Forward Looking Statements

This Form 10-K contains “forward-looking” statements including statements regarding our expectations of our future operations.  For this purpose, any statements contained in this Form 10-K that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements.  Without limiting the foregoing, words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” or “continue” or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements.  These statements by their nature involve substantial risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially depending on a variety of factors, many of which are not within our control.

These risks and uncertainties include international, national, and local general economic and market conditions; our ability to sustain, manage, or forecast growth, our ability to successfully make and integrate acquisitions, new product development and introduction, existing government regulations and changes in, or the failure to comply with, government regulations, adverse publicity, competition, fluctuations and difficulty in forecasting operating results, change in business strategy or development plans, business disruptions, the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel, the ability to protect technology, and the risk of foreign currency exchange rate.  Although the forward-looking statements in this report reflect the good faith judgment of our management, such statements can only be based on facts and factors currently known by them.  In light of these risks and uncertainties, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.  Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to announce publicly revisions we make to these forward-looking statements to reflect the effect of events or circumstances that may arise after the date of this report.  All written and oral forward-looking statements made subsequent to the date of this report and attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by this section.
 
PART I

Item 1. Business
 
Business of Company

We were incorporated as Forever Zen Ltd. on March 30, 2010, in the state of Nevada for the purpose of developing, manufacturing and selling a line of skin care products specifically for men.

Churyl Kylo served as our president, chief executive officer and sole director from the date of our incorporation until July 25, 2013.

On July 25, 2013, Churyl Kylo, then our majority shareholder, appointed Hans Van Niekerk as president, chief executive officer and as a member of our board of directors.  Hans Van Niekerk served as our president, chief executive officer and member of our board of directors until November 11, 2013, when he resigned, as a result of a change of control of the Company.

On November 11, 2013, Pioneer Media Investments Co., Ltd. purchased 1,500,000 shares of our common stock from Churyl Kylo and Hans Van Niekerk for $135,000.00 in cash.  Those 1,500,000 shares of our common stock represent 62% of our issued and outstanding common stock.  Additionally, those 1,500,000 shares of our common stock are restricted securities.  Pioneer Media Investments Co., Ltd. is beneficially owned and controlled by Alan Chen, our President and a member of our board of directors.

On November 11, 2013, Hans Van Niekerk resigned as our only officer and as a member of our board of directors.  On November 11, 2013, our shareholders voted Alan Chen as a member of our board of directors.
 
 

 
On November 11, 2013, Alan Chen, as our sole director, appointed himself as our president and chief executive officer.  Mr. Chen is 59 years old and for the past decade has been the chairman of the Chunghwa United Holdings Group, a consortium of multimedia companies actively involved in cable television, “5TV”, “NowNews”, “Airnet” and other global media ventures.

On November 11, 2013, we changed the location of our principal place of business to 4F, No. 550, Ruiguang Road, Neihu District, Taipei City 114, Taiwan (Republic of China).

On December 12, 2013, we changed our name to NOW NEWS DIGITAL MEDIA TECHNOLOGY CO LTD.

On December 26, 2013, we entered into a written Preliminary Definitive Agreement with GIA Consultant Corp, a Hong Kong corporation (“GIA”), pursuant to which GIA will provide certain consulting services to us in connection with prospective qualified business acquisition candidates and assistance in evaluating potential candidates for a possible acquisition.  A copy of that agreement is attached as an exhibit to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 27, 2013.

On December 26, 2013, we entered into a written Preliminary Definitive Agreement with Worldwide Media Investments Corp, a company incorporated in Anguilla (“Worldwide”), regarding our acquisition of Worldwide as a subsidiary (the “Acquisition Agreement”).  Pursuant to the provisions of the Acquisition Agreement, it was assumed that the transaction would be completed by January 31, 2014.  As of March 21, 2014, the transaction has not yet closed; and management hopes to have it closed as soon as practicable. Upon the closing of that transaction, all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Worldwide shall be acquired by the Company in exchange for, on a pro-rata basis, the number of shares of our common stock which will be equal to 99% of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock.  A copy of the Acquisition Agreement is attached as an exhibit to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on December 27, 2013.

