CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This annual report on Form 10-K and other reports that we file with the SEC contain statements that are considered forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements give the Company’s current expectations, plans, objectives, assumptions or forecasts of future events. All statements other than statements of current or historical fact contained in this annual report, including statements regarding the Company’s future financial position, business strategy, budgets, projected costs and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plans,” “potential,” “projects,” “ongoing,” “expects,” “management believes,” “we believe,” “we intend,” and similar expressions. These statements are based on the Company’s current plans and are subject to risks and uncertainties, and as such the Company’s actual future activities and results of operations may be materially different from those set forth in the forward looking statements. Any or all of the forward-looking statements in this annual report may turn out to be inaccurate and as such, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. The Company has based these forward-looking statements largely on its current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that it believes may affect its financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs. The forward-looking statements can be affected by inaccurate assumptions or by known or unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions due to a number of factors, including:

•

dependence on key personnel;

•

competitive factors;

•

continued growth of mobile app markets;

•

the operation of our business; and

•

general economic conditions in the ASEAN, Asia-Pacific Region and in the United States.

These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and except to the extent required by federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or persons acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained in this annual report.

PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Overview

Weyland Tech’s CreateApp platform enables small-medium-sized businesses ("SMB’s") to create a mobile application ("app") without the need of technical knowledge, high investment or background in IT.

We believe that SMB's can increase sales, reach more customers and promote their products and services via a simple easy to build mobile app at an affordable price and in a cost-effective manner.

The Company is currently in ‘application’ stage with the NASDAQ Market for approval to have its shares traded on the NASDAQ Capital Market. It is anticipated, though not certain, that this process should be completed within the calendar year 2017.

Our corporate headquarters are located at 198 Wellington Street, 8/F The Wellington, Central, Hong Kong HKSAR. Although we maintain a website at www.weyland-tech.com, we do not intend that information available on our website be incorporated into this filing.

Our Strategy

Although Weyland Tech's CreateApp platform originally focused on the Pan-Asia markets—the platform is provided in twelve, predominantly Asian, languages—we have partners that work with us to develop the EU and North American markets.

The CreateApp platform enables SMB’s to create a mobile application ("app") without the need of technical knowledge, high investment or background in IT.

We believe that through our app, SMB’s can increase sales, reach more customers and promote their products and services via a simple easy to build mobile app at an affordable and cost-effective manner.

Weyland Tech currently offers the CreateApp platform directly, in the following key markets:

Singapore: www.createappsingapore.com

India (Jaipur): www.aapkiapp.in

US/Canada: www.createappamericas.com

Weyland Tech currently offers a DIY App builder through a 'white label' platform, in the following markets, primarily via strategic Cooperation agreements that were structured in late 2015 and early 2016:

•

EU, via a Strategic Cooperation with Augicom S.A. (www.augicom.ch)

•

Malaysia, via a Strategic Cooperation agreement with Silver Ridge Tangerine Sdn Bhd (www.silverridge.com.my)

•

Hong Kong and South China via a Strategic Cooperation agreement with Info Zone Ltd.

•

Indonesia, via a Strategic Cooperation agreement with Worldfriend's Network (www.worldfriends.com) and Orient Asia Pacific Limited. Indonesian SMB’s are also targeted via a Strategic Cooperation agreement with DPEX Worldwide

•

North America, via a Strategic Cooperation agreement with Aurum Digital Inc. (www.createappamericas.com)

•

Korea via IAM, Inc. (http://www.iamyourapp.co.kr/)

•

Thailand via a Strategic Cooperation agreement with BGT Corporation Public Company Limited

•

The Philippines via a Strategic Cooperation agreement with MocaApp

SMB’s

The Company believes that these agreements will create a large enough addressable market opportunity to generate sales and profits in a scalable manner, grow the Company's business and enhance shareholder value.

Given the nature of DIY mobile apps ("apps"), and the primary target market of SMB’s, a typical go-to-market strategy would have direct sales force or resellers approach SMB’s directly to drive license sales.

Over the past year, the Company has evolved this model with two distinct market paths to drive recurring revenue sales:

A) Strategic Cooperation agreements in countries/regions where our partners are responsible for targeting SMB’s either through an installed base of customers or groups of Direct Sellers with a sales force encompassing SMB’s as end customers.

B) Enterprise Solutions where large retailers (hypermarket chains, mall owners, brand owners with company-owned and franchise stores) adopt a 'Master App' on a white-label basis, hosted at a 3rd party regional Hosting or Data Center facility.

With the above strategy, we believe that the Company has been able to maintain a lower capital expenditure base due to the 'level-two' customer support vs. 'level-one' customer support, smaller sales and marketing teams, and the need to provide hosting services.

In addition to the previously announced cooperation agreements this year, the Company is currently in late stage discussions and negotiations with a number of strategic business partners and enterprise-sized customers, including major regional and country telecommunications providers, Fortune 500 retailers and 'affiliate' groups.

