There is a growing market in East Asia and South-East Asia of companies who are seeking to go public and become listed on a recognized exchange in a foreign jurisdiction. We see tremendous opportunity to the extent that this trend continues worldwide. With respect to cross border listing advisory services, we are assisting private companies in their desire to list and trade on public exchanges, including the U.S. OTC markets. The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, or JOBS Act, signed in 2012, eases the initial public offering (“IPO”) process for “emerging growth companies” and reduces their regulatory burden, (2) improves the ability of these companies to access capital through private offerings and small public offerings without SEC registration, and (3) allows private companies with a substantial shareholder base to delay becoming a public reporting company.

 

Through our cross border listing advisory services, we seek to form the bridge between these companies seeking to conduct their IPO (or in some cases self-directed public offerings), and their goal of becoming a listed company on a recognized U.S. national exchange, such as NASDAQ and the NYSE.

 

While there are several alternatives for companies seeking to go public and trade on the U.S. OTC markets, we primarily focus on three methods:

 

  Registration Statement on Form S-1
  Regulation A+ offering
  The Form 10 shell company

 

The manner in which the OTC markets are structured provides companies the ability to “uplist” in the marketplace as they provide better transparency. These markets include:

 

  OTCQX Best Marketplace: offers transparent and efficient trading of established, investor-focused U.S. and global companies.
  OTCQB Venture Marketplace: for early-stage and developing U.S. and international companies that are not yet able to qualify for OTCQX.
  OTC Pink Open Marketplace: offers trading in a wide spectrum of securities through any broker. With no minimum financial standards, this market includes foreign companies that limit their disclosure, penny stocks and shells, as well as distressed, delinquent, and dark companies not willing or able to provide adequate information to investors.

 

We act as a case reference for our clients, in which we first list on OTC market and subsequently “uplist” to a U.S. national exchange.

 

With growing competition and increasing economic sophistication, we believe more companies need strategies for cross-border restructuring and other corporate matters. Our plan is to bundle our Cross-Border Business Solution services with our Cloud Accounting Solution and Accounting Outsourcing Services described below.

 

Accounting Outsourcing Services

 

We intend to develop relationships with professional firms from Hong Kong, Malaysia and China that can provide company secretarial, business centers and virtual offices, book-keeping, tax compliance and planning, payroll management, business valuation, and wealth management services to our clients. We intend to include local accounting firms within this network to provide general accounting, financial evaluation and advisory services to our clients. Our expectation is that firms within our professional network will refer their international clients to us that may need our book-keeping, payroll, company secretarial and tax compliance services. We believe that this accounting outsourcing service arrangement will be beneficial to our clients by providing a convenient, one-stop firm for their local and international business and financial compliance and governance needs.

We intend to have a two-tiered rate system based upon the type of services being offered. We may impose project-based fees, where we charge 10% -25% of the revenues generated by the client on projects that are completed using our services, such as transaction projects, contract compliance projects, and business planning projects. We may also charge a flat rate fee or fixed fee based on the estimated complexity and timing of a project when our professionals provide specified expertise to our clients on a project. For example, for the cross-border business solutions, we plan to charge our client a monthly fixed fee.

 

Our Venture Capital Business Segment

 

Venture Capital Investment

 

As a result of our acquisition of Greenpro Venture Capital Limited (“GPVC”) in 2015, we entered the venture capital business in Hong Kong with a focus on companies located in Asia and South-East Asia, including Hong Kong, Malaysia, China, Thailand and Singapore. Our venture capital business is focused on (1) establishing a business incubator for start-up and high growth companies to support such companies during critical growth periods and (2) investment opportunities in select start-up and high growth companies.

 

We believe that a company’s life cycle can be divided into five stages, including the seed stage, start-up stage, expansion stage, mature stage and decline stage.

 

  Seed stage: Financing is needed for assets, and research and development of an initial business concept. The company usually has relatively low costs in developing the business idea. The ownership model is considered and implemented.
     
  Start-up stage: Financing is needed for product development and initial marketing. Firms in this phase may be in the process of setting up a business or they might have been in operating the business for a short period of time, but may not have sold their products commercially. In this phase, costs are increasing due to product development, market research and the need to recruit personnel. Low levels of revenues are starting to generate.
     
  Expansion stage: Financing is needed for growth and expansion. Capital may be used to finance increased production capacity, product or marketing development or to hire additional personnel. In the early expansion phase, sales and production increases but there is not yet any profit. In the later expansion stage, the business typically needs extra capital in addition to organically generated profit, for further development, marketing or product development.

 

We anticipate that most of a company’s funding needs will occur during these first three stages.

 

We intend for our business incubators to provide valuable support to young, emerging growth and potential high growth companies at critical junctures of their development. For example, our incubators will offer office space at a below market rental rate. We will also provide our expertise, business contacts, introductions and other resources to assist their development and growth. Depending on each individual circumstance, we may also take an active advisory role in our venture capital companies including board representation, strategic marketing, corporate governance, and capital structuring. We believe that there will be potential investment opportunities for us in these start-up companies.

 

 11 
 

 

Our business processes for our investment strategy in select start-up and high growth companies is as follows:

 

  Step 1. Generating Deal Flow: We expect to actively search for entrepreneurial firms and to generate deal flow through our business incubator and the personal contacts of our executive team. We also anticipate that entrepreneurs will approach us for financing.
     
  Step 2. Investment Decision: We will evaluate, examine and engage in due diligence of a prospective portfolio company, including but not limited to product/services viability, market potential and integrity as well as capability of the management. After that both parties arrive at an agreed value for the deal. Following that is a process of negotiation, which if successful, ends with capital transformation and restructuring.
     
  Step 3. Business Development and Value Adding: In addition to capital contribution, we expect to provide expertise, knowledge and relevant business contacts to the company.
     
  Step 4. Exit: There are several ways to exit an investment in a company. Common exits are:

 

  IPO (Initial Public Offering): The company’s shares are offered in a public sale on an established securities market.
     
  Trade sale (Acquisition): The entire company is sold to another company.
     
  Secondary sale: The company’s firm sells only part of its shares.
     
  Buyback or MBO: Either the entrepreneur or the management of the company buys back the company’s shares of the firm.
     
  Reconstruction, liquidation or bankruptcy: If the project fails the company will restructure or close down the operations.

 

 12 
 

 

Our objective for is to achieve a superior rate of return through the eventual and timely disposal of investments. We expect to look for businesses that meet the following criteria:

 

  high growth prospects
     
  ambitious teams
     
  viability of product or service
     
  experienced management
     
  ability to convert plans into reality
     
  justification of venture capital investment and investment criteria

 

Our Venture Capital Related Education and Support Services.

 

In addition to providing venture capital services through GPVC, we also provide educational and support services that we believe will be synergistic with our venture capital business. We have arranged few seminars called the CEO & Business Owners Strategic Session (“CBOSS”) in Malaysia and Singapore for business owners who are interested in the following:

 

  Developing their business globally;
     
  Expanding business with increased capital funding;
     
  Creating a sustainable SME business model;
     
  Accelerating the growth of the business; or
     
  Significantly increasing company cash flows.

 

The objective the CBOSS seminar is to educate the chief executive officers or business owners on how to acquire “smart capital” and the considerations involved. The seminar includes an introduction to the basic concepts of “smart capital,” “wealth and value creation,” recommendation and planning and similar topics. We believe that this seminar will synergistically support our venture capital business segment.

 

China Service Centres Expansion

 

With a population of 1.3 billion, China is the second largest economy and has been the largest contributor to world growth since the global financial crisis of 2008.

 

Figures released by a Hurun Report in 2016 shows that as of May 2016, there were almost 1.34 million High Net Worth Individuals (HNWIs) with a net worth exceeding RMB 10 million (USD 1.47 million) in the Chinese mainland, up 10.7% from prior year.

 

(Reference from: http://www.ebeijing.gov.cn/BeijingInformation/BeijingNewsUpdate/t1458502.htm)

 

Among those HNWIs, there are approximately 89,000 billionaires, reaching a 14.1% growth rate, which means the number of Chinese HNWIs accounts for 0.1%, according to the data from National Bureau of Statistics of the PRC. In 2016, the largest number of HNWIs resided in Guangdong Province, Beijing, Shanghai, Zhejiang Province and Jiangsu Province.

Tier 1 City in China

(Reference from: http://multimedia.scmp.com/2016/cities/)

 

Our expansion strategy is to establish service centres in the Tier 1 cities of Guangzhou, Beijing and Shanghai, where a majority of the HNWIs reside. The centres will cater to customers’ needs by providing and delivering professional, high quality service and assistance before, during, and after the customer’s requirements are met. Our strategy is to rent office space ranging from f 180 to 250 square meters (approximate 2,150 to 2,690 square feet) and recruiting a team of 10 people (estimated) in the first year of present in the city. The plan in each city would be based on various factors, such as property availability and job market conditions.

 

Sales and Marketing

 

We plan to deploy three strategies to market the Greenpro brand: leadership, market segmentation and sales management process development.

 

  Building Brand Image: Greenpro’s marketing efforts will focus on building the image of our extensive expertise and knowledge of our professionals. We intend to conduct a marketing campaign through media visibility, seminars, webinars, and the creation of a wide variety of white papers, newsletters, books, and other information.
     
  Market segmentation: We plan to devote marketing resources to the highly measurable and high return on investment tactics that specifically target those industries and areas where Greenpro has particularly deep experience and capabilities. These efforts typically involve local, regional or national trade show and event sponsorships, targeted direct mail, email, and telemarketing campaigns, and practice and industry specific micro-sites and newsletters in the Asia region.
     
