Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements

This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Because they discuss future events or conditions, forward-looking statements may include words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “intend,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “may,” “seek,” “plan,” “might,” “will,” “pursue,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “predict,” “project,” “goals,” “strategy,” “future,” “likely,” “forecast,” “potential,” “continue,” negatives thereof or similar references to future periods. Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, statements we make regarding:

Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control. Our actual future results and financial condition may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause our actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, among others, the following:

There is no assurance that we will be profitable, we may not be able to attract or retain qualified executives and personnel, we may not be able to obtain customers for future products or services, additional dilution in outstanding stock ownership may be incurred due to the issuance of more shares, warrants and stock options, or the exercise of outstanding warrants and stock options, and other risks inherent in our businesses.

Because the statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. We caution you not to place undue reliance on the statements, which speak only as of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section should be considered in connection with any subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements that we or persons acting on our behalf may issue. We do not undertake any obligation to review or confirm analysts’ expectations or estimates or to release publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Annual Report, or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

General Overview

ABV Consulting, Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our,” “ABVN” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Nevada on October 15, 2013. At formation, the Company authorized 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share. In connection with our formation, the Company’s founder, Andrew Gavrin, received 5,000,000 shares of common stock as founder shares, and Mr. Gavrin served as the Company’s chief executive officer, chief financial officer and sole director from the time of incorporation until August 22, 2016.

The Company was originally formed to engage in merchandising and consulting services to craft beer brewers and distributors, as well as providing additional branding and marketing support within the craft beer industry to retailers and other organizations. The Company’s customer base consisted of alcohol beverage manufacturers, distributors, retailers, beer festival operators and other organizations involved in the sale and marketing of craft beer.

We focused our early efforts on pro bono engagements and secured one paid engagement for $2,000 by the close of our second quarter in 2016.

On August 22, 2016, in connection with the sale of a controlling interest in the Company, Mr. Gavrin sold to Ms. Ping Zhang the entire amount of his 5,000,000 shares of common stock for an aggregate price of $228,400 (the “Change of Control Transaction”). In connection with the Change of Control Transaction, Mr. Gavrin agreed pay $25,186.25 of debts of the Company in addition to the cancellation of $35,000 worth of debt owed to him by the Company. Concurrent with the Change of Control Transaction, Mr. Gavrin resigned from all corporate officer and director roles, and was replaced in all roles by Mr. Wai Lim Wong.

On December 19, 2016, the Company amended its articles of incorporation to increase the authorized number of shares of the Company’s common stock from 100,000,000 to 3,000,000,000 shares, par value $0.0001.

On February 24, 2018, ABV entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Allied Plus (Samoa) Limited, an international company incorporated in Samoa with limited liability (“APSL”), and each of APSL’s shareholders (collectively, the “Sellers”), pursuant to which, and subject to the terms and conditions contained therein, the Company would effect an acquisition of APSL by acquiring from the Sellers all outstanding equity interests of APSL (the “Acquisition”).

Pursuant to the Agreement, in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of APSL, the Company would issue 1,980,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company (the “Exchange Shares”) to the Sellers. The Exchange Shares to be allocated among the Sellers pro-rata based on each Seller’s ownership of APSL prior to the Acquisition. The Exchange Shares to be subject to a lock-up as set forth in the Agreement.

On February 28, 2018, ABV closed the share exchange (the “Exchange”) pursuant to the terms of Agreement. In connection with the closing, on February 28, 2018, the Company filed Articles of Exchange with the Secretary of State for the State of Nevada, which Articles of Exchange became effective upon filing

At the closing of the Exchange, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding equity interests of APSL from the Sellers, and the Company issued to the Sellers, pro-rata based on each Seller’s ownership percentage of APSL prior to the Exchange, 1,980,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (representing approximately 99.72% of the Company’s outstanding common stock). As a result, the Sellers became stockholders of the Company and APSL became a subsidiary of the Company.

