NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) applicable to quarterly financial information and the requirements of Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosure required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. Quarterly results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations and cash flows for the quarterly periods have been included.
These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended September 30, 2021 included in the Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on February 8, 2022.
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. This basis of accounting involves the application of accrual accounting and consequently, revenues and gains are recognized when earned, and expenses and losses are recognized when incurred. The condensed consolidated financial statements are expressed in U.S. dollars.
Basis of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, its subsidiaries and variable interest entity (“VIE”). All significant intercompany transactions and balances within the Company have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimate and assumptions that impact the presented amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the presented amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Significant estimates during the six months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 include the collectability of receivables, the useful lives of long-lived assets and intangibles, assumptions used in assessing impairment of long-lived assets, valuation of accruals for expenses and tax due.
| 11 |
Going Concern
The
accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern basis. The going-concern basis
assures that assets are realized and liabilities are extinguished in the ordinary course of business at amounts disclosed on the financial
statements. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern depends on the liquidation of its current assets and business
developments. In assessing the Company’s liquidity, the Company monitors and analyzes its cash and cash equivalents and its operating
and capital expenditure commitments. The Company’s liquidity needs are to meet its working capital requirements, operating expenses,
and capital expenditure obligations. For the six months ended March 31, 2022, the Company incurred cash outflows from operating activities
of $
The Company continues to monitor its operations to help refine the Company’s financial liquidity. Options under consideration in the review process include, but not limited to, increase of sales on its online business, reduction of overhead costs, fund advance from the Company’s stockholders and directors, or financing through issuance of shares. The Company continues to focus on increasing its revenue through its online platform and slimming its administrative costs. For example, we reduced the compensation and benefits of our executives, decreased office supplies expense and trimmed executive travel expenses. Additionally, our director will provide financing to meet our working capital requirements.
In order to continue as a going concern for the next 12 months, the Company continues to focus on increasing its revenue through the sale of health care products on its online platform, King Eagle Mall, streamlining its overhead costs or obtaining a financing from its stockholders or directors. However, the Company cannot provide any assurance that it will be able to increase revenue, that it will be able to successfully implement its business plan, or that financing that will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The directors will continue to support the group by providing adequate financial assistance to enable the group to continue its business operations for the foreseeable future.
COVID-19 Outbreak
Since
the second quarter of 2022, the situation of COVID-19 in the PRC intensified, the PRC central and local government continued to maintain
restrictions, quarantines, and closures in certain affected areas. The approval process of our applications for the construction permits
of smart kiosks was delayed by the local governmental agencies and the construction project of smart kiosks was also postponed. The Company
continues to focus its business through its online platform, King Eagle Mall, to mitigate the adverse impacts by COVID-19 and follows
up closely with the local governmental agencies for the application for the construction permits of smart kiosks. In fact, the pandemic
increased the overall public health consciousness in the PRC and the Company continued to incur a significant growth in its average monthly
online sale revenue by $
The Company does not expect that the coronavirus COVID-19 will have a material adverse effect on its online business or financial results at this time. Still, it is not possible to predict the unanticipated consequence of the pandemic on our future business performance and liquidity due to the severity of the situation of COVID-19 in the PRC. The Company continues to monitor and assess the evolving situation closely and evaluate its potential exposure.
Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to the holders of ordinary shares by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year. Diluted income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to the holders of ordinary shares as adjusted for the effect of dilutive ordinary share equivalents, if any, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive ordinary share equivalents outstanding during the period. However, ordinary share equivalents are not included in the denominator of the diluted earnings per share calculation when inclusion of such shares would be anti-dilutive, such as in a period in which a net loss is recorded.
| 12 |
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We consider all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. We maintain with various financial institutions in PRC. As of March 31, 2022 and September 30, 2021, cash balances held in PRC banks are uninsured. We have not experienced any losses in bank accounts and believes we are not exposed to any risks on our cash in bank accounts.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is comprised of sales of goods and represents the amount of consideration the Company is entitled to upon the transfer of goods. Revenue was recorded on a gross basis, net of surcharges and value added tax (“VAT”) of gross sales. The Company recorded revenue on a gross basis because the Company is the primary obligor of the sales arrangements has latitude in establishing prices, has discretion in suppliers’ selection and assumes credit risks on receivables on gross sales from customers.
Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue results from transactions where the Company has received the payments from the customers but revenue recognition criteria under the five-step model of ASC Topic 606 have yet to be met. Once all revenue recognition criteria have been satisfied, the revenues will be recognized upon the transfer of risk and rewards to the customers in the consolidated statement of operations.
Lease
The Company adopted ASC Topic 842 using the modified retrospective transition method on July 1, 2020. There was no cumulative effect of initially applying ASC Topic 842 that required an adjustment to the opening retained earnings on the adoption date nor revision of the balances in comparative periods. As a result of the adoption, the Company recognized a lease liability and right-of-use asset for each of the existing lease arrangement.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
Income Taxes. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which modifies and eliminates certain exceptions to the general principles of ASC 740, Income Taxes. This standard was effective for KPIL after September 30, 2021. The Company evaluated that this new guidance does not have significant impact on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Accounting Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Adopted
Financial Instruments. In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326)” (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 revises the methodology for measuring credit losses on financial instruments and the timing of when such losses are recorded. Originally, ASU 2016-13 was effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. In November 2019, FASB issued ASU 2019-10, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842).” This ASU defers the effective date of ASU 2016-13 for public companies that are considered smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is planning to adopt this standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2023. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effects of adopting the provisions of ASU No. 2016-13 on its consolidated financial statements.
During the period from April 2022 through May 2022, the FASB has not issued additional accounting standards updates.

Reverse acquisition
On May 17, 2021, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement (“Share Exchange Agreement”) with (i) Kun Peng International Holding Limited (“KP International”), a limited liability company incorporated in British Virgin Islands on April 20, 2021, and (ii) the five members of KP International to acquire all the issued and outstanding capital stock of KP International in exchange for the issuance to those members of an aggregate of shares of our common stock (“Reverse Acquisition”). Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, and as a condition to the completion of the transactions contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company also agreed to enter into an agreement with Wenhai Xia (“the Stockholder”), to cancel an aggregate of shares of the Company’s Common Stock owned by the Stockholder. The Reverse Acquisition was completed on May 17, 2021.
| 19 |
For accounting purpose, the transaction with KP International was treated as a reverse acquisition and KP International is deemed to be the acquirer and the Company as the acquired party. Consequently, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that will be reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements prior to the Reverse Acquisition will be those of KP International and its consolidated subsidiaries and will be recorded at the historical cost basis of KP International, and the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements after consummation of the reverse acquisition will include the assets and liabilities of KP International and its subsidiaries and VIE, historical operations of KP International and its subsidiaries and VIE, and operations of the Company from the Closing Date of the Reverse Acquisition. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements share and per share information has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the exchanged shares in the Acquisition. The equity structure of the Company was retrospectively adjusted under ASC Topic 805-40.

Restricted net assets:
Our ability to pay dividends is primarily dependent on us receiving distributions of funds from its subsidiary or VIE. Relevant PRC statutory laws and regulations permit payments of dividends by only out of its retained earnings, if any, as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations and after it has met the PRC requirements for appropriation to statutory reserves. Share capital of the PRC subsidiary and VIE included in the Company’s consolidated net assets are also non-distributable for dividend purposes. The results of operations reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP differ from those reflected in the statutory financial statements of King Eagle (China), the foreign-invested enterprise, King Eagle (Tianjin), the VIE and KP Tian Yu. The Company is required to set aside at least 10% of their after-tax profits each year, if any, to fund certain statutory reserve funds until such reserve funds reach 50% of its registered capital. In addition, the Company may allocate a portion of its after-tax profits based on PRC accounting standards to enterprise expansion fund and staff bonus and welfare fund at its discretion. The statutory reserve funds and the discretionary funds are not distributable as cash dividends.
