2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying interim condensed financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP").
Going Concern
The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business are dependent on, among other things, the Company's ability to operate profitably, to generate cash flows from operations, and to pursue financing arrangements to support its working capital requirements.
In assessing the Company's liquidity, the Company monitors and analyzes its cash and cash equivalents and its operating and capital expenditure commitments. The Company's liquidity needs are to meet its working capital requirements, operating expenses and capital expenditure obligations. As of June 30, 2024, the Company's current liabilities exceeded the current assets by $15,630,549, its accumulated deficit was $17,077,977and the Company has incurred losses during the nine months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. None of the Company's stockholders, officers or directors, or third parties, are under any obligation to advance us funds, or to invest in us. Accordingly, we may not be able to obtain additional financing. If we are unable to raise additional capital, we may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of our business plan, and reducing overhead expenses. We cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to us on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.
In evaluating if there is substantial doubt about the ability to continue as a going concern, the Company are trying to alleviate the going concern risk through (1) increasing cash generated from operations by controlling operating expenses and gradually shifted the business focus to the brand authorization for community healthy station and operation service charges to bring in more revenue, (2) financing from domestic banks and other financial institutions, and (3) equity or debt financing. The Company has certain plans to mitigate these adverse conditions and to increase the liquidity.
On an on-going basis, the Company will also receive financial support commitments from the Company's related parties.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management of the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, costs and expenses, and related disclosures. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenues when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company recognizes revenues following the five step model prescribed under ASU No. 2014-09: (i) identify contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenues when (or as) the Company satisfies the performance obligation.
Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, which may occur at a point in time or over time depending on the terms and conditions of the agreement, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.
9
The Company identified the following performance obligations for each type of contract:
Training Revenue
The Company's online training course service primarily includes coursewares or videos which are already published on the website. Other than providing the access, there are no bundle or multiple separable and distinct tasks. According to ASC 606-10-25-19, there is one performance obligation for the training course service. The Company required and received fees before participants accessed the online courses. Revenue recognised over the period of the card after the E-card was activated.
Charge for use of brand
The Company authorized other enterprises using the Company's brand to set up community health stations, providing services to customers at their location, with a brand usage fee. Revenue was recognized when such transaction was completed.
Online sales
The Company sells goods through live streaming to customers, and arranging for their suppliers to provide goods directly to customers. Revenue is recognized on a net basis, revenue is generated from sales less the cost of goods purchased.
The amount of other revenues was immaterial compared to total revenue during the nine months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.
Practical expedients and exemption
The Company has not inccurred any costs to obtain contracts, and does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected length of one year or less.
Other service income is earned when services have been rendered.
Contract liability
The contract liabilities consist of advances from customers, which relate to unsatisfied performance obligations at the end of each reporting period and consists of cash payments received in advance from customers in sales of training course and brand usage fee. As of June 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, the Company's advances from customer unearned training fee and brand usage fee amounted to $288,578 and $129,758, respectively.

Income Taxes
We account for income taxes using the liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be in effect in the period in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
We apply ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, to account for uncertainty in income taxes and the evaluation of a tax position is a two-step process. The first step is to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of any related appeals or litigation based on the technical merits of that position. The second step is to measure a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not threshold to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the financial statements. A tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Tax positions that previously failed to meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold should be recognized in the first subsequent period in which the threshold is met. Previously recognized tax positions that no longer meet the more-likely-than-not criteria should be de-recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which the threshold is no longer met.
Foreign Currency and Foreign Currency Translation
The functional currency of the Company is the United States dollar ("US dollar"). Fengyuan Beijing and Zhuoxun Beijing, which are based in PRC, the local currency, the Chinese Yuan ("RMB"), as their functional currencies. An entity's functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates, normally that is the currency of the environment in which the entity primarily generates and expends cash. Management's judgment is essential to determine the functional currency by assessing various indicators, such as cash flows, sales price and market, expenses, financing and inter-company transactions and arrangements.
Foreign currency transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are re-measured at the applicable rates of exchange in effect at that date. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency re-measurement are included in the statements of comprehensive loss.
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars. Assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date, and revenues and expenses are translated at the average of the exchange rates in effect during the reporting period. Stockholders' equity accounts are translated using the historical exchange rates at the date the entry to stockholders' equity was recorded, except for the change in retained earnings during the period, which is translated using the historical exchange rates used to translate each period's income statement. Differences resulting from translating functional currencies to the reporting currency are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income in the interim condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Translation of amounts from RMB into U.S. dollars has been made at the following exchange rates:

For the nine months ended June 30, 2024 | RMB7.1986 to $1 | |
For the nine months ended June 30, 2023 | RMB6.9868 to $1 |
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and at banks and highly liquid investments, which are unrestricted from withdrawal or use, and which have original maturities of three months or less when purchased.
