On August 17, 2023, Able View Global consummated the transactions contemplated by that certain Business Combination Agreement, dated as of November 21, 2022 (the “Business Combination Agreement”) modified by that certain Waiver Agreement, dated as of June 12, 2023, by and among (i) the Company, (ii) HMAC, (iii) Ableview Cayman, (iv) Merger Sub, and (v) each of the holders of Ableview Cayman’s outstanding shares (collectively, the “Sellers”).
On August 17, 2023, the closing date of the Business Combination (as defined below), pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, (a) HMAC merged with Merger Sub, with HMAC continuing as the surviving entity in the merger (the “Merger”), as a result of which: (i) HMAC became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and (ii) each issued and outstanding security of HMAC immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger was no longer outstanding and automatically cancelled, in exchange for the right of the holder thereof to receive a substantially equivalent security of the Company, and (b) the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Ableview Cayman held by the Sellers in exchange for the Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares of the Company (“Business Combination”). As a result of the above transactions, HMAC and Ableview Cayman each became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

The reverse recapitalization is equivalent to the issuance of securities by the Company for the net monetary assets of HMAC, accompanied by a recapitalization. The Company debited equity for the fair value of the net liabilities of HMAC. In the subsequent financial statements after the Business Combination, the amounts of assets and liabilities for the period before the reverse recapitalization in financial statements, are presented as the Company’s and recognized and measured at their pre-combination carrying amounts.
Disposal of HMAC
On
December 18, 2023, HMAC ceased being a subsidiary of the Company as a result of it being disposed to a third party. HMAC was a holding
company. The management believed the disposal of HMAC does not represent a strategic shift, in both operating and financing aspects,
because it is not changing the way it is running its business. The Company has not shifted the nature of its operations or the major
geographic market area. The management believed the deconsolidation of HMAC does not represent a strategic shift that has (or will have)
a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. The disposal is not accounted for as discontinued operations
in accordance with ASC 205-20. On closing of Business Combination with HMAC, the Company debited equity for the fair value of the net
liabilities of HMAC. On disposal of HMAC, the Company credited additional paid-in capital of $

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Basis of Presentation
The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”).
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial information as of June 30, 2024 and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 has been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC and pursuant to Regulation S-X. Certain information and footnote disclosures, which are normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP, have been omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. The unaudited interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, included in the Form 20-F filed on April 30, 2024.
In the opinion of the management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for a fair presentation of financial results for the interim periods presented. The Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the same accounting policies as used in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.
(b) Basis of consolidation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly and majority owned subsidiaries. All transactions and balances among the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation.
All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.
(c) Use of estimates
The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities on the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, management reviews these estimates and assumptions using the currently available information. Changes in facts and circumstances may cause the Company to revise its estimates. The Company bases its estimates on past experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Estimates are used when accounting for items and matters including, but not limited to, determinations of the useful lives and valuation of long-lived assets, allowances for credit losses for accounts receivable and other receivables, valuation of deferred tax assets, and other provisions and contingencies.
(d) Foreign currency translation
Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing on the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the applicable exchange rates on the date of the balance sheet.
The reporting currency of the Company and its subsidiaries is U.S. dollars (“US$”) and the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been expressed in US$.
In general, for consolidation purposes, assets and liabilities of the Company and its subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the US$, are translated into US$, using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the period. The gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the statement of shareholders’ equity.

(e) Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable are recorded at the gross amount less an allowance for expected credit losses and do not bear interest.
On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”), using the modified retrospective transition method. ASU 2016-13 replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected loss methodology, which will result in more timely recognition of credit losses. Upon adoption, the Company changed the impairment model to utilize a forward-looking current expected credit losses (CECL) model in place of the incurred loss methodology for financial instruments measured at amortized cost and receivables resulting from the application of ASC 606, including contract assets. The adoption of the guidance had no impact on the allowance for credit losses for accounts receivable.
Upon the adoption of ASU 2016-13, the management maintains an allowance for credit losses and records the allowance for credit losses as an offset to accounts receivable and the estimated credit losses charged to the allowance is classified as “General and administrative expenses” in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income. In determining the amount of the allowance for credit losses, the Company considers historical collectability based on past due status, the age of the balances, credit quality of the Company’s customers based on ongoing credit evaluations, current economic conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions, and other factors that may affect the Company’s ability to collect from customers. Delinquent account balances are written-off against the allowance for doubtful accounts after management has determined that the likelihood of collection is not probable. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company determined no allowances for credit losses were necessary for accounts receivable.

(f) Inventories
Inventories,
consisting of cosmetics and other beauty products available for sale, are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost of inventories
is determined using the weighted average cost method. Adjustments are recorded to write down the cost of inventories to the estimated
net realizable value due to damaged goods and slow-moving merchandise, which is dependent upon factors such as historical and forecasted
consumer demand, and promotional environment. The Company takes ownership, risks and rewards of the products purchased. Write-downs are

(g) Revenue recognition
The Company adopted ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) on January 1, 2017, using the modified retrospective approach. ASC 606 establishes principles for reporting information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity’s contracts to provide goods or services to customers. The core principle requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that it expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services recognized as performance obligations are satisfied.
In accordance with ASC 606, revenues are recognized when control of the promised products is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those products. The Company also evaluates whether it is appropriate to record the gross amount of product sales. When the Company is a principal, and the Company obtains control of the specified goods before they are transferred to the customers, the revenues should be recognized in the gross amount of consideration to which it expects to be entitled to in exchange for the specified goods transferred. Revenues are recorded net of value-added taxes.
Sales of cosmetics and other beauty products
For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company generated revenues primarily from selling cosmetics and other beauty products. The Company identifies a single performance obligation from contracts which is the sales of cosmetics and other beauty products. The Company recognizes the product revenues on a gross basis as the Company is acting as a principal in these transactions and is responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified goods, subject to inventory risks and has the discretion in establishing prices. The Company recognizes revenues at a point in time when the control over the cosmetics and other beauty products are transferred to customers.
The Company recognizes revenues net of return allowances and consideration payable to customers when the products are delivered and title is passed to customers. Significant judgement is required to estimate return allowances. For sales with return conditions, the Company reasonably estimates the possibility of return based on the historical experience, changes in judgments on these assumptions and estimates could materially impact the amount of net revenues recognized. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company did not record return allowance because the Company did not expect a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue.

Provision of operation services
The Company also generated revenues from provision of operation services for online stores owned by customers. The operation services cover marketing and promotion of cosmetics products, warehouse management, logistics of products, and customer relationship services. The Company identifies a single performance obligation from contracts. The transaction price is determined by a fixed percentage of sales volume. There were no variable considerations, significant financing components or payments to customers in the agreements with customers. The Company recognizes revenues over time when service is provided. The Company has a right to considerations from the customers in an amount that corresponds directly with the value the Company's performance completed to date. The Company adopted practical expedient under ASC 606-10-55-18, and recognized revenues from provision of operation services based on amounts invoiced to the customers.
Contract balances
The Company classifies its right to consideration in exchange for services transferred to a customer as either a receivable or a contract asset. A receivable is a right to consideration that is unconditional as compared to a contract asset which is a right to consideration that is conditional upon factors other than the passage of time. The Company recognizes accounts receivable in its consolidated balance sheets when it performs a service in advance of receiving consideration and it has the unconditional right to receive consideration. A contract asset is recorded when the Company has transferred services to the customer before payment is received or is due, and the Company’s right to consideration is conditional on future performance or other factors in the contract. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company did not record contract assets.
The Company capitalizes incremental costs incurred to fulfill contracts that (i) relate directly to the contract, (ii) are expected to generate resources that will be used to satisfy the performance obligation under the contract, and (iii) are expected to be recovered through revenue generated under the contract. Provisions for estimated losses, if any, on uncompleted contracts are recorded in the period in which such losses become probable based on the current contract estimates. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had no deferred contract costs.
Contract
liabilities are recognized if the Company receives consideration prior to satisfying the performance obligations, which include customer
advances and deferred revenue under operation service arrangements. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had customer
advances of $

