9A. Controls and Procedures.
Conclusions Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, 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 the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company’s management, with the participation of its chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this annual report. Based on this evaluation, its principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this annual report.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is 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 generally accepted accounting principles. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (3) 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. 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.
Management, with the participation of
its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over
financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation under these criteria, management concluded that its internal control
over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2022. This Annual Report on Form
10-K does not include an attestation report of internal controls from our independent registered public accounting firm due to our status
as nonaccelerated filer.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
On December 9, 2022, we consummated the Business Combination. See Note 1—“Nature of business and organization” and Note 3—“Reverse Capitalization” to the consolidated financial statements. We are currently integrating policies, processes, people, technology and operations for the combined company. Management will continue to evaluate our internal control over financial reporting as we execute integration activities.
Other than as noted above,
there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d)
and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2022 that has materially affected, or is reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, believes that our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and are effective at the reasonable assurance level. However, our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by the collusion of two or more people or by management override of controls. The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING
FIRM
To the shareholders and the board of directors of MicroAlgo Inc. and
subsidiaries (formerly known as Venus Acquisition Corporation)
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated
balance sheets of MicroAlgo Inc. and subsidiaries (formerly known as Venus Acquisition Corporation (the “Company”) as of December
31, 2022 and 2021, the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows,
for each of the two years in the period ended December 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 consolidated financial positions
of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two
years in the period ended December 31, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
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 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.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Amounts expressed in US dollars (“$”) except for numbers of shares and par value)
Note 1 — Nature of business and organization
MicroAlgo Inc. (“MicroAlgo” or the “Company”) (f/k/a Venus Acquisition Corporation (“Venus”)), a Cayman Islands exempted company, entered into the Business Combination and Merger Agreement dated June 10, 2021 (as amended on January 24, 2022, August 2, 2022, August 3, 2022 and August 10, 2022, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among WiMi Hologram Cloud Inc. (“WiMi” or the “Majority Shareholder”), Venus, Venus Merger Sub Corporation (“Venus Merger Sub”), a Cayman Islands exempted company incorporated for the purpose of effectuating the Business Combination, and VIYI Algorithm Inc. (“VIYI”), a Cayman Islands exempted company.
On December 9, 2022, in accordance with the Merger Agreement, the closing of the business combination (the “Closing”) occurred, pursuant to which Venus issued 39,603,961 ordinary shares to VIYI shareholders. As a result of the consummation of the business combination, VIYI is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, which has changed its name to MicroAlgo Inc.
The business combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Under this method of accounting, Venus will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. This determination was primarily based on the holders of VIYI expecting to have a majority of the voting power of the post-combination company, VIYI senior management comprising substantially all of the senior management of the post-combination company, the relative size of VIYI compared to Venus, and VIYI operations comprising the ongoing operations of the post-combination company. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the business combination will be treated as the equivalent of VIYI issuing shares for the net assets of Venus, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Venus will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the business combination will be those of VIYI. (See Note 3 for details)
VIYI Algorithm Inc. (“VIYI”), is a company incorporated on September 24, 2020 under the laws of the Cayman Islands. WiMi Hologram Cloud Inc. (“WiMi Inc.” or the “Parent”) which primarily engaged in augmented reality (“AR”) advertising and entertainment services, is VIYI’s parent company. VIYI, its consolidated subsidiaries, its former variable interest entity (“VIE”) and VIE’s subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Company”) is primarily engaged in providing central processing algorithm services.
In connection with a contemplated merger of MicroAlgo, the following steps were undertaken:
(1)
Reorganization of Shenzhen Yitian:
Shenzhen Yitian Internet Technology Co., Ltd. (“Shenzhen Yitian”) was established on March 8, 2011 and was acquired by the Parent’s VIE, WiMi Cloud Software Co., Ltd. (“Beijing WiMi”) in 2015. Shenzhen Yitian and subsidiaries are in the PRC and mainly engaged in provide algorithm services in advertising and gaming industry.
On December 24, 2020, Beijing WiMi transferred 99.0 % and 1.0 % equity interests in Shenzhen Yitian to Ms. Yao Zhaohua and Ms. Sun Yadong for consideration of RMB 1 and RMB 1, respectively, pursuant to share transfer agreements. Ms. Yao Zhaohua and Ms. Sun Yadong and the original shareholders of Shenzhen Yitian entered into contractual agreement (see contractual agreements below) with Shenzhen Weiyixin on December 24, 2020, which granted Shenzhen Weiyixin effective control of Shenzhen Yitian from December 24, 2020 and enable Shenzhen Weiyixin to receive all the expected residual returns of Shenzhen Yitian and its subsidiaries. The reorganization was completed on December 24, 2020. Shenzhen Weiyixin becomes the primary beneficiary of Shenzhen Yitian and its subsidiaries.
On January 11, 2021, Shenzhen Yitian transferred its 100 % equity interest of Weidong and subsidiaries to Shenzhen Weiyixin; its 100 % equity interest YY Online to Weidong and its 100 % equity interest in Korgas 233 and Wuhan 233 to YY Online. As a result, Wuhan 233 and Korgas 233 became wholly owned subsidiaries of YY Online and YY Online became wholly owned subsidiary of Weidong and Weidong became wholly owned subsidiary of Shenzhen Weiyixin.
F- 7
All of these entities are under common control of shareholders of VIYI, which results in the consolidation of Shenzhen Yitian and its subsidiaries which have been accounted for as a reorganization of entities under common control at carrying value. The consolidated financial statements are prepared on the basis as if the reorganization became effective as of the beginning of the first period presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company.
On July 1, 2021, Weidong acquired 99% interest of Shanghai Guoyu Information Technologies Co., Ltd (“Shanghai Guoyu”). The remaining 1% of Shanghai Guoyu is acquired by YY Online. The aggregate purchase price was $3.0 million (RMB 20,000,000). On July 19, 2021 Shanghai Guoyu established 100% owned subsidiary Kashi Guoyu Information Technologies Co., Ltd (“Kashi Guoyu”). On July 14, 2021, Weidong transferred its 100% equity interest of Horgas 233 and Horgas Weidong to Shanghai Guoyu.
On July 19, 2021, Viwo Technology established a fully owned subsidiary Shenzhen Viwotong Technology Co., Ltd. (“Viwotong Tech”) in Shenzhen to support its operations. On November 19, Viwotong Tech acquired 100% equity interests of Guangzhou Tapuyu Internet Technology Co., Ltd. (“Tapuyu”), a provider of advertising services, for RMB 2 (approximately USD 0.3). On December 7, 2021, Viwotong Tech purchased Pengcheng Keyi (Xi’an) Intelligence Technology Co., Ltd. (“Pengcheng Keyi”), a provider of testing equipment development and sales, for RMB 2 (approximately USD 0.3). On July 1, 2022, Viwo Technology Inc. entered into an equity transfer agreement to transfer 99.0% and 1.0% of the issued share capital of Pengcheng Keyi to two unrelated individuals at RMB 1.0 and RMB 0.1(USD$ 0.01), respectively. (See Note 4 for details)
Due to the business strategy adjustment, Shenzhen Yitian and its subsidiaries no longer operate the business involving foreign investment restrictions since March 1, 2022, therefore VIYI is able to have direct equity interest in Shenzhen Yitian and its subsidiaries. On April 1, 2022, VIYI terminated the agreements under the VIE structure with Shenzhen Yitian. Shenzhen Yitian’s original shareholders transferred their respective ownership to VIYI WFOE and VIYI WFOE obtained 100% equity control of Shenzhen Yitian and its subsidiaries on April 1, 2022. The reorganization has no effect on the consolidated financial statements as Shenzhen Yitian has been under common control of VIYI Cayman that there is no change of reporting entities.
