NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS
Organization
WeTrade Group, Inc was incorporated in the State of Wyoming on March 28, 2019 and is in the business of providing technical services and solutions via its social e-commerce platform. We are committed to providing an international cloud-based intelligence system and independently developed a micro-business cloud intelligence system called the “YCloud.” Our goal is to provide technical and auto-billing management services to micro-business online stores in China through big data analytics, machine learning mechanisms, social network recommendations, and multi-channel data analysis.
We
provide technology services to both individual and corporate users. We provide access to “YCloud” to our
The
market of individual micro-business owners represents a potential of
The main functions of the YCloud system include assisting users in managing its marketing relationships, CPS commission profit management, multi-channel data statistics, AI fission and management, and improving supply chain systems.
Currently, YCloud serves the micro business industries such as tourism, hospitality, livestreaming and short video, medical beauty and traditional retail industries.
Our Business
We have utilized digitalization, electronic management, electronic data exchange, big data analysis, AI fission technology, revenue management and other technologies to build a strong coordination effect. We believe that our cloud technology enables us to develop a highly functional platform for micro-business users in China. In developing YCloud, we have optimized our products using the tools and platforms best suited to serve our customers.
5
We believe that YCloud is the first global micro-business cloud intelligent internationalization system. It conducts multi-channel data analysis through the learning of big data and social recommendation. It also provides users with AI fission, management systems and supply chain systems to reach a wider range of user groups. YCloud has the following four main functions and competitive advantages:
Multiple integrated payment methods and payment analytics: the YCloud system provides micro-businesses and hotel owners with multiple payment methods such as Alipay, WeChat, and UnionPay. The total order amount is directly entered into the platform to collect funds in separate accounts. Meanwhile, YCloud assigns a bar code to merchandises that purchasers can scan to pay, which allows purchasers to make payments both online and offline.
| ● | Single-scenario payment function: although micro-business owners are provided with a multi-method payment function for their consumers through the YCloud system, micro-business owners only have a single sales channel to display. The revenue of each sale is divided by commissions, and the cost is allocated to suppliers and the handling fee to the YCloud system. The remaining balance goes to micro-business owners. | |
| ● | Multi-scenario payment function: micro-business owners have multiple sales channels to display and numerous channels to perform revenue sharing and profit consolidation functions. After various products are sold through different channels, the cost are allocated to suppliers and the handling fee are allocated to the YCloud system. The remaining balance will be combined and goes to micro-business owners. |
During the year 2020, due to the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak, many companies, including businesses traditionally operating offline, from a wide range of industries, such as tourism, catering, entertainment or retail, have opted for a micro-business model to build sales channels through online social platforms and expand business opportunities. As a result of the COVID-19 outbreak, consumer demand shifted, forcing business owners to expand to new markets and be present on multiple social platforms. Through continuous research on the micro-business industry, combined with understanding of social relationships on social platforms, YCloud develops new technology designed to meet the ever changing demand of micro-business owners across all industries.
Team management: the YCloud system utilizes user marketing relationship tracking and CPS commission revenue management tools.
AI fission and management: using intelligent robots to analyze user behavior, data sharing, purchase history, and other data, YCloud system provides tailored recommendations and displays. For example, YCloud system connects users’ behavior across multiple apps and platforms and makes automatic recommendations based on its analysis.
Supply chain system integration: the YCloud system applies cross-platform resource integration technology. The integration allows the multi-channel output of high-quality products and creates a seamless connection between suppliers and customers. The YCloud provides a complete supply chain system integrating supply, sales, finance, and service.
The following diagram sets forth the structure of the Company as of the date of this Quarterly Report:
Our business and corporate address in the United States is 1621 Central Ave, Cheyenne, WY 82001. Our telephone number is +86-13795206876 and our registered agent for service of process is Wyoming Registered Agent, 1621 Central Ave, Cheyenne, WY 82001. Our fiscal year end is December 31.

