ITEM 1. BUSINESS

 

Business Overview

 

China VTV Limited (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada, originally under the name T-Bamm, on February 19, 2015. The Company has conducted limited business operations and has had no revenues from operations since its inception. The Company was organized to sell Bamboo T-Shirts over the internet. On February 9, 2018, the Company changed its name from T-Bamm to “China VTV Limited”.

 

On March 15, 2019, the Company and Mr. Guoping Chen, the then Principal Executive Officer and President of the Company, entered into a share exchange agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with China VTV Ltd. (“China VTV”), a Hong Kong company, and all of the shareholders of China VTV ( “China VTV Shareholders”), pursuant to which the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of China VTV from the China VTV Shareholders by issuing an aggregate of 110,550,000 restricted shares of common stock of the Company (the “Stock Exchange”) to China VTV Shareholders pro rata upon closing of the Stock Exchange. Upon closing of the Stock Exchange, China VTV became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and China VTV Shareholders collectively owned approximately 51.29% of the then issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock on a fully diluted basis. As a result of the Stock Exchange, the Company and its operational subsidiaries primarily engaged in broadcasting news, videos, television shows, tourists’ programs and other entertainment programs via the over-the-top (the “OTT”) platform over the internet. We disclosed such transaction in a current report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on March 21, 2019, which is incorporated herein by reference.

 

On December 18, 2019, the Company, VTV Global Culture Media (Beijing) Co., Ltd., a Chinese wholly foreign owned entity and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“WFOE”), Butterfly Effect Culture Media (Beijing) Co., Ltd., a corporation formed under the laws of China (the “Butterfly Effect”) and each and all of the shareholders of Butterfly Effect Media (each, a “Target Shareholder”, and collectively, “Target Shareholders”) entered into a business acquisition agreement (the “Acquisition Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company through its WFOE agreed to acquire Butterfly Effect Media through a series of management agreements (the “VIE Agreements”) to effectively control and own Butterfly Effect Media (the “Acquisition”). In accordance with the Acquisition Agreement, in consideration for the effective control over Butterfly Effect Media, the Company issued an aggregate of 24,000,000 shares of its common stock (the “Common Stock”), par value $0.001 per share, at the stipulated price of $4.00 per share (the “Stock Consideration”) without respect of the stock price at which the Common Stock trades, to the Target Shareholders in accordance with the percentage (the “Target Shareholder Equity Percentage”) listed on Schedule A as set forth in the Acquisition Agreement. In addition, subject to the terms and conditions in the Acquisition Agreement, the Company and its subsidiaries agreed to pay a total of RMB 288,000,000 (the “Cash Consideration”) to the Target Shareholders pro rata with the Target Shareholder Equity Percentage over a period of time as set forth therein.

 

On February 24, 2020, the Company completed the acquisition transaction of Butterfly Effect Media contemplated under the Acquisition Agreement dated December 18, 2019, as amended, pursuant to which the Company effectively controls Butterfly Effect Media via a series of variable interest entity Agreements. Butterfly Effect Media is a literature and media company that devotes to literary adaptation to another medium, such as television shows, movies, audible books or video games. Butterfly Effect Media’s business chain starts from composing books or scripts, licensing copyrights, producing moving pictures or video games to eventually distributing the moving pictures, audio products and video games on the internet. With the addition of Butterfly Effect Media, we expanded our internet media platform business into the content production business and hope that our Blockchain cloud-based platform and the content production business may benefit from each other, although there is no assurance of any of such benefits or advantages.

 

Through mergers and acquisitions, we have become an internet-based online entertainment media company with focuses on audience interaction, entertainment and business opportunities. The Company’s goal is to build a dream for young entertainment people and create entertainment value for audience. As of the date of this annual report, the Company primarily distributes news, produces moving pictures, trades copyrights, and produces video games.

Principal Products

 

We are at the early stage of our business development. As of the date of this annual report, the Company has established a functioning Blockchain cloud-based platform which distributes news, videos, television shows, travel programs and other entertainment programs via internet to the end devices (the “End Devices”), such as computers, smart TVs, smart phones and tablets.

 

The Company has engaged Xin Mei Culture Distribution Co., Ltd. (“Xin Mei Technology”) to develop the cloud technology and internet services which are integral to the establishment and maintenance of the OTT platform. On December 22, 2016, China VTV (HK) and Xin Mei Technology entered into the OTT development and maintenance agreement (the “OTT Development Agreement”) pursuant to which Xin Mei Technology provided the information technology to build and update a customized OTT platform for China VTV(HK), through which China VTV (HK) may distribute its programs and shows to the audiences’ End Devices. The term of the OTT Development Agreement was five years. The total consideration of the OTT Development Agreement was an aggregate of thirty million (RMB 30,000,000) Chinese dollars (equivalent to $4,474,673 U.S. dollars), which was payable over the five-year period in the combination of cash and the Company’s stock. Later the Company and Xin Mei Technology mutually agreed to terminate the OTT Development Agreement due to changes to the Company’s business needs. On December 31, 2018, the Company and Xin Mei Technology entered into a termination agreement, pursuant to which Xin Mei ceased its maintenance services to the Company’s OTT platform on December 31, 2018 and also waived the Company’s obligation to pay the balance of service fee balance of RMB 16,000,000 in cash or the Company’s common stock.

 

In addition, the new CTO of the Company and the engineers at CybEye Image, Inc. (“CybEye”) play an important role in incorporating the blockchain technology to the OTT Platform and updating and maintaining the OTT Platform to ensure high quality online streaming services. On September 30, 2019, the Company entered into a strategic development agreement (the “Strategic Development Agreement”) with CybEye pursuant to which CybEye will develop and provide technical support and maintenance to the Company’s online streaming media platform, the platform, and incorporate blockchain technologies to the Company’s media platform to enhance security. The Strategic Development Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until September 29, 2022. During the term of the Strategic Development Agreement, CybEye will develop the OTT Platform only for the Company, and will not engage in providing any services to other media companies. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Strategic Development Agreement, the Company shall issue to CybEye two million and five hundred thousand (2,500,000) shares of its unissued and registered common stock at one time and forty thousand (40,000) shares its unissued and registered common stock per month during the term of the Strategic Development Agreement upon the effectiveness of a registration statement to register those shares.

 

In connection with the Strategic Development Agreement, on September 30, 2019, the Company and CybEye entered into a non-exclusive licensing agreement (the “Licensing Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company and its affiliates were granted a fully-paid perpetual non-exclusive right and license to use and develop any intellectual property and proprietary information, including, without limitation, any patents and trademarks as set forth in Schedule A thereto, which CybEye owns, to carry out the purposes and goals of the Strategic Development Agreement. On December 13, 2019, the Company and CybEye entered into an amendment to the Licensing Agreement, pursuant to which the term of the Licensing Agreement was amended to twenty (20) years (from September 30, 2019 to September 29, 2039) and the Company agreed to issue 2,500,000 shares of its common stock to CybEye as set forth in the Strategic Development Agreement dated September 30, 2019.

 

Our internal information technology team and CybEye have included blockchain and cloud data technologies to our online OTT platform and developed the second generation of our media distribution platform (hereinafter referred as the “blockchain cloud-based platform”). The Blockchain cloud-based platform consists of the IOS app, the Android app, online updates, online video and audio services, channel services and multi-media functions. The fully-integrated OTT system digitalizes the traditional film-based videos and distributes the digital contents over the internet to various End Devices. Recently, the Company and its technology partners together developed the live-streaming function of the blockchain cloud-based platform where the Company can distribute live programs digitally. As of the date of this report, the Company has broadcasted many live programs, such as Boao Forum for Asia (an established political forum in Asia) and Xiang Fei Jia Dao (a travel program). The Company has reached more than 1 million viewers who watched its live programs. The blockchain cloud-based platform can distribute, upload and broadcast contents constantly (24-7) on multiple social media channels and websites on smart TVs and smart phones.

Intellectual Property

 

We rely on a combination of copyright, trademark and trade secret laws and restrictions on disclosure to protect our intellectual property rights. Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy or otherwise obtain and use our technology and brand names. Monitoring unauthorized use of our products and brands is difficult and costly, and we cannot be certain that the steps we have taken will prevent misappropriation of our technology and brand names, particularly in foreign countries where the laws may not protect our proprietary rights as fully as in the United States. From time to time, we may have to resort to litigation to enforce our intellectual property rights, which could result in substantial costs and diversion of our resources.

