Corporate
History and Structure
Initially
incorporated in August 1992 in Nevada, Gulf West Investment Properties, Inc. was dormant and had no operations for the several
years. On February 26, 2019, the Eighth Judicial District Court in and for Clark County, Nevada, Case No. A-19-787151-B, appointed
Custodian Ventures LLC, an affiliate of David Lazar, as custodian of the Company (the “Custodian”). Mr. Lazar was
appointed as the sole officer and director of the Company. On March 11, 2019, 1,714,286 shares of common stock of the Company
were issued to the Custodian in consideration for the payment of cash and the issuance of a promissory note by the Custodian to
the Company. Effective as of June 11, 2019, the court discharged the Custodian’s duties.
On
June 18, 2020, we consummated the transactions contemplated by a Stock Purchase Agreement among the Company, the Custodian, Qixun
Samoa and Qihong Samoa (Qixun Samoa and Qixun Samoa are referred to as the “Buyers”). Pursuant to the Stock Purchase
Agreement, the Buyers acquired all of the 1,714,286 shares of the Company owned by the Custodian, representing 50.47% of the issued
and outstanding shares of the Company. The Custodian and the Company agreed to indemnify the Buyers from any liabilities of the
Company occurring prior to June 18, 2020, and the promissory note issued by the Custodian to the Company was canceled. Immediately
following the closing, David Lazar resigned as the sole officer and director of the Company and Jiaying Cai was appointed as president,
secretary and treasurer of the Company and as the sole director.
Entry
into a Material Definitive Agreement – Acquisition of BVI Wetouch
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 (each, a “BVI Shareholder” and collectively the “BVI Shareholders”),
to acquire all the issued and outstanding capital stock of BVI Wetouch in exchange for the issuance to the BVI Shareholders an
aggregate of 28,000,000 shares of our common stock (the “Reverse Merger”). In the Reverse Merger, each ordinary share
of BVI Wetouch was exchanged for 560 shares of common stock of Wetouch. Immediately after the closing of the Reverse Merger on
October 9, 2020, 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.
On
October 12, 2020, Guangde Cai was appointed as an additional director and Chairman of the Company. On October 12, 2020, Mr. Zongyi
Lian was appointed as president and chief executive officer of the Company, and Mr. Yuhua Huang was appointed as chief financial
officer of the Company.
Corporate
History of Wetouch
BVI
Wetouch, a BVI company was established on August 14, 2020 to acquire all the shares of Hong Kong Wetouch. On September 11, 2020,
BVI Wetouch acquired all the outstanding shares of Hong Kong Wetouch from the shareholders of Hong Kong Wetouch 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,
Hong Kong Wetouch became a wholly-owned subsidiary of BVI Wetouch. The shareholders of HK Wetouch became the shareholders of BVI
Wetouch in said transaction, and therefore the shareholders who controlled HK Wetouch became the controlling shareholders of BVI
Wetouch. See “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management”.
Hong
Kong Wetouch was incorporated on May 5, 2016 under the laws of Hong Kong. On July 19, 2016, Hong Kong Wetouch acquired all the
shares of Sichuan Wetouch, a PRC company established May 6, 2011. As a result of the acquisition, Sichuan Wetouch became a wholly
owned subsidiary of Hong Kong Wetouch.
As
BVI Wetouch owns all the outstanding shares of Hong Kong Wetouch, which, in turn, owns all the outstanding shares of Sichuan Wetouch,
the Company owns indirectly all the business of Sichuan Wetouch. As a result of the Reverse Merger in which the Company acquired
all the outstanding shares of BVI Wetouch, Hong Kong Wetouch and Sichuan Wetouch become our indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries.
The
Reverse Merger was accounted for as a recapitalization effected by a share exchange, wherein BVI Wetouch is considered the acquirer
for accounting and financial reporting purposes. The assets and liabilities of BVI Wetouch have been brought forward at their
book value and no goodwill has been recognized.
BVI
Wetouch and its shareholders are not U.S. Persons (as that term is defined in Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the “Act”)) and they acquired our shares in the Reverse Merger outside of the United States. In issuing the 28,000,000
shares of our common stock to the shareholders of BVI Wetouch, we claim an exemption from the registration requirements of the
Act pursuant to Regulation S promulgated thereunder since, among other things, the offer or sale was made in an offshore transaction
and no directed selling efforts were made in the United States by the issuer, a distributor, any of their respective affiliates,
or any person acting on behalf of any of the foregoing. In addition, each recipient of the shares certified that she/he/it is
not a U.S. person and is not acquiring the securities for the account or benefit of any U.S. person and agreed to resell such
securities only in accordance with the provisions of Regulation S, pursuant to registration under the Act, or pursuant to an available
exemption from registration; and agreed not to engage in hedging transactions with regard to such securities unless in compliance
with the Act.
Name
Change/Reverse Stock Split
Effective
September 30, 2020, we changed our name from Gulf West Investment Properties, Inc. to Wetouch Technology Inc. by filing an Amended
and Restated Articles of Incorporation with the Nevada Secretary of State to give effect to a name change. The Amended and Restated
Articles also effectuated a reverse split of our authorized, issued and outstanding shares of common stock on a 70 for 1 new basis
whereby each 70 shares of outstanding common stock was exchanged for one (1) share of new common stock (the “Reverse Split”
and, for avoidance of doubt, all share amounts set forth herein shall be post Reverse Split unless otherwise specified) and, consequently,
our authorized common stock increased to 300,000,000 shares of common stock and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, and our
then issued and outstanding common shares decreased from 237,742,066 to 3,396,394 shares, all with a par value of $0.001.
As
a result of the name change of the company, we changed our trading symbol from “GLFW” to “WETH”.
Unless
specifically stated in this Form 10, all share and per share numbers relating to our common stock prior to the effectiveness of
the Reverse Split have been adjusted to give effect to the Reverse Split.

Business
Overview
Through
our indirect wholly-owned subsidiary Sichuan Wetouch, we are engaged in the manufacturing, sales and servicing of medium to large
sized projected capacitive touchscreens. We specialize in large-format touchscreens, which are developed and designed for a wide
variety of markets and industries, including financial, automotive, industrial human-machine interface designed for industrial
applications (“HMI”), point of sale (“POS”), gaming, lottery, medical, human-machine interface, 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, point of sale 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.
Maintaining
the industry standards for product quality and sustainability is one of our core values. Touchscreens produced by the Company
not only have long life span and are low maintenance, but also have strong anti-interference, anti-corrosion, multi-touch capability
and high light-transmittance ratio and stability. We sell our products both domestically in China and internationally, covering
major areas in China, including but not limited to the eastern, southern, northern and southwest regions of China, South Korea,
Taiwan. We have shipped products to several European countries such as Spain and Germany and have established a strong and diversified
client base.
As
a high technology company, we have received certifications from domestic and international institutions, such as ISO9001 Quality
Management Systems (QMS) Certification of Registration, ISO 14001 Environmental Management System (EMS) Certification of Registration,
and RoHS SGS Certification (Restriction of Hazardous Substance Testing Certification).
Background
Since
inception in 2011, Sichuan Wetouch has positioned itself in the professional touchscreen industry. Touchscreen is an input and
output device and layered on top of an electronic visual display of an information processing system, allowing individuals to
access information and interact with the device simply by touching the device’s screen with a finger or a specialized tool.
Accordingly, the ease of use offered by touchscreen-based systems makes the systems well suited both for applications for the
general public and for specialized applications for institutional users and trained computer users.
Although
touchscreen has become mainstream only over the last decade, the concept of a touch-sensitive computer display was developed as
early as 1965. Since the introduction of Apple’s iPhone in 2007, touchscreen technology has made rapid inroads into various
electronics markets, with a number of other significant companies also incorporating this technology into their products (as opposed
to using a mouse, keyboard, keypad or trackball). Viewed today as the most important tool to facilitate interaction between the
individual and machine, touchscreen technology is now an integral part of a wide range of computing products.
Sichuan
Wetouch obtained approximately $2.0 million from the provincial government in China and commenced production of capacitive touchscreens
in September 2013. A capacitive touchscreen is a control display that uses the conductive touch of a human finger or a specialized
device for input and output.
We
generate revenue through sales of our various touchscreen products. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2019, we recognized
approximately $40 million in revenues and approximately $8.8 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020. As our products
are medium and large size projected capacitive touchscreens, we believe that we will benefit from our strong position in the overall
touchscreen market.
Products
We
offer medium to large sized projected capacitive touchscreens, which can be categorized as set forth below:
Product Type |
Description | Application | ||
Product
|
This is a double glass layer product, with a Solid clear adhesive (SCA) between a layer of conductive glass and a layer of tempered glass. This type of touch screen has the advantage of being able to be easily manufactured, with relatively low cost. However, products of this type in large sizes will require a greater degree of signal penetration and long distance transmission technology which will be more technically challenging to achieve. |
Medium and high end GPS/car entertainment, finance, POS and lottery machines. |
||
Product
|
This product uses a double layer of conductive films, with an optically clear adhesive (OCA) between a layer of a tempered glass. The product’s functionality comes from the interaction between the multiple layers of conductive film and glass, which does not require extensive coating, lithography and etching. This type of product is anti- explosive and has relatively low manufacturing cost. However, products of this type in large sizes will require greater degree of signal penetration and long distance transmission technology which will be more technically challenging to achieve. |
Financial, gaming and lottery, and medical industries |

Applications
of the Company’s Products
Our
products are used and applied in the production of a variety of products in a wide range of industries. Our products’ areas
of common application are set out below.
Point
of Sale (“POS”) Machines
POS machines, or point of sale machines, are used in a variety of retailers, including in department stores, supermarkets, convenience stores, boutiques, restaurants, hotels, banks, logistics, telecommunication and other service industries. Due to the frequent use of touchscreens on POS machines, Wetouch has adopted the use of high-end materials which give its products’ a competitive advantage through their anti-scratch, high temperature resistance and long use life qualities. |
Car
Navigators and Entertainment Systems
|
Touchscreen products for car navigation and entertainment systems take advantage of the popularity of touchscreen consoles in motor vehicles. Wetouch touchscreens are particularly suitable for motor vehicles GPS and entertainment systems, due to their resistance to temperature variation. These touchscreens may be used in both inbuilt and external car systems. |
ATM
Machines and Other Financial Machines
|
ATMs and other similar machines use touchscreens or have a touchscreen function. The touchscreens need to have high-endurance capacities as they are used by the general public and are often located outdoors, such that these screens must withstand weathering. Wetouch’s products are particularly suited to use in these machines as they are highly durable. |
Industrial
Equipment
|
Touchscreens in the industrial sector have broad application, and play an important role in industrial HMI. Industrial HMI systems and equipment often require touchscreen functions. These touchscreens must be resistant to interference, stable and have good touch sensitivity. Wetouch’s products fully meet these requirements, being temperature variation resistant, dustproof and waterproof. |
Gaming
Machines
|
The new generation of gambling machines are commonly adopting a touchscreen function. Gaming machines with a touchscreen function provide an enhanced experience for uses via multi-touch sensory touch systems. Wetouch’s products are therefore popular amongst gambling machine manufacturers. |
Lottery
Machines
|
The self-service lottery ticket vending machine is provided with an operator-oriented touch display device, an input device, a modem, a cash register, printer and security authentication function. The touchscreen display facilitates easy and user-friendly operation of the lottery machine. |
Ticket
Machines and Kiosks
|
Self-service ticket machines and kiosks contain touchscreen interfaces which are durable and have a long use life. These self-service machines are used in daily lives, and as such there is a continuous demand for high quality and effective touchscreens. Wetouch’s products are widely used in these ticketing machines and kiosks. |

Seasonality
of Business
There
is no significant seasonality in our business.
Inventory
Inventory
consists of orders for finished products which have a scheduled shipment date within twelve months of the order, raw materials
and work-in-process products. Because a large percentage of the Company’s orders require products to be shipped in the same
quarter in which the order was received, and because orders in the inventory may be canceled and delivery schedules may be changed,
the Company’s inventory at any particular date is not necessarily indicative of actual sales for any succeeding period.
Research
and Development
The
Company is committed to its own research and development projects as well as partnership initiatives in order to continuously
and systematically upgrade its touchscreen technology. The Company currently employs 10 people in its R&D department.
Intellectual
Property
Our
business is dependent on a combination of trademarks, patents, domain names, trade names, trade secrets and other proprietary
rights in order to protect our intellectual property rights. As of the date of this disclosure, we have one registered trademark

Patents
registered in China cannot be enforced in other jurisdictions to which the Company supplies its products. We currently have registered
patents only in China. We plan to submit patent registration applications in our target market jurisdictions including United
States, Europe, Australia, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, India and Russia. The estimated costs for these patent registrations would be
approximately $160,000. We estimate that it may take two to three years to obtain the patent registrations in above countries.
Environmental
Issues
Our
business in China is subject to various pollution control regulations in China with respect to noise, water and air pollution
and the disposal of waste. Specifically, the major environmental regulations applicable to us include the PRC Environmental Protection
Law, the PRC Law on the Prevention and Control of Water Pollution, the PRC Law on the Prevention and Control of Air Pollution,
the PRC Law on the Prevention and Control of Solid Waste Pollution, and the PRC Law on the Prevention and Control of Noise Pollution.
We
originally received Pollutant Discharge Permit from Renshou County environmental protection agency which expired on May 15, 2019.
Pursuant to a Statement on Change of Pollutant Discharge Permit to Stationary Pollution Source Registration Form dated September
1, 2020, the environmental protection system in Renshou County, Sichuan, was changed from permission to registration due to local
administrative division change. Therefore, upon submission of all required documentation, we are registered under the new system
by issuance of Stationary Pollution Source Registration Form.
The
Company is not aware of any investigations, prosecutions, disputes, claims or other proceedings in respect of environmental protection,
nor has the Company been punished or can foresee any punishment to be made by any environmental administration authorities of
the PRC.

