 Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

In assessing our liquidity, we monitor and analyze our cash on-hand and our operating expenditure commitments.

To date, we financed our operations through internally generated cash, short-term loans and payable from related parties and equity financing. Our working capital was approximately $34.00 million as of June 30, 2024. We will not require any fund over the next twelve months upon issuance of this consolidated financial statements to operate at its current level, either from operating activities or funding.

 

If we are unable to realize its assets within the normal operating cycle of a twelve (12) month period, we may have to consider supplementing its available sources of funds through the following sources:

 

  other available sources of financing from PRC banks and other financial institutions;
  financial support from the Company’s related parties and shareholders; and
  issuance of convertible debt.

 

Based on the above considerations, our management is of the opinion that it has sufficient funds to meet our working capital requirements and debt obligations as they become due over the next twelve (12) months.
