MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements, the notes to those financial statements and other financial data that appear elsewhere in our Quarterly Report on Form 6-K for the period ended September 30, 2021 (our “Form 6-K”). This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results and the timing of selected events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth in “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this report.
Overview
The Company derives revenue from the sales of cryptocurrency mining machine and standardized computing equipment, packaged software products, technical support plans, software customization services, and bundle of products or services that may include a combination of these items. We enter into contracts with customers that include promises to transfer various products and services, which are generally distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations. Revenue is recognized when the promised goods or services are transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration allocated to the respective performance obligation. We recorded and recognized revenues from both products and services in one account, which we present as revenues and revenues from related parties in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company derived revenue from the sales of the following three items:
(1) | Sales of Cryptocurrency Mining Machine and Standardized Computing Equipment |
The Company recognizes the product revenues on a gross basis as the Company is responsible for fulfill the promise to provide specified goods. Revenue is recognized at a point in time upon the acceptance from customers.
(2) | Retail Software Products |
The Company’s packaged software products consist of accounting software, fintech software, trading education software products and other online based management products. Revenue is recognized at a point in time upon the delivery of the perpetual license, and in a period of time throughout the effective period for the technical support plan, which generally is recognized over a six-month period.
(3) | Technical Support Plans |
The Company sells its technical support plan either as a package with its sale of software products or separately on its own. Each technical support plan has a unified effective period of one year. Revenue is recognized in a period of time throughout the effective period for the technical support plan, generally is recognized over a six- month period.
(3) | Software Customization Services |
The Company delivers its software customization services by developing customized features on the software products to suit customers’ special needs. Upon receiving the purchase request from the customers, the Company designs, develops, tests, and implements the specified features to our software products. The Company also includes a one-year technical support plan specifically for the developed feature(s).
Customers can request and purchase the service together with a purchase of our software product, or separately if the customer has our software products in-use. Revenue is recognized at a point in time upon customers’ acceptance of the feature(s), and revenue for the technical support plan is recognized over its service term, which generally is for six months period.
In August 2021, we started the strategic transformation into becoming an integrated technology company that focuses on the development of blockchain-oriented ASIC chips, the production of advanced crypto mining equipment, and fintech software services. As a result, we generated $5.8 million of revenues in the third quarter of 2021, mainly due to trading computing servers and crypto mining machine sales.
Costs and Expenses
We primarily incur the following costs and expenses:
Costs of revenues. Our cost of revenues consists primarily of:(1) cost of product revenue, which includes direct costs of cryptocurrency mining machine, standardized computing equipment and software products; labor costs and employee benefits for software development, data testing, bug fixes and hacker prevention; research and development expenses; (2) cost of services and other revenue, which reflects direct costs associated with providing services, including data center and support costs related to delivering online services.
Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation expense for our corporate staff and personnel supporting our corporate staff, marketing costs, office supplies, welfare expenses, training expenses, professional fees (including consulting, audit and legal fees), travel and business hospitality expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses also include depreciation and amortization expenses. We record property and equipment at cost and calculate depreciation using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of our assets, which generally range from three to five years.
Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses consist primarily of compensation expense for our staff in research and development teams, including the salaries, payroll taxes, employee benefit costs and facilities support costs related to our research and development.
Bad debt expenses. Based on our periodic review of accounts receivable balances, we adjusted the allowance for doubtful accounts after considering management’s evaluation of the collectability of individual receivable balances, including the analysis of subsequent collections, the customers’ collection history, the write off of uncollectible receivables against the existing reserve, and recent economic events.
Recent Developments
With two recent executive hires, Mr. Bo Zhu as Chief Strategy Officer (“CSO”), and Mr. Li Chenjun as Co-Chief Executive Officer (“Co-CEO”), on June 2021, and July 2021 respectively, the Company decided to enter into new business lines: ASIC chip research and development and crypto mining equipment manufacturing and sales.
The newly appointed executives, Co-CEO Mr. Chenjun Li and CSO Mr. Bo Zhu, each has significant experience and industry resources in chip designs and blockchain applications. As one of the pioneers in the ASIC chip design area, Mr. Chenjun Li has extensive experience in the chip production supply chain. In 2013, the Co-CEO, Mr. Chenjun Li, designed the first-generation ASIC applicable to Bitcoin computing and successfully completed the mass production of 16nm and 10nm ASIC chips at TMSC and Samsung in 2015 and 2017, respectively. The CSO, Mr. Bo Zhu. has a significant understanding of the blockchain technology application, as well as a well-known reputation and extensive network within the industry due to the extended time spent in high-performance computing research in the past years.
