Forward-looking statements
Statements made in this Form 10-K that are not
historical or current facts are “forward-looking statements” made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of
the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These statements often can
be identified by the use of terms such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,”
“estimate,” “approximate” or “continue,” or the negative thereof. We intend that such forward-looking
statements be subject to the safe harbors for such statements. We wish to caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking
statements, which speak only as of the date made. Any forward-looking statements represent management’s best judgment as to what
may occur in the future. However, forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and important factors beyond our control
that could cause actual results and events to differ materially from historical results of operations and events and those presently
anticipated or projected. We disclaim any obligation subsequently to revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances
after the date of such statement or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.
Financial information contained in this report
and in our financial statements is stated in United States dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted
accounting principles.
Our shares of commons stock are shares of Addentax
Group Corp., our Nevada holding company, which has no material operations of its own and conducts substantially all of its operations
through the operating companies established in the People’s Republic of China, or the PRC, primarily Shenzhen Qianhai Yingxi Industrial
Chain Service Co., Ltd. (“YX”), our wholly owned subsidiary and its subsidiaries. We are not a Chinese operating company.
We are a holding company and do not directly own any substantive business operations in the China. Therefore, our investors will not
directly hold any equity interests in our Chinese operating companies. Our holding company structure involves unique risks to investors.
Chinese regulatory authorities could disallow our operating structure, which would likely result in a material change in our operations
and/or the value of our common stock, including that it could cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or become worthless.
For a detailed description of risks related to the holding corporate structure, see “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Our Holding
Company Structure” for detailed discussions.
Additionally, as we conduct substantially all
of our operations through the operating companies established in the PRC, we are subject to certain legal and operational risks associated
with our business operations in China. PRC laws and regulations governing our current business operations are sometimes vague and uncertain,
and we face the risk that changes in the policies of the PRC government could have a significant impact upon the business we may be able
to conduct in the PRC and the profitability of such business. Therefore, these risks associated being based in or having substantially
all of our operations through the operating companies established in China could cause the value of our securities to significantly decline
or be worthless. Furthermore, these risks may result in a material change in our business operations or a complete hinderance of our
ability to offer or continue to offer our securities to investors. Recently, the PRC government initiated a series of regulatory actions
and statements to regulate business operations in China with little advance notice, including cracking down on illegal activities in
the securities market, enhancing supervision over China-based companies listed overseas using variable interest entity structure, adopting
new measures to extend the scope of cybersecurity reviews, and expanding the efforts in anti-monopoly enforcement. As confirmed by our
PRC counsel, the business of our subsidiaries until now are not subject to cybersecurity review with the Cyberspace Administration of
China, or CAC, given that: (i) our products and services are offered not directly to individual users but through our institutional customers;
(ii) we do not possess a large amount of personal information in our business operations; and (iii) data processed in our business does
not have a bearing on national security and thus may not be classified as core or important data by the authorities. In addition, as
confirmed by our PRC counsel, we are not subject to merger control review by China’s anti-monopoly enforcement agency due to the
level of our revenues which provided from us and audited by our auditor BF Borgers CPA PC, and the fact that we currently do not expect
to propose or implement any acquisition of control of, or decisive influence over, any company with revenues within China of more than
RMB400 million. Currently, these statements and regulatory actions have had no impact on our daily business operation, the ability to
accept foreign investments and list our securities on an U.S. or other foreign exchange. As of the date of this annual report, no effective
laws or regulations in the PRC explicitly require us to seek approval from the China Securities Regulatory Commission (the “CSRC”)
or any other PRC governmental authorities for our overseas listing, nor has our company or any of our subsidiaries received any inquiry,
notice, warning or sanctions regarding our overseas listing from the CSRC or any other PRC governmental authorities. However, since these
statements and regulatory actions are new, it is highly uncertain how soon legislative or administrative regulation making bodies will
respond and what existing or new laws or regulations or detailed implementations and interpretations will be modified or promulgated,
if any, and the potential impact such modified or new laws and regulations will have on our daily business operation, the ability to
accept foreign investments and list our securities on an U.S. or other foreign exchange. See “Risk Factors” beginning on
page 16 for a discussion of these legal and operational risks and other information that should be considered before making a decision
to purchase our common stock.
3
As a holding company, our ability to pay dividends
to our shareholders and to service any debt we may incur may depend upon dividends paid by our PRC Subsidiaries. Current PRC regulations
permit our PRC Subsidiaries to pay dividends to us through Yingxi Industrial Chain Investment Co., Ltd. (“Yingxi HK”), our
intermediate holding subsidiary in Hong Kong, only out of their accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with Chinese accounting
standards and regulations. In addition, each of our PRC Subsidiaries is required to set aside at least 10% of its after-tax profits each
year, if any, to fund a statutory reserve until such reserve reaches 50% of its registered capital. As of the date hereof, we have had
no transactions that involved the transfer of cash or assets throughout our corporate structure. The PRC Subsidiaries have not transferred
cash or other assets to Addentax, including by way of dividends. Addentax does not currently plan or anticipate transferring cash or
other assets from our operations in China to any non-Chinese entity. As of the date hereof, no transfers, dividends, or distributions
have been made to our investors.
Pursuant to the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable
Act (“HFCAA”), the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (the “PCAOB”) issued a Determination
Report on December 16, 2021 which found that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms
headquartered in: (1) mainland China of the People’s Republic of China because of a position taken by one or more authorities in
mainland China; and (2) Hong Kong, a Special Administrative Region and dependency of the PRC, because of a position taken by one or more
authorities in Hong Kong. In addition, the PCAOB’s report identified the specific registered public accounting firms which are
subject to these determinations. Our registered public accounting firm, BF Borgers CPA PC, is not headquartered in mainland China or
Hong Kong and was not identified in this report as a firm subject to the PCAOB’s determinations. BF Borgers CPA PC is registered
with the PCAOB and is subject to laws in the United States pursuant to which the PCAOB conducts regular inspections to assess BF Borgers
CPA PC’s compliance with applicable professional standards. BF Borgers CPA PC has been inspected by the PCAOB on a regular basis,
with the last inspection in November and December of 2021. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the PCAOB is not able to fully conduct inspections
of our auditor’s work papers in China, you may be deprived of the benefits of such inspection which could result in limitation
or restriction to our access to the U.S. capital markets and trading of our securities may be prohibited under the HFCAA. Furthermore,
on June 22, 2021, the U.S. Senate passed the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (“AHFCAA”), which, if
enacted, would amend the HFCAA and require the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to prohibit an issuer’s securities from
trading on any U.S. stock exchanges if its auditor is not subject to PCAOB inspections for two consecutive years instead of three. If
the AHFCAA is enacted, and if we are subject to it, it would decrease the number of “non-inspection years” from three years
to two years, and thus, would reduce the time before our securities may be prohibited from trading or delisted.
Summary of Risk Factors
Investing in our common stock involves a high
degree of risk. Below is a summary of material factors that make an investment in our common stock speculative or risky. Importantly,
this summary does not address all of the risks that we face. Please refer to the information contained in and incorporated by reference
under the heading “Risk Factors” on page 16 of this annual report.
4
Risks Associated with Our Company
●
Our success depends
on our customer’s ability to market and sell their products manufactured by us.
●
Our future expansion
plans are subject to uncertainties and risks.
●
Future price increases
in raw materials or changes in the supply of raw materials may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition
and results of operations.
●
Future increases in
cost of epidemic prevention supplies or changes in the demand and supply may materially and adversely affect our business, financial
condition and results of operations.
●
Any labor shortages,
increased labor costs or other factors affecting labor supply for our production materials may materially and adversely affect our
business operations.
●
If we are unable to attract additional customers
and clients to purchase our services (and future products we may develop or sell) it will have a negative effect on our ability to
generate the revenue.
●
A recent joint statement
by the SEC and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), or the “PCAOB,” proposed rule changes submitted
by Nasdaq, and the newly enacted “Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act” all call for additional and more stringent
criteria to be applied to emerging market companies upon assessing the qualification of their auditors, especially the non-U.S. auditors
who are not inspected by the PCAOB. These developments could add uncertainties to investing in us.
●
There are uncertainties
under the PRC Securities Law relating to the procedures and requisite timing for the U.S. securities regulatory agencies to conduct
investigations and collect evidence within the territory of the PRC.
●
We face risks associated
with future Chinese regulations.
●
We may be exposed to
concentration risk of heavy reliance on third-party contractors for our logistic business, and any shortage of third-party contractors
may significantly impact on our business and results of operation.
●
If we are unable to
control the reliance of third-party contractors efficiently and effectively, our business prospects and results of operations may
be materially and adversely affected.
●
We have a limited operating
history for the new business segment of property management and subleasing, which makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects
and may increase the risk that we will not be successful. In addition, our historical growth rates and profitability may not be indicative
of our future growth and profitability.
●
Natural disasters, public
health crises or other catastrophic events may significantly limit our ability to conduct business as normal, disrupt our business
operation and materially affect our financial condition.
●
We may not succeed in
continuing to maintain, protect and strengthen our reputation, and any negative publicity about us, our business, our management,
our business partners, may materially and adversely affect our reputation, business, results of operations and growth.
5
General
Risks Associated with Business Operations in China
●
Investors may have difficulty
enforcing judgments against us.
●
Changes in the policies,
regulations, rules and the enforcement of laws of the PRC government may be quick with little advance notice and could have a significant
impact upon the business we may be able to conduct in the PRC and the profitability of such business.
●
The Chinese government
may intervene or influence our operations at any time, or may exert more control over offerings conducted overseas and/or foreign
investment in China-based issuers, which could result in a material change in our operations and/or the value of your common stock.
●
Any actions by the Chinese
government to exert more oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in China-based
issuers could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause
the value of such securities to significantly decline or be worthless.
●
Foreign exchange fluctuations
may affect our business.
●
Inflation could pose
a risk to our business.
●
There are uncertainties
regarding the interpretation and enforcement of PRC laws, rules and regulations.
●
PRC regulations regarding
acquisitions impose significant regulatory approval and review requirements, which could make it more difficult for us to pursue
growth through acquisitions.
●
While the approval of
the China Securities Regulatory Commission is not currently required for our offerings, it may be required in the future in connection
with our offerings under the M&A Rules and, if required, we cannot predict whether we will be able to obtain such approval.
●
Our business may be
subject to a variety of PRC laws and other obligations regarding cybersecurity and data protection.
●
PRC regulations relating
to investments in offshore companies by PRC residents may subject our PRC-resident beneficial owners or our PRC Subsidiaries to liability
or penalties, limit our ability to inject capital into our PRC Subsidiaries or limit our PRC Subsidiaries’ ability to increase
their registered capital or distribute profits.
●
We may be treated as a resident enterprise
for PRC tax purposes under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, and we may therefore be subject to PRC income tax on our global income.
●
Restrictions on currency exchange may limit
our ability to utilize our PRC revenue effectively.
●
The disclosures in our reports and other filings
with the SEC and our other public pronouncements are not subject to the scrutiny of any regulatory bodies in the PRC.
●
Introduction of new
laws or changes to existing laws by the PRC government may adversely affect our business.
6
Risks Relating to Our Holding Company Structure
●
Substantial uncertainties
exist with respect to the interpretation and implementation of the newly enacted Foreign Investment Law and how it may impact the
viability of our current corporate structure, corporate governance and business operations..
●
We may rely on dividends
and other distributions on equity paid by our PRC Subsidiaries to fund any cash and financing requirements we may have, and any limitation
on the ability of our PRC Subsidiaries to make payments to us could have a material and adverse effect on our ability to conduct
our business.
●
PRC regulation of loans
to and direct investment in PRC entities by offshore holding companies and governmental control of currency conversion may delay
or prevent us from using the proceeds of our offerings to make loans or additional capital contributions to our PRC Subsidiaries,
which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand our business.
Risks Relating to Our Common Stock
●
We may never be able to pay dividends and
are unlikely to do so.
●
The market price of
our shares is likely to be highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors.
●
Shareholders may be
diluted significantly through our efforts to obtain financing and satisfy obligations through the issuance of securities..

1. Business
Addentax
Group Corp. was incorporated in the State of Nevada on October 28, 2014. We were originally incorporated to produce images on multiple
surfaces, such as glass, leather, plastic, ceramic, textile, and others using a 3D sublimation vacuum heat transfer machine. We no longer
pursue opportunities related to 3D printing positioning.
On December
28, 2016, we entered into a Sale and Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) with Yingxi Industrial Chain Group Co., Ltd. (“YICG”),
which was incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Seychelles and principally engaged in garment manufacture, where we agreed to
acquire 100% of the equity interest in YICG and to issue five hundred million (500,000,000) restricted common shares of the Company to
YICG. The completion of the SPA took place on September 25, 2017. Following the completion of the SPA, YICG’s business became our
business.
We
have a fiscal year-end of March 31. The business office is located at Kingkey 100, Block A, Room 4805, Luohu District, Shenzhen

or the PRC, primarily Shenzhen Qianhai Yingxi Industrial Chain Service Co., Ltd. (“YX”), our wholly owned subsidiary and
its subsidiaries. We are not a Chinese operating company. We are a holding company and do not directly own any substantive business operations
in China. Our holding company structure involves unique risks to investors. Chinese regulatory authorities could disallow our operating
structure, which would likely result in a material change in our operations and/or the value of our common stock, including that it could
cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or become worthless. Our holding company, Addentax Group Corp., is listed
on the OTCQB under the symbol of “ATXG”. We classify our businesses into four segments: garment manufacturing, logistics
services, property management and subleasing, and epidemic prevention supplies.

Our
garment manufacturing business consists of sales made principally to wholesaler located in the PRC. We have our own manufacturing facilities,
with sufficient production capacity and skilled workers on production lines to ensure that we meet our high quality control standards
and timely meet the delivery requirements for our customers. We conduct our garment manufacturing operations through four wholly owned
subsidiaries, namely Dongguan Heng Sheng Wei Garments Co., Ltd (“HSW”), Dongguan Yushang Clothing Co., Ltd (“YS”),
Shantou Yi Bai Yi Garment Co., Ltd (“YBY”), and Shantou Chenghai Dai Tou Garments Co., Ltd (“DT”), which are
located in the Guangdong province, China. In October 2020, the Company disposed of DT to a third party at fair value, which was also
its carrying value as of September 30, 2020.
Our
logistics business consists of delivery and courier services covering 79 cities in seven provinces and two municipalities in China. Although
we have our own motor vehicles and drivers, we currently outsource some of the business to our contractors. We believe outsourcing allows
us to maximize our capacity and maintain flexibility while reducing capital expenditures and the costs of keeping drivers during slow
seasons. We conduct our logistic operations through four wholly owned subsidiaries, namely Shenzhen Xin Kuai Jie Transportation Co.,
Ltd (“XKJ”), Shenzhen Hua Peng Fa Logistic Co., Ltd (“HPF”), Shenzhen Yingxi Peng Fa Logistic Co., Ltd (“PF”)
and Shenzhen Yingxi Tongda Logistic Co., Ltd (“TD”), which are located in the Guangdong province, China. In November 2020,
the Company disposed of HPF to a third party at fair value, which was also its carrying value as of November 30, 2020.
The
business operations, customers and suppliers of DT and HPF were retained by the Company; therefore, the disposition of the two subsidiaries
did not qualify as discontinued operations.
Our
property management and subleasing business provides shops subleasing and property management services for garment wholesalers and retailers
in garment market. We conduct our property management and subleasing operation through a wholly owned subsidiary, namely Dongguan Yingxi
Daying Commercial Co., Ltd. (“DY”), which is located in the Guangdong province, China.
Our
epidemic prevention supplies business consists of manufacturing and distribution of epidemic prevention products and resale of epidemic
prevention supplies purchased from third parties in both domestic and overseas markets. We conduct our manufacturing of the epidemic
prevention products in Dongguan Yushang Clothing Co., Ltd (“YS”). We conduct the trading of epidemic prevention suppliers
through Addentax and Shenzhen Qianhai Yingxi Industrial Chain Services Co., Ltd (“YX”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Company, which is located in the Guangdong province in China.
Competitive
Strengths
We
believe we have the following competitive strengths:
Cost-effective
production. We have adopted a vertical integration production process. We produce garments in our own production facilities and employ
our in-house transport teams to deliver garments to our customers. This one-stop service optimizes production efficiency and saves costs
by lowering the cost per unit, thereby achieving economies of scale.
Stringent
quality control process. As of March 31, 2022, we had seven employees in the production department
that are responsible for conducting our quality control process. We implement a stringent quality control process which monitors various
stages of our garment manufacturing business, including sampling checks of semi-finished products and finished products. We prepare inspection
reports to address the quality problems and make recommendations to improve the quality of our products. During final product inspection,
we pay special attention to the measurements, workmanship, ironing and packaging of our products to help best ensure that the quality
of our products comply with the specifications, standards and requirements of our customers.
Strong
design capabilities. Our design team works closely with our customers to understand their needs and make recommendations to them.
Our design team also conducts market research and attends industry exhibitions to understand the latest market trends. As of March 31,
2022, our design team consisted of five members.
9
Extensive
delivery network. Our logistics business has nine routes and covers 79 cities in seven provinces and two municipalities in the PRC.
Stable
Production Supply Chain. We integrated various epidemic prevention suppliers located in China & Malaysia and established strategic
cooperation relationship with them, which can help us to purchase the epidemic prevention products in competitive lower price and stable
supply. We also received mask production license from relevant governance and some of the products we manufactured passed the inspection
of quality inspection agency.
Business
Strategies
Key
elements of our business and growth strategies include the following:
Sales
of raw materials. We intend to enter into exclusive agreements with textile and garment suppliers in Southeast China to be their
exclusive agent and supply their textiles and garments to our customers. To execute this plan, we intend to set up several retailers
for the sales of textiles and garments to retail customers and supply the textiles and garments exclusively to various high-end fashion
brands.
Development
of our own brands. We intend to develop our own brands that focus on fast fashion with teenagers being our primary target customers.
We plan to adopt a low-cost strategy at the early stage and improve the quality of our products after increasing our market share. We
are in the process of registering a trademark for our own brand and intend to start our advertising campaign after the registration of
this trademark. We plan to distribute our products in different channels, including our own retailers, co-operative retailers and franchisees.
Expand
our delivery network. As of March 31, 2022, we provided logistics services to over 79 cities in seven provinces and two municipalities
in the PRC. We expect to develop 20 additional logistics routes in existing serving cities and improve the Company’s profits
in the year of 2023.
Develop
international logistics services and warehousing services. We intend to develop international logistics services for customers located
all over the world and international warehousing services.
Development
of international trading. We developed our international trading during the global epidemic situation of Covid-19 to import and export
diverse epidemic protection products including medical masks, latex gloves etc.
Develop
E-commerce business. We integrated resources in shopping mall, intend to develop e-commerce bases and the internet celebrity economy
together to drive to increase the value of the stores in the area.
Develop
our epidemic prevention supply chain. We intend to develop our own epidemic prevention supply
chain as we see the potential and opportunity of medical and health industry. We expect to establish a one-step epidemic prevention supply
chain from product manufacturing line establishment to sales networking construction. Currently, we are focusing on the civil mask market
in China and provide cost-effective masks to customers. We will improve our product quality constantly and develop oversee markets.

