PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS.

Organizational History

On July 25, 2017, we entered into a share exchange agreement with e-Marine and the stockholders of e-Marine (the “e-Marine Stockholders”), pursuant to which the e-Marine Stockholders assigned, transferred and delivered, free and clear of all liens, 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of e-Marine, representing 100% of the equity interest in e-Marine to the Company in exchange for 14,975,000 restricted shares of common stock (the “Share Exchange”) of the Company. As a result, e-Marine became our wholly-owned subsidiary, and the e-Marine Stockholders acquired a controlling interest in the Company.

At the time of the Share Exchange, we were engaged in the online games business by acquiring gaming licenses in order to make them commercially available abroad. As a result of the acquisition of all the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of e-Marine, we have now assumed e-Marine’s business operations as our own. The acquisition of e-Marine is treated as a reverse acquisition, and the business of e-Marine became the business of the Company.

e-Marine Co., Ltd. was organized under the laws of the Republic of Korea on January 2, 2001, and is a maritime information and communications technology provider based in South Korea. e-Marine seeks to achieve safety of life at sea through the use of various technologies, such as e-Navigation, Maritime Internet-of-Things and marine big data technology (collectively, “Maritime ICT Convergence”). e-Marine’s main products and services are divided into four categories: (1) Electronic Chart Display & Information System; (2) Smart Ship; (3) Overseas Solutions Distributions; and (4) Aids to Navigation.

On August 15, 2017, we entered into an agreement and plan of (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which we merged with and into our newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary (the “Merger Sub” and, the transaction, the “Merger”).

As permitted by Chapter 92A.180 of Nevada Revised Statutes, the purpose of the Merger was to effect a change of the Company’s name from “Pollex, Inc.” to “eMARINE Global Inc.” Upon the filing of articles of merger with the Secretary of State of Nevada on August 15, 2017 in order to effect the Merger, the Company’s articles of incorporation were deemed amended to reflect the change in the Company’s corporate name. Upon consummation of the Merger, the separate existence of Merger Sub ceased.

Our principal execute offices are located at 4th Floor, 15-14, Samsan-ro 308beon-gil, Nam-gu, Ulsan, 44715 South Korea.

Overview of Business

We are a leading provider of information and communications technology for the maritime industry. We provide solutions for the collection, integration and display of maritime information abroad and ashore by electronic means to enhance berth-to-berth navigation and related services. We believe that these solutions provide the most efficient means to secure the safety of life at sea and to protect the marine environment. We offer all of our products and services through subscription, installation, updates and/or maintenance contracts.

Our Products & Solutions

We offer onboard and onshore products and solutions to customers operating within the maritime and shipbuilding industries through our two business divisions: (i) our maritime information and communications technology (“Maritime ICT”) division and (ii) our shipbuilding information and communications (“Shipbuilding ICT”) division.

We focus our business on four main hardware and software products: (i) Electronic Chart Display & Information System (“ECDIS”); (ii) Smart Ship solutions; (iii) distribution of overseas solutions; and (iv) Aids to Navigation management solutions.

Electronic Chart Display and Information Systems

We offer e-Navigator, our branded electronic chart display and information system (“ECDIS”), which is a computer-based navigation system that complies with International Maritime Organization (“IMO”) regulations and can be used as an alternative to paper navigation charters. Integrating a variety of real-time information, it is an automated decision aid capable of continuously determining a vessel’s position in related to land, charted objects, navigation aids and unseen hazards, which is key in helping operators monitor and plan routes. An ECDIS includes electronic navigation charts (“ENC”), which we also offer, and integrates position information from the global positioning system (“GPS”) and other navigational sensors, such as radar, fathometer and automatic identification systems. It can also provide additional navigation-related information, such as sailing directions. Only the hardware is regulated by the IMO, while the software is subject to patents. We have obtained ECDIS software and South Korean patents for ECDIS technology.

Smart Ship Solutions

Our Smart Ship technology is the result of our partnership with Hyundai Heavy Industries (“HHI”) and much of it has been implemented on HHI’s newly-built ships. These systems use the marine Internet of Things (“I.o.T.”) and big data technologies to provide solutions such as the Intra-Ship Integrated Gateway (“ISIG”), an intra-ship network that promotes greater communication amongst a fleet while at sea; the Collision Avoidance and Optimal Voyage Systems, both dedicated to helping mariners determine the best routes and avoid incidents at sea; and the Remote Maintenance and Engine Monitoring Systems, which similarly promote crews’ safety by ensuring that vessels are kept in shipshape condition. Through the further development of our Smart Ship solutions, we believe will make greater in-roads into the autonomous ship and unmanned ship markets.

Smart Ship solutions are navigation oriented hardware and software that are developed by utilizing maritime I.o.T and big data technology. We develop Smart Ship technology under the partnership with HHI. This partnership has resulted in the development of a number of Smart Ship solutions that we supplied to HHI’s newly-built ships. By applying marine I.o.T. and big data technologies, we believe we will continue to expand the development of Smart Ship solutions, by gradually entering the autonomous ship and unmanned ship market. Some of our current Smart Ship Solutions include the following:

Overseas Solutions Distribution

We have agreements with a number of maritime products manufacturers. We have an exclusive agreement with Teledyne Technologies International Corp for the distribution of CARIS, maritime GIS software. We distribute digital charts from C-Map, The United Kingdom Hydrographic Office and the Korea Hydrography and Research Association. In 2017, we began providing services related to a maritime-training simulator for the Republic of Korea Navy in cooperation with ECA-Sindel. We also are the exclusive distributor of Hatteland’s maritime-specialized hardware.

Aids to Navigation Management Systems

We implement Aids to Navigation (“AtoN”) management systems for public maritime agencies. AtoN systems include sensors that are attached to navigational aids at sea and management software installed at the ground control level for information collection, display and analysis. Our AtoN System consists of the (i) Maritime Weather Signals Total Management System and the (ii) e-A2N device.

The Maritime Weather Signals Total Management System is a technology that collects weather information that is then transmitted to all major ports and maritime offices for public and civic use. It collects weather signals in various formats, including AIS, CDMA and TRS, and then simultaneously displays such information as tidal height, wind directivity, wind speed and sea temperature. We have implemented over a dozen maritime information systems in major port cities such as Busan, Incheon and Ulsan. In 2017, we implemented our Total Management System, which compiles all maritime weather information and delivers it through one central center, at the National Maritime Positioning, Navigation, and Timing Office. We believe that once the IMO begins its e-Navigation initiative, the Total AtoN Management System will be a part of the Total Maritime Traffic System.

Our e-A2N device detects technical malfunctions and sends real-time data such as battery status and weather conditions to ground control, bringing attention to ship components in need of maintenance. We believe that our e-A2N device results in cost reduction and unnecessary manpower while also benefiting users, such as crew members, passengers, pilots and seaferers, by providing access to weather information via port dashboards and smart applications. To date, we have installed e-A2N devices in over 4,000 navigational aids throughout Korea.

