China Kaipeng Group Co., Ltd. whereby the Company newly issued 15,000,000 shares (given effect of the Reverse Stock Split, see Note 9) of its common stock in exchange for all the outstanding shares in DIGLS. This transaction has been accounted for as a reverse takeover transaction and a recapitalization of the Company whereby the Company, the legal acquirer, is the accounting acquiree, and DIGLS, the legal acquiree, is the accounting acquirer; accordingly, the Company’s historical statement of stockholders’ equity has been retroactively restated to the first period presented.

On March 1, 2019, the Company entered into a sale and purchase agreement (the “SP Agreement”) to acquire 100% of the shares of Jiujiu Group Stock Co., Ltd. (“JJGS”), a company incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Seychelles. The transaction closed on March 1, 2019. Pursuant to the SP Agreement, the Company issued 5 shares (given effect of the Reverse Stock Split, see Note 9) of its common stock to JJGS to acquire 100% of the shares of JJGS for a cost of $150. After the closing, JJGS became the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary. JJGS owns all of the equity interest of Jiujiu (HK) Industry Limited (“JJHK”) and Jiujiu (Shenzhen) Industry Co., Ltd. (“JJSZ”). JJGS, JJHK and JJSZ did not have any material assets or liabilities as of December 31, 2019, and they did not have any substantial operations or active business during the year ended December 31, 2019.

On June 22, 2020, the Company entered into a sale and purchase agreement along with Qianhai DaXingHuaShang Investment (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd., a company incorporated in China and a wholly-owned subsidiary of FVTI (“QHDX”), to acquire 90% of the shares of Dongguan Xixingdao Technology Co., Ltd.

Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2022 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) that permit reduced disclosure for interim periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring entries considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for these periods are not necessarily comparable to, or indicative of, results of any other interim period or for the fiscal year taken as a whole. The condensed consolidated balance sheet information as of December 31, 2021 was derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on April 1, 2022 (the “report”). These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the report.

The results of subsidiaries acquired during the respective periods are included in the consolidated statements of operations from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate. The portion of the income or loss applicable to noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries is reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

As of September 30, 2022, details of the Company’s major subsidiaries were as follows:

 SCHEDULE OF ENTITIES AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant accounting estimates include certain assumptions related to going concern, allowance of doubtful accounts, allowance of deferred tax asset, implicit interest rate of operating leases, useful lives and impairment of long-lived assets, and impairment of goodwill. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Reclassification

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on net earnings and financial position.

Foreign currency translation and re-measurement

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

The reporting currency for the Company and its subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar. The Company, DIGLS, DILHK, JJGS and JJHK’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar; QHDX, JJSZ and their subsidiaries which are incorporated in PRC use the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”) as their functional currency.

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

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

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

Translation of amounts from the local currencies of the Company into US$ has been made at the following exchange rates for the respective periods:

 SCHEDULE OF FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE RATE TRANSLATION

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

Impairment of long-lived assets other than goodwill

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. Impairment may be the result of becoming obsolete from a change in the industry or new technologies. Impairment is present if the carrying amount of an asset is less than its undiscounted cash flows to be generated.

If an asset is considered impaired, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

The Company did not recognize any impairment of long-lived assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired in a business combination. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 350, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Others”, goodwill is subject to at least an annual assessment for impairment or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that an impairment may exist, applying a fair-value based test. Fair value is generally determined using a discounted cash flow analysis. The Company would recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value up to the amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company did not record any impairment of goodwill.

Revenue recognition

The Company follows the guidance of ASC 606, revenue from contracts with customers is recognized using the following five steps:

Under Topic 606, revenues are recognized when the promised products have been confirmed of delivery or services have been transferred to the consumers in amounts that reflect the consideration the customer expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services. The Company presents value added taxes (“VAT”) as reductions of revenues. The Company recognizes revenues net of value added taxes (“VAT”) and relevant charges.

We generate revenue primarily from the sales of wine, water, oil and water purifier directly to agents, wholesalers and end users. We recognize product revenue at a point in time when the control of the products has been transferred to customers. The transfer of control is considered complete when products have been picked up by or delivered to our customers. We account for shipping and handling fees as a fulfillment cost.

The following table provides information about disaggregated revenue based on revenue by product types:
