Item 1. Business.
Soyodo Group Holdings, Inc. (Soyodo) was incorporated on May 15, 1997 as Quixit, Inc. under the laws of the state of Colorado. On January 16, 2003, TOP Group Corp., a New York corporation, purchased 4,400,000 shares of the company's common stock, which represented 88% of the company's outstanding capital stock at that time. Prior to the change in control, the company's purpose was to investigate opportunities to be acquired by a company that desired to be registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. In March 2003, the company changed its state of incorporation from Colorado to Delaware, and changed its name from Quixit, Inc. to TOP Group Holdings, Inc. In August of 2005, the company changed its name from TOP Group Holdings, Inc. to Soyodo Group Holdings, Inc.
In the second quarter of 2005, the company decided to commence a chain of member-only stores in locations with large Chinese immigrant populations, offering Chinese culture-related merchandise such as books, pre-recorded CDs, stationery, gifts, and sports goods. Subsequently, six retail stores had been opened. On June 30, 2006, however, the Company started to concentrate on its wholesale operation and sold to its majority shareholder & principal executive officer all the six retail stores. Then on November 30, 2006, the company decided to go back to its original plan of investigate opportunities to be acquired and sold to its majority shareholder the remaining wholesale operation.
Omphalos Corp. was incorporated on February 13, 1991 under the laws of Republic of China (TWN), initially serving as a sales agent for an equipment and used machine dealer. Omphalos Corp. (B.V.I.) was incorporated on October 30, 2001 under the laws of the British Virgin Islands. All Fine Technology Co., Ltd. was incorporated on March 23, 2004 under the laws of Republic of China. All Fine Technology Co., Ltd. (B.V.I.) was incorporated on February 2, 2005 under the laws of the British Virgin Islands.
On July 4, 2007, Omphalos Corp. (BVI) acquired Omphalos (TWN) and All Fine Technology Co. (TWN), through a share exchange with the shareholders of these two entities. On October 19, 2007 Omphalos (BVI) purchased All Fine Tech (BVI).
On February 5, 2008, Soyodo Group Holdings, Inc. entered into and completed the transactions contemplated under a Share Exchange Agreement (the Exchange Agreement) with each of the shareholders (the Shareholders) of Omphalos Corp. (B.V.I.), a British Virgin Islands corporation, pursuant to which Soyodo purchased from the Shareholders all issued and outstanding shares of Omphalos Corp. (B.V.I.) common stock in consideration for the issuance of an aggregate of 81,996,275 shares of Soyodo common stock (the "Share Exchange"). The Share Exchange resulted in a change in control of Soyodo with the Shareholders owning 81,996,275 shares of common stock of the Company out of a total of 90,191,275 issued and outstanding shares after giving effect to the Share Exchange. Shen-Peir Yang beneficially owned 55,347,485 shares of common stock and was elected a director and appointed as the Companys President. Chi Pi Yun beneficially owned 2,049,907 shares of common stock and was appointed as the Companys Chief Financial Officer. Li Shen-Ren beneficially owned 4,099,814 shares of common stock and was appointed as the Companys Chief Operating Officer. As a result of the Exchange Agreement, (i) Omphalos Corp. (B.V.I.) became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Soyodo and (ii) the Soyodo succeeded to the business of Omphalos Corp. (B.V.I.) as its sole business.
Effective April 18, 2008, Soyodo entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) with Omphalos, Corp., a Nevada corporation. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Soyodo was merged with and into the surviving corporation, Omphalos Corp. The articles of incorporation and bylaws of the surviving corporation became the articles of incorporation and bylaws of the Company, and the directors and officers of Soyodo became the members of the board of directors and officers of the Company. Following the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware and Nevada a Certificate of Merger. Omphalos, Corp. was incorporated on April 15, 2008, under the laws of the State of Nevada. The main purpose of the merger is to change Soyodos name to Omphalos, Corp.
Omphalos, Corp. and these four corporations are referred to herein collectively as the "Company" or Omphalos.
Overview of Business
Omphalos, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries which serve as third-party resellers, supplies a wide range of equipment and parts including refurbished and modified reflow soldering ovens and automated optical inspection machines for printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturers in Taiwan, China, and South Asian countries. Omphalos also provides after sale services such as maintenance and repairs to its customers and sells parts for the equipment for that purpose.
A reflow oven is a machine used primarily for reflow soldering of surface mount electronic components to printed circuit boards. Reflow soldering represents the most common means to attach a component to a circuit board, and typically consists of applying solder paste, positioning the components, and reflowing the solder in a specialized oven. The goal of the reflow process is to melt the powder particles in the solder paste, with the surfaces being joined together, and solidify the solder to create a strong metallurgical bond.
Omphalos markets its products in both Taiwan and China. Omphalos clients are mainly big name Taiwanese electronics manufacturing giants, including Quanta Computer Inc., Universal Scientific Industrial Co., and Advantech in Taiwan, and QSMC, in China.

Products
Omphalos offers a wide range of products, including the following:
Tamura N2 Reflow Ovens. Omphalos offers the Tamura N2 Reflow Oven as its preferred choice for reflow soldering. The ovens have multiple temperature controlled heat emitting infrared radiation compartments that create a phase change in flux (Small Soldier Particles) turning the solid into a liquid. When cooled in the final compartment, the flux undergoes another phase change turning from a liquid back into a solid forming a bond between the surface mount component and etched circuit board. The Tamura Line takes the additional step of being an oxygen-free environment, instead it utilizes nitrogen gas to minimize oxidation.
Gryphon Laser Marking System. This system is placed at the beginning of the SMT production line where it Laser Etches a Uniquely Identifiable 2-Dimensional Barcode onto the surface of a printed circuit board. 2D barcodes allow for more data to be physically written to the circuit board, usually the threshold is when more than 20 characters need to be written, 2D barcoding is required. The 2D barcode helps to simplify Management Information System (MIS) by making more information available offline, such as an identification number, time of fabrication, plant of fabrication, etc. making it easier to track defects and finished products to their final destination. This barcode works best when combined with the Argus Management Information System throughout the fabrication process as its life will be tracked and analyzed. To date, the Company has not derived any significant revenues from this system.
During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company obtained approximately 29% of the equipment and parts that it sells to its customers from one local suppliers, Jonk Woei Enterprise Co., Ltd. The vendor is a Taiwanese company.
Marketing
Most of the Omphalos’ business is generated through personal relationships with its major customers. In addition, it may participate in trade shows and occasionally run advertisements in trade journals and newspapers.
Markets and Customers
Omphalos’ customers include a number of major electronic manufacturing companies. For the year ended December 31, 2018, one customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s total revenues, represented approximately 84% of its total net revenues.
Regulations
Omphalos is not subject to any significant government regulation that is particular to its business.
Competition
Omphalos’s industry is highly competitive. Omphalos believes that its principal direct competitors are the manufacturers of the equipment themselves. These include Japanese companies such as Sayaka, Tamura Furukawa and Ishikawa.
There are also a number of companies in Asia that resell refurbished equipment. Our main competitors include Xucan Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. and Shenzhen Haimuxing Laser Technology Co., Ltd.
Some of these companies have significantly greater financial, technical and human resources than we do, as well as a wider range of products than we have. In addition, many of our competitors have much greater experience in marketing their products, as well as more established relationships with our target customers. Our competitors may also have greater name recognition and more extensive customer bases that they can use to their benefit. As a result, we may have difficulty maintaining our market share.