Worldwide, by its subsidiary corporation Sky Media, owns and operates one of the largest Internet news content providers in Taiwan, Republic of China.

On January 31, 2014, Alan Chen, as our sole director, appointed Ching-Fen Huang as a member of our Board of Directors.  Ms. Huang is 42 years old.  From January 1, 2008 to April 28, 2008, Ms. Huang served as the Supervisor of the Accounting Department of ERA DIGITAL MEDIA Co., LTD.  From May 1, 2008 to August 31, 2010, Ms. Huang served as the Manager of the Financial and Accounting Department of CHUNGHWA UNITED GROUP.  From September 1, 2010, continuing until the present, Ms. Huang has served as the Senior Director of the Business Management Department of NOWnews Network Co. LTD.

As a result of the most recent change of control, we have ceased our operations regarding skin care products and our current business is providing various services to consumers and businesses by use of the Internet.  Those services include product advertising, news and similar information.  We believe that the increasing availability of high speed Internet access, electronic readers and connected mobile devices should enable us to provide our services in a timely and competitive manner.

Competition

The market for our services is intensely competitive and characterized by rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards and frequent new product and service innovations.  We have competition from existing competitors and new market entrants, many of which will have more resources than we have.
 
Intellectual Property
 
The Company devotes sufficient resources to protecting its intellectual property.  To protect its intellectual property, the Company relies on a combination of copyright, trademark, unfair competition, trade secret and other laws and contract provisions.  There can be no assurance, however, of the degree to which these measures will be successful in any given case.  Policing unauthorized use of the Company’s services, content and related intellectual property is difficult and the action taken may not in every case prevent the infringement by unauthorized third parties of the Company’s intellectual property.  The Company attempts to limit that threat by a combination of approaches, including pursuing legal sanctions for infringement.
 
 

 
Third parties may challenge the validity or scope of the Company’s intellectual property from time to time, and such challenges could result in the limitation or loss of the Company’s intellectual property rights.  Irrespective of their validity, such claims may result in substantial costs and diversion of resources that could have an adverse effect on the Company’s operations.  Moreover, effective intellectual property protection may be either unavailable or limited in certain foreign territories.  Therefore, the Company engages in efforts to strengthen and update intellectual property protection, including efforts to ensure the effective enforcement of intellectual property laws and remedies for infringement.

Regulatory Matters
 
We are subject to the laws and regulations of those jurisdictions in which we plan to operate our business, which are generally applicable to business operations, such as business licensing requirements, income taxes and payroll taxes.  New laws and regulations (or new interpretations and changes in enforcement of existing laws and regulations) may impact our business.  The costs of compliance with these laws and regulations are not known and may increase in the future, and any failure on our part to comply with these laws may subject us to significant liabilities and other penalties.

We monitor pending legislation and regulatory initiatives to ascertain relevance, analyze impact and develop strategic direction surrounding regulatory trends and developments.

Employees
 
We have no employees other than our President and director, Alan Chen. He currently oversees all responsibilities in the areas of corporate administration and business development. He currently devotes approximately 16 hours a week to the affairs of the Company. We intend to expand our current management to retain skilled directors, officers, and employees with experience relevant to our business.  Mr. Chen is highly skilled in managing our business operations.  Obtaining the assistance of individuals with in-depth knowledge of our products, services and markets should allow us to increase market share more effectively.
 
We do not, currently, employ any research and development personnel. In the short term, we intend to use the services of independent contractors for research and development.
 
Environmental Laws
 
We have not incurred and do not anticipate incurring any expenses associated with environmental laws.
 
Item 2. Properties
 
We maintain our corporate office at 4F, No. 550, Ruiguang Road, Neihu District, Taipei City 114, Taiwan (Republic of China). Our property is adequate and suitable for our needs.
 