Other monetary funds
Other monetary funds consist of cash deposited in financial institutions other than banks.
Allowance for credit loss
The Company adopted ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("ASC 326") on October 1, 2023. ASC 326 requires the application of a credit loss model based prospectively on current expected credit losses (CECL), and replaces the previous model based retrospectively on past incurred losses. When a receivable does not share risk characteristics with other receivables, management will evaluate such receivable for expected credit loss on an individual basis. Doubtful accounts balances are written off and deducted from allowance, when receivables are deemed uncollectible, after all collection efforts have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The adoption of ASC 326 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Inventory, net
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (weighted average basis) or net realizable value. The methods of determining inventory costs are used consistently from year to year. Net realizable value is based on estimated selling prices less selling expenses and any further costs expected to be incurred for completion. Adjustments to reduce the cost of inventory to net realizable value are made, if required, for estimated excess, obsolescence, or impaired balances.
Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets consist primarily of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
Estimated useful lives (years) | ||
Office and computer equipment | 5 | |
Lease improvement | 3 | |
Transportation equipment | 5 |
12
Expenditure for maintenance and repairs is expensed as incurred.
The gain or loss on the disposal of property, plant and equipment is the difference between the net sales proceeds and the lower of the carrying value or fair value less cost to sell the relevant assets and is recognized in general and administrative expenses in the interim condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets mainly comprise domain names and trademarks. Intangible assets are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization with no residual value. Amortization of intangible assets o is computed using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives.
The estimated useful lives of the Company's intangible assets are listed below:
Estimated useful lives (years) | ||
Software | 10 |
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
In accordance with ASC 360-10-35, the Company reviews the carrying values of long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Based on the existence of one or more indicators of impairment, the Company measures any impairment of long-lived assets using the projected discounted cash flow method at the asset group level. The estimation of future cash flows requires significant management judgment based on the Company's historical results and anticipated results and is subject to many factors. The discount rate that is commensurate with the risk inherent in the Company's business model is determined by its management. An impairment loss would be recorded if the Company determined that the carrying value of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. The impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying values of the assets exceed the fair value of the assets. As of June 30, 2024, the impairment loss was $49,271. Noimpairment has been recorded by the Company as of September 30, 2023.
Credit risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. As of June 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, substantially all of the Company's cash and cash equivalents were held by major financial institutions located in the PRC, which management believes are of high credit quality.
For the credit risk related to trade accounts receivable, the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and, if necessary, maintains reserves for potential credit losses. Historically, such losses have been within management's expectations.
Concentrations
For the nine months ended June 30, 2024, four customers accounted for 24%, 16%, 16%, 16% of the Company's total revenue, respectively. For the nine months ended June 30, 2023, no single customer accounted for more than 10% of total revenue.
For the nine months ended June 30, 2024, two suppliers accounted for 59%, 20% of the Company's total purchases, respectively. For the nine months ended June 30, 2023, one supplier accounted for 100% of the Company's total purchases. As of June 30, 2024, no supplier accounted for 10% of the Company's total accounts payable balance. As of September 30, 2023, one supplier accounted for 10% of the Company's total accounts payable balance.
Segments
The Company evaluates a reporting unit by first identifying its operating segments, and then evaluates each operating segment to determine if it includes one or more components that constitute a business. If there are components within an operating segment that meets the definition of a business, the Company evaluates those components to determine if they must be aggregated into one or more reporting units. If applicable, when determining if it is appropriate to aggregate different operating segments, the Company determines if the segments are economically similar and, if so, the operating segments are aggregated. The Company has only one major reportable segment in the periods presented.
13
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
U.S. GAAP establishes a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring the fair value of financial instruments. This hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The three-tier fair value hierarchy is:
Level 1 - observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 - include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the market place.
Level 3 - unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.
The carrying value of the Company's financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts and other receivables, other current assets, accounts and other payables, and other short-term liabilities approximate their fair value due to their short maturities.
Restricted assets
Fengyuan Beijing and Zhuoxun Beijing are restricted in their ability to transfer a portion of their net assets to the Company. The payment of dividends by entities organized in China is subject to limitations, procedures and formalities. Regulations in the PRC currently permit payment of dividends only out of accumulated profits as determined in accordance with accounting standards and regulations in China. Fengyuan Beijing and Zhuoxun Beijing are also required to set aside at least 10% of its after-tax profit based on PRC accounting standards each year to its statutory reserves account until the accumulative amount of such reserves reaches 50% of its respective registered capital. The aforementioned reserves can only be used for specific purposes and are not distributable as cash dividends.