On April 12, 2022, VIYI Technology Limited (“VIYI Ltd”) set up a joint venture company, Vize Technology Limited (“Vize”), in Hong Kong, and VIYI Ltd has a 55% equity interest in Vize. It had no operation as of December 31, 2022.
On August 15, 2022, Vize established a fully owned subsidiary Shenzhen ViZeTong Technology Co., Ltd. (“ViZeTong”) in Shenzhen. ViZeTong had no material operation as of December 31, 2022.

Allocation of expenses
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements include the Company’s direct expenses, as well as an allocation of certain general
and administrative and financial expenses paid by the Parent. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of share-based compensation
expense, salary and related expenses of senior management and VIYI employees, shared management expenses, including accounting, consulting,
legal support services, and other expenses to provide operating support to the related businesses.
These allocations are made using a proportional cost allocation method by considering the proportion of revenues, headcounts as well as estimates of time spent on the provision of services attributable to the Company and the related expenses resulted from the acquisition of subsidiary.
The general and administrative expenses allocated from the Parent amounted to $ 92,759 and nil 0 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022, respectively. Income tax provision reflected in the Company’s consolidated statement of income is calculated based on a separate return basis as the Company’s subsidiaries all filed separate tax returns.
Management believes the basis and amounts of these allocations are reasonable. While the expenses allocated to the Company for these items are not necessarily indicative of the expenses that would have been incurred if the Company had been a separate, stand-alone entity, the Company does not believe that there is any significant difference between the nature and amounts of these allocated expenses and the expenses that would have been incurred if the Company had been a separate, stand-alone entity.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the activities of VIYI and each of the following entities as of December 31, 2022:

Contractual Arrangements (Terminated April 1, 2022)
Due to legal restrictions on foreign ownership and investment in, among other areas, value-added telecommunications services, which include the operations of internet content providers, prior to April 1, 2022, the Company operates its internet and other businesses in which foreign investment is restricted or prohibited in the PRC through certain PRC domestic companies. As such, Shenzhen Yitian (from December 24, 2020) is controlled through contractual agreements in lieu of direct equity ownership by the Company or any of its subsidiaries.
Shenzhen Yitian and its subsidiary used to provide Internet information consulting services which required the possession of the Internet Content Provision (“ICP”) licenses and were subject to foreign investment restrictions under relevant PRC laws and regulations. Due to subsequent business strategy adjustment, Shenzhen Yitian and its subsidiary have terminated such Internet information consulting services since March 1, 2022. As a result of the termination of such services, Shenzhen Yitian and its subsidiary were later notified by relevant PRC government authority that the ICP licenses were no longer required and their business was no longer subject to foreign investment restrictions, therefore VIYI can own direct equity interest in Shenzhen Yitian and its subsidiaries. VIYI terminated the agreements under the VIE structure with Shenzhen Yitian, and VIYI’s WFOE achieved 100% equity control of Shenzhen Yitian and its subsidiaries on April 1, 2022. VIYI now controls and receives the economic benefits of Shenzhen Yitian and its subsidiaries’ business operation through equity ownership.
Shenzhen Yitian
The contractual arrangements consist of a series of four agreements, shareholders power of attorney and irrevocable commitment letters (collectively the “Contractual Arrangements”, which were signed on December 24, 2020). The significant terms of the Contractual Agreements are as follows:
Exclusive Business Cooperation Agreement
Under the exclusive business cooperation agreement between Shenzhen Weiyixin and Shenzhen Yitian dated December 24, 2020, Shenzhen Weiyixin has the exclusive right to provide to Shenzhen Yitian consulting and services related to, among other things, use of software, operation maintenance, product development, and management and marketing consulting. Shenzhen Weiyixin has the exclusive ownership of intellectual property rights created as a result of the performance of this agreement. Shenzhen Yitian agrees to pay Shenzhen Weiyixin service fee at an amount equal to the consolidated net income after offsetting previous year’s loss (if any). This agreement remained effective until April 1, 2022 when the agreement was terminated by Shenzhen Weiyixin.
F- 11
Exclusive Share Purchase Option Agreement
Pursuant to the exclusive share purchase option agreement dated December 24, 2020, by and among Shenzhen Weiyixin, Shenzhen Yitian and each of the shareholders of Shenzhen Yitian, each of the shareholders of Shenzhen Yitian irrevocably granted Shenzhen Weiyixin an exclusive call option to purchase, or have its designated person(s) to purchase, at its discretion, all or part of their equity interests in Shenzhen Yitian, and the purchase price shall be the lowest price permitted by applicable PRC law. Each of the shareholders of Shenzhen Yitian undertakes that, without the prior written consent of Shenzhen Weiyixin or us, they may not increase or decrease the registered capital, amend its articles of association or change registered capital structure. This agreement will remain effective unless terminated in the event that the entire equity interests held by registered shareholders in Shenzhen Yitian have been transferred to Shenzhen Weiyixin or until the date when it is terminated by Shenzhen Weiyixin. Any transfer of shares pursuant to this agreement would be subject to PRC regulations and to any changes required thereunder.
Equity Interest Pledge Agreement
Pursuant to the equity interest pledge agreement dated December 24, 2020, by and among Shenzhen Weiyixin, Shenzhen Yitian and the shareholders of Shenzhen Yitian, the shareholders of Shenzhen Yitian pledged all of their equity interests in Shenzhen Yitian to Shenzhen Weiyixin to guarantee their and Shenzhen Yitian’s obligations under the contractual arrangements including the exclusive consulting and services agreement, the exclusive option agreement, the power of attorney and this equity interest pledge agreement, as well as any loss incurred due to events of default defined therein and all expenses incurred by Shenzhen Weiyixin in enforcing such obligations of Shenzhen Yitian or its shareholders. The shareholders of Shenzhen Yitian agree that, without Shenzhen Weiyixin’s prior written approval, during the term of the equity interest pledge agreement, they will not dispose of the pledged equity interests or create or allow any other encumbrance on the pledged equity interests. The pledge under the equity interest pledge agreement shall take effect upon the completion of registration with the relevant administration for industry and commerce, which was completed as of January 29, 2021, and shall remain valid until the earlier of (1) the completion of all contractual obligations and the repayment of all secured debts, or (2) the time when the pledgee and/or the appointed person(s) have decided, subject to the PRC laws, to purchase the entire equity interests of the pledger in Shenzhen Yitian, and such equity interests of Shenzhen Yitian have been transferred to the pledgee and/or the appointed person(s) in accordance with the law such that the pledgee and/or the appointed person(s) may lawfully engage in the business of Shenzhen Yitian.
Loan Agreement
Pursuant to the loan agreement dated December 24, 2020, Shenzhen Weiyixin agreed to provide loans to the registered shareholders of Shenzhen Yitian, to be used exclusively as investment in Shenzhen Yitian. The loan must not be used for any other purposes without the relevant lender’s prior written consent. The term of the loan agreement commences from the date of the agreement and ends on the date the lender exercises its exclusive option under the relevant exclusive share purchase option agreement, or when certain defined termination events occur, such as if the lender sends a written notice demanding repayment to the borrower, or upon the default of the borrower, whichever is earlier. After the lender exercises its exclusive option, the borrower may repay the loan by transferring all of its equity interest in the relevant Onshore Holdco to the lender, or a person or entity nominated by the lender, and use the proceeds of such transfer as repayment of the loan. If the proceeds of such transfer are equal to or less than the principal of the loan under the loan agreement, the loan is considered interest-free. If the proceeds of such transfer is higher than the principal of the loan under the loan agreement, any surplus is considered interest for the loan.
