2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company are prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchanges Commission (“SEC”) and in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“US GAAP”). All material inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation. The Company has adopted December 31 as its fiscal year end.
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of estimates
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts 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 estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost and represent cash on hand, demand deposits placed with banks or other financial institutions and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less as of the purchase date of such investments. Under the PRC Foreign Exchange Control Regulations and Administration of Settlement, Sales and Payment of Foreign Exchange Regulations, the Company is permitted to exchange Chinese Renminbi for foreign currencies through banks that are authorized to conduct foreign exchange business.
Prepayment, Deposits and Other Receivables
Prepayments and deposits are mainly cash deposited or advance payments made to third parties for future purchases or future services such as rent or other general expenses. This amount is refundable and bears no interest. The Company will recognize an allowance account for doubtful accounts to the extent it is probable that a portion or all of a particular account will not be collected. Management reviews its prepayments and deposits on a regular basis to determine if the allowance is adequate and adjusts the allowance when necessary. The Company’s management continues to evaluate the reasonableness of the allowance policy and update it if necessary. No allowance for doubtful accounts was made for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.
Lease
The Company adopted the ASU No. 2016-02, on October 15, 2019 (date of inception). The Company leases office space for fixed periods with pre-emptive extension options. The Company recognizes lease payments for its short-term lease on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
As
of March 31, 2023, the Company has
In determining the present value of the unpaid lease payments, ASC 842 requires a lessee to discount its unpaid lease payments using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, its incremental borrowing rate. As most of the Company leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for the lease. The Company incremental borrowing rate is estimated to approximate the interest rate on a collateralized basis with similar terms and payments.
| F-6 |
Revenue Recognition
The Company generates two streams of revenue.
The first stream of revenue is generated through sale of goods, primarily Bio-Carbon-Based-Fertilizer (“BCBF”). Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services and is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, the standard requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The amount of revenue that is recorded reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods and services. The Company applies the following five-step model in order to determine this amount:
(i) identification of the promised goods and services in the contract;
(ii) determination of whether the promised goods and services are performance obligations, including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract;
(iii) measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration;
(iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and
(v) recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation.
The Company adopted ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). Under Topic 606, the Company records revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectability is probable. The Company records revenue from the sale of product upon shipment or delivery of the products to the customer.
The second stream of revenue is generated through online retailing business, adopting ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) – Principal versus Agent Considerations. Under this policy, the Company should determine whether it is a principal or an agent when there is third party involved in providing goods and services to a customer. In our online retailing business, the Company was identified as an agent as the Company do not retain any form of inventory nor provides any form of after sales service and logistic but merely rely on supplier to fulfill such purposes. As such, revenue is being recognized on net basis, i.e. gross revenue received from customer deduct the cost of purchase to supplier.
Shipping, Storage and Handling costs
Costs for shipping, storage and handling activities, including those activities that occur subsequent to transfer of control to the customer, are recorded as selling and distribution expense and are expensed as incurred. The Company accrues costs for shipping, storage and handling activities that occur after control of the promised good has transferred to the customer.
The Company reports earnings per share in accordance with ASC 260 “Earnings Per Share”, which requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share in conjunction with the disclosure of the methodology used in computing such earnings per share. Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share takes into account the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised and converted into common stock. Further, if the number of common shares outstanding increases as a result of a stock dividend or stock split or decreases as a result of a reverse stock split, the computations of a basic and diluted earnings per share shall be adjusted retroactively for all periods presented to reflect that change in capital structure.
The Company’s basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income available to holders by the weighted average number of the Company’s ordinary shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share reflects the amount of net income available to each ordinary share outstanding during the period plus the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding if potentially dilutive securities had been issued.
Inventories
Inventories consist of finished goods and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the first-in first-out method. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. The Company reviews its inventories regularly for possible obsolete goods and establishes reserves when determined necessary.
| F-7 |
Related parties
Parties, which can be a corporation or individual, are considered to be related if the Company has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Companies are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method prescribed by ASC 740 “Income Taxes”. 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 years in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to offset 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 as income or loss in the period that includes the enactment date.