As
a result of the foregoing restrictions, King Eagle (China), King Eagle (Tianjin) and KP Tian Yu are restricted in their ability to transfer
their net assets to the Company. Foreign exchange and other regulation in the PRC may further restrict these two entities from transferring
funds to the Company in the form of dividends, loans, and advances. As of March 31, 2022 and September 30, 2021, the Company had negative
net assets which included common stock, additional paid-in capital, accumulated deficit, and foreign exchange translation adjustment
of its subsidiaries in BVI, Hong Kong and the PRC and the VIE that are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Since KP Industrial and KP (Hong Kong) are wholly owned and under the control of KP International, these entities are connected entities. Under the Ordinance, it is an entity’s election to nominate the entity that will be subject to the two-tier profits tax rates on its profits tax return. The election is irrevocable. The Company elected KP (Hong Kong) to be subject to the two-tier profits tax rates. KP Industrial and KP (Hong Kong) did not earn any income that was derived in Hong Kong for three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 and for the six months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021; therefore, KP Industrial and KP (Hong Kong) were not subject to Hong Kong profits tax for the periods reported.

Uncertain tax positions
The Company files tax returns as prescribed by the tax laws of the jurisdictions in which it operates. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by the respective jurisdictions, where applicable. The statute of limitations for the tax returns varies by jurisdictions.
The statute of limitations for the Internal Revenue Services to assess the income tax returns on a taxpayer expires three years from the due date of the income tax return or the date on which it was filed, whichever is later.
In accordance with the Hong Kong profits tax regulations, a tax assessment by the IRD may be initiated within six years after the relevant year of assessment, but extendable to 10 years in the case of potential willful underpayment or evasion.
In accordance with PRC Tax Administration Law on the Levying and Collection of Taxes, the PRC tax authorities generally have up to five years to assess underpaid tax plus penalties and interest for PRC entities’ tax filings. In the case of tax evasion, which is not clearly defined in the law, there is no limitation on the tax years open for investigation. Accordingly, the PRC entities remain subject to examination by the tax authorities based on the above.
As of March 31, 2022 and September 30, 2021, the Company did not accrue any liability, interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions in the provision for income taxes in its consolidated financial statements.

Item 2. Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations
Overview of the Business
Due to global health issues and the pandemic, people have increased their health and nutrition consciousness. We believe preventive care is the most effective investment in health. To promote the awareness of preventive care to the people in the PRC, we have developed and launched our mobile social e-commerce platform (King Eagle Mall). We also started establishing physical (Smart Kiosk) platforms with the cooperation with Guoxin Star Network Co., Ltd.
King Eagle Mall
King Eagle Mall is a mobile social e-commerce platform which was launched in July 2020 and promotes preventive health care products and services as our core business. It adopts the S2B2C business model and integrates many major health care products and services. We focus on health-related products and services. King Eagle Mall is designed to enable health-related products to be sold by us and by third parties. King Eagle Mall’s products are divided into two sectors: self-operated products and selected products which promote preventive health care. Our team screens and examines products that are and will be offered both by us and affiliated merchants. Our major products include health care products such as dietary supplements, nutritional health foods, beauty cosmeceuticals, and other categories (for instance, milk powder, dried fruits) of health foods for supporting the cardiovascular system and bone joint health. We offer collagen peptides, probiotics, and health foods for improving blood circulation and vein health, as well as household products which can promote and improve a healthier lifestyle for our members. We receive customer orders and may arrange fulfillment with our merchants who are responsible for delivery arrangement or fulfill customer orders through our outsourced networks.
At the same time, we operate customer service centers with whom our members can directly communicate for any assistance related to product purchases, suggestions for health care products and services, and delivery logistics.
Smart Kiosk
We introduced “Smart Kiosk” with the support from the previous stakeholder of King Eagle (China), Guoxin Ruilian Group Co., Ltd (“Guoxin Ruilian”), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of CITIC Group Corporation Ltd and a related party of Guoxin Zhengye. The construction of Smart Kiosk was initiated and administered by Guoxin Ruilian Group Co., Ltd. After the completion of the construction of Smart Kiosk, Guoxin Ruilian Group Co., Ltd assigned its wholly-owned subsidiary, Guoxin Star Network Co., Ltd to cooperate with King Eagle (Tianjin) in development of Smart Kiosk. The Smart Kiosk is a physical platform which focuses on developing a “small shop economy.” It is integrated with the King Eagle Mall which creates a “social, health and physical store” to provide people with more professional and comprehensive preventive health care products and services. Smart Kiosk is a principal component of our business.
