MHUA Meihua International Medical Technologies Company Ltd

The assets and liabilities of the Company are translated at the exchange spot rate at the balance sheet date, stockholders’ equity is translated at the historical rates and the revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates for the periods, except that the exchange rate used for translation from Hong Kong dollar to US$ was 7.8000, a pegged rate determined by the linked exchange rate system in Hong Kong. This pegged rate was used to translate Kang Fu’s balance sheets, income statement items and cash flow items for both the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under other comprehensive income in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 220, Comprehensive Income. The following are the exchange rates that were used in translating the Company’s PRC subsidiaries’ financial statements into the consolidated financial statements:

The Company’s financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and receivables. As of six months ended June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 substantially all the Company’s cash were held in major financial institutions located in Hong Kong and the PRC, which management considers to be of high credit quality.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, two customers accounted for approximately 18.18% and 10.01% of the Company’s total revenues. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, two customers accounted for approximately 32.53% and 11.25% of the Company’s total revenues.

As of June 30, 2023, two customers accounted for approximately 30.92% and 21.31% of the Company’s accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2022, two customers accounted for approximately 27.73% and 13.14% respectively, of the Company’s accounts receivable.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, one supplier accounted for approximately 14.73% of the Company’s total purchases. As of six months ended June 30, 2022, there was no supplier that individually represented greater than 10% of the total purchase of the Company’s total purchases.

Fair value is the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact, and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.

The Company adopted the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820 for fair value measurements which clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

The Company’s financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, bank acceptance receivables, due from related parties, accounts payable, other liabilities and accrued expenses and short-term bank borrowings. The carrying amounts approximate their fair values due to their short maturities as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

The Company noted no transfers between levels during any of the periods presented. The Company did not have any instruments that were measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Cash consists of petty cash on hand and cash held in banks, which are highly liquid and are unrestricted as to withdrawal or use.

Bank acceptance receivables are issued by bank under the request of the Company’s customers, to pay for the purchased goods. The Company can choose to hold acceptance notes until maturity and receive the face value payment from the bank, or sell (exchange) the acceptance notes at a discount to another party willing to wait until maturity to receive the bank’s promised payment. The maturity date of the receivables is all within one year of the original issuance date and carried at face value. The Company is not lending money, it just sells goods to the customers (customers can pay the purchased goods by cash, accounts receivable or bank acceptance receivables). The receivables mature within one year, and are non-interest bearing. As bank acceptance receivables are issued by the banks and payments are guaranteed. The Company has not discounted any bank acceptances and there were no endorsed bank acceptances that are unmatured as of June 30, 2023. The Company collected approximately $6.0 million as of August 31, 2023. 

Accounts receivable represent trade receivables and are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently adjusted for any allowance for doubtful accounts or impairment.

The Company follows the guidance under ASC 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The standard uses a new forward-looking “methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates.” The Company has adopted the loss rate methodology to estimate historical losses on accounts receivables. The Company has adopted the aging methodology to estimate the credit losses on accounts receivables. The historical data is adjusted to account for forecasted changes in the macroeconomic environment in order to calculate the current expected credit loss. The provision is recorded against accounts receivables balances, with a corresponding charge recorded in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

The Company historically has not had material bad debts in accounts receivable. There were no bad debt expenses related to accounts receivable for six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, and there was no provision for doubtful accounts as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Inventories are valued using the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is principally determined using the weighted-average method. Manufactured inventories included cost of materials, labor and overhead expenses. The Company records adjustments to inventory for excess quantities, obsolescence, or impairment, when appropriate, to reflect inventory at net realizable value. These adjustments are based upon a combination of factors including current sales volume, market conditions, lower of cost or market analysis and expected realizable value of the inventory.

There were no write-downs recognized of inventories as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, prepayment and other current assets were $15,329,511 and $16,428,779.

Prepayment and other assets primarily consist of prepayments for land use right and property, refundable tax credits and receivables, security deposits made to customers, advances to employees, which are presented net of allowance for doubtful accounts. These balances are unsecured and are reviewed periodically to determine whether their carrying value has become impaired. The Company considers the balances to be impaired if the utilization or refund of the balances becomes doubtful. The Company uses the aging method to estimate the allowance for uncollectible balances. The allowance is also based on management’s best estimate of specific losses on individual exposures, as well as a provision on historical trends of collections and utilizations. Actual amounts received or utilized may differ from management’s estimate of credit worthiness and the economic environment. Delinquent account balances are written off against allowance for doubtful accounts after management has determined that the likelihood of collection is not probable. The allowance for doubtful accounts amounted to nil as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Property, plant and equipment items are recorded at their historic cost, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. The Company calculates depreciation using the straight-line method, after consideration of the estimated residual values, over the following estimated useful lives:

Major improvements are capitalized and expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Construction in progress represents property, plant and equipment under construction or being installed. Costs include original cost, installation, construction and other direct costs. Interest expenses directly related to construction in progress would be capitalized. Construction in progress is transferred to the appropriate fixed asset account and depreciation commences when the asset has been substantially completed and placed in service.

Intangible assets are non-monetary assets without physical substance. These items are initially measured at cost and subsequently carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and impairment losses. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Amortization of finite-lived intangible assets is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives, which is as follows:

The Company accounts for impairment of long-lived assets in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360, Property, Plant and Equipment. (“ASC 360”). Long-lived assets consist primarily of property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets. In accordance with ASC 360, the Company evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets when it determines a triggering event has occurred, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. When indicators exist, recoverability of assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying value of the asset group to the estimated undiscounted future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. Examples of such triggering events include a significant disposal of a portion of such assets, and adverse change in the market involving the business employing the related assets. If such assets are determined not to be recoverable, the Company performs an analysis of the fair value of the asset group and will recognize an impairment loss when the fair value is less than the carrying amounts of such assets. The fair value, based on reasonable and supportable assumptions and projections, require subjective judgments. Depending on the assumptions and estimates used, the appraised fair value projected in the evaluation of long-lived assets can vary within a range of outcomes. The Company considers the likelihood of possible outcomes in determining the best estimate for the fair value of the assets. The Company did not record any impairment charges for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. There can be no assurance that future events will not have impact on company revenue or financial position which could result in impairment in the future.

In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 321, “Investment-Equity Securities,” the Company accounts for non-marketable securities on a prospective basis. Equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values and do not qualify for the net asset value practical expedient are eligible for the measurement alternative.

On March 3, 2011, Yada invested in Yangzhou Juyuan Guarantee Co., Ltd (“Juyuan”) and obtained 12% equity interest of Juyuan. For the Company’s passive and without significant influence or control equity investment in private company which do not have readily determinable fair values, the Company has elected the measurement alternative defined as cost, less impairment, plus or minus adjustments resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the Company. The investment is reviewed periodically to determine if its value has been impaired and adjustments are recorded as necessary in profit or loss for the period. On January 5, 2023, majority shareholder of Juyuan purchased 5% equity interest of Juyuan from Yada for a consideration of $360,839 (RMB 2.5 million).

Investments in entities in which the Company can exercise significant influence but does not own a majority equity interest or control are accounted for using the equity method of accounting in accordance with ASC 323, Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures (“ASC 323”). Under the equity method, the Company initially records its investment at cost and the difference between the cost of the equity investee and the amount of the underlying equity in the net assets of the equity investee is accounted for as if the investee were a consolidated subsidiary. The share of earnings or losses of the investee are recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. Equity method adjustments include the Company’s proportionate share of investee income or loss, adjustments to recognize certain differences between the Company’s carrying value and its equity in net assets of the investee at the date of investment, impairments, and other adjustments required by the equity method. The Company assesses its equity investment for other-than-temporary impairment by considering factors as well as all relevant and available information including, but not limited to, current economic and market conditions, the operating performance of the investees including current earnings trends, the general market conditions in the investee’s industry or geographic area, factors related to the investee’s ability to remain in business, such as the investee’s liquidity, debt ratios, and cash burn rate and other company-specific information.

Investments in equity securities without readily determinable fair values are measured at cost minus impairment adjusted by observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. These investments are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis when there are events or changes in circumstances that may have a significant adverse effect. An impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss equal to the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the investment. Prior to the adoption of ASU 2016-01 on January 1, 2019, these investments were accounted for using the cost method of accounting, measured at cost less other-than-temporary impairment.

