JTI Group
On April 2, 2020, the Company, as purchaser, and Ace Vantage Investments Limited (equally held by Mr. Roy Kong Hoi Chan (an executive director and president of the Company, “Mr. Roy Chan”) and his father) as vendor (the “Vendor”) entered into a sale and purchase agreement (the “Agreement”) with respect to the acquisition (the “Transaction”) of the entire issued share capital of JTI Financial Services Group Limited (“JTI”) for a consideration of $4,686,272, which would be satisfied by the allotment and issuance of the shares of the Company.
Under the terms and conditions of the Agreement, the Company offered, sold and issued 1,874,508 shares of common stock of the Company as consideration shares (the “Consideration Shares”) at the issue price of $2.5 per Consideration Share for the acquisition of all the issued share capital of JTI.
On June 30, 2020, pursuant to the amendment to the Agreement, the parties agreed to adjust (i) the consideration of the Transaction from $4,686,272 to $10,295,455; and (ii) the number of Consideration Shares from 1,874,508 shares to 4,118,182 Consideration Shares. The effect of the issuance is that the Vendor will hold approximately 61.54% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company.
1
Mr. Roy Chan, the founder of JTI, an executive director and president of the Company, is the holder of 629,350 shares of common stock of the Company prior to the Transaction.
After the issuance of 4,118,182 Consideration Shares, Vender holds 61.54% issued and outstanding shares of Temir and collectively with Mr. Roy Chan and Mr. Chan Hip Fong (father of Mr Roy Chan) together hold 70.94% issued and outstanding shares of Temir.
Upon completion of the Transactions on July 6, 2020, JTI became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Temir. For financial accounting purposes, the share exchange was accounted for as a reverse acquisition by JTI, and resulted in a recapitalization, with JTI being the accounting acquirer and Temir as the acquired entity.
JTI was incorporated in Hong Kong, China on February 8, 2019.
The Company through its subsidiaries provide diversified financial services. JTI has four operating subsidiaries and one investment subsidiary, namely, JTI Finance Limited (“JF”), Concept We Mortgage Broker Limited (“CW”), JTI Property Agency Limited (“JP”) and JTI Asset Management Limited (“JA”) and Temir Logistics Industrial Park Limited (“Temir Logistics’) is an investment holding company.
Transaction re Bac Giang International Logistics Co., Ltd.
On May 20, 2021, the Company, Hainan Qicheng Asset Management Joint Stock Company (“Hainan”) and Temir Logistics entered into a sale and purchase agreement (“SPA”), pursuant to which the Company shall issue 930,233 shares of the Company at a price of $21.5 per share, valued at $20,000,000 in exchange of 10% shareholding in Bac Giang International Logistics Co., Ltd. Bac Giang is a company incorporated in the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, the principal business of which is to build and run a modern international logistics park in Bac Giang Province, Vietnam. 930,233 shares of the Company were issued to the nominee of Hainan on June 8, 2021.

It was intended to invest in Bac Giang International Logistics Co., Ltd., which is in turn building and running an international logistics park in Bac Giang Province, Vietnam.
On August 25, 2021, the Company, Hainan and Temir Logistics entered into a SPA Termination agreement (the “Termination Agreement”) to terminate all of the rights and obligation of the SPA entered on May 20, 2021 and to cancel the 930,233 shares issued to the nominee. 930,233 shares were cancelled on September 16, 2021.

The formation of JTI Financial Services Group Limited was completed in March 2019. Upon incorporation, JTI issued 1 ordinary share at HK$1 to Mr. Roy Kong Hoi Chan. On March 20, 2019, JTI issued 9,999,999 shares of the Company to Ace Vantage Investments Limited (“Ace Vantage”) at a total cash consideration of HK$3,509,999.65 ($450,000), resulting a total share capital of 10,000,000 shares at HK$3,510,000.65 ($450,000). Ace Vantage was 50% owned by Mr. Roy Kong Hoi Chan and 50% owned by Mr. Chan Hip Fong, father of Mr. Roy Kong Hoi Chan. The Company is owned and controlled by the same control group as JF, CW, JP and JA. On March 29, 2019, the beneficial shareholders of JF, CW, JP and JA exchanged 100% of their shareholding of JF, CW, JP and JA for the shares of the Company (the “Share Exchange”). The Share Exchange has been accounted for as a common control transaction. Other than its 100% ownership of JF, CW, JP and JA, JTI has no significant assets and no other business operations.
JF was incorporated in Hong Kong, China on December 29, 2011 as a company with limited liability. Upon incorporation, JF issued 1 ordinary share to Ace Vantage at HK$1. On March 29, 2019, Ace Vantage transferred 100% of their shareholding of JF to JTI.
CW was incorporated in Hong Kong, China on December 18, 2013 as a company with limited liability. Upon incorporation, CW issued 10,000 ordinary shares to Century Crown Investment Limited at HK$1 each. Century Crown Investment Limited was incorporated in Hong Kong, China and 100% held by Ace Vantage. On March 29, 2019, Century Crown Investment Limited transferred 100% of their shareholding of CW to JTI.
JP was incorporated in Hong Kong, China on December 21, 2011 as a company with limited liability. Upon incorporation, JP issued 1 ordinary share to Ace Vantage at HK$1. On March 29, 2019, Ace Vantage transferred 100% of their shareholding of JP to JTI.
JA was incorporated in Hong Kong, China on May 2, 2017 as a company with limited liability. Upon incorporation, JA issued 1 ordinary share to Ace Vantage at HK$1. On March 29, 2019, Ace Vantage transferred 100% of their shareholding of JA to JTI
The acquisitions of JF, CW, JP and JA by JTI have been accounted for as common control transactions in a manner similar to a pooling of interests and there was no recognition of any goodwill or excess of the acquirers’ interest in the net fair value of the acquirees’ identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over cost at the time of the common control combinations. Therefore, these transactions were recorded at historical cost with a reclassification of equity from retained profits to additional paid in capital to reflect the deemed value of consideration given in the local jurisdiction and the capital structure of JF, CW, JP and JA. The consolidated financial statements of the Company include all of the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, JF, CW, JP and JA for all periods presented. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the consolidation.

