PART I

Item 1.  BUSINESS

Background

Scientific Energy, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Utah on May 30, 2001. Prior to April 2006, the Company had endeavored to develop and manufacture various energy generation devices and energy efficient mechanisms.  The current business plan of the Company is to engage in a business of e-commerce platform.

In January 2008, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with China Resources Development Group Ltd., a Hong Kong company.  Under the agreement, a joint venture company, Kabond Investments Ltd (the “JVC”), was established in Hong Kong, and the Company invested $39.6 million Hong Kong dollars (approximately $5.09 million) into the JVC for 72% of the JVC’s capital shares, and China Resources Development Group Ltd., jointly with its partner, invested $15.4 million Hong Kong dollars (approximately $1.98 million) into the JVC to receive 28% of the JVC’s capital shares.  In December 2008, all equity interest of the JVC owned by the Company was sold to a third party for $39.6 million Hong Kong dollars (approximately $5,109,743).

In January 2009, the Company through its wholly-owned subsidiary, PDI Global Limited (a British Virgin Islands corporation, “PDI”), entered into a joint venture agreement with China Resources Development Group Ltd.  Under the agreement, the Company agreed to invest $43,040,000 Hong Kong dollars (approximately $5.55 million) into a joint venture company Sinoforte Ltd. in Hong Kong (“Sinoforte”).  The Company got 80% of Sinoforte's capital shares, and China Resources invested $10,222,000 Hong Kong dollars, approximately $1,318,967, and another investor invested  $538,000 Hong Kong dollars, or approximately $69,419, into Sinoforte for 19% and 1% of Sinoforte's capital shares, respectively.  The main business of Sinoforte was trading mineral products such as graphite produced in China.  In June 2009 and September 2009, respectively, China Resources and the other minority investor cancelled their investments in Sinoforte, and the full amount of their original investments was returned.  As a result, Sinoforte became a wholly-owned subsidiary of PDI.

The Company has not been involved in any bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceeding.

Business

The Company conducts business primarily through its wholly owned subsidiary Sinoforte Ltd., a Hong Kong corporation.

Prior to August 2011, the Company operated primarily as a merchant, buying and selling various type and grades of graphite, such as medium- and high-carbon graphite, high-purity graphite, micro-powder graphite and expandable graphite. As a merchant, the Company acted as a reseller. It purchased graphite products in bulk, primarily from graphite producers, and resold them, either in bulk or in smaller quantities (in either case, without further processing), to various small and mid-sized customers.    

In August 2011, the Company started to engage in a business of e-commerce platform.  Currently the Company is in the process of developing a website, “Makeliving.com” ("Makeliving"), which provides an e-commerce platform, where registered members can exchange goods and services.

Makeliving will act both as a platform and as a conduit between those (individuals or companies) who desire to acquire goods and services and those (individuals or companies) who desire to offer goods and services.  Makeliving plans to charge a certain percentage fee for the transactions.  However, no revenues have been generated.  The website is now temporarily under maintenance. At the same time, the Company is considering new business models.

On January 23, 2018, the Company entered into an agreement with Cityhill Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of South Sea Petroleum Holdings Limited, a Hong Kong listed public company, pursuant to which parties agreed to establish a joint venture (the “Joint Venture”).  Each party owns 50% equity interest in the Joint Venture respectively.

The Venture Joint, with the support of blockchain technology, is to provide global trading service of physical gold for global customers. The parties contribute their respective experiences in blockchain technology and marketing. The Company will assist the Joint Venture in exploring the North America and Europe markets, while Cityhill will focus on the Asian markets.  

Patents, trademarks, franchises, concessions, royalty agreements or labor contracts

The Company does not own any patents, trademarks, copyrights, franchises, concessions, royalty agreements, or labor contracts.

Product Research and Development

To date the Company has not conducted any product research and development. The Company does not plan to conduct any product research and development activities in the next twelve months.

Employees

4

As of December 31, 2018, the Company has three employees.  None of the Company’s employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements.  The Company believes its relationships with its employees to be satisfactory.

Item 1A.   RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider the following risk factors and other information included in this Annual Report.  The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face.  Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations.  If any of the following risk factors occur, our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows could be materially adversely affected.

Risks Related to the Company’s Business

We have never been profitable. We may never become profitable, and, as a result, we could go out of business.

Since inception we have never been profitable.  There can be no guarantee that we will ever be profitable.  For the year ended and as of December 31, 2018, the Company had net losses of $342,904 and had accumulated deficit of $8,295,259.  There is no assurance that we will be successful in reaching or maintaining profitable operations.  If our losses continue, our ability to operate may be severely impacted or alternatively we may be forced to terminate our operations.

If we are not able to obtain adequate funding, we could be required to limit our operations significantly or cease operations entirely.

Our business plan requires us to deploy sufficient capital to generate profit. If adequate funds are not available, we would be required to limit our operations significantly or cease operations entirely.  We have no immediate means for obtaining additional financing.  There can be no assurance that such additional financing, when and if necessary, will be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all.

5

Our operating results may fluctuate significantly, which makes our future results difficult to predict and could cause our operating results to fall below expectations.

We are new in the e-commerce platform business, and our revenue is difficult to predict.  Our revenue may not recur from period to period, which contributes to the variability of our results from period to period.  Accordingly, the quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our operating results may not be meaningful, and, therefore, prior results are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected in future periods.

If we are unable to compete effectively with our competitors, our profitability and financial condition will be adversely affected.

We are a small company and we face intense competition, many of our competitors have substantially greater resources than us, including greater financial, marketing and distribution resources. We have no proprietary competitive advantage, and there are no substantial barriers to competitors entering the market.  There is no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully with any of these competitors.  In addition, increased competition could result in price reductions, reduced margins and loss of market share for our services, all of which would adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our success will be dependent upon our management’s efforts.  We cannot sustain profitability without the efforts of our management.

Our success largely depends on the efforts and abilities of our officers and directors, particularly Stanley Chan, our President and CEO.  The loss of his services could materially harm our business because of the cost and time necessary to find successors.  Such a loss would also divert management attention away from operational issues.  We do not have other key employees who manage our operations. To the extent that we are smaller than our competitors and have fewer resources, we may not be able to attract a sufficient number and quality of staff, when required.

Risks Related to Doing Business in Hong Kong

6

Changes in the political and economic policies of Hong Kong’s government may have a significant negative impact upon our business operations.

Substantially all of our assets are located in Hong Kong and a considerable portion of our revenues are expected to derive from our operations in Hong Kong.  The Hong Kong government exerts substantial influence and control over the manner in which we must conduct our business activities.  Our ability to operate in Hong Kong may be adversely affected by changes in Hong Kong laws and regulations.  As a result, changes in the political and economic policies of the Hong Kong government could have a significant impact on the results of our operations and financial condition.

Our executive officer and director are located outside of the U.S. It is difficult to effect service of process and enforcement of legal judgments upon us and our officers and directors.

Our sole executive officer and director is located outside of the United States.  As a result, it may be difficult to effect service of process within the United States and enforce judgment of the US courts obtained against us and our executive officers and directors.  Particularly, our shareholders may not be able to:

o    Effect service of process within the United States on the Company or any of its executive officers and directors;

o    Enforce judgments obtained in U.S. courts against the Company based upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws;

o     Enforce, in a court outside of the U.S. judgments of U.S. courts based on the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws; and

o    Bring an original action in a court in China to enforce liabilities against the Company or any of its executive officers and directors based upon the U.S. federal securities laws.

Fluctuations in the exchange rate between the Hong Kong dollar and the United States dollar may bring down our operating income.

The functional currency of our operations in Hong Kong is the Hong Kong dollar.  Results of our operations are translated at average exchange rates into United States dollars for purposes of reporting results.  During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 and through this date, there has not been significant fluctuation in exchange rates between Hong Kong dollars and US dollars. However, future fluctuations in exchange rates may adversely affect our expenses and results of operations as well as the value of our assets and liabilities.  Any future significant fluctuations in the exchange rate between the Hong Kong dollar and the United States dollar may bring down our operating income and lower our stock price.  We have no current plans to undertake any hedging activity to minimize exchange rate fluctuations.

