and agreed not to engage in hedging transactions with regard to such securities unless in compliance with the Act.
Accounting
Treatment; Change of Control
The
Business Combination is being accounted for as a “reverse acquisition,” and Tang Dynasty is deemed to be the acquirer.
Consequently, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that will be reflected in the financial statements prior
to the Business Combination will be those of Tang Dynasty and its consolidated subsidiaries and will be recorded at the historical
cost basis of Tang Dynasty, and the consolidated financial statements after consummation of the Business Combination will include
the assets and liabilities of Tang Dynasty, historical operations of Tang Dynasty, and operations of IMGL and its subsidiaries

We
continue to be a “smaller reporting company,” as defined under the Exchange Act, following the Business Combination.
We believe that, as a result of the Business Combination, we have ceased to be a “shell company” (as that term is
defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act).
DESCRIPTION
OF BUSINESS
Overview
Immediately
following the Business Combination, the business of Yangshuo County Xing Yuan Lead-Zine Mine Co., Ltd. (“Yangshuo”)
is to engage in waste management, recycling of tailing and mining of lead-zinc concentrates.
Corporate
Information
As
described above, we were incorporated in Nevada on July 25, 2005. Since incorporation and prior to the Business Combination, we
were a “shell company” (as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act).
As
a result of the Business Combination, we acquired the business of Yangshuo and have ceased to be a shell company.
Our
principal executive offices are located at suites 502 and 503 on the 5

Corporate
History and Structure
Incorporation
and Structure of IMGL
Image
International Group, Inc. (“IMGL”) was initially incorporated in the state of Nevada on July 25, 2005 under the name
of Eardley Ventures. On April 21, 2008, the Company’s name, Eardley Ventures, was changed to Owlhead Minerals Corp in order
to more appropriately reflect the Company’s business plan. On December 23, 2014, Owlhead Minerals Corp. filed an Amendment
to it Articles of Incorporation with the Nevada Secretary of State, changing its name from Owlhead Minerals Corp. to Image
International Group, Inc. and increasing its authorized capital from 100,000,000 common shares with a par value of $0.001 to 1,000,000,000
shares common shares with a par value of $0.001.
In
September 2016, IMGL engaged a geologist, along with a consultant, to conduct a first-hand examination of several promising claims
near Quesnel, British Columbia. This prospect turned out to be a potentially good placer development but without hard rock potential.
IMGL decided to turn down the opportunity.
Finally
in December 2016, IMGL was presented with a group of claims (“cells”) known as the Teako property. The Teako cells
are located half way between Terrace and Smithers, British Columbia and are near the original gold rush town of Hazelton B.C.
which was founded in 1866, the site of the original gateway and staging area for the famous Omineca Gold rush days of 1869-1873.
Initially,
a total of 20 cells were acquired totaling 296 hectares (approx. 730 acres). After preliminary examination of the area, IMGL came
to the conclusion that the area appeared to have significant potential. Therefore, IMGL’s management requested that the
Prospector/Vendor stake more cells adjacent or adjoining the original claim group on behalf of IMGL. An additional 2577 hectares
(approx. 6368 acres) were staked, bringing our land package to a total of 2873 hectares, or about 7098 acres. The cells have good
access to many miles of new logging roads that have recently been opened up in the area.
In
addition, IMGL added 735.45 acres (“Surprise” claims) just to the north east of our Teako claims.
IMGL
acquired the initial cells for a cash payment of US$10,000 and 1.5-million restricted shares, which are subject to a long-term
hold. The additional cells were staked on behalf of IMGL.
IMGL is an exploration stage company and its
principal business is the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. The Company is currently seeking a new business opportunity.
On January 15, 2018, IMGL entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Tang Dynasty Investment Group Limited. Tang Dynasty
Investment Group Limited is a limited liability company incorporated on March 22, 2017 under the laws of Hong Kong, Special Administrative
Region, China. Prior to the Share Exchange Agreements, all its 10,000 issued and outstanding shares, par value $0.128 (HK$1) per
share, were owned by Hoi Ming Chan, Yuk Kiu Chan, Herman Cheuk Kau
Kwong
,
Kwok Leung Lee, Ni Qin, and Ping Chan.
Incorporation
and Structure of Tang Dynasty
Tang

Shenzhen
Gu Yue Environmental Protection Technology Co. Ltd. was incorporated on November 8, 2010 as a domestic company in the PRC. It
was then acquired by Tang Dynasty Investment Group Limited, a Hong Kong company on November 29, 2017 for a consideration of $1,513,065
(“RMB 10 million”) and became a wholly owned subsidiary of Tang Dynasty. Simultaneously, it was converted to a Wholly
Foreign-Owned Enterprise (“WFOE”). On December 5, 2017, Gu Yue obtained a controlling interest of Yangshuo through
a series of contractual agreements including Exclusive Business Cooperation Agreement, Exclusive Option Agreement, Power of Attorney
and Equity Pledge Agreement.
Incorporation
and Structure of Yangshuo County Xing Yuan Lead-Zinc Mine Co. Ltd.
Yangshuo
County Xing Yuan Lead-Zinc Mine Co. Ltd. (“Yangshuo”) is located in Xingping Town, the junction of Yangshuo, Gongcheng
and Lingchuan. The company is 21 km away from Xingping Town and 47 km away from Yangshuo. Yangshuo is a joint-stock enterprise
established in the former State-owned Yangshuo County Lead-Zinc Mine, which formed in January 2002. So far, there are approximately
50 shareholders. In the past, Yangshuo had the capacity to deal with 150 tons per day of mining. It was the largest industrial
and mining enterprise in Yangshuo County, which represented 10% of the revenue of Yangshuo County. Its traditional business mining
of lead-zinc has been diminished and idled. Since 2017, Yangshuo has been exploring business opportunities in engaging the business
of mine tailings. In late 2017, it has entered into a series of contractual agreements with Gu Yue (see discussion under “Contractual
arrangements between Gu Yue and Yangshuo” below). At present, Yangshuo is in a process of obtaining a mining certificate
from the governmental agencies.
Yangshuo’s
facilities are located in Yangshuo County Office and in the county Dongling, cover 4,000 square meters of land in total, and our
office is located at the North Menger, cover more than 400 square meters of land. The commercial use is high, and there is great
possibility of appreciation.
As
of September 30, 2017, the value of Yangshuo’s properties and land use rights is approximately valued at $2.1 million (RMB
14 million) by Grant Sherman Appraisal Limited, our independent valuation specialist with its principal executive office
in Hong Kong (website:

Our
Recycling of Mine Tailings Business
After
Business Combination, we plan to engage in mine tailings, particularly lead-zinc mine tailings recycling business in China through
our operating entity Yangshuo. Being part of China’s solid waste recycling industry, Chinese mine tailing recycling market
has huge potential. As rapid economic growth and population growth led to increased solid waste in recent years, the inadequate
solid waste treatment capacity and pollution issues have become two of the most important environmental issues for the Chinese
government and industry players. According to green money journal’s report, to address the solid waste issues, the Chinese
government will invest RMB 2-4 trillion in the solid waste recycling industry during the “Thirteenth Five-Year Plan”.
As a result, some industry experts and experienced entrepreneurs predicted that the sand tailings industry can further promote
the environmental protection industry in the next five years. Given that potential growth in the sand tailings industry, we plan
to follow this market trend and invest our efforts into engaging in the lead-zinc mine tailings recycling business.
Chinese
Mine Tailing Recycling Market
In
recent years, China Ministry of Science and Technology and the National Development and Reform Commission organized and developed
a series of comprehensive utilization research of Jinchuan, Baotou Baiyun Ebo mine, Panzhihua vanadium-chromium magnetite mines.
The research results indicated that valuable minerals could be recycled through the comprehensive utilization of tailings and
generate significant economic benefits. Since this recovery, a number of companies started their mine tailing recycling business
and achieved economic success. For example, Jiangxi Copper Company re-concentrated and recovered 1,000 tons of sulfur concentrate,
9.2 tons of copper, 40kg of gold annually from copper mine tailings produced by the copper mine located in Dexing, China. Australian
Bo Green Resources Company recovered significant amount of raw gold from Henan Yintongpo’s gold mine tailings, which has
been proven to stored more than 2 million tons of gold.
In
addition to valuable mineral recovering, the tailings also can be converted to fertilizers, concrete additives, brick making and
downhole filling materials.
Yangshuo’s
Project of Lead-Zinc Mine Tailing Recycling
Our
proposed project is based on the comprehensive reutilization of the valuable elements: lead and zinc of the mine tailings, and
the remaining tailings are used for fertilizers, concrete additives, brick making and downhole filling materials.
We
are currently seeking to engage in mining of lead-zinc tailings in Xing Ping Town. Due to the traffic inconvenience and the lack
of mineral processing technology at that time, the present tailings dam has yet to be developed and retains high-quality resources.
According to the inspection result of local surveying and mapping bureau, the content of the valuable minerals in the lead-zinc
mine is high, and the average qualities of those exceeds the boundary grade of the lead-zinc mine, which has great comprehensive
utilization value. At present, Yangshuo is in a process of obtaining a mining certificate from the governmental agencies.
Our
Planned Sand Tailing Process
First,
pump sand tailings by a sand pump from the tail sand reserve to a primary treatment pond.
Second,
sift tailings in a roll sieve in the primary treatment pond and pump the qualified tailings into divided buckets, and then assign
to each spiral chute for further sorting. Unqualified tailings are discharged to a belt conveyor from the roll sieve, and then
transferred to the ball mill for grinding. The grinded tailings are re-transferred to the roll sieve for further sifting. These
form a closed loop system.
Third,
the qualified tailings which have been sorted in the first spiral chute (second step above) are sent to the next level of spiral
chute and have them sorted again. After that, the qualified tailings with enriched metal will be sent to the next level spiral
chute for selections. Then the selected qualified tailings with enriched lead-zinc content will be transported to the mine concentrator
for further processing and detoxification. The processed and detoxified tailings with enriched lead-zinc content will be dispensed
and ready to be used for industrial purpose.
Fourth,
the selected tailings from step three above will be discharged to a concentration tank for concentration treatment. The concentrated
tailings are infiltrated through the filter. The filtering process produces dry sand which contains moisture content at approximately
12%. The dry sand will be transported to the brick factory for brick production.
Fifth,
water discharged from the concentration tank and filter are mixed and transported back to the primary treatment pond, then pump
them to the tail sand pump through water pump and get ready for reuse. The recycled water in the return basin supplies water for
the entire production process.

IMGL
has been engaged in acquisition of gemstone and other precious mineral resources since 2014. Our subsidiary, Yangshuo, has
engaged in lead-zinc mining industry since 1958. In 1967, after built a small re-election plant, thus it transformed into
semi-mechanized mining. In 1975, it converted into flotation plant production and produced 100 tons per day.The existing
150 tons per day mine processing model is designed and constructed by Guangxi Industrial Design Institute (the former Guangxi
Metallurgical Design Institute) in 1984, and put into operation in 1988. IMGL believes that its extensive experience in mining
production can provide technical skills in transitioning its traditional mining business to sand tailings business.

Environmental-friendly
operations
|

Historically,
the tailings have been ground to 0.15-0.07mm particles and stored in the dam or the nearby river, valleys, low ground. The
rivers and valleys were occasionally overflown with the accumulated tailings which could seriously contaminate the
water and soil. Due to the heavy rainfall or natural disaster, tailings dam disaster frequently occurred. Our tailing recycling
process provides an effective method to solve the problem of tailing contamination. The processed tailings can be used as
fertilizers, concrete additives, brick making and construction materials. Since those processed tailings have been detoxified,
the utilization of tailings resources not only extends the life of the mine ore but also offer the environment-friendly construction
products.

