Note 1 – Nature of business and organization

Code Chain New Continent Limited (the “Company” or “CCNC”), formerly known as TMSR Holding Company Limited and JM Global Holding Company, was a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on April 10, 2015. The Company was formed for the purpose of acquiring, through a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization, exchangeable share transaction or other similar business transaction, one or more operating businesses or assets. On June 20, 2018, CCNC completed a reincorporation and as a result, the Company changed its state of incorporation from Delaware to Nevada (the “Reincorporation”). The Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of CCNC Nevada became the governing instruments of the Company, resulting in a 2-for-1 forward stock split of the Company’s common stock (the “Forward Split). The Reincorporation and Forward Split were approved by shareholders holding the majority of the outstanding shares of common stock of CCNC Delaware on June 1, 2018 at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

On February 6, 2018, China Sunlong Environmental Technology Inc. (“China Sunlong”) consummated the business combination with the Company pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) dated as of August 28, 2017 by and among (i) the Company; (ii) Zhong Hui Holding Limited; (iii) China Sunlong; (iv) each of the shareholders of China Sunlong named on Annex I of the Share Exchange Agreement (the “Sellers”); and (v) Chuanliu Ni, a Chinese citizen who is the Chief Executive Officer and director of China Sunlong, in the capacity as the representative for the Sellers. Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company acquired from the Sellers all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of China Sunlong in exchange for 17,990,856 newly-issued shares of common stock of the Company to the Sellers. 1,799,088 of these newly-issued shares are held in escrow for 18 months from the closing date of the Business Combination as a security for China Sunlong and the Sellers’ indemnification obligations under the Share Exchange Agreement. This transaction is accounted for as a “reverse merger” and recapitalization at the date of the consummation of the transaction since the shareholders of China Sunlong owns the majority of the outstanding shares of the Company immediately following the completion of the transaction and the Company’s operations was the operations of China Sunlong following the transaction. Accordingly, China Sunlong was deemed to be the accounting acquirer in the transaction and the transaction was treated as a recapitalization of China Sunlong. The financial statements of China Sunlong prior to February 6, 2018 are prepared on the basis as if the reorganization became effective as of the beginning of the first period presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company.

China Sunlong is a holding company incorporated on August 31, 2015, under the laws of the Cayman Islands. China Sunlong has no substantive operations other than holding all of the outstanding share capital of Shengrong Environmental Protection Holding Company Limited (“Shengrong BVI”). Shengrong BVI is a holding company incorporated on June 30, 2015, under the laws of the British Virgin Islands. Shengrong BVI has no substantive operations other than holding all of the outstanding share capital of Hong Kong Shengrong Environmental Technology Limited (“Shengrong HK”). Shengrong HK is also a holding company holding all of the outstanding equity of Shengrong Environmental Protection Technology (Wuhan) Co., Ltd. (“Shengrong WFOE”).

The Company focuses on the industrial solid waste recycling and comprehensive utilization. The Company’s main products are high efficiency permanent magnetic separators and comprehensive utilization systems for industrial solid wastes. The Company’s headquarter is located in Hubei Province, in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC” or “China”). All of the Company’s business activities are carried out by the wholly owned operating Chinese company, Hubei Shengrong Environmental Protection Energy-Saving Science and Technology Ltd. (“Hubei Shengrong”) prior to May 1, 2018.

On April 11, 2018, the Company, Shengrong WFOE and Hubei Shengrong, both of which are the Company’s indirectly owned subsidiaries (collectively “Purchasers”), entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with Long Liao, Chunyong Zheng, Wuhan Modern Industrial Technology Research Institute, and Hubei Zhonggong Materials Group Co., Ltd. (collectively “Sellers”) and Wuhan HOST Coating Materials Co., Ltd. (“Wuhan HOST”), a company incorporated in China engaging in the research, development, production and sale of coating materials. Pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement, as supplemented on August 16, 2018, the Purchasers acquired all of the outstanding equity interests of Wuhan Host. In exchange for the transfer of 100% equity interest of Wuhan Host, Purchasers shall pay a total consideration of $11.2 million, of which $4.7 million or RMB equivalent shall be paid in cash and $6.0 million shall be paid in shares of common stock, of CCNC (“Share Consideration”). The Parties agree the Share Consideration shall be an aggregate of 1,012,932 shares of common stock of which is based on the closing price of US$4.64 on March 27, 2018.

