EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

As disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 29, 2021, as amended, on March 26, 2021, the Audit Committee (the “Audit Committee”) of the Board of Directors of TD Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), after discussion with the Company’s management, concluded that the Company’s previously issued financial statements contained in the Company’s Quarterly Reports (“2020 Quarterly Reports”) on Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2020, June 30, 2020, and September 30, 2020 (collectively “Non-Reliance Periods”), originally filed on June 26, 2020, August 14, 2020, and November 13, 2020, respectively, should no longer be relied upon. Similarly, related press releases, earnings releases, and investor communications describing the Company’s financial statements for the Non-Reliance Periods should no longer be relied upon.

We are therefore filing this this amended Form 10-Q (“Amended Form 10-Q”) to our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 (the “Original Form 10-Q”), to restate our interim financial statements and revise related disclosures (including, without limitation, those contained under Item 1, Financial Statements and Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contained in the Original Form 10-Q to reflect reversal of revenues from supply chain management, which impacted the Company’s net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share, and related disclosures and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. In addition, the identification of related parties changes the footnote for related parties.

As several parts of the Original Form 10-Q are amended and/or restated by this Amended Form 10-Q, for convenience, we have repeated the entire text of the Original Form 10-Q, as amended and/or restated by this Amended Form 10-Q. Readers should therefore read and rely on this Amended Form 10-Q in lieu of the Original Form 10-Q.

Except as amended and/or restated by this Amended Form 10-Q, no other information included in the Original Form 10-Q is being amended or updated by this Amended Form 10-Q. This Amended Form 10-Q continues to describe the conditions as of the date of the Original Form 10-Q and, except as contained therein, we have not updated or modified the disclosures contained in the Original Form 10-Q. Accordingly, this Amended Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our filings made with the SEC subsequent to the filing of the Original Form 10-Q, including any amendment to those filings.

The unauditedinterim condensed consolidated financial information as of September 30, 2020March 31, 2021 and for the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2021 and 2020 and 2019 hashave been prepared, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SECSecurities and pursuant to Regulation S-X.Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures, which are normally included in annual condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S.US GAAP, have been omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with the auditedconsolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, which was2020 previously filed with the SEC on May 29, 2020.June 4, 2021.

 

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present a fair statement of the accompanyingCompany’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for a fair presentationposition as of financial results for the interim periods presented. The Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The accompanyingMarch 31, 2021 and its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the same accounting policies as used in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2021 and 2020, and 2019its unaudited condensed consolidated cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, as applicable, have been made. The interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full years.fiscal year or any future periods.

 

(b)Loans receivable due from third partiesUse of estimates

The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with the US GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities on the date of these condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. The Company bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions and information that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Estimates and assumptions of future events and their effects cannot be perceived with certainty and, accordingly, these estimates may change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information is obtained and as our operating environment changes. Significant estimates and assumptions made by management include, among others, useful lives and impairment of long-lived assets, collectability of receivables, including accounts receivable, loans receivable, and amount due from related parties, advances to suppliers, allowance for doubtful accounts and fair value of goodwill. While the Company believes that the estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements are appropriate, actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates and assumptions are periodically reviewed and the effects of revisions are reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements in the period they are determined to be necessary.


Foreign currency

The functional currency of the Company and its Hong Kong subsidiary is the United States dollars (“US$”). The Company’s PRC subsidiaries determined their functional currency to be the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”). The determination of functional currency is based on the criteria of ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters (“ASC 830”). The Company uses the RMB as its reporting currency.

The financial statements of the Company and its Hong Kong subsidiary are translated from the functional currency to the reporting currency, RMB. Monetary assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries are translated into RMB using the exchange rate in effect at each balance sheet date. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rate prevailing during the fiscal year. Translation gains and losses are accumulated in other comprehensive loss, as a component of shareholders’ deficit in the consolidated financial statements.

Transactions denominated in other than the functional currencies are remeasured into the functional currency of the entity at the exchange rates prevailing on the transaction dates. Financial assets and liabilities denominated in other than the functional currency are re-measured into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. The foreign exchange differences are recorded in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).

(b)Convertible promissory notes

 

The Company provided loansaccounts for its convertible notes at issuance by allocating the proceeds received among freestanding instruments according to certain third partiesASC 470, Debt ("ASC 470,") based upon their relative fair values.  The fair value of debt and common stock is determined based on the closing price of the common stock on the date of the transaction, and the fair value of warrants, if any, is determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.  Convertible notes are subsequently carried at amortized cost.  The fair value of the warrants is recorded as additional paid-in capital, with a corresponding debt discount from the face amount of the convertible note.  

