ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer
and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures
(as defined by Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e)) as of December 31, 2025, pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b). We concluded
that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of such date to ensure that information required to be disclosed by
us in reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act were recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time
periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that our disclosure controls are not effectively designed to ensure that information
required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated
to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as
appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management Report on Internal Control over
Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible
for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined
in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act as a process designed under the supervision of our principal executive
and principal financial officers and effected by the Company’s Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of its consolidated financial statements for external reporting
purposes in accordance with GAAP.
Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over
Financial Reporting
Management assessed the effectiveness
of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025 based on the framework established in Internal
Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment,
management determined that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025 was not effective.
A material weakness, as defined
in the standards established by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), is a deficiency, or a combination
of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement
of our annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
68
The ineffectiveness of the
Company’s internal control over financial reporting was due to the following material weaknesses:
●
(i) the lack of sufficient competent financial reporting and accounting personnel with appropriate understanding of U.S. GAAP and financial reporting requirements to design and implement key controls over financial reporting process to address complex U.S. GAAP accounting issues and related disclosures, in accordance with U.S. GAAP and SEC financial reporting requirements;
●
limited functional internal audit department or personnel that monitors the consistencies of the preventive internal control procedures as well as insufficient policies and procedures in internal audit function to ensure that our policies and procedures have been carried out as planned
Management
believes that the material weaknesses that were identified did not have an effect on our financial results. However, management believes
that these weaknesses, if not properly remediated, could result in a material misstatement in our financial statements in future periods.
Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation
of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that
the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have
inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial
statement preparation and presentation. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements
may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are
known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not
eliminate, this risk.
Management’s Plan to Remediate the Material
Weakness
Management
has been implementing and continues to implement measures designed to ensure that control deficiencies contributing to the material weakness
are remediated, such that these controls are designed, implemented, and operating effectively. The remediation actions planned include:
●
hiring more qualified accounting personnel with relevant U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting experience and qualifications to strengthen our financial reporting function and to set up a financial and system control framework;
●
appointing Ms. Xing Tang, who has extensive experience in financial reporting and internal controls, including familiarity with Nasdaq financial reporting and compliance requirements, as its Chief Financial Officer in July 2024, and who served as Chief Financial Officer of Elong Power Holdings Ltd. (Nasdaq: ELPW) from August 2013 to June 2024.
●
strengthening accounting record system with access control and financial reporting procedures, including organizing regular training for our accounting staff, especially training related to U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting requirements;
●
Continue to cooperate with operation teams to ensure a control environment in place, and monitor the effectiveness of operations on existing controls and procedures.
●
Establish procedures to assess compliance requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act of 2002 (the “ Sarbanes-Oxley Act ”) and improve overall internal control.
We are committed to maintaining
a strong internal control environment, and believe that these remediation efforts will deliver improvements in our control environment.
Our management will continue to monitor and evaluate the relevance of our risk-based approach and the effectiveness of our internal controls
and procedures over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and is committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements
or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow.
This Annual Report does not
include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding our internal control over financial reporting. Management’s
report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the SEC that exempt smaller reporting
companies from this requirement.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial
Reporting
There have been no changes
in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our fourth quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

charter also provides that the compensation committee may select, retain and terminate independent legal counsel and other experts or
consultants, as it deems appropriate, without seeking approval of the Board or management, including the authority to approve the fees
payable to such counsel, experts or consultants and any other term of retention. However, before engaging or receiving advice from a compensation
consultant, external legal counsel or any other adviser, the compensation committee will consider the independence of each such adviser,
including the factors required by Nasdaq and the SEC.
Nominating

Liu, Jing Guo and Jiaxing, Huang. Mr. Huang is the chairperson of our nominating and corporate governance committee. We have determined

Trading Policies
On April 16, 2024, we adopted
insider trading policies and procedures governing the purchase, sale, and/or other disposition of our securities by directors, officers
and employees, which are reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations, and applicable Nasdaq
listing standards (the “Insider Trading Policy”).
The foregoing description
of the Insider Trading Policy does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the Insider

74
Delinquent Section
16(a) Reports
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our executive
officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of our equity securities (“Reporting Persons”) to file
reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Based solely on our review of copies of such reports and representations from
the Reporting Persons, we believe that during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, the Reporting Persons timely filed all such reports,
except that Ms. Xing Tang, our CFO, Mr. Guangrong Cai, our Chairman, Mr. Jiaxing Huang, Mr. Guijun
Gan, Mr. Jian Feng, Ms. Yunna Liu, our directors, failed to timely file Forms 3 as officers and directors of the Company. No securities
of the Company are beneficially owned by Ms. Xing Tang, Mr. Jiaxing Huang, Mr. Guijun Gan,
Mr. Jian Feng, and Ms. Yunna Liu.

