HITEK GLOBAL INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2024 and 2023
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS
HiTek Global Inc. (“HiTek Global”) was incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands on November 3, 2017 in anticipation of an initial public offering. HiTek Global, through its variable interest entity (“VIE”) and VIE’s subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) provides hardware sales, software sales, information technology (“IT”) maintenance services and tax devices and services in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”).
On November 20, 2017, HiTek Global formed its wholly-owned subsidiary, HiTek Hong Kong Limited (“HiTek HK”) in Hong Kong. On March 15, 2018, HiTek HK formed its wholly-owned subsidiary, Tian Dahai (Xiamen) Information Technology Co. Ltd. (“WFOE”) in PRC.
Xiamen Hengda HiTek Computer Network Co., Ltd.
(“HiTek”), was established in January 1996 by Shenping Yin, Xiaoyang Huang (the spouse of Shenping Yin) and four other shareholders,
who held
In September 1999, Xiamen Huasheng HiTek Computer Network Co., Ltd (“Huasheng”), a wholly owned subsidiary of HiTek was incorporated under the laws of the PRC.
In September 2017, Huoerguosi Hengda Information Technology Co., Ltd (“Huoerguosi”), a wholly owned subsidiary of HiTek was established in XinJiang Province, PRC.
In April 2021, Xiamen Haitian Weilai Technology Co., Ltd. (“Haitian Weilai”), a wholly owned subsidiary of WFOE was incorporated under the laws of the PRC.
The Company’s current corporate structure is as follows:
F-6
As the abovementioned companies were under common control, the contractual arrangements between HiTek Global and HiTek in March 2018 constituted a reorganization under common control and were retroactively applied to the consolidated financial statements (“CFS”) at their historical amounts. The CFS are prepared as if the existing corporate structure had been in existence throughout all periods. This includes a retroactive presentation for all equity related disclosures, including share and per share data, which were revised to reflect the effects of the reorganization.
NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Financial Information
The condensed CFS as of June 30, 2024 and for the six months periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 are unaudited. The accompanying unaudited condensed CFS were prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial reporting. Operating results as presented are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for a full year.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed CFS include financial information for the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and those variable interest entities (“VIEs”) where the Company is the primary beneficiary.
VIE Agreements with HiTek
Due to PRC legal restrictions of foreign ownership in certain sectors, neither we nor our subsidiaries own any equity interest in HiTek. Instead, WFOE, HiTek and HiTek’s shareholders entered into a series of contractual arrangements (“VIE Agreements”) on March 31, 2018, which have not been tested in a court of law. The VIE Agreements by and among WFOE, HiTek, and HiTek’s shareholders include (i) power of attorney agreements and equity interest pledge agreement, which provide WFOE effective control over HiTek; (ii) an exclusive technical consulting and service agreement which allows WFOE to receive substantially all of the economic benefits from HiTek; and (iii) certain exclusive equity interest purchase agreements which provide WFOE an exclusive option to purchase all or part of the equity interests in and/or assets of HiTek when and to the extent permitted by PRC laws. Accordingly, the Company is considered the primary beneficiary of VIE for accounting purpose and has consolidated the VIE and the VIE’s subsidiaries’ assets, liabilities, results of operations, and cash flows in the accompanying CFS.
Each of the VIE Agreements is described in detail below:
Exclusive Technical Consulting and Service Agreement
Pursuant to the Exclusive Technical Consulting
and Service Agreement between HiTek and WFOE, WFOE provides HiTek technical support, consulting services and other management services
for its day-to-day business operations and management, on an exclusive basis. The Exclusive Technical Consulting and Service Agreement
came into effect as of March 31, 2018. For services rendered to HiTek by WFOE under this agreement, WFOE is entitled to collect a fee
that shall be paid per quarter of
Equity Interest Pledge Agreement
WFOE, HiTek and HiTek shareholders entered into an Equity Interest Pledge Agreement, pursuant to which HiTek shareholders pledged all of their equity interests in HiTek to WFOE to guarantee the performance of HiTek’s obligations under the Exclusive Technical Consulting and Service Agreement as described above. The Equity Interest Pledge Agreement came into effect as of March 31, 2018. During the term of the pledge, WFOE is entitled to receive any dividends declared on the pledged equity interests of HiTek. The Equity Interest Pledge Agreement ends when all contractual obligations under the Exclusive Technical Consulting and Service Agreement have been fully performed.
