TJBH Tengjun Biotechnology Corporation (CE)

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

Tengjun Biotechnology Corp. (formerly known as China Herb Group Holdings Corporation, the “Company”) was incorporated under the name “Island Radio, Inc.” under the laws of the State of Nevada on June 28, 2010. On December 9, 2019, the Company changed its corporate name to Tengjun Biotechnology Corp. (“Tengjun”).

Tengjunxiang Biotechnology Ltd. (“Tengjunxiang”) is a holding company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on July 19, 2021. On August 5, 2021, Tengjunxiang formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Tengjunxiang Biotechnology HK Limited (“Tengjunxiang HK”), under the laws of Hong Kong. Shandong Minfu Biology Science and Technology Co., Ltd. (“Shandong Minfu”) is a company incorporated under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) on August 29, 2021. Tengjunxiang HK owns all of the equity interests in Shandong Minfu, a wholly-foreign owned entity formed (“WFOE”) under the laws of PRC. 

Shandong Tengjunxiang Biotechnology Co., Ltd (“Shandong Tengjunxiang”) was incorporated under the laws of PRC on June 27, 2014. Jinxiang County Kanglong Water Purification Equipment Co., Ltd (“Jinxiang Kanglong”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Shandong Tengjunxiang, was formed under the laws of the PRC on January 6, 2015. Shandong Tengjunxiang and Jinxiang Kanglong have been under common control. Shandong Tengjunxiang and its subsidiary, Jinxiang Kanglong are primarily engaged in processing, packaging, distribution and sale of dandelion teas, and producing and sale of water purifiers in China, and plans to increase its tea processing and water purifier production lines, and expand its sales channels in the next one to two years.

On December 15, 2021, all shareholders and the Board of Shandong Tengjunxiang agreed to increase its registered capital to RMB 100 million, of which RMB 94.95 million shall be contributed by Shandong Minfu and the remaining RMB 5.05 million shall be contributed by fourteen other shareholders. On December 16, 2021, Tengjunxiang completed its restructuring transaction (the “Restructuring Transaction”). As a result of the Restructuring Transaction, Tengjunxiang, through its subsidiaries, directly owns 94.95% of the ownership of Shandong Tengjunxiang and therefore became the controlling shareholder of Shandong Tengjunxiang.

All of the entities of the Restructuring Transaction are under common control of Mr. Xianchang Ma, the controlling shareholder of Tengjunxiang, before and after the Restructuring Transaction, which results in the consolidation of Tengjunxiang and its subsidiaries and has been accounted for as a reorganization of entities under common control at carrying value and for accounting purpose, the reorganization was accounted for as a recapitalization. The consolidated financial statements are prepared on the basis as if the Restructuring Transaction became effective as of the beginning of the first period presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

On December 23, 2021, the Company entered into a Share Purchase/Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with Tenjunxiang, and eleven shareholders of Tengjunxiang (the “Selling Shareholders”). The Selling Shareholders collectively owned 100% of all issued and outstanding shares of Tengjunxiang (the “Tengjunxiang Shares”).  Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, the Selling Shareholders jointly agreed to sell or transfer to the Company one hundred percent (100%) of the Tengjunxiang Shares in exchange for a total of 19,285,714 shares of the Company’s common stock. As a result of such exchange (the “Stock Exchange”), Tengjunxiang has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and the Selling Shareholders collectively have received 19,285,714 shares of the Company’s common stock, representing approximately 29.53% of the then issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock.

In connection with the acquisition of Tengjunxiang pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company with its subsidiaries commenced its business operations in processing, packaging, distribution and sale of dandelion teas, producing and sale of water purifiers in China through Tengjunxiang and its subsidiaries in the People’s Republic of China. The acquisition of Tengjunxiang is treated as a reverse acquisition (the “Reverse Acquisition”).

COVID-19

A novel strain of coronavirus, or COVID-19, was first identified in China in December 2019, and subsequently declared a pandemic on March 11, 2020 by the World Health Organization. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, all travels had been severely curtailed to protect the health of the Company’s employees and comply with local government guidelines. The COVID-19 pandemic has had an adverse effect on the Company’s business. Although China has already begun to recover from the outbreak of COVID-19 and the Company’s business has gone back to normal, the epidemic continues to spread on a global scale and there is a risk of the epidemic returning to China in the future, thereby causing further business interruption. The full impact of the pandemic on the Company’s business, operations and financial results depends on various factors that continue to evolve, which the Company may not be able to accurately predict for now.

