PART I
 
ITEM 1. BUSINESS.

 

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

OUR BACKGROUND. The Company was incorporated in Texas on October 1, 2002 and in 2005 changed its business focus to advertising and media in the emerging China market. Under the then new management, the Company commenced to position the Company to capitalize on the growth of the Chinese advertising market where global companies are rushing into China to try to grab and hold the attention of its 1.3 billion citizens.

 

Our mission then was to become one of China's new age media companies through the use of new technologies and devices combined with traditional media of TV, Newspapers, Magazines, Billboards and Internet to reach today's mobile society. In order to facilitate this, the Company established 3 strategic business units being "Advertising", "Telecommunications and Mobile Computing", and "Products and Services". However due to limited financial resources we were not able to implement our business plans in the China media sector.

 

In June 2012, the Group acquired A-Team Resources Sdn. Bhd. a company that distributes light appliances products in South East Asia and Middle East to strengthen our Products and Services Business Unit. In January 2014 the Company disposed the loss making light appliances and advertising operation to streamline the operation and to focus on its new acquisition on telecom services business unit.

 

On January 31, 2014 the Company acquired 63.2% in Clixster Mobile Sdn Bhd (“CMSB”), a mobile virtual network operator (“MVNO”) in order to expand our telecommunication business unit with a focus on provision of mobile telecom service through a MVNO platform initially in Malaysia and then to other regions.

 

The operation in CMSB incurred significant losses in 2014 and in 2015. The Group determined to re-focus the operation in the higher margin post-paid rather than pre-paid telecom services. As a result, on July 28, 2015, the Group disposed of its investment in CMSB to refocus its MVNO business from pre-paid to post-paid telecom services and a digital service provider.

 

In September, 2015, New China Electronics Limited, a company wholly owned by our director, Mr. Ching Chiat Kwong, acquired a total of 7,130,134,431 shares representing about 63.06% interests in the Company to become the controlling shareholder of the Company. On January 8, 2016, New China then transferred 350,000,000 shares each to Andrew Hwan Lee and Ahmad Shukri Bin Abdul Ghani, both directors of the Company. New China then held 6,430,134,431 shares representing 56.87% in the Company.

 

On September 27, 2015 the Board approved the change of company name from Clixster Mobile Group Inc. to Median Group Inc. and the name change was effected on October 7, 2015.

 

In December 2015, the Company acquired 51% interests in Naim Indah Mobile Communications Sdn Bhd (“NIMC”). NIMC is a newly established MVNO holding all the necessary licenses to operate as an MNVO. Currently, we are in advance discussion with a Malaysian telecom operator to roll out our MVNO services. It is planned that the roll out will commence in July 2017.

 

While NIMC’s negotiation with the telecom operator is still ongoing, the Company had on December 2, 2016 disposed its equity interest in NIMC to focus on the development of its integrated Digital Services Platform.

 

In its new strategic plan, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Grid Mobile Sdn. Bhd. (“GMSB) shall combine the telecommunication services together with its other financial technology (fintech) services onto an integrated Digital Services Platform which is currently at ongoing development stage.

 

In October 2016, the Company raised $1,320,000 by issuing 120,000,000 shares at $0.011 per share. The money raised was to be used for working capital.

 

On November 30, 2016, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary GMSB signed a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with Mobisphere Sdn Bhd (“Mobisphere”). The Memorandum entails the collaboration of both parties to introduce and promote financial technology (“fintech”) solutions vis-a-vis an integrated mobile payment ecosystem equipped with virtual account and digital wallet connected to membership, debit, prepaid and/or credit cards to Grid Mobile members.

 

At the date of this report, the Group will continue to pursue its Telecommunications and Digital Services as a unit to achieve a seamless customer experience. The Group will terminate and streamline its adverting business unit and product services unit until a viable business opportunity is available.

 

OUR BUSINESS REVIEW AND FUTURE STRATEGY. The Group has 3 business units namely “Advertising”, “Products and Services” and “Telecommunication and Mobile Computing”. The management has determined to only focus our business in the Telecommunications and Digital Services business unit going forward, and have the Advertising and Products and Services business units inactive until viable business opportunities are presented.

2015 Products & Services Overview

 

Telecommunications Unit.

 

In 2006, the Company announced the establishment of the Telecommunications and Mobile Computing Division to focus on the new media advertising where we would take advantage of new convergent devices for telecommunications advertising. We have seen over the years the importance of advertising through social media using telecommunication services.

 

In 2016, this was another year of preparation and restructuring of our operations and raising the necessary capital to conduct our business. We were successfully in raising $1,320,000 in October 2016 for our working capital. In December 2016, we signed a Master Distribution Agreement with our then 51% subsidiary, Naim Indah Mobile Communications Sdn. Bhd. (“NIMC”) for us to sell telecom services on NIMC’s MVNO telecom platform. As a result of the Master Distribution Agreement, we determined to concentrate on the provision of services rather than the running of the MVNO Platform itself, and in December 2016 we sold NIMC to a company owned by two of our directors. In 2016, we derived $43,495 in telecom services. We will continue to pursue the sale of telecom services and concentrate on postpaid customers, where the margins are higher, through our partner networks.  

 

PROSPECTS. Through a long and rigorous effort, the Company has successfully consolidate and streamline our business and build a strong foundation to set the stage for an exciting future. This coming year is a significant year for us. After the successful restructuring of the Company, a new entity with a new set of business focus has emerged, where there will be a great emphasis on mobile digital business.

 

MGI shall focus on the business of providing mobile digital service on the MVNO platform across South East Asian countries. NIMC is poised to be the first MVNO that specifically catered for these markets, operating as a digital service provider (DSP). A digital service provider applies the principles of Internet service delivery, meaning its delivery architecture is integrated, seamless, intelligent, automated, simple and in real time.

 

Towards Becoming A Digital Service Provider

 

The decision to become a DSP rests solely on providing the needs of a new generation of consumers. There has been a great shift in consumers’ behaviors. The way purchases are made, the types of media consumed, the way information are obtained and the way trust and relationships are built. These have created new rules of consumer engagement where mobile platform is highly utilized, allowing consumers to communicate, transact and gain almost instantaneous feedback and response. E-commerce now is evolving into M-Commerce (mobile-commerce) and into S-Commerce (social-commerce) allowing customers to instantly transact and share.

 

We must seize the opportunity to build our business model around this market segment through our offerings with three main differentiators:

 

(i) An advanced set of products and services that will disrupt the market landscape;

 

(ii) A customer engagement model that is currently not offered by others; and

 

(iii) A technology superiority and scalability that will support future growth.

 

The first challenge to become a digital service provider involves a change in the mindset and culture; we need to view ourselves not as a communication service provider but as a genuine digital competitor. We need to shift away from serving as a channel and toward creating a platform, and the way for us to capitalize on the opportunities in the digital services domain and its associated revenue is to build our business as a digital service provider. Our journey towards becoming a DSP has progressed well over the past 3 months where we are building a solid eco-system that will enable us to offer attractive and disruptive services to the market.

Key Business Focus: Digital Service Provider

 

While MVNO remains as its business focus, the Company would now focus on developing its Next Generation Intelligent Network (NGIN) and Business Support System (BSS) as a platform to support White Label MVNO businesses. This platform is aimed to provide a leading-edge telecommunication services as part of our Digital Services eco-system alongside the financial technology (“fintech”) solutions vis-a-vis an integrated mobile payment equipped with virtual account and digital wallet connected to membership, debit, prepaid and/or credit cards.

 

Our Mission Critical System

 

The NGIN and BSS systems are required to provide a real-time unified charging across all services and devices, and payment methods with differentiated service offerings with a quick time-to-market advantage to allow NIMC to quickly capitalize and execute on market opportunities. Our BSS platform combines payment methods, with ‘on demand’ payments for some services and recurring subscription models for others.

 

* Online charging system (OCS) is the central system that governs all subscribers’ charging and rating. It is a system that allows an operator to charge their customers, in real time, based on event or session service usage.
* Policy & Charging Rules Function (PCRF), a software component designated in real-time to determine policy rules that accesses subscriber databases and other specialized functions, such as a charging system PCRF supports the creation of rules and then automatically making policy decisions for each subscriber active on the network.
* Business Support Systems (BSS) are the components that we use to run its business operations towards customers. Together with operations support systems (OSS), these are used to support various end-to-end telecommunication services. BSS and OSS have their own data and service responsibilities.
* Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) is a system that handles all essential business functions such as accounting, HR, sales, marketing, service, warehousing, and more. The SAP B1 system provides a complete visibility and better control help us run our end-to-end business processes professionally.

 

We are now at the final stage of negotiating the purchase of these systems from the respective solution provider. We expect to complete the deployment of these systems by the end of Q2.

 

Moving Forward

 

Moving forward, we will continue to strive in executing our roadmap for growth which encompasses five key areas namely, strengthening our talents and resources, expanding our product range, widening our geographical reach, improving customers’ journey and experience and enhancing our internal process. The positive results from these areas would create a stable platform for the Group to spread its wings regionally and globally to unveil the vast potential of the digital services market segment. Talks and negotiations are ongoing with several mobile network enablers and operators in the South East Asian region. This would promulgate further the Group’s vision and commitment in becoming a regional mobile service operator with an assortment of deliverables that would satisfy the ravishing appetite of the customers. Being in a competitive industry where customers’ satisfaction is uncompromising, we are continuously ensuring that customers’ experience would be the fundamental element in all facets of our operation.

 

Technology is the staple food of today’s consumers, which is ever changing, we will be investing our resources into R&D, talent enhancement, product innovation, and technology adoption in our delivery processes. This will enable us to be more efficient in providing an unmatched customers’ experience, which will translate into a faster and higher subscribers’ acquisition. We will continue to jointly work closely with mobile enablers to penetrate new markets and opportunities this year and beyond.

Industry Overview and Competition

 

Telecommunication Market

 

Asia Pacific

At the end of 2015, 62% of the population in Asia Pacific (2.5 billion individuals) subscribed to mobile services. Growth rates in the region are set to remain above the global average, with Asia Pacific adding more than 600 million new subscribers by 2020. The focus of growth will shift to South and South-East Asia.

The region is seeing an accelerating technology migration to 4G, with the number of 4G connections increasing by 2.5 times over the course of 2015 and now totaling in excess of 600 million. A number of previously ‘laggard’ markets in Asia Pacific are now migrating to 4G, including the likes of Thailand, Malaysia and the Philippines. This is being driven by a number of factors including ongoing network investments by operators, falling device prices and growing consumer appetite for higher speed mobile.

