NOTE
Entrepreneur Universe Bright Group, a Nevada corporation (“EUBG” or the “Company”), is not a Chinese operating company but a Nevada holding company. As a holding company with no material operations of our own, EUBG conducts all of its operations through its subsidiaries in Hong Kong and in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC” or “China”). Therefore our shareholders will not directly hold any equity interests in our Chinese operating subsidiaries. Unless otherwise mentioned or unless the context requires otherwise, when used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Form 10-Q”), the terms “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to EUBG and its consolidated subsidiaries, or any one or more of them as the context may require, “HK subsidiary” refers to Entrepreneurship World Technology Holding Group Company Limited, our wholly-owned subsidiary and a Hong Kong limited company, and “PRC subsidiary” refers to Xi’an Yunchuang Space Information Technology Co., Ltd., f/k/a Entrepreneurship World Consultants Limited, a wholly-foreign owned Chinese subsidiary of HK subsidiary. EUBG is a holding company for its operating subsidiaries.
We currently do not, and we do not plan to use variable interest entities (“VIE”) to execute our business plan or to conduct our China-based operations. We do not have any contractual arrangements between the holding company, the HK subsidiary, and the PRC subsidiary. EUBG is a Nevada holding company and does not have any substantive operations other than directly or indirectly holding the equity interest in our operating subsidiaries in Hong Kong and China. Therefore our shareholders will not directly hold any equity interests in our Chinese operating subsidiaries. Our holding company structure involves unique risks to investors. Chinese regulatory authorities could disallow our corporate structure, which would likely result in a material change in our operations and/or the value of the Company’s common stock, including that it could cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or become worthless.
To the extent you make any investment in our Company, it will be in EUBG, our holding company in Nevada, and not in our operating subsidiaries in Hong Kong or in China. Because substantially all of our operations are conducted in China through our PRC subsidiary, the PRC government may exercise significant oversight and discretion over the conduct of our business and may exert more supervision over our operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our operations and/or the value of the Company’s common stock. The PRC government could also significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to list and/or remain listed on a U.S. or other foreign exchange, and to offer future securities to investors and cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or be worthless.
There are significant legal and operational risks associated with being in and conducting a substantial portion of our operations in mainland China. PRC laws and regulations governing our current business operations and corporate structure are sometimes vague and uncertain, and we face the risk that changes in the PRC laws, regulations and policies, including how those laws, regulations and policies will be interpreted or implemented could have a significant impact upon the business we may be able to conduct in the PRC which would likely result in a material change in our operations and/or the value of the Company’s common stock, including that it could cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or become worthless. Furthermore, these risks may significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer our securities to investors in the future.
Recently, the PRC government has sought to exert more oversight and supervision over offerings that are conducted overseas and/or foreign investments in China based issuers. For example, the PRC government initiated a series of regulatory actions and made a number of public statements on the regulation of business operations in China, including cracking down on illegal activities in the securities market, enhancing supervision over China-based companies listed overseas using a VIE structure, adopting new measures to extend the scope of cybersecurity reviews, and expanding efforts in anti-monopoly enforcement. We may be subject to regulations relating to overseas securities offering and listing of China-based companies, including pursuant to the Opinions on Severely Cracking Down on Illegal Securities Activities According to Law issued by the PRC government authorities, which called for enhanced oversight of overseas listed companies as well as overseas equity fundraising and listing by Chinese companies, and proposed measures such as the construction of regulatory systems to deal with the risks and incidents faced by China-based overseas-listed companies; the Trial Administrative Measures of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies and the supporting guidelines issued by China Securities Regulatory Commission (the “CSRC”), which regulate overseas securities offering and listing activities by China-based companies; the draft Regulations on Network Data Security Management (the “Draft Regulation”) issued by the Cyberspace Administration of China(“CAC”), which requires, among other things, that a prior cybersecurity review be conducted by the Cybersecurity Review Office before listing overseas for data processors which process over one million users’ personal information, and for the listing in Hong Kong of data processors which affect or may affect national security; the Revised Cybersecurity Review Measures, jointly issued by the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the PRC, and several other administrations, which require, among other things, that a network platform operator holding over one million users’ personal information must apply with the Cybersecurity Review Office for a cybersecurity review before any public offering or listing outside of Chinese mainland and Hong Kong. Any future action by the PRC government expanding the categories of industries and companies whose foreign securities offerings are subject to government review could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and could cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or be worthless.
ii
As of the date of this filing, our operating subsidiaries have not been involved in any investigations on cybersecurity review initiated by the CAC based on the Measures for Cybersecurity Review (2021) and the Draft Regulation, and we have not received any inquiry, notice, warning, sanctions in such respect or any regulatory objections to this registration of our shares of common stock with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). However, it is still uncertain what existing or new laws or regulations will be modified or promulgated, or the potential impact such modified or new laws and regulations will have on our daily business operations or our ability to accept foreign investments and list on a U.S. exchange. If we are subject to such a probe or if we are required to comply with stepped-up supervisory requirements, valuable time from our management and money may be expended in complying and/or responding to the probe and requirements, thus diverting valuable resources and attention away from our operations. This may, in turn, negatively impact our operations.
