RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS | NOTE 10 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS The franchisees are related parties of the Company due to the nominal, symbolic equity interest ownership in the franchisees. The franchisees were originally incorporated with the Company shown as a 51.0% owner and subsequently as a 1.25% owner. The intent of having such ownership percentage in the franchisees was to enable the franchisees to register their respective individual business name to include the words “Jiuzi” as required by the local business bureau. Subsequent to the successful registration by the franchisees and completion of the Company’s obligations under the franchise and license agreement, the Company will decrease its ownership interest in these franchisees to 0%. The Company’s percentage of shareholding is nominal, inconsequential, and symbolic. The Company’s equity interest of 51.0% and 1.25% in the franchisees were symbolic in nature. The Company did not and does not control the franchisees, exert significant influence over the franchisees, have the power to direct the use of the franchisee’s assets and the fulfillment of their obligations, appoint or dismiss directors, authorized representatives, or executive officers of the franchisees. Management has also determined that the percentage shareholding in the franchisee is not compensatory to the Company in nature, and accordingly, would not be subject to consideration as income under revenue recognition criteria. The Company did not contribute any permanent equity capital in these franchisees and if these franchisees were to incur substantial losses and accumulate significant liabilities, the Company is not obligated to absorb such losses on behalf of the franchisees. Accordingly, the management has determined that the financial positions and results of operations of these franchisees should not be included as part of the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In addition, the Company did not and will not receive any actual ownership interest in the franchisees, nor receive any benefits from being a 51% or 1.25% owner in the franchisees. Any after tax profits generated by the franchisees that are potentially distributable to the Company are governed by the royalty agreements between the Company and the franchisee not the shareholding percentage. Accordingly, the management has determined that the ownership interest is not part of the initial franchise fee.
