FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS
This
Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements.
These statements involve risks and uncertainties, including, among
other things, statements regarding our business strategy, future
revenues and anticipated costs and expenses. Such forward-looking
statements include, among others, those statements including the
words “expects,” “anticipates,”
“intends,” “believes,” “may,”
“will,” “should,” “could,”
“plans,” “estimates,” and similar language
or negative of such terms. Our actual results may differ
significantly from those projected in the forward-looking
statements. Factors that might cause or contribute to such
differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in
Item 7 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” You are
cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking
statements, which speak only as of the date of this report.
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the
forward-looking statements are reasonable, we do not know whether
we can achieve positive future results, levels of activity,
performance, or goals. Actual events or results may differ
materially. We undertake no obligation to publicly release any
revisions to the forward-looking statements or reflect events or
circumstances taking place after the date of this
document.

ITEM

BUSINESS
Description of Business
Green
Planet Bioengineering Co., Ltd. (“Green Planet” or
“Company”) now operates as a public reorganized shell
corporation with the purpose to acquire or merge with an existing
business operation.
Our History
Mondo
Acquisition II, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Delaware on
October 30, 2006 and changed the name to Green Planet
Bioengineering Co., Ltd. on October 2, 2008. In October 2008, the
Company acquired Elevated Throne Overseas Ltd, a company
incorporated in British Virgin Islands, and its subsidiaries
(“Elevated Throne”) which operated the business in the
agritech sector in the People’s Republic of China. The
Company divested Elevated Throne to One Bio, Corp.
(“ONE”) on April 14, 2010.
In
March 2012, the Company became a wholly owned subsidiary of Global
Funds Holdings Corp. (“Global Funds”) an Ontario,
Canada corporation.
The
Company operates as a public organized shell corporation with the
purpose to acquire or merge with an existing business operation.
The Company’s activities are subject to significant risks and
uncertainties, as their ability to implement and execute future
business plans and generate sufficient business revenue is directly
influenced by their ability to secure adequate financing or find
profitable business opportunities.
ITEM
1A.
RISK
FACTORS
You
should consider carefully each of the following business and
investment risk factors and all of the other information in this
report. If any of the following risks and uncertainties develops
into actual events, the business, financial condition or results of
our operations could be materially and adversely affected. If that
happens, the trading price of our shares of common stock could
decline significantly. The risk factors below contain
forward-looking statements regarding our business. Actual results
could differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking
statements. See "Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking
Information."
Risk Related to the Company's Future Business
We give no assurances that any plans for future business will be
implemented if we do not secure adequate financing or find
profitable business opportunities.
Our
ability to implement and execute our future business plans and
ultimately generate enough business revenue is directly influenced
by our ability to secure adequate financing or find profitable
business opportunities. If we do not receive funding from future
investors or find profitable business opportunities, we will
experience delays in our business plans and, ultimately, in our
profitability going forward.
We will continue to incur significant costs as a result of
remaining as a public reorganized company, and management will be
required to devote substantial time to new compliance
requirements.
As a
public company, we incur significant legal, accounting and other
expenses under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, together with rules
implemented by the Securities and Exchange Commission and
applicable market regulators. These rules impose various
requirements on public companies, including requiring certain
corporate governance practices. Management and other personnel will
need to devote a substantial amount of time to these new compliance
requirements. Moreover, these rules and regulations will increase
our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some
activities more time consuming and costlier.
In
addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that
we maintain effective internal controls for financial reporting and
disclosure controls and procedures. In particular, we must perform
system and process evaluations and testing of our internal controls
over financial reporting to allow management and our registered
independent public accounting firm to report on the effectiveness
of our internal controls over financial reporting, as required by
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Our testing, or the
subsequent testing by our registered independent public accounting
firm, may reveal deficiencies in our internal controls over
financial reporting that are deemed to be material weaknesses.
Compliance with Section 404 may require that we incur substantial
accounting expenses and expend significant management efforts. If
we are not able to comply with the requirements of Section 404 in a
timely manner, or if our registered independent accountants later
identify deficiencies in our internal controls over financial
reporting that are deemed to be material weaknesses, the market
price of our stock could decline and we could be subject to
sanctions or investigations by the SEC or other applicable
regulatory authorities.
Risks Related to the Common Stock
There is currently no trading market for our common
stock.
Outstanding
shares of our common stock cannot be offered, sold, pledged or
otherwise transferred unless subsequently registered pursuant to,
or exempt from registration under, the Securities Act and any other
applicable federal or state securities laws or regulations. These
restrictions will limit the ability of our stockholders to
liquidate their investment.
2
We have not paid and do not anticipate paying any dividends on our
common stock; therefore, our securities could face devaluation in
the market.
We have
paid no dividends on our common stock to date and it is not
anticipated that any dividends will be paid to holders of our
common stock in the foreseeable future. While our dividend policy
will be based on the operating results and capital needs of the
business, it is anticipated that any earnings will be retained to
finance our future expansion and for the implementation of our new
business plan. Lack of a dividend can further affect the market
value of our common stock, and could significantly affect the value
of any investment in us.
Penny Stock Regulations
The SEC
has adopted regulations which generally define "penny stock" to be
an equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per
share. Our common stock, when and if a trading market develops, may
fall within the definition of penny stock and subject to rules that
impose additional sales practice requirements on
broker-dealers
For
transactions covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a
special suitability determination for the purchase of such
securities and have received the purchaser's prior written consent
to the transaction. Additionally, for any transaction, other than
exempt transactions, involving a penny stock, the rules require the
delivery, prior to the transaction, of a risk disclosure document
mandated by the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the
penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must disclose the
commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered
representative, current quotations for the securities and, if the
broker-dealer is the sole market-maker, the broker-dealer must
disclose this fact and the broker-dealer's presumed control over
the market. Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing
recent price information for the penny stock held in the account
and information on the limited market in penny stocks.
Consequently, the "penny stock" rules may restrict the ability of
broker-dealers to sell our common stock and may affect the ability
of investors to sell their common stock in the secondary
market.