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
 
We are not a party to any pending legal proceeding. We are not aware of any pending legal proceeding to which any of our officers, directors, or any beneficial holders of 5% or more of our voting securities are adverse to us or have a material interest adverse to us.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures

Not applicable.




 

PART II
 
Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
 
Market Information
 
Our common stock is currently quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”), which is sponsored by FINRA. The OTCBB is a network of security dealers who buy and sell stock. The dealers are connected by a computer network that provides information on current "bids" and "asks", as well as volume information. Our shares are quoted on the OTCBB under the symbol “FRVZ.OB.”
 
The following table sets forth the range of high and low bid quotations for our common stock for each of the periods indicated as reported by the OTCBB. These quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commission and may not necessarily represent actual transactions.

Penny Stock
 
The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a market price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, that: (a) contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading; (b) contains a description of the broker's or dealer's duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation of such duties or other requirements of the securities laws; (c) contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price; (d) contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; (e) defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and (f) contains such other information and is in such form, including language, type size and format, as the SEC shall require by rule or regulation.
 
The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the customer with (a) bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; (b) the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; (c) the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and (d) a monthly account statement showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account.
 
 

 
In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement as to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement.
 
These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity for our common stock. Therefore, stockholders may have difficulty selling our securities.
 
Holders of Our Common Stock
 
As of October 31, 2013, we had 2,412,000 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding, held by 40 shareholders of record.
 
Dividends
 
There are no restrictions in our articles of incorporation or bylaws that prevent us from declaring dividends. The Nevada Revised Statutes, however, do prohibit us from declaring dividends when after giving effect to the distribution of the dividend:
 
 
1.
We would not be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business, or;
 
2.
Our total assets would be less than the amount of our total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy the rights of shareholders who have preferential rights superior to those persons receiving the distribution.
 
We have not declared any dividends, and we do not plan to declare any dividends in the foreseeable future.
 
Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans
 
We do not have any equity compensation plans.
 
Item 6. Selected Financial Data
 
A smaller reporting company is not required to provide the information required by this Item.
 
Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

We intend to be a technology leader focused on improving the ways people connect with, use information and engage in commerce.  We intend to organize information and make it accessible and useful.

People are increasingly connected to the Internet and using multiple devices to access products and services.  We expect that our revenue will be affected by evolving consumer preferences, as well as by advertising trends, the acceptance by users of our services as they are delivered on diverse devices, and our ability to create a seamless experience for both users and advertisers.

Advertising transactions continue to shift from offline to online, as the digital economy evolves.  Our business includes online advertising, which consists of a variety of online platforms.

The main focus of our advertising operations is to assist businesses in reaching people across all devices with smarter ads that are relevant and consistent with our commitment to constantly improve their overall web experience.  As a result, we consistently take action to improve the relevance of the ads displayed on our website.

The widespread availability of broadband connections has resulted in a multitude of broadband applications that allow people to get access to news and other information.  In providing useful news and other information to users, our portals continue to gain traction as a method for people to access news and other content.
 
 

 
We conduct our business in highly competitive markets, facing both new and established competitors.  The markets for our services are characterized by rapidly changing technologies, frequent new product introductions, changing consumer trends, short product life cycles, consumer loyalty and evolving industry standards.  Market disruptions caused by new technologies, the entry of new competitors, consolidations among customers and competitors, changes in regulatory requirements, changes in economic conditions, supply chain interruptions or other factors, can introduce volatility into our business.  Meeting all of these challenges requires consistent operational planning and execution and investment in technology, resulting in innovative products that meet the needs of our customers around the world.

To stay competitive, we invest in research and development to improve the quality of our existing services, as well as to develop new features and services to cater to the changing needs of our users.  We also place tremendous focus on building a stronger organization that can attract, develop and retain the best engineering and business talents.  By focusing on our users and our people, and taking a long-term approach in building our business, we believe we can capitalize on the long-term growth potential in the Internet industry. 

