(Unaudited)
NOTE – 1 BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with both accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in audited financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading.
In the opinion of management, the consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2018 which has been derived from audited financial statements and these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments considered necessary to state fairly the results for the periods presented. The results for the period ended December 31, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year ending March 31, 2019 or for any future period.
NOTE – 2 DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION
Noble Vici Group, Inc. (the “Company”), formerly known as Gold Union Inc., was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on July 6, 2010 under the name of Advanced Ventures Corp. Effective January 6, 2014, the Company changed its name to “Gold Union Inc.” Effective March 26, 2018, the Company changed its current name, Noble Vici Group, Inc (“NVGI”).
On August 8, 2018, the Company executed a Share Exchange Agreement (“the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with Noble Vici Private Limited, a corporation organized under the laws of Singapore (“NVPL”), and Eldee Tang, the sole shareholder, Chief Executive Officer and Director of NVPL. Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company purchased all of the issued and outstanding shares of the NVPL, representing 1,000,001 ordinary shares of NVPL, in exchange for 140,000,000 shares of its common stock. The Company consummated the acquisition of NVPL on August 8, 2018. The Company relied on the exemption from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of, and Regulation D and/or Regulation S promulgated under the Act in selling the Company’s securities to the shareholder of NVPL.
Prior to the acquisition, the Company was considered a shell company due to its nominal assets and limited operations. Upon the acquisition, NVPL comprised the ongoing operations of the combined entity and its senior management served as the senior management of the combined entity. NVPL was deemed to be the accounting acquirer for accounting purposes. The transaction was treated as a recapitalization of the Company. Accordingly, the consolidated assets, liabilities and results of operations of the Company became the historical financial statements of NVPL, and the Company’s assets, liabilities and results of operations were consolidated with NVPL beginning on the acquisition date. NVPL was the legal acquiree but deemed to be the accounting acquirer. The Company was the legal acquirer but deemed to be the accounting acquiree in the reverse merger. The historical financial statements prior to the acquisition are those of the accounting acquirer (NVPL). Historical stockholders’ equity of the accounting acquirer prior to the merger are retroactively restated (a recapitalization) for the equivalent number of shares received in the merger. Operations prior to the merger are those of the acquirer. After completion of the share exchange transaction, the Company’s consolidated financial statements include the assets and liabilities, the operations and cash flow of the accounting acquirer.
The Company is currently engaged in the IoT, Big Data, Blockchain and E-commerce business.

NOTE – 3 GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTIES
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
From its inception, the Company has suffered from continuous losses with an accumulated deficit of $44,797,552 as of December 31, 2018 and experienced negative cash flows from operations. The continuation of the Company as a going concern through December 31, 2019 is dependent upon the continued financial support from its stockholders. Management believes the Company is currently pursuing additional financing for its operations. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in securing sufficient funds to sustain the operations.
These and other factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets and liabilities that may result in the Company not being able to continue as a going concern.

NOTE – 4 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the application of certain significant accounting policies as described in this note and elsewhere in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes.
· | Basis of presentation |
These accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).
· | Basis of consolidation |
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions within the Company have been eliminated upon consolidation.
· | Use of estimates and assumptions |
In preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the balance sheet and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
· | Cash and cash equivalents |
Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost and represent cash on hand, demand deposits placed with banks or other financial institutions and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less as of the purchase date of such investments.
· | Intangible assets |
Intangible assets represented the acquired game right from a related party, which are stated at acquisition cost, less accumulated amortization. The Company amortizes its intangible assets with definite lives over their estimated useful lives and reviews these assets for impairment when an indicator for potential impairment exists. The Company is currently amortizing its intangible assets with definite lives over periods of 3 years.
· | Property, plant and equipment |
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis over the following expected useful lives from the date on which they become fully operational and after taking into account their estimated residual values:
Expected useful lives | |||
Building | 40 years | ||
Leasehold improvements | 3 years or lesser than term of lease | ||
Furniture and fittings | 3 years | ||
Office equipment and computers | 1- 3 years | ||
Motor vehicle | 2 years |
Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. When assets have been retired or sold, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in the results of operations.

