2.	Business Description

The principal activities of Future FinTech Group Inc. (together with our direct or indirect subsidiaries, “we,” “us,” “our” or “the Company”) consist of production and sales of fruit juice concentrates, fruit juice beverages and other fruit-related products in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”, or “China”), and overseas markets. Due to drastically increased production cost and tightened environmental law in China, the Company is transforming its business from fruit juice manufacturing and distribution to a real-name blockchain e-commerce platform that integrates blockchain and internet technology.

On January 22, 2019, the company formally launched of GlobalKey SharedMall, also known as Chain Cloud Mall (CCM) v1.0, the real-name blockchain shared shopping mall platform that integrates blockchain and internet technology and distinguishes itself by utilizing the automatic value distribution system of blockchain and sharing the value of the platform with all participants in the system.

On June 1, 2019, CCM v2.0 was launched. Compared to the 1.0 version, CCM v2.0 has a wider variety of product categories, easier user interface, more transparent information, more stable operation, higher security level, and faster logistics. Currently, CCM v2.0 adopts a “multi-vendor hosted stores + platform self-hosted stores” model, supported by multiple local warehouses in different regions. The platform supports various marketing methods, including point rewards programs, coupons, live webcasts, game interactions, and social media sharing. Besides the blockchain-powered features, CCM v2.0 is also fully equipped with the same functions and services that other Chinese leading traditional e-commerce platforms provide.

Besides the design, development, testing, deployment and maintenance of a blockchain-based CCM Shared Shopping Mall, the Company also operates a supply chain, logistics and trading business for fruit juice products, foods and other consumer and agricultural products as well as a digital payment system, “DCON,” through blockchain technology. DCON is built to be a transparent digital payment system backed by blockchain technology and its mBTC is the only currency and payment system used in Nova Realm City (“NRC”) communities. Each Bitcoin exchanges for one million mBTC and DCON provides exchange services between its mBTC and Bitcoin.

The Company’s activities are principally conducted by subsidiaries operating in the PRC.

Principles of Consolidation

Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. This basis differs from that used in the statutory accounts of SkyPeople (China), , Food Industry Yidu,, Agriculture Plantation Yidu, Yingkou, Huludao Wonder,,Yichang Odd Orchard, Xi’an Cornucopia, Shaanxi Qiyiwangguo, Shaanxi Heying, Food Industry Jingyang, Foods Industry Zhouzhi, Hedetang Holding, Hedetang Research, SkyPeople Suizhong, Hedejiachuan Yichang, Guo Wei Mei, HeDeJiaChuan Foods Xi’an, Shenzhen Hedetang, Dcon Digipay, FinTech HK, Hedetang Foods China, Agricultural Silkroad, Agricultural Plantation Mei County Trading Market Yidu, Trading Market Mei County, Hedetang Plantations, GlobalKey Supply Chain Limited, Zhonglian Hengxin, FinTech (Xi’an), and Chain Future (Tianjin), and China Future (Beijing), all of which were prepared in accordance with the accounting principles and relevant financial regulations applicable to enterprises in the PRC. All necessary adjustments have been made to present the financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Uses of estimates in the preparation of financial statements

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and this 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 condensed consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The significant areas requiring the use of management estimates include, but not limited to, the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, estimated useful life and residual value of property, plant and equipment, provision for staff benefit, recognition and measurement of deferred income taxes and valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. Although these estimates are based on management’s knowledge of current events and actions management may undertake in the future, actual results may ultimately differ from those estimates.

Going Concern

The Company’s financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future.

Under the going concern assumption, an entity is ordinarily viewed as continuing in business for the foreseeable future with neither the intention nor the necessity of liquidation, ceasing trading, or seeking protection from creditors pursuant to laws or regulations. Accordingly, assets and liabilities are recorded on the basis that the entity will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.

The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully execute its new business strategy and eventually attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

For the first quarter of 2019, the Company started to recognize its revenue for the new business section of blockchain based e-commerce platform.

Shipping and Handling Costs

Shipping and handling amounts billed to customers in related sales transactions are included in sales revenues and shipping expenses incurred by the Company are reported as a component of selling expenses. The shipping and handling expenses of $3,243 and $8,614 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, are reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Expense) as a component of selling expenses.

Leases

Leases are reviewed and classified as capital or operating at their inception in accordance with ASC Topic 840, Accounting for Leases. For leases that contain rent escalations, the Company records monthly rent expense equal to the total amount of the payments due in the reporting period over the lease term. The difference between rent expense recorded and amount paid is credited or charged to a deferred rent account.

Earnings (loss) per share

The Company adopted ASC Topic 215, Statement of Shareholder Equity. Basic Earnings Per Share (“EPS”) are computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS give effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during a period. In computing diluted EPS, the average price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options and warrants.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract.” The standard requires implementation costs incurred by customers in cloud computing arrangements to be capitalized and amortized under the same premises of authoritative guidance for internal-use software. Adoption of ASU 2018-15 did not have any other material effect on the results of operations, financial position or cash flows of the Company.

In June 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update “ASU No. 2018-07 – Compensation – Stock Compensation”. The ASU expands the scope of current guidance to include all share-based payment arrangements related to the acquisition of goods and services from both non-employees and employees. The guidance in the ASU is effective for the Company in all fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Adoption of ASU 2018-07 did not have any other material effect on the results of operations, financial position or cash flows of the Company.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), “Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.” ASU 2018-02 was issued to allow the reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for the stranded tax effect resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act enacted on December 22, 2017. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, among other things, reduced the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%, which required the re-evaluation of any deferred tax assets or liabilities at the lowered tax rate which potentially could leave disproportionate tax effects in accumulated other comprehensive income. ASU 2018-02 allows for the election to reclassify these stranded tax effects to retained earnings. ASU 2018-02 is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period for public business entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued. Adoption of ASU 2018-02 did not have any other material effect on the results of operations, financial position or cash flows of the Company.

