Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 – THE COMPANY AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Heyu Biological Technology Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Nevada on May 18, 1987, as Asphalt Associates, Inc. and changed its name to Pacific WebWorks in January 1999. From 1999 to 2016 the Company engaged in the development and distribution of web tools software, electronic business storefront hosting, and Internet payment systems for individuals and small to mid-sized businesses. On February 23, 2016, the Company filed a voluntary petition for bankruptcy in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Utah, and soon afterwards ceased its business activities. On August 19, 2016, the Company proposed a plan of liquidation and on November 28, 2016, the court entered an order confirming the plan of liquidation and establishing a liquidating trust. On December 28, 2016, all assets and liabilities of the Company were transferred to the liquidating trust.
On April 18, 2018, the Company entered into a
share purchase agreement with Mr. Ban Siong Ang and Mr. Dan Masters (the “Share Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which Mr.
Ang acquired
On April 18, 2018, to fill the vacancies created by Mr. Masters’ resignation, Ban Siong Ang and Hung Seng Tan were elected as the directors of the Company. Mr. Ang was appointed as President, Chief Executive Officer, and Chairman of the Board of the Company. Mr. Tan was appointed as the Executive Director of the Company. Ms. Wendy Li was appointed as the Chief Financial Officer of the Company. On February 28, 2021, Ms. Wendy Li resigned from her position with the Company as the Chief Financial Officer. To fill the vacancies created by Ms. Wendy Wei Li’s resignation, Mr. Ang was appointed as the Chief Financial Officer. On November 30, 2021, Mr. Bo Lyu has been appointed as the Chief Financial Officer.
On July 3, 2018, the Company changed its name to Heyu Biological Technology Corporation and applied for a new ticker symbol “HYBT”.
During 2018, the Company established the following subsidiaries: (1) HP Technology Limited, a British Virgin Islands business company incorporated on September 20, 2018, and (2) Heyu Healthcare Technology Limited, a Hong Kong company incorporated on March 29, 2018. On November 5, 2018, the Company acquired the following subsidiary: Jiashierle (Xiamen) Healthcare Technology Co., Ltd. (“JSEL”), a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) on November 16, 2017.
On January 17, 2019, JSEL entered into a share
transfer agreement (the “Share Transfer Agreement”) with Mr. Yu Xu (“Mr. Xu”), an individual with an address at
No. 68 Chengde South Road, Qingpu District, Huaian City, Jiangsu Province, the PRC. Mr. Xu owned
Since the beginning of 2019, Mr. Xu has led the core research and development team of Kangzi to develop and manufacture a new medical product, the Submillimeter Wave (Terahertz) Quantized Space Therapy Chamber (the “Chamber”). Utilizing submillimeter waves, the Chamber is a medical equipment designed to treat cancer through cold nuclear fusion caused by cosmic ray muons in an enclosed chamber. We believe that exposure to an appropriate amount of submillimeter waves would accelerate the generation of a large number of cosmic ray muons inside the human body and that such cosmic ray muons could further facilitate cold nuclear fusion, which could reverse the cancer by converting selenium into nickel inside cells.
5
Our team consists of researchers who have years of extensive experience in medicine and physics. The lead scientist of the team, Mr. Xu, had extensive professional experience in the aforementioned fields and has served as the deputy chief engineer of the New Energy Base of the National Defense-Science and Technology Commission in 1995, the chairman and chief scientist of Shanghai Guangzhui New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. from 2011 to 2019, and the director of Shanghai Hengbian New Energy Research Institute from 2003 to 2008. In 2012, Mr. Xu received the “Harmony-Person of the Year in China” award at the “2011 Harmony China Annual Summit” in Beijing. He was recognized as “Leaping China: One of the Most Influential People of the Year in 2011” by China International Economic and Technical Cooperation Promotion Association, China Elite Culture Promotion Association, and China Outstanding Chinese Merchants Association. Mr. Xu also received the “2013 China Economic Outstanding Contribution Award” from the Organizing Committee of Boau Forum on Asian SME Development.
Pursuant to the terms of the share transfer agreement entered into by JSEL and Kangzi on January 17, 2019, JSEL has the right to monitor and manage all aspects of operation of Kangzi, including its research and development activities relating to the Chamber. As the development of the Chamber enters its final stage, JSEL started accepting pre-orders for the Chamber in September 2019.
