9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We
have established disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports
filed or submitted under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules
and forms of the SEC, and that information relating to the Company is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal
officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2022, and have concluded that our disclosure
controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2022.
Management’s
Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange
Act Rule 13a-15. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f) under the Exchange Act as a process
designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management and board of directors regarding the preparation and fair
presentation of published financial statements. Management conducted assessments of the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on the framework and criteria established by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the
Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) (COSO). Based on the assessment, management concluded that, as of
December 31, 2022, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting were effective.
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There
were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the year ended December 31, 2022, that have materially
affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Our
management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, intends that our disclosure controls and procedures and
internal control over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives. However, our management
does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors
and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that
the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints,
and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems,
no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.
These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because
of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two
or more people or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions
about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under
all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance
with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due
to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

9B. OTHER INFORMATION

9C. Disclosure Regarding Foreign Jurisdictions that Prevent Inspections.
We

10-K, a registered public accounting firm that has a branch or office that is located in a foreign jurisdiction and that the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board has determined it is unable to inspect or investigate completely because of a position taken by an authority
in the foreign jurisdiction.

Board
of Directors
All
directors hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders and until their successors have been duly elected and qualified.
Directors are elected at the annual meetings to serve for one-year terms. Officers are elected by, and serve at the discretion of, the
board of directors. Our board of directors shall hold meetings on at least a quarterly basis.
As
a Nasdaq listed company, we comply with the NASDAQ Listing Rules with respect to certain corporate governance matters. As a smaller reporting
company, under the NASDAQ rules we are required to maintain a board of directors comprised of majority of independent directors, and
an audit committee of at least three (3) members, comprised solely of independent directors who also meet the requirements of Rule 10A-3
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Director
Independence
The
board of directors has reviewed the independence of our directors, applying the NASDAQ independence standards. Based on this review,
the board of directors determined that each of Chuchottaworn Srirat, Louis Ramesh Ruben, Glendening Brent Lewis, and Bringuier Christophe
Philippe Roland are independent within the meaning of the NASDAQ rules. In making this determination, our board of directors considered
the relationships that each of these non-employee directors has with us and all other facts and circumstances our board of directors
deemed relevant in determining their independence. As required under applicable NASDAQ rules that our independent directors will meet
on a regular basis as often as necessary to fulfill their responsibilities, including at least annually in executive session without
the presence of non-independent directors and management.
59
Board
Committees
Our
board of directors has established standing committees in connection with the discharge of its responsibilities. These committees include
an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee. Our board of directors has adopted
written charters for each of these committees. Copies of the charters are available on our website. Our board of directors may establish
other committees as it deems necessary or appropriate from time to time.
Board
Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight
Mr.
Loke Che Chan Gilbert holds the positions of Chief Financial Officer and Chairman of the Board of the Company. The Board believes that
Mr. Loke’s services as both Chief Financial Officer and chairman of the Board is in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders.
Mr. Loke possesses detailed and in-depth knowledge of the issues, opportunities and challenges facing the Company in its business and
is thus best positioned to develop agendas that ensure that the Board’s time and attention are focused on the most critical matters
relating to the business of the Company. His combined role enables decisive leadership, ensures clear accountability, and enhances the
Company’s ability to communicate its message and strategy clearly and consistently to the Company’s shareholders, employees,
and customers.
The
Board has not designated a lead director. Given the limited number of directors comprising the Board, the independent directors call
and plan their executive sessions collaboratively and, between meetings of the Board, communicate with management and one another directly.
Under these circumstances, the directors believe designating a lead director to take on responsibility for functions in which they all
currently participate might detract from rather than enhance performance of their responsibilities as directors.
Management
is responsible for assessing and managing risk, subject to oversight by the board of directors. The board oversees our risk management
policies and risk appetite, including operational risks and risks relating to our business strategy and transactions. Various committees
of the board assist the board in this oversight responsibility in their respective areas of expertise.
●
The
Audit Committee assists the board with the oversight of our financial reporting, independent auditors, and internal controls. It
is charged with identifying any flaws in business management and recommending remedies, detecting fraud risks, and implementing anti-fraud
measures. The Audit Committee further discusses Greenpro’s policies with respect to risk assessment, risk management and financial
reporting.
●
The
Compensation Committee oversees compensation, retention, succession and other human resources-related issues and risks.
●
The
Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee overviews risks relating to our governance policies and initiatives.
Audit
Committee
Our
Audit Committee was established on March 23, 2016, and is currently comprised of all our independent directors: Mr. Louis Ramesh Ruben
(Chairman), Ms. Chuchottaworn Srirat, Mr. Glendening Brent Lewis and Mr. Bringuier Christophe Philippe Roland. Mr. Louis is Chair of
the Audit Committee, and he qualifies as the Audit Committee financial expert as defined in Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K promulgated
under the Securities Act.
According
to its charter, the Audit Committee consists of at least three members, each of whom shall be a non-employee director who has been determined
by the Board to meet the independence requirements of NASDAQ, and Rule 10A-3(b)(1) of the SEC, subject to the exemptions provided in
Rule 10A-3(c). The Company’s website contains a copy of the Audit Committee Charter. The Audit Committee Charter describes the