  Social Media: We plan to begin a social media campaign utilizing blogs, Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn after we secure sufficient financing. A targeted campaign will be made to the following groups of clients: law firms, auditing firms, consulting firms and small to medium-size enterprises in different industries, including biotechnology, intellectual property, information technologies and real estate.

Worldwide Wealth Wisdom Development

 

Worldwide Wealth Wisdom Development (“WWW”) is our marketing and promotional campaign, which is focused on building long-term awareness of our brand. WWW targets the following markets (i) business owners and senior management; (ii) high and medium net worth individuals in China and (iii) financial services providers, such as Certified Financial Planners in China. The campaign involves sharing content, knowledge and information about wealth management, including wealth creation, wealth protection and wealth succession.

 

The objectives of WWW are:

 

1. To arouse public awareness resulting in the recognition of Greenpro as a well-known advocate of the wealth principles described above;
   
2. For our philosophy to gain recognition so that our clients are confident and comfortable with our services and trust us;
   
3. To educate existing clients and potential prospects; and
   
4. To act as a channel of communication to gather market data and feedback.

 

Set forth below are the marketing strategies that we expect to develop.

 

 

Awareness & Optimization

 

1. Email Blasts and E-Newsletter

 

Email blasts are one of the commonly used tactics to disseminate information. Our email database will be collected through leads generated by online marketing (social media) and promotional events. Future event invitations and monthly/quarterly newsletters will be sent to the email database in order to boost event participation and provide updates on Company development.

 

2. Media PR and News Releases

 

Our post event information will be sent to news and media platforms as part of our publicity effort to increase public awareness about our events and developments, and to encourage more participants to join our upcoming events. We will also share our analysis on various industries and industry trends to the media network providers for free. We believe that this strategy will strengthen the relationship between Greenpro and the media network providers.

 

3. Social Media

 

To generate more leads and subscribers, two to four articles related to wealth management will be shared in our official Wechat account. These articles are tools we use to share content online, through social media platforms such as Wechat, Toutiao and Facebook, which increases our online presence.

 

4. Online Search Engine Optimization

 

Online Search Engine Optimization (SEO) will be used as a supporting strategy to enhance our online presence campaign. We will seek a SEO expert team in China and Malaysia to assist in the promotion of the campaign by using an advertising and keyword tagging strategy to drive traffic to our social media accounts and our company website. The major search engines are Baidu and Google as these are the common search engine worldwide.

 

Interaction & Conversion

 

1. Seminars and Conferences

 

Seminars and conferences will be held once a month to deliver and educate the attendees on wealth management. We target between 80 and 100 attendees each time. We intend to invite professionals and strategic partners to share their ideas, resources and knowhow in the seminars and conferences. The seminars and conferences will focus on our three core wealth management principles, namely “Wealth Creation, Wealth Protection and Wealth Succession”.

 

2. Private Events By Invitation

 

Private and exclusive events are planned to be held quarterly with a target between 30 and 40 attendees. These events are exclusive and by-invitation only, at which we will share insights into our services and explain to attendees how they can proceed with wealth management planning.

 

3. Small Group Meet Ups and Networking

 

Small Group Meet Ups will be held twice a month targeting the public with an estimated five to ten attendees per session. The objective of these sessions is to encourage idea exchanges, to provide a platform for networking and potentially future collaboration opportunities, and foster better understanding between the participants and us, as well as among themselves.

Market Opportunities

 

We believe the main drivers for the growth of our business are the products and services together with the resources such as an office network, professional staff members and operational tools to make the advisory and consulting business more competitive.

 

We intend to assist our clients in the cost-effective preparation of their financial statements and provide security based on such financial information since the data will be stored in the cloud system. We anticipate a market with growing needs in East Asia and South-East Asia. We believe that there is currently an increasing need for enterprises in different industries to maximize their performance with cost-effective methods. We believe our services will create numerous competitive advantages for our clients. We believe that with us handling the administrative and logistic support, our clients can focus on developing their businesses and expanding their own client portfolio.

 

Customers

 

Our revenues are generated from clients located globally, including those from Hong Kong, China, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, Australia, Japan, Taiwan, Russia and the United States. Our venture capital business will initially focus on Hong Kong and South-East Asia start-ups and high growth companies. We hope to generate deal flow through personal contacts of our management team as well as through our business incubator.

 

We generated net revenues of $3,916,372 during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 and $3,091,735 during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016. Our venture capital business accounted for approximately eleven percent of our net revenue. We are not a party to any long-term agreements with our customers.

 

Competition

 

We operate in a mature, competitive industry. We consider our focus to be on a niche market of small and medium-sized businesses. Competition in the general field of business advisory services is quite intense, particularly in Hong Kong. We face competition principally from established law firms and consulting service providers in the corporate finance industry, such as Marbury, King & Wood Mallesons, QMIS Financial Group, First Asia Finance Group Limited and their respective affiliates, as well as from certain accounting firms, including those that specialize in a tax planning and corporate restructuring. The competition in China and Malaysia is not as fierce as in Hong Kong. Our major competitors in China are JP Investment Group and QMIS Financial Group while our major competitors in Malaysia are Global Bridge Management Sdn. Bhd. and QMIS Financial Group. These competitors generate significant traffic and have established brand recognition and financial resources. New or existing competition that uses a business model that is different from our business model may apply pressure on us to change so that we can remain competitive.

 

We believe that the principal competitive factors in our market include quality of analysis; applicability and efficacy of recommendations; strength and depth of relationships with clients; ability to meet the changing needs of current and prospective clients; and service scope. By utilizing our competitive strengths, we believe that we have a competitive edge over other competitors due to the breadth of our service offerings, one stop convenience, pricing, marketing expertise, coverage network, service levels, track record, brand and reputation. We are confident we can retain and enlarge our market share.

 

Intellectual Property

 

We intend to protect our investment in the research and development of our products and technologies. We intend to seek the widest possible protection for significant product and process developments in our major markets through a combination of trade secrets, trademarks, copyrights and patents, if applicable. We anticipate that the form of protection will vary depending upon the level of protection afforded by a particular jurisdiction. Currently, our revenue is derived principally from our operations in Hong Kong, China and Malaysia, where intellectual property protection may be limited and difficult to enforce. In such instances, we may seek protection of our intellectual property through measures taken to increase the confidentiality of intellectual property.

 

We have registered trademarks as a means of protecting the brand names of our companies and products. We intend to protect our trademarks against infringement and also seek to register design protection where appropriate. Currently, there are six trademarks registered under the name of Greenpro Resources (HK) Limited.

We rely on trade secrets and un-patentable know-how that we seek to protect, in part, by confidentiality agreements. Our policy is to require all employees to execute confidentiality agreements upon the commencement of employment with us. These agreements provide that all confidential information developed or made known to the individual during the course of the individual’s relationship with us is to be kept confidential and not disclosed to third parties except in specific limited circumstances. The agreements also provide that all inventions conceived by the individual while rendering services to us shall be assigned to us as the exclusive property of our company. There can be no assurance, however, that all persons who we desire to sign such agreements will sign, or if they do, that these agreements will not be breached, that we would have adequate remedies for any breach, or that our trade secrets or unpatentable know-how will not otherwise become known or be independently developed by competitors.

 

Government Regulation

 

We provide our Package Solution initially in Hong Kong, China and Malaysia, which we believe are locations that would need outsourcing support services. Further, we believe these markets are the central and regional markets for many customers doing cross border business in Asia. We target those customers from East Asia and South-East Asia doing international business and plan to provide our Package Solution to meet their needs. Our planned Packaged Solution will be structured in Hong Kong but services may be outsourced to lower cost jurisdictions such as Malaysia and China, which encourage and welcome outsourcing services.

 

The following regulations are the laws and regulations that may be applicable to us:

 

Hong Kong

 

Our businesses located in Hong Kong are subject to the general laws in Hong Kong governing businesses, including labor, occupational safety and health, general corporations, intellectual property and other similar laws. Because our website is maintained through the server in Hong Kong, we expect that we will be required to comply with the rules of regulations of Hong Kong governing the data usage and regular terms of service applicable to our potential customers. As the information of our potential customers is preserved in Hong Kong, we will need to comply with the Hong Kong Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (Cap 486).

 

The Employment Ordinance is the main piece of legislation governing conditions of employment in Hong Kong. It covers a comprehensive range of employment protection and benefits for employees, including Wage Protection, Rest Days, Holidays with Pay, Paid Annual Leave, Sickness Allowance, Maternity Protection, Statutory Paternity Leave, Severance Payment, Long Service Payment, Employment Protection, Termination of Employment Contract, Protection Against Anti-Union Discrimination.

 

An employer must also comply with all legal obligations under the Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Ordinance, (Cap 485). These include enrolling all qualifying employees in Mandatory Provident Fund (“MPF”) schemes and making MPF contributions for them. Except for exempt persons, employer should enroll both full-time and part-time employees who are at least 18 but under 65 years of age in an MPF scheme within the first 60 days of employment. The 60-day employment rule does not apply to casual employees in the construction and catering industries.

 

We are required to make MPF contributions for our Hong Kong employees once every contribution period (generally the wage period). Employers and employees are each required to make regular mandatory contributions of 5% of the employee’s relevant income to an MPF scheme, subject to the minimum and maximum relevant income levels. For a monthly-paid employee, the minimum and maximum relevant income levels are $7,100 and $30,000 respectively.

 

We are in compliance with the above applicable ordinances and regulations in Hong Kong and have not involved any lawsuit or prosecuted by the local authority resulting from any breach of the ordinances and regulations.