As advised by our PRC legal counsel, we need to file with the CSRC within three business days after our application for overseas listing in a new capital market is submitted. As of the date of this filing, nor have we, or our subsidiaries, applied for or received any denial for the registration of our shares of common stock with the SEC. However, The General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the General Office of the State Council jointly issued the “Opinions on Severely Cracking Down on Illegal Securities Activities According to Law,” or the Opinions, which was made available to the public on July 6, 2021. The Opinions emphasized the need to strengthen the administration over illegal securities activities, and the need to strengthen the supervision over overseas listings by Chinese companies. Effective measures, such as promoting the construction of relevant regulatory systems will be taken to deal with the risks and incidents of China-concept overseas listed companies, and cybersecurity and data privacy protection requirements and similar matters. The Opinions and any related implementing rules to be enacted may subject us to compliance requirement in the future. On February 17, 2023, the CSRC issued the Trial Administrative Measures of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies and five supporting guidelines which became effective on June 30, 2023. Thus, we are required to file with the CSRC within three business days after our application for overseas listing in a new capital market is submitted. Failure to perform our filing obligations may result in penalties imposed on the Company and responsible officers. In addition, we shall report to the CSRC upon occurrence of certain material events after our listing on the stock exchange outside of Chinese Mainland, including change of control, investigations or sanctions imposed by overseas securities regulatory authorities, change of listing status or transfer of listing segment, and voluntary or mandatory delisting. Given the current regulatory environment in the PRC, we are still subject to the uncertainty of interpretation and enforcement of the rules and regulations in the PRC, which can change quickly with little advance notice, and any future actions of the PRC authorities. We cannot assure you that relevant PRC government agencies would reach the same conclusion as we do or as advised by our PRC legal counsel. However, (i) if we inadvertently concluded that no other permissions, approvals or filings are required, or (ii) if the CSRC, the CAC or other regulatory PRC agencies later promulgate new rules requiring that we obtain their approvals or finish other procedures to issue the Company’s common stock to foreign investors, and we are unable to obtain a waiver of such requirements, if and when procedures are established to obtain such a waiver, then we may not be able to issue our shares. In addition, any uncertainties and/or negative publicity regarding such requirements could have a material adverse effect on the trading price of our securities.
The PRC laws and regulations and government policy changes rapidly on digital training. For our digital training related services, we worked with Beida Jade Bird Vocational Education (“Jade Bird”) which was an authorized licensee of China National Personal Talent Training Network (“CNPTTN”), a PRC regulatory agency for the talent training. Jade Bird was in charge of its training courses, and the Company was authorized by Jade Bird as its sole training related administrator of the key opinion leader (KOL) training courses and to coordinate the digital training related services to individual clients who were interested in becoming KOL conducting live-broadcasting business through social media. The Company provided training related services, to these individual clients who subscribed courses, in arranging the examination, following up certificate issuance processes, addressing clients’ concerns, etc. On March 22, 2022, the PRC subsidiary learned that Jade Bird suspended its service after receiving a notice from CNPTTN and that until further notice CNPTTN has suspended all recruitment services using its CNPTTN’s name. As a result of CNPTTN’s suspension, on March 22, 2022, our PRC subsidiary has also suspended its digital training related services with Jade Bird. As it is highly unlikely that such digital training services by the Company will resume in the foreseeable future, the Company has refunded all advance payments made by clients who were unable to receive such training-related services. If we were to resume KOL related training services in the future, laws and regulations and the CNPTTN may require our PRC subsidiary to meet additional requirements or obtain additional approvals, licenses or permits to conduct KOL training related business. If our PRC subsidiary is unable to meet the relevant requirements or obtain the relevant approvals, licenses or permits, our PRC subsidiary may not be able to continue to conduct the KOL training related business. As of the date of this report, there is no further notice from CNPTTN and the service is still being suspended. Other than the above, we and our subsidiaries are currently not required to obtain permission from any of the PRC authorities to operate its principal business. We cannot assure you that relevant PRC government agencies would reach the same conclusion as we do. If (i) we and our PRC legal counsel inadvertently concluded that such permissions or approvals are not required, or (ii) the relevant regulatory PRC agencies later promulgate new rules requiring that we obtain their approvals to operate our business, and we are unable to obtain approval or a waiver of such approval requirements, any uncertainties and/or negative publicity regarding such an approval requirement could have a material adverse effect on our business operation and the trading price of our securities.
iii
Although we concluded that we and our subsidiaries are currently not required to obtain permission from any of the PRC central or local government and that we have not received any denial to registration on the OTC market or to conduct our business operations, if (x) we inadvertently conclude that such approvals are not required when they are, (y) we do not receive or maintain such permissions or approvals if and when required, or (z) changes in applicable laws, regulations, or interpretations relating to our business or industry which would require us to obtain approvals in the future, our operations, financial conditions, and results of operations could be adversely affected, directly or indirectly, and the value of the Company’s common stock could significantly decline or become worthless.
On July 7, 2022, the CAC promulgated the Measures for the Security Assessment for Cross-border Transfer of Data (the “Security Assessment measures”), which came into effect on September 1, 2022. The Security Assessment measures stipulates that data processors which provide data cross-border and have one of the following circumstances, should apply the security assessment to the national network information department through the provincial branches of network information department: (A) data processors to provide important data cross-border; (B) operators of critical information infrastructure and data processors handling personal information of more than 1 million people to provide personal information cross-border;(C) data processors which provide cross-border a cumulative total of 100,000 people’s personal information or 10,000 people’s sensitive personal information since January 1 of the previous year; (D) other situations requiring application for the security assessment regarding providing data cross-border as stipulated by the state Internet information department. As of the date of this filing, the PRC subsidiary has not provided any important data or personal data to any offshore institutions or individuals, so the PRC subsidiary does not need to apply for a security assessment at this stage. However, if we need to provide data to offshore institutions or individuals in the future and fall into the situations which should apply for the security assessment, we might not pass the security assessment.
In December 2020, the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (“HFCAA”), was signed into law as part of a continued regulatory focus in the United States on access to audit and other information currently protected by national law. The HFCAA states if the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) determines that we have filed audit reports issued by a registered public accounting firm that has not been subject to inspection by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) for three consecutive years beginning in 2021, the SEC shall prohibit securities from being traded on a national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter trading market in the U.S. Following the filing of our Form 10 for fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, which was audited by Centurion ZD CPA & Co. (“CZD CPA”), an audit firm headquartered in Hong Kong, a jurisdiction that the PCAOB has determined that the PCAOB is unable to conduct inspections or investigate auditors, the SEC added us to its list of Commission-Identified Issuers identified under HFCAA. In December 2022, the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (“AHFCAA”) was signed into law, which amended the HFCAA to shorten the three-year period to two years.
On September 7, 2022, the Company dismissed CZD CPA and appointed Prager Metis CPAs, LLC (“PragerMetis”) as the Company’s independent auditor for the fiscal year end December 31, 2022. Our current auditors, PragerMetis, is located at Hackensack, New Jersey, and has been inspected by the PCAOB. We expect that this will satisfy the PCAOB inspection requirements for the audit of our consolidated financial statements, subject to compliance with SEC and other requirements prior to the two-year deadline of the AHFCAA.
Further, on August 26, 2022, the PCAOB signed a Statement of Protocol with the China Securities Regulatory Commission, or the CSRC, and the Ministry of Finance of the PRC, taking the first step toward opening access for the PCAOB to inspect and investigate registered public accounting firms headquartered in Chinese mainland and Hong Kong. On December 15, 2022, the PCAOB announced that it “was able to secure complete access to inspect and investigate audit firms in the People’s Republic of China (PRC) for the first time in history, in 2022. Therefore, on December 15, 2022, the PCAOB Board voted to vacate previous determinations to the contrary.”
