Business Overview


We offer financial consulting services to small and medium-sized enterprise customers in Asia and North America.

Since our inception in 2015, the focus of our consulting business has been providing comprehensive going public consulting services designed to help SMEs become public companies on suitable markets and exchanges.





On January 4, 2021, we established an office in California, USA, through our
wholly owned subsidiary ATIF Inc., a California corporation, and launched, in
addition to our business consulting services, additional service models
consisting of asset management, investment holding and media services to expand
our business with a flexible business concept to achieve a goal of high growth

On August 12, 2021, our Board of Directors approved a reverse stock split (the
"Reverse Split") of our issued and outstanding ordinary shares, par value $0.001
per share, at a ratio of 1 -for-5so that every five (5) shares issued and
outstanding on the date of the Reverse Split was combined into one (1) ordinary

fractional share as a result of the reverse stock split will receive a whole
share in lieu of such factional share, as relevant. Both before and after
completion of the Reverse Split, the Company is and will be authorized to issue

Recent Updates



On October 3, 2022, ATIF established ATIF Southern LLC under the laws of
California of the United States. On October 6 and October 7, 2022, ATIF Inc., a
wholly owned subsidiary of ATIF, established ATIF Business Consulting LLC ("ATIF
BC") and ATIF Business Management LLC ("ATIF BM") under the laws of California
of the United States, respectively.



On August 1, 2022, ATIF USA entered into and closed a Sale and Purchase
Agreement (the "Agreement") with Asia Time (HK) International Finance Service
Limited (the "Buyer"), pursuant to which the Company sold all of its equity
interest in ATIF GP for cash consideration of US$50,000 (the "Agreement"). The
management believed the disposition does not represent a strategic shift because
it is not changing the way it is running its business. The Company has not
shifted the nature of its operations. The termination is not accounted as
discontinued operations in accordance with ASC 205-20. Upon the closing of the
Agreement, ATIF GP is no longer our subsidiary and ATIF USA ceased to be the
investment manager of ATIF LP.



As of January 31, 2023, we had one reporting segment, which is the provision of financial consulting services.

Our financial consulting services





Currently we provide consulting services to the companies based in North America
seeking listing in U.S.. We launched our consulting services in 2015. Our aim
was to assist Chinese enterprises by filling the gaps and forming a bridge
between PRC companies and overseas stock markets and exchanges. We have a team
of qualified and experienced personnel with legal, regulatory, and language
expertise in several jurisdictions outside the U.S. Our services were designed
to help SMEs in China achieve their goal of becoming public companies. In May
2022, we shifted our geographic focus from China to North America emphasizing on
helping mid and small companies in North America become public companies on the
U.S. capital markets. We would create a going public strategy for each client
based on many factors of such client, including our assessment of the client's
financial and operational situations, market conditions, and the client's
business and financing requirements. Since our inception and up to the date of
this report, we have successfully helped three Chinese enterprises to be quoted
on the U.S. OTC markets and are currently assisting our other clients in their
respective going public efforts. Most of our current and past clients have been
Chinese, U.S. and Mexican companies, and we plan to expand our operations to
other Asian countries, such as Malaysia, Vietnam, and Singapore with continuing
focus on the North American market in the coming years.



For the six months ended January 31, 2023 and 2022, we provided consulting
services to four and one customer, respectively, which primarily engaged the
Company to provide consulting services relating to going public in the US
through IPO and reverse merger. On May 31, 2022, we completed the transfer of
our equity interest in ATIF HK and Huaya, through which we provided consulting
services to Chinese companies We plan to focus on providing consulting services
to customers based in North America and other areas and intend to continue
cooperating with Huaya in connection with the expansion and provision of our
business services in China. From April 2022 through the date of this report, the
Company entered into consulting agreements with five customers, among which four
are based in the North America.



Our total revenue generated from consulting services amounted to $1.9 million
and minimal for the three months ended January 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Our total revenue generated from consulting services amounted to $2.2 million
and $0.5 million for the six months ended January 31, 2023 and 2022,
respectively.



Key Factors that Affect our Business

We believe the following key factors may affect our consulting services:

Our business success depends on our ability to acquire customers effectively.


Our customer acquisition channels primarily include our sales and marketing
campaigns and existing customer referrals. In order to acquire customers, we
have made significant efforts in building mutually beneficial long-term
relationships with local government, academic institutions, and local business
associations. In addition, we also market our consulting services through social
media, such as WeChat and Weibo. If any of our current customer acquisition
channels becomes less effective, we are unable to continue to use any of these
channels or we are not successful in using new channels, we may not be able to
attract new customers in a cost-effective manner or convert potential customers
into active customers or even lose our existing customers to our competitors. To
the extent that our current customer acquisition and retention efforts become
less effective, our service revenue may be significantly impacted, which would
have a significant adverse effect on our revenues, financial condition, and
results of operations.



