Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in our financial statements and the accompanying notes. The amounts of assets and liabilities reported on our balance sheet and the amounts of expenses reported for each of our fiscal periods are affected by estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The following critical accounting policies are significantly affected by judgments, assumptions and estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements:
Revenue Recognition
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers outlines the basic criteria that must be met to recognize revenue and provide guidance for presentation of revenue and for disclosure related to revenue recognition policies in financial statements filed with Securities and Exchange Commission. Management believes the Company’s revenue recognition policies conform to ASC 606.As of December 31, 2018, the Company has not recognized any revenue.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740, Income Taxes. Under ASC 740, 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 bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Management provides a valuation allowance for significant deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that such asset will not be recovered.
Item 7A – Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Not applicable.
Item 8 – Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
Our financial statements and accompanying notes and the report of our independent registered public accounting firm are listed in Part IV starting on page F-1.
Item 9 – Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosures
None
Item 9A – Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
Based on management's evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President concluded that, as a result of the material weaknesses described below, as of December 31, 2018, our disclosure controls and procedures are not designed at a reasonable assurance level and are ineffective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The material weaknesses, which relate to internal control over financial reporting, that were identified are:
(i) We did not have sufficient personnel in our accounting and financial reporting functions. As a result, we were not able to achieve adequate segregation of duties and were not able to provide for adequate reviewing of the financial statements. This control deficiency, which is pervasive in nature, results in a reasonable possibility that material misstatements of the financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Management believes that the hiring of additional personnel who have the technical expertise and knowledge with the non-routine or technical issues we have encountered in the past will result in both proper recording of these transactions and a much more knowledgeable finance department as a whole. Due to the fact that our accounting staff consists of a Chief Financial Officer, additional personnel will also ensure the proper segregation of duties and provide more checks and balances within the department. Additional personnel will also provide the cross training needed to support us if personnel turnover issues within the department occur. We believe this will eliminate or greatly decrease any control and procedure issues we may encounter in the future.
We will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and are committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow.
(ii) Changes in internal control over financial reporting.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rule 13a-15 or 15d-15 under the Exchange Act that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2018 that have materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
(iii) Management's report on internal control over financial reporting.
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2018 for the reasons discussed above.
This annual report does not include an attestation report by Pinnacle Accountancy Group of Utah (a DBA of Heaton & Co., PLLC), our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. As a smaller reporting company, our management's report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management's report in this annual report.
None.

Mr. Nisan developed software to provide clients with solutions for issues ranging from inventory management to payroll to processing a high volume of transactions in the form of a cloud-based point of sale system. This system had the capability to manage multiple stores with centralized inventory and process sales without an internet connection, and offered a secure login for each employee. It included advanced inventory management and reporting plus powerful functionality for its end users.
In May 2016, Mr. Nisan founded QuickCitizen for which he has served as CEO and Director since its founding. Through QuickCitizen, Mr. Nisan conceptualized and created a software that simplifies the immigration paperwork process for lawyers and law firms, reducing the processing time from approximately three hours to fifteen minutes. The software breaks down immigration processes into simple steps and translates the instructions into the client’s chosen language, so they can clearly understand it. Mr. Nisan developed the reporting dashboard, step-by-step questionnaire, forms, cloud document storage, automated workflow, and client portal for the software.
Employment Agreements
The Company has not entered into employment agreements or other compensation agreements with its executive officers.
Family Relationships
There are no family relationships between any of our directors or executive officers and any other directors or executive officers.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Owner Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Officers, directors and greater than 10% owners are required by certain SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.
Based solely upon a review of copies of such forms filed on Forms 3, 4, and 5, and amendments thereto furnished to us, we believe that as of December 31, 2018 our executive officers, directors and greater than 10 percent beneficial owners have complied on a timely basis with all Section 16(a) filing requirements, with the exception of the following: our two executive officers and directors have not yet filed a Form 3 following the closing of the change in control of the Company.
Code of Ethics
We have not previously adopted a Code of Ethics due to the small number of officers and employees and the size of our operations. It is anticipated that during 2019 we will adopt a Code of Ethics that applies to all of the Company’s directors and executive officers serving in any capacity, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller or persons performing similar functions.
Board Composition, Committees, and Independence
We are not required to have any independent members of the Board of Directors. As we do not have any board committees, the board as a whole carries out the functions of nominating and compensation committees, and such “independent director” determination has been made pursuant to the committee independence standards.