Temir Corp. has been approved to upgrade its common shares from the Pink® Open Market to the OTCQB® Venture Market under the trading system “TMRR”, effective September 8, 2020.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
The Company operates in an environment that involves a number of risks and uncertainties. The risks and uncertainties described in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks and uncertainties that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties that presently are not considered material or are not known to us, and therefore are not mentioned herein, may impair our business operations. If any of the risks described in this Annual Report on Form 10-K actually occur, our business, operating results and financial position could be adversely affected.
RISKS RELATING TO OUR BUSINESS IN HONG KONG
Our company currently does not have any operations in mainland China. Accordingly, the laws and regulations of the PRC do not currently have any material impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. However, if certain PRC laws and regulations were to become applicable to a company such as us in the future, the application of such laws and regulations may have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations and our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors, any of which may cause the value of our common stock, to significantly decline or become worthless. See the following risk factors of “Our business, financial condition and results of operations, and/or the value of our common stock or our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors may be materially and adversely affected to the extent the laws and regulations of the PRC become applicable to a company such as us” and “The PRC government exerts substantial influence and discretion over the manner in which companies incorporated under the laws of PRC must conduct their business activities. We are a Hong Kong-based company with no operations in mainland China. However, if we were to become subject to such direct influence or discretion, it may result in a material change in our operations and/or the value of your common stock, which would materially affect the interests of investors.”
Political risks associated with conducting business in Hong Kong.
Our operations are based in Hong Kong. Accordingly, our business operation and financial conditions will be affected by the political and legal developments in Hong Kong. During the period covered by the financial information incorporated by reference into and included in this prospectus, we maintain substantially all of our operations in Hong Kong. Any adverse economic, social and/or political conditions, material social unrest, strike, riot, civil disturbance or disobedience, as well as significant natural disasters, may affect the market may adversely affect our business operations. Hong Kong is a special administrative region of the PRC and the basic policies of the PRC regarding Hong Kong are reflected in the Basic Law, namely, Hong Kong’s constitutional document, which provides Hong Kong with a high degree of autonomy and executive, legislative and independent judicial powers, including that of final adjudication under the principle of “one country, two systems”. However, there is no assurance that there will not be any changes in the economic, political and legal environment in Hong Kong in the future. Since our operation is based in Hong Kong, any change of such political arrangements may pose immediate threat to the stability of the economy in Hong Kong, thereby directly and adversely affecting our results of operations and financial positions.
Under the Basic Law of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China, Hong Kong is exclusively in charge of its internal affairs and external relations, while the government of the PRC is responsible for its foreign affairs and defense. As a separate customs territory, Hong Kong maintains and develops relations with foreign states and regions. Based on certain recent development including the Law of the People’s Republic of China on Safeguarding National Security in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region issued by the Standing Committee of the PRC National People’s Congress in June 2020, the U.S. State Department has indicated that the United States no longer considers Hong Kong to have significant autonomy from China and President Trump signed an executive order and Hong Kong Autonomy Act, or HKAA, to remove Hong Kong’s preferential trade status and to authorize the U.S. administration to impose blocking sanctions against individuals and entities who are determined to have materially contributed to the erosion of Hong Kong’s autonomy. The United States may impose the same tariffs and other trade restrictions on exports from Hong Kong that it places on goods from mainland China. These and other recent actions may represent an escalation in political and trade tensions involving the U.S, China and Hong Kong, which could potentially harm our business.
Given the relatively small geographical size of Hong Kong, any of such incidents may have a widespread effect on our business operations, which could in turn adversely and materially affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. It is difficult to predict the full impact of the HKAA on Hong Kong and companies with operations in Hong Kong like us. Furthermore, legislative or administrative actions in respect of China-U.S. relations could cause investor uncertainty for affected issuers, including us, and the market price of our Ordinary Shares could be adversely affected.
5
If we become directly subject to the recent scrutiny, criticism and negative publicity involving U.S.-listed Chinese companies, we may have to expend significant resources to investigate and resolve the matter which could harm our business operations, stock price and reputation and could result in a loss of your investment in our stock, especially if such matter cannot be addressed and resolved favourably.
Recently, U.S. public companies that have substantially all of their operations in China, including Hong Kong, have been the subject of intense scrutiny, criticism and negative publicity by investors, financial commentators and regulatory agencies, such as the SEC. Much of the scrutiny, criticism and negative publicity has centered around financial and accounting irregularities and mistakes, a lack of effective internal controls over financial accounting, inadequate corporate governance policies or a lack of adherence thereto and, in many cases, allegations of fraud. As a result of the scrutiny, criticism and negative publicity, the publicly traded stock of many U.S. listed Chinese companies has sharply decreased in value and, in some cases, has become virtually worthless. Many of these companies are now subject to shareholder lawsuits and SEC enforcement actions and are conducting internal and external investigations into the allegations. It is not clear what effect this sector-wide scrutiny, criticism and negative publicity will have on our company, our business and our stock price. If we become the subject of any unfavourable allegations, whether such allegations are proven to be true or untrue, we will have to expend significant resources to investigate such allegations and/or defend our company. This situation will be costly and time consuming and distract our management from growing our company.
Our international operations involve special risks.
Our international operations involve financial and business risks that differ from or are in addition to those faced by our Hong Kong operations, including:
● | cultural and language differences; |
● | different employment laws and rules, employment or service contracts, compensation methods, and social and cultural factors that could result in employee turnover, lower utilization rates, higher costs and cyclical fluctuations in utilization that could adversely affect financial and operating results; |
● | foreign currency disruptions and currency fluctuations between the Hong Kong dollar and foreign currencies that could adversely affect financial and operating results; |
● | different legal and regulatory requirements and other barriers to conducting business; |
● | greater difficulties in resolving the collection of receivables when legal proceedings are necessary; |
● | greater difficulties in managing our non-Hong Kong operations, including client relationships, in certain locations; |
● | disparate systems, policies, procedures and processes; |
● | failure to comply with the FCPA and anti-bribery laws of other jurisdictions; |
● | higher operating costs; |
● | longer sales and/or collections cycles; |
● | potential restrictions or adverse tax consequences for the repatriation of foreign earnings, such as trapped foreign losses and importation or withholding taxes; |
● | different or less stable political and/or economic environments; |
● | conflicts between and among the Hong Kong and countries in which we conduct business, including those arising from trade disputes or disruptions, the termination or suspension of treaties, or boycotts; and |
● | civil disturbances or other catastrophic events that reduce business activity. |
If we are not able to quickly adapt to or effectively manage our operations in geographic markets outside the Hong Kong, our business prospects and results of operations could be negatively impacted.
6
You may incur additional costs and procedural obstacles in effecting service of legal process, enforcing foreign judgments or bringing actions in Hong Kong against us or our management named in the prospectus based on Hong Kong laws.
Currently, all of our operations are conducted outside the United States, and all of our assets are located outside the United States. All of our directors and officers are Hong Kong nationals or residents and a substantial portion of their assets are located in Hong Kong outside the United States. You may incur additional costs and procedural obstacles in effecting service of legal process, enforcing foreign judgments or bringing actions in Hong Kong against us or our management named in the prospectus, as judgments entered in the United States can be enforced in Hong Kong only at common law. If you want to enforce a judgment of the United States in Hong Kong, it must be a final judgment conclusive upon the merits of the claim, for a liquidated amount in a civil matter and not in respect of taxes, fines, penalties, or similar charges, the proceedings in which the judgment was obtained were not contrary to natural justice, and the enforcement of the judgment is not contrary to public policy of Hong Kong. Such a judgment must be for a fixed sum and must also come from a “competent” court as determined by the private international law rules applied by the Hong Kong courts.
The enactment of Law of the PRC on Safeguarding National Security in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (the “Hong Kong National Security Law”) could impact our Hong Kong operating entities.
On June 30, 2020, the Standing Committee of the PRC National People’s Congress adopted the Hong Kong National Security Law. This law defines the duties and government bodies of the Hong Kong National Security Law for safeguarding national security and four categories of offences — secession, subversion, terrorist activities, and collusion with a foreign country or external elements to endanger national security — and their corresponding penalties. On July 14, 2020, the former U.S. President Donald Trump signed the Hong Kong Autonomy Act, or HKAA, into law, authorizing the U.S. administration to impose blocking sanctions against individuals and entities who are determined to have materially contributed to the erosion of Hong Kong’s autonomy. On August 7, 2020 the U.S. government imposed HKAA-authorized sanctions on eleven individuals, including HKSAR chief executive Carrie Lam. On October 14, 2020, the U.S. State Department submitted to relevant committees of Congress the report required under HKAA, identifying persons materially contributing to “the failure of the Government of China to meet its obligations under the Joint Declaration or the Basic Law.” The HKAA further authorizes secondary sanctions, including the imposition of blocking sanctions, against foreign financial institutions that knowingly conduct a significant transaction with foreign persons sanctioned under this authority. The imposition of sanctions may directly affect the foreign financial institutions as well as any third parties or customers dealing with any foreign financial institution that is targeted. It is difficult to predict the full impact of the Hong Kong National Security Law and HKAA on Hong Kong and companies located in Hong Kong. If our Hong Kong subsidiary is determined to be in violation of the Hong Kong National Security Law or the HKAA by competent authorities, our business operations, financial position and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
Chinese government may intervene or influence our operations at any time or may exert more control over offerings conducted overseas and foreign investment in China-based issuers, which may result in a material change in our operations and/or the value of our ordinary shares. Additionally, the governmental and regulatory interference could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or be worthless.
We are aware that recently, the PRC government initiated a series of regulatory actions and statements to regulate business operations in certain areas in China with little advance notice, including cracking down on illegal activities in the securities market, enhancing supervision over China-based companies listed overseas using variable interest entity structure, adopting new measures to extend the scope of cybersecurity reviews, and expanding the efforts in anti-monopoly enforcement.
7
The Hong Kong legal system embodies uncertainties which could limit the availability of legal protections.
As one of the conditions for the handover of the sovereignty of Hong Kong to China, China accepted conditions such as Hong Kong’s Basic Law. The Basic Law ensured Hong Kong will retain its own currency (the Hong Kong Dollar), legal system, parliamentary system and people’s rights and freedom for fifty years from 1997. This agreement has given Hong Kong the freedom to function with a high degree of autonomy. The Special Administrative Region of Hong Kong is responsible for its own domestic affairs including, but not limited to, the judiciary and courts of last resort, immigration and customs, public finance, currencies and extradition. Hong Kong continues using the English common law system.
However, if the PRC attempts to alter its agreement to allow Hong Kong to function autonomously, this could potentially impact Hong Kong’s common law legal system and may in turn bring about uncertainty in, for example, the enforcement of our contractual rights. This could, in turn, materially and adversely affect our business and operations. Additionally, intellectual property rights and confidentiality protections in Hong Kong may not be as effective as in the United States or other countries. Accordingly, we cannot predict the effect of future developments in the Hong Kong legal system, including the promulgation of new laws, changes to existing laws or the interpretation or enforcement thereof, or the pre-emption of local regulations by national laws. These uncertainties could limit the legal protections available to us, including our ability to enforce our agreements with our customers.
Our business, financial condition and results of operations, and/or the value of our common stock or our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors may be materially and adversely affected to the extent the laws and regulations of the PRC become applicable to a company such as us.
We currently do not have or intend to have any subsidiary or any contractual arrangement to establish a variable interest entity structure with any entity in mainland China, and we have direct ownership of our operating entities in Hong Kong. However, as our principal executive offices are located, and we operate, in Hong Kong, a special administrative region of China, there is no guarantee that if certain existing or future laws of the PRC become applicable to a company such as us, it will not have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations and/or our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors, any of which may cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or be worthless.
Except for the Basic Law, the national laws of the PRC do not apply in Hong Kong unless they are listed in Annex III of the Basic Law and applied locally by promulgation or local legislation. National laws that may be listed in Annex III are currently limited under the Basic Law to those which fall within the scope of defense and foreign affairs as well as other matters outside the limits of the autonomy of Hong Kong. National laws and regulations relating to data protection, cybersecurity and the anti-monopoly have not been listed in Annex III and so do not apply directly to Hong Kong.
The laws and regulations in the PRC are evolving, and their enactment timetable, interpretation and implementation involve significant uncertainties. To the extent any PRC laws and regulations become applicable to us, we may be subject to the risks and uncertainties associated with the legal system in the PRC, including with respect to the enforcement of laws and the possibility of changes of rules and regulations with little or no advance notice. We currently do not have plan to expand our operation or acquire any operation in the mainland China. However, we may also become subject to the laws and regulations of the PRC to the extent we commence business and customer facing operations in mainland China as a result of any future acquisition, expansion or organic growth.
RISKS RELATING TO OUR COMPANY
Financial service industry is highly competitive in Hong Kong.
We operate in the financial services industry in Hong Kong, which has a large number of existing participants, making the industry highly competitive. Our results of operations and business development are dependent on our ability to complete equity or debt financings or generate profitable return. Such financings may not be available or may not be available on reasonable terms. Our financial statements do not include any adjustment that is able to reflect the outcome of this uncertainty.
8
If our estimates related to future expenditures are erroneous or inaccurate, our business will fail and you could lose your entire investment.
Our success is dependent in part upon the accuracy of our management’s estimates of our future cost expenditures for legal and accounting services (including those we expect to incur as a publicly reporting company) and for administrative expenses. If such estimates are erroneous or inaccurate, or if we encounter unforeseen costs, we may not be able to carry out our business plan, which could result in the failure of our business and the loss of your entire investment.
If we are not able to develop our business as anticipated, we may not be able to generate revenue or achieve profitability and you may lose your investment.
Our business prospects are difficult to predict because of the financial service industry is highly competitive. Our primary business activities will be focused on the relative high risk operating cash flows funding. Although we believe that our business plan has significant profit potential, we may not attain profitable operations and our management may not succeed in realizing our business objectives. If we are not able to develop our business as anticipated, we may not be able to generate revenue or achieve profitability and you may lose your entire investment.
We may not be able to execute our business plan or stay in business without additional funding.
Our ability to generate future operating revenue depends in part on whether we can obtain necessary financing to implement our business plan. We may require additional financing through the issuance of debt and/or equity to fund our future operation plans, and such financing may not be forthcoming. As widely reported, the global and domestic financial markets have been extremely volatile in recent months. If such conditions and constraints continue or if there is no investor appetite to finance our specific business, we may not be able to acquire additional financing through credit markets or equity markets. Even if additional financing is available, it may not be available on terms favourable to us. At this time, we have not identified or secured sources of additional financing. Our failure to secure additional financing when it becomes required will have an adverse effect on our ability to remain in business.
Our operating subsidiaries may fail to renew their licenses.
Our money lending business is subject to licensing requirements under the provisions of the Money Lenders Ordinance (Chapter 163 of the Laws of Hong Kong). JF, our operating subsidiary, is a licensed money lender in Hong Kong, holding a money lender license. Money lenders licenses are granted by the licensing court of Hong Kong and are renewable annually subject to satisfaction of all licensing conditions. The licensing court has the discretion to suspend or revoke a license if a licensee is in breach of any licensing condition. We cannot guarantee that the conditions or requirements which JF may be required to satisfy or meet will not change from time to time.
Our property agency business is subject to licensing requirements under the provisions of the Estate Agents Ordinance (Chapter 511 of the Laws of Hong Kong). JP is a licensed property agent in Hong Kong, holding an estate agent’s license granted by Estate Agents Authority of Hong Kong. The Estate Agents Authority of Hong Kong has the discretion to suspend or revoke a license if a licensee is in breach of any licensing condition. We cannot guarantee that the conditions or requirements which JP may be required to satisfy or meet will not change from time to time.
In the event that our operating subsidiaries are unable to renew their licenses in a timely manner or if the relevant authorities do not approve the application for a renewal of their licenses, our subsidiaries may not be able to operate their business until such time as they receive new licenses, which may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operation.
Our property agency business and mortgage referral business are sensitive to downturns in the economy, economic uncertainty and particularly the performance of the real estate market in Hong Kong.
CW and JP are our operating subsidiaries that mainly provide mortgage referral services and commercial property agency services in Hong Kong. Their business and financial performance are sensitive to the real estate market in Hong Kong. Demand for property is sensitive to downturns and uncertainty in the global and regional economy and corresponding changes in the appetite for real estate investments and purchases. Changes in the appetite for real estate investments and purchases are driven by various factors including, amongst others, perceived or actual general economic conditions, employment and job market conditions, actual or perceived levels of disposable consumer income and wealth and consumer confidence in the economy. These and other factors have, in the past, affected consumer demand for real estate and any negative sentiment or downturn in the economy could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and also our liquidity position.