In addition, the Company's operations are conducted and revenues are generated in China, and all of the Company's revenues earned and currency received are denominated in RMB. RMB is subject to the foreign exchange control regulation in China, and, as a result, the Company may be unable to distribute any dividends outside of China due to PRC foreign exchange control regulations that restrict the Company's ability to convert RMB into U.S. dollars.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Adopted
The ASU 2023-07: Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures provides improvements to reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. In addition, the amendments enhance interim disclosure requirements, clarify circumstances in which an entity can disclose multiple measures of segment profit or loss, provide new segment disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment and contain other disclosure requirements. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The ASU should be adopted retrospectively to all periods presented in the financial statements unless it is impracticable to do so. The adoption of ASU 2023-07 is not expected to materially impact the Company's consolidated balance sheets, statements of income and comprehensive income, cash flows or disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvement to Income Tax Disclosure. This standard requires more transparency about income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. This standard also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. ASU 2023-09 is effective for public business entities, for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. We expect the adoption of this ASU will not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
Except for the above-mentioned pronouncements, there are no new recent issued accounting standards that will have material impact on the consolidated financial position, statements of operations and cash flows.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying interim condensed financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP").
Going Concern
The accompanying interim unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business are dependent on, among other things, the Company's ability to operate profitably, to generate cash flows from operations, and to pursue financing arrangements to support its working capital requirements.
In assessing the Company's liquidity, the Company monitors and analyzes its cash and cash equivalents and its operating and capital expenditure commitments. [The Company's liquidity needs are to meet its working capital requirements, operating expenses and capital expenditure obligations. As of June 30, 2024, the Company's current liabilities exceeded the current assets by $15,630,549, its accumulated deficit was $17,077,977 and the Company has incurred losses during the nine months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. None of the Company's stockholders, officers or directors, or third parties, are under any obligation to advance us funds, or to invest in us. Accordingly, we may not be able to obtain additional financing. If we are unable to raise additional capital, we may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of our business plan, and reducing overhead expenses. We cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to us on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.
22
In evaluating if there is substantial doubt about the ability to continue as a going concern, the Company are trying to alleviate the going concern risk through (1) increasing cash generated from operations by controlling operating expenses and gradually shifted the business focus to the brand authorization for community healthy station and operation service charges to bring in more revenue, (2) financing from domestic banks and other financial institutions, and (3) equity or debt financing. The Company has certain plans to mitigate these adverse conditions and to increase the liquidity.
On an on-going basis, the Company will also receive financial support commitments from the Company's related parties.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management of the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, costs and expenses, and related disclosures. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Revenue Recognition
Zhuoxun Beijing recognizes revenues when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which Zhuoxun Beijing expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. Zhuoxun Beijing recognizes revenues following the five-step model prescribed under ASU No. 2014-09: (i) identify contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenues when (or as) it satisfies the performance obligation.
Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to its customers, which may occur at a point in time or over time depending on the terms and conditions of the agreement, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.
Zhuoxun Beijing identified the following performance obligations for each type of contract:
Training revenue
Zhuoxun Beijing's online training course service primarily includes coursewares or videos which are already published on the website. Other than providing the access, there are no bundle or multiple separable and distinct tasks. According to ASC 606-10-25-19, there is one performance obligation for the training course service. The Company required and received fees before participants accessed the online courses. Revenue recognised over the period of the card after the E-card was activated.
Charge for use of brand
Zhuoxun Beijing authorized other enterprises or individuals to use the Zhuoxun Beijing's brand, providing services to customers at their location, with a brand usage fee. Revenue was recognized when such events using the Company's brand are completed.
23
Online sales
Zhuoxun Beijing sells goods through live streaming to customers, and arranging for their suppliers to provide goods directly to customers. Revenue is recognized on a net basis, revenue is generated from sales less the cost of goods purchased.
The amount of other revenues was immaterial compared to total revenue during the nine months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.
Practical expedients and exemption
Zhuoxun Beijing has not incurred any costs to obtain contracts, and does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected length of one year or less.
Other service income is earned when services have been rendered.
Income Taxes
We account for income taxes using the liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be in effect in the period in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
We apply ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, to account for uncertainty in income taxes and the evaluation of a tax position is a two-step process. The first step is to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of any related appeals or litigation based on the technical merits of that position. The second step is to measure a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not threshold to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the financial statements. A tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Tax positions that previously failed to meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold should be recognized in the first subsequent period in which the threshold is met. Previously recognized tax positions that no longer meet the more-likely-than-not criteria should be de-recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which the threshold is no longer met.
Foreign Currency and Foreign Currency Translation
The functional currency of the Company is the United States dollar ("US dollar"). Fengyuan Beijing, Zhuoxun Beijing and Zhuoxun Beijing's subsidiaries, all of which are based in PRC, use the local currency, the Chinese Yuan ("RMB"), as their functional currencies. An entity's functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates, normally that is the currency of the environment in which the entity primarily generates and expends cash. Management's judgment is essential to determine the functional currency by assessing various indicators, such as cash flows, sales price and market, expenses, financing and inter-company transactions and arrangements.
Foreign currency transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are re-measured at the applicable rates of exchange in effect at that date. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency re-measurement are included in the statements of comprehensive loss.
The consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars. Assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date, and revenues and expenses are translated at the average of the exchange rates in effect during the reporting period. Stockholders' equity accounts are translated using the historical exchange rates at the date the entry to stockholders' equity was recorded, except for the change in retained earnings during the period, which is translated using the historical exchange rates used to translate each period's income statement. Differences resulting from translating functional currencies to the reporting currency are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income in the consolidated balance sheets.

Translation of amounts from RMB into U.S. dollars has been made at the following exchange rates:

For the nine months ended June 30, 2023 | RMB6.9868 to $1 |
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
In accordance with ASC 360-10-35, the Company reviews the carrying values of long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Based on the existence of one or more indicators of impairment, the Company measures any impairment of long-lived assets using the projected discounted cash flow method at the asset group level. The estimation of future cash flows requires significant management judgment based on the Company's historical results and anticipated results and is subject to many factors. The discount rate that is commensurate with the risk inherent in the Company's business model is determined by its management. An impairment loss would be recorded if the Company determined that the carrying value of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. The impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying values of the assets exceed the fair value of the assets. As of June 30, 2024, the impairment loss was $49,271. No impairment has been recorded by the Company as of September 30, 2023.
Credit risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. As of June 30, 2024 and 2023, substantially all of the Company's cash and cash equivalents were held by major financial institutions located in the PRC, which management believes are of high credit quality.
For the credit risk related to trade accounts receivable, the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and, if necessary, maintains reserves for potential credit losses. Historically, such losses have been within management's expectations.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
U.S. GAAP establishes a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring the fair value of financial instruments. This hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The three-tier fair value hierarchy is:
Level 1 - observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 - include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the market place
Level 3 - unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity
The carrying value of the Company's financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts and other receivables, other current assets, accounts and other payables, and other short-term liabilities approximate their fair value due to their short maturities.

Limited Operating History; Need for Additional Capital
There is limited historical financial information about the Company on which to base an evaluation of its performance. There is no guarantee on the continued success in its business operations. The business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including limited capital resources, a narrow client base, limited sources of revenue, and possible cost overruns due to the price and cost increases in supplies and services.
Without additional funding, management believes that the Company will not have sufficient funds to meet its obligations beyond one year after the date our condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. These conditions give rise to substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company has been, and intend to continue, working toward identifying and obtaining new sources of financing. To date it has been dependent on related parties for its source of funding. No assurances can be given that it will be successful in obtaining additional financing in the future. Any future financing that it may obtain may cause significant dilution to existing stockholders. Any debt financing or other financing of securities senior to common stock that it is able to obtain will likely include financial and other covenants that will restrict its flexibility. Any failure to comply with these covenants would have a negative impact on its business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
If adequate funds are not available, it may be required to delay, scale back or eliminate portions of it or Zhuoxun Beijing's operations or obtain funds through arrangements with strategic partners or others that may require us to relinquish rights to certain of our assets. Accordingly, the inability to obtain such financing could result in a significant loss of ownership and/or control of our assets and could also adversely affect the Company's ability to fund it or Zhuoxun Beijing's continued operations and expansion efforts.
During the next 12 months, the Company expect to incur the same amount of expenses each month. However, as Zhuoxun Beijing works to expand its operations, it expects to incur significant research, marketing and development costs and expenses on Zhuoxun Beijing's online service platforms that meet the constantly evolving industry standards and consumer demands.

There have been no material changes to the Company's market risk during the nine months ended June 30, 2024.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our senior management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this report (the "Evaluation Date"). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded as of the Evaluation Date that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective such that the information relating to us required to be disclosed in our SEC reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company's former management abandoned all operations for several years, and only recently did the Company appoint new management to make filings with the SEC on behalf of the Company.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter covered by this report that has materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
