Overview

Fortune Valley Treasures, Inc. (the "Company," "we," "our" or "us") was incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 21, 2014. We were initially incorporated to offer users with up-to-date information on digital currencies. The Company, as a holding company, does not conduct substantial business operations. We, through our operating subsidiaries, engage in the food supply chain operations and management via a service platform. Through various acquisitions of high-quality upstream and downstream companies in the industry, the Company seeks to create a complete industrial chain to reduce costs and enhance competitiveness. The Company mainly focuses on online and offline sales targeting regional wholesalers, retailers, supermarkets and major food and beverage ("F&B") chains.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company conducted its business in one revenue stream: product sales - wine, water and other F&B products.

Our cash and cash equivalents balance at March 31, 2022 increased to $150,613, as compared to $123,163 at December 31, 2021. We estimate the Company currently has sufficient cash available to meet its anticipated working capital for the next twelve months, without raising additional capital. The Company is continuing to look for different financing opportunities in order to increase sufficient working capital and improve liquidity.

Despite the increased working capital of the Company, no assurance can be given that any future financing, if needed, will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, if needed, it may contain undue restrictions on its operations, in the case of debt financing, or cause substantial dilution for its shareholders, in the case of equity financing.

Critical Accounting Policy


In the ordinary course of business, we make a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of results of operations and financial condition in the preparation of our financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. We base our estimates on historical experience, when available, and on other various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates under different assumptions and conditions.





Revenue Recognition


The Company follows the guidance of ASC 606, 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.



Under Topic 606, revenues are recognized when the promised products have been confirmed of delivery or services have been transferred to the consumers in amounts that reflect the consideration the customer expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services. The Company presents value added taxes ("VAT") as reductions of revenues. The Company recognizes revenues net of value added taxes ("VAT") and relevant charges.

We generate revenue primarily from the sales of wine, water and oil directly to agents, wholesalers and end users. We recognize product revenue at a point in time when the control of the products has been transferred to customers. The transfer of control is considered complete when products have been picked up by or delivered to our customers. We account for shipping and handling fees as a fulfillment cost.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources that is material to investors.
