F- 4 WETOUCH TECHNOLOGY INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) 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 of our common stock (the “Reverse Merger”). In the Reverse Merger, each ordinary share of BVI Wetouch was exchanged for 2,800 shares of common stock of Wetouch. Immediately after the closing of the Reverse Merger on October 9, 2020, we had a total of 31,396,394 issued and outstanding shares of common stock. As a result of the Reverse Merger, BVI Wetouch is now our wholly-owned subsidiary. Wetouch Holding Group Limited (“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 “PRC”). Sichuan Wetouch is primarily engaged in the business of research development, manufacture, and distribution of touchscreen displays to customers both in PRC and overseas. The touchscreen products, which are manufactured by the Company, are primarily for use in computer components. 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 according. Corporate History of BVI Wetouch Wetouch Holding Group Limited (“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 (“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 shareholder meeting. Sichuan Wetouch Technology Co. Ltd. (“Sichuan Wetouch”) was formed on May 6, 2011 in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) and became Wholly Foreign-Owned Enterprise in PRC on February 23, 2017. On July 19, 2016, Sichuan Wetouch was 100 % held by HK Wetouch. On December 30, 2020, Sichuan Vtouch Technology Co., Ltd. (“Sichuan Vtouch”) was incorporated in Chengdu, Sichuan, under the laws of the People’s Republic of China. In March 2021, pursuant to local PRC government guidelines on local environmental issues and the national overall 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 in a nominal amount. As a result of the above restructuring, HK Wetouch became the sole shareholder of Sichuan Vtouch. The following diagram illustrates our current corporate structure: F- 5 Note 2 — BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted as permitted by rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of Wetouch. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2022, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended. In the opinion of the management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present a fair statement of the financial position as of June 30, 2023, the results of operations and cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 have been made. However, the results of operations included in such financial statements may not necessarily be indicative of annual results. Use of Estimates The preparation of condensed financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, as well as the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates the Company’s estimates, including those related to the bad debt allowance, fair values of financial instruments, intangible assets and property and equipment, income taxes, and contingent liabilities, among others. The Company bases its estimates on assumptions, both historical and forward looking, that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Significant Accounting Policies For a detailed discussion about Wetouch’s significant accounting policies, refer to Note 2 — “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” in Wetouch’s consolidated financial statements included in Company’s 2022 audited consolidated financial statements. During the six-month periods ended June 30, 2023, there were no significant changes made to Wetouch significant accounting policies.

The Company made a full prepayment by November 18, 2021.

Pursuant to local PRC government guidelines on local environment issues and the national overall plan, Sichuan Wetouch is under the government directed relocation order to relocate no later than December 31, 2021 and received compensation accordingly. On March 18, 2021, pursuant to the agreement with the local government and an appraisal report issued by a mutual agreed appraiser, Sichuan Wetouch received a compensation of RMB 115.2 million ($ 15.9 million) (“Compensation Funds”) for the withdrawal of the right to use of state-owned land and the demolition of all buildings, facilities, equipment and all other appurtenances on the land.

NOTE 9 – CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES PAYABLE a) Convertible promissory notes In October, November, and December 2021, the Company, issued seven (7) convertible promissory notes of US$ 2,250,000 aggregate principal amount, due in one year (the ‘Notes’) with issuance price discounted 90.0 %. The Notes bear interest at a rate of 8.0 % per annum, payable in one year and will mature on October 27, November 5, November 16, November 29 and December 2 of 2022. Net proceeds after debt issuance costs and debt discount were approximately US$ 1,793,000 . Debt issuance costs in the amount of US$ 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. The details of convertible notes are as follows: 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 $ 0.75 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. F- 9 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. The following table summarizes the outstanding promissory notes as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 (dollars in thousands): SUMMARY OF OUTSTANDING PROMISSORY NOTES June 30, 2023 December 31, 2022 Interest rate Principal Amount Carrying Amount Principal Amount Carrying Amount Convertible Note - Talos Victory (Note 9 (b)) 8 % $ - $ - $ - - Convertible Note - Mast Hill (Note 9 (b)) 8 % 725,000 658,988 740,000 635,535 Convertible Note - First Fire (Note 9 (b)) 8 % 176,250 125,922 181,250 156,594 Convertible Note - LGH Note 9 (b)) 8 % 202,500 194,094 207,500 188,987 Convertible Note - Fourth Man (Note 9 (b)) 8 % 152,000 133,510 157,000 128,703 Convertible Note - Jefferson Street Note 9 (b)) 8 % 165,000 141,240 170,000 142,554 Convertible Note - Blue Lake Note 9 (b)) 8 % - - - - Total $ 1,420,750 $ 1,253,754 $ 1,455,750 $ 1,252,373 Amortization of discounts for the six months ended June 30, 2023 ( 3,888 ) Convertible promissory notes payable as of June 30, 2023 $ 1,249,866 From December 28, 2022 to January 18, 2023, the remaining five (5) lenders and the Company entered into an amendment to the Note (“Amendment to Promissory Note”) extending maturity date for an additional 6 months.

