(Stated in US Dollars)

 

1. Organization and nature of operations

 

Rebel Group, Inc. (f/k/a Inception Technology Group, Inc., also known as Rebel Fighting Championship, its trade name the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida on September 13, 2011. The Company organizes, promotes and hosts mixed martial arts (“MMA”) events featuring top level athletic talent. With assistance from contracted production crews, the Company also produces and distributes, through the internet and social media, and sells the rights to distribute to television stations, videos of its MMA events. The Company seeks to promote MMA in Asian countries by hosting events that attract talented fighters from all over the world.

 

On June 21, 2017, Pure Heart Entertainment Pte Ltd. (“Pure Heart”) formed Rebel Shanghai Limited in Shanghai, China in order to acquire Qingdao Quanyao Sports Consulting Co., Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the PRC (“Qingdao Quanyao”) and to facilitate the Company’s planned business expansion in the southern part of the PRC.

 

On October 1, 2017, the Company entered into a Share Transfer Agreement (the “Share Transfer Agreement”) with Naixin Qi, who was the sole shareholder of Qingdao Quanyao.

 

Pursuant to the Share Transfer Agreement, Pure Heart, through a wholly foreign owned entity (the “WOFE”) agreed to acquire 100% of the outstanding equity interests of Qingdao Quanyao from the Shareholder for a purchase price of $7,000,000 (the “Purchase Price”) including: (i) the forgiveness of debt owed by Qingdao Quanyao Sports Consulting Co. Ltd, a company organized under the laws of PRC (“Quanyao), to Pure Heart as of October 1, 2017, in the amount of approximately $2,825,000 (the “Forgiven Debts”) and (ii) 12,000,000 shares (of common stock of the Company (“Common Stock”), par value $0.0001 per share (the “Shares”) (See Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements for further details).

 

Qingdao Quanyao holds 50% of the issued shares of Qingdao Leibo Sports Culture Co., Ltd. (“Leibo”) since January 8, 2015, the date of Leibo’s incorporation.

2. Summary of principal accounting policies

 

Basis of presentation and consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries are prepared and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

 

All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been presented on the basis that it is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The fiscal year end is December 31.

 

Liquidity, and Going Concern

 

On June 30, 2019, the Company had a working capital deficit of $4,419,492 (unaudited) and cash on hand of $18,046 (unaudited) as compared to working capital deficit of $4,856,536 and cash on hand of $41,321 as of December 31, 2018.

 

Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $1,454,574 (unaudited) as compared to net cash used in operating activities of $2,746,415 (unaudited) for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease in net cash used in operating activities was primarily due to a decreased net loss.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $1,302,956 (unaudited) as compared to $2,609,598 (unaudited) for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease in net cash provided by financing activities was primarily due to decreased advances from related parties.

 

As of June 30, 2019, our accumulated deficits was $15,735,086 (unaudited). Our operating results for future periods are subject to numerous uncertainties and it is uncertain if we will be able to achieve profitability and continue growth for the foreseeable future. If management is not able to increase revenue and manage operating expenses in line with revenue forecasts, the Company may not be able to achieve profitability.

 

In order to improve the efficiency of our operations, reduce costs and develop core cash-generating business, we may need to seek advances from major shareholders, seek additional public and/or private issuance of securities, as well as look for strategic business partners to optimize our operations.

 

On July 12, July 23 and August 9, 2019, the Company entered into several Subscription Agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) with four third-party investors (the “Investors”), according to which the Investors will pay $1,210,000 in exchange for 806,667 shares of the Company's common stock. As of the date of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, the Investors have received 806,667 shares of the Company’s common stock and the Company has yet to receive any payments. The Company expects to receive the payments in full by December 31, 2019.

