Business Overview

 

We currently operate and provide a wide range of business solution 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 include 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.

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 (1) establishing a business incubator for start-up and high growth companies to support such companies during critical growth periods, which will include education and support services, and (2) searching the investment opportunities in selected start-up and high growth companies, which can generate exponential return to the Company. We expect to target companies located in Asia and South-East Asia including Hong Kong, Malaysia, China, Thailand, and Singapore.

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.

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.

 

Accounting Outsourcing Services

 

We intend to develop 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 wealth management services to our clients. We intend to include local accounting firms within this network to provide general accounting, financial evaluation and advisory services to our clients. Our expectation is that firms within our professional network will refer their international clients to us 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 clients by providing a convenient, one-stop firm for their local and international business and financial compliance and governance needs.

 

Our Service Rates

 

We intend to have a two-tiered rate system based upon the type of services being offering. We may impose project-based fees, where we charge 10% -25% of the revenues generated by the client on projects that are completed using our services, such as transaction projects contract compliance projects, and business planning projects. We may also charge a flat rate fee or fixed fee based on the estimated complexity and timing of a project when our professionals provide specified expertise to our clients on a project. For example, for the cross-border business solutions, 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 2015, we entered the venture capital business in Hong Kong with a focus on companies located in Asia and South-East Asia, including Hong Kong, Malaysia, China, Thailand, and Singapore. Our venture capital business is focused on (1) establishing a business incubator for start-up and high growth companies to support such companies during critical growth periods and (2) investment opportunities in select start-up and high growth companies. .

 

We believe that a company’s life cycle can be divided into five stages, including the seed stage, start up stage, expansion stage, mature stage and decline stage.

 

  Seed stage: Financing is needed for assets, and research and development of an initial business concept. 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 operating the business for a short period of time, but may not have sold their products commercially. In this phase, costs are increasing due to. product development, market research and the need to recruit personnel. Low levels of revenues are starting to generate.
     
  Expansion stage: Financing is needed for growth and expansion. Capital may be used to finance increased production capacity, product or marketing development or to hire additional personnel. In the early expansion phase, sales and production increases 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 anticipate that most of a company’s funding needs will occur during these first three stages.

 

We intend for 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 in our venture capital companies including board representation, strategic marketing, corporate governance, and capital structuring. We believe that there will be potential investment opportunities for us in these start-up companies.

In addition to our business incubator, we have also taken an equity position in the following companies that we believe have high growth potential.

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 company’s shares are offered in a public sale on an established securities market.
     
  Trade sale (Acquisition): The entire company is sold to another company.
     
  Secondary sale: The company’s firm sells only part of its shares..
     
  Buyback or MBO: Either the entrepreneur or the management of the company buys back the company’s shares of the firm.
     
  Reconstruction, liquidation or bankruptcy: If the project fails the company will restructure or close down the operations.

Our objective for 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 intend to provide educational and support services that we believe will be synergistic with our venture capital business. We intend to provide these educational services through our subsidiary Greenpro Capital Village Sdn. Bhd. Specifically, we expect to arrange one or more seminars called the CEO & Business Owners Strategic Session (CBOSS) for business owners who are interested in the following:

 

  Developing their business globally;
     
  Expanding business with increased capital funding;
     
  Creating a sustainable SME business model;
     
  Accelerating the growth of the business; and
     
  Significantly increasing company cash flows.

 

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.

 

Sales and Marketing

 

We plan to deploy three strategies to market the Greenpro brand: leadership, market segmentation, and sales management process development.

 

  Building Brand Image: Greenpro’s marketing efforts will focus on building the image of the our extensive expertise and knowledge of our professionals. We intend to conduct a marketing campaign through media visibility, seminars, webinars, and the creation of a wide variety of white papers, newsletters, books, and other information.
     
  Market segmentation: We plan to devote 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

 

We intend to assist our clients in the cost-effective preparation of their financial statements and provide security based on such financial information since the data will be stored in 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 clients. We believe our 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 an office network, professional staff members, and operational tools to make the advisory and consulting business more competitive.

 

Customers

 

Before the acquisitions previously described, we generated minimal revenue from three clients in Hong Kong. The revenue generated related to assisting these clients with company formation and secretary services. As a result of the new acquisition, we expect to generate revenues from clients located globally including those from Hong Kong, China, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, Australia, Japan, Taiwan, Russia, USA. Our venture capital business segment will initially focus on Hong Kong and South-East 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 $2,776,435 during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016. Our venture capital business accounted for approximately two percent of our net revenue. We are not a party to any long-term agreements with our customers.

 

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 Package Solution. We also compete with numerous local and international financial advisory and corporate business service companies, however those companies do not offer our broad range of services. They typically focus on specialized areas such as tax planning and cross-border solutions.. 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 a 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 intellectual property.

 

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.

 

13
 

 

We rely on trade secrets and un-patentable 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.

 

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.

 

14
 

 

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.

 

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.

 

15
 

 

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.

 

16
 

 

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.

 

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.

 

Seasonality

 

Our businesses are not subject to seasonality.

 

17
 

 

Insurance

 

We do not current maintain property, business interruption and casualty insurance. As our business matures, we expect to obtain such insurance in accordance customary industry practices in Malaysia, Hong Kong and China, as applicable.

