NOTES
TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR
THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2021 AND 2020
(Unaudited)
NOTE
1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
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
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.
On
March 1, 2019, the Company entered into a sale and purchase agreement (the “SP Agreement”) to acquire 100% of the shares
of Jiujiu Group Stock Co., Ltd. (“JJGS”), a company incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Seychelles. The transaction
closed on March 1, 2019. Pursuant to the SP Agreement, the Company issued 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 and
JJHK are holding companies and conduct business through their operating subsidiary, JJSZ, which engages in retail and wholesale distribution
of wine products.
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 shares 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.
On January 6, 2021, FVTI, JJGS, Valley Holding
Limited (“Valley Holdings”) and Angel International Investment Holdings Limited (the “Valley Holdings Seller”)
signed a termination agreement, pursuant to which the parties mutually agreed to terminate the original equity interest transfer agreement
signed on March 16, 2020. On the same date, FVTI, DILHK, Valley Holdings and the Valley Holdings Seller entered into a new equity interest
transfer agreement, pursuant to which DILHK agreed to purchase 70% of Valley Holdings’ equity interest (the “Valley Holdings
Equity Transfer”) from the Valley Holdings seller in consideration of FVTI’s common shares with value equivalents to $15
million. As of the date of this filing, the closing of the Valley Holdings Equity Transfer has not occurred.
On February 28, 2021, FVTI, QHDX and the original
shareholders of Foshan BaiTaFeng Beverage Development Co., Ltd. (“BTF”) signed a termination agreement, pursuant to which
the parties mutually agreed to terminate the original equity interest transfer agreement signed on December 31, 2019 (“BTF Agreement”).
The BTF Agreement was terminated effective February 28, 2021 and the parties have no further rights or obligations under the BTF Agreement.
The parties further agreed to waive their rights to any claims that may arise under the BTF Agreement. As of the date of the termination
agreement, no equity interest of BTF had been transferred to QHDX.
Basis
of presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, have been prepared pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) that permit reduced disclosure for interim periods.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring entries considered necessary for a fair presentation
have been included. The results of operations for these periods are not necessarily comparable to, or indicative of, results
of any other interim period or for the fiscal year taken as a whole. The condensed consolidated balance sheet information as of
December 31, 2020 was derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s
Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the SEC on April 26, 2021 (the “report”).
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the report.
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. Although the Company has generated a negative operating cash
flow of $508,778 during the three months ended March 31, 2021, it has reported a net income of $335,574. In addition, as of March
31, 2021, the Company had a working capital of $2,437,539. The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm expressed
in its report on the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 a substantial doubt about the Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern. Based on the Company’s effort in improving its operation and the significant working
capital raised as of March 31, 2021, the management believes that the substantial doubt has been alleviated.
7
Basis
of consolidation
The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions
have been eliminated. The results of subsidiaries acquired during the respective periods are included in the consolidated statements
of operations from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate. The portion of the income
or loss applicable to noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries is reflected in the consolidated statements of operations.
As of March 31, 2021, details of the Company’s

Use
of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure
of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Significant accounting estimates include certain assumptions related to going concern, allowance of doubtful accounts, allowance
of deferred tax asset, useful lives and impairment of long-lived assets, and impairment of goodwill. Actual results may differ from
these estimates.
Reclassification
Certain
prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on net
earnings and financial position.
Foreign
currency translation and re-measurement
The
Company translates its foreign operations to the U.S. dollar in accordance with ASC 830, “ Foreign Currency Matters ”.
The
reporting currency for the Company and its subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar. The Company, DIGLS, DILHK, JJGS and JJHK’s functional
currency is the U.S. dollar; QHDX, JJSZ and their subsidiaries which are incorporated in the 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
●

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 three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase
price over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired in a business combination. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 350, “Intangibles-Goodwill
and Others”, goodwill is subject to at least an annual assessment for impairment or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances
indicate that an impairment may exist, applying a fair-value based test. Fair value is generally determined using a discounted cash flow
analysis. The Company would recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its
fair value up to the amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.
During the three months ended March 31, 2021,
the Company did not record any impairment of goodwill.

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

The Company is continuing to look for different financing opportunities in order to increase sufficient working capital and improve liquidity.
The accompanying financial statements have
been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments
in the normal course of business. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company incurred a net income of $335,574
and used cash in operations of $508,778 and at March 31, 2021, the Company had a working capital of $2,437,539.
The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm expressed in its report on the Company’s financial statement
for the year ended December 31, 2020 a substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Based
on the Company’s effort in improving its operation and the significant working capital generated as of March 31, 2021, the
management believes that the substantial doubt has been alleviated.
Despite
the amount of funds that the Company has raised, no assurance can be given that any future financing, if needed, will be available or,
if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing,
if needed, it may contain undue restrictions on its operations, in the case of debt financing, or cause substantial dilution for its
shareholders, in the case of equity financing.

As

to provide the information under this item.
Item
4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls 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 March
31, 2021, 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) during the relevant period, the Board did 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 March 31, 2021. 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 March 31, 2021, 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.
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There
have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Report, which
has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
