ABOUT THIS QUARTERLY REPORT
In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Quarterly Report”), unless otherwise specified, the terms “we,” “our,” “us,” our “Company,” the “Company,” or the “Registrant” refer to Yubo International Biotech Limited, a U.S. holding company and a New York corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries, including Platinum International Biotech Co., Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands (“Platinum”), Platinum International Biotech (Hong Kong) Limited, a company organized under the laws of Hong Kong and a wholly owned subsidiary of Platinum (“Platinum HK”), Yubo International Biotech (Chengdu) Limited, a company organized under the laws of the People’s Republic of China and a wholly owned subsidiary of Platinum HK (“Yubo Chengdu” or the “WFOE”), and Yubo Global Biotechnology (Chengdu) Co., Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“Yubo Global”). We are a U.S. holding company primarily operating through our wholly owned subsidiary, Platinum. Platinum is not a Chinese operating company but a Cayman Islands holding company, which in turn operates in China through its subsidiaries and contractual arrangements with a variable interest entity (“VIE”), Yubo International Biotech (Beijing) Limited, a company organized under the laws of the People’s Republic of China and, through contractual arrangements with us, the Chinese operating company. None of our Company, Platinum, or Platinum HK, each as a holding company, conducts any day-to-day business operations in China.
The term “Yubo Beijing” refers to Yubo International Biotech (Beijing) Limited, a VIE organized under the laws of the People’s Republic of China, including its wholly-owned subsidiary, Phoenix Club Bio-Medical Technology (Chengdu) Co., Ltd, a company organized under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“Yubo Phoenix”), and two other PRC subsidiaries, Yubo Jingzhi Biotechnology (Chengdu) Co., Ltd. (“Yubo Jingzhi”) and EpiAis Biomedical Engineering Co., Ltd. (“Yubo Shenzhen”). Yubo Beijing conducts the day-to-day business operations of our Company in China through contractual arrangements with our subsidiaries. We do not own any equity interest in Yubo Beijing or any of its subsidiaries. Investors in our Class A common stock currently do not hold, and may never hold, any equity interest, directly or indirectly, in Yubo Beijing or any of its subsidiaries.
Our corporate structure involving the VIE provides investors with contractual exposure to foreign investment in China-based companies where PRC laws prohibit direct foreign investment in Chinese operating companies in certain industries, such as Yubo Beijing. This structure involves unique risks to investors and is subject to risks relating to our contractual arrangements with Yubo Beijing and its shareholders. Our contractual arrangements with Yubo Beijing have not been tested in a court of law. If the PRC government finds these contractual arrangements non-compliant with the restrictions on direct foreign investment in the relevant industries, or if the relevant PRC laws, regulations, and rules or the interpretation thereof change in the future, we could be subject to severe penalties or be forced to relinquish our interests in Yubo Beijing or forfeit our rights under the contractual arrangements. Further, the Chinese regulatory authorities could disallow our contractual arrangements with Yubo Beijing, which would likely result in a material adverse change in our operations, and, given the resulting inability to consolidate Yubo Beijing’s financial results in our consolidated financial statements, in the value of our Class A common stock, which could significantly decline or become worthless.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Statements in this Quarterly Report that are not descriptions of historical facts are forward-looking statements that are based on management’s current expectations and assumptions and are subject to risks and uncertainties. If such risks or uncertainties materialize or such assumptions prove incorrect, our business, operating results, financial condition and stock price could be materially negatively affected. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology including “anticipates,” “believes,” “can,” “continue,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “plans,” “potential,” “predicts,” “should,” “will,” “would” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those currently anticipated include those set forth in “Part I—Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—The VIE and China Operations” and “Part II Other Information—Item 1A. Risk Factors” of this Quarterly Report and “Part I—Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 12, 2024, including, without limitation, risks relating to:
| • | the results of Yubo Beijing’s research and development activities relating, in particular, to stem cell related technologies; |
|
| |
| • | the early stage of Yubo Beijing’s product candidates presently under development; |
|
|
|
| • | the need for substantial additional funds in order to continue our operations, and the uncertainty of whether we will be able to obtain the funding we need; |
|
|
|
| • | Yubo Beijing’s ability to obtain and, if obtained, maintain regulatory approval of its current product candidates, and any of its other future product candidates, and any related restrictions, limitations, and/or warnings in the label of any approved product candidate; |
|
|
|
| • | Yubo Beijing’s ability to retain or hire key scientific or management personnel; |
|
|
|
| • | Yubo Beijing’s ability to protect its intellectual property rights that are valuable to its business, including patent and other intellectual property rights; |
|
|
|
| • | Yubo Beijing’s dependence on third-party manufacturers, suppliers, research organizations, testing laboratories and other potential collaborators; |
|
|
|
| • | Yubo Beijing’s ability to develop successful sales and marketing capabilities in the future as needed; |
|
|
|
| • | the size and growth of the potential markets for any of Yubo Beijing’s approved product candidates, and the rate and degree of market acceptance of any of its approved product candidates; |
|
|
|
| • | competition in the industry; and |
|
|
|
| • | regulatory developments in China. |
We operate in a rapidly changing environment and new risks emerge from time to time. As a result, it is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events and circumstances discussed in this Quarterly Report may not occur and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements. You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee that the future results, levels of activity, performance or events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur. Moreover, neither we nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report speak only as of the date hereof, and except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason after the date of this Quarterly Report to conform these statements to actual results or to changes in our expectations.