 

Malaysia

 

Our businesses located in Malaysia are subject to the general laws in Malaysia governing businesses including labor, occupational safety and health, general corporations, intellectual property and other similar laws including the Computer Crime Act 1997 and The Copyright (Amendment) Act 1997. We believe that the focus of these laws is censorship in Malaysia, however we believe this does not impact our businesses because the censorship focus is on media controls and does not relate to cloud based technology we plan to use.

 

Our real estate investments are subject to extensive local, city, county and state rules and regulations regarding permitting, zoning, subdivision, utilities and water quality as well as federal rules and regulations regarding air and water quality and protection of endangered species and their habitats. Such regulation may result in higher than anticipated administrative and operational costs.

 

We are in compliance with the above applicable ordinances and regulations in Malaysia and have not involved any lawsuit or prosecuted by the local authority resulting from any breach of the ordinances and regulations.

 

 17 
 

 

China

 

A portion of our acquired businesses is located in China and subject to the general laws in China governing businesses including labor, occupational safety and health, general corporations, intellectual property and other similar laws.

 

Employment Contracts

 

The Employment Contract Law was promulgated by the National People’s Congress’ Standing Committee on June 29, 2007 and took effect on January 1, 2008. The Employment Contract Law governs labor relations and employment contracts (including the entry into, performance, amendment, termination and determination of employment contracts) between domestic enterprises (including foreign-invested companies), individual economic organizations and private non-enterprise units (collectively referred to as the “employers”) and their employees.

 

a. Execution of employment contracts

 

Under the Employment Contract Law, an employer is required to execute written employment contracts with its employees within one month from the commencement of employment. In the event of contravention, an employee is entitled to receive double salary for the period during which the employer fails to execute an employment contract. If an employer fails to execute an employment contract for more than 12 months from the commencement of the employee’s employment, an employment contract would be deemed to have been entered into between the employer and employee for a non-fixed term.

 

b. Right to non-fixed term contracts

 

Under the Employment Contract Law, an employee may request for a non-fixed term contract without an employer’s consent to renew. In addition, an employee is also entitled to a non-fixed term contract with an employer if he has completed two fixed term employment contracts with such employer; however, such employee must not have committed any breach or have been subject to any disciplinary actions during his employment. Unless the employee requests to enter into a fixed term contract, an employer who fails to enter into a non-fixed term contract pursuant to the Employment Contract Law is liable to pay the employee double salary from the date the employment contract is renewed.

 

c. Compensation for termination or expiry of employment contracts

 

Under the Employment Contract Law, employees are entitled to compensation upon the termination or expiry of an employment contract. Employees are entitled to compensation even in the event the employer (i) has been declared bankrupt; (ii) has its business license revoked; (iii) has been ordered to cease or withdraw its business; or (iv) has been voluntarily liquidated. Where an employee has been employed for more than one year, the employee will be entitled to such compensation equivalent to one month’s salary for every completed year of service. Where an employee has employed for less than one year, such employee will be deemed to have completed one full year of service.

 

d. Trade union and collective employment contracts

 

Under the Employment Contract Law, a trade union may seek arbitration and litigation to resolve any dispute arising from a collective employment contract; provided that such dispute failed to be settled through negotiations. The Employment Contract Law also permits a trade union to enter into a collective employee contract with an employer on behalf of all the employees.

 

 18 
 

 

Where a trade union has not been formed, a representative appointed under the recommendation of a high-level trade union may execute the collective employment contract. Within districts below county level, collective employment contracts for industries such as those engaged in construction, mining, food and beverage and those from the service sector, etc., may be executed on behalf of employees by the representatives from the trade union of each respective industry. Alternatively, a district-based collective employment contract may be entered into.

 

As a result of the Employment Contract Law, all of our employees have executed standard written employment agreements with us. We have not experienced any significant labor disputes or any difficulties in recruiting staff for our operations.

 

On October 28, 2010, the National People’s Congress of China promulgated the PRC Social Insurance Law, which became effective on July 1, 2011. In accordance with the PRC Social Insurance Law, the Interim Regulations on the Collection and Payment of Social Security Fund and other relevant laws and regulations, China establishes a social insurance system including basic pension insurance, basic medical insurance, work-related injury insurance, unemployment insurance and maternity insurance. An employer shall pay the social insurance for its employees in accordance with the rates provided under relevant regulations and shall withhold the social insurance that should be assumed by the employees. The authorities in charge of social insurance may request an employer’s compliance and impose sanctions if such employer fails to pay and withhold social insurance in a timely manner. Under the Regulations on the Administration of Housing Fund effective in 1999, as amended in 2002, PRC companies must register with applicable housing fund management centers and establish a special housing fund account in an entrusted bank. Both PRC companies and their employees are required to contribute to the housing funds.

 

The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security promulgated the Interim Provisions on Labor Dispatch on January 24, 2014. The Interim Provisions on Labor Dispatch, which became effective on March 1, 2014, sets forth that labor dispatch should only be applicable to temporary, auxiliary or substitute positions. Temporary positions shall mean positions subsisting for no more than six months, auxiliary positions shall mean positions of non-major business that serve positions of major businesses, and substitute positions shall mean positions that can be held by substitute employees for a certain period of time during which the employees who originally hold such positions are unable to work as a result of full-time study, being on leave or other reasons. The Interim Provisions further provides that, the number of the dispatched workers of an employer shall not exceed 10% of its total workforce, and the total workforce of an employer shall refer to the sum of the number of the workers who have executed labor contracts with the employer and the number of workers who are dispatched to the employer.

 

Foreign Exchange Control and Administration

 

Foreign exchange in China is primarily regulated by:

 

  The Foreign Currency Administration Rules (1996), as amended; and
     
  The Administration Rules of the Settlement, Sale and Payment of Foreign Exchange (1996), or the Administration Rules.

 

Under the Foreign Currency Administration Rules, if documents certifying the purposes of the conversion of RMB into foreign currency are submitted to the relevant foreign exchange conversion bank, the RMB will be convertible for current account items, including the distribution of dividends, interest and royalties payments, and trade and service-related foreign exchange transactions. Conversion of RMB for capital account items, such as direct investment, loans, securities investment and repatriation of investment, however, is subject to the approval of SAFE or its local counterpart.

 

Under the Administration Rules for the Settlement, Sale and Payment of Foreign Exchange, foreign-invested enterprises may only buy, sell and/or remit foreign currencies at banks authorized to conduct foreign exchange business after providing valid commercial documents and, in the case of capital account item transactions, obtaining approval from SAFE or its local counterpart.

 

 19 
 

 

As an offshore holding company with a PRC subsidiary, we may (i) make additional capital contributions to our PRC subsidiaries, (ii) establish new PRC subsidiaries and make capital contributions to these new PRC subsidiaries, (iii) make loans to our PRC subsidiaries or consolidated affiliated entities, or (iv) acquire offshore entities with business operations in China in offshore transactions. However, most of these uses are subject to PRC regulations and approvals. For example:

 

  Capital contributions to our PRC subsidiaries, whether existing or newly established ones, must be approved by the Ministry of Commerce or its local counterparts;
     
  Loans by us to our PRC subsidiaries, each of which is a foreign-invested enterprise, to finance their activities cannot exceed statutory limits and must be registered with SAFE or its local branches; and
     
  Loans by us to our consolidated affiliated entities, which are domestic PRC entities, must be approved by the National Development and Reform Commission and must also be registered with SAFE or its local branches.

 

On August 29, 2008, SAFE promulgated the Circular on the Relevant Operating Issues concerning the Improvement of the Administration of Payment and Settlement of Foreign Currency Capital of Foreign-invested Enterprises, or “Circular 142”. On March 30, 2015, SAFE issued the Circular of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange Concerning Reform of the Administrative Approaches to Settlement of Foreign Exchange Capital of Foreign-invested Enterprises, or “Circular 19”, which became effective on June 1, 2015, to regulate the conversion by foreign invested enterprises, or FIEs, of foreign currency into RMB by restricting how the converted RMB may be used. Circular 19 requires that RMB converted from the foreign currency-dominated capital of a FIE shall be managed under the Accounts for FX settlement and pending payment. The expenditure scope of such Account includes: expenditure within the business scope, payment of funds for domestic equity investment and RMB deposits, repayment of the RMB loans after completed utilization and so forth. A FIE shall truthfully use its capital by itself within the business scope and shall not, directly or indirectly, use its capital or RMB converted from the foreign currency-dominated capital for (i) expenditure beyond its business scope or expenditure prohibited by laws or regulations, (ii) disbursing RMB entrusted loans (unless permitted under its business scope), repaying inter-corporate borrowings (including third-party advance) and repaying RMB bank loans already refinanced to any third party. Where a FIE, other than a foreign-invested investment company, foreign-invested venture capital enterprise or foreign-invested equity investment enterprise, makes domestic equity investment by transferring its capital in the original currency, it shall obey the current provisions on domestic re-investment. Where such a FIE makes domestic equity investment by its RMB conversion, the invested enterprise shall first go through domestic re-investment registration and open a corresponding Accounts for FX settlement and pending payment, and the FIE shall thereafter transfer the conversion to the aforesaid Account according to the actual amount of investment. In addition, according to the Regulations of the People’s Republic of China on Foreign Exchange Administration, which became effective on August 5, 2008, the use of foreign exchange or RMB conversion may not be changed without authorization.

 

Violations of the applicable circulars and rules may result in severe penalties, including substantial fines as set forth in the Foreign Exchange Administration Regulations.

 

In light of the various requirements imposed by PRC regulations on loans to and direct investment in PRC entities by offshore holding companies, we cannot assure you that we will be able to complete the necessary government registrations or obtain the necessary government approvals on a timely basis, if at all, with respect to future loans to our PRC subsidiary or future capital contributions by us to our PRC subsidiary. If we fail to complete such registrations or obtain such approvals, our ability to capitalize or otherwise fund our PRC operations may be negatively affected, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand our business.

