Overview
US Export, Inc. (the “Company”) intends to develop approximately 100 industrial incubators throughout the United States. Dr.Wenyi Yu, the CEO of US Export, Inc. has designed a Regional Economic Engine (“REE” or “Engine”) model with the hope of incorporating features of Silicon Valley, Amazon, NASDAQ, Pixar Animation Studios and Goldman Sachs at each of these industrial incubators.
The Company’s vision is to “install” 100 REEs in the U.S. by 2020, with the goal of stimulating localized economic growth, employment and exports. The Company’s first “Engine,” the Buffalo New Technology and Art Industries Campus, is located at 160 Kerns Avenue, Buffalo, New York, 14211. The campus has a lot size of 299,600 square feet, with an 84,000 square foot building.
An REE is an industrial incubator that serves as a space for all of the following;
• | communication between local university students and teachers; |
• | work space for community engineers, artists, professors, entrepreneurs; |
• | rentable studios, factories and services; |
• | a location to host and organize cultural, technical and sporting events; |
• | exhibit local products, shows and services; |
Each incubator will produce two revenue streams: (i) through the Company’s self-operating business; and (ii) through rent for open space available to multiple tenants.
The Self-Operating Business
The Company will establish a “5 in 1” self-operating businesses in each of the incubators. Each self-operating business contains five parts: (i) online intellectual property and arts products exchange platform; (ii) online family products and used goods exchange platform; (iii) online business equity exchange platform; (iv) robot film production and circulation; and (v) minority equity investment. This Company believes that the business model will be a new economic growth point for the community.
Company History
US Export, Inc. was incorporated as a New York corporation on April 5, 2012. On February 23, 2015, the Department of State of New York approved an amendment to the Company’s articles of incorporation to increase the Company’s authorized stock to 30,000,000 shares.
On November 18, 2013, the Company purchased the real estate located at 160 Kerns Avenue, Buffalo, NY 14211 (the “Buffalo Campus”). The City of Buffalo Planning Board approved the Buffalo Campus as a multiple us facility, including us as an: office, business school, live performance theater, social dance hall and fitness center, supermarket, restaurant and dormitory. On September 18, 2014, the company incorporated Buffalo New Technology and Art Industries Campus, Inc in the State of New York.
One June 23, 2015, Intellectual Property Exchange, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Nevada. The purpose of this platform is online transaction of patents, trademarks; copyrights in painting and sculpture, music, film, television, radio, animation, game, drama, novel, software programming, design, photography, theme park; newspapers, periodicals and online publications, architecture and landscaping design, et al, which covers creative technology and arts in all aspects.

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company
We qualify as an emerging growth company as that term is used in the JOBS Act. An emerging growth company may take advantage of specified reduced reporting and other burdens that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. These provisions include:
• | A requirement to have only two years of audited financial statements and only two years of related MD&A; |
• | Exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of the emerging growth company’s internal control over financial reporting under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002; |
• | Reduced disclosure about the emerging growth company’s executive compensation arrangements; and |
• | No non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements. |
We have already taken advantage of these reduced reporting burdens in this prospectus, which are also available to us as a smaller reporting company as defined under Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) for complying with new or revised accounting standards. We have elected to use the extended transition period provided above and therefore our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.
We could remain an emerging growth company for up to five years, or until the earliest of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our annual gross revenues exceed $1 billion, (ii) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter, or (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three year period.
For more details regarding this exemption, see “Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Policies.”

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The information contained in this prospectus, including in the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus, includes some statements that are not purely historical and that are “forward-looking statements.” Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our Company and management’s expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future, including our financial condition, results of operations, and the expected impact of the offering on the parties’ individual and combined financial performance. In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipates,” “believes,” “continue,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “plans,” “possible,” “potential,” “predicts,” “projects,” “seeks,” “should,” “will,” “would” and similar expressions, or the negatives of such terms, may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.
The forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus are based on current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and the potential effects on the parties and the transaction. There can be no assurance that future developments actually affecting us will be those anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond the parties’ control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.
Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below together with the information contained in this prospectus, including our financial statements and the related notes appearing at the end of this prospectus. If any of the following occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations and future growth prospects could be materially adversely affected. In these circumstances, the price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all of your investment.
Risks Related to Our Company
Because of our limited history and the potential for competition, an investment in our Company is inherently risky.
Because we are a company with a limited history, our operations are subject to numerous risks similar to those of a start-up company. The achievements of REE are affected by multiple factors, for example: The REE location; the Company’s administration proficiency, service quality, investment ability and marketing; local resource, economic demography, community relation, social security; political events, culture adaptability; technique competition; transaction costs, economic cycle; and natural disasters. The output and success of any individual REE is hard to predict. We cannot assure you that we will have the necessary resources to grow up sustainably.