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standard-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

Discontinued Operation

The Company’s Huludao Wonder operation, a subsidiary which produces concentrated apple juice, has suffered continued operating losses since year 2014. In December 2016, the Company established a winding-down plan to close this operation. Based on the restructuring plan and in accordance with EITF 03-13, the Company presented the operating results from Huludao Wonder as a discontinued operation, as the Company believed that no continued cash flow would be generated by the disposed component (Huludao Wonder) and that the Company would have no significant continuing involvement in the operation of the discontinued component. Management of the Company initiated a plan to sell the property located in Huludao in December 2016, and ceased the depreciation of the property in accordance with SFAS No. 144.

The bank sued Huludao Wonder, the result was that according to the enforcement of the court, Huludao Wonder paid off its all owed long-term debt principal and interest due at the time of the settlement with its fixed assets in year 2018.

As of March 31, 2019, Huludao Wonder no longer incurred any income or expenses, and the Company believes there will not be any future significant cash flows from the discontinued operation, as the outstanding accounts receivable and accounts payable are immaterial to the Company’s financial position and liquidity.

Segment Reporting

The Company operates in four segments starting from fiscal 2019: shared shopping mall membership fee, fruit related products, sales of goods and others. Our concentrated juice and juice beverages are primarily produced by the Company’s Jingyang factory.

Since the Company began transforming its lines of business, membership fees from the shared shopping mall and sales of goods through the shared shopping mall platform started to generate the main revenues for the Company, and became the more important business sections of the Company, while its traditional business section of seasonal fruit related products shrunk.

In March 31, 2019, the Company sold its fruit related products and other products mainly to domestic customers in the PRC.

Some of these product segments might not individually meet the quantitative thresholds for determining reportable segments and we determine the reportable segments based on the discrete financial information provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker evaluates the results of each segment in assessing performance and allocating resources among the segments. Since there is an overlap of services provided and products manufactured between different subsidiaries of the Company, the Company does not allocate operating expenses and assets based on the product segments. Therefore, operating expenses and asset information by segment are not presented. Segment profit represents the gross profit of each reportable segment.

Commitments And Contingencies

Litigation

On June 29, 2015, SkyPeople China entered into a loan agreement with Beijing Bank. Pursuant to the loan agreement, SkyPeople China borrowed RMB 30 million (approximately $4.36 million) from Beijing Bank. Hongke Xue, Yongke Xue and Xiujun Wang provided guarantees for the loan and Shaanxi Boai Medical Technology Development Co., Ltd. (“Shaanxi Boai”) provided certain real estate property as a pledge for the loan. SkyPeople China did not repay the loan on time and Beijing Bank filed an enforcement request with Xi’an Intermediate People's Court in June 2017. The Xi’an Intermediate People’s Court seized real estate properties pledged by Shaanxi Boai and Xiujun Wang. In November 2018, the Court sold the real estate property pledged by Xiujun Wang for RMB1,170,180. Because the real estate property is Xiujun Wang’s primary home, the Court allocated RMB 117,000 to Xiujun Wang as transition home leasing fee and deducted outstanding mortgage payments, and the remaining amount was delivered to Beijing Bank as the repayment. The Court has also made inquiries to Beijing Bank as to whether it is willing to accept the pledged real estate property of Shaanxi Boai as the repayment of the outstanding loan for the amount of RMB 27,932,300 (approximately $4.06 million) but Beijing Bank has refused to take the real property as repayment of the loan and the enforcement has been terminated by the Court.

On March 8, 2016, SkyPeople China entered into a loan agreement with Ningxia Bank. Pursuant to the loan agreement, SkyPeople China borrowed RMB 25 million (approximately $3.63 million) from Ningxia Bank. Hongke Xue, Yongke Xue, Lake Chen, Shaanxi Boai Medical Technology Development Co., Ltd. and Shaanxi Qiyiwangguo provided guarantees for the loan. SkyPeople China also pledged 37 pieces of equipment and the related trademarks to Ningxia Bank for the loan. SkyPeople China has not repaid the loan and Ningxia Bank filed an enforcement action with Xi’an Intermediate people’s court in August 2017. The Court has frozen the assets of SkyPeople China that were pledged as guarantee for the loan from being transferred to any third-party, but the freeze does not limit or affect the use of these properties by SkyPeople China for its business. In July 2018, Shaanxi Qiyiwangguo filed a petition to the Court and requested the termination of the enforcement action on the basis that its guarantee of the loan was not valid because the seal used on the guarantee agreement was not authentic and the guarantee was not approved by the shareholders of Shaanxi Qiyiwangguo. On Novermber 27, 2019, Shaanxi Qiyiwangguo withdrew its petition and the Court agreed to such withdrawal and there has been on other progress of this case.

On December 23, 2015, SkyPeople China entered into two loan agreements with China Construction Bank. Pursuant to the loan agreements, SkyPeople China borrowed RMB 13.90 million (approximately $2.13 million), and RMB 30 million (approximately $4.59 million) from China Construction Bank, respectively. Shaanxi Boai Medical Technology Development Co., Ltd. (“Boai”), Hongke Xue, Yongke Xue, Xiujun Wang and Yingkou Trusty Fruits Co., Ltd. (“Yingkou”) provided pledges for the loans. SkyPeople China has not repaid the loans and China Construction Bank filed an enforcement action with Xi’an Intermediate People's Court in March 2017. In December 2017, SkyPeople China received the enforcement notice from the Court. The Court has seized certain parking space and land use rights pledged by Xiujun Wang and Boai and sold the land use right pledged by Boai in auction for approximately RMB 24,835,790 as repayment to China Construction Bank. The Court also seized certain land use rights pledged by Yingkou Trusty Fruits Co., Ltd., but the auction sale for those rights was not successful. SkyPeople China currently is in discussions with China Construction Bank on the payment terms and the final amount.

On May 9, 2016, SkyPeople China entered into loan agreements with China Construction Bank. Pursuant to the loan agreements, SkyPeople China borrowed RMB 22.9 million (approximately $3.50 million) from China Construction Bank. Shaanxi Province Credit Reassurance Company (“Credit Reassurance Company”) provided a guarantee to China Construction Bank for the loan, Hongke Xue and Yongke Xue provided their guarantees, and SkyPeople China provided an office space that it owned to Credit Reassurance Company as a pledge. SkyPeople China has not repaid the loan and Credit Reassurance Company repaid the loan for SkyPeople China. In June 2017, Credit Reassurance filed an enforcement action request with Xi’an Intermediate People’s Court (the “Court”) in June 2017. In December 2017, SkyPeople China received the enforcement notice from the Court. The Court issued a verdict to seize the office space of SkyPeople China for auction sale on December 26, 2017. In February 2018, the auction sale was conducted but not successful. In June 2018, the Court decided to use the pledge property as the repayment for the outstanding loan of RMB 12.21 million (approximately $1.78 million).

In April 2015, China Cinda Asset Management Co., Ltd. Shaanxi Branch (“Cinda Shaanxi Branch”) filed two enforcement proceedings with Xi’an Intermediate People’s Court (the “Court”) against the Company for alleged defaults pursuant to guarantees by the Company to its suppliers for a total amount of RMB 39,596,250 or approximately $5.8 million.

In September 2014, two long term suppliers of pear, mulberry, and kiwi fruits to the Company requested that the Company provide guarantees for their loans with Cinda Shaanxi Branch. Considering the long term business relationship and to ensure the timely supply of raw materials, the Company agreed to provide guarantees on the value of the raw materials supplied to the Company. Because Cinda Shaanxi Branch is not a bank authorized to provide loans, it eventually provided financing to the two suppliers through the purchase of accounts receivables of the two suppliers with the Company. In July 2014, the parties entered into two agreements – an Accounts Receivables Purchase and Debt Restructure Agreement, and Guarantee Agreements for Accounts Receivables Purchase and Debt Restructure. Pursuant to the agreements, Cinda Shaanxi Branch agreed to provide a RMB 100 million credit line on a rolling basis to the two suppliers and the Company agreed to pay its accounts payables to the two suppliers directly to Cinda Shaanxi Branch and provided guarantees for the two suppliers. In April 2015, Cinda Shaanxi Branch stopped providing financing to the two suppliers and the two suppliers were unable to continue the supply of raw materials to the Company. Consequently, the Company stopped making any payment to Cinda Shaanxi Branch.

The Company has responded to the Court and taken the position that the financings under the agreements are essentially the loans from Cinda Shaanxi Branch to the two suppliers, and because Cinda Shaanxi Branch does not have permits to make loans in China, the agreements are invalid, void and had no legal effect from the beginning. Therefore, the Company has no obligation to repay the debts owed by the two suppliers to Cinda Shaanxi Branch.

Upon the Court’s suggestion, the parties agreed to a settlement discussion in April 2017. As a part of the settlement discussion, on April 18, 2017, the Company withdrew its non-enforcement request from the Court without prejudice. Both parties are still in the process of settlement negotiations. If the parties cannot reach a settlement agreement, the Company has the right to refile the non-enforcement request with the Court. As the Company may still be liable for this loan, the Company recorded expenses and liability of $5.8 million as the result of these two enforcement proceedings in the third quarter of 2018.

In August 2017, Cinda Capital Financing Co. Ltd. (“Cinda”) filed a lawsuit with Beijing 2nd Intermediate People’s Court (the “Beijing Intermediate Court”) against the Company’s indirectly wholly-owned subsidiaries Shaanxi Guoweimei Kiwi Deep Processing Company, Ltd. (“Guoweimei”) and Hedetang Farm Products Trading Market (Mei County) Co., Ltd. (“Trading Market Mei County Co”, and together with Guoweimei, “Lessees”) requested that Lessees repay RMB 50 million (approximately $7.27 million) in capital lease fees, plus interest. Cinda has purchased or paid for refrigerant warehouse and trading hall to the suppliers and vendors and agreed to lease them to the Lessees for a leasing fee of RMB 50 million in December 2016. The capital leasing fee became due on its maturity date of June 2017, with certain land use rights of Lessees in Mei County and equity of Guoweimei as a pledge. The Company has disputed that the land use rights for the refrigerant warehouse and trading hall were never sold to or transferred to Cinda, therefore it is loan agreement and not capital lease agreement among the parties. Lessees have taken the position that Cinda is not a bank and does not have government permits required to make loans in China, and the agreements including pledge agreement were invalid, void and without legal effect from the beginning. Therefore, the Company only has the obligations to repay principal but not the interest. In November 2017, Beijing Intermediate Court ruled in favor of Cinda and the Lessees appealed the case to the Beijing Supreme Court. The Beijing Supreme Court held a hearing at the end of July 2018. On December 4, 2018, the Beijing Supreme Court upheld the lower court’s decision. Currently, the case is under enforcement procedure and Cinda is in the process of evaluating the value of the land use rights. Currently, the seized properties are still owned by subsidiaries of SkyPeople China.