Our consulting business faces strong market competition.


We are currently facing intense market competition. Some of our current or
potential competitors have significantly more financial, technical, marketing,
and other resources than we do and may be able to devote greater resources to
the development, promotion, and support of their customer acquisition and
retention channels. In light of the low barriers to entry in the financial
consulting industry, we expect more players to enter this market and increase
the level of competition. Our ability to differentiate our services from other
competitors will have significant impact on our business growth in the future.



Our business depends on our ability to attract and retain key personnel.





We rely heavily on the expertise and leadership of our directors and officers to
maintain our core competence. Under their leadership, we have been able to
achieve rapid expansion and significant growth since our inception in 2015. As
our business scope increases, we expect to continue to invest significant
resources in hiring and retaining a deep talent pool of financial consultancy
professionals. Our ability to sustain our growth will depend on our ability to
attract qualified personnel and retain our current staff.

Pending Legal Proceeding with Boustead Securities, LLC ("Boustead")





On May 14, 2020, Boustead filed a lawsuit against the us and LGC for breaching
the underwriting agreement Boustead had with each of us and LGC, in which
Boustead was separately engaged as the exclusive financial advisor to provide
financial advisory services to us and LGC.



In April 2020, we acquired 51.2% equity interest in LGC after LGC terminated its
efforts to launch an IPO on its own. Boustead alleged that the acquisition
transaction between us and LGC was entered into during the lockup period of the
exclusive agreement between Boustead and LGC, and therefore deprived Boustead of
compensation that Boustead would otherwise have been entitled to receive under
its exclusive agreement with LGC. Therefore, Boustead is attempting to recover
from us an amount equal to a percentage of the value of the transaction it
conducted with LGC.



Boustead's Complaint alleges four causes of action against us, including breach of contract; breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing; tortious interference with business relationships and quantum meruit.





                                       7





On October 6, 2020, ATIF filed a motion to dismiss Boustead's Complaint pursuant
to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6) and 12(b)(5).  On October 9, 2020,
the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York directed
Boustead to respond to the motion or amend its Complaint by November 10, 2020.
Boustead opted to amend its complaint and filed the amended complaint on
November 10, 2020.  Boustead's amended complaint asserts the same four causes of
action against ATIF and LGC as its original complaint. We filed another motion
to dismiss Boustead's amended complaint on December 8, 2020.



On August 25, 2021, the United States District Court for the Southern District
of New York granted ATIF's motion to dismiss Boustead's first amended complaint.
In its order and opinion, the United States District Court for the Southern
District of New York allowed Boustead to move for leave to amend its causes of
action against ATIF as to breach of contract and tortious interference with
business relationships, but not breach of the implied covenant of good faith and
fair dealing and quantum meruit. On November 4, 2021, Boustead filed a motion
seeking leave to file a second amended complaint to amend its cause of action
for Breach of Contract. The Court granted Boustead's motion for leave and
Boustead filed the second amended complaint on December 28, 2021 alleging only
breach of contract and dropping all other causes of action alleged in the
original complaint. On January 18, 2022, we filed a motion to dismiss Boustead's
second amended complaint. Boustead filed its opposition on February 1, 2022 and
we replied on February 8, 2022.



On July 6, 2022, the Court denied our motion to dismiss the second amended
complaint. Thereafter, on August 3, 2022, we filed a motion to compel
arbitration of Boustead's claims in California. Briefing on our motion to compel
concluded on August 23, 2022. The Court has yet to rule on that motion. Boustead
is also seeking a default judgment against LGC and recently filed an order to
show cause for default judgment against LGC. The Court has not ruled on
Boustead's request for entry of default judgment against LGC.



We are currently evaluating how it will respond to Boustead's motion for leave.
In sum, the Boustead litigation is currently in the pleadings stage. Our
management believes it is premature to assess and predict the outcome of this
pending litigation.


Off-Balance Sheet Commitments and Arrangements





We have not entered into any financial guarantees or other commitments to
guarantee the payment obligations of any third parties. In addition, we have not
entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to our shares and
classified as shareholder's equity or that are not reflected in our consolidated
financial statements. Furthermore, we do not have any retained or contingent
interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as
credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity. We do not have any
variable interest in any unconsolidated entity that provides financing,
liquidity, market risk or credit support to us or engages in product development
services with us.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


To date, we have financed our operations primarily through cash flows from
operations, working capital loans from our major shareholders, proceeds from our
initial public offering, and equity financing through public offerings of our
securities. We plan to support our future operations primarily from cash
generated from our operations and cash on hand.



Liquidity and Going concern


For the three and six months ended January 31, 2023, the Company reported a net
income of $0.8 million and $0.7 million, respectively. For the three and six
months ended January 31, 2022, the Company reported a net loss of $1.4 million
and $2.3 million, respectively. For the six months ended January 31, 2023 and
2022, the Company reported operating cash outflows of $0.7 million and cash
inflows of $0.3 million, respectively.



                                       8





In assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, the Company
monitors and analyzes its cash and its ability to generate sufficient cash flow
in the future to support its operating and capital expenditure commitments.



As of January 31, 2023, the Company had cash of $0.8 million. On the other hand,
the Company had current liabilities of $2.5 million. Currently the Company had
four service-in-progress agreements, and expected to collect consulting service
fees of $2.4 million for the next 12 months. Due to the impact of COVID-19, some
of our existing customers may experience financial distress or business
disruptions, which could lead to potential delay or default on their payments.
Any increased difficulty in collecting accounts receivable, or early termination
of our existing consulting service agreements due to deterioration in economic
conditions could further negatively impact our cash flows. Given these factors,
our potential customers' perception and confidence to go public in the United
States has been negatively impacted and our operating revenue and cash flows may
continue to underperform in the near terms. Although we had cash of $0.8 million
as of January 31, 2023, given the above mentioned uncertainties, the management
believes that the Company will continue as a going concern in the following 12
months from the date the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements are issued.


Currently, the Company intends to finance its future working capital requirements and capital expenditures from cash generated from operating activities and funds raised from equity financings.


The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets
and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the
recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and
classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of the
uncertainties described above.



We have not declared nor paid any cash dividends to our shareholders. We do not plan to pay any dividends out of our restricted net assets in the near future.

We have limited financial obligations denominated in U.S. dollars, thus the foreign currency restrictions and regulations in the PRC on the dividends distribution will not have a material impact on our liquidity, financial condition, and results of operations.





The following table sets forth summary of our cash flows for the years
indicated:

Operating Activities



Net cash used in operating activities was $0.8 million in the six months ended
January 31, 2023. Net cash used in operating activities was primarily comprised
of net income of $0.7 million, adjusted for amortization of right of use assets
of $0.2 million, and net changes in our operating assets and liabilities,
principally comprising of an increase of accounts receivable of $1.7 million as
we provided financial consulting services to more customers during the six
months ended January 31, 2023.



Net cash provided by operating activities was $0.3 million for the six months
ended January 31, 2022 were all from continuing operations. Net cash used in
operating activities from continuing operations mainly derived from (i) net loss
of $2.2 million for the six months ended January 31, 2022, adjusted for noncash
depreciation and amortization expenses of $0.1 million and loss from investments
in trading securities of $0.8 million, and (ii) net changes in our operating
assets and liabilities, principally comprising of an increase of $1.4 million in
accrued expenses and other current liabilities as we ordered investments in
trading securities through security accounts but the broker cleared our accounts
in February 2022, and an increase of $0.2 million in prepaid expenses and other
current assets as a result of collections.



Investing Activities



Net cash used in investing activities was $0.2 million in the six months ended
January 31, 2023, primarily used in loans of $0.1 million to a related party,
and investment in trading securities of $0.1 million.



Net cash used in investing activities amounted to $2.0 million for the six
months ended January 31, 2022, which primarily included the investments of $2.4
million in trading securities, partially offset by proceeds of $0.3 million

from
disposal of two vehicles.



Financing Activities


For the six months ended January 31, 2023, the Company did not generate cash flows from financing activities.





Net cash used in financing activities was $39,642 the six months ended January
31, 2022, attributable to payment of $1.0 million and $0.1 million to a limited
partner of ATIF LP, as withdrawal of investment and investment gain, partially
offset by proceeds of $1.1 million in relation to exercise of warrants by
investors who subscribed for ordinary shares offered in registered direct
offering which closed in November 2020.



Critical Accounting Estimate



The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of
assets, liabilities and contingencies at the date of the condensed consolidated
financial statements as well as the reported amounts of expenses during the
reporting period. As a result, management is required to routinely make
judgments and estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently
uncertain. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different
conditions or assumptions. Management determined there were no critical
accounting policies or accounting estimates.
