DBUB GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2018 AND 2017

Note 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements (consolidated financial statements) were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these interim financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. All adjustments (consisting of normal recurring items) necessary to present fairly the Company’s consolidated financial position have been included. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. Operating results for the interim periods presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year. Reclassifications have been made to conform historical financial statements with the current period’s presentation.
The parent company does not have operations. Its main activities were incurring expenses relating to its status as a public company in the United States.
Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company realized a net loss from continuing operations of $336,750. The Company generated no revenue from continuing operations and requires significant funding for its operations with no assurance as to its ability to obtain the funding on reasonable, if any, terms. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $37,673,132 as of September 30, 2018. There can be no assurance that the Company will become profitable or obtain necessary financing for its business or that it will be able to continue in business. During the three months ended September 30, 2018, related parties, including the Company’s chief executive officer, made short-term loans to the in the amount of $4,900,127, most of which was repaid in the fourth quarter of 2018. These issues raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. The consolidated results of operations and consolidated financial condition of Capital is reflected as net gain from discontinued operations, and the assets and liabilities of the discontinued operations at December 31, 2017 are reflected as current and non-current assets and liabilities of the Company’s discontinued operations. All material intercompany accounts, transactions and profits were eliminated in consolidation.
Noncontrolling Interest
Before May 22, 2018, Capital had invested RMB 6,193,541($898,852) in Zhejiang Lamapai and owned 64.9% interest in Zhejiang Lamapai. The 35.1% owned by the third parties is presented as non-controlling interest. The transfer of the equity in Capital. Capital includes Capital’s equity interest in Zhejiang Lamapai. At September 30, 2018, the Company did not have any non-controlling interest.
The Company follows Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810, “Consolidation,” which governs the accounting for and reporting of non-controlling interests in partially owned consolidated subsidiaries and the loss of control of subsidiaries. Certain provisions of this standard indicate, among other things, that non-controlling interests be treated as a separate component of equity, not as a liability, that increases and decreases in the parent’s ownership interest that leave control intact be treated as equity transactions rather than as step acquisitions or dilution gains or losses, and that losses of a partially owned consolidated subsidiary be allocated to the non-controlling interest even when such allocation might result in a deficit balance. This standard also required changes to certain presentation and disclosure requirements.
The net income attributed to the non-controlling interest is separately designated in the accompanying consolidated statements of income and other comprehensive income (loss). Losses attributable to the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary may exceed the non-controlling interest’s interests in the subsidiary’s equity. The excess attributable to the non-controlling interest is attributed to those interests. The non-controlling interest attributed its share of losses even if that attribution resulted in a deficit non-controlling interest balance.
Currency Translation
The reporting currency of the Company is the United States dollar. The accounts of Huantai were maintained, and its financial statements were expressed RMB and the accounts of DBUB Pte Singapore dollars (SGD), which are the respective functional currency of the subsidiaries. Our financial statements were translated into United States dollars in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 830-10, ”Foreign Currency Translation,” with the RMB and SGD as the functional currency. According to FASB ASC Topic 830-10, assets and liabilities were translated at the ending exchange rate, stockholders’ equity is translated at the historical rates and income statement items are translated at the average exchange rate for the year. The resulting translation adjustments are reported as other comprehensive income in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 220, ”Reporting Comprehensive Income,” as a component of shareholders’ equity. Transaction gains and losses are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
The impact of foreign translation from our accounts in RMB and SGD to United States dollars on the Company’s operating results was not material in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017. During the translation process, the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries are translated into US dollars at period-end exchange rates. The revenues and expenses are translated into United States dollars at average exchange rates of the periods. Resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income within stockholders’ equity.

Transaction gains or losses arising from exchange rate fluctuation on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency were included in the consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. As a result of the translation, the Company recorded a foreign currency gain of $13,229 in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and a loss of $143,326 in the 2017 period, and a foreign currency gain of $12,922 and a loss of $71,063 for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US 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.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company is subject to risks from, among other things, intense competition associated with the industry in general, other risks associated with financing, liquidity requirements, rapidly changing customer tastes and requirements, limited operating history, foreign currency exchange rates and the volatility of public markets as well as other risks associated with the restaurant and related industries.
Contingencies
Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which could 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 unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company’s management evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted 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 is 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.
