The option price is equal to the capital paid in by Peng Fang subject to any appraisal or restrictions required by applicable PRC laws and regulations.

Under the Exclusive Option Agreement between three shareholders of 39Pu and Shanghai MYT, the three shareholders irrevocably granted Shanghai MYT (or its designee) an exclusive option to purchase, to the extent permitted under PRC law, once or at multiple times, at any time, part or all of their equity interests in 39Pu. The option price is equal to the capital paid in by the three shareholders subject to any appraisal or restrictions required by applicable PRC laws and regulations.

The agreement remains effective for a term of ten years and may be renewed at Shanghai MYT's election.

*<u>Share Pledge Agreement</u>*

Under the Share Pledge Agreement, Peng Fang and the three shareholders of 39Pu each pledged all of their equity interests in Hunan MYT and 39Pu to Shanghai MYT to guarantee the performance of Hunan MYT's and 39Pu's obligations under the Exclusive Business Cooperation Agreement. Under the terms of the agreement, in any event of default, as set forth in the Share Pledge Agreement, including that Hunan MYT or Peng Fang, 39Pu or the three shareholders breach their respective contractual obligations under the Exclusive Business Cooperation Agreement, Shanghai MYT, as pledgee, will be entitled to certain rights, including, but not limited to, the right to dispose of the pledged equity interest in accordance with applicable PRC laws. Shanghai MYT shall have the right to collect any and all dividends declared or generated in connection with the equity interest during the term of pledge.

The Share Pledge Agreement shall be effective until all payments due under the Exclusive Business Cooperation Agreement have been paid by Hunan MYT and 39Pu, respectively.

**2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)**

 

***(b) Consolidation of Variable Interest Entity (continued)***

 

*<u>Power of Attorney</u>*

Under the Power of Attorney, Peng Fang and the three shareholders of 39Pu each authorized Shanghai MYT to act on her behalf as her exclusive agent and attorney with respect to all rights as shareholder, including but not limited to: (a) attending shareholders' meetings; (b) exercising all the shareholder's rights, including voting, that shareholders are entitled to under the laws of China and the Articles of Association of Hunan MYT and 39Pu, including but not limited to the sale or transfer or pledge or disposition of shares in part or in whole; and (c) designating and appointing on behalf of shareholders the legal representative, the executive director, supervisor, the chief executive officer and other senior management members of Hunan MYT and 39Pu.

Although it is not explicitly stipulated in the Power of Attorney, the term of the Power of Attorney shall be the same as the term of that of the Exclusive Option Agreement.

This Power of Attorney is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable and continuously valid from the date of execution of this Power of Attorney, so long as Peng Fang is a shareholder of Company.

The VIE Agreements became effective immediately upon their execution.

Material terms of the BTB VIE Agreements among Qingdao Ether Continent Digital Technology Co., Ltd. ("BTB Qingdao"), Hunan Bit Brother Holding Limited ("BTB Hunan"), Hunan Bit Brothers Digital Technology Co., Ltd ("BTB Hunan Digital") and their shareholders are identical to those of Hunan MYT VIE Agreements.

VIE is an entity that have either a total equity investment that is insufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, or whose equity investors lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest, such as through voting rights, right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity or obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity. The variable interest holder, if any, that has a controlling financial interest in a VIE is deemed to be the primary beneficiary and must consolidate the VIE. Shanghai MYT is deemed to have a controlling financial interest and be the primary beneficiary of Hunan MYT and 39Pu, because it has both of the following characteristics:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. power to direct activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE or right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