NOTE 2. GOING CONCERN

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As reflected in the Company’s accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has just started to generate revenues and turned around to be profitable since 2022. However, the Company still had working capital deficit of $441,156 as of September 30, 2022. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund its operating until it becomes sustainably profitable. The Company can give no assurances that any additional capital that it is able to obtain, if any, will be sufficient to meet its needs.

If the Company is unable to successfully become sustainably profitable, or unable to raise additional capital or secure additional lending, the Company may need to curtail or cease its operations. The Company believes that these matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management plans to obtain such resources for the Company include obtaining capital from the sale of its equity, and short-term and long-term borrowings from banks, stockholders or other related parties. However, management cannot provide any assurance that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.

NOTE 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Accounting

The consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Tengjun Biotechnology Corp., Tengjunxiang and its 100% owned subsidiaries, Tengjunxiang HK and WOFE, and its 94.95% owned subsidiaries, Shandong Tengjunxiang and Jinxiang Kanglong. All inter-company transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated 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 amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made. However, actual results could differ materially from those results.

Reclassification

Certain classifications have been made to the prior year financial statements to conform to the current year presentation. The reclassification had no impact on previously reported net loss or accumulated deficit.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all cash on hand and in banks, certificates of deposit with banks and other highly-liquid investments with maturities of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash and cash equivalents. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant risks on its cash in bank accounts.

Advance to suppliers

The Company makes advances to certain vendors for construction and purchase of equipment. The Company had advance to suppliers of $509,377 and $564,846 as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Based on management’s evaluation, no allowance for advances to suppliers was recorded as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Inventories

The Company’s inventories primarily consist of dandelion teas and water purifiers. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (determined on a weighted average basis) and net realizable value. Inventories mainly consist of raw materials, goods in process, and finished goods. The Company reviews its inventories regularly for possible obsolete goods and establishes reserves when determined necessary. No reserve for inventory was established as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Gains or losses on disposals are reflected as gain or loss in the period of disposal. All ordinary repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

Depreciation for financial reporting purposes is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets:

Costs incurred in constructing new facilities, including progress payments and other costs related to construction, are capitalized and transferred to property, plant and equipment on completion, at which time depreciation commences.

Construction in Progress

Construction in progress represents direct costs of construction, interest and design fees incurred. No interest was capitalized for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. Capitalization of these costs ceases and the construction in progress is transferred to property, plant, and equipment when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the assets for their intended use are completed. No depreciation is recognized until it is completed and ready for intended use. Construction in progress as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $8,044,587 and $8,726,299, respectively.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the assets. Whenever any such impairment exists, an impairment loss will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value. There was no impairment for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 based on management’s evaluation. 

Value added tax (“VAT”)

All China-based enterprises are subject to a VAT imposed by the PRC government on their domestic product sales and services. The Company’s subsidiaries in the PRC are subject to VAT at rates ranged from 0% to 17% on proceeds received from customers, and are entitled to a deduction for VAT already paid or borne on the products purchased by them. The VAT payable will be presented on the balance sheets when input VAT is less than the output VAT. Receivable balance, prepaid VAT, will be presented on the balance sheets when input VAT is larger than the output VAT.

Advances from customers

Payments received before all the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as advance from customers. When all revenue recognition criteria are met, the advances from customers are recognized as revenue.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. To determine the revenue to be recognized, the Company applies the following five-step model:

The Company generates revenues mainly from sales of packaged dandelion teas and water purifiers. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company also engaged in the sale of certain nutraceutical products and water treatment accessories. Revenue from the sales of goods is recognized when the control over the promised goods is transferred to customers.

Cash payments received or due from customers before revenue recognized are recorded as advances from customers. The advance from customers is recognized as revenue when the Company’s performance obligation is completed.

Cost of goods sold

Cost of goods sold consists primarily of cost of goods purchased, direct raw material cost, direct labor cost, and cost of manufacturing overheads including the depreciation of production equipment.

Selling and marketing expenses

Selling and marketing expenses primarily consist of advertising costs, agency fees, costs for promotional materials, and commission costs made to sales force.

Advertising expenses are charged to the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss in the period incurred. The amounts of advertising expenses incurred were $316 and $8,622 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The amounts of advertising expenses incurred were $4,470 and $25,268 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Commission expense primarily consists of commission costs made to independent sales force. The amount of commission expense incurred were $28,990,675 and $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The amount of commission expense incurred were $75,297,357 and $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses primarily consist of payroll and benefit costs for corporate employees, legal, consulting, professional expenses, rental expenses and other corporate overhead costs.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The operations of the Company are primarily in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic, and legal environments in the PRC, and by the general state of the PRC economy.

The Company has cash on hand and demand deposits in accounts maintained with state-owned banks within the PRC. Cash in state-owned banks is covered by insurance up to RMB 500,000 ($72,500) per bank. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes they are not exposed to any risks on their cash in these bank accounts.

The Company generated total revenue of $36,418,104 and $91,992,680 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. No customer accounted for over 10% of total revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

During the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company had one major supplier that accounted for over 10% of its total purchases.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company had two major suppliers that accounted for over 10% of its total purchases.

No supplier accounted for over 10% of total purchase during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability approach which allows for the recognition and measurement of deferred tax assets based upon the likelihood of realization of tax benefits in future years. Under the asset and liability approach, deferred taxes are provided for the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize their benefits, or that future deductibility is uncertain.

Under ASC 740, a 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 evaluation of a tax position is a two-step process. The first step is to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of any related appeals or litigations based on the technical merits of that position. The second step is to measure a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not threshold to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the financial statements. A tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Tax positions that previously failed to meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold should be recognized in the first subsequent period in which the threshold is met. Previously recognized tax positions that no longer meet the more-likely-than-not criteria should be de-recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which the threshold is no longer met. Penalties and interest incurred related to underpayment of income tax are classified as income tax expense in the year incurred.

Related parties

The Company follows ASC 850, “Related Party Disclosures,” for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions. Parties are related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Parties are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or significant influence, such as a family member or relative, shareholder, or a related corporation.

Foreign Currency Translation

The Company uses the United States dollar (“U.S. dollars”) for financial reporting purposes. The functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries is the Chinese Yuan or Renminbi (“RMB”). The Company’s subsidiaries maintain their books and records in their functional currency, being the primary currency of the economic environment in which their operations are conducted. For the Company and its subsidiaries whose functional currencies are other than the U.S. dollar, all asset and liability accounts were translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date; stockholders’ equity is translated at the historical rates and items in the income statement and cash flow statements are translated at the average rate in each applicable period. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in the statement of shareholders’ equity. The resulting translation gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments

ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable 

Level 3 – inputs that are unobservable

The Company’s financial instruments primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, advances to suppliers, prepaid expenses, other receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, other payables, and related party borrowings. As of the balance sheet dates, the estimated fair values of the financial instruments were not materially different from their carrying values as presented on the balance sheets. This is attributed to the short maturities of the instruments and that interest rates on the borrowings approximate those that would have been available for loans of similar remaining maturity and risk profile at respective balance sheet dates.

Lease

The Company adopted FASB Accounting Standards Codification, Topic 842, Leases (“ASC 842”) using the modified retrospective approach, electing the practical expedient that allows the Company not to restate its comparative periods prior to the adoption of the standard on January 1, 2019.

The new leasing standard requires recognition of leases on the consolidated balance sheets as right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use underlying assets for the lease terms and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the leases. Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value and future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. The Company’s future minimum based payments used to determine the Company’s lease liabilities mainly include minimum based rent payments. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.

The adoption of ASC 842 had no material impact on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, results of operations or cash flows. In addition, the adoption of ASC 842 did not result in a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings (accumulated deficit). Operating lease cost is recognized as a single lease cost on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses. Variable lease payments for common area maintenance, property taxes and other operating expenses are recognized as expense in the period when the changes in facts and circumstances on which the variable lease payments are based occur.

Segment Reporting

ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” requires use of the “management approach” model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company’s chief operating decision maker organizes segments within the Company for making operating decisions assessing performance and allocating resources. Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other manner in which management disaggregates a company.

The Company manages its business as two operating segments, dandelion teas and water purifier, all of which are located in the PRC. All of its revenues are derived in the PRC. All long-lived assets are located in PRC.

The following table shows the Company’s operations by business segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021:

Income (Loss) per Share Calculation 

Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per shares is computed similar to basic earnings (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), which requires entities to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022. Early application will be permitted for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) (“ASU 2020-04”). ASU 2020-04 contains practical expedients for reference rate reform related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts. The guidance in ASU 2020-04 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the guidance and may apply the elections as applicable as changes in the market occur.

Depreciation expense for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were $73,809 and $80,318, respectively. Depreciation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were $237,750 and $235,666, respectively.

NOTE 6. PREPAID TAXES

Prepaid taxes as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, primarily consisted of prepaid VAT in the amount of $0 and $688,272, respectively, which can be used to offset VAT payable when the Company incurs sales.

NOTE 7. LOAN TO THIRD PARTIES

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company made loans to various individual sales agents in the aggregate amount of $21,409,853 pursuant to the agreements with each of the sales agents. The loans were made to each of the sales agents for the purpose of market expansion, and all loans shall be repaid in full before December 31, 2022. These loans are unsecured and bear no interest.

NOTE 8. SHORT-TERM LOAN

On March 17, 2020, Shandong Tengjunxiang and China Construction Bank entered into a one-year bank loan agreement in an amount of RMB 3,000,000, equivalent to $459,770. The term started March 17, 2020 with the maturity date on March 17, 2021. The loan balance bore an interest rate of 4.025% per annum. The Company repaid the loan together with the accrued interest in full on March 17, 2021.

During the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded interest expense of $0. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded interest expense of $0 and $4,987, respectively.

NOTE 10. INCOME TAX

United States

The Company was incorporated in the United States of America and is subject to United States federal taxation. The U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2017. Effective in 2018, the Tax Act reduces the U.S. statutory tax rate from 35% to 21%.

Cayman Islands

Under the current laws of the Cayman Islands, the Company is not subject to tax on income or capital gain. Additionally, upon payments of dividends to the shareholders, no Cayman Islands withholding tax will be imposed.

Hong Kong

Tengjunxiang HK is incorporated in Hong Kong and is subject to Hong Kong Profits Tax on the taxable income as reported in its statutory financial statements adjusted in accordance with relevant Hong Kong tax laws. The applicable tax rate is 16.5% on its taxable income generated from operations in Hong Kong. The Company did not make any provisions for Hong Kong profit tax as there were no assessable profits derived from or earned in Hong Kong since inception. Additionally, payments of dividends by the subsidiary incorporated in Hong Kong to the Company are not subject to any Hong Kong withholding tax.

PRC

Effective on January 1, 2008, the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, EIT Law, and Implementing Rules impose an unified enterprise income tax rate of 25% on all domestic-invested enterprises and foreign investment enterprises in PRC, unless they qualify under certain limited exceptions. As such, starting from January 1, 2008, the Company’s subsidiaries in PRC are subject to an enterprise income tax rate of 25%. The Company had recorded income tax provision of $1,861,830 and $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

Provision for income tax expense (benefit) consists of the following:

The following is a reconciliation of the statutory tax rate to the effective tax rate:

The Company periodically evaluates the likelihood of the realization of deferred tax assets, and adjusts the carrying amount of the deferred tax assets by the valuation allowance to the extent that the future realization of the deferred tax assets is not judged to be more likely than not. The Company considers many factors when assessing the likelihood of future realization of its deferred tax assets, including its recent cumulative earnings experience by taxing jurisdiction, expectations of future taxable income or loss, the carryforward periods available to the Company for tax reporting purposes, and other relevant factors.

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, based on the weight of available evidence, including cumulative losses in recent years and expectations of future taxable income, the Company determined that it was more likely than not that its deferred tax assets would not be realized and have a 100% valuation allowance associated with its deferred tax assets.
