AF OCEAN INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Three Month Period Ended March 31, 2016 and 2015

NOTE 1. NATURE OF BUSINESS
Organization.
AF Ocean Investment Management Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida on April 2, 2003. We have one wholly-owned subsidiary, AF Ocean Investment Management Company (Shanghai Ltd.) (the “Subsidiary”), which we acquired as of July 6, 2012. AF Ocean Investment Management Company (together with the Subsidiary, the “Company”, “AF Ocean” “our” or “we”) promotes business relations and exchanges between Chinese and U.S. companies, facilitating international mergers and acquisitions, and increasing co-operation between Chinese companies and Wall Street financial institutions. Our mission is to help Wall Street investors identify and work with respectable and reputable Chinese counterparts and companies and assist Chinese corporations to understand that the only way to benefit from the world’s biggest capital market is through strict and consistent adherence to the rules and regulations that govern companies listed on U.S. stock exchanges. However, we are in the process of a strategic change in operations due to our acquisition in July 2014 of non-patented technology relating to a new energy electric vehicle based on electromagnetic induction (the “Technology”). We believe that our primary business enterprise going forward will be based on the Technology.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of (a) the result of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2016 and 2015; (b) the financial position at March 31, 2016; and (c) cash flows for the three month period ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, have been made. Management believes that these estimates are reasonable and have been discussed with the Board of Directors; however, actual results could differ from those estimates. Operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2016.

The accompanying unaudited financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. For further information regarding the Company's significant accounting policies, refer to the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 14, 2016.

Cash and Cash Equivalents.
The majority of cash for our Subsidiary is maintained with a major financial institution in Shanghai, China. There are also funds held in the United States.  Deposits with these banks may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits.  Generally, these deposits may be redeemed on demand and, therefore, bear minimal risk.  The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. All amounts referenced in these financial statements and this report are in U.S. Dollars unless otherwise stated.

Property and Equipment.
Property and equipment is stated at cost.  Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method over estimated useful lives. The carrying amount of all long-lived assets is evaluated periodically to determine if adjustment to the depreciation and amortization period or the unamortized balance is warranted. Based upon its most recent analysis, the Company believes that no impairment of property and equipment exists at March 31, 2016.
 
Foreign Currency Gain (Loss).
The Company addressed the effect of the exchange rate differences resulting from the translation of the consolidated financial statements of the Subsidiary into the consolidated corporate statements on the Balance Sheet with an Exchange rate loss of ($1,467) during the three month ended March 31, 2016. The effect of the foreign currency translation is recorded in comprehensive income.  The relative value of the Chinese CNY to the United States USD remained relatively constant during the three month period ended March 31, 2016 ranging from .151 to .155, CNY to the USD.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets.
Long-lived assets such as property, equipment and identifiable intangibles are reviewed for impairment whenever facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. When required, impairment losses on assets to be held and used are recognized based on the fair value of the asset. The fair value is determined based on estimates of future cash flows, market value of similar assets, if available, or independent appraisals, if required. If the carrying amount of the long-lived asset is not recoverable from its undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the carrying amount and fair value of the asset. When fair values are not available, the Company estimates fair value using the expected future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk associated with the recovery of the assets. We did not recognize any impairment losses for any periods presented.

Revenue Recognition.
Revenue from consulting and management services is recognized according to the terms of the consulting and management services agreements. Generally, consulting and management services revenue will be recognized over the term of the agreement.  At times deposits or prepayments may result in deferred income which will be recognized into income as the services are performed. During the three month period ended March 31, 2016 we had deferred income of $0.

Share-based Compensation.
The Company may issue stock options whereby all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options are recognized as compensation expense in the consolidated financial statements based on their fair values. That expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). The Company had no common stock options or common stock equivalents granted or outstanding for all periods presented.

