FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1.

ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

Network CN Inc. was originally incorporated on September 10, 1993 in Delaware with headquarters in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China ("PRC" or "China"). Since August 2006, Network CN Inc., has been principally engaged in the provision of out-of-home advertising in China through the operation of a network of roadside light emitting diode digital video panels, mega-size LED digital video billboards and light boxes in major cities.

Details of the Company's principal subsidiaries as of September 30, 2024, are described in Note 3 - Subsidiaries.

Going Concern

The Company has experienced recurring net losses $263,144and $367,780for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 respectively, and $861,873and $1,623,860for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 respectively. As of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company has stockholders' deficit of $8,129,148and $7,114,191, respectively. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company's plans regarding those concerns are addressed in the following paragraph. The unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

In response to current financial conditions, the Company has actively explored new prominent media projects in order to provide a wider range of media and advertising services and improve our financial performance. If the project can start to operate, the Company expects that the project will improve the Company's future financial performance. The Company expects that the new project can generate positive cashflow.

The existing cash and cash equivalents together with highly liquid current assets are insufficient to fund the Company's operations for the next twelve months. The Company will need to rely upon some combination of cash generated from the Company's operations, or proceeds from the issuance of the Company's equity and debt securities as well as the exercise of the conversion option by the Company's note holders to convert the notes to the Company's common stock, in order to maintain the Company's operations. Based on the Company's best estimates, the Company believes that there are sufficient financial resources to meet the cash requirements for the coming twelve months and the consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. However, there can be no assurance the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. These uncertainties may result in adverse effects on the continuation of the Company as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

NOTE 2

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(A) Basis of Presentation and Preparation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Network CN Inc., its subsidiaries and variable interest entities (collectively "NCN" or the "Company" "we", "our" or "us") have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of our financial position and results of operations.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were not audited. It is management's opinion, however, that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments or a description of the nature and amount of any adjustments other than normal recurring adjustments) have been made which are necessary for a fair presentation of financial statements. The results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year. The year-end consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 1, 2024. The disclosures made in the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements generally do not repeat those in the annual statements.

(B) Principles of Consolidation

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Network CN Inc., its subsidiaries and its variable interest entities for which it is the primary beneficiary. A variable interest entity is an entity in which the Company, through contractual arrangements, bears the risks and enjoys the rewards normally associated with ownership of the entity. Upon making this determination, the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the entity, which is then required to be consolidated for financial reporting purposes. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.

(C) Use of Estimates

In preparing unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Differences from those estimates are reported in the period they become known and are disclosed to the extent they are material to the unaudited consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.

(D) Intangible Assets

Intangible assets mainly acquired through purchased intangible assets. Purchased intangible assets are initially recognized and measured at cost. The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed to be either finite or indefinite. Intangible assets with finite lives are subsequently amortized over their useful economic life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired.

Identifiable intangible assets that have determinable lives continue to be amortized over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method as follows:

Advertising rights fee contracts

3years

(E) Accounts Receivable Net of Allowance for Expected Credit Losses

Accounts receivable primarily represents revenue recognized that was not invoiced at the balance sheet date and is primarily billed and collected in the following month. Trade accounts receivable are carried at the original invoiced amount less an estimated allowance for expected credit losses based on the probability of future collection. Management determines the adequacy of the allowance based on historical loss patterns, the number of days that customer invoices are past due, reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions to inform adjustments over historical loss data, and an evaluation of the potential risk of loss associated with specific accounts. When management becomes aware of circumstances that may further decrease the likelihood of collection, it records a specific allowance against amounts due, which reduces the receivable to the amount that management reasonably believes will be collected. The Company records changes in the estimate to the allowance for expected credit losses through provision for expected credit losses and reverses the allowance after the potential for recovery is considered remote.

(F) Leases

The Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 842, Leases (ASC 842) effective as of January 1, 2019. Under ASC 842, the Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at contract inception.

Operating lease right-of-use (ROU) assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date of the lease. ROU assets also include any initial direct costs incurred and any lease payments made at or before the lease commencement date, less any lease incentive received. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of lease payments based on the information available at the date of lease commencement. The incremental borrowing rate reflects the rate of interest that a lessee would have to pay to borrow, on a collateralized basis over a similar term, an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. Lease expense for an operating lease is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company elected to not separate non-lease components from the associated lease components and to not recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases with a term of twelve months or less.

