Form 10-K for fiscal year ended June 30, 2021

 

Part I

Item 1. Description of Business, page 1

 

1.We note your definitions on page i. At the onset of Part I, clearly disclose how you will refer to the holding company, subsidiaries, and VIE when providing the disclosure throughout the document so that it is clear to investors which entity the disclosure is referencing and which subsidiaries or entities are conducting the business operations. Refrain from using terms such as the "Company", “we” or “our” when describing activities or functions of a VIE and refrain from using "our VIE" when referring to the VIE. For example, disclose, if true, that your subsidiaries and/or the VIE conduct operations in China and that the VIE is consolidated for accounting purposes, but is not an entity in which you own equity. Disclose clearly the entity (including the domicile) in which investors purchase an interest.

 

Response: In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company propose to revise its disclosure throughout Part I, as in Exhibit A of this letter.

 

 

 

 

2.At the onset of Part I, please provide prominent disclosure that having your operations conducted by your subsidiaries and through contractual arrangements with a variable interest entity (VIE) based in China involves unique risks to investors. If true, disclose that these contracts have not been tested in court. Explain whether the VIE structure is used to provide investors with exposure to foreign investment in China-based companies where Chinese law prohibits direct foreign investment in the operating companies, and disclose that investors may never hold equity interests in the Chinese operating company. Your disclosure should acknowledge that Chinese regulatory authorities could disallow this structure, which would likely result in a material change in your operations and/or a material change in the value of your securities, including that it could cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or become worthless. Provide a cross-reference to your detailed discussion of risks facing the company as a result of this structure.

 

Response: In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company propose to revise its disclosure in Part I, as in Exhibit A of this letter. Please see pages 1 and 2 of Exhibit A.

 

3.We note your disclosures regarding VIE agreements and corporate structure on pages 23 and 24. At the onset of Part I, please provide a diagram of the company’s corporate structure, identifying the person or entity that owns the equity in each depicted entity. Describe all contracts and arrangements through which you claim to have economic rights and exercise control that results in consolidation of the VIE’s operations and financial results into your financial statements. Identify clearly the entity(ies) in which the company’s operations are conducted. Describe the relevant contractual agreements between the entities and how this type of corporate structure may affect investors and the value of their investment, including how and why the contractual arrangements may be less effective than direct ownership and that the company may incur substantial costs to enforce the terms of the arrangements. Disclose the uncertainties regarding the status of the rights of the United States holding company with respect to its contractual arrangements with the VIE, its founders and owners, and the challenges the company may face enforcing these contractual agreements due to legal uncertainties and jurisdictional limits.

 

Response: In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company propose to revise its disclosure in Part I, as in Exhibit A of this letter. Please see pages i, 1 to 2, and 25 of Exhibit A.

 

4.We note your disclosure that you control and receive the economic benefits of your VIE's business operations through contractual arrangements and on page i you disclose that the VIE agreements give you control of the entity and effective ownership of its assets. However, neither the investors in the holding company nor the holding company itself have an equity ownership in, direct foreign investment in, or control of, through such ownership or investment, the VIE. Accordingly, please refrain from implying that the contractual agreements are equivalent to equity ownership in the business of the VIE. Any references to control or benefits that accrue to you because of the VIE should be limited to a clear description of the conditions you have satisfied for consolidation of the VIE under U.S. GAAP. Additionally, your disclosure should clarify that you are the primary beneficiary of the VIE for accounting purposes.

 

Response: In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company propose to revise its disclosure in Part I, as in Exhibit A of this letter. Please see pages i, 1 to 2 and 24 of Exhibit A.

5.We note that the consolidated VIE constitutes a material part of your consolidated financial statements. At the onset of Part I, please provide in tabular form a condensed consolidating schedule that disaggregates the operations and depicts the financial position, cash flows, and results of operations as of the same dates and for the same periods for which audited consolidated financial statements are required. The schedule should present major line items, such as revenue and cost of goods/services, and subtotals and disaggregated intercompany amounts, such as separate line items for intercompany receivables and investment in subsidiary. The schedule should also disaggregate the parent company, the VIE and its consolidated subsidiaries, the WFOEs that are the primary beneficiary of the VIE, and an aggregation of other entities that are consolidated. The objective of this disclosure is to allow an investor to evaluate the nature of assets held by, and the operations of, entities apart from the VIE, as well as the nature and amounts associated with intercompany transactions. Any intercompany amounts should be presented on a gross basis and when necessary, additional disclosure about such amounts should be included in order to make the information presented not misleading.

