Financial Results for Six Months Ended December 31, 2019
Revenues
Revenues decreased by approximately $1.4 million, or 10.6%, to approximately $11.5 million for the six months ended December 31, 2019 from approximately $12.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 2018. The decrease in revenue was primarily attributable to the decrease of sales volume of 43.90%, offset by the increase of average selling price of 59.4% as compared to the six months ended December 31, 2018.
The decrease in sales volume was mainly due to two reasons: (1) During the six months ended December 31, 2019, in order to improve some lower margin traditional products from our current product offering structure, we started to upgrade our lines of traditional pet leashes, pet collars, pet harnesses, gift suspenders, and other pet accessory products, while shifting our focus and resources to produce and promote the sales of higher margin intelligent pet products. As sales efforts shifted from certain traditional pet leashes, pet collars and pet harnesses products to these intelligent pet products, our sales volume of our pet leashes, pet collars, pet harnesses, other pet accessories, gift suspenders and retractable dog leashes decreased. (2) Due to the negative impact from the ongoing trade dispute between China and the United States, several of our major customers located in the United States reduced their purchase orders from us during the six months ended December 31, 2019. The China-US trade dispute started in September 2018 and the tariff for some products has jumped from 10% to 25%, since May 10, 2019. Such tariffs have affected the pricing of affected products as well, as we have historically absorbed such tariff costs within the price of products we sell. We anticipate a further reduction of our export sales to the United States in the coming months due to uncertainties arising from the China-US continuous dispute on the trade deals as well as the negative impact from the COVID-19 outbreak and spread.
The increase in our average selling price by 59.4% during the six months ended December 31, 2019 as compared to the same period of 2018 was largely due to increased sales of our intelligent pet products, which sell at higher average selling prices than our traditional products. Our intelligent pet products sales account for approximately 18.4% of our total sales during the six months ended December 31, 2019, as compared to approximately 4.4% in the same period of 2018.
Revenue by Product Type
Our pet collars, pet leashes, intelligent pet products, gift suspenders, pet harnesses, other pet accessories and retractable dog leashes accounted for 24.1%, 22.1%, 18.4%, 14.5%, 8.9%, 4.5% and 3.7% of our total sales, respectively, during the first half of fiscal 2020, as compared to 26.7%, 24.1%, 4.4%, 16.2%, 14.6%, 8.1% and 5.9% of our total sales, respectively, during the first half of fiscal 2019.

Sales of climbing hooks to sport equipment companies accounted for 3.8% of our total sales during the six months ended December 31, 2019. We had no such sales in the same period of 2018.

Pet collars
Revenue from pet collars decreased by approximately $0.6 million, or 19.3%, from $3.4 million for the six months ended December 31, 2018, to $2.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 2019. The decrease was mainly driven by a 55.5% or approximately 1.3 million units decrease in sales volume, offset by an increased average unit selling price of $1.2 per unit during the six months ended December 31, 2019 as compared to the same period of 2018.
The decrease in sales volume was the result of our reduced production and sales of traditional pet products, as well as reduced sales orders received from several large customers in the United States affected by the negative impact of the ongoing trade dispute between China and the United States. The increase of average selling price for pet collars was mainly because we sold more Dogness brand products instead of OEM products and we sold more leather pet collars instead of fabric pet collars during the six months ended December 31, 2019.
Pet leashes
Revenue from non-retractable pet leashes decreased by approximately $0.6 million, or 18.2%, from $3.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2018, to $2.5 million for the six months ended December 31, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in sales volume of 0.65 million units, offset by an increased average unit selling price of $1.9 per unit during the six months ended December 31, 2019 as compared to the same period of 2018.
During the six months ended December 31, 2019, as a result of our business strategy shift from focusing on the sales of traditional pet products to focusing on the sales of our intelligent pet products, we reduced the manufacturing and sales of some low-end pet leash products made of fabric. In addition, we received reduced purchase orders from both domestic and overseas customers and accordingly, our sales volume of pet leashes decreased. The increase in our selling price of pet leash products was because we sold more customized leather dog leashes with higher costs in order to meet the specific needs from several large customers. We charged higher selling price to these customers to fulfill the customized sales orders.