Pursuant to the VIE Agreements, Hunan MYT and 39Pu pay service fees equal to 100% and 51% of its net income to Shanghai MYT, respectively. At the same time, Shanghai MYT is entitled to receive 100% and 51% of expected residual returns from Hunan MYT and 39Pu, respectively. The VIE Agreements are designed so that Hunan MYT and 39Pu operate for the benefit of the Company. Accordingly, the accounts of Hunan MYT are consolidated in the accompanying financial statements pursuant to ASC 810-10, Consolidation. In addition, their financial positions and results of operations are included in the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In addition, as all of these VIE agreements are governed by PRC law and provide for the resolution of disputes through arbitration in the PRC, they would be interpreted in accordance with PRC law and any disputes would be resolved in accordance with PRC legal procedures. The legal environment in the PRC is not as developed as in other jurisdictions, such as the United States. As a result, uncertainties in the PRC legal system could further limit the Company's ability to enforce these VIE agreements. Furthermore, these contracts may not be enforceable in China if PRC government authorities or courts take a view that such contracts contravene PRC laws and regulations or are otherwise not enforceable for public policy reasons. In the event the Company is unable to enforce these VIE agreements, it may not be able to exert effective control over Hunan MYT or 39Pu and its ability to conduct its business may be materially and adversely affected.

***(c) Segment reporting***

In accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting, operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), or decision making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. 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. Management, including the chief operating decision maker, reviews operation results by the revenue of different services.

For the six months ended December 31, 2022, the Company has two operating business lines, including retail business by provision of high-quality tea beverages in its tea shop chain business conducted by Hunan MYT and planned blockchain business to be conducted by Hunan BTB. Based on management's assessment, the Company has determined that the two operating business lines are two operating segments as defined by ASC 280.

For the six months ended December 31, 2021, the Company has two operating business lines, including retail business by provision of high-quality tea beverages in its tea shop chain business conducted by Hunan MYT, dark tea distribution business by 39Pu. Based on management's assessment, the Company has determined that the two operating business lines are two operating segments as defined by ASC 280.

***(d) Trade receivables***

Trade receivables are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The Company extends unsecured credit to its customers in the ordinary course of business but mitigates the associated risks by performing credit checks and actively pursuing past due accounts. An allowance for doubtful accounts is established and recorded based on management's assessment of potential losses based on the credit history and relationships with the customers. Management reviews its receivables on a regular basis to determine if bad debt allowance is adequate, and adjusts the allowance when necessary. Delinquent account balances are written-off against allowance for doubtful accounts after management has determined that the likelihood of collection is not probable.

The Company considered the amounts of receivables in dispute and believes an allowance for these receivables were not necessary as at December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022.

***(e) Inventories***

Inventories, consisting of products available for sale, are stated at the lower of cost and market. Cost of inventories is determined using the weighted average cost method. Adjustments are recorded to write down the cost of inventories to the estimated net realizable value due to slow-moving merchandise and damaged goods, which is dependent upon factors such as historical and forecasted consumer demand, and promotional environment. The Company takes ownership, risks and rewards of the products purchased. Write downs are recorded in cost of revenues in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

***(f) Revenue recognition***

The Company adopted ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606") beginning on July 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective approach. ASC 606 establishes principles for reporting information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity's contracts to provide goods or services to customers. The core principle requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that it expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services recognized as performance obligations are satisfied.

The Company has assessed the impact of the guidance by reviewing its existing customer contracts and current accounting policies and practices to identify differences that will result from applying the new requirements, including the evaluation of its performance obligations, transaction price, customer payments, transfer of control and principal versus agent considerations. Based on the assessment, the Company concluded that there was no change to the timing and pattern of revenue recognition for its current revenue streams in scope of ASC 606 and therefore there was no material changes to the Company's consolidated financial statements upon adoption of ASC 606.

In according with ASC 606, revenues are recognized when control of the promised services is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those services.

During the six months ended December 31, 2022, the Company generated revenues primarily from sales of tea products, beverages and light meals in its tea shop chains by three companies including Hunan MYT, Store Master and CYY.