 

In addition, third parties may initiate litigation against us alleging infringement of their proprietary rights. In the event of a successful claim of infringement and our failure or inability to develop non-infringing technology or license the infringed or similar technology on a timely basis, our business could be harmed. In addition, even if we are able to license the infringed or similar technology, license fees could be substantial and may adversely affect our results of operations.

 

Copyrights

 

The Company and its strategic partner CybEye have developed a new software system for the blockchain cloud-based platform. The Company may register any copyrights related to the blockchain cloud-based platform.

 

As of the date of this annual report, the Company, through Butterfly Effect Media, owned various copyrights to approximately 49 original stories, including the right to adapt the original stories to audible books, TV shows, movies, or video games and market and distribute online or offline the adapted contents.

Trademarks

 

In addition to the licensed marks from CybEye, we have our own marks to distinguish ourselves from other online media companies. The Company started using the mark or logo as referenced below since February 2015 in various jurisdictions, such as mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, the U.S., France, Japan and Malaysia.

Later in 2019, we updated the company’s logo as following:

 

On November 15, 2017, the Company and China VTV Taiwan Co., Ltd. (“China VTV Taiwan”) entered into a strategic partnership agreement, pursuant to which the two parties agreed to work together to promote the visibility of the Company. The Company believes that China VTV Taiwan did not perform under such agreement and the agreement was terminated shortly thereafter. However, the Company then discovered that China VTV Taiwan submitted a trademark registration of the Company’s mark consisting of the English letters, Chinese letters and the rainbow, as referenced above under its own name in Taiwan without consent or approval from the Company. Immediately thereafter on December 7, 2018, the Company filed an opposition to China VTV Taiwan’s mark registration in front of the Taiwan Intellectual Property Office. On November 12, 2019, the Taiwan Intellectual Property Office denied China VTV Taiwan’s mark registration application and China VTV Taiwan appealed such decision to the Ministry of Economic Affairs of Taiwan. On April 14, 2020, the Ministry of Economic Affairs of Taiwan affirmed the decision of the Taiwan Intellectual Property Office that it agreed with the Company on denying China VTV Taiwan’s mark registration in Taiwan. On July 7, 2020, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary in Hong Kong received the affirmation from the Taiwan Intellectual Property Office to register the Company’s mark and the accompanying text in Taiwan.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

On November 15, 2017, the Company and China VTV Taiwan entered into a strategic partnership agreement, pursuant to which the two parties agreed to work together to promote the visibility of the Company. The Company believes that China VTV Taiwan did not perform under such agreement and the agreement was terminated shortly thereafter. However, the Company then discovered that China VTV Taiwan submitted a trademark registration of the Company’s mark consisting of the English letters, Chinese letters and the rainbow, as referenced above under its own name in Taiwan without consent or approval from the Company. Immediately thereafter on December 7, 2018, the Company filed an opposition to China VTV Taiwan’s mark registration in front of the Taiwan Intellectual Property Office. On November 12, 2019, the Taiwan Intellectual Property Office denied China VTV Taiwan’s mark registration application and China VTV Taiwan appealed such decision to the Ministry of Economic Affairs of Taiwan. On April 14, 2020, the Ministry of Economic Affairs of Taiwan affirmed the decision of the Taiwan Intellectual Property Office that it agreed with the Company on denying China VTV Taiwan’s mark registration in Taiwan. On July 7, 2020, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary in Hong Kong received the affirmation from the Taiwan Intellectual Property Office to register the Company’s mark and the accompanying text in Taiwan.

 

Other than the administrative proceeding set forth above, there are no other pending or threatened legal proceedings to which the Company is a party or in which any director, officer or affiliate of the Company, any owner of record or beneficially of more than 5% of any class of voting securities of the Company, or stockholder is a party adverse to the Company or has a material interest adverse to the Company.

Organization and Business Operations

 

China VTV Limited (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on February 19, 2015. On February 9, 2018, we filed with the Nevada Secretary of State to change the name of our corporation from “T-Bamm” to “China VTV Limited”.

China VTV Ltd. (“China VTV HK”) was incorporated on January 9, 2015 under the laws of Hong Kong. The business of China VTV is developing an Over-The-Top (the “OTT”) streaming media platform that distributes streaming media as a standalone product directly to viewers over the Internet, bypassing telecommunications, multichannel television, and broadcast television platforms that traditionally act as a controller or distributor of such content. China VTV HK provides news, entertainment shows, TV episodes and other programs on its website and social media accounts.

 

Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement dated March 15, 2019, on May 6, 2019, we issued an aggregate of 115,550,000 shares of our common stock to the shareholders of China VTV HK in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of China VTV HK and five individuals who provided prior services to China VTV HK. As a result, China VTV HK has become our wholly-owned subsidiary. The acquisition of China VTV HK is treated as a reverse acquisition, and the business of China VTV became our business.

On December 18, 2019, the Company, VTV Global Culture Media (Beijing) Co., Ltd., a Chinese wholly foreign owned entity and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“WFOE”), Butterfly Effect Culture Media (Beijing) Co., Ltd., a corporation formed under the laws of China (the “Target”) and each and all of the shareholders of the Target (each, a “Target Shareholder”, and collectively, “Target Shareholders”) entered into a business acquisition agreement (the “Acquisition Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company through its WFOE agreed to acquire the Target through a series of management agreements (the “VIE Agreements”) to effectively control and own the Target (the “Acquisition”). In accordance with the Acquisition Agreement, in consideration for the effective control over the Target, the Company issued an aggregate of 24,000,000 shares of its common stock (the “Common Stock”) to the Target Shareholders in accordance with the percentage (the “Target Shareholder Equity Percentage”) as set forth in the Acquisition Agreement. In addition, subject to the terms and conditions in the Acquisition Agreement, the Company and its subsidiaries agreed to pay a total of RMB 288,000,000 (the “Cash Consideration”) to the Target Shareholders pro rata with the Target Shareholder Equity Percentage over a period of time as set forth therein.

 

Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Acquisition Agreement, the Company also agreed to dedicate forty percent (40%) of the net proceeds actually received in any public or private equity offering (the “Qualified Offering”), in which the Company raises at least $20,000,000 USD in gross proceeds before deducting any underwriter or placement agent’s discount and commissions and any offering expenses, to be used to pay the Target Shareholders pro rata with the Target Shareholder Equity Percentage until the total amount of the Cash Consideration is paid in full, without the obligation to pay any interest thereon.

 

In addition, the Acquisition Agreement provides that in the event that the Target fails to meet the net profit milestones as set forth in the Acquisition Agreement, each Target Shareholder shall return the Common Stock or equivalent amount of cash (the “Claw-back”) according to the formula specified in the Acquisition Agreement. However, subject to the Claw-back provision, the Acquisition Agreement prescribes that if the Company does not make payments of at least half of the Cash Consideration to the Target Shareholders within one (1) year commencing on the first trading day (excluding the first trading day) of the Common Stock on a national stock exchange, i) the Target shall have the right to appoint the majority of the Company’s Board and manage and operate the Company and its subsidiaries and ii) each of the Target Shareholders shall have the right to receive the number of shares of the Common Stock equal to the result of (the total amount of Cash Consideration – the sum of cash received by the Target Shareholders)/ $2.00 per share* Target Shareholder Equity Percentage.

 

The Company completed this acquisition transaction on February 24, 2020 (the “Closing Date”) and acquired Butterfly Effect Media’s business.

 

Butterfly Effect Culture Media is primarily engaging in literary adaptation business. The Company centers its business on internet Chinese literary and literary adaptation for television shows, movies, audible books and mobile phone video games that are primarily distributed through online platforms to provide marketing and media services to the entertainment industry in China, including production of media promotion and advertising services to movies, television shows, actors and commercial products in China. For the year ended February 29, 2020, the focus and revenue stream for the Company was the purchase and sale of literature copyrights, and licensing of the copyrights to video game software development companies.

 

Following the acquisition, the Company plans to operate as a single entity with two relatively separate but integrated business units, which are 1) the e-media online streaming platform operated by the Company’s Hong Kong subsidiary and 2) the literary adaptation business whereby the Target adapts original stories or books into TV shows, movies and mobile video games to be distributed in and outside the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) through the internet. The Company is currently exploring the model to distribute contents, such as TV show episodes, produced by Butterfly Effect Culture Media on our online streaming platform. While each of the two business units is operating independently of each other, they are supervised by the board of directors (the “Board”) of the Company and share certain common resources and functions, including, but not limited to, accounting, business development, an marketing functions. The new Board after January 10, 2020 has representatives from both the Company and Butterfly Effect Media.

