Explanatory Note

 

Planet Green Holdings Corp. (the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No.1 on Form 10-Q/A for the six months ended June 30, 2024 (this “Form 10-Q/A”).

 

This Form 10-Q/A amends the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the six months ended June 30, 2024, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on August 14, 2024 (the “Original Filing”). This Form 10-Q/A is being filed to restate the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

 

The Management identified an error related to the disposal of Allinyson Ltd. that incorrectly increased the gain on disposal and reduced the additional paid in capital. The restatement reflected the correction of the above error, which increased additional paid-in capital, decreased gain on disposal, accumulated deficit and accumulated other comprehensive income in connection with disposal of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary Allinyson Ltd, on April 1, 2024. These adjustments were evaluated by management in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 1M, “Materiality” and management determined the effects of the restatement to be material.

 

The Company is filing this Form 10-Q/A to amend and restate the Original Filing with modification as necessary to reflect the restatement. The following items have been amended to reflect the restatement:

 

Part I, Item 1:

Part I, Item 2:

Part I, Item 4:

 

In addition, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have provided new certifications dated as of the date of this Form 10-Q/A (Exhibits 31.1, 31.2, 32.1 and 32.2).

 

Except as otherwise described above and as otherwise set forth in this Form 10-Q/A, this Form 10-Q/A does not amend, modify or update any other information contained in the Original Filing. This Form 10-Q/A does not purport to reflect any information or events subsequent to the Original Filing, except as expressly described herein. Accordingly, this Form 10-Q/A should be read in conjunction with our filings made with the SEC subsequent to the filing of the Original Filing. Among other things, forward-looking statements and risk factor disclosure in the Original 10-Q have not been revised to reflect events that occurred or facts that became known to the Company after the filing of the Original Filing, and such forward-looking statements and risk factors should be read in their historical context.

Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

 

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q/A contains forward-looking statements. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performances or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to the factors described in the section captioned “Risk Factors” described on the Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed by the Company on September 17, 2021, and as subsequently amended, together with the other information contained in this report. If any of the events descripted in the risk factors occur, our business, financial condition and operating results may be materially adversely affected. In that event, the trading price of our securities could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment.

Forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and are based on assumptions and are subject to risks and uncertainties. Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Also, forward-looking statements represent our estimates and assumptions only as of the date of this report. You should read this report completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect.

 

Except as required by law, we assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements publicly, or to update the reasons actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in any forward-looking statements, even if new information becomes available in the future.

F-9

 

 

Based on the foregoing contractual arrangements, The Company consolidates the accounts of Xianning Bozhuang Tea Products Co., Ltd, Jingshan Sanhe Luckysky New Energy Technologies Co., Ltd. and Jilin Chuangyuan Chemical Co., Ltd. in accordance with Regulation S-X-3A-02 promulgated by the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810-10, Consolidation.

 

Enterprise-Wide Disclosure

 

The Company’s chief operating decision-makers (i.e. chief executive officer and her direct reports) review financial information presented on a consolidated basis, accompanied by disaggregated information about revenues by business lines for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. There are no segment managers who are held accountable for operations, operating results and plans for levels or components below the consolidated unit level. Based on qualitative and quantitative criteria established by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 280, “Segment Reporting”, the Company considers itself to be operating within one reportable segment.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern; however, the Company has incurred a net loss of $3,156,608 from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024. As of June 30, 2024 the Company had an accumulated deficit of $143,526,095, a working capital deficit of $8,092,472, its net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $660,867.

 

These factors raise substantial doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Management’s plan for the Company’s continued existence is dependent upon management’s ability to execute the business plan, develop the plan to generate profit; additionally, Management may need to continue to rely on private placements or certain related parties to provide funding for investment, for working capital and general corporate purposes. If management is unable to execute its plan, the Company may become insolvent.

 

2. Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements

 

On September 30, 2024, the Company’s management, in consultation with its advisors, concluded that the Company’s previously issued unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained within the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2024 should no longer be relied upon due to an error related to the disposal of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary Allinyson Ltd, on April 1, 2024, and that we would restate such financial statements to make the necessary accounting corrections. Details of the restated condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, are provided below (“Restatement Items”).

