Business Overview
Rito Group Corp., a Nevada corporation (“the Company”) was incorporated under the laws
of the State of Nevada on March 24, 2015.
Rito Group Corp is a company that operates through its wholly owned subsidiary, Sino Union International Limited, a Company organized under the laws of the British Colony, Anguilla. It should be noted that our wholly owned subsidiary, Sino Union International Limited. owns 100% of Rito International Enterprise Company Limited, a Hong Kong Company.
At this time, we operate exclusively through our wholly owned subsidiary and share the same business plan of our subsidiary which is the sale of miscellaneous retail goods. Sino Union International Limited also shares the same business plan of Rito International Enterprise Company Limited.
We are a development stage Company. Thus far the Company has been actively searching for companies that may be interested in listing their own products for sale on our “Rito Online Mall”, which is now still at the designing stage and is believed to be launched once the development is finalized. The Rito Online Mall provides a platform for merchants and customers to facilitate transactions and take advantage of the growth opportunity we have identified in Hong Kong’s E-Commerce Industry.
The products Rito Online mall tends to include are handmade accessories, necklaces, watches, cookware, and numerous other products that we feel will be highly marketable to the population of Hong Kong in particular. Given the ever increasing competitive market we plan to operate in, Rito Group Corp feels that by utilizing the emerging E-Commerce business model known as Online to Offline (O2O) to give us a strategic advantage based around the shopping patterns of the average Hong Kong citizen.
Rito Online Mall plans to feature products from many different retailers, disclosed in greater detail below. In order to generate revenue from the Rito Online Mall all of our members are required to pay a base membership fee. In order to list on our website vendors do not need to pay a membership or listing fee. And our members serve as our sales force and assist in selling the products listed by vendors on the Rito Online Mall. For members successful in selling products on the mall, they will have their names entered in as a reference and they will receive a commission on the sale of products. The membership fees and commissions have not been determined yet, and will be evaluated and implemented as our business continues to develop.
Store-based retailing remains the preferred channel for most consumers in Hong Kong. This is possibly motivated by the sheer abundance of chain and independent retailers conveniently located around Hong Kong. In addition, within Hong Kong a significant part of the culture is to go from store to store and purchase goods as opposed to ordering them online. Citizens prefer to go to the store to look at goods versus simply ordering them online, order and wait. By finding what they are looking for on our online mall and being given the option to go to our physical location to view our display products (which will be identical to those offered at the store, but for display purposes only and not for sale) and see them before they order this will cater to the growing internet usage of the region while also keeping an important aspect of the culture intact.
We currently have one physical location which has displayed pieces of the items available on our platform for consumers to look at and test prior to purchasing the products online. We have leased one retail store in Shenzhen, one of which opened in September 2015. The target demographic for this marketing strategy is primarily middle-class individuals of all ages who want to improve their quality of life. To that end the online shop will mainly list high quality products with international brand recognition. In the future, Rito plans to open numerous showrooms in Asia, not strictly limited to Hong Kong, so that we can reach an even larger market should our initial model within Hong Kong prove to be as successful as we project.

Trading in stocks quoted on the OTCQB is often thin and is characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices due to many factors that may have little to do with a company’s operations or business prospects. We cannot assure you that there will be a market for our common stock in the future.
Holders
As of June 30, 2017, we had 54,625,956 shares of our Common Stock par value, $.0001 issued and outstanding. There were 132 beneficial owners of our Common Stock.
Transfer Agent and Registrar
The transfer agent for our capital stock is Vstock Transfer, LLC, with an address at 18 Lafayette Place, Woodmere, NY 11598 and telephone number is 212-828-8436.
Penny Stock Regulations
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations which generally define “penny stock” to be an equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share. Our Common Stock, when and if a trading market develops, may fall within the definition of penny stock and be subject to rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally those with assets in excess of $1,000,000, or annual incomes exceeding $200,000 individually, or $300,000, together with their spouse).
