Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “expects,” “plans,” “will,” “forecasts,” “projects,” “intends,” “estimates,” and other words of similar meaning. One can identify them by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. These statements are likely to address our growth strategy, financial results and product and development programs. One must carefully consider any such statement and should understand that many factors could cause actual results to differ from our forward looking statements. These factors may include inaccurate assumptions and a broad variety of other risks and uncertainties, including some that are known and some that are not. No forward looking statement can be guaranteed and actual future results may vary materially.
These risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control, include, and are not limited to:
● | our growth strategies; |
● | our anticipated future operation and profitability; |
● | our future financing capabilities and anticipated need for working capital; |
● | the anticipated trends in our industry; |
● | acquisitions of other companies or assets that we might undertake in the future; |
● | our operations in China and the regulatory, economic and political conditions in China; and |
● | current and future competition. |
In addition, factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, and in particular, the risks discussed under the caption “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” as well as those discussed in other documents we file with the SEC. We undertake no obligation to revise or publicly release the results of any revision to these forward-looking statements, except as required by law. Given these risks and uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.

History of the Company
Wave Sync Corp. (the “Company”), formerly known as China Bio-Energy Corp., formerly known as China INSOnline Corp., was initially incorporated on December 23, 1988 as Lifequest Medical, Inc. (“DEXT”) as a Delaware corporation. On December 6, 2010, the Company entered into an Amendment (the “Amendment”) to a certain share exchange agreement dated November 12, 2010 with Ding Neng Holdings, a British Virgin Islands company (“Ding Neng Holdings”). This share exchange agreement and the Amendment provides for an acquisition transaction in which the Company, through the issuance of 25,875,000 shares of its common stock, par value $0.001, representing 90% of the issued and outstanding common stock immediately following the closing of this acquisition, acquired 100% of Ding Neng Holdings.
The closing of this acquisition took place on February 10, 2011, on which date, pursuant to the terms of the share exchange agreement as amended, the Company acquired all of the outstanding equity securities of Ding Neng Holdings from the shareholders of Ding Neng Holdings; and the shareholders of Ding Neng Holdings transferred and contributed all of their issued and outstanding shares of Ding Neng Holdings to the Company. Accordingly, on the closing of the acquisition, the Company, via Ding Neng Holdings, held 100% of Ding Neng Bio-technology Co., Limited, a Hong Kong Company, which held 100% of Zhangzhou Fuhua Biomass Energy Technology Co., Ltd., a wholly-foreign owned enterprise in China (“Fuhua Biomass”), which, via a series of variable interest entity (or VIE) arrangements, controlled the operating company Fujian Zhangzhou Ding Neng Bio-technology Co., Ltd. (“Ding Neng Bio-tech”). In connection of this share exchange, the Company changed its fiscal year end from June 30 to December 31.
In or about early October 2011, Mr. Nie Xinfeng, the Company’s former chairman of the Board of Directors (the “Board”), took possession of, among other things, the company seal, financial seal, and original books and records of Ding Neng Bio-tech. Since then, the Company was prevented from obtaining and did not have access to the financial information of Ding Neng Bio-tech.
The Company and the previous management believed that from late 2011 to 2014, due to change in law, unfavorable market conditions, and lack of effective management, the business of Ding Neng Bio-tech deteriorated significantly and eventually the Company defaulted on various loan obligations. The Company also believes that Ding Neng Bio-tech guaranteed some of Mr. Nie’s personal debts. From 2011 to 2014, multiple legal proceedings were brought against Ding Neng Bio-tech by creditors, service vendors and former employees of the Company and against Mr. Nie by his creditors. As a result, substantially all of Ding Neng Bio-tech’s assets were seized or disposed of by Ding Neng Bio-tech’s or Mr. Nie’s creditors. Eventually, Ding Neng Bio-tech completely ceased its operations.
On June 4, 2015, Fuhua Biomass filed a civil action in Haicang District People’s Court of Xiamen, Fujian, PRC (the “Court”) against Ding Neng Bio-tech, alleging that the purposes of those certain Consulting Service Agreement, Operating Agreement, Pledge and Security Agreement, Option Agreement, and Voting Rights Proxy Agreement (the “VIE Agreements”) entered into by Fuhua Biomass and Ding Neng Bio-tech on October 28, 2010 had been frustrated, and that these VIE Agreements should be terminated. Fuhua Biomass alleged that Ding Neng Bio-tech did not make any payment of service fees to Fuhua Biomass, and that Ding Neng Bio-tech failed to perfect the security interest in the pledged stock. On July 14, 2015, this case was settled via in-court mediation directed by the Court. As a result, Fuhua Biomass and Ding Neng Bio-tech entered into binding settlement (i) to terminate the VIE Agreements, (ii) to acknowledge that Fuhua Biomass and Ding Neng Bio-tech did not have any other disputes over this case, and (iii) that the litigation fee in the amount of RMB10,000 (approximately $1,610.5) would be borne by Ding Neng Bio-tech.
Given that the Company was unable to exercise effective control over Ding Neng Bio-tech or gain access to Ding Neng Bio-tech’s financial information since 2011, and that the VIE Agreements were terminated, the Company deconsolidated Ding Neng Bio-tech’s financial results.
1
During a review of the Company’s financial statements by its auditor, the auditor examined the share register and all the debts provided to or by the Company, and instruments of transfer provided by the Secretary of the Company. There was no evidence that ownership of Ding Neng Holdings was ever registered to be transferred and held by the Company. The Company also discovered that Ding Neng Holdings was delinquent and defunct. Accordingly, it was unable to determine whether the Company was registered as the sole shareholder of Ding Neng Holdings pursuant to the share exchange agreement dated November 12, 2010, as amended on December 6, 2010. As a result, the Company excluded the accounts of Ding Neng Holdings and its subsidiaries in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes as contained herein. The Company has written off all investments made in Ding Neng Holdings as loss on investment in subsidiary.
Share Purchase Agreement with EGOOS Mobile Technology Co. Ltd.
On October 19, 2015, the Registrant entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Share Purchase Agreement”) with EGOOS Mobile Technology Company Limited, a British Virgin Islands holding company (“EGOOS BVI”), which owns 100% of EGOOS Mobile Technology Company Limited, a Hong Kong company (“EGOOS HK”), which owns 100% of Move the Purchase Consulting Management (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. (“WOFE” or “Yigou”), a foreign investment enterprise organized under the laws of the PRC, and which has, through various contractual agreements, management control and the rights to the profits of Guangzhou Yuzhi Information Technology Co., Ltd., a corporation organized under the laws of the PRC as a variable interest entity(“Guangzhou Yuzhi”), which owns 100% of Shenzhen Qianhai Exce-card Technology Co., Ltd., a Chinese corporation (“Shenzhen Exce-card”), which owns 100% of Guangzhou Rongsheng Information Technology Co., Ltd., a Chinese corporation (“Guangzhou Rongsheng”, together with Guangzhou Yuzhi and Shenzhen Exce-card, is collectively referred to herein as “Guangzhou Yuzhi and its Subsidiaries”), and the sole shareholder of EGOOS BVI. Guangzhou Yuzhi and its Subsidiaries engage in research, development, marketing and distribution of inlays/audio chips for audio bank card products.
The Share Purchase Agreement provided for an acquisition transaction (the “Acquisition”) in which the Registrant, through the issuance of a convertible note in the principal sum of Fifteen Million U.S. Dollars ($15,000,000) to EGOOS BVI’s sole shareholder, acquired 100% of EGOOS BVI.
The closing of the Acquisition (the “Closing”) took place on October 19, 2015 (the “Closing Date”). On the Closing Date, pursuant to the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement, the Registrant acquired all of the outstanding equity securities of EGOOS BVI from the sole shareholder of EGOOS BVI; and the shareholder of EGOOS BVI transferred and contributed all of his issued and outstanding shares of EGOOS BVI to the Registrant. In exchange, the Registrant issued to the sole shareholder of EGOOS BVI a convertible note, which was subsequently converted into an aggregate of 15,000,000 post-Reverse Split (as defined below) Common Shares of the Registrant. There is no material relationship between the sole shareholder of EGOOS BVI and/or EGOOS BVI, on one hand, and the Company and its affiliates or associates, on the other hand. Upon conversion of the note (the “Conversion”), the then existing shareholders of the Registrant collectively own an aggregate of 24.7% of the post-Acquisition entity.
On August 5, 2015, Yigou entered into an Exclusive Service Agreement which entitled Yigou to receive substantially all of the economic benefits of Guangzhou Yuzhi and its Subsidiaries in consideration of services provided by Yigou to Guangzhou Yuzhi and its Subsidiaries. In addition, Yigou entered into certain agreements with each of Wenbin Yang, Ping Li, (collectively, the “Guangzhou Yuzhi shareholders”), as well as Guangzhou Yuzhi and its Subsidiaries, including (i) a Call Option Agreement allowing Yigou to acquire the shares of Guangzhou Yuzhi as permitted by PRC laws, (ii) a Voting Rights Proxy Agreement that provided Yigou with the voting rights of the Guangzhou Yuzhi shareholders and those of Guangzhou Yuzhi, and (iii) an Equity Pledge Agreement that pledged the shares in Guangzhou Yuzhi and its Subsidiaries to Yigou. This VIE structure provides Yigou, a wholly-owned subsidiary of EGOOS HK, with control over the operations and benefits of Guangzhou Yuzhi and its Subsidiaries without having a direct equity ownership in Guangzhou Yuzhi and its Subsidiaries (EGOOS BVI, EGOOS HK, Guangzhou Yuzhi, Shenzhen Exce-card, Guangzhou Rongsheng and Yigou are collectively referred to herein as the “Group”).

