DBUB GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2019 (UNAUDITED) AND DECEMBER 31, 2018 

 

Note 1 - ORGANIZATION

DBUB Group, Inc. (the “Company” or “DBUB”) is a Nevada corporation, organized on August 20, 1998 under the name Editworks Ltd. The Company changed its name several times since incorporation. On December 21, 2012, the Company changed its name to Yosen Group, Inc. On September 5, 2018, the Company changed its name to DBUB Group Inc. pursuant to a merger of the Company with its wholly-owned subsidiary, DBUB Group Inc., a Nevada corporation.

The Company’s former business was conducted through Capital Future Developments Limited (“Capital”).  On May 22, 2018, the Company transferred all of its equity in Capital and its  affiliates to the former chief executive officer  for the transfer by him to the Company of 1,738,334 shares of common stock, which was the common stock owned by him pursuant to an agreement  dated March 29, 2018.  The 1,738,334 shares of common stock were canceled on May 22, 2018 . The transfer of the equity in Capital included Capital’s subsidiaries and Capital’s equity interest in its affiliates. The Company’s former business is treated as a discontinued operation. 

On February 6, 2018, the Company established a wholly owned subsidiary in British Virgin Islands, DB-Link Ltd (“DB-Link”). The Company plans to operate franchising  or operations of restaurants through DB-Link. On June 12, 2018, the Company established a wholly owned subsidiary DBUB PTE. LTD (“DBUB Pte”) in Singapore. On August 30, 2018, the Company established Huantai (Shanghai) Catering Management Co, Ltd. (“Huantai”), a wholly foreign owned subsidiary in China to execute its plan to execute its restaurant franchise business.

ORGANIZATIONAL CHART 

The Company’s corporate structure as of June 30, 2019 is as follows:

 

Note 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation 

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

The consolidated interim financial information as of June 30, 2019 and for the six and three month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was prepared without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and footnote disclosures, which are normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP were not included. The interim consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and the notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, previously filed with the SEC. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present a fair statement of the Company’s consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2019, results of operations for the six and three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, as applicable, were made. The interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future periods.

The parent company has no operations. Its main activities were incurring expenses arising from its status as a public company in the United States.

Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements (“CFS”) were prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company had a net loss of $855,262. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $30.73 million as of June 30, 2019. There can be no assurance that the Company will become profitable or obtain necessary financing for its business or that it will be able to continue in business. As of June 30, 2019, related parties, including the Company’s chief executive officer, made advances to the Company of $2.21 million. These issues raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

In addition to develop the current restaurant operation business, the Company is also seeking additional potential assets, properties or businesses to acquire, in a business combination, by reorganization, merger or acquisition.  The plan of operation for the next 12 months is to: (i) determine which industries in which the Company may have an interest; (ii) adopt a business plan regarding engaging in the business of any selected industry; and (iii) commence operations through funding a start-up enterprise and/or acquiring an existing business or entering into a business combination with a “going concern” engaged in any industry selected.  The Company is unable to predict when and if it may actually participate in any specific business endeavor, and the Company will be unable to do so until it determines the particular industry in which the Company may conduct business operations.

 

Principles of Consolidation

The CFS include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, DB-Link, DBUB Pte and Huantai. All material intercompany accounts, transactions, balances and profits were eliminated in consolidation.

Currency Translation

The reporting currency of the Company is the United States dollar. The accounts of Huantai were maintained, and its financial statements were expressed RMB and the accounts of DBUB Pte Singapore dollars (SGD), which are the respective functional currency of the subsidiaries. The Company’s financial statements were translated into United States dollars in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 830-10, ”Foreign Currency Translation,” with the RMB and SGD as the functional currency. According to FASB ASC Topic 830-10, assets and liabilities were translated at the ending exchange rate, stockholders’ equity is translated at the historical rates and income statement items are translated at the average exchange rate for the year. The resulting translation adjustments are reported as other comprehensive income in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 220, ”Reporting Comprehensive Income,” as a component of shareholders’ equity. Transaction gains and losses are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

The impact of foreign translation from our accounts in RMB and SGD to U.S. dollars on the Company’s operating results was not material for the six and three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. During the translation process, the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries are translated into US dollars at period-end exchange rates. The revenues and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at average exchange rates of the periods. Resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income within stockholders’ equity 

   Six Months Ended June 30,
   2019  2018
RMB to USD exchange rate at period end   0.1474    0.1511 
Average RMB to USD exchange rate for the period   0.1457    0.1571 

