If management is unable to execute its plan, the Company may become insolvent.

Management has eliminated all significant inter-company balances and transactions in preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts on the prior-years’ consolidated balance sheets and statement of operations were reclassified to reflect discontinued operations, with no effect on ending stockholders’ equity.
Use of Estimates
The financial statements preparation requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Management evaluates estimates, including the allowance for credit losses of accounts receivable, amounts due from related parties and equity investments, the useful lives of our property and equipment, impairment of long-lived assets, long-term investments and goodwill, etc. Management bases the estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
F-10
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments
purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had cash and
cash equivalents of $
Accounts Receivable, Net
Accounts receivables are recognized and carried at the original invoice amount less allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An estimate for doubtful accounts is made when the amount is not expected to be collected. Delinquent amount balances are written off against the allowance for doubtful amounts after the management has determined that the likelihood of collection is not probable.
Inventories
Inventories consist of raw materials and finished goods, stated at the lower of cost or market value. Finished goods are comprised of direct materials, direct labor, inbound shipping costs, and allocated overhead. An annual impairment test will be performed on inventory, and any excess of the recoverable amount over the carrying amount will be recognized as impairment losses in the current period.
Advances and Prepayments to Suppliers
The Company makes an advance payment to suppliers and vendors for the procurement of raw materials. Upon physical receipt and inspection of the raw materials from suppliers, the applicable amount is reclassified from advances and prepayments to suppliers to inventory. At the end of each fiscal year, we undertake a thorough examination of prepaid expenses and contractual terms, analyze the causes of delayed receipt of corresponding valuable goods, calculate recoverable amounts using a probability-weighted average method for unrecoverable amounts, and make provisions for impairment as deemed necessary.
Plant and Equipment
Plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated
depreciation. Depreciation is provided over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. The Company typically applies
a salvage value of
| Buildings | ||||
| Machinery and equipment | ||||
| Motor vehicles | ||||
| Office equipment |
The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired are eliminated from the accounts, and any gain or loss is included in the Company’s results of operations. The costs of maintenance and repairs are recognized as incurred; significant renewals and betterments are capitalized.
Intangible Assets
| Land use rights | ||||
| Software licenses | ||||
| Trademarks |
F-11
Construction in Progress and Prepayments for Equipment
Construction in progress and prepayments for equipment represent direct and indirect acquisition and construction costs for plants and fees of purchase and installation of related equipment. Amounts classified as construction in progress and prepayments for equipment are transferred to plant and equipment when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the assets for their intended use are completed. Depreciation is not provided for assets classified in this account.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired in a business combination. The Company conducts an annual assessment of its goodwill for impairment. If the carrying value of its goodwill exceeds its fair value, then impairment has been incurred; accordingly, a charge to the Company’s operations results will be recognized during the period. Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed. Fair value is generally determined using a discounted expected future cash flow analysis.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
The Company annually reviews its long-lived assets for impairment or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. Impairment may become obsolete from a difference in the industry, introduction of new technologies, or if the Company has inadequate working capital to utilize the long-lived assets to generate adequate profits. Impairment is present if the carrying amount of an asset is less than its expected future undiscounted cash flows.
If an asset is considered impaired, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of are reported lower the carrying amount or fair value fewer costs to selling.
Statutory Reserves
Statutory reserves refer to the amount appropriated
from the net income following laws or regulations, which can be used to recover losses and increase capital, as approved, and are to be
used to expand production or operations. PRC laws prescribe that an enterprise operating at a profit must appropriate and reserve, on
an annual basis, an amount equal to
Foreign Currency Translation
The accompanying financial statements are presented
in United States dollars. The functional currency of the Company is the Renminbi (RMB). The Company’s assets and liabilities are

