CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this "Report"), including, without limitation, statements under the heading "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). These forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including the words "believes," "estimates," "anticipates," "expects," "intends," "plans," "may," "will," "potential," "projects," "predicts," "continue," or "should," or, in each case, their negative or other variations or comparable terminology. There can be no assurance that actual results will not materially differ from expectations. These statements are based on management’s current expectations, but actual results may differ materially due to various factors, including, but not limited to:
| ● | the impact (including travel and entry restrictions and quarantine) of public health epidemics, including the COVID-19 pandemic in China, Hong Kong and the rest of the world, on the market we operate in and our business, results of operations and financial condition; | |
| ● | the impact of political uncertainty and social unrest in Hong Kong and laws, rules and regulations of the Chinese government aimed at addressing such unrest; | |
| ● | the market for our services in Hong Kong and Mainland China; | |
| ● | our expansion and other plans and opportunities; | |
| ● | our future financial and operating results, including revenues, income, expenditures, cash balances and other financial items; | |
| ● | current and future economic conditions in Hong Kong and China; | |
| ● | the future growth of the Hong Kong insurance industry as a whole and the professional insurance intermediary sector in particular; | |
| ● | our ability to attract customers, further enhance our brand recognition; | |
| ● | our ability to hire and retain qualified management personnel and key employees in order to enable them to develop our business; | |
| ● | changes in other applicable laws or regulations in Hong Kong related to or that could impact our business; | |
| ● | our management of business through a U.S. publicly-traded and reporting company and the general reputation and potential scrutiny of U.S. publicly-traded companies with their principal operations in Hong Kong and China; and | |
| ● | other assumptions regarding or descriptions of potential future events or circumstances described in this Report underlying or relating to any forward-looking statements. |
ii
The forward-looking statements contained in this Report are based on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on us. Future developments affecting us may not be those that we have anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) and other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.
By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future. We caution you that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and that our actual results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and developments in the industry in which we operate may differ materially from those made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements contained in this Report. In addition, even if our results or operations, financial condition and liquidity, and developments in the industry in which we operate are consistent with the forward-looking statements contained in this Report, those results or developments may not be indicative of results or developments in subsequent periods.

Notes
to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Nine Months Ended December 31, 2021 and 2020
1. Organization and principal activities
QDM International Inc. ("we," the "Company" or "QDM") was incorporated in Florida in March 2020 and is the successor to 24/7 Kid Doc, Inc. ("24/7 Kid"), which was incorporated in Florida in November 1998. The Company is a holding company with no material operations and conducts its insurance brokerage business through an indirect wholly owned subsidiary, YeeTah Insurance Consultant Limited ("YeeTah"), a licensed insurance brokerage company located in Hong Kong, China. YeeTah sells a wide range of insurance products, consisting of two major categories: (1) life and medical insurance, such as individual life insurance; and (2) general insurance, such as automobile insurance, commercial property insurance, liability insurance, homeowner insurance. In addition, as a Mandatory Provident Fund ("MPF") Intermediary, YeeTah also assists its customers with their investment through the MPF and the Occupational Retirement Schemes Ordinance schemes ("ORSO") in Hong Kong, both of which are retirement protection schemes set up for employees.
On October 21, 2020, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement (the "Share Exchange Agreement") with QDM Holdings Limited, a British Virgin Islands ("BVI") company ("QDM BVI"), and Huihe Zheng, the sole shareholder of QDM BVI ("Mr. Zheng"), who is also the Company’s principal stockholder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, to acquire all the issued and outstanding capital stock of QDM BVI in exchange for the issuance to Mr. Zheng of shares of a newly designated Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $ per share, with each Series C Convertible Preferred Stock initially being convertible into 11 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $ per share, subject to certain adjustments and limitations (the "Share Exchange"). The Share Exchange closed on October 21, 2020.
As a result of the consummation of the Share Exchange, the Company acquired all the issued and outstanding capital stock of QDM BVI and its subsidiaries, QDM Group Limited, a Hong Kong corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of QDM BVI ("QDM HK") and YeeTah.
