NEW ASIA HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2019
Note 1: Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization
New Asia Holdings, Inc. (formerly known as DM Products, Inc., previously known as Midwest E.S.W.T. Corp, and previously known as Effective Sport Nutrition Corporation) (the "Company" or "NAHD") was incorporated in the state of Nevada on March 1, 2001. Prior to December 2014, the Company was engaged in the business of locating inventive products and introducing these products (such as the Banjo Minnow Fishing Lure System) through a Direct Response Model, a form of marketing that allows potential consumers direct access to the seller without the necessity of traditional retail. In December 2014, the Company underwent a change in control as a result of approximately 90% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company being acquired by New Asia Holdings, Ltd. (wholly owned by Lin Kok Peng, Ph.D.) (“NAHL”) and other accredited investors and management adopting a new business plan based on developing highly advanced, proprietary, neural trading models for the financial community.
We offer trading software solutions to clients on the basis of a "Software as a Service (SaaS)" licensing and delivery models with licensed users availing themselves of service-based contractual arrangements. In addition, and consistent with the requirements of the United States federal securities laws, we may utilize our in-house proprietary neural trading models to trade our own funds, thus providing added value to our shareholders.
The Company's focus is to capitalize the large volume of the 24 hours Forex markets to achieve capital appreciation over a medium to long term combined with the usage of a good wealth vehicle in order to control risk, profit from both bull or bear markets, maximize liquidity and economic resilience.
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") for interim consolidated financial information and with the instructions to Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Form 10-Q and Article 8 of SEC Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal recurring nature and considered necessary for a fair presentation of its financial condition and results of operations for the interim periods presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been included. Operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of financial results for the full year. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. In preparing these financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Related Parties
The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 850, “Related Party Disclosures,” for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions. See Note 4.
Leases
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)," which requires lessees to recognize right-of use assets and lease liability, initially measured at present value of the lease payments, on its balance sheet for leases with terms longer than 12 months and classified as either financing or operating leases. ASU 2016-02 requires a modified retrospective transition approach for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, and provides certain practical expedients that companies may elect including those
7
contained in ASU 2018-01, "Leases (Topic 842): Lease Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842". This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years with early adoption permitted. The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842, “Leases” as of January 1, 2019.
Note 2: Going Concern
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has sustained substantial losses has a working capital deficit and is in need of additional capital to grow its operations so that it can become profitable. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
In view of these matters, the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon growth of revenues and the ability of the Company to raise additional capital. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Note 3: Common Stock
The Company has authorized 430,000,000 shares of capital stock, consisting of 400,000,000 shares, par value $0.001 per share, of common stock, and 30,000,000 shares, par value $0.001 per share, of “blank check” preferred stock. The Company had 72,288,667 shares of common stock and no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.
As of June 30, 2019, NAHL, the Company’s principal shareholder, had not yet exercised its option to convert advances made by NAHL to the Company into shares of common stock. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2019, the advances remain as an interest-free loan to the Company. See Note 4.
Note 4: Convertible Advances from Shareholder and Other Related Party Transactions
During the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, NAHL, an affiliate of the Company, advanced an aggregate of $94,913 to the Company. The total advances due are $806,452 and $711,539 from NAHL as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. As of September 30, 2018, $465,594 of the advances constitute unsecured interest-free loans to the Company. The advances were supposed to have been repaid by the close of business on October 31, 2016. In 2016, however, the Company and NAHL agreed that if the Company was unable to repay these advances by such date, NAHL, at its sole discretion, would have the option to extend the repayment deadline or convert all or a portion of the above advances into common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $0.02 per share. As of June 30, 2019, NAHL had not exercised its option to convert the advances into shares of common stock, thus the total of $806,452 in advances presently remain as an unsecured interest-free loan to the Company. The $94,913 borrowed during the six-month period ended June 30, 2019 is non-interest bearing unsecured, and due on demand.
The Company has paid Jose Capote consulting fees for acting as the Company’s Secretary and Vice President in the amount of $9,000 and $9,000 during the six-months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, respectively.

The Company has paid New Asia Momentum Pte Ltd. $35,085 and $23,867 during the six-months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, respectively.
In November 2015, Magdallen Quant Pte Ltd. (“MQL”), the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a Software License Agreement with NAML, a Company owned and controlled by NAHD's Chairman and CEO, Dr. Lin Kok Peng. In consideration of MQL's performance, NAML has agreed to pay MQL in accordance with the following provisions:
8

oIf the asset under management from all End Users exceed US $10 million, MQL's fees shall be separately agreed on between MQL and NAML, and if MQL and NAML are unable to agree on such apportionment, MQL shall still be entitled to fifteen percent (15%) only of the profits from the End Users' accounts;
oOn every anniversary date of the MQL Agreement, parties will review the performance of the Licensed Software and may by mutual agreement between MQL and NAML vary the license fee.
(ii) Time & Material Fees: The charges for performance of any T&M tasks due to Work Orders will be billed monthly for charges incurred in the previous monthly period and are due and payable within thirty (30) days of the date of the invoice.

NAML paid MQL a total of $0 and $76 in related party service revenue during the six-months June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, respectively.
Note 5: Commitments and Contingencies

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by, the consolidated unaudited financial statements and notes thereto included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This item contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those indicated in such forward-looking statements.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the documents incorporated herein by reference contain forward-looking. Such forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates, and projections about our industry, management beliefs, and certain assumptions made by our management. Words such as "anticipates,” "expects,” "intends,” "plans,” "believes,” "seeks,” "estimates,” variations of such words, and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that are difficult to predict; therefore, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in any such forward-looking statements. Unless required by law, we undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. However, readers should carefully review the risk factors set forth in other reports and documents that we file from time to time with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), particularly the Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and any Current Reports on Form 8-K.
Executive Overview
After the change in control in December 2014, we have focused on developing highly advanced, proprietary, neural trading models for the financial community. It has been our belief that our state-of-the-art, trainable, algorithms in our models will emulate aspects of the human brain, providing our algorithms with a self-training ability to formalize unclassified information and thus develop an enhanced ability to make forecasts based on the historical information and other data available at their disposal. Our neural networks do not make forecasts. Instead, they analyze price data and uncover opportunities. Using our proprietary neural network, trade decisions are made based on thoroughly analyzed data (which is not generally possible when using traditional technical analysis methods).
On August 28, 2015, the Company completed the acquisition of Magdallen Quant Pte Ltd. (“MQL”), which is focused on the research, development and deployment of advanced, proprietary, state-of-the-art, trainable trading algorithms. The acquisition was accomplished through a share exchange with Mr. Anthony Ng Zi Qin of 7,422,000 new restricted shares ("Consideration Shares") of common stock of the Company, at a market value of $0.41 per share, with an aggregate fair value of $3,043,020 in exchange for 100% of the issued and outstanding capital of MQL, held by Mr. Anthony Ng Zi Qin, consisting of 8,000,100 shares of stock issued at par value of SGD$1.00 per share, or $0.714, on the acquisition date, on December 12, 2017, consistent with an addendum to the original Share Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) signed on November 10, 2017, the Company issued an additional 3,339,900 shares of the Company’s common stock to Mr. Qin in full satisfaction of the contingent liability as had been set forth in the original SPA, as amended.
We offer trading software solutions to clients on the basis of a "Software as a Service (SaaS)" licensing and delivery models with licensed users availing themselves of service-based contractual arrangements. Our proprietary trading models have been developed by a team of professional engineers in communications, electronic circuitry design and financial engineering. Our systems take intelligent positions as the market moves/changes. Our proprietary algorithmic trading systems can generate superior, risk adjustable, returns for our clients.