*Sales of tea products, beverages and light meals in retail shop chains by Hunan MYT*

Customers place order and pay for tea products, beverage drinks and light meals in the Company's tea shop chains. Revenues are recognized at the point of delivery to customers. Customers that purchase prepaid cards are issued additional points for free at the time of purchase. Cash received from the sales of prepaid vouchers are recognized as unearned income. Consideration collected for prepaid cards is equally allocated to each point as an element, including the points issued for free, to determine the transaction price for each point. The allocated transaction price are recognized as revenues upon the redemption of the points for purchases.

*Disaggregation of revenue -* The Company disaggregates its revenue from contracts by segments, as the Company believes it best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of the revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. The Company's disaggregation of revenues for the six months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 is as follows:

***(g) Investments in equity securities***

The investments for which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence are accounted for under the equity method. Under the equity method, original investments are recorded at cost and adjusted by the Company's share of undistributed earnings or losses of these entities, the amortization of intangible assets recognized upon purchase price allocation and dividend distributions or subsequent investments. All unrecognized inter-company profits and losses have been eliminated under the equity method. When the estimated amount to be realized from the investments falls below its carrying value, an impairment charge is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations when the decline in value is considered other than temporary.

The Company elected to record a majority of equity investments in privately held companies using the measurement alternative at cost, less impairment, with subsequent adjustments for observable price changes resulting from orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer. Equity investments in privately held companies accounted for using the measurement alternative are subject to periodic impairment reviews. The Company's impairment analysis considers both qualitative and quantitative factors that may have a significant effect on the fair value of these equity securities, including consideration of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

***(h) Recently announced accounting standards***

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, *Financial Instruments – Credit Losses* (Topic 326): *Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments*. This ASU is intended to improve financial reporting by requiring timelier recording of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments held by financial institutions and other organizations. This ASU requires 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. This ASU requires enhanced disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of the Company's portfolio. These disclosures include qualitative and quantitative requirements that provide additional information about the amounts recorded in the financial statements. Its mandatory effective dates are as follows: 1. Public business entities that meet the definition of an SEC filer for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years; 2. All other public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years; and 3. All other entities (private companies, not-for-profit organizations, and employee benefit plans) for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. On November 15, 2019, FASB issued ASU 2019-10 which provides a framework to stagger effective dates for future major accounting standards (including ASC 326 Financial instrument-credit losses) and amends the effective dates to give implementation relief to certain type of entities: 1. Public business entities that meet the definition of an SEC filer, excluding entities eligible to be Smaller Reporting Companies, or SRC, as defined by the SEC, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years; and 2. All other entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. As an "emerging growth company," or EGC, the Company has elected to take advantage of the extended transition period provided in the Securities Act Section 7(a)(2)(B) for complying with new or revised accounting standards applicable to private companies. The Company will adopt ASU 2016-13 and its related amendments effective January 1, 2023, and the Company is in the process of evaluating the potential effect on its consolidated financial statements.

The Company does not believe other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the consolidated financial position, statements of operations and cash flows.

**NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**3. RISKS**

(a) Credit risk

Assets that potentially subject the Company to significant concentration of credit risk primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents. The maximum exposure of such assets to credit risk is their carrying amount as at the balance sheet dates. As of December 31, 2022, approximately $3.42 million was deposited with a bank in the United States which was insured by the government up to $250,000. As of December 31, 2022, approximately $0.6 million was primarily deposited in financial institutions located in Mainland China, and each bank accounts is insured by the government authority with the maximum limit of RMB 500,000 (equivalent to approximately $78,700). To limit exposure to credit risk relating to deposits, the Company primarily place cash deposits with large financial institutions in China which management believes are of high credit quality.

The Company's operations are carried out in Mainland China. Accordingly, the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environments in the PRC as well as by the general state of the PRC's economy. In addition, the Company's business may be influenced by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, rates and methods of taxation, and the extraction of mining resources, among other factors.

(b) Liquidity risk

The Company is also exposed to liquidity risk which is risk that it is unable to provide sufficient capital resources and liquidity to meet its commitments and business needs. Liquidity risk is controlled by the application of financial position analysis and monitoring procedures. When necessary, the Company will turn to other financial institutions and the owners to obtain short-term funding to meet the liquidity shortage.

(c) Foreign currency risk

Substantially all of the Company's operating activities and the Company's major assets and liabilities are denominated in RMB, except for the cash deposit of approximately $3.42 million which was in U.S. dollars as of December 31, 2022, which is not freely convertible into foreign currencies. All foreign exchange transactions take place either through the Peoples' Bank of China ("PBOC") or other authorized financial institutions at exchange rates quoted by PBOC. Approval of foreign currency payments by the PBOC or other regulatory institutions requires submitting a payment application form together with suppliers' invoices and signed contracts. The value of RMB is subject to changes in central government policies and to international economic and political developments affecting supply and demand in the China Foreign Exchange Trading System market. Where there is a significant change in value of RMB, the gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements of a foreign subsidiary will be significant affected.

(c) VIE risk

It is possible that the Hunan MYT VIE Agreements and BTB VIE Agreements would not be enforceable in China if PRC government authorities or courts were to find that such contracts contravene PRC laws and regulations or are otherwise not enforceable for public policy reasons. In the event that the Company were unable to enforce these contractual arrangements, the Company would not be able to exert effective control over the VIE. Consequently, the VIE's results of operations, assets and liabilities would not be included in the Company's consolidated financial statements. If such were the case, the Company's cash flows, financial position, and operating performance would be materially adversely affected. The Company's contractual arrangements among Shanghai MYT, Hunan MYT and the Hunan MYT Shareholders and among BTB Qingdao, BTB Hunan and all of the shareholders of BTB Hunan are approved and in place. Management believes that such contracts are enforceable, and considers the possibility remote that PRC regulatory authorities with jurisdiction over the Company's operations and contractual relationships would find the contracts to be unenforceable.

The Company's operations and businesses rely on the operations and businesses of Hunan MYT and BTB Hunan, the VIEs of the Company, each of which holds certain recognized revenue-producing assets including tea beverage related raw materials, lease arrangements, and dark tea products. The VIEs also have an assembled workforce, focused primarily on promotion and marketing, whose costs are expensed as incurred. The Company's operations and businesses may be adversely impacted if the Company loses the ability to use and enjoy assets held by its VIEs.

(e) Other risk

The Company's business, financial condition and results of operations may also be negatively impacted by risks related to natural disasters, extreme weather conditions, health epidemics and other catastrophic incidents, such as the COVID-19 outbreak and spread, which could significantly disrupt the Company's operations.

**4. SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS**

As of December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022, the balance of short-term investments was comprised of investments of various financial products from Chinese banks and financial institutions, with variable return rate and with maturities between three months and one year. The Company classified these financial assets as held-to-maturity financial assets and recorded the assets at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. As of December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022, the Company did not provide OTTI on short-term investments.

**5. INVENTORIES**

Inventories are carried at the lower of cost and net realizable value, as determined using the weighted average cost method. Management compares the cost of inventories with the net realizable value and if applicable, an allowance is made for writing down the inventory to its net realizable value, if lower than cost. On an ongoing basis, inventories are reviewed for potential write-down for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventories which equals the difference between the costs of inventories and the estimated net realizable value based upon forecasts for future demand and market conditions. When inventories are written-down to the lower of cost or net realizable value, it is not marked up subsequently based on changes in underlying facts and circumstances.

As of December 31, 2022, the Company had certain obsolescent inventories and accrued inventory provision of $10,692. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had certain obsolescent inventories and accrued inventory provision of $332,338.

|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **For the Six Months Ended<br> December 31,** | **For the Six Months Ended<br> December 31,** |
|  | **2022** | **2021** |

Diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share due to the lack of dilutive items in the Company for the six months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. The number of warrants is excluded from the computation as the anti-dilutive effect.