The Company was a shell company prior to the reverse acquisition which occurred as a result of the consummation of the transaction contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement, and QDM BVI was a private operating company. The reverse acquisition by a non-operating public shell company by a private operating company typically results in the owners and management of the private company having actual or effective voting and operating control of the combined company. Therefore, the reverse acquisition is considered a capital transaction in substance. In other words, the transaction is a reverse recapitalization, equivalent to the issuance of stock by the private company for the net monetary assets of the shell company accompanied by a recapitalization. Therefore, the acquisition was accounted for as a recapitalization and QDM BVI is considered the acquirer for accounting and financial reporting purposes. The assets and liabilities of QDM BVI have been brought forward at their book value and no goodwill has been recognized.
Accordingly, the reverse acquisition has been treated as a corporate restructuring (reorganization) of entities under common control and thus the current capital structures of QDM BVI and its wholly-owned subsidiary QDM HK and its wholly-owned subsidiary, YeeTah, have been retrospectively presented in prior periods as if such structures existed at that time and in accordance with ASC 805-50-45-5.
As a result of the Share Exchange, the Company ceased to be a shell company.
Unless the context specifically requires otherwise, the term "Company" used herein means QDM International Inc. together with its direct and indirect subsidiaries described above.
6
Going Concern
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company has incurred a loss since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit as of December 31, 2021. Accordingly, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company generating revenue and profit in the future and/or to obtain necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Management intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months primarily through financings from the Company’s major stockholder, although the Company may seek other sources of funding, including public and private offerings of securities.
These consolidated financial statements do not reflect adjustments that would be necessary if the Company were unable to continue as a "going concern." While management believes that the actions already taken or planned, including adjusting its operating expenditures and obtaining financial supports from Mr. Zheng, its principal stockholder, will mitigate the adverse conditions and events which raise doubt about the validity of the "going concern" assumption used in preparing these financial statements, there can be no assurance that these actions will be successful. If the Company were unable to continue as a "going concern," then substantial adjustments would be necessary to the reported amounts of its liabilities, the reported expenses and the consolidated balance sheet classifications used.
2. Summary of significant accounting policies
Basis of Presentation
The Company’s unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring items, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations for the periods shown and are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2022. These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2021, which was originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 12, 2021 and was amended on October 22, 2021 and December 17, 2021, respectively.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with the U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. The reported amounts of revenues and expenses may be affected by the estimates that management is required to make. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
7
Foreign Currency and Foreign Currency Translation
The Company’s reporting currency is the United States Dollar ("US$" or "$"). The Company’s operations are principally conducted in Hong Kong where Hong Kong dollar is the functional currency.
Transactions denominated in other than the functional currencies are re-measured into the functional currency of the entity at the exchange rates prevailing on the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the applicable functional currencies are translated into the functional currency at the prevailing rates of exchange at the balance date. The resulting exchange differences are reported in the statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
The
exchanges rates used for translation from Hong Kong dollar to US$ was
Certain Risks and Concentration
The Company’s financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and receivables, and other assets. As of December 31, 2021, substantially all of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were held in major financial institutions located in Hong Kong, which management considers to being of high credit quality.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of petty cash on hand and cash held in banks, which are highly liquid and have original maturities of three months or less and are unrestricted as to withdrawal or use.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable represents trade receivable and are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently adjusted for any allowance for doubtful accounts and impairment.
The Company makes impairment loss for bad and doubtful debts based on assessments of the recoverability of the trade and other receivables based on individual account analysis, including the current creditworthiness and the past collection history of each debtor. Impairments arise when there is an objective evidence indicate that the balances may not be collectible. The identification of bad and doubtful debts, in particular of a loss event, requires the use of judgment and estimates, which involve the estimates of specific losses on individual exposures, as well as a provision on historical trends of collections. Based on management of customers’ credit and ongoing relationship, management makes conclusions whether any balances outstanding at the end of the period will be deemed uncollectible on an individual basis and on aging analysis basis. The provision is recorded against accounts receivables balances, with a corresponding charge recorded in the statements of operations. Delinquent account balances are written-off against the allowance for doubtful accounts after management has determined that the likelihood of collection is not probable.
8
The
Company historically did not have material bad debts in accounts receivable. There were no bad debt expenses for the three and nine months
ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 and there was
Revenue Recognition
The Company generates revenue primarily by providing insurance brokerage services in Hong Kong. The Company sells insurance products underwritten by insurance companies operating in Hong Kong to its individual customers and is compensated for its services by commissions paid by insurance companies, typically based on a percentage of the premium paid by the insured.
FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 606 provides for a five-step model for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. These five steps include:
| (i) | Identify the contract |
| (ii) | Identify performance obligations |
| (iii) | Determine transaction price |
| (iv) | Allocate transaction price |
| (v) | Recognize revenue |
The Company enters into insurance brokerage contracts with our customers (insurance companies) primarily through written contracts. Performance obligation for these insurance brokerage contracts is to help the Company’s insurance company customers to promote, coordinate and complete subscriptions of insurance policies and products offered by our customers.
Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized when the customer obtains control of a good or service. A customer obtains control of a good or service if it has the ability to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from that good or service. The transfer of control of the Company’s brokerage services generally occurs at a point in time on the effective date of the associated insurance contract when the policy transfers to the customer. The insurance policy entered between the insurance company and the insured customer generally contains a cool-off period of one to two months. When the cool-off period elapses and the insured customer does not withdraw from the insurance policy, the policy becomes effective. Once the transfer of control of a service occurs, the Company has satisfied its insurance brokerage performance obligation and recognizes revenue.
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.
9
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 three levels of inputs that may be used to measure 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’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, due from related parties, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and due to related party. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
The Company noted no transfers between levels during any of the periods presented. The Company did not have any instruments that were measured at fair value on a recurring nor non-recurring basis as of December 31, 2021.
Leases
A lease for which substantially all the benefits and risks incidental to ownership remain with the lessor is classified by the lessee as an operating lease. When a lease contains rent holidays, the Company records the total expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Leases that substantially transfer to the Company all the risks and rewards of ownership of assets are accounted for as capital leases. At the commencement of the lease term, a capital lease is capitalized at the lower of the fair value of the leased asset and the present value of the minimum lease payments, each determined at the inception of the lease.
The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the balance sheets as capital lease obligation. Lease payments are apportioned between the finance charge and the reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance charge is allocated to each period during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.
Assets under capital leases are depreciated the same as owned assets over the shorter of the lease term and their estimated useful lives.
Taxation
Current income taxes are provided on the basis of net profit for financial reporting purposes, adjusted for income and expense items which are not assessable or deductible for income tax purposes, in accordance with the regulations of the relevant tax jurisdictions.
10
Deferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements, net operating loss carryforwards and credits. 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. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted rates expected to apply to taxable income in which temporary differences are expected to be reversed or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of changes in tax rates is recognized in the statement of operations and comprehensive income in the period of the enactment of the change.
The Company considers positive and negative evidence when determining whether a portion or all of its deferred tax assets will more likely than not be realized. This assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of current and cumulative losses, forecasts of future profitability, the duration of statutory carry-forward periods, its experience with tax attributes expiring unused, and its tax planning strategies. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient future taxable income within the carry-forward periods provided for in the tax law and during the periods in which the temporary differences become deductible. When assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, the Company has considered possible sources of taxable income including (i) future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, (ii) future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carry-forwards, (iii) future taxable income arising from implementing tax planning strategies, and (iv) specific known trend of profits expected to be reflected within the industry.
The Company recognizes a tax benefit associated with an uncertain tax position when, in its judgment, it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority. For a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the Company initially and subsequently measures the tax benefit as the largest amount that the Company judges to have a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority. The Company’s liability associated with unrecognized tax benefits is adjusted periodically due to changing circumstances, such as the progress of tax audits, case law developments and new or emerging legislation. Such adjustments are recognized entirely in the period in which they are identified. The Company’s effective tax rate includes the net impact of changes in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits and subsequent adjustments as considered appropriate by management. The Company classifies interest and penalties recognized on the liability for unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company recognizes stock-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC 718, Stock Compensation. ASC 718 requires that the cost resulting from all share-based transactions be recorded in the financial statements. It establishes fair value as the measurement objective in accounting for share-based payment arrangements and requires all entities to apply a fair-value-based measurement in accounting for share-based payment transactions with employees. ASC 718 also establishes fair value as the measurement objective for transactions in which an entity acquires goods or services from non-employees in share-based payment transactions.