Intelligent pet products
Our intelligent pet products primarily include App-controlled smart pet feeders, pet water fountains, and smart pet toys. Revenue from intelligent pet products increased by approximately $1.5 million, or 271.2%, to approximately $2.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2019 from $0.6 million for the six months ended December 31, 2018. The increase was mainly driven by a 191.2% increase in sales volume, as well as the increased average unit selling price of $7.8 per unit during the six months ended December 31, 2019 as compared to the same period of 2018. Among the total increase of $1.5 million, $0.9 million increase was from sales to customers in China domestic market and remaining $0.6 million increase was from sales to customers in overseas market.
Compared with other products, intelligent pet products typically have high selling price due to high-tech concept. As part of our strategic changes, we have shifted our focus and resources from traditional pet products to new, smart, and high value innovative smart pet products. We have seen the increased sales during the six months ended December 31, 2019, and are expected the sales of intelligent pet products will continue to be one of the primary sources of revenue in the near future.
Gift suspenders
Revenue from gift suspenders decreased by approximately $0.4 million, or 19.9%, from $2.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2018, to $1.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 2019. The decrease in revenue was mainly driven by 32.6% decrease in sales volume during the six months ended December 31, 2019 when we reduced the manufacturing and sales low-end gift suspender products primarily made of fabric as compared to the same period of 2018. The average selling price for gift suspenders remained consistent during the six months ended December 31, 2019 as compared to the same period of 2018.
Pet harnesses
Revenue from pet harnesses decreased by approximately $0.9 million, or 45.3%, from $1.9 million for the six months ended December 31, 2018, to $1.0 million for the six months ended December 31, 2019. The decrease in revenue was due to a 62.4% decrease in sales volume, offset by an increased average unit selling price of $0.9 per unit during the six months ended December 31, 2019 as compared to the same period of 2018. The decrease in sales volume was the result of our reduced production and sales of traditional pet products, as well as reduced sales orders received from several large customers in the United States affected by the negative impact of the ongoing trade dispute between China and the United States. The increase in our selling price of pet harness products was because we fulfilled more customized sales orders in order to meet the specific needs from several large customers. We charged higher selling price to these customers to fulfill the customized sales orders than we would charge for non-customized orders.
Other pet accessories
Other pet accessories include various dog comfort wrap harnesses, pet muzzles, metal chain traffic leashes, pet belt and ropes, and other products, which are normally customized to fulfill customers’ purchase orders. Revenue from other pet accessories decreased by 50.7%, to approximately $0.5 million for the six months ended December 31, 2019, from $1.0 million for the six months ended December 31, 2018. The decrease in revenue was driven by a 70.5% decrease in sales volume, offset by an increased average unit selling price of $0.5 per unit during the six months ended December 31, 2019 as compared to the same period of 2018. The decrease in sales volume was mainly due to reduced purchase orders from major customers located in the United States.
Retractable dog leashes
Revenue from retractable dog leashes decreased by 44.0%, to approximately $0.4 million for the six months ended December 31, 2019, from $0.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 2018. The decrease in revenue was mainly driven by 47.1% decrease in sales volume, offset by an increased average unit selling price of $0.3 per unit during the six months ended December 31, 2019 as compared to the same period of 2018. The decrease in sales volume was mainly due to reduced purchase orders from major customers located in the United States due to increased tariffs related to the China-US trade dispute.

Climbing hooks
To meet the increasing market demand for outdoor equipment, we produced and sold climbing hooks to sports equipment companies. Revenue from climbing hooks was $0.4 million for the six months ended December 31, 2019. There were no climbing hook sales in the same period of 2018.

