CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
Weyland Tech Inc. (the “Company”) is a global provider of mobile business applications. Its Platform-as-a-Service (“PaaS”) platform offers a mobile presence to businesses in emerging markets, with partnerships on 3 continents and growing. This Do It Yourself (“DIY”) mobile application platform, offered in 14 languages with over 70 integrated modules, enables small and medium sized businesses (“SMBs”) to create native mobile applications (“apps”) for Apple’s iOS and Google Android without technical knowledge or background, empowering SMBs to increase sales, reach more customers and promote their products and services in an easy, affordable and efficient manner.
In May 2018, the Company expanded its portfolio to fintech applications with the launch of its AtozPay mobile payments platform.
In the fall of 2019, the Company expanded its portfolio to short-distance food delivery service with the launch of AtozGo.
In January 2020, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Logiq, Inc. (formerly known as Origin8, Inc.) (“Logiq”), completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Push Holdings, Inc (Note 17). Logiq operates a consumer data management platform powered by lead generation, online marketing, and multichannel reengagement strategies through its owned and operated brands. Logiq has developed a proprietary data management platform and integrated with several third-party service providers to optimize the return on its marketing efforts. Logiq focuses on consumer engagement and enrichment to maximize it’s return on acquisition through repeat monetization of each consumer. Logiq also licenses its software technology and provides managed technology services to various other e-commerce companies. Logiq is located in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the financial position of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Logiq, as of March 31, 2020, and the results of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the three months period ended March 31, 2020.
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 (“GAAP”).
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with 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. 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.
5
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Logiq. Material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.
CERTAIN RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The Company relies on cloud-based hosting through a global 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.
BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
The Company accounts for acquisition of entities that include inputs and processes and has the ability to create outputs as business combinations. The Company allocates the purchase price of the acquisition to the tangible assets, liabilities and identifiable intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the purchase price over those fair values is recorded as goodwill. Acquisition-related expenses and integration costs are expensed as incurred.
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.
The Company is focused on mobile commerce enablement via our CreateAPP platform acquired in 2015 and subsequently enhanced in 2016 and 2017, offered on a Platform-as-a-Service (“PaaS”) basis. 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.
On January 8, 2020, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Logiq, completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Push Holdings, Inc. Logiq provides a consumer data management platform powered by lead generation, online marketing, and multichannel reengagement strategies through its owned and operated brands. Logiq develops proprietary technology solutions including, among other things, artificial intelligence powered media buying optimization, customer relationship management, payment processing, and fulfillment and customer lifecycle management platforms. Logiq utilizes its technologies to sell a multitude of products directly to consumers with a focus on recurring subscription based models. Logiq also licenses its software technology and provides managed technology services to various other ecommerce companies.
We manage our business on the basis of the two reportable segments: mobile commerce enablement via our CreateAPP platform service provider and consumer data management platform powered by lead generation, online marketing, and multichannel reengagement strategies through its owned and operated brands.
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.
6
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
The Company classifies its long-life assets into: (i) computer and office equipment; (ii) furniture and fixtures, (iii) leasehold improvements, and (iv) finite – life intangible assets.
Long-life 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-life 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.
ASSOCIATES
Associates are all entities over which the Company has significant influence but not control or joint control, generally accompanying a shareholding interest of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting, after initially being recognized at cost. The Company’s investment in associates includes goodwill identified on acquisition. The Company’s share of its associates’ post-acquisition profits or losses is recognized in profit or loss, and its share of post-acquisition other comprehensive income is recognized in other comprehensive income. The cumulative post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment. Dividends receivable from associates are recognized as a reduction in the carrying amount of the investment. Where the Company’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured long-term receivables, the Company does not recognize further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate. Unrealized gains on transactions between the group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Company’s interest in the associates. Unrealized losses are also eliminated, unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of associates have been changed, where necessary, to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Company.