Specific terms of the relationships and agreements will remain confidential for competitive reasons. However, agreements are expected to continue to support a transition from a licensing model to a multi-year model with subscriptions, m-commerce revenue sharing and advertising revenues.

Growth of the Mobile Apps Industry

We believe that there are a number of factors that are contributing to the continued growth of the mobile apps industry: (i) smartphone adoption continues to increase globally; (ii) lower purchase prices of smartphones for consumers; (iii) smartphone users are becoming increasingly comfortable with the process of searching for and conducting business on their phones; (iv) SMB’s are placing more emphasis on implementing a mobile app versus a mobile website to enable customers to gain a higher level of interaction and functionality; and (v) internet users in emerging markets use smartphones as their primary internet access device, having bypassed the desktop PC entirely. We believe that the Company will be able to participate in the growth of the mobile apps industry by offering an affordable, easy to build and use platform.

Competition

Our business is rapidly evolving and highly competitive. Our current and potential competitors include: (1) Advertising companies, Web design firms and more recently, mobile app makers; (2) other DIY mobile app companies; (3) a number of indirect competitors, including media companies, web portals, comparison shopping websites, and web search engines, either directly or in collaboration with SMB’s; (4) companies that provide e-commerce services, including website/app development.; (5) companies that provide infrastructure web and mobile services. We believe that the principal competitive factors in our mobile apps business include ease of use, affordability and broad range of functionality. Many of our current and potential competitors have greater resources, slightly longer histories, more customers, and greater brand recognition. They may adopt more aggressive pricing and devote more resources to technology, functionality and ease of use and marketing. Other companies also may enter into business combinations or alliances that strengthen their competitive positions.

Employees

The Company currently has twelve full-time employees in Singapore, Hong Kong and Jaipur, India. Our software development partner in Jaipur has 200 developers on staff to assist with technical, customer support, integration and engineering tasks.

Transfer Agent

We have engaged Nevada Agency and Trust Company as our stock transfer agent. Nevada Agency and Trust Company is located at 50 West Liberty Street, Reno, Nevada 89501. Phone: (775) 332-0626.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

We operate in a highly competitive environment in which there are numerous factors which can influence our business, financial position or results of operations and which can also cause the market value of our common stock to decline. Many of these factors are beyond our control and therefore, are difficult to predict. The following section sets forth what we believe to be the principal risks that could affect us, our business or our industry, and which could result in a material adverse impact on our financial results or cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate or decline.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS

We are subject to risks associated with changing technologies in the mobile apps industry, which could place us at a competitive disadvantage.

The successful implementation of our business strategy requires us to continuously evolve our existing solutions and introduce new solutions to meet customers’ needs. We believe that our customers rigorously evaluate our solution and service offerings on the basis of a number of factors, including, but not limited to: quality; price competitiveness; technical expertise and development capability; innovation; reliability and timeliness of delivery; operational flexibility; customer service; and overall management.

Our success depends on our ability to continue to meet our customers’ changing requirements and specifications with respect to these and other criteria. There can be no assurance that we will be able to address technological advances or introduce new offerings that may be necessary to remain competitive within the mobile apps industry.

Systems failures could cause interruptions in our services or decreases in the responsiveness of our services which could harm our business.

If our systems fail to perform, we could experience disruptions in operations, slower response times or decreased customer satisfaction. Our ability to host mobile apps successfully and provide high quality customer service depends on the efficient and uninterrupted operation of our hosting company's computer and communications hardware and software systems. Although unlikely, our hosting company's systems are vulnerable to damage or interruption from human error, natural disasters, power loss, telecommunication failures, break-ins, sabotage, computer viruses, intentional acts of vandalism and similar events. Any systems failure that causes an interruption in our services or decreases the responsiveness of our services could impair our reputation, damage our brand name and materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and cash flows.

Our cost structure is partially fixed. If our revenues decline and we are unable to reduce our costs, our profitability will be adversely affected.

Our cost structure is partially fixed. We base our cost structure on historical and expected levels of demand for our services, as well as our fixed operating infrastructure, such as computer hardware and software, and staffing levels. If demand for our services declines and, as a result, our revenues decline, we may not be able to adjust our cost structure on a timely basis and our profitability may be materially adversely affected.

Attrition of customers and failure to attract new customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and cash flows.

Although we offer mobile apps designed to support and retain our customers, our efforts to attract new customers or prevent attrition of our existing customers may not be successful. If we are unable to retain our existing customers or acquire new customers in a cost-effective manner, our business, financial condition and results of operations and cash flows would likely be adversely affected. Although we have spent significant resources on business development and related expenses and plan to continue to do so, these efforts may not be cost-effective at attracting new customers.

Any future acquisitions may result in significant transaction expenses, integration and consolidation risks and risks associated with entering new markets, and we may be unable to profitably operate our consolidated company.

