NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Fortune Valley Treasures, Inc. (formerly Crypto-Services, Inc., the “Company” or “FVTI”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 21, 2014. The Company is engaged in the business of wholesale distribution and retail sales of alcoholic beverages, including wine and distilled liquors, through its subsidiaries in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC” or “China”).

 

On January 5, 2018, the Company changed its accounting fiscal year end from August 31 to December 31. On January 29, 2018, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment with the State of Nevada to increase its authorized shares of common stock from 75,000,000 to 3,000,000,000.

 

On April 6, 2018, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement by and among DaXingHuaShang Investment Group Limited, a Republic of Seychelles limited liability company (“DIGLS”), and each of the shareholders of DIGLS, pursuant to which the Company issued 300,000,000 shares of common stock in exchange for 100% of the issued shares of DIGLS. This transaction was accounted for a reverse takeover transaction and a recapitalization of the Company whereby the Company, the legal acquirer, is the accounting acquiree, and DIGLS, the legal acquiree, is the accounting acquirer. Accordingly, the Company historical statement of stockholders’ equity has been retroactively restated to the first period presented.

 

DIGLS was incorporated in the Republic of Seychelles on July 4, 2016, with an authorized capital of $100,000, divided into 250,000,000 ordinary shares, par value $0.0004 per share. DIGLS wholly owns DaXingHuaShang Investment (Hong Kong) Limited (“DILHK”), a company incorporated in Hong Kong on June 22, 2016 as an investment holding company with limited liability. DILHK was previously wholly owned by Mr. Yumin Lin, the Company’s Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, President, Treasurer and Secretary. On November 11, 2016, Mr. Yumin Lin transferred 100% of his ownership in DILHK to DIGLS for nominal consideration. DILHK wholly owns Qianhai DaXingHuaShang Investment (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. (“QHDX”), a PRC limited liability company formed on November 3, 2016 as a wholly foreign-owned enterprise. QHDX wholly owns Dongguan City France Vin Tout Ltd. (“FVTL”). FVTL was incorporated on May 31, 2011 in the PRC as a limited liability company. FVTL was previously owned and controlled by Mr. Yumin Lin. On November 20, 2016, Mr. Yumin Lin transferred his ownership in FVTL to QHDX for nominal consideration. The share transfers detailed above by and among Mr. Yumin Lin, DIGLS, DILHK, QHDX, and FVTL have been accounted for as a series of business combination of entities under common control. Accordingly, the values in these financial statements reflect the carrying values of those entities, and no goodwill was recorded as a result of these transactions.

 

On March 1, 2019, the Company entered into a sale and purchase agreement (the “SP Agreement”) to acquire 100% of the shares of Jiujiu Group Stock Co., Ltd. (“JJGS”), a company incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Seychelles. The transaction contemplated in the SP Agreement was closed on March 1, 2019. Pursuant to the SP Agreement, the Company issued 100 shares of its common stock to JJGS to acquire 100% of the shares of JJGS for a cost of $150. After the closing, JJGS became the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary. JJGS owns all of the equity interests of Jiujiu (HK) Industry Limited (“JJHK”) and Jiujiu (Shenzhen) Industry Co., Ltd. (“JJSZ”). None of JJGS, JJHK and JJSZ have any operations or active business, nor do they have any substantial assets.

 

Makaweng Acquisition

 

On July 13, 2019, the Company and QHDX entered into an equity interest transfer agreement, which was later amended on September 12, 2019 (“Makaweng Agreement”), with Xingwen Wang, a shareholder and legal representative of Yunnan Makaweng Wine & Spirits Co., Ltd. (“Makaweng” or “MKW”), a PRC limited liability company engaged in the business of distribution of wine and beer. Pursuant to the Makaweng Agreement, QHDX purchased 51% of Makaweng’s equity interests from Xingwen Wang in exchange for shares of our common stock (“Makaweng Issuable Shares”), the number of which is determined according to the following formula:

 

Number of Makaweng Issuable Shares = A x 51% x 20 x B ÷ C

 

 

For the purpose of the foregoing formula:

 

A = Audited net annual profit of Makaweng in fiscal year 2020.