(Unaudited)
· | Impairment of long-lived assets |
In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 360-10-5, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, the Company reviews its long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment, as well as intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable or that useful lives are no longer appropriate. If the total of the expected undiscounted future net cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, a loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and carrying amount of the asset. There has been no impairment charge as of December 31, 2018.
· | Revenue recognition |
Revenue is recognized when it is realized or realizable and earned, in accordance with ASC 605 Revenue Recognition (“ASC 605”). Revenue from the sale of products is recognised when all of the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services have been performed; (3) the seller’s price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Product sales are recorded net of good and service taxes and product returns.
The Company records revenues from the sales of third-party products on a “gross” basis pursuant to ASC 605-45 Revenue Recognition - Principal Agent Considerations, when we are the primary obligor in the arrangement with the end customer and have the risks and rewards as principal in the transaction, such as responsibility for fulfillment, retaining the risk for collection, and establishing the price of the products. If these indicators have not been met, or if indicators of net revenue reporting specified in ASC 605-45 are present in the arrangement, revenue is recognized net of related direct costs.
The liability “deferred revenue” represents the products are not collected by the customers, which will be earned as revenues when the collection is completed.
· | Commission credits |
The Company maintains a membership program, whereby certain members earn commission credits, based on the sales volume of certain other members who are sponsored directly or indirectly by the member. Commission credits are redeemable on future spending of the products purchased or playing online games. Commission credits are recorded and classified as operating expense when the products are delivered and revenue is recognized. The estimated liability for unredeemed commission credit is included in commission liability on the accompanying balance sheets. Management reviews the adequacy for the accrual for unredeemed commission credits by periodically evaluating the historical redemption and projected trends.
· | Income taxes |
The Company adopted the ASC 740 Income tax provisions of paragraph 740-10-25-13, which addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the consolidated financial statements. Under paragraph 740-10-25-13, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent (50%) likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Paragraph 740-10-25-13 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. The Company had no material adjustments to its liabilities for unrecognized income tax benefits according to the provisions of paragraph 740-10-25-13.
The estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities are reported in the accompanying balance sheets, as well as tax credit carry-backs and carry-forwards. The Company periodically reviews the recoverability of deferred tax assets recorded on its balance sheets and provides valuation allowances as management deems necessary.

The Company did not take any uncertain tax positions and had no adjustments to its income tax liabilities or benefits pursuant to the ASC 740 provisions of Section 740-10-25 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.
· | Finance leases |
Leases that transfer substantially all the rewards and risks of ownership to the lessee, other than legal title, are accounted for as finance leases. Substantially all of the risks or benefits of ownership are deemed to have been transferred if any one of the four criteria is met: (i) transfer of ownership to the lessee at the end of the lease term, (ii) the lease containing a bargain purchase option, (iii) the lease term exceeding 75% of the estimated economic life of the leased asset, (iv) the present value of the minimum lease payments exceeding 90% of the fair value. At the inception of a finance lease, the Company as the lessee records an asset and an obligation at an amount equal to the present value of the minimum lease payments. The leased asset is amortized over the shorter of the lease term or its estimated useful life if title does not transfer to the Company, while the leased asset is depreciated in accordance with the Company’s depreciation policy if the title is to eventually transfer to the Company. The periodic rent payments made during the lease term are allocated between a reduction in the obligation and interest element using the effective interest method in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 835-30, “Imputation of Interest”.
· | Foreign currencies translation |
Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the consolidated statement of operations.
The reporting currency of the Company is United States Dollar ("US$") and the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been expressed in US$. In addition, the Company’s operating subsidiaries in Singapore and Seychelles maintain their books and record in its local currency, Singapore Dollars (“S$”), which is a functional currency as being the primary currency of the economic environment in which their operations are conducted. In general, for consolidation purposes, assets and liabilities of its subsidiaries whose functional currency is not US$ are translated into US$, in accordance with ASC Topic 830-30, “Translation of Financial Statement”, using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the year. The gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the statements of changes in stockholder’s equity.
Translation of amounts from S$ into US$1 has been made at the following exchange rates for the period ended December 31, 2018 and 2017:
December 31, 2018 | December 31, 2017 | |||||||
Period-end S$:US$1 exchange rate | 1.3632 | 1.3365 | ||||||
Period average S$:US$1 exchange rate | 1.3588 | 1.3686 |
· | Comprehensive income |
ASC Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income”, establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income as defined includes all changes in equity during a period from non-owner sources. Accumulated other comprehensive income, as presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity, consists of changes in unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency translation. This comprehensive income is not included in the computation of income tax expense or benefit.

· | Segment reporting |
ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting” establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments on a basis consistent with the Company’s internal organization structure as well as information about geographical areas, business segments and major customers in consolidated financial statements. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company operates in one reportable operating segment in Singapore and Asian Region.
· | Related parties |
The Company follows the ASC 850-10, Related Party for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.
Pursuant to section 850-10-20 the related parties include a) affiliates of the Company; b) entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of section 825–10–15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; c) trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and Income-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; d) principal owners of the Company; e) management of the Company; f) 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; and g) other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.
The consolidated financial statements shall include disclosures of material related party transactions, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business. However, disclosure of transactions that are eliminated in the preparation of consolidated or combined financial statements is not required in those statements. The disclosures shall include: a) the nature of the relationship(s) involved; b) a description of the transactions, including transactions to which no amounts or nominal amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods for which income statements are presented, and such other information deemed necessary to an understanding of the effects of the transactions on the consolidated financial statements; c) the dollar amounts of transactions for each of the periods for which income statements are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms from that used in the preceding period; and d) amount due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented and, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement.
· | Commitments and contingencies |
The Company follows the ASC 450-20, Commitments to report accounting for contingencies. Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or un-asserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or un-asserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.
If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.
Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed. Management does not believe, based upon information available at this time that these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, there is no assurance that such matters will not materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial position, and results of operations or cash flows.