F- 10 b) Warrants Accounting for Warrants In connection with the issuance of a convertible promissory notes (see Note 11 (a) in October, November and December, 2021, the Company also issued seven (7) three-year warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase an aggregate of 1,800,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Warrant Shares”). The Warrants issued to the Lenders granted each of the Lenders the right to purchase up to 200,000 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $ 1.25 per share. However, if the Company closes an Uplist Offering on or before the 180 th calendar date after the issuance date of the 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 $ 1.25 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 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 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 Warrants, the exercise price of the Warrants shall be reduced to such lower price, subject to customary exceptions. The Lenders may not convert the Notes or exercise the 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 common stock immediately after giving effect to such exercise unless the Lenders notify the Company at least 61 days prior to such exercise. On January 17, 2022, we closed a private offering of ordinary shares and warrants to purchase ordinary shares. A total of 2,750,000 ordinary shares (the “Shares”) were issued to a total of five (5) investors (the “Investors”) at a subscription price of $ 0.80 per share for total subscription proceeds of $ 2,200,000 . In addition, for each share subscribed for by the Investors, we issued one (1) warrant to purchase one (1) ordinary share at an exercise price of $ 0.88 per share, exercisable for a period of twenty-four (24) months (the “Warrants”). We have agreed to register the Investors’ re-sale of the Shares by way of a prospectus supplement to our currently effective unallocated shelf registration statement on Form F-3, (SEC File No. 333-267116). The offer and sale of the Shares and the Warrants was exempt under Rule 506 of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”). We engaged in no general solicitation or advertising with regard to the offering and the offering was made solely to “Accredited Investors” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act.

F- 13 NOTE 12- RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES Credit Risk – The carrying amount of accounts receivable included in the balance sheet represents the Company’s exposure to credit risk in relation to its financial assets. No other financial asset carries a significant exposure to credit risk. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of each customer’s financial condition. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts and such allowances in the aggregate 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’ interests. The PRC promulgated a Bankruptcy Law in August 2006, effective June 1, 2007, which contains provisions for the implementation of measures for the bankruptcy of PRC banks. The bank deposits with financial institutions in the PRC are insured by the government authority for up to RMB 500,000 . Interest Rate Risk – The Company is exposed to the risk arising from changing interest rates, which may affect the ability of repayment of existing debts and viability of securing future debt instruments within the PRC. Currency Risk - A majority of the Company’s revenue and expense transactions are denominated in RMB and a significant portion of the Company’s assets and liabilities are denominated in RMB. RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currencies. In the PRC, certain foreign exchange transactions are required by law to be transacted only by authorized financial institutions at exchange rates set by the People’s Bank of China (“PBOC”). Remittances in currencies other than RMB by the Company in China must be processed through the PBOC or other China foreign exchange regulatory bodies which require certain supporting documentation in order to affect the remittance. Concentrations - The Company sells its products primarily through direct customers in the PRC and to some extent, the overseas customers in European countries and East Asia such as South Korea and Taiwan.

