- Loss from operations was $1,041,361 for the six months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to $1,308,583 for the same period of 2019.

Xiangdong Wen, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, commented, “Our revenue increased to $329,070 for the first half of 2020 as a result of our increased sales force in the broker- dealer business. Loss from operations decreased significantly as a result of the revenue increase and decrease in the size and distribution of support team for investor relations management services business and market data services business.”
Mr. Wen continued, “As for the Company’s future strategy, in the face of the trade tension between China and the United States, the Company intend to increase its investment in the following two areas to address challenges of the changing market environment.
First, the Company believes that Chinese investors will continue demand investments in U.S. securities and diversified asset allocations. To this end, the Company set up the asset management department to form a series of Manager of Managers (“MOM”) funds, with the main goal of attracting small and medium-sized institutional investors and helping them set up the fund to issue securities fund products. The Company will also help those investors with marketing and promotion of subscriptions by ordinary investors, to help ordinary investors realize the allocation of overseas assets and obtain high-quality asset management services. In addition, the Company remains optimistic about the opening up of China’s securities markets, and plans to establish a new U.S. team to service small and medium-sized overseas investment institutions, especially Wall Street institutions, to invest in Chinese securities market, acting as a bridge for Sino-US securities investment transactions.”Operating Results for Six Months Ended June 30, 2020
