Hong Kong Wetouch Technology Limited , a limited company organized under the laws ofHong Kong ("HK Wetouch"), an affiliate ofGuangde Cai , our Chairman and Director, was incorporated onDecember 3, 2020 under the laws ofHong Kong . HKWetouch was established to own all the outstanding shares ofSichuan Vtouch Technology Co., Ltd. , which was incorporated onDecember 30, 2020 ("Sichuan Vtouch") inChengdu ,Sichuan , under the laws ofThe People's Republic of China ("PRC"). OnMarch 12, 2021 ,Wetouch Holding Group Limited ("BVI Wetouch"), the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, acquired all the outstanding shares of HK Wetouch from the sole shareholder of HK Wetouch,Guangde Cai , in consideration of the payment ofHK$10,000 pursuant to instruments of transfer in accordance withHong Kong law. As a result of the acquisition, HK Wetouch became a wholly-owned subsidiary of BVI Wetouch. BVI Wetouch owns (i) all the outstanding shares of Hong KongWetouch , which, in turn, owns all the outstanding shares of Sichuan Wetouch and (ii) all of the outstanding shares of HK Wetouch, which owns all the shares ofSichaun Vtouch Technology Co., Ltd. , a company incorporated under the laws
of PRC. OnMarch 16, 2021 , an indirectly wholly-owned operating subsidiary of the Company, Sichuan Wetouch entered into an Agreement of Compensation on Demolition ("Compensation Agreement") withSichuan Renshou Shigao Tianfu Investment Co., Ltd , a limited company owned by the local government (Sichuan Renshou"), for the withdrawal of our right to use of state-owned land and the demolition of all buildings, facilities and equipment on such land where we maintain our executive offices, research and development facilities and factories at No.29,Third Main Avenue ,Shigao Town , Renshou County, Meishan City,Sichuan, China (the "Property"). The Property, all buildings, facilities, equipment and all other appurtenances on the Property are collectively referred to as "Properties". The Compensation Agreement was executed and delivered as a result of guidelines (the "Guidelines") published by the local government of with respect to local environmental issues and a national overall plan onTianfu New District , Meishan City,Sichuan , PRC. In accordance with the Guidelines, a project named "Chaisang River Ecological Wetland Park " is under construction in the areas where the manufacturing facilities and properties of the Company are located. As a result, Sichuan Wetouch must relocate. In consideration for such relocation, the owner of the buildings on the state-owned land will be compensated. In order to minimize the interruption of our business, Sichuan Vtouch entered into a Leaseback Agreement with Sichuan Renshou onMarch 16, 2021 . The Leaseback Agreement entitles us to lease back the Properties commencing fromApril 1, 2021 untilDecember 31, 2021 , at a monthly rent ofRMB300,000 (approximately$46,154 ). OnMarch 18, 2021 , Sichuan Wetouch received a total amount ofRMB115.2 million (approximately$17.7 million ) as the total amount of compensation fromSichuan Renshou, includingRMB100.2 million ($15.4 million ) based upon the appraised value of the Properties plus an extra 15% relocation bonus ofRMB15.0 million ($2.3 million ). 5 We are actively searching for an appropriate parcel in Chengdu Medicine City (Technology Park),Wenjiang District ,Chengdu for the construction of our new production facilities and office buildings. As of the date of this Form 10-Q, we estimate that our capital needs for this acquisition and construction will be approximatelyRMB170.0 million (approximately$26.2 million ), but there is no assurance that the estimated amount is sufficient to achieve our goals. We may need additional financing for our business development. In addition, we expect that this acquisition and construction will be completed prior toDecember 31, 2021 , but there is no assurance and we may need extended time to achieve our business plan. Pursuant to local PRC government guidelines on local environment issues and the national overall plan, Sichuan Wetouch was under the government directed relocation order to relocate no later thanDecember 31, 2021 and was compensated forRMB115.2 million ($17.8 million ) from the local government for the withdrawal of the right to use of