The Company accounts for stock-based instruments issued to employees in accordance with ASC Topic 718.  ASC Topic 718 requires companies to recognize in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity based compensation issued to employees.  The value of the portion of an award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense over the requisite service periods using the straight-line attribution method.  The Company accounts for non-employee share-based awards in accordance with the measurement and recognition provisions ASC Topic 505-50.  The Company estimates the fair value of stock options at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

The Company may issue restricted stock for various business and administrative services. Cost for these transactions are measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The value of the common stock is measured at the earlier of (i) the date at which a firm commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached; or (ii) the date at which the counterparty’s performance is complete.

Advertising.
Our advertising expenses are recognized as incurred. There was $25 marketing expenses during the three month period ended March 31, 2016.

Income Taxes.
The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the provisions of ASC 740-10, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” which requires, among other things, an asset and liability approach to calculating deferred income taxes.  The asset and liability approach requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is provided to offset any net deferred tax assets for which management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred asset will not be realized.
Earnings per Share.
In accordance with ASC 260-10, “Earnings Per Share”, basic net earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net earnings (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share are computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common stock equivalent shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings (loss) per share calculations are determined by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares plus the effect of the dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method.
Diluted income per share includes the dilutive effects of stock options, warrants, and stock equivalents.  To the extent stock options, stock equivalents and warrants are anti-dilutive; they are excluded from the calculation of diluted income per share.

Segment Information.
In accordance with the provisions of ASC 280-10, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”, the Company is required to report financial and descriptive information about its reportable operating segments which meet the quantitative thresholds delineated. The Company has one reporting segment that does not meet any of the quantitative thresholds to require separate reporting. However, see Note 9 for limited disclosure.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements.
The Company reviews new accounting standards as issued. No new standards had any material effect on these consolidated financial statements. The accounting pronouncements issued subsequent to the date of these consolidated financial statements that were considered significant by management were evaluated for the potential effect on these consolidated financial statements. Management does not believe any of the subsequent pronouncements will have a material effect on these consolidated financial statements as presented.
 
NOTE 3. GOING CONCERN
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of March 31, 2016, current assets exceeded current liabilities by $189,490. Total assets decreased from $876,995 at December 31, 2015 to $854,314 at March 31, 2016, and total liabilities decreased from $357,838 at December 31, 2015 to $356,036 at March 31, 2016.
We had revenue from management services fees of $67,669 and a net loss of ($22,346) for the three month period ended March 31, 2016 as compared to revenue of $38,100 and a net loss of ($78,449) for the three month period ended March 31, 2015. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 6. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
On December 23, 2013, the Subsidiary entered into a management agreement with ChinAmerica Andy Movie Entertainment Media Company, a Florida corporation (“ChinAmerica”), for the collection and maintenance of all funds received in the People's Republic of China on behalf of ChinAmerica. All deposits received in China incur a management fee of ten percent (10%) due to the Subsidiary. As of March 31, 2016, the current balance in the account held on behalf of ChinAmerica is $346,886.
Commencing on May 1, 2015, the Company renewed for one year the agreement with ChinAmerica and Sichuan Leaders Petrochemical Company to provide management services. ChinAmerica pays the Company $20,000 and Sichuan Leaders pays the Company $1,996 per month for management and accounting related services including, without limitation, preparing periodic and other reports required to be filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, preparing financial reports, bookkeeping, managing their websites, handling previous employee matters, and related governmental filings, handling advertising matters, and processing payables. As of March 31, 2016, payments totaling $67,269 had been received from both companies for these management services.
As of March 31, 2016, there is an outstanding related party receivable of $5,500, compared to $5,500 at December 31, 2015.  Interest accrued on the related party receivable is $622 as of March 31, 2016.
As of March 31, 2016 there is an outstanding receivable due to the Company from a related party in the amount of $11,193 to handle management and accounting related services including the bookkeeping, managing their websites, handling employee matters, and related governmental filings, processing payables and payroll.

The Company has no options or warrants issued or outstanding.
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
As of March 31, 2016, the Company had 5,000,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock issued and outstanding, reflecting no change since December 31, 2015.
NOTE 8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
On December 23, 2013, the Subsidiary entered into a management agreement with ChinAmerica. ChinAmerica has operations' in China and will be receiving payment for such operations in China. Because China employs strict currency regulations that are designed to prevent large amounts of currency moving out of the country, ChinAmerica retained the Subsidiary to manage the money it receives from its Chinese operations. All deposits received in China incur a management fee of ten percent (10%) due to the Subsidiary. As of March 31, 2016, the current balance in the account held on behalf of ChinAmerica is $346,886.

Commencing May 1, 2015, the Company renewed the management services agreement with ChinAmerica and Sichuan to provide management services for an additional year to both related parties. All of the revenue received during the three month period ended March 31, 2016, totaling $67,269 was from management services fees paid by ChinAmerica and Sichuan.

The amounts and terms of the above transaction may not necessarily be indicative of the amounts and terms that would have been incurred had comparable transactions been entered into with independent third parties.
NOTE 9. SEGMENT REPORTING
The Company acquired one operating segment, the Subsidiary, during the third quarter of 2012. We intend to develop a provider of business services to Chinese individuals who have investments in U.S. companies. There was no revenue during the three month period ended March 31, 2016. The following are the expenses attributed to the Subsidiary for the three month period ended March 31, 2016. At this time, the operating segment does not meet any of the quantitative thresholds which would require separate reporting of its operations, however, management believes that the following information about the segment would be useful to readers of the consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On April 15, 2016 a payment was received in the amount of $4,000 from a related party. Management has evaluated subsequent events through May 16, 2016 the date the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued. Management is not aware of any other significant events that occurred subsequent to the balance sheet date that would have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements thereby requiring adjustment or disclosure.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors discussed elsewhere in this report.

Overview and Going Concern

AF Ocean Investment Management Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida on April 2, 2003. We have one wholly-owned subsidiary, AF Ocean Investment Management Company (Shanghai Ltd.) (the “Subsidiary”), which we acquired as of July 6, 2012. AF Ocean Investment Management Company and the Subsidiary are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Company”, “we” or “our.” We promote business relations and exchanges between Chinese and U.S. companies, facilitating international mergers and acquisitions, and increasing co-operation between Chinese companies and Wall Street financial institutions.  Our mission is to help Wall Street investors identify and work with respectable and reputable Chinese counterparts and companies and assist Chinese corporations to understand that the only way to benefit from the world’s biggest capital market is through strict and consistent adherence to the rules and regulations that govern companies listed on U.S. stock exchanges. We believe we can and will continue to do so during the next twelve months. However, we are in the process of a strategic change in operations due to our acquisition in July 2014 of non-patented technology relating to a new energy electric vehicle based on electromagnetic induction (the “Technology”). We believe that our primary business enterprise going forward will be based on this Technology.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of March 31, 2016, current assets exceeded current liabilities by $189,490. Total assets decreased from $876,995 at December 31, 2015 to $854,314 at March 31, 2016, and total liabilities increased from $357,838 at December 31, 2015 to $356,036 at March 31, 2016.

We had revenue from management services fees of $67,669 and a net loss of ($22,346) for the three month period ended March 31, 2016 as compared to revenue of $38,100 and a net loss of ($78,449) for the three month period ended March 31, 2015. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon us generating profitable operations in the future and/or obtaining the necessary financing to meet our obligations and repay our liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. No assurance can be given that we will be successful in these efforts.
In the event we are unable to generate sufficient funds to continue our business efforts or if we are pursued by a larger company for a business combination, we will analyze all strategies to continue the Company and maintain or increase shareholder value. Under these circumstances, we would consider a merger, acquisition, joint venture, strategic alliance, a roll-up, or other business combination for the purposes of continuing the business and maintaining or increasing shareholder value. Management believes its responsibility to maintain shareholder value is of paramount importance, which means we should consider the aforementioned alternatives in the event funding is not available on favorable terms to us when needed.

Revenue From Operations. For the three month period ended March 31, 2016, total revenue was $67,669 as compared to $38,100 for the three month period ended March 31, 2015. Loss from operations was ($22,530) for the three month period ended March 31, 2016 as compared to ($78,590) for the three month period ended March 31, 2015. The decrease in revenue is attributable to an absence of employment contracts and the reduction in management fees paid by ChinAmerica for management services in Shanghai during three month period ended March 31, 2016. All of our revenue for the three month period ended March 31, 2016 was from management services fees paid by ChinAmerica and Sichuan Leaders Petrochemical Company (“Sichuan”) in the U.S, except $400 related to consulting fees to an unrelated party. We received the $67,269 from ChinAmerica and Sichuan in connection with management services agreements.