As compensation, each individual is entitled to receive a monthly confidentiality fee at a different rate. Each individual has also agreed
to hold, after the termination or expiry of his employment agreement, in strict confidence, any of our confidential information without
any extra compensation.
Each
officer has agreed to be bound by non-competition restrictions during the term of his employment and for two years following termination

employee of the Company to terminate employment with Sichuan Vtouch or its subsidiaries; and (3) directly or indirectly persuade, induce,
encourage, or cause any customers of Sichuan Vtouch to terminate the business relationship with Sichuan Vtouch or its subsidiaries.
Each
officer is obligated to pay $6,957 to $13,913 (equivalent to RMB50,000 to RMB100,000) as a penalty, together with any earnings generated
from the use or disclosure of the confidential information, to Sichuan Vtouch for violation of the confidentiality and non-competition
agreements.
76
Clawback Policy
Our board of
directors adopted a clawback policy covering our executive officers. An executive officer is our chief executive officer, president, principal
financial officer, principal accounting officer (or if there is no such accounting officer, the controller), any vice-president in charge
of a significant principal business unit, division, or function (such as sales, administration, or finance), any other officer who performs
a policy-making function, or any other person who performs similar policy-making functions for us. As of the date of this Annual Report,
our only executive officers are our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer. The clawback policy relates to incentive-based
compensation, which is any compensation that is granted, earned or vested based wholly or in part upon the attainment of a financial reporting
measure. The clawback policy covers the recovery of incentive-based compensation from an executive officer only in the event that we are
required to prepare an accounting restatement due to the material noncompliance of our financial reporting requirements under the United
States securities laws, including any required accounting restatement to correct an error in previously issued financial statements that
is material to the previously issued financial statements, or that would result in a material misstatement if the error were corrected
in the current period or left uncorrected in the current period. Questions as to “materiality” will be determined by the Compensation
Committee in coordination with the Audit Committee.
The incentive-based
compensation subject to recovery is the incentive-based compensation received during the three completed fiscal years immediately preceding
the date that we are required to prepare an accounting restatement as described above, provided that the person served as an executive
officer at any time during the performance period applicable to the incentive-based compensation in question provided that the clawback
policy shall only apply if the incentive-based compensation is received while we have a class of securities listed on Nasdaq and on or
after October 2, 2023. None of our officers’ employment agreements provide incentive-based compensation during the year ended December
31, 2025.
Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End
There are no outstanding equity awards to our executive officers as
of December 31, 2025.
Long-Term Incentive
Plans
There
are no arrangements or plans in which we provide pension, retirement or similar benefits for directors or executive officers as of December
31, 2025.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED
TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
Related Party Transactions
Since January 1, 2024, the
Company has engaged in the following related person transaction in which the amount involved exceeded the lesser of $120,000 or one percent
of the Company’s average total assets at year-end for the last two completed fiscal years, and in which a related person had a material
interest:
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had an outstanding payable
of approximately $286,311 and $149,211, respectively, due to Chengdu Wetouch Intelligent Optoelectronics Co., Ltd., an affiliate of Ms.
Jiaying Cai, a former director and secretary of the Company, and niece of Mr. Guangrong Cai. These payable were unsecured, non-interest
bearing, and due on demand.
The Company’s Audit
Committee is responsible for reviewing and approving related party transactions. Any such transaction is evaluated to ensure it is on
terms comparable to those available with unrelated third parties and in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. Other
than the transaction described above, the Company is not aware of any related person transactions since January 1, 2024, requiring disclosure
under Item 404.
Family Relationships
The only family relationship
among the Company’s directors and executive officers was that Ms. Jiaying Cai, a former Director and secretary of the Company, is
the niece of Mr. Guangrong Cai, Chairman of the Company.
Director Independence
The Board of Directors has
reviewed the independence of its members under the independence standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market (the “Nasdaq Rules”),
which the Company has adopted as its definition of independence for purposes of determining director independence generally and committee
independence specifically. The Nasdaq Rules require that a majority of the board be independent and that members of the audit, compensation,
and nominating committees meet additional independence requirements.
Based on this review, the
Board has determined that each of Jing Guo, Jiaxing Huang, and Yunna Liu qualifies as an independent director under Nasdaq Listing Rule
5605(a)(2). In addition, the Board determined that these directors meet the heightened independence standards applicable to audit committee
members under Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act and Nasdaq rules, and to compensation and nominating committee members under Nasdaq rules.
Ms. Chen also qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by SEC rules.
The remaining directors, Guangrong
Cai, Zongyi Lian, Jian Feng, are not considered independent because of their current roles as executive officers of the Company or family
relationship, as described above.