In August 2021, the Company announced the launch of its first ASIC crypto Miner - KOI MINER C16 (“C16”). C16 is equipped with the C3012 chip made by Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp.’s N+1 process. C16 has a hash rate up to 113 TH/s and a power efficiency ratio of 30 J/T, supporting the mining of Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash and other cryptocurrencies.
With increased institutional investment and attention to blockchain and cryptocurrencies, many large listed crypto mining companies in the United States and Canada have demonstrated a huge demand for high-end Bitcoin miners, and we expect that our C16 miners have the opportunity to secure a considerable amount of orders in this trend. C16 is expected to launch sales in the United States, Canada and Europe.

In order to achieve our mission as stated in the new growth strategy announced in August 2021: to become one of the key participants and contributors in the global blockchain ecosystem, we incorporated a wholly owned limited liability subsidiary, Nanjing Lucun Semiconductor Co. Ltd., in China on June 17, 2021. We also established two wholly owned subsidiaries, AGM Defi Lab Pte Limited in Singapore and AGM Defi Tech Limited in Hong Kong on July 30, 2021 and August 8, 2021, respectively, for providing software development and consulting services in Asian areas. We plan to establish office and research center in Hongkong and Singapore as those regions have cleared regulatory framework towards crypto assets and blockchain technology and hire more senior professional.
In September 2021, AGM Technology entered into a strategic partnership agreement with HighSharp (Shenzhen Gaorui) Electronic Technology Co., Ltd (“HighSharp”), a fabless integrated circuit designer that provides advanced semiconductor solutions for supercomputing hardware, pursuant to which, for a six-month period until March 25, 2022, HighSharp will provide the latest ASIC chip technology and manufacturing services to the Company and the Company will be responsible for client development on a global basis, with a target to generate orders in a total amount of US$100 million during the six-month term until March 25, 2022. If the Company and HighSharp achieve their respective targets, the Company and HighSharp plan to form a joint venture, joined by HighSharp’s key R&D team members, with the goal to integrate next generation product research and development into fabless integrated circuit design capabilities that provides advanced semiconductor solutions for supercomputing hardware. The Company will own 60% equity and HighSharp will own 40% equity in the joint venture. See “Risk Factors - We are exposed to the uncertainty with respect to China’s crackdown on cryptocurrency-related business.”
In September 2021, since the employment agreement between the Company and Mr. Bin Cao, then Chairman of the Company, expired, the Board terminated the employment with Mr. Bin Cao and removed him from all position in the Company. The Board approved the appointment of Mr. Chenjun Li, Co-CEO of the Company, as director and Chairman of the Board, effective September 15, 2021, until the next annual shareholder meeting or until his earlier death, resignation or removal.
In September 2021, the Company appointed Mr. Steven Yuan Ning Sim as the Chief Financial Officer after the resignation of the former Chief Financial Officer, Zhihe Yang. Mr. Sim has over 15 years of audit and financial management experience and is a member of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA). The appointment is for a term of one year or until his earlier death, resignation or removal.
In October 2021, AGM Tianjin terminated the Equity Transfer Agreement and Supplement Agreement with all the shareholders of Yushu Kingo City Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. (“Yushu Kingo”). Also in October 2021, AGM Tianjin entered into an agreement on transfer of creditor rights (the “Transfer Agreement”) with a non-affiliated third party (the “Buyer”). Pursuant to the Transfer Agreement, AGM Tianjin agrees to sell to the Buyer all of its rights and obligations under the Equity Transfer Agreement and the Supplement Agreement, namely, the right to receive the Advance Payment plus interest, for a total purchase price of $5,000,000 (the “Purchase Price”), $2,500,000 of which will be payable on or before December 31, 2021 and the remaining $2,500,000 will be payable on or before June 30, 2022. The Buyer agrees, in the event it fails to pay the Purchase Price on time, to pay as damages for breach of contract an amount equal to four times China’s loan prime rate (LPR) of the Purchase Price due.
In October 2021, AGM Technology received a purchase order from Nowlit Solutions Corp, a leading digital currency equipment supply chain services and consultancy company in North America with strong relationship and resource within the Fintech and Blockchain ecosystems having supplied leading global players including Lake Parime USA Inc. and StrongHold Digital Mining. Pursuant to the terms of the purchase order, the Company agreed to deliver 30,000 units of 100 TH/S ASIC crypto miners with an aggregate operating hash power of 3000 PH/S to Nowlit Solutions within the first quarter of 2022.