 

Employees

 

As of March 27, 2017, we have 42 employees, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, located in the following territories:

 

Country/Territory   Number of Employees
Malaysia   12
China   19
Hong Kong   11

 

As a result of the Employment Contract Law, all of our employees in China have executed standard written employment agreements with us.

 

We are required to contribute to the Employees Provident Fund under a defined contribution pension plan for all eligible employees in Malaysia between the ages of eighteen and fifty-five. We are required to contribute a specified percentage of the participant’s income based on their ages and wage level. The participants are entitled to all of our contributions together with accrued returns regardless of their length of service with the company. For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the contributions are $19,151 and $3,378, respectively.

 

We are required to contribute to the MPF for all eligible employees in Hong Kong between the ages of eighteen and sixty five. We are required to contribute a specified percentage of the participant’s income based on their ages and wage level. For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, Greenpro Resources Limited and its subsidiaries did not have employees in Hong Kong. For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the MPF contributions by Greenpro Capital Corp. were $14,529 and $11,627, respectively. We have not experienced any significant labor disputes or any difficulties in recruiting staff for our operations.

 

We are required to contribute to the Social Insurance Schemes and Housing fund Schemes for all eligible employees in PRC. For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the contributions were $9,262 and $1,772, respectively.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

You should carefully consider the risks described below and elsewhere in this report, which could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition. Our business faces significant risks and the risks described below may not be the only risks we face. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial may materially affect our business, results of operations, or financial condition. If any of these risks occur, the trading price of our common stock could decline and you may lose all or part of your investment.

 

18
 

 

Risks Related to our Business

 

We have a limited operating history that you can use to evaluate us, and the likelihood of our success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays frequently encountered by a small developing company.

 

We were incorporated in Nevada in July 2013. We have significant financial resources and as of December 31, 2016, we have generated $2,776,435 in revenues and incurred net losses of $222,323. The likelihood of our success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays frequently encountered by a small company starting a new business enterprise and the highly competitive environment in which we will operate. We have a limited operating history upon which an evaluation of our future success or failure can be made. Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow is dependent upon:

 

  our ability to market our product and services
     
  our ability to generate revenues; and
     
  our ability to raise the capital necessary to continue marketing and developing our product.

 

The report of our independent registered public accounting firm has previously expressed substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and future reports may similarly express a going concern.

 

Our auditors indicated in their report on the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 that conditions existed that raise a substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern due to our net loss for the year ended December 31, 2015. A similar future “going concern” opinion could impair our ability to finance our operations through the sale of equity, incurring debt, or other financing alternatives and/or negatively affect our relationships with customers and suppliers and/or negatively effect the willingness of our suppliers to allow us to maintain credit with them. Our ability to continue as a going concern will depend upon our ability to grow our operations and integrate newly acquired assets and operations, our ability to acquire additional assets and operations, and our ability to improve operating margins and regain profitability. If we are unable to achieve these goals, our business would be jeopardized and the Company may not be able to continue. If we ceased operations, it is likely that all of our investors would lose their investment.

 

Our operating results may prove unpredictable which could negatively affect our profit.

 

Our operating results are likely to fluctuate significantly in the future due to a variety of factors, many of which we have no control. Factors that may cause our operating results to fluctuate significantly include: our inability to generate enough working capital from future equity sales; the level of commercial acceptance by clients of our services; fluctuations in the demand for our service the amount and timing of operating costs and capital expenditures relating to expansion of our business, operations and infrastructure and general economic conditions.

If realized, any of these risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

 

If we are unable to gain any significant market acceptance for our service or establish a significant market presence, we may be unable to generate sufficient revenue to continue our business.

 

Our growth strategy is substantially dependent upon our ability to successfully market our service to prospective clients. However, our planned services may not achieve significant acceptance. Such acceptance, if achieved, may not be sustained for any significant period of time. Failure of our services to achieve or sustain market acceptance could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial conditions and the results of our operations.

 

Management’s ability to implement the business strategy may be slower than expected and we may be unable to generate a profit.

 

Our business plans, including offering a cloud auditing system and consulting services, may be slow to develop or may not occur at all. Our services may be slow to achieve profitability, or may not become profitable at all, which will result in losses. We may be unable to enter into our intended markets successfully. The factors that could affect our growth strategy include our success in (a) developing our business plan, (b) obtaining our clients, (c) obtaining adequate financing on acceptable terms, and (d) adapting our internal controls and operating procedures to accommodate our future growth.

 

19
 

 

Competitors may enter this market with superior services which would adversely affect our business.

 

We have identified a market opportunity for our business. Potential competitors may enter this sector with superior services. This would have an adverse effect upon our business and the results of our operations. In addition, a high level of support is critical for the successful marketing and recurring sales of our services. Although we currently only have a limited number of customers, we may need to improve our platform and software in order to assist our potential customers in using our platform, and we also need to provide effective support to future clients. Our inability to make necessary improvements and upgrades to our platform in the event of the expansion of our business, would adversely affect the sale of our services to potential customers and would harm our reputation.

 

Our use of open source and third-party software could impose limitations on our ability to commercialize our services.