Report of Independent Registered Public
Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Wetouch Technology
Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated
balance sheets of Wetouch Technology Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the”Company”) as of December 31, 2025 and the
related consolidated statements of operation and comprehensive loss, consolidated statements of changes in shareholders ‘equity,
and consolidated statements of cash flows for the years in the period ended December 31, 2025, 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, 2025, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years
in the period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our
audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”)
and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the
standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged
to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our 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 audit included performing procedures to assess
the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond
to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below
are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to
the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our
especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there are no critical audit matters.

WETOUCH TECHNOLOGY INC. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 — BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
Wetouch Technology Inc.
(“Wetouch”, or the “Company”), formerly known as Gulf West Investment Properties, Inc., was originally incorporated
in August 1992, under the laws of the state of Nevada.
On October 9, 2020, the
Company entered into a share exchange agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with Wetouch Holding Group Limited (“BVI
Wetouch”) and all the shareholders of BVI Wetouch (each, a “BVI Shareholder” and collectively, the “BVI Shareholders”),
to acquire all the issued and outstanding capital stock of BVI Wetouch in exchange for the issuance to the BVI Shareholders an aggregate
of 28,000,000 shares ( 1,400,000 shares post-Reverse Stock Split) of the Company’s common stock (the “Reverse Merger”).
In the Reverse Merger, each ordinary share of BVI Wetouch was exchanged for 2,800 shares ( 140 shares post-Reverse Stock Split) of common
stock of Wetouch. Immediately after the closing of the Reverse Merger on October 9, 2020, the Company had a total of 31,396,394 ( 1,569,820
shares post-Reverse Stock Split) issued and outstanding shares of common stock. As a result of the Reverse Merger, BVI Wetouch became
a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
BVI Wetouch is a holding
company whose only asset, held through a subsidiary, is 100 % of the registered capital of Sichuan Wetouch Technology Co., Ltd. (“Sichuan
Wetouch”), a limited liability company organized under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“China” or
the “PRC”). Sichuan Wetouch is primarily engaged in the business of research and development, manufacture, and distribution
of touchscreen displays to customers both in the PRC and overseas. The touchscreen products, which are manufactured by the Company, are
primarily for use in financial terminals, automotive, Point of Sales, gaming, lottery, medical, Human-Machine Interface (HMI), and other
specialized industries.
The Reverse Merger was
accounted for as a recapitalization effected by a share exchange, wherein BVI Wetouch is considered the acquirer for accounting and financial
reporting purposes. The assets and liabilities of BVI Wetouch have been brought forward at their book value and no goodwill has been recognized.
The number of shares, par value amount, and additional paid-in capital in the prior years are retrospectively adjusted accordingly.
Corporate History
of BVI Wetouch
BVI Wetouch was incorporated
under the laws of British Virgin Islands on August 14, 2020. It became the holding company of Hong Kong Wetouch Electronics Technology
Limited (“Hong Kong Wetouch”) on September 11, 2020.
Hong Kong Wetouch Technology
Limited (“HK Wetouch”), was incorporated as a holding company under the laws of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (the
“SAR”) on December 3, 2020. On March 2, 2021, HK Wetouch acquired all shares of Hong Kong Wetouch. Due to the fact that Hong
Kong Wetouch and HK Wetouch are both under the same sole stockholder, the acquisition is accounted for under common control.
In June 2021, Hong Kong
Wetouch completed its dissolution process pursuant to the minutes of its special stockholder meeting.
Sichuan Wetouch was formed
on May 6, 2011 in the PRC and became a Wholly Foreign-Owned Enterprise (“WFOE”) in PRC on February 23, 2017. On July 19, 2016,
Sichuan Wetouch was 100 % held by HK Wetouch.
On December 30, 2020,
Sichuan Vtouch was incorporated in Chengdu, Sichuan, under the PRC laws.
F- 7
In March 2021, pursuant
to local PRC government guidelines on local environmental issues and the national plan, Sichuan Wetouch was under the government directed
relocation order. Sichuan Vtouch took over the operating business of Sichuan Wetouch.
On March 30, 2023, an independent third party
acquired all shares of Sichuan Wetouch for a nominal amount.
As a result of the above
restructuring, HK Wetouch became the sole stockholder of Sichuan Vtouch.
The following diagram illustrates the Company’s
current corporate structure:

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
(a) Basis of Presentation and Principles
of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”)
and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The accompanying consolidated
financial statements include the financial statements of Wetouch and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions
and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation
(b) Uses of estimates
In preparing the consolidated financial statements
in conformity with 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, fair
values of financial instruments, 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.
(c) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash includes currency on hand and deposits held
by banks that can be added or withdrawn without limitation.
(d) Accounts receivables, net
Accounts receivable primarily consists of receivables
from customers, which are recognized and carried at the original invoice amount less an allowance for credit losses.
The Company adopted ASC 326, Financial
Instruments — Credit Loss to estimate the allowance of credit losses for accounts receivable based upon the
current expected credit losses (“CECL”) model. The CECL model requires an estimate of the credit losses expected over the
life of accounts receivable since initial recognition, and accounts receivable with similar risk characteristics are grouped together
when estimating CECL. In assessing the CECL, the Company considers both quantitative and qualitative information that is reasonable and
supportable, including historical credit loss experience, adjusted for relevant factors impacting collectability and forward-looking information
indicative of external market conditions. While the Company uses the best information available in making determination, the ultimate
recovery of recorded receivables is also dependent upon future economic events and other conditions that may be beyond the Company’s
control. Accounts receivable which are deemed to be uncollectible are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection
have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. There is a time lag between when the Company estimates a portion
of or the entire account balances to be uncollectible and when a write off of the account balances is taken. The Company does not have
any off-balance sheet credit exposure related to its customers.
(e) Inventory
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.
F- 9
(f) 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 in 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 construction of the new facility was delayed
first due to the impact of COVID 19 and later the supply of the construction materials. The management estimate that construction in
progress for our new facilities will be completed by the end of first half of 2027 and will transfer construction in progress to property,
plant and equipment to start depreciation.
(g) 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 RMB 3,925,234 (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.
F- 10
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 RMB 3,925,234
(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.
Useful life
Land use right 16 years
(h) Lease
The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic
842) (“ASU 2016-02”) for all periods presented. The Company elected the short-term lease exemption for all contracts with
lease terms of 12 months or less.
Under the guidance of ASU 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 that
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 and the resulting
interest it 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 value-added tax is recognized on a 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 equals the risk
free rate plus premium for all leases when calculating the lease liability.
F- 11
(i) 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 warrants issued in the financings in November and December 2021 should be treated as a derivative liability because these warrants
are entitled to a price adjustment 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 other 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
$ 378,371 gain on changes of fair value of common stock purchase warrant liability for the year ended December 31, 2024.
(j) Fair value of financial instruments
Fair value is defined as the price that would
be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement
date. A three-level fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy requires entities to maximize
the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as
follows:
●
Level 1 — inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
●
Level 2 — inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted market prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.
●
Level 3 — inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable.
Unless otherwise disclosed, the fair value of
the Company’s financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable,
short-term bank loans, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, taxes payable and due to related parties, common stock purchase
warrants liability, approximate the fair value of the respective assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 based upon the
nature of the assets and liabilities.
F- 12
(k) 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.
(l) 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.
F- 13
(m) Foreign Currency Translation
The Company uses US dollars as the reporting currency.
The Company’s subsidiary HK Wetouch’s functional currency for HK Wetouch is Hong Kong dollar. The functional currency of Sichuan
Vtouch is the Chinese Yuan (“RMB”). The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been translated into US$. Assets
and liabilities accounts are translated using the exchange rate at each reporting period end date. Equity accounts are translated at historical
rates. Income and expense accounts are translated at the average rate of exchange during the reporting period. The resulting translation
adjustments are reported under other comprehensive income (loss). Gains and losses resulting from the translations of foreign currency
transactions and balances are reflected in the results of operations. During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded
loss of $ 54,626 and gain of $ 52,211 on foreign currency transactions in the line of general & administration expenses, respectively.
The RMB is not freely convertible into foreign
currency and all foreign exchange transactions must take place through authorized institutions. No representation is made that the RMB
amounts could have been, or could be, converted into US$ at the rates used in translation.
The following table outlines the currency exchange
rates that were used in creating the consolidated financial statements in this report:
December 31,
2025
December 31,
2024
Year-end spot rate
US$ 1 =RMB 6.9931
US$ 1 =RMB 7.2993
Average rate
US$ 1 =RMB 7.1875
US$ 1 =RMB 7.1957
(n) 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 with 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.
F- 14
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, 2024 and 2023, 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.
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 15 to the financial statements .
(o) Selling, General and Administrative
Expenses
Selling expenses represents
primarily costs of payroll, benefits, commissions for sales representatives and advertising expenses. General and administrative expenses
represent primarily payroll and benefits costs for administrative employees, rent and operating costs of office premises, depreciation
