9A. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation
of Disclosure Control and Procedures
We
conducted 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 the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. The term
“disclosure controls and procedures”, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure
that information required to be disclosed by the company in the reports it files or submits 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. Disclosure controls and procedures also include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated
and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons
performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation,
our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded as of December 31, 2020, that our disclosure controls and procedures
were not effective.
The
matters involving internal controls and procedures that our management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards
of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: (1) lack of well-established procedures to identify, approve and review
related party transactions; (2) Inadequate design of controls related to business combination transactions accounting given the
accounting complexities of business combinations, including, but not limited to, lack of mindset and methods to assess the value
of the business prior to acquisition, inadequate process to determine the purchase price, lack of professional understanding to
determine when the control of the business acquired is transferred or when the transaction is completed, and inability to make
the appropriate disclosure; and (3) the Board does not have a director who qualifies as an audit committee financial expert as
defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K.

Management’s
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control
over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act as a process designed by,
or under the supervision of, the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the board
of directors (the “Board”), management and other personnel, 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 (“GAAP”) and includes those policies and procedures that:
●
Apply
to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of
the assets of the company
●
Provide
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance
with GAAP and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management
and directors of the company; and
●
Provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s
assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. 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. All internal control systems,
no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only
reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of the inherent limitations of
internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control
over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore,
it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.
We
carried out an assessment, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e)
and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act, as of December 31, 2020. Management based the assessment on criteria for effective internal
control over financial reporting described in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations
of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework). Management’s assessment included an evaluation of the design of our internal
control over financial reporting and testing of the operational effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting.
Based on this assessment, management has concluded that as of December 31, 2020, our
internal control over financial reporting was not effective to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial
reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles. In an effort to remediate the identified material weaknesses and other deficiencies and enhance our internal controls,
we have initiated, or plan to initiate, the following series of measures:
●
We
have increased our personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function and intend
to hire one or more additional personnel for the function due to turnover.
●
We
will create a position to segregate duties consistent with control objectives.
●
We
plan to prepare written policies and procedures for operating, accounting and financial reporting to establish a formal process
to close our books monthly on an accrual basis and account for all transactions, including equity and debt transactions.
●
We
plan to test our updated controls and remediate our deficiencies in the year 2021.
This
Annual Report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal
control over financial reporting. The Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered
public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s
report in this Annual Report.
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There
was no change in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2020, which
has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting, except
that we have hired outside consultant to remediate our material weakness in lack of accounting and finance personnel with technical
knowledge in SEC rules and regulations.

12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters
The
following table sets forth certain information, regarding the beneficial ownership of the Company’s common stock as of April
13, 2021 by (i) each shareholder known by the Company to be the beneficial owner of 5% or more of its common stock, (ii)
by each director and executive officer of the Company and (iii) by all executive officers and directors of the Company as a group.
Each of the persons named in the table has sole voting and investment power with respect to common stock beneficially owned.
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.
The
column entitled “Percentage of Shares Beneficially Owned” is based on a total of 313,098,220 shares of our common
stock outstanding as of April 26, 2021.
The
business address of each directors and officers listed below is 13th Floor, Building B1, Wisdom Plaza, Qiaoxiang Road, Nanshan

REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To
the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
Fortune
Valley Treasures, Inc.
Opinion
on the Financial Statements
We
have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Fortune Valley Treasures, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”)
as of December 31, 2020, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity
(deficit), and cash flows for the year then ended, 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 position of the Company as of
December 31, 2020, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going
Concern Matter
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed
in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency
that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters
are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.
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 audit. 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 audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
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 audit 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 audit 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical
Audit Matters
The
critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were
communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material
to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of
critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by
communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or
disclosures to which they relate.
F- 1
Valuation
of Intangible Asset Acquired in Business Combination
Description
of the Matter
As
described in Note 7 to the financial statements, the Company completed the acquisition of 90% equity interest of Dongguan Xixingdao
Technology Co., Ltd. (“Xixingdao”) for consideration of approximately $9.8 million in 2020 which resulted in approximately
$3.1 million intangible asset, consists entirely of distribution channel, and approximately $6.9 million goodwill being recognized.
The fair value of intangible asset acquired was based upon valuation techniques under income approach with the assistance of a
specialist engaged by the Company. Management applied judgment in estimating the fair value of intangible asset acquired, which
involved the use of significant estimates and assumptions with respect to the amount and timing of expected future cash flows
and discount rate.
We
identified the valuation of intangible asset acquired as a critical audit matter due to its materiality to the financial statements
and the significant estimates and assumptions involved by the management in determining the fair value of the intangible asset,
the audit of which required a high degree of auditor judgement.
How
We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit
Our
audit procedures related to the valuation of intangible asset include the following, among others: 1) We obtained and read the
executed purchase agreements; 2) We obtained an understanding of the work of the Company’s specialist and the management’s
process and controls for estimating the fair value of intangible asset; 3) We evaluated the appropriateness of the valuation methods,
4) We tested the completeness and accuracy of data provided by management; 5) We evaluated the reasonableness of significant inputs
and assumptions used; and 6) We evaluated the adequacy of the Company’s disclosures related to the acquisition.
Impairment
of Goodwill
Description
of the Matter
As
described in Note 2 and 7 to the financial statements, the Company performs its annual impairment testing on goodwill for its
reporting units on December 31, of each fiscal year and whenever there are events or changes in circumstances indicate that an
impairment may exist. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recognized an impairment loss of approximately $5.6
million related to Xixingdao. The Company’s evaluation of goodwill for impairment involves the comparison of the fair value
of the reporting unit to its carrying value. The Company used the income approach with the discounted cash flow valuation method
with the assistance of a specialist engaged by the Company to estimate fair value, which requires management to make significant
estimates and assumptions related to forecasted revenues and cash flows and the discount rate.
We
identified the impairment of goodwill analysis for Xixingdao as a critical audit matter due to its materiality to the financial
statements and the significant estimates and assumptions involved, the audit of which required a high degree of auditor judgement.
How
We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit
Our
audit procedures related to the goodwill impairment analysis include the following, among others: 1) We obtained an understanding
of the work of the Company’s specialist and the management’s process and controls for goodwill impairment evaluation;
2) We compared management’s forecasted revenue and cash flows to the actual results of the Company; 3) We evaluated the
appropriateness of the valuation methods, 4) We tested the completeness and accuracy of data provided by management; and 5) We
evaluated the reasonableness of significant inputs and assumptions used.

To:
The

Valley Treasures, Inc.
Opinion
on the Financial Statements
We
have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Fortune Valley Treasures, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2019
and 2018, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows
for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2019, 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 position of the
Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year
period ended December 31, 2019, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Emphasis
of Matter
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed
in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company had incurred substantial losses during the year ended December 31, 2018 and
had a working capital deficit, which raised substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. As of and for
the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company had a working capital deficit and continued to incur substantial losses which continue
to give raise to the substantial doubt that the Company will continue as a going concern. Management’s plans to address
this substantial doubt are set forth in Note 3. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from
the outcome of this uncertainly.
Basis
for Opinion
These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on

PCAOB.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit

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.

