Business Combinations

 

The Company accounts for acquisition of entities that include inputs and processes and has the ability to create outputs as business combinations. The Company allocates the purchase price of the acquisition to the tangible assets, liabilities and identifiable intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the purchase price over those fair values is recorded as goodwill. Acquisition-related expenses and integration costs are expensed as incurred.

 

Interim Financial Statements

 

The following (a) condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024, which has been derived from audited financial statements, and (b) the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2024 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on May 23, 2025.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

In accordance with ASC, Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to its customers. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled to receive in exchange for these goods and services.

 

The core principle of the standard is that we should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, we apply the following five step model:

 

1.Identify the contract with the customer; 

2.Identify the performance obligations in the contract; 

3.Determine the transaction price; 

4.Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and 

5.Recognize revenue when (or as) each performance obligation is satisfied. 

 

The Company recognizes revenue when: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has completed; (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.

 

Food & Beverage and Delivery

 

We provide food and beverage sales and delivery services. Control of services is passed to customers when the food and beverages are transferred to the customers. Transaction price includes mainly delivery fees from delivery services. Payments were received upon receipt of delivery orders. For food and beverage sales and delivery services, we recognize revenue when control of an order of food and beverages is transferred to the customers. Payment terms are short-term in nature. The Company defers any revenue for which the product has not been delivered or services not yet rendered or are subjected to refund until such time that the Company and the customer jointly determine that the product has been delivered or services have been rendered or no refund will be required. Revenue is recognized at a point in time upon the customers received the delivered products.

 

Graphite Trading

 

Revenue from sale of graphite products is recognized at the point in time when the control of graphite product is transferred to customers. Transaction price is the sales price agreed with customers net of estimated costs of returns and allowance. Performance obligation is satisfied when customers obtained control of graphite products, and when all significant contractual obligations of the Company have been satisfied, typically upon completion of delivery.

 

Products are generally sold on open accounts under credit terms customary to the geographic region of distribution. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of the customers and generally does not require collateral to secure the accounts receivable.

 

IT Supporting Services

 

The Company operates a mobile platform of ordering and delivery services for restaurants and supermarket mainly in Macau. Performance obligation is satisfied when the transactions of delivery services in the mobile platform are closed. Revenue is recognized at a point in time upon such performance obligation is satisfied. Transaction price was the service charge agreed with customers.

 

Segment information

 

ASC 280-10 establishes standards for reporting information regarding operating segments in annual financial statements and requires selected information for those segments to be presented in interim financial reports issued to stockholders. ASC 280-10 also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services and geographic areas. Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in making decisions how to allocate resources and assess performance. All sales and substantial assets of the Company are disclosed in Note 21. The Company applies the management approach to the identification of our reportable operating segments as provided in accordance with ASC 280-10. The information disclosed herein materially represents all of the financial information related to the Company’s principal operating segment.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the 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 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to a concentration of credit risk are cash and accounts receivable.  Generally, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents in interest-bearing accounts may exceed FDIC insurance limits. The financial stability of these institutions is periodically reviewed by senior management.

 

As of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Company maintained $5,384,827 and $4,428,781 in foreign bank accounts at high credit quality financial institutions.

 

The Company has no significant off-balance-sheet concentrations of credit risk such as foreign exchange contracts, options contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and demand deposits held by banks.

 

Comprehensive Income / (Loss)

 

The Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 220-10, Comprehensive Income (“ASC 220-10”) which establishes standards for the reporting and displaying of comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a business during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owners sources.  It includes all changes in equity during a period except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. ASC 220-10 requires other comprehensive income (loss) to include foreign currency translation adjustments.

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

The Company translates the foreign currency consolidated financial statements into US Dollars (“USD”) using the year or reporting period-end or average exchange rates in accordance with the requirements of Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 830-10, Foreign Currency Matters (“ASC 830-10”).  Assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries were translated at exchange rates as of the balance sheet date.  Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates in effect for the periods presented.

 

The functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries is primarily the currency of their country of domicile, which the functional currency of the Company is USD and the subsidiaries is Macau Pataca (“MOP”), Hong Kong Dollar (“HK$”) and Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”). The consolidated financial statements were presented in USD except as other specified.

 

The cumulative translation adjustment is included in the accumulated other comprehensive loss within stockholders’ equity.  Foreign currency transaction gains and losses arising from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the consolidated results of operations.

The exchange rates used to translate amounts in HKD, MOP and RMB into US Dollars for the purposes of preparing the consolidated financial statements were as follows:

Property, plant and equipment

 

The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are as follows:

                                          

 

                  

Office equipment

 

3-5 years

Furniture and fixtures

 

3-5 years

Vehicles

 

4 years

 

The Company evaluates the carrying value of items of property, plant and equipment to be held and used whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.  The carrying value of an item of property, plant and equipment is considered impaired when the projected undiscounted future cash flows related to the asset are less than its carrying value.  The Company measures impairment based on the amount by which the carrying value of the respective asset exceeds its fair value.  Fair value is determined primarily using the projected future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved.