(h) Recently issued accounting standards
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, which is an update to Topic 740, Income Taxes. The amendments in this update related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disclosures improve the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring (1) adding disclosures of pretax income (or loss) and income tax expense (or benefit) to be consistent with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Regulation S-X 210.4-08(h), Rules of General Application—General Notes to Financial Statements: Income Tax Expense, and (2) removing disclosures that no longer are considered cost beneficial or relevant. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. For entities other than public business entities, the amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The amendments in this Update should be applied on a prospective basis. Retrospective application is permitted.
In July 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The amendments in ASU 2023-07 improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The amendments in ASU 2023-07 improve financial reporting by requiring disclosure of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis for all public entities to enable investors to develop more decision-useful financial analyses. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements — codification amendments in response to SEC’s disclosure Update and Simplification initiative which amend the disclosure or presentation requirements of codification subtopic 230-10 Statement of Cash Flows—Overall, 250-10 Accounting Changes and Error Corrections— Overall, 260-10 Earnings Per Share— Overall, 270-10 Interim Reporting— Overall, 440-10 Commitments—Overall, 470-10 Debt—Overall, 505-10 Equity—Overall, 815-10 Derivatives and Hedging—Overall, 860-30 Transfers and Servicing—Secured Borrowing and Collateral, 932-235 Extractive Activities— Oil and Gas—Notes to Financial Statements, 946-20 Financial Services— Investment Companies— Investment Company Activities, and 974-10 Real Estate—Real Estate Investment Trusts—Overall. The amendments represent changes to clarify or improve disclosure and presentation requirements of above subtopics. Many of the amendments allow users to more easily compare entities subject to the SEC’s existing disclosures with those entities that were not previously subject to the SEC’s requirements. Also, the amendments align the requirements in the Codification with the SEC’s regulations. For entities subject to existing SEC disclosure requirements or those that must provide financial statements to the SEC for securities purposes without contractual transfer restrictions, the effective date aligns with the date when the SEC removes the related disclosure from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K. Early adoption is not allowed. For all other entities, the amendments will be effective two years later from the date of the SEC’s removal.
The Company does not believe the above referenced recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material impact on its the unaudited condensed consolidated financial position, statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income and cash flows.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)
(i) Significant risks and uncertainties
1) Credit risk
Assets
that potentially subject the Company to significant concentration of credit risk primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts
receivable and amounts due from related parties. The maximum exposure of such assets to credit risk is their carrying amount as at the
balance sheet dates. As of June 30, 2024, the Company held cash and cash equivalents of $
The risk with respect to accounts receivable and amounts due from related parties is mitigated by credit evaluations the Company performs on its customers and its ongoing monitoring processes of outstanding balances.
Most of the Company’s operations are carried out in Hong Kong, while partial of the Company’s business is conducted in mainland China. As mainland China government has exerted more oversight in Hong Kong, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of income may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environments in the PRC as well as by the general state of the PRC’s economy. In addition, the Company’s business may be influenced by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, rates and methods of taxation among other factors.
2) Foreign currency risk
Substantially all of the Company’s operating activities and the Company’s assets and liabilities are denominated in RMB, which is not freely convertible into foreign currencies. All foreign exchange transactions take place either through the Peoples’ Bank of China (“PBOC”) or other authorized financial institutions at exchange rates quoted by PBOC. Approval of foreign currency payments by the PBOC or other regulatory institutions requires submitting a payment application form together with suppliers’ invoices and signed contracts. The value of RMB is subject to changes in central government policies and to international economic and political developments affecting supply and demand in the China Foreign Exchange Trading System market.

