Business
Overview
We
currently operate and provide a wide range of business solution services to small and medium-size businesses located in South-East
Asia and East Asia, with an initial focus on Hong Kong, China and Malaysia, and subsequently in Thailand and Taiwan. Our comprehensive
range of services includes cross-border business solutions, record management services, and accounting outsourcing services. Our

business is focused on (1) establishing a business incubator for start-up and high growth companies to support such companies

in selected start-up and high growth companies, which we expect can generate significant returns to the Company. We expect to
target companies located in Asia including Hong Kong, Malaysia, China, Thailand and Singapore. We anticipate our venture capital
business will also engage in the purchase or lease of commercial properties in the same Asian region.

|
There
is a growing market in Asia of companies who are seeking to go public and become listed on a recognized exchange in a foreign
jurisdiction. We see tremendous opportunity to the extent that this trend continues worldwide. With respect to cross border listing
advisory services, we are assisting private companies in their desire to list and trade on public exchanges, including the U.S.
NASDAQ and OTC Markets. The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, or JOBS Act, signed in 2012, eases the initial public offering
(“IPO”) process for “emerging growth companies” and reduces their regulatory burden, (2) improves the
ability of these companies to access capital through private offerings and small public offerings without SEC registration, and
(3) allows private companies with a substantial shareholder base to delay becoming a public reporting company.
Through
our cross-border listing advisory services, we seek to form the bridge between these companies seeking to conduct their IPO (or
in some cases, self-directed public offerings), and their goal of becoming a listed company on a recognized U.S. national
exchange, such as NASDAQ and the NYSE.
While
there are several alternatives for companies seeking to go public and trade on the U.S. OTC markets, we primarily focus on three
methods:
|
●
|
Registration
Statement on Form S-1
|
|
●
|
Regulation
A+ offering
|
|
●
|
The
Form 10 shell company
|
The
manner in which the OTC markets are structured provides companies the ability to “uplist” in the marketplace as they
provide better transparency. These OTC markets include:
|
●
|
OTCQX
Best Marketplace: offers transparent and efficient trading of established, investor-focused U.S. and global companies.
|
|
●
|
OTCQB
Venture Marketplace: for early-stage and developing U.S. and international companies that are not yet able to qualify for
OTCQX.
|
|
●
|
OTC
Pink Open Marketplace: offers trading in a wide spectrum of securities through any broker. With no minimum financial standards,
this market includes foreign companies that limit their disclosure, penny stocks and shells, as well as distressed, delinquent,
and dark companies not willing or able to provide adequate information to investors.
|
We
act as a case reference for our clients, as we originally had our shares quoted in the OTC markets and subsequently “uplisted”
to The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC., a U.S. national securities exchange.
With
growing competition and increasing economic sophistication, we believe more companies need strategies for cross-border restructuring
and other corporate matters. Our plan is to bundle our Cross-Border Business Solution services with our cloud accounting solutions
and Accounting Outsourcing Services described below.
Accounting
Outsourcing Services
We
intend to develop relationships with professional firms from Hong Kong, Malaysia, China and Thailand that can provide company
secretarial, business centers and virtual offices, book-keeping, tax compliance and planning, payroll management, business valuation,
and wealth management services to our clients. We intend to include local accounting firms within this network to provide general
accounting, financial evaluation and advisory services to our clients. Our expectation is that firms within our professional network
will refer their international clients to us that may need our book-keeping, payroll, company secretarial and tax compliance services.
We believe that this accounting outsourcing service arrangement will be beneficial to our clients by providing a convenient, one-stop
firm for their local and international business and financial compliance and governance needs.
Our
Service Rates
We
intend to have a two-tiered rate system based upon the type of services being offered. We may impose project-based fees, where
we charge 10% -25% of the revenues generated by the client on projects that are completed using our services, such as transaction
projects, contract compliance projects, and business planning projects. We may also charge a flat rate fee or fixed fee based
on the estimated complexity and timing of a project when our professionals provide specified expertise to our clients on a project.
For example, for our Cross-Border Business Solutions services, we plan to charge our client a monthly fixed fee.
Our
Venture Capital Business Segment
Venture
Capital Investment
As
a result of our acquisition of Greenpro Venture Capital Limited (“GVCL”) in 2015, we entered the venture capital business
in Hong Kong with a focus on companies located in South-East Asia and East Asia, including Hong Kong, Malaysia, China, Thailand
and Singapore. Our venture capital business is focused on (1) establishing a business incubator for start-up and high growth companies
to support such companies during critical growth periods and (2) investment opportunities in select start-up and high growth companies.
We
believe that a company’s life cycle can be divided into five stages, including the seed stage, start-up stage, expansion
stage, mature stage and decline stage. We anticipate that most of a company’s funding needs will occur during these first
three stages.
|
●
|
Seed
stage: Financing is needed for assets, and research and development of an initial business concept. The company usually has
relatively low costs in developing the business idea. The ownership model is considered and implemented.
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
Start-up
stage: Financing is needed for product development and initial marketing. Firms in this phase may be in the process of setting
up a business or they might have been in operating the business for a short period of time but may not have sold their products
commercially. In this phase, costs are increasing due to product development, market research and the need to recruit personnel.
Low levels of revenues are starting to generate.
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
Expansion
stage: Financing is needed for growth and expansion. Capital may be used to finance increased production capacity, product
or marketing development or to hire additional personnel. In the early expansion phase, sales and production increases but
there is not yet any profit. In the later expansion stage, the business typically needs extra capital in addition to organically
generated profit, for further development, marketing or product development.
|
We
intend for our business incubators to provide valuable support to young, emerging growth and potential high growth companies at
critical junctures of their development. For example, our incubators will offer office space at a below market rental rate. We
will also provide our expertise, business contacts, introductions and other resources to assist their development and growth.
Depending on each individual circumstance, we may also take an active advisory role in our venture capital companies including
board representation, strategic marketing, corporate governance, and capital structuring. We believe that there will be potential
investment opportunities for us in these start-up companies.
Our
business processes for our investment strategy in select start-up and high growth companies are as follows:
|
●
|
Step
1. Generating Deal Flow: We expect to actively search for entrepreneurial firms and to generate deal flow through our business
incubator and the personal contacts of our executive team. We also anticipate that entrepreneurs will approach us for financing.
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
Step
2. Investment Decision: We will evaluate, examine and engage in due diligence of a prospective portfolio company, including
but not limited to product/services viability, market potential and integrity as well as capability of the management. After
that, both parties arrive at an agreed value for the deal. Following that is a process of negotiation, which if successful,
ends with capital transformation and restructuring.
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
Step
3. Business Development and Value Adding: In addition to capital contribution, we expect to provide expertise, knowledge and
relevant business contacts to the company.
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
Step
4. Exit: There are several ways to exit an investment in a company. Common exits are:
|
|
○
|
IPO
(Initial Public Offering): The company’s shares are offered in a public sale on an established securities market.
|
|
|
|
|
○
|
Trade
sale (Acquisition): The entire company is sold to another company.
|
|
|
|
|
○
|
Secondary
sale: The company’s firm sells only part of its shares.
|
|
|
|
|
○
|
Buyback
or MBO: Either the entrepreneur or the management of the company buys back the company’s shares of the firm.
|
|
|
|
|
○
|
Reconstruction,
liquidation or bankruptcy: If the project fails, the company will restructure or close down the operations.
|
Our
objective is to achieve a superior rate of return through the eventual and timely disposal of investments. We expect to look for
businesses that meet the following criteria:
|
●
|
high
growth prospects
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
ambitious
teams
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
viability
of product or service
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
experienced
management
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
ability
to convert plans into reality
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
justification
of venture capital investment and investment criteria
|
Our
Venture Capital Related Education and Support Services.
In
addition to providing venture capital services through GVCL, we also provide educational and support services that we believe
will be synergistic with our venture capital business. We have arranged seminars called the CEO & Business Owners Strategic
Session (“CBOSS”) in Malaysia and Singapore for business owners who are interested in the following:
|
●
|
Developing
their business globally;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
Expanding
business with increased capital funding;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
Creating
a sustainable SME business model;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
Accelerating
the growth of the business; or
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
Significantly
increasing company cash flows.
|
The
objective of the CBOSS seminar is to educate the chief executive officers or business owners on how to acquire “smart capital”
and the considerations involved. The seminar includes an introduction to the basic concepts of “smart capital,” “wealth
and value creation,” recommendation and planning and similar topics. We believe that this seminar will synergistically support
our venture capital business segment.
China
Service Centers Expansion
Our
expansion strategy is to establish service centers in Northern and Southwest China, as well as the Greater Bay Area in Guangdong
Province (the Chinese government’s plan to link the cities of Hong Kong, Macau, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Dongguan, Foshan,
Zhongshan, Jiangmen, Zhaoqing and Huizhou (i.e. “2+9”) into an integrated economic and business hub). The centers
will cater to customers’ needs by providing and delivering professional, high quality service and assistance before, during,
and after the customer’s requirements are met. The expansion plan in each city would be based on various factors, such as
business opportunities, office property availability and job market conditions. We also intend to cooperate with different business
partners, utilizing their networks and resources in the target markets, to establish additional business opportunities.
Sales
and Marketing
We
plan to deploy three strategies to market the Greenpro brand: leadership, market segmentation and sales management process development.
|
●
|
Building
Brand Image: Greenpro’s marketing efforts will focus on building the image of our extensive expertise and knowledge
of our professionals. We intend to conduct a marketing campaign through media visibility, seminars, webinars, and the creation
of a wide variety of white papers, newsletters, books, and other information.
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
Market
segmentation: We plan to devote marketing resources to highly measurable and high return on investment tactics that specifically
target those industries and areas where Greenpro has particularly deep experience and capabilities. These efforts typically
involve local, regional or national trade show and event sponsorships, targeted direct mail, email, and telemarketing campaigns,
and practice and industry specific micro-sites and newsletters in the Asian region.
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
Social
Media: We plan to begin a social media campaign utilizing blogs, Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn after we secure sufficient
financing. A targeted campaign will be made to the following groups of clients: law firms, auditing firms, consulting firms
and small to medium-size enterprises in different industries, including biotechnology, intellectual property, information
technologies and real estate.
|
Worldwide
Wealth Wisdom Development
Worldwide
Wealth Wisdom Development (“WWW”) is our marketing and promotional campaign, which is focused on building long-term
awareness of our brand. WWW targets the following markets (i) business owners and senior management; (ii) high and medium net
worth individuals in China and (iii) financial services providers, such as Certified Financial Planners in China. The campaign
involves sharing content, knowledge and information about wealth management, including wealth creation, wealth protection and
wealth succession.
The
objectives of WWW are:
1.
|
To
increase public awareness and recognition of Greenpro as a well-known advocate
of the wealth principles described above;
|
|
|
2.
|
For
our philosophy to gain recognition so that our clients are confident and comfortable with our services and trust us;
|
|
|
3.
|
To
educate existing clients and potential prospects; and
|
|
|
4.
|
To
act as a channel of communication to gather market data and feedback.
|
Set
forth below are the marketing strategies we expect to develop.
Awareness
and Optimization
1.
|
Email
Blasts and E-Newsletter
|
Email
blasts are one of the commonly used tactics to disseminate information. Our email database will be collected through leads generated
by online marketing (social media) and promotional events. Future event invitations and monthly/quarterly newsletters will be
sent to the email database in order to boost event participation and provide updates on Company development.
2.
|
Media
PR and News Releases
|
Our
post event information will be sent to news and media platforms as part of our publicity effort to increase public awareness about
our events and developments, and to encourage more participants to join our upcoming events. We will also share our analysis on
various industries and industry trends to the media network providers for free. We believe that this strategy will strengthen
the relationship between Greenpro and the media network providers.
To
generate more leads and subscribers, two to four articles related to wealth management will be shared in our official WeChat account.
These articles are tools we use to share content online, through social media platforms such as WeChat, Jinri Toutiao and Facebook,
which increases our online presence.
4.
|
Online
Search Engine Optimization
|
Online
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) will be used as a supporting strategy to enhance our online presence campaign. We will seek a
SEO expert team in China and Malaysia to assist in the promotion of the campaign by using an advertising and keyword tagging strategy
to drive traffic to our social media accounts and our company website. The major search engines are Baidu and Google as these
are the common search engine worldwide.
Interaction
and Conversion
1.
|
Seminars
and Conferences
|
Seminars
and conferences will be held once a month to deliver and educate the attendees on wealth management. We target between 80 and
100 attendees each time. We intend to invite professionals and strategic partners to share their ideas, resources and knowhow
in the seminars and conferences. The seminars and conferences will focus on our three core wealth management principles, namely
“Wealth Creation, Wealth Protection and Wealth Succession”.
2.
|
Private
Events by Invitation
|
Private
and exclusive events are planned to be held quarterly with a target between 30 and 40 attendees. These events are exclusive and
by-invitation only, at which we will share insights into our services and explain to attendees how they can proceed with wealth
management planning.
3.
|
Small
Group Meet Ups and Networking
|
Small
Group Meet Ups will be held twice a month targeting the public with an estimated five to ten attendees per session. The objective
of these sessions is to encourage idea exchanges, to provide a platform for networking and potentially future collaboration opportunities,
and foster better understanding between the participants and us, as well as among themselves.
Market
Opportunities
We
believe the main drivers for the growth of our business are the products and services together with the resources such as an office
network, professional staff members and operational tools to make the advisory and consulting business more competitive.
We
intend to assist our clients in the preparation of their financial statements cost-effectively and provide security to
such financial information since the data will be stored in a cloud system. We anticipate a market with growing needs
in Asia. We believe that there is currently an increasing need for enterprises in different industries to maximize their performance
with cost-effective methods. We believe our services will create numerous competitive advantages for our clients. We believe that
with us handling the administrative and logistic support, our clients can focus on developing their businesses and expanding their
own client portfolio.
Customers
Our
revenues are generated from clients located globally, including those from Hong Kong, China, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand,
Australia, Japan, Taiwan, Russia and the United States. Our venture capital business will initially focus on Hong Kong and other
Asian start-ups and high growth companies. We hope to generate deal flow through personal contacts of our management team as well
as through our business incubator.
We
generated revenues of $2,254,811 during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 and $4,484,822 during the fiscal year ended December
31, 2019. We are not a party to any long-term agreements with our customers.
Competition
We
operate in a mature, competitive industry. We consider our focus to be on a niche market of small and medium-sized businesses.
Competition in the general field of business advisory services is quite intense, particularly in Hong Kong. We face competition
principally from established law firms and consulting service providers in the corporate finance industry, such as Marbury, King
& Wood Mallesons, QMIS Financial Group, First Asia Finance Group Limited and their respective affiliates, as well as from
certain accounting firms, including those that specialize in a tax planning and corporate restructuring. The competition in China
and Malaysia is not as fierce as in Hong Kong. Our major competitors in China are JP Investment Group and QMIS Financial Group
while our major competitors in Malaysia are Global Bridge Management Sdn. Bhd. and QMIS Financial Group. These competitors generate
significant traffic and have established brand recognition and financial resources. New or existing competition that uses a business
model that is different from our business model may pressure us to change so that we can remain competitive.
We
believe that the principal competitive factors in our market include quality of analysis; applicability and efficacy of recommendations;
strength and depth of relationships with clients; ability to meet the changing needs of current and prospective clients; and service
scope. By utilizing our competitive strengths, we believe that we have a competitive edge over other competitors due to the breadth
of our service offerings, one stop convenience, pricing, marketing expertise, coverage network, service levels, track record,
brand and reputation. We are confident we can retain and enlarge our market share.
Intellectual
Property
We
intend to protect our investment in the research and development of our products and technologies. We intend to seek the widest
possible protection for significant product and process developments in our major markets through a combination of trade secrets,
trademarks, copyrights and patents, if applicable. We anticipate that the form of protection will vary depending upon the level
of protection afforded by a particular jurisdiction. Currently, our revenue is derived principally from our operations in Hong
Kong, China and Malaysia, where intellectual property protection may be limited and difficult to enforce. In such instances, we
may seek protection of our intellectual property through measures taken to increase the confidentiality of intellectual property.
We
have registered trademarks as a means of protecting the brand names of our companies and products. We intend to protect our trademarks
against infringement, and also seek to register design protection where appropriate. Currently, there are six trademarks registered
under the name of Greenpro Resources (HK) Limited.