 

We are in compliance with the above applicable ordinances and regulations in China and have not involved any lawsuit or prosecuted by the local authority resulting from any breach of the ordinances and regulations.

 

Insurance

 

We do not current maintain property, business interruption and casualty insurance. As our business matures, we expect to obtain such insurance in accordance with customary industry practices in Malaysia, Hong Kong and China, as applicable.

 

Seasonality

 

Our businesses are not subject to seasonality.

Comparison of the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016

 

Total Revenues

 

Total revenue was $3,916,372 and $3,091,735 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The increased amount of $824,637 was due to the broadening of the range of business services offered and the increase in our client base. We expect revenue from our business services segment to increase as we continue to grow our business and expand into new territories.

 

Rental Revenue

 

Revenue from rentals was $178,682 and $100,143 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. It was derived principally from leasing properties in Malaysia and Hong Kong. We believe our rental income will be stable in the near future.

 

Sale of properties

 

Revenue from the sale of properties was $423,871 for the year ended December 31, 2017, which was derived from the sale of certain commercial properties located in Hong Kong. There was no revenue generated from the sale of properties for the year ended December 31, 2016.

 

As opportunities permit, management expects to continue to purchase and sell commercial real estate in the near future. Accordingly, we expect revenue and costs attributable to the sale of properties to fluctuate on a going forward basis.

 

 25 
 

 

Service Revenue

 

Revenue from the provision of business services was $3,313,819 and $2,991,592 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. It was derived principally from the provision of business consulting and advisory services as well as company secretarial, accounting and financial review services. We experienced an increase in service income as a result of our integration of clients in connection with our acquisitions and increased focus on high-end services.

 

Total Operating Costs and Expenses

 

Total operating costs and expenses was $6,737,418 and $3,059,600 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. They consist of cost of service revenue, cost of properties sold, cost of rental income, general and administrative and impairment of goodwill and intangible assets.

 

The overall income (loss) from operations for the Company for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 were $(2,821,046) and $32,135, respectively. The increase in loss from operations was mainly due to an increase in general and administrative expenses and impairment of goodwill and intangible assets.

 

Cost of rental revenue

 

Cost of rental revenue was $68,412 and $48,914 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. It includes the costs associated with government rent and rates, repairs and maintenance, property insurance, depreciation and other related administrative costs. Property management fee and utility expenses are paid directly by tenants.

 

Cost of service revenue

 

Costs of revenue on provision of services were $1,071,910 and $1,086,393 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. It primarily consists of employee compensation and related payroll benefits, company formation cost and other professional fees directly attributable to cost in related to the services rendered.

 

Cost of properties sold

 

Costs of revenue on properties sold were $347,479 and $0 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. It primarily consists of the purchase price of property, legal fees, improvement costs to the building structure, and other acquisition costs. Selling and advertising costs are expensed as incurred.

 

General and administrative expenses

 

General and administrative expenses were $3,350,896 and $1,924,293 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salary and wages of $1,014,700, rent and rates of $474,741, directors’ remuneration of $330,000, and audit, legal, and other professional fees of $482,343. We expect our G&A to continue to increase as we integrate our business acquisitions, expand our offices into new jurisdictions, and deepen our existing businesses.

 

Impairment of Goodwill and Intangible Assets

 

The impairment losses of goodwill were $1,734,384 and $0 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The impairment losses of Intangible Assets were $164,337 and $0 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The Company performed an impairment test on the goodwill as of December 31, 2017 based on ASC 350 “Goodwill and Other”. We performed a free cash flow to equity forecast of our acquired subsidiaries and we expected that from 2018 to 2022, two of these subsidiaries will contribute a negative free cash flow to equity, while probably constituting a negative fair value of those entities. As a result, we decided to write off all of the goodwill and intangible assets of these two subsidiaries at December 31, 2017.

 

Attributable to noncontrolling interest

 

The Company records income attributable to noncontrolling interest in the consolidated statements of operations for any noncontrolling interest of consolidated subsidiaries.

For the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company recorded net income attributable to noncontrolling interest of $11,149. The increase in loss attributable to noncontrolling interest was due to impairment of goodwill and intangible assets of $795,168 allocated to noncontrolling interests in Billion Sino Holdings Limited and Yabez (Hong Kong) Company Limited.

 

Net Loss

 

Net losses were $3,116,909 and $39,666 for the year ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The increase in net loss was mainly due to an increase in operating costs and expenses, and impairment of goodwill and intangible assets.

Other than as disclosed elsewhere in this Annual Report, we are not aware of any trends, uncertainties, demands, commitments or events for the year ended December 31, 2017 that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, changes in our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources, or that would cause the disclosed financial information to be not necessarily indicative of future operating results or financial conditions.

One related party is under common control of Mr. Loke Che Chan, Gilbert, a director of the Company.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant accounting estimates include certain assumptions related to, among others, the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, impairment analysis of real estate assets and other long term assets including goodwill, valuation allowance on deferred income taxes, and the accrual of potential liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

Property and equipment, net

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis over the following expected useful lives from the date on which they become fully operational and after taking into account their estimated residual values:

 

Categories   Expected useful life   Residual value  
Office leasehold   27 years        
Furniture and fixtures   3 - 10 years     5 %
Office equipment   3 - 10 years     5% - 10 %
Leasehold improvement   Over the shorter of estimated useful life or term of lease     -  

 

Management assesses the carrying value of property and equipment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. If there is indication of impairment, management prepares an estimate of future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If these cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized to write down the asset to its estimated fair value.

 

Investment in real estate

 

Real estate held for sale is reported at the lower of its carrying amount or fair value, less estimated costs to sell. The cost of real estate held for sale includes the purchase price of property, legal fees, improvement costs to the building structure, and other acquisition costs. Project wide costs such as land and building acquisition and certain development costs are allocated to the specific units based upon their relative fair value before construction. We continue to actively market all properties that are designated as held for sale. Real estate held for sale is not depreciated.

 

Real estate held for investment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis over the following expected useful lives from the date on which they become fully operational and after taking into account their estimated residual values:

 

Categories   Expected useful life   Residual value  
Leasehold land and buildings   50 years     -  
Furniture and fixtures   3 – 10 years     5 %
Office equipment   3 – 10 years     5% - 10 %
Leasehold improvement   Shorter of the estimated useful life or term of lease     -  

 

 28 
 

 

Intangible assets, net

 

Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Intangible assets represented customer lists and order backlogs acquired in business combinations and certain trademarks registered in Hong Kong, the PRC, and Malaysia. Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life’s ranging from five to ten years.

 

The Company follows ASC 350 in accounting for intangible assets, which requires impairment losses to be recorded when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by the assets are less than the assets’ carrying amounts. The Company’s policy is to perform its annual impairment testing for its intangible assets on December 31, of each fiscal year.

 

Goodwill

 

Goodwill is the excess of cost of an acquired entity over the fair value of amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Under the guidance of ASC 350, goodwill is not amortized, rather it is tested for impairment annually, and will be tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would indicate the carrying amount may be impaired. An impairment loss generally would be recognized when the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s net assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the reporting unit and would be measured as the excess carrying value of goodwill over the derived fair value of goodwill. The Company’s policy is to perform its annual impairment testing for its reporting units on December 31, of each fiscal year.

 

Impairment of long-lived assets

 

Long-lived assets primarily include real estate held for investment, real estate held for use, and equipment and intangible assets. In accordance with the provision of ASC 360, the Company generally conducts its annual impairment evaluation to its long-lived assets, usually in the fourth quarter of each year, or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist, such as a significant sustained change in the business climate. The recoverability of long-lived assets is measured at the reporting unit level. If the total of the expected undiscounted future net cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, a loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and carrying amount of the asset.

 

Revenue recognition

 

The Company recognizes its revenue in accordance with ASC 605, “Revenue Recognition”, upon the delivery of its products when: (1) delivery has occurred or services rendered; (2) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (3) there are no continuing obligations to the customer; and (4) the collection of related accounts receivable is probable.

 

 29 
 

 

Service revenue

 

Revenue from the provision of (i) business consulting and advisory services and (ii) company secretarial, accounting and financial review services are recognized when there is (i) an existence of contract or an arrangement (ii) services are rendered, (iii) the service price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonable assured.

 

For certain service contracts, the completed performance method is applied. Revenue, expenses and gross profit are deferred until the performance obligation is complete and collectability is reasonably assured. For contracts where performance is not completed, deferred costs related to revenue are recorded as incurred and deferred revenue is recorded for any payments received on such yet to be completed performance obligations. When all contractual performance obligations have been met, revenue and expenses will be recorded. On an ongoing basis, management monitors these contracts for profitability and when needed may record a liability if a determination is made that costs will exceed revenue. For other service contracts such as company secretarial, accounting and financial review services, revenue is recognized as services are rendered.

 

Rental revenue

 

Revenue from rental of leasehold land and buildings are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term when collectability is reasonably assured and the tenant has taken possession or controls the physical use of the leased assets.