APSL was incorporated in Samoa on January 11, 2016, for the purposes of sourcing and developing tourism and entertainment-related investment projects in Malaysia and Southeast Asia in connection with the People’s Republic of China’s broad “One Belt, One Road” regional investment and development initiative, and for other purposes.

On June 19, 2018, APSL acquired 100% issued and outstanding equity of ABV Consulting Limited (“ABV HK”) which was incorporated in Hong Kong, China, and ABV HK became the wholly subsidiary of APSL.

On December 19, 2018, the board of directors of ABV and certain shareholders of the Company (“Shareholders”) entered into a Mutual Rescission Agreement (the “Rescission Agreement”). The Rescission Agreement rescinded the share exchange agreement dated February 24, 2018 (the “Share Exchange Agreement”), between the equity interest owners of Allied Plus (Samoa) Limited (“Allied Plus”), who are also the Shareholders, and the Company.

The Share Exchange Agreement provided for the acquisition of all of the outstanding equity interests of Allied Plus (“Equity Interests”) by the Company in consideration of the issuance of 1,980,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Shares”) to the Shareholders. The Shares were issued to the Shareholders and the Equity Interests were transferred to the Company.

The Rescission Agreement provided that the Shareholders would return all of the Shares to the Company in consideration for the return of the Equity Interests to the Shareholders. The Shares would be cancelled and returned to the Company’s treasury. The Shareholders signed stock powers (“Stock Powers”) in favor of the Company, and the Stock Powers and Shares were delivered to the Company’s transfer agent for cancellation.

With the completion of the Rescission Agreement, APSL is no longer a subsidiary of the Company.

Accordingly, APSL sold the 100% issued and outstanding equity of ABV Consulting Limited (“ABV HK”) to the Company, and ABV HK became our wholly owned subsidiary.

Our address is Unit 1101-1102, 11/F, Railway Plaza, 39 Chatham Road S., Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, Hong Kong. Our corporate website is www.abvnus.com.

We have one wholly subsidiary, ABV Consulting Limited (HK), a Hong Kong company.

We have not ever declared bankruptcy, been in receivership, or involved in any kind of legal proceeding.

Our Current Business

Following the Change of Control Transaction, our new management decided to pursue a strategic acquisition strategy focused on acquisition target companies with operations located primarily in Southeast Asia, the Pacific Islands, the People’s Republic of China (including Hong Kong and Macau) (the “PRC”), Taiwan and other jurisdictions within Asia. In connection with this new strategy, we moved our corporate headquarters from Pennsylvania to Hong Kong. We believe that the PRC’s “One Belt, One Road” (“OBOR”) regional cooperation initiative will be a significant driver for strategic investment opportunities throughout Asia.

“One Belt, One Road”

Between September and October 2013, the PRC government disclosed its plan to pursue a regional trade, investment, infrastructure and cultural exchange program incorporating approximately sixty countries located along the historic silk road trading route connecting Africa, the Middle East, Europe and Central and East Asia—called the “Silk Road Economic Belt”—and also nations located in the South China Sea, the South Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean—called the “Maritime Silk Road.” The initiative has since been labeled “One Belt, One Road” or “OBOR” for short, and in 2014 the Chinese foreign minister identified OBOR as the single most important feature of Chinese President Xi Jinping’s foreign policy.

The PRC government intends to invest at least $4 trillion over an indefinite time period on projects located within OBOR constituent countries, and hundreds of projects worth approximately $1 trillion have been approved to date.

OBOR-Related Investment Opportunities

We anticipate that entities based in Hong Kong will continue their historic gatekeeping function as financial and advisory intermediaries between the PRC and the world at large, and Asia in particular. We intend to avail ourselves of this strategic advantage to pursue strategic co-investments with entities deploying OBOR-related funds and to invest into companies and assets that are well positioned to benefit from OBOR-related investments.

Objectives and Strategies

We explored a number of strategic investment opportunities following the Change of Control Transaction, but we did not enter into any definitive agreements by the end of FY2019.