Risks Related to Investment in the Company’s Securities

A number of our shareholders own a large percentage of our voting stock and will have a significant influence over matters requiring stockholder approval and could delay or prevent a change in control.

Kelton Capital Group Ltd. currently owns 31,190,500 shares, or approximately 27.2%, of our outstanding common stock. As a result, if acting together with other shareholders, Kelton Capital may have the ability to determine the outcome of matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, including the election of directors and any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets.  In addition, these persons, if acting together, may have the ability to control the management and affairs of the Company, which could have a material adverse effect on the value of the common stock.

7

There has been low volume and therefore an inactive market for our common stock, the stock price may be volatile or may decline regardless of our operating performance, and you may not be able to resell your shares at or above your stock purchase price.

If you purchase shares of our common stock, you may not be able to resell those shares at or above your original purchase price.  An active or liquid market in our common stock may not develop or, if it does develop, it may not be sustainable.  The market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to numerous factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control.

Because our common stock is deemed a low-priced "Penny" stock, an investment in our common stock should be considered high risk and subject to marketability restrictions.

Since our common stock is a penny stock, as defined in Rule 3a51-1 under the Securities Exchange Act, it will be more difficult for investors to liquidate their investment even if and when a market develops for the common stock. Until the trading price of the common stock rises above $5.00 per share, if ever, trading in the common stock is subject to the penny stock rules of the Securities Exchange Act specified in rules 15g-1 through 15g-10. Those rules require broker-dealers, before effecting transactions in any penny stock, to:

o   Deliver to the customer, and obtain a written receipt for, a disclosure document;

o   Disclose certain price information about the stock;

o   Disclose the amount of compensation received by the broker-dealer or any associated person of the broker-dealer;

o   Send monthly statements to customers with market and price information about the penny stock; and

o   In some circumstances, approve the purchaser's account under certain standards and deliver written statements to the customer with information specified in the rules.

Consequently, the penny stock rules may restrict the ability or willingness of broker-dealers to sell the common stock and may affect the ability of holders to sell their common stock in the secondary market and the price at which such holders can sell any such securities.  These additional procedures could also limit our ability to raise additional capital in the future.

We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our capital stock and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our common stock and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.  We currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to fund the development and growth of our business.  Any future determination to pay dividends will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will be dependent upon our financial condition, operating results, capital requirements, applicable contractual restrictions and other such factors as our Board of Directors may deem relevant.

Item 1B.   UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

None.

Item 2.   DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

We lease our office space, approximately 250 square feet, in Jersey City, New Jersey, on a month-by-month basis. For the year ended December 31, 2018, the rent was $650 per month.  We also have an office in Hong Kong, which is leased on a term of two years ending in January 2020. The space is approximately 770 square feet, and the rent is approximately $3,780 per month.

8

If we require additional space, we believe that we will be able to obtain such space on commercially reasonable terms.

Item 3.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are not aware of any pending or threatened legal proceeding that, if determined in a manner adverse to us, could have a material adverse effect on our business and operations.

Item 4.   MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES

Not applicable.

Costs of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 were nil because there were no sales.

Operating expenses

For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company’s operating expenses were $341,384 compared to $306,252 for the year of 2017.  The increase is primarily the result of increased consulting fees paid towards business development in 2018.

Until we are able to generate sufficient liquidity from operations, we intend to continue to fund operations from cash on-hand, and through private debt or equity placements of our securities. Our continued operations will depend on whether we are able to generate sufficient liquidity from operations and/or raise additional capital through such sources as equity and debt financings, collaborative and licensing agreements and strategic alliances. There can be no assurance that additional capital will become available or, if it does, that it will become available on acceptable terms, or that any additional capital we may obtain will be sufficient to meet our long-term needs. We currently have no commitments for any additional capital, both internally and externally.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Contractual Obligations

The Company leases approximately 250 square feet in Jersey City, New Jersey on a month to month basis of approximately $565 per month.  In addition, the Company entered into a two year lease for office space of approximately 770 square feet in Hong Kong, expiring January 2020 with monthly payments of approximately $3,780 per month.

