Special Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements
This
Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements, including
estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives
and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those
assumptions are based. These forward-looking statements are generally
identified by words such as “believes,” “project,” “expect,” “anticipate,”
“estimates,” “intends,” “plan,” “may,” “will continue,” 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 affect on our
operations and future prospects on a consolidated basis include, but are not
limited to: changes in economic conditions, 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. References in this
Annual Report on Form 10-K to “we,” “us,” “our,” “San Lotus” and the “Company”
are to San Lotus Holding Inc. and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis,
unless the context indicates otherwise.
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
San
Lotus Holding Inc. was incorporated in the state of Nevada on June 21, 2011 to
(1) market travel products and services to the growing “baby boomer” market,
with an initial focus on the Asian market, via developing and operating a global travel and
leisure agency business; and (2) jointly develop the tourism and travel of
He Ping Zhen, Shaowu City, Fujian Province, China with He Ping Zhen Development
Ltd., a China Limited Corporation, the specific
plans of which remains under preliminary discussion. Our vision is to consolidate travel products and services
and deliver value to the world’s travel population. We changed our state of incorporation from the State of
Nevada to the State of California (the "Conversion") on July 21, 2015.
We
are a development stage company that plans to market global travel products to
the retiring baby boomer generation in the Asian markets. We are in the initial
stages of opening a travel agency in Taiwan, Republic of China. On May 21,
2012, we obtained a license from the Investment Commission, Ministry of
Economic Affairs, Taiwan (R.O.C.) to invest into Taiwan through our
wholly-owned subsidiary, Green Forest Management Consulting Inc., a Taiwan
(R.O.C.) company. We anticipate that we will be able to obtain this approval by
the fourth quarter of 2016. The challenges we anticipate in obtaining the
necessary approvals to operate a travel agency in Taiwan (as well as in other
countries) primarily involves meeting the statutory requirements related to capital
requirements, statutory reserves and employing fit, proper and qualified
management. These challenges have already been addressed by starting our
business in Taiwan (as referenced in Risk Factors under government approval).
We expect to begin generating revenue in Taiwan in April 2016, after we obtain
the relevant licenses and approval from Taiwan’s government.
Our
travel services entity in Taiwan will provide both outbound travel services for
customers based in Taiwan and inbound travel services for customers based
abroad and coming to Taiwan. Both the outbound and inbound services will be
conducted in our Taiwan office, except the inbound services will rely in part
on advertising conducted or directed outside of Taiwan.
We
will not only book airplane tickets, hotels and tours, but design specialized
destination-related travel services for our customers based on their specific
needs and desires while they are in Taiwan. In this way, our market will
consist of both those potential travelers based in Taiwan, but also anyone from
any other country who might be planning a trip to Taiwan or need assistance
with designing a travel itinerary once they arrive in Taiwan. We will market
our products and services to the travel population in Taiwan and abroad through
our website, www.sanlotusholding.com, as well as through services such
as Twitter and other media outlets. we have purchased three vehicles to provide
transportation to our customers while they are in California, a common
destination for Taiwan business travelers and tourists.
1
We
intend to use the cars, with hired drivers, to provide car service for our
customers from the airport to their hotels or other desired destinations upon
their arrival in California. Providing car service is an experimental project
at this point as we only have three vehicles available for use. We will charge
our customers an amount that will cover our expenses in providing the car and
driver. In the event the service is popular and appears to benefit our
services, we may add to the service in the future, at which time we would
reevaluate the amount we charge for the service.
In addition to
developing our business in Taiwan, in the first quarter of 2013, we entered
into non-binding letters of intent to acquire existing travel services agencies
in Taipei City, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Vancouver, British Columbia and
California. We plan to proceed in negotiating terms for these acquisitions over
the course of the next several months while we simultaneously gather operational
data from our module operation in Taiwan. We expect to complete the
acquisitions of such travel agencies by the end of 2016. At the same time, we
also have entered into non-binding letters of intent to acquire land in Taiwan,
which land we intend to use to develop destination-related travel services. We
expect to complete the acquisitions of such land and/or land holding companies
by the end of 2016.
Despite
of entering the non-binding letters of intent to acquire the travel agencies
and land, we remain in the preliminary discussion with the travel agencies and
the sellers of the land about the specific considerations to acquire them.
Thus, to date, we are not able to estimate any specific costs in completing
such acquisitions. Acquiring the travel agencies located both within and
outside of Taiwan and land in Taiwan is an ongoing effort that will continue
during the life of the Company. To facilitate our acquisition efforts, we will
actively seeking additional funding on favorable terms to continue our acquisition.
If additional funding is not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able
to implement our acquisitions and continue our operations. We plan to be funded
by private placement of our equity securities and/or mortgage our land. But,
there can be no assurance we will be funded as such. Thus, there can be no
assurance we will successfully complete our acquisitions of travel agencies
and/or land. If we fail to complete our acquisitions of travel agencies and/or
land, we may be forced to cease our operation entirely, and you may lose all
your investment.
Each
of these non-binding letters of intent above was disclosed to the SEC in a
Current Report on Form 8-K shortly after our entry into each such non-binding
letter of intent.
Regarding
the development of our travel services entity in Taiwan, our plan is to build
up a successful module operation in Taiwan and to gain meaningful operational
data for one year before using it as a model to replicate throughout Asia. It
is critically important for us to obtain credible data in terms of the
following (per module main office, plus branch officers):
1.
Start-up Cost
A.
Capital requirements – estimated $100,000 upon application license – end
of 2016
B.
Statutory reserve – estimated $20,000 upon approval of license – end of 2016
C.
Fees –estimated $1,000 upon application for license – end of 2016
D.

5. Breakeven point and Projected Earnings
Making
projections using real figures based on the module operations should lower our
level of risk as we expand into other countries. While it is premature to set
any definitive dates in applying for obtaining statutory approval to operate
travel agencies beyond Taiwan (R.O.C.), we anticipate that after one full year
of operation, we will have sufficient data to construct an expansion plan for
establishing ventures beyond Taiwan.
Products and
Services Offered:
·
Transportation: airlines / buses / car rentals / railways / cruises;
·
Accommodation: hotels / resorts / cruises; and
·
Packaged holidays / local tours.
Our
business strategy is to generate revenue mainly through commissions or mark-ups
for selling travel products. For example, for airplane tickets, for which we do
not take inventory, we will receive commission revenue from the airlines as
compensation for selling airplane tickets to our customers. In other words, our
revenue will not come directly from the payments which the customers make to
the airlines, but instead our commission revenue will be paid by the product
provider (e.g. airlines) directly to our Company. The size of commission will
vary from product to product, depending on how product providers (e.g.
airlines) set their distribution strategy. Below is an estimate of the
commission percentage we expect to be able to obtain for each type of product:
Type of
Product
|
Estimated
Commission %
|
Transportation
|
3 ~ 10%
|
Accommodation
|
3 ~ 10%
|
Packaged Tours
|
3 ~ 10%
|
Another
type of revenue would come from mark-ups. Our mark-up revenue will be earned
when we choose to take inventory on products such as hotel stays, cruise trips
or tours. This type of revenue is different from commission-based revenue in
that we will secure the product outright before customers purchase the product.
After we purchase the product, we would then sell the product to the customer
at a higher price, thereby earning the difference or mark-up as profit. The
size of the mark-up will vary depending on our inventory level, market
conditions and customer preference.
Below is an estimate of the mark-up
percentage and the initial cost of obtaining wholesale inventory for each type
of product:
Type
of Product
|
Estimated
Mark-up %
|
Initial
Cost of Obtaining Wholesale Inventory
|

Accommodation
|
10 ~ 30%
|
$30,000
|
Packaged Tours
|
10 ~ 20%
|
$10,000
|
We
expect to incur the cost of obtaining wholesale inventory starting in the first
quarter of 2014 or as soon as our license to operate a travel agency has been
granted. Consequently, we will recover the cost and make a profit when
inventory is turned over or sold. The profitability of our mark-up business
will depend on how frequent inventory is turned.
We anticipate providing other ancillary
travel services such as submitting visa applications on behalf of clients. It
is our understanding that it is customary to charge a handling fee of US$5~10
for the submission of a visa application. These types of services, however,
should only constitute a small part of our overall revenue.
We
plan to market our company to high-income individuals and affinity groups, such
as private schools, alumni groups and wealth management organizations at banks
and investment firms. Our plan to reach these target customers is through
seeking lists from the affinity groups and marketing online. In terms of
seeking lists from affinity groups, our strategy involves no upfront cost to
our company. We will instead share the profits with the organizations that
provided such lists when customers purchase travel products through our
company. Our general rule of thumb is to share 50% of the profit with the
affinity group. This estimate may be adjusted upward or downward depending on
the size and quality of the customer list. Separately, we plan to market our
company online through our company website. Currently under construction, our
company website, www.sanlotusholding.com, will be a vehicle to promote our
offerings to a wide audience. We plan on
3
interacting with our retail customers
primarily through our website. Our customers will be able to place their
purchases via the telephone, through credit card or bank transfer payment.