6. OPERATING LEASE
As

The Company determines whether a contract is or contains a lease at inception of the contract and whether that lease meets the classification criteria of a finance or operating lease. When available, the Company uses the rate implicit in the lease to discount lease payments to present value; however, most of the leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate. Therefore, the Company discount lease payments based on an estimate of the incremental borrowing rate.
For operating leases that include rent holidays and rent escalation clauses, the Company recognizes lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term from the date it takes possession of the leased property. The Company records the straight-line lease expense and any contingent rent, if applicable, in general and administrative expenses on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income. The corporate office lease also requires the Company to pay real estate taxes, common area maintenance costs and other occupancy costs which are included in the general and administrative expenses on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income.
The lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.
For short-term leases, the Company records operating lease expense in its unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income on a straight-line basis over the lease term and record variable lease payments as incurred.

As
of June 30, 2024, the Company had net operating loss carrying forwards of $
The Company operates its business through its subsidiaries. The Company does not file consolidated tax returns, therefore, losses from individual subsidiaries may not be used to offset other subsidiaries’ earnings within the Company. Valuation allowance is considered on each individual subsidiary basis.
Uncertain tax positions
In October 2024, Able View Brands (“Brands”) received a comment letter from Hong Kong IRS regarding certain deductible expenses claimed in its annual tax return for the year of 2023. Such expenses were related to intra-group services provided to Brands by certain PRC subsidiaries. Brands is in the process of preparing a response letter to provide supporting evidence to Hong Kong IRS. The deadline for the response is January 25, 2025, after which day the Hong Kong IRS may review the evidence and determine if, and to what extent, the aforementioned expenses can be approved for tax deduction. Based on information available up to date, the Company cannot reasonably assess the outcome of Hong Kong IRS’s review result. Therefore, the financial impact of this matter, if any, cannot be reasonably estimated at present.
Other than the above, as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company did not have any unrecognized uncertain tax positions and the Company does not believe that its unrecognized tax benefits will change over the next twelve months. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not incur any interest and penalties related to potential underpaid income tax expenses.
As of June 30, 2024, the tax years ended December 31, 2019 through 2023 for the Company’s subsidiaries in the PRC are generally subject to examination by the PRC tax authorities.

If the Company calls the warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement. The exercise price and number of ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a share dividend, extraordinary dividend or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of ordinary shares at a price below its exercise price.