Director
Qualifications
The
board of directors is responsible for overseeing the Company’s business consistent with their fiduciary duty to the stockholders.
This significant responsibility requires highly skilled individuals with various qualities, attributes and professional experience. There
are general requirements for service on the board that are applicable to directors and there are other skills and experience that should
be represented on the board as a whole, but not necessarily by each director. The board considers the qualifications of director candidates
individually and in the broader context of the board’s overall composition and the Company’s current and future needs.
In
its assessment of each potential candidate, including those recommended by the stockholders, the board will consider the nominee’s
judgment, integrity, experience, independence, understanding of the Company’s business or other related industries and such other
factors it determines are pertinent in the light of the current needs of the board. The board also takes the ability of each potential
candidate into account, such as to evaluate the time and effort necessary to fulfill his or her responsibilities to the Company, business
experiences and specialized skills of each candidate. Diversity of background including diversity of race, ethnicity, international background,
gender and age, may be considered by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee when evaluating candidates for Board membership.
Code
of Business Conduct and Ethics
Our
board of directors has adopted a code of ethics that applies to all our directors, officers, and employees, including our principal executive
officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer. The code addresses, among other things, honesty and ethical conduct,
conflicts of interest, compliance with laws, regulations, and policies, including disclosure requirements under the federal securities
laws, confidentiality, trading on inside information, and reporting of violations of the code. The code of ethics is available on the
Company’s website “greenprocapital.com”.

stockholder known by us to own beneficially five (5) percent or more of our outstanding Common Stock or series of Common Stock (“Principal
Shareholders”);
(ii)
each
director;
(iii)
each
named executive officer; and
(iv)
all
our directors and executive officers as a group, and their percentage ownership and voting power (“Directors and Executive
Officers”).
The
information presented below regarding beneficial ownership of our voting securities has been presented in accordance with the rules of
the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not necessarily indicative of ownership for any other purpose. Under these rules, a person
is deemed to be a “beneficial owner” of a security if that person has or shares the power to vote or direct the voting of
the security or the power to dispose or direct the disposition of the security. A person is deemed to own beneficially any security as
to which such person has the right to acquire sole or shared voting or investment power within sixty (60) days through the conversion
or exercise of any convertible security, warrant, option, or other right. More than one (1) person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner
of the same securities.
The
percentage of beneficial ownership by any person as of a particular date is calculated by dividing the number of shares beneficially
owned by such person, which includes the number of shares as to which such person has the right to acquire voting or investment power
within sixty (60) days, by the sum of the number of shares outstanding as of such date. Consequently, the denominator used for calculating
such percentage may be different for each beneficial owner. Except as otherwise indicated below and under applicable community property
laws, we believe that the beneficial owners of our Common Stock listed below have sole voting and investment power with respect to the
shares shown.
The
calculations in the table below are based on 7,875,813 shares of our Common Stock, issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2023.

Based
on 7,875,813 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of March 31, 2023, together with securities exercisable or convertible into shares
of Common Stock within 60 days of March 31, 2023. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities
and Exchange Commission and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities. Shares of Common Stock that
a person has the right to acquire beneficial ownership of upon the exercise or conversion of options, convertible stock, warrants
or other securities that are currently exercisable or convertible or that will become exercisable or convertible within 60 days of
March 31, 2023, are deemed to be beneficially owned by the person holding such securities for the purpose of computing the number
of shares beneficially owned and percentage of ownership of such person, but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing
the percentage ownership of any other person.

Greenpro Capital Corp.
B-7-5, Northpoint
Mid Valley City
No. 1, Medan Syed Putra Utara
59200 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance
sheets of Greenpro Capital Corp. and subsidiaries (the ‘Company’) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years ended of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the related
notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America.
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.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been
prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, for the years
ended December 31, 2022, the Company incurred a net loss of $6,262,188 and negative cash flow from operating activities of $2,402,769.
These condition raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard
to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome
of this uncertainty.
F- 2
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters are matters arising from
the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to those charged with governance
and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging,
subjective, or complex judgements. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way of our opinion on the financial
statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical
audit matters or on the accounts or disclosure to which they relate.
Investments
and Impairment Valuation
The Company has significant investments as they represented
approximately 34.56% of total assets. As disclosed in Note 6 to the financial statements, the Company had equity securities investments
in companies without readily determinable market values. The Company adopted the guidance of ASC 321, Investments - Equity Securities,
which allows an entity to measure investments in equity securities without a readily determinable fair value using a measurement alternative
that measures these securities at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly
transactions for identical or similar investment of same issuer (the “Measurement Alternative”). The Company made qualitative
assessments to evaluate whether the investments are impaired and concluded that the investments are not impaired.
We identified the impairment valuation of investments
as a critical audit matter due to the significance of the balance to the financial statements as a whole. These investments require significant
judgements as they are private entities that are not trade on public exchange and require the Company to assess if there are any changes
in circumstances that indicate that the carrying amount of an investment may require impairment. There were significant judgments made
by management to identify indicators of impairment and determine the fair valuation in the absence of observable prices in an active market
which led to a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity and effort in evaluating management’s estimation of the fair value
of the investment including management’s assessment of the equity investment financial condition, operating performance, prospects
and other company-specific information.
Our audit procedure in this area included the following,
among others:
a) Inspected Board minutes and other appropriate documentation of authorization
to assess whether the transactions were appropriately authorized;
b) Inquired management to obtain an understanding of the Company’s process
in evaluating the indication of impairment and fair value assessments;
c) Evaluated the Company’s assessment of impairment by reviewing valuation
reports by independent valuers of significant investees;
d) Evaluated the knowledge, skills and ability of the Company’s specialist; and
e) Considered the adequacy of the disclosures in the financial statements in
relation to investments.