On March 31, 2017, China Sunlong completed its acquisition of 100% of the equity in TJComex International Group Corporation (“TJComex BVI”). At the closing of such acquisition, the selling shareholders of TJComex BVI received 5,935 shares of China Sunlong Common Stock valued at $926.71 per share for 100% of their equity in TJComex BVI. TJComex BVI owns 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of TJComex Hong Kong Company Limited (“TJComex HK”), a Hong Kong limited liability company, which owns 100% equity interest of Tianjin Corro Technological Consulting Co., Ltd. (“TJComex WFOE”), a wholly foreign owned enterprise incorporated under the laws of the PRC. Pursuant to certain contractual arrangements, TJComex WFOE controls Tianjin Commodity Exchange Co., Ltd.

TJComex Tianjin is engaged in general merchandise trading business and related consulting services, and its headquarter is located in the city of Tianjin, PRC.

On April 2, 2018, the Company disposed of its subsidiary, TJComex BVI in consideration of (i) its minimum contribution to the Company’s results of operation and (ii) the unsatisfactory synergy between the TJComex BVI business and the rest of the Company’s business. The Company’s decision to dispose of TJComex BVI is to (i) improve the Company’s overall financial condition and results of operations, (ii) reduce the complexity of the Company’s business, (iii) focus the Company’s resources on the solid waste recycling business as well as developing environmental control business opportunities; and (iv) make it possible for the Company to pursue acquisition opportunities for more compatible businesses. TJComex BVI was disposed to Chuanliu Ni, a Chinese citizen who is the director of China Sunlong.

As of April 2, 2018, the net assets of TJComex BVI were $16,598 and is being recorded as a loss from disposal of subsidiary in the consolidated financial statements for the period ending December 31, 2018. As TJComex BVI operating revenue was less than 1% of the Company’s revenue and the disposal did not constitute a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results, the results of operations for TJComex BVI were not reported as discontinued operations under the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification 205.

(“Fujian Shengrong”), with registered capital of RMB 10,000,000 (approximately USD 1,518,120). Fujian Shengrong has no operations prior to May 30, 2018. On May 30, 2018, Hubei Shengrong and two unrelated entities entered into certain Capital Transfer and Contribution Agreement pursuant to which these two entities shall contribute cash of approximately USD 5.0 million (RMB 32.0 million) into Fujian Shengrong and Hubei Shengrong shall contribute approximately USD 1.3 million (RMB 8.0 million) which is the consideration for certain technology consulting services to be provided by Hubei Shengrong to the two entities. Upon completion of the contribution, the total registered capital of Fujian Shengrong increased to RMB 40.0 million (approximately USD 6.3 million) and Hubai Shengrong owns 20% and the two entities collectively own 80% of the equity interest of Fujian Shengrong. In August 2018, Hubei Shengrong transferred 20% equity interest of Fujian Shengrong to Shengrong WFOE. The Company will account for the investment in Fujian Shengrong using the cost method. Since Shengrong WFOE did not provide any cash contribution to Fujian Shengrong or technology services, the investment balance under the cost method investment on September 30, 2020 is $0.

On November 30, 2018, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with Jirong Huang and Qihuang Wang (collectively “Sellers”) and Jiangsu Rong Hai Electric Power Fuel Co., Ltd. (“Rong Hai”), a company incorporated in China engaging in the sale of fuel materials and harbor cargo handling services. Pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement, CCNC shall issue an aggregate of 4,630,000 shares of CCNC’s common stock to the Rong Hai Shareholders, in exchange for Rong Hai Shareholders’ agreement to enter into, and their agreement to cause Rong Hai to enter into, certain VIE Agreements (the “Rong Hai VIE Agreements”) with Shengrong WFOE, through which Shengrong WFOE shall have the right to control, manage and operate Rong Hai in return for a service fee approximately equal to 100% of Rong Hai’s net income (“Acquisition”). On November 30, 2018, Shengrong WFOE, the Company’s indirectly owned subsidiary, entered into a series of VIE Agreements with Rong Hai and the Rong Hai Shareholders. The VIE Agreements are designed to provide Shengrong WFOE with the power, rights and obligations equivalent in all material respects to those it would possess as the sole equity holder of Rong Hai, including absolute rights to control the management, operations, assets, property and revenue of Rong Hai. Rong Hai has the necessary license to carry out coal trading business in China. The Acquisition closed on November 30, 2018.

The transaction contemplated by the Equity Purchase Agreement is hereby referred as Disposition. The Company’s decision to dispose of Hubei Shengrong is due to the planning mandates of Wuhan Municipal Government 2018 which manufactures should move away from city’s downtown area. Therefore, due to the policy change, Hubei Shengrong is forced to close the existing facility, relocate and build a new facility, which is expected to take approximately 7-8 years. As a result, Hubei Shengrong will not be able to keep the production running and will generate no income in the foreseeable future. Management believed it is very difficult, if possible at all, to continue manufacturing of solid waste recycling systems. As such, the Company has been actively seeking to dispose Hubei Shengrong while retaining the research and development and sale of solid waste recycling systems business. Upon closing of the Disposition, Hopeway will become the sole shareholder of Hubei Shengrong and as a result, assume all assets and obligations of Hubei Shengrong except the research and development team and intellectual property rights in connection with the solid waste recycling systems business shall be assigned to Shengrong WFOE as part of the Disposition. As Shengrong WFOE has significant continuing involvement in the sale of solid waste recycling systems business and the processed industrial waste materials trading business, this restructuring did not constitute a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. Therefore, the results of operations for Hubei Shengrong were not reported as discontinued operations under the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification 205.

