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.
On
May 18, 2018, the Company incorporated Planet Green Holdings Corporation, a limited company incorporated in the British Virgin
Islands. On September 27, 2018, the Company acquired Lucky Sky HK and Shanghai Xunyang, a wholly foreign-owned enterprise incorporated
in Shanghai, China. The formation and acquisition of these companies was to implement the Company’s restructuring plans.
On
August 12, 2019, through Lucky Sky HK, the Company established Lucky Sky Petrochemical, a wholly foreign-owned enterprise incorporated
in Xianning City, Hubei Province, China.
On
December 20, 2019, the Company sold 100% of equity interest in Shanghai Xunyang.
On
June 5, 2020, the Company acquired all of the outstanding equity interests of Fast Approach, a corporation incorporated under
the laws of Canada and in the business of operation of a demand side platform targeting the Chinese education market in North
America.
Consolidation
of Variable Interest Entities
VIEs
are entities that lack sufficient equity to finance their activities without additional financial support from other parties or
whose equity holders lack adequate decision-making ability. Any VIE with which the Company is involved must be evaluated to determine
the primary beneficiary of the risks and rewards of the VIE. Management makes ongoing reassessments of whether the Company is
the primary beneficiary of its VIEs.
On
September 27, 2018, through Shanghai Xunyang Internet Technology Co. Ltd. (“Shanghai Xunyang”), the Company entered
into exclusive arrangements with Beijing Lorain Co., Ltd., Luotian Lorain Co., Ltd., Shandong Greenpia Foodstuff Co., Ltd., Taishan
Muren Agriculture Co. Ltd. (“Taishan Muren”) and Lorain Foodstuff (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. (“Shenzhen Lorain”)
and its shareholders that give the Company the ability to substantially influence Shenzhen Lorain’s daily operations and
financial affairs and appoint its senior executives. The Company is considered the primary beneficiary of these companies and
it consolidates its accounts as a VIE.
On
May 9, 2019, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Xianning Bozhuang
Tea Products Co., Ltd. (“Xianning Bozhuang”), a company incorporated in China engaging in the sale of tea products,
and its shareholders (“Bozhuang Shareholders”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company issued an aggregate
of 1,080,000 shares of its common stock to the Bozhuang Shareholders, in exchange for Bozhuang Shareholders’ agreement to
enter into, and their agreement to cause Xianning Bozhuang to enter into, certain VIE Agreements with Shanghai Xunyang, through
which Shanghai Xunyang shall have the right to control, manage and operate Xianning Bozhuang in return for a service fee approximately
equal to 100% of Xianning Bozhuang’s net income (“Bozhuang Acquisition”). On May 14, 2019, Shanghai Xunyang
entered into a series of VIE Agreements with Xianning Bozhuang and Bozhuang Shareholders. The VIE Agreements are designed to provide
Shanghai Xunyang with the power, rights and obligations equivalent in all material respects to those it would possess as the sole
equity holder of Xianning Bozhuang, including absolute rights to control the management, operations, assets, property and revenue
of Xianning Bozhuang. The Bozhuang Acquisition closed on May 14, 2019. Starting on May 14, 2019, the Company’s business
activities added the production line of green tea and black tea and sales of tea products, of which business activities are carried
out in Xianning City, Huibei Province, China. The Company consolidated Xianning Bozhuang’s accounts as its VIE.
Planet Green Holdings Corp.
Notes to Financial Statements
On
December 20, 2019, through Lucky Sky Petrochemical Technology (Xianning) Co., Ltd. (“WFOE”), the Company entered into
exclusive VIE agreements with Taishan Muren, Xianning Bozhuang and Shenzhen Lorain and their shareholders that give the Company
the ability to substantially influence those companies’ daily operations and financial affairs and appoint their senior

as VIEs. The VIE agreements are described in detail below:
Consultation
and Service Agreement
Pursuant
to the Consultation and Service Agreement, WFOE has the exclusive right to provide consultation and services to the operating
entities in China in the area of business management, human resource, technology and intellectual property rights. WFOE exclusively

prior written notice.
Business
Cooperation Agreement
Pursuant
to the Business Cooperation Agreement, WFOE has the exclusive right to provide complete technical support, business support and
related consulting services, including but not limited to technical services, business consultations, equipment or property leasing,
marketing consultancy, system integration, product research and development, and system maintenance. WFOE exclusively owns any
intellectual property rights arising from the performance of this Business Cooperation Agreement. The rate of service fees may
be adjusted based on the services rendered by WFOE in that month and the operational needs of the operating entities. The Business

or in whole at WFOE’s sole and absolute discretion. The purchase price shall be the lowest price allowed by PRC laws. The
Equity Option Agreements shall remain effective until all the equity interest owned by each operating entities shareholder has
been legally transferred to WFOE or its designee(s).