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
Our two executive officers and directors have not been involved in any of the following events during the past ten years:
|
1. |
any bankruptcy petition filed by or against such person or 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 (a); |
|
2. |
any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses); |
|
3. |
being subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining him from or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities or to be associated with any person practicing in banking or securities activities; |
|
4. |
being found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a civil action, the Securities and Exchange Commission or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended, or vacated; |
|
5. |
being subject of, or a party to, any federal or state judicial or administrative order, judgment decree, or finding, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, relating to an alleged violation of any federal or state securities or commodities law or regulation, any law or regulation respecting financial institutions or insurance companies, or any law or regulation prohibiting mail or wire fraud or fraud in connection with any business entity; or |
|
6. |
being subject of or party to any sanction or order, not subsequently reversed, suspended, or vacated, of any self-regulatory organization, any registered entity or any equivalent exchange, association, entity or organization that has disciplinary authority over its members or persons associated with a member. |

GREENBOX POS
Index To Financial Statements
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
GreenBox POS:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of GreenBox POS, (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the result of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Explanatory Paragraph Regarding Going Concern
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, the Company has incurred losses, and has not yet generated revenue These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s 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 audits 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 Company’s 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.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2017.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2018 and 2017
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
ORGANIZATION
GreenBox POS (“GreenBox” or the “Company”) was originally incorporated on April 10, 2007 under the laws of the State of Nevada as ASAP Expo, Inc. Prior to July 2011, the investment banking services division was the core business of ASAP Expo. ASAP Expo helped small and medium sized businesses raise funds and promote business through capital markets. In July 2011, ASAP Expo transitioned its core business to providing real estate advisory services from investment banking advisory services for Chinese companies and high net worth individuals.
On March 23, 2018, Frank Yuan, the controlling shareholder of ASAP Expo, Inc., entered into a stock purchase agreement whereby it sold 144,445,000 shares of ASAP Expo Inc.'s common stock to GreenBox POS LLC, representing 90% of ASAP Expo, Inc.'s issued and outstanding shares of common stock. Pursuant to this transaction, on April 12, 2018, ASAP Expo, Inc. entered into an asset purchase agreement whereby it assigned the entirety of its assets to ASAP Property Holdings, Inc. in consideration of assumption of the entirety of its liabilities.
The transaction contemplated in the March 23, 2018 stock purchase agreement was closed on May 3, 2018, and a change of control of ASAP Expo, Inc. was effected. Thereafter, the Company changed its name to “GreenBox POS LLC” and subsequently to “GreenBox POS.”
Since April 12, 2018, the Company’s operations have consisted of providing management and business development services.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The financial statements include the accounts of Greenbox POS, LLC, a Nevada Corporation. All amounts are presented in U.S. Dollars unless otherwise stated. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, cash on deposit with banks, and highly liquid debt investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased. The Company has cash equivalents of $nil and $nil as of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.
GOING CONCERN
As of December 31, 2018, the Company had cash of $nil, has incurred losses and has accumulated a significant deficit. During the year ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company has not yet generated any revenues, and has incurred a net loss from continuing operations of $53,298. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company intends to raise additional capital through private placements of debt and equity securities, but there can be no assurance that these funds will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or will be sufficient to enable the Company to fully complete its development activities or sustain operations. If the Company is unable to raise sufficient additional funds, it will have to develop and implement a plan to further extend payables, reduce overhead, or scale back its current business plan until sufficient additional capital is raised to support further operations. There can be no assurance that such a plan will be successful.
Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company’s financial instruments consist of a note receivable from related party and interest receivables from related party, convertible notes payable and accrued liabilities. The fair value of these financial instruments approximate their carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets due to the short term maturity of these instruments.
Fair Value Measurements
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 - Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
Level 3 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE
The Company accounts for convertible promissory notes in accordance with ASC 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options. The Company evaluates embedded conversion features within convertible debt to determine whether the embedded conversion feature should be bifurcated from the host instrument and accounted for as a derivative at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in the Income Statement. If the conversion feature does not require recognition of a bifurcated derivative, the convertible debt instrument is evaluated for consideration of any beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) requiring separate recognition. When the Company records a BCF, the intrinsic value of the BCF is recorded as a debt discount against the face amount of the respective debt instrument with an offset to additional paid-in capital and amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
LEASES
Lease for office space at our corporate headquarters is classified as an operating lease in accordance with ASC 840, Leases. Rent expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases and, accordingly, we record the cumulative difference between cash rent payments and the recognition of rent expense as a deferred rent liability. When an operating lease includes lease incentives, such as a rent abatements or leasehold improvement allowances, or requires fixed escalations of the minimum lease payments, the aggregate rental expense, including such incentives or increases, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
Aggregate future minimum annual payments under aforementioned leases at December 31, 2018, are as follows:

REVENUE RECOGNITION
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which outlines the basic criteria that must be met to recognize revenue and provide guidance for presentation of revenue and for disclosure related to revenue recognition policies in financial statements filed with Securities and Exchange Commission. Management believes the Company’s revenue recognition policies conform to ASC 606.
