ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS BACKGROUND

1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS BACKGROUND

 

Meiwu Technology Company Limited (“Weiwu” or the “Company”), formerly known as Wunong Net Technology Co., Ltd.,is a holding company incorporated under the laws of British Virgin Islands on December 4, 2018. Through contractually controlled and managed company, Wunong Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd(“Wunong Shenzhen”) and its subsidiaries, the Company operates an electronic online platform designed to provide primarily Clean Food to customers in China. The Company also operates a restaurant in China with a grocery section that sells only Clean Food.

 

On February 15, 2019, the Company acquired all shares of Shenzhen Vande Technology Co., Limited (“Vande”) pursuant to the Instrument of Transfer, Sold Note and Bought Note recorded with Registrar of Companies in Hong Kong Special Administration Region (SAR).

 

Vande, incorporated on April 6, 2017 in Hong Kong, incorporated Guo Gang Tong (“WFOE”) in the People’s Republic of China with a registered capital of RMB 5,000,000 on December 28, 2018.

 

On March 2, 2019, WFOE entered into a series of contractual agreements with Wunong Shenzhen, a company incorporated in the People’s Republic of China on June 16, 2015 with a registered capital of RMB 5,000,000. These agreements include an Exclusive Technology Consulting Services Agreement, an Equity Interest Pledge Agreement, an Exclusive Purchase Rights Agreement, and a Proxy Agreement, and allow us to:

 

  exercise effective control over Wunong Shenzhen;
  receive substantially all of the economic benefits of Wunong Shenzhen; and
  have an exclusive option to purchase all or part of the equity interests in Wunong Shenzhen when and to the extent permitted by PRC law.

 

As a result of these contractual arrangements, we have become the primary beneficiary of Wunong Shenzhen, and we treat Wunong Shenzhen as a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) in accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810 “Consolidation”, because the equity investments in Wunong Shenzhen no longer have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest, and the Company, through WFOE, is the primary beneficiary of Wunong Shenzhen. Accordingly, Wunong Shenzhen has been consolidated.

 

Since Meiwu Technology Company Limited and its subsidiaries are effectively controlled by the same controlling shareholders before and after the Reorganization, they are considered to be under common control. The above-mentioned transactions were accounted for as a recapitalization. The consolidation 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.

The Company believes that the contractual arrangements with its VIE and their respective shareholders are in compliance with PRC laws and regulations and are legally enforceable. However, uncertainties in the PRC legal system could limit the Company’s ability to enforce the contractual arrangements. If the ownership structure, contractual arrangements and business of the Company, WFOE or Wunong Shenzhen are found to be in violation of any existing or future PRC laws or regulations, or fail to obtain or maintain any of the required permits or approvals, the relevant governmental authorities would have broad discretion in dealing with such violation, including levying fines, confiscating the income or the income of WFOE and Wunong Shenzhen, revoking the business licenses or operating licenses of WFOE or Wunong Shenzhen, discontinuing or placing restrictions or onerous conditions on our operations, requiring the Company to undergo a costly and disruptive restructuring, restricting or prohibiting our use of proceeds from our offerings to finance the business and operations in China, and taking other regulatory or enforcement actions that could be harmful to our business. Any of these actions could cause significant disruption to the business operations and severely damage our reputation, which would in turn materially and adversely affect the business, financial condition and results of operations. If any of these occurrences results in the inability to direct the activities of Wunong Shenzhen, and/or the failure to receive economic benefits from Wunong Shenzhen, the Company may not be able to consolidate their results into the consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