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to holders of common stock by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period using the two-class method. Under the two-class method, net income is allocated between shares of common stock and other participating securities based on their participating rights. Net loss is not allocated to other participating securities if based on their contractual terms they are not obligated to share in the losses. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to holders of common stock by the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common equivalent shares are not included in the denominator of the diluted loss per share calculation when inclusion of such shares would be anti-dilutive.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our interim financial statements, including the notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this Report. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward- looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include but are not limited to those discussed below and elsewhere in this Report. Our interim financial statements are stated in United States Dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
Overview
From 2016 to 2020, we were a telemedicine company that provides Connect-a-Doc telemedicine kits to schools. Our services aimed to provide alternatives to schools that desire to provide a higher level of healthcare to their students but are unable to keep a full-time school nurse available. In 2020 this business was discontinued and we became a non-operating "shell" company.
Following the change in control in March 2020, we planned to conduct insurance brokerage business in Hong Kong, through either formation or acquisition of an existing insurance brokerage business. To implement our business plan, during 2020, we engaged professionals (legal counsel and accountants) to evaluate the optimal corporate structure for our new business and conduct due diligence on a potential target.
On October 21, 2020, we entered into the Share Exchange Agreement with QDM BVI, and Huihe Zheng, the sole shareholder of QDM BVI, who is also our principal stockholder and serves as our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, to acquire all the issued and outstanding capital stock of QDM BVI in exchange for the issuance to Mr. Zheng of 900,000 shares of a newly designated Series C Preferred Stock. The Share Exchange closed on October 21, 2020.
As a result of the consummation of the Share Exchange, we acquired QDM BVI and its indirect subsidiary, YeeTah, an insurance brokerage company primarily engaged in the sales and distribution of insurance products in Hong Kong. Following the closing of the transaction, we have assumed the business operations of QDM BVI and its subsidiaries.
Impact of COVID-19 and Protests
Impact of COVID-19
An outbreak of a novel strain of the coronavirus, COVID-19, was identified in China and has subsequently been recognized as a pandemic by the World Health Organization. The COVID-19 pandemic has severely restricted the level of economic activity around the world. In response to this pandemic, the governments of many countries, states, cities and other geographic regions, including Hong Kong, have taken preventative or protective actions, such as imposing restrictions on travel and business operations and advising or requiring individuals to limit or forego their time outside of their homes.
15
With social distancing measures having been implemented to curtail the spread of COVID-19, insurance brokers in Hong Kong, such as YeeTah, which relied primarily on storefront and in-person consultations for new business production faced an immediate slowdown. In addition, Hong Kong has suspended mainland tourists’ free travel and Hong Kong’s current boarding requirements vary based on where the traveler has visited in the past 14 or 21 days and whether the traveler is vaccinated.
Customers from mainland China contributed to a large part of YeeTah’s commissions. Regulations require their physical presence in Hong Kong to complete the policy contract. However, due to the political turmoil and travel restrictions related to the COVID-19 epidemic, mainland Chinese customers have dropped sharply. As a result, YeeTah’s revenue from commissions on new business has decreased significantly. YeeTah’s commissions from renewal premiums have also been materially affected since the mainland Chinese customers have been late in making the renewal payments due to inability to visit Hong Kong to make the payments. Most of YeeTah’s mainland customers do not have Hong Kong bank account and used to pay their premiums through credit card or in cash in person.
Impact of Protests in Hong Kong
Since early 2019, a number of political protests and conflicts have occurred in Hong Kong in connection with proposed legislation that would allow local authorities to detain and extradite people who are wanted in territories that Hong Kong does not have extradition agreements with, including mainland China and Taiwan. On June 30, 2020, China’s National People’s Congress Standing Committee passed a national security law for the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR). Hong Kong’s Chief Executive promulgated it in Hong Kong later the same day. Among other things, it criminalizes separatism, subversion, terrorism and foreign interference in Hong Kong. The economy of Hong Kong has been negatively impacted, including the retail market, property market, stock market, and tourism, from such protests.
Under the Basic Law of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China, Hong Kong is exclusively in charge of its internal affairs and external relations, while the government of the PRC is responsible for its foreign affairs and defense. As a separate customs territory, Hong Kong maintains and develops relations with foreign states and regions. We cannot assure you that the Hong Kong protests will not affect Hong Kong’s status as a Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China and thereby affecting its current relations with foreign states and regions.