Our money lending business is exposed to the credit risks of our customers.
The financial position and profitability of our money lending business depends in part on our customers’ creditworthiness. Thus, we are exposed to our customers’ credit risks. There is no assurance that we will not encounter doubtful or bad debts in the future. If we experience slower payments from our customers, it may increase our accounts receivable aging and/or our bad debts. Further, our cash flows and financial results will be adversely affected if we experience any unexpected delay or difficulty in collections from our customers.
Our money lending business is affected by fluctuations in interest rates and our credit position.
The interest rate risks faced by JF arise from both the interest-bearing lending and borrowings of our money lending business. In particular, our profitability is highly correlated with the net interest margin, being the difference between the interest rate charged to our customers and the costs of our funding. The interest rate chargeable by JF to its customers is determined by, amongst other factors, the market demand for loans and the prevailing competition in the industry, and is ultimately capped by the relevant provisions of the Money Lenders Ordinance (Chapter 163 of the Laws of Hong Kong). The borrowing cost of JF is determined with reference to the overall local money lending market conditions and our credit positions. An increase in general interest rates or a deterioration of our credit positions will lead to increases in our funding costs.
Our money lending business may be affected by changes in the Money Lenders Ordinance (Chapter 163 of the Laws of Hong Kong).
The business operation of JF is regulated under the Money Lenders Ordinance (Chapter 163 of the Laws of Hong Kong) and full compliance with such regulation is essential for us to carry on our business. Notwithstanding this, the relevant regulatory authorities may from time to time amend the Money Lenders Ordinance (Chapter 163 of the Laws of Hong Kong) or adopt new laws and regulations applicable to licensed money lenders in Hong Kong. Our operation, financial performance and business prospects may be materially and adversely affected if we are not able to comply with any changes and/or new requirements in applicable laws and regulations related to the money lending industry in Hong Kong. Notably, for the mortgage loans granted by us to our customers, the interest rate for such loans shall not exceed the maximum effective interest rate of 60% per annum as stipulated under the Money Lenders Ordinance (Chapter 163 of the Laws of Hong Kong). In the event that such maximum limit for interest rate is lowered as a result of any change to the Money Lenders Ordinance (Chapter 163 of the Laws of Hong Kong) and/or any relevant laws and regulations, thus limiting and lowering the interest rate we can offer to our customers, our financial performance, operational results and profitability may be materially and adversely affected.
Unfavourable financial market and economic conditions in Hong Kong, China, and elsewhere in the world could materially and adversely affect our asset management business.
JA is planning to apply for fund management licenses in Hong Kong or in other jurisdiction, aiming to provide fund management services globally. During a market or general economic downturn, we may derive lower revenue from our asset management business due to lower mark-to-market or fair value of the assets that we manage. In addition, due to uncertainty or volatility in the market or in response to difficult market conditions, our customers or prospective customers may withdraw funds from, or hesitate to allocate assets to, our asset management business in favor of investments they perceive as offering greater opportunity or lower risk. Difficult market conditions can also materially and adversely affect our ability to launch new products or offer new services in our asset management business, which could negatively affect our financial performance, operational results and profitability.
The loss of the services of any key member of management team, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors, or our failure to timely identify and retain competent personnel could negatively impact our ability to develop our business and sell our services.
The decision making is based on a team of management, which consists of at least 5 directors and/or managers. The board of directors consists of 6 members. We are not highly dependent on any manager or director for any business decisions. Our future success depends upon the continued services of our executive officers who are developing our business, and on our ability to identify and retain competent consultants and employees with the skills required to execute our business objectives. The loss of the services of any executive officer or director or our failure to timely identify and retain competent personnel would have small impact our ability to develop our business and license our brand, and have minimal effect on our financial results and impair our growth.