Revenue Recognition
The Company adopted ASC 606 “Revenue Recognition.” It recognizes revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.
The Company derives its revenues from selling explosion-proof skid-mounted refueling device, SF double-layer buried oil storage tank, high-grade synthetic fuel products, industrial formaldehyde solution, urea-formaldehyde pre-condensate (UFC), methylal, urea-formaldehyde glue for environment-friendly artificial board chemicals, food products like frozen fruits, beef & mutton products and vegetables and tea products. The Company recognizes product revenue at a point in time when the control of the products has been transferred to customers. The Company applies the following five steps to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as it fulfills its obligations under each of its agreements:
| ● | identify the contract with a customer; |
| ● | identify the performance obligations in the contract; |
| ● | determine the transaction price; |
| ● | allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and; |
| ● | Recognize revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied. |
Advertising
All advertising costs are expensed as incurred.
Shipping and Handling
All outbound shipping and handling costs are expensed as incurred.
Research and Development
All research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
Retirement Benefits
Retirement benefits in the form of mandatory government-sponsored defined contribution plans are charged to either expense as incurred or allocated to inventory as part of overhead.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income tax using an asset and liability approach and recognizes deferred tax benefits in future years. Under the asset and liability approach, deferred taxes are provided for the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets. If it is more likely than not, these items will either expire before the Company can realize their benefits or uncertain future realization.
Comprehensive Income
The Company uses Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC Topic 220, “Reporting Comprehensive Income.” Comprehensive income is comprised of net income and all changes to the statements of stockholders’ equity, except the changes in paid-in capital and distributions to stockholders due to investments by stockholders.
F-13
Earnings Per Share
The Company computes earnings per share (“EPS”) following ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per share.” Basic EPS is measured as the income or loss available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS presents the dilutive effect on a per-share basis from the potential conversion of convertible securities or the exercise of options and or warrants; the dilutive impacts of potentially convertible securities are calculated using the as-if method; the potentially dilutive effect of options or warranties are computed using the treasury stock method. Potentially anti-dilutive securities (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from diluted EPS calculation.
Fair Value Measurements of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments, including cash and equivalents, accounts and other receivables, accounts and other payables, accrued liabilities, and short-term debt, have carrying amounts that approximate their fair values due to their short maturities. ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” requires disclosing the Company’s fair value of financial instruments. ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments,” defines fair value and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for receivables and current liabilities qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of their fair values because of the short period between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:
| ● | Level 1 - inputs to the valuation methodology used quoted prices 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 information that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the financial instrument’s full term. |
| ● | Level 3 - inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. |
Lease
Effective December 31, 2018, the Company adopted
ASU 2016-02, “Leases” (Topic 842), and elected the practical expedients that do not require us to reassess: (1) whether any
expired or existing contracts are, or contain, leases, (2) lease classification for any expired or existing leases and (3) initial direct
costs for any expired or existing leases. For lease terms of
Lease terms used to calculate the present value of lease payments generally do not include any options to extend, renew, or terminate the lease, as the Company does not have reasonable certainty at lease inception that these options will be exercised. The Company generally considers the economic life of its operating lease ROU assets to be comparable to the useful life of similar owned assets. The Company has elected the short-term lease exception, therefore operating lease ROU assets and liabilities do not include leases with a lease term of twelve months or less. Its leases generally do not provide a residual guarantee. The operating lease ROU asset also excludes lease incentives. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Company reviews the impairment of its ROU assets consistent with the approach applied for its other long-lived assets. The Company reviews the recoverability of its long-lived assets when events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. The assessment of possible impairment is based on its ability to recover the carrying value of the asset from the expected undiscounted future pre-tax cash flows of the related operations. The Company has elected to include the carrying amount of operating lease liabilities in any tested asset group and it includes the associated operating lease payments in the undiscounted future pre-tax cash flows.
As of September 30, 2024, the lease agreement with JSSH has lapsed and the company does not have any current lease agreements exceeding 12 months.
F-14
Equity Investments
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01 (“ASU 2016-01”), Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which, among other things, generally requires companies to measure investments in other entities, except those accounted for under the equity method, at fair value and to recognize any changes in fair value in net income. ASU 2016-01 also simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment. ASU 2016-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and the guidance should be applied by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The guidance related to equity investments without readily determinable fair values (including disclosure requirements) is applied prospectively to equity investments that exist as of the date of adoption. ASU 2016-01, which the Company adopted on January 1, 2018, did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Investments in entities over which the Company does not have significant influence are recorded as equity investments and are accounted for either at fair value with any changes recognized in net income, or for those without readily determinable fair values, at cost less impairment, adjusted for subsequent observable price changes. Under the equity method, the Company’s share of the post-acquisition profits or losses of equity investments is recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of comprehensive income; and the Company’s share of post-acquisition movements in equity is recognized in equity in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Unrealized gains on transactions between the Company and an entity in which the Company has recorded an equity investment are eliminated to the extent of the Company’s interest in the entity. To the extent of the Company’s interest in the investment, unrealized losses are eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. When the Company’s share of losses in an entity in which the Company has recorded an equity investment equals or exceeds its interest in the entity, the Company does not recognize further losses, unless the Company has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the equity investee.
Commitments and Contingencies
From time to time, the Company is a party to various legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. The majority of these claims and proceedings related to or arise from commercial disputes. The Company first determine whether a loss from a claim is probable, and if it is reasonable to estimate the potential loss. The Company accrues costs associated with these matters when they become probable, and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred. Also, the Company disclose a range of possible losses, if a loss from a claim is probable but the amount of loss cannot be reasonably estimated, which is in line with the applicable requirements of Accounting Standard Codification 450. The Company’s management does not expect any liability from the disposition of such claims and litigation individually or in the aggregate would have a material adverse impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The amended guidance requires incremental reportable segment disclosures, primarily about significant segment expenses. The amendments also require entities with a single reportable segment to provide all disclosures required by these amendments, and all existing segment disclosures. The amendments will be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company has adopted this accounting standard, effective January 1, 2024. Management assessed the adoption of this standard on the effective date and concluded that the adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The amended guidance enhances income tax disclosures primarily related to the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. This guidance requires disclosure of specific categories in the effective tax rate reconciliation and further information on reconciling items meeting a quantitative threshold. In addition, the amended guidance requires disaggregating income taxes paid (net of refunds received) by federal, state, and foreign taxes. It also requires disaggregating individual jurisdictions in which income taxes paid (net of refunds received) is equal to or greater than 5 percent of total income taxes paid (net of refunds received). The amended guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The guidance can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact this amended guidance may have on the footnotes to its consolidated financial statements.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.

3. Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”)
A VIE is an entity that has either a total equity investment that is insufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support or whose equity investors lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest, such as through voting rights, right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity or obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity. If any, the variable interest holder with a controlling financial interest in a VIE is deemed the primary beneficiary and must consolidate the VIE. PLAG WOFE is deemed to have the controlling financial interest and be the primary beneficiary of Jilin Chuangyuan Chemical Co., Ltd because it has both of the following characteristics:
| 1) | The power to direct activities at Jilin Chuangyuan Chemical Co., Ltd. that most significantly impact such entity’s economic performance, and |
| 2) | The obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive benefits from Jilin Chuangyuan Chemical Co., Ltd that could potentially be significant to such entity. Under the Contractual Arrangements, Jilin Chuangyuan Chemical Co., Ltd pay service fees equal to all of its net income to PLAG WFOE. At the same time, PLAG WFOE is obligated to absorb all of the Jilin Chuangyuan Chemical Co., Ltd.’s losses. The Contractual Arrangements are designed to operate Jilin Chuangyuan Chemical Co., Ltd for the benefit of PLAG WFOE and ultimately, the Company. Accordingly, the accounts of Jilin Chuangyuan Chemical Co., Ltd are consolidated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. In addition, those financial positions and results of operations are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. |

United States

Additionally, the Act imposes a one-time transition tax on deemed repatriation of historical earnings of foreign subsidiaries, and future foreign earnings are subject to U.S. taxation. The change in rate has caused the Company to remeasure all U.S. deferred income tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences and NOLs and recorded one time income tax payable to be paid in 8 years. However, this one-time transition tax has no effect on the Company’s income tax expenses as the Company has no undistributed foreign earnings prior to September 30, 2024 which the Company has foreign cumulative losses at September 30, 2024.

The Company evaluated the provisions of ASC 740 related to the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how a company should recognize, present, and disclose uncertain positions that the company has taken or expects to take in its tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. Differences between tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and the net benefit recognized and measured pursuant to the interpretation are referred to as “unrecognized benefits.” A liability is recognized (or amount of net operating loss carry forward or amount of tax refundable is reduced) for unrecognized tax benefit because it represents an enterprise’s potential future obligation to the taxing authority for a tax position that was not recognized as a result of applying the provisions of ASC 740.