Forward-Looking Statements
 
Certain statements, other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives, and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are “forward-looking statements.” These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believes,” “project,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “strategy,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on our operations and future prospects on a consolidated basis include, but are not limited to: changes in economic conditions, legislative/regulatory changes, availability of capital, interest rates, competition, and generally accepted accounting principles. These risks and uncertainties should also be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements.

Results of Operations for the Years Ended October 31, 2013 and 2012 and for the period from inception (March 30, 2010) to October 31, 2013
 
We have not earned any revenues since our inception. We are presently in the development stage of our business and we can provide no assurance that we will develop viable products or that we will be to enter into commercial production and generate sufficient sales.
 
Our operating expenses for the year ended October 31, 2013 were $29,667, as compared with $28,772 for the year ended October 31, 2012. Our operating expenses for the year ended October 31, 2013 consisted of professional fees in the amount of $28,230, transfer agent fees of $835, and general and administrative expenses of $602. Our operating expenses for the year ended October 31, 2012 consisted of professional fees in the amount of $23,401, travel expenses of $855, meals and entertainment of $22, transfer agent fees of $1,283, and general and administrative expenses of $3,211. Our operating expenses for the period from inception (March 30, 2010) through October 31, 2013 were $142,376, and consisted of professional fees in the amount of $96,036, consulting fees of $6,000, travel expenses of $3,985, meals and entertainment of $1,470, website expenses of $4,664, transfer agent fees of $19,551, and general and administrative expenses of $10,670.
 
We had a net loss of $29,667 for the year ended October 31, 2013, as compared with $28,772 for the year ended October 31, 2012, and a net loss of $142,376 for the period from inception (March 30, 2010) to October 31, 2013.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
As of October 31, 2013, we had total current assets of $1,612. Our total current liabilities as of October 31, 2013 were $28,925. Thus, we had a working capital deficit of $27,313 as of October 31, 2013.
 
 
 
 
Operating activities used $13,848 in cash for the year ended October 31, 2013. Our net loss of $29,667 was the primary component of our negative operating cash flow. Cash flows provided by financing activities during year ended October 31, 2013 consisted of $13,926, as proceeds from related party loans.
 
Based upon our current financial condition, we do not have sufficient cash to operate our business at the current level for the next twelve months.  We intend to fund operations through increased sales and debt and/or equity financing arrangements, which may be insufficient to fund expenditures or other cash requirements.  We plan to seek additional financing in a private equity offering to secure funding for our operations.  There can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising additional funding.  If we are not able to secure additional funding, the implementation of our business plan will be impaired.  There can be no assurance that such additional financing will be available to us on acceptable terms or at all.
 
Going Concern
 
We have a deficit accumulated during the development stage of $142,376 as of October 31, 2013. Our financial statements are prepared using the generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, we have no current source of revenue. Without realization of additional capital, it would be unlikely for us to continue as a going concern. Our management plans on raising cash from public or private debt or equity financing, on an as needed basis and in the longer term, and, ultimately, upon achieving profitable operations through the development of business activities.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
In December 2001, the SEC requested that all registrants list their most “critical accounting polices” in the Management Discussion and Analysis. The SEC indicated that a “critical accounting policy” is one which is both important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results, and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. We do not believe that any accounting policies currently fit this definition.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
We do not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flow.
 
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
As of October 31, 2013, there were no off balance sheet arrangements.
 
Explanatory Note Re: Subsequent Events
 
We include this Explanatory Note in this Annual Report to disclose the occurrence of certain events after October 31, 2013.
 
On November 11, 2013, Pioneer Media Investments Co., Ltd. purchased 1,500,000 shares of our common stock from Churyl Kylo and Hans Van Niekerk for $135,000.00 in cash. Those 1,500,000 shares of our common stock represent 62% of our issued and outstanding common stock. Additionally, those 1,500,000 shares of our common stock are restricted securities. Pioneer Media Investments Co., Ltd. is beneficially owned and controlled by Alan Chen, our President and a member of our Board of Directors.

