Investment in our ordinary shares involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider, among other matters, the following risk factors in addition to the other information in this annual report on Form 20-F when evaluating our business because these risk factors may have a significant impact on our business, financial condition, operating results or cash flow. If any of the material risks described below or in subsequent reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) actually occur, they may materially harm our business, financial condition, operating results or cash flow. Additional risks and uncertainties that we have not yet identified or that we presently consider to be immaterial may also materially harm our business, financial condition, operating results or cash flow.
Risks Related to Our Business and Industry
We are exposed to the risks of an economic recession, credit and capital markets volatility and economic and financial crisis (including as a result of the COVID-19 virus pandemic), which could adversely affect the demand for our products and adversely affect the market price of our ordinary shares.
We are exposed to the risk of a global recession or a recession in one or more of our key markets, credit and capital markets volatility and an economic or financial crisis, or otherwise, which could result in reduced consumption or sales prices of our products, which in turn could result in lower revenue and reduced profit. Our financial condition and results of operations, as well as our future prospects, would likely be hindered by an economic downturn in any of our key markets.
The purchase of our products in many of the jurisdictions in which we sell to is closely linked to general economic conditions, with levels of consumption tending to rise during periods of rising per capita income and fall during periods of declining per capita income. Additionally, per capita consumption is inversely related to the sale price of our products.
Besides moving in concert with changes in per capita income, purchase of our products also increases or decreases in accordance with changes in disposable income.
Currently, disposable income is low in many of the developing countries in which we sell our products to compared to disposable income in more developed countries. Any decrease in disposable income resulting from an increase in inflation, income taxes, the cost of living, unemployment levels, political or economic instability or other factors would likely adversely affect the demand for our products.
Capital and credit market volatility, such as that experienced in recent years, may result in downward pressure on share prices and the credit capacity of issuers. Potential changes in social, political, regulatory and economic conditions may be significant drivers of capital and credit market volatility. The COVID-19 virus pandemic has resulted in significant financial market volatility and uncertainty in recent weeks. The extent to which the COVID-19 impacts our results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and will include emerging information concerning the severity of the COVID-19 and the actions taken by governments and private businesses to attempt to contain the coronavirus, A continuation or worsening of the levels of market disruption and volatility seen in the recent past could have an adverse effect on us.
Additionally, the pandemic may also affect our overall ability to react timely to mitigate the impact of this event and may hamper our efforts to provide our investors with timely information and comply with our filing obligations with the SEC, especially in the event of office closures, stay-in-place orders and a ban on travel or quarantines.
We have commenced limited operations in our business.
We were incorporated in the Cayman Islands on September 8, 2016. We have commenced limited business operations. Accordingly, we have no way to evaluate the likelihood that our business will be successful. Potential investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by new trading and logistics companies and the high rate of failure of such enterprises. The likelihood of success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays encountered in connection with the operations that we plan to undertake. These potential problems include, but are not limited to, unanticipated problems relating to the ability to generate sufficient cash flow to operate our business, and additional costs and expenses that may exceed current estimates. We recognize that if we are not successful in implementing our business plan, we will not be able to continue business operations. There is limited history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that we will prove successful.
We are heavily dependent on our customers. Due to the high level of competition in our industry, they might fail to retain their customers, which would harm our financial condition and operating results.
We are heavily dependent for purchases of our products on companies which sell our products. These companies operate in a very competitive environment. The business of marketing healthcare, housewares and personal care products is highly competitive and sensitive to the introduction of new products, which may rapidly capture a significant share of the market. These market segments include numerous manufacturers, distributors, marketers, retailers and physicians that actively compete for the business of consumers in various countries. In addition, we anticipate that we will be subject to increasing competition in the future from sellers that utilize electronic commerce. Some of these competitors have longer operating histories, significantly greater financial, technical, product development, marketing and sales resources, greater name recognition, larger established customer bases and better-developed distribution channels than we do. Our present or future competitors may be able to develop products that are comparable or superior to those we offer, adapt more quickly than we do to new technologies, evolving industry trends and standards or customer requirements, or devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their products than we do. Accordingly, we may not be able to compete effectively in our markets and competition may intensify.
Our customers are also subject to significant competition for sales from other organizations, including those that market dietary and nutritional supplements, housewares and personal care products as well as other types of products. We compete for global customers with regard to nutritional supplements, housewares and personal care products. In addition, because the industry in which we operate is not particularly capital intensive or otherwise subject to high barriers to entry, it is relatively easy for new competitors to emerge who will compete with our customers and their customers. The ability of our customers to remain competitive therefore depends, in significant part, on their success in recruiting and retaining customers. We cannot ensure that their efforts for recruitment and retention of customers will be successful and if they are not, our financial condition and operating results would be harmed.
Sales of our products are subject to changing consumer preferences; if we do not correctly anticipate such changes, our sales and profitability may decline.
There are a number of trends in consumer preferences which have an impact on us and the healthcare consumer products industry as a whole. These include, among others, preferences for convenient, natural, better value, healthy and sustainable products. Concerns as to the health impacts and nutritional value of certain foods may increasingly result in food producers being encouraged or required to produce products with reduced levels of salt, sugar and fat and to eliminate trans-fatty acids and certain other ingredients. Consumer preferences are also shaped by concern over the environmental impact of products. The success of our business depends on both the continued appeal of our products and, given the varied backgrounds and tastes of our customer base, our ability to offer a sufficient range of products to satisfy a broad spectrum of preferences. Any shift in consumer preferences in the markets in which we operate could have a material adverse effect on our business. Consumer tastes are also susceptible to change. Our competitiveness therefore depends on our ability to predict and quickly adapt to consumer trends, exploiting profitable opportunities for product development without alienating our existing consumer base or focusing excessive resources or attention on unprofitable or short-lived trends. If we are unable to respond on a timely and appropriate basis to changes in demand or consumer preferences, our sales volumes and margins could be adversely affected.
Our future results and competitive position are dependent on the successful development of new products and improvement of existing products, which is subject to a number of difficulties and uncertainties.
Our future results and ability to maintain or improve our competitive position depend on our capacity to anticipate changes in our key markets and to identify, develop, manufacture, market and sell new or improved products in these changing markets successfully. We have to introduce new products and re-launch and extend existing product lines on a timely basis in order to counteract obsolescence and decreases in sales of existing products as well as to increase overall sales of our products. The launch and success of new or modified products are inherently uncertain, especially as to the products’ appeal to consumers, and there can be no assurance as to our continuing ability to develop and launch successful new products or variations of existing products. The failure to launch a product successfully can give rise to inventory write-offs and other costs and can affect consumer perception of our other products. Market factors and the need to develop and provide modified or alternative products may also increase costs. In addition, launching new or modified products can result in cannibalization of sales of our existing products if consumers purchase the new product in place of our existing products. If we are unsuccessful in developing new products in response to changing consumer demands or preferences in an efficient and economical manner, or if our competitors respond more effectively than we do, demand for our products may decrease, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
To maximize our potential for future growth and achieve our expected revenues, we need to manage growth in our current operations.
In order to maximize potential growth in our current and potential markets, we believe that we must expand our sourcing and marketing operations. This expansion will place a significant strain on our management and on our operational, accounting, and information systems. We expect that as we continue to grow we will need to improve our financial controls, operating procedures, and management information systems to handle increased operations. We will also need to effectively train, motivate, and manage our employees. Failure to manage our growth could disrupt our operations and ultimately prevent us from generating the revenues we expect.
We cannot assure you that our acquisition growth strategy will be successful.
In addition to our organic growth strategy we also expect to grow through strategic acquisitions. We cannot assure you that our acquisitions will be successful or that we will have the funds to pursue any acquisitions. Further, even if we are able to complete strategic acquisitions, as expected, we will face challenges such as integration of systems, personnel and corporate culture that may impact our ability to successfully integrate acquired businesses into our overall corporate structure, which would negatively impact our business, operations and financial performance.
If we are not able to implement our strategies to achieve our business objectives, our business operations and financial performance will be adversely affected.
Our business plan and growth strategy is based on currently prevailing circumstances and the assumption that certain circumstances will or will not occur, as well as the inherent risks and uncertainties involved in various stages of development. However, there is no assurance that we will be successful in implementing our strategies or that our strategies, even if implemented, will lead to the successful achievement of our objectives. If we are not able to successfully implement our strategies, our business operations and financial performance will be adversely affected.
Any funding we raise through the future sale of our ordinary shares will result in dilution to existing shareholders and funding through bank loans will increase our liabilities.
We plan to raise capital in order to fund our growth plans in the future and anticipate doing so through further stock issuances. Such share issuances will cause shareholders’ interests in our Company to be diluted. Such dilution is likely to negatively affect the value of investors’ shares if our revenues and earnings do not grow commensurately. Alternate sources of finance, such as obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase the Company’s liabilities and future cash commitments.
We depend on third parties to supply products; any adverse changes in such supply or the costs of products may adversely affect our operations.
We currently obtain our products from third parties. The supply of these products can be adversely affected by any material change in the economic and political conditions in various countries which may, in turn, result in increased costs to purchase these products. For example, any economic downturn, tighter credit conditions and slow or declining growth can negatively affect the geographic markets in which we compete in by affecting consumer confidence. This can result in consumers purchasing cheaper private label products instead of equivalent branded products. Such macroeconomic trends could, among other things, negatively impact global demand for branded and premium healthcare consumer products, which could result in a reduction of sales or pressure on margins of our branded products or cause an increasing transfer to lower priced product categories.
Our business is dependent on third-party suppliers and changes or difficulties in our relationships with our suppliers may harm our business and financial results.
We are dependent on our suppliers for our products. Our suppliers may fail to meet timelines or contractual obligations or provide us with sufficient products, which may adversely affect our business. Certain of our contracts with key suppliers, can be terminated by the supplier upon giving notice within a certain period and restrict us from using other suppliers. Failure to appropriately structure or adequately manage our agreements with third parties may adversely affect our supply of products. We are also subject to credit risk with respect to our third-party suppliers. If any such suppliers become insolvent, an appointed trustee could potentially ignore the service contracts we have in place with such party, resulting in increased charges or the termination of the service contracts. We may not be able to replace a service provider within a reasonable period of time, on as favorable terms or without disruption to our operations. Any adverse changes to our relationships with third-party suppliers could have a material adverse effect on our image, brand and reputation, as well as on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In addition, to the extent that our creditworthiness is impaired, or general economic conditions decline, certain of our key suppliers may demand onerous payment terms that could materially adversely affect our working capital position, or such suppliers may refuse to continue to supply to us. A number of our key suppliers have taken out trade credit insurance on our ability to pay them. To the extent that such trade credit insurance becomes unobtainable or more expensive due to market conditions, we may face adverse changes to payment terms by our key suppliers or they may refuse to continue to supply us.
Our suppliers’ inability to source raw materials or other inputs of an acceptable type or quality, could adversely affect our results of operations.
Our suppliers use significant quantities of ingredients and packaging materials and are therefore vulnerable to fluctuations in the availability and price of ingredients, packaging materials, energy costs and other supplies. General economic conditions, unanticipated demand, problems in manufacturing or distribution, natural disasters, weather conditions during the growing and harvesting seasons, plant, fish and livestock diseases and local, national or international quarantines can also adversely affect availability and prices of commodities in the long and short term. Moreover, there is no market for hedging against price volatility for certain raw materials and accordingly such materials are bought at the spot rate in the market.
Accordingly, their ability to avoid the adverse effects of a pronounced, sustained price increase in raw materials is limited. Any increases in prices or scarcity of ingredients or packaging materials required for our products could increase their costs and disrupt our operations. If the availability of any of their inputs is constrained for any reason, we may not be able to obtain sufficient supplies or supplies of a suitable quality on favorable terms or at all. Such shortages could materially adversely affect our market share, business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our inability to pass on price increases for materials or other inputs to our customers could adversely affect our results of operations.
Our ability to pass through increases in the prices of raw materials to our customers depends, among others, on prevailing competitive conditions and pricing methods in the markets in which we operate, and we may not be able to pass through such price increases to our customers. Even if we are able to pass through increases in prices, there is typically a time lag between cost increases impacting our business and implementation of product price increases during which time our gross margin may be negatively impacted. Recovery of cost inflation can also lead to disparities in retailers’ shelf-prices between different brands which can result in a competitive disadvantage and volume decline. During our negotiations to increase our prices to recover cost increases, customers may take actions which exacerbate the impact of such cost increases, for example by ceasing to offer our products or deferring orders until negotiations have ended. Our inability to pass through price increases in raw materials and preserve our profit margins in the future could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Any failure of our products to comply with safety requirements set by government may adversely affect our results from operations.
We currently obtain our products from third parties. We may fail to ensure the supplied goods to be in compliance with safety regulation and rules set by government, which may, in turn, results in losing our customers which would adversely affect our revenues and stockholder value.
Any disruptions in our information technology systems could harm our business and reduce our profitability.
We rely on our information technology systems for communication among our suppliers, distribution functions, headquarters and customers. Our performance depends on the availability of accurate and timely data and other information from key software applications to aid day-to-day business and decision-making processes. We may be adversely affected if our controls designed to manage information technology operational risks fail to contain such risks. If we do not allocate and effectively manage the resources necessary to build and sustain the proper technology infrastructure and to maintain the related automated and manual control processes, we could be subject to adverse effects including billing and collection errors, business disruptions, in particular concerning our logistics functions, and security breaches. Any disruption caused by failings in our information technology infrastructure equipment or of communication networks, could delay or otherwise impact our day-to-day business and decision-making processes and negatively impact our performance. In addition, we are reliant on third parties to service parts of our IT infrastructure. Failure on their part to provide good and timely service may have an adverse impact on our information technology network. Furthermore, we do not control the facilities or operations of our suppliers. An interruption of operations at any of their or our facilities or any failure by them to deliver on their contractual commitments may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our supply network and manufacturing and distribution facilities could be disrupted by factors beyond our control such as extreme weather, fire and other natural disasters.
Severe weather conditions and natural disasters, such as storms, floods, droughts, frosts, earthquakes or pestilence, may affect the supply of the raw materials that our suppliers use for the manufacturing of our products. For example, changing climate may cause flooding and drought in crop growing areas. Competing food producers can be affected differently by weather conditions and natural disasters depending on the location of their supply sources. If supplies of raw materials are reduced, our suppliers may not be able to find adequate supplemental supply sources, if at all, on favorable terms, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operation. In addition, our suppliers’ manufacturing facilities may be subject to damage
Significant disruption in the workforce of our suppliers could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our suppliers may experience labor disputes and work stoppages at one or more of their manufacturing sites due to localized strikes or strikes in the larger healthcare consumer product industry sector. They may also be involved in negotiations on collective bargaining agreements. A labor stoppage or other interruption at one of their manufacturing sites would impact our ability to supply our customers and could have a pronounced effect on our operations and, potentially, on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Higher labor costs could adversely affect our business and financial results.
We compete with our competitors for good and dependable employees. The supply of such employees is limited and competition to hire and retain them may result in higher labor costs. High labor costs could adversely affect our profitability if we are not able to pass them on to our customers.
We are dependent upon key executives and highly qualified managers and we cannot assure their retention.
Our success depends, in part, upon the continued services of key members of our management. Our executives’ and managers’ knowledge of the market, our business and our company represents a key strength of our business, which cannot be easily replicated. The success of our business strategy and our future growth also depend on our ability to attract, train, retain and motivate skilled managerial, sales, administration, development and operating personnel.
There can be no assurance that our existing personnel will be adequate or qualified to carry out our strategy, or that we will be able to hire or retain experienced, qualified employees to carry out our strategy. The loss of one or more of our key management or operating personnel, or the failure to attract and retain additional key personnel, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We do not have long term contracts with our customers, and they can reduce order quantities or terminate their purchases at any time.
We do not have long term contracts with the customers who buy the products. At any time, our customers can reduce the quantities of products they purchase from us, or cease buying products from us altogether. Such reductions or terminations could have a material adverse impact on our revenues, profits and financial condition.
Our customers may not be creditworthy.
Our business is subject to the risks of nonpayment and nonperformance by our customers. We manage our exposure to credit risk through credit analysis and monitoring procedures, and sometimes use letters of credit, prepayments and guarantees. However, these procedures and policies cannot fully eliminate customer credit risk, and to the extent our policies and procedures prove to be inadequate, it could negatively affect our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, some of our customers may be highly leveraged and subject to their own operating and regulatory risks and, even if our credit review and analysis mechanisms work properly, we may experience financial losses in our dealings with such parties. We do not maintain credit insurance to insure against customer credit risk. If our customers fail to fulfill their contractual obligations, it may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operation.
Failure to protect our suppliers’ brand names and trademarks could materially affect our business.
We do not own the brand names and trademarks (such as AlphaSpin, AlphaMeta and Angels Secret) for the products we sell. They are generally owned by our suppliers. We cannot be certain that the actions our suppliers have taken or will take in the future will be adequate to prevent violation of their proprietary rights. Litigation may be necessary to enforce their trademark or proprietary rights or to defend us against claimed infringement of the rights of third parties. Adverse publicity, legal action or other factors which we have no control over could lead to substantial erosion in the value of the brands, which could lead to decreased consumer demand and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Health concerns or adverse developments with respect to the safety or quality of healthcare products industry in general or our own products specifically may damage our reputation, increase our costs of operations and decrease demand for our products.
Food safety and the public’s perception that our products are safe and healthy are essential to our image and business. We sell healthcare products for human consumption, which subjects us to safety risks such as product contamination, spoilage, misbranding or product tampering. Product contamination, including the presence of a foreign object, substance, chemical or other agent or residue or the introduction of a genetically modified organism, could require product withdrawals or recalls or the destruction of inventory, and could result in negative publicity, temporary plant closures and substantial costs of compliance or remediation.
We may also be impacted by publicity concerning any assertion that our products caused illness or injury. In addition, we could be subject to claims or lawsuits relating to an actual or alleged illness stemming from product contamination or any other incidents that compromise the safety and quality of our products. Any significant lawsuit or widespread product recall or other events leading to the loss of consumer confidence in the safety and quality of our products could damage our brand, reputation and image and negatively impact our sales, profitability and prospects for growth. In addition, product recalls are difficult to foresee and prepare for and, in the event we are required to recall one or more of our products, such recall may result in loss of sales due to unavailability of our products and may take up a significant amount of our management’s time and attention.
We are also subject to further risks affecting the food industry generally, including risks posed by widespread contamination and evolving nutritional and health-related concerns. Regulatory authorities may limit the supply of certain types of food products in response to public health concerns and consumers may perceive certain products to be unsafe or unhealthy. For example, due to avian flu, we or our suppliers could be required to find alternative supplies or ingredients that may or may not be available at commercially reasonable prices and within the required time. In addition, governmental regulations may require us to identify replacement products to offer to our customers or, alternatively, to discontinue certain offerings or limit the range of products we offer. We may be unable to find substitutes that are as appealing to our customer base, or such substitutes may not be widely available or may be available only at increased costs. Such substitutions or limitations could also reduce demand for our products.
We could also be subject to claims or lawsuits relating to an actual or alleged illness or injury or death stemming from the consumption of a misbranded, altered, contaminated or spoiled product, which could negatively affect our business. Awards of damages, settlement amounts and fees and expenses resulting from such claims and the public relations implications of any such claims could have an adverse effect on our business. The availability and price of insurance to cover claims for damages are subject to market forces that we do not control, and such insurance may not cover all the costs of such claims and would no cover damage to our reputation. Even if product liability claims against us are not successful or fully pursued, these claims could be costly and time consuming, and divert our management’s time and resources towards defending them rather than operating our business. In addition, any adverse publicity concerning such claims, even if unfounded, could cause customers to lose confidence in the safety and quality of our products and damage our reputation and brand image.
Our international operations subject us to operational and financial risks.
We sell products to customers in many countries. Accordingly, our business is subject to various risks resulting from differing legal, political, social and regulatory requirements, economic conditions and unforeseeable developments in these markets, including:
| ● | changes in tariffs, trade restrictions, trade agreements, and taxations; |
| ● | difficulties in managing or overseeing foreign operations and agents; |
| ● | different liability standards; |
| ● | political instability; |
| ● | differing economic cycles; |
| ● | adverse economic conditions; |
| ● | unexpected changes in regulatory environments, currency exchange rate fluctuations, |
| ● | inability to collect payments or seek recourse under or comply with ambiguous or vague commercial or other laws; |
| ● | changes in distribution and supply channels, foreign exchange controls and restrictions on repatriation of funds, and difficulties in attracting and retaining qualified management and employees. |
We must comply with complex and evolving tax regulations in the various jurisdictions in which we operate, which subjects us to international tax compliance risks. Some tax jurisdictions in which we operate have complex and subjective rules regarding income tax, value-added tax, sales or excise tax and transfer tax. From time to time, our foreign subsidiaries are subject to tax audits and may be required to pay additional taxes, interest or penalties should the taxing authority assert different interpretations, or different allocations or valuations of our services which could be material and could reduce our income and cash flow from our international subsidiaries.
The occurrence or consequences of any of these factors may restrict our ability to operate in the affected region and/or decrease the profitability of our operations in that region.
As we continue to expand our business internationally, we expose the company to increased risk of loss from foreign currency fluctuations, as well as longer accounts receivable payment cycles. Foreign currency fluctuations could result in currency translation exchange gains or losses or could affect the book value of our assets and liabilities. Furthermore, we may experience unanticipated changes to our income tax liabilities resulting from changes in geographical income mix and changing international tax legislation. We have limited control over these risks, and if we do not correctly anticipate changes in international economic and political conditions, we may not alter our business practices in time to avoid adverse effects.
Changes to our payment terms with both customers and suppliers may materially adversely affect our operating cash flows.
We may experience significant pressure from both our competitors and our key suppliers to reduce the number of days of our accounts payable. At the same time, we may experience pressure from our customers to extend the number of days before paying our accounts receivable. Any failure to manage our accounts payable and accounts receivable may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Changes in accounting standards and subjective assumptions, estimates and judgments by management related to complex accounting matters could significantly affect our financial results.
Generally accepted accounting principles and related accounting pronouncements, implementation guidelines and interpretations with regard to a wide range of matters that are relevant to our business, including but not limited to revenue recognition, estimating valuation allowances and accrued liabilities (including allowances for returns, doubtful accounts and obsolete and damaged inventory), accounting for income taxes, valuation of long-lived and intangible assets and goodwill, stock-based compensation and loss contingencies, are highly complex and involve many subjective assumptions, estimates and judgments by our management. Changes in these rules or their interpretation or changes in underlying assumptions, estimates or judgments by our management could significantly change our reported or expected financial performance, and could have a material adverse effect on our business.
We may engage in future acquisitions, which may be expensive and time consuming and from which we may not realize anticipated benefits.
Our strategy is largely based on our ability to grow through acquisitions of further businesses to build an integrated group. Consummating acquisitions of related businesses, or our failure to integrate such businesses successfully into our existing businesses, could result in unanticipated expenses and losses. Furthermore, we may not be able to realize any of the anticipated benefits from acquisitions, including the Grand World Acquisition.
We anticipate that any future acquisitions we may pursue as part of our business strategy may be partially financed through additional debt or equity. If new debt is added to current debt levels, or if we incur other liabilities, including contingent liabilities, in connection with an acquisition, the debt or liabilities could impose additional constraints and requirements on our business and operations, which could materially adversely affect our financial condition and results of operation. In addition, to the extent our ordinary shares are used for all or a portion of the consideration to be paid for future acquisitions, dilution may be experienced by existing shareholders.
In connection with our completed and future acquisitions, the process of integrating acquired operations into our existing group operations, including the Grand World Acquisition, may result in unforeseen operating difficulties and may require significant financial resources that would otherwise be available for the ongoing development or expansion of existing operations. Some of the other risks associated with acquisitions include:
| ● | potentially dilutive issuances of our securities, the incurrence of debt and contingent liabilities and amortization expenses related to intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition; |
| ● | the possibility that the due diligence process in any such acquisition may not completely identify material issues associated with product quality, product architecture, product development, intellectual property issues, key personnel issues or legal and financial contingencies, including any deficiencies in internal controls and procedures and the costs associated with remedying such deficiencies; |
| ● | the possible adverse effect of such acquisitions on existing relationships with third party partners and suppliers of technologies and services; |
| ● | unexpected losses of key employees or customers of the acquired company; |
| ● | conforming the acquired company’s standards, processes, procedures and controls with our operations; |
| ● | coordinating new product and process development; |
| ● | difficulty in predicting and responding to issues related to product transition such as development, distribution and client support; |
| ● | hiring additional management and other critical personnel; |
| ● | the possibility that staff or clients of the acquired company might not accept new ownership and may transition to different technologies or attempt to renegotiate contract terms or relationships, including maintenance or support agreements; |
| ● | difficulty in integrating acquired operations due to geographical distance and language and cultural differences; |
| ● | the possibility that acquired assets become impaired, requiring us to take a charge to earnings which could be significant; |
| ● | negotiating with labor unions; and |
| ● | increasing the scope, geographic diversity and complexity of our current operations. |
In addition, general economic and market conditions or other factors outside of our control could make our operating strategies difficult or impossible to implement. Any failure to implement these operational improvements successfully and/or the failure of these operational improvements to deliver the anticipated benefits could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
Because our controlling shareholders own a majority of our outstanding ordinary shares, they will make and control corporate decisions that may be disadvantageous to minority shareholders.
We may be subject to antitrust regulations with respect to future acquisition opportunities.
Many jurisdictions in which we operate have antitrust regulations which involve governmental filings for certain acquisitions, impose waiting periods and require approvals by government regulators. Governmental authorities may seek to challenge potential acquisitions or impose conditions, terms, obligations or restrictions that may delay completion of the acquisition or materially reduce the anticipated benefits (financial or otherwise). Our inability to consummate potential future acquisitions or to receive the full benefits of such acquisitions because of antitrust regulations could limit our ability to execute on our acquisition strategy which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
We may face significant competition for acquisition opportunities.
There may be significant competition in some or all of the acquisition opportunities that we may explore. Such competition may for example come from strategic buyers, sovereign wealth funds, special purpose acquisition companies and public and private investment funds, many of which are well established and have extensive experience in identifying and completing acquisitions. A number of these competitors may possess greater technical, financial, human and other resources than us. We cannot assure investors that we will be successful against such competition. Such competition may cause us to be unsuccessful in executing any acquisition or may result in a successful acquisition being made at a significantly higher price than would otherwise have been the case.
Any due diligence by us in connection with potential future acquisition may not reveal all relevant considerations or liabilities of the target business, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
