PROSPECTUS

 

Duo World Inc.

 

8,567,467 Shares of Common Stock

 

Duo World, Inc. is registering an aggregate of 8,567,467 shares of our common stock to be sold, from time to time, by one or more of the selling shareholders, none of whom is an officer or director of Duo World, Inc. The selling shareholders may only offer and sell, from time to time, common stock using this prospectus in transactions at a fixed offering price of $1.00 per share until a trading market develops in our common stock, at which time the selling shareholders may sell shares at prevailing market prices, which may vary, or they may sell shares at privately negotiated prices. The proceeds from the sale of the selling shareholders’ shares will go directly to the selling shareholders and will not be available to us.

 

The selling shareholders and any broker/dealer executing sell orders on behalf of the selling shareholders are “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

Currently, no public market exists for our common stock. We will seek to have a market maker publish quotations for our common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”), which is maintained by the Financial Institutions National Regulatory Authority. However, we have no agreement or understanding with any potential market maker to do so. We cannot assure you that a public market for our common stock will develop. Ownership of our common stock is likely to be an illiquid investment.

 

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. We urge you to read the “Risk Factors” beginning on page 4.

 

Brokers or dealers effecting transactions in these shares should confirm that the shares are registered under the applicable state law or that an exemption from registration is available.

 

We are an “emerging growth company” as that term is defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (“JOBS Act”) and, as such, may elect to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements for future filings. Please refer to our discussions under “Prospectus Summary” on page 1 and “Risk Factors” on page 4.

 

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

 

You should rely only on the information contained in this prospectus. We have not authorized anyone to provide you with different information. If anyone provides you with different or inconsistent information, you should not rely on it. We are not making an offer to sell securities in any jurisdiction where an offer or sale is not permitted. You should assume that the information appearing in this prospectus is accurate as of the date on the front cover of this prospectus only. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since that date.

THE COMPANY

 

OVERVIEW

 

Duo World, Inc. (we, the Company or Duo World) is an information technology and software solutions company, focused on bringing value to its clients through every customer interaction. Duo World’s business model allows us to deliver consistent, quality service, at a scale and in the geographies that meet our clients’ business needs. We leverage our breadth and depth of capabilities to help companies create quality customer experiences across multiple channels, while increasing revenue and reducing their cost to serve their customers.

 

Duo World was formed as a Nevada corporation in 2014 for the purpose of acquiring (i) Duo Software (Pvt.) Limited, a Sri Lankan company, from Mr. Muhunthan Canagasooryam, Duo World’s President and founder, in exchange for 28,000,000 shares of our Common Stock and 5,000,000 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock; and (ii) Duo Software (Pte.) Limited, a Singaporean company, from Ms. Koshala Nishaharan, in exchange for 2,000,000 shares of our Common Stock. The acquisition of Duo Software (Pte.) Limited also included that company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Duo Software India (Private) Limited, an Indian company. These acquisitions were accomplished as of December 3, 2014.

 

Duo World maintains an internet website at www.duoworld.com. Information about the Company is available on the website, free of charge. Once we become a publicly held company and are subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), the Company will have available on our website our annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K, which will be posted or linked on our website as soon as reasonably practicable after we electronically file such material with, or furnish it to, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Company’s website and the information contained therein are not considered as being incorporated into this prospectus.

 

Duo World has a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to all employees, as well as our Board of Directors and officers. The Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is posted on our website at www.duoworld.com. The Company will post on our website any amendments to, or waivers of, the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.

OUR BUSINESS

 

We are an information technology and software solutions company. As a result of the acquisitions described above, the Company specializes in subscription management and billing solutions (“SMBS”) and customer lifecycle management solutions (“CLCM”). Our products cater to small to large-scale organizations in diverse industries and support subscription management, recurring billing, invoicing, customer life cycle management and contact (call) center operations. Our SMBS business specializes in invoicing customers on a monthly/recurring basis and managing the services of the customer. SMBS is offered in two models, such as cloud based (SaaS) solution and on premises solution. Cloud solution would cater to freelancers to medium size business who would want to manage their customers and their subscription, whereas the on premise model is for large size brick and mortar companies.

 

This product can cater to clients across industries such as local newspaper distributors and car rental companies who have a small subscription base, and also to large telecom operators, who have large subscriber bases. It is a scalable and reliable system with the ability to scale up or down to satisfy our client’s needs.

 

Our management’s experience and our unique mix of agents, analytics and technology allow us to expertly guide our clients as they balance their priorities to grow revenue, improve customer satisfaction and reduce costs. Our agents provide a full range of contact center services delivered via phone, email and chat.

 

Our CLCM solution is designed to manage the entire customer life cycle from the initial contact point with a customer to after sales support. CLCM solutions are offered to large organizations that have dedicated customer support / call centers to maintain the customer relationship such as banks, airlines, telecommunication companies and cable TV operators. We also offer our services to small and medium-sized organizations via local telecom partners as a “platform as a service” and also through business process outsourcing partners on a multi-tenant system. In this model, we work on a revenue sharing model with our customer- partners on a monthly fee basis.

 

Our products are offered as onsite implemented solutions for large-scale organizations and offered via cloud as hosted solutions for small and medium-sized businesses where they can pay as they grow. We have enabled companies from startups to large-scale enterprises in any industry to launch and manage their subscriptions, billing, product portfolio and services offered.

 

On the cloud model, our customers will pay on a monthly basis as it allows them to start with a free trial for a limited period and then pay as they become confident about the system. Also, it allows them to scale up on the fly as they expand their business and pay for what they use.

 

The solutions are implemented onsite and licensing can be on CAPEX or OPEX model. On CAPEX model, the application usage license is sold for a onetime fee and a support fee is charged based on the selected support package. In the event a customer selects the OPEX model, the customer will be paying a monthly fee for the usage of application license and the fee is determined on the scale of the operation.

EMERGING GROWTH COMPANY STATUS

 

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act. For so long as we are an “emerging growth company,” we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies,” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding advisory “say-on-pay” votes on executive compensation and shareholder advisory votes on golden parachute compensation.

 

Under the JOBS Act, we will remain an “emerging growth company” until the earliest of:

 

  * The last day of the fiscal year during which we have total annual gross revenues of $1 billion or more;
     
  * The last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the completion of this offering;
     
  * The date on which we have, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt; and
     
  * The date on which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”). We will qualify as a large accelerated filer as of the first day of the fiscal year after we have (i) more than $700 million in outstanding common equity held by our non-affiliates and (ii) been public for at least 12 months. The value of our outstanding common equity will be measured each year on the last day of our second fiscal quarter.

 

Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that we may elect to utilize the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards and such election is irrevocable if made. As such, we have made the decision to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act. Please refer to our discussion under “Risk Factors” of the effect on our financial statements of such election.

3
 

 

Termination of the Offering The offering will conclude when all of the 8,567,467 shares of Common Stock have been sold or we, in our sole discretion, decide to terminate the registration of the shares. We may decide to terminate the registration if it is no longer necessary due to the operation of the resale provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. We also may terminate the offering for no reason whatsoever.

Use of Proceeds We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the common stock by the selling shareholders.

 

RISK FACTORS

 

This offering and any investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below and all of the information contained in this prospectus before deciding whether or not to purchase our common stock. The risks and uncertainties described below are those that our management currently believes may significantly affect us. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be harmed and investors in our common stock could lose part or all of their investment in our shares. The numbers preceding the risk factors below are for ease of reference only and are not intended as a ranking of the importance or significance of such risk factors.

 

PLEASE CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING RISK FACTORS BEFORE DECIDING TO INVEST IN OUR COMMON STOCK.

 

4
 

 

Risks Related to Our Business

 

1. We do not have an independent audit or compensation committee, the absence of which could lead to conflicts of interest of our officers and directors and work as a detriment to our shareholders.

 

We do not have an independent audit or compensation committee. The absence of an independent audit and compensation committee could lead to conflicts of interest of our officers and directors, which could work as a detriment to our shareholders.

 

2. The markets in which we operate include a large number of service providers and are highly competitive.

 

Many of our competitors are expanding the services they offer in an attempt to gain additional business. In addition, new competitors, alliances among competitors or competitors’ mergers could result in significant market share gain. Some of our competitors may have or develop a lower cost structure, adopt more aggressive pricing policies or provide services that gain greater market acceptance than the services that we offer or develop. Large and well-capitalized competitors may be able to better respond to the need for technological changes faster, price their services more aggressively, compete for skilled professionals, finance acquisitions, fund internal growth and compete for market share. Our clients routinely negotiate for better pricing, and in order to respond to increased competition and pricing pressure, we may be required to lower our pricing structure, which would have an adverse effect on our revenues and profit margin.

 

3. We are an “emerging growth company” and any decision on our part to comply only with certain reduced disclosure requirements applicable to “emerging growth companies” could make our Common Stock less attractive to investors.

 

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act, and, for so long as we continue to be an “emerging growth company,” we may choose to take advantage of exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies,” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirement of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We may remain an “emerging growth company” (i) for up to five full fiscal years following our initial public offering or until 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 of 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 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.

 

5
 

 

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided by Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to opt in to the extended transition period for complying with the revised accounting standards.

 

We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result of our reduced disclosures, there may be less active trading in our common stock (assuming a market ever develops) and our stock price may be more volatile.

 

Under the JOBS Act, “emerging growth companies” can also delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We have elected to avail ourselves of this exemption from new or revised accounting standards and, therefore, will not be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies.”

 

4. Because we have elected to defer compliance with new or revised accounting standards, our financial statement disclosure may not be comparable to similar companies.

 

We have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act. This allows us to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies.

 

5. Our status as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act may make it more difficult to raise capital as and when we need it.

 

Because of the exemptions from various reporting requirements provided to us as an “emerging growth company” and because we will have an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards, we may be less attractive to investors and it may be difficult for us to raise additional capital as and when we need it. Investors may be unable to compare our business with other companies in our industry if they believe that our financial accounting is not as transparent as other companies in our industry. If we are unable to raise additional capital as and when we need it, our financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

 

6. Our ability to achieve significant revenue will depend on our ability to establish effective sales and marketing capabilities.

 

Our success is dependent upon our ability to effectively and profitably market and sell our services. If we fail to establish sufficient marketing and sales forces, our ability to enter new or existing markets will be impaired. Our inability to effectively enter these markets would materially and adversely affect our ability to generate significant revenues.

 

6
 

 

7. If we are unable to hire or retain qualified personnel in certain areas of our business, then our ability to execute our business plans in those areas could be impaired and revenues could decrease.

 

We employ approximately 125 employees worldwide. At times, we have experienced difficulties in hiring personnel with the desired levels of training and experience. Additionally, quality service depends on our ability to retain employees and control personnel turnover. Any increase in the employee turnover rate could increase recruiting and training costs and could decrease operating effectiveness and productivity. We may not be able to continue to hire, train and retain a significant number of qualified personnel to adequately staff new client projects or expand existing ones.

 

8. We depend heavily on our management team and the loss of any of our executive officers could significantly weaken our management expertise and ability to run our business.

 

Our business strategy and success is dependent on the skills and knowledge of our management team and consultants. As of the date of this prospectus, Muhunthan Canagasooryam is our President and Chief Executive Officer, Suzannah Jennifer Samuel Perera is our Chief Financial Officer and Riad Ameen is our Legal Director. The loss of services of Muhunthan Canagasooryam, Suzannah Jennifer Samuel Perera or Riad Ameen could weaken significantly our management expertise and our ability to efficiently run our business. We do not maintain key man life insurance policies on any of our officers.

 

9. Because our officers and directors reside outside of the United States, it may be difficult for an investor to enforce any right based on United States Federal Securities Laws or state securities laws against the Company and/or any of our officers or directors, or to enforce a judgment rendered by a court in the United States against the Company or any of our officers or directors.

 

None of our officers or directors is a resident of the United States. Therefore, it may be difficult to effect service of process on any of our officers or directors in the United States, and it may be difficult to enforce any judgment rendered by a court in the United States against the Company or any of our officers or directors. As a result, it may be difficult or impossible for an investor to bring an action against our officers or directors in the event that an investor believes that such investor’s rights have been infringed upon under the securities laws of the United States or under any state securities laws, or otherwise. Even if an investor is successful in bringing an action of this kind, the courts of other countries may rule that the investor is unable to enforce a judgment against the assets of the Company located outside the territorial limits of the United States or the assets of the officers or directors located outside the territorial limits of the United States. As a result, our shareholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests and investments in the Company through actions against our management, directors or officers, compared to shareholders of a corporation doing business and a corporation and its officers and directors maintaining assets in, and residing in, the United States.