*British Virgin Islands*

Under the current tax laws of BVI, the Company's subsidiary incorporated in the BVI is not subject to tax on income or capital gains.

*The United States of America*

 

Delta Technology Holdings USA Inc is incorporated in the State of Delaware in the U.S., and is subject to U.S. federal corporate income taxes.

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the "Tax Act") was signed into law, which has made significant changes to the Internal Revenue Code. Those changes include, but are not limited to, a U.S. corporate tax rate decrease from 35% to 21% effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, the transition of U.S international taxation from a worldwide tax system to a territorial system, and a one-time transition tax on the deemed repatriation of cumulative foreign earnings as of December 31, 2017. Accordingly, the Company reevaluated its deferred tax assets on net operating loss carryforward in the U.S and concluded there was no effect on the Company's income tax expenses as the Company has no deferred tax assets generated since inception.

As of June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company's federal net operating loss carryforward for U.S. income taxes was $15.25 million and $9.38 million, respectively. The federal net operating loss carryforward is available to reduce future years' taxable income through year 2037 and net operating losses generated before 2018 will not expire. Management believes that the realization of the benefit from this loss appears uncertain due to the Company's operating history.

Utilization of the Company's U.S. net operating loss carryforwards may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to the ownership change limitations set forth in Internal Revenue Code Section 382 and similar state provisions. Such an annual limitation could result in the expiration of the net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards before utilization.

*Hong Kong*

Tea Language Group Limited ("MYT HK") and BTB Limited ("BTB HK") are incorporated in Hong Kong and is subject to Hong Kong Profits Tax on the taxable income as reported in its statutory financial statements adjusted in accordance with relevant Hong Kong tax laws. The applicable tax rate for the first HKD$2 million of assessable profits is 8.25% and assessable profits above HKD$2 million will continue to be subject to the rate of 16.5% for corporations in Hong Kong, effective from the year of assessment 2018/2019. Before that, the applicable tax rate was 16.5% for corporations in Hong Kong. The Company did not make any provisions for Hong Kong profit tax as there were no assessable profits derived from or earned in Hong Kong since inception. Under Hong Kong tax laws, MYT HK and BTB HK are exempted from income tax on its foreign-derived income and there are no withholding taxes in Hong Kong on remittance of dividends.

 

*PRC*

Effective January 1, 2008, the New Taxation Law of PRC stipulates that domestic enterprises and foreign invested enterprises (the "FIEs") are subject to a uniform tax rate of 25%. Under the PRC tax law, companies are required to make quarterly estimate payments based on 25% tax rate; companies that received preferential tax rates are also required to use a 25% tax rate for their installment tax payments. The overpayment, however, will not be refunded and can only be used to offset future tax liabilities.

The Company evaluates the level of authority for each uncertain tax position (including the potential application of interest and penalties) based on the technical merits, and measures the unrecognized benefits associated with the tax positions. For the six months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits. Due to uncertainties surrounding future utilization, the Company estimates there will not be sufficient future income to realize the deferred tax assets. As of December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of $20.99 million and $26.65 million , respectively, and maintains a full valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets.

For the six months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company incurred current income tax expenses of $nil and $187. The Company did not have any deferred tax expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.

The Company accounts for uncertainty in income taxes using a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement. Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions are recognized and recorded as necessary in the provision for income taxes. The Company is subject to income taxes in the PRC. According to the PRC Tax Administration and Collection Law, the statute of limitations is three years if the underpayment of taxes is due to computational errors made by the taxpayer or the withholding agent. The statute of limitations is extended to five years under special circumstances, where the underpayment of taxes is more than RMB 100,000. In the case of transfer pricing issues, the statute of limitation is ten years. There is no statute of limitation in the case of tax evasion. There were no uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022, and the Company does not believe that its unrecognized tax benefits will change over the next twelve months.

For the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we did not incur current income tax expenses or deferred income tax expenses because we and our subsidiaries and VIEs were subject to operating losses during the relevant periods.