Our success depends on good business relationship with clients and banks and other financial institutions.
Our success depends on good business relationship with clients and banks and other financial institutions. Our business would be adversely affected if:
● | the major banks in Hong Kong such as HSBC, Bank of China, Hang Seng Bank, suspend or terminate their mortgage business, our revenue generated from mortgage referral business will be substantially impacted; |
● | our major business partner, Savills (Hong Kong), has any negative impact on their business or their reputation, our revenue generated from property agency business will be affected; |
● | we fail to raise capital for the development of initial customer base and reputation; |
● | we fail to implement our business model and strategy; and |
● | we are not able to retain our management team who have extensive working experience in the banking and finance sectors. |
We incur costs associated with SEC reporting compliance, which may significantly affect our financial condition.
The Company made the decision to become an SEC “reporting company” in order to comply with applicable laws and regulations. We incur certain costs of compliance with applicable SEC reporting rules and regulations including, but not limited to attorneys’ fees, accounting and auditing fees, other professional fees, financial printing costs and Sarbanes-Oxley compliance costs in an amount estimated at approximately US$100,000 per year. On balance, the Company determined that the incurrence of such costs and expenses was preferable to the Company being in a position where it had very limited access to additional capital funding.
We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. If we fail to remediate the material weaknesses or maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, we may be unable to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud, and investor confidence and the market price of our shares may be adversely affected.
To implement Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or SOX 404, the SEC adopted rules requiring public companies to include a report of management on the company’s internal control over financial reporting in their annual reports on Form 10-K. Under current law, we are subject to the requirement that we maintain internal controls and that management perform periodic evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal controls, assuming our filing status remains as a smaller reporting company. A report of our management is included under Item 9A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our management has identified the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting:
(1) | We do not have an audit committee – While we are not obligated to have an audit committee, it is management’s view that such a committee, including a financial expert member, is an utmost important entity level control over the Company’s financial reporting. Currently, our Chief Executive Officer and directors act in the capacity of the audit committee, and do not include a member that is considered to be independent of management to provide the necessary oversight over management’s activities. | |
(2) | We do not have adequate written policies and procedures – Due to lack of adequate written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting, we did not establish a formal process to close our books monthly and account for all transactions in a timely manner. | |
(3) | We did not implement appropriate information technology controls – As at August 31, 2021, we retained copies of all financial data and material agreements; however, there is no formal procedure or evidence of normal backup of our data or off-site storage of the data in the event of theft, misplacement, or loss due to unmitigated factors. | |
(4) | We do not have sufficient and skilled accounting personnel with an appropriate level of technical accounting knowledge and experience in the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States commensurate with our financial reporting requirements. |
11
A “material weakness” is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. We have taken measures and plan to continue to take measures to remedy this material weakness. However, the implementation of these measures may not fully address the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. Our failure to address any control deficiency could result in inaccuracies in our financial statements and could also impair our ability to comply with applicable financial reporting requirements and related regulatory filings on a timely basis. Moreover, effective internal control over financial reporting is important to prevent fraud. As a result, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, as well as the trading price of our shares, may be materially and adversely affected.
Our independent registered auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Our audited financial statements included in this report include an explanatory paragraph that indicates that they were prepared assuming that we would continue as a going concern. As of August 31, 2021, we have suffered recurring losses from operations, and records an accumulated deficit and a working capital deficit of $962,330 and $511,049, respectively. These factors raise substantial doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon improving our profitability and the continuing financial support from our shareholders or other debt or capital sources. Management believes the existing shareholders or external financing will provide the additional cash to meet our obligations as they become due. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in our plans described above or in attracting equity or alternative financing on acceptable terms, or if at all. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets and liabilities that may result in our inability to continue as a going concern.
The audit report included in this report have been prepared by auditors whose work may not be inspected fully by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and, as such, you may be deprived of the benefits of such inspection.
As a public company with securities quoted on the OTCQB, we will be required to have our financial statements audited by an independent registered public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB. A requirement of being registered with the PCAOB is that if requested by the SEC or PCAOB, such accounting firm is required to make its audits and related audit work papers be subject to regular inspections to assess its compliance with the applicable professional standards.
Since our auditor is located in Hong Kong and China, jurisdictions where the PCAOB has been unable to conduct inspections without the approval of the Chinese authorities due to various state secrecy laws and the revised PRC Securities Law, the PCAOB currently does not have free access to inspect the work of our auditor. This lack of the PCAOB inspections in Hong Kong and China prevents the PCAOB from fully evaluating audits and quality control procedures of our auditor. As a result, we and our stockholders are deprived of the benefits of such PCAOB inspections, which could cause investors in our stock to lose confidence in our audit procedures and the quality of our financial statements.
On December 18, 2020, the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, or HFCAA, was enacted. In essence, the act requires the SEC to prohibit securities of any foreign companies from being listed on U.S. securities exchanges or traded “over-the-counter” if a company retains a foreign accounting firm that cannot be inspected by the PCAOB for three consecutive years, beginning in 2021. Our independent registered public accounting firm is located in and organized under the laws of Hong Kong and China, jurisdictions where the PCAOB is currently unable to conduct inspections without the approval of the Chinese authorities, and therefore our auditors are not currently inspected by the PCAOB.
12
On March 24, 2021, the SEC adopted interim final amendments, relating to the implementation of certain disclosure and documentation requirements of the HFCAA, and on December 2, 2021, adopted amendments to finalize rules implementing the submission and disclosures in the HFCAA. The final amendments applied to registrants that the SEC identifies as having filed an annual report with an audit report issued by a registered public accounting firm that is located in a foreign jurisdiction and that the PCAOB has determined it is unable to inspect or investigate completely because of a position taken by an authority in that jurisdiction. Before any registrant will be required to comply with the final amendments, the SEC must implement a process for identifying such registrants. Consistent with the HFCAA, the amendments require any identified registrant to submit documentation to the SEC establishing that the registrant is not owned or controlled by a government entity in that jurisdiction, and also require, among other things, disclosure in the registrant’s annual report regarding the audit arrangements of, and government influence on, such registrant. If a registrant is identified as a commission-identified issuer based on its annual report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, the registrant will be required to comply with the submission or disclosure requirements in its annual report filing covering the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.
Furthermore, on June 22, 2021, the U.S. Senate passed a bill which, if passed by the U.S. House of Representatives and signed into law, would reduce the number of consecutive non-inspection years required for triggering the prohibitions under the HFCAA from three years to two.
The SEC may propose additional rules or guidance that could impact us if our auditor is not subject to PCAOB inspection. For example, on August 6, 2020, the President’s Working Group on Financial Markets, or the PWG, issued the Report on Protecting United States Investors from Significant Risks from Chinese Companies to the then President of the United States. This report recommended that the SEC implement five recommendations to address companies from jurisdictions that do not provide the PCAOB with sufficient access to fulfil its statutory mandate. Some of the concepts of these recommendations were implemented with the enactment of the HFCAA. However, some of the recommendations were more stringent than the HFCAA. For example, if a company was not subject to PCAOB inspection, the report recommended that the transition period before a company would be delisted would end on January 1, 2022.
The enactment of the HFCAA and the implications of any additional rulemaking efforts to increase U.S. regulatory access to audit information in Hong Kong and China could cause investor uncertainty for affected SEC registrants, including us, and the market price of our stock could be materially adversely affected. Additionally, whether the PCAOB will be able to conduct inspections of our auditors in the next three years, or at all, is subject to substantial uncertainty and depends on a number of factors out of our control. If we are unable to meet the PCAOB inspection requirement in time, our stock will not be permitted for trading “over-the counter” either. Such prohibition would substantially impair your ability to sell or purchase our stock when you wish to do so, and the risk and uncertainty associated with delisting would have a negative impact on the price of our stock. Also, such a delisting would significantly affect our ability to raise capital on terms acceptable to us, or at all, which would have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and prospects.
On November 5, 2021, the SEC approved PCAOB Rule 6100, Board Determination Under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountability Act, effective immediately. The rule establishes “a framework for the PCAOB’s determinations under the HFCAA that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms located in a foreign jurisdiction because of a position taken by an authority in that jurisdiction.”
13
Proceedings instituted by the SEC against five PRC-based accounting firms could result in financial statements being determined to be not in compliance with the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Starting in 2011, the China-based “big four” accounting firms were affected by a conflict between U.S. and Chinese law. Specifically, for certain U.S.-listed companies operating and audited in mainland China, the SEC and the PCAOB sought to obtain from the Chinese firms access to their audit work papers and related documents. The firms were, however, advised and directed that under Chinese law, they could not respond directly to the U.S. regulators on those requests, and that requests by foreign regulators for access to such papers in China had to be channeled through the Chinese Securities Regulatory Commission, or CSRC.
In late 2012, this impasse led the SEC to commence administrative proceedings under Rule 102(e) of its Rules of Practice and also under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 against the Chinese accounting firms, including our independent registered public accounting firm. A first instance trial of the proceedings in July 2013 in the SEC’s internal administrative court resulted in an adverse judgment against the firms. The administrative law judge proposed penalties on the firms including a temporary suspension of their right to practice before the SEC, although that proposed penalty did not take effect pending review by the Commissioners of the SEC. On February 6, 2015, before a review by the Commissioner had taken place, the firms reached a settlement with the SEC. Under the settlement, the SEC accepts that future requests by the SEC for the production of documents will normally be made to the CSRC. The firms will receive matching Section 106 requests, and are required to abide by a detailed set of procedures with respect to such requests, which in substance require them to facilitate production via the CSRC. If they fail to meet specified criteria, the SEC retains authority to impose a variety of additional remedial measures on the firms depending on the nature of the failure. Remedies for any future noncompliance could include, as appropriate, an automatic six-month bar on a single firm’s performance of certain audit work, commencement of a new proceeding against a firm, or, in extreme cases, the resumption of the current proceeding against all four firms.
In the event that the SEC restarts the administrative proceedings, depending upon the final outcome, listed companies in the U.S. with major PRC operations may find it difficult or impossible to retain auditors in respect of their operations in the PRC, which could result in financial statements being determined to not be in compliance with the requirements of the Exchange Act, including possible delisting. Moreover, any negative news about the proceedings against these audit firms may cause investor uncertainty regarding PRC-based, U.S.-listed companies and the market price of our common stock may be adversely affected.
If our independent registered public accounting firm was denied, even temporarily, the ability to practice before the SEC and we were unable to timely find another registered public accounting firm to audit and issue an opinion on our financial statements, our financial statements could be determined not to be in compliance with the requirements of the Exchange Act.
We, our customers, our suppliers and other partners may be adversely affected by disaster or health epidemics, including the recent COVID-19 outbreak.
In general, our business could be adversely affected by the effects of epidemics, including, but not limited to, the COVID-19, avian influenza, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), the influenza A virus, Ebola virus, severe weather conditions such as storm, flood or hazardous air pollution, or other outbreaks. In recent years, there have been outbreaks of epidemics in various countries. Recently, there was an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) in the PRC, which has spread rapidly across the world. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 a pandemic. In 2021, COVID-19 still affects the world.
14
As all of our revenues are generated in Hong Kong, our results of operations will likely be adversely, and may be materially, affected, to the extent that the COVID-19 or any other epidemic harms the Hong Kong’s and global economy. Any potential impact to our results of operations will depend on, to a large extent, future developments and new information that may emerge regarding the duration and severity of the COVID-19. The actions taken by government authorities and other organizations to contain the spread of COVID-19 are beyond our control. Potential impacts include, but are not limited to, the following:
● | temporary closure of offices and the implement of temporary travel restrictions; |
● | our customers that are negatively impacted by the outbreak of COVID-19 may reduce their budgets to purchase our services, which may materially adversely impact our revenue. We may have to provide significant sales incentives to our customers in response to boost our sales, which may in turn materially adversely affect our financial condition and operating results; | |
● | our customers may delay the payment or fail to pay us at all, which could significantly increase the amount of accounts receivable and require us to record additional allowances for doubtful accounts; | |
● | the business operations of our customers have been and could continue to be negatively impacted by the outbreak of COVID-19, which may result in loss of customers or disruption of our business or services, which may in turn materially adversely affect our financial condition and operating results; and | |
● | some of our customers, suppliers and other partners are small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which may not have strong cash flows or be well capitalized, and may be vulnerable to an epidemic outbreak and slowing macroeconomic conditions. Our results of operations and financial results may be materially and adversely affected if the SMEs that we work with fail to resume normal business operations as a result of economic impact or the outbreak of COVID-19. |
In response to the outbreak of COVID-19, government and other organizations may adopt regulations and policies that could lead to severe disruption to our daily operations, including but not limited to:
● | the reduction of economic activity and close our office for all our employees to work from home has resulted in a significant reduction in productivity. As a result of these effects, our cumulative revenues for the years ended August 31, 2020 were lower than our revenues for the same period in 2019 with the major negative impact identified in May 2020. Although our revenues increased in fiscal 2021, we continued to incur losses. Our liquidity is likely to be negatively impacted and additional funding may be needed in the future; | |
● | Since the year ended August 31, 2019, the Group has furthermore incurred losses. Depending on the duration of the COVID-19 crisis and continued negative impact on economic activity, the Group may experience further negative results, liquidity restraints and incur additional impairments on its assets going forward, which may result in material adverse impact to our financial condition and results of operations. |
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR SECURITIES
Our shares of common stock do not presently trade, and the price may not reflect our value and there can be no assurance that there will be an active market for our shares of common stock either now or in the future.
Although our common stock is quoted on the OTC Markets, our shares of common stock do not trade and the price of our common stock, if traded, may not reflect our value. There can be no assurance that there will be an active market for our shares of common stock either now or in the future. Market liquidity will depend on the perception of our operating business and any steps that our management might take to bring us to the awareness of investors. There can be no assurance given that there will be any awareness generated. Consequently, investors may not be able to liquidate their investment or liquidate it at a price that reflects the value of the business. As a result holders of our securities may not find purchasers our securities should they to sell securities held by them. Consequently, our securities should be purchased only by investors having no need for liquidity in their investment and who can hold our securities for an indefinite period of time.
15
If a more active market should develop, the price of our shares of common stock may be highly volatile. Because there may be a low price for our shares of common stock, many brokerage firms may not be willing to effect transactions in our securities. Even if an investor finds a broker willing to effect a transaction in the shares of our common stock, the combination of brokerage commissions, transfer fees, taxes, if any, and any other selling costs may exceed the selling price. Further, many lending institutions will not permit the use of such shares of common stock as collateral for any loans.
We may, in the future, issue additional common shares, which would reduce investors’ percent of ownership and may dilute our share value.
Our Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of 75,000,000 shares of common stock. As of August 31, 2021, and taking into consideration the cancellation of 930,233 shares of common stock in relation to the SPA Termination agreement of acquiring shareholding in Bac Giang International Logistics Co., Ltd, the Company had 6,692,187 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. Accordingly, we may issue up to an additional 68,307,818 shares of common stock. The future issuance of common stock and/or preferred stock will result in substantial dilution in the percentage of our common stock held by our then existing shareholders. We may value any common stock issued in the future on an arbitrary basis. The issuance of common stock for future services or acquisitions or other corporate actions may have the effect of diluting the value of the shares held by our investors, and might have an adverse effect on any trading market for our common stock.
Our officers and directors collectively beneficially own a majority of our stock, and accordingly, collectively have control over stockholder matters, our business and management.
As of December 9, 2021, Mr. Roy Chan, the Company’s President is holder of 4,747,532 shares, Mr. Mark Yip, the director, is holder of 1,250 shares and Mr. Brian Wong, Chief Executive officer, is holder of 244,630 shares of common stock of the Company. Therefore, our officers and directors collectively hold approximately 74.62% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock. As a result, our officers and directors will collectively have the discretion to:
● | Elect or defeat the election of our directors; |
● | Amend or prevent amendment of our Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; |
● | Effect or prevent a merger, sale of assets or other corporate transaction; and |
● | Affect the outcome of any other matter submitted to the stockholders for vote. |
Moreover, because of the significant ownership position held by our insiders, new investors may not be able to effect a change in our business or management, and therefore, shareholders would have no recourse as a result of decisions made by management.
In addition, sales of significant amounts of shares held by our officers and directors, or the prospect of these sales, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Management’s stock ownership may discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us, which in turn could reduce our stock price or prevent our stockholders from realizing a premium over our stock price.
16
State securities laws may limit secondary trading, which may restrict the states in which and conditions under which you can sell the shares offered by this prospectus.
Secondary trading in common stock sold in this offering will not be possible in any state until the common stock is qualified for sale under the applicable securities laws of the state or there is confirmation that an exemption, such as listing in certain recognized securities manuals, is available for secondary trading in the state. If we fail to register or qualify, or to obtain or verify an exemption for the secondary trading of, the common stock in any particular state, the common stock could not be offered or sold to, or purchased by, a resident of that state. In the event that a significant number of states refuse to permit secondary trading in our common stock, the liquidity for the common stock could be significantly impacted thus causing you to realize a loss on your investment.
The Company does not intend to seek registration or qualification of its shares of common stock the subject of this offering in any State or territory of the United States. Aside from a “secondary trading” exemption, other exemptions under state law and the laws of US territories may be available to purchasers of the shares of common stock sold in this offering,
Anti-takeover effects of certain provisions of Nevada state law hinder a potential takeover of us.
Though not now, we may be or in the future we may become subject to Nevada’s control share law. A corporation is subject to Nevada’s control share law if it has more than 200 stockholders, at least 100 of whom are stockholders of record and residents of Nevada, and it does business in Nevada or through an affiliated corporation. The law focuses on the acquisition of a “controlling interest” which means the ownership of outstanding voting shares sufficient, but for the control share law, to enable the acquiring person to exercise the following proportions of the voting power of the corporation in the election of directors:
(i) one-fifth or more but less than one-third, (ii) one-third or more but less than a majority, or (iii) a majority or more. The ability to exercise such voting power may be direct or indirect, as well as individual or in association with others.
The effect of the control share law is that the acquiring person, and those acting in association with it, obtains only such voting rights in the control shares as are conferred by a resolution of the stockholders of the corporation, approved at a special or annual meeting of stockholders. The control share law contemplates that voting rights will be considered only once by the other stockholders. Thus, there is no authority to strip voting rights from the control shares of an acquiring person once those rights have been approved. If the stockholders do not grant voting rights to the control shares acquired by an acquiring person, those shares do not become permanent non-voting shares. The acquiring person is free to sell its shares to others. If the buyers of those shares themselves do not acquire a controlling interest, their shares do not become governed by the control share law.
If control shares are accorded full voting rights and the acquiring person has acquired control shares with a majority or more of the voting power, any stockholder of record, other than an acquiring person, who has not voted in favor of approval of voting rights is entitled to demand fair value for such stockholder’s shares.
Nevada’s control share law may have the effect of discouraging takeovers of the corporation.
17
In addition to the control share law, Nevada has a business combination law which prohibits certain business combinations between Nevada corporations and “interested stockholders” for three years after the “interested stockholder” first becomes an “interested stockholder,” unless the corporation’s board of directors approves the combination in advance. For purposes of Nevada law, an “interested stockholder” is any person who is (i) the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of ten percent or more of the voting power of the outstanding voting shares of the corporation, or (ii) an affiliate or associate of the corporation and at any time within the three previous years was the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of ten percent or more of the voting power of the then outstanding shares of the corporation. The definition of the term “business combination” is sufficiently broad to cover virtually any kind of transaction that would allow a potential acquiror to use the corporation’s assets to finance the acquisition or otherwise to benefit its own interests rather than the interests of the corporation and its other stockholders.
The effect of Nevada’s business combination law is to potentially discourage parties interested in taking control of us from doing so if it cannot obtain the approval of our board of directors.
Because we do not intend to pay any cash dividends on our common stock, our stockholders will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they sell them.
We intend to retain any future earnings to finance the development and expansion of our business. We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Unless we pay dividends, our stockholders will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they sell them. Stockholders may never be able to sell shares when desired. Before you invest in our securities, you should be aware that there are various risks. You should consider carefully these risk factors, together with all of the other information included in this annual report before you decide to purchase our securities. If any of the following risks and uncertainties develop into actual events, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

