FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

 

This Form 10-K contains “forward-looking” statements including statements regarding our expectations of our future operations. For this purpose, any statements contained in this Form 10-K that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing, words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” or “continue” or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements by their nature involve substantial risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially depending on a variety of factors, many of which are not within our control.

 

These risks and uncertainties include international, national, and local general economic and market conditions; our ability to sustain, manage, or forecast growth, our ability to successfully make and integrate acquisitions, new product development and introduction, existing government regulations and changes in, or the failure to comply with, government regulations, adverse publicity, competition, fluctuations and difficulty in forecasting operating results, change in business strategy or development plans, business disruptions, the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel, the ability to protect technology, and the risk of foreign currency exchange rate. Although the forward-looking statements in this report reflect the good faith judgment of our management, such statements can only be based on facts and factors currently known by them. In light of these risks and uncertainties, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to announce publicly revisions we make to these forward-looking statements to reflect the effect of events or circumstances that may arise after the date of this report. All written and oral forward-looking statements made subsequent to the date of this report and attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by this section.

  

PART I

 

ITEM 1 DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

History and Background

 

Smartag International, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Smartag,” “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), was formed as Theca Corporation on March 24, 1999 in Colorado.   On November 29, 2004, we merged with Art4Love, Inc., a Delaware corporation, into Art4Love, Inc. a Nevada corporation.  Art4love, Inc. attempted to sell and lease art to companies and individuals from artists’ collections worldwide.  On February 10, 2009, Art4Love changed its name to Smartag International, Inc.

 

In July 2015, Smartag entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Essential Beverage Corporation (“EBC”), a Nevada corporation, pursuant to which the Company purchased a 51% interest in EBC for a total consideration of $399,709 and one million shares of the Company’s restricted common stock valued at $23,000. On March 31, 2016, the Company disposed of its interest in EBC to Lock Sen Yow, the Company’s chairman and director, for $50,000. 

 

In November 2015, Smartag signed an agreement with Bobby Tang Siu Ki and Yang Ye Cai, the co-owners and founders of Shenzhen Shen Nan Shun Technology Co. Ltd (“SSNST”), a company based in Shenzhen, China which is involved in e-commerce trading on e-Bay, Amazon and Alipay platforms. Using the expertise of SSNST, Smartag would develop the business of e-Commerce trading, procurement, collection and distribution through a new joint venture company in Hong Kong called HongKong Vander Trade Limited (“Vander”).

 

On January 1, 2016, the Company entered into a revenue sharing agreement with Vander as a collection and processing agent. The Company charged 5% commission on all sales generated by Vander’s Ecommerce platform. Mr. Ki and Mr. Cai has significant ownership in Vander.

 

On January 29, 2016, Mr. Ki and Mr. Cai purchased 10,000,000 common shares directly from Smartag Solutions Bhd, the former parent company of Smartag. Therefore, the 5% commission is classified as related party revenue in statement of operations. Management has concluded that these entities should not be consolidated under ASC 810 Consolidations because the Company is not the primary beneficiary of Vander and SSNST.

Overview

 

The Company plans to focus on leveraging existing established players in the e-Commerce business overseas to bring their expertise to North America and add value with traceability to increase the overall efficiency and reduce logistics costs.

 

Our mission is to build up a supply chain with Smartag’s track and trace solutions via the established supplier networks in China and other South-East Asian counties. We aspire to be one day the truly global track and trace engine whereby anyone can pay a fee to not only search products which are traceable and buy them at the best (but not necessary lowest) price. Our difference will be that all items found can be traced to the source of origin. However, in the process we also will need to increase our scale by participating in the trade as a trader and not just as a value-added IT solutions provider.

 

Regulation

Government regulation impacts key aspects of our business. In particular, we are subject to laws and regulations that affect the ecommerce industry in many countries where we operate.

 

We are subject to laws and regulations affecting our domestic and international operations in a number of areas, including consumer protection, data privacy requirements, intellectual property ownership and infringement, prohibited items and stolen goods, resale of event tickets, tax, anti-competition, export requirements, anti-corruption, labor, advertising, digital content, real estate, billing, ecommerce, promotions, quality of services, telecommunications, mobile communications and media, environmental, and health and safety regulations, as well as laws and regulations intended to combat money laundering and the financing of terrorist activities.

 

Compliance with these laws, regulations, and similar requirements may be onerous and expensive, and variances and inconsistencies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction may further increase the cost of compliance and doing business. Any such costs, which may rise in the future as a result of changes in these laws and regulations or in their interpretation, could individually or in the aggregate make our products and services less attractive to our customers, delay the introduction of new products or services in one or more regions, or cause us to change or limit our business practices. We have implemented policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations, but there can be no assurance that our employees, contractors, or agents will not violate such laws and regulations or our policies and procedures.  

 

It is not always clear how laws and regulations governing matters relevant to our business, such as property ownership, copyrights, trademarks, and other intellectual property issues, parallel imports and distribution controls, taxation, libel and defamation, and obscenity apply to our businesses. Many of these laws were adopted prior to the advent of the Internet, mobile, and related technologies and, as a result, do not contemplate or address the unique issues of the Internet and related technologies. Many of these laws, including some of those that do reference the Internet are subject to interpretation by the courts on an ongoing basis and the resulting uncertainty in the scope and application of these laws and regulations increases the risk that we will be subject to private claims and governmental actions alleging violations of those laws and regulations.

 

As our activities, the products and services we offer, and our geographical scope continue to expand, regulatory agencies or courts may claim or hold that we or our users are subject to additional requirements (including licensure) or prohibited from conducting our business in their jurisdiction, either generally or with respect to certain actions. Financial and political events have increased the level of regulatory scrutiny on large companies, and regulatory agencies may view matters or interpret laws and regulations differently than they have in the past and in a manner adverse to our businesses. Our success and increased visibility have driven some existing businesses that perceive us to be a threat to their businesses to raise concerns about our business models to policymakers and regulators. These businesses and their trade association groups employ significant resources in their efforts to shape the legal and regulatory regimes in countries where we have significant operations. They may employ these resources in an effort to change the legal and regulatory regimes in ways intended to reduce the effectiveness of our businesses and the ability of users to use our products and services. These established businesses have raised

-4
 

 

concerns relating to pricing, parallel imports, professional seller obligations, selective distribution networks, stolen goods, copyrights, trademarks and other intellectual property rights and the liability of the provider of an Internet marketplace for the conduct of its users related to those and other issues. Any changes to the legal or regulatory regimes in a manner that would increase our liability for third-party listings could negatively impact our business.