Revenue growth in the region slowed sharply in 2015, reflecting slowing subscriber growth, a weak macroeconomic backdrop and ongoing competitive pressures in a number of markets. Growth rates should recover in the second half of the decade, due to the positive impact of the migration to 4G on data traffic growth. ¹

For the period ending January 2017, mobile connections as against the country’s population is led by Hong Kong with a penetration rate of 165% followed by Singapore (147%), Indonesia (142%), Malaysia (139%), Thailand (133%), Vietnam (131%) and Philippines (126%). On the other hand, mobile broadband penetration is highest in Singapore (146%) and followed by Thailand (131%), Hong Kong (125%), Malaysia (104%), Indonesia (65%), and Philippines (65%) with the global average 55%.

On mobile social media penetration, Singapore is ahead with 70% with Hong Kong, Malaysia and Thailand closing in at 66%, 65% and 62% respectively. They are followed by Philippines (52%), Vietnam (43%), and Indonesia (35%) with the global average at 34%.

The active M-commerce countries are Thailand (41%), Singapore (40%), Malaysia (38%), Hong Kong (36%), Indonesia (33%), Vietnam (28%) and Philippines (26%).

Malaysia

The information and communication subsector continued to record a strong growth of 8.7% during the first six months of 2016 (January - June 2015: 9.4%). The communication segment remained as the major contributor to growth, sustaining its pace at 10.1% (January - June 2015: 10.1%) following new and expansion of internet-based applications as well as enhanced data plans. This was supported by growing number of information and communications technology (ICT) devices as well as continuous initiatives to enhance network coverage and communication access. Growth of the subsector was partly driven by infrastructure expansion to cater for the rising demand for reliable and high-speed internet, including 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) network and fiber optic.²

Mobile Virtual Network Operator Market

 

The explosive growth of wireless is one of the most striking aspects of the telecom industry since the 1990s. Demand for low-cost and high-value cellular service has been driving the mobile industry towards price wars. As the industry continue to mature, Mobile Network Operators (MNO’s) recognize that future growth depends on the pursuit of new markets beyond the conventional method of direct acquisition of new subscribers. The growth driven by bundled service offerings with slashed rates is only a short-term remedy. A new strategic model through alliances with Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) offered a far sighted solution. The MVNO model is seen as both, a solution as well as an opportunity for MNOs to pursue new markets that present sustainable growth and retention.

 

MVNO’s typically do not own a network but lease the network of a service provider that does have a network. An MVNO business consists of managing two key relationships; Mobile Network Operator (MNO) and the end-users. MVNO provides mobile services without owning spectrum and relies on the MNO network infrastructure. Notably, this business arrangement allows smaller service providers to be focused on specific aspects of the mobile business by offering specialized services and enriching the industry service offerings through optimization usage of the network infrastructure.

 

MVNOs provide lower operational costs for mobile operators through billing, sales, customer service, marketing, increase revenue through new applications, value added services and attractive rates. As such, the opportunity for mobile operators to take advantage of MVNOs generally outweighs the competitive threat.

 

Type of MVNO’s

 

Discount Provides very low call rates to market segments for example, the foreign workers market
Lifestyle Focuses on specific niche market demographics for example on the high income executives with specific interests
Advertising-funded Earns advertising revenue in order to provide free voice, SMS and data to its subscribers
Ethnic Provides services to certain ethnic groups in the country. For e.g. XOX caters to the Chinese community in Malaysia, other MVNOs like Lycamobile, Lebara, iCard Mobile, Globalcell Mobile and Dialog Vizz who target ethnic communities by providing inexpensive calls to their home country
Data Focuses on selling data subscriptions to end-users. Amazon in US and Dell in Japan are Data MVNOs. Merchantrade in Malaysia is a Data MVNO.

 

Examples of other MVNO’s in Malaysia

 

Merchantrade A strong presence in the foreign workers’ in the Malaysia on Celcom network
XOX Focus to serve the Chinese community offering services riding on Maxis network
Redtone Serving the small and medium-sized enterprises market segment. A spin-off of Redtone International Bhd riding on Maxis
Tune Talk A lifestyle service offering as sister companies Tune Hotels and Tune Money. Operates on Celcom’s network

Plan of operations

 

OUR PLAN OF OPERATION FOR THE NEXT TWELVE MONTHS.

We hope to generate additional revenues in the next twelve months by engaging business operations through internal growth and through strategic acquisitions and cooperative advertising agreements, as described more fully under "Overview" above.

 

We have cash and cash equivalents of $797,230 as of December 31, 2016. In the opinion of management, these funds will not satisfy our working capital requirements to operate at our current level of activity for the next twelve months. To effectuate our business plan, during the next twelve months, we must arrange for adequate funding to implement our plans.

 

Financing and funding

 

Management intends to continue to raise additional financing through debt and equity financing or other means and interests that it deems necessary, with a view to implementing our business plan and building a revenue base. We plan to use the proceeds of such financings to provide working capital to our operations and increase our capital expenditure for marketing and working with our co-operative partners. There can be no assurances that sufficient financing will be available on terms acceptable to us or at all. Our forecast for the period for which financial resources will be needed to support our operations involves risks and uncertainties and actual results could fail as a result of a number of factors.

 

Specifically, we hope to accomplish the steps as set out in this report to implement our business plan in respect of the new focus, in developing and integrating the MVNO business from prepaid to postpaid services and to start payment services on our Digital Service Platform. The success of our plans is subject to our ability to obtain adequate funding. Such additional capital may be raised through public or private equity financing, borrowings, or other sources, such as contributions from our officers and directors. If we are unable to obtain funds necessary to implement our business plan, we may revise or scale back our business plan.

 

We are not currently conducting any research and development activities, other than the continual development of our website. We do not anticipate conducting any other research and development activities in the near future. In the event that we expand our business scope, then we may need to hire additional employees or independent contractors as well as purchase or lease additional equipment and open new office locations.

 

Governmental Regulation

We are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations applied to businesses in general. We believe that we comply with the requirements in Malaysia for any licenses or approvals to pursue our proposed business plan. In locations where we operate, the applicable laws and regulations are subject to amendment or interpretation by regulatory authorities. Generally, such authorities are vested with relatively broad discretion to grant, renew and revoke licensee and approvals, and to implement regulations. Licenses may be denied or revoked for various reasons, including the violation of such regulations, conviction of crimes and the like. Possible sanctions which may be imposed include the suspension of individual employees, limitations on engaging in a particular business for specific periods of time, revocation of licenses, censures, redress to customers and fines. We believe that we are in conformity with all applicable laws in all relevant jurisdictions. We may be prevented from operating if our activities are not in compliance and must take action to comply with the relevant laws and regulations.

 

We have posted our privacy policy and practices concerning the use and disclosure of any consumer information collected on our website, www.mediangroupinc.com. Any failure by us to comply with posted privacy policies, Federal Trade Commission requirements or other domestic or international privacy-related laws and regulations could result in proceedings by governmental or regulatory bodies that could potentially harm our business, results of operations and financial condition. In this regard, there are a large number of legislative proposals before the U.S. Congress and various state legislative bodies regarding privacy issues related to online commerce to which the Group may participate in the future. It is not possible to predict whether or when such legislation may be adopted, and certain proposals, if adopted, could harm our business by causing a decrease in the use of our applications and services by our small business customers and thereby a decrease in our revenues. Such decreases could be caused by, among other possible provisions, the required use of disclaimers or other requirements before consumers can utilize our Internet technology solutions.

 

Employees

 

As of the date of this report, we have 10 full time employees. From time to time, we utilize consultants or contractors for specific assignments. None of our employees are represented by a labor union and we have never experienced a work stoppage. We believe that our relationships with our employees are good.

If we are unable to obtain additional funds from other financings we may have to curtail the scope of our operations significantly and alter our business model

 

We must achieve profitability for our business model to succeed. Prior to accomplishing this goal, we may need to raise additional funds, from equity or debt sources. Our cash requirements are substantial and our current financial position is insufficient to meet our cash needs in the future. If additional financing is not available when required or is not available on acceptable terms, we may be unable to continue our operations at current or planned levels. In addition, any failure to raise additional funds in the future may result in our inability to successfully secure our business platform, take advantage of business opportunities or respond to competitive pressures, any of which circumstances could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

 

We do not have substantial cash resources and if we cannot raise additional funds or generate more revenues, we will not be able to pay our vendors and will probably not be able to continue as a going concern

 

We will need to raise additional funds to pay outstanding debts, vendor invoices and execute our business plan. Our future cash flows depend on our ability to enter into, and be paid under, contracts with our distributors for the telecom services business. There can be no assurance that additional funds will be available when needed from any source or, if available, will be available on terms that are acceptable to us.

 

We may be required to pursue sources of additional capital through various means, including joint venture projects and debt or equity financings. Future financings through equity investments will be dilutive to existing stockholders. Also, the terms of securities we may issue in future capital transactions may be more favorable for our new investors. Newly issued securities may include preferences, superior voting rights, the issuance of warrants or other convertible securities, which will have additional dilutive effects. Further, we may incur substantial costs in pursuing future capital and/or financing, including investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting fees, printing and distribution expenses and other costs. We may also be required to recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain securities we may issue, such as convertible notes and warrants, which will adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations.

 

Our ability to obtain needed financing may be impaired by such factors as the weakness of capital markets and the fact that we have not been profitable, which could impact the availability or cost of future financings. If the amount of capital we are able to raise from financing activities, together with our revenues from operations, is not sufficient to satisfy our capital needs, even to the extent that we reduce our operations accordingly, we may be required to cease operations.

We have a limited operating history, and it may be difficult for potential investors to evaluate our business

 

Currently we are focusing our operation on MVNO business in Malaysia. Our limited operating history makes it difficult for potential investors to evaluate our business or prospective operations. We are subject to all the risks inherent in the initial organization, financing, expenditures, complications and delays inherent in a relatively new business. Investors should evaluate an investment in us in light of the uncertainties encountered by such companies in a competitive environment. Our business is dependent upon the implementation of our business plan, as well as the ability of our cooperative distributor, Angkasa, to sell our telecom services to their membership. There can be no assurance that our efforts will be successful or that we will be able to attain profitability.

 

 

Our limited operating history and rapidly evolving business makes it difficult for us to accurately forecast revenues and expenses

 

We have a limited operating history on which to base an evaluation of our business and prospects. Our operating results may fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, many of which are outside of our control. For these reasons, comparing our operating results on a period-to-period basis may not be meaningful, and you should not rely on our past results as an indication of our future performance. Our prospects must be considered in light of inherent risks, expenses, and difficulties encountered by companies in their early stages of development, particularly in new and evolving markets.

