PART I

ITEM 1—BUSINESS

Business Development  

AF Ocean Investment Management Company (“AF Ocean”), was incorporated on April 2, 2003 under the laws of the State of Florida. During our nine (9) years of operation as a pizza restaurant (dba “Caramello’s Pizzeria”), we had profits and losses.  Unfortunately, the lack of improvement in the economy, specifically the restaurant industry, began to be reflected in a reduced shareholder value.

On September 19, 2011, the Board of Directors appointed Mr. Andy Z. Fan as Director and Chairman of the Board; Diane J. Harrison stayed on as Director and corporate secretary and treasurer.  On September 21, 2011, Chairman Andy Fan held a special meeting of the Board of Directors to discuss a change in the business strategy and business model for the Company due to the current economic conditions.  


The Board believed that to protect and increase shareholder value, it would be to the advantage, welfare and best interests of the shareholders for the Company to consider alternative corporate strategies to generate new business revenue for the Company.  The Board of Directors and the Shareholders approved moving in a new direction and changing the name of the Company to reflect the new direction and mission.  The approved new strategic direction of the Company was to promote business relations and exchanges between Chinese and U.S. companies, facilitating international mergers and acquisitions, and increasing co-operation between Chinese companies and Wall Street financial institutions.  The new mission is to help Wall Street investors identify and work with respectable and reputable Chinese counterparts and companies and assist Chinese corporations to understand that the only way to benefit from the world’s biggest capital market is through strict and consistent adherence to the rules and regulations that govern companies listed on American stock exchanges.  The Board of Directors proposed and the Shareholders approved changing the name to “AF Ocean Investment Management Company.”


In light of the current international economic conditions the management of the company has modified the strategic objectives of the corporation.  While management still believes that there will be opportunities to work with Chinese companies, management believes that the services that it provides will be expanded to a true international market.  To that end management has begun to explore opportunities throughout Southeast Asia as well as Russia, Canada, Europe and the United States.


To facilitate the new direction, the Board agreed to the sale of some of the Company’s older assets. The disposal of the restaurant assets was approved by Shareholders representing 87% of the shares issued and outstanding and was consummated on September 30, 2011.

Our Business

(1) Principal Products or Services and Their Markets

We provide business consulting services to companies that need assistance in determining the correct strategic direction for their organization; business valuation to position the company for sale or to prepare a business plan to raise capital; market position and market penetration; and the use of going public as a strategy for the current owners of the business if it is privately held.

Management expanded the target market of the People’s Republic of China to accepting business from companies located anywhere is the world.  This was done to have the availability of more and potentially longer term consulting agreements with companies needing a consulting firm with international contacts and experience.  We will also make use of our website, www.afocean.com, for marketing our services to and for communicating with potential and current clients.  

Management is in the process of selecting individuals to become members of our Board of Directors as well as new employees to provide the quality services that we offer.  

Since we are in a recessionary period our large competitors have chosen to retrench and focus their resources on companies generally located outside of China.  Due to the adverse publicity received by numerous Chinese companies that were listed on U.S. markets investors and the buying public in general have shown a propensity to work with companies or purchase from companies other than from the People’s Republic of China.  Even though economic date shows that of the total of U.S. imports from China are approximately 3% of our total imports the negative publicity has caused a backlash for companies doing business with their Chinese counterparts.

(2) Distribution Methods of Our Products

Our services will be provided on the location of the client primarily.  Where research and the development of financial information is necessary we may perform these functions at our offices so that we may involve our full staff to provide the most complete service possible.

Clients will be able to direct where we perform our services to the extent that they are willing to pay the necessary travel and related expenses.  We anticipate that as a new business consulting firm most of our work will be performed at our client’s location initially until we have built a reputation of providing quality services to a variety of international clients.

(3) Status of Any Publicly Announced New Product or Service.

We have not developed any new or unique products or services that would make us stand above our competition. We do believe however that our ability to penetrate the Chinese market due to our extensive contacts in China may be an advantage for our company.

(4) Our Competition

Our competitors are all larger than we are and far more established so that barrier to entry into the international business consulting market will be a formidable one.  Since 2008 we have seen major changes in our industry such as the demise of one of the largest international consulting firms.  There still remain several large firms that not only serve clients internationally but also have a presence in the People’s Republic of China.  The companies that are able to maintain offices in China will have a geographical advantage over us.  The extent of this advantage is difficult to measure as a presence in China does not necessarily translate into more business due to how Chinese companies do business.

We do believe that our large competitors have other advantages.  They have more capital and resources to advertise and to market their businesses.  They have larger staffs and most likely are able to complete many tasks in a shorter period of time.  Due to their larger capital base they are able to attract staff that may be better educated and trained.

 (5) Sources and Availability of Raw Materials

At this time we do not see a critical dependence on any supplier(s) that could adversely affect our operations.  

(6) Dependence on Limited Customers

We do not have any limitation on customers at this time.  Presently we are soliciting business outside of our immediate area.  We have concentrated our efforts over the last five (5) months in trying to gain entry into business in Southeast Asia.  Since we have modified our business plan to include working with companies anywhere in the world we have begun to build out our website to become more internationally known by companies seeking our type of consulting services.

(7) Patents, Trademarks, Licenses, Franchises, Concessions, Royalty Agreements or Labor Contracts

At the present time we do own the domain name, www.afocean.com.  We may rely on certain proprietary technologies, trade secrets, and know-how that are not patentable. Although we may take action to protect our unpatented trade secrets and our proprietary information, in part, by the use of confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants and certain of our contractors, we cannot guaranty that:

·

These agreements will not be breached;

·

We would have adequate remedies for any breach; or

·

Our proprietary trade secrets and know-how will not otherwise become known or be independently developed or discovered by competitors.

We cannot guaranty that our actions will be sufficient to prevent imitation or duplication of our products and services by others or prevent others from claiming violations of their trade secrets and proprietary rights.

(8) Need for Government Approval of Principal Products or Services

None of the services we offer require specific government approval. Local government rules may dictate the need for a business license.




6


(9) Government Regulation

As a company specializing in consulting services we are subject to a limited variety of local, state, and federal regulations.   As a Florida corporation we must file an annual report with the Department of State in Florida.  There are no federal or state regulations that require a special business license for our services.