Critical Accounting Policies

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, we follow accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”).  GAAP requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, sales and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We re-evaluate our estimates on an on-going basis.  Our estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.  Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.  

We believe our use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently applied.  Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements.

Item 8.  CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Scientific Energy, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Scientific Energy, Inc (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive losses, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2018, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2018 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The consolidated 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 audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the 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.

The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared using the generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not generated significant revenues since 2011 and is unlikely to generate significant earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations and the attainment of profitable operations. The management will seek to raise funds from shareholders.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements present the financial position and the results of operations of the Company and its 100% owned subsidiaries, Makeliving, Ltd. and PDI.  PDI, in turn, is the 100% owner and consolidates Sinoforte Limited.

All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management’s judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectability of those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related revenue is recorded.

The Company defers any revenue for which the product has not been delivered or services have not been rendered or are subject to refund until such time that the Company and the customer jointly determine that the product has been delivered or services have been rendered or no refund will be required.

Revenues on the sale of products, net of estimated costs of returns and allowance, are recognized at the time products are shipped to customers, legal title has passed, and all significant contractual obligations of the Company have been satisfied. Products are generally sold on open accounts under credit terms customary to the geographic region of distribution. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of the customers and generally does not require collateral to secure the accounts receivable.

The Company is exploring web based e-commerce to bring buyers and sellers together recognizing revenue as commissions on closed transactions.

Segment information

ASC 280-10 establishes standards for reporting information regarding operating segments in annual financial statements and requires selected information for those segments to be presented in interim financial reports issued to stockholders. ASC 280-10 also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services and geographic areas.  Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in making decisions how to allocate resources and assess performance.  All sales and substantial assets of the Company are in China. The Company applies the management approach to the identification of our reportable operating segments as provided in accordance with ASC 280-10.  The information disclosed herein materially represents all of the financial information related to the Company’s principal operating segment.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to a concentration of credit risk are cash and accounts receivable.  Generally, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents in interest-bearing accounts may exceed FDIC insurance limits. The financial stability of these institutions is periodically reviewed by senior management.

As of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company maintained $87,465 and $47,515 in foreign bank accounts not subject to FDIC coverage

The Company has no significant off-balance-sheet concentrations of credit risk such as foreign exchange contracts, options contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and demand deposits held by banks.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

The Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 220-10, Comprehensive Income (“ASC 220-10”) which establishes standards for the reporting and displaying of comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a business during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owners sources.  It includes all changes in equity during a period except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. ASC 220-10 requires other comprehensive income (loss) to include foreign currency translation adjustments.

Foreign Currency Translation

The Company translates the foreign currency consolidated financial statements into US Dollars (“USD”) using the year or reporting period-end or average exchange rates in accordance with the requirements of Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 830-10, Foreign Currency Matters (“ASC 830-10”).  Assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries were translated at exchange rates as of the balance sheet date.  Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates in effect for the periods presented.

The consolidated financial statements were presented in US Dollars except as other specified.

The cumulative translation adjustment is included in the accumulated other comprehensive gain (loss) within stockholders’ equity (deficit).  Foreign currency transaction gains and losses arising from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the consolidated results of operations.

The exchange rates used to translate amounts in HKD into US Dollars for the purposes of preparing the consolidated financial statements were as follows:

Property, plant and equipment

The Company evaluates the carrying value of items of property, plant and equipment to be held and used whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.  The carrying value of an item of property, plant and equipment is considered impaired when the projected undiscounted future cash flows related to the asset are less than its carrying value.  The Company measures impairment based on the amount by which the carrying value of the respective asset exceeds its fair value.  Fair value is determined primarily using the projected future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved.

Fair Value Measurements

ASC Topic 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. This topic does not require any new fair value measurements. ASC Topic 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, ASC Topic 820 establishes a three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:

The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Earnings Per Share (‘EPS”) is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common stock shares outstanding during the year.  Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common stock shares outstanding during the year plus potential dilutive instruments such as stock options and warrants.  