We intend to conduct such due diligence as we deem reasonably practicable and appropriate based on the facts and circumstances applicable to any potential acquisition. The objective of the due diligence process will be to identify material issues which may affect the decision to proceed with any one particular acquisition target or the consideration payable for an acquisition. We also intend to use information revealed during the due diligence process to formulate our business and operational planning for, and our valuation of, any target company or business. While conducting due diligence and assessing a potential acquisition, we may rely on publicly available information, if any, information provided by the relevant target company to the extent such company is willing or able to provide such information and, in some circumstances, third party investigations.
There can be no assurance that the due diligence undertaken with respect to an acquisition, including the Grand World Acquisition, will reveal all relevant facts that may be necessary to evaluate such acquisition including the determination of the price we may pay for an acquisition target or to formulate a business strategy. Furthermore, the information provided during due diligence may be incomplete, inadequate or inaccurate. As part of the due diligence process, we will also make subjective judgments regarding the results of operations, financial condition and prospects of a potential target. For example, the due diligence we conducted in connection with the Grand World Acquisition may not have been complete, adequate or accurate and may not have uncovered all material issues and liabilities to which we are now subject. If the due diligence investigation fails to correctly identify material issues and liabilities that may be present in a target company or business, or if we consider such material risks to be commercially acceptable relative to the opportunity, and we proceed with an acquisition, we may subsequently incur substantial impairment charges or other losses.
In addition, following an acquisition, including the Grand World Acquisition, we may be subject to significant, previously undisclosed liabilities of the acquired business that were not identified during due diligence and which could contribute to poor operational performance, undermine any attempt to restructure the acquired company or business in line with our business plan and have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Economic recessions could have a significant, adverse impact on our business.
The trading and logistics industry historically has experienced cyclical fluctuations in financial results due to economic recession, downturns in business cycles of our customers, interest rate fluctuations, and other economic factors beyond our control. Deterioration in the economic environment subjects our business to various risks, which may have a material and adverse impact on our operating results and cause us to not reach our long-term growth goals:
| ● | Decrease in volumes - A reduction in overall freight volumes in the marketplace reduces our opportunities for growth. A significant portion of our freight is shipped using transactional or “spot” market opportunities. The transactional market may be more impacted than the freight market by overall economic conditions. In addition, if a downturn in our customers’ business cycles causes a reduction in the volume of freight shipped by those customers, particularly in the healthcare, personal care and housewares industries, our operating results could be adversely affected. |
| ● | Credit risk and working capital - Some of our customers may face economic difficulties and may not be able to pay us, and some may go out of business. In addition, some customers may not pay us as quickly as they have in the past, causing our working capital needs to increase. |
| ● | Transportation provider failures - A significant number of our transportation providers may go out of business and we may be unable to secure sufficient equipment or other transportation services to meet our commitments to our customers. |
| ● | Expense management - We may not be able to appropriately adjust our expenses to changing market demands. Personnel expenses are our largest expense. In order to maintain high variability in our business model, it is necessary to adjust staffing levels to changing market demands. In periods of rapid change, it is more difficult to match our staffing levels to our business needs. In addition, we have other expenses that are fixed for a period of time, and we may not be able to adequately adjust them in a period of rapid change in market demand. |
Higher carrier prices may result in decreased net revenue margin.
Carriers can be expected to charge higher prices if market conditions warrant, or to cover higher operating expenses. Our net revenues and income from operations may decrease if we are unable to increase our pricing to our customers. In some instances where we have entered into contract freight rates with customers, in the event market conditions change and those contracted rates are below market rates, we may be required to provide transportation services at a revenue loss.
Changing fuel costs and interruptions of fuel supplies may have an impact on our net revenue margins.
Fluctuating fuel prices may result in decreased net revenue margin. While our different pricing arrangements with customers and contracted carriers make it very difficult to measure the precise impact, in times of fluctuating fuel prices, our net revenue margin may also fluctuate.
Our dependence on third parties to provide equipment and services may impact the delivery and quality of our transportation and logistics services.
We do not employ the people directly involved in delivering our customers’ freight. We depend on independent third parties to provide truck, rail, ocean, and air services and to report certain events to us, including delivery information and freight claims. These independent third parties may not fulfill their obligations to us, preventing us from meeting our commitments to our customers. This reliance also could cause delays in reporting certain events, including recognizing revenue and claims. In addition, if we are unable to secure sufficient equipment or other transportation services from third parties to meet our commitments to our customers, our operating results could be materially and adversely affected, and our customers could switch to our competitors temporarily or permanently. Many of these risks are beyond our control, including:
| ● | equipment shortages in the transportation industry, particularly among contracted truckload carriers; |
| ● | changes in regulations impacting transportation; |
| ● | disruption in the supply or cost of fuel; |
| ● | reduction or deterioration in rail service; and |
| ● | unanticipated changes in transportation rates. |
We are subject to negative impacts of changes in political and governmental conditions.
Our operations are subject to the influences of significant political, governmental, and similar changes and our ability to respond to them, including:
| ● | changes in political conditions and in governmental policies; |
| ● | changes in and compliance with international and domestic laws and regulations; and |
| ● | wars, civil unrest, acts of terrorism, and other conflicts. |
We may be subject to negative impacts of catastrophic events.
A disruption or failure of our systems or operations in the event of a major earthquake, weather event, cyber-attack, heightened security measures, actual or threatened, terrorist attack, strike, civil unrest, pandemic or other catastrophic event could cause delays in providing services or performing other critical functions. A catastrophic event that results in the destruction or disruption of any of our critical business or information systems could harm our ability to conduct normal business operations and adversely impact our operating results.
We may incur liabilities that are not covered by insurance.
While we seek to maintain appropriate levels of insurance, not all claims are insurable and we may experience major incidents of a nature that are not covered by insurance. We presently have insurance through our warehouse operators for our goods while they are warehoused and direct insurance to cover our goods while they are in transit. We do not have other insurances that cover, among other things, employee-related accidents and injuries, other property damage and liability deriving from our activities. We maintain an amount of insurance protection that we believe is adequate, but there can be no assurance that such insurance will continue to be available on acceptable terms or that our insurance coverage will be sufficient or effective under all circumstances and against all liabilities to which we may be subject. We could, for example, be subject to substantial claims for damages upon the occurrence of several events within one calendar year. In addition, our insurance costs may increase over time in response to any negative development in our claims history or due to material price increases in the insurance market in general.
We are a holding company whose principal source of operating cash is the income received from our subsidiary.
We are dependent on the income generated by our subsidiary in order to make distributions and dividends on the ordinary shares. The amount of distributions and dividends, if any, which may be paid to us from our operating subsidiary will depend on many factors, including such subsidiary’s results of operations and financial condition, limits on dividends under applicable law, its constitutional documents, documents governing any indebtedness, and other factors which may be outside our control. If our operating subsidiary does not generate sufficient cash flow, we may be unable to make distributions and dividends on the ordinary shares.
Our significant shareholders have considerable influence over our corporate matters.
Each of Chee Boon Chiew and Zhi Min Sun holds 48%, 13% and 16% respectively, of our issued and outstanding ordinary shares. Each of them, either collectively (which would aggregate into a controlling interest in us) or individually, will hold considerable influence over corporate matters requiring shareholder approval, such as electing directors and approving material mergers, acquisitions or other business combination transactions. This concentrated control will limit your ability to influence corporate matters and could also discourage others from pursuing any potential merger, takeover or other change of control transactions, which could have the effect of depriving the holders of our ordinary shares of the opportunity to sell their shares at a premium over the prevailing market price
Our significant shareholders may have potential conflicts of interest with us, which may materially and adversely affect our business and financial condition.
Because our significant shareholders have, either collectively or individually, considerable influence over our corporate matters, their interests may differ from the interests of our company as a whole. These shareholders could, for example, appoint directors and management without the requisite experience, relations or knowledge to steer our company properly because of their affiliations or loyalty, and such actions may materially and adversely affect our business and financial condition. Currently, we do not have any arrangements to address potential conflicts of interest between these shareholders and our company. If we cannot resolve any conflict of interest or dispute between us and the shareholders, we would have to rely on legal proceedings, which could result in the disruption of our business and subject us to substantial uncertainty as to the outcome of any such legal proceedings.
Our auditor is not inspected by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) .
The audit report included in this annual report is prepared by an auditor who is not inspected by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and, as such, you may be deprived of the benefits of such inspection.
Our independent registered public accounting firm that issues the audit reports included in our annual reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), as auditors of companies that are traded publicly in the United States and a firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (the “PCAOB”), is required by the laws of the United States to undergo regular inspections by the PCAOB to assess its compliance with the applicable laws of the United States and professional standards. Because our auditor is located in the People’s Republic of China, a jurisdiction where the PCAOB is currently unable to conduct inspections and access critical accounting records without the approval of the Chinese authorities, our auditor is not currently inspected by the PCAOB. Inspections conducted by the PCAOB outside of China have identified deficiencies in those firms’ audit procedures and quality control procedures, which may be addressed as part of the inspection process to improve future audit quality and prevent accounting irregularities. This lack of PCAOB inspections in China prevents the PCAOB from regularly evaluating audit documentation located in China and its related quality control procedures. As a result, investors may be deprived of the benefits of PCAOB inspections. In a joint public statement on April 21, 2020, the Chairman of the SEC, the Chairman of the PCAOB, SEC Chief Accountant and Directors of the SEC Divisions of Corporation Finance and Investment Management reminded market participants that this inability of the PCAOB to inspect the audit work and practices of PCAOB-registered accounting firms in China (including Hong Kong, to the extent their audit clients have operations in China) represented a significant risk to both investors and finance professionals.
Risks Related to Our Ordinary Shares
We are an emerging growth company within the meaning of the Securities Act and may take advantage of certain reduced reporting requirements.
We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from requirements applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, most significantly, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 for so long as we are an emerging growth company until the fifth anniversary from the date of our initial listing. As a result, if we elect not to comply with such auditor attestation requirements, our investors may not have access to certain information they may deem important.
The JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company does not need to comply with any new or revised financial accounting standards until such date that a private company is otherwise required to comply with such new or revised accounting standards. However, we have elected to “opt out” of this provision and, as a result, we will comply with new or revised accounting standards as required when they are adopted for public companies. This decision to opt out of the extended transition period under the JOBS Act is irrevocable.
An active trading market for our ordinary shares may not develop and the trading price for our ordinary shares may fluctuate significantly.
This is no public market for and trading in our ordinary shares. Our ordinary shares are listed on the OTCQB market, but we cannot assure you that a liquid public market for our ordinary shares will develop. If an active public market for our ordinary shares does not develop, the market price and liquidity of our ordinary shares may be materially and adversely affected.
The trading price of our ordinary shares is likely to be volatile, which could result in substantial losses to investors.
The trading price of our ordinary shares is likely to be volatile and could fluctuate widely due to factors beyond our control. This may happen because of broad market and industry factors, akin to the performance and fluctuation of the market prices of other companies with business operations located mainly in Hong Kong or the People’s Republic of China that have listed their securities in the United States. A number of Chinese companies have listed or are in the process of listing their securities on U.S. stock markets. The securities of some of these companies have experienced significant volatility, including price declines in connection with their initial public offerings. The trading performances of these Chinese companies’ securities after their offerings may affect the perception and attitudes of investors toward Chinese companies listed in the United States in general and consequently may impact the trading performance of our ordinary shares, regardless of our actual operating performance.
In addition to market and industry factors, the price and trading volume for our ordinary shares may be highly volatile due to a number of factors, including the following:
| ● | regulatory developments affecting us or our industry, and customers of our after-school education services; |
| ● | actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly results of operations and changes or revisions of our expected results; |
| ● | changes in the market condition, market potential and competition in after-school education services; |
| ● | announcements by us or our competitors of new products, services, expansions, investments, acquisitions, strategic partnerships or joint ventures; |
| ● | fluctuations in global and Chinese economies; |
| ● | changes in financial estimates by securities analysts; |
| ● | adverse publicity about us; |
| ● | additions or departures of our key personnel and senior management; |
| ● | release of lock-up or other transfer restrictions on our outstanding equity securities or sales of additional equity securities; and |
| ● | potential litigation or regulatory investigations |
Any of these factors may result in large and sudden changes in the volume and price at which our ordinary shares will trade.
In the past, shareholders of public companies have often brought securities class action suits against those companies following periods of instability in the market price of their securities. If we were involved in a class action suit, it could divert a significant amount of our management’s attention and other resources from our business and operations and require us to incur significant expenses to defend the suit, which could harm our results of operations. Any such class action suit, whether or not successful, could harm our reputation and restrict our ability to raise capital in the future. In addition, if a claim is successfully made against us, we may be required to pay significant damages, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Substantial future sales or perceived potential sales of our ordinary shares in the public market could cause the price of our ordinary shares to decline.
Sales of substantial amounts of our ordinary shares in the public market or the perception that these sales could occur, could adversely affect the market price of our ordinary shares. A significant number of our issued outstanding ordinary shares is held by several large shareholders and are available for sale, subject to volume and other restrictions as applicable under Rules 144 and 701 under the Securities Act. Their sale or perceived sale into the market may cause the price of our ordinary shares to decline.
If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, the market price for our ordinary shares and trading volume could decline.
The trading market for our ordinary shares will depend in part on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. If research analysts do not establish and maintain adequate research coverage or if one or more of the analysts who covers us downgrades our ordinary shares or publishes inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, the market price for our ordinary shares would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of our company or fail to publish reports on us regularly, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which, in turn, could cause the market price or trading volume for our ordinary shares to decline.
Because we do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future after this offering, you must rely on price appreciation of our ordinary shares for return on your investment.
We currently intend to retain most, if not all, of our available funds and any future earnings after this offering to fund the development and growth of our business. As a result, we do not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Therefore, you should not rely on an investment in our ordinary shares as a source for any future dividend income.
Our board of directors has complete discretion as to whether to distribute dividends, subject to certain requirements of Cayman Islands law. Under Cayman Islands law, a Cayman Islands company may pay a dividend out of either profit or share premium account, provided that in no circumstances may a dividend be paid if this would result in the company being unable to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business. Even if our board of directors decides to declare and pay dividends, the timing, amount and form of future dividends, if any, will depend on, among other things, our future results of operations and cash flow, our capital requirements and surplus, the amount of distributions, if any, received by us from our subsidiaries, our financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors. Accordingly, the return on your investment in our ordinary shares will likely depend entirely upon any future price appreciation of our ordinary shares. We cannot guarantee that our ordinary shares will appreciate in value after this offering or even maintain the price at which you purchased the ordinary shares. You may not realize a return on your investment in our ordinary shares and you may even lose your entire investment in our ordinary shares.
Our memorandum and articles of association may contain deemed anti-takeover provisions that could have a material adverse effect on the rights of holders of our ordinary shares.
Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association contain limited provisions that may limit the ability of others to acquire control of our company or cause us to engage in change-of-control transactions. These provisions could have the effect of depriving our shareholders of an opportunity to sell their shares at a premium over prevailing market prices by discouraging third parties from seeking to obtain control of our company in a tender offer or similar transaction. For example, our board of directors has the authority subject to any resolution of the shareholders to the contrary, to issue shares with preferred rights and to otherwise fix their designations, powers, preferences, privileges, and relative participating, optional or special rights and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions, including dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption and liquidation preferences, any or all of which may be greater than the rights associated with our ordinary shares. Such shares could be issued quickly with terms calculated to delay or prevent a change in control of our company or make removal of management more difficult. If our board of directors decides to issue shares with preferred rights, the price of our ordinary shares may fall and the voting and other rights of the holders of our ordinary shares may be materially and adversely affected.
You may face difficulties in protecting your interests, and your ability to protect your rights through U.S. courts may be limited, because we are incorporated under Cayman Islands law.
We are an exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands. Our corporate affairs are governed by our memorandum and articles of association, the Companies Law (2018 Revision) of the Cayman Islands and the common law of the Cayman Islands. The rights of our shareholders to take action against our directors, actions by our minority shareholders and the fiduciary duties of our directors to us under Cayman Islands law are to a large extent governed by the common law of the Cayman Islands. The common law of the Cayman Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the Cayman Islands as well as from the common law of England, the decisions of whose courts are of persuasive authority, but are not binding, on a court in the Cayman Islands. The rights of our shareholders and the fiduciary duties of our directors under Cayman Islands law are not as clearly established as they would be under statutes or judicial precedent in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the Cayman Islands has a less developed body of securities laws than the United States. Some U.S. states, such as Delaware, have more fully developed and judicially interpreted bodies of corporate law than the Cayman Islands. In addition, Cayman Islands companies may not, as a matter of U.S. federal laws, have standing to initiate a shareholder derivative action in a federal court of the United States.
The Cayman Islands courts are also unlikely (i) to recognize or enforce against us judgments of courts of the United States based on certain civil liability provisions of U.S. securities laws, or (ii) to impose liabilities against us, in original actions brought in the Cayman Islands, based on certain civil liability provisions of U.S. securities laws that are penal in nature.
There is no statutory recognition in the Cayman Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, although the courts of the Cayman Islands will in certain circumstances recognize and enforce a non-penal judgment of a foreign court of competent jurisdiction without re-examination of the merits of the underlying dispute.
As a result of all of the above, our public shareholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests in the face of actions taken by our management, members of our board of directors or our large shareholders than they would as public shareholders of a company incorporated in the United States.
Certain judgments obtained against us by our shareholders may not be enforceable.
We are a Cayman Islands exempted company and all of our assets are located outside of the United States.
All of our current operations are conducted in Hong Kong SAR. In addition, all of our current directors and officers are nationals and residents of countries other than the United States and all of their assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult or impossible for you to bring an action against us or against these individuals in the United States in the event that you believe that your rights have been infringed under the U.S. federal securities laws or otherwise. Even if you are successful in bringing an action of this kind, the laws of the Cayman Islands and of Hong Kong and Singapore may render you unable to enforce a judgment against our assets or the assets of our directors and officers.
We are a foreign private issuer within the meaning of the rules under the Exchange Act, and as such we are exempt from certain provisions applicable to United States domestic public companies.
Because we are a foreign private issuer under the Exchange Act, we are exempt from certain provisions of the securities rules and regulations in the United States that are applicable to U.S. domestic issuers, including:
| ● | the rules under the Exchange Act requiring the filing of quarterly reports on Form 10-Q or current reports on Form 8-K with the SEC; |
| ● | the sections of the Exchange Act regulating the solicitation of proxies, consents, or authorizations in respect of a security registered under the Exchange Act; |
| ● | the sections of the Exchange Act requiring insiders to file public reports of their stock ownership and trading activities and liability for insiders who profit from trades made in a short period of time; and |
| ● | the selective disclosure rules by issuers of material nonpublic information under Regulation FD. |
Press releases relating to financial results and material events will also be furnished to the SEC on Form 6-K. However, the information we are required to file with or furnish to the SEC will be less extensive and less timely compared to that required to be filed with the SEC by U.S. domestic issuers. As a result, you may not be afforded the same protections or information, which would be made available to you, were you investing in a U.S. domestic issuer.
As a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands, we are permitted to adopt certain home country practices in relation to corporate governance matters that differ significantly from the corporate governance listing standards under the applicable United States mainboard; these practices may afford less protection to shareholders than they would enjoy if we complied fully with the corporate governance listing standards under the mainboards in the United States.
In the event we are eventually listed on a United States mainboard, as a Cayman Islands we are subject to the corporate governance listing standards under rules of the applicable mainboard. However, typically, a foreign private issuer like us is permitted to follow the corporate governance practices of its home country. Certain corporate governance practices in the Cayman Islands, which is our home country, may differ significantly from the corporate governance listing standards under the applicable United States mainboard. Shareholders of Cayman Islands exempted companies like us have no general rights under Cayman Islands law to inspect corporate records or to obtain copies of lists of shareholders of these companies. Our directors have discretion under our articles of association to determine whether or not, and under what conditions, our corporate records may be inspected by our shareholders, but are not obliged to make them available to our shareholders. This may make it more difficult for you to obtain the information needed to establish any facts necessary for a shareholder motion or to solicit proxies from other shareholders in connection with a proxy contest.
Certain corporate governance practices in the Cayman Islands, which is our home country, differ significantly from requirements for companies incorporated in other jurisdictions such as the United States.
To the extent we choose to follow home country practice with respect to corporate governance matters, our shareholders may be afforded less protection than they otherwise would under rules and regulations applicable to U.S. domestic issuers.
We will incur increased costs as a result of being a public company.
We are a new SEC public reporting company and expect to incur significant accounting, legal and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company. We expect the relevant rules and regulations applicable to public companies to increase our accounting, legal and financial compliance costs and to make certain corporate activities more time-consuming and costly. Our management will be required to devote substantial time and attention to our public company reporting obligations and other compliance matters. We are currently evaluating and monitoring developments with respect to these rules and regulations, and we cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs. Our reporting and other compliance obligations as a public company may place a strain on our management, operational and financial resources and systems for the foreseeable future.
In the past, shareholders of a public company often brought securities class action suits against the company following periods of instability in the market price of that company’s securities. If we were involved in a class action suit, it could divert a significant amount of our management’s attention and other resources from our business and operations, which could harm our results of operations and require us to incur significant expenses to defend the suit. Any such class action suit, whether or not successful, could harm our reputation and restrict our ability to raise capital in the future. In addition, if a claim is successfully made against us, we may be required to pay significant damages, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
U.S. buyers purchasing our ordinary shares may not reap the benefits of using a depositary.
U.S. buyers purchasing our ordinary shares are doing so without a depositary and accordingly may not reap the benefits of a depositary such as proper recordkeeping, distribution of shareholder communications, payment of dividends in US dollars as opposed to our native or functional currency, reduced administrative costs, avoiding foreign taxes on each transaction and other services. Additionally U.S. buyers may have to appoint foreign brokers to transact in our ordinary shares.”
Risks Related to Taxation
Changes in tax law and practice may reduce any net returns for shareholders.
The tax treatment of the Company, our shareholders and any subsidiary of ours (including Grand World), any special purpose vehicle that we may establish and any other company which we may acquire are all subject to changes in tax laws or practices in the Cayman Islands, the U.S., Hong Kong, the People’s Republic of China and any other relevant jurisdiction. Any change may reduce the value of your investment in our ordinary shares.
Failure to maintain our tax status may negatively affect our financial and operating results and shareholders.
We are incorporated in the Cayman Islands but we are not subject to any income, withholding or capital gains taxes in the Cayman Islands.
If we were to be considered to be resident in or to carry on a trade or business within the United States for U.S. taxation purposes or in any other country in which we are not currently treated as having a taxable presence, we could be subject to U.S. income tax or taxes in such other country on all or a portion of our profits, as the case may be, which may negatively affect our financial and operating results.
Taxation of returns from assets located outside the Cayman Islands may reduce any net return to shareholders.
Grand World is subject to taxes in Hong Kong. The Grand World Acquisition has therefore increased the number of jurisdictions in which we have, directly or indirectly, an economic exposure to local taxes and to changes in tax laws or practices.
To the extent that any other company or business which we acquire is established outside the Cayman Islands, it is possible that any return we receive from such company or business may be reduced by irrecoverable withholding or other local taxes and this may reduce the value of your investment in our ordinary shares.
We may become resident in or reincorporate in another jurisdiction in connection with any future acquisition and such a change may result in taxes imposed on shareholders.
We may become resident in or reincorporate in another jurisdiction. Such a transaction may require a shareholder to recognize taxable income in the jurisdiction in which the shareholder is a tax resident or in which its members are resident if it is a tax transparent entity. We do not anticipate making any cash distributions to shareholders to pay such taxes. Shareholders may be subject to withholding taxes or other taxes with respect to their ownership of ordinary shares after any such reincorporation.
There can be no assurance that we will be able to make returns for shareholders in a tax-efficient manner.
We intend to structure our holding of Grand World and any other acquisition in a fiscally efficient manner. We have made certain assumptions regarding taxation. However, if these assumptions are not correct, taxes may be imposed with respect to our assets, or we may be subject to tax on our income, profits, gains or distributions (either on a liquidation and dissolution or otherwise) in a particular jurisdiction or jurisdictions in excess of taxes that were anticipated. This could alter the post-tax returns for shareholders (or shareholders in certain jurisdictions). The level of return for shareholders may also be adversely affected. Any change in laws or tax authority practices could also adversely affect any post-tax returns of capital to shareholders or payments of dividends. In addition, we may incur costs in taking steps to mitigate any such adverse effect on the post-tax returns for shareholders.
If any dividend is declared in the future and paid in a foreign currency, U.S. Holders may be taxed on a larger amount in U.S. Dollars than the U.S. Dollar amount actually received.
U.S. Holders (as defined under “Taxation– Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations”, below) will be taxed on the U.S. Dollar value of dividends at the time they are received, even if they are not converted to U.S. Dollars or are converted at a time when the U.S. Dollar value of the dividends has fallen. The U.S. Dollar value of the payments made in the foreign currency will be determined for tax purposes at the spot rate of the foreign currency to the U.S. Dollar on the date the dividend distribution is deemed included in such U.S. Holder’s income, regardless of whether or when the payment is in fact converted into U.S. Dollars.
If we are a passive foreign investment company for United States federal income tax purposes for any taxable year, United States holders of our ordinary shares could be subject to adverse United States federal income tax consequences.
A non-United States corporation will be a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, for United States federal income tax purposes for any taxable year if either (i) at least 75% of its gross income for such year is passive income or (ii) at least 50% of the value of its assets (based on an average of the quarterly values of the assets) during such year is attributable to assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income (the “assets” test. A separate determination must be made after the close of each taxable year as to whether a non-United States corporation is a PFIC for that year. Based on the current and anticipated value of our assets, we believe we were a PFIC for United States federal income tax purposes for our taxable year ending March 31, 2019, and we may be a PFIC for United States federal income tax purposes for our current taxable year ending March 31, 2020.
In determining whether we are a PFIC under the assets test, cash is considered by the United States Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) to be a passive asset. During our taxable year ending March 31, 2020, we believe that the amount of cash we had on hand was greater than 50% of our total assets. The composition of our assets during the current taxable year may cause us to continue to be classified as a PFIC. The determination of whether we will be a PFIC for our current taxable year or a future year may depend in part upon how quickly we spend our liquid assets, and on the value of our goodwill and other unbooked intangibles not reflected on our balance sheet. (which may depend upon the market value of our ordinary shares from time to time). Further, while we will endeavor to use a classification methodology and valuation approach that is reasonable, the IRS may challenge our classification or valuation of our goodwill and other unbooked intangibles for purposes of determining whether we are a PFIC in the current or one or more future taxable years.
If we are a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder holds ordinary shares, certain adverse United States federal income tax consequences could apply to such U.S. Holder. As discussed under “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Consequences”, a U.S. Holder may be able to make certain tax elections that would lessen the adverse impact of PFIC status; however, in order to make such elections the U.S. Holder will usually have to have been provided information about the company by us, and there is no assurance that the company will provide such information.