iv
EUBG is permitted to transfer cash as a loan and/or capital contribution to the HK subsidiary for its operations and the HK subsidiary is permitted to transfer cash as a loan and/or capital contribution to the PRC subsidiary for capital investment and company operations. For instance, the PRC subsidiary will use the cash for their daily business operations. However, under existing PRC regulations, any loans made to our PRC subsidiaries shall not exceed a statutory limit, and shall be filed with PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”) or its local bureau. Additionally, any capital contributions the HK subsidiary make to the PRC subsidiary shall be filed with the local commerce department. The PRC subsidiary is the main operating company to earn revenue. The HK subsidiary is also permitted under the laws of Hong Kong SAR to provide funding to EUBG through dividend distribution without restrictions on the amount of the funds. Current PRC laws require that dividends be paid only out of the profit for the year calculated according to PRC accounting principles, which differ from the generally accepted accounting principles in other jurisdictions. In addition, PRC laws also require a foreign-invested enterprise to set aside at least 10% of its after-tax profits, if any, to fund its statutory reserves, until the aggregate amount reaches 50% of its registered capital. In addition, a wholly foreign-owned enterprise may, at its discretion, allocate a portion of its after-tax profits based on PRC accounting principles to enterprise expansion funds, staff welfare, and bonus funds. Those reserve funds are not available for distribution as cash dividends. The PRC government’s control of foreign currency conversion may limit our foreign exchange transactions. Under existing PRC foreign exchange regulations, payments of current account items can be made in foreign currencies without prior approval from SAFE. However, approval from SAFE, or registration with SAFE or other appropriate departments is required where RMB shall be converted into foreign currency and be remitted out of the PRC. Failure to comply with the above regulations may result in liability under PRC laws for evasion of foreign exchange controls.
As of the date of this filing, our PRC subsidiary has distributed $10 million (net of withholding tax at $1.1 million charged at a rate of 10% of the declared dividend) to its holding parent, which is our HK subsidiary. However, we cannot ensure that we will be able to comply with the above regulations in all respects in the future. If we fail to comply with the above regulations, our ability to transfer cash and distribute earnings may be negatively affected, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand our business. Since EUBG, the Nevada holding company, is not the direct parent company of the PRC subsidiary, EUBG and the PRC subsidiary cannot make transfers to each other. As of the date of this filing, other than the above stated $10 million cash dividends transferred from our PRC subsidiary to our HK subsidiary for operational costs, no cash transfer or transfer of other assets (including dividends and distribution) have occurred among EUBG, our Nevada holding company, and either of its subsidiaries, our HK subsidiary or our PRC subsidiary.
The PRC government has significant oversight and discretion over the conduct of our business as the government deems appropriate to further regulatory, political and societal goals. To the extent that the cash and assets of our business are in our PRC subsidiary and/or Hong Kong subsidiary, such cash or assets may not be available to fund our operations or for other use outside of the PRC and/or Hong Kong due to the potential intervention by the PRC government to impose restrictions and limitations over our ability or our subsidiaries’ ability to transfer cash or assets. Any such influence on our business operations or action to exert more oversight and supervision over the cash or assets of our subsidiaries could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and the value of our common stock, or significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or in extreme cases, become worthless.
On September 1, 2021, our PRC subsidiary adopted a written Monetary and Cash Fund Management System (“Cash Management Policy”) for its operations in China and Hong Kong. The Cash Management Policy covers cash, bank deposits and other monetary funds owned by the PRC subsidiary and Hong Kong subsidiary and includes procedures on receiving funds, depositing funds, transferring funds and proper documentation and recording of cash. We adopted the Cash Management Policy in order to provide a process and guidance on collecting, accounting for, and safeguarding all cash and cash equivalents of our PRC subsidiary and Hong Kong subsidiary, including 1) checking the latest regulation requirements between China and Hong Kong; and 2) seeking approval from EUBG’s chief executive officer in order to transfer funds from our PRC subsidiary to our HK subsidiary. EUBG does not have a cash management policy.
For detailed discussions on such risks, please see the section captioned “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “Annual Report” or “Form 10-K”), filed with the SEC on March 28, 2024.

Any forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report are only estimates or predictions of future events based on information currently available to our management and management’s current beliefs about the potential outcome of future events. Whether these future events will occur as management anticipates, whether we will achieve our business objectives, and whether our revenues, operating results or financial condition will improve in future periods are subject to numerous risks. There are a number of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results anticipated by these forward-looking statements. These important factors include those that we discuss under the heading “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report and in other reports filed from time to time with the SEC that are incorporated by reference into this Quarterly Report. You should read these factors and the other cautionary statements made in this Quarterly Report and in the documents which we incorporate by reference into this Quarterly Report as being applicable to all related forward-looking statements wherever they appear in this Quarterly Report or the documents we incorporate by reference into this Quarterly Report. If one or more of these factors materialize, or if any underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results, performance or achievements may vary materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

(UNAUDITED)
(In U.S. dollars except for number of shares)
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
Entrepreneur Universe Bright Group (“EUBG” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 21, 1999 under the name LE GOURMET CO, INC. and the Company’s name to Entrepreneur Universe Bright Group, with an effective date of April 3, 2020.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States of America generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting.