5
We believe that our competitive edge is our responsiveness to our customers needs, both in terms of speed as well as in our ability to modify the equipment in accordance with the customers instructions.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.
The following risk factors and other information included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K should be carefully considered. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or which we currently deem immaterial also may impair our business operations. If any of the following risks occur, our business, financial condition, operating results, and cash flows could be materially adversely affected.
Risk Factors Related to Our Business.
We may need to raise capital to fund our operations, and our failure to obtain funding when needed may force us to delay, reduce or eliminate our expansion efforts.
If in the future, we are not capable of generating sufficient revenues from operations and our capital resources are insufficient to meet future requirements, we may have to raise funds to continue the development, commercialization, marketing and sale of our products.
We cannot be certain that funding will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. To the extent that we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, our stockholders may experience significant dilution. Any debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants that impact our ability to conduct our business. If we are unable to raise additional capital if required or on acceptable terms, we may have to significantly delay, scale back or discontinue the development and/or commercialization of one or more of our products, obtain funds by entering into agreements on unattractive terms or restrict or cease our operations and go out of business.
Our declining operating revenues may cause substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Our audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 were prepared based on the assumption that we will continue our operations as a going concern. We had net losses of $191,818 and $262,183 during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. As a result, there may be substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our future is dependent upon our ability to implement our business plans and upon our future profitable operations.
The success of our business depends on our ability to successfully obtain a supply of merchandise for our buyers and to attract and retain active professional buyers to create sufficient demand for our sellers.
Our ability to increase our revenue and maintain profitability depends on whether we can successfully expand the supply of merchandise available for sale and attract and retain active professional buyers to purchase the merchandise. Our ability to attract sufficient quantities of suitable merchandise and new buyers will depend on various factors, some of which are out of our control. These factors include our ability to:
- offer buyers a sufficient supply of merchandise;
- develop and implement effective sales and marketing strategies;
7
- comply with corporate seller requirements affecting marketing and disposition of certain categories of merchandise;
- efficiently catalogue, handle, store, ship and track merchandise; and
- achieve high levels of seller and buyer satisfaction with the trading experience.
Omphalos is exposed to risks as a result of ongoing changes in the semiconductor and semiconductor-related industries.
The global industries in which we operate are characterized by ongoing changes, including: (1) higher capital requirements for building and operating new semiconductor and LCD fabrication plants and the resulting effect on customers’ ability to raise the necessary capital; (2) differing rates of market growth for, and capital investments by, various semiconductor device makers, such as memory (including NAND Flash and DRAM), logic and foundry, as well as LCD and solar manufacturers; (3) industry growth rates; (4) the increasing cost and decreasing affordability of research and development due to many factors, including decreasing line widths, the increasing number of materials, applications and process steps, and the greater complexity of process development and chip design; (5) the increasing difficulty for customers to move from product design to volume manufacturing; (6) the importance of reducing the cost of system ownership, due in part to the increasing significance of consumer electronics as a driver for semiconductor and LCD demand and the related focus on lower prices; (7) varying levels of business information technology spending; (8) the heightened importance to customers of system reliability and productivity, and the effect on demand for systems as a result of their increasing productivity, device yield and reliability; (9) the growing types and varieties of semiconductors and expanding number of applications across multiple substrate sizes, resulting in customers’ divergent technical demands; (10) demand for shorter cycle times for the development, manufacture and installation of manufacturing equipment; (11) the challenge to semiconductor manufacturers of moving volume manufacturing from one technology node to the next smaller technology node, and the resulting impact on the technology transition rate and the rate of investment in capital equipment; (12) price trends for certain semiconductor devices and LCDs; (13) difficulties associated with transitioning to larger substrate sizes; and (14) the increasing importance of the availability of spare parts to assure maximum system uptime. If we do not successfully manage the risks resulting from the ongoing changes occurring in the semiconductor and semiconductor-related industries, its business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
The industries that Omphalos serves are volatile and unpredictable.
As a supplier to the global semiconductor, computer and related industries, we are subject to business cycles, the timing, length and volatility of which can be difficult to predict and which may vary by reportable segment. The industries have historically been cyclical due to sudden changes in customers’ manufacturing capacity requirements and spending, which depend in part on capacity utilization, demand for customers’ products, and inventory levels relative to demand. The effects on Omphalos of these changes in demand, including end-customer demand, are occurring more rapidly. These changes have affected the timing and amounts of customers’ purchases and investments in technology, and continue to affect our orders, net sales, gross margin, contributed profit and results of operations.
We must effectively manage our resources to meet rapidly changing demand. During periods of decreasing demand for our products, we must be able to appropriately align our cost structure with prevailing market conditions, motivate and retain key employees, and effectively manage our supply chain. During periods of increasing demand, we must have sufficient inventory to meet customer demand; attract, retain and motivate a sufficient number of qualified individuals; and effectively manage our supply chain. If we are not able to timely and appropriately adapt to changes in industry cycles, our business, financial condition or results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.
Omphalos is exposed to risks associated with a highly concentrated customer base in the semiconductor and flat panel display industries.
Our semiconductor and other customer base historically has been, and is becoming even more, highly concentrated. For the year ended December 31, 2018, one major customer accounted for approximately 84.21% of Omphalos’ total revenues. Orders from a relatively limited number of manufacturers have accounted for, and are expected to continue to account for, a substantial portion of our net sales. In addition, the mix and type of customers, and sales to any single customer, may vary significantly from quarter to quarter and from year to year. If customers do not place orders, or they delay or cancel orders, we may not be able to replace the business. As our products are configured to customer specifications, changing, rescheduling or canceling orders may result in significant, non-recoverable costs. Major customers may also seek, and on occasion receive, pricing, payment, intellectual property-related, or other commercial terms that are less favorable to us. In addition, certain customers have undergone significant ownership changes, have outsourced manufacturing activities, and/or have entered into strategic alliances or industry consortia that have increased the influence of key semiconductor manufacturers in technology decisions made by their partners, which may result in additional complexities in managing customer relationships and transactions. These factors could have a material, adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
8
Omphalos is highly dependent on one supplier.
For the year ended December 31, 2018, Omphalos obtained 29.4% of the equipment and parts that it sells to its customers from one vendor. If the vendor was to cease supplying us with products for any reason, this would force us to find alternative sources for our products. A change in suppliers could cause a delay in availability of products and a possible loss of sales, which could adversely affect our operating results.
Manufacturing interruptions or delays could affect our ability to meet customer demand, while the failure to estimate customer demand accurately could result in excess or obsolete inventory.
Our business depends on our ability to supply equipment, services and related products that meet the rapidly changing technical and volume requirements of our customers, which depends in part on the timely delivery of parts, components and subassemblies (collectively, parts) from suppliers. Some key parts may be subject to long lead-times and/or obtainable only from a single supplier or limited group of suppliers, and some sourcing or subassembly is provided by suppliers in developing regions, including China and Southeast Asian countries. Significant interruptions of manufacturing operations or the delivery of services as a result of: (1) the failure or inability of suppliers to timely deliver quality parts; (2) volatility in the availability and cost of materials; (3) difficulties or delays in obtaining required export approvals; (4) information technology or infrastructure failures; (5) natural disasters (such as earthquakes, floods or storms); or (6) other causes (such as regional economic downturns, pandemics, political instability, terrorism, or acts of war), could result in delayed deliveries, manufacturing inefficiencies, increased costs or order cancellations. Moreover, if actual demand for our products is different than expected, we may purchase more/fewer parts than necessary or incur costs for canceling, postponing or expediting delivery of parts. Any or all of these factors could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We may not be able to effectively manage our growth, which may harm our profitability.