NOTE
1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Fortune
Valley Treasures, Inc. (formerly Crypto-Services, Inc.) (“FVTI” or the “Company”) was incorporated in
the State of Nevada on March 21, 2014. The Company’s current primary business operations of wholesale distribution and retail
sales of alcoholic beverages of wine and distilled liquors, and drinking water distribution and delivery are conducted
through its subsidiaries in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”).
On
January 5, 2018, the Company changed its fiscal year end from August 31 to December 31.
On
January 29, 2018, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment with the State of Nevada to increase its authorized shares to 3,000,000,000.
On
April 11, 2018, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement by and among DaXingHuaShang Investment Group Limited
(“DIGLS”) and its shareholders: 1.) Yumin Lin, 2.) Gaosheng Group Co., Ltd. and 3.) China Kaipeng Group Co., Ltd whereby
the Company newly issued 300,000,000 shares of its common stock in exchange for all the outstanding shares in DIGLS. This transaction
has been accounted for as a reverse takeover transaction and a recapitalization of the Company whereby the Company, the
legal acquirer, is the accounting acquiree, and DIGLS, the legal acquiree, is the accounting acquirer; accordingly, the Company’s
historical statement of stockholders’ equity has been retroactively restated to the first period presented.
DIGLS
was incorporated with limited liability in the Republic of Seychelles on July 4, 2016, with share capital of $100,000 divided
into 250,000,000 ordinary shares with $0.0004 par value. DIGLS wholly owns DaXingHuaShang Investment (Hong Kong) Limited (“DILHK”).
DILHK was incorporated in Hong Kong on June 22, 2016 as an investment holding company with limited liability. DILHK was previously
wholly owned by Mr. Yumin Lin. On November 11, 2016, Mr. Yumin Lin, transferred 100% of his ownership in DILHK to DIGLS. DILHK
wholly owns Qianhai DaXingHuaShang Investment (Shenzhen) Co. Ltd. (“QHDX”) which was incorporated with limited liability
on November 3, 2016 in the PRC as a wholly foreign-owned enterprise. QHDX wholly owns Dongguan City France Vin Tout Ltd. (“FVTL”).
FTVL was incorporated on May 31, 2011 in the PRC with limited liability. FTVL was previously owned and controlled by Mr. Yumin
Lin. FTVL has a license to sell foods up through September 10, 2022. On November 20, 2016, Mr. Yumin Lin transferred his ownership
in FTVL to QHDX for nominal consideration. The share transfers detailed above by and among Mr. Yumin Lin, DIGLS, DILHK, QHDX,
and FVTL have been accounted for as a series of business combinations of entities under common control; accordingly, the
values in these financial statements reflect the carrying values of those entities, and no goodwill was recorded as a result of
these transactions.
On
March 1, 2019, the Company entered into a sale and purchase agreement (the “SP Agreement”) to acquire 100% of the
equity interest of Jiujiu Group Stock Co., Ltd. (“JJGS”), a company incorporated under the laws of the Republic
of Seychelles. The transaction closed on March 1, 2019. Pursuant to the SP Agreement, the Company issued 100 shares of its common
stock to JJGS to acquire 100% of the shares of JJGS for a cost of $150. After the closing, JJGS became the Company’s wholly
owned subsidiary. JJGS owns all of the equity interest of Jiujiu (HK) Industry Limited (“JJHK”) and Jiujiu (Shenzhen)
Industry Co., Ltd. (“JJSZ”). JJGS, JJHK and JJSZ did not have any material assets or liabilities as of December
31, 2019, and they did not have any substantial operations or active business during the year ended December 31, 2019.
On
July 13, 2019, FVTI and QHDX entered into an equity interest transfer agreement (the “Makaweng Agreement”), which
was later amended on September 12, 2019, with Xingwen Wang, a shareholder and legal representative of Yunnan Makaweng Wine
& Spirits Co., Ltd. (“Makaweng”), a PRC limited liability company formed in 2015. Pursuant to the Makaweng
Agreement, QHDX agreed to purchase 51% of Makaweng’s equity interest from Xingwen Wang in exchange for shares of
FVTI’s common stock. On August 28, 2019, the registration of transferring the 51% of equity interest of Makaweng to
QHDX with local government authorities was completed.
On
December 3, 2020, QHDX and Xingwen Wang, an original shareholder of Makaweng, signed a share transfer agreement (the “Share
Transfer Agreement”) pursuant to which the parties agreed that QHDX would transfer all of the 51% of equity interest of
Makaweng it held to Xingwen Wang. Upon the effectiveness of the Share Transfer Agreement, QHDX no longer owned an equity interest
in Makaweng. As of the date of the Share Transfer Agreement, the Company has not issued any common shares to Xingwen Wang and
the control of Makaweng has never been transferred to QHDX.
On
June 22, 2020, the Company entered into a sale and purchase agreement along with Qianhai DaXingHuaShang Investment (Shenzhen)
Co., Ltd., a company incorporated in the PRC and a wholly-owned subsidiary of FVTI (“QHDX”), to acquire 90%
of the equity interest of Dongguan Xixingdao Technology Co., Ltd. (“Xixingdao”), a company incorporated in
the PRC, in exchange for 4,862,681 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company obtained the control of Xixingdao
on August 31, 2020, the shares were issued on December 28, 2020. Xixingdao became the Company’s subsidiary since
August 31, 2020.