Pursuant to the terms of the Strategic Development Agreement, upon listing of the Company’s common stock on a national stock exchange market, the Company shall make a cash payment of $150,000 to CybEye instead of the stock payment at the end of each whole month for CybEye’s services pursuant to this Agreement.

In connection with the Strategic Development Agreement, on September 30, 2019, the Company and CybEye entered into a non-exclusive licensing agreement (the “Licensing Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company and its affiliates were granted a fully-paid perpetual non-exclusive right and license to use and develop any intellectual property and proprietary information, including, without limitation, any patents and trademarks as set forth in Schedule A thereto, which CybEye owns, to carry out the purposes and goals of the Strategic Development Agreement.

The Executive Employment Agreement has a term (the “Term”) of three (3) years, unless terminated earlier pursuant to the termination provisions therein. In accordance with the Employment Agreement, the Executive shall receive incentive stock options to purchase five hundred thousand (500,000) shares of the Company’s common stock each year during the Term of the employment pursuant to the stock option agreement (the “Stock Option Agreement”). Upon termination of the Strategic Development Agreement, the Executive Employment Agreement shall also be terminated, unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing. In connection with the Executive Employment Agreement, on September 30, 2019 (the “Grant Date”), the Company and the Executive entered into the Stock Option Agreement under the Company’s 2019 stock plan (the “Plan”), whereby the Company issued the Executive options (the “Options”) to purchase an aggregate of five hundred thousand (500,000) shares of the Company’s common stock, at an exercise price of $12.00 per share. The Stock Option Agreement provides that the Options shall become exercisable on September 29, 2020, one year from the Grant Date, and shall expire on September 29, 2026. Subject to the terms of the Stock Option Agreement and Plan, the Options shall vest in equal amounts each quarter from the Grant Date.

Impact of Covid-19

 

A novel strain of coronavirus, or COVID-19, was first identified in China in December 2019 and subsequently declared a pandemic in March 11, 2020, by the World Health Organization. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, all travel has been severely curtailed to protect the health of our employees and comply with local guidelines, and we temporarily closed our china offices from February to early March 2020. To date, COVID-19 has surfaced in nearly all regions around the world and resulted in travel restrictions and business slowdowns in affected areas. The full impact of the pandemic on our business, operations and financial results will depend on various factors that continue to evolve which we may not accurately predict.

During the year ended February 29, 2020, we realized $3,834 in revenue, representing an increase of $3,834 as compared to $0 for the year ended February 28, 2019, as a result of one-time advertising revenue that was generated by the Company’s subsidiary, China VTV Ltd. The Company acquired China VTV Ltd., through a reverse merger transaction, in May 2019.

 

Cost of Revenue:

 

Our cost of sales consisted of the fees that we paid to telecommunication carriers and other service providers for telecommunications and other content delivery-related services. During the year ended February 29, 2020, we had cost of revenue of $1,278, compared to $0 during the year ended February 28, 2019, as a result of the increase in advertising revenue.

Sales and marketing expenses during the year ended February 29, 2020 was $6,390, an increase of $6,390 from $0 during the year ended February 28, 2019. The Company did not have any business operations during the year ended February 28, 2019.

 

Research and Development Expenses:

 

Research and development expenses mainly consisted of the costs incurred in the development and improvement of the Company’s OTT service platform. Research and development expenses decreased by $629,790 to $231,791 for the year ended February 29, 2020, as compared to $861,581 for the year ended February 28, 2019. The decrease in the research and development expenses was primarily due to the decrease in the development and technical support cost for our OTT Platform.

 

During the year ended February 29, 2020, we engaged our business strategic partner, CybEye Image, Inc. (“CybEye”), in developing and providing technical support and maintenance to the Company’s online streaming media OTT Platform and incorporating blockchain technologies to the Company’s OTT Platform to enhance security. Pursuant to the “Strategic Development Agreement”, entered by the Company and CybEye, the Company shall issue 2,500,000 shares of its common stock at one time and forty thousand (40,000) shares its common stock per month to CybEye during the term of the contract term. In addition, the Company granted the CybEye’s developers stock options to purchase 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock each year during the term of the employment pursuant to the stock option agreement. The total share-based compensation of $231,791 was recognized as research and development expenses for the year ended February 29, 2020.

 

General and Administrative Expenses:

 

General and administrative expenses primarily consist of legal, accounting, other professional service fees, the compensations to the Company’s employees, executives, and directors, and depreciation expenses of the capital assets. General and administrative expenses were $1,271,630 for the year ended February 29, 2020, as compared to $13,426 for the year ended February 28, 2019, representing an increase of $1,258,204.

The increase in net loss for the year ended February 29, 2020 was primarily attributable to the stock-based compensations to Cybeye developers and the Company’s executives and directors.

Table of Contents

 

Comprehensive Loss:

 

Our business operates in Chinese RMB and Hong Kong Dollars, but we report our results in our SEC filings in U.S. Dollars. The conversion of our accounts from RMB and Hong Kong Dollars to U.S. Dollars results in translation adjustments, which are reported as a middle step between net income and comprehensive income. The net loss is added to the accumulated deficit while the translation adjustment is added to a line item on our balance sheet labeled "other comprehensive income," since it is more reflective of changes in the relative values of U.S. and the foreign currencies than of the success of our business. During the year ended February 29, 2020, the effect of converting our financial results to USD was a loss of $1,335 to our other comprehensive income, as compared to a loss of $763 during the year ended February 28, 2019 as a result of the currency exchange rate fluctuation.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Overview

 

Prior to the acquisitions of China VTV Ltd. (“China VTV HK”) and Butterfly Effect Media, the Company had only nominal operations and did not have any cash generated from business operations. We funded our operating expenses by borrowing loans from our related parties. We had cash and cash equivalents of $51,551 at February 29, 2020, compared to $17,548 at February 28, 2019. As of February 29, 2020, we have incurred accumulated operating losses of $3,844,738 since inception. As of February 29, 2020, and February 28, 2019, we had a working capital deficit of $28,066,471 and $598,354, respectively.

 

During the year ended February 29, 2020, we issued 25.1M common stock shares to four individual subscribers for gross proceeds of $732,963, in which $114,678 was received and the rest of $618,285 was to be received in the following year. In May 2019, we acquired China VTV HK that generated 3,834 revenue during the year ended February 29, 2020. In February 2020, we acquired Butterfly Effect Culture Media through a series of management agreements (the “VIE Agreements”). In accordance with the Business Cooperation Agreement, in exchange for the Company’s exclusive technical, business and other related consulting services, the VIE will pay a service fee to the Company, which constitutes 100% of the VIE’s after-tax income, resulting in a transfer of 100% of the net profits from the VIE to the Company. The service fees shall be due and payable on a monthly basis, within 30 days after the end of each month. Butterfly Effect Culture Media has been profitable in the past three years, and its financing arrangements consist of a revolving credit facility from the Bank of Beijing that met our short-term liquidity requirements for the past year. During the next twelve months, we will file a Form S-1, shortly after the filing of our 10-K, to raise approximately $120 million fund; we also plan to raise approximately $3 million from private placements, and sign additional equity credit lines of $1.5 million with other banks. We anticipate that the cash generated from the VIE operations as well as these financing activities will be sufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements for the next 12 months.

Summary of Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the related disclosures of contingent liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The SEC has defined critical accounting policies as those policies management believes are most important to the portrayal of the Company's financial condition and results of operations and which require the Company to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. Based on this definition, the Company has identified the following critical accounting policies and estimates addressed below. Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our Consolidated Financial Statements. The following describes our critical accounting policies and estimates:

 

Use of Estimates

 

Our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.

 

We base our estimates on historical experience, available market information, appropriate valuation methodologies, and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Estimates are used for such items as depreciable lives for long-lived assets including intangible assets, fair value of stock-based compensations, tax provisions, and assets and liabilities assumed in business combinations, among others. In addition, estimates are used to test long-lived assets and goodwill for impairment.

