Basis of Presentation

The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring items, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations for the periods shown and are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2020. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

The Company's functional currency for Chongqing CAT9 is the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”); however, the accompanying financial statements have been translated and presented in the United States Dollars (“USD”).

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, CAT9 Cayman, and its subsidiaries, including CAT9 Investment China, Chongqing CAT9 Industrial Co., Ltd: Chongqing Yubei Branch Company of Chongqing CAT9 Industrial Co., Ltd; Chengdu First Branch Company of Chongqing CAT9 Industrial Co., Ltd; and Chengdu Second Branch Company of Chongqing CAT9 Industrial Co., Ltd.All financial information has been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Translation Adjustment

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the accounts of the Chongqing CAT9 were maintained, and its financial statements were expressed, in RMB.  Such financial statements were translated into USD in accordance with the Foreign Currency Matters Topic of the Codification (ASC 830), with the RMB as the functional currency.  According to the Codification, all assets and liabilities were translated at the current exchange rate at respective balance sheets dates, members’ capital are translated at the historical rates and income statement items are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under other comprehensive income in accordance with the Comprehensive Income Topic of the Codification (ASC 220), as a component of members’ capital.  Transaction gains and losses are reflected in the income statement.

Comprehensive Income

The Company uses SFAS 130 “Reporting Comprehensive Income” (ASC Topic 220).  Comprehensive income is comprised of net income and all changes to the statements of members’ capital, except those due to investments by members, changes in paid-in capital and distributions to members. Comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 is included net income and foreign currency translation adjustments.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates and judgments are based on historical information, information that is currently available to the Company and on various other assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology.

While these forward-looking statements, and any assumptions upon which they are based, are made in good faith and reflect our current judgment regarding the direction of our business, actual results will almost always vary, sometimes materially, from any estimates, predictions, projections, assumptions or other future performance suggested herein.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is intended to help the reader understand CAT9 Group, Inc., our operations and our present business environment. MD&A is provided as a supplement to—and should be read in conjunction with—our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the second quarter-ended June 30, 2020. The audited financial statements for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on Form 10-K on April 27, 2020 and Form 10-K/A May 11, 2020 should be read in conjunction with the discussion below. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements. In the opinion of management, all material adjustments necessary to present fairly the results of operations for such periods have been included in these unaudited financial statements. 

We were incorporated in the State of Delaware on January 26, 2015 and on February 6, 2015 as ANDES 4, Inc.; we filed our registration statement on Form 10 to register with the U.S Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as a public company. We were organized as a vehicle to explore and acquire a target company or business that sought to find value with perceived advantages of being a publicly held corporation.

On July 31, 2015, the sole officer of ANDES 4, Inc., entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) with Chongqing Field Industrial Company Ltd (“CQFI”) whereby the sole officer then resigned and sold his entire position on August 12, 2015. On May 2, 2016, the Company issued 6,000,000 shares of common stock to its President, CEO and Chairman, Wenfa “Simon” Sun and 4,000,000 shares of common stock to its CFO, Meihong “Sanya” Qian via employment agreements, further, on May 3, 2016, CQFI consented to a redemption of its 10,000,000 shares held in the Company, with the redemption, the control over the Company was transferred to Wenfa “Simon” Sun and Meihong “Sanya” Qian.

On December 27, 2016, the Company entered into a merger agreement (the “Merger”) via CAT9 Group, Inc., CAT9 Holdings, a company organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands, CAT9 Investment China Limited, a company organized under the laws of Hong Kong (“CAT9 HK”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Chongqing Field Industrial Company Ltd. (“CQFI”).

On December 26, 2017, the Company filed its Form S-1 with the SEC and became effective on April 4, 2018. The Company was issued the trading symbol “CATN” by Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) and began trading on the Over-the-Counter market pink venue, owned by OTC Markets Group Inc.

On December 7, 2018, our President, CEO and Chairman, Wenfa “Simon” Sun gifted 20,000,000 shares of his personal common stock in our Company to Guofu Industry Development Ltd in a private transaction fully disclosed on Form 13D. These shares represented approximately 19.6% of the shares in CAT9 Group, Inc.