MANAGEMENT’S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
Overview
The
Company operates as a public reorganized corporation with the
business purpose to acquire or merge with an existing business
operation.
On
March 12, 2012, the Company was divested by our former majority
stockholder, One Bio, Corp (“ONE”) and in accordance
with the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement between ONE and
Global Funds, all the debts of the Company as of the closing date
were assumed by ONE. Accordingly, the Company recorded $178,589 as
a capital contribution resulting from the extinguishment of related
party payable.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The
Company had no active business operation during the year.
Accordingly, all the Company’s cash flow needs for 2017 were
provided solely by a related company of Global Funds to pay
expenses necessary as a public company.
Going
forward, the Company will continue to source adequate funding from
future investors to execute business opportunities when they arise
in the future. However, such funding and business opportunities
will rely entirely on the prevailing circumstances when the funding
or profitable business opportunities are identified. If such
opportunities are not identified in the near term, the Company will
experience delay in effecting its business plans.
Critical Accounting Policies
We
prepare our financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted (“GAAP”) in the United
States of America. As such, we are required to make certain
estimates, judgments and assumptions that we believe are reasonable
based upon historical experience, current trends and other factors.
As such, actual results could differ from our estimates and such
differences could be material. We have identified below the
critical accounting policies which are assumptions made by
management about matters that are uncertain and are of critical
importance in the presentation of our financial position, results
of operations and cash flows. On a regular basis, we review our
accounting policies and how they are applied and disclosed in the
financial statements.
4
Significant Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP in the
United States of America requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities, as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
There
are no 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 is material to investors.

REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the
Board of Directors and
Stockholders
of Green Planet Bioengineering Co., Ltd.
We have
audited the accompanying balance sheets of Green Planet
Bioengineering Co., Ltd. as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the
related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’
deficit, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year
period ended December 31, 2017, and the related notes (collectively
referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the
financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2017 and 2016,
and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of
the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2017 and 2016,
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America.
Going Concern Uncertainty
These
financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company
will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the
financial statements, the Company has operating and liquidity
concerns. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the
possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of
assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may
result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
Basis for Opinion
These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the
Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a
public accounting firm registered with the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required
to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with
the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the
PCAOB.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to
perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.
As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding
of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the
purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our
audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of
material misstatement of the 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 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 financial
statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
We have
served as the Company’s auditor since 2012.