 

Response: A condensed consolidating schedule that disaggregates the operations and depicts the financial position, cash flows, and results of operations as of the same dates and for the same periods for which audited consolidated financial statements in tabular form was contained in pages F-12 to F-14 of the 2021 Annual Report. In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company propose to include a cross reference of the required tabular table in the onset of Part I. Please see page 24 of Exhibit A.

 

6.At the onset of Part I, please provide a clear description of how cash is transferred through your organization. Disclose your intentions to distribute earnings or settle amounts owed under the VIE agreements. Quantify any cash flows and transfers of other assets by type that have occurred between the holding company, its subsidiaries, and the consolidated VIE, and the direction of transfer. Quantify any dividends or distributions that a subsidiary or consolidated VIE have made to the holding company and which entity made such transfer, and their tax consequences. Similarly quantify dividends or distributions made to U.S. investors, the source, and their tax consequences. Your disclosure should make clear if no transfers, dividends, or distributions have been made to date. Describe any restrictions on foreign exchange and your ability to transfer cash between entities, across borders, and to U.S. investors. Describe any restrictions and limitations on your ability to distribute earnings from the company, including your subsidiaries and/or the consolidated VIE, to the parent company and U.S. investors as well as the ability to settle amounts owed under the VIE agreements. Provide cross-references to the condensed consolidating schedule and the consolidated financial statements.

 

Response: In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company propose to revise its disclosure in Part I, by inserting a table showing such the cash transfer through our organization. Please see page 3 of Exhibit A.

 

7.We note your risk factor summary on page 43. At the onset of Part I, please revise to include a summary of risk factors and disclose the risks that your corporate structure and being based in or having the majority of the company’s operations in China poses to investors. In particular, describe the significant regulatory, liquidity, and enforcement risks with cross-references to the more detailed discussion of these risks. For example, specifically discuss risks arising from the legal system in China, including risks and uncertainties regarding the enforcement of laws and that rules and regulations in China can change quickly with little advance notice; and the risk that the Chinese government may intervene or influence your operations at any time, or may exert more control over offerings conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in China-based issuers, which could result in a material change in your operations and/or the value of your securities. Acknowledge any risks that any actions by the Chinese government to exert more oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in China-based issuers could significantly limit or completely hinder your ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or be worthless.

 

Response: The disclosure required under this comment 7 has already been in the paragraphs 3 and 4 under CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS right above Part I of the 2021 Annual Report.

8.At the onset of Part I, provide prominent disclosure about the legal and operational risks associated with having the substantial majority of the company’s operations in China. Your disclosure should make clear whether these risks could result in a material change in your operations and/or the value of your shares and/or could significantly limit or completely hinder your ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or be worthless. Your disclosure should address how recent statements and regulatory actions by China’s government, such as those related to the use of variable interest entities and data security or anti-monopoly concerns, have or may impact the company’s ability to conduct its business, accept foreign investments, or list on a U.S. or other foreign exchange. Also, disclose that trading in your securities may be prohibited under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (HFCAA) if the PCAOB determines that it cannot inspect or investigate completely your auditor, and that as a result an exchange may determine to delist your securities. Disclose whether your auditor is subject to the determinations announced by the PCAOB on December 16, 2021.

 

Response: The disclosure required under this comment 8 has already been in the paragraphs 3 and 4 under CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS right above Part I of the 2021 Annual Report. In response to the Staff’s comment, we have inserted the HFCAA related disclosure at the end of the section, please see page i of Exhibit A.

 

9.We note disclosure on page 41 regarding government regulation and licenses. At the onset of Part I, please disclose each permission or approval that you, your subsidiaries, or the VIE are required to obtain from Chinese authorities to operate your business and to offer the securities being registered to foreign investors. State whether you, your subsidiaries, or the VIE are covered by permissions requirements from the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC), Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) or any other governmental agency that is required to approve the VIE’s operations, and state affirmatively whether you have received all requisite permissions or approvals and whether any permissions or approvals have been denied. State clearly if you have obtained the required license under Order 32 and whether you have obtained CRSC approval for the listing and trading of your securities in the U.S. Please also describe the consequences to you and your investors if you, your subsidiaries, or the VIE: (i) do not receive or maintain such permissions or approvals, (ii) inadvertently conclude that such permissions or approvals are not required, or (iii) applicable laws, regulations, or interpretations change and you are required to obtain such permissions or approvals in the future.

 

Response: In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company propose to revise its disclosure in Part I, as in Exhibit A of this letter. Please see pages 4, 40 to 41 of Exhibit A. In terms of Order 32, while the Company currently maintained the required license under such order, it is no longer applicable to the Company’s products and therefore it becomes immaterial to the operations and business of the Company.

