PART I

 

Item 1. Business

 

Company Background

 

Fortune Valley Treasures, Inc. (“FVTI” or the “Company”) , formerly Crypto-Services, Inc. (“CRYT”), was incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 21, 2014. We were initially incorporated to offer users with up-to-date information on digital currencies worldwide online.

 

On July 22, 2015, the Company filed an amendment to its Articles of Incorporation with the Nevada Secretary of State changing its name from Crypto-Services, Inc. to Fortune Valley Treasures, Inc.

 

As previously reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on December 14, 2016, we entered into a Sale and Purchase Agreement (the “Original Agreement”) with DaXingHuaShang Investment Group Limited (“DIGL”) and its shareholders, Mr. Yumin Lin, Gaosheng Group Co., Ltd. and China Kaipeng Group Co., Ltd. to acquire 100% of the shares and assets of DIGL, a company incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Seychelles. Pursuant to the Original Agreement, FVTI had agreed to issue Three Hundred Million (300,000,000) shares of common stock of FVTI to the existing stockholders of DIGL to acquire 100% of the shares of DIGL.

 

On December 14, 2016, in anticipation of the reverse merger between the Company and DIGL, Shen Xinlong resigned from the position of President, Secretary and Treasurer but remained on the Board as a Director. Additionally, the Company announced the appointment of Mr. Yumin Lin to the Board of Directors, and as President, Secretary and Treasurer.

 

On April 11, 2018, the Company entered into a termination agreement (“Termination Agreement”) with DIGL, terminating the Original Agreement and all transactions contemplated under the Original Agreement.

 

On April 11, 2018, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Agreement”) to acquire 100% of the outstanding equity securities of DIGL. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company agreed to issue 300 million (300,000,000) shares of common stock, par value $0.001 of the Company to the existing stockholders of DIGL to acquire 100% outstanding equity securities of DIGL (the “Share Exchange”). The Share Exchange closed on April 19, 2018

 

Immediately following the Share Exchange, the business of DIGL became our business. DIGL is engaged in the business of retail and wholesale of imported wine products in China. We now own all of the issued and outstanding shares of DIGL, which owns all of the equity capital of DaXingHuaShang Investment (Hong Kong) Limited, Qianhai DaXingHuaShang Investment (Shenzhen) Co. Ltd., and Dongguan City France Vin Tout Ltd.

 

On March 1, 2019, we executed a Sale and Purchase Agreement (the “SP Agreement”) to acquire 100% of the shares and assets of Jiujiu Group Stock Co., Ltd. (“JJGS”), a company incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Seychelles. The transaction contemplated in the SP Agreement was closed on March 1, 2019.

 

Pursuant to the SP Agreement, the Company has issued one hundred (100) shares of the Company’s common stock to JJGS to acquire 100% of the shares and assets of JJGS for a cost of US$150 reflecting the value of the rights, titles and interests in the business assets and all attendant or related assets of JJGS. Both parties agreed that this share issuance by the Company represents payment in full of US$150. Upon Closing, JJGS became the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary. We now own all of the issued and outstanding shares of JJGS, which owns all of the equity capital of Jiujiu (HK) Industry Ltd. and Jiujiu (Shenzhen) Industry Ltd. Currently, JJGS , Jiujiu (HK) Industry Ltd. and Jiujiu (Shenzhen) Industry Ltd. do not have any operations or active business, nor do they have any assets.

 

Currently, we are engaged in the retail and wholesale wine product business in Dongguan City, Guangdong Province. Our office is located at No.10 of Tuanjie 2nd Road, Beice, Humen, Dongguan, 518000, China. Our telephone number is: + (86) 76982268999

We offer a variety of wines such as dry red wine, dry white wine, rosé wine, and sweet wine. Currently we sell about 40 different brands of wine, most of which are imported from France and Spain.

