Overview
We were incorporated on July 19, 2013 in the state of Nevada under the name Greenpro, Inc. On May 6, 2015, we changed our name to Greenpro Capital Corp. Our principal executive office is located at Suite 2201, 22/F, Malaysia Building, 50 Gloucester Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong. Our principal telephone number is + (852) 3111 -7718. Our website is at: http://www.greenprocapital.com and information contained on our web site is not part of this Annual Report on Form 10-K or our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
We currently operate and provide a wide range of business solution services varying from cloud system solution, financial consulting services and corporate accounting services to small and medium-size businesses located in Asia, with an initial focus on Hong Kong, China and Malaysia. Our comprehensive range of services cover cloud accounting solutions, cross-border business solutions, record management services, and accounting outsourcing services. Our cross border business services include, among other services, tax planning, trust and wealth management, cross border listing advisory services and transaction services. We hope to develop a package solution of services (“Package Solution”) that will build a cloud solution into traditional accounting services. By using a Package Solution, we believe that we can assist our clients to reduce their business costs and improve their revenues.
In addition to our business solution services, we also operate a venture capital business through Greenpro Venture Capital Limited, an Anguilla corporation. Our venture capital business is focused on establishing a business incubator for start-up and high growth companies to support them during their critical growth periods and investing in select start-up and high growth companies. We expect to target companies located in Asia and Southeast Asia including Hong Kong, Malaysia, China, Thailand, and Singapore. We also anticipate our venture capital business to also engage in the purchase, acquisition and rental of commercial properties in the same Asia and Southeast Asia region.
To support our venture capital business, we partnered with QSC Asia Sdn. Bhd., an education and training company that arranges seminars and courses in Malaysia, to provide business and educational and support services. Specifically, we hope to arrange one or more seminars called the CEO & Business Owners Strategic Session (CBOSS) for business owners who are interested in the following:
● | Developing the business globally | |
● | Expanding business with increase capital funds | |
● | Creating a sustainable SME business model | |
● | Accelerating the growth of the business | |
● | Increasing company cash flow significantly |
The objective of the CBOSS seminar will be to educate the Chief Executive Officer or business owner on how to acquire “smart capital” and the considerations involved. We expect the seminar to include an introduction to the basic concepts of “smart capital,” “wealth and value creation,” recommendation and planning and similar topics. We believe that the seminar will synergistically support our venture capital business segment.
We expect to operate our venture capital related education and support services through our subsidiary Greenpro Global Advisory Sdn. Bhd., which was renamed Greenpro Capital Village Sdn. Bhd. on September 23, 2015. On October 1, 2015, QSC Asia Sdn. Bhd., an unaffiliated third party, acquired 49% of Greenpro Capital Village Sdn. Bhd. in consideration of $11,000 (RM 49,000) from Greenpro Financial Consulting Limited. Concurrently with such sale, Greenpro Financial Consulting Limited transferred 51% of Greenpro Capital Village Sdn. Bhd. to Greenpro Holding Limited, our subsidiary.

● | Transaction services |
10 |
With growing competition and increasing economic sophistication, we believe more companies need strategies for cross-border restructuring and other corporate matters. Our plan is to bundle our Cross Border Business Solution services with our Cloud Accounting Solution.
Record Management Services
We believe that it is important to establish a records management solution across the enterprises that offers our clients a convenient and cost effective way to store, categorize and access business records. We offer our clients a cloud record management system to store our future clients’ business information and supplement our cloud product with general bookkeeping services. We intend to use third party accounting software that has been developed in accordance with the accounting principles in Hong Kong and is compliant with tax legislation to deal with day-to-day accounts to ensure that all bookkeeping records are clear and accurate. In addition, we plan to provide a general ledger to a client as well as spreadsheet, income statements, cash flow statements, and balance sheets. We anticipate that by using our record management solutions, our clients will be able to share and make decision quickly and effectively without wasting valuable resources and becoming more competitive.
Accounting Outsourcing Services
We hope to develop a network of relationships with professional firms from Hong Kong, Malaysia and China that can provide company secretarial, business centers and virtual offices, book-keeping, tax compliance and planning, payroll management, business valuation, and or wealth management services to our prospective clients. We also hope to include accounting firms within this network so that they can provide general accounting, financial evaluation and advisory services to our prospective clients that are local to such professional firm. We hope that firms within our professional network will refer to us their international clients that may need our book-keeping, payroll, company secretarial and tax compliance services. We believe that this accounting outsourcing service arrangement will be beneficial to our prospective clients by providing a convenient, one-stop firm for their local and international business and financial compliance and governance needs.
We also plan to engage with strategic partners to assist us in accounting outsourcing services, including Netiquette Software, Xero, and Feng Office.
Cloud Accounting Solution
We intend to develop a cloud accounting system, which can assist small business clients to manage their books and financial records. The cloud accounting system we intend to develop is a device related to book-keeping and accounting through an Internet based platform. It is a program for organizational finance, which we anticipate will allow users to perform accounting-related functions such as making records of money received by a company, billing a company’s clients, managing the inventory, and recording the financial transactions through the cloud platform.
Besides recording a company’s financial data, the cloud accounting system we expect to develop will be able to assist clients to create the financial statements such as the balance sheets, the income statements and statements of cash flow. It is our belief that the cloud based system will enable the potential clients to keep track of their income and expense, create invoices, manage banking accounts, and prepare monthly accounts for management’s review. The designed functions of this system will include reminding the future clients to properly record assets or revenues for its business therefore assisting them to more effectively and economically prepare financial statements and monitor the financial performance of their businesses. We expect that the potential clients could scale at the speed of their businesses, and expand their businesses into larger markets with the assistance of cloud accounting system.
We hope to begin development of our cloud accounting system by the 3 rd quarter of 2016. We may also seek potential partners to jointly develop the cloud accounting system to develop the business.
Our Service Rates
There are two types of fees we expect to charge based on the services described above. One is project-based fees, where we will charge 10% -25% of the revenues of the projects that are completed by assistance of our services. Such projects include the transaction projects, the contract compliance projects, and the business planning projects. Another type of fee is a flat rate fee or fixed fee where our professionals provides expertise to our clients and charge the fees based on the estimation of complexity and timing of the project. For example, for the cross-border business solution, we plan to charge our client a monthly fixed fee.

Our Venture Capital Business Segment
Venture Capital Investment
As a result of our acquisition of Greenpro Venture Capital Limited in September 30, 2015, we entered the venture capital business in Hong Kong with a focus on companies located in Asia and Southeast Asia including Hong Kong, Malaysia, China, Thailand, and Singapore. Our venture capital business segment will focus on establishing a business incubator for start-up and high growth companies to support them during their critical growth periods and investing in select start-up and high growth companies.
We believe that a company’s life cycle can be divided as seed stage, start up stage, expansion stage, mature stage and decline stage.
● | Seed stage: Financing is needed for research, assets and the development of an initial business concept before the business has reached the start-up phase. The company usually has relatively low costs in developing the business idea. The ownership model is considered and implemented. | |
● | Start-up stage: Financing is needed for product development and initial marketing. Firms in this phase may be in the process of setting up a business or they might have been in the business for short time, but not sold their products commercially. In this phase, cost are increasing affectedly because of e.g. product development, market research and the need of recruiting personnel. Low levels of revenues are starting to generate. | |
● | Expansion stage: Financing is needed for the growth and expansion. Capital may be used to finance increased production capacity, product or market development or hire additional personnel. In the early expansion phase, sales and production increase but there is not yet any profit. In the later expansion stage, the business typically needs extra capital in addition to organically generated profit, for further development, marketing or product development. |
We expect that most of a company’s funding needs will occur during the first three stages.
We expect our business incubators to provide valuable support to young, emerging growth and potential high growth companies at critical junctures of their development. For example, our incubators will offer office space at a below market rental rate. We will also provide our expertise, business contacts, introductions and other resources to assist their development and growth. Depending on each individual circumstance, we may also take an active advisory role of our portfolio companies including board representation, strategic marketing, corporate governance, and capital structuring. We believe that the future growth of those prospects start-up companies will be our potential investment opportunities
In addition to our business incubator, we have also invested cash and cash equivalents in companies that we believe have high growth potential in exchange for an equity position in such companies. As of the date of this annual report, we have made investments into following companies:
Name | Shareholding | Business | ||||
Rito Group Corp. (Nevada, USA) | 29.5 | % | Providing an online platform for merchants and customers to facilitate transactions | |||
Forward Win International Limited (Hong Kong) | 60 | % | Holding Hong Kong real estate for investment purpose | |||
DSwiss, Inc. (Nevada, USA) | 29.5 | % | Retailing in slimming and beauty products | |||
Chief Billion Limited (Hong Kong) | 100 | % | Holding Hong Kong real estate for investment purpose | |||
Greenpro Venture Cap (CGN) Limited (Anguilla) | 100 | % | Holding company which holds 20% shareholding of CGN Nanotech Inc. | |||
CGN Nanotech Inc. (Nevada, USA) | 20% (indirect) | Trading and distributing of Nano-ceramic lighting products. | ||||
Lepora Holdings Corporation (Nevada, USA) | 30 | % | Offering innovative home products for improving air, water, home and health. | |||
NPQ Holdings Limited (Nevada, USA) | 19.28 | % | Providing mobile Apps, restaurant management system and cloud ERP. |
At this time, we do not expect to acquire more than 30% of any single company.
12 |
Our business processes for our investing side of the venture capital business segment are as follows:
● | Step 1. Generating Deal Flow: We expect to actively search for entrepreneurial firms and to generate deal flow through our business incubator and the personal contacts of our executive team. We also anticipate that entrepreneurs will approach us for financing. | |
● | Step 2. Investment Decision: We will evaluate, examine and engage in due diligence of a prospective portfolio company, including but not limited to product/services viability, market potential and integrity as well as capability of the management. After that both parties arrive at an agreed value for the deal. Following that is a process of negotiation, which if successful, ends with capital transformation and restructuring. | |
● | Step 3. Business Development and Value Adding: In addition to capital contribution, we expect to provide expertise, knowledge and relevant business contacts to the company. | |
● | Step 4. Exit: There are several ways to exit an investment in a company. Common exits are: |
● IPO (Initial Public Offering): The venture’s shares are offered in a public sale on an established securities market.
● Trade sale (Acquisition): The entire venture is sold to another company.
● Secondary sale: The venture capital firm’s sell their part of the venture’s shares only.
● Buyback or MBO: Either the entrepreneur or the management of the firm buys back the venture capital company’s shares of the firm.
● Reconstruction, liquidation or bankruptcy: If the project fails the venture capital firms will restructure or close down the venture.
Our objective for equity investors is to achieve a superior rate of return through the eventual and timely disposal of investments. We expect to look for businesses that meet the following criteria:
● | high growth prospects | |
● | ambitious teams | |
● | viability of product or service | |
● | experienced management | |
● | ability to convert plans into reality | |
● | justification of venture capital investment and investment criteria |
Our Venture Capital Related Education and Support Services.
In addition to providing venture capital services through GPVC, we also hope to provide educational and support services that we believe will be synergistic with our venture capital business. Specifically, we hope to arrange one or more seminars called the CEO & Business Owners Strategic Session (CBOSS) for business owners who are interested in the following:
● | Developing the business globally | |
● | Expanding business with increase capital funds | |
● | Creating a sustainable SME business model | |
● | Accelerating the growth of the business | |
● | Increasing company cash flow significantly |
The objective the CBOSS seminar is to educate the Chief Executive Officer or business owner on how to acquire “smart capital” and the considerations involved. We expect the seminar to include an introduction to the basic concepts of “smart capital,” “wealth and value creation,” recommendation and planning and similar topics. We believe that this seminar will synergistically support our venture capital business segment.
We intend to provide these educational services through our subsidiary Greenpro Global Advisory Sdn. Bhd., which was renamed Greenpro Capital Village Sdn. Bhd. on September 23, 2015.
On October 1, 2015, QSC Asia Sdn. Bhd., an unaffiliated third party, acquired 49% of Greenpro Capital Village Sdn. Bhd. in consideration of $11,000 (RM 49,000) from Greenpro Financial Consulting Limited. Concurrently with such sale, Greenpro Financial Consulting Limited transferred 51% of Greenpro Capital Village Sdn. Bhd. to Greenpro Holding Limited, our subsidiary.