In August 2017, Cinda Capital Financing Co. Ltd. (“Cinda”) filed another lawsuit with Beijing Intermediate Court against the Company’s indirectly wholly-owned subsidiaries Guoweimei and SkyPeople China for repayment of leasing fee of RMB 84,970,959 (approximately $12.35 million) plus interest. In January 2014, Guoweimei and SkyPeople China (the “Equipment Lessees”) signed an Equipment Financial Lease Purchase Agreement with Cinda and an equipment supplier pursuant to which Cinda would provide funds to purchase equipment and the Equipment Lessees would lease the equipment from Cinda. Guoweimei pledged certain land use rights in Mei County to Cinda and Xi’an Hedetang and Hedetang Holding pledged their equities in Guoweimei to Cinda to secure the repayment. Mr. Hongke Xue also provided a personal guarantee for the payment of the leasing fee. Beijing Intermediate Court had two hearings of the case and on March 21, 2018 it ruled in favor of Cinda to the effect that SkyPeople China and Guoweimei shall pay leasing fees due in the amount of RMB 20,994,048 (approximately $3.05 million), as well as leasing fees not yet due in the amount of RMB 63,975,910 (approximately $9.30 million), plus attorney’s fees and expenses. Beijing Intermediate Court also ruled that Mr. Hongke Xue is jointly liable for the debt as the guarantor, and that Cinda has priority rights to the pledged land use rights in Mei County and the pledged equities of Guoweimei as well as the ownership of the leasing properties until the leasing fees are paid. SkyPeople China has appealed the decision to the Beijing Supreme Court. The Beijing Supreme Court rejected the appeal and upheld the original verdict on September 7, 2018. Currently, the case is under enforcement procedure and the seized properties are still owned by subsidiaries of SkyPeople China.

In April 2015, SkyPeople China entered into a loan agreement with Shaanxi Fangtian Decoration Co. Ltd. (“Fangtian”). Pursuant to the loan agreement, SkyPeople China borrowed RMB 3.5 million (approximately $508,780) from Fangtian. SkyPeople China has not repaid the loan and Fangtian filed a lawsuit with Xi’an Yanta District People’s Court (“Yanta District Court”). On August 10, 2017, Yanta District Court ruled against SkyPeople China and determined that SkyPeople China must repay the loan of RMB 3.5 million plus interest RMB of 402,500 (approximately $585,098). Fangtian has requested that the Yanta District Court enter into enforcement procedures for the case.

On May 4, 2015, SkyPeople China and Xi’an Branch of Shanghai Pudong Development Bank (SPD Bank Xi’an Branch) renewed a Working Capital Loan Contract and Repayment Schedule, according to which both parties agreed that SPD Bank Xi’an Branch loaned RMB 26.9 million (approximately $3.92 million) to SkyPeople China with a term of one year. On the signing date of the Loan Contract, Hongke Xue, Yongke Xue, Xiujun Wang and SPD Bank Xi’an Branch signed a Contract of Guaranty, guaranteeing the repayment of loan and undertaking joint liability. According to a Mortgage Contract of Maximum Amount signed between SkyPeople China and SPD Bank Xi’an Branch on April 2, 2013, SkyPeople China provided one of its real properties and land use rights as the pledge. But SkyPeople China failed to repay after SPD Bank Xi’an Branch issued the loan.

In October 2015, SPD Bank Xi’an Branch filed the enforcement request with the Intermediate Court of Xi’an and the Court has seized pledge real property and land use rights and equity ownership of SkyPeople China in Wonder Fruit and SkyPeople Suizhong. During the enforcement procedure, SPD Bank Xi’an Branch has transferred its creditor’s rights to China Huarong Asset Management Co., Ltd. (“China Huarong”). The Court changed the execution applicant to China Huarong on December 12, 2018. China Huarong had applied to the Court to evaluate the seized real property and land use rights. The valuation process has not yet been completed.

Shaanxi Guoweimei Kiwi Deep Processing Co. Ltd (“Guoweimei”), entered into a construction agreement with Shaanxi Fangyuan construction co., Ltd. (“Fangyuan”) in July, 2013. On October 8, 2018, Fangyuan filed a lawsuit and requested that Guoweimei pay a project construction fee plus penalty of RMB 56,323,403.93 (approximately $8.22 million). On June 10, 2019, Baoji Intermediate People's Court issued a verdict that Guoweimei just pay RMB41, 576,833.4 (approximately $6.07 million) plus penalty to Fangyuan, and Fangyuan will enjoy preferential right for the projects in processing zone of National Wholesale and Trading Center in Mei County for Kiwi Fruits developed by Guoweimei.

In May 2015, Hedetang Farm Products Trading Markets (Mei County) Co., Ltd. (“Hedetang”) and Shaanxi Zhongkun Construction Co., Ltd. (“Zhongkun”) entered into a construction and decoration agreement. On September 5, 2018, Zhongkun filed the lawsuit with Shaanxi Provincial People’s Court (the “Court”) for repayment of construction and decoration fees. The Court issued a civil judgement in November 2018, ordering Hedetang to pay project funds of RMB 1,632,971.6 (approximately $238,389) to Zhongkun, plus interest. After entering into the enforcement phase, the Court found assets of Hedetang had been seized by Xi’an Yanta District People’s Court and Baoji Intermediate People's Court, and there were no other assets for enforcement, so the enforcement procedure has been terminated by the Court.

On October 31, 2017, Xi’an Shanmei Food Co. Ltd. filed a lawsuit against Shaanxi Qiyiwangguo, a majority-owned subsidiary of the Company, with Zhouzhi County People’s Court in connection with a Land Lease Agreement entered into by the parties on October 1, 2013. On March 2, 2018, Zhouzhi County People’s Court issued a verdict that: (i) the Land Lease Agreement was thereby terminated; (ii) Shaanxi Qiyiwangguo shall pay Xi’an Shanmei the outstanding leasing fee RMB 211,621 (approximately $30,762) and (iii) Shaanxi Qiyiwangguo shall return the 29.3 mu industrial use land to Xi’an Shanmei. Shaanxi Qiyiwangguo has appealed the decision to the Xi’an Intermediate People’s Court on the basis that: (x) the land use right was a capital contribution by Xi’an Shanmei for a shareholder of Shaanxi Qiyiwangguo who is also the sole shareholder of Xi’an Shanmei and the Land Lease Agreement was invalid and has no legal effect; (y) Zhouzhi Court did not schedule the hearing for the count claims filed by Shaanxi Qiyiwangguo; and (z) Zhouzhi Court violated certain civil procedures during the trial of the case. Due to the late notice to Zhouzhi Court, the case file was not timely transferred to Xi’an Intermediate Court and no appeal hearing was scheduled. Zhouzhi Court has issued verdict for enforcement procedure and Qiyiwangguo has filed petition of disagreement for the enforcement which is still under Zhouzhi Court’s review.

In January 2016 Shaanxi Qiyiwangguo Modern Organic Agriculture Co., Ltd (“Qiyiwangguo”) and Nanjing Bailuotong Logistics Services Co., Ltd (“Bailutong”) entered into a transportation agreement to ship fruit juices. Bailutong failed to deliver the juice products and held them after their expiration date. Qiyiwangguo filed a lawsuit against Bailutong with Zhouzhi county People’s Court, and the Court issue the verdict in February 2018 that: (1) the transportation contract between Qiyiwangguo and Bailutong was terminated; and (2) Bailutong owed RMB 203, 550.76 (approximately $29,715) to Qiyiwangguo for the loss of Qiyiwangguo. Bailutong appealed the case to Xi’an Intermediate People's Court. Xi’an Intermediate People's Court rejected the appeal and upheld the original verdict.

Qiyiwangguo entered into an agreement with Henan Huaxing Glass Co., Ltd. (“Huaxing”) in May 2014 for Huaxing to supply glass bottles to Qiyiwangguo. However, due to the disputes regarding the quality of products supplied by Huaxing, Qiyiwangguo did not pay the prices for certain glass bottles. In August 2017, Huaxing filed a lawsuit and the court ruled Qiyiwangguo was required to pay Huaxing RMB 203,742 (approximately $29,743) in July 2018. During the enforcement process, the parties reached a settlement agreement but Qiyiwangguo failed to pay the amount due and now the case is still in the court enforcement process.

In September 2016, the Suizhong Branch of Huludao Banking Co. Ltd. (“Suizhong Branch”) filed a lawsuit with Huludao Intermediate People’s Court (the “Huludao Court”) against the Company’s indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary Huludao Wonder Fruit Co., Ltd. (“Wonder Fruit”) and requested that Wonder Fruit repay a RMB 40 million (approximately $5.81 million) bank loan, plus interest. The loan became due on its maturity date of December 9, 2016. On December 19, 2016, the Huludao Court accepted the case. The Company has been disputing the interest rate of the loan with Suizhong Branch, and has not repaid the loan to date. Wonder Fruit believes that the interest charged by Suizhong Branch is 100% higher than the base rate set by People’s Bank of China and is not consistent with the China People’s Bank’s base interest and floating rate. The Huludao Court has seized land use rights, buildings and equipment of Wonder Fruit that were pledged as guarantee for the loan and has organized two auction sales for these assets in January and February of 2018, but both auction sales have been unsuccessful in finding a buyer. On July 19, 2018, the Court issued a verdict ordering Huludao Wonder to transfer its land use rights, building, equipment, electronic and transportation assets to Zuizhong Branch as payment of the outstanding principal, auction and evaluation fees and some interest of the loan for RMB 42, 639,264 (approximately $6.22 million).

In September 2017, Andrew Chien, a former consultant of SkyPeople China, brought a lawsuit against the Company and Mr. Hongke Xue in the District Court of Connecticut (the “Court”). The complaint was not properly served and the Company learned of the litigation in December 2017. In the complaint, Mr. Chien has made several claims, most of which attempt to hold the Company liable under novel legal theories that relate back to an alleged breach of a consulting agreement between SkyPeople China and Chien from August 2006. Mr. Chien claimed approximately $257,000 damages and interest plus 2% of the Company’s then-outstanding shares. Mr. Chien has unsuccessfully attempted to sue the Company on the breach of the same consulting agreement several times in the courts of Connecticut and New York, and these cases have been dismissed. The Company has filed a motion to dismiss (“MTD”) and all proceedings are stayed pending determination of the MTD. On August 31, 2018, the Court granted our MTD. On September 10, 2018, Mr. Chien filed a motion for reconsideration. On September 28, 2018, the Court denied Mr. Chien’s motion for reconsideration. On October 26, 2018, Mr. Chien appealed the case to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Second Circuit. The appeal is fully briefed and presently awaiting decision. The Company will vigorously defend this lawsuit and expects to obtain early dismissal of Mr. Chien’s claims.

We engage in the production and sale of fruit juice concentrates (including fruit purees and fruit juices), fruit beverages (including fruit juice beverages and fruit cider beverages) in the PRC. Due to drastically increased production cost and tightened environmental laws in China, the Company is transforming its business from fruit juice manufacturing and distribution to a real-name blockchain e-commerce platform that integrates blockchain and internet technology.

On January 22, 2019, the company formally launched GlobalKey SharedMall, also known as Chain Cloud Mall (CCM) v1.0, the real-name and membership-based blockchain shared shopping mall platform that integrates blockchain and internet technology and distinguishes itself by utilizing the automatic value distribution system of blockchain and sharing the value of the platform to all the participants in the system.

On June 1, 2019, CCM v2.0 was launched. Compared to the 1.0 version, CCM v2.0 has a wider variety of product categories, easier user interface, more transparent information, more stable operation, higher security level, and faster logistics. Currently, CCM v2.0 adopts a “multi-vendor hosted stores + platform self-hosted stores” model, supported by multiple local warehouses in different regions. The platform supports various marketing methods, including point rewards programs, coupons, live webcasts, game interaction, and social media sharing. Besides the blockchain-powered features, CCM v2.0 is also fully equipped with the same functions and services that other Chinese leading traditional e-commerce platforms provide.

CCM's blockchain-powered QRO plan enables CCM to record every event or transaction on a distributed ledger and make the whole process traceable. CCM is adopting an unalterable anti-counterfeit code to be issued by the manufacturers, which can ensure the authenticity of products and directly link manufacturers with their targeted customers as a way of precision marketing.

Based on blockchain technology, CCM is established to transform the relationship between companies and consumers from traditional selling and buying relationships to a value-sharing relationship. The platform will fairly distribute the benefit of the entire mall to users who engaged in the promotion, development, and consumption based on their contributions to the platform. The members of CCM are not only consumers and entrepreneurs but also participants, promoters and beneficiaries.

The CCM shared shopping mall platform is designed to be a block-chain based shopping mall for merchants and goods, not the exchange of digital currencies, and it currently only accepts payment from credit cards, Alipay, and Wechat.

We offer high-quality products at attractive prices and incentivize our members to promote our platform and share our products with their social contacts. Our platform has attracted a growing base of users, including members and non-members. These users are actively purchasing products on our platform. Since our trial operation of our platform on December 26, 2018, we had approximately 164 and 4,014 users as of December 31, 2018 and June 30, 2019, respectively.

Members are the key participants on our platform and drivers of our growth. Our members typically pay to gain access to a dedicated app that provides access to a curated selection of products, exclusive membership benefits, and features, including discounted prices and point rewards. Members can refer others to become members and are rewarded for doing so. Members can also promote products on various social platforms and are rewarded if those users purchase our products. We currently generate revenues primarily from fixed membership fees and selling products on our platform to users, including both members and non-members.

Currently, there are two kinds of membership programs, Diamond Elite and Silver Elite, with different membership Fees. The members are required to log onto Chain Cloud Mall (CCM) app or web portal in order to download some of their rewarding points each day. The member could download all his/her rewarding points if he/she log onto the app or web portal for at least 200 days within the membership valid period which is 365 days. Members must renew their membership before expiration to continue earning points and enjoy the discounts. A non-member user can purchase products from the platform but does not enjoy the above mentioned benefits.

Membership revenue is recognized when member registers and makes his/her first order on CCM app or web portal.

Membership benefits are as follows:

Receive a merchandise gift package

Exclusive discounts for merchandise sold on the Chain Cloud Mall (CCM) Web and App

Receive CCM-Points upon a successful new member and product referral

CCM-Points can be used as coupons for the member’s future purchases on our app and website.

In order to promote our membership program, we currently allow our users to join the membership program by purchasing any merchandise of the equivalent value of the membership fee through our CCM app or website as an alternative to paying the upfront fixed membership fee.

CCM-Points can only be used as credits when making purchases on our platform, with one CCM Point representing RMB1.00. CCM-Points cannot be redeemed for cash. Members may transfer CCM Points to others.

From December 2018, the trial period of e-commerce platform launched until August 31, 2019, we received proceeds of RMB 8,854,890.39, approximately $1,238,701 for fixed membership fees and merchandise sales from 5,977 members with 6,086 orders. For the first quarter of 2019, we received total proceeds of RMB2,094,799, approximately $311,101 from 1,209 members with 1,226 orders.

For our fruit juice business, core products are (1) fruit juice concentrates, mainly including concentrated apple, pear, and kiwi juices; (2) fruit beverages, including pure fruit beverages and fruit cider beverages; and (3) other fruit-related products, including, for example, fresh fruits, vegetables and fructose. Our fruit juice business is highly seasonal and can be greatly affected by weather because of the seasonal nature of growing and harvesting of fruits and vegetables. From the beginning of year 2019, we classified the above products all into one category of fruit related products.

Our production line at the Shaanxi Qiyiwangguo factory can only produce puree and concentrated puree. We use the production line that produces concentrated apple and pear juice in the facility of the Jingyang branch of SkyPeople (China) to produce concentrated clear kiwifruit juice.

For the first quarter of 2019, sales of our fruit-related products represented 38% of our revenue, compared to sales of 89% in the same period of 2018.

Fresh fruits are the primary raw materials needed for the juice production of our products. Our raw materials mainly consist of apples, pears and kiwifruits. Other raw materials used in our business include pectic enzyme, amylase, auxiliary power fuels and other power sources such as coal, electricity and water. We purchase raw materials from local markets and fruit growers that deliver directly to our plants.

There are two general categories of fruit and vegetable juices available in the market. One is fresh juice that is canned directly upon filtering and sterilization after being squeezed out of fresh fruits or vegetables. The other general category is juice drinks made out of concentrated fruit and vegetable juices. Concentrated fruit and vegetable juices are produced through the pressing, filtering, sterilization and evaporation of fresh fruits or vegetables. Concentrated juices are not drinkable. Instead, they are used as a basic ingredient for manufacturing juice drinks and as an additive to fruit wine, fruit jam, cosmetics and medicines.

As compared to our fruit juice concentrate products, which experience seasonality, fruit juice beverages can be produced and sold year-round.

The manufacturing process for fruit juice beverages involves further processing of fruit juice concentrates. Our fruit juice beverages are divided into two categories: pure fruit juice and fruit cider beverages. Currently we produce five flavors of fruit beverages in 236 ml glass bottles, 258 ml glass bottles, 280 ml glass bottles, 418 ml glass and 500 ml glass bottles, and BIB (bag in box) packages, including kiwifruit juice, mulberry juice, peach juice, pomegranate juice and fruit and vegetable juice. We also produce two flavors of lactobacillus fruit beverages in 268 ml glass bottles, including lactobacillus kiwifruit juice and lactobacillus mulberry juice, as well as three beverages with rich dietary fiber in 330 ml glass bottles, including kumquat and grapefruit juice, kiwifruit juice and mulberry juice. Our products are sold through distributors in stores.

Results of Operations

Comparison of Three Months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018:

Revenue

The following table presents our consolidated revenues for each of our main products and services for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively (in thousands for the revenue):

	Three month ended March 31,				Change
	2019		2018		Amount			%
Fruit related products	$	22	$	501	$	(479	)		(96	)%
CCM Shopping Mall Membership		22		-		22			100	%
Sales of goods		138		-		138			100	%
Others		14		61		(47	)		77	%
Total	$	196	$	562	$	(365	)		65	%

The decrease in gross revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was primarily due to decreased sales in our traditional main business section of fruit juice related products. Our new businesses, including CCM membership and sales of goods through e-commence platforms, are growing.

In the first quarter of year 2018, the Company operated in five segments: concentrated apple juice and apple aroma, concentrated kiwifruit juice and kiwifruit puree, concentrated pear juice, fruit juice beverages, and others. In the first quarter of year 2019, and in accordance with the Company’s new business strategy, the Company reclassified the concentrated apple juice and apple aroma, the concentrated kiwifruit juice and kiwifruit puree, the concentrated pear juice and the fruit juice beverages all into the category of fruit related products.

Sales from fruit related products decreased by 96% during the first quarter of 2019 primarily as a result of business transformation, which leads to decreased orders compared to the first quarter of 2018.

Furthermore, in the first quarter of 2019, the Company started to receive membership fees and sell products on its CCM e-commerce platform to its members or non-members, which is a brand new business section embodied in the Company’s current transformation. Therefore, revenue from segments of membership fees and sales of goods was a 100% change during the first quarter of 2019 compared to the same period of 2018.

Sales from our other products were $0.014 million and $0.061 million in the first quarters of 2019 and 2018, respectively. The segment of other products contains different products in first quarters of 2018 and 2019. In the first quarter of 2018, the Company’s other products included health care product and other by products, such as kiwifruit seeds, but in the first quarter of 2019, revenue from others were mainly attribute to leasing out a cold storage from a subsidiary of the Company to a third party.

Gross Margin

The following table presents the consolidated gross profit of each of our main products and services and the consolidated gross profit margin, which is gross profit as a percentage of the related revenues, for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively (in thousands for the gross profit):

	Three months ended March 31,

Others		14		100	%		17		11	%
Total/Overall (for gross margin)	$	53		27	%	$	63		28	%

The consolidated gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $0.05 million, a decrease of $0.01 million, from $0.06 million for the same period of 2018, primarily due to a business transformation resulting in a decrease in total sales, but increased sales for new emerging business segments.

The gross profit of our fruit related products segment decreased to $0.002 million for the first quarter of 2019 from $0.05 for the same period of 2018, and the gross margin decreased from 20% to 9% because of the higher percentage for the fixed cost of production due to the lower production activities.

Operating Expenses

The following table presents our consolidated operating expenses and operating expenses as a percentage of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively: (in thousands)

	First quarter of 2019						First quarter of 2018
	Amount			% of revenue			Amount		% of revenue
General and administrative	$	1,482			745	%	$	2,750		489	%
Selling expenses		80			41	%		93		17	%
R&D expenses		24			12	%		-		-
Impairment Loss		(23	)		-12	%		-		-
Total operating expenses	$	1,564			797	%	$	2,843		506	%

Operating expenses decreased $1.51 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the corresponding period in 2018 primarily due to decrease in general and administrative expenses.

General and administrative expenses decreased to $1.48 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, a decrease of $1.27 million as compared to the same period of 2018, mainly due to a decrease in depreciation cost of fixed assets and amortization. The Company recorded an impairment cost of fixed assets in fiscal year of 2018, which resulted in a lower depreciation expenses and amortization in the first quarter of 2019.

Selling expenses decreased $0.013 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018, mainly due to a decrease in the volume of sales.

The Company incurred $0.024 million in R&D expenses for the first quarter of year 2019 compared to $0 in the same period of 2018, mainly due to developing, testing, updating and maintaining a blockchain-based CCM Shared Shopping Mall and other related software systems.