See Note 16 for a condensed consolidating balance sheet of the Company at June 30, 2024 and a condensed consolidating statement of operations of the Company for the six month ended June 30, 2024.
Foreign Currency Translation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars (“$”), which is the reporting currency of the Company. The functional currency of Platinum and Platinum HK is the United States dollar. The functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries and VIE located in the PRC is the Renminbi (“RMB”). For the entities whose functional currencies are the RMB, results of operations and cash flows are translated at average exchange rates during the period ($
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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. 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 our operating environment changes. Significant estimates and assumptions by management include, among others, useful lives and impairment of long-lived assets, 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 include cash on hand, cash in bank accounts, cash in time deposits, certificates of deposit and all highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less.
F-8 |
Table of Contents |
Inventories
Inventories now mainly consisting of beauty care products, are stated at the lower of cost utilizing the weighted average method or net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated selling costs.
The valuation of inventory requires the Company to estimate excess and slow-moving inventories. The Company evaluates the recoverability of the inventory based on expected demand and market conditions.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment consist of leasehold improvements and office equipment. All property and equipment are stated at historical cost net of accumulated depreciation. Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Property and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the following periods:
Leasehold improvements |
| Remaining term of lease |
Air conditioning equipment |
| |
Office equipment |
|
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets consist of distribution software and patents and are stated at historical cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization of intangible assets is calculated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the contractual terms or the expected useful lives of the respective assets. The amortization period by major asset classes is as follows:
Distribution software |
| |
Patents |
|
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company’s long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of an asset to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. Impairment evaluations involve management’s estimates on asset useful lives and future cash flows. Actual useful lives and cash flows could be different from those estimated by management which could have a material effect on our reporting results and financial position. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company adopted ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements,” which defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 — inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 — inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.
Level 3 — inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.
F-9 |
Table of Contents |
Financial instruments include cash, receivables, due from related parties, accounts payable and accrued expenses, advances from prospective customers/distributors and due to related parties. The carrying values of these financial instruments approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
For the periods presented, there were no financial assets or liabilities measured at fair value.
Leases
We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, operating lease liabilities - current, and operating lease liabilities - noncurrent on the balance sheets. The initial lease liability is equal to the future fixed minimum lease payments discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate, on a secured basis. The initial measurement of the right-of-use asset is equal to the initial lease liability plus any initial direct costs.
ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term.
Revenue Recognition
The Company derives its revenue from (1) the sale of health management and health maintenance service agreements (commencing in the quarterly period ended September 30, 2023 and (2) the sale of health and personal care products. The Company adopted ASC 606 requires the use of a five-step model to recognize revenue from contracts with customers. The five-step model requires entities to exercise judgment when considering the terms of contracts, which includes (1) identifying the contracts or agreements with a customer, (2) identifying our contract with performance obligations in the contract or agreement, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the separate performance obligations, and (5) recognizing revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Trade accounts receivable arise from the sale of products and services on trade credit terms. On a quarterly basis, we review all significant accounts as to their past due balances, as well as collectability of the outstanding trade account receivables for possible write off. It is our policy to write off the account receivable against the allowance account when we deem the receivable to be uncollectible. Additionally, we review orders from dealers that are significantly past due, and we ship product only when our ability to collect payment from our customer for the new order is probable.
Our allowance for doubtful accounts reflects our best estimate for losses inherent in the trade accounts receivable balance. We determine the allowance based on known troubled accounts, weighting probabilities of future conditions and expected outcomes, and other currently available evidence.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.
Income Taxes
The Company follows the liability method in accounting for income taxes in accordance with ASC topic 740 (“ASC 740”), Income Taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences 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 against 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.
F-10 |
Table of Contents |
The Company applies the provisions of ASC 740 to account for uncertainty in income taxes. ASC 740 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by prescribing the recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the consolidated financial statements.
The Company will classify interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, if and when required, as part of income tax expense in the consolidated statements of operations.
Net Income (Loss) per Share
Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of Class A and Class B common shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted net income (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if dilutive securities (such as stock options and convertible securities) were exercised or converted into common shares. For the periods presented, the Company had no dilutive securities outstanding.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the increase (decrease) in equity of the Company during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances excluding transactions resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Comprehensive income (loss) is reported in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), including net income (loss) and foreign currency translation adjustments, presented net of tax.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02 (ASU 2016-02) “Leases (Topic 842)”. ASU 2016-02 requires a lessee to recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. We adopted ASU 2016-02 for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018.
For finance leases, a lessee is required to do the following:
| · | Recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, in the balance sheet. |
|
|
|
| · | Recognize interest on the lease liability separately from amortization of the right-of-use asset in the statement of comprehensive income. |
|
|
|
| · | Classify repayments of the principal portion of the lease liability within financing activities and payments of interest on the lease liability and variable lease payments within operating activities in the statement of cash flows. |
For operating leases, a lessee is required to do the following:
| · | Recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, in the balance sheet. |
|
|
|
| · | Recognize a single lease cost, calculated so that the cost of the lease is allocated over the lease term on a generally straight-line basis. |
|
|
|
| · | Classify all cash payments within operating activities in the statement of cash flows. |
Other than increasing assets and liabilities at the inception of the respective leases (See Note 8), ASU 2016-02 has not had a significant effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
The Company does not believe other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, statements of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN
The Company’s financial statements as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 have been prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues and cash flows sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. At June 30, 2024, the Company had cash of $
In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management’s plan is to obtain such resources for the Company by obtaining capital from management and significant shareholders sufficient to meet its operating expenses and seeking third party equity and/or debt financing. However, management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans. These financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Restricted net assets
The Company’s ability to pay dividends is primarily dependent on the Company receiving distributions of funds from its subsidiaries or its VIE. Relevant PRC statutory laws and regulations permit payments of dividends by Yubo Beijing, Yubo Chengdu, Yubo Jingzhi, Yubo Global, Yubo Phoenix, and Yubo Shenzhen ( collectively, the “PRC subsidiaries and VIE”) only out of their retained earnings, if any, as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations and after it has met the PRC requirements for appropriation to statutory reserves. Paid in capital of the PRC subsidiaries and VIE included in the Company’s consolidated net assets are also non-distributable for dividend purposes. The results of operations reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP differ from those reflected in the statutory financial statements of the PRC subsidiaries and VIE. .
The PRC subsidiaries and VIE are required to set aside at least 10% of their after-tax profits each year, if any, to fund certain statutory reserve funds until such reserve funds reach 50% of its registered capital. In addition, the PRC subsidiaries and VIE may allocate a portion of their after-tax profits based on PRC accounting standards to an enterprise expansion fund and a staff bonus and welfare fund at its discretion. The statutory reserve funds and the discretionary funds are not distributable as cash dividends.
Since inception to June 30, 2024, the PRC subsidiaries and VIE have not generated any profit and had negative retained earnings as of June 30, 2024. As a result, these entities have not accrued statutory reserve funds.
The ability of the Company’s PRC subsidiaries and its VIE to make dividends and other payments to the Company may also be restricted by changes in applicable foreign exchange and other laws and regulations. Foreign currency exchange regulation in China is primarily governed by the following rules:
| · | Foreign Exchange Administration Rules (1996), as amended in August 2008, or the Exchange Rules; |
|
|
|
| · | Administration Rules of the Settlement, Sale and Payment of Foreign Exchange (1996), or the Administration Rules. |
Currently, under the Administration Rules, Renminbi is freely convertible for current account items, including the distribution of dividends, interest payments, trade and service related foreign exchange transactions, but not for capital account items, such as direct investments, loans, repatriation of investments and investments in securities outside of China, unless the prior approval of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (the “SAFE”) is obtained and prior registration with the SAFE is made. Foreign-invested enterprises that need foreign exchange for the distribution of profits to its shareholders may affect payment from their foreign exchange accounts or purchase and pay foreign exchange rates at the designated foreign exchange banks to their foreign shareholders by producing board resolutions for such profit distribution. Based on their needs, foreign-invested enterprises are permitted to open foreign exchange settlement accounts for current account receipts and payments of foreign exchange along with specialized accounts for capital account receipts and payments of foreign exchange at certain designated foreign exchange banks.
F-17 |
Table of Contents |
Although the current Exchange Rules allow the convertibility of Chinese Renminbi into foreign currency for current account items, conversion of Chinese Renminbi into foreign exchange for capital items, such as foreign direct investment, loans or securities, requires the approval of SAFE, which is under the authority of the People’s Bank of China. These approvals, however, do not guarantee the availability of foreign currency conversion. The Company cannot be sure that it will be able to obtain all required conversion approvals for its operations or that the Chinese regulatory authorities will not impose greater restrictions on the convertibility of Chinese Renminbi in the future. Currently, all of the Company’s revenues are generated in Renminbi. Any future restrictions on currency exchanges may limit the Company’s ability to use its retained earnings generated in Renminbi to make dividends or other payments in U.S. dollars or fund possible business activities outside China.