On December 1, 2022, Huadong invested RMB 40 million into Jiangsu Zhongxiangxin International Science and Technology Innovation Park Co., Ltd. (“Zhongxiangxin”), and obtained 25% ownership interest of Zhongxiangxin. Zhongxiangxin manufactures and sells medical materials in the PRC. The Company accounted for the investments using equity method, because the Company has significant influence but does not own a majority equity interest or otherwise control over the equity investee. Under the equity method, the Company adjusts the carrying amount of the investment and recognizes investment income or loss for its share of the earnings or loss of the investee after the date of investment. When the Company’s share of losses in the equity investee equals or exceeds its interest in the equity investee, the Company does not recognize further losses, unless the Company has incurred obligations or made payments or guarantees on behalf of the equity investee. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the investment loss from Zhongxiangxin was $1,632 and nil.

The Company continually reviews its investments in equity investees to determine whether a decline in fair value below the carrying value is other-than-temporary. The primary factors the Company considers in its determination include the financial condition, operating performance and the prospects of the equity investee; other company specific information such as recent financing rounds; the geographic region, market and industry in which the equity investee operates; and the length of time that the fair value of the investment is below its carrying value. If the decline in fair value is deemed to be other-than-temporary, the carrying value of the equity investee is written down to fair value.

For the for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, no impairment indicators were identified of its investment in the private company was no impairment recorded.

Value-added taxes (“VAT”) collected from customers relating to product sales and remitted to governmental authorities are presented on a net basis. VAT collected from customers is excluded from revenue which is recorded in VAT payable. The Company is subject to a VAT rate of 13%. The VAT payable may be offset by VAT paid by the Company on raw materials and other materials included in the cost of producing or acquiring its finished products.

Parties are considered to be related to the Company if the parties, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, control, are controlled by, or are under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal with if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. The Company discloses all significant related party transactions.

Based on the requirements of ASC Topic 606, the Company recognizes revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company primarily sells its products to hospitals and medical equipment companies. Revenue is recognized when the following 5-step revenue recognition criteria are met:

Revenue from product sales is recognized at the point in time control of the products is transferred, generally upon customer receipt based upon the standard contract terms. Shipping and handling activities are considered to be fulfillment activities rather than promised services and are not, therefore, considered to be separate performance obligations. The Company’s sales terms provide no right of return outside of a standard quality policy and returns are generally not significant. Payment terms for product sales are generally set at 90 to 180 days after customer acceptance of the product.

The Company’s disaggregated revenues are represented by two categories which are type of goods and type of customers. 

Type of Goods 

Type of Customers

Earnings (loss) per ordinary share is calculated in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share. Basic earnings (loss) per ordinary share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per ordinary share is computed in accordance with the treasury stock method and based on the weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive ordinary share equivalents. Dilutive ordinary share equivalents are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per ordinary share if their effects would be anti-dilutive. There is no ordinary share equivalent issued to date.

ASC 220, Comprehensive Income (“ASC 220”) establishes rules for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components. ASC 220 requires that unrealized gains and losses on the Company’s foreign currency translation adjustments be included in comprehensive income (loss).

Research and development expenses are expensed as incurred. Research and development expenses were $1,460,376 and $1,642,204 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022, respectively.

Current income taxes are provided on the basis of net profit for financial reporting purposes, adjusted for income and expense items which are not assessable or deductible for income tax purposes, in accordance with the regulations of the relevant tax jurisdictions.

Deferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements, net operating loss carry forwards and credits. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Current income taxes are provided in accordance with the laws of the relevant taxing authorities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted rates expected to apply to taxable income in which temporary differences are expected to be reversed or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of changes in tax rates is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income in the period of the enactment of the change.

The Company considers positive and negative evidence when determining whether a portion or all of its deferred tax assets will more likely than not be realized. This assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of current and cumulative losses, forecasts of future profitability, the duration of statutory carry-forward periods, its experience with tax attributes expiring unused, and its tax planning strategies. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient future taxable income within the carry-forward periods provided for in the tax law and during the periods in which the temporary differences become deductible. When assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, the Company has considered possible sources of taxable income including (i) future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, (ii) future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards, (iii) future taxable income arising from implementing tax planning strategies, and (iv) specific known trend of profits expected to be reflected within the industry.