EGOOS BVI’s organizational structure was crafted to abide by the laws of the PRC and maintain tax benefits as well as internal organizational efficiencies. EGOOS BVI’s post–Acquisition organization structure is summarized below:
Reverse Stock Split
On October 13, 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors and stockholders collectively holding approximately 70.5% of the Company’s outstanding common stock executed a joint written consent approving a reverse stock split at a ratio of one-for-twenty (the “Reverse Split”). A Certificate of Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation effecting the Reverse Split was filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware on December 1, 2015.
Business Overview
EGOOS BVI, a British Virgin Islands business company, acts as a holding company and indirectly controls Guangzhou Yuzhi (a variable interest entity in China) and its Subsidiaries. EGOOS BVI’s sole source of income and operations is through its indirect, contractual control of Guangzhou Yuzhi and its Subsidiaries.
Based in the city of Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, China, Guangzhou Yuzhi and Guangzhou Rongsheng are principally engaged in software and information technology services and share full-time employees with Shenzhen Exce-card.
Shenzhen Exce-card is based in the city of Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, China, with a business development department in New York, NY. Additionally, Shenzhen Exce-card has entered into a partnership agreement with UINT France located in Saint Aubin, France (“UINT”), amended and supplemented by an amendment dated March 27, 2015 (as amended and supplemented, the “Partnership Agreement”), pursuant to which UINT was engaged by Shenzhen Exce-card to conduct product research and development (“R&D”) and other related services in connection with new audio signals, testing and producing new inlays for audio bank card and assisting the card manufacturers with lamination test, new generation of audio card, and assisting the card manufacturers with certification of the new audio card products. This Partnership Agreement was terminated in 2018 due to lack of sales of the audio cards.

