Business Experience of Executive Officers

We are subject to all applicable laws, policies

Ben Errez has acted as Chairman of our Board of Directors (the “Board”), Executive Vice President, Principal Financial Officer and regulations that govern the financial guarantee industry in China, including those adopted by China’s central bank, the People’s Bank of China (“PBOC”), which sets monetary policy and, together with the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”), foreign-exchange policies. AccordingPrincipal Accounting Officer since July 2017. He has brought this expertise to the 1995 Central Bank law,Company to lead the State Council maintains oversightCompany into the forefront of PBOC policies.

Regulations were recently promulgated by State Developmentthe blockchain-based financial software, services and Reform Commission, or SDRC, and SAFE, that require registration with, and approvalhardware market. Since 2017, Errez has been a principal of the GreenBox Business. From August 2004 until August 2015, Errez formed the start-up IHC Capital, where he held the position of Principal Consultant from PRC government authorities in connection with direct or indirect offshore investment activities by individuals who are PRC residents and PRC corporate entities. These regulations may applyfounding to the Company’s future offshore or cross-border acquisitions,present date, through which he advises clients in the South Pacific region with market capitalizations ranging from $50M to $150M on matters such as commerce, security, reliability and privacy. From January 1991 to August 2004, he served as Software Development Lead for the Microsoft International Product Group. He led the International Microsoft Office Components team (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) in design, engineering, development and successful deployment. He also served as Executive Representative of Microsoft Office and was a founding member of the Microsoft Trustworthy Computing Forum, both within the company, and internationally. Errez co-authored the first Microsoft Trustworthy Computing Paper on Reliability. At Microsoft, Mr. Errez was responsible for the development of the first Microsoft software translation Software Development Kit (“SDK”) in Hebrew, Arabic, Thai and Simplified Chinese, as well as the development of the first bidirectional extensions to Rich Text Format (“RTF”) file format, all bidirectional extensions in text converters for Microsoft Office, and contributed to the equity interests in offshore companies held by the Company’s PRC shareholders who are considered PRC residents. The Company intends to make all required applications and filings and will require the shareholdersdevelopment of the offshore entitiesinternational extensions to the Unicode standard to include bidirectional requirements under the World Wide Web Consortium (“W3C”). He received his Bachelor Degree in Mathematics and Computer Science from the Hebrew University.

Fredi Nisan has served as a Director and our Chief Executive Office since July 2017, and has been a principal of the Company since August 2017. In May 2016, Nisan founded Firmness, LLC. Through Firmness, Nisan created “QuickCitizen,” a software program that simplfies the onboarding process for new clients of law firms specializing in immigration issues. The QuickCitizen software significantly reduced law firm’s onboarding processing time from more than three hours to approximately fifteen minutes. In January 2010, Nisan launched Brava POS, where he served as President until 2015. Brava POS provided point of sale (“POS”) systems for specialty retail companies. Nisan developed software to provide clients with solutions for issues ranging from inventory management to payroll to processing high volume transactions in the Company’s corporate group who are considered PRC residentsform of a cloud-based POS system. This system had the capability to make the applicationmanage multiple stores with centralized inventory and filingsprocess sales without an internet connection, and offered a secure login for each employee, as required under these regulationswell as including advanced inventory management and under any implementing rules or approval practices that may be established under these regulations. However, because these regulations are relatively new and lacking implementing rules or reconciliation with other approval requirements, it remains uncertain how these regulations and any future legislation concerning offshore or cross-border transactions will be interpreted and implemented by the relevant government authorities.


The approval criteria by SDRC agenciesreporting, plus powerful functionality for outbound investment by PRC residents are not provided under the relevant SDRC regulations. Also, the criteria for registration with SAFE agencies, and whether such registration procedure is discretionary, are still uncertain as the criteria, if any, are not provided for under relevant SDRC regulations. Furthermore, there is a lack of relevant registration precedents for us to determine the registration criteria in practice. Accordingly, the Company cannot provide any assurances that we will be able to comply with, qualify under or obtain any registration or approval as required by these regulations or other related legislations. Further, we cannot assure you that our shareholders would not be considered PRC residents, given uncertainties as to what constitutes a PRC resident for the purposes of the regulation, or that if they are deemed PRC residents, they would (or would be able to) comply with the requirements. Our failure or the failure of our PRC resident shareholders to obtain these approvals or registrations may restrict our ability to acquire a company outside of China or use our entities outside of China to acquire or establish companies inside of China, which could negatively affect our business and future prospects.
As a U.S. public company, we are also subject to Federal and state securities laws. 
WE ARE SUBJECT TO UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS WHICH COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT THE COMPANY’S BUSINESS.
The primary source of income of the Company’s commercial real estate Division is from the hotels bought by Chinese large corporations and high-net worth individuals. Capital transferred into the United States are heavily regulated by the United States government. If the United States government imposes limitations on accepting investment from China, it will adversely affect the Company’s business.
WE ARE SUBJECT TO FOREIGN GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS WHICH COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT THE COMPANY’S BUSINESS.
The primary source of income of the Company’s Commercial Real Estate Division is from overseas investors purchasing Hotels in the U.S. Foreign governments may advise their approval to allow investment abroad. Such policies could adversely affect the Company’s commercial real estate transaction consultant revenue.
LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY

Until February 28, 2009, the Company operated a business consisting of organizing trade shows and events. The Company abandoned this line of business in March of 2009 and the Company entered the investment consulting business full time.