On August 23, 2019, our President, CEO and Chairman, Wenfa “Simon” Sun acquired 10,000,000 shares of common stock held by our former CFO, Meihong “Sanya” Qian who resigned on May 14, 2019. The acquisition of these common shares was done as a privately negotiated transaction and post-purchase, Wenfa “Simon” Sun held 78.3% of CAT9 Group, Inc.

On April 7, 2020, the Company’s largest distributor of its products which it received 90% of its revenues doing business under the trade names Zhongjun Jilian (Shanghai) Tech Development Co., Ltd., Shanghai Hanan E-business Co., Lt., and Nanjing Hemu E-business Co., Ltd. ceased all operations. Due to this event, the Company has uncollectible accounts receivables in the amount of 3,299,612.55 RMB which it does not believe is recoverable.  

The result of this event will likely place a significant limitation on our sales and revenues for the near future as we seek new distributor relationships for our products.

We also continue to face uncertainty operating under the conditions of COVID-19, the novel coronavirus which began in Wuhan, China. During the first quarter of 2020, China placed several areas under mandatory quarantine which during this period our employees and staff worked from home. As China is slowly relaxing its quarantine measures, there has been additional quarantine lockdowns as COVID-19 infections have been found in other parts of the country. We cannot make any assurances that COVID-19 will not reappear with new infections and to the extent that COVID-19, or another virus appears, we may encounter prolonged operational lockdown measures that would disrupt our business operations.

Results of Operations

Three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019

Sales Revenue

Sales revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2020, was $227,423, compared to $1,655,995 for the three months ended June 30, 2019, a decrease of $1,428,572. We have experienced a significant decrease in revenue primarily due to the largest distributor of our products ceasing all operations.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold for the three months ended June 30, 2020, was $96,866, compared to $557,891 for the three months ended June 30, 2019, a decrease of $461,025 or 82.6%. The decrease in cost of goods is directly related to the decrease in sales.

Operating Expenses

Professional fees were $13,441 for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $14,374 for the three months ended June 30, 2019, a decrease of $933 or 6.5%. Professional fees consist mostly of legal and audit expense.

The decrease is the result of the overall decrease in operations including salaries and wages, rent, freight and marketing expense.

Other income/expenses

We had total other expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2020 of $11,665, compared to total other income of $272 for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The increase in other expense is due to an increase in asset impairment loss.

Net Loss

Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2020, was $265,568, compared to net income of $445,371 for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The change from net income in the prior period to a net loss in the current period is primarily due to our significant decrease in revenue as discussed above.

Sales Revenue

Sales revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2020, was $1,281,438, compared to $1,989,246 for the six months ended June 30, 2019, a decrease of $707,808. We have experienced a significant decrease in revenue primarily due to the largest distributor of our products ceasing all operations.

Other income/expenses

We had total other expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2020 of $24,299, compared to $416 for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase in other expense is due to an increase in asset impairment loss.

Net Loss

Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2020, was $541,864, compared to net income of $287,187 for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The change from net income in the prior period to a net loss in the current period is primarily due to our significant decrease in revenue as discussed above.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

None.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, June 30, 2020. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our company’s reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Based upon that evaluation, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of the end of the period covered by this report due to a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, which is described below.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Management has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. As a result of this assessment, management concluded that, as of June 30, 2020, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective. Our management identified the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, which are indicative of many small companies with small staff: (i) inadequate segregation of duties and effective risk assessment; and (ii) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of both US GAAP and SEC guidelines.

We plan to take steps to enhance and improve the design of our internal control over financial reporting. During the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, we have not been able to remediate the material weaknesses identified above. To remediate such weaknesses, we hope to implement the following changes during our fiscal year ending December 31, 2020: (i) appoint additional qualified personnel to address inadequate segregation of duties and ineffective risk management; and (ii) adopt sufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting. The remediation efforts set out in (i) and (ii) are largely dependent upon our securing additional financing to cover the costs of implementing the changes required. If we are unsuccessful in securing such funds, remediation efforts may be adversely affected in a material manner.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2020 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
