NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”). 

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. The information included in this interim report should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Group’s annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the SEC on June 11, 2024.

Principal of Consolidation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Tantech BVI and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Group”). All significant inter-company balances and transactions are eliminated upon consolidation.

Non-controlling interest

Non-controlling interest represents 30% of the equity interest in Shangchi Automobile and its subsidiary Shenzhen Yimao owned by Zhangjiagang Jinke Chuangtou Co., Ltd., which is not under the Group’s control.

Use of Estimates

In preparing the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting year. Significant accounting estimates required to be made by management include, but are not limited to provision for credit losses, impairment of long-lived assets and impairment of long-term investments.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments 

ASC 825-10 requires certain disclosures regarding the fair value of financial instruments. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A three-level fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows: 

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

Level 2 - inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted market prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 - inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable.

Unless otherwise disclosed, the fair value of the Group’s financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, financing receivable, advances to suppliers, prepaid expenses and other receivables, accounts payable, customer deposits, accrued liabilities and other payables and short-term bank loans approximates their recorded values due to their short-term maturities.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)

(i) The Group has elected to recognize the convertible note at fair value and therefore there was no further evaluation of embedded features for bifurcation. The Group engaged third party valuation firm to perform the valuation of convertible note. The fair value of the convertible note is calculated using the Scenario-based Discounted Cash Flows with Monte Carlo Simulation Model (the "Monte Carlo Model”). The following is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for convertible note measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and for the year ended December 31, 2023:

	For the six months ended			For the year ended
	June 30,			December 31,

Opening balance	$	1,727,694		$	-
New convertible note issued		-			1,999,990

Ending balance	$	1,209,466		$	1,727,694

(ii) The freestanding warrants issued in connection with the April 2024 Private Placement were determined to be derivatives that were accounted for as warrant liabilities measured at fair value on recurring basis (Note 11). The Group engaged third party valuation firm to perform the valuation of warrant liabilities using Monte Carlo Model with significant unobservable inputs to measure the fair value of the warrant liability (Level 3). The following is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for warrants liabilities measured at fair value for the six months ended June 30, 2024:

	For the six months ended
	June 30,
	2024
Opening balance	$	-
Warrants issued in connection with the April 2024 Private Placement		1,358,374
Change in fair value		850,294
Ending balance	$	2,208,668

Concentrations of credit risk

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Group to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, accounts receivable and financing receivable. All of the Group’s cash is maintained with banks within the People’s Republic of China, where there is a RMB 500,000 deposit insurance limit for a legal entity’s aggregated balance at each maintained bank. The Group has not experienced any losses in such accounts. A significant portion of the Group’s sales are credit sales which are primarily to customers whose ability to pay is dependent upon the industry economics prevailing in these areas. The Group also engages in factoring business to earn interest income. The Group performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers to reduce credit risk.

Cash and cash equivalents

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Group considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less and money market accounts to be cash equivalents. All cash balances are in bank accounts in PRC and are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or other programs. The Group maintains most of its bank accounts in the mainland of China. Cash balances in bank accounts in mainland China are insured by the People’s Bank of China Financial Stability Department (“FSD”) while there is a RMB 500,000 deposit insurance limit for a legal entity’s aggregated balance at each bank. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Group has approximately $34.2 million and $29.1 million, respectively, of cash in banks, most held in the banks located in the mainland of China.

Accounts receivable, net

Accounts receivable is presented at invoiced amount net of an allowance for credit losses. The Group usually determines the adequacy of reserves for credit losses based on individual account analysis and historical collection trends. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” which requires the Group to measure and recognize expected credit losses for financial assets held and not accounted for at fair value through net income. The Group adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2023. The Group establishes a provision for credit losses based on management’s best estimates of specific losses on individual exposures, as well as a provision on historical trends of collections. The provision is recorded against accounts receivables balances, with a corresponding charge recorded in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. Delinquent account balances are written-off against the allowance for credit losses after management has determined that the likelihood of collection is not probable. 

Financing receivable, net

Financing receivables represent receivables arising from the Group’s factoring business. Financing receivables are measured at amortized cost and reported on the consolidated balance sheets based on the outstanding principal adjusted for any write-off, and the allowance. Amortized cost of a financing receivables is equal to the unpaid principal balance plus interest receivable. The Group recognizes financial interest income over the terms of the financing receivables using the effective interest rate method.