In October 2021, AGM Technology agreed to supply MinerVa Semiconductor Corp. (“MinerVa”) with 25,000 units of its 100 TH/S MinerVa MV7 ASIC to build the MinerVa family of crypto miners. MinerVa is a premier high-performance ASIC design and manufacturing company and is the distributor of industrial grade crypto miners to leading global large-scale mining companies. As of October 29, 2021, the Company has received deposit for the crypto miners of $20 million.
In October 2021, AGM Technology entered into a strategic partnership with Meten Holding Group Ltd. (“Meten”) (NASDAQ: METX) to focus on research and development support for blockchain applications and establishing a cryptocurrency mining supply chain. The agreement includes an initial order from Meten for 1,500 Bitcoin mining machines worth US$12 million.
In November 2021, AGM Technology entered into a sales agreement with Code Chain New Continent Limited (“CCNC”), a vertically integrated cryptocurrency miner, for cryptocurrency mining machines. Pursuant to the sales agreement, the Company agreed to deliver 10,000 units of 100 TH/S KOI mining machines worth US$65 million in the second half of 2022. This agreement also provides CCNC with an option to purchase 10,000 additional mining machines.
In November 2021, we began exploring strategic opportunities to set up our North American manufacturing operations in the United States or Canada to strengthen its leadership position in the Bitcoin mining sector.
Corporate Governance
As a “foreign private issuer,” as defined by the SEC, we are permitted to follow home country corporate governance practices, instead of certain corporate governance practices required by Nasdaq for domestic issuers, with certain exceptions. While we voluntarily follow most Nasdaq corporate governance rules, we have elected to follow British Virgin Islands law instead of the Nasdaq Rule 5635(d), which requires shareholder approval in order to enter into any transaction, other than a public offering, involving the sale, issuance or potential issuance by the Company of ordinary shares (or securities convertible into or exercisable for ordinary shares) equal to 20% or more of the outstanding share capital of the Company or 20% or more of the voting power outstanding before the issuance for less than the greater of book or market value of the ordinary shares. We will follow British Virgin Islands law with respect to any requirement to obtain shareholder approval in connection with any private placements of equity securities.

Revenues
Our total revenues increased by $5.3 million, from $31,261 in the three months ended September 30, 2020 to $5.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was primarily due to the sales revenues from cryptocurrency mining machine and standardized computing equipment sales since 2021. All of our total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2020 generated from third parties and no revenues incurred from related party.
Cost of Revenues and Gross Margin
Cost of revenues increased by $4.6 million, from $10,123 in the three months ended September 30, 2020 to $4.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was primarily due to the increase in procurement costs of cryptocurrency mining machines and standardized computing equipment in the three months ended September 30, 2021.

Selling, General and Administrative expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of sales and administrative employee-related expenses, professional fees, travel costs, research and development costs, and other corporate expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $55,332 or 20%, as compared to the same period in 2020. The increase was primarily due to expenses related to an establishment of a new wholly foreign-owned enterprise.
Research and Development Expenses
We incurred $10,304 and $16,007 in research and development in the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Research and development expenses decreased by $5,703, or 36%, for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in FinTech R&D. We have not invested in cryptocurrency mining machine R&D until September 30, 2021.
Income/(Loss) from operations
As a result of the factors described above, operating income was $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to operating loss $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, an increase in operating income of $0.7 million.
Other income/(expenses)
For the three months ended September 30, 2021, other expenses, net of other income, were $15,005, compared to other expenses $5,324 for the three months ended September 30, 2020, with a change of $9,681. The increase of other expenses was primarily attributable to foreign exchange loss.
Income/(Loss) from continuing operations
As a result of the foregoing, our income from continuing operations was $0.2 million, or $0.01 income per share (basic and diluted), for the three months ended September 30, 2021, as compared with loss from continuing operations of $0.3 million, or $0.01 loss per share (basic and diluted), for the three months ended September 30, 2020.
Loss from discontinued operation, net of income taxes
Our loss from discontinued operations was nil for the three months ended September 30, 2021, as compared with $45,690 loss from discontinued operations for the three months ended September 30, 2020.

We reclassified the disposition of Anyi Network, Inc. and its subsidiaries, which was completed in December 2020, as discontinued operation and recorded a loss of $45,690 from discontinued operation in the three months ended September 30, 2020.