Note 2 – Summary of significant accounting policies

Basis of presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for information pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

Principles of consolidation

The unaudited condensed financial statements of the Company include the accounts of CCNC and its wholly owned subsidiaries and VIE. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated upon consolidation.

Use of estimates and assumptions

The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the useful lives of intangible assets, deferred revenues and plant and equipment, impairment of long-lived assets, collectability of receivables, inventory valuation allowance, present value of lease liabilities and realization of deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Foreign currency translation and transaction

The reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. The Company in China conducts its businesses in the local currency, Renminbi (RMB), as its functional currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at the unified exchange rate as quoted by the People’s Bank of China at the end of the period. The statement of income accounts are translated at the average translation rates and the equity accounts are translated at historical rates. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are included in accumulated other comprehensive income. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred.

Translation adjustments included in accumulated other comprehensive loss amounted to $196,193 and $935,637 as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The balance sheet amounts, with the exception of shareholders’ equity at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were translated at 6.46 RMB and 6.52 RMB to $1.00, respectively. The shareholders’ equity accounts were stated at their historical rate. The average translation rates applied to statement of income accounts for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 were 6.47 RMB and 7.03 RMB, respectively. Cash flows are also translated at average translation rates for the periods, therefore, amounts reported on the statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the consolidated balance sheet.

The PRC government imposes significant exchange restrictions on fund transfers out of the PRC that are not related to business operations. These restrictions have not had a material impact on the Company because it has not engaged in any significant transactions that are subject to the restrictions.

Investments

The Company purchases certain liquid short term investments such as money market funds and or other short term debt securities marketed by financial institutions. These investments are not insured against loss of principal. These investments are accounted for as financial instruments that are marked to fair market value at the end of each reporting period. For investments that are held to maturity debt instruments, which have short maturities, and limited risk profiles, amortized cost may be the best approximation of their fair value and used for such investments.

Accounts receivable, net

Accounts receivable include trade accounts due from customers. An allowance for doubtful accounts may be established and recorded based on management’s assessment of potential losses based on the credit history and relationships with the customers. Management reviews its receivables on a regular basis to determine if the bad debt allowance is adequate, and adjusts the allowance when necessary. Delinquent account balances are written-off against allowance for doubtful accounts after management has determined that the likelihood of collection is not probable.

Inventories

Inventories are comprised of raw materials and work in progress and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the weighted average method in Wuge. Management reviews inventories for obsolescence and cost in excess of net realizable value at least annually and recognize an impairment charge against the inventory when the carrying value exceeds net realizable value. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, no obsolescence and cost in excess of net realizable value were recognized.

Prepayments

Prepayments are funds deposited or advanced to outside vendors for future inventory or services purchases. As a standard practice in China, many of the Company’s vendors require a certain amount to be deposited with them as a guarantee that the Company will complete its purchases on a timely basis. This amount is refundable and bears no interest. The Company has legally binding contracts with its vendors, which require any outstanding prepayments to be returned to the Company when the contract ends.

Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method after consideration of the estimated useful lives of the assets and estimated residual value. The estimated useful lives and residual value are as follows:

The cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization of assets sold or otherwise retired are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to earnings as incurred, while additions, renewals and betterments, which are expected to extend the useful life of assets, are capitalized. The Company also re-evaluates the periods of depreciation and amortization to determine whether subsequent events and circumstances warrant revised estimates of useful lives.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets represent land use rights and patents, and they are stated at cost, less accumulated amortization. Research and development costs associated with internally developed patents are expensed when incurred. Amortization expense is recognized on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. All land in the PRC is owned by the government; however, the government grants “land use rights.” The Company has obtained the rights to use various parcels of land. The patents have finite useful lives and are amortized using a straight-line method that reflects the estimated pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible asset are to be consumed. The Company amortizes the cost of the land use rights and patents, over their useful life using the straight-line method. The Company also re-evaluates the periods of amortization to determine whether subsequent events and circumstances warrant revised estimates of useful lives. The estimated useful lives are as follows:

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration paid of an acquisition over the fair value of the net identifiable assets of the acquired subsidiary at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is not amortized and is tested for impairment at least annually, more often when circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred. Goodwill is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. If impairment exists, goodwill is immediately written off to its fair value and the loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of income. Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed.

