CHINA UNITED INSURANCE SERVICE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Amount in USD)

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

China United Insurance Service, Inc. (“China United” or “CUII”), the subsidiaries and variable-interest entity and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to herein, as the “Company”) primarily engage in insurance brokerage and insurance agency services. The Company markets and sells to customers, two broad categories of insurance products: life insurance products and property and casualty insurance products, both focused on meeting the particular insurance needs of individuals. The insurance products are underwritten by some of the leading insurance companies in Taiwan and China. The Company manages its business through aggregating them into three geographic operating segments, Taiwan, People’s Republic of China (“PRC”), and Hong Kong. The Company’s common stock currently trades over the counter under the ticker symbol “CUII” on the OTCQB.

The corporate structure as of March 31, 2023 is as follows:

There are no changes in the Company’s organization structure as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Please refer to the Company’s Note 1 in Item 8 of Part II, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data,” in 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information.

Table of Contents

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of China United, the subsidiaries and variable interest entity and its subsidiaries as shown in the corporate structure in Note 1. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company consolidates variable interest entities where it has been determined that the Company is the primary beneficiary of those entities’ operations.

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair statement of the financial statements have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2022, which were included in the Company’s 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K (“2022 Form 10-K”). The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022, has been derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of that date.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto. Actual results may differ from those estimates and assumptions.

Variable Interest Entities

The Company reviews the VIE’s status on an quarterly basis and determines if any events have occurred that could cause its primary beneficiary status to change, which include (a) the legal entity’s governing documents or contractual arrangements are changed in a manner that changes the characteristics or adequacy of the legal entity’s equity investment at risk; (b) the equity investment or some part thereof is returned to the equity investors, and other interests become exposed to expected losses of the legal entity; (c) the legal entity undertakes additional activities or acquires additional assets, beyond those anticipated at the later of the inception of the entity or the latest reconsideration event, that increase the entity’s expected losses; (d) the legal entity receives an additional equity investment that is at risk, or the legal entity curtails or modifies its activities in a way that decreases its expected losses; and(e) changes in facts and circumstances occur such that the holders of the equity investment at risk, as a group, lose the power from voting rights or similar rights of those investments to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, no event would change the Company’s primary beneficiary status.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses

Accounts receivable represents the Company’s unconditional right to the payments from insurance companies, and are recognized and carried at the original invoiced amount less an allowance for credit losses. The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses in accordance with ASC Topic 326, Credit Losses (“ASC 326”) and records the allowance for credit losses as an offset to accounts receivable and contract assets, and the estimated credit losses charged to the allowance is classified as “general and administrative” in the consolidated statements of operations. The adoption of ASC Topic 326 does not have an impact on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The balance of allowance of credit losses was nil as of March 31, 2023. The Company assesses collectability by reviewing accounts receivable and contract assets on a collective basis where similar characteristics exist, primarily based on similar risk characteristics on a group basis when the Company identifies specific customers with known disputes or collectability issues. In determining the amount of the allowance for credit losses, the Company considers historical collectability based on past due status, the age of the accounts receivable balances and contract assets balances, credit quality of the Company’s customers based on ongoing credit evaluations, current economic conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions, and other factors that may affect the Company’s ability to collect from customers.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenue is derived from insurance agency and brokerage services with respect to life insurance and property and casualty insurance products. The Company, through its subsidiaries and variable interest entities, sells insurance products provided by insurance companies to individuals, and is compensated in the form of commissions from the respective insurance companies, according to the terms of each service agreement made by and between the Company and the insurance companies. The core revenue recognition principle under ASC 606, the Company considers the contracts with insurance companies contain one performance obligation and consideration should be recorded when performance obligation is satisfied at point in time. The sale of an insurance product by the Company is considered complete when initial insurance premium is paid by an individual and the insurance policy is approved by the respective insurance company. When a policy is effective, the insurance company is obligated to pay the agreed-upon commission to the Company under the terms of its service agreement with the Company and such commission is recognized as revenue.

For the first year commission (FYC), the Company recognizes the revenue when the individuals’ policies are effective. The Company makes the estimation amount to be entitled for annual performance and operating bonus which is based on the FYC. The Company makes an estimation on performance and operation bonus which are based on the accumulated FYC on quarterly basis, and make reconciliation between actual and estimation amount on annual basis. The estimated revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was approximately $2.9 million and $2.8 million, respectively.