New
U.S. federal tax legislation, commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “U.S. Tax Reform”), was signed into
law on December 22, 2017. The U.S. Tax Reform modified the U.S. Internal Revenue Code by, among other things, reducing the statutory
U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from
Foreign Currency Translation
Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the statements of operations.
The reporting currency of the Company is United States Dollars (“US$”). The Company’s subsidiary in Seychelles, Hong Kong and PRC have functional currencies in United States Dollars (“US$”), Hong Kong Dollars (“HK$”) and Chinese Renminbi (“CNY¥”) respectively.
In general, for consolidation purposes, assets and liabilities of its subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the US$ are translated into US$, in accordance with ASC Topic 830-30, “Translation of Financial Statement”, using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the period. The gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the statement of stockholders’ equity.
Translation of amounts from the local currencies of the Company into US$ has been made at the following exchange rates for the respective periods:
SCHEDULE OF FOREIGN CURRENCIES TRANSLATION
For the three March 31, 2023 | For the three March 31, 2022 | |||||||
| Period-end HK$ : US$1 exchange rate | ||||||||

| F-8 |
Fair Value Measurement
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The statement clarifies that the exchange price is the price in an orderly transaction between market participants to sell the asset or transfer the liability in the market in which the reporting entity would transact for the asset or liability, that is, the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability. It also emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement, and that market participant assumptions include assumptions about risk and effect of a restriction on the sale or use of an asset.
This ASC establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and
Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (Topic 326). ASU 2016-13 requires entities to use a forward-looking approach based on current expected credit losses (“CECL”) to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables. This may result in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2023, and early adoption is permitted.
The Company reviews new accounting standards as issued. Management has not identified any other new standards that it believes will have a significant impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Economic and political risks
Substantially all the Company’s services are conducted in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”), of which operations in the PRC are subject to special considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in rest of the world. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environment and foreign currency exchange. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in the political conditions in the PRC, and by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion, remittances abroad, and rates and methods of taxation.
COVID-19 Uncertainty
An outbreak of respiratory illness caused by the novel coronavirus, commonly referred as “COVID-19” emerged in late 2019 and has spread globally. The COVID-19 is considered to be highly contagious and poses a serious public health threat. The World Health Organization labelled the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic on March 11, 2020, given its threat beyond a public health emergency of international concern the organization had declared on January 30, 2020.
The epidemic has resulted in social-distancing restrictions, travel restrictions, and the temporary closure of stores and facilities. The negative impacts of the COVID-19 outbreak on our business may include, but not strictly be limited to:
| - | The uncertain economic conditions may refrain clients from engaging our services. | |
| - | The operations of businesses in most industries have been, and could continue to be, negatively impacted by the epidemic, which may in turn adversely impact their business performance. |
We are unable to accurately predict the impact that the COVID-19 will have due to various uncertainties, including the ultimate geographic spread of the virus, the severity of the disease, the duration of the outbreak globally, and effectiveness of the actions that may be taken by governmental authorities. Additionally, it is possible that we may face similar difficulties from future events, such as this, should there be at any point another global pandemic. As of the current date, we do not believe that we have been directly impacted by Covid-19. However, economies throughout the world have been impacted significantly in a vast number of ways, and we cannot state with any level of certainty to what extent we may have been indirectly impacted by market conditions as a result of the pandemic and/or if the pandemic has forestalled, in any capacity, our growth to date.

4. GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTIES
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company generated
a profit of $
The Company’s cash position may not be significant enough to support the Company’s daily operations. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to improve profitability and the ability to acquire funding through public offering. If funding from public offering is insufficient, then the Company shall rely on the financial support from its controlling shareholder.
These and other factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that financial statements are issued. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result in the Company not being able to continue as a going concern.

Company Overview
The Company has seen a business opportunity in wholesaling and retailing high quality, sustainable, environmentally friendly bio-carbon-based fertilizer (herein referred to as “BCBF”), which is capable of not only increasing the crop yield but also at the same time preserving the environment. The Company’s BCBF is sourced from, and produced by, a third party through heating straw in a closed container with little or no available air. This method is also known as thermal decomposition of organic material under limited supply of oxygen at relatively low temperature. In accordance with requirements imposed by the PRC Ministry of Agriculture, the Company’s Supplier of BCBF has registered with Sichuan Province Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, which has an effective period of 5 years, from December 2019 to December 2024. The Company does not maintain or operate any production and/or manufacturing of any BCBF facility, machine and/or equipment.
The Company is currently wholesaling and retailing BCBF through its wholly owned subsidiary SCQC. Management of the Company believes that the BCBF sold by the Company is capable of maintaining soil fertility, enhancing crop yield, improving soil structure, improving water and fertilizer retention capability and improving fertilizer utilization efficiency and effectiveness. This is achieved through balancing carbon and nitrogen content, neutralizing soil pH while at the same time creating soil particle structure that is conducive to plant growth.
The BCBF sold by the Company, produced through straw thermal decomposition, replaces the function of activated carbon. The combination of soil and BCBF is capable of absorbing and reducing pollution content such as heavy metals from agricultural residual wastes. Further, the combination of water and BCBF is capable of purifying water by producing carbohydrate and glucose, which could be absorbed by, and is conducive to the growth of, plants. Additionally, BCBF possesses outstanding water storage capacity, which can store up to 10 times the water content when compared to soil without BCBF, which in turn provides farmers greater flexibility during times of hardship such as a drought.
As such, the management of the Company believes that the Company’s BCBF is not only a superior option compared to conventional fertilizer in terms of environmentally sustainability, but also from an economic perspective due to the improvement in crop yield quality and quantity. The Company’s BCBF consists of roughly 45% organic matter, 20% bio-charcoal, 10% humic acid, 5% NPK and boats an effective microorganism count of 20,000,000 per gram.
On July 25, 2022, the Company ventures into online retailing business through e-commerce platform, retailing a series of daily use products covering from healthcare products, cosmetic products, fashion products, household products and so forth. Customer will place order through platform and make payment accordingly of which shall be collected by Company. Meanwhile Company shall place exact order towards supplier and supplier will deliver such ordered products directly to customer, settlement between Company and supplier will take place once a week. It is worth mentioning that the Company act as the intermediary role and do not keep any form of inventory throughout the transaction.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company has received cash provided by director amounting to $14,202.
Foreign Currency
Most of our revenues and operating expenses are denominated in Renminbi. The Renminbi is currently freely convertible under the “current account,” which includes dividends, trade and service-related foreign exchange transactions, but not under the “capital account,” which includes foreign direct investment and loans. Under our current corporate structure, our company in the United States may rely on dividend payments from our PRC subsidiaries to fund any cash and financing requirements we may have.
Under existing PRC foreign exchange regulations, payments of current account items, including payment of dividends, interest payments and trade and service-related foreign exchange transactions, can be made in foreign currencies without prior approval of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or SAFE, by complying with certain procedural requirements. Our PRC subsidiaries may also retain foreign exchange in its current account, subject to a ceiling approved by SAFE, to satisfy foreign exchange liabilities or to pay dividends. However, we cannot assure you that the relevant PRC governmental authorities will not limit or eliminate our ability to purchase and retain foreign currencies in the future.
| -4- |
Since a significant amount of our future revenues will be denominated in Renminbi, the existing and any future restrictions on currency exchange may limit our ability to utilize revenues generated in Renminbi to fund our business activities outside China, if any, or expenditures denominated in foreign currencies.
