The production process for our green tea products involves selecting and sorting the fresh leaves, airing, fixating, cooling, rolling, stir drying, selecting and grading, prompting fragrance, packing and warehousing. The production process for our formaldehyde products is illustrated as follows. The raw material methanol, after being injected into the high position tank, enters the methanol evaporator through the filter, mixes with the air from the roots blower to form the binary mixture, and then adds steam to form the ternary mixture, which is heated by the superheater to 120 ℃ and enters the oxidizer, carries out oxidation and dehydrogenation reaction through the silver catalyst to form the formaldehyde gas, and then absorbs the formaldehyde solution through the first absorption tower and the second absorption tower. The excess waste gas is burned out by the exhaust gas boiler. The production process for our methyl starting with the raw materials methanol and formaldehyde are pumped into the reaction distillation tower according to the proportion. At the bottom of the tower, formaldehyde and methanol are indirectly heated by steam. The reaction liquid vapor from the tower upwards through the catalyst reaction to produce methyl acetal, and then through the distillation tower separation, cooling, the final product methyl acetal. The production process for our urea-formaldehyde glue is demonstrated as follows. Formaldehyde is pumped from the formaldehyde workshop into the tank of formaldehyde storage, and then pumped into the metering tank through the feed pump of formaldehyde. After the PH value is adjusted by adding alkali, it is sent into the reaction kettle. At the same time, urea is also added into the kettle according to the corresponding proportion, heating the reaction kettle. After heating up the kettle, melamine is added, so that the material can undergo addition reaction in the kettle. After the PH value is adjusted by dropping formic acid in the kettle, the material is sent into the condensation kettle through the transfer pump. Urea and additives are added into the condensation kettle according to a certain proportion for condensation reaction, and the finished product is formed after cooling treatment. The production process for our clean fuel oil is illustrated as follows. The self-control design of the facilities for storage of raw materials and addition of additives shall, in accordance with the requirements of the process, conduct centralized indication and adjustment of the temperature, flow rate and liquid level of the raw oil tanks, raw oil metering tanks, product oil allocation tanks and finished oil tanks during the fuel blending process; realize remote monitoring of the whole fuel production process, and conduct on-the-spot indication of pressure and partial flow rate. The production process for our construction rubber powder (re-dispersible latex powder) is demonstrated as follows. Using polymer emulsion (VAE emulsion) as raw material, all kinds of additives are added, and then transported to the reaction kettle through diaphragm pump to warm up and mix evenly, and then transported to the mixing kettle with additives through diaphragm pump to mix evenly, then transported to the high-speed reactor through diaphragm pump to emulsify, emulsified and then transported to the spare material tank through the diaphragm pump, and then transported to the spray drying tower through the spare material tank through the diaphragm pump to form polymer powder after spray drying, and the polymer powder and various additives are mixed and screened through the mixer to be packed into the warehouse. 5 The following table shows the number and types of production lines, the types of products produced and the production capacity as of the date of this report: Facility Production Lines Product Portfolio Capacity Xianning Bozhuang There are six production lines: the production line of cyan brick tea with traditional handicraft; the production line of cyan brick tea; the production line of teabag; the production line of green tea and the production line of black tea Cyan brick tea, black tea and green tea Production line with 5,020 tons of production capacity Jingshan Sanhe Luckysky There are two production lines: the production line of ethanol fuel and the production line of fuel additive Alcohol based clean fuel, liquid wax, arene and biomass fuel Two production lines with a total production capacity of 300,000 tons/ year for ethanol fuel, and 3000 tons/year for fuel additive Jilin Chuangyuan The company has two formaldehyde production lines, eight rubber production units, one methylal production line and one clean fuel oil production line Formaldehyde, urea formaldehyde adhesive, methylal and clean fuel oil Annual production capacity of 120,000 tons of formaldehyde, 100,000 tons of urea formaldehyde glue, 3,0000 tons of methylal and 20,000 tons of clean fuel oil Anhui Ansheng Cryogenic Liquid Storage Tank, Microbulk Solutions for IG –Pama, Medical oxygen integrated air supply station, Microbulk Solutions for LNG -Pama, Integrated LNG Supply Staion-AYS, Vaporizer for industrial gases and LNGL-CNG filling station, Container LNG filling station, Gas supply station design and installation Provided more than 1,000 sets of IG and LNG equipment’s and installation services for customers We operate our production lines year-round.