The Agreement provides for Zhenhuikang to, among other things, assist Yubo Beijing in the preparation of 300 sets of endometrial stem cell harvesting packages. As amended July 2, 2020, the Agreement provides for Yubo Beijing to pay Zhenhuikang at the rate of RMB 666 per set or RMB 199,800 total ($

Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
The tax authority of the PRC government conducts periodic and ad hoc tax filing reviews on business enterprises operating in the PRC after those enterprises complete their relevant tax filings. Therefore, the Company’s PRC entities’ tax filings results are subject to change and may lead to tax liabilities.
ASC 740 requires recognition and measurement of uncertain income tax positions using a “more-likely-than-not” approach. The management evaluated the Company’s tax positions and concluded that no liability for uncertainty in income taxes was necessary as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Risks of Variable Interest Entity Structure
Although the structure the Company has adopted is consistent with longstanding industry practice, and is commonly adopted by comparable companies in China, the PRC government may not agree that these arrangements comply with PRC licensing, registration or other regulatory requirements, with existing policies or with requirements or policies that may be adopted in the future. There are uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of PRC laws and regulations including those that govern the Company’s contractual arrangements, which could limit the Company’s ability to enforce these contractual arrangements. If the Company or its variable interest entity is found to be in violation of any existing or future PRC laws, rules or regulations, or fail to obtain or maintain any of the required permits or approvals, the relevant PRC regulatory authorities would have broad discretion to take action in dealing with such violations or failures, including levying fines, revoking business and other licenses of the Company’s variable interest entity, requiring the Company to discontinue or restrict its operations, restricting its right to collect revenue, requiring the Company to restructure its operations or taking other regulatory or enforcement actions against the Company. In addition, it is unclear what impact the PRC government actions would have on the Company and on its ability to consolidate the financial results of its variable interest entity in the consolidated financial statements, if the PRC government authorities were to find the Company’s legal structure and contractual arrangements to be in violation of PRC laws, rules and regulations. If the imposition of any of these government actions causes the Company to lose its right to direct the activities of Yubo Beijing or the right to receive their economic benefits, the Company would no longer be able to consolidate Yubo Beijing.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 included under “Part I Financial Information—Item 1. Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report. In addition to historical information, this discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including, but not limited, to those set forth under “Part II Other Information—Item 1A. Risk Factors” and elsewhere in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 12, 2024.
Corporate Overview
We are a U.S. holding company primarily operating through our wholly owned subsidiary, Platinum International Biotech Co., Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands (“Platinum”). Platinum is not a Chinese operating company but a Cayman Islands holding company, which in turn operates in China through its subsidiaries and contractual arrangements with a variable interest entity (“VIE”), Yubo International Biotech (Beijing) Limited, a company organized under the laws of the People’s Republic of China and, through contractual arrangements with us, the Chinese operating company (“Yubo Beijing”). None of our Company, Platinum, or Platinum International Biotech (Hong Kong) Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Platinum (“Platinum HK”), each as a holding company, conducts any day-to-day business operations in China.
Yubo Beijing conducts the day-to-day business operations of our Company in China through contractual arrangements with our subsidiaries. Yubo Beijing is a VIE based in China and as such, we do not own any equity interest in Yubo Beijing or any of its subsidiaries. Investors in our Class A common stock currently do not hold, and may never hold, any equity interest, directly or indirectly, in Yubo Beijing or any of its subsidiaries. Yubo Beijing is a technology company focused on the research and development and application of endometrial stem cells. Yubo Beijing is committed to building the first public endometrial stem cell repository in the world. Yubo Beijing offers its products and services under the brand “VIVCELL.” Yubo Beijing’s product offerings include healthcare products for respiratory system, skincare products, hair care products, healthy beverages and male and female personal care products. Yubo Beijing also offers stem cell related services including cell testing and health management consulting services.
Our corporate structure involving the VIE provides investors with contractual exposure to foreign investment in China-based companies where PRC laws prohibit direct foreign investment in Chinese operating companies in certain industries, such as Yubo Beijing. This structure involves unique risks to investors and is subject to risks relating to our contractual arrangements with Yubo Beijing and its shareholders. Our contractual arrangements with Yubo Beijing have not been tested in a court of law. If the PRC government finds these contractual arrangements non-compliant with the restrictions on direct foreign investment in the relevant industries, or if the relevant PRC laws, regulations, and rules or the interpretation thereof change in the future, we could be subject to severe penalties or be forced to relinquish our interests in Yubo Beijing or forfeit our rights under the contractual arrangements. Further, the Chinese regulatory authorities could disallow our contractual arrangements with Yubo Beijing, which would likely result in a material adverse change in our operations, and, given the resulting inability to consolidate Yubo Beijing’s financial results in our consolidated financial statements, in the value of our Class A common stock, which could significantly decline or become worthless. For more information regarding the VIE structure and its associated risks, see “—The VIE and China Operations” below and “Part I—Item 1A. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Corporate Structure” in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the SEC on April 12, 2024. Key factors affecting our results of operations include revenues, cost of goods sold, operating expenses and income and taxation.
The VIE and China Operations
We are a U.S. holding company primarily operating through our wholly owned subsidiary, Platinum. Platinum is not a Chinese operating company but a Cayman Islands holding company, which in turn operates in China through (i) its Hong Kong and PRC subsidiaries, including Yubo Global, and the WFOE, in which we hold equity ownership interests, and (ii) Yubo Beijing, a Chinese operating company that conducts the day-to-day business operations in China as described in this Quarterly Report. We do not own any equity interest in Yubo Beijing or Yubo Jingzhi.

We manage Yubo Beijing through the WFOE. On September 11, 2020, the WFOE entered into a series of contractual arrangements with Yubo Beijing and its shareholders, allowing us to exercise effective control over Yubo Beijing. These agreements include:
| • | Exclusive Consulting Services Agreement. Pursuant to the Exclusive Consulting Services Agreement, the WFOE agreed to provide, and Yubo Beijing agreed to accept, exclusive management services provided by the WFOE. The Exclusive Consulting Services Agreement was amended in March 2022 for the sole purpose of clarifying the fee structure under such agreement. Pursuant to the amendment, Yubo Beijing agreed to compensate the WFOE, Yubo Chengdu, for its services on an annual basis. Under the amendment, the WFOE is entitled to receive 90% of the after-tax profit from Yubo Beijing annually following the closing of Yubo Beijing’s annual accounts. In light of such arrangement, the WFOE is considered a primary beneficiary of benefits that are otherwise potentially significant to Yubo Beijing. The amendment did not change the contractual relationships that we have with Yubo Beijing. Since Yubo Beijing has not generated any after-tax profit to date, Yubo Beijing has not paid any fee to the WFOE to date. |
| • | Exclusive Option Agreement. Pursuant the Exclusive Option Agreement, the shareholders of Yubo Beijing granted the WFOE an irrevocable and exclusive purchase option to acquire Yubo Beijing’s equity and/or assets at a nominal consideration. The WFOE may exercise the purchase option at any time. |
| • | Equity Pledge Agreement. Pursuant to the Equity Pledge Agreement, the shareholders of Yubo Beijing pledged all of their equity interests in Yubo Beijing, including the proceeds thereof, to guarantee all of the WFOE’s rights and benefits under the Exclusive Consulting Services Agreement and the Exclusive Option Agreement. |
We do not have any equity ownership interest in, direct foreign investment in, or control through such contractual agreements of Yubo Beijing. Given that, pursuant to our contractual agreements with Yubo Beijing, we can (i) exercise certain level of management over Yubo Beijing, (ii) receive substantially all of the economic benefits of Yubo Beijing, and (iii) have an exclusive option to purchase all or part of the equity interests in Yubo Beijing when and to the extent permitted by PRC law, we consolidate Yubo Beijing’s financial results in our consolidated financial statements under U.S. GAAP.
The following diagram illustrates our corporate structure, including the VIE, Yubo Beijing, as of the date of this Quarterly Report.

The following diagram illustrates the typical cash flow among our main subsidiaries, the WFOE and Yubo Beijing, the VIE:
As of the date of this Quarterly Report, with respect to our securities offering in the United State to foreign investors in the past, under current PRC laws, regulations and rules, we believe that we, our subsidiaries, and Yubo Beijing (i) have not been required to obtain permissions from or complete filings with the CSRC, (ii) have not been required to go through cybersecurity review by the CAC, and (iii) have not received or denied such requisite permissions by the CSRC or the CAC.