Our Strategy
We intend to grow our business profitably and create shareholder value through the following strategic initiatives:
Build an integrated group of best-in-class healthcare related consumer products companies and brands within existing and related healthcare consumer product categories and expand our geographic footprint through strategic acquisitions and relationships.
Our goal is to transform our company into an integrated best-in-class, global marketer and distributor of healthcare consumer products, within and outside of the healthcare consumer product category and the broader consumer product sector. We believe there are significant growth opportunities in the underlying consumer healthcare markets in the countries in which we supply the products and that the Grand World Acquisition provides a strong platform on which to grow our business and expand and enhance our market share in the healthcare consumer product industry in key geographic markets.
Leverage our acquisition expertise, strong management team and access to capital to identify and evaluate attractive growth opportunities.
Our founder, Guowen Ren (the “Founder”), and our CEO, Chee Boon Chiew, have significant experience and expertise, and have been highly successful, in identifying, acquiring and integrating value-added businesses. Pursuant to an Independent Consultant Agreement dated January 1, 2018, we retained Mr. Ren as our independent consultant to advise us on strategy and strategic alliances, capital markets strategy, potential acquisitions and market opportunities for a period of four years. In consideration of providing these services, we have agreed to pay Mr. Ren in the form of 6,000,000 ordinary shares. We believe that this expertise, our access to capital and the deep industry knowledge of our management team will position us to acquire or partner with related and complementary healthcare consumer product businesses that can enhance our market position, create synergies and fully leverage our existing marketing and supply chain capabilities, which we believe will allow us to deliver sustained profitable growth and maximize shareholder value.
Aligning our business with consumer preferences.
Our goal is to create, acquire or partner with healthcare consumer product businesses and brands that strongly align with consumer needs and preferences, that have the highest growth and margin potential and that leverage our existing portfolio of brands.
Integrating our marketing program
We plan to integrate our marketing program which will include customer flyers, brochures and promotional pieces. We also plan to publish sales and marketing magazines quarterly, with health care tips and product information and sponsor and organize important social activities, such as sales rallies, motivational events, and sales and training seminars for our distributors and their sales forces. These activities are expected not only to reflect our high-level social responsibility, but also make us unique in the industry. We believe that this kind of operation will continue to effectively promote our reputation and our brand name.
Commitment to research
We plan to seek partnerships with the research centers of well-known universities worldwide to further increased awareness of the products that we sell and to research market demand for potential future products. We have increased our investment in market research to ensure that the products we launch or acquire address well established or on-trend market needs. In order to ensure the development and acquisition of products that fit this criteria, we have implemented a structured process through which we take new products from idea generation, through concept screening, concept/products laboratories and early volume sizing, to final validation. Specifically, we work closely with the research and development team of the chosen manufacturer/supplier tasked with creating new products based on our requirements. Once a sample product is provided by the manufacturer/supplier, we will then conduct product trials and provide feedback to the manufacturer/supplier. This process will repeat itself until we are satisfied with the product and confirms its final product specifications. The final product specifications will form the basis of the product inspection sheet between us and the manufacturer/supplier. Finally, when the product is created, the manufacturer/supplier will provide us with the supporting documentation for product registration in the countries where the product is sold. The relationship between us and our manufacturer suppliers is symbiotic and collegial to the products the Company sells.
Private Placements
Between April 2017 and October 20, 2017, we entered into subscription agreements and closed on several non-brokered private placements of an aggregate 223,600,000 ordinary shares at a subscription price of $0.01 per share for total gross proceeds of $2,236,000. The private placements were with 374 subscribers, who comprise the selling shareholders in the Registration Statement on Form F-1, as amended, which went effective January 31, 2019. The proceeds of the raise are for general working capital purposes.
We initially relied on the exemptions from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Regulation S under the Securities Act for purposes of the private placements of the ordinary shares.
We have not completed any private placements since then although we are in the process of effecting one since September 2019.
B. Business overview.
We are, through our subsidiary, Grand World, a trading and logistics company headquartered in Hong Kong.
Grand World has signed exclusive purchase agreements with suppliers located in the United States, Mainland China, Korea and Malaysia and sell to wholesale customers healthcare related consumer products in approximately 30 different counties including the United States, Canada, Ecuador, Colombia, Peru, Bolivia and Mexico in North and South America; Australia, New Zealand, PNG, Solomon Islands and Vanuatu in Oceania; Italy in West Europe; Turkey and UAE in Middle East; Ivory Coast, Cameroon, Senegal, Kenya, Togo, Nigeria and Uganda in Africa; and Hong Kong, Taiwan, Malaysia, Philippine, Singapore, Cambodia, Indonesia, Thailand, Myanmar, Timor Leste, Vietnam, Korea and in Asia.
We do not manufacture any of the products we sell but instead, have entered into exclusive purchase agreements with our suppliers. We currently trade 3 main products, namely AlphaMeta, AlphaSpin and Angels Secret. To a much smaller extent, sales of Alpha Vmax, JMS3 and JMR4 comprised less than 1% of our total sales for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020. We did not sell any Gravity Water System or Hozenn Cleanser in the most recently completed fiscal year.

Manufacturing and Supply
Our suppliers are responsible for the sourcing of raw materials for and manufacture of our products. AlphaSpin is manufactured in Germany, AlphaMeta in Thailand and Angels Secret in the People’s Republic of China.
Our products are generally made to order and the lead time for manufacture ranges from 30 days for Angels Secret, 45 days for AlphaSpin and 60 days for AlphaMeta. When our products are manufactured and ready for collection from our suppliers, Grand World will arrange for the products to be picked up from our suppliers and drop-shipped to our customers around the world. Shipping time ranges from 15-100 days depending on our customers’ location and is usually by sea unless our customers request otherwise. We may, in order to alleviate the risk of unavailability of products, order more products than required. The excess products will be stored with our suppliers and applied toward the fulfillment on future orders.
Only AlphaSpin is shipped directly to Grand World’s warehouse in China, whereupon it will be on-shipped to our customers from there.

JM Ocean Avenue Cameroun SUARL | 30% |
PT. JMOA Indonesia International | 12% |
JM Ocean Avenue Togo SARLU | 12% |
JM Ocean Avenue Côte d’Ivoire SARLU | 11% |
We typically enter into 3-year supply contracts with our customers, which is terminable upon proper notice provided that no contract may be terminated until all outstanding purchase orders have been fully performed, expired or terminated pursuant to their respective terms. The supply contracts typically provide for payment of a deposit of 50% of the value of products ordered in any purchase order within 5 working days of our acceptance of such purchase order. The balance is due within 90 days of the date stated in the bill of lading evidencing shipment of the products to the customer. If a customer fails to make payment on time, late interest of 8% per annum is levied on the outstanding balance until payment is received in full.
Competition
Because of the unique nature of AlphaSpin and its health benefits, we are not aware of any market studies on AlphaSpin and its market share. We are aware of a product called “Bio Disk” manufactured by Soul Healthcare Products Factory and supplied by CAMAZ Health Care Co., Ltd, both from China, which have similar properties to AlphaSpin.
The closest comparable product to AlphaMeta is whey protein and we believe our closest competitors, based on the type of whey protein product and place of manufacture and distribution are Guangzhou Inch Bio-Tech Co., Ltd from China, Cn Lab Canada, Asian Group from China and Guangzhou Endless Healthy Biotechnology Co., Ltd from China.
Angels Secret competes in the sanitary napkin market generally worldwide because it is sold our distributors in over 30 countries. However, based purely on country of manufacture, we believe Quanzhou Huifeng Sanitary Articles Co., Ltd, Shenzhen Yaobang Commodity Co.,Ltd, Yijia (Fujian) Sanitary Appliances Co., Ltd and Wenzhou Fangrou Sanitary Ware Co., Ltd are our main competitors.
As our customers are mainly distributors and trading companies worldwide, we do not have any seasonality in our sales.
Sales, Marketing and Pricing
We believe we offer premium quality products. We plan to increase our market shares by the following strategies:
| ● | We plan to market our products through an integrated marketing program that includes customer flyers, brochures and promotional pieces. We also plan to publish sales and marketing magazines quarterly, with health care tips and product information.
|
| ● | We plan to sponsor and organize important social activities, such as sales rallies, motivational events, and sales and training seminars for our distributors and their sales force. These activities are expected not only to reflect our high-level of social responsibility, but also make us unique in the industry. We believe that this kind of promotion will effectively enhance our company reputation and our brand name. |
| ● | We plan to target upscale customers in well-developed countries and regions and wealthy segments in developing countries, where there is increasing demand for quality fast moving consumer goods. |
We believe that the increase demand for more wellness and healthcare products is inevitable. We plan to develop, source, market and trade healthcare related consumer products in the global market and when practicable, acquire an existing company or business in the production or distribution of health consumer goods. Our principle business objective for the next 12 months and beyond such time will be to achieve long-term growth potential through development and distribution of various healthcare related consumer products and acquisition of one or more businesses rather than immediate, short-term earnings. Below are some of our strategies to meet this rising demand:
| ● | We plan to seek partnerships with the research centers of well-known universities worldwide to further increase awareness of the products that we sell and to research market demand for potential future products. |
| ● | We plan to seek partnerships with credible institutions and organizations that will facilitate building brand awareness and researching demand for other products. |
In order to ensure that our operations are able to cope with our marketing and expansion strategy, these are some of our planning, we shall continue to enhance our manufacture selection process and strictly assess a manufacturer’s qualification and product quality before entering into procurement contract with them. We also plan to work with the International Standardisation Organisation (“ISO”) to obtain quality certification in our operations.
We follow a simple pricing process. Generally, all our products will be marked up 15% to 20% from our cost price depending on the uniqueness of the product and our customer’s profile. Customers who place larger order or more frequent orders enjoy favorable pricing.

Emerging Growth Company Status
We are an “emerging growth company”, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act enacted on April 5, 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). For as long as we are an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding advisory “say-on-pay” and “say-when-on-pay” votes on executive compensation and shareholder advisory votes on golden parachute compensation. Under the JOBS Act, we will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of:
| ● | the last day of the fiscal year during which we have total annual gross revenues of $1 billion or more; |
| ● | the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of our common stock; |
| ● | the date on which we have, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt; or |
| ● | the date on which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) (we will qualify as a large accelerated filer as of the first day of the first fiscal year after we have (i) more than $700 million in outstanding common equity held by our non-affiliates and (ii) been public for at least 12 months; the value of our outstanding common equity will be measured each year on the last day of our second fiscal quarter). |
The JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company may utilize the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act, for complying with new or revised accounting standards. However, we are choosing to “opt out” of such extended transition period, and, as a result, we will comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for companies that are not emerging growth companies. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that our decision to opt out of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards is irrevocable.

The ECO applies equally to full-time and part-time employees who are employed under service agreements or apprenticeships.
If an employee sustains an injury or dies as a result of an accident arising out of and in the course of his employment, his employer is generally liable to pay compensation under the ECO even if the employee might have contributed to the accident occurred.
Pursuant to the ECO, all employers (including contractors and subcontractors) are obliged to take out insurance policies to cover their liabilities arising from the ECO and the common law as a result of injuries sustained by their employees in the course of their employments. Similarly, under section 32 of the ECO, an employee who suffers incapacity or dies arising from an occupational disease is entitled to receive the same compensation as that payable to employees injured in occupational accidents. Further, section 40 of the ECO provides that an employer is not permitted to employ any employee in any employment unless there is in force in relation to such employee a policy of insurance issued by an insurer for an amount not less than that specified in the ECO.

Minimum Wage
The prescribed minimum hourly wage rate (currently set at HK$34.5 per hour) during the wage period for every employee is govern by the Minimum Wage Ordinance (Chapter 608 of the Laws of Hong Kong) (the “MWO”). Section 15 of the MWO provides that any provision of employment contract which purports to extinguish or reduce the right, benefit or protection conferred on the employee under the MWO is void.
Taxation
The Inland Revenue Ordinance (Chapter 112 of the Laws of Hong Kong) imposes taxes on property, earnings and profits in Hong Kong. The Inland Revenue Ordinance provides, among others, that persons, which include corporations, partnerships, trustees and bodies of persons, carrying on any trade, profession or business in Hong Kong are chargeable to tax all profits (excluding profits arising from the sale of capital assets) arising in or derived from Hong Kong from such trade, profession or business.
Our profits arising in or derived from Hong Kong are subject to the profit tax regime under the Inland Revenue Ordinance. The two-tier profits tax rates system was introduced under the Inland Revenue (Amendment)(No.3) Ordinance 2018 (“the Ordinance”) of Hong Kong became effective on April 1, 2018. Under the two-tier profit tax rates regime, the profits tax rate for the first HK$ 2 million (approximately $255,050) of assessable profits of a corporation will be subject to the lowered tax rate, 8.25% while the remaining assessable profits will be subject to the legacy tax rate, 16.5%.
Proposed regulatory regime on medical devices
There is currently no specific legislation to regulate the import, distribution, sale or use of medical devices in Hong Kong except for those devices which contain pharmaceutical products or emit ionising radiation. To safeguard public health, a risk-based framework for regulating the supply of medical devices in Hong Kong was proposed in a consultation document titled “Regulation of Medical Devices” in July 2003 issued by the Department of Health.
The proposed framework classifies medical devices into four classes based on their risk levels to patients, users and other persons following the recommendations made by the Global Harmonisation Task Force and comprises three main areas: (i) pre-market control to ensure that medical devices conform with the safety, performance and quality requirements before they can be placed on the market; (ii) post-market control to enable responsive control measures be placed against defective or unsafe medical devices; and (iii) use control to restrict the possession and use of certain high-risk medical devices.
Pending the enactment of legislation, an administrative control system referred to as the Medical Device Administrative Control System (“MDACS”) has been implemented in phases since 26 November 2004 to raise public awareness to the safe use of medical devices and facilitate the transition to the long-term statutory control. The MDACS is built on the same principles as the proposed statutory regime and features (i) a listing system for medical devices under which manufacturers and importers of medical devices (except Class I devices) could voluntarily list their medical devices with the Department of Health; and (ii) an adverse incident reporting system to minimise the recurrence of adverse incidents.
Under the MDACS, the manufacturer should be responsible for determining the risk class of its devices. The manufacturer should document its justification for placing its product into a particular risk class. A number of factors, including for example the duration of device contact with the body, the degree of invasiveness, whether the device delivers medicinal products or energy to the patient, whether they are intended to have a biological effect on the patient and local versus systemic effects. These factors may, alone or in combination, affect device classification. If, based on the manufacturer’s intended purpose, two or more classification rules apply to the device, the device is allocated the highest level of classification indicated. Class I medical devices bear lowest risk, and examples of Class I medical devices include electric beds and stretchers. Class II medical devices bear low to moderate risk, and examples of Class II medical devices include biopsy needles and suction tubings. Class III medical devices bear moderate to high risk, and examples of Class III medical devices include lung ventilator and bone fixation plate. Class IV medical devices bear highest risk, and examples of Class IV medical devices include ligation clips.
The Medical Device Control Office (“MDCO”), an office under the Department of Health of the HKSAR, which is responsible for the running of the MDACS, maintains lists of local manufacturers, importers, distributors, local responsible persons and medical devices that have been shown to conform to accepted standards of safety and efficacy. For a medical device to be listed, the local responsible person is responsible for demonstrating that the device conforms to the essential principles of safety and performance of medical devices which are designed to ensure the safety and efficacy of the medical devices, and the additional labelling requirements set out in the document titled “Overview of the Medical Device Administrative Control System” issued by the Department of Health. A device or person may be delisted if found to be not conforming to the MDACS requirements or improper. All lists maintained by the MDCO under the listing system are accessible by the public.
Insurance
We have insurance coverage for our goods stored in the warehouse through our warehouse operator. We have purchased insurance for our goods which covers loss or damage while in transit. We undertake periodic risk reviews to assess whether our insurance is in line with our business risks and whether it is adequate. Our consideration would involve weighing the costs of such insurance against the benefits of coverage it provides.
Legal Proceedings
We are not currently subject to any legal proceedings, and to the best of our knowledge, no such proceeding is threatened, the results of which would have a material impact on our properties, results of operation, or financial condition. Nor, to the best of our knowledge, are any of our officers or directors involved in any legal proceedings in which we are an adverse party.

Revenue
Our revenue for the years ended March 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 was $5,055,265, $7,622,593 and $7,157,209, respectively. Our revenue breakdown by major products for relevant periods is as follows:

Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue for the years ended March 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, was $3,939,449, $5,851,077 and $4,970,947, respectively. Cost of revenue decreased by 33% in the year ended March 31, 2019 from the year ended March 31, 2019 and is in tandem with the 34% decrease of revenue for the same periods. Cost of revenue increased by 18% from the year ended March 31, 2018 to the year ended March 31,2019 and this was a result of a decrease in sales volume year over year because of market competition.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the years ended March 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 was $1,115,816, $1,771,516 and $2,186,262, respectively. Gross profit margin was 22.1%, 23.2% and 30.5%, respectively. The gross profit margin decrease for the year ended March 31, 2020 from the prior year and for the year ended March 31, 2019 from the prior year was primarily due to (1) the adjustment of the unit price for some of our products in February 2019 to maintain our market competitiveness; and (2) the low gross profit margins of the new products with minimal sales.
General and Administration Expenses
Our general and administration expenses for the years ended March 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 was $5,328,855, $1,393,364 and $933,142, respectively. General and administration expenses consist primarily of bad debt allowance expenses, office rental expenses, payroll expenses and professional fees. The bad debt allowance expenses were $3,785,151, nil and nil, respectively; the rental fees were $205,432, $169,403 and $122,472, respectively; the payroll expenses were $641,553, $444,464 and $330,564, respectively; and the professional fee were $448,174, $553,550 and $370,782, respectively for each of the years ended March 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018.
The increase in general and administration expenses from the year ended March 31, 2019 to the year ended March 31, 2020 was primarily due to (1) the bad debt allowance of accounts receivable; (2) new members of the management team joining in March 2019 and salary adjustments for the management team; and (3) a new operation office being leased in October 2018 , of which 12 months and 5 months of rental fee was recognized for the year ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. With regard to the bad debt allowance of accounts receivable, our customers’ business and their collections have been significantly hindered because of the current COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the global economy. As a result of the impact on our customers’ collections, they have likewise delayed payments to us. We have treated some of the delays as an expected credit loss and provided a bad debt allowance of accounts receivable.
The increase in general and administration expenses in the year ended March 31, 2020 was partially offset by the decrease in professional fee.
The increase in general and administration expenses from the year ended March 31, 2018 to the year ended March 31, 2019 was primarily due to (1) more members of the management team; (2) professional fees incurred in the preparation of our registration statement; and (3) a new operation office leased in October 2018.
Selling Expenses
Our selling expenses, primarily consisting of our sales team’s payroll for the years ended March 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 was $98,994, $178,858 and $132,602, respectively. Payroll expenses were $84,303, $167,977 and $126,003, respectively. The fluctuation was primarily due to the fluctuation in payroll expenses of our sales team corresponds to sales fluctuations of our products.
Provision for Income Tax Expense
Cayman Islands
We are a Cayman Islands exempted company and we currently conduct our operations primarily through Grand World, our subsidiary in Hong Kong. Under the current laws of the Cayman Islands, we are not subject to tax on our income or capital gains. In addition, our payment of dividends, if any, is not subject to withholding tax in the Cayman Islands.
Hong Kong
The two-tier profits tax rates system was introduced under the Inland Revenue (Amendment)(No.3) Ordinance 2018 (“the Ordinance”) of Hong Kong became effective on April 1, 2018. Under the two-tier profit tax rates regime, the profits tax rate for the first HK$ 2 million (approximately $255,405) of assessable profits of a corporation will be subject to the lowered tax rate, 8.25% while the remaining assessable profits will be subject to the legacy tax rate, 16.5%.
Our provision for income tax benefit for the year ended March 31, 2020 was $598,538, while the provision for income tax expenses for year ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $135,012 and $312,598, respectively, and the effective tax rates were 13.9%, 67.7% and 27.9%, respectively.
Impact from COVID-19
In early January of 2020, a novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) outbreak took place in China. Subsequently, it has spread rapidly to Asia and other parts of the world. The COVID-19 outbreak has resulted in worldwide economic disruptions, as well as stringent government measures by different regions’ government to contain its transmissions including quarantines, travel restrictions, and temporary closures of non-essential businesses.
COVID-19 has had an impact on our operation since February 2020, resulting in delayed logistics, increased purchase price of products and decreased order volumes. In February 2020, a period of time that the domestic warehouses were locked down due to COVID-19 outbreak in China and we changed our delivery warehouse from Guangzhou China to Malaysia. However, in March 2020, as COVID-19 has been contained in China but broken out outside China, domestic logistics recovered but overseas logistics was affected instead. Warehouses in Malaysia were locked down, reopening only on May 18, 2020, which has affected the efficiency ofdeliveries. The outbreak of COVID-19 has caused increased purchase price of raw material and further increased purchase prices of finished products. We reported decreased order volumes since March 2020, mainly due to the fact that our clients’ business and operation have also been adversely affected by COVID-19.
To mitigate the impact of COVID-19, we have increased the unit selling prices of our by approximately 10% since May 2020.We also have enriched our product categories by launching new products to attract more clients. As of [June 15, 2020], COVID-19 is still being transmitting around the world. And we mainly generated revenue from outside Mainland China and we expect our business and financial performance for the year ended March 31, 2021 to be affected adversely from COVID-19. We also expect the aforementioned negative impact to gradually abate in the coming seasons when the outbreak stabilizes in other regions in the world or when a vaccine gets introduced. Nevertheless, due to the uncertainty on future developments, which cannot be predicted with confidence at this time, we are not able to assess the overall or long-term effects the outbreak may have on our financial results and business operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We had cash of $929,218 and working capital of $2,925,977 as of March 31, 2020.
We have financed our operations since inception from the sale of ordinary shares, capital contributions from shareholders and cash flows from operations. We expect to continue to finance our operations by selling our ordinary shares and by generating income from the sale of our products.
We believe that available cash and accounts receivable should enable us to meet presently anticipated cash needs for at least the next 12 months after the date that the financial statements are issued.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company has not entered into any transactions with unconsolidated entities whereby the Company has financial guarantees, subordinated retained interests, derivative instruments, or other contingent arrangements that expose the Company to material continuing risks, contingent liabilities, or any other obligation under a variable interest in an unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk, or credit risk support to the Company.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and the Company’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and operating results require the Company’s management to make judgments, assumptions, and estimates that affect the amounts reported in its consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” of this Form 20-F describes the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates and such differences may be material.
Management believes the Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates are those related to revenue recognition and inventory valuation. Management considers these policies critical because they are both important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and operating results, and they require management to make judgments and estimates about inherently uncertain matters.
Accounts Receivable
The Company maintains allowance for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to estimate the allowance. Past due accounts are generally written off against the allowance for bad debts only after all collection attempts have been exhausted.
Inventory
Inventory primarily consists of finished goods and is valued at the lower of the inventory’s cost (weighted average basis) or net realizable value. Management compares the cost of inventory with its net realizable value and an adjustment is made to write down inventory to net realizable value, if lower.
Lease
On April 1, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02 (FASB ASC Topic 842). The adoption of Topic 842 resulted in the presentation of operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. See Note 8 for additional information.
At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is or contains a lease if it conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange of a consideration. To assess whether a contract is or contains a lease, the Company assess whether the contract involves the use of an identified asset, whether it has the right to obtain substantially all the economic benefits from the use of the asset and whether it has the right to control the use of the asset.
The right-of-use assets and related lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date. The Company recognizes operating lease expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Operating lease right-of-use of assets
The right-of-use of asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and less any lease incentive received.
Operating lease liabilities
Lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the outstanding lease payments at the commencement date, discounted using the Company incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise fixed lease payments, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee and any exercise price under a purchase option that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise.
Lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments, if there is a change in the estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or if there is any change in the Company assessment of option purchases, contract extensions or termination options.
Short-term leases and leases of low value assets
The Company has elected to not recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low value assets. Lease payments associated with these leases are expensed as incurred.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The core principle of the new revenue standard is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The following five steps are applied to achieve that core principle:
Step 1: Identify the contract with the customer
Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract
Step 3: Determine the transaction price
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
Step 5: Recognize revenue when the company satisfies a performance obligation
Revenue is recognized when (or as) the Company satisfies performance obligations by transferring a promised goods to a customer. Revenue is measured at the transaction price which is based on the amount of consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring the promised goods to the customer. Given the nature of our business, customer product orders are fulfilled at a point in time and not over a period of time. The Company experienced no material product returns and recorded no reserve for sales returns for each of the periods presented. The Company does not have any future obligations directly or indirectly related to product resale by the customer.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 requires companies to measure credit losses utilizing a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires a consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including those interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting this standard, but based on a preliminary assessment, does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The amendment removes Step 2 of a goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. Goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. The guidance should be adopted on a prospective basis for the annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company has completed the assessment of the adoption of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements, the adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
The FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.
ASU No. 2018-13 modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820 as follows:
Removals
The following disclosure requirements were removed from Topic 820:
● | The amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy; |
| |
● | The policy for timing of transfers between levels; |
| |
● | The valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements; and |
| |
● | For nonpublic entities, the changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in earnings for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period. |
The following disclosure requirements were modified in Topic 820:
● In lieu of a roll forward for Level 3 fair value measurements, a nonpublic entity is required to disclose transfers into and out of Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy and purchases and issues of Level 3 assets and liabilities;
● For investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value, an entity is required to disclose the timing of liquidation of an investee’s assets and the date when restrictions from redemption might lapse only if the investee has communicated the timing to the entity or announced the timing publicly; and
● The amendments clarify that the measurement uncertainty disclosure is to communicate information about the uncertainty in measurement as of the reporting date.
Additions
The following disclosure requirements were added to Topic 820; however, the disclosures are not required for nonpublic entities:
● The changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period; and
● The range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. For certain unobservable inputs, an entity may disclose other quantitative information (such as the median or arithmetic average) in lieu of the weighted average if the entity determines that other quantitative information would be a more reasonable and rational method to reflect the distribution of unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements.
In addition, the amendments eliminate at a minimum from the phrase “an entity shall disclose at a minimum” to promote the appropriate exercise of discretion by entities when considering fair value measurement disclosures and to clarify that materiality is an appropriate consideration of entities and their auditors when evaluating disclosure requirements.
Effective Date
The amendments in ASU No. 2018-13 are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019.
The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date.
Early adoption is permitted. An entity is permitted to early adopt any removed or modified disclosures upon issuance of ASU No. 2018-13 and delay adoption of the additional disclosures until their effective date.
The FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2018-15, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract, which reduces complexity for the accounting for costs of implementing a cloud computing service arrangement.

C. Board practices.
Board of Directors
Our board of directors currently consists of one member. Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provide that our board of directors must be composed of at least one director. The number of directors is determined from time to time by resolution of our shareholders. Mr. Chee Boon Chiew serves as Chairman of our board of directors. The Chairman has primary responsibility for providing leadership and guidance to our board and for managing the affairs of our board.
Pursuant to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, our directors are appointed either by ordinary resolution of our shareholders or by board resolution provided that such appointment does not cause the number of directors to exceed any number fixed in accordance with the articles of association as the maximum number of directors.
Committees of the Board of Directors
Audit Committee. We intend to establish an audit committee of the board which will consist of soon-to-be-nominated independent directors. The audit committee’s duties will be to recommend to the board the engagement of independent auditors to audit our financial statements and to review our accounting and auditing principles. The audit committee will review the scope, timing and fees for the annual audit and the results of audit examinations performed by the internal auditors and independent public accountants, including their recommendations to improve the system of accounting and internal controls. The audit committee will at all times be composed exclusively of directors who are, in the opinion of the board, free from any relationship which would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment as a committee member and who possess an understanding of financial statements and generally accepted accounting principles.
Audit Committee Financial Expert. The board currently acts as our audit committee. The board is still in the process of finding an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Regulation S-K and directors that are “independent” as that term is used in Section 10A of the Exchange Act.
Compensation Committee. We intend to establish a compensation committee of the board. The compensation committee will review and approve our salary and benefits policies, including compensation of executive officers.
Nominating Committee. We do not presently have a nominating committee. Our board of directors currently acts as our nominating committee.
Code of Ethics
Because we are still at our infancy, we have not yet adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to our principal executive officers and principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions and also to other employees.
Duties of Directors
Under Cayman Islands law, our directors have a fiduciary duty to act honestly in good faith with a view to our best interests. Our directors also have a duty to exercise the care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances.

Terms of Directors and Officers
Our directors serve at the pleasure of our shareholders. Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association and Cayman Islands law do not provide for fixed terms of office. Accordingly, our directors are not subject to a term of office and hold office until such time as they resign or are removed from office by ordinary resolution of our shareholders. A director will be removed from office automatically if, among other things, the director (1) becomes bankrupt or makes any arrangement or composition with his creditors; (2) dies or is found by our Company to be of unsound mind or (3) all the other directors (being not less than two in number) determine that he or she should be removed as a director by board resolution.