While we believe that our operations are in compliance with all applicable regulations, there can be no assurances that from time to time unintentional violations of such regulations will not occur. We are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations applied to businesses, such as payroll taxes on the state and federal levels. In general, our services and activities are subject only to local business licensing requirements.

 (10) Research and Development during Our Last Two Fiscal Years

During the last two fiscal years we do not know of any specific research and development that took place.  Since the change in control in September of 2011 we have begun researching the development of business services to be offered.  The cost of our research and development is limited and we do not feel the cost of developing additional services will have any significant impact on our profitability.

In addition to researching new business services to offer our potential clients, we are researching small changes to our business model.  This would include pursuing clients internationally as well contracting our services to our larger competitors.

(11) Cost and Effects of Compliance with Environmental Laws

As a business consulting firm we are not subject to federal, state or local environmental laws.  

(12) Our Employees

At December 31, 2012 there were two (2) full-time paid employees and two (2) unpaid employees.  Our President, Andy Z. Fan, the majority shareholder in AF Ocean, devotes a minimum of 40 hours per week to the Company.  As the business increases, he will delegate more of his work to new employees yet to be hired.  In addition, Diane J. Harrison our Secretary/Treasurer devotes approximately 15 hours per week to AF Ocean Investment management Company.  Ms. Harrison has a law firm that works with small public companies and their reporting requirements as well as with private companies dealing with corporate matters.

Reports to Security Holders

We will be required to file reports and other information with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) when our registration statement is effective and we are a fully reporting company. You may read and copy any document that we file at the SEC’s public reference facilities at 100 F. Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549. Please call the SEC at 1-800-732-0330 for more information about its public reference facilities. Our SEC filings will be available to you free of charge at the SEC’s web site at <www.sec.gov>. We believe that we will be an electronic filer making our information available through an Internet site maintained by the SEC that contains reports, proxy and information statements and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC.  This information may be found at www.sec.gov.

We are not required by the Florida Revised Statutes to provide annual reports. At the request of a shareholder, we will send a copy of an annual report to include audited financial statements. In the event we become a reporting company with the SEC, we will file all necessary quarterly and annual reports.

ITEM 1A—RISK FACTORS

Before you invest in our common stock, you should be aware that there are risks, as described below. You should carefully consider these risk factors together with all of the other information included in this prospectus before you decide to purchase shares of our common stock. Any of the following risks could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. We have incurred both profits and losses from inception while realizing our revenues and we may never generate substantially more revenues or be profitable in the future.

Risks Relating to Our Business

Economic events have adversely impacted our business and results of operations and may continue to do so.

Many parts of the world including the United States are currently in a recession and we believe that these weak general economic conditions will continue through the end of 2013 and most likely beyond. The ongoing impacts of the housing crisis, high unemployment and the rising of commodities prices may further exacerbate current economic conditions that impact our business. As the economy struggles, businesses may become more apprehensive about the economy and/or related factors, and may reduce their level of spending on retaining outside consultants. A decrease in spending due to lower business to business spending or a lack of confidence in the economy could impact the frequency with which our potential clients retain outside consultants thereby decreasing our revenues and negatively affecting our operating results. Additionally, we believe there is a risk that if the current negative economic conditions persist for a long period of time and become more pervasive, businesses might make long-lasting changes to their budgets on a more permanent basis.

Current general business economic conditions could reduce our client availability which would have an adverse effect on our revenues.

We are susceptible to economic slowdowns. In particular, our business caters primarily to businesses that have a need for outside consulting services. We believe that the majority of our revenues will be derived from businesses with the working capital to retain our services. Accordingly, we believe that our business is particularly susceptible to any factors that cause a reduction in working capital. We also believe that companies generally are more willing to make discretionary decisions, including the retention of outside consultants, during periods in which favorable economic conditions prevail. The changes in working capital, as a result of the current economic slowdown and reduction in consumer confidence will adversely affect our revenues.

The future performance of the U.S. economy and global economies are uncertain and are directly affected by numerous global and national factors, in addition to other factors that are beyond our control. These factors, which also affect discretionary consumer spending, include among other items, international, national, regional and local economic conditions, disposable consumer income, consumer confidence, terrorist attacks and the United States’ participation in military actions. We believe that these factors have adversely impacted our business and, should these conditions continue, worsen or be perceived to be worsening or should similar conditions occur in the future, we would expect them to continue to adversely impact our business.

There are factors both within and without our control that can cause our results of operations to fluctuate significantly.

A number of factors have historically affected, and will continue to affect, our company’s revenue including, among other factors:

·

our ability to execute our business strategy effectively;

·

competition;

·

business trends; and

·

general international, national, regional and local economic conditions.

Our results of operations and revenues could be adversely affected by our inability to expand our company operations.

There are factors which may impact the amount of time and money required for the expansion of our company business, including but not limited to, business working capital, include among other items, international, national, regional and local economic conditions, consumer confidence, terrorist attacks and the United States’ participation in military actions.

Our growth depends on our ability to expand and operate profitably.

Our ability to expand is dependent upon a number of factors, some of which are beyond our control, including but not limited to our ability to:

·

develop additional sources of marketing that are within our budgetary constraints;  

·

raise, borrow or have available an adequate amount of money for expansion costs;

·

hire, train and retain the skilled management and other employees necessary to meet staffing needs in a timely manner;

·

successfully promote our business and compete in the consulting market.

Our existing personnel, management systems, financial controls, information systems and other systems and procedures may be inadequate to support any expansion, which could require us to incur substantial expenditures that could adversely affect our operating results.





8


Our company may not be able to compete successfully with other consulting firms and, as a result, we may not achieve our profitability.

Our industry is intensely competitive with respect to price and quality of service.  We compete with national and regional firms as well as independently owned small to medium size business consulting firms.  Compared to our business, our competitors may have greater financial and other resources, have been in business longer, have greater name recognition and be better established in the market where our business is located.

Our success depends in part upon the continued use of outside consulting firms by businesses.

Shifts in business preferences away from outside consulting services could materially adversely affect our operating results. The consulting industry is characterized by the continual introduction of new concepts and is subject to rapidly changing business preferences. Our success depends in part on our ability to anticipate and respond to changing business preferences.

Continued expansion by our competitors in the consulting services industry could prevent us from realizing anticipated benefits from growth in our company revenue.