 

We have generated losses for the past years as our consumer electronics and advertising businesses has come under competitive price pressure which the management is rationalizing the operation in order to be competitive. The advertising and mobile devices operations commenced in April 2006 with a very limited operating history for these operations due to the lack of operating and financial resources. Our operating results to 2013 relate principally to trading in consumer electronics and light appliances, and mobile devices. However in January 2014 these businesses were disposed and we closed the acquisition of the MVNO business. In 2015, we determined to focus our telecom business from prepaid to postpaid business and a digital service provider. Accordingly, our future prospects are uncertain in light of the risks and uncertainties experienced by early stage companies in evolving industries, and in particular our future MVNO operation in Malaysia. Due to our limited history and limited resources, it is difficult for us to predict future revenues and operating expenses. If our telecom services business develops slower than we expect, our losses may be higher than anticipated, we may have to curtail parts of our business plan and the market price of our stock may decline.

 

Some of the other risks and uncertainties of our business relate to our ability to:

 

  - offer new and innovative products and services to attract and retain a larger consumer base;
  - attract customers;
  - increase awareness of our brand and continue to develop consumer and customer loyalty;
  - respond to competitive market conditions;
  - respond to changes in our regulatory environment;
  - manage risks associated with intellectual property rights;
  - maintain effective control of our costs and expenses;
  - raise sufficient capital to sustain and expand our business;
  - attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel; and
  - upgrade our technology to support increased traffic and expanded services.

 

If we are unsuccessful in addressing any of these risks and uncertainties, our business may be materially and adversely affected.

 

 

We face significant competition and may suffer from a loss of users and customers as a result

 

We expect to face significant competition in our telecom services business, particularly from other companies that seek to provide similar products and services. Many of these competitors have significantly greater financial resources and more personnel than we do. They may also have longer operating histories and more experience in attracting and retaining and managing customers. They may use their experience and resources to compete with us in a variety of ways, including by competing more for users, customers, distributors, media channels and by investing more heavily in research and development and making acquisitions. If we fail to compete effectively, our business, financial condition and results of operation will be adversely affected.

Our business depends on a strong brand, and if we are not able to maintain and enhance our brand, our business and operating results may be harmed

 

We believe that recognition of our brand will contribute significantly to the success of our business. We also believe that maintaining and enhancing our brand is critical to expanding our base of consumers and customers. As our market becomes increasingly competitive, maintaining and enhancing our brand will depend largely on our ability to fund the advertising and promotion campaigns, which may be increasingly difficult and expensive.

 

 

We may face intellectual property infringement claims and other related claims that could be time-consuming and costly to defend and may result in our inability to continue providing certain of our existing services

 

Technology and service companies are frequently involved in litigation based on allegations of infringement of intellectual property rights, unfair competition, and invasion of privacy, defamation and other violations of third-party rights. The validity, enforceability and scope of protection of intellectual property, particularly in Malaysia, are uncertain and still evolving. In addition, many parties are actively developing and seeking protection for electronics technologies, including seeking patent protection. There may be patents issued or pending that are held by others that cover significant aspects of our technologies, products, business methods or services. As we face increasing competition and as litigation becomes more common in Malaysia and elsewhere in Asia for resolving commercial disputes, we face a higher risk of being the subject of intellectual property infringement claims.

 

Intellectual property litigation is expensive and time consuming and could divert resources and management attention from the operations of our businesses. If there is a successful claim of infringement, we may be required to pay substantial fines and damages or enter into royalty or license agreements that may not be available on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. Our failure to obtain a license of the rights on a timely basis could harm our business. Any intellectual property litigation could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

 

 

If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud

 

We are subject to reporting obligations under the U.S. securities laws. The SEC, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, adopted rules requiring every public company to include in its annual report a management report on such company's internal controls over financial reporting which contains management's assessment of the effectiveness of the company's internal controls over financial reporting. In addition, if the Company qualifies under certain revenue or market capitalization test an independent registered public accounting firm must attest to and report on management's assessment of the effectiveness of the company's internal controls over financial reporting.  Our management may conclude that our internal controls over financial reporting are not effective. Moreover, even if our management concludes that our internal controls over financial reporting are effective, our independent registered public accounting firm may still decline to attest to our management's assessment or may issue a report that is qualified if they are not satisfied with our controls or the level at which our controls are documented, designed, operated or reviewed, or if it interprets the relevant requirements differently from us. Our reporting obligations as a public company will place a significant strain on our management, operational and financial resources and systems for the foreseeable future. We are a company with limited accounting personnel and other resources with which to address our internal financial controls and procedures. If we fail to timely achieve and maintain the adequacy of our internal financial controls, we may not be able to conclude that we have effective internal controls over financial reporting at a reasonable assurance level. Moreover, effective internal controls over financial reporting are necessary for us to produce reliable financial reports and are important to help prevent fraud. As a result, our failure to achieve and maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting could result in the loss of investor confidence in the reliability of our financial statements, which in turn could harm our business and negatively impact the market price of our Common Stock.

Because we primarily rely on distributors such as Angkasa in distributing our telecom services, our failure to retain key distributors or attract additional distributors could materially and adversely affect our business

 

For MVNO operation, we will rely on our cooperative partner, Angkasa, to market our services to their membership base. If Angkasa is not successful in selling our services to their membership base, then we may need to incur significant marketing expenses and or we would not have enough customers to maintain profitability, and the results of operations may be materially and adversely affected. We may also sign distributing agreements with other distributors, and we cannot assure that we can maintain favorable relationships with them. Our distribution arrangements will be non-exclusive. Furthermore, some of our potential distributors may have contracts with our competitors or potential competitors and may not sign distribution agreements with us. If we fail to retain our key distributors or attract additional distributors on terms that are commercially reasonable, our business and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

 

 

We may not be able to manage our expanding operations effectively

 

We commenced our telecom services operations in early 2013. We anticipate continuous developing of our business in 2016 as we focus growth in our customer base through expanding our network and channel partners and consumer market opportunities. To manage the potential growth of our operations and personnel, we will be required to improve operational and financial systems, procedures and controls, and expand, train and manage our growing employee base. Furthermore, our management will be required to maintain and expand our relationships with customers. We cannot assure that our current and planned personnel, systems, procedures and controls will be adequate to support our future operations.

 

 

The recent global economic and financial market crisis has had and may continue to have a negative effect on our business and results of operations

 

Global economic conditions could have a negative effect on our business and results of operations like the global economic downturn in 2008 when economic activity in China, United States and throughout much of the world has undergone a sudden, sharp economic downturn following the housing downturn and subprime lending collapse in both the United States and Europe. Since then the global credit and liquidity have tightened in much of the world. Some of our customers in Malaysia may face business downturn and credit issues, and could experience cash flow problems and other financial hardships, which could affect timeliness of doing business with us.

 

Changes in governmental banking, monetary and fiscal policies to restore liquidity and increase credit availability may not be effective in alleviating the global economic declines. It is difficult to determine the breadth and duration of the economic and financial market problems and the many ways in which they may affect our customers and our business in general. Nonetheless, continuation or further worsening of these difficult financial and macroeconomic conditions could have a significant effect on our business and results of operations.

 

 

Capital markets are currently experiencing a period of dislocation and instability, which has had and could continue to have a negative impact on the availability and cost of capital

 

The general disruption in the U.S. capital markets has impacted the broader financial and credit markets and reduced the availability of debt and equity capital for the market as a whole. These conditions could persist for a prolonged period of time or worsen in the future. Our ability to access the capital markets may be restricted at a time when we would like, or need, to access such markets, which could have an impact on our flexibility to react to changing economic and business conditions. The resulting lack of available credit, lack of confidence in the financial sector, increased volatility in the financial markets and reduced business activity could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and our ability to obtain and manage our liquidity. In addition, the cost of debt financing may be materially adversely impacted by these market conditions.

Our success depends on the continuing efforts of our senior management team and other key personnel and our business may be harmed if we lose their services

 

Our future success depends heavily upon the continuing services of the members of our senior management. If one or more of our senior executives or other key personnel are unable or unwilling to continue in their present positions, we may not be able to replace them easily or at all, and our business may be disrupted and our financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected. Competition for senior management and key personnel is intense, the pool of qualified candidates is very limited, and we may not be able to retain the services of our senior executives or key personnel, or attract and retain high-quality senior executives or key personnel in the future.

 

In addition, if any member of our senior management team or any of our other key personnel joins a competitor or forms a competing company, we may lose customers, distributors, know-how and key professionals and staff members. Each of our executive officers and key employees has entered into an employment agreement with us which contains confidentiality and non-competition provisions. Legal proceedings to enforce such provisions would be costly in both money and management time and such provisions may not be enforced or enforceable.

 

 

The success of our business depends on the continuing contributions of Andrew Hwan Lee and other key personnel who may terminate their employment with us at any time, and we will need to hire additional qualified personnel

 

We rely heavily on the services of Andrew Hwan Lee, our director and Chief Executive Officer, as well as several other management personnel. Loss of the services of any such individuals would adversely impact our operations. In addition, we believe our technical personnel represent a significant asset and provide us with a competitive advantage over many of our competitors and that our future success will depend upon our ability to retain these key employees and our ability to attract and retain other skilled financial, engineering, technical and managerial personnel. We do not currently maintain any "key man" life insurance with respect to any of such individuals.

 

 

We rely on highly skilled personnel and if we are unable to retain or motivate key personnel or hire qualified personnel, we may not be able to grow effectively

 

Our performance and future success depends on the talents and efforts of highly skilled individuals. We will need to continue to identify, hire, develop, motivate and retain highly skilled personnel for all areas of our organization. Competition in our industry for qualified employees is intense. Our continued ability to compete effectively depends on our ability to attract new employees and to retain and motivate our existing employees.

 

As competition in our industry intensifies, it may be more difficult for us to hire, motivate and retain highly skilled personnel. If we do not succeed in doing so, we may be unable to grow effectively.

 

 

We have no business insurance coverage

 

We do not have any business liability or disruption insurance coverage for our operations in Malaysia. Any business disruption, litigation or natural disaster may result in our incurring substantial costs and the diversion of our resources.

 

 

We are exposed to risks associated with the ongoing financial crisis and weakening global economy, which increase the uncertainty of consumers purchasing products and/or services

 

The recent severe tightening of the credit markets, turmoil in the financial markets, and weakening global economy are contributing to a decrease in spending by consumers. If these economic conditions are prolonged or deteriorate further, the market for layaway services will decrease accordingly.

Our Company may experience rapid growth in operations, which may place, and may continue to place, significant demands on its management, operational and financial infrastructure

 

If the Company does not effectively manage its growth, the quality of its products and services could suffer, which could negatively affect the Company's brand and operating results. To effectively manage this growth, the Company will need to continue to improve its operational, financial and management controls and its reporting systems and procedures. Failure to implement these improvements could hurt the Company's ability to manage its growth and financial position.

