NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE
1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
We
were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on September 9, 2005 under the name of JML Holdings, Inc. and we subsequently
merged with Baoshinn International Express, Inc. and changed our name to Baoshinn Corporation on January 10, 2006. We changed our name
to Green Standard Technologies, Inc. on June 17, 2015 and on May 19, 2016, we changed our name to ZZLL Information Technology, Inc. (the
“Company”).
On
April 23, 2013, we formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Syndicore Asia Limited (“SAL”) under the laws of Hong Kong. SAL has
had limited operating activities since incorporation except for holding our ownership interest in Hunan Syndicore Asia Limited (“HSAL”),
an e-Commerce company organized under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”).
On
August 18, 2016, we entered into a joint venture agreement with Network Service Management Limited (“NSML”) to form Z-Line
International E-Commerce Company Limited (“Z-Line”) under the laws of Hong Kong. We initially owned 55% and NSML owned 45%
of the equity interest in Z-Line, which was formed to provide consumer-to-consumer, business-to-consumer and business-to-business-sales
services via web portals. On October 8, 2019, we acquired the remaining 45% equity interest in Z-Line from NSML and Z Line became a wholly
owned subsidiary of our company. Z-Line has had limited operating activities since incorporation.
On
May 23, 2020, we formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Shenzhen Ezekiel Technology Co. Limited (“Ezekiel”) under the laws of
the PRC.
We
currently operate our business through our subsidiaries, SAL, HSAL and Ezekiel. SAL and HSAL’s businesses constitute our e-commerce
business segment and Ezekiel’s business belongs to our trading business segment.
NOTE
2. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
HSAL’s
e-Commerce business
HSAL
is an e-Commerce company that developed an online application “Bibishengjia”. Bibishengjia is a shopping search
engine that concurrently searches many shopping sites, primarily based in China, including major shopping sites such as Taobao.com, Tmall.com,
JD.com and Pinduoduo.com, and helps customers meet their one-stop online shopping needs. The shopping sites included in the Bibishengjia
search engine pay us commissions for directing customers to their sites. Additionally, if a seller on a shopping site offers a rebate
to the shopping site for purchases made from such seller, the shopping site typically shares such rebates with the search engine that
directed the customer to the shopping site. Besides directing traffic to shopping sites, Bibishengjia also runs its own online
shopping platforms - Bibi Mall and Lianlian Nongyuan Agricultural Products Store, and sources and resells agricultural and other goods
on Bibishengjia. Bibi Mall and Lianlian Nongyuan Agricultural Products Store do not take possession of the products and use third
party delivery services to pick up the products sold from vendors and deliver the goods to customers directly. Bibishengjia was
launched on August 18, 2019 and is currently available for download at the Apple APP Store and other major mobile download stores.
Ezekiel’s
petroleum-based products distribution business
In
October 2020, Ezekiel entered into the business of distribution of petroleum-based products, such as asphalt, heat conduction oil and
machine (lubricating) oil. Ezekiel’s suppliers include large Chinese state-owned enterprises as well as reputable private Chinese
companies. Ezekiel doesn’t take possession of the petroleum-based products sold to third parties which are stored in the supplier’s
designated warehouse and is not responsible for delivery to the customers.
Ezekiel’s
multi-function lottery ticket machine business
In
late 2020, Ezekiel started a new business where it purchases custom-made multi-function lottery ticket machines and re-sells them to
third parties. The machines are designed and manufactured by third parties with third party technologies. Ezekiel doesn’t own any
intellectual property rights relating to the machines. Besides dispensing lottery tickets for which the machine owner retains 7-8% of
the ticket sales price, the machines also function as a cellphone charging station for about $0.45 per hour and a disinfectant wipes
dispenser at cost. The machine has a LED screen which allows a customer to browse the Bibishengjia APP and make purchases there. Ezekiel
has obtained licenses from several second and third-tier cities in the PRC where competition for lottery tickets sales and lottery tickets
machines is manageable. The licenses allow Ezekiel’s machines to dispense lottery tickets in these cities. Besides selling the
machines to third parties, Ezekiel also plans to install, as the owner and operator, machines at locations in cities where they already
received licenses to sell lottery tickets.
