Summary of Target’s Business

 

The Target was established on August 17, 2016 as a limited liability company organized under the laws of the PRC. The Target is engaged in the supply chain service business and covers a full range of commodities, including non-ferrous metals, ferrous metals, coal, metallurgical raw materials, soybean oils, oils, rubber, wood and various other types of commodities. It also has a supply chain infrastructure, which includes processing, logistics, warehousing and terminals. Utilizing its customer base, industry experience, and expertise in the commodity trading industry, the Target serves as an one-stop commodity supply chain service and digital intelligence supply chain platform integrating upstream and downstream enterprises, warehouses, logistics, information, and futures trading.

 

The Target has generated approximately RMB148 million (approximately US$22 million) of revenue and RMB 41 million (approximately US$6 million) of net income for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2019. The Target has also generated approximately RMB231.8 million (approximately US$34.9 million) of revenue and RMB58.5 million (approximately US$8.8 million) of net income for the six months ended June 30, 2020, although these numbers have not been audited by an accounting firm registered by PCAOB.

 

Management’s Plan for the Target’s Business

 

The acquisition of the Target has laid a solid foundation for the Company to expand its operations in the commodity supply chain field. The Company plans to strengthen and upgrade its supply chain services platform by introducing a systematic quantitative risk control system, which will be based on the Target’s massive historical market data and complex data analysis models. The platform is expected to establish a quantitative risk management system utilizing ETL data integration (Extract, Transform, Load) as its core, and then optimize trading portfolios by incorporating a combination of various factors and strategies in order to effectively control risks and sustain business development.