 

 

Our Company's business faces inherent risk in the mobile communication industry

 

Our Group's business is subject to certain risks inherent in the mobile communication industry. Our Group's revenue and operating results could be adversely affect by many factors which include, amongst others, changes in general economic, business and credit conditions, fluctuation in foreign exchange rates, changes in demand for and market acceptance of our products and services, our ability to introduce new products and services and enhancements in a timely manner, rapid technological changes, increase in operating expenses, lower profit margins due to pricing competition and delay in expansion plans.

 

Our Group seeks to limit these business risks through, inter-alia prudent management policies, keeping abreast with new developments and technologies in the relevant industries and maintaining good relationship with customers and suppliers. However there can be no assurance that any changes in these factors will not have any material adverse effect on our Group's business.

 

 

Our Company's business faces competition from local and foreign competitors

 

Our Group faces competition from both local and foreign competitors which offer similar products that of our Group offerings. Increased competition could result in competitive pricing resulting in lower profit margins. However, our Group believes that we have competitive edge over our competitors; including amongst others, quality services, captive customers through our distributors, access to R&D capabilities and technological expertise acquired over the years.

 

Our Group seeks to limit the competitive risks through, inter-alia constant review of our development and marketing strategies to adapt to changes in economic conditions and market demands as well as focusing on certain markets and industries. However, there can be no assurance that our Group will be able to compete effectively against our competitors and that competitive pressure will not materially and adversely affect our Group’s business, operations and results and or financial condition.

Risks Relating to Our Organization and Our Common Stock

 

 

Public company compliance may make it more difficult for us to attract and retain officers and directors

 

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act and new rules subsequently implemented by the SEC have required changes in corporate governance practices of public companies. As a public company, we expect these new rules and regulations to increase our compliance costs and to make certain activities more time consuming and costly. As a public company, we also expect that these new rules and regulations may make it more difficult and expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance in the future and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our board of directors or as executive officers.

 

 

We may not be able to attract the attention of major brokerage firms

 

Securities analysts of major brokerage firms may not provide coverage of us since there is no incentive to brokerage firms to recommend the purchase of our Common Stock. No assurance can be given that brokerage firms will, in the future, want to conduct any secondary offerings on behalf of our Company.

 

 

Our stock price may be volatile

 

The market price of our Common Stock is likely to be highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including the following:

 

  * changes in our industry;
  * competitive pricing pressures;
  * our ability to obtain working capital financing;
  * additions or departures of key personnel;
  * limited "public float" in the hands of a small number of persons whose sales or lack of sales could result in positive or negative pricing pressure on the market price for our Common Stock;
  * sales of our Common Stock;
  * our ability to execute our business plan;
  * operating results that fall below expectations;
  * loss of any strategic relationship;
  * regulatory developments;
  * economic and other external factors; and
  * period-to-period fluctuations in our financial results.

 

In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock.

 

 

We may not pay dividends in the future. Any return on investment may be limited to the value of our Common Stock

 

We do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends on our Common Stock will depend on earnings, financial condition and other business and economic factors affecting us at such time as our board of directors may consider relevant. If we do not pay dividends, our Common Stock may be less valuable because a return on your investment will only occur if our stock price appreciates.

 

 

- 13 -

 


 

 

There is currently no liquid trading market for our Common Stock and we cannot ensure that one will ever develop or be sustained

 

To date there has not been an active trading market for our Common Stock. We cannot predict how liquid the market for our Common Stock might become. As soon as is practicable after becoming eligible, we anticipate applying for listing of our Common Stock on either the NYSE Amex Equities, The Nasdaq Capital Market or other national securities exchange, assuming that we can satisfy the initial listing standards for such exchange. We currently do not satisfy the initial listing standards for any of these exchanges, and cannot ensure that we will be able to satisfy such listing standards or that our Common Stock will be accepted for listing on any such exchange. Should we fail to satisfy the initial listing standards of such exchanges, or our Common Stock is otherwise rejected for listing and remains quoted on the OTC markets or is suspended from the OTC markets, the trading price of our Common Stock could suffer and the trading market for our Common Stock may be less liquid and our Common Stock price may be subject to increased volatility.

 

Furthermore, for companies whose securities are quoted on the OTC markets, it is more difficult (i) to obtain accurate quotations, (ii) to obtain coverage for significant news events because major wire services generally do not publish press releases about such companies and (iii) to obtain needed capital.

 

 

Our Common Stock is currently a "penny stock," which may make it more difficult for our investors to sell their shares

 

Our Common Stock is currently and may continue in the future to be subject to the "penny stock" rules adopted under Section 15(g) of the Exchange Act. The penny stock rules generally apply to companies whose Common Stock is not listed on The NASDAQ Stock Market or other national securities exchange and trades at less than $4.00 per share, other than companies that have had average revenue of at least $6,000,000 for the last three years or that have tangible net worth of at least $5,000,000 ($2,000,000 if the company has been operating for three or more years). These rules require, among other things, that brokers who trade penny stock to persons other than "established customers" complete certain documentation, make suitability inquiries of investors and provide investors with certain information concerning trading in the security, including a risk disclosure document and quote information under certain circumstances. Many brokers have decided not to trade penny stocks because of the requirements of the penny stock rules and, as a result, the number of broker-dealers willing to act as market makers in such securities is limited. If we remain subject to the penny stock rules for any significant period, it could have an adverse effect on the market, if any, for our securities. Since our securities are subject to the penny stock rules, investors may find it more difficult to dispose of our securities.  

 

 

Offers or availability for sale of a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock may cause the price of our Common Stock to decline

 

If our stockholders sell substantial amounts of our Common Stock in the public market, or upon the expiration of any statutory holding period under Rule 144, or issued upon the exercise of outstanding options or warrants, it could create a circumstance commonly referred to as an "overhang" and in anticipation of which the market price of our Common Stock could fall. The existence of an overhang, whether or not sales have occurred or are occurring, also could make more difficult our ability to raise additional financing through the sale of equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem reasonable or appropriate.

 

 

Ching Chiat Kwong, our director beneficially owns or holds the proxies for a substantial portion of our outstanding Common Stock, which enables him to influence many significant corporate actions and in certain circumstances may prevent a change in control that would otherwise be beneficial to our stockholders

 

Ching Chiat Kwong currently beneficially owns and holds the proxies for approximately 78.27% of our outstanding Common Stock. As such, he has a substantial impact on matters requiring the vote of the stockholders, including the election of our directors and most of our corporate actions. This control could delay, defer, or prevent others from initiating a potential merger, takeover or other change in our control, even if these actions would benefit our stockholders and us. This control could adversely affect the voting and other rights of our other stockholders and could depress the market price of our Common Stock.

RISKS RELATING TO THE BUSINESS

 

We have a limited operating track record

 

We have a limited operating and financial history in telecom services upon which you may evaluate us. Our telecom services operation commenced operations in 2013 and in July 2015, we have determined to focus on postpaid telecom services. Since then, we are setting up our telecom operations for postpaid services which should commence in 2017. As a result, your evaluation of us and our prospects will be based on a limited operating and financial history. In addition, most of our products and services have been sold for only a relatively short time, which is since 2013. Therefore, it is difficult to accurately forecast our future revenue and budget our operating expenses.

 

There can be no assurance that our business model or any specific products or services will be profitable or competitive in the long term against larger, facilities-based mobile telecommunications operator or other MVNOs.

 

We may experience significant fluctuations in our revenues and cash flows. We have experienced, and may continue to experience, operating losses. In the event that we do become profitable, we can provide no assurances that such profitability can or will be sustained in the future.

 

 

We are highly dependent on Telecom Operator’s core network infrastructure

 

As an MVNO, we do not own or operate our own physical network. We will provide mobile telecommunications services over network infrastructure that relies entirely on our Telecom Operator’s core network infrastructure. We do not have control over the service provision and is completed dependent on coverage, quality, reliability, service upgrades and network capacity supplied by our host network providers. Therefore, the provision of our services may be adversely affected by:-

 

(i) Damage or interruptions to Telecom Operator’s Digital Network;

 

(ii) System and network management, modification or maintenance, by Telecom Operator; or

 

(iii) Failure or obsolescence of Telecom Operator’s network infrastructure and/or related systems.

 

Notwithstanding the above, our host network provider will provide prior notice to us of any service interruption. There is also a service level agreement for the MVNO service with the Telecom Operator which provides assurance that service quality to our subscribers will be the same as that provided by Telecom Operator  to its own subscribers.

 

The Telecom Operator, in entering into the MVNO services agreement, intended for the Company to assist in developing its markets and we are bound by the MVNO services agreement not to directly compete with the Telecom Operator for its existing subscribers may inadvertently prefer our services over theirs. Hence it is not only important that we adhere to the terms and conditions of the MVNO services agreement, such as the minimum value commitment, to avoid legal, operational and/or financial repercussions but imperative for us to work closely with the Telecom Operator to forge and maintain a sound relationship in light of a strategic long term partnership.

 

 

We may not be able to successfully extend and/or launch existing or new products and services into the market

 

As part of our strategy, we intend to introduce, and to continue to develop, a number of products, services and service experiences for its subscribers, particularly services such as convergence subscription plans, social portal applications and other similar services. Although we have, in the past year, pioneered and launched innovative mobile services into the market which were well received by our targeted subscriber segments, there is no assurance that we will be able to successfully extend and/or launch existing or new products and services into the market, due to rapid technological changes, shifts in market expectations as well as competitive pressures.

 

There is a risk that we may not identify consumer trends correctly. Any new product or services we launch may not be provided on a cost-effective or price-competitive basis due to a misreading of consumer demand or trends.  Such misjudgment may adversely affect the operational and financial results of us.

 

 

- 15 -

 


 

 

We depend significantly on our network of traditional dealers and distributors for sales or our products and services

 

Our mobile services will be principally sold through our cooperative distributor and a network of traditional dealers and distributors. Any dispute with them may disrupt sales and have an adverse effect on our operational and financial results.  

 

 

Dependence on directors and key personnel

 

The technology industry is growing and fast evolving, and the management and operation of the business requires the employment of highly skilled knowledge workers, whether in technology or non-technology related fields. We recognize and believe that our continuing success depends to a significant extent on the abilities and continuing efforts of its existing Managing and Executive Directors and key personnel, and the ability of our Company to attract new personnel and retain its existing skilled personnel. The labour market for skilled personnel in this field is highly competitive.  

 

We seek to mitigate this risk by offering its employees competitive salary/remuneration, benefit packages and also to offer internships to undergraduates pursuing tertiary education in the telecommunications field for possible future employment with us.