 

B = The daily average middle exchange rate of U.S. Dollars to Chinese Yuan published by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange of the People’s Republic of China on December 31, 2020.

 

C = The closing price of FVTI’s common stock on December 31, 2020.

 

Mr. Wang has agreed not to transfer the Makaweng Issuable Shares for at least three years after delivery of the Makaweng Issuable Shares (the “Delivery”). He may only transfer up to 30% of his FVTI common stock during the fourth year after the Delivery and cumulatively no more than 60% of his FVTI common stock during the fifth year after the Delivery.

 

The 51% of equity interest of Makaweng was transferred to QHDX and the registration of such transfer with local government authorities was completed on August 28, 2019.

 

Makaweng acquired 95% of equity interest of Lijiang Rendetang Biotechnology Co., Ltd., a PRC limited corporation with no operations (“LJRB”), from an existing shareholder of LJRB in January 2020 for a nominal amount as consideration.

 

BTF Acquisition

 

On December 30, 2019, the Company, along with QHDX, entered into an equity interest transfer agreement (the “BTF Agreement”) with shareholders (the “BTF Original Shareholders”) of Foshan BaiTaFeng Beverage Development Co., Ltd. (“BTF”), who collectively owned 100% equity interest of BTF, a limited liability company engaged in the business of bottling and distributing of drinking water in China.

 

Pursuant to the BTF Agreement, QHDX agreed to purchase 80% of BTF’s equity interest (the “BTF Equity Transfer”) from Mr. Chunbin Li, the legal representative and one of the BTF Original Shareholders of BTF (the “BTF Seller”), in exchange for shares of our common stock (“BTF Issuable Shares”). The completion of the registration of the BTF Equity Transfer with local government authorities (the “BTF Closing”) is subject to satisfaction of all the closing conditions (unless waived), including but not limited to, the approval of the BTF Equity Transfer by BTF shareholders, completion of due diligence review of BTF to the satisfaction of QHDX, waiver from the BTF Original Shareholders to the right of first refusal to purchase the equity interest subject to the BTF Equity Transfer. It is agreed that the BTF Closing shall be conducted prior to the completion of an initial draft of the audited financial statements of BTF.

 

According to the BTF Agreement, the total number of BTF Issuable Shares will be determined according to the following formula:

 

Number of BTF Issuable Shares = X x 80% x 15 ÷ 3.02 ÷ Y

 

For the purpose of the foregoing formula:

 

X = Net profit of BTF during the period from October 1, 2019 to September 30, 2020.

 

Y = 7:1, which is the exchange rate of U.S. Dollars to Chinese Yuan mutually agreed by the parties.

 

Pursuant to the BTF Agreement, we will issue the BTF Issuable Shares to the BTF Seller within 30 business days after September 30, 2020 pursuant to a separate subscription agreement to be entered into by the Company and the BTF Seller or his designee.

 

 

BTF and the BTF Original Shareholders have agreed to achieve certain operation objectives of BTF, including a net profit of RMB 9 million (approximately $1.29 million) for the period from October 1, 2019 to September 30, 2020 and a net profit of RMB 3 million (approximately $0.14 million) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019. Pursuant to the BTF Agreement, as long as the BTF Seller continues to serve as the general manager and legal representative of BTF, the BTF Original Shareholders and BTF shall ensure BTF achieves an increase in annual net profit of no less than 10% during each year of the five years after September 30, 2020.

 

Pursuant to the BTF Agreement, BTF will establish a board of directors consisting of three individuals, two of which will be designated by QHDX and one by the BTF Original Shareholders, and appoint a person designated by the BTF Original Shareholders as general manager. To ensure the continuous operations of BTF, the parties agreed that BTF will retain its existing employees and all the management members of BTF shall sign employment agreements and non-compete agreements with BTF. The parties further agreed that BTF will not make any profit distribution within three years after the execution of the BTF Agreement. Any subsequent share transfer or share pledge of QHDX’s equity interest in BTF is subject to the prior written consent of the BTF Original Shareholders. In the event of a late payment of the consideration by QHDX or any delay in the registration of the BTF Equity Transfer with local government caused by the BTF Seller, a daily penalty of 0.05% of the outstanding payment is assessed.