Our competitors have commenced operations overseas in many of the geographical locations that we are targeting and a key element of our strategy is to expand our sales in these markets. If we overestimate demand for services or underestimate the popularity of our competitors’ services, we may be unable to realize anticipated revenues from expansion into other markets. Similarly, if one or more of our competitors open new offices in our existing markets, revenues in our company may be lower than we expect. Any unanticipated slowdown in demand due to industry growth or other factors could reduce our revenue and results of operations, which could cause our revenue to decline substantially.

Material weaknesses in our financial reporting may cause us to restate our financial statements in the event we discover such weaknesses and are determined to not be acceptable to financial reporting requirements.

We have the responsibility to review the internal controls over financial accounting.  During this review material we may discover material weaknesses that could cause us to have to restate our financial statements.  This could cause us to expend additional funds that would have a material impact on our ability to generate profits and on the profits of past operations.

Taxing authorities may select to audit our federal, state and/or local tax returns from time to time, which may result in tax assessments and penalties that could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

We are subject to federal, state and local taxes in the U.S. Although we believe that our tax reporting is reasonable, if any taxing authority disagrees with the positions taken by the Company on its tax returns, we could have additional tax liabilities, including interest and penalties, which, if material, could have an adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition.

Increases in the prices of labor could reduce our operating margins and our revenues.

We will have the need to hire additional qualified personnel in the future and the cost of these individuals may be higher than anticipated due to demand from competitors. Our labor costs will represent a large portion of our gross revenues. If the cost of labor increases in the future and we choose not to pass, or cannot pass, these increases on to our clients, our operating margins would decrease, perhaps materially.

Our operating results may fluctuate significantly due to economic conditions that make it more difficult for us to predict accurately and address in a timely manner factors that may have a negative impact on our business.

Our business is subject to economic fluctuations that may vary greatly depending upon the national and international business climate. These fluctuations can make it more difficult for us to predict accurately and address in a timely manner factors that may have a negative impact on our business. Accordingly, results for any one quarter are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any other quarter or for any year

Our results of operations are affected by a variety of factors, including decreasing stock markets and have fluctuated significantly in the past and can be expected to continue to fluctuate significantly in the future while the recession continues.

We anticipate that our results of operations will fluctuate significantly and can be expected to continue to fluctuate significantly in the future. Our results of operations are affected by a variety of factors, including:


·

the timing of office openings by competitors;

·

changes in business to business preferences;

·

general economic conditions;

·

stock market conditions; and

·

actions by our competitors.




9


Negative factors or publicity surrounding our business or the consulting industry generally could adversely affect business decisions, which could reduce our sales and make our brand less valuable.

It is our belief that our competitive strengths include the quality of our personnel and their skills. Therefore we believe that adverse publicity relating to our company and its personnel or other similar concerns affects us more than it would competitors that compete primarily on other factors. Any shifts in business preferences away from the kinds of services we offer would make our firm less appealing and adversely affect our revenues.

We may incur additional costs or liabilities and lose revenues impacting operating results as a result of litigation and government regulation affecting the operation of our business.

Our business is not subject to extensive federal, state, and local government regulation.  To the extent that new governmental regulations impose material additional obligations on us, it could cause us to increase the fees we charge our clients.

The costs of operating our business may increase if there are changes in laws governing minimum hourly wages, working conditions, overtime, health care, workers’ compensation insurance rates, unemployment tax rates, sales taxes or other laws and regulations such as those governing access for the disabled, including the Americans with Disabilities Act. If any of these costs were to increase and we were unable to offset the increase by increasing our prices or by other means, this could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

The failure to enforce and maintain our intellectual property rights could enable others to use names confusingly similar to AF Ocean Investment Management Company and other names and marks used by us, which could adversely affect the value of the Ocean’s brand.

We have not registered the “AF Ocean” mark used by our restaurant as a trade name in Florida or any state or the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The success of our business depends on our continued ability to use our existing trade name in order to increase our brand awareness. In that regard, we believe that our trade name is valuable asset that is critical to our success. The unauthorized use or other misappropriation of our trade name could diminish the value of our business and may cause a decline in our revenue.

Any new indebtedness may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, limit our operational and financing flexibility and negatively impact our business.

Any revolving credit facility, and other debt instruments we may enter into in the future, may have negative consequences to the Company, including but not limited to the following:

·

our ability to obtain financing for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or general corporate purposes may be impaired;

·

we may use a substantial portion of our cash flows from operations to pay interest on any new indebtedness, which will reduce the funds available to us for operations and other purposes;

·

our level of indebtedness could place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that may have proportionately less debt;

·

our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which we operate may be limited; and

·

our level of indebtedness may make us more vulnerable to economic downturns and adverse developments in our business.

We expect that we will depend primarily upon our operations to provide funds to pay our expenses and to pay any amounts that may become due under any new credit facility and any other indebtedness we may incur. Our ability to make these payments depends on our future performance, which will be affected by various financial, business, economic and other factors, many of which we cannot control.

We depend on the services of key a key executive, the loss of whom could materially harm our business and our strategic direction if we were unable to replace them with executives of equal experience and capabilities.

Our senior executive, Andy Fan is important to our success because he is instrumental in setting our strategic direction, operating our business, identifying, recruiting and training key personnel, identifying expansion opportunities and arranging any necessary financing. Losing the services of Mr. Fan could adversely affect our business until a suitable replacement could be found. Neither Mr. Fan nor our Secretary, Ms. Diane J. Harrison, are bound by employment agreements with us. We do not maintain key person life insurance policies on any of our executives.




10


We expect to incur substantial expenses to meet our reporting obligations as a public company. In addition, failure to maintain adequate financial and management processes and controls could lead to errors in our financial reporting and could harm our ability to manage our expenses.

Reporting obligations as a public company are likely to place a considerable strain on our financial and management systems, processes and controls, as well as on our personnel. We estimate that it will cost approximately $15,000 annually to maintain the proper management and financial controls for our filings.  In addition, as a public company we are required to document and test our internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, so that our management can certify as to the effectiveness of our internal controls and our independent registered public accounting firm can render an opinion on the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting, which requires us to document and test the design and operating effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting. If our management is unable to certify the effectiveness of our internal controls or if our independent registered public accounting firm cannot render an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting, or if material weaknesses in our internal controls are identified, or if we fail to comply with other obligations imposed by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act rules relating to corporate governance matters, we could be subject to regulatory scrutiny and a loss of public confidence, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and our stock price. In addition, if we do not maintain adequate financial and management personnel, processes and controls, we may not be able to accurately report our financial performance on a timely basis, which could cause a decline in our stock price and adversely affect our ability to raise capital.