Exclusive Equity Interests Purchase Agreement
Under the Exclusive Equity Interests Purchase Agreement, the HiTek Shareholders granted WFOE (or its designee) an exclusive option to purchase, to the extent permitted under PRC law, part or all of their equity interests in HiTek. The option price is equal to the capital paid in by the HiTek Shareholders subject to any appraisal or restrictions required by applicable PRC laws and regulations. The Exclusive Equity Interests Purchase Agreement remains effective for a term of ten years and may be renewed at WFOE’s election.
Power of Attorney
Each shareholder of the HiTek executed an irrevocable power of attorney in favor of WFOE. Pursuant to this power of attorney, WFOE has full power and authority to exercise all of such shareholders’ rights with respect to their equity interest in the VIE Companies, including HiTek, Huasheng and Huoerguosi. The power of attorney will remain in force for so long as the shareholder remains a shareholder of HiTek.
F-7
During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and
2023, there were no transactions in HiTek Global Inc. and HiTek HK besides minimal capital transactions, professional fee payments and
interest income. As of June 30, 2024, the VIEs accounted for
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of the unaudited condensed CFS in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed CFS and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Company’s unaudited condensed CFS include allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory obsolescence, deferred taxes, and the useful lives of property and equipment. Since the use of estimates is an integral component of the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair Values of Financial Instruments
The U.S. GAAP regarding fair value (“FV”) of financial instruments and related FV measurements define FV, establish a three-level valuation hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring FV.
The three levels of inputs are defined 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, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable.
ASC 825-10 “Financial Instruments”, allows entities to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at FV (FV option). The FV option may be elected on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable, unless a new election date occurs. If the FV option is elected for an instrument, unrealized gains and losses for that instrument are reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The Company did not elect to apply the FV option to any outstanding instruments.
The carrying amounts in the consolidated balance sheets for cash, accounts receivable, accounts receivable – related party, advances to suppliers, deferred offering costs, prepaid expenses and other, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, income taxes payable, VAT and other taxes payable, and due to related parties approximate their FV based on the short-term maturity of these instruments.
The Company’s investments measured at FV on a recurring basis consist of trading securities and held-to-maturity debt securities. The valuation for the Level 1 position is based on quoted prices in active markets. For detailed information, please see “NOTE 3 – INVESTMENTS.”
Earnings Per Share (“EPS”)
Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares and dilutive potential ordinary shares outstanding during the period.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, there were no other contracts to issue options, warrants or conversion rights, which would have a dilutive effect on EPS.
Cash
Cash consists of cash on hand and in banks. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash with financial institutions in the PRC. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 (audited), cash balances held in PRC banks are uninsured. The Company has not experienced any losses in bank accounts during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.
F-8
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Currently, all of the Company’s operations are in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic, and legal environment 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 the United States of America. 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.
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, short-term investments, trade accounts receivable, and accounts receivable from related parties and advances to suppliers. A portion of the Company’s sales are credit sales which are to the customers whose ability to pay is dependent upon the industry economics prevailing in these areas; however, concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivables is limited due to generally short payment terms. The Company also performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers to help further reduce credit risk.
Investments
Short-term investments consist of trading stock and debt securities, which include mutual funds and wealth management products issued by commercial banks with maturity within one year. Considering the Company’s short-term investments are liquid in nature, changes in the FV and related transactions of short-term investments are presented as operating activities in the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows. Long-term investments include mutual funds and wealth management products with maturity over one year. The Company accounts for investments in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 320 “Investments — Debt and Equity Securities.” Dividend and interest income, including amortization of the premium and discount arising at acquisition, for all categories of investments in securities is included in unaudited condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Net realized and unrealized holding gains and losses for investments are included in unaudited condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
If a security is acquired with the intent of selling it within days, it is classified as a trading security. The Company classifies investments in trading stock and mutual funds as trading securities. Unrealized holding gains and losses for trading securities are included in earnings.
If the Company has positive intent and ability to hold to maturity, the security is classified as a held-to-maturity security. The Company classifies investments in wealth management products as held-to-maturity securities as it intends to hold these investments until maturity. The investments in wealth management products are valued at carrying value, which approximates the amortized cost. For individual securities classified as held-to-maturity securities, the Company evaluates whether a decline in FV below the amortized cost basis is other-than-temporary, in accordance with ASC 320. Other-than-temporary impairment loss is recognized in earnings equal to the excess of the debt security’s amortized cost basis over its FV at the balance sheet date of the reporting period for which the assessment is made.
Advance from Private Placement
In June 2024, pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement dated June
11, 2024, by and between the Company and eight investors to purchase (a)
Expected Credit Losses
The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses in accordance with ASC 326 and records the allowance for credit losses as an offset to assets such as accounts receivable, etc., and the estimated credit losses charged to the allowance are classified as general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The Company assesses collectability by reviewing receivables on a collective basis where similar characteristics exist, primarily based on the size and nature of specific customers’ receivables. In determining the amount of the allowance for credit losses, the Company considers historical collectability based on past due status, the age of the receivable balances, credit quality of the Company’s customers based on ongoing credit evaluations, current economic conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions, and other factors that may affect the Company’s ability to collect from customers. Bad debts are written off as incurred.
F-9
Advances to Suppliers
Advances to suppliers are amounts prepaid to suppliers for purchases of inventories and outsourced software services. In evaluating the recoverability of such advances, the Company mainly considers the age of the balance and the ability of the suppliers to perform the related obligations.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (weighted average basis) or net realizable value. The methods of determining inventory costs are used consistently from year to year. Allowance for inventory obsolescence is provided when the market value of certain inventory items is lower than the cost.
Property, Equipment and Software
Property, equipment and software are carried at cost and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The cost of repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred; major replacements and improvements are capitalized. When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are included in the statement of operations in the year of disposition. The Company examines the possibility of decreases in the value of property, equipment and software, when events or changes in circumstances reflect the fact that their recorded value may not be recoverable.
| Classification | Estimated useful lives | |
| Furniture and office equipment | ||
| Computer equipment | ||
| Transportation equipment | ||
| Buildings and improvements | ||
| Software |
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
In accordance with ASC Topic 360, the Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the asset’s estimated FV and its book value. The Company did not record any impairment charge during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.
Revenue Recognition
The Company follows ASU 2014-09, Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” and its related amendments (collectively referred to as “ASC 606”) for its revenue recognition accounting policy that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In accordance with ASC 606, revenue is recognized when all of the following five steps are met: (i) identify the contract(s) with the customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations; (v) recognize revenue when (or as) each performance obligation is satisfied.
The Company generates revenues primarily from three sources: (1) hardware sales, (2) software sales, and (3) tax devices and services. The Company recognizes revenue when performance obligations under the terms of a contract with its customers are satisfied. This occurs when the control of the goods and services have been transferred to the customer.
F-10
Hardware sales
Hardware revenues are primarily from the sale of computer and network hardware to end users. The products include computers, printers, internet cables, certain internet servers, cameras and monitors. Sales of hardware have a single performance obligation. The Company recognizes revenue when ownership is transferred to end customers. The Company’s revenue from sales of hardware is reported on a gross basis since the Company is primarily obligated in the transaction, bears inventory and credit risk and has discretion to establish prices.