· | Fair value of financial instruments |
The Company follows paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and has adopted paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”) to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification are described below:
Level 1 | Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. | |
Level 2 | Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. | |
Level 3 | Pricing inputs that are generally observable inputs and not corroborated by market data. |
Financial assets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.
The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and cash equivalents, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.
· | Recent accounting pronouncements |
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases. The main difference between the provisions of ASU No. 2016-02 and previous U.S. GAAP is the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous U.S. GAAP. ASU No. 2016-02 retains a distinction between finance leases and operating leases, and the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee have not significantly changed from previous U.S. GAAP. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. The accounting applied by a lessor is largely unchanged from that applied under previous U.S. GAAP. In transition, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, which provides for the election of transition methods between the modified retrospective method and the optional transition relief method. The modified retrospective method is applied to all prior reporting periods presented with a cumulative-effect adjustment recorded in the earliest comparative period while the optional transition relief method is applied beginning in the period of adoption with a cumulative-effect adjustment recorded in the first quarter of 2019. This ASU is effective for public business entities in fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company will adopt this standard when it becomes effective, on January 1, 2019, and expects to elect the optional transition relief method.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Credit Losses, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU No. 2016-13 significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The standard will replace today’s incurred loss approach with an expected loss model for instruments measured at amortized cost. Entities will apply the standard’s provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. This ASU is effective for public entities for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for all entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods therein. The Company has not yet determined the impact this standard will have on its financial statements and related disclosures.
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-08, Receivables—Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs: Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. This ASU amends current US GAAP to shorten the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities held at a premium to the earliest call date. This standard will replace today's yield-to-maturity approach, which generally requires amortization of premium over the life of the instrument. This ASU is effective for public entities for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of any interim or annual reporting period. The Company does not expect it to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements and related disclosures.
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. This guidance allows companies to reclassify items in accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the H.R.1, “An Act to Provide for Reconciliation Pursuant to Titles II and V of the Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal Year 2018” (the “Tax Act”) (previously known as “The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act”). This ASU is effective for all entities for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. Companies may apply the guidance in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period in which the income tax effects of the Tax Act related to items in accumulated other comprehensive income are recognized. The Company does not expect it to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements and related disclosures.
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation - Stock Compensation: Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. ASU 2018-07 aligns the accounting for share-based payment awards issued to employees and nonemployees. Measurement of equity-classified nonemployee awards will now be valued on the grant date and will no longer be remeasured through the performance completion date. This amendment also changes the accounting for nonemployee awards with performance conditions to recognize compensation cost when achievement of the performance condition is probable, rather than upon achievement of the performance condition, as well as eliminating the requirement to reassess the equity or liability classification for nonemployee awards upon vesting, except for certain award types. This ASU is effective for public entities for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of any interim or annual reporting period. When adopted, the new guidance should be applied to all new grants and other transition provisions are included in the guidance to simplify this adoption for most companies. The Company does not expect it to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements and related disclosures.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. As part of the FASB's disclosure framework project, it has eliminated, amended and added disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. Entities will no longer be required to disclose the amount of, and reasons for, transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the policy of timing of transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy and the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. Public companies will be required to disclose the range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements. This ASU is effective for public entities for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of any interim or annual reporting period. This ASU will have an impact on the Company's disclosures.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-14, Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans. As part of the FASB's disclosure framework project, it has changed the disclosure requirements for defined pension and other post-retirement benefit plans. The FASB eliminated disclosure requirements related to the amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income expected to be recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost over the next fiscal year, the amount and timing of plan assets expected to be returned to the employer, if any, information related to Japanese Welfare Pension Insurance Law, information about the amount of future annual benefits covered by insurance contracts and significant transactions between the employer or related parties and the plan, and the disclosure of the effects of a one-percentage-point change in the assumed health care cost trend rates on the (1) aggregate of the service and interest cost components of net periodic benefit costs and the (2) benefit obligation for postretirement health care benefits. Entities will be required to disclose the weighted-average interest crediting rate for cash balance plans and other plans with promised interest crediting rates as well as an explanation of the reasons for significant gains and losses related to changes in the benefit obligation for the period. This ASU is effective for public entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of any annual reporting period. This ASU will have an impact on the Company's disclosures.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract. This ASU requires companies to defer specified implementation costs in a cloud computing arrangement that are often expensed under current US GAAP and recognize these costs to expense over the noncancelable term of the arrangement. This ASU is effective for public entities for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of any interim or annual reporting period. The Company does not expect it to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements and related disclosures.
Recently Issued Financial Reporting Rules
In August 2018, the SEC adopted the final rule under SEC Release 33-10532, Disclosure Update and Simplification, which amended its rules to eliminate, modify, or integrate into other SEC requirements certain disclosure rules. The amendments are part of the SEC’s ongoing disclosure effectiveness initiative. The amendments eliminate redundant and duplicative requirements including, but not limited to, the ratio of earnings to fixed charges, outdated regulatory disclosures, certain accounting policies about derivative instruments and specific SEC disclosures that are also required under current US GAAP. The amendments may expand current disclosures for certain companies, specifically the requirement to disclose the change in stockholders' equity for the current and comparative quarter and year-to-date interim periods. The amended rules will become effective November 5, 2018 and will be applied to any filings after that date. On September 25, 2018, the SEC released guidance advising it will not object to a registrant adopting the requirement to include changes in stockholders’ equity in the Form 10-Q for the first quarter beginning after the effective date of the rule. The Company does not expect these final rules to have a material impact on its disclosures and financial statements.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 became effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2018. See Note 2: Revenue for further discussion, including the impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements and required disclosures.
In February 2017, the FASB issued No. ASU 2017-05, Other Income—Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets: Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets. ASU 2017-05 was issued to provide clarity on the scope and application for recognizing gains and losses from the sale or transfer of nonfinancial assets, and should be adopted concurrently with ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This ASU became effective for public entities for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2018. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.

This ASU became effective for public entities for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2018. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.

This ASU became effective for public entities for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2018. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.
In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, Income Taxes: Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory. ASU No. 2016-16 requires entities to account for the income tax effects of intercompany sales and transfers of assets other than inventory when the transfer occurs rather than current guidance which requires companies to defer the income tax effects of intercompany transfers of an asset until the asset has been sold to an outside party or otherwise recognized. This ASU became effective for public entities for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2018. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows - Restricted Cash. ASU No. 2016-18 requires entities to show the changes in the total of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. When cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents are presented in more than one line item on the balance sheet, a reconciliation of the totals in the statement of cash flows to the related captions in the balance sheet is required. This ASU became effective for public entities for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations: Clarifying the Definition of a Business. ASU No. 2017-01 most significantly revises guidance specific to the definition of a business related to accounting for acquisitions. Additionally, ASU No. 2017-01 also affects other areas of US GAAP, such as the definition of a business related to the consolidation of variable interest entities, the consolidation of a subsidiary or group of assets, components of an operating segment, and disposals of reporting units and the impact on goodwill. This ASU became effective for public entities for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2018. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.
In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, Compensation—Retirement Benefits: Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost. ASU 2017-07 requires sponsors of benefit plans to present the service cost component of net periodic benefit cost in the same income statement line or items as other employee costs and present the remaining components of net periodic benefit cost in one or more separate line items outside of income from operations. This ASU also limits the capitalization of benefit costs to only the service cost component. This ASU became effective for public entities for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2018.

The Company’s interest-rate risk arises from borrowings under finance lease. The Company manages interest rate risk by varying the issuance and maturity dates variable rate debt, limiting the amount of variable rate debt, and continually monitoring the effects of market changes in interest rates. As of December 31, 2018, borrowing under finance lease was at fixed rates.
(d) Economic and political risk
The Company’s major operations are conducted in Republic of Singapore. Accordingly, the political, economic, and legal environments in Singapore, as well as the general state of Singapore’s economy may influence the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations.
(e) Exchange rate risk
The Company cannot guarantee that the current exchange rate will remain steady; therefore there is a possibility that the Company could post the same amount of profit for two comparable periods and because of the fluctuating exchange rate actually post higher or lower profit depending on exchange rate of S$ converted to US$ on that date. The exchange rate could fluctuate depending on changes in political and economic environments without notice.