Impairment for long-lived assets

Long-lived assets, including plant, equipment and intangible assets with finite lives are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances (such as a significant adverse change to market conditions that will impact the future use of the assets) indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company assesses the recoverability of the assets based on the undiscounted future cash flows the assets are expected to generate and recognize an impairment loss when estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset plus net proceeds expected from disposition of the asset, if any, are less than the carrying value of the asset. If an impairment is identified, the Company would reduce the carrying amount of the asset to its estimated fair value based on a discounted cash flows approach or, when available and appropriate, to comparable market values.

Fair value measurement

The accounting standard regarding fair value of financial instruments and related fair value measurements defines financial instruments and requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company. The Company considers the carrying amount of cash, notes receivable, accounts receivable, other receivables, prepayments, accounts payable, other payables and accrued liabilities, customer deposits, short term loans and taxes payable to approximate their fair values because of their short term nature.

The accounting standards define fair value, establish a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhance disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels are defined as follow:

Financial instruments included in current assets and current liabilities are reported in the consolidated balance sheets at face value or cost, which approximate fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rates of interest.

Customer deposits

Wuge typically receives customer deposits for services to be rendered from its customers. As Wuge delivers the services, it will recognize these deposits to results of operations in accordance to its revenue recognition policy.

Revenue recognition

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606) using the modified retrospective method for contracts that were not completed as of January 1, 2018. This did not result in an adjustment to retained earnings upon adoption of this new guidance as the Company’s revenue, other than retainage revenues, was recognized based on the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for satisfying the performance obligations. However, the impact of the Company’s retainage revenue was not material as of the date of adoption, and as a result, did not result in an adjustment.

The core principle underlying the revenue recognition ASU is that the Company will recognize revenue to represent the transfer of goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in such exchange. This will require the Company to identify contractual performance obligations and determine whether revenue should be recognized at a point in time or over time, based on when control of goods and services transfers to a customer. The Company’s revenue streams are primarily recognized at a point in time except for the retainage revenues where the retainage periods are recognized over the retainage period, usually is a period of twelve months.

The ASU requires the use of a new 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. Upon adoption, the Company evaluated its revenue recognition policy for all revenue streams within the scope of the ASU under previous standards and using the five-step model under the new guidance and confirmed that there were no differences in the pattern of revenue recognition except its retainage revenues.

An entity will also be required to determine if it controls the goods or services prior to the transfer to the customer in order to determine if it should account for the arrangement as a principal or agent. Principal arrangements, where the entity controls the goods or services provided, will result in the recognition of the gross amount of consideration expected in the exchange. Agent arrangements, where the entity simply arranges but does not control the goods or services being transferred to the customer, will result in the recognition of the net amount the entity is entitled to retain in the exchange.

Revenue from equipment and systems, revenue from coating and fuel materials, and revenue from trading and others are recognized at the date of goods delivered and title passed to customers, when a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the Company has no other significant obligations and collectability is reasonably assured. Such revenues are recognized at a point in time after all performance obligations are satisfied under the new five-step model. In addition, training service revenues are recognized when the services are rendered and the Company has no other obligations, and collectability is reasonably assured. These revenues are recognized at a point in time.

Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are recorded as customer deposits.

The Company’s disaggregate revenue streams are summarized as follows:

Research and Development (“R&D”) Expenses

Research and development expenses include salaries and other compensation-related expenses paid to the Company’s research and product development personnel while they are working on R&D projects, as well as raw materials used for the R&D projects. R&D expenses incurred by the Company are included in the selling, general and administrative expenses.

Income taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with U.S. GAAP for income taxes. The charge for taxation is based on the results for the fiscal year as adjusted for items, which are non-assessable or disallowed. It is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred taxes is accounted for using the asset and liability method in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax basis used in the computation of assessable tax profit. In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Deferred tax is calculated using tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the income statement, except when it is related to items credited or charged directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws of the relevant taxing authorities.

An uncertain tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. 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. The Company incurred no such penalties and interest for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. As of June 30, 2021, the Company’s PRC tax returns filed for 2018, 2019 and 2020 remain subject to examination by any applicable tax authorities.

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing income available to common shareholders of the Company by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share takes into account the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common shares were exercised and converted into common shares. 9,079,348 and 10,500,000 of outstanding warrants which is equivalent to convertible of 4,539,674 and 5,250,000 common shares were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation due to its antidilutive effect for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. 824,000 of outstanding options were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation due to its antidilutive effect for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The amendments in this Update affect any entity that is required to apply the provisions of Topic 220, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income, and has items of other comprehensive income for which the related tax effects are presented in other comprehensive income as required by GAAP. The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the amendments in this Update is permitted, including adoption in any interim period, (1) for public business entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued and (2) for all other entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been made available for issuance. The amendments in this Update should be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period (or periods) in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is recognized. The Company does not believe the adoption of this ASU would have a material effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company does not believe other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of income and comprehensive income and statements of cash flows.