In February 2015, Shenzhen Exce-card developed an electronic inlay utilizing innovative audio technology and embedded in a specialized IC card product, namely, “audio bank card.” We were granted the patent pertaining to such audio bank cards inlay, which will expire in 2023. The audio bank cards meet innovative product standards set forth by UnionPay, the only domestic bank card organization in China as well as the only interbank network in mainland China. UnionPay has authorized its logo to be displayed on the audio bank cards. However, it should be noted that we have no contractual agreement or arrangement with UnionPay with respect to audio bank cards.
We intended to supply and sell electronic inlays embedded with audio chips and other modules to card manufacturers, such as Hengbao Co., Ltd. (“Hengbao”) and Wuhan Tianyu Information Industry Co., Ltd. (“Tianyu”). However, we stopped the negotiations with Hengbao and Tianyu in 2018. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, we generated revenue in the amount of approximately $85,573 from providing technology consulting services.
Our Business Plan
We encountered challenges to expand the sales of our audio bank cards. Mobile phone payments through smart phone apps, such as Wechat and Venmo, have become one of the most popular methods to make payments. As of the date of this annual report, we ceased our efforts to market and sell our audio bank cards.
We sought to develop relationships with major card issuers in China since 2014 until 2018. We promoted two pilot programs with China Construction Bank (“CCB”), one of China’s four major banks; however, we could not continue the pilot programs due to lack of positive market reaction.
On August 22, 2016, we announced that Guangdong Qilong Internet Technology Co., Ltd. (“Qilong”), a high technology company based in Guangzhou, China, and one of the Company’s subsidiaries, Shenzhen Exce-card, entered into a strategic agreement to jointly develop the next generation of audio bank cards within the China Union Pay network. Qilong and the Company agreed to stop pursuing the strategic agreement referenced above.
On February 15, 2017, we, through Shenzhen Exce-card, entered into a card supply agreement (the “SD Card Supply Agreement”) with SmartDisplayer Technology, Co. Ltd. (“SmartDisplayer”), a company incorporated under the law of Taiwan, Republic of China, pursuant to which SmartDisplayer agreed to supply audio bank cards in compliance with Shenzhen Exce-card’s specifications and the ISO 7810 standard and in amounts requested by Shenzhen Exce-card from time to time for a term of two years commencing from the execution date of the SD Card Supply Agreement. We never put any purchase order from SmartDisplayer due to lack of demand for our audio cards.
Our Customers
During the fiscal year of 2018, we provided technology consulting services to our customer(s). We are in the process of shifting our business focus to find additional sources of revenue.

