or lease of commercial properties in the same Asian region.

There
is a growing market in Asia of companies who are seeking to go public and become listed on a recognized exchange in a foreign jurisdiction.
We see tremendous opportunity to the extent that this trend continues worldwide. With respect to cross border listing advisory services,
we are assisting private companies in their desire to list and trade on public exchanges, including the U.S. NASDAQ and OTC Markets.
The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, or JOBS Act, signed in 2012, eases the initial public offering (“IPO”) process for
“emerging growth companies” and reduces their regulatory burden, (2) improves the ability of these companies to access capital
through private offerings and small public offerings without SEC registration, and (3) allows private companies with a substantial shareholder
base to delay becoming a public reporting company.
Through
our cross-border listing advisory services, we seek to form the bridge between these companies seeking to conduct their IPO (or in some
cases, self-directed public offerings), and their goal of becoming a listed company on a recognized U.S. national exchange, such as NASDAQ
and the NYSE.
While
there are several alternatives for companies seeking to go public and trade on the U.S. OTC markets, we primarily focus on three methods:
●
Registration
Statement on Form S-1
●
Regulation
A+ offering
●
The
Form 10 shell company
The
manner in which the OTC markets are structured provides companies the ability to “uplist” in the marketplace as they provide
better transparency. These OTC markets include:
●
OTCQX
Best Marketplace: offers transparent and efficient trading of established, investor-focused U.S. and global companies.
●
OTCQB
Venture Marketplace: for early-stage and developing U.S. and international companies that are not yet able to qualify for OTCQX.
●
OTC
Pink Open Marketplace: offers trading in a wide spectrum of securities through any broker. With no minimum financial standards, this
market includes foreign companies that limit their disclosure, penny stocks and shells, as well as distressed, delinquent, and dark
companies not willing or able to provide adequate information to investors.
17
We
act as a case reference for our clients, as we originally had our shares quoted in the OTC markets and subsequently “uplisted”
to The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC., a U.S. national securities exchange.
With
growing competition and increasing economic sophistication, we believe more companies need strategies for cross-border restructuring
and other corporate matters. Our plan is to bundle our Cross-Border Business Solution services with our cloud accounting solutions and
Accounting Outsourcing Services described below.
Accounting
Outsourcing Services
We
intend to develop relationships with professional firms from Hong Kong, Malaysia, China and Thailand that can provide company secretarial,
business centers and virtual offices, book-keeping, tax compliance and planning, payroll management, business valuation, and wealth management
services to our clients. We intend to include local accounting firms within this network to provide general accounting, financial evaluation
and advisory services to our clients. Our expectation is that firms within our professional network will refer their international clients
to us that may need our book-keeping, payroll, company secretarial and tax compliance services. We believe that this accounting outsourcing
service arrangement will be beneficial to our clients by providing a convenient, one-stop firm for their local and international business
and financial compliance and governance needs.
Our
Service Rates
We
intend to have a two-tiered rate system based upon the type of services being offered. We may impose project-based fees, where we charge
10% - 25% of the revenues generated by the client on projects that are completed using our services, such as transaction projects, contract
compliance projects, and business planning projects. We may also charge a flat rate fee or fixed fee based on the estimated complexity
and timing of a project when our professionals provide specified expertise to our clients on a project. For example, for our Cross-Border
Business Solutions services, we plan to charge our client a monthly fixed fee.
Our
Venture Capital Business Segment
Venture
Capital Investment
As
a result of our acquisition of Greenpro Venture Capital Limited (“GVCL”) in 2015, we entered the venture capital business
in Hong Kong with a focus on companies located in South-East Asia and East Asia, including Hong Kong, Malaysia, China, Thailand and Singapore.
Our venture capital business is focused on (1) establishing a business incubator for start-up and high growth companies to support such
companies during critical growth periods and (2) investment opportunities in select start-ups and high growth companies.
We
believe that a company’s life cycle can be divided into five stages, including the seed stage, start-up stage, expansion stage,
mature stage and decline stage. We anticipate that most of a company’s funding needs will occur during these first three stages.