Note 3 – Business combination and restructuring

TJ Comex BVI

On April 2, 2018, the Company disposed of its subsidiary, TJComex BVI, in consideration of (i) its minimum contribution to the Company’s results of operation and (ii) the unsatisfactory synergy between the TJComex BVI business and the rest of the Company’s business. The Company’s decision to dispose TJComex BVI is to (i) improve the Company’s overall financial condition and results of operations, (ii) reduce the complexity of the Company’s business, (iii) focus the Company’s resources on the solid waste recycling business as well as developing environmental control business opportunities; and (iv) make it possible for the Company to pursue acquisition opportunities for more compatible business. TJComex BVI was disposed to Chuanliu Ni, a Chinese citizen who is the Chief Executive Officer and director of China Sunlong, for no consideration.

As of April 2, 2018, the net assets of TJComex BVI were $16,598 and will be recorded as a loss from disposal of subsidiary in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018. As TJComex BVI operating revenue was less than 1% of the Company’s revenue and the disposal did not constitute a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results, the results of operations for TJComex BVI were not reported as discontinued operations under the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification 205.

Wuge

On January 3, 2020, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement with Sichuan Wuge Network Games Co., Ltd. (“Wuge”) and all the shareholders of Wuge (“Wuge Shareholders”). Pursuant to the share purchase agreement, the Company agreed to issue an aggregate of 4,000,000 shares of CCNC’s common stock to the Wuge Shareholders, in exchange for Wuge Shareholders’ agreement to enter into, and their agreement to cause Wuge to enter into, certain VIE agreements (“VIE Agreements”) with Tongrong WFOE the Company’s indirectly owned subsidiary, through which Tongrong WFOE shall have the right to control, manage and operate Wuge in return for a service fee equal to 100% of Wuge’s net income (the “Acquisition”). On January 3, 2020, Tongrong WFOE entered into a series of VIE Agreements with Wuge and the Wuge Shareholders. The VIE Agreements are designed to provide Tongrong WFOE with the power, rights and obligations equivalent in all material respects to those it would possess as the sole equity holder of Wuge, including absolute rights to control the management, operations, assets, property and revenue of Wuge. Wuge has all necessary license to carry out its business in China.Wuge is a technology company in development stage. It was incorporated in China in July 2019. Wuge Manor, the game Wuge is developing, is the world’s first game that combines Internet of Things (IoT) and e-commerce that is based on Code Chain platform. Through the game, players will be able to have access to hundreds of vendors and business owners in over 100 cities in China, participate in activities those businesses set up and collect points, which can be redeemed as equipment in the game or coupons usable when making purchase at that business. In addition, Wuge produced electronic tokens that can be stored in the Code Chain system to purchase virtual property based on real estate. The Acquisition closed on January 24, 2020.

The Company’s acquisition of Wuge was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805. The Company has allocated the purchase price of Wuge based upon the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the acquisition date. Other current assets and current liabilities were valued using the cost approach. Management of the Company is responsible for determining the fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed, plant and equipment, and intangible assets identified as of the acquisition date and considered a number of factors including valuations from independent appraisers. Acquisition-related costs incurred for the acquisitions are not material and have been expensed as incurred in general and administrative expense.

The following table summarizes the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, which represents the net purchase price allocation at the date of the acquisition of Wuge based on a valuation performed by an independent valuation firm engaged by the Company:

Approximately $7.3 millions of goodwill arising from the acquisition consists largely of synergies expected from combining the operations of the Company and Wuge. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

Note 4 – Variable interest entity

On November 30, 2018, Tongrong WFOE entered into Contractual Arrangements with Rong Hai and its shareholders upon executing of the “Purchase Agreement”. The significant terms of these Contractual Arrangements are summarized in “Note 1 - Nature of business and organization” above. As a result, the Company classifies Rong Hai as VIE.

On January 3, 2020, Tongrong WFOE entered into Contractual Arrangements with Wuge and its shareholders upon executing of the “Purchase Agreement”. The significant terms of these Contractual Arrangements are summarized in “Note 1 - Nature of business and organization” above. As a result, the Company classifies Wuge as VIE.