and amortization of office facilities, professional fees and other administrative expenses.
(p) Segment reporting
In accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting,
operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated
regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources
and in assessing performance. The Company evaluated its portfolio of service to determine whether certain services exhibit similar characteristics,
such that they should be grouped together in the Company’s disclosure. The Company derives revenue primarily from selling various
touchscreens to customers and the products have similar economic characteristics with respect to raw materials, vendors, marketing and
promotions, customers and methods of distribution. The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) has been identified
as the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), who reviews consolidated results when making decisions about allocating resources
and assessing performance of the Company. The CODM confers regularly to review trends in operating metrics, revisit, assess, and adjust
significant strategic and operational matters, and make resource adjustments as needed. These discussions include exploring opportunities
for responding immediately and effectively to operational adjustments, aligning ongoing business activities with corporate-level objectives,
improving customer satisfaction, and enhancing corporate culture, among other management concerns. The primary measure of segment revenue
and profitability for the Company’s operating segment is considered to be consolidated revenue and net income. Certain financial
information, such as revenue, can be disaggregated, whereas cost of revenues, selling and marketing expenses, general and administrative
expenses, research and development expenses and other income (expenses), are mixed and not disaggregated. Hence, with respect to costs
of revenues and operating expenses and other income (expenses), no discrete financial information beyond the consolidated results is
prepared and presented to the CODM.
As all of the Company’s assets are all located
in the PRC, no geographical segment information of assets is presented. The CODM does not review any information regarding total assets
on a reportable segment basis. Through the evaluation, the CODM determined that the Company has only one reporting segment.
F- 15
(q) Share-Based Compensation
The Company awards share options and other equity-based
instruments to its employees, directors and third party service providers (collectively “share-based payments”). Compensation
cost related to such awards is measured based on the fair value of the instrument on the grant date. The Company recognizes the compensation
cost over the period the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, which generally is the vesting period. The
amount of cost recognized is adjusted to reflect the expected forfeiture prior to vesting. When no future services are required to be
performed by the employee in exchange for an award of equity instruments, and if such award does not contain a performance or market condition,
the cost of the award is expensed on the grant date. The Company recognizes compensation cost for an award with only service conditions
that has a graded vesting schedule on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award, provided that the
cumulative amount of compensation cost recognized at any date at least equals the portion of the grant-date value of such award that is
vested at that date.
(r) Income
taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance
with the asset and liability method. Deferred taxes are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences
between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial statement purposes and income tax purposes using enacted rates expected
to be in effect when such amounts are realized or settled. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income
in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is established, as needed, to reduce the amount of deferred tax
assets if it is considered more-likely-than-not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The Company recognizes the effect of uncertain
income tax positions only if those positions are more-likely-than-not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured
at the largest amount that is greater than 50 % likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period
in which the change in judgment occurs. The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions
as a component of income tax expense. There were no such interest or penalty for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.
On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cut and Jobs Act
of 2017 (“the Tax Act”) was signed into law, which among other effects, reduces the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate
to 21 % from 34 % (or 35 % in certain cases) beginning in 2018, and requires companies to pay a one-time transition tax on certain unrepatriated
earnings from non-U.S. subsidiaries that is payable over eight years. No tax was due under this provision. The Tax Act also makes the
receipt of future non-U.S. sourced income of non-U.S. subsidiaries tax-free to U.S. companies and creates a new minimum tax on the earnings
of non-U.S. subsidiaries relating to the parent’s deductions for payments to the subsidiaries.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act
("the Act") was signed into law. The Act makes permanent key elements of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, including 100 % bonus depreciation
and domestic research cost expensing, increases the Advanced Manufacturing Investment Credit to 35 percent from 25 percent, and makes
modifications to the international tax framework. We are currently evaluating the impact of the Act upon our future effective tax rate,
tax liabilities, and cash taxes.
(s) Value added tax (“VAT”)
Sales revenue represents the invoiced value of
goods, net of VAT. The VAT is based on gross sales price. Since April 1, 2019, VAT rate was lowered from 16 % to 13 %. The VAT may be offset
by VAT paid by the Company on raw materials and other materials included in the cost of producing or acquiring its finished products.
The Company recorded a VAT payable or recoverable net of VAT payments in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
For export sales, VAT is not imposed on gross
sales price, but the VAT related to purchasing raw materials is refunded after the export is completed.
F- 16
(t) Earnings per Share
The Company computes earnings per share (“EPS”)
in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share” (“ASC 260”). ASC 260 requires companies with complex capital
structures to present basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is measured as net income divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding
for the period. Diluted presents the dilutive effect on a per share basis of potential common shares (e.g., convertible securities, options
and warrants) as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later. Potential common shares
that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation
of diluted EPS. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, warrants were included for the dilutive EPS calculation, respectively.
(u) Comprehensive income (loss)
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.
(v) Recent accounting pronouncements
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.
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.