 

Numerous U.S. states and foreign jurisdictions, including the State of California, have regulations regarding “auctions” and the handling of property by “secondhand dealers” or “pawnbrokers.” Several states and some foreign jurisdictions have attempted to impose such regulations upon us or our users, and others may attempt to do so in the future. Attempted enforcement of these laws against some of our users appears to be increasing and we could be required to change the way we or our users do business in ways that increase costs or reduce revenues, such as forcing us to prohibit listings of certain items or restrict certain listing formats in some locations. We could also be subject to fines or other penalties, and any of these outcomes could harm our business.

 

Principal Executive Offices

Our principal executive offices are currently located at 3651 Lindell Road Ste D269, Las Vegas, NV 89103. Our telephone number is +1-(702) 589-2176. We believe our facilities are inadequate to meet our current and near-term needs for the next twelve months and we intend to lease premises within the state of California or Nevada within this period.

Insurance

 

We do not currently maintain property, business interruption and casualty insurance. We intend to obtain such insurance in accordance with customary industry practices.

 

Employees

As of September 30, 2016, we had 2 full-time and 1 part-time consultants. Since inception, we have never had a work stoppage, and our employees are not represented by labor unions. We consider our relationship with our employees to be positive.

Legal Proceedings

 

We are not involved in any legal proceedings

 

Corporate Information.

ITEM 1.A   RISK FACTORS

 

The following important factors, and the important factors described elsewhere in this report or in our other filings with the SEC, could affect (and in some cases have affected) our results and could cause our results to be materially different from estimates or expectations. Other risks and uncertainties may also affect our results or operations adversely. The following and these other risks could materially and adversely affect our business, operations, results or financial condition.

 

An investment in the Company is highly speculative in nature and involves an extremely high degree of risk.

  

We have a history of net losses and will not achieve or maintain profitability.

 

We have a history of incurring losses from operations. As of September 30, 2016, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $3,141,295.  We anticipate that our existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund our business needs in the near term. Our ability to continue may prove more expensive than we currently anticipate and we may incur significant additional costs and expenses in connection with the launching of our business.

 

We depend on key personnel to manage our business effectively, and, if we are unable to hire, retain or motivate qualified personnel, our ability to design, develop, market and sell our systems could be harmed.

 

The loss of the services of any of our key personnel may seriously harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the inability to attract or retain qualified personnel, or delays in hiring required personnel, particularly operations, finance, accounting, sales and marketing personnel, may also seriously harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our ability to attract and retain highly skilled personnel will be a critical factor in determining whether we will be successful in the future.

 

We will continue to incur the expenses of complying with public company reporting requirements.

 

We have an obligation to continue to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of the Exchange Act which includes the filing with the SEC of periodic reports, proxy statements and other documents relating to our business, financial conditions and other matters, even though compliance with such reporting requirements is economically burdensome.

 

Our business is difficult to evaluate because we have no recent operating history.

 

As the Company has minimal operating history, revenue and assets, there is a risk that we will be unable to continue as a going concern. We have no significant assets or financial resources except for the financial support from our holding company

 

Our financial statements indicate conditions exist that raise substantial doubt as to whether we will continue as a going concern.

Our audited financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2016 indicate conditions exist that raise substantial doubt as to whether we will continue as a going concern. Our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to obtain financing to fund the continued development of products and working capital requirements.

Substantial and increasingly intense competition worldwide in ecommerce may harm our business.

 

The businesses and markets in which we operate are intensely competitive. We currently and potentially compete with a wide variety of online and offline companies providing goods and services to consumers and merchants. The Internet and mobile networks provide new, rapidly evolving and intensely competitive channels for the sale of all types of goods and services. We compete in two-sided markets, and must attract both buyers and sellers to use our platforms. Consumers who purchase or sell goods and services through us have more and more alternatives, and merchants have more channels to reach consumers. We expect competition to continue to intensify. Online and offline businesses increasingly are competing with each other and our competitors include a number of online and offline retailers with significant resources, large user communities and well-established brands. Moreover, the barriers to entry into these channels can be low, and businesses easily can launch online sites or mobile platforms and applications at nominal cost by using commercially available software or partnering with any of a number of successful ecommerce companies. As we respond to changes in the competitive environment, we may, from time to time, make pricing, service or marketing decisions or acquisitions that may be controversial with and lead to dissatisfaction among sellers, which could reduce activity on our platform and harm our profitability.

 

We face increased competitive pressure online and offline. In particular, the competitive norm for, and the expected level of service from, ecommerce and mobile commerce has significantly increased, due to, among other factors, improved user experience, greater ease of buying goods, lower (or no) shipping costs, faster shipping times and more favorable return policies. Also, certain platform businesses, such as Alibaba, Apple, Google and Facebook, many of whom are larger than us or have greater capitalization, have a dominant and secure position in other industries or certain significant markets, and offer other goods and services to consumers and merchants that we do not offer. If we are unable to change our products, offerings and services in ways that reflect the changing demands of ecommerce and mobile commerce marketplaces, particularly the higher growth of sales of fixed-price items and higher expected service levels (some of which depend on services provided by sellers on our platforms), or compete effectively with and adapt to changes in larger platform businesses, our business will suffer.

 

Competitors with other revenue sources may also be able to devote more resources to marketing and promotional campaigns, adopt more aggressive pricing policies and devote more resources to website, mobile platforms and applications and systems development than we can. Other competitors may offer or continue to offer faster and/or free shipping, delivery on Sunday, same-day delivery, favorable return policies or other transaction-related services which improve the user experience on their sites and which could be impractical or inefficient for our sellers to match. Competitors may be able to innovate faster and more efficiently, and new technologies may increase the competitive pressures by enabling competitors to offer more efficient or lower-cost services.

 

Some of our competitors control other products and services that are important to our success, including credit card interchange, Internet search, and mobile operating systems. Such competitors could manipulate pricing, availability, terms or operation of service related to their products and services in a manner that impacts our competitive offerings. For example, Google, which operates a shopping platform service, has from time to time made changes to its search algorithms that reduced the amount of search traffic directed to us from searches on Google. If we are unable to use or adapt to operational changes in such services, we may face higher costs for such services, face integration or technological barriers or lose customers, which could cause our business to suffer.

 

Consumers who might use our sites to buy goods have a wide variety of alternatives, including traditional department, warehouse, boutique, discount and general merchandise stores (as well as the online and mobile operations of these traditional retailers), online retailers and their related mobile offerings, online and offline classified services and other shopping channels, such as offline and online home shopping networks. In the United States, these include Amazon.com (which recently opened an experimental brick-and-mortar store in New York City and continues to expand into new geographies and lines of business), Google, Wal-Mart, Target, Sears, Macy’s, JC Penney, Costco, Office Depot, Staples, OfficeMax, Sam’s Club, Rakuten, Yahoo! Shopping, MSN, QVC and Home Shopping Network, among others. In addition, consumers have a large number of online and offline channels focused on one or more of the categories of products offered on our site.

Consumers also can turn to many companies that offer a variety of services that provide other channels for buyers to find and buy items from sellers of all sizes, including social media, online aggregation and classifieds platforms, such as craigslist, Oodle.com and a number of international websites operated by Schibsted ASA or Naspers Limited. Consumers also can turn to shopping-comparison sites, such as Google Shopping. In certain markets, our fixed-price listing and traditional auction-style listing formats increasingly are being challenged by other formats, such as classifieds.

 

Consumers and merchants who might use our sites to sell goods also have many alternatives, including general ecommerce sites, such as Amazon and Alibaba, and more specialized sites, such as Etsy. Our international sites also compete for sellers with general and specialized ecommerce sites. Sellers may also choose to sell their goods through other channels, such as classifieds platforms. Consumers and merchants also can create and sell through their own sites, and may choose to purchase online advertising instead of using our services. In some countries, there are online sites that have larger customer bases and greater brand recognition, as well as competitors that may have a better understanding of local culture and commerce. We increasingly may compete with local competitors in developing countries that have unique advantages, such as a greater ability to operate under local regulatory authorities.

 

Global and regional economic conditions could harm our business.

 

Our operations and performance depend significantly on global and regional economic conditions. Adverse economic conditions and events (including volatility or distress in the equity and/or debt or credit markets) have in the past negatively impacted regional and global financial markets and will likely continue to do so from time to time in the future. These events and conditions could have a negative and adverse impact on companies and customers with which we do business or cause us to write down our assets or investments. In addition, financial turmoil affecting the banking system or financial markets could cause additional consolidation of the financial services industry, or significant financial service institution failures, new or incremental tightening in the credit markets, low liquidity, and extreme volatility in fixed income, credit, currency, and equity markets. Adverse impacts to the companies and customers with which we do business, the banking system, or financial markets could have a material adverse effect on our business, including a reduction in the volume and prices of transactions on our commerce platforms.

 

Any factors that reduce cross-border trade or make such trade more difficult could harm our business.

 

Cross-border trade is an important source of products. Cross-border trade also represents our primary (or in some cases, only) presence in certain important markets, such as China, and various other countries. In addition, our cross-border trade is also subject to, and may be impacted by, foreign exchange rate fluctuations.

 

The interpretation and application of specific national or regional laws, such as those related to intellectual property rights of authentic products, selective distribution networks, and sellers in other countries listing items on the Internet, and the potential interpretation and application of laws of multiple jurisdictions (e.g., the jurisdiction of the buyer, the seller, and/or the location of the item being sold) are often extremely complicated in the context of cross-border trade. The interpretation and/or application of such laws could impose restrictions on, or increase the costs of, purchasing, selling, shipping, or returning goods across national borders.

  

The shipping of goods across national borders is often more expensive and complicated than domestic shipping. Customs and duty procedures and reviews, including duty-free thresholds in various key markets, the interaction of national postal systems, and security related governmental processes at international borders, may increase costs, discourage cross-border purchases, delay transit and create shipping uncertainties. Any factors that increase the costs of cross-border trade or restrict, delay, or make cross-border trade more difficult or impractical would lower our revenues and profits and could harm our business.

 

-8
 

 

Laws and regulations could harm our business.

 

It is not always clear how laws and regulations governing matters relevant to our business, such as property ownership, copyrights, trademarks, and other intellectual property issues, parallel imports and distribution controls, taxation, libel and defamation, and obscenity apply to our businesses. Many of these laws were adopted prior to the advent of the Internet, mobile, and related technologies and, as a result, do not contemplate or address the unique issues of the Internet and related technologies. Many of these laws, including some of those that do reference the Internet are subject to interpretation by the courts on an ongoing basis and the resulting uncertainty in the scope and application of these laws and regulations increases the risk that we will be subject to private claims and governmental actions alleging violations of those laws and regulations.

 

As our activities, the products and services we offer, and our geographical scope continue to expand, regulatory agencies or courts may claim or hold that we or our users are subject to additional requirements (including licensure) or prohibited from conducting our business in their jurisdiction, either generally or with respect to certain actions. Financial and political events have increased the level of regulatory scrutiny on large companies, and regulatory agencies may view matters or interpret laws and regulations differently than they have in the past and in a manner adverse to our businesses. Our success and increased visibility have driven some existing businesses that perceive us to be a threat to their businesses to raise concerns about our business models to policymakers and regulators. These businesses and their trade association groups employ significant resources in their efforts to shape the legal and regulatory regimes in countries where we have significant operations. They may employ these resources in an effort to change the legal and regulatory regimes in ways intended to reduce the effectiveness of our businesses and the ability of users to use our products and services. These established businesses have raised concerns relating to pricing, parallel imports, professional seller obligations, selective distribution networks, stolen goods, copyrights, trademarks and other intellectual property rights and the liability of the provider of an Internet marketplace for the conduct of its users related to those and other issues. Any changes to the legal or regulatory regimes in a manner that would increase our liability for third-party listings could negatively impact our business.

 

The volatility of our stock price could adversely affect an investment in our common stock

 

The market price of our common stock has been, and may continue to be, highly volatile. We believe that a variety of factors could cause the price of our common stock to fluctuate, perhaps substantially, including:

announcements and rumors of developments related to our business or the industry in which we compete,
quarterly fluctuations in our actual or anticipated operating results and order levels,
general conditions in the worldwide economy,
acquisition announcements,
new products or product enhancements by us or our competitors,
developments in patents or other intellectual property rights and litigation,
developments in our relationships with our customers and suppliers, and
any significant acts of terrorism.
     

 

In addition, in recent years the stock market in general and the markets for shares of “high-tech” companies in particular, have experienced extreme price fluctuations which have often been unrelated to the operating performance of affected companies. Any such fluctuations in the future could adversely affect the market price of our common stock, and the market price of our common stock may decline.

Our information systems or those of our outside vendors may be subject to disruption, delays or security incidents that could adversely impact our customers and operations

 

We rely on our information systems and those of third parties for things such as processing customer orders, delivery of products, providing services and support to our customers, billing and tracking our customers, hosting and managing customer data, and otherwise running our business. Any disruption in our information systems and those of the third parties upon whom we rely could have a significant impact on our business.