Sales and Marketing
We plan to deploy three strategies to accomplish our goal in marketing the brand of Greenpro: leadership, market segmentation, and sales management process development.
● | Building Brand Image: Greenpro’s marketing efforts will focus on building the image of our extensive knowledge and expertise of our professionals and expertise. We intend to conduct the market campaign through media visibility, seminars, webinars, and the creation of a wide variety of white papers, newsletters, books, and other information offerings to build the image of our professional services. | |
● | Market segmentation: We plan to devote our marketing resources to the highly measurable and high return on investment tactics that specifically target those industries and areas where Greenpro has particularly deep experience and capabilities. These efforts typically involve local, regional or national trade show and event sponsorships, targeted direct mail, email, and telemarketing campaigns, and practice and industry specific micro-sites, newsletters, etc. in the Asia region. | |
● | Social Media: We plan to begin a social media campaign utilizing blogs, twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn after we secure sufficient financing. A targeted campaign will be made to the following groups of clients: law firms, auditing firms, consulting firms, small to mid-size enterprises in different industries, including biotechnologies, intellectual property, information technologies and real estate. |
Market Opportunities
It is our intention to assist our potential clients in preparing their financial statements at a lower cost and to provide security based on such financial information since the data is stored on the cloud system. We anticipate a market with growing needs in South East Asia. We believe that today there is an increasing need for enterprises in different industries to maximize their performance with cost effective methods. We believe our services will create numerous competitive advantages for our potential clients. With support from Greenpro, we believe our future clients can focus on developing their businesses and expanding their own client portfolio.
We believe the main drivers for the growth of our business are the products and services together with the resources such as office network, professional staff members, and operation tools to make the advisory and consulting business more competitive.
Customers
Prior to the consummation of the previously described acquisitions, we generated minimal revenue from three clients in Hong Kong in the ordinary course of business. The revenue generated related to our assistance on the clients’ company formation and secretary services. After the consummation of such acquisitions, we expect to generate revenues from clients located globally including those from Hong Kong, China, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, Australia, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Russia, USA, Malta, and France.
We currently provide professional business services to small to mid-size companies from various countries and in various industries. We also plan to serve as support to professional service providers such as auditing firms and law firms. We also provide various professional services to our clients and enable them to focus their resources on their own operational competencies. Depending on a client’s size and capabilities, it has the option to choose to utilize one, some or many of the diverse and integrated services to be offered by Greenpro. Our services will seek to cover the traditional accounting services bundled with cloud accounting solution together with business consulting and advisory. We intend to focus on developing our client base in Hong Kong, China and Malaysia.
Our venture capital business segment will initially focus on Hong Kong and Southeast Asia start-ups and high growth companies. We hope to generate deal flow through personal contacts of our management team as well as through our business incubator.
We generated net revenues of $2,946,164 during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015. Our venture capital business accounted for approximately 55.6% of our net revenue. We are not a party to any long-term agreements with our customers.
14 |
Competition
Our industry is highly competitive. We compete with local and international venture capital, financial advisory and corporate business service companies such as Cornerstone Management Group in Hong Kong, CST Tax Advisor in Singapore and Maceda Valencia & Co in Philippines that provide services comparable to our Packaged Solution. We also compete with numerous local and international financial advisory and corporate business service companies that do not offer our broad range of services but focus on specialized areas such as tax planning, cross-border solutions, and the like. Some of our competitors may provide a broader selection of services, including investment banking services, which may position them better among customers who prefer to use a single company to meet all of their financial and business advisory needs. In addition, some of our competitors are substantially larger than we are, may have substantially greater resources than we do or may offer a broader range of products and services than we do. We believe that we compete on the basis of a number of factors, including breadth of service and product offerings, one stop convenience, pricing, marketing expertise, service levels, technological capabilities and integration, brand and reputation.
Intellectual Property
We intend to protect our investment in the research and development of our products and technologies. We intend to seek the widest possible protection for significant product and process developments in our major markets through a combination of trade secrets, trademarks, copyrights and patents, if applicable. We anticipate that the form of protection will vary depending upon the level of protection afforded by the particular jurisdiction. Currently, our revenue is derived principally from our operations in Hong Kong and Malaysia, where intellectual property protection may be limited and difficult to enforce. In such instances, we may seek protection of our intellectual property through measures taken to increase the confidentiality of our findings.
We intend to register trademarks as a means of protecting the brand names of our companies and products. We intend protect our trademarks against infringement and also seek to register design protection where appropriate.
We rely on trade secrets and unpatentable know-how that we seek to protect, in part, by confidentiality agreements. Our policy is to require some of our employees to execute confidentiality agreements upon the commencement of employment with us. These agreements provide that all confidential information developed or made known to the individual during the course of the individual’s relationship with us is to be kept confidential and not disclosed to third parties except in specific limited circumstances. The agreements also provide that all inventions conceived by the individual while rendering services to us shall be assigned to us as the exclusive property of our company. There can be no assurance, however, that all persons who we desire to sign such agreements will sign, or if they do, that these agreements will not be breached, that we would have adequate remedies for any breach, or that our trade secrets or unpatentable know-how will not otherwise become known or be independently developed by competitors.
Government Regulation
We intend to provide our Package Solution initially in Hong Kong, China and Malaysia, which we believe would welcome outsourcing support services. Further, we believe these markets are the central and regional markets for many customers doing cross border businesses in Asia. We plan to target those customers from South East Asia doing international business and plan to provide our Package Solution to meet their needs. Our planned Packaged Solution will be structured in Hong Kong but services may be outsourced to lower cost jurisdictions such as Malaysia, which encourage and welcome outsourcing services.
The following regulations are the applicable laws and regulations that may be applicable to us:
Hong Kong
Our businesses located in Hong Kong are subject to the general laws in Hong Kong governing businesses including labor, occupational safety and health, general corporations, intellectual property and other similar laws. Because our website is maintained through the server in Hong Kong, we expect that we will be required to comply with the rules of regulations of Hong Kong governing the data usage and regular terms of service applicable to our potential customers. As the information of our potential customers is preserved in Hong Kong, we will need to comply with the Hong Kong Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (Cap 486).
The Employment Ordinance is the main piece of legislation governing conditions of employment in Hong Kong since 1968. It covers a comprehensive range of employment protection and benefits for employees, including Wage Protection, Rest Days, Holidays with Pay, Paid Annual Leave, Sickness Allowance, Maternity Protection, Statutory Paternity Leave, Severance Payment, Long Service Payment, Employment Protection, Termination of Employment Contract, Protection Against Anti-Union Discrimination.
15 |
An employer must also comply with all legal obligations under the Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Ordinance, (CAP485). These include enrolling all qualifying employees in MPF schemes and making MPF contributions for them. Except for exempt persons, employer should enroll both full-time and part-time employees who are at least 18 but under 65 years of age in an MPF scheme within the first 60 days of employment. The 60-day employment rule does not apply to casual employees in the construction and catering industries.
We are required to make MPF contributions for our Hong Kong employees once every contribution period (generally the wage period). Employers and employees are each required to make regular mandatory contributions of 5% of the employee’s relevant income to an MPF scheme, subject to the minimum and maximum relevant income levels. For a monthly-paid employee, the minimum and maximum relevant income levels are $7,100 and $30,000 respectively.
Malaysia
Our businesses located in Malaysia are subject to the general laws in Malaysia governing businesses including labor, occupational safety and health, general corporations, intellectual property and other similar laws including the Computer Crime Act 1997 and The Copyright (Amendment) Act 1997. We believe that the focus of these laws realize it is an issue of censorship in Malaysia. But we believe this issue will not impact our businesses because the censorship focus on media controls and does not relate to cloud based technology we plan to use.
Our real estate investments are subject to extensive local, city, county and state rules and regulations regarding permitting, zoning, subdivision, utilities and water quality as well as federal rules and regulations regarding air and water quality and protection of endangered species and their habitats. Such regulation may result in higher than anticipated administrative and operational costs.
China
A portion of our acquired businesses is located in China and subject to the general laws in China governing businesses including labor, occupational safety and health, general corporations, intellectual property and other similar laws.
Employment Contracts