As required under applicable Nasdaq rules, we anticipate that our independent directors will meet in regularly scheduled executive sessions at which only independent directors are present.

Board Committees

The Board has established the following three standing committees: audit committee; compensation committee; and nominating and governance committee, or nominating committee. Each of our independent directors, Ms. Baer and Messrs. Caragol, James, and Laniado, serves on each committee. Mr. Caragol serves as chairman of each committee. Our Board has adopted written charters for each of these committees. Copies of the charters are available on our website. Our Board may establish other committees as it deems necessary or appropriate from time to time.

Audit Committee

The audit committee is responsible for, among other matters:

appointing, compensating, retaining, evaluating, terminating, and overseeing our independent registered

public accounting firm;

discussing with our independent registered public accounting firm the independence of its members from its management;

reviewing with our independent registered public accounting firm the scope and results of their audit;

approving all audit and permissible non-audit services to be performed by our

independent registered public accounting firm;

overseeing the financial reporting process and discussing with management and our independent

registered public accounting firm the interim and annual financial statements that we file with the SEC;

reviewing and monitoring our accounting principles, accounting policies, financial and accounting controls, and

compliance with legal and regulatory requirements;

coordinating the oversight by our Board of our code of business conduct and our disclosure controls and procedures

establishing procedures for the confidential and/or anonymous submission of concerns regarding accounting,

internal controls or auditing matters;

reviewing and approving related-person transactions; and

appointing, compensating, retaining, evaluating, terminating, and overseeing our independent registered

 public accounting firm;

The Board has reviewed the independence of our directors based on the listing standards of Nasdaq. Based on this review, the Board has determined that that each of Ms. Baer and Messrs. Caragol, James and Laniado meet the definition of “independent director” for purposes of serving on an audit committee under Rule 10A-3 and NASDAQ rules. The Board has determined that Mr. Caragol qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert,” as such term is defined in Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K.

Compensation Committee

The compensation committee is responsible for, among other matters:

reviewing key employee compensation goals, policies, plans and programs;

reviewing and approving the compensation of our directors and executive officers;

reviewing and approving employment agreements and other similar arrangements

between us and our executive officers; and

appointing and overseeing any compensation consultants or advisors.

Nominating Committee

The purpose of the nominating committee is to assist the Board in identifying qualified individuals to become Board members, in determining the composition of the board and in monitoring the process to assess board effectiveness.

Board Leadership Structure

Currently, Mr. Nisan is our principal executive officer and Mr. Errez is chairman of the Board.

Risk Oversight

Our Board oversees a company-wide approach to risk management. Our Board determines the appropriate risk level for us generally, consideredassess the specific risks faced by us and review the steps taken by management to be a less efficient market than markets such as NASDAQ or other national exchanges, and which make it more difficultmanage those risks. While our Board has ultimate oversight responsibility for the Company’s shareholdersrisk management process, its committees oversee risk in certain specified areas.

Specifically, our compensation committee is responsible for overseeing the management of risks relating to our executive compensation plans and arrangements, and the incentives created by the compensation awards it administers. Our audit committee oversees management of enterprise risks and financial risks, as well as potential conflicts of interests. The Board is responsible for overseeing the management of risks associated with the independence of our Board.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

Our Board adopted a code of business conduct trades. It may also make it more difficult for the Companyand ethics that applies to obtain future financing. Further, the Company’s securities are subjectour directors, officers and employees. A copy of this code is available on our website. We intend to disclose on our website any amendments to the “penny stock rules” adopted pursuantCode of Business Conduct and Ethics and any waivers of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that apply to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, controller, or persons performing similar functions.

Delinquent Section 15 (g)16(A) Reports

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The penny stock rules apply to non-NASDAQ companies whose common stock trades at lessrequires our directors, executive officers, and any beneficial owners of more than $5.00 per share or which have tangible net worth10% of less than $5,000,000 ($2,000,000 if the company has been operating for three or more years). Such rules require, among other things, that brokers who trade “penny stock” to persons other than “established customers” complete certain documentation, make suitability inquiries of investors and provide investors with certain information concerning trading in the security, including a risk disclosure document and quote information under certain circumstances. Many brokers have decided not to trade “penny stocks” because of the requirements of the penny stock rules and, as a result, the number of broker-dealers willing to act as market makers in such securities is limited. In the event that the Company remains subject to the “penny stock rules” for any significant period, there may develop an adverse impact on the market, if any, for the Company’s securities. Because the Company’s securities are subject to the “penny stock rules”, investors will find it more difficult to dispose of the Company’s securities. Further, for companies whose securities are traded in the over-the-counter market, it is more difficult to obtain accurate quotations and to obtain coverage for significant news events because major wire services, such as the Dow Jones News Service, generally do not publish press releases about such companies.