As of December 31, 2018, the Company has not generated any revenues from operations.
INCOME TAXES
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements, net of operating loss carry forwards and credits, by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is not more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws of the relevant taxing authorities.
EARNINGS PER SHARE
A basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the year.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In July 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) (“ASU 2017-11”). ASU 2017-11 changes the classification analysis of certain equity-linked financial instruments (or embedded features) with down-round features. The amendments require entities that present earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance with Topic 260 to recognize the effect of the down round feature when triggered with the effect treated as a dividend and as a reduction of income available to common shareholders in basic EPS. The new standard is effective for nonpublic business entities fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted for all entities, including adoption in an interim period. The new standard is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this accounting standard update.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires lessees to recognize “right of use” assets and liabilities for all leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. The ASU requires additional quantitative and qualitative financial statement footnote disclosures about the leases, significant judgments made in accounting for those leases and amounts recognized in the financial statements about those leases. The effective date will be fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this accounting standard update on its financial statements.
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
NOTE 2 – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On April 12, 2018, ASAP Property Holdings Inc. (“Holdings”) entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with the Company, to acquire all the assets and all liabilities of the Company (the “Acquired Assets”). On April 12, 2018, the Company completed the sale of its Acquired Assets in an asset purchase transaction (the “Transaction”) pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement.
As a result of the consummation of the Purchase Agreement, on April 12, 2018, in consideration for the Acquired Assets, Holdings paid the Company $nil in cash and assumed $234,605 of liabilities in excess of assets.
The allocation of the purchase price of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values was as follows:

NOTE 4 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
At December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, GreenBox was owed $0 and $20,881 from affiliated companies in which GreenBox’s officers are also owners and officers. The advance has no written note, is non-interest bearing and payable on demand to the Company and expected to be paid within one year.
The Company had a revolving line of credit totaling $1,800,000 with Frank Yuan, CEO and Jerome Yuan, his son. The line of credit bore interest at 6% per annum and was due upon demand, as amended. On December 31, 2014, the convertible note was amended to waive the right of conversion and was to be used as a line of credit. On April 12, 2018, Frank Yuan converted $144,445 of the line of credit to 144,445,000 shares. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company incurred interest expense totaling $3,333 and $25,964 in connection with the Line. The balance of the credit line as of December 31, 2018 was $0 and the accrued interest on the line of credit was $0. The balance of the credit line as of December 31, 2017 was $212,140 and the accrued interest was $32,100 and were reclassed to current liabilities of discontinued operations.
On April 12, 2018, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement whereby it assigned the entirety of its assets to ASAP Property Holdings, Inc., an affiliated entity owned and operated by Frank Yuan, in consideration of assumption of the entirety of its liabilities.
On August 7, 2018, in anticipation of a merger, the Company entered into a Promissory Note with GreenBox POS, whereby GreenBox POS received $250,000 to be used to facilitate business operations in anticipation of transferring such operations from GreenBox POS to the Company. GreenBox POS promised to pay the Company $250,000 plus interest at maturity (the “Note Receivable”). GreenBox POS is an affiliated company. The Note Receivable bears interest at a rate of 7.25% per annum and matures following the closing of the transaction. As of December 31, 2018, the balance of the Note Receivable was $250,000 and the balance of interest receivable was $6,275. This is a related party loan from the Company to GreenBox POS in anticipation of a transaction between the two entities. As the transaction has not yet closed, the loan has not yet matured.
On September 20, 2018, the Company and the Company and a related entity entered into a Definitive Material Agreement pursuant to which the Company will be assigned any and all assets related to the affiliated company’s blockchain gateway and payment system business, point of sale system business, delivery business, kiosk business (collectively, the “Business”), and all intellectual property thereto owned by the Seller in consideration of assuming any and all liabilities incident to the operation of the Business that have been incurred in the normal course of business. The transfer has not been effected as of year end as the Company had not finalized the transaction, see subsequent event footnote.
As of December 31, 2018, the Company is owed $736,000 by a related entity in anticipation of a merger or acquisition of the entity. This amount includes the August 7, 2018 Note Receivable referenced above.
In October 2018, and in anticipation of a merger, the Company issued 7,500,000 shares to an investor at a price per share of $0.001 in conversion of a promissory note issued by an affiliated company. The Company recorded a receivable in the amount of $7,500.
