Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

3 Months Ended

Mar. 31, 2019

Basis of Accounting, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Basis of presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are prepared and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information as of

March 31, 2019

and for the

three

months ended

March 31, 2019

and

2018

have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures, which are normally included in complete consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, have been omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form

-K for the fiscal year ended

December 31, 2018,

previously filed with the SEC (the

“2018

Form

-K”) on

April 15, 2019.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present a fair statement of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position as of

March 31, 2019,

its condensed consolidated results of operations for the

three

months ended

March 31, 2019

and

2018,

and its condensed consolidated cash flows for the

three

months ended

March 31, 2019

and

2018,

as applicable, have been made. The interim results of operations are

not

necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future periods.

Going Concern [Policy Text Block]

b)	Going concern

The Company incurred operating losses and had negative operating cash flows and

may

continue to incur operating losses and generate negative cash flows as the Company implements its future business plan. The Company’s net loss attributable to stockholders for the

three

months ended

March 31, 2019

was approximately

US$1.14

million, compared with approximately

US$0.57

million for the

three

months ended

March 31, 2018.

As of

March 31, 2019,

the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately

US$1.48

million and net cash used in operating activities during the

three

months ended

March 31, 2019

was approximately

US$2.27

million.

The Company does

not

currently have sufficient cash or commitments for financing to sustain its operation for the

twelve

months from the issuance date of these financial statements. The Company plans to optimize its internet resources cost investment strategy to improve the gross profit margin of its core business and to further strengthen the accounts receivables collection management and negotiate with vendors for more favorable payment terms, all of which will help to substantially increase the cashflows from operations. If the Company fails to achieve these goals, the Company

may

need additional financing to execute its business plan. If additional financing is required, the Company cannot predict whether this additional financing will be in the form of equity, debt, or another form, and the Company

may

not

be able to obtain the necessary additional capital on a timely basis, on acceptable terms, or at all. In the event that financing sources are

not

available, or that the Company is unsuccessful in increasing its gross profit margin and reducing operating losses, the Company

may

be unable to implement its current plans for expansion, repay debt obligations or respond to competitive pressures, any of which would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern within

one

year after the date that the financial statements are issued.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of

March 31, 2019

have been prepared under the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business over a reasonable period of time. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its uncertain ability to increase gross profit margin and reduce operating loss from its core business and/or obtain additional equity and/or debt financing. The accompanying financial statements as of

March 31, 2019

not

include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties. If the Company is unable to continue as a going concern, it

may

have to liquidate its assets and

may

receive less than the value at which those assets are carried on the financial statements.

Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Principles of consolidation

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of all the subsidiaries and VIEs of the Company. All transactions and balances between the Company and its subsidiaries and VIEs have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of these consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The Company continually evaluates these estimates and assumptions based on the most recently available information, historical experience and various other assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Since the use of estimates is an integral component of the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Foreign Currency Transactions and Translations Policy [Policy Text Block]

Foreign currency translation

The exchange rates used to translate amounts in RMB into US$ for the purposes of preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements are as follows:

			March 31, 2019				December 31, 2018
Balance sheet items, except for equity accounts			6.7335				6.8632

	Three Months Ended March 31,
		2019	2018
Items in the statements of operations and comprehensive loss, and statements of cash flows		6.7468	6.3632

March 31, 2019

The Company has elected to apply the practical expedient in paragraph ASC Topic

606

and did

not

disclose the information related to transaction price allocated to the performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied as of

March 31, 2019,

because all performance obligations of the Company’s contracts with customers have an original expected duration of

one

year or less.

Lessee, Leases [Policy Text Block]

Lease

January 1, 2019,

the Company adopted ASC Topic

842,

“Lease”, applying the optional transition method in accordance with ASU

No.

2018

11,

which permitted the Company to change its date of initial application to the beginning of the period of adoption of ASC Topic

842

(i.e.

January 1, 2019)

and recognize the effects of applying ASC Topic

842

as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of

January 1, 2019,

and remain applying ASC Topic

840

in the comparative periods. The adoption of ASC Topic

842

didn’t result in a material adjustment to the Company’s accumulated deficit as of

January 1, 2019.

The Company leases

two

offices in the PRC from unrelated

third

parties during its normal course of business, of which

one

office is used as the Company’s principle executive office in Beijing, the other is used as the Company’s office in Hubei. Other than these, the Company does

not

have any other contract that is or contains a lease under ASC Topic

842.

The Company’s lease contracts do

not

contain any option for the Company to extend or terminate the lease, and do

not

contain the option for the Company to purchase the underlying assets. Based on the noncancelable lease period in the contract, the Company considers contract-based, asset-based, market-based and entity-based factors to determine the term over which it is reasonably certain to extend the lease, and then determine the lease term of each contract, which is

years.

The Company’s lease contracts only contain fixed lease payments and do

not

contain any residual value guarantee. The lease payments of the Company’s Beijing office are required to be paid on a quarterly basis, and the lease payments of its Hubei office are required to be paid on an annual basis.

The Company’s office lease contracts do

not

contain any nonlease component and are classified as operating leases in accordance with ASC Topic

842

As the implicit rates of the Company leases cannot be readily determined, in accordance with ASC Topic

842

the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate to determine the present value of the lease payments for each lease contract. The discount rate used by the Company is

6%,

which is determined based on the interest rate commonly used by the commercial banks in the PRC for the

years long-term loan lent to business entities on a collateralized basis.

As of

March 31, 2019,

operating lease right-of-use assets recognized by the Company was approximately

US$20,000,

operating lease liabilities recognized was approximately

US$10,000,

which was included in the Company’s other current liabilities.

For the

three

months ended

March 31, 2019,

total operating lease cost recognized under ASC Topic

842

was approximately

US$0.09

million. For the

three

months ended

March 31, 2018,

operating lease cost recognized under ASC Topic

840

was approximately

US$0.10

million.

New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Impact of recently issued accounting pronouncements

June 2016,

the FASB issued ASU

No.

2016

13,

“Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic

326

): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”. The amendments in this ASU require the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost. The amendments in this ASU replace the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected loss methodology, which will result in more timely recognition of credit losses. In

November 2018,

the FASB issued ASU

No.

2018

19,

“Codification Improvements to Topic

326,

Financial Instruments-Credit Losses”, which among other things, clarifies that receivables arising from operating leases are

not

within the scope of Subtopic

326

20.

Instead, impairment of receivables arising from operating leases should be accounted for in accordance with Topic

842,

Leases. For public entities, the amendments in these ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after

December 15, 2019,

including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial position and results of operations upon adopting these amendments.

August

2018,

the FASB issued ASU

No.

2018

13,

“Fair Value Measurement (Topic

820

): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement”. The amendments in this ASU eliminate, add and modify certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The amendments in this ASU, among other things, require public companies to disclose the range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable inputs for Level

fair value measurements. The amendments in this ASU are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after

December 15, 2019,

and entities are permitted to early adopt either the entire standard or only the provisions that eliminate or modify the requirements. The Company does

not

expect the adoption of these amendments to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.