We began offering a series of "next-generation" tools that can detect subtle non-linear interdependencies and patterns that other methods of technical analysis are unable to uncover to retail clients through our exclusive licensee, NAML, as of mid-2017, the Company decided to focus on offering our algorithms to the regulated banks and funds and NAML terminated the retail trading platform. The focus on the regulated bank and fund model was initiated in 2017 with the launch of the Feuris Fund A with Assets Under Management (“AUM”) of approximately $6.67 million. Since the adoption of the regulated fund and bank models, the risk profiles required by these regulated funds and banks reflects a lower level of risk, which has resulted in significantly reduced frequency of trading activities over the last several quarters. The Company still continues to improve its products and, coupled the self-learning capabilities of the algorithms the Company is doing its best to provide the basis for improved performance in the coming quarters, however, there is no guarantees that such product improvements will translate to improved financial performance. The Company and its licensee had been pursuing additional partnerships agreements with regulated funds for the use of our proprietary trainable trading algorithms, however, as of June 30 2019, no new partnerships had yet been finalized.

Results of Operations
Three Months Ended June 30, 2019 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2018
We had no revenue during for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Any generated revenues would have resulted from fees received from the Company's licensee, NAML, a company owned and controlled by the Company’s Chairman and CEO. As discussed above, the Company continues to focus on expansion into the regulated fund and bank model. As of June 30, 2019, and as discussed above, due to market conditions that impact trading frequencies and volumes, the Company has yet to receive any significant license fees from the Feuris Fund based on the performance of the algorithms. Furthermore, future revenues are also not expected to be uniform and will demonstrate significant variation from month to month as they reflect variations related to trading volumes and trading performance, accrual of management fees, etc.
Operating expenses were $42,447 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 consisting of $21,116 of general and administrative expenses, $8,400 of outside service expenses and $12,931 of professional fees. This compares with operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2018 of $39,965 consisting of $21,361 of general and administrative expenses, $8,400 of outside service expenses and $10,204 of professional fees. The operating expenses for the three month period ended June 30, 2019 were slightly higher than the corresponding operating expenses at June 30, 2018 because professional fees were slightly higher. As a result of the foregoing, we had a net loss from operations of $42,447 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $39,965 for the three months ended June 30, 2018.
We expect to incur operating losses through the balance of this year because we will be incurring expenses and may not generate sufficient revenues. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in generating sufficient revenues or other funds in the future to cover these operating costs. We expect to cover such shortfall in operating margins through advances from our principal shareholder and other fundraising measures that the Company deems appropriate.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2018
We had related party revenue of $0 and $76 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Revenues resulted from fees received from the Company's licensee, NAML, a company owned and controlled by the Company’s Chairman and CEO. As discussed above, the Company continues to focus on expansion into the regulated fund and bank model. As of June 30, 2019, and as discussed above, due to market conditions that impact trading frequencies and volumes, the Company has yet to receive any significant license fees from the Feuris Fund based on the performance of the algorithms. Furthermore, future revenues are also not expected to be uniform and will demonstrate significant variation from month to month as they reflect variations related to trading volumes and trading performance, accrual of management fees, etc.
Operating expenses were $100,548 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 consisting of $51,909 of general and administrative expenses, $16,800 of outside service expenses and $31,839 of professional fees. This compares with operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2018 of $82,973 consisting of $39,943 of general and administrative expenses, $16,800 of outside service expenses and $26,230 of professional fees. The operating expenses for the six month period ended at June 30, 2019 were slightly higher than the corresponding operating expenses at June 30, 2018 because professional fees were slightly higher. As a result of the foregoing, we had a net loss from operations of $100,548 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $82,897 for the six months ended June 30, 2018.
We expect to incur operating losses through the balance of this year because we will be incurring expenses and may not generate sufficient revenues. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in generating sufficient revenues or other funds in the future to cover these operating costs. We expect to cover such shortfall in operating margins through advances from our principal shareholder and other fundraising measures that the Company deems appropriate.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We had cash in the amount of $31,036 and $28,617 at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. To date we have funded our operations from advances from our principal shareholder, New Asia Holdings, Ltd. (“NAHL”), an entity of which Dr. Lin Kok Peng, our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chairman, has voting and dispositive control.
