ORGANIZATIONAL
CHART
The
Company’s corporate structure as of June 30, 2019 is as follows:

SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis
of Presentation
The
consolidated financial statements (“CFS”) were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).
The
consolidated interim financial information as of June 30, 2019 and for the six and three month periods ended June 30, 2019 and
2018 was prepared without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and footnote disclosures,
which are normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP were not included. The interim
consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and the notes thereto, included
in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, previously filed with the SEC.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present a fair statement
of the Company’s consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2019, results of operations for the six and three months
ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, as applicable, were made. The interim
results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future periods.
The
parent company has no operations. Its main activities were incurring expenses arising from its status as a public company in the
United States.
Going
Concern
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements (“CFS”) were prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates
the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. For the six months ended June
30, 2019, the Company had a net loss of $855,262. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $30.73 million as of June 30, 2019.
There can be no assurance that the Company will become profitable or obtain necessary financing for its business or that it will
be able to continue in business. As of June 30, 2019, related parties, including the Company’s chief executive officer,
made advances to the Company of $2.21 million. These issues raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue
as a going concern.
In addition
to develop the current restaurant operation business, the Company is also seeking additional potential assets, properties or businesses
to acquire, in a business combination, by reorganization, merger or acquisition. The plan of operation for the next 12 months
is to: (i) determine which industries in which the Company may have an interest; (ii) adopt a business plan regarding engaging
in the business of any selected industry; and (iii) commence operations through funding a start-up enterprise and/or acquiring
an existing business or entering into a business combination with a “going concern” engaged in any industry selected.
The Company is unable to predict when and if it may actually participate in any specific business endeavor, and the Company will
be unable to do so until it determines the particular industry in which the Company may conduct business operations.
Principles
of Consolidation
The
CFS include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, DB-Link, DBUB Pte and Huantai. All material intercompany accounts,
transactions, balances and profits were eliminated in consolidation.
Currency
Translation
The
reporting currency of the Company is the United States dollar. The accounts of Huantai were maintained, and its financial statements
were expressed RMB and the accounts of DBUB Pte Singapore dollars (SGD), which are the respective functional currency of the subsidiaries.
The Company’s financial statements were translated into United States dollars in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 830-10,
”Foreign
Currency Translation,”
with the RMB and SGD as the functional currency. According to FASB ASC Topic 830-10, assets
and liabilities were translated at the ending exchange rate, stockholders’ equity is translated at the historical rates
and income statement items are translated at the average exchange rate for the year. The resulting translation adjustments are
reported as other comprehensive income in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 220,
”Reporting Comprehensive Income,”
as
a component of shareholders’ equity. Transaction gains and losses are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations
and comprehensive loss.
The
impact of foreign translation from our accounts in RMB and SGD to U.S. dollars on the Company’s operating results was not
material for the six and three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. During the translation process, the assets and liabilities
of all subsidiaries are translated into US dollars at period-end exchange rates. The revenues and expenses are translated into
U.S. dollars at average exchange rates of the periods. Resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a component of accumulated
other comprehensive income within stockholders’ equity

Transaction
gains or losses arising from exchange rate fluctuation on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency
were included in the consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. As a result of the translation, the Company
recorded a foreign currency income of $644 and $86,748 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. As a result of the translation,
the Company recorded a foreign currency income of $11,896 and $253,862 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP 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. These significant accounting estimates
or assumptions bear the risk of change because there are uncertainties attached to these estimates or assumptions, and certain
estimates or assumptions are difficult to measure or value.
Management
bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable in relation to the
financial statements taken as a whole under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about
the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Management regularly evaluates
the key factors and assumptions used to develop the estimates utilizing currently available information, changes in facts and
circumstances, historical experience and reasonable assumptions. After such evaluations, if deemed appropriate, those estimates
are adjusted accordingly. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Business
Combinations
For
a business combination, the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree are recognized
at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date. In a business combination achieved in stages, the identifiable
assets and liabilities, as well as the non-controlling interest in the acquiree, are recognized at the full amounts of their fair
values. In a bargain purchase in which the total acquisition-date fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired exceeds the
fair value of the consideration transferred plus any non-controlling interest in the acquiree, that excess in fair value is recognized
as a gain attributable to the acquirer.
Deferred
tax liability and assets are recognized for the deferred tax consequences of differences between the tax bases and the recognized
values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination in accordance with FASB ASC Subtopic 740-10.
Risks
and Uncertainties
The
Company is subject to risks from, among other things, intense competition associated with the industry in general, other risks
associated with financing, liquidity requirements, rapidly changing customer tastes and requirements, limited operating history,
foreign currency exchange rates and the volatility of public markets as well as other risks associated with the restaurant and
related industries.
In
addition, the Company’s operations are in the PRC and Singapore. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition
and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environments in the PRC and Singapore and by
the general state of the PRC’s and Singapore’s economy. The Company’s business may be influenced by changes
in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance
abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.
Contingencies
The
Company follows subtopic 450-20 of the FASB ASC to report accounting for contingencies. Certain conditions may exist
as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved
when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment
inherently involves an exercise of judgment.