Item 8. Financial Information
A. Consolidated Statements and Other Financial Information
See “Item 18. Financial Statements.”
Legal Proceedings
We are currently not a party to any legal, arbitration or administrative proceedings that, in the opinion of our management, are likely to have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations, and we are not aware of any threat of any of the above-mentioned proceedings. However, we may from time to time become a party to various legal, arbitration or administrative proceedings arising.
Dividend Policy
We currently intend to retain most, if not all, of our available funds and any future earnings to operate and expand our business. We do not have any plan to declare or pay any dividends in the near future.
Our board of directors has complete discretion in deciding whether to distribute dividends, subject to the laws of the Cayman Islands. In addition, our shareholders may by ordinary resolution declare dividends, but no dividend may exceed the amount recommended by our directors. Under Cayman Islands law, we may pay dividends only out of either profit or share premium, provided that in no circumstances may a dividend be paid if this would result in our Company being unable to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business. Even if our board of directors decides to pay dividends, the timing, amount and form of future dividends, if any, will depend on, among other things, our future results of operations and cash flow, our capital requirements and surplus, the amount of distributions, if any, received by us from our subsidiaries, our financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors.
B. Significant Changes
We have not experienced any significant changes since the date of our audited consolidated financial statements included in this annual report.
Item 9. The Offer and Listing.
A. Offer and listing details.
There is currently no established market for and very limited trading in our ordinary shares. Our ordinary shares are listed on the the OTCQB market under the symbol “JMEXF”. Our ordinary shares trade and have traded on a limited or sporadic basis and should not be deemed to constitute an established public trading market. These factors may reduce the potential market for our ordinary shares by reducing the number of potential investors. This may make it more difficult for investors in our ordinary shares to sell shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of their shares. This could cause our share price to decline, and there is no assurance that there will be liquidity in our ordinary shares.
In addition, The Securities Enforcement and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990 requires additional disclosure relating to the market for penny stocks in connection with trades in any stock defined as a penny stock. The SEC has adopted regulations that generally define a penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to a few exceptions which we do not meet. Unless an exception is available, the regulations require the delivery, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated therewith.
B. Plan of distribution.
No disclosure is required in response to this Item.
C. Markets.
There is no market for our ordinary shares.
D. Selling Shareholders.
No disclosure is required in response to this Item.
E. Dilution.
No disclosure is required in response to this Item.
F. Expenses of the Issue.
No disclosure is required in response to this Item.
Item 10. Additional Information.
A. Share Capital.
No disclosure is required in response to this Item.
B. Memorandum and articles of association.
We are an exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands and our affairs are governed by our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association and the Companies Law (2018 Revision) of the Cayman Islands (“Companies Law”) and the common law of the Cayman Islands.
As of the date of this annual report, our authorized share capital is US$10,000,000 divided into 1,000,000,000 shares of a par value of US$0.01 each (“Ordinary Shares”). As of the date of this annual report, 630,861,000 Ordinary Shares, are issued and outstanding. All of our issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares are fully paid.
The following are summaries of material provisions of our memorandum and articles of association and of the Companies Law, insofar as they relate to the material terms of our Ordinary Shares.
Exempted Company
We are an exempted company incorporated with limited liability under the Companies Law. The Companies Law distinguishes between ordinary resident companies and exempted companies. Any company that is registered in the Cayman Islands but conducts business mainly outside of the Cayman Islands may apply to be registered as an exempted company. The requirements for an exempted company are essentially the same as for an ordinary resident company except for the exemptions and privileges listed below:
| ● | an exempted company does not have to file an annual return of its shareholders with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands; |
| ● | an exempted company is not required to open its register of members to the general public for inspection; |
| ● | an exempted company does not have to hold an annual general meeting; |
| ● | an exempted company may issue no par value shares; |
| ● | an exempted company may obtain an undertaking against the imposition of any future taxation (such undertakings are usually given for 20 years in the first instance); |
| ● | an exempted company may register by way of continuation in another jurisdiction and be deregistered in the Cayman Islands; |
| ● | an exempted company may register as a limited duration company; and |
| ● | an exempted company may register as a segregated portfolio company. |
Ordinary Shares
General
All of our issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares are fully paid and non-assessable. Our Ordinary Shares are issued in registered form and are issued when registered in our register of shareholders. We may not issue shares to bearer. Our shareholders, who are non-residents of the Cayman Islands, may freely hold and vote their Ordinary Shares.
Dividends
The holders of our Ordinary Shares are entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared by our board of directors subject to our memorandum and articles of association and the Companies Law. Under Cayman Islands law, our company may pay a dividend out of either profit or share premium account, provided that in no circumstances may a dividend be paid if this would result in our company being unable to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business.
Register of Members
Under Cayman Islands law, we must keep a register of members and there must be entered therein:
| ● | the names and addresses of the members, a statement of the shares held by each member, in certain cases distinguishing each share by its number, and of the amount paid or agreed to be considered as paid, on the shares of each member; |
| ● | the date on which the name of any person was entered on the register as a member; and |
| ● | the date on which any person ceased to be a member. |
Under Cayman Islands law, the register of members of our company is prima facie evidence of the matters set out therein (i.e. the register of members will raise a presumption of fact on the matters referred to above unless rebutted) and a member registered in the register of members will be deemed as a matter of Cayman Islands law to have legal title to the shares as set against its name in the register of members.
If the name of any person is, without sufficient cause, entered in or omitted from the register of members, or if default is made or unnecessary delay takes place in entering on the register the fact of any person having ceased to be a member, the person or member aggrieved or any member or our company itself may apply to the Cayman Islands Grand Court for an order that the register be rectified, and the Court may either refuse such application or it may, if satisfied of the justice of the case, make an order for the rectification of the register.
Voting Rights
Holders of our Ordinary Shares have the right to receive notice of, attend, speak and vote at general meetings of our company. At any general meeting a resolution put to the vote of the meeting shall be decided on a show of hands, unless a poll is (before or on the declaration of the result of the show of hands) demanded by the chairman or one or more shareholder present in person or by proxy entitled to vote and who together hold not less than 10% of all voting power of our share capital in issue and entitled to vote. An ordinary resolution to be passed by the shareholders requires the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes attaching to the Ordinary Shares cast in a general meeting, while a special resolution requires the affirmative vote of no less than two-thirds of the votes attaching to the Ordinary Shares cast in a general meeting. Both ordinary resolutions and special resolutions may also be passed by a unanimous written resolution signed by all the shareholders of our company, as permitted by the Companies Law and our memorandum and articles of association. A special resolution will be required for important matters such as a change of name or making changes to our memorandum and articles of association.
General Meetings and Shareholder Proposals
As a Cayman Islands exempted company, we are not obliged by the Companies Law to call shareholders’ annual general meetings. Our memorandum and articles of association provide that we may (but are not obliged to) in each year hold a general meeting as our annual general meeting in which case we will specify the meeting as such in the notices calling it, and the annual general meeting will be held at such time and place as may be determined by our directors.
Shareholders’ general meetings may be convened by a majority of our board of directors. The Companies Law provides shareholders with only limited rights to requisition a general meeting and does not provide shareholders with any right to put any proposal before a general meeting. However, these rights may be provided in a company’s articles of association. Our memorandum and articles of association allow our shareholders holding in aggregate, at the date of such requisition, not less than ten per cent in par value of all our shares in issue and entitled to vote to requisition an extraordinary general meeting of the shareholders, in which case our board is obliged to convene an extraordinary general meeting and to put the resolutions so requisitioned to a vote at such meeting. However, our memorandum and articles of association do not provide our shareholders with any right to put any proposals before annual general meetings or extraordinary general meetings not called by such shareholders.
A quorum required for any general meeting of shareholders consists of two shareholders being individuals present in person or by proxy or, if a corporation or other non-natural person, by its duly authorized representative, unless the Company has only one shareholder in which case the quorum shall be that one shareholder present in person or by proxy. Advance notice of at least five clear calendar days is required for the convening of any general meeting of our shareholders.
Transfer of Ordinary Shares
Subject to the restrictions in our memorandum and articles of association as set out below, any of our shareholders may transfer all or any of his or her Ordinary Shares by an instrument of transfer in the usual or common form or any other form approved by our board of directors.
Our board of directors may, in its absolute discretion, decline to register any transfer of any Ordinary Share.
If our directors refuse to register a transfer they are obligated to, within two months after the date on which the instrument of transfer was lodged, send to the transferee notice of such refusal.
The transferor of any Ordinary Share shall be deemed to remain the holder of that share until the name of the transferee is entered in the register of members.
For the purpose of determining members entitled to notice of, or to vote at any meeting of members or any adjournment thereof, or members entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distributions, or in order to make a determination of members for any other purpose, our board of directors may provide that the register of members shall be closed for transfers for a stated period which shall not in any case exceed forty (40) days.
Liquidation
On the winding up of our company, if the assets available for distribution amongst our shareholders shall be more than sufficient to repay the whole of the share capital at the commencement of the winding up, the surplus shall be distributed amongst our shareholders in proportion to the par value of the shares held by them at the commencement of the winding up, subject to a deduction from those shares in respect of which there are monies due, of all monies payable to our company for unpaid calls or otherwise. If our assets available for distribution are insufficient to repay all of the paid-up capital, the assets will be distributed so that the losses are borne by our shareholders in proportion to the par value of the shares held by them. We are a “limited liability” company incorporated under the Companies Law, and under the Companies Law, the liability of our members is limited to the amount, if any, unpaid on the shares respectively held by them. Our memorandum of association contains a declaration that the liability of our members is so limited.
Calls on Ordinary Shares and Forfeiture of Ordinary Shares
Our board of directors may from time to time make calls upon shareholders for any amounts unpaid on their Ordinary Shares in a notice served to such shareholders at least fourteen clear calendar days prior to the specified time and place of payment. The Ordinary Shares that have been called upon and remain unpaid on the specified time are subject to forfeiture.
Redemption, Repurchase and Surrender of Ordinary Shares
We may issue shares on terms that such shares are subject to redemption, at our option or at the option of the holders thereof. The redemption of such shares shall be effected on such terms and in such manner as may be determined, before the issue of such Ordinary Shares, by a special resolution of our shareholders. Our company may also repurchase any of our Ordinary Shares provided that the manner and terms of such purchase have been approved by our board of directors and agreed with the relevant member. Under the Companies Law, the redemption or repurchase of any share may be paid out of our company’s profits or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of shares made for the purpose of such redemption or repurchase, or out of the share premium account. Redemption or repurchase of any share may also be paid out of capital if the company can, immediately following such payment, pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business. In addition, under the Companies Law no such share may be redeemed or repurchased (a) unless it is fully paid up, (b) if such redemption or repurchase would result in there being no shares outstanding other than treasury shares, or (c) if the company has commenced liquidation. In addition, our company may accept the surrender of any fully paid share for no consideration.
Variations of Rights of Shares
If at any time our share capital is divided into different classes of shares, the rights attached to any class of shares may, unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class, be varied without the consent of the holders of the issued shares of that class where such variation is considered by our board of directors not to have a material adverse effect upon such rights; otherwise, any such variation shall be made only with the written consent of the holders of two-thirds of the issued shares of that class or with the sanction of a resolution passed by a majority of not less than two thirds of the votes cast at a separate meeting of the holders of the shares of that class.
Inspection of Books and Records
Holders of our ordinary shares will have no general right under Cayman Islands law to inspect or obtain copies of our list of shareholders or our corporate records. However, we will provide our shareholders with annual audited financial statements. See “Additional Information”.
Changes in Capital
Our shareholders may from time to time by ordinary resolutions:
| ● | increase our share capital by such sum, to be divided into shares of such classes and amount, as the resolution prescribes; |
| ● | consolidate and divide all or any of our share capital into shares of a larger amount than our existing shares; |
| ● | sub-divide our existing shares, or any of them into shares of a smaller amount than that fixed by our memorandum of association; or |
| ● | cancel any shares which, at the date of the passing of the resolution, have not been taken or agreed to be taken by any person and diminish the amount of our share capital by the amount of the shares so cancelled. |
Our shareholders may by special resolution, subject to confirmation by the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands on an application by our company for an order confirming such reduction, reduce our share capital or any capital redemption reserve in any manner permitted by law.
Differences in Corporate Law
The Companies Law is derived, to a large extent, from the older Companies Acts of England but does not follow recent English law statutory enactments, and accordingly there are significant differences between the Companies Law and the current Companies Act of England. In addition, the Companies Law differs from laws applicable to Delaware corporations and their shareholders. Set forth below is a summary of certain significant differences between the provisions of the Companies Law applicable to us and the laws applicable to Delaware corporations and their shareholders.
Mergers and Similar Arrangements
The Companies Law permits mergers and consolidations between Cayman Islands companies and between Cayman Islands companies and non-Cayman Islands companies. For these purposes, (a) “merger” means the merging of two or more constituent companies and the vesting of their undertakings, property and liabilities in one of such companies as the surviving company and (b) a “consolidation” means the combination of two or more constituent companies into a consolidated company and the vesting of the undertakings, property and liabilities of such companies to the consolidated company. In order to effect such a merger or consolidation, the directors of each constituent company must approve a written plan of merger or consolidation, which must then be authorized by (a) a special resolution of the shareholders of each constituent company, and (b) such other authorization, if any, as may be specified in such constituent company’s articles of association. The written plan of merger or consolidation must be filed with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands together with a declaration as to, inter alia, the solvency of the consolidated or surviving company and the assets and liabilities of each constituent company and an undertaking that a copy of the certificate of merger or consolidation will be given to the members and creditors of each constituent company and that notification of the merger or consolidation will be published in the Cayman Islands Gazette. Court approval is not required for a merger or consolidation which is effected in compliance with these statutory procedures.
A merger between a Cayman Islands parent company and its Cayman Islands subsidiary or subsidiaries does not require authorization by a resolution of shareholders if a copy of the plan of merger is given to every member of each subsidiary company to be merged unless that member agrees otherwise. For this purpose, a subsidiary is a company of which at least 90% of the issued shares entitled to vote are owned by the parent company.
The consent of each holder of a fixed or floating security interest of a constituent company in a proposed merger or consolidation is required unless this requirement is waived by a court in the Cayman Islands.
Except in certain limited circumstances, a shareholder of a Cayman Islands constituent company who dissents from the merger or consolidation is entitled to payment of the fair value of his or her shares (which, if not agreed between the parties, will be determined by the Cayman Islands court) upon dissenting from a merger or consolidation, provide the dissenting shareholder complies strictly with the procedures set out in the Companies Law. The exercise of such dissenter rights will preclude the exercise by the dissenting shareholder of any other rights to which he or she might otherwise be entitled by virtue of holding shares, except for the right to seek relief on the grounds that the merger or consolidation is void or unlawful.
Separate from the statutory provisions relating to mergers and consolidations, the Companies Law also contains statutory provisions that facilitate the reconstruction and amalgamation of companies by way of schemes of arrangement, provided that the arrangement is approved by a majority in number representing three-fourths in value of the shareholders or class of shareholders or the creditors or class of creditors, as the case may be, that are present and voting either in person or by proxy at a meeting, or meetings, convened for that purpose. The convening of the meetings and subsequently the arrangement must be sanctioned by the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands. While a dissenting shareholder has the right to express to the court the view that the transaction ought not to be approved, the court can be expected to approve the arrangement if it determines that:
| ● | the statutory provisions as to the due majority vote have been met in each meeting of each relevant class; |
| ● | the shareholders have been fairly represented at the meeting in question and the statutory majority are acting bona fide without coercion of the minority to promote interests adverse to those of the class; |
| ● | the arrangement is such that may be reasonably approved by an intelligent and honest man of that class acting in respect of his interest; and |
| ● | the arrangement is not one that would more properly be sanctioned under some other provision of the Companies Law. |
The Companies Law also contains a statutory power of compulsory acquisition which may facilitate the “squeeze out” of dissenting minority shareholders upon a tender offer. When a tender offer is made and accepted by holders of 90% of the shares affected within four months, the offeror may, within a two-month period commencing on the expiration of such four month period, require the holders of the remaining shares to transfer such shares to the offeror on the terms of the offer. An objection can be made to the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands, but in order to succeed the dissenting shareholder would need to convince the Court that the offer is unfair.
If an arrangement and reconstruction is thus approved, or if a tender offer is made and accepted, a dissenting shareholder would have no rights comparable to appraisal rights, which would otherwise ordinarily be available to dissenting shareholders of United States corporations, providing rights to receive payment in cash for the judicially determined value of the shares.
Shareholders’ Suits
In principle, we will normally be the proper plaintiff to sue for a wrong done to us as a company, and as a general rule a derivative action may not be brought by a minority shareholder. However, based on English authorities, which would in all likelihood be of persuasive authority in the Cayman Islands, the Cayman Islands court can be expected to follow and apply the common law principles (namely the rule in Foss v. Harbottle and the exceptions thereto) so that a non-controlling shareholder may be permitted to commence a class action against, or a derivative action in the name of, a company to challenge the following acts in the following circumstances:
| ● | where the alleged wrong is illegal or ultra vires; |
| ● | where the transaction complained of, although not ultra vires, could be validly done or sanctioned only by a special resolution or special majority of shareholders; |
| ● | where the act complained of invades a personal or individual right of the shareholder seeking to bring the action; and |
| ● | where what has been done amounts to a “fraud on the minority” and the wrongdoers are themselves in control of the company. |
Directors’ Fiduciary Duties
Under Delaware corporate law, a director of a Delaware corporation has a fiduciary duty to the corporation and its shareholders. This duty has two components, the duty of care and the duty of loyalty. The duty of care requires that a director act in good faith, with the care that an ordinarily prudent person would exercise under similar circumstances. Under this duty, a director must inform himself of, and disclose to shareholders, all material information reasonably available regarding a significant transaction. The duty of loyalty requires that a director must act in a manner he or she reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the corporation.
A director must not use his or her corporate position for personal gain or advantage. This duty prohibits self-dealing by a director and mandates that the best interests of the corporation and its shareholders take precedence over any interest possessed by a director, officer or controlling shareholder not shared by the shareholders generally. In general, actions of a director are presumed to have been made on an informed basis, in good faith and in the honest belief that the action taken was in the best interests of the corporation. However, this presumption may be rebutted by evidence of a breach of one of the fiduciary duties. Should such evidence be presented concerning a transaction by a director, the director must prove the procedural fairness of the transaction and that the transaction was of fair value to the corporation.
As a matter of Cayman Islands law, a director of a Cayman Islands company is in the position of a fiduciary with respect to the company, and therefore he or she owes the following duties to the company—a duty to act bona fide in the best interests of the company, a duty not to make a personal profit out of his or her position as director (unless the company permits him or her to do so), a duty not to put himself or herself in a position where the interests of the company conflict with his or her personal interests or his or her duty to a third-party and a duty to exercise powers for the purpose for which such powers were intended. A director of a Cayman Islands company owes to the company a duty to act with skill and care. It was previously considered that a director need not exhibit in the performance of his or her duties a greater degree of skill than may reasonably be expected from a person of his or her knowledge and experience. However, English and commonwealth courts have moved towards an objective standard with regard to the required skill and care and these authorities are likely to be followed in the Cayman Islands.
Under our memorandum and articles of association, directors who are in any way, whether directly or indirectly, interested in a contract or proposed contract with our company shall be at liberty to vote in respect of any such contract provided that the nature of their interest in that contract is disclosed by him or her at or prior to its consideration by the board of directors and any vote thereon.
Majority Independent Board
A domestic U.S. company listed on a mainboard must comply with the requirement that a majority of the board of directors must be comprised of independent directors. As a Cayman Islands company, we are allowed to follow home country practices in lieu of certain corporate governance requirements under the applicable mainboard rules where there is no similar requirement under the laws of the Cayman Islands. Until we are upgraded to the mainboard, we do not intend to observe this rule.
Indemnification
Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s memorandum and articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime.
Our memorandum and articles of association provide that officers and directors shall be indemnified against any liability, action, proceeding, claim, demand, damages, costs or expenses (including legal expenses) whatsoever incurred in their capacities as such unless such losses or damages arise from the willful default or actual fraud of such directors or officers. This standard of conduct is generally the same as permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law for a Delaware corporation. In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and executive officers that provide such persons with additional indemnification beyond that provided in our memorandum and articles of association.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers or persons controlling us under the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
Shareholder Action by Written Resolution
Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a corporation may eliminate the right of shareholders to act by written consent by amendment to its certificate of incorporation. The Companies Law and our memorandum and articles of association provide that our shareholders may approve corporate matters by way of a unanimous written resolution signed by or on behalf of each shareholder who would have been entitled to vote on such matter at a general meeting without a meeting being held.
Shareholder Proposals
Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a shareholder has the right to put any proposal before the annual meeting of shareholders, provided it complies with the notice provisions in the governing documents. A special meeting may be called by the board of directors or any other person authorized to do so in the governing documents, but shareholders may be precluded from calling special meetings.
The Companies Law provides shareholders with only limited rights to requisition a general meeting and does not provide shareholders with any right to put any proposal before a general meeting. However, these rights may be provided in a company’s articles of association. Our articles of association allow our shareholders holding in aggregate, at the date of such requisition, not less than ten (10) per cent in par value of our share capital in issue and entitled to vote to requisition an extraordinary general meeting of our shareholders, in which case our board is obliged to convene an extraordinary general meeting and to put the resolutions so requisitioned to a vote at such meeting. Other than this right to requisition a shareholders’ meeting, our articles of association do not provide our shareholders with any other right to put proposals before annual general meetings or extraordinary general meetings. As an exempted Cayman Islands company, we are not obliged by law to call shareholders’ annual general meetings.
Cumulative Voting
Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, cumulative voting for elections of directors is not permitted unless the corporation’s certificate of incorporation specifically provides for it. Cumulative voting potentially facilitates the representation of minority shareholders on a board of directors since it permits the minority shareholder to cast all the votes to which the shareholder is entitled for a single director, which increases the shareholder’s voting power with respect to electing such director. There are no prohibitions in relation to cumulative voting under the laws of the Cayman Islands but our memorandum and articles of association do not provide for cumulative voting.
Removal of Directors
Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a director of a corporation may be removed with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Under our memorandum and articles of association, directors can be removed by an ordinary resolution of our shareholders. In addition, a director’s office shall be vacated if the director (i) becomes bankrupt or makes any arrangement or composition with his creditors; (ii) is found to be or becomes of unsound mind or dies; (iii) resigns his office by notice in writing to the Company; (iv) without special leave of absence from our board of directors, is absent from three consecutive meetings of the board and the board resolves that his office be vacated; or (v) is removed from office pursuant to any other provision of our memorandum and articles of association.
Transactions with Interested Shareholders
The Delaware General Corporation Law contains a business combination statute applicable to Delaware public corporations whereby, unless the corporation has specifically elected not to be governed by such statute by amendment to its certificate of incorporation, it is prohibited from engaging in certain business combinations with an “interested shareholder” for three years following the date on which such person becomes an interested shareholder. An interested shareholder generally is one which owns or owned 15% or more of the target’s outstanding voting shares within the past three years. This has the effect of limiting the ability of a potential acquiror to make a two-tiered bid for the target in which all shareholders would not be treated equally. The statute does not apply if, among other things, prior to the date on which such shareholder becomes an interested shareholder, the board of directors approves either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the person becoming an interested shareholder. This encourages any potential acquiror of a Delaware public corporation to negotiate the terms of any acquisition transaction with the target’s board of directors.
Cayman Islands law has no comparable statute. As a result, we cannot avail ourselves of the types of protections afforded by the Delaware business combination statute. However, although Cayman Islands law does not regulate transactions between a company and its significant shareholders, it does provide recourse where such transactions have the effect of perpetrating a fraud on the minority shareholders.
Dissolution and Winding Up
Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, unless the board of directors approves the proposal to dissolve, dissolution must be approved by shareholders holding 100% of the total voting power of the corporation. Only if the dissolution is initiated by the board of directors may it be approved by a simple majority of the corporation’s outstanding shares. The Delaware General Corporation Law allows a Delaware corporation to include in its certificate of incorporation a supermajority voting requirement in connection with dissolutions initiated by the board of directors. Under the Companies Law, our company may be dissolved, liquidated or wound up voluntarily by a special resolution of our shareholders, or by an ordinary resolution of our shareholders voluntarily on the basis that our company is unable to pay its debts as they fall due. In addition, a company may be wound up by an order of the courts of the Cayman Islands. The court has authority to order winding up in a number of specified circumstances including where it is, in the opinion of the court, just and equitable to do so.
Variation of Rights of Shares
If at any time, our share capital is divided into different classes of shares, under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a corporation may vary the rights of a class of shares with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares of such class, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Under our memorandum and articles of association and as permitted by the Companies Law, if our share capital is divided into more than one class of shares, we may vary the rights attached to any class without the consent of the holders of the issued shares of that class where such variation is considered by our board of directors not to have a material adverse effect upon such rights; otherwise, any such variation shall be made only with the written consent of the holders of two thirds of the issued shares of that class or with the sanction of a resolution passed by a majority of not less than two thirds of the votes cast at a separate meeting of the holders of the shares of that class.
Amendment of Governing Documents
Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a corporation’s governing documents may be amended with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Under the Companies Law and our memorandum and articles of association, our memorandum and articles of association may only be amended by a special resolution of our shareholders.
Inspection of Books and Records
Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, any shareholder of a corporation may for any proper purpose inspect or make copies of the corporation’s stock ledger, list of shareholders and other books and records.
Holders of our shares will have no general right under Cayman Islands law to inspect or obtain copies of our list of shareholders or our corporate records. However, we intend to provide our shareholders with annual reports containing audited financial statements.
Anti-Takeover Provisions
Some provisions of our memorandum and articles of association may discourage, delay or prevent a change of control of our company or management that shareholders may consider favorable, including a provision that authorizes our board of directors (subject to any direction that may be given by the Company in general meeting) to issue, inter alia, shares with preferred rights and to otherwise designate the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of such shares without any further vote or action by our shareholders.
However, under Cayman Islands law, our directors may only exercise the rights and powers granted to them under our memorandum and articles of association for a proper purpose and for what they believe in good faith to be in the best interests of our company.
Rights of Non-Resident or Foreign Shareholders
There are no limitations imposed by our memorandum and articles of association on the rights of non-resident or foreign shareholders to hold or exercise voting rights on our Ordinary Shares. In addition, there are no provisions in our memorandum and articles of association governing the ownership threshold above which shareholder ownership must be disclosed.
Staggered Board of Directors
The Companies Law does not contain statutory provisions that require staggered board arrangements for a Cayman Islands company. Our memorandum and articles of association do not provide for staggered board of directors.
C. Material Contracts.
Other than contracts entered into the ordinary course of business, during the two preceding fiscal years the Company has entered into the following material contracts (which are included as exhibits to this annual report):
Bonded Goods Warehousing Service Contract entered into by and between Grand World Pro Limited and Dachser International Freight Forwarding (Shenzhen) Co. Ltd, Guangzhou Branch dated December, 2018.
Freight Forwarder Agreement between Grand World Pro Limited and Dachser Shenzhen Co., Ltd Guangzhou Branch dated December 1, 2018.
Lease agreement between Grand World Pro Limited and Fu Wei Commercial Management (Shenzhen) Limited dated September 26, 2018.
Lease Agreement, dated May 4, 2020, between Great Honest Creation Limited and Grand World Pro Limited.
D. Exchange controls.
There are no material Cayman Islands laws, decrees, regulations or other legislation that impose foreign exchange controls on us or that affect our payment of dividends, interest or other payments to non-resident holders of our shares. Cayman Islands law and our Memorandum of Association and Articles of Association impose no limitations on the right of non-resident or foreign owners to hold or vote our common shares. Although we operate through our subsidiary located in Hong Kong, our functional currency is in United States dollars.
E. Taxation.
The following summary of Cayman Islands, Hong Kong and U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the Ordinary Shares is based upon laws and relevant interpretations thereof in effect as of the date of this prospectus, all of which are subject to change. This summary does not deal with all possible tax consequences relating to an investment in the Ordinary Shares, such as the tax consequences under state, local and other tax laws, or tax laws of jurisdictions other than the Cayman Islands, Hong Kong and the United States. To the extent that the discussion relates to matters of Cayman Islands tax law, it represents the opinion of Forbes Hare, our Cayman Islands counsel. To the extent that the discussion relates to matters of Hong Kong tax law, it represents the opinion of K. B. Chau & Co. our Hong Kong counsel.
Based on the facts and subject to the limitations set forth herein, the statements of law or legal conclusions under the caption “—Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations” constitute the opinion of Sichenzia Ross Ference LLP, our United States counsel, as to the material United States federal income tax consequences to United States Holders (as defined below) of an investment in the Ordinary Shares.
Cayman Islands Taxation
The Cayman Islands currently levies no taxes on individuals or corporations based upon profits, income, gains or appreciation and there is no taxation in the nature of inheritance tax or estate duty. There are no other taxes likely to be material to us levied by the government of the Cayman Islands except for stamp duties which may be applicable on instruments executed in, or, after execution, brought within the jurisdiction of the Cayman Islands.
There are currently no exchange control regulations or currency restrictions in the Cayman Islands.
Payments of dividends and capital in respect of our Ordinary Shares will not be subject to taxation in the Cayman Islands and, subject to any withholdings imposed pursuant to AEOI (as defined below), no withholding will be required on the payment of a dividend or capital to any holder of our Ordinary Shares. Gains derived from the disposal of our Ordinary Shares will not be subject to Cayman Islands income or corporation tax.
No stamp duty is levied in the Cayman Islands in respect of the issue or transfer of our Ordinary Shares.
An annual registration fee will normally be payable by us in the Cayman Islands which will be calculated by reference to the nominal amount of our authorized capital.
The Cayman Islands has signed an inter-governmental agreement with the United States to improve international tax compliance and the exchange of information and which gives effect to the automatic tax information exchange requirements of the US Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”). FATCA and the regulations promulgated thereunder impose a thirty percent (30%) withholding tax on certain payments of U.S. source income, such as interest and dividends, received by certain foreign entities, unless the payee entity agrees to comply with certain due diligence, reporting and related requirements. FATCA regulations provide for the identification of and reporting on certain direct and indirect U.S. Holders who are U.S. citizens and impact us and our shareholders.
The Cayman Islands has also committed, along with over 90 other countries, to the implementation of the OECD Standard for Automatic Exchange of Financial Account Information – Common Reporting Standard (the “CRS”). Cayman Islands regulations require “reporting financial institutions” to identify and report information in respect of specified persons in the jurisdictions which sign and implement the CRS. As the OECD initiative continues to develop, further inter-governmental agreements may be entered into by the Cayman Islands government which will form part of CRS.
“AEOI” means (i) Sections 1471 through 1474 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (or any amended or successor version thereof), and any associated legislation, regulations (including the U.S. Treasury Regulations), forms, instructions, notices or official pronouncements or other guidance issued now or in the future and any other legislation, regulations, forms, instructions or other guidance enacted, issued or published in any jurisdiction which seeks to implement similar financial account information reporting and/or withholding tax regimes; (ii) the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development Standard for Automatic Exchange of Financial Account Information in Tax Matters – the Common Reporting Standard and any associated guidance; (iii) any intergovernmental agreement or other similar agreement between the United States and one or more other governments or tax authorities that is entered into in order to facilitate compliance with, or otherwise relates to, any of the preceding, together with any regulations, forms, instructions or other guidance issued (now or in the future) by any government or tax authority in a jurisdiction other than the United States in relation to any intergovernmental agreement or similar agreement; (iv) any intergovernmental agreement, treaty, regulation, guidance, standard or other agreement between the Cayman Islands (or any Cayman Islands government body) and any other jurisdiction (including any government bodies or taxing authorities in such jurisdiction), entered into in order to comply with, facilitate, supplement or implement (or otherwise related to) the legislation, regulations, guidance or standards described in sub-paragraphs (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv); (v) any legislation, regulations, forms, instructions or other guidance relevant to the Cayman Islands that give effect to the matters outlined in the preceding sub-paragraphs; and (vi) any legislation in any jurisdiction that we reasonably believe to be similar to any of the foregoing.
You will be required to timely furnish to us any information, certification, representation, form or other documentation reasonably requested by us to fulfill our obligations under AEOI and to avoid being subject to withholding thereunder. Any such information provided to us may be shared with the Cayman Islands Tax Information Authority, the IRS and other governmental and taxing authorities and must be timely updated to the extent that such information has expired or become obsolete or inaccurate in any respect.
You should consult your own tax adviser regarding the impact of AEOI on your holding of Ordinary Shares.
Hong Kong Taxation
Hong Kong profits tax is chargeable on every person, including corporations, carrying on a trade, profession or business in Hong Kong in respect of profits arising in or derived from Hong Kong from such trade, profession or business (excluding profits arising from the sale of capital assets). However, profits arising from the sale of capital assets are not subject to Hong Kong profit tax. Whether (i) an activity amounted to trade, profession or business; (ii) an asset is capital in nature or revenue in naturel; and/or (iii) profits are arising in or derived from Hong Kong are questions of fact. The prevailing Hong Kong profits tax for a body corporation is 16.5%.
In addition, if the transfer of a share is required to be registered in a share register in Hong Kong (“Hong Kong Share”), stamp duty will be payable by the person(s) who effects any sale or purchase of such Hong Kong Share. The stamp duty in relation to transfer of Hong Kong Share is currently charged at the ad valorem rate of 0.1% of the consideration for, or (if greater) the value of, the shares transferred on each of the seller and purchaser. In other words, a total of 0.2% of the consideration for, or (if greater) the value of, the shares transferred is currently payable on a typical sale and purchase transaction of Hong Kong Share. In addition, the instrument of transfer (if required) will be subject to a flat rate of stamp duty of $5.00.
Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations
The following is a general summary of certain U.S. federal income tax considerations relating to the purchase, ownership and disposition of the ordinary shares by U.S. Holders (as defined below) that purchase the Ordinary Shares pursuant to the public offering and hold such Ordinary Shares as capital assets as defined under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code. This summary is based on the Code, the Treasury regulations issued pursuant to the Code, or the Treasury Regulations, and administrative and judicial interpretations thereof, all as in effect on the date hereof and all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect, or to different interpretation. Such change could materially and adversely affect the tax consequences described below. No assurance can be given that the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”), would not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a position contrary to any of the tax consequences described below. This summary is for general information only and does not address all of the tax considerations that may be relevant to specific U.S. Holders in light of their particular circumstances or to U.S. Holders subject to special treatment under U.S. federal income tax law (such as banks or other financial institutions, insurance companies, tax-exempt organizations, retirement plans, partnerships, regulated investment companies, dealers in stock, securities or currencies, brokers, real estate investment trusts, certain former citizens or residents of the United States, persons who acquire ordinary shares as part of a straddle, hedge, conversion transaction or other integrated investment, persons that have a “functional currency” other than the U.S. dollar, persons that own directly, indirectly or constructively 10.0% or more of our company’s shares, persons that are resident in or hold ordinary shares in connection with a permanent establishment outside the United States or persons that generally mark their securities to market for U.S. federal income tax purposes). This summary does not address any U.S. state or local or non-U.S. tax considerations or any U.S. federal estate, gift or alternative minimum tax considerations.
As used in this summary, the term “U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of ordinary shares that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (i) an individual citizen or resident of the United States, (ii) a corporation, or other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, or the District of Columbia, (iii) an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source or (iv) a trust, (a) if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over its administration and one or more “U.S. persons” (within the meaning of the Code) have the authority to control all of its substantial decisions, or (b) if a valid election is in effect for the trust to be treated as a U.S. person.
If an entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds the ordinary shares, the tax treatment of such partnership and each partner thereof will generally depend upon the status and activities of the partnership and such partner. A holder that is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes should consult its own tax adviser regarding the U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to it and its partners of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the Ordinary Shares.
Prospective investors should consult their tax advisers as to the particular tax considerations applicable to them relating to the purchase, ownership and disposition of Ordinary Shares, including the applicability of U.S. federal, state and local tax laws and non-U.S. tax laws.
Taxation of Dividends
Subject to the PFIC discussion below, a U.S. Holder will be required to include in gross income the gross amount of any distribution paid on the Ordinary Shares (including any amount of taxes withheld by our company) out of our company’s current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes). Distributions in excess of our company’s current and accumulated earnings and profits would be treated as a non-taxable return of capital to the extent of the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Ordinary Shares and thereafter as a gain from the sale of the Ordinary Shares, but only if our company calculates our earnings and profits in accordance with U.S. federal income tax principles. As our company does not at this time intend to make such calculations, a U.S. Holder should expect to treat the entire amount of any distribution received as a dividend.
In case of a U.S. Holder that is a corporation, dividends paid on the Ordinary Shares will be subject to regular corporate rates and will not be eligible for the “dividends received” deduction generally allowed to corporate shareholders with respect to dividends received from U.S. corporations.
Dividends received by an individual, trust or estate will be subject to taxation at standard tax rates, (plus the tax on investment income, discussed below). A reduced income tax rate applies to dividends paid by a “qualified foreign corporations” (if certain holding period requirements and other conditions are met). A non-U.S. corporation generally will be considered to be a qualified foreign corporation (i) if it is eligible for the benefits of a comprehensive tax treaty with the U.S. which includes an exchange of information program or (ii) with respect to any dividend it pays on stock which is readily tradable on an established securities market in the U.S. Since the United States does not have a tax treaty with the Cayman Islands, and since our company’s stock will not trade on an established securities market for purposes of this rule, dividends paid by our company will not be subject to a reduced rate of taxation.
Dividends received by an individual, trust or estate will be counted as investment income that is subject to the 3.8% surtax on net investment income. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors to determine whether, based on all of their investment income, they are subject to this tax.
Our company may be treated as a People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) “resident enterprise” under PRC law and if it is it may be required to withhold PRC income tax on dividends paid on the Ordinary Shares. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, U.S. Holders will be treated as having received the amount of PRC taxes withheld by our company, and as then having paid over the withheld taxes to the PRC taxing authorities. As a result of this rule, the amount of dividend income included in gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes by a U.S. Holder with respect to a payment of dividends may be greater than the amount of cash actually received (or receivable) by the U.S. Holder from our company with respect to the payment.
A U.S. Holder may be eligible, subject to a number of complex limitations, to claim a foreign tax credit in respect of any foreign withholding taxes imposed on dividends received on the Ordinary Shares. A U.S. Holder who does not elect to claim a foreign tax credit for foreign income tax withheld, may instead claim a deduction, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, in respect of such withholding, but only for a year in which such investor elects to do so for all creditable foreign income taxes. For purposes of calculating the foreign tax credit limitation, dividends paid by our company will, depending on the circumstances of the U.S. Holder, be either general or passive income.
Our company expects to pay dividends, if any, in non-U.S. currency. A dividend paid in non-U.S. currency must be included in a U.S. Holder’s income as a U.S. dollar amount based on the exchange rate in effect on the date such dividend is actually or constructively received, regardless of whether the dividend is in fact converted into U.S. dollars. If the dividend is converted to U.S. dollars on the date of receipt, a U.S. Holder generally will not recognize a foreign currency gain or loss. If the non-U.S. currency is converted into U.S. dollars on a later date, however, the U.S. Holder must include in income any gain or loss resulting from any exchange rate fluctuations. Such gain or loss will generally be ordinary income or loss and will be from sources within the United States for foreign tax credit limitation purposes. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences to them if our company pays dividends in non-U.S. currency.
Taxation of Sale, Exchange or Other Disposition of Ordinary Shares
Subject to the PFIC discussion below, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss upon the sale, exchange or other disposition of Ordinary Shares in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the amount realized on the sale, exchange or other disposition and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in such Ordinary Shares. This capital gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder’s holding period in the Ordinary Shares exceeds one year. Long-term capital gain of a non-corporate U.S. Holder is generally taxed at preferential rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. The gain or loss will generally be income or loss from sources within the United States for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the tax consequences if a foreign tax is imposed on the disposition of Ordinary Shares, including the availability of the foreign tax credit under an investor’s own particular circumstances.
A U.S. Holder that receives non-U.S. currency on the disposition of the Ordinary Shares will realize an amount equal to the U.S. dollar value of the foreign currency received on the date of disposition (or in the case of cash basis and electing accrual basis taxpayers, the settlement date) whether or not converted into U.S. dollars at that time. Very generally, the U.S. Holder will recognize currency gain or loss if the U.S. dollar value of the currency received on the settlement date differs from the amount realized with respect to the Ordinary Shares. Any currency gain or loss on the settlement date or on any subsequent disposition of the foreign currency generally will be U.S. source ordinary income or loss.
Passive Foreign Investment Company
Special U.S. federal income tax rules apply to a U.S. Holder that holds stock in a foreign corporation classified as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In general, we would be treated as a PFIC with respect to a U.S. Holder if, for any taxable year in which such U.S. Holder held our Ordinary Shares, either:
(i) at least 75% of our gross income for such taxable year consisted of passive income (e.g., dividends, interest, capital gains and rents derived other than in the active conduct of a rental business), ( the “income test”) ; or
(ii) at least 50% of the average value of our assets during such taxable year produced, or were held for the production of, passive income (the “assets” test”).
Due to the amount of cash that we had on hand during our year ending March 31, 2019, we believe that under the assets test we became classified as a PFIC for that tax year. Depending on how quickly we spend our cash, and on the value of our other assets, we may be classified as a PFIC for 2019, as well, and for future years.
If we were to be classified as a PFIC, a U.S. Holder would be subject to different taxation rules depending on whether the U.S. Holder (i) takes no action, (ii) makes an election to treat us as a “Qualified Electing Fund” (a “QEF election”) or (iii) if permitted, makes a “mark-to-market” election with respect to our Ordinary Shares (at present we do not believe that a mark-to-market election will be available with respect to our Ordinary Shares). A U.S. Holder of our shares will also be required under applicable Treasury Regulations, to file an annual information return (Form 8621) containing information regarding our company. Additional explanations of the PFIC rules are set forth below: this material is complex and may affect different U.S. Holders differently. Accordingly, U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors about the consequences of our company being classified as a PFIC and about what steps, if any, they might take to lessen the tax impact of our PFIC status on them.
Taxation of U.S. Holders Who Do Not Make a Timely QEF or Mark to Market Election
A U.S. Holder who does not make a timely QEF or mark-to-market election (a “Non-Electing Holder,”), as discussed below, will be subject to the following rules. Any (1) “excess distribution” received from us by the Non-Electing U.S. Holder (an “excess distribution is the portion of any distributions received by the Non-Electing Holder on our Ordinary Shares in a taxable year in excess of 125% of the average annual distributions received by the Non-Electing Holder in the three preceding taxable years, (or, if shorter, during the Non-Electing Holder’s holding period for our Ordinary Shares), and (2) gain realized on the sale, exchange or other disposition of our Ordinary Shares by the Non-Electing Holder, would be taxed as follows:
(i) the excess distribution or gain would be allocated ratably to each day of the Non-Electing Holders’ aggregate holding period for our Ordinary Shares
(ii) the amount allocated to the current taxable year and any prior taxable year before we became a PFIC would be taxed as ordinary income; and
(iii) the amount allocated to each of the prior taxable years would be subject to tax at the highest rate of tax applicable to the taxpayer for such prior year, and interest would be charged on the amount of tax so calculated for such prior year from the due date of the tax for such prior year to the date of payment of the prior year’s tax.
It should be noted that, until such time as we make a distribution, there are no tax consequences to Non-Electing Holders. However, if we ever did make a distribution it would in all likelihood be an excess distribution (because we would not have previously made any distributions to holders of Ordinary Shares). At that point, and for all subsequent distributions, the rules described above would apply to Non-Electing Holders. Set forth below is a discussion of how U.S. Holders could take action to lessen the impact of our PFIC status on them in future years, provided that we supply the information that they need in order to do so (which we are not obligated to do).
Taxation of U.S. Holders Making a Timely QEF Election
If a U.S. Holder makes a timely QEF election (a U.S. Holder which we refer to as an “Electing Holder,”) the Electing Holder must report each year for U.S. federal income tax purposes his pro rata share of our ordinary earnings and our net capital gain, if any, for our taxable year that ends with or within the taxable year of the Electing Holder, regardless of whether or not the Electing Holder actually received distributions from us. When an Electing Holder makes a QEF election, his adjusted tax basis in our Ordinary Shares is increased to reflect taxed but undistributed earnings and profits. Distributions of earnings and profits that had been previously taxed will result in a corresponding reduction in the adjusted tax basis in our Ordinary Shares and will not be taxed again once distributed. An Electing Holder would generally recognize capital gain or loss on the sale, exchange or other disposition of our Ordinary Shares.
A U.S. Holder can make a QEF election with respect to any year that we are a PFIC by filing IRS Form 8621 with his U.S. federal income tax return. This election must be made by the deadline (including extensions) for filing the U.S. Holder’s federal tax return for the year in question. A U.S. Holder who fails to make a timely election can request relief from the IRS to make a late election. A U.S. Holder who does not make a timely QEF for the first year for which we are a PFIC can make a QEF election for later year, but if he does so then he will also need to make a “purging election”. In a purging election, the U.S. Holder agrees to treat his PFIC stock as having been sold on the day that he makes the QEF election and he recognizes the gain, if any, that arises on the deemed sale. U.S. Holders should discuss their election alternatives with their own tax advisors. Once an election is made, the Electing Holder is subject to the QEF rules for as long as we are a PFIC.
It should be noted that in order to make a QEF election a U.S. Holder needs information from us concerning our PFIC status and our financial results for the year. We cannot assure our U.S. Holders that we will provide such information.
Taxation of U.S. Holders Making a “Mark-to-Market” Election
As an alternative to making a QEF election, a U.S. Holder may make a “mark-to-market” election with respect to our Ordinary Shares, but only if our Ordinary Shares are treated as “marketable stock” under IRS regulations. Stock is treated as “marketable stock” if it is traded on one or more “qualified” exchanges or other markets on at least 15 days during each calendar quarter (other than in de minimis amounts). A “qualified exchange” includes “a national securities exchange that is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission or the national market system established pursuant to section 11A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.” At present we have no plans to list our Ordinary Shares on a qualified exchange: until we do so, the mark-to-market election will not be available to our U.S. shareholders. (In any event, the mark-to-market election would apparently not be available with respect to any PFIC income generated by a subsidiary, and presently we expect that all of our income will be generated by a subsidiary.)
U.S. Holders should also be aware that a foreign company that becomes a PFIC while a U.S. shareholder owns stock in the company remains a PFIC with respect to that shareholder for as long as the shareholder holds the stock (even if the company is at some point no longer classified as a PFIC), unless the shareholder had made an appropriate election or a purging election. Accordingly, even though our PFIC status may have no immediate impact on a U.S. Holder’s U.S. tax liability (if we do not make any distributions or if we do not have any net earnings or capital gains), the U.S. Holder’s future tax liability as a shareholder in our company may be affected by elections that the U.S. Holder makes (or is unable to make) today. For this reason, it is important for U.S. Holders to consult their own tax advisors about the consequences of PFIC status.
Certain Reporting Requirements
Certain U.S. Holders are required to file information returns with the IRS, including IRS Form 926, Return by U.S. Transferor of Property to a Foreign Corporation, reporting transfers of cash (in excess of $100,000) or other property to our company and information relating to the U.S. Holder and our company. Substantial penalties may be imposed upon a U.S. Holder that fails to comply.
Certain individual U.S. Holders (and, under Treasury regulations, certain entities) may be required to report to the IRS (on Form 8938) information with respect to their investments in our ordinary shares not held through an account with a U.S. financial institution. U.S. Holders who fail to report required information could become subject to substantial penalties.
U.S. Holders are encouraged to consult with their own tax advisors regarding foreign financial asset reporting requirements with respect to their investment in our ordinary shares.
Backup Withholding Tax and Information Reporting Requirements
Under certain circumstances, U.S. backup withholding tax and/or information reporting may apply to U.S. Holders with respect to dividend payments made on or the payment of proceeds from the sale, exchange or other disposition of the ordinary shares, unless an applicable exemption is satisfied. U.S. Holders that are corporations generally are excluded from these information reporting and backup withholding tax rules. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding tax rules will be allowed as a credit against a U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, if any, or will be refunded, if such U.S. Holder timely furnishes required information to the IRS.
THE ABOVE SUMMARY IS NOT INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE A COMPLETE ANALYSIS OF ALL TAX CONSIDERATIONS APPLICABLE TO U.S. HOLDERS WITH RESPECT TO THE ACQUISITION, OWNERSHIP, AND DISPOSITION OF ORDINARY SHARES. U.S. HOLDERS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE TAX CONSIDERATIONS APPLICABLE TO THEM IN THEIR OWN PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES.

Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate fluctuations, primarily due to the uncertain future behavior of markets, may have a material impact on the financial results of the Company. Given the fact that the Company has no outstanding bank borrowings or loans, we believe we have not been exposed to material risks due to changes in market interest rates. However, we cannot provide assurance that we will not be exposed to material risks due to changes in market interest rate in the future.

There have been no modifications to the rights of security holders and there is no other information to disclose in response to this Item.
Item 15. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). As of March 31, 2020, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures.
In designing and evaluating its disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Based upon that evaluation and subsequent evaluations conducted in connection with the audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2020, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and regulations.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. The Exchange Act defines internal control over financial reporting as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the Company’s Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with US GAAP and includes those policies and procedures that:
| ● | Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; |
| | |
| ● | Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with US GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and |
| | |
| ● | Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. |
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. Also, 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 or procedures may deteriorate.
Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2020. In making this assessment, we used the criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organization of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) (2013 framework) (the “COSO criteria”). Based on our evaluation and the COSO criteria, we determined that, as of March 31, 2020, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with US GAAP.
Since the Company is not an accelerated filer, the auditor’s attestation report pursuant to SOX Section 404(b) is not required in this annual report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal year 2018 and that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Audit Fees —This category includes the audit of our annual financial statements and services that are normally provided by the independent auditors in connection with engagements for those fiscal years. In fiscal year 2020, $99,540 in audit fees were paid to CZD and $15,000 were accrued to CZD. On September 25, 2018, we changed our independent registered public accounting firm from MBP to CZD. In fiscal year 2019, $156,904 and $2,817 in audit fees were paid to CZD and MBP, respectively.
Audit-Related Fees — This category consists of assurance and related services by the independent auditors that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our financial statements and are not reported above under “Audit Fees”.

Item 16F. Change in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
On September 25, 2018, we dismissed Marcum Bernstein & Pinchuk LLP (“Marcum”) as our independent registered public accounting firm. The reports of Marcum, on our financial statements for each of the past two fiscal years ended March 31, 2016 and 2017 contained no adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not modified. The decision to change the independent accountant was approved and ratified by our Board of Directors (“Board of Directors”) on September 25, 2018.
During our two most recent fiscal years ended March 31, 2016 and 2017 and through the date of dismissal, we have had no disagreements with Marcum, on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Marcum, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of such disagreements in its report on our financial statements for such periods.
Effective September 18, 2018 we engaged Centurion ZD CPA & Co. (“Centurion”) as our new independent registered public accounting firm. During the two most recent fiscal years and through the date of our engagement, we did not consult with Centurion regarding either (1) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements, or (2) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement or a reportable event (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K). In approving the selection of Centurion as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm, our Board of Directors considered all relevant factors.

JMAX INTERNATIONAL LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES
INDEX TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To: | The Board of Directors and Shareholders of JMax International Limited |
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of JMax International Limited and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended March 31, 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended March 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of JMax International Limited and Grand World. Significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates and judgments are based on historical information that is currently available to the Company and on various other assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The most significant estimates and related assumptions include the assessment of the allowance for doubtful receivables, and the assessment of the recoverability of the carrying amount of inventory. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Foreign currency translation and transactions
The Company uses United States dollars (“$”) as reporting currency. The functional currency of JMax and the subsidiary incorporated in Hong Kong is $. An entity’s functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates, normally that is the currency of the environment in which it primarily generates and expends cash. The Company considered various indicators, such as cash flows, sales price, market expenses, financing and inter-company transactions and arrangements in determining an entity’s functional currency.
Cash
Cash consists of cash on hand, bank deposits, which are unrestricted as to withdrawal and use.
Accounts Receivable
The Company maintains allowance for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to estimate the allowance. For the years ended March 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020, the Company recognized bad debt allowance of nil, nil and $3,785,151, respectively. Past due accounts are generally written off against the allowance for bad debts only after all collection attempts have been exhausted.
Inventory
Inventory primarily consists of finished goods and is valued at the lower of the inventory’s cost (weighted average basis) or net realizable value. Management compares the cost of inventory with its net realizable value and an adjustment is made to write down inventory to net realizable value, if lower.

Lease
On April 1, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02 (FASB ASC Topic 842). The adoption of Topic 842 resulted in the presentation of operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. See Note 8 for additional information.
At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is or contains a lease if it conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange of a consideration. To assess whether a contract is or contains a lease, the Company assess whether the contract involves the use of an identified asset, whether it has the right to obtain substantially all the economic benefits from the use of the asset and whether it has the right to control the use of the asset.
The right-of-use assets and related lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date. The Company recognizes operating lease expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Operating lease right-of-use of assets
The right-of-use of asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and less any lease incentive received.
Operating lease liabilities
Lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the outstanding lease payments at the commencement date, discounted using the Company incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise fixed lease payments, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee and any exercise price under a purchase option that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise.
Lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments, if there is a change in the estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or if there is any change in the Company assessment of option purchases, contract extensions or termination options.
Short-term leases and leases of low value assets
The Company has elected to not recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low value assets. Lease payments associated with these leases are expensed as incurred.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are carried at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is provided principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which is 5 years for equipment.
Maintenance and repair costs are charged to expense as incurred. Significant improvements or betterments are capitalized and depreciated over the rest estimated life of the asset.
Intangible Asset
Intangible asset consists of distribution channel. It comprises the relationship between Grand World and its wholesale customers. The Company conducts its business through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Grand World, a trading and logistics company, which sells to wholesale customers healthcare related consumer products in over 30 different counties. Grand World has strong relationships with its wholesale customers (the “distribution channel”), is one of the Company’s competitive strengths. The Company believes that it is this relationship that will provide a strong platform for its products internationally and that it will benefit from economies of scale. The Company also believes that this platform will facilitate its expansion within a large addressable market and provide a broad set of potential acquisition targets in various healthcare consumer product categories and geographic markets, thus giving rise to the economic value of the “distribution channel”, which is amortized over its estimated useful live - ten years.
Impairment of long-lived assets
The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may no longer be recoverable. When these events occur, the Company measures impairment by comparing the carrying value of the long-lived assets to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected undiscounted cash flow is less than the carrying amount of the assets, the Company would recognize an impairment loss, which is the excess of carrying amount over the fair value of the assets, using the expected future discounted cash flows.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Goodwill
Goodwill is recognized for the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of tangible and identifiable intangible net assets of businesses acquired. Goodwill is not being amortized but is reviewed at least annually for impairment and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the value of the asset may be impaired. In the evaluation of goodwill impairment, the Company performs a qualitative assessment to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If the qualitative assessment is not conclusive, we proceed to a two-step process to test goodwill for impairment including comparing the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value (including attributable goodwill). Fair value for the reporting units is determined using an income or market approach incorporating market participant considerations and management’s assumptions on revenue growth rates, operating margins, discount rates and expected capital expenditures. Fair value determinations may include both internal and third-party valuations. The Company generally performs the annual impairment testing on March 31.
Fair Value Measurement
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable. The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value due to the short-term nature.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The core principle of the new revenue standard is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The following five steps are applied to achieve that core principle:
Step 1: Identify the contract with the customer
Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract
Step 3: Determine the transaction price
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
Step 5: Recognize revenue when the company satisfies a performance obligation
Revenue is recognized when (or as) the Company satisfies performance obligations by transferring a promised goods to a customer. Revenue is measured at the transaction price which is based on the amount of consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring the promised goods to the customer. Given the nature of our business, customer product orders are fulfilled at a point in time and not over a period of time. The Company experienced no material product returns and recorded no reserve for sales returns for each of the periods presented. The Company does not have any future obligations directly or indirectly related to product resale by the customer.
Cost of revenue
Cost of revenue consists of cost of products purchased from manufacturers and distributors. Write-down of inventory to the lower of cost or net realizable value is also recorded in the cost of revenue.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the periods. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period adjusted for the effect of dilutive common share equivalent (computed using the treasury stock or if converted method).
Share-Based Compensation
The Company recognizes compensation expense associated with the issuance of equity instruments to employees for their services. The fair value of the equity instruments is estimated on the date of grant and is expensed in the financial statements over the service period. The input assumptions used in determining fair value are the expected life, expected volatility, risk-free rate and the dividend yield.
Share-based compensation associated with the issuance of equity instruments to non-employees is recorded at the fair value on the measurement date. The measurement of stock-based compensation at fair value is subject to periodic adjustment at each reporting period.
Income taxes
The Company records income taxes under the asset and liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and attributable to operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Accounting standards regarding income taxes requires a reduction of the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance, if based on the available evidence; it is more likely than not that those assets will not be realized. Accordingly, the need to establish valuation allowances for deferred tax assets is assessed at each reporting period based on a more-likely-than-not realization threshold. This assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of current and cumulative losses, forecasts of future profitability, the duration of statutory carry forward periods, the Company’s experience with operating loss and tax credit carry forwards not expiring unused, and tax planning alternatives.
Significant judgment is required in evaluating the Company’s tax positions and determining its provision for income taxes. During the ordinary course of business, there are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. Accounting standards regarding uncertainty in income taxes provide a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount which is more than 50% likely, based solely on the technical merits, of being sustained on examinations. The Company considers many factors when evaluating and estimating its tax positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustment and which may not accurately anticipate actual outcomes. According to Hong Kong Inland Revenue Department, the statute of limitation is six years if any company chargeable with tax has not been assessed or has been assessed at less than the proper amount, the statute of limitation is extended to 10 years if the underpayment of taxes is due to fraud or willful evasion.
The Company did not accrue any liability, interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions in our provision for income taxes line of our consolidated statements of operations for the years ended March 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The Company does not expect that its assessment regarding unrecognized tax positions will materially change over the next 12 months. The Company is not currently under examination by an income tax authority, nor has been notified that an examination is contemplated.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 requires companies to measure credit losses utilizing a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires a consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including those interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting this standard, but based on a preliminary assessment, does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The amendment removes Step 2 of a goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. Goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. The guidance should be adopted on a prospective basis for the annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company has completed the assessment of the adoption of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements, the adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

The FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.
ASU No. 2018-13 modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820 as follows:
Removals
The following disclosure requirements were removed from Topic 820:
● | The amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy; |
| |
● | The policy for timing of transfers between levels; |
| |
● | The valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements; and |
| |
● | For nonpublic entities, the changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in earnings for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period. |
The following disclosure requirements were modified in Topic 820:
● In lieu of a roll forward for Level 3 fair value measurements, a nonpublic entity is required to disclose transfers into and out of Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy and purchases and issues of Level 3 assets and liabilities;
● For investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value, an entity is required to disclose the timing of liquidation of an investee’s assets and the date when restrictions from redemption might lapse only if the investee has communicated the timing to the entity or announced the timing publicly; and
● The amendments clarify that the measurement uncertainty disclosure is to communicate information about the uncertainty in measurement as of the reporting date.

Additions
The following disclosure requirements were added to Topic 820; however, the disclosures are not required for nonpublic entities:
● The changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period; and
● The range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. For certain unobservable inputs, an entity may disclose other quantitative information (such as the median or arithmetic average) in lieu of the weighted average if the entity determines that other quantitative information would be a more reasonable and rational method to reflect the distribution of unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements.
In addition, the amendments eliminate at a minimum from the phrase “an entity shall disclose at a minimum” to promote the appropriate exercise of discretion by entities when considering fair value measurement disclosures and to clarify that materiality is an appropriate consideration of entities and their auditors when evaluating disclosure requirements.
Effective Date
The amendments in ASU No. 2018-13 are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019.
The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date.
Early adoption is permitted. An entity is permitted to early adopt any removed or modified disclosures upon issuance of ASU No. 2018-13 and delay adoption of the additional disclosures until their effective date.
The FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2018-15, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract, which reduces complexity for the accounting for costs of implementing a cloud computing service arrangement. This standard aligns the accounting for implementation costs of hosting arrangements, regardless of whether they convey a license to the hosted software.
The ASU aligns the following requirements for capitalizing implementation costs:
● Those incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract, and
● Those incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license).
For calendar-year public companies, the changes will be effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, in 2020. For all other calendar-year companies and organizations, the changes will be effective for annual periods in 2021, and interim periods in 2022.
Recently issued ASUs by the FASB, except for the ones mentioned above, and are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position.

Note 16 - Financial instruments
The Company financial instruments primarily comprise of cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable, which were carried at cost as of March 31, 2020 and 2019. The carrying value approximated fair value due to their short-term nature.
Note 17 - Contingencies

The Company records contingent liabilities resulting from such claims, when a loss is assessed to be probable and the amount of the loss is reasonably estimable. In the opinion of management, there were no pending or threatened claims and litigation as of March 31, 2020 and through the issuance date of these consolidated financial statements.
Note 18 - Subsequent Events
In early January of 2020, a novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) outbreak took place in China. Subsequently, it has spread rapidly to Asia and other parts of the world and resulted in worldwide economic disruptions. COVID-19 has become a pandemic and has had a negative impact on the Company’s operation since February 2020, resulting in delayed logistics, increased purchase price of products and decreased order volume. To mitigate the impact of COVID-19, the Company has increased the unit selling price correspondingly and launched new product to attract more clients.
As of the report day, COVID-19 is continuously transmitting around the world. Since we are relying on revenue generated from outside Mainland China and we expect our business and financial performance for the year ended March 31, 2021 will be adversely affected from COVID-19. We anticipate the aforementioned negative impact to gradually mitigate in the coming seasons when the outbreak becomes more controllable in the world. Nevertheless, due to the uncertainty on future developments, we are not able to assess the overall or long term effect the outbreak may have on our financial results and business operations.
The Company has not identified any other material reportable subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements except for the above mentioned matter.