Our domestic sales decreased approximately $1.5 million or 20.1%, from approximately $7.7 million in the six months ended December 31, 2018 to approximately $6.1 million in the six months ended December 31, 2019. The decrease was mainly due to reduced customer orders of our traditional pet products. As a result of our business strategy shift from focusing on sales of traditional pet products to focusing on promoting the sales of our intelligent pet products, we reduced the manufacturing and sales of some low-end pet leash products made of fabric. As a result, our sales of pet collars, pet leashes, gift suspenders, pet harnesses, other pet accessories and retractable dog leashes, decreased approximately $0.4 million, $0.6 million, $0.2 million, $0.6 million, $0.4 million and $0.5 million, respectively, during the six months ended December 31, 2019 as compared to the same period of 2018. However, our sales of intelligent pet products increased approximately $0.9 million or 177.6% as compared to the same period in of 2018 because of our strategic change. Our outdoor sports accessories sales, mainly climbing hooks, also increased by approximately $0.3 million in China’s domestic market during the six months ended December 31, 2019.
With the booming of pet culture in China, more and more young consumers have become pet owners in Mainland China. There are growing demands for smart pet products, including App-controlled smart pet food feeders, pet water fountains, pet tracking devices and smart pet toys. In addition, the shopping channels are diversified due to the rapid change of technology and lifestyle. The younger generations are more tech savvy and more willing to purchase products from popular online shopping sites, including JD, Tmall and Taobao, and from live streaming sales platforms hosted by influencers. Therefore, during the six months ended December 31, 2019, we increased our marketing activities and sales efforts in domestic market, especially on those online shopping sites and channels. This led to the increase of our sales of intelligent pet products by $0.9 million during the six months ended December 31, 2019 as compared to the same period of 2018.

Our total sales in international markets increased slightly by approximately $0.2 million or 3.6%, from approximately $5.1 million in the six months ended December 31, 2018 to approximately $5.3 millionin the six months ended December 31, 2019.Our international sales were primarily affected by decreased export sales to the United States and Europe, compensated by increased export sales toAustralia, Canada, Japan and other Asian countries and regions.
Due to the continued negative impact of the China-US tariff dispute, our export sales to the United States decreased approximately $0.7 million or 22.9%, during the six months ended December 31, 2019 when we received reduced purchase orders from several large customers in the United States, as compared to the same period of 2018. To mitigate the negative impact of the ongoing trade dispute between China and the United States, we strengthened our marketing efforts to promote our sales to other countries and regions, such as Australia, Canada, Japan and other Asian countries and regions. Our export sales to Australia, Canada, Japan and other Asian countries and regions increased by 371.7%, 176.5% and 63.8%, respectively, during the six months ended December 31, 2019, as compared to the same period of 2018.
In terms of our international sales by product type and mix, sales of our traditional pet collars, gift suspenders, pet harnesses, other pet accessories, decreased by approximately 13.7%, 12.4%, 34.4% and 51.7%, respectively, during the six months ended December 31, 2019 as compared to the same period of 2018. However, our sale of intelligent pet products increased approximately $0.6 million or 1,328.8%, our retractable dog leashes increased by $0.1 million or 77.3% and our climbing hooks increased by approximately $0.1 million, respectively, during the six months ended December 31, 2019, as compared to the same period of 2018. International intelligent pet product sales increased at a significantly higher rate than domestic intelligent pet product sales because such products were only introduced in 2018 and minimal international sales occurred that in year.
We have started working with large retail chains in the US and Canada for the distribution of their smart pet products under the Company’s own brand rather than just serving as an OEM supplier. We expect the revenue to be generated from these efforts could mitigate, at least in part, offset the decreased OEM sales in the United States. We also expect that the newly developed intelligent pet products will become the leading revenue source for our international sales, as we have already seen a clear trend in our domestic market.
Sales to related parties
In our fiscal year 2019, we acquired 10% of the ownership interest in Dogness Network Technology Co., Ltd (“Dogness Network”) and 13% of the ownership interest in Linsun Smart Technology Co., Ltd (“Linsun”), for the purpose of working together to develop new products and new technologies in smart pet tech area.

During the six months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, we sold certain intelligent pet products to Dogness Network and Linsun, accordingly reported related party sales of $588,733 and $206,052, which accounted for 5.1% and 1.6% of our total revenue for the six months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Our sales to related party do not have right of return and we do not provide other credits or sales incentive to related party customers. Pricing for related and unrelated customers are on substantially the same terms. As of December 31, 2019, we had $434,125 receivable from Dogness Network, and as of the date of this filing, $194,566 has been collected back and we anticipate to fully collect the remaining amount before June 30, 2020.