●
Seed
stage: Financing is needed for assets, and research and development of an initial business concept. The company usually has relatively
low costs in developing the business idea. The ownership model is considered and implemented.
●
Start-up
stage: Financing is needed for product development and initial marketing. Firms in this phase may be in the process of setting up
a business or they might have been in operating the business for a short period of time but may not have sold their products commercially.
In this phase, costs are increasing due to product development, market research and the need to recruit personnel. Low levels of
revenues are starting to generate.
●
Expansion
stage: Financing is needed for growth and expansion. Capital may be used to finance increased production capacity, product or marketing
development or to hire additional personnel. In the early expansion phase, sales and production increases but there is not yet any
profit. In the later expansion stage, the business typically needs extra capital in addition to organically generated profit, for
further development, marketing or product development.
18
We
intend for our business incubators to provide valuable support to young, emerging growth and potential high growth companies at critical
junctures of their development. For example, our incubators will offer office space at a below market rental rate. We will also provide
our expertise, business contacts, introductions and other resources to assist their development and growth. Depending on each individual
circumstance, we may also take an active advisory role in our venture capital companies including board representation, strategic marketing,
corporate governance, and capital structuring. We believe that there will be potential investment opportunities for us in these start-up
companies.
Our
business processes for our investment strategy in select start-up and high growth companies are as follows:
●
Step
1. Generating Deal Flow: We expect to actively search for entrepreneurial firms and to generate deal flow through our business incubator
and the personal contacts of our executive team. We also anticipate that entrepreneurs will approach us for financing.
●
Step
2. Investment Decision: We will evaluate, examine and engage in due diligence of a prospective portfolio company, including but not
limited to product/services viability, market potential and integrity as well as capability of the management. After that, both parties
arrive at an agreed value for the deal. Following that is a process of negotiation, which if successful, ends with capital transformation
and restructuring.
●
Step
3. Business Development and Value Adding: In addition to capital contribution, we expect to provide expertise, knowledge and relevant
business contacts to the company.
●
Step
4. Exit: There are several ways to exit an investment in a company. Common exits are:
○
IPO
(Initial Public Offering): The company’s shares are offered in a public sale on an established securities market.
○
Trade
sale (Acquisition): The entire company is sold to another company.
○
Secondary
sale: The company’s firm sells only part of its shares.
○
Buyback
or MBO: Either the entrepreneur or the management of the company buys back the company’s shares of the firm.
○
Reconstruction,
liquidation or bankruptcy: If the project fails, the company will restructure or close down its operations.
Our
objective is to achieve a superior rate of return through the eventual and timely disposal of investments. We expect to look for businesses
that meet the following criteria:
●
high
growth prospects
●
ambitious
teams
●
viability
of product or service
●
experienced
management
●
ability
to convert plans into reality
●
justification
of venture capital investment and investment criteria
19
Our
Venture Capital Related Education and Support Services.
In
addition to providing venture capital services through GVCL, we also provide educational and support services that we believe will be
synergistic with our venture capital business. We have arranged seminars called the CEO & Business Owners Strategic Session (“CBOSS”)
in Malaysia and Singapore for business owners who are interested in the following:
●
Developing
their business globally;
●
Expanding
business with increased capital funding;
●
Creating
a sustainable SME business model;
●
Accelerating
the growth of the business; or
●
Significantly
increasing company cash flows.
The
objective of the CBOSS seminar is to educate the chief executive officers or business owners on how to acquire “smart capital”
and the considerations involved. The seminar includes an introduction to the basic concepts of “smart capital,” “wealth
and value creation,” recommendation and planning and similar topics. We believe that this seminar will synergistically support
our venture capital business segment.
Sales
and Marketing
We
plan to deploy three strategies to market the Greenpro brand: leadership, market segmentation and sales management process development.
●
Building
Brand Image: Greenpro’s marketing efforts will focus on building the image of our extensive expertise and knowledge of
our professionals. We intend to conduct a marketing campaign through media visibility, seminars, webinars, and the creation of a
wide variety of white papers, newsletters, books, and other information.