On January 11, 2021, Makesi WFOE entered into a series of assignment agreements (the “Assignment Agreements”) with Tongrong WFOE, Wuge and Wuge Shareholders, pursuant to which Tongrong WFOE assign all its rights and obligations under the VIE Agreements to Makesi WFOE (the “Assignment”). The VIE Agreements and the Assignment Agreements grant Makesi WFOE with the power, rights and obligations equivalent in all material respects to those it would possess as the sole equity holder of Wuge, including absolute rights to control the management, operations, assets, property and revenue of Wuge. The Assignment does not have any impact on Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The purchase price for the Tongrong Shares shall be $2,464,411, payable in the form of cancelling 426,369 shares of common stock of the Company owned by the Payee (the “CCNC Shares”). The CCNC Shares are valued at $5.78 per share, based on the average closing price of the Company’s common stock during the 30 trading days immediately prior to the date of the agreement from February 12, 2021 to March 26, 2021. On March 31, 2021, the Company closed the sale of the Tongrong Shares and caused the CCNC Shares to be cancelled. Tongrong WFOE contractually controls Jaingsu Rong Hai Electric Power Fuel Co., Ltd. (“Rong Hai”), a variable interest entity of the Company. The disposition of Tongrong WFOE included disposition of Rong Hai.

A VIE is an entity that has either a total equity investment that is insufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, or whose equity investors lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest, such as through voting rights, right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity or obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity. The variable interest holder, if any, that has a controlling financial interest in a VIE is deemed to be the primary beneficiary and must consolidate the VIE. Makesi WFOE is deemed to have a controlling financial interest and be the primary beneficiary of Wuge because it has both of the following characteristics:

Accordingly, the accounts of Rong Hai and Wuge are consolidated in the accompanying financial statements pursuant to ASC 810-10, Consolidation. In addition, their financial positions and results of operations are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements beginning on November 30, 2018.

Note 11 – Taxes

Income tax

United States

CCNC was organized in the state of Delaware in April 2015 and re-incorporated in the state of Nevada in June 2018. CCNC’s U.S. net operating loss for the three months ended March 31, 2021 amounted to approximately $23.7 million. As of March 31, 2021, CCNC’s net operating loss carry forward for United States income taxes was approximately $5.0 million. The net operating loss carry forwards are available to reduce future years’ taxable income through year 2038. Management believes that the realization of the benefits from these losses appears uncertain due to the Company’s operating history and continued losses in the United States. Accordingly, the Company has provided a 100% valuation allowance on the deferred tax asset to reduce the asset to zero. Management reviews this valuation allowance periodically and makes changes accordingly.

On December 22, 2017, the “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act” (“The 2017 Tax Act”) was enacted in the United States. Under the provisions of the Act, the U.S. corporate tax rate decreased from 34% to 21%. The 2017 Tax Act imposed a global intangible low-taxed income tax (“GILTI”), which is a new tax on certain off-shore earnings at an effective rate of 10.5% for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017 (increasing to 13.125% for tax years beginning after December 31, 2025) with a partial offset for foreign tax credits. The Company determined that there are no impact of GILTI for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, which the Company believes that it will be imposed a minimum tax rate of 10.5% and to the extent foreign tax credits are available to reduce its US corporate tax, which may result in no additional US federal income tax being due.

Cayman Islands

China Sunlong is incorporated in the Cayman Islands and are not subject to tax on income or capital gains under current Cayman Islands law. In addition, upon payments of dividends by China Sunlong to its shareholders, no Cayman Islands withholding tax will be imposed.

British Virgin Islands

Citi Profit BVI is incorporated in the British Virgin Islands and are not subject to tax on income or capital gains under current British Virgin Islands law. In addition, upon payments of dividends by these entities to their shareholders, no British Virgin Islands withholding tax will be imposed.

Hong Kong

TMSR HK is incorporated in Hong Kong and are subject to Hong Kong Profits Tax on the taxable income as reported in its statutory financial statements adjusted in accordance with relevant Hong Kong tax laws. The applicable tax rate is 16.5% in Hong Kong. The Company did not make any provisions for Hong Kong profit tax as there were no assessable profits derived from or earned in Hong Kong since inception. Under Hong Kong tax law, TMSR HK is exempted from income tax on its foreign-derived income and there are no withholding taxes in Hong Kong on remittance of dividends.

PRC

Makesi WFOE and Wuge are governed by the income tax laws of the PRC and the income tax provision in respect to operations in the PRC is calculated at the applicable tax rates on the taxable income for the periods based on existing legislation, interpretations and practices in respect thereof. Under the Enterprise Income Tax Laws of the PRC (the “EIT Laws”), Chinese enterprises are subject to income tax at a rate of 25% after appropriate tax adjustments.

Significant components of the provision for income taxes are as follows:

Deferred tax assets

Bad debt allowances must be approved by the Chinese tax authority prior to being deducted as an expense item on the tax return.

