LIQUIDITY and GOING CONCERN

NOTE 2 – LIQUIDITY and GOING CONCERN

 

For the years ended July 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company reported a net loss from continuing operations of approximately $3.4 million and $2.4 million, respectively, and operating cash outflows from continuing operations of approximately $0.1 million and $2.5 million.

 

In assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, the Company monitors and analyzes its cash and its ability to generate sufficient cash flow in the future to support its operating and capital expenditure commitments.

 

As of July 31, 2022, the Company had cash of $1.8 million. On the other hand, the Company had current liabilities of $2.8 million. Currently the Company had three service-in-progress agreements, and expected to collect consulting service fees of $2.5 million for the next 12 months. The Company also had $2.7 million receivable from buyers of LGC in connection with the disposal of LGC which will be due in early 2023. In addition, due to the recent intense relationship between the U.S. and China, which has become more fragile as a result of the outbreak and spread of COVID-19, plus the tightening of U.S. legislation and public listing rules to curb some small Chinese companies to access the U.S. capital markets, an increasing number of Chinese companies are putting off or slowing down their plans for U.S. listings due to these uncertainties. Furthermore, due to the impact of COVID-19, some of our existing customers may experience financial distress or business disruptions, which could lead to potential delay or default on their payments. Any increased difficulty in collecting accounts receivable, or early termination of our existing consulting service agreements due to deterioration in economic conditions could further negatively impact our cash flows. Given these factors, our potential customers’ perception and confidence to go public in the United States has been negatively impacted and our operating revenue and cash flows may continue to underperform in the near terms. Although we had cash of $1.8 million as of July 31, 2022, given the above mentioned uncertainties, the management believes that the Company will continue as a going concern in the following 12 months from the date the Company’s 2022 consolidated financial statements are issued.

 

We believe that our existing cash, together with $3.2 million that currently remains available under our $8.0 million revolving line of credit with Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB Credit Facility”), and $4.0 million available under the subordinated line of credit (“Subordinated LOC”) as of September 12, 2022, will be sufficient to meet our anticipated capital resources to fund planned operations for the next twelve (12) months. 

 

Currently, the Company intends to finance its future working capital requirements and capital expenditures from cash generated from operating activities and funds raised from equity financings. In October 2021, the Company raised proceeds of $1.1 million from exercise of warrants to purchase 389,855 of its ordinary shares by warrant holders who subscribed for ordinary shares in the registered direct offering closed in November 2020.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of the uncertainties described above.