The interim condensed consolidated financial information as of June 30, 2024 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 have been prepared without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and footnote disclosures, which are normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The interim condensed consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and the notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, previously filed with the SEC on March 28, 2024.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include all significant normal and recurring adjustments) necessary to present a fair statement of the Company’s interim condensed consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2024, its interim condensed consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, as applicable, have been made. The interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future periods.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management of the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, costs and expenses, and related disclosures. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, management believes that the impact of recently issued standards did not or will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”). ASU 2023-09 is intended to improve income tax disclosures primarily through enhanced disclosure of income tax rate reconciliation items, and disaggregation of income (loss) from continuing operations, income tax expense (benefit) and income taxes paid, net disclosures by federal, state and foreign jurisdictions, among others. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact that ASC 2023-09 will have on the consolidated financial statements and its plan for adoption, including the adoption date and transition method.
F-5
Basis of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions within the Company have been eliminated upon consolidation.
A
subsidiary is an entity in which (i) the Company directly or indirectly controls more than
Leases
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease or contains a lease at inception of the arrangement. Operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the discount rate for the lease at the commencement date. As the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable for the operating lease, the Company generally uses an incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the commencement date to determine the present value of future lease payments. Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU assets”) assets represent the Company’s right to control the use of an identified asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets are generally recognized based on the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance to combine the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component for operating leases associated with the Company’s office space lease, and to keep leases with an initial term of 12 months or less off the balance sheet and recognize the associated lease payments in the condensed consolidated statements of income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
ROU assets are reviewed for impairment when indicators of impairment are present. ROU assets from operating and finance leases are subject to the impairment guidance in ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, as ROU assets are long-lived nonfinancial assets.
ROU assets are tested for impairment individually or as part of an asset group if the cash flows related to the ROU asset are not independent from the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. An asset group is the unit of accounting for long-lived assets to be held and used, which represents the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets and liabilities.
The Company recognized no impairment of ROU assets as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
The operating lease is included in operating lease right-of-use assets, operating lease liabilities-current and operating lease liabilities-non-current on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers cash, money market funds, investments in interest bearing demand deposit accounts, time deposits and all highly liquid investments placed with banks or other financial institutions with an original maturity of three and six months or less to be cash equivalents.
As
of June 30, 2024, cash held in accounts managed by online payment platforms such as Alipay and WeChat Pay amounted to $
F-6
Accounts receivable
Accounts receivables are recorded at the invoiced amount, net of allowances for doubtful accounts and sales returns. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company’s existing accounts receivables. The Company determines the allowance based on historical write-off experience, customer specific facts and economic conditions.
Outstanding accounts receivable balances are reviewed individually for collectability. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.
Plant and equipment
Plant
and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment.
| Estimated useful lives (years) | ||
| Motor vehicle | ||
| Office equipment |
The gain or loss on the disposal of plant and equipment is the difference between the net sales proceeds and the lower of the carrying value or fair value less cost to sell the relevant assets and is recognized in general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
In accordance with ASC 360-10-35, we review the carrying values of long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company assesses the recover-ability of the assets based on the non-discounted future cash flows the assets are expected to generate and recognize an impairment loss when estimated discounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset plus net proceeds expected from disposition of the asset, if any, are less than the carrying value of the asset. If an impairment is identified, the Company would reduce the carrying amount of the asset to its estimated fair value based on a discounted cash flows approach or, when available and appropriate, to comparable market values. No impairment has been recorded by the Company for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenues when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company recognizes revenues following the five step model prescribed under ASU No. 2014-09: (i) identify contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenues when (or as) we satisfy the performance obligation.
The Company evaluates if it is a principal or an agent in a transaction to determine whether revenue should be recorded on a gross or net basis. The Company is acting as the principal if it obtains control over the goods and services before they are transferred to customers. When the Company is primarily obligated in a transaction, is generally subject to inventory risk, has latitude in establishing prices, or has several but not all of these indicators, the Company acts as the principal and revenue is recorded on a gross basis. When the Company is not primarily obligated in a transaction, does not generally bear the inventory risk and does not have the ability to establish the price, the Company acts as the agent and revenue is recorded on a net basis
The Company derives its revenue primarily from consultancy services, sourcing and marketing services related services.
F-7
Consultancy services
The Company generates the majority of its revenues by providing consulting services to its clients.
Performance-based arrangements represent forms of variable consideration determined by pre-established fixed rates. In these arrangements, the Company’s fees are based on the attainment of contractually defined objectives with our client, such as assisting the client in achieving a specific business objective (e.g. facilitating product sales, course enrollments, private car sales and delivery, and enhancing livestream performers’ performance and profitability). The Company is entitled a fixed rate on revenue generated by the client that are related to the scope of respective consultancy services upon client acceptance on the services provided.
