PART I
As used throughout this Annual Report,
the terms “USMART”, “Company”, “we”, “us”, “our” or “Registrant”
refer to USmart Mobile Device Inc. and its subsidiaries.
Overview
USmart Mobile Device
Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on September 17, 2002. The Company has been primarily engaged in
the business of distribution of memory products mainly under “Samsung” brand name which principally comprised Dynamic
Random Access Memory (“DRAM”), Graphic Random Access Memory (“Graphic RAM”) and Flash storage devices in
the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (“Hong Kong”) and People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”
or “China”) markets formerly through its wholly owned subsidiary Atlantic Components Limited (“Atlantic”),
a Hong Kong incorporated company, and through ATMD (Hong Kong) Limited (“ATMD”) after April 1, 2012. The Company, through
its wholly owned subsidiary ACL International Holdings Limited (“ACL Holdings”), owns 30% equity interest in ATMD,
the joint venture with Tomen Devices Corporation (“Tomen”). ATMD offers a broad range of industry-leading Samsung semiconductor
products, and additional components from SAMCO (such as wifi and camera modules) and SMD (smartphone panels). Atlantic integrated
around 90% of its business relating to procurement of semiconductors and electronic parts from Samsung to ATMD. Subsequent to the
start of the operations of ATMD, the Company’s sales, the cost of sales and operating expenses are expected to evolve in
accordance with the transition of the Company’s business as described above. Through the acquisition of Jussey Investments
Limited (“Jussey”) on September 28, 2012, the Company has diversified its product portfolio and customer network, obtained
design and manufacturing capabilities, and tapped into the blooming telecommunication industry with access to the 3G baseband licenses.
On September 30, 2014, the Company disposed all of the equity interest held in ACL International Holdings Limited (“ACL Holdings”)
to an independent third party Targa Electronics Company Limited (“Targa”). On completion of the disposal, USmart no
longer holds any equity interest in ACL Holdings, and the Company will maintain sales and distribution operation of smartphones,
electronic products and components in a moderate size and will also seek for acquisition of other business opportunity.
Background
USmart was primarily
engaged in the business of distribution of memory products mainly under “Samsung” brand name which principally comprised
DRAM, Graphic RAM and Flash for the Hong Kong and PRC markets (“Samsung Business”). After April 1, 2012, the Samsung
Business was transferred to ATMD, a joint venture with Tomen. We indirectly own 30% equity interest in ATMD. On September 27, 2013,
we sold the entire 30% equity interest of ATMD. Through the acquisition of Jussey on September 28, 2012, we have diversified our
product portfolio and customer network, obtained design and manufacturing capabilities, and tapped into the blooming telecommunication
industry with access to the 3G baseband licenses acquired by Jussey’s subsidiaries. On September 30, 2014, the Company
disposed all of the equity interest held in ACL International Holdings Limited (“ACL Holdings”).
After the disposal,
the Company is still engaged in the sales and distribution of smartphones, electronic products and components in Hong Kong Special
Administrative Region (“Hong Kong”) and the People’s Republic of China (“China” or the “PRC”).
ACL International Holdings Limited
ACL Holdings, a holding
company incorporated in Hong Kong, was wholly owned by the Company. ACL Holdings owns 100% equity interest of Atlantic, and 100%
equity interest of Jussey.
Atlantic Components Limited
Atlantic, a company
incorporated in Hong Kong, is indirectly wholly owned by the Company. Atlantic was established in May 1991 by Mr. Chung-Lun Yang
(“Mr. Yang”), the Company’s Chairman, as a regional distributor of memory products of various manufacturers.
In 1993, Samsung Electronics Hong Kong Co., Ltd. (“Samsung”) appointed Atlantic as its authorized distributor and marketer
of Samsung’s memory products in Hong Kong and overseas markets. In 2001, Atlantic established a representative office in
Shenzhen, China, and began concentrating its distribution and marketing efforts in Southern China.
The Company’s
Samsung business was formerly conducted through Atlantic. After April 1, 2012, Atlantic integrated its business relating to procurement
of semiconductors and electronic parts directly from Samsung to the joint venture, ATMD, which was finally sold in November 2013.
The transition of the business integration has been completed by December 31, 2012. During the transitional period, Atlantic extended
its distributor agreement with Samsung to June 30, 2012. After the distributor agreement expired, Atlantic transformed its position
from Samsung memory products distributor to a general memory products distributor, and continues its business by providing various
brands of memory products to its customers.
Aristo Technologies Limited
On March 23, 2010,
the Company concluded that Aristo Technologies Limited (“Aristo”), a related company solely owned by Mr. Yang, was
a variable interest entity under FASB ASC 810-10-25 and was therefore subject to consolidation with the Company beginning fiscal
year 2007 under the guidance applicable to variable interest entities. Atlantic used to sell Samsung memory chips to Aristo and
allows long grace periods for Aristo to repay the open accounts receivable. After the establishment of ATMD, the Company will sell
different brands of memory products to Aristo. Being the Company’s biggest creditor, the Company does not require Aristo
to pledge assets or enter into any agreements to bind Aristo to specific repayment terms. The Company does not experience any bad
debt from Aristo. Hence, the Company does not provide any bad debt provision derived from Aristo. Although, the Company is not
involved in Aristo’s daily operation, it believes that there will not be significant additional risk derived from the trading
relationship and transactions with Aristo. Aristo is engaged in the marketing, selling and servicing of computer products and accessories
including semiconductors, LCD products, mass storage devices, consumer electronics, computer peripherals and electronic components
for different generations of computer related products. In addition to Samsung-branded products, Aristo carries various brands
of products, such as Hynix, Micron, Qimonda, Lexar, Dane-Elec, Elixir, SanDisk and Winbond. Aristo also provides value-added services
to its products and resells it to its customers. Aristo’s 2012 and 2011 sales were around $2 million and $14 million; it
was a distributor that accommodated special requirements for specific customers.
Jussey Investments Limited
Jussey, a holding
company incorporated in British Virgin Islands, which was wholly owned by the Company, owns 100% equity interest in eVision Telecom
Limited (“eVision”), a Hong Kong incorporated company, and 80% equity interest in USmart Electronic Products Limited,
a Hong Kong incorporated company, which owns 100% equity interest of Dongguan Kezheng Electronics Limited, a wholly foreign-owned
enterprise (“WFOE”) organized under the laws of the PRC (USmart Electronic Products Limited and Dongguan Kezheng Electronics