Furthermore, other than the uncertainties discussed in ‘Item 1A. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Doing Business in China—The PRC government has significant authority to exert influence on the China operations of an offshore holding company, such as us. Therefore, Yubo Beijing’s business faces potential uncertainty from the PRC government’s policy. Changes in China’s economic, political, or social conditions, or government policies could materially and adversely affect our or Yubo Beijing’s business, financial condition, and results of operations’, we, our subsidiaries, and Yubo Beijing have obtained all necessary permissions and approvals from the PRC government authorities with respect to the business operations in China, including, among others, the Food Operation License Permit and Medical License Distribution Enterprise Filing Certificate. To our knowledge and the knowledge of our subsidiaries and Yubo Beijing, no permissions or approvals from the applicable PRC government authorities have been denied. Given the uncertainties of interpretation and implementation of relevant laws and regulations and the enforcement practice by relevant government authorities, we, our subsidiaries, or Yubo Beijing may be required to obtain additional licenses, permits, filings, or approvals for our business operations in the future. If we are unable to obtain necessary licenses, permits, filings, or approvals on commercially reasonable terms, in a timely manner or otherwise, we may become subject to sanctions imposed by the PRC regulatory authorities, which could include fines and penalties, proceedings against it, and other forms of sanctions. As a result, we, our subsidiaries, and Yubo Beijing’s ability to conduct business, invest into China as foreign investment or accept foreign investment, complete any future offering, or list on a U.S. or other overseas exchange may be restricted, and our business, reputation, financial condition, and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected. For further information, see “—Regulatory Developments” below.
Risks and Uncertainties Relating to Doing Business in China
We and Yubo Beijing face various legal and operational risks and uncertainties relating to doing substantially all of the day-to-day business operations in China. We operate our business primarily in China through contractual arrangements with Yubo Beijing, which is subject to complex and evolving PRC laws and regulations. Therefore, investors in our Class A common stock face potential uncertainty from the PRC government. Changes in China’s economic, political or social conditions or government policies could materially adversely affect Yubo Beijing’s business and results of operations. For example, Yubo Beijing faces risks associated with regulatory approvals on offshore offerings, antimonopoly regulatory actions, and oversight on cybersecurity and data privacy, which may impact Yubo Beijing’s ability to conduct certain businesses or accept foreign investments, or ability of list or offer securities on a U.S. stock exchange. These risks could result in a material adverse change in our operations and the value of our securities, significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to continue to offer securities to investors, or cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or become worthless. The PRC government also has significant authority to intervene or influence the China operations of an offshore holding company, such as ours, at any time. Recently, the PRC government is enhancing supervision over companies seeking listings overseas and some specific business or activities such as the use of variable interest entities and data security or anti-monopoly. It may exert more oversight and control over offerings conducted overseas by, and/or foreign investment in, China-based companies, which could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors.
Furthermore, the PRC government may adopt new measures that may affect Yubo Beijing’s operations, or exert more oversight and control over offerings conducted outside of China and foreign investment in China-based companies, and we may be subject to challenges brought by these new laws, regulations and policies. These legal and operational risks, together with uncertainties in the PRC legal system and the interpretation and enforcement of PRC laws, regulations and policies, could hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors, result in a material adverse change to Yubo Beijing’s business operations, and damage Yubo Beijing’s reputation, each of which could cause our Class A common stock to significantly decline in value or become worthless. For a detailed description of risks related to doing business in China, please refer to risks disclosed under “Item 1A. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Doing Business in China” in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the SEC on April 12, 2024.
Enforceability of Civil Liabilities
All of our executive officers and directors, including our Chief Executive Officer and director, Mr. Yang Wang, our
President and director, Mr. Jun Wang, our Chief Financial Officer and director, Ms. Lina Liu, and our director, Mr. Zhihui Bai, are residents of China, and almost all of their assets are located in China. As such, there is doubt as to the enforceability in China, either in original actions or in actions for enforcement of judgments of U.S. courts, of civil liabilities predicated solely on the federal securities laws of the United States or the securities laws of any state of the United States on us or our directors and executive officers. Shareholder claims that are common in the United States, including securities law class actions and fraud claims, generally are difficult to pursue as a matter of law or practicality in China. For example, in China, there are significant legal and other obstacles to obtaining information needed for shareholder investigations or litigation outside China or otherwise with respect to foreign entities. Although the local authorities in China may establish a regulatory cooperation mechanism with the securities regulatory authorities of another country or region to implement cross-border supervision and administration, such regulatory cooperation with the securities regulatory authorities in the Unities States has not been efficient in the absence of a mutual and practical cooperation mechanism.

Efforts by shareholders to obtain recourse against our management in U.S. courts will likely also be unavailing. It will be difficult for the shareholders to effect service of process upon members of our management who reside in China. In general, Chinese authorities will not assist in performing the service. China does not have treaties with the United States providing for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments of courts. In addition, according to the PRC Civil Procedures Law, courts in China will not enforce a foreign judgment against us or our directors and officers if they decide that the judgment violates the basic principles of PRC law or national sovereignty, security, or public interest. Therefore, even if a shareholder were successful in obtaining judgment against our officer or director in a U.S. court, recognition and enforcement in China of judgments of a court in the U.S. in relation to any matter not subject to a binding arbitration provision may be difficult or impossible to obtain.
The OTCQB® Venture Market
On April 24, 2023, shares of our Class A common stock began being quoted on The OTCQB® Venture Market under the symbol “YBGJ”.
Recent Developments
On July 1, 2024, Yubo Beijing entered into an agreement with Jiu Si Cheng Management, landlord of its prior office space in Beijing, China (see Note 8: Leases to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report). Pursuant to such agreement, Yubo Beijing had to vacate the office space no later than July 31, 2024 (which already occurred) and to pay Jiu Si Cheng Management past due rent of RMB 2,061,473 ($283,750) in two installments: (i) RMB 500,000 ($68,822) by July 31, 2024 (which already occurred) and (ii) RMB1,561,473 ($214,928) by August 31, 2024.
On August 5, 2024, Yubo Beijing entered into a lease agreement with Beijing Bohui Business Management Services Co. Ltd. to rent certain office space in Beijing, China. The lease has a term of two years, commencing on August 26, 2024 and ending on August 25, 2026. The monthly rent under the lease is RMB 55,000 ($7,570).
Regulatory Developments
Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act
The Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, or the HFCA Act, was enacted on December 18, 2020. The HFCA Act states that if the SEC determines that an issuer’s audit reports issued by a registered public accounting firm have not been subject to inspection by the PCAOB for three consecutive years beginning in 2021, the SEC shall prohibit such issuer’s securities from being traded on a national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter trading market in the United States.
On June 22, 2021, the U.S. Senate passed the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (“AHFCAA”), which was signed into law on December 29, 2022. the AHFCAA amended the HFCA Act and require the SEC to prohibit an issuer’s securities from trading on any U.S. stock exchanges if its auditor is not subject to PCAOB inspections for two consecutive years instead of three years.
On December 2, 2021, the SEC adopted amendments to finalize rules implementing the submission and disclosure requirements in the HFCA Act. We will be required to comply with these rules if the SEC identifies us as a Commission-Identified Issuer (as defined in the final rules) under a process to be subsequently established by the SEC, and the SEC could prohibit the trading of our securities on national securities exchanges if we are identified as a Commission-Identified Issuer. Under the HFCA Act, our securities may be prohibited from trading on the Nasdaq or other U.S. stock exchanges if our auditor is not inspected by the PCAOB for three consecutive years, and this ultimately could result in our shares being delisted.

