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 Chinese government may exercise significant oversight and discretion over the conduct of our business and may intervene in or influence our PRC operations at any time, which could result in a material change in our operations and/or the value of the Company’s common stock. The Chinese 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.
ii
Recent statements by the Chinese government have indicated an intent to exert more oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas and/or foreign investments in China based issuers. Any future action by the Chinese 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. , the PRC government initiated a series of regulatory actions and made a number of public statements on the regulation of business operations in China with little advance notice, 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. As confirmed by our PRC legal counsel, King & Wood Mallesons, the business of our PRC subsidiary until now are not subject to cybersecurity review with the Cyberspace Administration of China, or the “CAC,” under the Measures for Cybersecurity Review (2021) which became effective on February 15, 2022 and replace the Measures for Cybersecurity Review promulgated on April 13, 2020, on the basis that (i) we currently do not have over one million users’ personal information and do not anticipate that we will be collecting over one million users’ personal information in the foreseeable future, which we understand might otherwise subject us to the Measures for Cybersecurity Review (2021); (ii) our PRC subsidiary’s business operations do not involve any Critical Information Infrastructure, and neither we nor the PRC subsidiary has received any notification from applicable PRC governmental authorities indicating that any of the PRC subsidiary’s products or services is determined as the Critical Information Infrastructure; and (iii) neither we nor the PRC subsidiary has received any notification from applicable PRC governmental authorities indicating that we or our PRC subsidiary shall file for a cybersecurity review. We are also not subject to network data security review by the CAC if the Draft Regulations on the Network Data Security Administration (Draft for Comments) (the “Draft Regulation”) are enacted as proposed, since we currently do not have over one million users’ personal information and do not collect data that affects or may affect national security and we do not anticipate that we will be collecting over one million users’ personal information or data that affects or may affect national security in the foreseeable future, which we understand might otherwise subject us to the Draft Regulation. In addition, as of the date of this Form 10-Q, neither we nor our PRC subsidiary has been subject to any anti-monopoly investigation, penalty of litigation initiated by government authorities or third parties. Furthermore, we will continue to monitor for updates of applicable PRC anti-monopoly laws and regulations. Currently, these statements and regulatory actions have had no impact on our daily business operations, the ability to accept foreign investments and list our securities on a U.S. or other foreign exchange, and there are no new relevant laws or regulations in effect in the PRC explicitly requiring us to seek approval from the China Securities Regulatory Commission for our registration. However, since these statements and regulatory actions are new, it is highly uncertain how soon legislative or administrative regulation making bodies will respond and what existing or new laws or regulations or detailed implementations and interpretations will be modified or promulgated, if any, and the potential impact such modified or new laws and regulations will have on our daily business operations, the ability to accept foreign investments and list our securities on a U.S. or other foreign exchange.
As of the date of this filing of this Form 10-Q, 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. Because these statements and regulatory actions are new, however, it is highly uncertain how soon legislative or administrative regulation making bodies in China will respond to them, or what existing or new laws or regulations will be modified or promulgated, if any, 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.