As
China became increasingly aware of its environmental problem, The Government of the People’s Republic of China has consistently
promoted and enforced various environmental protection polices in recent years. Given that our recycling process of tailings
enables us to reuse the mineral wastes and convert them to reusable materials for construction, agricultural and industrial
uses. The government has provided substantive subsidies in environmental protection related industries and business.
|
Competition
We
plan to be the pioneer in processing of sand tailing reserve in the Yangshuo county and the nearby vicinity of Guangxi Province.
Within Yangshuo County, we do not have any relative competitors in the lead-zinc tailing since we are the largest lead-zinc mining
operator in the vicinity. Nationally, we may face competition from dozens of competitors of varying sizes and geographic reach,
who operate their businesses similar to our planned business. Our sales could be reduced significantly if our competitors develop
and market products that are more effective, more convenient, or are less expensive than our products. We believe that we have
differentiated ourselves from our potential competitors due to several factors. We strive to refine our sand tailings recycling
process to keep it innovative and efficient. We have a physical presence in key location such as Yangshuo County, which enables
us to meet our customers’ demands at a speed that supersedes the competition.
We
will focus on regional markets during the initial phrase of our sand tailing business and plan to sell our products to the customers
nationwide within the People’s Republic of China in a near future.

Drive
Financial Performance through Operational Excellence
We
continue to pursue a consistent operational focus on prudent cost management and pricing discipline to drive profitability. To
optimize the cost of tailing process, we have entered into an operational agreement with Fortune Deluxe Limited, a Hong Kong company
on November 15, 2017. The agreement provides that Fortune Deluxe Limited utilizes its advanced tailing technologies and machinery
in the tailing process. Further, we continue to seek to increase operating margins, and cash flow from operations and drive higher
returns on invested capital by implementing programs focused on areas such as sales productivity and pricing effectiveness, driver

business is affected by global, national and local economic conditions since the services we provide are discretionary and we
depend, to a significant extent, upon a number of factors relating to discretionary consumer spending in Hong Kong and Mainland
China. These factors include economic conditions and perceptions of such conditions by Traders, employment rates, the level of
Traders’ disposable income, business conditions, interest rates, availability of credit and levels of taxation in regional
and local markets. There can be no assurance that our services will not be adversely affected by changes in general economic conditions
in China and globally.
The
mining waste recycling market is influenced over time by the overall strength and stability of the global economy and the financial
markets, although this correlation may not be immediately evident. In addition, political conditions and world events may affect
our business through their effect on the economies, as well as on the willingness of potential buyers and sellers to invest and
sell art in the wake of economic uncertainty.
A
decline in trading volumes will decrease our trading revenues.
Trading
volumes are directly affected by economic, political and market conditions, broad trends in business and finance, unforeseen market
closures or other disruptions in trading, the level and volatility of interest rates, inflation, changes in price levels of artworks
and the overall level of investor confidence. In recent years, trading volumes across our markets have fluctuated depending on
market conditions and other factors beyond our control. Because a significant percentage of our revenues are tied directly to
the trading volumes on our markets, it is likely that a general decline in trading volumes would lower revenues and may adversely
affect our operating results. Declines in trading volumes may also impact our market share or pricing structures and adversely
affect our business and financial condition.
System
limitations or failures could harm our business.
Our
businesses depend on the integrity and performance of the technology, computer and communications systems supporting them. If
our systems cannot expand to cope with increased demand or otherwise fail to perform, we could experience unanticipated disruptions
in service, slower response times and delays in the introduction of new services. These consequences could result financial losses
and decreased customer service and satisfaction. If trading volumes increase unexpectedly or other unanticipated events occur,
we may need to expand and upgrade our technology, transaction processing systems and network infrastructure. We do not know whether
we will be able to accurately project the rate, timing or cost of any increases, or expand and upgrade our systems and infrastructure
to accommodate any increases in a timely manner.
A
variety of uncontrollable events may reduce our ability to provide our trading services, impair our ability to provide our services
or increase the cost of providing our services.
Our
headquarters are in Hong Kong SAR and our servers are in Hong Kong SAR, Macau and mainland China, which are historically susceptible
to adverse weather conditions such as typhoons, excessive heat or rain, earthquakes and floods. Those natural disasters may result
in significant and extensive damage to our network equipment. Moreover, certain countries and regions, including China, have encountered
incidents of the H5N1 strain of bird flu, or avian flu, as well as severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS, over the past several
years and, in 2009, the outbreak of influenza A (H1N1). In 2010, an earthquake registering 7.1 on the Richter scale struck Qinghai
Province. In April 2013, another major earthquake registering 7.0 on the Richter scale struck Ya’an region of Sichuan Province.
In 2013, certain areas of China suffered from severe floods. We are unable to predict the effect, if any, that any other future
natural disasters and health hazards may have on our business. Any future natural disasters and health hazards may, among other
things, significantly disrupt our ability to adequately staff our business, and may generally disrupt our operations. Furthermore,
natural disasters and health hazards may severely restrict the level of economic activities in affected areas, which may in turn
materially adversely affect our business and prospects. As a result, any natural disasters or health hazards in China may have
a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. These events and others, such as fluctuations
in energy costs and computer virus attacks, intrusions or other widespread computing or telecommunications failures, may also
damage our ability to provide our services or to obtain insurance coverage with respect to these events.
We
have insufficient insurance coverage
We
presently do not have any insurance to cover certain events such as physical damage to our office premises and resulting business
interruption, certain injuries occurring on our property and liability for breach of legal responsibilities as we believe, based
on our organization, business model and the remote possibility of the incurrence of substantial damages from such events, that
the costs of such insurance greatly exceeds the benefits of having it. However, in the possible event of a significant loss from
such an event, this may severely impact our performance or continue as a going concern.
The
success of our business depends on our ability to market and advertise the services we provide effectively.
Our
ability to establish effective marketing campaigns is the key to our success. Our advertisements promote our corporate image and
our services. If we are unable to increase awareness of our brand, the benefits of using our trading platform to invest in artwork
and that such investment is secure, we may not be able to attract new Traders. Our marketing activities may not be successful
in promoting our services or in retaining and increasing our Trader base. We cannot assure you that our marketing programs will
be adequate to support our future growth, which may result in a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
If
we are unable to renew the lease of our property, our operations may be adversely affected.
We
do not directly own the land over the property we lease. We may lose our leases or may not be able to renew it when it is due
on terms that are reasonable or favorable to us. This may have adverse impact on our operations, including disrupting our operations
or increasing our cost of operations.
We
are currently involved as a third party in an administrative litigation in which our right to use certain part of the land we
own was challenged. See “Business - Legal Proceedings.” The outcome of such administrative litigation may materially
adversely affect our business, financial condition, and/or operating results and may continue without resolution for long periods
of time. Although we believe the outcome of this litigation will ultimately be in our favor, administrative litigation is subject
to inherent uncertainties and management’s view of these matters may change in the future.
The
failure to manage growth effectively could have an adverse effect on our employee efficiency, product quality, working capital
levels, and results of operations.
Any
significant growth in the market for our services or our entry into new markets may require an expansion of our employee base
for managerial, operational, financial, and other purposes. As of the date of this report, we had approximately 19 full time employees.
During any growth, we may face problems related to our operational and financial systems and controls, including quality control
and delivery and service capacities. We would also need to continue to expand, train and manage our employee base. Continued future
growth will impose significant added responsibilities upon the members of management to identify, recruit, maintain, integrate,
and motivate new employees.
Aside
from increased difficulties in the management of human resources, we may also encounter working capital issues, as we will need
increased liquidity to finance the purchase of supplies, development of new products and services, and the hiring of additional
employees. For effective growth management, we will be required to continue improving our operations, management, and financial
systems and controls. Our failure to manage growth effectively may lead to operational and financial inefficiencies that will
have a negative effect on our profitability. We cannot assure investors that we will be able to timely and effectively meet that
demand and maintain the quality standards required by our existing and potential customers.
If
we need additional capital to fund our growing operations, we may not be able to obtain sufficient capital and may be forced to
limit the scope of our operations.
If
adequate additional financing is not available on reasonable terms, we may not be able to undertake our expansion plan and we
would have to modify our business plans accordingly. There is no assurance that additional financing will be available to us.
In
connection with our growth strategies, we may experience increased capital needs and accordingly, we may not have sufficient capital
to fund our future operations without additional capital investments. Our capital needs will depend on numerous factors, including
(i) our profitability; (ii) the release of competitive products by our competitors; (iii) the level of our investment in research
and development; and (iv) the amount of our capital expenditures, including acquisitions. We cannot assure you that we will be
able to obtain capital in the future to meet our needs.
If
we cannot obtain additional funding, we may be required to: (i) limit our investments in research and development; (ii) limit
our marketing efforts; and (iii) decrease or eliminate capital expenditures. Such reductions could materially adversely affect
our business and our ability to compete.
Even
if we do find a source of additional capital, we may not be able to negotiate terms and conditions for receiving the additional
capital that are acceptable to us. Any future capital investments could dilute or otherwise materially and adversely affect the
holdings or rights of our existing stockholders. In addition, new equity or convertible debt securities issued by us to obtain
financing could have rights, preferences and privileges senior to our Common Stock. We cannot give you any assurance that any
additional financing will be available to us, or if available, will be on terms favorable to us.
We
are dependent on certain key personnel and loss of these key personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition and results of operations.
Our
success is, to a certain extent, attributable to the management and operational and technical expertise of certain key personnel,
especially our CEO, Mr. Hoi Ming Chan. In addition, we will require an increasing number of experienced and competent executives
and other members of senior management to implement our growth plans. If we lose the services of any member of our senior management,
we may not be able to locate suitable or qualified replacements, and may incur additional expenses to recruit and train new personnel,
which could severely disrupt our business and prospects.
We
are dependent on a trained workforce and any inability to retain or effectively recruit such employees, particularly distribution
personnel and regional retail managers for our business, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition
and results of operations.
We
must attract, recruit and retain a sizeable workforce of qualified and trained staff to operate our business. Our ability to implement
effectively our business strategy and expand our operations will depend upon, among other factors, the successful recruitment
and retention of highly skilled and experienced distribution personnel, regional retail managers and other technical and marketing
personnel. There is significant competition for qualified personnel in our business and we may not be successful in recruiting
or retaining sufficient qualified personnel consistent with our current and future operational needs.
Our
financial results may fluctuate because of many factors and, as a result, investors should not rely on our historical financial
data as indicative of future results.
Fluctuations
in operating results or the failure of operating results to meet the expectations of public market analysts and investors may
negatively impact the market price of our securities. Operating results may fluctuate in the future due to a variety of factors
that could affect revenues or expenses in any particular quarter. Fluctuations in operating results could cause the value of our
securities to decline. Investors should not rely on comparisons of results of operations as an indication of future performance.
As result of the factors listed below, it is possible that in future periods results of operations may be below the expectations
of public market analysts and investors. This could cause the market price of our securities to decline. Factors that may affect
our quarterly results include:
|
-
|
vulnerability
of our business to a general economic downturn in Hong Kong and mainland China;
|
|
|
|
|
-
|
fluctuation
and unpredictability of the prices of the products we sell;
|
|
|
|
|
-
|
changes
in the laws of Hong Kong that affect our operations; and
|
|
|
|
|
-
|
our
ability to obtain necessary government certifications and/or licenses to conduct our business.