 

If one or more of these personnel are unable or unwilling to continue in their present positions, or if they join a competitor or form a competing company, we may not be able to replace them easily. Our business may be significantly disrupted and its financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

 

 

We may be unable to adequately protect our intellectual property or may face intellectual property claims that may be costly to resolve or may limit our ability to use our intellectual property in the future.

 

The popularity of our products and services is dependent on the goodwill associated with our brand names and logos. In the case of trademarks and service marks applied and/or registered with the Intellectual Property Corporation of Malaysia, we have a perpetual, royalty-free licence to use such trademarks and service marks in Malaysia.

 

Our telecom operation relies on a combination of trademarks, service marks and domain name registrations, common law copyright protection and contractual restrictions to establish and protect their intellectual property. Any third party may challenge our intellectual property. We may incur substantial costs in defending any claims relating to its intellectual property rights.  

 

 

Breach of customer data protection could materially affect our reputation and business and subject us to liability

 

We have developed a large database on our subscribers’ information stored in various business systems and used in many business processes. We are required under our licenses to take all reasonable steps to ensure that parties who have access to our subscribers’ information in the ordinary course of business do not disclose such information without the prior consent of the subscribers. Under the Malaysian Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (“PDPA”) which regulates the processing of personal data in regards to commercial transaction and safeguard the interests of data subjects, the penalty for non-compliance will be between RM100,000 – RM500,000 (about US$23,365 – US$116,822 at an exchange rate of 4.28) and /or imprisonment between 1-3 years.

RISK RELATING TO THE INDUSTRY

 

We are exposed to competition in the Malaysian mobile telecommunications industry

 

The market for mobile telecommunications services in Malaysia is highly competitive. Increasing competition in the Malaysian mobile telecommunications industry has had, and is expected to continue to have, significant impact on our financial condition and results of operations. We directly competes with the incumbent MNOs as well as three (3) main other MVNOs in the market. Mobile telecommunications service providers compete for subscribers in a number of different areas including the services and features offered customer service and price. In addition, the mobile telecommunications industry in Malaysia may experience technological changes, evolving industry standards, liberalization and changes in subscribers’ preferences. Competition in the mobile telecommunications industry in Malaysia may increase as a result of industry consolidation, the entry of new competitors, regulations, foreign investment in existing competitors, and the development of new technologies, products and services.

 

Malaysia recorded a mobile penetration rate of 143.8% in 2013¹. This penetration rate in Malaysia is not viewed as saturated yet, as Singapore and Hong Kong Special Administrative Region have achieved penetration rates of 154.3%² and 155.1%³ (as of June 2013) respectively. Nevertheless as consumers become more affluent and also due to the decline in costs of cellular phones, the adoption of multiple SIMs per individual has become more common.

 

Under the current telecommunications laws in Malaysia, mobile operators are obliged to provide their subscribers with number portability, which allows subscribers of mobile services to retain their existing number when changing from one operator to the other. Number portability de creases the hurdles for mobile subscribers to switch to another operator and could lead to increased churn rates and increased subscriber acquisition costs.

 

In view of the above, we rely on our competitive strengths to complete effectively in the Malaysian mobile telecommunications industry. As an MVNO, we will rely on our host network provider’s network infrastructure and thus do not need to incur significant amount of capital expenditure to set up network infrastructure. This in turn translates into lower breakeven for our costs. In view of lower capital expenditure, we are able to focus our financial resources towards penetrating new market segments faster. We also have flexibility in pricing and thus are able to respond to changing market demands fast without the need to obtain approvals from our host network providers.

 

Being a new MVNO, the MNP feature may actually help us to acquire relatively more subscribers than other incumbent mobile telecommunications operators as it presents to mobile users a whole new mobile experience and innovation, on top of attractive pricing. Being a niche market player, we are able to direct all our strengths to our target market segment intensively and aggressively.

 

Nevertheless, there can be no assurance however that these or other strategies will prove effective in avoiding any materials adverse effects on our future growth and profitability, and there can be no assurance that the level of existing and future competition will not adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

The mobile telecommunications industry is subject to rapid technological changes

 

The mobile telecommunications industry is subject to rapid, ongoing technological changes and has experienced significant changes in recent years, which we expect to continue.

 

Emerging and future technological changes may adversely affect the viability or competitiveness of our MVNO operation. We continuously evaluates and analyses new and/or suitable technologies to be adopted or assimilated into our business as we strive to keep abreast with the ever changing market trends and demand, increase competitiveness and avoid technological obsolescence timely and cost effectively.

 

However, as an MVNO, we rely on our host network provider’s telecommunications network infrastructure, i.e. DiGi Digital Network. This frees us from investing in related heavy capital expenditures, maintenance and upgrading of network infrastructure due to technological changes.

Shift in business and revenue model

 

The on-going fragmentation of the sector value chain and aggressive moves by competitors in the marketplace is shifting legacy business models and strategies. There is a pivotal challenge to operators to explore new revenue streams in an effort to entice user loyalty. The failure to shift and adapt to changes and trends in the ecosystem can be adversely affect the financial prospects of the company. A pivotal trend in the ecosystem is the migration from charging for minutes to moving rising volumes of data across networks, shifting away from the traditional revenue streams of voice and SMS related charges. Having long-term financial sustainability is dependent on the structural and operational flexibility and ability of the organization to monetize the increase and changes in demand. In order to limit risks, we are constantly investing time and resources in diversifying our revenue mix through research and development, and exploration of data enabled services and new business models. However there can be no assurance that our Group will be able to compete effectively against our competitors.

 

Emergence of Over-The-Top (OTT) Providers taking a share of future expansion of service revenues

 

The explosion of affordable smartphones (often Wi-Fi enabled), coupled with inexpensive and widespread mobile broadband plans have paved the way for a new category of disruptive competitors in the telecom market- OTT players. OTT Voice and Messaging players are the biggest threats for communication service providers. OTT providers have a direct effect on the providers’ core service revenues and margins through substitution of conventional utilization away from the traditional voice, SMS and roaming through Internet Protocol (IP) alternatives. The challenge herein lies with the company to effectively manage the competitive pressures of the market. Adoption of opportunistic and collaborative strategies has its merits in diversification of revenue streams. Embarking on this this approach will generate new revenue streams and balance profit margins, there are however legal limitations to the opportunistic approach following the content of our legal arrangements with the network provide. In order to remain competitive a more collaborative approach needs to be adopted. The company has embarked on this route by exploring new revenue generating streams and balance profit margins through collaborations with other OTT players.

 

Extend of capital expenditure needed to support growth

 

Content streaming players place significant strain on communication service provider networks and resources. Although mobile data revenue growth has helped the industry compensate for voice revenue stagnation, data profitability is lagging. The presence of content streaming players is pushing the envelope with traditional providers. The increased load on the network through transfer of huge amounts of data is forcing providers to make capital investment in network upgrades and operational cost in order to sustain the significant traffic optimization. As an MVNO we rely on the host network providers telecommunications infrastructure and don’t foresee any heavy capital investment in expenditure, maintenance or upgrading of network infrastructure however this does not eliminate the potential threat and risk that could be associated with the indirect effect of network overload or saturation. Establishing an effective communication channel with our network provider partner to address issues of bandwidth will not be an assurance of material mitigation.

 

Data Security breach or threats and attacks from third parties

 

The profile of digital security has increased in recent years and mainly attributed to headlining news in the media. As global communities become increasingly dependent on computing and networking it is imperative that these systems operate securely. While standards continue to meet the needs of the industry and end user, the increased use of open interphases and protocols and the sheer diversity of applications and platforms are increasingly raising threats for malicious use of networks. The surge of security violations (such as viruses and breach of confidentiality) have been observed throughout global networks and often resulted in major cost impacts. Keeping abreast rapidly evolving data security threats is a priority for us. In addressing these threats the Company approaches all threats with a comprehensive, up-to-the minute knowledge about information assets, ecosystem threats and vulnerabilities. The company also employs industry standards in data management, storage and handling of information through its systems, processes and management to mitigate any related risk. The Company has deployed all necessary and available resources to ensure competent handling of data and neutralization of threats however this cannot completely eliminate the threat and risk associated with data security breach or threats and attacks from third parties to its systems or data. Breach of data security or threats and attacks on the systems or data of the company could materially affect the reputation of the Company and could be detrimental to the organizations finances.

 

Regulated relationship between MVNO and MNO

 

The relationship between the Company and its Telecom Operator, a Malaysia Network Operator (“MNO”) is defined in great length through its engagement contract. The Company purchases airtime and bandwidth at wholesale rates and resells them to the market offering value added services and package bundles to attract the pool of potential subscribers in the market. At the same time the loose ended agreement does not restrict the MNO from offering the similar bundles and value added services at a lower rate, due to its lower cost price to the same pool of potential subscribers. Some may argue that this arrangement of good faith is done in market competitiveness however this form of non-regulated relationship in terms of product offerings can adversely affect the current and future prospects of the Company.

MVNO’s business is subject to extensive regulation

 

The provision of telecommunications services in Malaysia are subject to extensive regulation and supervision by the MCMC under the ambit of the Ministry of Energy, Green Technology and Water (formerly known as Ministry of Energy, Water and Communications Malaysia). We are further governed by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Act, 1998 (“CMA”) pursuant to which our NSP-I was granted. While we strongly believe that our NSP-I licence and approvals and in good standing and expect to be able to continue to fulfill our licence and approval terms to the satisfaction of the MCMC, there is no assurance that renewals will be on the same terms as the existing licences.

 

Any inability to obtain new licences, or delay in the renewal of existing licences, could impede our provision of services and could therefore have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. Our operational and financial results could also be adversely affected if adverse fee charges, such as the establishment of regulated pricing, are introduced by the MCMC.

 

Changes in laws, regulations or MCMC policy affecting our business activities and those of its competitors could adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations. In particularly, decision by the MCMC in the areas of the grant, amendment or renewal of licenses to us or third parties, if unfavourable to us, could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. There can be no assurance that the Ministry will not issue new or additional telecommunications licences to new or existing mobile operators whose services will compete with those offered by us.

 

 

We may be liable for our distributors’ actions

 

As our distributors are third parties, we have no control over their operations but we may be held accountable for their actions as they are deemed to be our agents or representatives.

 

Currently, liability for agent actions is limited to prepaid registration which is governed by MCMC’s guidelines on Registration of End-Users of Prepaid Public cellular Services (No. 1 and No. 2) and the Guidelines on Prepaid Registration (collectively “Prepaid Guidelines”). There is no guarantee that liabilities for agent actions will not be extended to other areas since the Ministry has the power to impose additional conditions.

 

However, all our distributors and their dealers are required to follow strictly to our standard operating procedures for prepaid registration to minimize non-compliance and possible fines by MCMC.  

