NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Exent Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on February 15, 2017. The Company was primarily engaged in manufacturing and sales of steel drywall studs since its inception.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, the Company sold the machine it was utilizing for studs manufacturing as it was outdated. Production was thus placed on hold until new equipment could be purchased.

On February 3, 2020, pursuant to a stock purchase agreement dated on January 21, 2020, an individual investor (Mr. Weining Zheng) purchased 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock from its then majority shareholder, Marat Asylbekov, representing 74% of the voting securities of the Company. Following this change of control, the Company changed its business plan to engage in the “smart-home” business in the People’s Republic of China.

The Company plans to conduct smart-home business in the People’s Republic of China, with a focus on developing, promoting and executing high quality integrated smart-home systems and solutions. The Company is presently evaluating the optimal corporate and legal structures in China necessary to establish its business. The Company aims to start the smart-home business in 2020 and the funds to financing the start-up of the new business will primarily come from its majority shareholder, Mr. Zheng.

GOING CONCERN

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company has incurred a loss since inception (February 15, 2017) resulting in an accumulated deficit of $65,374 as of March 31, 2020 and further losses are anticipated in the development of its business. Accordingly, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company generating profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Management intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months primarily through financings from the Company’s major shareholder.

These financial statements do not reflect adjustments that would be necessary if the Company were unable to continue as a “going concern.” While management believes that the actions already taken or planned will mitigate the adverse conditions and events which raise doubt about the validity of the “going concern” assumption used in preparing these financial statements, there can be no assurance that these actions will be successful. If the Company were unable to continue as a “going concern,” then substantial adjustments would be necessary to the reported amounts of its liabilities, the reported expenses and the balance sheet classifications used.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The Company’s unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring items, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations for the periods shown and are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2020. These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Basic Earnings (Loss) Per Share

The Company computes earnings (loss) per share in accordance with “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 loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period. Diluted 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. There were no dilutive shares outstanding as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents to the extent the funds are not being held for investment purposes.

Dividends

The Company has not adopted any policy regarding payment of dividends. No dividends have been paid during any of the periods shown.

Income Taxes

The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying values and their respective income tax basis (temporary differences). The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

Advertising Costs

The Company’s policy regarding advertising is to expense advertising when incurred. The Company did not incur any advertising expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company will follow Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718-10, Stock Compensation, which addresses the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services, with a primary focus on transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. ASC 718-10 requires measurement of the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). Incremental compensation costs arising from subsequent modifications of awards after the grant date must be recognized.

For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company has not issued any stock-based payments to its employees. To date, the Company has not adopted a stock option plan and has not granted any stock options.

Revenue Recognition

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers that supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance. The updated guidance, and subsequent clarifications, collectively referred to as ASC 606, require an entity to recognize revenue when it transfers control of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Previously we recorded revenue based on ASC Topic 605. Adoption of new accounting standard did not have any material impact on our reported revenue.

Revenue is recognized when the following criteria are met:

The Company did not generate any revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

Property and equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Depreciation of property and equipment is calculated on a straight-line basis, after consideration of expected useful lives and estimated residual values. The estimated annual deprecation rate of these assets are generally as follows:

Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Gains and losses on disposals are the differences between net sales proceeds and carrying amount of the relevant assets and are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate carrying amounts of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. When such events or changes in circumstances are present, the Company assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets by determining whether the carrying value of such assets will be recovered through undiscounted expected future cash flows. If the total of the future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of those assets, the Company recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell.

Subsequent Events

The Company follows the guidance in ASC 855-10-50 for the disclosure of subsequent events. The Company evaluates subsequent events from the date of the balance sheet through the date when the financial statements are issued.

Taxation

Current income taxes are provided on the basis of net profit for financial reporting purposes, adjusted for income and expense items which are not assessable or deductible for income tax purposes, in accordance with the regulations of the relevant tax jurisdictions.

Deferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements, net operating loss carry forwards and credits. 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. Current income taxes are provided in accordance with the laws of the relevant taxing authorities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted rates expected to apply to taxable income in which temporary differences are expected to be reversed or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of changes in tax rates is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income in the period of the enactment of the change.