Business Development
The
Company seeks to develop mutually beneficial business relationships with travel
product providers, such as airlines, hotels and tour operators, and will begin
offering travel products to our customers. The Company will work on reaching a
variety of affinity groups and reaching agreements to service their customers.
The Company recently launched a website, www.sanlotusholding.com, to begin
marketing our services online. Our costs as a reporting company in our first year
are approximately $165,000 in legal fees and $45,000 in auditing fees, including
the preparation of our 10-K filing and annual audit. And, our costs as a
reporting company in our second year are approximately $16,193 in legal fees
and $50,300 in auditing fees, including the preparation of our 10-K filing and
annual audit.
Marketing and Sales
Our
initial marketing efforts will be designed to drive prospective clients to our
website, www.sanlotusholding.com. We plan to use social media vehicles such as
Twitter and Facebook to generate awareness of our website. We expect to engage
prospective clients through promoting our website and responding to requests
for information. Eventually, we expect to use broader-based email marketing to
generate a much larger number of sales leads that will be followed up with a
personal exchange, via email or telephone, but there is no guarantee this will
be successful.
We have taken the following steps in
implementing our business plan:
Vendor Discussion and Supplier
Agreements
We
have contacted vendors to provide travel related products to our customers.
Below is a summary of the number of vendors who have responded favorably to our
request. We have not signed any formal supplier agreements with product

Website Development
We have completed the initial version
of our website, www.sanlotusholding.com, and will use this site to market our
services to the general public.
Affinity Groups
We
have used the contacts of our directors and officers in initially contacting
various affinity groups. Thus far, we have had conversations with no less than
five groups that have expressed interest in sharing their group list with our
company. However, at this time we have not executed any of agreements with
these companies. Below is a summary of the statistics we wish to reach

We
are in the process of applying for our license to operate a travel agency in
Taiwan. We expect to receive approval for our business license by the end of 2016.
Once proper licenses and approvals have been granted, we will need to take the
following steps in generating revenue:
·
Formally launch online operations (in or after 2015)
·
Sign formal supplier agreements with product vendors that have expressed
interest previously (in or after 2015)
·
Sign on additional product vendors (in or after 2015)
·
Sign profit sharing agreements with affinity groups that have expressed
interest previously (completed as of the year 2012)
·
Sign on additional affinity groups (in or after 2015)
·
Hire office staff (in or after 2015)
These
steps will ensure that we have sufficient product and service offerings to
attract customers, both to launch our operations and on an ongoing basis going
forward.
In
addition to the aforementioned steps, we are in the process of investing in and
developing scenic/destination real estate sites through the acquisition of land
and land holding companies. We acquired certain land and canceled certain land
transactions in Taiwan (R.O.C.), which is specifically described in Item 2 of our
annual report on Form 10-K filed on March 30, 2015( as amended by the Form
10K/A filed on July 7, 2015).
We
expect the destination real estate portion of our business to make up
approximately half of our overall business in the future, with the other half
consisting of travel agencies. By destination real estate, we mean to develop
locations that will attract and support visitors for stays of one day or
longer, providing outdoor activities and places of interest for visitors from
both domestic locales and abroad. In addition to our destination real estate business,
we are continuing to develop our travel agency in Taiwan and have entered into certain
non-binding letters of intent to acquire travel agencies located outside of
Taiwan in both Asia and North America. We aim to complete the acquisition of five
travel agencies by the end of 2016. We intend to
fund all of these acquisitions through the sale of our common stock. While this
will cause dilution to the existing shareholders, we do not believe this
dilution will negatively affect the shareholders as the acquisitions will add
significant value to the Company and will allow the Company to proceed in
developing its business.
We
may also from time to time invest in travel-related service providers that we
believe can help us better service our customers and help them meet their
travel needs. Through investing in such entities, we may be able to recoup some
of our costs through maintaining small ownership interests in the entities our
clients use. Furthermore, by investing in these entities, we may be able to work
with them to better improve their travel offerings or related services or bring
the entities up to the standard of service our customers expect. We recently
made one such investment in A Peace World Holding Inc. (“APW”), a company in
the early stages of developing destination real estate products and services.
We expect that APW, based on its expressed business plans, will develop
destination real estate that our customers will be interested in traveling to,
thus enhancing the products and services we can provide to our customers. Any
costs involved in offering such products and services to our customers, if
there are any such costs, will be incorporated into the fees we charge our
customers for our service. At this time we have no further plans for making any
additional such investments and therefore have no plans of making further
capital expenditures in relation to such investments.
Competition
We
will be operating in two sectors – in the area of destination real estate
development and travel agencies. These two sectors will complement each other
as, over the long term, the travel agencies will be able to refer clients and
visitors to our destination real estate sites. We will face competition from
many individuals and companies that also market travel locations and products.
As concerns travel destinations, we desire to utilize scenic properties
5
that
will allow for outdoor activities. Thus we must create locations that provide
both activities of interest and provide convenience and amenities, while allowing
visitors to enjoy the natural beauty of the area around them.
Observation
tells us that the current travel industry is generally driven by the lowest
cost provider. However, different segments of the market, such as the affluent
segment, consider factors beyond cost when they plan vacations and travel.
Ahead of cost, an affluent consumer may value factors such as convenience,
comprehensive service, and luxury and/or prestige, to name a few. We believe
that a successful marketing effort to reach the affluent market segment
(retiring baby boomers) with the right quality of products should increase our
revenue opportunity. In Taiwan, market conditions for the travel industry are
similar to those of the U.S. There is a mix of large travel agencies, online
service providers and small-scale local operators. However, since Taiwan is
geographically much smaller than the U.S., competition is fierce.
In Taiwan,
there are four types of travel agencies:
1.
Mega Agencies
A.
Lion Travel
B.
Cola Tour
C.
EZ Travel
2.
Intermediate-Small – locally or regionally owned agencies
A.
Star Travel
B.
SET Tour
3.
Independent Agencies: Usually catering to a special or niche market
A.
Royal Jet Way
B.
Perfect Travel
C.
Life Tour
4.
Airline & other types of travel consolidators
A.
China Airlines
B.
EVA Airlines
C.
American Express
We
feel at this time we would fall into the Independent Agency category and hope
to create our own niche as a more customer-oriented agency or travel service
provider with a reputation of going the “extra mile” wherever possible in
connecting the right type of customers with the right type of products.
Concerning
destination real estate sites, there are many competitors who will be vying for
the business of our potential clientele. The key will be to develop attractive
properties that provide the amenities and activities that visitors would enjoy.
In our development plans, we are defining destination real estate as locations
that will draw tourist from both domestically and abroad to visit our sites for
a period of one or two days or more. So in the long term we will be developing
sites that include hotels, restaurants, as well as activity and entertainment
centers, among other things. Some of our competitors in the destination real
estate sector in Taiwan include the following companies:
Elements Innovation Co. Ltd.
6
E United Group
Taiwan Land Development Inc.
ITEM 1A. RISK
FACTORS
Our business is subject to many
factors that could materially or adversely affect our future performance and
cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied
by any forward-looking statements made in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Those risk factors are outlined below.
Risks
Related to Our Business
WE MAY NEED ADDITIONAL
CAPITAL TO DEVELOP OUR BUSINESS.
The
development of our services will require the commitment of substantial resources
of approximately $210,000 over the next 12 months to implement the next stages
of our business plan. Currently, we have no established bank-financing
arrangements. Therefore, it is likely we would need to seek additional
financing through subsequent future private offerings of our equity securities.
We have no current plans for additional financing. As of March 7, 2016, we had $6180
cash in the bank, $110 cash held by our wholly-owned Taiwan (R.O.C.)
subsidiary, Green Forest Management Consulting Inc., $0 cash held by our
wholly-owned Taiwan (R.O.C.) subsidiary, Da Ren International Development Inc.,
and $2,500 cash held by our wholly-owned Taiwan (R.O.C.) subsidiary Mao Ren International Inc. for
purposes of building our travel services business in Taiwan. We expect the
remainder of the needed funds to come in the form of loans from our former
Chairman, Chen ,Li Hsing.
We cannot give you any assurance that
any additional financing will be available to us or, if available, will be on
terms favorable to us. The sale of additional equity securities will result in
dilution to our stockholders. The occurrence of indebtedness would result in
increased debt service obligations and could require us to agree to operating
and financing covenants that would restrict our operations. If adequate
additional financing is not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able
to implement our business development plans or continue our business
operations. We believe the only source of funds that would be realistic at this
stage of our operation is through a loan from our president and the sale of
equity capital. At this time we have no guarantee or written loan agreement
with our president, just a verbal agreement. Now that our stock is quoted on
the OTCBB, we may have the opportunity to participate in the equity markets and
raise the necessary capital through the sale of our stock. There is no
assurance, however, that we will be able to raise capital through the sale of
our stock.