Our revenue is susceptible to Hong Kong protests as well as any other incidents or factors which affect the stability of the social, economic and political conditions in Hong Kong. For example, as a result of the Hong Kong protests, we experienced a drop in new customers from mainland China beginning in June 2019, which impacted our revenue for the period from June 2019 to June 30, 2020.
It is unclear whether there will be other political or social unrest in the near future or that there will not be other events that could lead to the disruption of the economic, political and social conditions in Hong Kong. If such events persist for a prolonged period of time or that the economic, political and social conditions in Hong Kong are to be disrupted, our overall business and results of operations may be adversely affected.

Recent Regulatory Developments
We are a holding company incorporated in Florida with substantially all of our operation conducted by the operating entity in Hong Kong. Although we conduct limited administrative activities in our principal executive offices located in China, we currently do not have or intend to set up any subsidiary or enter into any contractual arrangements to establish a variable interest entity structure with any entity in mainland China. Hong Kong is a special administrative region of the PRC and the basic policies of the PRC regarding Hong Kong are reflected in the Basic Law, namely, Hong Kong’s constitutional document, which provides Hong Kong with a high degree of autonomy and executive, legislative and independent judicial powers, including that of final adjudication under the principle of "one country, two systems". Accordingly, we believe the laws and regulations of the PRC do not currently have any material impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations. However, there is no assurance that there will not be any changes in the economic, political and legal environment in Hong Kong in the future. If there is significant change to current political arrangements between mainland China and Hong Kong, companies operated in Hong Kong may face similar regulatory risks as those operated in PRC, including its ability to offer securities to investors, list its securities on a U.S. or other foreign exchange, conduct its business or accept foreign investment. In light of China’s recent expansion of authority in Hong Kong, there are risks and uncertainties which we cannot foresee for the time being, and rules and regulations in China can change quickly with little or no advance notice. The Chinese government may intervene or influence our current and future operations in Hong Kong at any time, or may exert more control over offerings conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in issuers likes ourselves. See "Item 1A. Risk Factors – Risks Related to Doing Business in Hong Kong." in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2021, which was originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 12, 2021 and was amended on October 22, 2021 and December 17, 2021, respectively.
We are aware that, recently, the PRC government initiated a series of regulatory actions and statements to regulate business operations in certain areas in China with little advance notice, including cracking down on illegal activities in the securities market, enhancing supervision over China-based companies listed overseas using variable interest entity structure, adopting new measures to extend the scope of cybersecurity reviews, and expanding the efforts in anti-monopoly enforcement. For example, on July 6, 2021, the General Office of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and the General Office of the State Council jointly issued a document to crack down on illegal activities in the securities market and promote the high-quality development of the capital market, which, among other things, requires the relevant governmental authorities to strengthen cross-border oversight of law-enforcement and judicial cooperation, to enhance supervision over China-based companies listed overseas, and to establish and improve the system of extraterritorial application of the PRC securities laws. Also, on July 10, 2021, the Cyberspace Administration of China (“CAC”) issued a revised draft of the Measures for Cybersecurity Review for public comments, or the Revised Draft, which required that, among others, in addition to “operator of critical information infrastructure”, any “data processor” controlling personal information of no less than one million users (which to be further specified) which seeks to list in a foreign stock exchange should also be subject to cybersecurity review, and further elaborated the factors to be considered when assessing the national security risks of the relevant activities. On December 28, 2021, the Measures for Cybersecurity Review (2021 version) was promulgated and will become effective on February 15, 2022, which iterates that any “online platform operators” controlling personal information of more than one million users which seeks to list in a foreign stock exchange should also be subject to cybersecurity review. The Measures for Cybersecurity Review (2021 version), further elaborates the factors to be considered when assessing the national security risks of the relevant activities, including, among others, (i) the risk of core data, important data or a large amount of personal information being stolen, leaked, destroyed, and illegally used or exited the country; and (ii) the risk of critical information infrastructure, core data, important data or a large amount of personal information being affected, controlled, or maliciously used by foreign governments after listing abroad. The Cyberspace Administration of China has said that under the proposed rules companies holding data on more than 1,000,000 users must now apply for cybersecurity approval when seeking listings in other nations because of the risk that such data and personal information could be “affected, controlled, and maliciously exploited by foreign governments.”