 

Sale of properties

 

Revenue from the sale of properties is recognized at the time each unit is delivered and title and possession are transferred to the buyer. Specifically, the Company utilizes the full accrual method where recognition occurs when (i) the collectability of the sales price is reasonably assured, (ii) the seller is not obligated to perform significant activities after the sale, (iii) the initial investment from the buyer is sufficient, and (iv) the Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of a promised property to a customer.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of December 31, 2017, we had working capital deficiency of $2,070,201 as compared to working capital deficiency of $401,241 as of December 31, 2016. The decrease was mainly due to an increase of amounts due to related parties, an increase of accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and an increase of loan borrowings. We had total current assets of $1,853,878 consisting of cash and cash equivalents of $1,162,394, accounts receivable of $345,734, prepaids and other current assets of $270,760, and deferred costs of revenue of $74,990, compared to total current assets of $1,596,156 as of December 31, 2016. The increase was mainly due to the increase in prepaids and other current assets. We had current liabilities of $3,924,079 mainly consisting of amounts due to related parties of $1,813,930, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $768,994. The Company’s net losses were $3,116,909 and $39,666 for the year ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The Company’s comprehensive losses were $2,212,940 and $61,837 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The increase in net loss was due to a significant increase in general and administrative expenses and impairment of goodwill and intangible assets.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company incurred a net loss of $3,116,909 and used cash in operating activities of $442,711, and at December 31, 2017, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $2,070,201. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date that the financial statements are issued. In addition, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, in its report on our December 31, 2017 financial statements, has raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon improving its profitability and the continuing financial support from its shareholders. Management believes the existing shareholders or external financing will provide the additional cash to meet the Company’s obligations as they become due. No assurance can be given that any future financing, if needed, will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, if needed, it may contain undue restrictions on its operations, in the case of debt financing, or cause substantial dilution for its stock holders, in the case of equity financing.

 

As of December 31, 2017, $1,441,548 was due to a related party for advances to the Company to purchase real estate held for sale in 2014 and another related party advanced $175,693 to the Company for business operation of one of the subsidiaries of the Company. These advances are non-interest bearing and are due upon demand.

 

As of December 31, 2017, our long-term liabilities consist of loans secured by real estate from:

 

(a)Standard Chartered Saadiq Berhad, with 300 monthly installments of MYR9,287 (approximately $2,840) each and will mature in May 2038;
(b)United Overseas Bank (Malaysia) Berhad, with 360 monthly installments of MYR5,382 (approximately $1,645) each and will mature in August 2043;
(c)Bank of China Limited, with 120 monthly instalments of an amount determined by the sum of (i) 25% premium above the 5-year-or-above RMB base lending rate per annum on 20th day of each month for the interest payment and (ii) RMB75,000 (Approximately $11,528) for the fixed repayment of principal. The current interest rate of the loan is 6.125% per annum, assuming the 5-year-or-above RMB base lending rate to be maintained at 4.90% for the whole period of loan agreement.
(d)Laboratory JaneClare Limited, a non-banking lender located in Hong Kong. The loan is secured by the Company’s real estate held for sale, bears interest at 8.4% per annum, and is due September 12, 2018.

 

The maturities of the long-term bank loans for each of the five years and thereafter following December 31, 2017 are as follows:

 

Year ending December 31:      
2018   $ 928,147  
2019     154,703  
2020     155,413  
2021     156,311  
2022     157,175  
Thereafter     1,219,238  
         
Total   $ 2,770,987  

 

Operating activities

 

Net cash used in operating activities was $442,711 for the year ended December 31, 2017 as compared to net cash used in operating activities of $500,228 for the year ended December 31, 2016. The cash used in operating activities in 2017 was mainly from net loss for the year, while the cash used in operating activities in 2016 consisted primarily of a decrease in deferred revenue, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and an increase in accounts receivable. Non-cash expenses totaled $2,426,577 and $231,010 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, which were primarily composed of depreciation and amortization of $188,487, and an impairment of goodwill and intangible assets of $1,898,721 for the year ended December 31, 2017.

 

The Company has incurred operating losses and used cash in its operating activities for the past two years. In fiscal 2017, the Company suffered an increase in net loss and prepaids and other current assets, which resulted in negative operating cash flow. The increase in net loss was due to an increase in general and administrative expenses and impairment of goodwill and intangible assets. The Company’s management believes it will have an improvement in accounts receivable turnover and accounts payable turnover ratios in fiscal 2018. However, there can be no assurance that the anticipated sales level will be achieved.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We conducted an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. The term “disclosure controls and procedures”, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures also include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded as of December 31, 2017, that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. The matters involving internal controls and procedures that our management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: (1) ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting process to enable the close process to be completed in a timely and accurate manner, which includes accurately estimating accruals and the overall preparation, review and analysis of the financial results; (2) lack of internal audit function due to the fact that the Company lacks qualified resources to perform the internal audit functions properly and that the scope and effectiveness of the internal audit function are yet to be developed; (3) the Company did not maintain effective controls over the completeness, accuracy, and valuation of revenue and accounts receivable. Specifically, the Company had not implemented effective controls to ensure that (i) that all revenue recognition criteria have been satisfied prior to revenue being recognized, including the collectability criteria is reasonably assured; (ii) the aging of accounts receivables is monitored to verify the completeness and accuracy of computations for the valuation of accounts receivables reserves and (iii) the analysis of the completed performance method of accounting for contract revenues is accurate and complete; (4) the Company did not maintain effective controls over the allocation of the purchase price for acquisitions to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed; (5) the Company did not maintain adequate controls over the proper application of foreign exchange rates in the translation of fixed assets into the Company’s reporting currency. These material weaknesses resulted in the restatement of our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016. The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified by our Chief Financial Officer in connection with the review of our financial statements as of December 31, 2017.

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

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

 

1. pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;

 

2. provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with the authorization of our management; and

 

3. provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

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

 

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Management’s assessment included an evaluation of the design of our internal control over financial reporting and testing of the operational effectiveness of these controls.

 

Based on this assessment, management has concluded that as of December 31, 2017, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. In an effort to remediate the identified material weaknesses and other deficiencies and enhance our internal controls, we have initiated, or plan to initiate, the following series of measures:

 

We have increased our personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function and intend to hire one or more additional personnel for the function due to turnover. We will create a position to segregate duties consistent with control objectives. We also plan to prepare written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting to establish a formal process to close our books monthly on an accrual basis and account for all transactions, including equity and debt transactions. We plan to test our updated controls and remediate our deficiencies in the year 2018.

 

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

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting for the year ended December 31, 2017, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Board of Directors

 

All directors hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders and until their successors have been duly elected and qualified. Directors are elected at the annual meetings to serve for one-year terms. Officers are elected by, and serve at the discretion of, the board of directors. Our board of directors shall hold meetings on at least a quarterly basis.

 

The board of directors has determined to comply with the NASDAQ Listing Rules with respect to certain corporate governance matters. As a smaller reporting company, under the NASDAQ rules we are only required to maintain a board of directors comprised of at least 50% independent directors, and an audit committee of at least two members, comprised solely of independent directors who also meet the requirements of Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

 

 37 
 

 

Director Independence

 

The board of directors has reviewed the independence of our directors, applying the NASDAQ independence standards. Based on this review, the board of directors determined that each of Chuchottaworn Srirat, Hee Chee Keong, Shum Albert, Chin Kiew Kwong and How Kok Choong are independent within the meaning of the NASDAQ rules. In making this determination, our board of directors considered the relationships that each of these non-employee directors has with us and all other facts and circumstances our board of directors deemed relevant in determining their independence. As required under applicable NASDAQ rules, we anticipate that our independent directors will meet on a regular basis as often as necessary to fulfill their responsibilities, including at least annually in executive session without the presence of non-independent directors and management.

 

Board Committees

 

Our board of directors has established standing committees in connection with the discharge of its responsibilities. These committees include an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Our board of directors has adopted written charters for each of these committees. Copies of the charters are available on our website. Our board of directors may establish other committees as it deems necessary or appropriate from time to time.

 

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

 

Mr. Lee Chong Kuang holds the positions of chief executive officer and chairman of the board of the Company. The board believes that Mr. Lee’s services as both chief executive officer and chairman of the board is in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders. Mr. Lee possesses detailed and in-depth knowledge of the issues, opportunities and challenges facing the Company in its business and is thus best positioned to develop agendas that ensure that the Board’s time and attention are focused on the most critical matters relating to the business of the Company. His combined role enables decisive leadership, ensures clear accountability, and enhances the Company’s ability to communicate its message and strategy clearly and consistently to the Company’s shareholders, employees and customers.

 

The board has not designated a lead director. Given the limited number of directors comprising the Board, the independent directors call and plan their executive sessions collaboratively and, between meetings of the Board, communicate with management and one another directly. Under these circumstances, the directors believe designating a lead director to take on responsibility for functions in which they all currently participate might detract from rather than enhance performance of their responsibilities as directors.

Management is responsible for assessing and managing risk, subject to oversight by the board of directors. The board oversees our risk management policies and risk appetite, including operational risks and risks relating to our business strategy and transactions. Various committees of the board assist the board in this oversight responsibility in their respective areas of expertise.

 

  The Audit Committee assists the board with the oversight of our financial reporting, independent auditors and internal controls. It is charged with identifying any flaws in business management and recommending remedies, detecting fraud risks and implementing anti-fraud measures. The audit committee further discusses Greenpro policies with respect to risk assessment and management with respect to financial reporting.
     
  The Compensation Committee oversees compensation, retention, succession and other human resources-related issues and risks.
     
  The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee overviews risks relating to our governance policies and initiatives.

 

Audit Committee

 

Our Audit Committee was established on March 23, 2016 and is comprised of three of our independent directors: Hee Chee Keong (Chairman), Shum Albert and Chin Kiew Kwong. Hee Chee Keong qualifies as the Audit Committee financial expert as defined in Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act.

