PART I
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:
|
· |
Potential acquisition or merger targets; |
|
· |
Business strategies; |
|
· |
Future cash flows; |
|
· |
Financing plans; |
|
· |
Plans and objectives of management; |
|
· |
Any other statements regarding future acquisitions, future cash needs, future operations, business plans and future financial results; and |
|
· |
Any other statements that are not historical facts. |
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:
|
· |
Volatility or decline of our stock price; |
|
· |
Potential fluctuation of quarterly results; |
|
· |
Failure of the Company to earn revenues or profits; |
|
· |
Inadequate capital to continue or expand our business, and inability to raise additional capital or financing to implement its business plans; |
|
· |
Decline in demand for our products and services; |
|
· |
Rapid adverse changes in markets; |
|
· |
Litigation with or legal claims and allegations by outside parties against the Company; |
|
· |
Insufficient revenues to cover operating costs; |
|
· |
Inability to source attractive investment deal flow on terms favorable to the Company; and |
|
· |
Such other factors as discussed throughout Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. |
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, 2017, 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, 2017, ABV closed the share exchange (the “Exchange”) pursuant to the terms of Agreement. In connection with the closing, on February 28, 2017, 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, 2017, 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, 2017, 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, 2017 (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.

Table of Contents |
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 FY2017. See our Current Report on Form 8-K, dated March 2, 2017, for a description of our former acquisition of Allied Plus (Samoa) Limited (“APSL”), which closed on February 28, 2017 and rescinded on December 19, 2017.
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.
APSL primarily engaged in the business of providing services to agents and financial advisers in Southeast Asia. The management of APSL possesses certain knowledge of investment criteria of OBOR-related investment entities, and provides consulting services to regional consultants and brokers with regard to their efforts to source and promote attractive investment opportunities.
After the completion of the Rescission Agreement, ABV HK has been taking over the OBOR-related roles from APSL.
Marketing and Sales Efforts, Pricing
We engaged a lot of efforts in marketing and sales during 2017, ABV HK entered into two Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) in mid-2017 with two China based companies: Shangdong Rushan Victoria Bay Tourism Development Company Ltd. (“Victoria”) and Zhejiang Zhongmeng United Enterprise Management Shareholding Co. Ltd. (“Zhongmeng UEM”) for developing a Tourism Resort and Organic Pig Farms businesses respectively. See our report on Form 8-K dated August 25, 2017. These two development projects are still in processing to finalize the co-operation Agreement due to the changing policies by the PRC government.
In addition, ABV HK entered a consulting project contract with a Hong Kong based Kid-Friendly Restaurant in September 2017 for providing market research and business plan for Hong Kong region as well as expanding business to Asian markets such as Singapore, Taiwan and China. This consulting project has generated a phase 1 revenue of US$25,641 (HK$200,000) in September 2017, and upon its completion of phase 2 in mid-2018, it will generate another revenue of US$38,462 (HK$300,000).
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.

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.

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 $406,014 through December 31, 2018 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 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the consolidated financial statements that are included in this Report.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Management has considered all recent accounting pronouncements issued since the last audit of our financial statements. The Company’s management believes that these recent pronouncements will not have a material effect on our company’s financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors and Shareholders of
ABV Consulting, Inc.:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of ABV Consulting, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31 2018 and 2017, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ 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, 2018 and 2017, 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 Uncertainty
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has suffered recurring losses and has no operations which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are described in Note 2. 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 consolidated 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 audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, 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 included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2017.

ABV CONSULTING, INC.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS
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.
On June 19, 2017, APSL acquired 100% issued and outstanding equity of ABV Consulting Limited (“ABV HK”) incorporated in Hong Kong, China and ABV HK became our wholly owned subsidiary.
On December 19, 2017, the Company entered into a Rescission Agreement. The Rescission Agreement rescinded the share exchange agreement dated February 24, 2017 (the “Share Exchange Agreement”), between the equity interest owners of APSL.
NOTE 2– GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTIES
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, 2018, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $406,014 and net loss of $60,659 and net cash used in operations of $75,774 for the year ended December 31, 2018. Losses have principally occurred as a result of the substantial resources required for professional fees and general and administrative expenses associated with our operations. The continuation of the Company as a going concern through December 31, 2019 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 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 3 – 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.
F-7 |
|
Table of Contents |
Use of Estimates
In preparing these financial statements, in conformity with GAAP requires 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. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgement. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those 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 period. 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, 2018 and 2017, the Company had $4,534 and $299 in cash and cash equivalents, respectively.
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, 2018 and 2017, the Company had no valuation allowance for doubtful accounts for the Company’s accounts receivable. During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company did not record any bad debt expense.

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, amount due to a related party, other payables and accrued liabilities 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:
· |
Level 1 : Inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets; |
· |
Level 2 : Inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques (e.g. Black-Scholes Option-Pricing model) for which all significant inputs are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Where applicable, these models project future cash flows and discount the future amounts to a present value using market-based observable inputs; and |
· |
Level 3 : Inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques, including option pricing models and discounted cash flow models. |
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.
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
On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014 - 09 , Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606 ), using the full retrospective transition method. The Company's adoption of ASU 2014 - 09 did not have a material impact on the amount and timing of revenue recognized in its consolidated financial statements.
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:
· |
identify 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. |
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 December 31, 2018. 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, 2018 and 2017, 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
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.” The standard provides guidance on how certain cash receipts and payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. For public entities, ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those annual periods, and requires a retrospective approach. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2018 and the adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash.” The standard requires that a statement of cash flows explains the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents (collectively, “restricted cash”). Therefore, restricted cash should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The new guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company adopted this standard retrospectively effective January 1, 2018 and the adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Recent accounting pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (“ASC 842”). The guidance requires lessees to recognize almost all leases on their balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. For income statement purposes, the FASB retained a dual model, requiring leases to be classified as either operating or finance. Lessor accounting is similar to the current model, but updated to align with certain changes to the lessee model and the new revenue recognition standard. Existing sale-leaseback guidance, including guidance for real estate, is replaced with a new model applicable to both lessees and lessors. ASC 842 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is evaluating the adoption of ASC 842, but has not determined the effects it may have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Management has considered all recent accounting pronouncements issued. The Company’s management believes that these recent pronouncements will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
NOTE 4 – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On December 19, 2017, the Company entered into a Rescission Agreement. The Rescission Agreement rescinded the share exchange agreement dated February 24, 2017 (the “Share Exchange Agreement”), between the equity interest owners of APSL.
During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company recorded $32,873 as a gain on the disposal of a subsidiary. The Company has no continuing involvement in the operations of APSL. The disposal of APSL qualified as a discontinued operation of the Company and accordingly, the Company has presented the results of APSL operations from its Statements of Operations to present this business in discontinued operations.
The following table shows the results of operations of APSL for the year ended December 31, 2017, which are included in the loss from discontinued operations:

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, 2018. 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, 2018.
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.

Table of Contents |
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, 2018 because it identified the following material weakness and significant deficiencies:
|
(1) |
lack of a functioning audit committee and lack of a majority of outside directors on the Company’s board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; |
|
(2) |
insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of U.S. GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements; and |
|
(3) |
ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes. |
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 2018, 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.
None.

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, 2018. 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.

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.

_________________
(1) |
Under Rule 13d-3, a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of shares; and (ii) investment power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares. Certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by reason of these acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in this table does not necessarily reflect the person’s actual ownership or voting power with respect to the number of shares of common stock actually outstanding on March 21, 2019. As of March 21, 2019 there were 5,553,000 shares of our company’s common stock issued and outstanding. |
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, 2018, 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, 2018 and for fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 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.