Significant components of deferred tax assets were as follows:

Value added tax

Enterprises or individuals who sell commodities, engage in repair and maintenance or import and export goods in the PRC are subject to a value added tax in accordance with PRC laws. The value added tax (“VAT”) standard rates are 6% to 17% of the gross sales price and changed to 6% to 16% of gross sales starting in May 2018. The VAT standard rates changed to 6% to 13% of the gross sales prices starting in April 2019. A credit is available whereby VAT paid on the purchases of semi-finished products or raw materials used in the production of the Company’s finished products can be used to offset the VAT due on sales of the finished products and services.

Taxes payable consisted of the following:

Note 12 – Concentration of risk

Credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, $4,804,404 and $998,717 and were deposited with various financial institutions located in the PRC, respectively. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, $14,446,988 and $0 were deposited with one financial institution located in the U.S., respectively. While management believes that these financial institutions are of high credit quality, it also continually monitors their credit worthiness.

Accounts receivable are typically unsecured and derived from revenue earned from customers, thereby exposed to credit risk. The risk is mitigated by the Company’s assessment of its customers’ creditworthiness and its ongoing monitoring of outstanding balances.

Note 13 – Equity

Restricted net assets

The Company’s ability to pay dividends is primarily dependent on the Company receiving distributions of funds from its subsidiaries. Relevant PRC statutory laws and regulations permit payments of dividends by Makesi WFOE only out of its retained earnings, if any, as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. The results of operations reflected in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP differ from those reflected in the statutory financial statements of Makesi WFOE.

Makesi WFOE and Wuge are required to set aside at least 10% of their after-tax profits each year, if any, to fund certain statutory reserve funds until such reserve funds reach 50% of its registered capital. In addition, Makesi WFOE may allocate a portion of its after-tax profits based on PRC accounting standards to enterprise expansion fund and staff bonus and welfare fund at its discretion. Wuge may allocate a portion of its after-tax profits based on PRC accounting standards to a discretionary surplus fund at its discretion. The statutory reserve funds and the discretionary funds are not distributable as cash dividends. Remittance of dividends by a wholly foreign-owned company out of China is subject to examination by the banks designated by State Administration of Foreign Exchange.

As a result of the foregoing restrictions, Makesi WFOE and Wuge are restricted in their ability to transfer their net assets to the Company. Foreign exchange and other regulation in the PRC may further restrict Makesi WFOE and Wuge from transferring funds to China Sunlong in the form of dividends, loans and advances. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, amounts restricted are the net assets of Makesi WFOE and Wuge which amounted to $877,953 and $ (216,935), respectively.

Warrants and options

On July 29, 2015, the Company sold 10,000,000 units at a purchase price of $5.00 per unit (“Public Units”) in its initial public offering. Each Public Unit consists of one share of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value, and one warrant. Each warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one-half of one share of common stock at an exercise price of $2.88 per half share ($5.75 per whole share). Warrants may be exercised only for a whole number of shares of common stock. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the warrants. The warrants will become exercisable on 30 days after the consummation of its initial Business Combination with China Sunlong on February 6, 2018. The warrants will expire February 5, 2023. The warrants will be redeemable by the Company at a price of $0.01 per warrant upon 30 days prior written notice after the warrants become exercisable, only in the event that the last sale price of the common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third business day prior to the date on which notice of redemption is given.

The sponsor of the Company purchased, simultaneously with the closing of the Public Offering on July 29, 2015, 500,000 units at $5.00 per unit in a private placement for an aggregate price of $2,500,000. Each unit purchased is substantially identical to the units sold in the Public Offering.

The Company sold to the underwriter (and/or its designees), for $100, as additional compensation, an option to purchase up to a total of 800,000 units exercisable at $5.00 per unit (or an aggregate exercise price of $4,000,000) upon the closing of the Public Offering. Since the option is not exercisable until the earliest on the closing the initial Business Combination, the option will effectively represent the right to purchase up to 800,000 shares of common stock and 800,000 warrants to purchase 400,000 shares at $5.75 per full share for an aggregate maximum amount of $6,300,000. The units issuable upon exercise of this option are identical to those issued in the Public Offering.

In July 2016, the board of directors of the Company appointed two new directors. In August 2016, the sponsor of the Company granted an option to each of the two new directors to acquire 12,000 shares of common stock at a price of $4.90 per share vested immediately and exercisable commencing six months after closing of the initial Business Combination and expiring five years from the closing of the initial Business Combination.

The aforementioned warrants and options are deemed to be effective on February 6, 2018, the date of the consummation of its initial business combination with China Sunlong, as the Company was deemed to be the accounting acquiree in the transaction and the transaction was treated as a recapitalization of China Sunlong.

