Item 1.  BUSINESS

 

Background

 

Scientific Energy, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Utah on May 30, 2001. From 2001 to 2018, the Company had endeavored a number of business activities, from developing and manufacturing various energy generation devices and energy efficient mechanisms to engaging in a business of e-commerce platform, but weren't successful.

 

On April 13, 2006, Todd Crosland, Jana Meyer, Mark Clawson and Dale Gledhill (collectively the “Sellers”) entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with Kelton Capital Group Limited (the "Buyer"), each of the Sellers was a director of the Company. Pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement, the Buyer acquired from the Sellers an aggregate of 7,905,000 shares of the Company's issued and outstanding common stock, representing approximately 86.3% of the Company's outstanding shares at that time, for the aggregate cash purchase price of approximately $539,929. As a result of the transaction, a change of control of the Company occurred. 

 

On January 23, 2018, the Company entered into an agreement with Cityhill Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Elate Holdings Limited, a Hong Kong listed company. Pursuant to the agreement, the parties agreed to establish a 50% - 50% joint venture in Hong Kong, Gold, Gold, Gold Limited (the “3G”).  3G operates in Hong Kong and owns the “Goldeck App”, a physical gold trading platform. 3G offers its customers with one-stop services including: physical gold trading, deposits and withdrawals.

 

On May 10, 2021, the Company acquired 98.75% of the issued and outstanding share capital of Macao E-Media Development Company Limited, a Macau company (“MED”), by issuance of 131,337,500 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock, par value $0.01 per share, at $0.50 per share, for an aggregate consideration of $65,668,750. The acquisition was completed on September 27, 2021. As a result, MED becomes a 98.75% owned subsidiary of the Company.

 

Based on its monthly gross merchandise volume and market share, MED is a leading food and grocery ordering and delivery service company in Macau. MED was founded in Macau in 2011, and in 2015, once was Meituan Dianping’s exclusive business partner in Macau. Meituan Dianping is the biggest platform in China that offers diversified daily needs services, including food delivery, hotel and travel booking and other goods and services. In June 2016, MED launched its own first generation of e-commerce platform, i.e., Aomi App. Since then, MED has grown and become the biggest food and grocery ordering and delivery service provider in Macau, with approximately 70% of the market share.

 

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

 

Our Business

 

We conduct our businesses primarily through our 98.75% owned subsidiary, Macao E-Media Development Company Limited, a Macau Company (“MED”), and 50% owned subsidiary, Gold Gold Gold Limited (“3G”), a Hong Kong company.

 

In the following sections, we will primarily discuss the business of MED, as 3G is a joint venture and its financial position and results of operations are not consolidated with our consolidated financial statements. The financial position and results of operations of 3G are summarized in the notes to our consolidated financial statements.

 

We are a leading mobile platform of ordering and delivery services for restaurants or other merchants in Macau. We operate in Macau. Our businesses are built on our platform, Aomi App (the “Platform”). The Platform connects restaurants/merchants (collectively referred to as “merchants”) with consumers and delivery riders. The Platform is created to serve the needs of these three key areas and to become more intelligent and efficient with every customer order. As we grow, we enjoy the benefits of scale and enjoy our competitive advantages, and at the same time we deliver substantial benefits to everyone we serve. In 2021, our Platform generated over 8,400,000 transactions, totaling $1,049,142,000 MOP (approximately $130,649,653) in Gross Merchandise Volume.

We offer customers access to the Platform primarily through our mobile applications designed for iPhone, Android, and iPad devices. To use the mobile applications, customers either enter their delivery address or use geo-location and are thereby connected with local merchants that provide takeout or offer their services. Customers can further refine their search results using the search capability, enabling them to filter results across cuisines or merchandise types, merchant names, proximity, ratings and other criteria. Once customers have found what they are looking for, they place their orders. Once an order is received, the Company transmits the order to the merchant, while saving the customers’ preferences for future orders, thus providing them with a convenient repeat order experience.  A customer can choose to have the food delivered or for pick-up/take-away. The Platform informs the customer of the duration of food preparation, and when the food is ready for pick-up or the amount of time it will take for delivery. The customers can also track the meal through the real-time location of the delivery rider as displayed on the Platform.

 

Customers pay us for their meals or goods when orders are placed. Payment is administered by paying with a credit card, debit card, or third-party payment methods, such as WeChat Pay, Alipay, Apple Pay, Mpay, etc. For these transactions, we collect the total amount of the customer’s order less payment processing fees from the payment processor and remits the net proceeds to the merchants less commission and other fees. We generally accumulate funds and remit the net proceeds to the merchant partners at least on a monthly basis.

 

Consumers may also access our services through the WeChat mini program, a mobile app operated by a third party. Leveraged by the leading market status of WeChat along with its vast user base, it enables us to broaden our user reach. The WeChat mini program is easy to use. Customers can swipe or search to open the mini app and connect to the Company’s Platform without downloading or installing additional mobile applications. The WeChat mini program provides customers with the same functionality as the Company’s mobile applications, including finding merchant, searching and ordering.

 

Merchants have the option to either engage the Company to provide the delivery service or deliver by themselves. By providing delivery services, the Company is able to significantly increase the number of merchants it can offer to customers while enhancing the transparency, consistency and reliability of the customer experience. Delivery services benefit the merchants by allowing them to focus on making great food or providing good merchandise while the Company handles the complexity of operating the delivery networks. Presently the Company is by far the largest citywide on-demand food and merchandise delivery network in Macau.  For the year ended December 31, 2021, approximately 66% of the delivery transactions generated on our Platform were fulfilled by us. The Company’s delivery arrangements with merchants are structured under two models: Instant Delivery and Scheduled Delivery, of which the ratings are the same. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had 694 delivery riders.