We do not generate revenue directly through our brand management services and the service cost is regarded as cost of sales undertaken by us. Instead, we generate revenue from the sales of the products of our brand partners. Any services that we provide to our brand partners in connection with the arrangements with our brand partners is factored into our overall budget when we resell the brand partners’ products to consumers in China. We sell products to three groups: (i) online marketplaces (ii) distributors (iii) directly to end consumers from e-commerce stores operated by us. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, net revenue from product sales came to $60.9 million and $79.3 million, respectively. In the same time periods, we incurred net loss from operations of $6.3 million and net income from operations of $8.1 million, respectively.
Recent Development
In September 2024, we entered into Convertible Note Purchase Agreements (the “Agreements”) with three (3) non-U.S. investors (the “Purchasers”).
Pursuant to the Agreements, we issued and sold to the Purchasers convertible notes (the “Notes”) with aggregate principal amount of US$5,000,000, interest rate of 8% per annum, with an original issue discount of 20%, and maturity of three (3) years. The Notes are convertible into Class B Ordinary Shares (the “Conversion Shares”) at the option of the Purchasers, at a conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) of the higher of (i) 75% of the lowest volume-weighted average trading price of the Class B Ordinary Shares during the ten (10) latest consecutive business days preceding the conversion, or (ii) $0.6 per Class B Ordinary Share. In addition, we will issue the Purchasers certain conversion warrants upon the conversion of the Notes, with each warrant eligible to purchase one (1) Class B Ordinary Share per Conversion Share (the “Conversion Warrants”), and the exercise price of such Conversion Warrants the same as the Conversion Price of the Notes. As of the date of this report, the Company has collected proceeds from the Notes. On November 20, 2024, the Company received conversion notice from the Purchasers. On November 25, 2024, the Company issued an aggregation of 7,751,939 Class B Ordinary Shares and 7,751,939 Conversion Warrants to three Purchasers at conversion price of $0.645 per share.
Factors Affecting Results of Operations
Our business, financial condition and results of operations have been, and are expected to continue to be, affected by a number of factors, which primarily include the following:
Overall economic and political conditions
Our business, financial condition and results of operations are sensitive to changes in overall economic and political conditions that affect consumer spending in China. In addition, the retail industry is highly sensitive to general economic changes. Many factors outside of our control, including inflation and deflation, interest rates, volatility of equity and debt securities markets, and other government policies can adversely affect consumer confidence and spending. The domestic and international political environments, including global inflation and uncertain financial markets or at all, could in turn adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
31
Our ability to retain our existing brand partners
We provide service to help distribute and sell cross-border products from various global brand owners through e-commerce platforms for brand partners primarily pursuant to contractual arrangements with a term typically ranging from 12 to 36 months. Although we are fairly confident that we will be able to renew the contracts with these brand partners, there is possibility that these contracts may not be renewed or, if renewed, may not be renewed under the same or more favorable terms for us. We may not be able to accurately predict future trends in brand partners renewals, and our brand partners’ renewal rates may decline or fluctuate due to factors such as level of satisfaction with our capacities, as well as factors beyond our control, such as level of competition faced by our brand partners, their level of success in e-commerce and their spending levels.
Our ability to maintain our relationships with distribution channels
We generate a substantial majority of our revenues from the product sales on e-commerce channels, including marketplaces, social media and other emerging e-commerce channels. These e-commerce channels have no obligation to do business with us or to allow us to have access to their channels in the long term. If we fail to maintain our relationships with these channels, they may decide at any time and for any reason to significantly curtail or inhibit our ability to integrate our brand management capabilities with their channels. We have annual platform service agreements with major online marketplaces, which may not be renewed in the future. A majority of our platform service agreements have been renewed on an annual basis. We endeavor to timely renew those platform service agreements before their expiration.
Additionally, these channels may decide to make significant changes to their respective business models, policies, systems or plans, and those changes could impair or inhibit our ability or our partners’ ability to sell their products on those channels, or may adversely affect the amount of GMV on those channels, or otherwise reduce the desirability of selling on those channels. Further, any of these channels could decide to acquire capabilities that would allow them to compete with us. If we are unable to adapt to new e-commerce channels as they emerge, our value may be less attractive to our partners. Any of these developments could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
Our ability to manage our inventory
We assume inventory ownership of the products of some of our brand partners and thus are subject to inventory risk. We deploy different strategies to deal with non-seasonal and seasonal demands and make adjustments to our procurement plan in order to minimize the chance of excess unsold inventory and manage our product costs. Demand for products, however, can change significantly between the time inventory is ordered and the date by which we target to sell it. Demand may be affected by seasonality, new product launches, fashion trends, changes in product cycles and pricing, product defects, changes in consumer spending patterns and habits, changes in consumer tastes with respect to our products and other factors. In addition, when we begin selling a new product, it may be difficult to determine appropriate product selection and accurately forecast demand.
Our ability to respond to rapid changes in channel technologies or requirements
The e-commerce marketplaces that we operate in are characterized by rapid technological changes and frequent changes in rules, specifications and other requirements for our brand partners to be able to sell their merchandise on particular channels. Our ability to retain and attract brand partners depends in large part on our ability to improve our existing capabilities and introduce new marketing and sales operation that can adapt quickly to the emerging channels, such as Douyin and Xiaohongshu, and these changes in channel technologies. To achieve market acceptance for our operations, we must effectively anticipate and offer operations that meet emerging channels and frequently changing channel requirements in a timely manner. If we fail to do so, our ability to renew our contracts with existing brand partners will be impaired.