Net Income/loss
As a result of the factors described above, our net income for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was $0.2 million, compared to net loss of $0.3 million for the three months ended September, 2020, an increase in net income of $0.5 million.
Foreign currency translation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollar (“$”), which is the reporting currency of the Company. The functional currency of AGM Group Holdings, Inc., AGM Technology Limited, AGM Defi Tech Ltd., our subsidiaries established pursuant to the laws of Hong Kong, AGM DEFI LAB PTE. Ltd., our subsidiary established pursuant to the laws of Singapore, and AGM Software Services Ltd, our subsidiary established pursuant to the laws of the British Virgin Islands are United States dollar. The functional currency of AGM Tianjin Construction Development Co, Ltd., Beijing AnGaoMeng Technology Service Co., Ltd., Nanjing Lucun Semiconductor Co. Ltd., our indirect subsidiaries established pursuant to the laws of China, are Renminbi (“RMB”). For the subsidiaries whose functional currencies are RMB, results of operations and cash flows are translated at average exchange rates during the period, assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate at the end of the period, and equity is translated at historical exchange rates.
The Consolidated Balance Sheets balances, with the exception of equity at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, were translated at RMB6.4854 and RMB6.5378 to $1.00, respectively. The equity accounts were stated at their historical rate. The average translation rates applied to the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income and the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were RMB6.4714 and RMB6.9917 to $1.00, respectively.
Net gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange translations are included in the Comprehensive income on the consolidated statements of operations. As a result of foreign currency translations, which are a non-cash adjustment, the Company reported a foreign currency translation income of $5,540 for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The Company reported a foreign currency translation loss of $134,319 for the three months ended September 30, 2020. This non-cash income/loss had the effect of decreasing/increasing our reported comprehensive income or loss.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity
Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had working capital of $3.2 million and $3.7 million, including cash and cash equivalents of $1.4 million and $0.7 million, respectively. As a result, we believe that our current cash and cash to be generated from our operations will be sufficient to meet our working capital needs for at least the next twelve months. We are not dependent upon the access to borrow loans from our related parties. We plan to expand our business to implement our growth strategies to broaden our service and strengthen our position in the marketplace.

Operating Activities:
Net cash used in operating activities of continuing operations was $2.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, primarily due to a net loss of $0.3 million adjusted by non-cash working capital. The adjustments for changes in assets and liabilities primarily included (i) advance to suppliers of $14.2 million, (ii) inventories of $4.1 million, and (iii) advanced from customers of $17.6 million.
7
Net cash used in operating activities of continuing operations was $0.7 million (total of $0.9 million including discontinued operations of $0.3 million), for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, primarily due to a net loss from continuing operations of $0.8 million and adjusted by non-cash working capital. The adjustments for changes in assets and liabilities primarily included prepayments and other current assets of $95,047, and depreciation and amortization expenses of $25,035.
Investing Activities:
No cash spent in investing activities of continuing operations and discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
Net cash used in investing activities of continuing operations was $821 for the purchase of office equipment in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. No cash spent in investing activities of discontinued operations for the six months ended September 30, 2020.
Financing Activities:
Net cash provided by financing activities of continuing operations was $3.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. It was attributable to proceeds from short-term borrowings of $2.5 million, and borrowings from related parties of $0.5 million, offset by repayment to related parties. No cash spent in financing activities of discontinuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
Net cash provided by financing activities of continuing operations was $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Net cash used in financing activities of discontinued operations was $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
We expect to incur additional costs associated with becoming a public company in the United States, primarily due to increased expenses related to accounting and tax services, legal expenses and investor and stockholder-related expenses. These additional long-term expenses may require us to seek other sources of financing, such as additional borrowings or public or private equity or debt capital. The availability of these other sources of financing will depend upon our financial condition and results of operations as well as prevailing market conditions and may not be available on terms reasonably acceptable to us or at all.

Critical Accounting Policies
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our audited consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these audited consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis, including those related to revenue recognition and income taxes. We base our estimates on our historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making the judgments we make about the carrying values of our assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Because these estimates can vary depending on the situation, actual results may differ from the estimates.
10
The critical accounting policies summarized in this section are discussed in further detail in the notes to the audited consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this annual report. Management believes that the application of these policies on a consistent basis enables us to provide useful and reliable financial information about our operating results and financial condition.