 

We intend to incorporate open source software into our platform. Although we monitor our use of open source closely, the terms of many open source licenses have not been interpreted by U.S. courts or jurisdictions elsewhere, and there is a risk that such licenses could be construed in a manner that could impose unanticipated conditions or restrictions on our ability to commercialize our services. We could also be subject to similar conditions or restrictions should there be any changes in the licensing terms of the open source software incorporated into our products. In either event, we could be required to seek licenses from third parties in order to continue our services in the event re-engineering cannot be accomplished on a timely or successful basis, any of which could adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.

 

We also intend to incorporate certain third-party technologies, including software programs, into our website and may need to utilize additional third-party technologies in the future. However, licenses to relevant third-party technology may not continue to be available to us on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. Therefore, we could face delays in releases of our platform until equivalent technology can be identified, licensed or developed, and integrated into our current products. These delays, if they occur, could materially adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition. Any disruption in our access to software programs or third-party technologies could result in significant delays in releases of our platform and could require substantial effort to locate or develop a replacement program. If we decide in the future to incorporate into our products any other software program licensed from a third party, and the use of such software program is necessary for the proper operation of our appliances, then our loss of any such license would similarly adversely affect our ability to release our products in a timely fashion.

 

The security of our computer systems may be compromised and harm our business.

 

A significant portion of our business operations is conducted through use of our computer network. Although we intend to implement security systems and procedures to protect the confidential information stored on these computer systems, experienced computer programmers and hackers may be able to penetrate our network security and misappropriate our confidential information or that of third parties. As well, they may be able to create system disruptions, shutdowns or effect denial of service attacks. Computer programmers and hackers also may be able to develop and deploy viruses, worms, and other malicious software programs that attack our networks or client computers, or otherwise exploit any security vulnerabilities, or that misappropriate and distribute confidential information stored on these computer systems. Any of the foregoing could result in damage to our reputation and customer confidence in the security of our products and services, and could require us to incur significant costs to eliminate or alleviate the problem. Additionally, our ability to transact business may be affected. Such damage, expenditures and business interruption could seriously impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

20
 

 

Adverse developments in our existing areas of operation could adversely impact our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

 

Our operations are focused on utilizing our sales efforts which are principally located in South-East Asia. As a result, our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition depend upon the demand for our services in these regions. Due to our current lack of broad diversification in industry type and geographic location, adverse developments in our current segment of the midstream industry, or our existing areas of operation, could have a significantly greater impact on our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition than if our operations were more diversified.

 

We are an “emerging growth company” and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make our common stock less attractive to investors.

 

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” including not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.

 

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. An “emerging growth company” can therefore delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We are choosing to follow the extended transition period, and as a result, we will delay adoption of certain new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies.

 

Risks Related to Doing Business in South-East Asia

 

Our contractual arrangements may not be as effective in providing control over the variable interest entities as direct ownership.

 

We rely on contractual arrangements with our variable interest entities to hold part of our assets in Hong Kong. For a description of these contractual arrangements, see “Acquisition and Reorganization History - VIE Structure And Arrangements.” These contractual arrangements may not be as effective as direct ownership in providing us with control over our variable interest entities.

 

If we had direct ownership of the variable interest entities, we would be able to exercise our rights as an equity holder directly to effect changes in the boards of directors of those entities, which could effect changes at the management and operational level. Under our contractual arrangements, we may not be able to directly change the members of the boards of directors of these entities and would have to rely on the variable interest entities and the variable interest entity equity holders to perform their obligations in order to exercise our control over the variable interest entities. The variable interest entity equity holders may have conflicts of interest with us or our shareholders, and they may not act in the best interests of our company or may not perform their obligations under these contracts. For example, our variable interest entities and their respective equity holders could breach their contractual arrangements with us by, among other things, failing to conduct their operations, including maintaining our websites and using our domain names and trademarks which the relevant variable interest entities have exclusive rights to use, in an acceptable manner or taking other actions that are detrimental to our interests. Pursuant to the call option, we may replace the equity holders of the variable interest entities at any time pursuant to the contractual arrangements. Consequently, the contractual arrangements may not be as effective in ensuring our control over the relevant portion of our business operations as direct ownership.

Our business is subject to the risks of international operations.

 

Substantially all of our business operations are conducted in South-East Asia. Accordingly, our results of operations, financial condition and prospects are subject to a significant degree to economic, political and legal developments in the Asian countries we intend to develop business. Following the closing of our initial public offering, we will derive a significant portion of our revenue and earnings from the operation in Hong Kong, our principal business place, and also in Malaysia, China and other South-East Asian countries. Operating in multiple foreign countries involves substantial risk. For example, our business activities subject us to a number of laws and regulations, such as anti-corruption laws, tax laws, foreign exchange controls and cash repatriation restrictions, data privacy and security requirements, labor laws, intellectual property laws, privacy laws, and anti-competition regulations. As we expand into additional countries, the complexity inherent in complying with these laws and regulations increases, making compliance more difficult and costly and driving up the costs of doing business in foreign jurisdictions. Any failure to comply with foreign laws and regulations could subject us to fines and penalties, make it more difficult or impossible to do business in that country and harm our reputation.

 

We may be exposed to liabilities under the Foreign corrupt practices act, and any determination that we violated the foreign corrupt practices act could have a material adverse effect on our business.