However, the Company has incurred a net loss of $9,740,486 attributable to common shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $94,072,383, a working capital deficit of $7,075,320, and its net cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $519,396 The Company plans to continue its expansion and investments, which will require continued improvements in revenue, net income and cash flows. Results of Operations The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the company’s audited consolidated financial statement for the years ended December 31, 2021, and 2020 and related notes to that. Twelve months ended Increase / Increase / December 31, Decrease Decrease (In Thousands of USD) 2021 2020 ($) (%) Net revenues 37,768 3,639 34,129 938 Cost of revenues 33,922 2,370 31,552 1,331 Gross profit 3,846 1,269 2,577 203 Operating expenses: Selling and marketing expenses 2,053 160 1,893 1,183 General and administrative expenses 7,221 3,896 3,325 85 Research & Developing expenses 808 - 808 N/A Operating income (loss) (6,236 ) (2,787 ) (3,449 ) 124 Interest income (expense) (645 ) (23 ) (622 ) 2,656 Other income (expense) 210 27 183 670 Impairment of goodwill (3,263 ) (2,340 ) (923 ) 39 Write off receivables from disposal of former subsidiaries - (6,079 ) 6,079 (100 ) (Loss) income before tax (9,934 ) (11,202 ) 1,268 (11 ) Loss on disposal - 151 (151 ) (100 ) Income tax expense/(income) (56 ) - (56 ) N/A Income (loss) from continuing operations - (11,202 ) 11,202 (100 ) Net income(loss)from discontinuing operations - 151 (151 ) N/A Net (loss) income (9,990 ) (11,051 ) 1,061 (10 ) 12 Net Revenues . Our net revenues for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021 amounted to $37.77 million, which represents an increase of approximately $34.13 million, or 938%, from $3.64 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020. This increase was attributable to the acquisition of certain subsidiaries and VIEs. Cost of Revenues. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, we experienced an increase in cost of revenue of $31.6 million or 1331%, in comparison to the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, from approximately $2.37 million to $33.9 million. This increase was mainly due to the acquisition of certain subsidiaries and VIEs. Gross Profit. Our gross profit increased by $2.58 million, or 203% to $3.85 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021 from $1.27 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020. This increase was mainly attributable to the acquisition of certain subsidiaries and VIEs. Operating Expenses Selling and Marketing Expenses. Our selling and marketing expenses increased by $1.89 million, or 1183%, to $2.05 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021 from $0.16 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020. This increase was mainly due to our effort to expand our business. General and Administrative Expenses. We experienced an increase in general and administrative expense of $3.33 million from $3.90 million to approximately $7.22 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, compared to the twelve months ended December 31, 2020. This cost increase was mainly due to the increase of the professional service fees and expenses incurred by the newly acquired business operation. Net Loss Our net loss decreased by $1.06 million, or 10%, to a net loss of $9.99 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021 from $11.05 million in net loss for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020. This decrease was mainly due to our effort to expand our business. Liquidity and Capital Resources In assessing our liquidity, we monitor and analyze our cash-on-hand and operating and capital expenditure commitments. Our liquidity needs meet our working capital requirements, operating expenses, and capital expenditure obligations. In the reporting period in the fiscal year 2021, our primary sources of financing have been cash generated from operations and private placements. As of December 31, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents (including restricted cash) of $1.13 million compared to $3.42 million as of December 31, 2020. The debt to assets ratio was 40.41% and 16.65% as of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. We expect to continue to finance our operations and working capital needs in 2021 from cash generated from operations and, if needed, private financings. Suppose available liquidity is insufficient to meet our operating and loan obligations as they come due. In that case, our plans include pursuing alternative financing arrangements or reducing expenditures as necessary to meet our cash requirements. However, there is no assurance that we will raise additional capital or reduce discretionary spending to provide liquidity if needed. We cannot be sure of the availability or terms of any alternative financing arrangements. The following table provides detailed information about our net cash flow for all financial statement periods presented in this report. 13 Cash Flows Data: For the twelve months ended December 31 (In thousands of U.S. dollars) 2021 2020 Net cash flows used in operating activities (519 ) (3,499 ) Net cash flows used in investing activities (11,814 ) (853 ) Net cash flows provided by financing activities 8,932 238 Operating Activities For the year ended December 31, 2021, net cash used in operating activities was $0.52 million, which consisted primarily of net loss of $9.99 million, and was adjusted by depreciation and amortization of $2.45 million, impairment of goodwill of $3.23 million and share based compensation expense of $1.16 million. The Company had an increase of $4.81 million in other receivables from related parties, an increase of $1.33 million in inventories and an increase of $4.31 million in payables and other current liabilities. For the year ended December 31, 2020, net cash used in operating activities was $3.50 million, which consisted primarily of net loss of $11.10 million, and was adjusted by depreciation and amortization of $0.45 million, write off receivables of $6.08 million, impairment of goodwill of $2.34 million and exchange loss of $1.83 million. The Company had an increase of $1.53 million in accounts and other receivables, an increase of $4.07 million in prepayments and other current assets and an increase