No other financial asset carries a significant exposure to credit risk. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of each customer’s financial condition. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts and such allowances in the aggregate have not exceeded management’s estimates.
The
Company has its cash in bank deposits primarily at state owned banks located in the PRC. Historically, deposits in PRC banks have been
secured due to the state policy of protecting depositors’ interests. The PRC promulgated a Bankruptcy Law in August 2006, effective
June 1, 2007, which contains provisions for the implementation of measures for the bankruptcy of PRC banks. The bank deposits with financial
institutions in the PRC are insured by the government authority for up to RMB
Interest Rate Risk – The Company is exposed to the risk arising from changing interest rates, which may affect the ability of repayment of existing debts and viability of securing future debt instruments within the PRC.
Currency Risk - A majority of the Company’s revenue and expense transactions are denominated in RMB and a significant portion of the Company’s assets and liabilities are denominated in RMB. RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currencies. In the PRC, certain foreign exchange transactions are required by law to be transacted only by authorized financial institutions at exchange rates set by the People’s Bank of China (“PBOC”). Remittances in currencies other than RMB by the Company in China must be processed through the PBOC or other China foreign exchange regulatory bodies which require certain supporting documentation in order to affect the remittance.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company’s subsidiary Sichuan Wetouch was temporarily shut down from early February 2020 to early March 2020 in accordance with the requirement of the local governments. The Company’s business was negatively impacted and generated lower revenue and net income during the period from February to April 2020. Our business gradually recovered to its normal level during the three-months and six-months periods ended June 30, 2021, due to our proactive efforts in marketing new models such as POS touchscreens and penetrating into new customers and into new regions.

Recent Developments
Hong Kong Wetouch Technology Limited, a limited company organized under the laws of Hong Kong (“HK Wetouch”), an affiliate of Guangde Cai, our Chairman and Director, was incorporated on December 3, 2020 under the laws of Hong Kong. HK Wetouch was established to own all the outstanding shares of Sichuan Vtouch Technology Co., Ltd., which was incorporated on December 30, 2020 (“Sichuan Vtouch”) in Chengdu, Sichuan, under the laws of The People’s Republic of China (“PRC”).
On March 12, 2021, Wetouch Holding Group Limited (“BVI Wetouch”), the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, acquired all the outstanding shares of HK Wetouch from the sole shareholder of HK Wetouch, Guangde Cai, in consideration of the payment of HK$10,000 pursuant to instruments of transfer in accordance with Hong Kong law. As a result of the acquisition, HK Wetouch became a wholly-owned subsidiary of BVI Wetouch. BVI Wetouch owns (i) all the outstanding shares of Hong Kong Wetouch, which, in turn, owns all the outstanding shares of Sichuan Wetouch and (ii) all of the outstanding shares of HK Wetouch, which owns all the shares of Sichaun Vtouch Technology Co., Ltd., a company incorporated under the laws of PRC.
On March 16, 2021, an indirectly wholly-owned operating subsidiary of the Company, Sichuan Wetouch entered into an Agreement of Compensation on Demolition (“Compensation Agreement”) with Sichuan Renshou Shigao Tianfu Investment Co., Ltd, a limited company owned by the local government (Sichuan Renshou”), for the withdrawal of our right to use of state-owned land and the demolition of all buildings, facilities and equipment on such land where we maintain our executive offices, research and development facilities and factories at No.29, Third Main Avenue, Shigao Town, Renshou County, Meishan City, Sichuan, China (the “Property”). The Property, all buildings, facilities, equipment and all other appurtenances on the Property are collectively referred to as “Properties”. The Compensation Agreement was executed and delivered as a result of guidelines (the “Guidelines”) published by the local government of with respect to local environmental issues and a national overall plan on Tianfu New District, Meishan City, Sichuan, PRC. In accordance with the Guidelines, a project named “Chaisang River Ecological Wetland Park” is under construction in the areas where the manufacturing facilities and properties of the Company are located. As a result, Sichuan Wetouch must relocate. In consideration for such relocation, the owner of the buildings on the state-owned land will be compensated.
In order to minimize the interruption of our business, Sichuan Vtouch entered into a Leaseback Agreement with Sichuan Renshou on March 16, 2021. The Leaseback Agreement entitles us to lease back the Properties commencing from April 1, 2021 until December 31, 2021, at a monthly rent of RMB300,000 (approximately $46,154).
On March 18, 2021, Sichuan Wetouch received a total amount of RMB115.2 million (approximately $17.7 million) as the total amount of compensation from Sichuan Renshou, including RMB100.2 million ($15.4 million) based upon the appraised value of the Properties plus an extra 15% relocation bonus of RMB15.0 million ($2.3 million).

