The information in this prospectus is not complete and may be changed. These securities may not be sold until the registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission is effective. This preliminary prospectus is not an offer to sell these securities and is not soliciting an offer to buy these securities in any state where the offer or sale is not permitted.

 

AB International Group Corp.

21,444,261 Shares of Common Stock

 

Peak One (the selling stockholder identified in this prospectus) may offer up to 21,444,261 shares of common stock to be used for drawdowns and warrant exercises in connection with the Financing Agreement. If issued presently, the 21,444,261 shares of Common Stock registered for resale by Peak One would represent approximately 21.6% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock as of December 10, 2020. Additionally, as of December 10, 2020, the 21,444,261 shares of Common Stock registered for resale herein would represent approximately 14.6% of the Company’s public float. In connection with a prior registration statement on Form S-1, (File No. 333-246252), Peak One sold 6,218,746 shares of common stock. Because the total amount of shares to be sold pursuant to the Financing Agreement may not exceed one-third of our public float in a 12 month period, the 6,218,746 shares already sold by Peak One must be added to the amount registered in this offering, or 21,444,261 shares, for a total amount of 27,663,007 shares, which collectively is 18.0% of our public float.

 

Peak One (the selling stockholder identified in this prospectus) may sell all or a portion of the shares being offered pursuant to this prospectus at fixed prices and prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at varying prices, or at negotiated prices.

 

We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares of our common stock by Peak One. However, we will receive proceeds from our initial sale of shares to Peak One pursuant to the Financing Agreement. We will sell shares to Peak One at a price equal to the lesser of the lowest closing price preceding the put date, or 88% of the lowest closing price of our common stock during the ten (10) consecutive trading day period beginning on the date on which we deliver a put notice to Peak One (the “Market Price”).

 

Peak One is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act of 1933.

 

Peak One may sell the shares of common stock described in this Prospectus in a number of different ways and at varying prices. See “Plan of Distribution” for more information about how Peak One may sell the shares of common stock being registered pursuant to this Prospectus.

 

Our common stock is traded on OTC Markets under the symbol “ABQQ”. On December 10, 2020, the reported closing price for our common stock was $0.0096 per share.

 

Prior to this offering, there has been a very limited market for our securities. While our common stock is on the OTC Markets, there has been negligible trading volume. There is no guarantee that an active trading market will develop in our securities.

 

This offering is highly speculative and these securities involve a high degree of risk and should be considered only by persons who can afford the loss of their entire investment. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 10. Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

Risk Related to Covid 19

 

Our business and future operations may be adversely affected by epidemics and pandemics, such as the recent COVID-19 outbreak.

We may face risks related to health epidemics and pandemics or other outbreaks of communicable diseases, which could result in a widespread health crisis that could adversely affect general commercial activity and the economies and financial markets of the country as a whole. For example, the recent outbreak of COVID-19, which began in China, has been declared by the World Health Organization to be a “pandemic,” has spread across the globe, including the United States of America.

A health epidemic or pandemic or other outbreak of communicable diseases, such as the current COVID-19 pandemic, poses the risk that we, or potential business partners may be disrupted or prevented from conducting business activities for certain periods of time, the durations of which are uncertain, and may otherwise experience significant impairments of business activities, including due to, among other things, operational shutdowns or suspensions that may be requested or mandated by national or local governmental authorities or self-imposed by us, our customers or other business partners. While it is not possible at this time to estimate the impact that COVID-19 could have on our business, potential customers, potential suppliers or other current or potential business partners, the continued spread of COVID-19, the measures taken by the local and federal government, actions taken to protect employees, and the impact of the pandemic on various business activities could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

The COVID-19 pandemic has required our management to focus their attention primarily on responding to the challenges presented by the pandemic, including ensuring continuous operations, and adjusting our operations to address changes in the virtual payments industry. Due to measures imposed by the local governments in areas affected by COVID-19, businesses have been suspended due to quarantine intended to contain this outbreak and many people have been forced to work from home in those areas. As a result, advertiser merchants orders for event has been suspended, which has had an adverse impact on our business and financial condition and has hampered our ability to generate revenue and access usual sources of liquidity on reasonable terms.

“Ai Bian Quan Qiu” utilizes the artificial intelligence (AI) matching technology to instantly and accurately match performers and advertisers or merchants. The company charges agency service fees for each successful event matched through the platform. It’s one of our main business and revenue streaming. Since no large social gathering is allowed as a result of COVID-19, there has been no revenue generated from the performance matching platform (Ai Bian Quan Qiu) since the end of January, 2020. In February of 2020, the Company decided that 80% of the carrying amount of Ai Bian Quan Qiu platform and its Wechat official account should be impaired. The platform operating hasn’t restart, most of the users are no longer use this services.

Risks Associated With Doing Business in Hong Kong

Political consideration of Hong Kong 

While we are planning to move our principal business location to New York in the near future, our business operations are principally based in Hong Kong. Accordingly, our business operation and financial conditions will be affected by the political and legal developments in Hong Kong. Any adverse economic, social and/or political conditions, material social unrest, strike, riot, civil disturbance or disobedience, as well as significant natural disasters, may affect the market may adversely affect our business operations. Hong Kong is a special administrative region of the PRC and the basic policies of the PRC regarding Hong Kong are reflected in the Basic Law, namely, Hong Kong’s constitutional document, which provides Hong Kong with a high degree of autonomy and executive, legislative and independent judicial powers, including that of final adjudication under the principle of “one country, two systems”. However, there is no assurance that there will not be any changes in the economic, political and legal environment in Hong Kong in the future. Since a substantial part of our operations is based in Hong Kong, any change of such political arrangements may pose immediate threat to the stability of the economy in Hong Kong, thereby directly and adversely affecting our results of operations and financial positions.

 

The Hong Kong protests that begun in 2019 are ongoing protests in Hong Kong (the “Hong Kong Protests”) triggered by the introduction of the Fugitive Offenders amendment bill by the Hong Kong government. If enacted, the bill would have allowed the extradition of criminal fugitives who are wanted in territories with which Hong Kong does not currently have extradition agreements, including mainland China. This led to concerns that the bill would subject Hong Kong residents and visitors to the jurisdiction and legal system of mainland China, thereby undermining the region’s autonomy and people’s civil liberties. Various sectors of the Hong Kong economy have been adversely affected as the protests turned increasingly violent. Most notably, the airline, retail, and real estate sectors have seen their sales decline.

Under the Basic Law of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China, Hong Kong is exclusively in charge of its internal affairs and external relations, while the government of the PRC is responsible for its foreign affairs and defense. As a separate customs territory, Hong Kong maintains and develops relations with foreign states and regions. We cannot assure that the Hong Kong Protests will not affect Hong Kong’s status as a Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China and thereby affecting its current relations with foreign states and regions.

Our revenue is susceptible to the ongoing Hong Kong Protests as well as any other incidents or factors which affect the stability of the social, economic and political conditions in Hong Kong. Any drastic events may adversely affect our business operations. Such adverse events may include changes in economic conditions and regulatory environment, social and/or political conditions, civil disturbance or disobedience, as well as significant natural disasters. Given the relatively small geographical size of Hong Kong, any of such incidents may have a widespread effect on our business operations, which could in turn adversely and materially affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We cannot assure that the Hong Kong Protests will end in the near future and that there will be no other political or social unrest in the near future or that there will not be other events that could lead to the disruption of the economic, political and social conditions in Hong Kong. If such events persist for a prolonged period of time or that the economic, political and social conditions in Hong Kong are to be disrupted, our overall business and results of operations may be adversely affected.

Costs of conducting business in Hong Kong and globally

Because we operate our business in Hong Kong and other countries, our business is subject to risks associated with doing business globally. Accordingly, our business and financial results in the future could be adversely affected due to a variety of factors, including: changes in a specific country’s or region’s political and cultural climate or economic condition; unexpected changes in laws and regulatory requirements in local jurisdictions; difficulty of effective enforcement of contractual provisions in local jurisdictions; inadequate intellectual property protection in certain countries; enforcement of anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws; trade-protection measures, import or export licensing requirements and fines, penalties or suspension or revocation of export privileges; the effects of applicable local tax regimes and potentially adverse tax consequences; and significant adverse changes in local currency exchange rates.

Risks Related to Our Financial Condition and Business

 

Because we have a limited operating history, you may not be able to accurately evaluate our operations.

 

We are a startup company. We have had limited operations to date and have generated limited revenues. Therefore, we have a limited operating history upon which to evaluate the merits of investing in our company. Potential investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by new companies and the high rate of failure of such enterprises.  The likelihood of success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays encountered in connection with the operations that we plan to undertake.  These potential problems include, but are not limited to, unanticipated problems relating to the ability to generate sufficient cash flow to operate our business, and additional costs and expenses that may exceed current estimates. We expect to incur significant losses into the foreseeable future.  We recognize that if the effectiveness of our business plan is not forthcoming, we will not be able to continue business operations.   There is no history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that we will prove successful, and it is doubtful that we will continue to generate operating revenues or ever achieve profitable operations.  If we are unsuccessful in addressing these risks, our business will most likely fail.

 

 

We are dependent on outside financing for continuation of our operations.

 

Because we have generated limited revenues and currently operate at a loss, we are completely dependent on the continued availability of financing in order to continue our business. There can be no assurance that financing sufficient to enable us to continue our operations will be available to us in the future.

 

We have sold several convertible promissory notes with discount to market conversions that have the effect of driving down our stock price, from which we may never recover.

 

In 2019 and 2020, we have issued several convertible promissory notes to accredited investors. These notes contain terms that allow for discounted conversions from the company’s stock price, with most at a 40% discount. These notes also contain strict terms for compliance and penalty provisions that could cost us more than the principal and accrued interest. They also have most favored nation clauses that force us to offer more favorable terms in subsequent offerings. If we are unable to secure a better form of financing, or pay off the notes before they convert, we could experience a significant drop in our stock price and face other negative consequences. Because we are penny stock, and there is a limited market for our shares, investor may not be able to recoup their investment and noteholders may not be able to sell their converted shares into the market. We may be forced to pay off the convertible debt, with existing or raised funds, which might not be available. We could be at risk of default with the noteholders. If that happens, we may be forced to defend the lawsuits, liquidate assets, etc., which would be costly and turn management’s attention away from the business. We could go out of business and you could lose your entire investment.

 

Investors may experience dilution of their ownership interests because of the future issuance of additional shares of our common stock.

 

We may issue additional shares of our common stock or other securities that are convertible into or exercisable for common stock in the future in connection with hiring or retaining employees, future acquisitions, future sales of our securities for capital raising purposes, or for other business purposes, resulting in the dilution of the ownership interests of our stockholders at that time. At December 10, 2020, we had convertible notes with an aggregate principal amount of $__________ that may convert into our common stock at a conversion price equal to a price which is a 40% discount to the lowest trading price in the twenty(20) days prior to the day that the Holder requests conversion and warrants to purchase an aggregate of __________ shares of our common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $___ per share. We had to reduce the exercise price per share of certain of the warrants as result of a provision that allows the holder to reduce the exercise price in the event of a more favored exercised price used by the company. The adjustment to $0.01672 per share resulted from our issuing such restricted stock at a price per share less than the exercise price of such warrants.

 

The exercise of such outstanding convertible notes and warrants and the future issuance of any such additional shares of common stock, will result in further dilution of your investment and may create downward pressure on the trading price of the common stock. There can also be no assurance that we will not be required to issue additional shares, warrants or other convertible securities in the future in conjunction with any capital raising efforts, including at a price (or exercise prices) below the price at which shares of our common stock are currently traded on the OTCQB, and new investors could gain rights superior to those of our stockholders at that time.

