2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).
Going Concern
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business are dependent on, among other things, the Company’s ability to operate profitably, to generate cash flows from operations, and to pursue financing arrangements to support its working capital requirements.
In assessing the Company’s liquidity, the Company monitors and analyzes its cash and cash equivalents and its operating and capital expenditure commitments. The Company’s liquidity needs are to meet its working capital requirements, operating expenses and capital expenditure obligations. As of December 31, 2021, the Company’s current liabilities exceeded the current assets by $6,616,933, its accumulated deficit was $3,970,102 and the Company has incurred losses during the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. None of the Company’s stockholders, officers or directors, or third parties, are under any obligation to advance us funds, or to invest in us. Accordingly, we may not be able to obtain additional financing. If we are unable to raise additional capital, we may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of our business plan, and reducing overhead expenses. We cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to us on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.
In evaluating if there is substantial doubt about the ability to continue as a going concern, the Company are trying to alleviate the going concern risk through (1) increasing cash generated from operations by controlling operating expenses and increasing more online and offline training sessions to bring in more training revenue, (2) financing from domestic banks and other financial institutions, and (3) equity or debt financing. The Company has certain plans to mitigate these adverse conditions and to increase the liquidity.
On an on-going basis, the Company will also receive financial support commitments from the Company’s related parties.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management of the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, costs and expenses, and related disclosures. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Identified below are the accounting policies that reflect the Company’s most significant estimates and judgments, and those that the Company believes are the most critical to fully understanding and evaluating its interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
COVID-19 Outbreak
In March 2020 the World Health Organization declared coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the global economy, workforces, customers, and created significant volatility and disruption of financial markets. It has also disrupted the normal operations of many businesses, including ours. This outbreak could decrease spending, adversely affect demand for our services and harm our business and results of operations. It is not possible for us to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak and its effects on our business or results of operations at this time.

Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenues when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company recognizes revenues following the five step model prescribed under ASU No. 2014-09: (i) identify contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenues when (or as) the Company satisfies the performance obligation.
Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, which may occur at a point in time or over time depending on the terms and conditions of the agreement, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.
The Company identified the following performance obligations for each type of contract:
Training Revenue
The Company’s offline training course service primarily includes assigning instructors, providing offline classes and presenting training materials to the course participants who attend the classes. The series of tasks as discussed above are interrelated and are not separable or distinct as the clients cannot benefit from the standalone task.
The Company’s online training course service primarily includes coursewares or videos which are already published on the website. Other than providing the access, there are no bundle or multiple separable and distinct tasks.
According to ASC 606-10-25-19, there is one performance obligation for the training course service.
China Good Student Project Revenue
The Company’s China Good Student Project includes assisting in both promoting the program and organizing activities for the course participants. Those tasks are not separable and the course participants cannot benefit from the standalone task as defined under ASC 606-10-25-19.
Thus, there is only one performance obligation with respect to the China Good Student Project service.
Mobile Phone Revenue
The Company’s sales contracts of anti-addiction mobile phone device provide that the Company provides multiple delivery of the product specified in the contracts. The contacts identify the quantity, product model, product type and unit price of the product that will be sold to our customers. The contracts allow the customers to place separate orders within the credit limit as specified in the contracts. The delivery is based on the quantity the customers order. The Company’s customers can benefit from the mobile phone devices every time it delivers to them. Therefore, the delivery of the products is separately identifiable and distinct.
Hence, there are multiple performance obligations in each of the sale contracts of anti-addiction mobile phone device.
Practical expedients and exemption
The Company has not occurred any costs to obtain contracts, and does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected length of one year or less.
Other service income is earned when services have been rendered.

Income Taxes
We account for income taxes using the liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be in effect in the period in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
We apply ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, to account for uncertainty in income taxes and the evaluation of a tax position is a two-step process. The first step is to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of any related appeals or litigation based on the technical merits of that position. The second step is to measure a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not threshold to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the financial statements. A tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Tax positions that previously failed to meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold should be recognized in the first subsequent period in which the threshold is met. Previously recognized tax positions that no longer meet the more-likely-than-not criteria should be de-recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which the threshold is no longer met.