 

Intangible assets

 

Purchased intangible assets are recognized and measured at fair value upon acquisition. Separately identifiable intangible assets that have determinable lives continue to be amortized over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method based on their estimated useful lives as follows:

 

Software

 

1-10 years

 

 

The Company reviews intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

 

Account receivables

 

Account receivables are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The Company extends unsecured credit to its customers in the ordinary course of business but mitigates the associated risks by performing credit checks and actively pursuing past due accounts. An allowance for doubtful accounts is established and recorded based on management’s assessment of potential losses based on the credit history and relationships with the customers. Management reviews its receivables on a regular basis to determine if bad debt allowance is adequate, and adjusts the allowance when necessary. Delinquent account balances are written-off against allowance for doubtful accounts after management has determined that the likelihood of collection is not probable.

 

The Company considered the amounts of receivables in dispute and believes an allowance for these receivables were not necessary as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

ASC Topic 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. This topic does not require any new fair value measurements. ASC Topic 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. As a basis for

considering such assumptions, ASC Topic 820 establishes a three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:

 

Level 1 —

Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 —

Other inputs that is directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.

 

 

 

Level 3 —

Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.

 

 

 

 

The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

 

Net Income Per Common Share

 

Net income per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common stock shares outstanding during the year.  Diluted net income per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common stock shares outstanding during the year plus potential dilutive instruments such as stock options and warrants.  

 

The effect of stock options on diluted net income per common share is determined through the application of the treasury stock method, whereby proceeds received by the Company based on assumed exercises are hypothetically used to repurchase the Company's common stock at the average market price during the period.  The Company has no stock options, warrants or other potentially dilutive instruments outstanding at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

 

Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

 

The Company entered into a JV agreement with an independent third party, to form a JV company. The joint venture agreement provides the Company with only the rights to the assets and obligation for the liabilities of the joint arrangement resting primarily with the JV. In adopting ASC Topic 323, Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), the Company’s investment in joint venture is accounted for using the equity method. The investments in unconsolidated joint ventures were fully impaired in prior years due to the loss-making position of the JV company.

 

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.

 

Goodwill

 

Goodwill is recorded as the difference between the aggregate consideration paid for in a business combination and the fair value of the acquired net tangible and intangible assets acquired. The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment on an annual basis in the fourth quarter or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. The Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. Based on that qualitative assessment, if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, the Company conducts a quantitative goodwill impairment test, which involves comparing the estimated fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying value, including goodwill. The Company estimates the fair value of a reporting unit using a combination of the income and market approach. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, an impairment loss is recorded for the difference.

 

Non-controlling interest

 

Non-controlling interests represent the equity interests in the subsidiaries that are not attributable, either directly or indirectly, to the Company.

 

Lease liabilities

 

Operating leases

 

In adopting ASC Topic 842, Leases (Topic 842), the Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company did not elect the use-of-hindsight or the practical expedient pertaining to land easements; the latter is not applicable to the Company.

 

Upon lease inception, operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term discounted using the rate implicit in the lease. In cases where the implicit rate is not readily determinable, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease.

 

In determining the length of the lease term to its long-term lease, the Company determined it did not have an option to extend either lease.  

 

Short-term leases

 

In addition, the Company elected not to apply ASC Topic 842 to arrangements with lease terms of 12 months or less.  

 

Recent Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.” These amendments require a public entity to disclose significant segment expenses and other segment items on an annual and interim basis and to provide in interim periods all disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets that are currently required annually. Public entities with a single reporting segment are required to provide both the new disclosures and all of the existing disclosures required under ASC 280. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. Since this new ASU addresses only disclosures, the Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have any material effects on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. The Company is currently evaluating any new disclosures that may be required upon adoption of ASU 2023-07.

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The amendments in this update address investor requests for more transparency about income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. This update also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in ASU 2023 – 09 are effective for the Company on December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. Since this new ASU addresses only disclosures, the Company does not expect the adoption to have any material effects on its financial condition, results of operation or cash flows. The Company is currently evaluating any new disclosures that may be required upon adoption of ASU 2023–09.

 

Management believes that other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission do not have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU no. 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosure (Subtopic 220-40). The amendments in this update enhance disclosures about a public business entity’s expenses and provide more detailed information about the types of expenses included in certain notes in the consolidated financial statements. ASU no. 2024-03 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption permitted. The amendments may be applied

prospectively to reporting periods after the effective date or retrospectively to all periods presented in the consolidated financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating any new disclosures that may be required upon adoption of ASU 2024-03.

The Company’s management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.