In pursuing our acquisition strategy, we are guided by our core objective of maximizing stockholder value by sourcing and acquiring assets with stable cash flow and/or significant growth potential connected to OBOR-related investment and trade and our ability to assist the investment target with securing economic and financial resources.

Marketing and Sales Efforts

ABV HK engaged marketing & sales activities and looking for business opportunities during 2019, but did not enter into any definitive agreement by the end of FY2019. As at the date hereof, we will continue with ABV HK’s current line of business. In addition, we will consider generating revenues from other activities.

We are currently seeking new business opportunities with established business entities for merger with or acquisition of a target business. In certain instances, a target business may wish to become our subsidiary, or may wish to contribute assets to us rather than merge. We have not yet entered into any definitive agreements for potential new business opportunities, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to enter into any definitive agreements.

Competition

We face substantial competition from individuals and entities that seek to invest into Asia. Although we feel that the personal relationships developed by our management and business partners provide us with a competitive advantage in sourcing, analyzing, and approving optimal deals, we compete with corporate strategic investors, financial investors like private equity funds, wealth management offices, high net worth individuals and ultra-high net worth individuals, sovereign wealth funds, and any entities which engage in investment activities in Asia. Our management and the management of ABV HK compete primarily on the basis of reputation for honest and thoughtful business practices, as well as quality of network and strategic relationships.

Intellectual Property and Other Contracts

We do not have any patents, trademarks, licenses, franchises, concessions, royalty agreements, or labor contracts.

Employees

We do not have any paid full-time employees who provide services on an at-will basis as at December 31, 2019.

This section and other parts of this Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Form 10-K”) contain forward-looking statements, within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, that involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements provide current expectations of future events based on certain assumptions and include any statement that does not directly relate to any historical or current fact. Forward-looking statements can also be identified by words such as “future,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “predicts,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “can,” “may,” and similar terms. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and the Company’s actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in Part I, Item 1A of this Form 10-K under the heading “Risk Factors,” which are incorporated herein by reference. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K. All information presented herein is based on the Company’s fiscal calendar. Unless otherwise stated, references to particular years, quarters, months or periods refer to the Company’s fiscal years ended in December and the associated quarters, months and periods of those fiscal years. Each of the terms the “Company” and “ABV Consulting” as used herein refers collectively to ABV Consulting, Inc., unless otherwise stated. The Company assumes no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements for any reason, except as required by law.

Results of Operations

Our financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern and, accordingly, do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and realization of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue in operation. We expect we will require additional capital to meet our long term operating requirements. Assuming that we continue to require additional capital, and under ideal market conditions, we expect to raise additional capital through, among other things, the sale of equity or debt securities.

Comparison of the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

Our revenue was $0 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to $25,641 for the same period in 2018. There was no revenue generated in 2019.

Our general and administrative expenses were $16,519 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to $52,048 for the same period in 2018. The decrease in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to decrease in entertainment expenses.

Expenses for professional fees were $42,405 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to $34,252 for the same period in 2018. The increase in professional fees was primarily due to an increase in accounting and legal fees.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Working Capital

As at December 31, 2019, current assets only consisted of $4,348 cash, as compared to December 31, 2018, current assets consisted of $4,534 cash and $12,821 accounts receivable. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in accounts receivable.

As at December 31, 2019, current liabilities consisted of accounts payable of $19,087 and $290,209 owed to related parties, as compared to December 31, 2018, current liabilities consisted of accounts payable of $5,526 and $257,853 owed to related parties. The increase in current liabilities is due to the operating expenses as discussed above and the advances from related parties to finance the operations of the Company.

Cash Flows

Fiscal year 2019 compared with fiscal year 2018

The following table presents our cash flow for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018:

Cash Flow from Operating Activities

Cash flows used in operations decreased $60,139 to $15,635 during the fiscal year 2019, mainly due to decreased accounts receivable and increased accounts payable.