 

According to its charter, the Audit Committee consists of at least three members, each of whom shall be a non-employee director who has been determined by the Board to meet the independence requirements of NASDAQ, and also Rule 10A-3(b)(1) of the SEC, subject to the exemptions provided in Rule 10A-3(c). We do not have a website containing a copy of the Audit Committee Charter. The Audit Committee Charter describes the primary functions of the Audit Committee, including the following:

 

  Oversee the Company’s accounting and financial reporting processes;
     
  Oversee audits of the Company’s financial statements;
     
  Discuss policies with respect to risk assessment and risk management, and discuss the Company’s major financial risk exposures and the steps management has taken to monitor and control such exposures;
     
  Review and discuss with management the Company’s audited financial statements and review with management and the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm the Company’s financial statements prior to the filing with the SEC of any report containing such financial statements.
     
  Recommend to the board that the Company’s audited financial statements be included in its annual report on Form 10-K for the last fiscal year;
     
  Meet separately, periodically, with management, with the Company’s internal auditors (or other personnel responsible for the internal audit function) and with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm;
     
  Be directly responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of the work of any independent registered public accounting firm engaged to prepare or issue an audit report for the Company;
     
  Take, or recommend that the board take, appropriate action to oversee and ensure the independence of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm; and
     
  Review major changes to the Company’s auditing and accounting principles and practices as suggested by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, internal auditors or management.

 

 39 
 

 

Compensation Committee

 

The Compensation Committee will be responsible for, among other matters:

 

  reviewing and approving, or recommending to the board of directors to approve the compensation of our CEO and other executive officers and directors reviewing key employee compensation goals, policies, plans and programs;
     
  administering incentive and equity-based compensation;
     
  reviewing and approving employment agreements and other similar arrangements between us and our executive officers; and
     
  appointing and overseeing any compensation consultants or advisors.

 

Our Compensation Committee was established on March 17, 2017 and currently consists of Mr. Chin Kiew Kwong and Mr. Shum Albert. Mr. Chin Kiew Kwong serves as chair of the Compensation Committee.

 

Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee

 

The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee will be responsible for, among other matters:

  reviewing and making recommendations regarding the structure and composition of our board and the board committees;

Our Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee was established on March 17, 2017 and currently consists of Mr. Shum Albert and Mr. Chin Kiew Kwong. Mr. Shum Albert serves as chair of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee.

 

Material Changes to the Procedures by which Security Holders May Recommend Nominees to the Board

 

We do not currently have a procedure by which security holders may recommend nominees to the Board. As a company quoted on the over-the-counter markets, with a limited shareholder base, we did not believe that it was important to provide such a procedure. However, in connection with our listing on the Nasdaq Stock Market and the requirement to hold annual shareholder meetings, we will consider implementing such a policy in the future.

 

Director Qualifications

 

The Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing the Company’s business consistent with their fiduciary duty to the stockholders. This significant responsibility requires highly-skilled individuals with various qualities, attributes and professional experience. There are general requirements for service on the Board that are applicable to directors and there are other skills and experience that should be represented on the Board as a whole but not necessarily by each director. The Board considers the qualifications of director candidates individually and in the broader context of the Board’s overall composition and the Company’s current and future needs.

 

 40 
 

 

In its assessment of each potential candidate, including those recommended by the stockholders, the Board will consider the nominee’s judgment, integrity, experience, independence, understanding of the Company’s business or other related industries and such other factors it determines are pertinent in light of the current needs of the Board. The Board also takes into account the ability of a director to devote the time and effort necessary to fulfill his or her responsibilities to the Company. evaluate the business experience, specialized skills and experience of director candidates. Diversity of background including diversity of race, ethnicity, international background, gender and age, may be considered by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee when evaluating candidates for Board membership.

 

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

 

Our board of directors has adopted a code of ethics that applies to all of our directors, officers and employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer. The code addresses, among other things, honesty and ethical conduct, conflicts of interest, compliance with laws, regulations and policies, including disclosure requirements under the federal securities laws, confidentiality, trading on inside information, and reporting of violations of the code. The code of ethics is available on the Company’s website at www.greenprocapital.com.

 

SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

 

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of our common stock, to file reports regarding ownership of, and transactions in, our securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission and to provide us with copies of those filings. Based solely on our review of the copies of such forms furnished to us and written representations by our officers and directors regarding their compliance with applicable reporting requirements under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, we believe that all Section 16(a) filing requirements for our executive officers, directors and 10% stockholders were met during the year ended December 31, 2017.

ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

 

The following table sets forth, as of April 13, 2018, certain information concerning the beneficial ownership of our common stock by (i) each stockholder known by us to own beneficially five percent or more of our outstanding common stock or series a common stock; (ii) each director; (iii) each named executive officer; and (iv) all of our executive officers and directors as a group, and their percentage ownership and voting power.

 

 42 
 

 

The information presented below regarding beneficial ownership of our voting securities has been presented in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not necessarily indicative of ownership for any other purpose. Under these rules, a person is deemed to be a “beneficial owner” of a security if that person has or shares the power to vote or direct the voting of the security or the power to dispose or direct the disposition of the security. A person is deemed to own beneficially any security as to which such person has the right to acquire sole or shared voting or investment power within sixty (60) days through the conversion or exercise of any convertible security, warrant, option, or other right. More than one (1) person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same securities. The percentage of beneficial ownership by any person as of a particular date is calculated by dividing the number of shares beneficially owned by such person, which includes the number of shares as to which such person has the right to acquire voting or investment power within sixty (60) days, by the sum of the number of shares outstanding as of such date. Consequently, the denominator used for calculating such percentage may be different for each beneficial owner. Except as otherwise indicated below and under applicable community property laws, we believe that the beneficial owners of our common stock listed below have sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares shown.

All officers and directors as a group (7 persons named above)   39,814,950    74.79%

 

(1) Except as otherwise set forth below, the address of each beneficial owner is Room 1701-1703, 17/F, The Metropolis Tower, 10 Metropolis Drive, Hung Hom, Kowloon, Hong Kong.
   
(2) Based on 53,233,960 shares of common stock outstanding as of April 13, 2018, together with securities exercisable or convertible into shares of common stock within 60 days of April 13, 2018. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities. Shares of common stock that a person has the right to acquire beneficial ownership of upon the exercise or conversion of options, convertible stock, warrants or other securities that are currently exercisable or convertible or that will become exercisable or convertible within 60 days of April 13, 2018, are deemed to be beneficially owned by the person holding such securities for the purpose of computing the number of shares beneficially owned and percentage of ownership of such person, but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.
   
(3) Represents 18,438,450 shares held directly by Mr. Lee Chong Kuang and 1,661,150 shares held by his spouse Yap Pei Ling.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

 

Related Party Transactions

 

Except as set forth below, we have not been a party to any transaction since January 1, 2016, in which the amount involved in the transaction exceeded or will exceed the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of our total assets as at the year-end for the last two completed fiscal years, and to which any of our directors, executive officers or beneficial holders of more than 5% of our capital stock, or any immediate family member of, or person sharing the household with, any of these individuals, had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

 

Our policy is that a contract or transaction either between the Company and a director, or between a director and another company in which he is financially interested is not necessarily void or void-able if the relationship or interest is disclosed or known to the board of directors and the board of directors is entitled to vote on the issue.

 

Transactions with certain companies which Greenpro Venture Capital Limited owns certain percentage of their company shares and companies that we have determined that we can significantly influence based on our common business relationships.

 

Related party transactions amounted to $329,645 and $406,631 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, in service revenue and rental revenue.

 

Our related parties are those companies where Greenpro Venture Capital Limited owns a certain percentage of the shares of such companies, and companies that we have determined that we can significantly influence based on our common business relationships. One related party is under common control of Mr. Loke Che Chan, Gilbert, a director of the Company. All of these related party transactions are generally transacted at an arms-length basis at the current market value in the normal course of business.

The following table sets forth the aggregate fees billed to the Company by its independent registered public accounting firms for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.

The change in the Company’s principal accountant was approved by the Company’s Audit Committee. The accounting fees and services charged by Weinberg and A&C for 2017 and 2016 are shown separately in the following two tables.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of

Greenpro Capital Corporation

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Greenpro Capital Corporation (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 (restated), the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2017, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, change in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2016 (restated) and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The 2016 consolidated financial statements were previously audited by another auditor. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the 2016 consolidated financial statements have been restated to correct errors.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, during the year ended December 31, 2017 the Company incurred a net loss and utilized cash flows in operations, and at December 31, 2017 had a working capital deficiency. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement, whether due to error fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.

 

Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

WEINBERG & COMPANY, P.A.

 

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2017.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2017 AND 2016

(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)

 

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Greenpro Capital Corp. (the “Company” or “GRNQ”) was incorporated on July 19, 2013 in the state of Nevada. On May 6, 2015, the Company changed its name to Greenpro Capital Corp. The Company currently provides a wide range of business consulting and corporate advisory services including cross-border listing advisory services, tax planning, advisory and transaction services, record management services, and accounting outsourcing services. As part of our business consulting and corporate advisory business segment, Greenpro Venture Capital Limited provides a business incubator for start-up and high growth companies during their critical growth period, and focuses on investments in select start-up and high growth potential companies. In addition to our business consulting and corporate advisory business segment, we operate another business segment that focuses on the acquisition and rental of real estate properties held for investment and the acquisition and sale of real estate properties held for sale. Our focus is on companies located in Asia and Southeast Asia including Hong Kong, Malaysia, China, Thailand, and Singapore.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, for the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company incurred a net loss of $3,116,909 and used cash in operating activities of $442,711, and at December 31, 2017, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $2,070,201. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date that the financial statements are issued. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon improving its profitability and the continuing financial support from its shareholders. Management believes the existing shareholders or external financing will provide the additional cash to meet the Company’s obligations as they become due. No assurance can be given that any future financing, if needed, will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, if needed, it may contain undue restrictions on its operations, in the case of debt financing, or cause substantial dilution for its stock holders, in the case of equity financing.