Key Factors of Our Business Model

We cover every aspect of the ENC technology within our e-Navigator from manufacturing, modification, personalization, distribution and maintenance. We offer our customers our e-Navigator ECDIS and ENC separately or as a package, which we believe provides us with a cost competitive edge, as well as seamless integration and on-going maintenance.

We have developed our e-Navigator and our ECN products in an effort to offer our customers what we believe to be the best product possible in the market. Currently, we hold approximately 90% of the market of private ships through our government contracts with the Republic of Korea (“R.O.K”) Navy and Coast Guard, and we hold approximately 60% of the public sector market share. The rest of the market is held by other domestic and foreign competitors, including Japan Radio Co., Ltd., Furuno Electric Co., Ltd. and Martin Electric Co., Ltd. We have been the market leader of ECDIS in Korea, consistently supplying and operating maintenance service for the Republic of Korea Navy, the Coast Guard and other public and commercial ships. We continuously provide ECDIS maintenance services to an average of 200 navy vessels annually, with contracts renewed every one to two years.

In September 2018, we won a contract from the R.O.K. Navy to provide maintenance services to navy ships through fiscal year 2020. This marks the 9^thconsecutive year in which we have won such contracts.

We are a Smart Ship solutions development partner of Hyundai Heavy Industries. We supply ISIG, Optimal Navigation System and Engine Status Monitoring System to Hyundai Heavy Industries and anticipate supplying subsequent Smart Ship products to Hyundai Heavy Industries and other shipbuilders in South Korea such as Hanjin Heavy Industries and Samsung Heavy Industries.

Industry Overview and Market Opportunity

Global Maritime Industry and Market

The global maritime industry and related markets suffered as a result of a decrease in demand for global shipping and a decrease in investment, which in turn has resulted in a reduction of the number of newly-built ships. This regression lasted until early 2017, which was the lowest point of the industry’s economic cycle. As a result, the Company’s largest customer, Hyundai Heavy Industries, decreased its shipbuilding production and therefore resulted in a decrease of the Company’s Ship Solutions output for Hyundai’s new ships. Further, as a result of this regression in the industry, many market participants concentrated on maintaining old ships with existing navigation solutions, causing a decrease in new navigation solutions during that time period. The global maritime economy has gained steam while international oil price is in a steady state. Shipbuilder’s order intakes are likely to see upturn consistently. According to industry experts, global shipbuilding market condition is expected to show expediential curve by representing significant improvements after getting better slowly over the next two-three years. From the analysis of Korea Institute for Industrial Economics & Trade, the shipping market condition is to show a rebound after hitting rock bottom last 2017. The shipbuilding industry’s situation has improved, showing a significant upturn since then.

Korean Shipbuilding Industry

In 2017, many Korean shipbuilders surpassed their annual projections, indicating a recovery from the severe order drought of 2016. According to Clarkson Research, in 2017 new-buildings of a combined 6.45m cgt were reported to have been contracted at Korean yards, representing an increase of 199% compared to the prior year. This growth rate is higher than that of China and Japan. Korean shipbuilders have led global tanker newbuilding market. According to industry statistics and ASIASIS’s survey, HHI obtained orders for 150 units of merchant vessels worth around $10 billion in 2017. Korean ‘Big 3’ shipbuilders, HHI, Daewoo and Samsung, have set their 2018 order goals higher than 2017’s, indicating positive growth in the order sales market going forward. As the Korean shipbuilding industry recovers and expands its technological innovation aimed at autonomous/unmanned ships in 2020, we anticipate an increased demand for our navigation and Smart Ship solutions from Korean shipbuilders. We also expect to continue supplying HHI ISIG and our Collision Avoidance Systems and Optimal Voyage Systems.

Market Opportunity

Beginning in July of 2018, the IMO will mandate every ship to be equipped with ECDIS. The IMO will initiate its Strategic Implementation Plan for e-Navigation in 2019. The plan will require that all navigation equipment be globally standardized, digitalized and inter-connected. The IMO’s goal is to increase safety of navigation in commercial shipping through better organization of data on ships by 2020. We believe that the IMO’s plan will consequently increase demand for smart ships. Out of 3,500 new ships already planned HHI over the next three years, approximately 700 ships will be equipped with the Total Smart Ship Solution Package. HHI’s Total Smart Ship Package consists of various Smart Ship Solutions that we develop, such as our Navigation Information Management System, our Engine Information System, and our Energy Management System.

Manufacturing

We manufacture our products and solutions at our Research and Development Center in Busan. We develop our own software, as well as incorporate our software into customized hardware. These hardware products are assembled either in our factory or at a location requested by our customers. Our manufacturing processes are in accordance with IDO 9001:2008, which is discussed below under the heading “Government Approvals.” These manufactured products are also compliant with international standards for function and performance, such as those set forth by the International Electrotechnical Commission.

Competition

ECIDIS & Navigation Systems

We lead the military and security market in South Korea. Our major competitors are Japan Radio Co., Ltd. and Furuno Electric Co., Ltd., who each hold 30% of South Korean commercial market share respectively. The majority of the commercial market is made up of European and Japanese navigation and communication products. With its ECDIS technology, we plan to develop a new solution: eMarine Integrated Communication System (“e-ICS”). We allocated $1,060,000 for the system’s development and introduced it during the second quarter of 2018. In 2019, we integrated e-CIS with our Smart Ship technology to produce Integrated Navigation System (“INS”) In developing e-ICS, its protocols and interface specifications will be provided by Hyundai in cooperation with communication equipment’s suppliers.

Smart Ship Solutions

We provide ISIG, which undergirds our Smart Ship Solutions. We have provided 315 ISIGs to HHI since 2012. The Company has developed various Smart Ship solutions with HHI for HHI’s newly built ships. Beginning in 2018, HHI began implementing the jointly developed Smart Ship Solutions to most of their new ships. In 2019, more than 120 HHI’s ships are equipped with our Smart Ship solutions. We derive approximately 15-20% of our revenue from our partnership with HHI.

The Unmanned/Autonomous Ship market is led by Rolls-Royce, Konsberg and Wartsila. By further developing systems such as ENC, ISIG, Collision Avoidance System and Track Control System, all of which we believe to be essential components of unmanned ships, we believe we will be well-positioned to enter the Unmanned/Autonomous Ship market by 2020.

Further, NAPA and ENRIAM, two Finnish companies, are leaders in providing fuel-saving solutions to the market; however, they mainly operate in the European passenger ship sector.

Aids to Navigation

South Korea leads in the application of I.o.T technology to AtoN systems. To date, we have implemented 13 maritime weather management modules in South Korea, which we believe to be the most among competitors. We also believe that we will maintain our position as a market leader by applying Big Data and Augmented Reality & Artificial Intelligence (“AR/AI”) technology to both our planned and future AtoN projects, such as our Integrated Maritime Weather Signal Control & Monitoring System project (2016 – 2017). We plan to implement a comprehensive management and operation system that connects all regional AtoN management systems for the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries, which will establish a protocol for standardization of all maritime traffic and weather data. We believe that our role as the architect of this system will allow us to continue to play a major role in similar projects that utilize the system in the future.