Our
garment manufacturing business
We
manufacture garments for various high-end fashion brands through our wholly-owned subsidiaries, HSW, YS, and YBY, which are located in
Guangdong, the PRC. We sold DT to another third party in October 2020, for consideration of $604,773, equal to the carrying
amount of its net assets.
Operations
Our
customer relationship team is responsible for cultivating and maintaining our relationship with customers.
Our
design team works closely with our customer relationship team to understand our customers’ needs and make recommendations to them
based on their designs.
Our
fabric team leverages our experience in fabric sourcing as well as our understanding in fabric features to recommend the types of fabric
to be used in our customers’ products. Our fabric team may also suggest alternative fabrics to our customers. Our fabric team works
with our research and development team to understand fabric types and aims to identify different fabric we source and improve the quality
and comfort of the fabric we produce.
Our
product and technical team is mainly responsible for development samples of products, preparing structural and production guidance of
products as well as producing paper patterns for our garment production team. Upon order confirmation from our customers, our customer
relationship team informs our fabric team to carry out raw material sourcing.
We
source finished fabric and yarns from our suppliers for garment production. The procedures for fabric production are normally divided
into the following stages: (i) spinning; (ii) weaving or knitting; (iii) dyeing or printing; and (iv) finishing. Generally, our fabric
team requires four to six weeks to source raw materials from our suppliers.
Our
garment production team is responsible for produce garments based on the raw materials we source. The major stages involved in garment
production include: (i) paper patterning; (ii) fabric cutting; (iii) sewing; (iv) interim quality inspection; (v) trimming; (vi) washing;
and (vii) ironing.
Seasonality
We
generally receive more purchase orders during our second and third quarters and fewer manufacture orders during May and June.
Credit
period
For
our long-term and established customers with good payment track records, we generally provide payment terms between 30 to 180 days following
the delivery of finished goods. For our new customers, we generally require advances or deposits to be made when placing orders.
Our
logistics business
We
pack products and provide logistics service to our customers through our wholly-owned subsidiaries, XKJ and PF which are located in Guangdong
province, the PRC. Our in-house logistics teams deliver to approximately seven provinces and two municipalities in the PRC. We
sold HPF to another third party in November 2020, for consideration of $173,170, equal to the carrying amount of its net assets.
Where
a customer is located in an area not covered by our delivery fleet or where our in-house logistics teams are fully engaged, we will outsource
delivery to third-party contractors. We believe outsourcing allows us to maximize our delivery capacity and improve inventory flexibility
while minimizing capital expenditures, such as shipping costs and the costs of additional drivers during low seasons.
11
Our
logistics services
We
provide comprehensive logistics services to our customers, which include storage, transportation, warehousing, handling, packaging and
order processing. We also provide customs declaration and tax clearance service to our customers who export goods to overseas.
Our
network
We
have 758 logistics points and they are located in seven provinces and two municipalities which cover 79 cities in the PRC.
Our
internal management
Our
management in logistics business is responsible for setting out business strategies and managing the daily operation. Specifically, they
have regular meetings with different departments, conduct inspection and supervise the finance department, operation department and administration
department.
Seasonality
We
generally receive more delivery orders in our third and fourth quarters and are more vulnerable to shipping delays in the PRC during
Chinese New Year due to traffic and port congestion, border crossing delays and customs clearance issues.
Credit
period
We
generally require payments from the customers between 30 to 90 days following their acknowledgement of receipt of goods.
Customers
and Suppliers
Customers
Our
customer base is diverse. Our customers in garment manufacturing business are mainly garment wholesalers and retailers and our customers
in logistics business are mainly trading companies and logistic companies. For the year ended March 31, 2021, there was one customer
accounted for more than 30% of net sales which was 35.4% out of total net sales. For the year ended March 31, 2022, there was
no customer accounted for more than 30% of our net sales.
Suppliers
We
procured our garments through various textile companies in our garment manufacturing business. In our logistics business, we procured
from packing companies and transportation companies. No single supplier accounted for more than 30% of our total costs for the years
ended March 31, 2021 and 2022.
Inventory
Garment
manufacturing business . We maintain our raw materials in our storage facilities. We review our inventory levels in order to identify
slow-moving materials and broken assortments.
Logistics
business . Since we deliver products as soon as we receive orders from customers, we do not operate distribution centers and hence
do not need to carry a significant amount of inventory.
Our
property management and subleasing business. We do not need to carry a significant amount of inventory due to the nature of the business.
Epidemic
prevention supplies business. Since we procured and manufactured epidemic prevention supplies on order basis, we maintain low level
of inventories and do not have slow-moving items.
Intellectual
Property
We
currently do not own any intellectual property rights. We are in the process of registering trademarks and copyright in relation to our
garment manufacturing business pending approval from the PRC government.
12
Competition
While
the PRC is still the world’s largest clothing manufacturer with enormous production capacity, oversupply, increasing labor costs
and rising local protectionism have eroded its competitiveness.
The
principal competitive factors in the garment manufacturing market include:
●
brand
awareness and focus;
●
breadth
of product offerings; and
●
quality
control.
The
principal competitive factors in the logistics market include:
●
delivery
time; and
●
network
coverage.
The
principal competitive factors in the epidemic prevention supply market include:
●
delivery
time;
●
cost

The
principal competitive factors in the property management and subleasing market include:
●
Cost
control; and
●

We
believe we compete favorably with our competitors on the basis of the above factors as a result of our market position and customer base.
By offering one-stop-shop services and affordable price points, we provide services to our customers that are difficult for other competitors
to address.
Employees
As
of March 31, 2022, we had approximately 126 employees and there was no labor union established by our employees. The following
table sets out a breakdown of the number of employees by function as of March 31, 2022:

According
to PRC regulations, we must participate in various employee social security plans organized by local governments, including pension,
unemployment insurance, childbirth insurance, work-related injury insurance, medical insurance and housing insurance. We are also required
under PRC law to contribute to employee benefit plans at specified percentages of the salaries, bonuses and certain allowances of our
employees, up to a maximum amount specified by the local government from time to time.
We
believe that we maintain a good working relationship with our employees, and to date we have not experienced any significant labor disputes.
Government
Regulations
Currently,
apart from customary business laws and regulations, the PRC government does not regulate the garment manufacturing business and logistics
business. The PRC government may, however, from time to time institute rules and regulations on such businesses which makes it difficult
or impossible for us to operate successfully, if at all, in the PRC. Please see the section on “Risk Factors” for further
details.
The
PRC government encourages small to medium-sized companies in traditional industries, such as garment manufacturing, to modernize their
business models with technological updates in order to sharpen their competitive edge in global markets.
PRC
Limitation on Overseas Listing and Share Issuances
We
nor our subsidiaries are currently required to obtain approval from Chinese authorities, including the China Securities Regulatory Commission,
or CSRC, or Cybersecurity Administration Committee, or CAC, to list on U.S. exchanges or issue securities to foreign investors, however,
if our subsidiaries or the holding company were required to obtain approval in the future and were denied permission from Chinese authorities
to list on U.S. exchanges, we will not be able to continue listing on U.S. exchange, which would materially affect the interest of the
investors. It is uncertain when and whether the Company will be required to obtain permission from the PRC government to list on U.S.
exchanges in the future, and even when such permission is obtained, whether it will be denied or rescinded. Although the Company is currently
not required to obtain permission from any of the PRC central or local government to obtain such permission and has not received any
denial to list on the U.S. exchange, our operations could be adversely affected, directly or indirectly, by existing or future laws and
regulations relating to its business or industry; if we inadvertently conclude that such approvals are not required when they are, or
applicable laws, regulations, or interpretations change and we are required to obtain approval in the future.
On
December 24, 2021, the China Securities Regulatory Commission, or the CSRC, issued Provisions of the State Council on the Administration
of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies (Draft for Comments) (the “Administration Provisions”),
and the Administrative Measures for the Filing of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies (the “Measures”),
which were open for public comments by January 23, 2022. The Administration Provisions and Measures for overseas listings lay out specific
requirements for filing documents and include unified regulation management, strengthening regulatory coordination, and cross-border
regulatory cooperation. Domestic companies seeking to list abroad must carry out relevant security screening procedures if their businesses
involve supervisions such as foreign investment security and cyber security reviews. Companies endangering national security are among
those off-limits for overseas listings. As the Administration Provisions and Measures have not yet come into effect, we are currently
unaffected by them. However, it is uncertain when the Administration Provision and the Measures will take effect or if they will take
effect as currently drafted.
As
of the date of this annual report, other than the response we recently received from the CSRC confirming that our offering does not require
the examination and approval of the CSRC in accordance with the existing PRC legislation and regulations (for more details about this
response from the CSRC, see “ Risk Factors – General Risks Associated with Business Operation in China - While the approval
of the China Securities Regulatory Commission is not currently required for our offerings, it may be required in the future in connection
with our offerings under the M&A Rules and, if required, we cannot predict whether we will be able to obtain such approval ”),
we have not received any inquiry, notice, warning, sanctions or regulatory objection to our offerings from the CSRC, CAC or any other
PRC governmental authorities, and we believe our PRC Subsidiaries have obtained all requisite permissions from PRC governmental authorities
to operate our business as currently conducted under relevant PRC laws and regulations.
Currently,
each of our PRC Subsidiaries holds and maintains a business license issued by the local market supervision and administration bureau,
and has received all requisite permissions in order to conduct and operate our business. As of the date of this annual report, none of
our PRC Subsidiaries has been denied or punished by relevant governmental authorities due to its business qualifications.
Transfers
of Cash to and from our Subsidiaries
We
(Addentax Group Corp.) are a Nevada holding company with no material operations of our own. We conduct substantially all of our operations
through the operating companies established in the PRC, primarily Shenzhen Qianhai Yingxi Industrial Chain Service Co., Ltd. (“YX”),
our wholly owned subsidiary and its subsidiaries. We are not a Chinese operating company. We are a holding company and do not directly
own any substantive business operations in China. As a result, although other means are available for us to obtain financing at the holding
company level, Addentax’s ability to pay dividends to its shareholders and to service any debt it may incur may depend upon dividends
paid by our PRC Subsidiaries. If any of our subsidiaries incurs debt on its own in the future, the instruments governing such debt may
restrict its ability to pay dividends to Addentax. In addition, our PRC Subsidiaries are required to make appropriations to certain statutory
reserve funds, which are not distributable as cash dividends except in the event of a solvent liquidation of the companies.
Current
PRC regulations permit our PRC Subsidiaries to pay dividends to us through Yingxi HK, our intermediate holding subsidiary in Hong Kong,
only out of their accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with Chinese accounting standards and regulations. In addition,
each of our PRC Subsidiaries is required to set aside at least 10% of its after-tax profits each year, if any, to fund a statutory reserve
until such reserve reaches 50% of its registered capital. Each of such entity in China is also required to further set aside a portion
of its after-tax profits to fund the employee welfare fund, although the amount to be set aside, if any, is determined at the discretion
of its board of directors. Although the statutory reserves can be used, among other ways, to increase the registered capital and eliminate
future losses in excess of retained earnings of the respective companies, the reserve funds are not distributable as cash dividends except
in the event of liquidation.
14
The
PRC government also imposes controls on the conversion of RMB into foreign currencies and the remittance of currencies out of the PRC.
Therefore, we may experience difficulties in completing the administrative procedures necessary to obtain and remit foreign currency
for the payment of dividends from our profits, if any. Furthermore, if our PRC Subsidiaries incur debt on their own in the future, the
instruments governing the debt may restrict their ability to pay dividends or make other payments.
Cash
dividends, if any, on our common stock will be paid in U.S. dollars. If we are considered a PRC tax resident enterprise for tax purposes,
any dividends we pay to our overseas shareholders may be regarded as China-sourced income and as a result may be subject to PRC withholding
tax at a rate of up to 10.0%.
In
order for us to pay dividends to our shareholders, we will rely on the distribution of dividends, through the WFOE, to Yingxi HK from
our PRC Subsidiaries. As of the date hereof, none of our PRC Subsidiaries has distributed any dividends to Yingxi HK.
Pursuant
to the Arrangement between Mainland China and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region for the Avoidance of Double Taxation and Tax
Evasion on Income, or the Double Tax Avoidance Arrangement, the 10% withholding tax rate may be lowered to 5% if a Hong Kong resident
enterprise owns no less than 25% of a PRC project. However, the 5% withholding tax rate does not automatically apply and certain requirements
must be satisfied, including without limitation that (a) the Hong Kong project must be the beneficial owner of the relevant dividends;
and (b) the Hong Kong project must directly hold no less than 25% share ownership in the PRC project during the 12 consecutive months
preceding its receipt of the dividends. In current practice, a Hong Kong project must obtain a tax resident certificate from the Hong
Kong tax authority to apply for the 5% lower PRC withholding tax rate. As the Hong Kong tax authority will issue such a tax resident
certificate on a case-by-case basis, we cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain the tax resident certificate from the relevant
Hong Kong tax authority and enjoy the preferential withholding tax rate of 5% under the Double Taxation Arrangement with respect to dividends
to be paid by our WFOE to its immediate holding company, Yingxi HK. As of the date of this annual report, we have not applied for the
tax resident certificate from the relevant Hong Kong tax authority. Yingxi HK intends to apply for the tax resident certificate when
WFOE plans to declare and pay dividends to Yingxi HK.
As
of the date hereof, we have had no transactions that involved the transfer of cash or assets throughout our corporate structure. The
PRC Subsidiaries have not transferred cash or other assets to Addentax, including by way of dividends. Addentax does not currently plan
or anticipate transferring cash or other assets from our operations in China to any non-Chinese entity. As of the date hereof, no transfers,
dividends, or distributions have been made to our investors.
Holding
Foreign Company Accountable Act
Trading
in our securities may be prohibited under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, or the HFCAA, if the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States) (the “PCAOB”) determines that it cannot inspect or investigate completely our auditor.
Pursuant
to the HFCAA, the PCAOB issued a Determination Report on December 16, 2021 which found that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate
completely registered public accounting firms headquartered in: (1) mainland China of the People’s Republic of China because of
a position taken by one or more authorities in mainland China; and (2) Hong Kong, a Special Administrative Region and dependency of the
PRC, because of a position taken by one or more authorities in Hong Kong. In addition, the PCAOB’s report identified the specific
registered public accounting firms which are subject to these determinations.
The
PCAOB is currently unable to conduct inspections in China without the approval of Chinese government authorities. If it is later determined
that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate our auditor completely, investors may be deprived of the benefits of such inspection.
Any audit reports not issued by auditors that are completely inspected by the PCAOB, or a lack of PCAOB inspections of audit work undertaken
in China that prevents the PCAOB from regularly evaluating our auditors’ audits and their quality control procedures, could result
in a lack of assurance that our financial statements and disclosures are adequate and accurate.
15
Our
auditor, BF Borgers CPA PC, is an independent registered public accounting firm with the PCAOB, and as an auditor of publicly traded
companies in the U.S., is subject to laws in the U.S. pursuant to which the PCAOB conducts regular inspections to assess its compliance
with the applicable professional standards. BF Borgers CPA PC is based in the United States and has been inspected by the PCAOB on a
regular basis, with the last inspection in November and December of 2021. BF Borgers CPA PC, is not headquartered in
mainland China or Hong Kong and was not identified as a firm subject to the determinations announced by the PCAOB on
December 16, 2021. Should the PCAOB be unable to fully conduct inspection of our auditor’s work papers in China, it will make it
difficult to evaluate the effectiveness of our auditor’s audit procedures or equity control procedures. Investors may consequently
lose confidence in our reported financial information and procedures or quality of the financial statements, which would adversely affect
us and our securities.
Moreover,
if trading in our securities is prohibited under the HFCAA in the future because the PCAOB determines that it cannot inspect or fully
investigate our auditor at such future time, an exchange may determine to delist our securities.
Furthermore,
on June 22, 2021, the U.S. Senate passed the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (“AHFCAA”), which, if
enacted, would amend the HFCAA and require the SEC to prohibit an issuer’s securities from trading on any U.S. stock exchanges
if its auditor is not subject to PCAOB inspections for two consecutive years instead of three. If the AHFCAA is enacted, and if we are
subject to it, it would decrease the number of “non-inspection years” from three years to two years, and thus, would reduce
the time before our securities may be prohibited from trading or delisted.
Item
1A. Risk Factors
You
should carefully consider the risks described below and elsewhere in this Form 10-K, which could materially and adversely affect our
business, results of operations or financial condition. Our business faces significant risks and the risks described below may not be
the only risks we face. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial may materially affect
our business, results of operations, or financial condition. If any of these risks occur, the trading price of our common stock could
decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. You should consider our business and prospects in light of the challenges we
face, including the ones discussed in this section. In the event that any of the events described in the risk factors below occur, it
could have a material adverse effect on our operations and cash flow and cause the value of our securities to decline in value or become
worthless.
Risks
Associated with Our Company
Our
success depends on our customer’s ability to market and sell their products manufactured by us.
All
of our customers in our garment manufacturing business are garment wholesalers and retailers. Consequently, our business and results
of operations are directly affected by the demand of their end customers for their products supplied by us. Drastic changes in consumer
preferences are beyond our control and will affect the demand for certain products supplied by us. We may not be able to anticipate and
respond to such changes in consumer preferences in a timely manner. If the sales of our customers’ products decrease or do not
grow as we expect, our customers may decrease the volume or purchase price of their orders, which could materially and adversely affect
our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our
future expansion plans are subject to uncertainties and risks.
We
have set out our future business plans in the “Business Strategies” section in this report. The implementation of such future
plans requires us to effectively manage our sales, procurement, new logistics points and other aspects of our operations. If we fail
to effectively and efficiently implement our future plans, we may not be successful in achieving desirable and profitable results. Even
if we effectively and efficiently implement our future plans, there may be other unexpected events or factors that prevent us from achieving
the desirable and profitable results from the implementation of our future plans, such as changes in our ability to comply with local
rules and regulations or any delays or difficulties in obtaining the necessary licenses and approvals from local governments. Our business,
financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects may be materially and adversely affected if our future expansion plans
fail to achieve positive results.
16
If
we are unable to create brand influence, we may face difficulties in attracting new business partners and clients.
Our
brand is still being nurtured. It is of critical importance that we create and develop brand awareness in our industry in order to attract
new clients and business partners. Our major competitors have built well-known brands and continue to increase their influence. Our failure
to create and develop brand awareness for any reason may result in a material adverse effect on our business, operational results, and
financial position.
Our
ability to adequately protect our trade names, trademarks and patents could have an impact on our brand images and ability to penetrate
new markets.
We
believe that our trade names, trademarks and patents are important assets and an essential element of our strategy. We have applied the
registration of these trade names, trademarks and patents in China and Hong Kong, and these registrations are currently pending approval
from the corresponding departments. There can be no assurance that we will obtain such registrations or that the registrations we obtain
will prevent the imitation of our products or infringement of our intellectual property rights by others. In particular, the laws of
certain foreign countries may not protect proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of the U.S. If any third-party copies our
products or our stores in a manner that projects lesser quality or carries a negative connotation, it could have a material adverse effect
on our brand image and reputation as well as our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
We
may be impacted by our ability to adequately source, distribute and sell merchandise and other materials in China.
We
face a variety of other risks generally associated with doing business in China. For example:
●
political
instability, significant health hazards, environmental hazards or natural disasters which could negatively affect international economies,
financial markets and business activity;
●
imposition
of new or retaliatory trade duties, sanctions or taxes and other charges on imports or exports;
●
evolving,
new or complex legal and regulatory matters;
●
volatility
in currency exchange rates;
●
local
business practice and political issues (including issues relating to compliance with domestic or international labor standards) which
may result in adverse publicity or threatened or actual adverse consumer actions, including boycotts;
●
potential
delays or disruptions in shipping and transportation and related pricing impacts;
●
disruption
due to labor disputes; and
●
changing
expectations regarding product safety due to new legislation or other factors.
We
also rely upon third-party transportation providers for certain of our product shipments, including shipments to and from our distribution
centers, to our customers. Our utilization of these delivery services for shipments is subject to risks, including increases in labor
costs and fuel prices, which would increase our shipping costs, and associate strikes and inclement weather, which may impact our transportation
providers’ ability to provide delivery services that adequately meet our shipping needs.
17
Future
price increases in raw materials or changes in the supply of raw materials may materially and adversely affect our business, financial
condition and results of operations.
The
purchase of raw materials accounted for a substantial amount of our total purchases. The price of finished fabric and yarns can be volatile
and affected by factors such as weather, industry demand and supply. We cannot assure you that we can fully pass on the increased cost
in raw materials to our customers. Future price increases in raw materials or changes in the supply of raw materials may materially and
adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Future
increases in cost of epidemic prevention supplies or changes in the demand and supply may materially and adversely affect our business,
financial condition and results of operations.
The
purchase of epidemic prevention supplies accounted for a substantial amount of our total purchases for the fiscal year 2021. The price
of finished face masks and nitrile gloves can be volatile and affected by factors such as COVID-19 outbreak condition, weather, industry
demand and supply. We cannot assure you that we can fully pass on the increased cost to our customers. Future increases in cost of epidemic
prevention supplies or changes in the demand and supply may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results
of operations.
The
company’s revenue increased in the first nine months of fiscal 2021 due to a new business segment of epidemic prevention supplies
business. The company made a significant net loss despite of its overall revenue increase and the addition of a new business segment.
During first nine months of fiscal 2021, we accepted a nitrile glove purchase order from a customer. However, due to significant price
increase in nitrile glove due to the COVID-19 driven demand surge and the shortage of raw materials, the Company incurred a significant
loss during this period.
Our
top customers accounted for a major portion of our total revenue for the years ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 and may materially adversely
affect our financial condition and results of operations.
For
the year ended March 31, 2022, one customer accounted for approximately 96.9% of the Company’s total garment manufacturing revenues.
For the year ended March 31, 2021, two customers accounted for approximately 76.2% and 13.5% of the Company’s total garment manufacturing
revenues. For the year ended March 31, 2022, one customer accounted for approximately 14.4% of the Company’s total logistic services
revenues. For the year ended March 31, 2021, three customers accounted for approximately 13.6%, 13.2% and 10.5% of the Company’s
total logistic services revenues. For epidemic prevention supplies business, one customer accounted for approximately 98.8% of the total
revenue of the segment for the year ended March 31, 2022. For the year ended March 31, 2021, two customers accounted for approximately
75.4% and 14.6% of the total revenue of the segment. However, our top customers are not obligated in any way to continue to provide us
with new businesses in the future at a level similar to that in the past or at all. If any of our top customers reduce their orders with
us or terminate their business relationship with our Group and if we are not able to secure orders of a comparable size from other customers
as replacement, our business operations and financial performance may be materially and adversely affected.
We
are exposed to concentration risk of heavy reliance on our major supplier for the supply of our products, and any shortage of, or delay
in, the supply may significantly impact on our business and results of operation.
During
the years ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, approximately 99.3% and 98.7% of total inventory purchases were from the Company’s five
largest suppliers, respectively. Our business, financial condition and operating results depend on the continuous supply of products
from our largest suppliers and our continuous supplier-customer relationship with them. Our heavy reliance on our largest suppliers for
the supply of our products will have significant impact on our business and results of operation in the event of any shortage of, or
delay in the supply.
18
Any
labor shortages, increased labor costs or other factors affecting labor supply for our production materials may materially and adversely
affect our business operations.
We
rely on skilled workers to a significant extent as our production process in our garment manufacturing business is labor intensive in
nature. Our business performance relies on the steady supply of relatively low cost labor in the PRC. There is no guarantee that our
supply of labor will not be disrupted or that our labor costs will not increase. If we fail to retain our existing labor resources and/or
recruit sufficient labor in a timely manner, we may not be able to accommodate sudden increases in demand for our products.
Labor
costs are affected by the demand for and supply of labor and economic factors, such as the inflation rate and costs of living. Labor
costs may further increase in the future due to a shortage of skilled labor and growing industry demands. The failure to identify and
recruit replacement staff immediately following the unexpected loss of skilled workers could reduce our competitiveness. In addition,
we expect continued increases in labor costs in the PRC. In these circumstances, our business, financial condition, results of operations
and prospects could be materially and adversely affected.
We
may be impacted by our ability to attract, develop and retain qualified associates and manage labor-related costs.
We
believe our competitive advantage is providing a positive, engaging and satisfying experience for each customer, which requires us to
have highly trained and engaged associates. Our success depends in part upon our ability to attract, develop and retain a sufficient
number of qualified associates, including skill intensive labor. The turnover rate in the textile industry is generally high, and qualified
individuals of the requisite caliber and number needed to fill these positions may be in short supply in our operations. Competition
for such qualified individuals or changes in labor laws could require us to incur higher labor costs. Our inability to recruit a sufficient
number of qualified individuals in the future may delay planned delivery of finished products or affect the speed with which we expand.
Delayed deliveries, significant increases in associate turnover rates or significant increases in labor-related costs could have a material
adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
We
may be impacted by our vendors’ ability to manufacture and deliver raw materials in a timely manner, meet quality standards and
comply with applicable laws and regulations.
We
purchase raw materials from third-party vendors. Factors outside our control, such as production or shipping delays or quality problems,
could disrupt merchandise deliveries and result in lost sales, cancellation charges or excessive markdowns.
In
addition, quality problems could result in a product liability judgment or a widespread product recall that may negatively impact our
sales and profitability for a period of time depending on product availability, competition reaction and consumer attitudes. Even if
the product liability claim is unsuccessful or is not fully pursued, the negative publicity surrounding any assertions could adversely
impact our reputation with existing and potential customers and our brand image.
Our
business could also suffer if our third-party vendors fail to comply with applicable laws and regulations. While our internal and vendor’s
operating guidelines promote ethical business practices and our associates visit and monitor the operations of our third-party vendors,
we do not control these vendors or their practices. The violation of labor, environmental or other laws by third-party vendors used by
us, or the divergence of a third-party vendor’s or partner’s labor or environmental practices from those generally accepted
as ethical or appropriate, could interrupt or otherwise disrupt the shipment of finished products to us or damage our reputation.
19
Large
and similar sized competitors could steal our market share by offering lower prices.
We
endeavor to provide the highest possible quality service to our clients at the best possible price, however, large and similar sized
competitors might steal some of our market share by offering lower prices, causing us to lose some of our clients. If this happens, we
might not be able to generate adequate revenues and may soon find ourselves lacking the capital that is required to continue operations.
If
we are unable to attract additional customers and clients to purchase our services (and future products we may develop or sell), it will
have a negative effect on our ability to generate the revenue.
We
currently have a limited number of clients and customers. We have identified additional potential clients, but we cannot guarantee that
we will be able to secure them as clients. Even if we obtain additional clients and customers, there is no guarantee that we will be
able develop products and/or services that our clients and customers will want to purchase. If we are unable to attract enough customers
and clients to purchase services (and any products we may develop or sell) it will have a negative effect on our ability to generate
the revenue that is necessary to operate or expand our business. The lack of sufficient revenue will have a negative effect on the ability
of our company to continue operations and could force us to cease operations.
We
may be adversely affected by the performance of third-party contractors.
We
engaged third-party contractors to carry out logistics services. We endeavor to engage third-party companies with a strong reputation
and track record, high performance reliability and adequate financial resources. However, any such third-party contractor may still fail
to provide satisfactory logistics services at the level of quality or within the timeframe required by us or our customers. While we
generally require our logistics contractors to fully reimburse us for any losses arising from delay in delivery or non-delivery, our
results of operation and financial condition may be adversely affected if any of the losses are not borne by them. If the performance
of any third-party contractor is not satisfactory, we may need to replace such contractor or take other remedial actions, which could
adversely affect the cost structure and delivery schedule of our products and thus have a negative impact on our reputation, financial
position and business operations. In addition, as we are expanding our business into other geographical locations in the PRC, there may
be a shortage of third-party contractors that meet our quality standards and other selection criteria in such locations and, as a result,
we may not be able to engage a sufficient number of high-quality third-party contractors in a timely manner, which may adversely affect
our delivery schedules and delivery costs and hence our business, results of operations and financial conditions.
We
may be exposed to concentration risk of heavy reliance on third-party contractors for our logistic business, and any shortage of third-party
contractors may significantly impact on our business and results of operation.
The
Company relied on a few subcontractors for our logistic business, in which the subcontracting fees to our largest contractor represented
approximately 14.8% and 7.6% of total cost of revenues for our service segment for the years ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
The increase in subcontracting fee to the largest contractor was mainly to optimize resources and cost efficiencies. We have not experienced
any disputes with our subcontractors and we believe we maintain good relationships with our contract logistic service provider.
If
we are unable to control the reliance of third-party contractors efficiently and effectively, our business prospects and results of operations
may be materially and adversely affected.
We
engaged subcontractors to carry out logistics services. Subcontracting fees for our logistics business for the year ended March 31, 2022
increased to approximately $2.3 million from $1.8 million for the year ended March 31, 2021, representing an increase of approximately
25.7%. Subcontracting fees accounted for 42.9% and 39.5% of our total logistics business revenue in the years ended March 31, 2022 and
2021, respectively.
If
we are unable to control the reliance of subcontractors efficiently and effectively, our business prospects and results of operations
may be materially and adversely affected.
20
Our
insurance may not be sufficient.
We
carry insurance that we consider adequate in regard to the nature of the covered risks and the costs of coverage. We are not fully insured
against all possible risks, nor are all such risks insurable.
We
have a limited operating history for the new business segment of property management and subleasing, which makes it difficult to evaluate
our future prospects and may increase the risk that we will not be successful. In addition, our historical growth rates and profitability
may not be indicative of our future growth and profitability.
We
have a limited operating history for the new business segment of property management and subleasing, this
is a new business segment we commenced developing in 2020. Our property management
and subleasing business provides shops subleasing and property management services for garment wholesalers and retailers in garment market.
We have experienced rapid growth in recent periods and may not develop or continue to grow as expected. Revenue generated from
our property management and subleasing business contributed approximately $4.3 million, or approximately 33.6%, of our total revenue
for the year ended March 31, 2022. Revenue generated from our property management and subleasing business contributed approximately $1.3
million, or approximately 5.2%, of our total revenue for the year ended March 31, 2021.
We
may fail to continue our growth or maintain our historical growth rates or profitability. You should not consider our historical growth
and profitability as indicative of our future financial performance.
Natural
disasters, public health crises or other catastrophic events may significantly limit our ability to conduct business as normal, disrupt
our business operation and materially affect our financial condition.
Our
operations, and the operations of our new business segment of property management and subleasing, are vulnerable to interruptions by
natural disasters, public health crises and catastrophic events. For example, the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic caused the Chinese
government to take unprecedented measures to contain the virus, such as lock-down of cities, nationwide travel restriction and compulsory
quarantine requirements. During the outbreak, we had to temporarily close our office facilities, restrict employee travel, switch to
online virtual meetings or even cancel meetings with partners. There continue to be significant uncertainties associated with the coronavirus,
including with respect to the ultimate geographic spread of the virus, the severity of the disease, the duration of the outbreak, and
actions that may be taken by Chinese or other governmental authorities to contain the coronavirus or to treat its impact. Any significant
disruption resulting from this or similar epidemics on a large scale or over a prolonged period of time could cause significant disruption
to our business until we would be able to resume normal business operations, negatively affecting our business, results of operations
and financial condition.
We
may not succeed in continuing to maintain, protect and strengthen our reputation, and any negative publicity about us, our business,
our management, our business partners, may materially and adversely affect our reputation, business, results of operations and growth.
Our
property management and subleasing business provides shops subleasing and property management services for garment wholesalers and retailers
in garment market. We conduct our property management and subleasing operation through a wholly owned subsidiary, namely Dongguan Yingxi
Daying Commercial Co., Ltd. We believe that the recognition
and reputation of our Company’s image among our customers in general have significantly contributed to the success of our business.
Continuing to maintain, protect and strengthen our Company’s image is critical to our market position. Maintaining and strengthening
our Company’s image will likely depend significantly on our ability to provide high-quality property management and subleasing
services. We market our brands through word-of-mouth marketing. This effort may not always achieve the desired results. If we fail to
maintain a strong brand, our business, results of operations and prospects will be materially and adversely affected.
21
Our
business depends on the continued contributions made by Mr. Hong Zhida, as our key executive officer, the loss of who may result in a
severe impediment to our business.
Our
success is dependent upon the continued contributions made by our CEO and President, Mr. Hong Zhida. We rely on his expertise in business
operations when we are developing new products and services. The Company has no “Key Man” insurance to cover the resulting
losses in the event that any of our officer or directors should die or resign.
If
Mr. Hong Zhida cannot serve the Company or is no longer willing to do so, the Company may not be able to find alternatives in a timely
manner or at all. This would likely result in a severe damage to our business operations and would have an adverse material impact on
our financial position and operational results. To continue as a viable operation, the Company may have to recruit and train replacement
personnel at a higher cost.
Additionally,
if Mr. Hong Zhida joins our competitors or develops similar businesses that are in competition with our Company, our business may also
be negatively impacted.
Our
future success depends on our ability to attract and retain qualified long-term staff to fill management, technology, sales, marketing,
and customer services positions. We have a great need for qualified talent, but we may not be successful in attracting, hiring, developing,
and retaining the talent required for our success.
We
may be adversely impacted by certain compliance or legal matters.
We,
along with third parties we do business with, are subject to complex compliance and litigation risks. Actions filed against us from time
to time include commercial, tort, intellectual property, customer, employment, wage and hour, data privacy, securities, anti-corruption
and other claims, including purported class action lawsuits. The cost of defending against these types of claims against us or the ultimate
resolution of such claims, whether by settlement or adverse court decision, may harm our business. Further, potential claimants may be
encouraged to bring lawsuits based on a settlement from us or adverse court decisions against us. We cannot currently assess the likely
outcome of such suits, but if the outcome were negative, it could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, results of operations,
financial condition and cash flows.
In
addition, we may be impacted by litigation trends, including class action lawsuits involving consumers and shareholders, that could have
a material adverse effect on our reputation, the market price of our common stock, results of operations, financial condition and cash
flows.
Failure
to make adequate contributions to various employee benefits plans as required by PRC regulations may subject us to penalties.
Companies
operating in China are required to participate in various government sponsored employee benefit plans, including certain social insurance,
housing funds and other welfare-oriented payment obligations, and contribute to the plans in amounts equal to certain percentages of
salaries, including bonuses and allowances, of employees up to a maximum amount specified by the local government from time to time at
locations where they operate their businesses. The requirement of employee benefit plans has not been implemented consistently by the
local governments in China given the different levels of economic development in different locations. As of March 31, 2022, we have made
adequate employee benefit payments in strict compliance with the relevant PRC regulations for and on behalf of our employees.
There
is no guarantee that we will not fail in making adequate employee benefit payments in strict compliance with applicable PRC labor related
laws and regulations in the future. Our failure in making contributions to various employee benefits plans in strict compliance with
applicable PRC labor related laws and regulations may subject us to late payment penalties, and we could also be required to make up
the contributions for these plans as well as to pay late fees and fines. If we are subject to late fees or fines in relation to the underpaid
employee benefits, our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.
22
A
recent joint statement by the SEC and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), or the “PCAOB,” proposed
rule changes submitted by Nasdaq, and the newly enacted “Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act” all call for additional
and more stringent criteria to be applied to emerging market companies upon assessing the qualification of their auditors, especially
the non-U.S. auditors who are not inspected by the PCAOB. These developments could add uncertainties to investing in us.
On
April 21, 2020, the SEC and the PCAOB released a joint statement highlighting the risks associated with investing in companies based
in or having substantial operations in emerging markets including China. The joint statement emphasized the risks associated with lack
of access for the PCAOB to inspect auditors and audit work papers in China and higher risks of fraud in emerging markets.
On
May 18, 2020, Nasdaq filed three proposals with the SEC to (i) apply a minimum offering size requirement for companies primarily operating
in a “Restrictive Market,” (ii) adopt a new requirement relating to the qualification of management or the board of directors
for Restrictive Market companies, and (iii) apply additional and more stringent criteria to an applicant or listed company based on the
qualifications of the company’s auditor.
On
December 18, 2020, the “Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act” was signed by previous President of the United States
and became law. This legislation requires certain issuers of securities to establish that they are not owned or controlled by a foreign
government. Specifically, an issuer must make this certification if the PCAOB is unable to audit specified reports because the issuer
has retained a foreign public accounting firm not subject to inspection by the PCAOB. Furthermore, if the PCAOB is unable to inspect
the issuer’s public accounting firm for three consecutive years, the issuer’s securities are banned from trade on a national
exchange or through other methods.
On
March 24, 2021, the SEC announced that it had adopted interim final amendments to implement congressionally mandated submission and disclosure
requirements of the HFCAA. The interim final amendments will apply to registrants that the SEC identifies as having filed an annual report
on Forms 10-K, 20-F, 40-F or N-CSR with an audit report issued by a registered public accounting firm that is located in a foreign jurisdiction
and that the PCAOB has determined it is unable to inspect or investigate completely because of a position taken by an authority in that
jurisdiction. The SEC will implement a process for identifying such a registrant and any such identified registrant will be required
to submit documentation to the SEC establishing that it is not owned or controlled by a governmental entity in that foreign jurisdiction,
and will also require disclosure in the registrant’s annual report regarding the audit arrangements of, and governmental influence
on, such a registrant.
Furthermore,
on June 22, 2021, the U.S. Senate passed the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (“AHFCAA”), which, if
enacted, would amend the HFCAA and require the SEC to prohibit an issuer’s securities from trading on any U.S. stock exchanges
if its auditor is not subject to PCAOB inspections for two consecutive years instead of three. If the AHFCAA is enacted, and if we are
subject to it, it would decrease the number of “non-inspection years” from three years to two years, and thus, would reduce
the time before our securities may be prohibited from trading or delisted.
On
September 22, 2021, the PCAOB adopted rules to create a framework for the PCAOB to use when determining, as contemplated under the HFCAA,
whether it is unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms located in a foreign jurisdiction because
of a position taken by one or more authorities in that jurisdiction.
On
December 2, 2021, the SEC issued amendments to finalize the interim final rules previously adopted in March 2021 to implement the submission
and disclosure requirements in the HFCAA. The rules apply to registrants that the SEC identifies as having filed an annual report with
an audit report issued by a registered public accounting firm that is located in a foreign jurisdiction and that the PCAOB is unable
to inspect or investigate completely because of a position taken by an authority in a foreign jurisdiction.
On
December 16, 2021, the PCAOB issued a Determination Report which found that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely
registered public accounting firms headquartered in: (1) mainland China of the People’s Republic of China, because of a position
taken by one or more authorities in mainland China; and (2) Hong Kong, a Special Administrative Region and dependency of the PRC, because
of a position taken by one or more authorities in Hong Kong. The PCAOB has made such designations as mandated under the HFCAA. Pursuant
to each annual determination by the PCAOB, the SEC will, on an annual basis, identify issuers that have used non-inspected audit firms
and thus are at risk of such suspensions in the future.
23
The
PCAOB is currently unable to conduct inspections in China without the approval of Chinese government authorities. If it is later determined
that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate our auditor completely, investors may be deprived of the benefits of such inspection.
Any audit reports not issued by auditors that are completely inspected by the PCAOB, or a lack of PCAOB inspections of audit work undertaken
in China that prevents the PCAOB from regularly evaluating our auditors’ audits and their quality control procedures, could result
in a lack of assurance that our financial statements and disclosures are adequate and accurate.
Our
auditor, BF Borgers CPA PC, is an independent registered public accounting firm with the PCAOB, and as an auditor of publicly traded
companies in the U.S., is subject to laws in the U.S. pursuant to which the PCAOB conducts regular inspections to assess its compliance
with the applicable professional standards. BF Borgers CPA PC is based in the United States and has been inspected by the PCAOB on a
regular basis, with the last inspection in November and December 2021. BF Borgers CPA PC, is not headquartered in mainland China
or Hong Kong and was not identified as a firm subject to the determinations announced by the PCAOB on December 16, 2021. Should
the PCAOB be unable to fully conduct inspection of our auditor’s work papers in China, it will make it difficult to evaluate the
effectiveness of our auditor’s audit procedures or equity control procedures. Investors may consequently lose confidence in our
reported financial information and procedures or quality of the financial statements, which would adversely affect us and our securities.
Moreover, if trading in our securities is prohibited under the HFCAA in the future because the PCAOB determines that it cannot inspect
or fully investigate our auditor at such future time, an exchange may determine to delist our securities.
There
are uncertainties under the PRC Securities Law relating to the procedures and requisite timing for the U.S. securities regulatory agencies
to conduct investigations and collect evidence within the territory of the PRC.
On
December 28, 2019, the newly amended Securities Law of the PRC (the “PRC Securities Law”) was promulgated, which became effective
on March 1, 2020. According to Article 177 of the PRC Securities Law (“Article 177”), the securities regulatory authority
of the State Council may establish a regulatory cooperation mechanism with securities regulatory authorities of another country or region
for the implementation of cross-border supervision and administration. Article 177 further provides that overseas securities regulatory
authorities shall not engage in activities pertaining to investigations or evidence collection directly conducted within the territories
of the PRC, and that no Chinese entities or individuals shall provide documents and information in connection with securities business
activities to any organizations and/or persons aboard without the prior consent of the securities regulatory authority of the State Council
and the competent departments of the State Council. As
of the date of this annual report, we are not aware of any implementing rules or regulations which have been published regarding
application of Article 177.
As
advised by our PRC counsel, Article 177 is only applicable where the activities of overseas authorities constitute a direct investigation
or evidence collection by such authorities within the territory of the PRC. Our principal business operation is conducted in the PRC.
In the event that the U.S. securities regulatory agencies carry out an investigation on us such as an enforcement action by the Department
of Justice, the SEC or other authorities, such agencies’ activities will constitute conducting an investigation or collecting evidence
directly within the territory of the PRC and accordingly fall within the scope of Article 177. In that case, the U.S. securities regulatory
agencies may have to consider establishing cross-border cooperation with the securities regulatory authority of the PRC by way of judicial
assistance, diplomatic channels or establishing a regulatory cooperation mechanism with the securities regulatory authority of the PRC.
However, there is no assurance that the U.S. securities regulatory agencies will succeed in establishing such cross-border cooperation
in this particular case and/or establish such cooperation in a timely manner.
24
Furthermore,
as Article 177 is a recently promulgated provision and, as the date of this annual report, there have not been implementing rules
or regulations regarding the application of Article 177, it remains unclear as to how it will be interpreted, implemented or applied
by the Chinese Securities Regulatory Commission or other relevant government authorities. As such, there are uncertainties as to the
procedures and requisite timing for the U.S. securities regulatory agencies to conduct investigations and collect evidence within the
territory of the PRC. If the U.S. securities regulatory agencies are unable to conduct such investigations, there exists a risk that
they may determine to suspend or de-register our registration with the SEC and may also delist our securities from Nasdaq or other applicable
trading market within the US.
We
are exposed to liabilities relating to environmental protection and safety laws and regulations.
Our
operations are subject to comprehensive and frequently changing laws and regulations relating to environmental protection and health
and safety. The discharge of waste and pollutants from our manufacturing operations into the environment may give rise to liabilities
that may require us to incur costs to remedy such discharge. If we violate such laws or regulations, we may be required to implement
corrective actions and could be subject to civil or criminal fines or penalties or other sanctions.
However,
we cannot assure you that any environmental laws adopted in the future will not materially increase our operating costs and other expenses.
We cannot assure you that we will not have to make significant capital or operating expenditures in the future in order to comply with
existing or new laws and regulations or that we will comply with applicable environmental laws at all times. Such violations or liability
could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
If
our employees do not maintain a strong work ethic and comply with our code of ethics, including our confidentiality requirements, their
actions may negatively influence our business and reputation.
Employees
with good professional ethics are important for any company’s development. An employee might, either intentionally or unintentionally,
disclose confidential information about our Company or our clients and particularly unscrupulous employees might endeavor to sell material
information to industry competitors. Furthermore, our employees will develop relationships with our business partners and clients, and
may acquire information that could be used to harm their business interests. If this should happen, our partners and clients might lose
faith in our company. While we can never eliminate these ethical risks entirely, we will attempt to reduce the likelihood of breaches
of trust and mitigate their impacts of it by hiring highly professional employees and establishing strong internal information management
systems.
We
also plan to establish a series of policies to reduce the likelihood of such events.
However,
in the event that any employee discloses confidential information about our Company or our clients or sells material information to industry
competitors, it could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, operations and cash flow.
We
face risks associated with future Chinese regulations.
Currently
there are no government regulations in China regarding our type of services. The Chinese government encourages small-medium sized traditional
industry companies to conduct business model transformation and technology updates, which may help companies gain more competitive advantages
in international markets.
Other
than the required adherence to general business laws and regulatory disclosures, our services are not affected by any specific additional
Chinese government regulations. However, this does not preclude the possibility that China may institute regulations that will make it
difficult or impossible for us to operate successfully, if at all, in the future. If that occurs, we may have to focus our business on
companies located outside China. This could cause our results of operations to be materially adversely effected, reduce our revenues
and cause the value of our securities to decline in value.
25
We
may require additional financing in the future and our operations could be curtailed if we are unable to obtain required additional financing
when needed.
We
may need to obtain additional debt or equity financing to fund future capital expenditures. While we do not anticipate seeking additional
financing in the immediate future, any additional equity may result in dilution to the holders of our outstanding shares of capital stock.
Additional debt financing may include conditions that would restrict our freedom to operate our business, such as conditions that:
●
limit
our ability to pay dividends or require us to seek consent for the payment of dividends;
●
increase
our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;
●
require
us to dedicate a portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our debt, thereby reducing the availability of our cash
flow to fund capital expenditures, working capital and other general corporate purposes; and
●
limit
our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and our industry.
We
cannot guarantee that we will be able to obtain any additional financing on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all.
Natural
disasters and other events beyond our control could materially adversely affect us.
Natural
disasters or other catastrophic events may cause damage or disruption to our operations, international commerce and the global economy,
and thus could have a strong negative effect on us. Our business operations are subject to interruption by natural disasters, fire, power
shortages, pandemics and other events beyond our control. This may result in delivery delays, malfunctioning of facilities or shutdown
of logistic points. Such events could make it difficult or impossible for us to deliver our products and services to our customers and
could decrease demand for our services. In the past, there was no significant disruption of operation at our production facilities and
logistic points. However, we could not assure you that the production facilities and logistic points will always operate normally in
the future.
We
are an “emerging growth company” and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth
companies will make our common stock less attractive to investors.
We
are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various
reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” including not
being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations
regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding
advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We cannot
predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common
stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.
26
General
Risks Associated with Business Operations in China
The
PRC government has significant oversight and discretion over the conduct of a PRC company’s business operations or to exert control
over any offering of securities conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in China-based issuers, and may intervene with or influence
our operations , may limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors, and may cause the
value of such securities to significantly decline or be worthless, as the government deems appropriate to further regulatory, political
and societal goals
The
PRC government may intervene or influence our operations at any time, which could result in a material change in our operations and/or
the value of our common stock. For example, the PRC government has recently published new policies that significantly affected certain
industries such as the education and internet industries, and we cannot rule out the possibility that it will in the future release regulations
or policies regarding any industry that could adversely affect the business, financial condition and results of operations of our company.
Furthermore, the PRC government has also recently indicated an intent to exert more oversight and control over securities offerings and
other capital markets activities that are conducted overseas and foreign investment in China-based companies. Any such action, once taken
by the PRC government, could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors
and cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or in extreme cases, become worthless.
Recently,
the PRC government initiated a series of regulatory actions and statements to regulate business operations in China with little advance
notice, including cracking down on illegal activities in the securities market, enhancing supervision over China-based companies listed
overseas using variable interest entity structure, adopting new measures to extend the scope of cybersecurity reviews, and expanding
the efforts in anti-monopoly enforcement. As confirmed by our PRC counsel, we are not subject to cybersecurity review with the Cyberspace
Administration of China, or CAC, given that: (i) our products and services are offered not directly to individual users but through our
institutional customers; (ii) we do not possess a large amount of personal information in our business operations; and (iii) data processed
in our business does not have a bearing on national security and thus may not be classified as core or important data by the authorities.
See also “ Risk Factors - General Risks Associated with Business Operations in China - Our business may be subject to
a variety of PRC laws and other obligations regarding cybersecurity and data protection .” In addition, as confirmed by our
PRC counsel, we are not subject to merger control review by China’s anti-monopoly enforcement agency due to the level of our revenues
which provided from us and audited by our auditor BF Borgers CPA PC, and the fact that we currently do not expect to propose or implement
any acquisition of control of, or decisive influence over, any company with revenues within China of more than RMB400 million. Currently,
these statements and regulatory actions have had no impact on our daily business operation, the ability to accept foreign investments
and list our securities on an U.S. or other foreign exchange. Since these statements and regulatory actions are new, it is highly uncertain
how soon legislative or administrative regulation making bodies will respond and what existing or new laws or regulations or detailed
implementations and interpretations will be modified or promulgated, if any, and the potential impact such modified or new laws and regulations
will have on our daily business operation, the ability to accept foreign investments and list our securities on an U.S. or other foreign
exchange.
You
may have difficulty enforcing judgments against us.
We
are a Nevada corporation and most of our assets are and will be located outside of the United States. Almost all of our operations will
be conducted in China. In addition, our officers and directors are nationals and residents of a country other than the United States.
All of their assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for you to effect service of process within
the United States upon them. It may also be difficult for you to enforce in U.S. courts judgments on the civil liability provisions of
the U.S. federal securities laws against us and our officer and director, since he is not a resident in the United States. In addition,
there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of China would recognize or enforce judgments of U.S. courts.
Foreign
exchange fluctuations may affect our business.
We
accept the payment for services in Chinese Yuan (CNY), Hong Kong Dollars (HKD), and U.S. Dollars (USD). Therefore, foreign exchange fluctuations
may influence our business in unpredictable ways.
27
The
value of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in political
and economic conditions and the foreign exchange policy adopted by the PRC government. For instance, in August 2015, the People’s
Bank of China, or PBOC, changed the way it calculates the mid-point price of Renminbi against the U.S. dollar, requiring the market-makers
who submit for reference rates to consider the previous day’s closing spot rate, foreign-exchange demand and supply as well as
changes in major currency rates. In 2016 and 2017, the value of the Renminbi depreciated approximately 7.2% and appreciated 6.3% against
the U.S. dollar, respectively. From April 2020 through the end of March 2021, the value of the Renminbi appreciated by approximately
7.4% against the U.S. dollar. It is difficult to predict how market forces or PRC or U.S. government policy, including any interest rate
increases by the Federal Reserve, may impact the exchange rate between the Renminbi and the U.S. dollar in the future. There remains
significant international pressure on the PRC government to adopt a more flexible currency policy, including from the U.S. government,
which has threatened to label China as a “currency manipulator,” which could result in greater fluctuation of the Renminbi
against the U.S. dollar.
A
substantial percentage of our revenues and costs are denominated in Renminbi, and a significant portion of our assets are also denominated
in Renminbi. We are a holding company and we rely on dividends, loans and other distributions on equity paid by our operating subsidiaries
in China. Any significant fluctuations in the value of the Renminbi may materially and adversely affect our liquidity and cash flows.
Appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the Renminbi would have a negative effect on the U.S. dollar amount we would receive. Conversely,
to the extent that we need to convert U.S. dollars into Renminbi for our operations, appreciation of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar
would have an adverse effect on the Renminbi amount we would receive.
Inflation
could pose a risk to our business.
Inflation
is an important factor that must be considered as we move forward. A change in the rate of inflation could influence the profits that
we generate from our business. When the rate of inflation rises, the operational costs of running our company would increase, such as
labor costs, raw materials and public utilities, affecting our ability to provide our services at competitive prices. An increase in
the rate of inflation would force our clients to search for other service providers, causing us to lose business and revenue.
Changes
in the policies, regulations, rules and the enforcement of laws of the PRC government may be quick with little advance notice and could
have a significant impact upon the business we may be able to conduct in the PRC and the profitability of such business.
The
PRC’s economy is in a transition from a planned economy to a market oriented economy subject to five-year and annual plans adopted
by the central government that set national economic development goals. Policies of the PRC government can have significant effects on
the economic conditions of the PRC. The PRC government has confirmed that economic development will follow the model of a market economy.
Under this direction, we believe that the PRC will continue to strengthen its economic and trading relationships with foreign countries
and business development in the PRC will follow market forces. While we believe that this trend will continue, we cannot assure you that
this will be the case. Changes in policies, regulations, rules and the enforcement of laws by the PRC government, which changes may be
quick with little advance notice, could adversely affect our interests by, among other factors: changes in laws, regulations or the interpretation
thereof, confiscatory taxation, restrictions on currency conversion, imports or sources of supplies, or the expropriation or nationalization
of private enterprises. Although the PRC government has been pursuing economic reform policies for more than two decades, we cannot assure
you that the government will continue to pursue such policies or that such policies may not be significantly altered, especially in the
event of a change in leadership, social or political disruption, or other circumstances affecting the PRC’s political, economic
and social environment.
There
are uncertainties regarding the interpretation and enforcement of PRC laws, rules and regulations.
Most
of our operations are conducted in the PRC, and are governed by PRC laws, rules and regulations. Our PRC Subsidiaries are subject to
laws, rules and regulations applicable to foreign investment in China. The PRC legal system is a civil law system based on written statutes.
Unlike the common law system, prior court decisions may be cited for reference but have limited precedential value.
28
In
1979, the PRC government began to promulgate a comprehensive system of laws, rules and regulations governing economic matters in general.
The overall effect of legislation over the past four decades has significantly enhanced the protections afforded to various forms of
foreign investment in China. However, China has not developed a fully integrated legal system, and recently enacted laws, rules and regulations
may not sufficiently cover all aspects of economic activities in China or may be subject to significant degree of interpretation by PRC
regulatory agencies and courts. In particular, because these laws, rules and regulations are relatively new, and because of the limited
number of published decisions and the non-precedential nature of these decisions, and because the laws, rules and regulations often give
the relevant regulator significant discretion in how to enforce them, the interpretation and enforcement of these laws, rules and regulations
involve uncertainties and can be inconsistent and unpredictable. Therefore, it is possible that our existing operations may be found
not to be in full compliance with relevant laws and regulations in the future. In addition, the PRC legal system is based in part on
government policies and internal rules, some of which are not published on a timely basis or at all, and which may have a retroactive
effect. As a result, we may not be aware of our violation of these policies and rules until after the occurrence of the violation.
Any
administrative and court proceedings in China may be protracted, resulting in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management
attention. Since PRC administrative and court authorities have significant discretion in interpreting and implementing statutory and
contractual terms, it may be more difficult to evaluate the outcome of administrative and court proceedings and the level of legal protection
we enjoy than in more developed legal systems. These uncertainties may impede our ability to enforce the contracts we have entered into
and could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
PRC
regulations regarding acquisitions impose significant regulatory approval and review requirements, which could make it more difficult
for us to pursue growth through acquisitions.
Under
the PRC Anti-Monopoly Law, companies undertaking acquisitions relating to businesses in China must notify the anti-monopoly enforcement
agency, in advance of any transaction where the parties’ revenues in the China market exceed certain thresholds and the buyer would
obtain control of, or decisive influence over, the other party. In addition, on August 8, 2006, six PRC regulatory agencies, including
the MOFCOM, the State-Owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, the State Administration of Taxation, the SAIC, the China
Securities Regulatory Commission, or the CSRC, and the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or SAFE, jointly adopted the Regulations
on Mergers and Acquisitions of Domestic Enterprises by Foreign Investors, or the M&A Rules, which came into effect on September 8,
2006 and was amended on June 22, 2009. Under the M&A Rules, the approval of MOFCOM must be obtained in circumstances where overseas
companies established or controlled by PRC enterprises or residents acquire domestic companies affiliated with such PRC enterprises or
residents. Applicable PRC laws, rules and regulations also require certain merger and acquisition transactions to be subject to security
review.
While
the approval of the China Securities Regulatory Commission is not currently required for our offerings, it may be required in
the future in connection with such offerings under the M&A Rules and, if required, we cannot predict whether we will
be able to obtain such approval.
The
M&A Rules requires overseas special purpose vehicles that are controlled by PRC companies or individuals formed for the purpose of
seeking a public listing on an overseas stock exchange through acquisitions of PRC domestic companies using shares of such special purpose
vehicles or held by their shareholders as considerations to obtain the approval of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, or the
CSRC, prior to the listing and trading of such special purpose vehicle’s securities on an overseas stock exchange. However, the
application of the M&A Rules remains unclear. According to the searches conducted by us and our PRC counsel on the official website
of the CSRC and its administrative license processing hall (https://neris.csrc.gov.cn/alappl/home/guideH), at present, only one administrative
license related to overseas public offering and listing is enacted, that is, “examination and approval of overseas public offering
shares and listing (including additional issuance) of joint-stock companies”. Such examination and approval license requirements
are only applicable to issuers which are formed as PRC joint-stock companies in China under PRC law. None of our operating PRC Subsidiaries
is formed as a PRC joint-stock company in China, and as such, we do not believe that we need CSRC approval. We do not believe that the
current PRC regulations and rules including China Securities Law require explicitly and directly that the overseas listing of foreign
issuers who indirectly hold the rights and interests of Chinese domestic enterprises be examined and approved by the CSRC. If CSRC approval
is required, it is uncertain whether it would be possible for us to obtain the approval. Any failure to obtain or delay in obtaining
CSRC approval for our offerings would subject us to sanctions imposed by the CSRC and other PRC regulatory agencies.
29
On
December 24, 2021, the China Securities Regulatory Commission, or the CSRC, issued Provisions of the State Council on the Administration
of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies (Draft for Comments) (the “Administration Provisions”),
and the Administrative Measures for the Filing of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies (the “Measures”),
which were open for public comments by January 23, 2022. The Administration Provisions and Measures for overseas listings lay out specific
requirements for filing documents and include unified regulation management, strengthening regulatory coordination, and cross-border
regulatory cooperation. Domestic companies seeking to list abroad must carry out relevant security screening procedures if their businesses
involve supervisions such as foreign investment security and cyber security reviews. Companies endangering national security are among
those off-limits for overseas listings. As the Administration Provisions and Measures have not yet come into effect, we are currently
unaffected by them. However, it is uncertain when the Administration Provision and the Measures will take effect or if they will take
effect as currently drafted.
While the application of the
M&A Rules remain unclear, we believe, based on the advice of our PRC legal counsel, Hiways Law Firm (Shenzhen), based on its understanding
of the current PRC laws, regulations and rules that the CSRC’s approval is not required the context of overseas public offerings
of our securities to foreign investors given that: (i) the CSRC currently has not issued any definitive rule or interpretation concerning
whether the overseas offerings to foreign investors of securities of foreign issuers who indirectly hold the rights and interests of
Chinese domestic enterprises through the holding corporate structure are subject to this regulation, (ii) Qianhai Yingxi Texitile &
Garments Co., Ltd. or our WFOE, was incorporated as a wholly foreign-owned enterprise by means of direct investment, or an enterprise
that was already controlled by a foreign-owned enterprise before the merger, rather than by merger or acquisition of equity interest
or assets of a PRC domestic company owned by PRC companies or individuals as defined under the M&A Rules; (iii) Qianhai Yingxi Texitile
& Garments Co., Ltd. or our WFOE did not encounter any substantial obstacles in the process of establishment or equity transfer. Our
PRC legal counsel has also made a formal telephone inquiry with the International Department of the CSRC and received an oral response
from the CSRC. The CSRC confirmed in its response to our inquiry that our contemplated overseas public offerings of our securities to
foreign investors does not require the examination and approval of the CSRC in accordance with the existing PRC legislation and regulations.
We neither received nor were denied permission from CSRC or other PRC government agencies to list our securities on the NASDAQ and issue
our securities to foreign investors.
There
remains some uncertainty as to how the M&A Rules will be interpreted or implemented in
the context of an overseas offering. We cannot assure you that relevant PRC government agencies,
including the CSRC, would reach the same conclusion as we do. If it is determined that CSRC
approval is required for our contemplated overseas public offerings, or if we inadvertently
conclude that such approval is not required when it is, we may face sanctions by the CSRC
or other PRC regulatory agencies for failure to obtain or delay in obtaining CSRC approval
for this offering. These sanctions may include fines and penalties on our operations in China,
limitations on our operating privileges in China, delays in or restrictions on the repatriation
of the proceeds from this offering into the PRC, restrictions on or prohibition of the payments
or remittance of dividends by our subsidiaries in China, or other actions that could have
a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations,
reputation and prospects, as well as the trading price of our securities. The CSRC or other
PRC regulatory agencies may also take actions requiring us, or making it advisable for us,
to halt our offerings before the settlement and delivery of the securities that we offer.
Consequently, if you engage in market trading or other activities in anticipation of and
prior to the settlement and delivery of the securities we offer, the investors would be doing
so at the risk that the settlement and delivery may not occur. In addition, if the CSRC or
other regulatory agencies later promulgate new rules or explanations requiring that we obtain
their approvals for our offerings, we may be unable to obtain a waiver of such approval requirements.
As
of the date of this annual report, other than the response from the CSRC as discussed above, we have not received any inquiry, notice,
warning, sanctions or regulatory objection to our offerings from the CSRC or any other PRC governmental authorities, and our PRC Subsidiaries
have obtained all requisite permissions from PRC governmental authorities to operate our business as currently conducted under relevant
PRC laws and regulations.
Currently,
each of our PRC Subsidiaries holds and maintains a business license issued by the local market supervision and administration bureau,
and has received all requisite permissions in order to conduct and operate our business. As of the date of this annual report, none of
our PRC Subsidiaries has been denied or punished by relevant governmental authorities due to its business qualifications.
30
Our
business may be subject to a variety of PRC laws and other obligations regarding cybersecurity and data protection.
Our
business may be subject to PRC laws relating to the collection, use, sharing, retention, security, and transfer of confidential and private
information, such as personal information and other data. These laws continue to develop, and the PRC government may adopt other rules
and restrictions in the future. Non-compliance could result in penalties or other significant legal liabilities.
Pursuant
to the PRC Cybersecurity Law, which was promulgated by the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress on November 7,
2016 and took effect on June 1, 2017, personal information and important data collected and generated by a critical information infrastructure
operator in the course of its operations in China must be stored in China, and if a critical information infrastructure operator purchases
internet products and services that affects or may affect national security, it should be subject to cybersecurity review by the Cyberspace
Administration of China (“CAC”). Due to the lack of further interpretations, the exact scope of “critical information
infrastructure operator” remains unclear.
On
April 13, 2020, twelve Chinese government agencies jointly promulgated the Measures for Cybersecurity Review, which became effective
on June 1, 2020, set forth the cybersecurity review mechanism for critical information infrastructure operators, and provided that critical
information infrastructure operators who intend to purchase internet products and services that affect or may affect national security
shall be subject to a cybersecurity review. On June 10, 2021, the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress promulgated
the PRC Data Security Law, which will take effect in September 2021. The Data Security Law provides for a security review procedure for
the data activities that may affect national security. Moreover, the State Internet Information Office issued the Measures of Cybersecurity
Review (Revised Draft for Comments, not yet effective) on July 10, 2021, which requires operators with personal information of more than
1 million users who want to list abroad to file a cybersecurity review with the CAC. Furthermore, the General Office of the Central Committee
of the Communist Party of China and the General Office of the State Council jointly issued the Opinions on Severe and Lawful Crackdown
on Illegal Securities Activities, which was available to the public on July 6, 2021. These opinions emphasized the need to strengthen
the administration over illegal securities activities and the supervision on overseas listings by China-based companies. These opinions
proposed to take effective measures, such as promoting the construction of relevant regulatory systems, to deal with the risks and incidents
facing China-based overseas-listed companies and the demand for cybersecurity and data privacy protection. As these laws, opinions and
the draft measures were recently issued, official guidance and interpretation of these remain unclear in several respects at this time,
and the PRC government authorities may have wide discretion in the interpretation and enforcement of these laws, opinions and the draft
measures. Therefore, it is uncertain whether the future regulatory changes would impose additional restrictions on our business
The
Data Security Law also sets forth the data security protection obligations for entities and individuals handling personal data, including
that no entity or individual may acquire such data by stealing or other illegal means, and the collection and use of such data should
not exceed the necessary limits The costs of compliance with, and other burdens imposed by, PRC Cybersecurity Law and any other cybersecurity
and related laws may limit the use and adoption of our products and services and could have an adverse impact on our business. Further,
if the enacted version of the Measures for Cybersecurity Review mandates clearance of cybersecurity review and other specific actions
to be completed by companies like us, we face uncertainties as to whether such clearance can be timely obtained, or at all.
As confirmed by our PRC counsel,
we are not be subject to the cybersecurity review by the CAC for overseas public offerings of our securities to foreign investors, given
that: (i) our products and services are offered not directly to individual users but through our institutional customers; (ii) we do
not possess a large amount of personal information in our business operations; and (iii) data processed in our business does not have
a bearing on national security and thus may not be classified as core or important data by the authorities. However, there remains uncertainty
as to how the Draft Measures will be interpreted or implemented and whether the PRC regulatory agencies, including the CAC, may adopt
new laws, regulations, rules, or detailed implementation and interpretation related to the Draft Measures. If any such new laws, regulations,
rules, or implementation and interpretation comes into effect, we will take all reasonable measures and actions to comply and to minimize
the adverse effect of such laws on us.
We
cannot assure you that PRC regulatory agencies, including the CAC, would take the same view as we do, and there is no assurance that
we can fully or timely comply with such laws. In the event that we are subject to any mandatory cybersecurity review and other specific
actions required by the CAC, we face uncertainty as to whether any clearance or other required actions can be timely completed, or at
all. Given such uncertainty, we may be further required to suspend our relevant business, shut down our website, or face other penalties,
which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
31
PRC
regulations relating to investments in offshore companies by PRC residents may subject our PRC-resident beneficial owners or our PRC
Subsidiaries to liability or penalties, limit our ability to inject capital into our PRC Subsidiaries or limit our PRC Subsidiaries’
ability to increase their registered capital or distribute profits.
SAFE
promulgated the Circular on Relevant Issues Concerning Foreign Exchange Control on Domestic Residents’ Offshore Investment and
Financing and Roundtrip Investment through Special Purpose Vehicles, or SAFE Circular 37, on July 4, 2014, which replaced the former
circular commonly known as “SAFE Circular 75” promulgated by SAFE on October 21, 2005. SAFE Circular 37 requires PRC residents
to register with local branches of SAFE in connection with their direct establishment or indirect control of an offshore entity, for
the purpose of overseas investment and financing, with such PRC residents’ legally owned assets or equity interests in domestic
enterprises or offshore assets or interests, referred to in SAFE Circular 37 as a “special purpose vehicle.” SAFE Circular
37 further requires amendment to the registration in the event of any significant changes with respect to the special purpose vehicle,
such as increase or decrease of capital contributed by PRC individuals, share transfer or exchange, merger, division or other material
event. In the event that a PRC shareholder holding interests in a special purpose vehicle fails to fulfill the required SAFE registration,
the PRC Subsidiaries of that special purpose vehicle may be prohibited from making profit distributions to the offshore parent and from
carrying out subsequent cross-border foreign exchange activities, and the special purpose vehicle may be restricted in its ability to
contribute additional capital into its PRC Subsidiaries. Moreover, failure to comply with the various SAFE registration requirements
described above could result in liability under PRC law for evasion of foreign exchange controls.
We
have notified substantial beneficial owners of shares of common stock who we know are PRC residents of their filing obligation, and pursuant
to SAFE Circular 37, we have periodically filed and updated the above-mentioned foreign exchange registration on behalf of certain employee
shareholders who we know are PRC residents. However, we may not be aware of the identities of all of our beneficial owners who are PRC
residents. We do not have control over our beneficial owners and cannot assure you that all of our PRC-resident beneficial owners will
comply with SAFE Circular 37 and subsequent implementation rules. The failure of our beneficial owners who are PRC residents to register
or amend their SAFE registrations in a timely manner pursuant to SAFE Circular 37 and subsequent implementation rules, or the failure
of future beneficial owners of our company who are PRC residents to comply with the registration procedures set forth in SAFE Circular
37 and subsequent implementation rules, may subject the beneficial owners or our PRC Subsidiaries to fines and legal sanctions. On February
13, 2015, SAFE promulgated a Notice on Further Simplifying and Improving Foreign Exchange Administration Policy on Direct Investment,
or SAFE Notice 13, which became effective on June 1, 2015. Pursuant to SAFE Notice 13, entities and individuals are required to apply
for foreign exchange registration of foreign direct investment and overseas direct investment, including those required under the SAFE
Circular 37, with designated domestic banks, instead of SAFE. The designated domestic banks will directly review the applications and
conduct the registration.
Furthermore,
since it is unclear how those new SAFE regulations, and any future regulation concerning offshore or cross-border transactions, will
be interpreted, amended and implemented by the relevant PRC government authorities, we cannot predict how these regulations will affect
our business operations or future strategy. Failure to register or comply with relevant requirements may also limit our ability to contribute
additional capital to our PRC Subsidiaries and limit our PRC Subsidiaries’ ability to distribute dividends to our company. These
risks may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
32
We
may be treated as a resident enterprise for PRC tax purposes under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, and we may therefore be subject
to PRC income tax on our global income.
Under
the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law and its implementing rules, both of which came into effect on January 1, 2008, enterprises established
under the laws of jurisdictions outside of China with “de facto management bodies” located in China may be considered PRC
tax resident enterprises for tax purposes and may be subject to the PRC enterprise income tax at the rate of 25% on their global income.
“De facto management body” refers to a managing body that exercises substantive and overall management and control over the
production and business, personnel, accounting books and assets of an enterprise. The State Administration of Taxation issued the Notice
Regarding the Determination of Chinese-Controlled Offshore-Incorporated Enterprises as PRC Tax Resident Enterprises on the basis of de
facto management bodies, or Circular 82, on April 22, 2009. Circular 82 provides certain specific criteria for determining whether the
“de facto management body” of a Chinese-controlled offshore-incorporated enterprise is located in China. Although Circular
82 only applies to offshore enterprises controlled by PRC enterprises, not those controlled by foreign enterprises or individuals, the
determining criteria set forth in Circular 82 may reflect the State Administration of Taxation’s general position on how the “de
facto management body” test should be applied in determining the tax resident status of offshore enterprises, regardless of whether
they are controlled by PRC enterprises. If we were to be considered a PRC resident enterprise, we would be subject to PRC enterprise
income tax at the rate of 25% on our global income. In such case, our profitability and cash flow may be materially reduced as a result
of our global income being taxed under the Enterprise Income Tax Law. We believe that none of our entities outside of China is a PRC
resident enterprise for PRC tax purposes. However, the tax resident status of an enterprise is subject to determination by the PRC tax
authorities and uncertainties remain with respect to the interpretation of the term “de facto management body.”
Restrictions
on currency exchange may limit our ability to utilize our PRC revenue effectively.
We
(Addentax Group Corp.) are a Nevada holding company with no material operations of our own. We conduct substantially all of our operations
through the operating companies established in the PRC, primarily Shenzhen Qianhai Yingxi Industrial Chain Service Co., Ltd. (“YX”),
our wholly owned subsidiary and its subsidiaries. We are a holding company and do not directly own any substantive business operations
in the China. Substantially all of our revenue is denominated in Renminbi. The Renminbi is currently convertible under the “current
account,” which includes dividends, trade and service-related foreign exchange transactions, but requires approval from or registration
with appropriate government authorities or designated banks under the “capital account,” which includes foreign direct investment
and loans, including loans we may secure from our onshore subsidiaries. Currently, one of our PRC Subsidiaries, which is a wholly-foreign
owned enterprise, may purchase foreign currency for settlement of “current account transactions,” including payment of dividends
to us, without the approval of SAFE by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, the relevant PRC governmental authorities
or the local bank may limit or eliminate our ability to purchase foreign currencies in the future for current account transactions.
Since
2016, PRC governmental authorities have imposed more stringent restrictions on outbound capital flows, including heightened scrutiny
over “irrational” overseas investments for certain industries, as well as over four kinds of “abnormal” offshore
investments, which are:
●
investments through enterprises established for only a few months without substantive operation;
●
investments with amounts far exceeding the registered capital of onshore parent and not supported by its business performance shown on
financial statements;
●
investments in targets which are unrelated to onshore parent’s main business; and
●
investments with abnormal sources of Renminbi funding suspected to be involved in illegal transfer of assets or illegal operation of
underground banking.
33
On
January 26, 2017, SAFE promulgated the Circular on Further Improving Reform of Foreign Exchange Administration and Optimizing Genuineness
and Compliance Verification, which tightened the authenticity and compliance verification of cross-border transactions and cross-border
capital flow, including requiring banks to verify board resolutions, tax filing forms and audited financial statements before wiring
foreign invested enterprises’ foreign exchange dividend distribution of over US$50,000. In addition, the Outbound Investment Sensitive
Industry Catalogue (2018) lists certain sensitive industries that are subject to NDRC pre-approval requirements prior to remitting investment
funds offshore, which subjects us to increased approval requirements and restrictions with respect to our overseas investment activity.
Since a significant amount of our PRC revenue is denominated in Renminbi, any existing and future restrictions on currency exchange may
limit our ability to utilize revenue generated in Renminbi to fund our business activities outside of the PRC, make investments, service
any debt we may incur outside of China or pay dividends in foreign currencies to our shareholders.
The
disclosures in our reports and other filings with the SEC and our other public pronouncements are not subject to the scrutiny of any
regulatory bodies in the PRC.
We
are regulated by the SEC and our reports and other filings with the SEC are subject to SEC review in accordance with the rules and regulations
promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act. Our SEC reports and other disclosure and public pronouncements
are not subject to the review or scrutiny of any PRC regulatory authority. For example, the disclosure in our SEC reports and other filings
are not subject to the review by China Securities Regulatory Commission, a PRC regulator that is responsible for oversight of the capital
markets in China. Accordingly, you should review our SEC reports, filings and our other public pronouncements with the understanding
that no local regulator has done any review of us, our SEC reports, other filings or any of our other public pronouncements.
Introduction
of new laws or changes to existing laws by the PRC government may adversely affect our business.
The
PRC legal system is a codified legal system made up of written laws, regulations, circulars, administrative directives and internal guidelines.
Unlike common law jurisdictions like the U.S., decided cases (which may be taken as reference) do not form part of the legal structure
of the PRC and thus have no binding effect on subsequent cases with similar issues and fact patterns. Furthermore, in line with its transformation
from a centrally-planned economy to a more free market-oriented economy, the PRC government is still in the process of developing a comprehensive
set of laws and regulations. As the legal system in the PRC is still evolving, laws and regulations or the interpretation of the same
may be subject to further changes. For example, the PRC government may impose restrictions on the amount of service fees that may be
payable by municipal governments to wastewater and sludge treatment service providers. Also, the PRC central and municipal governments
may impose more stringent environmental regulations which would affect our ability to comply with, or our costs to comply with, such
regulations. Such changes, if implemented, may adversely affect our business operations and may reduce our profitability.
Risks
Relating to Our Holding Company Structure
Substantial
uncertainties exist with respect to the interpretation and implementation of the newly enacted Foreign Investment Law and how it may
impact the viability of our current corporate structure, corporate governance and business operations.
On
March 15, 2019, the PRC National People’s Congress approved the Foreign Investment Law, which came into effect on January 1, 2020
and replaces the trio of existing laws regulating foreign investment in the PRC, namely, the Sino-Foreign Equity Joint Venture Enterprise
Law, the Sino-Foreign Cooperative Joint Venture Enterprise Law and the Wholly Foreign-Invested Enterprise Law, together with their implementation
rules and ancillary regulations and become the legal foundation for foreign investment in the PRC. Meanwhile, the Implementation Regulation
of the Foreign Investment Law and the Measures for Reporting of Information on Foreign Investment came into effect as of January
1, 2020, which clarified and elaborated the relevant provisions of the Foreign Investment Law .
34
The
Foreign Investment Law sets out the basic regulatory framework for foreign investments and proposes to implement a system of pre-entry
national treatment with a negative list for foreign investments, pursuant to which (i) foreign entities and individuals are prohibited
from investing in the areas that are not open to foreign investments, (ii) foreign investments in the restricted industries must satisfy
certain requirements under the law, and (iii) foreign investments in business sectors outside of the negative list will be treated equally
with domestic investments. The Foreign Investment Law also sets forth necessary mechanisms to facilitate, protect and manage foreign
investments and proposes to establish a foreign investment information reporting system, through which foreign investors or foreign-invested
enterprises are required to submit initial report, report of changes, report of deregistration and annual report relating to their investments
to the Ministry of Commerce, or MOFCOM, or its local branches.
Although
our operating structure is legal and permissible under the current Chinese law and regulations, including the Foreign Investment Law,
Chinese regulatory authorities could disallow our operating structure, which would likely result in a material change in our operations
and/or the value of our common stock, including that it could cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or become worthless.
We
may rely on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by our PRC Subsidiaries to fund any cash and financing requirements we may
have, and any limitation on the ability of our PRC Subsidiaries to make payments to us could have a material and adverse effect on our
ability to conduct our business.
We
are a Nevada holding company and we rely principally on dividends and other distributions on equity from our PRC Subsidiaries for our
cash requirements, including the funds necessary to pay dividends and other cash distributions to our shareholders for services of any
debt we may incur. If our PRC Subsidiaries incur debt on its own behalf in the future, the instruments governing the debt may restrict
their ability to pay dividends or make other distributions to us. Under PRC laws and regulations, our PRC Subsidiaries, which are wholly
foreign-owned enterprises, may pay dividends only out of their respective accumulated profits as determined in accordance with PRC accounting
standards and regulations. In addition, a wholly foreign-owned enterprise is required to set aside at least 10% of its accumulated after-tax
profits each year, if any, to fund a certain statutory reserve fund, until the aggregate amount of such fund reaches 50% of its registered
capital. Such reserve funds cannot be distributed to us as dividends. At its discretion, a wholly foreign-owned enterprise may allocate
a portion of its after-tax profits based on PRC accounting standards to an enterprise expansion fund, or a staff welfare and bonus fund.
A
portion of our revenue was generated by our PRC Subsidiaries in Renminbi, which is not freely convertible into other currencies. As a
result, any restriction on currency exchange may limit the ability of our PRC Subsidiaries to use their Renminbi revenues to pay dividends
to us.
The
PRC government may continue to strengthen its capital controls, and more restrictions and substantial vetting process may be put forward
by SAFE for cross-border transactions falling under both the current account and the capital account. Any limitation on the ability of
our PRC Subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other kinds of payments to us could materially and adversely limit our ability to grow,
make investments or acquisitions that could be beneficial to our business, pay dividends, or otherwise fund and conduct our business.
In
addition, the Enterprise Income Tax Law and its implementation rules provide that a withholding tax rate of up to 10% will be applicable
to dividends payable by Chinese companies to non-PRC-resident enterprises unless otherwise exempted or reduced according to treaties
or arrangements between the PRC central government and governments of other countries or regions where the non-PRC-resident enterprises
are incorporated.
35
PRC
regulation of loans to and direct investment in PRC entities by offshore holding companies and governmental control of currency conversion
may delay or prevent us from using the proceeds of our offerings to make loans or additional capital contributions to our
PRC subsidiaries, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand our business.
We
are an offshore holding company conducting our operations in China through our PRC Subsidiaries. We may in the future make loans or provide
guarantee to our PRC Subsidiaries subject to the approval or registration from governmental authorities and limitation of amount, or
we may make additional capital contributions to our wholly foreign-owned subsidiary in China. Any loans to our wholly foreign-owned subsidiaries
in China, which are treated as foreign-invested enterprise under PRC law, are subject to foreign exchange loan registrations. In addition,
a foreign-invested enterprise, or FIE, shall use its capital pursuant to the principle of authenticity and self-use within its business
scope. The capital of an FIE shall not be used for the following purposes: (i) directly or indirectly used for payment beyond the business
scope of the enterprises or the payment prohibited by relevant laws and regulations; (ii) directly or indirectly used for investment
in securities or investments other than banks’ principal-secured products unless otherwise provided by relevant laws and regulations;
(iii) the granting of loans to non-affiliated enterprises, except where it is expressly permitted in the business license; and (iv) paying
the expenses related to the purchase of real estate that is not for self-use (except for the foreign-invested real estate enterprises).
In
light of the various requirements imposed by PRC regulations on loans to and direct investment in PRC entities by offshore holding companies,
we cannot assure you that we will be able to complete the necessary government registrations or obtain the necessary government approvals
on a timely basis, if at all, with respect to future loans by us to our PRC Subsidiaries or with respect to future capital contributions
by us to our PRC Subsidiaries. If we fail to complete such registrations or obtain such approvals, our ability to use the proceeds from
our offerings and to capitalize or otherwise fund our PRC operations may be negatively affected, which could materially
and adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand our business.
Risks
Related to our Common Stock
The
market price of our shares is likely to be highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to factors such as:
●
variations
in our actual and perceived operating results;
●
news
regarding gains or losses of customers or partners by us or our competitors;
●
news
regarding gains or losses of key personnel by us or our competitors;
●
announcements
of competitive developments, acquisitions or strategic alliances in our industry by us or our competitors;
●
changes
in earnings estimates or buy/sell recommendations by financial analysts;
●
potential
litigation;
●
the
imposition of fines or penalties related to our activities in the PRC and failure to comply with applicable rules and regulations;
●
general
market conditions or other developments affecting us or our industry; and
●
the
operating and stock price performance of other companies, other industries and other events or factors beyond our control.
In
addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are not related to
the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price
of the shares.
36
We
may never be able to pay dividends and are unlikely to do so.
To
date, we have not paid, nor do we intend to pay in the foreseeable future, dividends on our common stock, even if we become profitable.
Earnings, if any, are expected to be used to advance our activities and for working capital and general corporate purposes, rather than
to make distributions to stockholders. Since we are not in a financial position to pay dividends on our common stock and future dividends
are not presently being contemplated, investors are advised that return on investment in our common stock is restricted to an appreciation
in the share price. The potential or likelihood of an increase in share price is uncertain.
In
addition, under Nevada law, we may only pay dividends subject to our ability to service our debts as they become due and provided that
our assets will exceed our liabilities after the dividend. Our ability to pay dividends will therefore depend on our ability to generate
sufficient profits. Further, because of the various rules applicable to our operations in China and the regulations on foreign investments
as well as the applicable tax law, we may be subject to further limitations on our ability to declare and pay dividends to our shareholders.
Shareholders
may be diluted significantly through our efforts to obtain financing and satisfy obligations through the issuance of securities.
Wherever
possible, our board of directors will attempt to use non-cash consideration to satisfy obligations. In many instances, we believe that
the non-cash consideration will consist of shares of our common stock, warrants to purchase shares of our common stock or other securities.
Our board of directors has authority, without action or vote of the shareholders, to issue all or part of the authorized but unissued
shares of common stock or warrants to purchase such shares of common stock. In addition, we may attempt to raise capital by selling shares
of our common stock, possibly at a discount to market in the future. These actions will result in dilution of the ownership interests
of existing shareholders and may further dilute common stock book value, and that dilution may be material. Such issuances may also serve
to enhance existing management’s ability to maintain control of us, because the shares may be issued to parties or entities committed
to supporting existing management.
In
the event that our shares are traded, they may trade under $5.00 per share and thus will be a penny stock. Trading in penny stocks has
many restrictions and these restrictions could severely affect the price and liquidity of our shares.
In
the event that our stock trades below $5.00 per share, our stock would be known as a “penny stock”, which is subject to various
regulations involving disclosures to be given to you prior to the purchase of any penny stock. The SEC has adopted regulations which
generally define a “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject
to certain exceptions. Depending on market fluctuations, our common stock could be considered to be a “penny stock”. A penny
stock is subject to rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell these securities to persons other
than accredited investors. For transactions covered by these rules, the broker/dealer must make a special suitability determination for
the purchase of these securities. In addition, he must receive the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the
purchase. He must also provide certain written disclosures to the purchaser. Consequently, the “penny stock” rules may restrict
the ability of broker/dealers to sell our securities, and may negatively affect the ability of holders of shares of our common stock
to resell them. These disclosures require you to acknowledge that you understand the risks associated with buying penny stocks and that
you can absorb the loss of your entire investment. Penny stocks are low priced securities that do not have a very high trading volume.
Consequently, the price of the stock is often volatile and you may not be able to buy or sell the stock when you want to.