 

As of the date this report, the Company has not closed the transaction with the BTF shareholders.

 

Valley Holdings Acquisition

 

On March 16, 2020, the Company, along with JJGS, entered into an equity interest transfer agreement (the “Valley Holdings Agreement”) with Valley Holdings Limited (“Valley Holdings”), a Hong Kong company, and Angel International Investment Holdings Limited (the “Valley Holdings Seller”), a 70% shareholder of Valley Holdings. Valley Holdings owns approximately 88.44% of the equity interest of Valley Foods Holdings (Guangzhou) Co., Ltd. (“Valley Food”), which is a limited liability company incorporated in China and engaged in the business of food wholesale and production and sale of food additives in China.

 

Pursuant to the Valley Holdings Agreement, JJGS agreed to purchase 70% of Valley Holdings’ equity interest (the “Valley Holdings Equity Transfer”) from the Valley Holdings Seller in consideration of shares of FVTI’s common stock (“Valley Holdings Issuable Shares”) valued at $14 million (subject to adjustments in the event of Valley Holdings failing to meet a net profit of HK$5 million (approximately US$0.6 million) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019). According to the Valley Holdings Agreement, the total number of Valley Holdings Issuable Shares will be determined based on the closing price of FVTI’s common stock as of the business day immediately preceding the date of the Valley Holdings Closing (as defined below).

 

The closing of the Valley Holdings Equity Transfer (the “Valley Holdings Closing”) is intended to occur on or before April 30, 2020 or such later date agreed upon in writing. The Valley Holdings Closing is subject to certain conditions, including, but not limited to, (a) completion of due diligence review of Valley Holdings and its subsidiaries to the satisfaction of JJGS, (b) completion of the initial draft of the audited consolidated financial statements of Valley Holdings for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, (c) execution of non-competition agreements and confidentiality agreements with the senior management members of Valley Holdings and its subsidiaries, and (d) assignment to Valley Holdings all of the intellectual properties related to the operations of Valley Holdings and its subsidiaries.

 

Pursuant to the Valley Holdings Agreement, FVTI will issue the Valley Holdings Issuable Shares to the Valley Holdings Seller within 30 business days after the later of the Valley Holdings Closing and the issuance of audit report of Valley Holdings for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, pursuant to a separate subscription agreement to be entered into by FVTI and the Valley Holdings Seller or its designee.

 

To ensure the continuous operations of Valley Holdings and its subsidiaries, the parties agreed that Valley Holdings and its subsidiaries will retain their existing employees and will enter into non-competition and employment agreements with all the management members of Valley Holdings and its subsidiaries. The parties further agreed that Valley Holdings will not make any profit distribution within three years after the execution of the Valley Holdings Agreement. JJGS or the Valley Holdings Seller may terminate Valley Holdings Agreement in writing in the event that any closing condition is not met before April 30, 2020.

 

As of the date of this report, the Company has not completed the transaction to acquire Valley Holdings.

 

 

Xixingdao Acquisition

 

On June 22, 2020, FVTI and QHDX entered into an equity interest transfer agreement (the “Xixingdao Agreement”) with Dongguan Xixingdao Technology Co., Ltd. (“Xixingdao”), a company incorporated in China, and the two shareholders of Xixingdao, who collectively own 100% equity interest of Xixingdao (the “Xixingdao Sellers”). Xixingdao is engaged in the business of drinking water distribution and delivery in Dongguan City, Guangdong Province, China.

 

Pursuant to the Xixingdao Agreement, QHDX agreed to purchase 90% of Xixingdao’s equity interest (the “Xixingdao Equity Transfer”) from the Xixingdao Sellers in consideration of shares of FVTI’s common stock (“Xixingdao Issuable Shares”). The completion of the registration of the Xixingdao Equity Transfer with local government authorities (the “Xixingdao Closing”) is subject to satisfaction of all the closing conditions (unless waived), including, but not limited to, (a) completion of due diligence review of Xixingdao to the satisfaction of QHDX, (b) completion of the initial draft of the audited consolidated financial statements of Xixingdao for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, and (c) execution of non-competition agreements and confidentiality agreements with the senior management members of Xixingdao.