The effect of stock options on diluted EPS is determined through the application of the treasury stock method, whereby proceeds received by the Company based on assumed exercises are hypothetically used to repurchase the Company's common stock at the average market price during the period.  The Company has no stock options, warrants or other potentially dilutive instruments outstanding at December 31, 2018 and 2017.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which reduces the diversity in practice on how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted

On November 22, 2017, the FASB ASU No. 2017-14, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Revenue Recognition (Topic 605), and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 116 and SEC Release 33-10403.” The ASU amends various paragraphs in ASC 220, Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income; ASC 605, Revenue Recognition; and ASC 606, Revenue From Contracts With Customers, that contain SEC guidance. The amendments include superseding ASC 605-10-S25-1 (SAB Topic 13) as a result of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 116 and adding ASC 606-10-S25-1 as a result of SEC Release No. 33-10403. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-05 — Income Taxes (Topic 740): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“ASU 2018-05”), which amends the FASB Accounting Standards Codification and XBRL Taxonomy based on the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) that was signed into law on December 22, 2017 and Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”) that was released by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Act changes numerous provisions that impact U.S. corporate tax rates, business-related exclusions, and deductions and credits and may additionally have international tax consequences for many companies that operate internationally. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

The Company has considered all other new accounting pronouncements and has concluded that there are no new pronouncements that may have a material impact on results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows, based on current information.

NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN

As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has generated a net loss of $342,904 and an accumulated deficit of $8,295,259 as of December 31, 2018. The Company also experienced insufficient cash flows from operations and will be required continuous financial support from the shareholders. The Company will need to raise capital to fund its operations until it is able to generate sufficient revenue to support the future development. Moreover, the Company may be continuously raising capital through the sale of debt and equity securities.

The Company’s ability to achieve these objectives cannot be determined at this stage. If the Company is unsuccessful in its endeavors, it may be forced to cease operations. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from this uncertainty which may include adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

These factors have raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. There can be no assurances that the Company will be able to obtain adequate financing or achieve profitability. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 4 – PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Furniture and equipment as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 is summarized as follows:

Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 was $332 and nil, respectively.

NOTE 5 – NOTE PAYABLE

In May 2018, the Company issued an unsecured note payable for $35,000 bearing interest at 5.0% per annum, payable monthly and due on July 1, 2019.  

In November 2018, the Company issued an unsecured note payable for $65,000 bearing interest at 5.0% per annum, payable monthly and due on November 18, 2020.  

The above accrued interests are included in accrued expenses and payable on the maturity date.

NOTE 6 – STOCK SUBCRIPTION PAYABLES

During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company received deposits of $347,000 (HK$2,713,897) from non-related parties with intentions to purchase the Company’s common stock.  However, the transactions have not yet completed and therefore has been classified outside of equity for financial statement presentation. The deposits received are non-interest bearing and due on demand, if the transaction does not consummate.

NOTE 7 – CAPITAL STOCK

The Company is authorized to issue 500,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value, and 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value.  As of December 31, 2018, there were 114,915,852 shares of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding, and none of the preferred shares were issued and outstanding.

On June 8, 2017, the Company issued 20,000,000 shares to Aspect Group Limited for net proceeds of $200,000.

As of December 31, 2018, Kelton Capital Group Ltd. owned 31,190,500 shares or 27.2% of the Company’s common stock, and Aspect Group Limited owned 20,000,000 shares, or 17.4% of the Company’s common stock.

NOTE 8 – LOSS PER SHARE

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted loss per common share for the year ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively:

Schedule of Loss Per Share

NOTE 9 - INCOME TAXES

The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 740-10, Income Taxes (“ASC 740-10”) which requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the consolidated financial statements or tax returns.  Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between consolidated financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.  Temporary differences between taxable income reported for financial reporting purposes and income tax purposes are insignificant.

For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company's realized net taxable income which offset existing deferred tax assets relating to net operating losses, was offset further (100%) by the valuation allowance.  Other temporary differences are expected to be immaterial. Therefore there were no expected income taxes, either current or deferred, reflected in the income statement.