7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The
following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations for the years ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 should
be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and corresponding notes included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our discussion
includes forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as our plans, objectives,
expectations, and intentions. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking
statements as a result of a number of factors, including those set forth under the Risk Factors and Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking
Statements in this report. We use words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “project,”
“continuing,” “ongoing,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “may,”
“will,” “should,” “could,” “target”, “forecast” and similar expressions to
identify forward-looking statements.
Overview
Our
Business
We (Addentax Group Corp.)
are a Nevada holding company with no material operations of our own. We conduct substantially all of our operations through our operating
companies established in the PRC, primarily Shenzhen Qianhai Yingxi Industrial Chain Service Co., Ltd. (“YX”), our wholly
owned subsidiary and its subsidiaries. We are not a Chinese operating company. We are a holding company and do not directly own any substantive
business operations in China. Therefore, our investors will not directly hold any equity interests in our operating companies. Our holding
company structure involves unique risks to investors. Chinese regulatory authorities could disallow our operating structure, which would
likely result in a material change in our operations and/or the value of our common stock, including that it could cause the value of
such securities to significantly decline or become worthless. Our holding company, Addentax Group Corp., is listed on the OTCQB under
the symbol of “ATXG”. We classify our businesses into four segments: garment manufacturing, logistics services, property
management and subleasing, and epidemic prevention supplies.

