Related Party Investment	4. Related Party Investment On September 12, 2017, the Company and Hengfai Business Development Pte Ltd. (“HBD”) entered into a Securities Exchange Agreement whereby the Company agreed to issue and sell to HBD 683,000 shares of its common stock, which had a market value on that date of $484,930, in exchange for 21,196,552 ordinary shares which was 1.92% of the total outstanding common stock of SED as of December 31, 2017, and an existing three-year warrant to purchase up to 105,982,759 of ordinary shares at an exercise price of SGD$0.040 (US$0.0298) per share of Singapore eDevelopment Limited (“SED”), a company incorporated in Singapore and publicly-listed on the Singapore Exchange Limited. The SED shares and warrants were owned by HBD. One of the directors of the Company, Mr. Heng Fai Ambrose Chan, who also serves as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company’s subsidiary, DSS International Inc., is a related party to each of HBD and SED. The shares and warrants are restricted for two years after the agreement date. At the time of the investment, the cost of the investment was determined to be the fair value of the Company’s common stock issued in the transaction, which was determined to have the most readily determinable fair value. As of December 31, 2017, the Company performed its annual assessment of impairment for the SED shares and warrant. In making this assessment, the Company determined, that the SED shares, which trade on the Singapore Stock Exchange, had a market value of $900,112 and the warrant had an aggregate intrinsic value of approximately $1,343,000 based on a share price of SGD $0.057 (US$ 0.042) as of December 31, 2017. However, the Company determined that these values did not represent a readily determinable fair value due to a potential lack of liquidity of the SED shares and warrants due to a low average trading volume of the SED shares and the effect of the time restriction on the ability of the Company to sell the shares until September 17, 2019. In 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-01, “Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” In accordance with ASU No. 2016-01, the Company noted that the SED share price had changed but such change, evaluated under the practicability election of ASU 2016-01, did not affect the Company’s determination that this observable price change would cause the Company to change its determination that the investment cost was the most readily determinable fair value or that such price change was an indicator of impairment. As of September 30, 2018, the SED shares had a market value of $724,330 and the warrant had an aggregate intrinsic value of approximately $539,420 based on a share price of SGD $0.047 (US$ 0.034).