To fully develop our business plan we will need additional financing.
We will have to obtain additional financing in order to conduct our business in a manner consistent with our proposed operations. There is no guaranty that additional funds will be available when, and if, needed. If we are unable to obtain financing, or if its terms are too costly, we may be forced to curtail expansion of operations until such time as alternative financing may be arranged, which could have a materially adverse impact on our operations and our shareholders' investment.
Our ultimate success will be dependent upon management.
Our success is dependent upon the skill and decision making ability of our directors and executive officers, who are Dr. Wenyi Yu, Karen Zhao and Antoine Thompson. The loss of any or all of these individuals could have a material adverse impact on our operations. We have not obtained key man life insurance on the lives of any of these individuals. Our success depends in large part on our ability to attract and retain key people and consultants. If we are not able to retain and recruit qualified personnel, which we require now and will require in the future to conduct our ongoing operations, our business and our ability to successfully implement our business plan could be adversely affected.
We are subject to risks associated with investments in real estate.
The value of our proposed properties and our projected income therefrom may decline due to developments that adversely affect real estate generally and those that are specific to our proposed properties. General factors that may adversely affect our potential real estate holdings include:
• | increases in interest rates; |
• | a decline in prevailing rental rates for the properties we intend to own and lease; |
• | a general tightening of the availability of credit and project financing facilities; |
• | an increase in competition for customers or a decrease in demand by customers for the commercial properties we plan to develop and offer for sale; |
• | a decline in prevailing sales prices for the properties we intend to develop and offer for sale; |
• | declines in consumer spending during an economic recession or recovery from an economic recession that adversely affect our revenue; and |
Additional factors may adversely affect the value of our proposed properties and our projected income therefrom, including:
• | adverse changes in the perceptions of prospective purchasers or users of the attractiveness of the properties proposed to be developed by us; |
• | opposition from local community or political groups with respect to development or construction at a particular site; |
• | a change in existing comprehensive zoning plans or zoning or environmental or business licensing regulations that impose additional restrictions on use or requirements with respect to the properties proposed to be developed by us; |
• | our inability to provide adequate management and maintenance or to obtain adequate insurance for the properties proposed to be developed by us; |
• | an increase in operating costs; |
• | new development of a competitor's property in close proximity; |
• | earthquakes, floods or underinsured or uninsured natural disasters; and |
• | terrorism, political instability or civil unrest. |
The occurrence or existence of one or more of the events or circumstances described above could result in significant delays or unexpected expenses. If any of these events occur or circumstances come into existence, we may not achieve our projected returns and we could lose some or all of our investments.
We are subject to risks associated with real estate development.
Our projects are subject to significant risks relating to our ability to complete them on time and within budget. Factors that may result in the development projects we may undertake exceeding budget or being prevented from completion include:
• | an inability to obtain or delays in obtaining zoning, environmental, occupancy or other required governmental permits, approvals and authorizations; |
• | an inability to secure sufficient financing on favorable terms, including an inability to obtain or refinance construction loans; an inability to solve environmental problems both inside and outside of the REE campus |
• | a general tightening of the availability of credit and project financing facilities; |
• | construction delays or cost overruns, either of which may increase project development costs; and |
• | an increase in commodity costs. |
If any of the forgoing occurs or exists, we may not achieve our projected returns and we could lose some or all of our investments.
Our results of operations and financial condition will be greatly affected by the performance of the real estate industry.
Our real estate activities are, and will continue to be, subject to numerous factors beyond our control, including local real estate market conditions in areas where our potential customers reside, substantial existing and potential competition, general economic conditions, fluctuations in interest rates and mortgage availability and changes in demographic conditions. Real estate markets have historically been subject to strong periodic cycles driven by numerous factors beyond the control of market participants.
Real estate investments often cannot easily be converted into cash and market values may be adversely affected by economic or political circumstances, market fundamentals, competition or demographic conditions. Because of the effect these factors may have on real estate values and because of the long length of the project development cycle, the future sales prices for our individual proposed properties or the future level of our sales revenue from the operation, sales and/or leasing of our various proposed properties, is impossible to predict with certainty and difficult to predict with accuracy.
Our real estate operations will also be dependent upon the availability and cost of mortgage financing for our potential customers to the extent they finance the purchase of the residences or commercial properties we intend to develop and offer for sale.
Our operations are subject to natural risks.
Our performance may be adversely affected by weather conditions that delay development or damage property.