and HFP to a third party respectively.
“ WFOE ”
refers to Qianhai Yingxi Textile & Garments Co., Ltd, a wholly foreign owned enterprise in China, which is indirectly wholly owned
by Addentax Group Corp.
Our
garment manufacturing business consists of sales made principally to wholesaler located in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”).
We have our own manufacturing facilities, with sufficient production capacity and skilled workers on production lines to ensure that
we meet our high quality control standards and timely delivery requirement for our customers. We conduct our garment manufacturing operations
through four wholly owned subsidiaries, namely Dongguan Heng Sheng Wei Garments Co., Ltd (“HSW”), Shantou Chenghai Dai Tou
Garments Co., Ltd (“DT”), Dongguan Yushang Clothing Co., Ltd (“YS”), and Shantou Yi Bai Yi Garments Co., Ltd
(“YBY”) which are located in the Guangdong province, China. In October, the Company disposed of DT to a third party at fair
value, which was also its carrying value as of September 30, 2020.
Our
logistics business consists of delivery and courier services covering approximately seven provinces in China. Although we have our own
motor vehicles and drivers, we currently outsource some of the business to our contractors. We believe outsourcing allows us to maximize
our capacity and maintain flexibility while reducing capital expenditures and the costs of keeping drivers during slow seasons. We conduct
our logistic operations through three wholly owned subsidiaries, namely Shenzhen Xin Kuai Jie Transportation Co., Ltd (“XKJ”),Shenzhen
Hua Peng Fa Logistic Co., Ltd (“HPF”), and Shenzhen Yingxi Peng Fa Logistic Co., Ltd (“PF”) which are located
in the Guangdong province, China. In November, the Company disposed of HPF to a third party at
fair value, which was also its carrying value as of November 30, 2020.
The
business operations, customers and suppliers of DT and HPF were retained by the Company; therefore, the disposition of the two subsidiaries
did not qualify as discontinued operations.
Our
property management and subleasing business provides shops subleasing and property management services for garment wholesalers and retailers
in garment market. We conduct our property management and subleasing operation through a wholly owned subsidiary, namely Dongguan Yingxi
Daying Commercial Co., Ltd (“DY”).
Our
epidemic prevention supplies business consists of manufacturing and distribution of epidemic prevention products and reselling of epidemic
prevention supplies purchased from third parties in both domestic and overseas markets. We conduct our manufacturing of the epidemic
prevention products in YS. We conduct the trading of epidemic prevention suppliers through Addentax Group Corp. (“ATXG”)
and Shenzhen Qianhai Yingxi Industrial Chain Services Co., Ltd (“YX”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

Business
Objectives
Garment
Manufacturing Business
We
believe the strength of our garment manufacturing business is mainly due to our consistent emphasis on exceptional quality and timely
delivery. The primary business objective for our garment manufacturing segment is to expand our customer base and improve our profit.
Logistics
Services Business
The
business objective and future plan for our logistics services segment is to establish an efficient logistic system and to build a nationwide
delivery and courier network in China. As of March 31, 2022, we provide logistic service to over 79 cities in approximately seven provinces
and two municipalities. We expect to develop 20 additional logistics routes in existing serving cities and improve the
Company’s profit in the year of 2023.
Property
Management and Subleasing Business
The
business objective of our property management and subleasing segment is to integrate resources in shopping mall, develop e-commerce bases
and the Internet celebrity economy together to drive to increase the value of the stores in the area. The short-term goal for the year
is to increase the occupancy rate of stores in the mall to more than 70%.
Epidemic
Prevention Supplies Business
The
primary objective of our epidemic prevention supplies business is to take the advantage of our resource in supply chain from the garment
manufacturing business segment to facilitate and maximize the production, distribution and resale of epidemic prevention supplies, in
order to increase our revenue base and improve our net profit.
Seasonality
of Business
Our
business is affected by seasonal trends, with higher levels of garment sales in our second and third quarters and higher logistic service
revenue in our third and fourth quarters. These trends primarily result from the timing of seasonal garment manufacturing shipments and
holiday periods in the logistic segment.
Collection
Policy
Garment
manufacturing business
For
our new customers, we generally require orders placed to be backed by advances or deposits. For our long-term and established customers
with good payment track records, we generally provide payment terms between 30 to 180 days following the delivery of finished goods.
Logistics
Services business
For
logistics services, we generally receive payments from the customers between 30 to 90 days following the date of the registration of
our receipt of packages.
42
Property
management and subleasing business
For
property management and subleasing business, we generally collect rental and management fees of the following month each month in advance.
Epidemic
prevention supplies business
For
Epidemic prevention supplies business, we generally receive payment from the customers within 30 days following the delivery of finished
goods. We would also give our long-term customers with a 12 months long credit term policy to maintain a good business relationship.
Economic
Uncertainty
Our
business is dependent on consumer demand for our products and services. We believe that the significant uncertainty in the economy in
China has increased our clients’ sensitivity to the cost of our products and services. We have experienced continued pricing pressure.
If the economic environment becomes weak, the economic conditions could have a negative impact on our sales growth and operating margins,
cash position and collection of accounts receivable. Additionally, business credit and liquidity have tightened in China. Some of our
suppliers and customers may face credit issues and could experience cash flow problems and other financial hardships. These factors currently
have not had an impact on the timeliness of receivable collections from our customers. We cannot predict at this time how this situation
will develop and whether accounts receivable may need to be allowed for or written off in the coming quarters.
Despite
the various risks and uncertainties associated with the current economy in China, we believe our core strengths will continue to allow
us to execute our strategy for long-term sustainable growth in revenue, net income and operating cash flow.
Summary
of Critical Accounting Policies
We
have identified critical accounting policies that, as a result of judgments, uncertainties, uniqueness and complexities of the underlying
accounting standards and operation involved could result in material changes to our financial position or results of operations under
different conditions or using different assumptions.
Estimates
and Assumptions
We
regularly evaluate the accounting estimates that we use to prepare our financial statements. In general, management’s estimates
are based on historical experience, on information from third party professionals, and on various other assumptions that are believed
to be reasonable under the facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management.
Revenue
Recognition
Revenue
is generated through sale of goods and delivery services. Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or
services and is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods
or services. In addition, the standard requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising
from contracts with customers. The amount of revenue that is recorded reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive
in exchange for those goods and services. The Company applies the following five-step model in order to determine this amount:
(i)
identification
of the promised goods and services in the contract;
(ii)
determination
of whether the promised goods and services are performance obligations, including whether they are distinct in the context of the
contract;
(iii)
measurement
of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration;
(iv)
allocation
of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and
(v)
recognition
of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation.
43
The
Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled
to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. Once a contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606
at contract inception, the Company reviews the contract to determine which performance obligations the Company must deliver and which
of these performance obligations are distinct. The Company recognizes as revenues the amount of the transaction price that is allocated
to the respective performance obligation when the performance obligation is satisfied or as it is satisfied. Generally, the Company’s
performance obligations are transferred to customers at a point in time, typically upon delivery.
For
all reporting periods, the Company has not disclosed the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for all product and service revenue
contracts with an original expected length of one year or less, which is an optional exemption that is permitted under the adopted rules.
Leases
Lessee
The
Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”)
assets, other current liabilities, and operating lease liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included in
property and equipment, other current liabilities, and other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.
ROU
assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease
payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present
value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of the leases do not provide an implicit rate, The Company generally use the incremental
borrowing rate based on the estimated rate of interest for collateralized borrowing over a similar term of the lease payments at commencement
date. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Lease expense for lease payments
is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Lessor
As
a lessor, the Company’s leases are classified as operating leases under ASC 842. Leases, in which the Company is the lessor, are
substantially all accounted for as operating leases and the lease components and non-lease components are accounted for separately. Rental
income from operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Initial direct costs incurred
in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognized on a straight-line
basis over the lease term.
Recently
issued and adopted accounting pronouncements
In
June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on
Financial Instruments. This standard requires a financial asset (or group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be
presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the
amortized cost basis of the financial asset(s) to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected on the financial
asset. This standard will be effective for the Company on April 1, 2023. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption
of this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.
44
The
Company reviews new accounting standards as issued. Management has not identified any other new standards that it believes will have
a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Revenue
Total
revenue for the year ended March 31, 2022 significantly decreased by approximately $12.0 million, or approximately 48.7%, as compared
with the year ended March 31, 2021. The significant decrease was mainly due to the decrease of revenue from the epidemic prevention supplies
business in the year ended March 31, 2022.
Revenue
generated from our garment manufacturing business contributed approximately $2.5 million, or approximately 19.9%, of our total revenue
for the year ended March 31, 2022. Revenue generated from the segment contributed approximately $6.9 million, or approximately 27.9%,
of our total revenue for the year ended March 31, 2021. The decrease of approximately $4.4 million was mainly due to factory
facilities renewal and repair , remaining factories cannot provide as much capacity
as before. We estimate the capacity will appear to recover at second quarter of FY2023.
Revenue
generated from our logistics services business contributed approximately $5.3 million, or approximately 42.0%, of our total revenue for
the year ended March 31, 2022. Revenue generated from the segment contributed approximately $4.6 million, or approximately 18.5%, of
our total revenue for the year ended March 31, 2021. The increase of approximately $0.7 million was mainly due to development of company’s
business.
Revenue
generated from our property management and subleasing business contributed approximately $4.3 million, or approximately 33.6%, of our
total revenue for the year ended March 31, 2022. Revenue generated from our property management and subleasing business contributed approximately
$1.3 million, or approximately 5.2%, of our total revenue for the year ended March 31, 2021. The increase of approximately
$3 million was mainly due to the increase in sub-leasing rate of the property.
Revenue
generated from our epidemic prevention supplies business contributed approximately $0.6 million, or approximately 4.5%, of our total
revenue for the year ended March 31, 2022. Revenue generated from our epidemic prevention supplies business contributed approximately
$12.0 million, or approximately 48.4%, of our total revenue for the year ended March 31, 2021. It included revenue from trading of merchandise
of epidemic prevention supplies. The significant decrease mainly because no profitable orders were
obtained during the year. The Company accepted sales orders very cautiously to make sure the sales orders can be matched with stable
suppliers to secure profitability of each order.