The Company intends to selectively pursue acquisitions and new businesses. Any future acquisitions may result in significant transaction expenses and present new risks associated with entering additional markets or offering new products and services, and integrating the acquired companies. We may not have sufficient management, financial and other resources to integrate companies we acquire or to successfully operate new businesses and we may be unable to profitably operate our expanded

company. Additionally, any new businesses that we may acquire, once integrated with our existing operations, may not produce expected or intended results.

We may be unable to respond to customers' demands for new mobile app solutions and service offerings and our business, financial condition and results of operations and cash flows may be materially adversely affected.

Our customers may demand new mobile app solutions and service offerings. If we fail to identify these demands from customers or update our offerings accordingly, new offerings provided by our competitors may render our existing solutions and services less competitive. Our future success will depend, in part, on our ability to respond to customers' demands for new offerings on a timely and cost-effective basis and to adapt to address the increasingly sophisticated requirements and varied needs of our customers and prospective customers. We may not be successful in developing, introducing or marketing new offerings. In addition, our new offerings may not achieve market acceptance. Any failure on our part to anticipate or respond adequately to customer requirements, or any significant delays in the development, introduction or availability of new offerings or enhancements of our current offerings could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and cash flows.

We may be unable to respond to the evolving industry practices and technology solutions, and our business, financial condition and results of operations and cash flows may be materially adversely affected.

To remain competitive as a mobile app provider, we must continue to invest in research and development of new technology solutions in order to keep up with the ever-evolving industry practices and enhancements to our existing solutions. The process of developing new technologies, products and services is complex and expensive. The introduction of new solutions by our competitors, the market acceptance of competitive solutions based on new or alternative technologies or the emergence of new industry practices could render our solutions less competitive.

We may be exposed to liabilities under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and any determination that we violated the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act could have a material adverse effect on our business.

We are subject to the Foreign Corrupt Practice Act, or FCPA, and other laws that prohibit improper payments or offers of payments to foreign governments and their officials and political parties by U.S. persons and issuers as defined by the statute for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. We have operations, agreements with third parties and make sales in Asia, which may experience corruption. Our activities in Asia create the risk of unauthorized payments or offers of payments by one of the employees, consultants or agents of our company, because these parties are not always subject to our control. It is our policy to implement safeguards to discourage these practices by our employees. Also, our existing safeguards and any future improvements may prove to be less than effective, and the employees, consultants, sales agents or distributors of our Company may engage in conduct for which we might be held responsible. Violations of the FCPA may result in severe criminal or civil sanctions, and we may be subject to other liabilities, which could negatively affect our business, operating results and financial condition. In addition, the government may seek to hold our Company liable for successor liability FCPA violations committed by companies in which we invest or that we acquire.

RISKS RELATED TO THE MARKET FOR OUR STOCK

The market price of our common stock can become volatile, leading to the possibility of its value being depressed at a time when you may want to sell your holdings.

The market price of our common stock can become volatile. Numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control, may cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate significantly. These factors include:

•

our earnings releases, actual or anticipated changes in our earnings, fluctuations in our operating results or our failure to meet the expectations of financial market analysts and investors;

•

changes in financial estimates by us or by any securities analysts who might cover our stock;

•

speculation about our business in the press or the investment community;

•

significant developments relating to our relationships with our customers or suppliers;

•

stock market price and volume fluctuations of other publicly traded companies and, in particular, those that are in our industry;

•

customer demand for our business solutions;

•

investor perceptions of our industry in general and our Company in particular;

•

the operating and stock performance of comparable companies;

•

general economic conditions and trends;

•

announcements by us or our competitors of new products, significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships or divestitures;

•

changes in accounting standards, policies, guidance, interpretation or principles;

•

loss of external funding sources;

•

sales of our common stock, including sales by our directors, officers or significant stockholders; and

•

addition or departure of key personnel.

Securities class action litigation is often instituted against companies following periods of volatility in their stock price. Should this type of litigation be instituted against us, it could result in substantial costs to us and divert our management’s attention and resources.

Moreover, securities markets may from time to time experience significant price and volume fluctuations for reasons unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may adversely affect the price of our common stock and other interests in our Company at a time when you want to sell your interest in our common stock.

Our common stock is quoted on the over-the-counter electronic quotation system maintained by the OTC Markets which may have an unfavorable impact on our stock price and liquidity.

Our common stock is quoted on the OTCQB, an over-the-counter electronic quotation system maintained by the OTC Markets. The OTCQB is more limited than a trading market such as the New York Stock Exchange or NASDAQ. The OTCQB is a less visible market for the trading of our common stock by existing and potential stockholders, and so trading of our common stock on the OTCQB could depress the trading price of our common stock and could have a long-term adverse impact on our ability to raise capital in the future. We plan to list our common stock as soon as practicable. However, we cannot assure you that we will be able to meet the initial listing standards of any stock exchange, or that we will be able to maintain any such listing.