We do not have current insurance policies that may provide adequate levels of coverage against claims and we may incur losses without such insurance.

We do not maintain insurance coverage that is customary for businesses of our size and type. However, there are types of losses we may incur that cannot be insured against or that we believe are not commercially reasonable to insure. For example, we believe that insurance covering liability for violations of wage and hour laws is generally not available. These losses, if they occur, could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

Risks Relating to our Common Stock

Our future results may vary significantly in the future which may adversely affect the price of our common stock.

It is possible that our quarterly revenues and operating results may vary significantly in the future and that period-to-period comparisons of our revenues and operating results are not necessarily meaningful indicators of the future. You should not rely on the results of one quarter as an indication of our future performance. It is also possible that in some future quarters, our revenues and operating results will fall below our expectations or the expectations of market analysts and investors. If we do not meet these expectations, the price of our common stock may decline significantly.

 

We do not anticipate paying cash dividends for the foreseeable future, and therefore investors should not buy our stock if they wish to receive cash dividends.

No dividends were declared during 2012 and 2011.  Since our reclassification to a “C” corporation we have not paid any cash dividends or distributions on our capital stock. We currently intend to retain our future earnings to support operations and to finance expansion and therefore we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.

If we fail to continue to comply with the listing requirements of the OTCBB, the price of our common stock and our ability to access the capital markets could be negatively impacted.

Our common stock is currently listed on the OTCBB and the OTC Markets. We are subject to certain continued listing standards. We cannot provide any assurance that we will be able to continue to satisfy the requirements of the OTCBB’s and the OTC Market’s continued listing standards. A delisting of our common stock could negatively affect the price and liquidity of our common stock and could impair our ability to raise capital in the future.

Our stock price will be extremely volatile.

The trading price of our common stock will be subject to wide fluctuations in response to announcements of our business developments or those of our competitors, quarterly variations in operating results, and other events or factors. In addition, stock markets have experienced extreme price volatility in recent years. This volatility has had a substantial effect on the market prices of companies, at times for reasons unrelated to their operating performance. Such broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the price of our stock.

Because we can issue additional shares of common stock, purchasers of our common stock may incur immediate dilution and experience further dilution.




11


We are authorized to issue up to 500,000,000 shares of common stock, of which 7,327,720 shares of common stock are issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2012. Our board of directors has the authority to cause us to issue additional shares of common stock, and to determine the rights, preferences and privileges of such shares, without consent of any of our stockholders. Consequently, the stockholders may experience more dilution in their ownership of our stock in the future.

Since our securities are subject to penny stock rules you may have difficulty selling your shares.

Our shares of common stock are “penny stocks” and are covered by Section 12(g) of the 1934 Securities and Exchange Act which imposes additional sales practices which requires broker/dealers who sell AF Ocean Investment management Company’s securities including the delivery of a standardized disclosure document; disclosure and confirmation of quotation prices; disclosure of compensation the broker/dealer receives; and furnishing monthly account statements.  For sales of our securities a broker/dealer must make a special suitability determination and receive from its customer a written agreement prior to making a sale.  The imposition of the foregoing additional sales practices could adversely affect a shareholder’s ability to dispose of his stock.

Our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation provide for one class of blank check preferred stock solely at the discretion of the Board of Directors.

Our Board of Directors may, at its sole discretion, issue stock from our authorized blank check preferred class.  Shareholders do not have any control regarding the issuance of any shares from this class and may be adversely affected by any such issuance or subsequent sale in the form of dilution, voting, and value of their shares.  The preferred shares may also be issued with preferences or rights that may adversely affect the holders of our common stock.

Since our Secretary, Diane J. Harrison, is also our Chief Financial Officer, legal advisor and a shareholder, there may be a conflict of interest for Ms. Harrison for our company and her other business interests.

Our Secretary is our Chief Financial Officer, legal counsel and a shareholder.  Ms. Harrison has provided the legal opinion for our common stock as the President of Harrison Law, P.A.  Her commitment to her law firm clients may cause a conflict with her acting independently regarding our company.  There may also be a conflict with her acting as our Chief Financial Officer and providing legal counsel.

At the present time our Officers and two of our Directors provide their services on an unpaid basis and may not be able to continue their services without pay.

Since our company is not currently operating with earnings and cash flows to support officer and director salaries, our Officers and two Directors work on an unpaid basis.  If and when the company has increased its operations to support salaries, both of our Officers/Directors will be compensated at the rate of $26,000 per year, which compensation will be adjusted annually based on individual performance and performance of the Company.  Revenues and earnings, as well as sufficient cash flow, will be considered when determining when salaries may be available to our officers and directors.  Cash flows must be sufficient to meet the monthly cash needs of the business.  Earnings are determined quarterly and will be analyzed along with our cash flows to determine if there is sufficient cash remaining after all expenses are paid to commence salaries for Mr. Fan and Ms. Harrison.  Until then, there is a risk that our officers and directors may need to find work elsewhere to supplement their income, distracting them from the store operations resulting in poor quality control and a loss of customers and business.

PART II



ITEM 5—MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES.

Our common stock is currently quoted on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB) under the symbol “AFAN.”  The price of the last sale of our stock at market closing occurred on October 9, 2012 and was $1.30 per share.

As the market for our shares develops, the trading price of the common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to factors such as actual or anticipated variations in quarterly operating results, announcements of technological innovations, new sales formats, or new services by us or our competitors, changes in financial estimates by securities analysts, conditions or trends in Internet or traditional retail markets, changes in the market valuations of other consulting services or accounting related business services, announcements by us or our competitors of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures, capital commitments, additions or departures of key personnel, sales of common stock and other events or factors, many of which are beyond our control. In addition, the stock market in general, and the market for business services in particular, has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of such companies. These broad market and industry factors may materially adversely affect the market price of the common stock, regardless of our operating performance.