Distribution

We have been South Korea’s sole distributor of CARIS, a maritime GIS solution, for nearly 17 years. Globally, CARIs has the highest market share in the maritime GIS field. Norway’s Hatteland Monitor holds the largest market share in its field while competing with MOXA and L3’s low-cost products, while we provide Hatteland products directly to Hyundai, Samsung and Doosan ships in South Korea

Customers

Our customers operate within the maritime and shipbuilding industries. Our main customers operate within the maritime security organizations such as R.O.K. Navy, the Korean Coast Guard, and the Korean Ministry of Fisheries, as well as shipbuilding companies such as HHI and Hanjin Heavy Industries.

We have been the market leader of ECDIS in Korea, consistently supplying and operating maintenance service for the Republic of Korea Navy, the Coast Guard and other public and commercial ships. We continuously provide ECDIS maintenance services to an average of 200 navy vessels annually, with contracts renewed every one to two years. We derive approximately 95% of our ECDIS sales revenue from our South Korean government contracts with Navy, Coast Guard and Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries. Through government contracts won by official bidding, we implement Aids to Navigation software, sensors and servers. The official bids are evaluated primarily on two factors: (i) the sophistication of the technology and (ii) the bid price. Winning bids typically result in contracts ranging from one to two years.

In addition, we develop our Smart Ship solutions through our partnership with Hyundai Heavy Industries and through our research and development contracts with the South Korean government, which we obtain through government-administrated bidding-process. Further, through our partnership with Hyundai Heavy Industries, we install our Smart Ship solutions into Hyundai’s newly-built ships, which are then sold to customers. We also supply overseas navigation-related solutions such as maritime PC hardware, Hatteland, and maritime GIS software, CARIS, to maritime agencies and shipbuilders.

Industry Specific Risk Factors

Risks associated with operating ocean-going vessels in the future could affect our business and reputation, which could adversely affect our revenues and stock price.

The operation of ocean-going vessels carries inherent risks. These risks include the possibility of:

	●	marine disaster;

	●	environmental accidents;

	●	cargo and property losses or damage;

	●	business interruptions caused by mechanical failure, human error, war, terrorism, political action in various countries, labor strikes or adverse weather conditions; and

	●	piracy.

These hazards may result in death or injury to persons, loss of revenues or property, environmental damage, damage to our customer relationships, delay or rerouting.

World events could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Terrorist attacks and the threat of future terrorist attacks around the world may cause uncertainty in the world’s financial markets and may affect our ability to revive manufacturing operations, operating results and financial condition. Continuing conflicts and recent developments in the Middle East, including Egypt, and North Africa, and the presence of U.S. or other armed forces in the Middle East, may lead to additional acts of terrorism and armed conflict around the world, which may contribute to further economic instability in the global financial markets. These uncertainties could also adversely affect our ability to obtain additional financing on terms acceptable to us or at all. In the past, political conflicts have also resulted in attacks on vessels, such as the attack on the MT Limburg, a vessel unaffiliated with us, in October 2002, mining of waterways and other efforts to disrupt international shipping, particularly in the Arabian Gulf region. Acts of terrorism and piracy have also affected vessels trading in regions such as the South China Sea and the Gulf of Aden off the coast of Somalia. Any of these occurrences could have a material adverse impact on our operating results.

In the highly competitive international shipping industry, we may not be able to compete for contracts with new entrants or established companies with greater resources which may have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial conditions, liquidity and results of operations.

The naval navigation and communication systems market is highly competitive. Some competitors have substantially greater resources than we have. Competition for the contracts is intense and depends on price, location and reputation. Our competitors with greater resources and access to capital than we have may be able to offer lower rates and higher quality products than we may be able to offer. If this were to occur, we may be unable to attract new or former customers on attractive terms or at all, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.

Our competitors may develop products that are less expensive, are safer or more effective, and thus may diminish or eliminate the commercial success of any potential products that we may commercialize.

If our competitors’ market products that are less expensive, safer or more effective than our future products developed from our product candidates, or that reach the market before our product candidates, we may not achieve commercial success. The market may choose to continue utilizing the existing products for any number of reasons, including familiarity with or pricing of these existing products. The failure of any of our product candidates to compete with products marketed by our competitors would impair our ability to generate revenue, which would have a material adverse effect on our future business, financial condition and results of operations.

We expect to compete with several companies and our competitors may:

	●	develop and market products that are less expensive or more effective than our future products;

	●	commercialize competing products before we or our partners can launch any products developed from our product candidates;

	●	operate larger research and development programs or have substantially greater financial resources than we do;

	●	initiate or withstand substantial price competition more successfully than we can;

	●	have greater success in recruiting skilled technical and scientific workers from the limited pool of available talent;

	●	more effectively negotiate third-party licenses and strategic relationships; and

	●	take advantage of acquisition or other opportunities more readily than we can.

Our products are subject to government regulations and customer requirements regarding safety matters that may require significant expenditures by us to ensure compliance.

Our products (and certain uses of our products) may be subject to governmental regulations for compliance with applicable safety standards. Any failure to comply with such standards could subject us to both governmental fines as well as possible claims by consumers.

Risks Related to Doing Business in Korea

The movement of the Korean Won against the U.S. dollar and other currencies may have a material adverse effect on us.

The Korean Won has fluctuated significantly against major currencies in recent years, especially as a result of the recent global financial crisis and the relatively speedy recovery of Korean economy therefrom. The appreciation of the Won against U.S. dollar and other foreign currencies typically results in a material increase in the cost of fuel and equipment purchased from overseas and the cost of servicing our foreign currency-denominated debt as the prices for substantially all of the fuel materials and a significant portion of the equipment we purchase are stated in currencies other than the Won, generally in U.S. dollars. As a result, any significant depreciation of Won against the U.S. dollar or other major foreign currencies will have a material adverse effect on our profitability and results of operations.

Because we generate all of our revenues in Korean Won but incur a portion of our expenses in other currencies, exchange rate fluctuations could have an adverse impact on our results of operations.

We generate substantially all of our revenues in Korean Won but certain of our expenses are incurred in currencies other than the Korean Won. This difference could lead to fluctuations in net income due to changes in the value of the Korean Won relative to these other currencies, in particular the Euro. Expenses incurred in foreign currencies against which the Korean Won falls in value could increase, decreasing our net income and cash flow from operations.

Most of the registrant’s operations are carried out in the Republic of Korea. As a result, our operations are subject to various political, economic, and other risks and uncertainties.

Our main operations are in the Republic of Korea. Our operations are subject to various political, economic, and other risks and uncertainties inherent to the country. Among other risks, the registrant’s operations are subject to the risks of political conditions and governmental regulations. If there are any changes to government regulations that affect our ability to operate, we may face significant losses

Escalations in tensions with North Korea could have an adverse effect on us.

Relations between Korea and North Korea have been tense throughout Korea’s modern history. The level of tension between the two Koreas has fluctuated and may increase abruptly as a result of current and future events. In recent years, there have been heightened security concerns stemming from North Korea’s nuclear weapon and long- range missile programs and increased uncertainty regarding North Korea’s actions and possible responses from the international community. In December 2002, North Korea removed the seals and surveillance equipment from its Yongbyon nuclear power plant and evicted inspectors from the United Nations International Atomic Energy Agency. In January 2003, North Korea renounced its obligations under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. Since the renouncement, Korea, the United States, North Korea, China, Japan and Russia have held numerous rounds of six party multi-lateral talks in an effort to resolve issues relating to North Korea’s nuclear weapons program.

