We are a holding company incorporated in Florida and we are not a Chinese
operating company. As a holding company with no material operations of our own,
we conduct a substantial majority of our operations through our subsidiaries in
China, Hong Kong, Dubai, U.S. and UK and we operate a blockchain based online
shopping mall through contractual arrangements with a variable interest entity
(VIE) -E-Commerce Tianjin, based in China and this structure involves unique
risks. Our shares of common stock are shares of our Florida holding company, and
we do not have any equity ownership of our VIE, instead we control and receive
the economic benefits of our VIE's business operations through certain
contractual arrangements, which are used to replicate foreign investment in
Chinese-based companies where Chinese law prohibits foreign invested equity
exceeding 50% in value added telecom/e-commerce business. Chinese regulatory
authorities could disallow the VIE structure, which could result in a material
change in our operations and/or value of our shares, including that it could
cause the value of shares to significantly decline or become worthless.



There are legal and operational risks associated with being based in and having
a substantial majority of operations in China and Hong Kong. These risks could
result in a material change in our operations and/or the value of our common
stock or could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or
continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of our shares to
significantly decline or be worthless. Recently, the PRC government initiated a
series of regulatory actions and statements to regulate business operations in
China with little advance notice, including cracking down on illegal activities
in the securities market, enhancing supervision over China-based companies
listed overseas, adopting new measures to extend the scope of cybersecurity
reviews, and expanding the efforts in anti-monopoly enforcement. On July 6,
2021, the General Office of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and
the General Office of the State Council jointly issued an announcement to crack
down on illegal activities in the securities market and promote the high-quality
development of the capital market, which, among other things, requires the
relevant governmental authorities to strengthen cross-border oversight of
law-enforcement and judicial cooperation, to enhance supervision over
China-based companies listed overseas, and to establish and improve the system
of extraterritorial application of the PRC securities laws. On February 15,
2022, Cybersecurity Review Measures published by Cyberspace Administration of
China or the CAC, National Development and Reform Commission, Ministry of
Industry and Information Technology, Ministry of Public Security, Ministry of
State Security, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Commerce, People's Bank of
China, State Administration of Radio and Television, China Securities Regulatory
Commission ("CSRC"), State Secrecy Administration and State Cryptography
Administration became effective, which provides that, Critical Information
Infrastructure Operators ("CIIOs") that intend to purchase internet products and
services and Data Processing Operators ("DPOs") engaging in data processing
activities that affect or may affect national security shall be subject to the
cybersecurity review by the Cybersecurity Review Office. On November 14, 2021,
CAC published the Administration Measures for Cyber Data Security (Draft for
Public Comments), or the "Cyber Data Security Measure (Draft)", which requires
cyberspace operators with personal information of more than 1 million users who
want to list abroad to file a cybersecurity review with the Office of
Cybersecurity Review. On December 24, 2021, the CSRC released the Administrative
Provisions of the State Council Regarding the Overseas Issuance and Listing of
Securities by Domestic Enterprises (Draft for Comments) and the Management Rules
Regarding the Overseas Issuance and Listing of Securities by Domestic
Enterprises (Draft for Comments). On April 2, 2022, the CSRC released the
Provisions on Strengthening Confidentiality and Archives Administration of
Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies (Draft for
Comments), which provides that PRC issuers listing their securities on foreign
stock exchanges need to file a notice to CSRC. In the event that the above
proposed provisions and rules are enacted, the relevant filing procedures of the
CSRC and other governmental authorities may be required in connection with any
offering of our securities. As of the date of this report, the new laws and
guidelines that became effective have not impacted the Company's ability to
conduct its business, accept foreign investments, or list on a U.S. or other
foreign stock exchange; however, new rules and regulations could be adopted and
there are uncertainties in the interpretation and enforcement of existing laws
and guidelines, which could materially and adversely impact our business and
financial outlook and may impact our ability to accept foreign investments or
continue to list on a U.S. or other foreign stock exchange. Our VIE and certain
subsidiaries of the Company are incorporated and operating in mainland China and
they have received all required permissions from Chinese authorities to operate
their current business in China, including Business licenses, Bank Account Open
Permits and Value Added Telecom Business License.

