Timely Reporting Agreement

To ensure Hunan MYT and 39Pu promptly provide all of the information that Shanghai MYT and the Company need to file various reports with the SEC, a Timely Reporting Agreement was entered between Shanghai MYT, and Hunan MYT and 39Pu, respectively. Under the Timely Reporting Agreement, Hunan MYT and 39Pu each agreed that it is obligated to make its officers and directors available to the Company and promptly provide all information required by the Company so that the Company can file all necessary SEC and other regulatory reports as required.

This Power of Attorney is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable and continuously valid from the date of execution of this Power of Attorney, so long as Peng Fang is a shareholder of Company.

The VIE Agreements became effective immediately upon their execution.

Material terms of the BTB VIE Agreements among BTB Qingdao, BTB Hunan, BTB Hunan Digital and their shareholders are identical to those of Hunan MYT VIE Agreements.

VIE is an entity that have either a total equity investment that is insufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, or whose equity investors lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest, such as through voting rights, right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity or obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity. The variable interest holder, if any, that has a controlling financial interest in a VIE is deemed to be the primary beneficiary and must consolidate the VIE. Shanghai MYT is deemed to have a controlling financial interest and be the primary beneficiary of Hunan MYT and 39Pu, because it has both of the following characteristics:

Pursuant to the VIE Agreements, Hunan MYT and 39Pu pay service fees equal to 100% and 51% of its net income to Shanghai MYT, respectively. At the same time, Shanghai MYT is entitled to receive 100% and 51% of expected residual returns from Hunan MYT and 39Pu, respectively. The VIE Agreements are designed so that Hunan MYT and 39Pu operate for the benefit of the Company. Accordingly, the accounts of Hunan MYT are consolidated in the accompanying financial statements pursuant to ASC 810-10, Consolidation. In addition, their financial positions and results of operations are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In addition, as all of these VIE agreements are governed by PRC law and provide for the resolution of disputes through arbitration in the PRC, they would be interpreted in accordance with PRC law and any disputes would be resolved in accordance with PRC legal procedures. The legal environment in the PRC is not as developed as in other jurisdictions, such as the United States. As a result, uncertainties in the PRC legal system could further limit the Company’s ability to enforce these VIE agreements. Furthermore, these contracts may not be enforceable in China if PRC government authorities or courts take a view that such contracts contravene PRC laws and regulations or are otherwise not enforceable for public policy reasons. In the event the Company is unable to enforce these VIE agreements, it may not be able to exert effective control over Hunan MYT or 39Pu and its ability to conduct its business may be materially and adversely affected.

All of the Company’s main current operations are conducted through Hunan MYT since November 2018, and through 39Pu since October 2019. Current regulations in China permit Hunan MYT and 39Pu to pay dividends to the Company only out of their accumulated distributable profits, if any, determined in accordance with their articles of association and PRC accounting standards and regulations. The ability of Hunan MYT and 39Pu to make dividends and other payments to the Company may be restricted by factors including changes in applicable foreign exchange and other laws and regulations.

The ability of Hunan MYT and 39Pu to make dividends and other payments to the Company may be restricted by factors including changes in applicable foreign exchange and other laws and regulations.

The following financial statement balances and amounts only reflect the financial position and financial performances of the Company’s four VIEs, which were included in the consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

In accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting, operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), or decision making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company uses the “management approach” in determining reportable operating segments. The management approach considers the internal organization and reporting used by the Company’s chief operating decision maker for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the source for determining the Company’s reportable segments. Management, including the chief operating decision maker, reviews operation results by the revenue of different services.

For the year ended June 30, 2021, the Company has three operating business lines, including retail business by provision of high-quality tea beverages in its tea shop chain business conducted by Hunan MYT, dark tea distribution business by 39Pu and planned blockchain business to be conducted by Hunan BTB. Based on management’s assessment, the Company has determined that the three operating business lines are three operating segments as defined by ASC 280.

For the year ended June 30, 2020, the Company has two operating business lines, including retail business by provision of high-quality tea beverages in its tea shop chain business conducted by Hunan MYT, dark tea distribution business by 39Pu. Based on management’s assessment, the Company has determined that the two operating business lines are two operating segments as defined by ASC 280.

For the year ended June 30, 2019, as a result of change in our organizational structure associated with the manufacturing and sales of organic compounds segment as a discontinued operation, the management has determined that the Company operated in one operating segment with one reporting segment which is the retail business by provision of high-quality tea beverages in its tea shop chain business conducted by Hunan MYT.