 

We are subject to the Foreign Corrupt Practice Act, or FCPA, and other laws that prohibit improper payments or offers of payments to foreign governments and their officials and political parties by U.S. persons and issuers as defined by the statute for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. We will have operations, agreements with third parties and make sales in South-East Asia, which may experience corruption. Our proposed activities in Asia create the risk of unauthorized payments or offers of payments by one of the employees, consultants, or sales agents of our Company, because these parties are not always subject to our control. It will be our policy to implement safeguards to discourage these practices by our employees. Also, our existing safeguards and any future improvements may prove to be less than effective, and the employees, consultants, or sales agents of our Company may engage in conduct for which we might be held responsible. Violations of the FCPA may result in severe criminal or civil sanctions, and we may be subject to other liabilities, which could negatively affect our business, operating results and financial condition. In addition, the government may seek to hold our Company liable for successor liability FCPA violations committed by companies in which we invest or that we acquire.

 

You may have difficulty enforcing judgments against us.

 

We are a Nevada corporation and most of our assets are and will be located outside of the United States. Almost all of our operations will be conducted in Hong Kong. In addition, our officers and directors are nationals and residents of a country other than the United States. All of their assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for you to effect service of process within the United States upon them. It may also be difficult for you to enforce in U.S. courts judgments on the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws against us and our officer and director, since he is not a resident in the United States. In addition, there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of Hong Kong or other Asian countries would recognize or enforce judgments of U.S. courts.

 

Payment of dividends is subject to restrictions under Nevada and the PRC laws.

 

Under Nevada law, we may only pay dividends subject to our ability to service our debts as they become due and provided that our assets will exceed our liabilities after the dividend. Our ability to pay dividends will therefore depend on our ability to generate sufficient profits. In addition, because of the various rules applicable to our operations in China and the regulations on foreign investments as well as the applicable tax law, we may be subject to further limitations on our ability to declare and pay dividends to our shareholders.

 

We can give no assurance that we will declare dividends of any amounts, at any rate or at all in the future. The declaration of future dividends, if any, will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon our future operations and earnings, capital requirements, general financial conditions, legal and contractual restrictions and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant.

Risks Related to Being a Public Company

 

We have a limited public market for our shares of common stock and you may not be able to resell our shares at or above the price you paid, or at all.

 

There is a limited public market for our common stock in the OTC Market. We cannot assure you that an active public market for our common stock will develop or that the market price of our shares will not decline below the public offering price. The public offering price of our shares may not be indicative of prices that will prevail in the trading market following the offering.

 

Together, our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Lee Chong Kuang, and our Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Loke Che Chan Gilbert, own a large percentage of our outstanding stock and could significantly influence the outcome of our corporate matters.

 

Mr. Lee Chong Kuang, our CEO, beneficially owns 47.91% of our outstanding shares of common stock, and Mr. Loke Che Chan Gilbert, our CFO, beneficially owns 44.76% of our outstanding shares of common stock. As a result, Messrs. Lee and Loke are able to exercise significant influence over all matters that require us to obtain shareholder approval, including the election of directors to our board and approval of significant corporate transactions that we may consider, such as a merger or other sale of our company or its assets. This concentration of ownership in our shares by executive officers will limit the other shareholders’ ability to influence corporate matters and may have the effect of delaying or preventing a third party from acquiring control over us.

 

Future sales of substantial amounts of the shares of common stock by existing shareholders could adversely affect the price of our common stock.

 

If our existing shareholders sell substantial amounts of the shares, the market price of our common stock could fall. Such sales by our existing shareholders might make it more difficult for us to issue new equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and place we deem appropriate.

 

The market price of our shares is likely to be highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to factors such as:

 

  variations in our actual and perceived operating results;
     
  news regarding gains or losses of customers or partners by us or our competitors;
     
  news regarding gains or losses of key personnel by us or our competitors;
     
  announcements of competitive developments, acquisitions or strategic alliances in our industry by us or our competitors;
     
  changes in earnings estimates or buy/sell recommendations by financial analysts;
     
  potential litigation;
     
  general market conditions or other developments affecting us or our industry; and
     
  the operating and stock price performance of other companies, other industries and other events or factors beyond our control.

 

In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are not related to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of the shares

 

23
 

 

In the event that our shares are traded, they may trade under $5.00 per share and thus will be a penny stock. Trading in penny stocks has many restrictions and these restrictions could severely affect the price and liquidity of our shares.

 

In the event that our shares are traded, and our stock trades below $5.00 per share, our stock would be known as a “penny stock”, which is subject to various regulations involving disclosures to be given to you prior to the purchase of any penny stock. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) has adopted regulations which generally define a “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Depending on market fluctuations, our common stock could be considered to be a “penny stock”. A penny stock is subject to rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell these securities to persons other than established Members and accredited investors. For transactions covered by these rules, the broker/dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of these securities. In addition, he must receive the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase. He must also provide certain written disclosures to the purchaser. Consequently, the “penny stock” rules may restrict the ability of broker/dealers to sell our securities, and may negatively affect the ability of holders of shares of our common stock to resell them. These disclosures require you to acknowledge that you understand the risks associated with buying penny stocks and that you can absorb the loss of your entire investment. Penny stocks are low priced securities that do not have a very high trading volume. Consequently, the price of the stock is often volatile and you may not be able to buy or sell the stock when you want to.

 

We do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.

 

We do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Presently, we intend to retain all of our earnings, if any, to finance development and expansion of our business. Consequently, your only opportunity to achieve a positive return on your investment in us will be if the market price of our common stock appreciates.

 

Future issuances of capital stock may depress the trading price of our common stock.

 

Any issuance of shares of our common stock after this offering could dilute the interests of our existing stockholders and could substantially decrease the trading price of our common stock. We may issue additional shares of common stock in the future for a number of reasons, including to finance our operations and business strategy (including in connection with acquisitions, strategic collaborations or other transactions). Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market could depress the market price of our common stock, and impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. We cannot predict the effect that future sales of our common stock or other equity-related securities would have on the market price of our common stock.

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. We provide cross-border business solutions and accounting outsourcing 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 and 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 (1) establishing a business incubator for start-up and high growth companies to support such companies during critical growth periods, which will include education and support services, and (2) searching the investment opportunities in selected start-up and high growth companies, which can generate exponential return to the Company. 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, our common stock has been 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. The board of directors believed that the name change facilitate the Company’s efforts to re-brand itself to develop and enhance its business.

 

Effective July 21, 2015, the Board of Directors of Greenpro approved a change in the Company’s fiscal year end from October 31 to December 31. The change is intended to improve comparability with industry peers.

 

On July 29, 2015, Greenpro acquired its related company, Greenpro Resources Limited, which provides business consulting and advisory services and generates income through the subsidiaries of Greenpro Resources Limited. Greenpro Resources Sdn. Bhd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Greenpro Resources Limited, holds real estate in Malaysia as investment properties and generates rental income from such investments.

 

27
 

 

On July 31, 2015, Greenpro acquired 100% of the shares of A&G International Limited, Falcon Secretaries Limited, Ace Corporate Services Limited andShenzhen Falcon Financial Consulting Limited, and 60% of the shares of Yabez (Hong Kong) Company Limited. The acquisition of these companies broadened the range of our services, including, but not limited to company formation advisory services and company secretarial services.

 

On September 30, 2015, Greenpro acquired its related company, Greenpro Venture Capital Limited, which is an investment holding company and generates income through the subsidiaries of Greenpro Venture Capital Limited. Forward Win International Limited and Chief Billion Limited, the subsidiaries of Greenpro Venture Capital Limited, are engaged in investing and trading real estate in Hong Kong.

 

On October 1, 2015, Greenpro Financial Consulting Limited transferred 51% and 49% shares of Greenpro Capital Village Sdn. Bhd. (Formerly known as Greenpro Global Advisory Sdn. Bhd.) to Greenpro Holding Limited and QSC Asia Sdn Bhd respectively. This subsidiary becomes the new business arm which provides educational and support services.

 

On October 18, 2015, our Board of Directors (the “Board”) appointed Mr. Thanawat Lertwattanarak and Ms. Srirat Chuchottaworn to the Board. We believed that the presence of these new directors would help to develop our business in the Thailand market.

 

On December 30, 2015, A&G International Limited transferred 100% of its shares of Asia UBS Global Limited, a Belize Corporation, and Asia UBS Global Limited, a Hong Kong limited company, to Greenpro Resources Limited due to an internal restructuring. A&G International Limited, a holding company, was transferred to Ms Yap Pei Ling on the same date for consideration of US$1.

 

On March 14, 2016, the Board appointed Mr. Shum Albert, Mr Chin Kiew Kwong and Mr. Hee Chee Keong to the Board as the independent directors of the Company. On March 23, 2016, our Audit Committee was established and is comprised of three independent directors.

 

On December 7, 2016, the Board appointed Mr. How Kok Choong to the Board as independent director of the Company. On March 17, 2017, our Compensation Committee, and Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee were established and are comprised of two independent directors.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of December 31, 2016, we had working capital of $3,541,077 as compared to working capital of $2,911,967 as of December 31, 2015. The increase was due to settlement of amounts due to related parties and directors. We had total current assets of $5,323,480 consisting of cash on hand of $1,021,351 and Inventory – finished property of $3,747,732 compared to total current assets of $5,823,970 as of December 31, 2015. The decrease was due to the repayment of loan from shareholder. We had current liabilities of $1,782,403 consisting of amounts due to related parties of $1,463,386, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $241,789. The Company’s net loss was $222,323 and $383,772 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Company’s comprehensive loss was $193,928 and $299,728 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The decrease in net loss and comprehensive loss were due to a significant increase in revenue from the service income as a result of the acquisitions in 2016.

 

As of December 31, 2016, a related party advanced $1,441,548 to the Company for purchasing the inventory – finished property. This loan carries no interest and probably converts into common stock in the future.

 

As of December 31, 2016, our long-term liabilities consist of bank loans from Standard Chartered Saadiq Berhad, with 300 monthly installments of MYR9,287 (approximately $2,840) each and will mature in May 2038, and from United Overseas Bank (Malaysia) Berhad, with 360 monthly installments of MYR5,382 (approximately $1,645) each and will mature in August 2043. The maturities of the long-term bank loans for each of the five years and thereafter following December 31, 2016 are as follows:

 

28
 

 

Year ending December 31:      
2017   $13,042 
2018    14,085 
2019    14,762 
2020    15,402 
2021    16,212 
Thereafter    493,668 
       
Total   $567,171 

 

Due to the long maturity and relatively small amount for current portion of bank loans, we believe our position does not cause the substantial doubt over going concern.