We are actively searching for an appropriate parcel in Chengdu Medicine City (Technology Park), Wenjiang District, Chengdu for the construction of our new production facilities and office buildings. As of the date of this Form 10-Q, we estimate that our capital needs for this acquisition and construction will be approximately RMB170.0 million (approximately $26.2 million), but there is no assurance that the estimated amount is sufficient to achieve our goals. We may need additional financing for our business development. In addition, we expect that this acquisition and construction will be completed prior to December 31, 2021, but there is no assurance and we may need extended time to achieve our business plan. Pursuant to local PRC government guidelines on local environment issues and the national overall plan, Sichuan Wetouch was under the government directed relocation order to relocate no later than December 31, 2021 and was compensated for RMB115.2 million ($17.8 million) from the local government for the withdrawal of the right to use of state-owned land and the demolition of all buildings, facilities, equipment and all other appurtenances on the land.

In addition, the Company is in the process of dissolving Sichuan Wetouch, and its business and operations are being assumed by Sichuan Vtouch.
Overview
We were originally incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada in August 1992. On October 9, 2020, we entered into a share exchange agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with BVI Wetouch and all the shareholders of BVI Wetouch, to acquire all the issued and outstanding capital stock of BVI Wetouch in exchange for the issuance to such shareholders an aggregate of 28 million shares of our common stock (the “Reverse Merger”). The Reverse Merger closed on October 9, 2020. Immediately after the closing of the Reverse Merger, we had a total of 31,396,394 issued and outstanding shares of common stock. As a result of the Reverse Merger, BVI Wetouch is now our wholly-owned subsidiary.
We are engaged in the research, development, manufacturing, sales and servicing of medium to large sized projected capacitive touchscreens, which constitutes our source of revenues through BVI Wetouch, which owns Hong Kong Wetouch, HK Wetouch, Sichuan Wetouch and Sichuan Vtouch. We are specialized in large-format touchscreens, which are developed and designed for a wide variety of markets and used in by the financial terminals, automotive, point of sale (POS), gaming, lottery, medical, human machine interface (HMI), and other specialized industries. Our product portfolio comprises medium to large sized projected capacitive touchscreens ranging from 7.0 inch to 42 inch screens. In terms of the structures of touch panels, we offer (i) Glass-Glass (“GG”), primarily used in GPS/car entertainment panels in mid-size and luxury cars, industrial HMI, financial and banking terminals, POS and lottery machines; (ii) Glass-Film-Film (“GFF”), mostly used in high-end GPS and entertainment panels, industrial HMI, financial and banking terminals, lottery and gaming industry; (iii) Plastic-Glass (“PG”), typically adopted by touchscreens in GPS/entertainment panels motor vehicle GPS, smart home, robots and charging stations; and (iv) Glass-Film (“GF”), mostly used in industrial HMI. The following discussion and analysis pertain financial condition and results of operations of our subsidiaries Hong Kong Wetouch, HK Wetouch, Sichuan Wetouch and Sichuan Vtouch for the quarter ended June 30, 2021.
Effects of COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic and resulting global disruptions have affected our businesses, as well as those of our customers and suppliers. To serve our customers while also providing for the safety of our employees and service providers, we have modified numerous aspects of our logistics, transportation, supply chain, purchasing, and after-sale processes. Beginning in Q1 2020, we made numerous process updates across our operations worldwide, and adapted our fulfillment network, to implement employee and customer safety measures, such as enhanced cleaning and physical distancing, personal protective gear, disinfectant spraying, and temperature checks. We will continue to prioritize employee and customer safety and comply with evolving state and local standards as well as to implement standards or processes that we determine to be in the best interests of our employees, customers, and communities.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, our subsidiary Sichuan Wetouch was temporarily shut down from early February 2020 to early March 2020 in accordance with the requirement of the local governments. Our business was negatively impacted and generated lower revenue and net income in 2020. The Company has taken proactive measures to promote products to new customers and entering more regions during the six-month period ended June 30, 2021. The extent of the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition will depend on the virus’ future developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak and the impact on the Company’s customers, which are still uncertain and cannot be reasonably estimated at this point of time.