Software sales
HiTek also makes software sales and focuses on perpetual license sales for a self-developed software Communication Interface System (“CIS”). CIS is based on LINUX, which is a general embedded interface system used by petrochemical and coal companies. The system is used to communicate the RCTX-X module, collect the work diagram, the electricity diagram, the pressure temperature and other measures, and can extract the data and import it to the software of the windows platform to display analysis.
Performance Obligations - Software contracts with customers include multiple performance obligations such as sale of software license, installation of software, operation training service and warranty. The installation and operation training are essential to the functionality of the software which are provided to the clients prior to the acceptance of the software. The Company provides a-year warranty which mainly is for telephone supports. The Company estimates that costs associated with warranty are de minimis to the overall contract. Therefore, the Company does not allocate transaction price.
The Company recognizes revenue from software sales when the software is accepted by the customer.
Tax Devices and Services
Before January 21, 2021, all VAT general taxpayer businesses in China were required to purchase the Anti-Counterfeiting Tax Control System (“ACTCS” or Golden Tax Disk or GTD) tax devices to issue the VAT Invoice and for quarterly VAT filing. HiTek is authorized to carry out the implementation of ACTCS specialty hardware retailing. The price of GTD and related supporting services is determined by the National Development and Reform Commission. From January 21, 2021, new taxpayers can receive electronic tax control Ukey for free from the tax authority. HiTek could provide supporting services to the new taxpayers. From 2023, Xiamen Taxation Bureau implemented the use of electronic invoices to replace the traditional tax control system. Enterprises can use a free electronic invoice platform provided by the tax bureau, which has had a significant impact on the Company’s business.
Performance Obligations - Tax devices and services contracts with customers include multiple performance obligations such as delivery of products, installation and after-sales supporting services, tax control system risk investigation service, and tax invoicing management service, such as training service on issuing electronic invoice, complete tax declaration automatically and back up data online.
Revenue from the sales of GTD devices is recognized when ownership is transferred to end customers. The Company provides after-sales supporting services for tax device and tax invoicing management service, charging the service fee on an annual basis because the service period is usually one year. Revenue from its service is recognized as the services are performed and amounts are earned, using the straight-line method over the term of the related services agreement. The Company also charges a one-time service charge for each investigation request. Revenue from tax control system risk investigation service is recognized when the services are performed. Revenue is recognized based on each performance obligation’s standalone selling price that is sold separately and charged to customers at contract inception.

Contract balances
Prepayments from customers prior to the services being performed are recorded as deferred revenue. Deferred revenue consists of annual service fees for GTD and tax invoicing management service. The Company recognizes the service fees as revenue on a straight-line basis in accordance with the service periods.
Practical expedients and exemptions
The Company generally expenses sales commissions as incurred because the amortization period would have been one year or less.
Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue consists of the annual service
fees for GTD received from customers for which the services have not yet been performed. The Company recognizes the service amount as
revenue on a straight-line basis in accordance with the service periods. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company
recognized revenue of $
Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues is comprised of (i) the direct cost of our hardware products purchased from third parties; (ii) logistics-related costs, which include product packaging and freight-in charges; (iii) third-party royalties for the GTD; and (iv) compensation for employees who handle the products and other costs necessary to provide the services to our customers.

Selling expenses consists of shipping and handling costs for products sold and advertising and marketing expenses for promotion of our products.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses consist of salary and welfare for our general administrative and management staff, facilities costs, depreciation and amortization, professional fees, accounting fees, meals and entertainment, utilities, expenses for public offering, and other miscellaneous expenses incurred in connection with general operations. All depreciation and amortization was recorded in general and administrative expenses because fixed assets are mainly for sales and administrative purposes.
Government Subsidies
Subsidies are given by the government to mainly support the Company for the increase in production and social insurance compensation for rural laborers. Subsidies are recognized as government subsidies income in the consolidated statements of operations when received.