Revenue Recognition
We adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) for all years presented. The core principle of this new revenue standard is that a company should recognize revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The following five steps are applied to achieve that core principle by us in determination of revenue recognition:
● | Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with the customer; | |
● | Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract; | |
● | Step 3: Determine the transaction price; | |
● | Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and | |
● | Step 5: Recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation. |
We are a mining machine and software developer, engaging in research, development and sales of cryptocurrency mining machine and standardized computing equipment and enterprise application software, including, accounting software and ERP software, and the software-related after sales services.
The transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation on a relative standalone selling price basis. The transaction price allocated to each performance obligation is recognized when that performance obligation is satisfied, at a point in time or over time as appropriate.
We derive revenue from the sale of the following four items: (1) cryptocurrency mining machine and standardized computing equipment, (2) packaged software products, (3) technical support plans, (4) software customization services, and bundle of products or services that may include a combination of these items. We enter into contracts with customers that include promises to transfer various products and services, which are generally capable of being distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations. Revenue is recognized when the promised goods or services are transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration allocated to the respective performance obligation. We record and recognize revenues from both products and services in one account, which is presented as revenues and revenues from related parties in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, We derive revenue from the sale of the following four items:
(1) |
Sales of Cryptocurrency Mining Machine and Standardized Computing Equipment |
We recognize the product revenues on a gross basis as we are responsible for fulfill the promise to provide specified goods. Revenue is recognized at a point in time upon the acceptance from customers.
(2) | Retail Software Products |
Our packaged software products consist of accounting software, fintech software, trading education software and other online-based management products. Each packaged software product includes a perpetual software license and a one-year technical support plan. Revenue is recognized at a point in time upon the delivery of the perpetual license, and in a period of time throughout the effective period for the technical support plan, which generally is recognized over twelve months period. However, we did not record this revenue stream on total revenue for nine months ended September 30, 2021 since we discontinued business related to these products. We are continuing to develop retail software products for different industries.
11
(3) | Technical Support Plans |
We sell technical support plan either as a package with the sale of software products or separately on its own. Each technical support plan has a unified effective period of one year. Revenue is recognized in a period of time throughout the effective period for the technical support plan, generally is recognized over twelve months period.
(4) | Software Customization Services |
We deliver its software customization services by developing customized features on software products to suit customers’ special needs. Upon receiving the purchase request from the customers, we design, develop, test, and implement the specified features to software products. We also include a one-year technical support plan specifically for the developed feature(s).
Customers are able to request and purchase the service together with a purchase of software product, or separately if the customer has software products of our in-use. Revenue is recognized at a point in time upon customers’ acceptance of the feature(s), and revenue for the technical support plan is recognized over its service term, which generally is for twelve months period.
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities on the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions and information that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Estimates and assumptions of future events and their effects cannot be perceived with certainty and, accordingly, these estimates may change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information is obtained and as our operating environment changes. Significant estimates and assumptions by management include, among others, useful lives and impairment of long-lived assets, allowance for doubtful accounts, income taxes including the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. While we believe that the estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the financial statements are appropriate, actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates and assumptions are periodically reviewed and the effects of revisions are reflected in the financial statements in the period they are determined to be necessary.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
We follow the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”). It clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date.
Level 2-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3-Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available information.
12
The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, short-term borrowings, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other payables, due to related parties and income tax payable approximate their fair value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses”, which will require the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Subsequently, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, to clarify that receivables arising from operating leases are within the scope of lease accounting standards. Further, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-04, ASU 2019-05, ASU 2019-10, ASU 2019-11 and ASU 2020-02 to provide additional guidance on the credit losses standard. The ASU is effective for public company for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. For all other entities including emerging growth companies, the ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. Early application is permitted for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. We have adopted ASU 2016-13 since January 1, 2021, the impact of which on our consolidated financial statements was immaterial.
Recently issued ASUs by the FASB, except for the ones mentioned above, are not expected to have a significant impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial position. Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption. We do not discuss recent pronouncements that are not anticipated to have an impact on or are unrelated to its consolidated financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, or disclosures.

Note 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules. The Company included all adjustments that are necessary for the fair presentation of its financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. This basis of accounting differs in certain material respects from that used for the preparation of the books of account of the Company, which are prepared in accordance with the accounting principles and the relevant financial regulations applicable to enterprises with limited liabilities established in China (“China GAAP”), the accounting standards used in the places of their domicile. The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect necessary adjustments not recorded in the books of account of the Company to present them in conformity with U.S. GAAP.