The Employment Contract Law was promulgated by the National People’s Congress’ Standing Committee on June 29, 2007 and took effect on January 1, 2008. The Employment Contract Law governs labor relations and employment contracts (including the entry into, performance, amendment, termination and determination of employment contracts) between domestic enterprises (including foreign-invested companies), individual economic organizations and private non-enterprise units (collectively referred to as the “employers”) and their employees.
a. Execution of employment contracts
Under the Employment Contract Law, an employer is required to execute written employment contracts with its employees within one month from the commencement of employment. In the event of contravention, an employee is entitled to receive double salary for the period during which the employer fails to execute an employment contract. If an employer fails to execute an employment contract for more than 12 months from the commencement of the employee’s employment, an employment contract would be deemed to have been entered into between the employer and employee for a non-fixed term.
b. Right to non-fixed term contracts
Under the Employment Contract Law, an employee may request for a non-fixed term contract without an employer’s consent to renew. In addition, an employee is also entitled to a non-fixed term contract with an employer if he has completed two fixed term employment contracts with such employer; however, such employee must not have committed any breach or have been subject to any disciplinary actions during his employment. Unless the employee requests to enter into a fixed term contract, an employer who fails to enter into a non-fixed term contract pursuant to the Employment Contract Law is liable to pay the employee double salary from the date the employment contract is renewed.
c. Compensation for termination or expiry of employment contracts
Under the Employment Contract Law, employees are entitled to compensation upon the termination or expiry of an employment contract. Employees are entitled to compensation even in the event the employer (i) has been declared bankrupt; (ii) has its business license revoked; (iii) has been ordered to cease or withdraw its business; or (iv) has been voluntarily liquidated. Where an employee has been employed for more than one year, the employee will be entitled to such compensation equivalent to one month’s salary for every completed year of service. Where an employee has employed for less than one year, such employee will be deemed to have completed one full year of service.
16 |
d. Trade union and collective employment contracts
Under the Employment Contract Law, a trade union may seek arbitration and litigation to resolve any dispute arising from a collective employment contract; provided that such dispute failed to be settled through negotiations. The Employment Contract Law also permits a trade union to enter into a collective employee contract with an employer on behalf of all the employees.
Where a trade union has not been formed, a representative appointed under the recommendation of a high-level trade union may execute the collective employment contract. Within districts below county level, collective employment contracts for industries such as those engaged in construction, mining, food and beverage and those from the service sector, etc., may be executed on behalf of employees by the representatives from the trade union of each respective industry. Alternatively, a district-based collective employment contract may be entered into.
As a result of the Employment Contract Law, all of our employees have executed standard written employment agreements with us. We have not experienced any significant labor disputes or any difficulties in recruiting staff for our operations.
On October 28, 2010, the National People’s Congress of China promulgated the PRC Social Insurance Law, which became effective on July 1, 2011. In accordance with the PRC Social Insurance Law, the Interim Regulations on the Collection and Payment of Social Security Fund and other relevant laws and regulations, China establishes a social insurance system including basic pension insurance, basic medical insurance, work-related injury insurance, unemployment insurance and maternity insurance. An employer shall pay the social insurance for its employees in accordance with the rates provided under relevant regulations and shall withhold the social insurance that should be assumed by the employees. The authorities in charge of social insurance may request an employer’s compliance and impose sanctions if such employer fails to pay and withhold social insurance in a timely manner. Under the Regulations on the Administration of Housing Fund effective in 1999, as amended in 2002, PRC companies must register with applicable housing fund management centers and establish a special housing fund account in an entrusted bank. Both PRC companies and their employees are required to contribute to the housing funds.
The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security promulgated the Interim Provisions on Labor Dispatch on January 24, 2014. The Interim Provisions on Labor Dispatch, which became effective on March 1, 2014, sets forth that labor dispatch should only be applicable to temporary, auxiliary or substitute positions. Temporary positions shall mean positions subsisting for no more than six months, auxiliary positions shall mean positions of non-major business that serve positions of major businesses, and substitute positions shall mean positions that can be held by substitute employees for a certain period of time during which the employees who originally hold such positions are unable to work as a result of full-time study, being on leave or other reasons. The Interim Provisions further provides that, the number of the dispatched workers of an employer shall not exceed 10% of its total workforce, and the total workforce of an employer shall refer to the sum of the number of the workers who have executed labor contracts with the employer and the number of workers who are dispatched to the employer.
Foreign Exchange Control and Administration
Foreign exchange in China is primarily regulated by:
● | The Foreign Currency Administration Rules (1996), as amended; and | |
● | The Administration Rules of the Settlement, Sale and Payment of Foreign Exchange (1996), or the Administration Rules. |
Under the Foreign Currency Administration Rules, if documents certifying the purposes of the conversion of RMB into foreign currency are submitted to the relevant foreign exchange conversion bank, the RMB will be convertible for current account items, including the distribution of dividends, interest and royalties payments, and trade and service-related foreign exchange transactions. Conversion of RMB for capital account items, such as direct investment, loans, securities investment and repatriation of investment, however, is subject to the approval of SAFE or its local counterpart.
Under the Administration Rules for the Settlement, Sale and Payment of Foreign Exchange, foreign-invested enterprises may only buy, sell and/or remit foreign currencies at banks authorized to conduct foreign exchange business after providing valid commercial documents and, in the case of capital account item transactions, obtaining approval from SAFE or its local counterpart.
As an offshore holding company with a PRC subsidiary, we may (i) make additional capital contributions to our PRC subsidiaries, (ii) establish new PRC subsidiaries and make capital contributions to these new PRC subsidiaries, (iii) make loans to our PRC subsidiaries or consolidated affiliated entities, or (iv) acquire offshore entities with business operations in China in offshore transactions. However, most of these uses are subject to PRC regulations and approvals. For example:
● | capital contributions to our PRC subsidiaries, whether existing or newly established ones, must be approved by the Ministry of Commerce or its local counterparts; | |
● | loans by us to our PRC subsidiaries, each of which is a foreign-invested enterprise, to finance their activities cannot exceed statutory limits and must be registered with SAFE or its local branches; and | |
● | loans by us to our consolidated affiliated entities, which are domestic PRC entities, must be approved by the National Development and Reform Commission and must also be registered with SAFE or its local branches. |
17 |
On August 29, 2008, SAFE promulgated the Circular on the Relevant Operating Issues concerning the Improvement of the Administration of Payment and Settlement of Foreign Currency Capital of Foreign-invested Enterprises, or “Circular 142”. On March 30, 2015, SAFE issued the Circular of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange Concerning Reform of the Administrative Approaches to Settlement of Foreign Exchange Capital of Foreign-invested Enterprises, or “Circular 19”, which became effective on June 1, 2015, to regulate the conversion by foreign invested enterprises, or FIEs, of foreign currency into Renminbi by restricting how the converted Renminbi may be used. Circular 19 requires that Renminbi converted from the foreign currency-dominated capital of a FIE shall be managed under the Accounts for FX settlement and pending payment. The expenditure scope of such Account includes: expenditure within the business scope, payment of funds for domestic equity investment and Renminbi deposits, repayment of the Renminbi loans after completed utilization and so forth. A FIE shall truthfully use its capital by itself within the business scope and shall not, directly or indirectly, use its capital or Renminbi converted from the foreign currency-dominated capital for (i) expenditure beyond its business scope or expenditure prohibited by laws or regulations, (ii) disbursing Renminbi entrusted loans (unless permitted under its business scope), repaying inter-corporate borrowings (including third-party advance) and repaying Renminbi bank loans already refinanced to any third party. Where a FIE, other than a foreign-invested investment company, foreign-invested venture capital enterprise or foreign-invested equity investment enterprise, makes domestic equity investment by transferring its capital in the original currency, it shall obey the current provisions on domestic re-investment. Where such a FIE makes domestic equity investment by its Renminbi conversion, the invested enterprise shall first go through domestic re-investment registration and open a corresponding Accounts for FX settlement and pending payment, and the FIE shall thereafter transfer the conversion to the aforesaid Account according to the actual amount of investment. In addition, according to the Regulations of the People’s Republic of China on Foreign Exchange Administration, which became effective on August 5, 2008, the use of foreign exchange or Renminbi conversion may not be changed without authorization.
Violations of the applicable circulars and rules may result in severe penalties, including substantial fines as set forth in the Foreign Exchange Administration Regulations.
In light of the various requirements imposed by PRC regulations on loans to and direct investment in PRC entities by offshore holding companies, we cannot assure you that we will be able to complete the necessary government registrations or obtain the necessary government approvals on a timely basis, if at all, with respect to future loans to our PRC subsidiary or future capital contributions by us to our PRC subsidiary. If we fail to complete such registrations or obtain such approvals, our ability to use the proceeds we expect to receive from this offering and the concurrent private placement and to capitalize or otherwise fund our PRC operations may be negatively affected, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand our business.