At December 31, 2018, the Company has available for U.S. federal income tax purposes a net operating loss carryforward of approximately $5,600,000, expiring within 20 years, that may be used to offset future taxable income. The Company has provided a valuation reserve against the full amount of the net operating loss benefit, since in the opinion of management based upon the earnings history of the Company; it is more likely than not that the benefits will not be realized.  

Due to possible significant changes in the Company's ownership, the future use of its existing net operating losses may be limited. Components of deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2018 are as follows. All or a portion of the remaining valuation allowance may be reduced in future years based on an assessment of earnings sufficient to fully utilize these potential tax benefits.  

The Company and its subsidiaries file separate income tax returns.

The United States of America

Scientific Energy, Inc. is incorporated in the State of Utah in the U.S., and is subject to a gradual U.S. federal corporate income tax of 21%. The State of Utah does not impose any corporate state income tax. As of December 31, 2018, future net operation losses of approximately $0.10 million are available to offset future operating income through 2038.

British Virgin Islands

PDI Global Limited and Makeliving Limited are incorporated in the British Virgin Islands. Under the current laws of the British Virgin Islands, PDI Global Limited and Makeliving Limited are not subjected to tax on income or capital gains.

Hong Kong

Sinoforte Limited is incorporated in Hong Kong and Hong Kong’s profits tax rate is 16.5%. Sinoforte Limited did not earn any income that was derived in Hong Kong for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, and therefore, Sinoforte Limited was not subjected to Hong Kong profits tax.

At December 31, 2018, the significant components of the deferred (tax assets) liabilities are summarized below:

Schedule of Income Taxes

The Company is subject to income tax holidays with respect to its Asian operations, and accordingly has recognized no provision for foreign income taxes.

The net deferred tax asset generated by the U.S. loss carry-forward has been fully reserved.

The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses.  During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company recognized no interest and penalties.   The Company had no accruals for interest and penalties at December 31, 2018 and 2017.  Tax years from 2013 through 2017 are open to examination by the taxing authorities.

Item 9.    CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

None.

Item 9A(T).   CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. 

Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2018.  Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

As used herein, the term “disclosure controls and procedures” means controls and other procedures of the Company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms issued by the SEC.  Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer or officers and its principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 (b) Management’s report on internal control over financial reporting

The management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over our financial reporting. 

The term internal control over financial reporting is defined as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the issuer's principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the issuer's board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

(1) Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the issuer;

(2) Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the issuer are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the issuer; and

(3) Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the issuer's assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

To evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting, we have adopted the framework prescribed by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO-1992) and the related guidance provided in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting — Guidance for Smaller Public Companies, also issued by COSO.

Based on our evaluation of our internal controls as of December 31, 2018, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting were effective.

(c) Attestation Report of the Registered Public Accounting Firm

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  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.

(d) Changes in internal controls over financial reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 9B.   OTHER INFORMATION

None.

PART III

Item 10.   DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Directors and Executive Officers

The following table sets forth the information about our sole director and executive officer:

Mr. Stanley Chan has been a Director, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary, and Chairman of the Company since May 2006.  Mr. Chan has more than ten years of experience in import-export business and financial investment.

Significant Employees

There are no significant employees other than our executive officer.

Family Relationships

None of our directors, executive officers, or key employees is related by blood, marriage, or adoption to any other director, executive officer, or other key employees.  To our knowledge, there are no arrangements or understanding between any of our officers and any other person, including directors, pursuant to which the officer was selected to serve as an officer.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our directors and officers, and persons who own more than ten percent of our common stock, to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of our common stock.  To our knowledge, based solely on a review of the copies of such reports furnished to us, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, we believe that all filing requirements applicable to our officers, directors and greater than ten percent stockholders were complied with for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.