In
assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result
in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived
merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.
If
the assessment of a contingency indicates it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability
can be reasonably estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements.
If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable
but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable
and material, would be disclosed.
Loss
contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would
be disclosed. Management does not believe, based upon information available at this time, that these matters will have a
material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, there is no assurance
that such matters will not materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial position, and results of operations
or cash flows.
Cash
and Equivalents
Cash
and equivalents include cash on hand, demand deposits placed with banks or other financial institutions and all highly liquid
investments with an original maturity of three months or less as of the purchase date of such investments.
Accounts
Receivable, net
The
Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition of accounts
receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and
changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves.
Property
and Equipment, net
Property
and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to earnings as incurred; additions, renewals
and betterments are capitalized. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated
depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations. Depreciation of property
and equipment is provided using the straight-line method for substantially all assets with estimated lives of:

June 30, 2019 and 2018 was $8,769 and $18,639, respectively.
Long-Lived
Assets
The
Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used in accordance with FASB ASC 360, “
Property,
Plant and Equipment,”
which requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when
indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the
assets’ carrying amounts. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the
fair value (“FV”) of the long-lived assets. Losses on long-lived assets to be disposed of are determined in a similar
manner, except that FV are reduced for the cost of disposal. Based on its review, the Company believes that, as of June 30, 2019
and December 31, 2018, there were no significant impairments of its long-lived assets not related to the discontinued operations.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
For
certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and equivalents, accrued liabilities and accounts payable,
carrying amounts approximate their FV due to their short maturities. FASB ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments,”
requires disclosure of the FV of financial instruments held by the Company. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets
for current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of their FVs because of the short
period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and the current market rate of interest.
Fair
Value Measurements and Disclosures
FASB
ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” defines FV, and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy
for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for FV measures. The three levels are defined
as follow:
•
|
Level
1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
|
|
|
•
|
Level
2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs
that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial
instrument.
|
|
|
•
|
Level
3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the FV measurement.
|
As of
June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, the Company did not identify any assets and liabilities that are required to be presented
on the balance sheet at FV.
Revenue Recognition
In
May 2014 the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which
supersedes all existing revenue recognition requirements, including most industry-specific guidance. This new standard requires
a company to recognize revenues when it transfers goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration
that the company expects to receive for those goods or services. The FASB subsequently issued the following amendments to ASU
No. 2014-09 that have the same effective date and transition date: ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic
606): Principal versus Agent Considerations; ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance
Obligations and Licensing; ASU No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical
Expedients; and ASU No. 2016-20, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.
The
new revenue standards became effective for the Company on January 1, 2018, and were adopted using the modified retrospective method.
The adoption of the new revenue standards as of January 1, 2018 did not change the Company’s revenue recognition as the
Company does not have any revenue yet. As the Company will not identify any accounting changes that impacted the amount of reported
revenues with respect to its product revenues, no adjustment to retained earnings will be required upon adoption.
Under
the new revenue standards, the Company recognizes revenues when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in
an amount that reflects the consideration which it expects to receive in exchange for those goods. The Company recognizes revenues
following the five step model prescribed under ASU No. 2014-09: (i) identify contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance
obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations
in the contract; and (v) recognize revenues when (or as) we satisfy the performance obligation.
General
and Administrative Expenses
General
and administrative expenses are comprised principally of payroll and benefits costs for corporate employees, occupancy costs of
corporate facilities, lease expenses, management fees, traveling expenses and other operating and administrative expenses, including
freight charges, purchase and delivery costs, internal transfer freight charges and other distribution costs.
Share
Based Payment
The
Company accounts for share-based compensation to employees in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation –
Stock Compensation”, which requires that share-based payment transactions with employees be measured based on the grant-date
FV of the equity instrument issued and recognized as compensation expense over the requisite service period.
The
Company accounts for share-based compensation awards to non-employees in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 and FASB ASC Subtopic
505-50, “Equity-Based Payments to Non-employees”. Share-based compensation associated with the issuance of equity
instruments to non-employees is measured at the FV of the equity instrument issued or committed to be issued, as this is more
reliable than the FV of the services received. The FV is measured at the date that the commitment for performance by the counterparty
has been reached or the counterparty’s performance is complete.
Income
Taxes
Income
taxes are accounted for using an asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax
consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts
at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates, applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected
to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected
to be realized.
The
Company follows ASC Topic 740, which prescribes a more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement
of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC Topic 740 also provides guidance on recognition of income
tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest
and penalties associated with tax positions, accounting for income taxes in interim periods, and income tax disclosures.
Under
the provisions of ASC Topic 740, when tax returns are filed, it is likely that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination
by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the
position that would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period
during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained
upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated
with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount
of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The
portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as
a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties
that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. Interest associated with unrecognized tax benefits are classified
as interest expense and penalties are classified in selling, general and administrative expenses in the statements of income.