Research and Development Expenses
The Company follows FASB ASC 985-20, Cost of Software to Be Sold, Leased or Marketed, regarding software development costs to be sold, leased, or otherwise marketed. FASB ASC 985-20-25 requires research and development (“R&D”) costs for software development to be expensed as incurred until the software model is technologically feasible. Technological feasibility is established when the enterprise has completed all planning, designing, coding, testing, and identification of risks activities necessary to establish that the product can be produced to meet its design specifications, features, functions, technical performance requirements. Some judgment and estimation is required to assess when technological feasibility Is established, as well as the ongoing assessment of the recoverability of capitalized costs. The Company’s products reach technological feasibility shortly before the products are released and sold to the public. Therefore, R&D costs are generally expensed as incurred.
F-12
Income Taxes
The Company is governed by the Income Tax Law of the PRC. The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset/liability method prescribed by ASC 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be in effect in the period in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to offset deferred tax assets if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized as income or loss in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company applies ASC 740-10-50, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” which provides clarification related to the process associated with accounting for uncertain tax positions recognized in the Company’s CFS. Audit periods remain open for review until the statute of limitations has passed. The completion of review or the expiration of the statute of limitations for a given audit period could result in an adjustment to the Company’s liability for income taxes. Any such adjustment could be material to the Company’s results of operations for any given quarterly or annual period based, in part, upon the results of operations for the given period.
Value Added Taxes (“VAT”)
VAT is reported as a deduction of revenue when incurred. Entities that are VAT general taxpayers are allowed to offset qualified input VAT paid to suppliers against their output VAT liabilities. Net VAT balance between input VAT and output VAT is recorded in taxes payable.
Foreign Currency Translation
The functional currency of the Company’s operations in the PRC is the Chinese Yuan or Renminbi (“RMB”). The CFS are translated to U.S. dollars using the period end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, equity is translated at historical exchange rates, and average rates of exchange (for the period) are used for revenues and expenses and cash flows. As a result, amounts relating to assets and liabilities reported on the statements of cash flows may not necessarily agree with the changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheets. Translation adjustments resulting from the process of translating the local currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in determining comprehensive income / loss. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing on the transaction dates. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date with any transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred.
All of the Company’s revenue transactions are transacted in its functional currency. The Company does not enter into any material transaction in foreign currencies. Transaction gains or losses have not had, and are not expected to have, a material effect on the results of operations of the Company.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Comprehensive income is comprised of net income and all changes to the statements of shareholders’ equity, except those due to investments by shareholders and changes in paid-in capital. For the Company, comprehensive income (loss) for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 consisted of net income and unrealized loss from foreign currency translation adjustment.
Related Parties
A party is considered related to the Company if it directly or indirectly or through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. A party which can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or if it has an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests is also a related party.
Leases
The Company follows ASC 842 in accounting for its operating leases. The Company recognizes right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets for office and warehouse space leases. At the commencement of a lease, the Company recognizes a lease liability for future fixed lease payments and a ROU asset for the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term. The lease liability is initially measured as the present value of the future fixed lease payments that will be made over the lease term. The lease term includes periods for which it’s reasonably certain that the renewal options will be exercised and periods for which it’s reasonably certain the termination options will not be exercised. The future fixed lease payments are discounted using the rate implicit in the lease, if available, or the incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”). The Company will evaluate the carrying value of ROU assets if there are indicators of impairment and review the recoverability of the related asset group. If the carrying value of the asset group is determined to not be recoverable and is in excess of the estimated FV, the Company will record an impairment loss in other expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.
The Company does not record assets and liabilities on its consolidated balance sheet for new or existing lease arrangements with terms of 12 months or less. The Company recognizes lease expenses for such lease on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires disaggregated information about an entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation and additional discloses on income taxes paid. The new requirements are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The guidance is to be applied prospectively, with an option for retrospective application. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance on disclosures within its CFS.
The Company does not believe other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on its unaudited condensed CFS.