 

Below is a list of the most popular products we are selling—

We have put significant efforts in developing and promoting our brand name in different regions of China. We adopt two sales models– wholesales to distributors and bulk sales to customers. We diversify our portfolio of distributors to maximize our sales turnover and profits in general. Our distributors include stores, wine shops, regional non-exclusive agents and regional exclusive agents. There are 151 regional exclusive agents and regional non-exclusive agents authorized to sell our products throughout China. For regional exclusive agents, our company grants them exclusive distribution rights in certain geographical territory. For non-exclusive agents, we serve as their supplier and they purchase our products at a higher price than the regional exclusive agents do.

 

After seven years of development, we have cultivated business relationships and achieved recognitions with different organizations over the years, which has improved our business and management efficacy. Specifically, we have been collaborating with Shenzhen Institute of Tsinghua University since 2011, who has been helping us develop innovative management model, operating model and franchising model. Our Company has been a member of Guangdong Provincial Liquor Industry Association since 2011 and was awarded “Excellent Marketing Agency of the Year” in 2012.

 

Our store is located in Humen Town, Dongguan City. It is a six-floor building containing a total floor area of 1200 square meters. We use the first floor exclusively for displaying our sample products. We use the remaining five floors as our Company’s conference room, offices and storage. Our friendly and knowledgeable staff members on the first floor strive to cultivate long-term relationships with customers, helping them make informed purchase decisions.

 

Business Plan

 

Our business plan is to extend our market shares through acquiring quality wine producers and wine importers. Through such business plan, we believe: (i) we can increase our customer base and obtain more wine supply channels; (ii) such acquisitions will help us obtain more skilled employees and business connections in the Chinese wine industry.

 

We consider following factors when evaluating quality acquisition targets: (i) the costs involved in an acquisition; (ii) the financial performance of the target; (iii) the reputation of the target in the wine industry; (iv) the target’s existing customer base; (v) the target’s suppliers; (vi) the expertise and experience of the target’s employees; and (vii) the wine cellar management and inventory condition of the target.

 

Our management believes that successful acquisitions will bring synergies to our business and enhance our shareholders’ value.

 

Government Regulations

 

We operate our business in China under a legal regime consisting of the National People’s Congress, which is the country’s highest legislative body, the State Council, which is the highest authority of the executive branch of the PRC central government, and several ministries and agencies under its authority, including the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, State Administration For Industry & Commerce, State Administration of Taxation and their respective local offices. This section summarizes the principal PRC regulations related to our business.

Revenue

 

Net revenues totaled $95,849 for the year ended December 31, 2018, a decrease of $165,124 compared to that of 2017. This is a 63.3% decrease in net revenues compared to that of 2017. Such decrease was primarily due to a decrease in sales from $139,990 to $46,585 with related parties, and a decrease in sales from $165,124 to $93,405 with non-related parties.

 

Cost of revenue

 

Cost of revenue totaled $46,497 for the year ended December 31, 2018, which is a decrease of $88,231 compared to that of 2017. Such decrease is due to a decrease in our revenue and hence a decrease in our supplies procurement. Our cost of revenues consisted mainly of supplies procurement.

 

Gross profit

 

Gross profit was $49,352 and $126,245 for the year ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The decrease in gross profit was due to a decrease in our revenue in the fiscal year 2018.

 

Operating expenses

 

General and administrative expenses totaled $315,437 for the year ended December 31, 2018, which is an increase of $4,352 compared to that of 2017. The increase was primarily due to an increase in expense for professional services.

 

Net loss

 

Net loss totaled $262,424 for the year ended December 31, 2018, which is an increase of $74,928 compared to that of 2017. Such increase was due to a decrease in our revenue.

Critical Accounting Policy and Estimates

 

In the ordinary course of business, we make a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of results of operations and financial condition in the preparation of our financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. We base our estimates on historical experience, when available, and on other various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates under different assumptions and conditions.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Item 9. Changes in And Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting And Financial Disclosure

 

None.

 

Item 9a. Controls And Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Control and Procedures.

 

We are required to maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, 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 chief executive officer (also our principal executive officer) and our chief financial officer (also our principal financial and accounting officer) to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) (the Company’s principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) (the Company’s principal financial and accounting officer), has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation the Company’s CEO and CFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2018 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s CEO and CFO Mr. Yumin Lin, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The principal basis for this conclusion is the lack of segregation of duties within our financial function and the lack of an operating Audit Committee.

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the company’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and includes those policies and procedures that:

 

  Apply to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company
     
  Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and
     
  Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

  13  
     

 

Because of its 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 or procedures may deteriorate. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.

 

We carried out an assessment, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our CEO and CFO Mr. Yumin Lin, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our internal controls over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of December 31, 2018. Integrated Framework (2013). Based on that assessment and on those criteria, our CEO and CFO concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2018. The principal basis for this conclusion is failure to engage sufficient resources in regards to our accounting and reporting obligations.

 

Attestation Report of Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

This prospectus does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm, regarding internal controls over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting was not subject to such attestation as we are a smaller reporting company.

As reported on the Form 8-K filed by the Company with the SEC on November 22, 2018, the Company’s director, Mr. Xinlong Shen, resigned on November 21, 2018.

 

Other than the foregoing, there was no change in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report, which has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting .

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To: The Board of Directors and Stockholders of
  Fortune Valley Treasures, Inc.

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Fortune Valley Treasures, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2018, 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, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2018, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Emphasis of Matter

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company had incurred substantial losses and has a working capital deficit, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern Management's plans in regards to these matters are also described in Note 3. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainly.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Fortune Valley Treasures, Inc. (formerly Crypto-Services, Inc.) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 21, 2014. The Company’s current primary business operations of wholesale distribution and retail sales of alcoholic beverages of wine and distilled liquors are conducted through its subsidiaries in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”).

 

On January 5, 2018, the Company’s board of directors unanimously approved to modify the Company’s accounting fiscal year end from August 31 to December 31.

 

On January 29, 2018, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment with the State of Nevada to increase its authorized shares to 3,000,000,000.

 

On April 11,2018, the Company entered into share exchange agreement by and among DaXingHuaShang Investment Group Limited (“DIGLS”) and its shareholders: 1.) Yumin Lin, 2.) Gaosheng Group Co., Ltd. and 3.) China Kaipeng Group Co., Ltd whereby the Company newly issued 300,000,000 shares of its common stock in exchange for all the outstanding shares in DIGLS. This transaction has been accounted for a reverse takeover transaction and a recapitalization of the Company whereby the Company, the legal acquirer, is the accounting acquiree, and DIGLS, the legal acquiree, is the accounting acquirer; accordingly, the Company historical statement of stockholders’ equity has been retroactively restated to the first period presented.

 

DIGLS was incorporated with limited liability in the Republic of Seychelles on July 4, 2016, with share capital of $100,000 divided into 250,000,000 ordinary shares with $0.0004 par value. DIGLS wholly owns DaXingHuaShang Investment (Hong Kong) Limited (“DILHK”). DILHK was incorporated in Hong Kong on June 22, 2016 as an investment holding company with limited liability. DILHK was previously wholly owned by Mr. Yumin Lin. On November 11, 2016, Mr. Yumin Lin, transferred 100% of his ownership in DILHK to DIGLS. DILHK wholly owns Qianhai DaXingHuaShang Investment (Shenzhen)Co. Ltd. (“QHDX”) which was incorporated with limited liability on November 3, 2016 in the PRC as a wholly foreign-owned enterprise. QHDX wholly owns Dongguan City France Vin Tout Ltd. (“FVTL”). FTVL was incorporated on May 31, 2011 in the PRC with limited liability. FTVL was previously owned and controlled by Mr. Yumin Lin. FTVL has been a license to sell foods up through September 10, 2022. On November 20, 2016, Mr. Yumin Lin transferred his ownership in FTVL to QHDX for nominal consideration. The share transfers detailed above by and among Mr. Yumin Lin, DIGLS, DILHK, QHDX, and FVTL have been accounted for as a series of business combination of entities under common control; accordingly, the values in these financial statements reflect the carrying values of those entities, and no goodwill was recorded as a result of these transactions.

