WETOUCH TECHNOLOGY INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
NOTE 1 — BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
Business
Wetouch Technology Inc. (“Wetouch”, or the “Company”), formerly known as Gulf West Investment Properties, Inc., was originally incorporated in August 1992, under the laws of the state of Nevada.
On October 9, 2020, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with Wetouch Holding Group Limited (“BVI Wetouch”) and all the shareholders of BVI Wetouch (each, a “BVI Shareholder” and collectively the “BVI Shareholders”), to acquire all the issued and outstanding capital stock of BVI Wetouch in exchange for the issuance to the BVI Shareholders an aggregate of shares of our common stock (the “Reverse Merger”). In the Reverse Merger, each ordinary share of BVI Wetouch was exchanged for shares of common stock of Wetouch. Immediately after the closing of the Reverse Merger on October 9, 2020, we had a total of issued and outstanding shares of common stock. As a result of the Reverse Merger, BVI Wetouch is now our wholly-owned subsidiary.
Wetouch Holding Group Limited (“BVI Wetouch”), is a holding company whose only asset, held through a subsidiary, is 100% of the registered capital of Sichuan Wetouch Technology Co. Ltd. (“Sichuan Wetouch”), a limited liability company organized under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“China” or “PRC”). Sichuan Wetouch is primarily engaged in the business of research development, manufacture, and distribution of touchscreen displays to customers both in PRC and overseas. The touchscreen products, which are manufactured by the Company, are primarily for use in computer components.
The Reverse Merger was accounted for as a recapitalization effected by a share exchange, wherein BVI Wetouch is considered the acquirer for accounting and financial reporting purposes. The assets and liabilities of BVI Wetouch have been brought forward at their book value and no goodwill has been recognized. The number of shares, par value amount, and additional paid-in capital in the prior years are retrospectively adjusted according.
Corporate History of BVI Wetouch
Wetouch Holding Group Limited (“BVI Wetouch”) was incorporated under the laws of British Virgin Islands on August 14, 2020. It became the holding company of Hong Kong Wetouch Electronics Technology Limited (“Hong Kong Wetouch”) on September 11, 2020.
Hong Kong Wetouch Technology Limited (“HK Wetouch”), was incorporated as a holding company under the laws of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (“SAR”) on December 3, 2020. On March 2, 2021, HK Wetouch acquired all shares of Hong Kong Vtouch. Due to the fact that Hong Kong Wetouch and HK Wetouch are both under the same sole stockholder, the acquisition is accounted for under common control.
In June, 2021, Hong Kong Wetouch completed its dissolution process pursuant to the minutes of its special shareholder meeting.
Sichuan Wetouch Technology Co. Ltd. (“Sichuan Wetouch”) was formed on May 6, 2011 in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) and became Wholly Foreign-Owned Enterprise in PRC on February 23, 2017. On July 19, 2016, Sichuan Wetouch was 100% held by HK Wetouch.
On December 30, 2020, Sichuan Vtouch Technology Co., Ltd. (“Sichuan Vtouch”) was incorporated in Chengdu, Sichuan, under the laws of the People’s Republic of China.
In March 2021, pursuant to local PRC government guidelines on local environmental issues and the national overall plan, Sichuan Wetouch was under the government directed relocation order, and started its dissolution process which is estimated to be completed by the end of 2022. Sichuan Vtouch took over the operating business of Sichuan Wetouch.
As a result of the above restructuring, HK Wetouch became the sole shareholder of Sichuan Vtouch.

Note 2 — BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted as permitted by rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of Wetouch. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2021, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended.
In the opinion of the management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present a fair statement of the financial position as of June 30, 2022, the results of operations and cash flows for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 have been made. However, the results of operations included in such financial statements may not necessary be indicative of annual results.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, as well as the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
On an ongoing basis, management evaluates the Company’s estimates, including those related to the bad debt allowance, fair values of financial instruments, intangible assets and property and equipment, income taxes, and contingent liabilities, among others. The Company bases its estimates on assumptions, both historical and forward looking, that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities.
Significant Accounting Policies
For a detailed discussion about Wetouch’s significant accounting policies, refer to Note 2 — “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” in Wetouch’s consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s 2021 audited consolidated financial statements.

Overview
We were originally incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada in August 1992. On October 9, 2020, we entered into a share exchange agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with BVI Wetouch and all the shareholders of BVI Wetouch, to acquire all the issued and outstanding capital stock of BVI Wetouch in exchange for the issuance to such shareholders an aggregate of 28 million shares of our common stock (the “Reverse Merger”). The Reverse Merger closed on October 9, 2020. Immediately after the closing of the Reverse Merger, we had a total of 31,396,394 issued and outstanding shares of common stock. As a result of the Reverse Merger, BVI Wetouch is now our wholly-owned subsidiary.
We are engaged in the research, development, manufacturing, sales and servicing of medium to large sized projected capacitive touchscreens, which constitutes our source of revenues through BVI Wetouch, which owns Hong Kong Wetouch, HK Wetouch, Sichuan Wetouch and Sichuan Vtouch. We are specialized in large-format touchscreens, which are developed and designed for a wide variety of markets and used in by the financial terminals, automotive, point of sale (POS), gaming, lottery, medical, human machine interface (HMI), and other specialized industries. Our product portfolio comprises medium to large sized projected capacitive touchscreens ranging from 7.0 inch to 42 inch screens. In terms of the structures of touch panels, we offer (i) Glass-Glass (“GG”), primarily used in GPS/car entertainment panels in mid-size and luxury cars, industrial HMI, financial and banking terminals, POS and lottery machines; (ii) Glass-Film-Film (“GFF”), mostly used in high-end GPS and entertainment panels, industrial HMI, financial and banking terminals, lottery and gaming industry; (iii) Plastic-Glass (“PG”), typically adopted by touchscreens in GPS/entertainment panels motor vehicle GPS, smart home, robots and charging stations; and (iv) Glass-Film (“GF”), mostly used in industrial HMI.

Effects of COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic and resulting global disruptions have affected our businesses, as well as those of our customers and suppliers. To serve our customers while also providing for the safety of our employees and service providers, we have modified numerous aspects of our logistics, transportation, supply chain, purchasing, and after-sale processes. The Company has taken proactive measures to promote products to new customers and entering more regions during the three-month period ended June 30, 2022. The extent of the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition will depend on the virus’ future developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak and the impact on the Company’s customers, which are still uncertain and cannot be reasonably estimated at this point of time.

We generated revenue of $11.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, a decrease of $3.5 million, or 23.0%, compared to $15.2 million in the same period of last year.

(i) Domestic market
For the three months ended June 30, 2022, revenue from domestic market decreased by $1.7 million or 17.3% as a combined result of: (i) a decrease of 12.2% in sales volume and (ii) a decrease of 7.7% in the average RMB selling price of our products, and 1.6% negative impact from exchange rate due to depreciation of RMB against US dollars, compared with those of the same period of last year.
The decrease of 7.7% in the average RMB selling price was mainly due to the Company’s marketing strategy to offer price discount to penetrate into new markets during the three-month period ended June 30, 2022.
The weakening in macroeconomic conditions since the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic continued to exacerbate the touch screen business environment. Since April 2022, the Chinese government imposed a strict virus zero tolerance policy and the Company’s business was negatively impacted and has continued to generate lower revenues during the six months ended June 30, 2022. Although the Company has taken proactive efforts to market new models such as POS touchscreens and penetrate into new customers in new regions, our sales decreased 27.3% in East China, 19.7% in South China, and 7.7% in Southwest China during the three-month period ended June 30, 2022.
(ii) Overseas market
For the three-month period ended June 30, 2022, revenues from overseas market was $3.6 million as compared to $5.4 million of the same period of 2021, decreasing by $1.8 million or 33.3%, mainly due to a decrease of 33.2% in sales volume and a decrease of 3.5% in average selling price.

The Company continued to shift production mix from traditional lower-end products such as touchscreens used in automotive and industrial control computer industries to high-end products such as touchscreens used in POS touchscreens, multi-functional printer touchscreens, and medical touchscreens, primarily due to (i) greater growth potential of computer screen models in China and (ii) the stronger demand and better quality demand from consumers’ recognition of higher-end touch screens made with better raw materials.

We generated revenue of $23.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, a decrease of $2.2 million, or 8.5%, compared to $25.9 million in the same period of last year. This decrease was mainly due to a decrease of 9.8% in sales volume and of 16.8% in the average selling price of our products, and 0.3% negative impact from exchange rate due to depreciation of RMB against US dollars, compared with those of the same period of last year.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, revenue from domestic market decreased by $0.7 million or 4.1% as a combined result of: (i) a decrease of 1.9% in sales volume and (ii) a decrease of 2.7% in the average RMB selling price of our products, and 0.3% negative impact from exchange rate due to depreciation of RMB against US dollars, compared with those of the same period of last year.
As for the RMB selling price, the decrease of 2.7% was mainly due to the Company’s marketing strategy to offer price discount to penetrate into new markets during the six-month period ended June 30, 2022.
The weakening in macroeconomic conditions since the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic continued to exacerbate the touch screen business environment. Since April 2022, the Chinese government imposed a strict virus zero tolerance policy and the Company’s business was negatively impacted and has continued to generate lower revenues during the six months ended June 30, 2022. Although the Company has taken proactive efforts to market new models such as POS touchscreens and penetrate into new customers in new regions, our sales decreased 100.0% in North China, 27.3% in South China, 1.0% in East China, and 0.9% in Southwest China during the six-month period ended June 30, 2022.
(ii) Overseas market
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, revenues from overseas market was $7.5 million as compared to $9.0 million of the same period of 2021, decreasing by $1.5 million or 16.7% mainly due to an increase of 29.0% in sales volume and partially offset by a decrease of 35.3% in the average selling price of our products.

The Company continued to shift production mix from traditional lower-end products such as touchscreens used in automotive and industrial control computer industries to high-end products such as gaming touchscreens, primarily due to (i) greater growth potential of computer screen models in China and (ii) the stronger demand and better quality demand from consumers’ recognition of higher-end touch screens made by better raw materials.

The effective income tax rate for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 differs from the PRC statutory income tax rate of 25% primarily due to non-deductible expenses of $222,651 resulting from gain of changes in fair value of Common Stock Purchase Warrants for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, and Sichuan Wetouch’s preferential income tax rate for the same period of the last year, respectively.
Our PRC subsidiary Sichuan Vtouch had $45.1 million of cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2022, which are planned to be indefinitely reinvested in the PRC. The distributions from our PRC subsidiary are subject to the U.S. federal income tax at 21%, less any applicable foreign tax credits. Due to our policy of indefinitely reinvesting our earnings in our PRC business, we have not provided for deferred income tax liabilities related to PRC withholding income tax on undistributed earnings of our PRC subsidiaries.
Net Income
As a result of the above factors, we had a net income of $5.5 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2022 compared to a net income of $13.4 million in the same period of 2021.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Historically, our primary uses of cash have been to finance working capital needs. We expect that we will be able to meet our needs to fund operations, capital expenditures and other commitments in the next 12 months primarily with our cash and cash equivalents, operating cash flows and bank borrowings.
| 13 |
We may, however, require additional cash resources due to changes in business conditions or other future developments. If these sources are insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain a credit facility. The sale of additional equity or equity-linked securities could result in additional dilution to stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could result in operating and financial covenants that would restrict operations. Financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, or at all.
As of June 30, 2022, we had current assets of $62.2 million, consisting of $45.1 million in cash, $15.3 million in accounts receivable, $0.5 million in inventories, and $1.2 million in prepaid expenses and other current assets. Our current liabilities as of June 30, 2022 were $6.1 million, which is comprised of $1.1 million in income tax payable, $2.1 in accounts payable, $0.9 million in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and $2.0 million in convertible promissory notes payable.
The following is a summary of our cash flows provided by (used in) operating, investing, and financing activities for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $1.5 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $11.1 million provided by operating activities for the same period of the last year, primarily due to (i) the decrease of $7.9 million net income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the same period of 2021, (ii) the increase of $9.0 million of accounts receivable for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, due to slower collection out of the impact of COVID-19 pandemic and Sichuan Wetouch settling customer receivables for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021, (iii) the decrease of $3.1 million of share-based compensation for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021, partially offset by (iv) the decrease of $7.6 million gain on asset disposal for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021, (v) the increase of accounts payable of $1.6 million due to longer payment period, and (vi) the decrease of $0.6 million of deferred income due to Sichuan Wetouch write-off government grant in the operating ceasing process for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021.

The majority of the Company’s revenues and expenses were denominated primarily in Renminbi (“RMB”), the currency of the People’s Republic of China. There is no assurance that exchange rates between the RMB and the U.S. Dollar will remain stable. Inflation has not had a material impact on the Company’s business.
Based on past performance and current expectations, we believe our cash and cash equivalents provided by operating activities and financing activities will satisfy our working capital needs, capital expenditures and other liquidity requirements associated with our operations for at least the next 12 months.

We have no off balance sheet arrangements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.
| 15 |
Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation and subject to the foregoing, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2022 due to the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described below. Because of our limited operations, we have a limited number of employees which prohibits a segregation of duties. In addition, we lack a formal audit committee with a financial expert. As we grow and expand our operations we will engage additional employees and experts as needed. However, there can be no assurance that our operations will expand.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