(G) Convertible Promissory Notes

1% Convertible Promissory Notes, due in 2025

On January 14, 2020, the Company issued 1% unsecured senior convertible promissory notes to an individual with the principal amount of $645,000. The 1% convertible promissory notes bore interest at 1%per annum, payable semi-annuallyin arrears, matured on January 13, 2025, and were convertible at any time into shares of the Company's common stock at a fixed conversion price of $1.00per share, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments.

The Company determined the 1% convertible promissory notes to be conventional convertible instruments under ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. Its embedded conversion option qualified for equity classification. The 1% convertible promissory notes did not have any embedded conversion option which shall be bifurcated and separately accounted for as a derivative under ASC 815, nor did they contain a cash conversion feature. The Company accounted for the Notes in accordance with ASC 470, as a single debt instrument. No beneficial conversion feature (the "BCF") was recognized as the set conversion price for the Notes was greater than the fair value of the Company's share price at date of issuance.

1% Convertible Promissory Notes, due in 2027

On January 18, 2022, the Company entered into a Subscription Agreement under which the Subscriber agreed to purchase the 1% Senior Unsecured Convertible Note Agreement from the Company for an agreement purchase price of two million five hundred thousand US Dollars ($2,500,000). On the same date, the Company signed the with 1% Senior Unsecured Convertible Note Agreement under which the Company may sell and issue to the Subscriber up to an aggregate maximum amount of $2,500,000 in principal amount of Convertible Notes prior to January 19, 2027. The Convertible Promissory Notes issued to the Investor are convertible at the holder's option into shares of Company common stock at $1.25per share.

The Company evaluates the conversion feature to determine whether it was beneficial as described in ASC 470-20. The intrinsic value of a beneficial conversion feature inherent to a convertible note payable, which is not bifurcated and accounted for separately from the convertible notes payable and may not be settled in cash upon conversion, is treated as a discount to the convertible notes payable. This discount is amortized over the period from the date of issuance to the date the notes is due using the effective interest method. If the notes payable are retired prior to the end of their contractual term, the unamortized discount is expensed in the period of retirement to interest expense. In general, the beneficial conversion feature is measured by comparing the effective conversion price, after considering the relative fair value of detachable instruments included in the financing transaction, if any, to the fair value of the shares of common stock at the commitment date to be received upon conversion.

On January 1, 2024, the Company adopted ASU 2020-06 to financial instruments outstanding as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption, with the cumulative effect of adoption recognized at the date of initial application through an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. Under this method, EPS amounts are not restated in prior periods presented.

On May 13, 2024, as requested by the Convertible Note holders, the Company agreed to change the conversion price to $0.5 per shares. The two 1% Convertible Promissory Notes due 2025 and 2027 were cancelled and re-issued to the Investors at the holders' option into shares of Company common stock at $0.5 per share.

(H) Revenue Recognition

In accordance with ASC 606, Revenue From Contracts with Customers, an entity recognizes revenue when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that are within the scope of the standard, the entity performs the following five steps: (i) identify the 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 revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The standard requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The standard also includes criteria for the capitalization and amortization of certain contract acquisition and fulfillment costs.

The Company recognize revenue when a customer obtains control of promised services. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to receive in exchange for such services. To achieve this core principle, we apply the following five steps:

1) Identify the contract(s) with a customer - A contract with a customer exists when (i) we enter into an enforceable contract with a customer that defines each party's rights regarding the goods or services to be transferred and identifies the payment terms related to those goods or services, (ii) the contract has commercial substance and, (iii) we determine that collection of substantially all consideration for goods or services that are transferred is probable based on the customer's intent and ability to pay the promised consideration. We apply judgment in determining the customer's ability and intention to pay, which is based on a variety of factors including the customer's historical payment experience or, in the case of a new customer, published credit and financial information pertaining to the customer. The contract term for contracts that provide a right to terminate a contract for convenience without significant penalty will reflect the term that each party has enforceable rights under the contract (the period through the earliest termination date). If the termination right is only provided to the customer, the unsatisfied performance obligations will be evaluated as customer options as discussed below.