in the market, we plan to implement a series of initiatives to attract additional and retain mid- to high-level personnel, including
formulating a market-oriented employee compensation structure and implementing a standardized multi-level performance review mechanism.
Competition
The
markets for touchscreen products are highly competitive and subject to rapid technological change. The Company believes that the
principal competitive factors in its markets are product characteristics such as touch performance, durability, optical clarity
and price, as well as supplier characteristics such as quality, service, delivery time and reputation. The Company believes that
it competes favorably with respect to these factors, although there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to continue
to compete successfully in the future.
In
spite that touchscreen products are highly competitive as a whole, we face few competition as we produce medium to large size
touchscreens which are specially tailored to certain industries, such as industrial HMI, gaming, financing, lottery, automotive,
lottery, medical, POS, HMI, etc, and requires more stable supply, longer guaranty and life span, compared with small size touchscreens
which is characteristic with shorter life cycle and guaranty but more demand in quantity.
We
believe the following companies may be our competitors:
Apex
Material Technology Corp., founded in 1998, is committed to the development and innovation of resistive and projected capacitive
(PCI or PCAP) total touch solutions. With its headquarter based in Keelung, Taiwan and a subsidiary located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin,
it designs and manufactures advanced high-performance touch products for industrial and medical applications. Compared with us,
although it has longer history and geographical advantage, it mainly focuses on resistive touch panels and recently started production
of capacitive touchscreens which are mostly applicable to industrial HMI and medical industry, while our products are more widely
used in a variety of industries.
Elo
Touch Systems Inc., based and headquartered in the United States, has a history of over 40 years for the production of touchscreens.
Its product portfolio includes a broad selection of interactive touchscreen displays from 10-70 inches, all-in-one touchscreen
computers, OEM touchscreens and touchscreen controllers and touchscreen monitors. Compared with us, although it has a longer history
and geographical advantage when it comes to the competition for U.S. customers and other international customers, it just starts
the production of capacitive touchscreens which are mostly applicable to POS and inquiry machines while our products are more
widely used in a variety of industries.
AbonTouch
System Inc, established in 2005, mainly focuses on manufacturing and sales of mid to large size (7”~86”) of “Projective
Capacitive Sensor”, (7”~21.5”) of “Five-Wire Resistive Zero-Bezel Touch Panel and (5”~21.5”)
of “Five- Wire Resistive Touch Panel”. Compared with us, although it has a longer history and geographical advantage,
it mainly focuses on resistive touch panels and just started production of capacitive touchscreens which are mostly applicable
to POS, inquiry machine and industrial HMI, while our products are more widely used in a variety of industries.
Employees
As
of the date of this disclosure, we have a total of 126 employees. We have no part time employees or independent contractors.
As
required by regulations in China, we participate in various employee social security plans that are organized by local governments,
including pension, unemployment insurance, childbirth insurance, work-related injury insurance, medical insurance and housing
insurance. We are required under Chinese law to make contributions to employee benefit plans at specified percentages of the salaries,
bonuses and certain allowances of our employees, up to a maximum amount specified by the local government from time to time.
Our
employees are not represented by a labor organization or covered by a collective bargaining agreement. We believe that we maintain
a good working relationship with our employees and to date, we have not experienced any significant labor disputes.
Regulations
Overview
We
operate our business in the PRC under a legal regime consisting of the National People’s Congress, which is the country’s
highest legislative body, the State Council, which is the highest authority of the executive branch of the PRC central government,
and several ministries and agencies under its authority, including the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, State
Administration for Industry and Commerce (“SAIC”), the State Administration for Market Regulation and their respective
local offices.
This
section sets forth a summary of the most significant rules and regulations that affect our business activities in the PRC.
Regulations
Relating to Foreign Investment in China
On
March 15, 2019, the National People’s Congress promulgated the Foreign Investment Law, which came into effect on January
1, 2020 and replaced three existing laws on foreign investments in China, namely, the PRC Equity Joint Venture Law, the PRC Cooperative
Joint Venture Law, and the Wholly Foreign-Owned Enterprise Law, together with their implementation rules and ancillary regulations.
The Foreign Investment Law embodies an expected PRC regulatory trend to rationalize its foreign investment regulatory regime in
line with prevailing international practice and the legislative efforts to unify the corporate legal requirements for both foreign-
and domestic-invested enterprises in China. The Foreign Investment Law establishes the basic framework for the access to, and
the promotion, protection, and administration of foreign investments in view of investment protection and fair competition.
Pursuant
to the Foreign Investment Law, “foreign investment” refers to investment activities directly or indirectly conducted
by one or more natural persons, business entities, or otherwise organizations of a foreign country within China, or foreign investors,
and the investment activities include the following situations: (i) a foreign investor, individually or collectively with other
investors, establishes an Foreign Investment Entity (“FIE”) in China; (ii) a foreign investor acquires stock shares,
equity shares, shares in assets, or other similar rights and interests of an enterprise within China; (iii) a foreign investor,
individually or collectively with other investors, invests in a new project in China; and (iv) investments in other means as provided
by laws, administrative regulations, or the State Council.
Investment
activities in the PRC by foreign investors are principally governed by the Guidance Catalogue of Industries for Foreign Investment,
or the Catalogue, which was promulgated and is amended from time to time by the Ministry of Commerce, or the MOFCOM, and the National
Development and Reform Commission, or the NDRC. Industries listed in the Catalogue are divided into three categories: encouraged,
restricted and prohibited. Industries not listed in the Catalogue are generally deemed as constituting a fourth “permitted”
category. According to the Catalogue, touchscreen manufacturing is classified as industry where foreign investments are permitted.
Furthermore,
the Foreign Investment Law provides that FIEs established according to the existing laws regulating foreign investment may maintain
their structure and corporate governance within five years after the implementation of the Foreign Investment Law.
In
addition, the Foreign Investment Law also provides several protective rules and principles for foreign investors and their investments
in China, including, among others, that local governments must abide by their commitments to the foreign investors; FIEs are allowed
to issue stocks and corporate bonds; expropriation or requisition of the investment of foreign investors is prohibited except
for special circumstances, in which case statutory procedures must be followed and fair and reasonable compensation must be made
in a timely manner; mandatory technology transfer is prohibited; and the capital contributions, profits, capital gains, proceeds
out of asset disposal, licensing fees of intellectual property rights, indemnity or compensation legally obtained, or proceeds
received upon settlement by foreign investors in China may be freely remitted inward and outward in Renminbi or foreign currencies.
Also, foreign investors or FIEs should be imposed legal liabilities for failing to report investment information in accordance
with the requirements.
On
December 26, 2019, the PRC State Council approved the Implementation Rules of Foreign Investment Law, which came into effect on
January 1, 2020. The Implementation Rules of Foreign Investment Law restates certain principles of the Foreign Investment Law
and further provides that, among others, (i) if the legal form or the governing structure of an FIE established prior to the effective
date of the Foreign Investment Law does not comply with the compulsory provisions of the PRC Company Law or the PRC Partnership
Enterprises Law, such FIE should complete amendment registration accordingly no later than January 1, 2025; if it fails to do
so, the enterprise registration authority will not process other registration matters of the FIE and may publicize such non-compliance;
and (ii) the provisions regarding transfer of equity interests, distribution of profits and remaining assets as stipulated in
the joint venture contracts of an existing FIE may survive the Foreign Investment Law during its joint venture term.
Regulations
on Environmental Protection
Environmental
Protection Law
The
Environmental Protection Law of the PRC, or the Environmental Protection Law, was promulgated and effective on December
26, 1989, and most recently amended on April 24, 2014. This Environmental Protection Law has been formulated for the purpose of
protecting and improving both the living environment and the ecological environment, preventing and controlling pollution, other
public hazards and safeguarding people’s health.
According
to the provisions of the Environmental Protection Law, in addition to other relevant laws and regulations of the PRC, the
Ministry of Environmental Protection and its local counterparts take charge of administering and supervising said environmental
protection matters. Pursuant to the Environmental Protection Law, the environmental impact statement on any construction
project must assess the pollution that the project is likely to produce and its impact on the environment, and stipulate preventive
and curative measures; the statement shall be submitted to the competent administrative department of environmental protection
for approval. Installations for the prevention and control of pollution in construction projects must be designed, built and commissioned
together with the principal part of the project.
Permission
to commence production at or utilize any construction project shall not be granted until its installations for the prevention
and control of pollution have been examined and confirmed to meet applicable standards by the appropriate administrative department
of environmental protection that examined and approved the environmental impact statement. Installations for the prevention and
control of pollution shall not be dismantled or left idle without authorization. Where it is absolutely necessary to dismantle
any such installation or leave it idle, prior approval shall be obtained from the competent local administrative department of
environmental protection.
The
Environmental Protection Law makes it clear that the legal liabilities of any violation of said law include warning, fine,
rectification within a time limit, compulsory cease operation, compulsory reinstallation of dismantled installations of the prevention
and control of pollution or compulsory reinstallation of those left idle, compulsory shutout or closedown, or even criminal punishment.
Order
on Ecosystem by The Ministry of Ecology and Environment 2019 Classification-based Management on Fixed Pollutant Source
Pursuant
to the Order on Ecosystem by The Ministry of Ecology and Environment, which was issued on July 28, 2017 and most recently amended
on December 20, 2019, The Ministry of Ecology and Environment implements a classification-based management on the environmental
impact assessment, or EIA, of pollutants according to pollutant amount and the impact of the pollutants on the environment as
below
● | For those pollutant discharge units with large amount of pollutants and significant environmental impacts, the key management on a pollutant discharge permit is required; |
● | For those pollutant discharge units with small amount of pollutants and small environmental impacts, the simplified management on a pollutant discharge permit is required; and |
● | For those pollutant discharge units with very small amount of pollutants and very small environmental impacts, the pollutant discharge registration form is required. |
The
touchscreen manufacturing is classified as to fill in a Registration Form. Pursuant to a Statement on Change of Pollutant Discharge
Permit to Stationary Pollution Source Registration Form by the local government dated September 1, 2020, the environmental protection
system in Renshou County, Sichuan, was changed from permission to registration due to local administrative division change. Therefore,
upon submission of all required documentation, we are registered under the new system by filling in Stationary Pollution Source
Registration Form.
Regulations
on Consumer Rights Protection
Our
business is subject to a variety of consumer protection laws, including the PRC Consumer Rights and Interests Protection Law,
which was amended in 2013 and became effective on March 15, 2014. It imposes stringent requirements and obligations on business
operators. Failure to comply with these consumer protection laws could subject us to administrative sanctions, such as the issuance
of a warning, confiscation of illegal income, imposition of fines, an order to cease business operations, revocation of business
licenses, and potential civil or criminal liabilities.
As
of the date of this disclosure, we are not aware of any warning, investigations, prosecutions, disputes, claims or other proceedings
in respect of customer rights protection, nor have we been punished or can foresee any punishment to be made by any government
authorities of the PRC.
Regulations
on Intellectual Property Rights
Regulations
on Trademark
Trademarks
are protected by the PRC Trademark Law adopted in 1982 and subsequently amended as well as the Implementation Regulation of the
PRC Trademark Law adopted by the State Council in 2002 and subsequently amended. The Trademark Office under the SAIC handles trademark
registrations. Trademarks can be registered for a term of ten years and can be extended for another ten years if requested upon
expiry of the first or any renewed ten-year term. The PRC Trademark Law has adopted a “first-to-file” principle with
respect to trademark registration. Where a trademark for which a registration application has been made is identical or similar
to another trademark which has already been registered or been subject to a preliminary examination and approval for use on the
same type of or similar commodities or services, the application for such trademark registration may be rejected. Any person applying
for the registration of a trademark may not prejudice the existing right first obtained by others, nor may any person register
in advance a trademark that has already been used by another party and has already gained a “sufficient degree of reputation”
through such another party’s use. Trademark license agreements must be filed with the Trademark Office or its regional offices.
As of June 30, 2020, we had 1 registered trademark in China.
Regulations
on Patent Law
According
to the PRC Patent Law (2008 Revision), the State Intellectual Property Office is responsible for administering patent law in China.
The patent administration departments of the provincial, autonomous region, or municipal governments are responsible for administering
patent law within their respective jurisdictions. The PRC patent system adopts a first-to-file principle, which means that when
more than one person files different patent applications for the same invention, only the person who files the application first
is entitled to obtain a patent of the invention. To be patentable, an invention or a utility model must meet three criteria: novelty,
inventiveness, and practicability. A patent is valid for twenty years in the case of an invention and ten years in the case of
utility models and designs. As of June 30, 2020, we had 10 registered patents in China.
Regulations
on Foreign Exchange
General
Administration of Foreign Exchange
Under
the PRC Foreign Currency Administration Rules promulgated on January 29, 1996 and most recently amended on August 5, 2008 and
various regulations issued by the SAFE, and other relevant PRC government authorities, Renminbi is convertible into other currencies
for current account items, such as trade-related receipts and payments and payment of interest and dividends. The conversion of
Renminbi into other currencies and remittance of the converted foreign currency outside China for capital account items, such
as direct equity investments, loans, and repatriation of investment, requires the prior approval from the SAFE or its local office.
Payments
for transactions that take place in China must be made in Renminbi. Unless otherwise approved, PRC companies may not repatriate
foreign currency payments received from abroad or retain the same abroad. FIEs may retain foreign exchange in accounts with designated
foreign exchange banks under the current account items subject to a cap set by the SAFE or its local branch. Foreign exchange
proceeds under the current accounts may be either retained or sold to a financial institution engaged in settlement and sale of
foreign exchange pursuant to relevant SAFE rules and regulations. For foreign exchange proceeds under the capital accounts, approval
from the SAFE is generally required for the retention or sale of such proceeds to a financial institution engaged in settlement
and sale of foreign exchange.
Pursuant
to the Circular of the SAFE on Further Improving and Adjusting Foreign Exchange Administration Policies for Direct Investment,
which was promulgated on November 19, 2012, became effective on December 17, 2012, and was further amended on May 4, 2015, October
10, 2018, and December 30, 2019, approval of the SAFE is not required for opening a foreign exchange account and depositing foreign
exchange into the accounts relating to the direct investments. This circular also simplifies foreign exchange-related registration
