Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, our management evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2024.

Based on this evaluation, our president (our principal executive officer, principal accounting officer and principal financial officer) has concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information that is required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our president (our principal executive officer and our principal accounting officer and principal financial officer), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our president (our principal executive officer and our principal accounting officer and principal financial officer), to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of our company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures of our company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of our company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not provide absolute assurance that a misstatement of our financial statements would be prevented or detected.

 

Further, the evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting was made as of a specific date, and continued effectiveness in future periods is subject to the risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report from our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. The management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only the management’s report in this annual report.

Board Committees

 

On December 20, 2024, our Board designated the following three committees of the Board: the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee, and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Company’s designated committees currently do not have any members and the Board acts in place of such committees.

 

Audit Committee. The Audit Committee is responsible for, among other things, overseeing the financial reporting and audit process and evaluating our internal controls over financial reporting. The Audit Committee currently does not have any members nor does it have an audit committee financial expert and the Board acts in place of such committee. Our Board has determined that given its relatively small size, the function of the Audit Committee could be performed by our Board as a whole without unduly burdening the duties and responsibilities of our Board member.

 

Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee is responsible for, among other things, establishing and overseeing the Company’s executive and equity compensation programs, establishing performance goals and objectives, and evaluating performance against such goals and objectives. The Compensation Committee currently does not have any members and the Board acts in place of such committee. Our Board has determined that given its relatively small size, the function of the Compensation Committee could be performed by our Board as a whole without unduly burdening the duties and responsibilities of our Board member.

Risk Oversight

 

The Board is primarily responsible for overseeing our risk management processes. The Board receives and reviews periodic reports from management, auditors, legal counsel and others, as appropriate, regarding the Company’s assessment of risks. The Board focuses on the most significant risks facing the Company and our general risk management strategy, and also ensures that the risks we undertake are consistent with the Board’s risk parameters. While the Board oversees the risk management process, our management is responsible for day-to-day risk management and, if management identifies new or additional significant risks, it brings such risks to the attention of the Board.

 

Board Leadership Structure

 

Fuli Diao is the President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. The Chairman of the Board presides at all meetings of the Board, unless such position is vacant, in which case, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company would preside.

 

The Company has no fixed policy with respect to the separation of the offices of the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. Given the Company’s small size and management team, the Company believes that it is appropriate to not separate the offices of the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. The Board will review this determination from time to time.

 

Policy on Hedging the Economic Risks of Equity Ownership.

 

The Company has no policy regarding hedging the economic risks of equity ownership for the executive team or directors of the Company and the Company does not engage in this practice.

 

Changes to security holder director nomination procedures

 

The Company has not adopted procedures for considering director candidates submitted by stockholders under Item 407(c)(2)(iv), Regulation S-K.

 

Code of Ethics

 

We do not currently have a Code of Ethics applicable to our principal executive officers; however, the Company plans to implement such a code in the near future.

 

Potential Conflicts of Interest

 

Since we do not have a compensation committee comprised of independent Directors, the functions that would have been performed by such committee are performed by our Board of Directors. Thus, there is a potential conflict of interest in that our directors have the authority to determine issues concerning management compensation, in essence their own. There is also a potential conflict in that Mr. Fuli, Diao is officer and director of Kioni Holdings Limited, who owns approximately 52% of outstanding shares of the Company.

 

We are not aware of any other conflicts of interest with any of our Executives or Directors.

 

Board’s Role in Risk Oversight

 

The Board assesses on an ongoing basis the risks faced by the Company. These risks include financial, technological, competitive, and operational risks. The Board’s Audit Committee is responsible for the assessment and oversight of the Company’s financial risk exposures.

 

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

 

We are not aware of any material legal proceedings that have occurred within the past ten years concerning any Director or control person which involved a criminal conviction, a pending criminal proceeding, a pending or concluded administrative or civil proceeding limiting one’s participation in the securities or banking industries, or a finding of securities or commodities law violations.

 

Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports

 

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our Company’s officers, directors and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of our Company’s equity securities to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC, and to furnish to our Company copies of such reports.

 

Based solely on the review of Forms 3 and 4 received by our Company during the December 31, 2024 fiscal year, as required under Section 16(a)(2) of the Exchange Act, we noted there were no delinquent Form 3 or 4 filings in respect of the major shareholder disclosure.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 The Board of Directors and Stockholders of

KIONI HOLDINGS, LIMITED.

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Standard Kioni Holdings Limited. (the ‘Company’) as of December 31, 2024, and 2023, and the related statements of operations and changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the two years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024, and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2, the Company suffered an accumulated deficit of $(108,991), net loss of $(96,041). These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans with regards to these matters are also described in Note 2 to the financial statements. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Basis for Opinion

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

 

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

 

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

 

Critical Audit Matters

Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. Communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

KIONI HOLDINGS LIMITED

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

 

Kioni Holdings Limited (the “Company”) is a corporation established under the corporation laws in the State of Delaware on November 28, 2023. The Company is engaged in the business of providing back-office support to companies. Kioni offers progressive and complete solutions for our customer's back office and administration needs. These services include accounting and bookkeeping, human resources, digital marketing and sales, IT support and general business consulting.