iii
According to our PRC legal counsel, King & Wood Mallesons, we and our subsidiaries are currently not required to obtain permission from any of the PRC authorities to issue the shares of the Company’s common stock to foreign investors. In addition, we and our subsidiaries are not required to obtain permission or approval from the PRC authorities including CSRC or CAC to issue the Company’s common stock to foreign investors, nor have we, or our subsidiaries, applied for or received any denial for the Registration. However, recently, 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. 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. In addition, 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 such permissions or approvals are not required, or (ii) if the CSRC, the Cyberspace Administration of China or other regulatory PRC agencies later promulgate new rules requiring that we obtain their approvals to issue the Company’s common stock to foreign investors, and we are unable to obtain a waiver of such approval requirements, if and when procedures are established to obtain such a waiver, then we may not be able to list on a U.S. exchange. In addition, any uncertainties and/or negative publicity regarding such an approval requirement could have a material adverse effect on the trading price of our securities. It is uncertain when and whether we will be required to obtain permission from the China Securities Regulatory Commission to list on U.S. exchanges, and even if such permission is obtained, whether it will be denied or rescinded. Although we concluded our subsidiaries are currently not required to obtain permission from any of the PRC central or local government and has not received any denial to list on the U.S. exchange, 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, (x) if we inadvertently conclude that such approvals are not required when they are, (y) if 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. If our PRC subsidiary is unable to receive or maintain approvals when required for our business or industry under then applicable PRC laws, then such failure could limit or prohibit the ability of our PRC subsidiary to operate in China, and our operations, financial conditions, and the 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 December 16, 2021, Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) issued a report on its determinations that PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely PCAOB-registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and in Hong Kong, a Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China (PRC), because of positions taken by PRC authorities in those jurisdictions. The PCAOB made these determinations pursuant to PCAOB Rule 6100, which provides a framework for how the PCAOB fulfills its responsibilities under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (HFCAA). The report further listed in its Appendix A and Appendix B, Registered Public Accounting Firms Subject to the Mainland China Determination and Registered Public Accounting Firms Subject to the Hong Kong Determination, respectively. The audit report included in the Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 15, 2022 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, was issued 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 Company’s auditors CZD CPA is among those listed by the PCAOB Hong Kong Determination, a determination announced by the PCAOB on December 16, 2021 that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms headquartered in Hong Kong, a Special Administrative Region and dependency of the PRC, because of a position taken by one or more authorities in Hong Kong. The lack of access to the PCAOB inspection in China prevents the PCAOB from fully evaluating audits and quality control procedures of the auditors based in China. As a result, the investors may be deprived of the benefits of such PCAOB inspections. The inability of the PCAOB to conduct inspections of auditors in China makes it more difficult to evaluate the effectiveness of these accounting firms’ audit procedures or quality control procedures as compared to auditors outside of China that are subject to the PCAOB inspections. In addition, under the HFCAA, our securities may be prohibited from trading on the U.S. stock exchanges or in the over the counter trading market in the U.S. if our auditor is not inspected by the PCAOB for three consecutive years, and this ultimately could result in the Company’s common stock being delisted. Furthermore, on June 22, 2021, the U.S. Senate passed the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (“AHFCAA”), which, if enacted, would amend the HFCAA and require the SEC to prohibit an issuer’s securities from trading on any U.S. stock exchanges or in the over the counter trading market in the U.S. if its auditor is not subject to PCAOB inspections for two consecutive years instead of three. In the future, if we do not engage an auditor that is subject to regular inspection by the PCAOB, the Company’s common stock may be delisted.
On April 22, 2022, pursuant to the HFCAA, the SEC provisionally identified EUBG as a company that uses an auditor not subject to PCAOB inspection. On or about May 12, 2022, SEC had made its identification of EUBG as conclusive under HFCAA. The identification of EUBG does not mean that EUBG will be immediately prohibited from trading in the over the counter trading market. This delisting may only occur under HFCAA if, for three consecutive years (or two-year under AHFCAA), EUBG uses an auditor that cannot be inspected by the PCAOB. We are currently evaluating this ongoing situation and we intend to engage an independent public accounting firm that satisfies the PCAOB inspection requirements for the audit of our consolidated financial statements, subject to compliance with SEC and other requirements prior to the three-year (or two-year under AHFCAA) deadline of the HFCAA.
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. The PRC subsidiary is the main operating company to earn revenue. Current PRC regulations permit the PRC subsidiary to pay dividends to the HK subsidiary only out of its accumulated profits, if any, and 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. We have not been notified from any Chinese government authorities of any restriction on foreign exchange which limits our ability to transfer cash between entities, across borders, and to U.S. investors. In addition, we have not been notified from any Chinese government authorities of any restriction which can limit our ability to distribute earnings from our business, including subsidiaries, to the parent company and U.S. investors.