Cost of revenues
Cost of revenues decreased by approximately $0.5 million, or 6.2%, from approximately $8.2 million in the six months to approximately $7.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 2019. The decrease in our cost of revenues was mainly due to the decrease of sales volume by 43.6% in the current period. As a percentage of revenues, the cost of goods sold increased by 3.2 percentage points to 67.1% in the current period from 63.9% in the same period of the prior fiscal year. This was mainly because the increased costs associated with our intelligent pet products and increased costs associated with our fulfillment of certain customized orders for our leather pet collars and leashes products.
Gross profit
For the six months ended December 31, 2019, gross profit decreased by approximately $0.8 million to approximately $3.8 million, from approximately $4.6 million for the same period of 2018, primarily attributable to decreased sales volume of our traditional pet products and increased costs associated with our intelligent pet products and leather pet collars and leashes. Overall gross profit margin was 32.9%, a decrease of 2.7 percentage points, compared to 36.1% for the same period of the prior fiscal year.
Gross margins for pet leashes, pet harnesses, retractable dog leashes, pet collars decreased by 11.6 percentage points, 4.3 percentage points, 7.4 percentage point and 5.5 percentage points, respectively, in the six months ended December 31, 2019 as compared to the same period of 2018. The decrease was mainly due to the increased raw material costs because we produced more leather products instead of fabric products to fulfill customized orders, as well as the increased salary expenses due to higher labor costs as compared to the same period last year.
Gross margin for our intelligent pet products, other pet accessories and gift suspender increased by 8.3 percentage points, 6.5 percentage points and 1.2 percentage points, as compared to the same period of 2018. The increase in gross margin was primarily attributable to our improvements in technical design and functionality of the component and parts for intelligent pet products, other pet accessories and gift suspender, as a result, the average unit selling price on our intelligent pet products, other pet accessories and gift suspender increased by 27.3%, 76.2%, and 36.6%, respectively, as compared to the same period of 2018.
Gross margin for climbing hooks was 28.2% during the six months ended December 31, 2019. As noted above, no climbing hoods were sold during the six months ended December 31, 2018. The gross margin for climbing hooks is within our expectation.

Selling expenses
Selling expenses primarily included expenses incurred for participating in various trade shows to promote product sales, salary and sales commission expenses paid to the Company’s sales personnel, customs clearance charges for product exports, and shipping and delivery expenses. Selling expenses decreased by $0.2 million, or 18.6% from $1.1 million in the six months ended December 31, 2018, to $0.9 million in the six months ended December 31, 2019. The decrease in selling expense was primarily due to decreased exhibition fees by $91,229 and decreased marketing expenses by $135,504 because we only attended 2 major exhibition shows during the six months ended December 31, 2019. For the same period of 2018, we attended 4 major exhibition shows. As a percentage of sales, our selling expenses were 8.1% and 9.0% of our total revenues for the six months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses increased by approximately $0.1 million, or 4.1%, from approximately $2.8 million in the six months ended December 31, 2018, to approximately $2.9 million in the six months ended December 31, 2019. The slight increase was mainly due to increased bad debts by approximately $0.2 million because we accrued additional bad debt on our accounts receivable based on collectability assessment, and increased depreciation and amortization by approximately $0.3 million because our Meijia plant has been put into production during the six months ended December 31, 2019, increased rental expenses by approximately $0.2 million because we leased a piece of land to build a warehouse in Dongguan city, offset by decreased consulting fees and professional fees by approximately $0.4 million because we reduced business strategy related consultation with third-parties during current period than we did in the same period of last year, and decreased salaries by approximately $0.2 million. As a percentage of sales, our general and administrative expenses were 25.6% and 22.0% of our total revenues for the six months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Research and development expenses
Research and development expenses decreased by approximately $0.4 million, or 72.4%, from approximately $0.5 million in the six months ended December 31, 2018, to approximately $0.1 million in the six months ended December 31, 2019. As a percentage of sales, our research and development expenses were 1.3% and 4.2% of our total revenues for the six months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The decrease was due to larger development costs to develop cutting edge smart pet products were incurred in the six months ended December 31, 2018. Although our research and development expenses decreased during the six months ended December 31, 2019, in order to meet customer demand, we may incur additional R&D expenses in the near future to improve some of the functions and exterior designs of our existing products and use environmentally-friendly materials to develop more new high-tech products.