Company Overview
Greenpro Capital Corp. (the “Company” or “Greenpro”), was incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 19, 2013 with a fiscal year end of December 31. Our business and registered office is located at Suite 2201, 22/F., Malaysia Building 50 Gloucester Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong. Our website is at: http://www.greenprocapital.com. Information contained on our website is not part of this Annual Report on Form 10-K or our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). We continue to provide cloud accounting solutions, cross-border business solutions, record management services to small and mid-size businesses located in Asia, with an initial focus on Hong Kong, Malaysia and China.
Greenpro provides a range of services as a package solution (the “Package Solution”) to our clients. It is our intention to develop a “Package Solution,” which will build a cloud solution into traditional accounting services. By using a Package Solution, we believe that our clients can reduce their business costs and improve their revenues.
In addition to our business solution services, we also operate a venture capital business through Greenpro Venture Capital Limited, an Anguilla corporation. One of our venture capital business segments is focused on establishing a business incubator for start-up and high growth companies to support them during their critical growth periods and investing in select start-up and high growth companies. Our venture capital business is focused on companies located in Asia and Southeast Asia including Hong Kong, Malaysia, China, Thailand, and Singapore. Another one of our venture capital business segments is focused on rental activities of commercial properties, the sale of investment properties.
As of January 15, 2015, Greenpro obtained a trading symbol for the common stocks from FINRA. The Common stock can be quoted and traded in the over-the-counter market. As of April 6, 2015, Greenpro is verified for trading on the OTCQB® Venture Marketplace.
On May 6, 2015, Greenpro with approval of a majority of the Company’s shareholders, changed its name from Greenpro, Inc. to Greenpro Capital Corp.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires our management to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported, including the notes thereto, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any. We have identified certain accounting policies that are significant to the preparation of our financial statements. These accounting policies are important for an understanding of our financial condition and results of operations. Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations and require management’s subjective or complex judgment, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting the estimate may differ significantly from management’s current judgments. We believe the following accounting policies are critical in the preparation of our financial statements.
● Inventory – finished property
Inventory – finished property represents a multi-unit property developed for resale on a unit by unit basis. Inventory is stated at cost unless the inventory is determined to be impaired in which case the impaired inventory is written down to fair value. The cost of inventory – finished property includes the purchase price of property, legal fees, improvement costs to the building structure, and other acquisition costs. Project wide costs such as property acquisition and certain development costs are allocated to the specific units based upon their relative fair value before construction. All property is finished and ready for sale.
● Investment Property
Investment Property is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis over the following expected useful lives from the date on which they become fully operational and after taking into account their estimated residual values:
26 |
Categories | Expected useful life | Residual value | ||||
Leasehold land and buildings | 50 years | - | ||||
Furniture and fixtures | 3 - 10 years | 5% | ||||
Office equipment | 3 - 10 years | 5% - 10% | ||||
Leasehold improvement | Over the shorter of estimated useful life or term of lease | - |
The cost of leasehold land and buildings includes the purchase price of property, legal fees, and other acquisition costs.
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. The gain or loss on the disposal of plant and equipment is the difference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the relevant assets and is recognized in the statement of operations.
● Plant and equipment
Plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis over the following expected useful lives from the date on which they become fully operational and after taking into account their estimated residual values:
Categories | Expected useful life | Residual value | ||
Furniture and fixtures | 3 - 10 years | 5% | ||
Office equipment | 3 - 10 years | 5% - 10% | ||
Leasehold improvement | Over the shorter of estimated useful life or term of lease | - |
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. The gain or loss on the disposal of plant and equipment is the difference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the relevant assets and is recognized in the statement of operations.
● Intangible assets
Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Intangible assets represented the registration costs of trade marks registered in Hong Kong, the PRC, and Malaysia, which are amortized on a straight-line basis over a useful live of ten year. Intangible assets acquired in business combinations are provisionally considered customer lists amortized on a straight-line basis over a useful live of five year.
The Company follows ASC Topic 350 in accounting for intangible assets, which requires impairment losses to be recorded when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by the assets are less than the assets’ carrying amounts. The Company’s policy is to perform its annual impairment testing for its intangible assets on December 31, of each fiscal year.
● Goodwill
Goodwill is the excess of cost of an acquired entity over the fair value of amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. With the provision of ASC 350 “Goodwill and Other”, goodwill is not amortized, rather it is tested for impairment annually, and will be tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would indicate the carrying amount may be impaired. An impairment loss generally would be recognized when the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s net assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the reporting unit and would be measured as the excess carrying value of goodwill over the derived fair value of goodwill. The Company’s policy is to perform its annual impairment testing for its reporting units on December 31, of each fiscal year.
● Impairment of long-lived assets
Long-lived assets primarily include property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. In accordance with the provision of ASC Topic 360-10-5, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, the Company generally conducts its annual impairment evaluation to its long-lived assets, usually in the fourth quarter of each year, or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist, such as a significant sustained change in the business climate. The recoverability of long-lived assets is measured at the reporting unit level. If the total of the expected undiscounted future net cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, a loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and carrying amount of the asset. There has been no impairment charge for the periods presented.
● Cash value of life insurance
The cash value of life insurance relates to the Company-owned life insurance policies on the general manager and executive corporate advisor of the Company, which is stated at the cash surrender value of the contract.
● Investments in unconsolidated entities
Under the equity method of accounting, investments in unconsolidated entities are initially recognized in the consolidated balance sheet at cost and are subsequently adjusted to reflect the Company’s proportionate share of net earnings or losses of the entity, distributions received, contributions and certain other adjustments, as appropriate. The Company’s share of the income or loss of the unconsolidated entity is reflected in the consolidated statements of operations and will increase or decrease, as applicable, the carrying value of the Company’s investments in unconsolidated entities on the consolidated balance sheet.
27 |
When the investment cost in an unconsolidated entity is reduced to zero, the Company records no further losses in its consolidated statements of operations unless the Company has an outstanding guarantee obligation or has committed additional funding to the entity. When such entity subsequently reports income, the Company will not record its share of such income until it exceeds the amount of the Company’s share of losses not previously recognized.
● Comprehensive income
Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. The Company’s accumulated other comprehensive income consists of cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments.
● Revenue recognition
The Company recognizes its revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition”, upon the delivery of its products when: (1) delivery has occurred or services rendered; (2) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (3) there are no continuing obligations to the customer; and (4) the collection of related accounts receivable is probable.
(a) Rental income