The Company considers positive and negative evidence when determining whether a portion or all of its deferred tax assets will more likely than not be realized. This assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of current and cumulative losses, forecasts of future profitability, the duration of statutory carry-forward periods, its experience with tax attributes expiring unused, and its tax planning strategies. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient future taxable income within the carry-forward periods provided for in the tax law and during the periods in which the temporary differences become deductible. When assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, the Company has considered possible sources of taxable income including (i) future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, (ii) future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carry-forwards, (iii) future taxable income arising from implementing tax planning strategies, and (iv) specific known trend of profits expected to be reflected within the industry.

The Company recognizes a tax benefit associated with an uncertain tax position when, in its judgment, it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority. For a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the Company initially and subsequently measures the tax benefit as the largest amount that the Company judges to have a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority. The Company’s liability associated with unrecognized tax benefits is adjusted periodically due to changing circumstances, such as the progress of tax audits, case law developments and new or emerging legislation. Such adjustments are recognized entirely in the period in which they are identified. The Company’s effective tax rate includes the net impact of changes in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits and subsequent adjustments as considered appropriate by management. The Company classifies interest and penalties recognized on the liability for unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has reviewed all the recent accounting pronouncements issued to date of the issuance of these financial statements, and does not believe any of these pronouncements will have a material impact on the Company.

NOTE 3 – PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment, net consist of the following:

Depreciation expenses were recorded in general and administrative expenses. For the three month ended March 31, 2020, depreciation expense was nil compared to $652 for the same period ended March 31, 2019.

On January 22, 2020, the Company wrote off all furniture and fixtures and computer as a result of the change of control. These fixed assets were still in the use by the previous major shareholder after change of control and it was determined not worthwhile to collect and transfer these fixed assets from the hand of the previous major shareholder to the Company. The total book value of $4,623 of the furniture and fixtures and computer therefore was wrote off and recorded as a loss in the three months ended March 31, 2020.

NOTE 4 – EQUITY

The Company has 75,000,000 shares of common stock authorized with a par value of $0.001 per share. During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, there was no securities issued.

As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had 2,027,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, respectively.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, a related party loan of $26,524 was forgiven by the Company’s former sole officer and director. This debt forgiveness was treated as a capital transaction and hence was recorded into additional paid-in-capita See Note 5 below for details.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company received capital contribution of $15,200 from its new majority shareholder, Weining Zheng, for working capital uses. The capital contribution was recorded in additional paid-in-capital.

NOTE 5 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

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

Since its inception through December 31, 2019, the Company’s former sole officer and director, Marat Asylbekov, loaned the Company an aggregate of $26,524 to pay for incorporation costs and operating expenses. As of December 31, 2019, the amount outstanding was $26,524. The loan was non-interest bearing, due upon demand and unsecured. On January 22, 2020, the Company and Mr. Asylbekov entered into a debt forgiveness agreement pursuant to which Mr. Asylbekov forgave the loan with the principal amount of $26,524 that the Company owed to him. Therefore, the Company recorded the $26,524 forgiven loan as a capital transaction in the three months ended March 31, 2020.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company received capital contribution of $15,200 from its new majority shareholder, Weining Zheng, for working capital uses.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company’s former sole officer and director, Marat Asylbekov, provided office space to the Company. The Company did not pay any rent to Mr. Asylbekov. Following the change of control, Li Deng, the Company’s sole executive officer and director, provides office space to the Company free of charge. As a result, there was no rent expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

NOTE 6 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In accordance with ASC 855-10, the Company has analyzed its operations subsequent to March 31, 2020 has determined that it does not have any material subsequent events to disclose in these financial statements other than the one below:

The following discussion and analysis of our results of operations and financial condition should be read together with our unaudited condensed financial statements and the notes thereto, which are included elsewhere in this report and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the “Annual Report”) filed with SEC. Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, our financial statements and the financial information included in this report reflect our organizational transactions and have been prepared as if our current corporate structure had been in place throughout the relevant periods 

Exent Crop. (the “Company,” “we” or similar terminology) was incorporated in the state of Nevada on February 15, 2017. Our original business was manufacturing and selling steel drywall studs in the Kyrgyz market to wholesale customers. During the fiscal year of 2019, we sold machine for studs manufacturing as it was outdated. Production thereafter was temporarily on hold until new equipment was to be purchased.