Green
Planet Bioengineering Co., Ltd.
Notes
to the Financial Statements
1. General Information
Mondo
Acquisition II, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Delaware on
October 30, 2006 and the name was changed to Green Planet
Bioengineering Co., Ltd. (“Company”) on October 2,
2008. In October 2008, the Company acquired Elevated Throne
Overseas Ltd, incorporated in British Virgin Islands, and its
subsidiaries (“Elevated Throne”) and operated the
business in the agritech sector in the People’s Republic of
China. The Company divested Elevated Throne to One Bio, Corp.
(“ONE”) on April 14, 2010.
In
March 2012, the Company became a wholly owned subsidiary of Global
Funds Holdings Corp. (“Global Funds”) an Ontario,
Canada corporation.
The Company operates
as a public reorganized shell corporation with the purpose to
acquire or merge with an existing business
operation. The Company's activities are
subject to significant risks and uncertainties, as
their ability to implement and execute future business
plans and generate sufficient business revenue is directly
influenced by their ability to secure adequate financing or find
profitable business opportunities.
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 (“US GAAP”).
Use of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure
of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and
expenses for the years reported. Actual results could differ from
those estimates. Significant items that require estimates were
accruals of liabilities.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash
and cash equivalents include all cash, deposits in banks and other
highly liquid investments with initial maturities of three months
or less to be cash equivalents. Balances of cash and cash
equivalents in financial institutions may at times exceed the
government-insured limits.
Income Taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC Topic
740 “Income
Taxes” under which deferred tax assets and liabilities
are determined based on temporary differences between accounting
and tax bases of assets and liabilities and net operating loss and
credit carry forwards, using enacted tax rates in effect for the
year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation
allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax
assets to the amounts expected to be realized. A provision for
income tax expense is recognized for income taxes payable for the
current period, plus the net changes in deferred tax amounts. Any
interest and penalties are expensed in the year that the Notice of
Assessment is received. The Company’s practice is to
recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters
as interest expense.
Earnings Per Share
Earnings
per share is reported in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 260
“Earnings per
Share” which requires dual presentation of basic
earnings per share (“EPS”) and diluted EPS on the face
of all statements of earnings, for all entities with complex
capital structures. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution
that could occur from common shares issuable through the exercise
or conversion of stock options, restricted stock awards, warrants
and convertible securities. In certain circumstances, the
conversion of these options, warrants and convertible securities
are excluded from diluted EPS if the effect of such inclusion would
be anti-dilutive. Fully diluted EPS is not provided, when the
effect is anti-dilutive. When the effect of dilution on loss per
share is anti-dilutive, diluted loss per share equals the loss per
share.