2) Identify the performance obligations in the contract - Performance obligations promised in a contract are identified based on the goods or services that will be transferred to the customer that are both (i) capable of being distinct, whereby the customer can benefit from the good or service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available from third parties or from us, and (ii) are distinct in the context of the contract, whereby the transfer of the goods or services is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. If these criteria are not met the promised goods or services are accounted for as a combined performance obligation. Certain of our contracts (under which we deliver multiple promised services) require us to perform integration activities where we bear risk with respect to integration activities. Therefore, we must apply judgment to determine whether as a result of those integration activities and risks, the promised services are distinct on the context of the contract.

We typically do not include options that would result in a material right. If options to purchase additional services or options to renew are included in customer contracts, we evaluate the option in order to determine if our arrangement include promises that may represent a material right and needs to be accounted for as a performance obligation in the contract with the customer.

3) Determine the transaction price - The transaction price is determined based on the consideration to which we will be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to the customer. Our contract prices may include fixed amounts, variable amounts or a combination of both fixed and variable amounts. To the extent the transaction price includes variable consideration, we estimate the amount of variable consideration that should be included in the transaction price utilizing either the expected value method or the most likely amount method depending on the nature of the variable consideration. When determining if variable consideration should be constrained, management considers whether there are factors outside our control that could result in a significant reversal of revenue. In making these assessments, we consider the likelihood and magnitude of a potential reversal of revenue. These estimates are re-assessed each reporting period as required.

4) Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract - If the contract contains a single performance obligation, the entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation. Contracts that contain multiple performance obligations require an allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation based on a relative standalone selling price (SSP) basis unless the transaction price is variable and meets the criteria to be allocated entirely to a performance obligation or to a distinct good or service that forms part of a single performance obligation. For most performance obligations, we determine standalone selling price based on the price at which the performance obligation is sold separately. Although uncommon, if the standalone selling price is not observable through past transactions, we estimate the standalone selling price taking into account available information such as market conditions and internally approved pricing guidelines related to the performance obligations.

5) Recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy a performance obligation: we satisfy performance obligations either over time or at a point-in-time as discussed in further detail below. Revenue is recognized when the related performance obligation is satisfied by transferring control of a promised good or service to a customer. The Company recognizes revenue when the performance obligation is satisfied over time as services are rendered.

(I) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No 2022-02, "Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures" ("ASU 2022-02"). ASU 2022-02 eliminates the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings by creditors while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancing and restructurings by creditors made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. In addition, the amendments require disclosure of current period gross write-offs for financing receivables and net investment in leases by year of origination in the vintage disclosures. ASU 2022-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Except for expanded disclosures to its vintage disclosures, ASU 2022-02 did not have a material effect on the Company's current financial position, results of operations or financial statements.

In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU No 2023-06, "Disclosure Agreements - Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC's Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative" ("ASU 2023-06"). ASU 2023-06 will align the disclosure and presentation requirements in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification with the SEC's regulations. The amendments in ASU 2023-06 will be applied prospectively and are effective when the SEC removes the related requirements from Regulations S-X or S-K. Any amendments the SEC does not remove by June 30, 2027 will not be effective. As the Company is currently subject to these SEC requirements, ASU 2023-06 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's current financial position, results of operations or financial statement disclosures.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures" ("ASU 202307"). ASU 2023-07 expands disclosures about a public entity's reportable segments and requires more enhanced information about a reportable segment's expenses, interim segment profit or loss, and how a public entity's chief operating decision maker uses reported segment profit or loss information in assessing segment performance and allocating resources. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. ASU 2023-07 should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company does not expect ASU 2023-07 to have a material effect on the Company's current financial position, results of operations or financial statement disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures" ("ASU 2023-09"). ASU 202309 expands disclosures in the rate reconciliation and requires disclosure of income taxes paid by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. ASU 2023-09 should be applied prospectively; however, retrospective application is permitted. The Company does not expect ASU 2023-09 to have a material effect on the Company's current financial position, results of operations or financial statement disclosures.

Note:

(a)

At the time of issuance, the Company evaluated the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature ("BCF") associated with the conversion feature of the convertible promissory note. The BCF was recorded into additional paid-in capital. Additionally, the convertible promissory note was considered to have an embedded BCF because the effective conversion price was less than the fair value of the Company's common stock on notes issuance date. The value of the BCF was recorded as a discount on the convertible promissory note. Hence, in connection with the issuance of the convertible promissory note, the Company recorded a total debt discount of $400,000 that will be amortized over the term of the Note using effective-interest rate method.