Risk Factors Related to Self-Operating Businesses
A REE faces a variety of risks; some risks can cause physical damage to the incubator and affect its operation and survival even with insurance and defensive measures in place.
We are subject to risks associated with investments in online intellectual property and art products exchange
The online intellectual property and art products exchange faces the same problems as in E-commerce in general. As a new market it needs time to grow up. We cannot assure you that we can solve all problems on time and with quality in hardware, software, information and finance security, IR protection, marketing, logistic, after service, public relation and business administration. The Company also faces the risk of lawsuits stemming from copyright issues.
We are subject to risks associated with investments in online family products and resource exchange
The online family products and resource exchange faces the same problems as in E-commerce in general. This market needs much investment to do promotion. A successful series of events is necessary for its sustainable development. We cannot assure you that we can solve all the problem on time and with quality in hardware, software, information and finance security, marketing, logistic, after service, public relation and business administration, et al. It is hard to satisfy all family clients even though we make best efforts. The Company has no ability to clarify illegal transaction even though it keeps close relation with government security departments and works with professional security services.
We are subject to risks associated with investments in robot film production
The are many risk associated with robot film production, including: malfunction of distribution; wrong market target; lower product quality; shortage of good literature scripts; technique problem; bad financial management; cast availability; other exceptional risks. Although we intend to make every effort to minimize these risks, there can be no assurance that unforeseeable risks will not have an adverse effect on our business.
Risk Factors Related to Our Common Stock
There is presently no trading market for our common stock and no assurance can be given that an active and liquid trading market will develop in the future. Accordingly, you may be unable to liquidate your shares quickly.
There is currently no market for our Common Stock and we cannot assure you that a market will develop. We intend to apply to have our shares of Common Stock quoted on the OTCQB marketplace of OTC Link. Before our shares of Common Stock can be quoted on the OTCQB marketplace of OTC Link, FINRA needs to approve a Form 211 Application filed a by a market maker. There can be no assurance that: (a) a market maker will agree to file the Form 211 Application; (b) the FINRA will approve the Form 211 Application; or (c) that our application to be quoted on the OTCQB marketplace of OTC Link will be approved by OTC Markets Group Inc. Even if we are able to have our Common Stock become quoted in the over-the-counter market, an active trading market for our Common Stock may not develop in the future due to a number of other factors, including the fact that we are a small company that is relatively unknown to stock analysts, stock brokers, institutional investors and others in the investment community that generate or influence sales volume, and that even if we came to the attention of such persons, they tend to be risk-averse and would be reluctant to follow an unproven company such as ours or purchase or recommend the purchase of our shares until such time as we became more seasoned and viable. Once our Common Stock is listed or quoted on an active trading market, there may be periods of several days or more when trading activity in our shares is minimal or non-existent, as compared to a seasoned issuer which has a large and steady volume of trading activity that will generally support continuous sales. We cannot give you any assurance that an active public trading market for our shares of Common Stock will develop or be sustained. You may not be able to liquidate your shares quickly or at the market price if trading in our Common Stock is not active.
The offering price of the common stock was determined based on the price of the shares that were sold to some of our shareholders in a private placement, and therefore should not be used as an indicator of the future market price of the securities. Therefore, the offering price bears no relationship to our actual value, and may make our shares difficult to sell.
Since our shares are not listed or quoted on any exchange or quotation system, the offering price of $0.25 per share for the shares of Common Stock was determined based on the price of the shares that were sold to some of our shareholders in a private placement. The facts considered in determining the offering price were our financial condition and prospects, our limited operating history and the general condition of the securities market. The offering price bears no relationship to the book value, assets or earnings of our company or any other recognized criteria of value. The offering price should not be regarded as an indicator of the future market price of the securities.
Future issuance of our common stock could dilute the interests of existing shareholders.
If we raise additional capital subsequent to this offering through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of our company held by existing shareholders will be reduced and those shareholders may experience significant dilution. In addition, we may also have to issue securities that may have rights, preferences and privileges senior to our Common Stock. In the event we seek to raise additional capital through the issuance of debt or its equivalents, this will result in increased interest expense.
Our common stock is considered a penny stock, which may be subject to restrictions on marketability, so you may not be able to sell your shares.
We may be subject now and in the future to the SEC’s “penny stock” rules if our shares of Common Stock sell below $5.00 per share. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00. The penny stock rules require broker-dealers to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer must also provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to completing the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation.
In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction, the broker dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. The penny stock rules are burdensome and may reduce purchases of any offerings and reduce the trading activity for shares of our Common Stock. As long as our shares of Common Stock are subject to the penny stock rules, the holders of such shares of Common Stock may find it more difficult to sell their securities.