On November 11, 2013, Alan Chen, as our sole director, appointed himself as our President and Chief Executive Officer.

On December 26, 2013, we entered into a written Preliminary Definitive Agreement with GIA Consultant Corp, a Hong Kong corporation (“GIA”), pursuant to which GIA will provide certain consulting services to us in connection with prospective qualified business acquisition candidates and assistance in evaluating potential candidates for a possible acquisition.  A copy of that agreement is attached as an exhibit to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 27, 2013.

On December 26, 2013, we entered into a written Preliminary Definitive Agreement with Worldwide Media Investments Corp, a company incorporated in Anguilla (“Worldwide”), regarding our acquisition of Worldwide as a subsidiary (the “Acquisition Agreement”).  Pursuant to the provisions of the Acquisition Agreement, it was assumed that the transaction would be completed by January 31, 2014.  As of March 21, 2014, the transaction has not yet closed; and management hopes to have it closed as soon as practicable.

Worldwide, by its subsidiary corporation Sky Media, owns and operates one of the largest Internet news content providers in Taiwan, Republic of China.  Accordingly, when the acquisition transaction with Worldwide closes, our operations will include providing that Internet news content in Taiwan, Republic of China.

(Formerly Forever Zen Ltd.), as of October 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended and for the period from March 30, 2010 (date of inception) to October 31, 2013.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company has determined that it is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 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.  An audit includes examining on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Now News Digital Media Technology Co Ltd. (Formerly Forever Zen Ltd.), as of October 31, 2013 and 2012 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the years then ended and for the period from March 30, 2010 (date of inception) to October 31, 2013, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that Now News Digital Media Technology Co Ltd. (Formerly Forever Zen Ltd.) will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 7 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred losses from operations, has a working capital deficit and is in need of additional capital to grow its operations so that it can become profitable.  These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans with regard to these matters are described in Note 7. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
OCTOBER 31, 2013
 
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Business
Now News Digital Media Technology Co Ltd. (Formerly Forever Zen Ltd.) (“Now News” or “the Company”) was incorporated in Nevada on March 30, 2010. Now News is planning on entering the business of internet media and news content. Now News is a development stage company and has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations.

Development Stage Company
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles related to development-stage companies.  A development-stage company is one in which planned principal operations have not commenced or if its operations have commenced, there has been no significant revenues there from.

Basis of Presentation
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and are presented in US dollars.

Accounting Basis
The Company uses the accrual basis of accounting and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP” accounting).  The Company has adopted an October 31 fiscal year end.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
Now News considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.  At October 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had $1,612 and $1,534 of cash, respectively.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accrued expenses, and amounts due to a related party. The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value due either to length of maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates unless otherwise disclosed in these financial statements.

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability.  The fair value should be calculated based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, not on assumptions specific to the entity.  In addition, the fair value of liabilities should include consideration of non-performance risk including our own credit risk.

In addition to defining fair value, the disclosure requirements around fair value establish a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs which is expanded.  The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market.  Each fair value measurement is reported in one of the three levels which is determined by the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.  These levels are:

Level 1 – inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
OCTOBER 31, 2013

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)
Level 2 – inputs are based upon significant observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 – inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques that include option pricing models, discounted cash flow models, and similar techniques.

The carrying value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities which consist of cash and cash equivalents, accrued expenses, and amounts due to a related party are valued using level 1 inputs.  The Company believes that the recorded values approximate their fair value due to the short maturity of such instruments.  Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, exchange or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.

Income Taxes
The Company utilizes the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the liability method deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the assets and liabilities and are measured using enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect, when the differences are expected to reverse. An allowance against deferred tax assets is recognized, when it is more likely than not, that such tax benefits will not be realized.