Power of Attorney
Pursuant to the power of attorney dated December 24, 2020, by Shenzhen Weiyixin and each shareholder of Shenzhen Yitian, respectively, each shareholder of Shenzhen Yitian irrevocably authorized Shenzhen Weiyixin or any person(s) designated by Shenzhen Weiyixin to exercise such shareholder’s voting rights in Shenzhen Yitian, including, without limitation, the power to participate in and vote at shareholder’s meetings, the power to nominate directors and appoint senior management, the power to sell or transfer such shareholder’s equity interest in Shenzhen Yitian, and other shareholders’ voting rights permitted by PRC law and the Articles of Association of Shenzhen Yitian. The power of attorney remains irrevocable and continuously valid from the date of execution so long as each shareholder remains as a shareholder of Shenzhen Yitian.
F- 12
Spousal Consent Letters
Pursuant to these letters, the spouses of the applicable shareholders of Shenzhen Yitian unconditionally and irrevocably agreed that the equity interest in Shenzhen Yitian held by them and registered in their names will be disposed of pursuant to the equity interest pledge agreement, the exclusive option agreement, and the power of attorney. Each of their spouses agreed not to assert any rights over the equity interest in Shenzhen Yitian held by their respective spouses. In addition, in the event that any spouse obtains any equity interest in Shenzhen Yitian held by his or her spouse for any reason, he or she agreed to be bound by the contractual arrangements.
Based on the foregoing contractual arrangements, which grant Shenzhen Weiyixin effective control of Shenzhen Yitian and enable Shenzhen Weiyixin to receive all of their expected residual returns, the Company accounts for Shenzhen Yitian as a VIE on December 24, 2020. The consolidated financial statements are prepared on the basis as if the reorganization became effective as of the beginning of the first period presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company.
Due to the business strategy adjustment, Shenzhen Yitian and its subsidiaries no longer operate the business involving foreign investment restrictions since March 1, 2022, therefore VIYI is able to have direct equity interest in Shenzhen Yitian and its subsidiaries. On April 1, 2022, VIYI terminated the agreements under the VIE structure with Shenzhen Yitian. Shenzhen Yitian’s original shareholders transferred their respective ownership to VIYI WFOE and VIYI WFOE obtained 100% equity control of Shenzhen Yitian and its subsidiaries on April 1, 2022.
Note 2 — Summary of significant accounting policies
Basis of presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), regarding financial reporting, and include all normal and recurring adjustments that management of the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of its financial position and operation results.
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries, which include the wholly-foreign owned enterprise (“WFOE”) and variable interest entity (“VIE”) and VIE’s subsidiaries over which the Company exercises control and, when applicable, entities for which the Company has a controlling financial interest or is the primary beneficiary. All transactions and balances among the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Use of estimates and assumptions
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements include the useful lives of property and equipment and intangible assets, impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill, allowance for doubtful accounts, provision for contingent liabilities, revenue recognition, right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, deferred taxes and uncertain tax position, the fair value of contingent consideration related to business acquisitions and allocation of expenses from the Parent and Beijing WiMi. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
F- 13
Foreign currency translation and other comprehensive income (loss)
The Company uses U.S. dollar (“USD”) as its reporting currency. The functional currency of VIYI is Hong Kong Dollar, its subsidiary in Singapore is U.S. dollar, and its other subsidiaries which are incorporated in PRC are RMB, respectively, which are their respective local currencies based on the criteria of ASC 830, “Foreign Currency Matters”.
In the consolidated financial statements, the financial information of the Company and other entities located outside of the PRC has been translated into RMB. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates on the balance sheet date, equity amounts are translated at historical exchange rates, and revenues, expenses, gains and losses are translated using the average rate for the period.
Translation adjustments included in accumulated other comprehensive income amounted to $ 2,895,054 and negative $ 1,622,503 as of December 31, 2021 and 2022, respectively. The balance sheet amounts, with the exception of shareholders’ equity, at December 31, 2021 and 2022 were translated at USD 1.00 to HKD 7.7981 and to HKD 7.7965 , respectively. The average translation rates applied to statement of income accounts for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022 were USD 1.00 to HKD 7.7729 and to HKD 7.8311 , respectively. The balance sheet amounts, with the exception of shareholders’ equity at December 31, 2021 and 2022 were translated at USD 1.00 to RMB 6.3757 and to RMB 6.9646 respectively. The average translation rates applied to statement of income accounts for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022 were USD 1.00 to RMB 6.4515 and to RMB 6.7261 , respectively. The shareholders’ equity accounts were stated at their historical rate. Cash flows are also translated at average translation rates for the periods, therefore, amounts reported on the statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the consolidated balance sheets.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents primarily consist of bank deposits with original maturities of three months or less, which are unrestricted as to withdrawal and use. Cash and cash equivalents also consist of funds earned from the Company’s operating revenues which were held at third party platform fund accounts which are unrestricted as to immediate use or withdraw. The Company maintains most of its bank accounts in the PRC, HK and Singapore.
Accounts receivable, net
Accounts receivable include trade accounts due from customers. Accounts are considered overdue after 90 days. Management reviews its receivables on a regular basis to determine if the bad debt allowance is adequate and provides allowance when necessary. The allowance is based on management’s best estimates of specific losses on individual customer exposures, as well as the historical trends of collections. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the likelihood of collection is not probable. For the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2022, the Company made $ 225,858 and nil 0 allowance for doubtful accounts for accounts receivable, respectively.
Short term investments
Short-term investments are investments in wealth management product with underlying in cash, bonds and equity funds. The investments can be redeemed any time and the investment was recorded at fair value. The gain (loss) from sale of any investments and fair value change are recognized in the statements of income and comprehensive income.
Inventories
Inventories are comprised of finished goods and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the weighted average method. Management reviews inventories for obsolescence and cost in excess of net realizable value periodically when appropriate and records a reserve against the inventory when the carrying value exceeds net realizable value. As of December 31, 2021 and 2022, the Company determined that no allowance was necessary.
F- 14
Prepaid services fees
Prepaid services fees are mainly payments made to vendors or services providers for future services. These amounts are refundable and bear no interest. Prepaid services fees also include money deposited with certain channel providers to ensure the contents of the advertisement do not violate the terms of the channel providers. The deposits usually have one year term and are refundable upon contract termination. Management reviews its prepaid services fees on a regular basis to determine if the allowance is adequate and adjusts the allowance when necessary. As of December 31, 2021 and 2022, no allowance was deemed necessary.
Other receivables and prepaid expenses
Other receivables that are short term in nature include employee advances to pay certain of the Company’s expenses in the normal course of business and certain short-term deposits. Prepaid expenses included utilities or system services. An allowance for doubtful accounts may be established and recorded based on management’s assessment of the likelihood of collection. Management reviews these items on a regular basis to determine if the allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate and adjusts the allowance when necessary. Delinquent account balances are written-off against the allowance for doubtful accounts after management has determined that the likelihood of collection is not probable. No allowance was required as of December 31, 2021 and 2022.