A. Credit risk
The Company’s deposits are made
with banks located in the PRC. Cash maintained in banks within the People’s Republic of China of less than RMB
Since the Company’s inception, the age of account receivables has been less than one year, indicating that the Company is subject to the minimal risk borne from credit extended to customers.
B. Interest risk
The Company is subject to interest rate risk when short-term and long-term loans become due and require refinancing.
C. Economic and political risks
The Company’s operations are conducted in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations may be influenced by changes in the political, economic, and legal environments in the PRC.
20. Contingencies
The Group records accruals for certain of its outstanding legal proceedings or claims when it is probable that a liability will be incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. The Group evaluates, on a quarterly basis, developments in legal proceedings or claims that could affect the amount of any accrual, as well as any developments that would make a loss contingency both probable and reasonably estimable. The Group discloses the amount of the accrual if it is material.
When a loss contingency is not both probable and estimable, the Group does not record an accrued liability but discloses the nature and the amount of the claim, if material. However, if the loss (or an additional loss in excess of the accrual) is at least reasonably possible, then the Group discloses an estimate of the loss or range of loss, unless it is immaterial or an estimate cannot be made. The assessment of whether a loss is probable or reasonably possible, and whether the loss or a range of loss is estimable, often involves complex judgments about future events. Management is often unable to estimate the loss or a range of loss, particularly where (i) the damages sought are indeterminate, (ii) the proceedings are in the early stages, or (iii) there is a lack of clear or consistent interpretation of laws specific to the industry-specific complaints among different jurisdictions. In such cases, there is considerable uncertainty regarding the timing or ultimate resolution of such matters, including eventual loss, fine, penalty or business impact, if any. The Company has analyzed its operations subsequent to September 30, 2024 to the date these consolidated financial statements were issued, and has determined that it does not have any material contingency events to disclose.
21. Subsequent Events
The Company evaluates subsequent events that have occurred after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued. There are two types of subsequent events: (1) recognized, or those that provide additional evidence with respect to conditions that existed at the dates of the balance sheets, including the estimates inherent in the process of preparing financial statements, and (2) non-recognized, or those that provide evidence with respect to conditions that did not exist at the date of the balance sheet but arose subsequent to that date. The Company has analyzed its operations subsequent to September 30, 2024 to the date these financial statements were issued, and has determined that it does not have any material events to disclose.

Net Revenues. Our net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2024 amounted to $1.81 million, which represents a decrease of approximately $1.71 million, or 49%, from $3.52 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in revenue can be attributed to the stagnant sales of high-grade synthetic fuel products, which decreased from $2.57 million to $1.43 million during the current period, and a decline in beef products sales from $0.84 million to $0.34 million.
Cost of Revenues. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we experienced a decrease in cost of revenue of $1,69 million or 50%, in comparison to the three months ended September 30, 2023, from approximately $3.39 million to $1.70 million. This change was mainly due to a decrease in sales of revenue, as discussed above.
Gross Profit. Our gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2024 decreased by $0.01 million, representing a 13% decrease to $0.12 million compared to $0.13 million for the same period in 2023. The decrease was attributed to a decrease in sales of revenue, as discussed above.

Operating Expenses
Selling and Marketing Expenses. Our selling and marketing expenses decreased by $0.20 million, or 87%, to $0.03 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 from $0.23 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. This decrease was mainly due to the aforementioned reasons, attributable to a decrease in sales of revenue. The selling and marketing expenses mainly come from transportation and storage cost and the sales staff salaries cost decline.
General and Administrative Expenses. Our general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2024 decreased slightly by $0.03 million, or 2%, to $1.15 million compared to the previous year’s $1.18 million for the same period.
Net Income
Our net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2024 decreased by $0.09 million, to $1.19 million from $1.28 million in the same period in 2023. This increase was primarily attributed to the decrease of selling and marketing expenses, as discussed above.

Net Revenues. Our net revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $5.29 million, representing a decrease of approximately $10.16 million or 66% from the same period last year’s $15.44 million. The decrease in revenue can be attributed to the stagnant sales of high-grade synthetic fuel products, which decreased from $6.85 million to $3.36 million during the current period, and a decline in food product sales from $8.14 million to $1.34 million.
Cost of Revenues.

This change was mainly due to a decrease in revenue, as discussed above.

Our gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 increased by $0.08 million, representing a 16% increase to $0.55 million compared to $0.47 million for the same period in 2023.