Each convertible note is analyzed for the purposeexistence of making usea beneficial conversion feature, defined as the fair value of its cash.the common stock at the commitment date for the convertible note less the effective conversion price. Beneficial conversion features are recognized at their intrinsic value, and recorded as an increase to additional paid-in capital, with a corresponding reduction in the carrying amount of the convertible note (as a debt discount from the face amount of the convertible note.)  The discounts on the convertible notes, consisting of amounts ascribed to warrants and beneficial conversion features, are amortized to interest expense, using the effective interest method, over the terms of the related convertible notes.  Beneficial conversion features that are contingent upon the occurrence of a future event are recorded when the contingency is resolved.

Each convertible note is also analyzed for the existence of embedded derivatives, which may require bifurcation from the convertible note and separate accounting treatment.

 

The Company monitors all loans receivable for delinquency and provides for estimated losses for specific receivables thatalso analyzes the features of its convertible notes which, when triggered, mandate a downward adjustment to the instrument’s strike price (or conversion price) if equity shares are not likelyissued at a lower price (or equity-linked financial instruments are issued at a lower strike price) than the instrument’s then-current strike price. The purpose of the feature is typically to be collected.

2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(f)Recent accounting pronouncement

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13 “Measurement(“ASU 2016-13”) “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses” (“ASC 326”): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (Topic 326), which significantly changesrequires the way entities recognize impairmentmeasurement and recognition of manyexpected credit losses for financial assets by requiring immediateheld at amortized cost. ASU 2016-13 replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected loss model which requires the use of forward-looking information to calculate credit loss estimates. It also eliminates the concept of other-than-temporary impairment and requires credit losses related to available-for-sale debt securities to be recorded through an allowance for credit losses rather than as a reduction in the amortized cost basis of the securities. These changes will result in earlier recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur over their remaining life, instead of when incurred.losses. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-19, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses”, which amends Subtopic 326-20 (created by ASU No.2016-13) to explicitly state that operating lease receivables are not in the scope of Subtopic 326-20. Additionally, in April 2019, the FASB issued ASU No.2019-04, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments”, in May 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-05, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief”, and in November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10 “Financial Instruments—Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842): Effective Dates”, and ASU No. 2019-11, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses”, to provide further clarifications on certain aspects of ASU No. 2016-13 and to extend” (“ASC 2019-10,”) which defers the nonpublic entity effective date of ASU No. 2016-13.2016-13 to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, for public entities which meet the definition of a smaller reporting company. The changes (as amended)Company will adopt ASU 2016-13 effective January 1, 2023. Management is currently evaluating the effect of the adoption of ASU 2016-13 on the consolidated financial statements. The effect will largely depend on the composition and credit quality of our investment portfolio and the economic conditions at the time of adoption.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment,” which simplifies how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating step two from the goodwill impairment test. Step two of the goodwill impairment test measures a goodwill impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill with its carrying amount. As amended by ASU 2019-10, annual or interim goodwill impairment tests are effective for the Company for annual and interim periodsperformed in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. We do not expect that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01, Investments-Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) - Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815. This guidance addresses accounting for the transition into and out of the equity method and provides clarification of the interaction of rules for equity securities, the equity method of accounting, and forward contracts and purchase options on certain types of securities. This standard is effective for the Group beginning January 1, 2022 andincluding interim periods within the Companyfiscal year. Early adoption is in the process of evaluating the potential effectpermitted. The Group does not expect any material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06 (“ASU 2020-06”) “Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity.” ASU 2020-06 will simplify the accounting for convertible instruments by reducing the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. For public business entities, the amendments in ASU 2020-06 are effective for public entities which meet the definition of a smaller reporting company are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2023. The Company will adopt ASU 2020-06 effective January 1, 2024. Management is currently evaluating the effect of the adoption of ASU 2020-06 on the consolidated financial statements. The effect will largely depend on the composition and terms of the financial instruments at the time of adoption.

 

3.LIQUIDITY

In assessing the Company’s liquidity, the Company monitors and analyzes its cash and its ability to generate sufficient cash flow in the future to support its operating and capital expenditure commitments.

Going forward, the Company plans to fund its operations through revenue generated from its commodity trading business, funds from its private placements as well as financial support commitments from the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and major shareholders.

10.INCOME TAXES

 

Effective January 1, 2008, the New Taxation Law of PRC stipulates that domestic enterprises and foreign invested enterprises (the “FIEs”) are subject to a uniform tax rate of 25%. Under the PRC tax law, companies are required to make quarterly estimate payments based on 25% tax rate; companies that received preferential tax rates are also required to use a 25% tax rate for their installment tax payments. The overpayment, however, will not be refunded and can only be used to offset future tax liabilities.

