INTRODUCTORY COMMENT
We are a Nevada holding company with operations conducted through our wholly owned subsidiaries based in Hong Kong and an affiliated company in Australia. Our investors hold shares of common stock in International Endeavors Corporation, the Nevada holding company. This structure presents unique risks as our investors may never directly hold equity interests in our Hong Kong subsidiaries and will be dependent upon contributions from our subsidiaries to finance our cash flow needs. Our ability to obtain contributions from our subsidiaries are significantly affected by regulations promulgated by Hong Kong authority. Any change in the interpretation of existing rules and regulations or the promulgation of new rules and regulations may materially affect our operations and or the value of our securities, including causing the value of our securities to significantly decline or become worthless. For a detailed description of the risks facing the Company associated with our structure, please refer to “Risk Factors – Risks Relating to Doing Business in Hong Kong.”
International Endeavors Corporation and our Hong Kong subsidiaries are not required to obtain permission or approval from the China Securities Regulatory Commission, or CSRC, the Cybersecurity Administration Committee, or CAC, or any other Chinese authorities to operate our business or to issue securities to foreign investors. However, in light of the recent statements and regulatory actions by the People’s Republic of China (“the PRC”) government, such as those related to Hong Kong’s national security, the promulgation of regulations prohibiting foreign ownership of Chinese companies operating in certain industries, which are constantly evolving, and anti-monopoly concerns, we may be subject to the risks of uncertainty of any future actions of the PRC government in this regard including the risk that we inadvertently conclude that such approvals are not required, that applicable laws, regulations or interpretations change such that we are required to obtain approvals in the future, or that the PRC government could disallow our holding company structure, which would likely result in a material change in our operations, including our ability to continue our existing holding company structure, carry on our current business, accept foreign investments, and offer or continue to offer securities to our investors. These adverse actions could cause the value of our common stock to significantly decline or become worthless. We may also be subject to penalties and sanctions imposed by the PRC regulatory agencies, including the Chinese Securities Regulatory Commission, if we fail to comply with such rules and regulations, which would likely adversely affect the ability of the Company’s securities to continue to trade on the OTC Markets, which would likely cause the value of our securities to significantly decline or become worthless.
There are prominent legal and operational risks associated with our operations being in Hong Kong. For example, as a U.S.-listed Hong Kong public company, we may face heightened scrutiny, criticism and negative publicity, which could result in a material change in our operations and the value of our common stock. It could also significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or be worthless. We are subject to risks arising from the legal system in China where there are risks and uncertainties regarding the enforcement of laws including where the Chinese government can change the rules and regulations in China and Hong Kong, including the enforcement and interpretation thereof, at any time with little to no advance notice and can intervene at any time with little to no advance notice. Changes in Chinese internal regulatory mandates, such as the M&A rules, Anti-Monopoly Law, and Data Security Law, may target the Company's corporate structure and impact our ability to conduct business in Hong Kong, accept foreign investments, or list on an U.S. or other foreign exchange. By way of example, the PRC government initiated a series of regulatory actions and statements to regulate business operations in China with little advance notice, including cracking down on illegal activities in the securities market, enhancing supervision over China-based companies listed overseas using variable interest entity structure, adopting new measures to extend the scope of cybersecurity reviews, and expanding the efforts in anti-monopoly enforcement. In April 2020, the Cyberspace Administration of China and certain other PRC regulatory authorities promulgated the Cybersecurity Review Measures, which became effective in June 2020. Pursuant to the Cybersecurity Review Measures, operators of critical information infrastructure must pass a cybersecurity review when purchasing network products and services which do or may affect national security. On July 10, 2021, the Cyberspace Administration of China issued a revised draft of the Measures for Cybersecurity Review for public comments (“Draft Measures”), which required that, in addition to “operator of critical information infrastructure,” any “data processor” carrying out data processing activities that affect or may affect national security should also be subject to cybersecurity review, and further elaborated the factors to be considered when assessing the national security risks of the relevant activities, including, among others, (i) the risk of core data, important data or a large amount of personal information being stolen, leaked, destroyed, and illegally used or exited the country; and (ii) the risk of critical information infrastructure, core data, important data or a large amount of personal information being affected, controlled, or maliciously used by foreign governments after listing abroad. The Cyberspace Administration of China has said that under the proposed rules companies holding data on more than 1,000,000 users must now apply for cybersecurity approval when seeking listings in other nations because of the risk that such data and personal information could be “affected, controlled, and maliciously exploited by foreign governments,” The cybersecurity review will also investigate the potential national security risks from overseas IPOs. On January 4, 2022, the CAC, in conjunction with 12 other government departments, issued the New Measures for Cybersecurity Review (the "New Measures") on January 4, 2022. The New Measures amends the Draft Measures released on July 10, 2021 and became effective on February 15, 2022.
ii |
The business of our subsidiaries is not subject to cybersecurity review with the Cyberspace Administration of China, or CAC, given that: (i) we do not have one million individual online users of our products and services in Hong Kong; (ii) we do not possess a large amount of personal information in our business operations. In addition, we are not subject to merger control review by China’s anti-monopoly enforcement agency due to the level of our revenues which provided from us and audited by our auditor and the fact that we currently do not expect to propose or implement any acquisition of control of, or decisive influence over, any company with revenues within China of more than Renminbi (“RMB”) 400 million. Currently, these statements and regulatory actions have had no impact on our daily business operations, the ability to accept foreign investments and list our securities on an U.S. or other foreign exchange. However, since these statements and regulatory actions are new, it is highly uncertain how soon legislative or administrative regulation making bodies will respond and what existing or new laws or regulations or detailed implementations and interpretations will be modified or promulgated, if any, and the potential impact such modified or new laws and regulations will have on our daily business operation, the ability to accept foreign investments and list our securities on an U.S. or other foreign exchange. For a detailed description of the risks the Company is facing and the offering associated with our operations in Hong Kong, please refer to “Risk Factors – Risks Relating to Doing Business in Hong Kong.”
The recent joint statement by the SEC and PCAOB, and the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act all call for additional and more stringent criteria to be applied to emerging market companies upon assessing the qualification of their auditors, especially the non-U.S. auditors who are not inspected by the PCAOB. Trading in our securities may be prohibited under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act if the PCAOB determines that it cannot inspect or investigate completely our auditor, and that as a result, an exchange may determine to delist our securities. The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023 amended the HFCAA and reduced the number of consecutive non-inspection years required for triggering the prohibitions under the HFCAA from three years to two thus reducing the time before our securities may be prohibited from trading or being delisted. On December 16, 2021, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) issued its report notifying the Commission that it is unable to inspect or investigate completely accounting firms headquartered in mainland China or Hong Kong due to positions taken by authorities in mainland China and Hong Kong. On December 15, 2022, the PCAOB issued a report that vacated its December 16, 2021 determination and removed mainland China and Hong Kong from the list of jurisdictions where it is unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms. Our auditor is based in Hong Kong and is subject to PCAOB inspection. It is not subject to the determinations announced by the PCAOB on December 16, 2021. Each year, the PCAOB will determine whether it can inspect and investigate completely audit firms in mainland China and Hong Kong, among other jurisdictions. If PCAOB determines in the future that it no longer has full access to inspect and investigate completely accounting firms in mainland China and Hong Kong and we continue to use an accounting firm headquartered in Hong Kong to issue an audit report on our financial statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, we would be identified as a Commission-Identified Issuer following the filing of the annual report on Form 10-K for the relevant fiscal year. There can be no assurance that we would not be identified as a Commission-Identified Issuer for any future fiscal year, and if we were so identified for two consecutive years, we would become subject to the prohibition on trading under the HFCAA, as amended by the Consolidated Appropriations Act, and our securities may be delisted from OTC Markets as a result. Furthermore, we cannot assure you whether the SEC or other regulatory authorities would apply additional and more stringent criteria to us after considering the effectiveness of our auditor’s audit procedures and quality control procedures, adequacy of personnel and training, or sufficiency of resources, geographic reach or experience as it relates to the audit of our financial statements. Please see “Risk Factors- The Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act requires the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) to be permitted to inspect the issuer's public accounting firm within three years. This three-year period was shortened to two upon the enactment of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023. There are uncertainties under the PRC Securities Law relating to the procedures and requisite timing for the U.S. securities regulatory agencies to conduct investigations and collect evidence within the territory of the PRC. If the U.S. securities regulatory agencies are unable to conduct such investigations, they may suspend or de-register our registration with the SEC and delist our securities from applicable trading market within the US.”

In addition to the foregoing risks, we face various legal and operational risks and uncertainties arising from doing business in Hong Kong as summarized below and in “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Doing Business in Hong Kong.”
· | Adverse changes in economic and political policies of the PRC government could have a material and adverse effect on overall economic growth in China and Hong Kong, which could materially and adversely affect our business. Please see “Risk Factors-We face the risk that changes in the policies of the PRC government could have a significant impact upon the business we may be able to conduct in Hong Kong and the profitability of such business.” and “Substantial uncertainties and restrictions with respect to the political and economic policies of the PRC government and PRC laws and regulations could have a significant impact upon the business that we may be able to conduct in the PRC and accordingly on the results of our operations and financial condition.” | |
· | We are a holding company with operations conducted through our wholly owned subsidiaries based in Hong Kong and an affiliated company in Australia. We will set up joint-venture entities for property development projects. This structure presents unique risks as our investors may never directly hold equity interests in our Hong Kong subsidiaries and will be dependent upon contributions from our subsidiaries to finance our cash flow needs. Any limitation on the ability of our subsidiaries to make payments to us could have a material adverse effect on our ability to conduct business. We are currently focused on reinvesting our earnings to support future growth and innovation. As a result, we do not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future. Please see “Risk Factors - Because our holding company structure creates restrictions on the payment of dividends or other cash payments, our ability to pay dividends or make other payments is limited.” | |
· | There is a possibility that the PRC could prevent our cash maintained in Hong Kong from leaving or the PRC could restrict the deployment of the cash into our business or for the payment of dividends. We rely on dividends from our Hong Kong subsidiary for our cash and financing requirements, such as the funds necessary to service any debt we may incur. Any such controls or restrictions may adversely affect our ability to finance our cash requirements, service debt or make dividend or other distributions to our shareholders. Please see “Risk Factors - Our Hong Kong subsidiary may be subject to restrictions on paying dividends or making other payments to us, which may restrict its ability to satisfy liquidity requirements, conduct business and pay dividends to holders of our common stock.”; “Risk Factors - PRC regulation of loans to and direct investment in PRC entities by offshore holding companies and governmental control of currency conversion may delay or prevent us from using the proceeds we receive from offshore financing activities to make loans to or make additional capital contributions to our Hong Kong subsidiary, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand business.”; “Risk Factors - Because our holding company structure creates restrictions on the payment of dividends or other cash payments, our ability to pay dividends or make other payments is limited.” and “Transfers of Cash to and from our Subsidiaries.” | |
· | PRC regulation of loans to and direct investments in PRC entities by offshore holding companies may delay or prevent us from using the proceeds of this offering to make loans or additional capital contributions to our operating subsidiaries in Hong Kong. Substantial uncertainties exist with respect to the interpretation of the PRC Foreign Investment Law and how it may impact the viability of our current corporate structure, corporate governance and business operations. Please see “Risk Factors- PRC regulation of loans to and direct investment in PRC entities by offshore holding companies and governmental control of currency conversion may delay or prevent us from using the proceeds we receive from offshore financing activities to make loans to or make additional capital contributions to our Hong Kong subsidiaries, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand business.” | |
· | The legal and regulatory environment in Hong Kong has continued to evolve in recent years. While Hong Kong maintains a separate legal system from mainland China, government authority in mainland China may change Hong Kong’s rules and regulations with little to no advance notice, and can intervene and influence our operations and business activities in Hong Kong. We are currently not required to obtain approval from Chinese authorities to list on U.S. exchanges. However, if our subsidiaries or the holding company were required to obtain approval in the future, or we erroneously conclude that approvals were not required, or we were denied permission from Chinese authorities to operate or to list on U.S. exchanges, we will not be able to continue listing on a U.S. exchange and the value of our common stock would likely significantly decline or become worthless, which would materially affect the interest of the investors. There is a risk that the Chinese government may intervene or influence our operations, or may exert more control over offerings conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in Hong Kong-based issuers, which could result in a material change in our operations and/or the value of our securities. Further, any actions by the Chinese government to exert more oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in China-based issuers would likely significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or be worthless. Please see “Risk Factors-We face the risk that changes in the policies of the PRC government could have a significant impact upon the business we may be able to conduct in the Hong Kong and the profitability of such business.” and “Substantial uncertainties and restrictions with respect to the political and economic policies of the PRC government and PRC laws and regulations could have a significant impact upon the business that we may be able to conduct in Hong Kong and accordingly on the results of our operations and financial condition.” and “The Chinese government exerts substantial influence over the manner in which we must conduct our business activities. We are currently not required to obtain approval from Chinese authorities to list on U.S exchanges. However, to the extent that the Chinese government exerts more control over offerings conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in China-based issuers over time and if our PRC subsidiaries or the holding company were required to obtain approval in the future and were denied permission from Chinese authorities to list on U.S. exchanges, we will not be able to continue listing on U.S. exchange and the value of our common stock may significantly decline or become worthless, which would materially affect the interest of the investors.” |
iv |
· | Governmental control of currency conversion may limit our ability to utilize our revenues effectively and affect the value of your investment. | |
· | We may become subject to a variety of laws and regulations in the PRC regarding privacy, data security, cybersecurity, and data protection. We may be liable for improper use or appropriation of personal information provided by our customers. Please see “Risk Factors- The Chinese government exerts substantial influence over the manner in which we must conduct our business activities. We are currently not required to obtain approval from Chinese authorities to list on U.S exchanges. However, to the extent that the Chinese government exerts more control over offerings conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in China-based issuers over time and if our PRC subsidiaries or the holding company were required to obtain approval in the future and were denied permission from Chinese authorities to list on U.S. exchanges, we will not be able to continue listing on U.S. exchange and the value of our common stock may significantly decline or become worthless, which would materially affect the interest of the investors.” | |
· | Under the Enterprise Income Tax Law of the PRC (“EIT Law”), we may be classified as a “Resident Enterprise” of China. Such classification will likely result in unfavorable tax consequences to us and our non-PRC shareholders. Please see “Risk Factors- Our global income may be subject to PRC taxes under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.” | |
· | Failure to comply with PRC regulations relating to the establishment of offshore special purpose companies by PRC residents may subject our PRC resident Shareholders to personal liability, may limit our ability to acquire Hong Kong and PRC companies or to inject capital into our Hong Kong subsidiary, may limit the ability of our Hong Kong subsidiaries to distribute profits to us or may otherwise materially and adversely affect us. | |
· | The recent joint statement by the SEC and PCAOB, and the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act all call for additional and more stringent criteria to be applied to emerging market companies upon assessing the qualification of their auditors, especially the non-U.S. auditors who are not inspected by the PCAOB. Trading in our securities may be prohibited under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act if the PCAOB determines that it cannot inspect or investigate completely our auditor, and that as a result an exchange may determine to delist our securities. The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023 amended the HFCAA and reduced the number of consecutive non-inspection years required for triggering the prohibitions under the HFCAA from three years to two thus reducing the time before our securities may be prohibited from trading or being delisted. Pursuant to the HFCAA, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) issued its report notifying the Commission that it is unable to inspect or investigate completely accounting firms headquartered in mainland China or Hong Kong due to positions taken by authorities in mainland China and Hong Kong. This report was vacated on December 15, 2022. Our auditor is not subject to the determinations announced by the PCAOB on December 16, 2021. However, in the event the Chinese authorities subsequently take a position disallowing the PCAOB to inspect our auditor, then we would need to change our auditor to avoid having our securities delisted. Please see “Risk Factors- The Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act requires the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) to be permitted to inspect the issuer's public accounting firm within three years. This three-year period was shortened to two upon the enactment of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023. There are uncertainties under the PRC Securities Law relating to the procedures and requisite timing for the U.S. securities regulatory agencies to conduct investigations and collect evidence within the territory of the PRC. If the U.S. securities regulatory agencies are unable to conduct such investigations, they may suspend or de-register our registration with the SEC and delist our securities from applicable trading market within the US.” | |
· | You may be subject to PRC income tax on dividends from us or on any gain realized on the transfer of shares of our common stock. Please see “Risk Factors- Dividends payable to our foreign investors and gains on the sale of our shares of common stock by our foreign investors may become subject to tax by the PRC.” | |
· | We face uncertainties with respect to indirect transfers of equity interests in PRC resident enterprises by their non-PRC holding companies. Please see “Risk Factors- We and our shareholders face uncertainties with respect to indirect transfers of equity interests in PRC resident enterprises by their non-PRC holding companies.” | |
· | We are organized under the laws of the State of Nevada as a holding company that conducts its business through a number of subsidiaries organized under the laws of foreign jurisdictions such as Hong Kong and the British Virgin Islands. This may have an adverse impact on the ability of U.S. investors to enforce a judgment obtained in U.S. Courts against these entities, bring actions in Hong Kong against us or our management or to effect service of process on the officers and directors managing the foreign subsidiaries. Please see “Risk Factors- It may be difficult for stockholders to enforce any judgment obtained in the United States against us, which may limit the remedies otherwise available to our stockholders.” | |
· | U.S. regulatory bodies may be limited in their ability to conduct investigations or inspections of our operations in China. | |
· | There are significant uncertainties under the EIT Law relating to the withholding tax liabilities of our PRC subsidiary, and dividends payable by our PRC subsidiary to our offshore subsidiaries may not qualify to enjoy certain treaty benefits. Please see “Risk Factors- Our global income may be subject to PRC taxes under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.” |

References in this registration statement to the “Company,” “IDVV,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to International Endeavors Corporation, a Nevada company and all of its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. Where reference to a specific entity is required, the name of such specific entity will be referenced.
Transfers of Cash to and from Our Subsidiaries
International Endeavors Corporation is a Nevada holding company with no operations of its own. We conduct our operations primarily through our subsidiaries in Hong Kong and an affiliated company in Australia. We will set up joint-venture entities for property development projects. We may rely on dividends or other transfers of cash or assets to be made by our Hong Kong subsidiaries to fund our cash and financing requirements, including the funds necessary to pay dividends and other cash distributions to our shareholders, to service any debt we may incur and to pay our operating expenses. If our Hong Kong subsidiaries incur debt on their own behalf in the future, the instruments governing the debt may restrict their ability to pay dividends or make other distributions to us. To date, our subsidiaries have not made any transfers, dividends or distributions of cash flows or other assets to International Endeavors Corporation and International Endeavors Corporation has not made any transfers, dividends or distributions of cash flows or other assets to our subsidiaries.
International Endeavors Corporation is permitted under the Nevada laws to provide funding to and receive funding from our subsidiaries in Hong Kong through loans or capital contributions without restrictions on the amount of the funds, subject to satisfaction of applicable government registration, approval and filing requirements. Our Hong Kong subsidiaries are also permitted under the laws of Hong Kong to provide and receive funding to and from International Endeavors Corporation through dividend distribution without restrictions on the amount of the funds. As of the date of this report, there has been no dividends or distributions among the holding company or the subsidiaries nor do we expect such dividends or distributions to occur in the foreseeable future among the holding company and its subsidiaries.
We currently intend to retain all available funds and future earnings, if any, for the operation and expansion of our business and do not anticipate declaring or paying any dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future determination related to our dividend policy will be made at the discretion of our board of directors after considering our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, contractual requirements, business prospects and other factors the board of directors deems relevant, and subject to the restrictions contained in any future financing instruments.
Subject to the Nevada Revised Statutes and our bylaws, our board of directors may authorize and declare a dividend to shareholders at such time and of such an amount as they think fit if they are satisfied, on reasonable grounds, that immediately following the dividend the value of our assets will exceed our liabilities and we will be able to pay our debts as they become due. There is no further Nevada statutory restriction on the amount of funds which may be distributed by us by dividend.
Under the current practice of the Inland Revenue Department of Hong Kong, no tax is payable in Hong Kong in respect of dividends paid by us. The laws and regulations of the PRC do not currently have any material impact on transfer of cash from International Endeavors Corporation to our Hong Kong subsidiaries or from our Hong Kong subsidiaries to International Endeavors Corporation There are no restrictions or limitation under the laws of Hong Kong imposed on the conversion of Hong Kong dollar (“HKD”) into foreign currencies and the remittance of currencies out of Hong Kong or across borders and to U.S. investors.
There is a possibility that the PRC could prevent our cash maintained in Hong Kong from leaving or the PRC could restrict the deployment of the cash into our business or for the payment of dividends. Any such controls or restrictions may adversely affect our ability to finance our cash requirements, service debt or make dividend or other distributions to our shareholders. Please see “Risk Factors - Our Hong Kong subsidiary may be subject to restrictions on paying dividends or making other payments to us, which may restrict its ability to satisfy liquidity requirements, conduct business and pay dividends to holders of our common stock.”; “Risk Factors - PRC regulation of loans to and direct investment in PRC entities by offshore holding companies and governmental control of currency conversion may delay or prevent us from using the proceeds we receive from offshore financing activities to make loans to or make additional capital contributions to our Hong Kong subsidiary, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand business.”; “Risk Factors - Because our holding company structure creates restrictions on the payment of dividends or other cash payments, our ability to pay dividends or make other payments is limited.”