Other income (expense)
Other income (expense) primarily included interest income or expense and foreign exchange gain or loss. For the six months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had other expense of approximately $82,245 and other income of $0.9 million, respectively. For the six months ended December 31, 2019, our other expenses included $104,040 bank loan interest due to higher loan balance compared to the same period last year, offset by a foreign exchange gain of $46,905 in the current period due to the favorable USD, Euro, and other currency exchange rates against RMB on our foreign currency denominated account receivables. For the six months ended December 31, 2018, our other income of $0.9 million was comprised of a foreign exchange gain of $0.5 million due to favorable USD, Euro, and other currency exchange rates against the RMB on the Company’s foreign currency denominated account receivable and $0.4 million in interest income from the Company’s short-term investments.
Income tax
Income tax expense decreased by approximately $0.2 million or 68.2%, from approximately $0.3 million in the six months ended December 31, 2018, to approximately $0.1 million in the six months ended December 31, 2019. The decrease was consistent with the decrease in our taxable income for the six months ended December 31, 2019.
We had accrued tax liabilities of approximately $3.1 million and $2.9 million as of December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019, respectively, mostly related to our unpaid income tax and business tax in China. According to PRC taxation regulation, if tax has not been fully paid, tax authorities may impose tax and late payment penalties within three years. In practice, since all of the taxes owed are local taxes, the local tax authority is typically more flexible and willing to provide incentives or settlements with local small and medium-size businesses to relieve their burden and to stimulate the local economy. Management has discussed with local tax authorities regarding the outstanding tax payable balance after the Company successfully completed its IPO and is in the process of negotiating a settlement plan agreement. Management is currently actively working with the local tax authority and believes it is likely that the Company can reach an agreement with the local tax authority to fully settle its tax liabilities within one year but cannot guarantee such settlement will ultimately occur.

Net loss
Net loss was approximately $0.42 million for the six months ended December 31, 2019, a decrease of $1.15 million or 158.4%, from a net income $0.73 million in the same period of 2018. The decrease in net income was the result of decreased sales and gross profit as discussed above.
Cash flows
Net cash provided by operating activities was $1.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 2019, including net loss of $0.5 million, adjusted for non-cash items for approximately $2.3 million, offset adjustments for changes in working capital around $0.1 million. The adjustments for changes in working capital mainly included increased accounts receivable of $0.3 million and increased accounts payable of $0.8 million, offset by the increased inventory stockpile of $1.0 million mainly due to increased work-in-process inventory to meet increased market demand for our intelligent pet products during the six months ended December 31, 2019.
Net cash used in investing activities was $4.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2019, comparing to $2.0 million net cash provided by investing activities for the six months ended December 31, 2018. The decrease in investing cash flow was mainly due to the proceeds of $3.6 million received upon maturity for short-term investments, offset by $7.3 million investment on construction in progress, $0.2 million investment on property, plant and equipment, and $0.2 million capital investments in Linsun and Dogness Network.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $1.3 million for the six months ended December 31, 2019, comparing to $1.7 million net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended December 31, 2018. The increase in financing cash flow was mainly due to the proceeds of approximately $4.3 million from bank loans, offset by the repayment of $2.8 million for bank loans upon maturity.
Commitments and Contractual Obligations

(1) | The Company’s subsidiary Dogness Jiasheng leases manufacturing facilities and administration office spaces under multiple operating lease agreements. We adopted ASU No. 2016-02—Leases (Topic 842) on July 1, 2019, using a modified retrospective transition method. This transition approach provides a method for recording existing leases only at the date of adoption and does not require previously reported balances to be adjusted. In addition, we elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, allowed us to carry forward the historical lease classification. Adoption of the new standard resulted in the recording of lease assets and lease liabilities of approximately $5.4 million and $1.5 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2019. |
(2) | As of December 31, 2019, the Company had a loan balance of RMB 18 million ($2,583,252) borrowed from Bank of Communications of China. The loan has a term of one year from September 5, 2019 to September 5, 2020 with effective interest rate of 5.873% per annum.