The Company leases its commercial office premises in Malaysia and Hong Kong under various non-cancelable operating leases with terms of two to three years and renewal options. For the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company has recorded $47,937 in rental revenue, based upon its annual rental over the life of the lease under operating lease, using straight-line method.
As of December 31, 2015, the Company has the aggregate future minimum rental receivable under the non-cancelable leases over the next two years consisted of the followings:
Year ending December 31: | ||||
2016 | $ | 65,785 | ||
2017 | 31,024 | |||
Total | $ | 96,809 |
(b) Service income

(c) Sale of properties
Revenue from the sale of properties is recognized at the time each unit is delivered and title and possession are transferred to the buyer. Specifically, the Company utilizes the full accrual method where recognition occurs when (i) the collectability of the sales price is reasonably assured, (ii) the seller is not obligated to perform significant activities after the sale, (iii) the initial investment from the buyer is sufficient, and (iv) the Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of a promised property to a customer.
Revenue on sales of properties may be deferred in whole or in part until the requirements for revenue recognition have been met.
● Cost of revenues

● Non-controlling interest
Non-controlling interest represent the capital contribution, income and loss attributable to the shareholders of less than wholly-owned and consolidated entities.
● Income taxes
Income taxes are determined in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Any effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in their financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740, tax positions must initially be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions must initially and subsequently be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the position and relevant facts.
The Company conducts major businesses in Hong Kong, Malaysia and China and is subject to tax in its own jurisdiction. As a result of its business activities, the Company will file separate tax returns that are subject to examination by the foreign tax authorities.
● Foreign currencies translation
Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the statement of operations.
The reporting currency of the Company is the United States Dollars (“US$”) and the accompanying financial statements have been expressed in US$. In addition, the Company’s operating subsidiaries maintain their books and record in a local currency, Malaysian Ringgit (“MYR”), Renminbi (“RMB”), and Hong Kong Dollars (“HK$”), which is also the respective functional currencies for each subsidiary as they are the primary currency of the economic environment in which each subsidiary operates.
In general, for consolidation purposes, assets and liabilities of its subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the US$ are translated into US$, in accordance with ASC Topic 830-30, “Translation of Financial Statement”, using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the period. The gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements of foreign subsidiary are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the statement of stockholders’ equity.
Translation of amounts from the local currencies of the Company into US$ has been made at the following exchange rates for the respective periods:
As of and for the years ended December 31, | ||||||||
2015 | 2014 | |||||||
Period-end MYR : US$1 exchange rate | 4.29 | 3.61 | ||||||
Period-average MYR : US$1 exchange rate | 3.83 | 3.45 | ||||||

● Related parties
Parties, which can be a corporation or individual, are considered to be related if the Company has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Companies are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence.
●Segment reporting
ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting” establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments on a basis consistent with the Company’s internal organization structure as well as information about geographical areas, business segments and major customers in financial statements. The Company operates in two reportable operating segments in Hong Kong, China, and Malaysia.
● Fair value of financial instruments
The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments: cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, deposits, prepayments and other receivables, accounts payable, receipts in advance, loan from shareholders, amounts due to directors, amount due to related companies, amount due to non-controlling interest party, and other payables and accrued liabilities approximate at their fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments.
The Company follows the guidance of the ASC Topic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820-10”), with respect to financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value. ASC 820-10 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
● | Level 1 : Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; |
● | Level 2 : Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and |
● | Level 3 : Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions |
● Recent accounting pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605)”, and requires entities to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is not permitted. In August 2015, the FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update to defer by one year the effective dates of its new revenue recognition standard until annual reporting periods beginning after January December 15, 2017 (2018 for calendar-year public entities) and interim periods therein. Management is currently assessing the impact the adoption of ASU 2014-09 and has not determined the effect of the standard on our ongoing financial reporting.
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718). The pronouncement was issued to clarify the accounting for share-based payments when the terms of an award provide that a performance target could be achieved after the requisite service period. The pronouncement is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The adoption of ASU 2014-12 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern” (“ASU 2014-15”), which establishes management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and, if so, to provide related footnote disclosures. ASU 2014-15 provides a definition of the term “substantial doubt” and requires an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued or available to be issued. Management will also be required to evaluate and disclose whether its plans alleviate that doubt. The guidance is effective for the annual periods ending after December 15, 2016 and interim periods thereafter with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2014-15 on the Company’s financial statement presentation and disclosures.
30 |
In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-01 (Subtopic 225-20) - Income Statement - Extraordinary and Unusual Items. ASU 2015-01 eliminates the concept of an extraordinary item from GAAP. As a result, an entity will no longer be required to segregate extraordinary items from the results of ordinary operations, to separately present an extraordinary item on its income statement, net of tax, after income from continuing operations or to disclose income taxes and earnings-per-share data applicable to an extraordinary item. However, ASU 2015-01 will still retain the presentation and disclosure guidance for items that are unusual in nature and occur infrequently. ASU 2015-01 is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The adoption of ASU 2015-01 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Early adoption is permitted.
The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and does not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on its financial condition or the results of its operations.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item.
ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
The financial statements required by this item are located following the signature page of this Annual Report.
ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
The disclosure required under this section was previously reported as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 20, 2016.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We conducted an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. The term “disclosure controls and procedures”, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures also include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded as of December 31, 2015, that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. The matters involving internal controls and procedures that our management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: (1) lack of a functioning audit committee due to a lack of a majority of independent members and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; (2) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; (3) ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes; and (4) lack of internal audit function due to the fact that the Company lacks qualified resources to perform the internal audit functions properly and that the scope and effectiveness of the internal audit function are yet to be developed. The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified by our Chief Financial Officer in connection with the review of our financial statements as of December 31, 2015.
Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth in items (2) and (3) above did not have an effect on our financial results. However, management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee and the lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors results in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures, which could result in a material misstatement in our financial statements in future periods.
During the quarterly report as of September 30, 2015, we did not maintain adequate controls to ensure that purchase accounting was correctly applied pursuant to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles as defined in ASC 805 and related interpretations. Specifically, we did not sufficiently allocate the purchase consideration in connection with our acquisition of F&A and Yabez. We considered the processes followed to initially account for the acquisition that included assistance from independent valuation consultants and the complexities involved in applying the unique circumstances associated with the transaction to the pertinent literature, and determined that this significant deficiency did not constitute a material weakness in internal controls over financial reporting and that the Company’s internal knowledge base and process regarding purchase accounting has now been remediated with heightened awareness and further expertise in this area.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our 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. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The internal controls for the Company are provided by executive management’s review and approval of all transactions. Our internal control over financial reporting also includes those policies and procedures that:
1. pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;
2. provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with the authorization of our management; and
3. provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Management’s assessment included an evaluation of the design of our internal control over financial reporting and testing of the operational effectiveness of these controls.
Based on this assessment, management has concluded that as of December 31, 2015, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. In an effort to remediate the identified material weaknesses and other deficiencies and enhance our internal controls, we have initiated, or plan to initiate, the following series of measures:
We have increased our personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function, however, we should continue to hire one or more personnel for the function. We will create a position to segregate duties consistent with control objectives. And, we plan to appoint one or more outside directors to our board of directors who shall be appointed to an audit committee resulting in a fully functioning audit committee who will undertake the oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures such as reviewing and approving estimates and assumptions made by management when funds are available to us. We also plan to prepare written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting to establish a formal process to close our books monthly on an accrual basis and account for all transactions, including equity and debt transactions.
We anticipate that these initiatives will be at least partially, if not fully, implemented by the mid of fiscal year 2016. Additionally, we plan to test our updated controls and remediate our deficiencies in year 2016.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting for the year ended December 31, 2015, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
None.

Other Committees
We have not yet formed our Compensation and Nominations and Corporate Governance committees and the functions of such committees are currently performed by our entire board. We expect to form such committees in the future and anticipate that our independent directors will also serve on such committees.
In considering candidates for membership on the Board of Directors, the Board of Directors will take into consideration the needs of the Board of Directors and the candidate’s qualifications. The Board of Directors will request such information as:
● | The name and address of the proposed candidate; | |
● | The proposed candidates resume or a listing of his or her qualifications to be a director of the Company; | |
● | A description of any relationship that could affect such person’s qualifying as an independent director, including identifying all other public company board and committee memberships; | |
● | A confirmation of such person’s willingness to serve as a director if selected by the Board of Directors; and | |
● | Any information about the proposed candidate that would, under the federal proxy rules, be required to be included in the Company’s proxy statement if such person were a nominee. |
Once a person has been identified by the Board of Directors as a potential candidate, the Board of Directors may collect and review publicly available information regarding the person to assess whether the person should be considered further. Generally, if the person expresses a willingness to be considered and to serve on the Board of Directors and the Board of Directors believes that the candidate has the potential to be a good candidate, the Board of Directors would seek to gather information from or about the candidate, including through one or more interviews as appropriate and review his or her accomplishments and qualifications generally, including in light of any other candidates that the Board of Directors may be considering. The Board of Director’s evaluation process does not vary based on whether the candidate is recommended by a shareholder.
35 |
The Board of Directors will, from time to time, seek to identify potential candidates for director nominees and will consider potential candidates proposed by the Board of Directors and by management of the Company.
Code of Ethics
Our Board of Directors has adopted a code of ethics that applies to all of our directors, officers and employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires the Company’s Directors, executive officers, and persons who own more than ten percent (10%) of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities, to file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of Common Stock and other equity securities of the Company with the SEC. Officers, Directors and stockholders holding more than ten percent (10%) of the outstanding capital stock of the Company are required by SEC regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file.
Based solely on our review of the copies of such forms furnished to us and written representations by our officers and directors regarding their compliance with applicable reporting requirements under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, we believe that all Section 16(a) filing requirements for our executive officers, directors and 10% stockholders were met during the year ended January 3, 2015 except as follows: Each of Messrs.

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Compensation Philosophy and Objectives
Our executive compensation philosophy is to create a long-term direct relationship between pay and our performance. Our executive compensation program is designed to provide a balanced total compensation package over the executive’s career with us. The compensation program objectives are to attract, motivate and retain the qualified executives that help ensure our future success, to provide incentives for increasing our profits by awarding executives when corporate goals are achieved and to align the interests of executives and long-term stockholders. The compensation package of our named executive officers consists of two main elements:
1. | base salary for our executives that is competitive relative to the market, and that reflects individual performance, retention and other relevant considerations; and | |
2. | discretionary bonus awards payable in cash or shares and tied to the satisfaction of corporate objectives. |
Process for Setting Executive Compensation
Our Board of Directors is responsible for developing and overseeing the implementation of our philosophy with respect to the compensation of executives and for monitoring the implementation and results of the compensation philosophy to ensure compensation remains competitive, creates proper incentives to enhance stockholder value and rewards superior performance. The Board of Directors annually reviews and approves for each named executive officer, and particularly with regard to the Chief Executive Officer, all components of the executive’s compensation. The Board of Directors may award discretionary bonuses to each of the named executives, and reviews and approves the process and factors (including individual and corporate performance measures and actual performance versus such measures) used by the Chief Executive Officer to recommend such awards. Additionally, the Board of Directors reviews and approves the base salary, equity-incentive awards (if any) and any other special or supplemental benefits of the named executive officers.
The Chief Executive Officer periodically provides the Board of Directors with an evaluation of each named executive officer’s performance, based on the individual performance goals and objectives developed by the Chief Executive Officer at the beginning of the year, as well as other factors. The Board of Directors provides an evaluation for the Chief Executive Officer. These evaluations serve as the bases for bonus recommendations and changes in the compensation arrangements of our named executives.