Operating Expenses
Selling and Marketing Expenses. Our selling and marketing expenses decreased by $0.61 million, or 85%, to $0.11 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from $0.72 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. This decrease was mainly due to the aforementioned reasons, attributable to a decrease in sales of revenue.
General and Administrative Expenses. Our general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 increased by $0.33 million, or 10%, to $3.58 million compared to the previous year’s $3.25 million for the same period. The decrease was primarily due to increase in allowance for doubtful accounts in the amount of $0.22 million.
Net Loss
Our net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 decreased by $10.78 million, or 73%, to $3.99 million from $14.76 million in the same period in 2023. This decrease was primarily attributed to the loss on disposal of equity investments.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
In assessing our liquidity, we monitor and analyze our cash-on-hand and operating and capital expenditure commitments. Our liquidity needs meet our working capital requirements, operating expenses, and capital expenditure obligations. In the reporting period at September 30, 2024, our primary sources of financing have been cash generated from operations and private placements.
As of September 30, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $227,492 compared to $270,317 as of December 31, 2023. The debt to assets ratio was 63.0% and 54.4% as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. We expect to continue to finance our operations and working capital needs in 2024 from cash generated from operations and, if needed, private financings. Suppose available liquidity is insufficient to meet our operating and loan obligations as they come due. In that case, our plans include pursuing alternative financing arrangements or reducing expenditures as necessary to meet our cash requirements. However, there is no assurance that we will raise additional capital or reduce discretionary spending to provide liquidity if needed. We cannot be sure of the availability or terms of any alternative financing arrangements.
Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern; however, the Company has incurred a net loss of $4,342,017 from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. As of September 30, 2024 the Company had an accumulated deficit of $144,711,504, a working capital deficit of $8,938,115, its net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $48,461.
These factors raise substantial doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Management’s plan for the Company’s continued existence is dependent upon management’s ability to execute the business plan, develop the plan to generate profit; additionally, Management may need to continue to rely on private placements or certain related parties to provide funding for investment, for working capital and general corporate purposes. If management is unable to execute its plan, the Company may become insolvent.

| Net cash flows (used in) provided by investing activities | (20 | ) | 2,699 | |||||

Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $0.05 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $4.18 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. This change was primarily due to increase in net operating assets and liabilities of $4.56 million and was partially offset by a decrease in cash provided by operating activities from discontinued operations of $0.16 million.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $0.02 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $2.70 million provided by investing activities for the same period in 2023. This change is primarily due to a reduction in proceeds from disposal of equity method investments of $2.77 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
Financing Activities
The net cash used in financing activities was $0.10 during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $1.47 million for the same period in 2023. This change can be attributed to a rise in loan to related parties.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with the United States generally accepted accounting principles requires our management to make assumptions, estimates, and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements, including the notes to that, and related disclosures of commitments contingencies, if any.
We consider our critical accounting policies to require the more significant judgments and estimates in preparing financial statements, including those outlined in Note 2 to the financial statements included herein.
The Company has evaluated the timing and the impact of the guidance above on the financial statements.
As of September 30, 2024, there were no other recently issued accounting standards not yet adopted that would or could have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance arrangements.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are a smaller reporting company as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. As a result, pursuant to Item 305(e) of Regulation S-K, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2024. Based upon their evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15 (e) and 15d-15 (e) under the Exchange Act) were not effective as of September 30, 2024.
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
We have identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2024, relating to ineffective review and approval procedures over journal entries and financial statement preparation which resulted in errors not being timely identified in prior period financial statements, such as the overstatement of income of our discontinued operation and other errors in connection with the disposal of Allinyson Ltd., our wholly-owned subsidiary, on April 1, 2024. We concluded that the failure to timely identify such accounting errors constituted material weakness as defined in the SEC regulations. As such, management determined that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15 (e) and 15d-15 (e) under the Exchange Act) were not effective as of September 30, 2024.
To respond to this material weakness, we have devoted, and plan to continue to devote, significant effort and resources to the remediation and improvement of our internal control over financial reporting. While we have processes to identify and appropriately apply applicable accounting requirements, we plan to enhance our system of evaluating and implementing the complex accounting standards that apply to our financial statements. Our plans at this time include providing enhanced access to accounting literature, research materials and documents and increased communication among our personnel and third-party professionals with whom we consult regarding complex accounting applications. The elements of our remediation plan can only be accomplished over the time, and we can offer no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately have the intended effects, or that any additional material weaknesses or of financial results will not arise in the future due to a failure to implement and maintain adequate internal control over financial reporting or circumvention of these controls. Even if we are successful in strengthening our controls and procedures, in the future those controls and procedures may not be adequate to prevent or identify irregularities or errors or to facilitate the fair presentation of our financial statements.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the most recently completed fiscal quarter, other than as discussed above, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