Item 1A. Risk Factors, page 49

 

10.We note your disclosure on page 64 about the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act. Please expand your risk factors to disclose that the United States Senate has passed the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, which, if enacted, would decrease the number of “non-inspection years” from three years to two years, and thus, would reduce the time before your securities may be prohibited from trading or delisted. Update your disclosure to reflect that the Commission adopted rules to implement the HFCAA and that, pursuant to the HFCAA, the PCAOB has issued its report notifying the Commission of its determination that it is unable to inspect or investigate completely accounting firms headquartered in mainland China or Hong Kong. In addition, while we note that you have a U.S. based auditor that is registered with the PCAOB and currently subject to PCAOB inspection, please disclose any material risk to the company and investors if it is later determined that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely your auditor because of a position taken by an authority in a foreign jurisdiction. For example, disclose that lack of inspection could cause trading in your securities to be prohibited under the HFCAA and as a result an exchange may determine to delist your securities. Also ensure you address the impact that the lack of PCAOB inspection may have on your securities in the risk factor summary on page 45.

 

Response: In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company propose to replace the risk factor related to HFCAA on Page 64 of the 2020 Annual Report in Item 1A with the following when it files its 2022 Annual Report with necessary updates based on the developments by the time of such filing:

 

Our auditor is headquartered in the United States, and is subject to inspection by the PCAOB on a regular basis. To the extent that our independent registered public accounting firm’s audit documentation related to their audit reports for our company become located in China or if it later determined that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely our auditor because of a position taken by an authority in a foreign jurisdiction, the PCAOB may not be able to inspect such audit documentation and, as such, you may be deprived of the benefits of such inspection and our common stock could be delisted from the Nasdaq pursuant to the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act.

 

The Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, or the HFCAA, was enacted on December 18, 2020. The HFCAA states if the SEC determines that we have filed audit reports issued by a registered public accounting firm that has not been subject to inspection by the PCAOB for three consecutive years beginning in 2021, the SEC shall prohibit our shares from being traded on a national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter trading market in the United States. Furthermore, on June 22, 2021, the U.S. Senate passed the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (“AHFCAA”), which, if enacted, would amend the HFCAA and require the SEC to prohibit an issuer’s securities from trading on any U.S. stock exchanges if its auditor is not subject to PCAOB inspections for two consecutive years instead of three, thus reducing the time period for triggering the prohibition on trading.

 

We are required by the HFCAA to have an auditor that is subject to the inspection by the PCAOB. While our present auditor is located in the United States and the PCAOB is able to conduct inspections on such auditor, to the extent this status changes in the future and our auditor’s audit documentation related to their audit reports for our company becomes outside of the inspection by the PCAOB or if the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely our auditor because of a position taken by an authority in a foreign jurisdiction, trading in our common stock could be prohibited under the HFCAA, and as a result our common stock could be delisted from Nasdaq.

11.We note you disclosures on page 57 regarding the risks and uncertainties of the policies of the PRC government. Given the Chinese government’s significant oversight and discretion over the conduct of your business, please revise to highlight the risk that the Chinese government may intervene or influence your operations at any time, which could result in a material change in your operations and/or the value of your securities. Also, given recent statements by the Chinese government indicating an intent to exert more oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in China-based issuers, acknowledge the risk that any such action could significantly limit or completely hinder your ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or be worthless.

 

Response: In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company pointed out to Page 57 of the 2021 Annual Report, and proposed to update its disclosure in Item 1A under the subtitle: “Substantial uncertainties and restrictions with respect to the political and economic policies of the PRC government and PRC laws and regulations could have a significant impact upon the business that we may be able to conduct in the PRC and accordingly on the results of our operations and financial condition.” by adding the following paragraph:

 

“Accordingly, given the PRC government’s significant oversight and discretion over the conduct of our VIE and its subsidiaries’ business, it may intervene or influence the operations of our PRC subsidiaries or our VIEs at any time and to exert control over an offering of securities conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in China-based issuers, which may cause us to make material changes to the operations of our or our VIE and its subsidiaries and could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of our securities to significantly decline or be worthless.”

 

12.We note your disclosure on page 65 regarding recent actions by the CAC. In light of recent events indicating greater oversight by the CAC over data security, particularly for companies seeking to list on a foreign exchange, please revise your disclosure to explain how this oversight impacts your business and to what extent you believe that you are compliant with the regulations or policies that have been issued by the CAC to date.