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of Common Stock by the selling shareholders. All of the net proceeds from the sale of our Common Stock will go to the selling shareholders as described below in the sections entitled “Selling Security Holders” and “Plan of Distribution”. We have agreed to bear the expenses relating to the registration of the Common Stock for the selling shareholders.
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
Since our Common Stock is not listed or quoted on any exchange or quotation system, the offering price of the shares of Common Stock was determined by the price of the Common Stock that was sold to some of our shareholders pursuant in a private placement.
The offering price of the shares of our Common Stock does not necessarily bear any relationship to our book value, assets, past operating results, financial condition or any other established criteria of value. The facts considered in determining the offering price were our financial condition and prospects, our limited operating history and the general condition of the securities market.
There is currently no market for our Common Stock and we cannot assure you that a market will develop. We intend to apply to have our shares of Common Stock quoted on the OTCQB marketplace of OTC Link. Before our shares of Common Stock can be quoted on the OTCQB marketplace of OTC Link, FINRA needs to approve a Form 211 Application filed a by a market maker. There can be no assurance that: (a) a market maker will agree to file the Form 211 Application; (b) the FINRA will approve the Form 211 Application; or (c) that our application to be quoted on the OTCQB marketplace of OTC Link will be approved by OTC Markets Group Inc.
The shares Common Stock to be sold by the selling shareholders as provided in the “Selling Security Holders” section are shares of Common Stock that are currently issued. Accordingly, there will be no dilution to our existing shareholders.
The shares of Common Stock being offered for resale by the selling shareholders consist of 4,338,500 shares of the Company’s common stock.
The following table sets forth the names of the selling shareholders, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by each of the selling shareholders as of August 14, 2015 and the number of shares of Common Stock being offered by the selling shareholders. The shares being offered hereby are being registered to permit public secondary trading, and the selling shareholders may offer all or part of the shares for resale from time to time. However, the selling shareholders are under no obligation to sell all or any portion of such shares nor are the selling shareholders obligated to sell any shares immediately upon effectiveness of this prospectus. All information with respect to share ownership has been furnished by the selling shareholders.

The selling shareholders may sell some or all of their shares at a fixed price of $1.00 per share until our shares are quoted in the OTCQB marketplace of OTC Link and thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices or in transactions that are not in the public market.
Once a market has developed for our Common Stock, the shares may be sold or distributed from time to time by the selling shareholders, who may be deemed to be underwriters, directly to one or more purchasers or through brokers or dealers who act solely as agents, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices, at negotiated prices or at fixed prices, which may be changed. The distribution of the shares may be effected in one or more of the following methods:
• | ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers; |
• | block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; |
• | purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; |
• | an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; |
• | privately negotiated transactions; |
• | settlement of short sales entered into after the effective date of the Registration Statement of which this prospectus is a part; |
• | in transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the selling shareholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share; |
• | through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise; |
• | a combination of any such methods of sale; or |
• | any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. |
The selling shareholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.
In addition, the selling shareholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers who may engage in short sales, if short sales were permitted, of shares in the course of hedging the positions they assume with the selling shareholders. The selling shareholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers that require the delivery by such broker-dealers of the shares, which shares may be resold thereafter pursuant to this prospectus. None of the selling shareholders are broker-dealers or affiliates of broker dealers. We will advise the selling shareholders that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares in the market and to the activities of the selling shareholders and their affiliates. In addition, we will make copies of this prospectus (as it may be supplemented or amended from time to time) available to the selling shareholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act
The selling shareholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
Brokers, dealers, or agents participating in the distribution of the shares may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling shareholders and/or the purchasers of shares for whom such broker-dealers may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal, or both (which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer may be in excess of customary commissions). Neither the selling shareholders nor we can presently estimate the amount of such compensation. We know of no existing arrangements between the selling shareholders and any other stockholder, broker, dealer or agent relating to the sale or distribution of the shares. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares of the selling shareholders pursuant to this prospectus. We have agreed to bear the expenses of the registration of the shares, including legal and accounting fees, and such expenses are estimated to be approximately $10,504.
Notwithstanding anything set forth herein, no FINRA member
will charge commissions that exceed 8% of the total proceeds of the offering.

Overview
US Export, Inc. (the “Company”) intends to develop approximately 100 industrial incubators throughout the United States. Dr.Wenyi Yu, the CEO of US Export, Inc. has designed a Regional Economic Engine (“REE” or “Engine”) model with the hope of incorporating features of Silicon Valley, Amazon, NASDAQ, Pixar Animation Studios and Goldman Sachs at each of these industrial incubators.
