| ITEM 1A. | RISK FACTORS |
Risks Related to Our Organization, Structure and Business
You should carefully consider the risks described below before buying our common stock. If any of the risks described below actually occurs, that event could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment.
Downturns in general economic and market conditions could materially and adversely affect our business.
The IT-communications, mobile apps and blockchain industries are most susceptible to, and greatly affected by economic downturns and policy uncertainties. We have encountered and will continue to encounter risks and difficulties frequently experienced by growing companies in rapidly changing industries, including increased expenses as we continue to grow our business. If we do not manage these risks and overcome these difficulties successfully, our business will suffer.
If we are not able to compete effectively with other competitors, our prospects for future growth will be jeopardized.
There is significant competition in both the software industry and the blockchain industry with more established companies. We are not only competing with other software and blockchain providers but also with companies offering different kind of software and blockchain solutions, which are usually more established and have greater resources to devote to research and development, manufacturing and marketing than we have. Our competitors may promote these software and blockchain solutions which are more readily accepted by customers than our products and maybe required to reduce the prices of our products in order to remain competitive. Our competitors may also seek to use our financial difficulties in marketing against us.
| 5 |
Our board of directors may change our investment or operation objectives and strategies without shareholders’ consent.
Our board of directors determines our major policies, including decisions regarding financing, growth, debt capitalization, distributions and other material events. Our board of directors may amend or revise these and other policies without a vote of the shareholders. Under our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, our directors generally have a right to vote only on the following matters:
| • | the election or removal of director; | |
| • | the amendment of our charter, except that our board of directors may amend our charter without shareholders’ approval to: | |
| • | change our name; | |
| • | change the name or other designation or the par value of the Common Stock; | |
| • | increase or decrease the aggregate number of Common Stock that we have the authority to issue; | |
| • | increase or decrease the number of our Common Stock that we have the authority to issue; | |
| • | effect certain reverse Common Stock splits; | |
| • | our liquidation and dissolution; | |
| • | our being a party to a merger, consolidation, sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of our assets or statutory merger or acquisition. |
All other matters are subject to the discretion of our board of directors.
We may be unable to attract and retain qualified, experienced, highly skilled personnel, which could adversely affect the implementation of our business plan.
Our success depends to a significant degree upon our ability to attract, retain and motivate skilled and qualified personnel. As we become a more mature company in the future, we may find recruiting and retention efforts more challenging. If we do not succeed in attracting, hiring and integrating excellent personnel, or retaining and motivating existing personnel, we may be unable to grow effectively. The loss of any key employee or contractor, including shareholders of our senior management team, and our inability to attract highly skilled personnel with sufficient experience in our industries could harm our business.
Currency fluctuations may adversely affect our operating results.
Company generates revenues and incurs expenses and liabilities in foreign currency. However, it will report its financial results in the United States in U.S. Dollars. As a result, our financial results will be subject to the effects of exchange rate fluctuations between these currencies. Any events that result in a devaluation of the foreign currency versus the U.S. Dollar will have an adverse effect on our reported results. We have not entered into agreements or purchased instruments to hedge our exchange rate risks.
We are not likely to hold annual shareholder meetings in the near future.
Management does not expect to hold annual meetings of shareholders in the near future, due to the expense involved. The current members of the Board of Directors were appointed to that position by the previous directors. If other directors are added to the Board in the future, it is likely that the current directors will appoint them.
Risks Related to Our Stockholders and Purchasing Shares of Common Stock
Your percentage of ownership may become diluted if we issue new Common Stock or other securities.
Our board of directors is authorized, without your approval, to cause us to issue additional Common Stock to raise capital through the issuance of Common Stock (including equity or debt securities convertible into Common Stock), and other rights, on terms and for consideration as our board of directors in its sole discretion may determine. Any such issuance could result in dilution of the equity of our shareholders.
| 6 |
We have not voluntarily implemented various corporate governance measures.
Federal legislation, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, has resulted in the adoption of various corporate governance measures designed to promote the integrity of the corporate management and the securities markets. Some of these measures have been adopted in response to legal requirements. Others have been adopted by companies in response to the requirements of national securities exchanges, such as the NYSE or The NASDAQ Stock Market, on which their securities are listed. Among the corporate governance measures that are required under the rules of national securities exchanges are those that address board of directors’ independence, audit committee oversight and the adoption of a Code of Ethics. Our board of directors expects to adopt a Code of Ethics at a future board meeting. The Company has not adopted exchange-mandated corporate governance measures and, since our securities are not listed on a national securities exchange, we are not required to do so. It is possible that if we were to adopt some or all of these corporate governance measures, stockholders would benefit from somewhat greater assurances that internal corporate decisions were being made by disinterested directors and that policies had been implemented to define responsible conduct. For example, in the absence of audit, nominating and compensation committees comprised of at least a majority of independent directors, decisions concerning matters such as compensation packages to our senior officers and recommendations for director nominees may be made by a majority of directors who have an interest in the outcome of the matters being decided. Prospective investors should bear in mind our current lack of corporate governance measures in formulating their investment decisions.
We may be exposed to potential risks relating to our internal control over financial reporting.
As directed by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“SOX 404”), the SEC has adopted rules requiring public companies to include a report of management on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting in its annual reports. While we expect to expend significant resources in developing the necessary documentation and testing procedures required by SOX 404, there is a risk that we will not comply with all of the requirements imposed thereby. At present, there is no precedent available with which to measure compliance adequately. In the event we identify significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting that we cannot remediate in a timely manner, investors and others may lose confidence in the reliability of our financial statements and our ability to obtain equity or debt financing could suffer.
We have a large number of authorized but unissued shares of our common stock.
We have a large number of authorized but unissued shares of common stock, which our management may issue without further stockholder approval, thereby causing dilution of your holdings of our common stock. Our management will continue to have broad discretion to issue shares of our common stock in a range of transactions, including capital-raising transactions, mergers, acquisitions and other transactions, without obtaining stockholder approval, unless stockholder approval is required. If our management determines to issue shares of our common stock from the large pool of authorized but unissued shares for any purpose in the future, your ownership position would be diluted without your further ability to vote on that transaction.
Shares of our common stock may continue to be subject to illiquidity because our shares may continue to be thinly traded and may never become eligible for trading on a national securities exchange.
While we may at some point be able to meet the requirements necessary for our common stock to be listed on a national securities exchange, we cannot assure you that we will ever achieve a listing of our common stock on a national securities exchange. Our shares will only eligible for quotation on the OTC Markets, which is not an exchange. Initial listing on a national securities exchange is subject to a variety of requirements, including minimum trading price and minimum public “float” requirements, and could also be affected by the general skepticism of such markets concerning companies that are the result of mergers with inactive publicly-held companies. There are also continuing eligibility requirements for companies listed on public trading markets. If we are unable to satisfy the initial or continuing eligibility requirements of any such market, then our stock may not be listed or could be delisted. This could result in a lower trading price for our common stock and may limit your ability to sell your shares, any of which could result in you losing some or all of your investments.
| 7 |
The market valuation of our business may fluctuate due to factors beyond our control and the value of your investment may fluctuate correspondingly.
The market valuation of emerging growth companies, such as us, frequently fluctuate due to factors unrelated to the past or present operating performance of such companies. Our market valuation may fluctuate significantly in response to a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control, including:
| i. | changes in securities analysts’ estimates of our financial performance, although there are currently no analysts covering our stock;
| |
| ii. | fluctuations in stock market prices and volumes, particularly among securities of emerging growth companies;
| |
| iii. | changes in market valuations of similar companies;
| |
| iv. | announcements by us or our competitors of significant contracts, new technologies, acquisitions, commercial relationships, joint ventures or capital commitments;
| |
| v. | variations in our quarterly operating results;
| |
| vi. | fluctuations in related commodities prices; and
| |
| vii. | additions or departures of key personnel. |
As a result, the value of your investment in us may fluctuate.
We have never paid dividends on our common stock.
We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock and do not presently intend to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. Investors should not look to dividends as a source of income.
In the interest of reinvesting initial profits back into our business, we do not intend to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Consequently, any economic return will initially be derived, if at all, from appreciation in the fair market value of our stock, and not as a result of dividend payments.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
This discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements that have been prepared under accounting principle generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
A summary of significant accounting policies is included in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report. Of these policies, we believe that the following items are the most critical in preparing our financial statements.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company follows paragraph 310-10-50-9 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to estimate the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company performs on-going credit evaluations of its customers and adjusts credit limits based upon payment history and the customer’s current credit worthiness, as determined by the review of their current credit information; and determines the allowance for doubtful accounts based on historical write-off experience, customer specific facts and economic conditions.