(4) | On July 6, 2018, a new entity named Dogness Intelligence Technology Co., Ltd. (“Intelligence”), was incorporated under the laws of the People’s Republic of China in Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province, China with a total registered capital of RMB 80 million (approximately $11.5 million). One of the Company’s subsidiaries, Dongguan Jiasheng, owns 58% of Intelligence and accordingly is required to contribute RMB 46.4 million (approximately $6.7 million) of capital to this new entity. As of the date of this filing, Dongguan Jiasheng has not made the capital contribution. Pursuant to the article of incorporation of Intelligence, the Company is required to complete the capital contribution before May 22, 2038.
On January 15, 2020, one of the Company’s subsidiaries, Dongguan Dogness, entered into an agreement with one of the original shareholders of Dogness Pet Culture (Dongguan) Co. Ltd. (“Dogness Culture”), who is related to Mr. Silong Chen, our Chief Executive Officer, to acquire 51.2% ownership interest of Dogness Culture with nominal consideration. Dogness Culture was originally incorporated on December 14, 2018 and had no active business operations since its inception. The related party established Dogness Culture at the request of the Company, with the intention of promptly transferring ownership interests to Dongguan Dogness once Dogness Culture was formed.
On April 3, 2020, the share transfer was approved by local business registration office with a total registered capital of RMB 10 million (approximately $1.4 million). Dongguan Dogness paid its share of the registered capital of RMB 5.12 million (approximately 0.73 million) on April 16, 2020. Dogness Culture will be mainly focused on developing and cultivating pet culture, guiding pet related consumption and expanding potential pet related consumer markets.
The Company is also obligated to make registered capital contributions to its subsidiary Zhangzhou Meijia Metal Product Ltd. (“Meijia”) and Dongguan Jiasheng Enterprise Ltd. (“Dongguan Jiasheng”) to meet the requirement of State Administration for Industry and Commerce (“SAIC”) of China. As of December 31, 2019, future registered capital contribution commitments for Meijia and Dongguan Jiasheng was RMB 21 million (approximately $3 million) and RMB 36 million (approximately $5.2 million), respectively. During January to May 2020, the Company made additional capital contribution of RMB 1.05 million (approximately $0.15 million) into Meijia, and RMB 21.0 million (approximately $3.0 million) into Dongguan Jiasheng. As a result, as of the date of this filing, future capital contribution to Meijia and Dogguan Jiasheng has been lowered down to approximately $2.9 million and $2.2 million, respectively, which is required to complete the capital injection before 2025 and 2040, respectively. |
(5) | The Company’s subsidiary Dongguan Jiasheng plans to expand the factory including a warehouse with original estimated budgeted costs of RMB 75 million ($10.8 million). As of December 31, 2019, the Company has already spent RMB 38.7 million ($5.6 million) and estimated additional RMB 36.3 million ($5.2 million) will be spent on the remaining construction work, window frames and interior and exterior decoration in calendar years 2020 and 2021.
Subsequently, from January 2020 to May 2020, the Company spent an additional RMB 12.7 million ($1.8 million) on this project. As of the date of this filing, the Company’s future capital commitment on this warehouse is approximately RMB 23.6 million ($3.4 million). The actual investment amount might be adjusted based on further confirmed capital needs. The construction is expected to be completed by first quarter 2021. |
As a result of the above-mentioned subsequent payment for the registered capital injection to meet the SAIC requirement and capital expenditure on the construction in progress (“CIP”) project, the Company’s material contractual obligations as of the date of this filing has been lowered down to the following:

We plan to fund these CIP projects through our working capital generated from our operations, bank borrowings, the proceeds from the IPO and other capital raising activities.