 

Response: As of the date herein, the Company’s operations and business have not been and the management is not aware of its operations, business and overseas listing are impacted by the existing regulations posed by CAC over data security, particularly for companies seeking to list on a foreign exchange. We propose to insert the following into our risk factors section:

 

Compliance with China’s new Data Security Law, Measures on Cybersecurity Review, Personal Information Protection Law (second draft for consultation), regulations and guidelines relating to the multi-level protection scheme and any other future laws and regulations may entail significant expenses and could materially affect our business.

China has implemented or will implement rules and is considering a number of additional proposals relating to data protection. China’s new Data Security Law took effect in September 2021. The Data Security Law provides that data processing activities must be conducted based on “data classification and hierarchical protection system” for the purpose of data protection and prohibits entities in China from transferring data stored in China to foreign law enforcement agencies or judicial authorities without prior approval by the Chinese government.

 

As of the date of this report, Datasea, the VIE and its subsidiaries have not been involved in any investigations on cybersecurity review initiated by any PRC regulatory authority, nor has any of them received any inquiry, notice, or sanction. We do not regard Datasea, the VIE and its subsidiaries are subject to cybersecurity review with the Cyberspace Administration of China (“CAC”) pursuant to the Cybersecurity Review Measures (2021), since we currently do not have over one million users’ personal information and do not anticipate that we will be collecting over one million users’ personal information in the foreseeable future, which we understand might otherwise subject us to the draft Measures for Cybersecurity Censorship. We are also not aware that there are relevant laws or regulations in the PRC explicitly requiring us to seek approval from the China Securities Regulatory Commission for our overseas listing. We, our subsidiaries, the VIE and its subsidiaries have not received any inquiry, notice, warning, or sanctions regarding our overseas listing from the China Securities Regulatory Commission or any other PRC governmental authorities. Since these statements and regulatory actions are new, however, official guidance and related implementation rules have not been issued. It is highly uncertain what the potential impact such modified or new laws and regulations will have on the daily business operations of our subsidiaries and VIE, our ability to accept foreign investments, and our listing on a U.S. exchange. The PRC regulatory authorities may in the future promulgate laws, regulations, or implementing rules that require us, our subsidiaries, or the VIE to obtain regulatory approval from Chinese authorities for listing in the U.S. If we do not receive or maintain the approval, or inadvertently conclude that such approval is not required, or applicable laws, regulations, or interpretations change such that we are required to obtain approval in the future, we may be subject to an investigation by competent regulators, fines or penalties, or an order prohibiting us from conducting an offering, and these risks could result in a material adverse change in our operations and the value of our securities, significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors, or cause such securities to significantly decline in value or become worthless.

 

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures, page 80

 

13.Please revise management’s report to identify the version of the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) Internal Control – Integrated Framework that was used to perform your assessment, (i.e., the 1992 Framework or the Updated Framework issued in 2013). Please refer to Item 308(a)(2) of Regulation S-K.

 

Response: In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company propose to revise its disclosure to indicate its internal control assessment by the management is based on the Updated Framework of the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued in 2013.

Exhibit A

 

The content contained in Exhibit A hereunder is the proposed amended disclosure for the portion of the 2021 Annual Report from Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements to the end of Item 1 Business. This part, after its clearance of comments from the Staff, will serve as a base to prepare the Company’s 2022 Annual Report and an amendment to the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-259177) before it is declared effective by the Staff.

 

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. All statements other than statements of historical fact are “forward-looking statements” for purposes of federal and state securities laws, including, but not limited to, any projections of earnings, revenue or other financial items; any statements of the plans, strategies and objectives of management for future operations; any statements concerning proposed new services or developments; any statements regarding future economic conditions of performance; and statements of belief; and any statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. 

 

In some cases, you can identify forward looking statements by terms such as “may,” “intend,” “might,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” or the negative of these terms. These terms and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements in this report are based upon management’s current expectations and belief, which management believes are reasonable. However, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor or combination of factors, or factors we are aware of, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements.  These statements represent our estimates and assumptions only as of the date of this report. Except to the extent required by federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

 

Recently, the Chinese government announced that it would step up supervision of Chinese firms listed offshore. Under the new measures, China will improve regulation of cross-border data flows and security, crack down on illegal activity in the securities market and punish fraudulent securities issuance, market manipulation and insider trading, China will also check sources of funding for securities investment and control leverage ratios. The Cyberspace Administration of China (“CAC”) has also opened a cybersecurity probe into several U.S.-listed tech giants focusing on anti-monopoly, financial technology regulation and more recently, with the passage of the Data Security Law, how companies collect, store, process and transfer data.

