Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should
be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report.
The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties about our business and operations. Our
actual results and the timing of selected events may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a
result of various factors, including those we describe under Item 1A. Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Annual Report. See “Special
Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”
Overview
We were originally incorporated
under the laws of the state of Nevada in August 1992. On October 9, 2020, we entered into the Share Exchange Agreement with BVI Wetouch
and all the shareholders of BVI Wetouch, to acquire all the issued and outstanding capital stock of BVI Wetouch in exchange for the issuance
to such shareholders an aggregate of 28 million shares of our common stock. The Reverse Merger closed on October 9, 2020. As a result
of the Reverse Merger, BVI Wetouch became our wholly-owned subsidiary.
Through
our wholly-owned subsidiaries, BVI Wetouch, HK Wetouch, and Sichuan Vtouch, we are engaged in the research, development, manufacturing,
sales and servicing of medium to large sized projected capacitive touchscreens. We are specialized in large-format touchscreens, which
are developed and designed for a wide variety of markets and used in by the financial terminals, automotive, POS, gaming, lottery, medical,
HMI, and other specialized industries. Our product portfolio comprises medium to large sized projected capacitive touchscreens ranging
from 7.0 inch to 42 inch screens.
We generate revenues through
sales of our various touchscreen products. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we recognized approximately $45.1 million and
$42.3 million, respectively, in total revenues.
We sell our touchscreen products
both domestically in China and internationally, covering major areas in Mainland China, including but not limited to the eastern, southern,
northern and southwest regions of Mainland China, Taiwan, South Korea, and Germany. We believe that we have established a strong and diversified
client base. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, our domestic sales accounted for approximately 68.5% and 64.7%, respectively,
of our revenues, and our international sales accounted for approximately 31.5% and 35.3%, respectively, of our revenues.
Construction of our new facility
We
have been actively engaged in the construction of our new production facilities and office buildings in Chengdu Medicine City (Technology
Park), Wenjiang District, Chengdu, Sichuan Province, People’s Republic of China since the summer of 2023. The Company has planned
to increase the scope of facility construction by adding a touch machine construction area. Due to the delayed supply of construction
materials, the project has been progressed slowly than expected.
As of the date of this Annual
Report, the Company estimated the construction to be completed by the first half of 2027 and commence production by the end of 2027. The
total capital requirements for the new facility construction totaled approximately $14.4 million and $13.3 million have been recorded
in the construction in progress as of December 31, 2025. The Company primarily fund the project with our existing cash on hand and cash
flows generated from operations, and we may seek additional financing if needed to support the timely completion of the project.

PRC Domestic Market
For the year ended December
31, 2025, revenue from the PRC domestic market increased by $3.6 million or 13.1%, as a combined result of (i) an increase of 13.7%
in sales volume, particularly in medical touchscreens, multi-functional printer touchscreens, industrial control computer touchscreens,
automotive touchscreens, POS touchscreens and POS touchscreens, (ii) 0.1% positive impact from exchange rate due to appreciation of RMB
against US dollars partially offset by (iii) a decrease of 0.6% in the average RMB selling price of our products in the domestic market,
and (iii), compared with those of the same period in 2024.
As for the RMB selling price,
the decrease of 0.6% was mainly due to the lower demand of higher selling priced products of touchscreen machines in the PRC domestic
market, including the decreased average RMB selling price of 4.9% in medical touchscreens and 1.7% in automotive touchscreens, partially
offset by the increased average RMB selling price of 7.0% in POS touchscreens during the year ended December 31, 2025.
The Company has taken proactive
efforts to market new models and efforts to obtain new customers in existing markets, our sales increased by 9.7% in South China, and

ended December 31, 2025, revenues from overseas market was $14.2 million as compared to $14.9 million of the same period of 2024, representing
a decrease by $0.7 million, or 4.9%, mainly due to i) a decrease of 6.0% in sales volume due to decreased sales in gaming touchscreens
and industrial control computer touchscreens, partially offset by (ii) an increase of 1.0% in average selling price in RMB, and (iii)
0.1% positive impact from exchange rate due to appreciation of RMB against US dollars, compared with those of the same period of 2024.

The Company continued to shift production mix from traditional lower-end
products such as automotive touchscreens to high-end products such as industrial control computer touchscreens, gaming touchscreens, POS
touchscreens, and multi-functional printer touchscreens, primarily due to (i) greater growth potential of computer screen models in China,
(ii) the stronger demand on higher-end touch screens made with better materials and better quality.

during the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to 32.2% for the same period of 2024, primarily due to i) an increase of 7.0% in cost
of goods sold, mainly in an increase of 3.9% in labor costs due to additional hiring of technicians, and an increase of 5.7% in costs
of materials, among which the chip cost accounted for 11.1%, and ii) sales discount of $1.2 million (accounted for 2.6% of the revenues)

assets, and $0.1 million of payroll expenses, partially offset by the decrease of $0.9 million of amortization of prepaid marketing research

Under PRC CIT Law, domestic

The Company’s PRC subsidiary Sichuan Vtouch is subject to a 25% income tax rate.
The effective income
tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 stayed at 29.5% and 30.6%, respectively.
Our PRC subsidiary
had $118.4 million of cash of December 31, 2025, which are planned to be indefinitely reinvested in our business operations in the PRC.
The distributions from our PRC subsidiary to our stockholders are subject to the U.S. federal income tax at 21%, less any applicable foreign
tax credits. Due to our policy of indefinitely reinvesting our earnings in our PRC business, we have not provided for deferred income
tax liabilities related to PRC withholding income tax on undistributed earnings of our PRC subsidiary.
Net Income
As a result of the above factors,
we had a net income of $7.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2025compared to a net income of $6.0 million in the same period of
2024.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Historically, our primary uses of cash have been
to finance working capital needs. We expect that we will be able to meet our needs to fund operations, capital expenditures and other
commitments in the next 12 months primarily with our cash and cash equivalents, operating cash flows and bank borrowings.
We may, however, require additional cash resources
due to changes in business conditions or other future developments. If these sources are insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements,
we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain a credit facility. The sale of additional equity or equity-linked securities
could result in additional dilution to stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations
and could result in operating and financial covenants that would restrict operations. Financing may not be available in amounts or on
terms acceptable to us, or at all.
As of December 31, 2025, we had current assets
of $126.1 million, consisting of $118.4 million in cash, $6.5 million in accounts receivable, $45,202 in inventories, and $1.2 million
in prepaid expenses and other current assets Our current liabilities as of December 31, 2025 were $3.2 million, which is comprised of
$1.1 million in accounts payable, $0.3 million in amounts due to a related party, $1.4 million in accrued expenses and other current liabilities. and
$0.5 million in operating lease liabilities, current portion.

Holding Company Structure
Wetouch is a holding company
incorporated in Nevada with no material operations of its own. We conduct substantially all of our operations through our subsidiary established
in mainland China. Our equity structure is a direct holding structure, that is, Wetouch, a Nevada corporation listed in the U.S., controls
Sichuan Vtouch though BVI Wetouch. See “Item 1. Business – Corporate History and Structure ” for more details.
We face various risks and
uncertainties relating to doing business in China. Our business operations are primarily conducted in China, and we are subject to complex
and evolving PRC laws and regulations. For example, we face risks associated with regulatory approvals on offshore offerings, anti-monopoly
regulatory actions, and oversight on cybersecurity and data privacy, which may impact our ability to conduct certain businesses, accept
foreign investments, or list and conduct offerings on a United States or other foreign exchange. These risks could result in a material
adverse change in our operations and the value of our common stock, significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to continue to
offer securities to investors, or cause the value of such securities to significantly decline. For a detailed description of risks relating
to doing business in China, see “ Item 1.A. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Doing Business in China .”
The PRC government’s
significant discretion and authority in regulating our operations and its oversight and control over offerings conducted overseas by,
and foreign investment in, China-based issuers could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer
securities to investors. Implementation of industry-wide regulations in this nature may cause the value of our securities to significantly
decline or become worthless. For more details, see “ Item 1.A. Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Doing Business in China—
Changes in China’s economic, political or social conditions or government policies could have a material adverse effect on our business
and operations. The PRC government has recently indicated an intent to exert more oversight and control over overseas securities offerings
and other capital markets activities and foreign investment in China-based companies like us. Any such action, once taken by the PRC government,
could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of
such securities to significantly decline or in extreme cases, become worthless .”
59
Risks and uncertainties arising
from the legal system in China, including risks and uncertainties regarding the enforcement of laws and quickly evolving rules and regulations
in China, could result in a material adverse change in our operations and cause our Common Stock to decrease in value or become worthless.
For more details, see “ Item 1.A. Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Doing Business in China— Uncertainties with respect
to the PRC legal system, including uncertainties regarding the enforcement of laws and sudden and unexpected changes in laws and regulations
in China, could adversely affect us and limit the legal protections available to you and us .”
Cash and Other Assets Transfers between the
Holding Company and Its Subsidiaries
As of March 31, 2026, Wetouch made cumulative capital contributions
of RMB348.0 million (US$ 49.8 million) to its
PRC subsidiary through intermediate holding companies and were accounted as long-term investments of Wetouch. As of the date of this Annual
Report, these funds have been used by the Company’s PRC subsidiary for its operations.
To date, there have not been
any dividends or other distributions from our PRC subsidiary to Wetouch. Wetouch, as a holding company, may rely on dividends and other
distributions on equity paid by its PRC subsidiary for its cash and financing requirements, including the funds necessary to pay dividends
and other cash distributions to its stockholders, subject to Wetouch’s charter and Nevada law, or to service any expenses and other
obligations it may incur.
Within our direct holding
structure, the cross-border transfer of funds from Wetouch to its PRC subsidiary is permitted under laws and regulations of the PRC currently
in effect. Specifically, Wetouch is permitted to provide funding to its PRC subsidiary in the form of shareholder loans or capital contributions,
subject to satisfaction of applicable government registration, approval and filing requirements in China. There are no quantity limits
on Wetouch’s ability to make capital contributions to its PRC subsidiary under the PRC law and regulations. However, the PRC subsidiary
may only procure stockholder loans from HK Wetouch in an amount equal to the difference between its registered capital and total investment
amount as recorded in the Chinese Foreign Investment Comprehensive Management Information System or 2.5 times of its net assets, at the
discretion of such PRC subsidiary. For additional information, see “ Item 1.A. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Doing Business
in China —PRC regulation of loans to and direct investment in PRC entities by offshore holding companies and governmental control
of currency conversion may delay or prevent us from using the proceeds of any offerings or financings to make loans or additional capital
contributions to our Chinese subsidiaries, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand
our business .”
The PRC Enterprise Income
Tax Law (the “EIT Law”) and its implementation rules provide that a withholding tax at a rate of 10% will be applicable to
dividends payable by PRC companies to non-PRC-resident enterprises unless reduced under treaties or arrangements between the PRC central
government and the governments of other countries or regions where the non-PRC resident enterprises are tax resident. Pursuant to the
tax agreement between mainland China and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, the withholding tax rate in respect to the payment
of dividends by a PRC enterprise to a Hong Kong enterprise may be reduced to 5% from a standard rate of 10%. However, if the relevant
tax authorities determine that our transactions or arrangements are for the primary purpose of enjoying a favorable tax treatment, the
relevant tax authorities may adjust the favorable withholding tax in the future. Accordingly, there is no assurance that the reduced 5%
withholding rate will apply to dividends received by our Hong Kong subsidiary from our PRC subsidiaries. This withholding tax will reduce
the amount of dividends we may receive from our PRC subsidiaries.
There is no assurance that
the PRC government will not intervene or impose restrictions on the ability of us or our subsidiary to transfer cash. Most of our cash
is in Renminbi, and the PRC government could prevent the cash maintained in our bank accounts in mainland China from leaving mainland
China, could restrict deployment of the cash into the business of our subsidiaries and restrict the ability to pay dividends. For details
regarding the restrictions on our ability to transfer cash between us, and our subsidiaries, see “ Item 1A. Risk Factors—Risks
Related to Doing Business in China — Governmental control of currency conversion may limit our ability to utilize our revenues effectively
and affect the value of your investment .” We currently do not have cash management policies that dictate how funds are transferred
between our holding company and our subsidiaries.
60
Restrictions on Our Ability to Transfer Cash
Out of China and to U.S. Investors
Our PRC subsidiary’s
ability to distribute dividends is based upon its distributable earnings. Current PRC regulations permit our PRC subsidiary to pay dividends
to its shareholders only out of its accumulated profits, if any, as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations.
In addition, under PRC law, our PRC subsidiary is required to set aside at least 10% of its after-tax profits each year, if any, to fund
certain statutory reserve funds until such reserve funds reach 50% of its registered capital. These reserves are not distributable as
cash dividends. If our PRC subsidiary incurs debt on its own behalf in the future, the instruments governing such debt may restrict its
ability to pay dividends to Wetouch.
To address persistent capital
outflows and the RMB’s depreciation against the U.S. dollar in the fourth quarter of 2016, the People’s Bank of China and
the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or SAFE, implemented a series of capital control measures in the subsequent months, including
stricter vetting procedures for China-based companies to remit foreign currency for overseas acquisitions, dividend payments and shareholder
loan repayments. The PRC government may continue to strengthen its capital controls and our PRC subsidiary’s dividends and other
distributions may be subject to tightened scrutiny in the future. The PRC government also imposes controls on the conversion of RMB into
foreign currencies and the remittance of currencies out of mainland China. Therefore, we may experience difficulties in completing the
administrative procedures necessary to obtain and remit foreign currency for the payment of dividends from our profits, if any.
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal Proceedings
From time to time, the Company
is a party to various legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. 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.
Capital Expenditure
Commitment
As of December
31, 2025, the Company had commitment of RMB7.3 million (equivalent to $1.05 million) for construction in progress.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We had no off- balance
sheet arrangements as of December 31, 2025.
Critical Accounting
Policies
An accounting policy is considered
critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time such
estimate is made, and if different accounting estimates that reasonably could have been used, or changes in the accounting estimates that
are reasonably likely to occur periodically, could materially impact the consolidated financial statements.
We prepare our financial statements
in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which requires us to make judgments, estimates and assumptions. We continually evaluate these estimates
and assumptions based on the most recently available information, our own historical experiences and various other assumptions that we
believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Since the use of estimates is an integral component of the financial reporting process,
actual results could differ from our expectations as a result of changes in our estimates. Some of our accounting policies require a higher
degree of judgment than others in their application and require us to make significant accounting estimates.
The following descriptions
of critical accounting policies, judgments and estimates should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and
accompanying notes and other disclosures included in this registration statement. When reviewing our financial statements, you should
consider (i) our selection of critical accounting policies, (ii) the judgments and other
uncertainties affecting the application of such policies and (iii) the sensitivity of reported results to changes in conditions and assumptions.
61
Revenue recognition
The Company adopted Accounting
Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606 using the modified retrospective approach. The adoption
of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Therefore, no adjustments to
opening retained earnings were necessary.
ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts
with customers, establishes principles for reporting information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash
flows arising from the entity’s contracts to provide goods or services to customers .
The core principle requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that
reflects the consideration that it expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services recognized as performance
obligations are satisfied.
ASC 606 requires the use of
a five-step model to recognize revenue from customer contracts. The five-step model requires that the Company
(i) identify the contract with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction
price, including variable consideration to the extent that it is probable that a significant future reversal will not occur, (iv) allocate
the transaction price to the respective performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies
the performance obligation. The application of the five-step model to the revenue streams compared to the prior guidance did not result
in significant changes in the way the Company records its revenue. The Company has assessed the impact of the guidance by reviewing its
existing customer contracts and current accounting policies and practices to identify differences that would result from applying the
new requirements, including the evaluation of its performance obligations, transaction price, customer payments, transfer of control and
principal versus agent considerations. Based on the assessment, the Company concluded that there was no change to the timing and pattern
of revenue recognition for its current revenue streams.
In accordance to ASC 606,
the Company recognizes revenue when it transfers its goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which
the Company expects to be entitled in such exchange. The Company accounts for the revenue generated from sales of its products primarily
to its customers in PRC and overseas, as the Company is acting as a principal in these transactions, is subject to inventory risk, has
latitude in establishing prices, and is responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide customers the specified goods, which the Company
has control of the goods and has the ability to direct the use of goods to obtain substantially all the benefits. All of the Company’s
contracts have one single performance obligation as the promise is to transfer the individual
goods to customers, and there is no separately identifiable other promises in the contracts. The Company’s revenue streams are recognized
at a point in time when title and risk of loss passes and the customer accepts the goods, which generally occurs at delivery. The Company’s
products are sold with no right of return and the Company does not provide other credits or sales incentive to customers. The Company’s
sales are net of value added tax (“VAT”) and business tax and surcharges collected on behalf of tax authorities in respect
of product sales.
Contract Assets and
Liabilities
Payment terms are established
on the Company’s pre-established credit requirements based upon an evaluation of customers’ credit quality. Contract assets
are recognized for in related accounts receivable. Contract liabilities are recognized for contracts where payment has been received in
advance of delivery. The contract liability balance can vary significantly depending on the
timing when an order is placed and when shipment or delivery occurs. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, other than accounts receivable
and advances from customers, the Company had no other material contract assets, contract liabilities or deferred contract costs recorded
on its consolidated balance sheet. Costs of fulfilling customers’ purchase orders, such as shipping, handling and delivery, which
occur prior to the transfer of control, are recognized in selling, general and administrative expense when incurred.
The Company generally
warrants that its products will substantially conform to the agreed-upon specifications for three years from the date of shipment. The
Company’s liability is limited to either a credit equal to the purchase price or replacement of the defective part. Returns, after
sales services and technical support under warranty have historically been immaterial. As such, the Company does not record a specific
warranty reserve or consider activities related to such warranty, if any, to be a separate performance obligation.
62
Disaggregation of
Revenues
The Company disaggregates
its revenue from contracts by geography, as the Company believes it best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of the
revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. The Company’s disaggregation
of revenues for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 are disclosed in Note 16 to the financial statements.
Use of estimates
In preparing the consolidated
financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”),
management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are based on information as of the date of the consolidated financial statements.
Significant estimates required to be made by management include, but are not limited to, the allowance for estimated uncollectible receivables,
inventory valuations, useful lives of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, operating lease, the recoverability of long-lived
assets, provision necessary for contingent liabilities, revenue recognition and realization of deferred tax assets. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
Inventories
Inventory consists of raw
materials, work-in-process and finished goods and is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using a weighted
average. For work-in-process and manufactured inventories, cost consists of raw materials, direct labor and an allocated portion of the
Company’s production overhead. The Company writes down excess and obsolete inventory to its estimated net realizable value based
upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. For finished goods and work-in-process, if the estimated net realizable value
for an inventory item, which is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predicable costs to completion
and disposal, is lower than its cost, the specific inventory item is written down to its estimated net realizable value. Net realizable
value for raw materials is based on replacement cost. Provisions for inventory write-downs are included in the cost of revenues in the
consolidated statements of operations. Inventories are carried at this lower cost basis until sold or scrapped. Reversal of obsolete inventory
and write-off inventory were $36,971 and $54,873 were recorded for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Convertible Promissory
Notes
The Company accounts for its
convertible promissory notes according to guidance of ASU 2020-06, “Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic
470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging— Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments
and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity”, which simplifies the accounting for
convertible instruments by eliminating the requirement to separate embedded conversion features from the host contract when the conversion
features are not required to be accounted for as derivatives under Topic 815.