of $0.88 million in payables and other current liabilities. Investing Activities Net cash used in investing activities for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021 was $11.81 million, representing an increase of $10.96 million in net cash used in investing activities from $0.85 million for the same period of 2020. This is mainly due to the recent acquisition activities. Financing Activities Net cash provided by financing activities for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, was $8.93 million, representing an increase of $8.69 million in net cash provided by financing activities from $0.24 million for the same period of 2020. This is mainly due to the proceeds from the private placement transactions. Critical Accounting Policies The preparation of financial statements in conformity with the United States generally accepted accounting principles requires our management to make assumptions, estimates, and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements, including the notes to that, and related disclosures of commitments contingencies, if any. We consider our critical accounting policies to require the more significant judgments and estimates in preparing financial statements, including those outlined in Note 2 to the financial statements included herein. The Company has evaluated the timing and the impact of the guidance above on the financial statements. As of December 31, 2021, there were no other recently issued accounting standards not yet adopted that would or could have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements We do not have any off-balance arrangements. 14 ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK Not applicable. ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY FINANCIAL DATA The full text of our audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2020, begins on page F-1 of this annual report on Form 10-K. ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE. None. ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Disclosure Controls and Procedures We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including to our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2021. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of December 31, 2021, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting described below. Internal Controls over Financial Reporting Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based upon the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that, as of December 31, 2021, our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective. The material weakness and significant deficiency identified by our management as of December 31, 2021, relates to the ability of the Company to record transactions and provide disclosures in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). We did not have sufficient and skilled accounting personnel with an appropriate level of experience in the application of U.S. GAAP commensurate with our financial reporting requirements. For example, our staff members do not hold licenses such as Certified Public Accountant or Certified Management Accountant in the U.S., have not attended U.S. institutions for training as accountants, and have not attended extended educational programs that would provide sufficient relevant education relating to U.S. GAAP. Our staff will require substantial training to meet the demands of a U.S. public company and our staff’s understanding of the requirements of U.S. GAAP-based reporting are inadequate. Remediation Initiative We plan to provide U.S. GAAP training sessions to our accounting team. The training sessions will be organized to help our corporate accounting team gain experience in U.S. GAAP reporting and to enhance their awareness of new and emerging pronouncements with potential impact on our financial reporting. We plan to continue to recruit experienced and professional accounting and financial personnel and participate in educational seminars, tutorials, and conferences and employ more qualified accounting staff in the future. 15 Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting Other than as described above, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, there were no material changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation performed during the fiscal year covered by this annual report that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Inherent Limitations over Internal Controls. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes under U.S. GAAP. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements under U.S. GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only under authorizations of our management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could affect the financial statements. Management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect our internal controls to prevent or detect all misstatements. No matter how well designed and operated, a control system 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 such controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of internal controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of misstatements, if any, have been detected or prevented. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of controls in future periods are subject to the risk that those internal controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

AUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2021 AND 2020 (Stated in US Dollars) CONTENTS PAGES Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm F-2 Audited Consolidated Balance Sheets F-4 Audited Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss F-5 Audited Consolidated Statements of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity F-6 Audited Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows F-7 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements F-8 to F-29 F- 1 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To: The Board of Directors and Stockholders of Planet Green Holdings Corp. Opinion on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Planet Green Holdings Corp. and its subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the two-year period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the two-year period ended December 31, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company had incurred substantial losses during the year, has substantial accumulated deficit and has a working capital deficit, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plan in regards to these matters are described in Note 1. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Basis for Opinion These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our 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. Critical Audit Matters The critical audit matter communicated below is matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate. F- 2 Evaluation of the carrying value of goodwill in the Canadian and Jingshan Sanhe reporting units As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company performs a goodwill impairment test on an annual basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a reporting unit might exceed its fair value. The discount rate applied to projected cash flows is important elements used by the Company in determining the fair value of the reporting unit and the amount of goodwill impairment losses. In the last quarter of 2021, the Company performed an annual goodwill impairment test in response to the decline in current market conditions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The goodwill was determined to be impaired, and impairment losses of $3.26 million was recorded. We identified the evaluation of the discount rate applied to projected cash flows used in the assessment of the carrying value of goodwill for the reporting unit, for which such assumptions are used by the Company in the determination of goodwill impairment losses, as a critical audit matter. Specifically, the evaluation of these assumptions required the application of subjective auditor judgment because changes to these assumptions may have a substantial impact on the determination of fair value of the reporting unit. We gathered data and evidence to performed sensitivity analyses to determine the significance of the assumptions used to determine the fair value of the reporting unit, which required a higher degree of auditor judgment. Addressing the matter involved evaluating the Company’s assessment of the value of the reporting unit under the discounted cash flow method. We gathered data and evidence, performed independent analysis, and exercised professional judgment during our evaluation process. /s/ WWC, P.C. WWC, P.C.

Use of Estimates The financial statements preparation requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Management makes these estimates using the best information available when the calculations are made; however, actual results could differ materially from those estimates. F- 11 Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Investment Securities The Company classifies securities it holds for investment purposes into trading or available-for-sale. Trading securities are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term. All deposits not included in trading securities are classified as available for sale. Trading and available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value. Unrealized holding gains and losses on trading securities are included in the net income. Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of the related tax effect, on available for sale securities are excluded from net income. They are reported as a separate component of other comprehensive income until realized. Realized gains and losses from the sale of available-for-sale securities are determined on a specific identification basis. A decline in the market value of any available-for-sale security below cost that is deemed to be other-than-temporary results in a reduction in carrying amount to fair value. The impairment is charged as an expense to the statement of income and comprehensive income, and a new cost basis for the security is established. To determine whether the impairment is other-than-temporary, the Company considers whether it has the ability and intent to hold the investment until a market price recovery and believes whether evidence indicating the cost of the asset is recoverable outweighs evidence to the contrary. Evidence considered in this assessment includes the reasons for the impairment, the severity and duration of the impairment, changes in value after year-end, and forecasted performance of the investee. Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted over the life of the related available-for-sale security as an adjustment to yield using the effective-interest method. Dividend and interest income are recognized when earned. Accounts Receivables Accounts receivables are recognized and carried at the original invoice amount less allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An estimate for doubtful accounts is made when the collection of the total amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written off as incurred. Inventories Inventories consist of raw materials and finished goods, stated at the lower of cost or market value. Finished goods are comprised of direct materials, direct labor, inbound shipping costs, and allocated overhead. The Company applies the weighted average cost method to its inventory. Advances and Prepayments to Suppliers The Company makes an advance payment to suppliers and vendors for the procurement of raw materials. Upon physical receipt and inspection of the raw materials from suppliers, the applicable amount is reclassified from advances and prepayments to suppliers to inventory. Plant and Equipment Plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. The Company typically applies a salvage value of 0 % to 10 %. The estimated useful lives of the plant and equipment are as follows: Buildings 20 - 40 years Landscaping, plant, and tree 30 years Machinery and equipment 1 - 10 years Motor vehicles 5 - 10 years Office equipment 5 - 20 years The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired are eliminated from the accounts, and any gain or loss is included in the Company’s results of operations. The costs of maintenance and repairs are recognized as incurred; significant renewals and betterments are capitalized. F- 12 Intangible Assets Intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is provided over their useful lives, using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives of the intangible assets are as follows: Land use rights 50 years Software licenses 2 years Trademarks 10 years Construction in Progress and Prepayments for Equipment Construction in progress and prepayments for equipment represent direct and indirect acquisition and construction costs for plants and fees of purchase and installation of related equipment. Amounts classified as construction in progress and prepayments for equipment are transferred to plant and equipment when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the assets for their intended use are completed. Depreciation is not provided for assets classified in this account. Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired in a business combination. The Company conducts an annual assessment of its goodwill for impairment. If the carrying value of its goodwill exceeds its fair value, then impairment has been incurred; accordingly, a charge to the Company’s operations results will be recognized during the period. Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed. Fair value is generally determined using a discounted expected future cash flow analysis. Accounting for the Impairment of Long-lived Assets The Company annually reviews its long-lived assets for impairment or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. Impairment may become obsolete from a difference in the industry, introduction of new technologies, or if the Company has inadequate working capital to utilize the long-lived assets to generate adequate profits. Impairment is present if the carrying amount of an asset is less than its expected future undiscounted cash flows. If an asset is considered impaired, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of are reported lower the carrying amount or fair value fewer costs to selling. Statutory Reserves Statutory reserves refer to the amount appropriated from the net income following laws or regulations, which can be used to recover losses and increase capital, as approved, and are to be used to expand production or operations. PRC laws prescribe that an enterprise operating at a profit must appropriate and reserve, on an annual basis, an amount equal to 10 % of its profit. Such an appropriation is necessary until the reserve reaches a maximum equal to 50 % of the enterprise’s PRC registered capital. Foreign Currency Translation The accompanying financial statements are presented in United States dollars. The functional currency of the Company is the Renminbi (RMB). The Company’s assets and liabilities are translated into United States dollars from RMB at year-end exchange rates. Its revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate during the period. Capital accounts are translated at their historical exchange rates when the capital transactions occurred. 12/31/2021 12/31/2020 Period-end US$: CDN$ exchange rate 1.274 1.2754 Period-end US$: RMB exchange rate 6.3757 6.5326 Period average US$: CDN$ exchange rate 1.2531 1.3409 Period average US$: RMB exchange rate 6.4515 6.8996 The RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currencies, and all foreign exchange transactions must be conducted through authorized financial institutions. Revenue Recognition The Company adopted ASC 606 “Revenue Recognition.” It recognizes revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. F- 13 The Company derives its revenues from selling explosion-proof skid-mounted refueling device, SF double-layer buried oil storage tank, high-grade synthetic fuel products, industrial formaldehyde solution, urea-formaldehyde pre-condensate (UFC), methylal, urea-formaldehyde glue for environment-friendly artificial board chemicals, food products like frozen fruits, beef & mutton products and vegetables and tea products. The Company applies the following five steps to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as it fulfills its obligations under each of its agreements: ● identify the contract with a customer; ● identify the performance obligations in the contract; ● determine the transaction price; ● allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and; ● Recognize revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied. Advertising All advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Shipping and Handling All outbound shipping and handling costs are expensed as incurred. Research and Development All research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Retirement Benefits Retirement benefits in the form of mandatory government-sponsored defined contribution plans are charged to either expense as incurred or allocated to inventory as part of overhead. Stock-Based Compensation The Company records stock compensation expense for employees at fair value on the grant date and recognizes the expense one time because there is no employee’s requisite service period requirement. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income tax using an asset and liability approach and recognizes deferred tax benefits in future years. Under the asset and liability approach, deferred taxes are provided for the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets. If it is more likely than not, these items will either expire before the Company can realize their benefits or uncertain future realization. F- 14 Comprehensive Income The Company uses Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC Topic 220, “Reporting Comprehensive Income.” Comprehensive income is comprised of net income and all changes to the statements of stockholders’ equity, except the changes in paid-in capital and distributions to stockholders due to investments by stockholders. Earnings Per Share The Company computes earnings per share (“EPS”) following ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per share.” Basic EPS is measured as the income or loss available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS presents the dilutive effect on a per-share basis from the potential conversion of convertible securities or the exercise of options and or warrants; the dilutive impacts of potentially convertible securities are calculated using the as-if method; the potentially dilutive effect of options or warranties are computed using the treasury stock method. Potentially anti-dilutive securities (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from diluted EPS calculation. Financial Instruments The Company’s financial instruments, including cash and equivalents, accounts and other receivables, accounts and other payables, accrued liabilities, and short-term debt, have carrying amounts that approximate their fair values due to their short maturities. ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” requires disclosing the Company’s fair value of financial instruments. ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments,” defines fair value and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for receivables and current liabilities qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of their fair values because of the short period between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows: ● Level 1 - inputs to the valuation methodology used quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. ● Level 2 - inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and information that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the financial instrument’s full term. ● Level 3 - inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity,” and ASC 815. Lease Effective December 31, 2018, Jingshan Sanhe Luckysky New Energy Technologies Co., Ltd. adopted ASU 2016-02, “Leases” (Topic 842), and elected the practical expedients that do 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. 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 it includes the associated operating lease payments in the undiscounted future pre-tax cash flows. As of December 31, 2021, there were approximately $ 0.58 million right of use (“ROU”) assets and approximately $ 0.44 million lease liabilities based on the present value of the future minimum rental payments of leases, using an incremental borrowing rate of 4.75 % and 4.90 % based on the duration of lease terms. F- 15 Commitments and Contingencies From time to time, the Company is a party to various legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. The majority of these claims and proceedings related to or arise from commercial disputes. The Company first determine whether a loss from a claim is probable, and if it is reasonable to estimate the potential loss. The Company accrues costs associated with these matters when they become probable, and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred. Also, the Company disclose a range of possible losses, if a loss from a claim is probable but the amount of loss cannot be reasonably estimated, which is in line with the applicable requirements of Accounting Standard Codification 450. The Company’s management does not expect any liability from the disposition of such claims and litigation individually or in the aggregate would have a material adverse impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The amendments in this Update affect any entity required to apply the provisions of Topic 220, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income, and has items of other comprehensive income for which the related tax effects are presented in other comprehensive income required by GAAP. The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the amendments in this Update is permitted, including adoption in any interim period, (1) for public business entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued, and (2) for all other entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not however been made available for issuance. The amendments in this Update should be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period (or periods) in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is recognized. The Company does not believe the adoption of this ASU would affect the Company’s financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “ Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), – Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement ,” which makes several changes meant to add, modify or remove specific disclosure requirements associated with the movement amongst or hierarchy associated with Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 fair value measurements. The amendments in this Update modify the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements based on the concepts in FASB Concepts Statement, Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting—Chapter 8: Notes to Financial Statements, including the consideration of costs and benefits. The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. The modifications are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not believe the adoption of this ASU would have a material effect on the Company’s condensed financial statements. 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 balance sheets, statements of income, and comprehensive income and statements of cash flows. 3. Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) 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. If any, the variable interest holder with a controlling financial interest in a VIE is deemed the primary beneficiary and must consolidate the VIE. PLAG WOFE is deemed to have the controlling financial interest and be the primary beneficiary of Anhui Ansheng Petrochemical Equipment Co., Ltd and Jilin Chuangyuan Chemical Co., Ltd because it has both of the following characteristics: 1) The power to direct activities at Anhui Ansheng Petrochemical Equipment Co., Ltd and Jilin Chuangyuan Chemical Co., Ltd that most significantly impact such entity’s economic performance, and 2) The obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive benefits from Anhui Ansheng Petrochemical Equipment Co., Ltd and Jilin Chuangyuan Chemical Co., Ltd that could potentially be significant to such entity. Under the Contractual Arrangements, Anhui Ansheng Petrochemical Equipment Co., Ltd and Jilin Chuangyuan Chemical Co., Ltd pay service fees equal to all of its net income to PLAG WFOE. At the same time, PLAG WFOE is obligated to absorb all of the Anhui Ansheng Petrochemical Equipment Co., Ltd’s and Jilin Chuangyuan Chemical Co., Ltd’s losses. The Contractual Arrangements are designed to operate Anhui Ansheng Petrochemical Equipment Co., Ltd and Jilin Chuangyuan Chemical Co., Ltd for the benefit of PLAG WFOE and ultimately, the Company. Accordingly, the accounts of Anhui Ansheng Petrochemical Equipment Co., Ltd and Jilin Chuangyuan Chemical Co., Ltd are consolidated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. In addition, those financial positions and results of operations are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