Risks
Related to Doing Business in Hong Kong
The
Hong Kong legal system embodies uncertainties which could limit the legal protections available to you and us.
The
Hong Kong legal system is a civil law system based on written statutes. The overall effect of legislation over the past approximately
25 years has significantly enhanced the protections afforded to various forms of foreign investment in Hong Kong. However, these
laws, regulations and legal requirements change frequently, and their interpretation and enforcement involve uncertainties. For
example, we may have to resort to administrative and court proceedings to enforce the legal protection that we enjoy either by
law or contract. However, since Hong Kong administrative and court authorities have significant discretion in interpreting and
implementing statutory and contractual terms, it may be more difficult to evaluate the outcome of administrative and court proceedings
and the level of legal protection we enjoy than in more developed legal systems. For example, these uncertainties may impede our
ability to enforce the contracts we have entered into. In addition, such uncertainties, including the inability to enforce our
contracts, could materially and adversely affect our business and operation. In addition, intellectual property rights and confidentiality
protections in Hong Kong may not be as effective as in the United States or other countries. Accordingly, we cannot predict the
effect of future developments in the Hong Kong legal system, including the promulgation of new laws, changes to existing laws
or the interpretation or enforcement thereof, or the preemption of local regulations by national laws. These uncertainties could
limit the legal protections available to us, including our ability to enforce our agreements with our customers.
Foreign
Exchange Risk.
While
our reporting currency is USD, our revenues, costs and expenses are denominated in RMB and HKD. All of our assets are denominated
in HKD and RMB. As a result, we are exposed to foreign exchange risk as our revenues and results of operations may be affected
by fluctuations in the exchange rate between USD and HKD as well as USD and RMB. If the HKD or RMB depreciates against USD, the
value of our RMB and HKD revenues, earnings and assets as expressed in our USD financial statements will decline. To date, we
have not entered into any foreign exchange forward contracts or similar instruments to attempt to mitigate our exposure to change
in foreign currency rates.
Future
inflation in Hong Kong may inhibit our ability to conduct business profitably.
In
recent years, the Hong Kong economy has experienced periods of rapid expansion and high rates of inflation. High inflation may
in the future cause the Hong Kong government to impose controls on credit and/or prices, or to take other action, which could
inhibit economic activity in Hong Kong, and thereby harm the market for our services.
It
will be extremely difficult to acquire jurisdiction and enforce liabilities against our officers, directors and assets based in
Hong Kong.
Substantially
all of our assets will be located in Hong Kong and our officers and our present directors reside outside of the United States,
except the Chief Financial Officer As a result, it may not be possible for United States investors to enforce their legal rights,
to effect service of process upon our directors or officers or to enforce judgments of United States courts predicated upon civil
liabilities and criminal penalties of our directors and officers under Federal securities laws.
We
may have difficulty establishing adequate management, legal and financial controls in Hong Kong, which could impair our planning
processes and make it difficult to provide accurate reports of our operating results.
Although
we will be required to implement internal controls, we may have difficulty in hiring and retaining a sufficient number of qualified
employees to work in Hong Kong in these areas. As a result of these factors, we may experience difficulty in establishing the
required controls, making it difficult for management to forecast its needs and to present the results of our operations accurately
at all times. If we are unable to establish the required controls, market makers may be reluctant to make a market in our stock
and investors may be reluctant to purchase our stock, which would make it difficult for you to sell any shares of common stock
that you may own or acquire.
Because
our funds are held in banks which do not provide insurance, the failure of any bank in which we deposit our funds could affect
our ability to continue in business.
Banks
and other financial institutions in Hong Kong do not provide insurance for funds held on deposit. The Hong Kong Deposit Protection
Board manages and supervises the operation of the Deposit Protection Scheme, which protects deposit amounts up to only USD 64,433
(HK$500,000). As a result, in the event of a bank failure, we may not have access to funds on deposit. Depending upon the amount
of money we maintain in a bank that fails, our inability to have access to our cash could impair our operations, and, if we are
not able to access funds to pay our employees and other creditors, we may be unable to continue in business.
Since
we are a Hong Kong company, you will not have certain investor rights as our shareholder, such as the right to bring legal action
against other shareholders on behalf of the company.
Tang
Dynasty, our operational subsidiary, is incorporated in Hong Kong. The Hong Kong Companies Ordinance (Chapter 622 of the Laws
of Hong Kong), or the Companies Ordinance, does not provide for any right for our shareholders, including our significant shareholders,
to bring legal action against any other shareholder on our behalf to enforce any claim against such party or parties if we fail
to enforce such claim ourselves.
Our
investors do not have the benefit to rely on the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board inspection of our independent registered
public accounting firm.
As
a company registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, and traded publicly in the United States, our
independent registered public accounting firm is required by the laws of the United States to be registered with the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board, or the PCAOB, and undergo regular inspections by the PCAOB to assess its compliance with the laws
of the United States and professional standards. The PCAOB, however, is currently unable to inspect a registered public accounting
firm’s audit work relating to a company’s operations in Hong Kong where the documentation of such audit work is located
in Hong Kong. Accordingly, our independent registered public accounting firm’s audit of our operations in Hong Kong is not
subject to the PCAOB inspection. As a result, our investors do not have the benefit of the PCAOB inspection of our independent
registered public accounting firm’s audit works and quality control procedures.
Risks
Relating to Investment in Our Securities
An
active public market for our common stock may not develop or be sustained, which would adversely affect the ability of our investors
to sell their securities in the public market.
We
cannot predict the extent to which an active public market for our common stock will develop or be sustained.
Shares
eligible for future sale may adversely affect the market price of our common stock, as the future sale of a substantial amount
of outstanding stock in the public marketplace could reduce the price of our common stock.
Holders
of a significant number of our shares and/or their designees may be eligible to sell our shares of common stock by means of ordinary
brokerage transactions in the open market pursuant to Rule 144, promulgated under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”),
subject to certain limitations. In general, pursuant to Rule 144, a non-affiliate stockholder (or stockholders whose shares are
aggregated) who has satisfied a six-month holding period, and provided that there is current public information available, may
sell all of its securities. Rule 144 also permits the sale of securities, without any limitations, by a non-affiliate that has
satisfied a one-year holding period. Any substantial sale of common stock pursuant to any resale prospectus or Rule 144 may have
an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock by creating an excessive supply.
If
we fail to maintain effective internal controls, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud,
and our business, financial condition, results of operations and reputation could be materially and adversely affected.
We
will become a public company upon completion of the private placement and our internal control will be essential to the integrity
of our business and financial results. Our public reporting obligations are expected to place a strain on our management, operational
and financial resources and systems in the foreseeable future. In preparation for this offering, we have implemented measures
to enhance our internal controls, and plan to take steps to further improve our internal controls. If we encounter difficulties
in improving our internal controls and management information systems, we may incur additional costs and management time in meeting
our improvement goals. We cannot assure you that the measures taken to improve our internal controls will be effective. If we
fail to maintain effective internal controls in the future, our business, financial condition, results of operations and reputation
may be materially and adversely affected.
Compliance
with changing regulation of corporate governance and public disclosure will result in additional expenses.
Changing
laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure, including SOX and related SEC regulations,
have created uncertainty for public companies and significantly increased the costs and risks associated with accessing the public
markets and public reporting. Our management team will need to invest significant management time and financial resources to comply
with both existing and evolving standards for public companies, which will lead to increased general and administrative expenses
and a diversion of management time and attention from revenue generating activities to compliance activities.
We
do not foresee paying cash dividends in the near future.
We
do not plan to declare or pay any cash dividends on our shares of common stock in the foreseeable future and currently intend
to retain any future earnings for funding growth. As a result, investors should not rely on an investment in our securities if
they require the investment to produce dividend income.
CAUTIONARY
STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This
report contains certain statements that may be deemed “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of United States
of America securities laws. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, that address activities, events or developments
that we intend, expect, project, believe or anticipate and similar expressions or future conditional verbs such as will, should,
would, could or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. Such statements are based upon certain assumptions and
assessments made by our management in light of their experience and their perception of historical trends, current conditions,
expected future developments and other factors they believe to be appropriate.
These
statements include, without limitation, statements about our anticipated expenditures, including those related to general and
administrative expenses; the potential size of the market for our services, future development and/or expansion of our services
in our markets, our ability to generate revenues, our ability to obtain regulatory clearance and expectations as to our future
financial performance. Our actual results will likely differ, perhaps materially, from those anticipated in these forward-looking
statements as a result of various factors, including: our need and ability to raise additional cash. The forward-looking statements
included in this report are subject to a number of additional material risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to the
risks described in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The
following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with our financial
statements and the related notes to those statements included in this filing. In addition to historical financial information,
this discussion may contain forward-looking statements reflecting our current plans, estimates, beliefs and expectations that
involve risks and uncertainties. As a result of many important factors, particularly those set forth under “Special Note
Regarding Forward-Looking Statements”, our actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from those anticipated
in these forward-looking statements.
Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Yangshuo County Xing Yuan Lead-Zinc Mine Co. Ltd.
Overview
Yangshuo
County Xing Yuan Lead-Zinc Mine Co., Ltd. (“Yangshuo”) was incorporated on January 22, 1996 under the laws of the
People’s Republic of China. Yangshuo primarily engages in lead, zinc and copper mining ore and generates revenue through
the sales of processed lead, zinc and copper to customers primarily in Guangxi province. It is located in Xingping Town, the junction
of Yangshuo, Gongcheng and Lingchuan. Yangshuo is a joint-stock enterprise established in the former State-owned Yangshuo County
Lead-Zinc Mine and there are approximately 50 shareholders.
Yangshuo
has a long history of lead, zinc and copper mining. In recent years, the Chinese government implemented and enforced environmental
protection policy and the drawbacks of the joint-back cooperative system impacted the production efficiency and management of
Yangshuo, its traditional business of mining of lead, zinc and copper has been idled in recent years. Since there was a considerable
amount of mineral resources particularly in lead-zinc tailing reserve, Yangshuo has been exploring business opportunities in the
processing of lead-zinc tailings. At present, Yangshuo is in a process of obtaining a mining certificate from governmental agencies.
During
this transition period, Yangshuo made its building and land available for lease and entered into operating leases with individual
and business lessees. The leases with individual lessees expire over the next 1 to 3 year(s) and the leases with commercial lessees
expire over the next 2 to 4 years.
Significant
Accounting Policies
Basis
of Presentation
The
financial statements of Yangshuo have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United
States of America. This basis of accounting involves the application of accrual accounting and consequently, revenues and gains
are recognized when earned, and expenses and losses are recognized when incurred. Yangshuo’s financial statements are expressed
in U.S. dollars.
Use
of Estimates and Assumptions
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimate
and assumptions that impact the presented amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
at the date of the financial statements and the presented amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results may
differ from those estimates. Significant estimates during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 include the collectability
of receivables, the useful lives of long-lived assets and intangibles, assumptions used in assessing impairment of long-lived
assets, valuation of accruals for expenses and tax due.
Going
concern consideration
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern basis. The going-concern basis assumes that
assets are realized and liabilities are extinguished in the ordinary course of business at amounts disclosed on the financial
statements. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern depends on the liquidation of its current assets. As of
September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company has incurred a comprehensive loss of $11,225 and $175,914 respectively and
a negative working capital of $934,965 and $883,688 respectively. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the ability of
the Company to continue as a going concern.
In
an effort to continue as a going concern, Yangshuo has entered into a series of contractual agreements with Shenzhen Gu Yue Environmental
Protection Technology Co. Ltd. (“Gu Yue”), a PRC company on December 5, 2017. Based on these agreements, Gu Yue obtained
the controlling interest of Yangshuo and provides operational, management, marketing, technological and other support services
to Yangshuo’s tailing reserve and sand mix business. The shareholder may also continue to raise fund through private placement
or issuance of shares to support the operational needs. Management believes that the foregoing actions would enable Yangshuo to
continue as a going concern.
Foreign
Currency Translation
The
reporting currency of Yangshuo is the U.S. dollar. Yangshuo use the local currency, Renminbi (RMB), as their functional currency
as determined based on the criteria of ASC 830, “Foreign Currency Translation”. Assets and liabilities are translated
at the unified exchange rate as quoted by the U.S. Federal Reserve at the end of the period. Income and expense accounts are translated
at the average translation rates and the equity accounts are translated at historical rates. Translation adjustments resulting
from this process are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in the statement of equity. Transaction gains and losses
that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included
in the results of operations as incurred. Translation adjustments included in accumulated other comprehensive gain/(loss) amounted
to 41,620, $(73,921) and $(51,940) as of September 30, 2017, December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Cash
and Cash Equivalents
Yangshuo
considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Yangshuo maintains with various financial institutions in the PRC. As of September 30, 2017, December 31, 2016 and 2015, cash
balances held in PRC banks are uninsured. Yangshuo has not experienced any losses in bank accounts and believes it is not exposed
to any risks on its cash in bank accounts.
Financial
Instrument