 

Restatement Items

 

The Company incorrectly recognized income from discontinued operations in additional paid in capital in connection with disposal of Allinyson Ltd. The corrections resulted in a $7,407,267 decrease in income from discontinued operation, a $7,422,000 increase in additional paid-in capital, a $7,407,267 decrease in accumulated deficit and a $14,733 decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

Management has prepared the accompanying financial statements and these notes according to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). The Company maintains its general ledger and journals with the accrual method accounting.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

Details of the Subsidiaries of the Company as of June 30, 2024 are set below:

Management has eliminated all significant inter-company balances and transactions in preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Ownership interests of subsidiaries that the Company does not wholly own are accounted for as non-controlling interests.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain amounts on the prior-years’ consolidated balance sheets and statement of operations were reclassified to reflect discontinued operations, with no effect on ending stockholders’ equity.

 

Noncontrolling Interests

 

The noncontrolling interests of the Company represent the ownership stakes held by minority shareholders in the Company’s subsidiaries, and are presented separately from the equity attributable to the Company’s shareholders on the consolidated balance sheets. Noncontrolling interests in the Company’s results are disclosed on the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss as allocations of total income or loss for the year between noncontrolling interest holders and the Company’s shareholders.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The financial statements preparation requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Management evaluates estimates, including the allowance for credit losses of accounts receivable, amounts due from related parties and equity investments, the useful lives of our property and equipment, impairment of long-lived assets, long-term investments and goodwill, etc. Management bases the estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

F-17

 

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $558,933 compared to $270,317 as of December 31, 2023.

 

Accounts Receivable, Net

 

Accounts receivables are recognized and carried at the original invoice amount less allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An estimate for doubtful accounts is made when the amount is not expected to be collected. Delinquent amount balances are written off against the allowance for doubtful amounts after the management has determined that the likelihood of collection is not probable.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories consist of raw materials and finished goods, stated at the lower of cost or market value. Finished goods are comprised of direct materials, direct labor, inbound shipping costs, and allocated overhead. An annual impairment test will be performed on inventory, and any excess of the recoverable amount over the carrying amount will be recognized as impairment losses in the current period.

 

Advances and Prepayments to Suppliers

 

The Company makes an advance payment to suppliers and vendors for the procurement of raw materials. Upon physical receipt and inspection of the raw materials from suppliers, the applicable amount is reclassified from advances and prepayments to suppliers to inventory. At the end of each fiscal year, we undertake a thorough examination of prepaid expenses and contractual terms, analyze the causes of delayed receipt of corresponding valuable goods, calculate recoverable amounts using a probability-weighted average method for unrecoverable amounts, and make provisions for impairment as deemed necessary.

 

Plant and Equipment

 

Plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. The Company typically applies a salvage value of 0% to 10%. The estimated useful lives of the plant and equipment are as follows:

 

Buildings   20-40 years 
Machinery and equipment   1-10 years 
Motor vehicles   5-10 years 
Office equipment   5-20 years 

 

The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired are eliminated from the accounts, and any gain or loss is included in the Company’s results of operations. The costs of maintenance and repairs are recognized as incurred; significant renewals and betterments are capitalized.

 

F-18

 

 

Intangible Assets

 

Intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is provided over their useful lives, using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives of the intangible assets are as follows: 

 

Land use rights   50 years 
Software licenses   2 years 
Trademarks   10 years 

 

Construction in Progress and Prepayments for Equipment

 

Construction in progress and prepayments for equipment represent direct and indirect acquisition and construction costs for plants and fees of purchase and installation of related equipment. Amounts classified as construction in progress and prepayments for equipment are transferred to plant and equipment when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the assets for their intended use are completed. Depreciation is not provided for assets classified in this account.

 

Goodwill

 

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired in a business combination. The Company conducts an annual assessment of its goodwill for impairment. If the carrying value of its goodwill exceeds its fair value, then impairment has been incurred; accordingly, a charge to the Company’s operations results will be recognized during the period. Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed. Fair value is generally determined using a discounted expected future cash flow analysis.

 

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

 

The Company annually reviews its long-lived assets for impairment or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. Impairment may become obsolete from a difference in the industry, introduction of new technologies, or if the Company has inadequate working capital to utilize the long-lived assets to generate adequate profits. Impairment is present if the carrying amount of an asset is less than its expected future undiscounted cash flows.

 

If an asset is considered impaired, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of are reported lower the carrying amount or fair value fewer costs to selling.

 

Statutory Reserves

 

Statutory reserves refer to the amount appropriated from the net income following laws or regulations, which can be used to recover losses and increase capital, as approved, and are to be used to expand production or operations. PRC laws prescribe that an enterprise operating at a profit must appropriate and reserve, on an annual basis, an amount equal to 10% of its profit. Such an appropriation is necessary until the reserve reaches a maximum equal to 50% of the enterprise’s PRC registered capital.

 

F-19

 

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

The accompanying financial statements are presented in United States dollars. The functional currency of the Company is the Renminbi (RMB). The Company’s assets and liabilities are translated into United States dollars from RMB at year-end exchange rates. Its revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate during the period. Capital accounts are translated at their historical exchange rates when the capital transactions occurred.

 

   06/30/2024   12/31/2023    06/30/2023 
Period-end US$: CDN exchange rate   1.3634    1.3196    1.3205 
Period-end US$: RMB exchange rate   7.1268    7.0827    7.2258 
Period-end US$: HK exchange rate   7.8087    7.8157    7.8373 
Period average US$: CDN exchange rate   1.3515    1.3452    1.3480 
Period average US$: RMB exchange rate   7.1051    7.0467    6.9291 
Period average US$: HK exchange rate   7.8187    7.8282    7.8387 

 

The RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currencies, and all foreign exchange transactions must be conducted through authorized financial institutions.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company adopted ASC 606 “Revenue Recognition.” It recognizes revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.

 

The Company derives its revenues from selling explosion-proof skid-mounted refueling device, SF double-layer buried oil storage tank, high-grade synthetic fuel products, industrial formaldehyde solution, urea-formaldehyde pre-condensate (UFC), methylal, urea-formaldehyde glue for environment-friendly artificial board chemicals, food products like frozen fruits, beef & mutton products and vegetables and tea products. The Company recognizes product revenue at a point in time when the control of the products has been transferred to customers. The Company applies the following five steps to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as it fulfills its obligations under each of its agreements:

 

  identify the contract with a customer;

 

  identify the performance obligations in the contract;

 

  determine the transaction price;

 

  allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and;

 

  Recognize revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied.

 

F-20

 

 

Advertising

 

All advertising costs are expensed as incurred.

 

Shipping and Handling

 

All outbound shipping and handling costs are expensed as incurred.

 

Research and Development

 

All research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

 

Retirement Benefits

 

Retirement benefits in the form of mandatory government-sponsored defined contribution plans are charged to either expense as incurred or allocated to inventory as part of overhead.

  

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income tax using an asset and liability approach and recognizes deferred tax benefits in future years. Under the asset and liability approach, deferred taxes are provided for the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets. If it is more likely than not, these items will either expire before the Company can realize their benefits or uncertain future realization.

 

Comprehensive Income

 

The Company uses Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC Topic 220, “Reporting Comprehensive Income.” Comprehensive income is comprised of net income and all changes to the statements of stockholders’ equity, except the changes in paid-in capital and distributions to stockholders due to investments by stockholders.

 

Earnings Per Share

 

The Company computes earnings per share (“EPS”) following ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per share.” Basic EPS is measured as the income or loss available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS presents the dilutive effect on a per-share basis from the potential conversion of convertible securities or the exercise of options and or warrants; the dilutive impacts of potentially convertible securities are calculated using the as-if method; the potentially dilutive effect of options or warranties are computed using the treasury stock method. Potentially anti-dilutive securities (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from diluted EPS calculation.

 

F-21

 

 

Fair Value Measurements of Financial Instruments

 

The Company’s financial instruments, including cash and equivalents, accounts and other receivables, accounts and other payables, accrued liabilities, and short-term debt, have carrying amounts that approximate their fair values due to their short maturities. ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” requires disclosing the Company’s fair value of financial instruments. ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments,” defines fair value and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for receivables and current liabilities qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of their fair values because of the short period between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:

 

  Level 1 - inputs to the valuation methodology used quoted prices 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 information that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the financial instrument’s full term.

 

  Level 3 - inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

 

Lease

 

Effective December 31, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2016-02, “Leases” (Topic 842), and elected the practical expedients that do not require us to reassess: (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are, or contain, leases, (2) lease classification for any expired or existing leases and (3) initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases. For lease terms of twelve months or fewer, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election not to recognize lease assets and liabilities. The Company also adopted the practical expedient that allows lessees to treat the lease and non-lease components of a lease as a single lease component. 

 

Lease terms used to calculate the present value of lease payments generally do not include any options to extend, renew, or terminate the lease, as the Company does not have reasonable certainty at lease inception that these options will be exercised. The Company generally considers the economic life of its operating lease ROU assets to be comparable to the useful life of similar owned assets. The Company has elected the short-term lease exception, therefore operating lease ROU assets and liabilities do not include leases with a lease term of twelve months or less. Its leases generally do not provide a residual guarantee. The operating lease ROU asset also excludes lease incentives. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

The Company reviews the impairment of its ROU assets consistent with the approach applied for its other long-lived assets. The Company reviews the recoverability of its long-lived assets when events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. The assessment of possible impairment is based on its ability to recover the carrying value of the asset from the expected undiscounted future pre-tax cash flows of the related operations. The Company has elected to include the carrying amount of operating lease liabilities in any tested asset group and it includes the associated operating lease payments in the undiscounted future pre-tax cash flows.

 

As of June 30, 2024, the lease agreement with JSSH has lapsed and the company does not have any current lease agreements exceeding 12 months.

 

F-22

 

 

Equity Investments

 

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01 (“ASU 2016-01”), Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which, among other things, generally requires companies to measure investments in other entities, except those accounted for under the equity method, at fair value and to recognize any changes in fair value in net income. ASU 2016-01 also simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment. ASU 2016-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and the guidance should be applied by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The guidance related to equity investments without readily determinable fair values (including disclosure requirements) is applied prospectively to equity investments that exist as of the date of adoption. ASU 2016-01, which the Company adopted on January 1, 2018, did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

 

Investments in entities over which the Company does not have significant influence are recorded as equity investments and are accounted for either at fair value with any changes recognized in net income, or for those without readily determinable fair values, at cost less impairment, adjusted for subsequent observable price changes. Under the equity method, the Company’s share of the post-acquisition profits or losses of equity investments is recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of comprehensive income; and the Company’s share of post-acquisition movements in equity is recognized in equity in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Unrealized gains on transactions between the Company and an entity in which the Company has recorded an equity investment are eliminated to the extent of the Company’s interest in the entity. To the extent of the Company’s interest in the investment, unrealized losses are eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. When the Company’s share of losses in an entity in which the Company has recorded an equity investment equals or exceeds its interest in the entity, the Company does not recognize further losses, unless the Company has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the equity investee.

  

Commitments and Contingencies 

 

From time to time, the Company is a party to various legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. The majority of these claims and proceedings related to or arise from commercial disputes. The Company first determine whether a loss from a claim is probable, and if it is reasonable to estimate the potential loss. The Company accrues costs associated with these matters when they become probable, and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred. Also, the Company disclose a range of possible losses, if a loss from a claim is probable but the amount of loss cannot be reasonably estimated, which is in line with the applicable requirements of Accounting Standard Codification 450. The Company’s management does not expect any liability from the disposition of such claims and litigation individually or in the aggregate would have a material adverse impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

 

F-23

 

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, which is an update to ASU Update No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which introduced the expected credit losses methodology for the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost basis, replacing the previous incurred loss methodology. The amendments in Update 2016-13 added Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, and made several consequential amendments to the Codification. Update 2016-13 also modified the accounting for available-for-sale debt securities, which must be individually assessed for credit losses when fair value is less than the amortized cost basis, in accordance with Subtopic 326-30, Financial Instruments— Credit Losses—Available-for-Sale Debt Securities. The amendments in this Update address those stakeholders’ concerns by providing an option to irrevocably elect the fair value option for certain financial assets previously measured at amortized cost basis. For those entities, the targeted transition relief will increase comparability of financial statement information by providing an option to align measurement methodologies for similar financial assets. Furthermore, the targeted transition relief also may reduce the costs for some entities to comply with the amendments in Update 2016-13 while still providing financial statement users with decision-useful information. ASU 2019-05 is effective for the Company for annual and interim reporting periods beginning January 1st, 2020. The Company has implemented the new standard, and as of June 30, 2024, there was no material effect of this current standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

A VIE is an entity that has either a total equity investment that is insufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support or whose equity investors lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest, such as through voting rights, right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity or obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity. If any, the variable interest holder with a controlling financial interest in a VIE is deemed the primary beneficiary and must consolidate the VIE. PLAG WOFE is deemed to have the controlling financial interest and be the primary beneficiary of Jilin Chuangyuan Chemical Co., Ltd because it has both of the following characteristics:

 

1) The power to direct activities at Jilin Chuangyuan Chemical Co., Ltd. that most significantly impact such entity’s economic performance, and

 

2) The obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive benefits from Jilin Chuangyuan Chemical Co., Ltd that could potentially be significant to such entity. Under the Contractual Arrangements, Jilin Chuangyuan Chemical Co., Ltd pay service fees equal to all of its net income to PLAG WFOE. At the same time, PLAG WFOE is obligated to absorb all of the Jilin Chuangyuan Chemical Co., Ltd.’s losses. The Contractual Arrangements are designed to operate Jilin Chuangyuan Chemical Co., Ltd for the benefit of PLAG WFOE and ultimately, the Company. Accordingly, the accounts of Jilin Chuangyuan Chemical Co., Ltd are consolidated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. In addition, those financial positions and results of operations are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

17. Income Taxes

 

United States

 

On December 22, 2017, the “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act” (the “Act”) was enacted. Under the provisions of the Act, the U.S. corporate tax rate decreased from 34% to 21%. As the Company has a December 31 fiscal year-end, the lower corporate income tax rate will be phased in, resulting in a U.S. statutory federal rate of 21% for the Company’s fiscal year ending June 30, 2024. Accordingly, the Company has remeasured the Company’s deferred tax assets on net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) in the U.S at the lower enacted cooperated tax rate of 21%. However, this remeasurement has no effect on the Company’s income tax expenses as the Company has provided a 100% valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets previously.

 

F-30

 

 

Additionally, the Act imposes a one-time transition tax on deemed repatriation of historical earnings of foreign subsidiaries, and future foreign earnings are subject to U.S. taxation. The change in rate has caused the Company to remeasure all U.S. deferred income tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences and NOLs and recorded one time income tax payable to be paid in 8 years. However, this one-time transition tax has no effect on the Company’s income tax expenses as the Company has no undistributed foreign earnings prior to March 31, 2024 which the Company has foreign cumulative losses at June 30, 2024.

 

British Virgin Islands

 

Planet Green Holdings Corporation BVI is incorporated in the British Virgin Islands and is not subject to tax on income or capital gains under current British Virgin Islands law. In addition, upon payments of dividends by these entities to their shareholders, no British Virgin Islands withholding tax will be imposed.

 

Hong Kong

 

Lucky Sky Planet Green Holdings Co., Limited (H.K.) is incorporated in Hong Kong and is subject to Hong Kong Profits Tax on the taxable income as reported in its statutory financial statements adjusted in accordance with relevant Hong Kong tax laws. The applicable tax rate is 16.5% in Hong Kong. The Company did not make any provisions for Hong Kong profit tax as there were no assessable profits derived from or earned in Hong Kong since inception. Under Hong Kong tax law, Lucky Sky Planet Green Holdings Co., Limited (H.K.) is exempted from income tax on its foreign-derived income and there are no withholding taxes in Hong Kong on remittance of dividends.

 

PRC

 

The Company PRC subsidiaries and VIEs and their controlled entities are governed by the income tax laws of the PRC and the income tax provision in respect to operations in the PRC is calculated at the applicable tax rates on the taxable income for the periods based on existing legislation, interpretations and practices in respect thereof. Under the Enterprise Income Tax Laws of the PRC, Chinese enterprises are subject to income tax at a rate of 25% after appropriate tax adjustments.

The Company evaluated the provisions of ASC 740 related to the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how a company should recognize, present, and disclose uncertain positions that the company has taken or expects to take in its tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. Differences between tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and the net benefit recognized and measured pursuant to the interpretation are referred to as “unrecognized benefits.” A liability is recognized (or amount of net operating loss carry forward or amount of tax refundable is reduced) for unrecognized tax benefit because it represents an enterprise’s potential future obligation to the taxing authority for a tax position that was not recognized as a result of applying the provisions of ASC 740.

 

Reconciliation of effective income tax rate from continuing operations is as follows for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:

 

   6/30/2024   6/30/2023 
U.S. federal statutory income tax rate   21%   21%
