18. RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES


Impact of COVID 19


In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China, the pandemic quickly spread to many provinces, autonomous regions, and cities all over the China and other parts of the world. Substantially all of our revenues are generated in China. The Company’s results of operations have been materially negatively affected by the outbreak of COVID-19 in China, especially during the first half of 2020. In early 2020, Chinese government took emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus, including quarantines, travel restrictions, and the temporary closure of office buildings and facilities in China, which has materially adversely affected the Company’s business and services and results of operations. Our suppliers have negatively been affected, and could continue to be negatively affected in their ability to supply and ship products to our customers by any further outbreak or resurgence of COVID-19 in China. Our customers that are negatively impacted by the outbreak of COVID-19 may reduce their budgets to purchase products and services from us, which may materially adversely impact our revenue. The business operations of the third parties’ stores on our platform have been and could continue to be negatively impacted by any further outbreak or resurgence of COVID-19, which may negatively impact their operations and business, which may in turn adversely affect the business of our platform as a whole as well as our financial condition and operating results. Some of our customers, contractors, suppliers and other business partners are small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which may not have strong cash flows or be well capitalized, and may be vulnerable to an epidemic outbreak and slowing macroeconomic conditions. Further, as we do not have access to a revolving credit facility, there can be no assurance that we would be able to secure commercial debt financing in the future in the event that we require additional capital. 


The Company’s promotion strategy of the CCM Shopping Mall previously mainly relied on the training of members and distributors through meetings and conferences before the outbreak. Although China has already begun to recover from the outbreak of COVID-19, the Chinese government still put a restriction on large gatherings. These restrictions made the promotion strategy for CCM Shopping Mall difficult to implement.


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


PRC Regulations


We conduct substantially all of our operations and generate most of our revenue in the PRC. Accordingly, economic, political and legal developments in the PRC will significantly affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. The PRC economy is in transition from a planned economy to a market oriented economy subject to plans adopted by the government that set national economic development goals. Policies of the PRC government can have significant effects on economic conditions in the PRC.


Currency risks


A majority of the Company’s operating transactions are denominated in RMB and a significant portion of the Company’s assets and liabilities is denominated in RMB. RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currencies. The value of the RMB is subject to changes in the central government policies and to international economic and political developments. In the PRC, certain foreign exchange transactions are required by laws to be transacted only by authorized financial institutions at exchange rates set by the People’s Bank of China (“PBOC”). Remittances in currencies other than RMB by the Company in China must be processed through PBOC or other China foreign exchange regulatory bodies which require certain supporting documentation in order to complete the remittance.