The
carrying amount reported in the balance sheet for cash, other receivables, accrued liabilities and other payables approximate
fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments.
Plant,
Property and Equipment
Plant,
property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Gains and losses on dispositions
of property and equipment are included in operating income (loss). Major additions, renewals and improvements are capitalized,
while maintenance and repairs are recognized as expense as incurred.
Depreciation
is provided over the estimated useful life of each class of depreciable assets and is computed using the straight-line method
over the useful lives of the assets are as follows:
Classification
|
Estimated
useful life
|
Buildings
|
Over
the lease term
|
Intangibles
Intangible
assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization.
Yangshuo
accounts for its significant leases of land use rights for purposes of classification of operating or capital. At the inception
of the lease agreements, Yangshuo will classify the leases as capital leases under ASC 840-30 if (a) transfer of ownership to
lessee at the end of the lease term, (b) bargain purchase option, (c) the lease term equals to or exceeds 75% of economic life
of the leased property, and/or (d) present value of minimum lease payments exceeds 90% of fair value of the lease property. Otherwise,
the leases will be classified as operating leases.
Intangible
assets with finite useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis that align with it economic benefits of the intangible
assets to be consumed. The original estimated useful life for the land use rights of Yangshuo ranged from 38 to 70 years stipulated
on the lease term.
Intangible
assets are reviewed at least annually to determine whether there are any circumstances arisen that may trigger the impairment
of their carrying values. Management considers intangible assets to be impaired if their carrying value exceeds the future projected
cash flows from the perspective operations. Management also evaluates the periods of amortization to identify if any subsequent
events or conditions that warrant revised estimates of useful lives.
Impairment
of Long-lived Assets
Long-lived
assets, including buildings and intangible assets with finite lives are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances (such as a significant adverse change to market conditions that will impact the future use of the assets) indicate
that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Yangshuo assesses the recoverability of the assets based on the undiscounted
future cash flows the assets are expected to generate and recognize an impairment loss when estimated discounted future cash flows
expected to result from the use of the asset plus net proceeds expected from disposition of the asset, if any, are less than the
carrying value of the asset. When Yangshuo identifies an impairment, Yangshuo reduces the carrying amount of the asset to its
estimated fair value based on a discounted cash flows approach or, when available and appropriate, to comparable market values.
As of the period ended September 30, 2017, fiscal years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, management determined that there was
no impairment.
Fair
Values of Financial Instruments
ASC
Topic 825, Financial Instruments (“Topic 825”) requires disclosure of fair value information of financial instruments,
whether or not recognized in the balance sheets, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. In cases where quoted market
prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques
are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard,
the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be
realized in immediate settlement of the instruments. Topic 825 excludes certain financial instruments and all non-financial assets
and liabilities from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts do not represent the underlying
value of the Company.
The
accounting standards define fair value, establish a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement
and enhance disclosure requirements for fair value 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 assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.
Level
3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.
Yangshuo
considers the carrying amount of cash, other receivables and other short-term payables, to approximate their fair values because
of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization.
Comprehensive
Income (Loss)
Other
comprehensive income (loss) refers to revenues, expenses, gains and losses that under generally accepted accounting principles
are included in comprehensive income (loss) but are excluded from net income (loss) as these amounts are recorded directly as
an adjustment to stockholders’ equity. Yangshuo’s other comprehensive income (loss) is comprised of foreign currency
translation adjustments.
Revenue
Recognition
Yangshuo
recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 605, Revenue Recognition, regarding revenue recognition which specifies that revenue
is realized or realizable and earned. Sales revenue is recognized at the date the shipment to customers when a formal arrangement
exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery is completed, Yanghshuo has no other obligations and collectability is
reasonably assured. Payment received before all the relevant criteria are recorded as customer advance.
Yangshuo
sells the products of lead and zinc ore mining to industrial users and/or construction companies in primarily Yangshuo county,
Guangxi province of the PRC. Sales agreements are signed with some of the major customers. The agreements provide specific terms
and conditions with the exception of delivery date and quantity, which are provided when customers requested orders. Yangshuo
does not sell products on a consignment basis. There is no right of return or exchange after products are delivered and accepted
by customers.
Operating
revenue of Yangshuo represents the selling price of the products on invoice, net of a value-added tax (“VAT”).
During
the transition period of Yangshuo exploring business opportunities, it made its land and buildings available for release. Rental
income attributable to residential and commercial leases is recorded on a straight-line basis, which is not materially different
than if it were recorded when due from residents and recognized monthly as it was earned. Leases entered into between a resident
and a property for the rental of a unit are generally year-to-year, renewable upon consent of both parties on an annual or monthly
basis.
Concentration
of Risk
Credit
Risk
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash
equivalents and other accounts receivable. As of September 30, 2017, December 31, 2016 and 2015, $756,039(RMB 5,041,643), $14,886
(RMB 103,350) and $31,513 (RMB 204,133) were deposited with various major financial institutions located in the PRC, respectively.
While management believes that these financial institutions are of high credit quality, it also continually monitors their credit
worthiness. Historically, deposits in Chinese banks are secure due to state policy to protect depositor interests. However, China
promulgated a Bankruptcy Law in August 2006 that came into effect on June 1, 2007, which contains a separate article expressly
stating that the State Council may promulgate implementation measures to provide for the bankruptcy of Chinese banks based on
the Bankruptcy Law. Under the current Bankruptcy Law, a Chinese bank may file bankruptcy if it deems itself to be insolvent. In
addition, since China’s concession to the World Trade Organization, foreign banks have been gradually permitted to operate
in China and have intensified competition in many aspects, especially since the opening of the Renminbi business to foreign banks
in late 2006. Therefore, the risk of bankruptcy at the institutions that the Company maintains deposits has increased. In the
event of bankruptcy, the Company is unlikely to reclaim its deposits in full since it is unlikely to be classified as a secured
creditor under PRC laws.
Other
accounts receivable consists of rental receivable and deposit paid. They are typically unsecured and rental receivable are derived
from revenue earned from lessee, thereby exposed to credit risk. The risk is mitigated by the Company’s assessment
of its lessees’ creditworthiness and its ongoing monitoring of outstanding balances. The Company maintains reserves
for estimated credit losses, and such losses have generally been within expectations.
Income
Taxes
Yangshuo
accounts for income taxes using the liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based
on the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be
in effect in the period in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance against deferred
tax assets 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. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that
includes the enactment date.
Yangshuo
applies ASC 740,
Accounting for Income Taxes
, to account for uncertainty in income taxes and the evaluation of a tax position
is a two-step process. The first step is to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained
upon examination, including the resolution of any related appeals or litigation based on the technical merits of that position.
The second step is to measure a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not threshold to determine the amount of benefit
to be recognized in the financial statements. A tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than
50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Tax positions that previously failed to meet the more-likely-than-not
recognition threshold should be recognized in the first subsequent period in which the threshold is met. Previously recognized
tax positions that no longer meet the more-likely-than-not criteria should be de-recognized in the first subsequent financial
reporting period in which the threshold is no longer met.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncement
The
FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-01, Income Statement - Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20):
Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items.
The FASB issued this ASU as part of its initiative to reduce complexity in accounting standards.
The objective of the simplification initiative is to identify, evaluate, and improve areas of U.S. GAAP for which cost and complexity
can be reduced while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to the users of financial statements.
This ASU eliminates from U.S. GAAP the concept of extraordinary items. Subtopic 225-20, Income Statement
- Extraordinary and Unusual Items, required that an entity separately classify, present, and disclose extraordinary events and
transactions. Presently, an event or transaction is presumed to be an ordinary and usual activity of the reporting entity unless
evidence clearly supports its classification as an extraordinary item.
If an event or transaction meets the criteria for extraordinary classification, an entity is required
to segregate the extraordinary item from the results of ordinary operations and show the item separately in the income statement,
net of tax, after income from continuing operations. The entity also is required to disclose applicable income taxes and either
present or disclose earnings-per-share data applicable to the extraordinary item.
The FASB heard from stakeholders that the concept of extraordinary items causes uncertainty because
it is unclear when an item should be considered both unusual and infrequent. Additionally, some stakeholders said that although
users find information about unusual or infrequent events and transactions useful, they do not find the extraordinary item classification
and presentation necessary to identify those events and transactions. Other stakeholders noted that it is extremely rare in current
practice for a transaction or event to meet the requirements to be presented as an extraordinary item.
This ASU will also align more closely U.S. GAAP income statement presentation guidance with IAS
1, Presentation of Financial Statements, which prohibits the presentation and disclosure of extraordinary items.
The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal
years, beginning after December 15, 2015. A reporting entity may apply the amendments prospectively. A reporting entity also may
apply the amendments retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted provided
that the guidance is applied from the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The effective date is the same for both public
business entities and all other entities.
The
FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-04, Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Practical Expedient
for the Measurement Date of an Employer’s Defined Benefit Obligation and Plan Assets. For an entity with a fiscal year-end
that does not coincide with a month-end, the amendments in this ASU provide a practical expedient that permits the entity to measure
defined benefit plan assets and obligations using the month-end that is closest to the entity’s fiscal year-end and apply
that practical expedient consistently from year to year. The practical expedient should be applied consistently to all plans if
an entity has more than one plan. Employee benefit plans are not within the scope of the amendments.
If
a contribution or significant event (such as a plan amendment, settlement, or curtailment that calls for a re-measurement in accordance
with existing requirements) occurs between the month-end date used to measure defined benefit plan assets and obligations and
an entity’s fiscal year-end, the entity should adjust the measurement of defined benefit plan assets and obligations to
reflect the effects of those contributions or significant events. However, an entity should not adjust the measurement of defined
benefit plan assets and obligations for other events that occur between the month-end measurement and the entity’s fiscal
year-end that are not caused by the entity (e.g., changes in market prices or interest rates).
If
an entity applies the practical expedient and a contribution is made between the month-end date used to measure defined benefit
plan assets and obligations and the entity’s fiscal year-end, the entity should not adjust the fair value of each class
of plan assets for the effects of the contribution. Instead, the entity should disclose the amount of the contribution to permit
reconciliation of the total fair value of all the classes of plan assets in the fair value hierarchy to the ending balance of
the fair value of plan assets.
An
entity is required to disclose the accounting policy election and the date used to measure defined benefit plan assets and obligations
in accordance with the amendments in this ASU.
The
amendments are effective for public business entities for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for financial statements
issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2017. Earlier application is permitted. The amendments should be applied prospectively.
IFRS
does not have a practical expedient that permits an entity to measure defined benefit plan assets and obligations as of the month-end
that is closest to the entity’s fiscal year-end (or the month-end that is closest to the date of a significant event that
occurred in an interim period), whereas the amendments in this Update provide that practical expedient.
The
FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-10, Technical Corrections and Improvements. The amendments cover a
wide range of Topics in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ (Codification). The amendments generally fall into one
of the types of amendments listed below.
1.
Amendments Related to Differences between Original Guidance and the Codification. These amendments arose because of differences
between original guidance (e.g., FASB Statements, EITF Issues, and so forth) and the Codification. These amendments principally
carry forward pre-Codification guidance or subsequent amendments into the Codification. Many times, either the writing style or
phrasing of the original guidance did not directly translate into the Codification format and style. As a result, the meaning
of the guidance might have been unintentionally altered. Alternatively, amendments in this section may relate to guidance that
was codified without some text, references, or phrasing that, upon review, was deemed important to the guidance.
2.
Guidance Clarification and Reference Corrections. These amendments provide clarification through updating wording, correcting
references, or a combination of both. In most cases, the feedback suggested that, without these enhancements, guidance may be
misapplied or misinterpreted.
3.
Simplification. These amendments streamline or simplify the Codification through minor structural changes to headings or minor
editing of text to improve the usefulness and understandability of the Codification.
4.
Minor Improvements. These amendments improve the guidance and are not expected to have a significant effect on current accounting
practice or create a significant administrative cost to most entities.
The
amendments represent changes to clarify the Codification, correct unintended application of guidance, or make minor improvements
to the Codification that are not expected to have a significant effect on current accounting practice or create a significant
administrative cost to most entities. In addition, some of the amendments will make the Codification easier to understand and
easier to apply by eliminating inconsistencies, providing needed clarifications, and improving the presentation of guidance in
the Codification.
Transition
guidance varies based on the amendments. The amendments that require transition guidance are effective for all entities for fiscal
years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted, including
adoption in an interim period. All other amendments will be effective upon issuance.
The
FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of
the Effective Date.
In
May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The amendments in ASU 2015-14 defer