 

Risks Related to Legal Uncertainty

 

Compliance with changing regulation of corporate governance and public disclosure may result in additional expenses.

 

Changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and new SEC regulations, are creating uncertainty for companies such as ours. These new or changed laws, regulations and standards are subject to varying interpretations in many cases due to their lack of specificity, and as a result, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies, which could result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance practices. We are committed to maintaining high standards of corporate governance and public disclosure. As a result, we intend to invest resources to comply with evolving laws, regulations and standards, and this investment may result in increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities. If our efforts to comply with new or changed laws, regulations and standards differ from the activities intended by regulatory or governing bodies due to ambiguities related to practice, our reputation may be harmed.

 

If we fail to comply with the new rules under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act related to accounting controls and procedures, or if material weaknesses or other deficiencies are discovered in our internal accounting procedures, our stock price could decline significantly.

 

We are exposed to potential risks from legislation requiring companies to evaluate internal controls under Section 404(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. As a smaller reporting company and emerging growth company, we will not be required to provide a report on the effectiveness of its internal controls over financial reporting until our second annual report, and we will be exempt from auditor attestation requirements concerning any such report so long as we are an emerging growth company or a smaller reporting company. We have not yet evaluated whether our internal control procedures are effective and therefore there is a greater likelihood of material weaknesses in our internal controls, which could lead to misstatements or omissions in our reported financial statements as compared to issuers that have conducted such evaluations.

  

If material weaknesses and deficiencies are detected, it could cause investors to lose confidence in our company and result in a decline in our stock price and consequently affect our financial condition. In addition, if we fail to achieve and maintain the adequacy of our internal controls, we may not be able to ensure that we can conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal controls over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Moreover, effective internal controls, particularly those related to revenue recognition, are necessary for us to produce reliable financial reports and are important to helping prevent financial fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our business and operating results could be harmed, investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information, and the trading price of our common stock could drop significantly. In addition, we cannot be certain that additional material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in our internal controls will not be discovered in the future.

 

 

Risks Associated with Management and Control Persons

 

If we fail to attract and retain qualified senior executive and key technical personnel, our business will not be able to expand.

 

We are dependent on the continued availability of Chiyuan Deng, and the availability of new employees to implement our business plans. The market for skilled employees is highly competitive, especially for employees in the service industry. Although we expect that our compensation programs will be intended to attract and retain the employees required for us to be successful, there can be no assurance that we will be able to retain the services of all our key employees or a sufficient number to execute our plans, nor can there be any assurance we will be able to continue to attract new employees as required.

 

Our personnel may voluntarily terminate their relationship with us at any time, and competition for qualified personnel is intense. The process of locating additional personnel with the combination of skills and attributes required to carry out our strategy could be lengthy, costly and disruptive.

 

If we lose the services of key personnel, or fail to replace the services of key personnel who depart, we could experience a severe negative effect on our financial results and stock price. In addition, there is intense competition for highly qualified bilingual and “people friendly” personnel in the locations where we principally operate. The loss of the services of any key personnel, marketing or other personnel or our failure to attract, integrate, motivate and retain additional key employees could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating and financial results and stock price.

 

Mr. Deng owns a significant percentage of the voting power of our stock and will be able to exercise significant influence over the composition of our Board of Directors, matters subject to stockholder approval and our operations.

 

As of the date of this filing, Chiyuan Deng owns 100,000 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock, which has the voting power of 51% of the total vote of shareholders. As a result of his equity ownership interest, voting power and the contractual rights described above, Mr. Deng currently is in a position to influence, subject to our organizational documents and Nevada law, the composition of our Board of Directors and the outcome of corporate actions requiring stockholder approval, such as mergers, business combinations and dispositions of assets, among other corporate transactions. In addition, this concentration of voting power could discourage others from initiating a potential merger, takeover or other change of control transaction that may otherwise be beneficial to us, which could adversely affect the market price of our securities.

 

Risks Related to Our Legal Status

 

As an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act, we are permitted to rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements.

 

We qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. As a result, we are permitted to, and intend to, rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements. For so long as we are an emerging growth company, we will not be required to:

 

▪

have an auditor report on our internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;

 

▪

comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (i.e., an auditor discussion and analysis);

 

▪

submit certain executive compensation matters to shareholder advisory votes, such as “say-on-pay” and “say-on-frequency;” and

 

▪

disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the Chief Executive’s compensation to median employee compensation.

  

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 for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Our financial statements may therefore not be comparable to those of companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.

 

 

We will remain 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 total annual gross revenues exceed $1 billion, (ii) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which would occur if the market value of our ordinary shares that is 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.

 

Even if we no longer qualify for the exemptions for an emerging growth company, we may still be, in certain circumstances, subject to scaled disclosure requirements as a smaller reporting company. For example, smaller reporting companies, like emerging growth companies, are not required to provide a compensation discussion and analysis under Item 402(b) of Regulation S-K or auditor attestation of internal controls over financial reporting.

 

Until such time, however, we cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.

 

Risks Related to Our Securities and the Over the Counter Market

 

If a market for our common stock does not develop, shareholders may be unable to sell their shares.

 

Our common stock is quoted under the symbol “ABQQ” on the OTCQB operated by OTC Markets Group, Inc, an electronic inter-dealer quotation medium for equity securities. We do not currently have an active trading market. There can be no assurance that an active and liquid trading market will develop or, if developed, that it will be sustained.

 

Our securities are very thinly traded. Accordingly, it may be difficult to sell shares of our common stock without significantly depressing the value of the stock. Unless we are successful in developing continued investor interest in our stock, sales of our stock could continue to result in major fluctuations in the price of the stock. 

 

Our common stock price may be volatile and could fluctuate widely in price, which could result in substantial losses for investors.

 

The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including:

 

• technological innovations or new products and services by us or our competitors;
• government regulation of our products and services;
• the establishment of partnerships with other technology companies;
• intellectual property disputes;
• additions or departures of key personnel;
• sales of our common stock
• our ability to integrate operations, technology, products and services;
• our ability to execute our business plan;
• operating results below expectations;
• loss of any strategic relationship;
• industry developments;
• economic and other external factors; and
• period to period fluctuations in our financial results.

Because we have nominal revenues to date, you should consider any one of these factors to be material. Our stock price may fluctuate widely as a result of any of the above.

  

In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

 

 

As a new investor, you will experience substantial dilution as a result of future equity issuances.

 

In the event we are required to raise additional capital it may do so by selling additional shares of common stock thereby diluting the shares and ownership interests of existing shareholders.

 

Our stock is a penny stock. Trading of our stock may be restricted by the SEC’s penny stock regulations and FINRA’s sales practice requirements, which may limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.

 

Our stock is a penny stock. The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which generally defines “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors”. The term “accredited investor” refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The 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 in a form prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of 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 bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in, and limit the marketability of, our common stock.

 

In addition to the “penny stock” rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority believes that there is a high probability that speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority’ requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock.

 

Rule 144 sales in the future may have a depressive effect on our stock price as an increase in supply of shares for sale, with no corresponding increase in demand will cause prices to fall.

 

All of the outstanding shares of common stock held by the present officers, directors, and affiliate stockholders are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. As restricted shares, these shares may be resold only pursuant to an effective registration statement or under the requirements of Rule 144 or other applicable exemptions from registration under the Act and as required under applicable state securities laws. Rule 144 provides in essence that a person who is an affiliate or officer or director who has held restricted securities for six months may, under certain conditions, sell every three months, in brokerage transactions, a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of 1.0% of a company’s outstanding common stock. There is no limit on the amount of restricted securities that may be sold by a non-affiliate after the owner has held the restricted securities for a period of six months if the company is a current reporting company under the 1934 Act. A sale under Rule 144 or under any other exemption from the Act, if available, or pursuant to subsequent registration of shares of common stock of present stockholders, may have a depressive effect upon the price of the common stock in any market that may develop.  

 

 

FINRA sales practice requirements may also limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.

 

In addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.

 

Failure to achieve and maintain effective internal controls in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.

 

It may be time consuming, difficult and costly for us to develop and implement the additional internal controls, processes and reporting procedures required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We may need to hire additional financial reporting, internal auditing and other finance staff in order to develop and implement appropriate additional internal controls, processes and reporting procedures.

 

If we fail to comply in a timely manner with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act regarding internal control over financial reporting or to remedy any material weaknesses in our internal controls that we may identify, such failure could result in material misstatements in our financial statements, cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and have a negative effect on the trading price of our common stock.

 

Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and current SEC regulations, we are required to prepare assessments regarding internal controls over financial reporting and, furnish a report by our management on our internal control over financial reporting. We have begun the process of documenting and testing our internal control procedures in order to satisfy these requirements, which is likely to result in increased general and administrative expenses and may shift management time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities. While our management is expending significant resources in an effort to complete this important project, there can be no assurance that we will be able to achieve our objective on a timely basis. Failure to achieve and maintain an effective internal control environment or complete our Section 404 certifications could have a material adverse effect on our stock price.

 

In addition, in connection with our on-going assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, we may discover “material weaknesses” in our internal controls as defined in standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or the PCAOB. A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. The PCAOB defines “significant deficiency” as a deficiency that results in more than a remote likelihood that a misstatement of the financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected.

 

In the event that a material weakness is identified, we will employ qualified personnel and adopt and implement policies and procedures to address any material weaknesses that we identify. However, the process of designing and implementing effective internal controls is a continuous effort that requires us to anticipate and react to changes in our business and the economic and regulatory environments and to expend significant resources to maintain a system of internal controls that is adequate to satisfy our reporting obligations as a public company. We cannot assure you that the measures we will take will remediate any material weaknesses that we may identify or that we will implement and maintain adequate controls over our financial process and reporting in the future.

 

Any failure to complete our assessment of our internal control over financial reporting, to remediate any material weaknesses that we may identify or to implement new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation, could harm our operating results, cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations or result in material misstatements in our financial statements. Any such failure could also adversely affect the results of the periodic management evaluations of our internal controls and, in the case of a failure to remediate any material weaknesses that we may identify, would adversely affect the annual auditor attestation reports regarding the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting that are required under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Inadequate internal controls could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our common stock.

 

 

We do not intend to pay dividends.

 

We do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. We may not have sufficient funds to legally pay dividends. Even if funds are legally available to pay dividends, we may nevertheless decide in our sole discretion not to pay dividends. 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 our board of directors may consider relevant. There is no assurance that we will pay any dividends in the future, and, if dividends are rapid, there is no assurance with respect to the amount of any such dividend.

 

Risks Related to the Offering

 

Our existing stockholders may experience significant dilution from the sale of our common stock pursuant ot the Peak One Financing Agreement.

 

The sale of our common stock to Peak One in accordance with the Financing Agreement may have a dilutive impact on our shareholders. As a result, the market price of our common stock could decline. In addition, the lower our stock price is at the time we exercise our put options, the more shares of our common stock we will have to issue to Peak One in order to exercise a put under the Financing Agreement. If our stock price decreases, then our existing shareholders would experience greater dilution for any given dollar amount raised through the offering.

 

The perceived risk of dilution may cause our stockholders to sell their shares, which may cause a decline in the price of our common stock. Moreover, the perceived risk of dilution and the resulting downward pressure on our stock price could encourage investors to engage in short sales of our common stock. By increasing the number of shares offered for sale, material amounts of short selling could further contribute to progressive price declines in our common stock.

 

The issuance of shares pursuant to the Peak One Financing Agreement may have significant dilutive effect.

 

Depending on the number of shares we issue pursuant to the Peak One Financing Agreement, it could have a significant dilutive effect upon our existing shareholders. Although the number of shares that we may issue pursuant to the Financing Agreement will vary based on our stock price (the higher our stock price, the less shares we have to issue), there may be a potential dilutive effect to our shareholders, based on different potential future stock prices, if the full amount of the Financing Agreement is realized. Dilution is based upon common stock put to Peak One and the stock price discounted to the lesser of the lowest closing price preceding the put date, or 88% of the lowest closing price of our common stock during the ten (10) consecutive trading day period beginning on the date on which we deliver a put notice to Peak One (the “Market Price”)..

 

Peak One will pay less than the then-prevailing market price of our common stock which could cause the price of our common stock to decline.

 

Our common stock to be issued under the Peak One Financing Agreement will be purchased at the lesser of the lowest closing price preceding the put date, or 88% of the lowest closing price of our common stock during the ten (10) consecutive trading day period beginning on the date on which we deliver a put notice to Peak One (the “Market Price”)..

 

Peak One has a financial incentive to sell our shares immediately upon receiving them to realize the profit between the discounted price and the market price. If Peak One sells our shares, the price of our common stock may decrease. If our stock price decreases, Peak One may have further incentive to sell such shares. Accordingly, the discounted sales price in the Financing Agreement may cause the price of our common stock to decline.

 

We may not have access to the full amount under the Financing Agreement.

 

The lowest closing price of the Company’s common stock during the ten (10) consecutive trading day period immediately preceding the filing of this Registration Statement was approximately $0.0069. At that price we would be able to sell shares to Peak One under the Financing Agreement at the discounted price of $0.006072. At that discounted price, the 21,444,261 shares of Common Stock to be issued in connection with the Financing Agreement would only represent approximately $130,209, which is far below $10,000,000 (the full amount of the Financing Agreement).

 

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This prospectus contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements give our current expectations or forecasts of future events. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties and include statements regarding, among other things, our projected revenue growth and profitability, our growth strategies and opportunity, anticipated trends in our market and our anticipated needs for working capital. They are generally identifiable by use of the words “may,” “will,” “should,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plans,” “potential,” “projects,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expects,” “management believes,” “we believe,” “we intend” or the negative of these words or other variations on these words or comparable terminology. These statements may be found under the sections entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Business,” as well as in this prospectus generally. In particular, these include statements relating to future actions, prospective products, market acceptance, future performance or results of current and anticipated products, sales efforts, expenses, and the outcome of contingencies such as legal proceedings and financial results.

 

Examples of forward-looking statements in this prospectus include, but are not limited to, our expectations regarding our business strategy, business prospects, operating results, operating expenses, working capital, liquidity and capital expenditure requirements. Important assumptions relating to the forward-looking statements include, among others, assumptions regarding demand for our products, the cost, terms and availability of components, pricing levels, the timing and cost of capital expenditures, competitive conditions and general economic conditions. These statements are based on our management’s expectations, beliefs and assumptions concerning future events affecting us, which in turn are based on currently available information. These assumptions could prove inaccurate. Although we believe that the estimates and projections reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, our expectations may prove to be incorrect.

Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results and events anticipated or implied by such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:

	●	changes in the market acceptance of our products;
	●	increased levels of competition;
	●	changes in political, economic or regulatory conditions generally and in the markets in which we operate;
	●	our relationships with our key customers;
	●	our ability to retain and attract senior management and other key employees;
	●	our ability to quickly and effectively respond to new technological developments;
	●	our ability to protect our trade secrets or other proprietary rights, operate without infringing upon the proprietary rights of others and prevent others from infringing on the proprietary rights of the Company; and
	●	other risks, including those described in the “Risk Factors” discussion of this prospectus.

 

We operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for us to predict all of those risks, nor can we assess the impact of all of those risks on our business or the extent to which any factor may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. The forward-looking statements in this prospectus are based on assumptions management believes are reasonable. However, due to the uncertainties associated with forward-looking statements, you should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Further, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and unless required by law, we expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to publicly update any of them in light of new information, future events, or otherwise.

 

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares of our Common Stock by Peak One (the selling stockholder identified in this prospectus). However, we will receive proceeds from our initial sale of shares to Peak One, pursuant to the Financing Agreement. We will also receive proceeds if the warrant issued to Peak One is exercised for cash. The proceeds from the initial sale of shares will be used for the purpose of working capital or for other purposes that the Board of Directors, in good faith deem to be in the best interest of the Company.

 

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE

 

We have not set an offering price for the shares registered hereunder, as the only shares being registered are those sold pursuant to the Peak One Financing Agreement. Peak One may sell all or a portion of the shares being offered pursuant to this prospectus at fixed prices and prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at varying prices or at negotiated prices.

 

DILUTION

 

Not applicable. The shares registered under this registration statement are not being offered for purchase by the Company. The shares are being registered on behalf of Peak One (the selling stockholder identified in this prospectus) pursuant to the Peak One Financing Agreement. 

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

Peak One (the selling stockholder identified in this prospectus) may offer up to 21,444,261 shares of common stock to be used for drawdowns and warrant exercises in connection with the Financing Agreement. If issued presently, the shares of common stock registered for resale by Peak One would represent approximately 14.6% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock as of December 10, 2020 and 18.0% of our public float when the prior registered offering of 6,218,746 shares are added to it.

 

We may require Peak One (the selling stockholder identified in this prospectus) to suspend the sales of the shares of our common stock being offered pursuant to this prospectus upon the occurrence of any event that makes any statement in this prospectus or the related registration statement untrue in any material respect or that requires the changing of statements in those documents in order to make statements in those documents not misleading.

 

Peak One (the selling stockholder identified in this prospectus) may from time to time offer and sell under this prospectus any or all of the shares of common stock described under the column “Shares of Common Stock Being Offered” in the table below.

 

Peak One will be deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act. Any profits realized by Peak One (the selling stockholder identified in this prospectus) may be deemed to be underwriting commissions.

 

Information concerning the selling stockholder may change from time to time and, if necessary, we will amend or supplement this prospectus accordingly. We cannot give an estimate as to the number of shares of common stock that will actually be held by the selling stockholder upon termination of this offering, because the selling stockholders may offer some or all of the common stock under the offering contemplated by this prospectus or acquire additional shares of common stock. The total number of shares that may be sold, hereunder, will not exceed the number of shares offered, hereby. Please read the section entitled “Plan of Distribution” in this prospectus.

 

The manner in which Peak One (the selling stockholder identified in this prospectus) acquired or will acquire shares of our common stock is discussed below under “The Offering.”

 

The following table sets forth the name of each selling stockholder, the number of shares of our common stock beneficially owned by such stockholder before this offering, the number of shares to be offered for such stockholder’s account and the number and (if one percent or more) the percentage of the class to be beneficially owned by such stockholder after completion of the offering. The number of shares owned are those beneficially owned, as determined under the rules of the SEC, and such information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under such rules, beneficial ownership includes any shares of our common stock as to which a person has sole or shared voting power or investment power and any shares of common stock which the person has the right to acquire within 60 days, through the exercise of any option, warrant or right, through conversion of any security or pursuant to the automatic termination of a power of attorney or revocation of a trust, discretionary account or similar arrangement, and such shares are deemed to be beneficially owned and outstanding for computing the share ownership and percentage of the person holding such options, warrants or other rights, but are not deemed outstanding for computing the percentage of any other person. Beneficial ownership percentages are calculated based on 125,032,949 shares of our common stock outstanding as of December 10, 2020.

 

 

Unless otherwise set forth below, (a) the persons and entities named in the table have sole voting and sole investment power with respect to the shares set forth opposite the selling stockholder’s name, subject to community property laws, where applicable, and (b) no selling stockholder had any position, office or other material relationship within the past three years, with us or with any of our predecessors or affiliates. The number of shares of common stock shown as beneficially owned before the offering is based on information furnished to us or otherwise based on information available to us at the timing of the filing of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

 

		Shares Owned by the Selling Stockholders		Shares of Common Stock				Number of Shares to be Owned by Selling Stockholder After the Offering and Percent of Total Issued and Outstanding Shares
Name of Selling Stockholder		before the Offering (1)		Being Offered				# of Shares (2)				% of Class (2)
Peak One Opportunity Fund, L.P. (3)		0			21,444,261 (4	)			0				0	%

 

Notes:

 

(1)

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission rules and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to shares of common stock. Shares of common stock subject to options, warrants and convertible debentures currently exercisable or convertible, or exercisable or convertible within 60 days, are counted as outstanding. The actual number of shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of the convertible debentures is subject to adjustment depending on, among other factors, the future market price of our common stock, and could be materially less or more than the number estimated in the table.

 

(2)

Because the selling stockholders may offer and sell all or only some portion of the 21,444,261 shares of our common stock being offered pursuant to this prospectus and may acquire additional shares of our common stock in the future, we can only estimate the number and percentage of shares of our common stock that any of the selling stockholders will hold upon termination of the offering.

 

(3)

Jason Goldstein, Manager of Peak One Opportunity Fund, L.P. exercises voting and dispositive power with respect to the shares of our common stock that are beneficially owned by Peak One Opportunity Fund, L.P.

 

(4)

Consists of up to 21,444,261 shares of Common Stock to be issued in connection with drawdowns and warrant exercises.

 

THE OFFERING

On July 30, 2020, we entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement (the “Financing Agreement”) with Peak One Opportunity Fund, L.P. (“Peak One”) Although we are not mandated to sell shares under the Financing Agreement, the Financing Agreement gives us the option to sell to Peak One, up to $10,000,000 worth of our common stock over the period ending twenty-four (24) months after the date this Registration Statement is deemed effective. Peak One (the selling stockholder identified in this prospectus) may offer up to 21,444,261 shares of common stock to be used for drawdowns and warrant exercises in connection with the Financing Agreement.

 

On July 30, 2020, we also entered into a registration rights agreement with Peak One (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) whereby we are obligated to file a registration statement to register the resale of the purchase shares. The Registration Statement of which this prospectus forms a part is being filed to comply with the Registration Rights Agreement. We must our reasonable efforts to keep the registration statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until all of the Warrant Shares and purchase shares have been sold there under or pursuant to Rule 144.

 

There is no assurance the market price of our common stock will increase in the future. The number of common shares that remain issuable may not be sufficient, dependent upon the share price, to allow us to access the full amount contemplated under the Financing Agreement. If the bid/ask spread remains the same we will not be able to place a put for the full commitment under the Financing Agreement. Based on the lowest closing price of our common stock during the ten (10) consecutive trading day period preceding the filing date of this registration statement of $$0.0069, the registration statement covers the offer and possible sale of approximately $130,209 worth of our shares (a discounted price of $0.006072) which is far below $10,000,000 (the full amount of the Financing Agreement).

 

 

Peak One is not permitted to engage in short sales involving our common stock during the term of the commitment period. In accordance with Regulation SHO, however, sales of our common stock by Peak One after delivery of a put notice of such number of shares reasonably expected to be purchased by Peak One under a put will not be deemed a short sale.

 

In addition, we must deliver the other required documents, instruments and writings required. Peak One is not required to purchase the put shares unless:

 

●

Our registration statement with respect to the resale of the shares of common stock delivered in connection with the applicable put shall have been declared effective;

 

●

We shall have obtained all material permits and qualifications required by any applicable state for the offer and sale of the registrable securities; and

 

●

We shall have filed all requisite reports, notices, and other documents with the SEC in a timely manner.

 

As we draw down on the equity line of credit, shares of our common stock will be sold into the market by Peak One. The sale of these shares could cause our stock price to decline. In turn, if our stock price declines and we issue more puts, more shares will come into the market, which could cause a further drop in our stock price. You should be aware that there is an inverse relationship between the market price of our common stock and the number of shares to be issued under the equity line of credit. If our stock price declines, we will be required to issue a greater number of shares under the equity line of credit. We have no obligation to utilize the full amount available under the equity line of credit.

 

Neither the Financing Agreement nor any of our rights or Peak One’s rights thereunder may be assigned to any other person.

 

 PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

Each of the selling stockholders named above and any of their pledgees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock on OTC Markets or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares of our common stock are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed prices and prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at varying prices or at negotiated prices. The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:

 

●

ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

 

●

block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

 

●

purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

 

●

privately negotiated transactions;

 

●

broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share; or

 

●

a combination of any such methods of sale.

 

Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA IM-2440.

 

Peak One is an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act of 1933. Peak One has informed us that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the common stock of our company. Pursuant to a requirement by FINRA, the maximum commission or discount to be received by any FINRA member or independent broker-dealer may not be greater than 8% of the gross proceeds received by us for the sale of any securities being registered pursuant to Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933.

  

Discounts, concessions, commissions and similar selling expenses, if any, attributable to the sale of shares will be borne by the selling stockholder. The selling stockholder may agree to indemnify any agent, dealer, or broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving sales of the shares if liabilities are imposed on that person under the Securities Act of 1933.

 

We are required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by us incident to the registration of the shares covered by this prospectus. We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933. We will not receive any proceeds from the resale of any of the shares of our common stock by the selling stockholders. We may, however, receive proceeds from the sale of our common stock under the Financing Agreement with Peak One.

We have not paid any dividends on our common stock since our inception and do not intend to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future.

 

The declaration of any future cash dividends is at the discretion of our board of directors and depends upon our earnings, if any, our capital requirements and financial position, our general economic conditions, and other pertinent conditions. It is our present intention not to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future, but rather to reinvest earnings, if any, in our business operations.

Anti-Takeover Effects of Various Provisions of Nevada Law

 

Provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes, our articles of incorporation, as amended, and bylaws could make it more difficult to acquire us by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or otherwise, or to remove incumbent officers and directors. These provisions, summarized below, would be expected to discourage certain types of takeover practices and takeover bids our Board may consider inadequate and to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with us. We believe that the benefits of increased protection of our ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure us will outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging takeover or acquisition proposals because, among other things, negotiation of these proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.

 

Blank Check Preferred

 

Our articles of incorporation permit our Board to issue preferred stock with voting, conversion and exchange rights that could negatively affect the voting power or other rights of our Common Stockholders. The issuance of our preferred stock could delay or prevent a change of control of our Company.

 

Amendments to our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws

 

Under the Nevada Revised Statutes, our articles of incorporation may not be amended by stockholder action alone.

 

Nevada Anti-Takeover Statute

 

We may be subject to Nevada’s Combination with Interested Stockholders Statute (Nevada Corporation Law Sections 78.411-78.444) which prohibits an “interested stockholder” from entering into a “combination” with the corporation, unless certain conditions are met. An “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, beneficially owns (or within the prior two years, did beneficially own) 10% or more of the corporation’s capital stock entitled to vote. 

Limitations on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors

 

The Nevada Revised Statutes limits or eliminates the personal liability of directors to corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of directors’ fiduciary duties as directors.

 

The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions under the Nevada Revised Statutes and in our articles of incorporation and bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duties. These provisions may also have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders. However, these provisions do not limit or eliminate our rights, or those of any stockholder, to seek non-monetary relief such as injunction or rescission in the event of a breach of a director’s fiduciary duties. Moreover, the provisions do not alter the liability of directors under the federal securities laws. In addition, your investment may be adversely affected to the extent that, in a class action or direct suit, we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions.

 

Authorized but Unissued Shares

 

Our authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock and preferred stock will be available for future issuance without stockholder approval, except as may be required under the listing rules of any stock exchange on which our Common Stock is then listed. We may use additional shares for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings to raise additional capital, corporate acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock and preferred stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.

 

Penny Stock Considerations

 

Our shares will be “penny stocks” as that term is generally defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to mean equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 per share. Thus, our shares will be subject to rules that impose sales practice and disclosure requirements on broker-dealers who engage in certain transactions involving a penny stock. Under the penny stock regulations, a broker-dealer selling a penny stock to anyone other than an established customer must make a special suitability determination regarding the purchaser and must receive the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the sale, unless the broker-dealer is otherwise exempt.

 

In addition, under the penny stock regulations, the broker-dealer is required to:

 

●

Deliver, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the penny stock market, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt;

 

●

Disclose commissions payable to the broker-dealer and our registered representatives and current bid and offer quotations for the securities;

 

●

Send monthly statements disclosing recent price information pertaining to the penny stock held in a customer’s account, the account’s value, and information regarding the limited market in penny stocks; and

 

●

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, prior to conducting any penny stock transaction in the customer’s account.

 

Because of these regulations, broker-dealers may encounter difficulties in their attempt to sell shares of our common stock, which may affect the ability of selling shareholders or other holders to sell their shares in the secondary market and have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market. These additional sales practice and disclosure requirements could impede the sale of our securities, if our securities become publicly traded. In addition, the liquidity for our securities may be decreased, with a corresponding decrease in the price of our securities. Our shares in all probability will be subject to such penny stock rules and our shareholders will, in all likelihood, find it difficult to sell their securities.

BUSINESS

 

Company Overview 

 

AB International Group Corp. (the "Company", "we" or "us") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on July 29, 2013 and originally intended to purchase used cars in the United States and sell them in Krygyzstan. The Company's fiscal year end is August 31.

 

We are an intellectual property (IP) and movie investment and licensing firm, focused on acquisitions and development of various intellectual property. We are engaged to acquisition and distribution of movies. We have a patent license to a video synthesis and release system for mobile communications equipment, in which the technology is the subject of a utility model patent in the People's Republic of China. We had launched a business application (Ai Bian Quan Qiu) through smartphones and official social media accounts based on WeChat platform in February 2019, utilizing Artificial Intelligence, it is a matching platform for performers, advertiser merchants, and owners for more efficient services. We generate revenues through an agency service fee from each matched performance

 

On January 22, 2016, our former sole officer, who owned 83% of our outstanding common shares, sold all of his common shares to unrelated investor Jianli Deng. After the stock sale, we modified our business to focus on the creation of a mobile app marketing engine. The app was designed for movie trailer promotions and we planned to generate a subscriber base of smartphone users primarily through pre-installed app smartphone makers, online app stores, WeChat official accounts, Weibo and other social network media outlets and sell prepaid cards or coins to movie distributors or other video advertisers in China. We created the app “Amoney” for the Android smartphone platform to develop a WeChat micro-shop that was designed to display and deliver a variety of information and links for download or online watch prices in the China market.

 

On June 1, 2017, we entered into a Patent License Agreement (the “Agreement”) pursuant to which Guangzhou Shengshituhua Film and Television Company Limited, a company incorporated in China (“Licensor”), granted to us a worldwide license to a video synthesis and release system for mobile communications equipment (the “Technology”). The Technology is the subject of a utility patent in the People’s Republic of China. Under the Agreement, we are able to utilize, improve upon, and sub-license the technology for an initial period of one year from October 1, 2017 to September 30, 2018, subject to a right to renew. We were obligated to pay the Licensor $500,000 within 30 days of the date of the Agreement and a royalty fee in the amount of 20% of any proceeds resulting from our utilization of the Technology, whether in the form of sub-licensing fees or sales of licensed products. Our Chief Executive Officer, Chiyuan Deng and former Chief Executive Officer, Jianli Deng, jointly own and control Licensor. On October 10, 2017, we completed the payment of $500,000 initial payment amount due under the Agreement. In October of 2019, the term of this sublicensing agreement was renewed and extended until October 31, 2020.

 

Our License to the Technology generates revenue through sub-license monthly fees from a smartphone app on Android devices. This app was already existing and licensed at the time we acquired the Technology.

 

 

On March 10, 2018, we acquired intellectual property for $200,000 from All In One Media Ltd, previously named as Aura Blocks Ltd. On March 19, 2018, we entered into consulting agreements (the “Consulting Agreements”) with four consultants (the “Consultants”). The Consulting Agreements have terms or either two or three years. Under the Consulting Agreements the Consultants will provide services to us in Hong Kong and China related to blockchain technology and krypto kiosks. In consideration for the services provided by the Consultants, we have issued the Consultants a total of 1,100,000 shares of our common stock. On November 10, 2018, the Company sold this intellectual property to China IPTV Industry Park Holdings Ltd. for $80,000.

 

On March 21, 2018, we acquired the intellectual assets of KryptoKiosk Limited, a crypto currencies kiosk company which has licenses and patent in Australia, which enable the operation of cryptocurrency ATMs that allow buying and selling of Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Ethererum all in one terminal. The Company plans to generate revenue through sub-licensing fees for the operation of cryptocurrency ATMs. Through the foregoing the Company proposes to bring a physical aspect to something that is otherwise very abstract to people. We also issued to JPC Fintech Limited 2,400,000 common shares with a market value of $72,000 exchange of KryptoKiosk Limited’s assets consist mostly of intellectual property, including, but not limited to, certain domain names, copyrights, trademarks, and patents pending, but also include contract rights and personal property.

 

We planned to generate revenue through sub-licensing fees for the operation of cryptocurrency ATMs. Through the foregoing, we proposed to bring a physical aspect to something that is otherwise very abstract to people. We planned to invest in machines and sell sub-licenses in the Asia Pacific region with future world-wide expansion. We had promoted and marketed the ATM business for 6 months or until around August 2018, because the BTC and cryptocurrencies price went down. The IP, however, was never transferred to us. We have repeatedly requested from Messrs. Grounds, Vickery and Shakespare access to the domains and websites and other information concerning the IP assets. As of the date of this annual report, no such information has been provided. In addition, the IP including domain names were transferred to others while Messrs. Vickery and Shakespare were officers of our company. As a result, we ceased promotions and marketing on the ATM business and relations cryptocurrencies business in September 2018. On November 21, 2018, we had sent the final notice that JPC Fintech has materially breached the agreement. We requested that JPC Fintech Ltd. return its stock certificate received in the transaction to our transfer agent for immediate cancellation. We have not yet received the certificate for termination. In February of 2020, 100% of the intellectual assets of KryptoKiosk Limited‘s carrying value $48,000 net of amortization is written off since the IP was never transferred to us and no revenue was generated from this intellectual asset.

 

On May 9, 2018, we entered into an investor agreement with iCrowdU Inc. We agreed to purchase 228,013 shares of iCrowdU Inc. at a share price of $1.228 for total consideration of $280,000. iCrowdU Inc. offers an online platform and mobile app for crowd funding services targeting the global crowd funding market.

 

Furthermore, it was agreed to exchange 2,000,000 shares of our common stock for 2,000,000 shares of common stock in iCrowdU Inc. This share exchange was made as collateral in advance of an investment of $1,935,000 by us into iCrowdU Inc., which never occurred.

 

On or about May 9, 2018, we entered into consultancy agreements with Alexander Holtermann, Ian Wright and Luis Hadic. Each of Messrs. Holtermann, Wright and Hadic received 200,000 shares of our common stock under the consultancy agreements.

 

On or about July 26, 2018, we entered into an investment agreement with iCrowdU Inc. for the purchase of 40% of iCrowdU in exchange for 8,000,000 shares of our common stock that would be split between Messrs. Holtermann and Wright at 70% and 30%, respectively, and an investment of $10,000,000. The 8,000,000 shares were cut but not delivered to Messrs. Holtermann and Wright and no part of the $10,000,000 was invested by us into iCrowdU Inc.

 

On or about July 31, 2018, we entered into employment agreements with Messrs. Holtermann and Wright for the consideration provided for under the agreements.

 

 

On October 25, 2018, the above parties entered into an Agreement for Termination and Release that terminated all outstanding agreements among the parties and released each party from the other.

On September 5, 2018, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire a movie copyright for $768,000 from All In One Media Ltd, which holds 200,000 common shares of the Company as of August 31, 2019 and is previously named as Aura Blocks Limited. The remaining balance to Aura Blocks Limited is $153,600 as of August 31, 2019. The Company has obtained the exclusive permanent broadcasting right outside the mainland China and is expected to generate revenues from showing the movie online, in theaters, and on TV outside the mainland China once this movie is completed in June, 2019. In August of 2019, the Company sold this movie copyright to China IPTV Industry Park Holding Ltd for $857,600 with a gain of $89,538.

 

In December of 2018, we engaged StarEastnet, a software developer that holds 171,000 common shares of the Company as of August 31, 2019, to start developing a performance matching platform (Ai Bian Quan Qiu) and a WeChat official account to advertise the platform. The matching platform is to arrange performance events for celebrities and performers. Performers can set their schedules and quotes on the platform. The platform will maximize their profits from performance events by optimizing their schedules based upon quotes and event locations and save time from commuting among different events. “Ai Bian Quan Qiu” utilizes the artificial intelligence (AI) matching technology to instantly and accurately match performers and advertisers or merchants. The company charges agency service fees for each successful event matched through the platform. Since no large social gathering is allowed as a result of COVID-19, there has been no revenue generated from the performance matching platform (Ai Bian Quan Qiu) since the end of January, 2020. The Company decided that 100% of the carrying amount of Ai Bian Quan Qiu platform and its Wechat official account should be impaired.

 

In June, 2019, the Company completed the development of a video mix APP for social video sharing via iOS and Android smartphones. This app was originally planned to take advantage of the core design philosophy of “My film anyone, anywhere, anytime be together” as similar and competitive innovative video and community apps have been activated on over 2 million unique devices in China as of December 31, 2017 and precipitated the duet video synthesis phenomenon in China. However, the Company decided to focus on the “Ai Bian Quan Qiu” platform as its main business and thus sold the video mix APP to Anyone Pictures Limited, which holds 242,980 common shares of the Company, for $422,400 with a gain of $59,792 in August of 2019. Due to the quarantine and continuous control imposed by the state and local governments in areas affected by COVID-19, merchant advertising events were suspended. The Company decided to shut down the Ai Bian Quan Qiu platform, which has created an adverse impact on the business and financial condition and hampered its ability to generate revenue and access sources of liquidity on reasonable terms.

 

In August of 2019, the Company entered into a one-year loan agreement to lend $1,047,040 at an annual interest rate of 10% to All In One Media Ltd, previously named as Aura Blocks Limited, for producing films and digital videos in Hong Kong. The term of note receivable is from August 1, 2019 to July 31, 2020. This loan principal balance was paid off in full in July, 2020.

On April 22, 2020, the Company has announced the first phase development of a video streaming service, the Company expects a full launch by the end of December, 2020.

COVID-19

 

The full extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, operations and financial results will depend on numerous evolving factors that we may not be able to accurately predict at the present time. In an effort to contain COVID-19 or slow its spread, governments around the world have enacted various measures, including orders to close all businesses not deemed “essential,” isolate residents to their homes or places of residence, and practice social distancing when engaging in essential activities. We anticipate that these actions and the global health crisis caused by COVID-19 will negatively impact business activity across the globe. The movie industry in general has changed dramatically as a result of the pandemic restrictions. While movie theaters struggle to stay alive, online streaming programming has increased. We have endeavored to stay with the trend for streaming services to remain competitive. We have experienced the negative impact in our results of operations and in our financial condition for the year ended August, 2020, especially with respect to the movie distribution end of our business. These impacts concern delays in delivering our movies and IP because of health restrictions imposed on certain public events that concern our business, including, among other things, theaters, indoor and outdoor performances, filming restrictions, music festivals, concerts and other such events, Some of these restrictions include pandemic government mandated shutdowns and others restrictions on capacity gathered at these events, with some jurisdictions imposing fines or revocation of business licensing, and other restrictions. As a result of these factors, our revenue was reduced from March to May of this fiscal year. With immediate closures, the resultant industry and business specific delays have negatively affected our company.

 

We plan to focus on the video streaming and other web based applications and expand our business into those areas that we believe we situate the company for continued and increased revenues. As the pandemic is forecasted to worsen in the United States and other areas around the globe, we believe that the demand for our IP, online products and services offerings increases. While we cannot guarantee that the negative effects of the pandemic will not interfere with our ability to generate revenues, we intend to strengthen our position in this dynamic market and position the company to best suit its shareholders.

 

Specific to our company operations, during the pandemic period, we have enacted precautionary measures to protect the health and safety of our employees and partners. These measures include closing our office, having employees work from home, and eliminating all travel. While having employees work from home may have a negative impact on efficiency and may result in negligible increases in costs, it does have an impact on our ability to execute on our agreements to deliver our core products.

 

We will continue to actively monitor the situation and may take further actions that alter our business operations as may be required by federal, state, local or foreign authorities, or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers, partners and stockholders. It is not clear what the potential effects any such alterations or modifications may have on our business, including the effects on our customers, partners, or vendors, or on our financial results.

 

Results of operations for the years ended August 31, 2020 and 2019 

 

Revenues

 

Our total revenue reported for the year ended August 31, 2020 was $448,343, compared with $433,567 for the year ended August 31, 2019.

 

69% and 70% of revenue was generated from one customer during the years ended August 31, 2020 and August 31, 2019, respectively.

  

The increase in revenue for the year ended August 31, 2020 over the year ended August 31, 2019 is attributable to increased revenue from sublicensing the VideoMix patent to Anyone Pictures Limited and the new revenue stream of performance matching service fees generated from the Fan Dou He Pai Wechat Official account. 

 

We expect to continue to achieve steadily increasing revenues within the coming months especially with respect to our streaming products. However, we have limited operating history to rely upon and in the face of a worldwide pandemic, we cannot guarantee that our business plan will be successful. Having generated no revenues on our “Ai Bian Quan Qiu” platform after later January of 2020, we lost the revenue stream resulting in an impairment of the asset by 80% in the second quarter of 2020. Notwithstanding these obstacles, management notes that its decision to accelerate the development and launch date of its video streaming service was largely also in part to the mandatory quarantines being implemented due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which has increased viewership of video streaming services and the Internet by as much as 70% over the course of the past several weeks.

 

Our cost of revenues was $177,577 for the year ended August 31, 2020, as compared with $174,533 for the year ended August 31, 2019.

 

As a result, we had gross profit of $270,766 for the year ended August 31, 2020, as compared with gross profit of $259,034 for the year ended August 31, 2019.

 

We had a gross profit margin of 60% for the year ended August 31, 2020, roughly the same from 59% over the year ended August 31, 2019.

 

The reason for the slight increase in our gross profit margin in 2020 over 2019 is attributable to revenue from the Wechat Official account for the Fan Dou He Pai performance matching platform that started generating revenue in February, 2019.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Operating expenses increased to $1,640,094 for the year ended August 31, 2020 from $702,088 for the year ended August 31, 2019.

 

Our operating expenses for year ended August 31, 2020 consisted of general and administrative expenses of $1,346,525, research and development expenses of $108,800, and related party salary and wages of $184,768. In contrast, our operating expenses for the year ended August 31, 2019 consisted of general and administrative expenses of $525,109 and related party salary and wages of $176,979.

 

We experienced an increase in general and administrative expenses in 2020 over 2019, mainly as a result of increased rent, salaries, valuation fees, consulting fees, issuance expense for convertible notes, travel and entertainment, and depreciation expense, etc.

 

The increase in research and development expense was due to $108,800 long-term prepayment expensed as research and development expense in Q3, FY2020, because the Ai Bian Quan Qiu” platform did not generate any revenue during the COVID-19 period in Q2 (after January 23, 2020) and Q3, FY2020 and the Company impaired 80% of the “Ai Bian Quan Qiu” platform intangible asset value in Q2 2020.

 

We anticipate our operating expenses will increase as we undertake our plan of operations, including increased costs associated with marketing, personnel, and other general and administrative expenses, along with increased professional fees associated with SEC and COVID compliance as our business grows more complex and more expensive to maintain. On the COVID front, we expect that our online operations will increase, as we use online working systems to monitor and communicate with employees, consultants and suppliers. These and other costs for COVID expenditures will increase our operational costs in 2021 at various levels of operation.

 

Other Expenses

 

We had other expenses of $153,743 for the year ended August 31, 2020, as compared with other income of $38,419 for the year ended August 31, 2019. Our other expenses in 2020 were the result of interest expense and loss from the change in fair value. Our other income for 2019 was the result of a gain on the sale of intangible assets and interest income.

 

Net (Loss) Income

 

We incurred a net loss in the amount of $1,523,071 for the year ended August 31, 2020, as compared with a net loss of $404,635 for the year ended August 31, 2019.

        

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of August 31, 2020, we had $2,779,106 in current assets. Our total current liabilities as of August 31, 2020 were $938,374. As a result, we have working capital of $1,840,732 as of August 31, 2020.

 

Operating activities used $1,263,370 in cash for the year ended August 31, 2020, as compared with $811,102 in cash used for the year ended August 31, 2019. Our negative operating cash flow in 2020 was mainly the result of our net loss of 1,523,071 and long-term prepayment of $1,742,080, offset mainly by $1,280,000 receivable on asset disposal. Our negative operating cash flow in 2019 was mainly the result of our net loss of $404,635 and by $1,280,000 receivable on asset disposal, offset mainly by prepaid expenses of $301,897.

 

Investing activities provided $1,047,040 in cash for the year ended August 31, 2020, as compared with $1,234,350 used for the year ended August 31, 2019. Our positive investing cash flow for the year ended August 31, 2020 is the result of a note receivable in the amount of $1,047,040. Our negative investing cash flow for the year ended August 31, 2019 is the result of the note receivable in the amount of $1,047,040, office renovations of $167,726 and development of integible assets of $99,584, offset by the sale of the copyright and all other rights in a film named “Gong Fu Nv Pai” copyright and the mobile application (Amoney) assets to an unrelated party.

 

Financing activities provided $1,106,641 in cash for the year ended August 31, 2020, as compared with $3,400,000 for the year ended August 31, 2019. Our positive operating cash flow for both periods was mainly proceeds from the sale of our common stock with 2020 adding proceeds from the issuance of convertible notes and warrants.

 

In 2019 and 2020, we have issued several convertible promissory notes to accredited investors. These notes contain terms that allow for discounted conversions from the company’s stock price, with most at a 40% discount. These notes also contain strict terms for compliance and penalty provisions that could cost us more than the principal and accrued interest. They also have most favored nation clauses that force us to offer more favorable terms in subsequent offerings. If we are unable to secure a better form of financing, or pay off the notes before they convert, we could experience a significant drop in our stock price and face other negative consequences. Because we are penny stock, and there is a limited market for our shares, investor may not be able to recoup their investment and noteholders may not be able to sell their converted shares into the market. We may be forced to pay off the convertible debt, with existing or raised funds, which might not be available. We could be at risk of default with the noteholders. If that happens, we may be forced to defend the lawsuits, liquidate assets, etc., which would be costly and turn management’s attention away from the business. We could go out of business and you could lose your entire investment.

 

There can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising additional funding. If we are not able to secure additional funding, the implementation of our business plan will be impaired. There can be no assurance that such additional financing will be available to us on acceptable terms or at all.

 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of August 31, 2020, there were no off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

In December 2001, the SEC requested that all registrants list their most “critical accounting polices” in the Management Discussion and Analysis. The SEC indicated that a “critical accounting policy” is one which is both important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results, and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.

 

Our critical accounting policies are set forth in Note 2 to the financial statements.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

We do not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flow.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

 

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
AB International Group Corp

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of AB International Group Corp (the “Company”) as of August 31, 2020, and 2019, and the related consolidated statements of operations, statements of changes in stockholders’ equity and consolidated statements of cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial positions of AB International Group Corp as of August 31, 2020, and 2019, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Emphasis of Matter - Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 18 to the financial statements, although the Company has limited operations it has yet to attain profitability. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plan in regard to these matters is also described in Note 18. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Emphasis of Matter - Adoption of New Accounting Standards

As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification Topic 842, Leases, effective September 1, 2019.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

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

 

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

 

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

AB INTERNATIONAL GROUP CORP.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the years ended August 31, 2020 and August 31, 2019

 

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

 

AB International Group Corp. (the "Company", "we" or "us") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on July 29, 2013 and originally intended to purchase used cars in the United States and sell them in Krygyzstan. The Company's fiscal year end is August 31.

 

We are an intellectual property (IP) and movie investment and licensing firm, focused on acquisitions and development of various intellectual property. We are engaged to acquisition and distribution of movies. We have a patent license to a video synthesis and release system for mobile communications equipment, in which the technology is the subject of a utility model patent in the People's Republic of China. We had launched a business application (Ai Bian Quan Qiu) through smartphones and official social media accounts based on WeChat platform in February 2019, utilizing Artificial Intelligence, it is a matching platform for performers, advertiser merchants, and owners for more efficient services. We generate revenues through an agency service fee from each matched performance

 

On January 22, 2016, our former sole officer, who owned 83% of our outstanding common shares, sold all of his common shares to unrelated investor Jianli Deng. After the stock sale, we modified our business to focus on the creation of a mobile app marketing engine. The app was designed for movie trailer promotions and we planned to generate a subscriber base of smartphone users primarily through pre-installed app smartphone makers, online app stores, WeChat official accounts, Weibo and other social network media outlets and sell prepaid cards or coins to movie distributors or other video advertisers in China. We created the app “Amoney” for the Android smartphone platform to develop a WeChat micro-shop that was designed to display and deliver a variety of information and links for download or online watch prices in the China market.

 

On June 1, 2017, we entered into a Patent License Agreement (the “Agreement”) pursuant to which Guangzhou Shengshituhua Film and Television Company Limited, a company incorporated in China (“Licensor”), granted to us a worldwide license to a video synthesis and release system for mobile communications equipment (the “Technology”). The Technology is the subject of a utility patent in the People’s Republic of China. Under the Agreement, we are able to utilize, improve upon, and sub-license the technology for an initial period of one year from October 1, 2017 to September 30, 2018, subject to a right to renew. We were obligated to pay the Licensor $500,000 within 30 days of the date of the Agreement and a royalty fee in the amount of 20% of any proceeds resulting from our utilization of the Technology, whether in the form of sub-licensing fees or sales of licensed products. Our Chief Executive Officer, Chiyuan Deng and former Chief Executive Officer, Jianli Deng, jointly own and control Licensor. On October 10, 2017, we completed the payment of $500,000 initial payment amount due under the Agreement. In October of 2019, the term of this sublicensing agreement was renewed and extended until October 31, 2020.

 

Our License to the Technology generates revenue through sub-license monthly fees from a smartphone app on Android devices. This app was already existing and licensed at the time we acquired the Technology.

 

On March 10, 2018, we acquired intellectual property for $200,000 from All In One Media Ltd, previously named as Aura Blocks Ltd. On March 19, 2018, we entered into consulting agreements (the “Consulting Agreements”) with four consultants (the “Consultants”). The Consulting Agreements have terms or either two or three years. Under the Consulting Agreements the Consultants will provide services to us in Hong Kong and China related to blockchain technology and krypto kiosks. In consideration for the services provided by the Consultants, we have issued the Consultants a total of 1,100,000 shares of our common stock. On November 10, 2018, the Company sold this intellectual property to China IPTV Industry Park Holdings Ltd. for $80,000.

 

On March 21, 2018, we acquired the intellectual assets of KryptoKiosk Limited, a crypto currencies kiosk company which has licenses and patent in Australia, which enable the operation of cryptocurrency ATMs that allow buying and selling of Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Ethererum all in one terminal. The Company plans to generate revenue through sub-licensing fees for the operation of cryptocurrency ATMs. Through the foregoing the Company proposes to bring a physical aspect to something that is otherwise very abstract to people. We also issued to JPC Fintech Limited 2,400,000 common shares with a market value of $72,000 exchange of KryptoKiosk Limited’s assets consist mostly of intellectual property, including, but not limited to, certain domain names, copyrights, trademarks, and patents pending, but also include contract rights and personal property.

 

 

We planned to generate revenue through sub-licensing fees for the operation of cryptocurrency ATMs. Through the foregoing, we proposed to bring a physical aspect to something that is otherwise very abstract to people. We planned to invest in machines and sell sub-licenses in the Asia Pacific region with future world-wide expansion. We had promoted and marketed the ATM business for 6 months or until around August 2018, because the BTC and cryptocurrencies price went down. The IP, however, was never transferred to us. We have repeatedly requested from Messrs. Grounds, Vickery and Shakespare access to the domains and websites and other information concerning the IP assets. As of the date of this annual report, no such information has been provided. In addition, the IP including domain names were transferred to others while Messrs. Vickery and Shakespare were officers of our company. As a result, we ceased promotions and marketing on the ATM business and relations cryptocurrencies business in September 2018. On November 21, 2018, we had sent the final notice that JPC Fintech has materially breached the agreement. We requested that JPC Fintech Ltd. return its stock certificate received in the transaction to our transfer agent for immediate cancellation. We have not yet received the certificate for termination. In February of 2020, 100% of the intellectual assets of KryptoKiosk Limited‘s carrying value $48,000 net of amortization is written off since the IP was never transferred to us and no revenue was generated from this intellectual asset.

 

On May 9, 2018, we entered into an investor agreement with iCrowdU Inc. We agreed to purchase 228,013 shares of iCrowdU Inc. at a share price of $1.228 for total consideration of $280,000. iCrowdU Inc. offers an online platform and mobile app for crowd funding services targeting the global crowd funding market.

 

Furthermore, it was agreed to exchange 2,000,000 shares of our common stock for 2,000,000 shares of common stock in iCrowdU Inc. This share exchange was made as collateral in advance of an investment of $1,935,000 by us into iCrowdU Inc., which never occurred.

 

On or about May 9, 2018, we entered into consultancy agreements with Alexander Holtermann, Ian Wright and Luis Hadic. Each of Messrs. Holtermann, Wright and Hadic received 200,000 shares of our common stock under the consultancy agreements.

 

On or about July 26, 2018, we entered into an investment agreement with iCrowdU Inc. for the purchase of 40% of iCrowdU in exchange for 8,000,000 shares of our common stock that would be split between Messrs. Holtermann and Wright at 70% and 30%, respectively, and an investment of $10,000,000. The 8,000,000 shares were cut but not delivered to Messrs. Holtermann and Wright and no part of the $10,000,000 was invested by us into iCrowdU Inc.

 

On or about July 31, 2018, we entered into employment agreements with Messrs. Holtermann and Wright for the consideration provided for under the agreements.

 

On October 25, 2018, the above parties entered into an Agreement for Termination and Release that terminated all outstanding agreements among the parties and released each party from the other. We agreed to settle outstanding expenses and costs incurred by iCrowdU Inc., in the sum of $6,444.90. In addition, all parties agreed to return any shares received from the above agreements, save we shall be permitted to retain the 228,013 shares purchased in iCrowdU Inc. Finally, we agreed to amend our Current Report on Form 8-K concerning certain disclosures made therein. We amended the report as per the agreement.

 

On September 5, 2018, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire a movie copyright for $768,000 from All In One Media Ltd, which holds 200,000 common shares of the Company as of August 31, 2019 and is previously named as Aura Blocks Limited. The remaining balance to Aura Blocks Limited is $153,600 as of August 31, 2019. The Company has obtained the exclusive permanent broadcasting right outside the mainland China and is expected to generate revenues from showing the movie online, in theaters, and on TV outside the mainland China once this movie is completed in June, 2019. In August of 2019, the Company sold this movie copyright to China IPTV Industry Park Holding Ltd for $857,600 with a gain of $89,538.

 

In December of 2018, we engaged StarEastnet, a software developer that holds 171,000 common shares of the Company as of August 31, 2019, to start developing a performance matching platform (Ai Bian Quan Qiu) and a WeChat official account to advertise the platform. The matching platform is to arrange performance events for celebrities and performers. Performers can

 

 

set their schedules and quotes on the platform. The platform will maximize their profits from performance events by optimizing their schedules based upon quotes and event locations and save time from commuting among different events. “Ai Bian Quan Qiu” utilizes the artificial intelligence (AI) matching technology to instantly and accurately match performers and advertisers or merchants. The company charges agency service fees for each successful event matched through the platform. Since no large social gathering is allowed as a result of COVID-19, there has been no revenue generated from the performance matching platform (Ai Bian Quan Qiu) since the end of January, 2020. The Company decided that 100% of the carrying amount of Ai Bian Quan Qiu platform and its Wechat official account should be impaired.

 

In June, 2019, the Company completed the development of a video mix APP for social video sharing via iOS and Android smartphones. This app was originally planned to take advantage of the core design philosophy of “My film anyone, anywhere, anytime be together” as similar and competitive innovative video and community apps have been activated on over 2 million unique devices in China as of December 31, 2017 and precipitated the duet video synthesis phenomenon in China. However, the Company decided to focus on the “Ai Bian Quan Qiu” platform as its main business and thus sold the video mix APP to Anyone Pictures Limited, which holds 242,980 common shares of the Company, for $422,400 with a gain of $59,792 in August of 2019. Due to the quarantine and continuous control imposed by the state and local governments in areas affected by COVID-19, merchant advertising events were suspended. The Company decided to shut down the Ai Bian Quan Qiu platform, which has created an adverse impact on the business and financial condition and hampered its ability to generate revenue and access sources of liquidity on reasonable terms.

 

In August of 2019, the Company entered into a one-year loan agreement to lend $1,047,040 at an annual interest rate of 10% to All In One Media Ltd, previously named as Aura Blocks Limited, for producing films and digital videos in Hong Kong. The term of note receivable is from August 1, 2019 to July 31, 2020. This loan principal balance was paid off in full in July, 2020.

 

On September 4, 2019, the Company entered into another loan agreement to lend $1,049,600 at an annual interest rate of 10% to All In One Media Ltd, previously named as Aura Blocks Limited. The term of note receivable is from September 4, 2019 to March 3, 2020. This loan balance was paid off in full on May 4th, 2020 with two months’ extension. 

 

On April 22, 2020, the Company has announced the first phase development of it’s a video streaming service, the Company expects a full launch by December, 2020. The online service will be marketed and distributed in the world under the brand name ABQQ.tv. ABQQ.tv is expected to generate a new and profitable revenue stream immediately following its launch derived from its hybrid subscription and advertising business model. The Company is currently designing and creating the website, the Company's professional team are sourcing such dramas and films to prepare the ABQQ.tv official launch in December, 2020. As of August 31, 2020, the Company acquired broadcast rights for a TV series of “If time could stop at the moment when we first met” and a movie of “Huafeng” at a price of $640,000 and $422,420, respectively.

 

NOTE 2 –SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and are presented in US dollars. The Company’s year-end is August 31. The financial statements have been prepared on a consolidated basis, with their fully owned subsidiary App Board Limited.

 

Basis of Consolidation

 

The financial statements have been prepared on a consolidated basis, with the Company’s fully owned subsidiary App Board Limited registered and located in Hong Kong. For the year ended August 31, 2020, there were intercompany receivable and payables balance of $9,060, which is offset to zero in the consolidated financial statements. No intercompany balances or transactions existed during the year ended August 31, 2019.

 

 

Use of Estimates

 

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

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Foreign Currency Transactions

 

The Company’s planned operations are outside of the United States, which results in exposure to market risks from changes in foreign currency rates. The financial risk arises from the fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degrees of volatility in these rates. Currently the Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical rates and monetary assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates in effect at the end of the year. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates for the year. Gains and losses from translation of foreign currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in current results of operations.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable consist of amounts due from Anyone Pictures Limited for the sub-licensing fee revenue. Amounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in its existing accounts receivable. No amount for bad debt expense has been recorded by the Company during the years ended August 31, 2020 and August 31, 2019, and no write-off for bad debt were recorded for the years ended August 31, 2020 and August 31, 2019.

 

Prepaid Expenses

 

Prepaid expenses primarily consist of consulting fees that have been paid in advance and prepayments of OTC market annual fee, website domain fee, TV promotion fee, and investor relation fee.

 

The prepaid balances are amortized when the related expense is incurred.

 

Note Receivable

 

Note receivable is a one-year note bearing annual interest of 10% with the principal payable annually at the end of the term. Interest is due and payable, at the election of the Company, in cash on the Maturity Date, as applicable, or if the note receivable is prepaid earlier, on such prepayment date. Therefore, interest income is recorded along with interest receivable throughout the note outstanding periods.

 

Fixed Asset

 

Fixed asset consists of furniture and appliances acquired for the office. The balance is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives listed below:

 

			Estimated Useful Life
Furniture			7 years
Appliances			5 years

  

 

Leasehold Improvement

 

Leasehold improvement is related to the enhancements paid by the Company to leased office and store. Leasehold improvement represents capital expenditures for direct costs of renovation or acquisition and design fees incurred. The amortization of leasehold improvements commences once the renovation is completed and ready for the Company’s intended use. Leasehold improvement is amortized over the lease term of 3 years.

 

Intangible Assets

 

Intangible assets are stated at cost and depreciated as follows:

 

●

Mobile application product: straight-line method over the estimated life of the asset, which has been determined by management to be 3 years

 

●

Movie copyrights: income forecast method for a period not to exceed 10 years

 

●

Patent: straight-line method over the term of 5 years based on the patent license agreement

 

Amortized costs of the intangible asset are recorded as cost of sales, as the intangible asset is directly related to generation of revenues in the Company.

 

Lease property under operating lease

 

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued updated guidance to improve financial reporting about leasing transactions. This guidance required organizations that lease assets to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases. The original guidance required application on a modified retrospective basis with the earliest period presented. In August 2018, the FASB issued new guidance which included an option to not restate comparative periods in transition. Under this new guidance, a company applies the standard to leases in place as of the date of initial application, records a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the first day of the adoption year, and follows the new rules for all leases entered or modified going forward.  The Company adopted this new standard on June 1, 2020 with no retrospective adjustments to prior comparative periods. In accordance with ASC 250-10-45-14, a change in accounting principle made in an interim period shall be reflected as if the entity had adopted the new principle on the first day of the adoption year, which is September 1, 2019 for the Company. As such, the adoption of ASC 842 lease accounting standard has resulted in $196,813 lease liabilities with corresponding $201,025 ROU assets net of amortization as of September 1, 2019 based on the present value of the remaining rental payments under current leasing standards for existing leases. The remaining balance of lease liabilities are presented within the current portion of lease liabilities and the non-current portion of lease liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. 

 

Impairment of Long-lived asset

 

The Company evaluates its long-lived assets or asset group, including intangible assets with indefinite and finite lives, for impairment. Intangible assets with indefinite lives that are not subject to amortization are tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired in accordance with ASC 350. Such impairment test compares the fair values of assets with their carrying values with an impairment loss recognized when the carrying values exceed fair values. For long-lived assets and intangible assets with finite lives that are subject to depreciation and amortization are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances (such as a significant adverse change to market conditions that will impact the future use of the assets) indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or a Group of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. When these events occur, the Company evaluates impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the assets to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the assets, the Company would recognize an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount of the asset group over its fair value.

 

Impairment losses are included in G&A expense. For the year ended August 31, 2020, the impairment loss of intangible assets was $125,062, including $48,000 for the intellectual assets acquired from KryptoKiosk Limited and $77,062 for the performance matching platform “Ai Bian Quan Qiu” and its WeChat official account.

 

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company adopted ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, applying the modified retrospective method.

 

In accordance with ASC Topic 606, revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services are transferred to a customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company applies the following five steps in order to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as it fulfills its obligations under each of its agreements:

 

●

the contract with a customer;

●

identify the performance obligations in the contract;

●

determine the transaction price;

●

allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and

●

recognize revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied.

 

The Company does not believe that significant management judgements are involved in revenue recognition, but the amount and timing of the Company’s revenues could be different for any period if management made different judgments or utilized different estimates. Generally, the Company recognizes revenue under ASC Topic 606 for its performance obligation.

The Company generates revenue from sub-licensing a patent and charging a service fee from the “Ai Bian Quan Qiu” platform for actors and commercial events matching.

 

The sub-licensing revenue is recognized monthly based upon the number of users who download the APP that utilizes the Company’s patent. The monthly royalty the Company charges Anyone Pictures Limited is $12.8 per 1000 APP users. Both parties agreed to charge the sublicensing fee based upon a fixed number 2,000,000 users.

 

The “Ai Bian Quan Qiu” platform service revenue is derived principally from providing matching service to merchants who are looking for actors to perform at their advertising events. The Company recognizes revenue upon a matching event is accepted by actors with a service fee of 10% of the actors’ quote for performing at the events. For the service fee revenue from the “Ai Bian Quan Qiu” platform, the Company does not control the specified goods or services before that is transferred to the customers and thus the Company is an agent. Therefore, this service revenue is recognized at a net basis.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements” (ASC 820) and ASC 825, “Financial Instruments” (ASC 825), requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. It establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument's categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. It prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1 - Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 - Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.

 

Level 3 - Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

 

The carrying values of cash, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate fair value. Pursuant to ASC 820 and 825, the fair value of cash is determined based on "Level 1" inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The fair values of warrant liabilities and derivative liabilities embedded in convertible notes are determined by level 3 inputs.

 

Accounting for Derivative Instruments

 

The Company accounts for derivative instruments in accordance with ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (ASC 815) and all derivative instruments are reflected as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the balance sheet.

The Company uses estimates of fair value to value its derivative instruments. Fair value is defined as the price to sell an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between willing and able market participants. In general, the Company's policy in estimating fair values is to first look at observable market prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets, where available. When these are not available, other inputs are used to model fair value such as prices of similar instruments, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, default rates and credit spreads (including for the Company's liabilities), relying first on observable data from active markets. Additional adjustments may be made for factors including liquidity, credit, bid/offer spreads, etc., depending on current market conditions. Transaction costs are not included in the determination of fair value. When possible, the Company seeks to validate the model's output to market transactions. Depending on the availability of observable inputs and prices, different valuation models could produce materially different fair value estimates. The values presented may not represent future fair values and may not be realizable. The Company categorizes its fair value estimates in accordance with ASC 820 based on the hierarchical framework associated with the three levels of price transparency utilized in measuring financial instruments at fair value as discussed above. Changes in fair value are recognized in the period incurred as either gains or losses.

 

Warrants

 

Warrants are classified as equity and the proceeds from issuing warrants in conjunction with convertible notes are allocated based on the relative fair values of the base instrument of convertible notes and the warrants by following the guidance of ASC 470-20-25-2 as below:

 

Proceeds from the sale of a debt instrument with stock purchase warrants (detachable call options) shall be allocated to the two elements based on the relative fair values of the debt instrument without the warrants and of the warrants themselves at time of issuance. The portion of the proceeds so allocated to the warrants shall be accounted for as paid-in capital. The remainder of the proceeds shall be allocated to the debt instrument portion of the transaction. This usually results in a discount (or, occasionally, a reduced premium), which shall be accounted for as interest expense under Topic 835 Interest.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to FASB ASC 740 “Income Taxes”. Under ASC 740 deferred income taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The provision for income taxes represents the tax expense for the period, if any, and the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

 

ASC 740 also provides criteria for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions. Under ASC 740, the impact of an uncertain tax position on the income tax return may only be recognized at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. At August 31, 2020, there was unrecognized tax benefits. Please see Notes 14 for details.

 

Value-Added Taxes

 

The Company generates revenue in People's Republic of China (PRC) via the “Ai Bian Quan Qiu” platform and is subject to a value-added tax at an effective rate of 6%. In accordance with PRC law, the Company is also subject to surcharges, which includes urban maintenance and construction taxes and additional education fees on VAT payable.

 

 

For the year ended August 31, 2020, the Company’s revenue generated from the “Ai Bian Quan Qiu” platform is subject to VAT at a rate of 6% and subject to surcharges at a rate of 12% of the VAT payable.

 

Basic and Diluted Income (Loss) Per Share

 

The Company computes income (loss) per share in accordance with FASB ASC 260, “Earnings per Share” which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share on the face of the statement of operations. The earnings per share after the reverse stock split is presented retrospectively as if the reverse split had occurred at the very beginning of the business. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and potential common shares outstanding during the period for warrants, options and restricted shares under treasury stock method, and for convertible debts under if-convertible method, if dilutive. Diluted income (loss) per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period and excludes all potential common shares if their effects are anti-dilutive.

 

In accordance with the Company’s convertible note agreements, the Note Holders have the option to convert all or any lesser portion of the outstanding principal amount and accrued but unpaid interest into common stock at a conversion price equal to a price which is 55% or 60% of the lowest trading price during the 10 or 20 days prior to the day that the Holder requests conversion. 55% is applicable to EMA Financial whereas 60% applies for the other counterparties. The lowest trading price during 10 days prior to conversion is applicable to East Capital and East Capital, whereas the other counterparties utilize the lowest trading price during the preceding 20 days. The number of diluted shares from convertible notes is calculated with the assumption of converting all the outstanding principal balance and unpaid interest expense to common shares at the beginning of the period or at the time of issuance, if later.

 

 The number of diluted shares from warrants is the upper limit to which warrants can be converted into common shares and adjusted for anti-dilution clauses.

 

As of August 31, 2020, 6,614,769 potentially diluted shares were from convertible notes and 68,163,661 potentially diluted shares were from warrants. 68,163,661 diluted shares are the maximum number of common shares these warrants can be converted into. No potentially dilutive debt or equity instruments were issued or outstanding as of August 31, 2019.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases. The standard requires that a lessee recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from operating leases. A lessee should recognize in its balance sheet a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. In transition, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The guidance in ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018.

 

In September 2017, the FASB has issued ASU No. 2017-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605), Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), Leases (Topic 840), and Leases (Topic 842): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to the Staff Announcement at the July 20, 2017 EITF Meeting and Rescission of Prior SEC Staff Announcements and Observer

 

 

Comments.” The amendments in ASU No. 2017-13 amends the early adoption date option for certain companies related to the adoption of ASU No. 2014-09 and ASU No. 2016-02. Both of the below entities may still adopt using the public company adoption guidance in the related ASUs, as amended. The effective date is the same as the effective date and transition requirements for the amendments for ASU 2014-09 and ASU 2016-02.