 

From time to time, merchants run promotion campaigns or other activities via the Company’s Platform. Consumers are able to purchase coupons for merchandise at discounted prices on the Platform, and then go to merchants’ physical retail stores to redeem the coupons, and enjoy the goods or services at a member-discounted price. By doing so, merchants can establish their online presence, grow more customers, and promote and sell goods and services directly to consumers online.

 

We generate revenues primarily when customers place orders on our Platform. Merchant partners pay a commission, typically a percentage of the transaction, on orders that are processed through our Platform. In many cases, we also provide delivery services to merchants on the Platform that do not have their own delivery operations. Merchant partners that use our delivery services pay an additional commission on the transaction for the use of those services. We also recognize as revenue any fees charged directly to the customer.

 

We provide our customer with a wide variety of payment methods. Customers may use credit card, debit card, or a third-party payment method to pay for their goods and services when the orders are placed. For Macau customers, we accept debit card and credit card of major Macau banks, e.g., Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (Macau), Bank of China (Macau), Tai Fung Bank, Luso International Bank, Banco Nacional Ultramarino. International customers can use credit card issued by Visa, Mastercard, or China UnionPay. We also offer third-party payment methods such as WeChat, Alipay and Mpay.  For these transactions, we collect the total amount of the customer’s order net of payment processing fees from the payment processor and remits the net proceeds to the merchants less commission and other fees. We generally accumulate funds and remit the net proceeds to the merchant partners at least on a monthly basis.

A significant portion, approximately 88%, of the Company’s revenues are the commissions earned from merchant partners for consumer orders generated on our Platform.

 

Additional Services

 

The Platform of the Company originally serviced only food ordering and delivery, later, built on the Platform’s user base, the Company expands its services to other areas, and continues to drive customer growth and enhance customer value.

 

(1) Mobile Supermarket (Aomi Supermarket) and Home Delivery Service.  

 

Since September 2020, in addition to food, customers can also order grocery and other non-food merchandise through our Platform called “Aomi Supermarket”, such as fruits and vegetables, meat, poultry, eggs and milk, seafood and aquatic products, grain, oil, seasoning, snacks, beverages and other groceries. Customers can satisfy their daily needs anytime, anywhere on their mobile phones without leaving home. The Platform allows customers to direct delivery riders to purchase the desired merchandise at the Aomi Supermarket and deliver to them, which typically takes less than one hour after an order is placed. We set ourselves apart from traditional retail supermarket brands in many ways. The most notable advantage is that we enjoy lower operating costs without physical retail stores, by selling groceries only online. It has been a year since we started our Aomi Supermarket operation. For the year ended December 31, 2021, due to higher delivery and warehouse costs, we are still losing money in this operation. We believe that as a result of our existing large customer base and on-demand delivery network getting more efficient, and by cutting certain non-profitable stock keeping units (SKUs) and negotiating with suppliers for more favorable pricing, we will be able to offer our online supermarket services with more efficiency and at low marginal cost. For the year ended December 31, 2021, approximately 11% of the Company’s revenue was derived from this service.

 

(2)  Brand Promotion Service

 

Taking advantage of the vast user base of the Platform, we have built and maintained stable business relationships with clients from different business sectors who seek more brand exposure. By using our platform, clients can establish their online presence, promote their brands and sell their goods and services directly to consumers online. We offer clients multiple advertisement options in order to meet their various marketing needs, in forms of ads such as pop-up, pop-under, floating or banner, therefore provide clients with consumer acquisition channels through which they can gain customer traffic. Through partnership with local banks, governmental departments, or large corporations, we endeavor to assist our clients to develop new customers while retain existing customers, improve corporate image, and eventually boost corporate trading volume. For the year ended December 31, 2021, approximately 2% of the Company’s revenue was derived from this service.

Merchant Benefits

 

We focus on providing value to both merchants and customers through our Platform. We provide merchants with more orders, help them serve customers better, facilitate delivery logistics, and enable them to improve the efficiency of their business. For customers, we make ordering, takeout accessible, simple and enjoyable, enabling them to discover new merchants and accurately and easily place their orders anytime and from anywhere.

 

With more than 4,400 merchants currently on our Platform, we believe that we can provide merchants with the following key benefits:

 

More Orders. Through our Platform, merchants in the network receive more orders at full prices.

 

Targeted Reach. Merchants in the network gain a mobile presence with the ability to reach their most valuable customers.

 

Low Risk, High Return. For merchants, our Platform enables them to grow their business without adding seating capacity or wait/service staff, and enable them to leverage their existing fixed costs.

 

Higher Efficiency. Merchant partners in the network can receive and handle a larger volume of takeout orders more accurately, increasing their operational efficiency while providing their takeout customers with a high-quality experience.

Delivery Service. In many cases, we provide delivery services to those merchants who do not have their own delivery operations. By providing delivery services, merchants can focus on making great food while we handle the complexity of operating the delivery networks.

 

Customer Benefits

 

With 620,100 registered Platform customers as of December 31, 2021, we believe that we provide customers with the following key benefits:

 

Discovery. We aggregate menus/merchandise catalogs and enable ordering from more than 4,400 merchants in Macau as of December 31, 2021, in most cases we provide customers with more choices than the menu drawer and allowing them to discover hidden gems from merchants on our Platform.

 

Lower price.  From time to time, merchants run promotion campaigns or other activities via our Platform. Consumers are able to purchase coupons at discount prices on the Platform, and then they go to merchants’ physical stores to redeem the coupons, and enjoy the goods and services at discounted prices.

 

Convenience. Using our Platform, customers do not need to place their orders over the phone or physically going to the merchants’ place of business. We provide customers with an easy-to-use, intuitive and personalized interface that helps them search and discover local merchants and then accurately and efficiently place orders from any places.