(i) Domestic market
For the three months ended June 30, 2021, revenue from domestic market increased by $6.6 million or 206.3% as a combined result of: (i) an increase of 140.5% in sales volume, (ii) an increase of 21.3% in the average RMB selling price of our products, and (iii) a 9.7% positive impact from exchange rate due to appreciation of RMB against US dollars, compared with those of the same period of last year.
As for the RMB selling price, the increase of 21.3% was mainly due to the increased sales of new models of higher-end products such as touch screens used in gaming machines with higher selling prices in the domestic market during the three-month period ended June 30, 2021.
The weakening in macroeconomic conditions since the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic in January 2020 continued to exacerbate the touch screen business environment. For the three months period ended June 30, 2020, the Company’s business was negatively impacted and has continued to generate lower revenues. Due to our proactive efforts to market new models such as POS touchscreens and penetrate into new customers and into new regions, our sales increased by 239.2% in East China, 168.6% in South China, and 129.8% in Southwest China for the second quarter ended June 30, 2021 as compared to that of last year.
(ii) Overseas market
For the three-month period ended June 30, 2021, revenue from overseas market was $5.4 million as compared to $2.1 million of the same period of 2020, increased by $3.3 million or 157.1% mainly due to an increase of 154.1% in sales volume and an increase of 4.8% in average selling price.

The Company continued to shift production mix from traditional lower-end products such as touchscreens used in automotive and industrial control computer industries to high-end products such as touchscreens used in self-service kiosks, medical touchscreens, ticket vending machine and financial terminals, primarily due to (i) greater growth potential of computer screen models in China and (ii) the stronger demand and better quality demand from consumers’ recognition of higher-end touch screens made with better raw materials.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Historically, our primary uses of cash have been to finance working capital needs. We expect that we will be able to meet our needs to fund operations, capital expenditures and other commitments in the next 12 months primarily with our cash and cash equivalents, operating cash flows and bank borrowings.
We may, however, require additional cash resources due to changes in business conditions or other future developments. If these sources are insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain a credit facility. The sale of additional equity or equity-linked securities could result in additional dilution to stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could result in operating and financial covenants that would restrict operations. Financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, or at all.
As of June 30, 2021, we had current assets of $64.6 million, consisting of $52.6 million in cash, $11.6 million in accounts receivable, $0.3 million in inventories, and 28,265 in prepaid expenses other current assets. Our current liabilities as of June 30, 2021, were $3.1 million, which is comprised of $1.8 million in income tax payable, $0.8 in accounts payable, and $0.5 million in accrued expenses and other current liabilities.

There is no assurance that exchange rates between the RMB and the U.S. Dollar will remain stable. Inflation has not had a material impact on the Company’s business.
Our industry typical payment term is 180 days. Accounts receivable are written off against the allowances only after exhaustive collection efforts. There was a stalled collection activities during February and March 2020, during which most businesses except essential services were operated.
Based on past performance and current expectations, we believe our cash and cash equivalents provided by operating activities and financing activities will satisfy our working capital needs, capital expenditures and other liquidity requirements associated with our operations for at least the next 12 months.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. 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. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.
| 15 |
Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation and subject to the foregoing, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2021 due to the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described below. Because of our limited operations, we have a limited number of employees which prohibits a segregation of duties. In addition, we lack a formal audit committee with a financial expert. As we grow and expand our operations we will engage additional employees and experts as needed. However, there can be no assurance that our operations will expand.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2021 that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
