These forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including the words “believes,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “may,” “will,” “potential,” “projects,” “predicts,” “continue,” or “should,” or, in each case, their negative or other variations or comparable terminology. There can be no assurance that actual results will not materially differ from expectations. These statements are based on management’s current expectations, but actual results may differ materially due to various factors, including, but not limited to:

The forward-looking statements contained in this Report are based on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on us. Future developments affecting us may not be those that we have anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) and other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.

By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future. We caution you that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and that our actual results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and developments in the industry in which we operate may differ materially from those made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements contained in this Report. In addition, even if our results or operations, financial condition and liquidity, and developments in the industry in which we operate are consistent with the forward-looking statements contained in this Report, those results or developments may not be indicative of results or developments in subsequent periods.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion and analysis is based on, and should be read in conjunction with our financial statements, including the notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this Report. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains statements that are forward-looking. These statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risk, uncertainties and other factors. These statements are often identified by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “could,” “estimate,” or “continue,” and similar expressions or variations. Actual results could differ materially because of the factors discussed in “Risk Factors” elsewhere in this Report, and other factors that we may not know.

Overview

From 2016 to 2020, we were a telemedicine company that provides Connect-a-Doc telemedicine kits to schools. Our services aimed to provide alternatives to schools that desire to provide a higher level of healthcare to their students but are unable to keep a full-time school nurse available. In 2020 this business was discontinued and we became a non-operating “shell” company until our acquisition of Yeetah, as more fully described below.

On October 21, 2020, we entered into the Share Exchange Agreement with QDM BVI, and Huihe Zheng, the sole shareholder of QDM BVI, who is also our principal stockholder and serves as our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, to acquire all the issued and outstanding capital stock of QDM BVI in exchange for the issuance to Mr. Zheng 30,000 shares (900,000 shares before the Reverse Split) of a newly designated Series C Preferred Stock, with each share of Series C Preferred Stock initially being convertible into 11 shares of our common stock, subject to certain adjustments and limitations. The Share Exchange closed on October 21, 2020.

As a result of the consummation of the Share Exchange, we acquired QDM BVI and its indirect subsidiary, Yeetah, an insurance brokerage company primarily markets and sells diversified insurance products, including property, life and social security insurance products, underwritten by insurance companies operating in Hong Kong to individual customers from Hong Kong SAR and Mainland China. In addition, under the insurance regulations in Hong Kong, Yeetah also provides customized risk management consulting services and its Hong Kong customers with assistance in purchase of other investment insurance products. Following the closing of the transaction, we have assumed the business operations of QDM BVI and its subsidiaries.

On November 3, 2021, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of QDMS, a company incorporated on February 6, 2020 in Cyprus. The Company acquired QDMS through an intermediary holding company, LGL, which was incorporated on July 29, 2021 in the BVI. Before the acquisition, Huihe Zheng was the sole shareholder of QDMS. As part of the acquisition, Mr. Zheng sold all the shares of QDMS to LGL for a consideration of EUR5,000 in November 2021 and at the same time the sole shareholder of LGL, Mengting Xu, transferred all her shares in LGL to the Company for a consideration of US$1.00. As a result, the Company acquired 100% ownership of LGL, which, in turn, owns 100% of QDMS. QDMS plans to engage in the research and development of customer relationship management (“CRM”) software as a service (“SaaS”), with a business model derived from “customer-centered” CRM concept to improve enterprise-customers relationship. We plan to market QDMS’ SaaS services to our network of banks, securities companies, insurance companies and other financial services providers in Hong Kong and China.

In March 2023, the Company consummated a closing of a public offering of its common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “2023 Offering”), in which the Company issued and sold an aggregate of 28,910,400 shares of its common stock at a price of $0.081 per share to certain investors, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $2,339,937.

Impact of COVID-19

In 2019, an outbreak of a novel strain of the coronavirus, COVID-19, was identified in China and has subsequently been recognized as a pandemic by the World Health Organization. The COVID-19 pandemic has severely restricted the level of economic activity around the world. In response to this pandemic, the governments of many countries, states, cities and other geographic regions, including Hong Kong, have taken preventative or protective actions, such as imposing restrictions on travel and business operations and advising or requiring individuals to limit or forego their time outside of their homes.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, insurance brokers in Hong Kong have been greatly affected by the implementation of travel restrictions and social distancing measures. These restrictions and measures have resulted in a significant decrease in new business for insurance brokers, such as Yeetah, that rely on in-person consultations and storefronts for customer acquisition.

Customers from mainland China contributed to a large part of Yeetah’s commissions. Regulations require their physical presence in Hong Kong to complete the policy contract. However, due to the political turmoil and travel restrictions related to the COVID-19 epidemic, mainland Chinese customers dropped sharply. As a result, Yeetah’s revenue from commissions on new business decreased significantly during the pandemic. Yeetah’s commissions from renewal premiums were materially affected since the mainland Chinese customers were late in making the renewal payments due to inability to visit Hong Kong to make the payments. Most of Yeetah’s mainland customers do not have Hong Kong bank account and used to pay their premiums through credit card or in cash in person.

In early 2023, Hong Kong has fully reopened its borders with mainland China. With the lifting of travel restriction, customers from mainland China can travel to Hong Kong again to meet with insurance brokers. As a result, the Company’s revenue has significantly increased for the three months ended June 30, 2023   compared to the same period of 2022. Refer to “Results of Operations” below for details.