state-owned land and the demolition of all buildings, facilities, equipment and all other appurtenances on the land. OnMarch 2, 2021 , HK Wetouch acquired all shares of Hong Kong Wetouch. OnJune 18, 2021 , Hong Kong Wetouch started its dissolution process. In addition, the Company is in the process of dissolving Sichuan Wetouch, and its business and operations are being assumed by Sichuan Vtouch. Overview We were originally incorporated under the laws of the state ofNevada inAugust 1992 . OnOctober 9, 2020 , we entered into a share exchange agreement (the "Share Exchange Agreement") with BVI Wetouch and all the shareholders of BVI Wetouch, to acquire all the issued and outstanding capital stock of BVI Wetouch in exchange for the issuance to such shareholders an aggregate of 28 million shares of our common stock (the "Reverse Merger"). The Reverse Merger closed onOctober 9, 2020 . Immediately after the closing of the Reverse Merger, we had a total of 31,396,394 issued and outstanding shares of common stock. As a result of the Reverse Merger, BVI Wetouch is now our wholly-owned subsidiary. We are engaged in the research, development, manufacturing, sales and servicing of medium to large sized projected capacitive touchscreens, which constitutes our source of revenues through BVI Wetouch, which owns Hong Kong Wetouch, HKWetouch , Sichuan Wetouch and Sichuan Vtouch. We are specialized in large-format touchscreens, which are developed and designed for a wide variety of markets and used in by the financial terminals, automotive, point of sale (POS), gaming, lottery, medical, human machine interface (HMI), and other specialized industries. Our product portfolio comprises medium to large sized projected capacitive touchscreens ranging from 7.0 inch to 42 inch screens. In terms of the structures of touch panels, we offer (i) Glass-Glass ("GG"), primarily used in GPS/car entertainment panels in mid-size and luxury cars, industrial HMI, financial and banking terminals, POS and lottery machines; (ii) Glass-Film-Film ("GFF"), mostly used in high-end GPS and entertainment panels, industrial HMI, financial and banking terminals, lottery and gaming industry; (iii) Plastic-Glass ("PG"), typically adopted by touchscreens in GPS/entertainment panels motor vehicle GPS, smart home, robots and charging stations; and (iv) Glass-Film ("GF"), mostly used in industrial HMI. The following discussion and analysis pertain financial condition and results of operations of our subsidiaries Hong Kong Wetouch, HK Wetouch, Sichuan Wetouch and Sichuan Vtouch for the quarter endedJune 30, 2021 . Effects of COVID-19 The COVID-19 pandemic and resulting global disruptions have affected our businesses, as well as those of our customers and suppliers. To serve our customers while also providing for the safety of our employees and service providers, we have modified numerous aspects of our logistics, transportation, supply chain, purchasing, and after-sale processes. Beginning in Q1 2020, we made numerous process updates across our operations worldwide, and adapted our fulfillment network, to implement employee and customer safety measures, such as enhanced cleaning and physical distancing, personal protective gear, disinfectant spraying, and temperature checks. We will continue to prioritize employee and customer safety and comply with evolving state and local standards as well as to implement standards or processes that we determine to be in the best interests of our employees, customers, and communities. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, our subsidiary Sichuan Wetouch was temporarily shut down from earlyFebruary 2020 to earlyMarch 2020 in accordance with the requirement of the local governments. Our business was negatively impacted and generated lower revenue and net income in 2020. The Company has taken proactive measures to promote products to new customers and entering more regions during the six-month period endedJune 30, 2021 . The extent of the impact of COVID-19 on the Company's results of operations and financial condition will depend on the virus' future developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak and the impact on the Company's customers, which are still uncertain and cannot be reasonably estimated at this point of time. 6