Impairment loss was negative of $0.023 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, and $0 for the same period in 2018 because of the resale of markdown inventories at the end year of 2018.

Other Income (Expense), Net

Other expenses of $0.17 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, a decrease of $0.28 million as compared to the same period of 2018, primarily due to lower loan interest expenses incurred.

Interest expense decreased to $0.19 million, representing a decrease of $0.25 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2019, as compared to interest expense of $0.45 million during the same period of 2018. The decrease was primarily due to our discontinued operation of Huludao Wonder paying back the principals of its bank loan by transferring its fixed asset to the bank in year 2018, resulting in lower interest expenses for the first quarter of 2019.

Income Tax

We did not have tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 as the Company suffered a loss in the first quarter of 2019 and 2018.

Non-controlling Interests

As of March 31, 2018, SkyPeople (China) held a 91.15% interest in Shaanxi Qiyiwangguo, and Hedetang Holding (HK) held a 73.42% interest in SkyPeople (China). TSD held a 26.36% interest in SkyPeople (China). Net income attributable to non-controlling interests decreased mainly due to the decrease in the net income generated from Shaanxi Qiyiwangguo and SkyPeople (China).

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2019, we had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $0.51 million, an increase of $0.26 million, from $0.25 million as of December 31, 2018

Our working capital has historically been generated from our operating cash flows, advances from our customers and loans from bank facilities. Our working capital was negative $93.94 million, as of March 31, 2019, a decrease of $37.02 million from working capital of negative $56.92 million as of March 31, 2018, mainly due to a decrease in current assets. The Company revalued its accounts receivable including credit term and corresponding all its accounts receivables at the end of year 2018. Upon such revaluation, bad debt expense was increased, leading to a decrease of accounts receivable.

Off-balance sheet arrangements

As of March 31, 2019, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.

Legal Proceedings

On June 29, 2015, SkyPeople China entered into a loan agreement with Beijing Bank. Pursuant to the loan agreement, SkyPeople China borrowed RMB 30 million (approximately $4.36 million) from Beijing Bank. Hongke Xue, Yongke Xue and Xiujun Wang provided guarantees for the loan and Shaanxi Boai Medical Technology Development Co., Ltd. (“Shaanxi Boai”) provided certain real estate property as a pledge for the loan. SkyPeople China did not repay the loan on time and Beijing Bank filed an enforcement request with Xi’an Intermediate People's Court in June 2017. The Xi’an Intermediate People’s Court seized real estate properties pledged by Shaanxi Boai and Xiujun Wang. In November 2018, the Court sold the real estate property pledged by Xiujun Wang for RMB1,170,180. Because the real estate property is Xiujun Wang’s primary home, the Court allocated RMB 117,000 to Xiujun Wang as transition home leasing fee and deducted outstanding mortgage payments, and the remaining amount was delivered to Beijing Bank as the repayment. The Court has also made inquiries to the Beijing Bank as to whether it is willing to accept the pledged real estate property of Shaanxi Boai as the repayment of the outstanding loan for the amount of RMB 27,932,300 (approximately $4.06 million) but Beijing Bank has refused to take the real property as repayment of the loan and the enforcement has been terminated by the Court.

In August 2017, Cinda Capital Financing Co. Ltd. (“Cinda”) filed another lawsuit with Beijing Intermediate Court against the Company’s indirectly wholly-owned subsidiaries Guoweimei and SkyPeople China for repayment of leasing fee of RMB 84,970,959 (approximately $12.35 million) plus interest. In January 2014, Guoweimei and SkyPeople China (the “Equipment Lessees”) signed an Equipment Financial Lease Purchase Agreement with Cinda and an equipment supplier pursuant to which Cinda would provide funds to purchase equipment and the Equipment Lessees would lease the equipment from Cinda. Guoweimei pledged certain land use rights in Mei County to Cinda and Xi’an Hedetang and Hedetang Holding pledged their equities in Guoweimei to Cinda to secure the repayment. Mr. Hongke Xue also provided a personal guarantee for the payment of the leasing fee. Beijing Intermediate Court had two hearings of the case and on March 21, 2018, and it ruled in favor of Cinda to the effect that SkyPeople China and Guoweimei shall pay leasing fees due in the amount of RMB 20,994,048 (approximately $3.05 million), as well as leasing fees not yet due in the amount of RMB 63,975,910 (approximately $9.30 million), plus attorney’s fees and expenses. Beijing Intermediate Court also ruled that Mr. Hongke Xue is jointly liable for the debt as the guarantor, and that Cinda has priority rights to the pledged land use rights in Mei County and the pledged equities of Guoweimei as well as the ownership of the leasing properties until the leasing fees are paid. SkyPeople China has appealed the decision to the Beijing Supreme Court. The Beijing Supreme Court rejected the appeal and upheld the original verdict on September 7, 2018. Currently, the case is under enforcement procedure and the seized properties are still owned by subsidiaries of SkyPeople China.

Qiyiwangguo entered into an agreement with Henan Huaxing Glass Co., Ltd. (“Huaxing”) in May 2014 for Huaxing to supply glass bottles to Qiyiwangguo. However, due to the disputes regarding the quality of products supplied by Huaxing, Qiyiwangguo did not pay the prices for certain glass bottles. In August, 2017, Huaxing filed a lawsuit and the court ruled Qiyiwangguo was required to pay Huaxing RMB 203,742 (approximately $29,743) in July 2018. During the enforcement process, the parties reached a settlement agreement but Qiyiwangguo failed to pay the amount due and now the case is still in the court enforcement process.