The outbreak of the novel coronavirus, commonly referred to as “COVID-19”, first found in mainland China, then in Asia and eventually throughout the world, has significantly affected business and manufacturing activities within China, including travel restrictions, widespread mandatory quarantines, and suspension of business activities within China. These measures have caused substantial disruptions to our business operations. We suspended our business operation in early February 2020 due to government mandates. We partially recovered our business operation on February 17, 2020, and on March 1, 2020, most of our staff members returned to the office and we fully resumed our business operations on the same day. Accordingly, our business, results of operations and financial condition were adversely affected. As of the date of this Report, Chinese industries have gradually resumed businesses as government officials started to ease the restrictive measures since April 2020. However, as most of our top management team is an overseas team, due to the international travel ban, we still operate under remote-working conditions, so the business of the Company is still recovering. Our management believes that our revenues will gradually improve as the epidemic and the travel ban are lifted.
On March 17, 2020, we entered into a business
service cooperation agreement with Xiamen Qingda Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cross-strait Tsinghua
Research Institute, pursuant to which we agreed to jointly improve the plant based disinfectant spray for treating skin infections and
disinfecting wounds. The term of such agreement is three years, and can be renewed upon mutual agreement of both parties. The original
plant based disinfectant spray was developed and owned by the Company, while the improved product shall be owned by both the Company and
the Cross-strait Tsinghua Research Institute. The Cross-strait Tsinghua Research Institute will receive
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the three months ended March 2023 and 2022 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) that have been made are necessary to fairly present the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2023, the results of its operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, and its cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. Operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full fiscal year. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 has been derived from the Company’s audited financial statements included in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
6
The statements and related notes have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and other information included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.
As of March 31, 2023, the details of the consolidating subsidiaries are as follows:
| Name of Company | Jurisdiction of Formation | Attributable equity interest % | ||||
| % | ||||||
| % | ||||||
| % | ||||||
| % | ||||||
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Management believes that the estimates used in preparing the financial statements are reasonable and prudent; however, actual results could differ from these estimates. Significant estimates include the allowance for doubtful accounts, impairment assessments of goodwill, valuation of deferred tax assets, rebilling collections and certain accrued liabilities such as contingent liabilities.
Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity period of three months or less to be cash or cash equivalents. The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents approximate their fair value. All of the Company’s cash that is held in bank accounts in the PRC and Hong Kong is not protected by Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance or any other similar insurance in the PRC, or Hong Kong.
Accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts
Accounts receivable are stated at the historical carrying amount net of allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts which reflects its best estimate of amounts that potentially will not be collected. The Company determines the allowance for doubtful accounts taking into consideration various factors, including but not limited to historical collection experience and credit-worthiness of the debtors, as well as the age of the individual receivables balance. Additionally, the Company makes specific bad debt provisions based on any specific knowledge the Company has acquired that might indicate that an account is uncollectible. The facts and circumstances of each account may require the Company to use substantial judgment in assessing its collectability.
Inventories
Inventories consist of finished goods, work in process, and raw materials. Inventories are stated at the lower cost or market value. The Company applies the weighted average cost method to its inventory.
7
Leases
The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (ASU 2016-02), as amended, which supersedes the lease accounting guidance under Topic 840, and generally requires lessees to recognize operating and financing lease liabilities and corresponding right-of-use (ROU) assets on the balance sheet and to provide enhanced disclosures surrounding the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leasing arrangements.
Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and short-term and long-term lease liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included in property and equipment, other current liabilities, and other long-term liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets.
ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of the leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use the industry incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. We use the implicit rate when readily determinable. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. The lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Adoption of the standard resulted in the initial recognition of $
Foreign Currency
For fiscal year 2022, the Company’s principal country of operations is the PRC. The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in US$. The functional currency of the Company is US$, and the functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries is RMB. The consolidated financial statements are translated into US$ from RMB at year-end exchange rates as to assets and liabilities and average exchange rates as to revenues and expenses. Capital accounts are translated at their historical exchange rates when the capital transactions occurred. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a component of shareholders’ equity included in other comprehensive income. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in profit or loss. There were no gains and losses from foreign currency transactions during the quarters ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

| Three Months ended March 31, | ||||||||
| 2023 | 2022 | |||||||
| RMB: US$ exchange rate | ||||||||
The RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currency and all foreign exchange transactions must take place through authorized institutions. No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into US$ at the rates used in translation.
