15. RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES  


Impact of COVID 19


In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China, which has and is continuing to spread throughout China and other parts of the world. Substantially all of our revenues are generated in China. The Company’s results of operations were affected by the outbreak of COVID-19 in China. 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 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. 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 the outbreak, 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. 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 by the COVID-19. 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, efficacy and distribution of COVID-19 vaccines  and the actions taken by government authorities and other entities to contain the COVID-19 or treat its impact, almost all of which are beyond our control. 


PRC Regulations


There are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of PRC laws and regulations including, but not limited to, the laws and regulations governing our business and the enforcement and performance of our arrangements with customers in certain circumstances. We are considered foreign persons or foreign funded enterprises under PRC laws and, as a result, we are required to comply with PRC laws and regulations related to foreign persons and foreign funded enterprises. These laws and regulations are sometimes vague and may be subject to future changes, and their official interpretation and enforcement may involve substantial uncertainty. The effectiveness of newly enacted laws, regulations or amendments may be delayed, resulting in detrimental reliance. New laws and regulations that affect existing and proposed future businesses may also be applied retroactively. We cannot predict what effect the interpretation of existing or new PRC laws or regulations may have on our business.