 

According to the Xixingdao Agreement, the total number of Xixingdao Issuable Shares will be determined according to the following formula:

 

Number of Issuable Shares = A x 15 ÷ B ÷ C

 

For the purpose of the foregoing formula:

 

A = Audited net profit of Xixingdao during the period from June 1, 2020 to May 31, 2021.

 

B = The average of the closing prices of FVTI’s common stock for the 30 business days before the date the Xixingdao Issuable Shares are issued.

 

C = The central parity rate of Chinese Yuan against U.S. Dollars on the date the Xixingdao Issuable Shares are issued as reported by China Foreign Exchange Trading Center.

 

Xixingdao and Xixingdao Sellers have agreed to achieve certain operation objectives of Xixingdao, including a net profit of RMB 4 million (approximately $565,155) for the period from January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020. Pursuant to the Xixingdao Agreement, as long as Yuwen Li, one of the Xixingdao Sellers, continues to serve as the general manager and legal representative of Xixingdao, Xixingdao and Xixingdao Sellers shall ensure Xixingdao achieves an increase in annual net profit of no less than 10% during its fiscal years between 2022 to 2025.

 

To ensure the continuous operations of Xixingdao, the parties agreed that Xixingdao will retain their existing employees and will enter into non-competition and employment agreements with the management team of Xixingdao.

 

Pursuant to the Xixingdao Agreement, Xixingdao will establish a board of directors consisting of three individuals, two of which will be designated by QHDX and one by the Xixingdao Sellers, and appoint a person designated by the Xixingdao Sellers as general manager.

 

The parties further agreed that Xixingdao will not make any profit distribution within four years after the execution of the Xixingdao Agreement. In the event of a late payment of the consideration by QHDX or any delay in the registration of the Xixingdao Equity Transfer with local government caused by the Xixingdao Sellers, a daily penalty of 0.01% of the outstanding payment is assessed.

 

On August 31, 2020, Xixingdao registered the Equity Transfer with local government authorities in China and QHDX became a shareholder of Xixingdao. The closing of the Equity Transfer remains subject to additional closing conditions, including the issuance of shares by FVTI to the Sellers.

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements is in conformity with GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. The estimates and judgments will also affect the reported amounts for certain revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may materially differ from these estimates.

 

Foreign currency translation and re-measurement

 

The Company translates its results of operations into the U.S. dollar in accordance with ASC 830, “Foreign Currency Matters.”

 

The reporting currency for the Company and its subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar. The Company, DIGLS, JJGS, JJHK and DILHK’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar. QHDX, JJSZ, FVTL, MKW, LJRB and Xixingdao use the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”) as their functional currency.

 

The Company’s subsidiaries, whose records are not maintained in that company’s functional currency, re-measure their records into their functional currency as follows:

 

	●	Monetary assets and liabilities at exchange rates in effect at the end of each period,
	●	Nonmonetary assets and liabilities at historical rates, and
	●	Revenue and expense items at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the period.

 

Gains and losses from these re-measurements were not significant and have been included in the Company’s results of operations.

 

The Company’s subsidiaries, whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, translate their records into the U.S. dollar as follows:

 

	●	Assets and liabilities at the rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date,
	●	Equities at the historical rate, and
	●	Revenue and expense items at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the period.

 

 

Adjustments arising from such translations are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in shareholders’ equity.

 

		September 30, 2020				December 31, 2019
Spot RMB: USD exchange rate		$	0.14703			$	0.14334
Average RMB: USD exchange rate		$	0.14298			$	0.14505

 

The RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currency and all foreign exchange transactions must take place through authorized institutions. No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into U.S. Dollars at the rates used in translation.

 

Cash and cash equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits in banks, and any investments with maturities with less three months from inception to maturity. The Company’s primary bank deposits are located in the Hong Kong and the PRC. Under the Deposit Insurance System in China, a company’s deposits at one bank is insured for a maximum of RMB500,000 (approximately $70,000). However, management has determined that the risk of loss from insolvency by those financial institutions at which it has deposited its funds is insignificant.

