The Company is engaged in the business of wholesale distribution and retail sales of alcoholic beverages, including wine and distilled liquors, through its subsidiaries in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC” or “China”). On January 5, 2018, the Company changed its accounting fiscal year end from August 31 to December 31. On January 29, 2018, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment with the State of Nevada to increase its authorized shares of common stock from 75,000,000 to 3,000,000,000. On April 6, 2018, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement by and among DaXingHuaShang Investment Group Limited, a Republic of Seychelles limited liability company (“DIGLS”), and each of the shareholders of DIGLS, pursuant to which the Company issued 300,000,000 shares of common stock in exchange for 100% of the issued shares of DIGLS. This transaction was accounted for a reverse takeover transaction and a recapitalization of the Company whereby the Company, the legal acquirer, is the accounting acquiree, and DIGLS, the legal acquiree, is the accounting acquirer. Accordingly, the Company historical statement of stockholders’ equity has been retroactively restated to the first period presented. DIGLS was incorporated in the Republic of Seychelles on July 4, 2016, with an authorized capital of $100,000, divided into 250,000,000 ordinary shares, par value $0.0004 per share. DIGLS wholly owns DaXingHuaShang Investment (Hong Kong) Limited (“DILHK”), a company incorporated in Hong Kong on June 22, 2016 as an investment holding company with limited liability. DILHK was previously wholly owned by Mr. Yumin Lin, the Company’s Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, President, Treasurer and Secretary. On November 11, 2016, Mr. Yumin Lin transferred 100% of his ownership in DILHK to DIGLS for nominal consideration. DILHK wholly owns Qianhai DaXingHuaShang Investment (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. (“QHDX”), a PRC limited liability company formed on November 3, 2016 as a wholly foreign-owned enterprise. QHDX wholly owns Dongguan City France Vin Tout Ltd. (“FVTL”). FVTL was incorporated on May 31, 2011 in the PRC as a limited liability company. FVTL was previously owned and controlled by Mr. Yumin Lin. On November 20, 2016, Mr. Yumin Lin transferred his ownership in FVTL to QHDX for nominal consideration. The share transfers detailed above by and among Mr. Yumin Lin, DIGLS, DILHK, QHDX, and FVTL have been accounted for as a series of business combination of entities under common control. Accordingly, the values in these financial statements reflect the carrying values of those entities, and no goodwill was recorded as a result of these transactions. On March 1, 2019, the Company entered into a sale and purchase agreement (the “SP Agreement”) to acquire 100% of the shares of Jiujiu Group Stock Co., Ltd. (“JJGS”), a company incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Seychelles. The transaction contemplated in the SP Agreement was closed on March 1, 2019. Pursuant to the SP Agreement, the Company issued 100 shares of its common stock to JJGS to acquire 100% of the shares of JJGS for a cost of $150. After the closing, JJGS became the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary. JJGS owns all of the equity interests of Jiujiu (HK) Industry Limited (“JJHK”) and Jiujiu (Shenzhen) Industry Co., Ltd. (“JJSZ”). None of JJGS, JJHK and JJSZ have any operations or active business, nor do they have any substantial assets.

(“Makaweng” or “MKW”), a PRC limited liability company engaged in the business of distribution of wine and beer. Pursuant to the Makaweng Agreement, QHDX purchased 51% of Makaweng’s equity interests from Xingwen Wang in exchange for shares of our common stock (“Makaweng Issuable Shares”), the number of which is determined according to the following formula: Number of Makaweng Issuable Shares = A x 51% x 20 x B ÷ C For the purpose of the foregoing formula: A = Audited net annual profit of Makaweng in fiscal year 2020. B = The daily average middle exchange rate of U.S. Dollars to Chinese Yuan published by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange of the People’s Republic of China on December 31, 2020. C = The closing price of FVTI’s common stock on December 31, 2020. Mr. Wang has agreed not to transfer the Makaweng Issuable Shares for at least three years after delivery of the Makaweng Issuable Shares (the “Delivery”). He may only transfer up to 30% of his FVTI common stock during the fourth year after the Delivery and cumulatively no more than 60% of his FVTI common stock during the fifth year after the Delivery. The 51% of equity interest of Makaweng was transferred to QHDX and the registration of such transfer with local government authorities was completed on August 28, 2019.

It is agreed that the BTF Closing shall be conducted prior to the completion of an initial draft of the audited financial statements of BTF. According to the BTF Agreement, the total number of BTF Issuable Shares will be determined according to the following formula: Number of BTF Issuable Shares = X x 80% x 15 ÷ 3.02 ÷ Y For the purpose of the foregoing formula: X = Net profit of BTF during the period from October 1, 2019 to September 30, 2020. Y = 7:1, which is the exchange rate of U.S. Dollars to Chinese Yuan mutually agreed by the parties. Pursuant to the BTF Agreement, we will issue the BTF Issuable Shares to the BTF Seller within 30 business days after September 30, 2020 pursuant to a separate subscription agreement to be entered into by the Company and the BTF Seller or his designee.

In the event of a late payment of the consideration by QHDX or any delay in the registration of the BTF Equity Transfer with local government caused by the BTF Seller, a daily penalty of 0.05% of the outstanding payment is assessed.