For transactions covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of such securities and have received the purchaser’s prior written consent to the transaction. Additionally, for any transaction, other than exempt transactions, involving a penny stock, the rules require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a risk disclosure document mandated by the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market-maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer’s presumed control over the market. Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. Consequently, the “penny stock” rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell our Common Stock and may affect the ability of investors to sell their Common Stock in the secondary market.
In addition to the “penny stock” rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit the investors’ ability to buy and sell our stock.
Dividend Policy
Any future determination as to the declaration and payment of dividends on shares of our Common Stock will be made at the discretion of our board of directors out of funds legally available for such purpose. We are under no contractual obligations or restrictions to declare or pay dividends on our shares of Common Stock. In addition, we currently have no plans to pay such dividends. Our board of directors currently intends to retain all earnings for use in the business for the foreseeable future.

The revenues, if any, generated from our current business operations alone may not be sufficient to fund our operations or planned growth. We will likely require additional capital to continue to operate our business, and to further expand our business. Sources of additional capital through various financing transactions or arrangements with third parties may include equity or debt financing, bank loans or revolving credit facilities. We may not be successful in locating suitable financing transactions in the time period required or at all, and we may not obtain the capital we require by other means. Our inability to raise additional funds when required may have a negative impact on our operations, business development and financial results.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Use of estimates
In preparing these consolidated financial statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the balance sheets, and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost and represent cash on hand, demand deposits placed with banks or other financial institutions and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less as of the purchase date of such investments.
11 |
Subscription receivables
For the year ended June 30, 2017, the Company issued 42,600 shares of common stock at $1.5 per share for cash of $63,900 with no subscription receivable. For the year ended June 30, 2016, the Company issued 192,880 shares of common stock at $1.5 per share for cash of $289,320 with $30,000 subscription receivable.
Intangible assets
Intangible assets comprised of an e-commerce customers’ relationship management system (the “System”) which was acquired from an independent third party. The cost of the System will be amortized over the life of three years from the date the Company commence its online trading business. In accordance with ASC Topic 350, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other” (ASC 350), the costs of internally developing other intangible assets are expensed as incurred. However, as allowed by ASC 350, costs associated with the acquisition of intangible assets from third parties, legal fees and similar costs relating to the acquired intangible asset have been capitalized. As of June 30, 2017, the Company has not yet started to use the System.
Impairment of long-lived assets
Long-lived assets primarily include intangible assets. In accordance with the provision of ASC Topic 360-10-5, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, the Company generally conducts its annual impairment evaluation to its long-lived assets, usually in the fourth quarter of each year, or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist, such as a significant sustained change in the business climate. The recoverability of long-lived assets is measured at the reporting unit level. If the total of the expected undiscounted future net cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, a loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and carrying amount of the asset. For the years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $Nil and $10,900, respectively for intangible assets.
Revenue recognition
In accordance with the Accounting Standard Codification Topic 605 “Revenue Recognition” (“ASC 605”), the Company recognizes revenue when the following four criteria are met: (1) delivery has occurred or services rendered; (2) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (3) there are no continuing obligations to the customer; and (4) the collection of related accounts receivable is probable.
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of discounts and taxes applicable to the revenue. Revenue from trading of retail goods is recognized when title and risk of loss are transferred and there are no continuing obligations to the customer. Title and the risks and rewards of ownership transfer to and accepted by the customer when the products are collected by the customer at the Company’s office. Revenue is recorded net of sales discounts, returns, allowances, and other adjustments that are based upon management’s best estimates and historical experience and are provided for in the same period as the related revenues are recorded. Based on limited operating history, management estimates that there was no sales return for the period reported.
The Company derives its revenue from direct sales to individuals and online sales business. Generally, the Company recognizes revenue when products are sold and accepted by the customers and there are no continuing obligations to the customer.
12 |
Cost of revenue
Cost of revenue includes the purchase cost of retail goods for re-sale to the customers.
Income taxes
The provision of income taxes is determined in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the periods in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Any effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in their financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740, tax positions must initially be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions must initially and subsequently be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the position and relevant facts.