Our strategy envisions expanding our business. If we fail to effectively manage our growth, our financial results could be adversely affected. Growth may place a strain on our management systems and resources. We must continue to refine and expand our business development capabilities, our systems and processes and our access to financing sources. As we grow, we must continue to hire, train, supervise and manage new employees. We cannot assure you that we will be able to:
- meet our capital needs;
- expand our systems effectively or efficiently or in a timely manner;
- allocate our human resources optimally;
- identify and hire qualified employees or retain valued employees; or
- incorporate effectively the components of any business that we may acquire in our effort to achieve growth.
9
If we are unable to manage our growth, our operations and our financial results could be adversely affected by inefficiency, which could diminish our profitability.
Loss of Sheng-Peir Yang, our Chief Executive Officer, could impair our ability to operate.
If we lose our key employee, Sheng-Peir Yang, our Chief Executive Officer, our business could suffer. Our success is highly dependent on our ability to attract and retain qualified technical and management personnel. We are highly dependent on our management. Mr. Yang has an employment agreement with the Company. However, the loss of Mr. Yang’s services could have a material adverse effect on our operations. If we were to lose this individual, we may experience difficulties in competing effectively, developing our technology and implementing our business strategies. We do not have key-man life insurance in place for any person working for us.
Our management team does not have extensive experience in public company matters, which could impair our ability to comply with legal and regulatory requirements.
Our management team has had limited public company management experience or responsibilities. This could impair our ability to comply with legal and regulatory requirements such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and applicable federal securities laws including filing required reports and other information required on a timely basis. There can be no assurance that our management will be able to implement and effect programs and policies in an effective and timely manner that adequately respond to increased legal, regulatory compliance and reporting requirements imposed by such laws and regulations. Our failure to comply with such laws and regulations could lead to the imposition of fines and penalties and further result in the deterioration of our business.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMMON STOCK
There has been a limited trading market for our common stock. There is no assurance of an established public trading market, which would adversely affect the ability of our investors to sell their securities in the public markets.
It is anticipated that there will continue to be a limited trading market for the Company's common stock, quoted on the OTCQB. The lack of an active public market may impair your ability to sell your shares at the time you wish to sell them or at a price that you consider reasonable. The lack of an active public market may also reduce the fair market value of your shares. An inactive market may also impair our ability to raise capital by selling shares of capital stock and may impair our ability to acquire other companies or technologies by using common stock as consideration.
You may have difficulty trading and obtaining quotations for our common stock.
The common stock may not be actively traded, and the bid and asked prices for our common stock quoted on the OTCQB may fluctuate widely. As a result, investors may find it difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations of the price of, our securities. This severely limits the liquidity of the common stock, and would likely reduce the market price of our common stock and hamper our ability to raise additional capital.
The market price of our common stock may, and is likely to continue to be, highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations.
The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a number of factors that are beyond our control, including:
- dilution caused by our issuance of additional shares of common stock and other forms of equity securities, which we may make in connection with future capital financings to fund our operations and growth, to attract and retain valuable personnel and in connection with future strategic partnerships with other companies;
10
- announcements of new acquisitions, discoveries or other business initiatives by our competitors;
- our ability to take advantage of new acquisitions, discoveries or other business initiatives;
- quarterly variations in our revenues and operating expenses;
- changes in the valuation of similarly situated companies, both in our industry and in other industries;
- changes in analysts’ estimates affecting the Company, our competitors and/or our industry;
- changes in the accounting methods used in or otherwise affecting our industry;
- additions and departures of key personnel;
- fluctuations in interest rates and the availability of capital in the capital markets; and
- significant sales of our common stock, including sales by the investors and/or future investors in future offerings we expect to make to raise additional capital.
These and other factors are largely beyond our control, and the impact of these risks, singly or in the aggregate, may result in material adverse changes to the market price of our common stock and/or our results of operations and financial condition.
We do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.
We do not intend to declare dividends for the foreseeable future, as we anticipate that we will reinvest any future earnings in the development and growth of our business. Therefore, investors will not receive any funds unless they sell their common stock, and stockholders may be unable to sell their shares on favorable terms or at all. Investors cannot be assured of a positive return on investment or that they will not lose the entire amount of their investment in the common stock.
If we fail to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting, the price of our common stock may be adversely affected.
Our internal controls over financial reporting, while they appear to be sufficient for our needs, may have weaknesses and conditions that will need to be addressed, the disclosure of which may have an adverse impact on the price of our common stock. We are required to establish and maintain appropriate internal controls over financial reporting. Failure to establish those controls, or any failure of those controls once established, could adversely impact our public disclosures regarding our business, financial condition or operating results. In addition, management's assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting may identify weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed in our internal controls over financial reporting or other matters that may raise concerns for investors. Any actual or perceived weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed in our internal controls over financial reporting or disclosure of management's assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting may have an adverse impact on the price of our common stock.
We are controlled by current officers, directors and principal stockholders.
Our directors, executive officers and principal stockholders and their affiliates beneficially own approximately 90% of the outstanding shares of our common stock. So long as our directors, executive officers and principal stockholders and their affiliates control a majority of our fully diluted equity, they will continue to have the ability to elect our directors and determine the outcome of votes by our stockholders on corporate matters, including mergers, sales of all or substantially all of our assets, charter amendments and other matters requiring stockholder approval.
This controlling interest may have a negative impact on the market price of our common stock by discouraging third-party investors.
11
Applicable SEC rules governing the trading of “penny stocks” limit the trading and liquidity of our common stock, which may affect the trading price of our common stock.
Shares of common stock may be considered a “penny stock” and be subject to SEC rules and regulations which impose limitations upon the manner in which such shares may be publicly traded and regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in “penny stocks.” Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges). The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer must also provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. In addition, the penny stock rules generally require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock, the broker-dealer make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for a stock that becomes subject to the penny stock rules which may increase the difficulty investors may experience in attempting to liquidate such stock.

Overview
The Company, through Omphalos Corp. Taiwan, is in the business of supplying a wide range of equipment and parts including reflow soldering ovens and Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) machines to printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturers in Taiwan and China. The clients are mainly Taiwanese and Chinese electronics manufacturing companies, including Delta Electronics (Jiangsu) Ltd., Wistron Corporation, Shenzhen MagicRay Technology Co., Ltd., and Chicony Electronics CO., Ltd.
The major equipment manufacturer Omphalos represents is TAMURA, which has complete technical support licensed from the original manufacturers.
The Company operates in an industry characterized by rapid technological changes. It will need additional investments to complete the development and improvement necessary for the development and production of the testing equipment and parts for PCB assembly processes.
The Companys business strategy is to increase its market share by expanding into other industries. Since PCB has a vast application range, the Company is currently researching and developing many additional uses for testing equipment and parts.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
This discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements that have been prepared under accounting principle generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Basis of Consolidation The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Omphalos Corp. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated.