NOTE 5 – CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE
On August 6, 2018, the Company issued a convertible preferred note for $253,000. The note incurs interest at 10% per year and the outstanding principal and accrued interest are due on August 6, 2019, the maturity date. The note includes a conversion feature where, beginning 180 days after the issuance date, the lender may convert all or a portion of the outstanding principal and accrued interest balance into shares of the Company’s common stock determined by dividing the conversion amount by the conversion price. During the first 180 days, the Company is allowed to prepay the note and all accrued interest in full by paying an increasing prepayment percentage, which starts at 110% of the outstanding principal and interest and increasing by 5% every 30 days (110% from 0-30 days, 115% from 31-60 days, 120% from 61-90 days, 125% from 91-120, 130% from 121-150 days, and 135% from 151-180 days). After this period, the Company is no longer allowed to prepay the note and the conversion feature becomes active. The conversion price is determined by multiplying the market value of the Company’s common stock, as defined, by 65%. This represents a beneficial conversion feature that is not a derivative but must have its value recorded as a discount on the related note. The value of the conversion feature was calculated using the intrinsic value method, whereby the amount of the discount was calculated as the difference between the conversion price and the market price of the underlying stock at the date of issuance multiplied by the number of shares issuable. The Company recognized a debt discount of $131,787 on the convertible promissory note related to the beneficial conversion feature upon issuance, which is being amortized to interest expense over the one-year term of the note. For the year months ended December 31, 2018, the Company recognized $43,381 in amortization of the debt discount.
The Company paid $3,000 as loan origination fees on August 6, 2018 in obtaining the loan. The loan origination fee was recorded as deferred financing cost against the loan balance. For the year ended December 31, 2018, approximately $1,000 in deferred financing cost was amortized.
As of December 31, 2018, the principal balance of the Convertible Note was $253,000, and accrued interest on the Convertible Note was $10,259. During the period ended December 31, 2018, the Company recognized $31,238 in interest expense related to the Convertible Notes.

NOTE 7 – INCOME TAXES
The income taxes provision for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018 consists of current income tax of $nil.
On December 22, 2017, the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) was enacted into law including one-time mandatory transition tax on accumulated foreign earnings and a reduction of the corporate income tax rate from 34% to 21% effective January 1, 2018, among others. We are required to recognize the effect of the tax law changes in the period on enactment, such as determining the transition tax, remeasuring our U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities as well as reassessing the net realizability of our deferred tax assets and liabilities. The Company does not have any foreign earnings and therefore, we do not anticipate the impact of a transition tax. Since the Tax Act was passed late in the fourth quarter of 2017 and ongoing guidance and accounting interpretation are expected over the next 12 months, we consider the accounting of any transition tax, deferred tax remeasurements, and other items to be incomplete due to the forthcoming guidance and our ongoing analysis of final year-end data and tax positions. We expect to complete our analysis within the measurement period in accordance with SAB 118, no later than fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.
The Company reasonably estimated the effects of the U.S. Tax Act and recorded provisional amounts in our financial statements as of December 31, 2017. The Company recorded a provisional tax benefit for the impact of the U.S. Tax Act of approximately $77,974. This amount primarily comprised the remeasurement of federal net deferred tax liabilities resulting from the permanent reduction in the U.S. statutory corporate tax rate to 21% from 35%.
Interest associated with unrecognized tax benefits is classified as income tax and penalties are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the statements of operations and comprehensive income.

NOTE 8 – SHAREHOLDERS’ DEFICIT
Common Stock
On July 29, 2017, the Board of Directors of the Company approved to increase the authorized shares of the Company to 500,000,000 (the “Increase”), with 495,000,000 shares being Common Stock and 5,000,000 shares being preferred stock, subject to Stockholder approval. The Majority Stockholder approved the Increase by written consent in lieu of a meeting on July 29, 2017. The increased number of authorized shares was retroactively presented on balance sheets.
On April 12, 2018, Frank Yuan converted $144,445 of the line of credit to 144,445,000 shares of the Company's common stock at a price of $0.001 per share. The same shares were subsequently sold for $250,000 to a third party on May 3, 2018. The management believes the $250,000 reflects the fair value of the Company common shares on conversion date due to the proximate time period between the conversion date and the stock sale date. Therefore the Company recorded a loss on the conversion of $105,555 which represented the difference between the principal balance of $144,445 and $250,000.
In October 2018, and in anticipation of a merger, the Company issued 7,500,000 shares to an investor at a price per share of $0.001 in conversion of a promissory note issued by an affiliated company. The Company recorded a receivable in the amount of $7,500.
At December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had 166,390,363 and 14,445,363 shares, respectively, issued and outstanding at par value $0.001 per share.