Table of Contents

 

Business Combinations

 

We account for acquired businesses treated as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recorded at the date of acquisition at their respective fair values. Any excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred in the consolidated financial statements. Significant judgments are used in determining the estimated fair values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and in determining estimates of useful lives of long-lived assets acquired. Estimates of the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, and when appropriate, include assistance from independent third-party appraisal firms.

 

Share-based compensation

 

We adopted the provision of ASC Topic 718 which requires us to measure and recognize compensation expenses for an award of an equity instrument based on the grant-date fair value. The cost is recognized over the vesting period (or the requisition service period). ASC Topic 718 also requires us to measure the cost of a liability classified award based on its current fair value. The fair value of the award will be remeasured subsequently at each reporting date through the settlement date. Changes in fair value during the requisite service period are recognized as compensation cost over that period. Further, ASC Topic 718 requires us to estimate forfeitures in calculating the expense related to stock-based compensation,

 

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Sholes Valuation Model. The expect volatility was based on the historical volatilities of our listed common stocks in the United States and other relevant market information. We use historical data to estimate share option exercises and employee departure behavior used in the valuation model. The expected terms of share options granted is derived from the output of the option pricing model and represents the period that share options granted are expected to be outstanding. Since the share options once exercised will primarily traded in the U.S. capital market, the risk-free rate for periods within the contractual term of the share option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

 

Valuation of Goodwill, Intangible Assets and Investments:

 

As of February 29, 2020, the Company had goodwill of $21,552,596 as a result of the acquisitions of Butterfly Effect Media. In addition, the Company recognized intangible assets measured primarily based upon significant inputs that are not observable in the market and represent Level 3 measurements as defined by ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements.

 

The Company applies ASC 805, Business Combinations and ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other to account for goodwill and intangible assets. The Company amortizes all finite-lived intangible assets over their respective estimated useful lives while goodwill has an indefinite life and is not amortized. Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis and, when specific circumstances dictate, between annual tests. As of February 29, 2020, the carrying amount of the Company’s goodwill was considered as the fair value of the goodwill.

 

We also perform a review of our purchased-intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the useful life is shorter than we had originally estimated or that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. If such facts and circumstances exist, we assess the recoverability of purchased-intangible assets by comparing the projected undiscounted net cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their remaining lives against their respective carrying amounts. Impairments, if any, are based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of those assets. If the useful life of the asset is shorter than originally estimated, we accelerate the rate of amortization and amortize the remaining carrying value over the new shorter useful life. There was no impairment of purchased-intangible assets identified for the years ended February 29, 2020 and February 28, 2019.

The Company has investments in equity securities. For equity securities that do not have a readily determinable fair value, we consider forecasted financial performance of the investee companies, as well as volatility inherit in the external markets for these investments. If these forecasts are not met, impairment charges may be recorded.

Valuation of Income Taxes

 

We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities at enacted income tax rates for the temporary differences between the financial reporting bases and the tax bases of our assets and liabilities. Any effects of changes in income tax rates or tax laws are included in the provision for income taxes in the period of enactment. Our net deferred taxes primarily consist of net operating loss carry forwards, or NOLs, intangibles and prepaids. We are required to record a valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets if we conclude that it is more likely than not that taxable income generated in the future will be insufficient to utilize the future income tax benefit from our net deferred tax assets (namely, the NOLs) prior to expiration. We periodically review this conclusion, which requires significant management judgment. If we are able to conclude in a future period that a future income tax benefit from our net deferred tax assets has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized, we are required in that period to reduce the related valuation allowance with a corresponding decrease in income tax expense. This would result in a non-cash benefit to our net income in the period of the determination. In subsequent periods, we would expect to recognize income tax expense equal to our pre-tax income multiplied by our effective income tax rate, an expense that was not recognized prior to the reduction of the valuation allowance.

 

As of February 29, 2020, we had NOLs for United States federal and state tax purposes, including those NOLs acquired as part of past business combinations, of $3,068,446 and $506,960, respectively, expiring at various times through 2037. In addition, we had Non-US NOLs of $1,861,468 primarily related to China, which has no expiration date.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Management of the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the 1934 Act) pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period covered by this report. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Based on this evaluation, management concluded that the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective due to the material weaknesses described below.

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as required by Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Section 404 A. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

 

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in SEC guidance on conducting such assessments as of the end of the period covered by this report. Management conducted the assessment based on certain criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013). Based on this assessment, management concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of February 29, 2020.

 

The matters involving internal controls and procedures that the Company’s management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: (1) lack of a functioning audit committee, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; (2) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; (3) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements; and (4) ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes. The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified by the Company’s Chief Financial Officer in connection with the audit of our financial statements as of February 29, 2020 and communicated the matters to our management.

 

Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth in items (2), (3) and (4) above did not have an effect on the Company’s financial results. However, management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures can result in the Company’s determination to its financial statements for the future years.

To the extent reasonably possible given our limited resources, we are committed to improving our financial organization. As part of this commitment, we will create a position to segregate duties consistent with control objectives and will increase our personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function when funds are available to the Company: i) Appointing one or more outside directors to our board of directors who shall be appointed to the audit committee of the Company resulting in a fully functioning audit committee who will undertake the oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; and ii) Preparing and implementing sufficient written policies and checklists which will set forth procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements.

Management believes that the appointment of one or more outside directors, who shall be appointed to a fully functioning audit committee, will remedy the lack of a functioning audit committee and a lack of a majority of outside directors on the Company’s Board. In addition, management believes that preparing and implementing sufficient written policies and checklists will remedy the following material weaknesses (i) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements; and (ii) ineffective controls over period end financial close and reporting processes. Further, management believes that the hiring of additional personnel who have the technical expertise and knowledge will result proper segregation of duties and provide more checks and balances within the department. Additional personnel will also provide the cross training needed to support the Company if personnel turn over issues within the department occur. This coupled with the appointment of additional outside directors will greatly decrease any control and procedure issues the company may encounter in the future.

 

We will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and are committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow.

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes that have affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended February 29, 2020.

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

 

Summary Compensation Table

 

The entire Board performs the functions that would be performed by a compensation committee. All of the directors participate in deliberations concerning the compensation paid to executive officers. The directors determine the compensation of the Company’s executives by assessing the value of each of its executives and collectively determine the amount of compensation required to retain the services of the company’s executives. We base the amount of compensation for our executives on negotiations between us and the executive. We did not perform any formal third party benchmarking or other market analysis with respect to the amount of such executive’s compensation

 

In approving compensation necessary to attract and retain our executive officers, the board of directors concluded that the salaries provided to our executive officers are reasonably competitive considering the nascent stage of development of our business. The objective of the compensation plan is to provide our executives with competitive remuneration for their skills such that we can retain our personnel for an extended period of time. We will review our compensation programs from time to time and take Company performance as well as general market conditions into account when implementing our compensation programs.

 

From April 1, 2019, Mr. Tijin Song, Mr. Guoping Chen and Mr. Tung Ho Yu accrued compensation as stated below in the Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table. We further expect that the specific direction, emphasis and components of our executive compensation programs will evolve. Factors that may affect our compensation policies include the hiring of full-time employees, our future revenue growth and profitability, the implementation of our business plan and strategy and increasing complexity of our business.

Board Committees

 

We have not formed any Audit Committee, Compensation Committee or Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee or any other board committees as of the filing of this Annual Report. We currently do not have an audit committee financial expert on our Board of Directors because we believe that the cost of hiring an audit committee financial expert to act as one of our directors and to be a member of an Audit Committee outweighs the benefits of having an audit committee financial expert at this time.

 

ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

 

The following table sets forth certain information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our voting securities by (i) each director and named executive officer, (ii) all executive officers and directors as a group; and (iii) each shareholder known to be the beneficial owner of 5% or more of the outstanding common stock of the Company as of July 13, 2020.

 

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC. Generally, a person is considered to beneficially own securities: (i) over which such person, directly or indirectly, exercises sole or shared voting or investment power, and (ii) of which such person has the right to acquire beneficial ownership at any time within 60 days (such as through exercise of stock options or warrants). For purposes of computing the percentage of outstanding shares held by each person or group of persons, any shares that such person or persons has the right to acquire within 60 days of July 13, 2020 are deemed to be outstanding, but are not deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. The inclusion herein of any shares listed as beneficially owned does not constitute an admission of beneficial ownership.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of

China VTV Limited

 

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of China VTV Limited, and its subsidiaries (the “Company”), which comprise the consolidated statement of balance sheets as at February 29, 2020, and the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit) and consolidated statements of cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”).

