FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS: NO ASSURANCES INTENDED
This Report contains certain forward-looking statements regarding USA Zhimingde International Group Corporation, its business and financial prospects. These statements represent Management’s best estimate of what will happen. Nevertheless, there are numerous risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ dramatically from the results suggested in this Report. Among the more significant risks are:
| · | We have no business operations and have no assets. Unless the Company obtains additional capital or acquires an operating company, the Company will not be able to undertake significant business activities. |
| · | The Company’s business plan contemplates that it will acquire an operating company in exchange for common stock. If that occurs, management will determine the nature of the company that is acquired, which is likely to be a company with which management has a pre-existing relationship. Investors in the Company will have to rely on the business acumen of management in determining that the acquisition is in the best interest of the Company. If management lacks sufficient skill to operate successfully, the Company’s shares may lose value. |
Because these and other risks may cause the Company’s actual results to differ from those anticipated by Management, the reader should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements that appear in this Report.
PART 1
Item 1. Business
USA Zhimingde International Group Corporation (the “Company”) was originally incorporated on July 26, 1990 in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida as Marketing Educational Corp. On June 13, 2006, the Company was reincorporated by merger in the State of Nevada.
The Company was originally formed for the purpose of direct marketing of certain educational materials and photography packages. The educational materials marketed by the Company consisted of encyclopedias, learning books, educational audio and video tapes which were designed to be used in various combinations to accommodate the educational levels and needs of families with children of all ages. During 1991, the Company completed a public offering of 150,000 units of common stock, through a Registration Statement on Form S-18 (Registration No.33-37039-A).
The Company has had no operations since 1992 and is currently a “shell company” as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933 (“Securities Act”) and Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”). The Company is defined as a shell company because it has no operations or assets.
On December 7, 2012, USA Zhimingde International Group Inc., a New Jersey corporation (“Zhimingde Inc.”) purchased 1,687,502 shares of the Company’s common stock from Halter Financial Investments, L.P., Glenn A. Little and The Halter Group, Inc. pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase”). Following the Purchase, Zhimingde Inc. owned approximately 91% of the voting securities of the Company. The Purchase resulted in a change in control of the Company. Subsequently, the Company changed its name to USA Zhimingde International Group Corporation effective on February 4, 2013.
| 1 |
For some period of time the Company has been exploring business opportunities that would involve the use of the Company as a shell in a reverse merger transaction, in which an operating company would be merged into USA Zhimingde International Group Corporation in exchange for shares of our capital stock. We continue to explore business opportunities, particularly businesses with which our Chairman, Zhongquan Zou, has experience. The business that we ultimately pursue will be determined by Mr. Zou, who is the sole member of our Board of Directors. His decision will be based on the prospects for the business, the availability of capital to fund the business, and the potential benefits of the business to the shareholders of USA Zhimingde International Group Corporation.
It is likely that we will effectuate a business combination with a target whose business operations and place of formation are located in the People's Republic of China. In particular, we may combine with one or more entities that Mr. Zou owns or controls. In such event, we may face the significant additional risks associated with doing business in that country. In addition to the language barriers, different presentations of financial information, different business practices, and other cultural differences and barriers that may make it difficult to evaluate such a merger target, we may encounter ongoing business risks associated with uncertain legal systems and applications of law, uncertain economic policies and potential political and economic instability.
Employees
We currently have no employees. The need for employees and their availability will be addressed in connection with the decision whether or not to acquire or participate in specific business opportunities.

Item 6. Selected Financial Data
Not applicable.
Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Results of Operations
We currently have no assets and no operations. During the year ended December 31, 2014, we realized no revenue and incurred $58,650 in operating expenses, resulting in a loss from operations and net loss in that amount. During the year ended December 31, 2013, we realized no revenue and incurred $73,113 in operating expenses, resulting in a loss from operations and a net loss in that amount. The higher expenses in 2013, primarily in the first quarter of 2013, were related to the expenses incurred in changing the corporate name and other transactions that followed from the change in ownership and management of the Company at the end of 2012. We do not expect to replicate those expenses until we acquire an operating business.
Our major expenses consisted of fees to lawyers and auditors necessary to maintain our standing as a fully-reporting public company and other administrative expenses attendant to the trading of our common stock. We do not expect the level of our operating expenses to change in the future until we undertake to effect an acquisition.
| 4 |
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At December 31, 2014 we had a working capital deficit of $70,150, as we had no assets and had $70,150 in accrued expenses. Our liabilities consist of amounts payable to our professional advisors for services. The remainder of our operating expenses during the year ended December 31, 2014 were paid with funds contributed by USA Zhimingde International Group Inc., which is our majority shareholder, or by affiliates of that entity. We expect our working capital deficit to continue indefinitely, until we initiate or obtain an operating company capable of funding our overhead expenses.
Our operations used $19,000 in cash during the year ended December 31, 2014, as we increased our accrued expenses by $39,650 during that period and received the remainder of our cash requirements as a capital contribution from our majority shareholder. Our operations consumed $55,613 in cash during the year ended December 31, 2013, which was contributed by the controlling shareholder at that time and applied to current expenses and prior accrued expenses. In the future, unless we achieve the financial and/or operational wherewithal to sustain our operations, it is likely that we will continue to rely on loans and capital contributions to sustain our operations.
In December 2012, control of USA Zhimingde International Group Corporation was transferred to USA Zhimingde International Group, Inc., which is controlled by Zhongquan Zou, our Chief Executive Officer. During his tenure, Mr. Zou, who controls the majority shareholder, or other entities that he controls have financed our operations by making capital contributions to cover our expenses. We expect that Zhongquan Zou's controlled affiliates will continue to fund our operations until we have completed an acquisition of an operating company, and that we will continue to require additional capital contributions or financing to maintain our existence as a shell company for the next twelve months, if necessary. Our management is not required to fund our operations by any contract or other obligation.
Application of Critical Accounting Policies
Our financial statements and related financial information are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenue, and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition. We believe our use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements.
Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 2 to our financial statements. While all these significant accounting policies impact our financial condition and results of operations, the Company views certain of these policies as critical. Policies determined to be critical are those policies that have the most significant impact on the Company’s financial statements and require management to use a greater degree of judgment and estimates. Among our critical policies is the determination, described in Note 6 to our financial statements, that the Company should record a valuation allowance for the full value of the deferred tax asset created by the net operating loss carryforwards. The primary reason for the determination was the lack of certainty as to whether the Company will achieve profitable operations in the future and be able to utilize their carryforwards.
| 5 |
Actual results may differ from those estimates. Our management believes that given current facts and circumstances, it is unlikely that applying any other reasonable judgments or estimate methodologies would cause any effects on our results of operations, financial position or liquidity for the periods presented in this report.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
Impact of Accounting Pronouncements
There have been no recent accounting pronouncements that have had, or are expected to have, a material effect on our financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors and Stockholders of
USA Zhimingde International Group Corporation
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of USA Zhimingde International Group Corporation (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related statements of operations, change in stockholders’ (deficit), and cash flows for each of the years in the two year period ended December 31, 2014. The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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 audits provide 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 USA Zhimingde International Group Corporation as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two year period ended December 31, 2014, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 have been prepared assumingthe Companywill continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 7 to the financial statements, the Company has no viable operations or significant assets and is dependent upon its major stockholder to provide sufficient working capital to maintain the integrity of the corporate entity. These conditions and the Company’s lack of equity and viable operations, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 7. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013
| 1. | GENERAL |
Organization and Business Nature
USA Zhimingde International Group Corporation (formerly, Marketing Acquisition Corporation) (the “Company”) was incorporated on July 26, 1990 in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida as Marketing Educational Corp. On June 13, 2006, the Company was reincorporated by merger in the State of Nevada.
The Company was originally formed for the purpose of direct marketing of certain educational materials and photography packages. During 1991, the Company completed a public offering of 150,000 units of common stock, through a Registration Statement on Form S-18 (Registration No.33-37039-A).
The Company has had no operations since 1992 and is currently a “shell company” as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933 (“Securities Act”) and Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”). The Company is defined as a shell company because it has no operations or assets.
On December 7, 2012, USA Zhimingde International Group Inc., a New Jersey corporation (“Zhimingde Inc.”) purchased 1,687,502 shares of the Company’s common stock from Halter Financial Investments, L.P., Glenn A. Little and The Halter Group, Inc. pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase”). Following the Purchase, Zhimingde Inc. owned approximately 91% of the voting securities of the Company. The Purchase resulted in a change in control of the Company. Subsequently, the Company changed its name to USA Zhimingde International Group Corporation effective on February 4, 2013.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company does not have any cash equivalents.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Section 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”), which requires the recognition of deferred income taxes for differences between the basis of assets and liabilities for financial statement and income tax purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax consequences for those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets are also recognized for operating losses that are available to offset future taxable income. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC Section 740-10, which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The guidance also prescribes direction on de-recognition, classification, interest and payables accounting in financial statements and related disclosures. The Company classifies interest expense and any related penalties related to income tax uncertainties as a component of income tax expense. No interest or penalties have been recognized as of December 31, 2014 and 2013.
Management has evaluated and concluded that there were no material uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s financial statements as of December 31, 2014 and 2013. The Company does not expect any significant changes in unrecognized tax benefits within twelve months of the reporting date.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on the guidance of ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
| • | Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities | |
| • | Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly. | |
| • | Level 3 - inputs based on prices or valuation techniques that are both unobservableand significant to the fair value markets. | |
The carrying amounts of the Company’s liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
Net Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, plus common stock equivalents, if dilutive, resulting from convertible preferred stock, stock options and warrants. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, there were no common stock equivalents outstanding.

| 3. | RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS |
In January 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") ASU 2015-01 – Income Statement – Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20). This ASU addressed the simplification of income statement presentation by eliminating the concept of extraordinary items. The objective of the Simplification Initiative is to identify, evaluate, and improve areas of generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for which cost and complexity can be reduced while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to the users of financial statements. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. A reporting entity may apply the amendments prospectively. A reporting entity also may apply the amendments retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted provided that the guidance is applied from the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. This accounting standard update is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In August 2014, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that requires an entity’s management to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and requires additional disclosures if certain criteria are met. This guidance is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. This accounting standard update is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC 605, “Revenue Recognition.” The core principle of this updated guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new rule also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Companies are permitted to adopt this new rule following either a full or modified retrospective approach. Early adoption is not permitted. Adoption of this ASU is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s financial statements or disclosures.

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, “Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360), Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity,” which amends the requirements for reporting discontinued operations. Under ASU 2014-08, a disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity is required to be reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results when the component or group of components meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale or when the component or group of components is disposed of by sale or other than by sale. In addition, this ASU requires additional disclosures about both discontinued operations and the disposal of an individually significant component of an entity that does not qualify for discontinued operations presentation in the financial statements. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2014, with early adoption permitted. Adoption of this ASU is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s financial statements or disclosures.

| Net deferred tax assets | $ | — | $ | — | ||||
At December 31, 2014, the Company had approximately $265,000 of federal net operating losses that may be available to offset future taxable income. The net operating loss carry over, if not utilized, will expire beginning in 2026. The amount and availability of future net operating loss carry-forwards may be subject to limitations set forth by the Internal Revenue Code. Based upon an analysis of the Company’s stock ownership activity, during the year ended December 31, 2012, a change of ownership was deemed to have occurred. This change of ownership created an annual limitation of substantially all of the Company’s net operating losses which are available through 2031.

| 6. | INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED) |
The Company assesses the likelihood that deferred tax assets will be realized. To the extent that realization is not likely, a valuation allowance is established. Based upon the Company’s losses since inception, management believes that it is more likely than not that future benefits of deferred tax assets will not be realized principally due to the change of ownership limitations and its continuing operating losses and has therefore established a full valuation allowance.
The Company’s tax filings are subject to examination by the tax authorities. The Company’s U.S. tax returns are not subject to examination by the tax authorities for tax years before 2011.
| 7. | GOING CONCERN |
The Company has not generated any revenue, nor any significant operations during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. The Company does not have any cash or cash equivalents as of December 31, 2014. As of December 31, 2014, the Company had a working capital deficiency and stockholders’ deficiency of $70,150. The Company has incurred net losses of approximately $59,000 and $73,000 during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company’s current business plan is to seek an acquisition or merger with a private operating company. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully consummate an acquisition or merger with a private operating company or, that the Company will identify any debt or equity financing sources to finance a potential acquisition or merger. If it is unable to obtain financing, the Company may be unable to complete its business plan, and would, instead, delay all cash intensive activities. The Company will continue to be dependent on additional capital contributions from its major stockholder for cash flow, which may not be available. Without the necessary cash flow, the Company may become dormant during the next twelve months, or until such time as necessary funds could be raised.
Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Item 9.Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
Not Applicable
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our Chief Executive Officer and our only officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule13a-15(e) promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission) as of December 31, 2014. The evaluation revealed that there are material weaknesses in our disclosure controls, specifically:
- There are no management controls, as a single person functions as sole officer and sole member of the Board of Directors.
- Having only one individual responsible for accounting functions prevents us from segregating duties within our internal control system.
- Most of our accounting functions are outsourced, which limits our ability to assure that our accounting policies are applied consistently.
Based on his evaluation, he concluded that the Company’s system of disclosure controls and procedures was not effective as of December 31, 2014.
Changes in Internal Controls. There was no change in internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) identified in connection with the evaluation described in the preceding paragraph that occurred during the Company’s fourth fiscal quarter that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. We have assessed the effectiveness of those internal controls as of December 31, 2014, using the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) as a basis for our assessment.
Because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
| 20 |
A material weakness in internal controls is a deficiency in internal control, or combination of control deficiencies, that adversely affects the Company’s ability to initiate, authorize, record, process, or report external financial data reliably in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected. In the course of making our assessment of the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting, we identified three material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. These material weaknesses consisted of:
a. Inadequate staffing and supervision within the bookkeeping operations of our company. There is only one individual who is responsible for bookkeeping functions. This prevents us from segregating duties within our internal control system. The inadequate segregation of duties is a weakness because it could lead to the untimely identification and resolution of accounting and disclosure matters or could lead to a failure to perform timely and effective reviews.
b. Outsourcing the accounting operations of our company. Because there is only one person in our administration, we outsource most of the accounting functions of our Company to an independent accountant. This accountant is self-directed, and is not answerable to the Company’s management. This is a material weakness because it could result in differences between the accounting policies adopted by our Board of Directors and the accounting practices applied by the accountant.
c. Lack of independent control over related party transactions. Zhongquan Zou is the sole director and sole officer of USA Zhimingde International Group Corporation. From time to time Mr. Zou or one of his affiliates will make loans or capital contributions to finance the operations of the Company. The absence of other directors or officers to review these transactions is a weakness because it could lead to improper classification of such related party transactions.
Management does not believe that the current level of the Company’s operations warrants a remediation of the weaknesses identified in this assessment. However, because of the above conditions, management’s assessment is that the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of December 31, 2014.
This annual report does not include an attestation report from the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