Current PRC regulations permit PRC subsidiaries to pay dividends to Hong Kong subsidiaries only out of their accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with Chinese accounting standards and regulations. In addition, each of our subsidiaries in China is required to set aside at least 10% of its after-tax profits each year, if any, to fund a statutory reserve until such reserve reaches 50% of its registered capital. Each of such entity in China is also required to further set aside a portion of its after-tax profits to fund the employee welfare fund, although the amount to be set aside, if any, is determined at the discretion of its board of directors. Although the statutory reserves can be used, among other ways, to increase the registered capital and eliminate future losses in excess of retained earnings of the respective companies, the reserve funds are not distributable as cash dividends except in the event of liquidation. As of the date of this prospectus, we do not have any PRC subsidiaries.
The PRC government imposes controls on the conversion of RMB into foreign currencies and the remittance of currencies out of the PRC. We currently do not maintain bank accounts in the PRC. To the extent that we maintain bank accounts in the PRC in the future, we may experience difficulties in completing the administrative procedures necessary to obtain and remit foreign currency to finance our cash requirements, service debt or make dividend or other distributions to our shareholders. Furthermore, if our subsidiaries in the PRC incur debt on their own in the future, the instruments governing the debt may restrict their ability to pay dividends or make other payments. If we or our subsidiaries are unable to receive all of the revenues from our operations, we may be unable to pay dividends on our common stock.
Cash dividends, if any, on our common stock will be paid in U.S. dollars. If we are considered a PRC tax resident enterprise for tax purposes, any dividends we pay to our overseas shareholders may be regarded as China-sourced income and as a result may be subject to PRC withholding tax at a rate of up to 10.0%.
In order for us to pay dividends to our shareholders, we will rely on payments made from our Hong Kong subsidiaries to International Endeavors Corporation. If in the future we have PRC subsidiaries, certain payments from such PRC subsidiaries to Hong Kong subsidiaries will be subject to PRC taxes, including business taxes and VAT. As of the date of this prospectus, we do not have any PRC subsidiaries and our Hong Kong subsidiaries have not made any transfers, dividends or distributions nor do we expect to make such transfers, dividends or distributions in the foreseeable future.
Pursuant to the Arrangement between Mainland China and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region for the Avoidance of Double Taxation and Tax Evasion on Income, or the Double Tax Avoidance Arrangement, the 10% withholding tax rate may be lowered to 5% if a Hong Kong resident enterprise owns no less than 25% of a PRC entity. However, the 5% withholding tax rate does not automatically apply and certain requirements must be satisfied, including, without limitation, that (a) the Hong Kong entity must be the beneficial owner of the relevant dividends; and (b) the Hong Kong entity must directly hold no less than 25% share ownership in the PRC entity during the 12 consecutive months preceding its receipt of the dividends. In current practice, a Hong Kong entity must obtain a tax resident certificate from the Hong Kong tax authority to apply for the 5% lower PRC withholding tax rate. As the Hong Kong tax authority will issue such a tax resident certificate on a case-by-case basis, we cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain the tax resident certificate from the relevant Hong Kong tax authority and enjoy the preferential withholding tax rate of 5% under the Double Taxation Arrangement with respect to dividends to be paid by a PRC subsidiary to its immediate holding company. As of the date of this prospectus, we do not have a PRC subsidiary. In the event that we acquire or form a PRC subsidiary in the future and such PRC subsidiary desires to declare and pay dividends to our Hong Kong subsidiary, our Hong Kong subsidiary will be required to apply for the tax resident certificate from the relevant Hong Kong tax authority. In such event, we plan to inform the investors through SEC filings, such as a current report on Form 8-K, prior to such actions. See “Risk Factors – Risks Relating to Doing Business in Hong Kong.”

Item 1. | Business |

We are a Nevada holding company with operations conducted through our wholly owned subsidiaries based in Hong Kong and an affiliated company. We also operate through joint-venture entities that are newly established for our property development projects. This structure presents unique risks as our investors may never directly hold equity interests in our operating Hong Kong subsidiaries and will be dependent upon contributions from our subsidiaries to finance our cash flow needs. International Endeavors Corporation and its Hong Kong subsidiaries are not required to obtain permission from the Chinese authorities including the China Securities Regulatory Commission, or CSRC, or Cybersecurity Administration Committee, or CAC, to operate or to issue securities to foreign investors. However, in light of the recent statements and regulatory actions by the PRC government, such as those related to Hong Kong’s national security, the promulgation of regulations prohibiting foreign ownership of Chinese companies operating in certain industries, which are constantly evolving, and anti-monopoly concerns, we (the parent company and our subsidiaries) may be subject to the risks of uncertainty of any future actions of the PRC government in this regard including the risk that we inadvertently conclude that such approvals are not required, that applicable laws, regulations or interpretations change such that we are required to obtain approvals in the future, or that the PRC government could disallow our holding company structure, which would likely result in a material change in our operations, including our ability to continue our existing holding company structure, carry on our current business, accept foreign investments, and offer or continue to offer securities to our investors. These adverse actions would likely cause value the value of our common stock to significantly decline or become worthless. We may also be subject to penalties and sanctions imposed by the PRC regulatory agencies, including the Chinese Securities Regulatory Commission, if we fail to comply with such rules and regulations, which would likely adversely affect the ability of the Company’s securities to continue to trade on the OTC Markets, which would likely cause the value of our securities to significantly decline or become worthless. For a detailed description of the risks facing the Company associated with our operations in Hong Kong, please refer to “Risk Factors – Risk Relating to Doing Business in Hong Kong.”
We are organized under the laws of the State of Nevada as a holding company that conducts its business through a number of subsidiaries organized under the laws of foreign jurisdictions such as Hong Kong and the British Virgin Islands. This may have an adverse impact on the ability of U.S. investors to enforce a judgment obtained in U.S. Courts against these entities, or to effect service of process on the officers and directors managing the foreign subsidiaries.
We are authorized to issue up to 4,000,000,000 shares of our common stock, par value $0.001, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001, 500,000 of which has been designated Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. 200,000 shares of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are issued and outstanding to ModuLink Inc. Our directors, TAM, Hin Wah Anthony, FU, Wah and AU-YEUNG, Sai Kit, hold 50%, 25% and 25% shareholding interests of ModuLink Inc., respectively. The voting and conversion rights of each Series A Convertible Preferred stock is 1 to 20,000. As a result, ModuLink Inc. controls the voting power of approximately 50.19% of our common stock, as calculated on a fully diluted basis, as of the date of this registration statement. Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, the aggregate balances of 1,414,027,236 shares of common stock will be issued to our directors, TAM, Hin Wah Anthony, FU, Wah and AU-YEUNG, Sai Kit. They will, in aggregate of shareholding interests through ModuLink Inc. and personally, control approximately 67.93% of the voting power of our common stock, as calculated on a fully diluted basis.
We are indebted to Zenith (Hong Kong) Engineering Limited (“Zenith (HK)”), a customer that accounted for approximately 72% of our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2024, in the approximate amount of $124,549 as of March 31, 2025. Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement dated January 22, 2025, the two convertible promissory notes were purchased and assigned to Zenith (HK) on January 30, 2025. On February 28, 2025, Zenith (HK) waived all rights to convert the outstanding principal amount and any accrued but unpaid interest under the two convertible promissory notes into equity securities of the Company. We owe approximately $124,549 pursuant to such notes. Both notes have already become due and payable. However, Zenith (HK) has indicated a willingness to work with the Company regarding repayment of such loans. We do not expect to generate sufficient cash flow to repay these notes within the next twenty-four months. There is no assurance that we can generate sufficient cash flow to repay these notes after such twenty-four-month period, if ever. If we are required to repay these notes prior to achieving profitability, our ability to implement our business plan or to expand our business may be significantly delayed.
Our sources of capital in the past have included the sale of equity securities, which include common stock sold in private transactions to our executive officers or existing shareholders, and short-term and long-term debts. We expect to finance future acquisitions through a combination of the foregoing. While we believe that existing shareholders and our officers and directors will continue to provide additional cash to make acquisitions and to meet our obligations as they become due or that we will obtain external financing, there can be no assurance that we will be able to raise such additional capital resources on satisfactory terms. Currently, we rely on funding provided by our officers and directors to support our ongoing operating activities. In light of this support, along with the continued forbearance of Zenith (HK) as previously discussed, we believe our existing cash position and other sources of liquidity are sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next 12 months. To implement our business plan, we estimate that we will require approximately $6.5 million over the next 12 months and a total of $11.5 million over the next 24 months. We are actively evaluating various financing alternatives to meet these capital requirements.

In carrying out our property development projects, we rely on third party manufacturers and partners to supply key components of our proprietary ModuLink platform, including modular steel structures and atmospheric water generators (AWGs). These systems are designed in-house and incorporate core technologies that are owned or controlled by the Company. However, the physical production of these components is currently outsourced to strategic manufacturing partners located in mainland China, that operate under strict adherence to our proprietary design specifications and quality standards.
In addition to these core manufactured components, we also source various auxiliary materials and technologies from local suppliers in the regions where projects are developed. This hybrid sourcing strategy allows us to optimize cost efficiencies, reduce logistical complexity, and support regional economies.
To mitigate geopolitical, regulatory, and operational risks, we are actively exploring opportunities to identify and engage qualified manufacturing partners outside of mainland China. Our intention is to diversify our supply chain by establishing relationships with suppliers in jurisdictions that offer competitive cost structures, manufacturing capabilities, and regulatory stability. This strategic initiative is designed to enhance our supply chain resilience while maintaining the quality and performance standards required for our proprietary technologies.
Because we are dependent on third party manufacturers to support certain aspects of our business activities, any interruption in the provision of products by these third parties whether due to supply chain disruptions, regulatory restrictions, or geopolitical developments may impair our ability to deliver properties to our clients in a timely or cost-effective manner. Please see “Risk Factors - We rely on third-party manufacturers and partners for certain aspects of our operations, and any interruptions in the provision of products provided by these third parties may impair our ability to deliver properties to our clients.”

Competitive Strength
We believe that our competitive strengths in technology-based property development are as follows:
5 |
Modular Integrated Construction (MiC):
Faster Construction Timelines: MiC is a free-standing integrated module manufactured in a factory, complete with finishes, fixtures and fittings. MiC allows for the parallel construction of building modules off-site while site preparation occurs. This method significantly reduces construction time, typically by 30-50%, enabling faster project delivery and earlier occupancy.
Cost Reduction and Quality Improvement: Off-site prefabrication in controlled factory environments minimizes material waste, reduces labor costs and enhances quality control. This approach ensures higher consistency and durability of the building components, leading to lower long-term maintenance costs.
Enhanced Safety and Sustainability: MiC reduces the need for on-site labor and minimizes exposure to adverse weather conditions, thereby reducing workplace accidents. It also lowers environmental impact through reduced waste and optimized use of materials.
Improved Project Predictability: Factory-controlled processes drastically reduce the risk of weather delays, labor shortages, and supply chain disruptions. This leads to better timeline control and more accurate budgeting—key concerns for developers and investors.
Compliance and Quality Assurance: Modules can be inspected and certified before arriving on-site, supporting compliance with strict building codes and reducing the chances of post-construction rework. This helps mitigate legal and financial risks.
Atmospheric Water Generators (AWG):
Responding to the Emergent Global Water Shortage: The world is entering a critical phase of water scarcity, exacerbated by climate change and dwindling freshwater reserves. Droughts are becoming more frequent and severe, while groundwater depletion continues at unsustainable rates. In this environment, AWGs offer a decentralized, climate-resilient alternative for producing clean water from ambient air without relying on overdrawn natural or municipal system.
Water Sustainability and Independence: AWG extract water directly from the air, providing a sustainable and decentralized water source. AWGs help reduce dependency on water supplies from municipal systems or groundwater, and mitigate the risks associated with water shortages, especially in disaster and emergency scenarios, such as earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, or wildfires, access to clean water is often disrupted or completely unavailable. AWGs can serve as a vital lifeline in these scenarios, providing on-site, potable water when infrastructure fails. Their independence from traditional supply lines makes them especially valuable for emergency response, humanitarian aid, remote communities, and climate-resilient urban planning.
Enhanced Environmental Performance: Incorporating AWG technology helps meet environmental goals by conserving natural water sources and reducing ecological impact. Particularly in drought-prone or arid regions, AWGs support responsible resource use and contribute to green building certifications and ESG performance.
Cost Savings on Water: On-site water generation reduces utility costs, especially in regions with high or volatile water prices. As climate pressures mount, centralized water becomes more expensive to treat, transport, and deliver. AWGs offer a cost-stable, scalable alternative, turning ambient humidity into a reliable resource.
6 |
Internet of Things (IoT):
Smart Property Management: IoT technologies enable real-time monitoring and control of building systems, including HVAC, lighting, and security. IoT sensors and devices can optimize energy usage, improve security, and enhance occupant comfort by automating systems based on real-time data.
Predictive Maintenance and Operational Efficiency: IoT devices provide continuous monitoring of equipment and infrastructure, allowing for predictive maintenance that can prevent costly breakdowns and extend the lifespan of building systems. This reduces operational costs and improves the reliability of property management.
Enhanced Data-Driven Decision Making: The integration of IoT technology facilitates data collection and analysis, providing valuable insights into building performance, occupant behavior, and resource utilization. This data-driven approach helps property managers make informed decisions to optimize operations and enhance the tenant experience.
Connecting People: Health, Security & Smart Living
We believe that IoT enhances not only buildings, but lives:
Health & Well-being: Indoor air quality monitors, smart climate control, and lighting systems that adapt to circadian rhythms can improve comfort, productivity, and health outcomes.
Security: Smart surveillance, facial recognition, and connected alarm systems offer real-time threat detection and response, increasing safety for residents and visitors.
Smart Home Experience: Integrated smart home features such as voice-controlled devices, intelligent appliances, and personalized automation elevate the living experience—connecting people seamlessly to their environments.
Empowering Independent Living for the Elderly
Smart properties can support aging-in-place and improve the quality of life for elderly residents:
Fall Detection & Emergency Alerts: Wearable devices and motion sensors can detect falls or unusual inactivity, triggering immediate alerts to caregivers or emergency services.
Health Monitoring: IoT-enabled health devices (e.g., heart rate, blood pressure, glucose monitors) can provide continuous data to caregivers and healthcare providers.
Reminders & Cognitive Support: Smart assistants can provide medication reminders, appointment alerts, or daily routines to support memory and independence.
Ease of Use: Voice control, one-touch emergency buttons, and automated lighting improve accessibility and reduce risks.
Future-Proofing with Scalable Smart Infrastructure: IoT infrastructure is adaptable, allowing integration with AI, robotics, and smart city systems. This prepares properties to evolve with future technologies and increasing demands for connected, and sustainable living.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND PATENTS
We expect to rely on, trade secrets, copyrights, know-how, trademarks, license agreements and contractual provisions to establish our intellectual property rights and protect our brand and services. These legal means, however, afford only limited protection and may not adequately protect our rights. Litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights, protect our trade secrets or determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. Litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention.
In addition, the laws of Hong Kong and the PRC may not protect our brand and services and intellectual property to the same extent as U.S. laws, if at all. We may be unable to fully protect our intellectual property rights in these countries.
We have registered our trademark in Australia and will register in Europe and America as a means of protecting the brand names of our companies and products. We intend to protect our trademarks against infringement and seek to register design protection where appropriate.
We rely on trade secrets and unpatentable know-how that we seek to protect, in part, by confidentiality agreements. We expect that, where applicable, we will require our employees to execute confidentiality agreements upon the commencement of employment with us. We expect these agreements to provide that all confidential information developed or made known to the individual during the course of the individual's relationship with us is to be kept confidential and not disclosed to third parties except in specific limited circumstances. The agreements will also provide that all inventions conceived by the individual while rendering services to us shall be assigned to us as the exclusive property of our company. There can be no assurance, however, that all persons who we desire to sign such agreements will sign, or if they do, that these agreements will not be breached, that we would have adequate remedies for any breach, or that our trade secrets or unpatentable know-how will not otherwise become known or be independently developed by competitors.
COMPETITION
We operate in a highly competitive market that is evolving very quickly with rapid developments. We face competition in the home building industry, which is characterized by relatively low barriers to entry. Homebuilders compete for, among other things, home buying customers, desirable land parcels, financing, raw materials, and skilled labor. Increased competition may prevent us from acquiring attractive land parcels on which to build homes, apartments, townhomes, condominiums, or deliver finished lots, or make such acquisitions more expensive, hinder our market share expansion, or lead to pressures that may adversely impact on our margins and revenues. Competitors may independently develop land and construct housing units that are superior or substantially similar to our products and because they are or may be significantly larger, have a longer operating history, and have greater resources or lower cost of capital than us, may be able to compete more effectively in one or more of the markets in which we operate or plan to operate. We also compete with other homebuilders that have longer-standing relationships with subcontractors and suppliers in the markets in which we operate or plan to operate.
The building construction industry is highly fragmented while the direct competitors in the MiC technology market in which we focus in are in the early phase of development across America, Europe, Australia and Asia except Greater China. However, we believe in modular construction technology by leveraging Modular Integrated Construction (MiC), Atmospheric Water Generators (AWG), and Internet of Things (IoT) technology enhanced by AI would redefine property development. The principal competitive factors in our market include the following:
· | Rising Demand for Sustainable and Eco-Friendly Buildings | |
· | Urbanization and the Need for Affordable Housing | |
· | Advancements in Smart Technology and IoT Adoption | |
· | Water Scarcity and the Need for Sustainable Water Solutions | |
· | Efficiency and Cost-Effectiveness of Modular Construction (MiC) | |
· | Increasing Focus on Health and Wellness in Building Design | |
· | Technological Advancements and Reduced Costs of IoT and AWG | |
· | Increased Investment in Smart City Initiatives | |
· | Growing Popularity of Resilient and Disaster-Proof Infrastructure |
15 |
Although we believe we compete favorably on the factors described above, we anticipate that larger, more established companies may directly compete with us as we continue to demonstrate the viability of a local one-stop solution provider. Many of our current and potential competitors have longer operating histories, significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources, larger product and services offerings, larger customer base and greater brand recognition. These factors may allow our competitors to benefit from their existing customer or subscriber base with lower acquisition costs or to respond more quickly than we can to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements. These competitors may engage in more extensive research and development efforts, undertake more far-reaching marketing campaigns and adopt more aggressive pricing policies, which may allow them to build a larger customer base or to monetize that base more effectively than us. Our competitors may develop products or services that are similar to our products and services or that achieve greater market acceptance than our products and services.
EMPLOYEES AND CONSULTANTS
We are currently operating with 3 executive directors and 2 non-executive directors, 3 employees in Hong Kong and 7 expertise consultants in engineering and project development in Hong Kong, Australia, Canada and Europe.
We have the following employees and consultants located in Hong Kong, Australia, Canada, Europe as set forth below:
Executive officers | 1 | |||
Operational Management | 1 | |||
Business Development | 8 | |||
Total | 10 |
We are required to contribute to the Mandatory Provident Fund (“MPF”) for all eligible employees in Hong Kong between the ages of eighteen and sixty-five. We are required to contribute a specified percentage of the participant’s income based on their ages and wage level. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the MPF contributions by us were $353 and $nil, respectively. We have not experienced any significant labor disputes or any difficulties in recruiting staff for our operations.
GOVERNMENT AND INDUSTRY REGULATIONS
International Endeavors Corporation is a Nevada corporation with operating businesses located in Hong Kong and extending to our target markets in America, Europe, Australia and Asia. As such, the parent holding company, International Endeavors Corporation is subject to the laws and regulations of the United States of America while our operating businesses are subject to the laws and regulations of Hong Kong and our target markets, as applicable, including labor, occupational safety and health, contracts, tort and intellectual property laws.
While Hong Kong currently operates under a different set of laws from mainland China, there remains a risk that PRC government could reinterpret or apply all or certain PRC laws to Hong Kong-based companies. Should this occur, our operations may become subject to additional legal and regulatory requirements under PRC law, including those related to labor, occupational safety and health, contracts, tort, and intellectual property. We may also become subject to PRC foreign exchange controls, which could affect our ability to convert foreign currency into Renminbi, pursue acquisitions of PRC companies, establish or maintain variable interest entities (VIEs) in the PRC, or repatriate dividends or other payments from any future wholly foreign-owned enterprises (WFOEs) in the PRC. Although no such changes have been imposed to date, any shift in the regulatory landscape could introduce uncertainties for our business and future plans.

