AB INTERNATIONAL GROUP CORP.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the six months ended February 28, 2021 and February 29, 2020

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

 

AB International Group Corp. (the "Company", "we" or "us") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on July 29, 2013 and originally intended to purchase used cars in the United States and sell them in Krygyzstan. The Company's fiscal year end is August 31.

 

We are an intellectual property (IP) and movie investment and licensing firm, focused on acquisitions and development of various intellectual property. We are engaged to acquisition and distribution of movies. We have a patent license to a video synthesis and release system for mobile communications equipment, in which the technology is the subject of a utility model patent in the People's Republic of China. We had launched a business application (Ai Bian Quan Qiu) through smartphones and official social media accounts based on WeChat platform in February 2019, utilizing Artificial Intelligence, it is a matching platform for performers, advertiser merchants, and owners for more efficient services. We generate revenues through an agency service fee from each matched performance.

 

On January 22, 2016, our former sole officer, who owned 83% of our outstanding common shares, sold all of his common shares to unrelated investor Jianli Deng. After the stock sale, we modified our business to focus on the creation of a mobile app marketing engine. The app was designed for movie trailer promotions and we planned to generate a subscriber base of smartphone users primarily through pre-installed app smartphone makers, online app stores, WeChat official accounts, Weibo and other social network media outlets and sell prepaid cards or coins to movie distributors or other video advertisers in China. We created the app “Amoney” for the Android smartphone platform to develop a WeChat micro-shop that was designed to display and deliver a variety of information and links for download or online watch prices in the China market.

 

On June 1, 2017, we entered into a Patent License Agreement (the “Agreement”) pursuant to which Guangzhou Shengshituhua Film and Television Company Limited, a company incorporated in China (“Licensor”), granted to us a worldwide license to a video synthesis and release system for mobile communications equipment (the “Technology”). The Technology is the subject of a utility patent in the People’s Republic of China. Under the Agreement, we are able to utilize, improve upon, and sub-license the technology for an initial period of one year from October 1, 2017 to September 30, 2018, subject to a right to renew for another five years. We were obligated to pay the Licensor $500,000 within 30 days of the date of the Agreement and a royalty fee in the amount of 20% of any proceeds resulting from our utilization of the Technology, whether in the form of sub-licensing fees or sales of licensed products. Our Chief Executive Officer, Chiyuan Deng and former Chief Executive Officer, Jianli Deng, jointly own and control Licensor. On October 10, 2017, we completed the payment of $500,000 initial payment amount due under the Agreement. In October of 2019, the term of this sublicensing agreement was renewed and extended for another five years. 

 

Our License to the Technology generates revenue through sub-license monthly fees from a smartphone app on Android devices. This smartphone app was already existing and licensed at the time we acquired the Technology of video synthesis. In January, 2021, our sublicensing agreement with Anyone Picture to generate revenues was terminated.

 

Our License to the Technology generates revenue through sub-license monthly fees from a smartphone app on Android devices. This app was already existing and licensed at the time we acquired the Technology.

 

On March 10, 2018, we acquired intellectual property for $200,000 from All In One Media Ltd, previously named as Aura Blocks Ltd. On March 19, 2018, we entered into consulting agreements (the “Consulting Agreements”) with four consultants (the “Consultants”). The Consulting Agreements have terms or either two or three years. Under the Consulting Agreements the Consultants will provide services to us in Hong Kong and China related to blockchain technology and krypto kiosks. In consideration for the services provided by the Consultants, we have issued the Consultants a total of 1,100,000 shares of our common stock. On November 10, 2018, the Company sold this intellectual property to China IPTV Industry Park Holdings Ltd. for $80,000.

 

 

On March 21, 2018, we acquired the intellectual assets of KryptoKiosk Limited, a crypto currencies kiosk company which has licenses and patent in Australia, which enable the operation of cryptocurrency ATMs that allow buying and selling of Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Ethererum all in one terminal. The Company plans to generate revenue through sub-licensing fees for the operation of cryptocurrency ATMs. Through the foregoing the Company proposes to bring a physical aspect to something that is otherwise very abstract to people. We also issued to JPC Fintech Limited 2,400,000 common shares with a market value of $72,000 exchange of KryptoKiosk Limited’s assets consist mostly of intellectual property, including, but not limited to, certain domain names, copyrights, trademarks, and patents pending, but also include contract rights and personal property.

 

We planned to generate revenue through sub-licensing fees for the operation of cryptocurrency ATMs. Through the foregoing, we proposed to bring a physical aspect to something that is otherwise very abstract to people. We planned to invest in machines and sell sub-licenses in the Asia Pacific region with future world-wide expansion. We had promoted and marketed the ATM business for 6 months or until around August 2018, because the BTC and cryptocurrencies price went down. The IP, however, was never transferred to us. We have repeatedly requested from Messrs. Grounds, Vickery and Shakespare access to the domains and websites and other information concerning the IP assets. As of the date of this annual report, no such information has been provided. In addition, the IP including domain names were transferred to others while Messrs. Vickery and Shakespare were officers of our company. As a result, we ceased promotions and marketing on the ATM business and relations cryptocurrencies business in September 2018. On November 21, 2018, we had sent the final notice that JPC Fintech has materially breached the agreement. We requested that JPC Fintech Ltd. return its stock certificate received in the transaction to our transfer agent for immediate cancellation. We have not yet received the certificate for termination. In February of 2020, 100% of the intellectual assets of KryptoKiosk Limited‘s carrying value $48,000 net of amortization is written off since the IP was never transferred to us and no revenue was generated from this intellectual asset.