These unaudited consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes for the year ended December 31, 2020 included in the Form 20-F as filed with the SEC. The results of operations and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations or cash flows which may be reported for future periods or the full fiscal year.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts for AGM Holdings and all its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Foreign Currency Translation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollar (“$”), which is the reporting currency of the Company. For the subsidiaries whose functional currencies are Renminbi (“RMB”), results of operations and cash flows are translated at average exchange rates during the period, assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate at the end of the period, and equity is translated at historical exchange rates. The resulting translation adjustments are included in determining other comprehensive income or loss. Transaction gains and losses are reflected in the consolidated statements of income.
The consolidated balance sheet balances, with the exception of equity at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were translated at RMB6.4854 and RMB6.5378 to $1.00, respectively. The equity accounts were stated at their historical rate. The average translation rates applied to consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were RMB6.4714 and RMB7.0312 to $1.00, respectively.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities on the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. The Company bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions and information that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Estimates and assumptions of future events and their effects cannot be perceived with certainty and, accordingly, these estimates may change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information is obtained and as the Company’s operating environment changes. Significant estimates and assumptions by management include, among others, useful lives and impairment of long-lived assets, allowance for doubtful accounts, and income taxes including the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. While the Company believes that the estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the financial statements are appropriate, actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates and assumptions are periodically reviewed and the effects of revisions are reflected in the financial statements in the period they are determined to be necessary.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are financial assets that are either cash or highly liquid investments with an original maturity term of 90 days or less. At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company’s cash equivalents primarily consist cash in various financial institutions.
7
Inventories
Inventories, primarily consisting of cryptocurrency mining machine and standardized computing equipment, which are finished goods from manufactures. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with net realized value represented by estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of disposal and transportation. Cost of inventory is determined using the cost method. Adjustments are recorded to write down the cost of inventory to the estimated net realizable value due to slow-moving merchandise and damaged products, which is dependent upon factors such as historical and forecasted consumer demand. No inventory write-down was recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.
Advance to suppliers
Advance to suppliers primarily consists of the prepayments to cryptocurrency mining machine and standardized computing equipment. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts to state prepayments at their estimated realizable value based on a variety of factors, including the possibility of releasing the prepayments into products, significant one-time events, and historical experience.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company follows the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”). It clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date.
Level 2-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3-Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available information.
The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, short-term borrowings, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other payables, due to related parties and income tax payable approximate their fair value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts receivable consists principally of amounts due from trade customers. Credit is extended based on an evaluation of the customer’s financial condition and collateral is not generally required.
The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses from the receivable amount that cannot be collected. The Company reviews the accounts receivable on a periodic basis and makes general and specific allowances when there is doubt as to the collectability of individual balances. In evaluating the collectability of individual receivable balances, the Company considers many factors, including the age of the balance, a customer’s historical payment history, its current credit-worthiness and current economic trends. In determining these estimates, the Company examines historical write-offs of its receivables and reviews each client’s account to identify any specific customer collection issues.
Management believes that the accounts receivable are fully collectable. Therefore, no allowance for doubtful accounts is deemed to be required on its accounts receivable at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The Company historically has not experienced uncollectible accounts from customers granted with credit sales.
8
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Cost represents the purchase price of the asset and other costs incurred to bring the asset into its existing use. Identifiable significant improvements are capitalized and expenditures for maintenance, repairs, and betterments, including replacement of minor items, are charged to expense.
Depreciation is computed based on cost, less the estimated residual value, if any, using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life. The residual value rate and useful life of property and equipment are summarized as follows:
Property and Equipment |
Residual
value rate |
Useful
life |
||||
Electronic equipment | 5 | % | 3 years | |||
Office equipment | 5 | % | 5 years |
Other Intangible Assets
Intangible assets with definite useful lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values. Intangible assets mainly represent the domain name at cost, less accumulated amortization on a straight-line basis over an estimated life of ten years.

Lease Commitments
On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (ASU 2016-02), as amended, which supersedes the lease accounting guidance under Topic 840, and generally requires lessees to recognize operating and financing lease liabilities and corresponding right-of-use (ROU) assets on the balance sheet and to provide enhanced disclosures surrounding the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leasing arrangements.
The Company determined if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and short and long-term lease liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included in property and equipment, other current liabilities, and other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.
As of adoption of ASC 842 and as of January 1, 2019, the adoption did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements as the Company did not commitment any lease that are over twelve months at time of adoption.