 

Accounts receivable

 

Accounts receivable are carried at the amounts invoiced to customers less allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance is an estimate based on a review of individual customer accounts on a regular basis. Accounts receivable are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of accounts receivable previously written off are recorded when received.

 

The Company reviews the collectability of accounts receivable based on an assessment of historical experience, current economic conditions, and other collection indicators.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2019 and the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company did not experience any delinquent or uncollectible balances; accordingly, the Company did not record any valuation allowance for bad debt during these periods.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories consisting of finished goods are stated at the lower of cost or market value. The Company used the weighted average cost method of accounting for inventory. Inventories on hand are evaluated on an on-going basis to determine if any items are obsolete, spoiled, or in excess of future demand. The Company provides impairment that is charged directly to cost of sales when it has been determined that the product is obsolete, spoiled, and that the Company will not be able to sell it at a normal profit above its carrying cost. The Company’s primary products are imported alcoholic beverages. The selling price of alcoholic beverages tends to increase over time. However, there are circumstances where alcoholic beverages may be subject to spoilage if stored for prolong periods of time. The Company did not experience an impairment on inventory during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

 

Advances and prepayments to suppliers

 

In certain instances, in order to secure the supply of limited and sought-after wines and liquors, the Company will make advance payments to suppliers for the procurement of inventory. Upon physical receipt and inspection of such products from those suppliers, the applicable balances are reclassified from advances and prepayments to suppliers to inventory.

 

Property, plant and equipment

 

Equipment is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives of the equipment are as follows:

 

Office equipment

7-20 years

 

 

The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to expenses as incurred, whereas significant renewals and betterments are capitalized.

 

Right-of-use asset and lease liabilities

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 “Leases (Topic 842).” The new standard requires lessees to recognize lease assets (right of use) and lease obligations (lease liability) for leases previously classified as operating leases under U.S. GAAP on the balance sheet for leases with terms in excess of 12 months. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years.

 

Accounting for 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 be the result of becoming obsolete from a change in the industry or new technologies. Impairment is present if the carrying amount of an asset is less than its undiscounted cash flows to be generated.

 

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 at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

 

Customer advances and deposits

 

On certain occasions, the Company may receive prepayments from downstream retailers or retail customers for wines and liquors prior to their taking possession of the Company’s products. The Company records these receipts as customer advances and deposits until it has met all the criteria for recognition of revenue including the passing possession of the products to its customer, at such point Company will reduce the customer deposits balance and credit the Company’s revenues.

 

Revenue recognition

 

The Company adopted ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and all subsequent ASUs that modified ASC 606 on April 1, 2017 using the full retrospective method which requires the Company to present the financial statements for all periods as if Topic 606 had been applied to all prior periods. Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized using the following five steps:

 

	1.	Identify the contract(s) with a customer;
	2.	Identify the performance obligations in the contract;
	3.	Determine the transaction price;
	4.	Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and
	5.	Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

 

In applying ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue when the Company has negotiated the terms of the transaction, set forth the sales price, transferred of possession of product to customer, determined that the customer does not have the right to return the product, determined that the customer is able to further sell or transfer the product onto others for economic benefit without any other obligation to be fulfilled by the Company, and the Company is reasonably assured that funds have been or will be collected from the customer. The Company’s gross revenue consists of the value of goods invoiced, net of any value-added tax.

 

Advertising

 

All advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 were $0 and $0, respectively.

 

 

Shipping and handling

 

Outbound shipping and handling are expensed as incurred.

 

Retirement benefits

 

Retirement benefits in the form of mandatory government sponsored defined contribution plans are charged as expenses as incurred or allocated to inventory as a part of overhead.

 

Income taxes

 

The Company accounts for income tax using an asset and liability approach and allows for recognition of 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 is able to realize their benefits, or that future realization is uncertain.

 

Statutory reserves

 

Statutory reserves are referring to the amount appropriated from the net income in accordance with 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 10% of its profit. Such an appropriation is necessary until the reserve reaches a maximum that is equal to 50% of the enterprise’s PRC registered capital.

 

Earnings per share

 

The Company computes earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance with 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 is similar to basic EPS but presents the dilutive effect on a per share basis of potential common shares (e.g., convertible securities, options, and warrants) as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later. Potential common shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e. those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS.

 

Financial instruments

 

The Company’s accounts for financial instruments in accordance to ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” which requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company and ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments,” which 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 each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of their fair values because of the short period of time 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 are 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 inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument; and
●	Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

 

 

Commitments and contingencies

 

Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment can be reasonably estimated.

 

Comprehensive income

 

Comprehensive income is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Among other disclosures, all items that are required to be recognized under current accounting standards as components of comprehensive income are required to be reported in a financial statement that is presented with the same prominence as other financial statements. The Company’s current component of other comprehensive income includes the foreign currency translation adjustment and unrealized gain or loss.

 

Goodwill

 

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable assets acquired in a business combination. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC Topic 350, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” goodwill is no longer subject to amortization. Rather, goodwill is subject to at least an annual assessment for impairment, applying a fair-value based test. Fair value is generally determined using a discounted cash flow analysis.

 

Recent accounting pronouncements

 

In February 2018, the FASB issued guidance, which eliminates the stranded tax effects in other comprehensive income resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“TCJA”). Because the amendments only relate to the reclassification of the income tax effects of the TCJA, the underlying guidance that requires that the effect of a change in tax laws or rates be included in income from continuing operations is not affected. The Company adopted the guidance in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020. There was no material impact to its financial statements.

 

In August 2017, the FASB issued guidance, which amends the existing accounting standards for derivatives and hedging. The amendment improves the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better represent the economic results of an entity’s risk management activities in its financial statements and made certain targeted improvements to simplify the application of the hedge accounting guidance in current GAAP. The Company is required to adopt the guidance in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020. Earlier adoption is permitted. The Company adopted the new guidance. There was no material impact to its financial statements.

 

On March 17, 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-08 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net),” which amends the principal-versus-agent implementation guidance and illustrations in the Board’s new revenue standard (ASU 2014-09). The FASB issued the ASU in response to concerns identified by stakeholders, including those related to (1) determining the appropriate unit of account under the revenue standard’s principal-versus-agent guidance and (2) applying the indicators of whether an entity is a principal or an agent in accordance with the revenue standard’s control principle. Among other things, the ASU clarifies that an entity should evaluate whether it is the principal or the agent for each specified good or service promised in a contract with a customer. As defined in the ASU, a specified good or service is “a distinct good or service (or a distinct bundle of goods or services) to be provided to the customer.” Therefore, for contracts involving more than one specified good or service, the entity may be the principal for one or more specified goods or services and the agent for others. The ASU has the same effective date as the new revenue standard (as amended by the one-year deferral and the early adoption provisions in ASU 2015-14). In addition, entities are required to adopt the ASU by using the same transition method they used to adopt the new revenue standard. The Company has determined that it acts as a principal in its primary business operations.

 

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The amendments in this standard will remove, modify and add certain disclosures under ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, with the objective of improving disclosure effectiveness. ASU 2018-13 will be effective for the Company’s year beginning January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The transition requirements are dependent upon each amendment within this update and will be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company does not expect ASU 2018-13 to have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740) Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The amendments in this Update related to separate financial statements of legal entities that are not subject to tax should be applied on a retrospective basis for all periods presented. The amendments related to changes in ownership of foreign equity method investments or foreign subsidiaries should be applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The amendments related to franchise taxes that are partially based on income should be applied on either a retrospective basis for all periods presented or a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied on a prospective basis. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2019-12 to have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Unless otherwise stated, the Company is currently assessing the above accounting pronouncements and their potential impact from their adoption on the Company’s financial statements.

 

NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The going concern basis assumes that assets are realized, and liabilities are settled in the ordinary course of business at amounts disclosed in the financial statements. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern depends upon its ability to market and sell its products to generate positive operating cash flows. As of September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company reported net losses of $201,977 and $321,839, respectively. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had working capital deficit of approximately $916,259. In addition, the Company had net cash outflows of $238,402 from operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. These conditions still raise a substantial doubt as to whether the Company may continue as a going concern.

 

The Company relies on related parties to provide financing and management services at cost that may not be the prevailing market rate for such services.

 

If the Company is not able to generate positive operating cash flows, raise additional capital, and retain the services of certain related parties, it may become insolvent.

NOTE 11 - RISKS

 

Credit risk

 

The Company is subject to risk borne from credit extended to customers.

 

FVTL, MKW, LJRB and QHDX bank deposits are with banks located in the PRC. JJHK’s bank account is located in Hong Kong. DIGLS and JJGS do not have any bank accounts. The bank accounts that the Company uses are located outside of the U.S. and the Company’s bank accounts in China are protected by a deposit insurance system.

 

 

Economic and political risks and national emergencies risk

 

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. As imported alcoholic beverages are considered a luxury item in the PRC, they may be subject to political risks. From time to time, the PRC government limits the amount of import of foreign alcoholic beverages based on diplomatic relationships with foreign countries. The Company’s results of operations may be materially and adversely affected if it is unable to procure such products because of change of government policies.

 

In addition, the Company’s sales and operations may materially adversely affected by national emergencies, such as COVID-19 pandemic.

 

Inflation risk

 

Management monitors changes in prices. Historically inflation has not materially impacted the Company’s financial statements. However, significant increases in the price of wine and liquors that cannot be passed on to the Company’s customers could adversely impact the Company’s results of operations.

 

Concentrations risk

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company had a concentration of risk in its supply of goods, as one vendor supplied all of the Company’s purchases of finished goods.

 

NOTE 12 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Item 2. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Company Overview

 

Fortune Valley Treasures, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 21, 2014. We were initially incorporated to offer users with up-to-date information on digital currencies. We are engaged in the retail and wholesale distribution of a wide spectrum of food and beverage products in Guangdong, China. In addition, we are actively seeking quality target companies in the food, beverage and alcohol industries for mergers and acquisition for further development of our company.

 

Coronavirus (COVID-19) Update

 

Recently, there is an ongoing outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) first identified in China and has since spread rapidly globally. The pandemic has resulted in quarantines, travel restrictions, and the temporary closure of stores and business facilities globally for the past few months. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 as a pandemic. Given the rapidly expanding nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, and because substantially all of our business operations and our workforce are concentrated in China, our business, results of operations and financial condition have been and will continue to be adversely affected. Potential impact to our results of operations will also depend on future developments and new information that may emerge regarding the duration and severity of the COVID-19 and the actions taken by government authorities and other entities to contain the COVID-19 or mitigate its impact, almost all of which are beyond our control.

 

The impacts of COVID-19 on our business, financial condition, and results of operations include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

	●	We temporarily closed our offices for approximately one month from late January 2020, as required by relevant PRC regulatory authorities. In the first quarter of 2020, the COVID-19 outbreak caused disruptions in our operations and supply chains, which have resulted in delays in the shipment of products to certain of our customers.
	●	Our customers have been negatively impacted by the outbreak, which reduced the demand of our products. The demand may decrease further if the COVID-19 pandemic continues.

 

Our operations and supply chains have gradually recovered from the impact of COVID-19 during the three months ended September 30, 2020 due to the effective control of the COVID-19 by the PRC government.

 

However, we cannot foresee whether any reoccurrence of COVID-19 will be forthcoming in the future. If any reoccurrence of COVID-19 is not effectively and timely controlled, our business operations and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected as a result of the deteriorating market outlook, the slowdown in regional and national economic growth, weakened liquidity and financial condition of our customers or other factors that we cannot foresee. Any of these factors and other factors beyond our control could have an adverse effect on the overall business environment, cause uncertainties in the regions where we conduct business, cause our business to suffer in ways that we cannot predict and materially and adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The increase in gross profit margin was primarily due to the decrease in cost per unit resulting from procurement of larger quantities of supplies.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act, that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit 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 Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2020. Based on the evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures, our management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2020 due to the following:

 

●	the Board does not currently have a director who qualifies as an audit committee financial expert as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K; and
●	the Company lacks accounting and finance personnel with technical knowledge in SEC rules and regulations.

 

Our management intends to hire additional accounting staff with an appropriate understanding of U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting requirements in 2021. The Company has interviewed and is in the process of engaging a pre-audit firm to help with the closing of its books and the preparation of SEC filings.
