KB GLOBAL HOLDINGS LIMITED
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2023
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
KB Global Holdings Limited (the “Company”) was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on 17 November 2017 with the authorized capital of 5 million ordinary shares, par value of $0.00001 per share.
On November 20, 2017, Kesheng Global (HK) Limited, or Kesheng HK, was incorporated in Hong Kong as a wholly-owned subsidiary of KB Global Holdings Limited.
On January 18, 2018, Suzhou Keju Enterprise Management Consulting Limited, or Suzhou Keju, our Wholly Foreign-Owned Enterprise (the “WFOE”), was incorporated in Suzhou, PRC, with registered capital of $10 million, as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kesheng HK.
Beijing Kezhao Technology Co., Ltd. (the “BJKZ”) was incorporated in PRC on August 13, 2018. BJKZ is an information technology company which engaged in information technology development and consulting services.
On November 30, 2018, WFOE entered into an exclusive business cooperation agreement with the shareholders of BJKZ, through which WFOE has gained full control over the management and the right to receive the economic benefits of the operations of BJKZ.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and reflect the activities of the following subsidiaries and variable interest entity (“VIE”): Kesheng HK, Suzhou Keju, and BJKZ. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in the consolidation.
In accordance with U.S. GAAP, VIE are generally entities that lack sufficient equity to finance their activities without additional financial support from other parties or whose equity holders lack adequate decision-making ability. All VIEs with which the Company is involved must be evaluated to determine the primary beneficiary of the risks and rewards of the VIE. The primary beneficiary is required to consolidate the VIEs for financial reporting purposes.
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810-10 “Consolidation” addresses whether certain types of entities should be referred to as VIEs, and should be consolidated in a company’s consolidated financial statements. Pursuant to the exclusive business cooperation agreement, WFOE has the exclusive right to provide to BJKZ technical development, technical support, management consultation and other related services on an exclusive basis. In accordance with the provisions of ASC 810, the Company has determined that BJKZ is a VIE of the WFOE and that the Company is the primary beneficiary, and accordingly, the financial statements of BJKZ are consolidated into the results of the Company.
F-5
The following assets and liabilities of the VIE are included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

| Non-current assets | $ | $ | ||||||
| Current assets | ||||||||
| Total assets | $ | $ | ||||||
| Current liabilities | $ | $ | ||||||
| Total liabilities | $ | $ | ||||||
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles of 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 assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management makes its best estimate of the ultimate outcome for these items based on historical trends and other information available when the financial statements are prepared. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
The Company’s financial statements are presented in the U.S. dollar ($), which is the Company’s reporting currency. The Company uses the Renminbi (“RMB”) as its functional currencies. Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded at the functional currency rate 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 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.
In accordance with ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters, the Company translated the assets and liabilities into U.S. 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 shareholders’ equity as part of accumulated other comprehensive income.
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures, defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. This topic also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires classification based on observable and unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Certain current assets and current liabilities are financial instruments. Management believes their carrying amounts are a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and, if applicable, their current interest rates are equivalent to interest rates currently available. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:
F-6
| ● | 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 measurement. |
The carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities, such as the balance with related parties, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments or the rate of interest of these instruments approximate the market rate of interest.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents represent cash on hand, demand deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments placed with banks, which have original maturities of three months or less and are readily convertible to known amounts of cash.
INVENTORIES
Inventories are carried at the lower of cost and net realizable value, as determined using the weighted average cost method. Management compares the cost of inventories with the net realizable value and if applicable, an allowance is made for writing down the inventory to its net realizable value, if lower than cost. On an ongoing basis, inventories are reviewed for potential write-down for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventories which equals the difference between the costs of inventories and the estimated net realizable value based upon forecasts for future demand and market conditions. When inventories are written-down to the lower of cost or net realizable value, it is not marked up subsequently based on changes in underlying facts and circumstances.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company recognizes revenue when: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management’s judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectability of those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related revenue is recorded.
INCOME TAXES
The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). Under this method, income tax expense is recognized as the amount of: (i) taxes payable or refundable for the current year and (ii) future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if based on the weight of available evidence it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
F-7
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, “Business Combinations (Topic 805) – Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers”, which requires that an acquirer recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606, as if it had originated the contracts. Prior to this ASU, an acquirer generally recognized contract assets acquired and contract liabilities assumed that arose from contracts with customers at fair value on the acquisition date. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The ASU is applied prospectively to business combinations occurring on or after the effective date of the amendment (or if adopted early as of an interim period, as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes the interim period of early application). The Company has adopted this accounting pronouncement from January 1, 2023, and there was no material impact on its consolidated financial statements from the adoption.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which expands reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The amendments in the ASU require that a public entity discloses, on an annual and interim basis, significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to an entity’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), a description of other segment items by reportable segment, and any additional measures of a segment’s profit or loss used by the CODM when deciding how to allocate resources. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Retrospective application is required for all prior periods presented, and early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU No. 2023-07 to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes: Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This guidance requires consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and disclosures of income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted, and should be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

The Company has not recognized an income tax benefit for its operating losses generated based on uncertainties concerning its ability to generate taxable income in future periods. The tax benefit for the periods presented is offset by a valuation allowance established against deferred tax assets arising from the net operating losses and other temporary differences, the realization of which could not be considered more likely than not. In future periods, tax benefits and related deferred tax assets will be recognized when management considers realization of such amounts to be more likely than not. A valuation allowance will be maintained until sufficient positive evidence exists to support the reversal of any portion or all of the valuation allowance

Revenue
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company’s revenue was $176,564. This was paid by a single customer, Beijing Cabelongteng Investment Center, for whom the Company developed an enterprise software package.
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses consisted primarily of fees paid to employees and an audit fee.
Net profit
Due to the above reasons, we realized a net profit of $30,253 during the three months ended March 31, 2024. In the first quarter of 2023, we incurred a net loss of $23,843 as we had no revenue.
Taxation
Our company, our subsidiaries, and our consolidated VIE file tax returns separately.
2
| 1) | Value added tax (“VAT”) |
Pursuant to the Provisional Regulation of the PRC on VAT and the related implementing rules, all entities and individuals (“taxpayers”) that are engaged in the modern service industry in the PRC are generally required to pay VAT at a rate of 6% of the gross sales proceeds received, less any deductible VAT already paid or borne by the taxpayers. Our PRC subsidiary and our consolidated VIE are subject to VAT at 6% of their revenues.
| 2) | Income tax |
Cayman Islands
The Cayman Islands currently levies no taxes on the Company based upon profits, income, gains or appreciation. In addition, payments of dividends that we make to our shareholders are not subject to withholding tax in the Cayman Islands.
Hong Kong
Kesheng HK, which was incorporated in Hong Kong, is subject to a corporate income tax rate of 16.5%.
PRC
Our subsidiary and the consolidated VIE established in the PRC are subject to the PRC statutory income tax rate of 25%, according to the PRC Enterprise Income Tax (“EIT”) law.
The current PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law imposes a 10% withholding income tax for dividends distributed by foreign invested enterprises to their immediate holding companies outside the PRC. A lower withholding tax rate will be applied if there is a tax treaty arrangement between the PRC and the jurisdiction of the foreign holding company. Distributions to holding companies in Hong Kong that satisfy certain requirements specified by PRC tax authorities, for example, will be subject to a 5% withholding tax rate.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
To improve our internal control over financial reporting, we have already taken some steps to remediate the material weakness identified. We plan to hire additional qualified financial and accounting staff with working experience of U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting requirements. We have also established clear roles and responsibilities for accounting and financial reporting staff to address complex accounting and financial reporting issues. Furthermore, we will continue to further expedite and streamline our reporting process and develop our compliance process, including establishing a comprehensive policy and procedure manual, to allow early detection, prevention and resolution of potential compliance issues, and establishing an ongoing program to provide sufficient and appropriate training for financial reporting and accounting personnel, especially training related to U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting requirements. We intend to conduct regular and continuous U.S. GAAP accounting and financial reporting programs and send our financial staff to attend external U.S. GAAP training courses.
3
We also intend to hire additional resources to strengthen the financial reporting function and set up a financial and system control framework. We expect that we will incur significant costs in the implementation of such measures. However, the implementation of these measures may not fully address the deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting. We are not able to estimate with reasonable certainty the costs that we will need to incur to implement these and other measures designed to improve our internal control over financial reporting. The process of designing and implementing an effective financial reporting system is a continuous effort that requires us to anticipate and react to changes in our business and economic and regulatory environments and to expend significant resources to maintain a financial reporting system that is adequate to satisfy our reporting obligations.
We qualify as an “emerging growth company” pursuant to the JOBS Act. An emerging growth company may take advantage of specified reduced reporting and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. These provisions include exemption from the auditor attestation requirement under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 in the assessment of the emerging growth company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Changes in Internal Controls
There were no changes in internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended March 31, 2024, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Not applicable.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires our management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and reported amounts of fees, expenses and investment income. Our management bases these estimates and judgments on available information, historical experience and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. However, these estimates, judgments and assumptions are often subjective and may be impacted negatively based on changing circumstances or changes in our analyses. If actual amounts are ultimately different from those estimated, judged or assumed, revisions are included in the consolidated financial statements in the period in which the actual amounts become known. We believe our critical accounting policies could potentially produce materially different results if we were to change underlying estimates, judgments or assumptions.
In connection with the preparation of our financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2024, there were no accounting estimate we made that were subject to a high degree of uncertainty and were critical to our results.