Sourcing and marketing services
The Company provides agency-based sourcing and marketing services to connect marketplace operators and merchants.
Agency-based sourcing and marketing services represents product procurement on behalf of marketplace operators. The Company recognized revenues from agency-based sourcing and marketing services at a fixed rate on the value of goods that are sourced and delivered to the ultimate customers by the merchants. The Company reports revenues from these transactions on a net basis because the performance obligation is to facilitate a transaction between marketplace operators and merchants, for which the Company did not obtain the control over the products before passing on to the end customers. The Company is not primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise and not exposed to inventory risk.
The post-sale services, goods return and other kinds of product issue are responsibilities of the merchants. Upon successful delivery to ultimate customers by the merchants, there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the marketplace operators’ and merchants’ acceptance of the services provided. The acceptance provisions have lapsed, or the Company has objective evidence that all criteria for acceptance have been satisfied.

Company derived services revenues of $
Practical expedients and exemption
The Company has not incurred any costs to obtain contracts, and does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected length of one year or less.

Employee benefits
Full
time employees of the Company in the PRC participate in a government mandated defined contribution plan, pursuant to which certain pension
benefits, medical care, employee housing fund and other welfare benefits are provided to the employees. Chinese labor regulations require
that the PRC subsidiary of the Company make contributions to the government for these benefits based on certain percentages of the employees’
salaries, up to a maximum amount specified by the local government. The Company has no legal obligation for the benefits beyond the contributions
made. Total amounts of such employee benefit expenses, which were expensed as incurred, were approximately $

Foreign Currency Transaction and Translation
The reporting currency of the Company is the United States dollar (“US dollar”). The financial records of the Company’s PRC operating subsidiaries are maintained in their local currency, the Renminbi (“RMB”), which is the functional currency. The financial records of the Company’s Hong Kong operating subsidiary are maintained in its local currency, the Hong Kong Dollar (“HKD”), which is the functional currency. Assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries are translated into the reporting currency at the exchange rates at the balance sheet date, equity accounts are translated at historical exchange rates, and income and expense items are translated using the average rate for the period. The translation adjustments are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss under shareholders’ equity.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the applicable functional currencies are translated into the functional currencies at the prevailing rates of exchange at the balance sheet date. Nonmonetary assets and liabilities are remeasured into the applicable functional currencies at historical exchange rates. Transactions in currencies other than the applicable functional currencies during the period are converted into the functional currencies at the applicable rates of exchange prevailing at the transaction dates. Transaction gains and losses are recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
RMB
is not a fully convertible currency. All foreign exchange transactions involving RMB must take place either through the People’s
Bank of China (the “PBOC”) or other institutions authorized to buy and sell foreign exchange. The exchange rates adopted
for the foreign exchange transactions are the rates of exchange quoted by the PBOC, which are determined largely by supply and demand.

Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for using an asset and liability approach which requires the recognition of income taxes payable or refundable for the current period and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. Deferred income taxes are determined based on the differences between the accounting basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance, if based on available evidence, it is considered that it is more likely than not that some portion of or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In making such determination, the Company considers factors including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, future profitability, and tax planning strategies. If events were to occur in the future that would allow the Company to realize more of its deferred tax assets than the presently recorded net amount, an adjustment would be made to the deferred tax assets that would increase income for the period when those events occurred. If events were to occur in the future that would require the Company to realize less of its deferred tax assets than the presently recorded net amount, an adjustment would be made to the valuation allowance against deferred tax assets that would decrease income for the period when those events occurred. Significant management judgment is required in determining income tax expense and deferred tax assets and liabilities.
The Company conducts business in the US, the PRC and Hong Kong and is subject to tax in these jurisdictions. As a result of its business activities, the Company will file tax returns that are subject to examination by the respective tax authorities.
F-10
Uncertain Tax Positions
Management
reviews regularly the adequacy of the provisions for taxes as they relate to the Company’s income and transactions. In order to
assess uncertain tax positions, the Company applies a more likely than not threshold and a two-step approach for tax position measurement
and financial statement recognition. For the two-step approach, the first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining
if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained, including resolution
of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more
than
Net income per Share of Common Stock
The
Company has adopted ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share,” (“EPS”) which requires presentation of basic EPS on
the face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and
denominator of the basic EPS computation.

| Weighted average number of common stock outstanding | ||||||||||||||||
| Net income per share | ||||||||||||||||
| $ | * | $ | * | $ | * | $ | * | |||||||||
| * | Less than $ |
The calculation of basic net income per share of common stock is based on the net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company has no potentially dilutive securities, such as options or warrants, currently issued and outstanding.
Segments
The Company uses the “management approach” in determining reportable operating segments. The management approach considers the internal organization and reporting used by the Company’s chief operating decision maker for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the source for determining the Company’s reportable segments. Management, including the chief operating decision maker, reviews operating results solely by monthly revenue of marketing consultation services and operating results of the Company and, as such, the Company has determined that the Company has one operating segment (provision of consulting, sourcing and marketing services, and digital training related services in China) as defined by ASC Topic 280 “Segment Reporting”.
F-11
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures, defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. This topic also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires classification based on observable and unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Certain current assets and current liabilities are financial instruments. Management believes their carrying amounts are a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and, if applicable, their current interest rates are equivalent to interest rates currently available. The three levels of valuation hierarchy 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 liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments. |
| ● | Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. |
Valuation of debt products depends upon a number of factors, including prevailing interest rates for like securities, expected volatility in future interest rates, and other relevant terms of the debt. Other factors that may be considered include the borrower’s ability to adequately service its debt, the fair market value of the borrower in relation to the face amount of its outstanding debt and the quality of collateral securing the Company’s debt investments. The fair value of these debt products classified as Level 2 are established by reference to the prices quoted by respective fund administrators.
The carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable and other payables, amounts due to a director and a shareholder and borrowings approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments or the rate of interest of these instruments approximate the market rate of interest.
Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a company during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances excluding transactions resulting from investments from owners and distributions to owners. Accumulated other comprehensive income includes cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment.

NOTE 11 – CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS
Contingencies
Certain conditions may exist as of the date the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management and legal counsel assess such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company’s legal counsel evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought. There was no contingency of this type as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material would be disclosed. There was no contingency of this type as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
Loss contingencies considered to be remote by management are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantee would be disclosed.

ITEM 2 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Overview
EUBG is a holding company for its operating subsidiaries that provide marketing consultancy services and e-commerce business in China. While substantially all of our operations are located in China, we currently do not, and we do not plan to use variable interest entities to execute our business plan or to conduct our China-based operations. However, because our operations are in China and our major shareholders are located in China, there is always a risk that the Chinese government may exert certain supervision over the operations of any company with any level of operations in China, including its ability to offer securities to investors, list its securities on a U.S. or other foreign exchange, conduct its business or accept foreign investment. If any or all of the foregoing were to occur, it could, in turn, result in a material change in the Company’s operations and/or the value of its common stock and/or significantly limit or completely hinder its ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or be worthless.
Segment and Related Information
We operate as a single reportable segment “provision of consulting, sourcing and marketing services in China”.

Revenue and cost of revenue
During the three months ended June 30, 2024, we generated revenue of $1,264,221, which represents a decrease of $441,721 or 25.9% as compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease was mainly attributed to our consultation services in connection with a client engaged in live streaming business which dropped by $440,985 in the current period.
Cost of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $169,757, which represented an increase of $61,176 or 56.3% as compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase in cost of revenue is mainly due to the introduction of a new service provider.
Profit margin for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was 86.6%, which represents a decrease of 7.1% as compared to the same period in the prior year. It indicates that the additional consultancy costs and labor costs involved in the cost of revenue outweighed the slight increase in revenue, resulting in a lower profit margin.
As a result of the above, the gross profit was $1,094,464 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, which represented a decrease of $502,897 or 31.5% as compared to the same period in the prior year.

Our net other income mainly consisted of bank interest income, exchange rate differences and sundry income. The difference is primarily attributed to the unrealized exchange loss recorded as a result of the depreciation of the RMB against the HKD.

Cash generated from operating activities
Net cash generated from operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $767,728, which represented a decrease of $351,811 or 31.4% as compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease of operating cash flows was mainly resulted from a combination of below operating activities changes:
Net income was $721,963 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to $1,121,904 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease of net income of $399,941 or 35.6% was primarily due to the decrease in revenue attributed to our consultation services in connection with a client engaged in live streaming business which dropped by $352,538 in the current period.
Cash inflow of trade receivables was $213,551 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to cash outflow of $207,645 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The changes in cash flow from trade receivables were primarily attributed to the changes in the consultation business. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the decrease in the consultation business compared to the previous period end resulted in a lower trade receivables balance and a cash inflow of $213,551. On the other hand, for the six months ended June 30, 2023, the consultation business experienced significant growth compared to the previous period end, leading to a higher trade receivables balance and a cash outflow of $207,645.
Cash outflow of tax payables was $114,592 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to cash inflow of $286,498 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Our tax payables consist of the Enterprise Income Tax charged in China, which is accrued on a quarterly basis and settled in the subsequent quarter. The changes in cash flow from tax payables were primarily influenced by the income tax provision and income tax paid during the period. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the income tax provision was $439,825 less than the income tax paid of $554,417, leading to the cash outflow of $114,592. Conversely, for the six months ended June 30, 2023, the income tax provision was $573,420 exceeded the income tax paid of $286,922, resulting the cash inflow of $286,498.
5
Cash flows used in investing activities
No cash movement of investing activities was resulted for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was due to purchase of property, plant and equipment.
Cash flows used in financing activities
No cash movement of financing activities was resulted for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was due to repayment to a director for the amount advanced by a director.
Future Capital Requirements
We believe that our ability to generate cash from operations are adequate to fund working capital, capital spending and other cash needs for at least the next 12 months. Our ability to generate adequate cash from operations in the future, however, will depend on, among other things, our ability to successfully implement our business strategies while continuing to tightly control our expenses, and to manage the impact of changes to the PRC regulatory environment. We can give no assurance that we will be able to successfully implement those strategies and cost control initiatives, or successfully adjust to any changes to PRC laws and regulations impacting our business. In addition, changes in our operating plans, lower than anticipated sales, increased expenses, interest rate increases, acquisitions or other events may cause us to seek additional debt or equity financing in future periods. We can give no assurance that financing will be available on acceptable terms or at all. Additional equity financing could be dilutive to holders of the Company’s common stock; debt financing, if available, could impose additional cash payment obligations and additional covenants and operating restrictions.
Contractual Obligations
We had the following contractual obligations and commercial commitments as of June 30, 2024:
| Contractual Obligations | Total | Less than 1 year | 1-3 years | 3-5 years | More than 5 years | |||||||||||||||
| Lease | 150,382 | 50,127 | 100,255 | - | - | |||||||||||||||
| TOTAL | $ | 150,382 | $ | 50,127 | $ | 100,255 | $ | - | $ | - | ||||||||||
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a) (4) (ii) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act of 1934.

ITEM 3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company is a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and is not required to provide the information required under this item.
ITEM 4 - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this Report, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the 1934 Act). Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the 1934 Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.
The Company determined that there were control deficiencies that constituted material weaknesses, as described below as of June 30, 2024.
| 1. | We did not maintain appropriate cash controls – We had not maintained sufficient internal controls over financial reporting for the cash process, including failure to segregate cash handling and accounting functions, and did not require dual signature on our bank accounts. However, the effects of poor cash controls were mitigated in part by the fact that we had introduced certain cash management policies. |
| 2. | We did not implement appropriate information technology controls – We were retaining copies of all financial data and material agreements; however there is no formal procedure or evidence of normal backup of our data or off-site storage of the data in the event of theft, misplacement, or loss due to unmitigated factors. |
| 3. | We currently lack sufficient accounting personnel with the appropriate level of knowledge, experience and training in U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting requirements. |
| 4. | We do not have adequate written policies and procedures – Due to lack of adequate written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting, we did not establish a formal process to close our books monthly and account for all transactions in a timely manner. |
7
Accordingly, we concluded that these control deficiencies resulted in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by our internal controls.
Due to our small size and the early stage of our business, segregation of duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. We have limited capital resources and have given priority in the use of those resources to our business development efforts. As a result, we have not been able to take steps to improve our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2024. However, we continue to evaluate the effectiveness of internal controls and procedures on an ongoing basis. Once our operations grow and become more complex, our Board of Directors will take steps to remediate these material weaknesses as soon as practicable:
| 1. | We plan to formalize and provide training, on certain policies, including cash control. |
| 2. | We plan, as funding permits, to engage a third party consultant to help evaluate and improve the design of appropriate information technology controls. |
| 3. | We plan, as funding permits, to appoint additional personnel with U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting experience to assist with the preparation of our financial reporting. |
| 4. | Prepare written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting to establish a formal process to close our books monthly on an accrual basis and account for all transactions, including equity and debt transactions, in a timely manner. |
Despite the material weaknesses and deficiencies reported above, our management believes that our financial statements included in this report fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented and that this report does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Other than as described above, there have been no changes in the internal controls over financial reporting during the most recently completed quarter ended June 30, 2024, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. To the best knowledge of management, there are no material legal proceedings pending against the Company.
ITEM 1A - RISK FACTORS
An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks set forth in the section captioned “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on March 28, 2024, before making an investment decision. If any of the risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could suffer. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. You should read the section captioned “Special Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements” above for a discussion of what types of statements are forward-looking statements, as well as the significance of such statements in the context of this report.