Going Concern The Company has incurred net losses during the past two years and had an accumulated deficit of $2,220,140 and $2,028,322 as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. This basis of accounting contemplates the recovery of the Companys assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. This presentation presumes funds will be available to finance ongoing research and development, operations and capital expenditures and permit the realization of assets and the payment of liabilities in the normal course of operations for the foreseeable future.
There can be no assurances that there will be adequate financing available to the Company and the consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
14
The Company has taken certain restructuring steps to provide the necessary capital to continue its operations. These steps included: (1) Tightly budgeting and controlling all expenses; (2) Expanding product lines and recruiting a strong sales team to significantly increase sales revenue and profit in 2019; (3) The Company plans to continue actively seeing additional funding opportunities to improve and expand upon its product lines.
Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and cash in time deposits, certificates of deposit, and all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less.
Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable are carried at original invoice amount less estimates made for doubtful receivables. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts on a quarterly basis based on a review of the current status of existing receivables, account aging, historical collection experience, subsequent collections, managements evaluation of the effect of existing economic conditions, and other known factors. The provision is provided for the above estimates made for all doubtful receivables. Account balances are charged off against the allowance only when the Company considers it is probable that a receivable will not be recovered. Recoveries of trade receivables previously written off are recorded when received.
Inventory Inventory is carried at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value (NRV) is defined as estimated selling prices less costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. Cost is determined by using the specific identification method. The Company periodically reviews the age and turnover of its inventory to determine whether any inventory has become obsolete or has declined in value, and charges to operations for known and anticipated inventory obsolescence. Inventory consists substantially of finished goods and is net of an allowance for slow-moving inventory of $436,409 and $450,691 at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
Property and Equipment Property and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets as follows:
Automobile | 5 years | ||
Furniture and fixtures | 3 years | ||
Machinery and equipment | 3 to 5 | ||
years | |||
Leasehold improvements | 55 years |
Expenditures for major renewals and betterment that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the asset and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting profit or loss is reflected in the statement of income for the period. The accumulated depreciation was $121,865 and $123,122 at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Depreciation expense was $2,687 and $4,876 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
Intangible Assets Include cost of patent applications that are deferred and charged to operations over their useful lives. The accumulated amortization is $36,778 and $34,612 at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Amortization expense was $3,316 and $3,286 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 360-10, Property, Plant and Equipment (ASC 360-10). ASC 360-10 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by the Company be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company evaluates its long lived assets for impairment annually or more often if events and circumstances warrant. Events relating to recoverability may include significant unfavorable changes in business conditions, recurring losses, or a forecasted inability to achieve break-even operating results over an extended period. The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets based upon forecasted undiscounted cash flows. Should impairment in value be indicated, the carrying value of intangible assets will be adjusted, based on estimates of future discounted cash flows resulting from the use and ultimate disposition of the asset. ASC 360-10 also requires assets to be disposed of be reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell. Management has determined that no impairments of long-lived assets currently exist.
15
Fair Value Measurements FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements defines fair value for certain financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. It requires that an entity measure its financial instruments to base fair value on exit price, maximize the use of observable units and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to determine the exit price. It establishes a hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. This hierarchy increases the consistency and comparability of fair value measurements and related disclosures by maximizing the use of observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Companys own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels based on the reliability of the inputs as follows:
-
Level 1 Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. Valuation of these instruments does not require a high degree of judgment as the valuations are based on quoted prices in active markets that are readily and regularly available.
-
Level 2 Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable as of the measurement date, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
-
Level 3 Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and not corroborated by market data. The fair value for such assets and liabilities is generally determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques that incorporate the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability.
The carrying values of certain assets and liabilities of the Company, such as cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, inventory, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and due to related parties, approximate to fair value due to their relatively short maturities. The carrying amounts of the Company's long-term debt approximate to their fair value because of the short maturity and/or interest rates which are comparable to those currently available to the Company on obligations with similar terms.
Revenue Recognition During the fiscal year 2018, the Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification (ASC), Topic 606 (ASC 606), Revenue from Contracts with Customers, using the modified retrospective method to all contracts that were not completed as of January 1, 2018. The Company recognized the cumulative effect of applying the new revenue standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of accumulated deficit at the beginning of 2018. The results for the Companys reporting periods beginning on and after January 1, 2018 are presented under ASC 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for the prior period. Based on the Companys review of existing sales contracts as of January 1, 2018, the Company concluded that the adoption of the new guidance did not have a significant change on the Companys revenue during all periods presented.
Pursuant to ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that the Company determines is within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration the Company is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services the Company transfers to the customers. At inception of the contract, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, the Company assesses the goods or services promised within each contract, determines those that are performance obligations, and assesses whether each promised good or service is distinct. The Company then recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied.
16
Merchandise Sales: The Company recognizes net revenues from machinery product sales when customers obtain control of the Companys products, which typically occurs upon delivery to customer. Product revenues are recorded at the net sales price, or transaction price, which includes applicable reserves for variable consideration, including discounts, allowances, and returns.
Trade discount and allowances: The Company generally provides invoice discounts on product sales to its customers for prompt payment. The Company estimates that, based on its experience, its customers will earn these discounts and fees, and deducts the full amount of these discounts and fees from its gross product revenues and accounts receivable at the time such revenues are recognized.
Product returns: The Company estimates the amount of each product that will be returned and deducts these estimated amounts from its gross revenues at the time the revenues are recognized. For special ordered and customized machinery, no sales returns were allowed.
To date, product allowance and returns have been minimal and, based on its experience, the Company believes that returns of its products will continue to be minimal.
The following tables provide details of revenue by major products and by geography.

Leases Lease agreements are evaluated to determine if they are capital leases meeting any of the following criteria at inception: (a) Transfer of ownership; (b) Bargain purchase option; (c) The lease term is equal to 75 percent or more of the estimated economic life of the leased property; (d) The present value at the beginning of the lease term of the minimum lease payments, excluding that portion of the payments representing executory costs such as insurance, maintenance, and taxes to be paid by the lessor, including any profit thereon, equals or exceeds 90 percent of the excess of the fair value of the leased property to the lessor at lease inception over any related investment tax credit retained by the lessor and expected to be realized by the lessor.
If at its inception a lease meets any of the four lease criteria above, the lease is classified by the lessee as a capital lease; and if none of the four criteria are met, the lease is classified by the lessee as an operating lease.
Research and Development Expenses Research and development costs are generally expensed as incurred.
Statement of cash flows In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 230, Statement of Cash Flows, cash flows from the Companys operations are calculated based upon the local currencies, and translated to the reporting currency using an average foreign exchange rate for the reporting period. As a result, amounts related to changes in assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheets.
17
Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes, which requires that the Company recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect in the years the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred income tax benefit (expense) results from the change in net deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities. A valuation allowance is recorded when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some or all of any deferred tax assets will not be realized.
Stock Based Compensation The Company applies the fair value provisions of ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation (ASC 718). ASC 718 requires the recognition of compensation expense, using a fair-value based method, for costs related to all share-based payments including stock options. ASC 718 requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards on the grant date using an option pricing model. The Company does not have any awards of stock-based compensation issued and outstanding at December 31, 2018 and 2017.
Loss Per Share The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 260-10, Earnings Per Share (ASC 260-10) which specifies the computation, presentation and disclosure requirements of earnings per share information. Basic earnings per share have been calculated based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Common equivalent shares are excluded from the computation of the diluted loss per share if their effect would be anti-dilutive. For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company did not have any common equivalent shares.
Foreign-currency Transactions Foreign-currency transactions are recorded in New Taiwan dollars ("NTD") at the rates of exchange in effect when the transactions occur. Gains or losses resulting from the application of different foreign exchange rates when cash in foreign currency is converted into New Taiwan dollars, or when foreign-currency receivables or payables are settled, are credited or charged to income in the year of conversion or settlement. On the balance sheet dates, the balances of foreign-currency assets and liabilities are restated at the prevailing exchange rates and the resulting differences are charged to current income except for those foreign currency denominated investments in shares of stock where such differences are accounted for as translation adjustments under stockholders' equity.
Translation Adjustment The Company financial statements are presented in the U.S. dollar ($), which is the Companys reporting currency, while its functional currency is New Taiwan dollar (NTD). Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded at the functional currency rate ruling at the date of transaction. Any differences between the initially recorded amount and the settlement amount are recorded as a gain or loss on foreign currency transaction in the consolidated statements of income. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are translated at the functional currency rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Any differences are taken to profit or loss as a gain or loss on foreign currency translation in the statements of income.
In accordance with ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters, the Company translates the assets and liabilities into U.S. dollar ($) using the rate of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date and the statements of operations and cash flows are translated at an average rate during the reporting period. Adjustments resulting from the translation from NTD into U.S. dollar are recorded in stockholders equity as part of accumulated other comprehensive income.
Reclassifications Certain classifications have been made to the prior year financial statements to conform to the current year presentation. The reclassification had no impact on previously reported net loss or accumulated deficit.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Lease: In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the FASB) issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (ASC 842), which was amended by ASU 2018-11, Leases (ASC 842): Targeted Improvements. The new guidance requires lessee recognition on the balance sheet of a right-of-use (ROU) asset and a lease liability, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments. It further requires recognition in the income statement of a single lease cost, calculated so that the cost of the lease is allocated over the lease term generally on a straight-line basis. Finally, it requires classification of all cash payments within operating activities in the statement of cash flows. The standard is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and early adoption is permitted. The standard requires a transition adoption election using either 1) a modified retrospective approach with periods prior to the adoption date being recast or 2) a prospective adoption approach with a cumulative-effect adjustment recognized to the opening balance of retained earnings on the adoption date with prior periods not recast. The Company anticipates adopting this standard with an effective date of January 1, 2019 using the prospective adoption approach. The Company has evaluated the changes from this standard to its future financial reporting and disclosures, and has designed and implemented related processes and controls to address these changes. The Company believes the most significant effects relate to (1) the recognition of new ROU assets and lease liabilities on its balance sheet for its office operating lease; and (2) providing significant new disclosures about its leasing activities related to the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The Company is continuing its assessment, which may identify additional impacts this guidance will have on its financial statements and disclosures.
18
Income Tax: In December 2017, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 118 (as further clarified by FASB ASU 2018-05, Income Taxes (Topic 740): "Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118") to provide guidance for companies that may not have completed their accounting for the income tax effects of the Tax Cut and Jobs Act ("Tax Act") in the period of enactment, which is the period that includes December 22, 2017. SAB No. 118 provides for a provisional one year measurement period for entities to finalize their accounting for certain income tax effects related to the Tax Act. SAB No. 118 provides guidance where: (i) the accounting for the income tax effect of the Tax Act is complete and reported in the Tax Act's enactment period, (ii) the accounting for the income tax effect of the Tax Act is incomplete and reported as provisional amounts based on reasonable estimates (to the extent determinable) subject to adjustments during a limited measurement period until complete, and (iii) accounting for the income tax effect of the Tax Act is not reasonably estimable (no related provisional amounts are reported in the enactment period) and entities would continue to apply accounting based on tax law provisions in effect prior to the Tax Act enactment until provisional amounts are reasonably estimable. SAB No. 118 requires disclosure of the reasons for incomplete accounting additional information or analysis needed, among other relevant information. The Company is continuing to gather additional information to determine the final impact.
Fair Value Measurement: In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The ASU modifies the disclosure requirements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, by removing certain disclosure requirements related to the fair value hierarchy, modifying existing disclosure requirements related to measurement uncertainty and adding new disclosure requirements, such as disclosing the changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period and disclosing the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. This ASU is effective for public companies for annual reporting periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the effect, if any, that the ASU will have on its financial statements.

Net Sales: Net sales were $527,633 for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to $588,040 for the year ended December 31, 2017, representing a decrease of $60,407, or (10.3)%. Net sales from our laser machine sold were $439,972 and $560,329 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Net sales from our service rendered to customers and parts sold were $87,661 and $27,711 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The decrease in sales was primarily a result of a decrease in the selling unit price of laser machine. During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, we sold eight pieces of reflow soldering ovens and automated optical inspection machines and laser marking system to printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturers. Due to the highly competitive market, our average selling price decreased to approximately $55,000 per unit in 2018 compared to approximately $70,000 per unit in 2017.
Cost of Sales: Cost of sales was $308,996 or 58.6% of net sales for the year ended December 31, 2018, as compared to $267,729 or 45.5% of net sales for the year ended December 31, 2017. The increase in cost of sales during the year ended December 31, 2018 was mainly attributable to higher purchasing costs as compared to 2017.
Gross Margin: Gross profit was $218,637 for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to $320,311 for the year ended December 31, 2017, representing a decrease of $101,674, or (31.7)%. Gross profit as a percent of net sales was 41.4% in 2018, compared to 54.5% in 2017. The decrease in gross profit percentage was because we sold automated optical inspection machines with lower margins during the year ended December 31, 2018.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses: Selling, general and administrative expenses were $386,626 or 73.3% of net sales, for the year ended December 31, 2018, as compared to $541,090 or 92% of net sales for the year ended December 31, 2017 representing a decrease of $154,464 or (28.5)% . The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to the decreases in payroll expenses, traveling expenses, and professional service expenses, partially offset by the increase in repair and maintenance expenses.
Loss from Operations: Loss from operations has decreased by $52,790, or (23.9)% to $167,989 for the year ended December 31, 2018 from $220,779 for the year ended December 31, 2017. The decrease in loss from operations for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared with loss from operations for the year ended December 31, 2017, was as a result of the decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses.
Other Income (Expenses): Other income (expenses) was $(23,829) for the year ended December 31, 2018, as compared to $(41,404) for the year ended December 31, 2017. This change was primarily attributable to the decrease in foreign currency exchange loss during the year ended December 31, 2018.
Net Loss: Net loss was $191,818 for the year ended December 31, 2018, as compared to $262,183 for the year ended December 31, 2017. The decrease in net loss was due to the reasons described above.

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred net losses during the past two years and had an accumulated deficit of $2,220,140 and $2,028,322 as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. This basis of accounting contemplates the recovery of the Companys assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. This presentation presumes funds will be available to finance ongoing research and development, operations and capital expenditures and permit the realization of assets and the payment of liabilities in the normal course of operations for the foreseeable future.
20
There can be no assurances that there will be adequate financing available to the Company and the consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty. These matters raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on us obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If we are unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.
Managements Plan to Continue as a Going Concern
The Company has taken certain restructuring steps to provide the necessary capital to continue its operations. These steps included: (1) Tightly budgeting and controlling all expenses; (2) Expanding product lines and recruiting a strong sales team to significantly increase sales revenue and profit in 2019; (3) The Company plans to continue actively seeing additional funding opportunities to improve and expand upon its product lines.
Our principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, and cash flow from operations. As of December 31, 2018, we had working capital deficit of $1,097,896 as compared to working capital deficit of $1,033,469 as of December 31, 2017. Our cash and cash equivalent have increased from $23,051 at December 31, 2017 to $55,499 at December 31, 2018.

Net cash flow provided by operating activities was $33,693 during the year ended December 31, 2018, as compared to net cash flow provided by operating activities of $1,504 during the year ended December 31, 2017. The increase of $32,189 of cash provided in operating activities was primarily due to the decrease in accounts receivable and inventory and the increase in due to related parties for working capital purpose, partially offset by the increase in prepaid expense and the decrease in accrued expense during the year ended December 31, 2018.
Net cash used in investing activities was $0 and $7,142 during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
The company did not use in or provide by any cash flow from financing activities during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. We did not enter any loan agreements with our officer and shareholders.
In light of the significant decreases in our net sales over the past fiscal year and current uncertain market and economic conditions, we are aggressively managing our cost structure and cash position to ensure that we will meet our financial obligations while preserving the ability to make investments that will enable us to respond to customer requirements and achieve long-term profitable growth. We currently believe that our cash and cash equivalents, working capital, and cash generated from operations, will be sufficient to meet our forecasted operating expenses and capital expenditures through 2019.

Capital Expenditures
Total capital expenditures during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 was $0 and $7,142, respectively.
Currency Exchange Fluctuations
Translation Adjustment The accounts of the Company was maintained, and its financial statements were expressed, in New Taiwan Dollar (NTD). Such financial statements were translated into U.S. Dollars ($ or USD) in accordance ASC 830, "Foreign Currency Matters", with the NTD as the functional currency.

The weighted-average rates of exchange between NTD and USD were NTD1=$0.03319 and NTD1=$0.03289 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. Total translation adjustment recognized as of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 is $516,668 and $465,722, respectively.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
Managements Conclusions Regarding Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (“Disclosure Controls”), as defined by Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of December 31, 2018, the end of the year covered by this annual report on Form 10-K. The Disclosure Controls evaluation was done under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, who is the same person and our sole employee. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Based upon this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, due to our limited internal audit function and our very limited staff, our disclosure controls were not effective as of December 31, 2018, such that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the chief executive officer/chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC.
Management’s Report of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act. Our management is also required to assess and report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Section 404”). Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of July 31, 2018. In making this assessment, we used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control - Integrated Framework. During our assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018, management identified material weaknesses related to (i) our internal audit functions (ii) inadequate levels of review of the financial statements, (iii) a lack of segregation of duties within accounting functions and (iv) the absence of any independent directors. Therefore, our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of December 31, 2018.
Management has determined that our internal controls contain material weaknesses due to the absence of segregation of duties, as well as lack of qualified accounting personnel and excessive reliance on third party consultants for accounting, financial reporting and related activities. The lack of any separation of duties, with the same person, who is our only employee who serves as both chief executive officer and chief financial officer, and who does not have an accounting background and serves on a part-time basis, makes it unlikely that we will be able to implement effective internal controls over financial reporting in the near future.
Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties is not possible. However, to the extent possible, we plan to implement procedures to assure that the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions will be performed by separate individuals if and when we have sufficient income to enable us to hire such individuals, and we cannot give any assurance that we will be able to hire such personnel. Our financial condition makes it difficult for us to implement a system of internal controls over financial reporting.
Until we generate significantly greater revenues and employ accounting personnel, it is doubtful that we will be able implement any system which provides us with any degree of internal controls over financial reporting. Due to the nature of this material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, there is more than a remote likelihood that misstatements which could be material to our annual or interim financial statements could not be prevented or detected.
A material weakness (within the meaning of PCAOB Auditing Standard No. 5) is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those responsible for oversight of our financial reporting.
23
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. 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
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Audit Committee Financial Expert
Our current director acts as our audit committee. The current director was elected President in connection with the merger and is not independent. By virtue of his education, business experience and specific experience with the financial reports for the Company, Mr. Sheng-Peir Yang satisfies the requirements for service as an audit committee financial expert, except for his position as the Companys President, which disqualifies him as an independent director, as the term is used in Item 407 of Regulation S-K. An informal search is under way to identify a suitable candidate for service on the Board of Directors as an independent director who would be qualified as an audit committee financial expert.
Audit Committee
We have not yet appointed an audit committee, and our director currently acts as our audit committee. At the present time, we believe that our director is capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. The Company, however, recognizes the importance of good corporate governance and intends to add additional directors to the Board of Directors and appoint an audit committee comprised entirely of independent directors, including at least one financial expert.
Limitation on Liability and Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Our articles of incorporation provide that no director or officer shall have any liability to the Company if that person acted in good faith and with the same degree of care and skill as a prudent person in similar circumstances.
Our articles of incorporation and bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers and may indemnify our employees or agents to the fullest extent permitted by law against liabilities and expenses incurred in connection with litigation in which they may be involved because of their offices or positions with us. However, nothing in our articles of incorporation or bylaws protects or indemnifies a director, officer, employee or agent against any liability to which that person would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of that persons office or position. To the extent that a director has been successful in defense of any proceeding, the Nevada Revised Statutes provide that the director shall be indemnified against reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding.
Code of Ethics
We have not as yet adopted a code of ethics that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions, as we have had only to executive officers and we have not been able to establish a process for auditing compliance or reporting noncompliance. We plan to adopt a code of ethics as independent directors are added to the Board of Directors and additional executive officers are engaged by the Company, when it will be in a better position to implement a process for assuring continued compliance with such code of ethics, at which time, it will be available in print to any person who requests it and on our website, when our website is completed. Any amendments and waivers to the code will also be available in print and on our website.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM |
CONTENTS
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Omphalos Corp.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Omphalos Corp. and subsidiaries ( the Company) as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the related statements of operations and comprehensive income(loss), stockholders equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, in conformity with the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Companys financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that Omphalos, Corp. will continue as a going concern. As described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred losses from operations, has a working capital deficit, and is in need of additional capital to grow its operations so that it can become profitable. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. Managements plans with regard to these matters are described in Note 1. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
/s/ KCCW Accountancy Corp.
We have served as the Companys auditor since 2008.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
DECEMBER 31, 2018 |
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization Omphalos Corp. was incorporated as Soyodo Group Holdings, Inc. (the Soyodo) under the laws of Delaware in March 2003. On February 5, 2008, Soyodo acquired the outstanding shares of Omphalos Corp. Omphalos Corp. (the Omphalos BVI) was incorporated on October 30, 2001 under the laws of the British Virgin Islands. For accounting purposes, the acquisition was treated as a recapitalization of Omphalos BVI. Omphalos BVI owns 100% of Omphalos Corp. (Taiwan), All Fine Technology Co., Ltd. (Taiwan), and All Fine Technology Co., Ltd. (B.V.I.). Omphalos Corp. (Taiwan) and was incorporated on February 13, 1991 under the laws of Republic of China. All Fine Technology Co., Ltd. (Taiwan) was incorporated on March 23, 2004 under the laws of Republic of China. All Fine Technology Co., Ltd. (B.V.I.) was incorporated on February 2, 2005 under the laws of the British Virgin Islands. Omphalos Corp. (B.V.I.) and its subsidiaries supplies a wide range of equipments and parts including reflow soldering ovens and automated optical inspection machines for printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturers in Taiwan and China.
