Explanatory Note

In this Annual Report on Form 10-K, Astika Holdings, Inc. is sometimes referred to as the “Company”, “we”, “our”, “us” or “registrant” and U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is sometimes referred to as the “SEC”.

PART I

Item 1. Business.

Our Company

Astika Holdings, Inc. is refocusing and preparing to relaunch the Company through one or more strategic acquisitions in the textile, service, agricultural and industrial sectors in Asia and New Zealand.  We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida on January 13, 2011.  On September 26, 2014, the Company dissolved its subsidiary Astika Music Entertainment, Inc.  The dissolution was in response to the change in the nature of business operations. For the year ended December 31, 2017, we generated $0 revenues and had a net loss of $269,600.

We qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, which became law in April, 2012.  Under the JOBS Act, “emerging growth companies”, can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We have elected not to avail ourselves of this exemption from new or revised accounting standards and, therefore, will be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies.

Our principal executive offices are located at Level 1, 725 Rosebank Road, Avondale, Auckland, 1348, New Zealand. Our telephone number is (64) 9 929 0502. We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida on January 13, 2011. Our fiscal year end is December 31.

Current Operations

We ceased providing services to customers and other activities that generate revenue. Significant costs after this period consisted primarily of audit and legal costs. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, we did not conduct business operations except to evaluate potential lines of business.  

Going Concern
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company currently has no operations and as of December 31, 2017 had a shareholders deficit of $69,200. The Company intends to find a merger target in the form of an operating entity. The Company cannot be certain that it will be successful in this strategy.

These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
1

Research and Development

We have not incurred any research and development costs in the fiscal years ended December 31, 2017 or 2016.

Personnel

As of April 15, 2019, we employed two persons on a part-time basis.  None of our employees is subject to a collective bargaining agreement.

Intellectual Property
 
We currently have not obtained any copyrights, patents or trademarks. We do not anticipate filing any copyright or trademark applications related to any assets over the next 12 months. 
 
Government Regulation
 
We are required to comply with all regulations, rules and directives of governmental authorities and agencies in any jurisdiction which we would conduct activities in the future. As of now there are no required governmental approvals present that we need approval from or any existing government regulation on our business.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Not applicable to smaller reporting companies.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments.

None.

Item 2. Properties.

Our executive offices are located at Level 1, 725 Rosebank Road, Avondale, Auckland, 1348, New Zealand. The Company does not own or rent property.  The office space is provided by an officer at no charge.  We believe that this space is presently adequate for our needs.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

We are not a party to any legal proceedings, nor are we aware of any threatened litigation whatsoever.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures

Not applicable to smaller reporting companies.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our financial statements, including the notes thereto, appearing in this Form 10-K and are hereby referenced. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed below and elsewhere in this report. You should not place undue certainty on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this report. We believe it is important to communicate our expectations. However, our management disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

These forward-looking statements are based on our management’s current expectations and beliefs and involve numerous risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations. You should not rely upon these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events because we cannot assure you that the events or circumstances reflected in these statements will be achieved or will occur. You can identify a forward-looking statement by the use of the forward-terminology, including words such as “may”, “will”, “believes”, “anticipates”, “estimates”, “expects”, “continues”, “should”, “seeks”, “intends”, “plans”, and/or words of similar import, or the negative of these words and phrases or other variations of these words and phrases or comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements relate to, among other things: our sales, results of operations and anticipated cash flows; capital expenditures; depreciation and amortization expenses; sales, general and administrative expenses; our ability to maintain and develop relationship with our existing and potential future customers;  and, our ability to maintain a level of investment that is required to remain competitive. Many factors could cause our actual results to differ materially from those projected in these forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to: variability of our revenues and financial performance; risks associated with technological changes; the acceptance of our products in the marketplace by existing and potential customers; disruption of operations or increases in expenses due to our involvement with litigation or caused by civil or political unrest or other catastrophic events; general economic conditions, government mandates; and, the continued employment of our key personnel and other risks associated with competition.

Overview

Astika Holdings, Inc. is refocusing and preparing to relaunch the Company through a variety of strategic acquisitions in the textile, service, agricultural, and industrial sectors to complement and capture the next wave of growth companies from Asia and New Zealand.  We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida on January 13, 2011.