required for foreign investors to acquire equity interests of PRC companies and further improve the administration on foreign
exchange settlement for FIEs.
The
Circular on Further Simplifying and Improving the Foreign Currency Management Policy on Direct Investment, or SAFE Circular 13,
which became effective on June 1, 2015 and was amended on December 30, 2019, cancels the administrative approvals of foreign exchange
registration of direct domestic investment and direct overseas investment and simplifies the procedure of foreign exchange-related
registration. Pursuant to SAFE Circular 13, investors should register with banks for direct domestic investment and direct overseas
investment.
The
Circular on Reforming the Management Approach Regarding the Settlement of Foreign Capital of Foreign-Invested Enterprise, which
was promulgated on March 30, 2015, became effective on June 1, 2015, and was amended on December 30, 2019, provides that an FIE
may, according to its actual business needs, settle with a bank the portion of the foreign exchange capital in its capital account
for which the relevant foreign exchange administration has confirmed monetary capital contribution rights and interests (or for
which the bank has registered the injection of the monetary capital contribution into the account). Pursuant to this circular,
for the time being, FIEs are allowed to settle 100% of their foreign exchange capital on a discretionary basis; an FIE should
truthfully use its capital for its own operational purposes within the scope of its business; where an ordinary FIE makes domestic
equity investment with the amount of foreign exchanges settled, the FIE must first go through domestic re-investment registration
and open a corresponding account for foreign exchange settlement pending payment with the foreign exchange administration or the
bank at the place where it is registered.
The
Circular on Reforming and Regulating Policies on the Control over Foreign Exchange Settlement of Capital Accounts, which was promulgated
and became effective on June 9, 2016, provides that enterprises registered in China may also convert their foreign debts from
foreign currency into Renminbi on a self-discretionary basis. This circular also provides an integrated standard for conversion
of foreign exchange under capital account items (including, but not limited to, foreign currency capital and foreign debts) on
a self-discretionary basis, which applies to all enterprises registered in China.
On
January 26, 2017, SAFE promulgated the Circular on Further Improving Reform of Foreign Exchange Administration and Optimizing
Genuineness and Compliance Verification, which stipulates several capital control measures with respect to the outbound remittance
of profit from domestic entities to offshore entities, including: (i) banks should check board resolutions regarding profit distribution,
the original version of tax filing records, and audited financial statements pursuant to the principle of genuine transactions;
and (ii) domestic entities should hold income to account for previous years’ losses before remitting the profits. Moreover,
pursuant to this circular, domestic entities should make detailed explanations of the sources of capital and utilization arrangements,
and provide board resolutions, contracts, and other proof when completing the registration procedures in connection with an outbound
investment.
On
October 25, 2019, the SAFE promulgated the Notice for Further Advancing the Facilitation of Cross-border Trade and Investment,
which, among other things, allows all FIEs to use Renminbi converted from foreign currency-denominated capital for equity investments
in China, as long as the equity investment is genuine, does not violate applicable laws, and complies with the negative list on
foreign investment. However, since this circular is newly promulgated, it is unclear how the SAFE and competent banks will carry
it out in practice.
According
to the Administrative Rules on the Company Registration, which were promulgated by the State Council on June 24, 1994, became
effective on July 1, 1994, and were amended on February 6, 2016, and other laws and regulations governing FIEs and company registrations,
the establishment of an FIE and any capital increase and other major changes in an FIE should be registered with the State Administration
for Market Regulation or its local counterparts and filed via the enterprise registration system.
Pursuant
to SAFE Circular 13 and other laws and regulations relating to foreign exchange, when setting up a new FIE, the enterprise should
register with the bank located at its registered place after obtaining the business license, and if there is any change in capital
or other changes relating to the basic information of the FIE, including, without limitation, any increase in its registered capital
or total investment, the FIE must register such changes with the bank located at its registered place after obtaining approval
from or completing the filing with relevant authorities. Pursuant to the relevant foreign exchange laws and regulations, such
foreign exchange registration with the banks will typically take less than four weeks upon the acceptance of the registration
application.
Based
on the foregoing, if we intend to provide funding to our wholly foreign-owned subsidiaries through capital injection at or after
their establishment, we must register the establishment of and any follow-on capital increase in our wholly foreign-owned subsidiaries
with the State Administration for Market Regulation or its local counterparts, file such via the enterprise registration system,
and register such with the local banks for the foreign exchange related matters.
Regulations
on Offshore Financing
Under
the Circular of the SAFE on Issues Concerning the Foreign Exchange Administration over the Overseas Investment and Financing and
Round-Trip Investment by Domestic Residents via Special Purpose Vehicles, or SAFE Circular 37, effective on July 4, 2014, PRC
residents are required to register with the local SAFE branch prior to the establishment or control of an offshore special purpose
vehicle, which is defined as an offshore enterprise directly established or indirectly controlled by PRC residents for investment
and financing purposes, with the enterprise assets or interests PRC residents hold in China or overseas. The term “control”
means to obtain the operation rights, right to proceeds, or decision-making power of a special purpose vehicle through acquisition,
trust, holding shares on behalf of others, voting rights, repurchase, convertible bonds, or other means. At the same time, the
SAFE has issued the Operation Guidance for the Issues Concerning Foreign Exchange Administration over Round-Trip Investment regarding
the procedures for SAFE registration under SAFE Circular 37, which became effective on July 4, 2014 as an attachment of SAFE Circular
37.
The
PRC residents are also required to amend the registration or filing with the local SAFE branch any material change in the offshore
company, such as any change of basic information (including change of such PRC residents, name and operation term), increase or
decreases in investment amount, transfers or exchanges of shares, or merger or divisions. On February 28, 2015, SAFE promulgated
the Notice on Further Simplifying and Improving Foreign Exchange Administration Policy on Direct Investment, or SAFE Notice 13,
which became effective on June 1, 2015. Pursuant to SAFE Notice 13, instead of applying for approvals regarding foreign exchange
registrations of foreign direct investment and overseas direct investment from SAFE as required under current laws, entities and
individuals will be required to apply for such foreign exchange registrations, including those required under the SAFE Circular
37, from qualified banks. The qualified banks, under the supervision of SAFE, will directly examine the applications and conduct
the registration.
Failure
to comply with the registration procedures set forth in the SAFE Circular 37, or making misrepresentation on or failure to disclose
controllers of foreign-invested enterprise that is established through round-trip investment, may result in restrictions being
imposed on the foreign exchange activities of the relevant onshore company, including the increase of its registered capital,
the payment of dividends and other distributions to its offshore parent or affiliate and the capital inflow from the offshore
entities, and may also subject relevant PRC residents to penalties under PRC foreign exchange administration regulations. PRC
residents who directly or indirectly hold any shares in our company from time to time are required to register with SAFE in connection
with their investments in us. We have requested PRC residents holding direct or indirect interest in our company to our knowledge
to make the necessary applications, filings and amendments as required under the SAFE Circular 37 and other related rules.
As
of the date of this disclosure, the PRC residents have either not completed, or have not applied for, foreign exchange registration
under the SAFE Circular 37 and other related rules. Although they are either in the process of making foreign exchange registration
or plan to make foreign exchange registrations, they may still face with the above said possible fines in accordance with the
PRC Laws.
Regulations
on Dividend Distribution
The
principal laws and regulations regulating the distribution of dividends by FIEs in China include the PRC Company Law, as amended
in 2004, 2005, 2013, and 2018, and the 2019 PRC Foreign Investment Law and its Implementation Rules. Under the current regulatory
regime in China, FIEs in China may pay dividends only out of their retained earnings, if any, determined in accordance with PRC
accounting standards and regulations. A PRC company is required to set aside as statutory reserve funds at least 10% of its after-tax
profit, until the cumulative amount of such reserve funds reaches 50% of its registered capital unless laws regarding foreign
investment provide otherwise. A PRC company cannot distribute any profits until any losses from prior fiscal years have been offset.
Profits retained from prior fiscal years may be distributed together with distributable profits from the current fiscal year.
We
currently intend to retain most, if not all, of our available funds and any future earnings to fund the development and growth
of our business. As a result, we do not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Therefore, you should not
rely on an investment in our common stock as a source for any future dividend income.
Regulation
on M&A Rules
In
August 2006, six PRC governmental agencies jointly promulgated the Regulations on Mergers and Acquisitions of Domestic Enterprises
by Foreign Investors, or the M&A Rule, as most recently amended in 2009. The M&A Rule requires offshore special purpose
vehicles formed to pursue overseas listing of equity interests in PRC companies and controlled directly or indirectly by PRC companies
or individuals to obtain the approval of the China Securities Regulatory Commission (“CSRC”) prior to the listing
and trading of such special purpose vehicle’s securities on any stock exchange overseas.
The
application of the M&A Rules remains unclear. We believe that, to our understanding, based on the current PRC laws, rules
and regulations, prior approval from the CSRC is not required under the M&A Rules for the listing and trading of our shares.
because (i) the CSRC currently has not issued any definitive rule or interpretation concerning whether offerings under the document
are subject to the M&A Rules; (ii) the PRC Subsidiary is directly established as wholly foreign-owned enterprises, and the
Company has not acquired any equity interest or assets of a PRC domestic company owned by PRC companies or individuals as defined
under the M&A Rules that are the Company’s beneficial owners after the effective date of the M&A Rules. However,
uncertainties still exist as to how the M&A Rules will be interpreted and implemented and our opinions summarized above are
subject to any new laws, rules and regulations or detailed implementations and interpretations in any form relating to the M&A
Rules.
Regulations
on Taxation
Enterprise
Income Tax
On
March 16, 2007, the National People’s Congress promulgated the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, which was amended on February
24, 2017 and December 29, 2018. On December 6, 2007, the State Council enacted the Regulations for the Implementation of the Enterprise
Income Tax Law, which became effective on January 1, 2008 and amended on April 23, 2019. Under the Enterprise Income Tax Law and
the relevant implementation regulations, both resident enterprises and non-resident enterprises are subject to tax in China. Resident
enterprises are defined as enterprises that are established in China in accordance with PRC laws, or that are established in accordance
with the laws of foreign countries but are actually or in effect controlled from within China. Non-resident enterprises are defined
as enterprises that are organized under the laws of foreign countries and whose actual management is conducted outside China,
but have established institutions or premises in China, or have no such established institutions or premises but have income generated
from inside China. Under the Enterprise Income Tax Law and relevant implementing regulations, a uniform corporate income tax rate
of 25% is applied. However, if non-resident enterprises have not formed permanent establishments or premises in China, or if they
have formed permanent establishment or premises in China but there is no actual relationship between the relevant income derived
in China and the established institutions or premises set up by them, enterprise income tax is set at the rate of 10% with respect
to their income sourced from inside the PRC.
Value-Added
Tax
The
PRC Provisional Regulations on Value-Added Tax were promulgated by the State Council on December 13, 1993, which became effective
on January 1, 1994 and were subsequently amended from time to time. The Detailed Rules for the Implementation of the PRC Provisional
Regulations on Value-Added Tax (2011 Revision) was promulgated by the Ministry of Finance on December 25, 1993 and subsequently
amended on December 15, 2008 and October 28, 2011. On November 19, 2017, the State Council promulgated the Decisions on Abolishing
the PRC Provisional Regulations on Business Tax and Amending the PRC Provisional Regulations on Value-Added Tax. Pursuant to these
regulations, rules and decisions, all enterprises and individuals engaged in sale of goods, provision of processing, repair, and
replacement services, sales of services, intangible assets, real property, and the importation of goods within the PRC territory
are VAT taxpayers. On March 21, 2019, the Ministry of Finance, the SAT, and the General Administration of Customs jointly issued
the Announcement on Relevant Policies on Deepen the Reform of Value-Added Tax. Sales revenue represents the invoiced value of
goods, net of VAT. The VAT is based on gross sales price and VAT rates range up to 17%, starting from May 1, 2018, VAT rate was
lowered to 16%, and starting from April 1, 2019, VAT rate was further lowered to 13%.
Dividend
Withholding Tax
The
Enterprise Income Tax Law provides that since January 1, 2008, an income tax rate of 10% will normally be applicable to dividends
declared to non-PRC resident investors that do not have an establishment or place of business in China, or that have such establishment
or place of business but the relevant income is not effectively connected with the establishment or place of business, to the
extent such dividends are derived from sources within China.
Pursuant
to the Arrangement Between the Mainland of China and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region for the Avoidance of Double Taxation
and the Prevention of Fiscal Evasion with Respect to Taxes on Income and Capital, and other applicable PRC laws, if a Hong Kong
resident enterprise is determined by the competent PRC tax authority to have met the relevant conditions and requirements under
this arrangement and other applicable laws, the 10% withholding tax on the dividends the Hong Kong resident enterprise receives
from a PRC resident enterprise may be reduced to 5%. However, based on the Circular on Certain Issues with Respect to the Enforcement
of Dividend Provisions in Tax Treaties issued on February 20, 2009, if the relevant PRC tax authorities determine, in their discretions,
that a company benefits from such reduced income tax rate due to a structure or arrangement that is primarily tax-driven, such
PRC tax authorities may adjust the preferential tax treatment. Pursuant to the Circular on Several Questions regarding the “Beneficial
Owner” in Tax Treaties, which was issued on February 3, 2018 by the SAT and became effective on April 1, 2018, when determining
the applicant’s status as the “beneficial owner” regarding tax treatments in connection with dividends, interests,
or royalties in the tax treaties, several factors, including, without limitation, whether the applicant is obligated to pay more
than 50% of his or her income in twelve months to residents in third country or region, whether the business operated by the applicant
constitutes the actual business activities, and whether the counterparty country or region to the tax treaties does not levy any
tax or grant any tax exemption on relevant incomes or levy tax at an extremely low rate, will be taken into account, and such
factors will be analyzed according to the actual circumstances of the specific cases. This circular further provides that an applicant
who intends to prove his or her status as the “beneficial owner” must submit the relevant documents to the relevant
tax bureau pursuant to the Announcement on Issuing the Measures for the Administration of Non-Resident Taxpayers’ Enjoyment
of the Treatment under Tax Agreements.
Regulations
on Employment Laws
In
accordance with the PRC National Labor Law, which became effective in January 1995 and amended from time to time, and the PRC
Labor Contract Law, which became effective in January 2008, as amended subsequently, employers must execute written labor contracts
with full-time employees in order to establish an employment relationship. All employers must compensate their employees equal
to at least the local minimum wage standards. All employers are required to establish a system for labor safety and sanitation,
strictly abide by state rules and standards and provide employees with appropriate workplace safety training. In addition, employers
in China are obliged to pay contributions to the social insurance plan and the housing fund plan for employees.

which would cause you to lose all or part of your investment. Our business, operating results, financial condition and prospects
could also be harmed by risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently do not believe are material.
We
consider the following to be the material risks for an investor regarding our common stock. Our Company should be viewed as a
high-risk investment and speculative in nature. An investment in our common stock may result in a complete loss of the invested
amount. An investment in our common stock is highly speculative, and should only be made by persons who can afford to lose their
entire investment in us. You should carefully consider the following risk factors and other information in this Registration Statement
before deciding to become a holder of our common stock. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business and financial
results could be negatively affected to a significant extent.
Risks
Related to Our Business and Industry
The
current COVID-19 pandemic, as well as other epidemics, natural disasters, terrorist activities, political unrest, and other outbreaks
could disrupt our delivery and operations, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and
results of operations.
As
of June 30, 2020, our revenues were approximately $5.3 million, a decrease of 52.3% from $11.1 million in the second quarter of
2019. The current COVID-19 pandemic adversely affected many aspects of our business, including production, supply chain, and sales
and delivery. Our manufacturing facility underwent temporary yet prolonged closure in February 2020 as part of China’s nationwide
efforts to contain the spread of the novel coronavirus. Even though our business is currently operational, our production capacity
and operational efficiency are still adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic due to insufficient workforce in production,
sales, and delivery as a result of temporary travel restrictions in China and the necessity to comply with disease control protocols
in our business establishments and manufacturing facility. Our suppliers’ abilities to timely deliver raw materials, parts
and components, or other services were also adversely affected for similar reasons. The global spread of COVID-19 may also affect
our overseas sales. As a result of varying levels of travel and other restrictions for public health concerns in various regions
of China, we also temporarily postponed the delivery of our products to our customers. While the duration of the impact of the
pandemic on our business and related financial impacts cannot be reasonably estimated at this time, our results of operations
for the first half of 2020 were adversely affected with potential continuing impacts on subsequent periods. In addition, we expect
that the COVID-19 pandemic may adversely affect our manufacturing ability, our delivery and after-sale services in China, which
may adversely affect our sales and delivery growth in 2020. COVID-19 has had a global economic impact on the financial markets.
The global spread of COVID-19 pandemic may result in global economic distress, and the extent to which it may affect our results
of operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. We cannot assure you that
the COVID-19 pandemic can be eliminated or contained in the near future, or at all, or a similar outbreak will not occur again.
If the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting disruption to our business were to extend over a prolonged period, it could materially
and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Global
pandemics, epidemics in China or elsewhere in the world, or fear of spread of contagious diseases, such as Ebola virus disease
(EVD), coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS), severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS),
H1N1 flu, H7N9 flu, and avian flu, as well as hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis, or other natural disasters could disrupt our
business operations, reduce or restrict our supply of products and services, incur significant costs to protect our employees
and facilities, or result in regional or global economic distress, which may materially and adversely affect our business, financial
condition, and results of operations. Actual or threatened war, terrorist activities, political unrest, civil strife, and other
geopolitical uncertainty could have a similar adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Any one or more of these events may impede our production and delivery efforts and adversely affect our sales results, or even
for a prolonged period of time, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of
operations.
We
are also vulnerable to natural disasters and other calamities. We cannot assure you that we are adequately protected from the
effects of fire, floods, typhoons, earthquakes, power loss, telecommunications failures, break-ins, war, riots, terrorist attacks,
or similar events. Any of the foregoing events may give rise to interruptions, damage to our property, delays in production, breakdowns,
system failures, technology platform failures, or internet failures, which could cause the loss or corruption of data or malfunctions
of our manufacturing facility as well as adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Our
operating history may not be indicative of our future growth or financial results and we may not be able to sustain our historical
growth rates.
Our
operating history may not be indicative of our future growth or financial results. There is no assurance that we will be able
to grow in future periods. Our growth rates may decline for any number of possible reasons and some of them are beyond our control,
including decreasing customer demand, increasing competition, declining growth of the touchscreen industry in general, emergence
of alternative business models, or changes in government policies or general economic conditions. We will continue to expand our
sales network and product offerings to bring greater convenience to our customers and to increase our customer base and number
of transactions. However, the execution of our expansion plan is subject to uncertainty and the total number of items sold and
number of transacting customers may not grow at the rate we expect for the reasons stated above. If our growth rates decline,
investors’ perceptions of our business and prospects may be adversely affected and the market price of our common stock
could decline.
We
are heavily dependent on our top customers. If we fail to acquire new customers or retain existing customers in a cost-effective
manner, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.
We
are heavily dependent on our top customers. We currently sell our products primarily through direct customers in the PRC and to
some extent, the overseas customers in European countries and East Asia such as South Korea and Taiwan. For the year ended December
31, 2019 and for the six months ended June 30, 2020, our top five customers accounted for an aggregate of approximately 70% of
our revenues.
Our
ability to cost-effectively attract new customers and retain existing customers, especially our top customers, is crucial to driving
net revenues growth and achieving profitability. We have invested significantly in branding, sales and marketing to acquire and
retain customers since our inception. For example, we attend domestic and international expos and exhibitions in marketing our
products and attracting new customers. We also expect to continue to invest significantly to acquire new customers and retain
existing ones, especially our top customers. There can be no assurance that new customers will stay with us, or the net revenues
from new customers we acquire will ultimately exceed the cost of acquiring those customers. In addition, if our existing customers,
especially our existing top customers no longer find our products appealing, or if our competitors offer more attractive products,
prices, discounts or better customer services, our existing customers may lose interest in us, decrease their orders or even stop
ordering from us. If we are unable to retain our existing customers, especially our top customers or to acquire new customers
in a cost-effective manner, our revenues may decrease and our results of operations will be adversely affected.
Failure
to maintain the quality and safety of our products could have a material and adverse effect on our reputation, financial condition
and results of operations.
The
quality and safety of our products are critical to our success. We pay close attention to quality control, monitoring each step
in the process from procurement to production and from warehouse to delivery. Yet, maintaining consistent product quality depends
significantly on the effectiveness of our quality control system, which in turn depends on a number of factors, including but
not limited to the design of our quality control system, employee training to ensure that our employees adhere to and implement
our quality control policies and procedures and the effectiveness of monitoring any potential violation of our quality control
policies and procedures. There can be no assurance that our quality control system will always prove to be effective.
In
addition, the quality of the products or services provided by our suppliers or service providers is subject to factors beyond
our control, including the effectiveness and the efficiency of their quality control system, among others. There can be no assurance
that our suppliers or service providers may always be able to adopt appropriate quality control systems and meet our stringent
quality control requirements in respect of the products or services they provide. Any failure of our suppliers or service providers
to provide satisfactory products or services could harm our reputation and adversely impact our operations. In addition, we may
be unable to receive sufficient compensation from suppliers and service providers for the losses caused by them.
We
face intense competition in the touchscreen industry in general. If we fail to compete effectively, we may lose market share and
customers, and our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.
The
touchscreen industry is intensely competitive in general. We face few competition as we produce medium to large size capacitive
touchscreens which are specially tailored to certain industries, such as industrial HMI, gaming, financing, lottery, automotive,
lottery, medical, POS, HMI, etc, and requires more stable supply, longer guaranty and life span, compared with small size touchscreens
which is characteristic with shorter life cycle and guaranty but more demand in quantity. However, we still have some competitors
competing in China and globally with us. Our competitors may have more financial, technical, geographical advantage, marketing
and other resources than we do and may be more experienced and able to devote greater resources to the development, promotion
and support of their business. Some competitors are well-established in China and globally and any defensive measures they take
in response to our expansion could hinder our growth and adversely affect our sales and results of operations.
Furthermore,
increased competition may reduce our market share and profitability and require us to increase our sales and marketing efforts
and capital commitment in the future, which could negatively affect our results of operations or force us to incur further losses.
Although we have accumulated some and continuously growing our customer base, there is no assurance that we will be able to continue
to do so in the future against current or future competitors, and such competitive pressures may have a material adverse effect
on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Mr.
Guangde Cai, our Chairman, beneficially owns 21.5% of our outstanding shares and his interests may differ from the interests of
other shareholders, which could cause a material decline in the value of our shares.
Since
Mr. Guangde Cai, our Chairman, beneficially owns 21.5% of our outstanding shares, he could have significant influence on determining
the outcome of any matters submitted to the shareholders for approval, including mergers, consolidations, the election of directors
and other significant corporate actions. Without his consent, we may be prevented from entering into transactions that could be
beneficial to us or our minority shareholders. His interest may differ from the interests of our other shareholders. The concentration
in the ownership of our shares may cause a material decline in the value of our shares.
We
cannot assure you that Mr. Cai will act in our best interests given Mr. Cai’s ability to control related parties, such as
Chengdu Wetouch, Meishan Wetouch and Xinjiang Wetouch Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. See “Certain Relationships and
Related Transactions, and Director Independence”.
Any
adjustment of related party transaction pricing could lead to additional taxes, and therefore substantially reduce our consolidated
net income and the value of your investment.
The
tax regime in China is rapidly evolving and there is significant uncertainty for taxpayers in China as PRC tax laws may be interpreted
in significantly different ways. The PRC tax authorities may assert that we or our subsidiaries owe and/or are required to pay
additional taxes on previous or future revenue or income. In particular, under applicable PRC laws, rules and regulations, arrangements
and transactions among related parties may be subject to audit or challenge by the PRC tax authorities. If the PRC tax authorities
determine that any contractual arrangements were not entered into on an arm’s length basis and therefore constitute a favorable
transfer pricing, the PRC tax liabilities of the relevant subsidiaries could be increased, which could increase our overall tax
liabilities. In addition, the PRC tax authorities may impose late payment interest. Our net income may be materially reduced if
our tax liabilities increase.
If
our preferential tax treatments and government subsidies are revoked or become unavailable or if the calculation of our tax liability
is successfully challenged by the PRC tax authorities, we may be required to pay tax, interest and penalties in excess of our
tax provisions.
The
Chinese government has provided tax incentives to our subsidiary in China, including reduced enterprise income tax rates. For
example, under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law and its implementation rules, the statutory enterprise income
tax rate is 25%. However, the income tax of an enterprise that has been determined to be a qualified enterprise located in western
region of PRC can be reduced to a preferential rate of 15%. The qualification of preferential tax rate is effective for a renewable
three-year permitted. If our PRC subsidiary fails to renew the qualification of preferential tax rate benefit, our PRC subsidiary
will be subject to the statutory enterprise income tax rate of 25%. Further, in the ordinary course of our business, we are subject
to complex income tax and other tax regulations, and significant judgment is required in the determination of a provision for
income taxes. Although we believe our tax provisions are reasonable, if the PRC tax authorities successfully challenge our position
and we are required to pay tax, interest, and penalties in excess of our tax provisions, our financial condition and results of
operations would be materially and adversely affected.
A
significant interruption in the operations of our third-party suppliers could potentially disrupt our operations.
We
have limited control over the operations of our third-party suppliers and other business partners and any significant interruption
in their operations may have an adverse impact on our operations. For example, a significant interruption in the operations of
our supplier’s manufacturing facilities could cause delay or termination of shipment of the raw materials to us, which may
cause delay or termination of shipment of our products to our customers, thus resulting in penalties or fines due to our breach
of contract. If we could not solve the impact of the interruptions of operations of our third-party suppliers, our business operations
and financial results may be materially and adversely affected.
We
face the risk of fluctuations in the cost, availability and quality of our raw materials, which could adversely affect our results
of operations.
The
cost, availability and quality of the raw materials, such as indium tin oxide glasses, panels, are important to our operations.
If the cost of raw materials increases due to large market price fluctuation or due to any other reason, our business and results
of operations could be adversely affected. Lack of availability of these raw materials, whether due to shortages in supply, delays
or interruptions in processing, failure of timely delivery or otherwise, could interrupt our operations and adversely affect our
financial results.
We
are dependent upon key executives and highly qualified managers and we cannot assure their retention.
Our
success depends, in part, upon the continued services of key members of our management. Our executives’ and managers’
knowledge of the market, our business and our Company represents a key strength of our business, which cannot be easily replicated.
The success of our business strategy and our future growth also depend on our ability to attract, train, retain and motivate skilled
managerial, sales, administration, development and operating personnel.
There
can be no assurance that our existing personnel will be adequate or qualified to carry out our strategy, or that we will be able
to hire or retain experienced, qualified employees to carry out our strategy. The loss of one or more of our key management or
operating personnel, or the failure to attract and retain additional key personnel, could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition and results of operations.
We
do not have long term contracts with our suppliers and they can reduce order quantities or terminate their sales to us at any
time.
We
do not have long term contracts with our suppliers. At any time, our suppliers can reduce the quantities of products they sell
to us, or cease selling products to us altogether. Such reductions or terminations could have a material adverse impact on our
revenues, profits and financial condition.
If
we fail to adopt new technologies to evolving customer needs or emerging industry standards, our business may be materially and
adversely affected.
To
remain competitive, we must continue to stay abreast of the constantly evolving industry trends and to enhance and improve our
technology accordingly. Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to identify, develop, acquire or license leading technologies
useful in our business. There can be no assurance that we will be able to use new technologies effectively or meet customer’s
requirements. If we are unable to adapt in a cost-effective and timely manner in response to changing market conditions or customer
preferences, whether for technical, legal, financial or other reasons, our business may be materially and adversely affected.
We
may experience significant liability claims or complaints from customers, or adverse publicity involving our products and our
services.
We
face an inherent risk of liability claims or complaints from our customers. We take our customers’ complaints seriously
and endeavor to reduce such complaints by implementing various remedial measures. Nevertheless, we cannot assure you that we can
successfully prevent or address all customer complaints.
Any
complaints or claims against us, even if meritless and unsuccessful, may divert management attention and other resources from
our business and adversely affect our business and operations. Customers may lose confidence in us and our brand, which may adversely
affect our business and results of operations. Furthermore, negative publicity including but not limited to negative online reviews
on social media and crowd-sourced review platforms, industry findings or media reports related to safety and quality of our products,
whether or not accurate, and whether or not concerning our products, can adversely affect our business, results of operations
and reputation.
PRC
regulations relating to the establishment of offshore special purpose companies by PRC residents may subject our PRC resident
beneficial owners or our PRC subsidiary to liability or penalties, limit our ability to inject capital into our PRC subsidiary,
limit our PRC subsidiary’ ability to increase their registered capital or distribute profits to us, or may otherwise adversely
affect us.
In
July 2014, SAFE promulgated the Circular on Relevant Issues Concerning Foreign Exchange Control on Domestic Residents’ Offshore
Investment and Financing and Roundtrip Investment Through Special Purpose Vehicles, or SAFE Circular 37, to replace the Notice
on Relevant Issues Concerning Foreign Exchange Administration for Domestic Residents’ Financing and Roundtrip Investment
Through Offshore Special Purpose Vehicles, or SAFE Circular 75, which ceased to be effective upon the promulgation of SAFE Circular
37. SAFE Circular 37 requires PRC residents (including PRC individuals and PRC corporate entities) to register with SAFE or its
local branches in connection with their direct or indirect offshore investment activities. SAFE Circular 37 is applicable to our
shareholders who are PRC residents and may be applicable to any offshore acquisitions that we make in the future.
Under
SAFE Circular 37, PRC residents who make, or have prior to the implementation of SAFE Circular 37 made, direct or indirect investments
in offshore special purpose vehicles, or SPVs, will be required to register such investments with SAFE or its local branches.
In addition, any PRC resident who is a direct or indirect shareholder of an SPV is required to update its filed registration with
the local branch of SAFE with respect to that SPV, to reflect any material change. Moreover, any subsidiary of such SPV in China
is required to urge the PRC resident shareholders to update their registration with the local branch of SAFE. If any PRC shareholder
of such SPV fails to make the required registration or to update the previously filed registration, the subsidiary of such SPV
in China may be prohibited from distributing its profits or the proceeds from any capital reduction, share transfer or liquidation
to the SPV, and the SPV may also be prohibited from making additional capital contributions into its subsidiary in China. On February 13,
2015, the SAFE promulgated a Notice on Further Simplifying and Improving Foreign Exchange Administration Policy on Direct Investment,
or SAFE Notice 13, which became effective on June 1, 2015. Under SAFE Notice 13, applications for foreign exchange registration
of inbound foreign direct investments and outbound overseas direct investments, including those required under SAFE Circular 37,
will be filed with qualified banks instead of SAFE. The qualified banks will directly examine the applications and accept registrations
under the supervision of SAFE.
Some
of our shareholders that we are aware of are subject to SAFE regulations, and we expect all of these shareholders will have completed
all necessary registrations with the local SAFE branch or qualified banks as required by SAFE Circular 37. We cannot assure you,
however, that all of these shareholders may continue to make required filings or updates in a timely manner, or at all. We can
provide no assurance that we are or will in the future continue to be informed of identities of all PRC residents holding direct
or indirect interest in our company. Any failure or inability by such shareholders to comply with SAFE regulations may subject
us to fines or legal sanctions, such as restrictions on our cross-border investment activities or our PRC subsidiaries’
ability to distribute dividends to, or obtain foreign exchange-denominated loans from, our company or prevent us from making distributions
or paying dividends. As a result, our business operations and our ability to make distributions to you could be materially and
adversely affected.
Furthermore,
as these foreign exchange regulations are still relatively new and their interpretation and implementation have been constantly
evolving, it is unclear how these regulations, and any future regulation concerning offshore or cross-border transactions, will
be interpreted, amended and implemented by the relevant government authorities. For example, we may be subject to a more stringent
review and approval process with respect to our foreign exchange activities, such as remittance of dividends and foreign-currency-denominated
borrowings, which may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, if we decide to acquire
a PRC domestic company, we cannot assure you that we or the owners of such company, as the case may be, will be able to obtain
the necessary approvals or complete the necessary filings and registrations required by the foreign exchange regulations. This
may restrict our ability to implement our acquisition strategy and could adversely affect our business and prospects.
As
of the date of this disclosure, the PRC residents have either not completed, or have not applied for, foreign exchange registration
under the SAFE Circular 37 and other related rules. Although they are either in the process of making foreign exchange registration
or plan to make foreign exchange registrations, they may still face with the above said possible fines in accordance with the
PRC Laws.
Economic
recessions could have a significant, adverse impact on our business.
Our
revenues are generated from sales of our capacitive touchscreen products both domestically and internationally and we anticipate
that revenues from such sales will continue to represent the substantial portion of our total revenues in the near future. Our
sales and earnings can also be affected by changes in the general economy.
The
touchscreen industry historically has experienced cyclical fluctuations in financial results due to economic recession, downturns
in business cycles of our customers, interest rate fluctuations, and other economic factors beyond our control. Deterioration
in the economic environment subjects our business to various risks, which may have a material and adverse impact on our operating
results and cause us to not reach our long-term growth goals. For example, a downturn in the economy could directly affect the
discretionary spending power of our customers and in turn, depress the number of orders for our products.
We
may be subject to intellectual property infringement claims, which may be expensive to defend and may disrupt our business and operations.
We
cannot be certain that our operations or any aspects of our business do not or will not infringe upon or otherwise violate intellectual
property rights held by third parties. We have not but in the future may be, subject to legal proceedings and claims relating
to the intellectual property rights of others. There could also be existing intellectual property of which we are not aware that
our products may inadvertently infringe. We cannot assure you that holders of intellectual property purportedly relating to some
aspect of our technology or business, if any such holders exist, would not seek to enforce such intellectual property against
us in China, or any other jurisdictions. If we are found to have violated the intellectual property rights of others, we may be
subject to liability for our infringement activities or may be prohibited from using such intellectual property, and we may incur
licensing fees or be forced to develop alternatives of our own. In addition, we may incur significant expenses, and may be forced
to divert management’s time and other resources from our business and operations to defend against these infringement claims,
regardless of their merits. Successful infringement or licensing claims made against us may result in significant monetary liabilities
and may materially disrupt our business and operations by restricting or prohibiting our use of the intellectual property in question,
and our business, financial position and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
Further,
the application and interpretation of China’s patent laws and the procedures and standards for granting patents in China
are still evolving and are uncertain, and we cannot assure you that PRC courts or regulatory authorities would agree with our
analysis.
We
may not be able to prevent others from unauthorized use of our intellectual property, which could harm our business and competitive
position.
We
regard our trademark, patents, know-how, proprietary technologies, and similar intellectual property as critical to our success.