GREENPRO
CAPITAL CORP.
NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR
THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2022, AND 2021
(Expressed
in U.S. Dollars)
NOTE
1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Greenpro
Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on July 19, 2013, in the state of Nevada, and in 2015 changed its name to Greenpro
Capital Corp. The Company currently provides a wide range of business consulting and corporate advisory services including cross-border
listing advisory services, tax planning, advisory and transaction services, record management services, and accounting outsourcing services.
As part of our business consulting and corporate advisory business segment, our subsidiary, Greenpro Venture Capital Limited (“GVCL”)
provides a business incubator for start-up and high growth companies during their critical growth period and focuses on investments in
select start-up and high growth potential companies. In addition to our business consulting and corporate advisory business segment,
we operate another business segment that focuses on the acquisition and rental of real estate properties held for investment and the
and sale of real estate properties held for sale. Our focus is on companies located in South-East Asia and East Asia including Hong Kong,
the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”), Malaysia, Thailand, and Singapore.
Going
Concern
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets
and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements, for the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company incurred a net loss of $ 6,262,188 and net cash used in operating activities
of $ 2,402,769 . These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year
of the date that the financial statements are issued. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary
if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
The
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon improving its profitability and the continuing financial support
from its major shareholders. Management believes the existing shareholders or external financing will provide the additional cash to
meet the Company’s obligations as they become due. No assurance can be given that any future financing, if needed, will be available
or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. Even if the Company can obtain additional financing,
if needed, it may contain undue restrictions on its operations, in the case of debt financing, or cause substantial dilution for its
stockholders, in the case of equity financing.
Certain
effects of reverse stock split
On
July 19, 2022, the Company filed a Certificate of Change with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada (the “Certificate of
Change”) to effect a reverse split of the Company’s Common Stock at a ratio of 10-for-1 (the “Reverse Stock Split”),
effective as of July 28, 2022. On that date, every 10 issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock were automatically
converted into one outstanding share of Common Stock. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, the number of the outstanding shares of
Common Stock decreased from 78,671,688 (pre-split) shares to 7,875,813 (post-split) shares. In addition, by reducing the number of outstanding
shares, the Company’s loss per share in all prior periods increased by a factor of 10. The Reverse Stock Split affected all shares
of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Reverse Stock Split. In addition, the Reverse Stock Split
effected a reduction in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrants outstanding immediately prior
to the effectiveness of the Reverse Stock Split, resulting in a reduction from 53,556 (pre-split) shares to 5,356 (post-split) shares
(see Note 11).
No
fractional shares are issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders who otherwise would be entitled to receive fractional
shares because they hold a number of pre-reverse stock split shares of the Company’s Common Stock not evenly divisible by 10, in
lieu of a fractional share, are entitled the number of shares rounded up to the nearest whole share. The Company will issue one whole
share of the post-Reverse Stock Split Common Stock to any stockholder who otherwise would have received a fractional share as a result
of the Reverse Stock Split.
The
Reverse Stock Split affected all holders of Common Stock uniformly and did not affect any stockholder’s percentage of ownership
interest. The par value of the Company’s Common Stock remained unchanged at $ 0.0001 per share and the number of authorized shares
of Common Stock remained the same after the Reverse Stock Split.
As
the par value per share of the Company’s Common Stock remained unchanged at $ 0.0001 per share, the change in the Common Stock recorded
at par value has been reclassified to additional paid-in-capital on a retroactive basis. All references to shares of Common Stock and
per share data for all periods presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been adjusted to
reflect the Reverse Stock Split on a retroactive basis.
COVID-19
pandemic
Our
business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected by global health epidemics, including the
recent COVID-19 outbreak.
Outbreaks
of epidemic, pandemic, or contagious diseases such as COVID-19, could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and
results of operations. The spread of COVID-19 from China to other countries has resulted in the World Health Organization declaring the
outbreak of COVID-19 as a global pandemic. The international stock markets reflect the uncertainty associated with the slow-down in the
global economy and the reduced levels of international travel experienced since the beginning of January 2020, large declines in oil
prices and the significant decline in the Dow Industrial Average at the end of February and beginning of March 2020 was largely attributed
to the effects of COVID-19.
More
specifically our business was affected to a large extent by a shut-down of operations both for ourselves and our clients for much of
the whole year of 2020. Total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2022, was $ 3,673,997 compared to $ 2,949,780 for the same period
in 2021. The increase in total revenue was mainly derived from the sale of real estate properties during the first quarter and third
quarter of 2022, respectively. When nation-wide shutdowns were mandated the first half of 2020, there was a corresponding decline in
demand for our business services. When business gradually resumed beginning the first half of 2021, we saw a corresponding increase in
orders of our business services.
The
full extent of the financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic cannot be reasonably estimated at this time as the pandemic is still ongoing.
The extent to which the COVID-19 impacts our results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted,
including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the coronavirus and its variants and the actions taken globally
to contain the coronavirus or treat its impact, the efficacy of vaccines on COVID-19 and its variants, among others. Existing insurance
coverage may not provide protection for all costs that may arise from all such possible events.
Additionally,
the COVID-19 pandemic may also affect our overall ability to react timely to mitigate the impact of this event and may hamper our efforts
to contact our service providers and advisors and to provide our investors with timely information and comply with our filing obligations
with the SEC, especially in the event of office closures, stay-in-place orders and a ban on travel or quarantines. We are still assessing
our business operations and the impact COVID-19 may have on our results and financial condition in the future, but there can be no assurance
that this analysis will enable us to avoid part or all of any impact from the spread of COVID-19 or its consequences, including downturns
in business sentiment generally or in our sector in particular.
F- 8
Basis
of presentation and principles of consolidation
The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries and a majority-owned subsidiary
which the Company controls and entities for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. For those consolidated subsidiaries where the
Company’s ownership is less than 100 %, the outside shareholders’ interests are shown as noncontrolling interests in equity.
Acquired businesses are included in the consolidated financial statements from the dates of acquisition. The accompanying consolidated
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use
of estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial
statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant accounting estimates include certain
assumptions related to, among others, the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, impairment analysis of real estate assets and other
long-term assets including goodwill, estimates inherent in recording purchase price allocation, valuation allowance on deferred income
taxes, the assumptions used in the valuation of the derivative liability, and the accrual of potential liabilities. Actual results may
differ from these estimates.
Revenue
recognition
The
Company follows the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers . ASC 606 creates
a five-step model that requires entities to exercise judgment when considering the terms of contracts, which includes (1) identifying
the contracts or agreements with a customer, (2) identifying our performance obligations in the contract or agreement, (3) determining
the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the separate performance obligations, and (5) recognizing revenue as each
performance obligation is satisfied. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will
collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the services it transfers to its clients (see Note 2).
Cash,
cash equivalents, and restricted cash
Cash
consists of funds on hand and held in bank accounts. Cash equivalents includes demand deposits placed with banks or other financial institutions
and all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, including money market funds. Restricted cash represents
cash restricted for the loan collateral requirements as defined in a loan agreement, and the minimum paid-up share capital requirement
for insurance brokers specified under the Insurance Ordinance of Hong Kong.
On
December 31, 2022, cash included funds held by employees of $ 11,464 was to facilitate payment of expenses in local currencies or to facilitate
third-party online payment platforms which the Company had not set up a corporate account, such as WeChat Pay or Alipay.
As
of December 31, 2021, no cash of the Company was held by employees.

