Part I
ITEM 1. | BUSINESS |
General
Our business focuses on development and operation of online dating and mobile gaming products either developed and operated by us, or developed by us but co-operated by third parties; or developed by third parties but co-operated by us.
Our self-developed and self-operated online dating products Little Love (“小恋爱”) and Hotchat (“热聊”) are mobile applications geared towards Chinese singles designed to increase a user’s likelihood of finding a romantic connection. Our mission is to help individuals forge life-long relationships with others that share their interests and values. Through these mobile applications, our users can search for and communicate with other like-minded individuals. Our product creates a virtual community where users can meet, chat and message. We operate location-based social networks for meeting new people on mobile platforms, including on iPhone, Android, iPad and other tablets that facilitate interactions among users and encourage users to connect and chat with each other.
Our online dating mobile platforms monetize through advertising, in-app purchases, and paid subscriptions. The Company offers online marketing capabilities, which enable marketers to display their advertisements in different formats and in different locations. In the near future, we plan to offer sophisticated data science for highly effective hyper-targeting. The Company is actively seeking the opportunities to works with its advertisers to maximize the effectiveness of their campaigns by optimizing advertisement formats and placements. We temporarily suspended our paid advertisements for Little Love to adjust our marketing strategy of Little Love from April 2018. In addition, we relocated from Shenzhen city to Dongguan city during the third quarter of fiscal year ended September 30, 2018. Most of our employees, including 5 full time marketing and supporting personnel, prior to relocation were local residents in Shenzhen city and they elected to resign as a result of our relocation. In July 2018, we hired 2 additional full time marketing and supporting personnel for Little Love on multiple channels, there has been an increase in the subscription of Little Loves since July 2018. Hotchat was much less impacted by the relocation of the Company for the year ended September 30, 2018 as the Company has not devoted much sources in marketing and maintenance of Hotchat other than maintaining its existing distribution channels for Hotchat since 2017.
Our self-developed mobile gaming application is Eternal Tribe (“永恒部落”) which was launched by us in January 2018. For Eternal Tribe, our users can deposit fund on as needed basis for the in-app purchases. In January 2018, we also launched another mobile gaming applications, Bole Jiangmen Card and Board Game (“博乐江门棋牌”) (“Bole”). For Bole, our users pay for each game that they want to play. We suspended Bole in April 2018 based on the market responses and limited platforms to launch Bole due to strict regulatory scrutiny of paid board game in China. Both Eternal Tribe and Bole are Android-based mobile games developed solely by us to diversify our product portfolio. The revenue from the two mobile games was immaterial for the year ended September 30, 2018 as the two games were newly launched. We updated Eternal Tribe based on the collected user experiences and market feedbacks and launched an upgraded version of Eternal Tribe in July 2018. We engaged third party to co-market and co-operate Eternal Tribe on different platforms and channels. We plan to focus our limited resources on Eternal Tribe and other games that we are co-developing or co-operating, or about to develop or operate with other parties.
As China mobile game market continues to grow at rapid pace, our management team believe it is the right time to leverage our expertise in gaming app development to tap into this hot market. While we focus our resource on the development and operation of Eternal Tribe, we have been actively developing co-operation relationship with other developers and operators since March 2018. There are two games that we are currently co-operating with their developers: Magician Hero (“魔纹游戏”) and Shu Mountain Fantasy (“蜀山奇缘”) of which we are responsible for marketing, co-operating and maintenance on the platforms and channels introduced by us. Magician Hero features non-stop-3D real action and battles based on Greek mythology. Shu Mountain Fantasy is a role-playing game of Xian Xia theme based on the period of the fairy magic war, so that users can witness the fall of the fairy tales. The revenue of the co-operations with other developers or operators constitutes less than 5% of our revenue for the year ended September 30, 2018. We expect that, with a combined self and co-operative development and operation, mobile game become the major force in driving the grown of our company in the future. However, we cannot assure that if the market will change or we will successfully develop or operate mobile games that will attract and sustain a large amount of users, if any at all.
As of September 30, 2018, we had approximately 2,300,667 registered members for Little Love, 132,881 registered members for Hotchat, 15,000 registered members for Eternal Tribe.

Recent Development
On March 16, 2018, CX Network Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation, (previously known as “mLight Tech Inc.” or “MLGT”, a Florida corporation) (“CXKJ” or the “Company”), Chuangxiang Holdings Inc., a company organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands (“CX Cayman”), and Continent Investment Management Limited, a British Virgin Islands company (“Continent”), and Golden Fish Capital Investment Limited, a British Virgin Islands company (“Golden Fish”, together with “Continent”, the “CX Cayman Stockholders”) entered into a share exchange agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”), pursuant to which CXKJ acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding equity securities of CX Cayman in exchange for 5,350,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) of CXKJ (the “Share Exchange”). The Share Exchange was closed on March 20, 2018. As a result of the Share Exchange, CX Cayman became the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary.
Immediately prior to entering into the Share Exchange Agreement with CX Cayman and stockholders of CX Cayman, we were a shell company with no significant asset or operation. As a result of the Share Exchange, we operate through our PRC affiliated entity, namely Shenzhen CX (defined herein below), located in Shenzhen, China. CX Cayman does not have any substantive operations other than holding CX HK (defined herein below), which in return holding CX Network (defined herein below), who controls Shenzhen CX through certain contractual arrangements.
On April 20, 2017, CX Network entered into a series of VIE Agreements (defined herein below) with Shenzhen Chuangxiang Network Technology Limited, or Shenzhen CX, and its stockholders, in which CX Network effectively assumed management of the business activities of Shenzhen CX and has the right to appoint all executives and senior management and the members of the board of directors of Shenzhen CX. Shenzhen CX is a Chinese limited liability company and was formed under laws of the People’s Republic of China on August 14, 2015. Shenzhen CX engages in the business of developing and operating membership-based social network, dating and mobile gaming, and interactive live broadcast platforms. The Company is currently devoting its efforts to develop mobile applications and online platforms servicing the Asia market.
For more information of the VIE Agreements, please refer to the “Corporate Structure” section below.
Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement signed on March 20, 2018, CXKJ acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding securities of CX Cayman in exchange for 5,350,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share of CXKJ. As a result of the Share Exchange, the business of CX Cayman becomes our business. As such, the following results of operations are focused on the operations of CX Cayman and exclude the operations of the Company prior to the Share Exchange.
Upon the consummation of the Share Exchange, we engage in the business of developing and operating membership-based social network, dating and mobile gaming, and interactive live broadcast platforms. We are currently devoting our efforts to develop mobile applications and online platforms servicing the Asia market.
Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business are dependent on, among other things, the Company’s ability to operate profitably, to generate cash flows from operations, and to pursue financing arrangements to support its working capital requirements.
In assessing the Company’s liquidity, the Company monitors and analyzes its cash and cash equivalents and its operating and capital expenditure commitments. The Company’s liquidity needs are to meet its working capital requirements, operating expenses and capital expenditure obligations. As of September 30, 2018, the Company’s current liabilities exceeded the current assets, its accumulated deficit was $2,094,690 and the Company has incurred losses since inception. None of the Company’s stockholders, officers or directors, or third parties, are under any obligation to advance us funds, or to invest in us. Accordingly, we may not be able to obtain additional financing. If we are unable to raise additional capital, we may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of our business plan, and reducing overhead expenses. We cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to us on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Corporate Structure
CXKJ is a holding company that owns 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of CX Cayman, which was incorporated on February 4, 2016 under the laws of Cayman Islands. CX Cayman owns 100% of Chuangxiang (Hong Kong) Holdings Limited, or CX HK, since December 1, 2016. CX HK operates through its subsidiary, Chuangxiang Network Technology (Shenzhen) Limited, or CX Network. CX Network was incorporated on April 12, 2016 under the laws of People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) as a wholly foreign owned enterprise and is engaged in the business of mobile applications development, commercial information consulting, cultural activities planning, marketing and advertising.

On April 20, 2017, CX Network entered into a series of VIE Agreements with Shenzhen Chuangxiang Network Technology Limited, or Shenzhen CX, and its stockholders, in which CX Network effectively assumed management of the business activities of Shenzhen CX and has the right to appoint all executives and senior management and the members of the board of directors of Shenzhen CX. Shenzhen CX is a Chinese limited liability company and was formed under laws of the People’s Republic of China on August 14, 2015. Shenzhen CX engages in the business of developing and operating membership-based social network, dating and mobile gaming, and interactive live broadcast platforms.

Our Business
General
Our current primary business is in the online dating industry, which we believe fulfills significant needs for single adults looking to meet a companion. Traditional methods such as printed personals advertisements, offline dating services and public gathering places often do not meet the needs of single people. Printed personals advertisements offer individuals limited personal information and interaction before meeting. Offline dating services are time-consuming, expensive and offer a smaller number of potential partners. Public gathering places such as restaurants, bars and other social venues provide a limited opportunity to learn about others prior to an in-person meeting. In contrast, online personals services facilitate interaction between singles by allowing them to screen and communicate with a large number of potential companions before they meet in-person. With features such as detailed personal profiles, email, mobile chat and instant messaging, this medium allows users to communicate with other singles at their convenience and affords them the ability to meet multiple people in an anonymous, convenient and secure setting.
The online personals industry in China has experienced significant growth in recent years. According to 2017 China’s Online Dating & Matchmaking Report, the revenue of China’s online dating & matchmaking sector reached approximately 500 million USD in 2016, accounting for 36.5% of the total revenue of dating & matchmaking market. It is expected that the proportion will expand to 41.7% by 2019. Members of the millennial generation (individuals under 35 years old) tend to have the highest usage of online or mobile personals sites because of the large gender imbalance caused by one-child policy launched by Chinese government back in 1980. (source: http://www.iresearchchina.com/content/details8_31990.html)
Another focus of our business is mobile gaming. According to the 2017 China Mobile Games Market Report, China is the single most important market in the world for mobile games. There are more than 500 million gamers in China, more than the entire population of the United States, which presents a great opportunity for local and global game developers and publishers. Mobile game revenue is the fastest growing segment and is projected to overtake PC online games in 2018, making up 58% of total games revenue in 2021. There were 503 million mobile gamers in 2016, rising to 699 million in 2021. Domestic market size in 2016 was $8.4 billion, rising to $14.4 billion in 2021. The demand for e-sports and the expansion into new genres suitable for core gamers are two of many drivers in the fast-growth mobile games market. The Top 20 of 400+ Android app stores account for 95% of distribution. Market share of new, expensive phones has fallen dramatically to the demand for quality, low-cost Android phones with mid to high-end specs (source data: http://www.cgigc.com.cn).