As of the date of this Form 10-Q, our PRC subsidiary, distributed $4.6 million (net of withholding tax at $517,120 charged at a rate of 10% of the declared dividend) to its holding parent, the HK subsidiary. 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 the other. We intend to keep any future earnings to finance the expansion of our business conducted by our subsidiaries, and we do not anticipate that any cash dividends will be paid in the foreseeable future from the HK subsidiary to EUBG, the Nevada holding company, and/or from EUBG to its shareholders. As of the date of this Form 10-Q, other than the above stated $4.6 million cash dividends transferred from our PRC subsidiary to our HK subsidiary for operation costs, no cash transfer or transfer of other assets (including dividends and distribution) have occurred among EUBG, our Nevada holding company and its subsidiaries, either the HK subsidiary or the PRC subsidiary.
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 April 15, 2022.

COVID-19
In early January of 2020, a novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) outbreak took place in Wuhan, China. Subsequently, it has spread rapidly to Asia and other parts of the world. The COVID-19 outbreak has resulted in widespread economic disruptions in China, as well as stringent government measures by the Chinese government to contain its transmissions including quarantines, travel restrictions, and temporary closures of non-essential businesses in China and elsewhere. The outbreak in China mainly occurred in the first quarter of 2020, and it gradually stabilized and business activities started to resume under the guidance and support of the government since late second quarter of 2020.
As of December 31, 2020, the COVID-19 outbreak in China appears to be generally under control and business activities have recovered on the whole. In addition, the Company resumed contacting potential customers as of June 2020, and the aforementioned negative impact has been further mitigated since the third quarter of 2020, when the outbreak became more stabilized in China and other regions in the world. However, sporadic cases continue to be found during the first half year of 2021 in China. For example, a new Delta variant of COVID-19 had been found in certain cities in China in the second quarter of 2021, which may cause another outbreak, thus increasing risks and possible further disruption to businesses. Therefore, certain of the Company’s consulting services were suspended from April 2021 to August 2021. We have resumed these consulting businesses from August 2021 in order to maintain diversified services for the Company’s customers.
As of December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2022, the COVID-19 pandemic continues to be dynamic, and near-term challenges across the economy remain. Although vaccines are now being distributed and administered across many parts of the world, new variants of the virus have emerged and may continue to emerge that have shown to be more contagious. We continue to adhere to applicable governmental and commercial restrictions and to work to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 on our employees, customers, communities, liquidity and financial position. The extent to which the COVID-19 outbreak may impact the company’s business, operations and financial results from this point forward will depend on numerous evolving factors that the company cannot accurately predict. Those factors include the following: the duration and scope of the pandemic; governmental, business and individuals’ actions in response to the pandemic in the future; and any other further development of the COVID-19 outbreak.
Substantially all of the Company’s revenues and operations are concentrated in China. Consequently, our results of operations and financial performances have been affected since 2020 and into the first quarter of 2022. Due to the government measures taken to contain COVID-19, the offline activities of the Company’s PRC subsidiary were restricted from late January to May 2020, resulting in cancellations or postponements of the marketing efforts of our customers. In addition, due to widespread economic disruptions during the outbreak, demand for the Company’s consulting services by small and medium-sized enterprises were also adversely affected. Specifically, as a result of government mandated closures of non-essential business in China, many of the Company’s customers’ business were suspended while others permanently closed their businesses. From December 22, 2021 to January 24, 2022, Xian city, the PRC, went into lockdown following a coronavirus outbreak that officials attributed to the delta variant. From April 16, 2022 to April 19, 2022, the city was under temporary controls of social activities after reporting more than 40 infections in half month. This affected both the Company’s digital marketing consulting services and our KOL Training Related Services.

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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
The interim condensed consolidated financial information as of March 31, 2022 and for the three month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 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, 2021, previously filed with the SEC on April 15, 2022.
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company experienced (and continues to experience) adverse impacts of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) and the related public health orders. The Company expects that the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the United States and world economies will continue to have a material adverse impact on the demand for the Company’s business. Because of the significant uncertainties surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, the extent of the business interruption and the related financial impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.
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. Identified below are the accounting policies that reflect the Company’s most significant estimates and judgments, and those that the Company believes are the most critical to fully understanding and evaluating its condensed consolidated financial statements.