Expenses. Total expenses decreased by $26,491 to $90,199 for the three month period ended March 31, 2016 as compared to $116,690 for the three month period ended March 31, 2015. The decrease was directly attributable to the legal fees.

Net Income (Loss). As a result of the decrease in legal fees explained above, and decrease in revenues, our net loss decreased by $56,103 to ($22,346) for the three month period ended March 31, 2016 as compared to ($78,449) for the three month period ended March 31, 2015.
Liquidity and Capital Resources

General. As of March 31, 2016, there is an additional $9,119 that is due to “funds held by related party” as compared to cash and cash equivalents of $60,741 as of March 31, 2015. We have met our cash needs through consulting and management services fees. Our cash requirements are generally for professional services and general and administrative activities. We do not believe that our cash balance and expected consulting and management services fees are sufficient to finance our cash requirements for expected operational activities going forward, and therefore we will require additional funding through either loans or the sale of equity, or both.

Operating Activities. Our operating activities used cash of ($62,208) for the three month period ended March 31, 2016 as compared to cash used of ($80,556) for the three month period ended March 31, 2015.
Investing Activities. Our investing activities provided cash of $0 for the three month period ended March 31, 2016, as compared to cash used of $0 for the three month period ended March 31, 2015.

Financing Activities. Our financing activities provided cash of $0 for the three month period ended March 31, 2016 as compared to cash used of $56,093 for the three month period ended March 31, 2015.

Cash Flow. The following table provides a summary of our cash flows for the three month period ended March 31, 2016 and 2015.

Income Taxes

At this time there is not an income tax expense to report. However, at the end of each fiscal quarter we evaluate income tax liability under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the consolidated financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the consolidated financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

We record net deferred tax assets to the extent we believe these assets will more likely than not be realized. In making such determination, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operations. In the event we were to determine that we would be able to realize our deferred income tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, we would make an adjustment to the valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

Long-lived assets such as property, equipment and identifiable intangibles are reviewed for impairment whenever facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. When required impairment losses on assets to be held and used are recognized based on the fair value of the asset. The fair value is determined based on estimates of future cash flows, market value of similar assets, if available, or independent appraisals, if required. If the carrying amount of the long-lived asset is not recoverable from its undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the carrying amount and fair value of the asset. When fair values are not available, we estimate fair value using the expected future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk associated with the recovery of the assets. We did not recognize any impairment losses for any periods presented.
Inflation  

Inflation does not materially affect our business or the results of our operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States (“GAAP”). GAAP represents a comprehensive set of accounting and disclosure rules and requirements. The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Our actual results could differ from those estimates. We use historical data to assist in the forecast of our future results. Deviations from our projections are addressed when our financials are reviewed on a monthly basis. This allows us to be proactive in our approach to managing our business. It also allows us to rely on proven data rather than having to make assumptions regarding our estimates.

Management does not believe that our actual results are related to any sensitivity in estimates made by management. The year-end consistency of our results has shown that our prior year’s historical data is the best projector of our future results.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

We have reviewed all the recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and we do not believe any of these pronouncements will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The company does not own any market sensitive financial instruments, subject to market risk as identified in Reg S-K, Item 305.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 With respect to the period ending March 31, 2016, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operations of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Based upon our evaluation regarding the period ending March 31, 2016, the Company’s management, including its Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, has concluded that its disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the Company’s limited internal resources and lack of ability to have multiple levels of transaction review.  Material weaknesses noted are lack of an audit committee, lack of a majority of outside directors on the board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; and management is dominated by two individuals, without adequate compensating controls. However, through the review process, management believes that the financial statements and other information presented herewith are materially correct.
 
The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives.  However, the Company’s management, including its Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.  Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefit of controls must be considered relative to their costs.  Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