As of December 31, 2019, the Company had future minimum capital expenditure commitment of approximately $11 million related to operating lease, repayment of bank loans, equity investment obligation, capital injection obligation and its construction-in-progress projects within the next twelve months. Subsequently, the Company invested additional $1.8 million on construction of its warehouse during January to April 2020 period. As of the date of this filing, total capital expenditure commitment for the next 12 months has been lowered down from $11.0 million as of December 31, 2019 to approximately $8.4 million.
We plan to meet our future capital expenditure commitment through our working capital generated from our operations, bank borrowings, the proceeds from the IPO and other capital raising activities. Our major capital source including the following:
As of December 31, 2019, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $1.4 million. We also had short-term investments of approximately $7.3 million because we used the excessive cash from the IPO proceeds to purchase interest-bearing wealth management financial products from banks and such short-term investments have maturities ranging from one to three months. These short-term investments are highly liquid and can be used as working capital when needed. We also had outstanding accounts receivable of approximately $4.6 million (including accounts receivable of approximately $4.2 million from third-party customers and approximately $0.4 million accounts receivable from related parties), among which approximately $3.7 million or 79.6% has been subsequently collected back during January to May 2020 , and become available for use in our operation as working capital if necessary.
As of December 31, 2019, we had outstanding bank loans of approximately $4.3 million (RMB 30 million) from various banks in China. To secure these debts, we pledged certain land use rights and buildings as collateral to safeguard these bank loans, and Mr. Silong Chen and his parents also jointly signed a maximum guarantee agreement to provide additional guarantee to these bank loans. We expect that we would be able to renew all of our existing bank loans upon their maturity based on past experience and our good credit history. Subsequently, on February 6, 2020, one of the Company’s subsidiaries in the U.S., Dogness Group LLC, signed a loan agreement with Cathay Bank and obtained a line of credit $1.2 million for two years at the U.S. prime rate.
We are now also exploring additional capital raising opportunities. Management expects to generate significant amount of revenue from the newly developed intelligent pet products, which may further strengthen our cash position.
As of December 31, 2019, our current assets were approximately $21.2 million, and our current liabilities were approximately $10.4 million, which resulted in working capital of approximately $10.8 million and a current ratio of 2.0:1. Total shareholders’ equity as of December 31, 2019 was approximately $60.0 million.
Based on the current operating plan, we believe that the above-mentioned measures collectively will provide sufficient liquidity for the Company to meet its future liquidity and capital requirement for at least next 12 months from the date of this filing.
Recent developments
Coronavirus (“COVID-19”) Impact
Our operations are also affected by the recent and ongoing outbreak of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) which in March 2020, was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. The COVID-19 outbreak is causing lockdowns, travel restrictions, and closures of businesses. Our business has been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak to a certain extent.
From late January 2020 to the middle of February 2020, we had to temporarily suspend our manufacturing activities due to government restrictions. During the temporary business closure period, our employees had very limited access to our manufacturing facilities and the shipping companies were not available and as a result, we experienced difficulty delivering our products to our customers on a timely basis. In addition, due to the COVID-19 outbreak, some of our customers or suppliers may experience financial distress, delay or default on their payments, reduce the scale of their business, or suffer disruptions in their business due to the outbreak. Any increased difficulty in collecting accounts receivable, delayed raw materials supply, bankruptcy of small and medium businesses, or early termination of agreements due to deterioration in economic conditions could negatively impact our results of operations.