Results of Operations for the Year Ended December 31, 2017 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2016

Revenues .

The Company did not have any revenue for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.  The lack of revenue was due to a change in the business plans of the Company.

General and Administrative Expenses .

The Company has had nominal operations and only incurred expenses relating to being a public reporting company, and seeking for acquisition and financing, including professional service fees for preparing our SEC reports, transfer agent fees, and consulting fees for merger and acquisition and investment advisory services. General and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2017 were $158,477, as compared to $18,381 for the year ended December 31, 2016.  The significant increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to the increase of accounting, legal and consulting fees related to the Company’s SEC reports and consulting expenses associated with the Company’s acquisition and financing activities.

During the year ended December 31, 2017, we had actively worked on the preparation for acquisition and sought for new financing sources.  We engaged a consulting firm to help raising capital for our acquisition, operation, and growth.  For the year ended December 31, 2017, the increase in general and administrative expense were primarily due to the higher expenditure associated with such acquisition and financial activities and additional SEC reports.

In December 2017, the Company issued 1,210,000 shares of its Series B convertible preferred stock and raised total gross proceeds of $508,200.  A total issuing cost of $306,391 was recognized as deduction to equity (Additional Paid-in Capital) and was not included in general and administrative expenses.

Loss on change in fair value of derivative.

During the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, $82,872 and $3,122 was recorded as a loss on mark-to-market of the conversion options, respectively. The Company estimated the fair value of the derivative liabilities using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company has had only nominal operations and does not have any cash generated from business operations.  We funded our operating expenses by issuing notes to related and unrelated parties and borrowing loans from our related parties. In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2017, we issued convertible preferred stock for gross proceeds of $508,200.  Our plan is to obtain financing from various investors and complete our acquisition project.

We measure our liquidity in a number of ways, including the following:

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $194,044 for the year ended December 31, 2017, which was an increase of 194,044 from $0 net cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2016. The increase was primarily due to the increase in operating loss.

We experienced no cash flow from operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2016 due to cash used to fund a net loss of $23,534, adjusted for non-cash expenses related to loss on derivative, and decrease in prepaid expense, as well as the increase in accounts payable for legal and accounting services to being a public reporting company.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

We experienced no cash flow from investing activities for year ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities

During the year ended December 31, 2017, we paid back $142,779 of earlier loans from our related parties and borrowed new loans of totaling $135,015 from our related parties.  We also issued 1,210,000 shares of Series B convertible preferred stock for net proceeds of $201,808.
Availability of Additional Funds

Based on our working capital deficit as of December 31, 2017, we will need additional equity and/or debt financing to continue our operations during the next 12 months. See “Description of Business”.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Our significant estimates and assumptions include the fair value of our stock, and the valuation allowance relating to the Company’s deferred tax assets.

We qualify as an “emerging growth company”, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, which became law in April, 2012.  Under the JOBS Act, “emerging growth companies”, can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We have elected not to avail ourselves of this exemption from new or revised accounting standards and, therefore, will be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
5

We regularly evaluate the accounting policies and estimates that we use to prepare our financial statements. In general, management's estimates are based on historical experience, on information from third party professionals, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

We consider all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2017, we have no cash equivalents.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Share Based Payments

We recognize compensation cost for stock-based awards to employees in accordance with ASC Topic 718, over the requisite service period for each separately vesting tranche, as if multiple awards were granted. Compensation cost is based on grant-date fair value using quoted market prices for our common stock. We recognize compensation cost for stock-based awards to nonemployees in accordance with ASC Topic 505.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

The Company computes earnings per share in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share”. Under the provisions of ASC 260, basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common and potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period.  There were no potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes as outlined in ASC 740, “Income Taxes”. Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements” (ASC 820) and ASC 825, “Financial Instruments” (ASC 825), requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. It establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument's categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. It prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 - Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.