We do not have sufficient capital to sustain our operations for the next 12 months. We will continue to rely on advances from NAHL, an affiliate and our principal shareholder, as well as from other sources of financing, including private placements of our common shares in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to existing stockholders. There is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of the equity
11
securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund our operations and other activities. We do not have any oral or written agreements with NAHL which would require NAHL them to fund our operations.
During the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, NAHL advanced an aggregate of $94,913 to the Company. The total advances due are $806,452 and $711,539 from NAHL as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. As of September 30, 2018, $465,594 of the advances constitute unsecured interest-free loans to the Company. The advances were supposed to have been repaid by the close of business on October 31, 2016. In 2016, however, the Company and NAHL agreed that if the Company was unable to repay these advances by such date, NAHL, at its sole discretion, would have the option to extend the repayment deadline or convert all or a portion of the above advances into common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $0.02 per share. As of June 30, 2019, NAHL had not exercised its option to convert the advances into shares of common stock, thus the total of $806,452 in advances presently remain as an unsecured interest-free loan to the Company. The $94,913 borrowed during the six-month period ended June 30, 2019 is non-interest bearing unsecured, and due on demand.
We expect to incur losses and negative operating cash flows for the foreseeable future and may never become profitable. We also expect to continue to incur significant operating and capital expenditures for the next several years and anticipate that our expenses will increase substantially in the foreseeable future. We also expect to experience negative cash flow for the foreseeable future as we fund our operating losses and capital expenditures.
As a result, we will need to generate significant revenues in order to achieve and maintain profitability. We may not be able to generate these revenues or achieve profitability in the future. Our failure to achieve or maintain profitability could negatively impact the value of our common stock.
We have no agreements to obtain funds through bank loans, lines of credit or any other traditional sources. Since we have no financing committed, our inability to realize financing to maintain operations and grow our business would materially restrict our business operations. Future financing may not be available upon acceptable terms, or at all. Should we be successful in securing future financing, new issuances of equity or convertible debt (i) would dilute our current shareholders, possibly significantly, (ii) might require a significant increase to our authorized stock, and (iii)_might have rights, preferences, or privileges senior to our common or preferred stock. If financing is not available to us on favorable terms, such severe limitation might cause us to consider another consolidation of existing common equity at any time as a means to attract financing and maintain our business.
Due to the uncertainty of our ability to meet our current operating and capital expenses and the fact that we have suffered recurring losses from operations and have a net capital deficiency, in their report on our audited annual financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. Recurring losses from operations raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The presence of the going concern explanatory paragraph may have an adverse impact on the relationships we are developing and plan to develop with third parties as we continue the commercialization of our products and could make it challenging and difficult for us to raise additional financing, all of which could have a material adverse impact on our business and prospects and result in a significant or complete loss of your investment

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements 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 stockholders.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenue and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition. We believe our use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and are not required to provide the information under this item.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by our company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management conducted an evaluation as of June 30, 2019, with the participation of Mr. Lin Kok Peng, who is our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2019, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the size and nature of the existing business operations. Given the size of our current operations and existing personnel, the opportunity to implement internal control procedures that segregate accounting duties and responsibilities is limited. Until the organization can increase in size to warrant an increase in personnel, formal internal control procedures will not be implemented until they can be effectively executed and monitored. As a result of the size of the current organization, there will not be significant levels of supervision, review, independent directors nor a formal audit committee.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
We know of no material, existing or pending legal proceedings against our company, nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any material proceeding or pending litigation. There are no proceedings in which our director, officer or any affiliates, or any registered or beneficial shareholder of more than 5% of our outstanding common stock, is an adverse party or has a material interest averse to our interest.