The Company’s financial statements are presented in the U.S. dollar (US$), which is the Company’s reporting currency and functional currency. The Company’s subsidiaries in the PRC use Renminbi (“RMB”) as their functional currencies. Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded at the functional currency rate ruling at the date of transaction. Any differences between the initially recorded amount and the settlement amount are recorded as a gain or loss on foreign currency transaction in the consolidated statements of income. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are translated at the functional currency rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Any differences are taken to profit or loss as a gain or loss on foreign currency translation in the statements of income.

In accordance with ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters, the Company translated the assets and liabilities into U.S. dollar using the rate of exchange prevailing at the applicable balance sheet date and the statements of income and cash flows are translated at an average rate during the reporting period. Adjustments resulting from the translation are recorded in shareholders’ equity as part of accumulated other comprehensive income.

The Company has adopted ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. It does not require any new fair value measurements, but provides guidance on how to measure fair value by providing a fair value hierarchy used to classify the source of the information. It establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy of valuation techniques based on observable and unobservable inputs, which may be used to measure fair value and include the following:

Classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. As of June 30, 2021 and 2020, the carrying value of financial items of the Company including cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, loan due from third parties, due from a related party, other receivables, trade payables and other payables approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature and are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Short-term investments are held to their maturities and are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.

The inputs used to measure the estimated fair value of warrants are classified as Level 3 fair value measurement due to the significance of unobservable inputs using company-specific information. The valuation methodology used to estimate the fair value of warrant liabilities is discussed in Note 14.

As of June 30, 2021, the Company’s warrant liabilities were comprised of private placement warrants relating to a private placement closed on November 21, 2017 (“private placement warrants”), and the warrants issued to the agent for the registered direct offering on May 24, 2019 (“placement agent warrants”) (Note 14), at the fair value of $27,339, and $38,237, respectively. As of June 30, 2020, the fair value of private placement warrants, registered direct offering warrants and placement agent warrants were $142,092, $895,663, and $112,662, respectively.

Cash and cash equivalents consist of bank deposits with original maturities of three months or less, which are unrestricted as to withdrawal and use the Company maintained accounts at banks.

Short-term investments consist primarily of investments in financial products with variable return rate and maturities between three months and one year. Short-term investments are held to their maturities and are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.

Trade receivables are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The Company extends unsecured credit to its customers in the ordinary course of business but mitigates the associated risks by performing credit checks and actively pursuing past due accounts. An allowance for doubtful accounts is established and recorded based on management’s assessment of potential losses based on the credit history and relationships with the customers. Management reviews its receivables on a regular basis to determine if bad debt allowance is adequate, and adjusts the allowance when necessary. Delinquent account balances are written-off against allowance for doubtful accounts after management has determined that the likelihood of collection is not probable.

The Company considered the amounts of receivables in dispute and believes an allowance for these receivables were not necessary as at June 30, 2021 and 2020.

Inventories are carried at the lower of cost and net realizable value, as determined using the weighted average cost method. Management compares the cost of inventories with the net realizable value and if applicable, an allowance is made for writing down the inventory to its net realizable value, if lower than cost. On an ongoing basis, inventories are reviewed for potential write-down for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventories which equals the difference between the costs of inventories and the estimated net realizable value based upon forecasts for future demand and market conditions. When inventories are written-down to the lower of cost or net realizable value, it is not marked up subsequently based on changes in underlying facts and circumstances.

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. The cost of an item of property and equipment initially recognized includes its purchase price and any cost that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating the manner intended by management. Significant additions or improvements extending useful lives of assets are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method with residual value rate of 5% over the estimated useful lives as follows:

The Company reviews property and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

Costs of repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred and asset improvements are capitalized. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets disposed of or retired are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the consolidated statements of operations.

Purchased intangible assets are recognized and measured at fair value upon acquisition. Separately identifiable intangible assets that have determinable lives continue to be amortized over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method with residual value rate of 5% based on their estimated useful lives as follows:

The Company reviews intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

Long-lived assets are reviewed for recoverability at the lowest level in which there are identifiable cash flows, usually at the store level. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not considered recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset. If the asset is determined not to be recoverable, then it is considered to be impaired and the impairment to be recognized is the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset, determined using discounted cash flow valuation techniques, as defined in ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment.