The smart service kiosk functions as a physical customer service center and community marketing for attracting customers, providing customer services, promoting our 500+ preventive health care and health related household products and introducing concepts of maintaining a healthy life. 5G internet connection is also available for our customers to connect to our online application, King Eagle Mall, so that our customers can access King Eagle Mall and place orders for our products.
Recent Developments
COVID-19 Update
Since the second quarter of 2022, the situation of COVID-19 in the PRC intensified, the PRC central and local government continued to maintain restrictions, quarantines, and closures in certain affected areas. The approval process of our applications for the construction permits of smart kiosks was delayed by the local governmental agencies and the construction project of smart kiosks was also postponed. The Company continues to focus its business through its online platform, King Eagle Mall, to mitigate the adverse impacts by COVID-19 and follows up closely with the local governmental agencies for the application for the construction permits of smart kiosks. In fact, the pandemic increased the overall public health consciousness in the PRC and the Company continued to incur a significant growth in its average monthly online sale revenue by $0.8 million or 207.7% from $0.4 million for the six months ended March 31, 2021 to $1.1 million for the six months ended March 31, 2022, and by $0.1 million or 24.0% from $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 to $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
| 24 |
The Company does not expect that the coronavirus COVID-19 will have a material adverse effect on its online business or financial results at this time. Still, it is not possible to predict the unanticipated consequence of the pandemic on our future business performance and liquidity due to the severity of the situation of COVID-19 in the PRC. The Company continues to monitor and assess the evolving situation closely and evaluate its potential exposure.
Recent Regulatory Developments in China
Under current Chinese laws and regulations, the Company believes that the VIE Agreements are not subject to any government approval. The shareholders of King Eagle (Tianjin) were required to register with SAFE when they established offshore vehicles to hold KP International, and such SAFE registration was effected on May 14, 2021. These shareholders of King Eagle (Tianjin) will have to register their equity pledge arrangement as required under the Equity Pledge Agreement with King Eagle (China). The Company faces uncertainty with respect to future actions by the PRC government that could significantly affect King Eagle (Tianjin)’s financial performance and the enforceability of the VIE Agreements.
On July 6, 2021, the PRC government issued the Opinions on Strictly Cracking Down on Illegal Securities Activities, calling for: (i) tightening oversight of data security, cross-border data flow and administration of classified information, as well as amendments to relevant regulation to specify responsibilities of overseas listed Chinese companies with respect to data security and information security; (ii) enhanced oversight of overseas listed companies as well as overseas equity fundraising and listing by Chinese companies; and (iii) extraterritorial application of China’s securities laws. As the Opinions on Strictly Cracking Down on Illegal Securities Activities were recently issued, there are great uncertainties with respect to the interpretation and implementation thereof. We will closely monitor further developments.
In addition, on July 10, 2021, the Cyberspace Administration of China issued the Measures for Cybersecurity Review (Revision Draft for Comments), or the Measures, for public comments, which propose to authorize the relevant government authorities to conduct cybersecurity review on a range of activities that affect or may affect national security, including listings in foreign countries by companies that possess the personal data of more than one million users. The Measures are soliciting comments and subject to change. As we have less than one million users, we believe that the Measures are not applicable to us even after they take effect in current form. The PRC government is increasingly focused on data security, recently launching cybersecurity review against a number of mobile apps operated by several US-listed Chinese companies, and prohibiting these apps from registering new users during the review period. There are great uncertainties regarding the interpretation and enforcement of PRC laws, rules, and regulations regarding data and privacy security. We may be required to change our data and other business practices and be subject to regulatory investigations, penalties, increased cost of operations, or declines in issuer growth or engagement as a result of these laws and policies. Further, our consulting business with respect to overseas listing and capital raising may be adversely affected.