  

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at February 29, 2020, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

Other Matter

 

The consolidated financial statements for the year ended February 28, 2019, which are presented for comparative purposes, were audited by another auditor who expressed an unmodified opinion on those consolidated financial statements on April 16, 2019.

CHINA VTV LIMITED.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

  

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS BACKGROUND

 

China VTV Limited (formerly known as “T-Bamm”, the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on February 19, 2015 and established a fiscal year end of February 28. The Company is a holding company and has not carried out substantive business operations of its own.

 

China VTV Ltd. (“China VTV”) was incorporated on January 9, 2015 under the laws of Hong Kong. China VTV is developing an Over-The-Top (the “OTT”) platform that distributes streaming media as a standalone product directly to viewers over the internet, bypassing telecommunications, multichannel televisions, and broadcast television platforms that traditionally act as a controller or distributor of such content.

 

On March 15, 2019, the Company, China VTV and its shareholders entered into a share purchase/exchange agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company issued an aggregate of 110,550,000 shares of its common stock to all of the shareholders of China VTV in prorated amounts in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of China VTV on May 6, 2019 (the “Closing Date”).

 

Effective on the Closing Date, pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company issued an aggregate of 115,550,000 shares of common stock of the Company to the shareholders of China VTV in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of China VTV and five individuals who provided prior services to China VTV. As a result, China VTV has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The acquisition of China VTV has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition (the “Reverse Merger”), and the business of China VTV became the business of the Company. At the time of the Reverse Merger, the Company was not engaged in any active business.

 

On December 18, 2019, the Company, VTV Global Culture Media (Beijing) Co., Ltd., a Chinese wholly foreign owned entity and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “WFOE”), Butterfly Effect Culture Media (Beijing) Co., Ltd. (the “Target”), a corporation formed under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”), and each and all of the equity holders of the Target (each, a “Target Equityholders”, and collectively, “Target Shareholders”) entered into a business acquisition agreement (the “Acquisition Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company through its WFOE agreed to acquire the Target through a series of management agreements (the “VIE Agreements”) to effectively control the Target (the “Acquisition”). In accordance with the Acquisition Agreement, and in consideration for the effective control over the Target, the Company agreed to issue an aggregate of 24,000,000 shares of its common stock (the “Common Stock”) (the “Stock Consideration”) to the Target Equityholders pro rata in accordance with the Target equity holder equity percentage. In addition, subject to the terms and conditions in the Acquisition Agreement, the Company and its subsidiaries agreed to pay a total of RMB 288,000,000 (the “Cash Consideration”) to the Target Equityholders pro rata with the Target equity holder’s equity percentage over a period as set forth therein and in the first amended acquisition agreement (“Amendment No. 1”) dated December 28, 2019.

 

On February 24, 2020 (the “Closing Date”), the Company and the Target closed the transactions contemplated under the Acquisition Agreement, as amended (the “Closing”), pursuant to which the Company effectively controls Butterfly Effect Culture Media (Beijing) Co., Ltd. via the VIE Agreements, which have been executed by the WFOE, Butterfly Effect Culture Media (Beijing) Co., Ltd. and each Target Equityholder on the Closing Date. On February 25, 2020, in accordance with the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, the Company issued a total of 24,000,000 restricted shares of its common stock to the Target Equityholders. The Acquisition is accounted for as a regular acquisition pursuant to which the Company is considered the acquiring entity for accounting purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. (See NOTE 2 and NOTE 3)

Table of Contents

 

Butterfly Effect Culture Media (Beijing) Co., Ltd. is primarily engaged in literary adaptation business and centers its business on internet Chinese literary and literary adaptation for TV shows, movies, audible books and mobile phone video games that are primarily distributed through online platforms.

 

Following the acquisition, the Company operates as a single entity in one integrated business unit which are 1) the e-media online streaming platform operated by the Company’s Hong Kong subsidiary and 2) the literary adaptation business whereby the Target adapts original stories or books into TV shows, movies and mobile video games to be distributed in and outside the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) through the internet.

 

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) surfaced. The spread of COVID-19 caused interruption of operation in the Company’s China facilities from February to early March 2020. The breakout of COVID-19 around the world in the first and second quarters of 2020 has caused significant volatility in China, U.S., and the rest of the world markets. There is significant uncertainty around the breadth and duration of business disruptions related to COVID-19, as well as its impact on the global economies and, as such, the Company is unable to determine if it will have a material impact on financial result of fiscal 2021.

 

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Consolidation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements, including the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, China VTV, the WFOE, and its controlled variable interest entity (“VIE”) Butterfly Effect Culture Media (Beijing) Co., Ltd. and it’s four subsidiaries (collectively “Butterfly Effect Media”) for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All transactions and balances among the Company, its subsidiaries and Butterfly Effect Media have been eliminated upon consolidation. The results of subsidiaries and Butterfly Effect Media acquired during the year are recorded in the consolidated income statements from the effective date of acquisition.

 

A VIE is required to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the VIE if the nominee equity holders in the VIE do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties.

Table of Contents

 

PRC laws and regulations restrict foreign ownership and investment in the e-media, culture, and entertainment industry. As the Company is deemed a foreign legal person under PRC laws, accordingly the Company and its subsidiaries are not eligible to engage in the provision of literary adaptation business.

 

To comply with these restrictions on foreign ownership, the Company will operate substantially all of its literary adaptation business through its Butterfly Effect Media. Butterfly Effect Media holds licenses and other approvals necessary to operate literary adaptation business and generate revenues. To provide the Company's effective control over and the ability to receive substantially all of the economic benefits of Butterfly Effect Media, the Acquisition Agreement and the VIE Agreements were entered into amongst the Company, China VTV, the WOFE, Butterfly Effect Media and the shareholders of Butterfly Effect Media on December 18, 2019.

 

(i)

Agreements that give the Company power to effectively control the activities of Butterfly Effect Media that fully impact the its economic performance:

 

Business Acquisition Agreement

 

On December 18, 2019 and amended on December 28, 2019, the Company, the WFOE, Butterfly Effect Media and the equity holders of Butterfly Effect Media entered into the Acquisition Agreement to acquire effective control of Butterfly Effect Media through the VIE Agreements (the “Acquisition”) for Stock Consideration of 24,000,000 Common Stock and Cash Consideration of RMB 288,000,000 (see Note 1). For payment of the Cash Consideration, the Company will dedicate 40% of the net proceeds received in any future public or private equity offerings for gross proceeds of at least $20,000,000 (before deducting any underwriter or placement agent’s discount and commissions and any offering expenses) to pay to Butterfly Effect Media’s equity holders, until the total amount of the Cash Consideration is paid in full without the obligation to pay any interest thereon.

 

Due to the fact that the Company obtained control of Butterfly Effect Media as a result of the Acquisition, the Acquisition is accounted for as a regular acquisition pursuant to which the Company is considered the acquiring entity for accounting purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. (See NOTE 3 BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS)

 

Equity Disposal Agreements

 

The nominee equity holders of Butterfly Effect Media have granted the WFOE exclusive call options to purchase their equity interest in Butterfly Effect Media at an exercise price equal to the lowest price allowed by the laws of China. If appraisal is required by the laws of China at the time when the WFOE exercises the equity interest purchase option, the parties shall negotiate in good faith and based on the appraisal result make necessary adjustment to the equity interest purchase price so that it complies with any and all then applicable laws of China.

 

The WFOE may nominate another entity or individual to purchase the equity interest, if applicable, under the call options. Each call option is exercisable subject to the condition that applicable PRC laws, rules and regulations do not prohibit completion of the transfer of the equity interest pursuant to the call option. The WFOE is entitled to all dividends and other distributions declared by Butterfly Effect Media, and the nominee equity holders have agreed to give up their rights to receive any distributions or proceeds from the disposal of their equity interests in Butterfly Effect Media which are in excess of the original registered capital that they contributed to Butterfly Effect Media, and to pay any such distributions or premium to the WFOE.

1)

The power to direct the activities that most significantly affected the economic performance of Butterfly Effect Media, and

 

 

 

 

2)

Receives the economic benefits of Butterfly Effect Media.

