SHARING ECONOMY INTERNATIONAL INC. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL POSITION AND OPERATING RESULTS (Form 10-Q)

Overview

Historically, our main activities involved the design, manufacture and distribution of a range of proprietary high and low temperature dyeing and finishing machines for the textile industry, which ended in December 2019.



With the termination of the manufacturing businesses, we are actively exploring
other new ventures and opportunities that could contribute to our business
in
the future.


Given the termination of our manufacturing business, we continued to pursue what
we believe are high growth opportunities for the Company, particularly our new
business divisions focused on the development of sharing economy platforms and
related rental businesses within the company. These initiatives are still in an
early stage and are dependent in large part on availability of capital to fund
their future growth. We did not generate significant revenues from our sharing
economy business initiatives in 2020 or during the nine months ended September
30, 2021.

capturing and modeling technology is already used by some of Hong Kong's leading
property agencies to provide their clients with a truly immersive, first-hand
experience of a physical space while saving them time and money. According to
Goldman Sachs, the Real Estate virtual reality ("VR") industry is predicted to
reach $2.6 billion in 2025, supported by a potential user base of over 1.4

EC Advertising Limited


We started meeting with a number of potential clients there and anticipate that
this advertising company will confirm with them several marketing campaigns. In
order to maximize our exposure to the potential clients in Mainland China, we
are developing a strategic media plan which will cover major cities in Mainland
China such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. Major banks, real
estate developers and consumer products manufacturers and retailers are our
target clients. More importantly, our presence in Mainland China can facilitate
the rollout of franchise programs of our business units, which is one of the
revenue drivers for the Company.

Going forward, we will continue to target the technology and global sharing economy markets, developing online platforms and rental business partnerships that will drive the global development of sharing through cost-effective rental business models. .

Critical accounting conventions and estimates



Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations
are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us
to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities. We continually evaluate our estimates, including those related
to bad debts, inventories, recovery of long-lived assets, income taxes and the
valuation of equity transactions.



We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions
that we believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which
form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and
liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Any future changes
to these estimates and assumptions could cause a material change to our reported
amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ
from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the
following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and
estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

Accounts Receivable


We have a policy of reserving for uncollectible accounts based on our best
estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in our existing accounts
receivable. We periodically review our accounts receivable to determine whether
an allowance is necessary based on an analysis of past due accounts and other
factors that may indicate that the realization of an account may be in doubt.
Account balances deemed to be uncollectible are charged to the allowance after
all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery
is
considered remote.



As a basis for estimating the likelihood of collection has been established, we
consider a number of factors when determining reserves for uncollectable
accounts. We believe that we use a reasonably reliable methodology to estimate
the collectability of our accounts receivable. We review our allowances for
doubtful accounts on at least a quarterly basis. We also consider whether the
historical economic conditions are comparable to current economic conditions. If
the financial condition of our customers or other parties that we have business
relations with were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability
to make payments, additional allowances may be required.



                                       21





Property and Equipment


Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets. The estimated useful lives of the assets are as follows:



                                 Useful Life
Office equipment and furniture     5 Years
Vehicles                           5 Years
Vessels                            5 Years




The cost of repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred; major replacements
and improvements are capitalized. When assets are retired or disposed of, the
cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any
resulting gains or losses are included in the statements of income and
comprehensive income in the year of disposition.



We examine the possibility of decreases in the value of fixed assets when events
or changes in circumstances reflect the fact that their recorded value may not
be recoverable. We recognize an impairment loss when the sum of expected
undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset.



Stock-based Compensation



FASB's ASC Topic 718, Stock Compensation (formerly, FASB Statement 123R) ("ASC
Topic 718"), prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all stock-based
payment transactions in which employee and non-employee services are acquired.
The Company measures the cost of employee and non-employee services received in
exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value
of the award.



The Company estimates the fair value of each restricted stock award as of the
date of grant using the closing price as reported by the OTC Markets Group Inc.
(the "OTCM") on the date of grant. The fair value determined represents the cost
for the award and is recognized over the vesting period during which an employee
is required to provide service in exchange for the award. The Company accounts
for forfeitures of restricted stock as they occur.



                                       22





Currency Exchange Rates


Our functional currency is we dollar, and the functional currency of our operating subsidiaries is the RMB and the Hong Kong dollar.



Our exposure to foreign exchange risk primarily relates to currency gains or
losses resulting from timing differences between signing of sales contracts and
settling of these contracts. Furthermore, we translate monetary assets and
liabilities denominated in other currencies into RMB, the functional currency of
our operating subsidiary. Our results of operations and cash flow are translated
at average exchange rates during the period, and assets and liabilities are
translated at the unified exchange rate at the end of the period. Translation
adjustments resulting from this process are included in accumulated other
comprehensive income in our statement of shareholders' equity. We have not used
any forward contracts, currency options or borrowings to hedge our exposure to
foreign currency exchange risk. We cannot predict the impact of future exchange
rate fluctuations on our results of operations and may incur net foreign
currency losses in the future.



Our financial statements are expressed in U.S. dollars, which is the functional
currency of our parent company. The functional currency of our operating
subsidiaries and affiliates is RMB and the Hong Kong dollar. To the extent we
hold assets denominated in U.S. dollars, any appreciation of the RMB or HKD
against the U.S. dollar could result in a charge in our statement of operations
and a reduction in the value of our U.S. dollar denominated assets. On the other
hand, a decline in the value of RMB or HKD against the U.S. dollar could reduce
the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts of our financial results.



Recent accounting positions

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") 2019-12, "Simplifying the Accounting for
Income Taxes." The standard is expected to reduce cost and complexity related to
accounting for income taxes. The new guidance eliminates certain exceptions and
clarifies and amends existing guidance to promote consistent application among
reporting entities. Depending on the amended guidance within this standard,
adoption is to be applied on a retrospective, modified retrospective or
prospective basis. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2021,
and the adoption did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated
financial statements.


In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01, "Clarifying the Interactions
between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815." The new guidance clarifies the
interactions between accounting standards that apply to equity investments
without readily determinable fair values. Specifically, it addresses the
accounting for the transition into and out of the equity method. The Company
adopted this standard effective January 1, 2021 on a prospective basis, and the
adoption did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial
statements.


The Company has reviewed all of the accounting statements recently issued but not yet effective, and does not believe that the future adoption of such statements could have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations.

We have historically funded our capital expenditures through cash flow provided
by operations and bank loans. We intend to fund the cost by obtaining financing
mainly from local banking institutions with which we have done business in the
past. We believe that the relationships with local banks are in good standing
and we have not encountered difficulties in obtaining needed borrowings from
local banks.


Contractual obligations and off-balance sheet arrangements


Contractual Obligations


We have certain fixed contractual obligations and commitments that include
future estimated payments. Changes in our business needs, cancellation
provisions, changing interest rates, and other factors may result in actual
payments differing from the estimates. We cannot provide certainty regarding the
timing and amounts of payments. We have presented below a summary of the most
significant assumptions used in our determination of amounts presented in the
tables, in order to assist in the review of this information within the context
of our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.
The following tables summarize our contractual obligations as of September 30,
2021 (dollars in thousands), and the effect these obligations are expected to
have on our liquidity and cash flows in future periods.

Off-balance sheet provisions



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 our 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.