We may be subject to penny stock regulations and restrictions and you may have difficulty selling shares of our common stock.

The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define so-called “penny stocks” to be an equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exemptions. If our common stock becomes a “penny stock,” we may become subject to Rule 15g-9 under the Exchange Act, or the Penny Stock Rule. This rule imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers that sell such securities to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors” (generally, individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual incomes exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together with their spouses). For transactions covered by the Penny Stock Rule, a broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to sale. As a result, this rule may affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and may affect the ability of purchasers to sell any of our securities in the secondary market.

For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require delivery, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market. Disclosure is also required to be made about sales commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. Finally, monthly statements are required to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stock.

There can be no assurance that our common stock will qualify for exemption from the Penny Stock Rule. In any event, even if our common stock were exempt from the Penny Stock Rule, we would remain subject to Section 15(b)(6) of the Exchange Act, which gives the SEC the authority to restrict any person from participating in a distribution of penny stock, if the SEC finds that such a restriction would be in the public interest.

We may be required to raise additional financing by issuing new securities with terms or rights superior to those of our shares of common stock, which could adversely affect the market price of our shares of common stock.

We may require additional financing to fund future operations, develop and exploit existing and new products and to expand into new markets. We may not be able to obtain financing on favorable terms, if at all. If we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, the percentage ownership of our current shareholders will be reduced, and the holders of the new equity securities may have rights superior to those of the holders of shares of common stock, which could adversely affect the market price and the voting power of shares of our common stock. If we raise additional funds by issuing debt securities, the holders of these debt securities would similarly have some rights senior to those of the holders of shares of common stock, and the terms of these debt securities could impose restrictions on operations and create a significant interest expense for us.

We do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.

For the foreseeable future, we intend to retain any earnings to finance the development and expansion of our business, and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock. Accordingly, investors must be prepared to rely on sales of their common stock after price appreciation to earn an investment return, which may never occur. Investors seeking cash dividends should not purchase our common stock. Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be made at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our results of operations, financial condition, contractual restrictions, restrictions imposed by applicable law and other factors our board deems relevant.

ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS.

Not Applicable.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

The Company’s current executive offices are located at, 198 Wellington Street, 8/F The Wellington, Central, Hong Kong. The Company leases space from a strategic business enterprise, OP Investment Management for $1 per month in exchange for providing mobile applications advisory services on an ad-hoc basis.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business.

The Company is currently undergoing civil litigation in Singapore where a dispute has arisen between a shareholder and the Company in relation to the ownership of approximately 3,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Currently, the Company is pursuing alternative means of dispute resolution which if successful is expected to be able to resolve the aforementioned litigation proceedings by the third quarter of 2017. Given that the matter is still in its preliminary stages, no assurances can be given about the outcome of these proceedings. In the meanwhile, the Company believes that there are unlikely to be any negative repercussions to the other shareholders.

Additionally, the Company has also filed a suit against another shareholder in Singapore. This shareholder had sold 800,000 shares of the Company’s stock, while they were subject to a restrictive legend, to a third party for $800,000 in cash. That third party is currently attempting to register and sell the shares. While the Company is contesting such transfer as improper and potentially in violation of US securities laws, it has also named this third party as an additional defendant in the suit for amongst other things, the return of those 800,000 shares. In addition, the Company may file a related lawsuit naming its Transfer Agent in order to facilitate the requested prohibition on sale of such securities. The Company can give no assurances regarding the outcome of any such litigation, and should this third party be able to clear and sell the 800,000 shares, the market price of the Company’s shares may be adversely affected, regardless of whether the Company may at a later date have a right to recover damages from the aforesaid third party.

ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES

Not applicable.

The following is a summary of transactions since our previous disclosure on our Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 14, 2016 involving sales of our securities that were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). Each offer and sale was exempt from registration under either Section 4(2) of the Securities Act or Rule 506 under Regulation D of the Securities Act because (i) the securities were offered and sold only to accredited investors; (ii) there was no general solicitation or general advertising related to the offerings; (iii) each investor was given the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers concerning the terms of and conditions of the offering and to obtain additional information; (iv) the investors represented that they were acquiring the securities for their own account and for investment; and (v) the securities were issued with restrictive legends.

The securities granted or sold under these agreements are unregistered and may only be resold or transferred if they later become registered or fall under an exemption to the Securities Act or applicable state laws. Our typical investor or grantee generally relies upon Rule 144 of the Securities Act, which, in addition to requiring several other conditions before resale may occur, requires that the securities issued be held for a minimum of six months.

During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company received proceeds of $1,287,507 for the private placement of the company's common shares to professional investors at prices ranging from $0.75 - $2.75. These shares were issued pursuant to Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, are exempt from registration by reason of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), and bear an appropriate restrictive legend. The primary purpose of the share issuances was to increase the shareholder base in order to meet NASDAQ Capital Market minimum entry requirements. Several of the share purchasers are professional investment managers at well-known Registered Fund Management Companies and the Company believes their participation increases company credibility in the investment community.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

You should read the following plan of operation together with our financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this annual report. This plan of operation contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. The actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors.

Overview

Weyland Tech’s CreateApp platform is provided in twelve languages and enables small-medium-sized businesses ("SMB’s") to create a mobile application ("app") without the need of technical knowledge, high investment or background in IT.

We believe that SMB’s can reach additional customers, promote their products and services and increase sales, via a simple easy to build mobile app at an affordable and cost-effective manner.

On January 19, 2016 the company signed a Software Licensing Agreement ("SLA") with Info Zone Development Limited to provide a 'white label' rollout of the Company's CreateApp platform in the Hong Kong and China market.

On January 21, 2016 the company signed an exclusive Software Licensing Agreement ("SLA") with Silver Ridge-Tangerine Sdn Bhd to provide a 'white label' rollout of the Company's CreateApp platform in Malaysia.

On February 11, 2016 the company signed an exclusive Software Licensing Agreement ("SLA") with Augicom S.A., to distribute the Company's CreateApp platform in the Euro-Zone except Russia, Turkey, Armenia and Azerbaijan.

On March 9, 2016 the company signed an exclusive Software Licensing Agreement ("SLA") with Aurum Digital, Inc. to distribute CreateApp in the Americas, covering North, Central and South Americas.

On March 14, 2016 the company signed an exclusive Software Licensing Agreement ("SLA") with IAM, Inc. to distribute CreateApp in the Republic of Korea.

On March 22, 2016 the company signed a strategic Cooperation agreement ("SPA") with Meta4 Group SarL for the rollout of Meta4's 'Worldfriend's' network platform in the greater Indonesia market.

On April 12, 2016 the Company’s partner, Aurum Digital, signed an exclusive customer agreement with World Black Belt, Inc. (“WBB”), to rollout the CreateApp platform within WBB’s 5,035-Direct member network and marketing to WBB’s Affiliate Network of 33,000 Martial Art’s Schools.

On April 15, 2016, the Company applied for uplisting to the OTC Markets Group’s ‘OTCQB Marketplace’ which is a higher tier market for publicly traded companies. The company’s shares began trading on the OTCQB Market on June 14, 2016.

On June 23, 2016, the Company entered into a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with 2C2P, the leading Southeast Asian payments services company.

2C2P and Weyland Tech have agreed to work together on an m-commerce solution that enables Small-Medium-sized-Businesses to provide multi-payment options to consumers in the Southeast Asia region.

On June 30, 2016, the Company signed a Master Service Agreement ("MSA") with Orient Asia Pacific Limited. ("OAP"), for the Indonesian market.

On September 6, 2016 the Company signed a strategic licensing agreement with BGT Corporation Public Company Limited for the Thai market.

On October 27, 2016 the Company signed a strategic licensing agreement with MocaApp for the Philippines market.

On December 16, 2016, the Company announced that it has entered into a Strategic Cooperation agreement with DPEX Worldwide, a leading provider of express and E-Commerce solutions in Asia and for the SMB market in Indonesia.

Plan of Operations

In addition to Weyland Tech’s focus on the ASEAN and pan-Asia markets, we have business partners with whom we develop the EU and North American markets. The CreateApp platform is offered in twelve languages and enables SMB’s to create a mobile application ("app") without the need of technical knowledge, high investment and background in IT.

SMB’s can increase sales, reach more customers and promote their products and services via a simple easy to build mobile app at an affordable and cost-effective manner.

The Company believes that the strategic Cooperation agreements that were structured in late 2015 and early 2016, represent a significantly large addressable market opportunity allowing the company to generate sales and profits in a scalable manner, grow the Company's business and enhance shareholder value.

Over the past year, the Company has evolved this model with two distinct market paths to drive recurring revenue sales:

A) Strategic Cooperation agreement in countries/regions where our partners are responsible for targeting SMB’s either through an installed base of customers, or though groups of Direct Sellers with a sales force encompassing SMB’s as end customers.

B) Enterprise Solutions wherein large retailers (hypermarket chains, mall owners, brand owners with company-owned and franchise stores) adopt a 'Master App' on a white-label basis, hosted at a 3rd party regional Hosting or Data Center facility.

With the above strategy, we believe that the Company has been able to establish a sales footprint in a number of significant markets while maintaining a lower capital expenditure base due to the 'level-two' customer support vs. 'level-one' customer support, smaller sales and marketing teams, and the need to provide hosting services.

In addition to the previously announced Cooperation agreement this year, the Company is currently in late stage discussions and negotiations with a number of strategic business partners and enterprise-sized customers, including major regional and country telecommunications providers, Fortune 500 retailers and 'affiliate' groups.