Consequently, future announcements concerning us or our competitors, litigation, or public concerns as to the commercial value of one or more of our products or services may cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate substantially for reasons which may be unrelated to operating results.  These fluctuations, as well as general economic, political and market conditions, may have a material adverse effect on the market price of our common stock. 

Cash dividends have not been paid during the last three (3) years. In the near future, we intend to retain any earnings to finance the development and expansion of our business. We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. The declaration and payment of cash dividends by us are subject to the discretion of our board of directors. Any future determination to pay cash dividends will depend on our results of operations, financial condition, capital requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors deemed relevant at the time by the board of directors. We are not currently subject to any contractual arrangements that restrict our ability to pay cash dividends.

During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company issued 4,089,642 shares of stock in exchange for cancellation of debt or for services rendered.

We had forty-two (42) stockholders of record of our common stock as of December 31, 2012.  The CUSIP number for our common stock is 00107N 101.


ITEM 6—SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

We are a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K and as such, are not providing the information contained in this item pursuant to Item 301 of  Regulation S-K.


ITEM 7—MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION


The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the notes thereto.


Forward-Looking Statements


This annual report contains forward-looking statements relating to us that are based on the beliefs of our management as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, our management. When used in this Report, the words “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “expect”, “intend”, “plan” and similar expressions, as they relate to us or our management, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements reflect management’s current view of us concerning future events and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including among many others: our potential inability to raise additional capital, the possibility that third parties hold proprietary rights that preclude us from marketing our products, the emergence of additional competing technologies, changes in domestic and foreign laws, regulations and taxes, changes in economic conditions, uncertainties related to China’s legal system and economic, political and social events in China, a general economic downturn, a downturn in the securities markets, Securities and Exchange Commission regulations which affect trading in the securities of “penny stocks,” and




13


other risks and uncertainties. Should any of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described in this Report as anticipated, estimated or expected.


Use of Certain Defined Terms


Except as otherwise indicated by the context, references in this report to “AF Ocean” “we,” “us,” or “our” and the “Company” are references to the business of AF Ocean Investment Management Company.   


Use of GAAP Financial Measures


We use GAAP financial measures in the section of this quarterly report captioned “Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.” All of the GAAP financial measures used by us in this report relate to the inclusion of financial information.


Overview


This subsection of MD&A is an overview of the important factors that management focuses on in evaluating our businesses, financial condition and operating performance, our overall business strategy and our earnings for the periods covered.


General

We are an operating company that is seeking to commence operations in the business consulting services rather than the restaurant business. We have an operating history and have generated revenues from our prior business model activities that have produced both net incomes and losses in the periods in which we have been fully operational. 

Our Board of Directors believes that we can operate as a business consulting firm during the next twelve months.  A change in the strategic business direction of the Company may take years to complete and future cash flows, if any, are impossible to predict at this time. The realization value from any strategic change in operations is largely dependent on factors beyond our control such as the market for our services.   We may raise cash from sources other than our operations. Our only other source for cash at this time is investment by others in the Company.

Employees


As of December 31, 2012, there were three (3) full time employees (one (1) in Shanghai for Endeavour (Shanghai) Business Services, Ltd. and two (2) in Florida for AF Ocean).  This does not include the two officers and directors, of which there are three, who run the corporation.


Critical Accounting Policies


The preparation of our financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Our actual results could differ from those estimates.  To be as accurate with our estimates as possible, we use our historical data to forecast our future results.  Deviations from our projections are addressed when our financials are reviewed on a monthly basis.  This allows us to be proactive in our approach to managing our business.  It also allows us to rely on proven data rather than having to make assumptions regarding our estimates.


Management does not believe that our actual results are related to any sensitivity in estimates made by management.  The year-end consistency of our results has shown that our prior year’s historical data is the best projector of our future results.


Income Taxes


We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.


We record net deferred tax assets to the extent we believe these assets will more likely than not be realized. In making such determination, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operations. In the event we were to determine that we would be able to realize our deferred income tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, we would make an adjustment to the valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.




14



In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Financial Interpretation (“FIN”) 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (codified primarily in FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes) which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (codified primarily in FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes). FIN 48 provides that a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits.  Income tax positions must meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date to be recognized upon the adoption of FIN 48 and in subsequent periods. This interpretation also provides guidance on measurement, derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. We adopted FIN 48 effective January 1, 2007.  As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company recognized no increase in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits.


Impairment of Long-Lived Assets


Generally accepted accounting principles in the United States require that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by an entity be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  We assess the potential impairment of long-lived assets, principally property and equipment, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. We determine if there is impairment by comparing undiscounted future cash flows from the related long-lived assets with their respective carrying values. In determining future cash flows, significant estimates are made by us with respect to future operating results of the restaurant over its remaining lease term. If assets are determined to be impaired, the impairment charge is measured by calculating the amount by which the asset carrying amount exceeds its fair value. This process of assessing fair values requires the use of estimates and assumptions, which are subject to a high degree of judgment. The adoption of SFAS No. 144 has not materially affected the Company’s reported earnings, financial condition or cash flows.

Liquidity and Capital Resources


As of December 31, 2012, we had cash and cash equivalents of $402,510.  


We changed to our current business model on September 19, 2011.  Since then, we incurred additional liabilities that made our company illiquid while pursuing the new business.


In the event we are unable to generate sufficient funds to continue our business efforts or if the company is pursued by a larger company for a business combination we will analyze all strategies to continue the company and maintain or increase shareholder value.  Under these circumstances we would consider a merger, acquisition, joint venture, strategic alliance, a roll-up, or other business combination for the purposes of continuing the business and maintaining or increasing shareholder value.  Management believes its responsibility to maintain shareholder value is of paramount importance, which means the Company should consider the aforementioned alternatives in the event funding is not available on favorable terms to the Company when needed.

Income (Loss) from Operations. For the year ended December 31, 2012, total revenue was $135,000 compared to $0 for the year ended December 31, 2011.  The total income (loss) from operations was ($625,521) for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to ($19,225) for 2011. All revenue generated in the current year was directly attributable to the operations of the consulting business.   Nonetheless, the loss generated for the year was directly attributable to the start-up operations of the new business.  We began to generate revenue beginning in the second quarter of 2012, and anticipate this will increase in the coming year.  