The Company’s vision is to “install” 100 REEs in the U.S. by 2020, with the goal of stimulating localized economic growth, employment and exports. The Company’s first “Engine,” the Buffalo New Technology and Art Industries Campus, is located at 160 Kerns Avenue, Buffalo, New York, 14211. The campus has a lot size of 299,600 square feet, with an 84,000 square foot building.
An REE is an industrial incubator that serves as a space for all of the following;
• | communication between local university students and teachers; |
• | work space for community engineers, artists, professors, entrepreneurs; |
• | rentable studios, factories and services; |
• | a location to host and organize cultural, technical and sporting events; |
• | exhibit local products, shows and services; |
Each incubator will produce two revenue streams: (i) through the Company’s self-operating business; and (ii) through rent for open space available to multiple tenants.
The Self-Operating Business
The Company will establish a “5 in 1” self-operating businesses in each of the incubators. Each self-operating business contains five parts: (i) online intellectual property and arts products exchange platform; (ii) online family products and used goods exchange platform; (iii) online business equity exchange platform; (iv) robot film production and circulation; and (v) minority equity investment. This Company believes that the business model will be a new economic growth point for the community.

Competition
Although the Company is not aware of any direct competitors focused on creating Regional Economic Engines, we compete with many other entities engaged in real estate investment activities, many of which have greater resources than we do. Specifically, there are numerous commercial developers, real estate companies, real estate investment trusts and U.S. institutional and foreign investors that operate in the markets in which we may operate, that will compete with us in acquiring residential, commercial, and other properties that will be seeking investments and tenants for these properties.
Government Regulation
The Company is not aware of any government regulations directly related to Regional Economic Engines (REEs).
Other Regulations
We are also subject to numerous federal, state and local laws relating to such matters as safe working conditions, manufacturing practices, environmental protection, fire hazard control, and disposal of hazardous or potentially hazardous substances. We may incur significant costs to comply with such laws and regulations now or in the future.
Employees
As of August 14, 2015, we currently have two (2) full time employees and four (4) part-time employees..

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
US Export, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of US Export, Inc. as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
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 audit 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 include 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. Our audits include examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also include 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 US Export, Inc. as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the result of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has had no revenues and earnings since inception. These conditions, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 3, which includes achieving profitable operations and raising additional funds through financing. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share.
The basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss adjusted on an "as if converted" basis, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus potential dilutive securities. For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, there were no potentially dilutive securities outstanding.
Cash
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, there were no cash equivalents.
Property, Plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment is stated at the historical cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets for both financial and income tax reporting purposes as follows:
Buildings | 39 years |
Expenditures for renewals and betterments are capitalized while repairs and maintenance costs are normally charged to the statements of operation in the year in which they are incurred. In situations where it can be clearly demonstrated that the expenditure has resulted in an increase in the future economic benefits expected to be obtained from the use of the asset, the expenditure is capitalized as an additional cost of the asset.
Upon sale or disposal of an asset, the historical cost and related accumulated depreciation or amortization of such asset were removed from their respective accounts and any gain or loss is recorded in the statements of income.
The Company reviews the carrying value of property, plant, and equipment for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash
flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. In cases where undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized equal to an amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of assets. The factors considered by management in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends and prospects, the manner in which the property is used, and the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition and other economic factors. Based on this assessment, no impairment expenses for property, plant, and equipment was recorded in operating expenses during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.
Long lived assets impairment
We assess the recoverability of the carrying value of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. We have the option of performing a qualitative assessment when assessing recoverability. We may also evaluate the recoverability of such assets based upon estimates of the undiscounted cash flows from such assets. If the sum of the expected future undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, a loss would be recognized for the difference between the fair value and the carrying amount. We did not recur any impairment charges during the periods presented.
Notes Payable
The Company records the face amounts of issued promissory notes as notes payable. The amount due within one year of the balance sheet will be booked as short term liabilities and the amount due after one year of the balance date will be booked as long term liabilities.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the Financial Accounting Standards Board of Financial Accounting Standard ASC 740, "Accounting for Income Taxes." Under ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. There was no current or deferred income tax expense or benefits for the periods ending December 31, 2014 and 2013.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-10, Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements. ASU 2014-10 eliminates the distinction of a development stage entity and certain related disclosure requirements, including the elimination of inception-to-date information on the statements of operations, cash flows and stockholders’ equity. The amendments in ASU 2014-10 will effective prospectively for annual reporting periods begin after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those annual periods. However, early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2014-10 during the year ended December 31, 2014, thereby no longer presenting or disclosing any information required by Topic 915.