 

A security incident in our own systems or the systems of our third party providers may compromise the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of our own internal data, the availability of our products and websites designed to support our customers, or our customer data. Unauthorized access to our proprietary business information or customer data may be obtained through break-ins, breach of our secure network by an unauthorized party, employee theft or misuse, breach of the security of the networks of our third party providers, or other misconduct. It is also possible that unauthorized access to customer data may be obtained through inadequate use of security controls by customers. While our products and services provide and support strong password controls, IP restriction and other security mechanisms, the use of such mechanisms are controlled in many cases by our customers.

 

We may also experience delays or interruptions caused by a number of factors, including access to the internet, the failure of our network or software systems, or significant variability in visitor traffic on our product websites. It is also possible that hardware or software failures or errors in our systems, or in those of our third party providers, could result in data loss or corruption or cause the information that we collect to be incomplete or contain inaccuracies that our customers regard as significant. These failures and interruptions could harm our reputation and cause us to lose customers.

 

Our global operations expose us to risks and challenges associated with conducting business internationally, and our results of operations may be adversely affected by our efforts to comply with U.S. laws which apply to international operations, such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and US export control laws, as well as the laws of other countries.

 

We operate on a global basis with offices or activities in Asia, the Middle East, and North America. We face several risks inherent in conducting business internationally, including compliance with international and U.S. laws and regulations that apply to our international operations. These laws and regulations include data privacy requirements, labor relations laws, tax laws, anti-competition regulations, import and trade restrictions, export control laws, U.S. laws such as export control laws and the FCPA, and similar laws in other countries which also prohibit corrupt payments to governmental officials or certain payments or remunerations to customers. Many of our products are subject to U.S. export law restrictions that limit the destinations and types of customers to which our products may be sold, or require an export license in connection with sales outside the United States. Given the high level of complexity of these laws, there is a risk that some provisions may be inadvertently breached, for example through fraudulent or negligent behavior of individual employees, our failure to comply with certain formal documentation requirements or otherwise. Also, we may be held liable for actions taken by our local partners. Violations of these laws and regulations could result in fines, criminal sanctions against us, our officers or our employees, and prohibitions on the conduct of our business. Any such violations could include prohibitions on our ability to offer our products in one or more countries and could materially damage our reputation, our brand, our international expansion efforts, our ability to attract and retain employees, our business and our operating results.

 

In addition, we operate in many parts of the world that have experienced significant governmental corruption to some degree and, in certain circumstances, strict compliance with anti-bribery laws may conflict with local customs and practices. We may be subject to competitive disadvantages to the extent that our competitors are able to secure business, licenses or other preferential treatment by making payments to government officials and others in positions of influence or through other methods that U.S. law and regulations prohibit us from using. Our success depends, in part, on our ability to anticipate these risks and manage these difficulties.

-10
 

 

In addition to the foregoing, engaging in international business inherently involves a number of other difficulties and risks, including:

longer payment cycles and difficulties in enforcing agreements and collecting receivables through certain foreign legal systems,
political and economic instability,
potentially adverse tax consequences, tariffs, customs charges, bureaucratic requirements and other trade barriers,
difficulties and costs of staffing and managing foreign operations,
difficulties protecting or procuring intellectual property rights, and
fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.

 

These factors or any combination of these factors may adversely affect our revenue or our overall financial performance.

 

Unfavorable general economic conditions in the United States could negatively impact our financial performance.

Unfavorable general economic conditions, such as a recession or economic slowdown, in the United States could negatively affect the affordability of, and consumer demand for, our product in the United States. Under difficult economic conditions, consumers may seek to reduce discretionary spending by forgoing purchases of our products or by shifting away from our beverages to lower-priced products offered by other companies. Consumers may also cease purchasing bottled water and consume tap water. Lower consumer demand for our product in the United States could reduce our profitability.

Adverse weather conditions could reduce the demand for our products.

The sales of our products are influenced to some extent by weather conditions in the markets in which we operate. Unusually cold or rainy weather during the summer months may have a temporary effect on the demand for our product and contribute to lower sales, which could have an adverse effect on our results of operations for such periods.

Changes in, or failure to comply with, the laws and regulations applicable to our products or our business operations could increase our costs or reduce our net operating revenues.

The advertising, distribution, labeling, production, safety, sale, and transportation in the United States of our product will be subject to: the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act; the Federal Trade Commission Act; the Lanham Act; state consumer protection laws; competition laws; federal, state, and local workplace health and safety laws, such as the Occupational Safety and Health Act; various federal, state and local environmental protection laws; and various other federal, state, and local statutes and regulations. Legal requirements also apply in many jurisdictions in the United States requiring that deposits or certain ecotaxes or fees be charged for the sale, marketing, and use of certain non-refillable beverage containers. The precise requirements imposed by these measures vary. Other types of statutes and regulations relating to beverage container deposits, recycling, ecotaxes and/or product stewardship also apply in various jurisdictions in the United States. We anticipate that additional, similar legal requirements may be proposed or enacted in the future at the local, state and federal levels in the United States. Changes to such laws and regulations could increase our costs or reduce our net operating revenues.

In addition, failure to comply with environmental, health or safety requirements and other applicable laws or regulations could result in the assessment of damages, the imposition of penalties, suspension of production, changes to equipment or processes, or a cessation of operations at our or our bottlers’ facilities, as well as damage to our image and reputation, all of which could harm our profitability.

Risks Related to Our Stock

 

Because our common stock is considered a "penny stock" any investment in our common stock is considered to be a high-risk investment and is subject to restrictions on marketability.

 

Our common stock is currently traded on the OTC Markets and OTC Bulletin Board and is considered a "penny stock." The OTC Markets and OTC Bulletin Board are generally regarded as a less efficient trading market than the NASDAQ Capital Market.

 

The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in "penny stocks." Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system). The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, which specifies information about penny stocks and the nature and significance of risks of the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and any salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements indicating the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. In addition, the penny stock rules require that, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our common stock.

 

Since our common stock is subject to the regulations applicable to penny stocks, the market liquidity for our common stock could be adversely affected because the regulations on penny stocks could limit the ability of broker-dealers to sell our common stock and thus your ability to sell our common stock in the secondary market.  There is no assurance our common stock will be quoted on NASDAQ or the NYSE or listed on any exchange, even if eligible.

 

We have additional securities available for issuance, including preferred stock, which if issued could adversely affect the rights of the holders of our common stock.

 

Our articles of incorporation authorize the issuance of 500,000,000 shares of common stock and 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock.  The common stock and the preferred stock can be issued by, and the terms of the preferred stock, including dividend rights, voting rights, liquidation preference and conversion rights can generally be determined by, our board of directors without stockholder approval. Any issuance of preferred stock could adversely affect the rights of the holders of common stock by, among other things, establishing preferential dividends, liquidation rights or voting powers. Accordingly, our stockholders will be dependent upon the judgment of our management in connection with the future issuance and sale of shares of our common stock and preferred stock, in the event that buyers can be found therefore. Any future issuances of common stock or preferred stock would further dilute the percentage ownership of our Company held by the public stockholders.

 

We cannot assure you that our common stock will be listed on NASDAQ or any other securities exchange.

 

We may seek the listing of our common stock on NASDAQ or the American Stock Exchange. However, we cannot assure you that following such a transaction, we will be able to meet the initial listing standards of either of those or any other stock exchange, or that we will be able to maintain a listing of our common stock on either of those or any other stock exchange. Until our common stock is listed on the NASDAQ or another stock exchange, we expect that our common stock would be eligible to trade on the OTC Bulletin Board, another over-the-counter quotation system, or on the “pink sheets,” where our stockholders may find it more difficult to dispose of shares or obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of our common stock. In addition, we would be subject to an SEC rule that, if it failed to meet the criteria set forth in such rule, imposes various practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell securities governed by the rule to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. Consequently, such rule may deter broker-dealers from recommending or selling our common stock, which may further affect its liquidity.

-12
 

 

 

Authorization of preferred stock.

 

Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock with designations, rights and preferences determined from time to time by its Board of Directors. Accordingly, our Board of Directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting, or other rights which could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of the common stock. In the event of issuance, the preferred stock could be utilized, under certain circumstances, as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company. Although we have no present intention to issue any shares of its authorized preferred stock, there can be no assurance that the Company will not do so in the future.   

 

We are an emerging growth company within the meaning of the Securities Act, and as a consequence of taking advantage of certain exemptions from reporting requirements that are available to emerging growth companies, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.

We are an emerging growth company as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Securities Act. Pursuant to Section 107 of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, we may take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards, meaning that we can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have chosen to take advantage of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies to delay adoption of such standards until such standards are made applicable to private companies. Accordingly, our financial statements may not be comparable to the financial statements of public companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.

ITEM 7 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

This discussion summarizes the significant factors affecting the operating results, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows of the Company and its subsidiaries for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2016 and 2015. The discussion and analysis that follows should be read together with the section entitled “Forward Looking Statements” and our financial statements and the notes to the financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report on Form 10-K.

 

Except for historical information, the matters discussed in this section are forward looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties and are based upon judgments concerning various factors that are beyond the Company’s control. Consequently, and because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, the actual results and outcomes may differ materially from the results and outcomes discussed in the forward-looking statements. You are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in this report.

 

Overview

 

Smartag International, Inc. plans to focus on leveraging existing established players in the e-Commerce business overseas to bring their expertise to North America and add value with traceability to increase the overall efficiency and reduce logistics costs. Our tracking supply chain and logistics system are in currently in place. Our next focus is to increase the volume of e-Commerce transactions.

 

In November 2015, Smartag signed an agreement with Bobby Tang Siu Ki and Yang Ye Cai, the co-owners and founders of Shenzhen Shen Nan Shun Technology Co. Ltd (“SSNST”), a company based in Shenzhen, China which is involved in e-commerce trading on e-Bay, Amazon and Alipay platforms. SSNST has been in the business of e-Commerce for the past 5 years and have consistently been one of the top suppliers of a range of products including electronic items and toys on eBay and Amazon. As a result of this agreement, Smartag will be able to use its inherent technology and logistics presence in the United States to offer additional products such as LED lighting, outdoor sports equipment, beauty products and cosmetics, vehicles accessories and bicycles on the well establish e-Commerce platforms. The agreement with HongKong Vander Trade Limited, also controlled by Bobby Tang Siu Ki and Yang Ye Cai, shall enable Smartag to enter into the e-Commerce business which eventually shall combine the usage of its own track & trace solutions to increase efficiency of the supply chain for online purchases whilst at the same time enable SSNST to further increase its range of products.

 

Results of Operations

 

Comparison of the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016 to the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015

 

Revenues

For the years ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company recorded revenue of $69,400 and $95,766, respectively. The decrease was due to the commencement of operations in selling beverage bottles in 2015 offset by the increase in our collection and processing agent services related to Vander’s sales in 2016. The sales were reported as net revenue which was 5% of the total revenue of payments processed.

 

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales was $0 and $39,534 for the years ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Cost of Sales in 2016 was zero as we accounted for revenue on a net basis.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $327,867 and $1,227,605 for the years ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The decrease of $899,738 was due primarily to an decrease in stock based compensation of $483,000, consulting fees of $154,345, and expenses in starting beverage operations of $399,709 in 2015, offset by the bad debt expense of $245,065 in 2016.

Interest income/(expense) and other, net

We recorded other expense of $73,078 for the year ended September 30, 2016. $73,078 was related to the sale of EBC. We recorded other expense of $46,650 for the year ended September 30, 2015.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The following is a summary of the Company's cash flows provided by (used in) operating, investing, and financing activities for the years ended September 30, 2016 and 2015:

 

   Years Ended September 30,
   2016  2015
Operating Activities  $(82,559)  $(484,135)
Investing Activities   49,714    (215,877)
Financing Activities   5,000    710,000 
Net Effect on Cash  $(27,845)  $9,988 

 

 

In the current year ending September 30, 2016, the Company incurred net loss of $(369,105), a gain on disposition of EBC of $49,714, offset by a reduction in debt of 50,000 and received proceeds from related parties of $55,000 to cover its operational losses.

 

In the current year ending September 30, 2015, the Company incurred a net loss of $1,171,373 offset by stock compensation of $483,000, an increase in accounts payable of $187,201 and received proceeds from related parties of $810,000 to cover its operational losses.

 

Going Concern Uncertainties

 

As of the date of this annual report, there is doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern as we have not generated sufficient cash flow to fund our business operations and loan commitments.  Our future success and viability, therefore, are dependent upon our ability to generate capital financing.  The failure to generate sufficient revenues or raise additional capital may have a material and adverse effect upon the Company and our shareholders.

 

Commitments and Contractual Obligations

 

During the year ended September 30, 2015, the Company received $810,000 advances from related parties. $730,000 was from a related entity to a former director and $80,000 was received from Chee Song Yap, a Director of the Company. The two parties entered into 0% interest notes which are to be repaid by September 30, 2017.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources and would be considered material to investors.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

Refer to the notes to the financial statements for a complete description of recent accounting standards which we have not yet been required to implement and may be applicable to our operation, as well as those significant accounting standards that have been adopted during the current year.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our financial statements were prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. As such, management is required to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that they believe are reasonable based upon the information available.  These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the periods presented. The significant accounting policies which management believes are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results include the following:

 

Revenue Recognition -

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. ASC 605 requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery of product has met the criteria established in the arrangement or services rendered; (3) the fee is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. This occurs when the products or services are completed in accordance with the contracts we have with clients. In connection with our products and services arrangements, when we are paid in advance, these amounts are classified as deferred revenue and amortized over the term of the agreement.  The Company currently receives its revenue as a collections and processing agent for Vander, a related party. The Company evaluates the Emerging Issue Task Force (EITF) number 99-19, "Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal Versus Net as an Agent,” which sets forth a number of guidelines for the correct treatment of revenue. We currently treat revenue on a net basis. This may change in the future if circumstances change.

 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

  

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors

Smartag International, Inc.

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Smartag International, Inc. (the “Company”) as of September 30, 2016 and 2015 and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years ended September 30, 2016 and 2015. 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 audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatements. 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, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Smartag International, Inc. as of September 30, 2016 and 2015 and the results of its operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and is dependent upon the continued sale of its securities, or obtaining debt financing for funds to meet its cash requirements. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Smartag International, Inc.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2016 AND 2015

 

 

NOTE 1    Nature of business

 

Current Operations and Background

 

Smartag International, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Smartag,” “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), was formed as Theca Corporation on March 24, 1999 in Colorado.  The Company is in the development stage as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 7. On November 29, 2004, we merged with Art4Love, Inc., a Delaware corporation, into Art4Love, Inc. a Nevada corporation.   On February 10, 2009, Art4Love changed its name to Smartag International, Inc.

 

In July 2015, Smartag entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Essential Beverage Corporation (“EBC”), a Nevada corporation, pursuant to which the Company purchased a 51% interest in EBC for a total consideration of $399,709 and one million shares of the Company’s restricted common stock valued at $23,000. On March 31, 2016, the Company disposed of its interest in EBC to Lock Sen Yow, the Company’s chairman and director, for $50,000. 

 

In November 2015, Smartag signed an agreement with Bobby Tang Siu Ki and Yang Ye Cai, the co-owners and founders of Shenzhen Shen Nan Shun Technology Co. Ltd (“SSNST”), a company based in Shenzhen, China which is involved in e-commerce trading on e-Bay, Amazon and Alipay platforms. Using the expertise of SSNST, Smartag will develop the business of e-Commerce trading, procurement, collection and distribution through a new joint venture company in Hong Kong called HongKong Vander Trade Limited (“Vander”).

 

On January 1, 2016, the Company entered into a revenue sharing agreement with Vander. The Company charged 5% commission as a collection and processing agent for some of Vander’s Ecommerce platform sales. Mr. Ki and Mr. Cai has a 30.64% ownership in the Company.

 

On January 29, 2016, Mr. Ki and Mr. Cai purchased 10,000,000 common shares directly from Smartag Solutions Bhd, the former parent company of Smartag which equals 31.6% of ownership of the Company. Therefore, the commission is classified as related party revenue in statement of operations. Management has concluded that these entities should not be consolidated under ASC 810 Consolidations because the Company is not the primary beneficiary of Vander and SSNST.

 

NOTE 2 – Basis of Presentation and Significant of Accounting Policies

 

Basis  of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation — The financial statements  have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and include the accounts of Smartag International, Inc.

 

Going Concern - The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles which contemplate continuation of the company as a going concern. However, we have an accumulated deficit of $3,141,295 as of September 30, 2016. Our total liabilities exceeded its total assets as of September 30, 2016. In view of the matters described above, recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon our continued operations, which in turn is dependent upon our ability to raise additional capital, and obtain financing. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

-25
 

 

Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents — The Company considers investments with original maturities of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Revenue Recognition - The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. ASC 605 requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery of product has met the criteria established in the arrangement or services rendered; (3) the fee is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. This occurs when the products or services are completed in accordance with the contracts we have with clients. In connection with our products and services arrangements, when we are paid in advance, these amounts are classified as deferred revenue and amortized over the term of the agreement.  The Company currently receives its revenue from commissions on selling products for Vander, a related party. The Company evaluates the Emerging Issue Task Force (EITF) number 99-19, "Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal Versus Net as an Agent,” which sets forth a number of guidelines for the correct treatment of revenue. We currently treat the related party revenue on a net basis.

 

Income Taxes — The Company records income taxes in accordance with the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740, “Income Taxes.”  The standard requires, among other provisions, an asset and liability approach to recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax basis of assets and liabilities.  Valuation allowances are provided if based upon the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

Goodwill— The Company periodically reviews the carrying value of intangible assets not subject to amortization, including goodwill, to determine whether impairment may exist. Goodwill and certain intangible assets are assessed annually, or when certain triggering events occur, for impairment using fair value measurement techniques. These events could include a significant change in the business climate, legal factors, a decline in operating performance, competition, sale or disposition of a significant portion of the business, or other factors. Specifically, goodwill impairment is determined using a two-step process. The first step of the goodwill impairment test is used to identify potential impairment by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. The Company uses level 3 inputs and a discounted cash flow methodology to estimate the fair value of a reporting unit. A discounted cash flow analysis requires one to make various judgmental assumptions including assumptions about future cash flows, growth rates, and discount rates. The assumptions about future cash flows and growth rates are based on the Company’s budget and long-term plans. Discount rate assumptions are based on an assessment of the risk inherent in the respective reporting units. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is considered not impaired and the second step of the impairment test is unnecessary. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the goodwill impairment test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. The second step of the goodwill impairment test compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in the same manner as the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination. That is, the fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to all of the assets and liabilities of that unit (including any unrecognized intangible assets) as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination and the fair value of the reporting unit was the purchase price paid to acquire the reporting unit.

 

-26
 

 

Stock-Based Compensation — The Company records transactions under share based payment arrangements in accordance with the provisions of the FASB ASC Topic 718, “Share Based Payment Arrangements”.  The standard requires recognition of the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments in the financial statements over the period the employee is required to perform the services in exchange for the award. The standard also requires measurement of the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award. The Company is using the modified prospective method allowed under this standard. Accordingly, upon adoption, prior period amounts have not been restated. Under this application, the Company recorded the cumulative effect of compensation expense for the unvested portion of previously granted awards that remain outstanding at the date of adoption and recorded compensation expense for all awards granted after the date of adoption.

 

The standard provides that income tax effects of share-based payments are recognized in the financial statements for those awards that will normally result in tax deduction under existing law. Under current U.S. federal tax law, the Company would receive a compensation expense deduction related to non-qualified stock options only when those options are exercised and vested shares are received. Accordingly, the financial statement recognition of compensation cost for non-qualified stock options creates a deductible temporary difference which results in a deferred tax asset and a corresponding deferred tax benefit in the income statement. The Company does not recognize a tax benefit for compensation expense related to incentive stock options unless the underlying shares are disposed in a disqualifying disposition.

 

Net Loss Per Share — The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share,” Under the provisions of the standard, basic and diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.  Common equivalent shares related to stock options and warrants have been excluded from the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share because their effect is anti-dilutive.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk — Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist of cash.  The Company maintains its cash with high credit quality financial institutions; at times, such balances with any one financial institution may exceed FDIC insured limits.

 

Financial Instruments — Our financial instruments consist of cash, accounts payable, and notes payable.  The carrying values of cash, accounts payable, and notes payable are representative of their fair values due to their short-term maturities.  

 

Marketable Securities— The Company classifies its marketable equity securities as available-for-sale and carries them at fair market value, with the unrealized gains and losses included in the determination of comprehensive income and reported in stockholders’ equity. Losses that the Company believes are other-than-temporary are realized in the period that the determination is made.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements  

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) amending revenue recognition guidance and requiring more detailed disclosures to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. In August 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date of the revenue recognition guidance to reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. We are continuing to evaluate our method of adoption and the impact this ASU, and related amendments and interpretations, will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In July 2015, the FASB issued an ASU modifying the accounting for inventory. Under this ASU, the measurement principle for inventory will change from lower of cost or market value to lower of cost and net realizable value. The ASU defines net realizable value as the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The ASU is applicable to inventory that is accounted for under the first-in, first-out method and is effective for reporting periods after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect adoption to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

-27
 

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements— Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern”. Continuation of a reporting entity as a going concern is presumed as the basis for preparing financial statements unless and until the entity’s liquidation becomes imminent. Preparation of financial statements under this presumption is commonly referred to as the going concern basis of accounting. Currently, there is no guidance under U.S. GAAP about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern or to provide related footnote disclosures. The amendments in this Update provide that guidance. In doing so, the amendments should reduce diversity in the timing and content of footnote disclosures. The amendments require management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are currently in U.S. auditing standards. Specifically, the amendments (1) provide a definition of the term substantial doubt, (2) require an evaluation every reporting period including interim periods, (3) provide principles for considering the mitigating effect of management’s plans, (4) require certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans, (5) require an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated, and (6) require an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). For the period ended December 31, 2015, management evaluated the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and concluded that substantial doubt has not been alleviated about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. While the Company continues to explore further significant sources of financing, management’s assessment was based on the uncertainty related to the amount and nature of such financing over the next twelve months. The ASU is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact of ASU No. 2014-15 on its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2015, the FASB issued an ASU amending the accounting for income taxes and requiring all deferred tax assets and liabilities to be classified as non-current on the consolidated balance sheet. The ASU is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The ASU may be adopted either prospectively or retrospectively. We are currently evaluating the method of adoption and expect this ASU will have an impact on our consolidated balance.

In January 2016, the FASB issued a new standard to amend certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. Most prominent among the amendments is the requirement for changes in the fair value of our equity investments, with certain exceptions, to be recognized through net income rather than other comprehensive income (“OCI”). The new standard will be effective for us beginning July 1, 2018. The application of the amendments will result in a cumulative-effect adjustment to our consolidated balance sheets as of the effective date. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued a new standard related to leases to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet. Most prominent among the amendments is the recognition of assets and liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous U.S. GAAP. Under the new standard, disclosures are required to meet the objective of enabling users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. We will be required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The new standard will be effective for us beginning July 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which supersedes the existing guidance for lease accounting, Leases (Topic 840). ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize leases on their balance sheets, and leaves lessor accounting largely unchanged. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted for all entities. ASU 2016-02 requires a modified retrospective approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to elect to use certain transition relief. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued a new standard to replace the incurred loss impairment methodology in current U.S. GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. For trade and other receivables, loans, and other financial instruments, we will be required to use a forward-looking expected loss model rather than the incurred loss model for recognizing credit losses which reflects losses that are probable. Credit losses relating to available-for-sale debt securities will also be recorded through an allowance for credit losses rather than as a reduction in the amortized cost basis of the securities. The new standard will be effective for us beginning July 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted beginning July 1, 2019. Application of the amendments is through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the effective date. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements. 

NOTE 3 – Discontinued Operations and Business Combinations

During the year ended September 30, 2015, the Company advanced Legendary Liquids LLC, a related party and predecessor of EBC, $96,500 which is being classified as other receivable. The amount due is unsecured and interest free. The purpose of the investment was to partner with beverage company to provide product tracking. During the quarter ended March 31, 2015, the Company entered into a partnership agreement with Essentials Beverage Company (“Essentials”) whereby the Company agreed to contribute Essentials operational funds in exchange for 65% of the revenues generated by Essentials. As of June 30, 2015, the Company had funded Essentials $253,237 and had accounts receivables owed from Essentials amounted to $49,972.

On July 5, 2015, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement with EBC, pursuant to which the Company purchased a 51% interest in EBC for a total previous consideration due from EBC of $399,709 and one million shares of the Company’s restricted common stock valued at $23,000. At the time of the transaction, the Company deemed the previous consideration of $360,975 as not collectible.  The Company recorded goodwill associated with the transaction of $260,975.

The Company has estimated that the fair value of the assets at the date of the purchase in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 805, “Business Combinations”, as follows:

 

Assets  $4,958 
Intangible assets   —   
Goodwill   260,975 
fair value of liabilities assumed   (266,835)
Non-controlling interest   (22,098)
Purchase price  $23,000 

 

Due to the continued cash needs of EBC, the Company sold its 51% controlling interest to Lock Sen Yow, the Company’s chairman and director, a related party for $50,000. The Company received payment on April 8, 2016. Based on the requirements of ASC 810 Consolidation, the Company will no longer present assets and liabilities retained as of the date of deconsolidation. To accomplish this, the results of EBC’s operations are reported in discontinued operations in accordance with ASC 205 Presentation of Financial Statements. The gain on disposal of EBC’s interest of $189,711 is treated as a capital transaction in statement of stockholders’ equity as it was a related party transaction.

-29
 

 

Summarized operating results for the discontinuation of operations is as follows: 

Fair value of consideration  $50,000 
Carrying value of non-controlling interest   (22,722)
    (27,278)
Less: carrying value of former subsidiary's net assets   (162,433)
Gain on disposal of EBC's interest  $189,711 
Loss from discontinued operation from October 1, 2015 to March 31, 2016  $(73,078)

 

The Company analyzed the carrying value of EBC’s net assets on the deconsolidation date, determined amount is $(423,409) including the following,

 

Cash  $286 
Inventory   9,834 
Goodwill   260,975 
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities   (48,631)
Accrued liability   (105,000)
Accrued liability – related party   (34,833)
Due to Smartag   (245,065)
Carrying value of former subsidiary's net assets  $(162,433)

 

The Company anticipates that it will have no involvement with the management of EBC and that EBC will not be a related party going forward after the deconsolidation. The Company does not expect the $245,065 to be paid back and recorded an allowance against the receivable as of September 30, 2016.

Major line items constituting net loss of the discontinued operations of EBC are as follows for the periods from October 1, 2015 through March 31, 2016 (deconsolidation):

Revenues  $23,606 
Cost of sales   10,027 
Gross profit   13,579 
Selling , general and administrative expenses   86,657 
Loss from discontinued operation from October 1, 2015 to March 31, 2016  $(73,078)

NOTE 4 –Related Party 

During the year ended September 30, 2015, the Company received $810,000 advances from related. $730,000 was from a related entity to a former director and $80,000 was received from Chee Song Yap, the Director of the Company. The two parties entered into 0% interest notes which are to be repaid by September 30, 2017.

During the year ended September 30, 2016, the Company is $3,900 owed from SSNST, a related party, which was a temporary overpayment and expected to be repaid as soon as practical. Additionally, the Company received $75,000 from Lock Sen Yow under a 0% interest notes which are to be repaid by September 30, 2017.

 

Secured Note

On March 17, 2009, we entered into a Secured Revolving Promissory Note (the “Secured Note”) with Smartag Solutions Bhd, a Malaysian corporation, the majority stockholder of the Company.  Under the terms of the Note, Smartag Solutions Bhd, agreed to advance to the Company, from time to time and at the request of the Company, amounts up to an aggregate of $200,000 until September 30, 2014.  All advances shall be paid on or before September 30, 2017 and this advance has an interest rate of 0% per annum. On August 19, 2016, Smartag Solutions Bhd transferred the balance of the Secured Note to Lock Sen Yow as severance employment package from Smartag Solutions Bhd.. As of September 30, 2016, the balance was $192,457.  

 

Loan Agreement

On September 19, 2013, we entered into a Loan Agreement (“Loan Agreement”) with SSB. Under the terms of the agreement, SSB loaned the Company $200,000 (“Loan”). On August 15, 2014, the SSB increased the Loan to $300,000. The Loan shall be repaid on or before September 30, 2017 and this loan has an interest rate of 0% interest per annum. During the nine months ended June 30, 2015, the Company repaid $100,000 of the Loan. During the year ended September 30, 2016, the Company repaid $50,000 of the Loan. On August 19, 2016, Smartag Solutions Bhd transferred the balance of the Loan to Lock Sen Yow.

We recorded imputed interest of $37,560 for the year ended September 30, 2016 from all the aforementioned related party debt.

NOTE 5 – Income Taxes

 

We have incurred operating losses of $3,141,295, which, if not utilized, will begin to expire in 2019. Future tax benefits, which may arise as a result of these losses, have not been recognized in these financial statements, and have been offset by a valuation allowance. There are additional limitations due to our change in control. Therefore, we believe we will be unable to utilize these loss carryforwards.

 

The effective income tax rate for the years ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 consisted of the following:

 

   September 30,
   2016  2015
Federal statutory income tax rate   34.00%   34.00%
State income taxes   0%   0%
Change in valuation allowance   (34.00)%   (34.00)%
Net effective income tax rate   —      —   

 

Current year added tax asset from net loss for the years ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 are as follows:

 
   September 30,
   2016  2015
Net operating loss  $(2,658,295)  $(2,289,190)
Statutory tax rate (combined federal and state)   34%   34%
Non-capital tax (income) loss   (903,820)   (778,325)
Valuation allowance   903,820    778,325 
   $—     $—   

 

-31
 

 

The potential future tax benefits of these losses have not been recognized in these financial statements due to uncertainty of their realization. When the future utilization of some portion of the carryforwards is determined not to be “more likely than not,” a valuation allowance is provided to reduce the recorded tax benefits from such assets.

 

The Company annually conducts an analysis of its tax positions and has concluded that it has no uncertain tax positions as of September 30, 2016.

 

NOTE 6 – Stockholder’s Deficit

 

As of September 30, 2016, there were authorized 500,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share and 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share.  Each common share entitles the holder to one vote, in person or proxy, on any matter on which action of the stockholder of the corporation is sought.

 

On July 5, 2015, the Company authorized the issuance of 1,000,000 shares to EBC in partial consideration of 51% of EBC. The Company placed a value of $23,000 for these shares. These shares have not yet been issued.

 

On August 19, 2015, the Company issued 13,500,000 shares of restricted common stock to its director, Chee Song Yap, and recorded stock compensation expense of $310,500. Additionally, on August 19, 2015, the Company issued 7,500,000 shares of restricted common stock to unrelated parties for services and recorded stock compensation expense of $172,500.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

 

There are not and have not been any disagreements between the Company and its accountants on any matter of accounting principles, practices or financial statement disclosure.

 

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures: We conducted an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. The term "disclosure controls and procedures", as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act"), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC`s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures also include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded as of September 30, 2016, that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at a reasonable assurance level and are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the controls and procedures will meet their objectives. However, it should be noted that the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.

 

Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting: Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  The internal controls for the Company are provided by executive management's review and approval of all transactions.  Our internal control over financial reporting also includes those policies and procedures that:

 

(1) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;
   
(2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with the authorization of our management; and
   
(3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

-33
 

 

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2016. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Management's assessment included an evaluation of the design of our internal control over financial reporting and testing of the operational effectiveness of these controls.

 

Based on this assessment, management has concluded that as of September 30, 2016, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

 

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

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

ITEM 9B OTHER INFORMATION

PART III

 

ITEM 10 DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

 

Set forth below are the present directors and executive officers of the Company.