 

 

We are exposed to risks relating to content downloaded or uploaded by its subscribers

 

Mobile communications providers may be subject to third party allegations of intellectual property rights infringement with regards to content downloaded or uploaded by its subscribers. There can be no assurance that our subscribers do not and will not infringe the intellectual property rights of others.

 

In some instances, these third party allegations may have progressed to lawsuits alleging infringement of patent and other rights. Any such allegations, whether or not meritorious, could result in costly litigation and divert the efforts of our personnel. While we continuously seek appropriate assurances and indemnification from vendors, if it is ultimately determined that a third party has enforceable intellectual property rights with respect to our products and services, it may adversely affect our results of operations or prevent us from offering our services.

 

If we are found liable for infringement, we may be required to other into licensing agreements (if available on acceptable terms or at all) or pay damages and cease selling certain products and services. In addition, we may need to redesign some of our product and service offerings to avoid future infringement liabilities.  

 

 

Concerns about alleged mobile telecommunications health risk

 

Certain reports, albeit not conclusive, indicate that radio frequency emissions from mobile handsets and other mobile equipment may have an adverse effect on the health of mobile telephone users and others. The issuances of such reports in the future could adversely affect the market price of the shares of mobile telecommunications service providers, including ours, and the actual or perceived risk of mobile telecommunications devices could adversely affect mobile operators such as ours through reduced subscriber growth, reduction in subscribers or reduced usage per subscriber.

RISKS RELATING TO MALAYSIA

 

Developments in Asia and globally may negatively impact our MVNO operation

 

The global economy though expanded at a modest pace in 2013 was riled with the increase in payroll tax and the automatic government spending cuts in US and the uncertainties emanating from the crisis in Cyprus. To a certain extent, the Malaysian economy was affected but was driven by the continued strong growth in domestic demand. The Malaysian economy expanded by 4.7% in 2013 (2012: 5.6%) with GDP recorded at 4.7% (2012: 5.6%).¹ Further adverse economic developments globally and in Asia could have a material adverse effect on the Group’s financial condition and results of operation.

 

1. As operators consider new growth opportunities in a widening digital society, they face increasing pressure to occupy new value chain roles that can help them cement customer relationships and drive incremental revenue growth. In a world where disruption is the new normal, operators should consider new ways of emulating the success of over-the-top (OTT) services while also making the most of new ecosystems supporting enterprise customers and Internet of Things services.

 

2. Operators’ ability to respond to new customer needs has never been under more scrutiny. In an age when customer demand scenarios are increasingly shaped by over-the-top (OTT) providers and web giants, operators are under pressure to shorten time to market for new services while engaging more proactively with partners and suppliers. Progress demands the transformation of both people and processes, with a focus on improving internal collaboration and overhauling legacy IT systems to create more customer-centric organizations.

Political, economic and social developments or other changes in tax law or other regulations in Malaysia may adversely affect our MVNO operation

 

Our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by political, economic, social and legal developments in Malaysia. Such political and economic uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the risks of war, terrorism, nationalism or nullification of contract, changes in interest rates and methods of taxation. Negative developments in Malaysia’s socio-political environment may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, changes in tax laws or other regulations or actions taken by the Government to partially or wholly nationalize our operation or our operating assets could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

STOCK OPTIONS

During the year, we had one effective equity compensation plan. The detail of the equity compensation plan is set out below.

 

2007 Stock Incentive Plan

 

On February 19, 2007, our Board of Directors authorized and approved the adoption of the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan effective the same date (the "2007 Stock Incentive Plan").

 

The purpose of the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan is to enhance our long-term stockholder value by offering opportunities to our directors, officers, employees and eligible consultants to acquire and maintain stock ownership in order to give these persons the opportunity to participate in our growth and success, and to encourage them to remain in our service.

 

The 2007 Stock Incentive Plan is to be administered by our Board of Directors or a committee ("Plan Administrator") appointed by and consisting of two or more members of our Board of Directors, which shall determine (i) the persons to be granted stock options under the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan; (ii) the number of shares subject to each option, the exercise price of each stock option; and (iii) whether the stock option shall be exercisable at any time during the option period of ten years or whether the stock option shall be exercisable in installments or by vesting only. The 2007 Stock Incentive Plan provides authorization to the Board of Directors to grant stock options to purchase a total number of shares, not exceed 38,400,000 shares as at the date of adoption by the Board of Directors. At the time a stock option is granted under the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan, the Board of Directors shall fix and determine the exercise price at which shares of our Common Stock may be acquired.

 

In the event an optionee ceases to be employed by or to provide services to us for reasons other than cause, retirement, disability or death, any stock option that is vested and held by such optionee generally may be exercisable for such period of time thereafter as shall be determined by the Plan Administrator and set forth in the documents evidencing the option. The Plan Administrator shall have complete discretion either at the time an option is granted or at any time while the option remains outstanding, to i) extend the period of time which the option is to be exercisable following the optionees cessation of service, but not beyond the expiration of the option term and/or ii) permit the option to be exercised after the cessation of employment of both vested and unvested options at the time of cessation of employment.

 

No stock options granted under the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan will be transferable by the optionee other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution following the optionee's death, and each stock option will be exercisable during the lifetime of the optionee subject to the option period of ten years or limitations described above. The options can be assigned in whole or in part during the Optionee's lifetime to one or more members of the optionee's immediate family, provided the assignment is connected to estate planning or pursuant to a domestic relations order.

 

The exercise price of a stock option granted pursuant to the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan shall be paid in full to us by delivery of consideration equal to the product of the number of shares multiplied by the exercise price. Any stock option settlement, including payment deferrals or payments deemed made by way of settlement of pre-existing indebtedness from the Company may be subject to such conditions, restrictions and contingencies as may be determined by the Plan Administrator.

 

The 2007 Stock Incentive Plan further provides that, subject to the provisions of the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan and prior Stockholder approval, the Board of Directors may grant to any key individuals who are our employees eligible to receive options, one or more incentive stock options to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock allotted by the Board of Directors (the "Incentive Stock Options"). The option price per share of Common Stock deliverable upon the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option shall be at least 100% of the fair market value of the Common Shares of the Company and in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an optionee who owns more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of our stock, shall not be less than 110% of the fair market value of our Common Stock. The option term of each Incentive Stock Option shall be determined by the Plan Administrator, which shall not commence sooner than from the date of grant and shall terminate no later than ten years from the date of grant of the Incentive Stock Option, except for optionee who owns more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of our stock whom shall terminate no later than five year from the date of grant of the Incentive Stock Option.

 

On March 8, 2007, we registered 38,400,000 shares underlying stock options under the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan with the SEC pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-8.

 

From 2007 to 2013 the Company issued a total of 6,522,309 shares under the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan.

 

From 2014 to 2016, the Company did not issue any shares under the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan.

 

In summary, as of December 31, 2016, (i) the Company has issued 6,522,309 shares under the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan, (ii) there are no outstanding stock options to purchase our Common Stock under the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan and, (iii) there are still 31,877,691 shares issuable under the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan.

ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

 

No repurchases of our Common Stock were made during the fourth quarter and during our fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.

 

 

PENNY STOCK REGULATIONS

 

Shares of our Common Stock are subject to rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in "penny stocks". Penny stocks are generally 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 those 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, deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission, which contains the following:

 

- a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading;

- a description of the broker's or dealer's duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to violation to such duties or other requirements of securities' laws;

- a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including "bid" and "ask" prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the "bid" and "ask" price;

- a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions;

- definitions of significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and

- such other information and is in such form (including language, type, size and format), as the Securities and Exchange Commission shall require by rule or regulation

 

Prior to effecting any transaction in penny stock, the broker-dealer also must provide the customer the following:

- the bid and offer quotations for the penny stock;

- the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction;

- the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and

- monthly account statements showing 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 acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitably statement. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for a stock that becomes subject to the penny stock rules. Holders of shares of our Common Stock may have difficulty selling those shares because our Common Stock will probably be subject to the penny stock rules.

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

 

The following discussion of our financial condition and our subsidiaries and our results of operations should be read together with the consolidated financial statements and related notes that are included later in this Annual Report on Form 10- K. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth under Risk Factors or in other parts of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

For the year ended December 31, 2016, from our continuing operations, our gross profit was $10,185 and our total operating expenses were $913,782, all of which were selling, general and administrative expenses. The operating expenses increased by $807,060 or 756% for the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to the year ended December 31, 2015. The increase of operating expenses is mainly due to the increase in staff cost and professional expenses. We also had $11,602 in other income, $194,947 in gain from disposal of a subsidiary, $160,000 in interest expenses so that the net loss to our shareholders before non-controlled interests for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $857,048. For the year ended December 31, 2015, from our continuing operations, our gross profit was $7,335 and our total operating expenses were $106,722, all of which were selling, general and administrative expenses. We also had $271 in other income, $5,091,189 in gain from disposal of subsidiaries, $160,000 in interest expenses and loss from discontinued operations of $2,357,038 so that the net income to our shareholders before non-controlled interests for the year ended December 31, 2015 was $2,370,343.

 

The Group did not have any operations held for sale in 2016. For the year ended December 31, 2015, from our operation held for sale, our gross loss was $498,091 and our total operating expenses were $999,752, all of which were general and administrative expenses. We also had $207,616 in interest expenses, loss on foreign exchange of $722,031 and other income of $70,452 so that the net loss from our operations held for sale for the year ended December 31, 2015 was $2,357,038 (Note 6).      

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As at December 31, 2016, the Company had cash and cash equivalents totaling $797,230. Also as at December 31, 2016, the Company’s total assets was $913,440 consisting of other assets of $6,587, deposits and prepayments of $107,394, and amount due from a relate party of $2,229. We also had current liabilities of $1,458,692 which were represented by $651,880 in other payables and accruals, $806,812 in amounts due to related parties as of December 31, 2016. We also had $2,000,000 in long-term shareholders loan as of December 31, 2016, making our total liabilities $3,458,692.

 

At present the Company does not have sufficient cash resources to provide for all general corporate operations in the foreseeable future. The Company will be required to raise additional capital in order to continue and expand its operations in fiscal 2017.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The cash balance at December 31, 2016 was $797,230. During the year the Company raised $1,320,000 by issuing 120,000,000 shares in the Company at $0.011 per share. There was no significant investing activity in 2016. The Company intends to monitor the monthly cash outlays in the coming months to conserve cash until additional financing can be received through other funding. We recorded a net loss of $857,048 before non-controlling interests for the year which included a gain of $194,947 from the disposal of a subsidiary.  