Outstanding account balances are reviewed individually for collectability. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company’s existing accounts receivable. Bad debt expense is included in general and administrative expenses, if any. Pursuant to paragraph 310-10-50-2 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company has adopted paragraph 310-10-50-6 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification and determine when receivables are past due or delinquent based on how recently payments have been received.
| 13 |
Inventories
Inventories consists of products purchased and are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined on the weighted average cost method. The Company reduces inventories for the diminution of value, resulting from product obsolescence, damage or other issues affecting marketability, equal to the difference between the cost of the inventory and its estimated net realizable value. Factors utilized in the determination of estimated net realizable value include (i) current sales data and historical return rates, (ii) estimates of future demand, (iii) competitive pricing pressures, (iv) new product introductions, (v) product expiration dates, and (vi) component and packaging obsolescence.
The Company evaluates its current level of inventories considering historical sales and other factors and, based on this evaluation, classify inventory markdowns in the income statement as a component of cost of goods sold pursuant to Paragraph 420-10-S99 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to adjust inventories to net realizable value. These markdowns are estimates, which could vary significantly from actual requirements if future economic conditions, customer demand or competition differ from expectations.
Revenue Recognition
The Company’s revenue recognition policies are in compliance with ASC 606. Revenue is recognized when the promised goods or services are transferred to the customer. The amount of revenue recognized should equal the total consideration an entity expects to receive in return for the goods or services.
Our revenues are primarily generated by providing professional services and software products, consulting and other professional services to our clients and are billable to our clients based on the services provided, or achieved outcomes. Revenues are primarily driven by the total value, scope, and terms of the consulting contracts. We also engage independent contractors to supplement our revenue-generating professionals on client engagements as needed.
We adopt a fixed fee billing arrangement and agree to a pre-established fee in exchange for a predetermined set of professional services. We set the fees based on our estimates of the costs and timing for completing the engagements.
Our quarterly results are impacted principally by the total value, scope, and terms of our client contracts. Our utilization rate can be affected by seasonal variations in the demand for our services from our clients.
Our operating expenses include professional fees, technology costs, software and data hosting expenses, rent and other office related expenses.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company follows Section 830-10-45 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Section 830-10-45”) for foreign currency translation to translate the financial statements of the foreign subsidiary from the functional currency, generally the local currency, into U.S. Dollars. Section 830-10-45 sets out the guidance relating to how a reporting entity determines the functional currency of a foreign entity (including of a foreign entity in a highly inflationary economy), re-measures the books of record (if necessary), and characterizes transaction gains and losses. the assets, liabilities, and operations of a foreign entity shall be measured using the functional currency of that entity. An entity’s functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates; normally, that is the currency of the environment, or local currency, in which an entity primarily generates and expends cash.
The functional currency of each foreign subsidiary is determined based on management’s judgment and involves consideration of all relevant economic facts and circumstances affecting the subsidiary. Generally, the currency in which the subsidiary transacts a majority of its transactions, including billings, financing, payroll and other expenditures, would be considered the functional currency, but any dependency upon the parent and the nature of the subsidiary’s operations must also be considered. If a subsidiary’s functional currency is deemed to be the local currency, then any gain or loss associated with the translation of that subsidiary’s financial statements is included in accumulated other comprehensive income. However, if the functional currency is deemed to be the U.S. Dollar, then any gain or loss associated with the re-measurement of these financial statements from the local currency to the functional currency would be included in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). If the Company disposes of foreign subsidiaries, then any cumulative translation gains or losses would be recorded into the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). If the Company determines that there has been a change in the functional currency of a subsidiary to the U.S. Dollar, any translation gains or losses arising after the date of change would be included within the statement of comprehensive income (loss).
| 14 |
Based on an assessment of the factors discussed above, the management of the Company determined the relevant subsidiaries’ local currencies to be their respective functional currencies.
Foreign currency translation gains (loss) resulting from the process of translating the local currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in determining accumulated other comprehensive income in the consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity.

There were no recent changes in auditor appointment and engagement.
| ITEM 9A. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. |
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
The Company maintains a set of disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that this information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including the Company's chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
During the course of internal evaluation, following control weaknesses are noted for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 that required correction:
| • | no independent director exists in the Board of Directors, and the directors have little understanding about U.S. GAAP and Sarbanes-Oxley Act 404 requirements in 2022. |
Based upon their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this annual report, the Company's chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, due to the significant deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting described below, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are not effective as of December 31, 2022.
| 15 |
Changes in internal controls.
The term “internal control over financial reporting” (defined in SEC Rule 13a-15(f)) refers to the process of a company that is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company’s management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth quarter of the year covered by this annual report, and they have concluded that there was no change to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the company in accordance with as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the (i) effectiveness and efficiency of operations, (ii) reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and (iii) compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Our internal controls framework is based on the criteria set forth in the Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
Due to inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.
A material weakness in internal controls is a deficiency in internal control, or combination of control deficiencies, that adversely affects the Company’s ability to initiate, authorize, record, process, or report external financial data reliably in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected. In the course of making our assessment of the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting, we identified some material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting.
We lack sufficient personnel with the appropriate level of knowledge, experience and training in the application of accounting operations of our company. This weakness causes us to not fully identify and resolve accounting and disclosure issues that could lead to a failure to perform timely internal control and reviews.
Management is currently reviewing its staffing and systems in order to remedy the weaknesses identified in this assessment. However, because of the above condition, management’s assessment is that the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of December 31, 2022. Additionally, the Registrant’s management has concluded that the Registrant has a material weakness associated with its U.S. GAAP expertise.
This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of SUIC Worldwide Holdings Ltd.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of SUIC Worldwide Holdings Ltd (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2022, and the related statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the financial year ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the financial year ended December 31, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Explanatory Paragraph – Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, developing new businesses in various fields raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to the Financial Statements
NOTE 1 – Organization and Basis of presentation
SUIC Worldwide Holdings Ltd (SUIC) is a Nevada corporation incorporated on August 30, 2006, under the name Gateway Certifications, Inc. On November 16, 2009, our corporate name was changed to American Jianye Greentech Holdings, Ltd. on February 13, 2014, our corporate name was changed to AJ Greentech Holdings, Ltd. and on July 17, 2017, our corporate name was changed to Sino United Worldwide Consolidated Ltd. On November 9, 2022, our corporate name was changed to SUIC Worldwide Holdings Ltd.
From November 2009 until October, 2013, through our China and Taiwan subsidiaries, we were engaged renewable energy business. From October 2013 until September, 2017, through our Taiwan subsidiary, we were engaged in the driving record management system (DMS). Both Subsidiaries was spun off through stock transfer and debt cancellation for the best interest of shareholder.
From 2018 to present, the Company focused in products and services that adopt IT, cloud computing, mobile payments, Big Data, Blockchain and AI, and other new and exciting business models that will create revolutionary products and services. On August 7, 2021, the Company has acquired 49% of the registered shares of Midas Touch Technology Co. Ltd., a digital asset management platform and company registered in the U.K. From 2020 to present, the Company through promissory notes becomes major creditor and stakeholder in Beneway Holdings Group (its corporate name was changed from Sinoway International Corp.). As of December 31, 2022, Midas Touch Technology Co. Ltd., doesn’t have any operation and net assets. The company works with Beneway Holdings Group in several new business ventures with focus on the following fields:
1. Fintech platform: Through its global digital asset management platform and fintech products, Beneway Holdings Group connects borrower and lenders, comprising of digital wallets, electronic cards, P2P lenders, suppliers, manufacturers. Building strategic partnerships by bridging the various stakeholders in providing a holistic financial delivery ecosystem. Three major financial products are Beneway Flash Pay™, Beneway CQ Pay™ and Beneway Unified Procurement™ that help merchants to focus on business and marketing development. The company has signed letters of intent with several entities who are interested to participate in this business. Please refer to subsequent events.