The
cost of each machine is approximately $950 and we sell these machines to third parties for about $1375. We currently generate revenue
from sales of our machines to third parties. If, and when, we are able to install machines, as the owner and operator, we will generate
revenue from the fees Ezekiel retains on all lottery ticket sales made by the machines, and fees collected from the cellphone charging
station.
NOTE
3. GOING CONCERN
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates
the realization of assets and the discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company,
which had an accumulated deficit of $2,649,419 and a working capital deficit of $446,938 as of June 30, 2021, incurred losses from inception
until March 30, 2021 and reported its first profit in the second quarter of 2021. The recoverability of a major portion of the recorded
asset amounts and realization of the portion of current liabilities into revenue shown in the accompanying balance sheets are dependent
upon continued operations of the Company, which in turn are dependent upon the Company’s ability to raise additional financing
and to succeed in its future operations. The Company will need additional cash resources to operate during the upcoming 12 months, and
the continuation of the Company may be dependent upon the continuing financial support of investors, directors and/or shareholders of
the Company. However, there is no assurance that efforts to raise equity or debt will be successful in raising sufficient funds to assure
the eventual profitability of the Company. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as
a going concern. These accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification
of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue
as a going concern.
Management
plans to support the Company in operation and to maintain its business strategy to raise funds through public and private offerings and
to rely on officers and directors to perform essential functions with minimal compensation. If we do not raise all of the money we need
from such offerings, we will have to find alternative sources including, loans from our officers, directors or others. Management has
actively taken steps to revise its operating and financial requirements, which they believe will allow the Company to continue its operations
for the next 12 months.
NOTE
4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use
of estimates
In
preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States management makes estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the
dates of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting year. These accounts
and estimates include, but are not limited to, the valuation of accounts receivable, deferred income taxes and the estimation on useful
lives of plant and equipment. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Concentrations
of credit risk
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of accounts receivable.
In respect of accounts receivable, the Company extends credit based on an evaluation of the customer’s financial condition, generally
without requiring collateral or other security. In order to minimize the credit risk, the management of the Company has delegated a team
responsibility for determination of credit limits, credit approvals and other monitoring procedures to ensure that follow-up action is
taken to recover overdue debts. Further, the Company reviews the recoverable amount of each individual trade debt at each balance sheet
date to ensure that adequate impairment losses are made for irrecoverable amounts. In this regard, the directors of the Company consider
that the Company’s credit risk is significantly reduced.
Cash
and cash equivalents
Cash
and cash equivalents include all cash, deposits in banks and other highly liquid investments with initial maturities of three months
or less. The Company currently maintains bank accounts in HK and the PRC only.
Accounts
receivable
Accounts
receivable are stated at original amount less allowance made for doubtful receivables, if any, based on a review of all outstanding amounts
at the year end. An allowance is also made when there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts
due according to original terms of receivables. Bad debts are written off when identified. The Company extends unsecured credit to customers
in the normal course of business and believes all accounts receivable in excess of the allowances for doubtful receivables to be fully
collectible. The Company does not accrue interest on trade accounts receivable. Pursuant to the Company’s credit policy exposure
to credit risk is monitored on an on-going-basis where management performs credit evaluations on all customers that are sold services
or products on account. The Company did not experience any bad debts during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.
Inventories
Inventories
consisting of lottery machines, are stated at the lower of cost or market value. The Company used the weighted average cost method of
accounting for inventory. Inventories on hand are evaluated on an on-going basis to determine if any items are obsolete, spoiled, or
in excess of future demand. The Company reviews its inventories for impairment and provides, if required, for an impairment charge that
is charged directly to cost of sales when it has been determined the product is obsolete or spoiled, and the Company will not be able
to sell it at a normal profit above its carrying cost. The Company’s primary inventories are multi-function lottery ticket machines.
The Company did not experience any inventory impairment during six month ended June 30, 2021.
Property,
Plant and Equipment
Plant
and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Cost represents the purchase price of the asset and other costs incurred
to bring the asset into its existing use. Maintenance, repairs and betterments, including replacement of minor items, are charged to
expense; major additions to physical properties are capitalized.
Depreciation
of plant and equipment is provided using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives at the following annual rates:
Furniture and fixtures
|
|
|
20% - 50%
|
|
Office equipment
|
|
|
20%
|
|
|
Plant
and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may
not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated
undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future
cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the
asset. Assets to be disposed of are separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair
value less costs to sell and are no longer depreciated.
Customer
advances and deposits
SAL
received prepayment of the full consideration of $1,000,000 under the Pretech Agreement in two installments in 2019 and 2020. The Company
is recognizing such prepayment in a straight line 7-year schedule. Of the full consideration of the Pretech Agreement, an aggregate amount
of $179,666 was recognized as revenue in 2019 and 2020 and $826,463 is outstanding and yet to be recognized.
Ezekiel
received a series of prepayments in the aggregate amount of $4,078,044 from Qingdao Jiuzhou Xintong Industry and Trade
Co., Ltd. for the purchase of petroleum-based products. The Company recognized such prepayment as a current customer advance. The
Company recorded an aggregate of $4,221,566 as current customer advances and $609,838 as long-term customer advances as of June 30,
2021
HSAL
received prepayments from customers for eggs and other various products. The Company records these receipts as customer advances and
deposits until it has met all the criteria for recognition of revenue including the passing possession of the products to its customer,
at such point Company will reduce the customer and deposits balance and credit the Company’s revenue.
Revenue
recognition
The
Company adopted ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and all subsequent ASUs that modified ASC 606 on April 1,
2017 using the full retrospective method which requires the Company to present the financial statements for all periods as if Topic 606
had been applied to all prior periods. Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized using the following five steps:
|
1.
|
Identify
the contract(s) with a customer;
|
|
|
|
|
2.
|
Identify
the performance obligations in the contract;
|
|
|
|
|
3.
|
Determine
the transaction price;
|
|
|
|
|
4.
|
Allocate
the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and
|
|
|
|
|
5.
|
Recognize
revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.
|
In
applying ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue when the Company has negotiated the terms of the transaction, set forth the sales price,
transferred of possession of the product to the customer, determined that the customer does not have the right to return the product,
determined that the customer is able to further sell or transfer the product onto others for economic benefit without any other obligation
to be fulfilled by the Company, and the Company is reasonably assured that funds have been or will be collected from the customer.
Cost
of Sales
Cost
of sales is mainly comprised of costs of multi-function lottery tickets machines, petroleum-based products, and various agriculture products.
Selling
Expense
Selling
expense is mainly comprised of advertising and promotion cost on the Company’s online application “Bibishengjia”.
General
and administrative expense is mainly comprised of rent, salary, business registration fees, telephone and utilities costs, and office
miscellaneous expenses.
Income
taxes
Income
taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences
attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective
tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates
expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect
on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
Comprehensive
income (loss)
The
Company has adopted FASB Accounting Standard Codification Topic 220 (“ASC 220”) “Comprehensive income”, which
establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. Accumulated other comprehensive
income (loss) represents the accumulated balance of foreign currency translation adjustments of the Company.
Leases
The
Company’s executive offices are located in the Carnival Commercial Building, 18 Java Road, North Point Hong Kong. Our current lease
is from August 28, 2019 to August 27, 2021 at a monthly charge of HK$8,000 per month (approximately US$1,031 per month). The Company
has successfully renewed its lease in the past and does not expect any difficulty in renewing it again.