 

    
   Six months Ended June 30,
   2019  2018
SGD to USD exchange rate at period end   0.7358    N/A   
Average SGD to USD exchange rate for the period   0.7389    N/A   

 9 

 

Transaction gains or losses arising from exchange rate fluctuation on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency were included in the consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. As a result of the translation, the Company recorded a foreign currency income of $644 and $86,748 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. As a result of the translation, the Company recorded a foreign currency income of $11,896 and $253,862 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These significant accounting estimates or assumptions bear the risk of change because there are uncertainties attached to these estimates or assumptions, and certain estimates or assumptions are difficult to measure or value. 

Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Management regularly evaluates the key factors and assumptions used to develop the estimates utilizing currently available information, changes in facts and circumstances, historical experience and reasonable assumptions. After such evaluations, if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted accordingly.  Actual results could differ from those estimates. 

Business Combinations

For a business combination, the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree are recognized at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date. In a business combination achieved in stages, the identifiable assets and liabilities, as well as the non-controlling interest in the acquiree, are recognized at the full amounts of their fair values. In a bargain purchase in which the total acquisition-date fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired exceeds the fair value of the consideration transferred plus any non-controlling interest in the acquiree, that excess in fair value is recognized as a gain attributable to the acquirer.

Deferred tax liability and assets are recognized for the deferred tax consequences of differences between the tax bases and the recognized values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination in accordance with FASB ASC Subtopic 740-10.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company is subject to risks from, among other things, intense competition associated with the industry in general, other risks associated with financing, liquidity requirements, rapidly changing customer tastes and requirements, limited operating history, foreign currency exchange rates and the volatility of public markets as well as other risks associated with the restaurant and related industries.

In addition, the Company’s operations are in the PRC and Singapore. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environments in the PRC and Singapore and by the general state of the PRC’s and Singapore’s economy. The Company’s business may be influenced by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.

Contingencies

The Company follows subtopic 450-20 of the FASB ASC to report accounting for contingencies. Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur.  The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment.

In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein. 

If the assessment of a contingency indicates it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements.  If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.

Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed.  Management does not believe, based upon information available at this time, that these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, there is no assurance that such matters will not materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial position, and results of operations or cash flows. 

Cash and Equivalents  

Cash and equivalents include cash on hand, demand deposits placed with banks or other financial institutions and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less as of the purchase date of such investments. 

Accounts Receivable, net

The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves.

Property and Equipment, net

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to earnings as incurred; additions, renewals and betterments are capitalized. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided using the straight-line method for substantially all assets with estimated lives of:

Automotive   5 years 
Office Equipment   5 years 

As of June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, property and equipment consisted of the following:

   2019  2018
Automotive  $107,145   $116,284 
Office Equipment   150,736    —   
Subtotal   257,881    116,284 
Less: accumulated depreciation   (25,688)   (8,278)
Total  $232,193   $108,006 

 11 

 

 

Depreciation for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was $17,434 and $37,991, respectively. Depreciation for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was $8,769 and $18,639, respectively.

Long-Lived Assets

The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used in accordance with FASB ASC 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment,” which requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amounts. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value (“FV”) of the long-lived assets. Losses on long-lived assets to be disposed of are determined in a similar manner, except that FV are reduced for the cost of disposal. Based on its review, the Company believes that, as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, there were no significant impairments of its long-lived assets not related to the discontinued operations.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

For certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and equivalents, accrued liabilities and accounts payable, carrying amounts approximate their FV due to their short maturities. FASB ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments,” requires disclosure of the FV of financial instruments held by the Company. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of their FVs because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and the current market rate of interest.

Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures

 

FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” defines FV, and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for FV measures. The three levels are defined as follow:

Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
   
Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
   
Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the FV measurement.

 

As of June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, the Company did not identify any assets and liabilities that are required to be presented on the balance sheet at FV.

 

Revenue Recognition 

In May 2014 the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedes all existing revenue recognition requirements, including most industry-specific guidance. This new standard requires a company to recognize revenues when it transfers goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that the company expects to receive for those goods or services. The FASB subsequently issued the following amendments to ASU No. 2014-09 that have the same effective date and transition date: ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations; ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing; ASU No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients; and ASU No. 2016-20, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

 12 

 

The new revenue standards became effective for the Company on January 1, 2018, and were adopted using the modified retrospective method. The adoption of the new revenue standards as of January 1, 2018 did not change the Company’s revenue recognition as the Company does not have any revenue yet. As the Company will not identify any accounting changes that impacted the amount of reported revenues with respect to its product revenues, no adjustment to retained earnings will be required upon adoption.

Under the new revenue standards, the Company recognizes revenues when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which it expects to receive in exchange for those goods. The Company recognizes revenues following the five step model prescribed under ASU No. 2014-09: (i) identify contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenues when (or as) we satisfy the performance obligation.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses are comprised principally of payroll and benefits costs for corporate employees, occupancy costs of corporate facilities, lease expenses, management fees, traveling expenses and other operating and administrative expenses, including freight charges, purchase and delivery costs, internal transfer freight charges and other distribution costs.

Share Based Payment

The Company accounts for share-based compensation to employees in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, which requires that share-based payment transactions with employees be measured based on the grant-date FV of the equity instrument issued and recognized as compensation expense over the requisite service period.

The Company accounts for share-based compensation awards to non-employees in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 and FASB ASC Subtopic 505-50, “Equity-Based Payments to Non-employees”. Share-based compensation associated with the issuance of equity instruments to non-employees is measured at the FV of the equity instrument issued or committed to be issued, as this is more reliable than the FV of the services received. The FV is measured at the date that the commitment for performance by the counterparty has been reached or the counterparty’s performance is complete.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for using an asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates, applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

The Company follows ASC Topic 740, which prescribes a more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC Topic 740 also provides guidance on recognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, accounting for income taxes in interim periods, and income tax disclosures.

Under the provisions of ASC Topic 740, when tax returns are filed, it is likely that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. Interest associated with unrecognized tax benefits are classified as interest expense and penalties are classified in selling, general and administrative expenses in the statements of income. At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company did not take any uncertain positions that would necessitate recording a tax related liability.

DBUB is subject to U.S. corporate income taxes on its taxable income at a rate of up to 21% for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017 and U.S. corporate income tax on its taxable income of up to 35% for prior tax years. On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cut and Jobs Act (“Tax Act”) was signed into law. The Tax Act introduced a broad range of tax reform measures that significantly changed the federal income tax laws. The provisions of the Tax Act that may have significant impact on the Company, including the permanent reduction of the corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% effective for tax years including or commencing on January 1, 2018, one-time transition tax on post-1986 foreign unremitted earnings, provision for Global Intangible Low Tax Income (“GILTI”), deduction for Foreign Derived Intangible Income (“FDII”), repeal of the corporate alternative minimum tax, limitation of various business deductions, and modification of the maximum deduction of net operating loss with no carryback but indefinite carryforward provision. Many provisions in the Tax Act are generally effective in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017. Taxpayers may elect to pay the one-time transition tax over eight years, or in a single lump-sum payment. 

To the extent that portions of its U.S. taxable income, such as Subpart F income or GILTI, are determined to be from sources outside of the U.S., subject to certain limitations, the Company may be able to claim foreign tax credits to offset its U.S. income tax liabilities. Any remaining liabilities are accrued in the Company’s consolidated statements of comprehensive income and estimated tax payments are made when required by U.S. law. 

The Act also created new taxes on certain foreign-sourced earnings such as global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) under IRC Section 951A, which is effective for the Company for tax years beginning after January 1, 2018. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company has calculated its best estimate of the impact of the GILTI in its income tax provision in accordance with its understanding of the Act and guidance available as of the date of this filing. 

Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) per Share

The Company presents net income (loss) per share (“EPS”) in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earning Per Share.” Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is computed similar to basic EPS except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all the potential common shares, warrants and stock options had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. Diluted EPS is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options and warrants were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method for the outstanding options and warrants, and the if-converted method for the outstanding convertible instruments. Under the treasury stock method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later) and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. Under the if-converted method, outstanding convertible instruments are assumed to be converted into common stock at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later). During the six and three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, there is no any diluted shares, nor any shares, options or warrants that were anti-dilutive.

Statement of Cash Flows

In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 230, “Statement of Cash Flows”, cash flows from the Company’s operations are calculated based upon local currencies. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows may not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet. Cash from operating, investing and financing activities is net of assets and liabilities acquired.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are cash, accounts receivable, advances to suppliers and other receivables arising from its normal business activities. The Company places its cash in what it believes to be credit-worthy financial institutions. Since the Company has not generated any revenues or commenced operations in its continuing business, the Company cannot evaluate the risk of a concentration of credit risk.

Segment Reporting

FASB ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” requires use of the “management approach” model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company’s management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other manner in which management disaggregates a company. Following the Company’s disposal of its existing business in 2018, the Company has one operating segment, the restaurant business, which has not generated any revenues for the six and three months ended June 30, 2019.

Leases

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (ASU 2016-02), as amended, which supersedes the lease accounting guidance under Topic 840, and generally requires lessees to recognize operating and financing lease liabilities and corresponding right-of-use (ROU) assets on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months and to provide enhanced disclosures surrounding the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leasing arrangements. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. The Company concluded the adoption of this new AUS did not have a material impact to the Company’s CFS due to the Company does not have any lease that is longer than 12 months. 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), which requires entities to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early application will be permitted for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the standard will have on its CFS.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, “Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting,” which expands the scope of ASC 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from non-employees. An entity should apply the requirements of ASC 718 to non-employee awards except for specific guidance on inputs to an option pricing model and the attribution of cost. The amendments specify that ASC 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. The new guidance is effective for SEC filers for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019 (i.e., January 1, 2020, for calendar year entities). Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the effects of the adoption of this guidance and currently believes that it will impact the accounting of the share-based awards granted to non-employees.

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future CFS.

Note 9 – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

The Company’s former business was the distribution of imported products, including digital products, baby products, health nutrition and frozen food through its online store, applications on mobile devices and also in physical stores. The Company had sustained continuing losses in this business and did not believe it will be able to operate that business profitably. As a result, the Company transferred the equity in Capital to its former chief executive officer in May 2018. The Company’s former business is treated as a discontinued operation.

As of December 31, 2018, the Company had no assets and liabilities associated with the discontinued operations. As a result of the sale of Capital to former chief executive officer, the Company recognized a gain of $4,077,267 from the disposition of Capital and its affiliates stock in the year ended December 31, 2018. This amount consists of a $2,456,389 gain from sale of the Company’s equity in Capital and its affiliates and $1,620,878 reflecting the principal of loans by Capital on the date of the transfer, which, as a result of the transfer of the equity in Capital, are no longer obligations of the Company. The obligations were liabilities of Capital with no recourse to the Company.

Note 10 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In July 2019, the Company received $2,100 for the issuance of 30,000 common shares for the Company’s working capital needs.

Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in this report and our other filings with the SEC. These reports attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and prospects. The forward-looking statements made in this report speak only as of the date hereof and we disclaim any obligation, except as required by law, to provide updates, revisions or amendments to any forward-looking statements to reflect changes in our expectations or future events.

Overview

From 2007 until the first quarter of 2017, we were engaged in the resale and distribution of third party products such as mobile phones, facsimile machines, DVD players, stereos, speakers, MP3 and MP4 players, iPods, electronic dictionaries, CD players and audio systems. Due to declining sales and continuing losses, we discontinued this business. We had previously imported into China digital products, baby products, health nutrition and frozen food products, but this business was discontinued prior to December 31, 2017.

On February 15, 2018, our directors and officers resigned and we brought in new management and changed our business. Our business plan will be opening, managing and operating upscale restaurants and license our restaurants to restaurant operators. We may also enter into agreements with licensees pursuant to which our wholly-owned subsidiary, DB-Link Ltd, and the licensee would invest in the restaurant. Our business plan contemplates that DB-Link will have a majority interest in the joint venture entity that operates the restaurants, DB-Link will manage the restaurants for which it will receive a management fee, DB-Link will establish a restaurant business related training school to train chefs and wait staff, and DB-Link will operate its own online restaurant supplies store to service the restaurants we own or license. However, we cannot assure you that we will be able to open and operate restaurants or enter into license agreements with qualified licensees or the terms of any license or management agreement.

In furtherance of our plan to engage in the upscale restaurant business, on April 3, 2018, DB-Link entered into an agreement dated March 16, 2018, with Alvin Leung, regarding brand cooperation and the catering business in the initial territory of mainland China. The agreement provides that Mr. Leung will exclusively work with DB-Link in the initial territory and will provide DB-Link with the brand names of “Bo” and “Daimon” in the initial territory, and he granted DB-Link a first right of cooperation before seeking similar cooperation with other third parties in Canada, Hong Kong and Europe. DB-Link’s business will be operated by joint venture entities in which DB-Link will hold a 66% equity interest and Mr. Leung a 34% interest. In addition, DB-Link will pay Mr. Leung RMB 800,000 ($116,000), RMB 550,000 ($80,000) was paid with the remaining balance of $36,000 payable in 2019.

In view of our desire to disengage from our former business, on March 29, 2018, we entered into an agreement with Zhenggang Wang, who was a director, chief executive officer and chairman of the board of the Company until his resignation February 1, 2018, pursuant to which we sold to Mr. Wang all of the stock in our wholly-owned subsidiary, Capital Future Development Limited (“Capital”), a British Virgin Islands company, for the transfer by Mr. Wang to us of 1,738,334 shares of our common stock, all of the common stock owned by Mr. Wang. All of our consolidated liabilities at December 31, 2017 were liabilities of Capital and its subsidiaries, with the result that subsequent to the transfer of the equity in Capital, the liabilities of Capital ceased to be our liabilities. The shares acquired by us were cancelled. All of our former business was conducted through Capital and its subsidiaries. The transfer of the stock of Capital was consummated in May 2018.

 20 

 

Following the transfer of the stock of Capital, we have three subsidiaries, DB-Link, Huantai and DBUB Pte. Our business will be conducted through Huantai and DBUB Pte. We anticipate we will have separate subsidiaries for the restaurants we own or operate although we may have one subsidiary owning more than one restaurant in a city.

On September 5, 2018, we changed our corporate name to DBUB Group Inc. through a merger of our Company with our wholly-owned subsidiary, DBUB Group Inc., a Nevada corporation.

Results of Operations

For the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018

We incurred general and administrative expenses of $342,722 and $69,253, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.

Foreign Currency Translation Adjustments

The impact of foreign translation from our accounts in RMB to US dollar on our operating results was not material. During the translation process, the assets and liabilities of all PRC subsidiaries and Singapore  are translated into US dollars at period end exchange rates. The revenues and expenses are translated into US dollars at average exchange rates of the period. Resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income within stockholders’ equity.

   Six Months Ended June 30,
   2019  2018
RMB to USD exchange rate at period end   0.1474    0.1511 
Average RMB to USD exchange rate for the period   0.1457    0.1571 

 

    
   Six months Ended June 30,
   2019  2018
SGD to USD exchange rate at period end   0.7358    N/A   
Average SGD to USD exchange rate for the period   0.7389    N/A   

Transaction gains or losses arising from exchange rate fluctuation on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency were included in the consolidated results of operations. As a result of the translation, DBUB recorded a foreign currency gain of $644 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and $86,748 for the six months ended June 30, 2018; for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, DBUB recorded a foreign currency gain of $11,896 and $253,862, respectively, which is a separate line item on the Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Operations and liquidity needs are funded primarily through cash flows from advances from related parties including our CEO and an officer and equity financing.

As of June 30, 2019, cash and equivalents were $111,637, the Company’s current assets totaled $635,968, the Company’s current liabilities were $2,531,038, and the Company’s working capital deficiency was $1,895,070. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company’s net cash provided by operating activities was $145,483. Cash and equivalents as of June 30, 2019 were solely bank accounts in the Singapore and China.

As of December 31, 2018, cash and equivalents were $1,554,049, the Company’s current assets totaled $2,840,690, the Company’s current liabilities were $3,652,036, and the Company’s working capital deficiency was $811,346. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company’s net cash used in operating activities was $865,377. Our cash used and provided for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was as follows:

   2019  2018
Net cash provided by operating activities  $145,483   $865,377 
Net cash used in investing activities   (141,336)   (67,789)
Net cash used in financing activities   (1,437,126)   (800,148)
Effect of exchange rate change on cash and equivalents   (9,433)   2,030 
Net increase (decrease) in cash and equivalents   (1,442,412)   (530)
Cash and equivalents at beginning of period   1,554,049    7,881 
Cash and equivalents at end of period  $111,637   $7,351 

Net cash provided by operating activities was $145,483 for the six months ended June 30,2019 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $865,377 for the six months ended June 30, 2018. This decrease in net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was mainly attributable to increase in net loss by $4,573,398 but offset with $4,076,277 net non-cash gain on disposal of discontinued operations, decreased cash inflow from inventories by $159,634, and decreased cash inflow from accrued expenses and other payables by $921,394; which was partly offset by increased cash inflow from other receivables by $300,545, and increased cash inflow from prepaid expenses and deposits by $566,213.