  

The Company evaluates the level of authority for each uncertain tax position (including the potential application of interest and penalties) based on the technical merits, and measures the unrecognized benefits associated with the tax positions. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits. Due to uncertainties surrounding future utilization, the Company estimates there will not be sufficient future income to realize the deferred tax assets for certain subsidiaries.subsidiaries and a VIE. As of September 30, 2020March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2019,2020, the Company had deferred tax assets of $5,305,479$3,240,313 and $2,933,705,$4,452,837, respectively. The Company maintains a full valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2020.March 31, 2021.

 

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

 

For the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2021 and 2020, and 2019, the Company had current income tax expenses of $1,149,563 generated by Huamucheng$603,616 and $nil, respectively, and deferred income tax expenses of $nil and $nil, respectively. For$203,147 in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company had current income tax expensesconnection of $1,573,531intangible assets generated by Huamucheng and $nil, respectively, and deferred income tax expenses of $nilfrom Baiyu acquisition, and $nil, respectively.

 

The Company accounts for uncertainty in income taxes using a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement. Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions are recognized and recorded as necessary in the provision for income taxes. The Company is subject to income taxes in the PRC. According to the PRC Tax Administration and Collection Law, the statute of limitations is three years if the underpayment of taxes is due to computational errors made by the taxpayer or the withholding agent. The statute of limitations is extended to five years under special circumstances, where the underpayment of taxes is more than RMB 100,000. In the case of transfer pricing issues, the statute of limitation is ten years. There is no statute of limitation in the case of tax evasion. There were no uncertain tax positions as of September 30, 2020March 31, 2021 and December 31, 20192020 and the Company does not believe that its unrecognized tax benefits will change over the next twelve months.

Under Topic 842, lessees are required to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) on the commencement date: (i) lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and (ii) right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term.

The Company leases offices space with terms ranging from one to two years.

Lease expense for lease payment is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Leases with initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet.

 

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

As of September 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, the Company had one lease contractarrangement with lease expiration in June 2021.an unrelated third party with a monthly rental fee of approximately $7,200.

In addition, with the extended Chinese business shutdowns that resulted from the outbreak of COVID-19, we may experience delays or the inability to service our customers on a timely basis in both our luxurious car leasing business and our commodities trading business. The disruptions to our supply chain and business operations, or to our suppliers’ or customers’ supply chains and business operations, could include disruptions from the closure of our luxury car rental facilities, interruptions in the supply of commodities, personnel absences, and restrictions on the luxury car rental services or delivery and storage of commodities, any of which could have adverse ripple effects on our luxurious car leasing business and our commodities trading business. If we need to close any of our facilities or a critical number of our employees become too ill to work, our ability to provide our products and services to our customers could be materially adversely affected in a rapid manner. Similarly, if our customers experience adverse business consequences due to COVID-19, or any other pandemic, demand for our products and services could also be materially adversely affected in a rapid manner. Global health concerns, such as COVID-19, could also result in social, economic, and labor instability in the localities in which we or our suppliers and customers operate within China.

In addition, a recession or market correction resulting from the spread of COVID-19 could materially affect our business and the value of our common stock. While it is too early to tell whether COVID-19 will have a material effect on our business over time, we continue to monitor the situation as it unfolds. The extent to which COVID-19 affects our results will depend on many factors and future developments, including new information about COVID-19 and any new government regulations which may emerge to contain the virus, among others.

(5)Risks related to industry

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

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

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

15.RESTATEMENT OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company has noted the following errors in relation to its consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 that had been filed on November 13, 2020. The errors related to the correction of revenue recognition from supply chain management services, recognition of interest income from loans due from a third party, and identification of related parties.

1)Revenue recognition from supply chain management services

The revenue generated from supply chain management services were misstated due to following two reasons:

a.Error in recognition of revenues generated from loan recommendation services

Pursuant to the accounting policy on revenue recognition for loan recommendation services, such revenue is recognized at the point when referral services are performed and the related funds are drawdown by customer. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recognized revenues before related funds are drawdown by the customer. As a result, the Company made an accounting adjustment reflected in the restated consolidated financial statements. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, revenue from supply chain management services decreased by $332,241 and $670,897, income tax expenses decreased by $83,060 and $167,724 and net loss increased by $249,181 and $503,173. As of September 30, 2020, advance from customers and due to related parties increased by $426,264 and $304,999, respectively, income tax payable decreased by $172,468 and other tax liabilities – other tax payable decreased by $41,392.

b.Error in recognition of interest income on loans due from a third party

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company provided loans to Shenzhen Xinsuniao. The Company mistakenly recognized certain interest income as revenues from supply chain management services. As a result, the Company made an accounting adjustment reflected in the restated consolidated financial statements. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, revenue from supply chain management services decreased by $9,232 and $1,700,540, income tax expenses decreased by $2,309 and $425,135 and net loss increased by $6,926 and $1,275,405. As of September 30, 2020, other current assets decreased by $2,220,003, and income tax payable decreased by $437,158.