the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for all entities by one year. Public business entities, certain not-for-profit entities, and
certain employee benefit plans should apply the guidance in ASU 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15,
2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting
periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period.
All
other entities should apply the guidance in ASU 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim
reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. All other entities may apply the guidance
in ASU 2014-09 earlier as of an annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods
within that reporting period. All other entities also may apply the guidance in ASU 2014-09 earlier as of an annual reporting
period beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning one year after
the annual reporting period in which the entity first applies the guidance in ASU 2014-09.
FASB
Reduces Complexity of Classifying Deferred Taxes on the Balance Sheet. The FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No.
2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, which changes how deferred taxes are classified
on organizations’ balance sheets.
The
ASU eliminates the current requirement for organizations to present deferred tax liabilities and assets as current and noncurrent
in a classified balance sheet. Instead, organizations will be required to classify all deferred tax assets and liabilities as
noncurrent.
The
amendments apply to all organizations that present a classified balance sheet. For public companies, the amendments are effective
for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual
periods. For private companies, not-for-profit organizations, and employee benefit plans, the amendments are effective for financial
statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after
December 15, 2018.
On
February 25, 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued its new lease accounting guidance in Accounting Standards
Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842).
Under
the new guidance, lessees will be required recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at
the commencement date:
-A
lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis;
and
-A
right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset
for the lease term.
Under
the new guidance, lessor accounting is largely unchanged. Certain targeted improvements were made to align, where necessary, lessor
accounting with the lessee accounting model and Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.
The
new lease guidance simplified the accounting for sale and leaseback transactions primarily because lessees must recognize lease
assets and lease liabilities. Lessees will no longer be provided with a source of off-balance sheet financing.
Public
business entities should apply the amendments in ASU 2016-02 for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim
periods within those fiscal years (i.e., January 1, 2019, for a calendar year entity). Nonpublic business entities should apply
the amendments for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 (i.e., January 1, 2020, for a calendar year entity), and interim
periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early application is permitted for all public business entities
and all nonpublic business entities upon issuance.
Lessees
(for capital and operating leases) and lessors (for sales-type, direct financing, and operating leases) must apply a modified
retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period
presented in the financial statements. The modified retrospective approach would not require any transition accounting for leases
that expired before the earliest comparative period presented. Lessees and lessors may not apply a full retrospective transition
approach.
The
FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus
Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net). The amendments relate to when another party, along with the entity,
is involved in providing a good or service to a customer. Topic 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers requires an entity to
determine whether the nature of its promise is to provide that good or service to the customer (i.e., the entity is a principal)
or to arrange for the good or service to be provided to the customer by the other party (i.e., the entity is an agent).
The
amendments are intended to improve the operability and understandability of the implementation guidance on principal versus agent
considerations by clarifying the following:
-An
entity determines whether it is a principal or an agent for each specified good or service promised to a customer.
-An
entity determines the nature of each specified or service (e.g., whether it is a good, service, or a right to a good or service).
-When
another entity is involved in providing goods or services to a customer, an entity that is a principal obtains control of: (a)
a good or another asset from the other party that it then transfers to the customer; (b) a right to a service that will be performed
by another party, which gives the entity the ability to direct that party to provide the service to the customer on the entity’s
behalf; or (c) a good or service from the other party that it combines with other goods or services to provide the specified good
or service to the customer.
-The
purpose of the indicators in paragraph 606-10-55-39 is to support or assist in the assessment of control. The amendments in paragraph
606-10-55-39A clarify that the indicators may be more or less relevant to the control assessment and that one or more indicators
may be more or less persuasive to the control assessment, depending on the facts and circumstances.
The
amendments amend certain existing illustrative examples and add additional illustrative examples to assist in the application
of the guidance.
The
effective date and transition of these amendments is the same as the effective date and transition of ASU 2014-09, Revenue from
Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). Public entities should apply the amendments in ASU 2014-09 for annual reporting periods
beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods therein (i.e., January 1, 2018, for a calendar year entity).
Private entities must apply the amendments one year later.
The
FASB has 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 effective date for nonpublic entities is deferred by one year.
Identifying
Performance Obligations
Before
an entity can identify its performance obligations in a contract with a customer, the entity first identifies the promised goods
or services in the contract. The amendments add the following guidance:
1.
An entity is not required to assess whether promised goods or services are performance obligations if they are immaterial in the
context of the contract with the customer.
2.
An entity is permitted, as an accounting policy election, to account for shipping and handling activities that occur after the
customer has obtained control of a good as an activity to fulfill the promise to transfer the good rather than as an additional
promised service.
To
identify performance obligations in a contract, an entity evaluates whether promised goods and services are distinct. The amendments
improve the guidance on assessing the promises are separately identifiable criterion by:
1.
Better articulating the principle for determining whether promises to transfer goods or services to a customer are separately
identifiable by emphasizing that an entity determines whether the nature of its promise in the contract is to transfer each of
the goods or services or whether the promise is to transfer a combined item (or items) to which the promised goods and/or services
are inputs.
2.
Revising the related factors and examples to align with the improved articulation of the separately identifiable principle.
Licensing
Implementation Guidance
Topic
606 includes implementation guidance on determining whether an entity’s promise to grant a license provides a customer with
either a right to use the entity’s intellectual property (which is satisfied at a point in time) or a right to access the
entity’s intellectual property (which is satisfied over time). The amendments are intended to improve the operability and
understandability of the licensing implementation guidance by clarifying the following:
1.
An entity’s promise to grant a customer a license to intellectual property that has significant standalone functionality
(e.g., the ability to process a transaction, perform a function or task, or be played or aired) does not include supporting or
maintaining that intellectual property during the license period.
2.
An entity’s promise to grant a customer a license to symbolic intellectual property (that is, intellectual property that
does not have significant standalone functionality) includes supporting or maintaining that intellectual property during the license
period.
3.
An entity considers the nature of its promise in granting a license, regardless of whether the license is distinct, in order to
apply the other guidance in Topic 606 to a single performance obligation that includes a license and other goods or services (in
particular, the guidance on determining whether a performance obligation is satisfied over time or at a point in time and the
guidance on how best to measure progress toward the complete satisfaction of a performance obligation satisfied over time).
The
FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements
and Practical Expedients. The amendments do not change the core revenue recognition principle in Topic 606. The amendments provide
clarifying guidance in certain narrow areas and add some practical expedients. These amendments are effective at the same date
that Topic 606 is effective. Topic 606 is effective for public entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December
15, 2017, including interim reporting periods therein (i.e., January 1, 2018, for a calendar year entity). Topic 606 is effective
for nonpublic entities one year later. Following is a summary of the clarifying guidance and practical expedients in the amendments.
Assessing
the Collectability Criterion in Paragraph 606-10-25-1(e) and Accounting for Contracts That Do Not Meet the Criteria for Step 1
(Applying Paragraph 606-10-25-7).
The amendments clarify the objective of the collectability criterion in Step 1. The objective
of this assessment is to determine whether the contract is valid and represents a substantive transaction on the basis of whether
a customer has the ability and intention to pay the promised consideration in exchange for the goods or services that will be
transferred to the customer. The amendments also add a new criterion to paragraph 606-10-25-7 to clarify when revenue would be
recognized for a contract that fails to meet the criteria in Step 1. That criterion allows an entity to recognize revenue in the
amount of consideration received when the entity has transferred control of the goods or services, the entity has stopped transferring
goods or services (if applicable) and has no obligation under the contract to transfer additional goods or services, and the consideration
received from the customer is nonrefundable.
Presentation
of Sales Taxes and Other Similar Taxes Collected from Customers.
The amendments permit an entity, as an accounting policy
election, to exclude amounts collected from customers for all sales (and other similar) taxes from the transaction price.
Noncash
Consideration.
The amendments specify that the measurement date for noncash consideration is contract inception. The amendments
also clarify that the variable consideration guidance applies only to variability resulting from reasons other than the form of
the consideration.
Contract
Modifications at Transition.
The amendments provide a practical expedient that permits an entity to reflect the aggregate
effect of all modifications that occur before the beginning of the earliest period presented when identifying the satisfied and
unsatisfied performance obligations, determining the transaction price, and allocating the transaction price to the satisfied
and unsatisfied performance obligations.
Completed
Contracts at Transition.
The amendments clarify that a completed contract for purposes of transition is a contract for which
all (or substantially all) of the revenue was recognized under legacy GAAP before the date of initial application. Accounting
for elements of a contract that do not affect revenue under legacy GAAP are irrelevant to the assessment of whether a contract
is complete. In addition, the amendments permit an entity to apply the modified retrospective transition method either to all
contracts or only to contracts that are not completed contracts.
Technical
Correction.
The amendments clarify that an entity that retrospectively applies the guidance in Topic 606 to each prior reporting
period is not required to disclose the effect of the accounting change for the period of adoption. However, an entity is still
required to disclose the effect of the changes on any prior periods retrospectively adjusted.
The
FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain
Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, to address diversity in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified
in the statement of cash flows.
The
amendments provide guidance on the following eight specific cash flow issues:
|
●
|
Debt
Prepayment or Debt Extinguishment Costs;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
Settlement
of Zero-Coupon Debt Instruments or Other Debt Instruments with Coupon Interest Rates That Are Insignificant in Relation to
the Effective Interest Rate of the Borrowing;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
Contingent
Consideration Payments Made after a Business Combination;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
Proceeds
from the Settlement of Insurance Claims;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
Proceeds
from the Settlement of Corporate-Owned Life Insurance Policies, including Bank-Owned;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
Life
Insurance Policies;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
Distributions
Received from Equity Method Investees;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
Beneficial
Interests in Securitization Transactions; and
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
Separately
Identifiable Cash Flows and Application of the Predominance Principle.
|
The
amendments are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods
within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2018, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption
in an interim period.
The
amendments should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. If it is impracticable to apply
the amendments retrospectively for some of the issues, the amendments for those issues would be applied prospectively as of the
earliest date practicable.
FASB
Amends the Accounting for Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets.
The FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-16,
Income
Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory
. Current GAAP prohibits the recognition of current
and deferred income taxes for an intra-entity asset transfer until the asset has been sold to an outside party. This prohibition
on recognition is an exception to the principle of comprehensive recognition of current and deferred income taxes in GAAP.
The
amendments require an entity to recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory
when the transfer occurs. The amendments eliminate the exception for an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory.
Two common examples of assets included in the scope of the amendments are intellectual property and property, plant, and equipment.
The
amendments do not include new disclosure requirements; however, existing disclosure requirements might be applicable when accounting
for the current and deferred income taxes for an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory.
The
amendments align the recognition of income tax consequences for intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory with International
Financial Reporting Standards. IAS 12,
Income Taxes
, requires recognition of current and deferred income taxes resulting
from an intra-entity transfer of any asset (including inventory) when the transfer occurs.
The
amendments are effective for public business entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including
interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for annual
reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim reporting periods within annual periods beginning after December
15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for all entities in the first interim period if an entity issues interim financial statements.
The
amendments should be applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings
as of the beginning of the period of adoption.
The
FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-18,
Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash.
The
amendments apply to all entities that have restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents and are required to present a statement
of cash flows. 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
amendments require that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents,
and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. As a result, amounts generally described as
restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period
and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The amendments do not provide a definition of restricted
cash or restricted cash equivalents.
The
amendments are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods
within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2018, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should
be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented.
The
FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-19,
Technical Corrections and Improvements.
The amendments cover
a wide range of Topics in the Accounting Standards Codification. The amendments generally fall into one of the types of categories