Our Compensation Peer Group
We currently engage in informal market analysis in evaluating our executive compensation arrangements. As the Company and its businesses mature, we may retain compensation consultants that will assist us in developing a formal benchmark and selecting a compensation peer group of companies similar to us in size or business for the purpose of comparing executive compensation levels.
Program Components
Our executive compensation program consists of the following elements:
Base Salary
Our base salary structure is designed to encourage internal growth, attract and retain new talent, and reward strong leadership that will sustain our growth and profitability. The base salary for each named executive officer reflects our past and current operating profits, the named executive officer’s individual contribution to our success throughout his career, internal pay equity and informal market data regarding comparable positions within similarly situated companies. In determining and setting base salary, the Compensation Committee considers all of these factors, though it does not assign specific weights to any factor. The Compensation Committee generally reviews the base salary for each named executive officer on an annual basis. For each of our named executive officers, we review base salary data internally obtained by the Company for comparable executive positions in similarly situated companies to ensure that the base salary rate for each executive is competitive relative to the market.
Discretionary Bonus
The objectives of our bonus awards are to encourage and reward our employees, including the named executive officers, who contribute to and participate in our success by their ability, industry, leadership, loyalty or exceptional service and to recruit additional executives who will contribute to that success.
Each of our named executive officers is eligible for consideration for a discretionary cash bonus or shares bonus. The Chief Executive Officer makes recommendations regarding bonus awards for the named executive officers and the Board of Directors provides the bonus recommendation for the Chief Executive Officer. However, the Board of Directors has sole and final authority and discretion in designating to whom awards are made, the size of the award, if any, and its terms and conditions. The bonus recommendation for each of the named executive officers depends on a number of factors, including (i) the performance of the Company for the year, (ii) the satisfaction of certain individual and corporate performance measures, and (iii) other factors which the Board of Directors may deem relevant. The Company did not award any cash bonuses or shares bonus during fiscal year 2015.
Stock Holdings
The Board of Directors recognizes the importance of having a portion of the named executive officers’ compensation be paid in the form of equity, to help align the executives’ interests with the interests of the Company’s stockholders. At this point, however, the Board of Directors has chosen to emphasize the cash-based portion of our compensation program over a stock program because it believes the discretionary nature of the cash-based compensation gives it the needed flexibility to factor in and reward the attainment of longer-term goals for the Company and the executives, as the Board of Directors deems appropriate.
Accordingly, we encourage executive ownership of our common stock. Methods of supporting ownership include turning to executives to support the financing needs of the Company. We believe that this practice achieves the dual goals of meeting the Company’s financing needs and aligning our executives’ interests with the interests of our stockholders.
We have not timed nor do we plan to time our release of material non-public information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation.

Compensation of Directors
During our fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, we did not provide compensation to our directors for serving as our director. We currently have no formal plan for compensating our director for his services in his capacity as director, although we may elect to issue stock options or provide cash compensation to such person from time to time in the future. Directors are entitled to reimbursement for reasonable travel and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attendance at meetings of our board of directors. Our board of directors may award special remuneration to any director undertaking any special services on our behalf other than services ordinarily required of a director.
Compensation Risk Management
The Compensation Committee collaborated with our Board of directors and human resources staff to conduct an assessment of potential risks that may arise from our compensation programs. Based on this assessment, the Compensation Committee concluded that our policies and practices do not encourage excessive and unnecessary risk taking that would be reasonably likely to have material adverse effect on the Company. The assessment included our cash incentive programs, which awards non-executives with cash bonuses for punctuality. Our compensation programs are substantially identical among business units, corporate functions and global locations (with modifications to comply with local regulations as appropriate). The risk-mitigating factors considered in this assessment included:
● | the alignment of pay philosophy, peer group companies and compensation amounts relative to local competitive practices to support our business objectives; and | |
● | effective balance of cash, short- and long-term performance periods, caps on performance-based award schedules and financial metrics with individual factors and Compensation Committee and management discretion. |

Our board of directors is comprised of Mr. Lee Chong Kuang, Mr. Loke Che Chan, Gilbert, Mr Thanawat Lertwattanarak, Ms Srirat Chuchottaworn, Mr. Hee Chee Keong, Mr. Shum Albert and Mr. Chin Kiew Kwong.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
Except as set forth below, we have not been a party to any transaction since July 19, 2013 (our inception), in which the amount involved in the transaction exceeded or will exceed the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of our total assets as at the year-end for the last two completed fiscal years and in which any of our directors, executive officers or beneficial holders of more than 5% of our capital stock, or any immediate family member of, or person sharing the household with, any of these individuals, had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.
Our policy is that a contract or transaction either between the Company and a director, or between a director and another company in which he is financially interested is not necessarily void or void-able if the relationship or interest is disclosed or known to the board of directors and the stockholders are entitled to vote on the issue, or if it is fair and reasonable to our company.
Transactions with Mr. Lee, our Chief Executive Officer and/or Mr. Loke, our Chief Financial Officer
In August 2013, the Company issued two 8% Convertible Promissory Notes (the “Notes”) to our Chief Executive Officer, Lee Chong Kuang and our Chief Financial Officer, Loke Che Chan, Gilbert (the “Holders”), in the principal amount of $41,250 for each Note, pursuant to certain Securities Purchase Agreements dated August 12, 2013. The Notes were convertible into the Company’s Common Stock at the Holders’ election at a conversion price of $.00825 per share. On August 31, 2014, the maturity date of the Notes, the Holders elected to convert $41,250 of the principle sum of the Note into 5,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company for each note, for an aggregate of 10,000,000 shares of our common stock.
As of June 30, 2015, we have advanced $1,197,352 to a related company controlled by the directors of the Company, Lee Chong Kuang and Loke Che Chan, Gilbert, for the purpose of business development, which bears no interest and is payable upon demand. The related company financial statement has been consolidated into the Company financial statements, after acquisition on September 2015.
On July 31, 2015, GRNQ and Ms. Yap Pei Ling, the sole shareholder of A&G International Limited, a Belize corporation (“A&G”), and spouse of Lee Chong Kuang, our Chief Executive Officer, President and director, entered into a Sale and Purchase Agreement (the “A&G Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which GRNQ agreed to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding securities of A&G. As consideration therefor, GRNQ issued Ms. Yap 1,842,000 restricted shares of GRNQ’s common stock, representing an aggregate purchase price of $957,840 based on the average closing price of the ten trading days preceding July 31, 2015 of $0.52 per share. The purchase price was determined based on the existing business value generated from A&G.
As of December 31, 2014, the Company received $1,032 in advisory income from CGN Nanotech Inc. Loke Che Chan, Gilbert, our Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and director, is the Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer, Secretary, and director of CGN Nanotech Inc. Greenpro Venture Capital Limited, an investment holding of the Company, holds approximately 20% of the issued and outstanding securities of CGN Nanotech Inc.