Any deferred tax asset is considered immaterial and has been fully offset by a valuation allowance because at this time the Company believes that it is more likely than not that the future tax benefit will not be realized as the Company has no current operations.

Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when products are fully delivered or services have been provided and collection is reasonably assured.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Basic Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. There are no such common stock equivalents outstanding as of October 31, 2013.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
OCTOBER 31, 2013

Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation is accounted for at fair value in accordance with ASC Topic 718.  To date, the Company has not adopted a stock option plan and has not granted any stock options.

Now News does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flow.

NOTE 4 – COMMON STOCK (CONTINUED)

An officer and shareholder forgave all amounts due from the company as of October 31, 2012 and the amount of $19,577 was recorded as contributed capital.

An officer and shareholder forgave all amounts due from the company as of October 31, 2013 and the amount of $19,886 was recorded as contributed capital.

There were no additional shares issued during the years ended October 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

As of October 31, 2013 and 2012 there were 2,412,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.

NOTE 5 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company neither owns nor leases any real or personal property. An officer has provided office services without charge.  There is no obligation for the officer to continue this arrangement.  Such costs are immaterial to the financial statements and accordingly are not reflected herein.  The officers and directors are involved in other business activities and most likely will become involved in other business activities in the future.

NOTE 6 – INCOME TAXES

As of October 31, 2013, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $142,000 that may be available to reduce future years’ taxable income through 2033. Future tax benefits which may arise as a result of these losses have not been recognized in these financial statements, as their realization is determined not likely to occur and accordingly, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance for the deferred tax asset relating to these tax loss carry-forwards.

The provision for Federal income tax consists of the following for the years ended October 31:
   
2013
   
2012
 
Federal income tax benefit attributable to:
           
Current Operations
  $ 10,087     $ 9,782  
Less: valuation allowance
    (10,087 )     (9,782 )
Net provision for Federal income taxes
  $ 0     $ 0  

The cumulative tax effect at the expected rate of 34% of significant items comprising our net deferred tax amount is as follows as of October 31:
   
2013
   
2012
 
Deferred tax asset attributable to:
           
Net operating loss carryover
  $ 48,408     $ 38,321  
Less: valuation allowance
    (48,408 )     (38,321 )
Net deferred tax asset
  $ 0     $ 0  

Due to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $142,000 for Federal income tax reporting purposes are subject to annual limitations.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
OCTOBER 31, 2013

NOTE 7 – LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN
 
Now News Digital Media Technology Co Ltd. (Formerly Forever Zen Ltd.) has a working capital deficit, has incurred losses since inception, and has received no revenues from sales of products or services.  These factors create substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The financial statements do not include any adjustment that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
 
The ability of Now News to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company generating cash from the sale of its common stock and/or obtaining debt financing and attaining future profitable operations.  Management’s plans include selling its equity securities and obtaining debt financing to fund its capital requirement and ongoing operations; however, there can be no assurance the Company will be successful in these efforts.

NOTE 8 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On November 11, 2013, Hans Van Niekerk resigned his official position as Director of the Corporation. On the same day, the shareholders of the Corporation voted Mr. Alan Chen as the new Director of the Corporation.

On December 12, 2013, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation with the State of Nevada, Amending Article One to change the name of the Company, which is now known as Now News Digital Media Technology Co Ltd.
 
On December 26, 2013, the Company entered into a written Preliminary Definitive Agreement with GIA Consultant Corp, a Hong Kong corporation (“GIA”), pursuant to which GIA will provide certain consulting services to the Company in connection with prospective qualified business acquisition candidates in order to aid the Company in evaluations of those potential candidates for possible acquisition.
 
Also on December 26, 2013, the Company entered into a written Preliminary Definitive Agreement with Worldwide Media Investments Corp, a company incorporated in Anguilla (“Worldwide”), regarding our acquisition of Worldwide as a subsidiary (the “Preliminary Acquisition Agreement”). Pursuant to the provisions of the Preliminary Acquisition Agreement, it was assumed that the transaction would be completed by January 31, 2014. As of March 21, 2014, the transaction has not yet closed; and management hopes to have it closed as soon as practicable. Upon the closing of that transaction, all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Worldwide shall be acquired by the Company in exchange for, on a pro-rata basis, the number of shares of our common stock which will be equal to 99% of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock.
 
On January 31, 2014, Mr. Alan Chen, as the sole director of the Company, appointed Ching-Fen Huang as a director of the Company.
 
In accordance with ASC Topic 855-10, the Company has analyzed its operations subsequent to October 31, 2013 to the date these financial statements were issued, and has determined that it does not have any material subsequent events to disclose in these financial statements other than the events described above.
 
 
 


Item 9. Changes In and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
 
No events have occurred requiring disclosure under Item 304 of Regulation S-K during the fiscal year ending October 31, 2013.
 
Item 9A(T). Controls and Procedures
 
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
As required by paragraph (b) of Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer evaluated our company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this annual report on Form 10-K. Based on this evaluation, our sole chief executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that as of October 31, 2013, these disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by our company in reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities Exchange Commission and include controls and procedures designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our company’s management, including our company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
The conclusion that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective was due to the presence of material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting as identified below under the heading “Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.” Management anticipates that such disclosure controls and procedures will not be effective until the material weaknesses are remediated. Our company intends to remediate the material weaknesses as set out below.
 
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) for our company. Our company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance, not absolute assurance, regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our company’s assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, and that our company’s receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions and that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, conducted an evaluation of the design and operation of our internal control over financial reporting as of October 31, 2013 based on the criteria set forth in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. This evaluation included review of the documentation of controls, evaluation of the design effectiveness of controls, testing of the operating effectiveness of controls and a conclusion on this evaluation. Based on this evaluation, our management concluded our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as at October 31, 2013 due to the following material weaknesses which are indicative of many small companies with small staff: (i) inadequate segregation of duties and effective risk assessment; and (ii) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of both United States generally accepted accounting principles and Securities and Exchange Commission guidelines. Management
 
 
 
 
anticipates that such disclosure controls and procedures will not be effective until the material weaknesses are remediated.  We plan to take steps to enhance and improve the design of our internal controls over financial reporting. During the period covered by this annual report on Form 10-K, we have not been able to remediate the material weaknesses identified above. To remediate such weaknesses, we plan to implement the following changes during our fiscal year ending October 31, 2014, subject to obtaining additional financing: (i) appoint additional qualified personnel to address inadequate segregation of duties and ineffective risk management; and (ii) adopt sufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting. The remediation efforts set out above are largely dependent upon our company securing additional financing to cover the costs of implementing the changes required. If we are unsuccessful in securing such funds, remediation efforts may be adversely effected in a material manner.
 
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to an exemption for non-accelerated filers set forth in Section 989G of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.
 
Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.
 
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
 
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended October 31, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

The following information sets forth the name of our director and executive officer, his age as of October 31, 2013 and his positions.
 
Name
Age
Position Held with the Company
Hans Van Niekerk
57
President, Chief Executive Officer, Principal Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Principal Financial Officer, Principal Accounting Officer, and Director
 
Set forth below is a brief description of the background and business experience of our executive officer and directors.
 
Hans Van Niekerk has been a sales and marketing professional for the past 15 years specializing in online and offline media as well as PR and affiliate partnerships. In 2002, Mr. Niekerk co-founded Good Life Ventures Inc. and Guava T.E.C. Nightclubs and Restaurants. He currently co-owns and serves on the Board of Directors for Good Life Ventures Inc and serves as the Marketing Director of Guava T.E.C. Nightclubs and Restaurants. From 2004 to 2008 he was the Head of Operations of Marketing and Sales and then became the Head of Marketing for Casino.com.  In 2008, Mr. Niekerk became the co-owner and Director of Sales and Marketing for Direct Media Works Inc. in Spain.  His extensive work history has provided him with experience in managing business plans, product development, public relations, and strategic marketing plans as well as effectively planning budget, development, implementation and negotiation of all global media.  We believe his experience qualifies him to service as our officer and director.
 