Amendments
related to differences between original guidance (e.g., FASB Statements, EITF Issues, etc.) and the Codification. These amendments
principally carry forward pre-Codification guidance or subsequent amendments into the Codification. Many times, either the
writing style or phrasing of the original guidance did not directly translate into the Codification format and style. As a
result, the meaning of the guidance might have been unintentionally altered. Alternatively, amendments in this category may
relate to guidance that was codified without some text, reference, or phrasing that, upon review, was deemed important to
the guidance.

|
|
|
|
●
|
Guidance
clarification and reference corrections that provide clarification through updating wording, correcting references, or a combination
of both. In most cases, the feedback suggested that, without these enhancements, guidance may be misapplied.

|
|

●
|
Simplification
amendments that streamline or simplify the Codification through minor structural changes to headings or minor editing of text
to improve the usefulness and understandability of the Codification.

|
Minor
improvements to the guidance that are not expected to have a significant effect on current accounting practice or create a
significant administrative cost to most entities.

The
FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-20,
Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue
from Contracts with Customers.
The effective date and transition requirements for the amendments are the same as the effective
date and transition requirements for Topic 606. Public entities should apply Topic 606 (and related 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). Nonpublic entities should apply Topic 606 (and related amendments) for an annual reporting period beginning after
December 15, 2018, (i.e., January 1, 2019, for a calendar year entity) and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods
beginning after December 15, 2019.
On
May 28, 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)
. The amendments in ASU
2016-20 affect narrow aspects of the guidance issued in ASU 2014-09 as summarized below.
Issue
1: Loan Guarantee Fees: The amendments clarify that guarantee fees within the scope of Topic 460,
Guarantees
, (other than
product or service warranties) are not within the scope of Topic 606.
Issue
2: Contract Costs - Impairment Testing: The amendments clarify that when performing impairment testing in Subtopic 340-40,
Other
Assets and Deferred Charges – Contracts with Customers
, an entity should: (
a
) consider expected contract renewals
and extensions; and (
b
) include both the amount of consideration it already has received but has not recognized as revenue
and the amount it expects to receive in the future.
Issue
3: Contract Costs - Interaction of Impairment Testing with Guidance in Other Topics: The amendments clarify that impairment testing
first should be performed on assets not within the scope of Topic 340, Topic 350,
Intangibles - Goodwill and Other
, or
Topic 360,
Property, Plant, and Equipment
(e.g., Topic 330,
Inventory
), then assets within the scope of Topic 340,
then asset groups and reporting units within the scope of Topic 360 and Topic 350.
Issue
4: Provisions for Losses on Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts: The amendments
require that the provision for losses be determined at least at the contract level. However,
the amendments allow an entity to determine the provision for losses at the performance
obligation level as an accounting policy election.
Issue
5: Scope of Topic 606: The amendments remove the term
insurance
from the scope exception to clarify that all contracts
within the scope of Topic 944,
Financial Services – Insurance
, are excluded from the scope of Topic 606.
Issue
6: Disclosure of Remaining Performance Obligations: The amendments provide optional exemptions from the disclosure requirement
for remaining performance obligations for specific situations in which an entity need not estimate variable consideration to recognize
revenue. The amendments also expand the information that is required to be disclosed when an entity applies one of the optional
exemptions.
Issue
7: Disclosure of Prior-Period Performance Obligations: The amendments clarify that the disclosure of revenue recognized from performance
obligations satisfied (or partially satisfied) in previous periods applies to all performance obligations and is not limited to
performance obligations with corresponding contract balances.
Issue
8: Contract Modifications Example: The amendments better align Example 7 with the principles in Topic 606.
Issue
9: Contract Asset versus Receivable: The amendments provide a better link between the analysis in Example 38, Case B and the receivables
presentation guidance in Topic 606.
Issue
10: Refund Liability: The amendments remove the reference to the term
contract liability
from the journal entry in Example
40
.
Issue
11: Advertising Costs: The amendments reinstate the guidance on the accrual of advertising costs and move the guidance to Topic
720,
Other Expenses
.
Issue
12: Fixed-Odds Wagering Contracts in the Casino Industry: The amendments: (
a
) create a new Subtopic 924-815,
Entertainment
– Casinos - Derivatives and Hedging
, which includes a scope exception from the derivatives guidance for fixed-odds wagering
contracts; and (
b
) includes a scope exception within Topic 815 for fixed-odds wagering contracts issued by casino entities.
Fixed-odds wagering contracts are revenue transactions which should be recognized in accordance with Topic 606.
Issue
13: Cost Capitalization for Advisors to Private Funds and Public Funds: The amendments align the cost-capitalization guidance
for advisors to both public funds and private funds in Topic 946,
Financial Services - Investment Companies
.
The
FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2017-03,
Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (Topic 250) and Investments
- Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Staff Announcements at the September
22, 2016 and November 17, 2016 EITF Meetings
.
The
amendments add paragraph 250-10-S99-6 which includes the text of “SEC Staff Announcement: Disclosure of the Impact That
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Will Have on the Financial Statements of a Registrant When Such Standards Are Adopted in
a Future Period (in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin [SAB] Topic 11.M).” Following is the text of the SEC Staff
Announcement:
This
announcement applies to ASU No. 2014- 09,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606);
ASU No. 2016-02,
Leases
(Topic 842);
and ASU No. 2016-13,
Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on
Financial Instruments
, and subsequent amendments.
FN1
SAB
Topic 11.M provides the SEC staff view that a registrant should evaluate ASUs that have not yet been adopted to determine the
appropriate financial statement disclosures
FN2
about the potential material effects of those ASUs on the financial
statements when adopted. Consistent with Topic 11.M, if a registrant does not know or cannot reasonably estimate the impact that
adoption of the ASUs referenced in this announcement is expected to have on the financial statements, then in addition to making
a statement to that effect, that registrant should consider additional qualitative financial statement disclosures to assist the
reader in assessing the significance of the impact that the standard will have on the financial statements of the registrant when
adopted. In this regard, the SEC staff expects the additional qualitative disclosures to include a description of the effect of
the accounting policies that the registrant expects to apply, if determined, and a comparison to the registrant’s current
accounting policies. Also, a registrant should describe the status of its process to implement the new standards and the significant
implementation matters yet to be addressed:
FN
1
This announcement also applies to any subsequent amendments to guidance in the ASUs that are issued prior to a registrant’s
adoption of the aforementioned ASUs.
FN
2
Topic 11.M provides SEC staff views on disclosures that registrants should consider in both Management’s Discussion
& Analysis (MD&A) and the notes to the financial statements. MD&A may contain cross references to these disclosures
that appear within the notes to the financial statements.
The
FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-05,
Other Income – Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial
Assets (Subtopic 610-20): Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial
Assets.
A
contract may involve the transfer of both nonfinancial assets and financial assets (e.g., cash and receivables). The amendments
clarify that a financial asset is within the scope of Subtopic 610-20 if it meets the definition of an in substance nonfinancial
asset. The amendments also define the term in substance nonfinancial asset.
The
amendments clarify that nonfinancial assets within the scope of Subtopic 610-20 may include nonfinancial assets transferred within
a legal entity to a counterparty. For example, a parent may transfer control of nonfinancial assets by transferring ownership
interests in a consolidated subsidiary. A contract that includes the transfer of ownership interests in one or more consolidated
subsidiaries is within the scope of Subtopic 610-20 if substantially all of the fair value of the assets that are promised to
the counterparty in a contract is concentrated in nonfinancial assets.
The
amendments clarify that an entity should identify each distinct nonfinancial asset or in substance nonfinancial asset promised
to a counterparty and derecognize each asset when a counterparty obtains control of it.
The
amendments are effective at the same time Topic 606,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
is effective. For public entities,
the amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods
within that reporting period. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after
December 15, 2018, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019.
The
FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-06,
Plan Accounting: Defined Benefit Pension Plans (Topic 960); Defined
Contribution Pension Plans (Topic 962); Health and Welfare Benefit Plans (Topic 965): Employee Benefit Plan Master Trust Reporting
.
The amendments relate primarily to the reporting by an employee benefit plan (a plan) for its interest in a master trust. A master
trust is a trust for which a regulated financial institution (bank, trust company, or similar financial institution that is regulated,
supervised, and subject to periodic examination by a state or federal agency) serves as a trustee or custodian and in which assets
of more than one plan sponsored by a single employer or by a group of employers under common control are held.
The
amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should
be applied retrospectively to each period for which financial statements are presented. The amendments apply to reporting entities
within the scope of Topic 960,
Plan Accounting - Defined Benefit Pension Plans
, Topic 962,
Plan Accounting - Defined
Contribution Pension Plans
, or Topic 965,
Plan Accounting - Health and Welfare Benefit Plans
.
Under
Topic 960, investments in master trusts are presented in a single line item in the statement of net assets available for benefits.
Similar guidance is not provided in Topic 962 or 965, which has resulted in diversity in practice. For each master trust in which
a plan holds an interest, the amendments require a plan’s interest in that master trust and any change in that interest
to be presented in separate line items in the statement of net assets available for benefits and in the statement of changes in
net assets available for benefits, respectively.
Topics
960 and 962 require plans to disclose their percentage interest in the master trust and a list of the investments held by the
master trust, presented by general type, within the plan’s financial statements. The amendments remove the requirement to
disclose the percentage interest in the master trust for plans with divided interests and require that all plans disclose the
dollar amount of their interest in each of those general types of investments.
Current
U.S. GAAP does not require disclosure by plans of the master trust’s other assets and liabilities. Examples of those balances
include amounts due from brokers for securities sold, amounts due to brokers for securities purchased, accrued interest and dividends,
and accrued expenses. The amendments require all plans to disclose: (
a
) their master trust’s other asset and liability
balances; and (
b
) the dollar amount of the plan’s interest in each of those balances.
Lastly,
investment disclosures (e.g., those required by Topics 815 and 820) relating to 401(h) account assets are generally provided in
both the defined benefit pension plan financial statements and the health and welfare benefit plan financial statements. Stakeholders
noted that the disclosures are redundant. The amendments remove that redundancy and do not require that the investment disclosures
relating to the 401(h) account assets be provided in the health and welfare benefit plan’s financial statements. The amendments
will require the health and welfare benefit plan to disclose the name of the defined benefit pension plan in which those investment
disclosures are provided, so that participants can easily access those statements for information about the 401(h) account assets,
if needed.
The
FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2017-07,
Compensation — Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving
the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost
. The amendments apply to all employers,
including not-for-profit entities, that offer to their employees defined benefit pension plans, other postretirement benefit plans,
or other types of benefits accounted for under Topic 715,
Compensation — Retirement Benefits
.
The
amendments require that an employer report the service cost component in the same line item or items as other compensation costs
arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. The other components of net benefit cost are required
to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations,
if one is presented. If a separate line item or items are used to present the other components of net benefit cost, that line
item or items must be appropriately described. If a separate line item or items are not used, the line item or items used in the
income statement to present the other components of net benefit cost must be disclosed.
The
amendments also allow only the service cost component to be eligible for capitalization when applicable (e.g., as a cost of internally
manufactured inventory or a self-constructed asset).
The
amendments are effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim
periods within those annual periods. For other entities, the amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December
15, 2018, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning
of an annual period for which financial statements (interim or annual) have not been issued or made available for issuance.
FASB
Amends SEC Paragraphs related to Revenue Recognition and Leases Standards for Public Business Entities.
The FASB has issued
Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2017-13.This ASU adds, amends, and supersedes SEC paragraphs of the Accounting Standards
Codification (ASC) related to the adoption and transition provisions of ASU No. 2014-09,
Revenue From Contracts with Customers
and ASU 2016-02,
Leases,
for public business entities
.
The ASU is titled ASU No. 2017-13
, Revenue Recognition
(Topic 605), Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), Leases (Topic 840), and Leases (Topic 842): Amendments to SEC
Paragraphs Pursuant to the Staff Announcement at the July 20, 2017 EITF Meeting and Rescission of Prior SEC Staff Announcements
and Observer Comments.
ASU
2017-13 codifies portions of an SEC Staff Announcement made at the July 20, 2017 Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) meeting essentially
delaying the effective date of the revenue recognition and leases standards for a subset of public entities . The SEC Observer
made the following SEC Staff Announcement, “Transition Related to Accounting Standards Updates No. 2014-09 and 2016-02,”
at the July 20, 2017 EITF meeting:
The
SEC staff would not object to a public business entity that otherwise would not meet the definition of a public business entity
except for a requirement to include or the inclusion of its financial statements or financial information in another entity’s
filing with the SEC adopting (1) ASC Topic 606,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
for annual reporting periods beginning
after December 15, 2018, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and
(2) ASC Topic 842,
Leases
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2020.
A
public business entity that otherwise would not meet the definition of a public business entity except for a requirement to include
or the inclusion of its financial statements or financial information in another entity’s filing with the SEC may still
elect to adopt ASC Topic 606 and ASC Topic 842 according to the public business entity effective dates.
This
announcement is applicable only to public business entities that otherwise would not meet the definition of a public business
entity except for a requirement to include or the inclusion of its financial statements or financial information in another entity’s
filing with the SEC. This announcement is not applicable to other public business entities.

