Item 5.03: Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

 

On January 14, 2018, the Board of Directors of Fortune Valley Treasures, Inc. (the “Company”) approved a change in the fiscal year end from a fiscal year ending August 31 to a fiscal year ending December 31. The Company expects to make the fiscal year change on a prospective basis and will not adjust operating results for prior periods. The change to the Company’s fiscal year will not impact the Company’s calendar year results for the year ended August 31, 2017. However, the change will impact the prior year comparability of each of the fiscal quarters and annual period in 2018 in future filings. The Company believes this change will provide numerous benefits, including aligning its reporting periods to be more consistent with potential subsidiary companies.

 

The new fiscal year commenced January 1, 2018.

 

The reporting periods and applicable reports for fiscal year 2018 are expected to be as follows:

 

FISCAL PERIOD  REPORTING PERIOD  REPORT TO BE FILED
Fiscal year 2017  January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017  Annual Report on Form 10-K
First quarter of fiscal 2018  January 1, 2018 to March 31, 2018  Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
Second quarter of fiscal 2018  April 1, 2018 to June 30, 2018  Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
Third quarter of fiscal 2018  July 1, 2018 to September 30, 2018  Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
Fiscal year 2018  January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2018  Annual Report on Form 10-K

 

Financial Impact

 

The Company expects the change in fiscal year end to have no financial impact on the 2018 quarterly and annual financial results.