WE HAVE A LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY AND FACE MANY
OF THE RISKS AND DIFFICULTIES FREQUENTLY ENCOUNTERED BY DEVELOPMENT STAGE
COMPANIES.
We
are a development stage company and, to date, our development efforts have been
focused primarily on the development and marketing of our business model and
website. We have a limited operating history for investors to evaluate the
potential of our business development. We have not yet built our customer base
or our brand name and it is possible we never will. In addition, we face many
of the risks and difficulties inherent in gaining market share as a new
company.
Our operations to date have been
devoted primarily to start-up and development activities, which include:
1. formation
of the Company;
2. development
of our business plan;
3. evaluating
various travel destinations;
4. researching
marketing channels and strategies;
5. developing
our web site: www.sanlotusholding.com; and
6. acquiring
land for potential destination real estate development.
7
Our
future will depend on our ability to bring our service to the marketplace,
which requires careful planning, without incurring unnecessary cost and
expense.
GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS MAY
NEGATIVELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS AND DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES.
With
the addition of land and land development projects in Taiwan, we will be
subject to additional governmental regulations that may limit our operations or
create delays as we may be required to obtain additional permits and
governmental consent to our development projects and/or land usage. Any additional
requirements for permits or regulations that need to be complied with may cause
us to incur additional expense.
WE WILL BE SUBJECT TO ENVIRONMENTAL
LAWS AND THE COST OF COMPLIANCE COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS.
With
the ownership of land, we will be subject to various environmental laws.
Compliance with these laws may cause us to incur additional expense or delay in
our land development projects.
DUE
TO OUR REAL ESTATE DEVELPOPMENT PLANS, WE WILL FACE FIXED COSTS DUE TO PROPERTY
TAX AND PROPERTY INSURANCE REQRUIREMENTS.
Our
business strategy concerning our real estate development business involves high
fixed costs, including property taxes and insurance costs, which we may be
unable to adjust in a timely manner in response to any reduction in our
revenues. The land we have acquired is uninsured at present and has a yearly
property tax of NT$60,180 (US$1,820). We will need to insure the property in
the future and we will be able to better estimate insurance costs as we
determine how we are going to utilize the property, which we intend to do
following the completion of additional land and land holding company
acquisitions, which we expect to complete sometime in 2016.
OUR REAL
ESTATE DEVELOPMENT EFFORTS MAY BE DELAYED OR UNSUCCESSFUL IN THE EVENT WE ARE
UNABLE TO RAISE ADDITIONAL FUNDS.
The real estate development industry is
capital intensive, and real estate development requires significant up-front
expenditures to develop land and begin construction. Accordingly, we will
require substantial expenditures to finance our land development activities.
Although we believe that internally generated funds will be sufficient to fund
our capital and other expenditures, the amounts available from such sources
will not be adequate to meet funding requirements for our planned development
and construction activities. We do not yet know how much the real estate
development portion of our business will cost as we have just begun the process
of acquiring land that we will use for development. Once we have acquired the
lands for which we have entered into non-binding letters of intent for
acquisition, we will evaluate our development plans and further determine how
much we expect the land development to cost. We will likely need to seek
additional capital in the form of sales of our equity securities to meet these
funding needs. Our failure to obtain sufficient capital to fund our planned
expenditures could have a material adverse effect on our business and
operations and our results of operations in future periods.
AVAILABILITY OF THE INTERNET MAKES
IT MUCH EASIER FOR INDIVIDUALS TO PLAN THE DETAILS OF THEIR OWN TRIPS.
The
availability of the Internet makes it much easier for affluent individuals and
others to plan the details of their own trips, thereby eliminating the fees we
hope to collect. Such self-managed trips may have caused many travel agencies
to go out of business in recent years and may continue to cause travel agencies
to go out of business.
IF
WE ARE NOT ABLE TO LOCATE TRAVELERS WILLING TO PAY FOR TRAVEL SERVICES WE MAY
HAVE TO CEASE OPERATIONS.
The
travel industry in general is ruled by those who can provide service at the
lowest price. The Company aims to reach travelers who are willing and able to
pay for travel design services and it may be difficult to find these travelers
in numbers large enough to make our business model work well enough to attain
profitability. If we are
8
unable to locate travelers willing to pay for our
travel services we may not be able to continue our business operations.
UNCERTAINTY
AND ADVERSE CHANGES IN THE GENERAL ECONOMIC CONDITIONS OF THE MARKETS IN WHICH
WE WILL PARTICIPATE MAY NEGATIVELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS.
Current
and future conditions in the economy have an inherent degree of uncertainty. It
is even more difficult to estimate growth or contraction in various parts,
sectors and regions of the economy, including the markets in which we will
participate. As a result, it is difficult to estimate the level of growth or
contraction for the economy as a whole. Adverse changes may occur as a result
of soft global economic conditions, rising oil prices, wavering consumer
confidence, unemployment, declines in stock markets, contraction of credit
availability, or other factors affecting economic conditions in general. These
changes may negatively affect our sales and/or increase our exposure to losses.
These possible changes may also affect the ability for a start-up company like
us to raise sufficient capital in the U.S. equity market.
OUR OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS CONTROL 42.65
PERCENT OF THE COMPANY GIVING THEM SIGNIFICANT VOTING POWER AND MAY TAKE
ACTIONS THAT MAY NOT BE IN THE BEST INTEREST OF ALL OTHER STOCKHOLDERS.
Because
our officers and directors together hold 36.61 percent of our common stock,
they may be able to exert significant control over our management and affairs
requiring stockholder approval, including approval of significant corporate
transactions. They may also be able to determine their compensation.
WE
MAY INCUR SIGNIFICANT COSTS TO BE A PUBLIC COMPANY AND TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE
WITH U.S. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND ACCOUNTING REQUIREMENTS AND WE MAY NOT BE
ABLE TO ABSORB SUCH COSTS.
We
may incur significant costs associated with our public company reporting
requirements, costs associated with applicable corporate governance
requirements, including requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and
other rules implemented by the Securities and Exchange Commission. We expect
all of these applicable rules and regulations to significantly increase our
legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time
consuming and costly. We also expect that these applicable rules and
regulations may make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain
director and officer liability insurance and we may be required to accept
reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to
obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for
us to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve on our board of
directors or as executive officers. While we do not presently have D&O
insurance for our officers and directors, we intend to acquire D&O
insurance in the future. We are estimating our annual costs for being a
publicly reporting company to be approximately $160,000 range for the next few
years. In addition, we may not be able to absorb these costs of being a public
company, which will negatively affect our business operations.
THE
LACK OF PUBLIC COMPANY EXPERIENCE OF OUR MANAGEMENT TEAM COULD ADVERSELY IMPACT
OUR ABILITY TO COMPLY WITH THE REPORTING REQUIREMENTS OF U.S. SECURITIES LAWS.
Our
management team lacks public company experience, which could impair our ability
to comply with legal and regulatory requirements, such as those imposed by the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Our senior management has never had responsibility
for managing a publicly traded company. Such responsibilities include complying
with federal securities laws and making required disclosures on a timely basis.
Our senior management may not be able to implement programs and policies in an
effective and timely manner that adequately respond to such increased legal,
regulatory compliance and reporting requirements, including establishing and
maintaining internal controls over financial reporting. Any such deficiencies,
weaknesses or lack of compliance could have a materially adverse effect on our
ability to comply with the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, which is necessary to maintain our public company status. If we
fail to fulfill those obligations, our ability to continue as a U.S. public
company would be in jeopardy in which event you could lose your entire
investment in our company.
9
OUR
OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS HAVE THE ABILITY TO DETERMINE THEIR SALARY AND
PERQUISITES WHICH MAY CAUSE US TO HAVE A LACK OF FUNDS AVAILABLE FOR NET
INCOME.
Because
our officers and directors have the discretion to determine their salary and
perquisites we may have no net income. If our officers determine that their
salaries are at a level above our potential earnings the company may not have
funds available.
AS
A SMALLER TRAVEL COMPANY WITH REPORTING OBLIGATIONS, AND AS THE TRAEL INDUSTRY
HAS LOW BARRIERS TO ENTRY, WE MAY BE AT A COMPETITIVE DISADVANTAGE TO OTHER
TRAVEL COMPANIES.
Because
the travel market is competitive, is driven in part by costs and consists
mostly of private companies that do not have public reporting obligations, our
reporting obligations may put us at a competitive disadvantage. The travel
industry has low barriers to entry. In addition, we face additional expenses
that a private travel company does not have such as PCAOB auditor fees, EDGAR
filing fees and legal fees related to our SEC reporting obligations. Other
non-public travel companies do not incur these costs. We are at a competitive
disadvantage to our competitors because of this.
OUR OFFICERS CURRENTLY WORK AS
PART-TIME TRAVEL AGENTS WHICH MAY POTENTIALLY LEAD TO A CONFLICT OF INTEREST.
Our
officers currently serve as part-time travel agents and this may lead to a
conflict of interest and potentially lead to a loss of business opportunities.
