EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

On March 31, 2020, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) declared effective the Registration Statement on Form F-1 (Commission File No. 333-233613) (“Form F-1 Registration Statement”) of Industrial Technical Holdings Corporation, a corporation organized under the law of the British Virgin Islands (the “Registrant”).

 

Rule 15d-2(a) (“Rule 15d-2”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, provides generally that if a company’s registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, does not contain certified financial statements for the company’s last full fiscal year preceding the fiscal year in which the registration statement becomes effective then the registrant (a foreign private issuer as defined in Section 230.405), shall, within the later of 90 days after the effective date of the registration statement or four months following the end of the registrant’s latest full fiscal year, file a special financial report furnishing certified financial statements for the last full fiscal year or other period, as the case may be, meeting the requirements of the form appropriate for annual reports of the registrant. Rule 15d-2(b) further provides that the special financial report shall be filed under cover of the facing sheet of the form appropriate for annual reports of the company, shall indicate on the facing sheet that it contains only financial statements for the fiscal year in question, and shall be signed in accordance with the requirements of the annual report form.

 

The Form F-1 Registration Statement did not contain the certified financial statements of Registrant for the year ended December 31, 2019; therefore, as required by Rule 15d-2(a) and (b), Registrant is hereby filing only the certified financial statements of Industrial Technical Holdings Corporation and related Management Discussion and Analysis for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 with the SEC under cover of the facing page of an annual report on Form 20-F and signing in accordance with the requirements of the annual report form..

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To:

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Industrial Technical Holdings Corporation

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Industrial Technical Holdings Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the years in the two-years period ended 2019 and 2018, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-years period ended 2019 and 2018, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered from losses from operations and significant accumulated deficits. The Company comes to have insufficient cash flows generated from operations and provided for development. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. 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 audits 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 audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

On March 16, 2018, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement with ITC-HK (the “Reorganization”); ITC-HK exchanged 100% of its outstanding capital stock for 2,342,000 shares of common stock of the Company. ITC-HK was controlled by the majority shareholder of the Company, Andreas Spiegler, CEO, Principal Accounting Officer and Principal Financial Officer, and Simon Scholz, former Director.

 

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805-50-25, this Reorganization has been accounted for as a recapitalization among entities under common control. The “combination” of the Company and its subsidiaries has been accounted for at historical cost and prepared on the basis as if the aforementioned transactions had become effective as of the beginning of the first period presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Results of operations for the period presented comprise those of the previously separate entities consolidated from the beginning of the period to the end of the period. By eliminating the effects of intra-entity transactions in determining the results of operations for the period before the Reorganization, those results will be on substantially the same basis as the results of operations for the period after the date of combination. The effects of intra-entity transactions on current assets, current liabilities, revenue, and cost of sales for periods presented and on retained earnings (accumulated deficit) at the beginning of the periods presented are eliminated to the extent possible. Furthermore, ASC 805-50-45 5 indicates that the financial statements and financial information presented for prior years also shall be retrospectively adjusted to furnish comparative information.

Note 2 - Summary of significant accounting policies

 

Basis of presentation

 

The 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 Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Company’s consolidated financial statements are expressed in U.S. dollars.

 

Principle of consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All inter-company transactions and balances are eliminated upon consolidation.

 

Use of estimates and assumptions

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates and differences could be material. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period they are identified.

 

Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements include valuation allowances for deferred tax assets, allowance for doubtful accounts, the useful lives of fixed assets, valuation of share-based awards, accruals and other liabilities.

 

Going Concern Consideration

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern basis. The going-concern basis assumes that assets are realized and liabilities are extinguished in the ordinary course of business at amounts disclosed on the consolidated financial statements. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern depends on the liquidation of its current assets and business developments. As of December 31, 2019, the Company incurred positive working capital, $783,444, a comprehensive loss of $1,719,416 and incurred a negative operating cash flow of $465,076. As of December 31, 2018, the Company incurred positive working capital, $404,154, a comprehensive loss of $1,670,752 and incurred a negative operating cash flow of $871,233. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

 

Our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon improving our profitability and the continuing financial support from our stockholders. Our sources of capital in the past have included borrowings from our stockholders and related parties. While we believe that our existing shareholders and related parties will continue to provide the additional cash to meet our obligations as they become due, there can be no assurance that we will be able to raise such additional capital resources on satisfactory terms.

Foreign currency translation

 

The functional currency of the Company’s operations in the PRC is the Chinese Yuan or Renminbi (“RMB”). The consolidated financial statements are translated to U.S. dollars using the period-end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, equity is translated at historical exchange rates, and average rates of exchange (for the period) are used for revenues and expenses and cash flows. As a result, amounts relating to assets and liabilities reported on the statements of cash flows may not necessarily agree with the changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheets. Translation adjustments resulting from the process of translating the local currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in determining comprehensive income / loss. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing on the transaction dates. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date with any transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred.

 

All of the Company’s revenue transactions are transacted in its functional currency. The Company does not enter into any material transaction in foreign currencies. Transaction gains or losses have not had, and are not expected to have, a material effect on the results of operations of the Company.

 

Asset and liability accounts at December 31, 2019 and 2018 were translated at 6.9762 RMB to $1.00 and 6.8632 RMB to $1.00, respectively, which were the exchange rates on the balance sheet dates. Equity accounts were stated at their historical rates. The average translation rates applied to the statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 were 6.8985 RMB and 6.6174 RMB to $1.00, respectively. Cash flows from the Company’s operations are calculated based upon the local currencies using the average translation rate.

 

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.

 

The established fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

The Company applies ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, (“ASC 820”). ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 requires disclosures to be provided on fair value measurement.

 

ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

 

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2: Observable, market-based inputs, other than quoted prices, in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 3: Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

The Company consolidated financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables, other receivables, and various accrued liabilities. Accounts receivables and various accrued liabilities were not recorded at fair value. Their carrying values approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Table of Contents

  

Cash and cash equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased The Company considers all highly liquid investment instruments with an original maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains most of the bank accounts in the PRC. Cash balances in bank accounts in PRC are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or other programs.

 

Accounts receivable

 

Accounts receivable are recorded at net realizable value consisting of the carrying amount less an allowance for non-collectible accounts as needed. The Company establishes a provision for doubtful accounts when there is objective evidence that the Company may not be able to collect amounts due. Management reviews the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts on an ongoing basis, using historical collection trends and individual account analysis. The allowance is based on management’s best estimates of specific losses on individual customer exposures, as well as the historical trends of collections. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the likelihood of collection is not probable. As of December 31, 2019, 2018, the allowance for doubtful accounts were amounted to $37,898 and $175,744, respectively.

 

Prepayments

 

Prepayments represented advance payments made to its vendors for certain prepaid services such as marketing and promotions services, advisory serves, and rentals of Company’s office and technical services.

 

Deferred IPO costs

 

The Company complies with the requirements of ASC 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) Topic 5A - “Expenses of Offering”. Offering costs consist principally of professional and registration fees incurred through the balance sheet date that are related to the Public Offering and that were charged to stockholders’ equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs of approximately $133,480 have been charged to deferred IPO costs account until completion of the Initial Public Offering in 2020.

 

Other receivables

 

Other receivables represented employee advances to pay certain of its expenses in the normal course of business and security deposits.

 

The Company periodically adjusts its allowance for other receivables when it believes that the future collection of receivables is unlikely. Each party is obligated to refund the Company the amount it has paid. The Company recognizes any increase in allowance for other receivables upon significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganization and default or delinquency in payments (more than 365 days overdue upon demand) and any other economic factors which are considered indicators that the receivable may be impaired.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost of inventories is calculated using the weighted-average method. In addition to the cost of raw materials, work in progress and finished goods include direct labor costs and overhead. The Company periodically assesses the recoverability of all inventories to determine whether adjustments are required to record inventories at the lower of cost or market value. Inventories that the Company determines to be obsolete or in excess of forecasted usage are reduced to its estimated realizable value based on assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual demand is lower than the forecasted demand, additional inventory write-downs may be required.

Investments in joint ventures- Equity method

 

A joint venture is a type of joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the joint venture. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.

 

The considerations made in determining significant influence or joint control are similar to those necessary to determine control over subsidiaries. The Company’s investments in its joint venture are accounted for using the equity method.

 

Under the equity method, the investment in a joint venture is initially recognized at cost. The carrying amount of the investment is adjusted to recognize changes in the Company share of net assets of the joint venture since the investment date. The consolidated statements of profit or loss reflect the Company’s share of the results of operations of the joint venture.

 

After application of the equity method, the Company determines whether it is necessary to recognize an impairment loss on its investment in its associate or joint venture. At each reporting date, the Company determines whether there is objective evidence that the investment in the joint venture is impaired. If there is such evidence, the Company calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the joint venture and its carrying value, and then recognizes the pro-rata loss in the consolidated statements of profit or loss.

 

Upon loss of significant influence over the joint venture, the Company measures and recognizes any retained investment at its fair value. Any difference between the carrying amount of the joint venture upon loss of significant influence or joint control and the fair value of the retained investment and proceeds from disposal is recognized in consolidated statements of profit or loss.

 

Property and equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost. The straight-line depreciation method is used to compute depreciation over the estimated useful lives of the assets with a 5% estimated residual values, as follows:

 

 

Useful Lives

 

Machinery

 

10 years

 

Furniture, fixture and electronic equipment

 

3-10 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 betterment 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.

 

Impairment for long-lived assets

 

Long-lived assets, including property and equipment with finite lives are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances (such as a significant adverse change to market conditions that will impact the future use of the assets) indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company assesses the recoverability of the assets based on the non-discounted future cash flows the assets are expected to generate and recognize an impairment loss when estimated discounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset plus net proceeds expected from disposition of the asset, if any, are less than the carrying value of the asset. If an impairment is identified, the Company will reduce the carrying amount of the asset to its estimated fair value based on a discounted cash flows approach or, when available and appropriate, to comparable market values. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, no impairment of long-lived assets was recognized.

Revenue recognition

 

At the beginning of fiscal 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606"), under the modified retrospective transition approach.

 

Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized using the following five steps:

 

 

1.

Identify the contract(s) with a customer;

 

 

 

 

2.

Identify the performance obligations in the contract;

 

 

 

 

3.

Determine the transaction price;

 

 

 

 

4.

Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

 

 

 

 

5.

Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

 

Under ASC 606, a performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer, and is the unit of account. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract with the customer are satisfied. For the product sales, revenue is recognized at a point-in-time when control of the product is transferred to the customer, which generally occurs when the product is shipped from manufacturing facility to the customer. When contracts include multiple products to be delivered to the customer, generally each product is separately priced and is determined to be distinct within the context of the contract. From the past experience, the Company has not experienced any material warranty costs and, therefore, the Company does not believe an accrual for warranty cost is necessary for the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

 

Sales and other taxes collected concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. The Company have elected to recognize the cost for freight and shipping when control of products has transferred to the customer as a component of cost of sales in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company classify shipping and handling fees billed to our customers as net sales and the corresponding costs are classified as cost of sales in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

During years prior to fiscal 2019, the Company recognized revenue in accordance with ASC 605, Revenue Recognition ("ASC 605"). The adoption of ASC 606 did not materially change the timing or methods in which the Company have historically recognized revenue.

 

Cost of revenue

 

Cost of revenue consists of direct materials and freight-in charges relating to products sold, salary and related benefits for direct labors, depreciation and other overhead costs.

 

Selling and marketing expenses

 

Selling expenses consist of primarily shipping and handling costs for products sold and advertisement and marketing expenses for promotion of the Company’s products.

 

 
F-11

Table of Contents

 

General and administrative expenses

 

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of costs in salary and welfare expenses for the general administrative and management staff, facilities costs, depreciation expenses, professional advisor fees, accounting fees, meals and entertainment, utilities, and other miscellaneous expenses incurred in connection with general operations.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718-10 “Compensation-Stock Compensation” which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors including employee stock options, restricted stock units, and stock appreciation rights are based on estimated fair values. Stock-based compensation expense recognized during the period is based on the value of the portion of share-based payment awards that is ultimately expected to vest during the period.

 

The Company accounts for non-employee stock-based awards at fair value in accordance with the measurement and recognition criteria of ASC 505-50 “Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees.

 

Segment Reporting

 

The Company follows the provisions of ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting”, which establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments of public entity by the method of “management approach” for determining reporting segments such as products and services, geographic areas, or major customers. The management approach designates the internal organization that is used by management for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the source of the Company’s reportable segments.

 

The Company’s management reporting structure provided for only one operating segment during the period presented because other operating segments did not pass quantitative threshold according to ASC 280-10-50-10(b). Moreover, the Company operates in one single geographic area. In short, the Company is not required to present separate segment information in this financial statement.

 

Income taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with U.S. GAAP for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method as required by this accounting standard, the recognition of deferred income tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the income tax basis and financial reporting basis of assets and liabilities. Provision for income taxes consists of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes.

 

The charge for taxation is based on the results for the fiscal year as adjusted for items, which are non-assessable or disallowed. It is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

 

Deferred taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax basis used in the computation of assessable tax profit. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all future taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable income will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Deferred tax is calculated using tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized, or the liability is settled.

 

 
F-12

Table of Contents

  

Deferred tax is charged or credited in the consolidated statement of operations, except when it is related to items credited or charged directly to equity. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Current income taxes are provided in accordance with the laws of the relevant taxing authorities.

 

An uncertain tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. As of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had no uncertain tax positions, and will continue to evaluate for uncertain positions in the future.

 

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. The VAT collected from customers is excluded from revenue. The Company’ revenue is subject to a VAT rate of 17% before April 30, 2018, and a VAT rate of 16% from May 1, 2018 onwards.

 

Loss per share

 

The Company computes earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share,” ASC 260 requires companies with complex capital structures to present basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is measured as Net profit divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is similar to basic EPS but 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.

 

Commitments and Contingencies

 

In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to contingencies, including legal proceedings and claims arising out of the business that relates to a wide range of matters, such as government investigations and tax matters. The Company recognizes a liability for such contingency if it determines it is probable that a loss has occurred, and a reasonable estimate of the loss can be made. The Company may consider many factors in making these assessments including historical and the specific facts and circumstances of each matter.

 

Related Party

 

Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Parties are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or significant influence, such as a family member or relative, shareholder, or a related corporation.

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The concentration of credit risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, $468,229 and $608,001 were deposited with banks located in the PRC, Hong Kong and the U.S., respectively. U.S. bank account of ITHC is an escrow account managed by attorney. Bank balance of HK ITC is covered by the Hong Kong Government Deposit Protection Scheme while those in PRC is not covered by insurance. While management believes that these financial institutions and third-party fund holder are of high credit quality, they will monitor their creditworthiness continuously.

 

Political and economic risk

 

The Company’s major operations are located in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic, and legal environments in the PRC, as well as by the general state of the PRC economy. The Company’s operations in the PRC are subject to special considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environment, and foreign currency exchange. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in the political, regulatory and social conditions in the PRC, and by changes in governmental policies or interpretations with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.

 

Foreign currency exchange risk

 

The value of RMB against the U.S. dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in political and economic conditions and the foreign exchange policy adopted by the PRC government. It is difficult to predict how market forces or PRC or U.S. government policy may impact the exchange rate between the RMB and the U.S. dollar in the future. There remains significant international pressure on the PRC government to adopt a more flexible currency policy, which could result in greater fluctuation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar. We are a holding company and we rely on dividends paid by the Company’s operating subsidiaries in China for its cash needs. Any significant revaluation of the RMB may materially and adversely affect our liquidity and cash flows. To the extent that we need to convert U.S. dollars into RMB for our operations, appreciation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar would have an adverse effect on the RMB amount we would receive. Conversely, if the Company decide to convert RMB into U.S. dollars for other business purposes, appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the RMB would have a negative effect on the U.S. dollar amount the Company would receive.

 

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. ASU 2014-09 will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective and permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The guidance also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, “Deferral of the Effective Date” (“ASU 2015-14”), which defers the effective date for ASU 2014-09 by one year. For public entities, the guidance in ASU 2014-09 was effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 (including interim reporting periods within those periods), which means it will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, “Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue versus Net)” (“ASU 2016-08”), which clarifies the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations in the new revenue recognition standard. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, “Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing” (“ASU 2016-10”), which reduces the complexity when applying the guidance for identifying performance obligations and improves the operability and understandability of the license implementation guidance. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12 “Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients” (“ASU 2016-12”), which amends the guidance on transition, collectability, noncash consideration and the presentation of sales and other similar taxes. In December 2016, the FASB further issued ASU 2016-20, “Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2016-20”), which makes minor corrections or minor improvements to the Codification that are not expected to have a significant effect on current accounting practice or create a significant administrative cost to most entities. The amendments are intended to address implementation and provide additional practical expedients to reduce the cost and complexity of applying the new revenue standard. These amendments have the same effective date as the new revenue standard. The Company’s current revenue recognition policies are generally consistent with the new revenue recognition standards set forth in ASU 2014-09.

 

As an “emerging growth company,” or EGC, the Company has elected to take advantage of the extended transition period provided in the Securities Act Section 7(a)(2)(B) for complying with new or revised accounting standards applicable to private companies. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Table of Contents

  

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This update will require the recognition of a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. For operating leases, the asset and liability will be expensed over the lease term on a straight-line basis, with all cash flows included in the operating section of the statement of cash flows. For finance leases, interest on the lease liability will be recognized separately from the amortization of the right-of-use asset in the statement of comprehensive income and the repayment of the principal portion of the lease liability will be classified as a financing activity while the interest component will be included in the operating section of the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-02 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and requires a modified retrospective approach to adoption. Early adoption is permitted. In September 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-13, which to clarify effective dates that public business entities and other entities were required to adopt ASC Topic 842 for annual reporting. A public business entity that otherwise would not meet the definition of a public business entity except for a requirement to include or the inclusion of its financial statements or financial information in another entity’s filing with the SEC adopting ASC Topic 842 for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020. ASU No. 2017-13 also amended that all components of a leveraged lease be recalculated from inception of the lease based on the revised after-tax cash flows arising from the change in the tax law, including revised tax rates. The difference between the amounts originally recorded and the recalculated amounts must be included in income of the year in which the tax law is enacted. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10, by which to defer the effective date for all other entities by an additional year. As an emerging growth company, the Company has not early adopted this update and it will become effective on January 1, 2021. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the definition of a business. The amendments in this ASU is to clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill, and consolidation. The amendments are effective for entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU 2017-1 as of January 1, 2018 and believe the adoption of this ASU does not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Scope of Modification Accounting, which amends the scope of modification accounting for share-based payment arrangements and provides guidance on the types of changes to the terms or conditions of share-based payment awards to which an entity would be required to apply modification accounting under ASC 718. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company adopted ASU 2017-09 as of January 1, 2018 and adoption of this ASU does not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In July 2017, the FASB Issued ASU 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480) and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815). The amendments in Part I of the Update change the reclassification analysis of certain equity-lined financial instruments (or embedded features) with down round features. The amendments in Part II of this Update recharacterize the indefinite deferral of certain provisions of Topic 480 that now are presented as pending content in the Codification, to a scope exception. For public business entities, the amendments in Part I of this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. For all other entities, the amendments in Part I of this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted for all entities, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The amendments in Part II of this Update do not require any transition guidance because those amendments do not have an accounting effect. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2017-11 on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The amendments in this Update affect any entity that is required to apply the provisions of Topic 220, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income, and has items of other comprehensive income for which the related tax effects are presented in other comprehensive income as required by GAAP. The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the amendments in this Update is permitted, including adoption in any interim period, (1) for public business entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued and (2) for all other entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been made available for issuance. The amendments in this Update should be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period (or periods) in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is recognized. The Company adopted ASU 2018-02 as of January 1, 2019 and adoption of this ASU does not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

The Company does not believe other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) and statements of cash flows.

The Company is required to make appropriations to certain reserve funds, comprising the statutory surplus reserve and the discretionary surplus reserve, based on after-tax net income determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the PRC (“PRC GAAP”). Appropriations to the statutory surplus reserve are required to be at least 10% of the after-tax net income determined in accordance with PRC GAAP until the reserve is equal to 50% of the entity’s registered capital.

Note 11 - Tax

 

The Company is registered in the British Virgin Island (BVI). The Group generated substantially all of its income from its PRC operations for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

 

British Virgin Islands

 

Under the current laws of the British Virgin Islands, the Company is not subject to tax on income or capital gain, and no withholding tax is imposed on any dividends and payment made to shareholders.

 

Hong Kong

 

Hong Kong: in accordance with the relevant tax laws and regulations of Hong Kong, a company registered in Hong Kong is subject to income taxes within Hong Kong at the applicable tax rate on taxable income. In March 2018, the Hong Kong Government introduced a two-tiered profit tax rate regime by enacting the Inland Revenue (Amendment) (No.3) Ordinance 2018 (the “Ordinance”). Under the two-tiered profits tax rate regime, the first HKD 2 million of assessable profits of qualifying corporations is taxed at 8.25% and the remaining assessable profits at 16.5%. The Ordinance is effective from the year of assessment 2018/19. The subsidiaries registered in Hong Kong did not have assessable profits that were derived from Hong Kong during the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. Therefore, during the reporting period, the profits of the Hong Kong registered subsidiary are subject to PRC income tax, and Hong Kong profits tax is not included here.

 

PRC Income Tax

 

ITC-HK and its subsidiaries are governed by the income tax laws of the PRC and the income tax provision in respect to operations in the PRC is calculated at the applicable tax rates on the taxable income for the periods based on existing legislation, interpretations and practices in respect thereof. Under the Enterprise Income Tax Laws of the PRC (the “EIT Laws”), after appropriate tax adjustments, the income tax rate is 25% for resident enterprises and 20% for non-resident enterprises

 

The Company periodically evaluates the likelihood of the realization of deferred tax assets, and adjusts the carrying amount of the deferred tax assets by the valuation allowance to the extent the future realization of the deferred tax assets is not judged to be more likely than not. The Company considers many factors when assessing the likelihood of future realization of the Company’s deferred tax assets, including its recent cumulative earnings experience by taxing jurisdiction, expectations of future taxable income or loss, the carryforward periods available to the Company for tax reporting purposes, and other relevant factors. At December 31, 2019 and 2018 based on the weight of available evidence, the Company determined that it was unlikely that the Company’s deferred tax assets would be realized and have provided for a full valuation allowance associated with the net deferred tax assets.