Other Products
There are two games that we are currently co-operating with their developers: Magician Hero (魔纹游戏) and Shu Mountain Fantasy (蜀山奇缘). Magician Hero features non-stop-3D real action and battles based on Greek mythology. Shu Mountain Fantasy is a role-playing game of Xian Xia theme based on the period of the fairy magic war, so that users can witness the fall of the fairy tales. We are responsible for introducing the games to third parties’ platform or channels, marketing and promotions, operation and maintenance on those platforms or channels introduced by us.
Sales and Marketing
We engage in a variety of marketing activities intended to drive user traffic to our mobile applications and give us the opportunity to introduce our products and services to prospective users. For our online dating apps, we (i) pay various mobile app channels to broadcast our apps to raise awareness of our products and increase their ranking to attract new users, (ii) engage in self-promoting on social media, (iii) advertise our products via our cooperative public platforms, (iv) organize off-line experience events and activities; and (v) we work with Hong Kong Xinglong Entertainment to engage its celebrity Girls Group 1n1 sisters as our product representative and singing the song “Little Love” for our application. With respect to our mobile gaming application which we launched in January 2018, our marketing strategy focus on seeking well known network and platform providers to broadcast the games, improving the products to raise its ranking in appstores, and display advertising to increase the exposure to attract new users.
Commencing in March 2018, we have been actively engaging co-developers or co-operators either to publish, market, or operate Eternal Tribe and other games that we are developing; or to allow other developers to use our Little Love platform to market and operate their games, or to introduce and operate their games on third parties’ platforms.

Research and Development
We have an in-house R&D team consisting of skilled engineers to develop our apps. For the years ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, research and development expenses amounted to $359,775 and $293,209, respectively. The increase of research and development expenses in the amount of $66,566 or 23% for the year ended September 30, 2018 was primarily attributable to the increased activities in developing new games and applications.
Customer Service
Our call center and email support teams monitor our mobile applications as well as mobile application developed by other companies for fraudulent activity, assist members with billing questions, help members complete personal profiles and answer technical questions. Customer service representatives receive ongoing training in an effort to better personalize the experience for members and paying subscribers who call or email us and to capitalize on upselling opportunities.
Technology
Our internal product teams are focused on the development and maintenance of products in addition to building and managing our software and hardware infrastructure. We intend to continue investing in the development of new products, such as mobile applications, and enhancing the efficiency and functionality of our existing products and infrastructure.
Our network infrastructure and operations are designed to deliver high levels of availability, performance, security and scalability in a cost-effective manner. We operate web and database servers co-located at a third party data center facility in Irvine, California.
Competition
We operate in a highly competitive environment with minimal barriers to entry. We believe the primary competitive factors in creating a community on the Internet are functionality, brand recognition, reputation, critical mass of members, member affinity and loyalty, ease-of-use, quality of service and reliability. We compete with a number of large and small companies, including vertically integrated Internet portals and specialty-focused media companies that provide online and offline products and services to the online dating market we serve. Our principal online dating services competitors include other mobile applications such as Momo, Tantan, Baobao and others. Our principal mobile gaming competitors include other online gaming applications such as Happy Doudizhu, Clash of Clans, Clash Royale, JJ Doudizhu and others. In addition, we face competition from new entrants that have recently offered free and freemium mobile applications such as Feeling.
We believe our ability to compete depends upon many factors both within and beyond our control, including the following:
● | the size and diversity of our member and paying subscriber bases; |
● | the timing and market acceptance of our apps, including the developments and enhancements to those apps and features relative to those offered by our competitors; |
● | customer service and support efforts; |
● | selling and marketing efforts; and |
● | our brand strength in the marketplace relative to our competitors. |