 

 
On November 11, 2013, Mr. Van Niekerk resigned as our officer and director.
 
On November 11, 2013, Alan Chen, as our sole director, appointed himself as our president and chief executive officer.
 
Alan Chen is 59 years old and for the past decade has been the chairman of the Chunghwa United Holdings Group, a consortium of multimedia companies actively involved in cable television, “5TV”, “NowNews”, “Airnet” and other global media ventures.  We believe his experience qualifies him to serve as our officer and director.

Term of Office
 
Our directors are appointed for a one-year term to hold office until the next annual general meeting of our shareholders or until removed from office in accordance with our bylaws. Our officers are appointed by our board of directors and hold office until removed by the board.
 
Significant Employees
 
We do not currently have any significant employees aside from Alan Chen..
 
Family Relationships
 
There are no family relationships between or among the directors, executive officers or persons nominated or chosen by us to become directors or executive officers.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
 
To the best of our knowledge, during the past ten years, none of the following occurred with respect to a present or former director, executive officer, or employee: (1) any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time; (2) any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses); (3) being subject to any order, judgment or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his or her involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities; and (4) being found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the SEC or the Commodities Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended or vacated.

Committees of the Board
 
Our company currently does not have nominating, compensation or audit committees or committees performing similar functions nor does our company have a written nominating, compensation or audit committee charter. Our directors believe that it is not necessary to have such committees, at this time, because the functions of such committees can be adequately performed by the board of directors.
 
Our company does not have any defined policy or procedural requirements for shareholders to submit recommendations or nominations for directors. The board of directors believes that, given the stage of our development, a specific nominating policy would be premature and of little assistance until our business operations develop to a more advanced level. Our company does not currently have any specific or minimum criteria for the election of nominees to the board of directors and we do not have any specific process or procedure for evaluating such nominees. The board of directors will assess all candidates, whether submitted by management or shareholders, and make recommendations for election or appointment.
 
 
 
 
A shareholder who wishes to communicate with our board of directors may do so by directing a written request addressed to our President and director, Churyl Kylo, at the address appearing on the first page of this annual report.

Code of Ethics
 
October 31, 2013, we had not adopted a Code of Ethics for Financial Executives, which would include our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions

Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters
 
The following table sets forth certain information known to us with respect to the beneficial ownership of our Common Stock as of October 31, 2013, by (1) all persons who are beneficial owners of 5% or more of our voting securities, (2) each director, (3) each executive officer, and (4) all directors and executive officers as a group. The information regarding beneficial ownership of our common stock has been presented in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Under these rules, a person may be deemed to beneficially own any shares of capital stock as to which such person, directly or indirectly, has or shares voting power or investment power, and to beneficially own any shares of our capital stock as to which such person has the right to acquire voting or investment power within 60 days through the exercise of any stock option or other right. The percentage of beneficial ownership as to any person as of a particular date is calculated by dividing (a) (i) the number of shares beneficially owned by such person plus (ii) the number of shares as to which such person has the right to acquire voting or investment power within 60 days by (b) the total number of shares outstanding as of such date, plus any shares that such person has the right to acquire from us within 60 days. Including those shares in the tables does not, however, constitute an admission that the named stockholder is a direct or indirect beneficial owner of those shares. Unless otherwise indicated, each person or entity named in the table has sole voting power and investment power (or shares that power with that person’s spouse) with respect to all shares of capital stock listed as owned by that person or entity.

Except as otherwise indicated, all Shares are owned directly and the percentage shown is based on 2,412,000 Shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of October 31, 2013.