 

As a holding company with no material operations of our own, we conduct a substantial majority of our operations through our operating entities established in the People’s Republic of China, or the PRC, primarily our variable interest entity and its subsidiaries, collectively, the VIE. Due to PRC legal restrictions on foreign ownership in certain internet-related businesses we may explore and operate in the future, we do not have any equity ownership of our VIE, instead we receive the economic benefits of our VIE’s business operations through certain contractual arrangements. Our shares of common stock listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market are shares of our Nevada holding company that maintains service agreements with the associated operating companies. As an investor of our common stock, you may never directly hold equity interests in the Chinese operating companies. There is a risk that the Chinese government may in the future seek to affect operations of any company with any level of operations in PRC, including its ability to offer securities to investors, list its securities on a U.S. or other foreign exchange, conduct its business or accept foreign investment. Substantial uncertainties and restrictions with respect to the political and economic policies of the PRC government and PRC laws and regulations could have a significant impact upon the business that we may be able to conduct in the PRC and accordingly on the results of our operations and financial condition. If the Chinese regulatory authorities could disallow our structure or any or all of the foregoing were to occur, it could, in turn, result in a material change in the Company’s operations and/or the value of its common stock and/or significantly limit or completely hinder its ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or be worthless. Lastly, while our auditor is not subject to the determinations announced by the PCAOB on December 16, 2021, to the extent it becomes subject to such determinations in the future, trading in our securities may be prohibited under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (“HFCAA”) if the PCAOB determines that it cannot inspect or investigate completely our auditor, and that as a result Nasdaq may determine to delist our securities.

 

i

 

 

You should be aware that our actual results could differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements due to a number of factors (some of which may be beyond our control), including:

 

  uncertainties relating to our ability to establish and operate our business in China; uncertainties regarding the enforcement of laws and the fact that rules and regulations in China can change quickly with little advance notice, along with the risk that the Chinese government may intervene or influence our operations at any time, or may exert more control over offerings conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in China-based issuers could result in a material change in our operations, financial performance and/or the value of our common stock or impair our ability to raise money;

 

  We depend upon the VIE Agreements in conducting our business in the PRC, which may not be as effective as a direct ownership structure;

 

  We may not be able to consolidate the financial results of some of our affiliated companies or such consolidation could materially adversely affect our operating results and financial condition;

 

  our ability to operate our company as a U.S. publicly-reporting and listed enterprise;

 

  uncertainties relating to general economic and business conditions in China and worldwide;

 

  industry trends and changes in demand for our products and services;

 

  uncertainties relating to customer plans and commitments and the timing of orders received from customers;

 

  announcements or changes in our pricing policies or that of our competitors;

 

  unanticipated delays in the development, commercialization or market acceptance of our products and services;

 

  changes in Chinese government regulations;

 

  availability, terms and deployment of capital; relationships with third-party equipment suppliers; and

 

  political stability and economic growth in China.

PART I

 

Item 1. Description of Business. 

 

Overview

 

Datasea Inc. (the “Datasea”, with its subsidiaries and VIE, as defined below, collectively, the “Company” or “We”) was incorporated in Nevada on September 26, 2014. As a holding company with no material operations of our own, we conduct a substantial majority of our operations through our operating entities established in the People’s Republic of China, or the PRC, primarily our variable interest entity (the “VIE”). We do not have any equity ownership of our VIE, instead we control and receive the economic benefits of our VIE’s business operations through certain contractual arrangements. Our common stock that currently listed on the Nasdaq Capital Markets are shares of our Nevada holding company that maintains service agreements with the associated operating companies.

 

 

VIE Agreements

 

Shuhai Information Technology Co., Ltd. (“Shuhai Beijing”) is Datasea’s VIE. Through contractual arrangements with Shuhai Beijing, and its shareholders, Zhixin Liu, a 35% shareholder, and Fu Liu, a 65% shareholder, we receive benefits from the business and lead the daily operation. Such contractual agreement is indirect and may not be as effective as direct ownership. Please see a condensed consolidating schedule that disaggregates the operations and depicts the financial position, cash flows, and results of operations as of the same dates and for the same periods for which audited consolidated financial statements in tabular form in pages F-12 to F-14 of the Annual Report.