voted in the shareholders’ meeting. The term of each Voting Rights Proxy Agreement is 20 years. WOFE has the right to extend
each Voting Proxy Agreement by giving written notification.
Use
of estimates
The
preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and 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 makes these estimates using the best information
available at the time the estimates are made; however, actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Notes

Cash
and cash equivalents
The
Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Investment
securities
The
Company classifies securities it holds for investment purposes into trading or available-for-sale. Trading securities are bought
and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term. All securities not included in trading securities are classified
as available-for-sale.
Trading
and available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value. Unrealized holding gains and losses on trading securities are included
in the net income. Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of the related tax effect, on available for sale securities are excluded
from net income and are reported as a separate component of other comprehensive income until realized. Realized gains and losses
from the sale of available-for-sale securities are determined on a specific-identification basis.
A
decline in the market value of any available-for-sale security below cost that is deemed to be other-than-temporary results in
a reduction in carrying amount to fair value. The impairment is charged as an expense to the statement of income and comprehensive
income and a new cost basis for the security is established. To determine whether impairment is other-than-temporary, the Company
considers whether it has the ability and intent to hold the investment until a market price recovery and considers whether evidence
indicating the cost of the investment is recoverable outweighs evidence to the contrary. Evidence considered in this assessment
includes the reasons for the impairment, the severity and duration of the impairment, changes in value subsequent to year end,
and forecasted performance of the investee.
Premiums
and discounts are amortized or accreted over the life of the related available-for-sale security as an adjustment to yield using
the effective-interest method. Dividend and interest income are recognized when earned.
Trade
receivables
Trade
receivables are recognized and carried at the original invoice amount less allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An estimate
for doubtful accounts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written off as incurred.
Inventories
Inventories
consist of raw materials and finished goods which are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Finished goods are comprised
of direct materials, direct labor, inbound shipping costs, and allocated overhead. The Company applies the weighted average cost
method to its inventory.
Advances
and prepayments to suppliers
The
Company makes 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.
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
|
Landscaping,
plant and tree
|
|

years

The
cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired are eliminated from the accounts, and any gain or
loss are included in the Company’s results of operations. The costs of maintenance and repairs are recognized to expenses
as incurred; significant renewals and betterments are capitalized.
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 costs
of acquisition 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 incurred; accordingly, a charge to the Company’s results of operations will be recognized during
the period. Fair value is generally determined using a discounted expected future cash flow analysis.
Accounting
for the 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 be the result of becoming obsolete from a change in the industry,
introduction of new technologies, or if the Company has inadequate working capital to utilize the long-lived assets to generate
the 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 are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.
Statutory
reserves
Statutory
reserves are referring to the amount appropriated from the net income in accordance with 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 that is equal to 50% of the enterprise’s PRC registered
capital.
Foreign
currency translation
The
accompanying financial statements are presented in United States dollars. The functional currencies of the Company are the Renminbi
(“RMB”). The Company’s assets and liabilities are translated into United States dollars from RMB at year-end
exchange rates, and 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.

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”, and 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 the sale of fresh foods, spices, convenience foods and tea products. The Company applies the
following five steps in order to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as it fulfils 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.
|
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 the either expenses 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 allows for recognition of 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 is able to realize their benefits, or that future realization is uncertain.
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”) in accordance with 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 effects of potentially convertible securities are calculated using the
as-if method; the potentially dilutive effect of options or warrants are calculated using the treasury stock method. Securities
that are potentially an anti-dilutive effect (i.e. those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded
from the calculation of diluted EPS.

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 disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments
held by the Company. 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 each qualify as financial instruments
and are a reasonable estimate of their fair values because of the short period of time 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 inputs
that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial
instrument.
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
Level
3 - inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
|
The
Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities
from Equity,” and ASC 815.
Commitments
and contingencies
Liabilities
for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines and penalties and other sources are recorded when it
is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment can be reasonably estimated.
Unaudited
interim financial information
These
unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial
reporting and the rules and regulations of the SEC that permit reduced disclosure for interim periods. Therefore, certain information
and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of the financial
position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented have been made. The results of operations for the interim
periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020.
The
consolidated balance sheets and certain comparative information as of December 31, 2019 are derived from the audited consolidated
financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2019 (“2019 Annual Financial Statements”),
included in the Company’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. These unaudited interim
condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 2019 Annual Financial Statements.
Recent accounting pronouncements
In February 2018, the FASB issued
ASU 2018-02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated
Other Comprehensive Income. The amendments in this Update affect any entity that is required to apply the provisions of Topic 220,
Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income, and has items of other comprehensive income for which the related tax
effects are presented in other comprehensive income as required by GAAP. The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the amendments
in this Update is permitted, including adoption in any interim period, (1) for public business entities for reporting periods for
which financial statements have not yet been issued and (2) for all other entities for reporting periods for which financial statements
have not yet been made available for issuance. The amendments in this Update should be applied either in the period of adoption
or retrospectively to each period (or periods) in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate
in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is recognized. The Company does not believe the adoption of this ASU would have a material effect
on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued
ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), – Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements
for Fair Value Measurement,” which makes a number of changes meant to add, modify or remove certain disclosure requirements
associated with the movement amongst or hierarchy associated with Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 fair value measurements. The amendments
in this update modify the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements based on the concepts in FASB Concepts Statement,
Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting—Chapter 8: Notes to Financial Statements, including the consideration of costs
and benefits. The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable
inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied
prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments
should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. The amendments are effective for all entities
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted.
The Company does not believe the adoption of this ASU would have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated
financial statements.
The Company is evaluating the
timing and the impact of the aforesaid guidance on the financial statements.