Overview
We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on July 6, 2010 under the name “Advanced Ventures Corp.” Effective January 6, 2014, we changed our name to “Gold Union Inc.” Effective March 26, 2018, we changed our name to Noble Vici Group, Inc. and our trading symbol was changed to NVGI. On August 8, 2018, we consummated the acquisition of Noble Vici Private Limited, a corporation organized under the laws of Singapore (“NVPL”), which was wholly owned by Eldee Tang, our sole director and Chief Executive Officer. NVPL is engaged in the IoT, Big Data, Blockchain and E-commerce business. As a result of our acquisition of NVPL, we entered into the IoT, Big Data, Blockchain and E-commerce business. We are headquartered in Singapore and operate a branch office in Taiwan. Certain of our resellers are operating “V-More” branded satellite offices in Shenzhen, China.
History
On July 27, 2010, we entered into an exclusive worldwide patent sale agreement (the “Patent Transfer and Sales Agreement”) with Ilanit Appelfeld (the “Seller”), in relation to a patented technology, U.S. Patent Number: 6,743,209 (the “Patent”), for a catheter with a integral anchoring mechanism. The patent and technology were transferred to us in exchange of payment to Ilanit Appelfeld of $17,500 (seventeen thousand five hundred United States Dollars), according to the terms and conditions specified in the Patent Transfer and Sales Agreement related to U.S. Patent Number: 6,743,209.
During the second quarter of 2011 the Company raised gross proceeds of $75,000 pursuant to an effective Form S-1 Registration Statement and issued 37,500,000 post forward stock split shares of common stock that were registered pursuant to the Form S-1 Registration Statement.
Effective March 7, 2012, we increased the number of our authorized shares of common stock to three billion shares (3,000,000,000) and engaged in a forward stock split of its common shares whereby each one share of our common stock was split into fifteen shares of our common stock.
25 |
During the second fiscal quarter of 2014, we elected to discontinue our business of exploiting the Patent and began to consider other business opportunities that may bring quicker and greater value to our stockholders. We initially considered entering into the business of trading precious metal bullion primarily in the Asia Pacific region. Therefore, effective January 6, 2014, we changed our name to “Gold Union Inc.” to more adequately reflect our initial intended business operations.
On December 31, 2015, we consummated a Share Exchange Agreement with G.U. International Limited, a limited company incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Seychelles and our wholly owned subsidiary (“GUI”), and Kao Wei-Chen, an individual representing herself and 8 other individuals (collectively, the “Golden Corridor Shareholders”), which agreement was amended several times to extend the closing date of the acquisition (collectively, the “Share Exchange Agreement”). Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, we, through GUI, purchased 480 shares of Phnom Penh Golden Corridor Trading Co. Limited (the “GC Shares”), from 9 private Golden Corridor Shareholders, representing 48% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Golden Corridor. As consideration, we issued to the Golden Corridor Shareholders 2,500,000,000 shares of our common stock, at a value of US $0.002 per share, for an aggregate value of US $5,000,000.
As a result of our acquisition of the GC Shares, we ceased our metal bullion trading business and entered into the real estate development and rental business located in the Kingdom of Cambodia. Golden Corridor owns three parcels of land located at National Road 44, Phum Phkung, Chbarmorn Commune, Chbarmorn District, Kampong Speu Province, Kingdom of Cambodia, measuring an aggregate of 172,510 square meters (collectively, the “Properties”). We intended to develop the Properties into an industrial park for rental income.
Due to difficulties in entering the real estate development and rental business, on February 2, 2018, we engaged in a corporate reorganization and distributed the GC Shares to our shareholders. On March 18, 2018, our subsidiary, G.U. Asia Limited was dissolved.
Change in Control
On March 27, 2018, Lim Yew Chuan, the director, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary of Noble Vici Group, Inc. (the “Company”), resigned from all of his positions as director, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary of the Company. Mr. Lim’s decision to leave the Board and his executive officer positions with the Company is due to personal reasons and not due to any dispute or disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company's operations, policies or practices.
Effective March 27, 2018, the following individuals were appointed to serve in the capacities set forth next to their names until his successor(s) shall be duly elected or appointed, unless he resigns, is removed from office or is otherwise disqualified from serving as an executive officer or director of the Company:

On June 15, 2018, the Company effectuated a 1 for 1,000 reverse stock split whereby every 1,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were reduced to one share. The parties effectuated Mr. Tang’s purchase of 750,000 shares such securities (expressed on a post reverse split basis) effective June 15, 2018. Mr. Tang expects to purchase the balance of the 925,000 shares from Kao Wei-Chen, a former affiliate of the Company, in the near future.

Our principal corporate office is located at 1 Raffles Place, #33-02, One Raffles Place Tower One, Singapore 048616. On October 1, 2018, we purchased a building subject to a sixty year leasehold located at 45 Ubi Crescent, Singapore 408590 to serve as our primary operational center. The four story building is approximately 13,000 square feet with a remaining lease term of thirty eight years. The purchase price of S$4,480,000 (approximately US$3,295,819) was financed by a loan with Ethoz Capital Limited in the principal amount of S$3,136,000 (approximately US$2,307,073) at an annual rate of 3.75%, payable over 120 months commencing October 1, 2018. The loan is personally guaranteed by our Chief Executive Officer and Director, Eldee Tang. The foregoing description of the loan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Secured Term Loan Facility dated September 14, 2018, which is filed as Exhibit 10.4 to this Quarterly Report and incorporated herein by reference.
On January 19, 2019, we opened a branch office in Taiwan to service merchants and customers of our online platform, V-more, located within the Greater China Region. Our Taiwan branch office also oversees the operations of a V-More branded office located in China and operated by one of our sales affiliates. The Taiwan branch office is currently operated through our subsidiary VESG. The Taiwan branch office is a party to a lease agreement, a summary of which is as follows:
Name of Branch | Ventrepreneur (SG) Private Limited, Taiwan Branch |
Office Address | 282 Zheng Bei Road 2, Level 5 Unit 3, Xitun District, Taichung, Taiwan |
Tenancy Period | December 1, 2018 to November 30, 2020 |
Premises Size | Approximately 3,000 square feet |
Yearly Lease Amount | US$37,473 for Taiwan branch |
In addition to our Taiwan office and China affiliate office, certain of our sales affiliates also operate additional V-More branded affiliate offices in the following regions: Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia. We are in the process of memorializing the terms of operations of these affiliate offices and hope to conclude this process in the near future.
Intellectual Property
We continue to own the rights, title and interests in Patent for a receptacle catheter with integral anchoring means, which Patent is associated with our former business. The Patent was issued on September 1, 2004 and will expire on September 6, 2022. We do not expect to exploit these Patents in the near future.

Net Revenue. We generated net revenue of $1,207,151 and $829,991 for the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. For the three months ended December 31, 2017, 74% of our net revenues were derived from sales of mobile games. The balance of the net revenues consisted primarily of sale of Cerfrion. For the three months ended December 31, 2018, 91% of our net revenues were attributable to sales of our Cerfrion and Cordyceps. The balance of net revenues consisted of mainly of administrative charges income, service income and V-More, our e-commerce platform.
In the near future, we expect to continue to generate revenue from sales of Cordyceps and Cerfrion products. On a going forward basis, we expect to generate revenue from our blockchain e-commerce platform as well as any products that we distribute directly such as future mobile games, Cerfrion and Cordyceps, among others.
For the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the following geographic regions accounted for 10% or more of our total net revenues:
Country | December 31, 2018 | December 31, 2017 | ||||||
Singapore | 1% | 74% | ||||||
Greater China Region | 91% | 0% | ||||||
Rest of the World | 8% | 26% | ||||||
Total | 100% | 100% |
For the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, no customers accounted for 10% or more of our total net revenues.
Key Performance Indicators: Gross Cash Receipts, Supplier Product & Logistics Allowance and Commission Payout
In addition to Net Revenue, we focus on several non-GAAP key performance indicators to assist us in assessing the strength of product sales and our supply chain across different geographical regions: Gross Cash Receipts, Supplier Product & Logistics Allowance, and Commission Payout.
“Gross Cash Receipts” means proceeds actually received from products sold. This is a non-GAAP indicator that does not correlate to gross revenue and may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies.
“Undelivered items” refers to products sold for which we have received payment but have not yet been delivered to the purchaser. This is a non-GAAP indicator on which we rely to assess the strength and performance of our supply chain, product delivery obligations, product trends and the like.
“Supplier Product & Logistics Allowances” means the fees and costs that we pay to the applicable product supplier to manufacture, package and ship our products to our end customer. This is a non-GAAP indicator on which we rely to determine the cost of manufacturing, packaging and delivering our products.
“Commission Payout” refers to the commission payments that we make to resellers of our products.
The criteria we use to determine how and when we recognize the foregoing key performance indicators are not identical to our revenue recognition policies under U.S. GAAP. By way of example, unlike net sales, which are generally recognized when the product is delivered and both the title and risk and rewards pass to the buyer, as discussed in greater detail in Note 3, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the Consolidated Financial Statements, we recognize Gross Cash Receipts when we receive funds from the buyer, which is generally prior to the product being delivered to the buyer.
The following describes the relationship between our key performance indicators and US GAAP reporting:
Three Months Ended December 31, | ||||||||
2018 | 2017 | |||||||
Gross Cash Receipts | $ | 8,808,023 | $ | 742,268 | ||||

30 |
For the three months ended December 31, 2018, our Gross Cash Receipts net of sales returns was $8,808,023, representing a substantial increase from $742,268 for the same period ended 2017. This was attributed to change in product mix from mobile gaming to increased sale of Cordyceps in China. As supplier had fulfilled the last quarter demand, we have yet to deliver $1,840,007 of product.
Our Supplier Product & Logistics Allowances for the three months ended December 31, 2018 was $2,601,521 whereas there is no associated cost for the same period in 2017. The increase in Supplier Product & Logistics Allowance was attributable to the sale of Cordyceps in China which are primarily distributed through Resellers, as compared to same period ended December 31, 2017, where most of the sales were attributed to mobile games which are distributed by us directly, for which reseller commissions are lower.
Commission Payout for the three months ended December 31, 2018 was $3,302,601 as compared to only $254 for the three months ended December 31, 2017. The increase in Commission Payout was due to a change in product mix.
For the three months ended December 31, 2018, other sales of $143,257 consisted mainly of service fee income, subscription proceeds and V-More income as compared to $87,977 for the same period of 2017 where other sales consisted of primarily of share revenue income.
Gross Profit. We achieved a gross loss of $188,975 and gross profit of $559,357 for the three months ended December 31, 2018, and 2017, respectively. The decrease in gross profit is primarily attributable to the higher commission payouts on non-Cordyceps related products.
Operating Expenses. During the three months ended December 31, 2018, and 2017, we incurred operating expenses (excluding stock based compensation) of $1,116,949 and $374,649 respectively. The increase in operating expenses is primarily attributable to an increase in our manpower resources to support our increased business and increased professional fees incurred in connection with being a smaller reporting company. During the three months ended December 31, 2018, our Taiwan branch, which is also overseeing the operation in China has engaged the services of a group of China promoters to promote V-More brand and to service merchants and customers. As part of the promoters’ service fee arrangement with us, we are incurring promoters’ marketing fee of $8,978 on a monthly basis from December 1, 2018. We are in the process of memorializing our oral agreements into written form and hope to conclude within the next few months.
Net Income (Loss) (excluding stock based compensation). We recorded a net loss of $1,463,346 and a net profit of $185,899 for the three months ended December 31, 2018, and 2017, respectively. The increase in the net loss is primarily due to a change in our product mix to products that require higher commission payouts and an increase in operating resources. We hope to make progressive changes to our business model over the next few months to improve our net income.
Stock Based Compensation. During the three months ended December 31, 2018, we incurred a one-time, non-cash stock based compensation of $41,081,998 through an issuance of 20,540,999 shares of our common stock, at a market value of $2 per share. The issuance was made to about 1150 sales associates for prior sales and marketing services provided to us and our subsidiaries and affiliates. No stock based compensation was incurred during the three months ended December 31, 2017.
Net Income (Loss) (including stock based compensation). We recorded a net loss of $42,545,344 and a net profit of $185,899 for the three months ended December 31, 2018, and 2017, respectively. The increase in the net loss is primarily due to a one-time, non-cash stock based compensation of $41,081,998 to about 1150 sales associates for prior sales and marketing services provided to us and our subsidiaries and affiliates.

For the nine months ended December 31, 2018, our Gross Cash Receipts net of sales returns was $20,460,105, representing a substantial increase from $1,201,479 for the same period ended 2017. This was attributed to change in product mix from mobile gaming to increased sale of Cordyceps in China. Due to a greater than expected increase in demand for our products, we have yet to deliver $5,166,054 of product. We hope to progressively fulfill these backorders over the next three months.
Our Supplier Product & Logistics Allowances for the nine months ended December 31, 2018 was $5,728,809 whereas there is no associated cost for the same period in 2017. The increase in Supplier Product & Logistics Allowance was attributable to the sale of Cordyceps in China which are primarily distributed through Resellers, as compared to same period ended December 31, 2017, where most of the sales were attributed to mobile games which are distributed by us directly, for which reseller commissions are lower.
Commission Payout for the nine months ended December 31, 2018 was $7,798,896 as compared to $46,958 for the nine months ended December 31, 2017. The increase in Commission Payout was due to higher volume of sales in China.
For the nine months ended December 31, 2018, other sales of $404,302 consisted mainly of service fee income, subscription proceeds and V-More income as compared to $262,566 for the same period of 2017 where other sales consisted primarily of share revenue income.
Gross Profit. We achieved a gross profit of $356,720 and $796,062 for the nine months ended December 31, 2018, and 2017, respectively. The increase in gross profit is primarily attributable to the increase in business in China and higher margin on our China business.
Operating Expenses. During the nine months ended December 31, 2018, and 2017, we incurred operating expenses (excluding stock based compensation) of $2,476,138 and $1,193,318 respectively. The increase in operating expenses is primarily attributable to an increase in in our manpower resources to support our increased business and increased professional fees incurred in connection with being a smaller reporting company. During the nine months ended December 31, 2018, our Taiwan branch, which is also overseeing the operation in China has engaged the services of a group of China promoters to promote V-More brand and to service merchants and customers. As part of the promoters’ service fee arrangement with us, we are incurring promoters’ marketing fee of $8,978 on a monthly basis from December 1, 2018. We are in the process of memorializing our oral agreements into written form and hope to conclude within the next few months.
Net Income (Loss) (excluding stock based compensation). We recorded a net loss of $2,265,106 and $380,196 for the nine months ended December 31, 2018, and 2017, respectively. The increase in the net loss is primarily due to a change in our product mix to products that require higher commission payouts. We hope to make progressive changes to our business model over the next few months to improve our net income.