The Company did not have any unrecognized tax positions or benefits and there was no effect on the financial conditions or results of operations for the year ended June 30, 2017 and period ended June 30, 2016. The Company conducts major businesses in Hong Kong and is subject to tax in this jurisdiction. As a result of its business activities, the Company will file tax returns that are subject to examination by the foreign tax authority.
Net loss per share
The Company calculates net loss per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260 “Earnings per share”. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common stock equivalents had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive.
Foreign currencies translation
Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the statements of operations.
The reporting currency of the Company and its subsidiary in Anguilla is United States Dollars (“US$”). The Company’s subsidiary in Hong Kong maintains its books and record in Hong Kong Dollars (“HK$”), which is functional currency as being the primary currency of the economic environment in which the entity operates.
In general, for consolidation purposes, assets and liabilities of its subsidiary whose functional currency is not the US$ are translated into US$, in accordance with ASC Topic 830-30, “Translation of Financial Statement”, using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the period. The gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements of foreign subsidiary are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity.
13 |
Translation of amounts from HK$ into US$1 has been made at the following exchange rates for the respective periods:
As
of and for the year ended June 30, 2017 | As
of and for the year ended June 30, 2016 | |||||||
Year-end / average HK$: US$1 exchange rate | 7.75 | 7.75 |
Related parties
Parties, which can be a corporation or individual, are considered to be related if the Company has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Companies are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence.
Fair value of financial instruments:
The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments: cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and amount due to a director approximate at their fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments.
The Company also follows the guidance of the ASC Topic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820-10”), with respect to financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value. ASC 820-10 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; | |
Level 2: Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and | |
Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. |
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market information about the financial instrument. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.
Recent accounting pronouncements
The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and do not believe the future adoption of such any pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on its financial condition or the results of its operations, as follow:
The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and do not believe the future adoption of such any pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on its financial condition or the results of its operations, as follow:
In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605)”, and requires entities to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is not permitted.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern” (“ASU 2014-15”), which establishes management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and, if so, to provide related footnote disclosures. ASU 2014-15 provides a definition of the term “substantial doubt” and requires an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued or available to be issued. Management will also be required to evaluate and disclose whether its plans alleviate that doubt. The guidance is effective for the annual periods ending after December 15, 2016 and interim periods thereafter with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2014-15 on the Company’s financial statement presentation and disclosures.
14 |
In August 2015, the FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update to defer by one year the effective dates of its new revenue recognition standard until annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 (2018 for calendar-year public entities) and interim periods therein. Management is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 and has not determined the effect of the standard on our ongoing financial reporting.
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) . Under the new guidance, lessees will be required recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date: 1) A lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and 2) A right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. The new lease guidance simplified the accounting for sale and leaseback transactions primarily because lessees must recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. Lessees will no longer be provided with a source of off-balance sheet financing. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those years. The Company is evaluating this ASU and has not determined the effect of this standard on its ongoing financial reporting.
The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and does not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on its financial condition or the results of its operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2017, we have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to our stockholders.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosures Control and Procedures
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the company’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and includes those policies and procedures that:
● | Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; | |
● | Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and | |
● | Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. |
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 or procedures may deteriorate. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.
As of June 30, 2017, management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) and SEC guidance on conducting such assessments. Based on such evaluation, the Company’s management concluded that, during the period covered by this Report, internal controls and procedures over financial reporting were not effective. This was due to deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal controls over financial reporting that adversely affected our internal controls and that may be considered to be material weaknesses.
Identified Material Weaknesses
A material weakness in internal control over financial reporting is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the financial statements will not be prevented or detected.
Management identified the following material weaknesses during its assessment of internal controls over financial reporting as of June 30, 2017.