JTI Group
On April 2, 2020, the Company entered into a Sale and Purchase Agreement, by and among the Company, JTI, a Hong Kong corporation, and the Vendor.
Under the terms and conditions of the Agreement (and supplemented by the Amendment, the Second Amendment and the Third Amendment), the Company offered, sold and will issue 4,118,182 shares of common stock in consideration for all the issued and outstanding shares in JTI. The effect of the issuance is that the Vendor now hold approximately 61.54% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company.
Mr. Roy Chan, the founder of JTI, and Chairman of the board of directors is the holder of 629,350 shares of common stock of the Company prior to the Transaction. The Company’s officers and directors, Mr. Roy Chan, Mr. Mark Yip and Mr. Brian Wong therefore, control an aggregate of 4,993,412 or 74.62% of the outstanding common stock of the Company, on a fully diluted basis, after the Transaction.
As a result of the agreement, JTI is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
The transaction with JTI was treated as a reverse acquisition, with JTI as the acquirer and the Company as the acquired party. As a result of the controlling financial interest of the former stockholders of JTI, for financial statement reporting purposes, the merger between the Company and JTI was treated as a reverse acquisition, with JTI deemed the accounting acquirer and the Company deemed the accounting acquiree under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with the Section 805-10-55 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The reverse acquisition is deemed a capital transaction in substance whereas the assets and liabilities of JTI. (the accounting acquirer) are carried forward to the Company (the legal acquirer and the reporting entity) at their carrying value before the combination and the equity structure (the number and type of equity interests issued) of JTI is being retroactively restated using the exchange ratio established in the Share Purchase Agreement to reflect the number of shares of the Company issued to effect the acquisition. The number of common shares issued and outstanding and the amount recognized as issued equity interests in the consolidated financial statements is determined by adding the number of common shares deemed issued and the issued equity interests of JTI immediately prior to the business combination to the unredeemed shares and the fair value of the Company determined in accordance with the guidance in ASC Section 805-40-55 applicable to business combinations, i.e. the equity structure (the number and type of equity interests issued) in the consolidated financial statements immediately post combination reflects the equity structure of the Company, including the equity interests the legal acquirer issued to effect the combination.
JTI has four wholly owned operating subsidiaries, namely, JTI Finance Limited, Concept We Mortgage Broker Limited, JTI Property Agency Limited and JTI Asset Management Limited. On May 17 2021, TEMIR CORP. incorporated Temir Logistics Industrial Park Limited, which is incorporated in Hong Kong and principally engaged in investment holding. The principal activities of JTI are provision of diversified financial services through its wholly owned subsidiaries incorporated in Hong Kong.
JF is a licensed money lender in Hong Kong, holding a money lender license no. 1662/2021 granted by the licensing court of Hong Kong.