The Company determined the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset by projecting future revenue and operating expense for each store under consideration for impairment. The estimates of future cash flows involve management judgment and are based upon assumptions about expected future operating performance. The actual cash flows could differ from management’s estimates due to changes in business conditions, operating performance and economic conditions. The Company’s evaluation resulted in no long-lived asset impairment charges during the years ended June 30, 2021, 2020 and 2019.

The investments for which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence are accounted for under the equity method. Under the equity method, original investments are recorded at cost and adjusted by the Company’s share of undistributed earnings or losses of these entities, the amortization of intangible assets recognized upon purchase price allocation and dividend distributions or subsequent investments. All unrecognized inter-company profits and losses have been eliminated under the equity method. When the estimated amount to be realized from the investments falls below its carrying value, an impairment charge is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations when the decline in value is considered other than temporary.

The Company adopted ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) beginning on July 1, 2018 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.

The Company has assessed the impact of the guidance by reviewing its existing customer contracts and current accounting policies and practices to identify differences that will result from applying the new requirements, including the evaluation of its performance obligations, transaction price, customer payments, transfer of control and principal versus agent considerations. Based on the assessment, the Company concluded that there was no change to the timing and pattern of revenue recognition for its current revenue streams in scope of ASC 606 and therefore there was no material changes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption of ASC 606.

In according with ASC 606, revenues are recognized when control of the promised services is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those services.

The Company generated revenues primarily from sales of tea products, beverages and light meals in its tea shop chains by Hunan MYT which commenced in November 2018, and from sales of dark tea products by 39Pu which commenced in October 2019.

Sales of tea products, beverages and light meals in retail shop chains by Hunan MYT

Customers place order and pay for tea products, beverage drinks and light meals in the Company’s tea shop chains. Revenues are recognized at the point of delivery to customers. Customers that purchase prepaid cards are issued additional points for free at the time of purchase. Cash received from the sales of prepaid vouchers are recognized as unearned income. Consideration collected for prepaid cards is equally allocated to each point as an element, including the points issued for free, to determine the transaction price for each point. The allocated transaction price are recognized as revenues upon the redemption of the points for purchases.

Sales of dark tea products by 39Pu

The Company identifies a single performance obligation from contracts. The Company recognizes 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 transaction fees are fixed. Payments received in advance from customers are recorded as “advance from customers” in the consolidated balance sheets. Advance from customers is recognized as revenue when the Company delivers the courses to its customers. Such advance payment received are non-refundable. In cases where fees are collected after the sales, revenue and accounts receivable are recognized upon delivery of products to the Company.

Disaggregation of revenue

The Company disaggregates its revenue from contracts by segments, as the Company believes it best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of the revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. The Company’s disaggregation of revenues for the years ended June 30, 2021, 2020 and 2019 is as follows:

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the U.S. GAAP for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method as required by this accounting standard, the recognition of deferred income tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the income tax basis and financial reporting basis of assets and liabilities. Provision for income taxes consists of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes.

The charge for taxation is based on the results for the year as adjusted for items which are non-assessable or disallowed. It is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax basis. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable income to be utilized with prior net operating loss carried forward. Deferred tax is calculated using tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the income statement, except when it is related to items credited or charged directly to equity. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws of the relevant taxing authorities.

An uncertain tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. Penalties and interest incurred related to underpayment of income tax are classified as income tax expense in the period incurred. The Company did not have unrecognized uncertain tax positions or any unrecognized liabilities, interest or penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefit as of June 30, 2021. As of June 30, 2021, income tax returns for the tax years ended December 31, 2016 through December 31, 2020 remain open for statutory examination by PRC tax authorities.

Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income (loss) per share is the same as basic income (loss) per share due to the lack of dilutive items in the Company for the years ended June 30, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The number of warrants is omitted excluded from the computation as the anti-dilutive effect.

Comprehensive income (loss) includes net income (loss) and other comprehensive foreign currency adjustments income. Comprehensive income (loss) is reported in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income, as presented on the consolidated balance sheets are the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments.

In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to loss contingencies, such as legal proceedings and claims arising out of its business, that cover a wide range of matters, including, among others, government investigations and tax matters. In accordance with ASC No. 450 Subtopic 20, “Loss Contingencies”, the Company records accruals for such loss contingencies when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated.

Share-based awards granted to the Company’s employees and non-employees are measured at fair value on grant date and measurement date, respectively, and share-based compensation expense is recognized (i) immediately at the grant date if no vesting conditions are required, or (ii) using the accelerated attribution method, net of estimated forfeitures, over the requisite service period. The fair value of restricted shares is determined with reference to the fair value of the underlying shares.