receivable is recorded at the invoiced amount less an allowance for any uncollectible accounts. Management reviews the adequacy of the
allowance for doubtful accounts on an ongoing basis, using historical collection trends and aging of receivables. Management also periodically
evaluates individual customer’s financial condition, credit history and the current economic conditions to make an adjustment to
the allowance when it is considered necessary. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have
been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.

Office
leasehold represents three adjoining office units used by the Company located in a commercial building in Shenzhen, China. The office
leasehold is subject to a land lease with a term of 27 years and is being depreciated over the remaining lease term. Expenditures for
maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation, classified as an operating expense, was $ 111,707 and $ 120,707 for the
years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Management
assesses the carrying value of property and equipment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may
not be recoverable. If there is indication of impairment, management prepares an estimate of future cash flows expected to result from
the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If these cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment
loss is recognized to write down the asset to its estimated fair value. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company determined
there were no indicators of impairment of its property and equipment.
Real
estate held for sale
Real
estate held for sale is reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value, less estimated costs to sell. The cost of real estate
held for sale includes the purchase price of property, legal fees, improvement costs to the building structure, and other acquisition
costs. We actively market all properties that are designated as held for sale. Real estate held for sale is not depreciated.
In
conducting its reviews for indicators of impairment, the Company evaluates, among other things, the margins on units already sold within
the project, margins on units under contract but not closed (none as of December 31, 2022), and projected margins on future unit sales.
The Company pays close attention to discern if the real estate held for sale is moving at a slower than expected pace or where margins
are trending downward. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company determined there were no indicators of impairment
of its real estate held for sale.