Impact of COVID-19
The spread of the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) around the world has caused significant business disruption in year 2020. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 as a global pandemic, which continues to spread around the world. There is significant uncertainty around the breadth and duration of business disruptions related to COVID-19, as well as its impact on the Hong Kong’s and global economy. While it is difficult to estimate the financial impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s operations, management believes that COVID-19 could have a material impact on its financial results in years 2021 and 2022.

Revenue and cost of revenue
During the year ended August 31, 2021, the Company generated revenue of $219,702 compared to $26,631 for the year ended August 31, 2020. Cost of revenue was $205,923 for the year ended August 31, 2021 compared to $2,371 for the year ended August 31, 2020. Our agency revenues were $3,385 the year ended August 31, 2021 while such revenue was $1,218 in 2020. On the other hand, mortgage referral fee income was $216,317 in the year ended August 31, 2021. We earned $25,413 mortgage referral fee in last year. Included in cost of revenue were referral fees of $1,523 and nil incurred in relation to our property agency business, while $204,400 and $2,371 incurred in relation to our mortgage referral services in 2021 and 2020 respectively.

21
Going concern
Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
As of August 31, 2021, we have suffered recurring losses from operations, and record an accumulated deficit and a working capital deficit of $962,330 and $511,049, respectively. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The continuation of our company as a going concern is dependent upon improving our profitability and the continuing financial support from our shareholders or other debt or capital sources. Management believes the existing shareholders or external financing will provide the additional cash to meet our obligations as they become due.
The continuation of our company as a going concern is dependent upon improving its profitability and the continuing financial support from our shareholders or other debt or capital sources. Management believes the existing shareholders or external financing will provide the additional cash to meet our obligations as they become due. No assurance can be given that any future financing, if needed, will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to us. Even if we are able to obtain additional financing, if needed, it may contain undue restrictions on our operations, in the case of debt financing, or cause substantial dilution for our stock holders, in the case of equity financing.
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 as a global pandemic, which continues to spread around the world. There is significant uncertainty around the breadth and duration of business disruptions related to COVID-19, as well as its impact on the Hong Kong’s and global economy. While it is difficult to estimate the financial impact of COVID-19 on our operations, management believes that COVID-19 could have a material impact on our financial results at this time.
Our consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets and liabilities that may result in our company not being able to continue as a going concern.

We believe that our current cash and financing from our existing stockholders are adequate to support operations for at least the next 12 months. We may, however, in the future, require additional cash resources due to changed business conditions, implementation of our strategy to expand our business or other investments or acquisitions we may decide to pursue. If our own financial resources are insufficient to satisfy our capital requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain additional credit facilities. The sale of additional equity securities could result in dilution to our stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could require us to agree to operating and financial covenants that would restrict our operations. Financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Any failure by us to raise additional funds on terms favorable to us, or at all, could limit our ability to expand our business operations and could harm our overall business prospects.
Capital Expenditures
We did not incur any capital expenditures in the periods presented.
Inflation
Inflation and changing prices have not had a material effect on our business and we do not expect that inflation or changing prices will materially affect our business in the foreseeable future. However, our management will closely monitor price changes in our industry and continually maintain effective cost control in operations.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to an investor in our securities.
Seasonality
Our operating results and operating cash flows historically have not been subject to significant seasonal variations. This pattern may change, however, as a result of new market opportunities or new product introductions.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
We regularly evaluate the accounting policies and estimates that we use to make budgetary and financial statement assumptions. A complete summary of these policies is included in the notes to our financial statements. In general, management’s estimates are based on historical experience, on information from third party professionals, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management. The discussion of our critical accounting policies contained in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” is incorporated herein by reference.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Temir Corp.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Temir Corp. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of August 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2021, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of August 31, 2021 and 2020, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Consideration of the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations, and recorded an accumulated deficit as of August 31, 2021, and the Company currently has net working capital deficit. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. These 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 audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error 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 financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (i) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters 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 matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Basis of Presentation and Going Concern – Disclosure
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations, and recorded an accumulated deficit as of August 31, 2021, and the Company currently has net working capital deficit. Currently management’s forecasts and related assumptions illustrate their ability to meet the obligations through management of expenditures and, if necessary, obtaining additional debt financing, loans from existing directors and shareholders and private placements of capital stock for additional funding to meet its operating needs. Should there be constraints on the ability to access such financing, the Company can manage cash outflows to meet the obligations through reductions in capital expenditures and other operating expenditures.
We identified management’s assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern as a critical audit matter. Management made judgments to conclude that it is probable that the Company’s plans will be effectively implemented and will provide the necessary cash flows to fund the Company’s obligations as they become due. Specifically, the judgments with the highest degree of impact and subjectivity in determining it is probable that the Company’s plans will be effectively implemented included its ability to reduce capital expenditures and other operating expenditures, its ability to access funding from the capital market and its ability to obtaining loans from existing directors and shareholders. Auditing the judgments made by management required a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity and effort in performing procedures and evaluating the relevant audit evidence.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included the following, among others: (i) evaluating the probability that the Company will be able to access funding from the capital market; (ii) evaluating the probability that the Company will be able to reduce capital expenditures and other operating expenditures if required (iii) evaluating the probability that the Company will be able to obtain the loan from existing directors and shareholders and (iv) assessing the adequacy of the Company’s going concern disclosures included in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements.

1. | TITLE, ORGANIZATION AND REORGANIZATION |
TEMIR CORP. (“Temir” or the “Company”) is a corporation established under the corporation laws in the State of Nevada on May 19, 2016. The Company commenced operations in tourism. Temir Corp. was a travel agency that organized individual and group tours in Kyrgyzstan, such as cultural, recreational, sport, business, ecotours and other travel tours. The company’s principal executive offices are located at 54 Frukovaya Street, Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan 720027. On July 15, 2019, the Company’s principal office relocated to Room 1204-06, 12/F, 69 Jervois Street, Sheung Wan, Hong Kong. On January 15, 2020, the Company’s principal office has been relocated to Suite 1802-03, 18/F, Strand 50, 50 Bonham Strand, Sheung Wan, Hong Kong. The management of Temir Corp is planning to restructure the Company’s business from travel agency to a Fintech Company with major business focusing on financials services and using the internet, mobile devices, software technology or cloud services to perform or connect with financial services.
On April 2, 2020, the Company as purchaser and Ace Vantage Investments Limited (equally held by Mr. Roy Kong Hoi Chan (an executive director and president of the Company, “Mr. Roy Chan”) and his father) as vendor (the “Vendor”) entered into a sale and purchase agreement (the “Agreement”) with respect to the acquisition (the “Transaction”) of the entire issued share capital of JTI Financial Services Group Limited (“JTI”) for a consideration of $4,686,272, which would be satisfied by the allotment and issuance of the shares of the Company..
Under the terms and conditions of the Agreement, the Company offered, sold and issued 1,874,508 shares of common stock of the Company as consideration shares (the “Consideration Shares”) at the issue price of $2.5 per Consideration Share for the acquisition of all the issued share capital of JTI.
On June 30, 2020, pursuant to the amendment to the Agreement, the parties agreed to adjust (i) the consideration of the Transaction from $4,686,272 to $10,295,455; and (ii) the number of Consideration Shares from 1,874,508 shares to 4,118,182 Consideration Shares. The effect of the issuance is that the Vendor will hold approximately 61.54% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company.
Mr. Roy Chan, the founder of JTI, an executive director and president of the Company, is the holder of 629,350 shares of common stock of the Company prior to the Transaction.
After the issuance of 4,118,182 Consideration Shares, Vendor holds 61.54% issued and outstanding shares of Temir and collectively with Mr. Roy Chan and Mr. Chan Hip Fong (father of Mr Roy Chan) together hold 70.94% issued and outstanding shares of Temir.
Upon completion of the Transactions on July 6, 2020, JTI became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Temir. For financial accounting purposes, the share exchange was accounted for as a reverse acquisition by JTI, and resulted in a recapitalization, with JTI being the accounting acquirer and Temir as the acquired entity.
JTI was incorporated in Hong Kong, China on February 8, 2019.
The Company through its subsidiaries provide diversified financial services. JTI has four operating subsidiaries and one investment subsidiary, namely, JTI Finance Limited (“JF”), Concept We Mortgage Broker Limited (“CW”), JTI Property Agency Limited (“JP”) and JTI Asset Management Limited (“JA”) and Temir Logistics Industrial Park Limited (“Temir Logistics’) is an investment holding company.
On May 20, 2021, the Company, Hainan Qicheng Asset Management Joint Stock Company (“Hainan”) and Temir Logistics entered into a sale and purchase agreement (“SPA”), pursuant to which the Company shall issue 930,233 shares of the Company at a price of $21.5 per share, valued at $20,000,000 or in exchange of 10% shareholding in Bac Giang International Logistics Co., Ltd. Bac Giang is a company incorporated in the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, the principal business of which is to build and run a modern international logistics park in Bac Giang Province, Vietnam. 930,233 shares of the Company were issued to the nominee of Hainan on June 8, 2021.

