Management Commentary
Mr. Xiaodong Chen, CEO of the Company, stated, "This is a milestone agreement for Blue Hat and we are pleased to move forward with the official signing of the definitive agreement. This will broaden our interactive gaming portfolio and allow our Company to increase sales even further through the expansion of available distribution platforms. We were extremely diligent in working to move forward on this acquisition throughout a challenging 2020, and by the end of the year expect to close and acquire a company that will greatly strengthen our mobile games business under favorable terms in both valuation and performance incentives. We feel that the benefits of our combined companies will help to drive greater brand awareness for Blue Hat and each of our lines of business in mobile games, AR toys and AR education."

Csfctech Competition, our subsidiary, has a self-developed game platform supporting multi-terminal online and mobile games. We have a strong background of R&D and game development to go along with a rich variety of games with independent intellectual properties."
Mr. Zhan continued, "We believe the synergies created by our combination will be accelerated by integrating our R&D and strong game operation and distribution platforms, and ultimately optimize our product mix and increase our profitability. This transaction will have long-term market value for both companies."