At each date of measurement, the Company reviews internal and external sources of information to assist in the estimation of various attributes to determine the fair value of the share-based awards granted by the Company, including but not limited to the fair value of the equity value of the Company, expected life, expected volatility and expected forfeiture rates. The Company is required to consider many factors and make certain assumptions during this assessment. If any of the assumptions used to determine the fair value of the share-based awards changes significantly, share-based compensation expense may differ materially in the future from that recorded in the current reporting period. Moreover, the estimates of fair value of the awards are not intended to predict actual future events or the value that ultimately will be realized by grantees who receive share-based awards, and subsequent events are not indicative of the reasonableness of the original estimates of fair value made by the Company for accounting purposes.

The Company adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), on July 1, 2019, using a modified retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard to leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the consolidated financial statements.

The Company leases its offices which are classified as operating leases in accordance with Topic 842. Under Topic 842, lessees are required to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) on the commencement date: (i) lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and (ii) right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term.

At the commencement date, the Company recognizes the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments not yet paid, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate for the same term as the underlying lease. The right-of-use asset is recognized initially at cost, which primarily comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, plus any initial direct costs incurred, consisting mainly of brokerage commissions, less any lease incentives received. All right-of-use assets are reviewed for impairment. No impairment for right-of-use lease assets as of June 30, 2021.

In accordance with ASU No. 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, a disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity is required to be reported as discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results when the components of an entity meets the criteria in paragraph 205-20-45-1E to be classified as held for sale. When all of the criteria to be classified as held for sale are met, including management, having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell the entity, the major current assets, other assets, current liabilities, and noncurrent liabilities shall be reported as components of total assets and liabilities separate from those balances of the continuing operations. At the same time, the results of all discontinued operations, less applicable income taxes (benefit), shall be reported as components of net income (loss) separate from the net income (loss) of continuing operations in accordance with ASC 205-20-45.

The Company disposed of its manufacturing and sales of organic compounds segment in April 2019, which met all the conditions required in order to be classified as a discontinued operation (Note 1). Accordingly, the operating results of the manufacturing and sales of organic compounds segment are reported as a gain from discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for all periods presented. For additional information, see Note 4, “Disposal of ELITE”.

The Company measures and recognizes asset acquisitions that are not deemed to be business combinations based on the cost to acquire the assets, which includes transaction costs. Goodwill is not recognized in asset acquisitions. In an asset acquisition, the cost allocated to transfer costs of ownership of tea shops is charged to general and administrative expenses at the acquisition date.

The Company accounted for its business combination using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805 “Business Combinations”. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the acquisition date fair values of the assets transferred and liabilities incurred by the Company to the sellers and equity instruments issued. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets and liabilities acquired or assumed are measured separately at their fair values as of the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any non-controlling interests. The excess of (i) the total costs of acquisition, fair value of the non-controlling interests and acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest in the acquiree over (ii) the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the acquiree is recorded as goodwill.

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase consideration over the fair value of the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed of the acquired entity or business as a result of the Company’s acquisitions of interests in its subsidiary. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired. The Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. In the qualitative assessment, the Company considers primary factors such as industry and market considerations, overall financial performance of the reporting unit, and other specific information related to the operations. Based on the qualitative assessment, if it is more likely than not that the fair value of each reporting unit is less than the carrying amount, the quantitative impairment test is performed.

In performing the two-step quantitative impairment test, the first step compares the fair values of each reporting unit to its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of each reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill is not considered to be impaired and the second step will not be required. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step compares the implied fair value of goodwill to the carrying value of a reporting unit’s goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in a manner similar to accounting for a business combination with the allocation of the assessed fair value determined in the first step to the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit. The excess of the fair value of the reporting unit over the amounts assigned to the assets and liabilities is the implied fair value of goodwill. This allocation process is only performed for the purposes of evaluating goodwill impairment and does not result in an entry to adjust the value of any assets or liabilities. Application of a goodwill impairment test requires significant management judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assigning assets, liabilities and goodwill to reporting units, and determining the fair value of each reporting unit.

For the years ended June 30, 2021, 2020 and 2019, the Company did not provide impairment charge against goodwill.