(b)	On January 1, 2024, the Company adopted ASU 2020-06 to financial instruments outstanding as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption, with the cumulative effect of adoption recognized at the date of initial application through an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings.

As of September 30, 2024, the Company does not have available tax losses in the Hong Kong and PRC to utilize for future taxable profits.

As of September 30, 2024, the Company had an unused net operating loss carryforward of approximately $18,352,902 for income tax purposes.

Indefinitely			455,275
		$	3,844,733

History

We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on September 10, 1993, under the name EC Capital Limited. Our predecessor companies were involved in a variety of businesses and were operated by various management teams under different operating names. Between 2004 and 2006 we operated under the name Teda Travel Group Inc., which was primarily engaged in the provision of management services to hotels and resorts in China. On August 1, 2006, we changed our name to "Network CN Inc." in order to better reflect our new vision to build a nationwide information and entertainment network in China.

Network CN Inc. a Delaware holding company with headquarter in Hong Kong and its operations conducted in China. During the latter half of 2006, we adjusted our primary focus away from the tourism and hotel management business to the building of a media network with the goal of becoming a nationwide leader in out-of-home, digital display advertising, roadside LED digital video panels and mega-size video billboards. Since PRC regulations limit foreign ownership of companies that provide advertising services, our advertising business was initially provided through our contractual arrangements with our Variable Interest Entities (VIEs).

In early 2010, the Company fulfilled the requirements to directly own 100% of advertising business company in China, in order to increase our operational efficiency and effectiveness, we restructured our organization by consolidating our PRC operations into one directly owned PRC entity and no VIEs conduct business. Since 2010, we conduct 100% of our business through our wholly owned subsidiaries in PRC.

In August 2022, we focus in developing a new core retail channel "Community Channel" and we restarted our advertising business through our new PRC subsidiaries. The Company conducts 100% of our business through our wholly owned subsidiaries in PRC. During the year ended December 31, 2022, we conducted all of our business in the PRC through our PRC subsidiary in Ningbo only.

In 2023, the Company has established two newly subsidiaries, NCN (Chengdu) Culture Media Co., Ltd, ("NCN Chengdu") and NCN (Tianjin) Culture Co., Ltd ("NCN Tianjin"), a wholly foreign-owned enterprise in Chengdu and Tianjin, China. The Company owns 100% of the established subsidiary companies. In January 2023, NCN Chengdu and NCN Tianjin started its operation and acquired rights to operate advertising panels in Chengdu and Tianjin. On January 1, 2023, NCN Chengdu and NCN Tianjin entered into employment contracts which the employees agreed to bring in the advertising rights in Chengdu and Tianjin to the Company.

The Company has established a newly subsidiary, NCN (Beijing) advertising Co. Ltd ("NCN Beijing"), a wholly foreign-owned enterprise in Beijing, China. The Company owns 100% of the established subsidiary companies. In January 2024, NCN Beijing started its operation and acquired rights to operate advertising panels in Beijing. On January 1, 2024, NCN Beijing entered into employment contract which the employee agreed to bring in the advertising rights in Beijing to the Company.

Currently, the Company has three subsidiaries, NCN (Ningbo) Culture Media Co., Ltd ("NCN Ningbo"), NCN (Chengdu) Culture Media Co., Ltd, ("NCN Chengdu") and NCN (Beijing) advertising Co. Ltd has its operation.

Our Holding Company Structure and Operations in Hong Kong and China

We are a Delaware holding company without any operation and our operations are conducted by our wholly owned subsidiaries in Hong Kong and China and this structure involves unique risks to investors.

There are legal and operational risks associated with being based in and having all our operations in Hong Kong and China. The Chinese government recently took regulatory actions on certain U.S. listed Chinese companies and made statement that it will exert more oversight and control over offerings and listings by Chinese companies that are conducted overseas, such as those related to the use of variable interest entities and data security or anti-monopoly concerns. 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 an announcement 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. On December 28, 2021, Cybersecurity Review Measures were published by Cyberspace Administration of China or the CAC, National Development and Reform Commission, Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Ministry of Public Security, Ministry of State Security, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Commerce, People's Bank of China, State Administration of Radio and Television, China Securities Regulatory Commission ("CSRC"), State Secrecy Administration and State Cryptography Administration and became effective on February 15, 2022, which provides that, Critical Information Infrastructure Operators ("CIIOs") that purchase internet products and services and Online Platform Operators engaging in data processing activities that affect or may affect national security shall be subject to the cybersecurity review by the Cybersecurity Review Office. On November 14, 2021, CAC published the Administration Measures for Cyber Data Security (Draft for Public Comments), or the "Cyber Data Security Measure (Draft)", which requires cyberspace operators with personal information of more than 1 million users who want to list abroad to file a cybersecurity review with the Office of Cybersecurity Review. On April 2, 2022, the CSRC released the Provisions on Strengthening Confidentiality and Archives Administration of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies (Draft for Comments), which provide that a domestic company that seeks to offer and list its securities in a overseas market shall strictly abide by applicable PRC laws and regulations, enhance legal awareness of keeping state secrets and strengthening archives administration, institute a sound confidentiality and archives administration system, and take necessary measures to fulfill confidentiality and archives administration obligations.

On July 7, 2022, CAC promulgated the Measures for the Security Assessment of Data Cross-border Transfer, effective on September 1, 2022, which requires the data processors to apply for data cross-border security assessment coordinated by the CAC under the following circumstances: (i) any data processor transfers important data to overseas; (ii) any critical information infrastructure operator or data processor who processes personal information of over 1 million people provides personal information to overseas; (iii) any data processor who provides personal information to overseas and has already provided personal information of more than 100,000 people or sensitive personal information of more than 10,000 people to overseas since January 1st of the previous year; and (iv) other circumstances under which the data cross-border transfer security assessment is required as prescribed by the CAC. On February 17, 2023, the CSRC released the Trial Administrative Measures of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Enterprises (the "New Overseas Listing Rules") with five interpretive guidelines, which took effect on March 31, 2023. The New Overseas Listing Rules require Chinese domestic enterprises to complete filings with relevant governmental authorities and report related information under certain circumstances, such as: a) an issuer making an application for initial public offering and listing in an overseas market; b) an issuer making an overseas securities offering after having been listed on an overseas market; c) a domestic company seeking an overseas direct or indirect listing of its assets through single or multiple acquisition(s), share swap, transfer of shares or other means. The required filing scope is not limited to the initial public offering, but also includes subsequent overseas securities offering, single or multiple acquisition(s), share swap, transfer of shares or other means to seek an overseas direct or indirect listing and a secondary listing or dual major listing of issuers already listed overseas. According to the Notice on Arrangements for Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Enterprises, published by the CSRC on February 17, 2023, a company that (i) has already completed overseas listing or (ii) has already obtained the approval for the offering or listing from overseas securities regulators or exchanges but has not completed such offering or listing before effective date of the new rules and also completes the offering or listing before September 30, 2023 will be considered as an existing listed company and is not required to make any filing until it conducts a new offering in the future. Furthermore, upon the occurrence of any of the material events specified below after an issuer has completed its offering and listed its securities on an overseas stock exchange, the issuer shall submit a report thereof to the CSRC within 3 working days after the occurrence and public disclosure of the event: (i) change of control; (ii) investigations or sanctions imposed by overseas securities regulatory agencies or other competent authorities; (iii) change of listing status or transfer of listing segment; or (iv) voluntary or mandatory delisting. The new rules provide that the determination as to whether a domestic company is indirectly offering and listing securities on an overseas market shall be made on a substance over form basis, and if the issuer meets the following conditions, the offering and listing shall be determined as an indirect overseas offering and listing by a Chinese domestic company: (i) any of the revenue, profit, total assets or net assets of the Chinese domestic entity is more than 50% of the related financials in the issuer's audited consolidated financial statements for the most recent fiscal year; (ii) the senior managers in charge of business operation and management of the issuer are mostly Chinese citizens or with regular domicile in China, the main locations of its business operations are in China or main business activities are conducted in China.

We are headquartered in Hong Kong with all our executive officers and directors based in Hong Kong who are not Chinese citizens and most of our revenues and profits are generated by our subsidiaries in China. As of the date of this report, these new laws and guidelines have not impacted the Company's ability to conduct its business, accept foreign investments, or list and trade on a U.S. or other foreign exchange. The Company is headquartered in Hong Kong and it owns 100% equity interest of all its subsidiaries and our VIEs did not conduct any business and we conduct advertising services and believes the new data security or anti-monopoly laws and regulations of China do not apply to the Company or its subsidiaries. However, any change in foreign investment regulations, and other policies in China or related enforcement actions by China government could result in a material change in our operations and the value of our ordinary shares and could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer our ordinary shares to investors or cause the value of our ordinary shares to significantly decline or be worthless. The Company's auditor is headquartered in the U.S. and it is not subject to the determinations announced by the PCAOB on December 16, 2021, which determinations were vacated on December 15, 2022, and Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act and related regulations currently do not affect the Company as the Company's auditor is subject to PCAOB's inspection on a regular basis.

As of the date of this report, we (1) are not required to obtain permissions from any PRC authorities to issue our ordinary shares to foreign investors, (2) are not subject to permission requirements from CSRC, CAC or any other entity that is required to approve of our operations in China, and (3) have not received or were denied such permissions by any PRC authorities.

We are headquartered in Hong Kong with our chief executive officer, chief financial officer and all members of the board of directors based in Hong Kong who are not Chinese citizens. Although we don't believe we are a Chinese domestic entity as defined in the New Overseas Listing Rules published by CSRC on February 17, 2023, it is not certain whether we might be determined as a Chinese entity under new rules, which will require us to file related documents with CSRC. Also, the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the General Office of the State Council jointly issued the "Opinions on Severely Cracking Down on Illegal Securities Activities According to Law," or the Opinions, which were made available to the public on July 6, 2021. The Opinions emphasized the need to strengthen the administration over illegal securities activities, and the need to strengthen the supervision over overseas listings by Chinese companies. Given the current PRC regulatory environment, it is uncertain when and whether our PRC subsidiary, will be required to obtain permission from the PRC government in connection with our listing on U.S. exchanges in the future, and even when such permission is obtained, whether it will be denied or rescinded. If we or our subsidiaries do not receive or maintain such permissions or approvals, inadvertently conclude that such permissions or approvals are not required, or applicable laws, regulations, or interpretations change and we are required to obtain such permissions or approvals in the future, it could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer our securities to investors and cause the value of our securities to significantly decline or become worthless.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2024, we had cash of $3,493, as compared to $5,334 as of December 31, 2023, a decrease of $1,841 which was due to decrease of settlement of office expenses.

The following table sets forth a summary of our cash flows for the periods indicated:

		For the Nine Months Ended
		September 30, 2024			September 30, 2023
Net cash used in operating activities		$	(78,849	)		$	(171,907	)
Net cash used in investing activities			-				-
Net cash provided by financing activities			57,582				141,906
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash			19,426				14,255
Net decrease in cash			(1,841	)			(15,746	)
Cash, beginning of period			5,334				20,351
Cash, end of period		$	3,493			$	4,605

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $78,849, as compared to $171,907 for the corresponding prior year period. This was mainly attributable to decrease in accounts receivables and inventories during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Our cash flow projections indicate that our current assets and projected revenues from our existing project will not be sufficient to fund operations over the next twelve months. This raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We intend to rely on the issuance of additional equity and debt securities as well as on our noteholders' exercise of their conversion option to convert our notes to our common stock, in order to fund our operations. However, it may be difficult for us to raise funds in the current economic environment. We cannot give assurance that we will be able to generate sufficient revenue or raise new funds, and our note holders will exercise their conversion option before the note is due. In any such case, we may not be able to continue as a going concern.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $57,582 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to $141,906 for the corresponding prior year period. The decrease was mainly due to decrease in proceeds from short-term loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Loan to subsidiary

These payments reflect that cash provided by proceeds from short-term loans from our Hong Kong subsidiary and transfer of funds among our Hong Kong subsidiaries or BVI subsidiaries. Transfers of funds among our Hong Kong subsidiaries or from our Hong Kong subsidiaries to our BVI subsidiaries are free of restrictions. We may transfer of funds from Hong Kong subsidiaries or BVI subsidiaries to PRC subsidiaries are subject to review and conversion of HK$ or US$ to Renminbi Yuan ("RMB"), which represents the SAFE to monitor foreign exchange activities. Under the existing PRC foreign exchange regulations, payments of current account items, such as profit distributions and trade and service-related foreign exchange transactions, can be made in foreign currencies without prior approval from SAFE by complying with certain procedural requirements with the banks. Currently, we don't have any intention to distribute earnings or settle amounts owed under our operating structure.

All transfers of cash are related to the operations of the subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business. For our Hong Kong subsidiaries, our subsidiary in British Virgin Islands and the holding company ("Non-PRC Entities"), there is no restrictions on foreign exchange for such entities and they are able to transfer cash among these entities, across borders and to US investors. Also, there is no restrictions and limitations on the abilities of Non-PRC Entities to distribute earnings from their businesses, including from subsidiaries to the parent company or from the holding company to the U.S. investors as well as the abilities to settle amounts owed.

We may face difficulties or limitations on our ability to transfer cash to any wholly foreign-owned enterprises: Under PRC laws and regulations, our PRC subsidiaries, as wholly foreign-owned enterprises in China, may pay dividends only out of their respective accumulated after-tax profits as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. In addition, a wholly foreign-owned enterprise is required to set aside at least 10% of its accumulated after-tax profits each year, if any, to fund certain statutory reserve funds, until the aggregate amount of such funds reaches 50% of its registered capital. At its discretion, a wholly foreign-owned enterprise may allocate a portion of its after-tax profits based on PRC accounting standards to discretional funds. These reserve funds and discretional funds are not distributable as cash dividends. Remittance of dividends by a wholly foreign-owned company out of China is subject to examination by the banks designated by SAFE and declaration and payment of withholding tax. Additionally, if our PRC subsidiaries incur debt on their own behalf in the future, the instruments governing their debt may restrict their ability to pay dividends or make other distributions or payments to us. As a holding company, we may rely on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by our subsidiaries, including our PRC subsidiaries, for our cash and financing requirements. However, our PRC subsidiaries will not be able to pay dividends until they generate accumulated profits and meet the requirements described above. Also, PRC may impose greater restrictions on our Hong Kong subsidiaries' abilities to transfer cash out of Hong Kong and to the holding company, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. PRC laws and regulations allow an offshore holding company to provide funding to our wholly owned subsidiary in China only through loans or capital contributions, subject to the filing or approval of government authorities and limits on the amount of capital contributions and loans. Subject to satisfaction of applicable government registration and approval requirements, we may extend inter-company loans to our wholly owned subsidiaries in China or make additional capital contributions to fund their capital expenditures or working capital. For an increase of its registered capital, the subsidiaries need to file such change of registered capital with the MOFCOM or its local counterparts. If the holding company provides funding to its subsidiaries through loans, the total amount of such loans may not exceed the difference between the entity's total investment as approved by the foreign investment authorities and its registered capital. Such loans must be registered with SAFE or its local branches.

The PRC government may continue to strengthen its capital controls and our PRC subsidiaries' dividends and other distributions may be subject to tighten scrutiny in the future. The PRC government also imposes controls on the conversion of RMB into foreign currencies and the remittance of currencies out of the PRC. Therefore, we may experience difficulties in completing the administrative procedures necessary to obtain and remit foreign currency for the payment of dividends from our profits, if any. Furthermore, if our subsidiaries in the PRC incur debt on their own in the future, the instruments governing the debt may restrict their ability to pay dividends or make other payments. There are no other material restrictions on foreign currency restrictions with respect to our ability to transfer payments among our subsidiaries to the holding company and by holding company as a distribution to the holders of the Company. Other than discussed above, we don't have any cash management policies that dictate the amount of such funding among our subsidiaries.

These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the unaudited consolidated financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and we do not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information that would be required to be disclosed in Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including to our Chief Executive Officer to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, our management evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2024. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer concluded that as of September 30, 2024, and as of the date that the evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures was completed, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as a result of the material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting that existed as of such date.

Our management identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, which are indicative of many small companies with small staff that 1) insufficient segregation of duties and effective risk assessment and 2) lack of accounting staff with sufficient US GAAP experience.

Remediation of Material Weakness

We will try our best effort to fulfill our staff shortage. However, current talent availability in market is tough and we need more efforts to compete for staff in the open market.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

We regularly review our system of internal control over financial reporting and make changes to our processes and systems to improve controls and increase efficiency, while ensuring that we maintain an effective internal control environment. Changes may include such activities as implementing new, more efficient systems, consolidating activities, and migrating processes.

There has been no change to our internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