 

Service.  We strive to deliver a comprehensive and smooth end-to-end experience to our customers characterized with speedy delivery, good quality, and ease of use.

 

Sources of Revenues and Costs of Revenues

 

We generate revenue primarily from (i) commission from merchants for orders placed on our Platform, which are generally determined as a percentage of the value of the transaction completed, (ii) mobile marketing services in various advertising formats provided to restaurants/merchants or other clients, and (iii) delivery fees from customers and merchants for delivery services provided by us.

 

Our costs of revenue primarily consist of (i) food/merchandise delivery rider costs, (ii) payment processing costs, (iii) employee benefits, expenses for customer service and other personnel, (iv) depreciation of property, plant and equipment, and (v) Cloud server operation and maintenance costs.


A significant portion of costs of our revenues is attributable to delivery rider costs, which accounted for approximately 20% - 25% of our revenues.

 

Market and Customers

 

With increased smartphone penetration, in recent years, the mobile food/grocery ordering market has grown worldwide. Mobile ordering has started to become the norm, thanks to the convenience, accuracy, and ability to integrate payments.

 

We operate in Macau and serve approximately over one million people, of which approximately 700,000 are permanent residents and more than 300,000 are non-Macau residents/college students who work or study full time in Macau. Our customers are mainly Macau residents, i.e., Macau households, office workers, laborers and college students.

 

As of December 31, 2021, we had approximately 620,100 registered Platform customers and served over 4,400 partnered merchants. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, none of these active Platform customers or merchants accounted for 10% or more of our net revenues.

 

Sales and Marketing


7



Our sales team add new restaurant/merchant partners to the network by emphasizing the Platform’s low risk, high return proposition: providing more orders, low upfront payments or subscription fees without requiring any discounts from a restaurant/merchant’s full price menus, and we only get paid for orders we generate for them. Our delivery network has also expanded our offerings and ability to attract restaurants/merchants that do not have their own delivery operations. Leads for new merchants are generated either directly by the merchant through our Platform, or are self-prospected by the sales team. Once merchants have joined our network, our representatives continue to work with them to maintain quality control and to increase their order volume.

 

We believe that our mobile ordering platform, innovative products and excellent customer care are our best and most effective marketing tools, helping to generate strong word-of-mouth referrals, which have been the primary driver of our customer growth. Our integrated marketing efforts are aimed at encouraging new customers to try the Platform and driving existing customers to engage more frequently with the Platform. We use both mobile and offline advertising.

 

We worked with the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China to issue a co-branded credit card. Every new card holder is given $50 MOP (approximately $6.25) worth of coupon redeemable on our Platform. Together with our good services, this campaign significantly increased our customer base.

 

From time to time, we also introduce various types of promotions and activities to keep the existing users active, such as giving out coupons, discounts, and cash back activities.

 

Technology

 

Technology has changed consumer behavior and driven a wave of demand for convenience.  We enable local brick-and-mortar businesses, which are fundamental to the vitality of local economies and communities, to address consumers’ expectations of ease and immediacy and thrive in an increasingly convenience-driven economy. We generally develop additional features for our Platform in-house, focusing on quick release cycles and constant improvement. Our mobile properties are either stored on secure remote servers and software networks through a public cloud provider or are hosted by a third-party provider of hosting services. The Platform includes a variety of encryption, antivirus, firewall and patch-management technology to protect and maintain systems and computer hardware across the business. We rely on third-party off-the-shelf technology as well as internally developed and proprietary products and systems to ensure rapid, high-quality customer care, software development, website integration, updates and maintenance.

 

Growth Strategy

 

We strive to make our Platform an integral part of everyday life for merchants and customers through the following growth strategies:

 

(1) More merchants. We intend to broaden our network of merchants by providing innovative services that help merchants operate and grow their businesses. We have experienced tremendous success serving merchants. Today we have over 4,400 merchants, the majority of which are restaurants, on our Platform, and there are many more that we have yet to reach. We will continue to innovate and introduce new products and services to add value for our merchants and unlock additional revenue opportunities, and will continue our sales efforts to continue adding new merchants.  

 

(2) More consumers. Presently there are over 620,100 consumers on our Platform. We plan to continue to increase our consumer reach by more consumer engagement. At present, consumers use our Platform for a small fraction of their monthly meals or purchases. We strive to increase the frequency with which consumers use our Platform by being the most delicious, affordable, and convenient way to eat or make purchase. We plan to do this by increasing the breadth of restaurant/merchant selection, expanding availability of meals at all times of the day. In addition, our goal is to satisfy consumers, thereby promoting their use of our Platform and making it easier for us to gain new consumers. We continue to make investments aimed at improving the consumer experience.


8



We intend to continue to grow the number of customers and orders placed on our Platform primarily through word-of-mouth referrals and marketing that encourages adoption of our ordering Platform and increased order frequency.

 

(3) Better Delivery Rider experience. We invest in improving delivery rider experience and satisfaction.

 

(4) More Service Offerings. As we grow, we plan to expand our service offerings, and grow into a full-category service e-commerce company. We will continue to add new service categories covering more use cases in consumers’ daily lives. We also plan to further broaden service selections within our current service categories. We believe expanding service offerings will improve consumer loyalty and lead to more cross-selling.

 

(5) Deliver Excellent Customer Care. By meeting and exceeding the expectations of both merchants and customers through customer service, we seek to gain their loyalty and support for our Platform.

 

(6) Improve Our Operational Efficiency. We will focus on optimizing our cost structure primarily through product improvements meant to enhance the operational efficiency and quality of our logistics platform. These improvements include enhancements to our batching algorithms and order preparation and traffic predictions.