Use of estimates

 

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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. The estimates and judgments will also affect the reported amounts for certain revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may materially differ from these estimates.

 

Foreign currency translation and re-measurement

 

The Company translates its foreign operations to the U.S. dollar in accordance with ASC 830, “ Foreign Currency Matters ”.

 

The reporting currency for the Company and its subsidiaries is the US dollar. The Company, DIGLS, and DILH’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar; QHDX and FVTL use the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”) as their functional currency.

 

The Company’s subsidiaries, whose records are not maintained in that company’s functional currency, re-measure their records into their functional currency as follows:

 

  Monetary assets and liabilities at exchange rates in effect at the end of each period
  Nonmonetary assets and liabilities at historical rates
  Revenue and expense items at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the period

 

Gains and losses from these re-measurements were not significant and have been included in the Company’s results of operations.

 

The Company’s subsidiaries, whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, translate their records into the U.S. dollar as follows:

 

  Assets and liabilities at the rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date
  Equities at the historical rate
  Revenue and expense items at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the period

 

  F- 7  
     

 

Adjustments arising from such translations are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in shareholders’ equity.

 

    December 31,     December 31,  
    2018     2017  
Spot RMB: USD exchange rate   $ 0.1454     $ 0.1480  
Average RMB: USD exchange rate   $ 0.1514     $ 0.1524  

 

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 Dollars at the rates used in translation.

 

Cash and cash equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits in banks, and any investments with maturities with less three months from inception to maturity. The Company’s primary bank deposits are located in the Hong Kong and the PRC; those deposits are not provided protection under FDIC insurance; however, management has determined that the risk of loss from insolvency by those financial institution at which it has deposited it funds is insignificant.

 

Accounts receivable

 

Accounts receivable are carried at the amounts invoiced to customers less allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance is an estimate based on a review of individual customer accounts on a regular basis. Accounts receivable are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of accounts receivable previously written off are recorded when received.

 

The Company reviews the collectability of accounts receivable based on an assessment of historical experience, current economic conditions, and other collection indicators.

 

During the years ended December 31, 2018, the Company had not experienced any delinquent or uncollectible balances; accordingly, the Company did not record any valuation allowance for bad debt during this period.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories consisting of finished goods are stated at the lower of cost or market value. The Company used the weighted average cost method of accounting for inventory. Inventories on hand are evaluated on an on-going basis to determine if any items are obsolete, spoiled, or in excess of future demand. The Company provides impairment that is charged directly to cost of sales when is has been determined the product is obsolete, spoiled, and the Company will not be able to sell it at a normal profit above its carrying cost. The Company’s primary products are alcoholic beverages; the selling price of alcoholic beverages tend to increase over time; however, there are circumstances where alcoholic beverages may be subject to spoilage if stored for prolong periods of time. The Company did not experience any impairment on inventory during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.

 

Advances and prepayments to suppliers

 

In certain instances, in order to secure the supply of limited and sought-after wines and liquors, the Company will make advance payments to suppliers for the procurement of inventory. Upon physical receipt and inspection of such products from those suppliers, the applicable balances are reclassified from advances and prepayments to suppliers to inventory.

 

  F- 8  
     

 

Property, plant and equipment

 

Equipment is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives of the equipment are as follows:

 

Office equipment 7-20 years

 

The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to expenses as incurred, whereas significant renewals and betterments are capitalized.

 

Accounting for long-lived assets

 

The Company annually reviews its long-lived assets for impairment or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. Impairment may be the result of becoming obsolete from a change in the industry or new technologies. Impairment is present if the carrying amount of an asset is less than its undiscounted cash flows to be generated.

 

If an asset is considered impaired, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

 

Customer advances and deposits

 

On certain occasions, the Company may receive prepayments from downstream retailers or retails customer for wines and liquor prior to their taking possession of the Company’s products; the Company records these receipts as customer advances and deposits until it has met all the criteria for recognition of revenue including the passing possession of the products to its customer, at such point Company will reduce the customer and deposits balance and credit the Company’s revenues.

 

Revenue recognition

 

Revenues are recognized when the Company has negotiated the terms of the transaction, which includes determining and fixing the sales price, the transfer of possession of the product to the customer, the customer does not have the right to return the product, the customer is able to further sell or transfer the product onto others for economic benefit without any other obligation to be fulfilled by the Company, and the Company is reasonably assured that funds have been or will be collected from the customer. The Company’s gross revenue consists the value of goods invoiced, net of any value-added tax (VAT) or excise tax.

 

Advertising

 

All advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, were $0 and 0, respectively.

 

Shipping and handling

 

Outbound shipping and handling are expensed as incurred.

 

Retirement benefits

 

Retirement benefits in the form of mandatory government sponsored defined contribution plans are charged to the either expenses as incurred or allocated to inventory as a part of overhead.

 

Income taxes

 

The Company accounts for income tax using an asset and liability approach and allows for recognition of deferred tax benefits in future years. Under the asset and liability approach, deferred taxes are provided for the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize their benefits, or that future realization is uncertain.

 

  F- 9  
     

 

Statutory reserves

 

Statutory reserves are referring to the amount appropriated from the net income in accordance with laws or regulations, which can be used to recover losses and increase capital, as approved, and are to be used to expand production or operations. PRC laws prescribe that an enterprise operating at a profit must appropriate and reserve, on an annual basis, an amount equal to 10% of its profit. Such an appropriation is necessary until the reserve reaches a maximum that is equal to 50% of the enterprise’s PRC registered capital.

 

Earnings per share

 

The Company computes earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per share”. Basic EPS is measured as the income or loss available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is similar to basic EPS but presents the dilutive effect on a per share basis of potential common shares (e.g., convertible securities, options, and warrants) as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later. Potential common shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e. those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS.

 

Financial instruments

 

The Company’s accounts for financial instruments in accordance to ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” which requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company and ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments,” which defines fair value, and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for receivables and current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of their fair values because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:

 

Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

 

Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

 

Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

 

Commitments and contingencies

 

Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment can be reasonably estimated.

 

Comprehensive income

 

Comprehensive income is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Among other disclosures, all items that are required to be recognized under current accounting standards as components of comprehensive income are required to be reported in a financial statement that is presented with the same prominence as other financial statements. The Company’s current component of other comprehensive income includes the foreign currency translation adjustment and unrealized gain or loss.

 

Goodwill

 

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable assets acquired in a business combination. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 350, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, goodwill is no longer subject to amortization. Rather, goodwill is subject to at least an annual assessment for impairment, applying a fair-value based test. Fair value is generally determined using a discounted cash flow analysis.

 

  F- 10  
     

 

Recent accounting pronouncements

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued guidance, which amended the existing accounting standards for business combinations. The amendments clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The Company is required to adopt the guidance in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019. Earlier adoption is permitted. The Company has early adopted this guidance in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2018. The implementation of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements. 

 

In February 2018, the FASB issued guidance, which eliminates the stranded tax effects in other comprehensive income resulting from the TCJA. Because the amendments only relate to the reclassification of the income tax effects of the TCJA, the underlying guidance that requires that the effect of a change in tax laws or rates be included in income from continuing operations is not affected. The Company is required to adopt the guidance in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020. Earlier adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the timing and the impact of this guidance on the Consolidated Financial Statements. In August 2017, the FASB issued guidance, which amends the existing accounting standards for derivatives and hedging. The amendment improves the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better represent the economic results of an entity’s risk management activities in its financial statements and made certain targeted improvements to simplify the application of the hedge accounting guidance in current U.S. GAAP. The Company is required to adopt the guidance in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020. Earlier adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the timing and impact of this guidance on the Consolidated Financial Statements. 

 

In November 2016, the FASB issued guidance, which addresses the presentation of restricted cash in the statement of cash flows. The guidance requires entities to present the changes in the total of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. As a result, entities will no longer present transfers between cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. The Company is required to adopt the guidance retrospectively in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019. Earlier adoption is permitted. The Company will adopt this guidance in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019. The Company expects that the implementation of this guidance will not have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

  F- 11  
     

 

On March 17, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net)”, which amends the principal-versus-agent implementation guidance and illustrations in the Board’s new revenue standard (ASU 2014-09). The FASB issued the ASU in response to concerns identified by stakeholders, including those related to (1) determining the appropriate unit of account under the revenue standard’s principal-versus-agent guidance and (2) applying the indicators of whether an entity is a principal or an agent in accordance with the revenue standard’s control principle. Among other things, the ASU clarifies that an entity should evaluate whether it is the principal or the agent for each specified good or service promised in a contract with a customer. As defined in the ASU, a specified good or service is “a distinct good or service (or a distinct bundle of goods or services) to be provided to the customer.” Therefore, for contracts involving more than one specified good or service, the entity may be the principal for one or more specified goods or services and the agent for others. The ASU has the same effective date as the new revenue standard (as amended by the one-year deferral and the early adoption provisions in ASU 2015-14). In addition, entities are required to adopt the ASU by using the same transition method they used to adopt the new revenue standard. The Company has determined that it acts as a principal in its primary business operations.

 

On March 30, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09 “Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting”, which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions for both public and nonpublic entities, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. The ASU is for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods. Management has determined that the new standard did not have a material impact on these financial statements.

 

Unless otherwise stated, the Company is currently assessing the above the accounting pronouncements and their potential impact from their adoption on the financial statements.

 

NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going-concern basis. The going-concern basis assumes that assets are realized, and liabilities are settled in the ordinary course of business at amounts disclosed in the financial statements. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern depends upon its ability to market and sell its products to generate positive operating cash flows. For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company reported net losses of $262,424 and $187,496, respectively. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had working capital deficit of approximately $397,037. In addition, the Company had net cash outflows of $230,379 from operating activities during the years ended December 31, 2018. These conditions still raise a substantial doubt as to whether the Company may continue as a going concern.

 

In an effort to improve its financial position, the Company is working to obtain new working capital through a reverse merger with a publicly listed entity and shortly thereafter the sales of equity or debt securities by the listed entity to investors for cash to fund operations and further expansion. The Company also relies on relates parties to provided financing and management services at cost that may not be the prevailing market rate for such services. 

 

If the Company is not able to generate positive operating cash flows, raise additional capital, and retain the services of certain related parties, it may become insolvent.

NOTE 4 - ACCOUNTS AND OTHER RECEIVABLES

 

Accounts and other receivables consisted of the following as of December 31, 2018 and 2017:

 

    2018     2017  
Gross accounts and other receivables   $ 7,678     $ 15,317  
Less: Allowance for doubtful accounts     -       -  
    $ 7,678     $ 15,317  

 

All accounts and other receivables have been outstanding for less than 365 days. Included in the balance for 2017 was an amount of $6,799 owed by a third-party vendor for shipment of wine that was never delivered; the amount was refunded to the Company on January 11, 2018. The Company’s general manager received funds totaling $6,995 on behalf of the Company for products sold to costumers; this balance has been recorded as other receivables and occurred in the normal course of business.

 

NOTE 5 – INVENTORIES

 

Inventories consisted of the following as of December 31, 2018 and 2017:

 

    2018     2017  
Finished goods   $ 236,175     $ 273,491  

 

NOTE 6 - EQUIPMENT

Less: Accumulated depreciation                
Equipment     52,576       49,688  
    $ 9,809     $ 13,824  

 

  F- 13  
     

 

The Company did not purchase any equipment during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017. Changes in the cost of equipment are related to differences in foreign currency rates at different reporting periods. Depreciation expenses translated at the average exchange rates for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 were $3,926 and $6,776 respectively.

 

NOTE 7 - INCOME TAXES
