2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchanges Commission ("SEC") and in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. ("US GAAP"). All material inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation. The Company has adopted December 31 as its fiscal year end.
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of estimates
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made; however actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost and represent cash on hand, demand deposits placed with banks or other financial institutions and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less as of the purchase date of such investments. Under the PRC Foreign Exchange Control Regulations and Administration of Settlement, Sales and Payment of Foreign Exchange Regulations, the Company is permitted to exchange Chinese Renminbi for foreign currencies through banks that are authorized to conduct foreign exchange business.
Prepayment, Deposits and Other Receivables
Prepayments and deposits are mainly cash deposited or advance payments made to third parties for future purchases or future services such as rent or other general expenses. This amount is refundable and bears no interest. The Company will recognize an allowance account for doubtful accounts to the extent it is probable that a portion or all of a particular account will not be collected. Management reviews its prepayments and deposits on a regular basis to determine if the allowance is adequate and adjusts the allowance when necessary. The Company's management continues to evaluate the reasonableness of the allowance policy and update it if necessary. Noallowance for doubtful accounts was made for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.
Lease
The Company adopted the ASU No. 2016-02, on October 15, 2019 (date of inception). The Company leases office space for fixed periods with pre-emptive extension options. The Company recognizes lease payments for its short-term lease on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The lease liability is initially and subsequently measured at the present value of the unpaid lease payments at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for lease payments made at or before the lease commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred less any lease incentives received. Costs associated with operating lease assets are recognized on a straight-line basis within operating expenses over the term of the lease.
In determining the present value of the unpaid lease payments, ASC 842 requires a lessee to discount its unpaid lease payments using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, its incremental borrowing rate. As most of the Company leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for the lease. The Company adopted 4.75% as its incremental borrowing rate which is estimated to approximate the interest rate on a collateralized basis with similar terms and payments.
On March 5, 2024 the management entered into a tenancy agreement to rent an office for a monthly rental of CNY9,000(approximate $1,258) for a period of two years. On May 31, 2024, the management of the Company terminated the tenancy agreement of the office. From June 21, 2024, the management of the Company uses part of the leased office space of Chongqing Jiushengguang Enterprise Management Consulting Co., LTD. free of charge. Please refer to Note 10 for the details of the lease.