7
FINANCIAL ASSETS
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are stated at fair value, with any resulting gain or loss recognized in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognized in profit or loss incorporates any dividend or interest earned on the financial asset and is included in ‘other gains and losses’ line in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Fair value is determined in the manner described in Note 7.
The Company measures certain financial assets at fair value on a recurring basis, including the available-for-sale debt securities. Fair value is the price the Company would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction with a market participant at the measurement date. The Company uses a three-level hierarchy established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) that prioritizes fair value measurements based on the types of inputs used for the various valuation techniques (market approach, income approach and cost approach).
The levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
● | Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
● | Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; these include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active. |
● | Level 3: Unobservable inputs with little or no market data available, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. |
The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the most conservative level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Available-for-sale investments
Certain shares and debt securities held by the Company are classified as being available for sale and are stated at fair value. Fair value is determined in the manner described in Note 7. Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value, impairment losses, interest calculated using the effective interest method and foreign exchange gains and losses on monetary assets are recognized directly in profit or loss. Dividends on available-for-sale equity instruments are recognized in profit or loss when the Company’s right to receive payments is established. The fair value of available-for-sale monetary assets denominated in a foreign currency is determined in that foreign currency and translated at the spot rate at the end of the reporting period. The change in fair value attributable to translation differences that result from a change in amortized cost of the available-for-sale monetary asset is recognized in profit or loss, and other changes are recognized in other comprehensive income.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT, NET
Property and equipment are stated at historical cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are three to five years for computer and related equipment. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the related lease term or their estimated useful life. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments are capitalized, while minor replacements, maintenance and repairs, which do not extend the asset lives, are charged to operations as incurred. Upon sale or disposition, the cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the accounts, and any gain or loss is included in the Company’s results from operations.
8
GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLES ASSETS, NET
Goodwill is recorded as the difference between the aggregate consideration paid for in a business combination and the fair value of the acquired net tangible and intangible assets acquired. The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment on an annual basis in the fourth quarter or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. The Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. Based on that qualitative assessment, if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, the Company conducts a quantitative goodwill impairment test, which involves comparing the estimated fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying value, including goodwill. The Company estimates the fair value of a reporting unit using a combination of the income and market approach. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, an impairment loss is recorded for the difference.
The Company’s intangible assets consist of software technology which are amortized using the straight-line method over five years. Amortization expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 amounted to $437,983 and $25,483, respectively.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS
Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and related expenses, consulting services and other direct expenses and developments to our website, e-commerce, and mobile app and web based digital platforms. We expect our research and development expenses to increase in absolute dollars as we continue to invest in new and existing products and services.
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND CONCENTRATION OF RISK
The Company’s CreateApp business effective September 1, 2015 is based on a nil accounts receivable balance as subscriptions are collected on a usage basis.
Our subsidiary, Logiq, Inc. (formerly known as Origin8, Inc.), accounts receivable, net is stated at the amount Logiq expects to collect, or the net realizable value. The Company provides a provision for allowances that includes returns, allowances and doubtful accounts equal to the estimated uncollectible amounts. The Company estimates its provision for allowances based on historical collection experience and a review of the current status of trade accounts receivable. It is reasonably possible that the Company’s estimate of the provision for allowances will change.
As of March 31, 2020 and 2019, the allowance for bad debt was approximately $54,619 and $0, respectively.
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 twelve months or less and are readily convertible to known amounts of cash.

EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic (loss) earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period while the effects of potential common shares outstanding during the period are included in diluted earnings per share.
FASB Accounting Standard Codification Topic 260 (“ASC 260”), “Earnings Per Share,” requires that employee equity share options, non-vested shares and similar equity instruments granted to employees be treated as potential common shares in computing diluted earnings per share. Diluted earnings per share should be based on the actual number of options or shares granted and not yet forfeited, unless doing so would be anti-dilutive. The Company uses the “treasury stock” method for equity instruments granted in share-based payment transactions provided in ASC 260 to determine diluted earnings per share. Antidilutive securities represent potentially dilutive securities which are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings or loss per share as their impact was antidilutive.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company’s Platform as a Service (“PaaS”) provides the infrastructure allowing users to develop their own applications and IT services, which users can access anywhere via a web or desktop browser. The Company recognizes revenue on a pay-to-use subscription basis when our customers use our platform. For the territories licensed to our distributors and on a white label basis, we derive royalty income from the end user use of our platform on a white label basis.
The Company maintains the PaaS software platform at its own cost. Any enhancements and minor customization for our resellers/distributors are not separately billed. Major new proprietary features are billed to the customer separately as development income while re-usable features are added to the features available to all customers on subsequent releases of our platform.

Logiq develops proprietary technology solutions including, among other things, artificial intelligence powered media buying optimization, customer relationship management, payment processing, and fulfillment and customer lifecycle management platforms. Logiq also licenses its software technology and provides managed technology services to various other e-commerce companies.
COST OF SERVICE
Cost of service comprises fees from third party cloud-based hosting services. Logiq’s cost of revenue comprises online traffic sources.
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 statements 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 in 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
On October 2, 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2017-13, “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605), Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), Leases (Topic 840), and Leases (Topic 842): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to the Staff Announcement at the July 20, 2017 EITF Meeting and Rescission of Prior SEC Staff Announcements and Observer Comments.” The ASU adds SEC paragraphs to the new revenue and leases sections of the Codification on the announcement the SEC Observer made at the July 20, 2017 Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) meeting. The SEC Observer said that the SEC staff would not object if entities that are considered public business entities only because their financial statements or financial information is required to be included in another entity’s SEC filing use the effective dates for private companies when they adopt ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and ASC 842, Leases. This would include entities whose financial statements are included in another entity’s SEC filing because they are significant acquirees under Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X, significant equity method investees under Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X and equity method investees whose summarized financial information is included in a registrant’s financial statement notes under Rule 4-08(g) of Regulation S-X. The ASU also supersedes certain SEC paragraphs in the Codification related to previous SEC staff announcements and moves other paragraphs, upon adoption of ASC 606 or ASC 842. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
On November 22, 2017, the FASB ASU No. 2017-14, “Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Revenue Recognition (Topic 605), and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 116 and SEC Release 33-10403.” The ASU amends various paragraphs in ASC 220, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income; ASC 605, Revenue Recognition; and ASC 606, Revenue From Contracts With Customers, that contain SEC guidance. The amendments include superseding ASC 605-10-S25-1 (SAB Topic 13) as a result of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 116 and adding ASC 606-10-S25-1 as a result of SEC Release No. 33-10403. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, “Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects From Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.” The ASU amends ASC 220, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income, to “allow a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.” In addition, under the ASU, an entity will be required to provide certain disclosures regarding stranded tax effects. The ASU is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
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 (“ASU 2018-05”), which amends the FASB Accounting Standards Codification and XBRL Taxonomy based on the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) that was signed into law on December 22, 2017 and Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”) that was released by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Act changes numerous provisions that impact U.S. corporate tax rates, business-related exclusions, and deductions and credits and may additionally have international tax consequences for many companies that operate internationally. The Company does not believe this guidance will have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10, “Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases.” The ASU addresses 16 separate issues which include, for example, a correction to a cross reference regarding residual value guarantees, a clarification regarding rates implicit in lease contracts, and a consolidation of the requirements about lease classification reassessments. The guidance also addresses lessor reassessments of lease terms and purchase options, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, investment tax credits, lease terms and purchase options, transition guidance for amounts previously recognized in business combinations, and certain transition adjustments, among others. For entities that early adopted Topic 842, the amendments are effective upon issuance of this Update, and the transition requirements are the same as those in Topic 842. For entities that have not adopted Topic 842, the effective date and transition requirements will be the same as the effective date and transition requirements in Topic 842. The Company does not believe this guidance will have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11 - Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements. The ASU simplifies transition requirements and, for lessors, provides a practical expedient for the separation of non-lease components from lease components. Specifically, the ASU provides: (1) an optional transition method that entities can use when adopting ASC 842 and (2) a practical expedient that permits lessors to not separate non-lease components from the associated lease component if certain conditions are met. For entities that have not adopted Topic 842 before the issuance of this Update, the effective date and transition requirements for the amendments in this Update are the same as the effective date and transition requirements in Update 2016-02. For entities that have adopted Topic 842 before the issuance of this Update, the transition and effective date of the amendments in this Update are as follows: 1) The practical expedient may be elected either in the first reporting period following the issuance of this Update or at the original effective date of Topic 842 for that entity. 2) The practical expedient may be applied either retrospectively or prospectively. All entities, including early adopters, that elect the practical expedient related to separating components of a contract in this Update must apply the expedient, by class of underlying asset, to all existing lease transactions that qualify for the expedient at the date elected. The Company does not believe this guidance will have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
The Company has considered all new accounting pronouncements and has concluded that there are no new pronouncements that may have a material impact on results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows, based on current information.

On January 8, 2020, the Company acquired substantially all the assets of Push Holdings in exchange for 35,714,285 shares of the Company’s common stock. The fair value of the shares of common stock at the close of the transaction was $14,285,714.
The acquisition of substantially all the assets of Push Holdings was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), with the results of Logiq’s operations included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from January 9, 2020. Goodwill has been measured as the excess of the total consideration over the amounts assigned to identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
During the period ended March 31, 2020, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Logiq acquired substantially all of the assets of Push Holdings, Inc. The fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed were as follows:
Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 574,572 | ||
Restricted cash | 1,025,000 | |||
Accounts receivable, net | 709,053 | |||
Prepaid expenses and other current assets | 11,940 | |||
Property, plant and equipment | 225,126 | |||
Intangible assets | 8,250,000 | |||
Accounts payable | (367,091 | ) | ||
Accrued expenses and other current liabilities | (424,094 | ) | ||

Goodwill | 4,781,208 | |||
Net assets acquired | $ | 14,285,714 |
Fair valuation methods used for the identifiable net assets acquired in the acquisition make use of quoted prices in active markets, discounted cash flows and risk adjusted weighted cost of capital. The methods used in determining fair value of the intangible assets included consideration of the three traditional approaches to value: market, income, and cost. Accordingly, after due consideration of other appropriate and generally accepted valuation methodologies, the value of intangible assets acquired from Push has been developed primarily on the basis of the income approach. Under the income approach, the Company evaluated revenue projections derived from the software technology and the appropriate royalty rate that Push Holdings would have paid if Push Holdings did not own the software technology.
On the acquisition date, goodwill of $4,781,208 and other intangible assets of $8,250,000 were recorded. The other intangible asset identified during the acquisition is software technology, which has a weighted average useful life of five years, which is management’s best estimate at the time of the acquisition.
The Company incurred some accounting and legal fees related to the acquisition of the assets of Push Holdings. The amount attributable to the Company has been included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2020.

NOTE 20 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On April 24, 2020 Logiq, Inc. (formerly known as Origin8, Inc.) (Logiq the “Company”) entered into a loan agreement and promissory note evidencing unsecured loan in the amount of $503,700 made to the Company under the Paycheck Protection Program (the “Loan”). The Paycheck Protection Program (or “PPP”) was established under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) and is administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration. The Loans are being made through Bridgewater Bank (the “Lender”).
The interest rate on the Loans is 1.00%. Commencing seven months after the effective date of the Loan, the Company is required to pay the Lender equal monthly payments of principal and interest as required to fully amortize by the second anniversary of the effective date of the Loan the principal amount outstanding on the Loan as of the end of the six-month period following the effective date of the Loan. The promissory notes evidencing the Loans contain customary events of default relating to, among other things, payment defaults, making materially false and misleading representations to the SBA or Lender, or breaching the terms of the Loan documents. The occurrence of an event of default may result in the repayment of all amounts outstanding, collection of all amounts owing from the Company, or filing suit and obtaining judgment against the Company.
Under the terms of the CARES Act, PPP loan recipients can apply for and be granted forgiveness for all or a portion of loans granted under the PPP. Such forgiveness will be determined, subject to limitations, based on the use of loan proceeds for payment of payroll costs and any payments of mortgage interest, rent, and utilities. No assurance can be given that the Company will obtain forgiveness of the Loans in whole or in part.