 

At present the Company does not have sufficient cash resources and cash flow from operations to provide for the planned roll out of its operations. In late 2016 the Company changed its focus to contract out the MVNO platform. It signed a Master Distribution Agreement for this purpose so that we would solely focus on the marketing of telecom and payment services This new business focus requires injection of funds for marketing and distribution. The Company will be required to raise further funds to meet its other liabilities and operation requirements by i) selling its Common Stock ii) raise from the capital or debt markets, or iii) sell additional assets.

 

 

Going Concern

 

The Company's financial statements are presented on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

 

As of December 31, 2016, the Company has an accumulated deficits totaling $6,519,665 and its current liabilities exceed its current assets by $545,252. The Company has also experienced an operating loss in 2016 of $857,048 before the gain on disposal of a subsidiary of $194,947.

 

The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon its ability to secure additional financing and attain profitable operations. In addition, the Company's ability to continue as a going concern must be considered in light of the problems, expenses and complications frequently encountered in developing markets and the competitive environment in which the Company operates.

 

The Company is pursuing financing for its operations and seeking additional investments. In addition, the Company is seeking to develop and become a telecom and payment service provider under an MVNO platform in Malaysia. Failure to secure such financing, to raise additional equity capital and to develop its operations may result in the Company depleting its available funds and not being able pay its obligations.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and make estimates and assumptions that affect our reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and the related disclosures of contingent liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable in the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

The following critical accounting policies affect our more significant estimates and assumptions used in preparing our consolidated financial statements.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to employees for services based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued and accounts for equity instruments issued to other than employees based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments, whichever is more reliably measurable.

 

The Company accounts for stock based compensation in accordance with ASC 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation” which, prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all stock-based payments award to employees, including employee stock options, restricted stock, employee stock purchase plans and stock appreciation rights, may be classified as either equity or liabilities. The Company should determine if a present obligation to settle the share-based payment transaction in cash or other assets exists. A present obligation to settle in cash or other assets exists if: (a) the option to settle by issuing equity instruments lacks commercial substance or (b) the present obligation is implied because of an entity’s past practices or stated policies. If a present obligation exists, the transaction should be recognized as a liability; otherwise, the transaction should be recognized as equity.

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation issued to non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provisions of ASC 505-50 “Equity –Based Payments to Non-Employees”. Measurement of share-based payment transactions with non-employees shall be based on the fair value of whichever is more reliably measurable: (a) the goods or services received; or (b) the equity instruments issued. The fair value of the share-based payment transaction should be determined at the earlier of performance commitment date or performance completion date.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

Recently issued accounting pronouncements and their effect on us are discussed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements in our December 31, 2016 audited financial statements.

For the reports for the two most recent fiscal years, there were no disagreements with HKCMCPA Company Limited on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure as covered by Item 304 (a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of HKCMCPA Company Limited would have caused them to make reference thereto in their report on the financial statements for such years.

 

 

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our current Chief Executive Officer, Andrew Hwan Lee, and our Chief Financial Officer, Mohd Suhaimi bin Rozali, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act as of a date (the "Evaluation Date") within ninety (90) days prior to the filing of our December 31, 2015 Form 10-K.

 

Based upon that evaluation, our Management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2016, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in timely alerting management to the material information relating to us (or our consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in our periodic filings with the SEC.

 

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

(a) Management’s Annual 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.

 

 

- 28 -

 


 

 

A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the registrant’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

 

Our management, with the participation of its CEO and President, assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016. In making this assessment, we used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of The Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on that assessment under such criteria, management concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of December 31, 2016 due to control deficiencies that constituted material weaknesses. A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

 

In the course of making our assessment of the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting, we identified one material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. This material weakness consisted of inadequate staffing within the accounting operations of our Company. The small number of employees who are responsible for accounting functions (more specifically, two in our subsidiary accounting department) prevents us from segregating duties within our internal control system. The inadequate segregation of duties is a weakness because it could lead to the untimely identification and resolution of accounting and disclosure matters or could lead to a failure to perform timely and effective reviews.

 

We are in the process of developing and implementing remediation plans to address our material weaknesses.

 

Management has identified specific remedial actions to address the material weaknesses described above:

 

* Improve the effectiveness of the accounting group by continuing to augment our existing resources with additional consultants or employees to improve segregation procedures and to assist in the analysis and recording of complex accounting transactions and preparation of tax disclosures. We plan to mitigate the segregation of duties issues by hiring additional personnel in the accounting department once we have achieved positive cash flow from operations, and/or have raised significant additional working capital.

* Improve segregation procedures by strengthening cross approval of various functions including cash disbursements and quarterly internal audit procedures where appropriate.

 

Due to its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are bject 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. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

 

 

Changes in Controls and Procedures

 

There were no significant changes made in our internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect these controls. us, no corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies or material weaknesses were necessary.

 

 

Attestation Report of the Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. We were not required to ve, nor have we, engaged our independent registered public accounting firm to perform an audit of internal control over financial reporting pursuant to the rules of the Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

AUDIT COMMITTEE AND FINANCIAL EXPERT. The Committee has adopted regulations relating to audit committee composition and functions, including disclosure requirements relating to the presence of an "audit committee financial expert" serving on its audit committee. In connection with these requirements, our Board of Directors examined the Committee’s definition of "audit committee financial expert" and concluded that we do not currently have a person that qualifies as such an expert. Presently, there are only four directors serving on our Board of which two are in the audit committee, and we are not in a position at this time to attract, retain and compensate additional directors in order to acquire a director who qualifies as an "audit committee financial expert", but we intend to retain an additional director who will qualify as such an expert, as soon as reasonably practicable. While neither of our current audit committee members meet the qualification of an "audit committee financial expert", each of our audit committee members, by virtue of his past employment experience, has considerable knowledge of financial statements, finance, and accounting, and has significant employment experience involving financial oversight responsibilities. Accordingly, we believe that our current audit committee members capably fulfill the duties and responsibilities of an audit committee in the absence of such an expert.

 

SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE. Section 16(a) of the Securities Act of 1934 requires our directors, executive officers, and any persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission. SEC regulation requires executive officers, directors and greater than 10% stockholders to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely on our review of the copies of such forms received by us, or written representations from certain reporting persons, we believe that during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 our executive officers, directors, and greater than 10% stockholders complied with all applicable filing requirements.

 

CODE OF ETHICS. We have adopted a corporate code of ethics that applies to the Company's principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller or persons performing similar functions. The full text of our Code of Conduct is published on our website at www.mediangroupinc.com.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors
Median Group Inc.

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Median Group Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2016, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' deficits and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2016. 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 misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Median Group Inc. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2016, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2016, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred substantial losses this year, all of which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION

 

Median Group Inc. (the "Company") is a Texas corporation, incorporated on October 1, 2002.

 

In January 2006, the Company established a wholly owned subsidiary Ren Ren Media Group Limited, a company incorporated in Hong Kong, as its operating company in Hong Kong. In March 2007, the Company acquired all the outstanding shares of Good World Investments Limited, a British Virgin Islands corporation that holds 50% of Beijing Ren Ren Health Culture Promotion Limited, a company incorporated in China in the advertising and media business in China.

 

In May 2009, the Group established a 50/50 joint venture company, ATC Marketing Limited, which is to be in the business of marketing and distributing of convergent multimedia communication and internet devices.

 

In June 2012, the Company acquired 100% equity interests of A-Team Resources Sdn. Bhd. (“A-Team”), a distributor of electronics and light appliances, at a consideration price of $2,011,607 by the issuance of 558,779,837 shares, at a price of $0.0036 per share.

 

On January 15, 2014, the Company sold its subsidiaries namely Ren Ren Media Group Limited, A-Team Resources Sdn Bhd, Good World Investments Limited and Beijing Ren Ren Health Culture Promotion Limited (the “Disposed Subsidiaries”) containing its light appliances distribution business and advertising business in China.

 

On January 31, 2014, the Group closed the transaction to acquire 63.2% of Clixster Mobile Sdn. Bhd. (“CMSB”), a company incorporated in Malaysia in exchange of 10,193,609,664 shares of common stock of the Company. CMSB is a mobile virtual network provider and principally engaged in providing cellular and mobile broadband services in Malaysia. CMSB was treated as the acquirer for accounting purpose since the original stockholders of CMSB owned a majority (85%) of the shares of the Company’s common stock immediately following the completion of the transaction. CMSB was the legal acquiree but deemed to be the accounting acquirer. The Company was the legal acquirer but deemed to be the accounting acquiree in the reverse merger. The historical financial statements prior to the acquisition are those of the accounting acquirer (CMSB). Historical stockholders’ equity of the acquirer prior to the merger are retroactively restated (a recapitalization) for the equivalent number of shares received in the merger. Operations prior to the merger are those of the acquirer. After completion of the transaction, the Company’s consolidated financial statements include the assets and liabilities, the operations and cash flow of the Company and its subsidiaries.

 

During the year, on July 28, 2015, the Company disposed of its 63.2% of CMSB to refocus the business of the Group to sell post-paid rather than prepaid telecom services for the mobile network virtual operator (“MNVO”) operation, with a gain of approximately $5 million.

 

As announced in a Form 8-K on December 16, 2015 on December 11, 2015 the Company acquired a 51% interests in Naim Indah Mobile Communication Sdn. Bhd. (“NIMC”), a company engaged in providing mobile communication services through MVNO platform. NIMC has a registered capital of RM2,000,001 (or about US$480,000) of which the Company is required to pay RM1,000,001 (or about US$240,000) for its 51% interests. NIMC has an exclusive agreement with MyAngkasa Holdings Sdn. Bhd. (“MyAngkasa”) for the provision of telecom services to members of the National Cooperative Malaysia Bhd and known as Angkatan Koperasi Kebangsaan Malaysia Berhad (“Angkasa”). Further details can be found in Note 13 of the financial statements enclosed herein this report. The Company intends to focus on post-paid customers in working with Angkasa. Our director Ahmad Shukri Abudl Ghani is a 30% shareholder of NIMC. MyAngkasa is a shareholder of the Company holding 50 million shares or about 0.44% of the issued share capital of the Company.

 

During the year, in October 2016, the Company raised $1,320,000 from independent third parties by issuing 120,000,000 shares at $0.011 per share. This money raised was used for working capital.

 

During the year, on December 2, 2016, the Company disposed its 51% interest in NIMC for a fair market value of RM1,000,001 or about US$224,574 to a company owned by directors of the Company, and realized a gain of $194,947. ON or about the same date, our subsidiary company, Grid Mobile Sdn. Bhd. (“Grid Mobile”) entered into a Master Distribution Agreement with NICM whereby NIMC would appoint Grid Mobile to be its preferred distributor of its mobile products and services in Malaysia for two years. Under this Master Distribution Agreement, Grid Mobile would need to pay a refundable deposits of RM3,000,000 or about $668,747 to NIMC and Grid Mobile would not procure, engage or appoint any other company that offers the same services as NIMC. As at the date of this report the Group has not paid the RM3,000,000 refundable deposit.