On February 4, 2019, the Board appointed Mr. Zhenpeng Gao as the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, effective January 29, 2019.
Marketing
Since we are in a business transition period, we conducted very limited marketing activities in the fiscal year of 2018. We stopped the efforts with Qilong with respect to the customer base development.
Research and Development
Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement between Shenzhen Exce-card and UINT, for the period from May 1, 2014 to April 30, 2016, Shenzhen Exce-card paid UINT €120,000 for R&D services, €20,000 of which was for developing new audio signals of new audio card product, €30,000 of which was for the testing of new Inlay and assisting the card manufacturers with lamination test, €50,000 of which was for the conception of new generation audio cards, and the last €20,000 of which was for assisting the card manufacturers with certification of the new audio card product. Another €60,000 was loaned to UINT to cover its operation costs. We ceased the cooperation relationship with UINT in 2018.
Employees
A part of our employees are located in China. As of the date of this annual report, Guangzhou Yuzhi and its subsidiaries had four (4) employees in China and seven (7) employees are located in the U.S. There are no collective bargaining contracts covering any of our employees. We believe our relationship with our employees is satisfactory.
We are required to contribute a portion of our employees’ total salaries to the Chinese government’s social insurance funds, including medical insurance, unemployment insurance and workers’ compensation insurance, and a housing assistance fund, in accordance with relevant regulations. Guangzhou Yuzhi and its Subsidiaries are currently paying social insurance for all of their four (4) full-time employees through a third party agent.
5
Insurance companies in China offer limited business insurance products. While business interruption insurance is available to a limited extent in China, we have determined that the risks of interruption, cost of such insurance and the difficulties associated with acquiring such insurance on commercially reasonable terms make it impractical for us to have such insurance. As a result, we could face liability from the interruption of our business.
Intellectual Property
Currently we have five (5) valid patents that were granted by the State Intellectual Property Office of the P.R.C. (“SIPO”) and the terms of which are ten years from the dates of grant of the patent applications. The five patents relate to the audio bank card technology and designs and its transaction system, such as the design of the circuit board embedded in the audio card, the transaction platform processing the audio data and the design of the audio chip. Two of the five patents were granted on May 4, 2016 and the rest were granted respectively on January 22, 2014, September 9, 2015 and December 23, 2015. Our patents were fully impaired in the fiscal year of 2018.
We obtained one trademark of the Company’s logo from SIPO on August 21, 2016, which remains valid until August 20, 2026. On April 23, 2015, the Company through one of its subsidiaries obtained the copyright on its software of Zhuozhi Changtian bank audio card application for micro and small businesses.
Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, any background information and know-how used in connection with the agreement remain the property of the party introducing such background information. UINT’s know-how relating to the services it provides under this agreement remains the exclusive property of UINT and it may use such know-how for other clients. Additionally, the costs and rights of any patent related to the new audio bank card product arises during the Term are borne by and shared equally by both parties.
Government Approval and Regulation
Due to the limited business operations, we were subject to very few regulations and governmental approvals in the fiscal year of 2018. We believe that we have been compliant to date with all requirements required by the applicable governing authorities in China with respect to the technology consulting services.
Going Concern
As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, as of December 31, 2018, the Company had accumulated deficits of $27,059,112 and working capital deficit of current liabilities exceeding current assets by $1,407,762 due to the substantial losses in operation in previous periods. Management’s plan to support the Company in operations and to maintain its business strategy is to raise funds through public and private offerings and to rely on officers and directors to perform essential functions with minimal compensation. If we do not raise all of the money we need from public or private offerings, we will have to find alternative sources, such as loans or advances from our officers, directors or others. Such additional financing may not become available on acceptable terms and there can be no assurance that any additional financing that the Company does obtain will be sufficient to meet its needs in the long term. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions on our operations, in the case of debt financing, or cause substantial dilution for our stockholders, in the case of equity financing. If we require additional cash and cannot raise it, we will either have to suspend operations or cease business entirely. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Overview of Business
The Company is a development stage company in the business of design, development, and proliferation of next generation debit and credit cards for financial institutions employing innovative secured encryption technology transmitted via audio wave technology. Due to slow sales of the audio bank cards, the Company is looking for alternatives to its current business model.
Critical Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its subsidiaries for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The consolidated financial statements include 100% of assets, liabilities, and net income or loss of those wholly-owned subsidiaries.
As of December 31, 2018, the detailed identities of the consolidating subsidiaries are as follows:
Name of Company | Place of incorporation | Attributable equity interest % | Registered capital | |||||||
EGOOS Mobile Technology Company Limited (“EGOOS BVI”) | BVI | 100 | % | $ | 1 | |||||
EGOOS Mobile Technology Company Limited (“EGOOS HK”) | Hong Kong | 100 | % | 1,290 | ||||||
Move the Purchase Consulting Management (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. (“WOFE”) | P.R.C. (WOFE) | 100 | % | - | ||||||
Guangzhou Yuzhi Information Technology Co., Ltd. (“GZYZ”) | P.R.C. | 100 | % | 150,527 | ||||||
Shenzhen Qianhai Exce-card Technology Co., Ltd. (“SQEC”) | P.R.C. | 100 | % | 150,527 | ||||||
Guangzhou Rongsheng Information Technology Co., Ltd. (“GZRS”) | P.R.C. | 100 | % | 1,505,267 |
Use of estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for certain items such as allowance for doubtful accounts, depreciation and amortization, impairment, inventory allowance, taxes and contingencies.
Contingencies
Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or un-asserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company’s management evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or un-asserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought.
9
If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material would be disclosed.
Loss contingencies considered to be remote by management are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantee would be disclosed.
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company classifies the following instruments as cash and cash equivalents: cash on hand, unrestricted bank deposits, and all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less.
Accounts receivable
Trade receivables are recognized and carried at the original invoice amount less allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An estimate for doubtful accounts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written off as incurred.
Other receivables
Other receivables are recognized and carried at the original invoice amount less allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An allowance for doubtful accounts is made when recovery of the full amount is doubtful.
Property, plant and equipment
Plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method with a salvage value of 10%. Estimated useful lives of the plant and equipment are as follows:
Computer equipment | 3 years | |
Office furniture | 5 years |
The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in the statement of income. The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to income as incurred, whereas significant renewals and betterments are capitalized.
10
Accounting for the Impairment of Long-lived assets
The long-lived assets held by the Company are reviewed in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 360-10-35, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. It is reasonably possible that these assets could become impaired as a result of technology or other industry changes. Impairment is present if carrying amount of an asset is less than its undiscounted cash flows to be generated.
If an asset is considered impaired, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. The Company believes no impairment has occurred to its assets during 2018.
Income taxes
The Company uses the accrual method of accounting to determine income taxes for the year. The Company has implemented FASB ASC 740 Accounting for Income Taxes. Income tax liabilities computed according to the United States, People’s Republic of China (PRC), and Hong Kong tax laws provide for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consists of taxes currently due, plus deferred taxes, related primarily to differences arising from the recognition of expenses related to the depreciation of plant and equipment, amortization of intangible assets, and provisions for doubtful accounts between financial and tax reporting. The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will be either taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Deferred taxes also are recognized for operating losses that are available to offset future income taxes.
A valuation allowance is recognized for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not, that the deferred tax assets will either expire before the Company is able to realize that tax benefit, or that future realization is uncertain.
Stock-based compensation
The Company has elected to use the Black-Scholes-Merton (“BSM”) pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options on the dates of grant. Also, the Company recognizes stock-based compensation using the straight-line method over the requisite service period.
The Company values stock awards using the market price on or around the date the shares were awarded and includes the amount of compensation as a period compensation expense over the requisite service period.
For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, $1,113,217 and $373,509 stock-based compensation was recognized.
11
Foreign currency translation
The accompanying financial statements are presented in United States dollars. The functional currency of the Company is the Renminbi (RMB) and Hong Kong dollar (HKD). The financial statements are translated into United States dollars from RMB at year-end exchange rates as to assets and liabilities and average exchange rates as to revenues and expenses. Capital accounts are translated at their historical exchange rates when the capital transactions occurred.
Exchange Rates | 12/31/2018 | 12/31/2017 | ||||||
Year-end/period-end RMB : US$ exchange rate | 6.8764 | 6.5064 | ||||||
Average annual/period RMB : US$ exchange rate | 6.6146 | 6.7570 | ||||||
Year-end/period-end HKD : US$ exchange rate | 7.8312 | 7.8149 | ||||||
Average annual/period HKD : US$ exchange rate | 7.8370 | 7.7922 |
The RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currency and all foreign exchange transactions must take place through authorized institutions. No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into US Dollar at the rates used in translation.
Revenue recognition
The Company recognizes services revenue when the following criteria have been met: 1.) it has agreed and entered into a contract for service with it customers, 2.) the contract has set forth a fixed fee for the services to be rendered, 3.) the Company has fully rendered service to its customers, and there are no additional obligations that exist that under the terms of the contract that the Company has not fulfilled, and 4.) the Company has either received payment, or reasonably expects payment from the customer in accordance to the payment terms set forth in the contract.
Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding. Dilutive securities having an anti-dilutive effect on diluted earnings per share are excluded from the calculation.
Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method for options and warrants. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.
Comprehensive loss
Comprehensive income (loss) is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. The Company presents components of comprehensive income with equal prominence to other financial statements. The Company’s current component of other comprehensive income is the foreign currency translation adjustment.
Subsequent events
The Company evaluates subsequent events that have occurred after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued. There are two types of subsequent events: (1) recognized, or those that provide additional evidence with respect to conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet, including the estimates inherent in the process of preparing financial statements, and (2) non-recognized, or those that provide evidence with respect to conditions that did not exist at the date of the balance sheet but arose subsequent to that date.
12
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
ASC 825, Financial Instruments, requires that the Company discloses estimated fair values of financial instruments. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for current assets and current liabilities qualifying as financial instruments are a reasonable estimate of fair value.
The Company applies the provisions of ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. ASC 820-10 defines fair value, and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. For certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, loan receivables and short-term bank loans, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturities. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:
● | Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. |
● | Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. |
● | Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. |
The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity,” and ASC 815.
The following tables present the Company’s financial assets and liabilities at fair value in accordance to ASC 820-10

Results of Operations
We are a development stage company and have generated minimal revenues from operations since our inception on November 11, 2013 to December 31, 2018. As of December 31, 2018, we had total assets of $7,787 and total liabilities of $1,414,965. We expect we will require additional capital to meet our long term operating requirements. We expect to raise additional capital through, among other things, the sale of equity or debt securities.
We are in the process of developing our products and services. Consequently, we generated minimal revenues as of the date of this report. We have an accumulated deficit and have incurred operating losses since our inception and expect losses to continue during 2019.
Revenue
Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2018 were $85,573 compared to $230,805 for the period to December 31, 2017, reflecting a decrease of $145,232 or 63%. The decrease of revenue during such period was primarily attributed to lack of sales of our bank audio cards and decline in demand of the technology consulting services.
Expenses
General and administrative and professional fee expenses were related to corporate overhead, financial and administrative contracted services, such as legal and accounting, developmental costs, and marketing expenses. General and administrative expenses and professional fees for the year ended December 31, 2018 were $1,671,264 as compared to $1,448,488 for the comparable period ended December 31, 2017, which represented an increase of $222,776 or approximately 15%. Such increase was primarily attributed to the recognition of employee compensation to the previous chief executive officer.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our primary liquidity and capital resource needs are to finance the costs of our operations, to make capital expenditures and to service our debt. We continue to be dependent on our ability to generate revenues, positive cash flows and additional financing.