1. | We do not have an Audit Committee – While not being legally obligated to have an audit committee, it is the management’s view that such a committee, including a financial expert member, is an utmost important entity level control over the Company’s financial statement. Currently the Chief Executive Officer and Director act in the capacity of the Audit Committee, and does not include a member that is considered to be independent of management to provide the necessary oversight over management’s activities. |
2. | We do not have Written Policies & Procedures – Due to lack of written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting, the Company did not establish a formal process to close our books monthly and account for all transactions and thus failed to properly record the Private Placement or disclose such transactions in its SEC filings in a timely manner. |
3. | We did not implement appropriate information technology controls – As at June 30, 2017, the Company retains copies of all financial data and material agreements; however, there is no formal procedure or evidence of normal backup of the Company’s data or off-site storage of the data in the event of theft, misplacement, or loss due to unmitigated factors. |
16 |
Accordingly, the Company concluded that these control deficiencies resulted in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by the company’s internal controls.
As a result of the material weaknesses described above, management has concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2017 based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by COSO.
Management’s Remediation Initiatives
In an effort to remediate the identified material weaknesses and other deficiencies and enhance our internal controls, we have initiated, or plan to initiate, the following series of measures:
1. | We plan to create a position to segregate duties consistent with control objectives and will increase our personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function when funds are available to us. The accounting personnel is responsible for reviewing the financing activities, facilitate the approval of the financing, record the information regarding the financing, and submit SEC filing related documents to our legal counsel in order to comply with the filing requirements of SEC. |
2. | We plan to prepare written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting to establish a formal process to close our books monthly on an accrual basis and account for all transactions, including equity and debt transactions. |
3. | We intend to add staff members to our management team for making sure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed and submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required and the staff members will have segregated responsibilities with regard to these responsibilities. |
We anticipate that these initiatives will be at least partially, if not fully, implemented by the end of fiscal year 2017.
Changes in internal controls over financial reporting
There was no change in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Report, which has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting:
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered independent public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered independent public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
None.

Corporate Governance
The Company promotes accountability for adherence to honest and ethical conduct; endeavors to provide full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that the Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and in other public communications made by the Company; and strives to be compliant with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations. The Company has not formally adopted a written code of business conduct and ethics that governs the Company’s employees, officers and Directors as the Company is not required to do so.
In lieu of an Audit Committee, the Company’s Board of Directors, is responsible for reviewing and making recommendations concerning the selection of outside auditors, reviewing the scope, results and effectiveness of the annual audit of the Company’s financial statements and other services provided by the Company’s independent public accountants. The Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company review the Company’s internal accounting controls, practices and policies.
Committees of the Board
Our Company currently does not have nominating, compensation, or audit committees or committees performing similar functions nor does our Company have a written nominating, compensation or audit committee charter. Our Directors believes that it is not necessary to have such committees, at this time, because the Directors can adequately perform the functions of such committees.
Audit Committee Financial Expert
Our Board of Directors has determined that we do not have a board member that qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Item 407(D)(5) of Regulation S-K, nor do we have a Board member that qualifies as “independent” as the term is used in Item 7(d)(3)(iv)(B) of Schedule 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and as defined by Rule 4200(a)(14) of the FINRA Rules.
19 |
Audit committee financial expert means a person who has the following attributes:
1. | An understanding of generally accepted accounting principles and financial statements; |
2. | Experience applying such generally accepted accounting principles in connection with the accounting for estimates, accruals, and reserves that are generally comparable to the estimates, accruals and reserves, if any, used in the registrant’s financial statements; |
3. | Experience preparing or auditing financial statements that present accounting issues that are generally comparable to those raised by the registrant’s financial statements; |
4. | Experience with internal controls and procedures for financial reporting; and |
5. | An understanding of audit committee functions. |
Currently, our Company does not have an audit committee or an audit committee financial expert (as defined in Item 407 of Regulation S-K) serving on its Board of Directors because given the early stage of our business development, it is costly to retain an independent Director who qualify as an audit committee financial expert. However, we expect, in the foreseeable future, to form such a committee composed of our non-employee directors. We may in the future attempt to add a qualified board member to serve as an audit committee financial expert in the future, subject to our ability to locate and compensate such a person. The audit committee’s duties will be to recommend to our Company’s Board of Directors the engagement of an independent registered public accounting firm to audit our Company’s financial statements and to review our Company’s accounting and auditing principles.
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
Our Directors and our Executive officers have not been involved in any of the following events during
the past ten years:
1. | Bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time; |
2. | Any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses); |

Code of Ethics
We have not adopted a formal Code of Ethics. The Board of Directors evaluated the business of the Company and the number of employees and determined that since the business is operated by a small number of persons, general rules of fiduciary duty and federal and state criminal, business conduct and securities laws are adequate ethical guidelines. In the event our operations, employees and/or Directors expand in the future, we may take actions to adopt a formal Code of Ethics.
Shareholder Proposals
Our Company does not have any defined policy or procedural requirements for shareholders to submit recommendations or nominations for Directors. The Board of Directors believes that, given the stage of our development, a specific nominating policy would be premature and of little assistance until our business operations develop to a more advanced level. Our Company does not currently have any specific or minimum criteria for the election of nominees to the Board of Directors and we do not have any specific process or procedure for evaluating such nominees. The Board of Directors will assess all candidates, whether submitted by management or shareholders, and make recommendations for election or appointment.
A shareholder who wishes to communicate with our Board of Directors may do so by directing a written request addressed to our President, at the address appearing on the first page of this Information Statement.
SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of our common stock, to file reports regarding ownership of, and transactions in, our securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission and to provide us with copies of those filings. Based solely on our review of the copies of such forms furnished to us and written representations by our officers and directors regarding their compliance with applicable reporting requirements under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, we believe that all Section 16(a) filing requirements for our executive officers, directors and 10% stockholders were met during the year ended June 30, 2017.

The $10.00 in proceeds went directly to the Company as working capital.
On May 15, 2015 we “Rito Group Corp.” exchanged 100,000 shares of our restricted common stock at a par value of $0.0001 with Or Ka Ming, the controlling shareholder of Sino Union International Limited, for 100% of the common stock of Sino Union International Limited. The consideration was in form of shares and the value of the share exchange was in the amount of $10.00. Sino Union International Limited is now our wholly owned subsidiary which shares our exact business plan of which we operate through exclusively at this time.
On June 8, 2015 Rito Group Holding Limited, China South Telecom Group Company Limited and Greenpro Venture Capital Limited purchased 17,400,000, 17,500,000, and 15,000,000 shares of restricted common stock respectively, each with a par value of $.0001 per share, from the Company.

The Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 8% per annum with a maturity of two years, due in 2017 and 2018. The principal and accrued interest are payable in a lump sum at the maturity. The notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price ranged from $0.15 to $0.25 per share at the note holders’ sole and exclusive option.

Review, Approval and Ratification of Related Party Transactions
Given our small size and limited financial resources, we have not adopted formal policies and procedures for the review, approval or ratification of transactions, such as those described above, with our executive officer(s), Director(s) and significant stockholders. We intend to establish formal policies and procedures in the future, once we have sufficient resources and have appointed additional Directors, so that such transactions will be subject to the review, approval or ratification of our Board of Directors, or an appropriate committee thereof. On a moving forward basis, our Directors will continue to approve any related party transaction.
Director Independence
Our board of directors is currently composed of four members, neither of whom qualifies as an independent director in accordance with the published listing requirements of the NASDAQ Global Market. The NASDAQ independence definition includes a series of objective tests, such as that the director is not, and has not been for at least three years, one of our employees and that neither the director, nor any of his family members has engaged in various types of business dealings with us. In addition, our board of directors has not made a subjective determination as to each director that no relationships exist which, in the opinion of our board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director, though such subjective determination is required by the NASDAQ rules. Had our board of directors made these determinations, our board of directors would have reviewed and discussed information provided by the directors and us with regard to each director’s business and personal activities and relationships as they may relate to us and our management.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Rito Group Corp.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of RITO GROUP CORP. (‘the Company’) as of June 30, 2017 and 2016, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity and consolidated statements of cash flows for each of the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatements. The Company was not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statements presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of RITO GROUP CORP. as of June 30, 2017 and 2016, and the consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for each of the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, during the years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company incurred net losses of $704,310 and $834,052, respectively. Future working capital requirements are dependent on the Company’s ability to achieve and maintain profitable operations. It is not possible to predict the outcome of future operations. Those conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters also are described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS BACKGROUND
Rito Group Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated on March 24, 2015 under the laws of the state of Nevada.
