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.

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. 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, 2018, the term of this sublicensing agreement was renewed and extended until October 31, 2019.

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.

On May 9, 2018, we entered into an investor agreement with iCrowdU Inc. We agreed to purchase 228,013 shares of iCrowdU Inc. at a share price of $1.228 for total consideration of $280,000. iCrowdU Inc. offers an online platform and mobile app for crowd funding services targeting the global crowd funding market.

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.

On or about July 26, 2018, we entered into an investment agreement with iCrowdU Inc. for the purchase of 40% of iCrowdU in exchange for 8,000,000 shares of our common stock that would be split between Messrs. Holtermann and Wright at 70% and 30%, respectively, and an investment of $10,000,000. The 8,000,000 shares were cut but not delivered to Messrs. 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. Finally, we agreed to amend our Current Report on Form 8-K concerning certain disclosures made therein. We amended the report as per the agreement.

On September 5, 2018, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire a movie copyright for $768,000 from All In One Media Ltd, which holds 200,000 common shares of the Company as of August 31, 2019 and is previously named as Aura Blocks Limited. 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.

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.

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.

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. The Company expects to have similar short term note receivables for the next few years.

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. No intercompany balances or transactions exist during the period ended November 30, 2019 and 2018.

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 arise 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 three months ended November 30, 2019 and 2018, and no write-off for bad debt were recorded for the three months ended November 30, 2019 and 2018.

Prepaid Expenses

Prepaid expenses primarily consist of consulting fees that have been paid in advance and prepayments of OTC market annual fee and website domain 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 period.

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:

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:

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.

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 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. During the year of 2019, 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.

Leasing

The Company has operating leases for an office and a store for display with expiration dates through 2022. The Company determines whether an arrangement is or includes an embedded lease at contract inception. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

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 recorded values of all other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations.

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.

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 November 30, 2019, there was unrecognized tax benefits. Please see Notes 12 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.

For the three months ended November 30, 2019, 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. The Company did not incur any VAT tax for the three months ended November 30, 2018 as the “Ai Bian Quan Qiu” platform did not start generating revenue until February, 2019.

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. 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 income (loss) per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive loss per share excludes all potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.

No potentially dilutive debt or equity instruments were issued or outstanding as of November 30, 2019 and August 31, 2019.

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.

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.

Components of net deferred tax assets, including a valuation allowance, are as follows as of November 30, 2019 and August 31, 2019:

The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets was $203,848 as of November 30, 2019 and $201,056 as of August 31, 2019. 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 November 30, 2019 and August 31, 2019.

Reconciliation between the statutory rate and the effective tax rate is as follows for the three months ended November 30, 2019 and 2018:

Overview

AB International Group Corp. (the "Company", "we" or "us") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on July 29, 2013 ("Inception") 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.

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 model 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 5 years, subject to a right to renew for an additional 5 year term. 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 all amounts due under the Agreement.

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.

We are in the process of using the underlying Technology to create a smartphone video mix app and social video sharing platform. We are developing this new apps for use with iOS and Android smartphones and we expect to launch the app sometime in the beginning of next year. We expect that this new app will transform the way users create and share art talent and fun. The app is expected to take advantage of the core design philosophy of “My film anyone, anywhere, anytime be together.” 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. Today, the word “Meitu” is used as a verb for “enhancing images”, amd TikTok is a short video sharing platform. Our Videomix app, yet to be released, is expected to be used as a verb for “enhancing videos synthesis production,” but also as a brand that represents talent, trendiness, youthfulness and funniness.

To better meet our users’ demands for higher quality selfies, we are also planning to launch the Patent (Mobile communication equipment video synthesis production and distribution system) License Program. The program markets our Technology to big brand smartphones makers to highlight our patent apps integrate proprietary video synthesis production and distribution system processing algorithms and specialized video processors, which generate high-quality selfies duet video synthesis. We have been in discussion with these smartphone makers about our initiatives and selling points in an effort to increase sales. Revenue from this program will be generated by license fees for each smartphone with this video synthesis production and distribution system function.

Fundamentally, we view ourselves as a mobile Internet company with our core asset being our massive, active and fast-growing user base through registered patent--Mobile communication equipment video synthesis production and distribution system.

We believe that the VideoMix app will become an important part of users’ social lives online. We believe the provision of relevant products, content and services will help us monetize our user base and enable us to create value for our users at the same time. We intend to continue to drive our near-term revenue growth through patent--Mobile communication equipment video synthesis production and distribution system license fees from smartphone makers, since China’s large smartphone market continues to present significant opportunities. Our goal is that at least 10% of smartphones in China will eventually contain this integrated patent function. If we meet this goal, which would equate to around 40 million smartphones, which in turn result in about 200 million RMB in revenue generated from patent license fees. As we have not yet commercialized the app for sale, we do not expect to achieve any revenues until we launch the app and make it available under our program, and we can provide no assurances that we will be able to achieve commercialization or our revenue goals for the app. According to preliminary data of the IDC Quarterly Mobile Phone Tracker, the Chinese smartphone market shipped 105 million units during the second quarter of 2018. Following our successful monetization through smartphones, we have also identified three other major opportunities for monetization, including content use fees, advertising fees, KOL agency fees.