NO DIVIDENDS

The Company has not paid any dividends on itsour common stock to datefile reports relating to their ownership and there are no plans for paying dividends on itschanges in ownership of our common stock inwith the foreseeable future.SEC and Nasdaq by certain deadlines. With respect to our current directors and executive officers who also held such positions during the year ended December 31, 2021, based on a review of their Section 16 filings, we believe that the below late reports were made. There were no known failures to file a required form. The Company intendsis putting in place processes to retain earnings, if any, to provide funds for the execution of its business plan. The Company does not intend to declare or pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. Therefore, there can be no assurance that holders of common stock will receive any additional cash, stock or other dividends on their shares of common stock until the Company has funds, which our board of directors determines can be allocated to dividends.

INTERNAL POLITICAL RISKS

Changes in laws and regulations, or their interpretation, or the imposition of confiscatory taxation, restrictions on currency conversion, imports and sources of supply, devaluations of currency or the nationalization or other expropriation of private enterprises could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition. Under its current leadership, the Chinese government has been pursuing economic reform policies that encourage private economic activity and greater economic decentralization. There is no assurance, however, that the Chinese government will continue to pursue these policies, or that it will not significantly alter these policies from time to time without notice. In addition, the Chinese government could enact laws which restrict or prohibit the Company from conducting its surety and loan guarantees.

RISKS RELATED TO LIMITATIONS ON THE LIABILITY OF OUR DIRECTORS TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS

Our articles of incorporation provide, as permitted by governing Nevada law, thatensure our directors shall not be personally liable to our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty asand executive officers file on a director, with certain exceptions. Our bylaws require us to provide mandatory indemnification of directors to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law, except for matters arising under the securities laws of the United States. Further, we may elect to adopt forms of indemnification agreements to cover directors and officers. These provisions and agreements may discourage shareholders from bringing suit against a director for breach of fiduciary duty and may reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation brought by shareholders on behalf of us against a director.timely basis in 2022.

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH PAYMENT SECURITIES

To the extent the Company receives Payment Securities as payment for the performance of investment banking services, the financial status of the Company will be affected by the volatility of these securities for as long as they are held by the Company. You may lose money on your investment in the Company if the value of the Payment Securities declines. The risks affecting the value of the Payment Securities are described below:
MARKET RISK

Stock prices are volatile. Market risk refers to the risk that the value of Payment Securities in the Company’s portfolio may decline due to daily fluctuations in the securities markets generally. The Company’s financial performance will change periodically based on many factors that may generally affect the stock market, including fluctuation in interest rates, national and international economic conditions and general equity market conditions. In a declining stock market, stock prices for all companies (including those in the Company’s portfolio) may decline, regardless of their long-term prospects.
SMALL COMPANY RISK

The Company may hold Payment Securities of smaller companies. Stocks of smaller companies may have more risks than those of larger companies. In general, smaller companies have less experienced management teams, serve smaller markets, and find it more difficult to obtain financing for growth or potential development than larger companies. Due to these and other factors, small companies may be more susceptible to market downturns, and their stock prices may be more volatile than those of larger companies.

BUSINESS AND SECTOR RISK

From time to time, a particular set of circumstances may affect a particular industry or certain companies within an industry, while having little or no impact on other industries or other companies within the industry. For instance, economic or market factors; regulation or deregulation; and technological or other developments may negatively impact all companies in a particular industry. To the extent the Company invests heavily in a particular industry that experiences such a negative impact, the Company’s portfolio will be adversely affected.

INTEREST RATE RISK

Increases in interest rates typically lower the present value of a company’s future earnings stream. Since the market price of a stock changes continuously based upon investors’ collective perceptions of future earnings, stock prices will generally decline when investors anticipate or experience rising interest rates.

ISSUER RISK

The value of an individual security or particular type of security can be more volatile than the market as a whole and can perform differently from the value of the market as a whole.

WE DEPEND ON THE RELIABILITY OF OUR SERVICES.
As a member of the service industry, the Company is dependent upon the reliability of its consulting advice. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to provide reliable services. Even though the Company is a unique niche services firm, there is no guarantee that other investment advisory firms will not copy or follow the Company’s unique services. If a competitor starts to copy our unique services, which is possible, management believes that it will face more intense competition than before.
WE DEPEND UPON KEY MEMBERS OF MANAGEMENT, THE LOSS OF ANY OF WHOM WOULD NEGATIVELY IMPACT OUR BUSINESS.
The implementation of our business plan relies on key members of the management team and sales, marketing, and finance personnel. There is no guarantee that these employees will continue to work for the Company. In addition, there is no guarantee that the Company will be able to replace these employees with personnel of similar caliber should they not be able to work, or decide not to work for the Company.
WE HAVE A SHAREHOLDERS’ DEFICIT OF $613,856 AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2016 AND HAVE RECEIVED AN OPINION FROM OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM REGARDING SUBSTANATIAL DOUBT ABOUT OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN.
We have history of operating losses. As of December 31, 2016, shareholders’ deficit is $613,856. These losses have resulted principally from expenses incurred for general and administrative, payroll and interest. 2011 is the first year we had profit. No assurances can be given as to whether we will continue to be profitable.
Our independent registered public accounting firm has added an explanatory paragraph to their report of independent registered public accounting firm issued in connection with the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 relative to the substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to obtain additional funding will determine our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
OUR BUSINESS AND GROWTH WILL SUFFER IF WE ARE UNABLE TO HIRE AND RETAIN KEY PERSONNEL THAT ARE IN HIGH DEMAND.
Our future success depends on our ability to attract and retain highly skilled personnel.  In general, qualified individuals are in high demand in China, and there are insufficient experienced personnel to fill the demand.  If we are unable to successfully attract or retain the personnel we need to succeed, we will be unable to implement our business plan.
WE HAVE LIMITED BUSINESS INSURANCE COVERAGE.
The insurance industry in China is still at an early stage of development. Insurance companies in China offer limited business insurance products, and do not, to our knowledge, offer business liability insurance. As a result, we do not have any business liability insurance coverage for our operations. Moreover, while business disruption insurance is available, we have determined that the risks of disruption and cost of the insurance are such that we do not require it at this time. Any business disruption, litigation or natural disaster might result in substantial costs and diversion of resources.

The Company’s common stock began trading on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (“OTC-BB”) on January 20, 2010 under the symbol “ASAE”.  As of April 14, 2017, there has been limited trading volume.  
HOLDERS OF RECORD
On December 31, 2016, the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock totaled 14,445,363 shares, held by approximately 150 shareholders of record and by indeterminate number of additional shareholders through nominee or street name accounts with brokers.
DIVIDENDS
The Company has not paid dividends in prior years and has no plans to pay dividends in the near future. The Company intends to reinvest its earnings on the continued development and operation of its business. Any payment of dividends would depend upon the Company’s pattern of growth, profitability, financial condition, and such other factors, as the Board of Directors may deem relevant.
PENNY STOCK
The Company’s securities are subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s “penny stock” rules. The penny stock rules may affect the ability of owners of the Company’s shares to sell them. There may be a limited market for penny stocks due to the regulatory burdens on broker-dealers. The market among dealers may not be active. Investments in penny stocks often are unable to sell stock back to the dealer that sold them the stock. The mark-ups or commissions charged by the broker-dealers might be greater than any profit an investor may make. Because of large spreads that market makers quote, investors may be unable to sell the stock immediately back to the dealer at the same price the dealer sold the stock to the investor.
The Company’s securities are also subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission rule that imposes special sales practice requirements upon broker-dealers that sell such securities to other than established customers or accredited investors. For purposes of the rule, the phrase “accredited investor” means, in general terms, institutions with assets exceeding $5,000,000 or individuals having net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or having an annual income that exceeds $200,000 (or that, combined with a spouse’s income, exceeds $300,000). For transactions covered by the rule, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction prior to the sale. Consequently, the rule may affect the ability of purchasers of the Company’s securities to buy or sell in any market.

OVERVIEW
ASAP Expo’s (“ASAP” or “The Company” or “Our” or “We”) mission is to be the bridge between China and the Western world. ASAP is a company that assists Chinese institutional and high net worth individuals with acquisition advisory and asset management of U.S. hotels.
Our investors include AVIC International USA, Junson Capital, Urban Commons, Sky Harbor Management, Shenzhen New World, American Curvet, and USA Heritage.
From August 2010 until now, our group has provided consulting services regarding purchasing 20 hotels primarily in California, Florida, Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, New Jersey and Michigan. Hotel brands include Marriott, Hilton, Westin, Doubletree by Hilton, Four Points by Sheraton, and Holiday Inn. We are one of the most active hotel buyers in the market.

ASAP believes we will continue this growth for the next couple of years, taking advantage of current below replacement cost assets with reasonable cap rates and value-added opportunities in the current U.S. hotel market.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Revenues
Since the Company’s primary business is based upon potential transactions in real estate, the Company is subject to variances in revenues due to investors’ sentiment towards real estate.
Substantially all of our revenues are in the form of consulting fees collected from our clients, usually negotiated on a transaction-by-transaction basis. The Company’s consulting fees primarily consist of revenue derived from transaction commission received from acquisition advisory. The Company earns the consulting fees by sourcing the deal, underwriting financials, coordinating due diligence on all contracts, recommending lenders, hiring third party property management companies, and negotiating franchise agreements. Another revenue source for the Company includes asset management fees, which consist of supervision of daily, weekly, and monthly operating results of the hotel, review of capital expenditure requests, communication with lenders, negotiating personal and real property tax assessments, and most importantly, oversight on brand relations.
The Company’s clients include concentration of two to three main clients. Our concentration of clients does provide a risk for revenue growth. The Company has established strong relationships with our clients. Our business and client relationships, and our culture and philosophy are firmly centered on putting the clients’ interests first. We have been building strong reputation in the hospitality industry which is bringing several new potential clients. We expect to have steady revenue streams from our two major clients while building a new client base for future revenue growth. We believe that our deep knowledge of the hospitality industry, asset management services, client diversification, expertise in a property types and national sourcing deals platform have the potential to create a sustainable revenue stream within the U.S. commercial real estate sector.
During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company earned consulting fee of $1,715,522 including $1,267,072 from affiliated companies, as compared to consulting fee of $2,119,332 for the same period last year of which $1,076,118 were from affiliated companies. The decrease in consulting fee in 2016 was mainly because the Company closed two hotel acquisition deals versus three in year 2015. 
Cost of Sales 
In the course of providing real estate advisory services and asset management services, the Company pays consulting fees for finding properties and other services that facilitate the closing of deals.  

Cost of sales consisting mainly consulting expense, is primarily the result of the commissions and other incentive compensation incurred directly related to acquisition advisory services. Therefore, the fluctuation in revenue may directly impact the cost of sales.
For the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company incurred consulting expenses of $817,297 for providing advisory services in real estate acquisition as compared to $1,157,757 incurred in the same period last year. The lower consulting expenses were mainly because the Company closed fewer hotel acquisition deals, and accordingly incurred lower consulting expenses related to the acquisition.
Operating Expenses
General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses consist primarily of administrative personnel costs, facilities expenses, and professional fee expenses.
For the year ended December 31, 2016, G&A expenses increased by $176,676 or 29.1% to $784,778 as compared to $608,102 for the same period last year. The increase was mainly due to higher marketing expense for new hotel deals, higher payroll and related employee benefits as one officer and one new staff were added to the payroll, higher staff expenses and a new auto lease, partly offset by lower professional fees.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was largely flat at $22,128 during the year ended December 31, 2016 as compared to $21,243 for the same period last year.
Net Income
The Company recorded a net income of $57,858 for the year ended December 31, 2016, as compared to a net income of $260,480 for the same period last year. The decrease in net income was mainly due to the lower gross profit and higher G&A expenses, offset by lower income taxes provision.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the next twelve months, ASAP Expo will focus on its real estate transactions to generate additional revenue. With the net revenue from its services, and continuing support from its major shareholders to provide a note payable, management believes ASAP Expo will have enough net working capital to sustain its business for another 12 months.
The forecast of the period of time through which ASAP Expo’s financial resources will be adequate to support its operations is a forward-looking statement that involves risks and uncertainties. ASAP Expo’s actual funding requirements may differ materially as a result of a number of factors, including unknown expenses associated with the cost of providing real estate advisory, investment banking, and management consulting services.

The Report of the Company’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm on our December 31, 2016 financial statements includes an explanatory paragraph stating that the Company has negative working capital  and has not generated enough revenues to cover its operating expenses, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Operating Activities

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2016, net cash used in operating activities was $57,775. This was primarily due to a net income of $57,858, adjusted by non-cash related expenses of depreciation of $10,474, then decreased by unfavorable changes in working capital of $126,107. The unfavorable changes in working capital resulted from a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $107,986 and decrease in income tax payable of $18,121.

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2015, net cash provided by operating activities was $261,607. This was primarily due to a net income of $260,480, adjusted by non-cash related expenses of depreciation of $8,038, then increased by unfavorable changes in working capital of $6,911. The unfavorable changes in working capital mainly resulted from a decrease in income tax payable of $60,903, offset by decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $53,992.

Investing Activities

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2016, net cash provided by investing activities was $84,040. This was primarily due to payment from affiliated companies of $87,695, offset by acquisition of a computer of $3,655.

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2015, net cash used in investing activities was $124,986. This was primarily due to acquisitions of property and equipment of $27,542 and an advance to affiliated companies of $97,444.

Financing activities

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2016, net cash used in financing activities was $40,176 which was mainly resulted from net payment to note payable from officers of $30,000, offset by payments on auto loan of $4,905 and payments on equipment loan of $5,271.

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2015, net cash used in financing activities was $131,369 which was mainly resulted from repayment to affiliated company of $64,156, net payment to note payable from officers of $62,716 and payments on auto loan of $4,497.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in the our financial statements and the accompanying notes. The amounts of assets and liabilities reported on our balance sheet and the amounts of revenues and expenses reported for each of our fiscal periods are affected by estimates and assumptions, which are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for revenue recognition, stock based compensation and the valuation of deferred taxes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The following critical accounting policies are significantly affected by judgments, assumptions and estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements:
Revenue Recognition
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605, “Revenue Recognition” outlines the basic criteria that must be met to recognize revenue and provide guidance for presentation of revenue and for disclosure related to revenue recognition policies in financial statements filed with Securities and Exchange Commission. Management believes the Company’s revenue recognition policies conform to ASC 605.   
Revenues are mainly consulting fees. The Consulting fees are recognized when work is complete and service has been provided.  Consulting fees subject to refund are recorded as deferred revenue until the project is completed and the fees are no longer refundable. 


Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Under ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Management provides a valuation allowance for significant deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that such asset will not be recovered.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs”. The accounting guidance requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be reported on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. The guidance is effective for the Company retrospectively beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this accounting guidance is not expected to have any material impact on the Company’s Statements of Financial Condition.

In November 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Updates ASU No. 2015-17, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes” (“ASU 2015-17”). The FASB issued ASU 2015-17 as part of its ongoing Simplification Initiative, with the objective of reducing complexity in accounting standards. The amendments in ASU 2015-17 require entities that present a classified balance sheet to classify all deferred tax liabilities and assets as a noncurrent amount. This guidance does not change the offsetting requirements for deferred tax liabilities and assets, which results in the presentation of one amount on the balance sheet. Additionally, the amendments in this ASU align the deferred income tax presentation with the requirements in International Accounting Standards (IAS) 1, Presentation of Financial Statements.  The amendments in ASU 2015-17 are effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company is currently reviewing the provisions of this ASU 2015-17 to determine if there will be any impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Updates ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 requires an entity to recognize assets and liabilities arising from a lease for both financing and operating leases. ASU 2016-02 will also require new qualitative and quantitative disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently reviewing the provisions of this ASU 2016-02 to determine if there will be any impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ASU 2016-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting”. The objective of the simplification initiative is to identify, evaluate, and improve areas of US GAAP for which cost and complexity can be reduced while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to users of financial statements. The areas for simplification involve several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. Amendments related to the timing of when excess tax benefits are recognized, minimum statutory withholding requirements, forfeitures, and intrinsic value should be applied using a modified retrospective transition method by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity as of the beginning of the period in which the guidance is adopted. ASU 2016-09 will be effective for public companies for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is assessing the impact to its accounting practices and financial reporting procedures as a result of the issuance of this standard.

In August 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments”. The updated guidance aims to reduce diversity in presentation and classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments by addressing eight specific cash flow issues including (1) Debt Prepayment or Debt Extinguishment Costs; (2) Settlement of Zero-Coupon Debt Instruments or Other Debt Instruments with Coupon Interest Rates That Are Insignificant in Relation to the Effective Interest Rate of the Borrowing; (3) Contingent Consideration Payments Made after a Business Combination; (4) Proceeds from the Settlement of Insurance Claims; (5) Proceeds from the Settlement of Corporate-Owned Life Insurance Policies, including Bank-Owned Life Insurance Policies; (6) Distributions Received from Equity Method Investees; (7) Beneficial Interests in Securitization Transactions and (8) Separately Identifiable Cash Flows and Application of the Predominance Principle. Among the afore-mentioned eight addressed cash flow issues, the category of “Separately Identifiable Cash Flows and Application of the Predominance Principle” requires a reporting entity to classify cash receipts and payments that have aspects of more than one class of cash flows first by applying specific guidance in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and, only in the absence of specific guidance, by determining each separately identifiable source or use within the cash receipts and cash payments on the basis of the nature of the underlying cash flows. In situations in which cash receipts and payments have aspects of more than one class of cash flows and cannot be separated by source or use, a reporting entity should classify such cash receipts and cash payments by referring to the predominant source or use of cash flows for the item.

Evaluation of and Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Mr. Nisan

Mr. Haller

On January 25, 2021, the Company issued a press release announcing it had entered into a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding to acquire ChargeSavvy LLC, a financial technology company specializing in payment processing and POS systems, for total consideration of up to $52 million in restricted shares of the Company’s common stock with $31 million.

The following are certain transactions between the Company and the Haller Companies:

Sky Financial & Intelligence, LLC – Haller owns 100% of Sky Financial & Intelligence LLC (“Sky”), a Wyoming limited liability company, and serves as its sole Managing Member. Sky is a strategic merchant services company that focuses on high risk merchants and international credit card processing solutions. In 2018, Sky was using GreenBox’s QuickCard payment system as its main payment processing infrastructure, through Sky’s relationship with MTrac. It was through this successful relationship, that we came to know Haller and the Haller Network. Realizing that the Haller Network and Haller’s unique skill set was highly complementary to our business objectives, we commenced discussions to retain Haller through his consulting firm, Sky, for a senior role, directly responsible for growing GreenBox’s operations. Subsequently, in November 2018, Haller was appointed as our Senior Vice President of Payment Systems, for a monthly consulting fee of $10,000, paid to Sky (“Haller Consulting Fee”).  The Company did not pay any commissions to the related parties mentioned above for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

The Company recognized net revenue of $13,130,482 from outside third-party merchants through independent sales organization (ISO), Sky, for the year ended December 31, 2012.  The Company had accounts receivables of $6,540,027 from outside third-party merchants through Sky as of December 31, 2021 which have since been received.   Net revenue through Sky for the year ended December 31, 2020 was not material.

On March 31, 2022, the Company entered into and closed an asset purchase agreement with Sky Financial to purchase a portfolio of certain merchant accounts. The asset purchase required $16.0 million of initial cash payment at closing. The Company will also issue to Sky Financial 500,000 shares of common stock (issuance still pending as of April 27, 2022). As of March 31, 2022, Mr. Haller is no longer an employee of the Company.

Charge Savvy, LLC – Sky owns 68.4% of Charge Savvy, LLC (“Charge Savvy”), an Illinois limited liability company. Haller serves as one of three Managing Members of Charge Savvy, along with Higher Ground Capital, LLC (owns 14%), and Jeff Nickel (owns 17.4%). As a result of the Purchase Agreement, the Company purchased all of Charge Savvy’s issued and outstanding membership interests and Charge Savvy became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The purchase price under the Purchase Agreement for the all-stock transaction consisted of 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock being issued and delivered to the Sellers in proportion to the Sellers’ share of their membership interests in Charge Savvy. The share price at issuance was $12.14.

The Company did not pay any commissions to the related parties mentioned above for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. 

Ms. Hogan

Ms. Hogan joined the Board on April 4, 2022. Ms. Hogan has been a Partner and Co-Chair of the Corporate and Securities Practice Group at Lucosky Bookman LLP since March 2021.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To The Board of Directors and Stockholders of
ASAP Expo Inc.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of ASAP Expo Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2016, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 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. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of ASAP Expo Inc. as of December 31, 2016, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has negative working capital and has not generated revenues to cover operating expenses.  These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to this matter are also described in Note 1.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has had a stockholders’ deficit of $671,113 since inception. These conditions, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 1, which includes the raising of additional equity financing or merger with another entity. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
ORGANIZATION
ASAP Expo, Inc. (“ASAP Expo” or the “Company”) d.b.a. ASAP International Holdings, was incorporated on April 10, 2007 under the laws of the State of Nevada.
ASAP Expo is a company that operates commercial real estate consulting for Chinese Institutions and high net worth individuals. Our mission is to be the bridge between China and the Western world.
ASAP Commercial Real Estate division advisory provides Chinese institutions and high net worth individuals with all real estate related services focusing on hospitality including acquisition advisory, financing, asset management, and strategic repositioning.
On the hospitality acquisition side, we represent buyers at all stages of the process, from advice on selection of brands, location, opportunity sourcing and due diligence to securing debt financing. Our clients have the advantage of our local market knowledge and contacts in capital markets around the globe, as well as our deep experience in real estate strategy and management.
Prior to July 2011, the investment banking services division was the core business of ASAP Expo. ASAP Expo helped small and medium sized businesses raise funds and promote business through capital markets.
In July 2011, ASAP Expo transitioned its core business to providing real estate advisory services from investment banking advisory services for Chinese companies.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, cash on deposit with banks, and highly liquid debt investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased. The Company has no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.
At December 31, 2016 and 2015 , the Company had a stockholders’ deficit of $613,856 and $671,714, respectively , and a negative working capital of $48,827 and $387,196, respectively , which mainly resulted from the accumulated deficit of its former parent company that was transferred to the Company upon its spin-off from the parent company, and a lack of profitable operating history. The Company hopes to increase revenues from its real estate business and financial advisory services business. In the absence of significant increases in revenues, the Company intends to fund operations through additional debt and equity financing arrangements. The successful outcome of future activities cannot be determined at this time and there are no assurances that if achieved, the Company will have sufficient funds to execute its intended business plan or generate positive operating results.
The Company’s success is dependent upon numerous items, certain of which are the successful growth of revenues from its services and its ability to obtain new customers in order to achieve levels of revenues adequate to support the Company’s current and future cost structure, for which there is no assurance. Unanticipated problems, expenses, and delays are frequently encountered in establishing and maintaining profitable operations. These include, but are not limited to, competition, the need to develop customer support capabilities and market expertise, technical difficulties, market acceptance and sales and marketing. The failure of the Company to meet any of these conditions could have a materially adverse effect on the Company and may force the Company to reduce or curtail operations. No assurance can be given that the Company can achieve or maintain profitable operations.
The Company believes it will have adequate cash to sustain operations until it achieves sustained profitability. However, until the Company has a history of maintaining revenue levels sufficient to support its operations and repay its working capital deficit, the Company may require additional financing. Sources of financing could include capital infusions, additional equity financing or debt offerings. There can be no assurance that funding will be available on acceptable terms, if at all, or that such fund, if raised, would enable the Company to achieve or sustain profitable operations.
These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, prepaid expenses and other receivables, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and due to/from affiliated company.  The fair value of these financial instruments approximate their carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets due to the short term maturity of these instruments.

Fair Value Measurements
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 - Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
Level 3 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
The Company’s financial instruments consisted of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, advances to due to or from affiliated companies, notes payable to officers.  The estimated fair value of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, due to or from affiliated companies, and notes payable approximates its carrying amount due to the short maturity of these instruments.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with the 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.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605, Revenue Recognition which outlines the basic criteria that must be met to recognize revenue and provide guidance for presentation of revenue and for disclosure related to revenue recognition policies in financial statements filed with Securities and Exchange Commission. Management believes the Company’s revenue recognition policies conform to ASC 605. 
Revenues are mainly consulting fees. The consulting fees are recognized when work is completed and the service has been performed .  Consulting fees from real estate advisory services that are subject to refund are recorded as deferred revenue until the project is completed and the fees are no longer refundable.
INCOME TAXES
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred income taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements, net of operating loss carry forwards and credits, by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years.  Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is not more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized.  Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws of the relevant taxing authorities.
EARNINGS PER SHARE
A basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the year. Dilutive earnings per share include the effect of any potentially dilutive debt or equity under the treasury stock method, if including such instruments is dilutive.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs”. The accounting guidance requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be reported on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. The guidance is effective for the Company retrospectively beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this accounting guidance is not expected to have any material impact on the Company’s Statements of Financial Condition.

In November 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Updates ASU No. 2015-17, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes” (“ASU 2015-17”). The FASB issued ASU 2015-17 as part of its ongoing Simplification Initiative, with the objective of reducing complexity in accounting standards. The amendments in ASU 2015-17 require entities that present a classified balance sheet to classify all deferred tax liabilities and assets as a noncurrent amount. This guidance does not change the offsetting requirements for deferred tax liabilities and assets, which results in the presentation of one amount on the balance sheet. Additionally, the amendments in this ASU align the deferred income tax presentation with the requirements in International Accounting Standards (IAS) 1, Presentation of Financial Statements.  The amendments in ASU 2015-17 are effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company is currently reviewing the provisions of this ASU 2015-17 to determine if there will be any impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Updates ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 requires an entity to recognize assets and liabilities arising from a lease for both financing and operating leases. ASU 2016-02 will also require new qualitative and quantitative disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently reviewing the provisions of this ASU 2016-02 to determine if there will be any impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ASU 2016-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting”. The objective of the simplification initiative is to identify, evaluate, and improve areas of US GAAP for which cost and complexity can be reduced while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to users of financial statements. The areas for simplification involve several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. Amendments related to the timing of when excess tax benefits are recognized, minimum statutory withholding requirements, forfeitures, and intrinsic value should be applied using a modified retrospective transition method by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity as of the beginning of the period in which the guidance is adopted. ASU 2016-09 will be effective for public companies for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is assessing the impact to its accounting practices and financial reporting procedures as a result of the issuance of this standard.

In August 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments”. The updated guidance aims to reduce diversity in presentation and classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments by addressing eight specific cash flow issues including (1) Debt Prepayment or Debt Extinguishment Costs; (2) Settlement of Zero-Coupon Debt Instruments or Other Debt Instruments with Coupon Interest Rates That Are Insignificant in Relation to the Effective Interest Rate of the Borrowing; (3) Contingent Consideration Payments Made after a Business Combination; (4) Proceeds from the Settlement of Insurance Claims; (5) Proceeds from the Settlement of Corporate-Owned Life Insurance Policies, including Bank-Owned Life Insurance Policies; (6) Distributions Received from Equity Method Investees; (7) Beneficial Interests in Securitization Transactions and (8) Separately Identifiable Cash Flows and Application of the Predominance Principle. Among the afore-mentioned eight addressed cash flow issues, the category of “Separately Identifiable Cash Flows and Application of the Predominance Principle” requires a reporting entity to classify cash receipts and payments that have aspects of more than one class of cash flows first by applying specific guidance in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and, only in the absence of specific guidance, by determining each separately identifiable source or use within the cash receipts and cash payments on the basis of the nature of the underlying cash flows. In situations in which cash receipts and payments have aspects of more than one class of cash flows and cannot be separated by source or use, a reporting entity should classify such cash receipts and cash payments by referring to the predominant source or use of cash flows for the item. The updated guidance is effective from reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is assessing the impact to its accounting practices and financial reporting procedures as a result of the issuance of this standard.

As of December 31, 2016, there are no recently issued accounting standards not yet adopted that would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Each payment date, the Company will pay at least the “Total Amount Due” that is displayed on the monthly bill. The Total Amount Due will be the sum of all past due amounts plus the “Current Monthly Payment” that will be displayed on the monthly bill. Current Monthly Payments will be calculated as follows: the amount of kWh produced for the preceding month by the system; multiplied by the applicable agreed Equivalent Rate per kWh. The “Equivalent Rate per kWh” is based upon 5 factors: 1) the loan balance (which includes any accrued interest); 2) the Loan Term; 3) the applicable APR; 4) the expected production of the system; and 5) 2.50 % kWh annual rate escalator. The expected production of the system is an estimate, the actual payments could be higher or lower depending on the actual production from the system.

Estimated future Current Monthly Payments are as follows:

For the Year Ended December 31:   
2017 $690