Except for the Basic Law, national laws of the PRC do not apply in Hong Kong unless they are listed in Annex III of the Basic Law and applied locally by promulgation or local legislation. National laws that may be listed in Annex III are currently limited under the Basic Law to those which fall within the scope of defense and foreign affairs as well as other matters outside the limits of the autonomy of Hong Kong. National laws and regulations relating to data protection, cybersecurity and the anti-monopoly have not been listed in Annex III and so do not apply directly to Hong Kong.
We do not believe that we are currently required to obtain any permission or approval from the China Securities Regulatory Commission, CAC or any other regulatory authority in the PRC for our operations, the trading of our securities on the OTC Markets and the issuance of our securities to foreign investors.
Nevertheless, the laws and regulations in the PRC are evolving, and their enactment timetable, interpretation and implementation involve significant uncertainties. To the extent any PRC laws and regulations become applicable to us, we may be subject to the risks and uncertainties associated with the legal system in the PRC, including with respect to the enforcement of laws and the possibility of changes of rules and regulations with little or no advance notice.
17
The U.S. government, including the Securities and Exchange Commission, has recently made statements and taken certain actions that may lead to significant changes to U.S. and international relations, and will impact companies with connections to the United States or China (including Hong Kong). The Securities and Exchange Commission has issued statements primarily focused on companies with significant China-based operations. For example, on July 30, 2021, Gary Gensler, Chairman of the SEC, issued a Statement on Investor Protection Related to Recent Developments in China, pursuant to which Chairman Gensler stated that he has asked the SEC staff to engage in targeted additional reviews of filings for companies with significant China-based operations.

Revenue
Revenue decreased by approximately $9,000 or 26.5% for the three months ended December 31, 2021 as compared to the same period of 2020. The decrease was mainly due to the decrease in the number of customers from mainland China resulting from the prolonged COVID-19 travel restriction and quarantine measures imposed by Hong Kong government during three months ended December 31, 2021.
Cost of sales
Cost of sales represented commissions paid to individuals or companies who referred customers to us. The amount decreased by approximately $9,000 or 25.8% for the three months ended December 31, 2021 as compared to the same period of 2020. The decrease was in line with the decrease of revenue.
Gross margin
Gross margin was 0% for the three months ended December 31, 2021 as compared to the 1.0% for the same period of last year. The gross margin is fairly consistent for both periods.
18
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses ("GA") consist primarily of stock-based payments, employee salaries, office rents, insurance costs, general office operating expenses (e.g. utilities, repairs and maintenance) and professional fees. General and administrative expenses are consistent for the three months ended December 31, 2021 as compared to the same period of 2020 as GA is largely fixed expenses
.
Net loss
As a result of the factors described above, net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2021 increased by approximately $3,000 or 3.9% as compared to the same period of 2020.
Nine Months Ended December 31, 2021 and 2020
The following table presents an overview of the results of operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020:
| For The Nine Months Ended | For The Nine Months Ended | |||||||
| December 31, 2021 | December 31, 2020 | |||||||

| Total other income (expenses) | 249 | (6,849 | ) | |||||
| Net loss | $ | (271,689 | ) | $ | (222,048 | ) | ||
Revenue
Revenue decreased by approximately $46,000 or 45.4% for the nine months ended December 31, 2021 as compared to the same period of 2020. The decrease was mainly due to the decrease in the number of customers resulting from the prolonged COVID-19 travel restriction and quarantine measures imposed by Hong Kong government during the nine months ended December 31, 2021.
Cost of sales
Cost of sales represented commissions paid to individuals or companies who referred customers to us. The amount decreased by approximately $44,000 or 44.7% for the nine months ended December 31, 2021 as compared to the same period of 2020. The decrease was in line with the decrease of revenue.
19
Gross margin
Gross margin was 0% for the nine months ended December 31, 2021 as compared to the 1.2% for the same period of last year. The lower gross margin in 2021 compared to 2020 was because our commission costs for the nine months ended December 31, 2020 were relatively lower. During the nine months ended December 31, 2021, we slightly increased our commissions for renewals for clients referred by YeeTah Financial from the previous year.
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses increased by approximately $41,000 or 18.0% for the nine months ended December 31, 2021 as compared to the same period of 2020. The increase was primarily due to additional legal fees incurred for the Reverse Split in the nine months ended December 31, 2021.
Net loss
As a result of the factors described above, net loss for the nine months ended December 31, 2021 increased by approximately $50,000 or 22.4% as compared to the same period of 2020.
Foreign Currency Translation
Our reporting currency is the United States dollar. Our operations are principally conducted in Hong Kong where the Hong Kong dollar is the functional currency.
Transactions denominated in other than the functional currencies are re-measured into the functional currency of the entity at the exchange rates prevailing on the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the applicable functional currencies are translated into the functional currency at the prevailing rates of exchange at the balance date. The resulting exchange differences are reported in the statements of operations and comprehensive income.
The exchanges rate used for translation from Hong Kong dollar to US$ was 7.8000, a pegged rate determined by the linked exchange rate system in Hong Kong. This pegged rate was used to translate our balance sheets, income statement items and cash flow items for both the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.
20
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have financed our operations primarily through cash generated by operating activities, equity financings and advances from Huihe Zheng, our principal stockholder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. We are a holding company and conduct substantially all of our operations through YeeTah, which is our only entity that has cash inflows and outflows. Our expenses are paid directly either by YeeTah or Mr Zheng. There have been no cash and any asset transactions between us and our subsidiaries since the Share Exchange. As of December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2021, we had $126,977 and 35,605, respectively, in cash and cash equivalents, which primarily consisted of cash deposited in banks.
| December 31, 2021 | December 31, 2020 | |||||||
| Net cash used in operating activities | $ | (247,689 | ) | $ | (226,493 | ) | ||

Our working capital requirements mainly comprise of commissions paid to technical representatives and referral fees, office administrative costs and employee salaries. Historically, our capital requirements were generally met by cash generated from our operations, equity financings and funding from Mr. Zheng, our principal stockholder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. In light of impact on our operations from the civilian protests in Hong Kong and the COVID-19 epidemic in China and Hong Kong, we undertook certain cost cutting measures, including but not limited to, relocating to a new office with a much lower rent and reducing the number of employees. Discretionary expenditures are also curtailed or reduced to save costs. In addition to adjusting our operating expenditures, we will continue to seek opportunities of equity financings and financial supports from Mr. Zheng. Although historically we were successful in obtaining equity financings through the sales of our securities and obtaining loans from Mr. Zheng, the availability of such financings when required is dependent on many factors beyond our control, such as the unforeseeable impact from COVID-19 and the recovery of the Hong Kong economy following the civilian protests.
Operating Activities:
Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $248,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2021, compared to net cash used in operating activities of approximately $227,000 for the same period of 2020, representing an increase of approximately $21,000 in the net cash outflow in operating activities. The increase in net cash used in operating activities was primarily due to an increase of net loss of $50,000 in the nine months ended December 31, 2021 as compared to the same period of 2020 and the following major working capital changes:
21
| (1) | Change in accounts receivable resulted in an approximately $6,000 cash outflow for the nine months ended December 31, 2021, while for the same period of 2020, change in accounts receivable resulted in a cash inflow of approximately $4,000, which led to an approximately $10,000 increase in net cash outflow from operating activities. |
| (2) | Change in prepaid expenses resulted in an approximately $6,000 cash inflow for the nine months ended December 31, 2021, while for the same period of 2020, change in prepaid expenses resulted in a cash outflow of approximately $18,000, which led to an approximately $24,000 increase in net cash inflow from operating activities. | |
| (3) | Change in accounts payable and accrued liabilities resulted in an approximately $4,000 cash inflow for the nine months ended December 31, 2021, while for the same period of 2020, change in accounts payable and accrued liabilities generated a cash outflow of approximately $12,000, which led to an approximately $16,000 increase in net cash inflow from operating activities. |
| (4) | Change in due to related parties resulted in an approximately $19,000 cash inflow for the nine months ended December 31, 2021, while for the same period of 2020, change in due to related parties generated a cash inflow of approximately $1,000, which led to an approximately $18,000 increase in net cash inflow from operating activities. | |

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our chief executive officer and chief financial officer to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (the "Certifying Officers"), we evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on the foregoing, our Certifying Officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2021 due to the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, which are indicative of many small companies with small staff: (i) lack of proper segregation of duties and risk assessment process; (ii) lack of formal documentation in internal controls over financial reporting; and (iii) lack of independent directors and an audit committee. We will devote resources to remediate these material weaknesses as we grow and such resources required for implementing proper internal controls for financial reporting are available.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