Others includes the contingent commissions for subsequent years, the bonus based on persistency ratio bonus, and service allowances, are considered highly susceptible to factors outside the company’s influence and depend on the actions of third parties (i.e., the subsequent premiums paid by individual policyholders), and the uncertainty can be extended for many years. Considering the high uncertainties, the contingent commissions for subsequent years, the bonus based on persistency ratio, and service allowances will be recognized as revenue upon notice of actual amounts from the insurance companies after the uncertain event is resolved.

For property and casualty insurance products, the Company recognizes the revenue when the individuals’ policies are effective. The revenue from property and casualty insurance products was 5.4% and 7.0% of the Company’s total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

The Company is obligated to pay commissions to its sales professionals when an insurance policy becomes effective. Other than that, there are also bonuses rewarded to sales professionals based on their position and sales performance. The Company recognizes commission revenue granted from insurance companies on a gross basis, and the commissions and bonuses paid to its sales professionals are recognized as cost of revenue.

The Company enters into service agreements with insurance companies, which may give rise to contract assets and contract liabilities. When the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of payments made by insurance companies, the Company recognizes either contract assets (its performance precedes the billing date) or contract liabilities (customer payment is received in advance of performance).

Contract assets represent unbilled amounts resulting from the insurance agency and brokerage services provided by the Company to the insurance companies when the Company has a conditional right to payment once the individuals’ insurance policies are effective. Contract assets are classified as current and the full balance is reclassified to accounts receivables when the right to payment becomes unconditional.

Foreign Currency Transactions

China United’s financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars ($), which is the China United’s reporting and functional currency. The functional currencies of the China United’s subsidiaries are New Taiwan dollar (“NTD”), China yuan (“RMB”) and Hong Kong dollar (“HKD”). Each subsidiary maintains its financial records in its own functional currency. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are measured at the exchange rates prevailing on the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are remeasured at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in foreign currency are remeasured using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions. Exchange gains and losses are included in the consolidated statements of operations.

The Company translates the assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars using the rate of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date and the statements of operations and cash flows are translated at an average rate during the reporting period. Adjustments resulting from the translation from NTD, RMB and HKD into U.S. dollars are recorded in stockholders’ equity as part of accumulated other comprehensive income. Cash flows were also translated at average translation rates for the period and, therefore, amounts reported on the statement of cash flows would not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. The exchange rates used for unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are as follows:

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income attributable to the common shareholders of the Company by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS is computed in the same manner as basic EPS, except the number of shares includes additional common shares that would have been outstanding if potential common shares with a dilutive effect had been issued.

As the holders of preferred stock of the Company are entitled to share equally with the holders of common stock, on a per share basis, in such dividends and other distributions of cash, property or shares of stock of the Company as may be declared by the board of directors, the preferred stock is treated as a participating security. When calculating the basic earnings per common share, the two-class method is used to allocate earnings to common stock and participating security as required by FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” As of March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company does not have any potentially dilutive instrument.

The following is a reconciliation of the income and share data used in the basic and diluted EPS computations for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 under the two-class method.

Basic and diluted earnings per share	$	0.059	$	0.059	$	0.094	$	0.094

The participating rights (liquidation and dividend rights) of the holders of the Company’s common stock and preferred stock are identical, except with respect to voting right. As a result, and in accordance with ASC Topic 260, the undistributed earnings for each year are allocated based on the contractual participation rights of the common stock and preferred stock as if the earnings for the year had been distributed. As the liquidation and dividend rights are identical, the undistributed earnings are allocated on a proportionate basis.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value accounting establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. Fair value, which is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. This framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels as follows:

-	Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

-Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.

-Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.

In determining the appropriate levels, the Company performs a detailed analysis of the assets and liabilities that are measured and reported on a fair value basis. At each reporting period, all assets and liabilities for which the fair value measurement is based on significant unobservable inputs are classified as Level 3.

The following table summarize financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

Marketable securities and long-term investments in REITs – The fair values of equity securities and REITs were valued based on quoted market prices in active markets.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with banks in the USA, the PRC, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. Should any bank holding the Company’s cash become insolvent, or if the Company is otherwise unable to withdraw funds, the Company would lose all or part of its cash deposit with that bank; however, the Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant risks on its cash in bank accounts. In Taiwan, a depositor has up to NTD 3,000,000 insured by Central Deposit Insurance Corporation (“CDIC”). In China, a depositor has up to RMB 500,000 insured by the People’s Bank of China Financial Stability Bureau (“FSD”). In Hong Kong, a depositor has up to HKD 500,000 insured by Hong Kong Deposit Protection Board (“DPB”). In the United States, the standard insurance amount is $250,000 per depositor in a bank insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”).

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, time deposits, restricted cash, register capital deposits, contract assets and accounts receivable. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, approximately $2,724,643 and $2,356,000 of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, time deposits, restricted cash, and register capital deposits held by financial institutions, was insured, and the remaining balance of approximately $98,662,650 and $93,337,000, was not insured. With respect to accounts receivable, the Company generally does not require collateral and does not have collectability concern.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had three insurance companies individually exceeding 10% of total revenues, which represented 29%, 15% and 12% for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and 25%, 14% and 11% for the three months ended March 31, 2022, respectively.

As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had three insurance companies with accounts receivable and contract assets balances individually exceeding 10% of the total accounts receivable and contract assets balances, which represented accounting for 30%, 15% and 11% as of March 31, 2023, and 32%, 13% and 12% as of December 31, 2022, respectively.

The Company’s operations are in Taiwan, the PRC, and Hong Kong. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic, foreign currency exchange and legal environments in the PRC, Hong Kong and Taiwan, and by the state of each economy. The Company’s results of operations may be adversely affected by changes in the political and social conditions in the PRC, Hong Kong and Taiwan, and by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.

New Accounting Pronouncements and Other Guidance

New accounting pronouncement adopted

Credit Losses

The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-13, (FASB ASC Topic 326), Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments on January 1, 2023, which requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost. ASC Topic 326 replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected loss methodology, which will result in more timely recognition of credit losses. There was no impact upon initial application of ASC Topic 326 on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

New accounting pronouncements not yet adopted

During the first quarter of 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU 2023-01, “Leases,” which guides accounting for leasehold improvements associated with leases between entities under common control, and issued ASU 2023-02, “Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures,” which permits reporting entities to elect to account for their tax equity investments,

NOTE 3 – DISPOSAL OF NONFINANCIAL ASSETS IN SUBSIDIARY, JIANGSU LAW

On February 25, 2022, Law Anhou Insurance Agency Co., Ltd. (“Anhou”), a contractually controlled entity of CUII entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with Jiangsu Law Insurance Brokerage Co., Ltd. (“Jiangsu Law”) and third-party buyers, pursuant to which Anhou sold and transferred 100% of its equity ownership in Jiangsu Law, a wholly owned subsidiary of Anhou, for a total consideration of $3,262,890 (or RMB 21 million) to the following buyers: Xuzhou Guosheng Furui Asset Management Co., Ltd., Jiangsu Zhongbozhixin Financial Service Outsourcing Co., Ltd., and Xuzhou Xinrui Service Outsourcing Co., Ltd. Jiangsu Law holds an insurance agency license. The Company evaluated that such disposal does not meet the criteria for discontinued operations because it does not represent a strategic shift that has a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results.

Pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement the accounts receivables and unfulfilled contracts of Jiangsu Law were transferred to Anhou and all debts and liabilities of Jiangsu Law were assumed by Anhou. In addition, the Share Purchase Agreement also provided that Anhou and Jiangsu Law are responsible for the arrangement of employees of Jiangsu Law. As a result, Jiangsu Law retained its insurance agency license as the only asset transferred to the third-party buyers. Further, for the maintenance of insurance agency license, there is a new requirement effective February 2022 by the local authorities to make additional capital contribution to Jiangsu Law, which will be provided by the third-party buyers according to the Share Purchase Agreement. The cost to sell this insurance agency license was immaterial.

On July 28, 2022, the Hsuchow Regulatory Bureau of the China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission (the “CBIRC Hsuchow Regulatory Bureau”) approved the change of shareholders of Jiangsu Law from Anhou to the aforementioned third-party buyers and accordingly, Anhou lost control over Jiangsu Law that holds the insurance agency license under ASC 810. In the meantime, the Company recognized a gain of $3,262,890 from the disposal of the insurance agency license under ASC 610-20, which was included in income from operations during the third fiscal quarter of 2022.

The Company also recognized the severance payments of $627,407 under operating expenses in 2022 related to the disposal of Jiangsu Law.

The Company records income tax expense using the asset-and-liability method of accounting for deferred income taxes. Under this method, deferred taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year-end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on available evidence, it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

When tax returns are filed, it is likely that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. Interest associated with unrecognized tax benefits are classified as interest expense and penalties are classified in selling, general and administrative expenses in the statements of operations and other comprehensive income (loss).