 

In making the conclusion that the WFOE, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, is the primary beneficiary of Butterfly Effect Media, the Company believes the Company's rights under the terms of the equity disposal agreement has provided it with a substantive kick-out rights. More specifically, the Company believes the terms of the share disposal agreement are valid, binding and enforceable under PRC laws and regulations currently in effect. The Company also believes that the minimum amount of consideration permitted by the applicable PRC law to exercise the option has not represented a financial barrier or disincentive for the Company to currently exercise its rights under the equity disposal agreement. Consequently, the Company's rights under the business cooperation agreement and other agreements have reinforced the Company's abilities to direct activities most significantly impacting Butterfly Effect Media’s economic performance. The Company also believes that this ability to exercise control ensured that Butterfly Effect Media would execute service agreements and pay service fees to the Company. By charging service fees, and by ensuring that service agreements are executed, the Company has the rights to receive substantially all of the economic benefits from Butterfly Effect Media.

In conclusion, the Company determines that Butterfly Effect Media as described above is a VIE because the nominee equity holders do not have significant equity at risk nor do they have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest and the Company is the primary beneficiary of Butterfly Effect Media. Accordingly, the Company has consolidated the accounts of Butterfly Effect Media from the date of acquisition on February 24, 2020.

 

Risks in relation to VIE structure

 

The Company believes that the contractual arrangements with Butterfly Effect Media and its equity holders are in compliance with existing PRC laws and regulations and are legally enforceable. However, the contractual arrangements are subject to risks and uncertainties, including:

 

 

·

Butterfly Effect Media and its equity holders may have or develop interests that conflict with the Company's interests, which may lead them to pursue opportunities in violation of the aforementioned contractual agreements. If the Company cannot resolve any conflicts of interest or disputes between the Company and the equity holders of Butterfly Effect Media, the Company would have to rely on legal proceedings, which could result in disruption of its business, and there is substantial uncertainty as to the outcome of any such legal proceedings.

 

 

 

 

·

Butterfly Effect Media and its equity holders could fail to obtain the proper operating licenses or fail to comply with other regulatory requirements. As a result, the PRC government could impose fines, new requirements or other penalties, mandate a change in ownership structure or operations, restrict the use of financing sources or ability to conduct business on Butterfly Effect Media or the Company.

 

 

 

 

·

The PRC government may declare the aforementioned contractual arrangements invalid. They may modify the relevant regulations, have a different interpretation of such regulations, or otherwise determine that the Company or Butterfly Effect Media have failed to comply with the legal obligations required to effectuate such contractual arrangements.

 

 

 

 

·

If the legal structure and contractual arrangements were found to be in violation of PRC laws and regulations, the PRC government may restrict or prohibit the Company's business and operations in China.

 

 

 

 

·

The Company's ability to conduct its business may be negatively affected if the PRC government were to carry out of any of the aforementioned actions. As a result, the Company may not be able to consolidate Butterfly Effect Media in the consolidated financial statements as the Company may lose the ability to exert effective control over Butterfly Effect Media, and the Company may lose the ability to receive economic benefits from Butterfly Effect Media.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all cash on hand and in banks, certificates of deposit and other highly-liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash and cash equivalents. As of February 28, 2019 and 2018, the Company had $51,551 and $17,548 in cash and cash equivalents, respectively.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable are stated at net realizable value. The Company usually grants credit to customers with a maximum of 60 days. An allowance for doubtful accounts is established based on the management’s assessment of the recoverability of accounts and other receivables. The Company writes off accounts receivable against the allowance when a balance is determined to be uncollectible. As at February 29, 2020, there were no accounts receivable allowance required.

 

Advances to Suppliers

 

The Company advances funds to certain authors or publishers for the purchase of literature copyrights and productions. Based on management’s evaluation, no allowance for advances to suppliers is required at the balance sheet date.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Costs include the purchase cost of literature copyright, direct production cost of audiobooks and related production overhead. The cost of inventories is calculated using the weighted average method. Any excess of the cost over the net realizable value of each item of inventories is recognized as a provision for diminution in the value of inventories.

 

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the normal course of business less any costs to complete and sell products.

 

Share Subscription Receivables

 

The Company issued common stock to five individual investors for cash under stock subscription agreements and the cash has not been received. For accounting purposes, the outstanding receivables with respect to the share subscription are recorded as subscription receivables in equity.

 

Capital Assets

 

Capital assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any provision required for impairment in value. Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Expenditures that improve the functionality of the related asset or extend the useful life are capitalized. When property and equipment is retired or otherwise disposed of, the related gain or loss is included in operating income. Leasehold improvements are depreciated on the straight-line method over the shorter of the remaining lease term or estimated useful life of the asset. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method with no residual value based on the estimated useful lives of the various classes of assets, which range as follows:

 

Furniture and office equipment

3-5 years

Software

3 years

Leasehold improvements

shorter of remaining lease period or estimated useful life

Intangible Assets

 

Intangible assets acquired through business acquisitions are recognized as assets separated from goodwill if they satisfy either the “contractual-legal” or “separability” criterion. Purchased intangible assets and intangible assets arising from the acquisitions of subsidiaries and VIE subsidiaries are recognized and measured at fair value upon acquisition. Separately identifiable intangible assets that have determinable lives continue to be amortized over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method as follows:

 

Copyrights

2 - 5 years

Licenses

10-20 years

 

Separately identifiable intangible assets to be held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Determination of recoverability is based on an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. Measurement of any impairment loss for identifiable intangible assets is based on the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the asset.

 

Impairment of Goodwill

 

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase consideration over the fair value of the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed of the acquired entity as a result of the Company’s acquisitions of interests in VIE and its subsidiaries. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired. The Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. In the qualitative assessment, the Company considers primary factors such as industry and market considerations, overall financial performance of the reporting unit, and other specific information related to the operations. Based on the qualitative assessment, if it is more likely than not that the fair value of each reporting unit is less than the carrying amount, the quantitative impairment test is performed. Application of a goodwill impairment test requires significant management judgment.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 360-10, Property, Plant and Equipment (“ASC 360-10”). ASC 360-10 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by the Company be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment annually or more often if events and circumstances warrant. Events relating to recoverability may include significant unfavorable changes in business conditions, recurring losses, or a forecasted inability to achieve break-even operating results over an extended period. Should impairment in value be indicated, the carrying value of intangible assets will be adjusted, based on estimates of future discounted cash flows resulting from the use and ultimate disposition of the asset. ASC 360-10 also requires assets to be disposed to be reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell.

Reclassification

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial statements to conform to the current year presentation. The reclassification had no impact on previously reported net loss nor accumulated deficit.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”), which amends the accounting standards for revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 is based on principles that govern the recognition of revenue at an amount an entity expects to be entitled when products are transferred to a customer. Topic 606 requires the Company to recognize revenues when control of the promised goods or services and receipt of payment is probable. The Company recognizes revenue based on the five criteria for revenue recognition established under Topic 606: 1) identify the contract, 2) identify separate performance obligations, 3) determine the transaction price, 4) allocate the transaction price among the performance obligations, and 5) recognize revenue as the performance obligations are satisfied.

 

The Company adopted Topic 606 effective March 1, 2019 and began to generate revenue during the nine months ended November 30, 2019. The Company sells advertising services to third-party advertising agencies and advertisers. Advertising contracts are signed to establish the price and advertising services to be provided. Pursuant to the advertising contracts, the Company provides advertisement placements on its OTT platform in different formats, including but not limited to video, banners, links, logos, brand placement and buttons. The Company performs a credit assessment of the customers to assess the collectability of the contract price prior to entering into contracts. For contracts where the Company provides customers with multiple performance obligations, primarily for advertisements to be displayed in different spots, placed under different forms and occurred at different times, the Company would evaluate all the performance obligations in the arrangement to determine whether each performance obligation is distinct. Consideration is allocated to each performance obligation based on its standalone selling price and revenue is recognized as each performance obligation is satisfied by displaying the advertisements in accordance with the advertising contracts.

 

The Company’s VIE and its subsidiaries sell copyrights of scripts and original stories to third parties, and sell the video and audio products to internet content platforms for broad distribution, upon the finishing of the production of TV shows, movies, audible books or video games. Revenue from the sales of copyrights, original stories, and finished products are recognized when the Company delivers products and passes its contractual rights or copyrights to the customers in accordance with the sales contracts. Prepayments for sales of product is recorded as deferred revenue and is generally recognized as revenue when the production is completed, and the product is transferred, or copyrights have been passed to customers and collectability is reasonably assured.