 

Operation and Intellectual Property Service Agreement – The Operation and Intellectual Property Service Agreement allows Tianjin Information Sea Information Technology Co., Ltd (“Tianjin Information”) to manage and operate Shuhai Beijing and collect 100% of their net profits. Under the terms of the Operation and Intellectual Property Service Agreement, Shuhai Beijing entrusts Tianjin Information to manage its operations, manage and control its assets and financial matters, and provide intellectual property services, purchasing management services, marketing management services and inventory management services to Shuhai Beijing. Shuhai Beijing and its stockholders shall not make any decisions nor direct the activities of Shuhai Beijing without Tianjin Information’s consent.

 

Stockholders’ Voting Rights Entrustment Agreement – Tianjin Information has entered into a stockholders’ voting rights entrustment agreement (the “Entrustment Agreement”) under which Zhixin Liu and Fu Liu (collectively the “Shuhai Beijing Stockholders”) have vested their voting power in Shuhai Beijing to Tianjin Information or its designee(s). The Entrustment Agreement does not have an expiration date, but the parties can agree in writing to terminate the Entrustment Agreement.

Equity Option Agreement – the Shuhai Beijing Stockholders and Tianjin Information entered into an equity option agreement (the “Option Agreement”), pursuant to which the Shuhai Beijing Stockholders have granted Tianjin Information or its designee(s) the irrevocable right and option to acquire all or a portion of Shuhai Beijing Stockholders’ equity interests in Shuhai Beijing for an option price of RMB0.001 for each capital contribution of RMB1.00. Pursuant to the terms of the Option Agreement, Tianjin Information and the Shuhai Beijing Stockholders have agreed to certain restrictive covenants to safeguard the rights of Tianjin Information under the Option Agreement. Tianjin Information agreed to pay RMB1.00 annually to Shuhai Beijing Stockholders to maintain the option rights. Tianjin Information may terminate the Option Agreement upon prior written notice. The Option Agreement is valid for a period of 10 years from the effective date and renewable at Tianjin Information’s option.

 

Equity Pledge Agreement – Tianjin Information and the Shuhai Beijing Stockholders entered into an equity pledge agreement on October 27, 2015 (the “Equity Pledge Agreement”). The Equity Pledge Agreement serves to guarantee the performance by Shuhai Beijing of its obligations under the Operation and Intellectual Property Service Agreement and the Option Agreement. Pursuant to the Equity Pledge Agreement, Shuhai Beijing Stockholders have agreed to pledge all of their equity interests in Shuhai Beijing to Tianjin Information. Tianjin Information has the right to collect any and all dividends, bonuses and other forms of investment returns paid on the pledged equity interests during the pledge period. Pursuant to the terms of the Equity Pledge Agreement, the Shuhai Beijing Stockholders have agreed to certain restrictive covenants to safeguard the rights of Tianjin Information. Upon an event of default or certain other agreed events under the Operation and Intellectual Property Service Agreement, the Option Agreement and the Equity Pledge Agreement, Tianjin Information may exercise the right to enforce the pledge. 

 

There are a number of uncertainties regarding the status of the rights of the Nevada holding company with respect to its contractual arrangements with the VIE, its founders and owners, including whether the PRC legal system could limit our ability to enforce these contractual agreements due to uncertainties under Chinese law and jurisdictional limits. Due to PRC legal restrictions on foreign ownership in any internet-related businesses we may explore and operate, we do not have any equity ownership of our VIE, instead we receive the economic benefits of our VIE’s business operations through certain contractual arrangements. Our common stock that currently listed on the Nasdaq Capital Markets are shares of our Nevada holding company that maintains service agreements with the associated operating companies. The Chinese regulatory authorities could disallow our structure, which could result in a material change in our operations and the value of our securities could decline or become worthless.

 

We believe that our corporate structure and contractual arrangements comply with the current applicable PRC laws and regulations. We also believe that each of the contracts among our wholly-owned PRC subsidiary, our consolidated VIE and its shareholders is valid, binding and enforceable in accordance with its terms. However, there are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of current and future PRC laws and regulations. Thus, the PRC governmental authorities may take a view contrary to the opinion of our PRC legal counsel. It is uncertain whether any new PRC laws or regulations relating to variable interest entity structure will be adopted or if adopted, what they would provide. PRC laws and regulations governing the validity of these contractual arrangements are uncertain and the relevant government authorities have broad discretion in interpreting these laws and regulations.

 

Having our operations conducted by our subsidiaries and through contractual arrangements with a variable interest entity (VIE) based in China involves unique risks to investors. The VIE structure is used to allow foreign investment in China-based companies where Chinese law prohibits or restricts direct foreign investment in the operating entities. Our VIE contractual agreement has not been tested in court. We may have to incur substantial costs and expend significant resources to enforce such arrangements in reliance on legal remedies under PRC law.