On December 16, 2021, PCAOB announced the PCAOB Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act determinations (the “2021 PCAOB Determinations”) relating to the PCAOB’s inability to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China of the PRC or Hong Kong, a Special Administrative Region and dependency of the PRC, because of a position taken by one or more authorities in the PRC or Hong Kong.
On December 15, 2022, the PCAOB announced in the 2022 Determination its determination that the PCAOB was able to secure complete access to inspect and investigate accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong, and the PCAOB Board voted to vacate previous determinations to the contrary. Should the PCAOB again encounter impediments to inspections and investigations in mainland China or Hong Kong as a result of positions taken by any authority in either jurisdiction, including by the CSRC or the MOF, the PCAOB will make determinations under the HFCAA as and when appropriate.
As of the date of this Quarterly Report, Michael T. Studer CPA P.C., our independent registered public accounting firm, is headquartered in Freeport, New York, and as an auditor of companies that are traded publicly in the United States and a firm registered with the PCAOB, is subject to laws in the United States pursuant to which the PCAOB conducts inspections to assess its compliance with the applicable professional standards. Our auditor has been inspected by the PCAOB on a regular basis and it is not included in the determination letter issued by the PCAOB on December 16, 2021. On December 15, 2022, the PCAOB issued a report that vacated its December 16, 2021 determination and removed mainland China and Hong Kong from the list of jurisdictions where it is unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms. Each year, the PCAOB will determine whether it can inspect and investigate completely audit firms in mainland China and Hong Kong, among other jurisdictions. Although our auditor is headquartered in the United States, we cannot assure you whether OTC Markets or regulatory authorities would not in the future apply additional and more stringent criteria to us after considering the effectiveness of our auditor’s audit procedures and quality control procedures, adequacy of personnel and training, or sufficiency of resources, geographic reach, or experience as it relates to our audit. If it is later determined that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely our auditor because of a position taken by an authority in a foreign jurisdiction or any other reasons, the lack of inspection could cause the trading in our securities to be prohibited under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, and as a result OTC Markets may delist or suspend the trading of our Class A common stock. If our Class A common stock is unable to be listed on another securities exchange, such a delisting or suspension would substantially impair your ability to sell or purchase our securities when you wish to do so, and the risk and uncertainty associated with a potential delisting would have a negative impact on the price of our Class A common stock.
Cybersecurity Review Measures
On December 28, 2021, the Cyberspace Administration of China (“CAC”) published the revised Measures for Cybersecurity Review (“CRM”), which further restates and expands the applicable scope of the cybersecurity review. The revised CRM took effect on February 15, 2022. Pursuant to the revised CRM, if a network platform operator holding personal information of over one million users seeks for “foreign” listing, it must apply for the cybersecurity review, and operators of critical information infrastructure purchasing network products and services are also obligated to apply for the cybersecurity review for such purchasing activities. Although the CRM provides no further explanation on the extent of “network platform operator” and “foreign” listing, we do not believe we are obligated to apply for a cybersecurity review pursuant to the revised CRM, considering that (i) we are not in possession of or otherwise holding personal information of over one million users and it is also very unlikely that we will reach such threshold in the near future; and (ii) as of the date of this Quarterly Report, we have not received any notice or determination from applicable PRC governmental authorities identifying it as a CIIO or requiring us to go through cybersecurity review or similar government reviews. That being said, considering that the revised CRM empowers the cybersecurity review office to initiate cybersecurity review when they believe any particular data processing activities “affect or may affect national security”, and that the revised CRM is new, it is uncertain whether the competent government authorities will deem that Yubo Beijing’s data processing activities may affect national security and thus initiating the cybersecurity review against Yubo Beijing’s businesses, and whether the competent government authorities, including the CAC, will adopt new laws, regulations or rules related to the revised CRM subjecting Yubo Beijing or its business to the cybersecurity review. We cannot guarantee, however, that we will not be subject to the cybersecurity review in the future. If a cybersecurity review is determined to apply to us in the future, we may be required to suspend our operations or experience other disruptions to our operations. Cybersecurity review could also result in negative publicity with respect to our Company and diversion of our managerial and financial resources, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Failure of cybersecurity, data privacy and data security compliance which may be identified during any of such cybersecurity review could subject Yubo Beijing to penalties, damage its reputation and brand, and harm its business and results of operations.

Furthermore, on August 20, 2021, the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress promulgated the PRC Personal Information Protection Law (the “PIPL”), which took effect in November 2021. The PIPL provides that any entity involving processing of personal information (the “PI Handler”) shall take various measures to prevent the disclosure, modification or losing of the personal information processed by such entity, including, but not limited to, formulating a related internal management system and standard of operation, conducting classified management of personal information, taking safety technology measures to encrypt and de-identify the processed personal information, providing regular safety training and education for staff and formulating a personal information safety emergency accident plan. The PIPL further provides that a PI Handler shall conduct a prior evaluation of the impact of personal information protection before the occurrence of various situations, including, but not limited to, processing of sensitive personal information (personal information that, once leaked or illegally used, may lead to discrimination against an individual or serious harm to an individual’s personal or property safety, including information on an individual’s ethnicity, religious beliefs, personal biological characteristics, medical health, financial accounts, personal whereabouts), using personal information to make automated decisions and providing personal information to any overseas entity. Notably, in case of cross-border transfer of personal information, the PIPL requires the PI Handler to either (i) complete a mandatory security assessment by CAC, (ii) complete the personal information protection certification (the “PIPC”) by a certification institution designated by the CAC, or (iii) conclude a standard contract provided by CAC with the foreign recipients.
On July 7, 2022, the CAC promogulated the Outbound Data Transfer Security Assessment Measures (the “Measures”), which became effective on September 1, 2022. According to the Measures, a PI Handler should declare a mandatory security assessment for its outbound data transfer to the CAC through the local provincial cyberspace administration under the following circumstances (i) where such PI Handler provides critical data outside the territory of the PRC, (ii) where the PI Handler being a CIIO or processing the personal information of more than one million individuals provides personal information outside the territory of the PRC, (iii) where a PI Handler has provided personal information of 100,000 individuals or sensitive personal information of 10,000 individuals in total outside the territory of the PRC since January 1 of the previous year; or (iv) other circumstances prescribed by the CAC for which declaration for security assessment for cross-border data transfers is required.
On November 4, 2022, the CAC and the State Administration for Market Regulation (the “SAMR”) jointly issued the Notification on the Implementation of Personal Information Protection Certification, formally initiating the mechanism of PIPC. In parallel, on December 16, 2022, the National Information Security Standardization Technical Committee released an updated version of the Guidance on Network Security Standardized Practice – Specification for Certification of Personal Information Cross-Border Processing Activities, which provides the general principles and detailed requirements for cross-border PIPC.
On February 22, 2023, the CAC published the Measures for the Standard Contract for Cross-Border Transfer of Personal Information, along with the final version of the standard contract for the cross-border transfer of personal information outside of mainland China (the “PRC Standard Contract”), which will be effective on June 1, 2023. A PI Handler may choose either (i) to complete a PIPC, or (ii) to conclude a PRC Standard Contract with a foreign recipient and provide it along with other required materials to relevant governmental authorities for filing to ensure the legality of a cross-border transfer of personal information, as long as not falling into the circumstances required for a mandatory security assessment as mentioned above.
On March 22, 2024, the CAC published the Provisions on Promoting and Regulating the Cross-border Flow of Data (the “New Provisions”) which took immediate effect on March 22, 2024. Under the New Provisions, the security assessment is required when (i) the PI Handler is a CIIO, (ii) the PI Handler is transferring any critical data, or (iii) the PI Handler (and provided that such PI Handler is not a CIIO) is, in any given year starting from January 1, exporting personal data of at least 1 million individuals or sensitive personal data of at least 10,000 individual. The New Provisions also exempt the PI Handlers from the security assessment in certain outbound data transfer scenarios such as human resource management, contract fulfillment and emergency situations, etc.