The COVID-19 pandemic has created and may continue to create significant uncertainty in macroeconomic conditions, which may cause further business slowdowns or shutdowns, depress demand for the Company’s business, and adversely impact its results of operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company faced increasing uncertainties around its estimates of revenue collectability and accounts receivable credit losses. The Company expects uncertainties around its key accounting estimates to continue to evolve depending on the duration and degree of impact associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. Its estimates may change as new events occur and additional information emerges, and such changes are recognized or disclosed in its condensed consolidated financial statements.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
F-7
In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt — Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options (“ASU 2021-04”). ASU 2021-04 provides guidance as to how an issuer should account for a modification of the terms or conditions or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option (i.e., a warrant) that remains classified after modification or exchange as an exchange of the original instrument for a new instrument. An issuer should measure the effect of a modification or exchange as the difference between the fair value of the modified or exchanged warrant and the fair value of that warrant immediately before modification or exchange and then apply a recognition model that comprises four categories of transactions and the corresponding accounting treatment for each category (equity issuance, debt origination, debt modification, and modifications unrelated to equity issuance and debt origination or modification). The Company applied the new standard beginning January 1, 2022. The adoption of ASU 2021-04 did not have any impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statement presentation or disclosures.
In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10, Government Assistance (Topic 832): Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance. This update requires certain annual disclosures about transactions with a government that are accounted for by applying a grant or contribution accounting model by analogy. The Company applied the new standard beginning January 1, 2022. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326) (“ASU 2016-13”), which requires entities to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. ASU 2016-13 replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost. ASU 2016-13 is to be adopted on a modified retrospective basis. As a smaller reporting company, ASU 2016-13 will be effective for the Company for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2016-13 will have on its condensed consolidated financial statement presentations and disclosures. In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02, Topic 326. The ASU eliminates the accounting guidance for trouble debt restructurings by creditors in Subtopic 310-40, and enhances the disclosure requirements for modifications of loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. Additionally, the ASU requires disclosure of gross writeoffs of receivables by year of origination for receivables within the scope of Subtopic 326-20, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses - Measured at Amortized Cost. This ASU is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2016-13 and ASU 2022-02 will have on its condensed consolidated financial statement presentations and disclosures.
Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
Basis of Consolidation and Noncontrolling Interests
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions within the Company have been eliminated upon consolidation.
F-8
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. 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 March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
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 months or less to be cash equivalents.
As of March 31, 2022, cash held in accounts managed
by online payment platforms such as Alipay and WeChat Pay amounted to $
Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable 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 receivable. 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. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
| Estimated useful lives (years) | ||
| Motor vehicle | ||
| Office equipment |
F-9
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 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 months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.
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. 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 net transaction services, including consultancy services, sourcing and marketing services, and digital training related services.
Consultancy services
The Company generates the majority of its revenues by providing consulting services to its clients. Most of its consulting service contracts are based on one of the following types of arrangements:
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. end customer placed an order to buy a product or enrolment of a course, or improve the performance quality and profitability of our client’s livestream performers). 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.
Fixed-fee arrangements require the client to pay a pre-established fee in exchange for a pre-determined set of professional services. Generally, the client agrees to pay a fixed fee prior to contract inception. The Company recognizes revenues for its professional services rendered under these fixed-fee billing arrangements monthly over the specified contract term.
Sourcing and marketing services
The Company provides agency-based sourcing and digital marketing services to connect marketplace operators and merchants. Most of its sourcing and marketing services are based on one of the following types of arrangements:
Agency-based sourcing services represents product procurement on behalf of marketplace operators. The Company recognized revenues from agency-based sourcing 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.
F-10
Digital marketing services are provided to the marketplace to promote designated products or services through social medial influencers engaged by the Company. The Company is entitled to a fixed rate on the revenue generated by the marketplace that are related to the designated products or services.
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.