Revenues
We generate revenues from (i) sales of beauty and personal care products of international brands over multiple sales channels, and (ii) rendering operations services for online stores owned by cosmetics brands. Our revenues decreased by $18.9 million, or 23% from $81.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 to $62.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily caused by a decrease of $18.4 million in sales of cosmetics and other beauty products and a decrease of $0.5 million in provision of operation services, respectively. The decrease in sales of cosmetics and other beauty products was primarily caused by a decrease in demand from our customers which was affected by downward macroeconomic environment.
Cost of revenues
Our cost of revenues was primarily comprised of purchase of beauty and personal care products from our brand partners, and staff cost and warehouse and logistic expenses related to provision of operation services. Our cost of revenue decreased by $4.0 million, or 6% from $62.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 to $58.0 million for the same period of 2024. The decrease was primarily caused by a decrease of orders from our customers, partially offset by an increase of inventory write down of $4.9 million. However the percentage of decrease in cost of revenues was lower than the percentage of decrease in revenues, which was primarily because an increase in unit purchase price of cosmetics products.

B. Liquidity and Capital Resources
To date, we have financed our operating and investing activities primarily through cash generated from operating activities, borrowings from financial institutions, third parties and related parties. As of June 30, 2024, our cash and cash equivalents were $9.1 million. Our cash and cash equivalents primarily consist of cash and time deposits with terms of three months or less. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we reported revenues of $62.8 million and $81.7 million, respectively.
Our results of operations are slightly affected due to the supply chain disruptions. Our inventory turnover days were 55 days and 51 days in the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. In addition, the turnover days for accounts receivable for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were 39 days and 42 days, respectively. We generally granted our customers credit term ranging between 30 days and 90 days.
We do not believe we have a material collection risk under our business model that will have a negative impact on collectability, and we do not have significant written-off occurred historically. Therefore, we do not have substantial doubt on the collectability of the remaining accounts balances, and we do not provide allowance against accounts receivable as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
On March 22, 2024, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with High West Capital Partners, LLC (the “Lender”), pursuant to which the Lender agrees to lend to the Company (the “Loan”) amounts to be extended in four tranches. The amount of each tranche of the Loan is adjusted depending on the trading price of the Company’s Class B Ordinary Shares. The first tranche, extended on March 28, 2024, provides the Company with loan proceeds of approximately $0.63 million; the second tranche, extended on April 9, 2024, provides the Company with loan proceeds of approximately $1.01 million; the third and final tranche, both extended on April 18, 2024, provides the Company with loan proceeds of approximately $1.24 million. Each tranche of the Loan has a maturity of five years from the date the tranche is extended and an interest of 5.05% per annum to be paid by the Company to the Lender in semi-annual installments. The Loan Agreement contains other customary provisions, and is governed by the laws of Hong Kong.
In September 2024, we entered into Convertible Note Purchase Agreements (the “Agreements”) with three (3) non-U.S. investors (the “Purchasers”). Pursuant to the Agreements, we issued and sold to the Purchasers convertible notes (the “Notes”) with aggregate principal amount of US$5,000,000, interest rate of 8% per annum, original issue discount of 20%, and maturity of three (3) years. The Notes are convertible into Class B Ordinary Shares (the “Conversion Shares”) at the option of the Purchasers, at a conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) of the higher of (i) 75% of the lowest volume-weighted average trading price of the Class B Ordinary Shares during the ten (10) latest consecutive business days preceding the conversion, or (ii) $0.6 per Class B Ordinary Share. In addition, we issued the Purchasers certain conversion warrants upon the conversion of the Notes, with each warrant eligible to purchase one (1) Class B Ordinary Share per Conversion Share (the “Conversion Warrants”), with the exercise price of such Conversion Warrants the same as the Conversion Price of the Notes. As of the date of this report, the Company has collected proceeds from the Notes. On November 20, 2024, the Company received conversion notice from the Purchasers, and on November 25, 2024, the Company issued an aggregation of 7,751,939 Class B Ordinary Shares and 7,751,939 Conversion Warrants to three Purchasers at conversion price of $0.645 per share.
We believe that our current cash and cash equivalents and our anticipated cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet our anticipated working capital requirements and capital expenditures for the next 12 months. If we determine that our cash requirements exceed the amount of cash and cash equivalents we have on hand at the time, we may seek to issue equity or debt securities or obtain credit facilities. The issuance and sale of additional equity would result in further dilution to our shareholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased fixed obligations and could result in operating covenants that might restrict our operations. We cannot assure you that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, 14% and 22% of our revenues have been in the form of Renminbi. We expect the portion of revenues in the form of Renminbi is likely to remain. Under existing PRC foreign exchange regulations, payments of current account items, including profit distributions, interest payments and trade and service-related foreign exchange transactions, can be made in foreign currencies without prior SAFE approval as long as certain routine procedural requirements are fulfilled. Therefore, our PRC Operating Entities are allowed to pay dividends in foreign currencies to us without prior SAFE approval by following certain routine procedural requirements. However, current PRC regulations permit our PRC Operating Entities to pay dividends to us only out of its accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with Chinese accounting standards and regulations. Our PRC Operating Entities are required to set aside at least 10% of its after-tax profits after making up previous years’ accumulated losses each year, if any, to fund certain reserve funds until the total amount set aside reaches 50% of its registered capital. These reserves are not distributable as cash dividends. Historically, our PRC Operating Entities have not paid dividends to us, and they will not be able to pay dividends until they generate accumulated profits. Furthermore, capital account transactions, which include foreign direct investment in and loans to our PRC Operating Entities, must be approved by and/or registered with SAFE, its local branches and certain local banks.
As a Cayman Islands exempted company and offshore holding company, the Cayman holding company is permitted under PRC Laws and regulations to provide funding to our PRC Operating Entities only through loans or capital contributions, subject to the approval, filings or registration of government authorities and limits on the amount of capital contributions and loans. This may delay us from using the proceeds from any future offering to make loans or capital contributions to our PRC Operating Entities.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Foreign Exchange Risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk of loss resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Fluctuations in exchange rates between the RMB and other currencies in which we conduct business may affect our financial position and results of operations.
Our functional currency is U.S. dollar, and we had three subsidiaries which are operating in Hong Kong with functional currency of Hong Kong dollar. We are mainly exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from our cash and cash equivalents dominated in RMB.
In addition, we have four subsidiaries which are operating in mainland China with all of the transactions settled in RMB. We consider that our business in mainland China is not exposed to any significant foreign exchange risk as there are no significant financial assets or liabilities of these subsidiaries denominated in the currencies other than the functional currency.
Interest Rate Risk
Our exposure to interest rate risk primarily relates to the interest income generated by excess cash, which is mostly held in interest-bearing bank deposits and financial products purchased from financial institutions. Interest-earning instruments carry a degree of interest rate risk. We have not been exposed to material risks due to changes in interest rates, and we have not used any derivative financial instruments to manage our interest risk exposure.