HSAL
leases 682.5 square meters of office space at Tower E1, Li Gu Yu Yuan, No. 27 Wen Xuan Road, Chang Sha, Hunan Province, China at a monthly
charge of RMB 22,523 per month (approximately $3,264 per month). The term of the lease is from May 15, 2019 to May 14, 2024. The lease
may be renewed upon three months prior written notice.
Ezekiel
leases 296.93 square meters of office space at Xin Li Kang Tower, Suite 22C, Nanshan District, Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, China at
a monthly charge of RMB 36,440 per month (approximately $5,281 per month). The term of the lease is from April 1, 2020 to April 9, 2023.
The lease may be renewed upon six months prior written notice.
Under
Topic 842, operating lease expense is generally recognized evenly over the term of the lease. The Company has operating leases primarily
consisting of facilities with remaining lease terms of approximately two to four years. The Company does not have the option to terminate
the leases early.
Leases
with an initial term of twelve months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. For lease agreements entered into or reassessed
after the adoption of Topic 842, the Company has combined the lease and non-lease components in determining the lease liabilities and
ROU assets.
The
Company’s lease agreements generally do not provide an implicit borrowing rate; therefore, an internal incremental borrowing rate
is determined based on information available at lease commencement date for purposes of determining the present value of lease payments.
The Company used the incremental borrowing rate on December 29, 2018 of 4.5% for all leases that commenced prior to that date.
ROU
lease assets and lease liabilities for our operating leases were recorded in the balance sheet as follows:

Foreign
currency translation
For
financial reporting purposes, the financial statements of the Company which are prepared using the functional currency have been translated
into United States Dollars (“US$”). The functional currencies of the Company’s two business segments based in the PRC
is Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”) and Hong Kong dollars (“HKD”), respectively. Transactions in foreign currencies are
initially recorded at the functional currency rate ruling at the date of transaction. Any differences between the initially recorded
amount and the settlement amount are recorded as a gain or loss on foreign currency transaction in the consolidated statements of operations.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are translated at the functional currency rate of exchange ruling at
the balance sheet date. Any differences are taken to profit or loss as a gain or loss on foreign currency translation in the consolidated
statements of operations.
In
accordance with ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters, the Company translated the assets and liabilities into US$ using the rate of exchange
prevailing at the applicable balance sheet date and the consolidated statements of operations 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 average rate used in translation of RMB to US$ is a ratio of US$1.00 = RMB 6.459589. The average rate
used in translation of HKD to US$ is a ratio of US$1.00 = HKD 7.765524.

Commitments
and contingencies
Liabilities
for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a
liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment can be reasonably estimated.
Recently
issued accounting pronouncements adopted
On
January 1, 2020, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments –
Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” which requires that expected credit losses relating to financial assets be measured on
an amortized cost basis and available-for-sale debt securities be recorded through an allowance for credit losses. ASU 2016-13 limits
the amount of credit losses to be recognized for available-for-sale debt securities to the amount by which carrying value exceeds fair
value and also requires the reversal of previously recognized credit losses if fair value increases. Also, for available-for-sale debt
securities with unrealized losses, the standard eliminates the concept of other-than-temporary impairments and requires allowances to
be recorded instead of reducing the amortized cost of the investment. The adoption by the Company of the new guidance did not have a
material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Our
condensed consolidated financial statements for six months ended June 30, 2021 are presented under the new standard, while comparative
periods presented are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the Company’s historical accounting policy.
In
February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The standard
requires lessees to recognize almost all leases on the balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and a lease liability and requires leases
to be classified as either an operating or a finance type lease. The standard excludes leases of intangible assets or inventory. In July
2018, the FASB issued amendments in ASU 2018-11, which provide another transition method in addition to the existing transition method,
by allowing entities to initially apply the new leases standard at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to
the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption, and to not apply the new guidance in the comparative periods they
present in the financial statements.