At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company did not take any uncertain positions that would necessitate recording a tax
related liability.
DBUB
is subject to U.S. corporate income taxes on its taxable income at a rate of up to 21% for taxable years beginning after December 31,
2017 and U.S. corporate income tax on its taxable income of up to 35% for prior tax years. On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cut and
Jobs Act (“Tax Act”) was signed into law. The Tax Act introduced a broad range of tax reform measures that significantly
changed the federal income tax laws. The provisions of the Tax Act that may have significant impact on the Company, including
the permanent reduction of the corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% effective for tax years including or commencing on January
1, 2018, one-time transition tax on post-1986 foreign unremitted earnings, provision for Global Intangible Low Tax Income (“GILTI”),
deduction for Foreign Derived Intangible Income (“FDII”), repeal of the corporate alternative minimum tax, limitation
of various business deductions, and modification of the maximum deduction of net operating loss with no carryback but indefinite
carryforward provision. Many provisions in the Tax Act are generally effective in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017.
Taxpayers may elect to pay the one-time transition tax over eight years, or in a single lump-sum payment.
To
the extent that portions of its U.S. taxable income, such as Subpart F income or GILTI, are determined to be from sources outside
of the U.S., subject to certain limitations, the Company may be able to claim foreign tax credits to offset its U.S. income tax
liabilities. Any remaining liabilities are accrued in the Company’s consolidated statements of comprehensive income and
estimated tax payments are made when required by U.S. law.
The
Act also created new taxes on certain foreign-sourced earnings such as global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”)
under IRC Section 951A, which is effective for the Company for tax years beginning after January 1, 2018. For the three months
ended March 31, 2019, the Company has calculated its best estimate of the impact of the GILTI in its income tax provision in accordance
with its understanding of the Act and guidance available as of the date of this filing.
Basic
and Diluted Earnings (Loss) per Share
The
Company presents net income (loss) per share (“EPS”) in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earning Per Share.” Basic
EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS
is computed similar to basic EPS except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that
would have been outstanding if all the potential common shares, warrants and stock options had been issued and if the additional
common shares were dilutive. Diluted EPS is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options and
warrants were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method for the outstanding options and
warrants, and the if-converted method for the outstanding convertible instruments. Under the treasury stock method, options and
warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later) and as if funds obtained
thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. Under the if-converted method, outstanding
convertible instruments are assumed to be converted into common stock at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance,
if later). During the six and three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, there is no any diluted shares, nor any shares, options
or warrants that were anti-dilutive.
Statement
of Cash Flows
In
accordance with FASB ASC Topic 230, “Statement of Cash Flows”, cash flows from the Company’s operations are
calculated based upon local currencies. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash
flows may not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet. Cash from operating, investing
and financing activities is net of assets and liabilities acquired.
Concentration
of Credit Risk
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are cash, accounts receivable, advances to suppliers
and other receivables arising from its normal business activities. The Company places its cash in what it believes to be credit-worthy
financial institutions. Since the Company has not generated any revenues or commenced operations in its continuing business, the
Company cannot evaluate the risk of a concentration of credit risk.
Segment Reporting
FASB
ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” requires use of the “management approach” model for segment reporting.
The management approach model is based on the way a company’s management organizes segments within the company for making
operating decisions and assessing performance. Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure,
management structure, or any other manner in which management disaggregates a company. Following the Company’s disposal
of its existing business in 2018, the Company has one operating segment, the restaurant business, which has not generated any
revenues for the six and three months ended June 30, 2019.
Leases
On January 1, 2019, the Company
adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (ASU 2016-02), as amended, which supersedes the lease accounting
guidance under Topic 840, and generally requires lessees to recognize operating and financing lease liabilities and corresponding
right-of-use (ROU) assets on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months and to provide enhanced disclosures
surrounding the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leasing arrangements. Leases will be classified as either
finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. A modified retrospective
transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning
of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. The Company
concluded the adoption of this new AUS did not have a material impact to the Company’s CFS due to the Company does not have
any lease that is longer than 12 months.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In
June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), which requires entities to measure
all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions,
and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement
of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods
within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early application will be permitted for all entities for fiscal
years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the
impact that the standard will have on its CFS.
In
June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, “Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee
Share-Based Payment Accounting,” which expands the scope of ASC 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring
goods and services from non-employees. An entity should apply the requirements of ASC 718 to non-employee awards except for specific
guidance on inputs to an option pricing model and the attribution of cost. The amendments specify that ASC 718 applies to all
share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own
operations by issuing share-based payment awards. The new guidance is effective for SEC filers for fiscal years, and interim reporting
periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019 (i.e., January 1, 2020, for calendar year entities). Early
adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the effects of the adoption of this guidance and currently believes that it will
impact the accounting of the share-based awards granted to non-employees.
Other
recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants, and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present
or future CFS.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Intangible
assets consisted of 1) vehicle license fee. Shanghai City controls the number of automobiles to prevent heavy traffic jam and
issues certain number of vehicle licenses plate each year by auction, the Company needs to win the auction and pay for the vehicle