Operating Expenses. The increase in expenses is due to (1) the addition of two employees, travel expenses for investigating candidate Chinese companies, and professional services necessary for the new operations and (2) the acquisition of Endeavour (Shanghai) Business Services, Ltd, (the WFOE) and its additional employee, professional services expense, and new office rent.


Net Income (Loss). As a result of the factors described above, net income decreased from $20,528 for the year ended December 31, 2011 to ($644,747) for the year ended in 2012.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


General. At December 31, 2012, we had cash and cash equivalents of $402,510. We have met our cash needs through a combination of cash flows from consulting activities and through shareholder loans.  Our cash requirements are generally for professional services and general and administrative activities.  During this year, the majority shareholder also provided the cash for the WFOE acquisition.  We believe that our cash balance is not sufficient to finance our cash requirements for expected operational activities, capital improvements, and partial repayment of debt through the next 12 months.

 

Our operating activities used cash of $55,046 for the year ended December 31, 2012.  The principal elements of cash flow from operations for the year ended December 31, 2012 included a net loss of $644,747.  With only $135,000 in revenue for the year ended December 31, 2012, our operations are continuing to be supported through loans from the majority shareholder.


Our investing activities used cash of $319,315 for the year ended December 31, 2012.


Cash provided by our financing activities was $773,279 and $0 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.


As of December 31, 2012, current liabilities exceeded current assets by 90,818. Assets increased from $34,212 at December 31, 2011 to $718,693 at December 31, 2012, and liabilities increased from $8,290 at December 31, 2011 to $493,328 at December 31, 2012.

Going Concern


The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.  The Company had consulting revenue of $135,000 and  net loss of $644,747 for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to  revenue of $0 and net income of $20,528 for the year ended December 31, 2011.  These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.  The Company has been highly dependent on shareholder loans to fund the operations.  However, during the first quarter of 2013, the Company has already received $180,000 in consulting revenue.  The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to bring in income from its consulting and its ability to continue receiving loans from its shareholders. No assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in these efforts.


Inflation  


Inflation does not materially affect our business or the results of our operations.


Recent Accounting Pronouncements


The Company has carefully considered the new pronouncements that altered generally accepted accounting principles.  The Company does not believe that any new or modified principles will have a material impact on the Company’s reported financial position or operations in the near term, other than the following as reported in our financial statements:


Impairment of Long-lived Assets Long-lived assets such as property, equipment and identifiable intangibles are reviewed for impairment whenever facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.  When required impairment losses on assets to be held and used are recognized based on the fair value of the asset.  The fair value is determined based on estimates of future cash flows, market value of similar assets, if available, or independent appraisals, if required.  If the carrying amount of the long-lived asset is not recoverable from its undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the carrying amount and fair value of the asset.  When fair values are not available, the Company estimates fair value using the expected future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk associated with the recovery of the assets.  We did not recognize any impairment losses for any periods presented.


Revenue Recognition

Revenue from consulting services is recognized according to the terms of the consulting agreement.  Generally, consulting revenue will be recognized over the term of the agreement.  At times deposits or prepayments may result in deferred income which will be recognized into income as the services are performed.  


Share-based Compensation The Company may issue stock options whereby all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options are recognized as compensation expense in the financial statements based on their fair values. That expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). The Company had no common stock options or common stock equivalents granted or outstanding for all periods presented.


The Company accounts for stock-based instruments issued to employees in accordance with ASC Topic 718.  ASC Topic 718 requires companies to recognize in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity based compensation issued to employees.  The value of the portion of an award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense over the requisite service periods using the straight-line attribution method.  The Company accounts for non-employee share-based awards in accordance with the measurement and recognition provisions ASC Topic 505-50.  The Company estimates the fair value of stock options at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.


The Company may issue restricted stock for various business and administrative services.  Cost for these transactions are measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The value of the common stock is measured at the earlier of (i) the date at which a firm commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached or (ii) the date at which the counterparty’s performance is complete.


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements


We do not have any off-balance arrangements.

ITEM 7A—QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.


The following discussion about the Company’s market rate risk involves forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements.


In general, business enterprises can be exposed to market risks, including fluctuation in commodity and raw material prices, foreign currency exchange rates, and interest rates that can adversely affect the cost and results of operating, investing, and financing. In seeking to minimize the risks and/or costs associated with such activities, the Company manages exposure to changes in commodities and raw material prices, interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates through its regular operating and financing activities. The Company does not utilize financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes, nor does the Company utilize leveraged financial instruments or other derivatives.


Our operations are conducted primarily in the United States and are not subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk. Some of our products are sourced internationally and may fluctuate in cost as a result of foreign currency swings, however, we believe these fluctuations have not been significant.



ITEM 8—FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA


See the index to our financial statements in Item 15 and the financial statements and notes that are filed as part of this Annual Report on Form 10-K following the signature page and incorporated herein by this reference.



ITEM 9—CHANGES AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE


On December 13, 2010, we engaged Randall N. Drake CPA, P.A., as our independent auditor. They are our first auditor and we have had no disagreements with them on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, in connection with its reports.

On January 1, 2012, the audit firm of Randall N. Drake CPA, P.A. changed its name to Drake & Klein CPAs.  The change was reported to the PCAOB as a change of name.  This is not a change of auditors for the Company.

On December 17, 2012, the audit firm of Drake & Klein CPAs changed its name to DKM Certified Public Accountants.  The change was reported to the PCAOB as a change of name.  This is not a change of auditors for the Company.

  


ITEM 9A—CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures


We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.


We conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as of December 31, 2012.


Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, at the reasonable assurance level, in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act and in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is

accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Principal Executive Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely discussions regarding required disclosure due to the material weaknesses described below.


In light of the material weaknesses described below, we performed additional analysis and other post-closing procedures to ensure that our consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, we believe that the consolidated financial statements included in this Amended Annual Report fairly present in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows as of and for the year presented.


Management Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting


The management of the Corporation is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control system is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance to management and to the board of directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements.


Our internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect transactions and dispositions of assets; provide reasonable assurances that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the directors of the Corporation; and provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Corporation’s assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.


Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control - Integrated Framework - Guidance for Smaller Public Companies (the COSO criteria). Based on our assessment, management identified material weaknesses related to: (i) our internal audit functions and (ii) a lack of segregation of duties within accounting functions.  Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that as of December 31, 2012, we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting.


Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with any policies and procedures may deteriorate. Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. To the extent possible, we will implement procedures to assure that the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions will be performed by separate individuals. With proper funding we plan on remediating the significant deficiencies identified above, and we will continue to monitor the effectiveness of these steps and make any changes that our management deems appropriate.


A material weakness is a control deficiency (within the meaning of Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) Auditing Standard No. 5) or combination of control deficiencies, that results in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.


Auditor Attestation


This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Corporation’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.


Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting


There were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2012, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our directors and executive officers and any persons who beneficially own more than 10% of our capital stock to file with the Commission (and, if such security is listed on a national securities exchange, with such exchange), various reports as to ownership of such capital stock. Such persons are required by Commission regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely upon reports and representations submitted by the directors, executive officers and holders of more than 10% of our capital stock, all Forms 3, 4 and 5 showing ownership of and changes of ownership in our capital stock during 2012 were timely filed with the Commission, with the exception of Mr. Macleod who filed his Form 3 late.

Certain Relations and Related Transactions:

Director Independence


In accordance with the rules of the Commission, the Board of Directors has evaluated each of its directors’ independence from the Company based on the definition of “independence” established Item 407(a) of Regulation S-K. In its review of each director’s independence from the Company, the Board of Directors reviewed whether any transactions or relationships exist currently or, during the past year existed, between each director and the Company and its subsidiaries, affiliates, equity investors or independent registered public accounting firm. The Board of Directors also examined whether there were any transactions or relationships between each director and members of the senior management of the Company or their affiliates.

 

Based on the Board of Director’s review and the Commission’s definition of “independence,” the Board of Directors has determined we currently have one independent director:  Gary Macleod who fulfills the audit, nominating and compensation committee functions.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.


In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of AF Ocean Investment Management Company as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.


These financial statements have been restated as described in Note 12 to the Financial Statements

AF OCEAN INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT COMPANY

(Combined AF Ocean Investment Management Company and Endeavour (Shanghai) Business Services Co. Ltd.)

 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2012



NOTE 1.

BACKGROUND AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION


Background.  AF Ocean Investment Management Company, formerly known as Dinello Restaurant Ventures, Inc., was incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida on April 2, 2003.  After disposing of the restaurant assets (see Note 10 below), AF Ocean Investment Management Company (together with its subsidiaries, hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Company”, “AF Ocean” or “we”) changed its operations to promoting business relations and exchanges between Chinese and U.S. companies, facilitating international mergers and acquisitions, and increasing co-operation between Chinese companies and Wall Street financial institutions.  The new mission is to help Wall Street investors identify and work with respectable and reputable Chinese counterparts and companies and assist Chinese corporations to understand that the only way to benefit from the world’s biggest capital market is through strict and consistent adherence to the rules and regulations that govern companies listed on American stock exchanges.


On July 6, 2012, the Company completed the acquisition of Endeavour (Shanghai) Business Services Co., Ltd., a wholly foreign-owned enterprise (“WFOE” or “Endeavour (Shanghai)”) in Shanghai.  Pursuant to the terms of the Equity and Capital Contribution Transfer Agreement, which was executed on May 4, 2012, the Company acquired all of the interest in Endeavour (Shanghai) from Island Capital Management, LLC, a Florida limited liability company, in exchange for $200,000 plus a $100,000 Promissory Note convertible into 150,000 shares of the common stock of AF Ocean.  The acquisition was approved by Shanghai Government; accordingly, a Certificate of Approval and a Business License were issued to AF Ocean.  AF Ocean Chairman & President Andy Fan was in Shanghai to witness and celebrate the smooth transfer. Following the consummation of the transaction, Endeavour (Shanghai) Business Services Co., Ltd. became a wholly-owned subsidiary of AF Ocean in China which we believe furthers the Company’s mission of increasing cooperation between Chinese and U.S. companies.


President Fan personally contributed the $200,000 lump sum payment on behalf of the Company and on July 9, 2012, in exchange for cancelling the $200,000 debt, the Company issued 1,000,000 shares of stock to Mr. Fan (a stock value of $0.20 per share).




NOTE 2.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Basis of Consolidation.   

The financial statements include the accounts and activity of AF Ocean Investment Management Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Endeavour (Shanghai) Business Services, CO. Ltd. as of July 6, 2012, the date of acquisition.  All intercompany balances and activity have been eliminated.  



Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates.   

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of AF Ocean at December 31, 2012 and 2011 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, are audited.


The Company prepares its financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. These principles require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management believes that these estimates are reasonable and have been discussed with the Board of Directors; however, actual results could differ from those estimates.




Cash and Cash Equivalents.  The majority of cash is maintained with a major financial institution in the United States.  Deposits with this bank may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits.  Generally, these deposits may be redeemed on demand and, therefore, bear minimal risk.  The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three



-34-

months or less to be cash equivalents.




Property and Equipment.  Property and equipment is stated at cost.  Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method over estimated useful lives.   The carrying amount of all long-lived assets is evaluated periodically to determine if adjustment to the depreciation and amortization period or the unamortized balance is warranted. Based upon its most recent analysis, the Company believes that no impairment of property and equipment exists at December 31, 2012.




Foreign Currency Translation.  The Company addressed the effect of the exchange rate differences resulting from the translation of the financial statements of its WFOE into the consolidated corporate statements on the Balance Sheet with an Exchange rate adjustment of $231.  The effect of the foreign currency translation is recorded in comprehensive income.  The relative value of the Chinese RMB to the U.S. Dollar remained relatively constant during the year ended 2012 ranging from 6.388 to 6.222 RMB to the dollar.




Intangible Assets.   Intangible assets consist of business licenses in the Peoples’ Republic of China and goodwill acquired in an acquisition during 2012.  Management believes that these assets have unlimited lives and will not be amortized.  




Impairment of Long-lived Assets. Long-lived assets such as property, equipment and identifiable intangibles are reviewed for impairment whenever facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.  When required impairment losses on assets to be held and used are recognized based on the fair value of the asset.  The fair value is determined based on estimates of future cash flows, market value of similar assets, if available, or independent appraisals, if required.  If the carrying amount of the long-lived asset is not recoverable from its undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the carrying amount and fair value of the asset.  When fair values are not available, the Company estimates fair value using the expected future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk associated with the recovery of the assets.  We did not recognize any impairment losses for any periods presented.