6

Level 3 - Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The carrying values of cash, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate fair value. Pursuant to ASC 820 and 825, the fair value of cash is determined based on "Level 1" inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The recorded values of all other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2017, FASB issued ASU 2017-01, "Business Combinations (Topic 805) - Clarifying the Definition of a Business". The Board is issuing the amendments in this ASU to clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses.  The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill, and consolidation. The amendments in this ASU affect all reporting entities that must determine whether they have acquired or sold a business.  Public business entities should apply the amendments in this ASU to annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. However, early application of the amendments in this ASU if 1) for transactions for which the acquisition date occurs before the issuance date or effective date of the amendments, only when the transaction has not been reported in financial statements that have been issued or made available for issuance, or 2) for  transactions  in which a subsidiary is deconsolidated or a group of assets is derecognized that occur before the issuance date or effective date of the amendments, only when the transaction has not been reported in  financials. The Company will evaluate the potential impact of adopting this new standard on its financial statements and related disclosures when the acquisition plan is executed in future.

In May 10, 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718) - Scope of Modification. ASU 2017-09 clarifies when to account for a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award as a modification. Under the new guidance, modification accounting is required only if the fair value, the vesting conditions, or the classification of the award (as equity or liability) changes as a result of the change in terms or conditions. Regardless of whether the change to the terms or conditions of the award requires modification accounting, the existing disclosure requirements and other aspects of GAAP associated with modifications, such as earnings per share, continue to apply. The guidance is effective prospectively for all companies for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of adopting this new standard on its financial statements and related disclosures and believes that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

In December 2017, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) released Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (the “Bulletin”), which provides accounting guidance regarding accounting for income taxes for the reporting period that includes the enactment of the Tax Act. The Bulletin provides guidance in those situations where the accounting for certain income tax effects of the Tax Act will be incomplete by the time financial statements are issued for the reporting period that includes the enactment date. For those elements of the Tax Act that cannot be reasonably The SEC has provided in the Bulletin that in situations where the accounting is incomplete for certain effects of the Tax Act, a measurement period which begins in the reporting period that includes the enactment of the Tax Act and ends when the entity has obtained, prepared and analyzed the information is needed in order to complete the accounting requirements. The measurement period shall not exceed one year from enactment. estimated, no effect will be recorded. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of adopting this new standard on its financial statements and related disclosures and believes that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of December 31, 2017, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Material Commitments

There were no material commitments for the year ended December 31, 2017.

Purchase of Furniture and Equipment

There were no purchases of computers and any other equipment for the year ended December 31, 2017.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

We are not subject to risks related to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.  Our functional currency is the United States dollar. We do not transact our business in other currencies. As a result, we are not subject to exposure from movements in foreign currency exchange rates. We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative trading purposes.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Astika Holdings Inc.
 
Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Astika Holdings Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2017, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficits and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Astika Holdings Inc. as of December 31, 2017, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Emphasis of Matter - Going Concern
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, although the Company has limited operations, it has not yet to attain profitability. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plan in regard to these matters is also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
 
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Astika Holdings, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Astika Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2016, and the related statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ deficit and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Astika Holdings, Inc. as of December 31, 2016, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations, has a net capital deficiency and has not yet established an ongoing source of revenue, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding those matters also are described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

ASTIKA HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2017



NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Astika Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”, “we”, “us”, “our”), Astika Holdings, Inc., a Florida corporation, is refocusing and preparing to relaunch the Company through a variety of strategic acquisitions in the textile, service, and industrial sectors to complement and capture the next wave of growth companies from Asia and New Zealand.

On September 26, 2014 the Company dissolved its subsidiary Astika Music Entertainment, Inc.  The dissolution was in response to the change in the nature of business operations.

NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN

The Company’s financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.  The Company has an accumulated deficit and a working capital deficit at December 31, 2017. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenue sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern.  The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.  These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management’s plans focus is on a variety of strategic acquisitions in service, agriculture and industrial companies to compliment and grow Astika Holdings, Inc.’s business.  The Company is positioning to capture the next wave of growth companies from Asia. As the centerpieces for Astika Holdings in Asia, the focus is on rapid economic growth and increased foreign investment sector companies which management believes is poised for accelerated economic growth with national modernization.  Astika’s planned focus is also on adding value through successful project development, efficient operations, and opportunistic acquisitions while maintaining a low risk profile through project diversification, astute financial management and operating in secure jurisdictions. Management’s plan to obtain such resources for the Company include (i) obtaining capital from management and significant stockholders sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses; (ii) obtaining funding from outside sources through the sale of its debt and/or equity securities; and (iii) completing a merger with or acquisition of an existing operating company.  However, management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.  The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 3 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared by the Company.  The Company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.  At December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company has no cash equivalents.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures.  Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
15

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

The Company computes earnings per share in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share” (ASC 260). Under the provisions of ASC 260, basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common and potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period. The Company had net losses as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, as such, the diluted earnings per share excludes all dilutive potential shares because their effect is anti-dilutive.

Stock-Based Compensation

We recognize compensation cost for stock-based awards to employees in accordance with ASC Topic 718, over the requisite service period for each separately vesting tranche, as if multiple awards were granted. Compensation cost is based on grant-date fair value using quoted market prices for our common stock. We recognize compensation cost for stock-based awards to nonemployees in accordance with ASC Topic 505.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes as outlined in ASC 740, “Income Taxes”. Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

Accounting for Derivative Instruments

The Company accounts for derivative instruments in accordance with ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (ASC 815) and all derivative instruments are reflected as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the balance sheet.

The Company uses estimates of fair value to value its derivative instruments. Fair value is defined as the price to sell an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between willing and able market participants. In general, the Company's policy in estimating fair values is to first look at observable market prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets, where available. When these are not available, other inputs are used to model fair value such as prices of similar instruments, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, default rates and credit spreads (including for the Company's liabilities), relying first on observable data from active markets. Additional adjustments may be made for factors including liquidity, credit, bid/offer spreads, etc., depending on current market conditions. Transaction costs are not included in the determination of fair value. When possible, the Company seeks to validate the model's output to market transactions. Depending on the availability of observable inputs and prices, different valuation models could produce materially different fair value estimates. The values presented may not represent future fair values and may not be realizable. The Company categorizes its fair value estimates in accordance with ASC 820 based on the hierarchical framework associated with the three levels of price transparency utilized in measuring financial instruments at fair value as discussed above. Changes in fair value are recognized in the period incurred as either gains or losses.

ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements” (ASC 820) and ASC 825, “Financial Instruments” (ASC 825) , requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. It establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument's categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. It prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 - Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.

16

Level 3 - Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The carrying values of cash, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate fair value. Pursuant to ASC 820 and 825, the fair value of cash is determined based on "Level 1" inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The recorded values of all other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations.

The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy the Company's financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In January 2017, FASB issued ASU 2017-01, "Business Combinations (Topic 805) - Clarifying the Definition of a Business". The Board is issuing the amendments in this ASU to clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses.  The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill, and consolidation. The amendments in this ASU affect all reporting entities that must determine whether they have acquired or sold a business.  Public business entities should apply the amendments in this ASU to annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. However, early application of the amendments in this ASU if 1) for transactions for which the acquisition date occurs before the issuance date or effective date of the amendments, only when the transaction has not been reported in financial statements that have been issued or made available for issuance, or 2) for  transactions  in which a subsidiary is deconsolidated or a group of assets is derecognized that occur before the issuance date or effective date of the amendments, only when the transaction has not been reported in  financials. The Company will evaluate the potential impact of adopting this new standard on its financial statements and related disclosures when the acquisition plan is executed in future.

In May 10, 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718) - Scope of Modification. ASU 2017-09 clarifies when to account for a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award as a modification. Under the new guidance, modification accounting is required only if the fair value, the vesting conditions, or the classification of the award (as equity or liability) changes as a result of the change in terms or conditions. Regardless of whether the change to the terms or conditions of the award requires modification accounting, the existing disclosure requirements and other aspects of GAAP associated with modifications, such as earnings per share, continue to apply. The guidance is effective prospectively for all companies for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of adopting this new standard on its financial statements and related disclosures and believes that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations upon adoption.
17

In December 2017, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) released Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (the “Bulletin”), which provides accounting guidance regarding accounting for income taxes for the reporting period that includes the enactment of the Tax Act. The Bulletin provides guidance in those situations where the accounting for certain income tax effects of the Tax Act will be incomplete by the time financial statements are issued for the reporting period that includes the enactment date. For those elements of the Tax Act that cannot be reasonably   The SEC has provided in the Bulletin that in situations where the accounting is incomplete for certain effects of the Tax Act, a measurement period which begins in the reporting period that includes the enactment of the Tax Act and ends when the entity has obtained, prepared and analyzed the information is needed in order to complete the accounting requirements. The measurement period shall not exceed one year from enactment. estimated, no effect will be recorded. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of adopting this new standard on its financial statements and related disclosures and believes that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

22

Voting Rights

Redemption Rights

There are no redemption rights afforded to the holders of convertible preferred stock. Upon certain change in control events that are outside of the Company’s control, including liquidation, sale or transfer of control of the Company, the convertible preferred stock is contingently redeemable.

The holders of the Series B convertible preferred stock are not entitled to receive dividends and have same liquidation rights that are possessed by the holders of the Company’s common stock.

The Company evaluated whether or not the Series B convertible preferred stock above contained embedded conversion options, which meet the definition of derivatives under ASC Topic 815.  The Company concluded that since the above convertible preferred shares had a fixed conversion rate, the convertible preferred shares were not derivative instruments.
 
The convertible preferred shares were analyzed to determine if the convertible preferred shares have an embedded beneficial conversion feature (BCF). Based on this analysis, the Company concluded that the effective conversion price was greater than the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the issuance dates and therefore no BCF was recorded.

The Company recorded its convertible preferred stock at fair value on the dates of issuance, net of issuance costs. The total fair value of the convertible preferred stock on the date of issuance, net of issuance costs, was $361,809. As of December 31, 2017, total 2,090,000 shares of Series B convertible preferred stock authorized, issued and outstanding.

NOTE 11 – FOREIGN CURRENCY LOSS

The foreign currency loss of $26,085 arises from the transaction of issuing B Series Preferred Stock. The proceeds were collected in RMB and the payout of the proceed were either in RMB or USD.  In both circumstances, the collection and payout were recorded in USD and the conversion of RMB to USD were in accordance with the foreign exchange rates on the proceed collection date and payout date.  Due to the fluctuation of the foreign exchange rates, the foreign exchange rates on the proceed collection date and the payment date were different. The difference caused that the same amount of RMB were converted to less USD on the payment date than on the collection date due to depreciation of the RMB.

NOTE 12 – INCOME TAXES

The Company provides for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes”.   ASC 740 requires the use of an asset and liability approach in accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in effect when these differences are expected to reverse.

ASC 740 requires the reduction of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

The provision for income taxes differs from the amounts which would be provided by applying the statutory federal income tax rate of 34% to the net loss before provision for income taxes for the following reasons:

Item 9. Changes In and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.

None.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.

EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.  Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s principal executive and financial officer and effected by the Company’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:
24


Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;
   

Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and
   
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

The Company’s management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017.  In making this assessment, the Company’s management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission 1992 (“COSO”) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework.  The COSO framework is based upon five integrated components of control: control environment, risk assessment, control activities, information and communications and ongoing monitoring.

Based on an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer has concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act were not effective as of December 31, 2017 (the “Evaluation Date”), to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.   Each of the following is deemed a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting:

Limited or no segregation of duties and lack of multiple levels of supervision and review.
   
No independent directors.
   
Ineffective controls over financial reporting.
   
 
Lack of controls over authorization related party transactions.

Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth in the four items above did not have an effect on our financial results. However, management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee results in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures, which could result in a material misstatement in our financial statements in future periods.

Management's Remediation Initiatives

In an effort to remediate the identified material weaknesses and other deficiencies and enhance our internal controls, we plan to initiate the following series of measures once we have the financial resources to do so:

We will create a position to segregate duties consistent with control objectives and will increase our personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function when funds are available to us. And, we plan to appoint one or more outside directors to an audit committee resulting in a fully functioning audit committee, which will undertake the oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures, such as reviewing and approving estimates and assumptions made by management when funds are available to us.
   
Management believes that the appointment of outside directors to a fully functioning audit committee, would remedy the lack of a functioning audit committee.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report, which were identified in connection with management’s evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered independent public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.

Set forth below is the biographical information about the director and executive officers:

Mark W. Richards - President, Treasurer and Director

Mark W. Richards has served as President, Treasurer and Director of the Company since December, 2013.  Mr. Richards is a New Zealand Registered Chartered Accountant in Public Practice and has practiced in such capacity since July 31, 1991. His history of chartered accountancy begins at Cox Arcus & Co., July 1991 to July 2001, Symmetry Accounting Limited, July 2001 to March 2009, Cleaver Richards Limited, March 2009 to February 2011, and Causeway Accounting Limited, since March 2011.In January 2008, Mr. Richards began acting for JDC Group of Nantong. On March 1, 2011, Mr. Richards formed IQ Acquisition (NY) Ltd., a consulting firm based practice in Auckland, New Zealand, to attend to the strategic management of clients and their businesses and assisting clients from overseas business ventures with the management of both the businesses and taxation structures to meet the requirements within New Zealand, the United States of America, Australia, Hong Kong, China, Thailand, Brunei, and the United Kingdom.  Mr. Richards is a director for over 40 privately held companies and provides management and consulting services to assist with the growth and financial requirements of those companies. In January 2008, Mr. Richards began acting for JDC Group of Nantong an entity responsible for the exportation of commodities for sale in China.  Since November 2006, Mr. Richards has acted as a consultant for Chemsafe Group to assist in the development and strategic roll- out of SCR based products in New Zealand, Australia and Asia.  Mr. Richards is also the director for Tribeca Homes, a property development advisory business in New Zealand.

Mr. Richards has also acted as a consultant assisting companies in oil recovery, transportation, vehicle sales, product design and marketing, and fashion industries.  We believe that Mr. Richard’s qualifications and his extensive business experience provide a unique perspective for our board.

27

Ralph Willmott - Secretary and Director

Mr. Willmott has served as a Director and as Secretary of the Company since December 2013.  Mr. Willmott has a wide range of knowledge having experience with some major corporations earlier in his career, including Raab Karcher, the German manufacturer of construction products, Europe’s leading holiday complexes, Center Parcs and the Italian engineering manufacture Cefla. He is also an experienced businessman, over the past fifteen years, he has gained considerable knowledge of doing business in Asia and has been involved with numerous companies in China covering imports into China and exports from China, including construction products, joinery products, textiles and clothing, foodstuffs, and industrial chemicals.  Having spent considerable periods of time in China, it is considered that the experience and contacts that Mr. Willmott brings with him are of great value to our company.

Term of Office

All of our directors hold office until the next annual meeting of the shareholders or until their successors are elected and qualified. Our officers are appointed by our board of directors and hold office until their earlier death, retirement, resignation or removal.

Family Relationships

There are no family relationships among any of the Company’s directors and officers.

Board Composition and Committees

The Company’s Board of Directors is currently composed of two members, Mark W. Richards and Ralph Willmott.

We do not have a standing nominating, compensation or audit committee.  Rather, our full board of directors performs the functions of these committees. Also, we do not have an “audit committee financial expert” on our board of directors as that term is defined by Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K. We do not believe it is necessary for our board of directors to appoint such committees because the volume of matters that come before our board of directors for consideration permits the directors to give sufficient time and attention to such matters to be involved in all decision making.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

None of our directors, executive officers or control persons has been involved in any of the events prescribed by Item 401(f) of Regulation S-K during the past ten years, including:

1.

Reason for Selection to Board of Directors

Our directors were appointed as a result of their business experience.

Conflicts of Interest

We believe that none of our directors, executive officers, or control persons will be subject to conflicts of interest. No policy has been implemented or will be implemented to address conflicts of interest.

Compensation

We presently do not pay our officers/director any salary or consulting fee. We do not anticipate paying compensation to officers/directors until our Company can generate sufficient cash flows on a regular basis.

We do not have any employment agreements with our officers/director.  We do not maintain key-man life insurance for any our executive officers/directors. We do not have any long-term compensation plans or stock option plans.  
29

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Act

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent (10%) of our shares of common stock, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Officers, directors and greater than ten percent (10%) stockholders are required by regulations promulgated by the SEC to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms that they file.  With reference to transactions during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, to our knowledge, all Section 16(a) forms required to be filed with the SEC were filed.

Item 11. Executive Compensation.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Philosophy and objectives

Since our inception, all compensation decisions have been made by our Board of Directors.  The primary objective of our compensation policies and programs with respect to executive compensation is to serve our shareholders by attracting, retaining and motivating talented and qualified individuals to manage and lead our business. We will focus on providing a competitive compensation package that provides significant short and long-term incentives for the achievement of measurable corporate and individual performance objectives.

Elements of executive compensation

Base salary . We will seek to provide our senior management with a level of base salary in the form of cash compensation appropriate to their roles and responsibilities. Base salaries for our executives will be established based on the executive’s qualifications, experience, scope of responsibilities, future potential and past performance and cash available to pay executive compensation. Base salaries will be reviewed annually and adjusted from time to time to realign salaries with market levels after taking into account an individual's responsibilities, performance and experience. We will consider four factors in determining the base salaries of our named executive officers. These four factors are, in order of significance, (1) creating an incentive to achieve corporate goals, (2) individual performance, (3) cash available to pay compensation and (4) the total compensation each executive officer previously received while employed with us, if any.  We have not paid any executive compensation in the form of base salary to our management during the period January 13, 2011, our inception, through December 31, 2017.

Incentive cash bonuses .  Our practice will be to seek to award incentive cash bonuses to our executive officers based upon their individual performance, as well as our overall business and strategic objectives. In determining the amount of cash bonuses paid to our named executive officers, we will consider the same four factors as in determining their base salaries. We expect that our Board of Directors will adopt formal processes for incentive cash bonuses during the next 24 months and will utilize incentive cash bonuses to reward executives for achieving corporate financial and operational goals and for achieving individual performance objectives. To date, we have not paid any incentive cash bonuses to our management.

Long-term equity compensation .  We believe that successful long-term performance is achieved through an ownership culture that encourages long-term performance by our executive officers through the use of stock and stock-based awards. We intend to establish equity incentive plans to provide our employees, including our executive officers, with incentives to help align those employees’ interests with the interests of our shareholders.
30

We expect that our incentive plans will permit the grant of stock options, restricted shares and other stock awards to our executive officers, employees, consultants and non-employee board members. When we hire executive officers in the future, we expect to grant them stock-based awards that will generally vest over a five-year period. We believe that stock-based awards provide an incentive for these officers to continue their employment with us, provide our executive officers with an opportunity to obtain an ownership interest in our company and encourage them to focus on our long-term profitable growth. We believe that the use of long-term equity compensation will promote our overall executive compensation objectives and expect that equity incentives will be an important source of compensation for our executives.  In determining amounts awarded to our executive officers under our incentive plans, we will consider the same four factors (and use the same method of measurement) as in determining base salary. The third factor (cash available) has an indirect effect when determining long-term equity compensation. Specifically, to the extent that this factor causes us not to pay base salary or cash bonuses, it points toward providing long-term equity compensation.  We have not issued any long-term equity compensation to our management during the period January 13, 2011, our inception, through December 31, 2017.

Other compensation .  When we hire executive officers, our executive officers will be eligible to receive the same benefits, including non-cash group life and health benefits that are available to all employees. We may offer a 401(k) plan to our employees, including our executive officers. This plan will permit employees to make contributions up to a statutory maximum and will permit us to make matching or profit-sharing contributions. To date, we have not offered to our employees any benefit plans, including but not limited a 401(k) plan or made, or committed to make, any matching or profit-sharing contributions under a 401(k) plan.

Policies related to compensation

Guidelines for equity awards .  We have not formalized a policy as to the amount or timing of equity grants to our executive officers. We expect, however, that our board of directors will approve and adopt guidelines for equity awards.  Among other things, we expect that the guidelines will specify procedures for equity awards to be made under various circumstances, address the timing of equity awards in relation to the availability of information about us and provide procedures for grant information to be communicated to and tracked by our finance department.  As of the date of this report, we have not established a finance department.  We anticipate that the guidelines will require that any stock options or stock appreciation rights have an exercise or strike price not less than the fair market value of our common stock on the date of the grant.

Stock ownership guidelines .  As of the date of this report, we have not established stock ownership guidelines for our executive officers or the Board of Directors.

Compliance with Sections 162(m) and 409A of the Internal Revenue Code

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code limits the deductibility of compensation in excess of $1 million paid to certain executive officers, unless such compensation qualifies as performance-based compensation. Among other things, in order to be deemed performance-based compensation for Section 162(m) purposes, the compensation must be based on the achievement of pre-established, objective performance criteria and must be pursuant to a plan that has been approved by our shareholders. At least for the next several years, we expect the cash compensation paid to our executive officers to be below the threshold for non-deductibility provided in Section 162(m), and our equity incentive plans will afford our board of directors with the flexibility to make a variety of types of equity awards to our executive officers, the deductibility of which will not be limited under Section 162(m).  However, our board of directors will fashion our future equity compensation awards.  However, we do not now know whether any such awards will satisfy the requirements for deductibility under Section 162(m).

We also currently intend for our executive compensation program to satisfy the requirements of Internal Revenue Code Section 409A, which addresses the tax treatment of certain nonqualified deferred compensation benefits.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

As of the date of this report, there were no potential payments or benefits payable to our executive officers, upon their termination or in connection with a change in control.
32

Pension Benefits

No named executive officers received or held pension benefits during the period from January 13, 2011 (inception) to December 31, 2017.

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation

No nonqualified deferred compensation was offered or issued to any named executive officer during the period from January 13, 2011 (inception) to December 31, 2017.

Grants of Plan-Based Awards

During the period from January 13, 2011 (inception) to December 31, 2017, we have not granted any plan-based awards to our executive officers.

Outstanding Equity Awards

No unexercised options or warrants were held by any of our named executive officers as of December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.  No equity awards were made during the year ended December 31, 2017 and the year ended December 31, 2016.

Option Exercises and Stock Vested

During the period from January 13, 2011 (inception) to December 31, 2017, our executive officers have neither been granted any options, nor did any unvested stock or options granted to executive officers vest. As of the date of this report, our executive officers do not have any stock options or unvested shares of stock of the Company.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

During the period from January 13, 2011 (inception) to December 31, 2017, we did not have a standing compensation committee. Our Board of Directors was responsible for the functions that would otherwise be handled by the compensation committee. All directors participated in deliberations concerning executive officer compensation, including directors who were also executive officers.

Employment Agreements

We have not entered into any employment agreements with our executive officers. Our decision to enter into an employment agreement, if any, will be made by our compensation committee.

Equity Incentive Plan

We expect to adopt an equity incentive plan. The purposes of the plan are to attract and retain qualified persons upon whom our sustained progress, growth and profitability depend, to motivate these persons to achieve long-term company goals and to more closely align these persons' interests with those of our other shareholders by providing them with a proprietary interest in our growth and performance. Our executive officers, employees, consultants and non-employee directors will be eligible to participate in the plan. We have not determined the amount of shares of our common stock to be reserved for issuance under the proposed equity incentive plan.
Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.

Transactions With Related Persons, Promoters And Certain Control Persons

The Company has entered into transactions with the related party, IQ Acquisition (NY), Ltd, owned by Mr. Richards, the CEO of the Company. IQ Acquisition (NY), Ltd, the major shareholder of the Company, paid expenses on behalf of the Company in the amount of $135,015 during the year ended December 31, 2017, and $23,945 during the year ended December 31, 2016. The balance due to related party as of December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was $37,500 and $45,264, respectively. The advances are payable on demand and carry no interest.

The Company does not own or rent property.  The office space is provided by an officer at no charge.

Director Independence

We do not have a standing nominating, compensation or audit committee. Rather, the board of directors performs the functions of these committees. We do not believe it is necessary for the board of directors to appoint such committees, because the volume of matters that come before the board of directors for consideration is not so substantial that our directors are usually allowed sufficient time and attention to such matters.