NOTE 6 — OPERATING LEASE
In March 2021, pursuant to the local PRC government
guidelines on local environmental issues and the national plan, the Company was under the government directed relocation order to relocate
from a parcel of state-owned land where we maintained our executive offices, research and development facilities and factories. The Company
received a total amount of RMB 115.2 million (approximately $ 16.5 million) from the local government to start the construction of the new
facility in a neighboring Chengdu Wenjiang District.
On March 16, 2021, in order to minimize interruption
of the Company’s business, Sichuan Vtouch entered into a leasing agreement with Sichuan Renshou Shigao Tianfu Investment
Co., Ltd. (later renamed as Meishan Huantian Industrial Co., Ltd.), a limited liability company owned by the local government, to lease
the property, and all buildings, facilities and equipment thereon (the “Demised Properties) of Sichuan Wetouch, commencing from
April 1, 2021 until December 31, 2021 at a monthly rent of RMB 300,000 ($ 42,899 ), which period was extended to October 31, 2022. The lease
was renewed on October 30, 2022, October 30, 2023, August 9, 2024 and September 29, 2025, respectively , with a monthly rent of RMB 400,000
($ 57,199 ), the term of which has been extended to October 31, 2026 for the use of the Demised Properties.
Management makes estimates and assumptions to

The Company follows ASC 740, “Income Taxes”,
which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been
included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences
in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end
based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates, applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income.
Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