Employment Laws
We are subject to laws and regulations governing our relationship with our employees including: wage and hour requirements, working and safety conditions, and social insurance, housing funds and other welfare. These include local labor laws and regulations, which may require substantial resources for compliance.
China’s National Labor Law, which became effective on January 1, 1995, and China’s National Labor Contract Law, which became effective on January 1, 2008, permit workers in both state and private enterprises in China to bargain collectively. The National Labor Law and the National Labor Contract Law provide for collective contracts to be developed through collaboration between the labor union (or worker representatives in the absence of a union) and management that specify such matters as working conditions, wage scales, and hours of work. The laws also permit workers and employers in all types of enterprises to sign individual contracts, which are to be drawn up in accordance with the collective contract. The National Labor Contract Law has enhanced rights for the nation’s workers, including permitting open-ended labor contracts and severance payments. The legislation requires employers to provide written contracts to their workers, restricts the use of temporary labor and makes it harder for employers to lay off employees. It also requires that employees with fixed-term contracts be entitled to an indefinite-term contract after a fixed-term contract is renewed once or the employee has worked for the employer for a consecutive ten-year period.
Tax
Pursuant to the Provisional Regulation of China on Value Added Tax (“VAT”), their implementing rules and note on the policy regarding simplify VAT rate, all entities and individuals that are engaged in the sale of goods and the provision of value added services in China. The VAT rates are 16%, 10%, and 6% in manufacturing, traditional services and modern services respectively, less any deductible VAT already paid or borne by the taxpayer. We are subject to 6% VAT rate as a company in modern services.
Foreign Currency Exchange
The principal regulations governing foreign currency exchange in China are the Foreign Exchange Administration Regulations promulgated by the State Council, as amended on August 5, 2008, or the Foreign Exchange Regulations. Under the Foreign Exchange Regulations, the Renminbi is freely convertible for current account items, including the distribution of dividends, interest payments, trade and service-related foreign exchange transactions. Conversion of Renminbi for capital account items, such as direct investments, loans, repatriation of investments and investments in securities outside of China, however, is still subject to the approval of the PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or SAFE. Foreign-invested enterprises may only buy, sell and/or remit foreign currencies at those banks authorized to conduct foreign exchange business after providing valid commercial documents and, in the case of capital account item transactions, obtaining approval from the SAFE. Capital investments by foreign-invested enterprises outside of China are also subject to limitations, which include approvals by the Ministry of Commerce, the SAFE and the State Reform and Development Commission.
Dividend Distributions
Under applicable PRC regulations, enterprises in China may pay dividends only out of their accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. In addition, enterprises in China is required to set aside at least 10.0% of its after-tax profit based on PRC accounting standards each year as its statutory general reserves until the accumulative amount of such reserves reach 50.0% of its registered capital. These reserves are not distributable as cash dividends. The board of directors of enterprise has the discretion to allocate a portion of its after-tax profits to staff welfare and bonus funds, which may not be distributed to equity owners except in the event of liquidation.
Government Regulation
Our business is regulated by diverse and evolving laws and governmental authorities in China. We are subject to laws and regulations related to Internet communications, privacy, consumer protection, security and data protection, intellectual property rights, commerce, taxation, entertainment, recruiting and advertising. These laws and regulations are becoming more prevalent, and new laws and regulations are under consideration by the Chinese governments. Any failure by us to comply with existing laws and regulations may subject us to liabilities. New laws and regulations governing such matters could be enacted or amendments may be made to existing regulations at any time that could adversely impact our services. Plus, legal uncertainties surrounding Chinese government regulations could increase our costs of doing business, require us to revise our services, prevent us from delivering our services over the Internet or slow the growth of the Internet, any of which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Regulations Regarding Foreign Investment
Investment activities in the PRC by foreign investors are principally governed by the Guidance Catalogue of Industries for Foreign Investment, or the Catalogue, which was promulgated and is amended from time to time by the Ministry of Commerce and the National Development and Reform Commission. Industries listed in the Catalogue are divided into three categories: encouraged, restricted and prohibited. The restricted and prohibited categories combined are also called the negative list for foreign investment entry and will be subject to special administrative measures. Industries not listed in the Catalogue are generally deemed as constituting a fourth “permitted” category. Establishment of wholly foreign-owned enterprises is generally allowed in encouraged and permitted industries. Some restricted industries are limited to equity or contractual joint ventures, while in some cases Chinese partners are required to hold the majority interests in such joint ventures. Foreign investors are not allowed to invest in industries in the prohibited category. Industries not listed in the Catalogue are generally open to foreign investment unless specifically restricted by other PRC regulations.
Taxation
PRC Enterprise Income Tax
The PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, or EIT Law, and its implementation rules provide that from January 1, 2008, a uniform income tax rate of 25% is applied equally to domestic enterprises as well as foreign investment enterprises.
The EIT Law and its implementation rules provide that a withholding tax at the rate of 10% is applicable to dividends and other distributions payable by a PRC resident enterprise to investors who are “non-resident enterprises” (that do not have an establishment or place of business in the PRC, or that have such establishment or place of business but the relevant dividend or other distribution is not effectively connected with the establishment or place of business). However, pursuant to the Arrangement between the Mainland and Hong Kong Special Administrative Region for the Avoidance of Double Taxation and the Prevention of Fiscal Evasion with respect to Taxes on Income effective on December 8, 2006, the withholding tax rate for dividends paid by a PRC resident enterprise is 5% if the Hong Kong enterprise owns at least 25% of the capital of the PRC enterprise; otherwise, the dividend withholding tax rate is 10%. According to the Notice of the PRC State Administration of Taxation on Issues relating to the Administration of the Dividend Provision in Tax Treaties promulgated on February 20, 2009 and effective on the same day, the corporate recipient of dividends distributed by PRC enterprises must satisfy the direct ownership thresholds at all times during the 12 consecutive months preceding the receipt of the dividends. However, if a company is deemed to be a pass-through entity rather than a qualified owner of benefits, it cannot enjoy the favorable tax treatments provided in the tax arrangement. In addition, if transactions or arrangements are deemed by the relevant tax authorities to be entered into mainly for the purpose of enjoying favorable tax treatments under the tax arrangement, such favorable tax treatments may be subject to adjustment by the relevant tax authorities in the future.
Business Tax and Value-added Tax
Pursuant to the Temporary Regulations on Business Tax, which were promulgated by the State Council on December 13, 1993 and effective on January 1, 1994, as amended on November 10, 2008 and effective January 1, 2009, any entity or individual conducting business in a service industry is generally required to pay business tax at the rate of 5% on the revenues generated from providing such services.
In March 2016, the Ministry of Finance and SAT jointly issued the Pilot Program of Replacing Business Tax with Value-Added Tax (“VAT”) in an All-round Manner, or Circular 36, effective from May 2016, according to which PRC tax authorities have started imposing VAT on revenues from various service sectors, including real estate, construction, financial services and insurance, as well as other lifestyle service sectors, replacing the business tax that co-existed with VAT for over 20 years. The VAT rates applicable to us may be generally higher than the business tax rate we were subject to prior to the implementation of Circular 36. For example, the VAT rate for sale and leasing of self-developed real estate will be increased from 5% (business rate) to 11%. However, VAT rate for leasing of real estate which was owned by general taxpayer before April 30, 2016, will be reduced to 5%. The PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, or EIT Law, and its implementation rules provide that from January 1, 2008, a uniform income tax rate of 25% is applied equally to domestic enterprises as well as foreign investment enterprises.
Regulations Regarding Foreign Exchange
Pursuant to the Foreign Currency Administration Rules, as amended, and various regulations issued by SAFE and other relevant PRC government authorities, RMB is freely convertible to the extent of current account items, such as trade related receipts and payments, interest and dividends. Capital account items, such as direct equity investments, loans and repatriation of investment, unless expressly exempted by laws and regulations, still require prior approval from SAFE or its provincial branch for conversion of RMB into a foreign currency, such as U.S. dollars, and remittance of the foreign currency outside of the PRC. Payments for transactions that take place within the PRC must be made in RMB. Foreign currency revenues received by PRC companies may be repatriated into China or retained outside of China in accordance with requirements and terms specified by SAFE.
10
Regulation Regarding Foreign Exchange Registration of Offshore Investment by PRC
Residents
Circular on Relevant Issues Concerning Foreign Exchange Control on Domestic Residents’ Offshore Investment and Financing and Roundtrip Investment Through Special Purpose Vehicles, or Circular 37, issued by SAFE and effective in July 4, 2014, regulates foreign exchange matters in relation to the use of special purpose vehicles, or SPVs, by PRC residents or entities to seek offshore investment and financing and conduct round trip investment in China.
Circular 37 and other SAFE rules require PRC residents, including both legal and natural persons, to register with the local banks before making capital contribution to any company outside of China (an “offshore SPV”) with onshore or offshore assets and equity interests legally owned by PRC residents. In addition, any PRC individual resident who is the stockholder of an offshore SPV is required to update its registration with the local banks with respect to that offshore SPV in connection with change of basic information of the offshore SPV such as its company name, business term, the shareholding by individual PRC resident, merger, division and with respect to the individual PRC resident in case of any increase or decrease of capital in the offshore SPV, transfer of shares or swap of shares by the individual PRC resident. Failure to comply with the required SAFE registration and updating requirements described above may result in restrictions being imposed on the foreign exchange activities of the PRC subsidiaries of such offshore SPV, including increasing the registered capital of, payment of dividends and other distributions to, and receiving capital injections from the offshore SPV. Failure to comply with Circular 37 may also subject the relevant PRC residents or the PRC subsidiaries of such offshore SPV to penalties under PRC foreign exchange administration regulations for evasion of applicable foreign exchange restrictions.
Regulation Regarding Labor and Social Insurance
Pursuant to the PRC Labor Law and the PRC Labor Contract Law, employers must execute written labor contracts with full-time employees. All employers must comply with local minimum wage standards. Violations of the PRC Labor Contract Law and the PRC Labor Law may result in the imposition of fines and other administrative and criminal liability in the case of serious violations.
In addition, according to the PRC Social Insurance Law and Administration Measures on Housing Fund, employers like our PRC subsidiaries in China must provide employees with welfare schemes covering pension insurance, unemployment insurance, maternity insurance, work-related injury insurance, medical insurance, and housing funds.
Employees
As of September 30, 2018, we have 12 full time employees covered by a collective bargaining agreement. We have not experienced any work stoppages and we consider our relations with our employees to be good.
We actively seek acquisition targets to complement our existing business and the Company plans to hire additional employees as required once we identify and merge with a target company.

Sales under Rule 144 may also subject to manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of current public information about our company. Any substantial sale of Common Stock pursuant to any resale registration statement or Rule 144 may have an adverse effect on the market price of our Common Stock by creating an excessive supply.

ITEM 7. | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
Overview of the Business
Our business focuses on development and operation of online dating and mobile gaming products either developed and operated by us, or developed by us but co-operated by third parties; or developed by third parties but co-operated by us.
Our self-developed and self-operated online dating products Little Love (“小恋爱”) and Hotchat (“热聊”) are mobile applications geared towards Chinese singles designed to increase a user’s likelihood of finding a romantic connection. Our mission is to help individuals forge life-long relationships with others that share their interests and values. Through these mobile applications, our users can search for and communicate with other like-minded individuals. Our product creates a virtual community where users can meet, chat and message. We operate location-based social networks for meeting new people on mobile platforms, including on iPhone, Android, iPad and other tablets that facilitate interactions among users and encourage users to connect and chat with each other.
Our online dating mobile platforms monetize through advertising, in-app purchases, and paid subscriptions. The Company offers online marketing capabilities, which enable marketers to display their advertisements in different formats and in different locations. In the near future, we plan to offer sophisticated data science for highly effective hyper-targeting. The Company is actively seeking the opportunities to works with its advertisers to maximize the effectiveness of their campaigns by optimizing advertisement formats and placements. We temporarily suspended our paid advertisements for Little Love to adjust our marketing strategy of Little Love from April 2018. In addition, we relocated from Shenzhen city to Dongguan city during the third quarter of fiscal year ended September 30, 2018. Most of our employees prior to relocation, including 5 full time marketing and supporting personnel, were local residents in Shenzhen city and they elected to resign as a result of our relocation. In July 2018, we hired 2 additional full time marketing and supporting personnel for Little Love on multiple channels, there has been an increase in the subscription of Little Loves since July 2018. Hotchat was much less impacted by the relocation of the Company for the year ended September 30, 2018 as the Company has not devoted much sources in marketing and maintenance of Hotchat other than maintaining its existing distribution channels for Hotchat since 2017.
Our self-developed mobile gaming application is Eternal Tribe (“永恒部落”) which was launched by us in January 2018. For Eternal Tribe, our users can deposit fund on as needed basis for the in-app purchases. In January 2018, we also launched another mobile gaming applications, Bole Jiangmen Card and Board Game (“博乐江门棋牌”) (“Bole”). For Bole, our users pay for each game that they want to play. Both games are Android-based mobile games developed solely by us to diversify our product portfolio. The revenue from the two mobile games was immaterial for the year ended September 30, 2018 as the two games were newly launched. We updated Eternal Tribe based on the collected user experiences and market feedbacks and launched an upgraded version of Eternal Tribe in July 2018. We also engaged third party to co-market and co-operate Eternal Tribe on different platforms and channels. We were testing the water for the acceptance and popularity of Bole and suspended it in April 2018 based on the market responses and limited platforms to launch Bole due to strict regulatory scrutiny of paid board game in China. We plan to focus our limited resources on Eternal Tribe and other games that we are co-developing or co-operating; or about to develop or operate with other parties.
16
As China mobile game market continues to grow at rapid pace, our management team believe it is the right time to leverage our expertise in gaming app development to tap into this hot market. While we focus our resource on the development and operation of Eternal Tribe, we have been actively developing co-operation relationship with other developers and operators since March 2018. There are two games that we are currently co-operating with their developers: Magician Hero (“魔纹游戏”) and Shu Mountain Fantasy (“蜀山奇缘”) of which we are responsible for marketing, co-operating and maintenance on the platforms and channels introduced by us. Magician Hero features non-stop-3D real action and battles based on Greek mythology. Shu Mountain Fantasy is a role-playing game of Xian Xia theme based on the period of the fairy magic war, so that users can witness the fall of the fairy tales. The revenue of the co-operations with other developers or operators constitutes less than 5% of our revenue for the year ended September 30, 2018. We expect that, with a combined self and co-operative development and operation, mobile game become the major force in driving the grown of our company in the future. However, we cannot assure that if the market will change or we will successfully develop or operate mobile games that will attract and sustain a large amount of users, if any at all.

Upon the consummation of the Share Exchange, we engage in the business of developing and operating membership-based social network, dating and mobile gaming, and interactive live broadcast platforms. We are currently devoting our efforts to develop mobile applications and online platforms servicing the Asia market.
Conversion of Debenture and Issuance
On April 25, 2018, pursuant to a Securities Purchase agreement (the “Debenture Purchase Agreement”) entered into on April 19, 2017, in which the Company agrees to issue and sell in a private placement to a non-U.S. person (the “Purchaser”) a series A convertible debenture in an aggregate principal amount of $150,000 (the “Debenture”) with an 8% annual interest convertible into shares of common stock, par value $.0001 per share (the “Conversion Share(s)”) at price of $0.15 per share to the Purchaser, the Purchaser converted the Debenture with 8% annual interest into 1,080,000 Conversion Shares.
Cure of Over-issuance
In connection with the closing of the Share Exchange closed on March 20, 2018 (“SEA”), the Company over-issued 3,585 shares of Common Stock to Golden Fish, one of the two shareholders of CX Cayman immediately prior to the closing of the SEA. On June 25, 2018, the Company filed amendment to its Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of Nevada to increase its authorized common shares from 20,000,000 to 40,000,000 and issued shares to debt holder subsequently cured the over-issuance of 3,585 shares of Common Stock to Golden Fish. On July 19, 2018, Golden Fish entered into an agreement with the Company to waive any legal claim or indemnification rights it may have under the SEA or as permitted under applicable law in connection with the over-issuance of 3,585 shares of Common from March 20, 2018 until June 25, 2018. On the same day, the Company entered into a waiver agreement with the holder of Debenture pursuant to which the holder agrees to waive any legal claim or indemnification rights it may have under the Debenture Agreement and Debenture or as permitted under applicable law in connection with the insufficiency in reservation of underlying common shares in its then authorized capital from March 20, 2018 until June 25, 2018.

Foreign Operations
Substantially all of our business operations are conducted in Mainland China. Accordingly, our results of operations, financial condition and prospects are subject to a significant degree to economic, political and legal developments in the PRC. We also have operations in Hong Kong. Operating in foreign countries involves substantial risk. For example, our business activities subject us to a number of Chinese 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, which have uncertainties. Any failure to comply with the PRC laws and regulations could subject us to fines and penalties, make it more difficult or impossible to do business in China and harm our reputation.
Operating in foreign countries also subjects us to risk from currency fluctuations. Our primary exposure to movements in foreign currency exchange rates relates to non-U.S. dollar denominated sales and operating expenses. The weakening of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar adversely affects the U.S. dollar value of our foreign currency-denominated sales and earnings. This could either reduce the U.S. dollar value of our prices or, if we raise prices in the local currency, it could reduce the overall demand for our offerings. Either could adversely affect our revenue. Conversely, a rise in the price of local currencies relative to the U.S. dollar could adversely impact our profitability because it would increase our costs denominated in those currencies, thus adversely affecting gross margins.
Historical Activities
Acquisition of Ding King Training Institute, Inc.
On October 31, 2013, MLGT acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of The Ding King Training Institute, Inc. (“Ding King”), an entity controlled by Todd Sudeck (“Sudeck”), our then sole officer and director pursuant to an agreement of exchange and sale of stock dated October 31, 2013. Upon closing of the transactions underlying the exchange agreement, the Company acquired Ding King and Ding King became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
Securities Purchase Agreement Mr. Huibin Su, Mr. Jiyin Li and Chaoran Zhang
On March 31, 2017, Todd Sudeck entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “SPA”) with Mr. Huibin Su, Mr. Jiyin Li, Mr. Chaoran Zhang (each a “Purchaser” and together, the “Purchasers”) and MLGT pursuant to which the Purchasers acquired an aggregate of 12,000,000 shares of Common Stock (the “SPA Shares”) from Todd Sudeck for an aggregate purchase price of $325,000. The transaction contemplated in the SPA closed on the same day (the “SPA Closing”). The SPA Shares represented approximately 87.17% of then issued and outstanding Common Stock of MLGT. In connection with the SPA Closing, Todd Sudeck, resigned from all his positions with the Company as the President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and the sole member of the Board of Directors.
Simultaneously with the SPA Closing, Mr. Huibin Su was appointed as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and a director of the Board, Mr. Jiyin Li was appointed as the Chairman of the Board, and Mr. Zizhong Huang was appointed as the Company’s Chief Operating Officer, all effective immediately upon SPA Closing.
Disposition of our Wholly-owned Subsidiary, Ding King
On March 31, 2017, MLGT entered into a spin-off with Ding King, an entity controlled by Sudeck, our then sole officer and director, and Sudeck (the “Spin-Off Agreement”). Pursuant to the Spin-Off Agreement, Sudeck received all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Ding King in exchange for approximately 166,667 shares of Common Stock of the Company owned by Sudeck. Immediately upon and after the closing of the Spin-Off Agreement, Sudeck became the sole equity owner of Ding King and MLGT no long held any equity interest in Ding King.
Name Change, Domicile Change and Reverse Split
On July 11, 2017, MLGT merged with and into CXKJ (the “Merger”), with CXKJ as the surviving corporation that operates under the name “CX Network Group, Inc.” (the “Name Change”), pursuant to an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”) dated July 3, 2017.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, immediately after the effective time of the Merger, the Company’s corporate existence is governed by the laws of the State of Nevada and the Articles of Incorporation and bylaws of CXKJ (the “Domicile Change”), and each outstanding share of MLGT’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share was converted into 0.0667 outstanding share of common stock of CXKJ, par value $0.0001 per share at a one-for-fifteen reverse split ratio.
The Name Change, Merger and Reverse Split was approved by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) on July 11, 2017 and such corporation actions took effect at the open of business on July 12, 2017. Immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Reverse Split, we had 217,300,000 shares of common stock of MLGT issued and outstanding. Immediately upon the effectiveness of the reverse stock split, we have 14,486,670 shares of Common Stock of CXKJ issued and outstanding.
18
On August 11, 2017, the Company was notified by FINRA Department of Market Operations (the “Department”) that they did not process the Reverse Split because they believed that the documentation provided by the Company did not support the Company’s request to process a reverse split. In the same letter, the Department notified the Company that they processed the Company’s request of the Merger, the mechanism the Company used to consummate the corporate actions mentioned above. Also in that letter, the Department mentioned that it announced the Reverse Split on July 11, 2017 but subsequently revised the announcement on July 28, 2017. On August 14, 2017, the Company received a notice from the Department that they did not process the symbol change because “there is currently no symbol assigned to the Company.”
On August 16, 2017, the Company appealed the decisions made by the Department as mentioned herein above in connection with Reverse Stock Split, Name Change and Domicile Change (for more information about the corporate actions, refer to the current report on Form 8-K the Company filed on July 12, 2017). On October 3, 2017, a Subcommittee of FINRA’s Uniform Practice Code Committee decided to remand the case to the Department for further review. Subsequently, the Department granted the Company’s application for a symbol change. On November 3, 2017, the trading symbol for the Company was changed to “CXKJ”, effective immediately. The new CUSIP number is 12672T 108.

Revenues
For the year ended September 30, 2018, we had total revenues of $505,080 as compared to $174,456 for the year ended September 30, 2017. The revenues during fiscal year 2018 were mainly generated through in-app purchases in our mobile applications Hot Chat and Little Love, and our mobile game applications Eternal Tribe and Bole. The increase of $330,624, or 190%, during the year ended September 30, 2018 was primarily attributable to the significantly increased subscription of Little Love and Eternal Tribe, and in-app purchases comparing to the comparative period in 2017 despite the decreased of paid subscribers of Little Love since the third quarter of fiscal year ended September 30, 2018 due to the reduced operation result from office relocation.
Cost of Revenues
For the years ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, cost of revenues amounted to $72,590 and $30,990, respectively. The increase of cost of revenues in the year ended September 30, 2018 compared to the year ended September 30, 2017 was primarily attributable to the increase of labor cost and professional expenses associated with maintenance of mobile platform.
Gross Profit
For the years ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, gross profit amounted to $432,490 and $143,466, respectively. The increase of gross profit during the year ended September 30, 2018 compared to the year of 2017 was primarily attributable to the increase in the revenues.
19
Selling Expenses
For the years ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, selling expenses amounted to $80,040 and $20,402, respectively. The increase of selling expenses in the amount of $59,638 or 292% was primarily attributable to increase in promotion and marketing expense.
General and Administrative Expenses
For the years ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, general and administrative expenses amounted to $626,826 and $428,220, respectively. The increase of general and administrative expenses in the amount of $198,606 or 46% was primarily attributable to the increase of salary expense, professional fees, lease expense, and the start-up cost of Guangzhou and Dongguan branches of Shenzhen CX.
Research and Development Expenses
For the years ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, research and development expenses amounted to $359,775 and $293,209, respectively. The increase of research and development expenses in the amount of $66,566 or 23% during the year ended September 30, 2018 was primarily attributable to the increased activities in developing new games and applications.
Other Income (Expenses)
For the year ended September 30, 2018, total other income (expense) was $85,785 as compared to $(147,176) for the year ended September 30, 2017. The increase in other income is primarily attributable to the RMB 1,000,000 (approximately $150,000) forfeited deposit by Guangzhou Investment Co. (defined herein below) under the Cooperative Agreement (defined herein below), partially offset by amortization of convertible debt discount around $13,000, and loss on disposal of property and equipment and loss on rent deposit totally around $56,000.
In July 2017, Shenzhen CX signed an investment cooperative agreement (the “Cooperative Agreement”) with an investment management company in Guangzhou, China (the “Guangzhou Investment Co.”). Pursuant to the Cooperative Agreement, the Guangzhou Investment Co. obtained the right to form a private equity fund for the purposes of raising RMB 40,000,000 (approximately $6,011,000) to invest in Shenzhen CX and obtain 12.12% of the ownership of Shenzhen CX. Guangzhou Investment Co. paid Shenzhen CX RMB 1,000,000 (approximately $150,000) as a deposit under the Cooperative Agreement and the deposit would be forfeited if Guangzhou Investment Co. was not able to successfully raise the required amount stated in the agreement. As of September 30, 2017, the deposit received was included in accrued liabilities and other payable in the consolidated balance sheets. The Cooperative Agreement expired on January 7, 2018 and the Guangzhou Investment Co. did not raise the fund for Shenzhen CX as required in the Cooperative Agreement. As a result, the deposit was forfeited and included in other income in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018.
Net loss
For the years ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, net loss amounted to $548,366 and $745,541, respectively. The decrease of net loss in the amounts of $197,175 or 26% for the year ended September 30, 2018 was a result of the factors described above.
Foreign Currency Translation Adjustment
The reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. Dollar. The functional currency of Shenzhen CX and CX Network operating in the PRC is the Chinese Yuan or Renminbi (“RMB”). The financial statements of entities in PRC are translated to U.S. dollars using period end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, historical rates of exchange for equity, and average rates of exchange during the period for results of operations. Net gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange transactions are included in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
As a result of these translations, which are a non-cash adjustment, we reported a foreign currency translation loss of $11,486 for the year ended September 30, 2018 as compared to a foreign currency translation loss of $17,260 for the year ended September 30, 2017. This non-cash loss had an effect of decreasing our reported comprehensive loss.
Comprehensive Loss
For the year ended September 30, 2018, comprehensive loss of $559,852 is derived from our net loss of $548,366. For the year ended September 30, 2017, comprehensive loss of $762,801 is derived from our net loss of $745,541.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
In assessing the Company’s liquidity, the Company monitors and analyzes its cash and cash equivalents and its operating and capital expenditure commitments. The Company’s liquidity needs are to meet its working capital requirements, operating expenses and capital expenditure obligations. As of September 30, 2018, the Company’s working capital deficit was approximately $477,000 as compared to working capital deficit of approximately $933,000 as of September 30, 2017. As of September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, the Company’s accumulated deficit was approximately $2,095,000 and $1,546,000, respectively, and the Company has incurred losses since inception. None of the Company’s stockholders, officers or directors, or third parties, are under any obligation to advance the Company funds, or to invest in it. Accordingly, the Company may not be able to obtain additional financing. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, the Company may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of its business plan, and reducing overhead expenses. The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to us on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.
20
Cash flows from the Company’s operations are calculated based upon the local currencies using the average translation rate. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheets.
The following summarizes the key components of the Company’s cash flows for years ended September 30, 2018 and 2017:
Years Ended September 30, | ||||||||
2018 | 2017 | |||||||
Net cash used in operating activities | $ | (657,067 | ) | $ | (571,636 | ) | ||
Cash flows used in investing activities | $ | (8,303 | ) | $ | (101,305 | ) | ||
Cash flows provided by financing activities | $ | 651,824 | $ | 687,293 | ||||
Effect of exchange rate on cash and cash equivalent | $ | 31 | $ | 38 | ||||
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents | $ | (13,515 | ) | $ | 14,390 |
Net cash used in operating activities for the year ended September 30, 2018 was $657,067 as compared to net cash used in operating activities of $571,636 for the year ended September 30, 2017. The increase in cash used in operating activities for the year ended September 30, 2018 was mainly due to the decrease in accrued liabilities and other payable, partially offset by the decrease of net loss.
Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended September 30, 2018 was $8,303 as compared to $101,305 for the year ended September 30, 2017. The decreased in cash used in investing activities for the year ended September 30, 2018 was mainly due to the decrease of the purchase of fixed assets.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended September 30, 2018 was $651,824 as compared to $687,293 for the year ended September 30, 2017. The decrease in cash provided by financing activities for the year ended September 30, 2018 was mainly due to the decrease of proceeds from related party and short-term loan, partially offset by the proceeds from private placement.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Going Concern
In assessing the Company’s liquidity, the Company monitors and analyzes its cash and cash equivalents and its operating and capital expenditure commitments. The Company’s liquidity needs are to meet its working capital requirements, operating expenses and capital expenditure obligations. As of September 30, 2018, the Company’s current liabilities exceeded the current assets, its accumulated deficit was approximately $2,095,000 and the Company has incurred losses since inception. None of the Company’s stockholders, officers or directors, or third parties, are under any obligation to advance us funds, or to invest in us. Accordingly, we may not be able to obtain additional financing. If we are unable to raise additional capital, we may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of our business plan, and reducing overhead expenses. In the coming years, the Company plans to develop business in oversea markets to increase its revenues to meet its future cash flow requirements. However, the Company cannot provide any assurance on the successful development of the Company’s contemplated plan of operations or the financing that will be available to us on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
21
Net loss per common share
The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. At September 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into common stock and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted loss per common share is the same as basic loss per common share for the periods presented.
Fair value of financial instruments
The Company follows the provisions of ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.” ASC 820 clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date.
Level 2-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3-Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available information.
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash, accounts receivable, other receivable, prepaid expenses, accrued liabilities and other payable, and short-term loans approximate their fair market value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments.
Management believes it is not practical to estimate the fair value of due to related party because the transactions cannot be assumed to have been consummated at arm’s length, the terms are not deemed to be market terms, there are no quoted values available for these instruments, and an independent valuation would not be practical due to the lack of data regarding similar instruments, if any, and the associated potential costs.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company’s operations are substantially carried out in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations maybe substantially influenced by the political, economic and legal environments in the PRC, and by the general state of the PRC’s economy. The Company’s operations in the PRC are subject to specific 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 environments and foreign currency exchange. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and trade accounts receivable. Substantially all of the Company’s cash is maintained with state-owned banks within the PRC, and no deposits are covered by insurance. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any risks on its cash in bank accounts.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and highly liquid investments, which are unrestricted from withdrawal or use, or which have original maturities of three months or less when purchased.
Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable primarily represents the cash due from customers, third-party application stores and other payment channels, net of allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company makes estimates for the allowance for doubtful accounts based upon its assessment of various factors, including the age of accounts receivable balances, credit quality of third-party application stores and other payment channels, current economic conditions and other factors that may affect their ability to pay. An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded in the period in which a loss is determined to be probable. At September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, the Company has determined the risk of uncollected receivable is remote.
22
Property and equipment, net
Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Significant additions or improvements extending useful lives of assets are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation and amortization are computed based on cost, less their estimated residual value, if any, using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives as follows:
Electronic equipment | 3 years |
Furniture and fixtures | 3 years |
Leasehold improvement | Shorter of the lease term or their economic lives |
Impairment of long-lived assets
Long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be fully recoverable. It is possible that these assets could become impaired as a result of technology, economy or other industry changes. If circumstances require a long-lived asset or asset group to be tested for possible impairment, the Company first compares undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by that asset or asset group to its carrying value. If the carrying value of the long-lived asset or asset group is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, an impairment is recognized to the extent that the carrying value exceeds its fair value. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow models, relief from royalty income approach, quoted market values and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary.