●
Market
segmentation: We plan to devote marketing resources to highly measurable and high return on investment tactics that specifically
target those industries and areas where Greenpro has particularly deep experience and capabilities. These efforts typically involve
local, regional or national trade show and event sponsorships, targeted direct mail, email, and telemarketing campaigns, and practice
and industry specific micro-sites and newsletters in the Asian region.
●
Social
Media: We plan to begin a social media campaign utilizing blogs, Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn after we secure sufficient financing.
A targeted campaign will be made to the following groups of clients: law firms, auditing firms, consulting firms and small to medium-sized
enterprises (“SMEs”) in different industries, including biotechnology, intellectual property, information technologies and
real estate.
20
Worldwide
Wealth Wisdom Development
Worldwide
Wealth Wisdom Development (“WWW”) is our marketing and promotional campaign, which is focused on building long-term awareness
of our brand. WWW targets the following markets (i) business owners and senior management; (ii) high and medium net worth individuals
in China and (iii) financial services providers, such as Certified Financial Planners in China. The campaign involves sharing content,
knowledge and information about wealth management, including wealth creation, wealth protection and wealth succession.
The
objectives of WWW are:
1.
To
increase public awareness and recognition of Greenpro as a well-known advocate of the wealth principles described above;
2.
For
our philosophy to gain recognition so that our clients are confident and comfortable with our services and trust us;
3.
To
educate existing clients and potential prospects; and
4.
To
act as a channel of communication to gather market data and feedback.
Set
forth below are the marketing strategies we expect to develop.
Awareness
and Optimization
1.
Email
Blasts and E-Newsletter
Email
blasts are one of the commonly used tactics to disseminate information. Our email database will be collected through leads generated
by online marketing (social media) and promotional events. Future event invitations and monthly/quarterly newsletters will be sent to
the email database to boost event participation and provide updates on Company development.
2.
Media
PR and News Releases
Our
post event information will be sent to news and media platforms as part of our publicity effort to increase public awareness about our
events and developments, and to encourage more participants to join our upcoming events. We will also share our analysis on various industries
and industry trends to the media network providers for free. We believe that this strategy will strengthen the relationship between Greenpro
and the media network providers.
3.
Social
Media
To
generate more leads and subscribers, two to four articles related to wealth management will be shared in our official WeChat account.
These articles are tools we use to share content online, through social media platforms such as WeChat, Jinri Toutiao and Facebook, which
increases our online presence.
4.
Online
Search Engine Optimization
Online
Search Engine Optimization (“SEO”) will be used as a supporting strategy to enhance our online presence campaign.
We will seek a SEO expert team in China and Malaysia to assist in the promotion of the campaign by using an advertising and keyword tagging
strategy to drive traffic to our social media accounts and our company website. The major search engines are Baidu and Google as these
are the common search engine worldwide.
Interaction
and Conversion
1.
Seminars
and Conferences
Seminars
and conferences will be held once a month to deliver and educate the attendees on wealth management. We target between 80 and 100 attendees
each time. We intend to invite professionals and strategic partners to share their ideas, resources and knowhow in the seminars and conferences.
The seminars and conferences will focus on our three core wealth management principles, namely “Wealth Creation, Wealth Protection
and Wealth Succession”.
21
2.
Private
Events by Invitation
Private
and exclusive events are planned to be held quarterly with a target between 30 and 40 attendees. These events are exclusive and by-invitation
only, at which we will share insights into our services and explain to attendees how they can proceed with wealth management planning.
3.
Small
Group Meet Ups and Networking
Small
Group Meet Ups will be held twice a month targeting the public with an estimated five to ten attendees per session. The objective of
these sessions is to encourage idea exchanges, to provide a platform for networking and potentially future collaboration opportunities,
and foster better understanding between the participants and us, as well as among themselves.
Market
Opportunities
We
believe the main drivers for the growth of our business are the products and services together with the resources such as an office network,
professional staff members and operational tools to make the advisory and consulting business more competitive.
We
intend to assist our clients in the preparation of their financial statements cost-effectively and provide security to such financial
information since the data will be stored in a cloud system. We anticipate a market with growing needs in Asia. We believe that there
is currently an increasing need for enterprises in different industries to maximize their performance with cost-effective methods. We
believe our services will create numerous competitive advantages for our clients. We believe that with us handling the administrative
and logistic support, our clients can focus on developing their businesses and expanding their own client portfolio.