 

All of these contractual arrangements are governed by PRC law and provide for the resolution of disputes through arbitration in the PRC. Accordingly, these contracts would be interpreted in accordance with PRC laws and any disputes would be resolved in accordance with PRC legal procedures. In addition, Contractual arrangements entered into by our subsidiary and our PRC operating affiliate may be subject to scrutiny by the PRC tax authorities. Such scrutiny may lead to additional tax liability and fines, which would hinder our ability to achieve or maintain profitability. If the PRC government deems that the VIE Agreements do not comply with PRC regulatory restrictions on foreign investment in the relevant industries or other laws or regulations of the PRC, or if these regulations or the interpretation of existing regulations change in the future, we could be subject to severe penalties or be forced to relinquish our interests in those operations, which may therefore materially reduce the value of our ordinary shares. In the event that in the future a company we hold as a VIE no longer meets the definition of a VIE under applicable accounting rules, or we are deemed not to be the primary beneficiary, we would not be able to consolidate line by line that entity’s financial results in our consolidated financial statements for reporting purposes. For a detailed discussion of risks facing the Company as a result of this VIE structure, please see “Risks Related to our Corporate Structure” from P53 to P56 in the Annual Report.

 

The investor may never hold interests in the Chinese operating company.

 

None of our VIE and its subsidiaries have issued any dividends or distributions to respective holding companies, or to any investors as of the date of this report. Our VIE and its subsidiaries in the PRC generate and retain cash generated from operating activities and re-invest it in its business. In the future, cash proceeds raised from overseas financing activities, including the cash proceeds from the exercise of the warrants by the investors, may be transferred by Datasea through our Hong Kong subsidiary, Shuhai Information Skill (HK) Limited to our PRC subsidiary Tianjin Information via capital contribution and shareholder loans, as the case may be. Tianjin Information then will transfer funds to our VIE and its subsidiaries to meet the capital needs of their business operations.

 

During each of the fiscal years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the only transfer of assets among Datasea and its subsidiaries, including the VIE was transfer of cash. Datasea provided cash to its subsidiaries either by way of capital contribution or by way of loan, from the proceeds it received from the financings. In addition, there were some loans obtained by certain Chinese subsidiaries, and those subsidiaries then loaned money to other subsidiaries to meet their working capital needs. The cash was transferred within the organization through the bank wiring. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, Datasea invested an aggregate of approximately $1.36 million in cash to Shuhai information Skill (HK) Ltd, which amount was then invested to Tianjin Information. During fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, Tianjin Information transferred an aggregate of approximately $1.1 million in cash to Shuhai Beijing.

The Company resumed its operations in April 2020. As a recipient of the PRC government support programs intended to mitigate the adverse economic impact of the pandemic, the Company’s business operations has recovered and not be materially affected going forward. Its Smart security platform has enabled the Company’s R&D team to continue working in online mode during the pandemic. In addition, the Company believes its efforts to move its functions online were sufficiently prompt and effective to minimize adverse effects on the Company’s financial reporting and internal control over financing reporting systems. The Company does not anticipate any impairments of its assets. However, the Company expects that the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the United States and world economies may have a material adverse effect on the demand for the Company’s services. We currently believe that our financial resources will be adequate to see us through the outbreak. However, in the event that the pandemic continues on for a longer period of time, we may need to raise capital in the future.

History and Background

 

Information relating to the history about Datasea, Shuhai Beijing and its subsidiaries is incorporated by reference from our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year June 30, 2020 filed with the SEC on September 28, 2020 (“2020 Annual Report”) under the caption “History and Background.”

 

VIE Agreements

 

Information relating to our corporate history is incorporated by reference from our 2020 Annual Report under the caption “VIE Agreements.”  

 