Furthermore, it was agreed to exchange 2,000,000 shares of our common stock for 2,000,000 shares of common stock in iCrowdU Inc. This share exchange was made as collateral in advance of an investment of $1,935,000 by us into iCrowdU Inc., which never occurred.

 

On or about May 9, 2018, we entered into consultancy agreements with Alexander Holtermann, Ian Wright and Luis Hadic. Each of Messrs. Holtermann, Wright and Hadic received 200,000 shares of our common stock under the consultancy agreements.

Holtermann and Wright and no part of the $10,000,000 was invested by us into iCrowdU Inc.

 

On or about July 31, 2018, we entered into employment agreements with Messrs. Holtermann and Wright for the consideration provided for under the agreements.

 

On October 25, 2018, the above parties entered into an Agreement for Termination and Release that terminated all outstanding agreements among the parties and released each party from the other. We agreed to settle outstanding expenses and costs incurred by iCrowdU Inc., in the sum of $6,444.90. In addition, all parties agreed to return any shares received from the above agreements, save we shall be permitted to retain the 228,013 shares purchased in iCrowdU Inc.

The remaining balance to Aura Blocks Limited is $153,600 as of August 31, 2019. The Company has obtained the exclusive permanent broadcasting right outside the mainland China and is expected to generate revenues from showing the movie online, in theaters, and on TV outside the mainland China once this movie is completed in June, 2019. In August of 2019, the Company sold this movie copyright to China IPTV Industry Park Holding Ltd for $857,600 with a gain of $89,538.

 

 

In December of 2018, we engaged StarEastnet, a software developer that holds 171,000 common shares of the Company as of August 31, 2019, to start developing a performance matching platform (Ai Bian Quan Qiu) and a WeChat official account to advertise the platform. The matching platform is to arrange performance events for celebrities and performers. Performers can set their schedules and quotes on the platform. The platform will maximize their profits from performance events by optimizing their schedules based upon quotes and event locations and save time from commuting among different events. “Ai Bian Quan Qiu” utilizes the artificial intelligence (AI) matching technology to instantly and accurately match performers and advertisers or merchants. The company charges agency service fees for each successful event matched through the platform. Since no large social gathering is allowed as a result of COVID-19, there has been no revenue generated from the performance matching platform (Ai Bian Quan Qiu) since the end of January, 2020. The Company decided that 100% of the carrying amount of Ai Bian Quan Qiu platform and its Wechat official account should be impaired.

 

In June, 2019, the Company completed the development of a video mix APP for social video sharing via iOS and Android smartphones. This app was originally planned to take advantage of the core design philosophy of “My film anyone, anywhere, anytime be together” as similar and competitive innovative video and community apps have been activated on over 2 million unique devices in China as of December 31, 2017 and precipitated the duet video synthesis phenomenon in China. However, the Company decided to focus on the “Ai Bian Quan Qiu” platform as its main business and thus sold the video mix APP to Anyone Pictures Limited, which holds 242,980 common shares of the Company, for $422,400 with a gain of $59,792 in August of 2019. Due to the quarantine and continuous control imposed by the state and local governments in areas affected by COVID-19, merchant advertising events were suspended. The Company decided to shut down the Ai Bian Quan Qiu platform, which has created an adverse impact on the business and financial condition and hampered its ability to generate revenue and access sources of liquidity on reasonable terms.

 

In August of 2019, the Company entered into a one-year loan agreement to lend $1,047,040 at an annual interest rate of 10% to All In One Media Ltd, previously named as Aura Blocks Limited, for producing films and digital videos in Hong Kong. The term of note receivable is from August 1, 2019 to July 31, 2020. This loan principal balance was paid off in full in July, 2020.

 

On September 4, 2019, the Company entered into another loan agreement to lend $1,049,600 at an annual interest rate of 10% to All In One Media Ltd, previously named as Aura Blocks Limited. The term of note receivable is from September 4, 2019 to March 3, 2020. This loan balance was paid off in full on May 4th, 2020 with two months’ extension. 

 

On April 22, 2020, the Company has announced the first phase development of its video streaming service. The online service will be marketed and distributed in the world under the brand name ABQQ.tv. The Company's professional team are sourcing such dramas and films to provide video streaming service on the ABQQ.tv. The video streaming website www.ABQQ.tv was officially launched on December 29, 2020. As of February 28, 2021, the Company acquired 45 movie broadcast rights. The Company will continue marketing and promoting the ABQQ.tv website through GoogleAds and acquire additional broadcast rights for movies and TV series, and plan to charge subscription fees once the Company has obtained at least 200 broadcast rights of movie and TV series.

 

Starting in January 2021, the Company started generating movie box-office revenue from the movie “Ai Bian Quan Qiu”.

 

NOTE 2 –SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and are presented in US dollars. The Company’s year-end is August 31. The financial statements have been prepared on a consolidated basis, with their fully owned subsidiary App Board Limited.

 

Basis of Consolidation

 

The financial statements have been prepared on a consolidated basis, with the Company’s fully owned subsidiary App Board Limited registered and located in Hong Kong. As of February 28, 2021 and August 31, 2020, there were net intercompany receivable balance of $1,681,380 and $9,060, respectively. The intercompany receivable and payable balances are offset to zero in the consolidated financial statements.

 

 

Use of Estimates

 

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

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Foreign Currency Transactions

 

The Company’s planned operations are outside of the United States, which results in exposure to market risks from changes in foreign currency rates. The financial risk arises from the fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degrees of volatility in these rates. Currently the Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical rates and monetary assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates in effect at the end of the year. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates for the year. Gains and losses from translation of foreign currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in current results of operations.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable consist of amounts due from Anyone Pictures Limited for the sub-licensing fee revenue. Amounts 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. No amount for bad debt expense has been recorded by the Company during the six months ended February 28, 2021 and February 29, 2020, and no write-offs for bad debt were recorded for the six months ended February 28, 2021 and February 29, 2020.