Cash Flow from Financing Activities

During the year ended December 31, 2019, our company received $15,449 from a related party. During the year ended December 31, 2018, our company received $80,009 from a related party.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We have identified the policies below as critical to our business operations and the understanding of our results of operations. The impact on our business operations and any associated risks related to these policies are discussed throughout Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations when such policies affect our reported or expected financial results.

In the ordinary course of business, we have made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of results of operations and financial condition in the preparation of our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. The results form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates under different assumptions and conditions. We believe that the following discussion addresses our most critical accounting policies, which are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require our most difficult, subjective, and complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.

Basis of Accounting and Going Concern

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with GAAP. In addition, the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. We generated accumulated losses of approximately $464,938 through December 31, 2019 and have insufficient working capital and cash flows to support operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.

Revenue Recognition

Our company pursues opportunities to realize revenues from consulting services. It is our company’s policy that revenues and gains will be recognized in accordance with ASC Topic 605-10-25, “Revenue Recognition.” Under ASC Topic 605-10-25, revenue earning activities are recognized when all of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the services have been rendered to the customer, (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.

Also, refer Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the consolidated financial statements that are included in this Report.

As a “smaller reporting company”, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

The consolidated financial statements and Reports of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firms are listed in the “Index to Consolidated Financial Statements” on page F-1 and included on pages F-2 through F-14.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

None.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods prescribed by the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer), as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer), performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2019. Based on that evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer), concluded that, as a result of the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as described below as a result of the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting described below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2019.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for the preparation of our financial statements and related information. Management uses its best judgment to ensure that the financial statements present fairly, in material respects, our financial position and results of operations in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in the Exchange Act. These internal controls are 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. There are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any system of internal controls including the possibility of human error and overriding of controls. Consequently, an effective internal control system can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance with respect to reporting financial information.

Our internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to maintaining records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect our transactions; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and that the receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made in accordance with the authorization of our management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding the prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.

Under the supervision of management, including our Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer), we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) and subsequent guidance prepared by the Commission specifically for smaller public companies. Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2019 because it identified the following material weakness and significant deficiencies:

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

We expect to be materially dependent upon third parties to provide us with accounting consulting services for the foreseeable future which we believe mitigates the impact of the material weaknesses discussed above. Until such time as we have a chief financial officer with the requisite expertise in U.S. GAAP and establish an audit committee and implement internal controls and procedures, there are no assurances that the material weaknesses and significant deficiencies in our disclosure controls and procedures will not result in errors in our financial statements which could lead to a restatement of those financial statements.

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer), does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the fourth quarter of 2019, which were identified in connection with management’s evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Item 9B. Other Information

None.

Our common stock is not registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Accordingly, our executive officers and directors and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities are not subject to the beneficial ownership reporting requirements of Section 16(1) of the Exchange Act.

Code of Ethics

We have not adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.

Board and Committee Meetings

Our board of directors held no formal meetings during the year ended December 31, 2019. All proceedings of the board of directors were conducted by resolutions consented to in writing by all the directors and filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the directors. Such resolutions consented to in writing by the directors entitled to vote on that resolution at a meeting of the directors are, according to the Nevada General Corporate Law and our Bylaws, as valid and effective as if they had been passed at a meeting of the directors duly called and held.

Nomination Process

As of December 31, 2019, we did not effect any material changes to the procedures by which our shareholders may recommend nominees to our board of directors. Our board of directors does not have a policy with regards to the consideration of any director candidates recommended by our shareholders. Our board of directors has determined that it is in the best position to evaluate our company’s requirements as well as the qualifications of each candidate when the board considers a nominee for a position on our board of directors. If shareholders wish to recommend candidates directly to our board, they may do so by sending communications to the president of our company at the address on the cover of this annual report.