Our officers’ current part-time employment may divert potential clients and
business opportunities for the Company to their other businesses. This may have
an adverse consequence on our potential revenues. Our officers may be unable to
spend adequate time developing the Company’s business because of their current
part-time status with the Company. Currently they each work 15-20 hours per week
for the Company.
WE
WILL NEED GOVERNMENT APPROVAL TO OPERATE TRAVEL AGENCIES IN THE COUNTRIES WHERE
WE PLAN TO HAVE OPERATIONS.
We
will need government approval to operate travel agencies in the countries where
we have operations. For example, in Taiwan (Republic of China), we need to
obtain the approval of the Tourism Bureau under the Ministry of Transportation
and Communications. Accordingly, we will have to comply with the relevant laws
regulating our activities. At this time, we have obtained consent from the
Ministry of Commerce of Taiwan (R.O.C.) to directly invest into Taiwan through
our wholly owned subsidiary, Green Forest Management Consulting Inc., but we
have not yet received permission to operate a travel agency. There are a number
of requirements we will need to meet under the laws of Taiwan in obtaining and
maintaining a license to operate a travel agency. The more pertinent
requirements include (1) meeting capital base requirements by type of travel
agency, (2) maintenance of statutory deposit/reserve by type of travel agency
and number of branches, and (3) qualification of management personnel, among
others.
Our
company has enough capital to meet the capital and statutory reserve
requirements for operating a travel agency in Taiwan after taking into account
the costs of our business plan and cost of operations. As an example, to be a
type B travel agency in Taiwan, the minimum capital requirement is equivalent
to $100,000, with a required statutory reserve of $20,000 for the main office
and $5,000 per branch office. A type B travel agency is one that is permitted
to carry out the following travel-related business:
·
to sell transportation tickets on behalf of vendors;
·
to purchase transportation tickets on behalf of customers;
·
to arrange travel, accommodation, transportation and other travel
related services for customers;
·
to promote travel tours to domestic customers on behalf of other travel
agencies;
10
·
to design domestic travel plans;
·
to provide travel related consulting services; and
·
to operate any other travel related business permitted by the regulatory
body.
We
intend to apply for and operate as a type B travel agency. We have no plans to
operate as any other type of travel agency in Taiwan. These activities combined
allow us to market the global travel products referred to throughout the
prospectus.
A
summary of the legal requirements for the qualifications of management
personnel are listed below. Qualified persons are those who fulfill any one of
the following requirements:
1.
a college degree holder with a minimum of two years of experience as the
principal officer of another travel agency;
2.
a college degree holder with a minimum of three years of management
experience in the travel industry;
3.
a college degree holder with a minimum of four years of experience in
the travel industry or a minimum of six years of experience as a tour guide; or
4.
a minimum of ten years of experience working in the travel industry.
Both
our President and Chief Executive Officer have college degrees and extensive
experience in the travel industry (five years and fifteen years in management
positions, respectively), thus qualifying them for fulfilling the legal
requirements in holding management positions in a travel agency in Taiwan.
Risk Related To Our Capital
Stock
WE
ARE AN “EMERGING GROWTH COMPANY” AND ANY DECISION ON OUR PART TO COMPLY ONLY
WITH CERTAIN REDUCED DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE TO “EMERGING GROWTH
COMPANIES” COULD MAKE OUR COMMON STOCK LESS ATTRACTIVE TO INVESTORS.
We are an “emerging growth company,” as
defined in the Jumpstart Our Startup Businesses Act (the “JOBS Act”), and, for
as long as we continue to be an “emerging growth company,” we have elected to
take advantage of exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to
other public companies but not to “emerging growth companies,” including, but
not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation
requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced
disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports
and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a
nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of
any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We could be an “emerging
growth company” for up to five years or until the earliest of (i) the last day
of the first fiscal year in which our annual gross revenues exceed $1 billion,
(ii) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule
12b-2 under the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of our
common stock held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last
business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter, or (iii) the
date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt
during the preceding three year period.
In
addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an “emerging growth
company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in
Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”), for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words,
because we are an “emerging growth company,” we can delay the adoption of
certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to
private companies.
BECAUSE
WE HAVE ELECTED TO DEFER COMPLIANCE WITH NEW OR REVISED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS,
OUR FINANCIAL STATEMENT DISCLOSURE MAY NOT BE COMPARABLE TO SIMILAR COMPANIES.
11
We
have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or
revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act. This
allows us to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that
have different effective dates for public and private companies until those
standards apply to private companies. Because of this election, our financial
statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company
effective dates.
OUR STATUS AS AN “EMERGING GROWTH
COMPANY” UNDER THE JOBS ACT OF 2012 MAY MAKE IT MORE DIFFICULT TO RAISE
CAPITAL AS AND WHEN WE NEED IT.
Because
of the exemptions from various reporting requirements provided to us as an
“emerging growth company,” and because of the extended transition period
emerging growth companies are allowed for complying with new or revised
financial accounting standards, we may be less attractive to investors and it
may be difficult for us to raise additional capital as and when we need it.
Investors may be unable to compare our business with other companies in our
industry if they believe that our financial accounting is not as transparent as
other companies in our industry. If we are unable to raise additional capital
as and when we need it, our financial condition and results of operations may
be materially and adversely affected.
BECAUSE WE WERE A “SHELL COMPANY”
CERTAIN INVESTORS IN OUR COMPANY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO UTILIZE RULE 144 TO
SELL THEIR SHARES UNTIL AT LEAST ONE YEAR AFTER WE CEASE TO BE A SHELL COMPANY.
The
Shares issued to investors in the Company cannot be sold pursuant to Rule 144
promulgated under the Securities Act until one year after the Company ceases to
be a shell company. In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, a person
(or persons whose shares are aggregated) who has beneficially owned restricted
securities shares for at least six months, including persons who may be deemed
“affiliates” of the Company, as the term is defined under the
Securities
Act, would be entitled to sell within any three month period a number of shares
that does not exceed the greater of 1% of the then outstanding shares or the
average weekly trading volume of shares during the four calendar weeks
preceding such sale. Sales under Rule 144 are also subject to certain
manner-of-sale provisions, notice requirements and the availability of current
public information about the Company. A person who has not been an affiliate of
the Company at any time during the three months preceding a sale, and who has beneficially
owned his or her shares for at least one year, would be entitled under Rule 144
to sell such shares without regard to any volume limitations under Rule 144.
San
Lotus Holding Inc. was a shell company prior to filing this periodic report on
Form 8-K and therefore a majority of its shareholders may not currently utilize
Rule 144 to sell their shares. Rule 144 is not available for sales of shares of
companies that are or have been “shell companies” except under certain
conditions. The Company completed an acquisition and has removed its status as
a shell company by filing this report on Form 8-K. Shareholders are able to
utilize Rule 144 one year after the filing of this Form 8-K, assuming it files
the documents it is required to file as a reporting company. Investors in the
Company whose shares were registered in a registration statement will be able
to sell their shares pursuant to said registration statement.
OUR STOCK
HAS ONLY BEEN TRADED ON THE OVER-THE-COUNTER BULLETIN BOARD FOR A SHORT TIME,
THERE HAS ONLY BEEN LIMITED TRADING ACTIVITY AND THERE IS LIMITED HISTORY WITH
WHICH TO ESTIMATE FUTURE TRADING ACTIVITY IN OUR STOCK.
Although
the Company’s Common Stock is approved for trading on the Over-the-Counter
Bulletin Board, there has only been little trading activity in the stock.
Accordingly, there is no history on which to estimate the future trading price
range of the Common Stock. If the Common Stock trades below $5.00 per share,
trading in the Common Stock will be subject to the requirements of certain
rules promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the
“Exchange Act”), which require additional disclosure by broker-dealers in
connection with any trades involving a stock defined as a penny stock
(generally, any non-FINRA equity security that has a market share of less than
$5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions). Such rules require the
delivery, prior to any penny stock transaction, of a disclosure schedule
explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated therewith and
12
impose
various sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to
persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally
defined as an investor with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual
income exceeding $200,000 individually or $300,000 together with a spouse). For
these types of transactions, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability
determination for the purchaser and have received the purchaser’s written
consent to the transaction prior to the sale. The broker-dealer must disclose
the commissions payable to the broker-dealer, current bid and offer quotations
for the penny stock and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market-maker, the
broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer’s presumed control
over the market.
Such
information must be provided to the customer orally or in writing before or
with the written confirmation of trade sent to the customer. Monthly statements
must be sent disclosing recent additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers
by such requirements could discourage broker-dealers from effecting
transactions in the Common Stock which could severely limit the market
liquidity of the Common Stock and the ability of holders of the Common Stock to
sell it.
WE MAY NEVER PAY ANY DIVIDENDS TO
STOCKHOLDERS.
We
have never declared or paid any cash dividends or distributions on our capital
stock. We currently intend to retain our future earnings, if any, to support
operations and to finance expansion and, therefore, we do not anticipate paying
any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. The
declaration, payment and amount of any future dividends will be made at the
discretion of the board of directors and will depend upon, among other things,
the results of our operations, cash flows and financial condition, operating
and capital requirements, and other factors as the board of directors considers
relevant. There is no assurance that future dividends will be paid and, if
dividends are paid, there is no assurance with respect to the amount of any
such dividend.
BECAUSE
SOME OF OUR OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS LIVE OUTSIDE OF THE UNITED STATES, YOU MAY
HAVE NO EFFECTIVE RECOURSE AGAINST THEM FOR MISCONDUCT AND MAY NOT BE ABLE TO
ENFORCE JUDGMENTS AND CIVIL LIABILITIES AGAINST THEM. INVESTORS MAY NOT BE ABLE
TO RECEIVE COMPENSATION FOR DAMAGES TO THE VALUE OF THEIR INVESTMENT CAUSED BY
WRONGFUL ACTIONS BY OUR DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Some
of our officers and directors live outside the U.S. As a result, it may be
difficult for investors to enforce within the U.S. any judgments obtained
against those officers and directors, or obtain judgments against them outside
of the U.S. that are predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities
laws of the U.S. or any state thereof. Investors may not be able to receive
compensation for damages to the value of their investment caused by wrongful
actions by our directors and officers.
OUR
BYLAWS PROVIDE FOR INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS AT OUR EXPENSE AND
LIMIT THEIR LIABILITY WHICH MAY RESULT IN A MAJOR COST TO US AND HURT THE
INTERESTS OF OUR STOCKHOLDERS BECAUSE CORPORATE RESOURCES MAY BE EXPENDED FOR
THE BENEFIT OF OFFICERS AND/OR DIRECTORS.
Our
bylaws and applicable Nevada law provide for the indemnification of our
directors, officers, employees and agents, under certain circumstances, against
attorney’s fees and other expenses incurred by them in any litigation to which
they become a party arising from their association with or activities conducted
on our behalf. We will also bear the expenses of such litigation for any of our
directors, officers, employees or agents upon such person’s written promise to
repay us if it is ultimately determined that any such person shall not have
been entitled to indemnification. This indemnification policy could result in
substantial expenditures by us which we will be unable to recoup. At this time
we do not carry liability insurance for our officers and directors.
We
have been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, indemnification for
liabilities arising under federal securities laws is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and
is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification for
liabilities arising under federal securities laws, other than the payment by us
of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in
the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding, is asserted by a
director, officer or
13
controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, we will (unless in the opinion of our counsel, the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent) submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction, the question whether indemnification by us is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue. The legal process relating to this matter if it
were to occur is likely to be very costly and may result in us receiving
negative publicity, either of which factors is likely to materially reduce the
market and price for our shares, if such a market ever develops.
OUR
COMMON STOCK IS CONSIDERED A PENNY STOCK, WHICH MAY BE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS
ON MARKETABILITY, SO YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SELL YOUR SHARES.
We
are subject to the penny stock rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange
Commission that require brokers to provide extensive disclosure to their
customers prior to executing trades in penny stocks. These disclosure
requirements may cause a reduction in the trading activity of our common stock,
which in all likelihood would make it difficult for our stockholders to sell
their securities.
Penny
stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other
than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted
on the NASDAQ system). Penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a
transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a
standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny
stocks and the risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must
provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock,
the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction,
and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock
held in the customer’s account. The broker-dealer must also make a special
written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the
purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction.
These requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading
activity, if any, in the secondary market for a security that becomes subject
to the penny stock rules. The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by
such requirements may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in
our securities, which could severely limit the market price and liquidity of
our securities. These requirements may restrict the ability of broker-dealers
to sell our common stock and may affect your ability to resell our common
stock.
THERE IS NO ASSURANCE OF THE
DEVELOPMENT OF A PUBLIC MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK OR THAT OUR COMMON STOCK
WILL EVER TRADE ON A RECOGNIZED EXCHANGE. THEREFORE, YOU MAY BE UNABLE TO
LIQUIDATE YOUR INVESTMENT IN OUR STOCK.
There
is no established public trading market for our common stock. While our stock
is listed on the OTCBB, a market for our stock has yet to develop and there can
be no assurance that a regular trading market will develop or, if developed,
that such a market will be sustained. In the absence of a trading market,
investors may be unable to liquidate their investments.
IF
WE ARE DEEMED TO BE AN INVESTMENT COMPANY, WE MAY BE REQUIRED TO INSTITUTE
BURDENSOME COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS AND OUR ACTIVITIES MAY BE RESTRICTED, WHICH
MAY MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR US TO COMPLETE STRATEGIC ACQUISITIONS OR EFFECT
COMBINATIONS.
If
we are deemed an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940
(the “Investment Company Act”), our business would be subject to applicable
restrictions under that Act, which could make it impracticable for us to
continue our business as
14
contemplated.
We
believe our company is not an investment company due to the exemption under
Section 3(b)(1) of the Investment Company Act because we are primarily engaged
in a non-investment company business. We intend to conduct our operations so
that we will not be deemed an investment company. However, if we were to be
deemed an investment company, restrictions imposed by the Investment Company
Act , including limitations on our capital structure and our ability to
transact with affiliates, could make it impractical for us to continue our
business as contemplated.
ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED
STAFF COMMENTS
We received
comment letters from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) dated October 28, 2014, November 24, 2014, and December 18,
2014 regarding
our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 and Quarterly
Reports on Form 10-Q for Fiscal Quarter Ended June 30, 2014. These comments are unresolved as of March 7, 2016. However, we
have filed with the SEC responses to the comment letters and we are in the
process of responding to the third comment letter.
In general, the unresolved staff comments relate to (1) whether we should classify our land purchased in
2013 and 2014 as non-current assets on our balance sheets as of December
31, 2013 and the subsequent quarters ending in 2014; (2) what the historical
cost to the seller for each land purchase is and how to determine such
historical cost; (3) whether we should reflect the land purchase transactions
in 2013 and 2014 as non-cash on our cash flow statements as of December 31,
2013 and the subsequent quarters ending in 2014.
We believe that the ultimate resolution of these
comments is to revise our consolidated financial statements as of
December 31, 2013 and the subsequent quarters ending in 2014 by following SEC’s
further instructions. Also, we believe that such revision will have a material impact on the consolidated
financial statements and/or related notes.

37,273.68 SQUARE METERS OF
LAND IN DARONG SECTION, BEITUN DISTRICT OF TAICHUNG CITY, TAIWAN (R.O.C.).
We own 37,273.68 square meters of
undeveloped land (the “Land-1”) in the Darong Section, Beitun District of
Taichung City, Taiwan (R.O.C.). The transaction and all pertinent contracts in the
transaction are incorporated herein by reference to the Form 8-K filed on
September 20, 2013.
Qualified Ownership to the Land
Although we own the Land-1, the seller
of the Land-1, Chang, Cheng-Sung (the “Seller”), reserved certain rights to the
Land-1 according to the Land Purchase Contract dated March 26, 2012. Therefore,
to date, our ownership to the Land can be regarded as a qualified ownership (an
ownership with limitations or conditions).
The rights the Seller reserved in the Land
Purchase Contract are listed as follows:
1. The
Seller may set a maximum limited mortgage to the Land-1. (referred to Section 2
of the Contract)
2. The
Seller may decide whether Da Chuang Business Management Consultant Co., Ltd
(the “Purchaser”) may resell the Land-1 at a price not exceeding TWD
$60,000,000. And, once the Purchaser resells the Land-1, the Seller may be
entitled to an amount of TWD $60,000,000 of resale price.(referred to Section 3
of the Contract)
3. The
Seller may enforce his setting of maximum limited mortgage to Land-1 when one
of followings occurs(referred to Section 4 of the Contract):
a.
The Purchaser resells the Land-1 at a price not exceeding TWD$60,000,000
without the Seller’s consent, and/or
b.
The Purchaser fails to distribute the amount of TWD$60,000,000 to the
Seller when the Purchaser is obligated to do such distribution.
15
4. If
the Seller terminates the Contract and assigns to the Purchaser the shares
obtained in the Contract, the Seller may repossess the Land-1 and entire title
to the Land and may request the Purchaser to pay an amount of TWD$60,000,000.
(referred to Section 6 of the Contract)
5. The
Seller may refuse to cancel his registration of the maximum limited mortgage to
the Land-1 before the shares are released from escrow account. (referred to
Section 8 of the Contract)
To
date, the Seller has not canceled his registration of maximum limited mortgage
to the Land-1. There can be no assurance that our qualified ownership to the
Land would become an ownership absent of any rights reserved by the Seller in
the Contract.
Land Description
The
Land-1 consists of three parcels of land, zoned as a “scenic spot” in a
sparsely populated area on the immediate outskirts of Taichung City. The Land’s
immediate surroundings consist of agricultural and forested areas. We have not
yet determined our specific use for the Land-1, although we either intend to
use it to develop scenic/tourist-related real estate or hold it for later sale
when we need to raise funds.