Products
The primary products the Company’s
subsidiaries and joint venture distribute and sell for the year ended December 31, 2014 are described as follows:
Atlantic Components Limited
In the year 2014 Atlantic
will provide various brand memory products to its customers.
The primary products
for Atlantic consist of the followings:
DRAM
Dynamic
Random Access Memory (DRAM) is a type of random-access memory that stores each bit of data in a separate capacitor within an integrated
circuit. The capacitor can be either charged or discharged; these two states are taken to represent the two values of a bit, conventionally
called 0 and 1. Since capacitors leak charge, the information eventually fades unless the capacitor charge is refreshed periodically.
Since the application range for DRAM is very broad, it is classified into three main categories, namely Computing DRAM, Consumer
DRAM and Graphics DRAM.
Computing
DRAM
Computing
DRAM is widely used memory component in servers and personal computers (PC) such as desktops and notebooks.
Consumer
DRAM
Consumer
DRAM is the widely used memory components in consumer products such as Set-Top Boxes (STB), Digital TVs, High Definition TVs (HDTV),
Digital Still Cameras (DSC), Video Cameras, Digital Single-Lens Reflex (DSLR) Cameras, Navigation devices (such as Global Positioning
System (GPS), GLONASS and Galileo), and as well as the automotive industry.
Graphics
DRAM
Graphics
DRAM is a special purpose Double Data Rate (DDR) DRAM that is used in graphics-intensive products which require high-speed 3-dimensional
calculation performance and a large memory size to be used as data storage buffer, such as for DVD and computer game displays.
Currently,
the Computing and Consumer DRAM markets have been dominated by DDR3. The Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory (SDRAM), DDR
and DDR2 are nearly fading out in the market. The Graphics DRAM market has been dominated by GDDR3 and GDDR5. The GDDR 2 is nearly
fading out in the market.
NAND Flash
NAND Flash
memory is a specialized type of memory component used to store user data and program code; it retains this information even when
the power is off. Although NAND Flash is predominantly used in mobile phones and tablets, it is also commonly used in multimedia
digital storage applications for products such as MP3 players, DSC, Digital Voice Recorders, USB Disks, Flash memory cards, solid-state
drives (SSD), etc. Flash cards such as the micro SD cards, SD cards, and CF cards are widely used for digital cameras, mobile phones,
portable game consoles, MP3 players, etc.
LCD Panel
LCD panel
is a major component in visual consumer electronics products such as LCD TVs, tablets, smartphones, notebooks, digital phone frames,
portable game consoles, etc.
USmart Electronic Products Limited,
Dongguan Kezheng Electronics Limited & eVision Telecom Limited
The primary products
for USmart and eVision consist of the followings:
Research &
Development
USmart
primary focus its R&D on providing smartphone solution under the Intel’s 3G baseband license, whereas eVision focus on
providing smartphone solution under the VIA’s 3G baseband license.
Manufacturing Services
OEM (Original
Equipment Manufacturing) services where USmart manufactures products or components to its customers to sell under its customers’
brand name. USmart has provided OEM services for various electronic products such as computer and peripherals, flash storage devices,
smartphones and home electronic products.
ODM (Original
Design Manufacturing) services where USmart designs and manufactures a product which is specified and eventually branded by another
firm for sale. USmart has provided ODM services for various electronic products such as computer and peripherals, flash storage
devices, smartphones and home electronic products.
Industry Background
Memory products are
integral to a wide variety of consumer and industrial applications, including: personal computer systems, workstations and servers,
and handheld devices such as notebooks, netbooks, tablets, smartphones, e-Readers, etc. A market trend of increasingly high-throughput
applications (including data processing applications, mobile applications, digital consumer electronics, graphics applications,
etc) is creating demand for high performance memory products. At present, NAND Flash, DDR2 DRAM, DDR3 DRAM and GDDR5 DRAM are the
dominant memory products used with high-throughput applications and Samsung is the world’s largest developer and manufacturer
of these memory products.
Our Strategy
For the memory products
business, the Company intends to, through operation of USmart and eVision, continue to provide its customers with a reliable source
of memory products. For the R&D and manufacturing businesses, the Company intends to focus on research and development and
manufacturing of smartphone and other mobile device products.
The Company intends
to implement the strategies by:
| · | Leverage network to become a leading smartphone solution provider; |
| · | Capitalize on rapid migration of manufacturers to China and companies seeking to expand their international
market coverage; |
| · | Further consolidate leadership position by carrying best-in-class products from highly reputable
brands and providing superior customer service; |
| · | Maintain optimal product mix with diversified lifecycles to maximize sales as new and groundbreaking
technology is introduced; and |
| · | Provide “Total Memory Solutions” for computer, consumer electronic appliances and communications
devices manufacturers. |
Competitive Strengths
The Company believes
there are several key factors that will continue to differentiate us from its competitors in Hong Kong and PRC:
| · | There are currently five types of 3G wireless standards in the telecommunication industry. Three
of them are adapted in China by the major mobile network carriers, China Unicom, China Telecom and China Mobile. The Company, through
USmart and eVision, has access to two of the three 3G wireless standards, namely, WCDMA and CDMA2000 for its smartphones development. |
| · | eVision has a strong R&D team specializing in the WCDA mobile network, while exclusively appointed
an R&D House specializing in CDMA2000 mobile network that works closely with South China University of Technology. This R&D
House has a R&D team consisting of members with advanced academic qualifications. |
| · | The Company has a very close business relationship with ATMD and Tomen, the majority shareholder
of ATMD. The Company believes this has a competitive advantage over its competitors in Greater China region. As the world’s
largest memory products manufacturer, Samsung’s memory products are competitively priced and have an established reputation
for product quality and brand name recognition in the retail and PC/Server OEM & Consumer Electronic segments. ATMD, as one
of the largest distributors of Samsung’s memory products for Hong Kong and Southern China markets, is expected to be in a
highly competitive position compared to other U.S., European, Japanese and Taiwanese memory products manufacturers and distributors. |
Competition
The memory products
industry in Hong Kong and Southern China markets is very competitive. The Company competes with other memory products traders,
consumer electronics manufacturers, and smartphone research and development solution houses, many of which have substantially greater
financial, technical, marketing, distribution channels and other resources.
Memory products, such
as NAND flash, compete on the basis of product availability, price and customer service. We believe that we compete effectively
with respect to each of these competitive factors. Price competition is significant and is expected to continue. Since we have
been in the industry for over 20 years, we have maintained good connections with other distributors and memory products manufacturers
on sourcing the requested products for our customers. In order to distinct from the other competitors, we have maintained high
quality customer service and employed a team of field application engineers to ensure the products we sourced are authentic and
reduce the risk of malfunctioning on our customer’s products. The Company’s principal competitors also include the
other non-exclusive distributors of Samsung memory products in the Hong Kong and Southern China markets.
The smartphones industry
in the China market is also highly competitive and has been characterized by price competition, manufacturing capacity constraints
and product availability constraints at various times. There are currently five types of 3G wireless standards in the telecommunication
industry. Three of them are adopted in China by the major mobile network carriers, China Unicom, China Telecom and China Mobile.
Currently, the Company has access to two of the three 3G wireless standards, namely, WCDMA and CDMA2000 from Intel and VIA respectively
for its smartphones development. Intel and VIA may at its sole discretion increase the number of licensees in China, which would
result in an increased competition for the Company. The Company’s principal competitors are other smartphone solution providers
such as Cellon, Coolpal, and SIMCOM.
Seasonality
The memory products
industry and smartphones industry are increasingly characterized by seasonality and wide fluctuations in supply and demand. Since
a significant portion of our revenue is from consumer markets, our business may be subject to seasonally lower revenues in certain
quarters of our fiscal year. The industry has also been impacted by significant shifts in consumer demand due to economic downturns
or other factors, which may result in diminished product demand and production over-capacity. In recent periods, weakness in the
general economic condition has had a more significant impact on our results than seasonality, and has made it difficult to assess
the impact of seasonal factors on our business.
Suppliers
In the year 2014,
Tomen was our supplier for Samsung memory products provided to Atlantic, and we also had various other PRC and HK suppliers for
the general memory products and the other electronic parts for the manufacturing of smartphones.
Customers
As of April 15, 2015,
the Company has no customers in Hong Kong and Southern China. In order to control the Company’s credit risks, the Company
does not offer any credit terms to its customers. other than a small number of clients who have long-established business relationships
with the Company.
Government Regulation
As of December 31,
2014, the Company’s business operations were not subject to the regulations of any jurisdiction other than Hong Kong SAR
and the PRC. The Company executes its sales contracts and delivers its products in Hong Kong and PRC for its Chinese customers
and there have been no restrictions imposed on the Company by the PRC authorities with respect to the Company’s pursuit of
business growth and opportunities in China.
Employees
As of December 31,
2014, the Company had a total of 5 full time employees in Hong Kong and PRC, including 2 employees in sales and marketing, 2 employees
in administration and accounts, 1employee in engineering and quality control. None of the Company employees are represented by
labor unions. The Company has never experienced any work stoppage and believes that our employee relations are favorable.
The Company’s
primary hiring sources for its employees include referrals from existing employees, print and internet advertising and direct recruiting.
All of the Company’s employees are highly skilled and educated and subject to rigorous recruiting standards appropriate for
a company involved in the distribution of brand name memory products. The Company attracts talent from numerous sources, including
higher learning institutions, colleges and industry. Competition for these employees is intense. The Company believes its relationship
with its employees to be good. However, the Company’s ability to achieve its financial and operational objectives depends
in large part upon its continuing ability to attract, integrate, retain and motivate highly qualified personnel, and upon the continued
service of its senior management and key personnel, especially Mr. Ben Wong.
We are subject
to a number of risks. Some of these risks are endemic to the high-technology and semiconductor industry and are the same or similar
to those disclosed in our previous SEC filings. This section should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements
and the accompanying notes thereto, and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations” included in this Annual Report. The risks and uncertainties set out below are not the only risks and uncertainties
we face. Our business could be harmed by any of these risks. The trading price of our common stock could decline due to any of
these risks and investors may lose all or part of their investment. The information included in this Annual Report is provided
as of the filing date with the SEC and future events or circumstances could differ significantly from the forward-looking statements
included herein.
Risks Related to Our Business
Our independent auditor has issued a
going concern opinion after auditing our financial statements; our ability to continue is dependent on our ability to raise additional
capital and our operations could be curtailed if we are unable to obtain required additional funding when needed.
As of December 31,
2014, the Company has total current assets of $128 and current liabilities of $448,055. This raises substantial doubt about the
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company is attempting to address its lack of liquidity by raising additional
funds, either in the form of debt or equity or some combination thereof. Any additional equity financing may involve substantial
dilution to our then existing shareholders. We currently have no agreements or arrangements with respect to any such financing
and there can be no assurance that any needed funds will be available to us on acceptable terms or at all. Our failure to raise
additional funds in the future will adversely affect our business operations, and may require us to suspend our operations. After
auditing our financial statements, our independent auditor issued a going concern opinion and our ability to continue is dependent
on our ability to raise additional capital. If we are unable to maintain our current level of working capital, we will likely to
face more difficulty in business operation.
If the growth rate of either memory
products or other components sold or the amount of memory or components used in each application decreases, sales of our products
could decrease.
The Company is dependent
on the computer and consumer electronics market as many of the products that we distribute are used in PCs, smartphones, or other
consumer electronics. DRAMs are the most widely used semiconductor components in PCs. Flash products are mostly used in the consumer
electronics products. Wifi and Camera modules are highly used in smartphones. LCD panels are used in many visual products, such
as smartphones, tablets, and netbooks. If there is a continued reduction in the growth rate of the related consumer electronics
markets, sales of our products built for those markets would decrease, and, as a result, our operations, cash flows and financial
condition could be adversely affected.
The
demand from the end-products that uses our solutions depends on many factors.
The
demand from the end-products that use our solutions depend on many factors such as economic climate, change in technology, competiveness
of competitors, etc. If such demand decreases as a result of negative impact from these factors, it will affect revenue, cash flows
and financial conditions of the Company, and may adversely affect the Company’s share price.
The
solutions provided by us rely on the licenses from Intel Mobile Communications GmbH. and VIA Telecom Co., Ltd, which we could lose.
The
majority of solutions provided by USmart are under licenses from Intel Mobile Communications GmbH (“Intel”). Whareas,
the majority of solutions provided by eVision are under licenses from VIA Telecom Co. (“VIA”) Ltd. If such licenses
are revoked or expire without renewal, USmart and eVision will not be able to provide those solutions to its customers and may
result in loss of revenue and profits which will have a negative impact to its financial results and positions.
Competitive
level is uncontrollable.
Business
in telecommunication industry highly relies on the baseband license acquired from Intel. The current CDMA license providers are
Intel, VIA and T3G Technology Co., Ltd. in China. USmart cannot control how many licensees the license providers authorized. If
the number of licensees increases, it may increases the competition and result in loss of revenue and profits which may have a
negative impact to its financial results and positions.
Our research and development may be
costly and/or untimely, and there are no assurances that our research and development will either be successful or completed within
the anticipated timeframe, if at all.
Our recent acquired
business relies on research and development activities. The research and development of new products play an important role for
our company. Development of new products requires significant research and development. If we are unable to perform research and
development successfully, our business and results of operations could be negatively impacted.
The research and development
of new products is costly and time consuming, and there are no assurances that our research and development of new products will
either be successful or completed within the anticipated time frame, if at all. There are also no assurances that if the product
is developed, that it will lead to actual commercialization and sales.
We are heavily dependent upon the electronics
industry, and excess capacity or decreased demand for products produced by this industry could result in increased price competition
as well as a decrease in our gross margins and unit volume sales.
Our business is heavily
dependent on the electronics industry. The majority of our revenue is generated from the networking, high-end computing and computer
peripherals segments of the electronics industry, which are characterized by intense competition, relatively short product life-cycles
and significant fluctuations in product demand. Furthermore, these segments are subject to economic cycles, which have occurred
in the past and are likely to occur in the future. A recession or any other event leading to excess capacity or a downturn in these
segments of the electronics industry could result in intensified price competition, a decrease in our gross margins and unit volume
sales and materially affect our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
The memory product industry is highly
competitive.
The Company faces
intense competition from a number of companies, some of which are large corporations or conglomerates, that may have greater resources
to withstand downturns in the semiconductor memory market, invest in technology and capitalize on growth opportunities. To the
extent Samsung memory products become less competitive, our ability to effectively compete against distributors of other memory
products will diminish.
We
face competition from other telecommunication and computer manufacturers.
We
face competition from other telecom and computer manufacturers in China, particularly in the telecommunication sector. There are
three major telecommunication companies in China and they can also provide R&D, manufacturing and marketing services to smartphone
and other accessories that we feature. This competition may affect our ability to attract and retain customers and buyers and may
reduce the prices we are able to charge. An inability to compete effectively could adversely affect our business, financial condition
and results of operations.
We
are operating in an industry with very short life cycle.
The
mobile devices industry in which the newly acquired business is operating has a very short product life cycle. Inability to respond
to an end of a product life cycle may result in the loss of revenue and profits which may have a negative impact to its financial
results and positions.
We
are operating in an industry with high demand in product features upgrade and fast generation change.
The
telecommunication industry in which our recently acquired business is operating has high demand in product features upgrade and
fast generation change. Inability to respond to the features upgrade and generation change may result in the loss of revenue and
profits which may have a negative impact to its financial results and positions.
If
our current product strategy and operating system strategy are not successful, our telecommunication business could be negatively
impacted.
Our
current strategy is to concentrate our mobile solution on smartphones and to use third-party and/or open-source operating systems
and associated application ecosystems, predominantly the Google Android operating system (a royalty-free open-source platform).
As a result, we are dependent on third-parties’ continued development of operating systems, software application ecosystem
infrastructures and such third-parties’ approval of our implementations of their operating system and associated applications.
If we had to change our strategy, our financial results could be negatively impacted because a resulting shift away from using
Android and the associated applications ecosystem could be costly and difficult. A strategy shift could increase the burden of
development to the Company and potentially create a gap in our portfolio for a period of time, which could competitively disadvantage
the Company.
We
are at risk if Android-based smartphones do not remain competitive in the marketplace. Even if Android-based smartphones remain
competitive, the Android operating system is an open-source platform and many other companies sell competing Android-based smartphones
solutions. If the Android-based smartphones solutions of our competitors are more successful than ours, our financial results could
be negatively impacted. It is also critical to the success of the Android operating system that third-party developers continue
to develop and offer applications for this operating system that are competitive with applications developed for other operating
systems. From an overall risk perspective, the industry is currently engaged in an extremely competitive phase with respect to
operating system platforms, applications and software generally. If Android does not continue to gain operator and/or developer
adoption, or any updated versions or new releases of Google’s Android operating system or applications are not made available
to us in a timely fashion, the Company could be competitively disadvantaged and our financial results could be negatively impacted.
We
may not be able to adequately protect our brand name and intellectual property rights that we developed.
Our
brand names and intellectual property rights are important to our business and we rely on them to conduct our business operations.
Unauthorized use of our brand names and intellectual property rights by third parties may materially adversely affect our business
and reputation. We rely on trademark and copyright laws to protect our intellectual property rights. Despite our precautions, it
may be possible for third parties to obtain and use our brand names or intellectual property rights without authorization.
We
cannot be assured that third parties will not infringe or misappropriate our brand names or intellectual property rights. We may,
at times, have to incur significant legal costs and spend time in defending our trademarks and copyrights. Any defense efforts,
whether successful or not, would divert both time and resources from the operation and growth of our business.
Current economic and political conditions
may harm our business.
Global economic conditions
and the effects of military or terrorist actions may cause significant disruptions to worldwide commerce. If these disruptions
result in delays or cancellations of customer orders, a decrease in corporate spending on information technology or our inability
to effectively market, manufacture or ship our products, our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition could be
adversely affected. There is a risk that the events in Japan could negatively affected semiconductor markets, and may continue
to have severe and unpredictable effects on the price of certain raw materials in the future. In addition, our ability to raise
capital for working capital purposes and ongoing operations is dependent upon ready access to capital markets. During times of
adverse global economic and political conditions, accessibility to capital markets could decrease. If we are unable to access the
capital markets over an extended period of time, we may be unable to fund operations, which could materially adversely affect our
results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
We believe that we will require additional
equity financing to reduce our long-term debts and implement our business plan.
We anticipate
that we will require additional equity financing in order to reduce our long-term debts and implement our business plan of increasing
sales in the Southern China markets. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain the necessary additional capital
on a timely basis or on terms acceptable to us. If we obtain such financing, the holders of our Common Stock may experience substantial
dilution.
To
finance our new business, debt or equity financing may be required and may adversely impact our share price.
In
order to expand the business of USmart and eVision as well as the Company, the Company may need to raise fund in form of equity
and/or debt to incur substantial additional indebtedness to finance such expansion. If we or our subsidiaries incur additional
debt, the risks that we face as a result of an increased indebtedness could have important consequences to you. For example, it
could:
| • | limit our ability to satisfy our obligations under our borrowings; |
| • | increase our vulnerability to adverse general economic and industry conditions; |
| • | require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to servicing and
repaying our indebtedness, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures and
other general corporate purposes; |
| • | limit our flexibility in planning for or reacting to changes in our businesses and the industry
in which we operate; |
| • | place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt; |
| • | limit, along with the restrictive covenants of our indebtedness, among other things, our ability
to borrow additional funds or make guarantees; and |
| • | increase the cost of additional financing. |
Our
ability to generate sufficient cash to satisfy our outstanding and future debt obligations will depend upon our future operating
performance, which will be affected by prevailing economic conditions and financial, business and other factors, many of which
are beyond our control. We anticipate that our operating cash flow will be sufficient to meet our anticipated operating expenses
and to service our debt obligations as they become due. However, we may not always be able to generate sufficient cash flow for
these purposes. If we are unable to service our indebtedness, we will be forced to adopt an alternative strategy that may include
actions such as reducing or delaying capital expenditures, selling assets, restructuring or refinancing our indebtedness or seeking
equity capital. These strategies may not be instituted on satisfactory terms, if at all. As a result, the share price may be adversely
affected due to increase in gearing or shareholder base.
Risks
Relating to the Recent Acquisition
The
acquisition may not result in the increase of revenue and profits of the Company.
While
the management expects that the acquisition of Jussey will enable the Company to tap into and expand its operations in mobile devices
and telecommunication business segments through USmart and eVision, USmart and eVision may not be able to contribute an increase
in revenue and profit to the results of the Company as other factors such as changes in future economic climate, intensity of competition
from competitors, ability to adapt due to change in technology, number of orders to be received may not be correctly anticipated,
which will have a significant impact on the results of USmart and eVision that could generate.
Successful
operation of the acquired business is not assured.
Despite
that USmart and eVision have orders / projects on hand and pipeline of orders are anticipated, the Company may not be able to expand
the business of USmart or eVision beyond these orders / projects and may suffer losses after these orders have been fulfilled as
USmart and eVision have operated at a loss making in the past, which may have a significant negative impact to the Company financial
position.
Successful
integration of the USmart and eVision businesses with our other businesses is not assured.
While
management expects that they will be able to integrate the business of USmart and eVision into the Company’s existing trading
business within the expected timeframe which would enables the Company to operate more effectively and efficiently and to create
synergy hence lower costs of operations, such integration may fail or fail to achieve the desired level of synergy and may increase
the overall administrative expenses at a ratio higher than the proportionate revenue and profit contribution from USmart and eVision,
and may have significant negative impact to the Company.
USmart
and eVision may not be able to distribute dividends to the Company.
USmart
and eVision are Hong Kong incorporated company and may distribute retained profits to its shareholders. Since USmart and eVision
have been operating at a loss in the past and does not have retained profits available for distribution to the Company, it may
not be able to generate enough profits to recover losses from prior years and therefore may not be able to distribute dividends
to the Company for further distributions to its shareholders.
A
lack of expertise over USmart and eVision financial reporting in U.S. GAAP could result in an inability to accurately report our
financial results, which may lead to loss of investor confidence in our financial statements and may adversely affect the Company’s
share price.
While
the management will pursue to ensure that the financial results of USmart and eVision will be reported accurately under U.S. GAAP,
the financial results of USmart and eVision may be inaccurately reported under U.S. GAAP due to lack of U.S. GAAP expertise from
USmart and eVision and may adversely affect the Company’s share price, loss of investor confidence and regulatory penalty.
Our
ability to execute on our business strategy and growth will depend in part on the success of the telecommunication industry.
The
acquisition is part of the Company’s business strategy to grow and expand through access to the telecommunication industry.
As a result, the success of USmart and eVision businesses will have a material impact on the overall success of the Company.
Risks Associated With Doing Business
in China
There are substantial
risks associated with doing business in China, some of which are addressed in the following risk factors.
Economic, political and social conditions,
as well as government policies in China could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial
condition.
Part of our business
is conducted in, and part of our revenues is derived from, the PRC.
The economy of the
PRC differs from the economies of most developed countries in many respects, including, but not limited to structure, governmental
involvement, level of development, growth rate, capital re-investment, allocation of resources, control of foreign currency and
rate of inflation. The economy of the PRC has been transitioning from a planned economy to a market-oriented economy. Although
in recent years the PRC government has implemented measures emphasizing the utilization of market forces for economic reform, a
substantial portion of productive assets in the PRC is still owned by the PRC government. In addition, the PRC government continues
to play a significant role in regulating industries by imposing industrial policies. It also exercises significant control over
the PRC’s economic growth through allocating resources, controlling payment of foreign currency-denominated obligations,
setting monetary policy and providing preferential treatment to particular industries or companies.
Policies and other
measures taken by the PRC government to regulate the economy could have a significant negative impact on economic conditions in
the PRC, with a resulting negative impact on our business. For example, our business, results of operations and financial condition
may be materially and adversely affected by:
| • | new laws and regulations and the interpretations of those laws and regulations; |
| • | the introduction of measures to control inflation or stimulate growth; |
| • | changes in the rate or method of taxation; or |
| • | the imposition of additional restrictions on currency conversions and remittances abroad. |
Macroeconomic measures taken by the
PRC government to manage economic growth could have adverse economic consequences.
In response to concerns
about the PRC’s high growth rate in industrial production, bank credit, fixed investment and money supply, the PRC government
has periodically taken measures to slow economic growth to a more manageable level. Among the measures that the PRC government
has taken are restrictions on bank loans in certain sectors. These measures have contributed to a modest slowdown in economic growth
in the PRC and a reduction in demand for consumer goods and real property. These measures and any additional measures, including
an increase in interest rates, could contribute to a further slowdown in the PRC economy, which could result in a decline in demand
for industrial materials and lower revenues for us.
In particular, the
State Council has recently announced further macroeconomic measures to control perceived overinvestment in the real property market.
The detailed regulations issued by central government agencies to implement these measures include, without limitation, restrictions
on foreign investment and strict enforcement of tax collection. We can give you no assurance that these measures and regulations
will not adversely affect our business.
The PRC legal system has inherent uncertainties
that could negatively impact our business.
Our business is operated
through, and our revenues are generated by, our operating subsidiaries in the PRC. Substantially all of our assets are located
in the PRC. The PRC legal system is based on written statutes. Prior court decisions may be cited for reference but have limited
precedential value. Since 1979, the PRC government has promulgated laws and regulations dealing with economic matters such as foreign
investment, corporate organization and governance, commerce, taxation and trade. However, because these laws and regulations are
relatively new, and because of the limited volume of published cases and their nonbinding nature, interpretation and enforcement
of these laws and regulations involve uncertainties. In addition, as the legal system in China develops, changes in such laws and
regulations, their interpretation or their enforcement may have a negative effect on our business, financial condition and results
of operations.
It may be difficult to affect service
of process upon us or our directors or to enforce any judgments obtained from non-PRC courts.
Our operations are
conducted and a substantial part of our assets are located within China. Our key management reside in Hong Kong and China, where
substantially all of their assets are located. Investors may experience difficulties in effecting service of process upon us, our
directors or our senior management as it may not be possible to affect such service of process outside China. In addition, our
PRC counsel has advised us that China does not have treaties with the United States and many other countries providing for reciprocal
recognition and enforcement of court judgments. Therefore, recognition and enforcement in China of judgments of a court in the
United States or certain other jurisdictions may be difficult or impossible.
Restrictions on foreign currency exchange
may limit our ability to obtain and remit foreign currency or to utilize our revenues effectively.
We receive substantially
part of our revenues in Renminbi through our ownership and operation of USmart. As a result, any restriction on currency exchange
may limit our ability to use revenues generated in Renminbi to service and repay our indebtedness. Our ability to satisfy our debt
obligations depends upon the ability of our subsidiaries incorporated in the PRC to obtain and remit sufficient foreign currency.
Our subsidiaries incorporated in the PRC must present certain documents to the designated foreign exchange bank before they can
obtain and remit foreign currency out of the PRC (including, in the case of dividends, evidence that the relevant PRC taxes have
been paid and, in the case of shareholder loans, evidence of the registration of the loan with the State Administration for Foreign
Exchange). There can be no assurance that our subsidiaries incorporated in the PRC will not encounter difficulty in the future
when undertaking these activities. If our subsidiaries in the PRC are unable to remit dividends to us, we could be unable to make
payment of interest on and principal of our indebtedness.
Currency fluctuations and restrictions
on currency exchange may adversely affect our business, including limiting our ability to convert Chinese Renminbi into foreign
currencies and, if Chinese Renminbi were to decline in value, reducing our revenue in US Dollar terms.
Our reporting currency
is the US Dollar and our operations in China use their local currency as their functional currencies. Part of our revenue
and expenses in China are in the Chinese currency, the Renminbi. We are subject to the effects of exchange rate fluctuations
with respect to any of these currencies. For example, the value of the Renminbi depends to a large extent on Chinese government
policies and China’s domestic and international economic and political developments, as well as supply and demand in the
local market. Since 1994, the official exchange rate for the conversion of the Renminbi to the US Dollar had generally been
stable and the Renminbi had appreciated slightly against the US Dollar. In July 2005, the Chinese government changed
its policy of pegging the value of the Renminbi to the US Dollar. Under this policy, which was halted in 2008 due to
the worldwide financial crisis, the Renminbi was permitted to fluctuate within a narrow and managed band against a basket of certain
foreign currencies. In June 2010, the Chinese government announced its intention to again allow the Renminbi to fluctuate
within the 2005 parameters. It is possible that the Chinese government could adopt an even more flexible currency policy,
which could result in more significant fluctuation of Renminbi against the US Dollar, or it could adopt a more restrictive policy. We
can offer no assurance that the Renminbi will be stable against the US Dollar or any other foreign currency.
Our financial statements
are translated into US Dollars at the average exchange rates in each applicable period. To the extent the US Dollar
strengthens against foreign currencies, the translation of these foreign currencies denominated transactions results in reduced
revenue, operating expenses and net income for our international operations. Similarly, to the extent the US Dollar
weakens against foreign currencies, the translation of these foreign currency denominated transactions results in increased revenue,
operating expenses and net income for our international operations. We are also exposed to foreign exchange rate fluctuations
as we convert the financial statements of our foreign consolidated subsidiaries into US Dollars in consolidation. If
there is a change in foreign currency exchange rates, the conversion of the foreign consolidated subsidiaries’ financial
statements into US Dollars will lead to a translation gain or loss which is recorded as a component of other comprehensive income. In
addition, we have certain assets and liabilities that are denominated in currencies other than the relevant entity’s functional
currency. Changes in the functional currency value of these assets and liabilities create fluctuations that will lead
to a transaction gain or loss. We have not entered into agreements or purchased instruments to hedge our exchange rate
risks, although we may do so in the future. The availability and effectiveness of any hedging transaction may be limited
and we may not be able to hedge our exchange rate risks.
The cyclical nature of the telecommunication
and computer industry could adversely affect our results of operation.
Our results of operations
are and will continue to be affected by the cyclical nature of the telecommunication and computer industry in the PRC. Our products
pricing, inventory and accounts receivable are affected by, among other factors, supply and demand of comparable products, interest
rates, inflation, the rate of economic growth, tax laws and political and economic developments in the PRC. We cannot assure you
that the products can be sold. In addition, additional supply of new products are scheduled for completion over the next few months
and years in the PRC. This additional supply could also adversely affect trade products sales as well as the inventory and credit
policies.
Risks Related to Our Common Stock
Failure to maintain effective internal
control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002 may result in actions filed against
us by regulatory agencies or in a reduction in the price of our common stock.
We are required to
maintain effective internal control over financial reporting under the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002 and related regulations. Any
material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting that needs to be addressed, or disclosure of a material weakness
in management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting, may reduce the price of our common shares because
investors may lose confidence in our financial reporting. Our failure to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting
could also lead to actions being filed against us by regulatory agencies. We identified material weaknesses in internal control
over financial reporting as more fully discussed in Controls and Procedures at Item 9A of our Annual Report as of December 31,
2014. Currently, we have plans for certain remediation actions, but they will take time to implement because of their cost. There
can be no assurance when remediation will be completed, if at all. Therefore, future reports may have statements indicating that
our controls and procedures are not effective. We cannot assure you that even if we remediate our internal control over financial
reporting relating to the identified material weaknesses that it will establish the effectiveness of our internal control over
financial reporting or that we will not be subject to material weaknesses in the future.
Our major stockholder controls our business,
and could delay, deter or prevent a change of control or other business combination.
One shareholder, Mr.
Yang, Chairman of the Board of Directors, holds approximately 67.1% of our outstanding Common Stock. By virtue of his stock ownership,
Mr. Yang will control all matters submitted to our board and our stockholders, including the election of directors, and will be
able to exercise control over our business, policies and affairs. Since he has substantial voting power, he could cause us to take
actions that we would not otherwise consider, or could delay, deter or prevent a change of control or other business combination
that might otherwise be beneficial to our stockholders.
Our stock price has been volatile and
may fluctuate in the future.
There has been significant
volatility in the market prices of publicly traded shares in computer related companies, including ours. From September 30, 2003,
the effective date of the reverse-acquisition of Atlantic, to December 31, 2014, the closing price of our Common Stock fluctuated
from a per share high of $3.00 to a low of $0.01 per share. The share price of our Common Stock may not remain at or exceed current
levels. The market price for our Common Stock, and for the stock of electronic companies generally, has been highly volatile. The
market price of our Common Stock may be affected by: (1) incidental level of demand and supply of the stock; (2) daily trading
volume of the stock; (3) number of public stockholders in our stock; (4) fundamental results announced by Usmart; and (5) any other
unpredictable and uncontrollable factors.
If additional authorized shares of our
Common Stock available for issuance or shares eligible for future sale were introduced into the market, it could hurt our stock
price.
We are authorized
to issue 50,000,000 shares of Common Stock. As of April 15, 2015, there were 39,684,495 shares of our Common Stock issued and outstanding.
Currently, outstanding
shares of Common Stock are eligible for resale. We are unable to estimate the amount, timing or nature of future sales of outstanding
Common Stock. Sales of substantial amounts of the Common Stock in the public market by these holders or perceptions that such sales
may take place may lower the Common Stock’s market price.
If penny stock regulations impose restrictions
on the marketability of our Common Stock, the ability of our stockholders to sell shares of our stock could be impaired.
The SEC has adopted
regulations that generally define a “penny stock” to be an equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00
per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share subject to certain exceptions. Exceptions include equity securities
issued by an issuer that has (i) net tangible assets of at least $2,000,000, if such issuer has been in continuous operation for
more than three years, or (ii) net tangible assets of at least $5,000,000, if such issuer has been in continuous operation for
less than three years, or (iii) average revenue of at least $6,000,000 for the preceding three years. Unless an exception is available,
the regulations require that prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, a risk of disclosure schedule must be delivered
to the buyer explaining the penny stock market and its risks. Our Common Stock is currently trading at under $5.00 per share. Although
we currently fall under one of the exceptions, if at a later time we fail to meet one of the exceptions, our Common Stock will
be considered a penny stock. As such the market liquidity for the Common Stock will be limited to the ability of broker-dealers
to sell it in compliance with the above-mentioned disclosure requirements.
You should be aware
that, according to the SEC, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns
include:
| • | Control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers; |
| • | “Boiler room” practices involving high-pressure sales tactics; |
| • | Manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales; |
| • | The release of misleading information; |
| • | Excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and |
| • | Dumping of securities by broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level,
for which hurts the price of the stock and causes investors to suffer from loss. |
We are aware of the
abuses that have occurred in the penny stock market. Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the
market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, we will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent
such abuses with respect to our Common Stock.
Section 203 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law may deter a third party from acquiring us.
Section 203 of the
Delaware General Corporation Law prohibits a merger with a 15% shareholder within three years of the date such shareholder acquired
15%, unless the merger meets one of several exceptions. The exceptions include, for example, approval by two-thirds of the shareholders
(not counting the 15% shareholder), or approval by the Board prior to the 15% shareholder acquiring its 15% ownership. This provision
makes it difficult for a potential acquirer to force a merger with or takeover of the Company, and could thus limit the price that
certain investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our Common Stock.