We
rely on trade secrets and un-patentable know-how that we seek to protect, in part, by confidentiality agreements. Our policy is
to require all employees to execute confidentiality agreements upon the commencement of employment with us. These agreements provide
that all confidential information developed or made known to the individual through individual’s relationship with us, to
be kept confidential and do not disclose to third parties except in specific circumstances. The agreements also provide that all
inventions conceived by the individual while rendering services to us shall be assigned to us as the exclusive property of our
company. There can be no assurance, however, that all persons who we desire to sign such agreements will sign, or if they do,
that these agreements will not be breached, that we would have adequate remedies for any breach, or that our trade secrets or
unpatentable know-how will not otherwise become known or be independently developed by competitors.
Government
Regulation
We
provide our Package Solution initially in Hong Kong, China and Malaysia, which we believe are locations that would need outsourcing
support services. Further, we believe these markets are the central and regional markets for many customers doing cross border
business in Asia. We target those customers from Asia doing international business and plan to provide our Package Solution to
meet their needs. Our planned Package Solution will be structured in Hong Kong, but services may be outsourced to lower cost jurisdictions
such as Malaysia and China, which encourage and welcome outsourcing services.
The
following regulations are the laws and regulations that may be applicable to us:
Hong
Kong
Our
businesses located in Hong Kong are subject to the general laws in Hong Kong governing businesses, including labor, occupational
safety and health, general corporations, intellectual property and other similar laws. Because our website is maintained through
the server in Hong Kong, we expect that we will be required to comply with the rules and regulations and Hong Kong governing the
data usage and regular terms of service applicable to our potential customers. As the information of our potential customers is
preserved in Hong Kong, we will need to comply with the Hong Kong Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (Cap 486).
The
Employment Ordinance is the main piece of legislation governing conditions of employment in Hong Kong. It covers a comprehensive
range of employment protection and benefits for employees, including Wage Protection, Rest Days, Holidays with Pay, Paid Annual
Leave, Sickness Allowance, Maternity Protection, Statutory Paternity Leave, Severance Payment, Long Service Payment, Employment
Protection, Termination of Employment Contract, Protection against Anti-Union Discrimination.
An
employer must also comply with all legal obligations under the Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Ordinance, (Cap 485). These include
enrolling all qualifying employees in Mandatory Provident Fund (“MPF”) schemes and making MPF contributions for them.
Except for exempt persons, employers should enroll both full-time and part-time employees who are at least 18 but under 65 years
of age in an MPF scheme within the first 60 days of employment. The 60-day employment rule does not apply to casual employees
in the construction and catering industries.
We
are required to make MPF contributions for our Hong Kong employees once every contribution period (generally the wage period).
Employers and employees are each required to make regular mandatory contributions of 5% of the employee’s relevant income
to an MPF scheme, subject to the minimum and maximum relevant income levels. For a monthly-paid employee, the minimum and maximum
relevant income levels are $7,100 and $30,000 respectively.
We
comply with the above applicable ordinances and regulations in Hong Kong and have not been involved any lawsuit or prosecuted
by the local authority resulting from any breach of the ordinances and regulations.
Malaysia
Our
businesses located in Malaysia are subject to the general laws in Malaysia governing businesses including labor, occupational
safety and health, general corporations, intellectual property and other similar laws including the Computer Crime Act 1997 and
The Copyright (Amendment) Act 1997. We believe that the focus of these laws is censorship in Malaysia, however we believe this
does not impact our businesses because the censorship focus is on media controls and does not relate to cloud base technology
which we plan to use.
Our
real estate investments are subject to extensive local, city, county and state rules and regulations regarding permitting, zoning,
subdivision, utilities and water quality as well as federal rules and regulations regarding air and water quality and protection
of endangered species and their habitats. Such regulation may result in higher than anticipated administrative and operational
costs.
We
comply with the above applicable ordinances and regulations in Malaysia and have not involved any lawsuit or prosecuted by the
local authority resulting from any breach of the ordinances and regulations.
China
A
portion of our acquired businesses located in China and subject to the general laws in China governing businesses including labor,
occupational safety and health, general corporations, intellectual property and other similar laws.
Employment
Contracts
The
Employment Contract Law was promulgated by the National People’s Congress’ Standing Committee on June 29, 2007 and
took effect on January 1, 2008. The Employment Contract Law governs labor relations and employment contracts (including the entry
into, performance, amendment, termination and determination of employment contracts) between domestic enterprises (including foreign-invested
companies), individual economic organizations and private non-enterprise units (collectively referred to as the “employers”)
and their employees.
a.
Execution of employment contracts
Under
the Employment Contract Law, an employer is required to execute written employment contracts with its employees within one month
from the commencement of employment. In the event of contravention, an employee is entitled to receive double salary for the period
during which the employer fails to execute an employment contract. If an employer fails to execute an employment contract for
more than 12 months from the commencement of the employee’s employment, an employment contract would be deemed to have been
entered into between the employer and employee for a non-fixed term.
b.
Right to non-fixed term contracts
Under
the Employment Contract Law, an employee may request a non-fixed term contract without an employer’s consent to renew. In
addition, an employee is also entitled to a non-fixed term contract with an employer if he has completed two fixed term employment
contracts with such employer; however, such employee must not have committed any breach or have been subject to any disciplinary
actions during his employment. Unless the employee requests to enter into a fixed term contract, an employer who fails to enter
into a non-fixed term contract pursuant to the Employment Contract Law is liable to pay the employee double salary from the date
the employment contract is renewed.
c.
Compensation for termination or expiry of employment contracts
Under
the Employment Contract Law, employees are entitled to compensation upon the termination or expiry of an employment contract.
Employees are entitled to compensation even in the event the employer (i) has been declared bankrupt; (ii) has its business license
revoked; (iii) has been ordered to cease or withdraw its business; or (iv) has been voluntarily liquidated. Where an employee
has been employed for more than one year, the employee will be entitled to such compensation equivalent to one month’s salary
for every completed year of service. Where an employee has been employed for less than one year, such employee will be deemed
to have completed one full year of service.
d.
Trade union and collective employment contracts
Under
the Employment Contract Law, a trade union may seek arbitration and litigation to resolve any dispute arising from a collective
employment contract provided that such dispute failed to be settled through negotiations. The Employment Contract Law also permits
a trade union to enter into a collective employee contract with an employer on behalf of all the employees.
Where
a trade union has not been formed, a representative appointed under the recommendation of a high-level trade union may execute
the collective employment contract. Within districts below county level, collective employment contracts for industries such as
those engaged in construction, mining, food and beverage and those from the service sector, etc., may be executed on behalf of
employees by the representatives from the trade union of each respective industry. Alternatively, a district-based collective
employment contract may be made.
As
a result of the Employment Contract Law, all our employees have executed standard written employment agreements with us. We have
not experienced any significant labor disputes or any difficulties in recruiting staff for our operations.
On
October 28, 2010, the National People’s Congress of China promulgated the PRC Social Insurance Law, which became effective
on July 1, 2011. In accordance with the PRC Social Insurance Law, the Interim Regulations on the Collection and Payment of Social
Security Fund and other relevant laws and regulations, China establishes a social insurance system including basic pension insurance,
basic medical insurance, work-related injury insurance, unemployment insurance and maternity insurance. An employer shall pay
the social insurance for its employees in accordance with the rates provided under relevant regulations and shall withhold the
social insurance that should be assumed by the employees. The authorities in charge of social insurance may request an employer’s
compliance and impose sanctions if such employer fails to pay and withhold social insurance in a timely manner. Under the Regulations
on the Administration of Housing Fund effective in 1999, as amended in 2002, PRC companies must register with applicable housing
fund management centers and establish a special housing fund account in an entrusted bank. Both PRC companies and their employees
are required to contribute to the housing funds.
The
Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security promulgated the Interim Provisions on Labor Dispatch on January 24, 2014. The
Interim Provisions on Labor Dispatch, which became effective on March 1, 2014, sets forth that labor dispatch should only be applicable
to temporary, auxiliary or substitute positions. Temporary positions shall mean positions subsisting for no more than six months,
auxiliary positions shall mean positions of non-major business that serve positions of major businesses, and substitute positions
shall mean positions that can be held by substitute employees for a certain period of time during which the employees who originally
hold such positions are unable to work as a result of full-time study, being on leave or other reasons. The Interim Provisions
further provides that, the number of the dispatched workers of an employer shall not exceed 10% of its total workforce, and the
total workforce of an employer shall refer to the sum of the number of the workers who have executed labor contracts with the
employer and the number of workers who are dispatched to the employer.
Foreign
Exchange Control and Administration
Foreign
exchange in China is primarily regulated by:
|
●
|
The
Foreign Currency Administration Rules (1996), as amended; and
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
The
Administration Rules of the Settlement, Sale and Payment of Foreign Exchange (1996), or the Administration Rules.
|
Under
the Foreign Currency Administration Rules, if documents certifying the purposes of the conversion of RMB into foreign currency
are submitted to the relevant foreign exchange conversion bank, the RMB will be convertible for current account items, including
the distribution of dividends, interest and royalty payments, and trade and service-related foreign exchange transactions. Conversion
of RMB for capital account items, such as direct investment, loans, securities investment and repatriation of investment, however,
is subject to the approval of SAFE or its local counterpart.
Under
the Administration Rules for the Settlement, Sale and Payment of Foreign Exchange, foreign-invested enterprises may only buy,
sell and/or remit foreign currencies at banks authorized to conduct foreign exchange business after providing valid commercial
documents and, in the case of capital account item transactions, obtaining approval from SAFE or its local counterpart.
As
an offshore holding company with a PRC subsidiary, we may (i) make additional capital contributions to our PRC subsidiaries, (ii)
establish new PRC subsidiaries and make capital contributions to these new PRC subsidiaries, (iii) make loans to our PRC subsidiaries
or consolidated affiliated entities, or (iv) acquire offshore entities with business operations in China in offshore transactions.
However, most of these uses are subject to PRC regulations and approvals. For example:
|
●
|
Capital
contributions to our PRC subsidiaries, whether existing or newly established ones, must be approved by the Ministry of Commerce
or its local counterparts;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
Loans
by us to our PRC subsidiaries, each of which is a foreign-invested enterprise, to finance their activities cannot exceed statutory
limits and must be registered with SAFE or its local branches; and
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
Loans
by us to our consolidated affiliated entities, which are domestic PRC entities, must be approved by the National Development
and Reform Commission and must also be registered with SAFE or its local branches.
|
On
August 29, 2008, SAFE promulgated the Circular on the Relevant Operating Issues concerning the Improvement of the Administration
of Payment and Settlement of Foreign Currency Capital of Foreign-invested Enterprises, or “Circular 142”. On March
30, 2015, SAFE issued the Circular of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange Concerning Reform of the Administrative Approaches
to Settlement of Foreign Exchange Capital of Foreign-invested Enterprises, or “Circular 19”, which became effective
on June 1, 2015, to regulate the conversion by foreign invested enterprises, or FIEs, of foreign currency into RMB by restricting
how the converted RMB may be used. Circular 19 requires that RMB converted from the foreign currency-dominated capital of a FIE
shall be managed under the Accounts for FX settlement and pending payment. The expenditure scope of such Accounts includes expenditure
within the business scope, payment of funds for domestic equity investment and RMB deposits, repayment of the RMB loans after
completed utilization and so forth. A FIE shall truthfully use its capital by itself within the business scope and shall not,
directly or indirectly, use its capital or RMB converted from the foreign currency-dominated capital for (i) expenditure beyond
its business scope or expenditure prohibited by laws or regulations, (ii) disbursing RMB entrusted loans (unless permitted under
its business scope), repaying inter-corporate borrowings (including third-party advance) and repaying RMB bank loans already refinanced
to any third party. Where a FIE, other than a foreign-invested investment company, foreign-invested venture capital enterprise
or foreign-invested equity investment enterprise, makes domestic equity investment by transferring its capital in the original
currency, it shall obey the current provisions on domestic re-investment. Where such a FIE makes domestic equity investment by
its RMB conversion, the invested enterprise shall first go through domestic re-investment registration and open a corresponding
Accounts for FX settlement and pending payment, and the FIE shall thereafter transfer the conversion to the aforesaid Account
according to the actual amount of investment. In addition, according to the Regulations of the People’s Republic of China
on Foreign Exchange Administration, which became effective on August 5, 2008, the use of foreign exchange or RMB conversion may
not be changed without authorization.
Violations
of the applicable circulars and rules may result in severe penalties, including substantial fines as set forth in the Foreign
Exchange Administration Regulations.
In
light of the various requirements imposed by PRC regulations on loans to and direct investment in PRC entities by offshore holding
companies, we cannot assure you that we will always be able to complete the necessary government registrations or obtain the necessary
government approvals on a timely basis, if at all, with respect to future loans to our PRC subsidiaries or future capital
contributions by us to our PRC subsidiaries. If we fail to complete such registrations or obtain such approvals, our ability
to capitalize or otherwise fund our PRC operations may be negatively affected, which could materially and adversely affect our
liquidity and our ability to fund and expand our business.
Currently,
we are in compliance with the above applicable ordinances and regulations in China and have not involved any lawsuit or prosecuted
by the local authority resulting from any breach of the ordinances and regulations.
Insurance
We
do not current maintain property, business interruption and casualty insurance. As our business matures, we expect to obtain such
insurance in accordance with customary industry practices in Malaysia, Hong Kong and China, as applicable.
Seasonality
Our
businesses are not subject to seasonality.
Employees
As of March 29,
2021, we have 60 employees, located in the following territories:

income based on their ages and wage level. The participants are entitled to all of our contributions together with accrued returns
regardless of their length of service with the Company. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the contributions
are $60,536 and $48,216, respectively.
We
are required to contribute to the MPF for all eligible employees in Hong Kong between the ages of eighteen and sixty-five. We
are required to contribute a specified percentage of the participant’s income based on their ages and wage level. For the
years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the MPF contributions by the Company were $33,455 and $54,638, respectively. We have not
experienced any significant labor disputes or any difficulties in recruiting staff for our operations.

Future
Development Plan
We
are in the process of carrying out the following development
plans.
1.
|
Expansion
of Corporate Finance Services:
|
We
plan to further expand our corporate finance services business. Our corporate finance services include financial advisory services
relating to listings in the US capital markets (e.g., NASDAQ and OTC Markets) and listings in Hong Kong, mergers and acquisitions,
investment valuation, project management and other financial advisory services. We intend to enhance our corporate finance business
in China, Hong Kong, Malaysia and Thailand, by engaging in more marketing activities and expanding our business network to these
regions.
ADAQ
is a next generation online financial information platform which facilitates connecting private high growth emerging companies
with access to potential investors and synergetic companies. ADAQ is dedicated to equip emerging growth companies in the Asia
Pacific region with the guidance and information to identify, build and stream their sustainable core values. In addition, it
offers an acceleration program to incubate and assist companies to accelerate the process by which they seek to list on international
exchanges such as New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), NASDAQ and Hong Kong Stock Exchange (“HKEX”).
|
●
|
ADAQ
has three major functions:
|
1.
Corporate Value Building Program
2.
Online platform and acceleration process to International Capital Market Listing
3.
Online Financial Information Market
We
intend to strengthen the development of ADAQ as an acceleration platform to assist high growth emerging companies in the ASEAN
regions covering Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia, Myanmar, Laos and Vietnam, and China to obtain funding and prepare
for an IPO. An increasing number of companies across South-East Asia and the Greater Bay Area are interested in listing on the
ADAQ market platform. We believe the successful development of the platform will heighten the prospects of Greenpro’s venture
capital projects, aiming to achieve success and to widen market coverage to source for new potential projects.
|
●
|
Wealth
Management Portfolio Development. The increase in the number of high-net-worth individuals in the Asia Pacific Region has
created opportunities and needs for cross-border wealth management services. Leveraging our competitive advantages with integrated
financial services and strategic offices, we look forward to enhancing our strategic development in wealth management, fund
management and asset management businesses. We continue to look for partnerships to explore the potential of wealth management,
fund management and asset management services, and provide with the assistance from our affiliates customized wealth creation,
wealth protection and wealth succession solutions for medium, high and ultra-high net worth individuals/families in the Asian
region. We also expect to place more efforts into the development of our Wealth Network Database focusing on wealth related
information sharing.
|
For
our long-term plan and development, we look forward to initiating the “Greenpro Capital Tower” plan in ASEAN
as an effort to further develop our brand, strengthen our operational and client base with stronger customers and market confidence.
We are currently in the planning stage to build a 20-storey building located in the Commercial Business District of Malaysia as
our ASEAN headquarters, enabling the market in the region to have better access to our services while also strengthening our market
visibility. In addition, we plan to continue to grow through mergers and acquisitions of related services to enhance our services
horizontally and vertically. We are continuously sourcing synergetic and licensed financial institutions to strengthen our capabilities
and scope of our services with the aim to widen our market coverage.
ITEM
1A. RISK FACTORS
You
should carefully consider the risks described below and elsewhere in this Annual Report, which could materially and adversely
affect our business, results of operations or financial condition. Our business faces significant risks and the risks described
below may not be the only risks we face. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial
may materially affect our business, results of operations, or financial condition. If any of these risks occur, the trading price
of our Common Stock could be decline and you may lose all or part of your investment.
COVID-19
Pandemic
COVID-19
pandemic might have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and liquidity.
In
December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus was reported to have surfaced, which has and is continuing to spread throughout the
world, including the United States. On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the COVID-19 disease
a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern.” On January 31, 2020, U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary
Alex M. Azar II declared a public health emergency for the United States to aid the U.S. healthcare community in responding to
COVID-19, and on March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized the outbreak as a “pandemic.” The COVID-19
outbreak has resulted in, and a significant outbreak of other infectious diseases could result in, a widespread health crisis
that could materially and adversely affect the economies and financial markets worldwide, and the operations and financial position
of any potential target business with which we consummate a business combination could be materially and adversely affected. Furthermore,
we may be unable to complete a business combination if continued concerns relating to COVID-19 restrict travel, limit the ability
to have meetings with potential investors, if the target company’s personnel, vendors and service providers are unavailable
to negotiate and consummate a transaction in a timely manner, or if COVID-19 causes a prolonged economic downturn. The extent
to which COVID-19 impacts our search for a business combination will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain
and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the actions to contain
COVID-19 or treat its impact, among others. If the disruptions posed by COVID-19 or other matters of global concern continue for
an extensive period of time, our ability to consummate a business combination, or the operations of a target business with which
we ultimately consummate a business combination, may be materially adversely affected.
In
addition, our ability to consummate a business combination may be dependent on the ability to raise equity and debt financing
which may be impacted by COVID-19 and other events, including as a result of increased market volatility, decreased market liquidity
and third-party financing being unavailable on terms acceptable to us or at all.
COVID-19
could negatively affect our internal controls over financial reporting as a portion of our workforce is required to work from
home and therefore new processes, procedures, and controls could be required to respond to changes in our business environment.
Further, should any key employees become ill from COVID-19 and unable to work, the attention of the management team and resources
could be diverted.
The
potential effects of COVID-19 could also heighten the risks we face related to each of the risk factors disclosed below. As COVID-19
and its impacts are unprecedented and continuously evolving, the potential impacts to these risk factors remain uncertain. As
a result, COVID-19 may also materially adversely affect our operating and financial results in a manner that is not currently
known to us or that we do not currently consider may present significant risks to our operations.
Risks
Related to our Business
We
have a limited operating history that you can use to evaluate us, and the likelihood of our success must be considered in light
of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays frequently encountered by a small developing company.
We
were incorporated in Nevada in July 2013. For the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, we have generated $2,254,811 and $4,484,822,
respectively, in revenues and incurred net losses of $3,752,953 and $1,349,478, respectively. The likelihood of our success
must be considered in the light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays frequently encountered by a
small company starting a new business enterprise and the highly competitive environment in which we are operating. We have a limited
operating history upon which an evaluation of our future success or failure can be made. Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability
and positive cash flow is dependent upon:
|
●
|
our
ability to market our product and services;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
our
ability to generate revenues; and
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
our
ability to raise the capital necessary to continue marketing and developing our product.
|
We
are not currently profitable and may not become profitable.
As
of December 31, 2020, we had $1,086,753 cash on hand and our Greenpro’s common stockholders’ equity was $8,395,602.
We have generated $2,254,811 in revenue in 2020 and have incurred operating loss of $2,905,575 and net loss of $3,752,953.
We expect to incur losses and negative operating cash flows for the foreseeable future, and we may not achieve profitability.
We also expect to experience negative cash flow for the foreseeable future due to operating losses and capital expenditures. As
a result, we will need to generate significant revenues in order to achieve and maintain profitability. We may not be able to
generate these revenues or achieve profitability in the future. Our failure to achieve or maintain profitability could negatively
impact the value of our business.
We
may not be able to continue to operate as a going concern.
For
the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company incurred a net loss of $3,752,953 and used cash in operating activities of
$1,567,758, and at December 31, 2020, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $3,411,175. In addition, the
Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, in their report on the Company’s December 31, 2020 audited
financial statements, raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These factors
raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date that the
financial statements are issued. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company
is unable to continue as a going concern.
The
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon improving its profitability and the continuing financial
support from its shareholders. Management believes the existing shareholders or external financing will provide the additional
cash to meet the Company’s obligations as they become due. No assurance can be given that any future financing, if needed,
will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. Even if the Company can obtain
additional financing, if necessary, it may contain undue restrictions on its operations, in the case of debt financing, or cause
substantial dilution for its stockholders, in the case of equity financing.
Our
operating results may prove unpredictable which could negatively affect our profit.
Our
operating results are likely to fluctuate significantly in the future due to a variety of factors, many of which we have no control.
Factors that may cause our operating results to fluctuate significantly include: our inability to generate enough working capital
from future equity sales; the level of commercial acceptance by clients of our services; fluctuations in the demand for our service
the amount and timing of operating costs and capital expenditures relating to expansion of our business, operations and infrastructure
and general economic conditions. If realized, any of these risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition and operating results.
If
we are unable to gain any significant market acceptance for our service or establish a significant market presence, we may be
unable to generate sufficient revenue to continue our business.
Our
growth strategy is substantially dependent upon our ability to successfully market our service to prospective clients. However,
our planned services may not achieve significant acceptance. Such acceptance, if achieved, may not be sustained for any significant
period of time. Failure of our services to achieve or sustain market acceptance could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial conditions and the results of our operations.
Management’s
ability to implement the business strategy may be slower than expected and we may be unable to generate a profit.
Our
business plans, including offering a cloud accounting system and consulting services, may not occur. Our growth strategy is subject
to significant risks which you should carefully consider before purchasing our shares.
Our
services may be slow to achieve profitability, or may not become profitable at all, which will result in losses. There can be
no assurance that we will succeed.
We
may be unable to enter into our intended markets successfully. The factors that could affect our growth strategy include our success
in (a) developing our business plan, (b) obtaining our clients, (c) obtaining adequate financing on acceptable terms, and (d)
adapting our internal controls and operating procedures to accommodate our future growth.
Our
systems, procedures and controls may not be adequate to support the expansion of our business operations. Significant growth will
place managerial demands on all aspects of our operations. Our future operating results will depend substantially upon our ability
to manage changing business conditions and to implement and improve our technical, administrative and financial controls and reporting
systems.
Competitors
may enter this sector with superior service which would affect our business adversely.
We
believe that barriers to entry are low to medium because of economies of scale, cost advantage and brand identity. Potential competitors
may enter this sector with superior services. This would have an adverse effect upon our business and our results of operations.
In addition, a high level of support is critical for the successful marketing and recurring sales of our services. Despite having
accumulated customers from the past four years, we may still need to continue to improve our platform and software in order to
assist potential customers in using our platform, and we also need to provide effective support to future clients. If we are unable
to increase customer support and improve our platform in the face of increasing competition, with the increase in competition,
our ability to sell our services to potential customers could adversely affect our brand, which would harm our reputation.
Our
use of open source and third-party software could impose limitations on our ability to commercialize our services.
We
intend to incorporate open-source software into our platform. Although we monitor our use of open source closely, the terms
of many open-source licenses have not been interpreted by U.S. courts or jurisdictions elsewhere, and there is a risk that
such licenses could be construed in a manner that could impose unanticipated conditions or restrictions on our ability to commercialize
our services. We could also be subject to similar conditions or restrictions should there be any changes in the licensing terms
of the open-source software incorporated into our products. In either event, we could be required to seek licenses from
third parties in order to continue our services in the event re-engineering cannot be accomplished on a timely or successful basis,
any of which could adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.
We
also intend to incorporate certain third-party technologies, including software programs, into our website and may need to utilize
additional third-party technologies in the future. However, licenses to relevant third-party technology may not continue to be
available to us on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. Therefore, we could face delays in releases of our platform until
equivalent technology can be identified, licensed or developed, and integrated into our current products. These delays, if they
occur, could materially adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition. Any disruption in our access
to software programs or third-party technologies could result in significant delays in releases of our platform and could require
substantial effort to locate or develop a replacement program. If we decide in the future to incorporate into our products any
other software program licensed from a third party, and the use of such software program is necessary for the proper operation
of our appliances, then our loss of any such license would similarly adversely affect our ability to release our products in a
timely fashion.
The
security of our computer systems may be compromised and harm our business.
A
significant portion of our business operations is conducted through use of our computer network. Although we intend to implement
security systems and procedures to protect the confidential information stored on these computer systems, experienced computer
programmers and hackers may be able to penetrate our network security and misappropriate our confidential information or that
of third parties. As well, they may be able to create system disruptions, shutdowns or effect denial of service attacks. Computer
programmers and hackers also may be able to develop and deploy viruses, worms, and other malicious software programs that attack
our networks or client computers, or otherwise exploit any security vulnerabilities, or that misappropriate and distribute confidential
information stored on these computer systems. Any of the foregoing could result in damage to our reputation and customer confidence
in the security of our products and services and could require us to incur significant costs to eliminate or alleviate the problem.
Additionally, our ability to transact business may be affected. Such damage, expenditures and business interruption could seriously
impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Adverse
developments in our existing areas of operation could adversely impact our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
Our
operations focus on utilizing the sales efforts which are principally located in South-East Asia and East Asia. As a result, the
results of our operations, cash flows and financial condition depend upon the demand for our services in these regions. Lack of
broad diversification in the industry type and geographic location, adverse developments in our current segment of the midstream
industry, or in our existing areas of operation, could have a greater impact on the results of operations, cash flows and financial
condition than if our operations were more diversified.
Risks
Related to Doing Business in South-East Asia and East Asia
Our
business is subject to the risks of international operations.
Our
business operations are conducted in South-East Asia and East Asia. Accordingly, the results of our operations, financial condition
and prospects are subject to a significant degree to the economic, political and legal conditions of the South-East Asia and East
Asia countries where we intend to develop business. Following the closing of our initial public offering in 2017, we derive a
significant portion of our revenues and earnings from Hong Kong, our principal business place, PRC, Malaysia and other South-East
Asia countries, respectively. Operation in multiple foreign countries involves substantial risk. For example, our operations and
business activities are subject to a variety of laws and regulations, such as anti-corruption laws, tax laws, foreign exchange
controls and cash repatriation restrictions, data privacy and security requirements, labor laws, intellectual property laws, privacy
laws, and anti-competition regulations. As we expand into additional countries, the complexity inherent in complying with these
laws and regulations increases, making compliance more difficult and costly and driving up the costs of doing business in foreign
jurisdictions. Any failure to comply with foreign laws and regulations could subject us to fines and penalties, make it more difficult
or impossible to do business in that country and harm our reputation.
The
Hong Kong economy may be vulnerable to slowdown in Chinese activity and world trade.
Since
Hong Kong is now closely linked to China with respect to economic and political development, Hong Kong economic and political
development will be more likely to be affected by China’s development. As there are more and more mainland Chinese companies
listed on The Hong Kong Stock Exchange and industries in general are becoming delocalized to mainland China, the Hong Kong stock
market and local economy will become more vulnerable to the economic development in the mainland China. If the economic development
in China becomes unstable, the Hong Kong economy will be negatively affected. Besides, the Hong Kong economy is externally oriented
and highly dependent on trade with the rest of the world. Our business may be subject to the cyclical effect of the economic development
in the world, including the adverse impact of the coronavirus outbreak in China.
Our
business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected by global health epidemics, including
the recent COVID-19 outbreak.
Outbreaks
of epidemic, pandemic, or contagious diseases such as COVID-19, could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition,
and results of operations. The spread of COVID-19 from China to other countries has resulted in the World Health Organization
declaring the outbreak of COVID-19 as a global pandemic. The international stock markets reflect the uncertainty associated
with the slow-down in the global economy and the reduced levels of international travel experienced since the beginning of January
2020, large declines in oil prices and the significant decline in the Dow Industrial Average at the end of February and
beginning of March 2020 was largely attributed to the effects of COVID-19. Any resulting financial impact cannot be reasonably
estimated at this time and the pandemic is still ongoing. The extent to which the COVID-19 impacts our results will depend
on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning
the severity of the coronavirus and the actions taken globally to contain the coronavirus or treat its impact, the efficacy
of vaccines on COVID-19 and its variants, among others. Existing insurance coverage may not provide protection for all costs
that may arise from all such possible events. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic may also affect our overall ability to react
timely to mitigate the impact of this event and may hamper our efforts to contact our service providers and advisors and 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 are still assessing our business operations and the impact COVID-19
may have on our results and financial condition, but there can be no assurance that this analysis will enable us to avoid part
or all of any impact from the spread of COVID-019 or its consequences, including downturns in business sentiment generally or
in our sector in particular.
We
face the risk that changes in the policies of the PRC government could have a significant impact upon the business we may be able
to conduct in the PRC and the profitability of such business.
The
PRC’s economy is in a transition from a planned economy to a market-oriented economy subject to five-year and annual plans
adopted by the central government that set national economic development goals. Policies of the PRC government can have significant
effects on the economic conditions of the PRC. The PRC government has confirmed that economic development will follow the model
of a market economy. Under this direction, we believe that the PRC will continue to strengthen its economic and trading relationships
with foreign countries and business development in the PRC will follow market forces. While we believe that this trend will continue,
we cannot assure you that this will be the case. A change in policies by the PRC government could adversely affect our interests
by, among other factors: changes in laws, regulations or the interpretation thereof, confiscatory taxation, restrictions on currency
conversion, imports or sources of supplies, or the expropriation or nationalization of private enterprises. Although the PRC government
has been pursuing economic reform policies for more than two decades, we cannot assure you that the government will continue to
pursue such policies or that such policies may not be significantly altered, especially in the event of a change in leadership,
social or political disruption, or other circumstances affecting the PRC’s political, economic and social environment.
Introduction
of new laws or changes to existing laws by the PRC government may adversely affect our business.
The
PRC legal system is a codified legal system made up of written laws, regulations, circulars, administrative directives and internal
guidelines. Unlike common law jurisdictions like the U.S., decided cases (which may be taken as reference) do not form part of
the legal structure of the PRC and thus have no binding effect on subsequent cases with similar issues and fact patterns. Furthermore,
in line with its transformation from a centrally planned economy to a relatively free market economy, the PRC government is still
in the process of developing a comprehensive set of laws and regulations. As the legal system in the PRC is still evolving, laws
and regulations or the interpretation of the same may be subject to further changes. For example, the PRC government may impose
restrictions on the amount of service fees that may be payable by municipal governments to wastewater and sludge treatment service
providers. Also, the PRC central and municipal governments may impose more stringent environmental regulations which would affect
our ability to comply with, or our costs to comply with, such regulations. Such changes, if implemented, may adversely affect
our business operations and may reduce our profitability
We
face the risk that changes in the world economy and political developments in Malaysia may adversely affect our business.
In
recent years, there have been political instabilities in the Malaysian government which may reduce investors’ confidence,
result in reduction in foreign direct investment and weigh on consumer and business sentiment, depressing growth. In addition,
the Malaysian economy is reliant on external demand. Any possible worsening global demand is likely to hinder the export development
and any economic weakness may possibly lead to market intervention and the government may impose capital controls. Under these
circumstances, our business operation may be adversely affected.
We
may be exposed to liabilities under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and any determination that we violated the foreign corrupt
practices act could have a material adverse effect on our business.
We
are subject to the Foreign Corrupt Practice Act, or FCPA, and other laws that prohibit improper payments or offers of payments
to foreign governments and their officials and political parties by U.S. persons and issuers as defined by the statute for the
purpose of obtaining or retaining business. We will have operations, agreements with third parties and make sales in South-East
Asia and East Asia, which may experience corruption. Our proposed activities in South-East Asia and East Asia create the risk
of unauthorized payments or offers of payments by one of the employees, consultants, or sales agents of our Company, because these
parties are not always subject to our control. It will be our policy to implement safeguards to discourage these practices by
our employees. Also, our existing safeguards and any future improvements may prove to be less than effective, and the employees,
consultants, or sales agents of our Company may engage in conduct for which we might be held responsible. Violations of the FCPA
may result in severe criminal or civil sanctions, and we may be subject to other liabilities, which could negatively affect our
business, operating results and financial condition. In addition, the government may seek to hold our Company liable for successor
liability FCPA violations committed by companies in which we invest or that we acquire.
You
may have difficulty enforcing judgments against us.
We
are a Nevada corporation but most of our assets are and will be located outside of the United States. Almost all our operations
are conducted in Hong Kong, Malaysia and the PRC. In addition, most of our officers and directors are the nationals and residents
of a country other than the United States. Most of their assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be
difficult for you to effect service of process within the United States upon them. It may also be difficult for you to enforce
in U.S. courts judgments on the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws against us and our officers and
directors, since he or she is not a resident in the United States. In addition, there is uncertainty as to whether the courts
of Hong Kong or other Asian countries would recognize or enforce judgments of U.S. courts.
Payment
of dividends is subject to restrictions under Nevada, Hong Kong, Malaysia and the PRC laws.
Under
Nevada law, we may only pay dividends subject to our ability to service our debts as they become due and provided that our assets
will exceed our liabilities after the payment of such dividends. Our ability to pay dividends will therefore depend on our ability
to generate adequate profits. Under the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance, we are permitted to make payments of dividends from distributable
profits (that is, accumulated realized profits less its accumulated realized losses). Under the Laws of Malaysia, we may only
make a distribution to the shareholders out of our profits available if we are solvent. The Company is regarded as solvent if
the Company can pay its debts as and when the debts become due within twelve months immediately after the distribution is made.
In addition, because of a variety of rules applicable to our operations in China and the regulations on foreign investments as
well as the applicable tax law, we may be subject to further limitations on our ability to declare and pay dividends to our shareholders.
We
can give no assurance that we will declare dividends of any amounts, at any rate or at all in the future. The declaration of future
dividends, if any, will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon our future operations and earnings,
capital requirements, general financial conditions, legal and contractual restrictions and other factors that our board of directors
may deem relevant.
Together,
our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Lee Chong Kuang, and our Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Loke Che Chan Gilbert own a large percentage
of our outstanding stock and could significantly influence the outcome of our corporate matters.
Mr.
Lee Chong Kuang, our CEO, beneficially owns 27.99% of our outstanding shares of Common Stock, and Mr. Loke Che Chan
Gilbert, our CFO, beneficially owns 27.85% of our outstanding shares of Common Stock. As a
result, Messrs. Lee and Loke are collectively able to exercise significant influence over all matters that require us to
obtain shareholder approval, including the election of directors to our board and approval of significant corporate transactions
that we may consider, such as a merger or other sale of our company or its assets. This concentration of ownership in our shares
by executive officers will limit the other shareholders’ ability to influence corporate matters and may have the effect
of delaying or preventing a third party from acquiring control over us.
Risks
Related to our Common Stock
Our
failure to meet the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq could result in the de-listing of our Common Stock.
On
November 29, 2019, we received a letter from Nasdaq which stated that, based upon the closing bid price of our Common Stock
for the last 30 consecutive business days, we no longer met the requirement set forth in NASDAQ Rule 5450(a)(1), which requires
listed securities to maintain a minimum bid price of $1 per share (the “Minimum Bid Price Rule”). In accordance with
NASDAQ Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we have been provided with a period of 180 calendar days, or until May 27, 2020, to regain compliance
with the Minimum Bid Price Rule. If we fail to satisfy the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq, including the minimum closing
bid price requirement, Nasdaq may take steps to delist our Common Stock. Such a delisting would likely have a negative
effect on the price of our Common Stock and would impair your ability to sell or purchase our Common Stock when
you wish to do so.
On
May 27, 2020, we regained compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule to maintain the bid price of our Common Stock closes
at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days.
Future
sales of substantial amounts of the shares of Common Stock by existing shareholders could adversely affect the price of
our Common Stock.
If
our existing shareholders sell substantial amounts of the shares, then the market price of our Common Stock could fall.
Such sales by our existing shareholders might make it more difficult for us to issue new equity or equity-related securities in
the future at a time and place we deem appropriate. If any existing shareholders sell substantial amounts of shares, the prevailing
market price for our shares could be adversely affected.
The
market price of our shares is likely to be highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to factors such as:
|
●
|
variations
in our actual and perceived operating results;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
news
regarding gains or losses of customers or partners by us or our competitors;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
news
regarding gains or losses of key personnel by us or our competitors;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
announcements
of competitive developments, acquisitions or strategic alliances in our industry by us or our competitors;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
changes
in earnings estimates or buy/sell recommendations by financial analysts;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
potential
litigation;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
general
market conditions or other developments affecting us or our industry; and
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
the
operating and stock price performance of other companies, other industries and other events or factors beyond our control.
|
In
addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are not related
to the operating performance of certain companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market
price of the shares.
In
case that our shares trade under $5.00 per share they will be considered penny stock. Trading in penny stocks has many restrictions
and these restrictions could severely affect the price and liquidity of our shares.
If
our stock trades below $5.00 per share, our stock would be known as a “penny stock”, which is subject to various regulations
involving disclosures to be given to you prior to the purchase of any penny stock. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
(the “SEC”) has adopted regulations which generally define a “penny stock” to be any equity security that
has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Depending on market fluctuations, our Common
Stock would be considered as a “penny stock”. A penny stock is subject to rules that impose additional sales practice
requirements on broker/dealers who sell these securities to persons other than established Members and accredited investors. For
transactions covered by these rules, the broker/dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of these
securities. In addition, he must receive the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase. He must
also provide certain written disclosures to the purchaser. Consequently, the “penny stock” rules may restrict the
ability of broker/dealers to sell our securities and may negatively affect the ability of holders of shares of our Common Stock
to resell them. These disclosures require you to acknowledge that you understand the risks associated with buying penny stocks
and that you can absorb the loss of your entire investment. Penny stocks are low priced securities that do not have a very high
trading volume. Consequently, the price of the stocks is often volatile, and you may not be able to buy or sell the stock when
you want to.
We
do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our Common Stock in the foreseeable future.
We
do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Presently, we intend to retain all our earnings, if any, to
finance development and expansion of our business. Consequently, your only opportunity to achieve a positive return on your investment
in us will be if the market price of our Common Stock appreciates.

NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR
THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2020 AND 2019
(Expressed
in U.S. Dollars)
NOTE
1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Greenpro
Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on July 19, 2013 in the state of Nevada, and in 2015 changed its name to Greenpro
Capital Corp. The Company currently provides a wide range of business consulting and corporate advisory services including cross-border
listing advisory services, tax planning, advisory and transaction services, record management services, and accounting outsourcing
services. As part of our business consulting and corporate advisory business segment, Greenpro Venture Capital Limited provides
a business incubator for start-up and high growth companies during their critical growth period and focuses on investments in
select start-up and high growth potential companies. In addition to our business consulting and corporate advisory business segment,
we operate another business segment that focuses on the acquisition and rental of real estate properties held for investment and
the and sale of real estate properties held for sale. Our focus is on companies located in South-East Asia and East Asia including
Hong Kong, the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”), Malaysia, Thailand, and Singapore.
Going
Concern
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and
the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying financial statements,
for the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company incurred a net loss of $3,752,953 and used cash in operating activities
of $1,567,758 and at December 31, 2020, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $3,411,175. These factors
raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date that the
financial statements are issued. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company
is unable to continue as a going concern.
The
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon improving its profitability and the continuing financial
support from its shareholders. Management believes the existing shareholders or external financing will provide the additional
cash to meet the Company’s obligations as they become due. No assurance can be given that any future financing, if needed,
will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. Even if the Company can obtain
additional financing, if needed, it may contain undue restrictions on its operations, in the case of debt financing, or cause
substantial dilution for its stockholders, in the case of equity financing.
COVID-19
Outbreak
On
January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency because of a new strain
of coronavirus originating in Wuhan, China (the “COVID-19 outbreak”) and the risks to the international community
as the virus spreads globally beyond its point of origin. In March 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic,
based on the rapid increase in exposure globally.
The
full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak continues to evolve as of the date of this report. As such, it is uncertain as to the full
magnitude that the pandemic will have on our financial condition, liquidity, and future results of operations. Management is actively
monitoring the impact of the global situation on our financial condition, liquidity, operations, suppliers, industry, and workforce.
Given the daily evolution of the COVID-19 outbreak and the global responses to curb its spread, we are not able to estimate the
effects of the COVID-19 outbreak on our results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity for the year ended December 31,
2021.
Basis
of presentation and principles of consolidation
The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries and majority-owned subsidiaries
which the Company controls and entities for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. For those consolidated subsidiaries
where the Company’s ownership is less than 100%, the outside shareholders’ interests are shown as noncontrolling interests
in equity. Acquired businesses are included in the consolidated financial statements from the dates of acquisition. The accompanying
consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use
of estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at
the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant
accounting estimates include certain assumptions related to, among others, the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, impairment
analysis of real estate assets and other long-term assets including goodwill, estimates inherent in recording purchase price allocation,
valuation allowance on deferred income taxes, the assumptions used in the valuation of the derivative liability, and the accrual
of potential liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Revenue
recognition
The
Company follows the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASC
606 creates a five-step model that requires entities to exercise judgment when considering the terms of contracts, which includes
(1) identifying the contracts or agreements with a customer, (2) identifying our performance obligations in the contract or agreement,
(3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the separate performance obligations, and (5) recognizing
revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable
that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the services it transfers to its clients (see
Note 2).
Cash,
cash equivalents, and restricted cash
Cash
consists of funds on hand and held in bank accounts. Cash equivalents includes demand deposits placed with banks or other financial
institutions and all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, including money market funds.
Restricted cash represents cash restricted for the loan collateral requirements as defined in a loan agreement, and also the minimum
paid-up share capital requirement for insurance brokers specified under the Insurance Ordinance of Hong Kong.
At
December 31, 2020 and 2019, cash included funds held by employees of $10,911 and $33,096, respectively and was held to facilitate
payment of expenses in local currencies and to facilitate third-party online payment platforms which the Company had not set up
corporate accounts for (WeChat Pay and Alipay).

Receivable
Accounts
receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount less an allowance for any uncollectible accounts. Management reviews the adequacy
of the allowance for doubtful accounts on an ongoing basis, using historical collection trends and aging of receivables. Management
also periodically evaluates individual customer’s financial condition, credit history and the current economic conditions
to make an adjustment to the allowance when it is considered necessary. Account balances are charged off against the allowance
after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.

Office
leaseholds represents three adjoining office units used by the Company located in a commercial building in Shenzhen, China. The
office leasehold is subject to a land lease with a term of 27 years and is being amortized over the remaining lease term. Expenditures
for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation and amortization expense, classified as operating expenses,
was $120,190 and $118,951 for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Management
assesses the carrying value of property and equipment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value
may not be recoverable. If there is indication of impairment, management prepares an estimate of future cash flows expected to
result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If these cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset,
an impairment loss is recognized to write down the asset to its estimated fair value. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and
2019, the Company determined there were no indicators of impairment of its property and equipment.
Real
estate held for sale
Real
estate held for sale is reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value, less estimated costs to sell. The cost of real
estate held for sale includes the purchase price of property, legal fees, improvement costs to the building structure, and other
acquisition costs. We actively market all properties that are designated as held for sale. Real estate held for sale is not depreciated.
In
conducting its reviews for indicators of impairment, the Company evaluates, among other things, the margins on units already sold
within the project, margins on units under contract but not closed (none as of December 31, 2020), and projected margin on future
unit sales. The Company pays close attention to discern if the real estate held for sale is moving at a slower than expected pace
or where margins are trending downward. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company determined there were no indicators
of impairment of its real estate held for sale.

Amortization
expense for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 was $87,665 and $95,136, respectively.
The
Company follows ASC 360 in accounting for intangible assets, which requires impairment losses to be recorded when indicators of
impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by the assets are less than the assets’
carrying amounts. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company determined there were no indicators of impairment
of intangible assets (see Note 7).
Goodwill
Goodwill
is the excess of cost of an acquired entity over the fair value of amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed
in a business combination. Under the guidance of ASC 350, goodwill is not amortized, rather it is tested for impairment annually,
and will be tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would indicate the carrying
amount may be impaired. An impairment loss generally would be recognized when the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s
net assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the reporting unit and would be measured as the excess carrying value of goodwill
over the derived fair value of goodwill. The Company’s policy is to perform an annual impairment testing for its reporting
units on December 31, of each fiscal year. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company determined there were no
indicators of impairment of goodwill (see Note 7).
Impairment
of long-lived assets
Long-lived
assets primarily include real estate held for investment, property and equipment and intangible assets. In accordance with the
provision of ASC 360, the Company generally conducts its annual impairment evaluation to its long-lived assets, usually in the
fourth quarter of each year, or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist, such as a significant sustained change in the
business climate. The recoverability of long-lived assets is measured at the reporting unit level. If the total of the expected
undiscounted future net cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, a loss is recognized for the difference between
the fair value and carrying amount of the asset. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company determined there were no indicators
of impairment of its real estate held for investment and its property and equipment.
Investments
Investments
in equity securities
The
Company accounts for its investments that represent less than 20% ownership, and for which the Company does not have the
ability to exercise significant influence, using ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Overall: Recognition and
Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The Company measure investments in equity securities
without a readily determinable fair value using a measurement alternative that measures these securities at the cost method
minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes on a non-recurring basis. Gains and
losses on these securities are recognized in other income and expenses. At December 31, 2020, the Company had nine
investments in equity securities without readily determinable fair values of related parties valued at $6,829,660, and
nine investments in equity securities without readily determinable fair values of related parties had been fully impaired
with carrying value of $nil. At December 31, 2019, the Company had two investments in equity securities without
readily determinable fair values of related parties valued at $53,363, and ten investments in equity securities
without readily determinable fair values of relates parties had been fully impaired with carrying value of $nil (see Note
6).
Leases
Prior
to January 1, 2019, the Company accounted for leases under ASC 840, Accounting for Leases. Effective January 1, 2019, the Company
adopted the guidance of ASC 842, Leases, which requires an entity to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for
virtually all leases. The implementation of ASC 842 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements and did not have a significant impact on our liquidity or on our compliance with our financial covenants associated
with our loans. The Company adopted ASC 842 using a modified retrospective approach. As a result, the comparative financial information
has not been updated and the required disclosures prior to the date of adoption have not been updated and continue to be reported
under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. The adoption of ASC 842 on January 1, 2019 resulted in the initial
recognition of operating lease right-of-use assets of $582,647, lease liabilities for operating leases of $582,647, and a zero
cumulative-effect adjustment to accumulated deficit (see Note 8).
Debt
discount
During
the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company incurred $190,000 of debt discount related to the issuance of convertible promissory
notes, as described in Note 11. The discount was amortized over the life of the convertible promissory notes and the Company recognized
$15,122 of related amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Debt
issuance costs
During
the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company incurred direct costs associated with the issuance of convertible promissory notes,
as described in Note 11, and recorded $130,000 of debt issuance costs as a discount to the convertible promissory notes and amortized
over the life of the convertible promissory notes. The Company recognized approximately $6,780 of related amortization expense
for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Derivative
financial instruments
Derivative
financial instruments consist of financial instruments that contain a notional amount and one or more underlying variables such
as interest rate, security price, variable conversion rate or other variables, require no initial net investment and permit net
settlement. The derivative financial instruments may be free-standing or embedded in other financial instruments.
The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify
as embedded derivatives. The Company follows the provision of ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging for derivative financial
instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then
re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. The classification
of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at
the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current
based on whether net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
At each reporting date, the Company reviews its convertible securities to determine that their classification is appropriate.
Income
taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability approach which allows for the recognition and measurement of deferred
tax assets based upon the likelihood of realization of tax benefits in future years. Under the asset and liability approach, deferred
taxes are provided for the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for
financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax
assets if it is more likely than not these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize their benefits, or that
future deductibility is uncertain.
The
Company conducts major businesses in Hong Kong, Malaysia, China and Australia, and is subject to tax in these jurisdictions. As
a result of its business activities, the Company will file separate tax returns that are subject to examination by the foreign
tax authorities.
Net
loss per share
Basic
net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding, adjusted for the dilutive effect of outstanding Common Stock equivalents. At December
31, 2020 and 2019, the only outstanding Common Stock equivalents were warrants for 53,556 potentially dilutive shares outstanding
that have been excluded from the calculation of weighted average shares as the effect would have been anti-dilutive and therefore
basic and diluted net loss per share were the same.
Foreign
currencies translation
The
reporting currency of the Company is the United States Dollars (“US$”) and the accompanying consolidated financial
statements have been expressed in US$. In addition, the Company’s operating subsidiaries maintain their books and records
in their respective local currency, which consists of Malaysian Ringgit (“MYR”), Renminbi (“RMB”), Hong
Kong Dollars (“HK$”) and Australian Dollars (“AU$”), which is also the respective functional currency
of subsidiaries.
In
general, for consolidation purposes, assets and liabilities of its subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the US$ are translated
into US$ using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during
the period. The gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements of a foreign subsidiary are recorded as a
separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss within equity.
Translation
of amounts from the local currencies of the Company into US$ has been made at the following exchange rates for the respective
periods:

Comprehensive
income
Comprehensive
income is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances
from non-owner sources. The Company’s accumulated other comprehensive income consists of cumulative foreign currency translation
adjustments.
Fair
value of financial instruments
The
Company follows the guidance of the ASC 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820-10”),
with respect to financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value. ASC 820-10 establishes a three-tier fair value
hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
●
|
Level
1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
|
|
|
●
|
Level
2: Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
|
|
|
●
|
Level
3: Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own
assumptions
|
The
Company believes the carrying amount reported in the balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts
payable and accrued liabilities, deferred revenue, and due to related parties, approximate their fair values because of the short-term
nature of these financial instruments.
As
of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company’s balance sheet includes Level 3 liabilities comprised of the fair value
of derivative liabilities of $1,189,786 and $28,545, respectively (see Note 9). The following table sets forth a summary
of the changes in the estimated fair value of our derivative during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019:

Concentrations
of risks
For
the year ended December 31, 2020, three customers accounted for 30% (16%, 11% and 3%, respectively) of revenue and three customers
accounted for 82% (74%, 5% and 3%, respectively) of accounts receivable at year-end.
For
the year ended December 31, 2019, three customers accounted for 30% (16%, 7% and 7%, respectively) of revenue and three customers
accounted for 58% (32%, 22% and 4%, respectively) of accounts receivable at year-end.
For
the year ended December 31, 2020, no vendor accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s cost of revenues and three vendors
accounted for 62% (27%, 21% and 14%, respectively) of accounts payable at year-end.
For
the year ended December 31, 2019, no vendor accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s cost of revenues, or accounts payable
at year-end.
Exchange
rate risk
The
reporting currency of the Company is US$ but the major revenues and costs are denominated in MYR, RMB and HK$, and a significant
portion of the assets and liabilities are denominated in MYR, RMB and HK$. As a result, the Company is exposed to a foreign exchange
risk as its revenues and results of operations may be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate between US$ and MYR, US$ and
RMB or US$ and HK$. If MYR, RMB or HK$ depreciates against US$, the values of the MYR, RMB or HK$ revenues and assets when convert
and report to the Company’s US$ financial statements will accordingly decline. The Company does not hold any derivative
or other financial instruments that may expose it to a substantial market risk.
Risks
and uncertainties
Substantially
all the Company’s services are conducted in Hong Kong, the PRC, Malaysia, Thailand, Taiwan, and the South-East Asia region.
The Company’s operations are subject to various political and economic risks, including the risks of restrictions on transfer
of funds, export duties, quotas and embargoes, changing taxation policies, and political conditions and governmental regulations,
and the adverse impact of the coronavirus outbreak.
Recent
accounting pronouncements
In
August 2020, the FASB issued “ASU 2020-06, Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 47020) and Derivatives and Hedging
– Contracts in Equity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)” which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments.
The guidance removes certain accounting models which separate the embedded conversion features from the host contract for convertible
instruments. Either a modified retrospective method of transition or a fully retrospective method of transition is permissible
for the adoption of this standard. Update No. 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including
interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted no earlier than the fiscal year beginning after December
15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the potential on its financial statements.
In
June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Credit Losses - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASC
326”). The standard significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets, including accounts
and notes receivables. The standard will replace today’s “incurred loss” approach with an “expected loss”
model, under which companies will recognize allowances based on expected rather than incurred losses. Entities will apply the
standard’s provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting
period in which the guidance is effective. The standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after
December 15, 2022. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting this standard on the Company’s financial statements
and related disclosures.
Other
recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact
on the Company’s present or future financial statements.
NOTE
2 - REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS
The
Company’s revenue consists of revenue from providing business consulting and corporate advisory services (“service
revenue”), revenue from the sale of real estate properties, and revenue from the rental of real estate properties.
Revenue
from services
For
certain service contracts, we assist or provide advisory to clients in capital market listings (“Listing services”),
our services provided to clients are considered as one performance obligation. Revenue and expenses are deferred until the performance
obligation is complete and collectability of the consideration is probable. For service contracts where the performance obligation
is not completed, deferred costs of revenue are recorded as incurred and deferred revenue is recorded for any payments received
on such yet to be completed performance obligations. On an ongoing basis, management monitors these contracts for profitability
and when needed may record a liability if a determination is made that costs will exceed revenue.
For
other services such as company secretarial, accounting, financial analysis, insurance brokerage services, and other related services
(“Non-listing services”), the Company’s performance obligations are satisfied, and the related revenue is recognized,
as services are rendered. For contracts in which we act as an agent, the Company reports revenue net of expenses paid.
The
Company offers no discounts, rebates, rights of return, or other allowances to clients which would result in the establishment
of reserves against service revenue. Additionally, to date, the Company has not incurred incremental costs in obtaining a client
contract.
Revenue
from the sale of real estate properties
The
Company follows the guidance of ASC 610-20, Other Income - Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets
(“ASC 610-20”), which applies to sales or transfers to noncustomers of nonfinancial assets. Generally, the Company’s
sales of its real estate properties are considered a sale of a nonfinancial asset. Under ASC 610-20, the Company derecognizes
the asset and recognizes a gain or loss on the sale of the real estate when control of the underlying asset transfers to the buyer.
During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized revenue from the sale of one unit, of commercial property
held for sale, respectively.
Revenue
from the rental of real estate properties
Rental
revenue represents lease rental income from the Company’s tenants. The tenants pay monthly in accordance with lease agreements
and the Company recognizes the income ratably over the lease term as this is the most representative of the pattern in which the
benefit is expected to be derived from the underlying asset.
Cost
of revenues
Cost
of service revenue primarily consists of employee compensation and related payroll benefits, company formation costs, and other
professional fees directly attributable to the services rendered.
Cost
of real estate properties sold primarily consists of the purchase price of property, legal fees, improvement costs to the building
structure, and other acquisition costs. Selling and advertising costs are expensed as incurred.
Cost
of rental revenue primarily includes costs associated with repairs and maintenance, property insurance, depreciation and other
related administrative costs. Property management fees and utility expenses are paid directly by tenants.

Investment
in equity securities without readily determinable fair values of affiliates (related parties):
|
Equity
securities without readily determinable fair values are investments in privately held companies without readily determinable market
values. The Company adopted the guidance of ASC 321, Investments - Equity Securities, which allows an entity to measure investments
in equity securities without a readily determinable fair value using a measurement alternative that measures these securities
at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical
or similar investment of same issuer (the “Measurement Alternative”). The fair value of equity securities without
readily determinable fair values that have been remeasured due to impairment are classified within Level 3. Management assesses
each of these investments on an individual basis. Additionally, on a quarterly basis, management is required to make a qualitative
assessment of whether the investment is impaired. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company did not recognize any fair
value adjustments for equity securities without readily determinable fair values.
In
addition, the Company held equity securities without readily determinable fair values that were recorded at cost. For these cost
method investments, we recorded as other investments in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. We reviewed all of our cost
method investments quarterly to determine if impairment indicators were present; however, we were not required to determine fair
value of these investments unless impairment indicators exist. When impairment indicators exist, we generally used discounted
cash flow analyses to that the fair values of our cost method investments approximated or exceeded their carrying values as of
December 31, 2020. Our cost method investments had a carrying value of $6,465,160 as of December 31, 2020.
At
December 31, 2020 and 2019, the carrying values of equity securities without readily determinable fair values are as follows:

option (a related party):

Pursuant
to the stock purchase and option agreement of October 19, 2020, Mr. Tang Ka Siu Johnny (“Mr. Tang”)
and First Bullion Holdings Inc. (“FBHI”) also granted to the Company an option for 180 days following the date of

issue 250,000 restricted shares of the Company’s Common Stock to Mr. Tang, which shall constitute partial
payment for the Shares Purchase should the Company elect to exercise the option. The Company’s exit strategies
for many of its unlisted emerging market equity investments include long positions in option contracts, many of which are not
considered derivative instruments under Subtopic 815-10 Derivatives and Hedging - Overall, because they general fail its net settlement
criteria. As such, the option is not considered derivative instrument and the Company measures the option initially recognized
at cost and subsequently measured at cost, less any other than temporary impairment by analogy to Subtopic 325-20. As these options
are subsequently measured at cost, less impairment increases in their fair values are not recognized in the financial statements
until they are exercised.
Pursuant
to the agreement, the purchase price of the option shall be based on the average closing price of the Company’s Common
Stock for the five trading days preceding the date of exercise of the option. On December 11, 2020, the Company issued
250,000 shares of its Common Stock to two designees of Mr. Tang based on the average closing price of the Company’s

At

NOTE
8 - OPERATING LEASES
At
December 31, 2020, the Company has two separate operating lease agreements for one office space in each of Malaysia and Hong Kong
with remaining lease terms of 3 months and 4 months, respectively. The Company does not have any other leases. Leases with an
initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. The Company accounts for the lease and non-lease components
of its leases as a single lease component. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Operating
lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of
lease payments over the lease term. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities
represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Generally, the implicit rate of interest (“discount
rate”) in arrangements is not readily determinable and the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate in determining
the present value of lease payments. The Company’s incremental borrowing rate is a hypothetical rate based on its understanding
of what its credit rating would be. The operating lease ROU asset includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives.

Warrants
On
June 12, 2018, warrants exercisable into 53,556 shares of the Company’s Common Stock were issued as placement agent
fees related to the Company’s sale of Common Stock (see Note 13). The strike price of warrants issued by the Company
is denominated in US dollars, a currency other than the Company’s functional currencies, the HK$, RMB, and MYR. As a result,
the warrants are not considered indexed to the Company’s own stock, and the Company characterized the fair value of the
warrants as a derivative liability upon issuance. The derivative liability is re-measured at the end of every reporting period
with the change in value reported in the statement of operations.
The
derivative liabilities were valued using the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model with the following assumptions:

The
risk-free interest rate is based on the yield available on U.S. Treasury securities. The Company estimates volatility based on
the historical volatility if its Common Stock. The expected life of the warrants is based on the expiration date of the
warrants. The expected dividend yield was based on the fact the Company has not paid dividends to common shareholders in the past
and does not expect to pay dividends to common shareholders in the future. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company
recognized a loss of $51,441 associated with the revaluation of above derivative liability.
Convertible
debt early redemption options
On
October 13, 2020, the Company issued three unsecured convertible promissory notes with certain Investors’ early redemption
options, that are considered derivative liabilities (see Note 11).
The
Company used Trinomial Option Pricing Model to estimate the fair value of the derivative liability. The derivative liability was
classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because certain unobservable inputs were used in the valuation model. The
fair value of the derivative liability was estimated to be $1,306,700 at October 13, 2020 and $1,109,800 at December 31, 2020.
The
Company estimated the fair value of derivative liabilities using the following assumptions:

NOTE
11 - CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE, NET
On
October 13, 2020, the Company issued three unsecured convertible promissory notes to Streeterville Capital, LLC, FirstFire Global
Opportunities Fund, LLC and Granite Global Value Investments Ltd. (collectively, the “Investors”), respectively. The
notes were issued with combined principal amount of $1,790,000 and the initial issuance discount of $190,000. As part of debt
issuance, the Company also incurred brokers’ fees of $130,000, recorded as a debt discount. The notes bear the face interest
rate of 10% and have contractual maturity of 18 months since the issuance.
Investor
Conversion and Early Redemption Options
At
the Investors’ option, the notes can be converted in Company’s Common Stock at any time at the conversion price of
$ 1 per share, subject to standard anti-dilution protection clauses (the lender’s conversion price).
The
Investors have an option to redeem the notes prior to their contractual maturity (put option) but not before 6 months since the
issuance date. If the put option is exercised, Investors’ monthly redemption amounts including principal and face interest
are capped at $108,000. In case of early redemption, the Company has an option to settle its obligation in cash or, if certain
conditions are met, in stock. Stock settlement is performed at the rate determined as the lesser of (i) the lender’s conversion
price and (ii) 0.75 multiplied by the weighted average trading price of the Company’s Common Stock calculated for a specified
period.
The
Investors have an option to demand the repayment of debt upon default, as defined in the terms of the notes.
Issuer
Early Redemption Option
The
Company has an option to prepay the notes ahead of contractual maturity at 120% of notes principal value and accrued and unpaid
face interest.
The
Company assessed the Investors’ conversion option for the scope exception for contracts involving a reporting entity’s
own equity. The Company concluded that the conversion option is indexed to Company’s own stock, is considered “conventional”
and can be classified in Company’s stockholders’ equity. The conversion option was not separated from but presented
as part of the debt instrument.
Investors’
conversion option was determined to be in the money at the commitment date. The non-detachable option was determined to be a beneficial
conversion feature measured at the intrinsic value and recorded in Company’s additional paid-in capital. The intrinsic value
was determined by calculating the initial effective conversion price. Effective conversion price was calculated as the ratio between
the total proceeds allocated to the convertible instrument and the number of shares into which it is convertible. The proceeds
allocated to the conversion instrument were impacted by the initial issuance discount. The number of shares issuable under the
terms of the conversion option was 1,790,000. The overall amount of beneficial conversion feature recognized at issuance was $995,500.
The
Company assessed Investors’ put option and Investors’ option to redeem the debt upon default using bifurcation guidance
per ASC 815-15, Embedded Derivatives. The Company concluded that economic characteristics and risks of Investors’ put option
are not considered clearly and closely related to debt host and that Investors’ put option should be separated from the
host instrument. The Company noted that certain events triggering the default including fundamental transaction and non-compliance
with listing requirements are not directly related to Company’s creditworthiness. Economic characteristics and risks of
Investors’ put option triggered by the occurrence of such events are not considered clearly and closely related to the economic
characteristics and risks of the host instrument.
Investors’
put option and the option to redeem the debt upon default triggered by events not directly linked to Company’s creditworthiness
were separated from the debt instrument and presented as a “compound” derivative liability (see Note 9).
Estimated
fair value of the derivative liability, intrinsic value of beneficial conversion feature and debt issuance cost equal $408,800
for two promissory notes and $489,100 for the other promissory note. Proceeds allocated to debt net of debt discount were $148,000
for the two promissory notes and $178,500 for the other note. The excess of estimated fair value of derivative liability and other
debt discount over the debt proceeds was $832,200 (the excess). The excess was due to the terms of debt financing transactions
and management effort to address Company’s liquidity issues. The Company recognized the excess as an upfront interest expense
in the income statement. Net carrying value of promissory notes at issuance was $nil.

October 13, 2020, net carrying value of the short-term convertible notes is as follows:

with the Company’s internal organization structure as well as information about services categories, business segments and
major customers in financial statements. The Company has two reportable segments that are based on the following business units:
service business and real estate business. In accordance with the “Segment Reporting” Topic of the ASC, the Company’s
chief operating decision maker has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer and President, who reviews operating results
to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance for the entire Company. Existing guidance, which is based
on a management approach to segment reporting, establishes requirements to report selected segment information quarterly and to
report annually entity-wide disclosures about products and services, major customers, and the countries in which the entity holds
material assets and reports revenue. All material operating units qualify for aggregation under “Segment Reporting”
due to their similar customer base and similarities in economic characteristics; nature of products and services; and procurement,
manufacturing and distribution processes. The Company operates two reportable business segments:
●
|
Service
business – provision of corporate advisory and business solution services
|
|
|
●
|
Real
estate business – trading or leasing of commercial real estate properties in Hong Kong and Malaysia