Long-Lived Assets
The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used in accordance with FASB ASC 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment,” which requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amounts. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the long-lived assets. Losses on long-lived assets to be disposed of are determined in a similar manner, except that fair market values are reduced for the cost of disposal. Based on its review, the Company believes that, as of September 30, 2018 (unaudited) and December 31, 2017, there were no significant impairments of its long-lived assets not related to the discontinued operations.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
FASB ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments,” requires the Company disclose estimated fair values (“fair values”) of financial instruments. The carrying amounts reported in the statements of financial position for current assets and current liabilities qualifying as financial instruments are a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Under Topic 606, revenue is recognized when there is a contract which has commercial substance which is approved by both parties and identifies the rights of the parties and the payment terms. The Company adopted Topic 606 as of January 1, 2018. Because all of the Company’s prior operations are discontinued and was disposed of on May 22, 2018, the adoption of Topic 606 does not affect the Company’s prior operations.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales consists of actual product cost, which is the purchase price of the product less any discounts. Cost of sales excludes freight charges, purchase and delivery costs, internal transfer, freight charges and the other costs of the Company’s distribution network, which are identified in general and administrative expenses.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses are comprised principally of payroll and benefits costs for corporate employees, occupancy costs of corporate facilities, lease expenses, management fees, traveling expenses and other operating and administrative expenses, including freight charges, purchase and delivery costs, internal transfer freight charges and other distribution costs.
Share Based Payment
The Company follows FASB ASC 718-10,“Stock Compensation,” which addresses the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services, with a primary focus on transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. ASC 718-10 requires measurement of the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). Incremental compensation costs arising from subsequent modifications of awards after the grant date must be recognized.
Income Taxes
The Company utilizes FASB ASC Topic 740,“Income Taxes.” Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) per Share
Earnings (loss) per share are calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share,” Basic earnings (loss) per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (losses) per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. 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. If convertible shares and stock options are anti-dilutive, the impact of conversion is not included in the diluted net income per share. Excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for 2018 and 2017 were warrants to purchase 257,507 shares of common stock because the inclusion of such warrants would have been anti-dilutive.
Statement of Cash Flows
In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 230, “Statement of Cash Flows,” cash flows from the Company’s operations are calculated based upon the functional currency, in our case the RMB and SGD. As a result, amounts related to changes in assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree with the changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet. Following the disposal of the discontinued operations, cash from operations, investing and financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 is net of the effect of such disposal.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are cash, accounts receivable, advances to suppliers and other receivables arising from its normal business activities. The Company places its cash in what it believes to be credit-worthy financial institutions. Since the Company has not generated any revenues or commenced operations in its continuing business, the Company cannot evaluate the risk of a concentration of credit risk.
Segment Reporting
FASB ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” requires use of the “management approach” model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company’s management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other manner in which management disaggregates a company. Following the Company’s disposal of its existing business, the Company has one operating segment, the restaurant business, which has not generated any revenues through September 30, 2018.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07,“Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” These amendments expand the scope of Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation (which currently only includes share-based payments to employees) to include share-based payments issued to nonemployees for goods or services. Consequently, the accounting for share-based payments to nonemployees and employees will be substantially aligned. The ASU supersedes Subtopic 505-50, Equity—Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees. ASU 2018-07 is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. The Company does not currently expect the adoption to have any significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
The Company has reviewed all other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and does not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Overview
From 2007 until the first quarter of 2017, we were engaged in the resale and distribution of third party products such as mobile phones, facsimile machines, DVD players, stereos, speakers, MP3 and MP4 players, iPods, electronic dictionaries, CD players and audio systems. As a result of declining sales and continuing losses, we discontinued this business. We had previously imported into China digital products, baby products, health nutrition and frozen food products, but this business was discontinued prior to December 31, 2017.
On February 15, 2018, our directors and officers resigned and we brought in new management and changed our business. We plan to open, manage and operate upscale restaurants and license our restaurants to restaurant operators. We may also enter into agreements with licensees pursuant to which our wholly-owned subsidiary, DB-Link Ltd, and the licensee would invest in the restaurant. Our business plan contemplates that DB-Link will have a majority interest in the joint venture entity that operates the restaurants, DB-Link will manage the restaurants for which it will receive a management fee, DB-Link will establish a restaurant business related training school to train chefs and wait staff, and DB-Link will operate its own online restaurant supplies store to service the restaurants we own or license. However, we cannot assure you that we will be able to open and operate restaurants or enter into license agreements with qualified licensees or the terms of any license or management agreement.
In furtherance of our plan to engage in the upscale restaurant business, on April 3, 2018, DB-Link entered into an agreement dated March 16, 2018, with Alvin Leung, regarding brand cooperation and the catering business in the initial territory of mainland China. The agreement provides that Mr. Leung will exclusively work with DB-Link in the initial territory and will provide DB-Link with the brand names of “Bo” and “Daimon” in the initial territory, and he granted DB-Link a first right of cooperation before seeking similar cooperation with other third parties in Canada, Hong Kong and Europe. DB-Link’s business will be operated by joint venture entities in which DB-Link will hold a 66% equity interest and Mr. Leung a 34% interest. In addition, DB-Link will pay Mr. Leung RMB 800,000 (approximately $127,000), half of which was paid with the balance being payable in 2019.
In view of our desire to disengage in our former business, on March 29, 2018, we entered into an agreement with Zhenggang Wang, who was a director, chief executive officer and chairman of the board of the Company until his resignation on February 1, 2018, pursuant to which we sold to Mr. Wang all of the stock in our wholly-owned subsidiary, Capital Future Development Limited (“Capital”), a British Virgin Islands company, for the transfer by Mr. Wang to us of 1,738,334 shares of our common stock, which represents all of the common stock owned by Mr. Wang. All of our consolidated liabilities at December 31, 2017 were liabilities of Capital and its subsidiaries, with the result that subsequent to the transfer of the equity in Capital, the liabilities of Capital ceased to be our liabilities. The shares acquired by us were cancelled. All of our former business was conducted through Capital and its subsidiaries. The transfer of the stock of Capital was consummated in May 2018.
Following the transfer of the stock of Capital, we have three subsidiaries, DB-Link, Huantai and DBUB Pte. Our business will be conducted through Huantai and DBUB Pte. We anticipate we will have separate subsidiaries for the restaurants we own or operate although we may have one subsidiary owning more than one restaurant in a city.
On September 5, 2018, we changed our corporate name to DBUB Group Inc. through the merger of us with our wholly-owned subsidiary, DBUB Group Inc., a Nevada corporation.

Working Capital Requirements
With the change in our business, our working capital requirements relate to our proposed restaurant business. Before we can open any restaurant, we will require sufficient capital to cover our cash outlays before we generate revenue. These expenditures relate to finding an acceptable location, negotiating a lease and making the initial payments under the lease, making the leasehold improvements, including the purchase or lease of restaurant equipment, obtaining necessary permits, developing relationships with food suppliers and the media, and recruiting and training staff and payroll during the preopening period. Until we have demonstrated that we are able to operate an upscale restaurant profitable, we may have difficulty in obtaining the financing. It may be necessary for us to provide the financing source with an equity position in a restaurant, which would reduce our percentage interest in the restaurant. Our principal source of funds for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was loans from related parties, including our chief executive officer. The loans were due on demand with an interest of 2% per annum. During October 2019, we paid RMB 16,424,200 (approximately $2,380,318) to the related parties. To the extent that we have to raise funds through the sale of our equity securities, it would be necessary for us to issue equity at a discount from the market price, which could result in significant dilution to our stockholders. We do not have any agreement or understanding with any financing source and we cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain the funding required for any restaurant. To the extent that we are not able to obtain the necessary financing, we may not be able to open restaurants, which would severely impair our ability to operate profitably. We currently have no commitments from any financing sources. There is no assurance we will be able to raise any funds on terms favorable to us, or at all or that related parties will provide us with short-term financing to meet our immediate cash needs. In the event we issue shares of equity or convertible securities, the shares held by our existing stockholders would be diluted. Future expansion will be limited by the availability of financing products and raising capital.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which were prepared in accordance with US GAAP. The preparation of these requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
An accounting policy is considered to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimates are made, and if different estimates that reasonably could have been used, or changes in the accounting estimates that are reasonably likely to occur, could materially impact the consolidated financial statements. We believe the following critical accounting policies reflect the more significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
Our revenues were generated from sales of imported products from discontinued operation in the first quarter of 2018. All of our revenue transactions contain standard business terms and conditions. We determine the appropriate accounting for these transactions after considering (1) whether a contract exists; (2) when to recognize revenue on the deliverables; and (3) whether all elements of the contract have been fulfilled and delivered. In addition, our revenue recognition policy requires an assessment as to whether collection is reasonably assured, which inherently requires us to evaluate the creditworthiness of our customers. Changes in judgments on these assumptions and estimates could materially impact the timing or amount of revenue recognition.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Not applicable.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, our management conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2018, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of such date, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the material weakness in our internal controls identified in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated, recorded, processed, summarized, communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
As reported in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, management has determined that our internal audit our internal controls contains material weaknesses and identified the following material weaknesses: our inability to record transactions and provide disclosures in accordance with US GAAP. The current staff in our accounting department is inexperienced in US GAAP and needs substantial training to meet the demands of a United States public company. The accounting skills and understanding necessary to fulfill the requirements of US GAAP-based reporting, including the preparation of financial statements and consolidation, are inadequate.
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the first quarter of 2018 covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