On March 10, 2018, we acquired intellectual property from Aura Blocks Ltd. for $200,000.

This movie will also be included in the video library for the Company’s VideoMix app.

In December of 2018, we started 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.

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.

Results of Operations

Revenues

Our total revenue reported for the three months ended November 30, 2019 was $156,405, compared with $74,240 for the three months ended November 30, 2018. The increase in revenue for the three months ended November 30, 2019 over the same periods ended 2018 is attributable to increased revenue from sublicensing the VideoMix patent to Anyone Pictures Limited and the new revenue stream of performance matching service fees generated from the Fan Dou He Pai Wechat Official account. 

We expect to continue to achieve steadily increasing revenues within the coming months. However, as we are a start-up, we have limited operating history to rely upon and we cannot guarantee that our business plan will be successful.

Our cost of revenues was $52,046 for the three months ended November 30, 2019, as compared with $43,448 for the same period ended November 30, 2018.

As a result, we had gross profit of $104,358 for the three months ended November 30, 2019, as compared with gross profit of $30,792 for the same period ended November 30, 2018.

We had a gross profit margin of 67% for the three months ended November 30, 2019, an increase from 41% over the same period ended 2018. The reason for the increase in our gross profit margin in 2019 over 2018 is attributable to revenue from the Wechat Official account for the Fan Dou He Pai performance matching platform that started generating revenue in February, 2019 .

Operating Expenses 

Operating expenses increased to $202,117 for the three months ended November 30, 2019 from $139,346 for the three months ended November 30, 2018.

Our operating expenses for the three months ended November 30, 2019 consisted of general and administrative expenses of $155,743 and related party salary and wages of $46,373. In contrast, our operating expenses for the same period ended November 30, 2018 consisted of general and administrative expenses of $72,862 and related party salary and wages of $66,484. The detail by major category is reflected in the table below.

The main reason for the increase in operating expenses is attributable to increased professional service fee, stock based compensation expense, salary, rent, and depreciation of leasehold improvement and fixed asset .

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 compliance as our business grows more complex and more expensive to maintain.

Other Income (Expenses)

We had other income of $34,404 for the three months ended November 30, 2019, as compared with other expenses of $120,000 for the same period ended 2018. Our other income for 2019 is the result of interest income of $52,488 in connection with our loans to All In One Media, previously named as Aura Blocks Limited, in August and September of 2019, respectively, offset by $18,084 loss on change in fair value of derivative liability. The note receivable entered in August, 2019 is a one-year loan of $1,280,000 the Company lent to All In One Media Ltd at an annual interest rate of 10%. The note receivable entered in September, 2019 is a loan of $1,049,600 at an annual interest rate of 10% to All In One Media Ltd with a term from September 4, 2019 to March 3, 2020. Our other expense for the three months ended November 30, 2018 is the result of the sale of intellectual property. On November 10, 2018, the Company sold the $200,000 intellectual property from All In One Media, previously named as Aura Blocks Limited for $80,000 with a realized loss of $120,000. We recorded this realized loss as other expenses in the amount of $120,000 for the three months ended November 30, 2018.

Net (Loss) Income

We incurred a net loss in the amount of $63,354 for the three months ended November 30, 2019, as compared with a net loss of $228,554 for the same period ended November 30, 2018.

As of November 30, 2019, we had $3,512,216 in current assets consisting of cash, prepaid expenses, accounts receivable, related party receivable, note receivable and interest receivable. Our total current liabilities as of November 30, 2019 were $264,033. As a result, we have working capital of $3,248,183 as of November 30, 2019.

Operating activities provided $769,671 in cash for the three months ended November 30, 2019, as compared with $199,500 used in cash provided for the same period ended November 30, 2018. Our positive operating cash flow in 2019 was mainly the result of our receivable of $1,280,000 on asset disposal in connection with our loan to All In One Media. Our negative operating cash flow in 2018 was mainly the result of our net loss of $228,554 and change in our prepaid expenses of $151,100.

Investing activities used $1,049,600 in cash for the three months ended November 30, 2019, as compared with $80,000 provided for the same period ended November 30, 2018. Our negative investing cash flow for November 30, 2019 was the result of a $1,049,000 note receivable. Our positive investing cash flow for November 30, 2018 was the result of $80,000 in the sale of intangible assets.

We did not have any financing activities during the quarters ended November 30, 2019 and 2018.

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 November 30, 2019, 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 November 30, 2019, 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 November 30, 2019, 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, 2020: (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 three months ended November 30, 2019 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.