In May 2023, the World Health Organization declared an end to the Covid-19 emergency.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended June 30, 2023 and 2022

The following table presents an overview of the results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022:

Revenue

Revenue increased by approximately $3.3 million or 33,362.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the same period of 2022. The increases were mainly due to lifting of COVID-19 travel restrictions and quarantine measures. During the COVID-19 pandemic, insurance brokers in Hong Kong have been greatly affected by the implementation of travel restrictions and social distancing measures. These restrictions and measures have resulted in a significant decrease in new business for insurance brokers, such as Yeetah, that rely on in-person consultations and storefronts for customer acquisition. Customers from mainland China contributed to a large part of Yeetah’s commissions. Regulations require their physical presence in Hong Kong to complete the policy contract. However, due to the travel restrictions related to the COVID-19 epidemic, mainland Chinese customers dropped sharply in fiscal 2022. As a result of the lifting of the travel restrictions in early 2023, mainland Chinese customers can travel to Hong Kong again. Yeetah’s revenue from commissions on new business therefore increased significantly during the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same period of 2022.  

Cost of sales

The amounts increased by approximately $2.0 million or 20,816.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the same period of 2022. The increase was in line with the significant increases of revenue.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses generally are fixed and consist primarily of employee salaries, office rents, insurance costs, general office operating expenses (e.g., utilities, repairs and maintenance) and professional fees.

General and administrative expenses increased by approximately $0.06 million or 60.0 % for the three months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the same period of 2022. The change is primarily due to the fact that there were more rent expenses in relation to the 2023 Office Lease  entered in April 2023 and more employees were hired.

Net income (loss) 

As a result of the factors described above, net income for the three months ended June 30, 2023 increased by approximately $1.0 million or 1,080.3% as compared to the same period of 2022, which incurred a net loss of $0.1 million. 

Foreign Currency Translation

The Company’s reporting currency is the United States dollar (“US$”). The Company’s operations are principally conducted in Hong Kong where the Hong Kong dollar is the functional currency. The functional currency of the Company’s two subsidiaries, Lutter Global Limited and QDMI Software Group Limited, is the Euro.

Transactions denominated in other than the functional currencies are re-measured into the functional currency of the entity at the exchange rates prevailing on the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the applicable functional currencies are translated into the functional currency at the prevailing rates of exchange at the balance sheet date. The resulting exchange differences are reported in the statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

The exchanges rate used for translation from Hong Kong dollar to US$ was 7.8000, a pegged rate determined by the linked exchange rate system in Hong Kong. This pegged rate was used to translate Company’s balance sheets, income statement items and cash flow items for both the three months ended June 30, 2023 and the year ended March 31, 2023.

The exchanges rates used for translation from Euro to US$ are as follows:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have financed our operations primarily through cash generated by operating activities, equity financings and advances from our principal stockholder. QDM is a holding company and conducts substantially all of its operations through Yeetah, which is its only entity that has operating cash inflows. Our expenses are paid directly either by Yeetah or our principal stockholder.

Yeetah is a registered insurance broker in Hong Kong and subject to certain Hong Kong insurance broker requirements regarding its share capital and net assets. Pursuant to the requirements, a licensed insurance broker must at all times maintain a paid-up share capital of not less than US$  64,103 (HK$500,000) and net assets of not less than US$64,103 (HK$500,000), subject to certain transitional arrangements, pursuant which, the Company is required to maintain the amount of paid-up share capital and net assets of (i) not less than US$12,821 (HK$100,000) for the period from September 23, 2019 to December 31, 2021 and (ii) not less than US$38,462 (HK$300,000) for the period from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2023.

There have been no cash and any asset transactions between us and our subsidiaries since the Share Exchange. As of June 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, we had $4,617,551 and $2,717,745, respectively, in cash and cash equivalents, which primarily consisted of cash deposited in banks.

Our working capital requirements mainly comprise of commissions paid to technical representatives and referral fees, operating lease payments and employee salaries. Historically, our capital requirements were generally met by cash generated from our operations, equity financings and funding from our principal stockholder. Although historically we were successful in obtaining equity financings through the sales of our securities and obtaining loans from our principal stockholder, the availability of such financings when required is dependent on many factors beyond our control.

Operating Activities:

Net cash generated from operating activities was approximately $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to net cash used in operating activities of approximately$88,000 for 2022, representing an increase of approximately $2.0 million in the net cash inflow in operating activities. The increase in net cash inflow in operating activities was primarily due to the increase of net income of $1.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the same period of 2022 and the following major working capital changes:

Investing Activities:

Net cash used in investing activities was $93,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to net cash used in investing activities was approximately $15,000 for the same period of 2022. Investing activities for both periods were solely attributable to acquisitions of fixed assets.

Financing Activities:

Net cash generated from financing activities was approximately $100,761 and $60,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 respectively, which was fully attributable to stockholder advances to the Company during the period.

Material Commitments

We have no material commitments for the next twelve months. We will, however, require additional capital to meet our liquidity needs.

We had two office lease agreements and our lease commitments as of June 30, 2023 are summarized as follows:

Operating lease

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, contingent assets and liabilities, each as of the date of the financial statements, and revenues and expenses during the periods presented. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates their estimates and assumptions, and the effects of any such revisions are reflected in the financial statements in the period in which they are determined to be necessary. Management bases their estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that they believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual outcomes could differ materially from those estimates in a manner that could have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our consolidated financial statements, we believe that there were no critical accounting policies and estimates that affect the preparation of financial statements. 

Off-balance Sheet Commitments and Arrangements

As of June 30, 2023, the Company did not have any material off-balance sheet arrangements that had or were reasonably likely to have any effect on their respective financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (together, the “Certifying Officers”), to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Certifying Officers, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on the foregoing, our Certifying Officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30. 2023 due to the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, which are indicative of many small companies with small staff: (i) lack of proper segregation of duties and risk assessment process; (ii) lack of formal documentation in internal controls over financial reporting; and (iii) lack of independent directors and an audit committee. We will devote resources to remediate these material weaknesses as we grow and such resources required for implementing proper internal controls for financial reporting are available.

We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