 

Competition

 

As a leading mobile food and grocery ordering and take-out delivery service in Macau, we primarily compete with the traditional offline ordering process used by the vast majority of restaurants/grocery stores and diners involving paper menus that restaurants distribute to diners, as well as advertising that restaurants/grocery stores place in local publications to attract customers. For dining customers, we compete with the traditional ordering process by aggregating restaurant and menu information in one place online so that it is easier and more convenient to find a desirable restaurant option and place a customized order without having to interact directly with the restaurants. For restaurants, we offer a more targeted marketing opportunity than the telephone pages, billboards or other local advertising media since dining customers typically access our Platform when they are looking to place a takeout order, and we capture the transaction right at the time when a dining customer has made a decision.

 

Most restaurants in Macau are small businesses, who do not have their own standalone websites and online interfaces. Compared to other dining platforms, we offer customers a wide range of choices, with over 4,400 restaurants on our Platform, including low cost or no cost delivery, menu price parity with any other online ordering option and the lowest overall pricing and most compelling rewards for customers in Macau.

 

There is another mobile food delivery service provider in Macau, MFood, which is owned and operated by Mpay, a Macau local digital payment company. While MFood has access to a massive number of users inherited from its parent company, but MFood is small in scale and unable to compete with us effectively.

While we are currently the leading mobile food and grocery take-out delivery service in Macau, new competitors could emerge and existing competitors could continue to grow in our markets. These competitors may have greater resources and other advantages than us and could impact our growth rates and ability to maintain profitability.

 

Government Regulation

 

We are subject to a wide variety of laws and regulations in Macau. These laws, regulations, and standards govern issues such as business registration, labor and employment, commissions and fees, anti-discrimination, payments, product liability, environmental protection, personal injury, text messaging, subscription services, intellectual property, consumer protection and warnings, marketing, taxation, privacy, data security, competition, terms of service, mobile application and website accessibility, money transmittal, and background checks. We are also subject to regulations and best practices stipulated by the Monetary and Foreign Exchange Authority of Macau (“AMCM”). Especially, AMCM requires us to open an official bank account under the supervision of AMCM and other equivalent Macau government departments. When a customer places an order on our Platform, the customer’s payment will directly go to this official bank account in the first step. We then settle the payment later with merchants periodically.


9



The laws and government regulations are constantly evolving, and it is impossible to predict accurately the effect they may have upon our operations, earnings and its competitive position in the future. As of December 31, 2021, we had not encountered any obstacles rising from government regulations.

      

Intellectual Property

 

We believe that our intellectual property rights are valuable and important to our business. We rely on trademarks, patents, copyrights, trade secrets, license agreements, intellectual property assignment agreements, confidentiality procedures, non-disclosure agreements, and employee non-disclosure agreements to establish and protect our proprietary rights.

 

We have devoted to identify and protect a substantial portion of our strategic intellectual property in logistics, selection optimization, and other technologies relevant to its business. As of December 31, 2021, we had 5 patents registered and one pending patent application with the State Intellectual Property Office of China. In addition, we owned 23 trademarks in various categories and registered with the China Trademark Office, 15 trademarks registered with the Economic and Technological Development Bureau of Macau, 6 trademarks registered with the Intellectual Property Department in Hong Kong. Also, we hold 48 software copyrights and 2 other copyrights registered with the State Copyright Bureau of China.

 

We intend to pursue additional intellectual property protection to the extent we believe it would be beneficial and cost-effective. Despite our efforts to protect our intellectual property rights, they may be infringed in the future or may be invalidated, circumvented, or challenged.

 

Employees

 

As of December 31, 2021, we had approximately 567 full time employees and 397 part time employees. Of 567 full time employees, 297 were delivery riders. All of our part-time employees are delivery riders. None of our employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements.  We have not experienced any work stoppages, and we believe that our relationship with our employees is good.

 

 

Item 1A.   RISK FACTORS

 

Risk of Health Emergencies and Market Disruption

 

The occurrence of widespread health emergencies could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. The recent outbreak of coronavirus (“COVID-19”), which has been identified as a “pandemic”, has resulted in decreased economic activity and ongoing health concerns, which have adversely affected the broader global economy. A pandemic typically results in social distancing, travel bans and quarantine, and this may limit access to our facilities, customers, management, support staff and professional advisors. These factors, in turn, may not only impact our operations and financial conditions but also our overall ability to react timely to mitigate the impact of this event. Also, it may hamper our efforts to comply with our filing obligations with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Depending on the severity and longevity of the COVID-19 pandemic, our business and shareholders may experience a significant negative impact.

 

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information called for in this Item.

 

 

Item 1B.   UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

 

Not applicable.

 

 

Item 2.   DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

 

We conduct our businesses primarily in Macau and Hong Kong. As of December 31, 2021, we leased office facilities and warehouse at four locations: Jersey City, New Jersey, USA; Hong Kong; Macau; and Zhuhai, Guandong, China, totaling approximately 39,800 square feet, of which approximately 21,480 square feet were used as warehouses.  We believe these


10



facilities are in good condition and sufficient for our current needs but may need to seek additional or expanded facilities if our business continues to grow, and we believe that suitable additional or alternative space will be available as needed to accommodate any such growth.

 

 

Item 3.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

We are not a party to any pending legal proceeding.  We are not aware of any pending legal proceeding to which any of our officers, directors, or any beneficial holders of 5% or more of our voting securities that are adverse to us or have a material interest adverse to us.

As of December 31, 2021, we had 263,337,500 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding, held by approximately 255 stockholders of record. The number of record holders does not include beneficial owners of common stock whose shares are held in the names of various security brokers, dealers, and registered clearing agencies.