Customers
Our
revenues are generated from clients located globally, including those from Hong Kong, China, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand,
Australia, Japan, Taiwan, Russia and the United States. Our venture capital business will initially focus on Hong Kong and other Asian
start-ups and high growth companies. We hope to generate deal flow through personal contacts of our management team as well as through
our business incubator.
We
generated revenues of $2,949,780 during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 and $2,254,811 during the fiscal year ended December
31, 2020. We are not a party to any long-term agreements with our customers.
Competition
We
operate in a mature, competitive industry. We consider our focus to be on a niche market of small and medium-sized businesses. Competition
in the general field of business advisory services is quite intense, particularly in Hong Kong. We face competition principally from
established law firms and consulting service providers in the corporate finance industry, such as Marbury, King & Wood Mallesons,
QMIS Financial Group, First Asia Finance Group Limited and their respective affiliates, as well as from certain accounting firms, including
those that specialize in a tax planning and corporate restructuring. The competition in China and Malaysia is not as fierce as in Hong
Kong. Our major competitors in China are JP Investment Group and QMIS Financial Group while our major competitors in Malaysia are Global
Bridge Management Sdn. Bhd. and QMIS Financial Group. These competitors generate significant traffic and have established brand recognition
and financial resources. New or existing competition that uses a business model that is different from our business model may pressure
us to change so that we can remain competitive.
22
We
believe that the principal competitive factors in our market include quality of analysis; applicability and efficacy of recommendations;
strength and depth of relationships with clients; ability to meet the changing needs of current and prospective clients; and service
scope. By utilizing our competitive strengths, we believe that we have a competitive edge over other competitors due to the breadth of
our service offerings, one stop convenience, pricing, marketing expertise, coverage network, service levels, track record, brand and
reputation. We are confident we can retain and enlarge our market share.
Intellectual
Property
We
intend to protect our investment in the research and development of our products and technologies. We intend to seek the widest possible
protection for significant product and process developments in our major markets through a combination of trade secrets, trademarks,
copyrights and patents, if applicable. We anticipate that the form of protection will vary depending upon the level of protection afforded
by a particular jurisdiction. Currently, our revenue is derived principally from our operations in Hong Kong, China and Malaysia, where
intellectual property protection may be limited and difficult to enforce. In such instances, we may seek protection of our intellectual
property through measures taken to increase the confidentiality of intellectual property.
We
have registered trademarks as a means of protecting the brand names of our companies and products. We intend to protect our trademarks
against infringement, and also seek to register design protection where appropriate. Currently, there are six trademarks registered under
the name of Greenpro Resources (HK) Limited.

all employees to execute confidentiality agreements upon the commencement of employment with us. These agreements provide that all confidential
information developed or made known to the individual through individual’s relationship with us, to be kept confidential and do
not disclose to third parties except in specific circumstances. The agreements also provide that all inventions conceived by the individual
while rendering services to us shall be assigned to us as the exclusive property of our company. There can be no assurance, however,
that all persons who we desire to sign such agreements will sign, or if they do, that these agreements will not be breached, that we
would have adequate remedies for any breach, or that our trade secrets or unpatentable know-how will not otherwise become known or be
independently developed by competitors.
Government
Regulation
We
provide our Package Solution initially in Hong Kong, China and Malaysia, which we believe are locations that would need outsourcing support
services. Further, we believe these markets are the central and regional markets for many customers doing cross border business in Asia.
We target those customers from Asia doing international business and plan to provide our Package Solution to meet their needs. Our planned
Package Solution will be structured in Hong Kong, but services may be outsourced to lower cost jurisdictions such as Malaysia and China,
which encourage and welcome outsourcing services.
23
The
following regulations are the laws and regulations that may be applicable to us:

Our
businesses located in Hong Kong are subject to the general laws in Hong Kong governing businesses, including labor, occupational safety
and health, general corporations, intellectual property and other similar laws. Because our website is maintained through the server
in Hong Kong, we expect that we will be required to comply with the rules and regulations and Hong Kong governing the data usage and
regular terms of service applicable to our potential customers. As the information of our potential customers is preserved in Hong Kong,
we will need to comply with the Hong Kong Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (Cap 486).
The
Employment Ordinance is the main piece of legislation governing conditions of employment in Hong Kong. It covers a comprehensive range
of employment protection and benefits for employees, including Wage Protection, Rest Days, Holidays with Pay, Paid Annual Leave, Sickness
Allowance, Maternity Protection, Statutory Paternity Leave, Severance Payment, Long Service Payment, Employment Protection, Termination
of Employment Contract and Protection against Anti-Union Discrimination.
An
employer must also comply with all legal obligations under the Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Ordinance, (Cap 485). These include enrolling
all qualifying employees in Mandatory Provident Fund (“MPF”) schemes and making MPF contributions for them. Except for exempt
persons, employers should enroll both full-time and part-time employees who are at least 18 but under 65 years of age in an MPF scheme
within the first 60 days of employment. The 60-day employment rule does not apply to casual employees in the construction and catering
industries.
We
are required to make MPF contributions for our Hong Kong employees once every contribution period (generally the wage period). Employers
and employees are each required to make regular mandatory contributions of 5% of the employee’s relevant income to an MPF scheme,
subject to the minimum and maximum relevant income levels. For a monthly-paid employee, the minimum and maximum relevant income levels
are $7,100 and $30,000 respectively.
We
comply with the above applicable ordinances and regulations in Hong Kong and have not been involved any lawsuit or prosecuted by the
local authority resulting from any breach of the ordinances and regulations.
Malaysia
Our
businesses located in Malaysia are subject to the general laws in Malaysia governing businesses including labor, occupational safety
and health, general corporations, intellectual property and other similar laws including the Computer Crime Act 1997 and The Copyright
(Amendment) Act 1997. We believe that the focus of these laws is censorship in Malaysia, however we believe this does not impact our
businesses because the censorship focus is on media controls and does not relate to cloud base technology which we plan to use.
Our
real estate investments are subject to extensive local, city, county and state rules and regulations regarding permitting, zoning, subdivision,
utilities and water quality as well as federal rules and regulations regarding air and water quality and protection of endangered species
and their habitats. Such regulation may result in higher than anticipated administrative and operational costs.
We
comply with the above applicable ordinances and regulations in Malaysia and have not involved any lawsuit or prosecuted by the local
authority resulting from any breach of the ordinances and regulations.
China
A
portion of our acquired businesses located in China and subject to the general laws in China governing businesses including labor, occupational
safety and health, general corporations, intellectual property and other similar laws.

Employment
Contracts
The
Employment Contract Law was promulgated by the National People’s Congress’ Standing Committee on June 29, 2007 and took effect
on January 1, 2008. The Employment Contract Law governs labor relations and employment contracts (including the entry into, performance,
amendment, termination and determination of employment contracts) between domestic enterprises (including foreign-invested companies),
individual economic organizations and private non-enterprise units (collectively referred to as the “employers”) and their
employees.
a.
Execution of employment contracts
Under
the Employment Contract Law, an employer is required to execute written employment contracts with its employees within one month from
the commencement of employment. In the event of contravention, an employee is entitled to receive double salary for the period during
which the employer fails to execute an employment contract. If an employer fails to execute an employment contract for more than 12 months
from the commencement of the employee’s employment, an employment contract would be deemed to have been entered into between the
employer and employee for a non-fixed term.
b.
Right to non-fixed term contracts
Under
the Employment Contract Law, an employee may request a non-fixed term contract without an employer’s consent to renew. In addition,
an employee is also entitled to a non-fixed term contract with an employer if he has completed two fixed term employment contracts with
such employer; however, such employee must not have committed any breach or have been subject to any disciplinary actions during his
employment. Unless the employee requests to enter into a fixed term contract, an employer who fails to enter into a non-fixed term contract
pursuant to the Employment Contract Law is liable to pay the employee double salary from the date the employment contract is renewed.
c.
Compensation for termination or expiry of employment contracts
Under
the Employment Contract Law, employees are entitled to compensation upon the termination or expiry of an employment contract. Employees
are entitled to compensation even in the event the employer (i) has been declared bankrupt; (ii) has its business license revoked; (iii)
has been ordered to cease or withdraw its business; or (iv) has been voluntarily liquidated. Where an employee has been employed for
more than one year, the employee will be entitled to such compensation equivalent to one month’s salary for every completed year
of service. Where an employee has been employed for less than one year, such employee will be deemed to have completed one full year
of service.
d.
Trade union and collective employment contracts
Under
the Employment Contract Law, a trade union may seek arbitration and litigation to resolve any dispute arising from a collective employment
contract provided that such dispute failed to be settled through negotiations. The Employment Contract Law also permits a trade union
to enter into a collective employee contract with an employer on behalf of all the employees.
Where
a trade union has not been formed, a representative appointed under the recommendation of a high-level trade union may execute the collective
employment contract. Within districts below county level, collective employment contracts for industries such as those engaged in construction,
mining, food and beverage and those from the service sector, etc., may be executed on behalf of employees by the representatives from
the trade union of each respective industry. Alternatively, a district-based collective employment contract may be made.
As
a result of the Employment Contract Law, all our employees have executed standard written employment agreements with us. We have not
experienced any significant labor disputes or any difficulties in recruiting staff for our operations.
25
On
October 28, 2010, the National People’s Congress of China promulgated the PRC Social Insurance Law, which became effective on July
1, 2011. In accordance with the PRC Social Insurance Law, the Interim Regulations on the Collection and Payment of Social Security Fund
and other relevant laws and regulations, China establishes a social insurance system including basic pension insurance, basic medical
insurance, work-related injury insurance, unemployment insurance and maternity insurance. An employer shall pay the social insurance
for its employees in accordance with the rates provided under relevant regulations and shall withhold the social insurance that should
be assumed by the employees. The authorities in charge of social insurance may request an employer’s compliance and impose sanctions
if such employer fails to pay and withhold social insurance in a timely manner. Under the Regulations on the Administration of Housing
Fund effective in 1999, as amended in 2002, PRC companies must register with applicable housing fund management centers and establish
a special housing fund account in an entrusted bank. Both PRC companies and their employees are required to contribute to the housing
funds.
The
Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security promulgated the Interim Provisions on Labor Dispatch on January 24, 2014. The Interim
Provisions on Labor Dispatch, which became effective on March 1, 2014, sets forth that labor dispatch should only be applicable to temporary,
auxiliary or substitute positions. Temporary positions shall mean positions subsisting for no more than six months, auxiliary positions
shall mean positions of non-major business that serve positions of major businesses, and substitute positions shall mean positions that
can be held by substitute employees for a certain period of time during which the employees who originally hold such positions are unable
to work as a result of full-time study, being on leave or other reasons. The Interim Provisions further provides that, the number of
the dispatched workers of an employer shall not exceed 10% of its total workforce, and the total workforce of an employer shall refer
to the sum of the number of the workers who have executed labor contracts with the employer and the number of workers who are dispatched
to the employer.
Foreign
Exchange Control and Administration
Foreign
exchange in China is primarily regulated by:
●
The
Foreign Currency Administration Rules (1996), as amended; and
●
The
Administration Rules of the Settlement, Sale and Payment of Foreign Exchange (1996), or the Administration Rules.
Under
the Foreign Currency Administration Rules, if documents certifying the purposes of the conversion of RMB into foreign currency are submitted
to the relevant foreign exchange conversion bank, the RMB will be convertible for current account items, including the distribution of
dividends, interest and royalty payments, and trade and service-related foreign exchange transactions. Conversion of RMB for capital
account items, such as direct investment, loans, securities investment and repatriation of investment, however, is subject to the approval
of SAFE or its local counterpart.
Under
the Administration Rules for the Settlement, Sale and Payment of Foreign Exchange, foreign-invested enterprises may only buy, sell and/or
remit foreign currencies at banks authorized to conduct foreign exchange business after providing valid commercial documents and, in
the case of capital account item transactions, obtaining approval from SAFE or its local counterpart.