Chain Cloud Mall is a unique real-name based blockchain e-commerce shopping
platform that integrates blockchain, internet technology. The CCM shared
shopping mall platform is designed to be a block-chain based shopping mall for
merchants and goods, not the exchange of digital currencies, and it currently
only accepts payment from credit cards, Alipay and WeChat. Currently, Chain
Cloud Mall adopts an "Enterprise Communication as A Service" or eCAAS platform
which is a part of 3.15 China Responsible Brand Program run by the
Anti-Counterfeiting Committee of China Foundation of Consumer Protection (the
"Anti-Counterfeiting Committee"). Anti-Counterfeiting Committee reviews and
accepts the companies to join its 3.15 China Responsible Brand Program. After
acceptance, these companies are authorized to use anti-counterfeiting labels on
their products which have authenticated joint signatures of these companies and
Anti-Counterfeiting Committee that are recorded on the blockchain quality and
safety traceability system controlled by the Anti-Counterfeiting Committee. The
companies will sell such products on our eCAAS platform. The companies can also
use sales agents to sell their products on our eCAAS platform and parties can
negotiate the commission percentages for the products sold. Any new sales agent
must be recommended by existing agents and pay a one-time fee to the eCAAS
platform to be admitted as the authorized agent to provide sales agent services
on the platform.



The Company started its trial operation of NONOGIRL, a cross-border e-commerce
platform, in March 2020 and formally launched it in July 2020. The cross-border
e-commerce platform aimed to build a new s2b2c (supplier to business and
consumer) outsourcing sales platform dominated by social media influencers. It
was aimed at the growing female consumer market, with the ability to broadcast,
short video, and all forms communication through the platform. It could also
create a sales oriented sharing ecosystem with other major social media used by
customers. The Company's promotion strategy previously mainly relied on the
training of members and distributors through meetings and conferences. Due to
the outbreak of COVID-19, the Chinese government put a restriction on large
gatherings. These restrictions made the promotion strategy for our online
e-commerce platforms difficult to be implemented and the Company has experienced
difficulties to subscribe new members for its online e-commerce platforms. Due
to the lack of new subscribers, in June 2021, the Company suspended its
cross-border e-commerce platform (NONOGIRL). Also, since the second quarter of
2021, the Company has transformed its member-based business model of Chain Cloud
Mall to a sale agent based eCAAS platform and began to provide supply chain
financing services and trading of coal for coal mines and power generation
plants as well as aluminum ingots.



The Company currently has ten direct wholly-owned subsidiaries: DigiPay FinTech
Limited ("DigiPay"), a company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin
Islands, Future FinTech (Hong Kong) Limited, a company incorporated under the

CCM Shopping Mall



Due to the lack of new member subscriptions caused by restrictions on our
promotion strategy for the control of spread of COVID-19, we have transformed
the CCM shopping mall from a member based platform to a sale agent based eCAAS
platform since the second quarter of 2021. The eCAAS platform is entrusted by
the Anti-Counterfeiting Committee to run its Responsible Brand Program.



Anti-Counterfeiting Committee reviews and accepts the companies to join its
Responsible Brand Program. After acceptance, these companies are authorized to
use 315 anti-counterfeiting labels on their products and sell them on our eCAAS
platform. The companies can also use sales agents to sell their products on our
eCAAS platform and parties can negotiate the commission percentages for the
products sold. Any new sales agent must be recommended by existing agents and
pay a one-time fee to the eCAAS platform to be admitted as the authorized agent
to provide sales agent services on the platform.

Coal and Aluminum Ingots Supply Chain Financing Service and Trading

Since the second quarter of 2021, we started coal supply chain financing and trading operations. Since the third quarter of 2021, we started supply chain financing services and trading business for aluminum ingots.

Our supply chain finance business mainly serves the receivables and payables for
industrial customers, obtains the creditor's rights or rights of commodity goods
for large state-owned enterprises through trade execution, provides customers
with working capital, accelerates capital turnover, and then expands the
business scale and improves the business value.



Through our supply chain service ability and customer resources, we can tap into
low-risk assets, flexibly carry out financial services for the actual financial
needs of certain industries, and reduce the overall risk of the business by
using the control of business flow, goods logistics and capital flow in the
process of commodity circulation.



We focus on bulk coal and aluminum ingots and take large state-owned or listed
companies as the core service targets; We use our own funds as the operation
basis, actively use a variety of channels and products of financing, such as
banks, commercial factoring companies, accounts receivable, asset-backed
securities, and other innovative financing methods to obtain sufficient funds.



We sign purchase and sale agreements with suppliers and buyers. The suppliers
are responsible for the supply and transportation of coal to the end users'
designated freight yard or transfer the title of aluminum ingots to us in
certain warehouses. We select the customers and suppliers that have good credit
and reputation.

Recent developments related to the COVID-19 outbreak

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus was reported and has spread
throughout China and other parts of the world. On March 11, 2020, the World
Health Organization characterized the outbreak as a "pandemic". In early 2020,
Chinese government took emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus,
including quarantines, travel restrictions, and the temporary closure of office
buildings and facilities in China.  In response to the evolving dynamics related
to the COVID-19 outbreak, the Company is following the guidelines of local
authorities as it prioritizes the health and safety of its employees,
contractors, suppliers and business partners. Our offices in China were closed
and the employees worked from home at the end of January 20200 until late March
2020. The quarantines, travel restrictions, and the temporary closure of office
buildings have materially negatively impacted our business. Our suppliers were
negatively affected, and could continue to be negatively affected in their
ability to supply and ship products to our customers in case of any resurgence
of COVID-19. Our customers that have been negatively impacted by the outbreak of
COVID-19 may reduce their budgets to purchase products and services from us,
which may materially adversely impact our revenue. The business operations of
the third parties' stores on our e-commerce platform have been and continue to
be negatively impacted by the outbreak, which in turn adversely affects the
business of our platform as a whole as well as our financial condition and
operating results. The outbreak has had and continues to have disruption to our
supply chain, logistics providers, customers or our marketing activities with
the new variants of COVID-19, which could materially adversely impact our
business and results of operations. Although China has already begun to recover
from the outbreak of COVID-19, there are still outbreak in various cities and
provinces due to new variants, including the recent outbreak of Omicron variant
in Xi'an city, Hong Kong, Shanghai and Beijing in 2022, which have resulted
quarantines, travel restrictions, and temporary closure of office buildings and
facilities in these cities. The Company's promotion strategy of CCM Shopping
Mall previously mainly relied on the training of members and distributors
through meetings and conferences. Chinese government still puts a restriction on
large gatherings. These restrictions made the promotion strategy for our online
e-commerce platforms difficult to implement and the Company has experienced
difficulties to subscribe new members for its online e-commerce platforms. Due
to the lack of new subscribers, in June 2021, the Company suspended its
cross-border e-commerce platform NONOGIRL. Also, since the second quarter of
2021, the Company has transformed its member-based Chain Cloud Mall to a sale
agent based eCAAS platform and began to provide supply chain financing services.



                                       32





The global economy has also been materially negatively affected by the COVID-19
and there is continued severe uncertainty about the duration and intensity of
its impacts. The Chinese and global growth forecast is extremely uncertain,
which would seriously affect our business.



While the potential economic impact brought by, and the duration of COVID-19 and
its new variants may be difficult to assess or predict, a widespread pandemic
could result in significant disruption of global financial markets, reducing our
ability to access capital, which could negatively affect our liquidity. In
addition, a recession or market correction resulting from the spread of COVID-19
and its new variants could materially negatively affect our business and the
value of our common stock.

Further, as we do not have access to a revolving credit facility, there can be
no assurance that we would be able to secure commercial debt financing in the
future in the event that we require additional capital. We currently believe
that our financial resources will be adequate to see us through the outbreak.
However, in the event that we do need to raise capital in the future,
outbreak-related instability in the securities markets could adversely affect
our ability to raise additional capital.



Consequently, our results of operations have been materially and adversely
affected by COVID-19 pandemic. Any potential further impact to our results will
depend on, to a large extent, future developments and new information that may
emerge regarding the duration and severity of the COVID-19, new variants of
COVID-19, the efficacy and distribution of COVID-19 vaccines and the actions
taken by government authorities and other entities to contain the COVID-19 or
treat its impact, almost all of which are beyond our control.

CCM Shopping Mall Membership fees decreased from $12 for the three months ended
June 30, 2021 to $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 because there was
no new membership enrollment and the Company has transformed its business model
of CCM Shopping Mall from a member-based platform to a sales agent based eCAAS
platform since the second quarter of 2021. Due to COVID-19 related restriction
on large gathering for meetings and conferences which primarily used by us
before the pandemic for marketing and business development of new members, we
were unable to attract new member enrollment and have transformed business

model
for the platform.

Coal and Aluminum Ingots Supply Chain Financing/Trading business increased from
$1.35 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 to $3.65 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2022. The COVID-19 outbreak in Xi'an and other
cities that we had our supply chain services in first quarter 2022 result in the
coal and aluminum ingot income was nil in first quarter 2022. As the outbreak of
pandemic is mostly under control in China and business are generally back to
normal, the income the coal and aluminum ingot increased in second quarter 2022.



Asset management service increased from $0 for the three months ended June 30,
2021 to $3.70 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. This is a new
business we acquired during the third quarter 2021.



Other revenues increased from $13 from three months ended June 30, 2021 to
$66,863 for the three months ended June 30, 2022, which were mainly interest
income and subsidiary income of NTAM under Employment Support Scheme 2022 from
Hong Kong government under the Anti-epidemic Fund to provide wage subsidies to
employees during the three months ended June 30, 2022, which we did not have for
the same period of 2021.