Loans receivable
Loans receivable represents loans to a third party under the terms of the agreements signed in November and December 2021 at 3.85 % interest per annum. The loans have terms of one-year and are collateralized by real estate property for approximately RMB 24.0 million (USD 3.8 million). Management regularly reviews the aging of loans receivable and changes in payment trends and records allowances when management believes collection of amounts due are at risk. Loans receivable considered uncollectable are written off against allowances after exhaustive efforts at collection are made. As of December 31, 2022, no allowance was deemed necessary. Full amount of loans receivable was subsequently collected in May 2022.
Property and equipment, net
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment if applicable. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets with 5% residual value. The estimated useful lives are as follows:
Schedule of estimated useful lives of property and equipment, net
Useful Life
Office equipment
3 years
Office furniture and fixtures
3 – 5 years
Leasehold improvements
lesser of lease term or expected useful life
Deferred merger costs
Prepaid merger costs consist primarily of expenses paid to attorneys, consultants, underwriters, and etc. related to its merger transaction. The balance will be offset with the proceeds received after the close of the offering.
Cost method investments
The Company accounts for investments with less than 20% of the voting shares and does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies of the investee using the cost method. The Company records cost method investments at the historical cost in its consolidated financial statements and subsequently records any dividends received from the net accumulated earrings of the investee as income. Dividends received in excess of earnings are considered a return of investment and are recorded as reduction in the cost of the investments.
F- 15
Cost method investments are evaluated for impairment when facts or circumstances indicate that the fair value of the long-term investments is less than its carrying value. An impairment is recognized when a decline in fair value is determined to be other-than-temporary. The Company reviews several factors to determine whether a loss is other-than-temporary. These factors include, but are not limited to, the: (i) nature of the investment; (ii) cause and duration of the impairment; (iii) extent to which fair value is less than cost; (iv) financial condition and near term prospects of the investments; and (v) ability to hold the security for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. No event had occurred and indicated that other-than-temporary impairment existed and therefore the Company did not record any impairment charges for its investments for the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2022.
Intangible assets, net
The Company’s intangible assets with definite useful lives primarily consist of copyrights, non-compete agreements, and technology know-hows. Identifiable intangible assets resulting from the acquisitions of subsidiaries accounted for using the purchase method of accounting are estimated by management based on the fair value of assets received. The Company amortizes its intangible assets with definite useful lives over their estimated useful lives and reviews these assets for impairment. The Company typically amortizes its intangible assets with definite useful lives on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the contractual terms or the estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives are as follows:
Schedule of estimated useful lives of intangible assets, net
Useful Life
Customer relationship
4 years
Technology know-hows
5 years
Non-compete agreements
6 years
Software copyright
6 years
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration paid of an acquisition over the fair value of the net identifiable assets of the acquired subsidiaries at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is not amortized and is tested for impairment at least annually, more often when circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred. Goodwill is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. If impairment exists, goodwill is immediately written off to its fair value and the loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed.
The Company reviews the carrying value of intangible assets not subject to amortization, including goodwill, to determine whether impairment may exist annually or more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that an impairment has occurred. The Company has the option to assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform further impairment testing in accordance with ASC 350-20, as amended by ASU 2017-04. If the Company believes, as a result of the qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then the impairment test described below is required. The Company compares the fair values of each reporting unit to its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of each reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill is not considered to be impaired. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, impairment is recognized for the difference, limited to the amount of goodwill recognized for the reporting unit. Estimating fair value is performed by utilizing various valuation techniques, with the primary technique being a discounted cash flow.
Impairment for long-lived assets
Long-lived assets, including property and equipment and intangible assets with finite lives are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances (such as a significant adverse change to market conditions that will impact the future use of the assets) indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company assesses the recoverability of the assets based on the undiscounted future cash flows the assets are expected to generate and recognize an impairment loss when estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset plus net proceeds expected from disposition of the asset, if any, are less than the carrying value of the asset. If an impairment is identified, the Company would reduce the carrying amount of the asset to its estimated fair value based on a discounted cash flows approach or, when available and appropriate, to comparable market values. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022, no impairment of long-lived assets was recognized.
F- 16
Business combination
The purchase price of an acquired company is allocated between tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed from the acquired business based on their estimated fair values, with the residual of the purchase price recorded as goodwill. Transaction costs associated with business combinations are expensed as incurred, and are included in general and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The results of operations of the acquired business are included in the Company’s operating results from the date of acquisition.
Fair value measurement
The accounting standard regarding fair value of financial instruments and related fair value measurements defines financial instruments and requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company.
The accounting standards define fair value, establish a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhance disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels are defined as follow:
●
Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) 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 assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.
●
Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.
Warrants liabilities
The Company accounts for warrants (Public Warrants or Private Warrants) as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 480 and ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own ordinary shares and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.
For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of equity at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as liabilities at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the consolidated statements of operations. The Company has elected to account for its Public Warrants as equity and the Private Warrants as liabilities.
Revenue recognition
The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC Topic 606). The ASU requires the use of a new five-step model to recognize revenue from customer contracts. The five-step model requires that the Company (i) identifies the contract with the customer, (ii) identifies the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determines the transaction price, including variable consideration to the extent that it is probable that a significant future reversal will not occur, (iv) allocates the transaction price to the respective performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognizes revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies the performance obligation.

(i)
Central Processing Advertising Algorithm Services
— Advertising display services
For the advertising algorithm advertising display services, the Company’s performance obligation is to identify advertising spaces, embed images or videos into films, shows and short form videos that are hosted by leading online streaming platforms in China. Revenue is recognized at a point in time when the related services have been delivered based on the specific terms of the contract, which are commonly based on specific action (i.e., cost per impression (“CPM”) for online display).
The Company enters into advertising contracts with advertisers where the amounts charged per specific action are fixed and determinable, the specific terms of the contracts were agreed on by the Company, the advertisers and channel providers, and collectability is probable. Revenue is recognized on a CPM basis as impressions.
The Company considers itself as provider of the services as it has control of the specified services and products at any time before it is transferred to the customers which is evidenced by (1) the Company is primarily responsible to its customers for products and services offered where the products were designed in house and the Company has customer services team to directly serve the customers; and (2) having latitude in establish pricing. Therefore the Company acts as the principal of these arrangements and reports revenue earned and costs incurred related to these transactions on a gross basis.
— Performance-based advertising service
The Company provides central processing algorithm performance-based advertising services for its customers, which enable the customers to get the optimal business opportunities.
The Company’s performance obligation is to help customers to accurately match consumers and traffic users, and thereby increasing the conversion rate of product sale using its proprietary data optimization algorithms. The Company’s revenue is recognized at a point when an ender user completes a transaction at a rate specified in contract. Related service fees are generally billed monthly, based on a per transaction basis.
The Company considers itself as provider of the services as it has control of the specified services and products at any time before it is transferred to the customers which is evidenced by (1) it is primarily responsible to its customers for the services offered where the algorithms and data optimization were designed and performed in house and it has customer services team to directly serve the customers; and (2) having latitude in establish pricing. Therefore, VIYI acts as the principal of these arrangements and reports revenue earned and costs incurred related to these transactions on a gross basis.
In addition, through the Company’s data algorithm optimization, it is able to identify certain end user needs and it facilitates certain value added services to the end users. The Company engages third party services provider to perform the services. The Company concludes that it does not control the services as the third party service provider is responsible for providing the service and its responsibility is merely to facilitate the provision of these value added service to the end users and charges a fee. As such the Company recorded revenue from the value added services on a net basis when the services is provided by third party service provider.