The Company makes various assumptions and estimates regarding estimated future cash flows and other factors in determining the fair values of the respective assets. The assumptions and estimates used to determine future values and remaining useful lives of long-lived assets are complex and subjective. They can be affected by various factors, including external factors such as industry and economic trends, and internal factors such as the Company’s business strategy and its forecasts for specific market expansion. The Company did not record any impairment charges for the years ended September 30, 2018 and 2017.
Income taxes
The Company utilizes ASC Topic 740 (“ASC 740”) “Income taxes”, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the consolidated financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
ASC 740 “Income taxes” clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. This interpretation requires that an entity recognizes in the financial statements the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained upon examination, based on the technical merits of the position. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. The Company has elected to classify interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, if and when required, as part of income tax expense in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company evaluate the level of authority for each uncertain tax position (including the potential application of interest and penalties) based on the technical merits, and measure the unrecognized benefits associated with the tax positions. As of September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, the Company did not have any unrecognized tax benefits.
Revenue recognition
The Company currently recognizes revenue from users in the form of membership subscription and à la carte online credit purchases. Membership subscription is a service package which enables members to enjoy additional functions and privileges. Members pay in advance, primarily by using a debit card or through mobile app stores, and, subject to certain conditions identified in the Company’s terms and conditions, all purchases are final and nonrefundable. Fees collected, in advance for memberships subscription are deferred and recognized as revenue using the straight-line method over the terms of the applicable membership period, which primarily range from one to three months. Membership subscription revenue is insignificant for the year ended September 30, 2018 and the year ended September 30, 2017. À la carte online credit purchases are non-refundable and the risk passes to users when users pay for à la carte features. Revenue from the purchase of à la carte features is recognized upon users paying for the purchase. In the year ended September 30, 2018, the Company also generated revenue from development and sales of applications, and co-operating games with other companies by providing background maintenance services. Revenue from development and sales of applications is recognized when the application is delivered to and accepted by customers, and revenue from co-operation of game is recognized usually on monthly basis.
Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; the price is fixed or determinable; and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue was recorded on a gross basis, net of surcharges and value added tax (“VAT”) of gross sales. The Company recorded revenue on a gross basis because the Company has the following indicators for gross reporting: is the primary obligor of the sales arrangements, has latitude in establishing prices, has discretion in suppliers’ selection and assumes credit risks on receivables from customers.
23
Cost of revenues
Cost of revenues primarily includes bandwidth costs, professional expenses associated with maintenance of mobile platform, and labor costs.
Foreign currency translation
The reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of CX Network and Shenzhen CX is the local currency, the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”) as PRC is the primary economic environment in which they operate. The functional currency of CX HK is Hong Kong Dollar (the “HKD”). The Company’s subsidiaries or VIE with functional currency of RMB translate their operating results and financial positions into the U.S. dollar, the Company’s reporting currency. Results of operations and cash flows are translated at average exchange rates during the period, assets and liabilities are translated at the unified exchange rate at the end of the period, and equity is translated at historical exchange rates. Translation adjustments resulting from the process of translating the local currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in other comprehensive income in the statement of stockholders’ equity. The Company does not enter any material transaction in foreign currencies and accordingly, transaction gains or losses have not had, and are not expected to have, a material effect on the results of operations of the Company.
Accumulated other comprehensive loss
Comprehensive loss is comprised of net loss and all changes to the statements of stockholders’ equity, except those due to investments by stockholders, changes in paid-in capital and distributions to stockholders. For the Company, comprehensive loss for the year ended September 30, 2018 and the year ended September 30, 2017 included net loss and unrealized loss from foreign currency translation adjustments.
Research and development expenses
Research and development expenses include salaries and benefits for research and development personnel, depreciation expenses associated with the research and development activities, and other related expenses associated with product development. The Company’s research and development activities primarily consist of the research and development of new features for its mobile platform and its self-developed mobile games. The Company has expensed all research and development expenses when incurred.
Related parties
Parties are considered to be related to the Company if the parties that, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, control, are controlled by, or are under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.
Operating leases
The Company has adopted FASB Accounting Standard Codification, or ASC 840. If the lease terms meet one or all of the following four criteria, it will be classified as a capital lease, otherwise, it is an operating lease: (1) The lease transfers the title to the lessee at the end of the term; (2) the lease contains a bargain purchase option; (3) the lease term is equal to 75% of the estimated economic life of the leased property or more; (4) the present value of the minimum lease payment in the term equals or exceeds 90% of the fair value of the leased property.
Payments made under operating leases are charged to the consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the lease period.
24
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
As of September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, there are no off-balance sheet arrangements between us and any other entity that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to our investors.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 2 of our Financial Statements included in this report for discussion of recent accounting pronouncements.
ITEM 7A. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
The Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item because the Company is a smaller reporting company.
ITEM 8. | FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA |
The consolidated financial statements are included in Part III, Item 15 (a) (1) and (2) of this Report.
ITEM 9. | CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE |
On March 20, 2018, our board of directors dismissed HASKELL & WHITE LLP (“H&W”) as our independent auditors and engaged MaloneBailey, LLP, an Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (“MaloneBailey”), to serve as our independent auditors.
H&W’s report dated December 20, 2017 on our audited financial statements for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion nor was it qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except for a “going concern” uncertainty.
During our two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period through the date H&W was dismissed, there were no disagreements between us and H&W on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to H&W’s satisfaction, would have caused H&W to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports.
During our two most recent fiscal years and through the subsequent interim period through the date H&W was dismissed, H&W did not advise us as to any reportable events as set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(v)(A) through (D) of Regulation S-K (“Item 304”). Furthermore, during our two most recent fiscal years, and the subsequent interim period prior to engaging MaloneBailey, we (nor anyone on our behalf) did not consult MaloneBailey regarding either the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed; or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements, and neither a written report was provided to us nor oral advice was provided that MaloneBailey concluded was an important factor considered by us in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in paragraph (a)(1)(iv) of Item 304 and the related instructions to this item) or a reportable event (as described in paragraph (a)(1)(v) of Item 304).
On March 20, 2018, we acquired all of the capital stock of CX Cayman and assumed the operations of CX Cayman and its wholly owned PRC subsidiary, CX Network, pursuant to a Share Exchange. Prior to the Share Exchange, MaloneBailey was the independent accountants for CX Cayman and CX Network. Our board of directors determined that because our financial statements are tantamount to the financial statements of CX Cayman and CX Network, for reasons of continuity, MaloneBailey should be appointed as our independent registered public accounting firm.
During our two most recent fiscal years and through the subsequent interim period through the date H&W was dismissed, we have not consulted with MaloneBailey regarding the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or any of the matters or reportable events set forth in Item 304(a)(2)(ii)(A) through (D) of Regulation S-K. In addition, prior to the Share Exchange, neither CX Cayman, nor any of its subsidiaries including its affiliated entity Shenzhen CX, consulted with H&W as to any accounting or auditing matter.
We provided H&W with a copy of the disclosures/statements we made in response to Item 304(a). We requested and received from H&W a letter, dated March 23, 2018, addressed to the SEC stating that it agree with such statements. A copy of the letter is attached as Exhibit 16.1 to the current report on Form 8-K dated March 23, 2018.
25
ITEM 9A. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Based on his evaluation as of the end of the year ended September 30, 2018, our chief executive officer, who served as both our chief financial officer and principal accounting manager, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective such that the information relating to our company, required to be disclosed in our Securities and Exchange Commission reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure as a result of the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting due to the existence of the following material weaknesses:
● | A lack of sufficient and adequately trained internal accounting and finance personnel with appropriated understanding of U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting requirement and sufficient methods to promptly identify and discover the failure by its previous transfer agent to follow the Company’s instruction to deposit issued treasury shares and reserve shares underlying the Debenture and related financial impact of such failure; | |
● | A lack of segregation of duties within significant accounts. | |
● | A lack of a functioning audit committee and a majority of outside directors on the Company’s board of director. |
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
As of September 30, 2018, management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in the 2013 updated Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) and SEC guidance on conducting such assessments. Based on that evaluation, management concluded that, during the period covered by this report, such internal controls and procedures were not effective to detect the inappropriate application of US GAAP rules as more fully described below. This was due to deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal controls over financial reporting that adversely affected our internal controls and that are considered to be material weaknesses as described herein above. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Notwithstanding the existence of these material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, our management believes that the financial statements included in its reports fairly present in all material respects the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. We continue to evaluate the effectiveness of internal controls and procedures on an on-going basis. Certain material weakness listed above was partially due to our recent relocation from Shenzhen city to Dongguan city. Most of our employees prior to relocation were local residents in Shenzhen city and they elected to resign as a result of our relocation, including several accounting personnel. We are currently hiring additional personnel in financial reporting and accounting, and we are providing trainings to newly hired personnel. In addition, once our cash position improves, we plan to hire an experienced controller and work to build an internal accounting team with sufficient in-house expertise in US GAAP reporting. However, due to the limited cash flow we are currently having, we cannot assure you when we will be able to implement those remediation methods.
Because we are a smaller reporting company, this annual report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fourth fiscal quarter of the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018 covered by this report that has materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting other than the facts disclosed above.

Corporate Governance
Code of Ethics
We do not have a code of ethics that applies to our officers, employees and directors.
Corporate Governance
The business and affairs of the company are managed under the direction of our board. Each stockholder will be given specific information on how he/she can direct communications to the officers and directors of the corporation at our annual stockholders meetings. All communications from stockholders are relayed to the members of the board of directors.
Role in Risk Oversight
Our board of directors is primarily responsible for overseeing our risk management processes. The board of directors receives and reviews periodic reports from management, auditors, legal counsel, and others, as considered appropriate regarding our company’s assessment of risks. The board of directors focuses on the most significant risks facing our company and our company’s general risk management strategy, and also ensures that risks undertaken by our company are consistent with the board’s appetite for risk. While the board oversees our company’s risk management, management is responsible for day-to-day risk management processes. We believe this division of responsibilities is the most effective approach for addressing the risks facing our company and that our board leadership structure supports this approach.
Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight
Our Board is primarily responsible for overseeing our risk management processes.

The Board focuses on the most significant risks facing our company and our company’s general risk management strategy, and also ensures that risks undertaken by our company are consistent with the Board’s appetite for risk. While the Board oversees our company’s risk management, management is responsible for day-to-day risk management processes. We believe this division of responsibilities is the most effective approach for addressing the risks facing our company and that our Board leadership structure supports this approach.
Our Board oversees, among other things, the company’s policies, guidelines and related practices regarding risk assessment and risk management, including the risk of fraud. As part of this endeavor, the Board reviews and assesses the Company’s major financial, legal, regulatory, environmental and similar risk exposures and the steps that management has taken to monitor and control such exposures. The Board also reviews and assesses the quality and integrity of the Company’s public reporting, the company’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, the performance and independence of the Company’s independent auditors, the performance of the Company’s internal audit department, the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, and the adequacy and effectiveness of the company’s risk management policies and related practices.
28
Committees of the Board of Directors
All proceedings of our board of directors were conducted by resolutions consented to in writing by all the directors and filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the directors. Such resolutions consented to in writing by the directors entitled to vote on that resolution at a meeting of the directors are, according to the corporate laws of the state of Nevada and the bylaws of our Company, as valid and effective as if they had been passed at a meeting of the directors duly called and held.
Our Company currently does not have nominating, compensation committees or committees performing similar functions nor does our company have a written nominating, compensation or audit committee charter. Our board of directors does not believe that it is necessary to have such committees because it believes that the functions of such committees can be adequately performed by our directors.
Our Company does not have any defined policy or procedure requirements for stockholders to submit recommendations or nominations for directors. The directors believe that, given the early stage of our development, a specific nominating policy would be premature and of little assistance until our business operations develop to a more advanced level. Our company does not currently have any specific or minimum criteria for the election of nominees to the board of directors and we do not have any specific process or procedure for evaluating such nominees. Our directors assess all candidates, whether submitted by management or stockholders, and make recommendations for election or appointment.
A stockholder who wishes to communicate with our board of directors may do so by directing a written request addressed to our president, at the address appearing on the first page of this Registration Statement.
We do not have a standing audit committee of the Board of Directors. We do not have a financial expert serving on the Board of Directors or employed as an officer based on management’s belief that the cost of obtaining the services of a person who meets the criteria for a financial expert under Item 407(d) of Regulation S-K is beyond its limited financial resources and due to the limited scope and simplicity of accounting issues raised in our financial statements at this stage of our development. Since the Share Exchange, we have been reassessing the necessity to hire a financial expert to address the ineffective internal controls and procedures for financial reporting.
Director Independence
Presently, we are not currently listed on a national securities exchange or in an inter-dealer quotation system and therefore are not required to comply with the director independence requirements of any securities exchange.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
CX Network Group, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of CX Network Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) as of September 30, 2018 and 2017, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2018 and 2017, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going Concern Matter
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2018 and 2017
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND GOING CONCERN
ORGANIZATION
The Company was incorporated in the State of Florida on September 3, 2010 under the name of “mLight Tech, Inc.” (“MLGT”). On July 11, 2017, MLGT merged with and into CX Network Group, Inc. (“CXKJ”), a Nevada corporation, with CXKJ as the surviving corporation that operates under the name “CX Network Group, Inc.” (the “Name Change”), pursuant to an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”) dated July 3, 2017.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, immediately after the effective time of the Merger, the Company’s corporate existence is governed by the laws of the State of Nevada and the Articles of Incorporation and bylaws of CXKJ (the “Domicile Change”), and each outstanding share of MLGT’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share was converted into 0.0667 outstanding share of common stock of CXKJ, par value $0.0001 per share at a one-for-fifteen reverse split ratio (the “Reverse Stock Split”) which resulted in reclassification of capital from par value to capital in excess of par value. Immediately prior to the effectiveness of the reverse stock split, we had 217,300,000 shares of common stock of MLGT issued and outstanding. Immediately upon the effectiveness of the reverse stock split, we had 14,486,670 shares of common stock of CXKJ issued and outstanding.
The Name Change, Domicile Change, and Reverse Stock Split went effective on June 12, 2017. Subsequently, the Company’s trading symbol for its common stock was changed to “CXKJ”.
On March 20, 2018, CXKJ entered into a share exchange agreement (the “Share Exchange”) with Chuangxiang Holdings Inc. (“CX Cayman”). Under the Share Exchange, CX Network Group, Inc. issued an aggregate of 5,350,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share to the shareholders of CX Cayman in exchange for 100% of the issued and outstanding equity securities of CX Cayman. The Share Exchange was closed on March 20, 2018. As a result of the Share Exchange, CX Cayman became the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary.
CX Cayman was incorporated on February 4, 2016 under the laws of Cayman Islands.
Chuangxiang (Hong Kong) Holdings Limited (“CX HK”) was incorporated on February 23, 2016 and became CX Cayman’s wholly owned subsidiary on December 1, 2016. CX HK operates through its subsidiary, Shenzhen Chuangxiang Network Technology (Shenzhen) Limited (“CX Network”). CX Network was incorporated by CX HK on April 12, 2016 under the laws of People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) as a wholly foreign owned enterprise.
Shenzhen Chuangxiang Network Technology Limited (“Shenzhen CX”) is a limited liability company formed under the laws of PRC on August 14, 2015. Shenzhen CX became a variable interest entity (“VIE”) of CX Network through a series of contractual arrangements entered into on April 20, 2017. CX Network controls Shenzhen CX through agreements and arrangements that absorbs operating risk, as if Shenzhen CX is a wholly owned subsidiary of CX Network. Shenzhen CX is engaged in the business of developing and operating membership-based social network, dating and mobile gaming, and interactive live broadcast platforms.
The transaction has been treated as a recapitalization of CX Cayman and its subsidiaries, with CXKJ (the legal acquirer of CX Cayman and its subsidiaries) considered the accounting acquiree, and CX Cayman (the legal acquiree) considered the accounting acquirer. Accordingly, CX Cayman’s assets, liabilities and results of operations will become the historical financial statements of the registrant, and CXKJ’s assets, liabilities and results of operations will be consolidated with CX Cayman effective as of the date of the closing of the Share Exchange (March 20, 2018). The Company did not recognize goodwill or any intangible assets in connection with the transaction. All costs related to the transaction are being charged to operations as incurred. CX Cayman received cash of $145 and assumed $249,966 liabilities upon execution of the Share Exchange. The 5,350,000 shares of common stock issued in conjunction with the Share Exchange have been presented as outstanding for all periods.

Risks in relation to the VIE structure
If CX Cayman’s ownership structure and contractual arrangements are found to be in violation of any PRC laws or regulations, or if CX Cayman is found to be required but failed to obtain any of the permits or approvals for its mobile apps development business, the relevant PRC regulatory authorities, including the Cyberspace Administration of China or the CAC, which regulates the mobile app service industry in China, Ministry of Commerce of PRC, or the MOFCOM, which regulates the foreign investment in China would have broad discretion in imposing fines or punishments upon us for such violations, including:
● | revoking the business and operating licenses of Shenzhen CX; |
● | discontinuing or restricting any related-party transactions between Shenzhen CX and our affiliated entities; |
F-9
● | imposing fines and penalties, or imposing additional requirements for our operations which we, Shenzhen CX or our affiliated entities may not be able to comply with; |
● | revoking the preferential tax treatment available to us; |
● | requiring us to restructure the ownership and control structure; or |
● | restricting or prohibiting our use of the proceeds of this offering to finance our business and operations in China, particularly the expansion of our business through strategic acquisitions. |
As of the date of this report, similar ownership structure and contractual arrangements have been used by many China-based companies listed overseas, including a number of internet companies listed in the United States. To our knowledge, none of the fines or punishments listed above has been imposed on any of these public companies. However, we cannot assure you that such fines or punishments will not be imposed on us or any other companies in the future. If any of the above fines or punishments is imposed on us, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
As of September 30, 2018 and 2017, the carrying amount and classification of the assets and liabilities in CX Cayman’s balance sheets that relate to CX Cayman’s VIE is as follows:
September 30, 2018 | September 30, 2017 | |||||||
ASSETS | ||||||||
Cash | $ | 1,720 | $ | 20,500 | ||||

As used in this report, unless otherwise indicated, the terms “we” and “us” refer to CX Network Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation (previously known as “mLight Tech, Inc.”, a Florida corporation,), its wholly owned subsidiaries CX Cayman, Chuangxiang (Hong Kong) Holdings Limited (“CX HK”), Chuangxiang Network Technology (Shenzhen) Limited (“CX Network”) and Shenzhen Chuangxiang Network Technology Limited (“Shenzhen CX”), which is controlled by us via various contracts.
GOING CONCERN
In assessing the Company’s liquidity, the Company monitors and analyzes its cash and cash equivalents and its operating and capital expenditure commitments. The Company’s liquidity needs are to meet its working capital requirements, operating expenses and capital expenditure obligations. As of September 30, 2018, the Company’s current liabilities exceeded the current assets, its accumulated deficit was approximately $2,095,000 and the Company has incurred losses since inception. None of the Company’s stockholders, officers or directors, or third parties, are under any obligation to advance us funds, or to invest in the Company. Accordingly, the Company may not be able to obtain additional financing. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, the Company may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of our business plan, and reducing overhead expenses. In the coming years, the Company plans to develop business in oversea markets to increase its revenues to meet its future cash flow requirements. However, the Company cannot provide any assurance on the successful development of the Company’s contemplated plan of operations or the financing that will be available to us on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the accounting and disclosure rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CXKJ, its wholly owned subsidiaries, CX Cayman, CX HK, CX Network, and its VIE, Shenzhen CX. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the consolidation and all necessary adjustments have been made to present the financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period including valuation of allowance for deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Net loss per common share
The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. At September 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into common stock and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted loss per common share is the same as basic loss per common share for the periods presented.
Fair value of financial instruments
The Company follows the provisions of ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.” ASC 820 clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date.
Level 2-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other the quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3-Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available information.
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivable, prepaid expenses, accrued liabilities and other payables, and short-term loans approximate their fair market value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments.
Management believes it is not practical to estimate the fair value of due to related party because the transactions cannot be assumed to have been consummated at arm’s length, the terms are not deemed to be market terms, there are no quoted values available for these instruments, and an independent valuation would not be practical due to the lack of data regarding similar instruments, if any, and the associated potential costs.
F-11
Risks and uncertainties
The Company’s operations are substantially carried out in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations maybe substantially influenced by the political, economic and legal environments in the PRC, and by the general state of the PRC’s economy. The Company’s operations in the PRC are subject to specific 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 environments and foreign currency exchange. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and trade accounts receivable. Substantially all of the Company’s cash is maintained with state-owned banks within the PRC, and no deposits are covered by insurance. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any risks on its cash in bank accounts.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and highly liquid investments, which are unrestricted from withdrawal or use, or which have original maturities of three months or less when purchased.
Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable primarily represents the cash due from customers, third-party application stores and other payment channels, net of allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company makes estimates for the allowance for doubtful accounts based upon its assessment of various factors, including the age of accounts receivable balances, credit quality of third-party application stores and other payment channels, current economic conditions and other factors that may affect their ability to pay. An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded in the period in which a loss is determined to be probable. At September 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company has determined the risk of uncollected receivable is remote.
Property and equipment, net
Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Significant additions or improvements extending useful lives of assets are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation and amortization are computed based on cost, less their estimated residual value, if any, using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives as follows:
Office equipment | 3 years | |
Furniture and fixtures | 3 years | |
Leasehold improvement | Shorter of the lease term or their economic lives |
Impairment of long-lived assets
Long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be fully recoverable. It is possible that these assets could become impaired as a result of technology, economy or other industry changes. If circumstances require a long-lived asset or asset group to be tested for possible impairment, the Company first compares undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by that asset or asset group to its carrying value. If the carrying value of the long-lived asset or asset group is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, an impairment is recognized to the extent that the carrying value exceeds its fair value. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow models, relief from royalty income approach, quoted market values and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary.
The Company makes various assumptions and estimates regarding estimated future cash flows and other factors in determining the fair values of the respective assets. The assumptions and estimates used to determine future values and remaining useful lives of long-lived assets are complex and subjective. They can be affected by various factors, including external factors such as industry and economic trends, and internal factors such as the Company’s business strategy and its forecasts for specific market expansion. The Company did not record any impairment charges for the years ended September 30, 2018 and 2017.
Advertising costs
Advertising costs are classified as selling expenses and are expensed in the period incurred and represent online marketing, including fees paid to search engines, and online and offline marketing. Advertising expense was $86,477 and $nil for the years ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
F-12
Income taxes
The Company utilizes ASC Topic 740, “Income taxes”, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the consolidated financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
ASC 740 “Income taxes” clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. This interpretation requires that an entity recognizes in the financial statements the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained upon examination, based on the technical merits of the position. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. The Company has elected to classify interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, if and when required, as part of income tax expense in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company evaluates the level of authority for each uncertain tax position (including the potential application of interest and penalties) based on the technical merits, and measure the unrecognized benefits associated with the tax positions. As of September 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company did not have any unrecognized tax benefits.
Revenue recognition
The Company currently recognizes revenue from application users in the form of membership subscription and à la carte online credit purchases. Membership subscription is a service package which enables members to enjoy additional functions and privileges. Members pay in advance, primarily by using a debit card or through mobile app stores, and, subject to certain conditions identified in the Company’s terms and conditions, all purchases are final and nonrefundable. Fees collected, in advance for membership subscription, are deferred and recognized as revenue using the straight-line method over the terms of the applicable membership period, which primarily range from one to three months. Membership subscription revenue is insignificant for the years ended September 30, 2018 and 2017. À la carte online credit purchases are non-refundable and the risk passes to users when users pay for à la carte features. Revenue from the purchase of à la carte features is recognized upon users paying for the purchase. In the year ended September 30, 2018, the Company also generated revenue from development and sales of applications, and co-operating games with other companies by providing background maintenance services. Revenue from development and sales of applications is recognized when the application is delivered to and accepted by customers, and revenue from co-operation of game is recognized usually on monthly basis.
Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; the price is fixed or determinable; and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue was recorded on a gross basis, net of surcharges and value added tax (“VAT”) of gross sales. The Company recorded revenue on a gross basis because the Company has the following indicators for gross reporting: is the primary obligor of the sales arrangements has latitude in establishing prices, has discretion in suppliers’ selection and assumes credit risks on receivables from customers.
Cost of revenues
Cost of revenues primarily includes bandwidth costs, professional expenses associated with maintenance of mobile platform, and labor costs.
Foreign currency translation
The reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of Shenzhen CX and CX Network is the local currency, the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”) as PRC is the primary economic environment in which they operate. The functional currency of CX HK is Hong Kong Dollar (the “HKD”). The Company’s subsidiaries or VIE with functional currency of RMB translate their operating results and financial positions into the U.S. dollar, the Company’s reporting currency. Results of operations and cash flows are translated at average exchange rates during the period, assets and liabilities are translated at the unified exchange rate at the end of the period, and equity is translated at historical exchange rates. Translation adjustments resulting from the process of translating the local currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in other comprehensive income in the statement of stockholders’ equity. The Company does not enter any material transaction in foreign currencies and accordingly, transaction gains or losses have not had, and are not expected to have, a material effect on the results of operations of the Company.
Accumulated other comprehensive loss
Comprehensive loss is comprised of net loss and all changes to the statements of stockholders’ deficit, except those due to investments by stockholders, changes in paid-in capital and distributions to stockholders. For the Company, comprehensive loss for the years ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 included net loss and unrealized loss from foreign currency translation adjustments.
F-13
Research and development expenses
Research and development expenses include salaries and benefits for research and development personnel, depreciation expenses associated with the research and development activities, and other related expenses associated with product development. The Company’s research and development activities primarily consist of the research and development of new features for its mobile platform and its self-developed mobile applications. The Company has expensed all research and development expenses when incurred.
Related parties
Parties are considered to be related to the Company if the parties that, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, control, are controlled by, or are under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.
Operating leases
The Company has adopted FASB Accounting Standard Codification, or ASC 840. If the lease terms meet one or all of the following four criteria, it will be classified as a capital lease, otherwise, it is an operating lease: (1) The lease transfers the title to the lessee at the end of the term; (2) the lease contains a bargain purchase option; (3) the lease term is equal to 75% of the estimated economic life of the leased property or more; (4) the present value of the minimum lease payment in the term equals or exceeds 90% of the fair value of the leased property.
Payments made under operating leases are charged to the consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the lease period.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on net earnings and financial position.
Recent accounting pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” and issued subsequent amendments to the initial guidance or implementation guidance between August 2015 and November 2017 within ASU 2015-14, ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10, ASU 2016-12, ASU 2016-20, ASU 2017-13, and ASU 2017-14 (collectively, including ASU 2014-09, “ASC 606”). Under ASU 2014-09, a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The Company elected to adopt the new guidance of revenue recognition effective October 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method. The Company has identified its revenue streams and assessed each for the impacts. The Company does not expect a material impact on the consolidated financial statement upon the adoption of ASC 606.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”. Under ASU 2016-02, lessees will be required to recognize all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date including a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and a right-of-use (ROU) asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. Lessees (for capital and operating leases) must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The modified retrospective approach would not require any transition accounting for leases that expired before the earliest comparative period presented. Lessees may not apply a full retrospective transition approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on the consolidated financial statements.
The standard will be effective for the Company beginning October 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company plans to adopt the standard effective October 1, 2019 on a modified retrospective basis. The Company anticipates this standard will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. However, the Company does not expect adoption will have a material impact on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. While the Company is continuing to assess potential impacts of the standard, the Company currently expects the most significant impact will be the recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities for the ongoing leases.
In March 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-05, “Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118”. This ASU adds SEC paragraphs pursuant to the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, which expresses the view of the staff regarding application of Topic 740, Income Taxes, in the reporting period that includes December 22, 2017 - the date on which the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was signed into law. The amendments are effective upon addition to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The Company has evaluated the impact from the Tax Cut and Jobs Act pursuant to SAB 118, see Note 7 for further disclosures.

As of September 30, 2018, the balance of the note payable was $0.
F-15
NOTE 7 – INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the accounting standards that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statements and the tax basis of assets and liabilities, and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax losses and tax credit carryforwards. Additionally, the accounting standards require the establishment of a valuation allowance to reflect the likelihood of realization of deferred tax assets. The Company and its subsidiaries file separate income tax returns.
United States
CXKJ is incorporated in the State of Nevada and is subject to the United States federal income tax. No provision for income taxes in the U.S. has been made as the Company has no U.S. taxable income for the years ended September 30, 2018 and 2017.
On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cut and Jobs Act (“Tax Act”) was signed into law. The Tax Act introduced a broad range of tax reform measures that significantly changed the federal income tax laws. The provisions of the Tax Act may have a significant impact on the Company, which includes the permanent reduction of the corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% effective for tax years including or commencing on January 1, 2018, one-time transition tax on post-1986 foreign unremitted earnings, provision for Global Intangible Low Tax Income (“GILTI”), deduction for Foreign Derived Intangible Income (“FDII”), repeal of the corporate alternative minimum tax, limitation of various business deductions, and modification of the maximum deduction of net operating loss with no carryback but indefinite carryforward provision. Many provisions in the Tax Act are generally effective in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017. The Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and retained an accumulated deficit of $2,094,690 as of September 30, 2018, therefore did not recognize any one-time transition tax. The actual impact of the Tax Act may differ from management’s estimates, and management may update its judgments based on its continuing evaluation and on future regulations or guidance issued by the U.S. Department of the Treasury, and specific actions the Company may take in the future.
Cayman Islands
CX Cayman is incorporated in the Cayman Islands. Under the current laws of the Cayman Islands, CX Cayman is not subject to tax on income or capital gains. In addition, upon payments of dividends by CX Cayman, no Cayman Islands withholding tax is imposed.
Hong Kong
CX HK is incorporated in Hong Kong and Hong Kong’s profits tax rate is 16.5%. CX HK did not earn any income that was derived in Hong Kong for the years ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 and therefore, CX HK was not subject to Hong Kong profits tax for the years reported.
PRC
The PRC’s statutory income tax rate is 25%. The Company’s subsidiary and VIE registered in PRC are subject to income tax rate of 25%, unless otherwise specified.
CX Network did not generate taxable income in the PRC for the years ended September 30, 2018 and 2017. Management estimated that CX Network will not generate any taxable income in the future.