Transactions with Mr. Lertwattanarak and Ms. Chuchottaworn, our Directors
During the six months period ended June 30, 2015, and prior to their appointment to our Board of Directors on October 18, 2015, Mr. Thanawat Lertwattanarak and Ms. Srirat Chuchottaworn advanced collectively $1,171,000 to the Company, which bears no interest and is payable upon demand, for the purpose of business development.
In July 2015, the Company issued two 8% Convertible Promissory Notes (the “Notes”) to Mr.Thanawat Lertwattanarak and Ms. Srirat Chuchottaworn (the “Holders”), in the principal amount of $585,500 for each Note, pursuant to certain Securities Purchase Agreements dated July 10, 2015. The Notes were convertible into the Company’s Common Stock at the Holders’ election at a conversion price of $1 per share. On August 31, 2015, the Holders elected to convert $585,500 of the principle sum of the Note into 585,500 shares of common stock of the Company for each note, for an aggregate of 1,171,000 shares of our common stock.
We believe that all of these related party transactions are generally transacted in an arm-length basis at the current market value in the normal course of business.
Director Independence
We have adopted standards for director independence that correspond to NASDAQ listing standards and SEC rules. The NASDAQ independence definition includes a series of objective tests, such as that the director is not, and has not been for at least three years, one of our employees and that neither the director, nor any of his family members has engaged in various types of business dealings with us. To be considered independent, the Board must affirmatively determine that neither the director, nor any member of his or her immediate family, has had any direct or indirect material relationship with the Company within the previous three years.
The Board considered relationships, transactions and/or arrangements with each of the directors and concluded that none of the non-employee directors, or any of his or her immediate family members, has any relationship with us that would impair his or her independence. The Board has determined that each of Hee Chee Keong, Shum Albert and Chin Kiew Kwong qualifies as an independent director under applicable NASDAQ listing standards and SEC rules.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors
Greenpro Capital Corp.
Suite 2201, 22/F., Malaysia Building,
50 Gloucester Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Greenpro Capital Corp. (the "Company") as of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, and their related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for the two month period from November 1, 2014 to December 31, 2014 and for year ended December 31, 2015. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. The financial statements of the Company as of October 31, 2014 and for the year then ended were audited by other auditors, whose report dated January 23, 2015, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.
We conducted our audit in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company was not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 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. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2015, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2, the Company has recurring losses from operations and accumulated deficit for both years. These conditions, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2015 AND 2014
(Currency expressed in United States Dollars (“US$”))
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS BACKGROUND
Greenpro, Inc. (the “Company” or “GRNQ”) was incorporated on July 19, 2013 in the state of Nevada. On May 6, 2015, the Company changed its name to Greenpro Capital Corp. The Company currently operates and provides a wide range of business solution services varying from cloud system resolution, financial consulting service and corporate accounting services to small and mid-size businesses located in Asia, with an initial focus in Hong Kong, China, and Malaysia. The Company’s comprehensive range of services cover cloud accounting solutions, cross-border business solutions, record management services, and accounting outsourcing services.
In addition to our business solution services, we also operate a venture capital business through Greenpro Venture Capital Limited, an Anguilla corporation. One of our venture capital business segments is focused on establishing a business incubator for start-up and high growth companies to support them during their critical growth periods and investing in select start-up and high growth companies. Our venture capital business is focused on companies located in Asia and Southeast Asia including Hong Kong, Malaysia, China, Thailand, and Singapore. Another one of our venture capital business segments is focused on rental activities of commercial properties, the sale of investment properties.
On July 29, 2015, the Company entered into a Sale and Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Greenpro Resources Limited (“GRBV”), a company incorporated in British Virgin Islands, and the stockholders of GRBV to purchase 100% of the issued and outstanding shares and the assets of GRBV. Pursuant to the Agreement, GRNQ agreed to issue 9,070,000 shares of its restricted common stock at $0.35 per share to the stockholders of GRBV and pay $25,500 in cash, representing an aggregate purchase consideration of $3,200,000. Mr. Lee Chong Kuang and Mr. Loke Che Chan, Gilbert, the directors of the Company, are the stockholders and directors of GRBV each with 50% shareholdings.
On July 31, 2015, the Company further entered into various Sale and Purchase Agreements to purchase the following companies:
(i) | 100% of the issued and outstanding shares and the assets of A&G International Limited (“A&G”), a company incorporated in Belize. GRNQ agreed to issue 1,842,000 shares of its restricted common stock at $0.52 per share to the stockholder of A&G, representing an aggregate purchase consideration of $957,840.

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2015 AND 2014
(Currency expressed in United States Dollars (“US$”))
On September 30, 2015, the Company further entered into a Sale and Purchase Agreement to purchase the following company:
(iv) | 100% of the issued and outstanding shares and the assets of Greenpro Venture Capital Limited (“GPVC”), a company incorporated in Anguilla. GRNQ agreed to issue 13,260,000 shares of its restricted common stock at $0.60 per share to the stockholders of GPVC and pay $6,000 in cash, representing an aggregate purchase consideration of $7,962,000. Mr. Lee Chong Kuang and Mr. Loke Che Chan, Gilbert, the directors of the Company, are the stockholders and directors of GPVC each with 50% shareholdings. |
These shares exchange transactions between GRNQ and GRBV, A&G, and GPVC resulted in the owners of these companies obtaining a majority of over 89% voting interest in GRNQ. The merger of GRBV, A&G, and GPVC into GRNQ, which has nominal net assets, is considered to be acquisition transactions under common control. For accounting purpose, GRNQ presents consolidated financial statements as of the beginning of the period as though the shares exchanges had occurred at the beginning of the period. Financial statements of all prior periods are retrospectively adjusted to furnish comparative information. No goodwill was recognized for these acquisition transactions under common control.
The acquisition of F&A and Yabez is considered as business combination using the acquisition method of accounting under ASC 805 “Business Combinations”, which requires all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including amounts attributable to non-controlling interest, be recorded at their respective fair values at the date of acquisition. Any excess of purchase price over the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is allocated to goodwill.
On October 1, 2015, QSC Asia Sdn. Bhd., an unaffiliated third party, acquired 49% of Greenpro Capital Village Sdn. Bhd. (Formerly known as Greenpro Global Advisory Sdn. Bhd.) in consideration of $11,000 (RM 49,000) from Greenpro Financial Consulting Limited. Concurrently with such sale, Greenpro Financial Consulting Limited transferred 51% of Greenpro Capital Village Sdn. Bhd. to Greenpro Holding Limited, our subsidiary. This subsidiary becomes the new business arm which provides educational and support services.
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTIES
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
As of December 31, 2015, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $567,931 and incurred a net operating loss of $383,772 for the year ended December 31, 2015. The continuation of the Company as a going concern through December 31, 2016 is dependent upon improving the profitability and the continuing financial support from its stockholders. Management believes the existing shareholders or external financing will provide the additional cash to meet the Company’s obligations as they become due.
These and other factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result in the Company not being able to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the application of certain significant accounting policies as described in this note and elsewhere in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes.

(Currency expressed in United States Dollars (“US$”))
● Basis of presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).
● Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and include the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of all majority-owned subsidiaries over which the Company exercises control and, when applicable, entities for which the Company has a controlling financial interest or is the primary beneficiary. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company records income attributable to non-controlling interest in the consolidated statements of operations for any non-owned portion of consolidated subsidiaries. Non-controlling interest is recorded within the equity section but separate from GRNQ’s equity in the consolidated balance sheets.
● Use of estimates
In preparing these consolidated financial statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the balance sheets and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The following are some of the areas requiring significant judgments and estimates: determinations of the useful lives of assets, estimates of allowances for doubtful accounts, cash flow and valuation assumptions in performing asset impairment tests of long-lived assets.
● Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost and represent cash on hand, demand deposits placed with banks or other financial institutions and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less as of the purchase date of such investments.
● Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount less an allowance for any uncollectible accounts and do not bear interest, which are due on demand. Management reviews the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts on an ongoing basis, using historical collection trends and aging of receivables. Management also periodically evaluates individual customer’s financial condition, credit history, and the current economic conditions to make adjustments in the allowance when it is considered necessary. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.
● Inventory – finished property
Inventory – finished property represents a multi-unit property developed for resale on a unit by unit basis. Inventory is stated at cost unless the inventory is determined to be impaired in which case the impaired inventory is written down to fair value. The cost of inventory – finished property includes the purchase price of property, legal fees, improvement costs to the building structure, and other acquisition costs. Project wide costs such as land acquisition and certain development costs are allocated to the specific units based upon their relative fair value before construction. All property is finished and ready for sale.

(Currency expressed in United States Dollars (“US$”))
In conducting its reviews for indicators of impairment, the Company evaluates, among other things, the margins on units already sold within the project, margins on units under contract but not closed (none as of December 31, 2015), and projected margin on future unit sales. The Company pays particular attention to discern if inventory is moving at a slower than expected pace or where margins are trending downward. As at December 31, 2015, the Company determined inventory – finished property was not impaired.
● Investment Property
Investment Property is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis over the following expected useful lives from the date on which they become fully operational and after taking into account their estimated residual values:
Categories | Expected useful life | Residual value | ||||
Leasehold land and buildings | 50 years | - | ||||
Furniture and fixtures | 3 - 10 years | 5% | ||||
Office equipment | 3 - 10 years | 5% - 10% | ||||
Leasehold improvement | Over the shorter of estimated useful life or term of lease | - |
The cost of leasehold land and buildings includes the purchase price of property, legal fees, and other acquisition costs.
Depreciation expense, classify as cost of rental, for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 were $30,975 and $35,440, respectively.
● Plant and equipment
Plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis over the following expected useful lives from the date on which they become fully operational and after taking into account their estimated residual values:
Categories | Expected useful life | Residual value | ||||
Furniture and fixtures | 3 - 10 years | 5% | ||||
Office equipment | 3 - 10 years | 5% - 10% | ||||
Leasehold improvement | Over the shorter of estimated useful life or term of lease | - |
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. The gain or loss on the disposal of plant and equipment is the difference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the relevant assets and is recognized in the statement of operations.
Depreciation expense, classify as operating expenses, for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 were $11,809 and $4,472, respectively.

● Intangible assets
Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Intangible assets represented the registration costs of trade marks registered in Hong Kong, the PRC, and Malaysia, which are amortized on a straight-line basis over a useful live of ten year. Intangible assets acquired in business combinations are provisionally considered customer lists amortized on a straight-line basis over a useful live of five year.
The Company follows ASC Topic 350 in accounting for intangible assets, which requires impairment losses to be recorded when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by the assets are less than the assets’ carrying amounts. There were no impairment losses recorded on intangible assets for the year ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.
Amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 were $35,164 and $225, respectively.
● Goodwill
Goodwill is the excess of cost of an acquired entity over the fair value of amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. With the provision of ASC 350 “Goodwill and Other”, goodwill is not amortized, rather it is tested for impairment annually, and will be tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would indicate the carrying amount may be impaired. An impairment loss generally would be recognized when the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s net assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the reporting unit and would be measured as the excess carrying value of goodwill over the derived fair value of goodwill. The Company’s policy is to perform its annual impairment testing for its reporting units on December 31, of each fiscal year.
● Impairment of long-lived assets
Long-lived assets primarily include property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. In accordance with the provision of ASC Topic 360-10-5, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, the Company generally conducts its annual impairment evaluation to its long-lived assets, usually in the fourth quarter of each year, or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist, such as a significant sustained change in the business climate. The recoverability of long-lived assets is measured at the reporting unit level. If the total of the expected undiscounted future net cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, a loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and carrying amount of the asset. There has been no impairment charge for the periods presented.
● Cash value of life insurance
The cash value of life insurance relates to the Company-owned life insurance policies on the general manager and executive corporate advisor of the Company, which is stated at the cash surrender value of the contract.
● Investments in unconsolidated entities
Under the equity method of accounting, investments in unconsolidated entities are initially recognized in the consolidated balance sheet at cost and are subsequently adjusted to reflect the Company’s proportionate share of net earnings or losses of the entity, distributions received, contributions and certain other adjustments, as appropriate. The Company’s share of the income or loss of the unconsolidated entity is reflected in the consolidated statements of operations and will increase or decrease, as applicable, the carrying value of the Company’s investments in unconsolidated entities on the consolidated balance sheet.