Effective April 18, 2008 Soyodo entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) with Omphalos, Corp., a Nevada corporation. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Soyodo was merged with and into the surviving corporation, Omphalos Corp. The certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the surviving corporation became the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Company, and the directors and officers of Soyodo became the members of the board of directors and officers of the Company. Following the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware and Nevada, a Certificate of Merger. Omphalos, Corp is incorporated on April 15, 2008 under the laws of the state of Nevada. The main purpose of the merger is to change the company’s name to Omphalos, Corp.
Basis of Consolidation— The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Omphalos Corp. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated.
Going Concern-The Company has incurred a net loss of $191,818 and $262,183 during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. This basis of accounting contemplates the recovery of the Company’s assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. This presentation presumes funds will be available to finance ongoing research and development, operations and capital expenditures and permit the realization of assets and the payment of liabilities in the normal course of operations for the foreseeable future.
There can be no assurances that there will be adequate financing available to the Company and the consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
The Company has taken certain restructuring steps to provide the necessary capital to continue its operations. These steps included: (1) Tightly budgeting and controlling all expenses; (2) Expanding product lines and recruiting a strong sales team to significantly increase sales revenue and profit; (3) The Company plans to continue actively seeing additional funding opportunities to improve and expand upon its product lines.
Accounting Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash Equivalents, and Long-term Investments — Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and cash in time deposits, certificates of deposit and all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less.
Accounts Receivable — Accounts receivables are carried at original invoice amount less estimates made for doubtful receivables. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts on a quarterly basis based on a review of the current status of existing receivables, account aging, historical collection experience, subsequent collections, management's evaluation of the effect of existing economic conditions, and other known factors. The provision is provided for the above estimates made for all doubtful receivables. Account balances are charged off against the allowance only when the Company considers it is probable that a receivable will not be recovered. Recoveries of trade receivables previously written off are recorded when received. Allowance for doubtful debts amounted to $0 as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
Inventory — Inventory is carried at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value (NRV) is defined as estimated selling prices less costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. Cost is determined by using the specific identification method. The Company periodically reviews the age and turnover of its inventory to determine whether any inventory has become obsolete or has declined in value, and charges to operations for known and anticipated inventory obsolescence. Inventory consists substantially of finished goods and is net of an allowance for slow-moving inventory of $436,409 and $450,691 at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
6
Property and Equipment — Property and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets as follows:
Automobile | 5 years |
Furniture and fixtures | 3 years |
Machinery and equipment | 3 to 5 years |
Leasehold improvements | 55 years |
Expenditures for major renewals and betterment that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the asset and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting profit or loss is reflected in the statement of income for the period.
Revenue Recognition During the fiscal year 2018, the Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification (ASC), Topic 606 (ASC 606), Revenue from Contracts with Customers, using the modified retrospective method to all contracts that were not completed as of January 1, 2018. The Company recognized the cumulative effect of applying the new revenue standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of accumulated deficit at the beginning of 2018. The results for the Companys reporting periods beginning on and after January 1, 2018 are presented under ASC 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for the prior period. Based on the Companys review of existing sales contracts as of January 1, 2018, the Company concluded that the adoption of the new guidance did not have a significant change on the Companys revenue during all periods presented.
Pursuant to ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that the Company determines is within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration the Company is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services the Company transfers to the customers. At inception of the contract, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, the Company assesses the goods or services promised within each contract, determines those that are performance obligations, and assesses whether each promised good or service is distinct. The Company then recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied.
Merchandise Sales: The Company recognizes net revenues from machinery product sales when customers obtain control of the Companys products, which typically occurs upon delivery to customer. Product revenues are recorded at the net sales price, or transaction price, which includes applicable reserves for variable consideration, including discounts, allowances, and returns.
Trade discount and allowances: The Company generally provides invoice discounts on product sales to its customers for prompt payment. The Company estimates that, based on its experience, its customers will earn these discounts and fees, and deducts the full amount of these discounts and fees from its gross product revenues and accounts receivable at the time such revenues are recognized.
Product returns: The Company estimates the amount of each product that will be returned and deducts these estimated amounts from its gross revenues at the time the revenues are recognized. For special ordered and customized machinery, no sales returns were allowed.
To date, product allowance and returns have been minimal and, based on its experience, the Company believes that returns of its products will continue to be minimal.
The following tables provide details of revenue by major products and by geography.

Research and Development Expenses Research and development costs are generally expensed as incurred. The Company did not incur any significant research and development expenses during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.
Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes, which requires that the Company recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect in the years the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred income tax benefit (expense) results from the change in net deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities. A valuation allowance is recorded when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some or all of any deferred tax assets will not be realized.
Stock Based Compensation The Company applies the fair value provisions of ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation (ASC 718). ASC 718 requires the recognition of compensation expense, using a fair-value based method, for costs related to all share-based payments including stock options. ASC 718 requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards on the grant date using an option pricing model. The Company does not have any awards of stock-based compensation issued and outstanding at December 31, 2018 and 2017.
Loss Per Share The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 260-10, Earnings Per Share (ASC 260-10) which specifies the computation, presentation and disclosure requirements of earnings per share information. Basic earnings per share have been calculated based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Common equivalent shares are excluded from the computation of the diluted loss per share if their effect would be anti-dilutive. For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company did not have any common equivalent shares.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 360-10, Property, Plant and Equipment (ASC 360-10). ASC 360-10 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by the Company be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company evaluates its long lived assets for impairment annually or more often if events and circumstances warrant. Events relating to recoverability may include significant unfavorable changes in business conditions, recurring losses, or a forecasted inability to achieve break-even operating results over an extended period. The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets based upon forecasted undiscounted cash flows. Should impairment in value be indicated, the carrying value of intangible assets will be adjusted, based on estimates of future discounted cash flows resulting from the use and ultimate disposition of the asset. ASC 360-10 also requires assets to be disposed of be reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell. Management has determined that no impairments of long-lived assets currently exist.
Concentrations
Credit Risk: Financial instruments that subject the Company to credit risk consist primarily of trade accounts receivable and investments. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains an allowance for potential credit losses. The Company regularly evaluates securities to determine whether there has been any diminution in value that is deemed to be other than temporary.
8
Customers: The Company sells Laser equipment and parts to printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturers mostly in Taiwan and China. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers financial condition and generally, requires no collateral. For the year ended December 31, 2017, five customers accounted for more than 10% of the Companys total revenues, represented approximately 97.8% of its total revenues, and 97.0% of accounts receivable in aggregate at December 31, 2017. For the year ended December 31, 2018, one customer accounted for more than 10% of the Companys total revenues, represented approximately 84.21% of its total revenues, and 0% of accounts receivable at December 31, 2018.