2)Identification of related parties

For the three months and nine ended September 30, 2020, the Company did not identify companies controlled or exercised significant influences by an immediate family of the Chief Executive Officer as related parties. The Company restated the consolidated financial statements by classification of the balances due from/to these related parties from other current assets and other current liabilities. In addition, the Company presented revenues from related parties under a standalone caption in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

3)Adjustment of interest income earned from a third party

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company provided loans to Shenzhen Xinsuniao. Because part of the interest income was mistakenly recognized in the account of “revenue from supply chain management services” (see 1.b), the Company accrued additional interest income for the loans. As a result, the Company made accounting adjustments of 1) reclassification of interest income from supply chain management services and 2) reversal of accrued interest income in the restated consolidated financial statements.

As a result of the above adjustments, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, interest income decreased by $519,984 and $229,204, income tax expenses decreased by $126,211 and $57,301, and net loss decreased by $378,634 and $171,903. As of September 30, 2020, other current assets increased by $235,686 and income tax payable decreased by $58,921.March 4, 2021

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

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recorded revenue of $29,436,482 from commodities trading business and $145,775 from commodity distributions services and other related services, respectively.

The Company works with upstream suppliers in the sourcing of commodities. Major suppliers include various metal and mineral suppliers such as Kunsteel Group, Baosteel Group, Aluminum Corporate of China Limited, Yunnan Benyuan, Yunnan Tin, and Shanghai Copper.

Key Factors Affecting Our Results of Operation

 

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

 

We have a limited operating history having just started our commodities trading business in late November 2019. We believe our future success depends on our ability to significantly increase sales as well as maintain profitability from our operations. Our limited operating history makes it difficult to evaluate our business and future prospects. You should consider our future prospects in light of the risks and challenges encountered by a company with a limited operating history in an emerging and rapidly evolving industry. These risks and challenges include, among other things,

 

 our ability to continue our growth as well as maintain profitability;

 

 preservation of our competitive position in commodities trading industry in China;

 

 our ability to implement our strategies and make timely and effective responses to competition and changes in customer preferences; and

 

 recruitment, training and retaining of qualified managerial and other personnel.

 

Our business requires a significant amount of capital in large part due to needing to purchase bulk volume of commodities, and expand our business in existing markets and to additional markets where we currently do not have operations.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Based on an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act were not effective as of September 30, 2020 (please referMarch 31, 2021

Certain personnel primarily responsible for the preparation of our financial statements require additional requisite levels of knowledge, experience and training in the application of U.S. GAAP commensurate with our financial reporting requirements. The management thought that in light of the inexperience of our accounting staff with respect to Item 9A. Controlsthe requirements of U.S. GAAP-based reporting and Procedures enclosed in Form 10-K filedSEC rules and regulations, we did not maintain effective controls and did not implement adequate and proper supervisory review to ensure that significant internal control deficiencies can be detected or prevented.

Management’s assessment of the control deficiency over accounting and finance personnel as of March 31, 2021 including:

There is a lack of formal procedures with handling different types of revenue recognition.

Company management conducted extensive transactions with related parties without adequate control by the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors.

There is a lack of procedures and documentation for dealing with related parties.

There was no accountant with adequate U.S. GAAP knowledge working in the Company’s Accounting Department. Part of the Company’s U.S. GAAP reporting function was outsourced to external consultant;

The Company has insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting, which led to inadequate financial statement closing process.

Based on May 29, 2020).the above factors, management concluded that the control deficiency over accounting and finance personnel was the material weaknesses as of March 31, 2021, as our accounting staff continues to lack sufficient U.S. GAAP experience and requires further substantial training.

 

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

  

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 20202021 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

d)2020 Court Matter with Harrison Fund

d) 2020 Court Matter with Harrison Fund

 

On April 6, 2020, the Company filed a law suit against Harrison Fund, LLC (“Harrison Fund”) in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California (the “District Court”) (Case No. 3:20-cv-2307). The Company had invested $1,000,000 in Harrison Fund around May 2019. However, Harrison Fund had been reluctant to disclose related investment information to the Company and it was discovered that certain information presented on Harrison Fund’s brochure appeared to be problematic. The Company demanded a return of its investment from Harrison Fund. When the Company failed to obtain a response from Harrison Fund, it filed the complaint against Harrison Fund seeking to recover the $1,000,000 investment.

