Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of theU.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Because they discuss future events or conditions, forward-looking statements may include words such as "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "intend," "could," "should," "would," "may," "seek," "plan," "might," "will," "pursue," "expect," "predict," "project," "goals," "strategy," "future," "likely," "forecast," "potential," "continue," negatives thereof or similar references to future periods.

Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control. Our actual future results and financial condition may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause our actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, among others, inability to successfully conclude acquisitions of target companies or assets which are reasonably capable of generating positive cash flow in the near future, legal and regulatory changes in the jurisdictions in which we operate, volatility or decline in our stock price, potential fluctuation of our quarterly and annual financial and operational results, rapid adverse changes in markets, decline in demand for our goods and services, insufficient revenues to cover our operating costs and such other factors as discussed throughout this section.

Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates
We prepare our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity withU.S. GAAP, which requires management to make certain estimates and to apply judgments. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience, current trends and other factors that management believes to be important at the time the financial statements are prepared. On a regular basis, we review our accounting policies and how they are applied and disclosed in our condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management. We believe that of our significant accounting policies, which are described in Note 3 to our condensed consolidated financial statements, the following accounting policies involve a greater degree of judgment and complexity. Accordingly, these are the policies we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our financial condition and results of operations. Revenue Recognition
Our revenues primarily include product sales, franchise fees and income and revenues from transactions with franchisees.
Product sales
Product sales represents the sale of "coffee tea" and wine products. Such revenue is recognized net of value-added taxes, upon delivery at such time that title passes to the customers.
Franchise fees and income
Franchise fees and income primarily include upfront franchise fees, such as initial fees, pre-opening assistance to operate wine stores, subsequent training provided to franchisees and renewal fees. We have determined that the services provided in exchange for upfront franchise fees are highly interrelated with the franchise rights. The franchise rights are accounted for as rights to access our symbolic intellectual property in accordance with ASC 606, and we recognize upfront franchise fees received from a franchisee as revenue when performance obligations are satisfied in accordance with the franchise agreement or the renewal agreement. The franchise agreement term is typically 3 years. 3
Revenues from transactions with franchisees
Revenues from transactions with franchisees consist primarily of sales of wine products. We sell and deliver wine products to the franchisees. The performance obligations arising from such transactions are considered distinct from the franchise agreement as they are not highly dependent on the franchise agreement and the customer can benefit from the procurement service on its own. Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control over ordered items, generally upon delivery to the franchisees. In determining the amount and timing of revenue from contracts with customers, we exercise significant judgment with respect to collectability of the amount; however, the timing of recognition does not require significant judgment, as it is based on either the franchise term or the date of product shipment, none
of which require estimation.
We do not incur a significant amount of contract acquisition costs in conducting its franchising activities. We believe its franchising arrangements do not contain a significant financing component.
Our revenue recognition policy is compliant with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods and is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for those goods. In addition, the standard requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The amount of revenue that is recorded reflects the consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for those goods. We apply the following five-step model in order to determine this amount: (i) identification of the goods and services in the contract; (ii) determination of whether the goods and services are performance
obligations, including whether they are distinct in the context of the
contract;
(iii) measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable
consideration; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and
(v) recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance
obligation. 4
We only apply the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that we will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. Once a contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606 at contract inception, we review the contract to determine which performance obligations we must deliver and which of these performance obligations are distinct. We recognize as revenues the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when the performance obligation is satisfied or as it is satisfied. Generally, our performance obligations are transferred to customers at a point in time, typically upon delivery or service being rendered.
For all reporting periods, we have not disclosed the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for all product revenue contracts with an original expected length of one year or less, which is an optional exemption that is permitted under the adopted rules.
For the Six months ended Revenue June 30, 2021 2020 Product sales$ 5,436,720 $ 468,094 Franchise fees and income 146,146 -
Revenues from transactions with franchisees 8,286,779 -
$ 13,869,645 $ 468,094 As of As of June 30, December 31, Contract liabilities 2021 2020
Deferred revenue related to prepaid wine products
-$ 407,753 $ 27,648 Contract liabilities primarily consist of deferred revenue related to prepaid wine products and upfront franchise fees. Deferred revenue related to prepaid wine products represents advance from franchisees for future supply of products which is expected to be recognized as revenue in the next 12 months. Deferred revenue related to upfront franchise fees represents the training service to be delivered over the term of franchise agreement that as ofJune 30, 2021 , we expect to recognize revenue of$114,446 within the next 12 months and of$129,899 after the next 12 months to 24 months. We have elected, as a practical expedient, not to disclose the value of remaining performance obligations associated with the franchise agreement in exchange for franchise right and related training services. The remaining duration of the performance obligation is the remaining contractual term of each franchise agreement. Revenue from training services provided to franchisees is recognized upon the conduct and delivery of training. Concentrations of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially expose us to significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, prepayment and advance to suppliers. As ofJune 30, 2021 andDecember 31, 2020 , substantially all of our cash and cash equivalents were deposited with financial institutions with high-credit ratings and quality. The following customers had an accounts receivable balance greater than 10% of total accounts receivable atJune 30, 2021 . Amount % Customer A$ 546,379 11 % Customer B 749,902 15 %$ 1,296,281 26 %
We did not have customers constituting 10% or more of the net revenues in the
three and six months ended
Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
InJune 2016 , the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments." This pronouncement, along with subsequent ASUs issued to clarify provisions of ASU 2016-13, changes the impairment model for most financial assets and will require the use of an "expected loss" model for instruments measured at amortized cost. Under this model, entities will be required to estimate the lifetime expected credit loss on such instruments and record an allowance to offset the amortized cost basis of the financial asset, resulting in a net presentation of the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. In developing the estimate for lifetime expected credit loss, entities must incorporate historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning afterDecember 15, 2019 . OnNovember 19, 2019 , the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), finalized various effective date delays for private companies, not-for-profit organizations, and certain smaller reporting companies applying the credit losses (CECL), the revised effective date isJanuary 2023 . 5 InDecember 2019 , the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes ("ASU 2019-12"), which simplifies the accounting for income taxes, eliminates certain exceptions within ASC 740, Income Taxes, and clarifies certain aspects of the current guidance to promote consistency among reporting entities. ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning afterDecember 15, 2021 . Most amendments within the standard are required to be applied on a prospective basis, while certain amendments must be applied on a retrospective or modified retrospective basis. We are currently evaluating the impacts of the provisions of ASU 2019-12 on its financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. Results of Operations