General and administrative costs
General and administrative expenses include personnel expenses for executive, finance, and internal support personnel. In addition, general and administrative expenses include fees for bad debt costs, professional legal and accounting services, insurance, office space, banking and merchant fees, and other overhead-related costs.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. Income taxes are provided on an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting of income taxes. Any tax paid by subsidiaries during the year is recorded. Current tax is based on the profit or loss from ordinary activities adjusted for items that are non-assessable or disallowable for income tax purpose and is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. ASC Topic 740 also requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statements and the tax basis of assets and liabilities, and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax losses and tax credit carry-forwards. ASC Topic 740 additionally requires the establishment of a valuation allowance to reflect the likelihood of realization of deferred tax assets. Realization of deferred tax assets, including those related to the U.S. net operating loss carry-forwards, are dependent upon future earnings, if any, of which the timing and amount are uncertain.
The Company adopted ASC Topic 740-10-05, Income Tax, which provides guidance for recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. It prescribes a threshold condition that a tax position must meet for any of the benefits of the uncertain tax position to be recognized in the financial statements. It also provides accounting guidance on derecognizing, classification and disclosure of these uncertain tax positions.
The Company’s policy on classification of all interest and penalties related to unrecognized income tax positions, if any, is to present them as a component of income tax expense.
Capital Structure
The Company had
Earnings (loss) per share
Basic net income (loss) per share of common stock attributable to common stockholders is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Potentially dilutive shares, which are based on the weighted-average shares of common stock underlying outstanding stock-based awards, warrants, options, or convertible debt using the treasury stock method or the if-converted method, as applicable, are included when calculating diluted net income (loss) per share of common stock attributable to common stockholders when their effect is dilutive.
9
Potential dilutive securities are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS in loss periods as their effect would be antidilutive.
For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, there were no potentially dilutive shares.

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN
During the quarter ended March 31, 2023, the Company was unable to
generate cash flows sufficient to support its operations and was dependent on related party advances from the two directors. In addition,
the Company had experienced recurring net losses, and had an accumulated deficit of $
There can be no assurance that sufficient funds required during the next year or thereafter will be generated from any future operations or that funds will be available from external sources such as debt or equity financings or other potential sources. If the Company is unable to raise capital from external sources when required, there will be a material adverse effect on its business. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that any such required funds, if available, will be available on attractive terms or that they will not have a significant dilutive effect on the Company’s existing stockholders. Management is now seeking an operating company with which to merge or acquire. In the foreseeable future, the Company will rely on related parties, such as its controlling shareholder, to provide advances to fund general corporate purposes and any potential acquisitions of profitable investments. There is no assurance, however, that the Company will achieve its objectives or goals.
NOTE 3 – CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

ASU 2016-02 requires that public companies use a secured incremental browning rate for the present value of lease payments when the rate implicit in the contract is not readily determinable.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations relates to the operations and financial condition reported in our consolidated financial statements, which appear elsewhere in this Report, and should be read in conjunction with such financial statements and related notes included in this Report. Except for the historical information contained herein, the following discussion, as well as other information in this Report, contain “forward-looking statements,” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and are subject to the “safe harbor” created by those sections. Actual results and the timing of the events may differ materially from those contained in these forward-looking statements due to many factors, including those discussed in the “Forward-Looking Statements” set forth elsewhere in this Report.
Overview
Heyu Biological Technology Corporation (the “Company” or “we”) was incorporated in the state of Nevada on May 18, 1987, as Asphalt Associates, Inc. and changed its name to Pacific WebWorks in January 1999. From 1999 to 2016, the Company engaged in the development and distribution of web tools software, electronic business storefront hosting, and Internet payment systems for individuals and small to mid-sized businesses.
On July 3, 2018, the Company changed its name to Heyu Biological Technology Corporation and applied for a new ticker symbol HYBT.
On January 17, 2019, Jiashierle (Xiamen) Healthcare Technology Co., Ltd. (“JSEL”), a limited liability company organized under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”), and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Share Transfer Agreement (the “Share Transfer Agreement”) with Mr. Yu Xu (“Mr. Xu”), an individual who owned 90% of the equity interests of Shanghai Kangzi Medical Technology Co., Ltd., a limited liability company organized under the laws of the PRC (“Kangzi”). Pursuant to the Share Transfer Agreement, Mr. Xu transferred 60% of the equity interests of Kangzi to JSEL on January 17, 2019 for the purpose of developing a joint venture in the business of selling medical equipment. In return, JSEL would fund the operations of Kangzi in proportion to its equity interest in Kangzi. Kangzi owned no assets and conducts no business operation of its own. As a result, as of January 17, 2019, Kangzi became an indirect subsidiary of the Company.
Since the beginning of 2019, Mr. Xu has led the core research and development team of Kangzi to develop and manufacture a new medical product, the Submillimeter Wave (Terahertz) Quantized Space Therapy Chamber (the “Chamber”). Utilizing submillimeter waves, the Chamber is a medical equipment designed to treat cancer through cold nuclear fusion caused by cosmic ray muons in an enclosed chamber. Specifically, we believe that exposure to an appropriate amount of submillimeter waves could accelerate the generation of a large number of cosmic ray muons inside the human body and that such cosmic ray muons could further facilitate cold nuclear fusion, which could reverse the process of cancer by converting selenium into nickel inside cells.
The core research and development team consists of researchers who have extensive experience in medicine and physics. The lead scientist of the team, Mr. Xu, served as the deputy chief engineer of the New Energy Base of the National Defense-Science and Technology Commission in 1995, the director of Shanghai Hengbian New Energy Research Institute from 2003 to 2008, and the chairman and chief scientist of Shanghai Guangzhui New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. from 2011 to 2019. In 2012, Mr. Xu was awarded the “Harmony Person of the Year in China” at the “2011 Harmony China Annual Summit” in Beijing. He was also jointly recognized as “Leaping China: One of the Most Influential People of the Year in 2011” by China International Economic and Technical Cooperation Promotion Association, China Elite Culture Promotion Association, and China Outstanding Chinese Merchants Association. In 2013, the Organizing Committee of Boau Forum on Asian Small and Medium Enterprise Development awarded Mr. Xu “2013 China Economic Outstanding Contribution Award.”

Pursuant to the terms of the Share Transfer Agreement, JSEL has the right to monitor and manage all aspects of operation of Kangzi, including its research and development activities relating to the Chamber. As the development of the Chamber enters its final stage at Kangzi, JSEL started accepting pre-orders for the Chamber in September 2019. On October 15, 2019, JSEL entered into a clinical cooperation agreement (the “Clinical Cooperation Agreement”) with Shenzhen Saikun Biotechnology Co., Ltd. (“Saikun”). Pursuant to the Clinical Cooperation Agreement, Saikun agreed to pay JSEL RMB5.5 million as the total pre-order payment. RMB1.5 million and RMB1.5 million were delivered to JSEL on September 7 and September 27, 2019, respectively. The parties are currently working on the timing for payment of the remaining RMB2.5 million due under the Clinical Cooperation Agreement. In exchange, JSEL is obligated to purchase all the components of a Chamber from Kangzi, fully assemble it, and conduct a clinical trial with Saikun, third-party hospital partners, and patients using the Chamber. Specifically, after receiving the full amount of payment from Saikun, JSEL shall transport the Chamber to Saikun’s preferred location, properly install it, and conduct a clinical trial that lasts at least one month. During the clinical trial, JSEL shall provide training sessions regarding the proper operation of the Chamber to Saikun’s employees. Both Saikun and JSEL are obligated to find third-party hospitals that will agree to act as partners to co-host the clinical trial and patients who will voluntarily undergo treatment provided by the Chamber. While Saikun is responsible for various expenses related to the clinical trial, JSEL is responsible for communicating with patients receiving treatment and other patient-related administrative matters. When JSEL determines that Saikun is capable of properly operating the Chamber and managing activities related to the Chamber, Saikun may request JSEL to move the Chamber to a location designated by Saikun and reinstall it. Furthermore, upon the successful completion of the clinical trial, JSEL shall provide Saikun governmental permits necessary for the operation of the Chamber, and Saikun shall operate the Chamber and provide related services to patients under the supervision of JSEL. In addition, JSEL shall transfer the right of using the Chamber and any beneficiary right affiliated with using the Chamber to Saikun upon receiving the full amount of payment from Saikun. JSEL, nevertheless, owns all the intellectual property rights affiliated with the Chamber. If the two parties decide to terminate the Clinical Cooperation Agreement prior to the expiration of its term, Saikun’s right of using the Chamber during the term is still effective as long as its use of the Chamber does not infringe any of JSEL’s intellectual property rights affiliated with the Chamber. The two parties agreed that the term of the Clinical Cooperation Agreement would not end until Kangzi successfully obtains permits issued by relevant government entities supervising development and sale of medical equipment.
To prepare for mass production of the Chambers, Kangzi is conducting clinical experiments to make further improvements on the Chamber and adjusting features of the mass-production mold for the Chambers. As its long-term business strategy, Kangzi focuses on researching, developing, and manufacturing high-technology medical equipment while targeting both individual and institutional customers. It plans to mass-produce the Chambers in small and medium sizes, establish operation centers to sell the Chambers in various cities across China, and initiate advertising and marketing campaigns on different media platforms. Kangzi will also monetize services provided to customers who use the Chambers and other medical products. As of the date of this Report, we are still in the clinical experiment phase and Kangzi is still in the process of obtaining official governmental permits from relevant government authorities to produce and sell the Chambers on a national scale. There is no assurance that we will obtain the official governmental permits.
In addition to business activities related to the Chamber, the Company is also conducting research, development, manufacturing, and sale of healthcare equipment and plant-based disinfectant spray for treating skin infections and disinfecting wounds. On March 17, 2020, we entered into a business service cooperation agreement with Xiamen Qingda Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cross-strait Tsinghua Research Institute, pursuant to which the parties agreed to jointly improve a plant-based disinfectant spray for treating skin infections and disinfecting wounds. The term of such agreement is three years, and the agreement can be renewed upon mutual agreement of both parties. The original plant-based disinfectant spray was developed and owned by the Company, while the improved product shall be owned by both the Company and Cross-strait Tsinghua Research Institute. The Cross-strait Tsinghua Research Institute will receive 2% of the gross proceeds from sales of such improved product.
The recent COVID-19 outbreak has spread throughout the world, especially in China, the United States, and Europe. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic—the first pandemic caused by a coronavirus. The outbreak has resulted in the implementation of significant governmental measures, including lockdowns, closures, quarantines, and travel bans, intended to control the spread of the virus, which measures have caused severe disruptions to our business operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2023, we had assets of $262,658, which consisted of current assets of $29,210 in cash and cash equivalents, $24,201 in other receivables, $3,143 as advances to suppliers, and noncurrent assets of $192,574 as operating lease right-of-use asset. We had liabilities of $2,388,612, which consisted of current liabilities of $16,205 in accounts payable, $183,367 in accrued expenses and other payables, $438,028 in advances from customers, $1,581,133 in related party payables, and $57,664 in short-term operating lease liabilities. We had an accumulated deficit of $20,035,077.

As of December 31, 2022, we had assets of $32,404, which mainly consisted of $11,428 in cash and cash equivalents, and $17,845 in other receivables. As of December 31, 2022, we had liabilities of $2,005,010, which mainly consisted of $16,150 in accounts payable, $285,081 in accrued expenses and other payable, $434,890 in advances from customers, $140 in other taxes payables, and $1,268,749 in related party payables. We also had an accumulated deficit of $19,886,700.
Results of Operations
Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 and 2022
Our revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2023, were $10,121, and cost of revenues was $1,161, as compared to revenues of $15,135 and cost of revenues $5,532, for the same period in 2022, respectively. The decrease in our revenue was mainly due to reduced demand of our products.
We had incurred selling expenses of $0 and administrative expenses of $157,468 during the three months ended March 31, 2023, as compared to $67 and $59,067 for the same period in 2022, respectively. The decrease in selling expenses was mainly due to fewer advertising expenses for our products in the quarter ended March 31, 2023 compared with the same period in 2022, selling expenses. The increase in administrative expenses was mainly due to increased counsel fees and other experts’ expenses during the period.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements are presented on a going concern basis. The Company’s financial condition raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $20,035,077, and a net loss of $148,377 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. It is relying on advances from two of its directors, Mr. Ban Siong Ang and Mr. Hungseng Tan, to meet its limited operating expenses.
If the economic environment in China worsens, or if we incur unanticipated capital expenditures or decide to accelerate growth, we may need additional financing. As of March 31, 2023, we had borrowed a loan from our directors for working capital purposes. The loan is unsecured, non-interest bearing and payable on demand. We cannot guarantee, however, that additional financing, if required, would be available on favorable terms, if at all. Such financing may include the use of additional debt or the sale of the Company’s equity interests. Any financing which involves the sale of the Company’s equity interests or instruments that are convertible into the Company’s equity interests could result in immediate and possibly significant dilution to our existing stockholders.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues, or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources that are material to investors.

ITEM 3 QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE ABOUT MATERIAL RISKS
Pursuant to Item 305(e) of Regulation S-K (§ 229.305(e)), the Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item as it is a “smaller reporting company,” as defined by Rule 229.10(f)(1).
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Management has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), as of the end of the period covered by this Report. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as a result of a material weakness primarily related to a lack of a sufficient number of personnel with appropriate training and experience in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or U.S. GAAP. In the future, we also intend to hire more personnel with sufficient training and experience in U.S. GAAP.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarterly period ended March 31, 2023, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
We believe that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within any company have been detected.