Audit Committee

Currently our audit committee consists of our entire board of directors. We do not have a standing audit committee as we currently have limited working capital and minimal revenues. Should we be able to raise sufficient funding to execute our business plan, we will form an audit, compensation committee and other applicable committees utilizing our directors’ expertise.

Audit Committee Financial Expert

Currently our audit committee consists of our entire board of directors. We do not currently have a director who is qualified to act as the head of the audit committee.

Item 11. Executive Compensation

The particulars of the compensation paid to the following persons:

Each person has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares of common and preferred stock, except as otherwise indicated. Beneficial ownership consists of a direct interest in the shares of common and preferred stock, except as otherwise indicated.

_________________

Changes in Control

We are unaware of any contract or other arrangement or provisions of our Articles or Bylaws the operation of which may at a subsequent date result in a change of control of our company. There are not any provisions in our Articles or Bylaws, the operation of which would delay, defer, or prevent a change in control of our company.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence

Except as disclosed herein, no director, executive officer, shareholder holding at least 5% of shares of our common stock, or any family member thereof, had any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction, or proposed transaction since the year ended December 31, 2019, in which the amount involved in the transaction exceeded or exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of our total assets at the year-end for the last three completed fiscal years.

Director Independence

We currently act with one director, Jian Wei Yu.

We have determined we do not have an independent director, as that term is used in Rule 4200(a)(15) of the Rules of National Association of Securities Dealers.

Currently our audit committee consists of our entire board of directors. We currently do not have nominating, compensation committees or committees performing similar functions. There has not been any defined policy or procedure requirements for shareholders to submit recommendations or nomination for directors.

From inception to present date, we believe that the members of our audit committee and the board of directors have been and are collectively capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting.

Item 14. Principal Accounting Fees and Services

The aggregate fees billed for the most recently completed fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 and for fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for the audit of our annual financial statements and review of the financial statements included in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for these fiscal periods were as follows:

Our board of directors pre-approves all services provided by our independent auditors. All of the above services and fees were reviewed and approved by the board of directors either before or after the respective services were rendered.

Our board of directors has considered the nature and amount of fees billed by our independent auditors and believes that the provision of services for activities unrelated to the audit is compatible with maintaining our independent auditors’ independence.

INDEX TO AUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 The Board of Directors and Shareholders of

ABV Consulting, Inc.:

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of ABV Consulting, Inc. and Subsidiaries (“the Company”) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended, 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 financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the 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.

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, as of December 31, 2019, the Company has suffered from an accumulated deficit and working capital deficit. These factors create an uncertainty as to 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 the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company 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 audit 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 of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or 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 include 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.

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

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Years Ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

(Currency expressed in United States Dollars (“US$”), except for number of shares)

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION, NATURE OF BUSINESS AND GOING CONCERN

ABV Consulting, Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our,” “ABVN” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Nevada on October 15, 2013, for the purpose of providing merchandising and consulting services to craft beer brewers and distributors. On August 22, 2016, the Company’s founder and prior manager sold all of his shares in the Company, constituting approximately 90.4% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company, and retired from his positions as executive officer and sole director of the Company (the “Change of Control Event”).

Subsequent to the Change of Control Event, our current management pursued a strategic acquisition strategy focused on acquisition target companies with operations located primarily in Southeast Asia, the Pacific Islands, the People’s Republic of China (including Hong Kong and Macau) (the “PRC”), Taiwan and other jurisdictions within Asia, and with operations complimentary to the PRC’s broad “One Belt, One Road” (“OBOR”) regional investment and cooperation initiative. In connection with this strategy, we moved our corporate headquarters from Pennsylvania to Hong Kong.

Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future.

As of December 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $464,938 and net loss of $58,924 and net cash used in operations of $15,635 for the year ended December 31, 2019. Losses have principally occurred as a result of the substantial resources required for professional fees and general and administrative expenses associated with our operations. In addition, with respect to the ongoing and evolving coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, which was designated as a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020, the outbreak has caused substantial disruption in international economies and global trades and if repercussions of the outbreak are prolonged, could have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s business.

