Overview

 

Nisun International Enterprise Development Group Co., Ltd (“Nisun International” or the “Company”), formerly known as Hebron Technology Co., Ltd., was established under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (“BVI”) as a company limited by shares on May 29, 2012. On September 22, 2020, the Company changed its name from “Hebron Technology Co., Ltd.” to “Nisun International Enterprise Development Group Co., Ltd.” The Company is a holding company and conducts its business mainly through its subsidiaries, variable interest entities (“VIEs”) and subsidiaries of the VIEs in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”).

 

We are a technology-driven, integrated supply chain solutions and financial solutions services provider focused on transforming China’s corporate finance industry.

The equipment and engineering services were conducted by Hong Kong Xibolun Technology Limited (“HK Xibolun”) and its subsidiaries in the PRC, Wenzhou Xibolun Fluid Equipment Co., Limited and Zhejiang Xibolun Automation Project Technology Co., Ltd. (collectively, the “Xibolun Group”).

 

On November 30, 2020, to streamline our businesses, we transferred all of our equity interests in HK Xibolun to Wise Metro Development Co., Ltd. (“Wise Metro”), an entity controlled by our former Chief Executive Officer and former Chairman of the Board of Directors, Mr. Anyuan Sun, pursuant to a call option agreement we entered into with Wise Metro on April 16, 2019. Through the disposition of our equity in HK Xibolun, we divested our interests in the Xibolun Group and discontinued our legacy manufacturing and engineering business.

 

Our current business is comprised of three main services areas: SME financing solutions, supply chain solutions and other financing solutions. We provide technology-driven customized comprehensive financing solutions to SMEs to improve SMEs’ access to capital and financings.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic

 

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) was first identified and has since spread rapidly globally. The outbreak of COVID-19 has resulted in quarantines, travel restrictions, and the temporary closure of offices and business facilities globally. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic. The pandemic has caused significant volatility in the PRC and international financial markets. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and subsequent period up to the date of this report, the COVID-19 pandemic did not have a material negative impact on the Company’s business and results of operations. The extent of the impact on the Company’s second half of fiscal 2021 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, we are currently unable to quantify the expected impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s future operations, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations if the current situation continues. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in material adverse effects on the Company’s discontinued manufacturing and installation business. During the temporary business closure period in the Spring of 2020, employees had very limited access to the Company’s manufacturing facilities, and as a result, the Xibolun Group experienced difficulty providing manufacturing and installation services. In addition, due to the COVID-19 outbreak, some of the Company’s customers and suppliers experienced financial distress, delayed or defaulted on their payments, reduced the scale of their business, and suffered disruptions in their business, which in turn had caused further adverse impact on the manufacturing and installation business.

The Company commenced its supply chain solution business in January 2020. With a focus on finance and industry linkages, the Company aims to serve the upstream and downstream of the supply chain industry while facilitating supply-side sub-sector reform. Revenue generated from supply chain solutions includes financing and management services to downstream venders. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, revenue from the supply chain solutions was $2.3 million, increased by $2.1 million, or 1093.7%, from $0.2 million in the same period of last year primarily due to the Company’s expansion of its supply chain solution business in various industries such as the energy industry and retail industry.

 

Cost of revenue

 

Cost of revenue is primarily comprised of direct operational costs, direct costs associated with staff who design and manage the SME financing solutions, supply chain solutions and other financing solutions business and sales related taxes, office rent and expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, cost of revenue was $20.7 million, increased by $15.2 million, or 278.9%, from $5.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, primarily attributable to the increased revenue and more operational cost and staff cost incurred in the first half of fiscal 2021.

 

Gross Profit

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, gross profit was $18.3 million, increased by $10.3 million or 127.7% from $8.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, consistent with the growth in revenue. Gross margin was 46.9% and 59.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The decrease in gross margin in the first half of fiscal 2021 was primarily due to more direct cost and staff expenses incurred in the SME financing services.

The increase in the operating expenses was primarily attributable to an increase of $1.3 million in selling expenses due to more marketing and promotion in the first half of fiscal 2021 and an increase of $0.7 million in the general and administrative expense due to increased professional fees and staff compensation in the first half of fiscal 2021. The increased research and development expenses were primarily used to enhance and develop the functionalities of the Company’s supply chain solution and other financing service Apps and platform.

 

Net income

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company had net income of $10.5 million as compared to a net loss of $6.1 million in the comparable period in 2020, due to the significant increases in revenue and related gross profit from financing services. In the six months ended June 30,2020, due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the Company’s customers and suppliers in the equipment and engineering businesses experienced financial distress, delayed or defaulted on their payments, reduced the scale of their business, and suffered disruptions in their business, which in turn had caused an adverse impact on the Company’s equipment and engineering business. As a result, the Company had a net loss of $6.1 million, which was mainly due to an impairment loss of $9.9 million on the equipment and engineering business’s assets. The Company disposed the equipment and engineering business on November 30, 2020.  Since the equipment and engineering business is considered as discontinued operations, the results of operations related to the discontinued operations, including comparatives, were reported as income (loss) from discontinued operations.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Financial Condition and Cash Flow

 

Our principal sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations, and income from short-term investments. As of June 30, 2021, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $9.9 million, decreased from $22.2 million as of December 31, 2020. In addition, we had payable of approximately $30.5 million, which backed by the bank acceptance notes and due within one year. However, the Company’s short-term investment were $37.7 million as of June 30, 2021, significantly increased from $4.7 million as of December 31, 2020. In assessing our liquidity, the Company monitors and analyzes our cash on-hand and our operating and capital expenditure commitments. Our liquidity needs are to meet our working capital requirements, operating expenses, and capital expenditure obligations. Based on the above considerations, management is of the opinion that we have sufficient funds to meet our working capital requirements for the next twelve months from the date of this report.

 

Substantially all of our operations are conducted in China and all of our revenues, expenses, and cash are denominated in Renminbi (RMB). RMB is subject to the exchange control regulations in China and, as a result, we may have difficulty distributing any dividends outside of China due to PRC exchange control regulations that restrict its ability to convert RMB into U.S. Dollars.

We have not entered any derivative contracts that are indexed to our shares and classified as shareholders’ 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 or that engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with us.