Cash Flow from Operating Activities
During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the net cash used in operating activities were $283,480 and $702,126, respectively, reflecting a decrease of $418,646 or 59.63%. Such decrease was primarily caused by the downsizing of the employees in China and the U.S.
Cash Flow from Investing Activities
The net cash used or generated from investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2018 was $0 and $53,786 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2017. The net cash generated from investing activities decreased in the amount of $53,786, or 100%, which was mainly due to the hardship in sales of the bank audio cards.
Cash Flow from Financing Activities
During the year ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, net cash generated from financing activities was $308,860 and $282,347. The increase of $26,513 or 9.39% in net cash generated from financing activities was primarily because we received advances from certain related parties.
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, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued guidance, which simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairment. The updated guidance eliminates Step 2 of the impairment test, which requires entities to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill to measure a goodwill impairment charge. Instead, entities will record an impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value. The Company is still assessing the impact of this pronouncement to its financial statements.
As of December 31, 2018, except for the above, there are no recently issued accounting standards not yet adopted that would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that is designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As of the end of the period covered by this annual report, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer (the “Certifying Officers”), conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the Certifying Officers have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were, due to certain factors, not effective to ensure that material information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported by our management on a timely basis in order to comply with our disclosure obligations under the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
Our management is also responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
● | Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; | |
● | Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of the Company’s management and directors; and | |
● | Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. |
16
As of December 31, 2018, we carried out an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in “Internal Control-Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2018. Management has specifically observed that our accounting systems and current staffing resources in our finance department are currently insufficient to support the complexity of our financial reporting requirements. We currently do not have adequate staff members in our accounting and finance department who have experience or specialized training in preparing financial statements in the form and format required by the SEC. We have also experienced difficulty in applying complex accounting and financial reporting disclosure rules as required under various aspects of GAAP and SEC reporting regulations including those relating to accounting for business combinations, intangible assets, derivatives and income taxes.
We have instituted certain procedures to mitigate our internal control risks. Our Chief Executive Officer and our Controller based in China review and approve substantially all of our major transactions to ensure the completeness and fair presentation of our consolidated financial statements. We have, when needed, hired outside experts to assist us with implementing complex accounting principles. Management and the Board of Directors believe that the Company must allocate additional human and financial resources to address these matters.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
During the period ended December 31, 2018, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Committees and Meetings
We do not have a standing audit committee of the Board of Directors.

All communications from stockholders are relayed to the members of the board of directors.
19
Role in Risk Oversight
Our board of directors is primarily responsible for overseeing our risk management processes. The board of directors receives and reviews periodic reports from management, auditors, legal counsel, and others, as considered appropriate regarding our company’s assessment of risks. The board of directors focuses on the most significant risks facing our company and our company’s general risk management strategy, and also ensures that risks undertaken by our company are consistent with the board’s appetite for risk. While the board oversees our company’s risk management, management is responsible for day-to-day risk management processes. We believe this division of responsibilities is the most effective approach for addressing the risks facing our company and that our board leadership structure supports this approach.
Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our executive officers and directors and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission initial statements of beneficial ownership, reports of changes in ownership and annual reports concerning their ownership of the our common stock and other equity securities, on Form 3, 4 and 5 respectively. Executive officers, directors and greater than 10% shareholders are required by the Securities and Exchange Commission regulations to furnish our company with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file.
Based solely on our review of the copies of such reports received by us, and on written representations by our officers and directors regarding their compliance with the applicable reporting requirements under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, we believe that, with respect to the period ended December 31, 2018, our officers and directors, and all of the persons known to us to own more than 10% of our common stock, have not filed all required reports on a timely basis. Yang Liu, our previous CEO, did not timely file Form 3 and Form 4 relating to the grant of options to purchase 1,050,000 shares of the Company’s common stock on October 20, 2017. Mei Yang, our chairperson of the Board, did not timely file Form 3 and Form 4 relating to the receipt of 81,837 shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for the conversion of certain debt owed by the Company to her as set forth in the Note Conversion Exchange Agreement dated March 17, 2017. Zaixian Wang, a shareholder owning more than 10% of our outstanding common stock, did not timely file Form 3 and Form 4 relating to the receipt of 1,025,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for the conversion of certain debt owed by the Company to him as set forth in the Note Conversion Exchange Agreement dated March 17, 2017. We plan to file such forms required by the Securities and Exchange Commission regulations as soon as practicable.