The continuation of the Company as a going concern through December 31, 2020 is dependent upon the continued financial support from its stockholders or external financing. Management believes the existing stockholders will provide the additional cash to meet with the Company’s obligations as they become due. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in securing sufficient funds to sustain the operations.

These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Management believes that the actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and implement its strategic plan provides the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

These accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of ABVN and its subsidiary. All significant inter-company balances and transactions within the Company have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Use of estimates

In preparing these consolidated financial statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the balance sheet and revenues and expenses during the years reported. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Foreign currency translation

Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the statement of operations.

The reporting currency of the Company is the United States Dollar (“USD”). The Company’s subsidiary in Hong Kong maintain their books and records in their local currency, the Hong Kong Dollar (“HKD”), which is the functional currency as being the primary currency of the economic environment in which these entities operate.

In general, for consolidation purposes, assets and liabilities of its subsidiary whose functional currency is not the USD are translated into USD, in accordance with ASC 830, “Translation of Financial Statements”, using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the year. The gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the statement of stockholders’ equity.

Translation of amounts from HKD into US$ has been made at the following exchange rates for the respective year:

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost and represent cash on hand, demand deposits placed with banks or other financial institutions and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less as of the purchase date of such investments. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had $4,348 and $4,534 in cash and cash equivalents, respectively.

Fair value of financial instruments

The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments (excluding short-term bank borrowing and note payable): cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and amount due to a related party approximate at their fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments.

The Company also follows the guidance of the ASC Topic 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:

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market information about the financial instrument. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

Accounts receivable

Substantially all of the Company’s accounts receivable balance is related to trade receivables. Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in its existing accounts receivable. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments for services. Accounts with known financial issues are first reviewed and specific estimates are recorded. The remaining accounts receivable balances are then grouped in categories by the number of days the balance is past due, and the estimated loss is calculated as a percentage of the total category based upon past history. Account balances are charged against the allowance when it is probable that the receivable will not be recovered. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had no valuation allowance for doubtful accounts for the Company’s accounts receivable. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company did not record any bad debt expense.

Commitments and contingencies

The Company follows subtopic 450-20 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to report accounting for contingencies. Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or un-asserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or un-asserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.

Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed. Management does not believe, based upon information available at this time, that these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, there is no assurance that such matters will not materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial position, and results of operations or cash flows. 

Revenue recognition

The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014 - 09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606 ), using the full retrospective transition method.

Under ASU 2014 - 09, the Company recognizes revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.

The Company derives its revenues from the rendering of business advisory services, such as training, implementation, consulting, and other customer-specific services. The Company applies the following five steps in order to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as it fulfills its obligations under each of its agreements:

Income taxes

The Company complies with the accounting and reporting requirements of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

ASC Topic 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company’s management determined that the Hong Kong is the Company’s major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, if any, as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of September 30, 2019. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.

The Company may be subject to potential examination by foreign taxing authorities in the area of income taxes. These potential examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with foreign tax laws.

The Company conducts major businesses in Hong Kong and is subject to tax in this jurisdiction. As a result of its business activities, the Company will file tax returns that are subject to examination by the foreign tax authority.

Net loss per share

The Company calculates net loss per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share.” Basic income per share is computed by dividing the net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share is computed similar to basic income per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common stock equivalents had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company has no dilutive securities.

Related parties

Parties, which can be a corporation or individual, are considered to be related if the Company has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operational decisions. Companies are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence.

Retirement plan costs

Contributions to retirement plans (which are defined contribution plans) are charged to general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operation as the related employee service is provided.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) or other standard setting bodies and adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

Accounting Standards Adopted

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (“ASU 2016-02”) in order to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for those leases classified as operating leases under previous generally accepted accounting principles. ASU 2016-02 requires a lessee to recognize a lease liability for future lease payments and a right-of-use asset representing the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term on the balance sheet for most lease arrangements. The new standard also changes many key definitions, including the definition of a lease. The new standard includes a short-term lease exception for leases with a term of 12 months or less, as part of which a lessee can make an accounting policy election not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. Lessees will continue to differentiate between finance leases (previously referred to as capital leases) and operating leases using classification criteria that are substantially similar to the previous guidance in ASC 840.

ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 (including interim periods within those periods) and early adoption is permitted. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases, Targeted Improvements, which provides a new transition option in which an entity initially applies ASU 2016-02 at the adoption date and recognizes a cumulative-effect adjustment in the period of adoption. Prior period comparative balances will not be adjusted. The Company used the new transition option and was also utilizing the package of practical expedients that allows it to not reassess: (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (2) lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and (3) initial direct costs for any existing leases. We also used the short-term lease exception for leases with a term of 12 months or less. Additionally, the Company used the practical expedient that allowed each separate lease component of a contract and the associated non-lease components to be treated as a single lease component. The exercise of lease renewal options is at our discretion and the renewal to extend the lease terms are not included in the Company’s Right-Of-Use assets and lease liabilities as they are not reasonably certain of exercise. The Company will evaluate the renewal options and when they are reasonably certain of exercise, the Company will include the renewal period in its lease term. As of the January 1, 2019, effective date the Company identified one finance lease arrangement in which it is a lessee.

In calculating the present value of the lease payments, the Company applied an individual discount rate for each of its leases, and determined the appropriate discount rate based on the remaining lease terms at the date of adoption. As the lessee to several lease agreements, the Company did not have insight into the relevant information that would be required to arrive at the rate implicit in the lease. Therefore, the Company utilized its outstanding borrowings as a benchmark to determine the incremental borrowing rate for its leases. The benchmark rate was adjusted to arrive at an appropriate discount rate for each lease.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation-Stock Compensation: Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2018-07”), which expands the scope of Compensation – Stock Compensation (“Topic 718”) to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. This amendment applies to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. The Company adopted ASU 2018-07 on January 1, 2019. The impact was immaterial to the financial statements.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-08, Not-For-Profit Entities – Clarifying the Scope and the Accounting Guidance for Contributions Received and Contributions Made (“ASU 2018-08”). ASU 2018-08 clarifies how an entity determines whether a resource provider is participating in an exchange transaction by evaluating whether the resource provider is receiving commensurate value in return for the resources transferred. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after June 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual periods, and has been adopted on a modified prospective basis. The modified prospective adoption is applied to agreements that are not completed as of the effective date, or entered into after the effective date. Under the modified prospective adoption approach, prior period results have not been restated and no cumulative-effect adjustment has been recorded. The Company does not expect this standard to have a material impact on its financial statements.

Accounting Standards Issued, Not Adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). This ASU requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets. ASU 2016-13 also requires new disclosures for financial assets measured at amortized cost, loans and available-for-sale debt securities. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2023. Entities will apply the standard’s provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effect of this standard on its financial statements. The Company does not expect this standard to have a material impact on its financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”), which eliminates, adds and modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The amendment is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently assessing the impact this will have on the financial statements.

In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-18, Collaborative Arrangements (“ASU 2018-18”), which clarifies the interaction between ASC 808, Collaborative Arrangements and ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Certain transactions between participants in a collaborative arrangement should be accounted for under ASC 606 when the counterparty is a customer. In addition, ASU 2018-18 precludes an entity from presenting consideration from a transaction in a collaborative arrangement as revenue if the counterparty is not a customer for that transaction. ASU 2018-18 should be applied retrospectively to the date of initial application of ASC 606. This guidance is effective for interim and fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently assessing the impact this will have on the financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes: Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), which eliminates certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. The new guidance also simplifies aspects of the accounting for franchise taxes and enacted changes in tax laws or rates and clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. The standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. Adoption of the standard requires certain changes to be made prospectively, with some changes to be made retrospectively. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

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