Use
of estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
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 financial statements. The estimates and judgments will also affect the
reported amounts for certain revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Certain significant accounting policies that
contain subjective management estimates and assumptions include those related to going concern, allowance of doubtful accounts,
allowance of deferred tax asset, useful lives and impairment of long-lived assets, valuation of intangible assets acquired and
impairment of goodwill. Actual results may materially differ from these estimates.
Reclassification
Certain
prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no impact
on net earnings and financial position.
Foreign
currency translation and re-measurement
The
Company translates its foreign operations to the U.S. dollar in accordance with ASC 830, “ Foreign Currency Matters ”.
The
reporting currency for the Company and its subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar. The Company, DIGLS, DILHK, JJGS and JJHK’s functional
currency is the U.S. dollar; QHDX, JJSZ and their subsidiaries which are incorporated in PRC use the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”)
as their functional currency.
The
Company’s subsidiaries, whose records are not maintained in that company’s functional currency, re-measure their records
into their functional currency as follows:
●
Monetary
assets and liabilities at exchange rates in effect at the end of each period
●
Nonmonetary
assets and liabilities at historical rates
●
Revenue
and expense items at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the period
Gains
and losses from these re-measurements were not significant and have been included in the Company’s results of operations.
The
Company’s subsidiaries, whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, translate their records into the U.S. dollar as
follows:
●
Assets
and liabilities at the rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date
●
Equities
at the historical rate
●
Revenue
and expense items at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the period

No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into US dollars at the rates used
in translation.
Cash
and cash equivalents
Cash
and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, demand deposits placed with banks or other financial institutions and have original
maturities of less than three months. The Company’s primary bank deposits are located in the Hong Kong and the PRC.
Accounts
receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts
Accounts
receivable are stated at the customer obligations due under normal trade terms net of allowance for doubtful accounts.
The
Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts which reflects its best estimate of amounts that potentially will not be
collected. The Company determines the allowance for doubtful accounts taking into consideration various factors including but
not limited to historical collection experience and credit-worthiness of the customers as well as the age of the individual
receivables balance. Additionally, the Company makes specific bad debt provisions based on any specific knowledge the Company
has acquired that might indicate that an account is uncollectible. The facts and circumstances of each account may require the
Company to use substantial judgment in assessing its collectability.
Inventories
Inventories
consisting of finished goods are stated at the lower of cost or market value. The Company used the weighted average cost method
of accounting for inventory. Inventories on hand are evaluated on an on-going basis to determine if any items are obsolete, spoiled,
or in excess of future demand. The Company provides impairment that is charged directly to cost of sales when is has been determined
the product is obsolete, spoiled, and the Company will not be able to sell it at a normal profit above its carrying cost. The
Company’s primary products are alcoholic beverages and water. The selling price of alcoholic beverages tend to increase
over time, however, there are circumstances where alcoholic beverages may be subject to spoilage if stored for prolong
periods of time.
F- 10
Property
and equipment
Property
and equipment is
carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line
method. Estimated useful lives of the property and equipment are as follows:
Office
equipment
3-20
years
Leasehold
improvements
3
years
The
cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to expenses as incurred, whereas significant renewals and betterments are capitalized.
Intangible
asset, net
Intangible
assets with definite lives are stated at cost less
accumulated amortization and consist mainly of distribution channel that was acquired in the acquisition of Xixingdao.
Amortization
is calculated on the straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives:
Categories
Estimated
useful life
Distribution
channel
4
years
Operating
leases
The
Company recognizes its leases in accordance with ASC 842 - Leases. Under ASC 842, operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”)
assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. ROU
assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make
lease payments arising from the lease. The initial lease liability is equal to the future fixed minimum lease payments discounted
using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate, on a secured basis. The lease term includes option renewal periods and early
termination payments when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise those rights. The initial measurement of the
ROU asset is equal to the initial lease liability plus any initial direct costs and prepayments, less any lease incentives. The
Company elected the short-term lease exemption for contracts with lease terms of 12 months or less. The Company accounts for the
lease and non-lease components of its leases as a single lease component. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis
over the lease term.
Impairment
of long-lived assets other than goodwill
The
Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount
of assets may not be recoverable. Impairment may be the result of becoming obsolete from a change in the industry or new technologies.
Impairment is present if the carrying amount of an asset is less than its undiscounted cash flows to be generated.
If
an asset is considered impaired, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market
value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.
The
Company did not recognize any impairment of long-lived assets during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.
Goodwill
Goodwill
represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired in a business
combination. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 350, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Others”, goodwill is subject to at
least an annual assessment for impairment or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that an
impairment may exist, applying a fair-value based test. Fair value is generally determined using a discounted cash flow
analysis.
In
January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying
the Test for Goodwill Impairment (ASU 2017-04), which eliminates step two from the goodwill impairment test. Under ASU 2017-04,
an entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair
value up to the amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. ASU 2017-04 is effective for annual and interim reporting
periods beginning after December 15, 2022 for smaller reporting companies. The Company has early adopted ASU 2017-04 on January
1, 2020.
During
the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company has recorded impairment of goodwill in the amount of $5,594,692.
F- 11
Revenue
recognition
The
Company follows the guidance of ASC 606, revenue from contracts with customers is recognized using the following five steps:
1.
Identify
the contract(s) with a customer;
2.
Identify
the performance obligations in the contract;
3.
Determine
the transaction price;
4.
Allocate
the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and
5.
Recognize
revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.
Under
Topic 606, revenues are recognized when the promised products have been confirmed of delivery or services have been transferred
to the consumers in amounts that reflect the consideration the customer expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services.
The Company presents value added taxes (“VAT”) as reductions of revenues. The Company recognizes revenues net of value
added taxes (“VAT”) and relevant charges.
We
generate revenue primarily from the sales of wine, water and oil directly to agents, wholesalers and end users. We recognize product
revenue at a point in time when the control of the products has been transferred to customers. The transfer of control is considered
complete when products have been picked up by or delivered to our customers. We account for shipping and handling fees
as a fulfillment cost.