The Company analyzes the convertible
notes for the existence of a beneficial conversion feature. The Company considered the three
characteristics of a derivative instrument listed in ASC 815-10-15-83: (i) having one or more underlyings and one or more notional
amounts or payment provisions or both; (ii) requiring no initial net investment; and (iii) permitting net settlement.
Since the Company’s
notes have fixed interest rate, specified notional principal and settlement date, which no other events would affect specified
settlement, and the Company received net proceeds after issuance costs and discount, which the Company recorded as the net proceeds or
net settled investment, the management assessed that the Notes did not do not meet the definition of a derivative instruments and an embedded
feature would not be bifurcated. The discounts on the convertible notes, are amortized to interest expense, using the effective interest
method, over the terms of the related convertible notes.
On February 23, 2024, immediately
upon the closing of the 2024 Public Offering, the Company made a full payment to the remaining five outstanding promissory notes. (see
details in NOTE 11 – CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES PAYABLE-a) Convertible promissory notes). There were no convertible promissory
notes as of December 31, 2024.
63
Common stock purchase
warrants
The Company also analyzed
the warrants in accordance with ASC 815, to determine whether the warrants meet the definition of a derivative and, if so, whether the
warrants meet the scope exception of ASC 815-40, which is that contracts issued or held by the reporting entity that are both (1) indexed
to its own stock and (2) classified in stockholders’ equity shall not be considered to be derivative instruments for purposes of
ASC 815-40.
The Company concluded that
the Note Warrants (as defined in NOTE 11 – CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES PAYABLE – ii) Warrants) issued in October, November
and December 2021 financing should be treated as a derivative liability because the Warrants are entitled to a price adjustment provision
to allow the exercise price to be increased or reduced in the event the Company issues or sells any additional shares of common stock
at a price per share more or less than the then-applicable exercise price or without consideration, which is typically referred to as
a “Down-round protection” or “anti-dilution” provision. According to ASC 815-40, the “Down-round protection”
provision is not considered to be an input to the fair value of a fixed-for-fixed option on equity shares which leads the Warrants to
fail to be qualified as indexed to the Company’s own stock and then to fail to meet the scope exceptions of ASC 815. Therefore,
the Company accounted for the Warrants as derivative liabilities under ASC 815. Pursuant to ASC 815, derivatives are measured at fair
value and re-measured at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings at each reporting period.
The Company used a Black-Scholes-pricing
model to estimate the fair values of common stock purchase warrants at the balance sheet dates.
The Note Warrant (see details
in NOTE 11 – CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES PAYABLE-b) Note Warrant) was issued in 2021 which was valid for three years and expired
during the year ended December 31, 2024.
The Company recorded nil and
$378,371 gain on changes of fair value of common stock purchase warrant liability for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Income taxes
The Company accounts for current
income taxes in accordance with the laws of the relevant tax authorities. Deferred income taxes are recognized when temporary differences
exist between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the consolidated
financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in
the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities
of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period including the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when
necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
An uncertain tax position
is recognized only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination. 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. Penalties and interest incurred related to underpayment
of income tax are classified as income tax expense in the period incurred. No significant penalties or interest relating to income taxes
have been incurred during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. The Company believes that there were no uncertain tax positions
as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.
The Company’s operating subsidiary Sichuan Vtouch in China is
subject to the income tax laws of the PRC. No significant income was generated outside the PRC for the fiscal years ended December 31,
2025 and 2024. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, all of the Company’s tax returns of its PRC Subsidiaries remain open for statutory
examination by PRC tax authorities.
64
Property, plant and equipment, net
Property, plant and equipment
are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization of property
and equipment is provided using the straight-line method over their expected useful lives, as follows:
Useful life
Buildings
20 years
Machinery and equipment
10 years
Vehicles
4 years
Expenditures for maintenance
and repairs, which do not materially extend the useful lives of the assets, are charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures for major
renewals and betterments which substantially extend the useful life of assets are capitalized .
The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets retired or sold are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss
is recognized in the consolidated statements of income and other comprehensive income (loss) as other income or expenses.
Construction in progress,
funded by Company’s working capital, represents manufacturing facilities and office building under construction, is stated at cost
and transferred to property, plant and equipment when it is substantially ready for its intended use. No depreciation is recorded for
construction in progress. The management estimate that construction in progress for our new facilities will be completed by the first
half of 2027 and will transfer construction in progress to property, plant and equipment to start depreciation.
Land use right, net
A land use right in the PRC
represents an exclusive right to occupy, use and develop a piece of land during the contractual term of the land use right. Land use right
is usually paid in one lump sum at the date the right is granted or at the date of the prepayment pursuant to the land use right transfer
contract with the local government. The prepayment usually covers the entire duration period of the land use right. The lump sum advance
payment is capitalized and recorded as land use right and then charged to expense on a straight-line basis over the period of the right.
On August 6, 2021, Sichuan
Vtouch entered into a contract with Chengdu Wenjiang District Planning and Natural Resources Bureau (“Wenjiang Bureau”) for
the purchase of a land use right of a parcel of land of 131,010 square feet (12,171. 28 square meters) for a consideration of RMB3,925,234
(equivalent to $561,301) for the Company’s new facility. The Company paid the consideration in full by November 18, 2021 and recorded
in the prepayment.
Pursuant to the contract,
Sichuan Vtouch will construct a new facility on this parcel according to the specifications. Once the Project is fully completed, Wenjiang
Bureau shall transfer the title of land use right to Sichuan Vtouch for 20 years.
The Company’s new facility
started in August 2021 yet was delayed and suspended due to the outbreak of Covid-19 and government-ordered shutdowns in China. The Company
has rescheduled and extended the completion by first half of 2027 with the production at the new facilities will commencing by the end
of 2027.
During the years ended December
31, 2025, management assessed the probability of the obtaining the land use right upon the completion of the new facility, reclassified
prepayment of RMB3,925,234 (equivalent to $561,301) to land use right, started the amortization by a useful life of approximately 16 years.
The amortization expense of
land use rights was US$16,718 for the years ended December 31, 2025, and included in general and administrative expenses.
65
Fair value measurement
Fair value is the price that
would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement
date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the
Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and it considers assumptions that market participants
would use when pricing the asset or liability.
Authoritative literature provides
a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when
measuring fair value. An asset or liability categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that
is significant to the fair value measurement as follows:
Level 1
Level 1 applies to assets
or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2
Level 2 applies to assets
or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the assets or liabilities
such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets
with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are
observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
Level 3
Level 3 applies to assets
or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair
value of the assets or liabilities.
Accounting guidance also describes
three main approaches to measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities: (1) market approach; (2) income approach and (3) cost approach.
The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated from market transactions involving identical or comparable assets
or liabilities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present value amount. The measurement
is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. The cost approach is based on the amount that
would currently be required to replace an asset.
When available,
the Company uses quoted market prices to determine the fair value of an asset or liability. If quoted market prices are not available,
the Company will measure fair value using valuation techniques that use, when possible, current market-based or independently sourced
market parameters, such as interest rates and currency rates.
Impairment of
long-lived Assets
Long-lived assets, such as
property, plant and equipment, land use rights, are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of a long-lived asset or asset group to be held and used is measured
by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset or asset group to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated
by the asset or asset group. If the carrying value of an asset or asset group exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an
impairment charge is recognized by the amount that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset or asset group. Fair
value is determined through various valuation techniques including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values and third party independent
appraisals, as considered necessary. Assets to be disposed are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell,
and are no longer depreciated. There was $175,426 and nil impairment of construction in progress recognized for the years ended December
31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
66
Lease
The Company adopts ASU No.
2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”) for all periods presented. The Company elects the short-term lease exemption for
all contracts with lease terms of 12 months or less.
Under the guidance of AUS
2016-02, an entity is required to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on its balance sheet and disclose key information
about leasing arrangements.