(ii)
Mobile Games Services
The Company generates revenue from jointly operated mobile game publishing services and the licensed out games. In accordance with ASC 606, Revenue Recognition: Principal Agent Considerations, the Company evaluates agreements with the game developers, distribution channels and payment channels in order to determine whether or not the Company acts as the principal or as an agent in the arrangement with each party respectively. The determination of whether to record the revenues gross or net is based on whether the Company’s promise to its customers is to provide the products or services or to facilitate a sale by a third party. The nature of the promise depends on whether the Company controls the products or services prior to transferring it. Control is evidenced by if the Company is primarily responsible for fulling the provision of services and has discretion in establishing the selling price. When the Company controls the products or services, its promise is to provide and deliver the products and revenue is presented gross. When the Company does not control the products, the promise is to facilitate the sale and revenue is presented net.
F- 18
— Jointly operated mobile game publishing services
The Company offers publishing services for mobile games developed by third-party game developers. The Company acted as a distribution channel that it will publish the games on their own app or a third-party owned app or website, named game portals. Through these game portals, game players can download the mobile games to their mobile devices and purchase coins, the virtual currency, for in game premium features to enhance their game playing experience. The Company contracts with third-party payment platforms for collection services offered to game players who have purchased coins. The third-party game developers, third-party payment platforms and the co-publishers are entitled to profit sharing based on a prescribed percentage of the gross amount charged to the game players. The Company’s obligation in the publishing services is completed at a point in time when the game players made a payment to purchase coins.
With respect to the publishing services arrangements between the Company and the game developer, the Company considered that the Company does not control the services as evidenced by (i) developers are responsible for providing the game product desired by the game players; (ii) the hosting and maintenance of game servers for running the online mobile games is the responsibility of the third-party platforms; (iii) the developers or third-party platforms have the right to change the pricing of in game virtual items. The Company’s responsibilities are publishing, providing payment solution and market promotion service, and thus the Company views the game developers to be its customers and considers itself as the facilitator of the game developers in the arrangements with game players. Accordingly, the Company records the game publishing service revenue from these games, net of amounts paid to the game developers.
— Licensed out mobile games
The Company also licenses third parties to operate its mobile games developed internally through mobile portal and receives revenue from the third-party licensee operators on a monthly basis. The Company’s performance obligation is to provide mobile games to game operators which enable players of the mobile games to make in game purchases and the Company recognized revenue at a point in time when game players completed the purchases. The Company records revenues on a net basis, as the Company does not have the control of the services provided as it does not have the primary responsibility for fulfilment nor does not have the right to change the pricing of the game services.
(iii)
Sale of intelligent chips
Starting in September 2020, the Company has also been engaged in resale of intelligent chips products and accessories. The Company typically enters into written contracts with its customer where the rights of the parties, including payment terms, are identified and sales prices to the customers are fixed with no separate sales rebate, discount, or other incentive and no right of return exists on sales of inventory. The Company’s performance obligation is to deliver products according to contract specifications. The Company recognizes gross product revenue at a point in time when the control of products or services are transferred to customers.
To distinguish a promise to provide products from a promise to facilitate the sale from a third party, the Company considers the guidance of control in ASC 606-10-55-37A and the indicators in 606-10-55-39. The Company considers this guidance in conjunction with the terms in the Company’s arrangements with both suppliers and customers.
In general, the Company controls the products as it has the obligation to (i) fulfil the products delivery and (ii) bear any inventory risk as legal owners. In addition, when establishing the selling prices for delivery of the resale products, the Company has control to set its selling price to ensure it would generate profit for the products delivery arrangements. The Company believes that all these factors indicate that the Company is acting as a principal in this transaction. As a result, revenue from the sales of products is presented on a gross basis.
(iv)
Revenue from software development
The Company also designs software for central processing units based on customers’ specific needs. The contract is typically fixed priced and does not provide any post contract customer support or upgrades. The Company’s performance obligation is to design, develop, test and install the related software for customers, all of which are considered one performance obligation as the customers do not obtain benefit for each separate service. The duration of the development period is short, usually less than one year.
F- 19
The Company’s revenue from software development contracts is generally recognized over time during the development period and the Company has no alternative use of the customized software and application without incurring significant additional costs. Revenue is recognized based on the Company’s measurement of progress towards completion based on output methods when the Company could appropriately measure the customization progress towards completion by reaching certain milestones specified in contracts. Assumptions, risks and uncertainties inherent in the estimates used to measure progress could affect the amount of revenues, receivables and deferred revenues at each reporting period.
Contract balances:
The Company records receivable related to revenue when it has an unconditional right to invoice and receive payment.
Payments received from customers before all the relevant criteria for revenue recognition met are recorded as deferred revenue.

Cost of revenues
Cost of revenue for central processing algorithm services comprised of costs paid to channel distributors based on the sales agreements, shared costs with content providers based on the profit sharing arrangements, third party consulting services expenses and compensation expenses for the Company’s professionals.
For intelligent chip and services, the cost of revenue consist primarily of the costs of products sold and third party software development costs.
F- 20
Cost allocation
Cost allocation include allocation of certain general and administrative and financial expenses paid by the Parent. General and administrative expenses consist primarily salary and related expenses of senior management and VIYI employees, shared management expenses, including accounting, consulting, legal support services, and other expenses to provide operating support to the related businesses. These allocations are made using a proportional cost allocation method by considering the proportion of revenues, headcounts as well as estimates of time spent on the provision of services attributable to the Company and the related expenses resulted from the acquisition of subsidiary.
Advertising costs
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and included in selling expenses. Advertising costs are historically immaterial to the Company’s operating expenses. Advertising costs amounted to $ 279 and nil 0 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022, respectively.
Research and development
Research and development expenses include salaries and other compensation-related expenses to the Company’s research and product development personnel, outsourced subcontractors, as well as office rental, depreciation and related expenses for the Company’s research and product development team.
Value added taxes (“VAT”) and goods and services taxes (“GST”)
Revenue represents the invoiced value of service, net of VAT or GST. The VAT and GST are based on gross sales price and VAT rates range up to 13% in China, depending on the type of service provided or product sold, and GST rate is generally 7% in Singapore. Entities that are VAT/GST general taxpayers are allowed to offset qualified input VAT/GST paid to suppliers against their output VAT/GST liabilities. Net VAT/GST balance between input VAT/GST and output VAT/GST is recorded in tax payable. All of the VAT/GST returns filed by the Company’s subsidiaries in China and Singapore, have been and remain subject to examination by the tax authorities for five years from the date of filing.
Income taxes
The Company accounts for current income taxes in accordance with the laws of the relevant tax authorities. The charge for taxation is based on the results for the fiscal year as adjusted for items, which are non-assessable or disallowed. It is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
Deferred taxes is accounted for using the asset and liability method in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax basis used in the computation of assessable tax profit. In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Deferred tax is calculated using tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the income statement, except when it is related to items credited or charged directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws of the relevant taxing authorities.
An uncertain tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. No penalties and interest incurred related to underpayment of income tax are classified as income tax expense in the period incurred. PRC tax returns filed in 2019 to 2021 are subject to examination by any applicable tax authorities.
F- 21
Other Income, net
Other Income includes government subsidies which are amounts granted by local government authorities as an incentive for companies to promote development of the local technology industry. The Company receives government subsidies related to government sponsored projects and records such government subsidies as a liability when it is received. The Company records government subsidies as other income when there is no further performance obligation. Total government subsidies amounted to $ 45,378 and $ 184,778 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022, respectively.
Other income also includes $ 260,149 and $ 73,415 of input VAT credit the Company redeemed during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022. As part of VAT reform in 2019, from April 1, 2019 to December 31, 2021, a taxpayer in certain service industries could claim additional 10% of input VAT credit based on total input VAT paid to suppliers, the credit was applied to offset with the Company’s VAT payable.