In August 2014, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15 “Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (“ASU 2014-15”).
In connection with preparing financial statements for each annual and interim reporting period, an entity’s management should evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or within one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued when applicable). Management’s evaluation should be based on relevant conditions and events that are known and reasonably knowable at the date that the financial statements are issued (or at the date that the financial statements are available to be issued when applicable). Substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern exists when relevant conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, indicate that it is probable that the entity will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). The term probable is used consistently with its use in Topic 450, Contingencies.
When management identifies conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, management should consider whether its plans that are intended to mitigate those relevant conditions or events will alleviate the substantial doubt. The mitigating effect of management’s plans should be considered only to the extent that (1) it is probable that the plans will be effectively implemented and, if so, (2) it is probable that the plans will mitigate the conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern.
If conditions or events raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, but the substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans, the entity should disclose information that enables users of the financial statements to understand all of the following (or refer to similar information disclosed elsewhere in the footnotes):
a. | Principal conditions or events that raised substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern (before consideration of management’s plans) |
b. | Management’s evaluation of the significance of those conditions or events in relation to the entity’s ability to meet its obligations |
c. | Management’s plans that alleviated substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. |
If conditions or events raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, and substantial doubt is not alleviated after consideration of management’s plans, an entity should include a statement in the footnotes indicating that there is substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). Additionally, the entity should disclose information that enables users of the financial statements to understand all of the following:
a. | Principal conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern |
b. | Management’s evaluation of the significance of those conditions or events in relation to the entity’s ability to meet its obligations |
c. | Management’s plans that are intended to mitigate the conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. |
The amendments in this Update are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted.
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, when adopted, will have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.
NOTE 3. GOING CONCERN
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to meet its obligations and continue its operations for the next fiscal year. Realization value may be substantially different from carrying values as shown and these financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. As of December 31, 2014, the Company has not generated revenues and has accumulated losses of $837,565. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, and the attainment of profitable operations. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Notes To The Unaudited Financial Statements
NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATIONAND NATURE OF BUSINESS
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. US Export, Inc. (“US Export” or the “Company” or “we” or “us”) was incorporated in the state of New York on April 5, 2012 for the purpose of developing industrial incubator and conducting international trade business. The Company is authorized to issue 100 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.01. On February 23, 2015, the Company’s authorized common stock increased from 100 to 30,000,000 shares without par value.
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share.
The basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss adjusted on an "as if converted" basis, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus potential dilutive securities. For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, there were no potentially dilutive securities outstanding.
Cash
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, there were no cash equivalents.
Investment
Short-term investments are readily marketable securities (stocks and bonds) that are intended to be sold within the time period of current assets.
Investment amounted to $17,244 and $0 as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The Company invested $20,000 and had unrealized loss of $2,756 as of March 31, 2015. The unrealized loss was recorded as other expense.
Property, Plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment is stated at the historical cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets for both financial and income tax reporting purposes as follows:
Buildings | 39 years |
Expenditures for renewals and betterments are capitalized while repairs and maintenance costs are normally charged to the statement of operations in the year in which they are incurred. In situations where it can be clearly demonstrated that the expenditure has resulted in an increase in the future economic benefits expected to be obtained from the use of the asset, the expenditure is capitalized as an additional cost of the asset.
Upon sale or disposal of an asset, the historical cost and related accumulated depreciation or amortization of such asset were removed from their respective accounts and any gain or loss is recorded in the statements of income.
The Company reviews the carrying value of property, plant, and equipment for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. In cases where undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized equal to an amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of assets. The factors considered by management in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends and prospects, the manner in which the property is used, and the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition and other economic factors. Based on this assessment, no impairment expenses for property, plant, and equipment was recorded in operating expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.
Notes Payable
The Company records the face amounts of issued promissory notes as notes payable. The amount due within one year of the balance sheet will be booked as short term liabilities and the amount due after one year of the balance date will be booked as long term liabilities.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the Financial Accounting Standards Board of Financial Accounting Standard ASC 740, "Accounting for Income Taxes." Under ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. There was no current or deferred income tax expense or benefits for the periods ending March 31, 2015 and 2014.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-10, Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements. ASU 2014-10 eliminates the distinction of a development stage entity and certain related disclosure requirements, including the elimination of inception-to-date information on the statements of operations, cash flows and stockholders’ equity. The amendments in ASU 2014-10 will effective prospectively for annual reporting periods begin after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those annual periods. However, early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2014-10 during the three months ended March 31, 2015, thereby no longer presenting or disclosing any information required by Topic 915.