There can be no assurance that the level of tension on the Korean peninsula will not escalate in the future. Any further increase in tensions, which may occur, for example, if North Korea experiences a leadership crisis, high-level contacts break down or military hostilities occur, could have a material adverse effect on our operations and the market value of our common stock.

It may not be possible for investors to enforce U.S. judgments against us.

Our operations are primarily conducted outside of the United States. In addition, all of our directors and officers are non-residents of the United States, and all or a substantial portion of the assets of these non-residents are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult or impossible for U.S. investors to serve process within the United States upon us, our subsidiaries or our directors and officers or to enforce a judgment against us for civil liabilities in U.S. courts. In addition, you should not assume that courts in the countries in which we or our subsidiaries are incorporated or where our or the assets of our subsidiaries are located (1) would enforce judgments of U.S. courts obtained in actions against us or our subsidiaries based upon the civil liability provisions of applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws or (2) would enforce, in original actions, liabilities against us or our subsidiaries based on those laws.

Risks Relating to Our Business

We have received a going concern opinion from our auditors.

We have received a “going concern” opinion from our independent registered public accounting firm, reflecting substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our consolidated financial statements contemplate that we will continue as a going concern and do not contain any adjustments that might result if we were unable to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to raise additional capital and implement our business plan. If we are unable to achieve or sustain profitability or to secure additional financing on acceptable terms, we may not be able to meet our obligations as they come due, raising substantial doubts as to our ability to continue as a going concern. Any such inability to continue as a going concern may result in our stockholders losing their entire investment. There is no guarantee that we will become profitable or secure additional financing on acceptable terms. We are striving to raise business efficiency to improve the margin and achieve sales increase through more marketing efforts and advantage in technological advantage. We are also planning on funding through private placements and continuing initiatives to raise capital to meet future working capital requirements.

Failure to comply with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act could result in fines, criminal penalties and an adverse effect on our business.

We may operate in a number of countries throughout the world, including countries known to have a reputation for corruption. We are committed to doing business in accordance with applicable anti-corruption laws and have adopted a code of business conduct and ethics which is consistent and in full compliance with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, or the FCPA. We are subject, however, to the risk that we, our affiliated entities or our or their respective officers, directors, employees and agents may take actions determined to be in violation of such anti-corruption laws, including the FCPA. Any such violation could result in substantial fines, sanctions, civil and/or criminal penalties, curtailment of operations in certain jurisdictions, and might adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition. In addition, actual or alleged violations could damage our reputation and ability to do business. Furthermore, detecting, investigating, and resolving actual or alleged violations is expensive and can consume significant time and attention of our senior management.

We may conduct business in China, where the legal system has inherent uncertainties that could limit the legal protections available to us.

Any contracts that we may enter into in the future may be subject to new regulations in China that may require us to incur new or additional compliance or other administrative costs and may require that we pay to the Chinese government new taxes or other fees. Changes in laws and regulations, including with regards to tax matters, and their implementation by local authorities could affect vessels chartered to Chinese customers as well as vessels calling to Chinese ports and could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may not be able to raise equity and debt financing sufficient to meet our capital and operating needs and to comply with the covenants that we expect will be contained in our debt agreements, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

We cannot assure you that the net proceeds from any future equity offering or debt financing would be sufficient to satisfy our capital and operating needs and enable us to comply with various debt covenants that we expect will be contained in future debt agreements. In such case, we may not be able to raise additional equity capital or obtain additional debt financing or refinance our existing indebtedness, if necessary. If we are not able to comply with the covenants that we expect will be contained in future debt agreements and our lenders choose to accelerate our indebtedness and foreclose their liens, we could be required to sell any vessels we may own and our ability to continue to conduct our business would be impaired.

We are currently in default under certain of our borrowings, and our continued inability to repay these borrowings may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

We are currently in default under certain of our borrowings. As of December 31, 2019, we are currently in default of an aggregate of ￦335,000 thousand in borrowings from two lenders. The borrowings are unsecured and bear an interest of 6.00% per annum. We are currently in negotiations with both lenders to extend the maturity date for each of the borrowings to reduce the risk of further defaults in the near term. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in renegotiating these extensions or that we will be able to secure additional funding to repay these borrowings. If we are unable to renegotiate these extensions or secure additional funding to repay these borrowings, this may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Most of our ECDIS sales revenues come from South Korean government contracts.

ECDIS sales are a major part of our business. South Korean government contracts make up approximately 95% of our ECDIS sales. Should we fail in the future to obtain South Korean government contracts or are unable to win government contracts at the rate we are currently, our revenues may decrease significantly.

A material failure, inadequacy, interruption or security failure of our technology networks and related systems could harm our business.

Our information technology networks and related systems are essential to our ability to conduct our day to day operations. As a result, we face risks associated with security breaches, whether through cyber-attacks or cyber intrusions over the internet, malware, computer viruses, attachments to emails, persons who access our systems from inside or outside our organization and other significant disruptions of our information technology networks and related systems. A security breach or other significant disruption involving our information technology networks and related systems or those of our vendors could: disrupt our operations; result in the unauthorized access to, and the destruction, loss, theft, misappropriation or release of, proprietary, personally identifiable, confidential, sensitive or otherwise valuable information including tenant information and lease data, which others could use to compete against us or which could expose us to damage claims by third parties for disruptive, destructive or otherwise harmful outcomes; require significant management attention and resources to remedy any damages that result; subject us to claims for breach of contract, damages, credits, penalties or termination of leases or other agreements; or damage our business relationships or reputation generally. Any or all of the foregoing could materially and adversely affect our business and the value of our stock.

The risk of counterparties failing to meet their obligations could cause us to suffer losses or otherwise adversely affect our business.

We may enter into in the future, among other things, credit facilities with banks and interest rate swap agreements. Such agreements also would subject us to counterparty risks. The ability of each of the counterparties to perform its obligations under a contract with us will depend on a number of factors that are beyond our control and may include, among other things, general economic conditions, the condition of our industry sector, the overall financial condition of the counterparty, and various expenses. Should a counterparty fail to honor its obligations under agreements with us, we could sustain significant losses which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

We or our Managers may be unable to attract and retain key management personnel and other employees in the shipping industry, which may negatively impact the effectiveness of our management and results of operations.

Our success depends to a significant extent upon the abilities and efforts of our management team, including our ability to retain key members of our management team and to hire new members as may be necessary. The loss of any of these individuals could adversely affect our business prospects and financial condition. Difficulty in hiring and retaining replacement personnel could adversely affect our business, results of operations and ability to pay dividends. We do not intend to maintain “key man” life insurance on any of our officers or other members of our management team.

Our success is dependent upon our ability to adequately and appropriately serve our customers.

Our operations are heavily dependent upon the delivery of superior customer service across a broad customer base, by which negative feedback from agents, insureds or internal staff could result in a loss of revenue for the Company.

We may have to pay tax on U.S. source income, which would reduce our earnings.

As a foreign corporation to the United States, our operating income generally is taxable in the United States if it is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States. In order to be effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States, operating income must be from sources within the United States. The income we derive from the sale of our products and solutions is not derived from sources within the United States. Our products and solutions are provided to companies operating outside the United States and consist of services performed outside the United States. Accordingly, we do not believe that we would be taxable in the United States on our general operating income. However there can be no assurance that we will not have to pay tax on U.S. source income and, if we do, our earnings would be reduced.

U.S. tax authorities could treat us as a “passive foreign investment company,” which could have adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. shareholders.

A foreign corporation will be treated as a “passive foreign investment company,” or PFIC, for U.S. federal income tax purposes if either (1) at least 75% of its gross income for any taxable year consists of certain types of “passive income” or (2) at least 50% of the average value of the corporation’s assets produce, or are held for the production of, those types of “passive income.” For purposes of these tests, “passive income” includes dividends, interest, gains from the sale or exchange of investment property, and rents and royalties other than rents and royalties which are received from unrelated parties in connection with the active conduct of a trade or business. For purposes of these tests, income derived from the performance of services does not constitute “passive income.” U.S. shareholders of a PFIC are subject to a disadvantageous U.S. federal income tax regime with respect to the income derived by the PFIC, the distributions they receive from the PFIC and the gain, if any, they derive from the sale or other disposition of their shares in the PFIC.

Based on our prior method of operations, we do not believe that we will be a PFIC with respect to any taxable year as a result of any income that we may earn. In this regard, we intend to treat the gross income we derive or are deemed to derive from our service activities as services income. Accordingly, we believe that income from our service activities does not constitute “passive income,” and the assets that we own and operate in connection with the production of that income do not constitute assets that produce, or are held for the production of, “passive income.” However, no assurance can be given that the IRS or a court of law will accept our position, and there is a risk that the IRS or a court of law could determine that we are a PFIC. Moreover, no assurance can be given that we would not constitute a PFIC for any future taxable year if there were to be changes in the nature of our operations.

If the IRS were to find that we are or have been a PFIC for any taxable year, our U.S. shareholders would face adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences and information reporting obligations. Under the PFIC rules, unless those U.S. shareholders make an election available under the Code (which election could itself have adverse consequences for such U.S. shareholders), such U.S. shareholders would be liable to pay U.S. federal income tax at the then prevailing U.S. federal income tax rates on ordinary income plus interest upon “excess distributions” and upon any gain from the disposition of our common shares, as if such “excess distribution” or gain had been recognized ratably over the U.S. shareholder’s holding period of our common shares.

The current state of global financial markets and current economic conditions may adversely impact our ability to obtain additional financing or refinance our existing indebtedness on acceptable terms which may hinder or prevent us from expanding our business.

Global financial markets and economic conditions continue to be volatile. This volatility has negatively affected the general willingness of banks and other financial institutions to extend credit, particularly in the shipping industry, due to the historically volatile asset values of vessels. The current state of global financial markets might adversely impact our ability to issue additional equity at prices which will not be dilutive to our existing shareholders or preclude us from issuing equity at all.

Also, as a result of concerns about the stability of financial markets generally and the solvency of counterparties specifically, the cost of obtaining money from the credit markets has increased as many lenders have increased interest rates, enacted tighter lending standards, refused to refinance existing debt at all or on terms similar to current debt and reduced, and in some cases ceased, to provide funding to borrowers. Due to these factors, we cannot be certain that additional financing will be available if needed and to the extent required, or that we will be able to refinance our existing indebtedness, on acceptable terms or at all. If additional financing or refinancing is not available when needed, or is available only on unfavorable terms, we may be unable to meet our obligations as they come due or we may be unable to revive our shipping operations, complete potential vessel acquisitions or otherwise take advantage of business opportunities as they arise.

The instability of the euro or the inability of countries to refinance their debts could have a material adverse effect on our revenue, profitability and financial position.

As a result of the credit crisis in Europe, in particular in Greece, Italy, Ireland, Portugal and Spain, the European Commission created the European Financial Stability Facility (the “EFSF”), and the European Financial Stability Mechanism (the “EFSM”), to provide funding to Eurozone countries in financial difficulties that seek such support. In March 2011, the European Council agreed on the need for Eurozone countries to establish a permanent stability mechanism, the European Stability Mechanism, which was established on September 27, 2012 to assume the role of the EFSF and the EFSM in providing external financial assistance to Eurozone countries. Despite these measures, concerns persist regarding the debt burden of certain Eurozone countries and their ability to meet future financial obligations and the overall stability of the euro. An extended period of adverse developments in the outlook for European countries could reduce the overall demand for our products and services. These potential developments, or market perceptions concerning these and related issues, could affect our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

There is not an active liquid trading market for the Company’s common stock.

The Company’s common stock is quoted on the OTC Pink Market under the symbol “EMRN”. However, there has been minimal reported trading to date in the Company’s common stock, and we cannot give an assurance that an active trading market will develop. As a result, investors may find it difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations of the price of, our securities. This severely limits the liquidity of the common stock and may adversely affect the market price of our common stock. A limited market may also impair our ability to raise capital by selling shares of capital stock and may impair our ability to acquire other companies or assets by using common stock as consideration.

If an active market for the Company’s common stock develops, there is a significant risk that the Company’s stock price may fluctuate dramatically in the future in response to any of the following factors, some of which are beyond our control:

● variations in our quarterly operating results;

● announcements that our revenue or income are below analysts’ expectations;

● general economic slowdowns;

● sales of large blocks of the Company’s common stock; and

● announcements by us or our competitors of significant contracts, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments.

Our common stock may be subject to the “penny stock” rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, which may make it more difficult for stockholders to sell our common stock.

The SEC has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the definition of a “penny stock,” for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require that a broker or dealer approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, and the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.

In order to approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person and make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.

The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination, and that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction.

Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the “penny stock” rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of the Company’s common stock if and when such shares are eligible for sale and may cause a decline in the market value of its stock.

Because we became a public company by means of a reverse acquisition, we may not be able to attract the attention of brokerage firms.

Because we became public through a “reverse acquisition”, securities analysts of brokerage firms may not provide coverage of us since there is little incentive to brokerage firms to recommend the purchase of our common stock. No assurance can be given that brokerage firms will want to conduct any secondary offerings on behalf of the Company in the future.

Applicable regulatory requirements, including those contained in and issued under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, may make it difficult for the Company to retain or attract qualified officers and directors, which could adversely affect the management of its business and its ability to obtain or retain listing of its common stock.

We may be unable to attract and retain those qualified officers, directors and members of board committees required to provide for effective management because of the rules and regulations that govern publicly held companies, including, but not limited to, certifications by principal executive officers. The enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act has resulted in the issuance of a series of related rules and regulations and the strengthening of existing rules and regulations by the SEC, as well as the adoption of new and more stringent rules by the stock exchanges. The perceived increased personal risk associated with these changes may deter qualified individuals from accepting roles as directors and executive officers.

Further, some of these changes heighten the requirements for board or committee membership, particularly with respect to an individual’s independence from the corporation and level of experience in finance and accounting matters. We may have difficulty attracting and retaining directors with the requisite qualifications. If we are unable to attract and retain qualified officers and directors, the management of its business and its ability to obtain or retain listing of our shares of common stock on any stock exchange (assuming we elect to seek and are successful in obtaining such listing) could be adversely affected.

Public company compliance may make it more difficult to attract and retain officers and directors.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act and new rules subsequently implemented by the SEC have required changes in corporate governance practices of public companies. As a public company, we expect these new rules and regulations to increase our compliance costs in 2017 and beyond and to make certain activities more time consuming and costly. As a public company, we also expect that these new rules and regulations may make it more difficult and expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance in the future 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 persons to serve on our board of directors or as executive officers.

We do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.

We have paid no dividends on our common stock to date and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends to holders of our common stock in the foreseeable future. While our future dividend policy will be based on the operating results and capital needs of the business, we currently anticipate that we will retain any earnings to finance our future expansion and for the implementation of our business plan. A lack of a dividend can further affect the market value of our stock and could significantly affect the value of any investment in our Company.

Our stockholders may experience significant dilution.

We have a significant number of warrants to purchase our common stock outstanding, the exercise of which would be dilutive to stockholders. In certain instances, the exercise prices are subject to adjustment if we issue or sell shares of our common stock or equity-based instruments at a price per share less than the exercise price then in effect. In such case, both the issuance and the adjustment would be dilutive to stockholders.

We may from time to time finance our future operations or acquisitions through the issuance of equity securities, which securities may also have rights and preferences senior to the rights and preferences of our common stock. We may also grant options to purchase shares of our common stock to our directors, employees and consultants, the exercise of which would also result in dilution to our stockholders.

As an issuer of “penny stock”, the protection provided by the federal securities laws relating to forward looking statements does not apply to us.

Although federal securities laws provide a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by a public company that files reports under the federal securities laws, this safe harbor is not available to issuers of penny stocks. As a result, we will not have the benefit of this safe harbor protection in the event of any legal action based upon a claim that the material provided by us contained a material misstatement of fact or was misleading in any material respect because of our failure to include any statements necessary to make the statements not misleading. Such an action could hurt our financial condition.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

From time to time we may be involved in litigation incidental to the conduct of our business. In the ordinary course of business, we may be a party to inquiries, legal proceedings and claims including, from time to time, disagreements with vendors and customers.

On January 18, 2018, the Company commenced a lawsuit in the district court in the Republic of Korea against a customer, Shinwoo E&D., Ltd. (“Shinwoo”), to recover an unpaid balance of ￦ 84,095,000 which was due during fiscal year 2017. The district court ruled in favor of the Company. On February 1, 2018, Shinwoo filed an appeal against the district court’s decision. The Company has not recorded any reserve related to this dispute as of December 31, 2019.

Other than the legal proceedings disclosed above, as of December 31, 2019, we are not aware of other legal proceedings, government actions, administrative actions, investigations or claims pending against the Company or involving the Company that, in the opinion of management, could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on its business and financial condition.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

Share Exchange Agreement

On July 25, 2017, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with e-Marine Co., Ltd., a corporation formed under the laws of South Korea (“e-Marine”), and the shareholders of e-Marine (the “e-Marine Shareholders”), pursuant to which the e-Marine Shareholders assigned, transferred and delivered, free and clear of all liens, 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of e-Marine, representing 100% of the equity interest in e-Marine (the “e-Marine Shares”) to the Company in exchange for 14,975,000 restricted shares of common stock of the Company (the “Exchange Shares”). The transaction closed on July 25, 2017 (the “Closing Date”).

As a result, e-Marine became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and the e-Marine shareholders acquired a controlling interest in the Company (the “Share Exchange”). For accounting purposes, the Share Exchange was treated as an acquisition of Pollex and a recapitalization of e-Marine. E-Marine is the accounting acquirer, and the results of its operations carryover. Accordingly, the operations of Pollex are not carried over and have been adjusted to $0.

In connection with the Exchange Agreement, the e-Marine Shareholders entered into a 6-month “lock-up” agreement in substantially the form included in the Exchange Agreement and subject to customary exceptions.

In issuing the Exchange Shares to the e-Marine Shareholders, the Company relied upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as, among other things, the transaction did not involve a public offering and the securities were acquired for investment purposes only and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof.

Overview

We were incorporated on November 2, 2001, in the State of Nevada, under the name “Web Views Corporation.” On October 20, 2008, we changed our name to “Pollex, Inc.” Formerly a subsidiary of Joytoto Co., Ltd, we operated as an online gaming business by acquiring new game licenses and making such games commercially available in South Korea and the United States.

On July 25, 2017, we entered into an Exchange Agreement with e-Marine Co., Ltd. and the e-Marine Shareholders, pursuant to which we acquired all of the outstanding equity of e-Marine in exchange for 14,975,000 restricted shares of our Common Stock (the “Share Exchange”). As a result of the Share Exchange, e-Marine became our wholly-owned subsidiary. On August 15, 2017, we changed our name from “Pollex, Inc.” to “eMarine Global Inc.” As a result of the Share Exchange, we have discontinued our online gaming business and have now assumed e-Marine’s business operations.

We, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, e-Marine, are an information and communications technology solutions provider for the global maritime industry. We provide solutions for the collection, integration and display of maritime information abroad and ashore by electronic means to enhance berth to berth navigation and other related services. These solutions provide the most efficient means to secure the safety of life at sea and to protect the marine environment. All products and services are offered through subscription, installation, updates and/or maintenance contracts. We focus our business on four main hardware and software products: (i) Electronic Chart Display & Information System (“ECDIS”); (ii) Smart Ship solutions; (iii) distribution of overseas solutions; and (iv) Aids to Navigation (“AtoN”) systems.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES FOR EMARINE GLOBAL INC.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

As of December 31, 2019, we had ￦592,327 thousand of cash and cash equivalents. For the year ended December 30, 2019, we reported loss from operations of ￦121,488 thousand and net cash provided by operating activities of ￦886,646 thousand. We continue to experience liquidity constraints due to the continuing losses. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

During 2019, management addressed going concern remediation by conducting a private placement offering to fund operations, and is continuing initiatives to raise capital to meet future working capital requirements. However, additional capital is required to reduce the Company’s risk of going concern uncertainties beyond the next twelve months as of May 14, 2020. There is no certainty that we will be able to arrange sufficient funding to continue its operations.

Cash Requirements

As noted, we anticipate that our cash requirements will increase substantially as we seek to expand our operations geographically in order to generate greater revenue.

Operations

Operating Cash Flows. Net cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2019 was ￦886,646 thousand, which was due to the net loss of ￦300,379 thousand, pension benefits payments of ￦153,364 and payment of lease liabilities of ￦116,039 thousand offset by the increase in net operating liabilities of ￦630,855 thousand and noncash expenses of ￦825,573 thousand.