Leases
The Company adopted FASB ASU 2016-02, “Leases” (Topic 842) for the year ended December 31, 2020, and elected the practical expedients that does not require us to reassess: (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are, or contain, leases, (2) lease classification for any expired or existing leases and (3) initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases. For lease terms of twelve months or fewer, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election not to recognize lease assets and liabilities. The Company also adopted the practical expedient that allows lessees to treat the lease and non-lease components of a lease as a single lease component. Upon adoption, the Company recognized approximately RMB 1.6 million right of use (“ROU”) assets and same amount of lease liabilities based on the present value of the future minimum rental payments of leases, using an incremental borrowing rate of 7% based on the duration of lease terms.
Operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the adoption date or the commencement date, whichever is earlier, based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Since the implicit rate for the Company’s leases is not readily determinable, the Company use its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow, on a collateralized basis, an amount equal to the lease payments, in a similar economic environment and over a similar term.
Lease terms used to calculate the present value of lease payments generally do not include any options to extend, renew, or terminate the lease, as the Company does not have reasonable certainty at lease inception that these options will be exercised. The Company generally considers the economic life of its operating lease ROU assets to be comparable to the useful life of similar owned assets. The Company has elected the short-term lease exception, therefore operating lease ROU assets and liabilities do not include leases with a lease term of twelve months or less. Its leases generally do not provide a residual guarantee. The operating lease ROU asset also excludes lease incentives. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Company reviews the impairment of its ROU assets consistent with the approach applied for its other long-lived assets. The Company reviews the recoverability of its long-lived assets when events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. The assessment of possible impairment is based on its ability to recover the carrying value of the asset from the expected undiscounted future pre-tax cash flows of the related operations. The Company has elected to include the carrying amount of operating lease liabilities in any tested asset group and include the associated operating lease payments in the undiscounted future pre-tax cash flows.
Share-based compensation
The Company records share-based compensation expense for employees by allocations from Wimi Inc. using a proportional cost allocation method by considering the headcount and its estimates of each employee’s time attributable to the Company. The share-based compensation expenses are valued at fair value on the grant date when the reward is approved. Share-based compensation is recognized net of forfeitures, as amortized expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is the vesting period.
The Company accounts for share-based compensation expenses using an estimated forfeiture rate at the time of grant and revising, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from initial estimates. Share-based compensation expenses are recorded net of estimated forfeitures such that expenses are recorded only for those share-based awards that are expected to vest.
F- 22
Employee benefit
The full-time employees of the Company are entitled to staff welfare benefits including medical care, housing fund, pension benefits, unemployment insurance and other welfare, which are government mandated defined contribution plans. The Company is required to accrue for these benefits based on certain percentages of the employees’ respective salaries, subject to certain ceilings, in accordance with the relevant PRC regulations, and make cash contributions to the state-sponsored plans out of the amounts accrued. Total expenses for the plans were $ 213,314 and $ 278,978 for the years ended December 31, 2021and 2022, respectively.
Noncontrolling interests
Noncontrolling interest consists of an aggregate of 42 % of the equity interest of Shanghai Weimu , 40 % of the equity interest of Tianjin Weidong (no operations), 45 % of equity interest of Viwo Tech and 45 % of ViZe (no operations) held by other investors. Excess of contribution received from noncontrolling shareholders over carrying value of the entity is recorded in additional paid in capital. The noncontrolling interests are presented in the consolidated balance sheets, separately from equity attributable to the shareholders of the Company. Noncontrolling interests in the results of the Company are presented on the face of the consolidated statement of operations as an allocation of the total income or loss for the year between non-controlling interest holders and the shareholders of the Company.
Noncontrolling interests consist of the following:

Earnings per share
The Company computes earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share”. ASC 260 requires companies to present basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is measured as net income divided by the weighted average ordinary share outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS presents the dilutive effect on a per share basis of the potential ordinary 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 ordinary 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. During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022, there was no dilutive shares.
Statutory reserves
Pursuant to the laws applicable to the PRC, PRC entities must make appropriations from after-tax profit to the non-distributable “statutory surplus reserve fund”. Subject to certain cumulative limits, the “statutory surplus reserve fund” requires annual appropriations of 10% of after-tax profit until the aggregated appropriations reach 50% of the registered capital (as determined under accounting principles generally accepted in the PRC (“PRC GAAP”) at each year-end). For foreign invested enterprises and joint ventures in the PRC, annual appropriations should be made to the “reserve fund”. For foreign invested enterprises, the annual appropriation for the “reserve fund” cannot be less than 10% of after-tax profits until the aggregated appropriations reach 50% of the registered capital (as determined under PRC GAAP at each year-end). If the Company has accumulated loss from prior periods, the Company is able to use the current period net income after tax to offset against the accumulate loss.
F- 23
Segment reporting
FASB ASC 280, Segment Reporting, establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments on a basis consistent with the Company’s internal organizational structure as well as information about geographical areas, business segments and major customers in financial statements for details on the Company’s business segments.
The Company uses the management approach to determine reportable operating segments. The management approach considers the internal organization and reporting used by the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) for making decisions, allocating resources and assessing performance. The Company’s CODM has been identified as the CEO, who reviews consolidated results when making decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance of the Company.
Based on management’s assessment, the Company determined that it has two operating segments and therefore two reportable segments as defined by ASC 280, which are central processing algorithm services and intelligent chips and services. All of the Company’s net revenues were generated in the PRC, Hong Kong and Singapore.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, which is an update to ASU Update No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which introduced the expected credit losses methodology for the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost basis, replacing the previous incurred loss methodology. The amendments in Update 2016-13 added Topic 326, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses, and made several consequential amendments to the Codification. Update 2016-13 also modified the accounting for available-for-sale debt securities, which must be individually assessed for credit losses when fair value is less than the amortized cost basis, in accordance with Subtopic 326-30, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses — Available-for-Sale Debt Securities. The amendments in this Update address those stakeholders’ concerns by providing an option to irrevocably elect the fair value option for certain financial assets previously measured at amortized cost basis. For those entities, the targeted transition relief will increase comparability of financial statement information by providing an option to align measurement methodologies for similar financial assets. Furthermore, the targeted transition relief also may reduce the costs for some entities to comply with the amendments in Update 2016-13 while still providing financial statement users with decision-useful information. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10, which to update the effective date of ASU No. 2016-02 for private companies, not-for-profit organizations and certain smaller reporting companies applying for credit losses, leases, and hedging standard. The new effective date for these preparers is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The adoption of this ASU does not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Except as mentioned above, the Company does not believe other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, statements of income and comprehensive income and statements of cash flows.

Note 4 — Variable interest entity (“VIE”)
Shenzhen Weiyixin entered into Contractual Arrangements with Shenzhen Yitian on December 24, 2020. The significant terms of these Contractual Arrangements are summarized in “Note 1 — Nature of business and organization” above. As a result, prior to April 1, 2022, the Company classifies Shenzhen Yitian as VIE was consolidated in the consolidated financial statements based on the structure as described in Note 1.
A VIE is an entity that has either a total equity investment that is insufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, or whose equity investors lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest, such as through voting rights, right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity or obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity. The variable interest holder, if any, that has a controlling financial interest in a VIE is deemed to be the primary beneficiary and must consolidate the VIE.
Shenzhen Weiyixin is deemed to have a controlling financial interest and be the primary beneficiary of Shenzhen Yitian because it has both of the following characteristics:
(1)
The power to direct activities at Shenzhen Yitian that most significantly impact such entity’s economic performance, and
(2)
The right to receive benefits from Shenzhen Yitian that could potentially be significant to such entity.
Pursuant to the Contractual Arrangements, Shenzhen Yitian pays service fees equal to all of its net income to Shenzhen Weiyixin. The Contractual Arrangements are designed so that Shenzhen Yitian operate for the benefit of Shenzhen Weiyixin and ultimately, the Company.
Accordingly, the accounts of Shenzhen Yitian were consolidated in the accompanying financial statements as VIE of Shenzhen Weiyixin from December 24, 2020 forward and retroactively as if the reorganization became effective as of the beginning of the first period presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company. Under the VIE Arrangements, the Company has the power to direct activities of Shenzhen Yitian and can have assets transferred out of Shenzhen Yitian. Therefore, the Company considers that there is no asset in Shenzhen Yitian that can be used only to settle obligations of Shenzhen Yitian, except for registered capital and PRC statutory reserves, if any. As Shenzhen Yitian is incorporated as limited liability company under the Company Law of the PRC, creditors of the Shenzhen Yitian do not have recourse to the general credit of the Company for any of the liabilities of Shenzhen Yitian.
F- 25
In the opinion of management and the Company’s PRC counsel, (i) the ownership structure of the Company is in compliance with existing PRC laws and regulations; (ii) the Contractual Arrangements are valid and binding, and do not result in any violation of PRC laws or regulations currently in effect; and (iii) the business operations of Shenzhen Yitian and the VIE are in compliance with existing PRC laws and regulations in all material respects.
However, there are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of current and future PRC laws and regulations. Accordingly, the Company cannot be assured that PRC regulatory authorities will not ultimately take a contrary view to the foregoing opinion of its management. If the current corporate structure of the Company or the Contractual Arrangements is found to be in violation of any existing or future PRC laws and regulations, the Company may be required to restructure its corporate structure and operations in the PRC to comply with changing and new PRC laws and regulations. In the opinion of management and the Company’s PRC counsel, the likelihood of loss in respect of the Company’s current corporate structure or the Contractual Arrangements is remote based on current facts and circumstances.
Due to the business strategy adjustment, Shenzhen Yitian and its subsidiaries no longer operate the business involving foreign investment restrictions since March 1, 2022, therefore VIYI is able to have direct equity interest in Shenzhen Yitian and its subsidiaries. On April 1, 2022, VIYI terminated the agreements under the VIE structure with Shenzhen Yitian. Shenzhen Yitian’s original shareholders transferred their respective ownership to VIYI WFOE and VIYI WFOE obtained 100% equity control of Shenzhen Yitian and its subsidiaries on April 1, 2022. The reorganization has no effect on the consolidated financial statements as Shenzhen Yitian has been under common control of VIYI Cayman that there is no change of reporting entities.
The carrying amount of the consolidated assets and liabilities are as follows:

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 PBOC. Remittances in currencies other than RMB by the Company in China must be processed through the PBOC or other China foreign exchange regulatory bodies which require certain supporting documentation in order to affect the remittance.
To the extent that the Company needs to convert U.S. dollars into RMB for capital expenditures and working capital and other business purposes, appreciation of RMB against U.S. dollar would have an adverse effect on the RMB amount the Company would receive from the conversion. Conversely, if the Company decides to convert RMB into U.S. dollar for the purpose of making payments for dividends, strategic acquisition or investments or other business purposes, appreciation of U.S. dollar against RMB would have a negative effect on the U.S. dollar amount available to the Company.
Customer concentration risk
For the year ended December 31, 2021, one customer accounted for 23.9 % of the Company’s total revenues. For the year ended December 31, 2022, one customer accounted for 18.5 % of the Company’s total revenues.
As of December 31, 2021, three customers accounted for 46.1 % of the Company’s accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2022, two customers accounted for 57.8 % of the Company’s accounts receivable.
Vendor concentration risk
For the year ended December 31, 2021, three vendors accounted for 61.2 % of the Company’s total purchases. For the year ended December 31, 2022, one vendor accounted for 11.3 % of the Company’s total purchases.
As of December 31, 2021, six vendors accounted for 95.8 % of the Company’s accounts payable. As of December 31, 2022, three vendors accounted for 82.4 % of the Company’s accounts payable.
Note 15 — Leases
Lease commitments
The Company determines if a contract contains a lease at inception. US GAAP requires that the Company’s leases be evaluated and classified as operating or finance leases for financial reporting purposes. The classification evaluation begins at the commencement date and the lease term used in the evaluation includes the non-cancellable period for which the Company has the right to use the underlying asset, together with renewal option periods when the exercise of the renewal option is reasonably certain and failure to exercise such option which result in an economic penalty. All of the Company’s real estate leases are classified as operating leases.
The Company has entered into eight non-cancellable operating lease agreements for ten office spaces expiring through December 2023. As of December 31, 2020, upon adoption of FASB ASU 2016-02, the Company recognized approximately RMB 2.7 million right of use (“ROU”) assets and same amount of lease liabilities based on the present value of the future minimum rental payments of leases, using a weighted average discount rate of 7 %, which is determined using an incremental borrowing rate with similar term in the PRC. Two ROU assets and lease liabilities were recognized during the years ended December 31, 2022. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. The leases generally do not contain options to extend at the time of expiration and the weighted average remaining lease terms are 1 year. The Company takes the short-term lease exemption for the lease agreements with a term of less than 1 year and expensed $ 42,844 and $ 100,988 during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022, respectively.
Operating lease expenses are allocated between the cost of revenue and selling, research and development, general, and administrative expenses. Rent expenses for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022 was $ 239,983 and $ 245,573 , respectively. Impairment of right of use assets amounted for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022 was nil and $ 22,456 , respectively.

Note 16 — Shareholders’ equity
Ordinary shares
The Company was established under the laws of Cayman Islands on May 14, 2018 with authorized share of 50,000,000 ordinary shares of par value USD 0.001 each.
On February 11, 2021, the Company consummated the IPO of 4,000,000 units (the “Units”). In addition, the underwriters exercised in full the over-allotment option for an additional 600,000 Units on such date, resulting in the issuance and sale of an aggregate of 4,600,000 Units. Each Unit consists of one ordinary share, par value $0.001 per share (“Share”), one warrant (“Warrant”) entitling its holder to purchase one-half of one Share at a price of $11.50 per Share, and one right to receive one-tenth (1/10) of one Share upon the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination.
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering on February 11, 2021, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of or 225,000 Private Units at a price of $ 10.00 per Private Unit, ($ 2,250,000 in the aggregate), from the Company in a private placement.
As of December 31, 2022, the Company had 4,600,000 Public Warrants and 225,000 Private Warrants outstanding. See Note 17 for further details.
Statutory reserve
VIYI PRC entities are required to set aside at least 10% of their after-tax profits each year, if any, to fund certain statutory reserve funds until such reserve funds reach 50% of its registered capital. In addition, VIYI PRC entities may allocate a portion of its after-tax profits based on PRC accounting standards to enterprise expansion fund and staff bonus and welfare fund at its discretion. VIYI PRC entities may allocate a portion of its after-tax profits based on PRC accounting standards to a discretionary surplus fund at its discretion. The statutory reserve funds and the discretionary funds are not distributable as cash dividends. Remittance of dividends by a wholly foreign-owned company out of China is subject to examination by the banks designated by State Administration of Foreign Exchange. As of December 31, 2021 and 2022, VIYI PRC entities collectively attributed $ 1,420,145 and RMB 11,964,278 (USD 1,798,310 ), of retained earnings for their statutory reserves, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2022, VIYI PRC entities collectively attributed $ 690,674 and RMB 2,453,576 (USD 378,165 ) to statutory reserves, respectively.