Revenue recognition
The Company follows the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, Revenue from Contracts. ASC 606 creates a five-step model that requires entities to exercise judgment when considering the terms of contracts, which includes (1) identifying the contracts or agreements with a customer, (2) identifying our performance obligations in the contract or agreement, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the separate performance obligations, and (5) recognizing revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the services it transfers to its clients.
8
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity period of three months or less to be cash or cash equivalents. The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents approximate their fair value. All of the Company’s cash that is held in bank accounts in Singapore, Hong Kong and PRC are not protected by Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance.
Foreign Currency
The
Company’s principal country of operations is the PRC. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are
presented in US$. The functional currency of the Company is US$, and the functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries is
RMB. The condensed consolidated financial statements are translated into US$ from RMB at year-end exchange rates as to assets and
liabilities and average exchange rates as to revenues and expenses. Capital accounts are translated at their historical exchange
rates when the capital transactions occurred. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a component of
shareholders’ equity included in other comprehensive income. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included
in profit or loss.

The balance sheet amounts, with the
exception of equity, June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were translated at
Consolidation
The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Group and subsidiaries. All transactions and balances among the Group and its subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make judgement estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Management believes that the estimates used in preparing the financial statements are reasonable and prudent; however, actual results could differ from these estimates. Significant accounting estimates include the allowance for doubtful accounts, useful lives of intangible asset, valuation of deferred tax assets, and certain accrued liabilities such as contingent liabilities.
9
Property and Equipment, Net
| Office equipment | |||
| Leasehold improvements |
Upon sale or disposal of an asset, the historical cost and related accumulated depreciation or amortization of such asset were removed from their respective accounts and any gain or loss is recorded in the statements of income.
The Company reviews the carrying value of property and equipment for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. In cases where undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized equal to an amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of assets. The factors considered by management in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends and prospects, the manner in which the property is used, and the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition and other economic factors. Based on this assessment, no impairment expenses for property and equipment were recorded in operating expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.
Concentration of Risk
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and equivalents and accounts receivable. Cash on hand amounted to $
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivables are presented net of allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company uses specific identification in providing for bad debts when facts and circumstances indicate that collection is doubtful and based on factors listed in the following paragraph. If the financial conditions of its customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowance may be required.
The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts which reflects its best estimate of amounts that potentially will not be collected. The Company determines the allowance for doubtful accounts on general basis taking into consideration various factors including but not limited to historical collection experience and credit-worthiness of the customers as well as the age of the individual receivables balance. Additionally, the Company makes specific bad debt provisions based on any specific knowledge the Company has acquired that might indicate that an account is uncollectible. The facts and circumstances of each account may require the Company to use substantial judgment in assessing its collectability.
10
Intangible Asset, Net
Intangible
asset is software development cost incurred by the Company and it will be amortized on a straight line basis over the estimated
useful life of
Leases
The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (ASU 2016-02), and generally requires lessees to recognize operating and financing lease liabilities and corresponding right-of-use (ROU) assets on the balance sheet and to provide enhanced disclosures surrounding the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leasing arrangements.
Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and short-term and long-term lease liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included in property and equipment, other current liabilities, and other long-term liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
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 at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of the leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use the industry incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. We use the implicit rate when readily determinable. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. The lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
ASU 2016-02 requires that public companies use a secured incremental browning rate for the present value of lease payments when the rate implicit in the contract is not readily determinable. We determine a secured rate on a quarterly basis and update the weighted average discount rate accordingly.
Software Development Costs
We apply ASC 985-20, Software—Costs of Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Marketed, in analyzing our software development costs. ASC 985-20 requires the capitalization of certain software development costs subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility for a software product in development. Research and development costs associated with establishing technological feasibility are expensed as incurred. Based on our software development process, technological feasibility is established upon the completion of a working model. In addition, we apply this to our review of development projects related to software used exclusively for our SaaS subscription offerings. In these reviews, all costs incurred during the preliminary project stages are expensed as incurred. Once the projects have been committed to and it is probable that the projects will meet functional requirements, costs are capitalized.
11
Income Tax
Income taxes are determined in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC Topic 740”). Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the periods in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Any effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
ASC
740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in their financial statements
uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740, tax positions must initially be recognized in the
financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax
positions must initially and subsequently be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than
The Company has subsidiaries in Singapore and PRC. The Company is subject to tax in Singapore and PRC jurisdictions. As a result of its future business activities, the Company will be required to file tax returns that are subject to examination by the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore and Tax Department of PRC.
Loss Per Share
Basic net income per share of common stock attributable to common stockholders is calculated by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Potentially dilutive shares, which are based on the weighted-average shares of common stock underlying outstanding stock-based awards, warrants, options, or convertible debt using the treasury stock method or the if-converted method, as applicable, are included when calculating diluted net income (loss) per share of common stock attributable to common stockholders when their effect is dilutive.
Potential dilutive securities are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS in profit periods as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

