CAUTION REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

All statements contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q (“Form 10-Q”), other than statements of historical facts, that address future activities, events or developments are forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, statements containing the words “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect” and words of similar import.  These statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by us in light of our experience and our assessment of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments as well as other factors we believe are appropriate under the circumstances.  However, whether actual results will conform to the expectations and predictions of management is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially.  Such risks may include, among others, the following: national and local general economic and market conditions; our ability to sustain, manage or forecast our growth; raw material costs and availability; new product development and introduction; existing government regulations and changes in, or the failure to comply with, government regulations; adverse publicity; competition; the loss of significant customers or suppliers; fluctuations and difficulty in forecasting operating results; changes in business strategy or development plans; business disruptions; the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel; the ability to protect technology; and other factors referenced in this and previous filings.

Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements made in this Form 10-Q are qualified by these cautionary statements and there can be no assurance that the actual results anticipated by management will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will have the expected consequences to or effects on our business operations.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOVEMBER 30, 2013
(Unaudited)
 

1.             BASIS OF PRESENTATION

On December 10, 2013, the registrant’s name changed from Astra Ventures, Inc. to “CEFC Global Strategic Holdings, Inc.”  To effect the name change, we filed a Certificate of Amendment with the Nevada Secretary of State which became effective on December 10, 2013.  The name change pursuant to the Certificate of Amendment was approved by our board of directors and by holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock.  The name change became effective on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, where the registrant’s common stock is quoted for trading, at the open of business on December 10, 2013, under the new stock symbol “CGSH.”  

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of CEFC Global Strategic Holdings, Inc., formerly known as Astra Ventures, Inc. (the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's Annual Report filed with the SEC on Form 10-K.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein.  The results of operations for our interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.  Notes to the consolidated financial statements that would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2013, as reported in the Form 10-K, have been omitted.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the company’s wholly owned subsidiary, China Ocean Fuel Oil (USA) Co., Limited (“China Ocean”).  All intercompany transactions, if any, are eliminated upon consolidations.

Going Concern

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company anticipates future losses in the development of its business raising substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company generating profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Management intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months with existing cash on hand, loans from directors or related parties and/or issuance of common shares.

2.             RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Shareholder advances represent advances made to us by our majority shareholder, Sino Ocean Fuel Holdings Limited (formerly known as Formula One Investments Limited), for working capital purposes amounting to $84,930 at November 30, 2013.  These advances are non-interest bearing, due upon demand and are unsecured.

Item 2.   Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations

The following discussion provides information that we believe is relevant to an assessment and understanding of the results of operations and financial condition of our company.  It should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying notes.

Plan of Operation

Our Company was originally incorporated on September 23, 2010 in the State of Nevada.  We originally planned to commence business operations by obtaining distribution rights for television programming and specialty films such as reality television and extreme sports programming for reproduction and distribution across multiple markets and formats in the United States and worldwide.  However, in connection with the change of control transaction that closed on August 22, 2012 and which is more fully described below under the section below titled “Change of Control,” we appointed a new executive management team and changed our planned business operations.

We now intend to start operating a trading business, leveraging our executive management’s extensive experience in the trading of oil, fuel and other petroleum products.  On October 17, 2012, we completed the formation of our new wholly owned subsidiary trading company, China Ocean Fuel Oil (USA) Co., Limited (“China Ocean”), in Hong Kong through which we plan to engage in trading petroleum and petrochemical products.  Our management team is currently engaging in business development and we plan to commence our trading operations through China Ocean.  Our business office will be located in Hong Kong and we may also set up sales offices in China in the future.  Our suppliers will be mainly from sources based in the Middle East and our targeted customers will be buyers from mainland China, Hong Kong and Asia.  We plan to finance our trading business through bank financings and private loans.

We also intend to explore investment opportunities mainly in energy-related projects.  We anticipate raising funds for these investments through public or private equity or debt financings and bank loans.

We have not yet started operations or generated or realized any revenues from business operations.  Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion based on our prior business operations.  This means that there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an ongoing business for the next twelve months unless we obtain additional capital.  We do not expect to generate any revenue until we commence operations under our new business plan.  Accordingly, we must raise cash from other sources.  We currently have no arrangements in place for additional financing.  Our success or failure will be initially determined by the availability of additional financing and thereafter by our success in implementing our business plan.
 
Our current cash resources are insufficient to finance our planned expenditures.  To successfully commence our planned operations we will need to raise additional financing.  We anticipate raising the funds through either private loans, the public and/or private sale of our common stock or bank financing.  We have no third party financing commitments, and our ability to raise financing in the equity markets are uncertain as the equity markets, in recent years, have been depressed especially for start-up companies.

Change of Control

On August 22, 2012, Sino Ocean Fuel Holdings Limited (formerly known as “Formula One Investments Limited”), a British Virgin Islands company (“Sino Ocean”) acquired in private stock sale transactions an aggregate 4,200,000 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) from Sieg Badke, who prior to the Closing Date was the majority shareholder and the sole director and executive officer of the Company, and from other former individual stockholders of the Company, through which Sino Ocean acquired an additional 200,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock.  Following the closing of these private stock sale transactions and the change in control, Sino Ocean owned an aggregate 4,200,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, representing 60.87% of the issued and outstanding the Company’s Common Stock as of August 22, 2012 (the “Closing Date”).   In connection with the change of control, effective upon the Closing Date: (a) Sieg Badke resigned as the Company’s sole director, Chief Executive Officer, President, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Vice President; (b) Jesse Hahn resigned as the Company’s Secretary; (c) Mao Zhao, was appointed as the Chief Executive Officer and Director; (d) Chau To Chan was appointed as President and Chairman of the Board of Directors; (e) Qinzhen Li was appointed as Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Secretary of the Company; and (f) Yong Li was appointed as a member of the Board of Directors.

Change of Name

On December 10, 2013, the registrant’s name changed from Astra Ventures, Inc. to “CEFC Global Strategic Holdings, Inc.”  To effect the name change, we filed a Certificate of Amendment with the Nevada Secretary of State which became effective on December 10, 2013.  The name change pursuant to the Certificate of Amendment was approved by our board of directors and by holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock.  The name change became effective on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, where the registrant’s common stock is quoted for trading, at the open of business on December 10, 2013, under the new stock symbol “CGSH.”

Item 2.   Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations - Continued

Results of Operations
 
Three-Month Periods Ended November 30, 2013 and 2012

We did not earn any revenues during the three-month periods ended November 30, 2013 and 2012.
  
We incurred operating expenses in the amount of $20,047 for the three-month period ended November 30, 2013 as compared to $7,622 for the three-month period ended November 30, 2012.  These operating expenses comprised of general and administrative expenses.

Nine-Month Periods Ended November 30, 2013 and 2012

We did not earn any revenues during the nine-month periods ended November 30, 2013 and 2012.

We incurred operating expenses in the amount of $52,130 for the nine-month period ended November 30, 2013 as compared to $24,441 for the nine-month period ended November 30, 2012. These operating expenses comprised of general and administrative expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Net cash used in operating activities for the nine-month period ended November 30, 2013 was primarily attributable to a net loss of $52,130, offset by an increase in accounts payable of $17,066. Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended November 30, 2012 was primarily attributable to a net loss of $24,441 and a decrease in accounts payable of $2,133.

From our inception on September 23, 2010 to November 30, 2013, the cash used in operating activities was $103,930 and we generated cash of $133,930 from financing activities and had no cash flows from investing activities.

We are currently dependent on funds raised through shareholder advances from our majority shareholder, Sino Ocean.  Since our inception on September 23, 2010, we have raised proceeds of $49,000 in cash from the sale of our common stock, and we have received a total of $84,930 in advances from Sino Ocean for working capital purposes.

We currently do not have any credit facilities or other commitments for debt or equity financing.  No assurances can be given that advances when needed will be available.  We need additional funding to undertake our operations.  Private capital, if sought, will be sought from private and institutional investors.  To date, we have not sought any funding source and have not authorized any person or entity to seek out funding on our behalf.  If a market for our shares ever develops, of which there can be no assurances, we will use shares to compensate employees/consultants and independent contractors wherever possible.

We will incur ongoing expenses associated with professional fees for accounting, legal, and a host of other expenses in connection with the required filings with the SEC that are associated with being a public company.  We estimate that these costs will be approximately $100,000 per year for the next few years and will be higher if we commence operations under our new business plan and our business activity increases.  These obligations will reduce our ability and resources to fund other aspects of our business.  We hope to be able to use our status as a public company to increase our ability to use non-cash means of settling obligations and compensate certain independent contractors who provide professional services to us, although there can be no assurances that we will be successful in any of those efforts.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks

As a smaller reporting company (as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act), we are not required to provide the information called for by this Item 3.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls

As of November 30, 2013, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all error and fraud.  A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, but no absolute, assurance that the objectives of a control system are met.  Further, any control system reflects limitations on resources, and the benefits of a control system must be considered relative to its costs.  These limitations also include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of 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 a control.  A design of a control system is also based upon certain assumptions about potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the 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 may not be detected.

Conclusions

Based upon their evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of November 30, 2013, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that, subject to the limitations noted above, the disclosure controls were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed or submitted by the Company under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
Changes in internal control over financial reporting

There have been no changes during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
