Quarterly Report for Quarter Ending March 31, 2025 (Form 10-Q)

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements and the notes presented herein. In addition to historical information, the following Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ significantly from those expressed, implied or anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors discussed herein and any other periodic reports filed and to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. For more information regarding the risks and uncertainties of our business, See "Risk Factors", "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statement."

Overview

The Company is a Nevada holding company with no material operations of its own. We conduct substantially all of our operations through our subsidiary in mainland China, which we control through BVI Wetouch. See "Item 1. Business - Corporate History and Structure" for more details.

Because our operations are primarily in China, we are subject to complex and evolving PRC laws and regulations. These include restrictions on capital flows, dividend payments, currency conversion, cybersecurity and data privacy, and governmental discretion over overseas securities offerings. These risks could materially affect our ability to transfer funds, conduct offerings, or continue operations in their current form. See "Item 1A. Risk Factors-Risks Related to Doing Business in China."

As of March 31, 2025, the Company has contributed RMB 348.0 million (US$47.7 million) to its PRC subsidiary through intermediate holding companies, which were accounted for as long-term investments. These funds have been used by our PRC subsidiary in its operations. To date, no dividends or other distributions have been made by our PRC subsidiary to the Company. We may rely on future distributions from our PRC subsidiary to fund our holding company obligations, subject to PRC law and restrictions. For more details, see "Item 1A. Risk Factors-Risks Related to Doing Business in China-As a holding company, we conduct our operations primarily through our PRC subsidiary and face risks and uncertainties associated with this structure."

Under current PRC law, dividend payments by our PRC subsidiary are limited to accumulated profits determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and are subject to statutory reserve requirements. Dividends to the Company are also subject to withholding tax, generally 10%, but reduced to 5% if treaty conditions are met. There is no assurance that the reduced rate will apply. For more details, see "Item 1A. Risk Factors-Risks Related to Doing Business in China-Uncertainties with respect to the PRC legal system, including the enforcement of laws and changes in laws and regulations, could adversely affect us and limit the legal protections available."

We currently do not have cash management policies dictating how funds are transferred between the Company and its subsidiaries. Most of our cash is maintained in Renminbi in mainland China and may be subject to PRC restrictions on outbound transfers. For details, see "Item 1A. Risk Factors - Risks Related to Doing Business in China - Governmental control of currency conversion may limit our ability to utilize our revenues effectively and affect the value of your investment."

Through our wholly owned subsidiaries, BVI Wetouch, HK Wetouch, and Sichuan Vtouch, we are engaged in the research, development, manufacturing, sales and servicing of medium- to large-sized projected capacitive touchscreens. We are specialized in large-format touchscreens, which are developed and designed for a wide variety of markets and used in the financial terminals, automotive, POS, gaming, lottery, medical, HMI, and other specialized industries. Our product portfolio comprises medium- to large-sized projected capacitive touchscreens ranging from 7.0 inch to 42 inch screens.

We generate revenues through sales of our various touchscreen products.

We sell our touchscreen products both domestically in China and internationally, covering major areas in Mainland China, including but not limited to the eastern, southern, northern and southwest regions of Mainland China, Taiwan, South Korea, and Germany. We believe that we have established a strong and diversified client base. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, our domestic sales accounted for approximately 67.3% and 63.1%, respectively, of our revenues, and our international sales accounted for approximately 32.7% and 36.9%, respectively, of our revenues.

Since our incorporation, we have effected two reverse stock splits of our common stock, including a 1-for-70 reverse split in 2020 and a 1-for-20 reverse split in 2023, and all share and per share information in this Quarterly Report has been retroactively adjusted to reflect these actions. For more details, see "Item 1. Business - Corporate History and Structure - Reverse Stock Splits" of the 2024 Form 10-K.

Construction of our new facility

We have been actively engaged in the construction of our new production facilities and office buildings in Chengdu Medicine City (Technology Park), Wenjiang District, Chengdu, Sichuan Province, Peoples's Republic of China since the summer of 2023. The Company has planned to increase the scope of facility construction by adding a touch machine construction area, to be completed by the end of 2025.

As of the date of this Quarterly Report, we estimate to finish the building construction by the end of 2025 and commence production in the second quarter of 2026. In consideration of the capital requirements for the new facility construction, we plan to fund the project primarily with our existing cash on hand, which totaled approximately $106.4 million as of March 31, 2025, and cash flows generated from operations, and we may seek additional financing if needed to support the timely completion of the project.

Highlights for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025 include:

Revenues were $15.3 million, an increase of 2.7% compared to $14.9 million in the first quarter of 2024

(i) PRC Domestic Market

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, revenue from the PRC domestic market increased by $0.9 million, or 9.6%, as a combined result of: (i) an increase of 17.7% in sales volume, partially offset by (ii) a decrease of 5.3% in the average RMB selling price of our products, and partially offset by 1.2% negative impact from exchange rate due to depreciation of RMB against US dollars, compared with that of the same period of last year.

Net Income

As a result of the above factors, we had a net income of $2.5 million in the first quarter of 2025 compared to a net income of $0.6 million in the same quarter of 2024.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Historically, our primary uses of cash have been to finance working capital needs. We expect to be able to meet our needs to fund operations, capital expenditures, and other commitments over the next 12 months primarily with our cash and cash equivalents, operating cash flows and bank borrowings.

However, we may require additional cash resources due to changes in business conditions or other future developments. If these sources prove insufficient to meet our cash requirements, we may seek to raise additional funds through the sale of equity or debt securities or by obtaining a credit facility. Any issuance of additional equity or equity-linked securities could dilute the ownership interests of existing shareholders, while the incurrence of additional indebtedness would increase our debt service obligations and could subject us to operating and financial covenants that may restrict our business activities. There can be no assurance that financing will be available in the necessary amounts, on terms acceptable to us, or at all.

As of March 31, 2025, we had current assets of $119.8 million, consisting of $106.4 million in cash, $11.1 million in accounts receivable, $0.1 million in inventories, and $2.2 million in prepaid expenses and other current assets Our current liabilities as of March 31, 2025 were $5.4 million, which is comprised of $1.6 million in accounts payable, $0.4 million in amounts due to a related party, $1.3 million in income tax payable, $1.6 million in accrued expenses and other current liabilities. and $0.6 million in operating lease liabilities, current portion. We also had $0.4 million in operating lease liabilities, non- current as of March 31, 2025.