Suppliers: For the year ended December 31, 2017, 40.0% of the Companys inventory was purchased from two vendors. For the year ended December 31, 2018, 29.4% of the Companys inventory was purchased from one vendor.
Fair Value Measurements FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements defines fair value for certain financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. It requires that an entity measure its financial instruments to base fair value on exit price, maximize the use of observable units and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to determine the exit price. It establishes a hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. This hierarchy increases the consistency and comparability of fair value measurements and related disclosures by maximizing the use of observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Companys own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels based on the reliability of the inputs as follows:
-
Level 1 Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. Valuation of these instruments does not require a high degree of judgment as the valuations are based on quoted prices in active markets that are readily and regularly available.
-
Level 2 Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable as of the measurement date, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
-
Level 3 Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and not corroborated by market data. The fair value for such assets and liabilities is generally determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques that incorporate the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability.
9
The carrying values of certain assets and liabilities of the Company, such as cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, inventory, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and due to related parties, approximate to fair value due to their relatively short maturities. The carrying amounts of the Company's long-term debt approximate to their fair value because of the short maturity and/or interest rates which are comparable to those currently available to the Company on obligations with similar terms.
Foreign-currency Transactions — Foreign-currency transactions are recorded in New Taiwan dollars (“NTD”) at the rates of exchange in effect when the transactions occur. Gains or losses resulting from the application of different foreign exchange rates when cash in foreign currency is converted into New Taiwan dollars, or when foreign-currency receivables or payables are settled, are credited or charged to income in the year of conversion or settlement. On the balance sheet dates, the balances of foreign-currency assets and liabilities are restated at the prevailing exchange rates and the resulting differences are charged to current income except for those foreign currencies denominated investments in shares of stock where such differences are accounted for as translation adjustments under stockholders’ equity.
Statement of Cash Flows — Cash flows from the Company's operations are based upon the local currencies. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet.
Translation Adjustment — The accounts of the Company were maintained, and its financial statements were expressed, in New Taiwan Dollar (“NTD”). Such financial statements were translated into U.S. Dollars (“$” or “USD”) in accordance ASC 830, "Foreign Currency Matters", with the NTD as the functional currency. According to the Statement, all assets and liabilities are translated at the current exchange rate, stockholder's equity are translated at the historical rates and income statement items are translated at an average exchange rate for the period.
The resulting translation adjustments are reported under other comprehensive income as a component of stockholders’ equity.
Comprehensive Income(Loss) — Comprehensive income (loss) includes accumulated foreign currency translation gains and losses. The Company has reported the components of comprehensive income on its statements of stockholders’ equity and statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Lease: In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (ASC 842), which was amended by ASU 2018-11, Leases (ASC 842): Targeted Improvements. The new guidance requires lessee recognition on the balance sheet of a right-of-use (ROU) asset and a lease liability, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments. It further requires recognition in the income statement of a single lease cost, calculated so that the cost of the lease is allocated over the lease term generally on a straight-line basis. Finally, it requires classification of all cash payments within operating activities in the statement of cash flows. The standard is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and early adoption is permitted. The standard requires a transition adoption election using either 1) a modified retrospective approach with periods prior to the adoption date being recast or 2) a prospective adoption approach with a cumulative-effect adjustment recognized to the opening balance of retained earnings on the adoption date with prior periods not recast. The Company anticipates adopting this standard with an effective date of January 1, 2019 using the prospective adoption approach. The Company has evaluated the changes from this standard to its future financial reporting and disclosures, and has designed and implemented related processes and controls to address these changes. The Company believes the most significant effects relate to (1) the recognition of new ROU assets and lease liabilities on its balance sheet for its office operating lease; and (2) providing significant new disclosures about its leasing activities related to the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The Company is continuing its assessment, which may identify additional impacts this guidance will have on its financial statements and disclosures.
10
Income Tax: In December 2017, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 118 (as further clarified by FASB ASU 2018-05, Income Taxes (Topic 740): "Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118") to provide guidance for companies that may not have completed their accounting for the income tax effects of the Tax Cut and Jobs Act ("Tax Act") in the period of enactment, which is the period that includes December 22, 2017. SAB No. 118 provides for a provisional one year measurement period for entities to finalize their accounting for certain income tax effects related to the Tax Act. SAB No. 118 provides guidance where: (i) the accounting for the income tax effect of the Tax Act is complete and reported in the Tax Act's enactment period, (ii) the accounting for the income tax effect of the Tax Act is incomplete and reported as provisional amounts based on reasonable estimates (to the extent determinable) subject to adjustments during a limited measurement period until complete, and (iii) accounting for the income tax effect of the Tax Act is not reasonably estimable (no related provisional amounts are reported in the enactment period) and entities would continue to apply accounting based on tax law provisions in effect prior to the Tax Act enactment until provisional amounts are reasonably estimable. SAB No. 118 requires disclosure of the reasons for incomplete accounting additional information or analysis needed, among other relevant information. The Company is continuing to gather additional information to determine the final impact.
Fair Value Measurement: In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The ASU modifies the disclosure requirements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, by removing certain disclosure requirements related to the fair value hierarchy, modifying existing disclosure requirements related to measurement uncertainty and adding new disclosure requirements, such as disclosing the changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period and disclosing the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. This ASU is effective for public companies for annual reporting periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the effect, if any, that the ASU will have on its financial statements.

NOTE 4. INCOME TAXES
U.S.A
The Company is incorporated in the State of Nevada in the United States of America and is subject to the U.S. federal and state taxation. No provision for income taxes have been made as the Company has no taxable income.
On December 22, 2017 H.R. 1, originally known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, (the Tax Act) was enacted. Among the significant changes to the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, the Tax Act lowers the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate (Federal Tax Rate) from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018. The 21% Federal Tax Rate will apply to earnings reported for the full 2018 fiscal year. In addition, the Company must re-measure its net deferred tax assets and liabilities using the Federal Tax Rate that will apply when these amounts are expected to reverse. As of December 31, 2018, the Company can determine a reasonable estimate for certain effects of tax reform and is recording that estimate as a provisional amount. The provisional remeasurement of the deferred tax assets and allowance valuation of deferred tax assets at December 31, 2018 resulted in a net effect of $0 discrete tax expenses (benefit) which lowered the effective tax rate by 14% for the year ended December 31, 2018. The provisional remeasurement amount is anticipated to change as data becomes available allowing more accurate scheduling of the deferred tax assets and liabilities primarily related to net operating loss carryover.
Income before income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 includes the results of operations of Taiwan and British Virgin Islands.
British Virgin Islands
Omphalos Corp. (B.V.I.) and All Fine Technology Co., Ltd. (B.V.I.) are incorporated in British Virgin Islands and are not required to pay income tax.
Taiwan

According to the amendments to the Income Tax Act enacted by the office of the President of Taiwan on February 7, 2018, an increase in the statutory income tax rate from 17% to 20% and decrease in the undistributed earning tax from 10% to 5% are effective from January 1, 2018. This increase in the statutory income tax rate does not affect the amounts of the current taxes recognized as of December 31, 2017 and for the year then ended. Omphalos Corp. and All Fine Technology Co., Ltd. incurred losses for the years 2018 and 2017. As a result, no tax liability was incurred.
The provision for income taxes calculated at the statutory rates in the combined statements of income is as follows for the years ended December 31:
