WEYLAND TECH INC.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS DESCRIPTION

Weyland Tech’s CreateApp platform enables small-medium-sized businesses ("SMBs") to create a mobile application ("app") without the need of technical knowledge, high investment or background in IT.

We believe that SMBs can increase sales, reach more customers and promote their products and services via a simple easy to build mobile app at an affordable price and in a cost-effective manner. 

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis to reflect the financial position and results of operations of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America 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.  Management makes its best estimate of the ultimate outcome for these items based on historical trends and other information available when the financial statements are prepared. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

CERTAIN RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The Company relies on cloud based hosting through a globally accredited hosting provider. Management believes that alternate sources are available; however, disruption or termination of this relationship could adversely affect our operating results in the near-term.

SEGMENT REPORTING

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by our chief operating decision maker, or decision making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.

We identify our reportable segments as those customer groups that represent more than 10% of our combined revenue or gross profit or loss of all reported operating segments.  We manage our business on the basis of the one reportable segment e-commerce solutions and service provider.  The accounting policies for segment reporting are the same as for the Company as a whole.  We do not segregate assets by segments since our chief operating decision maker, or decision making group, does not use assets as a basis to evaluate a segment’s performance.

IDENTIFIABLE INTANGIBLE ASSETS

4

Identifiable intangible assets are recorded at cost and are amortized over 3 years. Similar to tangible property and equipment, the Company periodically evaluates identifiable intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

EQUIPMENT

Equipment is carried at cost less a provision for depreciation on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Estimated useful life of the computer equipment is 3 years.

INVESTMENT IN JOINT VENTURE

The Company’s accounting policy for joint ventures is as follows:

The Company uses the cost method when it does not have joint control or significant influence in a joint venture. Under the cost method, these investments are carried at cost. If other than temporary impairment in value is determined, it would then be charged to current net income or loss.

If the Company enters into a joint venture in which there is joint control between the parties or the Company has significant influence, the equity method is utilized whereby the Company’s share of the ventures’ earnings and losses is included in the statement of operations as earnings in joint ventures and its investments therein are adjusted by a similar amount. If other than temporary impairment in value is determined, it would then be charged to current net income or loss.

In a joint venture where the Company holds more than 50% of the voting interest and has significant influence, the joint venture is consolidated with the presentation of non-controlling interest.  In determining whether significant influences exist, the Company considers its participation in policy-making decisions and its representation on the venture’s management committee.

PREPAYMENTS

Prepayments represent amounts advanced to suppliers. The suppliers usually require advance payments or deposits when the Company makes purchase or orders service and the prepayments and deposits will be utilized to offset the Company’s future payments

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash and cash equivalents represent cash on hand, demand deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments placed with banks, which have original maturities of three months or less and are readily convertible to known amounts of cash. 

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company accounts for stock based compensation by recognizing the fair value of stock compensation as an expense in the calculation of net income (loss). The Company recognizes stock compensation expense in the period in which the employee is required to provide service, which is generally over the vesting period of the individual equity instruments. Stock options issued in lieu of cash to non-employees for services performed are recorded at the fair value of the options at the time they are issued and are expensed as service is provided.

5

EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic earnings (loss) per share of common stock is computed by dividing the net earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings (loss) per share of common stock is computed by dividing the net earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, including vested and unvested stock options that are in the money.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts payable, interest payable, shareholder loans and other current liabilities. The carrying values of financial instruments reflected in these financial statements approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturity of the instruments.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company recognizes revenue from providing hosting and integration services and licensing the use of its technology platform to its customers. The Company recognizes revenue when all of the following conditions are satisfied: (1) there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement; (2) the service has been provided to the customer (for licensing, revenue is recognized when the Company’s technology is used to provide hosting and integration services); (3) the amount of fees to be paid by the customer is fixed or determinable; and (4) the collection of fees is probable.  We account for our multi-element arrangements, such as instances where we design a custom website and separately offer other services such as hosting, which are recognized over the period for when services are performed.

COST OF SERVICE

Cost of service results from 1) sales commissions to resellers 2) sourcing technical and engineering personnel in Asia on an hourly or project basis in order to customize multi-site SMB mobile apps and medium to large scale customized apps. 3) cloud based hosting services.  

INCOME TAXES

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). Under this method, income tax expense is recognized as the amount of: (i) taxes payable or refundable for the current year and (ii) future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if based on the weight of available evidence it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

There were various other accounting standards and interpretations recently issued, none of which is expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position, operations or cash flows.

Overview

Weyland Tech’s CreateApp platform enables small-medium-sized businesses ("SMBs") to create a mobile application ("app") without the need of technical knowledge, high investment or background in IT.

We believe that SMBs can increase sales, reach more customers and promote their products and services via a simple easy to build mobile app at an affordable price and in a cost-effective manner.

The Company is currently in ‘application’ stage with the NASDAQ Market for approval to have its shares traded on the NASDAQ Capital Market. It is anticipated, though not certain, that this process should be completed within the calendar year 2017.

Our corporate headquarters are located at 198 Wellington Street, 8/F The Wellington, Central, Hong Kong HKSAR.  Although we maintain a website at www.weyland-tech.com, we do not intend that information available on our website be incorporated into this filing.

Our Growth Strategy

Although Weyland Tech's CreateApp platform originally focused on the Pan-Asia markets—the platform is provided in twelve, predominantly Asian, languages—we have partners that work with us to develop the EU and North American markets.

The CreateApp platform enables SMBs to create a mobile application ("app") without the need of technical knowledge, high investment or background in IT.

We believe that through our app, SMBs can increase sales, reach more customers and promote their products and services via a simple easy to build mobile app at an affordable and cost-effective manner.

On August 29, 2017 the Company announced that its exclusive eurozone partner, Augicom S.A., has entered into a partnership with Orange Pro. As part of this agreement, Weyland Tech's CreateApp will be made available to Orange Pro clients via "la Carte Pro" program or 'Pro Card' in English. The "Pro Card" program of Orange is a loyalty program for independent professionals and SMBs.

Additionally, the Company has begun exploratory discussions with an eSports video aggregation operator regarding a potential partnership and the building of an online betting app for the eSports industry. Due to the high growth of the eSports sector, we anticipate that the app would be marketed worldwide and find exposure through JV's with entities such as casinos and other gambling avenues. Further details will be released as progress is made.

On September 12, 2017 the Company qualified to trade on the OTCQX® Best Market.  Weyland Tech upgraded to OTCQX from the OTCQB® Venture Market.

On September 26, 2017 the Company announced that it has named Mr. Ghassan R. Saade as a strategic advisor for Weyland's expansion into the Middle East & Africa ("MEA").

SMBs

The Company believes that these agreements will create a large enough addressable market opportunity to generate sales and profits in a scalable manner, grow the Company's business and enhance shareholder value.

Given the nature of DIY mobile apps ("apps"), and the primary target market of SMBs, a typical go- to-market strategy would have direct sales force or resellers approach SMBs directly to drive license sales.

Over the past year, the Company has evolved this model with two distinct market paths to drive recurring revenue sales:

A) Strategic Cooperation agreements in countries/regions where our partners are responsible for targeting SMBs either through an installed base of customers or groups of Direct Sellers with a sales force encompassing SMBs as end customers.

B) Enterprise Solutions where large retailers (hypermarket chains, mall owners, brand owners with company-owned and franchise stores) adopt a 'Master App' on a white-label basis, hosted at a 3rd party regional Hosting or Data Center facility.

With the above strategy, we believe that the Company has been able to maintain a lower capital expenditure base due to the 'level-two' customer support vs. 'level-one' customer support, smaller sales and marketing teams, and the need to provide hosting services.

In addition to the previously announced cooperation agreements this year, the Company is currently in late stage discussions and negotiations with a number of strategic business partners and enterprise- sized customers, including major regional and country telecommunications providers, Fortune 500 retailers and 'affiliate' groups.

Specific terms of the relationships and agreements will remain confidential for competitive reasons. However, agreements are expected to continue to support a transition from a

11

licensing model to a multi-year model with subscriptions, m-commerce revenue sharing and advertising revenues.

In addition to his role at kek eSports, he currently serves as Strategic Advisor and Honorary Chairman in Asia for ESL, the world's largest eSports league.

On October 31, 2017 the Company announced that it has entered into a memorandum of understanding ("MOU") with partner iAXCESS ("iAXCESS"). Ultimately, iAXCESS intends to utilize the Weyland Tech CreateApp platform for iAXCESS's m-Commerce app and will also provide the CreateApp platform on a white-label basis, as a branded app, to other industries in the MENA Region. This MOU lays the groundwork for the relationship by establishing the preliminary structural terms of the venture.