Digital training related services
Fixed-fee digital training related services are provided to clients who are interested to conduct live-broadcasting business through social medias. The Company require the clients to pay a pre-established fee in exchange for the services. Revenues are recognized when promised services (e.g. preliminary consulting work, setting up an e-learning account and delivery of learning materials) are delivered to the clients.
The Company derived services revenues of $
Practical expedients and exemption
The Company has not occurred 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.
Other service income is earned when services have been rendered.

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 $
F-12
Foreign Currency and Foreign Currency 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. Translation of amounts from RMB into US dollars has been made at the following exchange rates for the respective periods:
| Three months ended March 31, 2022 | ||
| Balance sheet, except for equity accounts | ||
| Income statement and cash flows | ||
| Three months ended March 31, 2021 | ||
| Balance sheet, except for equity accounts | ||
| Income statement and cash flows |
During the periods presented, HKD is pegged to the U.S. dollar within a narrow range.
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 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-13
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. In the accompanying financial statements, basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.
| Three months ended March 31, | ||||||||
| 2022 | 2021 | |||||||
| Net income | $ | $ | ||||||
| Weighted average number of common stock outstanding | ||||||||
| - basic and diluted | ||||||||
| Net income per share | ||||||||
| - basic and diluted | $ | * | $ | * | ||||
| * | Less than $ |
The calculation of basic net income per share of common stock is based on the net income for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding.
For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, 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-14
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents.
As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, $
The Company operates principally in the PRC and Hong Kong and grants credit to its customers in these geographic regions. Although the PRC is economically stable, it is always possible that unanticipated events in foreign countries could disrupt the Company’s operations.
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, loan to a related company, 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 13 – CONTINGENIES 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 March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
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 March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
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.
The following discussion provides information which management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of the Company’s results of operations and financial condition. The discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in this Form 10-Q.
COVID-19 Update
In early January of 2020, a novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) outbreak took place in Wuhan, China. Subsequently, it has spread rapidly to Asia and other parts of the world. The COVID-19 outbreak has resulted in widespread economic disruptions in China, as well as stringent government measures by the Chinese government to contain its transmissions including quarantines, travel restrictions, and temporary closures of non-essential businesses in China and elsewhere. The outbreak in China mainly occurred in the first quarter of 2020, and it gradually stabilized and business activities started to resume under the guidance and support of the government since late second quarter of 2020.
As of December 31, 2020, the COVID-19 outbreak in China appears to be generally under control and business activities have recovered on the whole. In addition, we resumed contacting potential customers as of June 2020, and the aforementioned negative impact has been further mitigated since the third quarter of 2020, when the outbreak became more stabilized in China and other regions in the world. However, sporadic cases continue to be found during the first half year of 2021 in China. For example, a new Delta variant of COVID-19 had been found in certain cities in China in the second quarter of 2021, which may cause another outbreak, thus increasing risks and possible further disruption to businesses. Therefore, certain of our consulting services were suspended from April 2021 to August 2021. We have resumed these consulting businesses from August 2021 in order to maintain diversified services for our customers.
As of March 31, 2022, the COVID-19 pandemic continues to be dynamic, and near-term challenges across the economy remain. Although vaccines are now being distributed and administered across many parts of the world, new variants of the virus have emerged and may continue to emerge that have shown to be more contagious. We continue to adhere to applicable governmental and commercial restrictions and to work to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 on our employees, customers, communities, liquidity and financial position. The extent to which the COVID-19 outbreak may impact the company’s business, operations and financial results from this point forward will depend on numerous evolving factors that the company cannot accurately predict. Those factors include the following: the duration and scope of the pandemic; governmental, business and individuals’ actions in response to the pandemic in the future; and any other further development of the COVID-19 outbreak.