The Company recognizes a tax benefit associated with an uncertain tax position when, in its judgment, it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority. For a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the Company initially and subsequently measures the tax benefit as the largest amount that the Company judges to have a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority. The Company’s liability associated with unrecognized tax benefits is adjusted periodically due to changing circumstances, such as the progress of tax audits, case law developments and new or emerging legislation. Such adjustments are recognized entirely in the period in which they are identified. The Company’s effective tax rate includes the net impact of changes in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits and subsequent adjustments as considered appropriate by management. The Company classifies interest and penalties recognized on the liability for unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense.

FASB ASC 280, “Segment Reporting,” establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments on a basis consistent with the Company’s internal organizational structure as well as information of the Company’s business segments, geographical areas, segments and major customers. The Company uses the “management approach” in determining reportable operating segments. The management approach considers the internal organization and reporting used by the Company’s chief operating decision maker for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the source for determining the Company’s reportable segments. The chief operating decision maker is the Company’s president and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”). Management, including the chief operating decision maker, reviews operating results of different products at revenue level with no allocation of operating costs. Consequently, based on management’s assessment, the Company has determined that it has only one operating segment as defined by FASB ASC 280.

The Company has disclosed the type of revenue by government category as follows.

Class I, II, and III medical devices are defined by the National Medical Products Administration of China according to their risk levels under the Regulation on the Supervision and Administration of Medical Devices (2021 Revision), Article 6 as follows:

Furthermore, the Company has disclosed revenue by major product type included in each government category.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022, revenues and assets within PRC contributed over 99.1% of the Company’s total revenues and assets.

On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern,” and on March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized the outbreak as a “pandemic.” COVID-19 has had a severe and negative impact on the Chinese and the global economy and such impact persists as of the date of this annual report.

In fiscal year 2020, COVID-19 had a significant impact on our business and results of operations as the sales volume of masks rose sharply while the sales of products other than masks declined due to an overall decrease in market demand. In fiscal year 2021, with the stable control of the domestic epidemic in China, the market of masks was no longer in urgent shortage compared to the same period in 2020, and the production of epidemic prevention products resumed more normal production levels. In general, with the precise control of the epidemic in China, our production and operations have recovered smoothly, and the demand for other products has increased gradually. After the initial outbreak of COVID-19, from time to time, some instances of COVID-19 infections have emerged in various regions of China, including the infections caused by the Omicron variants in 2022. For example, a wave of infections caused by the Omicron variants emerged in Shanghai in 2022, and a series of restrictions and quarantines were implemented to contain the spread.

Many of the restrictive measures previously adopted by the PRC governments at various levels to control the spread of the COVID-19 virus have been revoked or replaced with more flexible measures since December 2022. While the revocation or replacement of the restrictive measures to contain the COVID-19 pandemic could have a positive impact on our normal operations, the extent of the impact on the Company’s future financial results will be dependent on future developments such as the length and severity of the crisis, the potential resurgence of the crisis, future government actions in response to the crisis and the overall impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global economy and capital markets, among many other factors, all of which remain highly uncertain and unpredictable. Given this uncertainty, the Company is currently unable to quantify the expected impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its future operations, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations if the current situation continues.

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, “‘Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2021-08”). This ASU requires entities to apply Topic 606 to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities in a business combination. The amendments improve comparability after the business combination by providing consistent recognition and measurement guidance for revenue contracts with customers acquired in a business combination and revenue contracts with customers not acquired in a business combination. The amendments are effective for the Company beginning after December 15, 2023, and are applied prospectively to business combinations that occur after the effective date. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2021-04 will have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03 Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions. The update clarifies that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. The update also clarifies that an entity cannot, as a separate unit of account, recognize and measure a contractual sale restriction. The update also requires certain additional disclosures for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for both interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. As an emerging growth company, the standard is effective for the Company for the year ended December 31, 2025. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