 

Dividends

 

We have not declared any cash dividends on our common stock since inception and do not anticipate paying such dividends in the foreseeable future. We plan to retain any future earnings for use in our business operations. Any future determination to declare dividends will be made at the discretion of our board of directors, subject to applicable laws, and will depend on a number of factors, including our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, contractual restrictions, general business conditions and other factors that the board of directors may deem relevant.

 

Penny Stock

 

The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a market price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, that: (a) contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading; (b) contains a description of the broker's or dealer's duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation of such duties or other requirements of the securities laws; (c) contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price; (d) contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; (e) defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and (f) contains such other information and is in such form, including language, type size and format, as the SEC shall require by rule or regulation.

 

The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the customer with (a) bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; (b) the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; (c) the number of


11



shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and (d) a monthly account statement showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account.

 

In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement as to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement.

 

These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity for our common stock should our stock ever be traded on a public market. Therefore, stockholders may have difficulty selling our securities.

Business Overview

 

We conduct our businesses primarily through our 98.75% owned subsidiary, Macao E-Media Development Company Limited, a Macau Company (“MED”), and 50% owned subsidiary, Gold Gold Gold Limited (“3G”), a Hong Kong company.

 

In this MD&A section, we will primarily discuss the business of MED, as 3G is a joint venture and its financial position and results of operations are not consolidated with our consolidated financial statements. The financial position and results of operations of 3G are summarized in the Notes to our consolidated financial statements.

 

As a leading mobile platform of ordering and delivery services for restaurants or other merchants, we operate in Macau, and our businesses are built on our platform, Aomi App (the “Platform”). The Platform connects restaurants/merchants (collectively referred to as “Merchants”) with consumers and delivery riders. The Platform is created to serve the needs of these three key constituencies and to become more intelligent and efficient with every customer order. As we grow, we enjoy the benefits of scale and enjoy our competitive advantages, and at the same time we deliver substantial benefits to everyone we serve.  For the year ended December 31, 2021, our Platform generated over 8,400,000 transactions, totaling $1,049,142,000 MOP (approximately $130,649,653) in Gross Merchandise Volume.

 

MED was found in Macau in 2011. In May 2021, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement, by and among the Company, MED, and the shareholders of MED, whereby the Company acquired 98.75% of MED’s issued and outstanding share capital. As consideration for the MED Shares, the Company agreed to issue the sellers, or its assigns, a total of 131,337,500 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock, par value $0.01 per share, at $0.50 per share, for an aggregate consideration of $65,668,750.  The acquisition was closed in September 2021. As a result of this acquisition, MED becomes a 98.75% owned subsidiary of the Company.

 

Impact of COVID-19 on Our Operations and Financial Performance

 

Outbreaks of epidemic, pandemic, or contagious diseases such as COVID-19, could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. The spread of COVID-19 has resulted in the World Health Organization declaring the outbreak of COVID-19 as a global pandemic. Substantially all of our revenues and workforce are concentrated in Macau and in China. In response to the intensifying efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19, the Macau government took a number of actions, which included extending the Chinese New Year holiday, quarantining individuals suspected of having COVID-19, asking residents to stay at home and to avoid public gathering, among other things. During the early part of 2021, COVID-19 caused a temporary slowdown of our operation, and as a result, our revenue did not increase as we predicted in 2021. It is, however, still unclear how the pandemic will evolve going forward, and we cannot assure you whether the COVID-19 pandemic will again bring about a significantly negative impact on our business operations, financial condition and operating results, including but not limited to a negative impact to our total revenues.

 

While we have resumed business operations, there remain significant uncertainties surrounding the COVID-19 outbreak and its further development as a global pandemic. Hence, the extent of the business disruption and the related impact on our financial results and outlook for 2022 cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. The extent to which the COVID-19 impacts our results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the coronavirus and the actions taken globally to contain the coronavirus or treat its impact, among others. We are still assessing our business operations and the total impact COVID-19 may have on our results and financial


13



condition, but there can be no assurance that this analysis will enable us to avoid part or all impact from the spread of COVID-19 or its consequences, including downturns in business sentiment generally.

Results of Operations

 

For the Year Ended December 31, 2021 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2020

 

Sales

 

For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company generated sales for $10,049,891 compared to $Nil for the year of 2020. Currently the Company is in the process of developing Mobile Supermarket and Home Delivery Service.

 

Costs of Goods Sold

 

For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company generated cost of good sold for $7,664,721 compared to $Nil for the year of 2020. Currently the Company is attributable to delivery rider costs and purchase of inventory.

 

Operating expenses

 

For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company’s operating expenses were $3,344,172 compared to $472,963 for the year of 2020.  The increase is primarily the result of expense paid towards Macau and Zhuhai business operations in 2021.

Other Income (Expense)

 

For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company had $29,081 of interest expense, net, as compared to $11,203 of interest expense for the same period last year.  The interest expense in 2021 and 2020 is related to notes payable issued in 2018 and 2019. The increase is primarily the result of new bank loan paid towards Macao and Zhuhai business operations in 2021.

 

Net Loss

 

For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company had a net loss of $967,685, or $(0.005) per share, as compared to a net loss of $461,519, or $(0.004) per share, for the year of 2020.  