 

Operating activities

 

Net cash used in operating activities was $502,390 for the year ended December 31, 2016 as compared to net cash used in operating activities of $3,390,397 for the year ended December 31, 2015. The less operating cash was used in 2016 because there is was no purchase of inventory – finished property

 

The cash used in operating activities in 2016 was mainly from the net loss for the year, increase in accounts receivable and decrease in other payable and accrued liabilities. Non-cash expenses totaled $153,385 and $128,083 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, which were primarily composed of depreciation and amortization of $167,204, surrender charge on life insurance of $19,226 and share of loss on investments in unconsolidated entities of $9,007 for the year ended December 31, 2016.

 

The Company has incurred operating losses and used cash in its operating activities for the past two years. Cash was mainly used to acquire the inventory and repay the liabilities in 2015 and 2016 respectively. In fiscal 2015, the Company initiated and executed a plan to acquire several properties as inventory, which the Company paid the purchase price of property, legal fees, improvement costs to the building structure, and other acquisition costs. All properties were finished and ready for sale. In fiscal 2016, the Company suffered an increase in accounts receivable and decrease in other payable and accrued liabilities and deferred revenue, which resulted in negative operating cash flow. The increase in accounts receivable was due to pending receipt of service income, but at least half of the accounts receivable were collected after December 31, 2016. The Company’s management believes it will have an improvement in accounts receivable turnover and accounts payable turnover ratios in fiscal 2017. As such, management believes that the Company will provide sufficient cash flows to fund its operations in the ordinary course of business through at least the next twelve months. However, there can be no assurance that the anticipated sales level will be achieved.

 

Investing activities

 

Net cash used in investing activities was $14,566 and $151,774 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 respectively.

 

The cash used in investing activities were mainly for the purchase of property, plant and equipment of $16,126 in 2016 and $20,846 in 2015.

 

Financing activities

 

Net cash used in financing activities was $46,162 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and net cash provided by financing activities was $4,548,865 for the years ended December 31, 2015, respectively. The cash used in financing activities was mainly resulted from the repayment of loan to shareholders and directors of $787,008 in 2016.

We derived income from rental activities of our commercial properties, the sale of our investment properties and the provision of services. A table further describing our revenue and cost of revenues is set forth below:

Revenues, net

 

Total revenue was $2,776,435 and $2,946,164 for the year ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 respectively. The decrease was primarily due to no revenue received from the sale of properties, an increase in service income of $1,419,140 and an increase in rental income of $48,679.

 

Rental Income

 

Revenue from rental was $100,143 and $51,464 for the year ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 respectively. It was derived principally from leasing properties in Malaysia and Hong Kong. We believe our rental income will be quite stable in the near future.

 

Service Income

 

Revenue from the provision of services was $2,676,292 and $1,257,152 for the year ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. It was derived principally from the provision of business consulting and advisory services and company secretarial, accounting and financial review. We experienced an increase in service income as a result of our integration of clients as a result of our acquisitions and increased focus on high-end services.

 

Sale of properties

 

There was no revenue generated from the sale of properties for the year ended December 31, 2016. Revenue from the sale of properties was $1,637,548 for the year ended December 31, 2015, was derived from the sale of certain commercial properties located in Hong Kong. During the same period ended December 31, 2015, the Company also purchased property located at Tuen Mun, Hong Kong.

 

As opportunities permit, management expects to continue to purchase and sell commercial real estate in the near future. Accordingly, we expect revenue and costs attributable to the sale of properties to fluctuate on a going forward basis.

 

Cost of Revenues

 

Total cost of revenues was $1,046,315 and $1,852,865 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The decrease was primarily attributed to the lack of activity in the real estate business in 2016.

 

The overall gross profit for the Company was $1,730,120 and $1,093,299 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Gross profit as a percentage of total revenues was 62.3% and 37.1% for the same period ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The increase was due to cost savings and no sale of properties with lower profit margin ratios.

 

32
 

 

Cost of rental

 

Cost of revenue on rental was $48,914 and $38,354 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. It includes the costs associated with government rent and rates, repairs and maintenance, property insurance, depreciation and other related administrative costs.

 

Cost of service

 

Costs of revenue on provision of services was $997,401 and 506,306 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. It primarily consists of employee compensation and related payroll benefits, company formation cost and other professional fees. We expect the increase in the cost of service to be aligned with an increase in service income.

 

Cost of properties sold

 

Cost of revenue on properties sold was $1,308,205 for the year ended December 31, 2015. It primarily consisted of the purchase price of property located at Tuen Mun, Hong Kong, legal fees, improvement costs to the building structure, and other acquisition costs.

 

As opportunities permit, management expects to continue to purchase and sell commercial real estate in the near future. Accordingly, we expect revenue and costs attributable to the sale of properties to fluctuate on a going forward basis.

 

Operating Expenses

 

General and administrative expenses

 

General and administrative expenses was $1,869,494 and $1,382,424 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 respectively. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to the increase in directors’ remuneration and housing allowance, salary, office rent, professional and legal fees. We expect our G&A to continue to increase as we integrate our business acquisitions, expand our offices into Thailand and Australia, and deepen our existing businesses.

 

Other Incomes (Expenses)

 

Other incomes were $12,064 and $0 for the year ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 respectively. Other expenses were $76,405 and $52,371 for the year ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 respectively. The increase was primarily due to the interest expense paid to a shareholder for the loan advance and bank loan borrowed by our subsidiary in Malaysia.

 

Attributable to non-controlling interest

 

The Company records income attributable to non-controlling interest in the consolidated statements of operations for any non-owned portion of consolidated subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2016, the Company holds 60% shareholding of Forward Win International Limited and attributed a net income of $2,313 to the non-controlling interest of Forward Win International Limited for the year ended December 31, 2016. As of December 31, 2016, the Company holds 60% shareholding of Yabez (Hong Kong) Company Limited and attributed a net income of $2,688 to the non-controlling interest of Yabez (Hong Kong) Company Limited for the year ended December 31, 2016. As of December 31, 2016, the Company holds 51% shareholding of Greenpro Capital Village Sdn Bhd and attributed a net income of $7,262 to the non-controlling interest of Greenpro Capital Village Sdn Bhd for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Net Loss

 

The net loss was $222,323 and $383,772 for the year ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 respectively. The decrease in net loss is due to the cost control and increase in services income.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or US GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, costs and expenses and related disclosures. We base our estimates on historical experience, as appropriate, and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Changes in the accounting estimates are reasonably likely to occur from period to period. Accordingly, actual results could differ significantly from the estimates made by our management. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, our future financial statement presentation, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows will be affected. We believe that the following critical accounting policies involve a greater degree of judgment and complexity than our other accounting policies. Accordingly, these are the policies we believe are the most critical to understanding and evaluating our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

 

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.

 

34
 

 

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, 2016), 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.

 

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.

 

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 life of ten year. Intangible assets acquired in business combinations are provisionally considered customer lists amortized on a straight-line basis over a useful life 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, 2016 and 2015.

 

35
 

 

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.

 

In assessing the fair value of goodwill, we first make a qualitative assessment of whether it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount before applying the two-step goodwill impairment test. If, after completing our qualitative assessment, we determine that it is more likely than not that the carrying value exceeds estimated fair value, we compare the fair value to our carrying value (including goodwill). If the estimated fair value is greater than the carrying value, we conclude that no impairment exists. If the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying value, a second step is performed in which the implied fair value of goodwill is compared to its carrying value. If the implied fair value of goodwill is less than its carrying value, goodwill must be written down to its implied fair value, resulting in goodwill impairment.

 

The qualitative analysis included assessing the impact of changes in certain factors including: (1) changes in the overall economy, our market share and market interest rates (2) changes in forecasted operating results and a comparison of actual results to projections, (3) changes in the industry or our competitive environment since the acquisition date.

 

Based on our qualitative assessment performed during the fourth quarter of 2016, we concluded that it was more likely than not that the estimated fair values of our reporting units exceeded their carrying values as of December 31, 2016 and, therefore, determined it was not necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test.

 

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.

 

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.

 

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.

 

36
 

 

(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.

 

(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 revenues

 

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.

 

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.

 

37
 

 

Furthermore, significant judgment is required in evaluating our tax positions. In the ordinary course of business, there are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax settlement is uncertain. As a result, we recognize the effect of this uncertainty on our tax attributes based on our estimates of the eventual outcome. These effects are recognized when, despite our belief that our tax return positions are supportable, we believe that it is more likely than not that those positions may not be fully sustained upon review by tax authorities. 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. Such returns are subject to audit by the various foreign taxing authorities, who may disagree with respect to our tax positions. We believe that our consideration is adequate for all open audit years based on our assessment of many factors, including past experience and interpretations of tax law. We review and update our estimates in light of changing facts and circumstances, such as the closing of a tax audit, the lapse of a statute of limitations or a change in estimate. To the extent that the final tax outcome of these matters differs from our expectations, such differences may impact income tax expense in the period in which such determination is made. The eventual impact on our income tax expense depends in part if we still have a valuation allowance recorded against our deferred tax assets in the period that such determination is made.

 

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.

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, 2016, 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) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; (2) ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes; and (3) 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, 2016.

 

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.

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, 2016. 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, 2016, 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 due to turnover. We will create a position to segregate duties consistent with control objectives. 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 plan to test our updated controls and remediate our deficiencies in the year 2017.

 

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 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, 2016, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

 

Mr. Lee Chong Kuang holds the positions of chief executive officer and chairman of the Board of the Company. The Board believes that Mr. Lee’s services as both chief executive officer and chairman of the Board is in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders. Mr. Lee possesses detailed and in-depth knowledge of the issues, opportunities and challenges facing the Company in its business and is thus best positioned to develop agendas that ensure that the Board’s time and attention are focused on the most critical matters relating to the business of the Company. His combined role enables decisive leadership, ensures clear accountability, and enhances the Company’s ability to communicate its message and strategy clearly and consistently to the Company’s shareholders, employees and customers.

 

44
 

 

The Board has not designated a lead director. Given the limited number of directors comprising the Board, the independent directors call and plan their executive sessions collaboratively and, between meetings of the Board, communicate with management and one another directly. Under these circumstances, the directors believe designating a lead director to take on responsibility for functions in which they all currently participate might detract from rather than enhance performance of their responsibilities as directors.

 

Management is responsible for assessing and managing risk, subject to oversight by the Board of Directors. The Board oversees our risk management policies and risk appetite, including operational risks and risks relating to our business strategy and transactions. Various committees of the Board assist the Board in this oversight responsibility in their respective areas of expertise.

 

  The Audit Committee assists the Board with the oversight of our financial reporting, independent auditors and internal controls. It is charged with identifying any flaws in business management and recommending remedies, detecting fraud risks and implementing anti-fraud measures. The audit committee further discusses Greenpro policies with respect to risk assessment and management with respect to financial reporting.
     
  The Compensation Committee oversees compensation, retention, succession and other human resources-related issues and risks.
     
  The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee overviews risks relating to our governance policies and initiatives.

 

Code of Business Conduct and 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. The code addresses, among other things, honesty and ethical conduct, conflicts of interest, compliance with laws, regulations and policies, including disclosure requirements under the federal securities laws, confidentiality, trading on inside information, and reporting of violations of the code. The code of ethics is available on the Company’s website at www.greenprocapital.com and has been incorporated by reference as Exhibit 14.1 to this Annual Report.

 

SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

 

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of our common stock, to file reports regarding ownership of, and transactions in, our securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission and to provide us with copies of those filings. 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 December 31, 2016, except as follows: Mr. How Kok Choong was late in filing his Form 3.

ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

 

The following table sets forth, as of March 27, 2017, certain information concerning the beneficial ownership of our common stock by (i) each stockholder known by us to own beneficially five percent or more of our outstanding common stock or series a common stock; (ii) each director; (iii) each named executive officer; and (iv) all of our executive officers and directors as a group, and their percentage ownership and voting power.

The information presented below regarding beneficial ownership of our voting securities has been presented in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not necessarily indicative of ownership for any other purpose. Under these rules, a person is deemed to be a “beneficial owner” of a security if that person has or shares the power to vote or direct the voting of the security or the power to dispose or direct the disposition of the security. A person is deemed to own beneficially any security as to which such person has the right to acquire sole or shared voting or investment power within sixty (60) days through the conversion or exercise of any convertible security, warrant, option, or other right. More than one (1) person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same securities. The percentage of beneficial ownership by any person as of a particular date is calculated by dividing the number of shares beneficially owned by such person, which includes the number of shares as to which such person has the right to acquire voting or investment power within sixty (60) days, by the sum of the number of shares outstanding as of such date. Consequently, the denominator used for calculating such percentage may be different for each beneficial owner. Except as otherwise indicated below and under applicable community property laws, we believe that the beneficial owners of our common stock listed below have sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares shown.

(2) Based on shares of common stock outstanding as of March 27, 2017, together with securities exercisable or convertible into shares of common stock within 60 days of March 27, 2017.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

 

Related Party Transactions

 

Except as set forth below, we have not been a party to any transaction since January 1, 2016, 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 to 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 board of directors is entitled to vote on the issue.

 

Transactions with certain companies which Greenpro Venture Capital Limited owns certain percentage of their company shares.

 

Related party transaction amounted to $222,493 and $243,916 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, as a result of the payment of business consulting and advisory income.

 

Our related party transactions mainly arise from the companies which Greenpro Venture Capital Limited, our subsidiary, holds equity in them, but without common directors and officers in control among Greenpro and those companies. Those companies are stated in page 11 of this Form 10-K. All of these related party transactions are generally transacted on an arm-length basis at the current market value in the normal course of business.

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 sheets of Greenpro Capital Corp. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, and their related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended. 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 audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company was not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits 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 audits 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, 2016 and 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.

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.

●  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.

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, 2016), 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, 2016, 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, classifiedas cost of rental, for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 were $30,050 and $30,975, 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, classified as operating expenses, for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 were $15,291 and $11,809, 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 life of ten year. Intangible assets acquired in business combinations are provisionally considered customer lists amortized on a straight-line basis over a useful life 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, 2016 and 2015.

 

Amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 were $121,862 and $35,164, 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.

 

In assessing the fair value of goodwill, we first make a qualitative assessment of whether it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount before applying the two-step goodwill impairment test. If, after completing our qualitative assessment, we determine that it is more likely than not that the carrying value exceeds estimated fair value, we compare the fair value to our carrying value (including goodwill). If the estimated fair value is greater than the carrying value, we conclude that no impairment exists. If the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying value, a second step is performed in which the implied fair value of goodwill is compared to its carrying value. If the implied fair value of goodwill is less than its carrying value, goodwill must be written down to its implied fair value, resulting in goodwill impairment.

 

The qualitative analysis included assessing the impact of changes in certain factors including: (1) changes in the overall economy, our market share and market interest rates (2) changes in forecasted operating results and a comparison of actual results to projections, (3) changes in the industry or our competitive environment since the acquisition date.

 

Based on our qualitative assessment performed during the fourth quarter of 2016, we concluded that it was more likely than not that the estimated fair values of our reporting units exceeded their carrying values as of December 31, 2016 and, therefore, determined it was not necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test.

 

●  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, 2016, the Company has recorded $100,143 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 revenues

 

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.

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 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.

 

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.

(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.