2. Food Supply Chain Integration: Food Industry Supply Chain Integration: Beneway Holdings Group is working to promote the processes of integration for bringing reputable and distinguished overseas food product brands to the United States and globally. Food products are supplied from various origins, including ISO and HACCP-certified central kitchen food processing & production facilities, and distributed through online and offline smart store equipment systems, one-stop operation sales services, and facilitated by investments through capital management and mergers & acquisitions for vertical integration of the supply chain. The company has signed and shared letters of intents with I.H Art Company Limited, and the established supply chain integration in Taiwan will support Beneway’s food industry integration for product distribution through the US as well as globally. Please refer to subsequent events.
3. Global Franchise Expansion: With the five established franchise brands under I.H Art Company Limited and other well-known franchise brands in Asia, Beneway is planning to aggressively achieve its global franchise goal by fine-tuning the right mix of media-based marketing strategies, including search engine optimization, paid advertising, leveraging public relations on digital platforms, and maximizing conversion-based metrics through demographic targeting, geofencing, pay-per-click advertising, social medial publishing and management, hyper-local franchise marketing and much more. To maximize the growth and performance of the franchise goals, Beneway has identified several nationally-renowned franchise marketing and consulting companies to launch its franchise campaign nationally.
4. Supply Chain Integration of other industries: Beneway Holdings Group has identified several other industries for future expansion: medical and healthcare, high-tech digital AI systems, environmental protections, and energy related production. This will be accomplished through Beneway Holdings Group chief marketing plan, known as “The Starry-
Project”, to build extensive networks focused on streamlining the distribution of products and increase the sales and market shares of the products in all 50 states of America. This will all be facilitated through Beneway’s fintech solutions that allow for fast financing capabilities for business development, and capital investment dedicated to select mergers and acquisitions in the vertical integration of our supply chain model.
Certain amounts in last year’s financial statements have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.
NOTE 2 – Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company had a working capital deficit of $, an accumulated deficit of $ and stockholders’ deficit was $as of December 31, 2022. The Company didn’t generate cash or income from its continuing operation. There is substantial doubt about the ability of the entity to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
The company is seeking for external resource of financing and develop new business in new field to generate adequate cash flow for purpose of mitigating such unfavorable situation. As discussed in “NOTE 9 –Subsequent Events,” the Company plans to have joint venture with other company and cooperation with other companies in order to attract new investment and expand new business practice.
NOTE 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made. However, actual results could differ materially from those results. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements included the valuation of accounts receivable, the estimated useful lives of long-term assets, the valuation of short-term investment and the valuation of deferred tax assets.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and deposits placed with banks or other financial institutions, which are unrestricted as to withdrawal and use and with an original maturity of three months or less. The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts. Cash accounts are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on such cash.
| F-7 |
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company follows paragraph 310-10-50-9 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to estimate the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company performs on-going credit evaluations of its customers and adjusts credit limits based upon payment history and the customer’s current credit worthiness, as determined by the review of their current credit information; and determines the allowance for doubtful accounts based on historical write-off experience, customer specific facts and economic conditions.
Outstanding account balances are reviewed individually for collectability. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company’s existing accounts receivable. Bad debt expense is included in general and administrative expenses, if any. Pursuant to paragraph 310-10-50-2 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company has adopted paragraph 310-10-50-6 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification and determine when receivables are past due or delinquent based on how recently payments have been received.
For the
years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded bad debt expenses of $
Revenue Recognition
The Company’s revenue recognition policies are in compliance with ASC 606. Revenue is recognized when the promised goods or services are transferred to the customer. The amount of revenue recognized should equal the total consideration an entity expects to receive in return for the goods or services.
Our revenues are primarily generated by providing professional services and software products, consulting and other professional services to our clients and are billable to our clients based on the services provided, or achieved outcomes. Revenues are primarily driven by the total value, scope, and terms of the consulting contracts. We also engage independent contractors to supplement our revenue-generating professionals on client engagements as needed.
We adopt a fixed fee billing arrangement and agree to a pre-established fee in exchange for a predetermined set of professional services. We set the fees based on our estimates of the costs and timing for completing the engagements.
Our quarterly results are impacted principally by the total value, scope, and terms of our client contracts. Our utilization rate can be affected by seasonal variations in the demand for our services from our clients. As of December 31, 2022, we generated revenue from the US.
Our operating expenses include professional fees, technology costs, software and data hosting expenses, and other office related expenses.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Property and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold and tenant improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful lives of the assets. The Company periodically reviews assets’ estimated useful lives based upon actual experience and expected future utilization. A change in useful life is treated as a change in accounting estimate and is applied prospectively.
Upon retirement or disposition of property and equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in selling, general and administrative expenses for that period. Major additions and betterments are capitalized to the asset accounts while maintenance and repairs, which do not improve or extend the lives of assets, are expensed as incurred. Investments in Non-Consolidated Entities.
| F-8 |
Investments in Non-Consolidated Entities
Investments in non-consolidated entities are accounted for using the equity method or cost basis depending upon the level of ownership and/or the Company's ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the investee. When the equity method is used, investments are recorded at original cost and adjusted periodically to recognize the Company's proportionate share of the investees' net income or losses after the date of investment. When net losses from an investment are accounted for under the equity method exceed its carrying amount, the investment balance is reduced to zero and additional losses are not provided for. The Company resumes accounting for the investment under the equity method if the entity subsequently reports net income and the Company's share of that net income exceeds the share of net losses not recognized during the period the equity method was suspended. Investments are written down only when there is clear evidence that a decline in value that is other than temporary has occurred.
As ASC 321 stipulated, if the investor has less than 20% ownership, it is presumed that there is nominal influence or no significant influence over the operating and financing activities of the investee. The Company holds 10% stock of iDrink, Taiwan, which is a private company without readily determinable fair value. Thus, the Company carried the investment at cost for each reporting period the Company keep tracking on the qualitative factors in assessing whether the investment is impaired. As of December 31, 2022, no impairment takes place.
For investment in Midas Touch Technology Co. Ltd., we have 49% ownership and have significant influence on it, so we adopt equity method to recognize the investment. Due to this company didn’t have any net assets and operation yet as of December 31, 2022, we account for it as $0.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes, which requires that the Company recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect in the years the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred income tax benefit (expense) results from the change in net deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities. A valuation allowance is recorded when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some or all of any deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The Company adopted ASC 740-10-25, Income Taxes- Overall-Recognition, on January 1, 2007, which provides criteria for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax position. The Company must recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution. The Company did not recognize any additional liabilities for uncertain tax positions as a result of the implementation of ASC 740-10-25.
On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) was enacted by the U.S. government which included a wide range of tax reform affecting businesses including the corporate tax rates, international tax provisions, tax credits and deduction with majority of the tax provision effective after December 31, 2017.
The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economy Security (CARES) Act (“the CARES Act, H.R. 748”) was signed into law on 27 March 2020. The CARES Act temporarily eliminates the 80% taxable income limitation (as enacted under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017) for NOL deductions for 2018-2020 tax years and reinstated NOL carrybacks for the 2018-2020 tax years. Moreover, the CARES Act also temporarily increases the business interest deduction limitations from 30% to 50% of adjusted taxable income for the 2019 and 2020 taxable year. Lastly, the Tax Act technical correction classifies qualified improvement property as 15-year recovery period, allowing the bonus depreciation deduction to be claimed for such property retroactively as if it was included in the Tax Act at the time of enactment.
The Company accounts for an unrecognized tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities.
The Company calculates its basic and diluted earnings per share in accordance with ASC 260. Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share are calculated by adjusting the weighted average outstanding shares to assume conversion of all potentially dilutive warrants and options and convertible securities. Due to impact of assumption of total conversion of the convertible securities, the number of basic and diluted shares of common stock is 33,503,604 and 320,503,604 respectively.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2017, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) released Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (the “Bulletin”), which provides accounting guidance regarding accounting for income taxes for the reporting period that includes the enactment of the Tax Act. The Bulletin provides guidance in those situations where the accounting for certain income tax effects of the Tax Act will be incomplete by the time financial statements are issued for the reporting period that includes the enactment date. For those elements of the Tax Act that cannot be reasonably estimated, no effect will be recorded.
The SEC has provided in the Bulletin that in situations where the accounting is incomplete for certain effects of the Tax Act, a measurement period which begins in the reporting period that includes the enactment of the Tax Act and ends when the entity has obtained, prepared and analyzed the information is needed in order to complete the accounting requirements. The measurement period shall not exceed one year from enactment.
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income,” which allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. This guidance is effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The amendments in ASU 2018-02 should be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is recognized. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, when adopted, will have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.