Summary
of cash flows
Summary
cash flows information for the years ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 is as follow:
2022
2021
(In U.S. dollars)
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities
$ 1,090,872
$ (4,223,008 )
Net cash used in investing activities
$ (198,122 )
$ (563,052 )
Net cash used in (provided by) financing activities
$ (1,372,803 )
$ 6,099,656
Net
cash provided by operating activities in the year ended March 31, 2022 was approximately $5.3 million more than that of the year ended
March 31, 2021. It was mainly because the net profit of fiscal year ended March 31, 2022 was approximately $3.7 million more than the
net loss of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021. The movement of operating assets and liabilities of the year ended March 31, 2022 resulted
in cash inflow of approximately $0.9 million, while the movement of operating assets and liabilities of the year ended March 31, 2021
resulted in negative cash flow of approximately $0.8 million. We shall try to improve our operating cash flow by closely monitoring the
timely collection of accounts and other receivables. We generally do not hold any significant inventory for more than ninety days, as
we typically manufacture upon customers’ order.
Net
cash used in investing activities for the year ended March 31, 2022 was approximately $0.3 million less than that of the year ended March
31, 2021. It was mainly because the purchase of plant and equipment in the year ended March 31, 2022 was approximately $0.2 million less
than the purchase of plant and equipment in prior year. In prior year, the Company also had a cash decrease of approximately $0.7 million
in disposal of one subsidiary in garment manufacturing segment and one subsidiary in logistics services segment. The Company also had
proceeds of approximately $0.5 million from the disposal of the two subsidiaries.
Net
cash provided by financing activities for the year ended March 31, 2022 was approximately $7.5 million less than the year ended March
31, 2021. It was mainly because the Company had net cash repayment of approximately $1.4 million to related parties’ borrowings,
while the Company has a proceeds of approximately $6.7 million from issue of ordinary shares in the year ended March 31, 2021.
Financial
Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
As
of March 31, 2022, we had cash on hand of approximately $1.4 million, total current assets of approximately $5.7 million and current
liabilities of approximately $10.4 million. We presently finance our operations primarily from cash flows from borrowings from related
parties and third parties. We also raised equity fund of approximately $3.74 million and approximately $3.0 million from the issuance
of common stocks in August 2020 and March 2021, respectively. We aim to improve our operating cash flows and anticipate that cash flows
from our operations and borrowings from related parties and third parties will continue to be our primary source of funds to finance
our short-term cash needs.
50
The
Company expects to finance operations primarily through cash flow from revenue and capital contributions from the CEO. During the year,
the CEO has provided financial support for the operations of the Company. In the event that the Company requires additional funding to
finance the growth of the Company’s current and expected future operations as well as to achieve our strategic objectives, the
CEO has indicated the intent and ability to provide additional equity financing.
The
growth and development of our business will require a significant amount of additional working capital. We currently have limited financial
resources and based on our current operating plan, we will need to raise additional capital in order to continue as a going concern.
We currently do not have adequate cash to meet our short or long-term objectives. In the event additional capital is raised, it may have
a dilutive effect on our existing stockholders.
We
are subject to all the substantial risks inherent in the development of a new business enterprise within an extremely competitive industry.
Due to the absence of a long standing operating history and the emerging nature of the markets in which we compete, we anticipate operating
losses until we can successfully implement our business strategy, which includes all associated revenue streams. Our revenue model is
new and evolving, and we cannot be certain that it will be successful. The potential profitability of this business model is unproven.
We may never ever achieve profitable operations. Our future operating results depend on many factors, including demand for our services,
the level of competition, and the ability of our officers to manage our business and growth. As a result of the emerging nature of the
market in which we compete, we may incur operating losses until such time as we can develop a substantial and stable revenue base. Additional
development expenses may delay or negatively impact the ability of the Company to generate profits. Accordingly, we cannot assure you
that our business model will be successful or that we can sustain revenue growth, achieve or sustain profitability, or continue as a
going concern.
Foreign
Currency Translation Risk
Our
operations are located in the China, which may give rise to significant foreign currency risks from fluctuations and the degree of volatility
in foreign exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”). All of our sales are in RMB. In the past
years, RMB continued to appreciate against the U.S. dollar. As of March 31, 2022, the market foreign exchange rate had decreased to RMB
6.34 to one U.S. dollar. Our financial statements are translated into U.S. dollars using the closing rate method. The balance sheet items
are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rates at the respective balance sheet dates. The capital and various reserves are
translated at historical exchange rates prevailing at the time of the transactions while income and expenses items are translated at
the average exchange rate for the period. All translation adjustments are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in the statement
of equity. The foreign currency translation loss for the years ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We
have no off-balance sheet arrangements (as that term is defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K) as of March 31, 2022 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.

REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To
the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Addentax Group Corp.:
Opinion
on the Financial Statements
We
have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Addentax Group Corp. (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2022 and
2021, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), changes in equity, and cash flows for each
of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”).
In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial positions of the Company as of March
31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2022,
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Basis
for Opinion
These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s
financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal
securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company
is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits
we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion
on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our
audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error
or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Emphasis
of Matter
The
Company has significant transactions with related parties, which are described in Note 5 to the financial statements. Transactions involving
related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm’s length basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, free
market dealings may not exist.