Effective January 1, 2019, the
Company adopted ASU 2016-02, “Leases” (Topic 842), and elected the package of practical expedients that does 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. The Company adopted the practical expedient
that allows lessees to treat the lease and non-lease components of a lease as a single lease component. The impact of the adoption
on January 1, 2019 increased the right-of-uses and lease liabilities by approximately $421,382.
Upon adoption of ASU 2016-02,
the Company recognized lease labilities of approximately $421,382, with corresponding right-of-use assets of the same amount based
on the present value of the future minimum rental payments of the new lease, using an effective interest rate of 5.0025%, which
is determined using an incremental borrowing rate.
The weighted average remaining
lease term of its existing leases is 13.5 years.
The Company’s lease agreements
do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.
For the three months ended March
31, 2020 and 2019, rent expenses amounted to $ 11,091 and $11,549, respectively.

Notes to Financial Statements
|

are made with banks located in the PRC. They do not carry federal deposit insurance and may be subject to loss of the banks become
insolvent.
Since the Company’s inception,
the age of account receivables has been less than one year indicating that the Company is subject to minimal risk borne from credit
extended to customers.

C.
|
Economic and political risks
|
The Company’s operations
are conducted in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations may be influenced
by changes in the political, economic, and legal environments in the PRC.
The Company’s operations
in the PRC are subject to special considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America
and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environment and foreign
currency exchange. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in the political and social conditions in the
PRC, and by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion,
remittances abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.
The Company has procured environmental
licenses required by the PRC government. The Company has both a water treatment facility for water used in its production process
and secure transportation to remove waste off site. In the event of an accident, the Company has purchased insurance to cover potential
damage to employees, equipment, and local environment.
Management of the Company monitors
changes in prices levels. Historically inflation has not materially impacted the Company’s financial statements; however,
significant increases in the price of raw materials and labor that cannot be passed to the Company’s customers could adversely
impact the Company’s results of operations.
On May 18, 2020, Hongxiang Yu
resigned as a director of the Company and the Board of Directors of the Company appointed Lili Hu, the Chief Financial Officer
of the Company, to serve as a member of the Board, effective immediately.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION
AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OVERVIEW
Overview
We are headquartered in Gaithersburg, MD. After a series of
acquisitions and dispositions in 2018 and 2019, our primary business, which is carried out by Taishan Muren and Xianning Bozhuang,
is:
|
●
|
to develop and market products, such as sauces and tea products, from herbs and spices, in China; and
|
|
●
|
to sell brown rice syrup and tea bags developed using our unique recipes in China.