Investments

Investing Cash Flows. Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2019 was ￦7,381 thousand which was due to the proceeds from disposals of short-term financial instruments of ￦36,000 thousand and the decrease in loans to related parties of ￦4,846 thousand offset by the increase in short-term financial instruments of ￦36,000 thousand and purchase of property and equipment of ￦12,227 thousand.

Financing Cash Flows. Net cash used in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2019 was ￦352,166 thousand, which was due to the receipt of proceeds from warrants exercised of ￦20,945 thousand and the increase in borrowings of ￦692,000 thousand offset by decrease in loans from related parties of ￦89,117 thousand and repayments of borrowings of ￦975,994 thousand.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. In consultation with our board of directors, we have identified the following accounting policies that we believe are key to an understanding of our financial statements. These are important accounting policies that require management’s most difficult, subjective judgments.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue recognition for multiple-element arrangements requires judgment to determine if multiple elements exist, whether elements can be accounted for as separate units of accounting, and if so, the fair value for each of the elements. Revenue for sale of goods is recognized when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the customer, recovery of the consideration is probable, the associated costs and possible return of the goods can be estimated reliably, there is no continuing involvement with goods, and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. If it is probable that discounts will be granted and the amount can be measured reliably, then the discount is recognized as a reduction of revenue as the sales are recognized.

Revenue from services is recognized by reference to the stage of performance of the services when the Company can reliably measure the amount of revenue and the recovery of the consideration is considered probable.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Refer to Note 3 in the notes to our consolidated financial statements beginning on F-11.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

To our knowledge, our directors and executive officers have not been involved in any of the following events during the past ten years:

	1.	any bankruptcy petition filed by or against such person or any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time;

Other Directorships

None of our officers and directors are directors of any company with a class of securities registered pursuant to section 12 of the Exchange Act or subject to the requirements of section 15(d) of such Act or any company registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

Director Independence

Our board of directors has determined that currently none of it members qualify as “independent” as the term is used in Item 407 of Regulation S-K as promulgated by the SEC.

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

Although we have not adopted a formal policy on whether the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer positions should be separate or combined, we have traditionally determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to partially combine these roles. Due to the small size of the Company, we believe it is currently most effective to have the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer positions partially combined.

Dr. Ung Gyu Kim, our Chairman, also serves as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. The Company is seeking other qualified individuals to serve on the Company’s Board of Directors. At this time, the Company does not have Directors and Officers liability insurance which has been a deterring factor in seeking other qualified directors. Dr. Kim is actively involved in oversight of the Company’s day-to-day activities.

Our Board of Directors is primarily responsible for overseeing our risk management processes. The Board of Directors receives and reviews periodic reports from management, auditors, legal counsel, and others, as considered appropriate regarding our Company’s assessment of risks. The Board of Directors focuses on the most significant risks facing our Company and our Company’s general risk management strategy, and also ensures that risks undertaken by our Company are consistent with the Board’s appetite for risk. While the Board oversees our Company, our Company’s management is responsible for day-to-day risk management processes. We believe this division of responsibilities is the most effective approach for addressing the risks facing our Company and that our Board leadership structure supports this approach.

Board Diversity

While we do not have a formal policy on diversity, our Board considers diversity to include the skill set, background, reputation, type and length of business experience of our Board members as well as a particular nominee’s contributions to that mix. Although there are many other factors, the Board seeks individuals with experience on public company boards as well as experience with advertising, marketing, legal and accounting skills.

Board Assessment of Risk

Our risk management function is overseen by our Board. Our management keeps our Board apprised of material risks and provides our directors access to all information necessary for them to understand and evaluate how these risks interrelate, how they affect the Company, and how management addresses those risks. Once material risks are identified, Dr. Ung Gyu Kim, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, determines how to best address such risk. If the identified risk poses an actual or potential conflict with management, our independent directors, if any, may conduct the assessment. The Board focuses on these key risks and interfaces with management on seeking solutions. Currently we have three members on the board of directors of the Company.

Meetings and Committees of the Board of Directors

Our Board of Directors did not hold any formal meetings during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.

We currently do not maintain any committees of the Board of Directors. Given our size and the development of our business to date, we believe that the board through its meetings can perform all of the duties and responsibilities which might be contemplated by a committee.

Except as may be provided in our bylaws, we do not currently have specified procedures in place pursuant to which security holders may recommend nominees to the Board of Directors.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as Amended

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires that our executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities, file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Executive officers, directors and greater-than-ten percent stockholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely on our review of the copies of the forms received by us and written representations from certain reporting persons that they have complied with the relevant filing requirements, we believe that, during the year ended December 31, 2018, all of our executive officers, directors and greater-than-ten percent stockholders complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements, except that, due to administrative error, the following form was filed late:

●

Ung Gyu Kim filed a Form 3 on March 2, 2018 to report transactions that occurred on February 27, 2018.

Code of Ethics and Business Conduct

We have not yet adopted a Code of Ethics, although we expect to do so as we develop our infrastructure and business.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of eMarine Global Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of eMarine Global Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Explanatory Paragraph – Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered liquidity constraints due to recurring losses. These conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2019 AND 2018

NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION

eMarine Global Inc. is a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) formed under the name of Web Views Corporation on November 2, 2001. On October 20, 2008, the Company changed its name to Pollex, Inc. (“Pollex”)

e-Marine Co., Ltd. was organized under the laws of the Republic of Korea on January 2, 2001, and is a maritime information and communications technology provider based in South Korea. e-Marine seeks to achieve safety of life at sea through the use of various technologies, such as e-Navigation, Maritime Internet-of-Things (otherwise known as “I.o.T.”) and marine big data technology (collectively, “Maritime ICT Convergence”). e-Marine’s main products and services are divided into four categories: (1) Electronic Chart Display & Information System (“ECDIS”); (2) Smart Ship; (3) Overseas Solutions Distributions; and (4) Aids to Navigation.

NOTE 2 – LIQUIDITY FINANCIAL CONDITION AND MANAGEMENT PLANS

As of December 31, 2019, the Company had cash of ￦592,327 thousand. Historically, the Company had net losses and negative cash flows from operations. The Company continues to experience liquidity constraints due to the continuing losses. These factors contributed to the Company’s substantial doubt of its ability to continue as a going concern.

During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, management has addressed going concern remediation through funding through the private placement and is continuing initiatives to raise capital to meet future working capital requirements. However, additional capital is required to reduce the risk of going concern uncertainties for the Company beyond the next twelve months as of the reporting date. There is no certainty that the Company will be able to arrange sufficient funding to continue its operations.

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

Functional and Reporting Currency

The Company uses Korean Won as its functional currency since the majority of the Company’s revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities are recognized in the Republic of Korea and the reporting currency is the same as the functional currency.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates are used in determining, among other items, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory reserve, impairment testing for goodwill and other intangible assets, pension liabilities, income taxes and contingencies. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with a maturity of less than three months at purchase to be cash equivalents.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2019 AND 2018

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the use of the reporting entity’s own assumptions

The carrying values reported in balance sheets for current financial assets and current financial liabilities approximate their estimated fair market values based on the short-term maturity of these instruments.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful accounts

Accounts receivable are customer obligations due under normal trade terms. The Company performs continuing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and reviews accounts receivable on a monthly basis to determine if any receivables will potentially be uncollectible. The Company includes any accounts receivable balances that are determined to be uncollectible, along with a general reserve based on historical experience, in its overall allowance for doubtful accounts.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined by the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method, or market.

The Company continually analyzes its slow-moving and excess inventories. Based on historical and projected sales volumes and anticipated selling prices, the Company establishes reserves. Inventory that is in excess of current and projected use is reduced by an allowance to a level that approximates its estimate of future demand. Products that are determined to be obsolete are written down to net realizable value.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. The Company provides for depreciation generally on the straight-line method based upon estimated useful life of 5 years for vehicles, Office equipment, fixtures and furniture and others.

Costs related to repair and maintenance activities are expensed in the period in which they are incurred unless leading to an extension of the original lifetime or capacity.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

The Company accounts for goodwill and intangible assets in accordance with ASC 350 “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other”. ASC 350 requires that goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives be tested for impairment annually or on an interim basis if events or circumstances indicate that the fair value of an asset has decreased below its carrying value.

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in business combinations. ASC 350 requires that goodwill be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level (operating segment or one level below an operating segment) on an annual basis and between annual tests when circumstances indicate that the recoverability of the carrying amount of goodwill may be in doubt. Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assigning assets and liabilities to reporting units, assigning goodwill to reporting units, and determining the fair value. Significant judgment is required to estimate the fair value of reporting units including estimating future cash flows, determining appropriate discount rates and other assumptions. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and/or goodwill impairment.

eMARINE Global Inc.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2019 AND 2018

The Company’s business includes one goodwill reporting unit. The Company annually reviews goodwill for possible impairment by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit to reporting unit’s carrying amount. If the fair value exceeds the carrying amount, no goodwill impairment is deemed to exist. If the fair value does not exceed the carrying amount, goodwill is tested for impairment and written down to its implied fair value if it is determined to be impaired. The Company performs its annual goodwill impairment test at December 31 on an annual basis.

Identifiable intangible assets are recorded at cost, or when acquired as part of a business acquisition, at estimated fair value. The Company periodically evaluates identifiable intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

Amortization is computed utilizing the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of 5 years for industrial property rights, software and others. Amortizable intangible assets are only evaluated for impairment upon a significant change in the operating or macroeconomic environment. If an evaluation of the undiscounted future cash flows indicates impairment, the asset is written down to its estimated fair value, which is based on its discounted future cash flows. Based upon its qualitative assessment, the Company determined that intangible assets were not impaired on December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Pension

The amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements relating to employees’ severance payments and pension plans are determined on an actuarial basis utilizing certain assumptions in the calculation of such amounts. The assumptions used in determining net periodic costs and liabilities for employees’ severance payments include discount rate, rate of increase in compensation levels, average remaining years of service and other factors.

Preferred Stock

The Company accounts for preferred stock in accordance with ASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities From Equity”. ASC 480 requires, when determining the classification and measurement of its preferred stock, preferred shares subject to mandatory redemption would be classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value.

Conditionally redeemable preferred shares (including preferred shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) would be classified as temporary equity. At all other times, preferred shares are classified as stockholders’ equity.

Research and Development

Research and development expenditures for the Company’s projects are expensed as incurred. Research and development costs were ￦164,743 thousand and ￦374,944 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and are reported within selling, general and administrative expenses.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the provision of ASC 740-10, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“ASC 740-10”), which requires, among other things, an asset and liability approach to calculating deferred income taxes. The asset and liability approach requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is provided to offset any net deferred tax assets for which management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax asset will not be realized. Tax positions that meet the more likely than not recognition threshold are measured at the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority.

The Company follows the provision of ASC 740-10 related to Accounting for Uncertain Income Tax Positions. When tax returns are filed, there may be uncertainty about the merits of positions taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. In accordance with the guidance of ASC 740-10, the benefit of a tax position is recognized in the consolidated financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions.

The portion of the benefit associated with tax positions taken that exceed the amount measured as described above should be reflected as a liability for uncertain tax benefits in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. The Company believes its tax positions are all more likely than not to be upheld upon examination. As such, the Company has not recorded a liability for uncertain tax benefits.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Earnings (loss) per share are calculated in accordance with ASC 260 “Earnings Per Share,” which provides for the calculation of “basic” and “diluted” earnings (loss) per share. Basic earnings (loss) per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflect, in periods in which they have a dilutive effect, the effect of common shares issuable upon exercise of stock options. The following securities were not included in the diluted net loss per share calculation because their effect was anti-dilutive for the periods presented.

	December 31, 2019		December 31, 2018
Common stock warrants		12,916,688		12,916,688
Potential dilutive shares		12,916,688		12,916,688

These shares were excluded due to their antidilutive effect.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires lessees to recognize leases on-balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. Topic 842 was subsequently amended by ASU No. 2018-01, Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842; ASU No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases; and ASU No. 2018-11, Targeted Improvements. The new standard establishes a right-of-use model (ROU) that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement.

eMARINE Global Inc.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2019 AND 2018

These ASUs are effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted these ASUs, using modified retrospective transition approach.

A modified retrospective transition approach is required, applying the new standard to all leases existing at the date of initial application. An entity may choose to use either (1) its effective date or (2) the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements as its date of initial application. The adopted the effective date as the date of initial application. Consequently, financial information will not be updated and the disclosures required under the new standard will not be provided for dates and periods before January 1, 2019.

On adoption, the Company recognized additional operating liabilities of ￦318,835 thousand, with corresponding ROU assets of the same amount based on the present value of the remaining minimum rental payments under current leasing standards for existing operating leases.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. This ASU eliminates Step 2 along with amending other parts of the goodwill impairment test. Under ASU 2017-04, an entity should perform its annual or interim goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount, and should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value with the loss not exceeding the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods therein with early adoption permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017. At adoption, this update will require a prospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on the Company’s operations, financial position, cash flows and disclosures.

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption. The Company does not discuss recent pronouncements that are not anticipated to have an impact on or are unrelated to its financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.

NOTE 15 — REVENUE CLASSES

Revenue from the sale of products and services is recorded when the performance obligation is fulfilled, usually at the time of shipment or when the service is provided, at the net sales price (transaction price). The Company elected to present revenue net of value added tax and other similar taxes and account for shipping and handling activities as fulfillment costs rather than separate performance obligations.

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the following five-step model:

	●	identify arrangements with customers;
	●	identify performance obligations;
	●	determine transaction price;
	●	allocate transaction price to the separate performance obligations in the arrangement, if more than one exists; and
	●	recognize revenue as performance obligations are satisfied.

Accounting Policy

Revenue for sale of goods is recognized when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the customer, recovery of the consideration is probable, the associated costs and possible return of the goods can be estimated reliably, there is no continuing involvement with goods, and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. If it is probable that discounts will be granted and the amount can be measured reliably, then the discount is recognized as a reduction of revenue as the sales are recognized.