The summary of warrant activity is as follows:

Key Factors that Affect Operating Results

Wuge’s growth strategy for is substantially dependent upon our ability to market our intended products and services successfully to prospective clients in China. This requires that we heavily rely upon our development and marketing partners. Failure to select the right development and marketing partners will significantly delay or prohibit our ability to develop our intended products and services, market the products and gain market acceptance. Our intended products and services may not achieve significant market acceptance. If acceptance is achieved, it may not be sustained for any significant period of time. Failure of our intended products and services to achieve or sustain market acceptance could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial conditions and the results of our operations.

Wuge may never gain significant acceptance in the marketplace and, therefore, may never generate substantial revenue or allow us to achieve or maintain profitability. Widespread adoption of Code Chain technology and IoT services in China depends on many factors, including acceptance by users that such systems and methods or other options. Our ability to achieve commercial market acceptance for Wuge or any other future products also depends on the strength of our sales, marketing and distribution organizations.

The threats to network and data security are increasingly diverse and sophisticated. Despite our efforts and processes to prevent breaches, Wuge’s products devices and those of third parties that we use in our operations are vulnerable to cyber security risks, including cyber attacks such as viruses and worms, phishing attacks, denial-of-service attacks, physical or electronic break-ins, employee theft or misuse, and similar disruptions from unauthorized tampering with our servers and computer systems or those of third parties that we use in our operations, which could lead to interruptions, delays, loss of critical data, and loss of consumer confidence.

In addition, we may be the target of email scams that attempt to acquire sensitive information or company assets. Despite our efforts to create security barriers to such threats, we may not be able to entirely mitigate these risks. Any cyber attack that attempts to obtain our data and assets, disrupt our service, or otherwise access our systems, or those of third parties we use, if successful, could adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial condition, be expensive to remedy, and damage our reputation.

The technology industries involving IoT devices, software and services are characterized by the existence of a large number of patents, copyrights, trademarks and trade secrets and by frequent litigation based on allegations of infringement or other violations of intellectual property rights. Much of this litigation involves patent holding companies or other adverse patent owners who have no relevant product revenues of their own, and against whom our own patent portfolio may provide little or no deterrence.

We cannot assure you that we, our subsidiaries or our variable interest entities will prevail in any future intellectual property infringement or other litigation given the complex technical issues and inherent uncertainties in such litigation. Defending such claims, regardless of their merit, could be time-consuming and distracting to management, result in costly litigation or settlement, cause development delays, or require us or our subsidiaries to enter into royalty or licensing agreements. In addition, we, our subsidiaries or our variable interest entities could be obligated to indemnify our customers against third parties’ claims of intellectual property infringement based on our products or solutions. If our products or solutions violate any third-party intellectual property rights, we could be required to withdraw them from the market, re-develop them or seek to obtain licenses from third parties, which might not be available on reasonable terms or at all. Any efforts to re-develop our products or solutions, obtain licenses from third parties on favorable terms or license a substitute technology might not be successful and, in any case, might substantially increase our costs and harm our business, financial condition and operating results. Withdrawal of any of our products or solutions from the market could harm our business, financial condition and operating results.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) Update

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus causing respiratory illness (“COVID-19”) surfaced in Wuhan, China, spreading at a fast rate in January and February of 2020, and confirmed cases were also reported in other parts of the world. In reaction to this outbreak, an increasing number of countries imposed travel suspensions to and from China following the World Health Organization’s “public health emergency of international concern” announcement on January 30, 2020. Since this outbreak, business activities in China and many other countries including U.S. have been disrupted by a series of emergency quarantine measures taken by the government.

As a result, our operations in China and U.S. have been materially affected. Our office in Hubei Province, China were closed since the lockdown was enforced on January 23, 2020. The economic disruption caused by COVID-19 were catastrophic for our waste management business in Wuhan, which had no revenue and negative operating income since the fourth quarter of 2019 and no revenue or operating income for the first and second quarter of 2020. We lost employees, suppliers and customers and were not been able to recover. As a result, we sold our businesses located in Wuhan. See “Our Company – Corporate History – Disposition of China Sunlong”. Our offices in Jiangsu Province and Sichuan Province in China were temporarily closed from early February until early March 2020. We have seen a slowdown in revenue growth in fiscal year 2020 and the first quarter of 2021.

The extent to which COVID-19 negatively impacts our business is highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted. We believe that the coronavirus outbreak and the measures taken to control it may have a significant negative impact on not only our business, but economic activities globally. The magnitude of this negative effect on the continuity of our business operation in China and in the U.S. remains uncertain. These uncertainties impede our ability to conduct our daily operations and could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, and as a result could adversely affect our stock price and create more volatility.