Revenue Recognition.

Revenue from consulting services is recognized according to the terms of the consulting agreement.  Generally, consulting revenue will be recognized over the term of the agreement.  At times deposits or prepayments may result in deferred income which will be recognized into income as the services are performed.  




Share-based Compensation.  

The Company may issue stock options whereby all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options are recognized as compensation expense in the financial statements based on their fair values. That expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). The Company had no common stock options or common stock equivalents granted or outstanding for all periods presented.


The Company accounts for stock-based instruments issued to employees in accordance with ASC Topic 718.  ASC Topic 718 requires companies to recognize in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity based compensation issued to employees.  The value of the portion of an award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense over the requisite service periods using the straight-line attribution method.  The Company accounts for non-employee share-based awards in



-35-

accordance with the measurement and recognition provisions ASC Topic 505-50.  The Company estimates the fair value of stock options at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.


The Company may issue restricted stock for various business and administrative services.  Cost for these transactions are measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The value of the common stock is measured at the earlier of (i) the date at which a firm commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached or (ii) the date at which the counterparty’s performance is complete.   There was no share-based compensation paid in the years ended December 31, 2011 or 2010.  For the year ended December 31, 2012, the following shares were issued as compensation for services rendered:

Advertising.  The costs of advertising are expensed as incurred.  Advertising expense was $1,944 for the year ended December 31, 2012.





Income Taxes.  The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the provisions of ASC 740-10, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” which requires, among other things, an asset and liability approach to calculating deferred income taxes.  The asset and liability approach requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities.  A valuation allowance is provided to offset any net deferred tax assets for which management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred asset will not be realized.



Earnings per Share.  In accordance with ASC 260-10, “Earnings Per Share”, basic net earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net earnings (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings (loss) per share are computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common stock equivalent shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings (loss) per share calculations are determined by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares plus the effect of the dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method.


Diluted income per share includes the dilutive effects of stock options, warrants, and stock equivalents.  To the extent stock options, stock equivalents and warrants are anti-dilutive; they are excluded from the calculation of diluted income per share. As of December 31, 2012, there were approximately 150,000 share equivalents, resulting from the issuance of a convertible note.

Segment Information.  In accordance with the provisions of ASC 280-10, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”, the Company is required to report financial and descriptive information about its reportable operating segments which meet the quantitative thresholds delineated.  The Company has one reporting segment that does not meet any of the quantitative thresholds to require separate reporting.   However, see Note 8 for limited disclosure.




Recent Accounting Pronouncements.  The Company reviews new accounting standards as issued. No new standards had any material effect on these financial statements. The accounting pronouncements issued subsequent to the date of these financial statements that were considered significant by management were evaluated for the potential effect on these consolidated financial statements. Management does not believe any of the subsequent pronouncements will have a material effect on these consolidated financial statements as presented and does not anticipate the need for any future restatement of these consolidated financial statements because of the retro-active application of any accounting pronouncements issued subsequent to September 30, 2012 through the date these financial statements were issued.




Reclassification of Discontinued Operations

In accordance with the rules regarding the presentation of discontinued operations the assets, liabilities and activity of the pizza business have been reclassified as a discontinued operation for all periods presented.





NOTE 3.

GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.  The Company discontinued its restaurant operations in 2011 and continuing to evaluate its new direction (see Note 7).  The Company had $135,000  in income for the year ended December 31, 2012 from consulting services.  For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company sustained net losses of  ($644,747) and used cash in operating activities of ($55,046).  These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.  The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate revenues through its new business direction.  

 

The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.




NOTE 4.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS


During the year ended December 31, 2012, the majority shareholder advanced the Company $673,278, of which $437,242 has been converted to 2,186,212 shares of common stock (a conversion price of $0.20 per share).  The remaining $236,036 is treated as a loan from the majority shareholder, although no repayment terms have been established.  In addition, the Company issued 1,032,200 shares to its directors for services

rendered and a signing bonus. (the stock was valued at $0.20 per share)


The deferred revenue for the period ending December 31, 2012 was subsequently recognized to the income received on March 25, 2013 for $65,000 and the income received on April 15, 2013 for $135,000.   




NOTE 5.

INCOME TAX


The Company is subject to taxation in the U.S. and various state jurisdictions. As of December 31, 2012 the Company’s tax years for 2009, 2010 and 2011 are subject to examination by the tax authorities. With few exceptions, as of December 31, 2011, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal and state examinations by tax authorities for years before 2008.


The Company’s actual tax rate varies from the statutory rate (federal and state) due to utilization of full valuation allowances.  As of June 30, 2013, the Company notes that ASC 740-10 has had no material changes.




NOTE 6.

NOTE PAYABLE


On July 6, 2012 AF Ocean signed a convertible promissory Note to Island Capital Management, in the amount of $100,000, with stated interest of 5% and a one year maturity date of July 6, 2013, convertible into 150,000 shares of stock.  The accrued interest on the note is recorded in accrued expenses.  The debt discount associated with the conversion to stock at a stated rate was $51,953 and amortized for the portion of the year from July 6, 2012 to December 31, 2012 and is amortized down to $27,044 at year end with amortization expense of $24,909.




NOTE 7.

STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY


On August 27, 2012, the Board of Directors proposed and the stockholders approved amending the articles of incorporation to increase the authorized shares from 500,000,000 shares of common stock to 5,000,000,000 shares of common stock.  The amendment also allowed for one class of blank check preferred stock to be issued at the discretion of the board of Directors.

SEGMENT REPORTING


In the third quarter of 2012, we acquired one operating segment, Endeavour (Shanghai) Business Services Co., Ltd., in Shanghai, China, which we intend to develop as a provider of business services to Chinese individuals who have investments in U.S. companies.  There was no revenue during the quarter ending December 31, 2012, due primarily to the change in ownership.  The following are the expenses attributed to Endeavour (Shanghai) for the year ended December 31, 2012. At this time, the operating segment does not meet any of the quantitative thresholds which would require separate reporting of its operations, however, management believes that the following information about the segment would be useful to readers of the financial statements.