GROUP CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES
TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR
THE YEARS ENDED MARCH 31, 2022 AND 2021
1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS
ATXG
and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) are engaged in the business of garments manufacturing, providing logistic services,
property leasing and management service in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC” or “China”) and epidemic
prevention supplies manufacturing and distribution both in China and overseas markets.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries are prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations
of the U.S Securities and Exchanges Commission (“SEC”) and in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in
the U.S. (“US GAAP”). All material inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
GOING
CONCERN UNCERTAINTY
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented on the basis that the Company is a going concern. The going concern assumption
contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The
Company incurred net income of $ 77,998 and a net loss of $ 3,590,169 for the year ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. As of March
31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had net current liability of $ 4,703,213 and $ 4,430,933 , respectively, and a deficit on total equity of
$ 71,367 and $ 81,498 , respectively.
The
Company expects to finance operations primarily through cash flow from revenue and capital contributions from the CEO. During the year,
the CEO has provided financial support for the operations of the Company. In the event that the Company requires additional funding to
finance the growth of the Company’s current and expected future operations as well as to achieve its strategic objectives, the
CEO has indicated the intent and ability to provide additional equity financing.
The
growth and development of our business will require a significant amount of additional working capital. We currently have limited financial
resources and based on our current operating plan, we will need to raise additional capital in order to continue as a going concern.
We currently do not have adequate cash to meet our short or long-term objectives. In the event additional capital is raised, it may have
a dilutive effect on our existing stockholders.
We
are subject to all the substantial risks inherent in the development of a new business enterprise within an extremely competitive industry.
Due to the absence of a long standing operating history and the emerging nature of the markets in which we compete, we anticipate operating
losses until we can successfully implement our business strategy, which includes all associated revenue streams. Our revenue model is
new and evolving, and we cannot be certain that it will be successful. The potential profitability of this business model is unproven.
We may never ever achieve profitable operations. Our future operating results depend on many factors, including demand for our services,
the level of competition, and the ability of our officers to manage our business and growth. As a result of the emerging nature of the
market in which we compete, we may incur operating losses until such time as we can develop a substantial and stable revenue base. Additional
development expenses may delay or negatively impact the ability of the Company to generate profits. Accordingly, we cannot assure you
that our business model will be successful or that we can sustain revenue growth, achieve or sustain profitability, or continue as a
going concern.
F- 6
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Use of Estimates
The
preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires 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 periods. Management makes these estimates
using the best information available at the time the estimates are made; however actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
(b) Fair Value Measurement
Accounting
Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820 “ Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures “, which defines fair value, establishes
a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The statement clarifies that the exchange
price is the price in an orderly transaction between market participants to sell the asset or transfer the liability in the market in
which the reporting entity would transact for the asset or liability, that is, the principal or most advantageous market for the asset
or liability. It also emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement, and that market participant
assumptions include assumptions about risk and effect of a restriction on the sale or use of an asset.
This
ASC establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy
gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and
the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level
1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level
2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the
full term of the asset or liability; and
Level
3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported
by little or no market activity).
At
March 31, 2022, the Company has no financial assets or liabilities subject to recurring fair value measurements.
The
Company’s financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, advances to suppliers, other receivables, accounts payable,
other payables, taxes payables and related party receivables or payables. Management estimates that the carrying amounts of financial
instruments approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. The fair value of amounts with related parties is not practicable
to estimate due to the related party nature of the underlying transactions.
(c) Cash and Cash Equivalents
The
Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. All
cash and cash equivalents relate to cash on hand and cash at bank at March 31, 2022 and 2021.
The
Renminbi is not freely convertible into foreign currencies. Under the PRC Foreign Exchange Control Regulations and Administration of
Settlement, Sales and Payment of Foreign Exchange Regulations, the Company is permitted to exchange Renminbi for foreign currencies through
banks that are authorized to conduct foreign exchange business.
F- 7
(d) Accounts Receivable
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivable. The Company
extends credit to its customers in the normal course of business and generally does not require collateral. The Company’s credit
terms are dependent upon the segment, and the customer. The Company assesses the probability of collection from each customer at the
outset of the arrangement based on a number of factors, including the customer’s payment history and its current creditworthiness.
If in management’s judgment collection is not probable, the Company does not record revenue until the uncertainty is removed.
Management
performs ongoing credit evaluations, and the Company maintains an allowance for potential credit losses based upon its loss history and
its aging analysis. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of credit losses in existing
accounts receivable. Management reviews the allowance for doubtful accounts each reporting period based on a detailed analysis of trade
receivables. In the analysis, management primarily considers the age of the customer’s receivable, and also considers the creditworthiness
of the customer, the economic conditions of the customer’s industry, general economic conditions and trends, and the business relationship
and history with its customers, among other factors. If any of these factors change, the Company may also change its original estimates,
which could impact the level of the Company’s future allowance for doubtful accounts. If judgments regarding the collectability
of receivables were incorrect, adjustments to the allowance may be required, which would reduce profitability.
Accounts
receivable are recognized and carried at the original invoice amount less an allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An estimate for
doubtful accounts receivable is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written off as incurred.
No allowance for doubtful accounts was made for the years ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.
(e) Inventories
Manufacturing
segment inventories consist of raw materials, work in progress and finished goods and are stated at the lower of cost, determined on
a weighted average basis, or net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business
less the estimated cost of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. When inventories are sold, their carrying amount
is charged to expense in the period in which the revenue is recognized. Write-downs for declines in net realizable value or for losses
of inventories are recognized as an expense in the period the impairment or loss occurs. Write-downs for obsolete finished goods for
the year ended March 31, 2022 was approximately $ 0.02 million. No write-downs for obsolete finished goods for the year ended March 31,
2021.
(f) Plant and Equipment
Plant
and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided over the assets’ estimated useful lives,
using the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives of the plant and equipment are as follows:
SCHEDULE OF PLANT AND EQUIPMENT USEFUL LIVES
Production
plant
5 - 10
years
Motor
vehicles
10 - 15
years
Office
equipment
5 - 10
years
The
cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss is
included in the statement of loss and comprehensive loss. The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to the statement of income as
incurred, whereas significant renewals and betterments are capitalized.
F- 8
(g) Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Goodwill
In
previous, the Company early adopted ASU 2017-04. Under the new accounting guidance, the Company should perform its annual, or interim,
goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment
charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should
not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Additionally, an entity should consider income tax effects
from any tax deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable.
In previous financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2020, the Company impaired goodwill of $ 475,003 . The Company reperformed
the test on goodwill for impairment for the time of reissuance of March 31, 2020 consolidated financial statements and it was determined
that recoverable amount of one of the Company’s reporting units was lower than the carrying amount of the goodwill recorded as
of March 31, 2018. The Company has restated the impairment of goodwill as if it was impaired during the year ended March 31, 2018.
Long-lived
assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
amount of assets may not be recoverable. It is reasonably possible that these assets could become impaired as a result of technology
or other industry changes. Determination of recoverability of assets to be held and used is by comparing the carrying amount of an asset
to future net undiscounted cash flows to be generated by the assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to
be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be
disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.
There
was no impairment of long-lived assets as of March 31, 2022 and 2021.
(h) Revenue Recognition
Revenue
is generated through sale of goods and delivery services. Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or
services and is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods
or services. In addition, the standard requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising
from contracts with customers. The amount of revenue that is recorded reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive
in exchange for those goods and services. The Company applies the following five-step model in order to determine this amount:
(i)
identification of the promised goods and services in the contract;
(ii)
determination of whether the promised goods and services are performance obligations, including whether they are distinct in the context
of the contract;
(iii)
measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration;
(iv)
allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and
(v)
recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation.
The
Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled
to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. Once a contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606
at contract inception, the Company reviews the contract to determine which performance obligations the Company must deliver and which
of these performance obligations are distinct. The Company recognizes as revenues the amount of the transaction price that is allocated
to the respective performance obligation when the performance obligation is satisfied or as it is satisfied. Generally, the Company’s
performance obligations are transferred to customers at a point in time, typically upon delivery of the good or service.
F- 9
For
all reporting periods, the Company has not disclosed the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for all product and service revenue
contracts with an original expected length of one year or less, which is an optional exemption that is permitted under the adopted rules
as of March 31, 2022 and 2021.
Cost
of revenues for garment manufacturing segment includes the direct raw material cost, direct labor cost, manufacturing overheads including
depreciation of production equipment and rent. Cost of revenue for logistics services segment includes gasoline and diesel fuel, toll
charges and subcontracting fees. Cost of revenue of property management and subleasing business was mainly the amortization of right-of-used
assets for the subleasing business. Cost of revenue for epidemic prevention supplies business includes cost of merchandise and cost of
direct raw materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overheads of our own products.
(i) Earnings Per Share
The
Company reports earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260 “Earnings Per Share”, which requires presentation of
basic and diluted earnings per share in conjunction with the disclosure of the methodology used in computing such earnings per share.
Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average
common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share takes into account the potential dilution that could
occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised and converted into common stock. Further, if the number of
common shares outstanding increases as a result of a stock dividend or stock split or decreases as a result of a reverse stock split,
the computations of a basic and diluted earnings per share shall be adjusted retroactively for all periods presented to reflect that
change in capital structure.
The
Company had no potentially dilutive ordinary shares as of March 31, 2022 and 2021.
(j) Income Taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method prescribed by ASC 740 “Income Taxes”. 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 years in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company
records a valuation allowance to offset 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 as income or loss in the period that includes the enactment date.
The
Company has a history of tax losses and there is no convincing evidence that sufficient taxable income will be available against which
the deferred tax asset can be utilized, therefore, the Company does not recognize any tax benefits for the year ended March 31, 2022
and 2021.
The
Company’s Chinese subsidiaries are governed by the Income Tax Laws of the PRC. The PRC federal statutory tax rate is 25 %. The Company
files income tax returns with the relevant government authorities in the PRC. The Company does not believe there will be any material
changes in its unrecognized tax positions over the next 12 months.
The
Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense.
The Company does not have any accrued interest or penalties associated with any unrecognized tax benefits, nor was any interest expense
recognized during the years ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. The Company’s effective tax rate differs from the PRC federal statutory
rate primarily due to non-deductible expenses, temporary differences and preferential tax treatments.
F- 10
The
U.S. federal tax legislation, commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “U.S. Tax Reform”), was signed into
law on December 22, 2017. The U.S. Tax Reform modified the U.S. Internal Revenue Code by, among other things, reducing the statutory
U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21 % for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017 ; limiting and/or eliminating
many business deductions; migrating the U.S. to a territorial tax system with a one-time transaction tax on a mandatory deemed repatriation
of previously deferred foreign earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries; subject to certain limitations, generally eliminating U.S. corporate
income tax on dividends from foreign subsidiaries; and providing for new taxes on certain foreign earnings. Taxpayers may elect to pay
the one-time transition tax over eight years, or in a single lump-sum payment. The Company measured the current and deferred taxes based
on the provisions of the Tax legislation. After the Company’s measurement, no deferred tax benefit nor expense was recorded relating
to the Tax Act changes for the years ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.
(k) Leases
Lessee
The
Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”)
assets, other current liabilities, and operating lease liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets.
ROU
assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease
payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present
value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of the leases do not provide an implicit rate, The Company generally use the incremental
borrowing rate based on the estimated rate of interest for collateralized borrowing over a similar term of the lease payments at commencement
date. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Lease expense for lease payments
is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Lessor
As
a lessor, the Company’s leases are classified as operating leases under ASC 842. Leases, in which the Company is the lessor, are
substantially all accounted for as operating leases and the lease components and non-lease components are accounted for separately. Rental
income from operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Initial direct costs incurred
in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognized on a straight-line
basis over the lease term.
(l) Recently issued and adopted accounting pronouncements
In
June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on
Financial Instruments. This standard requires a financial asset (or group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be
presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the
amortized cost basis of the financial asset(s) to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected on the financial
asset. This standard will be effective for the Company on April 1, 2023. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption
of this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.
The
Company reviews new accounting standards as issued. Management has not identified any other new standards that it believes will have
a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

4. DISPOSITION OF SUBSIDIARIES
The
Company sold its subsidiary DT, a manufacturing company in garment manufacturing segment on October 1, 2020 to a third party and sold
HPF, a subsidiary in logistics services segment in November 2020 to another third party. After disposition, the two subsidiaries became
third parties to the Company. The Company will not have any businesses with the two subsidiaries nor the buyers. The business operations,
customers and suppliers of DT and HPF were retained by the Company; therefore, the disposition of the two subsidiaries did not qualify
as discontinued operations.

Economic
and Political Risks
The
Company’s operations are conducted in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations
may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environment in the PRC, and by the general state of the PRC economy.
The
Company’s operations in the PRC are subject to special considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies
in North America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environment
and foreign currency exchange. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in the political and social conditions
in the PRC, and by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion,
remittances abroad, and rates and methods of taxation.

interest income generated by cash invested in cash deposits and liquid investments. As of March 31, 2022, the total outstanding borrowings
amounted to $ 152,090 (RMB 958,079 ) with various interest rate from 4.84 % to 6.96 % p.a. (Note 10)

The
Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) outbreak and the measures taken to contain the spread of the pandemic have created a high level of uncertainty
to global economic prospects and this has impacted the Company’s operations and its financial performance of the financial year
and subsequent to the financial year end.
As
the situation continues to evolve with significant level of uncertainty, the Company is unable to reasonably estimate the full financial
impact of the COVID-19 outbreak. The Company is monitoring the situation closely and to mitigate the financial impact, it is conscientiously
managing its cost by adopting an operating cost reduction strategy and conserving liquidity by working with major creditors to align
repayment obligations with receivable collections.

Disclosure
Controls and Procedures
We
maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
“Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file
or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities
and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information 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.
We
carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2022 Based on the evaluation
of these disclosure controls and procedures, and in light of the material weaknesses found in our internal controls over financial reporting,
our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
Management’s
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management
is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f)).
The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability
of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent
or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls
may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the
Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 31,
2022 using the criteria established in “Internal Control - Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations
of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”).
A
material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a
reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented
or detected on a timely basis. In its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2022
the Company determined that there were control deficiencies that constituted material weaknesses, as described below.
We
did not maintain a sufficient complement of personnel with an appropriate level of knowledge of accounting, experience, and training
commensurate with its financial reporting requirements.
53
Accordingly,
the Company concluded that these control deficiencies resulted in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual
or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by the company’s internal controls.
As
a result of the material weaknesses described above, management has concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control
over financial reporting as of March 31, 2022 based on criteria established in Internal Control- Integrated Framework issued by COSO.
Changes
in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
There
was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting period covered by this report that has materially affected,
or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations
on the Effectiveness of Controls
Our
disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving
their objectives as specified above. Management does not expect, however, that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal
control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and fraud. Any control system, no matter how well designed and operated,
is based upon certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that its objectives will be met. Further,
no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control
issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.

board of directors has established standing committees in connection with the discharge of its responsibilities. These committees include

Audit

year;
●
Meet
separately, periodically, with management, with the Company’s internal auditors (or other personnel responsible for the internal
audit function) and with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm;
●
Be

Board
Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight
Mr.
Hong Zhida holds the positions of chief executive officer and chairman of the board of the Company. The board believes that Mr. Hong
Zhida’s services as both chief executive officer and chairman of the board is in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders.
Mr. Hong Zhida possesses detailed and in-depth knowledge of the issues, opportunities and challenges facing the Company in its business
and is thus best positioned to develop agendas that ensure that the Board’s time and attention are focused on the most critical
matters relating to the business of the Company. His combined role enables decisive leadership, ensures clear accountability, and enhances
the Company’s ability to communicate its message and strategy clearly and consistently to the Company’s shareholders, employees
and customers.
The
board has not designated a lead director. Given the limited number of directors comprising the Board, the independent directors call
and plan their executive sessions collaboratively and, between meetings of the Board, communicate with management and one another directly.
Under these circumstances, the directors believe designating a lead director to take on responsibility for functions in which they all
currently participate might detract from rather than enhance performance of their responsibilities as directors.
Management
is responsible for assessing and managing risk, subject to oversight by the board of directors. The board oversees our risk management
policies and risk appetite, including operational risks and risks relating to our business strategy and transactions. Various committees
of the board assist the board in this oversight responsibility in their respective areas of expertise.
Code
of Ethics
In
September 2018, we adopted a Code of Ethical Business Conduct that applies to, among other persons, members of our board of directors,
our Company’s officers including our Chief Executive Officer, employees, consultants and advisors. As adopted, our Code of Business
Conduct and Ethics sets forth written standards that are designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote:
1.
honest
and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional
relationships;
2.
full,
fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that we file with, or submit to, the SEC and in other
public communications made by us;
3.
compliance
with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations;
4.
the
prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code of Ethical Business Conduct to an appropriate person or persons identified in
the Code of Ethical Business Conduct; and
5.
accountability
for adherence to the Code of Ethical Business Conduct.
Our
Code of Code of Ethical Business Conduct requires, among other things, that all of our company’s senior officers commit to timely,
accurate and consistent disclosure of information; that they maintain confidential information; and that they act with honesty and integrity.
59
In
addition, our Code of Ethical Business Conduct emphasizes that all employees, and particularly senior officers, have a responsibility
for maintaining financial integrity within our company, consistent with generally accepted accounting principles, and federal and state
securities laws. Any senior officer, who becomes aware of any incidents involving financial or accounting manipulation or other irregularities,
whether by witnessing the incident or being told of it, must report it to our Company. Any failure to report such inappropriate or irregular
conduct of others is to be treated as a severe disciplinary matter. It is against our Company policy to retaliate against any individual
who reports in good faith the violation or potential violation of our company’s Code of Ethical Business Conduct by another.
Family
Relationships
Mr.
Hong Zhida, an executive officer of the Company, and Mr. Hong Zhiwang, a director of the Company, are brothers. Apart from this, there
are no family relationships between any director or executive officer of the Company.

12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters
The
following table sets forth, as of June 23, 2022, certain information concerning the beneficial ownership of our common stock by
(i) each stockholder known by us to own beneficially five percent or more of our outstanding common stock or series a common stock; (ii)
each director; (iii) each named executive officer; and (iv) all of our executive officers and directors as a group, and their percentage
ownership and voting power. The column entitled “Percentage Ownership of Shares of Common Stock” is based
on a total of 26,693,004 shares of our issued and outstanding common stock.
The
information presented below regarding beneficial ownership of our voting securities has been presented in accordance with the rules of
the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not necessarily indicative of ownership for any other purpose. Under these rules, a person
is deemed to be a “beneficial owner” of a security if that person has or shares the power to vote or direct the voting of
the security or the power to dispose or direct the disposition of the security. A person is deemed to own beneficially any security as
to which such person has the right to acquire sole or shared voting or investment power within sixty (60) days through the conversion
or exercise of any convertible security, warrant, option, or other right. More than one (1) person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner
of the same securities. The percentage of beneficial ownership by any person as of a particular date is calculated by dividing the number
of shares beneficially owned by such person, which includes the number of shares as to which such person has the right to acquire voting
or investment power within sixty (60) days, by the sum of the number of shares outstanding as of such date. Consequently, the denominator
used for calculating such percentage may be different for each beneficial owner. Except as otherwise indicated below and under applicable
community property laws, we believe that the beneficial owners of our common stock listed below have sole voting and investment power
with respect to the shares shown.
