Specifically, we have been divesting certain operations in Asia and moving toward global operations focusing on the United States. These are significant changes and as our Company continues to evolve with the future blockchain technologies, we expect to profit considerably in years to come. Despite the crypto winter and unpredictable capital markets, we are satisfied with how our Company has navigated these difficult market conditions; having increased revenue, cut overhead costs, and received significant investments through three rounds of financing in the fourth quarter of 2022. Through the capital raises and recent management restructuring, we have reaffirmed our Company’s core values with a focus on our shareholders and have set the foundations for robust future growth opportunities in 2023.”
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
Dismantling of the VIE structure and divestment in companies in mainland China controlled by VIE agreements
On January 15, 2022, the Company disposed two of its variable interest entities, Beijing Lianji Technology Co., Ltd. (“Beijing Lianji”) and Beijing Mercurity Technology Co., Ltd. (“Beijing Mercurity”), both of which were under the control by Beijing Lianji Future Technology Co., Ltd. (“Lianji Future”), a wholly foreign owned subsidiary of the Company. On January 15, 2022, Lianji Future, Beijing Mercurity and Zhiyou Wang entered into a VIE termination agreement (the “Beijing Mercurity VIE Termination Agreement”) pursuant to which the parties thereto have agreed to terminate any and all of the control agreements among the parties and terminate the stock pledge on the shares of Beijing Mercurity held by Zhiyou Wang.

Zhiyou Wang was a shareholder of the Company. Other than the Beijing Mercurity Receivable, as of January 15, 2022, the Company has divested all the other assets and liabilities of Beijing Mercurity, which was not material due to the decline and suspension of Beijing Mercurity’s defi platform business.
Additionally, on January 15, 2022, Lianji Future, Beijing Lianji, Jie Zhou and Zhiyou Wang entered into a VIE termination agreement (the “Beijing Lianji VIE Termination Agreement”) pursuant to which the parties thereto have agreed to terminate any and all of the control agreements among the parties and terminate the stock pledge on the shares of Beijing Lianji held by Zhiyou Wang (95% shareholder of Beijing Lianji) and Jie Zhou (5% shareholder of Beijing Lianji).

Other than the Beijing Lianji Receivable, as of January 15, 2022, the Company has divested all the other assets and liabilities of Beijing Lianji, which was not material due to the decline and suspension of Beijing Lianji’s defi platform business.
Since January 15, 2022, the Company has neither controlled nor owned Beijing Lianji or Beijing Mercurity and the Company no longer owns any companies controlled by any VIE agreement as of the date herein.
Efforts to recover the Company’s misplaced digital assets (the “Recovery Proceeding”)
In late February 2022, it came to the Company’s attention that the Company could not reach Wei Zhu (“Zhu”), the Company’s former acting Chief Financial Officer, former Co-Chief Executive Officer, and a former member and Co-Chairperson of the Board, and Minghao Li (“Li”), a former member of the Board. Around that time, the Company realized that it temporarily lost control of all cryptocurrencies attributed to the Company. The book value on June 30, 2022 of the Bitcoins and USD Coins stored in the out-of-control wallets was USD$7,408,688. Later, the Company was informed that Zhu and Li were suspected of certain criminal offenses unrelated to the Company’s operations and had been detained by the Economic Crime Investigation Detachment of Sheyang County Public Security Bureau, Yancheng City, Jiangsu Province, People’s Republic of China (the “Public Security Bureau”), leading to that the Company’s hardware cold wallet and all cryptocurrencies held by Zhu, the former acting Chief Financial Officer, were seized and impounded by the Public Security Bureau. The Company verified that Bitcoins and USD Coins with a book value as of June 30, 2022 of USD$6,093,621 stored in the out-of-control wallet had been transferred to other unknown wallets.
PRC law firm Deheng Law Office (“Deheng”) has been representing the Company in their efforts to recover the seized cold wallet and cryptocurrencies from the Public Security Bureau. On November 21, 2022, Deheng submitted the complaint and evidentiary materials to the Public Security Bureau according to the Criminal Procedure Law and the Provisions on Procedures of Handling Criminal Cases by Public Security Organs (the “Law”). As of December 23, 2022, the Company and Deheng had not received any definitive response from the Public Security Bureau. The Company together with its PRC counsel will continue to vigorously pursue the Recovery Proceeding, attempting to regain its cold wallet and cryptocurrencies contained therein, which the Company believes were wrongfully seized and impounded by the Public Security Bureau.
As the Recovery Proceeding has not yet concluded, the Company’s financial statements for the first half of 2022 does not reflect the digital assets currently being held temporarily by the Chinese authorities.
Overview of business development for the first half of 2022
In the second half of 2021, the Company added cryptocurrency mining as one of the main businesses going forward. The Company has entered into digital asset mining pools by executing a business contract with a collective mining service provider to provide computing power to the mining pool and derived USD$664,307 related revenue in 2021 and USD$783,089 related revenue in the first half of 2022.
According to the Company’s five-year business plan laid out in the second half of 2021, the Company had originally planned to start physical cryptocurrency mining operations in the United States on a large scale in March 2022, but due to the Recovery Proceeding and the Bitcoin market price crash, the Company has delayed the implementation of some of these projects.
The Company also has focused on blockchain technology services since the second half of 2021, including designing and developing digital asset transaction platforms, digital asset quantitative investment software and other innovative and derivative services based on blockchain technologies, but in the first half of 2022, due in large part to the sustained cryptocurrency bear market and the time it takes for new technologies to achieve mass adoptions, the Company had yet to generate significant revenue from its blockchain technology services.
In the first half of 2022, the Company completed a novel software for the quantitative trading of digital assets through independent research and development. The software will first be implemented internally to enhance the quantitative cryptocurrency investment business before it will be made available to the public.
Changes in the Board and Management in the Six Months Ended June 30, 2022
There is no denying that the Recovery Proceeding has created some challenges regarding the Company’s daily operations in 2022. In response to the Recovery Proceeding, the Company underwent a series of significant changes in the Board of Directors and the management team.
On March 28, 2022, Mr. Wei Zhu resigned from the Director, the Co-Chairperson, the Acting Chief Financial Officer, and the Co-Chief Executive Officer positions from the Board and the Company, and Mr. Minghao Li resigned from the Director position from the Board of the Company on the same day. On April 7, 2022, the Board of the Company appointed Mr. Xuehui He and Mr. Yunhui Jin as Independent Directors of the Board, and Mr. Wenjie Han, and Mr. Junjie (Keith) Tan as Directors of the Board.
On April 13, 2022, Samuel Shen, Tony C. Luh, and Paul L. Gillis, each an Independent Director of the Company (each “Departing Director”), resigned from the Board of the Company because each Departing Director did not agree with certain other members of the Board regarding their requests for an internal inquiry and confirmation of certain events disclosed in the Company’s current reports on Form 6-K filed on April 11, 2022 and April 13, 2022.
On May 6, 2022, Mr. Laibin Ding, Mr. Wenjie Han, and Mr. Yunhui Jin resigned from the Directors positions of the Board of the Company for their personal reasons. On May 7, 2022, Mr. Xuehui He resigned from the Director position from the Board of the Company due to personal reasons.
On May 7, 2022, the Board of the Company elected Shi Qiu, Xiang Qu, and Er-Yi Toh as new Directors of the Company, among whom Xiang Qu and Er-Yi Toh are deemed Independent Directors, and the Board removed Hua Zhou as the Chairperson of the Board and elected Huahui Deng as the Chairman of the Board. The Board also removed Hua Zhou as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and appointed Shi Qiu as the new Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and appointed Cheng Hock Phuah as the new Chief Financial Officer of the Company.
In connection with the changes of the Board of Directors and the management team, the Company has been shifting directions and focusing on finding new funds and new business opportunities particularly related to its global business operations.
On June 13, 2022, the Company issued a promissory note (the “Note”) to Ying Wang (the “Noteholder”), a Singapore resident, in the principal amount of up to USD$5,000,000 to provide for the Company’s working capital. The Note has a term of one year with the maturity date on June 1, 2023 (the “Maturity Date”) and bears no interest other than any applicable imputed interest charged by the appropriate government authority. The balance of the Note may be prepaid at any time before the Maturity Date. As of June 30, 2022, the Company has received USD$0.4 million (the “Outstanding Loan Amount”) of the Note from the Noteholder. On August 29, 2022, the Noteholder sold, assigned, transferred, and conveyed unto Aiming Jumbo Limited (the “Purchaser”) the Noteholder’s rights and interests to receive payments from the Company in connection with the Note in exchange for the repayment of the Outstanding Loan Amount.

Impairment loss of intangible assets for the first half of 2022 was USD$572,790 due to the market wide decrease in fair value of digital assets the Company held, compared to an impairment loss of intangible assets from operations of USD$372,995 in the same period during 2021.

Non-GAAP Measures
To supplement the Company’s consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S.GAAP”), the Company uses non-GAAP financial measures, including Non-GAAP loss/income from continuing operations and Non-GAAP net loss/income attributable to the Company, that are adjusted from results based on U.S. GAAP to exclude amortization of acquired intangible assets, impairment loss, share-based compensation and related provisions for income tax expenses. The non-GAAP financial information is provided as additional information to help investors compare business trends among different reporting periods on a consistent basis and to enhance investors’ overall understanding of the historical and current financial performance of the Company’s operations and prospects for the future. The non-GAAP financial information should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to U.S. GAAP financial results. In addition, the Company’s calculations of this non-GAAP financial information may be different from the calculations used by other companies, and therefore comparability may be limited. A limitation of using these non-GAAP financial measures is that amortization of acquired intangible assets, impairment of goodwill, share-based compensation and related provision for income tax benefits have been and may continue to be for the foreseeable future significant recurring expenses in the Company’s results of operations. The Company compensates for these limitations by providing reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to U.S. GAAP financial measures. Please see the reconciliation tables at the end of this earnings release.