Revenue Recognition
The Company generates two streams of revenue.
The first stream of revenue is generated through sale of goods, primarily Bio-Carbon-Based-Fertilizer ("BCBF"). Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services and is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, the standard requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The amount of revenue that is recorded reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods and services. The Company applies the following five-step model in order to determine this amount:
(i) identification of the promised goods and services in the contract;
(ii) determination of whether the promised goods and services are performance obligations, including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract;
(iii) measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration;
(iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and
(v) recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation.
The Company adopted ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). Under Topic 606, the Company records revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectability is probable. The Company records revenue from the sale of product upon shipment or delivery of the products to the customer.
While another revenue stream is our online retailing business. In online retailing business we have differentiate into two distinct revenue streams: sales revenue with inventory risk and sales revenue without inventory risk. Initially, the Company act as an agent in transactions, meaning we place orders with suppliers upon receiving orders from customers. The suppliers will then directly send the goods to the customer based on our order info. A reporting entity assumes the role of agent in a transaction and arranges for the other party to provide the specified goods or service. Consequently, product sales revenue is recorded net of cost of sales, as we act as an agent and do not bear inventory risk.
During the last quarter of 2023, we transitioned to purchasing stock from several suppliers and outsource the inventory warehouse to few suppliers and we are liable for the inventory risk hence we are principal in this extent. Similar to previous operations, contracts are formed when customers place orders in the app, and the performance obligation remains unchanged. Revenue recognition continues to be based on the point in time when customers assume control and legal ownership of the purchased products, without deducting any associated costs, as this reflects the normal transactional relationship between seller and buyer. We recognize revenue when customers take control and legal ownership of the purchased products.
Besides, adopting ASC 606-10-55-42, we give an option to customers, which they will be received of cash back from their purchased amount in the online platform. Hence, cash back is a material right, so we will net off the cash back portion with the revenue instead of recognize the whole purchased amount as revenue.
F-7 |
Deferred revenue
The Company's accounting policy related to deferred revenue is to recognize revenue for performance obligations that have not yet been fulfilled. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company recognized amounts of $165 and $14,782, respectively. The deferred revenue is expected to be recognized as revenue within 12 months from the reporting period, as all unsatisfied performance obligations are expected to be completed within that timeframe.
Shipping, Storage and Handling costs
Costs for shipping, storage and handling activities, including those activities that occur subsequent to transfer of control to the customer, are recorded as selling and distribution expense and are expensed as incurred. The Company accrues costs for shipping, storage and handling activities that occur after control of the promised good has transferred to the customer.
Advertising costs
The Company's accounting policy related to advertising costs for annual reporting purposes is to expense costs incurred in marketing events for example event venue fees, emcee fees and others, as of the first date the advertisements take place. All marketing expenditures are expensed in the annual period in which the expenditure is incurred. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not incurred expenses for advertising costs.
Earnings Per Share
The Company reports earnings per share in accordance with ASC 260 "Earnings Per Share", which requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share in conjunction with the disclosure of the methodology used in computing such earnings per share. Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share takes into account the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised and converted into common stock. Further, if the number of common shares outstanding increases as a result of a stock dividend or stock split or decreases as a result of a reverse stock split, the computations of a basic and diluted earnings per share shall be adjusted retroactively for all periods presented to reflect that change in capital structure.
The Company's basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income available to holders by the weighted average number of the Company's ordinary shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share reflects the amount of net income available to each ordinary share outstanding during the period plus the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding if potentially dilutive securities had been issued.
Inventories
Inventories consist of finished goods and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the first-in first-out method. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. The Company reviews its inventories regularly for possible obsolete goods and establishes reserves when determined necessary.
During the last quarter of 2023, we transitioned to purchasing stock from several suppliers and outsource the inventory warehouse to few suppliers and we are liable for the inventory risk hence we are principal in this extent. Our inventory is stored and managed at the facilities of third-party logistics providers. These arrangements involve contractual agreements outlining the terms of storage, handling, and distribution of our inventory. Besides, the third-party logistics providers are responsible for maintaining the quality and condition of the inventory in accordance with our specifications.
Each third-party logistics provider uses its own inventory management system to track the movement and availability of our products. They will send us a copy of the movement and balance of inventory at the end of the month, which we then compare with the inventory movement worksheet maintained by our company. This allows us to identify any inventory discrepancies promptly. The third-party logistics providers facilitate the distribution of our inventory to our customers and fulfillment centers as per our instructions. Additionally, the logistics providers are responsible for our inventory in any aspect of damaged goods due to their responsibility, for example, stolen inventory, damaged goods due to warehouse conditions, and other factors.

Related parties
Parties, which can be a corporation or individual, are considered to be related if the Company has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Companies are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method prescribed by ASC 740 "Income Taxes". Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to offset deferred tax assets 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. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized as income or loss in the period that includes the enactment date.
Foreign Currency Translation
Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the statements of operations.
The reporting currency of the Company is United States Dollars ("US$"). The Company's subsidiary in Seychelles, Hong Kong and PRC have functional currencies in United States Dollars ("US$"), Hong Kong Dollars ("HK$") and Chinese Renminbi ("CNY¥") respectively.
In general, for consolidation purposes, assets and liabilities of its subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the US$ are translated into US$, in accordance with ASC Topic 830-30, "Translation of Financial Statement", using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the period. The gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the statement of stockholders' equity.
The shareholders' equity accounts were stated at their historical rate. Cash flows are also translated at average translation rates for the periods, therefore, amounts reported on the statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the consolidated balance sheets.
Translation of amounts from the local currencies of the Company into US$ has been made at the following exchange rates for the respective periods:

Fair Value Measurement
Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 820 "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures", which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The statement clarifies that the exchange price is the price in an orderly transaction between market participants to sell the asset or transfer the liability in the market in which the reporting entity would transact for the asset or liability, that is, the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability. It also emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement, and that market participant assumptions include assumptions about risk and effect of a restriction on the sale or use of an asset.
This ASC establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and
Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Improvement to Reportable Segment Disclosures (Topic 280). ASU 2023-07 aims to improve segment disclosures through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The standard requires all public entities, including those public entities that have a single reportable segment, shall disclose all of the following for each period for which an income statement is presented. However, reconciliations of balance sheet amounts for reportable segments to consolidated balance sheet amounts are required only for each year for which a balance sheet is presented. The amendments will be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the additional disclosure requirements on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.
The Company reviews new accounting standards as issued. Management has not identified any other new standards that it believes will have a significant impact on the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Economic and political risks
Substantially all the Company's services are conducted in the People's Republic of China ("PRC"), of which operations in the PRC are subject to special considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in rest of the world. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environment and foreign currency exchange. The Company's results may be adversely affected by changes in the political conditions in the PRC, and by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion, remittances abroad, and rates and methods of taxation.

4. GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTIES
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company is currently in a net liability position and incurred a net cash used in operating activities of $75,911 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, resulting in accumulated deficit of $334,376 and a working capital deficit of $169,899.
The Company's cash position may not be significant enough to support the Company's daily operations. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to improve profitability and the ability to acquire funding through public offering. If funding from public offering is insufficient, then the Company shall rely on the financial support from its controlling shareholder.
These and other factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that financial statements are issued. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result in the Company not being able to continue as a going concern.

Management believes that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be fully realizable in the future. Despite the Company starting to turn a net profit for the year according to reporting figures, economic uncertainties dictate that the Company will only adjust its valuation allowance policy if it can sustain net profits over consecutive reporting periods. Therefore, the Company has provided for a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets of $93,236 as of September 30, 2024.
13. SEGMENT REPORTING
ASC 280, "Segment Reporting" establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments on a basis consistent with the Company's internal organization structure as well as information about services categories, business segments and major customers in financial statements. The Company has three reportable segments based on business unit, bio-carbon-based fertilizer ("BCBF") trading business, online retailing business and beauty products trading business and two reportable segments based on country, United States and China.
In accordance with the "Segment Reporting" Topic of the ASC, the Company's chief operating decision maker has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer and President, who reviews operating results to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance for the entire Company. Existing guidance, which is based on a management approach to segment reporting, establishes requirements to report selected segment information quarterly and to report annually entity-wide disclosures about products and services, major customers, and the countries in which the entity holds material assets and reports revenue.

Company Overview
The Company is engaging in the wholesale and retail of high quality, sustainable, environmentally friendly bio-carbon-based fertilizer (herein referred to as "BCBF"). BCBF not only enhances the crop yield but also contributes to environmental preservation. The Company's BCBF is sourced from, and produced by, a third party through heating straw in a closed container with little or no available air. This method is also known as thermal decomposition of organic material under limited supply of oxygen at relatively low temperature. In accordance with requirements imposed by the PRC Ministry of Agriculture, the Company's Supplier of BCBF has registered with Sichuan Province Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, which has an effective period of 5 years, from December 2019 to December 2024. As of the date of this report, the Company does not maintain or operate any production and/or manufacturing of any BCBF facility, machine and/or equipment.
3 |
The Company is currently wholesaling and retailing BCBF through its wholly owned subsidiary SCQC Agriculture Co. Limited ("SCQC"). Management of the Company believes that the BCBF sold by the Company is capable of maintaining soil fertility, enhancing crop yield, improving soil structure, improving water and fertilizer retention capability and improving fertilizer utilization efficiency and effectiveness. This is achieved through balancing carbon and nitrogen content, neutralizing soil pH while at the same time creating soil particle structure that is conducive to plant growth.
The BCBF sold by the Company, produced through straw thermal decomposition, replaces the function of activated carbon. The combination of soil and BCBF is capable of absorbing and reducing pollution content, such as heavy metals from agricultural residual wastes. Further, the combination of water and BCBF is capable of purifying water by producing carbohydrates and glucose, which could be absorbed by and is conducive to the growth of plants. Additionally, BCBF possesses outstanding water storage capacity, which can store up to 10 times the water content when compared to soil without BCBF, which in turn provides farmers greater flexibility during times of hardship such as a drought.
As such, the management of the Company believes that the Company's BCBF is not only a superior option compared to conventional fertilizer in terms of environmentally sustainability, but also from an economic perspective due to the improvement in crop yield quality and quantity. The Company's BCBF consists of roughly 45% organic matter, 20% bio-charcoal, 10% humic acid, 5% NPK and boats an effective microorganism count of 20,000,000 per gram.
On July 25, 2022, the Company launched its online retailing business through an e-commerce platform, offering a range of daily use products including healthcare, cosmetics, fashion, and household products. Customers will place orders through the platform and make payments to the Company. The Company will then place orders with the supplier, who will deliver the products directly to the customer. Settlement between the Company and the suppliers is scheduled on a weekly basis.

The decrease in revenue from $67,593 in the three months ended September 30, 2023, to $0 in the three months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to the decline in the online retailing business.
Cost of Revenue
For the three months ended September 30, 2024, the cost of revenue was $0, compared to the cost of revenue of $5,290 for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in costs of revenue was primarily due to the reduced customer demand in the Company's online retailing business.
Gross Profit
For the three months ended September 30, 2024, the gross profit was $0, as compared to a gross profit of $62,303, with a gross margin of 92%.

The general and administrative expenses are primarily related to salary and social contribution, lease expenses, travelling expenses, advertising expenses, and audit fees. The decrease in general and administrative expenses is mainly due to the reductions in salaries, social contributions, and lease expenses, reflecting the absence of business activities during the period.

Revenue
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company generated revenue of $292,405, compared to $223,564 for the same period in 2023. This increase in total revenue is primarily attributed to the growth in the online retailing business, which accounted for $292,389 of all revenue generated.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the BCBF trading business segment, the online retailing business segment and the beauty products trading business segment contributed 0%, 100% and 0% of the total revenue, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the BCBF trading business segment, the online retailing business segment and the beauty products trading business segment contributed 26%, 44% and 30% of the total revenue respectively.
Cost of revenue
The cost of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $65,117, compared to a cost of revenue of $39,007 for the same period in 2023. This increase is primarily attributable to higher sales costs associated with the online business, which aligns with the increased revenue recorded in this segment. The rise in costs was partially offset by reduced costs of sales in the BCBF and beauty products businesses.
Gross profits and margins
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded a gross profit of $227,288 and a gross margin of 78%, compared to a gross profit of $184,557 and a gross margin of 83% for the same period in 2023. The increase in gross profit is primarily driven by higher revenue from our online retailing business. The slight decrease in gross margin is attributable to a reduction in the beauty products business, which generally yields a higher margin compared to the BCBF trading and online retailing businesses.
Expenses
Selling and distribution expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, were $51,058, compared to $495 for the same period in 2023. This increase in expense is in line with the growth in revenue recorded during the period.
General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, were $123,917, compared to $275,520 for the same period in 2023. The adjustment of the Company's business has led to a reduction in general and administrative expenses.

Operating Income/Loss
The Company incurred an operating profit of $52,313 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to an operating loss of $91,458 for the same period in 2023. The increase in operating profit is attributed to a higher revenue and reduced general and administrative expenses. Substantially all of the operating income during the period are generated by the online retailing business. In addition, breakdown by countries, $36,037 of loss were from customers in the United States, which has been offset by $88,350 of profit generated in China.