expense for the years ended December 31, 2022, and 2021 was $ 718 and $ 723 , respectively.
The
Company follows ASC 360 in accounting for intangible assets, which requires impairment losses to be recorded when indicators of impairment
are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by the assets are less than the assets’ carrying amounts.
For the years ended December 31, 2022, and 2021, the Company determined there were no indicators of impairment of intangible assets (see
Note 7).
Goodwill
Goodwill
is the excess of cost of an acquired entity over the fair value of amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business
combination. Under the guidance of ASC 350, goodwill is not amortized, rather it is tested for impairment annually, and will be tested
for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would indicate the carrying amount may be impaired.
An impairment loss generally would be recognized when the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s net assets exceeds the estimated
fair value of the reporting unit and would be measured as the excess carrying value of goodwill over the derived fair value of goodwill.
The Company’s policy is to perform an annual impairment testing for its reporting units on December 31, of each fiscal year.
During
2022, the Company determined there was an indicator of impairment, so an impairment of goodwill of $ 263,247 was made and its goodwill
was revalued at $ 82,561 as of December 31, 2022. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company determined there was no indicator
of impairment, so no impairment was made (see Note 7).
Impairment
of long-lived assets
Long-lived
assets primarily include real estate held for investment, property and equipment and intangible assets. In accordance with the provision
of ASC 360, the Company generally conducts its annual impairment evaluation to its long-lived assets, usually in the fourth quarter of
each year, or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist, such as a significant sustained change in the business climate. The
recoverability of long-lived assets is measured at the reporting unit level. If the total of the expected undiscounted future net cash
flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, a loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and carrying amount
of the asset.
As
of December 31, 2022, and 2021, the Company determined there was no indicator of impairment of its real estate held for investment and
its property and equipment, respectively.
Investments
Investments
in equity securities
The
Company accounts for its investments that represent less than 20 % ownership, and for which the Company does not have the ability to exercise
significant influence, using ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities . The Company measure investments in equity securities without a readily determinable fair value using a measurement
alternative that measures these securities at the cost method minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable
price changes on a non-recurring basis. Gains and losses on these securities are recognized in other income and expenses.
On
December 31, 2022, the Company had total twenty-seven (27) investments in equity securities without readily determinable fair values,
all were related party investments with aggregate value of $ 5,406,106 . In which, eleven (11) investments in equity securities without
readily determinable fair values were also related party investments, all were fully impaired and with $ nil value (see Note 6).
On
December 31, 2021, the Company had total twenty-seven (27) investments in equity securities without readily determinable fair values,
all were related party investments with aggregate value of $ 9,621,935 . In which, ten (10) investments in equity securities without readily
determinable fair values were also related party investments, all were fully impaired and with $ nil value (see Note 6).
Leases
Prior
to January 1, 2019, the Company accounted for leases under ASC 840, Accounting for Leases. Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted
the guidance of ASC 842, Leases, which requires an entity to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for virtually all leases.
The implementation of ASC 842 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and did not have
a significant impact on our liquidity or on our compliance with our financial covenants associated with our loans. The Company adopted
ASC 842 using a modified retrospective approach. As a result, the comparative financial information has not been updated and the required
disclosures prior to the date of adoption have not been updated and continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect
for those periods. The adoption of ASC 842 on January 1, 2019 resulted in the initial recognition of operating lease right-of-use assets
of $ 582,647 , lease liabilities for operating leases of $ 582,647 , and a zero cumulative-effect adjustment to accumulated deficit (see
Note 8).
F- 11
Derivative
financial instruments
Derivative
financial instruments consist of financial instruments that contain a notional amount and one or more underlying variables such as interest
rate, security price, variable conversion rate or other variables, require no initial net investment and permit net settlement. The derivative
financial instruments may be free-standing or embedded in other financial instruments. The Company evaluates its financial instruments
to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. The Company follows the provision
of ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging for derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument
is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the
statements of operations. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities
or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet
as current or non-current based on whether net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the
balance sheet date. At each reporting date, the Company reviews its convertible securities to determine that their classification is
appropriate.
Income
taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability approach which allows for the recognition and measurement of deferred
tax assets based upon the likelihood of realization of 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 deductibility is
uncertain.
The
Company conducts major businesses in Hong Kong, China and Malaysia, and is subject to tax in these jurisdictions. As a result of its
business activities, the Company will file separate tax returns that are subject to examination by the foreign tax authorities.
Net
loss per share
Basic
net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding, adjusted for the dilutive effect of outstanding Common Stock equivalents.
On
December 31, 2022, and 2021, the only outstanding Common Stock equivalents were warrants of 5,356 potentially dilutive shares outstanding
that have been excluded from the calculation of weighted average shares as the effect would have been anti-dilutive and therefore basic
and diluted net loss per share were the same.
Foreign
currencies translation
The
reporting currency of the Company is the United States Dollars (“US$”) and the accompanying consolidated financial statements
have been expressed in US$. In addition, the Company’s operating subsidiaries maintain their books and records in their respective
local currency, which consists of Malaysian Ringgit (“MYR”), Renminbi (“RMB”) and Hong Kong Dollars (“HK$”),
which is also the respective functional currency of subsidiaries.
In
general, for consolidation purposes, if a subsidiary’s functional currency other than US$, its assets and liabilities are translated
into US$ using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the
period. Any gains or losses resulting from translation of financial statements of a foreign subsidiary are recorded as a separate component
of accumulated other comprehensive loss within equity.
Translation
of amounts from each foreign currency of the Company into US$ has been made at the following exchange rates for the respective periods:

Comprehensive
income or loss is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances
from non-owner sources. The Company’s accumulated other comprehensive income or loss consists of cumulative foreign currency translation
adjustments.
F- 12
Fair
value of financial instruments
The
Company follows the guidance of the ASC 820-10, “ Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ” (“ASC 820-10”),
with respect to financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value. ASC 820-10 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy
that prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
●
Level
1 : Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
●
Level
2 : Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
●
Level
3 : Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions
The
Company believes the carrying amount reported in the balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaids and other
current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, deferred costs of revenue and deferred revenue, and due from or due to related
parties, approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments.
As
of December 31, 2022, and 2021, the Company’s balance sheet includes Level 3 liabilities comprised of the fair value of derivative
liabilities of $ 1 and $ 9,935 , respectively (see Note 9).
The
following table sets forth a summary of the changes in the estimated fair value of our derivative during the years ended December 31,

three customers accounted for 84 % ( 57 %, 20 % and 7 %, respectively) of the Company’s accounts receivable at year-end.
For
the year ended December 31, 2021, three customers accounted for 26 % ( 12 %, 8 % and 6 %, respectively) of the Company’s revenue, and
three customers accounted for 56 % ( 40 %, 10 % and 6 %, respectively) of the Company’s accounts receivable at year-end.
For
the year ended December 31, 2022, no vendor accounted for 10 % or more of the Company’s cost of revenues, and three vendors accounted
for 59 % ( 29 %, 19 % and 11 %, respectively) of the Company’s accounts payable at year-end.
For
the year ended December 31, 2021, no vendor accounted for 10 % or more of the Company’s cost of revenues, and three vendors accounted
for 65 % ( 47 %, 9 % and 9 %, respectively) of the Company’s accounts payable at year-end.
Exchange
rate risk
The
Company’s reporting currency is US$ but its major revenues and costs, and a significant portion of its assets and liabilities are
also denominated in MYR, RMB or HK$. As a result, the Company is exposed to a foreign exchange risk as its revenues and the results of
operations may be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate between US$ and MYR, US$ and RMB or US$ and HK$. If MYR, RMB or HK$ depreciates
against US$, the values of its revenues and assets in MYR, RMB or HK$ may decline accordingly when in translation to the Company’s
reporting currency, as its financial statements are presented in US$. The Company does not hold any derivative or other financial instruments
that may expose it to a substantial market risk.
Risks
and uncertainties
Substantially
all the Company’s services are conducted in Hong Kong, China, Malaysia, Thailand, Taiwan, and the South-East Asia region. The Company’s
operations are subject to various political and economic risks, including the risks of restrictions on transfer of funds, export duties,
quotas and embargoes, changing taxation policies, and political conditions and governmental regulations, and the adverse impact of the
coronavirus outbreak.
Recent
accounting pronouncements
In
August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging
– Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). This ASU reduces the number of accounting models for convertible debt
instruments and convertible preferred stock and amends the guidance for the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s
own equity to reduce form-over-substance-based accounting conclusions. In addition, this ASU improves and amends the related earnings
per share guidance. This standard became effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2022. Adoption is either a modified retrospective
method or a fully retrospective method of transition. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2022, and the adoption of
this standard did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In
June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Credit Losses - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASC 326”).
The standard significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets, including accounts and notes receivables.
The standard will replace today’s “incurred loss” approach with an “expected loss” model, under which companies
will recognize allowances based on expected rather than incurred losses. Entities will apply the standard’s provisions as a cumulative-effect
adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. The standard is
effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is currently assessing the impact of
adopting this standard on the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures.
Other
recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s
present or future financial statements.
F- 13
NOTE
2 - REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS
The
Company’s revenues consist of revenue from provision of business consulting and corporate advisory services (“service revenue”),
and revenue from leasing or trading of real estate properties (“real estate revenue”).
Revenue
from services
For
certain service contracts, we assist or provide advisory to clients in capital market listings (“listing services”), our
services provided to clients are considered as our performance obligations. Revenue and expenses are deferred until the performance obligation
is complete and collectability of the consideration is probable. For service contracts where the performance obligation is not completed,
deferred costs of revenue are recorded as incurred and deferred revenue is recorded for any payments received on such yet to be completed
performance obligations. On an ongoing basis, management monitors these contracts for profitability and when needed may record a liability
if a determination is made that costs will exceed revenue.
For
other services such as company secretarial, accounting, financial analysis, insurance brokerage services, and other related services
(“non-listing services”), the Company’s performance obligations are satisfied, and the related revenue is recognized,
as services are rendered. For contracts in which we act as an agent, the Company reports revenue net of expenses paid.
The
Company offers no discounts, rebates, rights of return, or other allowances to clients which would result in the establishment of reserves
against service revenue. Additionally, to date, the Company has not incurred incremental costs in obtaining a client contract.
Revenue
from leasing of real estate properties
Rental
revenue represents lease rental income from the Company’s tenants. The tenants pay in accordance with the terms in the lease agreements
and the Company recognizes the income ratably over the lease term as this is the most representative of the pattern in which the benefit
is expected to be derived from the underlying asset.
Revenue
from trading of real estate properties
The
Company follows the guidance of ASC 610-20, Other Income - Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (“ASC
610-20”), which applies to sales or transfers to noncustomers of nonfinancial assets. Generally, the Company’s sales of its
real estate properties are considered a sale of a nonfinancial asset. Under ASC 610-20, the Company derecognizes its asset and recognizes
a gain or loss on the sale of the real estate when control of the underlying asset transfers to the buyer.
During
the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recognized revenue from the sale of three units of commercial property held for sale, while
there was no property sold during 2021.
Cost
of revenues
Cost
of service revenue primarily consists of employee compensation and related payroll benefits, company formation costs, and other professional
fees directly attributable to the services rendered.
Cost
of rental revenue primarily includes costs associated with repairs and maintenance, property management fees, insurance, depreciation,
and other related administrative costs. Utility expenses are paid directly by tenants.
Cost
of real estate properties sold primarily consists of the purchase price of property, legal fees, improvement costs to the building structure,
and other acquisition costs. Selling and advertising costs are expensed as incurred.

following tables provide information about disaggregated revenue based on revenue by service lines and revenue by geographic area:

Equity
securities without readily determinable fair values are investments in privately held companies without readily determinable market values.
The Company adopted the guidance of ASC 321, Investments - Equity Securities, which allows an entity to measure investments in equity
securities without a readily determinable fair value using a measurement alternative that measures these securities at cost minus impairment,
if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investment of
same issuer (the “Measurement Alternative”). The fair value of equity securities without readily determinable fair values
that have been remeasured due to impairment are classified within Level 3. Management assesses each of these investments on an individual
basis. Additionally, on a quarterly basis, management is required to make a qualitative assessment of whether the investment is impaired.
The Company believes all the invested equity securities
are without readily determinable values even certain of the equity securities are listed in the over the counter (OTC) market, as their
securities are not actively traded on a securities exchange registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) or in the
OTC market.
For
the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recognized impairment of $ 4,208,029 for six of its total investments in equity securities
without readily determinable fair values. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recognized impairment of $ 5,349,600 for one
of its total investments in equity securities without readily determinable fair values.
In
addition, the Company recorded its equity securities without readily determinable fair values at cost. For these cost method investments,
we recorded as other investments in our consolidated balance sheets. We reviewed all our cost method investments quarterly to determine
if impairment indicators were present; however, we were not required to determine fair value of these investments unless impairment indicators
exist. When impairment indicators exist, we generally adopt the valuation methods allowed under ASC820 Fair Value Measurement to evaluate the fair values of our
cost method investments approximated or exceeded their carrying values.
As
of December 31, 2022, the carrying value of our cost method investments aggregated $ 5,406,106 .
On
December 31, 2022, and 2021, the carrying values of equity securities without readily determinable fair values are as follows:

(“Ace”, renamed to Falcon Corporate Services Limited on August 26, 2016) in 2015, and $ 129,032 of an insurance agency license
from the acquisition of Sparkle Insurance Brokers Limited (“Sparkle”, renamed to Greenpro Sparkle Insurance Brokers Limited
on April 4, 2019) on January 2, 2019, respectively.
On
December 31, 2022, the customer lists from Ace and the insurance agency license from Sparkle had been fully amortized. The Company’s
management conducted the annual impairment test and concluded that it is more likely than not the estimated fair value of the trademarks
of GRHK was more than their carrying amount, and no impairment loss was indicated. As a result, no impairment was recorded.
Amortization
expense for intangible assets for the years ended December 31, 2022, and 2021 was $ 718 and $ 723 , respectively.
Amortization
for each year following December 31, 2022, is as follows:

Goodwill
The
Company’s goodwill consisted of $ 319,726 from its acquisition of Falcon Secretaries Limited (“FASL”, renamed to Falcon
Accounting & Secretaries Limited on February 25, 2020) in 2015 and $ 26,082 from its acquisition of Greenpro Capital Village Sdn.
Bhd. (“GCVSB”) in 2021, respectively. As a result, the Company’s goodwill totaled $ 345,808 .
Goodwill
is not amortized but tested for any indicator of impairment annually.
During
2022, the Company conducted the annual impairment test and concluded that there was no indicator of impairment for the goodwill derived
from the acquisition of GCVSB, as the net asset value (“NAV”) of GCVSB was greater than the value of the goodwill as of December
31, 2022.
During
2022, the Company conducted another impairment test and concluded that there was an indicator of impairment for the goodwill derived
from the acquisition of FASL, as the NAV of FASL is lesser than the value of the goodwill as of December 31, 2022. Therefore, an impairment
loss of $ 263,247 was made and the goodwill was revalued at $ 56,479 .
As
of December 31, 2022, the value of Company’s goodwill was $ 82,561 .