76,435 SQUARE METERS OF LAND IN Miaoli County, Taiwan (R.O.C.), TAIWAN
(R.O.C.).
We
own 35,251 square meters of land in Dataoping
Section of Zaoqiao Township, Miaoli County, Taiwan (R.O.C.) and 41,184 square
meters of land in Laotianliao Section of Touwu Township, Miaoli County, Taiwan
(R.O.C.), all of which is 76,435 square meters (the "Land"). The
transaction and all pertinent contracts in the transaction were disclosed in
the Form 8-K filed on April 3, 2015.
Land Description
The Land consists of 18 lots, totaling 76,435 square
meters, in the Dataoping Section of Zaoqiao Township and Laotianliao Section of
Touwu Township, Miliaoli County, Taiwan (R.O.C.). The lots numbered as 86-1;
86-3; 90; and 421-1in Land are zoned as "agricultural region," and
are located in a sparsely populated region. By law, the entire title to such
lots cannot be transferred to Green Forest until Green Forest obtains a license
of agricultural enterprises.To date, Green Forest has not owned the entire title
to the lots numbered as 86-1; 86-3; 90; and 421-1 because Green Forest has not
been licensed as an agricultural enterprise. All lots in Land other than the
lots numbered as 86-1; 86-3; 90; and 421-1 are zoned as respectively
"traffic region;" "forest region;" and "water resource
region."
ITEM 3. LEGAL
PROCEEDINGS
Our
management knows of no material existing or pending legal proceeding,
litigation or claim against us, nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any
material existing legal proceeding or pending legal proceeding, litigation or
claim.
Yu,
Chien-Yang, our vice president and a member of our board of directors, was
indicted by the Taichung District Prosecutor’s Office of Taichung County,
Taiwan (R.O.C.) on May 17, 2013. The indictment in no way involves San Lotus
Holding Inc. or any of our subsidiaries and the matters described therein do
not include any conduct involving, by, or on behalf of the Company or any of
our subsidiaries.
The enforcement actions were brought
against seven individuals, including Mr. Yu, alleging violations of Taiwan’s
banking and securities laws in connection with disclosure issues related to a
single corporate bond issuance. The action predates Mr. Yu’s employment with
the Company and is in connection with Mr. Yu’s service at another company, Da
Chuang Business Management Consultant Co., Ltd. and its subsidiary, Da Ren
International Investments Inc., which had conducted a general solicitation of
its corporate bonds to the general public in the year 2010. We do not expect this
litigation to have a material effect on our business.

Our common stock, par value $1, has traded on the

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The
following discussion and analysis of the results of operations and financial
condition of San Lotus Holding Inc. (“San Lotus” or the “Company”) should be
read in conjunction with our financial statements that are included elsewhere
in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. References in this
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations or Plan of Operations to “us,” “we,” “our” and similar terms refer
to the Company. This discussion includes forward-looking statements based upon
current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as plans,
objectives, expectations and intentions. Actual results and the timing of
events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking
statements. Words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “continuing,”
“ongoing,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could” and
similar expressions are used to identify forward-looking statements.
PLAN OF OPERATIONS
San
Lotus Holding Inc. was incorporated in the State of Nevada on June 21, 2011 to
market travel products and services to the growing “baby boomer” market, with
an initial focus on the Asian market. Our business plan for the next twelve
months includes the following anticipated milestones:
1.
Developing Travel Agency in Taiwan-September 1, 2013- throughout
the life of Company
Our
plan of developing our travel agency in Taiwan includes: seeking to be (1)
approved by Taiwan government to operate travel agency in Taiwan and (2)
meeting the statutory requirements related to capital requirements, statutory
reserves and employing fit, proper and qualified management. We anticipate that
we may obtain the approval from Taiwan government by the end of 2016.The total
cost we have incurred and/or anticipated to engage such development is listed
as “set-up cost” and “operating expenses” in page 2. Developing travel agency
in Taiwan is an ongoing effort that will continue during the life of the Company.
To facilitate our developing efforts, we are actively seeking additional
funding on favorable terms to continue our development in Taiwan.
If additional funding is not available
on acceptable terms, we may not be able to implement our development in Taiwan
and continue our operations. We plan to be funded by private placement of our
equity securities and/or mortgage our land. But, there can be no assurance we
will be funded as such. Thus, there can be no assurance we will successfully
develop travel agency in Taiwan.
2.
Acquisition of additional Travel Agencies -January 18, 2013- throughout
the life of Company
We
have entered into non-binding letters of intent to acquire the following travel
agencies and expect to complete the acquisitions by the end of 2016:
Company
|
Location
|
USA XO Tours Inc.
|
|
Rosemead, CA
|
XO Tours Canada Ltd.
|
Vancouver, BC, Canada
|

|

|
Hanoi, Vietnam
|
Tourmaster Travel Service Inc.
|

|
Vietlink International Travel (HK)
Ltd.
|
Hong Kong
|
As
a general note, we expect the travel agencies will be able to continue to operate
as they have been, although we will integrate them into San Lotus by utilizing
a comprehensive accounting system and assisting them in their further
development. Although the non-binding letters of intent to acquire the travel
agencies above were entered, we remain in the preliminary discussion with them
about the specific considerations to acquire each of them. Thus, to date, we
are not able to estimate any specific costs in completing such acquisitions.
19
Acquiring
travel agencies located both within and outside of Taiwan is an ongoing effort
that will continue during the life of the Company. To facilitate our
acquisition efforts, we will actively seeking additional funding on favorable
terms to continue our acquisition. If additional funding is not available on
acceptable terms, we may not be able to implement our acquisition plan and
continue our operations. We plan to be funded by private placement of our
equity securities and/or mortgage our land. But, there can be no assurance we
will be funded as such. Thus, there can be no assurance we will successfully
complete our acquisition of travel agencies.
3.
Acquisition of additional land or land holding companies-Third
quarter of 2013- throughout the life of Company
San
Lotus was a shell corporation until our wholly-owned subsidiary, Green Forest
Management Consulting Inc. (“Green Forest”) acquired Da Ren International
Development Inc., a Taiwan (R.O.C.) land holding corporation (“Da Ren”), on
September 17, 2013. Da Ren’s sole asset is 32,273.68 square meters of land
located in Taichung City, Beitun District, Taiwan (R.O.C.). We acquired Da Ren
for $3,070,645. The transaction and all pertinent contracts in the transaction
were disclosed in the current report on Form-8-K filed on September 20, 2013. With
the acquisition of Da Ren, we are not only developing our travel agency in
Taiwan, an ongoing process in our development, but also acquiring land and land
holding companies, as well as acquiring travel agencies located both within and
outside of Taiwan.
On March 31, 2015, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Green
Forest acquired Mao Ren International Inc., a Taiwan (R.O.C.) land holding corporation ("Mao Ren"). We acquired Mao Ren for $1. The transaction and all pertinent
contracts in the transaction were disclosed in the current report on Form-8-K
filed on April 2, 2015. On March 31, 2015, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Green
Forest acquired from Yu, Chien-Yang to the 35,251 square meters of land
in Dataoping Section of Zaoqiao Township, Miaoli County, Taiwan (R.O.C.) and
41,184 square meters of land in Laotianliao Section of Touwu Township, Miaoli
County, Taiwan (R.O.C.), all of which is 76,435 square meters. The
transaction and all pertinent contracts in the transaction were disclosed in the
current report on Form-8-K filed on April 3, 2015.
In
addition to our acquisition of Da Ren and Mao Ren, we have entered into letters
of intent to acquire the following land and land holding companies in Taiwan
and China. We expect to complete these acquisitions by the end of 2016.

We do not feel we are able to evaluate
the land holdings accurately or make definitive plans for how to utilize the
land and land holding companies until we can evaluate the properties as a
whole. But, to date, we plan to use the land as follows: (1) dispose of the
land for cash to develop other properties, (2) mortgage the land so that we may
develop it ourselves, (3) enter into a joint venture with another developer or
(4) use the land to capitalize other companies. We will evaluate this further
once we complete the above listed acquisitions.
Except
for the completed acquisitions of Da Ren, Mao Ren, and the land in Miaoli County, Taiwan (R.O.C.),
we remain in the preliminary discussion about the specific consideration in
acquiring other land or land holding companies. Thus, to date, we are not able
to estimate any specific costs in completing the acquisitions other than the
completed acquisitions. Acquiring land and/or land holding companies is an
ongoing effort that will continue during the life of the Company. To facilitate
our acquisition efforts, we will be actively seeking additional funding on
favorable terms to continue our acquisition. If additional funding is not
available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to implement our acquisition
plan and continue our operations. We plan to be funded by private placement of
our equity securities and/or obtaining the loan by mortgage our land. But,
there can be no assurance we will be funded as such. Thus, there can be no
assurance we will successfully complete our acquisition of the land or land
holding companies.
20
Results
of Operations
For the period ended December 31,
2015, we had
no revenue. Operating Expenses for the period ended December 31, 2015, totaled $596,324.
