GENERAL INFORMATION
All references in this Transition Report on Form 20-F, or the Transition Report, to “Moxian,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Moxian (BVI) Inc, or its predecessor, Moxian, Inc., as the case may be, and its consolidated subsidiaries, except as otherwise noted.
PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL AND OTHER INFORMATION
The consolidated financial statement data as of December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020 and 2019, and for the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, have been derived from our unaudited consolidated financial statements, as presented elsewhere in this Transition Report, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or U.S. GAAP, as issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB. All references in this Transition Report to “$” are to U.S. dollars.
Explanatory Note
As previously disclosed, on August 16, 2021, the Company’s predecessor, Moxian, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Moxian Nevada”), completed a redomicile merger to reorganize as a British Virgin Islands company pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated May 28, 2021, whereby it merged with and into the Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of Moxian Nevada, with the Company surviving the merger. Prior to the merger, the board of directors of Moxian Nevada approved a change in the fiscal year-end of Moxian Nevada from September 30 to December 31 in connection with the reorganization. The purpose for the fiscal year change was to adopt the Company’s December 31 fiscal year-end upon consummation of the merger.
On August 16, 2021, the Board of Directors of the Company ratified December 31 as the post-reorganization fiscal year-end of the Company. As a result, the Company is required to file this Transition Report on Form 20-F for the transition period from October 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020. The Company’s next fiscal year ended on December 31, 2021. The Company notes that this Transition Report on Form 20-F is filed pursuant to Rule 13a-10(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which permits the Company to respond to only Items 5, 8.A.7., 13, 14 and 17 or 18 of Form 20-F.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Matters discussed in this Transition Report may constitute forward-looking statements. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, or the PSLRA, provides safe harbor protections for forward-looking statements in order to encourage companies to provide prospective information about their business. Forward-looking statements include statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance, and underlying assumptions and other statements, which are other than statements of historical facts.
The Company desires to take advantage of the safe harbor provisions of the PSLRA and is including this cautionary statement in connection with this safe harbor legislation. This Transition Report and any other written or oral statements made by us or on our behalf may include forward-looking statements, which reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. When used in this Transition Report, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “project,” “plan,” “potential,” “may,” “should,” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements.
The forward-looking statements in this Transition Report are based upon various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions, including without limitation, management’s examination of historical operating trends, data contained in our records and other data available from third parties. Although we believe that these assumptions were reasonable when made, because these assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies that are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond our control, we cannot assure you that we will achieve or accomplish these expectations, beliefs or projections.
Any forward-looking statements contained herein are made only as of the date of this Transition Report, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement or statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all or any of these factors. Further, we cannot assess the impact of each such factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to be materially different from those contained in any forward-looking statement.

PART I
ITEM 5. OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS
Introduction
The following discussion provides a review of the performance of our operations for the three-month periods ended December 31, 2019 and 2020. The consolidated financial statements present the operations, cash flows and shareholders’ equity for the three month period ended December 31, 2020 . All dollar amounts referred to in this management’s discussion and analysis are expressed in United States dollars except where indicated otherwise.
The following discussion of the results of our operations and our financial condition should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes to those statements included in “Item 18. Financial Statements”. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors.
Overview
We have operated in the O2O (“Online-to-Offline”) business since the inception of the Company until the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018. We developed an online platform for small and medium sized enterprises (“SMEs”) with physical stores to conduct business online, interact with existing customers and obtain new customers. We developed products and services designed to allow our clients to conduct targeted advertising campaigns and promotions and attract potential customers.
However, due to a highly competitive market, and the slow development of our products, we had continued to incur losses in every fiscal year since inception. By September 30, 2018, we had run out of funds and the shareholders of the Company were not prepared to give further financial support. The Company decided to continue its operations in digital advertising but temporarily halt the operation of its App until its financial situation improved. The Company subsequently had operated as a general agent for the Xinhua App, of which the Company had exclusive agreements to operate the Games Channel on its app.
Going Concern
In assessing the Company’s liquidity and its ability to continue as a going concern, the Company monitors and analyzes its cash and cash equivalents and its operating and capital expenditure commitments. The Company’s liquidity needs are to meet its working capital requirements, operating expenses and capital expenditure obligations.
If the Company is unable to obtain the necessary additional capital on a timely basis and on acceptable terms, it will be unable to implement its current plans for expansion, repay debt obligations or respond to competitive pressures. Any of these factors would have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations and raise substantial doubts about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements for the periods ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 have been prepared on a going concern basis and do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classifications of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic
In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) was first identified and has since spread rapidly globally. The outbreak of COVID-19 has resulted in quarantines, travel restrictions, and the temporary closure of offices and business facilities globally. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic. The pandemic has caused significant volatility in the PRC and international financial markets. From January 2020, worker absenteeism, quarantines and restrictions on our employees’ ability to work, office closures, and other travel or health-related restrictions in China caused material disruptions in our operations. We resumed normal operating hours beginning April 1, 2020. For the three months ended December 31, 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic had a material negative impact on the Company’s business and results of operations, because the Company’s major client in digital advertising, Beijing Bi Er, an e-Sports company, could not hold any large-scale events in China with mass participation by fans, enthusiast and the general public due to the fears of a COVID-19 outbreak. As of the date of this Report, the COVID-19 outbreaks in mainland China and Hong Kong are substantially under control. The extent of the impact on the Company’s fiscal year 2022 results will be dependent on future developments such as the length and severity of the pandemic, the potential resurgence of the pandemic, future government actions in response to the crisis and the overall impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global economy and capital markets, among many other factors, all of which remain uncertain and unpredictable. Given this uncertainty, we cannot be certain that we will be able to continue normal operations in the short or long term or that lingering effects of the COVID-19 outbreak in mainland China, Hong Kong and elsewhere will not have additional adverse effects on our business and operations.
Recent Developments
The Company intends to diversify its operations and increase its revenue base by entering into the bitcoin mining business. The Company entered into a share purchase agreement with certain accredited investors on December 6, 2021 to obtain additional funding through a private placement, which placement has been completed as of the date of this report. The Company’s wholly owned Hong Kong subsidiary, Woodland Corporation Limited, will acquire certain bitcoin mining equipment and assets pursuant to an asset purchase agreement dated December 6, 2021. A portion of the proceeds from the private placement will be used to fund the bitcoin mining asset acquisition and the remaining proceeds will be used for working capital purposes.
Operating Results
For the three months ended December 31, 2020 compared with the three months ended December 31, 2019
The Company recorded no revenue in the quarter ended December 31, 2020 because its major client in digital advertising, Beijing Bi Er, which is an e-Sports company, could not hold any large-scale events in China with mass participation by fans, enthusiast and the general public due to the fears of a COVID-19 outbreak. Although COVID-19 infections were generally under control in China, there were periodic clusters of the virus infections from time to time. The Company continued to maintain a skeletal staff of 11 but outsourced specialist services whenever required.
In the quarter ended December 31, 2019, the Company developed various initiatives for Beijing Bi Er and could bill them on several projects.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Use of estimates
The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates required to be made by management include but not limited to, useful lives of property and equipment, intangible assets valuation, inventory valuation and deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassification

Going Concern
As explained in Note 1, the Company has been restricted to a single line of business since September 30, 2018.
In assessing the Company’s liquidity and its ability to continue as a going concern, the Company monitors and analyzes its cash and cash equivalents and its operating and capital expenditure commitments. The Company’s liquidity needs are to meet its working capital requirements, operating expenses and capital expenditure obligations.
If the Company is unable to obtain the necessary additional capital on a timely basis and on acceptable terms, it will be unable to implement its current plans for expansion, repay debt obligations or respond to competitive pressures. Any of these factors would have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations and raise substantial doubts about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements for the periods ended December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020 have been prepared on a going concern basis and do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classifications of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

Risks and Uncertainties
The Company’s operations are substantially carried out in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be substantially influenced by the political, economic and legal environments in the PRC, and by the general state of the PRC’s economy. The Company’s operations in the PRC are subject to specific considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environments and foreign currency exchange. The Company’s results may be adversely affected 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.
Since September 30, 2018 the Company’s operations have been carried out in its Beijing subsidiary, Moxian Beijing, whereas the intermediate holding company in Hong Kong, Moxian HK, provides support for the treasury and corporate functions. All other companies of the Group are dormant and have no business operations.
Fair value of financial instruments
The Company follows the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.” ASC 820 clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1-Observable inputs such as unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date.
Level 2-Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities 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 are unobservable inputs which reflect management’s assumptions based on the best available information.
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, prepayments, deposits and other receivables, Value added tax recoverable, accruals and other payables, loans from related parties and stock subscription payable approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.
Use of estimates
The preparation of the 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 disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates required to be made by management include but not limited to, useful lives of property and equipment, intangible assets valuation, inventory valuation and deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Property and Equipment, net
Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Significant additions or improvements extending useful lives of assets are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives as follows:
Schedule of Straight-line Method Over Estimated Useful Lives
| Electronic equipment | ||
| Furniture and fixtures | ||
| Leasehold improvements |
Impairment of long-lived assets
The Company classifies its long-lived assets into: (i) computer and office equipment; (ii) furniture and fixtures, (iii) leasehold improvements, and (iv) finite-lived intangible assets.
Long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be fully recoverable. It is possible that these assets could become impaired as a result of technology, economy or other industry changes. If circumstances require a long-lived asset or asset group to be tested for possible impairment, the Company first compares undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by that asset or asset group to its carrying value. If the carrying value of the long-lived asset or asset group is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, impairment is recognized to the extent that the carrying value exceeds its fair value. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow models, relief from royalty income approach, quoted market values and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary.
The Company makes various assumptions and estimates regarding estimated future cash flows and other factors in determining the fair values of the respective assets. The assumptions and estimates used to determine future values and remaining useful lives of long-lived assets are complex and subjective. They can be affected by various factors, including external factors such as industry and economic trends, and internal factors such as the Company’s business strategy and its forecasts for specific market expansion.
Due to the continuing losses from operations with minimal revenues, the Company recorded a valuation reserve against its remaining intangible assets in 2018.

Revenue recognition
The Company currently recognizes revenue from the sale of merchandise through its online platforms. Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue is recorded on a gross basis, net of surcharges and value added tax (“VAT”). The Company recorded revenue on a gross basis because the Company has the following indicators for gross reporting: it is the primary obligor of the sales arrangements, is subject to inventory risks of physical loss, has latitude in establishing prices, has discretion in suppliers’ selection and assumes credit risks on receivables from customers.
Revenue from advertising is recognized as advertisements are displayed. Revenue from software development services comprises revenue from time and material and fixed price contracts. Revenue from time and material contracts are recognized as related services are performed. Revenue on fixed price contracts is recognized in accordance with percentage of completion method of accounting.
Income taxes
The Company utilizes ASC Topic 740 (“ASC 740”) “Income taxes”, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
ASC
740 “Income taxes” clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. This interpretation requires that an entity
recognizes in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely
than not of being sustained upon examination, based on the technical merits of the position.
As of December 31, 2020, the tax years ended December 31, 2011 through December 31, 2019 for the Company’s PRC entities remain open for statutory examination by the PRC tax authorities.
Foreign currency transactions and translation
The reporting currency of the Company is United States Dollars (the “USD”) and the functional currency of Moxian Beijing is Renminbi (the “RMB”) as China is the primary economic environment in which they operate. The functional currency of Moxian HK is the Hong Kong Dollar (the “HKD”).

Foreign currency transactions and translation (continued)
For financial reporting purposes, the financial statements of Moxian Beijing and Moxian HK, which are prepared using their respective functional currencies, are translated into the reporting currency, USD, so to be consolidated with the Company’s. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the reporting currency are translated into the reporting currency at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated using average rates prevailing during the reporting period. Adjustments resulting from the translation are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity (deficiency). Transaction gains and losses are recognized in the unaudited consolidated condensed statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
The exchange rates applied are as follows:

Research and Development
Research and development expenses include payroll, employee benefits, stock-based compensation expense, and other related expenses associated with product development. Research and development expenses also include third-party development, programming costs, and localization costs incurred to translate software for local markets. Such costs related to software development are included in research and development expense until the point that technological feasibility is reached. Once technological feasibility is reached, such costs are capitalized and amortized as part of the cost of revenue over the estimated lives of the product.

Recent accounting pronouncements
In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-04, Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The ASU provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens related to the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. The provisions of this ASU are only available until December 31, 2022, when the reference rate replacement activity is expected to be completed. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12: Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (Topic 740), which removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and improves consistent application of and simplifies GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 clarifying and amending existing guidance. This ASU is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract. The amendments align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). The accounting for the service element of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract is not affected by these amendments. The provisions may be adopted prospectively or retrospectively. This ASU is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans, which amends ASC 715 to add, remove, and clarify disclosure requirements related to defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans. The amendments require additional disclosure for the weighted-average interest crediting rates, a narrative description of the reasons for significant gains and losses, and an explanation of any other significant changes in the benefit obligation or plan assets. The amendment removes disclosure requirement for accumulated other comprehensive income expected to be recognized over the next year, information about plan assets to be returned to the entity, and the effects of a one-percentage-point change on the assumed health care costs and the effect of this change in rates on service cost, interest cost, and the benefit obligation for postretirement health care benefits. The ASU is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The ASU does not amend the interim disclosure requirements of ASC 715-20. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which amends ASC 820 to add and remove disclosure requirements related to fair value measurement. The amendments include new disclosure requirements for changes in unrealized gains or losses included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period and the range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements. The amendments eliminated disclosure requirements for amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements, and policy for timing of transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy. In addition, the amendments modified certain disclosure requirement to provide clarification or to promote appropriate exercise of discretion by entities. ASU 2018-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The FASB subsequently issued ASU 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments, ASU 2019-05”Financial Instruments-Credit Losses”, ASU 2019-11, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, and ASU 2020-02, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326) and Leases (Topic 842) to clarify and address certain items related to the amendments in ASU 2016-13. Topic 326 provides guidance for recognizing credit losses on financial instruments based on an estimate of current expected credit losses model. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