Yubo Beijing’s business involves the processing of personal information of customers using Yubo Beijing’s healthcare products and receiving Yubo Beijing’s services, which may be deemed as sensitive personal information. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, (i) Yubo Beijing is not in possession of or otherwise holding personal information of over one million users and it is also highly unlikely that Yubo Beijing will reach such threshold in the near future, and (ii) Yubo Beijing has not received any notice or determination from the CAC or other applicable PRC governmental authorities identifying it as a CIIO or requiring it to go through cybersecurity review or similar government reviews, and as such, based on its understanding of current PRC laws and regulations, we believe that Yubo Beijing is currently not subject to the cybersecurity review. Considering that (i) as of the date of this Quarterly Report, Yubo Beijing has not received any notice or determination from the CAC or other applicable PRC governmental authorities identifying Yubo Beijing as a CIIO, (ii) as of the date of this Quarterly Report, no data processed by Yubo Beijing has been notified by relevant authorities or regions, or publicly announced as important data , and (iii) during each fiscal year 2021, 2022, 2023 and since January 1, 2024, Yubo Beijing has not provided personal information of one million individuals or sensitive personal information of 100,000 individuals outbound accumulatively, based on its understanding of current PRC laws and regulations, we believe that Yubo Beijing is currently not subject to such security assessment by the CAC.
Further, the New Provisions provide safe harbor rules for certain scenarios of cross-border data transfer, exempting the data exporter from passing security assessment and entering into China standard contractual clauses (China SCCs), including (1) transfer of non-sensitive personal data of less than 100,000 individuals in any given year starting from January 1 (and provided that the controller is not a CIIO), (2) transfer of employee data necessary for HR administration according to collective labor contract or employment policy adopted according to law, (3) transfer of personal data necessary for performing a contract with the said individual including for cross-border commerce, money remittance, opening bank accounts, air and commendation booking, visa and exam services, etc., and (4) transfer of personal data necessary for protecting human life and property security in emergent cases. Since (i) Yubo Beijing has not provided any personal data collected and gathered in its business outside the territory of China, and (ii) we do not have the access to the personal data gathered by Yubo Beijing, based on its understanding of current PRC laws and regulations, we believe that Yubo Beijing is currently not subject to the PRC regulations and policies issued by the CAC with respect to cross-border transfer of personal data gathered in China. However, given that the national security legal framework imposes stricter data localization and protection requirements on personal information and human health-related data in recent years, we might need to maintain the data and personal information collected and generated in our business in mainland China, enter into standard contracts with the overseas recipients of any personal information processed by us (if any), conduct self-assessments, undergo security assessments, or even obtain the requisite approvals from the Chinese government if the transmission of such information and data outside of mainland China is needed, which could significantly increase our operating costs or cause delays or disruptions in our business operations. Furthermore, if Yubo Beijing does not take measures to review and improve its mechanisms in protecting personal information, failure of personal information protection compliance could subject Yubo Beijing to penalties, damage its reputation and brand and harm its business and results of operations.
Permission, Review and Filing Required from the Authorities in Mainland China Relating to Overseas Offering
The PRC government has recently sought to exert more oversight and control and impose more restrictions on China-based companies raising capital offshore and such efforts may continue or intensify in the future. On July 6, 2021, PRC authorities promulgated the Opinions on Severely Cracking Down on Illegal Securities Activities, which emphasized the need to strengthen the supervision over overseas listings by mainland China-based companies. Effective measures, such as promoting the establishment of regulatory systems, are to be taken to deal with the risks and incidents of mainland China-based overseas-listed companies, cybersecurity and data privacy protection requirements and similar matters. See “—Cybersecurity Review Measure” above.
Further, according to the Trial Administrative Measures of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies, or the Overseas Listing Trial Measures, and five supporting guidelines, issued by CSRC on February 17, 2023 (the Overseas Listing Trial Measures and these guidelines collectively, the “Overseas Listing Filing Rules”), the Notice on Administration for the Filing of Overseas Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies published by CSRC on February 17, 2023, or the Notice on the Overseas Listing Filing, and the set of Q&A published on CSRC’s official website, as an issuer which is already listed, Yubo Beijing would be required to make a filing in accordance with the Overseas Listing Filing Rules if: (i) it issues additional convertible bonds, exchangeable bonds or preferred shares, (ii) it issues additional securities in the same overseas market, excluding securities issued for the purpose of implementing equity incentive, distribution of stock dividends, share split, etc., (iii) it issues additional securities in several offerings within its authorized scope; or (iv) it conducts a secondary listing or primary listing in any other overseas market. The reporting entity will also be required to report the occurrence of any of the following material events within three business days after the occurrence and announcement thereof to CSRC: (a) a change of control of the issuer; (b) the investigation, sanction or other measures undertaken by any foreign securities regulatory agencies or competent authorities in respect of the issuer; (c) change of the listing status or transfer of the listing board; and (d) the voluntary or mandatory delisting of the issuer. In addition, the completion of any overseas follow-on offerings by an issuer in the same overseas market where it has completed its public offering and listing would necessitate a filing with CSRC within three business days thereafter.

As of the date of this report, Yubo Beijing has not been involved in any investigations on cybersecurity review initiated by CAC, and Yubo Beijing has not received any official inquiry, notice, warning, or sanctions regarding cybersecurity and overseas listing from CAC, CSRC or any other PRC authorities. However, given (i) the uncertainties with respect to the enactment, implementation, and interpretation of the Overseas Listing Filing Rules and laws and regulations relating to data security, privacy, and cybersecurity, and (ii) that the PRC government authorities have significant discretion in interpreting and implementing statutory provisions in general, there can be no assurance that PRC government authorities will not take a contrary position or adopt different interpretations, or that there will not be changes in the regulatory landscape. Consequently, a cybersecurity review and the approval from or filing with CSRC, CAC, or other government authorities may be required in connection with offering of our securities in the future. If (a) Yubo Beijing does not receive or maintain any required permission, or fails to complete any required review or filing, (b) Yubo Beijing inadvertently concludes that such permission, review or filing is not required, or (c) applicable laws, regulations, or interpretations change such that it becomes mandatory for Yubo Beijing to obtain any permission, review or filing in the future, Yubo Beijing may have to expend significant time and costs to comply with these requirements. If Yubo Beijing is unable to do so, on commercially reasonable terms, in a timely manner or otherwise, it may become subject to sanctions imposed by the PRC regulatory authorities, which could include fines and penalties, proceedings against it, and other forms of sanctions, and Yubo Beijing’s ability to conduct its business, invest into China as foreign investments or accept foreign investments, complete any future offering, or list on a U.S. or other overseas exchange may be restricted, and its business, reputation, financial condition, and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected. Further, Yubo Beijing’s ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors may be significantly limited or completely hindered, and the value of our Class A common stock may significantly decline or become worthless.

Critical Accounting Principles
This section discusses our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to accrued expenses, financing operations, and contingencies and litigation. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The most significant accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of our financial statements include estimates as to the appropriate carrying value of certain assets and liabilities which are not readily apparent from other sources. We consider certain accounting policies related to fair value measurements and earnings per share to be critical accounting policies that require the use of significant judgments and estimates relating to matters that are inherently uncertain and may result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. See Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.
Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02 (ASU 2016-02) “Leases (Topic 842).” ASU 2016-02 requires a lessee to recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. ASU 2016-02 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. For more information, see Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.
We do not believe other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, statements of operations or cash flows.
Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2024 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2023, and for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2023
Sales, Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Profit
Our sales decreased to $nil for the three months ended June 30, 2024 from $1,430 for the three months ended June 30, 2023, primarily because no sales were made during the three months ended June 30, 2024. Our cost of goods sold decreased to $nil for the three months ended June 30, 2024 from $545 for the three months ended June 30, 2023, primarily because no sales were made during three months ended June 30, 2024. As a result, our gross profit decreased from $885 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 to $nil for the three months ended June 30, 2024.
Our sales decreased to $3,488 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 from $153,880 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to a decrease in the sales of health management and health maintenance services. Our cost of goods sold decreased to $827 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 from $96,839 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to decreases in the sales of health management and health maintenance services and health products. As a result, our gross profit decreased from $57,041 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 to $2,661 for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Operating Expenses
Our operating expenses increased to $470,436 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 from $368,161 for the three months ended June 30, 2023, primarily as a result of increases in occupancy and employee compensation expenses.
Our operating expenses increased to $882,517 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 from $740,849 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily as a result of increases in occupancy and employee compensation expenses.
Loss from Operations
Our loss from operations was $470,436 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to $367,276 for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to increase in operating expenses.
Our loss from operations was $1,007,853 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to $683,808 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to increase in operating expenses and decrease in gross profit.
Other Income (Expense)
Our other income (expense) was $(127,895) for the three months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to $(51) for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to a write off on obsolete inventory during the three months ended June 30, 2024.
Our other income (expense) was $(127,996) for the six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to $(186) for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to a write off on obsolete inventory during the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Net Loss
Our net loss was $598,348 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to $367,237 for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to increase in operating expenses.
Our net loss was $1,007,853 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to $683,994 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to increase in operating expenses and decrease in gross profit.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2024, we had cash and equivalents on hand of $7,700 and a negative working capital of $3,191,054. Generally, the primary sources of our funds have been cash from operations, loans from our shareholders and capital contributions. We believe that our cash on hand and working capital will be sufficient to meet our and Yubo Beijing’s anticipated cash requirements through 2024. We intend to continue working toward identifying and obtaining new sources of financing and we intend to raise additional capital in the third and fourth quarters of 2024. No assurances can be given that we will be successful in obtaining additional financing in the future. Any future financing that we may obtain may cause significant dilution to existing stockholders. Any debt financing or other financing of securities senior to common stock that we are able to obtain will likely include financial and other covenants that will restrict our flexibility. Any failure to comply with these covenants would have a negative impact on our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to delay, scale back or eliminate portions of Yubo Beijing’s operations, cease operations or obtain funds through arrangements with strategic partners or others that may require us to relinquish rights to certain of our assets. Accordingly, the inability to obtain such financing could result in a significant loss of ownership and/or control of our assets and could also adversely affect our ability to fund Yubo Beijing’s continued operations and the expansion efforts.
We expect to incur significant legal and accounting costs in connection with being a public company. We expect those fees will be significant and will continue to impact our liquidity. Those fees will be higher as our business volume and activity increases.

Cash Flows
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $(312,405) for the six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to net cash used in operating activities of $(185,594) for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to increase in net loss.
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities
Net cash provided by investing activities was $81,963 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to net cash from investing activities of $nil for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to proceeds from sale of equipment during the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $272,377 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to net cash from investing activities of $nil for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to capital contribution to a subsidiary by non-controlling interest during the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Current Liabilities
As of June 30, 2024, Yubo Beijing received an aggregate amount of $423,090 from eight PRC entities. The related verbal agreements provide for the eight entities to purchase inventory from Yubo Beijing or enter into such other arrangements with Yubo Beijing as the parties mutually agree. Pending formal approval of any such arrangements, all of the eight PRC entities have the right to request the return of their advances.
Shareholder Loans
As of June 30, 2024, we had payables due to Mr. Jun Wang, our President and a director, in the amount of $1,704,910, to Mr. Yang Wang, our Chief Executive Officer and a director, in the amount of $436,622, to Mr. Huang Li, our indirect shareholder, in the amount of $53,681, and to Mr. Jin Wei, our shareholder, in the amount of $30,000.
All of our shareholder loans are due on demand and non-interest bearing.
Going concern
The accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 included an explanatory note referring to our recurring operating losses and expressing substantial doubt in our ability to continue as a going concern. Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. To date, we have not yet established an ongoing source of revenues and cash flows sufficient to cover our operating costs and allow us to continue as a going concern. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we had net losses of $598,348 and $1,007,853, respectively. These factors among others raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations and repay our liabilities arising from normal business operations when they become due. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with any certainty at this time and raise substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern. Our consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amount and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have not entered into any other financial guarantees or other commitments to guarantee the payment obligations of any third parties. We have not entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to our shares and classified as shareholder’s equity or that are not reflected in its consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, we do not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity. We do not have any variable interest in any unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit support to us or engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with us.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information under this item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of our Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report (the “Evaluation Date”), to ensure that information that we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms
Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives. We believe that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of such date.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarterly period ended June 30, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting. We believe that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within any company have been detected.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Internal Controls
Our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, do not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
We are currently not a party to any material legal or administrative proceedings.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
You should carefully consider the factors discussed below and in “Part I, Item 1A.—Risk Factors” and elsewhere in our annual report on Form 10-K filed on April 12, 2024, which could materially affect our business, financial condition, cash flows or future results. The risks described below and in our annual report are not the only risks facing our company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or future results.
We currently conduct our business primarily through contractually arrangements with the PRC operating entity, and our management of the day-to-day business operations of such PRC entity pursuant to contracts, to comply with Chinese law, may not be as effective as conducting business through direct equity ownership of such PRC entity due to uncertainties with respect to the PRC legal system which could materially and adversely affect our results of operation.
Changes in PRC laws and regulations or the policies of the PRC government could have a material adverse effect on our business and operation. We could be adversely affected by uncertainties with respect to the PRC legal system. Rules and regulations in China can change quickly with little advance notice. In addition, the interpretation and enforcement of PRC laws and regulations involve additional uncertainties. Since PRC administrative and court authorities have significant discretion in interpreting and implementing statutory provisions and contractual terms, it may be difficult to evaluate the outcome of administrative and court proceedings and the level of legal protection we enjoy.
Moreover, the PRC government has significant authority to exert influence on the ability of a China-based company, like us, to conduct its business, accept foreign investments or be listed on a U.S. stock exchange. For example, we face risks associated with recent statements and regulatory actions by the PRC government, including those related to regulatory approvals of offshore securities offerings, anti-monopoly regulatory investigations and actions, cybersecurity, and data privacy compliance; also, the PRC government has recently indicated an intent to exert more oversight over overseas securities offerings and published a series of laws and regulations to regulate such transactions. If the China Securities Regulatory Commission (the “CSRC”), the Cyberspace Administration of China (“CAC”) or other competent PRC regulatory authorities determine that prior approval is required for any of our offerings of securities overseas or the operation of our business, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to obtain such approval in a timely manner, or at all. The CSRC, CAC or other PRC regulatory agencies may also take actions requiring us, or making it advisable for us, not to proceed with such activities. If we proceed with any of such activities without obtaining the CSRC’s, CAC’s or other PRC regulatory agencies’ approval to the extent it is required, or if we are unable to comply with any new regulatory requirements, we may face regulatory actions or other sanctions from the CSRC, CAC or other PRC regulatory agencies. These regulatory authorities may impose fines and penalties on our operations in China, limit our ability to pay dividends outside of China or accept foreign investments, delay or restrict the repatriation of the proceeds from offering of securities overseas into China or take other actions that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, as well as the trading price of our stock.
The PRC government may also intervene with or influence our operations as it deems appropriate to further regulatory, political, and societal goals. The PRC government has recently published new policies that affected various industries, and we cannot rule out the possibility that it will in the future release regulations or policies regarding our industry that could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. While we believe that our business operations comply with relevant PRC laws and regulations currently in force in all material respects, we cannot guarantee that new rules or regulations promulgated in the future will not impose any additional requirement on us or otherwise tighten the regulations on companies like us. Any such action, once taken by the PRC government, could cause the value of our securities to significantly decline or become worthless.

The approval of the CSRC or other PRC government authorities may be required in connection with future offshore offering under PRC law, and, if so required, we cannot predict whether or for how long Yubo Beijing will be able to obtain such approval. Any failure to obtain or delay in obtaining such approval for an offshore offering would subject Yubo Beijing to sanctions imposed by the CSRC or other PRC government authorities.
The Regulations on Mergers and Acquisitions of Domestic Companies by Foreign Investors, or the M&A Rules, adopted by six different PRC regulatory authorities in 2006 and amended in 2009, purports to require offshore special purpose vehicles that are controlled by PRC companies or individuals and that have been formed for the purpose of seeking a public listing on an overseas stock exchange through acquisitions of PRC domestic companies or assets to obtain an approval of CSRC prior to publicly listing their securities on an overseas stock exchange. The interpretation and application of the regulations remain unclear, and any of our offshore offerings in the future may ultimately require approval from CSRC. If CSRC approval is required, it is uncertain whether Yubo Beijing are able to and how long it will take for Yubo Beijing to obtain such approval, and, even if we obtain such CSRC approval, the approval could be rescinded. Any failure to obtain or any delay in obtaining CSRC approval for any future offshore offering, or a rescission of such approval may subject Yubo Beijing to sanctions imposed by CSRC or other PRC regulatory authorities, which could include fines and penalties on our operations in China, restrictions or limitations on our ability to pay dividends outside of China, and other forms of sanctions that may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
The PRC government has recently sought to exert more oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas or foreign investment in China-based issuers. The Opinions on Severely Cracking Down on Illegal Securities Activities, among others, emphasizes the need to strengthen cross-border regulatory cooperation and the administration and supervision of China-based issuers, and to establish a comprehensive regulatory system for the application of PRC capital market laws and regulations outside China. On February 17, 2023, CSRC promulgated the Overseas Listing Filing Rules, which became effective on March 31, 2023. According to the Overseas Listing Filing Rules, the offering or listing of shares, depository receipts, convertible corporate bonds, or other equity-like securities by a PRC domestic company in an overseas stock market, whether directly or indirectly through an offshore holding company, should be filed with CSRC. If a PRC domestic company intends to complete a direct or indirect overseas (i) initial public offering and listing, or (ii) listing of shares in the name of an overseas enterprise on the basis of the equity, assets, income or other similar rights of the PRC domestic company through a single or multiple acquisitions, share swaps, shares transfers or other means, the issuer (if the issuer is a PRC domestic company) or its designated major PRC domestic operating entity (if the issuer is an offshore holding company), in each applicable event, the reporting entity, shall complete the filing procedures with CSRC within three business days after the issuer submits its application documents relating to the initial public offering and/or listing or after the first public announcement of the transaction (if the submission of application documents is not required). The determination of whether any offering or listing is “indirect” will be made on a “substance over form” basis. An offering or listing of an issuer will be considered as an overseas indirect offering or listing by PRC domestic companies if both of the following conditions are met with respect to such issuer: (i) the revenues, profit, total assets, or net assets of PRC domestic companies in the most recent fiscal year constitute more than 50% of the line item in the issuer’s audited consolidated and combined financial statements for that year; and (ii) the majority of the senior management personnel responsible for its business operations and management are PRC citizens or have their ordinary residence in China, or if its main place of business is in China or if its business operation is primarily conducted in China. In addition, according to the Overseas Listing Filing Rules and a set of Q&A published on CSRC’s official website in connection with the release of the Overseas Listing Filing Rules, if it is explicitly required (in the form of institutional rules) by any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the industry and field that regulatory procedures should be performed prior to the overseas listing of a PRC domestic company, such company must obtain the regulatory opinion, approval and other documents from and complete any required filing with such competent authority before submitting a CSRC filing. The reporting entity shall make a timely report to CSRC and update its CSRC filing within three business days after the occurrence of any of the following material events, if any of them occurs after obtaining its CSRC filing and before the completion of the offering and/or listing: (i) any material change to principal business, licenses or qualifications of the issuer; (ii) a change of control of the issuer or any material change to equity structure of the issuer; and (iii) any material change to the offering and listing plan. Once listed overseas, the reporting entity will be further required to report the occurrence of any of the following material events within three business days after the occurrence and announcement thereof to CSRC: (i) a change of control of the issuer; (ii) the investigation, sanction or other measures undertaken by any foreign securities regulatory agencies or competent authorities in respect of the issuer; (iii) change of the listing status or transfer of the listing board; and (iv) the voluntary or mandatory delisting of the issuer. In addition, the completion of any overseas follow-on offerings by an issuer in the same overseas market where it has completed its public offering and listing would necessitate a filing with CSRC within three business days thereafter. Failure to comply with the applicable filing requirements may result in fines being imposed on the PRC domestic companies and their controlling shareholders and other responsible person.
Based on the Notice on the Overseas Listing Filing, and the set of Q&A which are in connection with the release of the Oversea Listing Filing Rules, CSRC clarifies that (i) on or prior to the effective date of the Overseas Listing Filing Rules (i.e., March 31, 2023), domestic companies that have already submitted valid applications for overseas offering and listing but have not obtained approval from overseas regulatory authorities or stock exchanges may reasonably arrange the timing for submitting their filing applications with CSRC, and must complete the filing before the completion of their overseas offering and listing; (ii) a transition period until September 30, 2023 will be granted to domestic companies which have already obtained the approval from overseas regulatory authorities or stock exchanges but have not completed the indirect overseas listing prior to the effective date of the Overseas Listing Filing Rules; if domestic companies fail to complete the overseas listing prior to September 30, 2023, they shall file with CSRC according to the requirements.

Further, according to the Overseas Listing Filing Rules, for an issuer which is already listed, it should make filing in accordance with the Overseas Listing Filing Rules if: (i) it issues additional convertible bonds, exchangeable bonds or preferred shares, (ii) it issues additional securities in the same overseas market, excluding securities issued for the purpose of implementing equity incentive, distribution of stock dividends, share split, etc., (iii) it issues additional securities in several offerings within its authorized scope; or (iv) it conducts a secondary listing or primary listing in any other overseas market. The reporting entity will also be required to report the occurrence of any of the following material events within three business days after the occurrence and announcement thereof to CSRC: (i) a change of control of the issuer; (ii) the investigation, sanction or other measures undertaken by any foreign securities regulatory agencies or competent authorities in respect of the issuer; (iii) change of the listing status or transfer of the listing board; and (iv) the voluntary or mandatory delisting of the issuer. In addition, the completion of any overseas follow-on offerings by an issuer in the same overseas market where it has completed its public offering and listing would necessitate a filing with CSRC within three business days thereafter.
Given that (i) the previous offer and sale of shares of our Class A common stock have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to our Registration Statement on Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-255805), which was declared effective by the Commission on July 29, 2022, and (ii) as of the date of this Quarterly Report, we have not conducted any additional equity offerings to raise funds, based on its understanding of current PRC laws and regulations, we believe that we, our subsidiaries, and Yubo Beijing are not required to obtain permissions from the CSRC with respect to the operation of their businesses and the previous offering of our Class A common stock to the investors. However, we and our investors would be adversely affected if (i) we or our subsidiaries, including the VIEs were required to receive or maintain such permissions or approvals from the CSRC, CAC, or other PRC regulatory agencies and did not do so, (ii) if we inadvertently concluded that such approvals are not required, or (iii) if applicable laws, regulations, or interpretations change and we become required to obtain approval in the future. For example, if it is determined in the future that the approval of the CSRC, CAC or any other regulatory authority is required for any offshore offering in the future, we may face sanctions by the CSRC, CAC or other PRC regulatory agencies. These regulatory agencies may impose fines and penalties on our operations in China, limit our ability to pay dividends outside of China, limit our operations in China, delay or restrict the repatriation of the proceeds from such future offering into China or take other actions that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, as well as the trading price and/or listing of our securities. Any uncertainties and/or negative publicity regarding such an approval requirement could have a material adverse effect on the trading price of our securities.