 

In February 2018, the FASB issued guidance to address the income tax accounting treatment of the tax effects within other comprehensive income due to the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”). This guidance allows entities to elect to reclassify the tax effects of the change in the income tax rates from other comprehensive income to retained earnings. The guidance is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2018 although early adoption is permitted. The Company has evaluated and concluded that there was no impact on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

 

In March 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-05: “Income Taxes (Topic 740)-Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118”. The amendments in this ASU add various SEC paragraphs pursuant to the issuance of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, which expresses the view of the staff regarding application of Topic 740, Income Taxes, in the reporting period that includes December 22, 2017 – the date on which the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was signed into law. The Company has evaluated and concluded that there was no impact on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

 

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07: “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) – Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting”. This ASU expands the scope of Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation (which currently only includes share-based payments to employees) to include share-based payments issued to nonemployees for goods or services. Consequently, the accounting for share-based payments to nonemployees and employees will be substantially aligned. This ASU supersedes Subtopic 505-50, Equity—Equity-Based Payments to Nonemployees. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. For all other companies, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than a company’s adoption date of Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company does not currently expect the adoption of the amendment to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

 

In July 2018, the FSAB issued ASU 2018-10 ASC Topic 842: “Codification Improvements to Leases” The amendments are to address stakeholders’ questions about how to apply certain aspects of the new guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 842, Leases. The clarifications address the rate implicit in the lease, impairment of the net investment in the lease, lessee reassessment of lease classification, lessor reassessment of lease term and purchase options, variable payments that depend on an index or rate and certain transition adjustments. The amendments in ASC Topic 842 are effective for EGC for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. While early application is permitted, including adoption in an interim period, the Company has not elected to early adopt. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this accounting standard update on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842). This update provides entities with an additional (and optional) transition method to adopt the new leases standard. Under this method, an entity initially applies the new leases standard at the adoption date and recognizes a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. Consequently, the prior comparative period’s financials will remain the same as those previously presented. Entities that elect this optional transition method must provide the disclosures that were previously required. The Company is evaluating the effect this new guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement,” to improve the effectiveness of disclosures in the notes to financial statements related to recurring or nonrecurring fair value measurements by removing amounts and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the policy for timing of transfers between levels, and the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. The new standard requires disclosure of the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. The amendments in this update are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019 .

 

 

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes” to remove specific exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and to simplify accounting for income taxes. The standard is effective for public companies for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this accounting standard update on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01, “Investments-Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815,” which clarifies the interaction of the accounting for equity investments under Topic 321 and investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting in Topic 323 and the accounting for certain forward contracts and purchased options accounted for under Topic 815. The standard is effective for public companies for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this accounting standard update on its consolidated financial statements.

If the Market Price of one share of Common Stock is greater than the Exercise Price, the Holder may elect to receive Warrant Shares pursuant to a cashless exercise, in lieu of a cash exercise, equal to the value of this Warrant determined in the manner described below (or of any portion thereof remaining unexercised) by surrender of this Warrant and a Notice of Exercise, in which event the Company shall issue to Holder a number of Common Stock computed using the formula of X = Y (A-B)/A, where X, Y, A, B are as below.

 

X = the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to Holder.

Y = the number of Warrant Shares that the Holder elects to purchase under this

Warrant (at the date of such calculation).

A = the Market Price (at the date of such calculation).

B = Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation).

 

The exercise prices for all the warrants are subject to anti-dilution adjustments. If the Company issues common stocks under a purchase agreement, issue options, or convert notes to common stocks at a lower price than the warrant exercise prices while the warrants are still outstanding, such lower price is the base price that the warrant exercise price can be reduced to. As such, the Holder will receive additional warrant shares to keep the same warrant value as the original issuance before the exercise price is adjusted down.

 

A summary of the status of the Company’s warrants as of August 31, 2020 is presented below. The number of shares is adjusted in accordance with the anti-dilution adjustment and equals the original number of warrant shares times the original exercise prices divided by based prices. Base price is either the note conversion price or the share issuance price used by the Company while the warrants are outstanding.

 

		Number of warrants

NOTE 11 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

The Company applies ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 requires disclosures to be provided on fair value measurement.

 

ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

 

Level 1 — Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 — Include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.

 

ASC 820 describes three main approaches to measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities: (1) market approach; (2) income approach; and (3) cost approach. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated from market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present value amount. The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. The cost approach is based on the amount that would currently be required to replace an asset.

 

Derivative liabilities of conversion features in convertible notes are classified within Level 3. We estimate the fair values of these liabilities at August 31, 2020 by using Monte Carlo simulation based on the remaining contractual terms, risk-free interest rates, and expected volatility of the stock prices, etc. The assumptions used, including the market value of stock prices in the future and the expected volatilities, were subjective unobservable inputs.

 

 

Liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of August 31, 2020 are summarized below:

 

			Fair value measurement using:
			Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1)				Significant other observable inputs   ( Level 2)				Unobservable inputs ( Level 3)				Fair value at August 31, 2020
Derivative liabilities		$	—			$	—			$	64,584			$	64,584

 

 

		Derivative liabilities embedded in convertible notes
Fair value at September 1, 2019		$	—
Increase in liability			18,084
Fair value at November 30, 2019			18,084

NOTE 12– RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

In support of the Company’s efforts and cash requirements, it may rely on advances from related parties until such time that the Company can support its operations or attains adequate financing through sales of its equity or traditional debt financing.

In July 2020, the Company changed the service scope of this agreement and turned it into a website maintenance contract over the next two years. The major website of this Company is ABQQ.tv for video streaming. The contract amount remains to be $128,000, out of which $108,800 was previously paid and $19,200 will be due on the twenty first month after the contract related signing date of July 31, 2020.

The Company has completed the accounting for the effects of the Act. The Company’s financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2019 reflect certain effects of the Act which includes a reduction in the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% as well as other changes.

 

Components of net deferred tax assets, including a valuation allowance, are as follows as of August 31, 2020 and August 31, 2019:

		August 31,				August 31,
		2020				2019
Deferred tax asset attributable to:
Net operating loss carry over		$	447,765			$	201,056
Less: valuation allowance			(447,765	)			(201,056)
Net deferred tax asset		$	—			$	—

 

The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets was $447,765 as of August 31, 2020 and $201,056 as of August 31, 2019. In assessing the recovery of the deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income in the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversals of future deferred tax assets, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. As a result, management determined it was more likely than not the deferred tax assets would not be realized as of August 31, 2020 and August 31, 2019.

 

Reconciliation between the statutory rate and the effective tax rate is as follows for the years ended August 31, 2020 and August 31, 2019:

NOTE 17 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS  

 

In accordance with ASC 855-10, the Company has analyzed its operations subsequent to August 31, 2020 to the date these financial statements were issued.

 

Covid-19 impact:

 

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) surfaced. The spread of COVID-19 around the world in the first quarter of 2020 has caused significant volatility in the U.S. and international markets. The ultimate disruption which may be caused by the outbreak is uncertain; however, it may result in a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position, operations and cash flows. It is too early to quantify the impact this situation will have on company revenue and profits at this time. Possible areas that may be affected include, but are not limited to, disruption to the Company’s customers and revenue, labor workforce, unavailability of supplies used in operations, etc. Accordingly, Management is evaluating the Company’s liquidity position, reduction in revenues, and reviewing the analysis of the Company’s financial performance as the Company seeks to withstand the uncertainty related to the coronavirus. As no large-crowd gathering has been allowed since the outbreak of COVID-19, the Company has not generated any revenue from the Ai Bian Quan Qiu performance matching platform. Consequently, the Company has decided to impair all of the intangible asset carrying value related to the Ai Bian Quan Qiu performance matching platform and its Wechat official account, given that it is uncertain whether this platform will continue generating any revenue.

On September 1, 2020, the Company received the outstanding cash investment from Mingpeng Ou for issuing 3,000,000 shares of common stocks at a price of $0.0205 per share. Therefore, $61,500 due from shareholder at August 31, 2020 was reduced to zero.

NOTE 18 – GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTIES

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future.

 

As of August 31, 2020, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $2,970,881. For the year ended August 31, 2020, the Company incurred a net loss of $1,523,071 and the net cash used in operations was $1,263,370. Losses have principally occurred as a result of the substantial resources required for general and administrative expenses associated with our operations. The continuation of the Company as a going concern through August 31, 2020 is dependent upon the continued financial support from its stockholders or external financing. Management believes the existing stockholders will provide the additional cash to meet with the Company’s obligations as they become due. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in securing sufficient funds to sustain the operations.

 

These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Management believes that the actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and implement its strategic plan provides the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.

Item 14. Indemnification of Officers And Directors

 

Nevada Law

 

The Nevada Revised Statutes limits or eliminates the personal liability of directors to corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of directors’ fiduciary duties as directors. Our bylaws include provisions that require the company to indemnify our directors or officers against monetary damages for actions taken as a director or officer of our Company. We are also expressly authorized to carry directors’ and officers’ insurance to protect our directors, officers, employees and agents for certain liabilities. Our articles of incorporation do not contain any limiting language regarding director immunity from liability.

 

The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions under the Nevada Revise Statutes and our bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duties. These provisions may also have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders. However, these provisions do not limit or eliminate our rights, or those of any stockholder, to seek non-monetary relief such as injunction or rescission in the event of a breach of a director’s fiduciary duties. Moreover, the provisions do not alter the liability of directors under the federal securities laws. In addition, your investment may be adversely affected to the extent that, in a class action or direct suit, we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions.

  

Item 15. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

 

The sales and issuances of the securities described below were made pursuant to the exemptions from registration contained in to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D under the Securities Act. Each purchaser represented that such purchaser’s intention to acquire the shares for investment only and not with a view toward distribution. We requested our stock transfer agent to affix appropriate legends to the stock certificate issued to each purchaser and the transfer agent affixed the appropriate legends. Each purchaser was given adequate access to sufficient information about us to make an informed investment decision. Except as described in this prospectus, none of the securities were sold through an underwriter and accordingly, there were no underwriting discounts or commissions involved.

 

The Company issued and cancelled the following common shares during the year ended August 31, 2020:

·

10,000,000 common shares issued at $0.035 per share to five unrelated parties for proceeds of $350,000 during Q4, FY2020. The five unrelated parties include All In One Media Limited, Capitalive Holdings Limited,KangDi Liu, Yilin Liu, and Zestv Features Limited.

 

·

11,000,000 common shares issued at $0.0205 per share to five unrelated parties for proceeds of $225,500 during Q4, FY2020. The five unrelated parties include All In One Media Limited, KangDi Liu, Mingpeng Ou , Weishan Jian , Xinyang Liu.

 

·

18,014,401 common shares issued from note conversions for total proceeds of $309,894. Please refer to Note 9 for detailed conversion price.

 

·

3,250,000 common shares issued from warrant exercise at $0.03 and $0.0205 per share for total proceeds of $43,247 during Q4, FY 2020.

 

·

425,000 restricted common shares cancelled due to the resignations of Secretary and Treasurer, Chief Marketing Officer, and Chief Operating Officer, who received these shares from the upfront issuances of restricted shares as stock-based compensation upon inauguration.

 

We believe that the current cash balances together with revenue anticipated to be generated from operations will not be sufficient to meet our current working capital needs. We will seek further funding from either share issuances or debt financing. Should we not be successful, we may have to curtail our operations significantly. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, our ability to generate revenue has been significantly impacted. We anticipate that we will restart generating revenue once we launch the video streaming service. However, it is difficult to determine when we may start to generate revenue from operation.

ITEM 17. Undertakings

 

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes

 

1.

To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 

i.

To include any Prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

 

ii.

To reflect in the Prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of Prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement.

  

iii.

To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

 

 

2.

That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

3.

To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

4.

That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities: The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

  

i.

Any Preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

 

ii.

Any free writing Prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

 

iii.

The portion of any other free writing Prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

 

iv.

Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

 

5.

That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser: Each Prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than Prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or Prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or Prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or Prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the corporation in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by a controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and will be governed by the final adjudication of such case.