Revenue Recognition
The Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) for all years presented. The core principle of this new revenue standard is that a company should recognize revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The following five steps are applied to achieve that core principle by the Company in its determination of revenue recognition:
● | Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with the customer; | |
● | Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract; | |
● | Step 3: Determine the transaction price; | |
● | Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and | |
● | Step 5: Recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation. |
The Company is a server and software developer, engaging in research, development and sale of server and enterprise application software, including ASIC miner, accounting software and ERP software, and the software-related after sales services.
The transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation on a relative standalone selling price basis. The transaction price allocated to each performance obligation is recognized when that performance obligation is satisfied, at a point in time or over time as appropriate.
The Company derives revenue from the sales of the following four items: (1) cryptocurrency mining machine and standardized computing equipment, (2) packaged software products, (3) technical support plans, (4) software customization services, and bundle of products or services that may include a combination of these items. The Company enters into contracts with customers that include promises to transfer various products and services, which are generally capable of being distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations. Revenue is recognized when the promised goods or services are transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration allocated to the respective performance obligation. The Company records and recognizes revenues from both products and services in one account, which is presented as revenues and revenues from related parties in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company derives revenue from the sale of the following four items:
(1) | Sales of Cryptocurrency Mining Machine and Standardized Computing Equipment |
The Company recognizes the product revenues on a gross basis as the Company is responsible for fulfill the promise to provide specified goods. Revenue is recognized at a point in time upon the acceptance from customers.
(2) | Retail Software Products |
The Company’s packaged software products consist of accounting software, fintech software, trading education software and other online-based management products. Each packaged software product includes a perpetual software license and a one-year technical support plan. Revenue is recognized at a point in time upon the delivery of the perpetual license, and in a period of time throughout the effective period for the technical support plan, which generally is recognized over twelve months period. However, the Company did not record this revenue stream on total revenue for nine months ended September 30, 2021 since the Company discontinued business related to these products. The Company is continuing to develop retail software products for different industries.
10
(3) | Technical Support Plans |
The Company sells technical support plan either as a package with the sale of software products or separately on its own. Each technical support plan has a unified effective period of one year. Revenue is recognized in a period of time throughout the effective period for the technical support plan, generally is recognized over twelve months period.
(4) | Software Customization Services |
The Company delivers its software customization services by developing customized features on software products to suit customers’ special needs. Upon receiving the purchase request from the customers, the Company designs, develops, tests, and implements the specified features to software products. The Company also includes a one-year technical support plan specifically for the developed feature(s).
Customers are able to request and purchase the service together with a purchase of software product, or separately if the customer has software products of the Company in-use. Revenue is recognized at a point in time upon customers’ acceptance of the feature(s), and revenue for the technical support plan is recognized over its service term, which generally is for twelve months period.
Contract liability
The contract liabilities consist of advance from customers, which relates to unsatisfied performance obligation at the end of each reporting period and consists of cash payment received in advance from customers in sales of server products. As of September 30, 2021 and December 30, 2020, the Company’s advance from customers amount to $17,560,514 and nil, respectively.
The Company reports revenues net of applicable sales taxes and related surcharges.
Costs of Revenues
Cost of revenues primarily consist of: (1) cost of product revenue, which includes direct costs of cryptocurrency mining machine, standardized computing equipment and software products; labor costs and employee benefits for software development, data testing, bug fixes and hacker prevention; research and development expenses; (2) cost of services and other revenue, which reflects direct costs associated with providing services, including data center and support costs related to delivering online services.
Operating Leases
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease upon inception. A contract is or contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The right to control the use of an asset includes the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits of the underlying asset and the right to direct how and for what purpose the asset is used. Upon adoption of ASU 2016-02 and related standards, operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The discount rate used to calculate present value is the Company’s incremental borrowing rate or, if available, the rate implicit in the lease. The Company includes options to renew the lease as part of the right of use lease asset and liability when it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise the option. The Company also takes into considerations when certain lease contains fair value purchase and termination options with an associated penalty.
The Company reviews all leases for capital or operating classification at their inception. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate in the assessment of lease classification and define the initial lease term to include the construction build-out period but to exclude lease extension periods. The Company conducts its operations primarily under operating leases as of adoption of ASC 842 and as of January 1, 2019, the adoption did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements as the Company did not commitment any lease that are over twelve months at time of adoption.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. The costs primarily consist of the wage expenses incurred to continuously improve and upgrade the Company’s services. Research and development expenses of the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were $32,809 and $47,355, respectively.