 

Basis of presentation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and majority-owned subsidiaries over which the Company exercises control, and entities for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. The Company’s consolidated financial statements are expressed in U.S. Dollars. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

At December 31, 2017, the Company’s holds 60% of the shareholdings of Forward Win International Limited, Yabez (Hong Kong) Company Limited, Greenpro Wealthon Sdn Bhd, Billion Sino Holdings Limited, and Parich Wealth Management Limited (Hong Kong). At December 31, 2017, the Company holds 51% of the shareholdings of Greenpro Capital Village Sdn Bhd and Greenpro Family Office Limited.

 

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant accounting estimates include certain assumptions related to, among others, the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, impairment analysis of real estate assets and other long term assets including goodwill, valuation allowance on deferred income taxes, and the accrual of potential liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash

 

Cash consists of funds on hand and held in bank accounts. Cash equivalents includes demand deposits placed with banks or other financial institutions and all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, including money market funds. Restricted cash represents cash restricted for the loan collateral requirements as defined in a loan agreement, and also the minimum paid-up share capital requirement for insurance brokers specified under the Insurance Ordinance of Hong Kong.

 

At December 31, 2017 and 2016, cash included funds held by employees of $32,673 and $51,283, respectively and was held to facilitate payment of expenses in local currencies and to facilitate third-party online payment platforms which the Company had not set up corporate accounts for (Wechat Pay and Alipay).

Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash  $1,162,394   $1,021,351 

 

Accounts receivable

 

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount less an allowance for any uncollectible accounts. Management reviews the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts on an ongoing basis, using historical collection trends and aging of receivables. Management also periodically evaluates individual customer’s financial condition, credit history, and the current economic conditions to make adjustments in the allowance when it is considered necessary. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The allowance for uncollectible accounts at December 31, 2017 and 2016 was $76,180 and $54,799 respectively.

 

F-7

 

 

Property and equipment, net

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis over the following expected useful lives from the date on which they become fully operational and after taking into account their estimated residual values:

 

Categories   Expected useful life   Residual value  
Office leasehold   27 years        
Furniture and fixtures   3 - 10 years     5 %
Office equipment   3 - 10 years     5% - 10 %
Leasehold improvement   Over the shorter of estimated useful life or term of lease     -  

 

Office leasehold represents three adjoining office units used by the Company located in a commercial building in Shenzhen, China. The office leasehold is subject to a 50 years land lease with a remaining term of 27 years, and is being amortized over the remaining lease term. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.

 

Management assesses the carrying value of property and equipment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. If there is indication of impairment, management prepares an estimate of future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If these cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized to write down the asset to its estimated fair value. For the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company determined there were no indicators of impairment of its property and equipment.

 

Depreciation and amortization expense, classified as operating expenses, was $21,992 and $15,292 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

 

Real estate held for sale

 

Real estate held for sale is reported at the lower of its carrying amount or fair value, less estimated costs to sell. The cost of real estate held for sale includes the purchase price of property, legal fees, improvement costs to the building structure, and other acquisition costs. Project wide costs such as land and building acquisition and certain development costs are allocated to the specific units based upon their relative fair value before construction. We continue to actively market all properties that are designated as held for sale. Real estate held for sale is not depreciated.

 

In conducting its reviews for indicators of impairment, the Company evaluates, among other things, the margins on units already sold within the project, margins on units under contract but not closed (none as of December 31, 2017), and projected margin on future unit sales. The Company pays particular attention to discern if the real estate held for sale is moving at a slower than expected pace or where margins are trending downward. As at December 31, 2017, the Company determined there were no indicators of impairment of its real estate held for sale.

 

Real estate held for investment, net

 

Real estate held for investment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis over the following expected useful lives from the date on which they become fully operational and after taking into account their estimated residual values:

 

Categories   Expected useful life   Residual value  
Office leasehold   50 years     -  
Furniture and fixtures   3 – 10 years     5 %
Office equipment   3 – 10 years     5% - 10 %
Leasehold improvement   Shorter of the estimated useful life or term of lease     -  

 

The cost of office leasehold includes the purchase price of property, legal fees, and other acquisition costs.

 

Depreciation and amortization expense, classified as cost of rental, was $30,570 and $30,050 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. As at December 31, 2017, the Company determined there were no indicators of impairment of its real estate held for investment.

 

F-8

 

 

Intangible assets, net

 

Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Intangible assets represented customer lists and order backlogs acquired in business combinations and certain trademarks registered in Hong Kong, the PRC, and Malaysia. Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life’s ranging from five to ten years. Amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 were $135,925 and $121,862, respectively.

 

The Company follows ASC 360 in accounting for intangible assets, which requires impairment losses to be recorded when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by the assets are less than the assets’ carrying amounts. At December 31, 2017, the Company recorded an impairment of intangible assets of $164,337. There were no impairments recorded at December 31, 2016

 

Goodwill

 

Goodwill is the excess of cost of an acquired entity over the fair value of amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Under the guidance of ASC 350, goodwill is not amortized, rather it is tested for impairment annually, and will be tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would indicate the carrying amount may be impaired. An impairment loss generally would be recognized when the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s net assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the reporting unit and would be measured as the excess carrying value of goodwill over the derived fair value of goodwill. The Company’s policy is to perform its annual impairment testing for its reporting units on December 31, of each fiscal year. At December 31, 2017, based on its annual impairment testing, the Company recorded impairment of goodwill of $1,734,384. There were no impairments recorded at December 31, 2016

 

Impairment of long-lived assets

 

Long-lived assets primarily include real estate held for investment, property and equipment and intangible assets. In accordance with the provision of ASC 360, the Company generally conducts its annual impairment evaluation to its long-lived assets, usually in the fourth quarter of each year, or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist, such as a significant sustained change in the business climate. The recoverability of long-lived assets is measured at the reporting unit level. If the total of the expected undiscounted future net cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, a loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and carrying amount of the asset. As at December 31, 2017, the Company determined there were no indicators of impairment of its real estate held for investment and its property and equipment.

 

F-9

 

 

Comprehensive income

 

Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. The Company’s accumulated other comprehensive income consists of cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments.

 

Revenue recognition

 

The Company recognizes its revenue in accordance with ASC 605, “Revenue Recognition”, upon the delivery of its products when: (1) delivery has occurred or services rendered; (2) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (3) there are no continuing obligations to the customer; and (4) the collection of related accounts receivable is probable.

 

(a) Service revenue

 

Revenue from the provision of (i) business consulting and advisory services and (ii) company secretarial, accounting and financial review services are recognized when there is (i) an existence of contract or an arrangement (ii) services are rendered, (iii) the service price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonable assured.

 

For certain service contracts, the completed performance method is applied. Revenue, expenses and gross profit are deferred until the performance obligation is complete and collectability is reasonably assured. For contracts where performance is not completed, deferred costs related to revenue are recorded as incurred and deferred revenue is recorded for any payments received on such yet to be completed performance obligations. When all contractual performance obligations have been met, revenue and expenses will be recorded. Deferred revenue related to contracts where performance was not completed was $345,000 and $215,000 as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Deferred costs related to such contracts was $74,990 and $75,207 as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. On an ongoing basis, management monitors these contracts for profitability and when needed may record a liability if a determination is made that costs will exceed revenue. For other service contracts such as company secretarial, accounting and financial review services, revenue is recognized as services are rendered.

 

(b) Rental revenue

 

Revenue from rental of leasehold land and buildings is recognized as earned based upon amounts that are currently due from tenants, collectability is reasonably assured, and the tenant has taken possession or controls the physical use of the leased assets.

 

The Company leases its commercial office premises in Malaysia and Hong Kong under various non-cancelable operating leases with terms of two to three years and contains renewal options. For the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company recorded $178,682 in rental revenue.

 

(c) Sale of properties

 

Revenue from the sale of properties is recognized at the time each unit is delivered and title and possession are transferred to the buyer. Specifically, the Company utilizes the full accrual method where recognition occurs when (i) the collectability of the sales price is reasonably assured, (ii) the seller is not obligated to perform significant activities after the sale, (iii) the initial investment from the buyer is sufficient, and (iv) the Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of a promised property to a customer.

 

Cost of revenues

 

Costs of service revenue primarily consists of employee compensation and related payroll benefits, company formation cost and other professional fees directly attributable to the services rendered.

 

Cost of rental revenue primarily includes costs associated with repairs and maintenance, property insurance, depreciation and other related administrative costs. Property management fees and utility expenses are paid directly by tenants.

 

Cost of properties sold primary consist of the purchase price of property, legal fees, improvement costs to the building structure, and other acquisition costs. Selling and advertising costs are expensed as incurred.

Income taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability approach which allows for the recognition and measurement of deferred tax assets based upon the likelihood of realization of tax benefits in future years. Under the asset and liability approach, deferred taxes are provided for the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize their benefits, or that future deductibility is uncertain.

 

The Company conducts major businesses in Hong Kong, Malaysia and China and is subject to tax in these jurisdictions. As a result of its business activities, the Company will file separate tax returns that are subject to examination by the foreign tax authorities.

 

Income (loss) per Share

 

Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus any potentially dilutive shares related to the issuance of stock options, shares from the issuance of stock warrants, shares issued from the conversion of redeemable convertible preferred stock and shares issued for the conversion of convertible debt. At December 31, 2017 and 2016, there were no potentially dilutive shares outstanding.