 22 

 

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $141,336. It consisted mainly of equipment purchase of $141,336. Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $67,789, which was attributed to $4,967 equipment purchase and $62,822 payment to Alvin for entering an agreement with him for developing the restaurant business with Alvin’s expertise.

Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $1,437,126. Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $800,148. The increase in cash outflow in the six months ended June 30, 2019 was mainly due to repayment of loan principal and interest to CEO.

Working Capital Requirements

With the change in our business, our working capital requirements relate to our proposed restaurant business. Before we can open any restaurant, we will need sufficient upfront capital to cover our cash outlays before we generate revenue. These expenditures include finding an acceptable location, negotiating a lease and making the initial payments under the lease, making the leasehold improvements, including the purchase or lease of restaurant equipment, obtaining necessary permits, developing relationships with food suppliers and the media, and recruiting and training staff and payroll during the preopening period. Until we have demonstrated that we are able to operate an upscale restaurant profitable, we may have difficulty in obtaining the financing. It may be necessary for us to provide the financing source with an equity position in a restaurant, which would reduce our percentage interest in the restaurant. Our principal source of funds for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was loans from related parties, including our chief executive officer and an officer. These loans had term with range from six to 24 months with annual interest of 24% (see Note 7). To the extent we have to raise funds through the sale of our equity securities, it would be necessary for us to issue equity at a discount from the market price, which could result in significant dilution to our stockholders. We do not have any agreement or understanding with any financing source and we cannot assure you we will be able to obtain the funding required for any restaurant. To the extent we are not able to obtain the necessary financing, we may not be able to open restaurants, which would severely impair our ability to operate profitably. There is no assurance we will be able to raise any funds on terms favorable to us, or at all or that related parties will provide us with short-term financing to meet our immediate cash needs. In the event we issue shares of equity or convertible securities, the shares held by our existing stockholders would be diluted. Future expansion will be limited by the availability of financing products and raising capital.

Going Concern

As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, we had net loss of $855,262 for six months ended June 30, 2019. Our accumulated deficit was $30.73 million as of June 30, 2019. In addition, we don’t have strong cash position, but we have significant cash requirements for our restaurant business. These issues raise substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have not entered into any other financial guarantees or other commitments to guarantee the payment obligations of any third parties. We have not entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to our shares and classified as stockholders’ equity or that are not reflected in our consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, we do not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity. We do not have any variable interest in any unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit support to us or engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with us.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements (“CFS”), which were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported net sales and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 to our CFS, we believe the following accounting policies are the most critical to assist you in fully understanding and evaluating this management discussion and analysis.

Principles of Consolidation

The CFS include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, DB-Link, DBUB Pte and Huantai. All material intercompany accounts, transactions, balances and profits were eliminated in consolidation.

Revenue Recognition

In May 2014 the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedes all existing revenue recognition requirements, including most industry-specific guidance. This new standard requires a company to recognize revenues when it transfers goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that the company expects to receive for those goods or services. The FASB subsequently issued the following amendments to ASU No. 2014-09 that have the same effective date and transition date: ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations; ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing; ASU No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients; and ASU No. 2016-20, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

The new revenue standards became effective for the Company on January 1, 2018, and were adopted using the modified retrospective method. The adoption of the new revenue standards as of January 1, 2018 did not change the Company’s revenue recognition as the Company does not have any revenue yet. As the Company will not identify any accounting changes that impacted the amount of reported revenues with respect to its product revenues, no adjustment to retained earnings will be required upon adoption.

Under the new revenue standards, the Company recognizes revenues when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which it expects to receive in exchange for those goods. The Company recognizes revenues following the five step model prescribed under ASU No. 2014-09: (i) identify contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenues when (or as) we satisfy the performance obligation.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses are comprised principally of payroll and benefits costs for corporate employees, occupancy costs of corporate facilities, lease expenses, management fees, traveling expenses and other operating and administrative expenses, including freight charges, purchase and delivery costs, internal transfer freight charges and other distribution costs.

 24 

 

Segment Reporting

FASB ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” requires use of the “management approach” model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company’s management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other manner in which management disaggregates a company. Following the Company’s disposal of its existing business in 2018, the Company has one operating segment, the restaurant business, which has not generated any revenues for the six and three months ended June 30, 2019.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Not applicable to a smaller reporting company.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, our management conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2019, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of such date, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the material weakness in our internal controls identified in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated, recorded, processed, summarized, communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”) that occurred during our fourth fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our ICFR.
