Selected Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted by the U.S. GAAP, which requires us to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect our reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses, and any related disclosures. Although there were no material changes made to the accounting estimates and assumptions in the past three years, we continually evaluate these estimates and assumptions based on the most recently available information, our own historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Since the use of estimates is an integral component of the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from our expectations as a result of changes in our estimates.

 

We believe that the following accounting policies and notes involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity in their application and require us to make significant accounting estimates. Accordingly, these are the policies we believe are the most critical to understanding and evaluating our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, allowances for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation, useful lives of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, and income taxes related to realization of deferred tax assets and uncertain tax position. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents primarily consist of cash and deposits with financial institutions which are unrestricted as to withdrawal and use. Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash generally with original maturities of three months or less when purchased.

 

Value-added Tax (“VAT”)

 

Value-added taxes (“VAT”) collected from customers relating to product sales and remitted to governmental authorities are presented on a net basis. VAT collected from customers is excluded from revenue. The Company is subject to a VAT rate of 17% before May 1, 2018, a VAT rate of 16% effective on May 1, 2018, and the most current VAT rate of 13% effective on April 1, 2019. The VAT payable 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.

 

Intangible Assets

 

   March 31,   September 
30,
 
   2022   2021 
Land use rights, cost  $628,042   $617,895 
Software, cost   9,598,743    8,803,367 
Other intangible assets, cost   19,919    1,732 
Less: accumulated amortization   (683,116)   (673,007)
Intangible assets, net  $9,563,588   $8,749,987 

 

Intangible assets consist primarily of land use rights and software. Under the PRC law, all land in the PRC is owned by the government and cannot be sold to an individual or company. The government grants individuals and companies the right to use parcels of land for specified periods of time. These land use rights are sometimes referred to informally as “ownership.” Land use rights are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. The land use right represents the Company's land use rights in Wenzhou's plant, which had been pledged to secure the Company’s banking facilities granted to the Company as of March 31, 2022 and September 30, 2021.

 

 

 

 

During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021, the Company entered into a series of consulting agreements with third-party entity and individuals to develop and implement the following software platforms:

 

  The DeFi (decentralized finance) Protocol, a stablecoin DEX (decentralized exchange) and liquidity mining platform, available at https://xsigma.fi.

 

  Two flagship trading platforms, “xSigma Trading” for CFD trading and “xSigma Trader” for Crypto, Crypto Options and Crypto derivatives.

 

 

MaximNFT platform (“MaximNFT”), available at www.maximnft.com, the exclusive NFT (Non-Fungible Token) marketplace partners with Maxim, the iconic men’s lifestyle brand. It will allow customers to create and sell NFTs on various blockchains, including, but not limited to, Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, and Polkadot.

 

The software platforms are intended for internal use which is to provide services to customers and the Company does not have any plan to market the software for sales externally. In exchange of the development services provided, the Company paid consideration in the form of cash, stock and stock warrants, and all the costs incurred during the Application development Stage were capitalized pursuant to ASC 350-40-25.