Going Concern Consideration
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern basis. The going-concern basis assures that assets are realized and liabilities are extinguished in the ordinary course of business at amounts disclosed on the financial statements. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern depends on the liquidation of its current assets and business developments. In assessing the Company’s liquidity, the Company monitors and analyzes its cash and cash equivalents and its operating and capital expenditure commitments. The Company’s liquidity needs are to meet its working capital requirements, operating expenses, and capital expenditure obligations. For the six months ended March 31, 2022, the Company incurred cash outflows from operating activities of $921,748, a net loss of $276,819, and a negative working capital of $2,765,228. Moreover, as the COVID-19 outbreak continues, there is a delay in the progress of construction and approval for the construction permit of smart kiosk. While some areas in the PRC have opened up recently, majority of the areas in the PRC are still under the tighten control and lockdown and the government agencies in those affected areas in the PRC still remain closed. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
The Company continues to monitor its operations to help refine the Company’s financial liquidity. Options under consideration in the review process include, but not limited to, increase of sales on its online business, reduction of overhead costs, fund advance from the Company’s stockholders and directors, or financing through issuance of shares. The Company continues to focus on increasing its revenue through its online platform and slimming its administrative costs. For example, we reduced the compensation and benefits of our executives, decreased office supplies expense and trimmed executive travel expenses. Additionally, our director will provide financing to meet our working capital requirements.
In order to continue as a going concern for the next 12 months, the Company continues to focus on increasing its revenue through the sale of health care products on its online platform, King Eagle Mall, streamlining its overhead costs or obtaining a financing from its stockholders or directors. However, the Company cannot provide any assurance that it will be able to increase revenue, that it will be able to successfully implement its business plan, or that financing that will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The directors will continue to support the group by providing adequate financial assistance to enable the group to continue its business operations for the foreseeable future.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements, including arrangements that would affect our liquidity, capital resources, market risk support, and credit risk support or other benefits.

Future Financings
We will continue to rely on equity sales of our common shares in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to existing stockholders. There is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of the equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund our operations and other activities, or if we are able, there is no guarantee that existing shareholders will not be substantially diluted.
Critical Accounting Policies
We regularly evaluate the accounting policies and estimates that we use to make budgetary and financial statement assumptions. A complete summary of these policies is included in the notes to our financial statements. In general, management’s estimates are based on historical experience, on information from third party professionals, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management.
See Note 2 to the financial statements included herewith and Note 2 to the financial statements on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021, previously filed with the SEC.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to respond to this item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Based on his evaluation as of the end of the quarter ended March 31, 2022, our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer and principal accounting manager, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective such that the information relating to our company, required to be disclosed in our Securities and Exchange Commission reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure as a result of the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting due to the existence of the following material weaknesses:
| ● | A lack of sufficient and adequately trained internal accounting and finance personnel with appropriated understanding of U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting requirement; | |
| ● | A lack of segregation of duties within significant accounts; | |
| ● | A lack of a functioning audit committee and a majority of outside directors on the Company’s board of directors. |

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
As of March 31, 2022, management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in the 2013 updated Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) and SEC guidance on conducting such assessments. Based on that evaluation, management concluded that, during the period covered by this report, such internal controls and procedures were not effective to detect the inappropriate application of US GAAP rules as more fully described below. This was due to deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal controls over financial reporting that adversely affected our internal controls and that are considered to be material weaknesses as described herein above. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or quarterly financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Notwithstanding the existence of these material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, our management believes that the financial statements included in its reports fairly present in all material respects the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. We continue to evaluate the effectiveness of internal controls and procedures on an on-going basis. We are currently hiring additional personnel in financial reporting and accounting, and we are providing trainings to newly hired personnel. In addition, once our cash position improves, we plan to hire an experienced controller and work to build an internal accounting team with sufficient in-house expertise in US GAAP reporting. However, due to the limited cash flow we are currently having, we cannot assure you when we will be able to implement those remediation methods.
Because we are a smaller reporting company, this report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.
(b) Changes in internal controls over financial reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the second fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2022 covered by this report that has materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting other than the facts disclosed above.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings

There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry, or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the executive officers of our Company, threatened against or affecting our Company, or our common stock, in which an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect.
