Mr. Junfeng Wang, Chief Executive Officer of Roan, commented, "The Company’s business has experienced substantial changes in recent years. We have modified our business models and reduced direct loan business. The Company disposed of the entire direct lending business in September 2020. For fiscal year 2020, the Company was primarily engaged in asset management and financial services, financial guarantee and financial consulting business. Roan also set up subsidiaries in the healthcare industry and started to build long-term relationships with insurance and medical services partners, as well as big data technology partners to provide services in innovative insurance, intelligent diagnosis and treatment and data management. At the same time, the company is developing tumor prevention, tumor adjuvant treatment, postoperative nutritional supplement and rehabilitation related products for patients with cancers, and has obtained the total distribution right of three products."
Mr. Wang continued, "Roan also aims to provide one-stop solutions in customized insurance and health management as the Company continues to bolster innovative applications of technologies in healthcare, artificial intelligence and blockchain within integrated medical, health management and insurance use cases through leveraging the strength of Lixin in sales and marketing channels. The Company is confident that our new business focus will drive new growth as we expand our cooperation with more established companies in other industries and enhance our competitiveness in innovative insurance services, which are expected to generate meaningful financial returns for our shareholders and partners going forward."
Ms. Lifang Lou, Acting Chief Financial Officer, commented, "We were able to deliver stable development momentum as our net revenues reached $2.13 million in 2020, despite the fact that the Company was undergoing major changes of business operations and that the COVID-19 pandemic had an adverse impact on the economic activities in China and the world. The Company also repaid all external loans as we disposed of direct lending business. Looking ahead, we remain committed to maintaining the original scale of financial services, promoting new business development strategies, and further accelerating the integration of insurance and healthcare services, and we believe the above measures will lay a solid foundation for profitability in the long run."
Fiscal Year 2020 Financial Results
Revenues
Revenues from services increased by $1.49 million, or 233%, from $0.64 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, to $2.13 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The following table sets forth a breakdown of our revenue by services offered for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019:
| For the years ended | Variance | |||||||||||||||
| ($ millions, differences due to rounding) | 2020 | 2019 | Amount | % | ||||||||||||
| Management and assessment services | $ | 0.02 | $ | 0.14 | $ | (0.12) | -86% | |||||||||

| Consulting services relating to financial guarantee | – | 0.01 | (0.01) | -100% | ||||||||||||
| Revenues from services | $ | 2.13 | $ | 0.64 | $ | 1.49 | 233% | |||||||||
Management and assessment services
Revenues from management and assessment services decreased by $0.12 million, or 86%. The primary reason of the decrease was due to a majority of revenues from the contracts obtained in 2018 were recognized in the year ended December 31, 2019. In the year ended December 31, 2020, we did not engage in much management and assessment services due to the change of our business focus.
Consulting services relating to debt collection
The Company provides consulting services relating to debt collection with certain factoring companies, through Lixin which were acquired in late December 2019. The significant increase of $1.61 million, or 327%, was because we consolidated a full year of Lixin’s operating results in 2020, whereas in 2019, we only consolidated Lixin’s results of operations from December 20, 2019 to December 31, 2019.
Commissions and fees on financial guarantee services
Commissions and fees on financial guarantee services increased by $0.37 million, or 4168%, for the year ended December 31, 2020, as compared to the same period of 2019. The reason for the increase was because we consolidated a full year of Lixin’s results of operations in 2020, whereas in 2019, we only consolidated Lixin’s results from December 20, 2019 to December 31, 2019.
Interest and fee income
Interest and fee income primarily consisted of interest and fee income generated from factoring business and from loans due from third parties. Interest and fee income decreased by $0.40 million, or 14%, for the year ended December 31, 2020, as compared to the same period of 2019. The reason for the decrease was mainly because Zhiyuan Commercial Factoring (Guangzhou) Co., Limited ("Zhiyuan"), a former subsidiary engaged in factoring business which we sold in September 2020, did not conduct any factoring business during fiscal 2020 due to the Company’s change of business plan. As a result, interest and fee income from factoring business decreased by $2.78 million. The decrease in interest income from factoring business was offset by the increase of $2.13 million in interest income from loans advanced to third parties through our Lixin’s operations after our acquisition of Lixin in December 2019.
Interest expenses and fees on secured loans
Interest expenses and fees on secured loans decreased by $2.22 million, or 100%, from the year ended December 31, 2019 to $Nil for the year ended December 31, 2020. The significant decrease of interest expenses and fees on secured loans was because all secured loans were repaid during the year ended December 31, 2019.
Provision for loan losses
The provisions for loan losses related to our direct loan and secured loan lending business conducted through Feng Hui Ding Xin (Beijing) Financial Consulting Co., Limited ("Ding Xin") before 2020. There were no new direct loans and secured loans issued in fiscal 2020 and we disposed of Ding Xing on September 30, 2020. Therefore, provisions for loan losses decreased by $2.24 million, or 100%, from the year ended December 31, 2019 to $Nil for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Operating expenses
Operating expenses in total increased by $2.74 million, or 200%, for year ended December 31, 2020, as compared to $1.37 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase was primarily attributable to the increase of $0.60 million in salaries and employee surcharges and an increase of 1.61 million in other operating expenses. The increases in both of these expenses were primarily due to the consolidation of Lixin’s operating expenses for the full year of 2020.
Income tax expenses
Total Income tax expense was a $0.23 million income tax recovery for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to a $0.24 million income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2019, representing an overall decrease of $0.47 million in income tax expenses. The change was due to an increase of $0.58 million in current income tax expenses in fiscal 2020 compared to fiscal 2019. The increase in current income taxes was primarily attributable to the consolidation of Lixin’s results of operations in 2020, as compared to the consolidation of Lixin’s operating results for only a small stub period in 2019. The increase in current income tax expenses was offset by an increase in income tax recovery of $1.1 million in deferred income tax expense in fiscal 2020 compared to fiscal 2019.
Net income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of income tax
During the year ended December 31, 2020, the net income from discontinued corporation, net of income tax is $Nil. The Company, however, recorded a derecognition loss of $1.95 million from the disposition of Ding Xin in September 2020.
Net income
As a result of the foregoing, the Company had a net loss of $0.85 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, as compared to a net income of $24.29 million for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Basic and diluted net earnings (loss) per share
Basic and diluted net loss per share were $0.70 in 2020, compared to net earnings of $0.93 in the same period of 2019.
Cash and cash equivalents
As of December 31, 2020, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $4.93 million, compared to $6.91 million as of December 31, 2019.
Working capital
The working capital was $48.67 million and $39.45 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.
Recent developments
Between January 2020 and January 2021, the Company has established long-term partnerships in the fields of innovative insurance services, smart health medical services, data mining, and operations with a variety of insurance service partners, medical service partners, and technology and big data partners, including Kunlun Health Insurance Co., Ltd. (Zhejiang Branch), Qidi Blockchain Technology Development Corporation, Ruixin Insurance Technology (Ningbo) Co., Ltd, and Yunxin Internet Hospital (Yinchuan) Co., Ltd.