Building Services Regulations
We are subject to numerous local, state, federal, and other statutes, ordinances, rules, and regulations concerning zoning, development, building design, construction, and similar matters which impose restrictive zoning and density requirements in order to limit the number of homes that can eventually be built within the boundaries of a particular area. Projects that are not entitled may be subject to periodic delays, changes in use, less intensive development, or elimination of development in certain specific areas due to government regulations. We may also be subject to periodic delays or may be precluded entirely from developing in certain communities due to building moratoriums or “slow-growth” or “no-growth” initiatives that could be implemented in the future. Local and state governments also have broad discretion regarding the imposition of development fees for projects in their jurisdiction. Projects for which we have received land use and development entitlements or approvals may still require a variety of other governmental approvals and permits during the development process and can also be impacted adversely by unforeseen health, safety, and welfare issues, which can further delay these projects or prevent their development.
We are also subject to a variety of local, state, federal, and other statutes, ordinances, rules, and regulations concerning the environment. The particular environmental laws which apply to any given construction site vary according to the site’s location, its environmental conditions, and the present and former uses of the site, as well as adjoining properties. Environmental laws and conditions may result in delays, may cause us to incur substantial compliance and other costs, and can prohibit or severely restrict homebuilding activity in environmentally sensitive regions or areas. From time to time, the Environmental Protection Agency (the “EPA”) and similar federal or state agencies review homebuilders’ compliance with environmental laws and may levy fines and penalties for failure to strictly comply with applicable environmental laws or impose additional requirements for future compliance as a result of past failures. Any such actions imposed on us may increase our costs. Environmental regulations can also have an adverse impact on the availability and price of certain raw materials such as lumber.
Under various environmental laws, current or former owners of real estate, as well as certain other categories of parties, may be required to investigate and remediate hazardous or toxic substances or petroleum product releases and may be held liable to a governmental entity or to third parties for property damage and for investigation and remediation costs incurred by such parties in connection with the contamination. In addition, in those cases where an endangered species is involved, environmental rules and regulations can result in the elimination of development in identified environmentally sensitive areas. To date, we have never experienced a significant environmental issue.
Employment Ordinance
Hong Kong
The Employment Ordinance is the main piece of legislation governing conditions of employment in Hong Kong since 1968. It covers a comprehensive range of employment protection and benefits for employees, including Wage Protection, Rest Days, Holidays with Pay, Paid Annual Leave, Sickness Allowance, Maternity Protection, Statutory Paternity Leave, Severance Payment, Long Service Payment, Employment Protection, Termination of Employment Contract, Protection Against Anti-Union Discrimination. In addition, every employer must take out employees’ compensation insurance to protect the claims made by employees in respect of accidents occurred during the course of their employment.
An employer must also comply with all legal obligations under the Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Ordinance, (CAP485). These include enrolling all qualifying employees in MPF schemes and making MPF contributions for them. Except for exempt persons, employer should enroll both full-time and part-time employees who are at least 18 but under 65 years of age in an MPF scheme within the first 60 days of employment. The 60-day employment rule does not apply to casual employees in the construction and catering industries. Pursuant to the said Ordinance, we are required to make MPF contributions for our Hong Kong employees once every contribution period (generally the wage period within 1 month). Employers and employees are each required to make regular mandatory contributions of 5% of the employee’s relevant income to an MPF scheme, subject to the minimum and maximum relevant income levels. For a monthly-paid employee, the minimum and maximum relevant income levels are HKD7,100 and HKD30,000 respectively.
17 |
China
Depending on future regulatory developments, we may become subject to PRC laws applicable to businesses in general, including those related to labor, occupational safety, contracts, torts, and intellectual property. We may also face restrictions under PRC foreign exchange regulations, which could limit our ability to convert foreign currency into Renminbi, acquire mainland entities, or make dividend or other payments of cash to IDVV.
Regulations in the PRC
Currently, our group does not have any subsidiaries or operations in the PRC. However, in the event that we establish PRC-based subsidiaries, expand our operations to the PRC, or become otherwise subject to PRC regulations due to China’s future regulatory developments, we may become subject to various laws and regulations that generally apply to our PRC businesses.
PRC Tax Regulations
Enterprise Income Tax
The EIT Law was promulgated by the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress on March 16, 2007 and became effective on January 1, 2008, and was later amended on February 24, 2017. The Implementation Rules of the EIT Law (the “Implementation Rules”) were promulgated by the State Council on December 6, 2007 and became effective on January 1, 2008. According to the EIT Law and the Implementation Rules, enterprises are divided into resident enterprises and non-resident enterprises. Resident enterprises shall pay enterprise income tax on their incomes obtained in and outside the PRC at the rate of 25%. Non-resident enterprises setting up institutions in the PRC shall pay enterprise income tax on the incomes obtained by such institutions in and outside the PRC at the rate of 25%. Non-resident enterprises with no institutions in the PRC, and non-resident enterprises whose incomes having no substantial connection with their institutions in the PRC, shall pay enterprise income tax on their incomes obtained in the PRC at a reduced rate of 10%.
The Arrangement between the PRC and Hong Kong Special Administrative Region for the Avoidance of Double Taxation the Prevention of Fiscal Evasion with respect to Taxes on Income (the “Arrangement”) was promulgated by the State Administration of Taxation (“SAT”) on August 21, 2006 and came into effect on December 8, 2006. According to the Arrangement, a company incorporated in Hong Kong will be subject to withholding tax at the lower rate of 5% on dividends it receives from a company incorporated in the PRC if it holds a 25% interest or more in the PRC company. The Notice on the Understanding and Identification of the Beneficial Owners in the Tax Treaty (the “Notice”) was promulgated by SAT and became effective on October 27, 2009. According to the Notice, a beneficial ownership analysis will be used based on a substance-over-form principle to determine whether or not to grant tax treaty benefits.
In April 2009, the Ministry of Finance, or MOF, and SAT jointly issued the Notice on Issues Concerning Process of Enterprise Income Tax in Enterprise Restructuring Business, or Circular 59. In December 2009, SAT issued the Notice on Strengthening Administration of Enterprise Income Tax for Share Transfers by Non-PRC Resident Enterprises, or Circular 698. Both Circular 59 and Circular 698 became effective retroactively as of January 2008. In February 2011, SAT issued the Notice on Several Issues Regarding the Income Tax of Non-PRC Resident Enterprises, or SAT Circular 24, effective April 2011. By promulgating and implementing these circulars, the PRC tax authorities have enhanced their scrutiny over the direct or indirect transfer of equity interests in a PRC resident enterprise by a non-resident enterprise.
Under Circular 698, where a non-resident enterprise conducts an “indirect transfer” by transferring the equity interests of a PRC “resident enterprise” indirectly by disposing of the equity interests of an overseas holding company, the non-resident enterprise, being the transferor, may be subject to PRC enterprise income tax, if the indirect transfer is considered to be an abusive use of company structure without reasonable commercial purposes. As a result, gains derived from such indirect transfer may be subject to PRC tax at a rate of up to 10%. Circular 698 also provides that, where a non-PRC resident enterprise transfers its equity interests in a PRC resident enterprise to its related parties at a price lower than the fair market value, the relevant tax authority has the power to make a reasonable adjustment to the taxable income of the transaction.
18 |
In February 2015, the SAT issued Circular 7 to replace the rules relating to indirect transfers in Circular 698. Circular 7 has introduced a new tax regime that is significantly different from that under Circular 698. Circular 7 extends its tax jurisdiction to not only indirect transfers set forth under Circular 698 but also transactions involving transfer of other taxable assets, through the offshore transfer of a foreign intermediate holding company. In addition, Circular 7 provides clearer criteria than Circular 698 on how to assess reasonable commercial purposes and has introduced safe harbors for internal group restructurings and the purchase and sale of equity through a public securities market. Circular 7 also brings challenges to both the foreign transferor and transferee (or other person who is obligated to pay for the transfer) of the taxable assets. Where a non-resident enterprise conducts an “indirect transfer” by transferring the taxable assets indirectly by disposing of the equity interests of an overseas holding company, the non-resident enterprise being the transferor, or the transferee, or the PRC entity which directly owned the taxable assets may report to the relevant tax authority such indirect transfer. Using a “substance over form” principle, the PRC tax authority may disregard the existence of the overseas holding company if it lacks a reasonable commercial purpose and was established for the purpose of reducing, avoiding or deferring PRC tax. As a result, gains derived from such indirect transfer may be subject to PRC enterprise income tax, and the transferee or other person who is obligated to pay for the transfer is obligated to withhold the applicable taxes, currently at a rate of 10% for the transfer of equity interests in a PRC resident enterprise.
On October 17, 2017, the SAT issued a Notice Concerning Withholding Income Tax of Non-Resident Enterprise, or SAT Notice No. 37, which abolishes Circular 698 and certain provisions of Circular 7. SAT Notice No. 37 reduces the burden of the withholding obligator, such as revocation of contract filing requirements and tax liquidation procedures, strengthens the cooperation of tax authorities in different places, and clarifies the calculation of tax payable and mechanism of foreign exchange.
Value-added Tax
Pursuant to the Provisional Regulations on Value-added Tax of the PRC, or the VAT Regulations, which were promulgated by the State Council on December 13, 1993, took effect on January 1, 1994, and were amended on November 10, 2008, February 6, 2016, and November 19, 2017, respectively, and the Rules for the Implementation of the Provisional Regulations on Value-added Tax of the PRC, which were promulgated by the MOF on December 25, 1993, and were amended on December 15, 2008, and October 28, 2011, respectively, entities and individuals that sell goods or labor services of processing, repair or replacement, sell services, intangible assets, or immovables, or import goods within the territory of the People’s Republic of China are taxpayers of value-added tax. The VAT rate is 17% for taxpayers selling goods, labor services, or tangible movable property leasing services or importing goods, except otherwise specified; 11% for taxpayers selling services of transportation, postal, basic telecommunications, construction and lease of immovable, selling immovable, transferring land use rights, selling and importing other specified goods including fertilizers; 6% for taxpayers selling services or intangible assets.
According to the Notice on the Adjustment to the Value-added Tax Rates issued by the SAT and the MOF on April 4, 2018, where taxpayers make VAT taxable sales or import goods, the applicable tax rates shall be adjusted from 17% to 16% and from 11% to 10%, respectively. Subsequently, the Notice on Policies for Deepening Reform of Value-added Tax was issued by the SAT, the MOF and the General Administration of Customs on March 30, 2019 and took effective on April 1, 2019, which further adjusted the applicable tax rate for taxpayers making VAT taxable sales or importing goods. The applicable tax rates shall be adjusted from 16% to 13% and from 10% to 9%, respectively.
Dividend Withholding Tax
The Enterprise Income Tax Law provides that since January 1, 2008, an income tax rate of 10% will normally be applicable to dividends declared to non-PRC resident investors that do not have an establishment or place of business in the PRC, or that have such establishment or place of business but the relevant income is not effectively connected with the establishment or place of business, to the extent such dividends are derived from sources within the PRC.

PRC Laws and Regulations on Employment and Social Welfare
Labor Law of the PRC
Pursuant to the Labor Law of the PRC, which was promulgated by the Standing Committee of the NPC on July 5, 1994 with an effective date of January 1, 1995 and was last amended on August 27, 2009 and the Labor Contract Law of the PRC, which was promulgated on June 29, 2007, became effective on January 1, 2008 and was last amended on December 28, 2012, with the amendments coming into effect on July 1, 2013, enterprises and institutions shall ensure the safety and hygiene of a workplace, strictly comply with applicable rules and standards on workplace safety and hygiene in China, and educate employees on such rules and standards. Furthermore, employers and employees shall enter into written employment contracts to establish their employment relationships. Employers are required to inform their employees about their job responsibilities, working conditions, occupational hazards, remuneration and other matters with which the employees may be concerned. Employers shall pay remuneration to employees on time and in full accordance with the commitments set forth in their employment contracts and with the relevant PRC laws and regulations. Our Hong Kong subsidiary currently does not comply with PRC laws and regulations, but complies with Hong Kong laws and regulations.
Social Insurance and Housing Fund
Pursuant to the Social Insurance Law of the PRC, which was promulgated by the Standing Committee of the NPC on October 28, 2010 and became effective on July 1, 2011, employers in the PRC shall provide their employees with welfare schemes covering basic pension insurance, basic medical insurance, unemployment insurance, maternity insurance, and occupational injury insurance. Our Hong Kong subsidiary has not deposited the social insurance fees in full for all the employees in compliance with the relevant regulations. We may be ordered by the social security premium collection agency to make or supplement contributions within a stipulated period, and shall be subject to a late payment fine computed from the due date at the rate of 0.05% per day; where payment is not made within the stipulated period, the relevant administrative authorities shall impose a fine ranging from one to three times the amount of the amount in arrears. Our Hong Kong subsidiary has not deposited the social insurance fees as required by relevant regulations.
In accordance with the Regulations on Management of Housing Provident Fund, which were promulgated by the State Council on April 3, 1999 and last amended on March 24, 2002, employers must register at the designated administrative centers and open bank accounts for depositing employees’ housing funds. Employers and employees are also required to pay and deposit housing funds, with an amount no less than 5% of the monthly average salary of the employee in the preceding year in full and on time. Our subsidiaries have not registered at the designated administrative centers nor opened bank accounts for depositing employees’ housing funds. They also have not deposited employees’ housing funds. Our subsidiaries may be ordered by the housing provident fund management center to complete the registration formalities, open bank accounts, make the payment and deposit within a prescribed time limit if they become subject to PRC laws. Failing to register or open bank accounts at the expiration of the time limit could result in fines of not less than RMB 10,000 nor more than RMB 50,000. And an application may be made to a people’s court for compulsory enforcement if payment and deposit has not been made after the expiration of the time limit.
PRC Regulations Relating to Foreign Exchange
General Administration of Foreign Exchange
The principal regulation governing foreign currency exchange in the PRC is the Administrative Regulations of the PRC on Foreign Exchange (the “Foreign Exchange Regulations”), which were promulgated on January 29, 1996, became effective on April 1, 1996 and were last amended on August 5, 2008. Under these rules, Renminbi is generally freely convertible for payments of current account items, such as trade- and service-related foreign exchange transactions and dividend payments, but not freely convertible for capital account items, such as capital transfer, direct investment, investment in securities, derivative products or loans unless prior approval by competent authorities for the administration of foreign exchange is obtained. Under the Foreign Exchange Regulations, foreign-invested enterprises in the PRC may purchase foreign exchange without the approval of SAFE to pay dividends by providing certain evidentiary documents, including board resolutions, tax certificates, or for trade- and services-related foreign exchange transactions, by providing commercial documents evidencing such transactions.
20 |
Circular No. 37 and Circular No. 13
Circular 37 was released by SAFE on July 4, 2014 and abolished Circular 75 which had been in effect since November 1, 2005. Pursuant to Circular 37, a PRC resident should apply to SAFE for foreign exchange registration of overseas investments before it makes any capital contribution to a special purpose vehicle, or SPV, using his or her legitimate domestic or offshore assets or interests. SPVs are offshore enterprises directly established or indirectly controlled by domestic residents for the purpose of investment and financing by utilizing domestic or offshore assets or interests they legally hold. Following any significant change in a registered offshore SPV, such as capital increase, reduction, equity transfer or swap, consolidation or division involving domestic resident individuals, the domestic individuals shall amend the registration with SAFE. Where an SPV intends to repatriate funds raised after completion of offshore financing to the PRC, it shall comply with relevant PRC regulations on foreign investment and foreign debt management. A foreign-invested enterprise established through return investment shall complete relevant foreign exchange registration formalities in accordance with the prevailing foreign exchange administration regulations on foreign direct investment and truthfully disclose information on the actual controller of its shareholders.
If any shareholder who is a PRC resident (as determined by the Circular No. 37) holds any interest in an offshore SPV and fails to fulfil the required foreign exchange registration with the local SAFE branches, the PRC subsidiaries of that offshore SPV may be prohibited from distributing their profits and dividends to their offshore parent company or from carrying out other subsequent cross-border foreign exchange activities. The offshore SPV may also be restricted in its ability to contribute additional capital to its PRC subsidiaries. Where a domestic resident fails to complete relevant foreign exchange registration as required, fails to truthfully disclose information on the actual controller of the enterprise involved in the return investment or otherwise makes false statements, the foreign exchange control authority may order them to take remedial actions, issue a warning, and impose a fine of less than RMB 300,000 on an institution or less than RMB 50,000 on an individual.
Circular 13 was issued by SAFE on February 13, 2015, and became effective on June 1, 2015. Pursuant to Circular 13, a domestic resident who makes a capital contribution to an SPV using his or her legitimate domestic or offshore assets or interests is no longer required to apply to SAFE for foreign exchange registration of his or her overseas investments. Instead, he or she shall register with a bank in the place where the assets or interests of the domestic enterprise in which he or she has interests are located if the domestic resident individually seeks to make a capital contribution to the SPV using his or her legitimate domestic assets or interests; or he or she shall register with a local bank at his or her permanent residence if the domestic resident individually seeks to make a capital contribution to the SPV using his or her legitimate offshore assets or interests.
We cannot assure that our PRC beneficial shareholders have completed registrations in accordance with Circular 37.
Circular 19 and Circular 16
Circular 19 was promulgated by SAFE on March 30, 2015, and became effective on June 1, 2015. According to Circular 19, the foreign exchange capital in the capital account of foreign-invested enterprises, meaning the monetary contribution confirmed by the foreign exchange authorities or the monetary contribution registered for account entry through banks, shall be granted the benefits of Discretional Foreign Exchange Settlement (“Discretional Foreign Exchange Settlement”). With Discretional Foreign Exchange Settlement, foreign capital in the capital account of a foreign-invested enterprise for which the rights and interests of monetary contribution have been confirmed by the local foreign exchange bureau, or for which book-entry registration of monetary contribution has been completed by the bank, can be settled at the bank based on the actual operational needs of the foreign-invested enterprise. The allowed Discretional Foreign Exchange Settlement percentage of the foreign capital of a foreign-invested enterprise has been temporarily set to be 100%. The Renminbi converted from the foreign capital will be kept in a designated account and if a foreign-invested enterprise needs to make any further payment from such account, it will still need to provide supporting documents and to complete the review process with its bank.
21 |
Furthermore, Circular 19 stipulates that foreign-invested enterprises shall make bona fide use of their capital for their own needs within their business scopes. The capital of a foreign-invested enterprise and the Renminbi it obtained from foreign exchange settlement shall not be used for the following purposes:
· | directly or indirectly used for expenses beyond its business scope or prohibited by relevant laws or regulations; | |
· | directly or indirectly used for investment in securities unless otherwise provided by relevant laws or regulations; | |
· | directly or indirectly used for entrusted loan in Renminbi (unless within its permitted scope of business), repayment of inter-company loans (including advances by a third party) or repayment of bank loans in Renminbi that have been sub-lent to a third party; or | |
· | directly or indirectly used for expenses related to the purchase of real estate that is not for self-use (except for foreign-invested real estate enterprises). |
Circular 16 was issued by SAFE on June 9, 2016. Pursuant to Circular 16, enterprises registered in the PRC may also convert their foreign debts from foreign currency to Renminbi on a self-discretionary basis. Circular 16 provides an integrated standard for conversion of foreign exchange capital items (including but not limited to foreign currency capital and foreign debts) on a self-discretionary basis applicable to all enterprises registered in the PRC. Circular 16 reiterates the principle that an enterprise’s Renminbi capital converted from foreign currency-denominated capital may not be directly or indirectly used for purposes beyond its business scope or purposes prohibited by PRC laws or regulations, and such converted Renminbi capital shall not be provided as loans to non-affiliated entities.
PRC subsidiaries' distributions to their offshore parents are required to comply with the requirements as described above.
While there are currently no such restrictions on foreign exchange and our ability to transfer cash or assets between IDVV and our Hong Kong subsidiaries, there can be no assurance that future developments in PRC laws and regulations will not result in new restrictions and limitations on our ability to transfer funds or assets. Should such regulations affect our operations, our cash or assets in Hong Kong might become inaccessible. Furthermore, should new restrictions be imposed on IDVV or its subsidiaries regarding the transfer or distribution of cash within the organization, we may encounter limitations or prohibition on making transfers or distributions to entities outside of mainland China and Hong Kong.
PRC Share Option Rules
Under the Administration Measures on Individual Foreign Exchange Control issued by the PBOC on December 25, 2006, all foreign exchange matters involved in employee share ownership plans and share option plans in which PRC citizens participate require approval from SAFE or its authorized branch. Pursuant to SAFE Circular 37, PRC residents who participate in share incentive plans in overseas non-publicly-listed companies may submit applications to SAFE or its local branches for the foreign exchange registration with respect to offshore special purpose companies. In addition, under the Notices on Issues concerning the Foreign Exchange Administration for Domestic Individuals Participating in Share Incentive Plans of Overseas Publicly-Listed Companies, or the Share Option Rules, issued by SAFE on February 15, 2012, PRC residents who are granted shares or share options by companies listed on overseas stock exchanges under share incentive plans are required to (i) register with SAFE or its local branches, (ii) retain a qualified PRC agent, which may be a PRC subsidiary of the overseas listed company or another qualified institution selected by the PRC subsidiary, to conduct the SAFE registration and other procedures with respect to the share incentive plans on behalf of the participants, and (iii) retain an overseas institution to handle matters in connection with their exercise of share options, purchase and sale of shares or interests and funds transfers.