Foreign exchange transactions under the capital account are subject to limitations and require registration with or approval by the relevant PRC governmental authorities. In particular, any transfer of funds from us to any of our PRC subsidiaries, either as a shareholder loan or as an increase in registered capital, is subject to certain statutory limit requirements and registration or approval of the relevant PRC governmental authorities, including the relevant administration of foreign exchange and/or the relevant examining and approval authority. Our ability to use the U.S. dollar proceeds of the sale of our equity or debt to finance our business activities conducted through our PRC subsidiaries will depend on our ability to obtain these governmental registrations or approvals. In addition, because of the regulatory issues related to foreign currency loans to, and foreign investment in, domestic PRC enterprises, we may not be able to finance the operations of our PRC subsidiaries by loans or capital contributions. We cannot assure you that we can obtain these governmental registrations or approvals on a timely basis, if at all.
The amount of cash denominated in RMB is approximately CNY6,590 (Equivalent to USD 959) as of March 31, 2023.
Off-balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to our stockholders as of March 31, 2023.
Contractual Obligations
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the aforementioned information.
Critical Accounting Policies
Recent accounting pronouncements
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (Topic 326). ASU 2016-13 requires entities to use a forward-looking approach based on current expected credit losses (“CECL”) to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables. This may result in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2023, and early adoption is permitted.
The Company reviews new accounting standards as issued. Management has not identified any other new standards that it believes will have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Item 3 Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, the Company is not required to provide information required by this Item.
Item 4 Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2023. Based on the evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures, and in light of the material weaknesses found in our internal controls over financial reporting, our chief executive officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. The matters involving internal controls and procedures that our management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: (i) lack of a functioning audit committee due to a lack of a majority of independent members and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; (ii) inadequate segregation of duties and effective risk assessment; (iii) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of both US GAAP and SEC guidelines; and (iv) lack of internal audit function due to the fact that the Company lacks qualified resources to perform the internal audit functions properly and that the scope and effectiveness of the internal audit function are yet to be developed. The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified by our chief executive officer in connection with the review of our financial statements as of March 31, 2023.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting 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 reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The internal controls for the Company are provided by executive management’s review and approval of all transactions. Our internal control over financial reporting also includes those policies and procedures that:
| 1. | pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; | |
| 2. | provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with the authorization of our management; and | |
| 3. | provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. |
| -6- |
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2023. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Management’s assessment included an evaluation of the design of our internal control over financial reporting and testing of the operational effectiveness of these controls.
As of March 31, 2023, management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in 2013 and SEC guidance on conducting such assessments. Based on such evaluation, the Company’s management concluded that, during the period covered by this Report, our internal control over financial reporting were not effective due to the presence of material weaknesses.
Management’s Remediation Initiatives
Since 2021, we engaged Dude Business Consultants Limited as an external consultant to assist with the identification and address of complex and proper accounting issues. Dude Business Consultants Limited has extensive experience on US listing and company reporting, including GAAP conversion, account consolidation and drafting of notes to accounts. Their professional team focus on national stock exchanges and OTC Markets listing, from corporate restructuring, supervision of listing timeline to strategy planning.
In an effort to remediate the identified material weaknesses and other deficiencies and enhance our internal controls, we also plan to initiate the following series of measures to further strengthen the Company’s internal controls going forward:
| 1. | hire a reporting manager (“Internal Finance Manager”) who has the requisite relevant U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting experience and qualifications; |
| 2. | make an overall assessment on the current finance and accounting resources and hire additional accounting members with appropriate levels of accounting knowledge and experience; |
| 3. | streamline our accounting department structure and enhance our staff’s U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting requirements on a continuous basis through internal training provided by the Internal Finance manager; |
| 4. | participate in trainings and seminars provided by professional services firms on a regular basis to gain knowledge on regular U.S. GAAP / SEC reporting requirements updates; and |
| 5. | engage an external “Sarbanes-Oxley 404” consulting firm to help us implement Sarbanes-Oxley 404 internal controls compliance together with the establishment of our internal audit function. |
We anticipate that these initiatives will be at least partially, if not fully, implemented by the end of fiscal year 2023.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting:
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the nine months ending March 31, 2023, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