The formation of JTI Financial Services Group Limited was completed in March 2019. Upon incorporation, JTI issued 1 ordinary share at HK$1 to Mr. Roy Kong Hoi Chan. On March 20, 2019, JTI issued 9,999,999 shares of the Company to Ace Vantage Investments Limited (“Ace Vantage”) at a total cash consideration of HK$3,509,999.65 ($450,000), resulting a total share capital of 10,000,000 shares at HK$3,510,000.65 ($450,000). Ace Vantage was 50% owned by Mr. Roy Kong Hoi Chan and 50% owned by Mr. Chan Hip Fong, father of Mr. Roy Kong Hoi Chan. The Company is owned and controlled by the same control group as JF, CW, JP and JA. On March 29, 2019, the beneficial shareholders of JF, CW, JP and JA exchanged 100% of their shareholding of JF, CW, JP and JA for the shares of the Company (the “Share Exchange”). The Share Exchange has been accounted for as a common control transaction. Other than its 100% ownership of JF, CW, JP and JA, JTI has no significant assets and no other business operations.
JF was incorporated in Hong Kong, China on December 29, 2011 as a company with limited liability. Upon incorporation, JF issued 1 ordinary share to Ace Vantage at HK$1. On March 29, 2019, Ace Vantage transferred 100% of their shareholding of JF to JTI.
CW was incorporated in Hong Kong, China on December 18, 2013 as a company with limited liability. Upon incorporation, CW issued 10,000 ordinary shares to Century Crown Investment Limited at HK$1 each. Century Crown Investment Limited was incorporated in Hong Kong, China and 100% held by Ace Vantage. On March 29, 2019, Century Crown Investment Limited transferred 100% of their shareholding of CW to JTI.
JP was incorporated in Hong Kong, China on December 21, 2011 as a company with limited liability. Upon incorporation, JP issued 1 ordinary share to Ace Vantage at HK$1. On March 29, 2019, Ace Vantage transferred 100% of their shareholding of JP to JTI.
JA was incorporated in Hong Kong, China on May 2, 2017 as a company with limited liability. Upon incorporation, JA issued 1 ordinary share to Ace Vantage at HK$1. On March 29, 2019, Ace Vantage transferred 100% of their shareholding of JA to JTI
The acquisitions of JF, CW, JP and JA by JTI have been accounted for as common control transactions in a manner similar to a pooling of interests and there was no recognition of any goodwill or excess of the acquirers’ interest in the net fair value of the acquirees’ identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over cost at the time of the common control combinations. Therefore, these transactions were recorded at historical cost with a reclassification of equity from retained profits to additional paid in capital to reflect the deemed value of consideration given in the local jurisdiction and the capital structure of JF, CW, JP and JA. The consolidated financial statements of the Company include all of the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, JF, CW, JP and JA for all periods presented. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the consolidation.

2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared as if the existing corporate structure had been in existence throughout the periods presented and as if the reorganization had occurred as of the beginning of the earliest period presented. The Company has adopted August 31 as its fiscal year end.
Going concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
As of August 31, 2021, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations, and records an accumulated deficit and a working capital deficit of $962,330 and $511,049, respectively. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon improving its profitability and the continuing financial support from its shareholders or other debt or capital sources. Management believes the existing shareholders or external financing will provide the additional cash to meet the Company’s obligations as they become due.
The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon improving its profitability and the continuing financial support from its shareholders or other debt or capital sources. Management believes the existing shareholders or external financing will provide the additional cash to meet the Company’s obligations as they become due. No assurance can be given that any future financing, if needed, will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, if needed, it may contain undue restrictions on its operations, in the case of debt financing, or cause substantial dilution for its stock holders, in the case of equity financing.
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 as a global pandemic, which continues to spread around the world. There is significant uncertainty around the breadth and duration of business disruptions related to COVID-19, as well as its impact on the Hong Kong’s and global economy. While it is difficult to estimate the financial impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s operations, management believes that COVID-19 could have a material impact on its financial results at this time, both current financial year and next financial year.
These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets and liabilities that may result in the Company not being able to continue as a going concern.
Use of estimates
Preparing financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions affecting the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The more significant areas requiring the use of management’s estimates and assumptions relate to allowance for doubtful accounts, impairment of long-lived assets and valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Accordingly, actual results may differ significantly from these estimates. In addition, different assumptions or circumstances could reasonably be expected to yield different results.

Cash and cash equivalents
For purposes of the cash flow statements, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash includes cash on hand and demand deposits in accounts maintained with financial institutions within the Hong Kong.
Loans receivable
Loans receivable primarily represent loan amounts due from customers. Loans receivable are recorded at unpaid principal balances net of provision that reflects the Company’s best estimate of the amounts that will not be collected. The loans receivable portfolio consists of business and personal loans. As of August 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company has nil loans receivable.
Provision for loan losses
The provision for loan losses is increased by charges to income and decreased by charge offs (net of recoveries). Recoveries represent subsequent collection of amounts previously charged-off. The increase in provision for loan losses is the netting effect of “reversal” and “provision” for both business and personal loans. If the ending balance of the provision for loan losses after any charge offs (net of recoveries) is less than the beginning balance, it will be recorded as a “reversal” if it is larger, it will be recorded as a “provision” in the provision for loan loss. The netting amount of the “reversal” and the “provision” is presented in the statements of operations and comprehensive income.
The provision consists of specific and general components. The specific component consists of the amount of impairment related to loans that have been evaluated on an individual basis, and the general component consists of the amount of impairment related to loans that have been evaluated on a collective basis. Loans are considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Loans for which the terms have been modified resulting in a concession, and for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, are considered troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”).
The Company recognizes a charge-off when management determines that full repayment of a loan is not probable. The primary factor in making that determination is the potential outcome of a lawsuit against the delinquent debtor. The Company will recognize a charge-off when the Company loses contact with the delinquent borrower for more than nine months or when the court rules against the Company to seize the collateral asset of the delinquent debt from either the guarantor or borrower. In addition, when the recoverability of the delinquent debt is highly unlikely, the senior management team will go through a stringent procedure to approve a charge-off. Management estimates the provision balance required using past loan loss experience, the nature and volume of the portfolio, information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values, economic conditions, and other factors. Allocations of the provision may be made for specific loans, but the entire provision is available for any loan that, in management’s judgment, should be charged-off.
The provision for loan losses is maintained at a level believed to be reasonable by management to absorb probable losses inherent in the portfolio as of each balance sheet date. The provision is based on factors such as the size and current risk characteristics of the portfolio, an assessment of individual loans and actual loss, delinquency, and/or risk rating record within the portfolio (Note 4). The Company evaluates its provision for loan losses on a quarterly basis or more often as necessary.

Interest and fee receivables
Interest and fee receivables are accrued and credited to income as earned but not received. The Company determines a loan past due status by the number of days that have elapsed since a borrower has failed to make a contractual interest or principal payment. Accrual of interest is generally discontinued when either (i) reasonable doubt exists as to the full, timely collection of interest or principal or (ii) when a loan interest or principal becomes past due by more than 90 days (The further extension of loan past due status is subject to management final approval and on case by case basis). Additionally, any previously accrued but uncollected interest is reversed. Subsequent recognition of income occurs only to the extent payment is received, subject to management’s assessment of the collectability of the remaining interest and principal. Loans are generally restored to an accrual status when it is no longer delinquent and collectability of interest and principal is no longer in doubt and past due interest is recognized at that time.
Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses. The Company reviews the accounts receivable on a periodic basis and makes general and specific allowance when there is doubt as to the collectability of individual balances. In evaluating the collectability of individual receivable balance, the Company considers many factors, including the age of the balance, a customer’s historical payment history, its current credit-worthiness and current economic trends. Accounts are written off after exhaustive efforts at collection. The Company only grants credit terms to established customers who are deemed to be financially responsible. Credit periods to customers are within 90 days after customers received the purchased services. As of August 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company has reviewed of its outstanding balances, and no allowance for doubtful accounts has been made.
Impairment of long-lived assets
The Company evaluates long lived assets for impairment at least annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable from its estimated future cash flows. Based on the existence of one or more indicators of impairment, the Company measures any impairment of long-lived assets by comparing the asset’s estimated fair value with its carrying value, based on cash flow methodology. If the net book value of the asset exceeds the related undiscounted cash flows, the asset is considered impaired and an impairment loss equal to an amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset is recognized. As of August 31, 2021 and 2020, management believes there was no impairment of long-lived assets.
Revenue recognition
Pursuant to the guidance of ASC Topic 606, revenue is recognized when control of promised goods or services is transferred to the Company’s customers in an amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The Company follows the five steps approach for revenue recognition under Topic 606: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation.
The following table presents the Company’s revenues disaggregated by revenue sources.

Primary sources of the Company’s revenues are as follows:
(a) | Money lending |
Interest on loan receivables is accrued monthly in accordance with their contractual terms and recorded in accrued interest receivable. The Company does not charge prepayment penalties. Additionally, any previously accrued but uncollected interest is reversed and accrual is discontinued, when either (i) reasonable doubt exists as to the full, timely collection of interest or principal or (ii) when a loan becomes past due by more than 90 days.
(b) | Property agency services |
The Company’s entitlement to agency fee income includes an element of consideration that is variable or contingent on the outcome of future events. Actual agency fee income to be received is dependent upon, among others, the completion of transaction between buyers and sellers, price concession based on customary industry practice and payment plans chosen by the buyers.
The Company is required to estimate the amount of consideration to which it will be entitled from the provision of property agency services. The estimated amount of variable consideration will be included in the transaction price only to the extent that it is highly probable taking into consideration of the risk of fallen through and price concession based on customary industry practice, that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved.
(c) | Mortgage referral services |
Referral fee is recognized as referral services are provided to the customer.
The Company records a contract asset when it has a right to payment from a customer that is conditioned on events other than the passage of time. The Company also records a contract liability when customers prepay but the Company has not yet satisfied its performance obligation. For all the periods presented, the Company did not have any significant incremental costs of obtaining contracts with customers incurred and/or costs incurred in fulfilling contracts with customers within the scope of ASC Topic 606, that shall be recognized as an asset and amortized to expenses in a pattern that matches the timing of the revenue recognition of the related contract. The Company did not have any material unsatisfied performance obligations, contract assets or liabilities as of August 31, 2021 and 2020. Revenue is recognized when the performance obligation is fulfilled and the payment from customers is not contingent on a future event.
During all the periods presented, all of the Company’s revenues are derived in Hong Kong.