REPORT OF REGISTERED INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Wave Sync Corp.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Wave Sync Corp. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the related statements of operations, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two year ended December 31, 2018, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Emphasis of Matter
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 11 to the financial statements, the Company had incurred substantial losses in previous years and has a working capital deficit, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regards to these matters are also described in Note 11. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

1. | THE COMPANY AND PRINCIPAL BUSINESS ACTIVITIES |
Wave Sync Corp. formerly known as China Bio-Energy Corp. (the “Company”), and prior to that known as China INSOnline Corp., was incorporated on December 23, 1988 as Lifequest Medical, Inc., a Delaware corporation.
In June 2010, the Company ceased all operations conducted by its then subsidiaries: Ever Trend Investment Limited, Run Ze Yong Cheng (Beijing) Technology, San Teng Da Fei Technology, and Guang Hua Insurance Agency (“Ever Trend Group”); on January 27, 2015, the Company announced the completion of the disposition of the aforementioned subsidiaries. Accordingly, the Company has excluded the accounts of Ever Trend Group in these financial statements and the accompanying notes contained herein.
On November 12, 2010, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement with Ding Neng Holdings Ltd, an investment holdings company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands (“Ding Neng Holdings”); the share exchange agreement was amended on December 6, 2010, whereby the Company, under the share exchange agreement and its related amendment, would have contemplated acquiring 100% of Ding Neng Holdings in exchange for the issuance of 26,162,505 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001. Under the share exchange agreement, the Company would have contemplated owning and operating Ding Neng Holdings and Ding Neng Holdings’ directly, and indirectly held subsidiaries: Ding Neng Bio-technology Co., Ltd. (“Ding Neng HK”), Zhangzhou Fuhua Biomass Energy Technology Co., Ltd. (“WOFE”), and Ding Neng Bio-tech. Ding Neng HK was incorporated under the laws of Hong Kong on September 10, 2010. Ding Neng HK did not have any operations. Ding Neng HK has been delinquent with its annual regulatory filings in Hong Kong, and should be considered dormant and defunct. Ding Neng HK was wholly-owned by Ding Neng Holdings. Zhangzhou Fuhua Biomass Energy Technology Co., Ltd. (“WFOE”) was incorporated as a wholly-foreign owned entity under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”), on November 2, 2010. WFOE was wholly-owned by Ding Neng HK. Ding Neng Bio-tech was incorporated under the laws of the PRC on December 8, 2006. It was located in Zhangzhou city Fujian Province of PRC. Ding Neng Bio-tech was engaged in the production, refinement and distribution of bio-diesel fuel in Southern China. Ding Neng Bio-tech operated a biodiesel manufacturing facility in Zhangzhou city. On October 28, 2010, WFOE and Ding Neng Bio-tech entered into a set of variable interest entity agreements that included: (1) a Consulting Service Agreement with Ding Neng Bio-tech, which entitled WFOE to receive substantially all of the economic benefits of Ding Neng Bio-tech in consideration for services provided by WFOE to Ding Neng Bio-tech, (2) an Option Agreement with Xinfeng Nie, Sanfu Huang, and Shunlong Hu (the shareholders of Ding Neng Bio-tech) allowing the WFOE to acquire all the shares of Ding Neng Bio-tech as permitted by PRC laws, (3) a Voting Rights Proxy Agreement that provides WFOE with the all voting rights of the Ding Neng Bio-tech shareholders, and (4) an Equity Pledge Agreement that pledges the shares in Ding Neng Bio-tech to WFOE (VIE Agreements). These VIE Agreements granted effective control of Ding Neng Bio-tech to WFOE. On June 4, 2015, WFOE filed a civil action in Haicang District People’s Court of Xiamen, Fujian, PRC (the “Court”) against Ding Neng Bio-tech, alleging that the purposes of those certain executed VIE Agreements entered into by WFOE and Ding Neng Bio-Tech on October 28, 2010, had been frustrated, and that these VIE Agreements should be terminated. WFOE alleged that Ding Neng Bio-Tech did not make any payment of service fees to WFOE, and that Ding Neng Bio-Tech failed to perfect the security interest in the pledged stocks. On July 14, 2015, this case was settled via in-court mediation directed by the Court. As a result, WFOE and Ding Neng Bio-Tech entered into binding settlement, among other things, (i) to terminate the VIE Agreements, and (ii) that the litigation fee in the amount of RMB10,000 (approximately $1,610.50) would be borne by Ding Neng Bio-Tech. Ding Neng Holdings is delinquent with its regulatory filings and annual fees to the British Virgin Islands; accordingly, the Ding Neng Holdings should be considered dormant and defunct.

(Stated in US Dollars)
Given that the Company has not been able to exercise effective control over Ding Neng Bio-Tech or to access Ding Neng Bio-tech’s financial information since 2011, and the VIE Agreements were terminated, the Company has excluded the accounts of Ding Neng Bio-Tech’s in these financial statements and the accompanying notes contained herein; the exclusion of such accounts is considered as a type two material subsequent event that occurred prior to the issuance of the financial statements but after the balance sheets dates that required material adjustments to the financial statements presented. Ding Neng Holdings is delinquent and defunct; the Company has determined that the Company was never registered as the sole shareholder of Ding Neng Holdings pursuant to the share exchange agreement dated November 12, 2010, and amended December 6, 2010; accordingly, the Company has excluded the accounts of Ding Neng and its subsidiaries in these financial statements and the accompanying notes as contained herein; the exclusion of such accounts is considered as a type two material subsequent event that occurred prior to the issuance of the financial statements but after the balance sheets dates that required material adjustments to the financial statements presented. The Company accounted for the issuance of shares to the shareholders of Ding Neng Holdings under the contemplated share exchange transaction as a recapitalization of the Company under reverse take-over accounting; accordingly, the Company’s historical stockholders’ equity has been retroactively restated to the first period presented; as a result of the Company not being updated to Ding Neng Holdings shareholder register, and that Ding Neng Holdings being defunct, the Company has written off all investments made in Ding Neng as loss on investment in subsidiary.
In connection with the share exchange agreement with the shareholders of Ding Neng Holdings that contemplated the acquisition of Ding Neng Holdings and its subsidiaries, the Company elected to adopt the fiscal year used by Ding Neng Holdings, which was a calendar year; accordingly, the Company’s financial statements presented herein have been, and on a go-forward basis, will be prepared using a December 31 year-end date, and each operating period will cover twelve full calendar months.
Share Purchase Agreement
On October 19, 2015, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Share Purchase Agreement”) with EGOOS Mobile Technology Company Limited, a British Virgin Islands holding company (“EGOOS BVI”), which owns 100% of EGOOS Mobile Technology Company Limited, a Hong Kong company (“EGOOS HK”), which owns 100% of Move the Purchase Consulting Management (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. (“WOFE”), a foreign investment enterprise organized under the laws of the PRC, and which has, through various contractual agreements known as variable interest entity (“VIE”) agreements. These VIE agreements provide the WOFE management control and the rights to the profits of Guangzhou Yuzhi Information Technology Co., Ltd., a corporation organized under the laws of the PRC as a variable interest entity (“GZYZ”), which owns 100% of Shenzhen Qianhai Exce-card Technology Co., Ltd., a Chinese corporation (“SQEC”), which owns 100% of Guangzhou Rongsheng Information Technology Co., Ltd., a Chinese corporation (“GZRS”) and the sole shareholder of EGOOS BVI. The VIE agreements include: (1) an Exclusive Service Agreement between WOFE and GZYZ, which entitles WOFE to receive substantially all of the economic benefits of GZYZ in consideration for services provided by WOFE to GZYZ, (2) a Call Option Agreement with the shareholders of GZYZ, Yang Wenbin and Li Ping, allowing the WOFE to acquire all the shares of GZYZ as permitted by PRC laws, (3) a Voting Rights Proxy Agreement that provides WOFE with the all voting rights of the GZYZ’s shareholders, and (4) an Equity Pledge Agreement that pledges the shares in GZYZ to WOFE.