Contract
liabilities
Contract
liabilities consist mainly of customer advances. On certain occasions, the Company may receive prepayments from downstream retailers
or wholesales customers for wines, water and other products prior to them taking possession of the Company’s products. The
Company records these receipts as customer advances until the control of the products has been transferred the customers. As of
December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had customer advances of $580,151 and $Nil, respectively.
F- 12
Sales
and distribution expenses
Sales
and distribution expenses amounted to $23,191 and $Nil for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Selling and distribution costs are expensed as incurred and included in selling expenses.
General
and administrative expenses
General
and administrative expenses consist primarily of salary and welfare for general and administrative personnel, rental expenses,
entertainment expenses, general office expenses and professional service fees.
Value-added
taxes
Revenue
is recognized net of value-added taxes (“VAT”). The VAT is based on gross sales price and VAT rates applicable to
the Company is 17% for the period from the beginning of 2018 till the end of April 2018, then changed to 16% from May 2018 to
the end of March 2019, and changed to 13% from April 2019. Entities that are VAT general taxpayers are allowed to offset qualified
input VAT paid to suppliers against their output VAT liabilities. Net VAT balance between input VAT and output VAT is recorded
as VAT payable if output VAT is larger than input VAT and is recorded as VAT recoverable if input VAT is larger than output VAT.
For entities that are VAT small taxpayers, VAT rate applicable is 3% for the period from the beginning of 2018, then during
the COVID-19, the small taxpayers are allowed to enjoy the preferred tax policy, tax rate from 3% to 1% for the period
from March 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020. All of the VAT returns filed by the Company’s subsidiaries in the PRC, have
been and remain subject to examination by the PRC tax authorities for five years from the date of filing. VAT payables are
included in accrued liabilities.
Income
taxes
The
Company followed the liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes, or ASC 740. Under
this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial reporting and tax
bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be in effect in the period in which the differences are expected
to reverse. The Company recorded 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 rate is recognized in tax expense in the period that includes the enactment date of the change in tax
rate.
The
Company accounted for uncertainties in income taxes in accordance with ASC 740. Interest and penalties related to unrecognizable
tax benefit recognized in accordance with ASC 740 are classified in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss as income
tax expense.
F- 13
Statutory
reserves
Statutory
reserves are referring to the amount appropriated from the net income in accordance with laws or regulations, which can be used
to recover losses and increase capital, as approved, and are to be used to expand production or operations. PRC laws prescribe
that an enterprise operating at a profit must appropriate and reserve, on an annual basis, an amount equal to 10% of its profit.
Such an appropriation is necessary until the reserve reaches a maximum that is equal to 50% of the enterprise’s PRC registered
capital. As of December 31, 2020, the Company’s WFOE and its subsidiaries did not make the provision for the
statutory reserves.
Earnings
per share
The
Company computes earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per share”. Basic
EPS is measured as the income or loss available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding
for the period. Diluted EPS is similar to basic EPS but presents the dilutive effect on a per share basis of potential common
shares (e.g., convertible securities, options, and warrants) as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented,
or issuance date, if later. Potential common shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e. those that increase income per share
or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS.
Financial
instruments
The
Company accounts for financial instruments in accordance to ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,”
which requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company and ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments,”
which defines fair value, and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances
disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for financial
assets and liabilities, which primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, inventories, prepayments and
other current assets, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, income tax payable, customer advances, are a reasonable estimate
of their fair values because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization
and their current market rate of interest. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:
●
Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
●
Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs
that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial
instrument.
●
Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
Commitments
and contingencies
Liabilities
for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines and penalties and other sources are recorded when it
is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment can be reasonably estimated.
F- 14
Comprehensive
income
Comprehensive
income is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners.
Among other disclosures, all items that are required to be recognized under current accounting standards as components of comprehensive
income are required to be reported in a financial statement that is presented with the same prominence as other financial statements.
The Company’s current component of other comprehensive income includes the foreign currency translation adjustment.
Segment
reporting
The
Company reports each material operating segment in accordance with ASC 280, “Segment Reporting”. Operating segments
are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly
by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s
chief operating decision maker is the chief executive officer. The Company has determined that it has only one operating segment.
Significant
risk
Currency
risk
A
majority of the Company’s expense transactions are denominated in RMB and a significant portion of the Company and its subsidiaries’
assets and liabilities are denominated in RMB. RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currencies. In the PRC, certain foreign
exchange transactions are required by law to be transacted only by authorized financial institutions at exchange rates set by
the People’s Bank of China (“PBOC”). Remittances in currencies other than RMB by the Company in the PRC
must be processed through the PBOC or other Company foreign exchange regulatory bodies which require certain supporting documentation
in order to affect the remittance.
The
Company maintains certain bank accounts in the PRC. On May 1, 2015, the PRC’s new Deposit Insurance Regulation came
into effect, pursuant to which banking financial institutions, such as commercial banks, established in the PRC are required to
purchase deposit insurance for deposits in RMB and in foreign currency placed with them. Such Deposit Insurance Regulation would
not be effective in providing complete protection for the Company’s accounts, as its aggregate deposits are much higher
than the compensation limit, which is RMB500,000 for one bank. However, the Company believes that the risk of failure of any
of these Chinese banks is remote. Bank failure is uncommon in the PRC and the Company believes that those Chinese banks that hold
the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments are financially sound based on public available information.
Other
than the deposit insurance mechanism in the PRC mentioned above, the Company’s bank accounts are not insured by Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance or other insurance.
Concentration
and credit risk
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to the concentration of credit risks consist of cash and short-term investments.
The maximum exposures of such assets to credit risk are their carrying amounts as of the balance sheet dates. The Company deposits
its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions located in jurisdictions where the subsidiaries are located.
The Company believes that no significant credit risk exists as these financial institutions have high credit quality.
The
Company’s also exposure to credit risk associated with its trading and other activities is measured on an individual counterparty
basis, as well as by group of counterparties that share similar attributes. Concentrations of credit risk can be affected by changes
in political, industry, or economic factors. To reduce the potential for risk concentration, the Company generally requires
payment after delivery of the goods within 60 to 90 days. Credit limits are established and exposure is monitored
in light of changing counterparty and market conditions. During the year ended December
31, 2019, the Company had a concentration of risk in its demand for goods, as a single customer, whom is also a related party
accounted for $220,203 of the Company’s sales. There was no revenue from customers which individually represented greater
than 10% of the total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Related
party transaction
A
related party is generally defined as (i) any person that holds 10% or more of the Company’s securities and their immediate
families, (ii) the Company’s management, (iii) someone that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under
common control with the Company, or (iv) anyone who can significantly influence the financial and operating decisions of the Company.

Transactions
involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm’s-length basis, as the requisite conditions of

unless such representations can be substantiated.
Business
combination
The
purchase price of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration transferred. The purchase
price is allocated to the fair values of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with any excess
recorded as goodwill. These fair value determinations require judgment and may involve the use of significant estimates and assumptions.
The purchase price allocation may be provisional during a measurement period of up to one year to provide reasonable time to obtain
the information necessary to identify and measure the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Any such measurement period adjustments
are recognized in the period in which the adjustment amount is determined. Transaction costs associated with the acquisition are
expensed as incurred.

Recent
accounting pronouncements
In
June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial
Instruments. ASU 2016-13 requires an entity to utilize a new impairment model known as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”)
model to estimate its lifetime “expected credit loss” and record an allowance that, when deducted from the amortized
cost basis of the financial asset, presents the net amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. The CECL model is
expected to result in more timely recognition of credit losses. ASU 2016-13 also requires new disclosures for financial assets
measured at amortized cost, loans and available-for-sale debt securities. ASU 2016-13 will be effective for smaller reporting
companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities
will apply the standard’s provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first
reporting period in which the guidance is adopted. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-13
on its consolidated financial statements and does not expect the adoption to have a material impact.
In
August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure
Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The amendments in this standard has removed,
modified and added certain disclosures under ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, with
the objective of improving disclosure effectiveness. On January 1, 2020, the Company
adopted ASU 2018-13 on a prospective basis. The adoption did not have a material impact
on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In
December 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740) Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The
ASU removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and improves consistent application of and simplifies GAAP
for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. ASU 2019-12 is effective for public entities for annual
reporting periods and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2020, and early adoption is permitted. The
Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2019-12 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial
statements.
NOTE
3 - GOING CONCERN
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP which contemplates continuation of the Company
as a going-concern basis. The going-concern basis assumes that assets are realized, and liabilities are settled in the ordinary
course of business at amounts disclosed in the financial statements. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern
depends upon its ability to market and sell its products to generate positive operating cash flows. Although positive operating
cash flow has been generated in the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company had recurring negative operating cash flows historically.
In addition, for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company reported recurring net losses of $3,647,353
and $377,756, respectively. These conditions continue to raise substantial doubt as to whether the Company may continue as
a going concern as of the date of this report.
In
an effort to improve its financial position, the Company is working to obtain new working capital through improving its operation
and obtaining loans from banks or other financial institutes. The Company also relies on relates parties to provided financing
and management services at cost that may not be the prevailing market rate for such services. However, management cannot provide
any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans. The accompanying financial statements do
not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

7 – BUSINESS COMBINATION AND GOODWILL
On
August 31, 2020, FVTI completed the acquisition of 90% equity interest of Xixingdao. The Company aimed to enter the
service of drinking water distribution and delivery market in Dongguan City, Guangdong Province through this acquisition.
The
purchase consideration is $9,773,989, consists of 4,862,681 shares of the Company’s common stock issued to Xixingdao’s
original owner fair valued at the acquisition date. These shares were issued on December 28, 2020. The Company accounted for
the acquisition using the purchase method of accounting for business combination under ASC 805. The total purchase price was allocated
to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition
date.
The
determination of fair values involves the use of significant judgment and estimates and in the case of Xixingdao, this
is with specific reference to acquired intangible asset. The judgments used to determine the estimated fair value assigned to
assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as the intangible asset life and the expected future cash flows and related discount
rate, can materially impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Significant inputs and assumptions used for
the model included the amount and timing of expected future cash flows and discount rate. The Company utilized the
assistance of a third-party valuation appraiser to determine the fair value as of the date of acquisition.
The purchase
price was allocated on the acquisition date of Xixingdao as follows:

The

financial statements since the date of acquisition. Goodwill arising from this business combination is not tax deductible.
The
following unaudited pro forma information presents the combined results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2020
and 2019 as if the acquisition of Xixingdao had occurred as of January 1, 2020 and May 31, 2019, the inception date of
Xixingdao. These unaudited pro forma results are presented for informational purpose only and are not necessarily indicative
of what the actual results of operations of the combined company would have been if the Company consummated the acquisition

The
Company’s policy is to perform its annual impairment testing on goodwill for its reporting unit on December 31, of each
fiscal year or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that an impairment may exist. The Company’s
evaluation of goodwill for impairment involves the comparison of the fair value of Xixingdao to its carrying value. The Company
used the income approach with the discounted cash flow valuation method with the assistance of a third-party valuation appraiser
to estimate fair value, which requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions related to forecasted revenues
and cash flows and the discount rate. The impairment loss on goodwill of $5,594,692, was recognized during the year ended December
31, 2020. As of December 31, 2020, the balance of goodwill is $1,368,915.