 

Going Concern

 

The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared using U.S. GAAP applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company had a net loss of $967,685 for the year ended December 31, 2021 and had an accumulated deficit of $10,268,776 as of December 31, 2021. The Company has not yet established an adequate ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and to allow it to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease development of operations. 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.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of December 31, 2021, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $4,920,375 and a working capital deficit of $2,805,610.  The Company generates a significant amount of cash flows from operations.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company used net cash of $5,821,075 from its operating activities primarily from our net loss of $967,685, net with depreciation and amortization of $67,621,  a disposal of equipment of $1,125, an increase in account receivables of $135,396, an increase in amount due from related company of $19,452, an increase in amount due from associate of $24,678, an increase in amount due from shareholder of $998,391, an increase in inventories of $44,310, a decrease in prepaid expenses of $149,058, a decrease in deposits of $42,607, a decrease in other receivables of $558,275, an increase in accrued expense of $654,419, an increase in amount due to related company of $20,002, a decrease in deposit received of $215,356, a decrease in other payables of $3,547,542, a decrease in account payable of $1,361,372. By comparison, net cash used in operating activities was $447,682 in 2020.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company used net cash of $732,954 from its investing activities which comprised with purchase of equipment of $22,449, loan to associate of $997,923 and net cash inflow from acquisition of subsidiaries of $287,418. By comparison, net cash used in investing activities was $Nil in 2020

 

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company’s financing activities provided net cash of $11,652,469, which was comprised of repayment of bank loans of $29,392, repayment of notes payable of $243,664, repayment of stock subscriptions of $1,041,539, proceeds of issuance of shares capital of $12,967,064. By comparison, net cash provided by financing activities was $375,792 in 2020.  

We believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents, short term investments and borrowings available under the credit facility will be sufficient to meet our working capital requirements for at least the next twelve months. However, our liquidity assumptions may prove to be incorrect, and we could utilize our available financial resources sooner than currently expected. If we are unable to obtain needed additional funds, we will have to reduce operating costs, which could impair our growth prospects and could otherwise negatively impact our business.

 

The bank loans are borrowed by MED and Zhuhai Chengmi Technology Company Limited (“Chengmi”), which are the new subsidiaries during business combinations in September 2021. The banking credit facility from MED dated March 3, 2020 for a maximum principal of $374,672 expiring July 31, 2025 at an interest rate of 4.25% per annum. This loan is secured against the directors of MED and for the use of MED operation due to the outbreak of COVID-19. Another bank loan borrowed by Chengmi with principle of $464,583 and $309,721 and expiring December 2022 and May 2023, respectively, at an interest rate of 4.6% and 4.45% per annum.

 

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

 

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Contractual Obligations

 

The Company leases approximately 250 square feet of space in Jersey City, New Jersey under a month-by-month basis at rent of $650 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 2024 with monthly payments of approximately $4,393 per month. Besides, the acquisition of Macau and Zhuhai subsidiaries, it results on addition lease for office and warehouse approximately 38,780 square feet in Macau and Zhuhai, expiring within year 2022 to 2024 with monthly payment of approximately $44,724 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 2 to our consolidated financial statements.

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 and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, 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, 2021 and 2020, 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, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 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 consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

Critical Audit Matters

 

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

 

Impairment of Goodwill and Intangible Assets – Refer to Notes 2, 5 and 6 to the financial statements.

 


18


 

Picture 


As disclosed in the consolidated financial statements goodwill and intangible assets, net were $71.7 and $1.2 million respectively as of December 31, 2021. Impairment is reviewed whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of these assets may not be fully recoverable. As shown in Notes 5 and 6 to the financial statements, the Company did not recognize any impairment for goodwill and intangible assets during the year ended December 31, 2021.

 

If an indicator of impairment exists for any software technology, an estimate of the undiscounted future cash flows over the life of the primary asset for each software technology is compared to that long-lived asset’s carrying value.

 

The determination of whether an impairment indicator has occurred involves the evaluation of subjective factors by management to assess what constitutes an event or change in circumstance that indicates a software technology should be tested for recoverability, and therefore auditing the valuation of goodwill and long-lived assets involved especially subjective judgment.

 

How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit:

 

Subjective auditor judgment was required to evaluate the completeness of management’s assessment as to whether an event or change in circumstance indicates a software technology’s assets should be tested for recoverability. The primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included the following:

 

We tested the effectiveness of controls over management’s goodwill and intangible impairment process, including controls related to determining the completeness of management’s assessment as to which events or changes in circumstance indicates a software technology’s assets should be tested for recoverability.

 

We evaluated management’s process for determining whether all potential indicators of impairment were appropriately identified, including:

 

·comparing the consistency and precision of the methodology used to determine the proper impairment indicators by management to the relevant requirements of generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”); 

 

·considering current technology, economy or other industry changes through review of relevant industry publications, current news publications and Board of Directors’ meeting minutes, in order to evaluate the completeness of events or changes in circumstances identified by management as indicators that the software technology asset should be tested for recoverability.

SCIENTIFIC ENERGY, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2021

 

 

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

 

Scientific Energy, Inc., (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Utah on May 30, 2001.  Prior to August 2011, the Company was principally devoted to the buying and selling of various types and grades of graphite, such as medium- and high-carbon graphite, high-purity graphite, micro-powder graphite and expandable graphite.   In August 2011, the Company decided to engage in a business of e-commerce platform. Currently the Company is in the process of developing a website, which provides an e-commerce platform, where registered members can exchange goods and services.

 

On March 28, 2006, the Company set up a wholly owned subsidiary, PDI Global Limited (“PDI”), which was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands in order 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, 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. On December 8, 2020, PDI sold all the shares of Sinoforte to the Company at consideration of HK$10.

 

On February 28, 2012, the Company set up a wholly-owned subsidiary, Makeliving Ltd., which was incorporated in the Cayman Islands in order to engage in a business of e-commerce platform.

 

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.

 

On February 8, 2021, the Company acquired an entire share of a Hong Kong company, Qwestro Limited, for HK$1,000 without any goodwill and bargaining purchase.

 

On March 24, 2021, the Company disposed of its wholly-owned dormant subsidiary, PDI Global Limited, with a positive net worth of $1 to an unaffiliated third-party purchaser for $1.  