Committees of the Board of Directors

The Company’s current bylaws require the Board of Directors to have at least three directors. The current Board is composed of one Director. Accordingly, the Company currently does not have standing Nominating, Compensation or Audit Committees, or committees performing similar functions. Nor do we have a written Nominating, Compensation or Audit committee charter. Since there is only one director, our Board of Directors does not believe that it is necessary to set up such committees because it believes that the functions of such committees are being adequately performed by the board of directors and these committees would be the same with one board member in any case.

The Company intends to seek qualified independent directors to serve on the board and ultimately form standing audit, nominating and compensation committees.

Classification of Directors; Board Vacancies

The holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock have approved an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation which provides for the division of our Board of Directors into three classes, each class consisting, as nearly as possible, of one-third of the total number of directors, with each class having a three-year term. Vacancies on the Board of Directors may be filled only by persons elected by a majority of the remaining directors. A director elected by the Board of Directors to fill a vacancy shall serve for the remainder of the full term of the class of directors in which the vacancy occurred and until such director’s successor is elected and qualified.

Director and Nominee Qualifications

The Board of Directors is responsible for identifying individuals qualified to become Board members and recommending to the Board director nominees for the next annual meeting of stockholders and

candidates to fill vacancies on the Board. Additionally, in selecting nominees for directors, the Board will review candidates recommended by stockholders using the same general criteria as other candidates.

There has not been any defined policy or procedure requirements for stockholders to submit recommendations or nomination for directors. There are no specific, minimum qualifications that the board of directors believes must be met by a candidate recommended by the board of directors. The entire board of directors will assess candidates, whether submitted by management or stockholders, and make recommendations for election or appointment.  

At the 2010 Annual Stockholder’s Meeting, the stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation providing for the classification of the Company’s Board of Directors into three classes, designated Class I, Class II, and Class III, with staggered three-year terms of office.

Audit Committee Financial Expert

The Company’s board of directors determined that the Company does not have a board member that qualifies as an "audit committee financial expert" as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(i) 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.  The Company believes that, from his business experience in overseeing or assessing the performance of companies, Mr. Stanley Chan is capable of analyzing and evaluating our consolidated financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting.  The Company believes that retaining an independent director who would qualify as an "audit committee financial expert" would be overly costly and burdensome and is not currently warranted. The Company does intend to seek qualified audit committee financial experts.

Director Independence

The Company is presently not required to comply with the director independence requirements of any securities exchange, which requires that a majority of a company's directors be independent. The board of directors of the Company intends to appoint additional members, each of whom will satisfy the director independence guidelines in a manner consistent with the definitions of “independence” set forth in SEC Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

The Company has adopted a written Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, which applies to its directors, principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller or persons performing similar functions.  

The Code of Business Conduct and Ethics addresses, among other things, compliance with laws, rules and regulations, conflicts of interest, corporate opportunities, confidentiality, protection and use of company assets, and the reporting process for any illegal or unethical conduct.

Any waiver of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics may only be made by the Board of Directors of the Company and will be promptly disclosed on a Form 8-K.

Compensation Interlocks and Insider Participation

There were no compensation committee or board interlocks among the members of our Board.

Legal Proceedings

Neither we, nor any of our property, are currently subject to any material legal proceedings or other regulatory proceedings, and to our knowledge no such proceedings are contemplated.

Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners

Notes:

 (1)  Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 promulgated by the Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities.  Except as indicated, we believe each holder possesses sole voting and investment power with respect to all of the shares of voting stock owned by that holder, subject to community property laws where applicable.  In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a holder and the percentage ownership of that holder, shares of common stock subject to options or warrants held by that holder that are currently exercisable or are exercisable within 60 days after the date of the table are deemed outstanding.  Those shares, however, are not deemed outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person or group.

Security Ownership of Management

As of March 29, 2019, no director, nominee and executive officer of the Company owned the security of the Company.

Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans

As of the end of the most recently completed fiscal year, there were no compensation plans (including individual compensation arrangements) under which our equity securities are authorized for issuance.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act

Executive officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. To the Company’s knowledge, based solely on a review of the copies of such reports furnished to the Company and written representations that no other reports were required, as of the date of this report, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to its officers, directors and greater than ten percent beneficial owners are complied with.