Fair Value Measurements
The Company follows guidance for accounting for fair value measurements of financial assets and financial liabilities and for fair value measurements of nonfinancial items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. Additionally, the Company adopted guidance for fair value measurement related to non-financial items that are recognized and disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a non-recurring basis. The guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value.

The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to measurements involving significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The carrying amounts of financial assets such as cash approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2023, we had cash on hand of $20,004,914. The increase is mainly due to the fact that the Company has uplisted its common stock to the Nasdaq Capital Market with the public offering of 10,000,000 shares of common stock with the net proceeds of $37,057,176 after deducting the total offering cost of $2,942,824 in July 2022.

Financing activities
Cash provided by our financing activities was 982,207 for the period ended June 30, 2023 as compared to cash provided by financing activities of $230,832. The increase is mainly due to addition advances from shareholders during the period.
Inflation
Inflation does not materially affect our business or the results of our operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies
We prepare our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States (“GAAP”). GAAP represents a comprehensive set of accounting and disclosure rules and requirements. The preparation of our financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Our actual results could differ from those estimates. We use historical data to assist in the forecast of our future results. Deviations from our projections are addressed when our financials are reviewed on a monthly basis. This allows us to be proactive in our approach to managing our business. It also allows us to rely on proven data rather than having to make assumptions regarding our estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
We have reviewed all the recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and we do not believe any of these pronouncements will have a material impact on the Company financial statements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K, and as such are not required to provide the information contained in this item pursuant to Item 305 of Regulation S-K.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
With respect to the period ended June 30, 2023, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operations of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Based upon our evaluation regarding the period ended June 30, 2023, the Company’s management, including its Principal Executive Officer, has concluded that its disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the Company’s limited internal resources and lack of ability to have multiple levels of transaction review. Material weaknesses noted are lack of an audit committee, lack of a majority of outside directors on the board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; and management is dominated by two individuals, without adequate compensating controls. However, management believes the financial statements and other information presented herewith are materially correct.
Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2023. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control - Integrated Framework - Guidance for Smaller Public Companies (the COSO criteria). Based on our assessment, management identified material weaknesses related to: (i) our internal audit functions; (ii) a lack of segregation of duties within accounting functions; and the lack of multiple levels of review of our accounting data. Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that as of June 30, 2023, we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with any policies and procedures may deteriorate. Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. To the extent possible, we will implement procedures to assure that the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions will be performed by separate individuals. With proper funding we plan on remediating the significant deficiencies identified above, and we will continue to monitor the effectiveness of these steps and make any changes that our management deems appropriate.
A material weakness is a control deficiency (within the meaning of Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Auditing Standard No. 5) or combination of control deficiencies, that results in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
On June 9, 2023, the Wyoming Secretary of State approved the Company’s certificate of amendment to amend its Articles of Incorporation to effect 1 for 185 Reverse Stock Split. The total issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock decreased from 195,057,503 to 1,054,364 shares, with the par value unchanged at zero.
The Reverse Stock Split is intended to more expediently enable the Company to regain compliance to achieve a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share for continued listing on Nasdaq, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Requirement”). As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every one-for-one hundred and eighty-five (185) shares of the Company’s Common Stock then issued and outstanding will automatically, and without any action of the Company or any holder thereof, be combined, converted, and changed into one (1) validly issued and non-assessable share of Common Stock. No fractional shares will be issued to any shareholder, and in lieu of issuing any such fractional shares, the fractional shares resulting from the Reverse Stock Split will be rounded up to the nearest whole share of Common Stock.