NOTE
8 - OPERATING LEASES
As
of December 31, 2022, the Company has three separate operating lease agreements for one office space in Hong Kong with a term of two
years, one office space in Kuala Lumpur and another office space in Labuan both with a term of one year, respectively. Other than these
three separate leases, the Company does not have other leases. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the
balance sheet. The Company accounts for the lease and non-lease components of its leases as a single lease component. Lease expense is
recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Operating
lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease
payments over the lease term. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent
our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Generally, the implicit rate of interest (“discount rate”)
in arrangements is not readily determinable and the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value
of lease payments. The Company’s incremental borrowing rate is a hypothetical rate based on its understanding of what its credit
rating would be. The operating lease ROU asset includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives.
The
components of operating lease cost and supplemental cash flow information related to leases are as follows:

$ 9,935
Warrants
On
June 12, 2018, warrants exercisable into 53,556 shares of the Company’s Common Stock were issued as placement agent fees related
to the Company’s sale of Common Stock (see Note 11). The strike price of warrants issued by the Company is denominated in US dollars.
As a result, the warrants are not considered indexed to the Company’s own stock, and the Company characterized the fair value of
the warrants as a derivative liability upon issuance. The derivative liability is re-measured at the end of every reporting period with
the change in value reported in the statement of operations.
On
July 19, 2022, the Company filed a Certificate of Change with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada (the “Certificate of
Change”), to effect a reverse split of the Company’s Common Stock at a ratio of 10-for-1 (the “Reverse Stock Split”),
effective as of July 28, 2022. The Reverse Stock Split effected a reduction in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the
exercise of the warrants outstanding immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Reverse Stock Split. As a result of the Reverse Stock
Split, the number of the outstanding warrants exercisable into the Company’s Common Stock was reduced from 53,556 (pre-split) shares
to 5,356 (post-split) shares (see Note 11).
Warrant
activity including the number of shares and the exercise price per share has been adjusted for all periods presented in this Annual Report
to reflect the Reverse Stock Split effected on July 28, 2022, on a retroactive basis.
The
derivative liabilities were valued using the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model with the following assumptions:

The
risk-free interest rate is based on the yield available on U.S. Treasury securities. The Company estimates volatility based on the historical
volatility of its Common Stock. The expected life of the warrants is based on the expiration date of the warrants. The expected dividend
yield was based on the fact the Company has not paid dividends to common shareholders in the past and does not expect to pay dividends
to common shareholders in the future.
For
the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recognized a gain of $ 9,934 associated with the revaluation of above derivative liability.

NOTE
10 - STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Our
authorized capital consists, of 600,000,000 shares, of which 500,000,000 shares are designated as shares of Common Stock, par value $ 0.0001
per share, and 100,000,000 shares are designated as shares of preferred stock, par value $ 0.0001 per share. No shares of preferred stock
are currently outstanding. Shares of preferred stock may be issued in one or more series, each series to be appropriately designated
by a distinguishing letter or title, prior to the issuance of any shares thereof. The voting powers, designations, preferences, limitations,
restrictions, relative, participating, options and other rights, and the qualifications, limitations, or restrictions thereof, of the
preferred stock are to be determined by the Board of Directors before the issuance of any shares of preferred stock in such series.
Reverse
stock split in 2022
On
July 19, 2022, the Company filed a Certificate of Change with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada (the “Certificate of
Change”), to effect a reverse split of the Company’s Common Stock at a ratio of 10-for-1 (the “Reverse Stock Split”),
effective as of July 28, 2022. On that date, every 10 issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock were automatically
converted into one outstanding share of Common Stock.
The
Reverse Stock Split affected all holders of Common Stock uniformly and did not affect any stockholder’s percentage of ownership
interest. The par value of the Company’s Common Stock remained unchanged at $ 0.0001 per share and the number of authorized shares
of Common Stock remained the same after the Reverse Stock Split.
As
the par value per share of the Company’s Common Stock remained unchanged at $ 0.0001 per share, the change in the Common Stock recorded
at par value has been reclassified to additional paid-in-capital on a retroactive basis. All references to shares of Common Stock and
per share data for all periods presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been adjusted to
reflect the Reverse Stock Split on a retroactive basis.

NOTE
14 - SEGMENT INFORMATION
ASC
280, “Segment Reporting” establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments on a basis consistent with
the Company’s internal organization structure as well as information about services categories, business segments and major customers
in financial statements.
The
Company has two reportable segments that are based on the following business units: service business and real estate business. In accordance
with the “Segment Reporting” Topic of the ASC, the Company’s chief operating decision maker has been identified as
the Chief Executive Officer and President, who reviews operating results to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance
for the entire Company.
Existing
guidance, which is based on a management approach to segment reporting, establishes requirements to report selected segment information
quarterly and to report annually entity-wide disclosures about products and services, major customers, and the countries in which the
entity holds material assets and reports revenue. All material operating units qualify for aggregation under “Segment Reporting”
due to their similar customer base and similarities in economic characteristics; nature of products and services; and procurement, manufacturing,
and distribution processes. The Company operates two reportable business segments:
●
Service
business – provision of corporate advisory and business solution services
●
Real
estate business – trading or leasing of commercial real estate properties in Hong Kong and Malaysia
The
Company had no inter-segment sales for the years presented. Summarized financial information concerning the Company’s reportable
segments is shown as below:
