in the production and distribution of bulk drugs and pharmaceuticals. Subsequent to the acquisition, Qufu Shengren produces and distributes steviosides with a full range of grades from rebaudioside-A 10 to 99.
Since fiscal 2018 we invested in a new production line for Metformin as one of the new product markets we intend to branch into. Metformin is the raw material of Metformin hydrochloride tablets. Metformin is the first-line medication for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, particularly in people who are not satisfied with simple diet control, especially those with obesity and hyperinsulinemia. On July 10, 2019, our wholly owned subsidiary Qufu Shengrenthe Company entered into a management agreementthe Metformin Production Line Operation Management Agreement with Ru Yuan, an unaffiliated individual (the "Contractor"), to contract out the operation ofoperate the Metformin production line.
QufuShengren from the original RMB 19,680,000 (approximately $2,800,000) to RMB 183,000,000 (approximately $26,000,000); this will allow the Company to better focus on our Stevia operation and increase investment in our research and production.
On October 9, 2019, Qufu Shengren invested RMB2,000,000 (approximately $288,000) in a new entity, Qufu Shengren Import and Export Co., Ltd., (“Qufu Shengren Import and Export”), a Chinese limited liability company, a 100% owned subsidiary of Qufu Shengren. Qufu Shengren Import and Export focuses on the export of our Stevia products, and the import and export of technology and other relevant products; we expect to increase operations in this subsidiary in the near future.
Sunwin USA
In fiscal year 2009, we entered into a distribution agreement with WILD Flavors to assist our 55% owned subsidiary, Sunwin USA, in the marketing and worldwide distribution of our stevioside-based sweetener products and issued WILD Flavors a 45% interest in Sunwin USA. In August 2012, the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement with WILD Flavors pursuant to which it purchased its 45% membership interest in Sunwin USA for an aggregate consideration of $1,625,874, which includes the issuance of 7,666,666 shares of our common stock valued at $1,533,333 and a cash payment of $92,541. The purchase included the product development and supply chain for OnlySweet.

USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated 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 the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include the allowance for doubtful accounts, the allowance for obsolete inventory, the useful life of property and equipment and intangible assets, assumptions used in assessing impairment of long-term assets and valuation of deferred tax assets, and the value of stock-based compensation. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
We consider all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash and equivalents. As of JanuaryOctober 31, 2021, we held $161,843$517,262 of our cash and cash equivalents with commercial banking institutions in the PRC, and $63,628$181,373 with banks in the United States. As of April 30, 2020,2021, we held $1,054,090$1,403,969 of our cash and cash equivalents with commercial banking institution in PRC, and $83,830$161,860 in the United States. PRC banks protect consumers against loss if their bank or thrift institution fails, and each of our PRC bank account is insured up to RMB500,000 (approximately $75,000), As a result, cash held in PRC financial institutions of $50,087 and $946,274 is not insured as of January 31, 2021 and April 30, 2020, respectively. We have not experienced any losses in such bank accounts through January 31, 2021.
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
Accounts receivable and other receivable are reported at net realizable value. We have established an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors pertaining to the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends, and other information. Delinquent accounts are written off when it is determined that the amounts are uncollectible after exhaustive efforts on collection. AsWe had none of Januaryallowance for doubtful accounts as of October 31, 2021 and April 30, 2020, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $81,840 and $74,665, respectively.
- 6 -
INVENTORIES
Inventories, consisting of raw materials, work in process, and finished goods related to our products, are stated at the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value that can be estimated utilizing the weighted moving average method. A reserve is established when management determines that certain slow-moving inventories may be sold at below book value. These reserves are recorded based on estimates. As of JanuaryOctober 31, 2021, the Company did not record a reserve for slow-moving inventories. If inventory costs exceed expected market value due to obsolescence or quantities in excess of expected demand, the Company will record a write down of inventories for the difference between the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value. As of JanuaryOctober 31, 2021 and April 30, 2020,2021, the Company wrote down inventories of $664,772$653,505 and $113,155,$1,276,893, respectively.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are provided using the straight line method over the estimated economic lives of the assets, which range from two to thirty years. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. In accordance with paragraph 360-10-35-17 of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC"), we examine the possibility of decreases in the value of fixed assets when events or changes in circumstances reflect the fact that their recorded value may not be recoverable.
The residual value rate and useful life of property and equipment are summarized as follows:
Property and Equipment | Residual value | Useful life |
Office equipment | 10% or 5% or 0% | 3-15 years |
Auto and trucks | 10% or 5% or 0% | 2-10 Years |
Manufacturing equipment | 10% or 5% or 0% | 2-15 Years |
Buildings | 10% or 5% or 0% | 5-30 Years |
Included in property and equipment is construction-in-progress which consisted of factory improvements and machinery pending installation and included the costs of construction, machinery and equipment, and or any interest charges arising from borrowings used to finance these assets during the period of construction or installation of the assets if applicable. No provision for depreciation is made on construction-in-progress until such time as the relevant assets are completed and ready for their intended use.
LONG-LIVED ASSETS
In accordance with ASC 360, we review and evaluate our long-lived assets, including property and equipment intangible assets, and land use rights, for impairment or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. An impairment is considered to exist if the total estimated future cash flows on an undiscounted basis are less than the carrying amount of the assets, including goodwill, if any. An impairment loss is measured and recorded based on discounted estimated future cash flows. In estimating future cash flows, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there is identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of future cash flows from other asset groups. Our estimates of future cash flows are based on numerous assumptions and it is possible that actual future cash flows will be significantly different than the estimates. Based on our evaluation, we have determined certain long-lived assets that are no longer useful for our operations, and we recorded a loss on disposition of property and equipment of $0$386,687 and $19,842 at January$nil on October 31, 2021 and April 30, 2020,2021, respectively.
LAND USE RIGHTS
According to the law of PRC, the government owns all the land in the PRC. Companies or individuals are authorized to possess and use the land only through land use rights granted by the Chinese government for a specified period of time. Land use rights are being amortized using the straight-line method over the periods the rights are granted.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
We adopted ASC Section 820-10-35-37 to measure the fair value of our financial instruments. ASC Section 820-10-35-37 establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to existing generally accepted accounting principles that require the use of fair value measurements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements. The adoption of ASC Section 820-10-35-37 did not have an impact on our financial position or operating results, but did expand certain disclosures.
- 6 -
ASC Section 820-10-35-37 defines fair value 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. Additionally, ASC Section 820-10-35-37 requires the use of valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized below:
Level 1: | Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities |
Level 2: | Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data |
Level 3: | Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the use of the reporting entity's own assumptions. |
The carrying amounts of our financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, accounts receivable, notes receivable, prepayments and other current assets, accounts payable, taxes payable and accrued expenses, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.
TAXES PAYABLE
We are required to charge for and to collect value added taxes (VAT) on our sales on behalf of the PRC tax authority. We record VAT that we billed our customers as VAT payable. In addition, we are required to pay value added taxes on our primary purchases. We record VAT that is charged by our vendors as VAT receivable. We are required to file VAT return on a monthly basis with the PRC tax authority, in which we are entitled to claim the VAT that we are charged by vendors as VAT credit and these credits can be applied to our VAT payable that we billed our customers. Accordingly, these VAT payable and receivable are presented as net amounts for financial statement purposes. Taxes payable as of JanuaryOctober 31, 2021 and April 30, 20202021 amounted to $437,757$343,227 and $266,708,$330,738, respectively, consisted primarily of VAT taxes.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Pursuant to the guidance of ASC 606, we record revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, product delivery has occurred, the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
In accordance with ASC 606, we recognize revenues from the sale of stevia and other productions upon shipment and transfer of title based on the trade terms. All product sales with customer specific acceptance provisions are recognized upon customer acceptance and the delivery of the products. We report revenues net of applicable sales taxes and related surcharges.The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:
• | Identify the contract with a customer; | ||
• | Identify the performance obligations in the contract; | ||
• | Determine the transaction price; | ||
• | Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and | ||
• | Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. |
The Company is also a lessor, which is an entity that leases anis lease underlying asset to athe third party, The Company’s lease revenue is recognized under ASC Topic 842, Leases, (“ASC 842”), which was adopted on May 1, 2019. In general, the Company commences rental revenue recognition when the tenant takes possession of the leased space and the leased space is substantially ready for its intended use. The Company’s lease has been accounted for as operating lease. Rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the lease of five years. Actual amounts billed in accordance with the lease during any given period may have been higher or lower than the amount of rental revenue recognized for the period. The difference by which straight-line rental revenue exceeded rents billed in accordance with lease agreements is recorded as “accounts receivable”. The difference by which rents billed in accordance with lease agreements exceeded straight-line rental revenue is recorded as “advances from customer”. The Company does not offset lease income and lease expense.
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
A related party is generally defined as (i) any person and or their immediate family hold 10% or more of the company’s securities (ii) the Company’s management, (iii) someone that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the Company, or (iv) anyone who can significantly influence the financial and operating decisions of the Company. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties. The Company conducts business with its related parties in the ordinary course of business. Related parties may be individuals or corporate entities.

Transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm’s-length basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, free market dealings may not exist. Representations about transactions with related parties, if made, shall not imply that the related party transactions were consummated on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm’s-length transactions unless such representations can be substantiated. It is not, however, practical to determine the fair value of amounts due from/to related parties due to their related party nature.
RECLASSIFICATION
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on the net earnings and financial position.
GRANT INCOME
Grants received from PRC government agencies are recognized as deferred grant income and recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss as and when they are earned for the specific research and development projects for which these grants are designated for.
INCOME TAXES
The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 740-10, Income Taxes ("ASC 740-10") which requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statement or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce the deferred tax assets to an amount that it is more likely than not be realized.
We file federal and state income tax returns in the United States for our corporate operations pursuant to the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and file separate foreign tax returns for our Chinese subsidiaries pursuant to the China's Unified Corporate Income Tax Law.
We apply the provisions of ASC 740-10-50, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes", which provides clarification related to the process associated with accounting for uncertain tax positions recognized in our consolidated financial statements. Audit periods remain open for review until the statute of limitations has passed. The completion of review or the expiration of the statute of limitations for a given audit period could result in an adjustment to the Company's liability for income taxes. Any such adjustment could be material to the Company's results of operations for any given quarterly or annual period based, in part, upon the results of operations for the given period. As of JanuaryOctober 31, 2021, the Company had no uncertain tax positions, and will continue to evaluate for uncertain positions in the future.
BASIC AND DILUTED EARNINGS PER SHARE
Pursuant to ASC Section 260-10-45, basic loss per common share is computed by dividing loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the periods presented. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that would then share in the income of ours, subject to anti-dilution limitations. The following table presents a reconciliation of basic and diluted net incomeloss per common share:

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
Transactions and balances originally denominated in U.S. dollars are presented at their original amounts. Transactions and balances in other currencies are converted into U.S. dollars in accordance with ASC Section 830-20-35 and are included in determining net income or loss.
The reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12 - Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. This ASU provides an exception to the general methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period when a year-to-date loss exceeds the anticipated loss for the year. This update also (1) requires an entity to recognize a franchise tax (or similar tax) that is partially based on income as an income-based tax and account for any incremental amount incurred as a non-income-based tax, (2) requires an entity to evaluate when a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill should be considered part of the business combination in which goodwill was originally recognized for accounting purposes and when it should be considered a separate transaction, and (3) requires that an entity reflect the effect of an enacted change in tax laws or rates in the annual effective tax rate computation in the interim period that includes the enactment date. The standard is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption on its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”), which requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost. ASU 2016-13 replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected loss methodology, which will result in more timely recognition of credit losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019, excluding entities eligible to be smaller reporting company. For all other entities, the requirements are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. ASU 2016-13 has been amended by ASU 2019-04, ASU 2019-05, and ASU 2019-11. For entities that have not yet adopted ASU No. 2016-13, the effective dates and transition methodology for ASU 2019-04, ASU 2019-05, and ASU 2019-11 are the same as the effective dates and transition methodology in ASU 2016-13. The Company did not adopt this standard yet due to the status of smaller reporting company. We plan to adopt this standard for the year beginning May 1, 2023. We do not expect the adoption of this standard will have material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
A variety of proposed or otherwise potential accounting standards are currently under study by standard setting organizations and various regulatory agencies. Due to the tentative and preliminary nature of those proposed standards, we have not determined whether implementation of such proposed standards would be material to our consolidated financial statements.

GOING CONCERN
Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred recurring losses with a net loss of approximately $3,475,000$1,893,000 and $2,643,000 for the ninethree and six months ended JanuaryOctober 31, 2021 and has a significant accumulated deficit of $42.3$45.0 million as of JanuaryOctober 31, 2021. The Company's cash balance and revenues generated are not currently sufficient and cannot be projected to cover operating expenses for the next twelve months from the date of this report. These factors raise doubt as to the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. Management's plans include attempting to improve its business profitability, its ability to generate sufficient cash flow from its operations to meet its operating needs on a timely basis, obtain additional working capital funds through debt and equity financings, and restructure on-going operations to eliminate inefficiencies to raise cash balance in order to meet its anticipated cash requirements for the next twelve months from the date of this report. Management intends to make every effort to identify and develop sources of funds. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time. There can be no assurance that any additional financings will be available to the Company on satisfactory terms and conditions, if at all.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to achieve profitable operations and raise additional capital. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability or classification of asset-carrying amount or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

(iii) Credit Risk
Financial instruments which potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and trade accounts receivable. We place our cash with high credit quality financial institutions in the United States and the PRC. As of JanuaryOctober 31, 2021 and April 30, 2020,2021, we had $161,843$517,262 and $1,054,090$1,403,969 of cash balance held in PRC banks, respectively. PRC banks protect consumers against loss if their bank or thrift institution fails, and each of our PRC bank accountsaccount is insured up to RMB500,000 (approximately $75,000)$71,000). As a result, cash held in PRC financial institutions of $50,087$394,268 and $946,274$1,224,263 are not insured as of JanuaryOctober 31, 2021 and April 30, 2020.2021. We have not experienced any losses in such accounts through JanuaryOctober 31, 2021. Our cash position by geographic area was as follows:
Country: | January 31, 2021 | April 30, 2020 | ||||||||||||||
United States | $ | 63,628 | 28.2 | % | $ | 83,830 | 7.4 | % | ||||||||

Total cash and cash equivalents | $ | 225,471 | 100.00 | % | $ | 1,137,920 | 100.00 | % |
Country: | October 31, 2021 | April 30, 2021 | ||
United States | $181,373 | 26.0% | $161,860 | 10.3% |

Total cash and cash equivalents | $698,635 | 100.00% | $1,565,829 | 100.00% |
Almost all of our sales are credit sales which are primarily to customers whose ability to pay is dependent upon the industry economics prevailing in these areas; however, we believe that the concentration of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable is limited due to generally short payment terms. We also perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers to help further reduce potential credit risk.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the information contained in the preceding unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes and our 20202021 Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year ended April 30, 2020.
OVERVIEW
We sell stevioside, a natural sweetener. Stevioside is a natural zero calorie sweetener extracted from the leaf of the stevia plants. Substantially all of our operations are located in the PRC. We have built an integrated company with the production and distribution capabilities designed to meet the needs of our customers.
Our operations were organized in two operating segments related to our product lines:
- | Stevioside, and | ||
- | Corporate and other. |
Going Concern
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has a significant accumulated deficit and incurred recurring losses. The Company's cash balance and revenues generated are not currently sufficient and cannot be projected to cover operating expenses for the next twelve months from the date of this report. These factors raise doubt as to the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. Management's plans include attempting to improve its business profitability, its ability to generate sufficient cash flow from its operations to meet its operating needs on a timely basis, obtain additional working capital funds through debt and equity financings, and restructure on-going operations to eliminate inefficiencies to raise cash balance in order to meet its anticipated cash requirements for the next twelve months from the date of this report. Management intends to make every effort to improve its current sales forecast to further develop and expand the international markets for its new products as well as continuing with the current sources of funds to meet working capitals needs on as needed basis. There can be no assurance that these plans and arrangements will be successful.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to achieve profitable operations and raise additional capital. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability or classification of asset-carrying amount or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
The increase of capital will come from additional funding of RMB 92,470,000 (approximately $13,100,000) from Qufu Natural Green, and RMB 70,850,000 (approximately $10,000,000) debt to equity conversion of multiple creditors. On April 30, 2020, seven individual creditors and three suppliers, an individual investor and Qufu Shengren entered into a series of debt transfer and conversion agreements, the individual creditors and suppliers agreed to transfer the full amount of their receivable, including principal and interest due from Qufu Shengren, at full value, to the individual investor. The individual investor then converted the full amount of the debts into equity and transferred a part of that equity to Shangdong Yulong Mining Group Co., Ltd. ("Yulong"). The individual investor and Yulong became minority shareholders of Qufu Shengren as of April 30, 2020, accounting for 38.4% and 0.3%, respectively.
Consequently, the COVID-19 pandemic may adversely affect the Company’s business operations, financial condition and operating results for 2020,2021, including but not limited to material negative impact to the Company’s total revenues, production capability, ability to conduct marketing and sales, and slower collection of accounts receivables. AsWe believe the effect of January 2021, we have been able to resume some ofthe COVID-19 pandemic will be most significant in our manufacturing operations, however,raw material purchasing and our sales and promotional efforts as still severely impacted by the global pandemic. We are able to maintain certain income from previous existing orders and finished products, however, we anticipate significant economic impact related to COVID-19.sales. Due to the high uncertaintyeffect of the evolving situation, the Company has limited foresight on the full impact brought upon by theglobal COVID-19 pandemic, we expect the sourcing and the related financial impact cannot be estimated at this time.
We are monitoring the global outbreak and spread of COVID-19 and taking steps in an effort to identify and mitigate the adverse impacts on, and risks to, our business (including but not limited to our employees, customers, and other business partners) posed by its spread and the governmental and community reactions thereto. We continue to assess and update our business continuity plansexperienced difficulty in the contextdelivery of this pandemic, including taking stepsour products, the ability to ship through ground transportation was very limited, if any, across provinces in an effort to help keep our workforces healthyChina and safe. The spread of COVID-19 hasin air shipments internationally was also very limited, if any, this caused us to modifybe unable to timely deliver our business practices (including warehouseproducts even if sales were made. In 2020 and 2021, China slowly resumed normal, however, as the global situation worsen, many of our international clients are pausing their operations and no longer making new orders. We expect this low demand and difficulty in transportation situation to remain in fiscal 2022.
Reduction of Carbon Emission
China issued plans to reduce the carbon intensity of its economy 60%-65% per unit of GDP by 2030, compared with 2005 levels. In order to reach this goal by 2030, China will need to strengthen regulations already in place, introduce and strictly enforce laws and penalties, and hasten sweeping changes to how it produces and consumes energy, goods and raw materials. China will take additional action to reduce waste, promote renewables and unconventional fuel, and reform its electricity network as part of its plan to significantly reduce carbon emissions before 2030.

In the past two months, we had been asked to lower capacity and cut production procedures, employee travel, employee work locations in certain cases, and cancellation of physical participation in certain meetings, events and conferences), andhalf due to government’s carbon emission reduction requirements. Also, we expect to take further actions as maywill be required or recommended by government authorities or as we determine arefacing government’s guidelines regarding air pollution in the best interestsoverall attempt to create a better environment for the Beijing Winter Olympic Game in addition to the carbon emission reduction requirements for the coming years. Those are all unpredictable facts that will significantly impair our ability to maintain optimal production and will negatively impact our overall ability to generate revenue.

While we have broadened our stevia product offerings to include a number of higher quality stevia grades needed in new product formulations we are developing to introduce to the U.S. and European food and beverage industry, the demand for higher grade stevia products has yet to materialize to the degree we had anticipated, and we hope that our sales volume in higher grade stevia products will increase in fiscal 2022 as demand resumes and increases after the effects of the global pandemic. Stevia has become more widely accepted by the food industry and many new stevia manufacturers have entered this industry in the past few years; recently we have introduced a new product line. We are now focusing on new types of stevia products, including tablets, liquid, High A products, and others. We expect to consistently increase our sales of our new products; however, we cannot quantify this increase and its effects on future periods.
Our Outlook
We believe that there are significant opportunities for worldwide growth in our Stevioside segment, not only in the U.S. and EU markets but also in our domestic market. For the fiscal year ended April 30, 20202021 and beyond, we will continue to focus on our core business of producing and selling stevioside series products.

Currently there is a world-wide movement of lowering sugar intake, and more and more consumers are becoming aware of the health benefits associated with reduction of sugar intake. According to research data, 40% of Chinese consumers stated that they “will"will not mind paying more for food and beverages with more natural ingredients" and 80% of the interview consumers express a goal of "having a healthier diet". We believe that, in this search of a more natural and healthy diet and lifestyle, natural sweeteners such as stevia will become the mainstream sweetener in the food and beverage markets.
Some of the recent favorable observations related to the stevia markets in fiscal 20202021 include:
- | Chinese domestic food and beverages, particularly herbal tea manufacturers and the pharmaceutical industry, have increased the use of steviosides, and new health awareness trends have also resulted in some new governing laws supporting the growth of this industry; | ||
- | Southeast and South Asia have renewed and increased their interest in stevia, particularly high grade stevia; | ||
- | New global product launches mentioning stevia have increased 13% per year on average from 2014 to 2018; and | ||
- | Stevia has been growing in popularity in the last 10 years throughout all the global markets. |
Meanwhile, we are also facing challenges in competitive pricing and raw materials for the fiscal years ended April 30, 20202021 and 2021,2020, as well as negative impact from the global COVID-19 pandemic. During the fiscal yearyears ended April 30, 2021, the market prices of stevioside products continue to be impacted by strong price competition among Chinese manufacturers. With this being a product gaining large market shares in China, in the recent years we have seen many competitors entering the market. These new competitors use lower pricing as their effort to gain market share as they initially entering the market, thus driving down the average prices for stevia products. We expect the pressure from pricing competition to continue in fiscal 2021.2022. We anticipate the price of stevia leaves, the raw material used to produce our stevioside series products, will also continue to increase in fiscal 20212022 since the demand for raw material may increase as the market grows, while the production of the raw material experiences negative impact due to the global pandemic.
We intend to make adjustments internally in order to better operate in this market; our goal is to increase sales and develop new client bases through our marketing effort, decrease our production expenses while maintaining the stability and quality of our products, and decrease our overall expenditures. We believe while there are challenges and risks in this market, our high quality high grade product and the formulations developed by our internal research and development team differentiates us from other competitors and our efforts will lead to sustainable growth in the future.

Cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues increaseddecreased from 90.1%102.3% and 99.5% to 104.5%100.7% and 95.0% during the three and six months ended 2020October 31, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. Cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues2020, respectively. Gross margin in Stevioside segment increased from 83.8%(3.5)% to 101.4% during(1.2)% for the ninethree months ended 2020by October 31, 2021, compared to the same period in 2020. Our consolidated grossGross margin in Stevioside segment increased from (0.3)% to 4.3% for the three and ninesix months ended by JanuaryOctober 31, 2021, was (4.5)% and (1.4)%, as compared to 9.9% and 16.2% in the same period in 2020, which was primarily due to the epidemic of the novel strain of coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic adversely affected businesses and economic activities in 2020, and our efforts to insure safety in production and transportation.
We believe the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic is the most significant in our raw material purchasing and our sales. Due to the effect of the global COVID-19 pandemic, we expect the sourcing and availability of stevia raw material will have increased difficulties and costs for fiscal 2021 and 2022. February to March is normally the nursing period for stevia plants; asAs a result of COVID-19 related gathering laws, farmers are not able to have the same amount of nursery workers as previous years, resulting in a decrease of stevia plants, and relevant safety measures also resulted in an increase of general planting costs. We expect this to cause a shortage of stevia leaves harvest this year and along with the effect of the rain seasons, we expect to see an increase in our cost of raw material. After we resumed production, the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on transportation has also made it difficult for us to efficiently procure our raw materials.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate sufficient cash to meet its operational cash requirements.
On October 31, 2021, we had working capital deficit of approximately $416,000,$4,865,000, including cash of approximately $225,000,$699,000, as compared to working capitaldeficit of approximately $3,470,000,$1,089,000, including cash of approximately $1,138,000$1,566,000 at April 30, 2020.2021. The approximate $912,000$867,000 decrease in our cash at JanuaryOctober 31, 2021 from April 30, 20202021 is primarily attributable to net cash used in operating activities of approximately $1,537,000$2,446,000 and net cash used in investing activities of approximately $529,000,$2,198,000, offset by net cash provided by financing activities of approximately $1,108,000$3,769,000 during the ninesix months ended JanuaryOctober 31, 2021. The Company's cash balance and revenues generated are not currently sufficient and cannot be projected to cover operating expenses for the next twelve months from the date of this report. These factors raise doubt as to the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. Management's plans include attempting to improve its business profitability, its ability to generate sufficient cash flow from its operations to meet its operating needs on a timely basis, obtain additional working capital funds through debt and equity financings, and restructure on-going operations to eliminate inefficiencies to raise cash balance in order to meet its anticipated cash requirements for the next twelve months from the date of this report. Management intends to make every effort to improve its current sales force as to further develop and expand the international markets for its new products as well as continuing with the current sources of funds to meet working capital needs on as needed basis. There can be no assurance that these plans and arrangements will be successful.

The majority of our cash balances at Januaryon October 31, 2021 are in the form of RMB stored in bank account of China. Cash held in banks in the PRC is not insured. The value of cash on deposit in mainland China of $161,843$517,262 as of JanuaryOctober 31, 2021 has been converted based on the exchange rate as of JanuaryOctober 31, 2021. In 1996, the Chinese government introduced regulations, which relaxed restrictions on the conversion of the RMB; however, restrictions still remain, including but not limited to restrictions on foreign invested entities. Foreign invested entities may only buy, sell or remit foreign currencies after providing valid commercial documents at only those banks authorized to conduct foreign exchanges. Furthermore, the conversion of RMB for capital account items, including direct investments and loans, is subject to PRC government approval. Chinese entities are required to establish and maintain separate foreign exchange accounts for capital account items. We cannot be certain Chinese regulatory authorities will not impose more stringent restrictions on the convertibility of the RMB, especially with respect to foreign exchange transactions. Accordingly, cash on deposit in banks in the PRC is not readily deployable by us for use outside of China.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
Under SEC regulations, we are required to disclose our off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, such as changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors. An off-balance sheet arrangement means a transaction, agreement or contractual arrangement to which any entity that is not consolidated with us as a party, under which we have:
- | Any obligation under certain guarantee contracts, | ||
- | Any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to that entity for such assets, | ||
- | Any obligation under a contract that would be accounted for as a derivative instrument, except that it is both indexed to our stock and classified in stockholder's equity in our statement of financial position, and | ||
- | Any obligation arising out of a material variable interest held by us in an unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit risk support to us, or engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with us. |
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that we are required to disclose pursuant to these regulations. In the ordinary course of business, we enter into operating lease commitments, purchase commitments and other contractual obligations. These transactions are recognized in our financial statements in accordance with accepted accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("U.S. GAAP").
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The SEC has defined a company's critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of the company's financial condition and results of operations, and which require the company to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. Based on this definition, weWe have identified the critical accounting policies and judgments addressed below. We also have other key accounting policies, which involve the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that are significant to understanding our results, which are described in Note 2 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Although we believe that our estimates, assumptions and judgments are reasonable, they are based upon information presently available. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates under different assumptions, judgments or conditions.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as specified in the SEC's rules and forms and that such information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), and our Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of JanuaryOctober 31, 2021.
Based on this evaluation our management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of JanuaryOctober 31, 2021 such that the information relating to our company, required to be disclosed in our Securities and Exchange Commission reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act. Our management is also required to assess and report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 ("Section 404"). As reported in our Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2020,2021, management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of April 30, 20202021 and, during our assessment, management identified significant deficiencies related to (i) the U.S. GAAP expertise of our internal accounting staff, (ii) our internal audit functions and (iii) a lack of segregation of duties within accounting functions. Although management believes that these deficiencies do not amount to a material weakness, our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective at April 30, 2020.
Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. As a result, we have not been able to take steps to improve our internal controls over financial reporting during the three months ended JanuaryOctober 31, 2021. However, to the extent possible, we will implement procedures to assure that the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions will be performed by separate individuals.
A material weakness (within the meaning of PCAOB Auditing Standard No. 5) is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those responsible for oversight of the company's financial reporting.
In light of this significant deficiency, we performed additional analyses and procedures in order to conclude that our consolidated financial statements for the three months ended JanuaryOctober 31, 2021 included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q were fairly stated in accordance with the U.S. GAAP. Accordingly, management believes that despite our significant deficiency, our consolidated financial statements for the three months ended JanuaryOctober 31, 2021 are fairly stated, in all material respects, in accordance with the U.S. GAAP.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation of our controls performed during the three months ended JanuaryOctober 31, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