Foreign Currency and Foreign Currency Translation
The functional currency of the Company is the United States dollar (“US dollar”). Fengyuan Beijing, Zhuoxun Beijing, and Zhuoxun Beijing’s subsidiaries, all of which are based in PRC, use the local currency, the Chinese Yuan (“RMB”), as their functional currencies. An entity’s functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates, normally that is the currency of the environment in which the entity primarily generates and expends cash. Management’s judgment is essential to determine the functional currency by assessing various indicators, such as cash flows, sales price and market, expenses, financing and inter-company transactions and arrangements.
Foreign currency transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are re-measured at the applicable rates of exchange in effect at that date. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency re-measurement are included in the statements of comprehensive loss.
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars. Assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date, and revenues and expenses are translated at the average of the exchange rates in effect during the reporting period. Stockholders’ equity accounts are translated using the historical exchange rates at the date the entry to stockholders’ equity was recorded, except for the change in retained earnings during the period, which is translated using the historical exchange rates used to translate each period’s income statement. Differences resulting from translating functional currencies to the reporting currency are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income in the interim condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Translation of amounts from RMB into U.S. dollars has been made at the following exchange rates:
Balance sheet items, except for equity accounts | ||
December 31, 2021 | RMB6.3726 to $1 | |
September 30, 2021 | RMB6.4567 to $1 | |

For the three months ended December 31, 2021 | RMB6.3914 to $1 | |
For the three months ended December 31, 2020 | RMB6.6235 to $1 |
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and at banks and highly liquid investments, which are unrestricted from withdrawal or use, and which have original maturities of three months or less when purchased.
Other monetary funds
Other monetary funds consist of cash deposited in financial institutions other than banks.
Accounts Receivable, Net
The carrying value of accounts receivable is reduced by an allowance that reflects the Company’s best estimate of the amounts that will not be collected. The Company makes estimations of the collectability of accounts receivable. Many factors are considered in estimating the general allowance, including reviewing delinquent accounts receivable, performing an aging analysis and a customer credit analysis, and analyzing historical bad debt records and current economic trends.
The adoption of the new revenue standards did not change the Company’s historical accounting methods for its accounts receivable.
Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets consist primarily of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
Estimated useful lives (years) | ||||
Office and computer equipment | 5 | |||
Lease improvement | 3 | |||
Transportation equipment | 5 |

Expenditure for maintenance and repairs is expensed as incurred.
The gain or loss on the disposal of property, plant and equipment is the difference between the net sales proceeds and the lower of the carrying value or fair value less cost to sell the relevant assets and is recognized in general and administrative expenses in the interim condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets mainly comprise domain names and trademarks. Intangible assets are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization with no residual value. Amortization of intangible assets o is computed using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives.
The estimated useful lives of the Company’s intangible assets are listed below:
Estimated useful lives (years) | ||||
Software | 10 |
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
In accordance with ASC 360-10-35, the Company reviews the carrying values of long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Based on the existence of one or more indicators of impairment, the Company measures any impairment of long-lived assets using the projected discounted cash flow method at the asset group level. The estimation of future cash flows requires significant management judgment based on the Company’s historical results and anticipated results and is subject to many factors. The discount rate that is commensurate with the risk inherent in the Company’s business model is determined by its management. An impairment loss would be recorded if the Company determined that the carrying value of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. The impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying values of the assets exceed the fair value of the assets. No impairment has been recorded by the Company as of December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2021.
Credit risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2021, substantially all of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were held by major financial institutions located in the PRC, which management believes are of high credit quality.
For the credit risk related to trade accounts receivable, the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and, if necessary, maintains reserves for potential credit losses. Historically, such losses have been within management’s expectations.