 

Foreign currencies translation

 

The reporting currency of the Company is the United States Dollars (“US$”) and the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been expressed in US$. In addition, the Company’s operating subsidiaries maintain their books and records in their respective local currency, which consists of the Malaysian Ringgit (“MYR”), Renminbi (“RMB”), and Hong Kong Dollars (“HK$”), which is also the respective functional currency of subsidiaries.

 

In general, for consolidation purposes, assets and liabilities of its subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the US$ are translated into US$ using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the period. The gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements of a foreign subsidiary are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss within equity.

 

Translation of amounts from the local currencies of the Company into US$ has been made at the following exchange rates for the respective periods:

 

    As of and for the years ended December 31,  
    2017     2016  
Period-end MYR : US$1 exchange rate     4.05       4.48  
Period-average MYR : US$1 exchange rate     4.28       4.14  
Period-end RMB : US$1 exchange rate     6.51       6.95  
Period-average RMB : US$1 exchange rate     6.74       6.66  
Period-end / average HK$ : US$1 exchange rate     7.75       7.75

Related parties

 

Parties are considered to be related to the Company if the parties that, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, control, are controlled by, or are under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. Transactions with related parties are disclosed in the financial statements.

 

Fair value of financial instruments

 

The Company follows the guidance of the ASC 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820-10”), with respect to financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value. ASC 820-10 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

 

Level 1 : Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
   
Level 2 : Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
   
Level 3 : Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions

 

There were no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis subject to the disclosure requirements of ASC 820 as of December 31, 2017 or 2016. The Company believes the carrying amount reported in the balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, deferred revenue, and due to related parties, approximate at their fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments.

 

Concentrations of risks

 

For the year ended December 31, 2017, no customer accounted for 10% or more of the service revenue or accounts receivable at year-end.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2016, the two customers that accounted for 10% or more of the service income and one customer that accounted for 24% of trade accounts receivable are presented as follows:

 

    For the year ended
December 31, 2016
    As of
December 31, 2016
 
    Revenues     Percentage

Customer A   $ 361,200       12 %   $ 106,800  
Customer B     503,500       16 %     -  
Total:   $ 864,700       27 %   $ 106,800  

 

For the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, no vendor accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s cost of revenues, or accounts payable at year-end.

 

F-12

 

 

Exchange rate risk

 

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

 

Economic and political risks

 

Substantially all of the Company’s services are conducted in Malaysia, the PRC and Asian region. 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.

 

The Company’s operations in the PRC are subject to special considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environment and foreign currency exchange. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in the political and social conditions in the PRC, and by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion, remittances abroad, and rates and methods of taxation.

 

Recent accounting pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive revenue recognition standard that will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under current U.S. GAAP and replace it with a principle based approach for determining revenue recognition. Under ASU 2014-09, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services and is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, the standard requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The FASB has recently issued ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10, ASU 2016-11, ASU 2016-12, ASU 2016-20, and ASU 2017-05, all of which clarify certain implementation guidance within ASU 2014-09. ASU 2014-09 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The standard can be adopted either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented (full retrospective method), or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application (the cumulative catch-up transition method). The Company will adopt the provisions of this statement in the first quarter of fiscal 2018, using the modified retrospective approach. We have assessed the impact adoption of this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. Based on our assessment, the adoption of this standard will not have a material impact on our revenue recognition policies for our service revenues.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This update will require the recognition of a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. For operating leases, the asset and liability will be expensed over the lease term on a straight-line basis, with all cash flows included in the operating section of the statement of cash flows. For finance leases, interest on the lease liability will be recognized separately from the amortization of the right-of-use asset in the statement of comprehensive income and the repayment of the principal portion of the lease liability will be classified as a financing activity while the interest component will be included in the operating section of the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 for public business entities. Early adoption is permitted. Upon adoption, leases will be recognized and measured at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on its financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (ASU 2017-04), which eliminates step two from the goodwill impairment test. Under ASU 2017-04, an entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value up to the amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. ASU 2017-04 is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019 for public business entities. Early adoption is permitted. The Company early adopted ASU 2017-04 during the fourth quarter of 2017.

 

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.

NOTE 2 – RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 have been restated. On March 15, 2018, our management determined the following:

 

that the Company’s method of recognizing revenue on service contracts was erroneously accounted for when billed.
that the Company erroneously used an incorrect exchange rate in the translation of fixed assets into the Company’s reporting currency.
that the Company’s accounting for the acquisition of Yabez (Hong Kong) in 2015 was erroneously recorded using the partial goodwill method.
that the Company erroneously did not record an allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable at December 31, 2016.

 

The effects on the previously issued financial statements are as follows:

 

(A)

In 2017, the Company corrected its method of recognizing revenue from certain service contracts to use of the performance completion method. Previously the Company had recognized revenues upon billings. The cumulative effect of the correction of the error was to increase accumulated deficit by $366,099 at December 31, 2015. The Company restated its consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016 to reflect the correction of the error. The restatement resulted in the Company recording $315,300 of additional service revenue, $88,992 of additional costs, and additional net income of $226,307 for 2016.

   
(B)

At December 31, 2015, the Company erroneously calculated the cost of real estate held for investment due to an incorrect exchange rate used for translation of amounts from the local currencies of the Company’s operating subsidiaries into the reporting currency of the Company. In preparing its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company determined that the incorrect exchange rate was used and corrected it. The cumulative effect of the correction of the error was to decrease real estate held for investment by $173,352 and decrease accumulated other comprehensive income by $175,298 at December 31, 2015. The Company restated its consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016 to reflect the correction of the error and real estate held for investment was decreased by $212,775 and accumulated other comprehensive income was decreased $214,716.

 

In addition, the Company erroneously calculated the noncontrolling interest of Yabez (Hong Kong) for the year ended December 31, 2015. The cumulative effect of the correction of the error was to increase the accumulated deficit and decrease the noncontrolling interest by $3,088. The Company restated its consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016 to reflect the correction of the error, and accumulated deficit was increased by $3,088 while the noncontrolling interest was decreased by $3,088. There was no effect on net income for 2016.

   
(C) In September 2015, the Company acquired Yabez (Hong Kong) and calculated goodwill using the partial goodwill method. In preparing its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company determined that the full goodwill method is required by US GAAP. The cumulative effect of the correction of the error was to increase goodwill by $174,001 and noncontrolling interest by $174,001 at December 31, 2015. The Company restated its consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016 to reflect the correction of the error, and goodwill and noncontrolling interest were increased by $174,001. There was no effect on net loss for 2016.
   
(D) In preparing its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company erroneously did not record an allowance for uncollectible accounts and bad debts. The Company restated its consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016 to reflect an allowance for uncollectible accounts and bad debts, and accounts receivable was decreased by $54,799 and accumulated deficit was increased by $54,799.

NOTE 3 - BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

 

On April 25, 2017, the Company completed the purchase of a 60% equity interest and assets of Billion Sino Holdings Limited (“BSHL”). The Company acquired BSHL to expand insurance services. BSHL, through its wholly owned subsidiary Parich Wealth Management Limited (Hong Kong), provides insurance intermediary business in Hong Kong and services include long term and general insurance. Due to the thinly traded market of the Company’s common stock, the purchase price consideration was based on the latest offering price in a contemporaneous private placement to a third party, which was $2.50 per share of common stock and the total purchase consideration of $851,613.

 

As of the acquisition date, the allocations of the purchase price are stated as follows:

 

    BSHL  
Cash and cash equivalents   $ 145,354  
Deposits     3,481  
Amount due to a director     (16,597 )
Accrued expenses     (90,939 )
Intangible assets     94,057  
Deferred tax liabilities     (15,519 )
Goodwill     1,299,518  
Fair value of BSHL     1,419,355  
Noncontrolling interest     (567,742 )
Total purchase consideration   $ 851,613  

 

The following unaudited pro forma information presents the combined results of operations as if the acquisition of BSHL had been completed on January 1, 2016, the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period. These unaudited pro forma results are presented for informational purpose only and are not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations of the combined company would have been if the acquisition had occurred at the beginning of the period presented, nor are they indicative of future results of operations:

 

    For the years ended December 31  
    2017     2016  
    (unaudited)     (unaudited)  
Revenue   $ 4,204,075     $ 3,302,198  
Gross profit     2,438,003       2,070,759  
Operating income (loss)     (2,839,246 )     32,282  
Net income (loss)   $ (2,939,808 )   $ (38,919 )
Net income (loss) per share   $ (0.06 )   $ (0.00 )

 

Subsequent to the acquisition of Billion Sino Holdings Limited (“BSHL”), the operating performance of the BSHL reporting unit decreased and began to be affected by reduced margins as a result of certain regulatory changes. Specifically, the Chinese government introduced certain capital controls that curtailed certain types of revenue in the insurance market. As a result of this decline, particularly in future expected cash flows, along with comparable fair value information, management concluded that the carrying value of goodwill of $1,299,518 and intangible asset of $68,087 for BSHL exceeded its fair value. In addition, at December 31, 2017, the Company determined that $434,865 of goodwill and $96,250 of an intangible asset recorded in 2015 arising from the acquisition of Yabez (Hong Kong) Company Limited was impaired. Accordingly, at December 31, 2017, the Company recorded a total impairment of goodwill and intangible assets of $1,898,720.

 

On July 21, 2017, Greenpro Resources Limited, the wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, acquired 51% of the shareholdings of Greenpro Family Office Limited (“GFOL”). Loke Che Chan Gilbert, our Chief Financial Officer, was the sole shareholder of GFOL before the transaction and the acquisition is accounted for as a transfer among entities under common control. GFOL had net assets of $1 at the time of the transaction.