 

In September 27, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of 98.75% shares of Macao E-Media Development Company Limited (“MED”). As consideration for the MED shares, the Company agreed to issue the Sellers, or its assigns, in a total of 131,337,500 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock, par value $0.01 per share, at a consideration of $0.50 per share, in the aggregate consideration of $65,668,750 (the “Purchase Price”). As a result of this acquisition, MED becomes a 98.75% owned subsidiary of the Company. MED was founded at Macau in 2011. Its main area of business includes food and grocery order-pickup-delivery services from local restaurants, supermarkets and hotels.

 

MED has four subsidiaries, each of which is in charge of respective area such as Development & Maintenance, Marketing & Operation, Logistics & Delivery, Payment & Clearance, Emerging Market Business Development.

 

 

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation


26



 

The accompanying audited consolidated financial statements of the Company are presented in U.S. dollars in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and pursuant to the accounting and disclosure rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made that are necessary to present fairly the financial position, and the results of its operations and its cash flows. Operating results as presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year.

 

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 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 Sinoforte Limited.  Qwestro Limited, in turn, is the 100% owned subsidiary and consolidates with Sinoforte Limited.

 

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

 

Business Combinations

 

The Company accounts for acquisition of entities that include inputs and processes and has the ability to create outputs as business combinations. The Company allocates the purchase price of the acquisition to the tangible assets, liabilities and identifiable intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the purchase price over those fair values is recorded as goodwill. Acquisition-related expenses and integration costs are expensed as incurred.

 

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 operating mobile platform of ordering and delivery services for restaurants and supermarket in Macau, together recognizing revenue 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 and Macau. 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

 


27



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, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the Company maintained $4,899,488 and $Nil 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 and MOP into US Dollars for the purposes of preparing the consolidated financial statements were as follows:

The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are as follows:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Office equipment

 

3-5 years

 

Furniture and fixtures

 

3-5 years

 

Vehicles

 

4 years

 

 

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.

 

Intangible assets

 

Purchased intangible assets are recognized and measured at fair value upon acquisition. Separately identifiable intangible assets that have determinable lives continue to be amortized over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method based on their estimated useful lives as follows:

 

Software

 

1-10 years

 

 

The Company reviews intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

 

Trade receivables

 

Trade receivables are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The Company extends unsecured credit to its customers in the ordinary course of business but mitigates the associated risks by performing credit checks and actively pursuing past due accounts. An allowance for doubtful accounts is established and recorded based on management’s assessment of potential losses based on the credit history and relationships with the customers. Management reviews its receivables on a regular basis to determine if bad debt allowance is adequate, and adjusts the allowance when necessary. Delinquent account balances are written-off against allowance for doubtful accounts after management has determined that the likelihood of collection is not probable.

 

The Company considered the amounts of receivables in dispute and believes an allowance for these receivables were not necessary as of December 31, 2021 and 2020.

 

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:

 

Level 1 —

Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 —

Other inputs that is directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.

 

 

 

Level 3 —

Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.

 

 

 

 

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.  


29



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, 2021 and 2020.

 

Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

 

The Company entered into a JV agreement with an independent third party, to form a JV company. The joint venture agreement provides the Company with only the rights to the assets and obligation for the liabilities of the joint arrangement resting primarily with the JV. In adopting ASC Topic 323, Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), the Company’s investment in joint venture is accounted for using the equity method.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are carried at the lower of cost and net realizable value, as determined using the weighted average cost method. Management compares the cost of inventories with the net realizable value and if applicable, an allowance is made for writing down the inventory to its net realizable value, if lower than cost. On an ongoing basis, inventories are reviewed for potential write-down for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventories which equals the difference between the costs of inventories and the estimated net realizable value based upon forecasts for future demand and market conditions. When inventories are written-down to the lower of cost or net realizable value, it is not marked up subsequently based on changes in underlying facts and circumstances.

 

The Company entered into a purchase agreement with JV company and through their platform to purchase of gold. In adopting ASC Topic 330, Inventory, it permits certain inventories such as precious metals, agricultural and mineral inventories to be stated above cost in exceptional cases. We believe that because our business model is to trade gold and held in short-term, market value is a more useful and relevant measurement than lower of cost or market value.

 

Goodwill

 

Goodwill is recorded as the difference between the aggregate consideration paid for in a business combination and the fair value of the acquired net tangible and intangible assets acquired. The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment on an annual basis in the fourth quarter or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. The Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. Based on that qualitative assessment, if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, the Company conducts a quantitative goodwill impairment test, which involves comparing the estimated fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying value, including goodwill. The Company estimates the fair value of a reporting unit using a combination of the income and market approach. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, an impairment loss is recorded for the difference.

 

Non-controlling interest

 

Non-controlling interests represent the equity interests in the subsidiaries that are not attributable, either directly or indirectly, to the Company.

 

Lease liabilities

 

In adopting ASC Topic 842, Leases (Topic 842), the Company has elected the ‘package of practical expedients’, which permit it not to reassess under the new standard its prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. The Company did not elect the use-of-hindsight or the practical expedient pertaining to land easements; the latter is not applicable to the Company.  In addition, the Company elected not to apply ASC Topic 842 to arrangements with lease terms of 12 month or less.  In determining the length of the lease term to its long-term lease, the Company determined it did not have an option to extend either lease.  

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt — Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options (“ASU 2021-04”). ASU 2021-04 provides guidance as to how an issuer should account for a modification of the terms or conditions or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option (i.e., a warrant) that remains classified after modification or exchange as an exchange of the original instrument for a new instrument. An issuer should


30



measure the effect of a modification or exchange as the difference between the fair value of the modified or exchanged warrant and the fair value of that warrant immediately before modification or exchange and then apply a recognition model that comprises four categories of transactions and the corresponding accounting treatment for each category (equity issuance, debt origination, debt modification, and modifications unrelated to equity issuance and debt origination or modification). ASU 2021-04 is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. An entity should apply the guidance provided in ASU 2021-04 prospectively to modifications or exchanges occurring on or after the effective date. Early adoption is permitted for all entities, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity elects to early adopt ASU 2021-04 in an interim period, the guidance should be applied as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The adoption of ASU 2021-04 is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statement presentation or disclosures.

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current U.S. GAAP. The ASU removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception and it also simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting ("ASU 2020-04"). The amendments in this update provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments in this ASU apply only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate that is expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The expedients and exceptions provided by the amendments do not apply to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after December 31, 2022, except for hedging relationships existing as of December 31, 2022, that an entity has elected certain optional expedients for and that are retained through the end of the hedging relationship. The amendments in this ASU are effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company did not modify any material contracts due to reference rate reform during fiscal 2020. The Company will continue to evaluate the impact this guidance will have on financial statements for all future transactions affected by reference rate reform during the time permitted.

 

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes ("ASU 2019-12"). The FASB issued this update as part of its initiative to reduce complexity in accounting standards. The amendments in this ASU simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also improve consistent application of other areas by clarifying and amending existing guidance. ASU 2019-12 is effective for the Company in fiscal 2022 and early adoption is permitted. Certain amendments of this ASU may be adopted on a retrospective basis, modified retrospective basis or prospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its financial statements.

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which establishes ASC 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses. The ASU revises the measurement of credit losses for financial assets measured at amortized cost from an incurred loss methodology to an expected loss methodology. The ASU affects trade receivables, debt securities, net investment in leases, and most other financial assets that represent a right to receive cash. Additional disclosures about significant estimates and credit quality are also required. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses. This ASU clarifies that receivables from operating leases are accounted for using the lease guidance and not as financial instruments. In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-05, Targeted Transition Relief, which amends ASC 326. This ASU provides an option to irrevocably elect to measure certain individual financial assets at fair value instead of amortized cost. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its financial statements. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans ("ASU 2018-14"), which updates the standard to remove disclosures that no longer are considered cost beneficial, clarifies the specific requirements of disclosures, and adds disclosure requirements identified as relevant. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of this new standard and does not believe that the adoption of this ASU will have a significant impact on its financial statements.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases, which provides narrow amendments to clarify how to apply certain aspects of


31



the new lease standard, and ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, which addressed implementation issues related to the new lease standard. These and certain other lease-related ASUs have generally been codified in ASC 842, Leases (“ASC 842”). ASC 842 supersedes the lease accounting requirements in ASC 840, Leases (“ASC 840”). ASC 842 establishes a right-of-use model that requires a lessee to record a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases. Under ASC 842, leases are classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. The standard also requires disclosures around the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The Company adopted the new standard since January 1, 2019.

 

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

 

NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN

 

As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has generated a net loss of $967,685 and an accumulated deficit of $10,268,776 as of December 31, 2021. 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 15 - 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, 2021, 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, 2021, the Company has available for U.S. federal income tax purposes a net operating loss carryforward of approximately $5,940,000, 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, 2021 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.

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

 

None.

 

Item 9A.   CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures.  As of December 31, 2021, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the design and operation of these disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in applicable rules and forms.

  

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control system is designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and board of directors regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

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.

  

Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021. In making this assessment, management used the 2013 criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control — Integrated Framework. Based on management’s assessment and those criteria, management believes that, as of December 31, 2021, the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting.

  

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Our management’s report of the effectiveness on the design and operation of our internal control over financial reporting was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered 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.

  

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.  As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the Company’s disclosure control and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)).  Based on this evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and Rule 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the period covered by this report and that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

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:

 

 

 

Name

Age

Positions Held

 

 

 

Stanley Chan

67

President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Director

 

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.

 

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

 

We are unaware of any person who, at any time during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, was a director, executive officer, or beneficial owner of more than 10% of our common stock that failed to file on a timely basis reports required by Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act.

 

Committees of the Board of Directors

 

The current Board is composed of one director. We currently do not have a separate Audit Committee, Nominating, Governance Committee or Compensation Committee; however, we intend to expand the size of our Board of Directors and intend to seek qualified directors to serve on the Board and ultimately form standing Audit, Nominating, Governance 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.


39



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.

 

Leadership Structure

 

The chairman of our Board of Directors, and Chief Executive Officer positions are currently the same person, Mr. Chan. Our Bylaws do not require our Board of Directors to separate the roles of chairman and chief executive officer but provides our Board of Directors with the flexibility to determine whether the two roles should be combined or separated based upon our needs.  Our Board of Directors believes the combination of the chairman and the chief executive officer roles is the appropriate structure for our company at this time. Our Board of Directors believes the current leadership structure serves as an aid in the Board of Directors’ oversight of management and it provides us with sound corporate governance practices in the management of our business.

 

Risk Management

 

The Board of Directors discharges its responsibilities, and assesses the information provided by our management and the independent auditor, in accordance with its business judgment.  Management is responsible for the preparation, presentation, and integrity of the Company’s financial statements, and management is responsible for conducting business in an ethical and risk mitigating manner.  The Board of Directors oversees management in their duty to manage the risk of our company and each of our subsidiaries. Our Board of Directors regularly reviews information provided by management as management works to manage risks in the business. The Board of Directors intends to establish Board Committees to assist the full Board of Directors’ oversight by focusing on risks related to the particular area of concentration of the relevant committee.

 

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.

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.

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.