The Company, through its subsidiaries, mainly engages in trading of retail goods such as handmade accessories, necklaces, watches, cookware, and numerous other products.
Details of the Company’s subsidiaries:
Company name | Place/date of incorporation | Particulars of issued capital | Principal activities | ||||
1. | Sino Union International Limited (“Sino Union”) | Anguilla January 3, 2014 |
84,500 shares of ordinary share of US$1 each | Investment holding | |||
2. | Rito International Enterprise Company Limited (“Rito International”) | Hong Kong August 12, 2014 |
630,001 shares of ordinary share of HK$1 each | Trading of retail goods |
Rito Group Corp. and its subsidiaries are hereinafter referred to as the “Company”.
2. GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTIES
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared using the going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
As of June 30, 2017, the Company suffered an accumulated deficit of $1,639,122 as at June 30, 2017. The continuation of the Company as a going concern through June 30, 2018 is dependent upon improving the profitability and the continuing financial support from its stockholders. Management believes the existing shareholders or external financing will provide the additional cash to meet the Company’s obligations as they become due.
These and other factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These 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 in the Company not being able to continue as a going concern.
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the application of certain significant accounting policies as described in this note and elsewhere in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes.
Basis of presentation
These accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Rito Group Corp. and its subsidiary. All significant inter-company balances and transactions within the Company have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Use of estimates
In preparing these consolidated financial statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the balance sheets, and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost and represent cash on hand, demand deposits placed with banks or other financial institutions and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less as of the purchase date of such investments.
Subscription receivables
For the year ended June 30, 2017, the Company issued 42,600 shares of common stock at $1.5 per share for cash of $63,900. For the year ended June 30, 2016, the Company issued 192,880 shares of common stock at $1.5 per share for cash of $289,320. As of June 30, 2017, there is no subscription receivable.
Intangible assets
Intangible assets comprised of an e-commerce customers’ relationship management system (the “System”) which was acquired from an independent third party. The cost of the System will be amortized over the life of three years from the date the Company commence its online trading business. In accordance with ASC Topic 350, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other” (ASC 350), the costs of internally developing other intangible assets are expensed as incurred. However, as allowed by ASC 350, costs associated with the acquisition of intangible assets from third parties, legal fees and similar costs relating to the acquired intangible asset have been capitalized. As of June 30, 2017, the Company has not yet started to use the System.
Impairment of long-lived assets
Long-lived assets primarily include intangible assets. In accordance with the provision of ASC Topic 360-10-5, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, the Company generally conducts its annual impairment evaluation to its long-lived assets, usually in the fourth quarter of each year, or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist, such as a significant sustained change in the business climate. The recoverability of long-lived assets is measured at the reporting unit level. If the total of the expected undiscounted future net cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, a loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and carrying amount of the asset. For the years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $Nil and 10,900, respectively for intangible assets.

Revenue recognition
In accordance with ASC Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition”, the Company recognizes revenue from sales of goods when the following four revenue criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) selling price is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured.
Revenue from trading of retail goods is recognized when title and risk of loss are transferred and there are no continuing obligations to the customer. Title and the risks and rewards of ownership transfer to and accepted by the customer when the products are collected by the customer at the Company’s office. Revenue is recorded net of sales discounts, returns, allowances, and other adjustments that are based upon management’s best estimates and historical experience and are provided for in the same period as the related revenues are recorded. Based on limited operating history, management estimates that there was no sale return for the period reported.
The Company derives its revenue from direct sales to individuals and online sales business. Generally, the Company recognizes revenue when products are sold and accepted by the customers and there are no continuing obligations to the customer.
Cost of revenue
Cost of revenue includes the purchase cost of retail goods for re-sale to the customers.
Income taxes
The provision of income taxes is determined in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the periods in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Any effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in their financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740, tax positions must initially be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions must initially and subsequently be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the position and relevant facts.
The Company conducts much of its businesses activities in Hong Kong and is subject to tax in this jurisdiction. As a result of its business activities, the Company will file separate tax returns that are subject to examination by the foreign tax authorities.
Net loss per share
The Company calculates net loss per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260 “Earnings per share”. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common stock equivalents had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive.

Foreign currencies translation
Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the statements of operations.
The reporting currency of the Company and its subsidiary in Anguilla is United States Dollars (“US$”). The Company’s subsidiary in Hong Kong maintains its books and record in Hong Kong Dollars (“HK$”), which is functional currency as being the primary currency of the economic environment in which the entity operates.
In general, for consolidation purposes, assets and liabilities of its subsidiary whose functional currency is not the US$ are translated into US$, in accordance with ASC Topic 830-30, “Translation of Financial Statement”, using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the period. The gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements of foreign subsidiary are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the statement of stockholders’ equity.
Translation of amounts from HK$ into US$1 has been made at the following exchange rates for the respective periods:
As
of and for the year ended June 30, 2017 | As
of and for the year ended June 30, 2016 | |||||||

Related parties
Parties, which can be a corporation or individual, are considered to be related if the Company has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Companies are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence.
Fair value of financial instruments:
The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments: cash and cash equivalents, subscription receivables, prepayment and deposits, accounts payable, and other payables and accrued liabilities approximate at their fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments.
The Company also follows the guidance of the ASC Topic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820-10”), with respect to financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value. ASC 820-10 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
Level 2: Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market information about the financial instrument. These estimates are subjective e in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.
Recent accounting pronouncements
The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and do not believe the future adoption of such any pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on its financial condition or the results of its operations, as follow:
In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605)”, and requires entities to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is not permitted.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern” (“ASU 2014-15”), which establishes management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and, if so, to provide related footnote disclosures. ASU 2014-15 provides a definition of the term “substantial doubt” and requires an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued or available to be issued. Management will also be required to evaluate and disclose whether its plans alleviate that doubt. The guidance is effective for the annual periods ending after December 15, 2016 and interim periods thereafter with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2014-15 on the Company’s financial statement presentation and disclosures.
In August 2015, the FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update to defer by one year the effective dates of its new revenue recognition standard until annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 (2018 for calendar-year public entities) and interim periods therein. Management is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 and has not determined the effect of the standard on our ongoing financial reporting.
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) . Under the new guidance, lessees will be required recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date: 1) A lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and 2) A right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. The new lease guidance simplified the accounting for sale and leaseback transactions primarily because lessees must recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. Lessees will no longer be provided with a source of off-balance sheet financing. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those years. The Company is evaluating this ASU and has not determined the effect of this standard on its ongoing financial reporting.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2017 AND 2016
(Currency expressed in United States Dollars (“US$”, except for number of shares)
(c) Credit risk
Financial instruments that are potentially subject to credit risk consist principally of accounts receivable. The Company believes the concentration of credit risk in its trade receivables is substantially mitigated by its ongoing credit evaluation process and relatively short collection terms. The Company does not generally require collateral from customers. The Company evaluates the need for an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information.
(d) Exchange rate risk
The Company cannot guarantee that the current exchange rate will remain steady; therefore, there is a possibility that the Company could post the same amount of profit for two comparable periods and because of the fluctuating exchange rate actually post higher or lower profit depending on exchange rate of HK$ converted to US$ on that date. The exchange rate could fluctuate depending on changes in political and economic environments without notice.