Segments
The Company evaluates a reporting unit by first identifying its operating segments, and then evaluates each operating segment to determine if it includes one or more components that constitute a business. If there are components within an operating segment that meets the definition of a business, the Company evaluates those components to determine if they must be aggregated into one or more reporting units. If applicable, when determining if it is appropriate to aggregate different operating segments, the Company determines if the segments are economically similar and, if so, the operating segments are aggregated. The Company has only one major reportable segment in the periods presented.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
U.S. GAAP establishes a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring the fair value of financial instruments. This hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The three-tier fair value hierarchy is:
Level 1 – observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 – include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the market place.
Level 3 – unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.
The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts and other receivables, other current assets, accounts and other payables, and other short-term liabilities approximate their fair value due to their short maturities.
In accordance with ASC 825, for investments in financial instruments with a variable interest rate indexed to performance of underlying assets, the Company elected the fair value method at the date of initial recognition and carried these investments at fair value. Changes in the fair value are reflected in the accompanying interim condensed statements of operations and comprehensive loss as other income (expense). To estimate fair value, the Company refers to the quoted rate of return provided by banks at the end of each period using the discounted cash flow method. The Company classifies the valuation techniques that use these inputs as Level 2 of fair value measurements.
As of December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2021, the Company had no investments in financial instruments.

Restricted assets
Fengyuan Beijing, Zhuoxun Beijing, and Zhuoxun Beijing’s subsidiaries are restricted in their ability to transfer a portion of their net assets to the Company. The payment of dividends by entities organized in China is subject to limitations, procedures and formalities. Regulations in the PRC currently permit payment of dividends only out of accumulated profits as determined in accordance with accounting standards and regulations in China. Fengyuan Beijing, Zhuoxun Beijing and Zhuoxun Beijing’s subsidiaries are also required to set aside at least 10% of its after-tax profit based on PRC accounting standards each year to its statutory reserves account until the accumulative amount of such reserves reaches 50% of its respective registered capital. The aforementioned reserves can only be used for specific purposes and are not distributable as cash dividends.
In addition, the Company’s operations are conducted and revenues are generated in China, and all of the Company’s revenues earned and currency received are denominated in RMB. RMB is subject to the foreign exchange control regulation in China, and, as a result, the Company may be unable to distribute any dividends outside of China due to PRC foreign exchange control regulations that restrict the Company’s ability to convert RMB into U.S. dollars.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Adopted
Financial Instruments. In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13,“Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326)” (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 revises the methodology for measuring credit losses on financial instruments and the timing of when such losses are recorded. Originally, ASU 2016-13 was effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. In November 2019, FASB issued ASU 2019-10, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842).” This ASU defers the effective date of ASU 2016-13 for public companies that are considered smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is planning to adopt this standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2023.The Company is currently evaluating the potential effects of adopting the provisions of ASU No. 2016-13 on its consolidated financial statements.
In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-10, Codification Improvements. This update ensures all disclosure guidance that requires or provides an option for an entity to provide notes to the financial statements is included in the Disclosure Section (Section 50) of the Codification. This update also provides various codification improvements in which the original guidance was unclear. This update becomes effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020 and early adoption is permitted for any annual or interim period for which financial statements have not been issued. The Company does not expect the adoption of this new standard will have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations.
Except for the above-mentioned pronouncements, there are no new recent issued accounting standards that will have material impact on the consolidated financial position, statements of operations and cash flows.

Overview
On July 30, 2021, Gushen, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“GSHN” or the “Company”), Dyckmanst Limited, a company organized under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (“Dyckmanst Limited”), and all shareholders of Dyckmanst Limited immediately prior to the closing (collectively, the “Dyckmanst Limited Shareholders”, each, a “Dyckmanst Limited Shareholder”) entered into a share exchange agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding equity securities of Dyckmanst Limited in exchange for 381,600,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) of the Company (the “Share Exchange”). Immediately prior to the closing of the Share Exchange, two existing holders of aggregated 30,000,000 shares of Series A preferred stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”) delivered 29,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock to the Company for cancellation (“the “Cancellation of Certain Preferred Stock”), each Preferred Stock is convertible into 10 shares of Common Stock. As a result, immediately following the closing of the Share Exchange, there are 410,618,750 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding and 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. Dyckmanst Limited Shareholders collectively control 90.72% voting power of the Company on as converted basis, with respect to all of the shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock, voting as a single class, with each share of Common Stock entitles to 1 vote and each share of Preferred Stock entitles to 10 votes. The Share Exchange Agreement is incorporated by reference from the Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 6, 2021.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).
Use of Estimates
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management of the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, costs and expenses, and related disclosures. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Identified below are the accounting policies that reflect the Company’s most significant estimates and judgments, and those that the Company believes are the most critical to fully understanding and evaluating its consolidated financial statements.
COVID-19 Outbreak
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the global economy, workforces, customers, and created significant volatility and disruption of financial markets. It has also disrupted the normal operations of many businesses, including ours or Zhuoxun Beijing’s. This outbreak could decrease spending, adversely affect demand for our or Zhuoxun Beijing’s services and harm our or Zhuoxun Beijing’s business and results of operations. Zhuoxun Beijing’s main business would continue to be affected by China’s anti-epidemic measures such as restrictions on public gatherings in the COVID-19 pandemic. It is not possible for us to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak and its effects on Zhuoxun Beijing’s business or results of operations at this time.
Revenue Recognition
Zhuoxun Beijing recognizes revenues when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which Zhuoxun Beijing expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. Zhuoxun Beijing recognizes revenues following the five-step model prescribed under ASU No. 2014-09: (i) identify contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenues when (or as) it satisfies the performance obligation.
Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to its customers, which may occur at a point in time or over time depending on the terms and conditions of the agreement, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.
Zhuoxun Beijing identified the following performance obligations for each type of contract:
Training Revenue
Zhuoxun Beijing’s onsite training course service primarily includes assigning instructors, providing onsite classes and presenting training materials to the course participants who attend the classes. The series of tasks as discussed above are interrelated and are not separable or distinct as the customers cannot benefit from the standalone task.
Zhuoxun Beijing’s online training course service primarily includes courseware or videos which are already published on the website. Other than providing the access, there are no bundle or multiple separable and distinct tasks.
According to ASC 606-10-25-19, there is one performance obligation for the training course service.
20
Mobile Phone Revenue
Zhuoxun Beijing’s sales contracts of anti-addiction mobile phone device provide that it provides multiple delivery of the product specified in the contracts. The contacts identify the quantity, product model, product type and unit price of the product that will be sold to Zhuoxun Beijing’s customers. The contracts allow the customers to place separate orders within the credit limit as specified in the contracts. The delivery is based on the quantity of customers’ order. Zhuoxun Beijing’s customers can benefit from the mobile phone devices every time it delivers to them. Therefore, the delivery of the products is separately identifiable and distinct.
Hence, there are multiple performance obligations in each of the sale contracts of anti-addiction mobile phone device.
Practical expedients and exemption
Zhuoxun Beijing has not occurred any costs to obtain contracts, and does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected length of one year or less.
Other service income is earned when services have been rendered.
Income Taxes
We account for income taxes using the liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be in effect in the period in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
We apply ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, to account for uncertainty in income taxes and the evaluation of a tax position is a two-step process. The first step is to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of any related appeals or litigation based on the technical merits of that position. The second step is to measure a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not threshold to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the financial statements. A tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Tax positions that previously failed to meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold should be recognized in the first subsequent period in which the threshold is met. Previously recognized tax positions that no longer meet the more-likely-than-not criteria should be de-recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which the threshold is no longer met.
Foreign Currency and Foreign Currency Translation
The functional currency of the Company is the United States dollar (“US dollar”). Fengyuan Beijing, Zhuoxun Beijing and Zhuoxun Beijing’s subsidiaries, all of which are based in PRC, use the local currency, the Chinese Yuan (“RMB”), as their functional currencies. An entity’s functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates, normally that is the currency of the environment in which the entity primarily generates and expends cash. Management’s judgment is essential to determine the functional currency by assessing various indicators, such as cash flows, sales price and market, expenses, financing and inter-company transactions and arrangements.
Foreign currency transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are re-measured at the applicable rates of exchange in effect at that date. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency re-measurement are included in the statements of comprehensive loss.
The consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars. Assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date, and revenues and expenses are translated at the average of the exchange rates in effect during the reporting period. Stockholders’ equity accounts are translated using the historical exchange rates at the date the entry to stockholders’ equity was recorded, except for the change in retained earnings during the period, which is translated using the historical exchange rates used to translate each period’s income statement. Differences resulting from translating functional currencies to the reporting currency are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income in the consolidated balance sheets.
21
Translation of amounts from RMB into U.S. dollars has been made at the following exchange rates:
Balance sheet items, except for equity accounts | ||||
December 31, 2021 | RMB6.3726 to $1 | |||
September 30, 2021 | RMB6.4567 to $1 | |||
Income statement and cash flows items | ||||
For the three months ended December 31, 2021 | RMB6.3914 to $1 | |||
For the three months ended December 31, 2020 | RMB6.6235 to $1 |
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and at banks and highly liquid investments, which are unrestricted from withdrawal or use, and which have original maturities of year or less when purchased.
Accounts Receivable, Net
The carrying value of accounts receivable is reduced by an allowance that reflects the Company’s best estimate of the amounts that will not be collected. The Company makes estimations of the collectability of accounts receivable. Many factors are considered in estimating the general allowance, including reviewing delinquent accounts receivable, performing an aging analysis and a customer credit analysis, and analyzing historical bad debt records and current economic trends.
The adoption of the new revenue standards did not change the Company’s historical accounting methods for its accounts receivable.
Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets consist primarily of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
Estimated useful lives (years) | |||
Office and computer equipment | 5 | ||
Lease improvement | 3 |
Expenditure for maintenance and repairs is expensed as incurred.
The gain or loss on the disposal of property, plant and equipment is the difference between the net sales proceeds and the lower of the carrying value or fair value less cost to the relevant assets and is recognized in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets mainly comprise domain names and trademarks. Intangible assets are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization with no residual value. Amortization of intangible assets o is computed using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives.
The estimated useful lives of the Company’s intangible assets are listed below:
Estimated useful lives (years) | ||||
Software | 10 | |||
22
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
In accordance with ASC 360-10-35, the Company reviews the carrying values of long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Based on the existence of one or more indicators of impairment, the Company measures any impairment of long-lived assets using the projected discounted cash flow method at the asset group level. The estimation of future cash flows requires significant management judgment based on the Company’s historical results and anticipated results and is subject to many factors. The discount rate that is commensurate with the risk inherent in the Company’s business model is determined by its management. An impairment loss would be recorded if the Company determined that the carrying value of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. The impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying values of the assets exceed the fair value of the assets. No impairment has been recorded by the Company as of December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2021.
Credit risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, substantially all of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were held by major financial institutions located in the PRC, which management believes are of high credit quality.
For the credit risk related to trade accounts receivable, the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and, if necessary, maintains reserves for potential credit losses. Historically, such losses have been within management’s expectations.
Segments
The Company evaluates a reporting unit by first identifying its operating segments, and then evaluates each operating segment to determine if it includes one or more components that constitute a business. If there are components within an operating segment that meets the definition of a business, the Company evaluates those components to determine if they must be aggregated into one or more reporting units. If applicable, when determining if it is appropriate to aggregate different operating segments, the Company determines if the segments are economically similar and, if so, the operating segments are aggregated. The Company has only one major reportable segment in the periods presented.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
U.S. GAAP establishes a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring the fair value of financial instruments. This hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The three-tier fair value hierarchy is:
Level 1 – observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 – include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the market place
Level 3 – unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity
The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts and other receivables, other current assets, accounts and other payables, and other short-term liabilities approximate their fair value due to their short maturities.
In accordance with ASC 825, for investments in financial instruments with a variable interest rate indexed to performance of underlying assets, the Company elected the fair value method at the date of initial recognition and carried these investments at fair value. Changes in the fair value are reflected in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss as other income (expense). To estimate fair value, the Company refers to the quoted rate of return provided by banks at the end of each period using the discounted cash flow method. The Company classifies the valuation techniques that use these inputs as Level 2 of fair value measurements.
As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had no investments in financial instruments.
Restricted assets
Fengyuan Beijing, Zhuoxun Beijing and Zhuoxun Beijing’s subsidiaries are restricted in their ability to transfer a portion of their net assets to the Company. The payment of dividends by entities organized in China is subject to limitations, procedures and formalities. Regulations in the PRC currently permit payment of dividends only out of accumulated profits as determined in accordance with accounting standards and regulations in China. Fengyuan Beijing, Zhuoxun Beijing and Zhuoxun Beijing’s subsidiaries are also required to set aside at least 10% of its after-tax profit based on PRC accounting standards each year to its statutory reserves account until the accumulative amount of such reserves reaches 50% of its respective registered capital. The aforementioned reserves can only be used for specific purposes and are not distributable as cash dividends.
In addition, the Company’s operations are conducted and revenues are generated in China, and all of the Company’s revenues earned and currency received are denominated in RMB. RMB is subject to the foreign exchange control regulation in China, and, as a result, the Company may be unable to distribute any dividends outside of China due to PRC foreign exchange control regulations that restrict the Company’s ability to convert RMB into U.S. dollars.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
Adoption of ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Topic 606, which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605. The Company adopted Topic 606 as of the inception date.
Adoption of ASC Topic 842, “Leases”
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, Leases (ASC Topic 842), which amends the leases requirements in ASC Topic 840, Leases.
The Company adopted ASC Topic 842 using the modified retrospective transition method effective the inception date. There was no cumulative effect of initially applying ASC Topic 842 that required an adjustment to the opening retained earnings on the adoption date. See Note 2 “Leases” above for further details.
Accounting Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Adopted
Financial Instruments. In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326)” (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 revises the methodology for measuring credit losses on financial instruments and the timing of when such losses are recorded. Originally, ASU 2016-13 was effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. In November 2019, FASB issued ASU 2019-10, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842).” This ASU defers the effective date of ASU 2016-13 for public companies that are considered smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is planning to adopt this standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2023.The Company is currently evaluating the potential effects of adopting the provisions of ASU No. 2016-13 on its consolidated financial statements.
In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-10, Codification Improvements. This update ensures all disclosure guidance that requires or provides an option for an entity to provide notes to the financial statements is included in the Disclosure Section (Section 50) of the Codification. This update also provides various codification improvements in which the original guidance was unclear. This update becomes effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020 and early adoption is permitted for any annual or interim period for which financial statements have not been issued. The Company does not expect the adoption of this new standard will have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations.

Going Concern Uncertainties
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern.
As of December 31, 2021, we had working capital deficit of $ $6,616,933.
As of December 31, 2021, our cash balance was $1,479,378 and our current liabilities exceeded current assets by $6,616,933 which together with continued losses from operations raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s operating results for future periods are subject to uncertainties and it is uncertain if the management will be able to achieve profitability and continued growth for the foreseeable future. If the management is not able to increase revenue and manage operating expenses in line with revenue forecasts, the Company may not be able to achieve profitability.
The Company’s actions to improve operation efficiency, cost reduction, and enhance core cash-generating business include the following: seeking advances from the major shareholders, pursuing additional public and/or private issuance of securities, and looking for strategic business partners to optimize our operations.
We have considered whether there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern due to our working capital deficit of $ $6,616,933, accumulated deficit of $3,970,102 and net losses incurred during the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.
In evaluating if there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, we have certain plans to mitigate these adverse conditions and increase the liquidity of the Company and are trying to alleviate the going concern risk through (1) increasing cash generated from operations by controlling operating expenses and increasing more live steaming e-commerce events to bring up e-commerce revenue, (2) financing from domestic banks and other financial institutions, and (3) equity or debt financing.
On an on-going basis, the Company will also receive financial support commitments from the Company’s related parties.
Our continued operations are highly dependent upon our ability to increase revenues and if needed complete equity and/or debt financing. However, if we are unable to obtain the necessary additional capital on a timely basis and on acceptable terms, we may be required to delay, scale back or eliminate some or all of our planned operations and may be unable to repay debt obligations or respond to competitive market pressures, which will have a material adverse effect upon our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. Under such circumstance, we may be required to delay, scale back or eliminate some or all of our planned operations, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and ability to operate as a going concern.
Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $1,199,938 for the three months ended December 31, 2021, as compared to $686,281 net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended December 31, 2020. The net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended December 31, 2021 was mainly due to our net loss of $1,360,454, an increase in amortization of prepaid expenses of $150,242, partially offset by the decrease in other receivable of $47,843. The net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended December 31, 2020 was mainly due to our net loss of $2,072,425, an increase in amortization of prepaid expenses of $1,196,043, a decrease in other receivable of $ 753,492, partially offset by payments to suppliers of $432,613.

Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $10,971 for the three months ended December 31, 2021, as compared to nil for the three months ended December 31, 2020. The net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended December 31, 2021 was mainly attributable to purchase of property, plant and equipment.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.
Critical Accounting Principles
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with US GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results can, and in many cases will, differ from those estimates. We have not identified any critical accounting policies.
Limited Operating History; Need for Additional Capital
There is limited historical financial information about the Company on which to base an evaluation of its performance. There is no guarantee on the continued success in its business operations. The business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including limited capital resources, a narrow client base, limited sources of revenue, and possible cost overruns due to the price and cost increases in supplies and services.
Without additional funding, management believes that the Company will not have sufficient funds to meet its obligations beyond one year after the date our condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. These conditions give rise to substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company has been, and intend to continue, working toward identifying and obtaining new sources of financing. To date it has been dependent on related parties for its source of funding. No assurances can be given that it will be successful in obtaining additional financing in the future. Any future financing that it may obtain may cause significant dilution to existing stockholders. Any debt financing or other financing of securities senior to Common Stock that it is able to obtain will likely include financial and other covenants that will restrict its flexibility. Any failure to comply with these covenants would have a negative impact on its business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
If adequate funds are not available, it may be required to delay, scale back or eliminate portions of it or Zhuoxun Beijing’s operations or obtain funds through arrangements with strategic partners or others that may require us to relinquish rights to certain of our assets. Accordingly, the inability to obtain such financing could result in a significant loss of ownership and/or control of our assets and could also adversely affect the Company’s ability to fund it or Zhuoxun Beijing’s continued operations and expansion efforts.
During the next 12 months, the Company expect to incur the same amount of expenses each month. However, as Zhuoxun Beijing works to expand its operations, it expects to incur significant research, marketing and development costs and expenses on Zhuoxun Beijing’s online service platforms that meet the constantly evolving industry standards and consumer demands.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our senior management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded as of the Evaluation Date that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective such that the information relating to us required to be disclosed in our SEC reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company’s former management abandoned all operations for several years, and only recently did the Company appoint new management to make filings with the SEC on behalf of the Company.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter covered by this report that has materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