C. Research and Development, patent and licenses, etc.
We have not engaged in any research and development activities since inception.
D. Trend Information
Other than as disclosed above and elsewhere in this Report, we are not aware of any trends, uncertainties, demands, commitments or events that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on our revenues, net income, profitability, liquidity or capital resources, or that would cause reported financial information not necessarily to be indicative of future operating results or financial condition.
E. Critical Accounting Estimates
We prepare our financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires our management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions. We continually evaluate these judgments, estimates and assumptions based on our own historical experience, knowledge and assessment of current business and other conditions, our expectations regarding the future based on available information and various assumptions that we believe to be reasonable, which together form our basis for making judgments about matters that are not readily apparent from other sources. Since the use of estimates is an integral component of the financial reporting process, our actual results could differ from those estimates. Some of our accounting policies require a higher degree of judgment than others in their application.
The selection of critical accounting policies, the judgments and other uncertainties affecting application of those policies and the sensitivity of reported results to changes in conditions and assumptions are factors that should be considered when reviewing our financial statements. We believe the following accounting policies involve the most significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements. You should read the following description of critical accounting policies, judgments and estimates in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and other disclosures included herein. Out of our significant accounting policies, which are described in Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report, certain accounting policies are deemed “critical”, as they require management’s highest degree of judgment, estimates and assumptions, including (i) accounts receivable, (ii) revenue recognition (iii) income tax and (iv) inventories.
We consider an accounting estimate to be critical if: (i) the accounting estimate requires us to make assumptions about matters that were highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimate was made, and (ii) changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur from period to period or use of different estimates that we reasonably could have used in the current period, would have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. We believe the following accounting estimates involve the most significant judgments used in the preparation of our financial statements.
Allowance for credit losses for accounts receivable
Accounts receivables are recorded net of an allowance for credit losses. The Company’s estimation of allowance for credit losses considers factors such as on past due status, the age of the balances, credit quality of the Company’s customers based on ongoing credit evaluations, current economic conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions, as well as an assessment of receivables due from specific identifiable counterparties to determine whether these receivables are considered at risk or uncollectible. The Company evaluates its accounts receivable for expected credit losses on a regular basis. The Company maintains an estimated allowance for credit losses to reduce its accounts receivable to the amount that it believes will be collected. The Company considers factors in assessing the collectability of its receivables, such as the age of the amounts due, the customer’s payment history, credit-worthiness and other specific circumstances related to the accounts. The Company adjusts the allowance percentage periodically when there are significant differences between estimated bad debts and actual bad debts. If there is strong evidence indicating that the accounts receivable is likely to be unrecoverable, the Company also makes specific allowance in the period in which a loss is determined to be probable. Accounts receivable balances are written off after all collection efforts have been exhausted. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we determined no allowances for credit losses were necessary for accounts receivable.
43
The allowance is based on our management’s best estimates of specific losses on individual exposures and a provision on historical trends of collections. The allowance rate will fluctuate based upon the changes of the historical allowance rate and our management’s estimate. If actual conditions are less favorable than those projected by the management, additional doubtful accounts may be required, which could negatively impact our operating results. If actual conditions are more favorable than those projected by the management, we may have a higher profit margin when account receivable balances that have been previously reserved are eventually collected.
Inventory write-down
We regularly evaluate inventory to ensure it is carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value (“NRV”). NRV is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and selling expenses. The determination of NRV involves judgment regarding future demand, market conditions, and product lifecycle. Fluctuations in these factors could lead to write-downs or reversals of previous write-downs. We assess inventory for obsolescence or excess quantities based on historical trends, projected demand, and the age of inventory. Adjustments to the carrying value are made if it is determined that inventory is unlikely to be sold at or above cost. Changes in market demand or production schedules could materially affect these estimates.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company provided inventory writing-downs of $4,875,506 and $nil, respectively, for slow-moving cosmetics products.
Valuation of deferred tax assets
Deferred income taxes are provided using assets and liabilities method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined on the basis of the differences between financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, the management consider all positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of projected future taxable income and results of recent operation. Deferred tax assets are then reduced by a valuation allowance through a charge to income tax expense when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that a portion of or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the cumulative earnings and projected future taxable income in making this assessment. Recovery of substantially all of the Company’s deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future income, exclusive of reversing taxable temporary differences. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are recoverable, allowances of deferred tax assets of $28,342 and $30,410 were provided for the Company’s certain subsidiaries with continuous losses as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were net operating losses carryforwards of approximately $14.5 million and $10.0 million in certain subsidiaries, respectively. Most of the net operating tax loss carryforwards will expire from calendar years 2026 through 2029.