 

Prepaid Expenses

 

Prepaid expenses primarily consist of consulting fees that have been paid in advance and prepayments of OTC market annual fee, website domain fee, TV promotion fee, and investor relation fee.

 

The prepaid balances are amortized when the related expense is incurred.

 

Note Receivable

 

Note receivable is a one-year note bearing annual interest of 10% with the principal payable annually at the end of the term. Interest is due and payable, at the election of the Company, in cash on the Maturity Date, as applicable, or if the note receivable is prepaid earlier, on such prepayment date. Therefore, interest income is recorded along with interest receivable throughout the note outstanding periods.

 

Fixed Asset

 

Fixed asset consists of furniture and appliances acquired for the office. The balance is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives listed below:

 

				Estimated Useful Life
	Furniture			7 years
	Appliances			5 years

  

 

Leasehold Improvement

 

Leasehold improvement is related to the enhancements paid by the Company to leased office and store. Leasehold improvement represents capital expenditures for direct costs of renovation or acquisition and design fees incurred. The amortization of leasehold improvements commences once the renovation is completed and ready for the Company’s intended use. Leasehold improvement is amortized over the lease term of 3 years.

 

Intangible Assets

 

Intangible assets are stated at cost and depreciated as follows:

 

●

Mobile application product: straight-line method over the estimated life of the asset, which has been determined by management to be 3 years

 

●

Movie copyrights and broadcast rights: straight-line method over the estimated life of the asset, which has been determined by management to be 2 years

 

●

Patent: straight-line method over the term of 5 years based on the patent license agreement

 

Amortized costs of the intangible asset are recorded as cost of sales, as the intangible asset is directly related to generation of revenues in the Company.

 

Lease property under operating lease

 

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued updated guidance to improve financial reporting about leasing transactions. This guidance required organizations that lease assets to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases. The original guidance required application on a modified retrospective basis with the earliest period presented. In August 2018, the FASB issued new guidance which included an option to not restate comparative periods in transition. Under this new guidance, a company applies the standard to leases in place as of the date of initial application, records a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the first day of the adoption year, and follows the new rules for all leases entered or modified going forward.  The Company adopted this new standard on June 1, 2020 with no retrospective adjustments to prior comparative periods. In accordance with ASC 250-10-45-14, a change in accounting principle made in an interim period shall be reflected as if the entity had adopted the new principle on the first day of the adoption year, which is September 1, 2019 for the Company. As such, the adoption of ASC 842 lease accounting standard has resulted in $196,813 lease liabilities with corresponding $201,025 ROU assets net of amortization as of September 1, 2019 based on the present value of the remaining rental payments under current leasing standards for existing leases. The remaining balance of lease liabilities are presented within the current portion of lease liabilities and the non-current portion of lease liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. 

 

Impairment of Long-lived asset

 

The Company evaluates its long-lived assets or asset group, including intangible assets with indefinite and finite lives, for impairment. Intangible assets with indefinite lives that are not subject to amortization are tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired in accordance with ASC 350. Such impairment test compares the fair values of assets with their carrying values with an impairment loss recognized when the carrying values exceed fair values. For long-lived assets and intangible assets with finite lives that are subject to depreciation and amortization are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances (such as a significant adverse change to market conditions that will impact the future use of the assets) indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or a Group of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. When these events occur, the Company evaluates impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the assets to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the assets, the Company would recognize an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount of the asset group over its fair value.

 

 

Impairment losses are included in G&A expense. There was no impairment loss during the six months ended February 28, 2021. For the six months ended February 29, 2020, the impairment loss of intangible assets was $111,115, including $48,000 for the intellectual assets acquired from KryptoKiosk Limited and $63,115 for the performance matching platform “Ai Bian Quan Qiu” and its WeChat official account.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company adopted ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, applying the modified retrospective method.

  

In accordance with ASC Topic 606, revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services are transferred to a customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or 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:

 

●

the contract with a customer;

 

●

identify the performance obligations in the contract;

 

●

determine the transaction price;

 

●

allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and

 

●

recognize revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied.

 

The Company does not believe that significant management judgements are involved in revenue recognition, but the amount and timing of the Company’s revenues could be different for any period if management made different judgments or utilized different estimates. Generally, the Company recognizes revenue under ASC Topic 606 for its performance obligation.

The Company generates revenue from sub-licensing a patent and charging a service fee from the “Ai Bian Quan Qiu” platform for actors and commercial events matching.

 

The sub-licensing revenue is recognized monthly based upon the number of users who download the APP that utilizes the Company’s patent. The monthly royalty the Company charges Anyone Pictures Limited is $12.8 per 1000 APP users. Both parties agreed to charge the sublicensing fee based upon a fixed number 2,000,000 users.

 

The “Ai Bian Quan Qiu” platform service revenue is derived principally from providing matching service to merchants who are looking for actors to perform at their advertising events. The Company recognizes revenue upon a matching event is accepted by actors with a service fee of 10% of the actors’ quote for performing at the events. For the service fee revenue from the “Ai Bian Quan Qiu” platform, the Company does not control the specified goods or services before that is transferred to the customers and thus the Company is an agent. Therefore, this service revenue is recognized at a net basis.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements” (ASC 820) and ASC 825, “Financial Instruments” (ASC 825), requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. It establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument's categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. It prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1 - Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 - Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.