 

Due to the uncertainty arising from this pending legal proceeding, a full impairment has been applied against the Company’s investment in financial products.

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 May 29, 2020.

Risk Factors Relating to Our Acquisition of Supply Chain Service Business

There is no assurance that we will be able to synergize the operations of Huamucheng and Qianhai Baiyu effectively.

Synergizing the commodity supply chain services of Qianhai Baiyu with the commodities trading business of Huamucheng is a significant challenge and there is no assurance that we will be able to manage the synergization successfully. If we are unable to efficiently synergize these businesses, the attention of our management could be diverted from our existing operations and the ability of the management teams at these business units to meet operational and financial expectations could be adversely impacted, which could impair our ability to execute our business plans. Failure to successfully synergize the commodity supply chain services of Qianhai Baiyu or to realize the expected benefits of our expansion in the commodity supply chain services field may have an adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition. 

Acquisitions or strategic investments we have made or may make could turn out to be unsuccessful.

As part of our strategy, we frequently monitor and analyze acquisition or investment opportunities that we believe will create value for our shareholders. For example, in October 2020, we acquired Qianhai Baiyu and plan to leverage Qianhai Baiyu’s experiences and technique to expand our operations in the commodity supply chain service field.

However, our acquisition of Qianhai Baiyu or future acquisitions and investments could involve numerous risks that may prevent us from fully realizing the benefits that we anticipated as a result of the transaction. These risks include the failure to derive any commercial value from the acquired technology, products and intellectual property including as a result of the failure to obtain regulatory approval or to monetize products once approved, as well as risks from lengthy product development and high upfront development costs without guarantee of successful results. Patents and other intellectual property rights covering acquired technology and/or intellectual property may not be obtained, and if obtained, may not be sufficient to fully protect the technology or intellectual property. We may be subject to liabilities, including unanticipated litigation costs, that are not covered by indemnification protection we may obtain. As we pursue or consummate a strategic acquisition or investment, we may value the acquired or funded company incorrectly, fail to successfully manage our operations as our asset diversity increases, expend unforeseen costs during the acquisition or integration process, or encounter other unanticipated risks or challenges. Once an investment is made, we may fail to value it accurately, properly account for it in our consolidated financial statements, or successfully divest it or otherwise realize the value which we originally invested or have subsequently reflected in our consolidated financial statements. Any failure by us to effectively limit such risks as we implement our acquisitions or strategic investments could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations and may negatively impact our net income and cause the price of our securities to fall.

Our Supply Chain Service Business is susceptible to volatility due to ongoing uncertainty as a result of ongoing international and domestic pandemic response and recovery efforts.

Our Supply Chain Services Business has been relatively stable since May 2020 when the COVID-19 pandemic has been brought under control in China. As of the date of this Report, we are continuing to execute our pandemic response plan and planning to best position our company to emerge as strong as possible when the COVID-19 pandemic officially ends. However, our supply chain services business is still susceptible to volatility due to ongoing international and domestic pandemic response and recovery efforts. Despite our diligent efforts to monitor and respond as appropriate to the impacts of the pandemic on our supply chain services business, there remains a fair degree of uncertainty regarding the potential impact of the pandemic on our business, from both a financial and operational perspective, and the scope and costs associated with additional measures that may be necessary in response to the pandemic going forward.

If customers of our supply chain services are able to reduce their logistics and supply chain costs or increase utilization of their internal solutions, our supply chain services business and operating results may be materially and adversely affected.

Our acquisition of Qianhai Baiyu in October 2020, has laid a solid foundation for us to expand our operations in the commodity supply chain service field. Qianhai Baiyu has a supply chain infrastructure, which includes processing, logistics, warehousing and terminals. Utilizing its customer base, industry experience, and expertise in the commodity trading industry, Qianhai Baiyu serves as a one-stop commodity supply chain service and digital intelligence supply chain platform integrating enterprises, warehouses, logistics, information, and futures trading.

A major driver for merchants and other customers to use third-party logistics and supply chain service providers is the high cost and degree of difficulty associated with developing in-house logistics and supply chain expertise and operational efficiencies. If, however, our customers are able to develop their own logistics and supply chain solutions, increase utilization of their in-house supply chain, reduce their logistics spending, or otherwise choose to terminate our services, our logistics and supply chain management business and operating results may be materially and adversely affected.June 4, 2021.