Leases
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease or contains a lease at inception. Operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the discount rate for the lease at the commencement date. As the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable for the operating lease, the Company generally uses an incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the commencement date to determine the present value of future lease payments. Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU assets”) assets represent the Company’s right to control the use of an identified asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets are generally recognized based on the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance to combine the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component for operating leases associated with the Company’s office space lease, and to keep leases with an initial term of 12 months or less off the balance sheet and recognize the associated lease payments in the consolidated statements of income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the accounting standard issued by the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method as required by this accounting standard, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of temporary differences by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities. The charge for taxation is based on the results for the reporting period as adjusted for items which are non-assessable or disallowed. It is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. The effect on deferred income taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recognized if it is more likely than not that some portion, or all of, a deferred tax asset will not be realized.
Foreign currency translation
The Company’s reporting currency is the United States dollars (“U.S. dollars”). The financial records of the Company and its subsidiaries in Hong Kong are maintained in Hong Kong dollars (“HKD”), which is the functional currency of these entities.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the applicable functional currencies are translated into the functional currencies at the prevailing rates of exchange at the balance sheet date. Nonmonetary assets and liabilities are remeasured into the applicable functional currencies at historical exchange rates. Transactions in currencies other than the applicable functional currencies during the year are converted into the functional currencies at the applicable rates of exchange prevailing at the transaction dates. Transaction gains and losses are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.
Assets and liabilities are translated into the reporting currency at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Equity accounts are translated at historical exchange rates. Revenues, expenses, gain and loss are translated using the average rate of exchange in effect during the reporting period. Translation adjustments are reported and shown as a separate component of other comprehensive income in the consolidated statements of changes in equity and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
During the periods presented, HKD is pegged to the U.S. dollar within a narrow range.
Fair value of financial instruments
The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments (excluding non-current bank borrowings and obligation under finance lease): cash, short-term bank borrowings, other loan, balances with a director and holding company and other payables approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments.
Management believes, based on the current market prices or interest rates for similar debt instruments, the fair value of the Company’s non-current bank borrowings and obligation under finance lease approximates the carrying amount.

The Company also follows the guidance of the ASC Topic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820-10”), with respect to financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value. ASC 820-10 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1 : Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; | |
Level 2 : Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and | |
Level 3 : Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions |
Net loss per share
The Company calculates net income/ (loss) per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share.” Basic income/ (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income/(loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share is computed similar to basic income/ (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common stock equivalents had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. The following table presents a reconciliation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share:

Recent accounting pronouncements
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13 Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which eliminates, adds, and modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements under ASC 820. This ASU is to be applied on a prospective basis for certain modified or new disclosure requirements, and all other amendments in the standard are to be applied on a retrospective basis. The new standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The new standard is effective for the Company on September 1, 2020 and the new standard did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Adopted
In May 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2019-05, which is an update to ASU Update No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which introduced the expected credit losses methodology for the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost basis, replacing the previous incurred loss methodology. The amendments in Update 2016-13 added Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, and made several consequential amendments to the Codification. Update 2016-13 also modified the accounting for available-for-sale debt securities, which must be individually assessed for credit losses when fair value is less than the amortized cost basis, in accordance with Subtopic 326-30, Financial Instruments— Credit Losses—Available-for-Sale Debt Securities. The amendments in this ASU address those stakeholders’ concerns by providing an option to irrevocably elect the fair value option for certain financial assets previously measured at amortized cost basis. For those entities, the targeted transition relief will increase comparability of financial statement information by providing an option to align measurement methodologies for similar financial assets. Furthermore, the targeted transition relief also may reduce the costs for some entities to comply with the amendments in Update 2016-13 while still providing financial statement users with decision-useful information. ASU 2019-05 is effective for “smaller reporting companies” for fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12: Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (Topic 740), which removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and improves consistent application of and simplifies GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect of adopting this new accounting guidance but does not expect adoption will have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) (“ASU 2020-04”). ASU 2020-04 contains practical expedients for reference rate reform related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts. The guidance in ASU 2020-04 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the guidance and may apply the elections as applicable as changes in the market occur.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 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 (“ASU 2020-06”), which simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. This ASU (1) simplifies the accounting for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock by removing the existing guidance in ASC 470-20, Debt: Debt with Conversion and Other Options, that requires entities to account for beneficial conversion features and cash conversion features in equity, separately from the host convertible debt or preferred stock; (2) revises the scope exception from derivative accounting in ASC 815-40 for freestanding financial instruments and embedded features that are both indexed to the issuer’s own stock and classified in stockholders’ equity, by removing certain criteria required for equity classification; and (3) revises the guidance in ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, to require entities to calculate diluted earnings per share (EPS) for convertible instruments by using the if-converted method. In addition, entities must presume share settlement for purposes of calculating diluted EPS when an instrument may be settled in cash or shares.
For SEC filers, excluding smaller reporting companies, ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. For all other entities, ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities should adopt the guidance as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption and cannot adopt the guidance in an interim reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2020-06 may have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

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 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.
Except for the above-mentioned pronouncements, there are no new recent issued accounting standards that will have material impact on the consolidated financial position, statements of operations and cash flows.

11. | SIGNIFICANT RISKS |
Credit risk
Credit risk is one of the most significant risks for the Company’s business and arise principally in lending activities.
Credit risk is controlled by the application of credit approvals, limits and monitoring procedures. The Company manages credit risk through in-house research and analysis of the economy primarily in Hong Kong and the underlying obligors and transaction structures. To minimize credit risk, the Company requires collateral in the form of rights to cash, securities or property and equipment.
The Company conducts credit evaluations of customers and generally does not require collateral or other security from its customers.
Liquidity risk
The Company is also exposed to liquidity risk which is risk that it is unable to provide sufficient capital resources and liquidity to meet its commitments and business needs. Liquidity risk is controlled by the application of financial position analysis and monitoring procedures. When necessary, the Company will turn to other financial institutions and the owners to obtain short-term funding to meet the liquidity shortage.
Concentration risk
For all the periods presented, all of the Company’s assets were located in Hong Kong.
One customer accounted for all of the Company’s income from property agency services for the year ended August 31, 2021 and 2020.
Four customers accounted for 100% (47%, 22%, 20% and 11%) of the Company’s income from mortgage referral services for the year ended August 31, 2021. Four customers accounted for all (40%, 30%, 20% and 10%) of the Company’s income from mortgage referral services for the year ended August 31, 2020.
Two customers accounted for 100% (57% and 43%) of the Company’s accounts receivable as of August 31, 2021. There was no accounts receivable as of August 31, 2020.
Two suppliers accounted for 95% (70% and 25%) of the Company’s cost of revenue for the year ended August 31, 2021. One supplier accounted for 100% of the Company’s cost of revenue for the year ended August 31, 2020.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
On January 14, 2020, the Board of directors of the Company decided to terminate the appointment of Michael Gillespie & Associates, PLLC as the auditor of the Company and appointed Centurion ZD CPA & Co as our independent registered public accounting firm, effective immediately.
The disclosure required under this section was previously reported as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, on a current report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 15, 2020.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed 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 the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating and implementing possible controls and procedures.
Management conducted its evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and our Interim Chief Financial Officer. Based upon, and as of the date of this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of August 31, 2021 due to the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, which are described below.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of August 31, 2021, using the criteria established in “Internal Control - Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) (2013 framework).
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
25
Based on our assessment, as a result of the material weaknesses described below, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer determined that, as of August 31, 2021, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective because of the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting has been identified.
1. | We do not have an Audit Committee – While not being legally obligated to have an audit committee, it is the management’s view that such a committee, including a financial expert member, is of the utmost importance for entity-level control over the Company’s financial statement. Currently, the Board of Directors acts in the capacity of the Audit Committee. |
2. | We currently lack sufficient accounting personnel with the appropriate level of knowledge, experience and training in U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting requirements. |
3. | We did not maintain appropriate cash controls – As of August 31, 2021, the Company had not maintained sufficient internal controls over financial reporting for the cash process, including failure to segregate cash handling and accounting functions. However, the Company maintained controls on dual signature on the Company’s bank accounts. However, the effects of poor cash controls were mitigated in part by the fact that the Company had limited transactions in their bank accounts. | |
4. | We did not implement appropriate information technology controls – As of August 31, 2021, the Company was retaining copies of all financial data and material agreements; however there is no formal procedure or evidence of normal backup of the Company’s data or off-site storage of the data in the event of theft, misplacement, or loss due to unmitigated factors. |
Notwithstanding these material weaknesses, however, management has concluded that the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP.
Continuing Remediation Efforts to address deficiencies in Company’s Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We plan to take steps to remediate these material weaknesses as soon as practicable by implementing a plan to improve our internal control over financial reporting including, but not limited to:
- | Create a position to segregate duties consistent with control objectives and increase our personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function when funds are available to us. |
- | Prepare written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting to establish a formal process to close our books monthly on an accrual basis and account for all transactions, including equity and debt transactions, in a timely manner. |
- | Add staff members to our management team to make sure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed and submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required and the staff members will have segregated responsibilities with regard to these responsibilities. |
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Except for the matters described above, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the fourth quarter of our fiscal year ended August 31, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our 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. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to the rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