 

Level 3 - Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

The carrying values of cash, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate fair value. Pursuant to ASC 820 and 825, the fair value of cash is determined based on "Level 1" inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The fair values of warrant liabilities and derivative liabilities embedded in convertible notes are determined by level 3 inputs.

 

 

Accounting for Derivative Instruments

 

The Company accounts for derivative instruments in accordance with ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (ASC 815) and all derivative instruments are reflected as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the balance sheet.

 

The Company uses estimates of fair value to value its derivative instruments. Fair value is defined as the price to sell an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between willing and able market participants. In general, the Company's policy in estimating fair values is to first look at observable market prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets, where available. When these are not available, other inputs are used to model fair value such as prices of similar instruments, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, default rates and credit spreads (including for the Company's liabilities), relying first on observable data from active markets. Additional adjustments may be made for factors including liquidity, credit, bid/offer spreads, etc., depending on current market conditions. Transaction costs are not included in the determination of fair value. When possible, the Company seeks to validate the model's output to market transactions. Depending on the availability of observable inputs and prices, different valuation models could produce materially different fair value estimates. The values presented may not represent future fair values and may not be realizable. The Company categorizes its fair value estimates in accordance with ASC 820 based on the hierarchical framework associated with the three levels of price transparency utilized in measuring financial instruments at fair value as discussed above. Changes in fair value are recognized in the period incurred as either gains or losses.

 

Warrants

 

Warrants are classified as equity and the proceeds from issuing warrants in conjunction with convertible notes are allocated based on the relative fair values of the base instrument of convertible notes and the warrants by following the guidance of ASC 470-20-25-2 as below:

 

Proceeds from the sale of a debt instrument with stock purchase warrants (detachable call options) shall be allocated to the two elements based on the relative fair values of the debt instrument without the warrants and of the warrants themselves at time of issuance. The portion of the proceeds so allocated to the warrants shall be accounted for as paid-in capital. The remainder of the proceeds shall be allocated to the debt instrument portion of the transaction. This usually results in a discount (or, occasionally, a reduced premium), which shall be accounted for as interest expense under Topic 835 Interest.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to FASB ASC 740 “Income Taxes”. Under ASC 740 deferred income taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The provision for income taxes represents the tax expense for the period, if any, and the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

 

ASC 740 also provides criteria for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions. Under ASC 740, the impact of an uncertain tax position on the income tax return may only be recognized at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. At February 28, 2021, there was unrecognized tax benefits. Please see Note 13 for details.

 

Value-Added Taxes

 

The Company generates revenue in People's Republic of China (PRC) via the “Ai Bian Quan Qiu” platform and is subject to a value-added tax at an effective rate of 6%. In accordance with PRC law, the Company is also subject to surcharges, which includes urban maintenance and construction taxes and additional education fees on VAT payable.

 

The Company’s revenue generated from the “Ai Bian Quan Qiu” platform is subject to VAT at a rate of 6% and subject to surcharges at a rate of 12% of the VAT payable.

  

 

Basic and Diluted Income (Loss) Per Share

 

The Company computes income (loss) per share in accordance with FASB ASC 260, “Earnings per Share” which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share on the face of the statement of operations. The earnings per share after the reverse stock split is presented retrospectively as if the reverse split had occurred at the very beginning of the business. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and potential common shares outstanding during the period for warrants, options and restricted shares under treasury stock method, and for convertible debts under if-convertible method, if dilutive. Diluted income (loss) per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period and excludes all potential common shares if their effects are anti-dilutive.

 

In accordance with the Company’s convertible note agreements, the Note Holders have the option to convert all or any lesser portion of the outstanding principal amount and accrued but unpaid interest into common stock at a conversion price equal to a price which is 55% or 60% of the lowest trading price during the 10 or 20 days prior to the day that the Holder requests conversion. 55% is applicable to EMA Financial whereas 60% applies for the other counterparties. The lowest trading price during 10 days prior to conversion is applicable to East Capital and Fidelis Capital, whereas the other counterparties utilize the lowest trading price during the preceding 20 days. The number of diluted shares from convertible notes is calculated with the assumption of converting all the outstanding principal balance and unpaid interest expense to common shares at the beginning of the period or at the time of issuance, if later.

 

The number of diluted shares from warrants is the upper limit to which warrants can be converted into common shares and adjusted for anti-dilution clauses.

 

As of February 28, 2021, 12,436,655 potentially diluted shares were from convertible notes. As of February 29, 2020, 66,791 potentially diluted shares were from convertible notes and 44,680 potentially diluted shares were from warrants.

 

		As of February, 28,
Diluted shares not included in basic loss per share computation		2021				2020
Warrants			—				44,680
Convertible notes			12,436,655				66,791

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases. The standard requires that a lessee recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from operating leases. A lessee should recognize in its balance sheet a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. In transition, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The guidance in ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018.

 

In September 2017, the FASB has issued ASU No. 2017-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605), Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), Leases (Topic 840), and Leases (Topic 842): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to the Staff Announcement at the July 20, 2017 EITF Meeting and Rescission of Prior SEC Staff Announcements and Observer

 

Comments.” The amendments in ASU No. 2017-13 amends the early adoption date option for certain companies related to the adoption of ASU No. 2014-09 and ASU No. 2016-02. Both of the below entities may still adopt using the public company adoption guidance in the related ASUs, as amended. The effective date is the same as the effective date and transition requirements for the amendments for ASU 2014-09 and ASU 2016-02.

 

In February 2018, the FASB issued guidance to address the income tax accounting treatment of the tax effects within other comprehensive income due to the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”). This guidance allows entities to elect to reclassify the tax effects of the change in the income tax rates from other comprehensive income to retained earnings. The guidance is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2018 although early adoption is permitted. The Company has evaluated and concluded that there was no impact on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

 

 

In March 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-05: “Income Taxes (Topic 740)-Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118”. The amendments in this ASU add various SEC paragraphs pursuant to the issuance of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, which expresses the view of the staff regarding application of Topic 740, Income Taxes, in the reporting period that includes December 22, 2017 – the date on which the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was signed into law. The Company has evaluated and concluded that there was no impact on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

 

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07: “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) – Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting”. This ASU expands the scope of Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation (which currently only includes share-based payments to employees) to include share-based payments issued to nonemployees for goods or services. Consequently, the accounting for share-based payments to nonemployees and employees will be substantially aligned. This ASU supersedes Subtopic 505-50, Equity—Equity-Based Payments to Nonemployees. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. For all other companies, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than a company’s adoption date of Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company does not currently expect the adoption of the amendment to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

 

In July 2018, the FSAB issued ASU 2018-10 ASC Topic 842: “Codification Improvements to Leases” The amendments are to address stakeholders’ questions about how to apply certain aspects of the new guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 842, Leases. The clarifications address the rate implicit in the lease, impairment of the net investment in the lease, lessee reassessment of lease classification, lessor reassessment of lease term and purchase options, variable payments that depend on an index or rate and certain transition adjustments. The amendments in ASC Topic 842 are effective for EGC for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. While early application is permitted, including adoption in an interim period, the Company has not elected to early adopt. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this accounting standard update on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842). This update provides entities with an additional (and optional) transition method to adopt the new leases standard. Under this method, an entity initially applies the new leases standard at the adoption date and recognizes a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. Consequently, the prior comparative period’s financials will remain the same as those previously presented. Entities that elect this optional transition method must provide the disclosures that were previously required. The Company is evaluating the effect this new guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement,” to improve the effectiveness of disclosures in the notes to financial statements related to recurring or nonrecurring fair value measurements by removing amounts and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the policy for timing of transfers between levels, and the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. The new standard requires disclosure of the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. The amendments in this update are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019.

 

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes” to remove specific exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and to simplify accounting for income taxes. The standard is effective for public companies for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this accounting standard update on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01, “Investments-Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815,” which clarifies the interaction of the accounting for equity investments under Topic 321 and investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting in Topic 323 and the accounting for certain forward contracts and purchased options accounted for under Topic 815. The standard is effective for public companies for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this accounting standard update on its consolidated financial statements.

If the Market Price of one share of Common Stock is greater than the Exercise Price, the Holder may elect to receive Warrant Shares pursuant to a cashless exercise, in lieu of a cash exercise, equal to the value of this Warrant determined in the manner described below (or of any portion thereof remaining unexercised) by surrender of this Warrant and a Notice of Exercise, in which event the Company shall issue to Holder a number of Common Stock computed using the formula of X = Y (A-B)/A, where X, Y, A, B are as below.

 

X = the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to Holder.

Y = the number of Warrant Shares that the Holder elects to purchase under this

Warrant (at the date of such calculation).

A = the Market Price (at the date of such calculation).

B = Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation).

 

The exercise prices for all the warrants are subject to anti-dilution adjustments. If the Company issues common stocks under a purchase agreement, issue options, or convert notes to common stocks at a lower price than the warrant exercise prices while the warrants are still outstanding, such lower price is the base price that the warrant exercise price can be reduced to. As such, the Holder will receive additional warrant shares to keep the same warrant value as the original issuance before the exercise price is adjusted down.

 

 

A summary of the status of the Company’s warrants as of February 28, 2021 is presented below. The number of shares is adjusted in accordance with the anti-dilution adjustment and equals the original number of warrant shares times the original exercise prices divided by based prices. Base price is either the note conversion price or the share issuance price used by the Company while the warrants are outstanding.

 

		Number of warrants
		Original shares issued				Anti-dilution Adjusted
Warrants as of August 31, 2020			793,920				68,163,661
Warrants granted			—				—
Exercised, forfeited or expired			(793,920	)			(68,163,661)
Outstanding as of February 28, 2021			—				—
Exercisable as of February 28, 2021			—				—

 

(1). Exercise price is reduced to the latest base price. Base price is either the note conversion price or the share issuance price, which the Company used while the warrants were outstanding.

(2). The number of shares is adjusted in accordance with the anti-dilution clause per the warrant agreement and equals the original number of warrant shares times the original exercise prices divided by base price.

 

NOTE 10 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

The Company applies ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 requires disclosures to be provided on fair value measurement.

 

ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

 

Level 1 — Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 — Include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.

 

ASC 820 describes three main approaches to measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities: (1) market approach; (2) income approach; and (3) cost approach. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated from market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present value amount. The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. The cost approach is based on the amount that would currently be required to replace an asset.

 

Derivative liabilities of conversion features in convertible notes are classified within Level 3. We estimate the fair values of these liabilities at February 28, 2021 by using Monte Carlo simulation based on the remaining contractual terms, risk-free interest rates, and expected volatility of the stock prices, etc. The assumptions used, including the market value of stock prices in the future and the expected volatilities, were subjective unobservable inputs.

 

 

Liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of February 28, 2021 are summarized below:

 

			Fair value measurement using:
			Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1)				Significant other observable inputs   ( Level 2)				Unobservable inputs ( Level 3)				Total Fair value at February 28, 2021
Derivative liabilities		$	—			$	—			$	45,490			$	45,490

 

 

		Derivative liabilities embedded in convertible notes
Fair value at August 31, 2020		$	64,584
Increase from note issuances			74,187
Decrease from note conversions			(33,490)
Changes in the fair value			58,090
Fair value at November 30, 2020		$	163,372
Increase from note issuances			—
Decrease from note prepayment			(136,321)
Changes in the fair value			18,439
Fair value at February 28, 2021		$	45,490

 

NOTE 11– RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

In support of the Company’s efforts and cash requirements, it may rely on advances from related parties until such time that the Company can support its operations or attains adequate financing through sales of its equity or traditional debt financing. There is no formal written commitment for continued support by shareholders. Amounts represent advances or amounts paid in satisfaction of liabilities. The advances are considered temporary in nature and have not been formalized by a promissory note. As of February 28, 2021 and August 31, 2020, there are no such related party transactions.

 

The Company has entered into a patent license agreement with a related party Guangzhou Shengshituhua Film and Television Company Limited (“Licensor”). The agreement is for a term of 5 years commencing on the effective date on June 1, 2017. The Company has already paid the licensor a non-refundable, up-from payment of $500,000 and shall pay a royalty of 20% of the gross revenue realized from the sale of licensed products and sub-licensing of this patent every year. The royalty expenses during the six months ended February 28, 2021 and February 29, 2020 are $30,720 and $30,720, respectively.

 

Youall Perform Services Ltd, owned by the Company’s Board of Director Jianli Deng, has been collecting revenue on behalf of the Company from the performance matching platform “Ai Bian Quan Qiu”. As of February 28, 2021, the Company has $1,439 related party receivable from Youall Perform Services Ltd for the revenue collected from “Ai Bian Quan Qiu” on behalf of the Company.

 

In September 2019, the company entered into an agreement with Youall Perform Services Ltd for two transactions. 1) The Company pays Youall Perform Services Ltd. 10% of the revenue generated from the “Ai Bian Quan Qiu” platform every month to reimburse the valued-added tax, tax surcharges, and foreign transaction fee Youall Perform Services Ltd. has been paying on behalf of the Company. 2) Youall Perform Services Ltd. will provide IT consulting service for “Ai Bian Quan Qiu” platform upgrade and maintenance at a total cost of $128,000, out of which $108,800 has been paid. As there has been no revenue from “Ai Bian Quan Qiu” due to COVID-19 since mid-January, 2020, $108,800 long-term prepayment was expensed as research and development expense in FY2020. In July 2020, the Company changed the service scope of this agreement and turned it into a website maintenance contract over the next two years. The major website of this Company is ABQQ.tv for video streaming. The contract amount remains to be $128,000, out of which $108,800 was previously paid and $19,200 will be due on the twenty first month after the contract related signing date of July 31, 2020.

 

 

The Company rented an office from Zestv Studios Ltd., owned by the Chief Executive Officer Chiyuan Deng, and incurred a total related party payable of $5,504 as there is a one-month lag in payment of the office rent.

 

On August 29, 2020, the Company entered into a Separation Agreement and Release with each of Jianli Deng, Lijun Yu and Linqing Ye. Pursuant to the agreements, Mr. Deng resigned as Secretary and Treasurer, Ms. Yu resigned as Chief Marketing Officer and Mr. Ye resigned as Chief Operating Officer.

On December 22, 2017, the United States enacted the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) resulting in significant modifications to existing law. The Company has completed the accounting for the effects of the Act. The Company’s financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2019 reflect certain effects of the Act which includes a reduction in the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% as well as other changes.

 

Components of net deferred tax assets, including a valuation allowance, are as follows as of February 28, 2021 and August 31, 2020:

 

		February 28, 2021				August 31, 2020
Deferred tax asset attributable to:
Net operating loss carry over		$	534,090			$	447,765
Less: valuation allowance			(534,090	)			(447,765)
Net deferred tax asset		$	—			$	—

 

The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets was $534,090 as of February 28, 2021 and $447,765 as of August 31, 2020. In assessing the recovery of the deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income in the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversals of future deferred tax assets, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. As a result, management determined it was more likely than not the deferred tax assets would not be realized as of February 28, 2021 and August 31, 2020.

 

Reconciliation between the statutory rate and the effective tax rate is as follows for the six months ended February 28, 2021 and February 29, 2020:

In accordance with ASC 855-10, the Company has analyzed its operations subsequent to February 28, 2021 to the date these financial statements were issued.

 

Covid-19 impact:

 

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) surfaced. The spread of COVID-19 around the world in the first quarter of 2020 has caused significant volatility in the U.S. and international markets. The ultimate disruption which may be caused by the outbreak is uncertain; however, it may result in a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position, operations and cash flows. It is too early to quantify the impact this situation will have on company revenue and profits at this time. Possible areas that may be affected include, but are not limited to, disruption to the Company’s customers and revenue, labor workforce, unavailability of supplies used in operations, etc. Accordingly, Management is evaluating the Company’s liquidity position, reduction in revenues, and reviewing the analysis of the Company’s financial performance as the Company seeks to withstand the uncertainty related to the coronavirus. As no large-crowd gathering has been allowed since the outbreak of COVID-19, the Company has not generated any revenue from the Ai Bian Quan Qiu performance matching platform. Consequently, the Company has decided to impair all of the intangible asset carrying value related to the Ai Bian Quan Qiu performance matching platform and its Wechat official account, given that it is uncertain whether this platform will continue generating any revenue.

Overview 

 

AB International Group Corp. (the "Company", "we" or "us") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on July 29, 2013 and originally intended to purchase used cars in the United States and sell them in Krygyzstan. The Company's fiscal year end is August 31.

 

We are an intellectual property (IP) and movie investment and licensing firm, focused on acquisitions and development of various intellectual property. We are engaged to acquisition and distribution of movies. We have a Patent License to a video synthesis and release system for mobile communications equipment, in which the technology is the subject of a utility model patent in the People's Republic of China. We had launched a business application (Ai Bian Quan Qiu) through smartphones and official social media accounts based on WeChat platform in February 2019, utilizing Artificial Intelligence, it is a matching platform for performers, advertiser merchants, and owners for more efficient services. We generate revenues through an agency service fee from each matched performance.  Due to the quarantine and continuous control imposed by the state and local governments in areas affected by COVID-19, merchant advertising events have been suspended for 7 months. The Company decided to shut down the Ai Bian Quan Qiu platform, which has created an adverse impact on the business and financial condition and hampered its ability to generate revenue and access sources of liquidity on reasonable terms.

 

On June 1, 2017, we entered into a Patent License Agreement (the “Agreement”) pursuant to which Guangzhou Shengshituhua Film and Television Company Limited, a company incorporated in China (“Licensor”), granted to us a worldwide license to a video synthesis and release system for mobile communications equipment (the “Technology”). The Technology is the subject of a utility patent in the People’s Republic of China. Under the Agreement, we are able to utilize, improve upon, and sub-license the technology for an initial period of one year from October 1, 2017 to September 30, 2018, subject to a right to renew for another five years. We were obligated to pay the Licensor $500,000 within 30 days of the date of the Agreement and a royalty fee in the amount of 20% of any proceeds resulting from our utilization of the Technology, whether in the form of sub-licensing fees or sales of licensed products. Our Chief Executive Officer, Chiyuan Deng and former Chief Executive Officer, Jianli Deng, jointly own and control Licensor. On October 10, 2017, we completed the payment of $500,000 initial payment amount due under the Agreement. In October of 2019, the term of this sublicensing agreement was renewed and extended for another five years. 

 

 

Our License to the Technology generates revenue through sub-license monthly fees from a smartphone app on Android devices. This smartphone app was already existing and licensed at the time we acquired the Technology of video synthesis. In January, 2021, our sublicensing agreement with Anyone Picture to generate revenues was terminated.

 

On April 22, 2020, the Company has announced the first phase development of a video streaming service. The online service will be marketed and distributed in the world under the brand name ABQQ.tv. ABQQ.tv is expected to generate a new and profitable revenue stream derived from its hybrid subscription and advertising business model. We launched the video streaming service at the end of 2020 and the service now feature Chinese movies, television shows and drama series with unique content and exclusive to the company. We launched the video streaming website of www.ABQQ.tv on December 29, 2020. As of February 28, 2021, the Company acquired 45 movie broadcast rights. We will continue marketing and promoting the ABQQ.tv website through GoogleAds and acquire additional broadcast rights for movies and TV series. The Company plans to charge subscription fees to generate revenue once ABQQ.tv has at least 200 broadcast rights for movies and TV series.

 

Starting in January 2021, the Company started generating movie box-office revenue from the movie “Ai Bian Quan Qiu”.

 

Covid-19

 

The full extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, operations and financial results will depend on numerous evolving factors that we may not be able to accurately predict at the present time. In an effort to contain COVID-19 or slow its spread, governments around the world have enacted various measures, including orders to close all businesses not deemed “essential,” isolate residents to their homes or places of residence, and practice social distancing when engaging in essential activities. We anticipate that these actions and the global health crisis caused by COVID-19 will negatively impact business activity across the globe. The movie industry in general has changed dramatically as a result of the pandemic restrictions. While movie theaters struggle to stay alive, online streaming programming has increased. We have endeavored to stay with the trend for streaming services to remain competitive. We have experienced the negative impact in our results of operations and in our financial condition for the year ended August, 2020, especially with respect to the movie distribution end of our business. These impacts concern delays in delivering our movies and IP because of health restrictions imposed on certain public events that concern our business, including, among other things, theaters, indoor and outdoor performances, filming restrictions, music festivals, concerts and other such events, Some of these restrictions include pandemic government mandated shutdowns and others restrictions on capacity gathered at these events, with some jurisdictions imposing fines or revocation of business licensing, and other restrictions. As a result of these factors, our revenue was reduced from March to May of 2020. With immediate closures, the resultant industry and business specific delays have negatively affected our company.

 

We plan to focus on the video streaming and other web based applications and expand our business into those areas that we believe we situate the company for continued and increased revenues. As the pandemic is forecasted to worsen in the United States and other areas around the globe, we believe that the demand for our IP, online products and services offerings increases. While we cannot guarantee that the negative effects of the pandemic will not interfere with our ability to generate revenues, we intend to strengthen our position in this dynamic market and position the company to best suit its shareholders.

 

Specific to our company operations, during the pandemic period, we have enacted precautionary measures to protect the health and safety of our employees and partners. These measures include closing our office, having employees work from home, and eliminating all travel. While having employees work from home may have a negative impact on efficiency and may result in negligible increases in costs, it does have an impact on our ability to execute on our agreements to deliver our core products.

 

We will continue to actively monitor the situation and may take further actions that alter our business operations as may be required by federal, state, local or foreign authorities, or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers, partners and stockholders. It is not clear what the potential effects any such alterations or modifications may have on our business, including the effects on our customers, partners, or vendors, or on our financial results.

 

 

Results of Operations

 

Revenues 

 

Our total revenue reported for the six months ended February 28, 2021 was $851,309, compared with $294,743 for the six months ended February 29, 2020.

 

18% and 52% of revenue was generated from one customer during the six months ended February 28, 2021 and February 29, 2020, respectively.

 

The increase in revenue for the six months ended February 28, 2021 over the six months ended February 29, 2020 is attributable to the movie box-office revenue of $697,709 from the movie “Ai Bian Quan Qiu”.

 

Our cost of revenues was $454,927 for the six months ended February 28, 2021, as compared with $95,025 for the six months ended February 29, 2020.

 

As a result, we had gross profit of $396,382 for the six months ended February 28, 2021, as compared with gross profit of $199,718 for the six months ended February 29, 2020. The increase in gross profit margin is due to the movie box-office revenue from the movie “Ai Bian Quan Qiu”.

 

Operating Expenses 

 

Operating expenses increased to $949,134 for the six months ended February 28, 2021 from $522,096 for the six months ended February 29, 2020.

 

Our operating expenses for six months ended February 28, 2021 consisted of general and administrative expenses of $764,796 and related party salary and wages of $184,337. In contrast, our operating expenses for the six months ended February 29, 2020 consisted of general and administrative expenses of $433,244 and related party salary and wages of $88,852.

 

We experienced an increase in general and administrative expenses in 2021 over 2020, mainly as a result of increased rent, salaries, valuation fees, consulting fees, transaction costs for issuing preferred shares, travel and entertainment, and depreciation expense, etc.

 

We experienced an increase in related party salary and wages as the Chief Executive Officer started receiving cash salary in the fiscal year of 2021 and received both cash bonus and stock-based compensation in February, 2021. During the six months ended February 28, 2021, the Company paid the Chief Executive Officer $90,000 salary, $50,000 bonus in cash, and $30,100 stock-based compensation. In addition, the Company hired Chief Investment Officer on February 22, 2021 and $1,710 cash salary and $27 stock-based compensation were paid to Chief Investment Officer for the six months ended Feb 28, 2021.

 

We anticipate our operating expenses will increase as we undertake our plan of operations, including increased costs associated with marketing, personnel, and other general and administrative expenses, along with increased professional fees associated with SEC and COVID compliance as our business grows more complex and more expensive to maintain. On the COVID front, we expect that our online operations will increase, as we use online working systems to monitor and communicate with employees, consultants and suppliers. These and other costs for COVID expenditures will increase our operational costs in fiscal 2022 at various levels of operation.

 

Other Expenses

 

We had other expenses of $326,549 for the six months ended February 28, 2021, as compared with other expenses of $92,953 for the six months ended February 29, 2020.

Net Loss

 

We incurred a net loss in the amount of $879,301 for the six months ended February 28, 2021, as compared with a net loss of 415,331 for the six months ended February 29, 2020. 

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of February 28, 2021, we had $1,189,690 in current assets consisting of cash, prepaid expenses, accounts receivable, related party receivables and other receivables. Our total current liabilities as of February 28, 2021 were $501,076. As a result, we have working capital of $688,614 as of February 28, 2021.

Our negative operating cash flow in 2021 was mainly the result of our net loss for the year combined with changes in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Our positive operating cash flow in 2020 was mainly the result of our net loss for the year combined with changes in long term prepayments.

 

Investing activities used $2,880,733 in cash for the six months ended February 28, 2021, as compared with $1,049,600 used for the six months ended February 29, 2020. Our negative investing cash flow for February 28, 2021 was mainly the result of the purchase of a movie and TV series broadcast right and copyright. Our negative investing cash flow for February 29, 2020 was the result of proceeds from a note receivable collection.

 

Financing activities provided $1,066,639 for the six months ended February 28, 2021, as compared with $311,360 provided in financing activities for the six months ended February 29, 2020.

Our positive financing cash flow for February 28, 2020 was the result of proceeds from convertible notes.

 

Based upon our current financial condition, we do not have sufficient cash to operate our business at the current level for the next twelve months. We intend to fund operations through increased sales and debt and/or equity financing arrangements, which may be insufficient to fund expenditures or other cash requirements. We plan to seek additional financing in a private equity offering to secure funding for operations. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising additional funding. If we are not able to secure additional funding, the implementation of our business plan will be impaired. There can be no assurance that such additional financing will be available to us on acceptable terms or at all.

 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of February 28, 2021, there were no off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

In December 2001, the SEC requested that all registrants list their most “critical accounting polices” in the Management Discussion and Analysis. The SEC indicated that a “critical accounting policy” is one which is both important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results, and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.

 

Our critical accounting policies are set forth in Note 2 to the financial statements.

  

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

We do not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flow.

 

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

We are a smaller reporting company and are not required to provide the information under this item pursuant to Regulation S-K.

  

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of October 31, 2018. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of February 28, 2021, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the presence of material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting.

 

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 company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Management has identified the following material weaknesses which have caused management to conclude that, as of February 28, 2021, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective: (i) inadequate segregation of duties and effective risk assessment; and (ii) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of both US GAAP and SEC guidelines.

 

Remediation Plan to Address the Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Our company plans to take steps to enhance and improve the design of our internal controls over financial reporting. During the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, we have not been able to remediate the material weaknesses identified above. To remediate such weaknesses, we plan to implement the following changes during our fiscal year ending August 31, 2021: (i) appoint additional qualified personnel to address inadequate segregation of duties and ineffective risk management; and (ii) adopt sufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting. The remediation efforts set out are largely dependent upon our securing additional financing to cover the costs of implementing the changes required. If we are unsuccessful in securing such funds, remediation efforts may be adversely affected in a material manner.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the six months ended February 28, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonable likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls

 

Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will necessarily prevent all fraud and material error.   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. Because of 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 the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the internal control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

 

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

We are not a party to any material pending legal proceeding. We are not aware of any pending legal proceeding to which any of our officers, directors, or any beneficial holders of 5% or more of our voting securities are adverse to us or have a material interest adverse to us.