Impairment of long-lived assets

The Group evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances, such as a significant adverse change to market conditions that will impact the future use of the assets, indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. When these events occur, the Group evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets by comparing the carrying amount of the assets to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the assets, the Group recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount of the assets over their fair value. Fair value is generally determined by discounting the cash flows expected to be generated by the assets, when the market prices are not readily available.

Leases

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The standard requires lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and requires expanded disclosures about leasing arrangements. The new standard establishes a right-of-use model (“ROU”) that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months.

The Group adopted ASC 842 on January 1, 2019 on a modified retrospective basis and elected the practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, which allows the Group to carryforward the historical lease classification, the assessment on whether a contract is or contains a lease, and the initial direct costs for any leases that exist prior to adoption of the new standard. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recognized on the balance sheet and the associated lease payments are included in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The standard did not materially impact our consolidated net earnings and cash flows.

Revenue Recognition

The Group adopted ASC Topic 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) on January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective approach. There is no adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings at January 1, 2018 since there was no change to the timing and pattern of revenue recognition upon adoption of ASC 606. Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized when control of promised goods or services is transferred to the Group’s customers in an amount of consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The Group’s revenues are primarily derived from the following sources:

Sales of products: The Group recognizes sales revenue, net of sales taxes and estimated sales returns, at the time the product is delivered to the customer and control is transferred (point of sale).

For the Group’s electric vehicles sales contracts, the Group provides a warranty for 12 months from the products are delivered. The Group determines such product warranty is an assurance-type warranty and is not a separated performance obligation in revenue recognition, because the nature of warranty is to provide assurance that a product will function as expected and in accordance with customer’s specification. The Group estimates the warranty costs when the promised good is delivered to the customer and accrues as warranty liabilities.

Commission income: The Group acts as an agent without assuming the risks and rewards of ownership of the goods and reports the revenue on a net basis. Revenue is recognized based on the completion of the contracted service.

Revenue is reported net of all value added taxes. The Group does not routinely permit customers to return products and historically, customer returns have been immaterial.

Foreign Currency Translation

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

The following table outlines the currency exchange rates that were used in creating the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this report:

	June 30, 2024			June 30, 2023			December 31, 2023

Income Taxes

The Group’s subsidiaries in China are subject to the income tax laws of the PRC. No taxable income was generated outside the PRC as of June 30, 2024. The Group accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes”. ASC 740 requires an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes and allows recognition and measurement of deferred tax assets based upon the likelihood of realization of tax benefits in future years. Under the asset and liability approach, deferred taxes are provided for the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not these items will either expire before the Group is able to realize their benefits, or future deductibility is uncertain.

ASC 740‑10‑25 prescribes a more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken (or expected to be taken) in a tax return. It also provides guidance on the recognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, years open for tax examination, accounting for income taxes in interim periods and income tax disclosures. The statute of limitation on the PRC tax authority’s audit or examination of previously filed tax returns expires three years from the date they were filed. There were no material uncertain tax positions as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Earnings (loss) per Share (“EPS”)

Earnings (loss) per common share is calculated in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share. Basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares include common shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding share options by using the treasury stock method and common shares issuable upon the conversion of convertible instruments using the if-converted method. Potential common shares are not included in the denominator of the diluted net (loss)/earnings per share calculation when inclusion of such shares would be anti-dilutive.

Risks and Uncertainties

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Group to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and restricted cash. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, approximately $34.2 million and $29.1 million were deposited with financial institutions located in the PRC, respectively, where there is a RMB500,000 deposit insurance limit for a legal entity’s aggregated balance at each bank. As a result, the amounts not covered by deposit insurance were approximately $34.0 million and $28.9 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

The operations of the Group are located in the PRC. Accordingly, the Group’s business, financial condition, and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic, and legal environments in the PRC, in addition to the general state of the PRC economy. The Group’s operating results may be adversely affected by changes in the political and social conditions in the PRC, and by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.

Risks and Uncertainties (continued)

The Group’s sales, purchases and expense transactions are denominated in RMB, and primarily all of the Group’s assets and liabilities are also denominated in RMB. The RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currencies under the current law. In China, foreign exchange transactions are required by law to be transacted only by authorized financial institutions at exchange rates set by the People’s Bank of China, the central bank of China. Remittances in currencies other than RMB may require certain supporting documentation in order to affect the remittance.

The Group does not carry any business interruption insurance, products liability insurance or any other insurance policy except for a limited property insurance policy. As a result, the Group may incur uninsured losses, increasing the possibility that investors would lose their entire investment in the Group.

The Group had certain customers whose revenue individually represented 10% or more of the Group’s total revenue, or whose accounts receivable balances individually represented 10% or more of the Group’s total accounts receivable, as follows:

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, three major customers accounted for approximately 28%, 27%, and 13% of the Group’s total sales, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, four major customers accounted for approximately 25%, 25%, 23%, and 20% of the Group’s total sales, respectively.

As of June 30, 2024, three customers accounted for approximately 27%, 24% and 18% of the Group’s accounts receivable balance, respectively.

As of December 31, 2023, three customers accounted for approximately 28%, 27% and 26% of the Group’s accounts receivable balance.

The Group also had certain major suppliers whose purchases individually represented 10% or more of the Group’s total purchases. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, two major suppliers accounted for approximately 40% and 10% of the Group’s total purchases, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, three major suppliers accounted for approximately 27%, 18%% and 10% of the Group’s total purchases, respectively.

Recent accounting pronouncements

The Group considers the applicability and impact of all accounting standards updates (“ASUs”). Management periodically reviews new accounting standards that are issued.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740). The ASU requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as additional information on income taxes paid. The ASU is effective on a prospective basis for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025. Early adoption is also permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. Once adopted, this ASU will result in additional disclosures. The Group is currently assessing the potential impact of the rule on our disclosures.

In November 2023, FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (Topic 280). This ASU updates reportable segment disclosure requirements by requiring disclosures of significant reportable segment expenses that are regularly provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) and included within each reported measure of a segment’s profit or loss. This ASU also requires disclosure of the title and position of the individual identified as the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measures of a segment’s profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is also permitted. This ASU will result in additional required disclosures when adopted, where applicable. The Group is currently assessing the potential impact of the rule on our disclosures.

In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-01, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) - Scope Application of Profits Interest and Similar Awards” (“ASU 2024-01”), which intends to improve clarity and operability without changing the existing guidance. ASU 2024-01 provides an illustrative example intended to demonstrate how entities that account for profits interest and similar awards would determine whether a profits interest award should be accounted for in accordance with Topic 718. Entities can apply the guidance either retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements or prospectively to profits interest and similar awards granted or modified on or after the date of adoption. ASU 2024-01 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted for both interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Group is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this guidance on Financial Statements.

In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-02, “Codification Improvements – Amendments to Remove References to the Concept Statements” (“ASU 2024-02”).  ASU 2024-02 contains amendments to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification that remove references to various FASB Concepts Statements. In most instances, the references are extraneous and not required to understand or apply the guidance. In other instances, the references were used in prior Statements to provide guidance in certain topical areas.  ASU 2024-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024.  Early adoption is permitted. The Group is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this guidance on Financial Statements.

Except for the above-mentioned pronouncements, there are no new recent issued accounting standards that will have material impact on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 3 - Divestitures

On March 16, 2024, the Group signed a share transfer agreement with a third party to sell its 100% equity interest in Zhejiang Tantech Bamboo Charcoal Co., Ltd. (“Tantech Charcoal”) for a consideration of $247,688 (RMB1.8 million). For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Group recorded a gain of $1,005,593 resulted from the disposition of Tantech Charcoal. The disposition is not considered a strategic shift to the Group’s business nor have a major effect on the Group’s operation and financial results; therefore, no discontinued operations were presented.

Note 10 – Convertible note

On June 29, 2023, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with Streeterville Capital, LLC (“Streeterville”), pursuant to which the Company issued the Investor an unsecured promissory note on June 29, 2023 in the original principal amount of $2,160,000 (the “June 2023 Note”), convertible into common shares of the Company, for $2,000,000 in gross proceeds. The transaction contemplated by the Purchase Agreement closed on June 29, 2023. The June 2023 Note bears interest at a rate of 7% per annum compounding daily. Pursuant to the convertible note agreement, the conversion price is 80% the lower of: (i) the closing price on the trading day immediately preceding the date the redemption conversion price is measured; or (ii) the average closing price of the common shares for the five trading days immediately preceding the date the redemption conversion price is measured, but not lower than $1.2 (the “Floor Price”). All outstanding principal and accrued interest on the Note will become due and payable twelve months after the purchase price of the Note is delivered by Purchaser to the Company (the “Purchase Price Date”). The Note includes an original issue discount of $140,000 along with $20,000 for Streeterville’s fees, costs and other transaction expenses incurred in connection with the purchase and sale of the Note. The Company may prepay all or a portion of the Note at any time by paying 105% of the outstanding balance elected for pre-payment.

The Company has elected to recognize the June 2023 Note at fair value and therefore there was no further evaluation of embedded features for bifurcation. The Group engaged third party valuation firm to perform the valuation of convertible note. The fair value of the convertible note is calculated using the Scenario-based Discounted Cash Flows with Monte Carlo Simulation Model (the "Monte Carlo Model”).

For the year ended December 31, 2023, the June 2023 Note were partially converted into 339,183 common shares of the Company. The fair value immediately prior to conversion was assessed at $438,000. The fair value was $1,727,694 as of December 31, 2023. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the June 2023 Note further converted into 796,666 common shares of the Company. The fair value immediately prior to conversion was assessed at $909,000. The fair value of was $1,209,466 as of June 30, 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized a loss of change in fair value of convertible note of $66,259 and $3,010, respectively. 

Due to the significant drop in the Company’s share price, Streeterville and the Company reached into a consensus, pursuant to which, the Streetrville was entitle to a compensation of $610,227 as of June 30, 2024, which was considered as an addition to the outstanding balance of the June 2023 Note.

Subsequently on September 5, 2024, the Company entered into an exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Streeterville, pursuant to which the Company issued a promissory note (the “September 2024 Exchange Note”) in exchange for the cancellation of the June 2023 Note. The principal amount of the September 2024 Exchange Note was $1,525,213, consisting of the remaining outstanding balance of the original June 2023 Note of $1,225,213 and an exchange fee of $300,000. The September 2024 Exchange Note bears interest at a rate of 7.0% per year and will have a term of twelve months. The Company may prepay all or a portion of the September 2024 Exchange Note at any time by paying 105% of the outstanding balance elected for prepayment. Beginning on October 1, 2024, Streeterville has the right to redeem the September 2024 Exchange Note at any time, subject to a maximum monthly redemption amount of $300,000. Upon receipt of a redemption notice, the Group is required to pay the applicable redemption amount in cash to Lender within three (3) trading days of receipt of the notice. If the Company has not paid by a minimum monthly redemption amount of $150,000, it is required to pay in cash by the fifth day of the following month the difference between the minimum monthly redemption amount and the amount actually repaid in such month, or the outstanding balance will automatically increase by 0.5% as of such fifth day. The Streeterville shall have the right to increase the balance of the September 2024 Exchange Note by 10% for a major trigger event and 5% for a minor trigger event as defined in the Exchange Agreement, with an aggregate of 25% as the maximum increase in the outstanding balance. In addition, the September 2024 Exchange Note provides that upon occurrence of an event of default, the interest rate shall accrue on the outstanding balance at the rate equal to the lesser of 15% per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law. From September to November 2024, the Company have repaid cash of $1,010,000 to Streeterville, subsequently.

The Group uses the “management approach” in determining reportable operating segments. The management approach considers the internal organization and reporting used by the Group’s chief operating decision maker for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the source for determining the Group’s reportable segments.  Effective in fiscal 2023, the Group combined biodegradable packaging business into consumer products segment. This business segment change is consistent with internal management structure and reporting changes effective for fiscal 2023. Prior periods were revised to reflect retrospective application of this segment realignment. As a result, the Group has determined that it has two operating segments as defined by ASC 280, “Segment Reporting”: consumer products and electric vehicles (“EV”). Consumer products segment manufactures, sell and trade Charcoal Doctor branded products and BBQ charcoal in China well as biodegradable packaging business. The EV segment manufactures and sell electric vehicles. Management, including the chief operating decision maker, reviews operation results of consumer products and EV segments separately. 

Adjustments and eliminations of inter-company transactions were not included in determining segment (loss) profit, as they are not used by the chief operating decision maker. The following table presents summary information by segment for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