of $ 2,250,000 , due in one year with discounted issuance price at 90.0 %. The Notes bore interest at a rate of 8.0 % per annum, payable in
one year and matured on October 27, November 5, November 16, November 29, and December 2, 2022, respectively. Net proceeds after debt
issuance costs and debt discounts were approximately $ 1,793,000 . Debt issuance costs in the amount of $ 162,000 are recorded as deferred
charges and included in the other current assets on the consolidated balance sheet. The debt discount and debt issuance costs are amortized
into interest expense using the effective interest method over the terms of the Notes.
Unless the Notes are
converted, the principal amounts of the Notes, and accrued interest at the rate of 8 % per annum, are payable on the one-year anniversary
of the issuance of the Notes (the “Maturity Date”). If the Company fails to satisfy its loan obligation by the Maturity Date,
the default interest rate will be 16 %.
The Lenders have the
right to convert any or all of the principal and accrued interest on the Notes into shares of common stock of the Company on the earlier
of (i) 180 calendar days after the issuance date of the Notes or (ii) the closing of a listing for trading of the common stock of the
Company on a national securities exchange offering resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of $ 15,000,000 or more (an “ Uplist
Offering ”). If the Company closes an Uplist Offering on or before the 180 th calendar date after the issuance date
of the Notes, the conversion price shall be 70 % of the per share offering price in the Uplist Offering; otherwise, the conversion price
is $ 15.0 per share.
Subject to customary
exceptions, if the Company issues shares or any securities convertible into shares of common stock at an effective price per share lower
than the conversion price of the Notes, the conversion rate of the Notes shall be reduced to such lower price.
Until the Notes are either
paid or converted in their entirety, the Company agreed with the Lenders not to sell any securities convertible into shares of common
stock of the Company (i) at a conversion price that is based on the trading price of the stock or (ii) with a conversion price that is
subject to being reset at a future date or upon an event directly or indirectly related to the business of the Company or the market for
the common stock. The Company also agreed to not issue securities at a future determined price.
The Lenders have the
right to require the Company to repay the Notes if the Company receives cash proceeds, including proceeds from customers and the issuance
of equity (including in the Uplist Offering). If the Company prepays the Notes prior to the Maturity Date, the Company shall pay a 10 %
prepayment penalty.
From December 28, 2022
to April 6, 2023, the lenders of five outstanding Notes and the Company entered into an amendment to the Notes (“Amendment No. 1
to Promissory Note”) extending the term of the Notes for an additional 6 months.
From August 29 to September

Note”) that upon the listing of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Uplist”), the Company

b) Warrants
Accounting for
Warrants
In connection with the
issuance of the Notes, the Company also issued to the lenders seven ( 7 ) three-year warrants (the “Note Warrants”) to purchase
an aggregate of 90,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Warrant Shares”).
The Note Warrants issued
to the lenders granted the holders the rights to purchase up to 10,000 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $ 25
per share. However, if the Company closes an Uplist Offering on or before the 180 th calendar date after the issuance date of
the Note Warrants, then the exercise price shall be 125 % of the offering price of a share in the Uplist Offering. If the adjusted exercise
price as a result of the Uplist Offering is less than $ 25 per share, then the number of shares for which the Warrants are exercisable
shall be increased such that the total exercise price, after taking into account the decrease in the per share exercise price, shall be
equal to the total exercise price prior to such adjustment.
The lenders have the
right to exercise the Note Warrants on a cashless basis if the highest traded price of a share of common stock of the Company during the
150 trading days prior to exercise of the Note Warrants exceeds the exercise price, unless there is an effective registration statement
of the Company which covers the resale of the Lenders.
If the Company issues
shares or any securities convertible into shares at an effective price per share lower than the exercise price of the Note Warrants, the
exercise price of the Note Warrants shall be reduced to such lower price, subject to customary exceptions.
The lenders may not convert
the Notes or exercise the Note Warrants if such conversion or exercise will result in each of the lenders, together with any affiliates,
beneficially owning in excess of 4.9 % of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock immediately after giving effect to such
exercise unless such lender notifies the Company at least 61 days prior to such exercise.
During the year ended
December 31, 2023, two lenders exercised the Note Warrants cashlessly for 22,338 shares of common stock of the Company.
During thethe years ended December 31, 2024, one
lender exercised the Note Warrants cashlessly for 2,725 shares of common stock.
As the Note Warrant was issued in 2021 and was
valid for three years, the remaining 38430 Note Warrants expired during the year ended December 31, 2024.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company
recorded $ 378,371 gain on changes in the fair value of common stock purchase warrants liability using the Black-Scholes option-pricing
model.
(c) Registration
Rights Agreements
Pursuant to the terms
of the Registration Rights Agreements between the Company and lenders of the Notes, the Company agreed to file a registration statement
with the Securities and Exchange Commission to register the shares of common stock underlying the Notes and the shares issuable upon exercise
of the Note Warrants within sixty days from the date of each Registration Rights Agreement. The Company also granted the lenders piggyback
registration rights on such securities pursuant to the Purchase Agreements.

have not exceeded management’s estimates.
The Company has its cash in bank deposits primarily
at state owned banks located in the PRC. Historically, deposits in PRC banks have been secured due to the state policy of protecting depositors’