Equity Compensation Plan Information
2006 STOCK OPTION PLAN
On March
31, 2006, the Board of Directors adopted the 2006 Equity Incentive Stock Plan (the “Plan”) and the majority stockholder
approved the Plan by written consent. The purpose of the Plan is to provide additional incentive to employees, directors and consultants
and to promote the success of the Company’s business. The Plan permits the Company to grant both incentive stock options
(“Incentive Stock Options” or “ISOs”) within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code (the
“Code”), and other options which do not qualify as Incentive Stock Options (the “Non- Qualified Options”)
and stock awards.
Unless
earlier terminated by the Board of Directors, the Plan (but not outstanding options) terminates on March 31, 2016, after which
no further awards may be granted under the Plan. The Plan is administered by the full Board of Directors or, at the Board of Director’s
discretion, by a committee of the Board of Directors consisting of at least two persons who are “disinterested persons”
defined under Rule 16b-2(c)(ii) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Committee”).
Recipients
of options under the Plan (“Optionees”) are selected by the Board of Directors or the Committee. The Board of Directors
or Committee determines the terms of each option grant, including (1) the purchase price of shares subject to options, (2) the
dates on which options become exercisable and (3) the expiration date of each option (which may not exceed ten years from the date
of grant). The minimum per share purchase price of options granted under the Plan for Incentive Stock Options and Non-Qualified
Options is the fair market value (as defined in the Plan) on the date the option is granted.
Optionees
will have no voting, dividend or other rights as stockholders with respect to shares of Common Stock covered by options prior to
becoming the holders of record of such shares. The purchase price upon the exercise of options may be paid in cash, by certified
bank or cashier’s check, by tendering stock held by the Optionee, as well as by cashless exercise either through the surrender
of other shares subject to the option or through a broker. The total number of shares of Common Stock available under the Plan,
and the number of shares and per share exercise price under outstanding options will be appropriately adjusted in the event of
any stock dividend, reorganization, merger or recapitalization or similar corporate event.
The Board
of Directors may at any time terminate the Plan or from time to time make such modifications or amendments to the Plan as it may
deem advisable and the Board of Directors or Committee may adjust, reduce, cancel and re-grant an unexercised option if the fair
market value declines below the exercise price except as may be required by any national stock exchange or national market association
on which the Common Stock is then listed. In no event may the Board of Directors, without the approval of stockholders, amend the
Plan if required by any federal, state, local or foreign laws or regulations or any stock exchange or quotation system on which
the Common Stock is listed or quoted and the applicable laws of any other country or jurisdiction where options or stock purchase
rights are granted under the Plan.
Subject
to limitations set forth in the Plan, the terms of option agreements will be determined by the Board of Directors or Committee,
and need not be uniform among Optionees.
As of December
31, 2014, there were no options outstanding under the Plan.

This Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and other portions of this report contain forward-looking
information that involve risks and uncertainties. The Company’s actual results could differ materially from those anticipated
by the forward-looking information. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to, availability and cost

Overview
Corporate Background
USmart
was primarily engaged in the business of distribution of memory products mainly under “Samsung” brand name which principally
comprised DRAM, Graphic RAM and Flash for the Hong Kong and PRC markets (“Samsung Business”). After April 1, 2012,
the Samsung Business was transferred to ATMD, a joint venture with Tomen. We indirectly own 30% equity interest in ATMD. On September
27, 2013, we sold the entire 30% equity interest of ATMD. Through the acquisition of Jussey on September 28, 2012, we have diversified
our product portfolio and customer network, obtained design and manufacturing capabilities, and tapped into the blooming telecommunication
industry with access to the 3G baseband licenses acquired by Jussey’s subsidiaries. On September 30, 2014, the Company
disposed all of the equity interest held in ACL International Holdings Limited (“ACL Holdings”).
After the
disposal, the Company is still engaged in the sales and distribution of smartphones, electronic products and components in Hong
Kong Special Administrative Region (“Hong Kong”) and the People’s Republic of China (“China” or the
“PRC”).
Executive Summary
In 2014, our major sales came from selling
memory products, and manufacturing and selling smartphone products.

Comparison of the Years Ended December 31, 2014 and
2013
Net Sales
Net sales consist
of product sales, net of returns and allowances and any recoveries from sales of previously written down inventories. Net sales
are recognized upon the transfer of legal title of the products to the customers. The quantity of products the Company sells fluctuates
with changes in demand from its customers. Net sales for the fiscal year 2014 were $1,013,241, down $71,162,048 or 98.6% from $72,175,289
in the 2013 fiscal year. This reduction was due to the Company disposed all of the equity interest held in ACL Holdings on September
30, 2014.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales is comprised
of costs of goods purchased from our supplier, costs of manufacturing, assembly and testing of our products, and associated costs
related to manufacturing support and quality assurance personnel, as well as provision for excess and obsolete inventories. The
Company’s cost of sales, as a percentage of net sales, amounted to approximately 109.9% for the year ended December 31, 2014
and approximately 99.7% for the year ended December 31, 2013. Cost of sales decreased by $70,836,406 or 98.5%, from $71,949,939
for the year ended December 31, 2013 to $1,113,533 for the year ended December 31, 2014. The decrease was mainly due to the Company
disposed all of the equity interest held in ACL Holdings on September 30, 2014.
Gross Profit
Gross profit is net
sales less cost of sales and is affected by a number of factors, including competitive pricing, product mix, foundry pricing, cost
of test and assembly services, manufacturing yields and provision for excess and obsolete inventories. The Company’s gross
loss for the fiscal year 2014 was $100,292, a decrease of $325,642 or 144.5%, from $225,350 in the fiscal year 2013. Gross profit
margin for fiscal year 2014 decreased to -9.90% from 0.31% in fiscal year 2013. These results were due to the reason mentioned
above.
Sales and Marketing Expenses
Sales and marketing
expenses consists primarily of associated costs for sales and marketing, commissions, promotional activities, freight shipments,
and marine insurance. Sales and marketing expenses decreased by $35,649, or 23.1%, from $154,014 for the year ended December 31,
2013 to $118,365 for the year ended December 31, 2014. These results were due to the same reason mentioned above.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative
expenses consists primarily of compensation (including stock-based compensation) and associated costs for administrative personnel,
professional fees including audit and other business registration fee, and director and officer insurance. General and administrative
expenses decreased by $4,458,449 or 90.0% from $4,906,299 for the year ended December 31, 2013 to $447,850 for the year ended December
31, 2014. The decrease was mainly due to the Company disposed all of the equity interest held in ACL Holdings on September 30,
2014.
Income (Loss) from Operations
Loss from operations
was $666,507 for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to loss of $4,834,963 for the year ended December 31, 2013, a decrease
of $4.2 million. The decrease was mainly due to the Company disposed all of the equity interest held in ACL Holdings on September
30, 2014.
Other Expenses (Income)
Other expenses (income)
consists primarily of rental income, management and service income, interest income, interest expenses, and profits/(loss) on disposals
of assets and investments. Other income increased by $21,660,645 or 242.4% from a net other expense of $8,934,360 for the year
ended December 31, 2013 to a net other income of $12,726,285 for the year ended December 31, 2014. The decrease was mainly due
to the income derived from the Company disposed all of the equity interest held in ACL Holdings on September 30, 2014.
Interest Expense
Interest
expense, including finance charges, relates primarily to borrowings from our bank and a third party. Interest expense decreased
$1,041,095 or 100%, from interest expense of $1,041,095 in the year ended December 31, 2013, to $Nil in the year ended December
31, 2014. These changes were mainly due to the Company disposed all of the equity interest, including the loans liabilities, held
in ACL Holdings on September 30, 2014.
Income Taxes Provision
The Company is subject
to income tax in the U.S., Hong Kong and PRC. Income tax provision for the year ended December 31, 2014 was $Nil, a decrease of
$21,887 or100.0% from $21,887 for the year ended December 31, 2013. This decrease was an adjustment on the prior year estimated
Hong Kong corporate income taxes payable by Atlantic. The effective income tax rate is 0% for 2014 as compared to 0.03% for 2013.
The Company did not have any interest or penalty not to recognize in the income statements for the year ended December 31, 2014
and December 31, 2013 or the balance sheet, as of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.
Net (loss) Income
As a result of the
foregoing, the Company recorded a consolidated net income of $12,059,778 for the fiscal year 2014, up $25,850,988 or 187.4%, from
a net loss of $13,791,210 in the fiscal year 2013. This was resulted by the disposal of the equity interest held in ACL Holdings
on September 30, 2014.
Critical Accounting Policies
The U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) recently issued Financial Reporting Release No. 60, “Cautionary Advice
Regarding Disclosure About Critical Accounting Policies” (“FRR 60”), suggesting companies provide additional
disclosure and commentary on their most critical accounting policies. In FRR 60, the SEC defined the most critical accounting policies
as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and operating results, and require
management to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that
are inherently uncertain. Based on this definition, our most critical accounting policies include: inventory valuation, which affects
cost of sales and gross margin; policies for revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, and stock-based compensation.
The methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying these most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on our
results we report in our consolidated financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
The Company derives
revenues from resale of computer memory products, sale of self-manufacture products, and sale of research and development products.
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the ASC 605 “Revenue Recognition”. Under ASC 605, revenue is recognized
when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, delivery has occurred or services are rendered, the sales price is determinable,
and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue typically is recognized at time of shipment. Sales are recorded net of discounts,
rebates, and returns, which historically were not material
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
We account for impairment
of property, plant and equipment in accordance with FASB ASC 360. The carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired
when the anticipated undiscounted cash flow from such asset is separately identifiable and is less than its carrying value. In
that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair market value of the long-lived
asset. Fair market value is determined primarily using the anticipated cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk
involved. Losses on long-lived assets to be disposed of are determined in a similar manner, except that fair market values are
reduced for the cost to dispose. During the reporting years, there was no impairment loss incurred. Competitive pricing pressure
and changes in interest rates, could materially and adversely affect our estimates of future net cash flows to be generated by
our long-lived assets.
Inventory Valuation
Our policy is to value
inventories at the lower of cost or market on a part-by-part basis. In addition, we write down unproven, excess and obsolete inventories
to net realizable value. This policy requires us to make a number of estimates and assumptions including market and economic conditions,
product lifecycles and forecast demand for our product to value our inventory. To the extent actual results differ from these estimates
and assumptions, the balances of reported inventory and cost of products sold will change accordingly. Since Aristo supplies different
generations of computer related products, older generation products will move slowly owing to lower market demand. According to
the management experience and estimation on the actual market situation, old generation products carrying on hand for ten years
will have no re-sell value. Therefore, these inventories on hand over ten years will be written off by Aristo immediately.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
We maintain an allowance
for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. Our allowance
for doubtful accounts is based on our assessment of the collectability of specific customer accounts, the aging of accounts receivable,
our history of bad debts, and the general condition of the industry. If a major customer’s credit worthiness deteriorates,
or our customers’ actual defaults exceed our historical experience, our estimates could change and impact our reported results.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal sources
of liquidity are cash from operations, bank lines of credit and credit terms from suppliers. Our principal uses of cash have been
for operations and working capital. We anticipate these uses will continue to be our principal uses of cash in the future.
As of December 31,
2014, the Company had no lines of credit and loan facilities available for drawdown as short-term loans repayable within 90 days
due to the disposal of ACL Holdings on September 30, 2014. Detailed disclosures regarding our outstanding credit facilities are
set forth in Notes 7 and 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, including the amounts of the facilities, outstanding
balances, interest rates, maturity periods (for long term loans) and pledge of assets.
Our ability to draw
down under our various credit and loan facilities is, in each case, subject to the prior consent of the relevant lending institution
to make advances at the time of the requested advance and each facility (other than with respect to certain long term mortgage
loans) is payable within 90 days of drawdown. Accordingly, on a case by case basis, we may elect to terminate or not renew several
of our credit facilities if significant reduction in our available short term borrowings that we do not deem it is commercially
reasonable.
As of December 31,
2014, the Company has total current assets of $128 and current liabilities of $448,055. This raises substantial doubt about the
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. We will continue to seek additional sources of available financing on acceptable
terms; however, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain the necessary additional capital on a timely basis or
on acceptable terms, if at all. In addition, if the results are negatively impacted and delayed as a result of political and economic
factors beyond management’s control, our capital requirements may increase.
The short-term borrowings
from banks and other financial institutions to finance the cash flow required to finance the purchase of products from our suppliers
must be made a day in advance of the release of goods from suppliers’ warehouse before receiving payments from customers
upon physical delivery of such goods in Hong Kong which, in most instances, take approximately two days from the date of such delivery.
The following factors,
among others, could have a negative impact on the Company’s results of operations and financial position: the termination
or change in terms of the banking facilities; pricing pressures in the industry; a continued downturn in the economy in general
or in the memory products sector; an unexpected decrease in demand for certain memory products; the Company’s ability to
attract new customers; an increase in competition in the related markets; and the ability of some of the Company’s customers
to obtain financing.
Although we believe
the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity,
performance or achievements. We are under no duty to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this report
to conform them to actual results or to make changes in our expectations.
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
In the year ended
December 31, 2014, net cash provided by operating activities amounted to $1,615,830 while net cash used for operating activities
in the year ended December 31, 2013, amounted to $9,090,317, an increase of $10,706,147. This increase was primarily due to the
disposal of ACL Holdings on September 30, 2014.
Net Cash Provided by Investing Activities
In the year ended
December 31, 2014, net cash provided by investing activities amounted to $11,738,454 while net cash provided by investing activities
in the year ended December 31, 2013, amounted to $9,745,137, an increase of $1,993,317. This increase was primarily due to the
disposal of ACL Holdings on September 30, 2014.
Net Cash Used for Financing Activities
In the year ended
December 31, 2014, net cash used for financing activities amounted to $13,585,403 while net cash used for financing activities
in the year ended December 31, 2013, amounted to $1,063,163, a decrease of $12,522,240. This decrease was due to the disposal of
ACL Holdings on September 30, 2014.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of December 31,
2014 and 2013, we had no relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred
to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off balance
sheet arrangements, or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. We are, therefore, not materially exposed to any financing,
liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in such relationships.
Related Party Transactions
We conduct business
with several affiliated companies. All of the related party transactions taking place during the reporting periods were conducted
in the normal course of business. The prices of products sold to or purchased from these related entities are in the same price
ranges as those offered to other non-related customers or purchased from other vendors.
Amounts due from Aristo
/ Mr. Yang represented Aristo transactions with various related parties of Mr. Yang.
Effect of Inflation
We believe that our
results of operations are not dependent upon moderate changes in inflation rates as we expect to be able to pass along component
price increases to our customers.
Inflation generally
affects us by increasing costs of raw materials, labor, and equipment. We do not believe that inflation had any material effect
on our results of operations in the periods presented in our audited consolidated financial statements.

Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure |
On March 21, 2014
(the “Engagement Date”), the Company’s board of directors approved the engagement of Albert Wong & Co. LLP
(“New Auditor”), an independent U.S. CPA firm which is associated with the Company's existing independent accountants,
Albert Wong & Co. (“Previous Auditor”), who tendered its resignation on March 21, 2014 (the “Resignation
Date”), as the Company’s new independent accountant.
The report of the
Previous Auditor on the Company's consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2010 and 2011 did not
contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting
principles, except to note that the Company had numerous significant related parties’ transactions. During the years ended
December 31, 2010 and 2011 and through the Resignation Date, there have been no disagreements between the Company and the Previous
Auditor on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which
disagreements if not resolved to the Previous Auditor’s satisfaction would have caused them to make reference to the subject
matter of the disagreement in connection with their reports. During the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2011 and through the
Resignation Date, there were no "reportable events" as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
During the years ended
December 31, 2012 and 2011, and any subsequent interim period prior to the Engagement Date, neither the Company nor anyone acting
on the Company's behalf consulted the New Auditor with respect to (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction,
either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company's consolidated financial statements,
or any other matters (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in paragraph (a)(1)(iv) of Item
304 of Regulation S-K and the related instructions thereto) or reportable events (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation
S-K).
Item 9A. |
Controls and Procedures |
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure
controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or
submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized
and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules and forms, and that such information
is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial
Officer (“CFO”), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Limitations on
the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls. In designing and evaluating the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, management
recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not
absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure
controls and procedures, Company management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship
of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon
certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving
its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Evaluation of Disclosure
Controls and Procedures. The Company's CEO and CFO have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's
disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) as of December 31, 2014, and based
on this evaluation, the Company's principal executive and financial officers have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls
and procedures were not effective to ensure that material information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported by management
of the Company on a timely basis in order to comply with the Company's disclosure obligations under the Exchange Act and the rules
and regulations promulgated thereunder. The Company's principal executive and financial officer’s conclusion regarding the
Company's disclosure controls and procedures is based on management's conclusion that the Company's internal control over financial
reporting are ineffective, as described below.
Management’s Report on Internal
Control over Financial Reporting
The Company's CEO
and CFO are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules
13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to the
company's management and board of directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements.
All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined
to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
In making its assessment
of internal control over financial reporting management used the criteria issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of
the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Because of the material weakness described in the following
paragraphs, management believes that, as of December 31, 2014, the company's internal control over financial reporting was not
effective based on those criteria.
Management’s
evaluation was retrospective and conducted as of December 31, 2014, the last day of the fiscal year covered by this Form 10-K.
Based upon management’s evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting were
not effective as of December 31, 2014 because we have not completed the remediation (discussed elsewhere in this document) for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 due to the following material weaknesses:
Company-level
controls. We did not maintain effective company-level controls as defined in the Internal Control—Integrated Framework
published by COSO. These deficiencies related to each of the five components of internal control as defined by COSO (control environment,
risk assessment, control activities, information and communication, and monitoring). These deficiencies resulted in more than a
remote likelihood that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements would not be prevented or detected.
Specifically,
| · | Our control environment did not sufficiently promote effective internal control over financial
reporting throughout our organizational structure, and this material weakness was a contributing factor to the other material weaknesses
described in this Item 9A; |
| · | Our board of directors had not established adequate financial reporting monitoring activities to
mitigate the risk of management override, specifically: |
| – | no formally documented financial analysis was presented to our board of directors, specifically
fluctuation, variance, trend analysis or business performance reviews; |
| – | an effective whistleblower program had not been established; |
| – | there was insufficient oversight of external audit specifically related to fees, scope of activities,
executive sessions, and monitoring of results; |
| – | there was insufficient oversight of accounting principle implementation; |
| – | there was insufficient review of related party transactions; and |
| – | there was insufficient review of recording of stock transactions. |
| · | We did not maintained sufficient competent evidence to support the effective operation of our internal
controls over financial reporting, specifically related to our board of directors’ oversight of quarterly and annual SEC
filings; and management’s review of SEC filings, journal entries, account analyses and reconciliations, and critical spreadsheet
controls; |
| · | We had inadequate risk assessment controls, including inadequate mechanisms for anticipating and
identifying financial reporting risks; and for reacting to changes in the operating environment that could have a material effect
on financial reporting; |
| · | There was inadequate communication from management to employees regarding the general importance
of controls and employees duties and control responsibilities; |
| · | We had inadequate monitoring controls, including inadequate staffing and procedures to ensure periodic
evaluations of internal controls, to ensure that appropriate personnel regularly obtain evidence that controls were functioning
effectively and that identified control deficiencies were remediated in a timely manner; |
| · | We had an inadequate number of trained finance and accounting personnel with appropriate expertise
in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, in certain circumstances, an effective secondary review of technical
accounting matters was not performed; |
| · | We had inadequate controls over our management information systems related to program changes,
segregation of duties, and access controls; |
| · | We had inadequate access and change controls over end-user computing spreadsheets. Specifically,
our controls over the completeness, accuracy, validity and restricted access and review of certain spreadsheets used in the period-end
financial statement preparation and reporting process were not designed appropriately or did not operate as designed; and |
| · | We were unable to assess the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting in
a timely matter. |
Financial
statement preparation and review procedures. We had inadequate policies, procedures and personnel to ensure that accurate,
reliable interim and annual consolidated financial statements were prepared and reviewed on a timely basis. Specifically, we had
insufficient: a) levels of supporting documentation; b) review and supervision within the accounting and finance departments; c)
preparation and review of footnote disclosures accompanying our financial statements; and d) technical accounting resources. These
deficiencies resulted in errors in the financial statements and more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of our
annual or interim financial statements would not be prevented or detected. In addition, as discussed in Note 2 of Notes to the
Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-K, we recently determined that Aristo Technologies Limited (“Aristo”),
a related party, has been a variable interest entity under FASB ASC 810-10-25. Consequently, we are consolidating the financial
statements of Aristo with those of the Company for the period effective and are restating our previously filed annual and interim
financial statements in amended Form 10-Ks for years ended 2007 and 2008 to reflect the disclosure in accordance with ASC 810-10-25.
Inadequate
reviews of account reconciliations, analyses and journal entries. We had inadequate review procedures over account reconciliations,
account and transaction analyses, and journal entries. Specifically, deficiencies were noted in the following areas: a) management
review of supporting documentation, calculations and assumptions used to prepare the financial statements, including spreadsheets
and account analyses; and b) management review of journal entries recorded during the financial statement preparation process.
These deficiencies resulted in a more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial
statements would not be prevented or detected.
Inadequate
controls over purchases and disbursements. We had inadequate controls over the segregation of duties and authorization of purchases,
and the disbursement of funds. These weaknesses increase the likelihood that misappropriation of assets and/or unauthorized purchases
and disbursements could occur and not be detected in a timely manner. These deficiencies resulted in errors in the financial statements
and in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements would not be prevented
or detected. Specifically,
| · | We had inadequate procedures and controls to ensure proper segregation of duties within our purchasing
and disbursements processes and accounting systems; |
| · | We had inadequate procedures and controls to ensure proper authorization of purchase orders; and |
| · | We had inadequate approvals for payment of invoices and wire transfers. |
This
annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial
reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary
rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
As of December
31, 2014, we had not completed the remediation of any of these material weaknesses.
We are
addressing the outstanding material weaknesses described above, as well as our control environment. We also expect to undertake
the following remediation efforts:
| · | We plan on formalizing quarterly financial statement variance analysis of actual versus budget
with relevant explanations of variances for distribution to our board of directors. |
| · | We are in the process of developing, documenting, and communicating a formal whistleblower program
to employees. We expect to post the policy on the Company web site in the governance section and in the common areas in the office.
We plan on providing a toll free number for reporting complaints and will hire a specific third party whistleblower company to
monitor the hotline and provide monthly reports of activity to our board of directors. |
| · | Management intends to continue to provide SEC and US GAAP training for employees and retain external
consultants with appropriate SEC and US GAAP expertise to assist in financial statement review, account analysis review, review
and filing of SEC reports, policy and procedure compilation assistance, and other related advisory services. |
| · | We intend on developing an internal control over financial reporting evidence policy and procedures
which contemplates, among other items, a listing of all identified key internal controls over financial reporting, assignment of
responsibility to process owners within the Company, communication of such listing to all applicable personnel, and specific policies
and procedures around the nature and retention of evidence of the operation of controls. |
| · | We have restricted access to all financial modules. In order to mitigate the risks of management
or other override, only authorized persons have edit access to each. We will remove or add authorized personnel as appropriate
to mitigate the risks of management or other override; and |
| · | We have re-assigned roles and responsibilities, and intend to continue improving segregation of
duties. |
These specific
actions are part of an overall program that we are currently developing in an effort to remediate the material weaknesses described
above.
Attached
as exhibits to this report are certifications of our CEO and CFO, which are required in accordance with Rule 13a-14 of Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The discussion above in this Item 9A includes information concerning the controls and controls
evaluation referred to in the certifications and those certifications should be read in conjunction with this Item 9A for a more
complete understanding of the topics presented.
We are
committed to improving our internal control processes and will continue to diligently review our internal control over financial
reporting and our disclosure controls and procedures. The failure to implement adequate controls may result in deficient and inaccurate
reports under the Exchange Act.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial
Reporting
There have been no
changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange
Act) during the quartered ended December 31, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect,
our internal control over financial reporting.

Chung-Lun Yang,
Chairman of the Board. Mr. Yang became a Director on September 30, 2003. Mr. Yang is the founder of Atlantic and has been a director
of Atlantic since 1991. Mr. Yang graduated from The Hong Kong Polytechnic University in 1982 with a degree in electronic engineering.

and operational experience led the Board of Directors to believe this individual is qualified to serve as a director of the Company. Mr.
Yang is also a member of The Institution of Electrical Engineers, United Kingdom. Mr. Yang resigned as the Company’s Chief
Executive Officer on February 1, 2013.

in Engineering Management from the University of Technology, Sydney, and a Postgraduate degree in Investment Decision Making from
Wuhan University of Technology. Mr. Leung was chosen to be a member of the board based on his experience in managing development
and implementation of electronic devices and solutions for more than 10 years.
There are no family
relationships between any of our directors and executive officers. There have been no events under any bankruptcy act, no criminal
proceedings and no judgments, orders or decrees material to the evaluation of the ability and integrity of any director or executive
officer of the Company during the past five years.
Board Meetings
During the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2014, our Board of Directors held 4 meetings. No director who served during the fiscal year ended December
31, 2014 attended fewer than 80% of the meetings of the Board of Directors during that year.
Committees of the Board
On January 20, 2011,
the Board of Directors establishes an Audit Committee, Nominating Committee and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors:
Board Leadership Structure and Risk
Oversight Role
Our Board of Directors
currently contains 2 Executive Directors. The Company is in search of appropriate candidate to fill in the vacant position of Independent
Directors. We believe that such a leadership structure is suitable for the Company at its present stage of development.
As a matter of regular
practice, and as part of its oversight function, our Board of Directors periodically reviews on the significant risks in respect
to our business. With our current governance structure based on our Board of Directors and senior executives, there is not
a significant division of oversight and operational responsibilities in managing the material risks facing the Company.
Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
We have adopted a
written code of business conduct and ethics, known as our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics which applies to all of our directors,
officers, and employees, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial and accounting officer. A copy of
the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is attached as Exhibit 14 to the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December
31, 2003. To receive a copy of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, at no cost, requests should be directed to the Secretary,
USmart Mobile Device Inc., Room 1703, 17/F., Tower 1, Enterprise Square, 9 Sheung Yuet Road, Kowloon Bay, Kowloon, Hong Kong. We
intend to disclose any amendment to, or waiver of, a provision of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics in a report filed under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, within four business days of the amendment or waiver.
Stockholder Communications
Stockholders and other
interested parties may contact the Board of Directors or the non-management directors as a group at the following address: Board
of Directors or Outside Directors, USmart Mobile Device Inc., Room 1703, 17/F., Tower 1, Enterprise Square, 9 Sheung Yuet Road,
Kowloon Bay, Kowloon, Hong Kong. All communications received at the above address will be relayed to the Board of Directors or
the non-management directors, respectively. Communications regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters
may also be reported to the Board of Directors using the above address.
Typically, we do not
forward to our directors communications from our stockholders or other communications which are of a personal nature or not related
to the duties and responsibilities of the Board, including:
| · | Junk mail and mass mailings |
| · | Resumes and other forms of job inquiries |
| · | Opinion surveys and polls |
| · | Business solicitations or advertisements |
Compliance with Section 16(A) of The Securities Exchange
Act of 1934
Section 16(a) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our directors and executive officers and persons who own more than ten percent
of a registered class of our equity securities (collectively, “Reporting Person”) to file with the SEC initial reports
of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of our Common Stock and other equity securities of the Company. Reporting Persons
are required by the SEC regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms that they file. To our knowledge,
based solely on a review of the copies of such reports furnished to us, we believe that during fiscal year ended December 31, 2014
all Reporting Persons complied with all applicable filing requirements.
Item 11. |
Executive Compensation |
COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Summary
Our approach to executive
compensation is influenced by our belief in rewarding people for consistently strong execution and performance. We believe that
the ability to attract and retain qualified executive officers and other key employees is essential to our long term success.
Our plan to obtain
and retain highly skilled employees is to provide market competitive salaries and also incentive awards. Our approach is to link
individual employee objectives with overall company strategies and results, and to reward executive officers and significant employees
for their individual contributions to those strategies and results. We use compensation and performance data from comparable companies
in the electronics distribution industry to establish market competitive compensation and performance standards for our employees.
Furthermore, we believe that equity awards serve to align the interests of our executives with those of our stockholders. As such,
we intend for equity to become a key component of our compensation program.
Named Executive Officers
The named executive
officers for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 are: Ben Wong, our Chief Executive Officer; Eddy Wong, our Chief Financial
Officer; and Ming Yan Leung, our Chief Technology Officer. These individuals are referred to collectively in this Annual Report
on Form 10-K as the “Named Executive Officers.”
OUR EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PROGRAM
Overview
The primary elements
of our executive compensation program are base salary, incentive cash and stock bonus opportunities and equity incentives typically
in the form of stock option grants. Although we provide other types of compensation, these three elements are the principal means
by which we provide the Named Executive Officers with compensation opportunities.
The emphasis on the
annual bonus opportunity and equity compensation components of the executive compensation program reflect our belief that a large
portion of an executive’s compensation should be performance-based. This compensation is performance-based because payment
is tied to the achievement of corporate performance goals. To the extent that performance goals are not achieved, executives will
receive a lesser amount of total compensation. We have entered into employment agreements with four of our Named Executive Officers.
Such employment agreements set forth base salaries, bonuses and stock option grants. Such stock option grants are predicated on
our achievement of corporate performance goals as set forth in such agreements.
ELEMENTS OF OUR EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
PROGRAM
Base Salary
We pay a base salary
to certain of the Named Executive Officers. In general, base salaries for the Named Executive Officers are determined by evaluating
the responsibilities of the executive’s position, the executive’s experience and the competitiveness of the marketplace.
Base salary adjustments are considered and take into account changes in the executive’s responsibilities, the executive’s
performance and changes in the competitiveness of the marketplace. We believe that the base salaries of the Named Executive Officers
are appropriate within the context of the compensation elements provided to the executives and because they are at a level which
remains competitive in the marketplace.
Bonuses
The Board of Directors
may authorize us to give discretionary bonuses, payable in cash or shares of Common Stock, to the Named Executive Officers and
other key employees. Such bonuses are designed to motivate the Named Executive Officers and other employees to achieve specified
corporate, business unit and/or individual, strategic, operational and other performance objectives.
Stock Options
Stock options constitute
performance-based compensation because they have value to the recipient only if the price of our Common Stock increases. We have
not granted any stock options to any of our Named Executive Officers and the grant of stock options to Named Executive Officers
is not a material factor in making compensation determinations with respect to our Named Executive Officers. However, we have in
the past used stock options as incentives for our other employees. Stock options generally vest over time, with obtainment of a
corporate goal, or a combination of the two. The grant of stock options is designed to motivate our employees to achieve our short
term and long term corporate goals.
Retirement and Deferred Compensation Benefits
We do not have any
arrangements with the Named Executive Officers to provide them with retirement and/or deferred compensation benefits.
Perquisites
There were no perquisites
provided to the Named Executive Officers.
Post-Termination/Change of Control Compensation
We do not have any
arrangements with the Named Executive Officers to provide them with compensation following termination of employment.
Tax Implications of Executive Compensation
Our aggregate deductions
for each Named Executive Officer compensation are potentially limited by Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code to the extent
the aggregate amount paid to an executive officer exceeds $1 million, unless it is paid under a predetermined objective performance
plan meeting certain requirements, or satisfies one of various other exceptions specified in the Internal Revenue Code. At our
2012 Named Executive Officer compensation levels, we did not believe that Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code would be
applicable, and accordingly, we did not consider its impact in determining compensation levels for our Named Executive Officers
in 2012.
Hedging Policy
We do not permit the
Named Executive Officers to “hedge” ownership by engaging in short sales or trading in any options contracts involving
our securities.
Option Exercises and Stock Vested
No options have been
exercised by our Named Executive Officers during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.
Pension Benefits
Under the Mandatory
Provident Fund (“MPF”) Scheme Ordinance in Hong Kong, the Company is required to set up or participate in an MPF scheme
to which both the Company and employees must make continuous contributions throughout their employment based on 5% of the employees’
earnings, subject to maximum and minimum level of income. For those earning less than the minimum level of income, they are not
required to contribute but may elect to do so. However, regardless of the employees’ election, their employers must contribute
5% of the employees’ income. Contributions in excess of the maximum level of income are voluntary. All contributions to the
MPF scheme are fully and immediately vested with the employees’ accounts. The contributions must be invested and accumulated
until the employees’ retirement.
Nonqualified Deferred Compensation
We do not have any
defined contribution or other plan that provides for the deferral of compensation on a basis that is not tax-qualified.
Employment Agreements
We have entered into
employment agreements with our Executive Officers, which set the base salary as set forth in our summary compensation table.
Executive Officer Compensation
The following table
sets forth the annual and long-term compensation of our Named Executive Officers for services in all capacities to the Company
whose total compensation exceeds $100,000 for the last two fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence |
All related person
transactions are reviewed and, as appropriate, may be approved or ratified by the Board of Directors. Related person transactions
are approved by the Board of Directors only if, based on all of the facts and circumstances, they are in, or not inconsistent with,

Directors may also impose such conditions as it deems necessary and appropriate on us or the related person in connection with
the transaction.
In the case of a transaction
presented to the Board of Directors for ratification, the Board of Directors may ratify the transaction or determine whether rescission
of the transaction is appropriate.

Report of Independent Registered Public
Accounting Firm
We have audited the accompanying consolidated
balance sheets of USmart Mobile Device Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related consolidated statements
of income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility
of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our
audit.
We conducted our audits in accordance with
standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the
audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The
Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s 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 includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial
statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of USmart Mobile Device
Inc. as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The Company's financial statements are
prepared using the generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of
assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. These factors as discussed in Note 18 to the financial
statements, raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to
these matters are also described in Note 18. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the
outcome of this uncertainty.

Organization and Basis of Presentation
USmart Mobile Device
Inc. (“USmart”) and its subsidiaries are referred to herein collectively and on a consolidated basis as the “Company”
or “we”, “us” or “our” or similar terminology.
The Company was incorporated
under the laws of the State of Delaware on September 17, 2002 and previously known as ACL Semiconductors Inc. The Company acquired
Atlantic Components Limited, a Hong Kong incorporated company (“Atlantic”) through a reverse-acquisition that was effective
September 30, 2003. On September 28, 2012, the Company acquired Jussey Investments Limited, a company incorporated in British Virgin
Islands (“Jussey”). The subsidiaries were held for disposal since March 31, 2014 and officially disposed on September
30, 2014, the Company disposed all of the equity interest held in ACL International Holdings Limited (“ACL Holdings”).
After the disposal,
the Company is still engaged in the sales and distribution of smartphones, electronic products and components in Hong Kong Special
Administrative Region (“Hong Kong”) and the People’s Republic of China (“China” or the “PRC”).
Business Activity
USmart was incorporated
under the laws of the State of Delaware on September 17, 2002. The Company has been primarily engaged in the business of distribution
of memory products mainly under “Samsung” brand name which principally comprised Dynamic Random Access Memory (“DRAM”),
Graphic Random Access Memory (“Graphic RAM”), and Flash memory components for the Hong Kong Special Administrative
Region (“Hong Kong”) and People’s Republic of China (the “PRC” or “China”) markets formerly
through its indirectly wholly owned subsidiary Atlantic Components Limited (“Atlantic”), a Hong Kong incorporated company,
and ATMD (Hong Kong) Limited (“ATMD”) after April 1, 2012. The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary ACL International
Holdings Limited (“ACL Holdings”), owns 30% equity interest in ATMD, the joint venture with Tomen Devices Corporation
(“Tomen”). ATMD offers a broad range of industry-leading Samsung semiconductor products, and additional components
from SAMCO (such as wifi and camera modules) and SMD (smartphone panels). Atlantic integrated around 90% of its business relating
to procurement of semiconductors and electronic parts from Samsung to ATMD. Subsequent to the start of the operations of ATMD,
the Company’s sales, the cost of sales and operating expenses are expected to evolve in accordance with the transition of
the Company’s business as described above. Through the acquisition of Jussey Investments Limited (“Jussey”) on
September 28, 2012, the Company has diversified its product portfolio and customer network, obtained design and manufacturing capabilities,
and tapped into the blooming telecommunication industry with access to the 3G baseband licenses. On September 30, 2014, the Company
disposed all of the equity interest held in ACL International Holdings Limited (“ACL Holdings”) to an independent third
party Targa Electronics Company Limited (“Targa”). On completion of the disposal, USmart no longer holds any equity
interest in ACL Holdings, and the Company will maintain sales and distribution operation of smartphones, electronic products and
components in a moderate size and will also seek for acquisition of other business opportunity.

Variable Interests Entities
According to
ASC 810-10-25 which codified FASB Interpretation No. 46 (Revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities —
an interpretation of ARB No. 51 (FIN 46R), an entity that has one or more of the three characteristics set forth therein is considered
a variable interest entity. One of such characteristics is that the equity investment at risk in the relevant entity is not sufficient
to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support provided by any parties, including
the equity holders.
ASC 810-05-08A
specifies the two characteristics of a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity (“VIE”): (1) the
power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance; and (2) the obligation
to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that
could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company is the primary beneficiary of Aristo because the Company can direct the
activities of Aristo through the common director and major shareholder. Also, the Company extended substantial accounts receivable
to Aristo and created an obligation to absorb loss if Aristo failed. Moreover, ASC 810-25-42 & 43 provides guidance on related
parties treatment of VIE and specifies the relationship of de-facto agent and principal. This guidance will help to determine whether
the Company will consolidate Aristo.
All the above
mentioned subsidiaries or deem subsidiary were no longer belonged to the Group and were not our subsidiaries and deem subsidiaries
after September 30, 2014.

Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued) |
| (b) | Principles of consolidation (Continued) |
Aristo Technologies
Limited
The Company
sells Samsung memory chips to Aristo and allows long grace periods for Aristo to repay the open accounts receivable. Being the
biggest creditor, the Company does not require Aristo to pledge assets or enter into any agreements to bind Aristo to specific
repayment terms. The Company does not experience any bad debt from Aristo. Hence, the Company does not provide any bad debt provision
derived from Aristo. Although, the Company is not involved in Aristo’s daily operation, it believes that there will not be
significant additional risk derived from the trading relationship and transactions with Aristo.
Aristo
is engaged in the marketing, selling and servicing of computer products and accessories including semiconductors, LCD products,
mass storage devices, consumer electronics, computer peripherals and electronic components for different generations of computer
related products. Aristo carries various brands of products such as Samsung, Hynix, Micron, Elpida, Qimonda, Lexar, Dane-Elec,
Elixir, SanDisk and Winbond. Aristo 2013 sales were around 7 million; it was only a small distributor that accommodated special
requirements for specific customers.
Aristo
supplies different generations of computer related products. Old generation products will move slowly owing to lower market demand.
According to the management experience and estimation on the actual market situation, old products carrying on hand for ten years
will have no resell value. Therefore, inventories on hand over ten years will be written-off by Aristo immediately.
The Company
sold to Aristo in order to fulfill Aristo’s periodic need for Samsung memory products based on prevailing market prices,
which Aristo, in turn, sells to its customers. The sales to Aristo for fiscal year 2014 were $Nil. For fiscal year 2013 were
$3,337,735 with account receivable of $4,850,769 as of December 31, 2013. For fiscal year 2012 were $106,031 with account receivable
of $5,323,933 as of December 31, 2012. For fiscal year 2011 were $7,086,379 with accounts receivable of $16,871,739 as of December
31, 2011. For fiscal year 2010 were $7,123,769 with accounts receivable of $14,073,937 as of December 31, 2010.
The Company
purchases from Aristo, from time to time, LCD panels, Samsung memory chips, DRAM, Flash memory, central processing units, external
hard disks, DVD readers and writers that the Company cannot obtain from Samsung directly due to supply limitations.
Acquisition
The Company
uses the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations which requires that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed
be recorded at the date of the acquisition at their respective fair values. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business
combination that arise from contingencies are recognized at fair value if fair value can reasonably be estimated. If the fair value
of an asset acquired or liability assumed that arises from a contingency cannot be determined at the date of acquisition, the asset
or liability is recognized if probable and reasonably estimable; if these criteria are not met, no asset or liability is recognized.
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price)
in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on
the measurement date. Any excess of the purchase price (consideration transferred) over the estimated fair values of net assets
acquired is recorded as goodwill. Transaction costs and costs to restructure the acquired company are expensed as incurred. The
operating results of acquired business are reflected in the acquirer’s consolidated financial statements and results of operations
after the date of the acquisition.
| (c) | Jointly-controlled entity |
A jointly-controlled
entity is a corporate joint venture that is subject to joint control, resulting in none of the participating parties having unilateral
control over the economic activity of the jointly-controlled entity.
The Group’s
investment in a jointly-controlled entity is stated in equity method for the consolidated statement of financial position the Group’s
shares of the equity of a jointly-controlled entity and the consolidated income statement and consolidated reserves, respectively.
USMART MOBILE DEVICE INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 2. | Summary of significant accounting policies
(Continued) |
The preparation
of consolidated financial statements that conform with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure
of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting periods. Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time, however,
actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
| (e) | Economic and political risks |
The Company’s
operations are conducted in Hong Kong and China. A large number of customers are located in Southern China. Accordingly, the Company’s
business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environment in Hong
Kong and China, and by the general state of the economy in Hong Kong and China.
The Company’s
operations and customers in Hong Kong and Southern China are subject to special considerations and significant risks not typically
associated with companies in North America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political,
economic and legal environments, and foreign currency exchange. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes
in the political and social conditions in Hong Kong and China, and by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and
regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion, remittances abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other
things.
| (f) | Property, plant and equipment |
Plant and
equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided over their estimated useful lives, using
the straight-line method.
Estimated useful lives of the
plant and equipment are as follows:
Automobiles |
3 1/3 years |
Computers |
5 years |
Leasehold improvement |
5 years |
Land and buildings |
By estimated useful life |
Office equipment |
5 years |
Machinery |
10 years |
The cost and related accumulated
depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in the statement
of income.
Accounts
receivable is carried at the net invoiced value charged to customer. The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts to
cover estimated credit losses. Management reviews and adjusts this allowance periodically based on historical experience and its
evaluation of the collectability of outstanding accounts receivable. The Company evaluates the credit risk of its customers utilizing
historical data and estimates of future performance.

Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued) |
| (h) | Accounting for the impairment of long-lived assets |
The Company
periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used, including intangible assets subject to amortization,
when events and circumstances warrant such a review, pursuant to the guidelines established in ASC No. 360 (formerly Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144). The carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired when the anticipated
undiscounted cash flow from such asset is separately identifiable and is less than its carrying value. In that event, a loss is
recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair market value of the long-lived asset. Fair market value
is determined primarily using the anticipated cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved. Losses on long-lived
assets to be disposed of are determined in a similar manner, except that fair market values are reduced for the cost to dispose.
During
the reporting years, there was no impairment loss.
| (i) | Cash and cash equivalents |
The Company
considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The
Company maintains bank accounts in Hong Kong. The Company does not maintain any bank accounts in the United States of America.
Inventories
are stated at the lower of cost or market and are comprised of purchased computer technology resale products. Cost is determined
using the first-in, first-out method.
Leases
that substantially transfer all the benefits and risks of ownership of assets to the company are accounted for as capital leases.
At the inception of a capital lease, the asset is recorded together with its long term obligation (excluding interest element)
to reflect the purchase and the financing.
Leases
which do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the company are classified as operating leases. Payments
made under operating leases are charged to income statement in equal installments over the accounting periods covered by the lease
term. Lease incentives received are recognized in income statement as an integral part of the aggregate net lease payments made.
Contingent rentals are charged to income statement in the accounting period which they are incurred.
(l) Income
taxes
We are
governed by the Internal Revenue Code of the United States, the Hong Kong Inland Revenue Department and the PRC’s Income
Tax Laws. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the 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,
including tax loss and credit carry forwards, and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable
income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets
and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income of the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred income
tax expense represents the change during the period in the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities. The components of
the deferred tax assets and liabilities are individually classified as current and non-current based on their characteristics.
Realization of the deferred tax asset is dependent on generating sufficient taxable income in future years. Deferred tax assets
are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of
the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

(l) | Income taxes (Continued) |
The Company
did not have any interest or penalty recognized in the income statements for the period ended December 31, 2014 and December 31,
2013 or the balance sheet, as of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The Company did not have uncertainty tax positions or
events leading to uncertainty tax position within the next 12 months. The Company’s 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 U.S. federal
income tax returns are subject to U.S. Internal Revenue Service examination and the Company’s 2007/8, 2008/9, 2009/2010,
2010/11, 2011/12, 2012/13, 2013/14 and 2014/15 Hong Kong Company Income Tax filing are subject to Hong Kong Inland Revenue Department
examination. The Company’s 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 PRC income tax returns are subject to PRC State Administration
of Taxation examination.
| (m) | Foreign currency translation |
The accompanying
consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars (USD). The functional currencies of the Company’s
operating business based in Hong Kong and PRC are the Hong Kong Dollar (HKD) and Renminbi (RMB) respectively. The consolidated
financial statements are translated into United States dollars from HKD with a ratio of USD1.00=HKD7.80, a fixed exchange rate
maintained between Hong Kong and United States derived from the Hong Kong Monetary Authority pegging HKD and USD monetary policy.
For our subsidiaries whose functional currency are the RMB, statement of income, balance sheets and cash flows are translated with
a ratio of RMB1.00=HKD1.29 an average exchange rate during the period.
Exchange
gains or losses arising from foreign currency transactions are included in the determination of net income for the respective periods.
All of our revenue transactions are transacted in the functional currencies. We have not entered into any material transactions
that are either originated, or to be settled, in currencies other than the HKD, RMB and USD. Accordingly, transaction gains or
losses have not had, and are not expected to have a material effect on our results of operations.
The RMB
is not freely convertible into any other currencies. In addition, all foreign exchange transactions in the PRC must be conducted
through authorized institutions. Accordingly, management cannot provide any assurance that the RMB underlying the consolidated
financial statement amounts could have been, or could be, converted into HKD or USD at the exchange rates used to translate the
functional currency into the reporting currency.
The Company
derives revenues from resale of computer memory products, providing both ODM (Original Design Manufacturing) and OEM (Original
Equipment Manufacturing) services for various electronic products, such as computer and peripherals, flash storage devices and
home electronic products. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the ASC 605 “Revenue Recognition”. Under
ASC 605, revenue is recognized when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, delivery has occurred or services are rendered,
the sales price is determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue typically is recognized at time of shipment.
Sales are recorded net of discounts, rebates, and returns, which historically were not material.
The Group
expensed all advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expenses included in general and administrative expenses were $Nil and
$1,121 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
The Company’s
sales are generated from Hong Kong and the rest of China and substantially all of its assets are located in Hong Kong.
| (q) | Fair value of financial instruments |
The carrying
amount of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, lines of credit, convertible debt, accounts payable,
accrued expenses, and long-term debt approximates their estimated fair values due to the short-term maturities of those financial
instruments.

Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued) |
Comprehensive
income is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners.
Among other disclosures, all items that are required to be recognized under current accounting standards as components of comprehensive
income are required to be reported in a financial statement that is presented with the same prominence as other consolidated financial
statements. The Company has no items that represent other comprehensive income and, therefore, has not included a schedule of comprehensive
income in the consolidated financial statements.
| (s) | Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share |
In accordance
with ASC No. 260 (formerly SFAS No. 128), “Earnings Per Share,” the basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed
by dividing net earnings (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted
earnings (loss) per common share is computed similarly to basic earnings (loss) per common share, except that the denominator is
increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had
been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive.
Certain
amounts in the prior period have been reclassified to conform to the current consolidated financial statement presentation.
| (u) | Recently issued Accounting Guidance |
The FASB
has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-07, Applying Variable Interest Entities Guidance to Common Control Leasing
Arrangements. The guidance addresses the consolidation of lessors in certain common control leasing arrangements and is based
on a consensus reached by the Private Company Council (PCC). Under current U.S. GAAP, a company is required to consolidate an entity
in which it has a controlling financial interest. The assessment of controlling financial interest is performed under either: (a)
a voting interest model; or (b) a variable interest entity model. In a variable interest entity model, the company has a
controlling financial interest when it has: (a) the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the economic
performance of the entity; and (b) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the entity that could
be potentially significant to the entity. To determine which model applies, a company preparing financial statements must first
determine whether it has a variable interest in the entity being evaluated for consolidation and whether that entity is a variable
interest entity.
In February
2013, FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified
Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. This ASU improves the transparency of reporting these reclassifications. Other comprehensive
income includes gains and losses that are initially excluded from net income for an accounting period. Those gains and losses are
later reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income into net income. The amendments in this ASU do not change the
current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements. All of the information that
this ASU requires already is required to be disclosed elsewhere in the financial statements under U.S. GAAP.
-The private
company lessee and the lessor are under common control;
-The private company lessee has
a leasing arrangement with the lessor;
-Substantially all of the activity
between the private company lessee and the lessor is related to the leasing activities (including supporting leasing activities)
between those two companies, and
-If the private company lessee
explicitly guarantees or provides collateral for any obligation of the lessor related to the asset leased by the private company,
then the principal amount of the obligation at inception does not exceed the value of the asset leased by the private company from
the lessor. If elected, the accounting alternative should be applied to all leasing arrangements meeting the above conditions.
The alternative should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented, and is effective for annual periods beginning after
December 15, 2014, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015.
Early application
is permitted for all financial statements that have not yet been made available for issuance.

(u) Recently issued Accounting Guidance
(Continued)
The FASB
has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant,
and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. The amendments
in the ASU change the criteria for reporting discontinued operations while enhancing disclosures in this area. It also addresses
sources of confusion and inconsistent application related to financial reporting of discontinued operations guidance in U.S. GAAP.
Under the
new guidance, only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations should be presented as discontinued operations. Those
strategic shifts should have a major effect on the organization’s operations and financial results. Examples include a disposal
of a major geographic area, a major line of business, or a major equity method investment. In addition, the new guidance requires
expanded disclosures about discontinued operations that will provide financial statement users with more information about the
assets, liabilities, income, and expenses of discontinued operations.
The new
guidance also requires disclosure of the pre-tax income attributable to a disposal of a significant part of an organization that
does not qualify for discontinued operations reporting. This disclosure will provide users with information about the ongoing trends
in a reporting organization’s results from continuing operations. The amendments in this ASU enhance convergence between

UNCERTAINTY OF ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN |
The Company's financial
statements are prepared using the generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the
realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The continuation of the Company as a going
concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations and the attainment
of profitable operations. The management will seek to raise funds from shareholders.
For the year ended
December 31, 2014, the Company has generated revenue of $1,013,241 and has incurred an accumulated deficit $4,819,559. These financial
statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification
of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. These factors noted above raise
substantial doubts regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