SQEC was incorporated on November 11, 2013. The Company is in the business of design, development, and proliferation of next generation debit and credit cards for financial institutions employing innovative secured encryption technology transmitted via audio wave technology; the Company intends to work with China Union Pay and China Construction Bank under a potential pilot program to develop and market to end user bank customers and business operators to adopt these next generation of cards by developing point of sale and commercial interfaces via software and other solutions to generate demand for these cards as a value-added alternative to current generation debit and credit cards.
On January 28, 2015, ownership of SQEC’s was transferred from Bao, Shanshan to Xiang, Zuyue for a consideration of approximately $1,629,062 (RMB 10,000,000). Simultaneously, Xiang, Zuyue transferred 40% of ownership to Li, Na for a consideration of $651,625 (RMB 4,000,000). On July 24, 2015, SQEC entire ownership was collectively transferred from Xiang, Zuyue and Li, Na to Guangzhou Yuzhi Information Technology Co. Ltd. (“GZYZ”) for a consideration of approximately $1,629,062 (RMB 10,000,000).
On March 16, 2015, the GZRS was incorporated as a wholly-owned subsidiary of SQEC. GZRS has an authorized capital of RMB 1,000,000. As of the date of this report, GZRS has not been capitalized.
Pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement the Company issued a convertible note to EGOOS BVI’s sole shareholder for 100% equity interest in EGOOS BVI. The note is convertible into 15,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock contingent on the following conditions: (i) the Company has effectuated a reverse split of all of the issued and outstanding Common Stock as of the date of the issuance of the note (the “Reverse Split”) and (ii) the average closing price of the common stock for 3 business days within any period of 10 consecutive business days exceeds $1.00 per share (the “Conversion Conditions”). Upon conversion of the note, the existing shareholders of the Registrant will own an aggregate of 24.7% of the post-acquisition entity. The note was issued at Par, it is unsecured, interest free, and is due on the second anniversary of the issuance date of the note. In accounting for the note, the Company has assumed that the note does not carry any discount from face that requires accretion as interest expense to its results of operations, including any potential beneficial conversion features. On January 26, 2016, the reverse split was effectuated, and subsequently, on February 4, 2016, the convertible promissory note was converted into 15 million newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock. The conversion of the promissory note has been recognized retroactively to the first period presented as a component of the reverse takeover transactions detailed below.
The consolidated financial statements were prepared assuming that the Company has controlled EGOOS BVI and its intermediary holding companies, operating subsidiaries, and variable interest entities: EGOOS HK, WOFE, GZYZ, SQEC, and GZRS from the first period presented. The transactions detailed above have been accounted for as reverse takeover transactions and a recapitalization of the Company, including the conversion of the convertible promissory note; accordingly, the Company (the legal acquirer) is considered the accounting acquiree and EGOOS BVI (the legal acquiree) is considered the accounting acquirer. No goodwill has been recorded. As a result of this transaction, the Company is deemed to be a continuation of the business of EGOOS BVI and SQEC.

Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for certain items such as allowance for doubtful accounts, depreciation and amortization, impairment, inventory allowance, taxes and contingencies.

E. | Contingencies |
Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or un-asserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company’s management evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or un-asserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought.
If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material would be disclosed.
Loss contingencies considered to be remote by management are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantee would be disclosed.
F. | Cash and cash equivalents |
The Company classifies the following instruments as cash and cash equivalents: cash on hand, unrestricted bank deposits, and all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less.
G. | Accounts receivable |
Trade receivables are recognized and carried at the original invoice amount less allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An estimate for doubtful accounts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written off as incurred.
H. | Other receivables |
Other receivables are recognized and carried at the original invoice amount less allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An allowance for doubtful accounts is made when recovery of the full amount is doubtful.
I. | Property, plant and equipment |
Plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method with a salvage value of 10%. Estimated useful lives of the plant and equipment are as follows:
Computer equipment | 3 years | |
Office furniture | 5 years |
The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in the statement of income. The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to income as incurred, whereas significant renewals and betterments are capitalized.

J. | Accounting for the Impairment of Long-lived assets |
The long-lived assets held by the Company are reviewed in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 360-10-35, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. It is reasonably possible that these assets could become impaired as a result of technology or other industry changes. Impairment is present if carrying amount of an asset is less than its undiscounted cash flows to be generated.
If an asset is considered impaired, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. The Company believes no impairment has occurred to its assets during 2018.
K. | Income taxes |
The Company uses the accrual method of accounting to determine income taxes for the year. The Company has implemented FASB ASC 740 Accounting for Income Taxes. Income tax liabilities computed according to the United States, People’s Republic of China (PRC), and Hong Kong tax laws provide for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consists of taxes currently due, plus deferred taxes, related primarily to differences arising from the recognition of expenses related to the depreciation of plant and equipment, amortization of intangible assets, and provisions for doubtful accounts between financial and tax reporting. The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will be either taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Deferred taxes also are recognized for operating losses that are available to offset future income taxes.
A valuation allowance is recognized for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not, that the deferred tax assets will either expire before the Company is able to realize that tax benefit, or that future realization is uncertain.
L. | Stock-based compensation |
The Company has elected to use the Black-Scholes-Merton (“BSM”) pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options on the dates of grant. Also, the Company recognizes stock-based compensation using the straight-line method over the requisite service period.
The Company values stock awards using the market price on or around the date the shares were awarded and includes the amount of compensation as a period compensation expense over the requisite service period.
For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, $1,113,217 and $373,509 stock-based compensation was recognized.
M. | Foreign currency translation |
The accompanying financial statements are presented in United States dollars. The functional currency of the Company is the Renminbi (RMB) and Hong Kong dollar (HKD). The financial statements are translated into United States dollars from RMB at year-end exchange rates as to assets and liabilities and average exchange rates as to revenues and expenses. Capital accounts are translated at their historical exchange rates when the capital transactions occurred.
Exchange Rates | 12/31/2018 | 12/31/2017 | ||||||
Year-end/period-end RMB : US$ exchange rate | 6.8764 | 6.5064 | ||||||
Average annual/period RMB : US$ exchange rate | 6.6146 | 6.7570 | ||||||
Year-end/period-end HKD : US$ exchange rate | 7.8312 | 7.8149 | ||||||
Average annual/period HKD : US$ exchange rate | 7.8370 | 7.7922 |
The RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currency and all foreign exchange transactions must take place through authorized institutions. No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into US Dollar at the rates used in translation.