In August 2014, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15 “Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (“ASU 2014-15”).
In connection with preparing financial statements for each annual and interim reporting period, an entity’s management should evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or within one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued when applicable). Management’s evaluation should be based on relevant conditions and events that are known and reasonably knowable at the date that the financial statements are issued (or at the date that the financial statements are available to be issued when applicable). Substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern exists when relevant conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, indicate that it is probable that the entity will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). The term probable is used consistently with its use in Topic 450, Contingencies.
When management identifies conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, management should consider whether its plans that are intended to mitigate those relevant conditions or events will alleviate the substantial doubt. The mitigating effect of management’s plans should be considered only to the extent that (1) it is probable that the plans will be effectively implemented and, if so, (2) it is probable that the plans will mitigate the conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern.
If conditions or events raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, but the substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans, the entity should disclose information that enables users of the financial statements to understand all of the following (or refer to similar information disclosed elsewhere in the footnotes):
a. | Principal conditions or events that raised substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern (before consideration of management’s plans) |
b. | Management’s evaluation of the significance of those conditions or events in relation to the entity’s ability to meet its obligations |
c. | Management’s plans that alleviated substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. |
If conditions or events raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, and substantial doubt is not alleviated after consideration of management’s plans, an entity should include a statement in the footnotes indicating that there is substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). Additionally, the entity should disclose information that enables users of the financial statements to understand all of the following:
a. | Principal conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern |
b. | Management’s evaluation of the significance of those conditions or events in relation to the entity’s ability to meet its obligations |
c. | Management’s plans that are intended to mitigate the conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. |
The amendments in this Update are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted.
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, when adopted, will have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.
NOTE 3. GOING CONCERN
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to meet its obligations and continue its operations for the next fiscal year. Realization value may be substantially different from carrying values as shown and these financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. As of March 31, 2015, the Company has not generated revenues and has accumulated losses of $955,735. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, and the attainment of profitable operations. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 4. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
On August 6, 2012, the Company acquired a building located at 25 Ford ham Drive Buffalo, New York 14216 for $220,000. On August 6, 2012, the Company entered into a note agreement (note 5) with the seller of the property for the acquisition. The principle amount of the loan was $200,000, the loan bears a 5.0% interest rate and is matured in five years.
On November 18, 2013, the Company acquired a property located at 160 Kerns Avenue Buffalo, New York 14211 by cash for $165,000. On January 30, 2014, the Company acquired a property located at 70 Floss Avenue Buffalo, New York 14211 by cash for $33,000.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of the results of operations and financial condition for the quarters ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 and the fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the notes to those consolidated financial statements that are included elsewhere in this Registration Statement. Our discussion includes forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors. See “Forward-Looking Statements.”
Overview
US Export, Inc. (the “Company”) intends to develop approximately 100 industrial incubators throughout the United States. Dr.Wenyi Yu, the CEO of US Export, Inc. has designed a Regional Economic Engine (“REE” or “Engine”) model with the hope of incorporating features of Silicon Valley, Amazon, NASDAQ, Pixar Animation Studios and Goldman Sachs at each of these industrial incubators.
The Company’s vision is to “install” 100 REEs in the U.S. by 2020, with the goal of stimulating localized economic growth, employment and exports. The Company’s first “Engine,” the Buffalo New Technology and Art Industries Campus, is located at 160 Kerns Avenue, Buffalo, New York, 14211. The campus has a lot size of 299,600 square feet, with an 84,000 square foot building.
An REE is an industrial incubator that serves as a space for all of the following;
• | communication between local university students and teachers; |
• | work space for community engineers, artists, professors, entrepreneurs; |
• | rentable studios, factories and services; |
• | a location to host and organize cultural, technical and sporting events; |
• | exhibit local products, shows and services; |
Each incubator will produce two revenue streams: (i) through the Company’s self-operating business; and (ii) through rent for open space available to multiple tenants.
The Self-Operating Business
The Company will establish a “5 in 1” self-operating businesses in each of the incubators. Each self-operating business contains five parts: (i) online intellectual property and arts products exchange platform; (ii) online family products and used goods exchange platform; (iii) online business equity exchange platform; (iv) robot film production and circulation; and (v) minority equity investment. This Company believes that the business model will be a new economic growth point for the community.
Critical Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share.
The basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss adjusted on an "as if converted" basis, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus potential dilutive securities. For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, there were no potentially dilutive securities outstanding.
Cash
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, there were no cash equivalents.
Property, Plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment is stated at the historical cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets for both financial and income tax reporting purposes as follows:
Buildings | 39 years |
Expenditures for renewals and betterments are capitalized while repairs and maintenance costs are normally charged to the statements of operation in the year in which they are incurred. In situations where it can be clearly demonstrated that the expenditure has resulted in an increase in the future economic benefits expected to be obtained from the use of the asset, the expenditure is capitalized as an additional cost of the asset.
Upon sale or disposal of an asset, the historical cost and related accumulated depreciation or amortization of such asset were removed from their respective accounts and any gain or loss is recorded in the statements of income.
The Company reviews the carrying value of property, plant, and equipment for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. In cases where undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized equal to an amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of assets. The factors considered by management in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends and prospects, the manner in which the property is used, and the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition and other economic factors. Based on this assessment, no impairment expenses for property, plant, and equipment was recorded in operating expenses during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.
Long lived assets impairment
We assess the recoverability of the carrying value of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. We have the option of performing a qualitative assessment when assessing recoverability. We may also evaluate the recoverability of such assets based upon estimates of the undiscounted cash flows from such assets. If the sum of the expected future undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, a loss would be recognized for the difference between the fair value and the carrying amount. We did not recur any impairment charges during the periods presented.
Notes Payable
The Company records the face amounts of issued promissory notes as notes payable. The amount due within one year of the balance sheet will be booked as short term liabilities and the amount due after one year of the balance date will be booked as long term liabilities.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the Financial Accounting Standards Board of Financial Accounting Standard ASC 740, "Accounting for Income Taxes." Under ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. There was no current or deferred income tax expense or benefits for the periods ending December 31, 2014 and 2013.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-10, Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements. ASU 2014-10 eliminates the distinction of a development stage entity and certain related disclosure requirements, including the elimination of inception-to-date information on the statements of operations, cash flows and stockholders’ equity. The amendments in ASU 2014-10 will effective prospectively for annual reporting periods begin after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those annual periods. However, early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2014-10 during the three months ended March 31, 2015, thereby no longer presenting or disclosing any information required by Topic 915.
In August 2014, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15 “Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (“ASU 2014-15”).
In connection with preparing financial statements for each annual and interim reporting period, an entity’s management should evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or within one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued when applicable). Management’s evaluation should be based on relevant conditions and events that are known and reasonably knowable at the date that the financial statements are issued (or at the date that the financial statements are available to be issued when applicable). Substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern exists when relevant conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, indicate that it is probable that the entity will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). The term probable is used consistently with its use in Topic 450, Contingencies.
When management identifies conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, management should consider whether its plans that are intended to mitigate those relevant conditions or events will alleviate the substantial doubt. The mitigating effect of management’s plans should be considered only to the extent that (1) it is probable that the plans will be effectively implemented and, if so, (2) it is probable that the plans will mitigate the conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern.
If conditions or events raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, but the substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans, the entity should disclose information that enables users of the financial statements to understand all of the following (or refer to similar information disclosed elsewhere in the footnotes):
a. | Principal conditions or events that raised substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern (before consideration of management’s plans) |
b. | Management’s evaluation of the significance of those conditions or events in relation to the entity’s ability to meet its obligations |
c. | Management’s plans that alleviated substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. |
If conditions or events raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, and substantial doubt is not alleviated after consideration of management’s plans, an entity should include a statement in the footnotes indicating that there is substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). Additionally, the entity should disclose information that enables users of the financial statements to understand all of the following:
a. | Principal conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern |
b. | Management’s evaluation of the significance of those conditions or events in relation to the entity’s ability to meet its obligations |
c. | Management’s plans that are intended to mitigate the conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. |
The amendments in this Update are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted.
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, when adopted, will have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

Going Concern Qualification
We have incurred significant losses and cash used in operations, and such losses and use of cash are expected to continue. Our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm has included a "Going Concern Qualification" in their report for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. As of December 31, 2014, the Company had not generated revenues and has accumulated losses of $837,565. In addition, we have negative working capital. The foregoing raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans include seeking additional capital or debt financing. There is no guarantee that additional capital or debt financing will be available when and to the extent required, or that if available, it will be on terms acceptable to us. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The "Going Concern Qualification" might make it substantially more difficult to raise capital.

Our management keeps our Board apprised of material risks and provides our directors access to all information necessary for them to understand and evaluate how these risks interrelate, how they affect US Export, and how management addresses those risks. Dr. Yu, as our Chief Executive Officer works closely together with the Board once material risks are identified on how to best address such risk. If the identified risk poses an actual or potential conflict with management, our independent directors may conduct the assessment.

ii. | To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement. |
iii. | To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement; |

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