Revenues We generated revenue of$15.2 million for the three months endedJune 30, 2021 , an increase of$9.9 million , or 186.8%, compared to$5.3 million in the same period of last year. This was due to an increase of 145.6% in sales volume and of 18.0% in the average selling price of our products, and 9.7% positive impact from exchange rate due to appreciation of RMB against US dollars, compared with those of the same period of last year.

As for the RMB selling price, the increase of 21.3% was mainly due to the increased sales of new models of higher-end products such as touch screens used in gaming machines with higher selling prices in the domestic market during the three-month period endedJune 30, 2021 . The weakening in macroeconomic conditions since the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic inJanuary 2020 continued to exacerbate the touch screen business environment. For the three months period endedJune 30, 2020 , the Company's business was negatively impacted and has continued to generate lower revenues. Due to our proactive efforts to market new models such as POS touchscreens and penetrate into new customers and into new regions, our sales increased by 239.2% in East China, 168.6% inSouth China , and 129.8% inSouthwest China for the second quarter endedJune 30, 2021 as compared to that of last year.

Effective income tax rate 19.2 % 15.8 % (1.1 )%
The effective income tax rates for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and
2020 were 19.2% and 15.8%, respectively. The effective income tax rate for the
six-month period ended June 30, 2021 differs from the PRC statutory income tax
rate of 25% primarily due to Sichuan Wetouch's preferential income tax rate.
Our PRC subsidiary Sichuan Vtouch had $52.6 million of cash and cash equivalents
as of June 30, 2021 , which are planned to be indefinitely reinvested in the PRC.
The distributions from our PRC subsidiary are subject to the U.S. federal income
tax at 21%, less any applicable foreign tax credits. Due to our policy of
indefinitely reinvesting our earnings in our PRC business, we have not provided
for deferred income tax liabilities related to PRC withholding income tax on
undistributed earnings of our PRC subsidiaries.

Net Income
As a result of the above factors, we had a net income of $13.4 million in the
six-month period ended June 30, 2021 compared to a net income of $3.2 million in
the same period of 2020.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Historically, our primary uses of cash have been to finance working capital needs. We expect that we will be able to meet our needs to fund operations, capital expenditures and other commitments in the next 12 months primarily with our cash and cash equivalents, operating cash flows and bank borrowings.
We may, however, require additional cash resources due to changes in business conditions or other future developments. If these sources are insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain a credit facility. The sale of additional equity or equity-linked securities could result in additional dilution to stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could result in operating and financial covenants that would restrict operations. Financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, or at all. As ofJune 30, 2021 , we had current assets of$64.6 million , consisting of$52.6 million in cash,$11.6 million in accounts receivable,$0.3 million in inventories, and 28,265 in prepaid expenses other current assets. Our current liabilities as ofJune 30, 2021 , were$3.1 million , which is comprised of$1.8 million in income tax payable,$0.8 in accounts payable, and$0.5 million in accrued expenses and other current liabilities. The following is a summary of our cash flows provided by (used in) operating, investing, and financing activities for the six- month period endedJune 30, 2021 and 2020: Six-Month Period Ended June 30, (in US Dollar millions) 2021 2020

Operating Activities Net cash provided by operating activities was$11.1 million for the six-month period endedJune 30, 2021 , as compared to$5.5 million provided by operating activities for the same period of last year, primarily due to (i) the increase of$10.2 million net income for the six-month period endedJune 30, 2021 as compared to the same period of 2020, (ii) the increase of$3.1 million of share-based compensation, (ii) the increase of$2.0 million income tax payable due to income tax clearance for Sichuan Wetouch during the six-month period endedJune 30, 2021 , partially offset by (iv) the decrease of$7.6 million gain on asset disposal for the six-month period endedJune 30, 2021 , (v) the decrease of$1.6 million of accounts receivable due to Sichuan Wetouch settling customer receivables for the six-month period endedJune 30, 2021 and (vi) the increase of 0.6 million of deferred income due to Sichuan Wetouch write-off government grant in the operating ceasing process for the six-month period endedJune 30, 2021 , as compared to the same period of 2020.

The majority of the Company's revenues and expenses were denominated primarily
in Renminbi ("RMB"), the currency of the People's Republic of China . There is no
assurance that exchange rates between the RMB and the U.S. Dollar will remain
stable. Inflation has not had a material impact on the Company's business.
Our industry typical payment term is 180 days. Accounts receivable are written
off against the allowances only after exhaustive collection efforts. There was a
stalled collection activities during February and March 2020 , during which most
businesses except essential services were operated.
Based on past performance and current expectations, we believe our cash and cash equivalents provided by operating activities and financing activities will satisfy our working capital needs, capital expenditures and other liquidity requirements associated with our operations for at least the next 12 months.