N. | Revenue recognition |
The Company recognizes services revenue when the following criteria have been met: 1.) it has agreed and entered into a contract for service with it customers, 2.) the contract has set forth a fixed fee for the services to be rendered, 3.) the Company has fully rendered service to its customers, and there are no additional obligations that exist that under the terms of the contract that the Company has not fulfilled, and 4.) the Company has either received payment, or reasonably expects payment from the customer in accordance to the payment terms set forth in the contract.
O. | Earnings per share |
Basic earnings per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding. Dilutive securities having an anti-dilutive effect on diluted earnings per share are excluded from the calculation.
Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method for options and warrants. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.
P. | Comprehensive loss |
Comprehensive income (loss) is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. The Company presents components of comprehensive income with equal prominence to other financial statements. The Company’s current component of other comprehensive income is the foreign currency translation adjustment.
Q. | Subsequent events |
The Company evaluates subsequent events that have occurred after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued. There are two types of subsequent events: (1) recognized, or those that provide additional evidence with respect to conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet, including the estimates inherent in the process of preparing financial statements, and (2) non-recognized, or those that provide evidence with respect to conditions that did not exist at the date of the balance sheet but arose subsequent to that date.
R. | Recent accounting pronouncements |
In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued guidance, which simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairment. The updated guidance eliminates Step 2 of the impairment test, which requires entities to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill to measure a goodwill impairment charge. Instead, entities will record an impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value. The Company is still assessing the impact of this pronouncement to its financial statements.
As of December 31, 2018, except for the above, there are no recently issued accounting standards not yet adopted that would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

S. | Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
ASC 825, Financial Instruments, requires that the Company discloses estimated fair values of financial instruments. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for current assets and current liabilities qualifying as financial instruments are a reasonable estimate of fair value.
The Company applies the provisions of ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. ASC 820-10 defines fair value, and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. For certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, loan receivables and short-term bank loans, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturities. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:
● | Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. | |
● | Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. | |
● | Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. |
The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity,” and ASC 815.
The following tables present the Company’s financial assets and liabilities at fair value in accordance to ASC 820-10

Stock option compensation
On October 20, 2017, the Company issued to Mr. Yang Liu, the option to purchase 1,050,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to be issued upon his exercise of such option. The option vests in three tranches according to the following schedule: 350,000 shares at October 19, 2018, 350,000 shares at October 19, 2019, and 350,000 at October 19, 2020. All three tranches expire on October 19, 2022. The Company has used the widely accepted Black Scholes Merton Option Pricing Model to measure the fair value of these securities, because of their plain vanilla nature of this option. The Company employed the followings assumptions to calculate the fair value of the option: expected forfeiture rate: 0%, risk free rate: 2.03%, expiration date: October 19, 2022, exercise price: $1.00, annualized volatility: 602.71%, dividend yield: 0%, and the Company’s closing stock price at year end.

Uncertain Tax Positions
Interest associated with unrecognized tax benefits are classified as income tax, and penalties are classified in selling, general and administrative expenses in the statements of operations. For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits and related interest and penalties expenses. Currently, the Company is not subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions.
Deferred Income Tax Benefits
Deferred income tax benefits arise from temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements, which will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future. In evaluating the Company’s ability to recover the deferred tax assets, the management considers all available positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. In projecting future taxable income, the Company begins with historical results adjusted for the results of discontinued operations and incorporate assumptions about the amount of future state, federal, and foreign pretax operating income adjusted for items that do not have tax consequences. The assumptions about future taxable income require the use of significant judgment and are consistent with the plans and estimates that the Company is using to manage the underlying businesses. As of December 31, 2018, management was uncertain as to whether or not the Company would be able to utilize the potential deferred tax assets arising from net operating losses’ since the Company is not currently generating any revenue; accordingly, the Company has not recognized a deferred tax asset.

10. | LOSS PER SHARE |
Basic loss per common share from operations attributable to the Company is based on the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the relevant period. Diluted loss per common share from continuing operations attributable to the Company is based on the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the relevant period adjusted for the dilutive effect of share-based awards. The Company did not have significant share-based awards outstanding that were antidilutive and not included in the calculation of diluted loss per common share from operations attributable to the Company for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share of common stock:

11. | GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTIES |
These financial statements have been prepared assuming that Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future.
As of December 31, 2018, the Company had accumulated deficits of $27,059,112 and working capital deficit of current liabilities exceeding current assets by $1,407,762. Management’s plan to support the Company in operations and to maintain its business strategy is to raise funds through public and private offerings and to rely on officers and directors to perform essential functions with minimal compensation. If we do not raise all of the money we need from public or private offerings, we will have to find alternative sources, such as loans or advances from our officers, directors or others. Such additional financing may not become available on acceptable terms and there can be no assurance that any additional financing that the Company does obtain will be sufficient to meet its needs in the long term. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions on our operations, in the case of debt financing, or cause substantial dilution for our stockholders, in the case of equity financing. If we require additional cash and cannot raise it, we will either have to suspend operations or cease business entirely.
The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