On February 3, 2020, pursuant to a stock purchase agreement dated on January 21, 2020, an individual investor (Mr. Weining Zheng) purchased 1,500,000 shares of our common stock from our then majority shareholder, Marat Asylbekov, representing 74% of the voting securities of the Company (the “Change of Control”).

Following the Change of Control, we changed our business plan to engage in smart-home business in the People’s Republic of China.

We plan to conduct smart-home business in the People’s Republic of China, with a focus on developing, promoting and executing high quality integrated smart-home systems and solutions. We are presently evaluating the optimal corporate and legal structures in China necessary to establish our business or to acquire and/or invest in existing smart home businesses. We aim to start the smart-home business in 2020 and the funds to financing the start-up of the new business or acquisition of and/or investment in existing smart home businesses will primarily come from our major shareholder.

However, our plan to operate in the smart home industry may be adversely impacted by the novel coronavirus epidemic, which was first reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China, in December 2019, and is now continuing to spread throughout China and other parts of the world. Although China has made great efforts to contain the spread of the virus and has appeared to bring the outbreak under control, the economy, financial market and businesses in China have suffered from the pandemic. As a result of the epidemic and its socioeconomic impact in China, we may change our plan to do business in other industries in China should we determine that it is no longer in the best interest of our stockholders and the Company to proceed with our original plan.

Results of Operations

There was no revenue generated for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019. 

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we incurred operating expenses of $13,757 compared to $6,649 incurred during the same period of 2019. The increase in 2020 was due to the increase in professional fees after the Change of Control.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we had other expense of $4,623 relating to the write-off of the Company’s property & equipment.

As a result of the foregoing, our net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $18,380 as compared to a net loss of $6,649 for the same period of 2019.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2020, our total assets were $7,200 compared to $7,380 in total assets at December 31, 2019. As of March 31, 2020, our total liabilities were $3,000 compared to $26,524 at December 31, 2019. Stockholders’ equity was $4,200 as of March 31, 2020 compared to the shareholders’ deficit of $19,144 as of December 31, 2019.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

We have not generated positive cash flows from operating activities. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, net cash flows used in operating activities was $15,210. Net cash flows used in operating activities was $8,195 for the same period of 2019.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

There were no investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

We have financed our operations primarily from either advances from stockholders or financing through the sales of securities. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, we received capital contributions of $15,200 from our major shareholder for working capital uses. For the same period of 2019, we received loan proceeds of $5,394 from our then sole officer and director.

Plan of Operation and Funding

Our future capital requirements will depend on numerous factors including, but not limited to, the establishment and development of our new smart-home business opportunities in China. We expect to depend on financing from our majority shareholder to meet our current minimal operating expenses. As we are a start-up company, our operating expenses are limited and discretional based on the availability of its funds. Management believes that the financing from our majority shareholder will support our planned operations over the next 12 months.

We do not have lines of credit or other bank financing arrangements. In connection with our new business plan after the Change of Control, management anticipates operating expenses and capital expenditures relating to: (i) developmental expenses associated with a start-up business and (ii) marketing expenses will be funded primarily by debt or equity financings from our majority shareholder. However, there is no assurance that such funds will be available or available on acceptable terms. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to take advantage of prospective new business endeavors or opportunities, which could significantly and materially restrict our business operations.

Material Commitments

Since February 15, 2017 (inception) through December 31, 2019, our former sole officer and director loaned us $26,524 to pay for incorporation costs and operating expenses. As of December 31, 2019, the amount outstanding was $26,524. The loan was non-interest bearing, due upon demand and unsecured. In connection with the Change of Control in January 2020, the loan in the aggregate principal of $26,524 was forgiven by the former officer and director in full.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of the date of this report, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

Not applicable.

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our Certifying Officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Under the supervision of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer (the “Certifying Officer”), we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on the foregoing, our Certifying Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2020 due to the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, which are indicative of many small companies with small staff: (i) lack of proper segregation of duties and risk assessment process; (ii) lack of formal documentation in internal controls over financial reporting; (iii) lack of multi-level review and oversight in internal control structure and (iv) lack of independent directors and an audit committee. We will devote resources to remediate these material weaknesses as we grow and such resources required for implementing proper internal controls for financial reporting are available.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have not been any changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during our fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2020 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. 

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