The Company’s lease
terms include options to renew or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that it will exercise the option. The Company determines
if a contract contains a lease based on whether it has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of
an identified asset which the Company does not own and whether it has the right to direct the use of an identified asset in exchange for
consideration. Right of use (“ROU”) assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term
and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets are recognized
as the amount of the lease liability, adjusted for lease incentives received. Lease liabilities are recognized at the present value of
the future lease payments at the lease commencement date. The interest rate used to determine the present value of the future lease payments
is the Company’s incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”), because the interest rate implicit in most of the Company’s
leases is not readily determinable. The IBR is a hypothetical rate based on the Company’s understanding of what its credit rating
would be to borrow and resulting interest the Company would pay to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic
environment over the lease term on a collateralized basis. Lease payments may be fixed or variable, however, only fixed payments or in-substance
fixed payments are included in the Company’s lease liability calculation. Variable lease payments are recognized in operating expenses
in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred.
The lease right-of-use assets
are initially measured at the carrying amount of the lease liability and adjusted for any prepaid or accrued lease payments, remaining
balance of lease incentives received, unamortized initial direct costs, or impairment charges relating to the right-of-use-asset. Lease
expense for minimum lease payments exclusive of the value-added tax are recognized on straight-line basis over the lease term The new
standard provides a number of optional practical expedients at transition. The Company elected certain practical expedients that must
be elected as a package, which permit the Company to not reassess, under the new standard, prior conclusions about (1) lease identification,
(2) lease classification and (3) initial direct costs. Additionally, the Company elected a short-term lease exception policy, which allows
entities to not apply Topic 842 to short-term leases (i.e. leases with terms of 12 months or less) and a hindsight policy, which allows
an entity to include current considerations for existing leases when determining initial lease terms. The Company has also elected to
account for lease and non-lease components as a single component for all leases, and elected to utilize an IBR (incremental borrowing
rate) that is risk free rate plus premium for all leases when calculating the lease liability.
Comprehensive income
Comprehensive income (loss)
consists of two components, net income and other comprehensive income (loss). The foreign currency translation gain or loss resulting
from translation of the financial statements expressed in RMB to US$ is reported in other comprehensive income (loss) in the consolidated
statements of income and comprehensive income.
Recently issued accounting
guidance
The Company considers the
applicability and impact of all accounting standards updates (“ASUs”). Management periodically reviews new accounting standards
that are issued.
In October 2023, the FASB
issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements—codification amendments in response to SEC’s
disclosure Update and Simplification initiative which amend the disclosure or presentation requirements of codification subtopic 230-10
Statement of Cash Flows—Overall, 250-10 Accounting Changes and Error Corrections—Overall, 260-10 Earnings Per Share—Overall,
270-10 Interim Reporting—Overall, 440-10 Commitments—Overall, 470-10 Debt—Overall, 505-10 Equity—Overall, 815-10
Derivatives and Hedging—Overall, 860-30 Transfers and Servicing—Secured Borrowing and Collateral, 932-235 Extractive Activities—Oil
and Gas—Notes to Financial Statements, 946-20 Financial Services—Investment Companies—Investment Company Activities,
and 974-10 Real Estate—Real Estate Investment Trusts—Overall. The amendments represent changes to clarify or improve disclosure
and presentation requirements of above subtopics. Many of the amendments allow users to more easily compare entities subject to the SEC’s
existing disclosures with those entities that were not previously subject to the SEC’s requirements. Also, the amendments align
the requirements in the Codification with the SEC’s regulations. For entities subject to existing SEC disclosure requirements or
those that must provide financial statements to the SEC for securities purposes without contractual transfer restrictions, the effective
date aligns with the date when the SEC removes the related disclosure from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K. Early adoption is not allowed.
For all other entities, the amendments will be effective two years later from the date of the SEC’s removal.
67
ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes
(Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, establishes incremental disaggregation of income tax disclosures pertaining to the
effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024,
and requires prospective application with the option to apply it retrospectively. The Company adopted ASU 2023-09 beginning January 1,
2025. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB
issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation
of Income Statement Expenses,” requiring public entities to disclose additional information about specific expense categories in
the notes to the financial statements on an interim and annual basis. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 2026, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating
the impact of adopting ASU 2024-03.
Management does not believe
that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on
the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