Datasea relies on contractual arrangements with our consolidated VIE and its shareholders, Zhixin Liu, Chairman of the Board, President, CEO of the Company and Corporate Secretary, and Fu Liu, a Director of the Company (Fu Liu is the father of Zhixin Liu), to operate our business. Therefore, Shuhai Beijing’s affiliationis managed through the VIE Agreements. Such agreements only provide indirect affiliation, and may not be as effective in providing us with equity ownership over Shuhai Beijing as direct ownership. These contractual arrangements may not be as effective as direct ownership in providing us with management over our consolidated VIE. Shuhai Beijing, as the VIE in China, does satisfy for consolidation of the VIE under U.S. GAAP, and Datasea, due to the contract arrangements, is the primary beneficiary of the VIE for accounting purposes. If our consolidated VIE or its shareholders fail to perform their respective obligations under these contractual arrangements, our recourse to the assets held by our consolidated VIE is indirect and we may have to incur substantial costs and expend significant resources to enforce such arrangements in reliance on legal remedies under PRC law. These remedies may not always be effective, particularly in light of uncertainties in the PRC legal system. Furthermore, in connection with litigation, arbitration or other judicial or dispute resolution proceedings, assets under the name of any of record holder of equity interest in our consolidated VIE, including such equity interest, may be put under court custody. As a consequence, we cannot be certain that the equity interest will be disposed pursuant to the contractual arrangement or ownership by the record holder of the equity interest.

 

A condensed consolidating schedule that disaggregates the operations and depicts the financial position, cash flows, and results of operations as of the same dates and for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 in tabular form was contained in pages F-12 to F-14 of the 2021 Annual Report.

 

All of these contractual arrangements are governed by PRC law and provide for the resolution of disputes through arbitration in the PRC. Accordingly, these contracts would be interpreted in accordance with PRC laws and any disputes would be resolved in accordance with PRC legal procedures. The legal environment in the PRC is not as developed as in other jurisdictions, such as the U.S. As a result, uncertainties in the PRC legal system could limit our ability to enforce these contractual arrangements. In the event that we are unable to enforce these contractual arrangements, or if we suffer significant time delays or other obstacles in the process of enforcing these contractual arrangements, it would be very difficult to exert effective control over our consolidated VIE, and our ability to conduct our business and our financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

Government Regulation; Licenses  

 

Our operations are subject to and affected by PRC laws and regulations. The primary governmental regulation regulating the Internet security equipment industry in the PRC is the Cybersecurity Law, effective June 1, 2017, which governs entities providing “critical information infrastructure.” This statute provides basic protections for Internet users, such as not selling individual’s data to other companies without the user’s permission and not knowingly distributing malware. China’s new Data Security Law took effect in September 2021. The Data Security Law provides that data processing activities must be conducted based on “data classification and hierarchical protection system” for the purpose of data protection and prohibits entities in China from transferring data stored in China to foreign law enforcement agencies or judicial authorities without prior approval by the Chinese government.

 

On December 28, 2021, Cyberspace Administration of China (the “CAC”) and other 12 relevant PRC governmental authorities jointly promulgated the Cybersecurity Review Measures, which took effect on February 15, 2022. The Cybersecurity Review Measures provide that, in addition to critical information infrastructure operators (“CIIOs”) that intend to purchase Internet products and services, net platform operators engaging in data processing activities that affect or may affect national security must be subject to cybersecurity review by the Cybersecurity Review Office of the PRC. According to the Cybersecurity Review Measures, a cybersecurity review assesses potential national security risks that may be brought about by any procurement, data processing, or overseas listing. The Cybersecurity Review Measures require that an online platform operator which possesses the personal information of at least one million users must apply for a cybersecurity review by the CAC if it intends to be listed in foreign countries. As of the date of this report, we do not have over one million users’ personal information and do not anticipate that we will be collecting over one million users’ personal information in the foreseeable future.

 

Our wholly owned subsidiaries and our VIE and its subsidiaries are required to have, and each has, a business license issued by the PRC State Administration for Market Regulation and its local counterparts. In addition, major PRC regulations applicable to our products and services and the Internet security industry include Internet Security Protection Technology Measures Provision (Ministry of Public Security Order No. 82) (“Order 82”). Order 82 specifies certain security measures Internet service providers shall take to ensure Internet security. Providers of ISP connecting service and Internet-based data processing service are within the scope of Order 82. It does not call for any license or permission to any entities.

The Regulations on Mergers and Acquisitions of Domestic Companies by Foreign Investors, or the M&A Rules, adopted by six PRC regulatory agencies in 2006 and amended in 2009, requires an overseas special purpose vehicle formed for listing purposes through acquisitions of PRC domestic companies and controlled by PRC companies or individuals to obtain the approval of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, or CSRC prior to the listing and trading of such special purpose vehicle’s securities on an overseas stock exchange. Substantial uncertainty remains regarding the scope and applicability of the M&A Rules to offshore special purpose vehicles. Although we believe that CSRC’s approval is not required for the listing and trading of our common stock on Nasdaq, we cannot assure you that relevant PRC governmental agencies, including the CSRC, would reach the same conclusion as we do.

 

1. The primary governmental regulations applicable to Xinrui “Safe Campus” security system are:
