Organization, Consolidation and Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS | NOTE A FlatWorld Acquisition Corp. (the “Company” or “FlatWorld”) is a blank check company formed on June 25, 2010 as a British Virgin Islands business company with limited liability for the purpose of acquiring, engaging in a share exchange, share reconstruction and amalgamation or contractual control arrangement with, purchasing all or substantially all of the assets of, or engaging in any other similar business transaction, one or more unidentified operating business or assets (“Business Transaction”). The Company’s efforts in identifying a prospective target business for its Business Transaction will not be limited to a particular industry, geographic region or minimum transaction value, but will focus its search on identifying a prospective target business in either (i) the global business services sector or (ii) emerging Asian markets. On June 29, 2011, the Company changed its fiscal year solely for financial accounting purposes such that the Company’s fiscal year will now end on December 31st of each calendar year. The Company had initially adopted a fiscal year end of June 30th solely for financial accounting purposes. On December 31, 2013, the Company entered into an agreement with FWC Management Services Ltd and FlatWorld Capital LLC, an entity controlled by three officers of the Company, to assign FWC Management Services Ltd’s interest in the Administrative Services Agreement to FlatWorld Capital LLC. Under such agreement, FlatWorld Capital LLC will continue to provide the services previously performed by, and on the same terms of, FWC Management Services Ltd, and all previous fees outstanding will be payable to FlatWorld Capital LLC. Going concern consideration The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. As indicated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, at December 31, 2018, the Company had $0 in cash, current liabilities of $740,102 and a working capital deficit (current liabilities minus current assets) of $740,102. Further, the Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur costs. These factors, among others, indicate that the Company may be unable to continue operations as a going concern for one year from the date of these financial statements are issued unless further financing is consummated. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm relating to the December 31, 2018 consolidated financial statements states that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Board of Directors anticipates that the Company will need to raise capital to fund ongoing operations, including the compliance cost of continuing to remain a public reporting company, and to fund the acquisition of an operating business. The Company does not currently have any specific capital-raising plans. The Company may receive funds from some or all of our officers or directors, and it may seek to issue equity securities, including preferred securities for which it may determine the rights and designations, ordinary shares, warrants, equity rights, convertibles notes and any combination of the foregoing. Any such offering may take the form of a private placement, public offering, rights offering, other offering or any combination of the foregoing at fixed or variable market prices or discounts to prevailing market prices. The Company cannot assure that they will be able to raise sufficient capital on favorable, or any, terms. The Company believes that the issuance of equity securities in such a financing will not be subject to shareholder approval if the Company’s Ordinary Shares are not then listed on a national exchange. Accordingly, shareholders may not be entitled to vote on any future financing by the Company. Moreover, shareholders have no preemptive or other rights to acquire any securities that the Company may issue in the future. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | NOTE B — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). All amounts referred to in the notes to the consolidated financial statements are in United States Dollars ($) unless stated otherwise. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Net loss per share The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Net loss per ordinary share is computed by dividing net loss applicable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the period. Common share equivalents are excluded from the diluted earnings (loss) per share computation if their effect is anti-dilutive. At December 31, 2018, the Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into ordinary shares and then share in the earnings of the Company. Cash The Company considers cash to consist of cash on hand and temporary investments having an original maturity of 90 days or less that are readily convertible into cash. Concentration of credit risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in financial institutions, which at times, may exceed the Federal depository insurance coverage of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts. Reliance on Key Personnel The Company is heavily dependent on the continued active participation of the current directors and executive officers. The loss of any of the senior management could significantly and negatively impact the business until adequate replacements can be identified and put in place. Fair value of financial instruments The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheet. In accordance with GAAP, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In accordance with GAAP, a fair value hierarchy for inputs is used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company's assumptions about the inputs market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The fair value hierarchy is categorized into three levels based on the inputs as follows: Level 1 - Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Valuation adjustments and block discounts are not applied to Level 1 securities. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these securities does not entail a significant degree of judgment. Level 2 - Valuations based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 - Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. The availability of valuation techniques and observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors including, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, and other characteristics particular to the transaction. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Those estimated values do not necessarily represent the amounts that may be ultimately realized due to the occurrence of future circumstances that cannot be reasonably determined. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may be materially higher or lower than the values that would have been used had a ready market for the securities existed. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Company in determining fair value is greatest for securities categorized in Level 3. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Fair value is a market-based measure considered from the perspective of a market participant rather than an entity-specific measure. Therefore, even when market assumptions are not readily available, the Company's own assumptions are set to reflect those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. The Company uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, including periods of market dislocation. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the carrying amount reported in the consolidated balance sheet for accounts payable and accrued expenses and due to affiliates approximates fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. Use of estimates The preparation of consolidated 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Income tax The Government of British Virgin Islands will not, under existing legislation, impose any income, corporate or capital gains tax, estate duty, inheritance tax, gift tax or withholding tax upon the Company or its security holders. The British Virgin Islands is not party to any double taxation treaties. Notwithstanding the above, the Company complies with FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and 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. The Company did not establish a valuation allowance as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 as there were no deferred tax assets at that date. The Company adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 740-10-25 which establishes recognition requirements for the accounting for income taxes. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2018 and 2017. The section prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. No amounts were accrued for the payment of interest and penalties at December 31, 2018 and 2017. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception. Recently issued accounting pronouncements Recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB and the SEC did not, or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future consolidated financial statements. |

Disclosure Of Warrants And Options [Abstract] | |
WARRANTS AND OPTIONS | NOTE E— WARRANTS AND OPTIONS Warrants As of December 31, 2018, the Company had no outstanding warrants. Units During December 2010, the Company issued a unit purchase option, for $100, to Rodman, the representative of the underwriters in the IPO, to purchase 88,000 Units (4% of the total number of units sold in the IPO) at an exercise price of $12.50 per Unit. The Units issuable upon exercise of this option are identical to the Units offered in the IPO. This option is exercisable commencing on the later of the consummation of a Business Transaction and one year from the date of the IPO and expiring five years from the date of the IPO. The Company estimated the fair value of this unit purchase option at approximately $2.59 per unit using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair value of the unit purchase option granted to the underwriter was estimated as of the date of grant using the following assumptions: (1) expected volatility of 35%, (2) risk-free interest rate of 1.78% and (3) expected life of 5 years. The unit purchase option may be exercised for cash or on a “cashless” basis, at the holder’s option, such that the holder may use the appreciated value of the unit purchase option (the difference between the exercise prices of the unit purchase option and the underlying Warrants and the market price of the Units and underlying ordinary shares) to exercise the unit purchase option without the payment of cash. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017 the option to purchase 0 and 0 Units, respectively, remained outstanding. |