Other
pronouncements issued by the FASB or other authoritative accounting standards with future effective dates are either not applicable or
not significant to the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company.
NOTE
5. INCOME TAXES
The
Company and its subsidiaries file separate income tax returns. The Company was incorporated in Delaware and is subject to United States
federal and state income taxes. The Company did not generate taxable income in the United States for the six-month periods ended June 30,
2021 and 2020.
Two
subsidiaries are incorporated in Hong Kong and are subject to Hong Kong Profits Tax at 16.5% for six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.
Provision for Hong Kong profits tax has not been made for the periods presented as the subsidiaries had no assessable profits during
the periods. Two subsidiaries are incorporated in the PRC and are subject to PRC Income Tax at 25% for six months ended June 30, 2021
and 2020. Provision for PRC Income Tax has not been made for the year presented as the subsidiary had no assessable profits during
the year.
Deferred
taxes are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities
as measured by the enacted tax rates which will be in effect when these differences reverse. For six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020,
the Company has tax loss carrying-forwards, which does not recognize deferred tax assets as it is not probable that future taxable profits

NOTE
9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
FASB
Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures provides a single definition of fair value, a hierarchy
for measuring fair value and expanded disclosures about fair value adjustments. Various inputs are used in determining the fair value
of assets and liabilities. Inputs may be based on independent market data (“observable inputs”) or they may be internally
developed (“unobservable inputs”). These inputs are categorized into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three broad levels
for financial reporting purposes. The level of a value determined for an asset or liability within the fair value hierarchy is based
on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The three levels of the fair value
hierarchy are as follows:
|
Level
1 –
|
Unadjusted
quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
|
|
Level
2 –
|
Inputs
other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly,
including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities
in markets that are not considered to be active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability and
inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means; and
|
|
Level
3 –
|
Inputs
that are unobservable for the asset or liability, including the Trust’s assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments
|
There
were no transfers between Level 1 and other Levels during the six-months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.
NOTE 10 SEGMENT INFORMATION
FASB Accounting Standard Codification Topic 280 (ASC 280) “Segment
Reporting” establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments in financial statements. 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”), who is the CEO of the Company in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing
performance.
General Information of Reportable Segments:
Since the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company has been operating in
two reportable segments: e-commerce and trading. The e-commerce segment operates a shopping search engine Bibishengjia that concurrently
searches many shopping sites, primarily based in China and helps customers meet their one-stop online shopping needs. Bibishengjia
also runs its own online shopping platforms - Bibi Mall and Lianlian Nongyuan Agricultural Products Store, and sources and resells agricultural
and other goods on Bibishengjia. The trading segment sells petroleum-based products and multi-function lottery machines. To date,
there were no inter-segment revenues between our two segments. The segments’ accounting policies are the same as those described
in the summary of significant accounting policies. The Company’s CODM evaluates performance of each of the segments based on profit
or loss from continuing operations net of income tax.
The Company’s reportable business segments are strategic business
units that offer different products. Each segment is managed independently because they require different operations and markets to distinct
classes of customers.

NOTE 11 CONCENTRATION AND RISK
Credit risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant
concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and other receivables. The Company
maintains certain bank accounts in the PRC and in Hong Kong. As of June30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, $74,131 and $932,102, respectively,
were deposited in major financial institutions located in Mainland China, and Hong Kong Special Administration. Management believes that
these financial institutions are of high credit quality and continually monitor the credit worthiness of these financial institutions.

in RMB, which is not freely convertible into foreign currencies. All foreign exchange transactions take place either through the People’s

China. Approval of foreign currency payments by the People’s Bank of China or other regulatory institutions requires submitting
a payment application form together with suppliers’ invoices and signed contracts. These exchange control measures imposed by the
PRC government authorities may restrict the ability of the Company’s PRC subsidiary to transfer its net assets, to the Company through
loans, advances or cash dividends.
Major customers