Specific terms of the relationships and agreements will remain confidential for competitive reasons. However, agreements are expected to continue to support a transition from a license model to a multi-year model with subscriptions, m-commerce revenue sharing and advertising revenues.

Need for Additional Capital

To become profitable and competitive, and execute strategic transactions, we may have to raise additional capital. If we are unable to raise additional equity capital to develop our business and continue earning revenues, we might have to suspend or cease operations and our investors may lose their investment.

We have no assurance that future financings will be available to us on acceptable terms. If financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to continue, develop, or expand our operations. Equity financing could result in additional dilution to existing shareholders.

For the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2016

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On December 31, 2016, we had negative working capital arising from changes in operating assets and liabilities of ($1,652,295) compared with a working capital of $755,247 on December 31, 2015. The increase in negative working capital is due to the payments for software development in 2016 Q4 and subsequent expansion of the CreateApp business effective September 1, 2015 and our net profit arising thereon. Net cash generated from operation provided $566,948 in the twelve months ended December 31, 2016. Financing activities provided $1,434,963 in the twelve months ended December 31, 2016.

We expect to continue utilizing our personnel in Greater Asia, including ASEAN and India for servicing our customers. In order to accelerate the growth of the Company, we will also consider raising additional funding from investors.

We may not have enough working capital to complete our plan of operations. If it turns out that we have not raised enough capital to complete our anticipated business development, we will use our best efforts to raise additional funds from private placements or loans. There is no assurance that we will raise additional capital in the future or that future financings will be available to us on acceptable terms. If we require additional capital and are unable to raise it, we may have to suspend or cease operations.

Revenue Recognition

Historically, the Company recognized revenue from providing hosting and integration services and licensing the use of its technology platform to its customers. The Company recognizes revenue when all of the following conditions are satisfied: (1) there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement; (2) the service has been provided to the customer (for licensing, revenue is recognized when the Company’s technology is used to provide hosting and integration services); (3) the amount of fees to be paid by the customer is fixed or determinable; and (4) the collection of fees is probable. Integration and development revenue is recognized when integration or development was completed and accepted by the customer. Monthly hosting fees are recognized when billed.

On September 1, 2015, Weyland Tech acquired the exclusive proprietary rights to the CreateApp M-commerce platform from Technopreneurs Resource Centre Private Limited, a Singapore Limited company ("TRC") which was satisfied by the issuance of shares in the Company in exchange for a ‘Global Exclusive Licensing’ agreement. Weyland Tech, owns the rights to the 'CreateApp’ mobile applications ("apps") platform and have also registered the www.createapp.com domain name.

The Company's CreateApp platform generates sales to SMB’s on a monthly licensing basis (direct sales model) as well as through 'resellers of the platform (reseller model) and country/market specific

partnerships whereby our business partner rebrands the CreateApp platform under their own branding (white label sales model).

Results of Operation for the Fiscal Year ended December 31, 2016

Service Revenue

Service revenues were $ 12,942,353 and $2,553,992 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The increase is due to a full-year of operation for the CreateApp platform during 2016 as well as additional subscription sales through existing Cooperation agreements, new subscriptions sold to existing customers and subscriptions sold directly to new customers.

Cost of Service

Cost of service was $7,817,973 and $1,552,258 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The increase reflects a full-year of operation for CreateApp platform during 2016 as well as growth in clients served and one-time pass-through expense related to purchase of equipment for deployment by a customer. This expense was offset by revenue of the same amount in the transaction.

Other income comprise license and royalty fee income received from our Cooperation agreements for CreateApp of $181,391 (2015: nil).

Operating Expenses

General and administrative: General and administrative expenses were $988,686 and $184,680 for the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The increase reflects a full-year of operation for CreateApp platform during 2016 as well as additional headcount hired during last quarter of 2016. Included in General and administrative expenses was Amortization of development cots capitalized of $351,933 (2015: $83,333)

Research and Development: Research and development expenses expensed amounts to $ 2,928,947. This represents software development costs written off of $2,338,714 incurred for the development of CreateApp Version 3.0 prior to its launch and research and development expense of $ 339,971 representing amounts paid to our software development business partner based in India, and includes third party research and development expenses of $250,262 for 1st and 2nd quarter 2016 development cost of CreateApp and Korean game modification & shipping module build out. (2015:Nil)

Stock-based compensatio n

The Stock-based compensation expenses are $nil and $8,960 respectively for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015.

Net Income

The Company had a net profit of $566,948 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 as compared to a net profit $733,721 for the year ended December 31, 2015. The increase in the net income is due to recognition of deferred tax asset arising from loss carry-forwards and due to increased sales from Cooperation agreements and recurring customer income.

Included in net profit is a bad debt provision $698,736 for the year 2014 brought forward on the legacy data storage business of the company.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Weyland Tech Inc

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Weyland Tech Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

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

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the results of its operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Weyland Tech Inc.