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the utilization of deferred tax assets of $114,656 (RMB 784,407) not previously recognized was from the Company’s VIE and its subsidiaries in China. The historical evidence of the past financial performance of VIE and its subsidiaries in China provides positive evidence that it may be able to realize their deferred tax assets in the future, indicating that they have not incurred consistent losses in the past, which is a positive indicator of their ability to generate future taxable income. Therefore, the Company has determined that a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is not necessary at this time and released the related valuation allowance accordingly.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

The following discussion of the results of operations and financial condition should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Item 1 of this part. This report, including the information incorporated by reference, contains forward-looking statements as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The use of any of the words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “estimate,” and similar expressions are intended to identify such statements. Forward-looking statements include statements concerning our possible or assumed future results. The actual results that we achieve may differ materially from those discussed in such forward-looking statements due to the risks and uncertainties described in the Risk Factors section of this report, in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and in other sections of this report, as well as in our annual report on Form 10-K. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements.

Overview

The Company primarily provides two broad categories of insurance products, life insurance products and property and casualty insurance products, in Taiwan and PRC. The Company also provides reinsurance brokerage services in Hong Kong. The percentage of reinsurance brokerage services is less than 1% of our total revenue. The insurance products that the Company’s subsidiaries sell are underwritten by some of the leading insurance companies in Taiwan and PRC, respectively.

(1)

Life Insurance Products

Total revenue from Taiwan segment’s sales of life insurance products were 92.0% and 89.2% of the Company’s total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Total revenue from PRC segment’s sales of life insurance products were 2.6% and 3.6% of the Company’s total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

In addition to the periodic premium payment schedules, most of the individual life insurance products we distribute also allow the insured to choose to make a single, lump-sum premium payment at the beginning of the policy term. If a periodic payment schedule is adopted by the insured, a life insurance policy can generate periodic payment of fixed premiums to the insurance company for a specified period of time. This means that once the Company sells a life insurance policy with a periodic premium payment schedule, it will be able to derive commission and fee income from that policy for an extended period of time, sometimes up to 25 years. Because of this feature and the expected sustainable growth of life insurance sales in the PRC and Taiwan, we have invested significant resources ever since the incorporation of Anhou and Law Broker on developing our capability to distribute individual life insurance products with periodic payment schedules. We expect that sales of life insurance products will continue being our primary source of revenue in the next several years.

(2)

Property and Casualty Insurance Products

Total revenue from Taiwan segment’s sales of property and casualty insurance products were 5.4% and 6.3% of the Company’s total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Total revenue from PRC segment’s sales of property and casualty insurance products was nil and 0.7% of the Company’s total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

The Company continues to diligently monitor and manage through the impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic on all aspects of our business, attempting to keep our customers, sales professionals and employees healthy and safe. Although the extent of the COVID-19 impact to the Company will depend on numerous factors and developments, we do not expect the COVID-19 pandemic to materially impact our business and financial conditions in 2023 based on current trends.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

A critical accounting policy is one that is both important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operation and requires our management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. We have had no changes to our Critical Accounting Policies as described in our most recent Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and believe that of our significant accounting and reporting policies, the more critical policies include our accounting for revenue recognition and estimate of income taxes. Our significant accounting policies are described

Revenue

As a distributor of insurance products, we derive our revenue primarily from commissions and fees paid by insurance companies, typically calculated as a percentage of premiums paid by our customers to the insurance companies in Taiwan, PRC and Hong Kong. We generate revenue primarily through our sales force, which consists of individual sales professional in our distribution and service network. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the revenues generated from Taiwan, PRC and Hong Kong were as follows:


Geographic Areas	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2023			2022			Change		Percent
Revenue
Taiwan segment	$	32,920,838		$	29,549,885		$	3,370,953	11.4	%
Percentage of revenue		97.4	%		95.4	%
PRC segment		869,083			1,347,816			(478,733)	(35.5)	%
Percentage of revenue		2.6	%		4.3	%
Hong Kong segment		393			82,822			(82,429)	(99.5)	%
Percentage of revenue		—	%		0.3	%
Total revenue	$	33,790,314		$	30,980,523		$	2,809,791	9.1	%

Revenue from our Taiwan segment increased by $3.4 million from $29.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 to $32.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The revenue in local currency was increased due to the increased performance and operation bonus resulting from the increased sales of insurance products from Uniwill and Law Broker, which was benefited from the popularity of interest linked insurance policies, and the revenue was partially offset by the decrease in revenue from continuance bonus in Uniwill.

Revenue from our PRC segment decreased by $0.4 million from $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 to $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in revenue from our PRC segment was mainly due to the disposal of Jiangsu Law, which had contributed substantial revenue in the PRC segment for the three months ended March 31, 2022, and due to the decrease of trailing commissions for subsequent years resulting from the overall declining market in PRC segment.

Revenue from the Hong Kong Segment was primarily derived from reinsurance commission on sales of insurance products from other insurers to Taiwan Life Insurance Co., Ltd. (“Taiwan Life”) for risk management. The decrease in revenue from our Hong Kong segment for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to that of the three months ended March 31, 2022 was due to the termination of certain of our reinsurance agreements and the discontinuation of travel insurance.

Cost of revenue and gross profit

The cost of revenue mainly consists of commissions paid to our sales professionals. The cost of revenue increased by $3.2 million from $19.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 to $22.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in the cost of revenue was mainly resulted from the revenue increase of both Uniwill and Law Broker. In addition, the bonuses paid to sales agents also increased due to relatively more outstanding sales performance from senior sales agents with higher commission rates.

Consequently, the gross profit margin decreased from 38.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 to 34.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Selling expenses

Selling expenses were mainly incurred by Law Broker and Uniwill in connection with costs related to marketing and advertising. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, selling expenses were $0.6 million, which was not significantly different from those of the same period of 2022.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses are principally comprised of salaries and benefits for our administrative staff, office rental expenses, travel expenses, depreciation and amortization, entertainment expenses, and professional service fees. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, G&A expenses were $6.2 million, reflecting an increase of $0.2 million, compared with $6.0 million of

Table of Contents

G&A expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in the general and administrative expenses was attributed to the recognition of office rental expenses arising from the growing operation of Uniwill.

Other income (expenses), net

Other income mainly consisted of interest income, interest expenses, gain or loss on valuation of financial assets and foreign currency exchange gain or loss. Other income were $0.1 million, reflecting a decrease of $0.9 million, compared with the other income of $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The net decrease in other income was mainly due to the foreign currency exchange gain recognized from foreign currency time deposits assets and intercompany transactions that will be paid back in currency other than the functional currency because of the substantial depreciation of the New Taiwan Dollar against the U.S. dollar and Chinese Yuan during the first quarter of 2022 compared that of the same period in 2023.

Income tax expense

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, income tax expense was $1.2 million, reflecting a decrease of $0.4 million or 21.3%, compared with the income tax expense of $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The slight decrease in income tax expense was mainly due to the foreign currency exchange rates fluctuations and release of valuation allowance.

Other comprehensive items

Other comprehensive items mainly consisted of foreign currency translation gain or loss. The foreign currency translation gain was $0.7 million, reflecting a increase of $3.8 million, compared with foreign currency translation loss of $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in foreign currency translation gain was mainly due to a larger foreign currency translation loss resulted from the substantial depreciation of the New Taiwan Dollar against the U.S. dollar for net assets of Taiwan segment for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared with that of the same period in 2023.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following table presents a comparison of the net cash provided by operating activities, net cash used in investing activities and net cash provided by financing activities for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2023 and 2022:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2023		2022		Change		Percent
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	4,381,546	$	7,599,296	$	(3,217,750)	(42.3)	%
Net cash used in investing activities		(7,932,246)		(5,331,480)		(2,600,766)	48.8	%
Net cash provided by financing activities		1,002,356		1,054,769		(52,413)	(5.0)	%

Operating activities

Net cash provided by operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $4.4 million, reflecting a decrease of $3.2 million or 42.3% in comparison with that of $7.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease in cash inflows was mainly due to lower net income, the increase of accounts receivable and contract assets, offset by the decrease of income tax payable balance for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared with that of the same period in 2022.

Investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $7.9 million, reflecting an increase of $2.6 million or 48.8% in comparison with that of $5.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Increases in the cash used in the investing activities mainly resulted from the increase of the purchases of time deposits during three months ended March 31, 2023. The cash outflow was offset by proceeds from receipts in advance of disposal of a subsidiary for the same period in 2022.

Financing activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $1.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023, which decreased by $0.1 million from that of $1.1 million during the same period of 2022. Net cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2023 remained consistent with that of the same period in 2022.

The Company had no off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2023.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

As a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, we are not required to provide the information under this item.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit of possible controls and procedures.

Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level as of March 31, 2023. This conclusion was based on the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described in Part II, Item 9A, “Controls and Procedures” of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. The material weaknesses have not been remediated as of March 31, 2023. We continue to work on the remediation of the material weakness, we may determine to take additional measures to address our control deficiencies. The material weakness will continue to exist until the remediation steps identified in our 2022 Form 10-K are fully implemented and concluded to be operating effectively.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. If not remediated, the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described in the Form 10-K for the year of 2022 could result in a material misstatement of our annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2023, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well-designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of controls to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.