from Operations
As
a result of the factors discussed above, Yangshuo incurred a loss from operation of $101,993 for the fiscal year ended December
31, 2016 compared to a loss $59,511 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015.
For
the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the loss from operations was $52,845.
Other
Income (Expenses)
Yangshuo’s
other income for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 included the
following:
Interest
Income:
Interest
income for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 was $18 and $18, respectively. For the nine months ended September
30, 2017, interest income was $367.
Other
Income:
Yangshuo
has recognized $53,606 and $22,785 of other income for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. Out of this total amount,
$26,852 and $21,512 related to rental for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Yangshuo has leased
out its building to and entered into lease agreements with several individuals and corporate entities.
For
the nine months ended September 30, 2017, other income was $40,681. Out of this amount, $24,684 related to rental income.
Provision
for Income Taxes
For
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the provision for income taxes was nil due to tax loss incurred and no valuation
allowance provided on the deferred tax assets including the net operating losses.
For
the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the provision for income taxes was nil due to tax loss incurred and no valuation allowance
provided on the deferred tax assets including the net operating losses.
Management
determined that it is more likely than not that the net operating losses will not be realized before the statutory expiration
date, with the latest in the year 2020.
Net
Loss
As
a result of the factors discussed above, for the year ended December 31, 2016, net loss amounted to $101,993, as compared to loss
of $59,511 for the year ended December 31, 2015. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, net loss was $52,845.
Foreign
currency translation loss
The
functional currency of our operations in the PRC is the Chinese Yuan or Renminbi (“RMB”). The financial statements
are translated to U.S. dollars using the period end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, equity is translated at historical
exchange rates, and average rates of exchange (for the period) are used for revenues and expenses and cash flows. Transaction
gains and or losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional
currency are included in the results of operations as incurred. As a result of foreign currency translations, which are a noncash
adjustment, we reported a foreign currency translation loss of $73,921 for the year ended December 31, 2016, as compared to a
foreign currency translation loss of $51,940 for the year ended December 31, 2015. This noncash loss had the effect of increasing
our reported comprehensive loss.
For
the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the foreign currency translation gain was $41,620 which decreased our reported comprehensive
loss.
Comprehensive
loss
As
a result of our foreign currency translation loss, we had comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2016 of $175,914,
compared to comprehensive loss of $111,451 for the year ended December 31, 2015. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017,
the comprehensive loss was $11,225.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As
of September 30, 2017, we had a cash balance of $756,398. Net cash provided by the operating activities totaled to $746,555. There
was no net cash provided by or used in investing and financing activities. Effect of exchange rate change on cash totaled $(9,284).
The resulting change in cash for the period was an increase of $737,271, which was chiefly due to the increase in amount due to
shareholder.
As
of December 31, 2016, we had a cash balance of $19,127. During the year ended December 31, 2016, net cash used in operating activities
totaled to $12,920. There was no net cash provided by or used in investing and financing activities. Effect of exchange rate change
on cash totaled $(1,695). The resulting change in cash for the period was a decrease of $14,615, which was primarily due to net
book loss.
As
of December 31, 2015, we had a cash balance of $33,742. During the year ended December 31, 2015, net cash provided by operating
activities totaled to $21,956. There was no net cash provided by or used in investing and financing activities. The resulting
change in cash for the period was an increase of $20,745, which was primarily due to increase in accrued expenses.

cash provided by operating activities decreased by $34,876 to $(12,920) as of December 31, 2016 from $21,956 as of December 31,

Our working capital deficit decreased by
$10,299 from $893,987 as of December 31, 2015 to $883,688 as of December 31, 2016.
This
decrease in working capital deficit is primarily attributable to decrease in deferred rent revenue by $8,816, reduction of other
payables and accrued expenses by $12,141, fall in short-term loan balance by $32,589 due to depreciation of Chinese Renminbi,
the overall decrease in current liabilities is offset by lower cash balance as of December 31, 2016 . As of September
30, 2017, our working capital deficit increased to $934,965 primarily due to payable to shareholder.
We
require cash in approximately $1.9 million within the next twelve months including $0.5 million to repay outstanding short-term
loans to the bank institutions and county agencies, $0.9 million to shareholder and $0.4 million related to the loan interest
payable to bank institutions and county agencies. In an effort to support and maintain our financial positions
and operations, we have leased out our properties and land to multiple individuals and business parties. Furthermore, in the fourth
quarter of 2017, we have entered into a series of contractual agreements with Shenzhen Gu Yue Technology Protection Co. Ltd. (“Gu
Yue”). Those agreements enabled us to obtain a leverage and business support from Gu Yue and seek business opportunities
in engaging the sand tailing production that expects to be commenced in 2018. We believe that such business arrangements can provide
us sufficient financial resources for our operations.
Because
the exchange rate conversion is different for the balance sheets and the statements of cash flows, the changes in assets and liabilities
reflected on the statements of cash flows are not necessarily identical with the comparable changes reflected on the balance sheets.
Going
Concern Consideration
Our
operations and financial results are subject to numerous various risks and uncertainties that could adversely affect our business,
financial condition, and results of operations.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We
have no off-balance sheet arrangements, including arrangements that would affect our liquidity, capital resources, market risk
support, and credit risk support or other benefits.
Future
Financings
We
will continue to rely on equity sales of our common shares in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of
additional shares will result in dilution to existing stockholders. There is no assurance that we will achieve any additional
sales of the equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund our operations and other activities, or if we are
able, there is no guarantee that existing shareholders will not be substantially diluted.
PROPERTIES
Tang
Dynasty leased approximately 1,119.45 square feet of office space at suites 502 and 503 on the 5
th
floor of Fourseas
building in Jordan, Hong Kong. The lease was effective on July 1, 2017 and expires on June 30, 2019 and provides for a monthly
rent payment of approximately $8,638 (HKD 57,600), management fee approximately $489 (HKD 3,264) and utility charges approximately
$1,008 (HKD 6,720).