 

The Company also grants licenses to third parties for using its literary copyrights. Revenue derived from licenses of the Company’s literal copyrights and original stories providing customers with a right to use the intellectual properties as they exist when made available to customers are recognized at the point in time when the intellectual property is made available to customers. Prepayments for sales of product is recorded as deferred revenue from customers and is generally recognized as revenue when the production is completed, and the product is transferred, or copyrights have been passed to customers and collectability is reasonably assured.

 

 
F-15

Table of Contents

 

For revenue from licensing of literal copyrights where the Company continue to develop the product or provide maintenance services, the Company recognizes the fixed fee proportionately over the licensing term. For royalty derived from licensing of literature copyrights, royalty as revenue is recognized as sales or usage occurs based upon the licensee’s usage reports and, when these reports are not available, revenue is based on historical data, industry information and other relevant trends.

 

Deferred Revenue

 

Deferred revenue, mainly relating to licensing fees, is stated at the amount of licensing fees received less the amount previously recognized as revenue over the terms of the respective literary licensing contracts.

 

Research and Development Expenses

 

Research and development costs are generally expensed as incurred. Research and development expenses mainly consist of the costs incurred in the development and improvement of the Company’s OTT Platform. Research and development expenses were $231,791 and $863,528 for the years ended February 29, 2020 and February 28, 2019, respectively.

 

Stock-Based Payments

 

The Company follows the provisions of ASC Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees, non-employee directors, and consultants, including employee stock options. Stock compensation expense based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718 is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period and the Company made a policy election to recognize forfeitures when they occur.

 

The fair value of each option grant is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which requires assumptions regarding the expected volatility of the stock price, the expected life of the options, an expectation regarding future dividends on the Company’s common stock, and estimation of an appropriate risk-free interest rate. The Company’s expected common stock price volatility assumption is based upon the historical volatility of similar companies due to limited history of our stock price. The expected life assumption for stock options grants was based upon the simplified method provided for under ASC 718-10, which averages the contractual term of the options with the vesting term. The dividend yield assumption of zero is based upon the fact that the Company has never paid cash dividends and presently has no intention of paying cash dividends in the future. The risk-free interest rate used for each grant was based upon prevailing short-term interest rates over the expected life of the options.

 

Business Combinations and Noncontrolling Interests

 

The Company accounts for its business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805 “Business Combinations” (“ASC 805”). The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the acquisition date fair values of the assets transferred and liabilities incurred by the Company to the sellers and equity instruments issued. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets and liabilities acquired or assumed are measured separately at their fair values as of the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any noncontrolling interests. The excess of (i) the total costs of acquisition, fair value of the noncontrolling interests and acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest in the acquiree over (ii) the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the acquiree is recorded as goodwill. Acquisition-related expenses and restructuring costs are expensed as incurred.

 

 
F-16

Table of Contents

 

For the Company’s VIE, a noncontrolling interest is recognized to reflect the portion of their equity which is not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Company. Consolidated net income (loss) on the consolidated income statements includes the net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests. The cumulative results of operations attributable to noncontrolling interests are recorded as noncontrolling interests in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Cash flows related to transactions with noncontrolling interests are presented under financing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

 

Translation Adjustment

 

The accounts of China VTV were maintained, and its financial statements were expressed, in Hong Kong Dollar (“HKD”) and Chinese Yuan (RMB). Such financial statements were translated into U.S. Dollars (“$” or “USD”) in accordance ASC 830, “Foreign Currency Matters”, with the HKD and RMB as the functional currencies. Pursuant to the ASC 830, all assets and liabilities are translated at the current exchange rate, stockholders’ equity (deficit) are translated at the historical rates, and income statement items are translated at an average exchange rate for the period.

 

The resulting translation adjustments are reported under accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as a component of stockholders’ equity (deficit).

 

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

 

Comprehensive income (loss) includes accumulated foreign currency translation gains and losses. The Company has reported the components of comprehensive income (loss) on its consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity (deficit) and consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

 

Leases

 

The Company’s lease portfolio consists operating real estate leases for its corporate offices. Under ASC 842, a contract is or contains a lease when (1) an explicitly or implicitly identified asset has been deployed in the contract and (2) the customer obtains substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of that underlying asset and directs how and for what purpose the asset is used during the term of the contract. The Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception of the contract. For all leases (finance and operating), other than those that qualify for the short-term recognition exemption, the Company will recognize on the balance sheet a lease liability for its obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease and a corresponding right of use (“ROU”) asset representing its right to use the underlying asset over the period of use based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term as of the lease commencement date. ROU assets are adjusted for initial direct costs, lease payments made and incentives. As the rates implicit in our leases are not readily determinable, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. This rate is based on the estimated rate of interest for collateralized borrowing over a similar term of the lease payments. The lease term used to calculate the lease liability will include options to extend or terminate the lease when the option to extend or terminate is at the Company’s discretion and it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise the option. Fixed payments are recognized as lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For leases with a term of one year or less (“short-term leases”), the lease payments are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Fair Value Measurements

 

FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements” defines fair value for certain financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. It requires that an entity measure its financial instruments to base fair value on exit price, maximize the use of observable units and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to determine the exit price. It establishes a hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. This hierarchy increases the consistency and comparability of fair value measurements and related disclosures by maximizing the use of observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels based on the reliability of the inputs as follows:

 

Level 1 – Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. Valuation of these instruments does not require a high degree of judgment as the valuations are based on quoted prices in active markets that are readily and regularly available.

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable as of the measurement date, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and not corroborated by market data. The fair value for such assets and liabilities is generally determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques that incorporate the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability.

 

The Company’s financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, advances to suppliers, other receivables, accounts payable, wages payable, short-term debt, interest payable, due to related parties, acquisition liability and other payables. The carrying values of these financial instruments approximate their fair value due to their relatively short maturities.

 

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are classified as Level assets.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period including the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)". This ASU provides an easier and more cost-efficient way for companies to modify contracts that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") and other rates that are being phased out. The ASU (1) allows eligible contracts that are modified to be accounted for as a continuation of those contracts - a simplification that eliminates the need for companies to reassess or remeasure the contracts for accounting purposes; (2) permits companies to preserve their hedge accounting during the transition period; and (3) enables companies to make a one-time election to transfer or sell held-to-maturity debt securities that are affected by rate reform. It is effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes by removing certain exceptions currently permissible under ASC Topic 740. This ASU also requires entities to: (1) recognize a franchise tax that is partially based on income as an income-based tax and account for any incremental amounts incurred as non-income based tax; (2) evaluate when a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill should be considered as part of the business combination and when it should be considered a separate transaction; (3) specify that an entity is not required to allocate the consolidated amount of current and deferred tax expense to a legal entity that is not subject to tax in its separate financial statements; and (4) reflect the effect of an enacted change in tax laws or rates in the annual effective tax rate computation and other minor improvements. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the amendments is permitted, including adoption in any interim period for public business entities for periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments which requires the use of a new current expected credit loss ("CECL") model in estimating allowances for doubtful accounts with respect to accounts receivable. Receivables from revenue transactions, or trade receivables, are recognized when the corresponding revenue is recognized under ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The CECL model requires that the Company estimate its lifetime expected credit loss with respect to these receivables and record allowances that when deducted from the balance of the receivables, represent the estimated net amounts expected to be collected. Given the generally short term nature of trade receivables, we do not apply a discounted cash flow methodology. However, the Company considers whether historical loss rates are consistent with expectations of forward-looking estimates for our trade receivables. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted of the new standard on January 1, 2020. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The major operations of the Company are located in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations may be influenced by political, economic, and legal environments in the PRC, as well as by the general state of the PRC economy. The Company’s operations in the PRC are subject to special considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environment and foreign currency exchange. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in the political, regulatory, and social conditions in the PRC. Although the Company has not experienced losses from these situations and believes that it is in compliance with existing laws and regulations including its organization and structure disclosed in Note 1, this may not be indicative of future results.

NOTE 3. BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS

 

Acquisition of China VTV Ltd.

 

On March 15, 2019, the Company entered into a share purchase/ exchange agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with China VTV, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue an aggregate of 110,550,000 shares of its common stock to all of the shareholders of China VTV in prorated amounts in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding equity interests in China VTV.