Forward Looking Statements
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q and other reports that we file with the SEC contain statements that are considered forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements give the Company’s current expectations, plans, objectives, assumptions or forecasts of future events. All statements other than statements of current or historical fact contained in this quarterly report, including statements regarding the Company’s future financial position, business strategy, budgets, projected costs and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plans,” “potential,” “projects,” “ongoing,” “expects,” “management believes,” “we believe,” “we intend,” and similar expressions. These statements are based on the Company’s current plans and are subject to risks and uncertainties, and as such the Company’s actual future activities and results of operations may be materially different from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Any or all of the forward-looking statements in this periodic report may turn out to be inaccurate and as such, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. The Company has based these forward-looking statements largely on its current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that it believes may affect its financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs. The forward-looking statements can be affected by inaccurate assumptions or by known or unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions due to a number of factors, including:
● | dependence on key personnel; |
● | competitive factors; |
● | degree of success of research and development programs; |
● | the operation of our business; and |
● | general economic conditions in the ASEAN, Asia-Pacific Region and in the United States. |
These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and except to the extent required by federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or persons acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained in this quarterly report.

Overview
Weyland Tech’s CreateApp platform, offered as a Platform as a Service (“PaaS”), enables small-medium-sized businesses (“SMB”) to create a mobile application (“app”) without the need of technical knowledge, high investment or background in IT. At present, the Company does not charge for use of the PaaS platform. The Company recognizes revenue on a pay to use subscription basis when our customers use our platform.
We believe that SMB 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.
Weyland Tech, Inc. is focused on mobile commerce enablement via our CreateAPP platform acquired in 2015 and subsequently enhanced in 2016 and 2017, offered on a Platform-as-a-Service (“PaaS”) basis, and the company’s e-wallet initiative AtoZPay.
COVID-19 Provision
Due to the unprecedented effect and related impact of Covid-19 pandemic, the Company has experienced a push back from the Company’s resellers and white label distributors, for its Platform as a Service pay-to-use subscription basis, noted in April 2020 to the date of this report. The Company is expecting a reduction in its service revenues, as it provides complimentary services to maintain customers, in the coming nine months ending December 31, 2020.

The Company reports a net loss of ($2,813,092) for the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to a net loss ($26,854) for the three months ended March 31, 2019.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the three months period ended March 31, 2020, our primary sources of capital came from our operations, existing cash, and third party financings.
23
Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors including our growth rate, the timing and extent of spending to support development efforts, the expansion of our sales and marketing, the timing of new product introductions and the continuing market acceptance of our products and services. If cash generated from operations is insufficient to satisfy our capital requirements, we may open a revolving line of credit with a bank, or we may have to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain expanded credit facilities to fund our operating expenses, pay our obligations, diversify our geographical reach and grow our company. In the event such financing is needed in the future, there can be no assurance that such financing will be available to us, or, if available, that it will be in amounts and on terms acceptable to us. If cash flows from operations became insufficient to continue operations at the current level, and if no additional financing was obtained, then management would restructure the Company in a way to preserve its business while maintaining expenses within operating cash flows.
However, we estimate that based on current plans and assumptions, that our available cash will be sufficient to satisfy our cash requirements under our present operating expectations, without further financing, for up to 12 months. We have sufficient working capital to fund the expansion of our operations and to provide working capital necessary for our ongoing operations and obligations.
A summary of our changes in cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 is provided below:

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information under this item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). that is designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our company’s disclosure controls and procedures, and our current procedures are in full compliance with disclosure controls and procedures.
b) Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company. Our internal control system was designed to, in general, provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management and board regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements, but because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Our management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2020. The framework used by management in making that assessment was the criteria set forth in the document entitled “Internal Control – Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework). Based on this assessment, our management has concluded that our internal controls were effective as of March 31, 2020.
c) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management has reported to the Audit Committee the content of the material weaknesses identified in our assessment. Addressing these weaknesses is a priority of management and we are in the process of remediating the cited material weaknesses. For example, the Company is actively evaluating its internal control structure to identify the need for additional resources to ensure appropriate segregation of duties.
Except as disclosed in the preceding paragraphs, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
25
We are currently not involved in any litigation that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations, except as set forth below. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the executive officers of our company or any of our subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting our company, our common stock, any of our subsidiaries or of our companies or our subsidiaries’ officers or directors in their capacities as such, in which an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect.
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information under this item.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
There were no unregistered shares of equity securities sold during this time period which were not previously disclosed.