Recent Development
Acquisition of Fast Approach
On June 5, 2020, we issued an aggregate
of 1,800,000 shares of our common stock to acquire all of the outstanding equity interest of Fast Approach Inc., a corporation
incorporated under the laws of Canada and in the business of operating a demand side platform targeting the Chinese education market
in North America.
Coronavirus (COVID-19) Update
Recently, there is an ongoing outbreak
of a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) first identified in China and has since spread rapidly globally. The pandemic has resulted
in quarantines, travel restrictions, and the temporary closure of stores and business facilities globally for the past few months.
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 as a pandemic. Given the rapidly expanding nature of the COVID-19
pandemic, and because substantially all of our business operations and our workforce are concentrated in China, our business, results
of operations and financial condition have been and will continue to be adversely affected. Potential impact to our results of
operations will also depend on future developments and new information that may emerge regarding the duration and severity of the
COVID-19 and the actions taken by government authorities and other entities to contain the COVID-19 or mitigate its impact, almost
all of which are beyond our control.
The impacts of COVID-19 on our business,
financial condition, and results of operations include, but are not limited to, the following:
|
●
|
We temporally closed our offices and production facilities to adhere to the policy from February 2020 until April 2020, as required by relevant PRC regulatory authorities. Our offices are slowly reopening pursuant to local guidelines. In the first quarter of 2020, the COVID-19 outbreak has caused disruptions in our manufacturing operations, which have resulted in delays in the shipment of products to certain of our customers.
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
Some of our employees were in mandatory self-quarantine from January 2020 to April 2020.
|
|
●
|
Our customers have been negatively impacted by the outbreak, which may reduce the demand of our products. As a result, our revenue and income may be negatively impacted in 2020.
|
|
●
|
The situation may worsen if the COVID-19 pandemic continues. We will continue to closely monitor our collections throughout 2020.
|
A prolonged disruption or any further unforeseen
delay in our operations of the manufacturing, delivery and assembly process within any of our production facilities could continue
to result in delays in the shipment of products to our customers, increased costs and reduced revenue.
We cannot foresee whether the outbreak
of COVID-19 will be effectively contained, nor can we predict the severity and duration of its impact. If the outbreak of COVID-19
is not effectively and timely controlled, our business operations and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected
as a result of the deteriorating market outlook, the slowdown in regional and national economic growth, weakened liquidity and
financial condition of our customers or other factors that we cannot foresee. Any of these factors and other factors beyond our
control could have an adverse effect on the overall business environment, cause uncertainties in the regions where we conduct business,
cause our business to suffer in ways that we cannot predict and materially and adversely impact our business, financial condition
and results of operations.

Revenue
Net Revenues. Our net revenues for
the three months ended March 31, 2020 amounted to $0.84 million, which represents a decrease of approximately $0.24 million, or
23%, from $1.08 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. This decrease was mainly due to a reduction in demand of our
products caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Cost of Revenues. During the three
months ended March 31, 2020, we experienced an increase in cost of revenue of $0.07 million or 9%, in comparison to the three months
ended March 31, 2019, from approximately $0.78 million to $0.85 million. This increase was mainly due to an increase in the cost
of the raw materials caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Gross Profit. Our gross profit decreased
by $0.32 million, or 106%, to negative $0.02 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 from $0.30 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2019. This decrease was mainly due to the reasons mentioned above.
Operating Expenses
Selling and Marketing Expenses.
Our selling and marketing expenses increased by $0.008 million, or 100%, to $0.008 million for the three months ended March 31,
2020 from $0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. This increase was mainly due to our effort to expand our business.
General and Administrative Expenses.
We experienced an increase in general and administrative expense of $0.19 million from $0.24 million to approximately $0.42
million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019. This cost increase was mainly
due to the increase in intermediary service fees.
Net Income
Our net income decreased by $0.59 million
or 7,463%, to $0.60 million net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2020 from $0.008 million net income for the three months
ended March 31, 2019. Such decrease was primarily the result of the impact of COVID-19, resulting in lower revenue and thus lower
net income.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
In the reporting period in 2020, our primary
sources of financing have been cash generated from operations and private placements. We raised funds in the following private
placement in the first quarter of 2020:
On February 10, 2020, we entered into a
securities purchase agreement with Mengru Xu and Zhichao Du, pursuant to which Ms. Xu and Mr. Du agreed to invest an aggregate
of $3.51 million in the Company in exchange for an aggregate of 1,350,000 shares of our common stock, representing a purchase price
of approximately $2.60 per share.
On June 5, 2020, we issued an aggregate
of 1,800,000 shares of our common stock to acquire all of the outstanding equity interest of Fast Approach Inc., a corporation
incorporated under the laws of Canada and in the business of operating a demand side platform targeting the Chinese education market
in North America.
General
Management anticipates that our existing
capital resources and anticipated cash flows from operations are adequate to satisfy our liquidity requirements for the next 12
months. Our primary capital needs have been to fund our working capital requirements. In the past, our primary sources of financing
have been cash generated from operations and financing activities.
As of March 31, 2020, we had cash and cash
equivalents (including restricted cash) of $4.12 million. The debt to assets ratio was 12.6% and 19.9% as of March 31, 2020 and
December 31, 2019, respectively. We expect to continue to finance our operations and working capital needs in 2020 from cash generated
from operations and, if needed, private financings. If available liquidity is not sufficient to meet our operating and loan obligations
as they come due, our plans include pursuing alternative financing arrangements or reducing expenditures as necessary to meet our
cash requirements. However, there is no assurance that we will be able to raise additional capital or reduce discretionary spending
to provide liquidity, if needed. We cannot be sure of the availability or terms of any alternative financing arrangements.
The following table provides detailed information
about our net cash flow for all financial statement periods presented in this report.

Operating Activities

was $6.5 million and provided by operating activities was $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019,

prepayments and other current assets.