Cash Used In Operating Activities
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company used $75,911 in operating activity as compared to $404,282 used during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. This primarily resulted from the reduced amount used in prepayment, deposits and other receivables, and decrease in deferred revenue, which was offset by a decrease in inventories.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company used $404,282 in operating activity, of which primarily consist of net loss, gain on the disposal subsidiary, increase in prepayment, deposits and other receivables, decrease in other payables and accrued liabilities, decrease in deferred revenue and reduction in lease liability contributed by depreciation and amortization, decrease in inventories and increase in receipt in advance.
Cash Used In Investing Activities
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not generate nor used any cash in investing activities.
Cash Used in/Provided by Financing Activities
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, cash used in financing activities amounted to $21,905, due to the Company repaying this amount to the director.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company has received cash provided by director amounting to $171,308.
Capital Requirements
We intend to fund our capital requirements through a combination of cash on hand and cash flows generated from our daily operations.
7 |
Foreign Currency
Most of our revenues and operating expenses are denominated in Renminbi. The Renminbi is currently freely convertible under the "current account," which includes dividends, trade and service-related foreign exchange transactions, but not under the "capital account," which includes foreign direct investment and loans. Under our current corporate structure, our company in the United States may rely on dividend payments from our PRC subsidiaries to fund any cash and financing requirements we may have.
Under existing PRC foreign exchange regulations, payments of current account items, including payment of dividends, interest payments and trade and service-related foreign exchange transactions, can be made in foreign currencies without prior approval of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or SAFE, by complying with certain procedural requirements. Our PRC subsidiaries may also retain foreign exchange in its current account, subject to a ceiling approved by SAFE, to satisfy foreign exchange liabilities or to pay dividends. However, we cannot assure you that the relevant PRC governmental authorities will not limit or eliminate our ability to purchase and retain foreign currencies in the future.
Since a significant amount of our future revenues will be denominated in Renminbi, the existing and any future restrictions on currency exchange may limit our ability to utilize revenues generated in Renminbi to fund our business activities outside China, if any, or expenditures denominated in foreign currencies.
Foreign exchange transactions under the capital account are subject to limitations and require registration with or approval by the relevant PRC governmental authorities. In particular, any transfer of funds from us to any of our PRC subsidiaries, either as a shareholder loan or as an increase in registered capital, is subject to certain statutory limit requirements and registration or approval of the relevant PRC governmental authorities, including the relevant administration of foreign exchange and/or the relevant examining and approval authority. Our ability to use the U.S. dollar proceeds of the sale of our equity or debt to finance our business activities conducted through our PRC subsidiaries will depend on our ability to obtain these governmental registrations or approvals. In addition, because of the regulatory issues related to foreign currency loans to, and foreign investment in, domestic PRC enterprises, we may not be able to finance the operations of our PRC subsidiaries by loans or capital contributions. We cannot assure you that we can obtain these governmental registrations or approvals on a timely basis, if at all.
The amount of cash denominated in RMB is approximately CNY5,739 (approximately $817) as of September 30, 2024.
Off-balance Sheet Commitments and Arrangements
As of September 30, 2024, we have not entered into any other financial guarantees or other commitments to guarantee the payment obligations of any third parties. In addition, we have not entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to our own shares and classified as shareholders' equity, or that are not reflected in our consolidated financial statements.
Critical Accounting Policies
We prepare our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted by the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"), which require us to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect our reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses, and any related disclosures. Although there were no material changes made to the accounting estimates and assumptions in the past three years, we continually evaluate these estimates and assumptions based on the most recently available information, our own historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe 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 our expectations as a result of changes in our estimates.
We believe that our accounting policies involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity in their application and require us to make significant accounting estimates. Accordingly, the policies we believe are the most critical to understanding and evaluating our consolidated financial condition and results of operations are summarized in "Note 3-Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTIES
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company is currently in a net liability position and incurred a net cash used in operating activities of $75,911 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 resulting in accumulated deficit of $334,376 and a working capital deficit of $169,899.
The Company's cash position may not be significant enough to support the Company's daily operations. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to improve profitability and the ability to acquire funding through public offering. If funding from public offering is insufficient, then the Company shall rely on the financial support from its controlling shareholder.
These and other factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that financial statements are issued. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result in the Company not being able to continue as a going concern.
Recent accounting pronouncements
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Improvement to Reportable Segment Disclosures (Topic 280). ASU 2023-07 aims to improve segment disclosures through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The standard requires all public entities, including those public entities that have a single reportable segment, shall disclose all of the following for each period for which an income statement is presented. However, reconciliations of balance sheet amounts for reportable segments to consolidated balance sheet amounts are required only for each year for which a balance sheet is presented. The amendments will be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the additional disclosure requirements on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.
The Company reviews new accounting standards as issued. Management has not identified any other new standards that it believes will have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Emerging Growth Company and Smaller Reporting Company Status
As an emerging growth company under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the JOBS Act), we can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. This period allows an emerging growth company to delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to avail ourselves of this exemption from new or revised accounting standards and, therefore, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates. We also intend to rely on other exemptions provided by the JOBS Act, including without limitation, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of Sarbanes-Oxley.
We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of (i) the end of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the completion of our initial public offering, (ii) the first fiscal year after our annual gross revenues exceed $1.235 billion, (iii) the date on which we have, during the immediately preceding three-year period, issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities or (iv) the end of any fiscal year in which the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the end of the second quarter of that fiscal year.
We are also a "smaller reporting company," meaning that the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates plus the proposed aggregate amount of gross proceeds to us as a result of this offering is less than $700 million and our annual revenue is less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year. We may continue to be a smaller reporting company if either (i) the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $250 million or (ii) our annual revenue is less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700 million. If we are a smaller reporting company at the time we cease to be an emerging growth company, we may continue to rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements that are available to smaller reporting companies. Specifically, as a smaller reporting company we may choose to present only the two most recent fiscal years of audited financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and, similar to emerging growth companies, smaller reporting companies have reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation.

Item 3 Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
As a "smaller reporting company" as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, the Company is not required to provide information required by this Item.
Item 4 Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act 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 principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2024. Based on the evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures, and in light of the material weaknesses found in our internal controls over financial reporting, our chief executive officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. The matters involving internal controls and procedures that our management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: (i) lack of a functioning audit committee due to a lack of a majority of independent members and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; (ii) inadequate segregation of duties and effective risk assessment; (iii) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of both US GAAP and SEC guidelines; and (iv) lack of internal audit function due to the fact that the Company lacks qualified resources to perform the internal audit functions properly and that the scope and effectiveness of the internal audit function are yet to be developed. The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified by our chief executive officer in connection with the review of our financial statements as of September 30, 2024.
Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our 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. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The internal controls for the Company are provided by executive management's review and approval of all transactions. Our internal control over financial reporting also 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 our assets; | |
2. | provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with the authorization of our management; and | |
3. | provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. |
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2024. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Management's assessment included an evaluation of the design of our internal control over financial reporting and testing of the operational effectiveness of these controls.
10 |
As of September 30, 2024, management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") in 2013 and SEC guidance on conducting such assessments. Based on such evaluation, the Company's management concluded that, during the period covered by this Report, our internal control over financial reporting were not effective due to the presence of material weaknesses.
Management's Remediation Initiatives
Since 2021, we engaged Dude Business Consultants Limited as an external consultant to assist with the identification and address of complex and proper accounting issues. Dude Business Consultants Limited has extensive experience on US listing and company reporting, including GAAP conversion, account consolidation and drafting of notes to accounts. Their professional team focus on national stock exchanges and OTC Markets listing, from corporate restructuring, supervision of listing timeline to strategy planning.
In an effort to remediate the identified material weaknesses and other deficiencies and enhance our internal controls, we also plan to initiate the following series of measures to further strengthen the Company's internal controls going forward:
1. | hire a reporting manager ("Internal Finance Manager") who has the requisite relevant U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting experience and qualifications; |
2. | make an overall assessment on the current finance and accounting resources and hire additional accounting members with appropriate levels of accounting knowledge and experience; |
3. | streamline our accounting department structure and enhance our staff's U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting requirements on a continuous basis through internal training provided by the Internal Finance manager; |
4. | participate in trainings and seminars provided by professional services firms on a regular basis to gain knowledge on regular U.S. GAAP / SEC reporting requirements updates; and |
5. | engage an external "Sarbanes-Oxley 404" consulting firm to help us implement Sarbanes-Oxley 404 internal controls compliance together with the establishment of our internal audit function. |
We anticipate that these initiatives will be at least partially, if not fully, implemented by the end of fiscal year 2025.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended September 30, 2024, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
As of the date of this report, SCQC, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, is involved in a legal dispute with Sichuan Aima Ke'er Biotechnology Group Co. ("Sichuan Aima") regarding a cooperative agreement that was entered by both parties on June 7, 2022. The Chief Executive Officer and Director of the Company, Ms. Wang Min, serves as the legal representative of SCQC. This agreement was intended to support the business expansion of SCQC and outlined mutual obligations for collaboration over a two-year period, set to expire on June 6, 2024.
In January 2023, SCQC transferred a total of RMB1,000,000 (approximately $142,420) to Sichuan Aima as an advance payment for the cooperative arrangement under the agreement. However, negotiations in March 2023 were unproductive, leading both parties to terminate the cooperation. Sichuan Aima provided partial compensation to SCQC by offsetting the outstanding amount with goods of equivalent value at RMB 466,637.20 (approximately $66,458). SCQC is now pursuing the recovery of the remaining balance of RMB533,362.80 (approximately $75,961).
On September 9, 2024, the Sichuan Free Trade Zone People's Court formally accepted SCQC's claim against Sichuan Aima. The case is scheduled to be heard on November 19, 2024. As of the date of this report, the case remains unresolved, and no settlement has been reached.
While this dispute is not anticipated to have material adverse impacts on the Company's financial condition or operations, the Company continues to closely monitor its progress. Aside from the above, the Company is not involved in, nor aware of, any unresolved legal proceedings, investigations, or claims that, in management's opinion, would have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, or results of operations.