As
an offshore holding company with a PRC subsidiary, we may (i) make additional capital contributions to our PRC subsidiaries, (ii) establish
new PRC subsidiaries and make capital contributions to these new PRC subsidiaries, (iii) make loans to our PRC subsidiaries or consolidated
affiliated entities, or (iv) acquire offshore entities with business operations in China in offshore transactions. However, most of these
uses are subject to PRC regulations and approvals. For example:
●
Capital
contributions to our PRC subsidiaries, whether existing or newly established ones, must be approved by the Ministry of Commerce or
its local counterparts;
●
Loans
by us to our PRC subsidiaries, each of which is a foreign-invested enterprise, to finance their activities cannot exceed statutory
limits and must be registered with SAFE or its local branches; and
●
Loans
by us to our consolidated affiliated entities, which are domestic PRC entities, must be approved by the National Development and
Reform Commission and must also be registered with SAFE or its local branches.
26
On
August 29, 2008, SAFE promulgated the Circular on the Relevant Operating Issues concerning the Improvement of the Administration of Payment
and Settlement of Foreign Currency Capital of Foreign-invested Enterprises, or “Circular 142”. On March 30, 2015, SAFE issued
the Circular of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange Concerning Reform of the Administrative Approaches to Settlement of Foreign
Exchange Capital of Foreign-invested Enterprises, or “Circular 19”, which became effective on June 1, 2015, to regulate the
conversion by foreign invested enterprises, or FIEs, of foreign currency into RMB by restricting how the converted RMB may be used. Circular
19 requires that RMB converted from the foreign currency-dominated capital of a FIE shall be managed under the Accounts for FX settlement
and pending payment. The expenditure scope of such Accounts includes expenditure within the business scope, payment of funds for domestic
equity investment and RMB deposits, repayment of the RMB loans after completed utilization and so forth. A FIE shall truthfully use its
capital by itself within the business scope and shall not, directly or indirectly, use its capital or RMB converted from the foreign
currency-dominated capital for (i) expenditure beyond its business scope or expenditure prohibited by laws or regulations, (ii) disbursing
RMB entrusted loans (unless permitted under its business scope), repaying inter-corporate borrowings (including third-party advance)
and repaying RMB bank loans already refinanced to any third party. Where a FIE, other than a foreign-invested investment company, foreign-invested
venture capital enterprise or foreign-invested equity investment enterprise, makes domestic equity investment by transferring its capital
in the original currency, it shall obey the current provisions on domestic re-investment. Where such a FIE makes domestic equity investment
by its RMB conversion, the invested enterprise shall first go through domestic re-investment registration and open a corresponding Accounts
for FX settlement and pending payment, and the FIE shall thereafter transfer the conversion to the aforesaid Account according to the
actual amount of investment. In addition, according to the Regulations of the People’s Republic of China on Foreign Exchange Administration,
which became effective on August 5, 2008, the use of foreign exchange or RMB conversion may not be changed without authorization.
Violations
of the applicable circulars and rules may result in severe penalties, including substantial fines as set forth in the Foreign Exchange
Administration Regulations.
In
light of the various requirements imposed by PRC regulations on loans to and direct investment in PRC entities by offshore holding companies,
we cannot assure you that we will always be able to complete the necessary government registrations or obtain the necessary government
approvals on a timely basis, if at all, with respect to future loans to our PRC subsidiaries or future capital contributions by us to
our PRC subsidiaries. If we fail to complete such registrations or obtain such approvals, our ability to capitalize or otherwise fund
our PRC operations may be negatively affected, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and
expand our business.
Currently,
we are in compliance with the above applicable ordinances and regulations in China and have not involved any lawsuit or prosecuted by
the local authority resulting from any breach of the ordinances and regulations.
Insurance
We
do not current maintain property, business interruption and casualty insurance. As our business matures, we expect to obtain such insurance
in accordance with customary industry practices in Malaysia, Hong Kong and China, as applicable.
Seasonality
Our
businesses are not subject to seasonality.

28
●
ADAQ