 

The Company has adopted December 31 fiscal year end.

 

The Company and its wholly owned subsidiary-Gold Times Holdings Limited, which was acquired on June 19, 2024, are referred to as the “Group”.

 

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

 

The Group’s consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2024 been prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Group has not yet established a consistent ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. The Group had accumulated loss of $108,991 for the year ended December 31, 2024. These factors among others raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern. 

 

In order to continue as a going concern, the Group will need, among other things, additional capital resources. The Company has raised $100,000 by selling its shares through a registration statement, which became effective on April 23 2024. Management’s plan is to seek additional debt financing. However, management cannot provide any assurances that the Group will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans to raise the addition debt financing required for its operations. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Group be unable to continue as a going concern.

  

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. Group’ functional and operational currency is US Dollar.

 

Principles of Consolidation And Equity Accounting

Subsidiaries

 

Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity where the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the group (see note Business Combinations).

 

Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the transferred asset. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

Equity method

 

Under the equity method of accounting, the investments are initially recognised at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognise the Group’s share of the post-acquisition profits or losses of the investee in profit or loss, and the Group’s share of movements in other comprehensive income of the investee in other comprehensive income. Dividends received or receivable from associates and joint ventures are recognised as a reduction in the carrying amount of the investment.

Where the Group’s share of losses in an equity-accounted investment equals or exceeds its interest in the entity, including any other unsecured long-term receivables, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the other entity.

Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its associates and joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in these entities. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of equity-accounted investees have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

Business Combinations

 

Goodwill is stated after separate recognition of identifiable intangible assets. It is calculated as the excess of the sum of: (a) fair value of consideration transferred, (b) the recognized amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree, and (c) acquisition-date fair value of any existing equity interest in the acquiree, over the acquisition-date fair values of identifiable net assets. 

Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer is recognized at acquisition-date fair value. Subsequent adjustments to consideration are recognized against goodwill only to the extent that they arise from new information obtained within the measurement period (a maximum of 12 months from the acquisition date) about the fair value at the acquisition date. All other subsequent adjustments to contingent consideration classified as an asset or a liability are recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss.

 

 
13 | P a g e
 
 
 

 

Table of Contents

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

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

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

As of December 31, 2024, the Group has not issued any stock-based payments to its employees.

 

Stock-based compensation is accounted for at fair value in accordance with ASC 718, when applicable.  To date, the Group has not adopted a stock option plan and has not granted any stock options.

 

Use of Estimates

 

Preparing consolidated 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, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Group follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes.  Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying values and their respective income tax basis (temporary differences).  The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

The Group utilizes the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Accounting Standards Codification Topic 740 related to Income Taxes to account for the uncertainty in income taxes. Topic 740 for Income Taxes clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by prescribing rules for recognition, measurement and classification in consolidated financial statements of tax positions taken or expected to be in a tax return. Further, it prescribes a two-step process for the financial statement measurement and recognition of a tax position. The first step involves the determination of whether it is more likely than not (greater than 50 percent likelihood) that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, based on the technical merits of the position. The second step requires that any tax position that meets the more likely than not recognition threshold be measured and recognized in the consolidated financial statements at the largest amount of benefit that is a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. This topic also provides guidance on the accounting for related interest and penalties, financial statement classification and disclosure. The Group's policy is that any interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions are recognized in income tax expense when incurred. The Group has no uncertain tax positions or related interest or penalties requiring accrual at December 31, 2024.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

There were various accounting standards and interpretations issued recently, none of which are expected to a have a material impact on our financial position, operations or cash flows.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

ASC 825, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”, requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments. ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements” defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of December 31, 2024.

 

The respective carrying values of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximate their fair values. These financial instruments include cash and related party loan payable. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for these financial instruments since they are short term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair value.

 Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share

 

The Group computes earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260-10-45 “Earnings per Share”, which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share on the face of the statement of operations. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive earnings (loss) per share excludes all potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. The Group has no potential dilutive instruments, and therefore, basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share are equal.

 

NOTE 4 – CAPITAL STOCK

 

The Group has 1,000,000 shares of common stock authorized with a par value of $0.0001 per share.

 

As of December 31, 2024, the Group had 1,000,000 shares issued and outstanding.

 

NOTE 5 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

In support of the Group’s efforts and cash requirements, it may rely on advances from related parties until such time that the Group can support its operations or attains adequate financing through sales of its equity or traditional debt financing. There is no formal written commitment for continued support by officers, directors, or shareholders. Amounts represent advances or amounts paid in satisfaction of liabilities. The advances are considered temporary in nature and have not been formalized by a promissory note. 

 

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the director of the Group subscribed for 50,000 shares in the Group for $10,000 in January 2024. From November 28,2023 (inception) through December 31, 2023 the director subscribed for a total of 10,000 shares in the Group for $2,000.

 

NOTE 6. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

The Group has evaluated and determined that there are no subsequent events from December 31, 2024 to the date the consolidated financial statements were issued.