NOTE 19 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCY
Contingencies
The Company may be involved in various legal proceedings, claims and other disputes arising from the commercial operations, projects, employees and other matters which, in general, are subject to uncertainties and in which the outcomes are not predictable. The Company determines whether an estimated loss from a contingency should be accrued by assessing whether a loss is deemed probable and can be reasonably estimated. As of June 30, 2024, the Company was not aware of any litigation or proceedings against it.
Risks in relation to the VIE structure
It is possible the Company’s operations and businesses through its VIE could be found by PRC authorities to violate PRC law and regulations prohibiting or restricting foreign ownership of companies that engage in such operations and businesses. While the Company’s management considers the possibility of such a finding by PRC regulatory authorities under current law and regulations remote, on January 19, 2015, the Ministry of Commerce of the PRC, or (the “MOFCOM”) released on its Website for public comment a proposed PRC law (the “Draft FIE Law”) that appears to include VIEs within the scope of entities that could be considered foreign invested enterprises (or “FIEs”) that would be subject to restrictions under existing PRC law on foreign investment in certain categories of industry. Specifically, the Draft FIE Law introduces the concept of “actual control” for determining whether an entity is considered to be an FIE. In addition to control through direct or indirect ownership or equity, the Draft FIE Law includes control through contractual arrangements within the definition of “actual control.” If the Draft FIE Law is passed by the People’s Congress of the PRC and goes into effect in its current form, these provisions regarding control through contractual arrangements could be construed to reach the Company’s VIE arrangements, and as a result the Company’s VIE could become subject to the current restrictions on foreign investment in certain categories of industry. If a finding were made by PRC authorities, under existing law and regulations or under the Draft FIE Law if it becomes effective, about the Company’s operation of certain of its operations and businesses through its VIEs, regulatory authorities with jurisdiction over the licensing and operation of such operations and businesses would have broad discretion in dealing with such a violation, including levying fines, confiscating the Company’s income, revoking the business or operating licenses of the affected businesses, requiring the Company to restructure its ownership structure or operations, or requiring the Company to discontinue all or any portion of its operations. Any of these actions could cause significant disruption to the Company’s business operations, and have a severe adverse impact on the Company’s cash flows, financial position and operating performance.
F-23
In addition, it is possible the contracts among WFOE, HiTek and HiTek’s shareholders would not be enforceable in China if PRC government authorities or courts found that such contracts contravene PRC laws and regulations or are otherwise not enforceable for public policy reasons. If the Company was unable to enforce these contractual arrangements, the Company would not be able to exert effective control over the VIEs. Consequently, the VIEs’ results of operations, assets and liabilities would not be included in the Company’s CFS. If such were the case, the Company’s cash flows, financial position, and operating performance would be materially adversely affected. The Company’s contractual arrangements WFOE, HiTek and HiTek’s shareholders are approved and in place. Management believes such contracts are enforceable, and considers the possibility remote that PRC regulatory authorities with jurisdiction over the Company’s operations and contractual relationships would find the contracts to be unenforceable.
The Company’s operations and businesses rely on the operations and businesses of its VIEs, which hold certain recognized revenue-producing assets. The VIEs also have an assembled workforce, focused primarily on R&D, whose costs are expensed as incurred. The Company’s operations and businesses may be adversely impacted if the Company loses the ability to use and enjoy assets held by its VIE.
VIEs are generally entities that lack sufficient equity to finance their activities without additional financial support from other parties or whose equity holders lack adequate decision-making ability. All VIEs and their subsidiaries of the Company must be evaluated to determine the primary beneficiary of the risks and rewards of the VIE. The primary beneficiary is required to consolidate the VIE for financial reporting purposes.

We have the following three revenue streams - hardware retail and wholesale, software sales, and Anti-Counterfeiting Tax Control System (“ACTCS”) sales and services. The hardware sales decrease was mainly due to the sluggish economic environment. CIS software sales consist of software sales and services. CIS software sales increased mainly due to the increase of software sales to large customers. Tax devices and service sales decreased due to new policies that Xiamen tax authorities implemented replacing electronic invoicing system from the prior tax control system. The Company expects to research and develop a new invoice system, which will be more suitable for enterprises than the free electronic invoice platform provided by the tax authorities.
