Covid-19
The full extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, operations and financial results will depend on numerous evolving factors that we may not be able to accurately predict at the present time. In an effort to contain COVID-19 or slow its spread, governments around the world have enacted various measures, including orders to close all businesses not deemed "essential," isolate residents to their homes or places of residence, and practice social distancing when engaging in essential activities. We anticipate that these actions and the global health crisis caused by COVID-19 will negatively impact business activity across the globe. The movie industry in general has changed dramatically as a result of the pandemic restrictions. While movie theaters struggle to stay alive, online streaming programming has increased. We have endeavored to stay with the trend for streaming services to remain competitive. We have experienced the negative impact in our results of operations and in our financial condition for the year ended August, 2020, especially with respect to the movie distribution end of our business. These impacts concern delays in delivering our movies and IP because of health restrictions imposed on certain public events that concern our business, including, among other things, theaters, indoor and outdoor performances, filming restrictions, music festivals, concerts and other such events, Some of these restrictions include pandemic government mandated shutdowns and others restrictions on capacity gathered at these events, with some jurisdictions imposing fines or revocation of business licensing, and other restrictions. As a result of these factors, our revenue was reduced from March to May of 2020. With immediate closures, the resultant industry and business specific delays have negatively affected our company.
We plan to focus on the video streaming and other web based applications and
expand our business into those areas that we believe we situate the company for
continued and increased revenues. As the pandemic is forecasted to worsen in
Specific to our company operations, during the pandemic period, we have enacted precautionary measures to protect the health and safety of our employees and partners. These measures include closing our office, having employees work from home, and eliminating all travel. While having employees work from home may have a negative impact on efficiency and may result in negligible increases in costs, it does have an impact on our ability to execute on our agreements to deliver our core products.
We will continue to actively monitor the situation and may take further actions that alter our business operations as may be required by federal, state, local or foreign authorities, or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers, partners and stockholders. It is not clear what the potential effects any such alterations or modifications may have on our business, including the effects on our customers, partners, or vendors, or on our financial results.

The decrease in revenue for the three months ended
We expect to achieve increasing revenues within the coming months especially with respect to our streaming products. However, we have limited operating history to rely upon and in the face of a worldwide pandemic, we cannot guarantee that our business plan will be successful. Management notes that its decision to accelerate the development and launch date of its video streaming service was largely also in part to the mandatory quarantines being implemented due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which has increased viewership of video streaming services and the Internet by as much as 70% over the course of the past several weeks. We launched our streaming service at the end of 2020.
Our cost of revenues was
As a result, we had gross loss of
The reason for the decrease in our gross profit margin in 2020 over 2019 is attributable to the cease in operation of the Ai Bian Quan Qiu platform, which has created an adverse impact on the business and financial condition and hampered its ability to generate revenue and access sources of liquidity on reasonable terms.
Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses for three months ended
We experienced an increase in general and administrative expenses in 2020 over 2019, mainly as a result of increased rent, salaries, valuation fees, consulting fees, issuance expense for convertible notes, travel and entertainment, and depreciation expense, etc.
We anticipate our operating expenses will increase as we undertake our plan of
operations, including increased costs associated with marketing, personnel, and
other general and administrative expenses, along with increased professional

Financing activities provided
Based upon our current financial condition, we do not have sufficient cash to operate our business at the current level for the next twelve months. We intend to fund operations through increased sales and debt and/or equity financing arrangements, which may be insufficient to fund expenditures or other cash requirements. We plan to seek additional financing in a private equity offering to secure funding for operations. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising additional funding. If we are not able to secure additional funding, the implementation of our business plan will be impaired. There can be no assurance that such additional financing will be available to us on acceptable terms or at all.