When the investment cost in an unconsolidated entity is reduced to zero, the Company records no further losses in its consolidated statements of operations unless the Company has an outstanding guarantee obligation or has committed additional funding to the entity. When such entity subsequently reports income, the Company will not record its share of such income until it exceeds the amount of the Company’s share of losses not previously recognized.
● Comprehensive income
Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. The Company’s accumulated other comprehensive income consists of cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments.
● Revenue recognition
The Company recognizes its revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition”, upon the delivery of its products when: (1) delivery has occurred or services rendered; (2) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (3) there are no continuing obligations to the customer; and (4) the collection of related accounts receivable is probable.
(a) Rental income
Revenue from rental of leasehold land and buildings are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term when collectability is reasonably assured and the tenant has taken possession or controls the physical use of the leased assets.
The Company leases its commercial office premises in Malaysia and Hong Kong under various non-cancelable operating leases with terms of two to three years and renewal options. For the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company has recorded $51,464 in rental revenue, based upon its annual rental over the life of the lease under operating lease, using straight-line method.
(b) Service income
Revenue from the provision of (i) business consulting and advisory services and (ii) company secretarial, accounting and financial review services are recognized when there is (i) an existence of contract or an arrangement (ii) services are rendered, (iii) the service price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonable assured.
(c) Sale of properties
Revenue from the sale of properties is recognized at the time each unit is delivered and title and possession are transferred to the buyer. Specifically, the Company utilizes the full accrual method where recognition occurs when (i) the collectability of the sales price is reasonably assured, (ii) the seller is not obligated to perform significant activities after the sale, (iii) the initial investment from the buyer is sufficient, and (iv) the Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of a promised property to a customer.
Revenue on sales of properties may be deferred in whole or in part until the requirements for revenue recognition have been met.

Cost of revenue on rental shown on the accompanying statements of operations include costs associated with government rent and rates, repairs and maintenance, property insurance, depreciation and other related administrative costs. Property management fee and utility expenses are paid directly by tenants.
Costs of revenue on provision of services primarily consist of employee compensation and related payroll benefits, company formation cost and other professional fees directly attributable to cost in related to the services rendered.
Cost of revenues on sale of properties primary consist of the purchase price of property, legal fees, improvement costs to the building structure, and other acquisition costs. Selling and advertising costs are expensed as incurred.
● Non-controlling interest
Non-controlling interest represents the capital contribution, income and loss attributable to the shareholders of less than wholly-owned and consolidated entities.
● Income taxes
Income taxes are determined in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Any effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in their financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740, tax positions must initially be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions must initially and subsequently be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the position and relevant facts.
The Company conducts major businesses in Hong Kong, Malaysia and China and is subject to tax in its own jurisdiction. As a result of its business activities, the Company will file separate tax returns that are subject to examination by the foreign tax authorities.
● Foreign currencies translation
Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the statement of operations.

The Company follows the guidance of the ASC Topic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820-10”), with respect to financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value. ASC 820-10 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
● | Level 1 : Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; |
● | Level 2 : Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and |
● | Level 3 : Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions |
● Recent accounting pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605)”, and requires entities to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is not permitted. In August 2015, the FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update to defer by one year the effective dates of its new revenue recognition standard until annual reporting periods beginning after January December 15, 2017 (2018 for calendar-year public entities) and interim periods therein. Management is currently assessing the impact the adoption of ASU 2014-09 and has not determined the effect of the standard on our ongoing financial reporting.
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718). The pronouncement was issued to clarify the accounting for share-based payments when the terms of an award provide that a performance target could be achieved after the requisite service period. The pronouncement is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The adoption of ASU 2014-12 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern” (“ASU 2014-15”), which establishes management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and, if so, to provide related footnote disclosures. ASU 2014-15 provides a definition of the term “substantial doubt” and requires an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued or available to be issued. Management will also be required to evaluate and disclose whether its plans alleviate that doubt. The guidance is effective for the annual periods ending after December 15, 2016 and interim periods thereafter with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2014-15 on the Company’s financial statement presentation and disclosures.
In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-01 (Subtopic 225-20) - Income Statement - Extraordinary and Unusual Items. ASU 2015-01 eliminates the concept of an extraordinary item from GAAP. As a result, an entity will no longer be required to segregate extraordinary items from the results of ordinary operations, to separately present an extraordinary item on its income statement, net of tax, after income from continuing operations or to disclose income taxes and earnings-per-share data applicable to an extraordinary item.

However, ASU 2015-01 will still retain the presentation and disclosure guidance for items that are unusual in nature and occur infrequently. ASU 2015-01 is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The adoption of ASU 2015-01 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Early adoption is permitted.
The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and does not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on its financial condition or the results of its operations.
NOTE 4 - BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
On September 30, 2015, GRNQ completed the business purchase of 100% and 60% equity interest and assets of F&A and Yabez, respectively. F&A and Yabez mainly provide corporate and business advisory, company secretarial and IT related services. GRNQ agreed to issue 2,080,200 shares and 486,171 shares of its restricted common stock for the purchase of F&A and Yabez. Due to thin-trade market of the Company, the purchase price consideration transferred is based on the latest offering price in the private placement to third party before the acquisition close date, which is $0.8 per share of restricted common stock.
Recording of the Provisional Amount of Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed
In accordance with ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations”, the Company accounts for acquisitions by applying the acquisition method of accounting. The acquisition method requires, among other things, that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination be measured at fair value as of the closing date of the acquisition. The purchase price allocation below has been developed based on provisional fair value of F&A and Yabez as of September 30, 2015. As of the date of this quarterly report, GRNQ has not completed the detailed valuation studies necessary to arrive at the required estimates of the fair value of F&A and Yabez’s assets to be acquired and the liabilities to be assumed and the related allocations of purchase price, but expected to be finalized before Q2 of 2016. Therefore, the allocation of the purchase price to acquired intangible assets is based on provisional fair value estimates and subject to final management analysis, with the assistance of third party valuation advisors. The estimated intangible asset values and their useful lives could be affected by a variety of factors that may become known to GRNQ only upon access to additional information and/or changes in these factors that may occur prior to the effective time of the acquisition. The preliminary estimated intangible assets consist of customer relationships and customer lists. The estimated useful lives of customer lists are five years. Additional intangible asset classes may be identified as the valuation process is finalized.
The residual amount of the purchase price after preliminary allocation to net assets acquired and identifiable intangibles has been allocated to goodwill.
As of the acquisition date, the preliminary allocations of the purchase price are estimated as follows:
F&A | Yabez | |||||||
Plant and equipment | $ | 1,267 | $ | 3,025 | ||||
Accounts receivable | 102,676 | 39,435 | ||||||

(Currency expressed in United States Dollars (“US$”))
(c) Credit risk
Financial instruments that are potentially subject to credit risk consist principally of accounts receivable. The Company believes the concentration of credit risk in its trade receivables is substantially mitigated by its ongoing credit evaluation process and relatively short collection terms. The Company does not generally require collateral from customers. The Company evaluates the need for an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information.
(d) Interest rate risk
As the Company has no significant interest-bearing assets, the Company’s income and operating cash flows are substantially independent of changes in market interest rates. The Company’s interest-rate risk arises from bank loans. The Company manages interest rate risk by varying the issuance and maturity dates variable rate debt, limiting the amount of variable rate debt, and continually monitoring the effects of market changes in interest rates.
(e) Exchange rate risk
The reporting currency of the Company is US$, to date the majority of the revenues and costs are denominated in MYR and RMB and a significant portion of the assets and liabilities are denominated in MYR and RMB. As a result, the Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk as its revenues and results of operations may be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate between US$, MYR and RMB. If MYR and RMB depreciates against US$, the value of MYR and RMB revenues and assets as expressed in US$ financial statements will decline. The Company does not hold any derivative or other financial instruments that expose it to substantial market risk.
(f) Economic and political risks
Substantially all of the Company’s services are conducted in Malaysia, the PRC and Asian region. The Company’s operations are subject to various political, economic, and other risks and uncertainties inherent in Malaysia. Among other risks, the Company’s operations are subject to the risks of restrictions on transfer of funds; export duties, quotas, and embargoes; domestic and international customs and tariffs; changing taxation policies; foreign exchange restrictions; and political conditions and governmental regulations in Malaysia.
The Company’s operations in the PRC are subject to special considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environment and foreign currency exchange. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in the political and social conditions in the PRC, and by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion, remittances abroad, and rates and methods of taxation.