Our

Executive Officer, Secretary and Director. His resignation is not the result of any disagreements with the Company. Accordingly,

Director
Qualifications
Directors
are responsible for overseeing the Company’s business consistent with their fiduciary duty to the stockholders. This significant
responsibility requires highly-skilled individuals with various qualities, attributes and professional experience. Our sole director
believes that there are general requirements for service on the Board that are applicable to directors and that there are other
skills and experience that should be represented on the Board as a whole but not necessarily by each director. The Board considers
the qualifications of director and director candidates individually and in the broader context of the Board’s overall composition
and the Company’s current and future needs.
Qualifications
for All Directors
In
its assessment of each potential candidate, including those recommended by the stockholders, the Board will consider the nominee’s
judgment, integrity, experience, independence, understanding of the Company’s business or other related industries and such
other factors it determines are pertinent in light of the current needs of the Board. The Board also takes into account the ability
of a director to devote the time and effort necessary to fulfill his or her responsibilities to the Company.
The
Board requires that each director be a recognized person of high integrity with a proven record of success in his or her field.
Each director must demonstrate innovative thinking, familiarity with and respect for corporate governance requirements and practices,
an appreciation of multiple cultures and a commitment to sustainability and to dealing responsibly with social issues. In addition
to the qualifications required of all directors, the Board conducts interviews of potential director candidates to assess intangible
qualities including the individual’s ability to ask difficult questions and, simultaneously, to work collegially.
Qualifications,
Attributes, Skills and Experience to be Represented on the Board as a Whole
The
Board has identified particular qualifications, attributes, skills and experience that should be represented on the Board as a
whole, in light of the Company’s current needs and its business priorities. The Board believes that it should include some
directors with a high level of financial literacy and some directors who possess relevant business experience as a chief executive
officer, president or similar position at a company.
Presently,
Mr. Hoi Ming Chan is the President, Chief Operating Officer, Secretary and Director of the Company. Mr. Hoi Ming Chan possesses
many of the skills and experience needed for our business. He has years of experience in the new energy technology and power generation
industries. His knowledge of the industries and familiarity with business management makes him valuable to the Board. Mr. Edward
Low is the Chief Financial Officer and Director of the Company. Mr. Edward Low has provided extensive accounting services to public
companies for the past 20 years and has served in the executive positions in couple energy resources companies. His financial
and industrial knowledge is essential to our board.
The
Board plans to eventually increase its membership to include directors with skills and experience complementary to background
of Mr. Hoi Ming Chan and Mr. Edward Low.

the annual audit and the results of audit examinations performed by the internal auditors and independent public accountants,
including their recommendations to improve the system of accounting and internal controls. The audit committee will at all times
be composed exclusively of directors who are, in the opinion of the Board, free from any relationship which would interfere with
the exercise of independent judgment as a committee member and who possess an understanding of financial statements and generally
accepted accounting principles.
Audit
Committee Financial Expert

Employment
Agreements
As
of the reporting date, we have entered into an employment agreement with our sole Chief Financial Officer. For other executives,
directors or employees, we have not entered into any direct or indirect employment agreements of the reporting date although they
may enter into such arrangements in the future.
Compensation
Discussion and Analysis
We
strive to provide our named executive officers (as defined in Item 402 of Regulation S-K) with a competitive base salary that
is in line with their roles and responsibilities when compared to peer companies of comparable size in similar locations.
It
is not uncommon for Hong Kong private companies in to have base salaries as the sole form of compensation. The base salary level
is established and reviewed based on the level of responsibilities, the experience and tenure of the individual and the current
and potential contributions of the individual. The base salary is compared to the list of similar positions within comparable
peer companies and consideration is given to the executive’s relative experience in his or her position. Base salaries are
reviewed periodically and at the time of promotion or other changes in responsibilities.
We
will consider forming a compensation committee to oversee the compensation of our named executive officers. The majority of the
members of the compensation committee would be independent directors.
Compensation
of Directors
Directors
are permitted to receive fixed fees and other compensation for their services as directors. The board of directors has the authority
to fix the compensation of directors. No amounts have been paid to, or accrued to, directors in such capacity.
As
of the date of this report, our directors have received no compensation for their service on the board of directors. We plan to
implement a compensation program for our independent directors, as and when they are appointed, which we anticipate will include
such elements as an annual retainer, meeting attendance fees and stock options. The details of that compensation program will
be negotiated with each independent director.

Option Exercises and Fiscal Year-End Option Value Table
There
were no stock options exercised during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017, by the executive officers named in the Executive
Compensation Table.
CERTAIN
RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
Except
for the ownership of our securities, and except as set forth below, none of the directors, executive officers, holders of more
than five percent of our outstanding common stock, or any member of the immediate family of any such person have, to our knowledge,
had a material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction or proposed transaction which may materially affect our company.
On
January 15, 2018, IMGL entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Tang Dynasty Investment Group Limited. Tang Dynasty
Investment Group Limited is a limited liability company incorporated on March 22, 2017 under the laws of Hong Kong, Special Administrative
Region, China. Prior to the Share Exchange Agreements, all its 10,000 issued and outstanding shares, par value $0.128 (HK$1) per
share, were owned by Mr. Hoi Ming Chan, Yuk Kiu Chan, Herman Cheuk Kau Kwong, Kwok Leung Lee, Ni Qin, and Ping Chan
Procedures
for Approval of Related Party Transactions
Our
board of directors is charged with reviewing and approving all potential related party transactions. All such related party transactions
must then be reported under applicable SEC rules. We have not adopted other procedures for review, or standards for approval,
of such transactions, but instead review them on a case-by-case basis.
LEGAL
PROCEEDINGS
We
know of no material, active, pending or threatened proceeding against us or our subsidiaries, nor are we, or any subsidiary, involved
as a plaintiff or defendant in any material proceeding or pending litigation. We, however, are currently involved as a third party
in an administrative litigation between Yunsheng Yang and Yangshuo County People's Government.
In
an administrative litigation in 2017, the plaintiff Yunsheng YANG, an independent third party to Yangshuo, filed a claim against
the Yangshuo County People's Government (the “Government”) naming Yangshuo as the third party in revoking the State-owned
Land Use Certificate (Shuo Guo Yong (2015) No.500), which states that Yangshuo has the right to use the land involved of area
of approximately 734.4㎡ (the “Land”). On August 10, 2017, the Guilin Intermediate People's Court held that
there was no evidence could prove the plaintiff has any right regarding the Land and dismiss all the plaintiff’s claims.
The
plaintiff was unsatisfied with the judgment and appealed to the Guilin Intermediate People's Court. The second trial is depending
now. If the judge upholds the plaintiff’s claims, Yangshou might lose the right to use the involved land.
MARKET
PRICE OF AND DIVIDENDS ON THE REGISTRANTS
COMMON
EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
Market
Information
Our
common stock has been quoted on the OTCBB since March 18, 2014 under the designation “IMGL,” however, there has been
no trading in our common stock historically.
If
a market develops, the trading of our common stock is likely to be thin and volatile. The market price of our common stock will
be subject to significant fluctuations in response to variations in our quarterly operating results, general trends in the market,
and other factors, over many of which we have little or no control. In addition, broad market fluctuations, as well as general
economic, business and political conditions, may adversely affect the market for our common stock, regardless of our actual or
projected performance.
Holders
of Our Common Stock
As of January 18,
2018, we have 414,059,000 shares of Common Stock outstanding held by 29 shareholders. The holders of common stock
is entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. Holder of the common
stock has no preemptive rights and no right to convert their common stock into any other securities. There are no redemption or
sinking fund provisions applicable to the common stock.
Dividends
We
have not paid dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying such dividends in the foreseeable future. We will rely
on dividends from our PRC operation entity for our funds and PRC regulations may limit the amount of funds distributed to us from
our PRC operation entity, which will affect our ability to declare any dividends.
Stock
Option and Warrant Grants
We
have no stock option and warrant granted to our executives, employees, vendors, consultants and any other parties as of the reporting
date.
Registration
Rights
We
have not granted registration rights to the selling shareholders or to any other persons.
Equity
Compensation Plans
We
have not adopted any equity compensation plans as of the reporting date.
Penny
Stock Regulations
Our
shares of common stock are subject to the “penny stock” rules of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and various rules
under this Act. In general terms, “penny stock” is defined as any equity security that has a market price less than
$5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. The rules provide that any equity security is considered to be a penny stock unless
that security is registered and traded on a national securities exchange meeting specified criteria set by the SEC, issued by
a registered investment company, and excluded from the definition on the basis of price (at least $5.00 per share), or based on
the issuer’s net tangible assets or revenues. In the last case, the issuer’s net tangible assets must exceed $3,000,000
if in continuous operation for at least three years or $5,000,000 if in operation for less than three years, or the issuer’s
average revenues for each of the past three years must exceed $6,000,000.
Trading
in shares of penny stock is subject to additional sales practice requirements for broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to persons
other than established customers and accredited investors. Accredited investors, in general, include individuals with assets in
excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 (or $300,000 together with their spouse), and certain institutional investors.
For transactions covered by these rules, broker-dealers must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of the
security and must have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase. Additionally,
for any transaction involving a penny stock, the rules require the delivery, prior to the first transaction, of a risk disclosure
document relating to the penny stock. A broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and
the registered representative, and current quotations for the security. Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent
price information for the penny stocks. These rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to trade or maintain a market in
our common stock, to the extent it is penny stock, and may affect the ability of shareholders to sell their shares.
RECENT
SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES
On
January 15, 2018, we consummated a Share Exchange Agreement with Tang Dynasty, to acquire all the issued and outstanding
capital stock of Tang Dynasty, a Hong Kong company, in exchange for the issuance to 400,000,000 restricted shares of our common
stock.
We
claim an exemption from the registration requirements of the Act for the private placement of the shares of our common stock to,
shareholders of Tang Dynasty, pursuant to Regulation S promulgated thereunder since, among other things, the offer or sale was
made in an offshore transaction and no directed selling efforts were made in the United States by the issuer, a distributor, any
of their respective affiliates, or any person acting on behalf of any of the foregoing. In addition, the recipient of the shares
certified that it is not a U.S. person and is not acquiring the securities for the account or benefit of any U.S. person and agreed
to resell such securities only in accordance with the provisions of Regulation S, pursuant to registration under the Act, or pursuant
to an available exemption from registration; and agreed not to engage in hedging transactions with regard to such securities unless
in compliance with the Act.
DESCRIPTION
OF SECURITIES
The
following is a summary description of our capital stock and certain provisions under the laws of the State of Nevada where the
Company was incorporated. The following discussion is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibits.
General
We
are authorized to issue 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and no share of preferred stock, par
value $0.001 per share.
Common
Stock
The
holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders.
There is no cumulative voting with respect to the election of directors, with the result that the holders of more than 50% of
the shares voting for the election of directors can elect all of the directors then up for election. The holders of our common
stock are entitled to receive dividends when, as and if declared by the board of directors out of funds legally available therefor.
In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our company, the holders of common stock are entitled to share ratably
in all assets remaining which are available for distribution to them after payment of liabilities and after provision has been
made for each class of stock, if any, having preference over the common stock. Holders of shares of our common stock, as such,
have no conversion, preemptive or other subscription rights, and there are no redemption provisions applicable to the common stock.
Indemnification
of Directors and Officers
Under
provisions of the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the registrant, directors and officers will be indemnified for any
and all judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses, including attorneys fees, in connection with threatened,
p ending or completed actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, or criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an
action arising by or in the right of the registrant), if such director or officer has been wholly successful on the merits or
otherwise, or is found to have acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believes to be in or not opposed to the
best interests of the registrant, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his
or her conduct was unlawful. In addition, directors and officers will be indemnified for reasonable expenses in connection with
threatened, pending or completed actions or suits by or in the right of registrant if such director or officer has been wholly
successful on the merits or otherwise, or is found to have acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to
be in or not opposed to the best interests of the registrant, except in the case of certain findings by a court that such person
is liable for negligence or misconduct in his or her duty to the registrant unless such court also finds that such person is nevertheless
fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity. The registrant’s Articles of Incorporation also eliminates the liability of
directors of the registrant for monetary damages to the fullest extent permissible under Nevada law.
Indemnification
against Public Policy
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling
an issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the opinion of the SEC is that such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
(other than by a director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted
by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion
of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question
whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
The
effect of indemnification may be to limit the rights of the Company and the stockholders (through stockholders’ derivative
suits on behalf of the Company) to recover monetary damages and expenses against a director for breach of fiduciary duty.