Substantially all of our revenues and operations are concentrated in China. Consequently, our results of operations and financial performances have been affected since 2020 and into the first quarter of 2022. Due to the government measures taken to contain COVID-19, the offline activities of our PRC subsidiary were restricted from late January to May 2020, resulting in cancellations or postponements of the marketing efforts of our customers. In addition, due to widespread economic disruptions during the outbreak, demand for our consulting services by small and medium-sized enterprises were also adversely affected. Specifically, as a result of government mandated closures of non-essential business in China, many of our customers’ business were suspended while others permanently closed their businesses. From December 22, 2021 to January 24, 2022, Xi’an city, the PRC, went into lockdown following a coronavirus outbreak that officials attributed to the delta variant. From April 16, 2022 to April 19, 2022, the city was under temporary controls of social activities after reporting more than 40 infections in half month. This affected both our digital marketing consulting services and our KOL Training Related Services in 2020, 2021 and early of 2022.
Overview
EUBG is a holding company for its operating subsidiaries. Our PRC subsidiary’s operations in China are the primary operations of the Company. 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 in the future seek to affect 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.
Recent Developments
On March 22, 2022, our PRC subsidiary learned that Beijing Jade Bird Culture and Art Research Institute (“Jade Bird”), the KOL agency that the PRC subsidiary works with to coordinate digital training related service, suspended its service after receiving a notice from China National Personal Talent Training Network (“CNPTTN”), a PRC regulatory agency for the talent training, that until further notice CNPTTN has suspended all recruitment services using its CNPTTN’s name. As a result of CNPTTN’s suspension, the PRC subsidiary has also suspended its digital training related services with Jade Bird from March 22, 2022 until further notice. Jade Bird is an authorized licensee of CNPTTN. As of the date of this Form 10-Q, there is no further notice from CNPTTN and the service is still being suspended.

Revenue and cost of revenue
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we generated revenue of $1,209,004 compared to $1,983,860 for the three months ended March 31, 2021, representing a decrease of $774,856 or 39.1% as compared with the prior period. The decrease was mainly due to our consultancy services income, generated from clients who engaged in online courses business, dropped by $1,243,700 as compared with last period. This was because the end customers became more patience and cautious in choosing online courses. We continued to seek for different business opportunities to stabilize our income streams. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we generated $278,573 from our new digital training related services and $259,473 from our consultancy services to a customer who engaged in live streaming business. However, these new income streams only compensated a part of the revenue reduction in current period. Cost of revenue was $312,479 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $219,321 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The cost of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2022 increased because we incurred agency fees of $202,350 for the digital training related services during the period. No such service was provided in prior period. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the cost of revenue mainly represented the staff costs for our consulting services.
Selling expenses
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we incurred $16,595 selling expenses compared to $84,254 for the three months ended March 31, 2021, representing a decrease of $67,659 or 80.3% as compared with the prior period. The decrease of selling expenses was mainly due to the tightening of entertainment policies during the period and the staff costs incurred in selling activities were dropped by US$25,230 or 61.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
General and administrative expenses
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we incurred $311,288 general and administrative expenses compared to $227,366 for the three months ended March 31, 2021, representing an increase of $83,922 or 36.9% as compared with the prior period. Our general and administrative expenses consisted mainly of audit fees, professional fees, payroll expenses and consultancy fees.
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, we incurred audit fees, professional fees and consultancy fees of $15,086, $88,331 and $21,686, respectively, to assist us in complying with the relevant reporting requirements. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, we incurred audit fees, professional fees and consultancy fees of $3,755, $16,995 and $18,357, respectively.
Total other income, net
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we generated net other income of $101,822 compared to $37,702 for the three months ended March 31, 2021, representing an increase of $64,120 or 170.1% as compared with the prior period. Our other income mainly consisted of bank interest income, exchange rate differences and certain sundry incomes.

Income tax expense
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we incurred income tax expense of $279,291 compared to $523,985 for the three months ended March 31, 2021, representing a decrease of $244,694 or 46.7% as compared with the prior period. The income tax expenses were charged in China.
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, our income tax expenses comprised of current tax and deferred tax expenses of $204,070 and $75,221, respectively, compared to $393,551 and $130,434 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The decrease of the current tax and deferred tax was mainly aligned with the reduction of revenue and gross profit during the period.
Net income
As a result of the above, we generated a net income of $391,173 and $966,636 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Cash generated from operating activities
Net cash generated from operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $101,596, as compared to net cash generated from operating activities of $202,200 for the three months ended March 31, 2021, representing a decrease of $100,604 or 49.8% as compared with the prior period. The decrease of operating cash flows was mainly resulted from a combination of below operating activities changes:
Net income was $391,173 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to $966,636 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The decrease of net income of $575,463 or 59.5% was mainly due to the reduction of certain performance-based arrangement consultancy services during the period which directly reduced our operating cash inflow; while we had incurred more general and administrative expenses in complying with the relevant reporting requirements.
Cash inflow of deferred tax was $76,023 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to cash outflow of $385,686 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The cash inflow of $76,023 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was mainly resulted from the recognition of withholding tax arising from the undistributed profits of our PRC subsidiary, while the cash outflow of $385,686 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was mainly due to our PRC subsidiary distributed dividends to our Hong Kong subsidiary during the period.
4
Cash outflow of trade receivables was $266,748 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to cash outflow of $44,332 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The cash outflow of $266,748 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was due to certain consultancy services income were not settled to the customers before the end of period.
Cash inflow of tax payables was $159,941 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to cash outflow of $154,088 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The cash inflow of $154,941 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was mainly due to the business reduction during the period and we provided current income tax of $204,070, netting off with $44,397 income tax paid during the period. The cash outflow of $154,088 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was mainly due to the current income tax provision of $393,551, netting off with $516,120 income tax paid during the prior period.
As we are continually to explore new business opportunities and new customers, we expect to generate more cash inflows in the coming years. We continue to monitor our level of operating expenses in order to maintain a positive cash flow position. Therefore, we do not consider the decrease of net cash generated from operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as an identified trend to our operating cash flow.
Cash (used in) generated from investing activities
Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $8,554 as compared net cash of $2,366,499 generated from investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 were mainly due to the purchase of property, plant and equipment during the period; while the net cash generated from investing activities was mainly due to the redemption of debt products of $5,706,160 offset by the acquisition of debt products of $2,775,970.
Cash used in financing activities
The net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was mainly due to the repayment of borrowings of $128,908 during the period. No cash was incurred in financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2022.
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 March 31, 2022:

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 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.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of condensed financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires our management to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported, including the notes thereto, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any. We have identified certain accounting policies that are significant to the preparation of our financial statements. These accounting policies are important for an understanding of our financial condition and results of operation. Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require management’s difficult, subjective, or complex judgment, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting the estimate may differ significantly from management’s current judgments. We believe the following critical accounting policies involve the most significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of our financial statements.

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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
The interim condensed consolidated financial information as of March 31, 2022 and for the three month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 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, 2021, previously filed with the SEC on April 15, 2022.
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company experienced (and continues to experience) adverse impacts of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) and the related public health orders. In December 2021, there was a COVID-19 outbreak in Xian city, the PRC. Finally, the Company expects that the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the United States and world economies will continue to have a material adverse impact on the demand for the Company’s business. Because of the significant uncertainties surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, the extent of the business interruption and the related financial impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.
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. Identified below are the accounting policies that reflect the Company’s most significant estimates and judgments, and those that the Company believes are the most critical to fully understanding and evaluating its condensed consolidated financial statements.
The COVID-19 pandemic has created and may continue to create significant uncertainty in macroeconomic conditions, which may cause further business slowdowns or shutdowns, depress demand for the Company’s business, and adversely impact its results of operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company faced increasing uncertainties around its estimates of revenue collectability and accounts receivable credit losses. The Company expects uncertainties around its key accounting estimates to continue to evolve depending on the duration and degree of impact associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. Its estimates may change as new events occur and additional information emerges, and such changes are recognized or disclosed in its condensed consolidated financial statements.
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 March 31, 2022, 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 March 31, 2022.
| 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 limited transactions in our bank accounts.. |
| 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. |
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 March 31, 2022. 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 March 31, 2022, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting subsequent to the date of management’s last evaluation.

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, 2021, filed with the SEC on April 15, 2022, 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.