11
Income Taxes
The Company is governed by the Income Tax Law of China, Inland Revenue Ordinance of Hong Kong and the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset/liability method prescribed by ASC 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be in effect in the period in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to offset deferred tax assets if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized as income or loss in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Act has caused the Company’s deferred income taxes to be revalued. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through income tax expense. Pursuant to the guidance within SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”), as of December 31, 2017, the Company recognized the provisional effects of the enactment of the Act for which measurement could be reasonably estimated. Since the Company has provided a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets, the revaluation of the deferred tax assets did not have a material impact on any period presented. The ultimate impact of the Act may differ from these estimates due to the Company’s continued analysis or further regulatory guidance that may be issued as a result of the Act.
The Company applied the provisions of ASC 740-10-50, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” which provides clarification related to the process associated with accounting for uncertain tax positions recognized in the Company’s financial statements. Audit periods remain open for review until the statute of limitations has passed. The completion of review or the expiration of the statute of limitations for a given audit period could result in an adjustment to the Company’s liability for income taxes. Any such adjustment could be material to the Company’s results of operations for any given quarterly or annual period based, in part, upon the results of operations for the given period. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had uncertain tax positions accrued, and will continue to evaluate for uncertain positions in the future.
Value Added Tax
The amount of VAT liability is determined by applying the applicable tax rate to the invoiced amount of software service provided. The Company reports revenue net of China’s VAT for all the periods presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Comprehensive Income
ASC 220 “Comprehensive Income” established standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. Components of comprehensive income include net income and foreign currency translation adjustments. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the only component of accumulated other comprehensive income was foreign currency translation adjustments.
Related Party Transactions
A related party is generally defined as (i) any person and or their immediate family hold 10% or more of the Company’s securities (ii) the Company’s management, (iii) someone that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the Company, or (iv) anyone who can significantly influence the financial and operating decisions of the Company. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties. The Company conducts business with its related parties in the ordinary course of business. Related parties may be individuals or corporate entities.
Transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm’s-length basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, free market dealings may not exist. Representations about transactions with related parties, if made, shall not imply that the related party transactions were consummated on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm’s-length transactions unless such representations can be substantiated. It is not, however, practical to determine the fair value of amounts due from/to related parties due to their related party nature.
12
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk are cash and cash equivalents, transaction monetary assets held for clients, mark to market assets for open trading positions, and accounts receivable arising from its normal business activities. The Company places its cash in what it believes to be credit-worthy financial institutions or trading platforms. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of the customer and, based upon factors surrounding the credit risk, establishes an allowance, if required, for uncollectible accounts and, as a consequence, believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure beyond such allowance is limited.
Reclassification
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on the net earnings and financial position.
Earnings per Ordinary Share
Basic earnings per ordinary share is computed by dividing net earnings attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to ordinary shareholders by the sum of the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding and dilutive potential ordinary shares during the period.
Segment Reporting
The Company uses the “management approach” in determining reportable operating segments. The management approach considers the internal organization and reporting used by the Company’s chief operating decision maker for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the source for determining the Company’s reportable segments. The Company’s chief operating decision maker has been identified as the chief executive officer of the Company who reviews financial information of separate operating segments based on U.S. GAAP. The chief operating decision maker now reviews results analyzed by customer. This analysis is only presented at the revenue level with no allocation of direct or indirect costs. Consequently, the Company has determined that it has only one operating segment.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses”, which will require the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Subsequently, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, to clarify that receivables arising from operating leases are within the scope of lease accounting standards. Further, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-04, ASU 2019-05, ASU 2019-10, ASU 2019-11 and ASU 2020-02 to provide additional guidance on the credit losses standard. The ASU is effective for public company for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. For all other entities including emerging growth companies, the ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. Early application is permitted for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company has adopted ASU 2016-13 since January 1, 2021, the impact of which on the Company’s consolidated financial statements was immaterial.
Recently issued ASUs by the FASB, except for the ones mentioned above, are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position. Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption. The Company does not discuss recent pronouncements that are not anticipated to have an impact on or are unrelated to its consolidated financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, or disclosures.

Note 3 - GOING CONCERN
The Company has incurred losses since its inception. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $5,300,800. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded net cash used in operating activities of $2,631,984. As of September 30, 2021, the Company has working capital of $3,230,599. Besides, the Company entered into several significant sales orders with customers (see Note 15), which would generate sufficient cash flow to meet its operating needs and repayment for short-term debt. Therefore, the management assesses that current working capital, together with the future sales orders, will be sufficient to meet its obligations for the next 12 months from the issuance date of this report. The financial statements are prepared on going concern basis.
Note 4 - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS AND DISPOSITION