Capital Resources and Liquidity
Excluding
our planned acquisitions, we expect the running of San Lotus Holding Inc.,
Green Forest Management Consulting Inc., Da Ren International Development Inc.,
and Mao Ren to require approximately $210,000 to carry out planned operations
for the next 12 months. This includes as follows:
We expect our monthly expenses to continue at the rate of $17,500
after December 31, 2015, not including the costs we will incur in running any
of our planned acquisitions or embarking on any real estate development
activities. To meet our needs for cash required for sustain our businesses and
completing our planned acquisitions, we will need to generate sufficient
revenues or require additional funding.
As
of December 31, 2015, we had $136,125 cash in the bank, $406 cash held by
our wholly-owned Taiwan (R.O.C.) subsidiary, Green Forest Management Consulting
Inc., $28 cash held by our wholly-owned Taiwan (R.O.C.) subsidiary, Da Ren
International Development Inc., $3,676 cash held by our wholly-owned Taiwan
(R.O.C.) subsidiary, Mao Ren International Inc., and $0 cash held by our
wholly-owned California subsidiary, XO Experience Inc. We will likely have to
borrow funds from our President and Chairman, Chen Li-Hsing, to sustain our
operations until we are able to complete a private placement of our equity
securities and/or mortgage our land.
As
to our planned acquisitions, although the non-binding letters of intent to
acquire the travel agencies were entered, we remain in the preliminary
discussion with them about the specific considerations to acquire each of them.
Thus, to date, we are not able to estimate any specific costs in completing
such acquisitions. Additionally, except for the completed acquisitions of Da
Ren International Development Inc., Mao Ren International Inc., and the land in Miaoli County, Taiwan (R.O.C.), we remain in the preliminary discussion
about the specific consideration in acquiring other land or land holding
companies. Thus, to date, we are not able to estimate any specific costs in
completing the acquisitions other than the completed acquisitions.
If
we require additional funding to complete our planned acquisitions, we will
actively seeking additional funding by completing a private placement of our
equity securities and/or mortgage our land. But, there can be no assurance we
will be funded as such. And, there can be no assurance that our existing
shareholders will provide us with additional capital. Finally, if we are
21
unable
to generate sufficient revenue and/or obtain additional funding, we may have to
cease operations entirely. We cannot guarantee that our operations and proceeds
from any funding will be sufficient for us to continue as going concern.
Revenue targets
The Company anticipates no revenues be made in the early
stages of completing our plan of operations.
Core services
The Company is incorporated to market its travel products and
services to the growing “baby boomer” market, with an initial focus on the
Asian market, which is herein incorporated by reference to Item 1 of this
annual report on Form 10K.
We anticipate that depending on
market conditions and our plan of operations, we may incur operating losses in
the foreseeable future. Our liquidity may be negatively impacted by the
significant costs associated with our public company reporting requirements,
costs associated with newly applicable corporate governance requirements,
including requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and other rules
implemented by the Securities and Exchange Commission. We expect all of these
applicable rules and regulations to significantly increase our legal and
financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time consuming and
costly.
Based upon the above, we believe
that to continue our daily operation and implement our plan of
operations, we will actively seeking additional funding on favorable terms. If
additional funding is not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to
implement our operation plans and continue our operations. We plan to be funded
by private placement of our equity securities and/or obtaining the loan by
mortgage our land. But, there can be no assurance we will be funded as such.
Thus, there can be no assurance we
22
will successfully continue our operation
and/or complete our plan of operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet
arrangements.
Going Concern
At
present, we have no enough cash to pay for our selling, general and administrative
expenses. As such, in order to continue developing our operations as planned,
we may be reliant on obtaining additional funding by private placement of our
equity securities and/or obtaining the loan by mortgage our land. But, there
can be no assurance we will be funded as such. Thus, there can be no assurance
we will successfully continue our operation and/or complete our plan of operations. Based on these assumptions, our auditor has
expressed doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
OUTLOOK
By
the end of 2015, in addition to the planned acquisitions listed in this Item, we
intend to complete more acquisitions of lands; land holding companies; and/or
travel agencies. We remain in the preliminary discussion with the acquired
parties about the specific considerations in such acquisitions. Thus, to date,
we are not able to estimate any specific costs in completing such acquisitions.
Once
we have completed such acquisitions, we will evaluate our land holdings as a
group and develop an overall plan for how to proceed going forward.
At that time, and once we determine
more definitively how the land will be utilized, we will develop cost
projections, milestones and plans for financing the land’s development. At
present, we anticipate that we will have the following four development
objectives for the properties: (1) dispose of the land for cash, (2) mortgage
the land to develop it ourselves, or (3) use the land to enter into a joint
venture with another developer or (4) use the land to capitalize other
companies.
Critical Accounting Policies
It
is our goal to clearly present our financial information in a manner that
enhances the understanding of our sources of earnings and cash flows, as well
as our financial condition. We do this by including the information required by
the SEC, as well as providing additional information that gives further insight
into our financial operations.
Our financial report includes a
discussion of our accounting principles, as well as methods and estimates used
in the preparation of our financial statements.
We
believe these discussions and statements fairly represent the financial position
and operating results of our company. The purpose of this portion of our
discussion is to further emphasize some of the more critical areas where a
significant change in facts and circumstances in our operating and financial
environment could cause a change in future reported financial results.
Impact of Accounting Pronouncements
There were no recent accounting
pronouncements that have had a material effect on our financial position or
results of operations.
Recently Issued Accounting Policies
We
have implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These
pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements
unless otherwise disclosed and we do not believe that there are any
23
other new
accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material
impact on our financial position or results of operations.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE
AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We do not take positions or engage in
transactions in risk-sensitive market instruments in any substantial degree,
nor as defined by SEC rules and instructions. Based on the nature of our
current operations, we have not identified any issues of market risk at this
time.
ITEM 8. FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
The information
to be reported under this item is submitted in a separate section of this
report. See Index to Consolidated Financial Statements on Page F-1.
ITEM
9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL
DISCLOSURE
None.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS
AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure
controls and procedures are controls and procedures that are designed to ensure
that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) are recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules
and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation,
controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be
disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange
Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief
executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow for
timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating
our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls
and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only
reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and
management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating and implementing
possible controls and procedures.
Management
conducted its evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures under the
supervision of our chief executive officer. Based on that evaluation, our
chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our
disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2013
due to material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting
which is described below.
Management
identified significant deficiencies related to (i) the lack of U.S. GAAP
expertise of our chief financial officer, (ii) the lack of U.S. GAAP expertise
of our internal accounting staff, and (iii) the company’s failure to have a
board of directors consisting of a majority of independent directors and our
lack of a director who qualifies as an audit committee financial expert as
defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K. We will be addressing these
weaknesses in the near term as the Company develops.
Changes in Internal Controls.
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial
reporting during the period covered by this report that have materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control
over financial reporting.
ITEM 9B. OTHER
INFORMATION
None.

SAN LOTUS HOLDING INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2015
NOTE 1 NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Operations
San Lotus Holding Inc.(the “Company” or “San Lotus”), was incorporated on June 21, 2011 in the State of Nevada and changed our state of incorporation from the
State of Nevada to the State of California (the "Conversion") on July
21, 2015.
The Company is in the initial stages of opening a travel
agency in Taiwan through its wholly owned subsidiary, Green Forest Management
Consulting Inc., a Taiwan company. The Company has not conducted business
operations nor had revenues from operations since its inception. The Company’s
business plan is to desig and market global travel packages and affinity travel
excursions through out the world, and develop a global travel and leisure
agency business.
The Company, through its recent acquisition, is engaged
in the provision of travel services, including hotel reservation services,
airline ticketing, and travel package in the United States.
The Company’s year-end is December 31.
Basis of presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the
Company have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
Consolidation Policy
The consolidated financial statements of the Company
include the accounts of San Lotus Holding, Inc. and its subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.
Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements were
prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the realization of assets and
discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company had an accumulated
deficit of $934,578 as of December 31, 2015.
The Company faces all the risks common to companies at
the development stage, including capitalization and uncertainty of funding
sources, high initial expenditure levels, uncertain revenue streams and
difficulties in managing growth. The Company's losses raise substantial doubt
about its ability to continue as a going concern. The Company's consolidated
financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result from the
outcome of this uncertainty.
The Company is currently addressing its liquidity issue
by continually seeking investment capital through private placements of common
stock and debt. The Company believes its current and future plans enable it to
continue as a going concern. The Company's ability to achieve these objectives
cannot be determined at this time. These consolidated financial statements do
not give effect to any adjustments which would be necessary should the Company
be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore be required to realize
its assets and discharge its liabilities other than the normal course of
business and at amounts which may differ from those in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with U.S. GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
F-5
42
Revenue recognition
The Company’s revenues are principally derived from
providing hotel reservation, air ticketing, other travel and non-travel
services. The Company recognizes revenues when all of the following have
occurred: persuasive evidence of arrangement with the customer, services have
been performed, fees are fixed or determinable and collectability of the fees
is reasonably assured, as prescribed by ASC 605-10, Revenue
Recognition, Overall. These criteria as related to revenues are considered
to have been met as follows:
Packaged-tour: The Company receives referral fees from travel product providers for
packaged -tour products and services through its service platform and branch
offices. Referral fees are recognized as commissions on a net basis after the
packaged-tour service are rendered and collections are reasonably assured .