Cost of revenues and profit margin for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:

| Profit margin | 52.0 | % | 50.9 | % | 1.1 | % | - | |||||||||
Cost of revenues (“COR”) comprise mainly of (i) direct cost of our hardware products purchased from third parties; (ii) logistics-related costs, which primarily include product packaging and freight-in charges; (iii) third-party royalties paid to the GTD (iv) compensation for employees who handle the products and perform Tax invoicing management services and other costs that are necessary for us to provide the services to our customers; and (v) outsourcing costs, which primarily include software outsourcing service cost to third parties.
This decrease in COR was due mainly to the decrease in hardware sales and tax devices and service sales.
Profit margin. Despite the decline in our total revenues, we maintained our profit margin during the six months ended June 30, 2024. Our profit margin increased to 52.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 from 50.9% for the comparable period in 2023. The margin improvement was due mainly to the change in our revenue-mix as a larger portion of our revenues came from software sales, which has a higher profit margin compared to other revenue streams. In light of declining hardware sales and sale of tax device and services, the Company will continue to focus on developing projects with high profit margin, such as services for SMEs, and at the same time, increase the hardware and software sales to large customers.
Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:

| Operating expenses | $ | 1,325,264 | $ | 991,579 | $ | 333,685 | 33.7 | % | ||||||||
Selling Expenses. Selling expenses consist primarily of shipping and handling costs for products sold and advertisement and marketing expenses for promotion of our products. Selling expenses were 0.5% of total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 0.01% of total revenues in the comparable period of 2023. We plan to continue to conduct marketing activities to attract new purchases from new and existing customers.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses (“G&A”) consist primarily of salary and welfare expenses for our general administrative and management staff, facilities costs, depreciation, professional fees, accounting fees, director and officers liability insurance and other miscellaneous expenses incurred in connection with general operations. The increase was mainly due to the increase of consulting fees for financing, approximately $252,000. The Company expects to decrease the ratio of G&A expenses to revenue in the future.

Operating (loss) income. The decrease in operating income in 2024 was primarily due to the decrease in revenues and increase of G&A expenses.
Other income. Other income includes government subsidy income, net investment gain (loss), and interest income and expenses. The increase was primarily due to the increase of interest income from loans receivable and increase of net investment gain.
Income tax expense. The decrease in income tax expense was due primarily to the decrease in gross profit and the increase in operating expenses.
Effective tax rate. Effective tax rate was 58.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 34.4% for the comparable period of 2023.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2023
Our principal sources of liquidity come from cash from operating activities, equity financing and loans. As of June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, we had cash of $7,216,058 and $9,311,537, respectively.
Working Capital. Total working capital as of June 30, 2024 was $31,870,233 compared to $21,413,847 as of December 31, 2023. The increase in current assets was mainly due to the increase in short-term investment of $9,302,000, loans receivable of $4,267,450, prepaid expenses and other current assets of $1,561,775, partially offset by the decrease of cash of $2,095,479, accounts receivable, net of $180,547, advance of suppliers, net of $320,071 and inventories, net of $26,822. The increase in current liabilities was mainly due to the increase in accounts payable of $67,676, loans payable of $2,052,456, accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $83,052, partially offset by the advances from customers of $2,983, deferred revenue of $101,756 and tax payable of $43,216.
Capital Resources and Capital Needs. To date, we have financed our operations primarily through cash flows from operations, third-party loans, stock offering and private placement. With the current market, our management believes it is necessary to enhance collection of outstanding accounts and other receivables, and be cautious on operational decisions and project selection. Our management believes our current operations can satisfy our daily working capital needs. We expect to incur additional capital expenditures for research and development of software, recruiting additional employees, and enhancing our information technology system. We intend to fund these planned expenditures with our operating cash flow and our cash balance, as well as net proceeds received from our initial public offering (“IPO”) in April 2023 and private placement in July 2024.