Non-controlling interests represent the equity interests in the subsidiaries that are not attributable, either directly or indirectly, to the Company.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (Topic 326)”, which significantly changes the way entities recognize impairment of many financial assets by requiring immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur over their remaining life, instead of when incurred. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-19, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses”, which amends Subtopic 326-20 (created by ASU No.2016-13) to explicitly state that operating lease receivables are not in the scope of Subtopic 326-20. Additionally, in April 2019, the FASB issued ASU No.2019-04, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments”, in May 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-05, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief”, and in November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842): Effective Dates”, and ASU No. 2019-11, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses”, to provide further clarifications on certain aspects of ASU No. 2016-13 and to extend the nonpublic entity effective date of ASU No. 2016-13. The changes (as amended) are effective for the Company for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and the Company is in the process of evaluating the potential effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740) Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The Board is issuing this Update as part of its initiative to reduce complexity in accounting standards (the Simplification Initiative). The objective of the Simplification Initiative is to identify, evaluate, and improve areas of GAAP for which cost and complexity can be reduced while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to users of financial statements. The specific areas of potential simplification in this Update were submitted by stakeholders as part of the Simplification Initiative. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company expects that the adoption of this ASU will not have a material impact on its financial statements.

The Company believes that other recent accounting pronouncement updates will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Assets that potentially subject the Company to significant concentration of credit risk primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents. The maximum exposure of such assets to credit risk is their carrying amount as at the balance sheet dates. As of June 30, 2021, approximately $19.4 million was deposited with a bank in the United States which was insured by the government up to $250,000. As of June 30, 2021, approximately $1.8 million was primarily deposited in financial institutions located in Mainland China, and each bank accounts is insured by the government authority with the maximum limit of RMB 500,000 (equivalent to approximately $77,400). To limit exposure to credit risk relating to deposits, the Company primarily place cash deposits with large financial institutions in China which management believes are of high credit quality.

The Company’s operations are carried out in Mainland China. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations 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, and the extraction of mining resources, among other factors.

The Company is also exposed to liquidity risk which is risk that it is unable to provide sufficient capital resources and liquidity to meet its commitments and business needs. Liquidity risk is controlled by the application of financial position analysis and monitoring procedures. When necessary, the Company will turn to other financial institutions and the owners to obtain short-term funding to meet the liquidity shortage.

Substantially all of the Company’s operating activities and the Company’s major assets and liabilities are denominated in RMB, except for the cash deposit of approximately $4.9 million which was in U.S. dollars as of June 30, 2021, 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. Where there is a significant change in value of RMB, the gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements of a foreign subsidiary will be significant affected.

It is possible that the Hunan MYT VIE Agreements and 39Pu VIE Agreements would not be enforceable in China if PRC government authorities or courts were to find that such contracts contravene PRC laws and regulations or are otherwise not enforceable for public policy reasons. In the event that the Company were unable to enforce these contractual arrangements, the Company would not be able to exert effective control over the VIE. Consequently, the VIE’s results of operations, assets and liabilities would not be included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. If such were the case, the Company’s cash flows, financial position, and operating performance would be materially adversely affected. The Company’s contractual arrangements among Shanghai MYT, Hunan MYT and the Hunan MYT Shareholders, and among Shanghai MYT, 39Pu and the three shareholders of 39Pu are approved and in place. Management believes that such contracts are enforceable, and considers the possibility remote that PRC regulatory authorities with jurisdiction over the Company’s operations and contractual relationships would find the contracts to be unenforceable.

The Company’s operations and businesses rely on the operations and businesses of Hunan MYT and 39Pu, the VIEs of the Company, each of which holds certain recognized revenue-producing assets including tea beverage related raw materials, lease arrangements, and dark tea products. The VIEs also have an assembled workforce, focused primarily on promotion and marketing, whose costs are expensed as incurred. The Company’s operations and businesses may be adversely impacted if the Company loses the ability to use and enjoy assets held by its VIEs.

The Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations may also be negatively impacted by risks related to natural disasters, extreme weather conditions, health epidemics and other catastrophic incidents, such as the COVID-19 outbreak and spread, which could significantly disrupt the Company’s operations.

On February 9, 2019, the Company, Elite and HG Capital Group Limited entered into certain Share Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser agreed to purchase Elite in exchange of cash purchase price of $1,750,000 (the “Consideration”). The transaction contemplated by the Purchase Agreement is hereby referred as the Disposal. On March 29, 2019, management was authorized to approve and commit to a plan to sell ELITE. On April 13, 2019, the parties completed all the share transfer registration procedure as required by the laws of British Virgin Islands and all the other closing conditions have been satisfied, as a result, the Disposal contemplated by the Purchase Agreement is completed.

In accordance with ASC 205-20-45, Elite met the criteria as a discontinued operation. As of April 13, 2019, the assets relevant to the sale of Elite with a carrying value of $54.2 million were classified as assets held, the liabilities relevant to the sale of Elite with a carrying value of $86.2 million were classified as liabilities held for sale, and the cumulative translation adjustments relevant to the sale of Elite of $4.0 million was removed from the equity component and was reported as a gain on the sale of Elite. A net gain of $37.8 million was recognized as the net gain from disposal of discontinued operation in the year ended June 30, 2019.

The following is a reconciliation of the amounts of major classes of income from operations classified as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the years ended June 30, 2021, 2020 and 2019: 

In November 2018 and January 2019, Hunan MYT entered into one Asset Purchase Agreement with Your Ladyship Tea Beverage Co., Ltd. (“Your Ladyship Tea”) to acquire assets, including inventories, property and equipment, tea shop rental contracts, related to three tea shops, respectively. The total cash consideration was $586,313. As of June 30, 2019, the Company made all consideration to the Your Ladyship Tea. There were no material direct transaction costs related to the transaction.

In allocating the purchase price, the Company recorded all assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value. As the acquisition did not meet the definition of a business combination under FASB ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, the Company accounted for the transaction as an asset acquisition. In an asset acquisition, goodwill is not recognized, but rather any excess consideration transferred over the fair value of the net assets acquired is allocated on a relative fair value basis to the identifiable net assets. 

The Company determined the estimated fair values using Level 3 inputs after review and consideration of relevant information, including quoted market prices and estimates made by management. The inventory was valued using the comparative sales method and the property and equipment and rental contracts were valued using the cost approach. Based on the fair value analysis of the net assets acquired, the fair value of assets acquired are as follows:

On October 2, 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of 51% equity interest in 39Pu, which is engaged in the distribution of dark tea and based in Hunan Province, China. Under the terms of the purchase agreement, the consideration was comprised of cash consideration of $2.4 million and share consideration of 1,000,000 Ordinary Shares, at a per share price of $0.34. In addition, a contingent cash consideration of $0.6 million and a share consideration of 400,000 ordinary shares will be delivered to the three shareholders according to the earn-out payment based on the financial performance of 39Pu in its next fiscal years. On October 17 and 28, 2019, the Company paid the share consideration of 7000,000 Ordinary Shares, which consists of share consideration of 400,000 ordinary shares and 300,000 ordinary shares as cashless settlement of $0.6 million at per unit cost of $5 per share.

As of December 31, 2020, 39Pu’s met financial performance requirement for the 12 months from January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020, accordingly for the three months ended December 31, 2019 not reaching the earn-out payment condition. In addition, due to the effects of COVID-19, the financial performance of 39Pu for the year ended June 30, 2020 did not meet the earn-out payment condition.

The acquisition had been accounted for as a business combination and the results of operations of 39Pu have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from the acquisition date. The Company made estimates and judgments in determining the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities, based on an independent preliminary valuation report and management’s experiences with similar assets and liabilities. The following table summarizes the estimated fair values for major classes of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition, using the exchange rate of 7.1489 on that day. 

The following is a reconciliation of the fair value of major classes of assets acquired and liabilities assumed which comprised of net tangible assets on October 2, 2019.

The amount of operating income and net loss that resulted from the acquisition and included in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) during the year ended June 30, 2020 were $417,705 and $32,301, respectively.

The accounting literature establishes guidelines regarding the presentation of this unaudited pro forma information. Therefore, this unaudited pro forma information is not intended to represent, nor does the Company believe it is indicative of, the consolidated results of operations of the Company that would have been reported had the acquisition been completed as of July 1, 2019. Furthermore, this unaudited pro forma information does not give effect to the anticipated business and tax synergies of the acquisition and is not representative or indicative of the anticipated future consolidated results of operations of the Company.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information reflects the historical results of the 39Pu, adjusted to reflect the acquisition had it been completed as of July 1, 2019. The most significant pro forma adjustments to the historical results of operations relate to the application of purchase accounting for the acquisition. The unaudited pro forma financial information includes various assumptions, including those related to the finalization of the purchase price allocation.

As of June 30, 2021 and 2020, the balance of short-term investments was comprised of investments of various financial products from Chinese banks and financial institutions, with variable return rate and with maturities between three months and one year. The Company classified these financial assets as held-to-maturity financial assets and recorded the assets at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. As of June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company did not provide OTTI on short-term investments.
