BEIJING and NEW YORK, May 31, 2023 -- Wins Finance Holdings Inc. ("Wins Finance" or the "Company") (OTC: WINS), a company focus on investment and asset management that provides integrated financing solutions to small and medium enterprises ("SMEs") in China and is developing a business in medical equipment sales. Today announced its unaudited financial results for the first six months ended December 31, 2022.

 

Fiscal Six Months Ended December 31, 2022 - Financial and Operational Summary

 

· Direct financing lease interest income was $0.03 million, compared to $0.5 million for the corresponding period ended December 31, 2021.
   
· Medical equipment sales was $1.0 million, compared to nil for the corresponding period ended December 21,2021.

 

On July 21, 2022, Wins Finance Holdings Inc. (the “Company”) issued options to purchase an aggregate of 900,000 of its ordinary shares to 29 of its officers.

 

At present the main focus of our operations is the sale of medical equipment, financial leasing and financial advisory services. Our financial leasing business has been unaffected by the disposal of our financial guarantee business. In the future, Wins’s medical business will mainly focus on the sales of domestic medical characteristic equipment and consumables. We have established a sales agent system covering the whole country, and now we are selling PET-CT products (Beijing Ruishi Kang, Beijing Sanuo United, Shanghai United Film), crema ultrasound (Xinbo Medical), B-ultrasound (Shanghai United Film, Samsung), orthopedic consumables (Tianjin Boshuobi) and bone nails to medical device companies.

 

On October 11, 2021, Wins established Dalian Ruikai Taifu Investment Management Co., LTD., which specializes in the medical equipment sales business. On April 7, 2022Dalian Ruikai Taifu acquired a 71.43% interest in Zhongrui Xukai (Beijing) Technology Co., LTD. The main business includes the sale of specialty medical equipment and consumables and the establishment of cancer diagnosis and treatment centers in China. On September 19, 2022, Zhongrui Xukai acquired a 51% interest in Tianjin Runcheng Medical Technology Co., LTD. Its main businesses are medical sales and medical management. Medical Equipment sales were $1.0 million for the six months ended December 31, 2022. Of such amount, (i) sales by Xukai were $0.7 million, mainly selling PET-CT intraocular lens and molybdenum target to hospitals, and (ii) Runcheng generated $0.25 million of sales, mainly selling bone nails and accessories to medical device companies. In the future, we believe that the medical business will become our main source of income. On June 16, 2021, we established Beijing Fu Sheng Xing Trading Co., LTD., which is mainly engaged in medical equipment sales. We plan to gradually divest the leasing business.

 

 

 

 

In view of the slowdown in the Chinese economy and the impact of COVID-19, lessees’ ability to repay their rental expenses was significantly impaired since the beginning of 2020. We have instituted risk controls to mitigate the risks inherent in our financial leasing business and strengthen the recovery of our lease receivables. In addition, we are intent upon expanding our financing channels, developing new strategies to increase our cash flow and seeking out strategic investors to invest in our Company to develop our medical business. we expect our medical business to become our new business growth points in the future. We believe that we will be able to weather the currently difficult economic environment.

Current Outlook

 

The first six months of fiscal 2023 has been a period of transition for the Company given its disposal of its financial guarantee business as well as the lingering economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

Our board of directors adopted a 2022 Equity Incentive Plan in May 2022 which provides for the issuance of up to 9,498,725 shares under the plan. The purpose of the Plan is to encourage and enable the officers, employees, Non-Employee Directors and Consultants of Wins Finance Holdings, Inc. and its Affiliates upon whose judgment, initiative, and efforts the Company largely depends for the successful conduct of its business to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company. It is anticipated that providing such persons with a direct stake in the Company’s welfare will assure a closer identification of their interests with those of the Company and its stockholders, thereby stimulating their efforts on the Company’s behalf and strengthening their desire to remain with the Company. On July 21, 2022, the Company issued options to purchase an aggregate of 900,000 of its ordinary shares to 29 of its officers.

 

As the Company's strategic focus shifts to the medical business, we are establishing our own medical research and development and sales team. We believe that our operating experience and enhanced risk management protocols will ultimately help to propel growth once business conditions normalize and our competitive position in our sector continues to strengthen. However, we note that the period-to-period financial results of this sector is affected by the complexity, uncertainties and changes in China’s economic conditions as well the regulations governing the industry and can cause fluctuations in our periodic operating and financial results.