We may become an attractive target to intellectual property attacks in the future with the increasing recognition of our brand.
Any of our intellectual property rights could be challenged, invalidated, circumvented or misappropriated, or such intellectual
property may not be sufficient to provide us with competitive advantages. In addition, there can be no assurance that (i) all
of our intellectual property rights will be adequately protected, or (ii) our intellectual property rights will not be challenged
by third parties or found by a judicial authority to be invalid or unenforceable.
Changes
in U.S. and international trade policies, particularly with regard to China, may adversely impact our business and operating results.
The
U.S. government has recently made statements and taken certain actions that may lead to potential changes to U.S. and international
trade policies, including recently-imposed tariffs affecting certain products manufactured in China. It is unknown whether and
to what extent new tariffs (or other new laws or regulations) will be adopted, or the effect that any such actions would have
on us or our industry and customers. Although cross-border business may not be an area of our focus, if we plan to sell our products
internationally in the future, any unfavorable government policies on international trade, such as capital controls or tariffs,
may affect the demand for our products and services, impact the competitive position of our products or prevent us from being
able to sell products in certain countries. If any new tariffs, legislation and/or regulations are implemented, or if existing
trade agreements are renegotiated or, in particular, if the U.S. government takes retaliatory trade actions due to the recent
U.S.-China trade tension, such changes could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations.
We
have no business liability or disruption insurance, which could expose us to significant costs and business disruption.
The
insurance industry in China is still at an early stage of development, and insurance companies in China currently offer limited
business-related insurance products. We do not have any business liability or disruption insurance to cover our operations. We
have determined that the costs of insuring for these risks and the difficulties associated with acquiring such insurance on commercially
reasonable terms make it impractical for us to have such insurance. Any uninsured risks may result in substantial costs and the
diversion of resources, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
We
may incur liabilities that are not covered by insurance.
While
we seek to maintain appropriate levels of insurance, not all claims are insurable and we may experience major incidents of a nature
that are not covered by insurance. We do not have other insurances that cover, among other things, employee-related accidents
and injuries, product or business liability and other property damage and liability deriving from our activities. Furthermore,
insurance companies in China currently do not offer as extensive an array of insurance products as insurance companies in more
developed economies. We have determined that the costs of insuring for these risks and the difficulties associated with acquiring
such insurance on commercially reasonable terms make it impractical for us to have such insurance. We maintain an amount of insurance
protection that we believe is adequate, but there can be no assurance that such insurance will continue to be available on acceptable
terms or that our insurance coverage will be sufficient or effective under all circumstances and against all liabilities to which
we may be subject. If we were to incur substantial losses or liabilities due to fire, explosions, floods, other natural disasters
or accidents or business interruption, our results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. We could, for example,
be subject to substantial claims for damages upon the occurrence of several events within one calendar year. In addition, our
insurance costs may increase over time in response to any negative development in our claims history or due to material price
increases in the insurance market in general.
Risks
Related to Doing Business in China
Labor
laws in the PRC may adversely affect our results of operations.
The
PRC National People’s Congress promulgated the Labor Contract Law which became effective on January 1, 2008 and was amended
on December 28, 2012, and the State Council promulgated implementing rules for the labor contract law on September 18,
2008. The labor contract law and the implementing rules impose requirements concerning, among others, the execution of written
contracts between employers and employees, the time limits for probationary periods, and the length of employment contracts. The
interpretation and implementation of these regulations are still evolving, our employment practices may violate the labor contract
law and related regulations and we could be subject to penalties, fines or legal fees as a result. If we are subject to severe
penalties or incur significant legal fees in connection with labor law disputes or investigations, our business, financial condition
and results of operations may be adversely affected.
Further,
the law requires certain terminations be based upon seniority and not merit. In the event that we decide to significantly change
or decrease our workforce, the Labor Contract Law could adversely affect our ability to enact such changes in a manner that is
most advantageous to our business or in a timely and cost-effective manner, thus materially and adversely affecting our financial
condition and results of operations.
Non-compliance
with labor-related laws and regulations of the PRC may have an adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operation.
We
have been subject to stricter regulatory requirements in terms of entering into labor contracts with our employees and paying
various statutory employee benefits, including pensions, housing fund, medical insurance, work-related injury insurance, unemployment
insurance and childbearing insurance to designated government agencies for the benefit of our employees. Pursuant to the PRC Labor
Contract Law, or the Labor Contract Law, that became effective in January 2008 and its implementing rules that became effective
in September 2008 and was amended in July 2013, employers are subject to stricter requirements in terms of signing labor contracts,
minimum wages, paying remuneration, determining the term of employees’ probation and unilaterally terminating labor contracts.
In the event that we decide to terminate some of our employees or otherwise change our employment or labor practices, the Labor
Contract Law and its implementation rules may limit our ability to effect those changes in a desirable or cost-effective manner,
which could adversely affect our business and results of operations.. We believe our current practice complies with the Labor
Contract Law and its amendments. However, the relevant governmental authorities may take a different view and impose fines on
us.
As
the interpretation and implementation of labor-related laws and regulations are still evolving, we cannot assure you that our
employment practice does not and will not violate labor-related laws and regulations in China, which may subject us to labor disputes
or government investigations. If we are deemed to have violated relevant labor laws and regulations, we could be required to provide
additional compensation to our employees and our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and
adversely affected.
We
may be exposed to liabilities under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and Chinese anti-corruption law.
In
connection with this offering, we will become subject to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”), and other
laws that prohibit improper payments or offers of payments to foreign governments and their officials and political parties by
U.S. persons and issuers as defined by the statute for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. We are also subject to
Chinese anti-corruption laws, which strictly prohibit the payment of bribes to government officials. We have operations, agreements
with third parties, and make sales in China, which may experience corruption. Our activities in China may create the risk of unauthorized
payments or offers of payments by one of the employees of our company, because sometimes these employees are out of our control.
Violations of the FCPA or Chinese anti-corruption laws may result in severe criminal or civil sanctions, and we may be subject
to other liabilities, which could negatively affect our business, operating results and financial condition. In addition, the
government may seek to hold our Company liable for successor liability FCPA violations committed by companies in which we invest
or that we acquire.
Our
business may be materially and adversely affected if our PRC subsidiary declares bankruptcy or becomes subject to a dissolution
or liquidation proceeding.
The
Enterprise Bankruptcy Law of the PRC, or the Bankruptcy Law, came into effect on June 1, 2007. The Bankruptcy Law provides that
an enterprise will be liquidated if the enterprise fails to settle its debts as and when they fall due and if the enterprise’s
assets are, or are demonstrably, insufficient to clear such debts.
Our
PRC subsidiary holds certain assets that are important to our business operations. If our PRC subsidiary undergoes a voluntary
or involuntary liquidation proceeding, unrelated third-party creditors may claim rights to some or all of these assets, thereby
hindering our ability to operate our business, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and
results of operations.
According
to the SAFE’s Notice of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange on Further Improving and Adjusting Foreign Exchange
Administration Policies for Direct Investment, effective on December 17, 2012, and the Provisions for Administration of Foreign
Exchange Relating to Inbound Direct Investment by Foreign Investors, effective May 13, 2013, if our PRC subsidiary undergoes a
voluntary or involuntary liquidation proceeding, prior approval from the SAFE for remittance of foreign exchange to our shareholders
abroad is no longer required, but we still need to conduct a registration process with the SAFE local branch. It is not clear
whether “registration” is a mere formality or involves the kind of substantive review process undertaken by SAFE and
its relevant branches in the past.
Changes
in China’s economic, political or social conditions or government policies could have a material adverse effect on our business
and operations.
Substantially
all of our assets and operations are located in China. Accordingly, our business, financial condition, results of operations and
prospects may be influenced to a significant degree by political, economic and social conditions in China generally. The Chinese
economy differs from the economies of most developed countries in many respects, including the level of government involvement,
level of development, growth rate, control of foreign exchange and allocation of resources. Although the Chinese government has
implemented measures emphasizing the utilization of market forces for economic reform, the reduction of state ownership of productive
assets, and the establishment of improved corporate governance in business enterprises, a substantial portion of productive assets
in China is still owned by the government. In addition, the Chinese government continues to play a significant role in regulating
industry development by imposing industrial policies.
The
Chinese government also exercises significant control over China’s economic growth through allocating resources, controlling
payment of foreign currency-denominated obligations, setting monetary policy, and providing preferential treatment to particular
industries or companies.
While
the Chinese economy has experienced significant growth over the past decades, growth has been uneven, both geographically and
among various sectors of the economy. Any adverse changes in economic conditions in China, in the policies of the Chinese government
or in the laws and regulations in China could have a material adverse effect on the overall economic growth of China. Such developments
could adversely affect our business and operating results, lead to reduction in demand for our services and adversely affect our
competitive position. The Chinese government has implemented various measures to encourage economic growth and guide the allocation
of resources. Some of these measures may benefit the overall Chinese economy, but may have a negative effect on us. For example,
our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by government control over capital investments or
changes in tax regulations. In addition, in the past the Chinese government has implemented certain measures, including interest
rate adjustment, to control the pace of economic growth. These measures may cause decreased economic activity in China, which
may adversely affect our business and operating results.
Uncertainties
with respect to the PRC legal system and changes in laws and regulations in China could adversely affect us.
Our
operations in China are governed by PRC laws and regulations. Our wholly foreign-owned PRC operating subsidiary Sichuan Wetouch
is subject to laws and regulations applicable to foreign investment in China. The PRC legal system is a civil law system based
on written statutes. Unlike the common law system, prior court decisions under the civil law system may be cited for reference
but have limited precedential value. In addition, any new or changes in PRC laws and regulations related to foreign investment
in China could affect the business environment and our ability to operate our business in China.
From
time to time, we may have to resort to administrative and court proceedings to enforce our legal rights. Any administrative and
court proceedings in China may be protracted, resulting in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention.
Since PRC administrative and court authorities have significant discretion in interpreting and implementing statutory provisions
and contractual terms, it may be more difficult to evaluate the outcome of administrative and court proceedings and the level
of legal protection we enjoy than in more developed legal systems. These uncertainties may impede our ability to enforce the contracts
we have entered into and could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations.
Furthermore,
the PRC legal system is based in part on government policies and internal rules, some of which are not published on a timely basis
or at all and may have retroactive effect. As a result, we may not be aware of our violation of any of these policies and rules
until sometime after the violation. Such unpredictability towards our contractual, property and procedural rights could adversely
affect our business and impede our ability to continue our operations.
You
may experience difficulties in effecting service of legal process, enforcing foreign judgments or bringing actions in China against
us or our management named in this registration statement based on foreign laws.
We
are a company incorporated under the laws of the United States and we conduct substantially all of our operations in China. In
addition, our officers and directors reside within China and are PRC nationals. As a result, it may be difficult for you to effect
service of process upon us or those persons inside mainland China. It may also be difficult for you to enforce in U.S. courts
judgments obtained in U.S. courts based on the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws against
us and our officers and directors as none of them currently resides in the United States or has substantial assets located
in the United States. In addition, there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of the PRC would recognize or enforce judgments
of U.S. courts against us or such persons predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States
or any state.
The
recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments are provided for under the PRC Civil Procedures Law. PRC courts may recognize
and enforce foreign judgments in accordance with the requirements of the PRC Civil Procedures Law based either on treaties between
China and the country where the judgment is made or on principles of reciprocity between jurisdictions. China does not have any
treaties or other forms of written arrangement with the United States that provide for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement
of foreign judgments. In addition, according to the PRC Civil Procedures Law, the PRC courts will not enforce a foreign judgment
against us or our directors and officers if they decide that the judgment violates the basic principles of PRC laws or national
sovereignty, security or public interest. As a result, it is uncertain whether and on what basis a PRC court would enforce a judgment
rendered by a court in the United States.
Government
control of currency conversion may affect the value of your investment.
The
PRC government imposes controls on the convertibility of the Renminbi, or “RMB” into foreign currencies and, in certain
cases, the remittance of currency out of China. We receive some revenue and incur some expenses in U.S. dollars but incur other
expenses primarily in RMB. Although our main business is based in mainland China or based in Hong Kong with Chinese operating
subsidiary, some of our business may require us to use U.S. dollars. We choose quotations based on price competitiveness.
Fluctuations
in exchange rates could have a material and adverse effect on our results of operations and the value of your investment.
The
value of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things,
changes in political and economic conditions in China and by China’s foreign exchange policies. On July 21, 2005,
the PRC government changed its decade-old policy of pegging the value of the Renminbi to the U.S. dollar, and the
Renminbi appreciated more than 20% against the U.S. dollar over the following three years. Between July 2008 and
June 2010, this appreciation halted and the exchange rate between the Renminbi and the U.S. dollar remained within a
narrow band. Since June 2010, the Renminbi has fluctuated against the U.S. dollar, at times significantly and
unpredictably. On November 30, 2015, the Executive Board of IMF completed the regular five-year review of the basket of
currencies that make up the Special Drawing Right, or the SDR, and decided that with effect from October 1, 2016,
Renminbi is determined to be a freely usable currency and will be included in the SDR basket as a fifth currency, along with
the U.S. dollar, the Euro, the Japanese yen and the British pound. In the fourth quarter of 2016, the Renminbi has
depreciated significantly in the backdrop of a surging U.S. dollar and persistent capital outflows of China. This
depreciation halted in 2017, and the RMB appreciated approximately 7% against the U.S. dollar during this one-year
period. With the development of the foreign exchange market and progress towards interest rate liberalization and Renminbi
internationalization, the PRC government may in the future announce further changes to the exchange rate system, and we
cannot assure you that the Renminbi will not appreciate or depreciate significantly in value against the U.S. dollar in
the future. It is difficult to predict how market forces or PRC or U.S. government policy may impact the exchange rate
between the Renminbi and the U.S. dollar in the future.
Significant
revaluation of the Renminbi may have a material and adverse effect on our operations. For example, to the extent that we need
to convert U.S. dollars into Renminbi for our operations, appreciation of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar would
have an adverse effect on the Renminbi amount we would receive from the conversion. Conversely, if we decide to convert our Renminbi
into U.S. dollars for the purpose of making payments for dividends on our shares of Common Stock or for other business purposes,
appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the Renminbi would have a negative effect on the U.S. dollar amount available
to us.
Very
limited hedging options are available in China to reduce our exposure to exchange rate fluctuations. To date, we have not entered
into any hedging transactions in an effort to reduce our exposure to foreign currency exchange risk. While we may decide to enter
into hedging transactions in the future, the availability and effectiveness of these hedges may be limited and we may not be able
to adequately hedge our exposure or at all. In addition, our currency exchange losses may be magnified by PRC exchange control
regulations that restrict our ability to convert Renminbi into foreign currency.
Governmental
control of currency conversion may limit our ability to utilize our revenues effectively and affect the value of your investment.
The
PRC government imposes controls on the convertibility of the Renminbi into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance
of currency out of China. We receive substantially all of our revenues in Renminbi. Under existing PRC foreign exchange regulations,
payments of current account items, including profit distributions, interest payments and trade and service-related foreign exchange
transactions, can be made in foreign currencies without prior approval of SAFE by complying with certain procedural requirements.
Specifically, under the existing exchange restrictions, without prior approval of SAFE, cash generated from the operations of
our PRC subsidiary in China may be used to pay dividends to our company. However, approval from or registration with appropriate
government authorities is required where Renminbi is to be converted into foreign currency and remitted out of China to pay capital
expenses such as the repayment of loans denominated in foreign currencies. As a result, we need to obtain SAFE approval to use
cash generated from the operations of our PRC subsidiary to pay off their respective debt in a currency other than Renminbi owed
to entities outside China, or to make other capital expenditure payments outside China in a currency other than Renminbi.
In
light of the flood of capital outflows of China, the PRC government may from time to time impose more restrictive foreign exchange
policies and step up scrutiny of major outbound capital movement. More restrictions and substantial vetting process may be required
by SAFE or other government authorities to regulate cross-border transactions falling under the capital account. The PRC government
may at its discretion restrict access to foreign currencies for current account transactions in the future. If the foreign exchange
control system prevents us from obtaining sufficient foreign currencies to satisfy our foreign currency demands, we may not be
able to pay dividends in foreign currencies to our shareholders, including holders of our Common Stock.
The
approval of the China Securities Regulatory Commission may be required in connection with the filing of this Form 10, and, if
required, we cannot predict whether we will be able to obtain such approval.
The
Regulations on Mergers and Acquisitions of Domestic Companies by Foreign Investors, or the M&A Rules, adopted by six PRC regulatory
agencies requires an overseas special purpose vehicles that are controlled by PRC companies or individuals formed for the purpose
of seeking a public listing on an overseas stock exchange through acquisitions of PRC domestic companies using shares of such
special purpose vehicles or held by its shareholders as considerations to obtain the approval of the China Securities Regulatory
Commission, or the CSRC, prior to the listing and trading of such special purpose vehicle’s securities on an overseas stock
exchange. However, the application of the M&A Rules remains unclear. If CSRC approval is required, it is uncertain whether
it would be possible for us to obtain the approval, and any failure to obtain or delay in obtaining CSRC approval for this offering
would subject us to sanctions imposed by the CSRC and other PRC regulatory agencies.
Our
PRC counsel has advised us based on their understanding of the current PRC laws, rules and regulations that the CSRC’s approval
may not be required for the listing and trading of our Common Stock, given that our PRC subsidiary was incorporated as a wholly
foreign-owned enterprise by means of direct investment rather than by merger or acquisition of equity interest or assets of a
PRC domestic company owned by PRC companies or individuals as defined under the M&A Rules that are our beneficial owners.
However,
our PRC counsel has further advised us that there remains some uncertainty as to how the M&A Rules will be interpreted or
implemented in the context of an overseas offering and its opinions summarized above are subject to any new laws, rules and regulations
or detailed implementations and interpretations in any form relating to the M&A Rules. We cannot assure you that relevant
PRC government agencies, including the CSRC, would reach the same conclusion as we do. If it is determined that CSRC approval
is required in connection with the filing of this Form 10, we may face sanctions by the CSRC or other PRC regulatory agencies
for failure to seek CSRC approval for the filing of this Form 10.
Certain
political and economic considerations relating to the PRC could adversely affect our Company.
While
the PRC’s government has pursued economic reforms since its adoption of the open-door policy in 1978, a large portion of
the PRC’s economy is still operating under five-year plans and annual state plans. Through these plans and other economic
measures, such as control on foreign exchange, taxation and restrictions on foreign participation in the domestic market of various
industries, the PRC’s government exerts considerable direct and indirect influence on the economy. Many of the economic
reforms carried out by the PRC’s government are unprecedented or experimental, and are expected to be refined and improved.
Other political, economic and social factors can also lead to further readjustment of such reforms. This refining and readjustment
process may not necessarily have a positive effect on our operations or future business development. Our operating results may
be adversely affected by changes in the PRC’s economic and social conditions as well as by changes in the policies of the
PRC government, such as changes in laws and regulations (or the official interpretation thereof), measures which may be introduced
to control inflation, changes in the interest rate or method of taxation, and the imposition of restrictions on currency conversion.
The
Chinese government exerts substantial influence over the manner in which we must conduct our business activities.
The
Chinese government has exercised and continues to exercise substantial control over virtually every sector of the Chinese economy
through regulation and state ownership. Our ability to operate in China may be harmed by changes in its laws and regulations,
including those relating to taxation, environmental regulations, land use rights, property and other matters. The central or respective
local governments may impose new, stricter regulations or interpretations of existing regulations that would require additional
expenditures and efforts on our part to ensure our compliance with such regulations or interpretations.
Failure
to comply with the individual foreign exchange rules relating to the overseas direct investment or the engagement in the issuance
or trading of securities overseas by our PRC resident stockholders may subject such stockholders to fines or other liabilities.
Other
than Notice 37, our ability to conduct foreign exchange activities in the PRC may be subject to the interpretation and enforcement
of the Implementation Rules of the Administrative Measures for Individual Foreign Exchange promulgated by SAFE in January 2007
(as amended and supplemented, the “Individual Foreign Exchange Rules”). Under the Individual Foreign Exchange Rules,
any PRC individual seeking to make a direct investment overseas or engage in the issuance or trading of negotiable securities
or derivatives overseas must make the appropriate registrations in accordance with SAFE provisions. PRC individuals who fail to
make such registrations may be subject to warnings, fines or other liabilities.
We
may not be fully informed of the identities of all our beneficial owners who are PRC residents. For example, because the investment
in or trading of our shares will happen in an overseas public or secondary market where shares are often held with brokers in
brokerage accounts, it is unlikely that we will know the identity of all of our beneficial owners who are PRC residents. Furthermore,
we have no control over any of our future beneficial owners and we cannot assure you that such PRC residents will be able to complete
the necessary approval and registration procedures required by the Individual Foreign Exchange Rules.
It
is uncertain how the Individual Foreign Exchange Rules will be interpreted or enforced and whether such interpretation or enforcement
will affect our ability to conduct foreign exchange transactions. Because of this uncertainty, we cannot be sure whether the failure
by any of our PRC resident stockholders to make the required registration will subject our PRC subsidiaries to fines or legal
sanctions on their operations, delay or restriction on repatriation of proceeds of this offering into the PRC, restriction on
remittance of dividends or other punitive actions that would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations
and financial condition.
If
we are unable to obtain business insurance in the PRC, we may not be protected from risks that are customarily covered by insurance
in the United States.
Business
insurance is not readily available in the PRC. To the extent that we suffer a loss of a type that would normally be covered by
insurance in the United States, such as product liability and general liability insurance, we would incur significant expenses
in both defending any action and in paying any claims that result from a settlement or judgment. We have not obtained fire, casualty
and theft insurance, and there is no insurance coverage for our raw materials, goods and merchandise, furniture or buildings in
China. Any losses incurred by us will have to be borne by us without any assistance, and we may not have sufficient capital to
cover material damage to, or the loss of, our production facility due to fire, severe weather, flood or other causes, and such
damage or loss may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, business and prospects.
If
our PRC operating subsidiary’s preferential tax treatments and government subsidies are revoked or become unavailable or
if the calculation of our tax liability is successfully challenged by the PRC tax authorities, we may be required to pay tax,
interest and penalties in excess of our tax provisions.
The
local Chinese government has provided tax incentives to our operating subsidiary Sichuan Wetouch in China, including reduced enterprise
income tax rates. For example, under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law and its implementation rules, the statutory enterprise
income tax rate is 25%. However, the income tax of an enterprise that has been determined to be a qualified enterprise located
in western region of PRC can be reduced to a preferential rate of 15%. The qualification of preferential tax rate is effective
for a renewable three-year permitted. If our PRC subsidiary fails to renew the qualification of preferential tax rate benefit,
our PRC subsidiary will be subject to the statutory enterprise income tax rate of 25%.
Further,
in the ordinary course of our business, we are subject to complex income tax and other tax regulations, and significant judgment
is required in the determination of a provision for income taxes. Although we believe our tax provisions are reasonable, if the
PRC tax authorities successfully challenge our position and we are required to pay tax, interest, and penalties in excess of our
tax provisions, our financial condition and results of operations would be materially and adversely affected.
If
we are classified as a PRC resident enterprise for PRC enterprise income tax purposes, such classification could result in unfavorable
tax consequences to us and our non-PRC shareholders and the common stockholders.
Under
the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law and its implementation rules, an enterprise established outside of the PRC with its
“de facto management body” within the PRC is considered a “resident enterprise” and will
be subject to the enterprise income tax on its global income at the rate of 25%. The implementation rules define the term
“de facto management body” as the body that exercises full and substantial control and overall
management over the business, productions, personnel, accounts and properties of an enterprise. In 2009, the State
Administration of Taxation, or SAT, issued a circular, known as SAT Circular 82, which provides certain specific criteria for
determining whether the “de facto management body” of a PRC-controlled enterprise that is
incorporated offshore is located in China. Although this circular applies only to offshore enterprises controlled by PRC
enterprises or PRC enterprise groups, not those controlled by PRC individuals or foreigners, the criteria set forth in the
circular may reflect the SAT’s general position on how the “de facto management body” text
should be applied in determining the tax resident status of all offshore enterprises. According to SAT Circular 82, an
offshore incorporated enterprise controlled by a PRC enterprise or a PRC enterprise group will be regarded as a PRC tax
resident by virtue of having its “de facto management body” in China, and will be subject to PRC
enterprise income tax on its global income only if all of the following conditions are met: (i) the primary location of
the day-to-day operational management is in the PRC; (ii) decisions relating to the enterprise’s financial and human
resource matters are made or are subject to approval by organizations or personnel in the PRC; (iii) the enterprise’s
primary assets, accounting books and records, company seals, and board and shareholder resolutions are located or maintained
in the PRC; and (iv) at least 50% of voting board members or senior executives habitually reside in the PRC.
We
believe our Company is not a PRC resident enterprise for PRC tax purposes. However, the tax resident status of an enterprise is
subject to determination by the PRC tax authorities and uncertainties remain with respect to the interpretation of the term “de
facto management body.” If the PRC tax authorities determine that our company is a PRC resident enterprise for enterprise
income tax purposes, we would be subject to PRC enterprise income on our worldwide income at the rate of 25%. Furthermore, we
would be required to withhold a 10% tax from dividends we pay to our shareholders that are non-resident enterprises. In addition,
non-resident enterprise shareholders (including the common stockholders) may be subject to PRC tax on gains realized on the sale
or other disposition of the common stock, if such income is treated as sourced from within the PRC. Furthermore, if we are deemed
a PRC resident enterprise, dividends paid to our non-PRC individual shareholders (including the common stock holders) and any
gain realized on the transfer of the common stock or ordinary shares by such shareholders may be subject to PRC tax at a rate
of 20% (which, in the case of dividends, may be withheld at source by us). These rates may be reduced by an applicable tax treaty,
but it is unclear whether non-PRC shareholders of our company would be able to claim the benefits of any tax treaties between
their country of tax residence and the PRC in the event that we are treated as a PRC resident enterprise. Any such tax may reduce
the returns on your investment in our common stock.
The
PRC government may issue further restrictive measures in the future.
We
cannot assure you that the PRC’s government will not issue further restrictive measures in the future. The PRC government’s
restrictive regulations and measures could increase our operating costs in adapting to these regulations and measures, limit our
access to capital resources or even restrict our business operations, which could further adversely affect our business and prospects.
Interpretation
of PRC laws and regulations involve uncertainty.
Our
business is conducted within China and is governed by PRC’s laws and regulations. The PRC’s legal system is based
on written statutes, and prior court decisions can only be used as a reference. Since 1979, the PRC’s government has promulgated
laws and regulations in relation to economic matters such as foreign investment, corporate organization and governance, commerce,
taxation and trade, with a view to developing a comprehensive system of commercial law, including laws relating to property ownership
and development. However, due to the fact that these laws and regulations have not been fully developed, and because of the limited
volume of published cases and the non-binding nature of prior court decisions, interpretation of PRC’s laws and regulations
involves a degree of uncertainty. Some of these laws may be changed without immediate publication or may be amended with retroactive
effect. Depending on the government agency or how an application or case is presented to such agency, we may receive less favorable
interpretations of laws and regulations than our competitors, particularly if a competitor has long been established in the locality
of, and has developed a relationship with such agency. In addition, any litigation in China may be protracted and result in substantial
costs and a diversion of resources and management attention. All of these uncertainties may cause difficulties in the enforcement
of our land use rights, entitlements under our permits and other statutory and contractual rights and interests.
Risks
Related to Our Common Stock
An
active trading market for our common stock may not develop.
There
has been no active public market for our common stock, and we cannot assure you that a liquid public market for our common stock
will develop. If an active public market for our common stock does not develop, the market price and liquidity of our common stock
may be materially and adversely affected. We can provide no assurance that the trading price of our common stock will not decline.
As a result, investors in our securities may experience a significant decrease in the value of their common stock.
The
trading price of our common stock is likely to be volatile, which could result in substantial losses to investors.
The
trading price of our common stock is likely to be volatile and could fluctuate widely due to factors beyond our control. This
may happen because of broad market and industry factors, including the performance and fluctuation of the market prices of other
companies with business operations located mainly in China that have listed their securities in the United States. In addition
to market and industry factors, the price and trading volume for our common stock may be highly volatile for factors specific
to our own operations, including the following:
● | variations in our revenues, earnings and cash flow; |
|
● | announcements of new investments, acquisitions, strategic partnerships or joint ventures by us or our competitors; |
|
● | announcements of new offerings, solutions and expansions by us or our competitors; |
|
● | detrimental adverse publicity about us, our brand, our services or our industry; |
|
● | additions or departures of key personnel; and |
|
● | potential litigation or regulatory investigations. |
Any
of these factors may result in large and sudden changes in the volume and price at which our common stock will trade.
In
the past, shareholders of public companies have often brought securities class action suits against those companies following
periods of instability in the market price of their securities. If we were involved in a class action suit, it could divert a
significant amount of our management’s attention and other resources from our business and operations and require us to
incur significant expenses to defend the suit, which could harm our results of operations. Any such class action suit, whether
or not successful, could harm our reputation and restrict our ability to raise capital in the future. In addition, if a claim
is successfully made against us, we may be required to pay significant damages, which could have a material adverse effect on
our financial condition and results of operations.
Short
sellers of our stock may be manipulative and may drive down the market price of our common stock.
Short
selling is the practice of selling securities that the seller does not own but rather has borrowed or intends to borrow from a
third party with the intention of buying identical securities at a later date to return to the lender. A short seller hopes to
profit from a decline in the value of the securities between the sale of the borrowed securities and the purchase of the replacement
shares, as the short seller expects to pay less in that purchase than it received in the sale. As it is therefore in the short
seller’s interest for the price of the stock to decline, some short sellers publish, or arrange for the publication of,
opinions or characterizations regarding the relevant issuer, its business prospects and similar matters calculated to or which
may create negative market momentum, which may permit them to obtain profits for themselves as a result of selling the stock short.
Issuers whose securities have historically had limited trading volumes and/or have been susceptible to relatively high volatility
levels can be particularly vulnerable to such short seller attacks.
The
publication of any such commentary regarding us by a short seller may bring about a temporary, or possibly long term, decline
in the market price of our common stock. No assurances can be made that we will not become a target of such commentary and declines
in the market price of our common stock will not occur in the future, in connection with such commentary by short sellers or otherwise
Shares
eligible for future sale may adversely affect the market price of our common stock, as the future sale of a substantial amount
of outstanding common stock in the public marketplace could reduce the price of our common stock.
The
market price of our shares could decline as a result of sales of substantial amounts of our shares in the public market, or the
perception that these sales could occur. In addition, these factors could make it more difficult for us to raise funds through
future offerings of our common stock.
If
we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or
prevent fraud.
The
SEC, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, adopted rules requiring every public company to include a management
report on such company’s internal controls over financial reporting in its annual report, which contains management’s
assessment of the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting.
Our
reporting obligations as a public company place a significant strain on our management and operational and financial resources
and systems. Effective internal controls, particularly those related to revenue recognition, are necessary for us to produce reliable
financial reports and are important to prevent fraud. As a result, our failure to achieve and maintain effective internal controls
over financial reporting may result in the loss of investor confidence in the reliability of our financial statements, which in
turn may harm our business and negatively impact the trading price of our stock. Furthermore, we anticipate that we will continue
to incur considerable costs and use significant management time and other resources in an effort to comply with Section 404 and
other requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
Our
majority stockholder may have significant influence over the outcome of matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, which
may prevent us from engaging in certain transactions.
As
of the date of this filing, Mr. Guange Cai, our Chairman, beneficially owns 21.5% of our outstanding common stock through
his indirect ownership of our two majority shareholders. As a result, this majority stockholder may exercise significant influence
over all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the appointment of our directors and the approval of significant corporate
transactions. This ownership and control may also have the effect of delaying or preventing a future change in control, impeding
a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business combination that may be in the best interest of the Company. Mr. Cai is the
father of Ms. Jiaying Cai, our secretary and a director.
There
is a limited market for our common stock, which may make it difficult for holders of our common stock to sell their stock.
Our
common stock currently trades on the OTC Pink Markets under the symbol “WETH” and currently there is minimal trading
in our common stock. Accordingly, there can be no assurance as to the liquidity of any markets that may develop for our common
stock, the ability of holders of our common stock to sell our common stock, or the prices at which holders may be able to sell
our common stock. Further, many brokerage firms will not process transactions involving low price stocks, especially those that
come within the definition of a “penny stock.” If we cease to be quoted, holders of our common stock may find it more
difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of our common stock, and the market value of
our common stock would likely decline.
We
are subject to the penny stock rules which will make shares of our common stock more difficult to sell.
We
are currently subject to the SEC’s “penny stock” rules as our shares of common stock sell below $5.00 per share. Penny
stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00. The penny stock rules require broker-dealers to deliver
a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level
of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer must also provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for
the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson, and monthly account statements showing the market
value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson
compensation information must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to completing the transaction and must be given
to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation.
In
addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction, the broker dealer must make a special written determination
that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. The
penny stock rules are burdensome and may reduce purchases of any offerings and reduce the trading activity for shares of our common
stock. As long as our shares of common stock are subject to the penny stock rules, the holders of such shares of common stock
may find it more difficult to sell their securities.
If
we become directly subject to the scrutiny, criticism and negative publicity involving U.S. listed Chinese companies, we may have
to expend significant resources to investigate and resolve the matter which could harm our business, operations and reputations,
which could result in a loss of your investment in our common stock.
U.S.
public companies that have substantially all of their operations in China, have been the subject of intense scrutiny, criticism
and negative publicity by investors, financial commentators and regulatory agencies, such as the SEC. Much of the scrutiny, criticism
and negative publicity has centered around financial and accounting irregularities, a lack of effective internal controls over
financial accounting, inadequate corporate governance policies or a lack of adherence thereto and, in some cases, allegations
of fraud. As a result of the scrutiny, criticism and negative publicity, the publicly traded stock of many U.S. listed Chinese
companies has sharply decreased in value and, in some cases, has become virtually worthless. Many of these companies are now subject
to shareholder lawsuits and SEC enforcement actions and are conducting internal and external investigations into the allegations.
It is not clear what effect this sector-wide scrutiny, criticism and negative publicity will have on our business. If we become
the subject of any unfavorable allegations, whether such allegations are proven to be true or untrue, we will have to expend significant
resources to investigate such allegations and/or defend the Company. This situation may be a major distraction to our management.
If such allegations are not proven to be groundless, our company and business operations will be severely hampered and your investment
in our shares could be rendered worthless.
The
sale or availability for sale of substantial amounts of our common stock could adversely affect their market price.
Sales
of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market after the filing of this Form 10, or the perception that these
sales could occur, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock and could materially impair our ability to raise
capital through equity offerings in the future. Shares held by our existing shareholders may be sold in the public market in the
future subject to the restrictions in Rule 144 and Rule 701 under the Securities. We currently have 31,396,394 shares
of common stock outstanding. We cannot predict what effect, if any, market sales of securities held by our significant shareholders
or any other shareholder or the availability of these securities for future sale will have on the market price of our common stock.
Because
we do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future after the filing of this Form 10, you must rely on a price appreciation
of our common stock for return on your investment.
We
currently intend to retain most, if not all, of our available funds and any future earnings to fund the development and growth
of our business. As a result, we do not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Therefore, you should not
rely on an investment in our common stock as a source for any future dividend income.
Our
board of directors has complete discretion as to whether to distribute dividends., Even if our board of directors decides to declare
and pay dividends, the timing, amount and form of future dividends, if any, will depend on our future results of operations and
cash flow, our capital requirements and surplus, the amount of distributions, if any, received by us from our subsidiaries, our
financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors. Accordingly, the return
on your investment in our common stock will likely depend entirely upon any future price appreciation of our common stock. There
is no guarantee that our common stock will appreciate in value after the filing of this Form 10, or even maintain the price at
which you purchased the common stock. You may not realize a return on your investment in our common stock and you may even lose
your entire investment in our common stock.
If
relations between the United States and China worsen, our stock price may decrease and we may have difficulty accessing the U.S.
capital markets.
At
various times during recent years, the United States and China have had disagreements over political and economic issues. Controversies
may arise in the future between these two countries. Any political or trade conflicts between the United States and China could
adversely affect the market price of our common stock and our ability to access U.S. capital markets.
Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
We
make forward-looking statements in this report, in other materials we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)
or otherwise release to the public, and on our website. In addition, our senior management might make forward-looking statements
orally to analysts, investors, the media and others. Statements concerning our future operations, prospects, strategies, financial
condition, future economic performance (including growth and earnings) and demand for our products and services, and other statements
of our plans, beliefs, or expectations, including the statements contained in this Item 2 “Management’s Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation,” regarding our future plans, strategies and expectations are
forward-looking statements. In some cases, these statements are identifiable through the use of words such as “anticipate,”
“believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,”
“target,” “can,” “could,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would”
and similar expressions. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions contained in Section
27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and in Section 21E of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking
statements because these forward-looking statements we make are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to various
assumptions, risks, and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by these forward-looking
statements. Thus, our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors
which could have a material adverse effect on our operations and future prospects include, but are not limited to, changes in:
economic conditions generally and the automotive modified plastics market specifically, legislative or regulatory changes that
affect our business, including changes in regulation, the availability of working capital, the introduction of competing products,
and other risk factors described herein. These risks and uncertainties, together with the other risks described from time-to-time
in reports and documents that we filed with the SEC should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance
should not be placed on such statements. Indeed, it is likely that some of our assumptions will prove to be incorrect. Our actual
results and financial position will vary from those projected or implied in the forward-looking statements and the variances may
be material. We expressly disclaim any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
The
forward-looking statements are not historical facts, but rather are based on current expectations, estimates, assumptions and
projections about our industry, business and future financial results. The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date
on which they are made, and, except to the extent required by federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to update any
forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statements are made or to reflect the
occurrence of unanticipated events. Our actual results could differ materially from the results contemplated by these forward-looking
statements due to a number of factors, including those discussed under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and other sections
in this Form 10.
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 Wetouch Holding Group Limited, a British Virgin Islands (“BVI”)
company incorporated on August 14, 2020 under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (“BVI Wetouch”), and all the
shareholders of BVI Wetouch (each a “Shareholder” and collectively the “Shareholders”), to acquire all
the issued and outstanding capital stock of BVI Wetouch in exchange for the issuance to the 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.
Through
our wholly-owned subsidiaries, Wetouch Holding Group Limited (“BVI Wetouch”), Hong Kong Wetouch Electronics Technology
Limited (“Hong Kong Wetouch”) and Sichuan Wetouch Technology Co. Ltd. (“Sichuan Wetouch”), we are engaged
in the research, development, manufacturing, sales and servicing of medium to large sized projected capacitive touchscreens. 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, industrial
human-machine interface designed for industrial applications (“HMI”), point of sale (“POS”), gaming, lottery,
medical, human-machine interface, 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, point of sale 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 HK Wetouch and Sichuan Wetouch for the three months periods ended June 30, 2020
and 2019, the six months period ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 and the twelve months periods ended December 30, 2019
and 2018.
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. 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, 2020, revenue from domestic market decreased by $4.2 million or 56.5% as
a combined result of: (i) a decrease of 58.9% in sales volume, and partially offset by (ii) an increase of 6.0% in the average
selling price of our products, as compared with those of last year.
As
for the RMB selling price, the increase of 6.0% was mainly due to the increased
sales of new models of higher-end products of such as touchscreens used in gaming machine with higher selling price in
domestic market during the three-month period ended June 30, 2020.
The
weakening in macroeconomic conditions since the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic in January 2020 continued to exacerbate touch screen
business environment. The Company’s business was negatively impacted and has generated lower revenues during the period
from February to April 2020. We had sales decrease in every geographic regions of China, including 100% in North China, 84.4%
in South China, 42.6% in East China, 21.3% in Southwest China.

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

income tax rate decreased from 15.4% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2019 to 14.9% for the three-month period ended
June 30, 2020, primarily due to the lower gross profits and lower income before taxes generated for the three-month period ended

Our
PRC subsidiary Sichuan Wetouch had $19.2 million of cash and cash equivalents of June 30, 2020, which are planned to be indefinitely
reinvested in PRC. The distributions from our PRC subsidiary are subject to the U.S. federal income tax at 21%, less any applicable
foreign tax credits. Due to our policy of indefinitely reinvesting our earnings in our PRC business, we have not provided for
deferred income tax liabilities related to PRC withholding income tax on undistributed earnings of our PRC subsidiaries.

(i)
Domestic market
For
the six-month period ended June 30, 2020, revenue from domestic market decreased by $6.2
million or 52.9%, as a combined result of (i) a decrease of 57.5% in sales volume, and partially offset by (ii) an increase of
11.4% in the average selling price of our products, as compared with those of last year.
The
weakening in macroeconomic conditions since the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic in January 2020 continued to exacerbate touch screen
business environment. The Company’s business was negatively impacted and has generated lower revenue during the period from
February to April 2020. We had decrease in sales
by 82.4% in South China, 61.6% in North China, 47.2% in Northwest China, 33.5% in East China, and 18.6% in Southwest China for
the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the same period of 2019.
As
for the RMB selling price, the increase of 10.1% was mainly due to the increased
sales of new models of higher-end products of touchscreens used in gaming machine and ticket vending machine with higher selling
price in domestic market during the six-month period ended June 30, 2020.
(ii)
Overseas market
For
the six-month period ended June 30, 2020, revenues from overseas market was $3.3 million as compared to and $6.3 million of the
same period of 2019. Our product sales were negatively impacted due to the global COVID-19 outbreak, leading to decrease by 46.6%
in sales volume and 3.6% in average selling price.

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

The
effective income tax rates for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 were 15.0% and 17.0%, respectively. The effective
income tax rate decreased from 17.0% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2019 to 15.0% for the six-month period ended June
30, 2020, primarily due to the decreased income before income taxes resulting from the COVID-19 negative impact. The effective
income tax rate for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 differs from the PRC statutory income tax rate of 25% primarily due
to Sichuan Wetouch’s preferential income tax rate.
Our
PRC subsidiary Sichuan Wetouch had $19.2 million of cash and cash equivalents of June 30, 2020, which are planned to be indefinitely
reinvested in PRC. The distributions from our PRC subsidiary are subject to the U.S. federal income tax at 21%, less any applicable
foreign tax credits. Due to our policy of indefinitely reinvesting our earnings in our PRC business, we have not provided for
deferred income tax liabilities related to PRC withholding income tax on undistributed earnings of our PRC subsidiaries.
Net
Income
As
a result of the above factors, we had a net income of $3.3 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 compared to net
income of $5.7 million in the same period of 2019.
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.
The
following table sets forth a summary of our cash flows for the periods indicated.

Net
cash provided by operating activities was $5.6 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020, as compared to $4,2 million
provided by operating activities for the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, primarily due to (i) the decrease of $5.1 million
of accounts receivable due to the collection as a result of the negative impact of COVID-19 for the six-month period ended June
30, 2020, partially offset by (ii) the decrease of $2.5 million net income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 as compared
to the same period of 2019, (iii) the increase of $0.6 million due to related parties, (iv) the decrease of $0.4 million accrued
expenses and other current liabilities and (v) the decrease of $0.4 million of income tax payable due to the decreased taxable
income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020.
Investing
Activities
There
were no investing activities for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.
Financing
Activities
Net
cash used in the financing activities was $0.4 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020, as compared to nil for the
same period of last year, primarily as a result of $0.4 million of repayments of bank borrowings during the six-month period ended
June, 30, 2020.
As
of June 30, 2020, our cash and cash equivalents was $19.2 million, as compared to $14.3 million at December 31, 2019.
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.
The
majority of the Company’s revenues and expenses were denominated primarily in Renminbi (“RMB”), the currency
of the People’s Republic of China. 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.

Effective income tax rate | 16.5 | % | 15.1 | % | – | 1.4 | % |
The
effective income tax rate in 2019 and 2018 was 16.5% and 15.1%, respectively.
The
increase of effective income tax rate in 2019 was primarily due to the increased non-deductible expense in Sichuan Wetouch. The
effective income tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2019 differs from the PRC statutory income tax rate of 25% primarily
due to Sichuan Wetouch’s preferential income tax rate.
Our
PRC subsidiary Sichuan Wetouch had $14.3 million of cash and cash equivalents of December 31, 2019, which are planned to be indefinitely
reinvested in PRC. The distributions from our PRC subsidiary are subject to the U.S. federal income tax at 21%, less any applicable
foreign tax credits. Due to our policy of indefinitely reinvesting our earnings in our PRC business, we have not provided for
deferred income tax liabilities related to PRC withholding income tax on undistributed earnings of our PRC subsidiaries.
Net
Income
As
a result of the above factors, we had a net income of $13.7 million in 2019, as compared to $11.8 million in 2018.

COMMITMENTS
AND CONTINGENCIES
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
For
the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company and Mr. Guangde Cai had provided guarantees for seven different loans
for parties related to the Company and Mr. Cai.
As
of October 9, 2020, the Company and Mr. Guangde Cai have been unconditionally and fully released from all such guarantees. Please
refer to Item 13- Financial Statements- Note 12 to the December 31, 2019 (audited) financial statements.
Critical
Accounting Policies
An
accounting policy is considered critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that
are highly uncertain at the time such estimate is made, and if different accounting estimates that reasonably could have been
used, or changes in the accounting estimates that are reasonably likely to occur periodically, could materially impact the consolidated
financial statements.
We
prepare our financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which requires us to make judgments, estimates and assumptions.
We continually evaluate these estimates and assumptions based on the most recently available information, our own historical experiences
and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Since the use of estimates is an integral
component of the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from our expectations as a result of changes in our
estimates. Some of our accounting policies require a higher degree of judgment than others in their application and require us
to make significant accounting estimates.
The
following descriptions of critical accounting policies, judgments and estimates should be read in conjunction with our consolidated
financial statements and accompanying notes and other disclosures included in this registration statement. When reviewing
our financial statements, you should consider (i) our selection of critical accounting policies, (ii) the judgments and other
uncertainties affecting the application of such policies and (iii) the sensitivity of reported results to changes in conditions
and assumptions.
Revenue
recognition
The
Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606 using the modified retrospective approach. The adoption
of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Therefore, no adjustments
to opening retained earnings were necessary.
ASC
606, Revenue from Contracts with customers, establishes principles for reporting information about the nature, amount, timing
and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity’s contracts to provide goods or services to customers.
The core principle requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount
that reflects the consideration that it expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services recognized as
performance obligations are satisfied.
ASC
606 requires the use of a five-step model to recognize revenue from customer contracts. The five-step model requires that the
Company (i) identify the contract with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine
the transaction price, including variable consideration to the extent that it is probable that a significant future reversal will
not occur, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the respective performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue
when (or as) the Company satisfies the performance obligation. The application of the five-step model to the revenue streams compared
to the prior guidance did not result in significant changes in the way the Company records its revenue. The Company has assessed
the impact of the guidance by reviewing its existing customer contracts and current accounting policies and practices to identify
differences that would result from applying the new requirements, including the evaluation of its performance obligations, transaction
price, customer payments, transfer of control and principal versus agent considerations. Based on the assessment, the Company
concluded that there was no change to the timing and pattern of revenue recognition for its current revenue streams.
In
accordance to ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue when it transfers its goods and services to customers in an amount that
reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in such exchange. The Company accounts for the revenue
generated from sales of its products primarily to its customers in PRC and overseas, as the Company is acting as a principal in
these transactions, is subject to inventory risk, has latitude in establishing prices, and is responsible for fulfilling the promise
to provide customers the specified goods, which the Company has control of the goods and has the ability to direct the use of
goods to obtain substantially all the benefits. All of the Company’s contracts have one single performance obligation as
the promise is to transfer the individual goods to customers, and there is no separately identifiable other promises in the contracts.
The Company’s revenue streams are recognized at a point in time when title and risk of loss passes and the customer accepts
the goods, which generally occurs at delivery. The Company’s products are sold with no right of return and the Company does
not provide other credits or sales incentive to customers. The Company’s sales are net of value added tax (“VAT”)
and business tax and surcharges collected on behalf of tax authorities in respect of product sales.
Contract
Assets and Liabilities
Payment
terms are established on the Company’s pre-established credit requirements based upon an evaluation of customers’
credit quality. Contract assets are recognized for in related accounts receivable. Contract liabilities are recognized for contracts
where payment has been received in advance of delivery. The contract liability balance can vary significantly depending on the
timing when an order is placed and when shipment or delivery occurs. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, other than accounts receivable
and advances from customers, the Company had no other material contract assets, contract liabilities or deferred contract costs
recorded on its consolidated balance sheet. Costs of fulfilling customers’ purchase orders, such as shipping, handling and
delivery, which occur prior to the transfer of control, are recognized in selling, general and administrative expense when incurred.
Disaggregation
of Revenues
The
Company disaggregates its revenue from contracts by geography, as the Company believes it best depicts how the nature, amount,
timing and uncertainty of the revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. The Company’s disaggregation of revenues
for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 are disclosed in Note 13 to the financial statements.
Use
of estimates
In
preparing the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America (“US GAAP”), management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts
of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are based on information as of the date of the consolidated
financial statements. Significant estimates required to be made by management include, but are not limited to, the allowance for
estimated uncollectible receivables, inventory valuations, useful lives of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, the
recoverability of long-lived assets, provision necessary for contingent liabilities, revenue recognition and realization of deferred
tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Inventories
Inventory
consists of raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods and is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost
is determined using a weighted average. For work-in-process and manufactured inventories, cost consists of raw materials, direct
labor and an allocated portion of the Company’s production overhead. The Company writes down excess and obsolete inventory
to its estimated net realizable value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. For finished goods and
work-in-process, if the estimated net realizable value for an inventory item, which is the estimated selling price in the ordinary
course of business, less reasonably predicable costs to completion and disposal, is lower than its cost, the specific inventory
item is written down to its estimated net realizable value. Net realizable value for raw materials is based on replacement cost.
Provisions for inventory write-downs are included in the cost of revenues in the consolidated statements of operations. Inventories
are carried at this lower cost basis until sold or scrapped. No inventory reserve was recorded for the years ended December 31,
2019 and 2018, respectively.
Income
taxes
The
Company accounts for current income taxes in accordance with the laws of the relevant tax authorities. Deferred income taxes are
recognized when temporary differences exist between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the
consolidated financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply
to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred
tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period including the enactment date. Valuation
allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
An
uncertain tax position is recognized only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained
in a tax examination. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized
on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. Penalties
and interest incurred related to underpayment of income tax are classified as income tax expense in the period incurred. No significant
penalties or interest relating to income taxes have been incurred during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. The Company
does not believe there was any uncertain tax provision at December 31, 2019 and 2018.
The
Company’s operating subsidiary in China is subject to the income tax laws of the PRC. No significant income was generated
outside the PRC for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. As of December 31, 2019, all of the Company’s tax
returns of its PRC Subsidiary remain open for statutory examination by PRC tax authorities.
Property,
plant and equipment, net
Property,
plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization of property
and equipment is provided using the straight-line method over their expected useful lives, as follows:
Useful life | ||
Buildings | 20 years | |
Machinery and equipment | 10 years | |
Office and electric equipment | 3 years |
Expenditures
for maintenance and repairs, which do not materially extend the useful lives of the assets, are charged to expense as incurred.
Expenditures for major renewals and betterments which substantially extend the useful life of assets are capitalized. The cost
and related accumulated depreciation of assets retired or sold are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss
is recognized in the consolidated statements of income and other comprehensive income in other income or expenses.
Intangible
assets, net
The
Company’s intangible assets primarily includes land use rights and patent right. A land use right in the PRC represents
an exclusive right to occupy, use and develop a piece of land during the contractual term of the land use right. The cost of a
land use right is usually paid in one lump sum at the date the right is granted. The prepayment usually covers the entire period
of the land use right. The lump sum advance payment is capitalized and recorded as land use right and then charged to expense
on a straight-line basis over the period of the right, which is normally 50 years.
Patents
are recognized at cost of acquisition. They have a finite life and are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and any
impairment losses.
Useful life |
||
Land use right |
50 years |
|
Patents | 10 years |
Impairment
of long-lived Assets
Long-lived
assets, such as property, plant and equipment, land use rights, are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of a long-lived asset or asset group to
be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset or asset group to the estimated undiscounted future
cash flows expected to be generated by the asset or asset group. If the carrying value of an asset or asset group exceeds its
estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount that the carrying value exceeds the
estimated fair value of the asset or asset group. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques including discounted
cash flow models, quoted market values and third party independent appraisals, as considered necessary. Assets to be disposed
are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated. No impairment of
long-lived assets was recognized for any of the years presented.
Comprehensive
income
Comprehensive
income (loss) consists of two components, net income and other comprehensive income (loss). The foreign currency translation gain
or loss resulting from translation of the financial statements expressed in RMB to US$ is reported in other comprehensive income
(loss) in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.
Recently
issued accounting guidance
The
Company considers the applicability and impact of all accounting standards updates (“ASUs”). Management periodically
reviews new accounting standards that are issued.
In
June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), which introduces new guidance
for the accounting for credit losses on instruments within its scope. The new guidance introduces an approach based on expected
losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments. It also modifies the impairment model for available-for-sale
(AFS) debt securities and provides for a simplified accounting model for purchased financial assets with credit deterioration
since their origination. The pronouncement will be effective for public business entities that are SEC filers in fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application of the guidance will
be permitted for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal
years. The Company does not anticipate the guidance will have a material impact on its financial statements.
In
December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes”.
The amendment simplifies the accounting for income taxes by eliminating some exceptions to the general approach in ASC 740,
Income Taxes. It also clarifies certain aspects of the existing guidance to promote more consistent application, among other things.
The guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning within 2021 with early adoption permitted.
From
time to time, the FASB or other standards setting bodies issue new accounting pronouncements. Updates to the FASB ASCs are communicated
through issuance of ASUs. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes that the recently issued guidance, whether adopted
or to be adopted in the future, is not expected to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
Quantitative
and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks
Interest
Rate Risk
Our
exposure to interest rate risk primarily relates to the interest income generated by excess cash, which is mostly held in interest-bearing
bank deposits. Interest-earning instruments carry a degree of interest rate risk. We have not been exposed to material risks due
to changes in interest rates, and we have not used any derivative financial instruments to manage our interest risk exposure.
Foreign
Currency Exchange Rates
The
some of our revenues are collected in and our expenses are paid in RMB. We face foreign currency rate translation risks when our
results are translated to U.S. dollars.
The
RMB was relatively stable against the U.S. dollar at approximately 8.28 RMB to the US$1.00 until July 21, 2005 when the Chinese
currency regime was altered resulting in a 2.1% revaluation versus the U.S. dollar. From July 21, 2005 to September 30, 2010,
the RMB exchange rate was no longer linked to the U.S. dollar but rather to a basket of currencies with a 0.3% margin of fluctuation
resulting in further appreciation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar. Since September 30, 2009, the exchange rate had remained
stable at 6.8307 RMB to 1.00 U.S. dollar until September 30, 2010 when the People’s Bank of China allowed a further appreciation
of the RMB by 0.43% to 6.798 RMB to 1.00 U.S. dollar. The People’s Bank of China allowed the RMB and U.S. dollar exchange
rate to fluctuate within 1% on April 16, 2012 and 2% on March 17, 2014, respectively. On June 30, 2020, the RMB traded at 7.0651
RMB to 1.00 U.S. dollar.
There
remains international pressure on the Chinese government to adopt an even more flexible currency policy and the exchange rate
of RMB is subject to changes in China’s government policies which are, to a large extent, dependent on the economic and
political development both internationally and locally and the demand and supply of RMB in the domestic market. There can be no
assurance that such exchange rate will continue to remain stable in the future amongst the volatility of currencies, globalization
and the unstable economies in recent years. Since (i) our revenues and net income of our PRC operating entities are denominated
in RMB, and (ii) the payment of dividends, if any, will be in U.S. dollars, any decrease in the value of RMB against U.S. dollars
would adversely affect the value of the shares and dividends payable to shareholders, in U.S. dollars.
Inflation
To
date, inflation in China has not materially affected our results of operations. According to the National Bureau of Statistics
of China, the year-over-year percent changes in the consumer price index for December 2019, 2018 and 2017 were increases of 2.9%,
2.1% and 1.6%, respectively. Although we have not been materially affected by inflation in the past, we may be affected if China
experiences higher rates of inflation in the future.
We
own approximately nine separate buildings covering a total area of approximately 735,745 square feet at No.29, Third Main Avenue,
Shigao Town, Renshou County, Meishan City, Sichuan, China (previously known as 22 Xingan Ave., Section 2, Shigao Town, Sichuan,
China) where we maintain our executive offices, research and development facilities, factories and other facilities. We believe
that this property is sufficient for our current and proposed business.

Review,
Approval and Ratification of Related Party Transactions
Given
our small size and limited financial resources, we have not adopted formal policies and procedures for the review, approval or
ratification of transactions, such as those described above, with our executive officer(s), Director(s) and significant stockholders.
We intend to establish formal policies and procedures in the future, once we have sufficient resources and have appointed additional
Directors, so that such transactions will be subject to the review, approval or ratification of our Board of Directors, or an
appropriate committee thereof. On a moving forward basis, our Directors will continue to approve any related party transaction.
Director
Independence
Our
board of directors is currently composed of two members, neither of whom qualify as independent directors in accordance with the
published listing requirements of the NASDAQ Global Market. The NASDAQ independence definition includes a series of objective
tests, such as that the director is not, and has not been for at least three years, one of our employees and that neither the
director, nor any of his family members has engaged in various types of business dealings with us. In addition, our board of directors
has not made a subjective determination as to each director that no relationships exist which, in the opinion of our board of
directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director, though
such subjective determination is required by the NASDAQ rules. Had our board of directors made these determinations, our board
of directors would have reviewed and discussed information provided by the directors and us with regard to each director’s
business and personal activities and relationships as they may relate to us and our management.
We
know of no material, active, pending or threatened proceeding against us or our subsidiaries, nor are we, or any subsidiary, involved
as a plaintiff or defendant in any material proceeding or pending litigation.
From time to time, the Company and its
affiliates are parties to various legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. Although Sichuan Wetouch, Hong Kong
Wetouch and Mr. Guangde Cai were named as defendants in several litigation matters, as of the date of this disclosure, all
such matters have been settled and Sichuan Wetouch, Hong Kong Wetouch and our Chairman Mr. Guangde Cai were unconditionally and
fully discharged and released therefrom. See “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence”.
Accordingly, there are no pending material legal proceedings against the Company or Mr. Cai.
ITEM
9. MARKET PRICE OF AND DIVIDENDS ON THE REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS.
Our
common stock is currently quoted on the OTC Pink under the trading symbol “WETH”. Trading in stocks quoted on the
OTC Pink is often thin and is characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices due to many factors that may have little to
do with a company’s operations or business prospects. We cannot assure you that there will be a market for our common stock
in the future.
There
is not active trading market for our common stock.
As
of October 12, 2020, we had 31,396,394 shares of our Common Stock, par value $0.001, issued and outstanding. There were 160 record
holders of our Common Stock.
Penny
Stock Regulations
The
Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations which generally define “penny stock” to be an equity security
that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share. Our Common Stock is currently within the definition of a penny stock and
will be subject to rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons
other than established customers and accredited investors (generally those with assets in excess of $1,000,000, or annual incomes
exceeding $200,000 individually, or $300,000, together with their spouse).
For
transactions covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of such
securities and have received the purchaser’s prior written consent to the transaction. Additionally, for any transaction,
other than exempt transactions, involving a penny stock, the rules require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a risk disclosure
document mandated by the SEC relating to the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable
to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and, if the broker-dealer is
the sole market-maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer’s presumed control over the market.
Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information
on the limited market in penny stocks. Consequently, the “penny stock” rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealers
to sell our Common Stock and may affect the ability of investors to sell their Common Stock in the secondary market.
In
addition to the “penny stock” rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Financial Industry
Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a
broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending
speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain
information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations
of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for
at least some customers. The FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy
our Common Stock, which may limit the investors’ ability to buy and sell our stock.
Dividend
Policy
We
have not paid any cash dividends since our inception. Any future determination as to the declaration and payment of dividends
on shares of our Common Stock will be made at the discretion of our board of directors out of funds legally available for such
purpose. We are under no contractual obligations or restrictions to declare or pay dividends on our shares of Common Stock. In
addition, we currently have no plans to pay such dividends. Our board of directors currently intends to retain all earnings for
use in the business for the foreseeable future.
Equity
Compensation Plan Information
Currently,
there is no equity compensation plan in place.
Purchases
of Equity Securities by the Registrant and Affiliated Purchaser
We
have not repurchased any shares of our common stock during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2019, or 2018, respectively.

(the “Act”)) and they acquired our shares in the Reverse Merger outside of the United States. In issuing the 28,000,000

Act pursuant to Regulation S promulgated thereunder since, among other things, the offer or sale was made in an offshore transaction
and no directed selling efforts were made in the United States by the issuer, a distributor, any of their respective affiliates,
or any person acting on behalf of any of the foregoing. In addition, each recipient of the shares certified that she/he/it is
not a U.S. person and is not acquiring the securities for the account or benefit of any U.S. person and agreed to resell such
securities only in accordance with the provisions of Regulation S, pursuant to registration under the Act, or pursuant to an available
exemption from registration; and agreed not to engage in hedging transactions with regard to such securities unless in compliance
with the Act.
ITEM
11. DESCRIPTION OF REGISTRANT’S SECURITIES TO BE REGISTERED.
Common
Stock
This
Form 10 relates to our common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”). We are authorized to issue 300,000,000
shares of Common Stock. As of the date of this Report, there were 31,396,394 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding.
The
holders of our Common Stock have equal ratable rights to dividends from funds legally available therefore, when, as and if declared
by our board of directors. Holders of Common Stock are also entitled to share ratably in all of our assets available for distribution
to holders of Common Stock upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs.
The
holders of shares of our Common Stock do not have cumulative voting rights, which means that the holders of more than 50% of such
outstanding shares, voting for the election of directors, can elect all of the directors to be elected, if they so choose, and
in such event, the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any of our directors. The holders of 50% percent
of the outstanding Common Stock constitute a quorum at any meeting of shareholders, and the vote by the holders of a majority
of the outstanding shares or a majority of the shareholders at a meeting at which quorum exists are required to effect certain
fundamental corporate changes, such as liquidation, merger or amendment of our articles of incorporation.
Voting
Rights
Except
as otherwise required by law or as may be provided by the resolutions of the Board of Directors authorizing the issuance of common
stock, all rights to vote and all voting power shall be vested in the holders of common stock. Each share of common stock shall
entitle the holder thereof to one vote.
No
Cumulative Voting
Except
as may be provided by the resolutions of the Board of Directors authorizing the issuance of common stock, cumulative voting by
any shareholder is expressly denied.
Rights
upon Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding-Up of the Company
Upon
any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, the remaining net assets of the
Company shall be distributed pro rata to the holders of the common stock.
We
refer you to our Articles of Incorporation, any amendments thereto, Bylaws, and the applicable provisions of the Nevada Revised
Statutes for a more complete description of the rights and liabilities of holders of our securities.
ITEM
12. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Under
our Bylaws, every person who was or is a party to, or is threatened to be made a party to, or is involved in any action, suit,
or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, by reason of the fact that he, or a person of whom he
is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company
as a director or officer of another corporation, or as its representative in a partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise,
shall be indemnified and held harmless to the fullest extent legally permissible under the laws of the State of Nevada from time
to time against all expenses, liability, and loss (including attorneys’ fees judgments, fines, and amounts paid or to be
paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by him in connection therewith. Such right of indemnification shall be a contract
right, which may be enforced in any manner desired by such person. The expenses of officers and directors incurred in defending
a civil or criminal action, suit, or proceeding must be paid by the Company as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition
of the action, suit, or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay the amount
if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the company.
Such right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other right which such directors, officers, or representatives may
have or hereafter acquire, and, without limiting the generality of such statement, they shall be entitled to their respective
rights of indemnification under any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders, provision of law, or otherwise.
Without
limiting the application of the foregoing, the Board of Directors may adopt bylaws from time to time with respect to indemnification,
to provide at all times the fullest indemnification permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada, and may cause the Company to
purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director or officer of the Company, or is or was serving
at the request of the Company as a director or officer of another corporation, or as its representative in a partnership, joint
venture, trust, or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred in any such capacity or arising
out of such status, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify such person. The indemnification provided shall
continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee, or agent, and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs,
executors and administrators of such person.
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons
controlling the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Company has been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
We
have not entered into any agreements with our directors and executive officers that require us to indemnify these persons against
expenses, judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred (including expenses of a derivative
action) in connection with any proceeding, whether actual or threatened, to which any such person may be made a party by reason
of the fact that the person is or was a director or officer of our Company or any of our affiliated enterprises. We do not maintain
any policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance that insures its directors and officers against the cost
of defense, settlement or payment of a judgment under any circumstances.

Note
2 — BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted as permitted by rules and
regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The condensed consolidated balance sheet
as of December 31, 2019 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of HK Wetouch and its subsidiary Sichuan
Wetouch. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2019, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes
in equity and cash flows for the year then ended.
In
the opinion of the management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present a fair statement
of the financial position as of June 30, 2020, the results of operations and cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30,
2020 and 2019, have been made.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of condensed financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, as well as the related disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
On
an ongoing basis, management evaluates the Company’s estimates, including those related to the bad debt allowance, fair
values of financial instruments, intangible assets and property and equipment, income taxes, and contingent liabilities, among
others. The Company bases its estimates on assumptions, both historical and forward looking, that are believed to be reasonable,
the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities.
Significant
Accounting Policies
For
a detailed discussion about HK Wetouch’s significant accounting policies, refer to Note 2 — “Summary of Significant
Accounting Policies,” in HK Wetouch’ consolidated financial statements included in Company’s 2019 audited consolidated
financial statements. During the six-month periods ended June 30, 2020, there were no significant changes made to HK Wetouch’s
significant accounting policies.

5 — INCOME TAXES
Pursuant
to an approval from the local tax authority in October 2017, Sichuan Wetouch became a qualified enterprise located in the western
region of the PRC, which entitled it to a preferential income tax rate of 15% from October 11, 2017 to October 11, 2020.
The
effective income tax rates for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 were 15.0% and 17.0%, respectively. The effective
income tax rate for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 differs from the PRC statutory income tax rate of 25% primarily due
to Sichuan Wetouch’s preferential income tax rate.

8- RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
Credit
Risk – The carrying amount of accounts receivable included in the balance sheet represents the Company’s exposure
to credit risk in relation to its financial assets. 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 RMB500,000.
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.
Concentrations
– The Company sells its products primarily through direct customers in the PRC and to some extent, the overseas customers
in European countries and East Asia such as South Korea and Taiwan. Sales to customers individually exceeded 10% of the Company’s
revenues for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, are as follows:

9 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal
Proceedings
From
time to time, the Company is a party to various legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. 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. For the six-month periods ended June 30, 2020, the Company had
several legal claims or litigation that, individually or in aggregate, could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s
consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
i)
Legal case with Chengdu SME Credit Guarantee Co., Ltd. on a loan default penalty of RMB11.8 million (equivalent to $1.7 million)
On
July 5, 2013, Sichuan Wetouch obtained a one-year loan of RMB60.0 million (equivalent to $9.8million) from Bank of Chengdu, at
an annual interest rate of 8.61%. Chengdu SME Credit Guarantee Co., Ltd (“Chengdu SME”), a third party, provided a
70% guarantee and Bank of Chengdu retained 30% of the risk, while Chengdu Wetouch and Mr. Guangde Cai (related parties, see Note
4) provided joint and several liability guarantee for 100% of the loan.
On
July 31, 2014, Sichuan Wetouch repaid RMB5.0 million (equivalent to $0.8 million). The remaining loan of RMB55.0 million (equivalent
to $8.9 million) was twice extended to be due on August 22, 2018. Upon the loan becoming due, but unpaid by the Company, Chengdu
SME paid the outstanding balance of RMB55 million (equivalent to $8.0 million) to Bank of Chengdu. The Company subsequently repaid
RMB55 million (equivalent to $8.0 million) to Chengdu SME; however, Chengdu SME filed two separate lawsuits against the Company
to recover loan default penalties from the Company. The loan default penalties were (a) RMB5.8 million (equivalent to $0.8 million)
related to the 30% of the remaining loan balance repaid by Chengdu SME and (b) RMB6.0 million (equivalent to $0.9 million) related
to the 70% of the remaining loan balance repaid by Chengdu SME. During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company recorded
loan default penalties, and related liabilities, of $1.7 million.
Chengdu
SME applied to the Chengdu High-tech Court for enforcement for the above mentioned loan default penalties of RMB5.8 million (equivalent
to $0.8 million) and RMB6.0 million (equivalent to $0.9 million) on December 30, 2018. On March 12, 2020, the Enforcement Settlement
Agreement issued by the Chengdu High-tech Court confirmed that Sichuan Wetouch still owed RMB5.8 million (equivalent to $0.8 million)
and RMB6.0 million (equivalent to $0.9 million) of loan default penalties.
On
September 16, 2020, Sichuan Wetouch made a full repayment of RMB11.8 million (equivalent to US$1.7 million) of the above loan
default penalties to Chengdu SME.

, Sichuan Wetouch, and Hong Kong Wetouch demanding a full repayment of such debts.
To
support the local economic development as well as Chengdu Wetouch, two government-backed companies, Sichuan Renshou Shigao Tianfu
Investment Co., Ltd. (“Shigaotianfu Investment”) and Renshou Tengyi Landscaping Co., Ltd. (“Renshou Tenyi”)
provided their bank deposits of RMB 12.0 million (equivalent to US$1.7 million) as pledge, while Mr. Guangde Cai and Sichuan Wetouch
also provided counter-guarantee.
Upon
the expiration of the guarantee, Chengdu Wetouch still defaulted repayment of above pledge. As a result, CDHT Investment
levied this collateral of RMB12.0 million On November 21, 2019. Subsequently, Shigaotianfu Investment and Renshou Tengyi
filed with Chengdu Intermediate People’s Court a lawsuit demanding an asset recovery of RMB12.0 million (equivalent to
$1.7 million) pursuant to the counter guarantee agreement.
On
December 2, 2019, pursuant to the reconciling agreement issued by Chengdu Intermediate People’s Court, the parties
agreed to cancel the demand to seize property of Sichuan Wetouch rather than the property of Chengdu Wetouch, and to waive
freezing Guangde Cai’s 60% shareholding equity
in Xinjiang Wetouch.