 

10. If our clients are not successful, or the trend towards outsourcing does not continue, the amount of business that our clients outsource and the prices that they are willing to pay for such services may diminish and could adversely affect our business.

 

Our revenues depend on the success of our clients. If our clients or their specific programs are not successful, then the amount of business that they outsource may be diminished. There can be no assurance that the level of revenues generated by such clients will meet expectations. A reduction in the amount of business we receive from our clients could result in stranded capacity and costs. In addition, we may face pricing pressure from our clients, which could negatively affect our operating results.

 

7
 

 

Growth of our revenues depends, in large part, on the trend toward outsourcing. Outsourcing involves companies contracting with a third party, such as Duo World, to provide customer management services, customer lifecycle management solutions and subscription management and billing solutions rather than performing such services in-house. There can be no assurance that this trend will continue, as organizations may elect to perform such services in-house. A significant change in this trend could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

 

11. A large portion of our revenue is generated from a limited number of clients, and the loss of significant work from one or more of our clients could adversely affect our business.

 

Our four (4) largest clients collectively represented 79% of our revenues for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016 and our five (5) largest clients represented 77% of our revenues for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015. While we typically have multiple work orders and/or contracts with our largest customers, which would not all terminate at the same time, the loss of one or more of the larger work orders or contracts with one of our largest customers could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition, if the lost revenues were not replaced with profitable revenues from that client or other clients.

 

12. We process, transmit and store personally identifiable information and unauthorized access to, or the unintended release of, this information could result in a claim for damages or loss of business and create unfavorable publicity.

 

We process, transmit and store personally identifiable information, both in our role as a service provider and as an employer. This information may include social security numbers or other foreign tax identification numbers, financial and health information, as well as personal information. As a result, we are subject to certain contractual terms, as well as federal, state and foreign laws and regulations designed to protect personally identifiable information. While we take measures to protect the security and privacy of this information and to prevent unauthorized access, it is possible that our security controls over personal data and other practices we follow may not prevent the improper access to or disclosure of personally identifiable information. If any person, including any of our employees, negligently disregards or intentionally breaches our established controls with respect to such data or otherwise mismanages or misappropriates that data, we could be subject to monetary damages, fines and/or criminal prosecution.

 

13. Interruption of our data centers and contact centers could have a materially adverse effect on our business.

 

In the event that we experience a temporary or permanent interruption at one or more of our data centers or contact centers or to cloud storage where we also store data and codes, through natural disaster, casualty, operating malfunction, cyber-attack, sabotage or other causes, we may be unable to provide the data services we are contractually obligated to deliver. This could result in us being required to pay contractual damages to some clients or to allow some clients to terminate or renegotiate their contracts. Notwithstanding disaster recovery and business continuity plans and precautions instituted to protect our clients and us from events that could interrupt delivery of services (including property and business interruption insurance that we may maintain or procure in the future), there is no guarantee that such interruptions would not result in a prolonged interruption in our ability to provide support services to our clients or that such precautions would adequately compensate us for any losses we may incur as a result of such interruptions.

 

8
 

 

14. Our ability to deliver our services is at risk if the technology and network equipment we rely upon is not maintained or upgraded on a timely basis.

 

Technology is a critical foundation in our service delivery. We utilize and deploy internally developed and third party software solutions across various hardware environments. We operate an extensive internal voice and data network that links our global sites together in a multi-hub model that enables the rerouting of traffic. Also, we rely on multiple public communication channels for connectivity to our clients. Our clients are highly dependent upon the high availability and uncompromised security of our systems. These systems are subject to risk of an extended interruption or outage due to many factors, such as system failures, acts of nature and intentional unauthorized attacks from third parties. Accordingly, maintenance of, and investment in, these foundational components are critical to our success. If the reliability of our technology or network operations falls below required service levels, or a systemic fault affects the organization broadly, we may be obligated to pay performance penalties to our clients, and our business from existing and potential clients may be jeopardized and cause our revenue and cash flow to decrease.

 

15. We may not be able to predict our future tax liabilities. If we become subject to increased levels of taxation or if tax contingencies are resolved adversely, our results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.

 

Due to the international nature of our operations, we are subject to the complex and varying tax laws and rules of several foreign jurisdictions. We may not be able to predict the amount of future tax liabilities to which we may become subject due to some of these complexities if our positions are challenged by local tax authorities. Any increase in the amount of taxation incurred as a result of challenges to our tax filing positions or due to legislative or regulatory changes could result in a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. We are subject to tax audits, including issues related to transfer pricing, in the United States and other jurisdictions. We have material tax-related contingent liabilities that are difficult to predict or quantify. While we believe that our current tax provisions are reasonable and appropriate, we cannot be assured that these items will be settled for the amounts accrued or that additional exposures will not be identified in the future or that additional tax reserves will not be provided for any such exposure.

 

16. Our business performance and growth plans may be negatively affected if we are unable to effectively manage changes in the application and use of our technology.

 

The use of technology in our industry has and will continue to rapidly increase. Our future success depends, in part, upon our ability to develop and implement technology solutions that anticipate and keep pace with continuing changes in technology, industry standards and client preferences. We may not be successful in anticipating or responding to these developments on a timely and cost-effective basis, and our ideas may not be accepted in the marketplace. Additionally, the effort to gain technological expertise and develop new technologies in our business requires us to incur significant expenses. If we cannot offer new technologies as quickly as our competitors or if our competitors develop more cost-effective technologies, it could have a material adverse effect on our ability to obtain and complete customer engagements. Also, if customer preferences for technology disproportionately outpace other interaction preferences, it could have a material adverse impact on our revenue profile and growth plans.

17. Defects or errors with our software could adversely affect our business.

 

Design defects or software errors may delay software introductions or reduce the satisfaction level of clients and may have a materially adverse effect on our business and results of operations. Our software is highly complex and may, from time to time, contain design defects or software errors that may be difficult to detect and/or correct. Because both our clients and we use our software to perform critical business functions, design defects, software errors or other potential problems within or outside of our control may arise from the use of our software. It may also result in financial or other damages to our clients, for which we may be held responsible. Although our license and other agreements with our clients may often contain provisions designed to limit our exposure to potential claims and liabilities arising from client problems, these provisions may not effectively protect us against such claims in all cases and in all jurisdictions. Claims and liabilities arising from client problems could result in monetary damages to us and could cause damage to our reputation, adversely affecting our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

18. If we do not effectively manage our capacity, our results of operations could be adversely affected.

 

Our ability to profit from the global trend toward outsourcing depends largely on how effectively we manage our contact center capacity. In order to create the additional capacity necessary to accommodate new or expanded outsourcing projects, we may need to open new contact centers. The opening or expansion of a contact center may result, at least in the short-term, in idle capacity until we fully implement the new or expanded program. We may also experience short-term and/or long-term fluctuations in client demand for services performed in one or more of our contact centers. Short-term downward fluctuations may result in less than optimal site utilization for a period of time. Longer-term downward fluctuations may result in site closures. As a result, we may not achieve or maintain targeted site utilization levels, or site utilization levels may decrease over certain periods and our revenues and profitability may suffer as a result

 

19. Client consolidation could result in a loss of clients and adversely affect our business.

 

We serve clients in industries that have experienced a significant level of consolidation. We cannot assure investors that additional consolidations will not incur in which our clients acquire additional businesses or are acquired themselves. Such consolidations may result in the termination of an existing client contract, which could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

20. If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud. As a result, current and potential shareholders could lose confidence in our financial reporting, which could harm our business and the trading price of our common stock.

 

Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and effectively prevent fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our brand and operating results could be harmed. We will strive to adopt and implement effective internal controls and maintain the effectiveness of our internal controls in the future; however, we cannot guarantee that our internal controls will be effective. As a result, current and potential shareholders could lose confidence in our financial reporting, which could harm our business and the trading price of our common stock.

 

21. Our intellectual property rights are valuable and any inability to protect them could reduce the value of our brand and our business.

 

Our trade secrets, copyrights and our other intellectual property rights are important assets for us. There are events that are outside of our control that pose a threat to our intellectual property rights. Also, the efforts we have taken to protect our propriety rights may not be sufficient or effective. Any significant impairment of our intellectual property rights could harm our business or our ability to compete. Also, protecting our intellectual property rights could be expensive and time consuming.

 

10
 

 

22. Our shareholders may be diluted significantly through our efforts to obtain financing, fund our operations and satisfy our obligations through issuance of additional shares of our common stock.

 

We have no committed source of financing. We will likely have to issue additional shares of our common stock to fund our operations and to implement our plan of operation. Wherever possible, our board of directors will attempt to use non-cash consideration to satisfy obligations. Our board of directors has authority, without action or vote of the shareholders, to issue all or part of the 51,432,533 authorized, but unissued, shares of our common stock. Future issuances of shares of our common stock will result in dilution of the ownership interests of existing shareholders, may further dilute common stock book value and that dilution may be material.

 

23. The marketability and profitability of our services is subject to unknown economic conditions, which could significantly impact our business, financial condition, the marketability of our services and our profitability.

 

The marketability and profitability of our services may be adversely affected by local, regional, national and international economic conditions beyond our control and/or the control of our management, which could significantly impact our business, financial condition, the marketability of our services and our ability to earn a profit. Favorable changes may not necessarily enhance the marketability of our services or our profitability.

 

24. We are vulnerable to the current economic crisis which may negatively affect our profitability.

 

The Subscription Management & Billing and Customer Lifecycle Management businesses are generally affected by a number of factors including general economic conditions, inflation, interest rates, tax rates, and consumer confidence, generally, all of which are beyond our control. We are currently in a severe worldwide economic recession. Runaway deficit spending by the United States government and other countries further exacerbates the United States and worldwide economic climate and may delay or possibly deepen the current recession. Currently, a lot of economic indicators suggest major currency devaluations, higher inflation in some parts of the world and possible deflation in others, dwindling consumer confidence and substantially higher taxes. In addition, sudden disruptions in business conditions as a result of a terrorist attack similar to the events of September 11, 2001 in the United States, the November 2015 Paris attacks and the March 2016 Brussels attacks, including further attacks, retaliation and the threat of further attacks or retaliation, war, adverse weather conditions or other natural disasters, such as Hurricane Katrina, pandemic situations or large scale power outages can have a short term or, sometimes, long term impact on spending.

Risks Related to an Investment in Our Securities

 

25. Because one of our shareholders owns 28,000,000 shares of our common stock and 5,000,000 shares of our Series “A” Preferred Stock, he will be able to exert significant influence over corporate decisions that may be disadvantageous to our minority shareholders.

 

Our President and Chief Executive Officer, Muhunthan Canagasooryam, currently owns 28,000,000 shares of our Common Stock and 5,000,000 shares of our Series “A” Preferred Stock, which allows him to cast controlling votes on any and all matters submitted to our shareholders for a vote. As a result of his ownership position, Mr. Canagasooryam will be able to elect all of our directors and control the vote on any matter brought before a meeting of our shareholders. Such control by Mr. Canagasooryam could be disadvantageous to our minority shareholders, who would have little say in the election of our directors and in any acquisition or merger transaction in which we may become involved.

 

26. Our common stock is not currently traded on any stock exchange or quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board or the Pink Sheets. When and if traded, our common stock will likely be considered to be a “penny stock” and, as such, the market for our common stock may be limited by certain SEC rules applicable to penny stocks.

 

Our common stock is not currently traded on any stock exchange or quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board or the Pink Sheets. When and if traded, our common stock will likely be considered to be a “penny stock” and, as such, the market for our common stock may be limited by certain SEC rules applicable to penny stocks. As long as the price of our common stock remains below $5.00 per share, our shares of common stock are likely to be subject to certain “penny stock” rules promulgated by the SEC. Those rules impose certain sales practice requirements on brokers who sell penny stocks to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally, an institution with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or an individual with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000). For transactions covered by the penny stock rules, the broker must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the sale. Furthermore, the penny stock rules generally require, among other things, that brokers engaged in secondary trading of penny stocks provide customers with written disclosure documents, monthly statements of the market value of penny stocks, disclosure of the bid and asked prices of penny stocks and disclosure of the compensation to the brokerage firm and disclosure of the sales person working for the brokerage firm. These rules and regulations make it more difficult for brokers to sell shares of our common stock and limit the liquidity of our shares.

 

27. FINRA sales practice requirements may limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.

 

In addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA’) has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity and liquidity of our common stock. Further, many brokers charge higher transactional fees for penny stock transactions. As a result, fewer broker-dealers may be willing to make a market in our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock.

 

12
 

 

28. Our officers and director have limited or no experience in public company accounting or in managing a public company that is required to establish and maintain disclosure control and procedures and internal control over financial reporting.

 

We have never operated as a public company. Our officers and director have limited or no experience in public company accounting and limited or no experience in managing a public company and, as such, may not be capable of establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting as required by various rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Unless the Company brings on additional personnel who are experienced in public company accounting and in managing a public company, we may not be able to function successfully as a public company. As a result, your investment in our common stock may be materially adversely affected.

 

29. Our compliance with changing laws and rules regarding corporate governance and public disclosure may result in additional expenses to us which, in turn, may adversely affect our ability to continue our operations.

 

Keeping abreast of, and in compliance with, changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, new SEC regulations and, in the event we are ever approved for listing on either an automated quotation system or a registered exchange, any system or stock exchange rules, will require an increased amount of management attention and external resources. We intend to continue to invest all reasonably necessary resources to comply with evolving standards, which may result in increased general and administrative expenses estimated to be between $60,000 and $75,000 per year and a diversion of management time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance and disclosure activities. This could have an adverse impact on our operations.

 

30. Trading in our securities could be subject to extreme price fluctuations that could adversely affect your investment.

 

Historically speaking, the market prices for securities of small publicly traded companies have been highly volatile. Publicized events and announcements may have a significant impact on the market price of our common stock.

 

In addition, the stock market from time to time experiences extreme price and volume fluctuations that particularly affect the market prices for small publicly traded companies and which are often unrelated to the operating performance of the affected companies.

 

31. We do not expect to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.

 

We will use any earnings generated from our operations to finance our business and will not pay any cash dividends to our shareholders in the foreseeable future.

 

13
 

 

32. We may be exposed to potential risks resulting from new requirements under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

 

Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we will be required, beginning with our next annual report on Form 10-K (that will be due on or about June 29, 2017), to include in our annual report our assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of the end of such fiscal years.

 

We do not have a sufficient number of employees to segregate responsibilities and may be unable to afford increasing our staff or engaging outside consultants or professionals to overcome our lack of employees. We have not yet begun our assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and expect to incur additional expenses and diversion of management’s time as a result of performing the system and process evaluation, testing and remediation required in order to comply with the management certification and auditor attestation requirements. Further, implementing any appropriate changes to our internal controls may distract our officers and employees, entail substantial costs to modify our existing processes and take a significant amount of time to complete. Also, during the course of our testing, we may identify other deficiencies that we may not be able to remediate in time to meet the deadline imposed by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act for compliance with the requirements of Section 404.

 

In addition, if we fail to achieve and maintain the adequacy of our internal controls, as such standards are modified, supplemented or amended from time to time, we may not be able to insure that we can conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal controls over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Moreover, effective internal controls, particularly those related to revenue recognition, are necessary for us to produce reliable financial reports and are important to help prevent financial fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our business and operating results could be harmed, investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information and the trading price of our common stock, if a market ever develops, could drop significantly.

 

33. We will be subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 which will require us to incur audit fees and legal fees in connection with the preparation of such reports. These costs could reduce or eliminate our ability to earn a profit.

 

We will be required to file periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. In order to comply with these regulations, our independent registered public accounting firm must review our financial statements on a quarterly basis and audit our financial statements on an annual basis. Moreover, our legal counsel has to review and assist in the preparation of such reports. The costs charged by these professionals for such services cannot be accurately predicted at this time because of factors such as the number and type of transactions that we engage in and the complexity of our reports cannot be determined at this time and will have a major effect on the amount of time to be spent by our auditors and attorneys.

 

However, the incurrence of such costs will obviously be an expense to our future operations and could have a negative effect on our ability to meet our overhead requirements and earn a profit. We may be exposed to potential risks resulting from new requirements under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our business and operating results could be harmed, investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information and the trading price of our common stock could drop significantly.

 

14
 

 

34. Our amended articles of incorporation provide for indemnification of officers and directors at our expense and limit their liability, which may result in a major cost to us and hurt the interests of our shareholders because corporate resources may be expended for the benefits of officers and/or directors.

 

Our articles of incorporation and applicable Nevada laws provide for the indemnification of our directors, officers, employees and agents under certain circumstances, against attorney’s fees and other expenses incurred by them in any litigation to which they become a party arising from their association with or activities on our behalf. We will also bear the expenses of such litigation for any of our directors, officers, employees or agents, upon such person’s written promise to repay us, therefore, even if it is ultimately determined that any such person shall not have been entitled to indemnification. This indemnification policy could result in substantial expenditures by us that we may be unable to recoup.

 

We have been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, indemnification for liabilities arising under federal securities laws is against public policy and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification for liabilities arising under federal securities laws, other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding, is asserted by a director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will (unless in the opinion of our counsel, the matter has been settled by controlling precedent) submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction, the question of whether indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed by the Securities and Exchange Commission and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. The legal process relating to this matter, if it were to occur, is likely to be very costly and may result is us receiving negative publicity, either of which factors is likely to materially reduce the market price for our shares, if such a market ever develops.

 

35. There are risks associated with forward-looking statements

 

This prospectus contains certain forward-looking statements regarding management’s plans and objectives for future operations including plans and objectives relating to our planned marketing efforts and future economic performance. The forward-looking statements and associated risks set forth in this prospectus include or relate to, among other things, (a) our projected sales and profitability, (b) our growth strategies, (c) anticipated trends in our industry, (d) our ability to obtain and retain sufficient capital for future operations and (e) our anticipated needs for working capital. These statements may be found under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Description of Business,” in this prospectus, as well as in this prospectus, generally. Actual events or results may differ materially from those discussed in forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including, without limitation, the risks outlined under “Risk Factors” and matters described in this prospectus, generally. In light of these risks and uncertainties, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus will, in fact, occur.

 

For all of the foregoing reasons and other reasons set forth herein, an investment in our securities in any market that may develop in the future will involve a high degree of risk.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This prospectus contains forward-looking statements. These statements relate to future events or future financial performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause Duo World’s or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward- looking statements.

 

In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions. Actual events or results may differ materially. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. We are under no duty to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this prospectus to confirm our prior statements to actual results.

 

Further, this prospectus contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. Such statements include, without limitation, all statements as to expectation or belief and statements as to our future results of operations, the progress of any product development, the need for, and timing of, additional capital and capital expenditures, partnering prospects, the protection of and the need for additional intellectual property rights, effects of regulations, the need for additional facilities and potential market opportunities.

 

TAX CONSIDERATIONS

 

We are not providing any tax advice as to the acquisition, holding or disposition of the common stock offered herein. In making an investment decision, investors are strongly encouraged to consult their own tax advisor to determine the U.S. federal, state and any applicable foreign tax consequences relating to their investment in our common stock.

 

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the common stock offered through this prospectus by the selling shareholders. 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 arbitrarily determined and does not necessarily bear any relationship to our book value, assets, operating results, financial condition or any other established criteria of value.

 

16
 

 

The selling shareholders will sell the shares offered at $1.00 per share until our shares are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board or the Pink Sheets and thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices. Our board of directors determined the $1.00 per share offering price based upon a $.25 premium to the price of the last sale of our Common Stock to investors. There is no assurance of when, if ever, our Common Stock will be listed on an exchange or quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board.

 

DILUTION

 

The Common Stock to be sold by the selling shareholders in this offering is Common Stock that is currently issued and outstanding. Accordingly, this offering will not result in dilution to our existing shareholders.

 

SELLING SHAREHOLDERS

 

The selling shareholders acquired or purchased their Common Stock in a private offering. The shares offered by this prospectus may be offered from time to time by the selling shareholders listed in the following table. Each selling shareholder will determine the number of shares to be sold and the timing for the sales. Our registration of the shares does not necessarily mean that the selling shareholders will sell all or any of their shares. Because the selling shareholders may offer all, some or none of their shares, no definitive estimate as to the number of shares thereof that will be held by the selling shareholders after such offering can be provided, and the following table has been prepared on the assumption that all shares of the Common Stock offered under this prospectus will ultimately be sold. None of the selling shareholders are FINRA registered broker-dealers or affiliates of FINRA broker-dealers. No selling shareholder is an officer or director of the Company.

 

The Company will file a prospectus supplement to name successors to any named selling shareholders who are able to use this prospectus to resell their securities.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

Plan of Distribution

 

None of the selling shareholders is a FINRA registered broker-dealer or affiliate of FINRA broker-dealers. The selling shareholders may offer the Common Stock at various times in one or more of the following transactions:

 

  on any market that might develop;
     
  in transactions other than market transactions;
     
  by pledge to secure debts or other obligations;
     
  purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; or
     
  in a combination of any of the above

 

Our shares of Common Stock offered hereby by the selling shareholders may be sold from time to time by such shareholders or by their pledgees, donees, transferees and other successors in interest of such shares. These pledgees, donees, transferees and other successors in interest will also be deemed “selling shareholders” for the purposes of this prospectus.

 

The selling shareholders will sell at a fixed price of $1.00 per share until our Common Stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board and thereafter at prevailing market prices or at privately negotiated prices. In order to comply with the securities laws of certain states, if applicable, the shares may be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers.

 

The selling shareholders may use broker-dealers to sell shares. If this happens, broker-dealers will either receive discounts or commissions from the selling shareholders, or they will receive commissions from purchasers of shares from whom they have acted as agents. To date, no discussions have been held or agreements reached with any broker-dealer.

 

Rule 144 Shares

 

As of the date of this prospectus, we do not have any shares of our Common Stock that are currently available for sale to the public in accordance with the volume and trading limitations of Rule 144 under the Securities Act. However, Rule 144 may become available for the resale of our Common Stock in the future, assuming such resales are made in compliance with the provisions of Rule 144 set forth below.

 

Once Rule 144 becomes available for the resale of our Common Stock, the selling shareholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, rather than under this prospectus. Rule 144 provides that any affiliate or other person who sells restricted securities of an issuer for his own account, or any person who sells restricted or any other securities for the account of an affiliate of the issuer of such securities, shall be deemed not to be engaged in a distribution of such securities and, therefore, not to be an underwriter thereof within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act, if all of the conditions of Rule 144 are met. Conditions for sales under Rule 144 include:

 

  a. adequate current public information with respect to the issuer must be available;
     
  b. restricted securities must meet a six-month holding period if purchased from a reporting company or a 12-month holding period if purchased from a non-reporting entity (as is the case herein), measured from the date of acquisition of the securities from the issuer or from an affiliate of the issuer;
     
  c. sales of restricted or other securities sold for the account of an affiliate during any three month period, cannot exceed the greater of 1% of the securities of the class outstanding as shown by the most recent statement of the issuer (There is no 1% limitation applied to non-affiliate sales);
     
  d. the securities must be sold in ordinary “broker’s transactions” within the meaning of section 4(4) of the Securities Act or in transactions directly with a market maker, without solicitation by the selling security holders and without the payment of any extraordinary commissions or fees;
     
  e. if the amount of securities to be sold pursuant to Rule 144 during any three month period by an affiliate exceeds 5,000 shares/units or has an aggregate sale price in excess of $50,000, the selling shareholder must file a notice on Form 144 with the Commission.

 

18
 

 

The current information requirement listed in (a) above, the volume limitation listed in (c) above, the requirement for sale pursuant to broker’s transactions listed in (d) above, and the Form 144 notice filing requirements listed in (e) above, cease to apply to any restricted securities sold for the account of a non-affiliate if at least six months has elapsed from the date the securities were acquired from the issuer or from an affiliate, if the issuer is a reporting company or 12 months if the issuer is a non-reporting company.

 

The selling shareholders shall have the sole and absolute discretion not to accept any purchase offer or make any sale of shares if they deem the purchase price to be unsatisfactory at any particular time.

 

The selling shareholders or their respective pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors in interest, may also sell the shares directly to market makers acting as principals and/or broker-dealers acting as agents for themselves or their customers. Such broker-dealers 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 agents or to whom they sell as principal or both, which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer might be in excess of customary commissions. Market makers and block purchasers purchasing the shares will do so for their own account and at their own risk. It is possible that a selling shareholder will attempt to sell shares of common stock in block transactions to market makers or other purchasers at a price per share which may be below the then market price. The selling shareholders cannot assure that all or any of the shares offered in this prospectus will be sold by the selling shareholders.

 

The selling shareholders, alternatively, may sell all or part of the shares offered in this prospectus through an underwriter. No selling shareholder has entered into any agreement with a prospective underwriter and there is no assurance that any such agreement will be entered into by a selling shareholder. In the event that a selling shareholder sells all or part of the shares offered in this prospectus through an underwriter, the maximum compensation paid to any such underwriter shall be 8% and shall be paid by such selling shareholder.

 

Duo World’s affiliates and/or promoters, who are offering their shares for resale, the selling shareholders and any broker-dealers who act in connection with the sale of the shares hereunder will be deemed to be “underwriters” of this offering within the meaning of the Securities Act and any commission they receive and proceeds of any sale of the shares may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act.

 

Selling shareholders and any purchasers of our securities should be aware that any market that develops in our common stock will be subject to “penny stock” restrictions.

 

We will pay all expenses incident to the registration, offering and sale of the common stock other than commissions or discounts of underwriters, broker-dealers or agents.

 

19
 

 

The selling shareholders must comply with the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in the offer and sale of the common stock. In particular, during such times as the selling shareholders may be deemed to be engaged in a distribution of the common stock, and, therefore, be considered to be an underwriter, they must comply with applicable law and we have informed them that they may not, among other things:

 

  1. Engage in any stabilization activities in connection with the shares;
     
  2. Effect any sale or distribution of the shares until after the prospectus shall have been appropriately amended or supplemented, if required, to describe the terms of the sale or distribution; or
     
  3. Bid for or purchase any of the shares or rights to acquire the shares or attempt to induce any person to purchase any of the shares or rights to acquire the shares, other than as permitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

 

The offering will conclude when all of the 8,567,467 shares of Common Stock have been sold by the selling shareholders or we, in our sole discretion, decide to terminate the registration of the shares. We may decide to terminate the registration if it is no longer necessary due to the operation of the resale provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933. We also may terminate the offering for no reason whatsoever.

 

Selling shareholders and any purchasers of our common stock should be aware that the market in our common stock, assuming a market develops, will be subject to the penny stock restrictions.

 

The trading of our common stock, assuming a market develops, will take place in the over-the-counter markets, which are commonly referred to as the OTCBB, as maintained by FINRA. As a result, an investor may find it difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the price of, our common stock.

 

OTCBB Considerations

 

The OTCBB is separate and distinct from the NASDAQ stock market. NASDAQ has no business relationship with issuers of securities quoted on the OTCBB. The SEC’s order handling rules, which apply to NASDAQ-listed securities, do not apply to securities quoted on the OTCBB.

 

Although the NASDAQ stock market has rigorous listing standards to ensure the high quality of its issuers and can delist issuers for not meeting those standards, the OTCBB has no listing standards. Rather, it is the market maker who chooses to quote a security on the system, files the application and is obligated to comply with keeping information about the issuer in its files. FINRA cannot deny an application by a market maker to quote the stock of a company assuming all FINRA questions relating to its Rule 211 process are answered accurately and satisfactorily. The only requirement for ongoing inclusion in the OTCBB is that the issuer be current in its reporting requirements with the SEC.

 

Investors may have difficulty in getting orders filled because trading activity on the OTCBB in general is not conducted as efficiently and effectively as with NASDAQ-listed securities. As a result, investors’ orders may be filled at prices much different than expected when orders are placed.

 

Investors must contact a broker-dealer to trade OTCBB securities. Investors do not have direct access to the bulletin board service. For bulletin board securities, there only has to be one market maker.

 

20
 

 

Because OTCBB stocks are usually not followed by analysts, there may be lower trading volume than for NASDAQ-listed securities.

 

Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

 

Our shares are covered by Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) and Rules 15g-1 through 15g-6 promulgated thereunder. They impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell our securities to persons other that established customers and accredited investors (generally institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouses).

 

Rule 15g-1 exempts a number of specific transactions from the scope of the penny stock rules (but is not applicable to us).

 

Rule 15g-2 declares unlawful broker-dealer transactions in penny stocks unless the broker-dealer has first provided to the customer a standardized disclosure document.

 

Rule 15g-3 provides that it is unlawful for a broker-dealer to engage in a penny stock transaction unless the broker-dealer first discloses and subsequently confirms to its customers current quotation prices or similar market information concerning the penny stock in question.

 

Rule 15g-4 prohibits broker-dealers from completing penny stock transactions for a customer unless the broker-dealer first discloses to the customer the amount of compensation or other remuneration received as a result of the penny stock transaction.

 

Rule 15g-5 requires that a broker-dealer executing a penny stock transaction, other than one exempt under Rule 15g-1, disclose to its customer, at the time of or prior to the transaction, information about the sales person’s compensation and the compensation of any associated person of the broker-dealer.

 

Rule 15g-6 requires broker-dealers selling penny stocks to provide their customers with monthly account statements.

 

Rule 3a51-1 of the Exchange Act establishes the definition of a “penny stock” for purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a minimum bid price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to a limited number of exceptions. It is likely that our shares will be considered to be penny stocks for the immediately foreseeable future. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the penny stock rules require that a broker or dealer approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks and the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.

 

In order to approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must obtain financial information and investment experience and objectives of the person and make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and that that person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.

 

21
 

 

The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form, sets forth:

 

  The basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and
     
  ●  That the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction.

 

Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and commission payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.

 

The above-referenced requirements may create a lack of liquidity, making trading difficult or impossible, and accordingly, shareholders may find it difficult to dispose of our shares.

 

State Securities - Blue Sky Laws

 

There is no established public market for our common stock and there can be no assurances that any market will develop in the foreseeable future. Transfer of our common stock may also be restricted under the securities laws or securities regulations promulgated by various states, commonly referred to as “blue sky” laws. Absent compliance with such individual state laws, our common stock may not be traded in such jurisdictions. Because the common stock registered hereunder has not been registered for resale under blue sky laws of every state, the holders of such shares and persons who desire to purchase them in any trading market that might develop in the future, should be aware that there may be significant state blue sky law restrictions upon the ability of investors to sell the common stock and of purchasers to purchase the common stock. Accordingly, investors may not be able to liquidate their investments and should be prepared to hold the common stock for an indefinite period of time.

 

Selling shareholders may contact us directly to ascertain procedures necessary for compliance with blue sky laws in the applicable states relating to sellers and/or purchasers of shares of our common stock.

 

We may apply for listing in Mergent, Inc., a leading provider of business and financial information on publicly listed and quoted companies, which, once published, will provide Duo World with “manual” exemptions in approximately 39 states, the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands, as indicated in CCH Blue Sky Law Desk Reference at Section 6301 entitled “Standard Manual Exemptions.”

 

Thirty-nine states, certain U.S. Territories (Guam, Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands) and the District of Columbia have what is commonly referred to as a “manual exemption” for secondary trading of securities such as those to be resold by selling shareholders under this registration statement. In these states, territories and district, so long as we obtain and maintain a listing in Mergent, Inc. or Standard and Poor’s Corporate Manual, secondary trading of our common stock can occur without filing, review or approval by state regulatory authorities in these states. These states are: Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Nevada, Florida, Hawaii, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming. We cannot secure this listing, and thus this qualification, until after our registration statement is declared effective. Once we secure this listing, secondary trading can occur in these states without further action.

 

22
 

 

We currently do not intend to and may not be able to qualify securities for resale in other states which require shares to be qualified before they can be resold by our shareholders.

 

Limitations Imposed by Regulation M

 

Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the shares may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to our common stock for a period of two business days prior to the commencement of such distribution. In addition and without limiting the foregoing, each selling shareholder will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the associated rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation Regulation M, which provisions may limit the timing of purchases and sales of shares of our common stock by the selling shareholders. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the selling shareholders and have informed them of the need for delivery of copies of this prospectus to purchasers at or prior to the time of any sale of the shares offered hereby. We assume no obligation to so deliver copies of this prospectus or any related prospectus supplement.

 

MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

 

As of May 19, 2016, we had 38,567,467 shares of Common Stock and 5,500,000 shares of Series “A” Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.

 

There currently exists no public trading market for our Common Stock. We do not expect a public trading market to develop until we become a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. There can be no assurance that a public trading market will develop at that time or be sustained in the future. Without an active public trading market, investors in this offering may be unable to liquidate their shares of our Common Stock without considerable delay, if at all. If a market does develop, the price for our shares may be highly volatile and may bear no relationship to our actual financial condition or results of operations. Factors we discuss in this prospectus, including the many risk factors associated with an investment in Duo World, may have a significant impact on the market price of our Common Stock. Also, because of the relatively low price at which our Common Stock will likely trade, many brokerage firms may not effect transactions in our common stock.

 

Holders

 

As of May 19, 2016, there were approximately 26 shareholders of record of our Common Stock and 3 shareholders of record of our Series “A” Preferred Stock.

 

Dividends

 

We have not paid cash dividends on any class of equity since formation and we do not anticipate paying any dividends on our outstanding Common Stock in the foreseeable future. There are no material restrictions limiting or that are likely to limit our ability to pay dividends on its outstanding securities.

 

23
 

 

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

 

Our Capitalization:

 

Common Stock

 

Our authorized capital stock consists of 100,000,000 shares, of which 90,000,000 shares are Common Stock, par value $.001 per share. There are currently 38,567,467 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding. The holders of our Common Stock:

 

  have equal ratable rights to dividends from funds legally available if and when declared by our board of directors;
     
  are entitled to share ratably in all of our assets available for distribution to holders of common stock upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs;
     
  do not have preemptive, subscription or conversion rights and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions or rights; and
     
  are entitled to one non-cumulative vote per share on all matters on which stockholders may vote.

 

Non-Cumulative Voting

 

Holders of shares of our Common Stock do not have cumulative voting rights, which means that the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares, voting for the election of directors, can elect all of the directors to be elected, if they so choose, and, in that event, the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any of our directors.

 

Preferred Stock

 

We are authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, which have been designated as Series “A” Preferred Stock. 5,500,000 shares of Series “A” Preferred Stock are outstanding, including 5,000,000 shares held by our President, Muhunthan Canagasooryam.

 

Each share of Series “A” Preferred Stock has one vote on all matters presented to the Company’s shareholders for a vote. The Series “A” Preferred Stock votes along with the Common Stock and does not vote as a separate class. Each share of Series “A” Preferred Stock is convertible into ten shares of Common Stock. The Series “A” Preferred Stock has no dividend, liquidation or other rights.

 

Cash Dividends

 

We have never paid any cash dividends to stockholders. The declaration of any future cash dividend will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon our earnings, if any, our capital requirements and financial position and our general economic condition. It is our intention not to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future, but rather to reinvest earnings, if any, in our business operations.

 

Warrants and Options

 

We have no outstanding stock options or warrants. However, we anticipate implementing a stock option and compensation plan in the future to provide for the issuance of Common Stock to our officers, key personnel and consultants.

 

24
 

 

Registration Rights

 

We have not granted registration rights to the selling shareholders or to any other person. However, we have decided to file a registration statement, of which this prospectus is a part, to accommodate shareholders who recently acquired shares of our Common Stock in private placements.

 

Anti-Takeover Provisions

 

There are no Nevada anti-takeover provisions that our Board of Directors has adopted which may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control.

 

Liability of Directors and Officers

 

Article 9 of the Company’s amended Articles of Incorporation provides that our directors and officers shall not be personally liable to the Company or our shareholders for damages for breach of fiduciary duty. However, Article 9 does not eliminate or limit a director or officer for (i) acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, or (ii) the unlawful payment of dividends.

 

Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

 

Article VII, Section 7 of the Company’s Bylaws provide that the Company shall indemnify its officers, directors, employees and agents to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of Nevada. Article 10 of our amended Articles of Incorporation provides for indemnification for our officers, directors, employees and agents in accordance with the Nevada Revised Statutes.

 

The Nevada Revised Statutes allow us to indemnify our officers, directors, employees, and agents from any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, except under certain circumstances, except an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement, actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the action, suit or proceeding, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner, which such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, or that, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, such person had reasonable cause to believe that the conduct was unlawful.

 

NRS 78.751 of the Nevada Revised Statutes allows a corporation to authorize discretionary indemnification under certain circumstances. A corporation shall have discretion to indemnify only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination may be made (i) by the shareholders; (ii) by the board of directors by majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit, or proceeding; (iii) if a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding so orders, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or (iv) if a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding cannot be obtained, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion.

 

25
 

 

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the company, we have been advised by our special securities counsel that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy and is, therefore, unenforceable.

 

Authorized but Unissued Capital Stock

 

Nevada law does not require shareholder approval for any issuance of authorized shares. However, the marketplace rules of the NASDAQ, which would apply only if our common stock were ever listed on the NASDAQ, which is unlikely for the foreseeable future, require shareholders’ approval of certain issuances of common stock equal to or exceeding 20% of the then outstanding voting power or then outstanding number of shares of common stock, including in connection with a change of control of Duo World, the acquisition of the stock or assets of another company or the sale or issuance of common stock below the book or market value price of such stock. These additional shares may be used for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings to raise additional capital or to facilitate corporate acquisitions.

 

One of the effects of the existence of unissued and unreserved common stock may be to enable our board of directors to issue shares to persons friendly to current management, which issuance could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of our board by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise, and thereby protect the continuity and entrenchment of our management and possibly deprive the shareholders of opportunities to sell their shares of our common stock at prices higher than prevailing market prices.

 

Shareholder Matters

 

As an issuer of “penny stock,” the protection provided by the federal securities laws relating to forward-looking statements does not apply to us if our shares are considered to be penny stocks. Although the federal securities laws provide a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by a public company that files reports under the federal securities laws, this safe harbor is not available to issuers of penny stocks. As a result, we will not have the benefit of this safe harbor protection in the event of any claim that the material provided by us, including this prospectus, contained a material misstatement of fact or was misleading in any material respect because of our failure to include any statements necessary to make the statements not misleading.

 

INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL

 

No expert or counsel named in this prospectus as having prepared or certified any part of this prospectus or having given an opinion upon the validity of the securities being registered or upon other legal matters in connection with the registration or offering of the common stock was employed on a contingency basis, or had, or is to receive, in connection with the offering, a substantial interest, direct or indirect, in the registrant. Nor was any such person connected with the registrant as a promoter, managing or principal underwriter, voting trustee, director, officer or employee.

Duo World, Inc. was formed as a Nevada corporation in 2014 for the purpose of acquiring three operating entities: (i) Duo Software (Pvt.) Limited, a Sri Lankan company (“Duo Software Sri Lanka”), from Mr. Muhunthan Canagasooryam, Duo World’s President and founder, in exchange for 28,000,000 shares of our common stock and 5,000,000 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock; (ii) Duo Software (Pte.) Limited, a Singaporean company (“Duo Software Singapore”), from Ms. Koshala Nishaharan, in exchange for 2,000,000 shares of our common stock; and (iii) Duo Software India (Private) Limited, an India company (“Duo Software India”). Duo Software India is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Duo Software Singapore. These acquisitions were accomplished as of December 3, 2014.

 

Duo Software Sri Lanka was incorporated on September 22, 2004 in the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka, as a limited liability company under the Sri Lanka Companies Act No. 17 of 1982, and was subsequently reregistered under the Sri Lanka Companies Act No. 7 of 2007, in compliance with the New Companies Act, which came into effect in 2007.

 

Duo Software Singapore was incorporated on June 5, 2007 in the Republic of Singapore under the Companies Act (Cap 50. 1994 Rev. Ed).

 

Duo Software India was incorporated on August 30, 2007, under the Companies Act of 1956 in the Republic of India and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Duo Software Singapore.

The Company’s website and the information contained therein are not considered as being incorporated into this prospectus.

 

Duo World has a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to all employees, as well as our Board of Directors and officers. The Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is posted on our website at www.duoworld.com. The Company will post on our website any amendments to, or waivers of, the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.

Duo Software Sri Lanka commercially launched two software applications on the Duo World platform: DuoSubscribe Version 4.9 and DuoCLM Version 4.9. Since their releases, these products have been marketed mainly in the South East Asian region (Bangladesh, India, Maldives, Nepal, Sri Lanka and the Middle East) to companies in the banking, retail, PayTV, telecommunications and airlines industries who prefer and depend on business process outsourcing.

 

Most of the Company’s product development, research and development, global support center, project management, business process and implementation, finance and treasury and human resource management functions are conducted and managed through Duo Software Sri Lanka.

 

Duo Software Singapore was established primarily for the purpose of marketing of our enterprise versions DuoSubscribe and DuoCLM. Duo Software Singapore has been highly instrumental in generating successful sales leads through its presence at trade exhibitions and in following up sales leads.

 

Duo Software India was established for the purposes of having a dedicated sales team in India to promote and support our enterprise versions of DuoSubscribe and DuoCLM, which we developed for the robust PayTV and subscription industry in India. India is the world’s second most populated country and has a large number of PayTV operators in the subscription economy in India.

 

Duo Software India has been successful in penetrating the PayTV industry, and enterprise versions of DuoSubscribe and DuoCLM are being employed as the operation platform in some of the dominant PayTV operators in New Delhi, Mumbai, Kochin and Kolkata, India.

 

Industry and Market

 

The subscription based software industry is an industry where software applications are hosted on a public or private cloud platform and services are provided on a monthly subscription model known as “Software as a Service” or “SaaS.” SaaS is a software licensing and delivery model in which software is licensed on a subscription basis and is centrally hosted on the cloud by independent software vendors or application service providers. Unlike traditional software applications which are conventionally sold as a perpetual license with an up-front fee and an annual fee charged for support, SaaS providers, such as Duo World, price their applications using a subscription fee, payable monthly or on a transaction basis. The subscription model allows organizations to access the applications without having to pay a large upfront fee, thereby increasing the potential user base.

 

The subscription industry has recently experienced phenomenal growth and is forecasted to continue to grow in the future. Subscriptions are no longer limited to cable TV, newspapers and magazines. During the past 10 years, there has been a dramatic shift in the way both consumers and companies do business and more companies are using the subscription model to offer everything from music, movies and textbooks to even automobiles for a monthly fee. Many traditional organizations are joining the subscription economy in response to changing consumer habits, as many consumers today value the convenience and flexibility of subscribing for services or access to products more than having to purchase products or services. A lot of small and medium-sized businesses prefer to outsource billing and often outsource billing and subscriber management to specialist service providers such as Duo World.

Duo World Platform

 

The Duo World platform enables organizations to easily build solutions by integrating application software (“app” or “apps”) that are already available through their stores with their own custom apps. Custom apps can be apps built by the organization’s internal developers or by third party developers. Such solutions can be for any industry and range from simple order taking and customer relationship management (“CRM”) to complex billing, device provisioning, analytics, reporting and others.

 

The Duo World platform provides a multi-tiered architecture to deliver flexibility of communication, information access and resource utilization in order to facilitate cross application connectivity, faster and easier enhancement and changes to the application, easy scaling, and growth in scope of business domain covered, among others.

Our DuoSubscribe and Duo CLM Solutions are custom applications built to run on the Duo World platform using its core functionalities. DuoSubscribe is a subscription management and billing solution that enables organizations to manage recurring revenue and subscriber portfolio by providing end-to-end solutions that cater to the subscription economy and to any enterprise that needs to manage subscriptions.

 

Duo CLM is our customer lifecycle management solution or “CLCM” that we designed to manage the entire customer life cycle from the initial contact point with a customer to after sales support. CLCM solutions are offered to large organizations that have dedicated customer support / call centers to maintain the customer relationship such as banks, airlines, telecommunication companies and cable TV operators. We also offer our services to small and medium-sized organizations via local telecom partners as a “platform as a service” and also through business process outsourcing partners on a multi-tenant system. In this model, we work on a revenue sharing model with our customer- partners on a monthly fee basis. Duo CLM helps organizations manage the entire customer lifecycle from the initial contact point and the complete customer experience through an integrated multichannel contact center and CRM offering to help drive revenues. Designed to be highly scalable to meet the comprehensive needs of any industry, Duo CLM offers a suite of components designed to help handle calls effectively and boost the overall level of productivity of a contact center.

 

Our products are offered as onsite implemented solutions for large-scale organizations and offered via cloud as hosted solutions for small and medium-sized businesses where they can pay as they grow. We have enabled companies from startups to large-scale enterprises in any industry to launch and manage their subscriptions, billing, product portfolio and services offered.

 

On our cloud model, known as CloudCharge, is a customer lifecycle, subscription management and billing system that caters to the subscription economy and operates on the cloud as a Software-as-a Service (“SaaS”). CloudCharge allows users to register and begin using the system on the cloud, instantly. Users may try the system with a startup package to experience and test the system before committing to subscribe, which will eliminate an entry barrier for users desiring to try the system. Our customers will pay on a monthly basis as it allows them to start with a free trial for a limited period and then pay as they become confident about the system. Also, it allows them to scale up on the fly as they expand their business and pay for what they use.

 

CloudCharge provides open Application Programming Interfaces (“API”) for third party integrations and the platform also offers a software development kit or “SDK,” a programming package that enables third party programmers to develop applications for our platform, which should enhance and help the platform grow across multiple verticals. CloudCharge’s key features are:

 

  customer profiling and portfolio management
     
  order taking and provisioning
     
  invoicing and payment processing
     
  subscription management and billing
     
  customer relationship management
     
  social media integration
     
  marketing campaign and sales lead management
     
  payment gateway integration
     
  notifications and payment reminders
     
  easy to use interface
     
  open application program interface (“API”) for third party integration
     
  third party developer platform

 

The solutions are implemented onsite and licensing can be on either a Capex (capital expenditure) or an Opex (operational expenditure) model. On the Capex model, the application usage license is sold for a one-time fee and a support fee is charged based on the selected support package. In the event a customer selects the Opex model, the customer will be paying a monthly fee for the usage of application license and the fee is determined on the scale of the operation.

Duo World is selling its products in the foreign arena and is exposed to foreign currency fluctuations. However, since we quote our prices in U.S. Dollars, for the most part, we do not feel the risks normally associated with foreign currencies are material to our business.

 

Our Intellectual Property

 

We have no patents. Our trademarks are registered in Sri Lanka and will be registered in the United States shortly. Our trade secrets, copyrights and our other intellectual property rights are important assets for us. We enter into confidentiality agreements with our employees and consultants and we generally control access to and distribution of proprietary information.

For example, effective intellectual property protection may not be available in every country in which our services are made available through the Internet. Also, the efforts we have taken to protect our propriety rights may not be sufficient or effective. Any significant impairment of our intellectual property rights could harm our business or our ability to compete.

Overview

 

Duo World Inc. (hereinafter referred to as “Successor” or “Duo”) a private company, was organized under the laws of the state of Nevada on September 19, 2014. Duo Software (Pvt.) Limited (hereinafter referred to as “DSSL” or “Predecessor”), a Sri Lanka based company, was incorporated on September 22, 2004, in the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka, as a limited liability company. Duo Software (Pte.) Limited (hereinafter referred to as “DSS” or “Predecessor”), a Singapore based company, was incorporated on June 5, 2007 in the Republic of Singapore as a limited liability company. DSS also includes its wholly-owned subsidiary, Duo Software India (Private) Limited (India) which was incorporated on August 30, 2007, under the laws of India.

 

Effective December 3, 2014, DSSL and DSS executed a reverse recapitalization with Duo. Duo (Successor) is a holding company that conducts operations through its wholly owned subsidiaries DSSL and DSS (Predecessors) in Sri Lanka, Singapore and India. The consolidated entity is referred to as “the Company”. The Company, having its development center in Colombo, Sri Lanka, has been in the business of developing products and services for the subscription based industry. The Company’s application (“Duo Subscribe” & “Duo Contact”) runs on its core platform “Duo World” and is a provider of solutions for its customers for Customer Life Cycle Management, Subscriber Management, Customer Care, Billing and Contact Center Management.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of consolidated financial statements also requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, costs and expenses and related disclosures. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ significantly from the estimates made by our management. To the extent that there are differences between our estimates and actual results, our future financial statement presentation, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows will be affected. We believe that the accounting policies discussed below are critical to understanding our historical and future performance, as these policies relate to the more significant areas involving management’s judgments and estimates.

 

Critical accounting policies and estimates are those that we consider the most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations because they require our most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of the matters that are inherently uncertain.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue from the sales of software licenses and related services in accordance with ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition. ASC Topic 605 sets forth guidance as to when revenue is realized or realizable and earned, which is generally when all of the following criteria are met:

 

  ●  Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists. Evidence of an arrangement generally consists of a contract or purchase order signed by the customer.
     
  Delivery has occurred or services have been performed. Services are considered delivered as the work is performed or, in the case of maintenance, over the contractual service period. The Company uses written evidence of customer acceptance to verify delivery or completion of any performance terms.
     
  The seller’s price to the buyer is fixed or determinable. The Company assesses whether the sales price is fixed or determinable based on payment terms associated with the transaction and whether the sales price is subject to refund or adjustment.
     
  Collectability is reasonably assured. The Company assesses collectability primarily based on the creditworthiness of the customer as determined by credit checks and related analysis, as well as the Customer’s payment history, economic conditions in the customer’s industry and geographic location and general economic conditions. If we do not consider collection of a fee to be probable, we defer the revenue until the fees are collected, provided all other conditions for revenue recognition have been met.

Duo typically licenses its products on a per server, per user basis with the price per customer varying based on the selection of the products licensed, the number of site installations and the number of authorized users. Currently, Duo is offering two major products from which it generates its revenue: “Duo Contact” and “Duo Subscribe.” In the case of “Duo Contact,” Duo offers licenses to use software to its clients under an agreement. Invoices are issued monthly over the term of agreement. Then we recognize revenue monthly over the term of the underlying arrangement. In the case of “Duo Subscribe,” Duo sells its software license along with software implementation and annual maintenance services under an agreement with various clients. Duo invoices on key milestone basis as defined in the agreement. Then we recognize revenue on the basis of stage of completion basis. Revenues from consulting and training services are typically recognized as the services are performed.

 

Duo offers annual maintenance programs on its licenses that provide for technical support and updates to Duo’s software products. Maintenance fees are bundled with license fees in the initial licensing period and charged separately for renewals of annual maintenance in subsequent years. Fair value for maintenance is based upon either renewal rates stated in the contracts or separate sales of renewals to customers. Revenue is recognized ratably, or daily, over the term of the maintenance period, which is typically one year.

 

Provisions

 

A provision is recognized when the company has present obligations as a result of past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligations and reliable estimate can be made of amount of the obligation. Provisions are not discounted at their present value and are determined based on the best estimate required to settle the obligation at the reporting date. These estimates are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, 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 bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. 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. 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.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

 

We are exposed to financial market risks, primarily changes in interest rates. Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices.

 

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

 

Our results of operations and cash flows are subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. All of our revenues are normally generated in U.S. dollars or Sri Lankan Rupees. Our expenses are generally denominated in the currencies in which our operations are located, which is primarily in Asia and to a lesser extent in the U.S. Our results of operations and cash flows are, therefore, subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and may be adversely affected in the future due to changes in foreign exchange rates. To date, we have not engaged in any foreign currency hedging strategies. As our international operations grow, we plan to generate revenues in foreign currencies and we will continue to reassess our approach to manage our risk relating to fluctuations in currency rates.

 

Inflation

 

We do not believe that inflation had a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations in the last three fiscal years. If our costs were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs through price increases. Our inability or failure to do so could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Independent Directors

 

Mr. Mahmud R. Ameen is our only independent Director. We are unlikely to be able to recruit and retain any additional independent Directors due to our small size and limited financial resources.

 

Director Qualifications

 

We do not have a formal policy regarding director qualifications. In the opinion of Muhunthan Canagasooryam, our President and majority shareholder, the Company’s Directors have sufficient business experience and integrity to carry out the Company’s plan of operations. Since none of the Company’s Directors or officers has any experience in running a publicly held company, our Board of Directors recognize that the Company will have to rely on professional advisors, such as attorneys and accountants with public company experience to assist with compliance with Exchange Act reporting and corporate governance matters.

 

Family Relationships

Audit Committee

 

The Board of Directors acts as the Audit Committee and the Board has no separate committees.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

 

We have prepared the following Compensation Discussion and Analysis to provide you with information that we believe is necessary to understand our executive compensation policies and decisions as they relate to the compensation of our named executive officers.

 

We have only one member on our board of directors and do not currently have a compensation committee. However, we intend to expand our board of directors in the near future by appointing or electing at least two new directors who will be deemed to be independent directors. The presence of independent directors on our board of directors will allow us to form and constitute a compensation committee of our board of directors.

 

The primary objectives of the compensation committee with respect to executive compensation will be to (i) attract and retain the best possible executive talent available to us; (ii) motivate our executive officers to enhance our growth and profitability and increase shareholder value; and (iii) reward superior performance and contributions to the achievement of corporate objectives.

 

The focus of our executive pay strategy will be to tie short-term and long-term cash and equity incentives to the achievement of measurable corporate and individual performance objectives or benchmarks and to align executive compensation with the creation and enhancement of shareholder value. In order to achieve these objectives, our compensation committee will be tasked with developing and maintaining a transparent compensation plan that will tie a substantial portion of our executives’ overall compensation to our sales, operational efficiencies and profitability.

 

Our board of directors has not set any performance objectives or benchmarks for 2015 as it intends for those objectives and benchmarks to be determined by the compensation committee once it is constituted and then approved by the board. However, we anticipate that compensation benefits will include competitive salaries, bonuses (cash and equity based), health insurance and stock option plans.

 

Our compensation committee will meet at least quarterly to assess the cost and effectiveness of each executive benefit and the performance of our executive officers in light of our revenues, expenses and profits.

 

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

 

The following tables set forth the ownership of our common stock by (a) each person known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our outstanding common stock; and (b) by all of our named officers and directors and by all of our named executive officers and directors as a group. To the best of our knowledge, the persons named have sole voting and investment power with respect to such shares and are beneficial owners of the shares indicated in the tables, except as otherwise noted by footnote.

 

The information presented below regarding beneficial ownership of our voting securities has been presented in accordance with the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and is not necessarily indicative of ownership for any other purpose. Under these rules, a person is deemed to be a “beneficial owner” of a security if that person has or shares the power to vote or direct the voting of the security or the power to dispose or direct the disposition of the security. A person is deemed to own beneficially any security as to which such person has the right to acquire sole or shared voting or investment power within 60 days through the conversion or exercise of any convertible security, warrant, option or other right. More than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same securities. The percentage of beneficial ownership by any person as of a particular date is calculated by dividing the number of shares beneficially owned by such person, which includes the number of shares as to which such person has the right to acquire voting or investment power within 60 days, by the sum of the number of shares outstanding as of such date plus the number of shares as to which such person has the right to acquire voting or investment power within 60 days. Consequently, the denominator used for calculating such percentage may be different for each beneficial owner. The numbers and percentages below will not foot due to the unique calculus required by Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Except as otherwise indicated below, we believe that the beneficial owners of our common stock listed below have sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares shown.

(1) The numbers and percentages set forth in these columns are based on 38,567,467 shares of Common Stock outstanding and the shareholder’s beneficial ownership of the 5,500,000 shares of Series “A” Preferred Stock outstanding. The number and percentage of shares beneficially owned is determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under such rule, beneficial ownership includes any shares as to which the selling security holder has sole or shared voting power or investment power and also any shares, which the selling security holder has the right to acquire within 60 days.

MARKET PRICE FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED SHAREHOLDER MATTERS

 

As of May 19, 2016, we had 38,567,467 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding.

 

There currently exists no public trading market for our Common or Preferred Stock. We do not expect a public trading market will develop for several months, if at all. Without an active public trading market, investors in this offering may be unable to liquidate their shares of our Common Stock without considerable delay, if at all. If a market does develop, the price for our shares may be highly volatile and may bear no relationship to our actual financial condition or results of operations. Factors we discuss in this prospectus, including the many risk factors associated with an investment in the Company, may have a significant impact on the market price of our Common Stock. Also, because of the relatively low price at which our Common Stock will likely trade, many brokerage firms may not effect transactions in our Common Stock.

 

Holders

 

As of May 19, 2016, there were approximately 26 shareholders of record of our Common Stock and three shareholders of record of our Series “A” Preferred Stock.

 

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

 

Although we have not adopted formal procedures for the review, approval or ratification of transactions with related persons, we adhere to a general policy that such transactions should only be entered into if they are on terms that, on the whole, are no more favorable, or no less favorable, than those available from unaffiliated third parties and their approval is in accordance with applicable law. Such transactions require the approval of our board of directors.

 

On December 3, 2014, the Company acquired 100% of Duo Software (Pvt.) Limited, a Sri Lankan company, from Muhunthan Canagasooryam, our President and Director, who became our controlling shareholder as a result of such acquisition. The consideration for such acquisition consisted of 28,000,000 shares of Duo World Common Stock, 5,000,000 shares of Duo World Series “A” Preferred Stock and $310,000 to be paid in cash. As of the date of this Prospectus, Duo World has paid $124,000 of the $310,000 cash due to Mr. Canagasooryam.

 

Except as otherwise indicated herein, there have been no related party transactions, or any other transactions or relationships required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors

 

of Duo World Inc.

Nevada

 

We have reviewed the accompanying interim condensed consolidated balance sheet of Duo World Inc. (“the company”) as of December 31, 2015, and the related interim condensed consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the three-month and nine-month periods then ended December 30, 2015 and 2014. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the company’s management.

 

We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

 

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim condensed financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of the company and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2015, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated March 07, 2016, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying interim condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Duo World Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2015

(Unaudited)

 

Note 1 - Organization and Nature of Operations

 

Duo World Inc. (hereinafter referred to as “Successor” or “Duo”) a private company, was organized under the laws of the state of Nevada on September 19, 2014. Duo Software (Pvt.) Limited (hereinafter referred to as “DSSL” or “Predecessor”), a Sri Lanka based company, was incorporated on 22nd September 2004, in the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka, as a limited liability company. Duo Software (Pte.) Limited (hereinafter referred to as “DSS” or “Predecessor”), a Singapore based company, was incorporated on 5th June 2007 in the Republic of Singapore as a limited liability company. DSS also includes its wholly owned subsidiary, Duo Software India (Private) Limited (India) which was incorporated on 30th August 2007, under the laws of India.

 

On November 12, 2014, Duo Software (Pvt.) Limited (DSSL) and Duo Software Pte. Limited (DSS) executed a reverse recapitalization with Duo World Inc. (Duo). See Note 4. Duo (Successor) is a holding company that conducts operations through its wholly owned subsidiaries DSSL and DSS (Predecessors) in Sri Lanka, Singapore and India. The consolidated entity is referred to as “the Company”. The Company, having its development center in Colombo, has been in the space of developing products and services for the subscription-based industry. The Company’s application (“Duo Subscribe” & “Duo Contact”) runs on its core platform “Duo World” and is a provider of solutions for its customers for Customer Life Cycle Management, Subscriber Management, Customer Care, Billing and Contact Center Management.

 

Note 2 - Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and disclosures necessary for a comprehensive presentation of consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. It is management’s opinion, however, that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made which are necessary for a fair consolidated financial statements presentation.

 

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report, which contains the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, together with the Management’s Discussion and Analysis, for the year ended March 31, 2015. The interim results for the period ended December 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year.

 

Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Consolidation

 

Duo World Inc. is the parent company of its 100% subsidiaries Duo Software (Pvt.) Limited (DSSL) and Duo Software Pte. Limited (DSS). Duo Software Pte. Limited is the parent company of its 100% subsidiary Duo Software India (Private) Limited (India). All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate could change in the near term due to one or more future non-confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ from those estimates. The most significant estimates relate to the timing and amounts of revenue recognition, the recognition and disclosure of contingent liabilities and the collectability of accounts receivable.

 

F-6
 

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Company’s operations are subject to significant risk and uncertainties including financial, operational, competition and potential risk of business failure. Product revenues are concentrated in the application software industry, which is highly competitive and rapidly changing. Significant technological changes in the industry or customer requirements, or the emergence of competitive products with new capabilities or technologies could adversely affect operating results

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with various high quality financial institutions and we monitor the credit ratings of those institutions. The Company’s sales are primarily to the companies located in Sri Lanka, Singapore Indonesia and India. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of our customers, and the risk with respect to trade receivables is further mitigated by the diversity, both by geography and by industry, of the customer base. Accounts receivable are due principally from the companies understated contract terms.

 

Provisions

 

A provision is recognized when the company has present obligations because of past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligations and reliable estimate can be made of amount of the obligation. Provisions are not discounted at their present value and are determined based on the best estimate required to settle the obligation at the reporting date. These estimates are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates.

 

Accounts Receivable and Provision for Doubtful Accounts

 

The Company recognizes accounts receivable in connection with the products sold and services provided and have strong policies and procedures for the collection receivables from its clients. However, there are inevitably occasions when the receivables due to the company, cannot be collected and therefore has to be written off as bad debts. While the debt collection process is being pursued, an assessment is made of the likelihood of the receivable being collectable. A provision is therefore made against the outstanding receivable to reflect that component that may not become collectable. The company is in the practice of provisioning for doubtful debts based on the period outstanding as per the following:

 

   Provision 
Trade receivables outstanding:     
Over 24 months   100%
Over 18 months   50%
Over 15 months   25%
Over 12 months   10%
Over 9 months   5%

 

Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2015, there were no cash equivalents.

 

F-7
 

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

The functional currencies of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are their local currencies. For financial reporting purposes, these currencies have been translated into United States Dollars ($) and/or USD as the reporting currency. All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign functional currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the closing exchange rate on the balance sheet date and equity balances are translated at historical rates. Revenues, costs and expenses in foreign functional currencies are translated at the average rate of exchange during the period. Translation adjustments arising from the use of different exchange rates from period to period are included as a component of shareholders’ deficit as “accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).” Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the statement of operations and comprehensive income / (loss) as other income (expense).

 

Fixed assets

 

Fixed assets (including leasehold improvements) are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed utilizing the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. The estimated salvage value is considered as NIL. Amortization of leasehold improvements is computed utilizing the straight-line method over the estimated benefit period of the related assets, which may not exceed 15 years, or the lease term, if shorter. Repairs and maintenance expenditures, which are not considered improvements and do not extend the useful life of the property and equipment, are expensed as incurred. In case of sale or disposal of an asset, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the consolidated financial statements.

 

Useful lives of the fixed assets are as follows:

 

Furniture & Fittings 5 years
Improvements to lease hold assets Lease term
Office equipment 5 years
Computer equipment (Data Processing Equipment) 5 years
Website development 5 years

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company reviews long-lived assets, such as property, plant, and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of by sale would be separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated. The assets and liabilities of a group classified as held for sale would be presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of the balance sheet.

 

Fair Value Measurements and Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company measures assets and liabilities at fair value based on an expected exit price as defined by the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements, which represents the amount that would be received on the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability, as the case may be, in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value may be based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

 

The estimated fair value of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses are carried at historical cost basis, which approximates their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

 

Revenue Recognition, Deferred& Accrued Revenue

 

The Company recognizes revenue from the sales of software licenses and related services in accordance with ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition. ASC Topic 605 sets forth guidance as to when revenue is realized or realizable and earned, which is generally, when all of the following criteria are met:

 

  Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists. Evidence of an arrangement generally consists of a contract or purchase order signed by the customer.

 

F-8
 

 

  Delivery has occurred or services have been performed. Services are considered delivered as the work is performed or, in the case of maintenance, over the contractual service period. The Company uses written evidence of customer acceptance to verify delivery or completion of any performance terms.
     
  The seller’s price to the buyer is fixed or determinable. The Company assesses whether the sales price is fixed or determinable based on payment terms associated with the transaction and whether the sales price is subject to refund or adjustment.
     
  Collectability is reasonably assured. The Company assesses collectability primarily based on the creditworthiness of the customer as determined by credit checks and related analysis, as well as the Customer’s payment history, economic conditions in the customer’s industry and geographic location and general economic conditions. If we do not consider collection of a fee to be probable, we defer the revenue until the fees are collected, provided all other conditions for revenue recognition have been met.

 

The Company typically licenses its products on a per server, per user basis with the price per customer varying based on the selection of the products licensed, the number of site installations and the number of authorized users. Currently, Duo is offering two major products from which it generates its revenue they are “Duo Contact” & “Duo Subscribe”. In the case of “Duo Contact”, Duo offers license to use software to its clients under an agreement. Invoices are raised monthly over the term of agreement. Then it recognizes revenue monthly over the term of the underlying arrangement. In the case of “Duo Subscribe”, Duo sells its software license along with software implementation and annual maintenance services under an agreement with various clients. The Company raises invoice on key milestone basis as defined in the agreement. Then it recognizes revenue based on stage of completion basis. Revenues from consulting and training services are typically recognized as the services are performed.

 

The Company offers annual maintenance programs on its licenses that provide for technical support and updates to the Company’s software products. Maintenance fees are bundled with license fees in the initial licensing period and charged separately for renewals of annual maintenance in subsequent years. Fair value for maintenance is based upon either renewal rates stated in the contracts or separate sales of renewals to customers. Revenue is recognized ratably, or daily, over the term of the maintenance period, which is typically one year.

 

For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company received only cash as consideration for sale of licenses and related services rendered.

 

At December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2015, the Company had following concentrations of accounts receivables with customers:

Accrued Revenue/Unbilled Accounts Receivable - Accrued revenue / unbilled accounts receivable primarily occur due to the timing of the respective billings, which occur subsequent to the end of each reporting period. As at December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2015, unbilled / accrued revenues were $55,258 and $58,210 respectively.

 

Cost of Revenue

 

Cost of revenue mainly includes product implementation costs related to the products offered by Duo. These costs include the cost of personnel to conduct implementations, customer support and consulting, and other personnel-related expenses. The aggregate cost related to the software licenses implementations including support and consulting services pertaining to the revenue recognized during the reporting period, is recognized as Cost of Revenue.

 

Product research and development

 

Product research and development expenses consist primarily of salary and benefits for the Company’s development and technical support staff, contractors’ fees and other costs associated with the enhancements of existing products and services and development of new products and services. Costs incurred for software development prior to technological feasibility are expensed as product research and development costs in the period incurred. Once the point of technological feasibility is reached, which is generally the completion of a working prototype that has no critical bugs and is a release candidate; development costs are capitalized until the product is ready for general release and are classified within “Intangibles assets” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company amortizes capitalized software development costs using the greater of the ratio of the products’ current gross revenues to the total of current gross revenues and expected gross revenues or on a straight-line basis over the estimated economic life of the related product, which is typically four years.

 

During the three months ending on December 31, 2015 and 2014, product research and development cost of $78,592 and $49,191 respectively, was capitalized as “Intangible assets”.

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 audit 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. An audit also includes 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, based on or audit, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Duo World Inc. and Subsidiaries as of March 31, 2015 and 2014, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2015, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Year end

 

Fiscal year of the Company begins on April 1 and ends on March 31.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate could change in the near term due to one or more future non confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ from those estimates. The most significant estimates relate to the timing and amounts of revenue recognition, the recognition and disclosure of contingent liabilities and the collectability of accounts receivable.

 

F-22
 

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Company’s operations are subject to significant risk and uncertainties including financial, operational, competition and potential risk of business failure. Product revenues are concentrated in the application software industry, which is highly competitive and rapidly changing. Significant technological changes in the industry or customer requirements, or the emergence of competitive products with new capabilities or technologies could adversely affect operating results.

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with various high quality financial institutions and we monitor the credit ratings of those institutions. The Company’s sales are primarily to the companies located in Sri Lanka, Singapore Indonesia and India. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of our customers, and the risk with respect to trade receivables is further mitigated by the diversity, both by geography and by industry, of the customer base. Accounts receivable are due principally from the companies understated contract terms.

 

Provisions

 

A provision is recognized when the company has present obligations as a result of past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligations and reliable estimate can be made of amount of the obligation. Provisions are not discounted at their present value and are determined based on the best estimate required to settle the obligation at the reporting date. These estimates are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates.

 

Accounts Receivable and Provision for Doubtful Accounts

 

The Company recognizes accounts receivable in connection with the products sold and services provided and have strong policies and procedures for the collection receivables from its clients. However, there are inevitably occasions when the receivables due to the company, cannot be collected and therefore has to be written off as bad debts. While the debt collection process is being pursued, an assessment is made of the likelihood of the receivable being collectable. A provision is therefore made against the outstanding receivable to reflect that component that may not become collectable. The company is in the practice of provisioning for doubtful debts based on the period outstanding as per the following:

 

   Provision 
Trade receivables outstanding:     
Over 24 months   100%
Over 18 months   50%
Over 15 months   25%
Over 12 months   10%
Over 9 months   5%

 

Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of March 31, 2015 and 2014, there were no cash equivalents.

 

F-23
 

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

The functional currencies of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are their local currencies. For financial reporting purposes, these currencies have been translated into United States Dollars ($) and/or USD as the reporting currency. All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign functional currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the closing exchange rate on the balance sheet date and equity balances are translated at historical rates. Revenues, costs and expenses in foreign functional currencies are translated at the average rate of exchange during the period. Translation adjustments arising from the use of different exchange rates from period to period are included as a component of shareholders’ deficit as “accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).” Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the statement of operations and comprehensive income /(loss) as other income (expense).

 

Fixed assets

 

Fixed assets (including leasehold improvements) are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed utilizing the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. The estimated salvage value is considered as NIL. Amortization of leasehold improvements is computed utilizing the straight-line method over the estimated benefit period of the related assets, which may not exceed 15 years, or the lease term, if shorter. Repairs and maintenance expenditures, which are not considered improvements and do not extend the useful life of the property and equipment, are expensed as incurred. In case of sale or disposal of an asset, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the consolidated financial statements.

 

Useful lives of the fixed assets are as follows:

 

Furniture & Fittings   5 years
Improvements to lease hold assets   Lease term
Office equipment   5 years
Computer equipment (Data Processing Equipment)   5 years
Website development   5 years

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company reviews long-lived assets, such as property, plant, and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of by sale would be separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated. The assets and liabilities of a group classified as held for sale would be presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of the balance sheet.

 

Fair Value Measurements and Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company measures assets and liabilities at fair value based on an expected exit price as defined by the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements, which represents the amount that would be received on the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability, as the case may be, in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value may be based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

 

The estimated fair value of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses are carried at historical cost basis, which approximates their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

 

F-24
 

 

Revenue Recognition, Deferred& Accrued Revenue

 

The Company recognizes revenue from the sales of software licenses and related services in accordance with ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition. ASC Topic 605 sets forth guidance as to when revenue is realized or realizable and earned, which is generally when all of the following criteria are met:

 

  Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists. Evidence of an arrangement generally consists of a contract or purchase order signed by the customer.
     
  Delivery has occurred or services have been performed. Services are considered delivered as the work is performed or, in the case of maintenance, over the contractual service period. The Company uses written evidence of customer acceptance to verify delivery or completion of any performance terms.
     
  The seller’s price to the buyer is fixed or determinable. The Company assesses whether the sales price is fixed or determinable based on payment terms associated with the transaction and whether the sales price is subject to refund or adjustment.
     
  Collectability is reasonably assured. The Company assesses collectability primarily based on the creditworthiness of the customer as determined by credit checks and related analysis, as well as the Customer’s payment history, economic conditions in the customer’s industry and geographic location and general economic conditions. If we do not consider collection of a fee to be probable, we defer the revenue until the fees are collected, provided all other conditions for revenue recognition have been met.

 

The Company typically licenses its products on a per server, per user basis with the price per customer varying based on the selection of the products licensed, the number of site installations and the number of authorized users. Currently, Duo is offering two major products from which it generates its revenue they are “Duo Contact” & “Duo Subscribe”. In the case of “Duo Contact”, Duo offers license to use software to its clients under an agreement. Invoices are raised monthly over the term of agreement. Then it recognizes revenue monthly over the term of the underlying arrangement. In the case of “Duo Subscribe”, Duo sells its software license along with software implementation and annual maintenance services under an agreement with various clients. The Company raises invoice on key milestone basis as defined in the agreement. Then it recognizes revenue on the basis of stage of completion basis. Revenues from consulting and training services are typically recognized as the services are performed.

 

The Company offers annual maintenance programs on its licenses that provide for technical support and updates to the Company’s software products. Maintenance fees are bundled with license fees in the initial licensing period and charged separately for renewals of annual maintenance in subsequent years. Fair value for maintenance is based upon either renewal rates stated in the contracts or separate sales of renewals to customers. Revenue is recognized ratably, or daily, over the term of the maintenance period, which is typically one year.

 

For the years ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company received only cash as consideration for sale of licenses and related services rendered.

 

At March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company had following concentrations of accounts receivables with customers:

Accrued Revenue/Unbilled Accounts Receivable -Accrued revenue/Unbilled accounts receivable primarily occur due to the timing of the respective billings, which occur subsequent to the end of each reporting period. As at March 31, 2015 and 2014, unbilled/accrued revenues were $58,210 and $148,571 respectively.

 

Cost of Revenue

 

Cost of revenue mainly includes product implementation costs related to the products offered by Duo. These costs include the cost of personnel to conduct implementations, customer support and consulting, and other personnel-related expenses. The aggregate cost related to the software licenses implementations including support and consulting services pertaining to the revenue recognized during the reporting period, is recognized as Cost of Revenue.

 

Product research and development

 

Product research and development expenses consist primarily of salary and benefits for the Company’s development and technical support staff, contractors’ fees and other costs associated with the enhancements of existing products and services and development of new products and services. Costs incurred for software development prior to technological feasibility are expensed as product research and development costs in the period incurred. Once the point of technological feasibility is reached, which is generally the completion of a working prototype that has no critical bugs and is a release candidate; development costs are capitalized until the product is ready for general release and are classified within “Intangibles assets” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company amortizes capitalized software development costs using the greater of the ratio of the products’ current gross revenues to the total of current gross revenues and expected gross revenues or on a straight-line basis over the estimated economic life of the related product, which is typically four years.

 

During the years ending on March 31, 2015 and 2014, product research and development cost of $190,210 and $239,770, respectively, was capitalized as “Intangible assets”.

 

Advertising Costs

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, 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 bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. 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. 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.

Note 4 – Reverse Recapitalization

 

Duo (Successor) merged with DSSL (Predecessors) on December 3, 2014, and merged with DSS (Predecessors) on November 12, 2014 (Predecessors), and DSSL and DSS became the surviving corporations, in a transaction treated as a reverse recapitalization. Duo did not have any material operations and majority-voting control was transferred to DSSL.

 

In the recapitalization, Duo issued 28,000,000 shares of common stock, 5,000,000 series “A” preferred shares and $310,000 in cash in exchange for all of DSSL’s 5,000,000 issued and outstanding shares of common stock. Duo also issued 2,000,000 shares of common stock in exchange for all of DSS’s 10,000 issued and outstanding shares of common stock. The transaction resulted in DSSL’s shareholder and DSS’s shareholder acquiring approximately 100% control.

 

The transaction also required a recapitalization of DSSL and DSS. Since DSSL and DSS acquired a controlling voting interest, they were deemed the accounting acquirer, while Duo was deemed the legal acquirer. The historical financial statements of the Company are those of combined financial statements of DSSL & DSS and of the consolidated entities from the date of recapitalization and subsequent.

 

Since the transaction is considered a reverse recapitalization, the presentation of pro-forma financial information was not required. All share and per share amounts have been retroactively restated to the earliest periods presented to reflect the transaction.

The Components of deferred tax assets and Liabilities are as follows;

 

   31/03/2015   31/03/2014 
Deferred tax asset arising from tax effect of :          
Carry forward Losses and Unabsorbed Depreciation  $12,862   $15,283

F-32
 

 

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income taxes.

 

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. As of March 31, 2015 and 2014, based upon the levels of historical taxable income and the limited experience of the Company, the Company believes that it is more-likely-than-not that it will not be able to realize the benefits of some or all of these deductible differences. Accordingly, a valuation allowance of approximately $1,525 and $1,790 has been provided in the accompanying financial statements as of March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

 

Since Duo does not have any undistributed earnings, the Company has not recorded a deferred tax liability associated with the foreign earnings as of March 31, 2015 and 2014. However to deferred tax asset has been recorded associated with Unabsorbed Business Losses and Depreciation

 

The Company is not subject to any foreign income taxes for the years ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. The Company may be subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and state taxing authorities for 2015 and 2014 tax years.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of

 

Duo Software (Pvt.) Limited and Related Entity

 

We have audited the accompanying combined financial statements of Duo Software (Pvt.) Limited and Related Entity which comprise the combined balance sheets as of March 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related combined statements of income, comprehensive income, cash flows, and stockholders’ equity for each of the two years in the period then ended March 31,2014. 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 audit 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. An audit also includes 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, based on our audits, the combined financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Duo Software (Pvt.) Limited and Related Entity as of March 31, 2014 and 2013, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2014, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets , liabilities ,disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate could change in the near term due to one or more future non confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ from those estimates. The most significant estimates relate to the timing and amounts of revenue recognition, the recognition and disclosure of contingent liabilities and the collectability of accounts receivable.

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Company’s operations are subject to significant risk and uncertainties including financial, operational, competition and potential risk of business failure. Product revenues are concentrated in the application software industry, which is highly competitive and rapidly changing. Significant technological changes in the industry or customer requirements or the emergence of competitive products with new capabilities or technologies could adversely affect operating results.

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with various high quality financial institutions and we monitor the credit ratings of those institutions. The Company’s sales are primarily to the companies located in Sri Lanka, Singapore, Indonesia and India. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of our customers. The risk with respect to trade receivables is further mitigated with the diversity, both by geography and by industry, of the customer base. Accounts receivable are due principally from the companies under the stated contract terms.

 

Provisions

 

A provision is recognized when the company has present obligations as a result of past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligations and reliable estimate can be made of amount of the obligation. Provisions are not discounted at their present value and are determined based on the best estimate required to settle the obligation at the reporting date. These estimates are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates.

 

Accounts Receivable and Provision for Doubtful Accounts

The Company recognizes accounts receivable in connection with the products sold and services provided and have strong policies and procedures for the collection of receivables from its clients. However, there are inevitably occasions when the receivables are due to the company, cannot be collected and, therefore, have to be written off as bad debts. While the debt collection process is being pursued, an assessment is made of the likelihood of receivables being collectable. A provision is therefore made against the outstanding receivable to reflect that component that may not become collectable. The company is in the practice of provisioning for doubtful debts based on the period outstanding as per the following:

 

   Provision 
Trade receivables outstanding:     
Over24 months   100%
Over18 months   50%
Over15 months   25%
Over12 months   10%
Over9 months   5%

 

Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of March 31, 2014 and 2013, there were no cash equivalents.

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

The functional currencies of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are their local currencies. For financial reporting purposes, these currencies have been translated into United States Dollars ($) and/or USD as the reporting currency. All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign functional currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the closing exchange rate on the balance sheet date and equity balances are translated at historical rates. Revenues, costs and expenses in foreign functional currencies are translated at the average rate of exchange during the period. Translation adjustments arising from the use of different exchange rates from period to period are included as a component of shareholders’ deficit as “accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).” Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the statement of operations and comprehensive income / (loss) as other income (expense).

 

F-42
 

 

Fixed assets

 

Fixed assets (including leasehold improvements) are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed utilizing the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. The estimated salvage value is considered as NIL. Amortization of leasehold improvements is computed utilizing the straight-line method over the estimated benefit period of the related assets, which may not exceed 15 years, or the lease term, if shorter. Repairs and maintenance expenditures, which are not considered improvements and do not extend the useful life of the property and equipment, are expensed as incurred. In case of sale or disposal of an asset, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the combined financial statements.

 

Useful lives of the fixed assets are as follows:

 

Furniture & Fittings  5 years
Improvements to lease hold assets  Lease term
Office equipment  5 years
Computer equipment (Data Processing Equipment)  5 years
Website development  5 years

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company reviews long-lived assets, such as property, plant, and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of by sale would be presented separately in the balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated. The assets and liabilities of a group classified as held for sale would be presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of the balance sheet.

 

Fair Value Measurements and Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company measures assets and liabilities at fair value based on an expected exit price as defined by the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements, which represents the amount that would be received on the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability, as the case may be, in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value may be based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

 

The estimated fair value of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses are carried at historical cost basis, which approximates their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

 

Revenue Recognition, Deferred& Accrued Revenue

 

The Company recognizes revenue from the sales of software licenses and related services in accordance with ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition. ASC Topic 605 sets forth guidance as to when revenue is realized or realizable and earned, which is generally when all of the following criteria are met:

 

  Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists. Evidence of an arrangement generally consists of a contract or purchase order signed by the customer.
     
  Delivery has occurred or services have been performed. Services are considered delivered as the work is performed or, in the case of maintenance, over the contractual service period. The Company uses written evidence of customer acceptance to verify delivery or completion of any performance terms.

 

F-43
 

 

  The seller’s price to the buyer is fixed or determinable. The Company assesses whether the sales price is fixed or determinable based on payment terms associated with the transaction and whether the sales price is subject to refund or adjustment.
     
  Collectability is reasonably assured. The Company assesses collectability primarily based on the creditworthiness of the customer as determined by credit checks and related analysis, as well as the Customer’s payment history, economic conditions in the customer’s industry and geographic location and general economic conditions. If we do not consider collection of a fee to be probable, we defer the revenue until the fees are collected, provided all other conditions for revenue recognition have been met.

 

The Company typically licenses its products on a per server, per user basis with the price per customer varying based on the selection of the products licensed, the number of site installations and the number of authorized users. Currently, Duo is offering two major products from which it generates its revenue which are “Duo Contact” & “Duo Subscribe”. In the case of “Duo Contact”, Duo offers license to use software to its clients under an agreement. Invoices are raised monthly over the term of agreement. Then it recognizes revenue monthly over the term of the underlying arrangement. In the case of “Duo Subscribe”, Duo sells its software license along with software implementation and annual maintenance services under an agreement with various clients. The Company raises invoice on key milestone basis as defined in the agreement. Then it recognizes revenue on the basis of stage of completion basis. Revenues from consulting and training services are typically recognized as the services are performed.

 

The Company offers annual maintenance programs on its licenses that provide for technical support and updates to the Company’s software products. Maintenance fees are bundled with license fees in the initial licensing period and charged separately for renewals of annual maintenance in subsequent years. Fair value for maintenance is based upon either renewal rates stated in the contracts or separate sales of renewals to customers. Revenue is recognized ratably, or daily, over the term of the maintenance period, which is typically one year.

 

For the years ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company received only cash as consideration for sale of licenses and related services rendered.

 

At March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had following concentrations of accounts receivables with customers:

Accrued Revenue/Unbilled Accounts Receivable -Accrued revenue/Unbilled accounts receivable primarily occur due to the timing of the respective billings, which occur subsequent to the end of each reporting period. As at March 31, 2014 and 2013, unbilled/accrued revenues were $148,571 and $105,505 respectively.

 

Cost of Revenue

 

Cost of revenue mainly includes product implementation costs related to the products offered by Duo. These costs include the cost of personnel to conduct implementations, customer support, consulting, and other personnel-related expenses. The aggregate cost related to the software licenses implementations including support, consulting services pertaining to the revenue recognized during the reporting period, is recognized as Cost of Revenue.

 

Product research and development

 

Product research and development expenses consist primarily of salary and benefits for the Company’s development and technical support staff, contractors’ fees and other costs associated with the enhancements of existing products and services and development of new products and services. Costs incurred for software development prior to technological feasibility are expensed as product research and development costs in the period incurred. Once the point of technological feasibility is reached, which is generally the completion of a working prototype that has no critical bugs and is a release candidate; development costs are capitalized until the product is ready for general release and are classified within “Intangibles assets” in the accompanying combined balance sheets. The Company amortizes capitalized software development costs using the greater of the ratio of the products’ current gross revenues to the total of current gross revenues and expected gross revenues or on a straight-line basis over the estimated economic life of the related product, which is typically four years.

 

During the years ending on March 31, 2014 and 2013, Company capitalized product development $239,770 and $260,332 respectively.

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, 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 bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. 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. 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.

 

Comprehensive Income

 

The Comprehensive Income Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification establishes standards for reporting and presentation of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of financial statements. Comprehensive income from April 1, 2012 through March 31, 2014, includes only foreign currency translation gains (losses), and is presented in the Company’s combined statements of comprehensive income.

Singapore   6,910    (2,471)
           
Total Income Tax Expense  $1,753   $(2,471)

 

The income tax provision differs from the amount of tax determined by applying the federal statutory rate on account of following items;

 

Brought forward losses

Unabsorbed Depreciation

 

The Components of deferred tax assets and Liabilities are as follows;

 

   31/03/2014   31/03/2013 
Deferred tax asset arising from tax effect of :          
Carry forward Losses and Unabsorbed Depreciation  $15,283   $6,859 
           
Less: Valuation allowance   1,790    804 
Total Deferred tax asset (non-current)  $13,492   $6,055 
           
Total Deferred tax liability   Nil    Nil 

 

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income taxes.

 

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. As of March 31, 2014 and 2013, based upon the levels of historical taxable income and the limited experience of the Company, the Company believes that it is more-likely-than-not that it will not be able to realize the benefits of some or all of these deductible differences. Accordingly, a valuation allowance of approximately $1,790 and $ 804 has been provided in the accompanying financial statements as of March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

In the recapitalization, Duo World issued 28,000,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.005 per share amounting to $140,000 and 5,000,000 series “A” shares of preferred stock at a price of $0.005 per share amounting to $25,000 in exchange for all of Duo Software Sri Lanka’s 5,000,000 issued and outstanding shares of common stock. The Company also issued 2,000,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.005 per share amounting to $10,000 in exchange for all of Duo Software Singapore’s 10,000 issued and outstanding shares of common stock.

Liability of Directors and Officers

 

Article 9 of the Company’s amended Articles of Incorporation provides that our directors and officers shall not be personally liable to the Company or our shareholders for damages for breach of fiduciary duty. However, Article 9 does not eliminate or limit a director or officer for (i) acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, or (ii) the unlawful payment of dividends.

 

Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

 

Article VII, Section 7 of the Company’s Bylaws provide that the Company shall indemnify its officers, directors, employees and agents to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of Nevada. Article 10 of our amended Articles of Incorporation provides indemnification for our officers, directors, employees and agents in accordance with the Nevada Revised Statutes.

 

The Nevada Revised Statutes allow us to indemnify our officers, directors, employees, and agents from any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, except under certain circumstances, except an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement, actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the action, suit or proceeding, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner, which such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, or that, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, such person had reasonable cause to believe that the conduct was unlawful.

 

 54 
 

 

NRS 78.751 of the Nevada Revised Statutes allows a corporation to authorize discretionary indemnification under certain circumstances. A corporation shall have discretion to indemnify only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination made (i) by the shareholders; (ii) by the board of directors by majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit, or proceeding; (iii) if a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding so orders, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or (iv) if a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding cannot be obtained, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS

 

We hereby undertake the following:

 

  1. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be available to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred and paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered hereby, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
     
  2. To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 

(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended;

 

(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 this registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of the 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 a prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

 

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

 

  3. That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of the securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
     
  4. File a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the securities being registered that remain unsold at the end of the offering.
     
  5. Each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness, provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