F- 36
Restricted assets
The Company’s ability to pay dividends is primarily dependent on the Company receiving distributions of funds from its subsidiary. Relevant PRC statutory laws and regulations permit payments of dividends by VIYI PRC entities only out of its retained earnings, if any, as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. The results of operations reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP differ from those reflected in the statutory financial statements of VIYI PRC entities.
As a result of the foregoing restrictions, VIYI PRC entities are restricted in their ability to transfer their assets to the Company. Foreign exchange and other regulation in the PRC may further restrict VIYI PRC entities from transferring funds to the Company in the form of dividends, loans and advances. As of December 31, 2022, amounts restricted are the paid-in-capital and statutory reserve of VIYI PRC entities, which amounted to RMB 201,281,466 (USD 28,900,650 ).
Note 17 — Warrants
Public Warrants
Each public warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one-half (1/2) of one ordinary share at a price of $ 11.50 per full share, subject to adjustment as described in this prospectus. Pursuant to the warrant agreement, a warrant holder may exercise its warrants only for a whole number of shares. This means that only an even number of warrants may be exercised at any given time by a warrant holder.
No public warrants will be exercisable for cash unless the Company has an effective and current registration statement covering the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants and a current prospectus relating to such ordinary shares. It is the Company’s current intention to have an effective and current registration statement covering the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants and a current prospectus relating to such ordinary shares in effect promptly following consummation of an initial business combination.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a registration statement covering the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the public warrants is not effective within 90 days following the consummation of our initial business combination, public warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when we shall have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a cashless basis pursuant to an available exemption from registration under the Securities Act. In such event, each holder would pay the exercise price by surrendering the warrants for that number of ordinary shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of ordinary shares underlying the warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the warrants and the “Fair Market Value” (defined below) by (y) the Fair Market Value. The “Fair Market Value” shall mean the average reported last sale price of the ordinary shares for the 10 trading days ending on the day prior to the date of exercise. For example, if a holder held 300 warrants to purchase 150 shares and the Fair Market Value on the date prior to exercise was $15.00, that holder would receive 35 shares without the payment of any additional cash consideration. If an exemption from registration is not available, holders will not be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis.
The Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) the consummation of a Business Combination or (b) 12 months from the effective date of the registration statement relating to the IPO. The warrants will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the fifth anniversary of our completion of an initial business combination, or earlier upon redemption.
The Company may redeem the outstanding warrants (including any outstanding warrants issued upon exercise of the unit purchase option issued to Ladenburg Thalmann & Co., Inc.,), in whole and not in part, at a price of $0.01 per warrant:
●
at any time while the Public Warrants are exercisable,
●
upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each Public Warrant holder,
F- 37
●
if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the ordinary shares equals or exceeds $18.00 per share, for any 20 trading days within a 20 trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the notice of redemption to Public Warrant holders, and
●
if, and only if, there is a current registration statement in effect with respect to the issuance of the ordinary shares underlying such warrants at the time of redemption and for the entire 30-day trading period referred to above and continuing each day thereafter until the date of redemption.
If the foregoing conditions are satisfied and the Company would issue a notice of redemption, each warrant holder can exercise his, her or its warrant prior to the scheduled redemption date. However, the price of the ordinary shares may fall below the $18.00 trigger price as well as the $11.50 warrant exercise price per full share after the redemption notice is issued and not limit our ability to complete the redemption.
The redemption criteria for the warrants have been established at a price which is intended to provide warrant holders a reasonable premium to the initial exercise price and provide a sufficient differential between the then-prevailing share price and the warrant exercise price so that if the share price declines as a result of our redemption call, the redemption will not cause the share price to drop below the exercise price of the warrants.
If the Company call the warrants for redemption as described above, our management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise warrants to do so on a “cashless basis.” In such event, each holder would pay the exercise price by surrendering the whole warrants for that number of ordinary shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of ordinary shares underlying the warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the warrants and the “fair market value” (defined below) by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” shall mean the average reported last sale price of the ordinary shares for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants. Whether the Company will exercise our option to require all holders to exercise their warrants on a “cashless basis” will depend on a variety of factors including the price of our ordinary shares at the time the warrants are called for redemption, the Company’s cash needs at such time and concerns regarding dilutive share issuances.
Private Warrants
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated a private placement of 270,500 Private Units at $ 10.0 per unit, purchased by the sponsor. The Private Units are identical to the units sold in the Initial Public Offering except that the warrants included in the Private Units (the “Private Warrants”) and the ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or saleable until after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis and will be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the Private Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Private Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.
The private warrants are accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40 and are presented within warrant liabilities on the balance sheets. The warrants were classified as Level 3 at the initial measurement date due to the use of unobservable inputs.
The Company established the initial fair value for the private warrants at $ 380,000 on February 11, 2021, the date of the Company’s Initial Public Offering, using a Black-Scholes model. The Company allocated the proceeds received from the sale of Private Units, first to the private warrants based on their fair values as determined at initial measurement, with the remaining proceeds recorded as ordinary shares subject to possible redemption, and ordinary shares based on their relative fair values recorded at the initial measurement date. The warrants were classified as Level 3 at the initial measurement date due to the use of unobservable inputs.

The key inputs into the Black-Scholes model were as follows at their following measurement dates:

The fair value of the warrants on December 31, 2022 was nil. The change in fair value of warrants of $ 123,750 from December 09, 2022 to December 31, 2022 and is reflected in the Company's Statement of Operations.
Note 18 — Commitments and contingencies
Contingencies
From time to time, the Company is party to certain legal proceedings, as well as certain asserted and un-asserted claims. Amounts accrued, as well as the total amount of reasonably possible losses with respect to such matters, individually and in the aggregate, are not deemed to be material to the consolidated financial statements.
Coronavirus (“COVID-19”)
The ongoing outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has spread rapidly to many parts of the world. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 as a pandemic. The pandemic has resulted in quarantines, travel restrictions, and the temporary closure of stores and business facilities in China from February to mid-March in 2020. All of the Company’s business operations and the workforce are concentrated in China in 2020, so the Company closed offices and implemented work-from-home policy during that period. Due to the nature of the Company’s business, the impact of the closure on the operational capabilities was not significant.
As a result of the resurgence of COVID-19 variants in first quarter of 2022 in China, the Company’s office in the PRC was again closed for one week in first quarter of 2022. The Company’s customers have been impacted as a result of business disruption due to closures in various cities and affected their customers’ advertising spending. As a result, VIYI experienced lower revenue growth on advertising which affected VIYI’s gross margin.
In early December 2022, Chinese government eased the strict control measure for COVID-19, which has led to surge in increased infections and disruption in our business operations. Any future impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s China operation results will depend on, to a large extent, future developments and new information that may emerge regarding the duration and resurgence of COVID-19 variants and the actions taken by government authorities to contain COVID-19 or treat its impact, almost all of which are beyond our control.

Note 19 — Segments
ASC 280, “Segment Reporting”, establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments on a basis consistent with the Company’s internal organizational structure as well as information about geographical areas, business segments and major customers in financial statements for detailing the Company’s business segments.
The Company’s chief operating decision maker is the Chief Executive Officer, who reviews the financial information of the separate operating segments when making decisions about allocating resources and assessing the performance of the group.