The success of our growth strategy is dependent upon the availability of additional capital resources on terms satisfactory to management as we are not generating revenues from our business operations. Our sources of capital in the past have included the sale of equity securities, which include common stock sold in private transactions, capital leases and stockholder advances. There can be no assurance that we can raise such additional capital resources on satisfactory terms. We believe that our current cash and other sources of liquidity discussed above are adequate to support operations for at least the next 12 months. We anticipate continuing to rely on equity sales of our common shares and shareholder loans in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to our existing shareholders. There is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of our equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund our plan of operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no outstanding off-balance sheet guarantees, interest rate swap transactions or foreign currency contracts. We do not engage in trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires our management to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported, including the notes thereto, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any. We have identified certain accounting policies that are significant to the preparation of our financial statements. These accounting policies are important for an understanding of our financial condition and results of operations. Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations and require management's subjective or complex judgment, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting the estimate may differ significantly from management's current judgments. We believe the following accounting policies are critical in the preparation of our financial statements.
· | Basis of presentation |
These accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).
· | Use of estimates |
In preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the balance sheets and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
· | Intangible assets |
Intangible assets represented the acquired game right from a related party, which are stated at acquisition cost, less accumulated amortization. The Company amortizes its intangible assets with definite lives over their estimated useful lives and reviews these assets for impairment when an indicator for potential impairment exists. The Company is currently amortizing its intangible assets with definite lives over periods of 3 years.
· | Property, plant and equipment |
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis over the following expected useful lives from the date on which they become fully operational and after taking into account their estimated residual values:
Expected useful lives | |||
Building | 40 years | ||
Leasehold improvements | 3 years or lesser than term of lease | ||
Furniture and fittings | 3 years | ||
Office equipment and computers | 1- 3 years | ||
Motor vehicle | 2 years |
35 |
Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. When assets have been retired or sold, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in the results of operations.
· | Revenue recognition |
Revenue is recognized when it is realized or realizable and earned, in accordance with ASC 605 Revenue Recognition (“ASC 605”). Revenue from the sale of products is recognised when all of the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services have been performed; (3) the seller’s price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Product sales are recorded net of good and service taxes and product returns.
The Company records revenues from the sales of third-party products on a “gross” basis pursuant to ASC 605-45 Revenue Recognition - Principal Agent Considerations, when we are the primary obligor in the arrangement with the end customer and have the risks and rewards as principal in the transaction, such as responsibility for fulfilment, retaining the risk for collection, and establishing the price of the products. If these indicators have not been met, or if indicators of net revenue reporting specified in ASC 605-45 are present in the arrangement, revenue is recognized net of related direct costs.
· | Commission credits |
The Company maintains a membership program, whereby certain members earn commission credits, based on the sales volume of certain other members who are sponsored directly or indirectly by the member. Commission credits are redeemable on future spending of the products purchased or playing online games. Commission credits are recorded and classified as operating expense when the products are delivered and revenue is recognized. The estimated liability for unredeemed commission credit is included in commission liability on the accompanying balance sheets. Management reviews the adequacy for the accrual for unredeemed commission credits by periodically evaluating the historical redemption and projected trends.
· | Foreign currencies translation |
Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the consolidated statement of operations.
The reporting currency of the Company is United States Dollar ("US$") and the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been expressed in US$. In addition, the Company’s operating subsidiaries in Singapore and Seychelles maintain their books and record in its local currency, Singapore Dollars (“S$”), which is a functional currency as being the primary currency of the economic environment in which their operations are conducted. In general, for consolidation purposes, assets and liabilities of its subsidiaries whose functional currency is not US$ are translated into US$, in accordance with ASC Topic 830-30, “ Translation of Financial Statement”, using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the year. The gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the statements of changes in stockholder’s equity.
Translation of amounts from S$ into US$1 has been made at the following exchange rates for the nine months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017:
December 31, 2018 | December 31, 2017 | |||||||
Period-end S$:US$1 exchange rate | 1.3632 | 1.3365 | ||||||
Period average S$:US$1 exchange rate | 1.3588 | 1.3686 |

· | Fair value of financial instruments |
The Company follows paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and has adopted paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”) to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification are described below:
Level 1 | Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. | |
Level 2 | Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. | |
Level 3 | Pricing inputs that are generally observable inputs and not corroborated by market data. |
Financial assets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.
The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.
37 |
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and cash equivalents, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.
· | Recent accounting pronouncements |
The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and do not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on its financial condition or the results of its operations.
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 required under this item.
ITEM 4 Controls and Procedures
Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), under the supervision of and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based on that evaluation, our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, subject to limitations as noted below, as of December 31, 2018, and during the period prior to and including the date of this report, were not effective to ensure that all information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is: (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rule and forms; and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that (i) there continue to be material weaknesses in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting, that the weaknesses constitute a “deficiency” which could result in misstatements of the foregoing accounts and disclosures that could result in a material misstatement to the financial statements for the period covered by this report that would not be detected, and (ii) accordingly, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2018.
Inherent Limitations
Because of its inherent limitations, our disclosure controls and procedures may not prevent or detect misstatements. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. 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 and procedures may deteriorate.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Subject to the foregoing disclosure, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2018, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

We are not a party to any legal or administrative proceedings that we believe, individually or in the aggregate, would be likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