Fair Value Measurements
FASB
ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value
Measurements and Disclosures” defines fair value,
establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with
U.S. GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
Investments measured and reported at fair value are classified and
disclosed in one of the following hierarchy:
Level 1
-
Quoted prices are
available in active markets for identical investments as of the
period reporting date.
Level 2
-
Pricing inputs are
other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either
directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date, and
fair value is determined through the use of models or other
valuation methodologies.
Level 3
-
Pricing inputs are
unobservable for the investment and included situations where there
is little, if any, market activity for the investment. The inputs
into the determination of fair value require significant management
judgment or estimation.
Recent Changes in Accounting Standards
In
August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15 "Presentation of
Financial Statements-Going Concern." The provisions of ASU No.
2014-15 require management to assess an entity’s liability to
continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon
certain principles that are currently in U.S. audit standards.
Specifically, the amendments (1) provide a definition of the term
substantial doubt, (2) require evaluation of every reporting period
including interim periods, (3) provide principles for considering
the mitigating effect of management’s plans, (4) require
certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a
result of consideration of management’s plans, (5) require an
express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt in
not alleviated, and (6) require an assessment for a period of one
year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or
available to be issued). The amendments in this ASU are effective
for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for
annual periods and interim periods thereafter. The Company believes
that the adoption of ASU No. 2014-15 has not had a material impact
on the Company’s financial statements.
In May
2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Accounting Standard Update
2017-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic
718), Scope of Modification Accounting”. The provisions
provide guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of
share-based payment awards require an entity to apply modification
accounting in Topic 718. The amendments in this update are
effective for all entities for annual periods and interim periods
within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. The
Company believes that the adoption of ASU 2017-09 will not have a
material impact on the Company’s financial
statements.
A
variety of proposed or otherwise potential accounting standards are
currently under study by standard-setting organizations and various
regulatory agencies. Because of the tentative and preliminary
nature of those proposed standards, management has not determined
whether implementation of such proposed standards would be material
to the Company’s financial statements.
3. Going Concern
The
financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company
will continue as a going concern. The Company is currently a public
reorganized shell corporation and has no current business activity.
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is
dependent on continued support from Global Funds, the majority
stockholder.
4. Amount Due to a Related Company
The
Company relies on a related company to advance funds to fund its
operating expenses. The amounts advanced are interest-free,
unsecured and are repayable upon demand.
In
addition, the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and
Director of the Company is also a director of the related
party.
12
5. Preferred Stock
Series A preferred stock
The Company is authorized under its Articles of Incorporation to
issue 10,000,000 shares of Series A preferred stock with a par
value of $0.001 per share. Each share of the Company’s
preferred stock provides the holder with the right to vote 1,000
votes on all matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders of the
Company and is convertible into 1,000 shares of the Company’s
common stock. The preferred stock is non-participating and carries
no dividend. The Company does not have any issued shares of the
preferred stock as of December 31, 2017 and 2016.
6. Stock-based compensation
There
was no non-cash stock-based compensation recognized for the years
ended
December 31, 2017 and 2016.
7. Income Tax
As of
December 31, 2017, the Company had net operating loss carry
forwards of $287,939 that may be available to reduce future
years’ taxable income through 2036 if not limited. Future tax
benefits which may arise as a result of these losses have not been
recognized in these financial statements, as their realization is
determined not likely to occur and accordingly, the Company has
recorded a valuation allowance for the deferred tax asset relating
to these tax loss carry-forwards.
The
provision for Federal income tax consists of the following for the
years ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016:

The valuation allowance increased by $11,508 from December 31, 2016
to December 31, 2017.
Due to the change in ownership in March 2012, the net operating
loss carry forwards as of December 31, 2011 of $213,844 may be
subject to limitations in accordance with Sec 382 of the provisions
of the Tax Reform Act of 1986 for Federal income tax
purposes.

CONTROLS
AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Control and Procedures
Disclosure
controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are
designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in
company reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, or 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
company reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is
accumulated and communicated to management, including our chief
executive officer as appropriate to allow timely decisions
regarding disclosure.
The
Company’s management, with the participation of the
Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s
disclosure controls and procedures as of the financial year end.
Based upon their evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the
Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective
and did not note any material weakness.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial
Reporting
Management
is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate
“internal control over financial reporting” as defined
in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Internal
control over financial reporting refers to the process designed by,
or under the supervision of, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, effected by our Board of Directors, management
and other personnel, 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, and includes those policies and
procedures that:
i.
pertain to the
maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and
fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our
assets;
ii.
provide reasonable
assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures
are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our
management and directors; and
iii.
provide reasonable
assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized
acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a
material effect on our financial statements.
As of
December 31, 2017 and as reported in the Registrant’s Form
10-K filing, management used the framework set forth in the report
entitled “Internal Control – Integrated
Framework” published by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission to evaluate the
effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.
Based on its evaluation, management concluded that at December 31,
2017 there were no material weakness and concluded that the
internal control over financial reporting was effective. A material
weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of control 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.
During
the year, there has been no change in our internal control over
financial reporting that has materially affected or is reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.