The following discussion and analysis are based on our unaudited financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report, which we have prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. You should read the discussion and analysis together with such financial statements and the related notes thereto. Overview We were originally incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada in August 1992. On October 9, 2020, we entered into a share exchange agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with Wetouch Holding Group Limited, a British Virgin Islands (“BVI”) company incorporated on August 14, 2020 under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (“BVI Wetouch”), and all the shareholders of BVI Wetouch (each a “Shareholder” and collectively the “Shareholders”), to acquire all the issued and outstanding capital stock of BVI Wetouch in exchange for the issuance to the Shareholders an aggregate of 28 million shares of our common stock (the “Reverse Merger”). The Reverse Merger closed on October 9, 2020. Immediately after the closing of the Reverse Merger, we had a total of 31,396,394 issued and outstanding shares of common stock. As a result of the Reverse Merger, BVI Wetouch is now 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, which constitutes our source of revenues. 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. In terms of the structures of touch panels, we offer (i) Glass-Glass (“GG”), primarily used in GPS/car entertainment panels in mid-size and luxury cars, industrial HMI, financial and banking terminals, POS and lottery machines; (ii) Glass-Film-Film (“GFF”), mostly used in high-end GPS and entertainment panels, industrial HMI, financial and banking terminals, lottery and gaming industry; (iii) Plastic-Glass (“PG”), typically adopted by touchscreens in GPS/entertainment panels motor vehicle GPS, smart home, robots and charging stations; and (iv) Glass-Film (“GF”), mostly used in industrial HMI. The following discussion and analysis pertain financial condition and results of operations of our subsidiary for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. 5 Effects of COVID-19 The COVID-19 pandemic and resulting global disruptions have affected our businesses, as well as those of our customers and suppliers. To serve our customers while also providing for the safety of our employees and service providers, we have modified numerous aspects of our logistics, transportation, supply chain, purchasing, and after-sale processes. Beginning in Q1 2020, we made numerous process updates across our operations worldwide, and adapted our fulfillment network, to implement employee and customer safety measures, such as enhanced cleaning and physical distancing, personal protective gear, disinfectant spraying, and temperature checks. We will continue to prioritize employee and customer safety and comply with evolving state and local standards as well as to implement standards or processes that we determine to be in the best interests of our employees, customers, and communities. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, our subsidiary Sichuan Wetouch was temporarily shut down from early February 2020 to early March 2020 in accordance with the requirement of the local governments. Our business was negatively impacted and generated lower revenue and net income in 2020. Commencing in the spring of 2021, China began to experience an increase in COVID-19 cases, and to some extent, local governments and the national government began to take more restrictive measures to stem the spread of the virus, particularly from October 2021 to December 2021 and various periods in 2022. Since December 2022, many of the restrictive policies previously adopted by the PRC government to control the spread of COVID-19 have been revoked or replaced with more flexible measures. Although there were occasional increases in COVID-19 cases in China after the government abandoned its restrictive policies, as of the date of this Quarterly Report, our PRC subsidiary has resumed normal operations. There are still uncertainties of future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the extent of the impact will depend on a number of factors, including the duration and severity of the pandemic; and the macroeconomic impact of government measures to contain the spread of COVID-19 and related government stimulus measures. Highlights for the three-month period ended June 30, 2023 include: ● Revenues were $12.8 million, an increase of 8.4% from $11.8 million in the second quarter of 2022 ● Gross profit was $6.3 million, an increase of 23.5% from $5.1 million in the second quarter of 2022 ● Gross profit margin was 49.0%, compared to 43.0% in the second quarter of 2022 ● Net income was $4.7 million, compared to $2.9 million in the second quarter of 2022 ● Total volume shipped was 590,140 units, an increase of 4.1% from 556,875 units in the second quarter of 2022 Results of Operations The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, statements of income data: (in US Dollar millions, except percentage) Three-Month Period Ended June 30, Change Six-Month Period Ended June 30, Change 2023 2022 % 2023 2022 % Revenues $ 12.8 $ 11.8 8.5 % $ 26.2 $ 23.7 10.5 % Cost of revenues (6.5 ) (6.7 ) (3.0 )% (13.9 ) (14.4 ) (3.5 )% Gross profit 6.3 5.1 23.5 % 12.3 9.4 30.9 % Total operating expenses (0.2 ) (1.0 ) (80.0 )% (1.9 ) (1.9 ) (0.0 )% Operating income 6.1 4.1 48.8 % 10.4 7.5 38.7 % Gain on changes of fair values of Common Stock Purchase Warrant 0.1 0.0 N/A 0.0 0.2 (100.0 )% Income before income taxes 6.2 4.1 51.2 % 10.4 7.7 35.1 % Income tax expense (1.5 ) (1.2 ) 25.0 % (2.9 ) (2.2 ) 31.8 % Net income $ 4.7 $ 2.9 62.1 % $ 7.5 $ 5.5 36.4 % 6 Results of Operations - Three Months Ended June 30, 2023 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2022 Revenues We generated revenue of $12.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $1.1 million, or 8.5%, compared to $11.8 million in the same period of last year, primarily due to increase of 4.1% in sales volume, an increase of 10.4% in the average selling price of our products, and partially offset by 6.1% negative impact from exchange rate due to depreciation of RMB against US dollars, compared with those of the same period of last year.

As for the RMB selling price, the increase of 8.8% was mainly due to the increased sales of new models of higher-end products such as POS touchscreens and industrial control computer touchscreens with higher selling prices in the domestic market during the three-month period ended June 30, 2023. The weakening in macroeconomic conditions since the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic in January 2020 continued to exacerbate the touch screen business environment. Due to our proactive efforts to market new models such as POS touchscreens, medical touchscreens, and industrial control computer touchscreens, and efforts to obtain new customers and penetrate into new regions, we had sales increases of 35.5% in Southwest China, 19.4% in South China, and 13.5% in Eastern China during the second quarter ended June 30, 2023 as compared to that of last year. (ii) Overseas market For the three-month period ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, revenues from overseas market remained stable at $3.7 million. We had an increase of 9.9% in average selling price, although the sales volume were flat. 7 The following table summarizes the breakdown of revenues by categories in US dollars : Revenues For the Three-Month Period Ended June 30, 2023 2022 Change Change Amount % Amount % Amount Margin% (in US Dollars, except percentage) Product categories by end applications Automotive Touchscreens $ 3,210,054 25.1 % $ 2,904,951 24.7 % $ 305,103 10.5 % Industrial Control Computer Touchscreens 2,422,606 19.0 % 2,344,118 20.0 % 78,488 3.3 % POS Touchscreens 2,278,814 17.8 % 2,017,900 17.2 % 260,914 12.9 % Medical Touchscreens 1,888,053 14.8 % 1,576,755 14.4 % 311,298 19.7 % Gaming Touchscreens 1,733,135 13.6 % 1,803,630 15.3 % (70,495 ) (3.9 )% Multi-Functional Printer Touchscreens 1,241,770 9.7 % 1,105,671 9.4 % 136,099 12.3 % Others* - 0.0 % (91 ) 0.0 % 91 0.0 % Total Revenues $ 12,774,432 100.0 % $ 11,752,934 100.0 % $ 1,021,498 8.5 % *Others include applications in self-service kiosks, ticket vending machine and financial terminals. The Company continued to shift production mix from traditional lower-end products such as touchscreens used in industrial control computer industries to high-end products such as touchscreens used in POS touchscreens, medical touchscreens, multi-functional printer touchscreens, and automotive touchscreen, primarily due to (i) greater growth potential of computer screen models in China, and (ii) the stronger demand and better quality demand from consumers’ recognition of higher-end touch screens made with better raw materials.

Our gross profit margin increased to 49.0% for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023, as compared to 43.0% for the same period of 2022, primarily due to the increase in revenues of 8.5%, particularly high-end products such as POS touchscreens, medical touchscreens, and multi-functional printer touchscreens for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, partially offset by the increase in cost of goods sold by 1.7% including increase of cost of materials such as chip cost by 1.5%, for the three-month period ended June 30, 2023.

Operating Income Total operating income was $6.1 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2023 as compared to $4.0 million of the same period of last year, primarily due to higher gross margin and lower selling expenses, and administrative expenses for the three-month period ended June 30, 2023.

This was mainly due to an increase of 28.1% in the average RMB selling price of our products, partially offset by the decrease of 7.9% in sales volume and 6.9% negative impact from exchange rate due to depreciation of RMB against US dollars, compared with those of the same period of last year.

The weakening in macroeconomic conditions since the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic in January 2020 continued to exacerbate the touch screen business environment.

The increase was primarily due to the increase of accrued $1.2 million underwriting fees in connection with a private placement, partially offset by the decrease of $0.2 million in salary and wages and other miscellaneous expenses. On March 18, 2023, the Company entered into a consent agreement with representatives related to the private placement on the fees of US$1.2 million, payable only on the completion of an underwritten offering (see Note 8). 11 Research and Development Expenses Six-Month Period Ended June 30, Change (in US dollars, except percentage) 2023 2022 Amount % Research and Development Expenses $ 41,269 $ 44,570 $ (3,301 ) (7.4 )% as a percentage of revenues 0.0 % 0.0 % 0.0 % Research and development (R&D) expenses were $41,269 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023 compared to $44,570 in the same period in 2022.

Our PRC subsidiary Sichuan Vtouch had $92.2 million of cash and cash equivalents of June 30, 2023, which are planned to be indefinitely reinvested in PRC. The distributions from our PRC subsidiary 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 subsidiaries. 12 Net Income As a result of the above factors, we had a net income of $7.5 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2023 compared to a net income of $5.5 million in the same period of 2022. 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 June 30, 2023, we had current assets of $107.4 million, consisting of $92.2 million in cash including $40.0 million from the stock issuance of a private placement, $14.0 million in accounts receivable, $0.2 million in inventories, and $1.1 million in prepaid expenses and other current assets. Our current liabilities as of June 30, 2023, were $8.1 million, which is comprised of $2.4 million in accounts payable, $1.5 million in income tax payable, $2.5 million in accrued expenses and other current liabilities, $0.5 million from a third-party loan, and $1.2 million in convertible promissory notes payable. The following is a summary of our cash flows provided by (used in) operating, investing, and financing activities for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023 and 2022: Six-Month Period Ended June 30, (in US Dollar millions) 2023 2022 Net cash provided by operating activities $ 6.8 $ 1.5 Net cash provided by investing activities - - Net cash provided by financing activities 40.0 - Effect of foreign currency exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents (5.8 ) (2.5 ) Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents 41.0 (1.0 ) Cash and cash equivalents at the beginning of period 51.2 46.1 Cash and cash equivalents at the end of period $ 92.2 $ 45.1 Operating Activities Net cash provided by operating activities was $6.8 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, as compared to $1.5 million used in operating activities for the same period of the last year, primarily due to (i) the increase of $1.9 million net income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the same period of 2022, (ii) the increase of $0.3 million loss on changes of FV of common stock purchase warrants for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023; (iii) the decrease of $2.1 million of accounts receivable for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023 due to faster collection of receivables, (iv) the decrease of $0.5 million in inventories, (v) the decrease of $0.3 million in accounts payable, (vi) the increase of $0.4 million in income tax payable, and (vii) the decrease of $1.0 million of accrued expenses and other current liabilities for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, partially offset by the decrease in $0.8 million in account payable for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023. 13 Investing Activities There was nil investing activities for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. Financing Activities Net cash provided by financing activities for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023 was $40.0 million, due to the $40.0 million proceeds from stock issuance in a private placement. There were nil financing activities for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022. As of June 30, 2023, our cash and cash equivalents were $92.2 million, as compared to $51.3 million at December 31, 2022. Days Sales Outstanding (“DSO”) has decreased to 79 days for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023 from 81 days for the year ended December 31, 2022.

There is no assurance that exchange rates between the RMB and the U.S. Dollar will remain stable. Inflation has not had a material impact on the Company’s business. Based on past performance and current expectations, we believe our cash and cash equivalents provided by operating activities and financing activities will satisfy our working capital needs, capital expenditures and other liquidity requirements associated with our operations for at least the next 12 months. Off Balance Sheet Arrangements We have no off balance sheet arrangements. ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk. Not applicable because we are a smaller reporting company. ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures. Disclosure Controls and Procedures We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. 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 of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation and subject to the foregoing, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2023 due to the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described below. Because of our limited operations, we have a limited number of employees which prohibits a segregation of duties. In addition, we lack a formal audit committee with a financial expert. As we grow and expand our operations we will engage additional employees and experts as needed. However, there can be no assurance that our operations will expand. Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. 14 PART II – OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1.