11 |
We have gradually resumed our sales activities and productions in China since middle February 2020. Our business activities have been fully brought back to normal track in late March 2020. However, due to COVID-19 impact, the number of our employees decreased approximately 10% due to travel restrictions. As of the date of this filing, the COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak in China appears to have slowed down and most provinces and cities have resumed business activities under the guidance and support of the government. However, there is still significant uncertainty around the world regarding the breadth and duration of business disruptions related to COVID-19, which could continue to impact our export sales to the U.S. and other international markets. Although our U.S. office remained open, some of our staff in that office worked remotely. All staff are back to regular schedule since May 1, 2020. In addition, we have experienced reduced orders and slower responses from customers and other business partners as a result of such third parties’ staff working from home. On the other hand, we have seen the mix of fulfilled by merchant orders on shopping platforms increase due to such platforms’ slower shipping schedules for certain of our products
In light of the current circumstances and available information, we estimate that for the period from January to April 2020, our revenues could be approximately 50% lower as compared to the same period of last year, to an estimated amount of $4.6 million. To mitigate the impact of COVID-19 pandemic, our sales team increases sales and marketing efforts to work with online sales channels, large ecommerce platforms and large wholesalers, such as JD, Tmall, Taobao, Amazon, BestBuy and Costco. We have seen a sign of consumption rebound from both our domestic and international sales. We are currently upgrading our products and optimizing product categories to get ready for the expected demand rebound. We expect the negative impact of the COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak on our business to be temporary and our revenues to grow after the pandemic for both of our innovative smart pet products and high-quality traditional pet products.
Dogness Pet Culture (Dongguan) Co. Ltd.
On January 15, 2020, one of the Company’s subsidiaries, Dongguan Dogness, entered into an agreement with one of the original shareholders of Dogness Pet Culture (Dongguan) Co. Ltd. (“Dogness Culture”), who is related to Mr. Silong Chen, our Chief Executive Officer, to acquire 51.2% ownership interest of Dogness Culture with nominal consideration. Dogness Culture was originally incorporated on December 14, 2018 and had no active business operations since its inception.

Total registered capital of Dogness Culture is RMB 10 million (approximately $1.4 million). On April 16, 2020, Dongguan Dogness contributed RMB 5.12 million (approximately 0.73 million) into Dogness Culture which represents 51.2% of total registered capital. The remaining ownership interests are owned by two unrelated parties. Dogness Culture will mainly focus on developing and cultivating pet culture, guiding pet related consumption and expanding potential pet related consumer markets.
Bank Line of Credit
On February 6, 2020, one of the Company’s subsidiaries in the U.S., Dogness Group LLC, signed a loan agreement with Cathay Bank to allow Dogness Group LLC to borrow a total of $1.2 million for two years at the U.S. prime rate. The loan is secured by a general security agreement covering the Plano, Texas office building property of Dogness Group LLC. The purpose of this loan is to expand the business operation and increase the marketing and sales activities in the United States and other international markets. As of the date of this filing, Dogness Group LLC has received $900,000 from this loan.
Meijia Manufacturing Facility Started the Production Run
On March 16, 2018, the Company acquired 100% of the equity interests in Zhangzhou Meijia Metal Product Co., Ltd (“Meijia”) from its original shareholder, for a total cash consideration of RMB 71.0 million ($10.7 million). After the acquisition, the Company started building its own facilities and office spaces to expand the production capacity in order to fulfill increased customer orders. The Company invested approximately RMB 110 million ($16.0 million) on the renovation and purchase of equipment and machinery to bring Meijia manufacturing facility into use. Meijia plant started test operations in August 2019, and has started normal production since December 2019 upon passing the final inspection conducted by the local government. The Company expects that the Meijia plant will reach its designed production capacity by June 2021.

This transition approach provides a method for recording existing leases only at the date of adoption and does not require previously reported balances to be adjusted. In addition, we elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, allowed us to carry forward the historical lease classification. Adoption of the new standard resulted in the recording of additional lease assets and lease liabilities of approximately $5.4 million and $1.5 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2019. The standard did not materially impact our consolidated net earnings and had no impact on cash flows.
Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” or ASU 2016-13. ASU 2016-13 requires companies to measure credit losses utilizing a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a range of reasonable information to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables and available-for-sale debt securities. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including those interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting this standard, but based on a preliminary assessment, does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its 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,” or ASU 2018-13. ASU 2018-13 removes, modifies and adds certain disclosure requirements in Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurement”. ASU 2018-13 eliminates certain disclosures related to transfers and the valuations process, clarifies the measurement uncertainty disclosure, and requires additional disclosures for Level 3 fair value measurements, including the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact on its disclosures.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740)—Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. ASU 2019-12 is intended to simplify accounting for income taxes. It removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect adoption of the new guidance to have a significant impact on our financial statements.