 

On September 13, 2019, the CEO of the Company and one third-party investor (“the Investor”) entered into an investment agreement to extend $3 million to the Company for hosting Rebel 10 event (“Rebel 10 event”) in December 2019. Based on the agreement, the funding is comprised of a $1.5 million 1-year convertible loan with interest of 8% per annum. The Investor may convert all of the principal amount of the loan into 1,500,000 shares of Company’s common stock at any time through September 12, 2020. Pursuant to the terms of the Investment Agreement, the Investor paid the Company $1,000,000 on September 23, 2019 and $500,000 on October 19, 2019.

  

The Company believes that available cash and cash equivalents, together with the actions mentioned above, should enable the Company to meet presently anticipated cash needs for at least the next 12 months after the date that the financial statements are issued. However, if the Company is unable to obtain the necessary additional capital on a timely basis and on acceptable terms, it will be unable to implement its current plans for expansion, repay debt obligations or respond to competitive pressures. Any of these factors would have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations and raise substantial doubts about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 have been prepared on a going concern basis and do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classifications of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

The Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”), as of January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective transition method. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under Topic 606, while prior period amounts have not been adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the Company’s historic accounting under Topic 605. Topic 606 prescribes a five-step model for recognizing revenue which includes (i) identifying contracts with customers; (ii) identifying performance obligations; (iii) determining the transaction price; (iv) allocating the transaction price and (v) recognizing revenue.

 

The Company plans to derive revenues principally from the following sources: (i) advertising and sponsorship sales, (ii) live event ticket sales, and (iii) direct-to-consumer sales of merchandise at the live event venues. The below describes the revenue recognition policies in further detail for each major revenue source of the Company.

 

Advertising and sponsorships: through the advertising and sponsorship agreements with customers, the Company offers a full range of the promotional vehicles, including online and print advertising, on-air announcements and special appearances by our fighters. The Company allocates the transaction price to all performance obligations contained within a sponsorship and advertising arrangement based upon their relative standalone selling price. Revenues are recognized as each performance obligation is satisfied, which generally occurs when the sponsorship and advertising is aired, exhibited, performed or played on the applicable media platform.

 

Live event ticket sales: revenues from the live event ticket sales are recognized upon the occurrence of the related live event.

 

Direct-to-consumer venue merchandise sales: direct-to-consumer merchandise sales consist of sales of merchandise at the live events. Revenues are recognized at the point of sale, as control is transferred to the customer.

  

Currently, the Company’s revenues come from the following sources:

2. Summary of principal accounting policies (continued)

 

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of the combined financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the combined financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Our significant estimates and assumption include depreciation, allowance for trade receivables and prepayments, stock-based compensation, and the valuation allowance relating to the Company’s deferred tax assets/liabitlites. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and cash equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents consist of bank deposits with original maturities of three months or less, which are unrestricted as to withdrawal and use the Company maintained accounts at banks and have not experienced any losses from such concentrations.

 

Restricted cash

 

Restricted cash represents deposits not readily available to the Company. Restricted cash as of June 30, 2019 represented cash frozen for a court decision.

 

Allowance for doubtful accounts

 

An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded in the period in which a loss is determined to be probable based on an assessment of specific evidence indicating doubtful collection, historical experience, account balance aging and prevailing economic conditions. Allowance is reversed when the underlying balance of doubtful accounts are subsequently collected. Accounts receivable balances are written off after all collection efforts have been exhausted.

Fair value of financial instruments

 

Fair value information of financial instruments requires disclosure, whether or not recognized in the balance sheets, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instruments. Certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial assets and liabilities are excluded from fair value disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts do not represent the underlying value of the Company.

 

  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 assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.

 

  Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.

 

As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, financial instruments of the Company primarily comprise of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, other receivables, accrued expenses, which the carrying amounts approximated their fair values because of their generally short maturities.

  

Foreign currency translation and transactions

 

The reporting currency of the Company is United States Dollars (“US$”), which is also the Company’s functional currency. The Singapore and PRC subsidiaries maintain their books and records in their respective local currency, the Singapore dollar (“SGD”) and Renminbi (“RMB”), which are functional the primary currencies in Singapore and China.

 

Transactions in foreign currencies other than functional currencies are initially recorded at the functional currency rate ruling at the date of transaction. Any differences between the initially recorded amount and the settlement amount are recorded as a gain or loss on foreign currency transaction in the statements of income. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are translated at the functional currency rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Any differences are taken to profit or loss as a gain or loss on foreign currency translation in the statements of income.

 

The Company translated the assets and liabilities into US dollars using the rate of exchange prevailing at the applicable balance sheet date and the statements of income and cash flows are translated at an average rate during the reporting period.  Adjustments resulting from the translation are recorded in investors’ equity as part of accumulated other comprehensive income.

Income taxes

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the combined financial statements or tax returns. 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.

 

Entities should recognize in the consolidated financial statements the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained upon examination, based on the technical merits of the position. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. The Company has elected to classify interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, if and when required, as part of income tax expense in the statements of operations.

 

Earnings (loss) per share

 

Basic earnings (loss) per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period while the effects of potential common shares outstanding during the period are included in diluted earnings per share.  The average market price during the year is used to compute equivalent shares.

 

Employee equity share options, non-vested shares and similar equity instruments granted to employees are treated as potential common shares in computing diluted earnings per share. Diluted earnings per share should be based on the actual number of options or shares granted and not yet forfeited, unless doing so would be anti-dilutive. The Company uses the “treasury stock” method for equity instruments granted in share-based payment transactions.

 

Plant and equipment

 

Plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Significant additions or improvements extending useful lives of assets are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives as follows:

 

Equipment  3 - 5 years

 

Intangible assets

 

Intangible assets, comprising trade mark and other intangible assets, which are separable from the fixed assets, are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of 10 years.

Impairment of long-lived assets

 

The Company reviews its long-lived assets, including property and equipment and intangible assets with definite lives for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may no longer be recoverable. When these events occur, the Company measures impairment by comparing the carrying values of the long-lived assets to the estimated undiscounted future 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 amounts of the assets, the Company would recognize an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying value over the assessed discounted cash flow amount.

 

Concentrations and risks

 

  - Foreign currency risk

 

A majority of the Company’s expense transactions are denominated in RMB and a significant portion of the Company and its subsidiaries’ assets and liabilities are denominated in RMB. RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currencies. In the PRC, certain foreign exchange transactions are required by law to be transacted only by authorized financial institutions at exchange rates set by the People’s Bank of China (“PBOC”). Remittances in currencies other than RMB by the Company in China must be processed through the PBOC or other China foreign exchange regulatory bodies which require certain supporting documentation in order to affect the remittance.

 

Our functional currency is the RMB and Singapore dollars in subsidiaries in China and Singapore, respectively, and our financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars. The Singapore dollars depreciated slightly by 0.3% in the three months ended March 31, 2019. It is difficult to predict how market forces or PRC or U.S. government policy may impact the exchange rate between the RMB and the U.S. dollar in the future. The change in the value of the RMB relative to the U.S. dollar may affect our financial results reported in the U.S. dollar terms without giving effect to any underlying changes in our business or results of operations. Currently, our assets, liabilities, revenues and costs are denominated in RMB.

 

To the extent that the Company needs to convert U.S. dollars into RMB for capital expenditures and working capital and other business purposes, appreciation of RMB against U.S. dollar would have an adverse effect on the RMB amount the Company would receive from the conversion. Conversely, if the Company decides to convert RMB into U.S. dollar for the purpose of making payments for dividends, strategic acquisition or investments or other business purposes, appreciation of U.S. dollar against RMB would have a negative effect on the U.S. dollar amount available to the Company.

 

  - Significant customers

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2018, one customer accounted for 99% of the Company’s total revenues.

  

Statement of Cash Flows

 

Cash flows from the Company’s operations are formulated based upon the local currencies. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statements of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheets.

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The significant operations of the Company are located in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations may be influenced by political, economic, and legal environments in the PRC, as well as by the general state of the PRC economy. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in the political, regulatory and social conditions in the PRC. Although the Company has not experienced losses from these situations and believes that it is in compliance with existing laws and regulations including its organization and structure disclosed in Note 1, this may not be indicative of future results.

On January 30, 2015, Moxian, Inc. (“MOXC”) issued a convertible promissory note to the Company for $7,782,000 (the “MOXC Note”). The MOXC Note was due and payable on October 30, 2015. Under the MOXC Note, MOXC had the option to convert any and all amounts due under the MOXC Note into shares of common stock of MOXC (the “MOXC Common Stock”) at the conversion price of $1.00 per share (“Conversion Price”), if the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of MOXC Common Stock for 30 trading days immediately prior to the date of conversion was higher than the Conversion Price.

10. Taxation (continued)

 

The 2017 Tax Act also created a new requirement that, for the periods beginning after January 1, 2018, certain income (referred to as global intangible low taxed income or “GILTI”) earned by foreign subsidiaries in excess of a deemed return on tangible assets of foreign corporations must be included in U.S. taxable income.

Under U.S. GAAP, companies are allowed to make an accounting policy election to either (i) account for GILTI as a component of tax expense in the period in which a company is subject to the rules – the period cost method, or (ii) account for GILTI in a company’s measurement of deferred taxes – the deferred method. The Company elected to account for GILTI in the period the tax is incurred. The Company did not generate any GILTI as of June 30, 2019.

The Company has a number of open tax years which include the tax years ended December 31, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 that have not been filed. While it is often difficult to predict the final outcome or the timing of uncertain tax position, the Company believes that the accruals for the income taxes reflect the most likely outcome for the unfiled tax years. The Company had approximately $80,000 and $60,000 of interest and penalties accrued at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

 

Based upon management’s assessment of all available evidence, the Company believes that it is more-likely-than-not that the deferred tax assets, primarily for certain of the subsidiaries net operating loss carry-forwards will not be realizable; and therefore, a full valuation allowance is established for net operating loss carry-forwards. The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets was $5,388,872 and $3,867,226 as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

The styles of martial arts range from Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Judo, Karate, Boxing, Muay Thai, Wrestling, Jeet Kune Do, Taekwondo, Sanshou and various other forms of martial arts. While boxers can strike only with their fists and target only above the belt, MMA fighters can use punches, kicks, elbows, knee strikes, takedowns and submissions to win a contest.

The Investors are expected to remit $1,210,000 in exchange for 806,667 shares of the Company’s common stock as determined pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Subscription Agreement.

We believe that available cash and cash equivalents, together with actions as mentioned above, should enable us to meet anticipated cash needs for at least the next 12 months after the date that the financial statements of this Form 10-Q is issued. However, if we are unable to obtain the necessary additional capital on a timely basis and on acceptable terms, we will be unable to implement our current plans for expansion, repay debt obligations or respond to competitive market pressures. This will have negative influence upon our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations and may raise substantial doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Our significant estimates and assumptions include depreciation, allowance for trade receivables and prepayments, and the fair value of our stock\liabilities, stock-based compensation, debt discount and the valuation allowance relating to the Company’s deferred tax assets/liabilities.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

Reference is made to the “Recent Accounting Pronouncements” in Note 2 to the Financial Statements included in this Report for information related to new accounting pronouncement, none of which had a material impact on our consolidated financial statements, and the future adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements, which we do not expect will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of June 30, 2019, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

 

Pursuant to Item 305(e) of Regulation S-K (§ 229.305(e)), the Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item as it is a “smaller reporting company,” as defined by Rule 229.10(f)(1).

  

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Control and Procedures. 

 

We are required to maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer (also our principal executive officer) and our chief financial officer (also our principal financial and accounting officer) to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) (the Company’s principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) (the Company’s principal financial and accounting officer), has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation the Company’s CEO and CFO concluded that the material weaknesses disclosed in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 continue to exist and accordingly, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The principal basis for this conclusion is the lack of segregation of duties within our financial function and the lack of an operating Audit Committee.

 

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

 

There was no change in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Report, which has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
