Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]  
RESTATEMENT

NOTE 22 –RESTATEMENT

 

The Company restates its previously released unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2025, and incorporate them into the 2025 Quarterly Report “10-Q Form Report” (the “Restatement”). This restatement is due to the discovery of errors related to the reclassification of buildings without property ownership certificates in fixed assets.

 

As the Company does not have property ownership certificates, the acquisition of the 20-year usage rights for this land, buildings, and salt pan conforms to the definition of a lease as stated in ASC 842. The Company revised the financial statements and accounted for these usage rights as leases in accordance with the provisions of ASC 842.

 

The effects of the restatement on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024, are summarized in the following table:

The following descriptions of the restatement adjustments to the balance sheet excludes a description of adjustments previously identified and concluded as immaterial that were also corrected as part of the restatement.

 

(a)The change in common stock and additional paid-in capital is due to the Company’s 1-for-10 reverse stock split on October 27, 2025.

 

(b)As of December 31, 2024, in the fixed assets, the original value of the buildings subject to reclassification amounted to $68,476,868. The Company reclassified them based on their acquisition methods. The self-built portion was reclassified as “leasehold improvements” in the property, plant and equipment, with an original value of $3,507,367. The leased portion was reclassified as finance lease right-of-use assets, with an original value of $64,189,590, accumulated amortization of $19,111,170, and a net value of $45,078,720.

 

 

As of June 30, 2025, in the fixed assets, the original value of the buildings and Construction in process subject to reclassification amounted to $66,899,438. The Company reclassified them based on their acquisition methods. The self-built portion was reclassified as “leasehold improvements” in the property, plant and equipment, with an original value of $3,521,992. The leased portion was reclassified as finance lease right-of-use assets, with an original value of $64,457,219, accumulated amortization of $20,743,025, and a net value of $43,714,194.

 

(c)The amount in accounts payable and accrued expenses was reclassified as finance lease liability relating to the salt pans.

 

(d)Regarding the decrease in retained earnings unappropriated, the main reason was the increase in expenses. The increase in expenses is mainly due to the reclassification of the financial lease right-of-use asset. Previously, depreciation was calculated after deducting 5% residual value from the fixed assets, but now there is no residual value for amortization of finance lease right-of-use asset calculation.

 

(e)The change in the accumulated other comprehensive loss represents the foreign currency translation differences in the financial statements.

 

The effects of the restatement on the consolidated statement of operations income (loss) for the three months ended June 30, 2024, are summarized in the following table:

The following descriptions of the restatement adjustments to the statement of operations exclude a description of adjustments previously identified and concluded as immaterial they were also corrected as part of the restatement.

 

(a)The increase in cost of revenue and general and administrative expenses were due to the reclassification of finance lease right-of-use asset. Previously, depreciation was calculated after deducting 5% residual value from the fixed assets, but now there is no residual value for amortization of finance lease right-of-use asset calculation.

 

(b)The change in the accumulated other comprehensive loss represents the foreign currency translation differences in the financial statements.

 

(c)The change in basic and diluted loss per share is due to the Company’s 1-for-10 reverse stock split on October 27, 2025.

SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURE OF NON-CASH INVESTING AND FINANCING ACTIVITIES

 

The following descriptions of the restatement adjustments to the statement of cash flows excludes a description of adjustments previously identified and concluded as immaterial that were also corrected as part of the restatement.

 

(a)This restatement is due to the reclassification of buildings without property ownership certificates in fixed assets. The Company reclassified them based on their acquisition methods. The self-built portion was reclassified as “leasehold improvements” in the property, plant and equipment. The leased portion was reclassified as finance lease right-of-use assets.

 

(b)Regarding the increase in net loss, the main reason was that cost of revenue and general and administrative expenses increased. The increase in expenses was due to the reclassification of finance lease right-of-use asset. Previously, depreciation was calculated after deducting 5% residual value from the fixed assets, but now there is no residual value for amortization of finance lease right-of-use asset calculation.

 

(c)The change in the accumulated other comprehensive loss represents the foreign currency translation differences in the financial statements.

 

(d)Fixed assets without property ownership certificates have been reclassified as finance lease right-of-use assets, resulting in an amount of $31,602,571.