 

Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, on May 6, 2019, the Company issued 115,550,000 shares of common stock of the Company to the shareholders of China VTV in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of China VTV and five individuals who provided prior services to China VTV. As a result, China VTV became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The acquisition of China VTV is accounted for as a reverse acquisition (the “Reverse Merger”), and the business of China VTV became the business of the Company. At the time of the Reverse Merger, the Company was not engaged in any active business.

 

The Company did not recognize any goodwill from the acquisition as the transaction was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization.

Acquisition of Butterfly Effect Media

 

Pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, as amended, and the VIE Agreements (as described in the NOTES 1. and 2.), on February 24, 2020, the Company acquired and effectively is in control of Butterfly Effect Media. As consideration, the Company issued 24,000,000 shares of its common stock on February 25, 2020 as payment of the Stock Consideration to the equity holders of Butterfly Effect Media in pro rata to their equity percentage. In addition, subject to the terms and conditions in the Acquisition Agreement, the Company and its subsidiaries agreed to pay a total of RMB 288,000,000 Cash Consideration to the equity holders, pro rata to their equity percentage, over a period as set forth therein and in the first amended acquisition agreement (“Amendment No. 1”) dated December 28, 2019.

 

The Acquisition Agreement also provides that in the event that Butterfly Effect Media fails to meet the aggregate net profit milestones of RMB215,000,000 for the 3 years ending February 28, 2022, each equity holder is to return the common stock or equivalent amount of cash (the “Claw-back”) according to the calculation formula specified in the Acquisition Agreement.

 

The formula for calculation of number of shares to be returned by the equity holders is as follow:

 

Number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock to be returned by each equity holder equals to 3.8 multiplied by the difference of Accumulated Net Income Milestone - Actual Accumulated Net Income for the First, Second and Third Fiscal Years, divided by the closing Common Stock Price at one day prior to the return date, multiplied by the equity holder’s equity percentage.

 

Based on the net income of Butterfly Effect Media’s first fiscal year and the projected net incomes for the second and third fiscal year, the Company estimated that all of the 24,000,000 shares of common stock will be returned at the end of the third fiscal year. The fair value of the 24,000,000 shares of common stock issued to the equity holders on February 24, 2020 and February 29, 2020 is determined to be $608,914. Based on management expectation that the shares will be fully returned by the equity holders, a contingent receivable of $608,914 is recorded.

 

Subject to the Claw-back provision, the Acquisition Agreement prescribes that if the Company does not make payments of at least half of the Cash Consideration to the equity holders within 1 year commencing on the first trading day (excluding the first trading day) of the Company’s common stock on a national stock exchange, Butterfly Effect Media will:

 

 

i)

have the right to appoint the majority of the Company’s Board, manage and operate the Company and its subsidiaries operations and;

NOTE 13. ACQUISITION LIABILITY

 

In accordance with the initial acquisition agreement dated on December 18, 2019 and the first amended acquisition agreement (“Amendment No. 1”) dated December 28, 2019, which were entered by the Company, the WOFE, and Butterfly Effect Media and each of Butterfly Effect Media’s equity holders (“Equity Holders”), the Company and its subsidiaries agreed to pay a total of RMB 288,000,000 (the “Cash Consideration”) to the Equity Holders pro rata with the their equity percentage over a period as set forth in the Amendment NO. 1. Per the Amendment No. 1, the Company shall pay the Equity Holders at least RMB 45 million (approximately $6.39 million) pro rata from the proceeds of its first public or private offering of its shares after the Acquisition, make payments to the Equity Holders pro rata of an additional RMB 99 million (approximately $14.07 million) by December 31, 2020, and a further payment of RMB 144 million (approximately $20.46 million) on or before December 31, 2021. In accordance with Amendment No. 1, after the Company makes the cash payments of at least RMB 144 million (approximately $20.46 million), which is half of the total Cash Consideration, to the Equity Holders, the Company may choose to pay the half of the remaining Cash Consideration, equivalent to RMB 72 million (approximately $10.23 million), in the form of its common stock at a price of $2.00 per share to the Equity Holders as opposed to making such cash payment in the amount of RMB 72 million.

 

The total Cash Consideration is RMB 288 million. The above arrangements allow the Company to settle RMB72 million by the Company’s common stock, if certain specified conditions are met.

 

The Company recognized the RMB288 million as acquisition liability as of the acquisition date. As it is the Company decision to settle the remaining RMB 72 million either by cash or by shares of its common stock, the settlement by shares is not an obligation for the Company when this is not beneficial to the Company. Therefore the settlement by shares of the Company is not considered as a contingent liability at the acquisition date.

 

The total fair value of the considerations was determined to be $36,931,000 which has been fully recognized as a liability as a result of the business acquisition.

NOTE 14. OTHER CONTINGENT LIABILITY

 

On September 30, 2019, the Company entered into a strategic development agreement (the “Strategic Development Agreement”) with CybEye Image, Inc. (“CybEye”). CybEye agreed to develop and provide technical support and maintenance to the Company’s online streaming OTT Platform and incorporate blockchain technologies to enhance security of the Company’s OTT Platform. The Strategic Development Agreement will continue in full force and effect until September 29, 2022.

 

Concurring to this agreement, the Company also entered into a non-exclusive licensing agreement , and ameded on December 13, 2019, with CybEye pursuant to which CybEye agreed to grant the Company a non-exclusive right and license to certain technology for 20 years, expiring September 30, 2029.

 

Pursuant to the Strategic Development Agreement, the Company agreed to issue 2,500,000 shares of its common stock to CybEye for the technical services to develop the OTT Platform. CybEye may sell and dispose any or all of the 2,500,000 shares at any time at a per share price of not less than $5.00. In the event that the Company issues and sells its common stock in a public offering facilitated by a broker-dealer or investment bank at a price less than $4.00 per share (the “Better Price”) within the next twelve (12) months from the agreement date, the Company agreed to grant CybEye options to purchase a number of shares of the Company’s common stock which is calculated by multiplying the difference of $4.00 and the Better Price by 2,500,000, then divide the product by the Better Price, at an exercise price equals to the Better Price.

 

As compensation for the license and services provided to maintain the OTT Platform, the Company agreed to issue 40,000 shares of its common stock monthly to CybEye until the Company’s shares are trading on a national stock exchange market, and thereafter a monthly payment of $150,000 until September 2022. In addition, during the term of the Strategic Development Agreement, the Company agreed to grant stock options of up to 500,000 shares of the common stock each year to the owner of CybEye and stock options of up to 200,000 shares of the common stock each year to 2 technicians of CybEye for their services to the Company. The granting of the options is subject to the approval of the Board of Directors.

 

As at February 29, 2020, only the 500,000 stock options to the owner of CybEye were approved and granted. The Company has not issued the 2,500,000 shares and 200,000 shares agreed to be issued to CybEye, and has not approved the granting of the 200,000 stock options to the 2 technicians as described above.

 

During the year ended February 29, 2020, CybEye completed the development of the OTT Platform. As February 29, 2020, the Company estimated the fair value of the 2,700,000 shares issuable at a fair value of $172,260 and recognized the amount as development expenses on the consolidated statement of operations, and a corresponding amount as shares issuable on the consolidated balance sheets.

 

The Company estimated the fair value of the 500,000 stock option at $9,531, based on the Black Scholes Model using the following assumptions: share price - $0.068, exercise price - $12.00, expected life of the option – 7 years, volatility – 150%, dividend yield - $Nil, interest rate – 1.61%. The Company recognized $9,531 as development expenses and a corresponding amount in the additional paid-in capital.

NOTE 16. INCOME TAXES

 

United States

 

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and local jurisdictions. The Company is not currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service or any state income tax authorities. The 2015 through 2017 tax years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. On December 22, 2017, H.R. 1, originally known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, (the “Tax Act”) was enacted. Among the significant changes to the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, the Tax Act lowers the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate (“Federal Tax Rate”) from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018. The Company has chosen to provide a full valuation allowance against all available income tax loss carry forwards. The Company has recognized a valuation allowance for the deferred income tax asset since the Company cannot be assured that it is more likely than not that such benefit will be utilized in future years.

 

Hong Kong

 

China VTV was incorporated in Hong Kong and is subject to Hong Kong profits tax at 16.5%. No provision for Hong Kong income or profit tax has been made as the China VTV has no assessable profit for the period from January 9, 2015 (date of inception) to February 29, 2020. China VTV has provided a full valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets for the net operating loss carry-forward because of the uncertainty regarding its realizability.
