2. Going Concern and Management’s Plans

 

At June 30, 2019 the Company’s principal sources of liquidity were its cash and cash equivalents and the net proceeds from the sales of shares of common stock in the first six months of 2019.

 

The Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $86,757,000 at June 30, 2019. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company generated a net loss from continuing operations of approximately $1,887,000, used cash in continuing operations of approximately $2,064,000, and the Company expects that it will continue to generate operating losses for the foreseeable future. At June 30, 2019, the Company had a cash balance of approximately $1,184,000. Total revenues were approximately $1,326,000 and $2,119,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and approximately $2,673,000 and $4,432,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The Company had working capital deficiency of approximately $2,928,000 and $3,384,000 at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. In order to alleviate the substantial doubt, the Company has approved and undertaken several measures.

 

The Company is closely monitoring operating costs and capital requirements. Management of the Company also made efforts in 2018 and first two quarters of 2019 to contain and reduce cost, including implementing a new approval process over travel and other expenses, significantly reducing the cash compensation for independent board directors, terminating non-performing employees and eliminating certain positions, and replacing and negotiating with certain vendors. We also sold our Noble Voice business on May 25, 2018 to reduce operating losses and cash burns. If we are still not successful in sufficiently reducing our costs, we may then need to dispose our other assets or discontinue business lines.

 

On November 5, 2018, the Company entered into a $500,000 convertible note (the “Note”) with GNet Tech Holdings Public Limited Company (the “GNet”) in London, whose majority shareholder is also a shareholder of the Company’s largest shareholder, Cosmic Forward Limited (“CFL”), with a simple rate of 6% per annum interest. On June 14, 2019, the Company issued 209,205 shares to convert the principal of this Note. As a result, the Note has been satisfied and is no longer outstanding.

 

From January 9, 2019 to April 16, 2019, the Company sold an aggregate of 237,031 shares of its common stock at a purchase price ranging from $1.146 to $3.96 per share, representing 120% of the closing price the trading day immediately prior to the date of subscription. As of the date of this annual report, the Company has received an aggregate gross proceeds of $497,816 under this private placement. All of the purchasers are residents of the People’s Republic of China.

 

On June 11, 2019, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with one purchaser Ms. Xiaoqian (the “Purchaser Zheng”), pursuant to which the Purchaser Zheng agreed to purchase 500,000 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock for $2.20 per share for gross proceeds of $1,100,000 (the “Purchase Price”). The Purchase Zheng Price was received by the Company on June 14, 2019.

 

On August 5, 2019, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with one purchaser Ms. Yingling Wu (the “Purchaser Wu”), pursuant to which the Purchaser Wu agreed to purchase 1,142,857 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock for $1.75 per share for gross proceeds of $2,000,000 (the “Purchase Price”). This transaction was closed on August 6, 2019.

 

Management believes that its available funds and cash flow from operations may not be sufficient to meet our working capital requirements for the twelve months subsequent to the issuance of our financial statements. In order to accomplish its business plan objectives, the Company will need to either raise capital by issuance of stock, or utilize the $2,000,000 revolving credit facility with GNet, or strategic merge and acquisitions. Management believes that it will be successful in obtaining additional financing based on its limited history of raising funds; However, there can be no assurances that our business plans and actions will be successful, that we will generate anticipated revenues, or that unforeseen circumstances will not require additional funding sources in the future or effectuate plans to conserve liquidity. Future efforts to raise additional funds may not be successful or they may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all. In addition, due to China’s foreign currency control, the Company cannot move money between China and the USA freely. The People’s Bank of China (PBOC) and State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE) regulate the flow of foreign exchange in and out of the country strictly. We need to get approval from Chinese government to move money from China to the U.S. which might take extra time. As of June 30, 2019 we had a $345,000 cash balance in China.