NOTE 2 UNCERTAINTY OF ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN

 

The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared using the generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of December 31, 2016, the Company has an accumulated deficits totaling $6,519,665 and its current liabilities exceed its current assets by $545,252. In view of the matters described above, recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying balance sheets is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent upon the Company's ability to raise additional capital, obtain financing and to succeed in its future operations. 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 the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Management has taken steps to revise its operating and financial requirements, which it believes are sufficient to provide the Company with the ability to continue as a going concern. The Company is actively pursuing additional funding and potential merger or acquisition candidates and strategic partners, which would enhance stockholders' investment. Management believes that the above actions will allow the Company to continue operations through the next fiscal year.

NOTE 3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures

 

ASC 820 "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures" applies to all entities, transactions, and instruments that require or permit fair value measurements, with specific exceptions and qualifications. The Company is required to disclose estimated fair values of financial instruments. Unless otherwise indicated, the fair values of all reported assets and liabilities, which represent financial instruments, none of which are held for trading purposes, approximate are carrying values of such amounts.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost and represent cash on hand, demand deposits placed with banks or other financial institutions and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less as of the purchase date of such investments.

 

Trade Receivables

 

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The Company extends unsecured credit to its customers in the ordinary course of business but mitigates the associated risks by performing credit checks and actively pursuing past due accounts. An allowance for doubtful accounts is established and determined based on managements’ assessment of known requirements, aging of receivables, payment history, the customer’s current credit worthiness and the economic environment. The Company recorded no allowance for doubtful accounts for the years presented.

 

Income Taxes  

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740 “Income Taxes”. Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period the enactment occurs. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through future operations.

 

ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in their financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740, tax positions must initially be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions must initially and subsequently be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the position and relevant facts.

 

(a) Current Tax
 

Current tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

 

Current taxes are recognized in the statement of income except to the extent that the tax relates to items recognized outside the statement of income, either in other income or directly in equity.

 

(b) Deferred Tax
 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis 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. The Company records a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets if, based upon the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company.

A present obligation to settle in cash or other assets exists if: (a) the option to settle by issuing equity instruments lacks commercial substance or (b) the present obligation is implied because of an entity’s past practices or stated policies. If a present obligation exists, the transaction should be recognized as a liability; otherwise, the transaction should be recognized as equity.

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation issued to non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provisions of ASC 505-50 “Equity –Based Payments to Non-Employees”. Measurement of share-based payment transactions with non-employees shall be based on the fair value of whichever is more reliably measurable: (a) the goods or services received; or (b) the equity instruments issued. The fair value of the share-based payment transaction should be determined at the earlier of performance commitment date or performance completion date.

 

Employees' Pension Obligations

Recent Pronouncements

 

Recently Implemented Standards

 

The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and does not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on its financial condition or the results of its operations.

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (‘FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. ASU 2014-09 will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. In July 2015, the FASB approved a one-year deferral of the effective date of the new revenue recognition standard. The amendments in ASU 2014-09 are effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue versus Net). In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-11, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) - Rescission of SEC Guidance Because of ASU 2014-09 and 2014-16, and ASU 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) - Narrow Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients. These ASUs clarify the implementation guidance on a few narrow areas and adds some practical expedients to the guidance Topic 606. The Company is evaluating the effect the ASUs will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of these standards on its ongoing financial reporting.

 

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40) which provides guidance to an organization’s management, with principles and definitions that are intended to reduce diversity in the timing and content of disclosures that are commonly provided by organizations today in the financial statement footnotes. This guidance in ASU 2014-15 is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early application is permitted for annual or interim reporting periods for which the financial statements have not previously been issued. The Company does not expect that the adoption will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In November 2014, FASB issued ASU 2014-16, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Determining Whether the Host Contract in a Hybrid Financial Instrument Issued in the Form of a Share Is More Akin to Debt or to Equity (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). The amendments permit the use of the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (also referred to as the Overnight Index Swap Rate, or OIS) as a benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes. Public business entities are required to implement the new requirements in fiscal years (and interim periods within those fiscal years) beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2014-16 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02 Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis. ASU 2015-02 changes the analysis that a reporting entity must perform to determine whether it should consolidate certain types of legal entities. It is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2015-02 on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES & REALIZATION OF ASSETS (Continued)

 

Recent Pronouncements (Continued)

 

Recently Implemented Standards (continued)

 

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03 Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which changes the presentation of debt issuance costs in the financial statements. ASU 2015-03 requires an entity to present such costs in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than as an asset. Amortization of the costs will continue to be reported as interest expense. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The guidance will be applied retrospectively to each period presented. The adoption of this standard update is not expected to have any impact on the Company's financial statements.

 

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Inventory, which requires an entity to measure inventory within the scope at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The effective date for the standard is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2015-11 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments. To simplify the accounting for adjustments made to provisional amounts recognized in a business combination, the amendments eliminate the requirement to retrospectively account for those adjustments. For public business entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments should be applied prospectively to adjustments to provisional amounts that occur after the effective date with earlier application permitted for financial statements that have not been issued. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2015-16 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. To simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes, the amendments in this update require that deferred income tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. The amendments in ASU 2015-17 are effective for public business entities for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. The amendments may be applied prospectively to all deferred tax liabilities and assets or retrospectively to all periods presented. The Company does not expect that the adoption will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The amendments in this update require all equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in the fair value recognized through net income (other than those accounted for under equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee). The amendments in this update also require an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments. The amendments in ASU 2016-01 are effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect that the adoption will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The new standard establishes a right-of-use (“ROU”) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. The Company does not expect that the adoption will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-07, Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting, which eliminates the requirement to apply the equity method of accounting retrospectively when a reporting entity obtains significant influence over a previously held investment. The amendments in ASU 2016-07 are effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 including interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted. The new standard should be applied prospectively for investments that qualify for the equity method of accounting after the effective date. The Company does not expect that the adoption will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which includes amendments to accounting for income taxes at settlement, forfeitures, and net settlements to cover withholding taxes. The amendments in ASU 2016-09 are effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted but requires all elements of the amendments to be adopted at once rather than individually. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU No. 2016-09 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), which requires entities to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early application will be permitted for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. ASU 2016-15 clarifies the presentation and classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments in the statement of cash flows. This ASU is effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of ASU 2016-15 on its financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory. This ASU improves the accounting for the income tax consequences of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory. This ASU is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this ASU to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-17, Consolidation (Topic 810): Interests Held through Related Parties That Are Under Common Control. The amendments in this ASU change how a reporting entity that is the single decision maker of a variable interest entity should treat indirect interests in the entity held through related parties that are under common control with the reporting entity when determining whether it is the primary beneficiary of that variable interest entity. The ASU is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18 (ASU 2016-18), Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash. This ASU provides guidance on the classification of restricted cash in the statement of cash flows. The amendments in this ASU are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in the ASU should be adopted on a retrospective basis. The Company does not expect that adoption of this ASU to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

 

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

The gross deferred tax asset balance as at December 31, 2016 and 2015 was approximately $5,170,610 and $5,012,008, respectively. A full valuation allowance has been established against the deferred tax assets, as the utilization of the loss carry-forwards cannot reasonably be assured.

 

The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax of multiple state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company has not concluded all U.S. federal income tax matters for the years through fiscal 2016, with remaining fiscal years subject to income tax examination by federal tax authorities.

 

The Company’s policy is to recognize accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in its income tax provision. The Company has not accrued or paid interest or penalties which were material to its results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. The Company has adopted ASC 740-10 “Accounting for Income Taxes” and recorded a liability for an uncertain income tax position, tax penalties and any imputed interest thereon. The amount, recorded as an obligation, is $410,000 at December 31, 2016 (2015: $410,000).

 

A reconciliation between the income tax computed at the Malaysia statutory rate and the Company’s provision for income tax is as follows:

 

    2016   2015
         
Malaysia statutory rate   25%   25%
Tax allowance   -   -
Valuation allowance – Loss carryforward under Malaysia rate   (25%)   (25%)
         
Provision for income tax   -   -

 

As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, there were no material deferred tax assets or liabilities to be recognized.

NOTE 12 CONCENTRATIONS OF RISK

 

The Company is exposed to the following concentrations of risk:

 

(a) Major customers

 

For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 the customer who accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s revenues is presented as follows:

 

  2016   2016   2016   2015   2015   2015
  Revenue   Percentage of Revenue   Trade accounts Receivable   Revenue   Percentage of Revenue   Trade accounts Receivable
  US$       US$   US$       US$
Customer A 40,725   93.63%   -   -   -   -
Customer B -   -   -   26,546   55.81%   -
Customer C -   -   -   21,017   44.19%   6,970
Total: 40,725   93.63%   -   47,563   100%   6,970

 

(b) Major vendors

 

During the year, the Company was a provider of consulting services. In the opinion of the Board, it is therefore of no value to disclose details of the Company’s vendors.

 

(c) Credit risk

 

Financial instruments that are potentially subject to credit risk consist principally of trade receivables. The Company believes the concentration of credit risk in its trade receivables is substantially mitigated by its ongoing credit evaluation process and relatively short collection terms. The Company does not generally require collateral from customers. The Company evaluates the need for an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information.

 

(d) Exchange rate risk

 

The reporting currency of the Company is US$, to date the majority of the revenues and costs are denominated in MYR. As a result, the Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk as its revenues and results of operations may be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate between US$ and MYR. If MYR depreciates against US$, the value of MYR revenues and assets as expressed in US$ financial statements will decline. The Company does not hold any derivative or other financial instruments that expose to substantial market risk.

 

(e) Economic and political risks

 

Substantially all of the Company’s services are conducted in Malaysia. The Company’s operations are subject to various political, economic, and other risks and uncertainties inherent in Malaysia. Among other risks, the Company’s operations are subject to the risks of restrictions on transfer of funds; export duties, quotas, and embargoes; domestic and international customs and tariffs; changing taxation policies; foreign exchange restrictions; and political conditions and governmental regulations in Malaysia.

 

(f) Interest rate risks

 

As the Company has no significant interest-bearing assets, the Company’s income and operating cash flows are substantially independent of changes in market interest rates.

 

The Company’s interest-rate risk arises from shareholder loans. The Company manages interest rate risk by varying the issuance and maturity dates variable rate debt, limiting the amount of variable rate debt, and continually monitoring the effects of market changes in interest rates. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, shareholder loan was at fixed interest rate.