In case s where these entities undertake the majority of
the business risks and acts as principal related to the travel tour services
provided, revenues are recognized at gross amounts received from customers
after the services are rendered. Loss due to obligations from cancelled travel
services of such principal arrangement is minimal in the past.
Air ticketing services: Commissions from air ticketing services rendered are
recognized upon the issuance of air tickets, net of estimated cancellations.
Customers purchase the air tickets, and the Company remits the net amount less
base commission to the airlines. Estimated cancellations were insignificant for
the years ended December 31, 2015. The Company presents revenues from such
transactions on a net basis in the consolidated statements of comprehensive
income (loss), as the Company acts as an agent, does not assume any inventory
risk, and has no obligations for cancelled airline ticket reservations. The
Company sometimes also receives additional discretionary commissions from
certain airlines when performance targets are met. Such discretionary
commissions are recognized on a cash basis because the Company cannot
reasonably estimate the amount, or timing of receipt, of such commissions in
advance.
Other travel services: Other travel services are mainly commissions from
insurance companies for the sale of travel insurance. Customers purchase the
travel insurance, and the Company remits the net amount less commission to the
insurance companies. The Company recognizes revenue when the travel insurance
is issued to the customer, net of estimated cancellations.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash and all highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures
for maintenance and repairs are charged to earnings as incurred; additions, renewals and betterments are capitalized. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided using the straight-line method for substantially all assets with estimated lives as
follows:

Net Income (Loss) Per Share
The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 260-10, Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260-10”), which specifies the computation, presentation and disclosure requirements of earnings per share information. Basic earnings per share have been calculated based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Common equivalent shares are excluded from the computation of the diluted loss per share if their effect would be anti-dilutive. For the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company did not have any common equivalent shares.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 360-10, Property, Plant and Equipment (“ASC 360-10”). ASC 360-10 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by the Company be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company evaluates its long lived assets for impairment annually or more often if
events and circumstances warrant. Events relating to recoverability may include significant unfavorable changes in business conditions, recurring losses, or a
forecasted inability to achieve break-even operating results over an extended period. The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets based upon forecasted undiscounted cash flows. Should impairment in value be indicated, the carrying value of intangible assets will be adjusted, based on estimates of
future discounted cash flows resulting from the use and ultimate disposition of the asset. ASC 360-10 also requires assets to be disposed of be reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell. Management has determined that no impairments of long-lived assets currently exist.
Goodwill
and intangible assets
Goodwill
represents the excess of costs over fair value of the net assets of businesses
acquired. The Company follows ASC subtopic 350-20, Intangibles-Goodwill
and Other: Goodwill. Goodwill and intangible assets acquired in a business
combination and determined to have an indefinite useful life are not amortized,
but instead tested for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if
certain circumstances indicate a possible impairment may exist. The Company
performs its annual impairment assessment for goodwill and indefinite-lived
intangible assets in December of each year.
The
Company adopted ASU 2012-02, Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets
for Impairment, which amends the guidance in ASC subtopic 350-30 on testing
indefinite-lived intangible assets, other than goodwill, for impairment. ASU
2012-02 provides an entity testing an indefinite-lived intangible asset for
impairment the option of performing a qualitative assessment before calculating
the fair value of the asset. Although ASU 2012-02 revises the examples of
events and circumstances that an entity should consider in interim periods, it
does not revise the requirements to test indefinite-lived intangible assets (1)
annually for impairment and (2) between annual tests if there is a change in
events or circumstances. If the Company determines, on the basis of qualitative
factors, that the fair value of indefinite-lived intangible assets is more
likely than not less than the carrying amount, further testing is required.
Under the further testing, the impairment test on indefinite-lived intangible
assets that are not subject to amortization consists of a comparison of the
fair value of each intangible asset with its carrying amount. If the carrying
amount of an intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is
recognized in an amount equal to that excess. Assets with definite lives are
carried at cost less accumulated amortization. Intangible assets with definite
lives are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated economic
life.
Income Taxes
The company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes, which requires that the Company recognize deferred tax liabilities and
assets based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect in the years the differences are expected to reverse.Deferred income tax benefit (expense) results from the change in net deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities.
A valuation allowance is recorded when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some or all of any deferred tax assets will not be realized.
Concentration
of Credit Risk
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit
risk are cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables, prepaid expenses,
accounts payable and accruals, due to/from related party and shareholder
accounts arising from its normal business activities.
The
Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with major financial institutions.
In addition, the due to/from affiliated companies is under common control.
Management considers the risk of non-performance of these instruments to be
remote.
F-7
44
The
Company has a diversified customer-base. The Company controls credit risk
related to accounts receivables through merchant credit card approvals, credit
limits and monitoring procedures. The Company routinely assesses the financial
strength of its customers and, based upon factors surrounding the credit risk,
establishes an allowance, if required, for uncollectible accounts and, believes
that its accounts receivable related credit risk exposure beyond such allowance
is limited. Based on the historical experience, Management considers the that
it is low risk of non-performance of this instruments.
The Company’s business is subject
to certain risks and concentrations including risks relating to the condition
of the economy, outbreak of disease or the occurrence of natural or man-made
disasters, dependence on relationships with travel suppliers, primarily hotels
and airlines, dependence on third-party technology, internet service, utility
services and telecommunications providers, exposure to risks associated with
online commerce security, data privacy, online payment and credit card fraud.
Foreign Currency Translation Adjustment
The Company’s financial statements are presented in the
U.S. dollar ($), which is the Company’s reporting currency, while its
functional currency is New Taiwan Dollar (NTD). Transactions in foreign
currencies are initially recorded at the functional currency rate prevailing at
the date of transaction. Any differences between the initially recorded amount
and the settlement amount are recorded as a gain or loss on foreign currency
transaction in the statements of operations. Monetary assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currency are translated at the functional currency rate
of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date. Any differences are taken to
profit or loss as a gain or loss on foreign currency translation in the
statements of operations.
In accordance with ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters,
the Company translates the assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars using the
rate of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date and the statements of
operations and cash flows are translated at an average rate during the
reporting period. Adjustments resulting from the translation from RMB into U.S.
dollar are recorded in stockholders’ equity as part of accumulated other
comprehensive income. The exchange rates used for financial statements in
accordance with ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters, are as follows:

Statement of Cash Flows
Cash flows from the Company's operations are based upon the local currencies. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet.
Advertising
expense
The
Company incurs advertising expenses to promote the Company’s products and
services. The Company expenses the production costs associated with
advertisements in the period in which the advertisement first takes place. The
Group expenses the advertising costs as incurred each time the advertisement is
displayed or broadcasted. For the years ended December 31, 2015,
advertising expenses were $71,656 and were recorded as operating expenses.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In
September 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2015-16, “Business
Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period
Adjustments” (“ASU 2015-16”), which requires that an acquirer recognize
adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement
period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined.
ASU 2015-16 is effective for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods within
those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company is currently
evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on the Consolidated
Financial Statements.
F-8
45
In
May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.
The standard provides companies with a single model for use in accounting for
revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes current revenue
recognition guidance, including industry-specific revenue guidance. The core
principle of the model is to recognize revenue when control of the goods or
services transfers to the customer, as opposed to recognizing revenue when the
risks and rewards transfer to the customer under the existing revenue guidance.
On July 9, 2015, FASB voted to defer the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one
year. The guidance would be effective for annual and interim reporting periods
beginning after December 15, 2018 and early adoption is permitted. We are
currently assessing the impact that adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on our
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 6 LONG-TERM RECEIVABLES
The Company entered
into several collateral transfer agreements with the creditors in February 2010
to assign the right of debt, which was collateralized by the land. In 2011,
Taiwan Taichung District Court has ordered the pay warrants to request debtor pay
the Company in the amount of NT$5,851,967,413. Pursuant to the agreement, the
creditors agreed with the Company to enforce and execute the auction by the
court or itself against the debtor’s remaining assets. In the return, the
Company is being compensated by the creditors to use the proceeds from the sale
of collateralized land to reinvest or develop the collateralized land to
construct the real estate and then sell. There is no timeline to pay off the
long-term payable and it’s probable to pay off the debt in exchange of
investments of San Lotus Holding Inc.
The Company has
hired the independent appraiser to evaluate the fair value of collateralized
land and recorded the long-term receivable based on the net realized value of
the collaterals.
As of December 31,
2015 and 2014, the Company has the other receivable in the amount of
$26,300,509 and $27,382,074, respectively.