DECEMBER 31, 2016 AND 2015

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS DESCRIPTION

Weyland Tech, specializes in providing e-commerce solutions and services that facilitate multi-channel B2C (business-to-consumer) and B2B (business-to-business) transactions. Its solutions and services enabled e-commerce transactions with speed and efficiency, and allowed an interactive and engaging customer experience as well as targeted marketing and advertising.

The Company expects to continue development of its platform through a Cooperation agreement in Jaipur, India where costs are competitively lower than more developed countries.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis to reflect the financial position and results of operations of the Company in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management makes its best estimate of the ultimate outcome for these items based on historical trends and other information available when the financial statements are prepared. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

CERTAIN RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The Company relies on cloud based hosting through a global accredited hosting provider. Management believes that alternate sources are available; however, disruption or termination of this relationship could adversely affect our operating results in the near-term.

SEGMENT REPORTING

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by our chief operating decision maker, or decision making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.

The Company specializes in providing e-commerce solutions and services that facilitate multi-channel B2C (business-to-consumer) and B2B (business-to-business) transactions. We identify our reportable segments as those customer groups that represent more than 10% of our combined revenue or gross profit or loss of all reported operating segments. We manage our business on the basis of the one reportable segment e-commerce solutions and service provider. The accounting policies for segment reporting are the same as for the Company as a whole. We do not segregate assets by segments since our chief operating decision maker, or decision making group, does not use assets as a basis to evaluate a segment’s performance.

F-6

IDENTIFIABLE INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Identifiable intangible assets are recorded at cost and are amortized over 3-10 years. Similar to tangible property and equipment, the Company periodically evaluates identifiable intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

The Company classifies its long-lived assets into: (i) computer and office equipment; (ii) furniture and fixtures, (iii) leasehold improvements, and (iv) finite – lived intangible assets.

Long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be fully recoverable. It is possible that these assets could become impaired as a result of technology, economy or other industry changes. If circumstances require a long-lived asset or asset group to be tested for possible impairment, the Company first compares undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by that asset or asset group to its carrying value. If the carrying value of the long-lived asset or asset group is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, an impairment is recognized to the extent that the carrying value exceeds its fair value. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow models, relief from royalty income approach, quoted market values and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary.

The Company makes various assumptions and estimates regarding estimated future cash flows and other factors in determining the fair values of the respective assets. The assumptions and estimates used to determine future values and remaining useful lives of long-lived assets are complex and subjective. They can be affected by various factors, including external factors such as industry and economic trends, and internal factors such as the Company’s business strategy and its forecasts for specific market expansion.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND CONCENTRATION OF RISK

Accounts receivable, net is stated at the amount the Company expects to collect, or the net realizable value. The Company provides a provision for allowances that includes returns, allowances and doubtful accounts equal to the estimated uncollectible amounts. The Company estimates its provision for allowances based on historical collection experience and a review of the current status of trade accounts receivable. It is reasonably possible that the Company’s estimate of the provision for allowances will change.

The Company’s CreateApp business effective 1 September 2015 is based on a nil accounts receivable balance as subscriptions are collected through a US based payment gateway on a usage basis.

The Company’s legacy data storage business accounts receivable balance was written off at December 31, 2016. As of December 31, 2016, sales included a concentration from a major customer although accounts receivable had a nil balance (2015: $722,700). For the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had sales in excess of 10% of $12,566,093 and $2,356,501 with two major customers, respectively.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash and cash equivalents represent cash on hand, demand deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments placed with banks, which have original maturities of three months or less and are readily convertible to known amounts of cash.

F-7

EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic (loss) earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period while the effects of potential common shares outstanding during the period are included in diluted earnings per share.

FASB Accounting Standard Codification Topic 260 (“ASC 260”), “Earnings Per Share,” requires that employee equity share options, non-vested shares and similar equity instruments granted to employees be treated as potential common shares in computing diluted earnings per share. Diluted earnings per share should be based on the actual number of options or shares granted and not yet forfeited, unless doing so would be anti-dilutive. The Company uses the “treasury stock” method for equity instruments granted in share-based payment transactions provided in ASC 260 to determine diluted earnings per share. Antidilutive securities represent potentially dilutive securities which are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings or loss per share as their impact was antidilutive.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company recognizes revenue from providing hosting and integration services and licensing the use of its technology platform to its customers. The Company recognizes revenue when all of the following conditions are satisfied: (1) there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement; (2) the service has been provided to the customer (for licensing, revenue is recognized when the Company’s technology is used to provide hosting and integration services); (3) the amount of fees to be paid by the customer is fixed or determinable; and (4) the collection of fees is probable. We account for our multi-element arrangements, such as instances where we design a custom website and separately offer other services such as hosting, which are recognized over the period for when services are performed.

COST OF SERVICE

INCOME TAXES

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). Under this method, income tax expense is recognized as the amount of: (i) taxes payable or refundable for the current year and (ii) future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years 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 the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if based on the weight of available evidence it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In January 2016, the FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The new guidance is intended to improve the recognition and measurement of financial instruments. The new guidance makes targeted improvements to existing U.S. GAAP by: (1) requiring equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting, or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair

F-8

value recognized in net income. Requiring public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; (2) Requiring separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset (i.e., securities or loans and receivables) on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements; (3) Eliminating the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet; and. (4) Requiring a reporting organization to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk (also referred to as “own credit”) when the organization has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments. The new guidance is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not anticipate that this adoption will have a significant impact on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which supersedes the existing guidance for lease accounting, Leases (Topic 840). ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize leases on their balance sheets, and leaves lessor accounting largely unchanged. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted for all entities. ASU 2016-02 requires a modified retrospective approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to elect to use certain transition relief. he Company does not anticipate that this adoption will have a significant impact on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In April 2016, the FASB released ASU 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The ASU includes multiple provisions intended to simplify various aspects of the accounting for share-based payments. While aimed at reducing the cost and complexity of the accounting for share-based payments, the amendments are expected to significantly impact net income, EPS, and the statement of cash flows. Implementation and administration may present challenges for companies with significant share-based payment activities. The ASU is effective for public companies in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those years. The Company does not anticipate that this adoption will have a significant impact on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In April 2016, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing. The amendments clarify the following two aspects of Topic 606: (a) identifying performance obligations; and (b) the licensing implementation guidance. The amendments do not change the core principle of the guidance in Topic 606. The effective date and transition requirements for the amendments are the same as the effective date and transition requirements in Topic 606. Public entities should apply the amendments for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods therein (i.e., January 1, 2018, for a calendar year entity). Early application for public entities is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The Company does not anticipate that this adoption will have a significant impact on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-11 Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815); Rescission of SEC Guidance Because of Accounting Standards Updates 2014-09 and 2014-16 Pursuant to Staff Announcements at the March 3, 2016 EITF Meeting, which is rescinding certain SEC Staff Observer comments that are codified in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and Topic 932, Extractive Activities—Oil and Gas, effective upon adoption of Topic 606. The Company does not anticipate that this adoption will have a significant impact on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

F-9

In May 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12—Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606); Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, which is intended to not change the core principle of the guidance in Topic 606, but rather affect only the narrow aspects of Topic 606 by reducing the potential for diversity in practice at initial application and by reducing the cost and complexity of applying Topic 606 both at transition and on an ongoing basis. The Company does not anticipate that this adoption will have a significant impact on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, to provide guidance on the presentation and classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments on the statement of cash flows. The guidance specifically addresses cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the diversity in practice. The guidance will be effective for the Company in fiscal year 2018, but early adoption is permitted. The Company does not anticipate that this adoption will have a significant impact on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-17, Consolidation (Topic 810): Interest Held through Related Parties That Are under Common Control, to provide guidance on the evaluation of whether a reporting entity is the primary beneficiary of a VIE by amending how a reporting entity, that is a single decision maker of a VIE, treats indirect interests in that entity held through related parties that are under common control. The amendments are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company does not anticipate that this adoption will have a significant impact on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, "Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash". The amendments address diversity in practice that exists in the classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash on the statement of cash flows. The amendment is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not anticipate that this adoption will have a significant impact on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

The Company has considered all new accounting pronouncements and has concluded that there are no new pronouncements that may have a material impact on results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows, based on current information.

ITEM 9A(T). CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e)) under the Exchange Act) that is designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time specified in the Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of the end of the period covered by this report, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our company’s disclosure controls and procedures.

With the appointment on July 15, 2015 of Lionel Choong, our present acting Chief Financial Officer, procedures over the timely reporting of financial quarterly results for the September 2015 quarter were introduced and are being used for the annual reporting of the Company’s annual 10-K. With the current procedures in place, we have increased our ability to identify significant transactions that require disclosure under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. We have enhanced our current procedures and will comply fully with the disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting in fiscal year 2017.

Annual Report of Management on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

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

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

Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and

Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. 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. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.

As of December 31, 2016, management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and based on that evaluation, they concluded that, during the period covered by this report, such internal controls and procedures were effective to detect the inappropriate application of US GAAP rules as more fully described below. This was due to deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal controls over financial reporting that adversely affected our internal controls and that may be considered to be material weaknesses.

The matters involving internal controls and procedures that our management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: (1) lack of a functioning audit committee due to a lack of a majority of independent members and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; and (2) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives. The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified by our prior Chief Executive Officer and prior Chief Financial Officer in connection with the review of our financial statements as of December 31, 2015.

Management believes that the material weakness set forth in item (2) above did not have an effect on our financial results. However, management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee and the lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors results in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures, which could result in a material misstatement in our financial statements in future periods.

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 the management's report in this annual report.