PRC Regulation of Dividend Distributions
The principal laws, rules and regulations governing dividend distributions by foreign-invested enterprises in the PRC are the Company Law of the PRC, as amended, the Wholly Foreign-owned Enterprise Law and its implementation regulations, the Chinese-foreign Cooperative Joint Venture Law and its implementation regulations, and the Chinese-foreign Equity Joint Venture Law and its implementation regulations. Under these laws, rules and regulations, foreign-invested enterprises may pay dividends only out of their accumulated profit, if any, as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. Both PRC domestic companies and wholly-foreign owned PRC enterprises are required to set aside a general reserve of at least 10% of their after-tax profit, until the cumulative amount of such reserve reaches 50% of their registered capital. A PRC company is not permitted to distribute any profits until any losses from prior fiscal years have been offset. Profits retained from prior fiscal years may be distributed together with distributable profits from the current fiscal year.
REPORTS TO SECURITY HOLDERS
Upon the effective date of this Registration Statement, we will become subject to the informational requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and accordingly, will file current and periodic reports, proxy statements and other information with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the Commission. Information that the Company previously publicly disclosed was made through the OTC Disclosure and News Service and are available on the OTC Markets Group’s website at www.otcmarkets.com. With respect to disclosures filed or furnished to the Commission, you may obtain copies of our prior and future reports from the Commission’s Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549, or on the SEC's website, at www.sec.gov. You may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330.
Item 1A. | Risk Factors |
The following information sets forth risk factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements we have made in this registration statement and those we may make from time to time. You should carefully consider the risks described below, in addition to the other information contained in this registration statement, before making an investment decision. Our business, financial condition or results of operations could be harmed by any of these risks. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks not presently known to us or other factors not perceived by us to present significant risks to our business at this time also may impair our business operations.
Risks Related to Our Business and Industry
We have not yet begun generating significant revenue as our business of building properties through the use of modular integrated construction technology (“MiC”), embedded with atmospheric water generators (“AWG”), together with a property management system powered by internet of things technology (“IoT”), is at a development stage that is dependent upon the financial support of our stockholders to finance our operations. Further, our financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. As such, we are dependent upon the continued support of our insiders to continue operations.
We have not yet begun generating significant revenues and are dependent upon the continued support of our majority shareholders to continue operations. Our financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. Our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon improving our profitability and the continuing financial support from our stockholders. If our assumption regarding profitability or the continued support of our stockholders is not valid, we may not be able to pursue our business plan or continue operations as planned, which may materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Further, the value of your securities may be significantly and adversely affected or become worthless.
23 |
We have substantial customer concentration, with two customers accounting for all of our 2024 revenues.
We currently derive all of our revenues from two customers, Zenith (HK) Engineering Limited and an individual based in Hong Kong, each of which accounted 72% and 28%, respectively of our revenues in fiscal 2024. In fiscal 2023, the same individual accounted for all of our revenues. There are inherent risks whenever a large percentage of total revenues are concentrated with a limited number of customers. It is not possible for us to predict the future level of demand for our services that will be generated by these customers or the future demand for the products and services of these customers in the end-user marketplace. In addition, revenues from two customers, may fluctuate from time to time based on the commencement and completion of projects, the timing of which may be affected by market conditions or other facts, some of which may be outside of our control. Further, some of our contracts with these larger customers permit them to terminate our services at any time (subject to notice and certain other provisions). If any of these customers experience declining or delayed sales due to market, economic or competitive conditions, we could be pressured to reduce the prices we charge for our services which could have an adverse effect on our margins and financial position, and could negatively affect our revenues and results of operations and/or trading price of our common stock. We are not parties to long term contracts with these two customers. If either of these two customers terminates our services, such termination will materially and significantly affect our revenues and results of operations and/or trading price of our common stock.
We cannot assure you that our current business plan will be successful as initiation of our property development projects require significant upfront financing.
We cannot guarantee the success of our current business strategy. The initiation of our property development projects is heavily reliant on securing adequate funding to cover the upfront costs of land acquisition and procuring modular integrated units from manufacturers. While these initial investments are dependent on secured funding, the ongoing construction expenses are expected to be financed through pre-sale deposits. However, the timing and revenue generated from property sales remain challenging to forecast, as they are influenced by market conditions and other external factors. Our business plan is subject to modifications over time, driven by fluctuations in real estate market dynamics, economic trends, the availability and cost of capital, and potential changes in legislation.
We are susceptible to consumer demand risk.
Adverse conditions in our target markets or nationally could be caused or worsened by factors outside of our control, including slow or negative economic growth, sustained elevated mortgage interest rates and inflation, and various other macroeconomic as well as geopolitical concerns, such as military conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, and the U.S. federal government’s financial and regulatory stability with the recent significant increase in import tariffs. Among other impacts, a severe or sustained economic contraction or stagflation around the globe may trigger a rise in home sales contract cancellations. In addition, these conditions, along with heightened competition from other homebuilders and sellers and landlords of existing homes may lead us to reduce our home selling prices or offer other concessions to attract or retain buyers, negatively affecting our revenues and margins and, to the extent the concessions we offer are not sufficient to attract and retain buyers, our net orders.
We are not parties to long term contracts with our clients and operate on a project by project basis. As a result, historical results of operations are not indicative of our future performance or prospects.
Our construction services and property development projects are unique and project-specific, and we are engaged on a project by project basis. Customers are not parties to on-going contracts and there is no assurance that the Company can retain customers. For these reasons, we believe that our results of operations during the periods presented in this prospectus are not comparable. Moreover, the historical financial information included in this prospectus may not be indicative of our future performance or prospects. There can be no assurance that we will be able to achieve similar growth trend of our business in our home markets and/or the international markets where the business, regulatory and customer landscapes may differ significantly from Hong Kong. As such, our past historical results of operations may not be indicative of our future performance or prospects.
24 |
We rely on third-party manufacturers and partners for critical components, and any interruptions in the provision of products provided by these third parties may impair our ability to deliver properties to our clients.
We depend on third-party providers for various critical components of our property development projects, such as the manufacturing of modular integrated units and our proprietary atmospheric water generators. These elements are fundamental to our deliverables, and reliance on third parties exposes us to elevated operational risks. As we do not oversee the manufacturing processes of these external providers, there is a possibility that they may fail to supply the required modular integrated units to the expected standards or encounter unforeseen challenges. In such scenarios, securing suitable alternatives promptly, efficiently, and under favorable terms could prove challenging or even impossible. This could result in disruptions to our operations, financial losses, costs associated with addressing deficiencies, diminished customer satisfaction, damage to our reputation, legal or regulatory liabilities, or other adverse effects that may significantly impact our business.
We may face construction services shortages which may adversely affect our ability to deliver modular units.
Though our critical components modular integrated units are manufacturing in the factory, we rely on a network of local workers to perform limited installation and interfacing services. However, our industry and the Hong Kong and Australian economies have experienced labor shortages, as well as delays with respect to state and municipal construction permitting, inspections and utility processes. Such constraints, cost pressures and delays have increased our costs, reduced our revenues, and in some instances, led to home sales contract cancellations or lower customer satisfaction.
We are subject to warranty risks.
Our property development business is subject to warranty and construction defect claims. Due to our dependence on the performance of independent third party manufacturers and contractors to provide products and materials and carry out certain homebuilding activities, inherent uncertainties, including obtaining recoveries from responsible parties and/or their or our insurers, our recorded warranty and other liabilities may be inadequate to address future claims, which, among other things, could require us to record charges to increase such liabilities. We may also record charges to reflect our then-current claims experience, including the actual costs incurred. Home warranty and other construction defect issues may also generate negative publicity, including on social media and the internet, that detracts from our reputation and efforts to sell homes.
We are subject to legal and compliance risks.
Our operations are subject to myriad legal and regulatory requirements, which can delay our operational activities, raise our costs and/or prohibit or restrict homebuilding in some areas. These requirements often provide broad discretion to government authorities, and they could be interpreted or revised in ways unfavorable to us. The costs to comply, or associated with any noncompliance, are, or can be, significant and variable from period to period. With respect to environmental laws, in addition to the risks and potential operational costs discussed above, we have been, and we may in the future be, involved in federal, state and local air and water quality agency investigations or proceedings for potential noncompliance with their rules, including rules governing discharges of materials into the air and waterways; stormwater discharges from community sites; and wetlands and listed species habitat protection. We could incur penalties and/or be restricted from developing or building at certain community locations during or as a result of such agencies’ investigations or findings.
Additionally, we are involved in legal, arbitral or regulatory proceedings or investigations incidental to our business, the outcome or settlement of which could result in material claims, losses, monetary damage awards, penalties, or other direct or indirect payments recorded against our earnings, or injunctions, consent decrees or other voluntary or involuntary restrictions or adjustments to our business operations or practices. Any adverse results could be beyond our expectations, insurance coverage and/or accruals at particular points in time. Unfavorable outcomes, as well as unfavorable investor, analyst or news reports related to our industry, company, personnel, governance or operations, may also generate negative publicity, including on social media and the internet, damaging our reputation and resulting in the loss of customers or revenues. We may also face similar reputational impacts if our sustainability initiatives or objectives and/or our social or governance practices do not meet the standards set by investors or third-party rating services. Low third-party ratings could result in our common stock not being recommended for or selected by investors with certain mandates or priorities.
25 |
If we are unable to protect the confidentiality of our trade secrets, our business and competitive position would be harmed.
We may rely on trade secrets, including unpatented know-how, technology and other proprietary information, to maintain our competitive position. However, trade secrets are difficult to protect. We limit disclosure of such trade secrets where possible but we also seek to protect these trade secrets, in part, by entering into non-disclosure and confidentiality agreements with parties who do have access to them, such as our employees, contract manufacturers, consultants, advisors and other third parties. Despite these efforts, any of these parties may breach the agreements and may unintentionally or willfully disclose our proprietary information, including our trade secrets, and we may not be able to obtain adequate remedies for such breaches. Enforcing a claim that a party illegally disclosed or misappropriated a trade secret is difficult, expensive and time-consuming, and the outcome is unpredictable. In addition, some courts inside and outside the United States are less willing or unwilling to protect trade secrets. Moreover, if any of our trade secrets were to be lawfully obtained or independently developed by a competitor, we would have no right to prevent them, or those to whom they communicate it, from using that technology or information to compete with us. If any of our trade secrets were to be disclosed to or independently developed by a competitor, our competitive position would be harmed.
We are also subject to other risks and uncertainties that affect many other businesses, including:
· | increasing costs, the volatility of costs and funding requirements and other legal mandates for employee benefits, especially pension and healthcare benefits; | |
· | the increasing costs of compliance with federal, state and foreign governmental agency mandates (including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act) and defending against inappropriate or unjustified enforcement or other actions by such agencies; | |
· | the impact of any international conflicts on the U.S. and global economies in general, the transportation industry or us in particular, and what effects these events will have on our costs or the demand for our products; | |
· | any impacts on our business resulting from new domestic or international government laws and regulation; | |
· | market acceptance of our products and growth initiatives; | |
· | the impact of technology developments on our products and on demand for our products; | |
· | governmental under-investment in transportation infrastructure, which could increase our costs and adversely impact our construction schedule due to traffic congestion or sub-optimal routing of our vehicles; | |
· | widespread outbreak of an illness or any other communicable disease, or any other public health crisis; | |
· | availability of financing on terms acceptable to our ability to maintain our current credit ratings, especially given the capital intensity of our operations. | |
· | our ability to attract, maintain, and grow our customer base and engage our customers; | |
· | pricing for our products and services; | |
· | our ability to diversify and grow our revenue; | |
· | changes in macroeconomic conditions, political and legal environments; | |
· | adverse legal proceedings or regulatory enforcement actions, judgments, settlements, or other legal proceeding and enforcement-related costs; | |
· | our ability to attract and retain talent; and | |
· | our ability to compete with our competitors. |

Risks Related to Our Finances and Capital Requirements
We will need additional funding and may be unable to raise capital when needed, which would force us to delay any property development projects or land parcels acquisitions.
Our business plan contemplates the commencement of property development projects in Australia, and, as business permits, in Canada and Europe. With respect to property developments located outside of Hong Kong, we will need to seek financing to purchase of land parcels in these targeted regions. While we currently have no commitments or agreements relating to any of these types of transactions, we do not generate sufficient revenue from operations to finance new projects in our target markets. We expect to finance such future cash needs through public or private equity offerings, debt financings, corporate collaboration arrangements, or project financing from financial institutions. However, outside financing may be unavailable because of tight or volatile capital or financial market conditions may hinder our ability to obtain external financing, costly and / or considerably dilute stockholders. We cannot be certain that additional funding will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of or eliminate one or more of our property development projects.
Raising additional capital may cause a dilution of ownership interests to our existing stockholders or restrict our operations.
Until such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial revenue, we expect to finance our cash needs through a combination of equity offerings, debt financings, and development agreements in connection with any collaborations. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, your ownership interest will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect your rights as a stockholder. Debt financing and preferred equity financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends.
If we are unable to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings when needed, we may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our property development projects in our target markets.
We are indebted to Zenith (HK), a customer that accounted for approximately 72% of our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2024, in the approximate amount of US$124,549 as of March 31, 2025.
Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement dated January 22, 2025, the two convertible promissory notes were purchased and assigned to Zenith (HK) on January 30, 2025. On February 28, 2025, Zenith (HK) waived all rights to convert the outstanding principal amount and any accrued but unpaid interest under the two convertible promissory notes into equity securities of the Company. We owe approximately $124,549 pursuant to such notes. Both notes have already become due and payable. We do not expect to generate sufficient cash flow to repay these notes within the next twenty-four months. There is no assurance that we can generate sufficient cash flow to repay these notes after such twenty-four-month period, if ever. If we are required to repay these notes prior to achieving profitability, our ability to implement our business plan or to expand our business may be significantly delayed.
Risks Relating to Doing Business in Hong Kong.
We face the risk that changes in the policies of the PRC government could have a significant impact upon the business we may be able to conduct in Hong Kong and the profitability of such business.
The mainland Chinese government has significant oversight, discretion and control over the manner in which companies incorporated under the laws of mainland China must conduct their business activities. We currently operate in Hong Kong which has a separate legal framework from that of mainland China. However, since Hong Kong is a special administrative region of China, there can be no assurance as to whether the government of Hong Kong will enact laws and regulations similar to mainland China, or whether any laws or regulations of mainland China will become applicable to our operations in Hong Kong in the future, which could be at any time and with no advance notice. Therefore, the legal and operational risks associated with operating in China also apply to operations in Hong Kong. If we were to become subject to such oversight, discretion and control, including over overseas offerings of securities and/or foreign investments, it may result in a material adverse change in our operations, significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of our securities to significantly decline, which would materially affect the interests of the investors.
27 |
We conduct our operations and generate our revenue in Hong Kong. Our major suppliers and customers are currently all located in Hong Kong and China. Accordingly, economic, political and legal developments in the PRC will significantly affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. The PRC economy is in transition from a planned economy to a market-oriented economy subject to plans adopted by the government that set national economic development goals. Policies of the PRC government can have significant effects on economic conditions in the PRC. While we believe that the PRC will continue to strengthen its economic and trading relationships with foreign countries and that business development in the PRC will continue to follow market forces, we cannot assure you that this will be the case. Our interests may be adversely affected by changes in policies by the PRC government, including:
· | changes in laws, regulations or their interpretation; | |
· | confiscatory taxation; | |
· | restrictions on currency conversion, imports or sources of supplies, or ability to continue as a for-profit enterprise; | |
· | expropriation or nationalization of private enterprises; and | |
· | the allocation of resources. |
Substantial uncertainties and restrictions with respect to the political and economic policies of the PRC government and PRC laws and regulations could have a significant impact upon the business that we may be able to conduct in the PRC and accordingly on the results of our operations and financial condition.
While Hong Kong currently operates under a separate legal framework from mainland China, there remains the possibility that Hong Kong’s legal framework will become more closely aligned with the legal framework of mainland China, including their interpretation, implementation, and enforcement. Changes to Hong Kong’s legal or regulatory frameworks may be introduced with limited or no advance notice. Our operations may also be influenced by the current and future political and regulatory environment in mainland China. Should regulatory requirements from mainland China be extended to Hong Kong-based companies such as ours, this could create uncertainty regarding potential future restrictions on capital flows, foreign listings, or operational requirements. Such developments may affect various aspects of our business, including taxation, import and export controls, healthcare and environmental regulations, land use, and property ownership rights. We may also face increased compliance obligations, operational disruptions, or limitations on our ability to access international capital markets. As a result, our business, financial condition, results of operations, the value of our securities, and our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors may be materially and adversely affected.
Accordingly, government actions in the future, including any decision not to continue to support recent economic reforms and to return to a more centrally planned economy or regional or local variations in the implementation of economic policies, could have a significant effect on economic conditions in Hong Kong or particular regions thereof, and could limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors or require us to divest ourselves of any interest we then hold in Hong Kong properties or joint ventures. Any such actions (including divesture or similar actions) could result in a material adverse effect on us and on your investment in us and could render our securities and your investment in our securities worthless.
There are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of PRC laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, the laws and regulations governing our business, or the enforcement and performance of our contractual arrangements with borrowers in the event of the imposition of statutory liens, death, bankruptcy or criminal proceedings. Only after 1979 did the Chinese government begin to promulgate a comprehensive system of laws that regulate economic affairs in general, deal with economic matters such as foreign investment, corporate organization and governance, commerce, taxation and trade, as well as encourage foreign investment in China. Although the influence of the law has been increasing, China has not developed a fully integrated legal system and recently enacted laws and regulations may not sufficiently cover all aspects of economic activities in China. Also, because these laws and regulations are relatively new, and because of the limited volume of published cases and their lack of force as precedents, interpretation and enforcement of these laws and regulations involve significant uncertainties. New laws and regulations that affect existing and proposed future businesses may also be applied retroactively. In addition, there have been constant changes and amendments of laws and regulations over the past 30 years in order to keep up with the rapidly changing society and economy in China. Because government agencies and courts that provide interpretations of laws and regulations and decide contractual disputes and issues may change their interpretation or enforcement very rapidly with little advance notice at any time, we cannot predict the future direction of Chinese legislative activities with respect to either businesses with foreign investment or the effectiveness on enforcement of laws and regulations in China. The uncertainties, including new laws and regulations and changes of existing laws, as well as, may cause possible problems to foreign investors.
28 |
Although the PRC government has been pursuing economic reform policies for more than two decades, the PRC government continues to exercise significant control over economic growth in the PRC through the allocation of resources, controlling payments of foreign currency, setting monetary policy and imposing policies that impact particular industries in different ways. We cannot assure you that the PRC government will continue to pursue policies favoring a market oriented economy or that existing policies will not be significantly altered, especially in the event of a change in leadership, social or political disruption, or other circumstances affecting political, economic and social life in the PRC.
The Chinese government exerts substantial influence over the manner in which we must conduct our business activities. We are currently not required to obtain approval from Chinese authorities to list on U.S. exchanges. However, to the extent that the Chinese government exerts more control over offerings conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in China-based issuers over time and if we were required to obtain approval in the future and were denied permission from Chinese authorities to list on U.S. exchanges, we will not be able to continue listing on U.S. exchange and the value of our common stock may significantly decline or become worthless, which would materially affect the interest of the investors.
Regulatory authorities in mainland China continue to play a significant role in overseeing various sectors of Hong Kong’s economy through laws, regulations, and state involvement and ownership. While we are based in Hong Kong and operate under its separate legal system, future changes in local laws and regulations—including those related to taxation, environmental compliance, land use, property rights, and other areas—may impact our operations. The central or local governments of these jurisdictions may impose new, stricter regulations or interpretations of existing regulations that would require additional expenditures and efforts on our part to ensure our compliance with such regulations or interpretations. Accordingly, government actions in the future, including any decision not to continue to support recent economic reforms and to return to a more centrally planned economy or regional or local variations in the implementation of economic policies, could have a significant effect on economic conditions in China or particular regions thereof, and could require us to divest ourselves of any interest we then hold in Chinese properties.
For example, just days after Didi Global Inc. (NYSE: DIDI) completed its $4.4 billion IPO on June 30, 2021, the Chinese cybersecurity regulator announced on July 2, 2021, that it had begun an investigation of Didi for failure to comply with data and cybersecurity laws and two days later ordered that the company’s app be removed from smartphone app stores. Eventually, on July 21, 2022, the CAC fined Didi approximately $1.19 billion, and Didi formally delisted from the NYSE on June 13, 2022.
As such, the Company’s business segments may be subject to various government and regulatory interference in the provinces in which they operate. The Company could be subject to regulation by various political and regulatory entities, including various local and municipal agencies and government sub-divisions. The Company may incur increased costs necessary to comply with existing and newly adopted laws and regulations or penalties for any failure to comply. The Company’s operations could be adversely affected, directly or indirectly, by existing or future laws and regulations relating to its business or industry. The Chinese government may, in the future, adopt or implement new laws, regulations, or policies that could affect our operations, including those conducted in or through Hong Kong. Any such regulatory changes or interventions could materially impact our business activities and the value of our common stock. Recent public statements by PRC authorities suggest increased oversight of overseas offerings by companies with ties to China or Hong Kong. If such measures are implemented, they could limit or prevent our ability to raise capital in foreign markets, which may materially and adversely affect the value or liquidity of our securities.
Furthermore, it is uncertain when and whether the Company will be required to obtain permission from the PRC government to list on U.S. exchanges in the future, and even when such permission is obtained, whether it will be denied or rescinded. Although the Company is currently not required to obtain permission from any of the PRC federal or local government to obtain such permission and has not received any denial to list on the U.S. exchange, our operations could be adversely affected, directly or indirectly, by existing or future laws and regulations relating to its business or industry. As a result, our common stock may decline in value dramatically or even become worthless should we become subject to new requirement to obtain permission from the PRC government to list on U.S. exchange in the future.

Recently, the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the General Office of the State Council jointly issued the Opinions on Severe and Lawful Crackdown on Illegal Securities Activities, which were available to the public on July 6, 2021. These opinions emphasized the need to strengthen the administration over illegal securities activities and the supervision on overseas listings by China-based companies. These opinions proposed to take effective measures, such as promoting the construction of relevant regulatory systems, to deal with the risks and incidents facing China-based overseas-listed companies and the demand for cybersecurity and data privacy protection.
In April 2020, the Cyberspace Administration of China and certain other PRC regulatory authorities promulgated the Cybersecurity Review Measures, which became effective in June 2020. Pursuant to the Cybersecurity Review Measures, operators of critical information infrastructure must pass a cybersecurity review when purchasing network products and services which do or may affect national security. On July 10, 2021, the Cyberspace Administration of China issued a revised draft of the Measures for Cybersecurity Review for public comments (“Draft Measures”), which required that, in addition to “operator of critical information infrastructure,” any “data processor” carrying out data processing activities that affect or may affect national security should also be subject to cybersecurity review, and further elaborated the factors to be considered when assessing the national security risks of the relevant activities, including, among others, (i) the risk of core data, important data or a large amount of personal information being stolen, leaked, destroyed, and illegally used or exited the country; and (ii) the risk of critical information infrastructure, core data, important data or a large amount of personal information being affected, controlled, or maliciously used by foreign governments after listing abroad. The Cyberspace Administration of China has said that under the proposed rules companies holding data on more than 1,000,000 users must now apply for cybersecurity approval when seeking listings in other nations because of the risk that such data and personal information could be “affected, controlled, and maliciously exploited by foreign governments,” The cybersecurity review will also investigate the potential national security risks from overseas IPOs. On January 4, 2022, the CAC, in conjunction with 12 other government departments, issued the New Measures for Cybersecurity Review (the “New Measures”) on January 4, 2022. The New Measures amends the Draft Measures released on July 10, 2021 and became effective on February 15, 2022.
The aforementioned policies and any related implementation rules to be enacted may subject us to additional compliance requirement in the future. While we believe that our operations are not affected by this, as these opinions were recently issued, official guidance and interpretation of the opinions remain unclear in several respects at this time. Therefore, we cannot assure you that we will remain fully compliant with all new regulatory requirements of these opinions or any future implementation rules on a timely basis, or at all.
The Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act requires the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) to be permitted to inspect the issuer's public accounting firm within three years. This three-year period was shortened to two upon the enactment of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023. There are uncertainties under the PRC Securities Law relating to the procedures and requisite timing for the U.S. securities regulatory agencies to conduct investigations and collect evidence within the territory of the PRC. If the U.S. securities regulatory agencies are unable to conduct such investigations, they may suspend or de-register our registration with the SEC and delist our securities from applicable trading market within the US.
The Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act was signed into law on December 18, 2020, and requires Auditors of publicly traded companies to submit to regular inspections every three years to assess such auditors’ compliance with applicable professional standards. This three-year period was shortened to two upon the enactment of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023. On September 22, 2021, the PCAOB adopted rules to create a framework for the PCAOB to use when determining, as contemplated under the HFCA Act, whether it is unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms located in a foreign jurisdiction because of a position taken by one or more authorities in that jurisdiction. On December 2, 2021, the SEC adopted amendments to finalize rules implementing the submission and disclosure requirements in the HFCA Act. The rules apply to registrants that the SEC identifies as having filed an annual report with an audit report issued by a registered public accounting firm that is located in a foreign jurisdiction and that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely because of a position taken by an authority in a foreign jurisdiction.

On December 16, 2021, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) issued its report notifying the Commission that it is unable to inspect or investigate completely accounting firms headquartered in mainland China or Hong Kong due to positions taken by authorities in mainland China and Hong Kong. On December 15, 2022, the PCAOB issued a report that vacated its December 16, 2021 determination and removed mainland China and Hong Kong from the list of jurisdictions where it is unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms. Each year, the PCAOB will determine whether it can inspect and investigate completely audit firms in mainland China and Hong Kong, among other jurisdictions. Our auditor is based in Hong Kong and is subject to PCAOB inspection. If PCAOB determines in the future that it no longer has full access to inspect and investigate completely accounting firms in mainland China and Hong Kong and we continue to use an accounting firm headquartered in Hong Kong to issue an audit report on our financial statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, we would be identified as a Commission-Identified Issuer following the filing of the annual report on Form 10-K for the relevant fiscal year. There can be no assurance that we would not be identified as a Commission-Identified Issuer for any future fiscal year, and if we were so identified for two consecutive years, we would become subject to the prohibition on trading under the HFCAA, as amended by the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023, and our securities may be delisted from OTC Markets as a result.
In the event the Chinese authorities subsequently take a position disallowing the PCAOB to inspect our auditor, then we would need to change our auditor. Furthermore, we cannot assure you whether the SEC or other regulatory authorities would apply additional and more stringent criteria to us after considering the effectiveness of our auditor’s audit procedures and quality control procedures, adequacy of personnel and training, or sufficiency of resources, geographic reach or experience as it relates to the audit of our financial statements. The requirement in the HFCA Act, as amended by the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023, that the PCAOB be permitted to inspect the issuer’s public accounting firm within two years, may result in the delisting of our securities from applicable trading markets in the U.S. in the future if the PCAOB is unable to inspect our accounting firm at such future time.
According to Article 177 of the Securities Law of the PRC (“Article 177”), overseas securities regulatory authorities are prohibited from engaging in activities pertaining to investigations or evidence collection directly conducted within the territories of the PRC, and Chinese entities or individuals are further prohibited from providing documents and information in connection with securities business activities to any organizations and/or persons abroad without the prior consent of the securities regulatory authority of the State Council and the competent departments of the State Council. As of the date of this prospectus, we are not aware of any implementing rules or regulations which have been published regarding application of Article 177.
We believe Article 177 is only applicable where the activities of overseas authorities constitute a direct investigation or evidence collection by such authorities within the territory of the PRC. In the event that the U.S. securities regulatory agencies carry out an investigation on us such as an enforcement action by the Department of Justice, the SEC or other authorities, such agencies’ activities will constitute conducting an investigation or collecting evidence directly within the territory of the PRC and accordingly fall within the scope of Article 177. In that case, the U.S. securities regulatory agencies may have to consider establishing cross-border cooperation with the securities regulatory authority of the PRC by way of judicial assistance, diplomatic channels or establishing a regulatory cooperation mechanism with the securities regulatory authority of the PRC. However, there is no assurance that the U.S. securities regulatory agencies will succeed in establishing such cross-border cooperation in this particular case and/or establish such cooperation in a timely manner.
Furthermore, as Article 177 is a recently promulgated provision, it remains unclear as to how it will be interpreted, implemented or applied by the Chinese Securities Regulatory Commission or other relevant government authorities. As such, there are uncertainties as to the procedures and requisite timing for the U.S. securities regulatory agencies to conduct investigations and collect evidence within the territory of the PRC. The Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act requires the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) be permitted to inspect the issuer's public accounting firm within three years. This three-year period was shortened to two years upon the enactment of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023. If the U.S. securities regulatory agencies are unable to conduct such investigations, there exists a risk that they may determine to suspend or de-register our registration with the SEC and may also delist our securities from applicable trading market within the US.

Adverse regulatory developments in China may subject us to additional regulatory review, and additional disclosure requirements and regulatory scrutiny to be adopted by the SEC in response to risks related to recent regulatory developments in China may impose additional compliance requirements for companies like us with significant China-based operations, all of which could increase our compliance costs, subject us to additional disclosure requirements.
The recent regulatory developments in China, in particular with respect to restrictions on China-based companies raising capital offshore, may lead to additional regulatory review in China over our financing and capital raising activities in the United States. In addition, we may be subject to industry-wide regulations that may be adopted by the relevant PRC authorities, which may have the effect of limiting our service offerings, restricting the scope of our operations in China, or causing the suspension or termination of our business operations in China entirely, all of which will materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. We may have to adjust, modify, or completely change our business operations in response to adverse regulatory changes or policy developments, and we cannot assure you that any remedial action adopted by us can be completed in a timely, cost-efficient, or liability-free manner or at all.
On July 30, 2021, in response to the recent regulatory developments in China and actions adopted by the PRC government, the Chairman of the SEC issued a statement asking the SEC staff to seek additional disclosures from offshore issuers associated with China-based operating companies before their registration statements will be declared effective, including detailed disclosure related to whether the issuer received or were denied permission from Chinese authorities to list on U.S. exchanges and the risks that such approval could be denied or rescinded. On August 1, 2021, the China Securities Regulatory Commission stated in a statement that it had taken note of the new disclosure requirements announced by the SEC regarding the listings of Chinese companies and the recent regulatory development in China, and that both countries should strengthen communications on regulating China-related issuers. We cannot guarantee that we will not be subject to tightened regulatory review and we could be exposed to government interference in China.
We may be exposed to liabilities under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and any determination that we violated the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act could have a material adverse effect on our business.
We are subject to the Foreign Corrupt Practice Act, or FCPA, and other laws that prohibit improper payments or offers of payments to foreign governments and their officials and political parties by U.S. persons and issuers as defined by the statute for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. We will have operations, agreements with third parties and make sales in Hong Kong, which may experience corruption. Our proposed activities may create the risk of unauthorized payments or offers of payments by one of the employees, consultants, or sales agents of our Company, because these parties are not always subject to our control. It will be our policy to implement safeguards to discourage these practices by our employees. Also, our existing practices and any future improvements may prove to be less than effective, and the employees, consultants, or sales agents of our Company may engage in conduct for which we might be held responsible. Violations of the FCPA may result in severe criminal or civil sanctions, and we may be subject to other liabilities, which could negatively affect our business, operating results and financial condition. In addition, the government may seek to hold our Company liable for successor liability FCPA violations committed by companies in which we invest or that we acquire.
PRC regulation of loans to and direct investment in PRC entities by offshore holding companies and governmental control of currency conversion may delay or prevent us from using the proceeds we receive from offshore financing activities to make loans to or make additional capital contributions to our Hong Kong subsidiaries, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand business.
Any transfer of funds by us to our Hong Kong subsidiaries, either as a shareholder loan or as an increase in registered capital, may become subject to approval by or registration or filing with relevant governmental authorities in China. According to the relevant PRC regulations on foreign-invested enterprises in China, capital contributions to PRC subsidiaries are subject to the approval of or filing with the Ministry of Commerce in its local branches and registration with a local bank authorized by SAFE. It is unclear if Hong Kong subsidiaries will be deemed a PRC subsidiary. If Hong Kong subsidiaries are deemed to be PRC subsidiaries, (i) any foreign loan procured by our Hong Kong subsidiaries will be required to be registered with SAFE or its local branches or filed with SAFE in its information system; and (ii) our Hong Kong subsidiaries will not be able to procure loans which exceed the difference between their total investment amount and registered capital or, as an alternative, only procure loans subject to the calculation approach and limitation as provided in the People’s Bank of China Notice No. 9 (“PBOC Notice No. 9”). We may not be able to obtain these government approvals or complete such registrations on a timely basis, if at all, with respect to future capital contributions or foreign loans by us to our Hong Kong subsidiaries, if required. If we fail to receive such approvals or complete such registration or filing, our ability to use the proceeds we receive from our offshore financing activities and to capitalize our Hong Kong operations may be negatively affected, which could adversely affect our liquidity and ability to fund and expand our business. There is, in effect, no statutory limit on the amount of capital contribution that we can make to our Hong Kong subsidiaries. This is because there is no statutory limit on the amount of registered capital for our Hong Kong subsidiaries, and we are allowed to make capital contributions to our Hong Kong subsidiaries by subscribing for their initial registered capital and increased registered capital, provided that the Hong Kong subsidiaries complete the relevant filing and registration procedures.

The Circular on Reforming the Administration of Foreign Exchange Settlement of Capital of Foreign-Invested Enterprises, or SAFE Circular 19, effective as of June 1, 2015, as amended by Circular of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange on Reforming and Regulating Policies on the Control over Foreign Exchange Settlement under the Capital Account, or SAFE Circular 16, effective on June 9, 2016, allows FIEs to settle their foreign exchange capital at their discretion, but continues to prohibit FIEs from using the Renminbi fund converted from their foreign exchange capitals for expenditure beyond their business scopes, and also prohibit FIEs from using such Renminbi fund to provide loans to persons other than affiliates unless otherwise permitted under its business scope. If Safe Circulars 16 and 19 are interpreted to apply to the Hong Kong Dollar, our ability to use Hong Kong Dollars converted from the net proceeds from our offshore financing activities to fund the establishment of new entities in Hong Kong, to invest in or acquire any other Hong Kong or PRC companies may be limited, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Because our holding company structure creates restrictions on the payment of dividends or other cash payments, our ability to pay dividends or make other payments is limited.
We are a holding company whose primary assets are our ownership of the equity interests in our subsidiaries. We conduct no other business and, as a result, we depend entirely upon our subsidiaries’ earnings and cash flow to meet cash and financing requirements. If we decide in the future to pay dividends or make other payments, as a holding company, our ability to pay dividends and meet other obligations depends upon the receipt of dividends or other payments from our operating subsidiaries. Our subsidiaries and projects may be restricted in their ability to pay dividends, make distributions or otherwise transfer funds to us prior to the satisfaction of other obligations, including the payment of operating expenses or debt service, appropriation to reserves prescribed by laws and regulations, covering losses in previous years, restrictions on the conversion of local currency into U.S. dollars or other hard currency, completion of relevant procedures with governmental authorities or banks and other regulatory restrictions. Under the applicable PRC laws and regulations, foreign-invested enterprises in China may pay dividends only out of their accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. In addition, a foreign-invested enterprise in China is required to set aside a portion of its after-tax profit to fund specific reserve funds prior to payment of dividends. In particular, at least 10% of its after-tax profits based on PRC accounting standards each year is required to be set aside towards its general reserves until the accumulative amount of such reserves reach 50% of its registered capital. These reserves are not distributable as cash dividends. If future dividends are paid in RMB, fluctuations in the exchange rate for the conversion of any of these currencies into U.S. dollars may adversely affect the amount received by U.S. stockholders upon conversion of the dividend payment into U.S. dollars. For a detailed description of the potential government regulations facing the Company associated with our operations in Hong Kong and on restrictions on payments from our subsidiaries, please refer to “Government and Industry Regulations–China” and “Transfers of Cash to and from our Subsidiaries.” We do not presently have any intention to declare or pay dividends in the future. You should not purchase shares of our common stock in anticipation of receiving dividends in future periods.
Our Hong Kong subsidiary may be subject to restrictions on paying dividends or making other payments to us, which may restrict its ability to satisfy liquidity requirements, conduct business and pay dividends to holders of our common stock.
Most of our cash is maintained in Hong Kong Dollars. We rely on dividends from our Hong Kong subsidiaries for our cash and financing requirements, such as the funds necessary to service any debt we may incur. There is a possibility that the PRC could prevent our cash maintained in Hong Kong from leaving or the PRC could restrict the deployment of the cash into our business or for the payment of dividends. Any such controls or restrictions may adversely affect our ability to finance our cash requirements, service debt or make dividend or other distributions to our shareholders. Current PRC regulations permit PRC subsidiaries to pay dividends to foreign parent companies only out of their accumulated after-tax profits upon satisfaction of relevant statutory condition and procedures, if any, determined in accordance with Chinese accounting standards and regulations. In addition, PRC subsidiaries are required to set aside at least 10% of their accumulated profits each year, if any, to fund certain reserve funds until the total amount set aside reaches 50% of its registered capital. Furthermore, if PRC subsidiaries and their subsidiaries incur debt on their own behalf in the future, the instruments governing the debt may restrict their ability to pay dividends or make other payments to the foreign parent company, which may restrict the ability of the foreign parent company to satisfy its liquidity requirements. If such restrictions on dividend and other payments are interpreted to apply to Hong Kong entities, our ability to rely on payments from our Hong Kong subsidiary will be adversely affected.
In addition, the Enterprise Income Tax Law of the PRC, or the PRC EIT Law, and its implementation rules provide that withholding tax rate of 10% will be applicable to dividends payable by Chinese companies to non-PRC-resident enterprises unless otherwise exempted or reduced according to treaties or arrangements between the PRC central government and governments of other countries or regions where the non-PRC-resident enterprises are incorporated. For a detailed description of the potential government regulations facing the Company and the offering associated with our operations in Hong Kong, please refer to “Government and Industry Regulations – Regulations Relating to Foreign Exchange and Dividend Distribution.”

If any dividend is declared in the future and paid in a foreign currency, you may be taxed on a larger amount in U.S. dollars than the U.S. dollar amount that you will actually ultimately receive.
If you are a U.S. holder of our shares of common stock, you will be taxed on the U.S. dollar value of your dividends, if any, at the time you receive them, even if you actually receive a smaller amount of U.S. dollars when the payment is in fact converted into U.S. dollars. Specifically, if a dividend is declared and paid in a foreign currency such as the RMB, the amount of the dividend distribution that you must include in your income as a U.S. holder will be the U.S. dollar value of the payments made in the foreign currency, determined at the spot rate of the foreign currency to the U.S. dollar on the date the dividend distribution is includible in your income, regardless of whether the payment is in fact converted into U.S. dollars. Thus, if the value of the foreign currency decreases before you actually convert the currency into U.S. dollars, you will be taxed on a larger amount in U.S. dollars than the U.S. dollar amount that you will actually ultimately receive.
Dividends payable to our foreign investors and gains on the sale of our shares of common stock by our foreign investors may become subject to tax by the PRC.
Under the Enterprise Income Tax Law and its implementation regulations issued by the State Council of the PRC, unless otherwise provided under relevant tax treaties, a 10% PRC withholding tax is applicable to dividends payable to investors that are non-resident enterprises, which do not have an establishment or place of business in the PRC or which have such establishment or place of business but the dividends are not effectively connected with such establishment or place of business, to the extent such dividends are derived from sources within the PRC. Similarly, any gain realized on the transfer of shares by such investors is also subject to PRC tax at a current rate of 10%, subject to any reduction or exemption set forth in relevant tax treaties, if such gain is regarded as income derived from sources within the PRC. If we are deemed a PRC resident enterprise, dividends paid on our shares, and any gain realized from the transfer of our shares, would be treated as income derived from sources within the PRC and would as a result be subject to PRC taxation. Furthermore, if we are deemed a PRC resident enterprise, dividends payable to individual investors who are non-PRC residents and any gain realized on the transfer shares by such investors may be subject to PRC tax at a current rate of 20%, subject to any reduction or exemption set forth in applicable tax treaties. It is unclear whether we or any of our subsidiaries established outside of China are considered a PRC resident enterprise or whether holders of shares would be able to claim the benefit of income tax treaties or agreements entered into between China and other countries or areas. If dividends payable to our non-PRC investors, or gains from the transfer of our shares by such investors are subject to PRC tax, the value of your investment in our shares may decline significantly. For a detailed description of the potential government regulations facing the Company associated with our operations in Hong Kong, please refer to “Government and Industry Regulations–China ”.
Our global income may be subject to PRC taxes under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
Under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, or the New EIT Law, and its amendment and implementation rules, which became effective in January 2008, an enterprise established outside of the PRC with a “de facto management body” located within the PRC is considered a PRC resident enterprise and will be subject to the enterprise income tax at the rate of 25% on its global income. The implementation rules define the term “de facto management bodies” as “establishments that carry out substantial and overall management and control over the manufacturing and business operations, personnel and human resources, finance and treasury, and business combination and disposition of properties and other assets of an enterprise.” On April 22, 2009, the State Administration of Taxation (the “SAT”), issued a circular, or SAT Circular 82, which provides certain specific criteria for determining whether the “de facto management body” of a PRC-controlled enterprise that is incorporated offshore is located in China. Although the SAT Circular 82 only applies to offshore enterprises controlled by PRC enterprises or PRC enterprise groups, not those controlled by PRC individuals or foreigners, the determining criteria set forth in the SAT Circular 82 may reflect the SAT’s general position on how the “de facto management body” text should be applied in determining the resident status of all offshore enterprises for the purpose of PRC tax, regardless of whether they are controlled by PRC enterprises or individuals. Although we do not believe that our legal entities organized outside of the PRC constitute PRC resident enterprises, it is possible that the PRC tax authorities could reach a different conclusion. In such case, we may be considered a PRC resident enterprise and may therefore be subject to the 25% enterprise income tax on our global income, which could significantly increase our tax burden and materially and adversely affect our cash flow and profitability. In addition to the uncertainty regarding how the new PRC resident enterprise classification for tax purposes may apply, it is also possible that the rules may change in the future, possibly with retroactive effect. For a detailed description of the potential government regulations facing the Company associated with our operations in Hong Kong, please refer to “Government and Industry Regulations–China”.

We and our shareholders face uncertainties with respect to indirect transfers of equity interests in PRC resident enterprises by their non-PRC holding companies.
On February 3, 2015, the State Administration of Taxation issued an Announcement on Several Issues Concerning Enterprise Income Tax on Income Arising from Indirect Transfers of Property by Non-PRC Resident Enterprises, or Announcement 7, with the same effective date. Under Announcement 7, an “indirect transfer” refers to a transaction where a non-resident enterprise transfers its equity interest and other similar interest in an offshore holding company, which directly or indirectly holds Chinese taxable assets (the assets of an “establishment or place” situated in China; real property situated in China and equity interest in Chinese resident enterprises) and any indirect transfer without reasonable commercial purposes are subject to the PRC taxation. In addition, Announcement 7 specifies the conditions under which an indirect transfer is deemed to lack a reasonable commercial purpose which include: (1) 75% or more of the value of the offshore holding company’s equity is derived from Chinese taxable assets, (2) anytime in the year prior to the occurrence of the indirect transfer of Chinese taxable assets, 90% or more of the total assets (excluding cash) of the offshore holding company are direct or indirect investments in China, or 90% or more of the revenue of the offshore holding company was sourced from China; (3) the functions performed and risks assumed by the offshore holding company(ies), although incorporated in an offshore jurisdiction to conform to the corporate law requirements there, are insufficient to substantiate their corporate existence and (4) the foreign income tax payable in respect of the indirect transfer is lower than the Chinese tax which would otherwise be payable in respect of the direct transfer if such transfer were treated as a direct transfer. As a result, gains derived from such indirect transfer will be subject to PRC enterprise income tax, currently at a tax rate of 10%.
Announcement 7 grants a safe harbor under certain qualifying circumstances, including transfers in the public securities market and certain intragroup restricting transactions, however, there is uncertainty as to the implementation of Announcement 7. For example, Announcement 7 requires the buyer to withhold the applicable taxes without specifying how to obtain the information necessary to calculate taxes and when the applicable tax shall be submitted. Announcement 7 may be determined by the tax authorities to be applicable to our offshore restructuring transactions or sale of the shares of our offshore subsidiaries where non-resident enterprises, being the transferors, were involved. Though Announcement 7 does not impose a mandatory obligation of filing the report of taxable events, the transferring party shall be subject to PRC withholding tax if the certain tax filing conditions are met. Non-filing may result in an administrative penalty varying from 50% to 300% of unpaid taxes. As a result, we and our non-resident enterprises in such transactions may become at risk of being subject to taxation under Announcement 7, and may be required to expend valuable resources to comply with Announcement 7 or to establish that we and our non-resident enterprises should not be taxed under Announcement 7, for any restructuring or disposal of shares of offshore subsidiaries, which may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
PRC laws and regulations have established more complex procedures for certain acquisitions of Chinese companies by foreign investors, which could make it more difficult for us to pursue growth through acquisitions in China.
Further to the Regulations on Mergers and Acquisitions of Domestic Enterprises by Foreign Investors, or the New M&A Rules, the Anti-monopoly Law of the PRC, the Rules of Ministry of Commerce on Implementation of Security Review System of Mergers and Acquisitions of Domestic Enterprises by Foreign Investors promulgated by MOFCOM or the MOFCOM Security Review Rules, was issued in August 2011, which established additional procedures and requirements that are expected to make merger and acquisition activities in China by foreign investors more time-consuming and complex, including requirements in some instances that MOFCOM be notified in advance of any change of control transaction in which a foreign investor takes control of a PRC enterprise, or that the approval from MOFCOM be obtained in circumstances where overseas companies established or controlled by PRC enterprises or residents acquire affiliated domestic companies. PRC laws and regulations also require certain merger and acquisition transactions to be subject to merger control review and or security review.
The MOFCOM Security Review Rules, effective from September 1, 2011, which implement the Notice of the General Office of the State Council on Establishing the Security Review System for Mergers and Acquisitions of Domestic Enterprises by Foreign Investors promulgated on February 3, 2011, further provide that, when deciding whether a specific merger or acquisition of a domestic enterprise by foreign investors is subject to the security review by MOFCOM, the principle of substance over form should be applied and foreign investors are prohibited from bypassing the security review requirement by structuring transactions through proxies, trusts, indirect investments, leases, loans, control through agreements control or offshore transactions.

Further, if the business of any target company that the combined company seeks to acquire falls into the scope of security review, the combined company may not be able to successfully acquire such company either by equity or asset acquisition, capital contribution or through any contractual agreements. The combined company may grow its business in part by acquiring other companies operating in its industry. Complying with the requirements of the relevant regulations to complete such transactions could be time consuming, and any required approval processes, including approval from MOFCOM, may delay or inhibit its ability to complete such transactions, which could affect our ability to maintain or expand our market share.
In addition, SAFE promulgated the Circular on the Settlement of Foreign Currency Capital of Foreign-invested Enterprises, or Circular 19, on June 1, 2015. Under Circular 19, registered capital of a foreign-invested company settled in RMB converted from foreign currencies may only be used within the business scope approved by the applicable governmental authority and the equity investments in the PRC made by the foreign-invested company shall be subject to the relevant laws and regulations about the foreign-invested company’s reinvestment in the PRC. In addition, foreign-invested companies cannot use such capital to make the investments in securities, and cannot use such capital to issue the entrusted RMB loans (except approved in its business scope), repay the RMB loans between the enterprises and the ones which have been transferred to the third party. Circular 19 may significantly limit our ability to effectively use the proceeds from future financing activities as the Chinese subsidiaries may not convert the funds received from us in foreign currencies into RMB, which may adversely affect their liquidity and our ability to fund and expand our business in the PRC.
SAFE issued the Circular on Reforming and Regulating Policies on the Control over Foreign Exchange Settlement of Capital Accounts (“Circular 16”), on June 9, 2016, which became effective simultaneously. Pursuant to Circular 16, enterprises registered in the PRC may also convert their foreign debts from foreign currency to RMB on a self-discretionary basis. Circular 16 provides an integrated standard for conversion of foreign exchange under capital account items (including but not limited to foreign currency capital and foreign debts) on a self-discretionary basis which applies to all enterprises registered in the PRC. Circular 16 reiterates the principle that RMB converted from foreign currency-denominated capital of a company may not be directly or indirectly used for purpose beyond its business scope or prohibited by PRC Laws or regulations, while such converted RMB shall not be utilized as loans to its non-affiliated entities. As Circular 16 is newly issued and SAFE has not provided detailed guidelines with respect to its interpretation or implementation, it is uncertain how these rules will be interpreted and implemented.
Failure to comply with PRC regulations regarding the registration requirements for employee stock ownership plans or share option plans may subject the PRC plan participants or us to fines and other legal or administrative sanctions.
Pursuant to SAFE Circular 37, PRC residents who participate in share incentive plans in overseas non-publicly-listed companies may submit applications to SAFE or its local branches for the foreign exchange registration with respect to offshore special purpose companies. In the meantime, our directors, executive officers and other employees who are PRC citizens or who are non-PRC residents residing in the PRC for a continuous period of not less than one year, subject to limited exceptions, and who have been granted incentive share awards by us, may follow the Notices on Issues Concerning the Foreign Exchange Administration for Domestic Individuals Participating in Stock Incentive Plan of Overseas Publicly-Listed Company, or 2012 SAFE notices, promulgated by the SAFE in 2012. Pursuant to the 2012 SAFE notices, PRC citizens and non-PRC citizens who reside in China for a continuous period of not less than one year who participate in any stock incentive plan of an overseas publicly listed company, subject to a few exceptions, are required to register with SAFE through a domestic qualified agent, which could be the PRC subsidiaries of such overseas listed company, and complete certain other procedures. In addition, an overseas entrusted institution must be retained to handle matters in connection with the exercise or sale of stock options and the purchase or sale of shares and interests. Our executive officers and other employees who are PRC citizens or who reside in the PRC for a continuous period of not less than one year and who have been granted options will be subject to these regulations. It is unclear if these regulations will be expanded to include Hong Kong residents or citizens. Failure to complete the SAFE registrations may subject them to fines, and legal sanctions and may also limit our ability to contribute additional capital into our Hong Kong subsidiaries and limit our Hong Kong subsidiaries’ ability to distribute dividends to us if Hong Kong residents or citizens are covered under these PRC regulations. We also face regulatory uncertainties that could restrict our ability to adopt additional incentive plans for our directors, executive officers and employees under PRC law.
The SAT has issued certain circulars concerning employee share options and restricted shares. Under these circulars, employees working in China who exercise share options or are granted restricted shares will be subject to PRC individual income tax. It is unclear whether these regulations will be expanded in the future to cover our employees in Hong Kong. Our Hong Kong subsidiaries may become obligated to file documents related to employee share options or restricted shares with relevant tax authorities and to withhold individual income taxes of those employees who exercise their share options. If our employees fail to pay or we fail to withhold their income taxes according to relevant laws and regulations, we may face sanctions imposed by the tax authorities or other PRC governmental authorities.

If we become directly subject to the recent scrutiny, criticism and negative publicity involving U.S.-listed Chinese companies, we may have to expend significant resources to investigate and resolve the matter which could harm our business operations and our reputation and could result in a loss of your investment in our shares, especially if such matter cannot be addressed and resolved favorably.
U.S. public companies that have substantially all of their operations in China have been the subject of intense scrutiny, criticism and negative publicity by investors, financial commentators and regulatory agencies, such as the SEC. Much of the scrutiny, criticism and negative publicity has centered around financial and accounting irregularities, a lack of effective internal controls over financial accounting and reporting, inadequate corporate governance policies or a lack of adherence thereto and, in many cases, allegations of fraud. As a result of the scrutiny, criticism and negative publicity, the publicly traded stock of many U.S. listed Chinese companies has sharply decreased in value and, in some cases, has become virtually worthless. Many of these companies are now subject to shareholder lawsuits and SEC enforcement actions and are conducting internal and external investigations into the allegations. It is not clear what effect this sector-wide scrutiny, criticism and negative publicity will have on our company and our business. If we become the subject of any unfavorable allegations, whether such allegations are proven to be true or untrue, we may have to expend significant resources to investigate such allegations and/or defend the Company. This situation may be a major distraction to our management. If such allegations are not proven to be groundless, our Company and business operations will be severely hampered and your investment in our stock could be rendered worthless.
In addition, major issues with other U.S. listed Chinese companies in the future, could have a negative effect on the value of your investment, even though the Company is not involved.
Substantially all of our assets and a majority of our officers and directors are located in Hong Kong. As a result, it may be difficult for stockholders to enforce any judgment obtained in the United States against us, our officers or directors, which may limit the remedies otherwise available to our stockholders.
Substantially all of our assets are located in Hong Kong. Moreover, a majority of our current directors and officers are Hong Kong nationals or are otherwise located in Hong Kong. All or a substantial portion of their assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for our stockholders to effect service of process within the United States upon our subsidiaries or any individuals. In addition, there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of Hong Kong or the PRC would recognize or enforce judgments of U.S. courts obtained against us or our officers and/or directors predicated upon the civil liability provisions of Hong Kong against us or such persons predicated upon the securities laws of the United States or any state thereof. It is unclear if extradition treaties now in effect between the United States and the PRC would permit effective enforcement against us or our officers and directors of criminal penalties under the United States Federal securities laws or otherwise.
Risks Relating to Securities Markets and Investment in Our Stock
There is not now and there may not ever be an active market for our Common Stock. There are restrictions on the transferability of these securities.
There currently is no market for our Common Stock and, except as otherwise described herein, we have no plans to file any registration statement or otherwise attempt to create a market for the shares. Even if an active market develops for the shares, Rule 144, which provides for an exemption from the registration requirements under the Securities Act under certain conditions, requires, among other conditions, a holding period prior to the resale (in limited amounts) of securities acquired in a non-public offering without having to satisfy the registration requirements under the Securities Act. There can be no assurance that we will fulfill any reporting requirements in the future under the Exchange Act or disseminate to the public any current financial or other information concerning us, as is required by Rule 144 as part of the conditions of its availability.

Our common stock is subject to the “penny stock” rules of the sec and the trading market in our securities is limited, which makes transactions in our stock cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment in our stock.
Under U.S. federal securities legislation, our common stock will constitute "penny stock". Penny stock is any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require that a broker or dealer approve a potential investor's account for transactions in penny stocks, and the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. In order to approve an investor's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person, and make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks. The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the Commission relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination. Brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the "penny stock" rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our stock. Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.
You may experience substantial dilution of your investment in our securities as a result of the potential conversion of certain outstanding preferred stock into shares of our common stock.
We have 200,000 shares issued and outstanding of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock which have potentially dilutive impacts on voting or beneficial ownership. Each one share of Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to convert 20,000 shares of Common Stock and vote 20,000 shares on matters submitted to a vote of our shareholders. ModuLink Inc. owns all 200,000 shares issued and outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. Our directors, TAM, Hin Wah Anthony, FU, Wah and AU-YEUNG, Sai Kit, holds 50%, 25% and 25% shareholding interests of ModuLink Inc., respectively. As a result, ModuLink Inc. controls the voting power of approximately 50.19% of our common stock, as calculated on a fully diluted basis, as of the date of this registration statement. Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, the aggregate balances of 1,414,027,236 shares of common stock were issued to our directors, TAM, Hin Wah Anthony, FU, Wah and AU-YEUNG, Sai Kit. They will, in aggregate of shareholding interests through ModuLink Inc. and personally, control approximately 67.93% of the voting power of our common stock, as calculated on a fully diluted basis.
We are a controlled company subject to the control of ModuLink Inc., and our directors, TAM, Hin Wah Anthony, FU, Wah and AU-YEUNG, Sai Kit, together with our other insiders beneficially own a significant portion of our stock, and accordingly, have control over stockholder matters, our business and management.
Under NASDAQ stock exchange rule 5615(c)(1), a “controlled company” is defined as a “company of which more than 50% of the voting power for the election of directors is held by an individual, a group or another company.” As of the date of this registration form, ModuLink Inc. beneficially owns 200,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, or approximately 50.19% voting power of our shares of common stock, as calculated on a fully diluted basis. Our directors, TAM, Hin Wah Anthony, FU, Wah and AU-YEUNG, Sai Kit, holds 50%, 25% and 25% shareholding interests of ModuLink Inc., respectively. Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, the aggregate balances of 1,414,027,236 shares of common stock were issued to our directors, TAM, Hin Wah Anthony, FU, Wah and AU-YEUNG, Sai Kit. As a result, our directors beneficially own in aggregate through ModuLink Inc. approximately 67.93% of the voting power of common stock, as calculated on a fully diluted basis. As a result, ModuLink Inc. and our directors will have significant influence to:
· | Elect or defeat the election of our directors; | |
· | Amend or prevent amendment of our articles of incorporation or bylaws; | |
· | Effect or prevent a merger, sale of assets or other corporate transaction; and | |
· | Effect the outcome of any other matter submitted to the stockholders for vote. |
38 |
Moreover, because of the significant ownership position held by our management team, new investors may not be able to effect a change in our business or management, and therefore, shareholders would have no recourse as a result of decisions made by management. In addition, sales of significant amounts of shares held by our management team, or the prospect of these sales, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Our management team’s stock ownership may discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us, which in turn could reduce our stock price or prevent our stockholders from realizing a premium over our stock price.
State securities laws may limit secondary trading, which may restrict the states in which and conditions under which you can sell the shares offered by this registration statement.
Secondary trading in common stock sold in this offering will not be possible in any state until the common stock is qualified for sale under the applicable securities laws of the state or there is confirmation that an exemption, such as listing in certain recognized securities manuals, is available for secondary trading in the state. If we fail to register or qualify, or to obtain or verify an exemption for the secondary trading of, the common stock in any particular state, the common stock could not be offered or sold to, or purchased by, a resident of that state. In the event that a significant number of states refuse to permit secondary trading in our common stock, the liquidity for the common stock could be significantly impacted thus causing you to realize a loss on your investment.
The Company does not intend to seek registration or qualification of its shares of common stock the subject of this offering in any State or territory of the United States. Aside from a "secondary trading" exemption, other exemptions under state law and the laws of US territories may be available to purchasers of the shares of common stock sold in this offering,
Anti-takeover effects of certain provisions of Nevada state law hinder a potential takeover of our company.
Though not now, in the future we may become subject to Nevada's control share law. A corporation is subject to Nevada's control share law if it has more than 200 stockholders, at least 100 of whom are stockholders of record and residents of Nevada, and it does business in Nevada or through an affiliated corporation. The law focuses on the acquisition of a "controlling interest" which means the ownership of outstanding voting shares sufficient, but for the control share law, to enable the acquiring person to exercise the following proportions of the voting power of the corporation in the election of directors:
(i) one-fifth or more but less than one-third, (ii) one-third or more but less than a majority, or (iii) a majority or more. The ability to exercise such voting power may be direct or indirect, as well as individual or in association with others.
The effect of the control share law is that the acquiring person, and those acting in association with it, obtains only such voting rights in the control shares as are conferred by a resolution of the stockholders of the corporation, approved at a special or annual meeting of stockholders. The control share law contemplates that voting rights will be considered only once by the other stockholders. Thus, there is no authority to strip voting rights from the control shares of an acquiring person once those rights have been approved. If the stockholders do not grant voting rights to the control shares acquired by an acquiring person, those shares do not become permanent non-voting shares. The acquiring person is free to sell its shares to others. If the buyers of those shares themselves do not acquire a controlling interest, their shares do not become governed by the control share law.
If control shares are accorded full voting rights and the acquiring person has acquired control shares with a majority or more of the voting power, any stockholder of record, other than an acquiring person, who has not voted in favor of approval of voting rights is entitled to demand fair value for such stockholder's shares.
39 |
In addition to the control share law, Nevada has a business combination law which prohibits certain business combinations between Nevada corporations and "interested stockholders" for three years after the "interested stockholder" first becomes an "interested stockholder," unless the corporation's board of directors approves the combination in advance. For purposes of Nevada law, an "interested stockholder" is any person who is (i) the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of ten percent or more of the voting power of the outstanding voting shares of the corporation, or (ii) an affiliate or associate of the corporation and at any time within the three previous years was the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of ten percent or more of the voting power of the then outstanding shares of the corporation. The definition of the term "business combination" is sufficiently broad to cover virtually any kind of transaction that would allow a potential acquirer to use the corporation's assets to finance the acquisition or otherwise to benefit its own interests rather than the interests of the corporation and its other stockholders.
The effect of Nevada's business combination law is to potentially discourage parties interested in taking control of our company from doing so if it cannot obtain the approval of our board of directors.
Because we do not intend to pay any cash dividends on our common stock, our stockholders will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they sell them.
We intend to retain any future earnings to finance the development and expansion of our business. We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Unless we pay dividends, our stockholders will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they sell them. Stockholders may never be able to sell shares when desired. Before you invest in our securities, you should be aware that there are various risks. You should consider carefully these risk factors, together with all of the other information included in this annual report before you decide to purchase our securities. If any of the following risks and uncertainties develop into actual events, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
Our stock may be subject to substantial price and volume fluctuations due to a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control and may prevent our stockholders from reselling our Common Stock at a profit.
The market prices for our securities may be volatile and may fluctuate substantially due to many factors, including:
· | market conditions in the business marketing services and digital assets services sectors or the economy as a whole; | |
· | price and volume fluctuations in the overall stock market; | |
· | announcements of the introduction of new products and services by us or our competitors; | |
· | actual fluctuations in our quarterly operating results, and concerns by investors that such fluctuations may occur in the future; | |
· | deviations in our operating results from the estimates of securities analysts or other analyst comments; | |
· | additions or departures of key personnel; | |
· | legislation, including measures affecting e-commerce or infrastructure development; and | |
· | developments concerning current or future strategic collaborations. |

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of the Results of Operations
Forward-Looking Statements
Statements in the following discussion and throughout this registration statement that are not historical in nature are “forward-looking statements.” You can identify forward-looking statements by the use of words such as “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “intend,” “believe,” and similar expressions. Although we believe the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, such statements are inherently subject to risk and we can give no assurances that our expectations will prove to be correct. Actual results could differ from those described in this registration statement because of numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control. These factors include, without limitation, those described under Item 1A “Risk Factors.” We undertake no obligation to update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this registration statement or to reflect actual outcomes. Please see “Forward Looking Statements” at the beginning of this Form 10.
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto and other financial information appearing elsewhere in this Form 10.
Overview
The Company is engaged in the business of property development by implementing modular integrated construction technology (“MiC”), embedded with our proprietary atmospheric water generators (“AWG”) and property management system by internet of things technology (“IoT”). We believe that these technologies support the development of sustainable and intelligent properties tailored for a varieties market, including residential, commercial, industrial, and remote or resource-scarce environments.
We are at a development stage company and during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company only derived revenue from modular building construction and design services business. We reported a net loss of $283,378 and net profit of $12,734 for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. We had current assets of $1,030,614 and current liabilities of $904,610 as of December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2023, our current assets and current liabilities were $942,324 and $1,094,305, respectively. We had net cash used in operating activities of $345,193 for the year ended December 31, 2024 and net cash provided by operating activities of $252,075 for the year ended December 31, 2023. As at December 31, 2024 and 2023, we had accumulated deficit of $2,849,731 and $2,566,353, respectively.
Our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. Our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon improving our profitability and the continuing financial support from our stockholders and Zenith (Hong Kong) as more fully described in the sub-section entitled “Going Concern” below. The Company plans to secure additional funding to support its current operations, expected future growth and strategic objectives. Management is actively pursuing financing opportunities through debt and equity transactions, as well as exploring new development projects and accelerating the commercialization of its products. If successfully executed, these initiatives are expected to generate positive operating cash flows and improve the Company’s financial position.
Based on management’s best estimates, the Company believes it has sufficient financial resources to meet its obligations for at least the next twelve months.

The significant decrease in revenue by approximately 75% was primarily attributable to the decline in income from our design and build services, which dropped from $1,624,302 in 2023 to $114,482 in 2024. This reduction was largely the result of the completion of our most recent design and build project in early-2024, after which the Company did not secure any new contracts within this service segment during the remainder of 2024. However, in August 2024, the Company initiated a new engagement focused on design and project management services, representing a strategic shift toward service-based offerings that leverage our technical expertise while requiring less capital commitment than traditional design and build contracts.
In August 2024, we entered into a design services management agreement with Zenith HK for a contract sum of HK$4,000,000. Under this agreement, we agreed to provide technical design manpower services in connection with the Sheung Shui Town Lot No. 263 (F0874), Kwu Tung North – Podium and Tower project. Our scope of work included the deployment of skilled technical personnel to support design development, project planning, coordination activities, and close collaboration with Zenith HK’s internal team throughout the course of the project. This project was completed in June 2025.
Looking ahead, the Company intends to focus on design and project management services for future developments, particularly in overseas markets. Unlike the design and build model, which typically involves obtaining multiple licenses, permits, and regulatory approvals that may vary significantly across jurisdictions, our design and project management approach enables us to leverage our core competencies while minimizing regulatory complexity and operational risk. This strategic shift is expected to enhance agility, reduce capital intensity, and position the Company for more sustainable growth in diverse international markets.
Revenue from design and build services is recognized over time using the cost-to-cost method to measure progress toward fulfilling our performance obligations.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of services were $349,179 and $1,580,073, for the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 respectively. The significant decrease in cost of services is primarily attributable to the corresponding reduction in revenue during the same period, reflecting the completion of our last design and build project in early-2024.
Gross Profit
We recorded gross profit of $60,163 and $44,229 for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase in gross profit for 2024 was primarily attributable to the contribution from project design and management services introduced during the year.
General and administrative expenses (“G&A expenses”)
General and administrative expenses were $298,675 for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $10,908 for the year ended December 31, 2023. These expenses primarily consisted of advertising and marketing costs, business development and consultancy fees, personnel-related expenses, and other costs associated with the Company’s day-to-day operations and corporate administration. The significant increase in general and administrative expenses in 2024 was largely driven by the Group’s strategic initiatives undertaken during the year, including the expansion of business operations into overseas markets beyond Hong Kong, beginning in August 2024. This expansion formed part of a broader restructuring plan aimed at diversifying the Group’s service offerings and geographic footprint. As a result, higher expenditures were incurred to support business development and the establishment of operational infrastructure in new jurisdictions.
Income Tax Expense
We incurred income tax expense of $37,681 and $5,360 during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Income is subject to taxation in various countries in which the Company and its subsidiaries operate or are incorporated. The income tax expense incurred in 2024 and 2023 was Hong Kong profits tax in which the subsidiaries are subject to a 16.5% income tax rate on its taxable income generated from operations in Hong Kong.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The following summarizes the key component of our cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.
Years ended December 31, | ||||||||
2024 | 2023 | |||||||
Net cash (used in) / provided by operating activities | $ | (345,193 | ) | $ | 252,075 | |||
Net cash used in investing activities | $ | (25,658 | ) | $ | – | |||
Net cash provided by financing activities | $ | 392,509 | $ | – |
Net Cash (Used In) / provided by Operating Activities
For the year ended December 31, 2024, net cash used in operating activities was $345,193, primarily consisting of a net loss of $245,697, increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $97,021, decrease in amount due to related companies of $415,548, with were partly offset by decrease in other receivables of $194,951 and increase in contract liabilities of $149,571.
For the year ended December 31, 2023, net cash provided by operating activities was $252,075, which consisted primarily of a net profit of $18,094 and increase in amount due to related companies of 409,344. These were offset by increase in accounts receivable and contract assets of $82,545 and $115,500, respectively.
Net Cash Used In Investing Activities
For the year ended December 31, 2024, net cash used in investing activities was $25,658, which mainly consisted of purchase of equipment of $25,655.
No investing activities incurred for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities
For the year ended December 31, 2024, net cash provided by financing activities was $392,509, which consisted of proceeds from share issuance in a subsidiary of $542,308 with offset by the loan of $149,799 advanced to an independent property development entity based in Canada.
No financing activities incurred for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Working Capital
As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, our cash and cash equivalents amounted to $382,127 and $360,469 and our working capital was surplus of $126,004 and deficit of $151,981, respectively.
We expect to incur significantly greater expenses in the near future as we are expanding our business in various geographical locations.
We also expect our business development, sales and marketing expenses to increase as we would spend more efforts in building up customers, exploring new projects and sales network, and incur additional costs in professional and consultancy fees, administrative expenses associated with our corporate restructurings and filings with the Commission.
During the year, we did not pay dividends on our Common Stock. Our present policy is to apply cash to investments in business development and expansion; consequently, we do not expect to pay dividends on Common Stock in the foreseeable future.
44 |
Going Concern
Our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon improving our profitability and the continuing financial support from our stockholders. Our sources of capital may include the sale of equity securities, which include common stock sold in private transactions and short-term and long-term debts. While we believe that we will obtain external financing and the existing shareholders will continue to provide the additional cash to meet our obligations as they become due, there can be no assurance that we will be able to raise such additional capital resources on satisfactory terms. Currently, we rely on funding provided by our officers and directors to support our ongoing operating activities. In light of this support, along with the continued forbearance of Zenith (HK) as discussed below, we believe our existing cash position and other sources of liquidity are sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next 12 months.
We are indebted to Zenith (HK), a customer that accounted for approximately 72% of our revenues, for the year ended December 31, 2024, in the approximate amount of $124,549 as of March 31, 2025. Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement dated January 22, 2025, the two convertible promissory notes were purchased and assigned to Zenith (HK) on January 30, 2025. On February 28, 2025, Zenith (HK) waived all rights to convert the outstanding principal amount and any accrued but unpaid interest under the two convertible promissory notes into equity securities of the Company. We owe approximately $124,549 pursuant to such notes. Both notes have already become due and payable. However, Zenith (HK) has indicated a willingness to work with the Company regarding repayment of such loans. We do not expect to generate sufficient cash flow to repay these notes within the next twenty-four months. There is no assurance that we can generate sufficient cash flow to repay these notes after such twenty-four-month period, if ever. If we are required to repay these notes prior to achieving profitability, our ability to implement our business plan or to expand our business may be significantly delayed.
We require additional funding to meet our ongoing obligations and to fund anticipated operating losses. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on raising capital to fund its initial business plan and ultimately to attain profitable operations. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets and liabilities that may result in the Company not being able to continue as a going concern.
We expect to incur business development, sales and marketing, professional and administrative expenses as well expenses associated with maintaining our filings with the Commission. We will require additional funds during this time and will seek to raise the necessary additional capital. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, we may be required to reduce the scope of our business development activities, which could harm our business plans, financial condition and operating results. Additional funding may not be available on favorable terms, if at all. We intend to continue to fund its business by way of equity or debt financing and advances from related parties. Any inability to raise capital as needed would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
If we cannot raise additional funds, we will have to cease business operations. As a result, our common stock investors would lose all of their investment.
Material Cash Requirements
We incurred loss of $256,949 for the year ended December 31, 2024 and we expect to continue to incur net losses for the foreseeable future. We expect net cash expended in 2025 to be significantly higher than 2024. As of December 31, 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of $2,407,342. Our material cash requirements are highly dependent upon the additional financial support from our major shareholders and external financing in the next 12 - 18 months.
We had the following contractual obligations and commercial commitments as of December 31, 2024:
Contractual Obligations | Total | Less than 1 year | 1-3 Years | 3-5 Years | More than 5 Years | |||||||||||||||

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We are not party to any off-balance sheet transactions. We have no guarantees or obligations other than those which arise out of normal business operations.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates.
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires our management to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported, including the notes thereto, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any. We have identified certain accounting policies that are significant to the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. These accounting policies are important for an understanding of our financial condition and results of operations. Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations and require management's subjective or complex judgment, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to consolidated financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting the estimate may differ significantly from management's current judgments. We believe the following accounting policies are critical in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
· | Use of estimates and assumptions |
In preparing these consolidated financial statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the balance sheet and revenues and expenses during the years reported. Actual results may differ from these estimates. If actual results significantly differ from the Company’s estimates, the Company’s financial condition and results of operations could be materially impacted. Significant estimates in the period include the revenue recognition, allowance for Expected Credit Losses and deferred tax valuation allowance.
· | Basis of consolidation |
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of International Endeavors Corporation, ModuLink Investment Limited and its subsidiaries and associated company for which it is the primary beneficiary. Upon making this determination, the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of these entities, which are then required to be consolidated for financial reporting purpose. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Transactions involving entities under common control are accounted for using the merger accounting. The consolidated financial statements of the combining entities are presented as if the reorganization occurred at the beginning of the earliest reporting period presented.

46 |
· | Impairment of long-lived assets |
In accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 360, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, all long-lived assets such as plant and equipment and intangible assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is evaluated by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to its estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amounts of the assets exceed the fair value of the assets. There has been no impairment charge for the years presented.
· | Revenue recognition |
The Company derives a significant portion of revenues from contracts with its customers during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, predominantly by performing design and building services and project design and management services for both public and private projects, with an emphasis on commercial and residential developments.
In accordance with ASC 606, Revenue From Contracts with Customers, an entity recognizes revenue when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that are within the scope of the standard, the entity performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The standard requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The standard also includes criteria for the capitalization and amortization of certain contract acquisition and fulfillment costs.
Design and building services
Revenues derived from design and building services are recognized over time by using the cost-to-cost method to measure the progress towards the completion of the performance obligation as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits from the services rendered by the Company.as the Company satisfies its performance obligations by transferring control of the asset created or enhanced by the project to the customer. The contracts for design and building services are legally enforceable and binding agreements between the Company and customers. Recognition of revenues for construction projects requires significant judgment by management, including, among other things, estimating total costs expected to be incurred to complete a project and measuring progress toward completion. Management reviews contract estimates regularly to assess revisions of estimated costs to complete a project and for measurement of progress toward completion. No material adjustments to a contract were noted in the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.
The Company reviews and updates the estimated total costs of the contracts at least annually. Revisions to contract revenue and estimated total costs of the contracts are made in the period in which the facts and circumstances that cause the revision become known and are accounted for as changes in estimates. Management believes the Company maintains reasonable estimates based on prior experience; however, many factors contribute to changes in estimates of contract costs. Accordingly, estimates made with respect to uncompleted projects are subject to change as each project progresses and better estimates of contract costs become available. All contract costs are recorded as incurred, and revisions to estimated total costs are reflected as soon as the obligation to perform is determined. Provisions are recognized for the full amount of estimated losses on uncompleted contracts whenever evidence indicates that the estimated total cost of a contract exceeds its estimated total revenue, regardless of the stage of completion. When the Company incurs additional costs related to work performed by subcontractors, the Company may be able to utilize contractual provisions to back charge the subcontractors for those costs.
47 |
Revenue in excess of billings on the contracts is recorded as costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings. Billings in excess of revenues recognized on the contracts are recorded as deferred revenue until the above revenue recognition criteria are met. Recognition of accounts receivable and costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings are stated set out in Note 2(I) of International Endeavors Corporation of notes to consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.
If at any time the costs to complete the contract are estimated to exceed the remaining amount of the consideration under the contract, then a provision is recognized.
Project design and management services
Revenues derived from design and management services are recognized over time by using percentage of completion certified by engineer to measure the progress towards the completion of the performance obligation as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits from the services rendered by the Company. The contracts for design and building services are legally enforceable and binding agreements between the Company and customers.
· | Income taxes |
The Company adopted the ASC 740 “Income tax” provisions of paragraph 740-10-25-13, which addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the consolidated financial statements. Under paragraph 740-10-25-13, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent (50%) likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Paragraph 740-10-25-13 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. The Company had no material adjustments to its liabilities for unrecognized income tax benefits according to the provisions of paragraph 740-10-25-13.
The estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities are reported in the accompanying balance sheets, as well as tax credit carry-backs and carry-forwards. The Company periodically reviews the recoverability of deferred tax assets recorded on its balance sheets and provides valuation allowances as management deems necessary.
· | Uncertain tax positions |
The Company did not take any uncertain tax positions and had no adjustments to its income tax liabilities or benefits pursuant to the ASC 740 provisions of Section 740-10-25 for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.
· | Foreign currencies 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 consolidated statement of operations.
The reporting currency of the Company is United States Dollar ("US$") and the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been expressed in US$. In addition, the Company is operating in Hong Kong, and maintains its books and record in its local currencies, Hong Kong Dollars (“HKD”) respectively, which is a functional currency as being the primary currency of the economic environment in which their operations are conducted. In general, for consolidation purposes, assets and liabilities of its subsidiaries whose functional currency is not US$ are translated into US$, in accordance with ASC Topic 830-30, “Translation of Financial Statement”, using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the period. The gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements of foreign subsidiary are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the statements of changes in shareholders’ equity.
48 |
Translation of amounts from HKD into US$ has been made at the following exchange rates for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023:
December 31, 2024 | December 31, 2023 | |||||||
Year-end HKD:US$ exchange rate | 0.1282 | 0.1282 | ||||||
Average HKD:US$ exchange rate | 0.1282 | 0.1277 |
· | Comprehensive income |
ASC Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income”, establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income as defined includes all changes in equity during a period from non-owner sources. Accumulated other comprehensive income, as presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity, consists of changes in unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency translation. This comprehensive income is not included in the computation of income tax expense or benefit.
· | Related parties |
The Company follows the ASC 850-10, “Related Party Disclosures” for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.
Pursuant to section 850-10-20 the related parties include a) affiliates of the Company; b) entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of section 825-10-15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; c) trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and Income-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; d) principal owners of the Company; e) management of the Company; f) other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and g) other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.
The consolidated financial statements shall include disclosures of material related party transactions, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business. However, disclosure of transactions that are eliminated in the preparation of consolidated or combined financial statements is not required in those statements. The disclosures shall include: a) the nature of the relationship(s) involved; b) a description of the transactions, including transactions to which no amounts or nominal amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods for which income statements are presented, and such other information deemed necessary to an understanding of the effects of the transactions on the financial statements; c) the dollar amounts of transactions for each of the periods for which income statements are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms from that used in the preceding period; and d) amount due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented and, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement.
· | Fair value of financial instruments |
The Company follows paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and has adopted paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”) to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification are described below:
Level 1 | Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. | |
Level 2 | Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. | |
Level 3 | Pricing inputs that are generally observable inputs and not corroborated by market data. |
49 |
Financial assets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.
The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and cash equivalents, prepaid expense and other current assets, accrued liabilities and other payables, accrued consulting service fee, amounts due to related parties and income tax payable approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.
· | Recent accounting pronouncements |
In March 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No 2022-02, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures” (“ASU 2022-02”). ASU 2022-02 eliminates the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings by creditors while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancing and restructurings by creditors made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. In addition, the amendments require disclosure of current period gross write-offs for financing receivables and net investment in leases by year of origination in the vintage disclosures. ASU 2022-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Except for expanded disclosures to its vintage disclosures, ASU 2022-02 did not have a material effect on the Company’s current financial position, results of operations or financial statements.
In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU No 2023-06, “Disclosure Agreements – Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative” (“ASU 2023-06”). ASU 2023-06 will align the disclosure and presentation requirements in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification with the SEC’s regulations. The amendments in ASU 2023-06 will be applied prospectively and are effective when the SEC removes the related requirements from Regulations S-X or S-K. Any amendments the SEC does not remove by June 30, 2027 will not be effective. As the Company is currently subject to these SEC requirements, ASU 2023-06 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s current financial position, results of operations or financial statement disclosures.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-07”). ASU 2023-07 expands disclosures about a public entity’s reportable segments and requires more enhanced information about a reportable segment’s expenses, interim segment profit or loss, and how a public entity’s chief operating decision maker uses reported segment profit or loss information in assessing segment performance and allocating resources. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. ASU 2023-07 should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company does not expect ASU 2023-07 to have a material effect on the Company’s current financial position, results of operations or financial statement disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”). ASU 2023-09 expands disclosures in the rate reconciliation and requires disclosure of income taxes paid by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. ASU 2023-09 should be applied prospectively; however, retrospective application is permitted. The Company does not expect ASU 2023-09 to have a material effect on the Company’s current financial position, results of operations or financial statement disclosures.

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments Credit Losses (Topic 326), which requires entities to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost. This standard was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years with early adoption permitted. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10, Financial Instruments— Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) and Leases (Topic 842). Effective Dates, which defers the effective date of Topic 326. As a smaller reporting Company, Topic 326 will now be effective for the Company beginning January I, 2023. The Company adopted this ASU January I, 2023 and it did not have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 4 70- 20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity ’s Owner Equity (ASU 2020-06). ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity. Those instruments that do not have a separately recognized embedded conversion feature will no longer recognize a debt issuance discount related to such a conversion feature and would recognize less interest expense on a periodic basis. It also removes from ASC 815-40-25-10 certain conditions for equity classification and amends certain guidance in ASC Topic 260 on the computation of EPS for convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity. An entity can use either a full or modified retrospective approach to adopt the ASU’s guidance. As a smaller reporting Company, the Company is required to adopt this ASU for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2024, with early adoption permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this ASU January 1, 2022 and it did not have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt— Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 4 70-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging— Contracts in Entity’s’ Owen Equity (Subtopic 815-40) (ASU 2022-04). ASU 2022-04 updates current accounting guidance for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options that remain equity-classified after modification or exchange as an exchange of the original instrument for a new instrument. The ASU specifies that the effects of modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options that remain equity after modification or exchange should be recognized depending on the substance of the transaction, whether it be a financing transaction to raise equity (topic 340), to raise or modify debt (topic 470 and 835), or other modifications or exchanges. If the modification or exchange does not fall under topics 340, 470, or 835, an entity may be required to account for the effects of such modifications or exchanges as dividends which should adjust net income (or loss) in the basic EPS calculation. This guidance was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company is required to apply the amendments within this ASU prospectively to modifications or exchanges occurring on or after the effective date of the amendment. The Company adopted this ASU January I, 2023 and it did not have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In December 2023, FASB issued ASU 2023- 09, Income Taxes (Topic 740). Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (ASU 2023-09). The ASU focuses on income tax disclosures around effective tax rates and cash income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 requires public business entities to disclose, on an annual basis, a rate reconciliation presented in both dollars and percentages. The guidance requires the rate reconciliation to include specific categories and provides further guidance on disaggregation of those categories based on a quantitative threshold equal to 5% or more of the amount determined by multiplying pretax income (loss) from continuing operations by the applicable statutory rate. For entities reconciling to the US statutory rate of 21%, this would generally require disclosing any reconciling items that impact the rate by 1.05% or more. ASU 2023-09 is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after Dec. 15, 2024 (generally, calendar year 2025) and effective for all other business entities one year later. Entities should adopt this guidance on a prospective basis, though retrospective application is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2023-09 is expected to have a financial statement disclosure impact only and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Other pronouncements issued by the FASB or other authoritative accounting standards groups with future effective dates are either not applicable or are not expected to be significant to the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, total revenue was $429,096, consisting of $300,019 from design and build services and $129,077 from project design and management services. The design and build revenue relate primarily to the residential design, build, and project management engagement for a property in Hong Kong, which commenced in January 2025. The project design and management revenue of $129,077 was generated from ongoing services provided under the design services management agreement with Zenith HK. The approximately 275% increase in total revenue compared to the prior year period was primarily driven by these new and ongoing projects across both service segments. This growth demonstrates the Company’s strategic focus on expanding its service portfolio and strengthening its presence in key markets, while balancing capital intensity and operational risks.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of services were $379,550 and $103,467, for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 respectively. The increase was consistent with the corresponding growth in revenue recognized during these periods. The rise in costs is consistent with the onboarding of new projects and increased operational efforts to support our expanding service portfolio.
Gross Profit
We achieved a gross profit of $49,546 and $11,020 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase in gross profit during the current period is primarily attributable to the addition of income from project design and management services, which contributed to higher overall revenue and improved profitability.
General and administrative expenses (“G&A expenses”)
General and administrative expenses of $247,113 and $7,858 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. These expenses primarily include advertising and marketing expenses, business development, professional and consultancy fees, personnel related expenses, as well as costs incurred in connection with general operations of the Company. The significant increase in general and administrative expenses during the current period was primarily driven by the continued expansion of our subsidiaries, which resulted in higher operational and staffing costs. Additionally, the Company incurred substantial professional fees related to the business combination process, including legal, advisory, and due diligence expenses. These investments reflect the Company’s strategic efforts to support growth initiatives and strengthen its operational infrastructure.
Income Tax Expense
We incurred income tax expense of $8,822 and $1,809 during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company’s subsidiaries operating in Hong Kong are subject to the Hong Kong Profits Tax at the two-tiered profits tax rates from 8.25% to 16.5% on the estimated assessable profits derived during the current period, after deducting a tax concession for the tax year.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, net cash used in operating activities was $36,711, was primarily due to the decrease in accounts payable and contract liabilities of $46,857 and 86,735, respectively, partly offset by the decrease in accounts receivable of $82,545.
Net Cash Used In Investing Activities
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, net cash used in investing activities of $2,100 was related to the purchase of equipment.
No investing activities incurred for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities

Working Capital
As of March 31, 2025, our cash and cash equivalents amounted to $236,798 and our working capital was $589,148. The increase was attributable to the proceeds from share issuance in a subsidiary.
We expect to incur significantly greater expenses in the near future as we are expanding our business in various geographical locations.
We also expect our business development, sales and marketing expenses to increase as we would spend more efforts in building up customers, exploring new projects and sales network, and incur additional costs in professional and consultancy fees, administrative expenses associated with our corporate restructurings and filings with the Commission.

Item 6. | Executive Compensation |
Compensation Philosophy and Objectives
Our executive compensation philosophy is to create a long-term direct relationship between pay and our performance. Our executive compensation program is designed to provide a balanced total compensation package over the executive’s career with us. The compensation program objectives are to attract, motivate and retain the qualified executives that help ensure our future success, to provide incentives for increasing our profits by awarding executives when corporate goals are achieved and to align the interests of executives and long-term stockholders. The compensation package of our named executive officers consists of two main elements:
1. | base salary for our executives that is competitive relative to the market, and that reflects individual performance, retention and other relevant considerations; and | |
2. | discretionary bonus awards payable in cash and tied to the satisfaction of corporate objectives. |
Process for Setting Executive Compensation
Until such time as we establish a Compensation Committee, our Board is responsible for developing and overseeing the implementation of our philosophy with respect to the compensation of executives and for monitoring the implementation and results of the compensation philosophy to ensure compensation remains competitive, creates proper incentives to enhance stockholder value and rewards superior performance. We expect to annually review and approve for each named executive officer, and particularly with regard to the Chief Executive Officer, all components of the executive’s compensation. We process and factors (including individual and corporate performance measures and actual performance versus such measures) used by the Chief Executive Officer to recommend such awards. Additionally, we expect to review and approve the base salary, equity-incentive awards (if any) and any other special or supplemental benefits of the named executive officers.
The Chief Executive Officer periodically provides the Board with an evaluation of each named executive officer’s performance, based on the individual performance goals and objectives developed by the Chief Executive Officer at the beginning of the year, as well as other factors. The Board provides an evaluation for the Chief Executive Officer. These evaluations serve as the bases for bonus recommendations and changes in the compensation arrangements of our named executives.
Our Compensation Peer Group
We currently engage in informal market analysis in evaluating our executive compensation arrangements. As the Company and its businesses mature, we may retain compensation consultants that will assist us in developing a formal benchmark and selecting a compensation peer group of companies similar to us in size or business for the purpose of comparing executive compensation levels.
Program Components
Our executive compensation program consists of the following elements:
Base Salary
Our base salary structure is designed to encourage internal growth, attract and retain new talent, and reward strong leadership that will sustain our growth and profitability. The base salary for each named executive officer reflects our past and current operating profits, the named executive officer’s individual contribution to our success throughout his career, internal pay equity and informal market data regarding comparable positions within similarly situated companies. In determining and setting base salary, the Board considers all of these factors, though it does not assign specific weights to any factor. The Board generally reviews the base salary for each named executive officer on an annual basis. For each of our named executive officers, we review base salary data internally obtained by the Company for comparable executive positions in similarly situated companies to ensure that the base salary rate for each executive is competitive relative to the market.
59 |
Discretionary Bonus
The objectives of our bonus awards are to encourage and reward our employees, including the named executive officers, who contribute to and participate in our success by their ability, industry, leadership, loyalty or exceptional service and to recruit additional executives who will contribute to that success.

Compensation Risk Management
Our Board of directors and human resources staff conducted an assessment of potential risks that may arise from our compensation programs.

The assessment included our cash incentive programs, which awards executives with cash bonuses on successful of business projects. Our compensation programs are substantially identical among business units, corporate functions and global locations (with modifications to comply with local regulations as appropriate). The risk-mitigating factors considered in this assessment included:
· | the alignment of pay philosophy, peer group companies and compensation amounts relative to local competitive practices to support our business objectives; and | |
· | effective balance of cash, short- and long-term performance periods, caps on performance-based award schedules and financial metrics with individual factors and Board and management discretion. |

Director Independence
Though not a listed company, we intend to adhere to the corporate governance standards adopted by NASDAQ. NASDAQ rules require our Board to make an affirmative determination as to the independence of each director. Consistent with these rules, our Board conducted its annual review of director independence. During the review, our Board considered relationships and transactions since incorporation between each director or any member of her immediate family, on the one hand, and us and our subsidiaries and affiliates, on the other hand. The purpose of this review was to determine whether any such relationships or transactions were inconsistent with a determination that the director is independent. Based on this review, our Board determined that WONG, Ho Man Alex and FUNG, Kwai Kin are independent directors under the criteria established by NASDAQ and by our Board.
Item 8. | Legal Proceedings |
We are not involved in any litigation that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of our executive officers, threatened against or affecting our company or our officers or directors in their capacities as such.

Rule 144
Shares of our common stock that are restricted securities will be eligible for resale in compliance with Rule 144 (“Rule 144”) of the Securities Act, subject to the requirements described below. “Restricted Securities,” as defined under Rule 144, were issued and sold by us in reliance on exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. These shares may be sold in the public market only if registered or if they qualify for an exemption from registration, such as Rule 144. Below is a summary of the requirements for sales of our common stock pursuant to Rule 144, as in effect on the date of this Form 10, after the effectiveness of this Form 10.
Affiliates
Affiliates will be able to sell their shares under Rule 144 beginning 90 days after the effectiveness of this Form 10, subject to all other requirements of Rule 144. In general, under Rule 144, an affiliate would be entitled to sell within any three-month period a number of shares that does not exceed one percent of the number of shares of our common stock then outstanding. Sales under Rule 144 are also subject to manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of current public information about us.
Persons who may be deemed to be our affiliates generally include individuals or entities that control, or are controlled by, or are under common control with, us and may include our directors and officers, as well as our significant stockholders.
Non-Affiliates
For a person who has not been deemed to have been one of our affiliates at any time during the 90 days preceding a sale, sales of our shares of common stock held longer than six months, but less than one year, will be subject only to the current public information requirement and can be sold under Rule 144 beginning 90 days after the effectiveness of this Form 10. A person who is not deemed to have been one of our affiliates at any time during the 90 days preceding a sale, and who has beneficially owned the shares proposed to be sold for at least one year, is entitled to sell the shares without complying with the manner of sale, public information, volume limitation or notice provisions of Rule 144 upon the effectiveness of this Form 10.

Item 10. | Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities |
On March 28, 2025, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange”) of all the issued and outstanding shares with the shareholders of ModuLink Investment Limited (hereafter referred to as, ModuLink), a British Virgin Islands limited liability company. ModuLink and its subsidiaries engage in the property development industry adopting modular construction technology by leveraging Modular Integrated Construction (MiC), Atmospheric Water Generators (AWG), and Internet of Things (IoT) technology enhanced by AI to redefine property development. Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company issued 2,356,712,066 shares of common stock, at a valuation of $0.0034 per share, in exchange for all the issued and outstanding shares with the shareholders of ModuLink. The Company relied on the exemption from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of, and Regulation D and/or Regulation S promulgated under the Act in selling the Company’s securities to the shareholders of ModuLink. The Share Exchange was consummated on May 1, 2025.
The foregoing description of the Share Exchange Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Share Exchange Agreement which is filed as Exhibit 10.5 to this Registration Statement and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 11. | Description of Registrant’s Securities to Be Registered |
The following description summarizes the material terms of our capital stock as of the date of this registration statement. Because it is only a summary, it does not contain all the information that may be important to you. For a complete description of our capital stock, you should refer to our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and our Bylaws, and to the provisions of applicable Nevada law.
Common Stock
We are authorized to issue up to four billion (4,000,000,000) shares of common stock, par value $0.001. Each share of common stock entitles the holder to one (1) vote on each matter submitted to a vote of our shareholders, including the election of Directors. There is no cumulative voting. Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any outstanding preferred stock, our Shareholders are entitled to receive ratably such dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the Board of Directors. Shareholders have no preemptive, conversion or other subscription rights. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions related to the common stock. In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, our Shareholders are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of liabilities, subject to prior distribution rights of preferred stock, if any, then outstanding.
Preferred Stock
We are authorized to issue up to ten million (10,000,000) shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001, issuable in one series as may be determined by the Board. Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series as determined by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion. On October 3, 2017, the Board designated a class of Preferred Stock as the “Preferred A Stock,” par value $0.001, with 50,000 authorized shares, and a class of Preferred Stock as the “Preferred B Stock,” par value $0.001, with 5,000,000 authorized shares. On December 11, 2023, the Board increased the amount of preferred stock designated as Preferred A Stock from 50,000 authorized shares to 500,000 authorized shares with each one Preferred A Stock voting as 10,000 shares of common stock. Concurrently, therewith, the Board also eliminated the Preferred B Stock. On February 7, 2025, the Board amended and restated our Articles of Incorporation, which among other things, amended and restated the rights, preferences, privileges, powers and restrictions of the Preferred A Stock as set forth below and confirmed the cancellation of the Preferred B Stock.
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
On February 7, 2025, the Board changed the name of the Preferred A Stock to “the Series A Convertible Preferred” stock. The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock has a par value of $0.001 and 500,000 authorized shares, of which 200,000 are issued and outstanding.
67 |
Currently, holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are: (i) entitled to receive dividends or other distributions and rank prior to the Company’s Common Stock as to distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution; (ii) entitled to vote on all matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders together with the Common Stock holders with each one share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock having 20,000 votes; (iii) entitled to convert Series A Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock with each one share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock be converted to 20,000 shares of Common Stock.
Redemption. The Corporation is not entitled to redeem shares of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.
Options
We have no options to purchase shares of our common stock or any other of our securities outstanding as of the date of this Prospectus.
Warrants
We have no warrants to purchase shares of our common stock or any other of our securities outstanding as of the date of this Prospectus.

Anti-takeover Effects of Our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws
Our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws contain certain provisions that may have anti-takeover effects, making it more difficult for or preventing a third party from acquiring control of the Company or changing our board of directors and management. According to our bylaws and articles of incorporation, neither the holders of our common stock nor the holders of our preferred stock have cumulative voting rights in the election of our directors.
· | No Cumulative Voting. The Nevada Revised Statutes provide that stockholders are not entitled to the right to cumulate votes in the election of directors unless a corporation’s certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Our Restated Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws do not provide for cumulative voting. The combination of the present ownership by a few stockholders of a significant portion of our issued and outstanding common stock and lack of cumulative voting makes it more difficult for other stockholders to replace our board of directors or for a third party to obtain control of the Company by replacing its board of directors. | |
· | Issuance of “Blank Check” Preferred Stock. Our board of directors has the authority, without further action by the stockholders, to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of “blank check” preferred stock with rights and preferences, including voting rights, designated from time to time by our board of directors. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock enables our board of directors to render more difficult or to discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest, or otherwise; | |
· | Bylaws Amendments Without Stockholder Approval. Our Amended and Restated Articles provide our directors with the power to adopt, amend or repeal our bylaws without stockholder approval except that the Board of Directors shall have no power to change the quorum for meetings of stockholders or of the Board of Directors or to change any provisions of the bylaws with respect to the removal of directors of the filling of vacancies in the Board resulting from the removal by the stockholders. | |
· | Broad Indemnity. We are permitted to indemnify directors and officers against losses that they may incur in investigations and legal proceedings resulting from their services to us, which may include services in connection with takeover defense measures. This provision may make it more difficult to remove directors and officers and delay a change in control of our management. |

Anti-takeover Effects of Nevada Law
Business Combinations
The “business combination” provisions of Sections 78.411 to 78.444, inclusive, of the Nevada Revised Statutes, or NRS, generally prohibit a Nevada corporation with at least 200 stockholders from engaging in various “combination” transactions with any interested stockholder for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless the transaction is approved by the board of directors prior to the date the interested stockholder obtained such status; and extends beyond the expiration of the three-year period, unless:
· | the transaction was approved by the board of directors prior to the person becoming an interested stockholder or is later approved by a majority of the voting power held by disinterested stockholders, or | |
· | if the consideration to be paid by the interested stockholder is at least equal to the highest of: (a) the highest price per share paid by the interested stockholder within the three years immediately preceding the date of the announcement of the combination or in the transaction in which it became an interested stockholder, whichever is higher, (b) the market value per share of common stock on the date of announcement of the combination and the date the interested stockholder acquired the shares, whichever is higher, or (c) for holders of preferred stock, the highest liquidation value of the preferred stock, if it is higher. |
A “combination” is generally defined to include mergers or consolidations or any sale, lease exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer or other disposition, in one transaction or a series of transactions, with an “interested stockholder” having: (a) an aggregate market value equal to 5% or more of the aggregate market value of the assets of the corporation, (b) an aggregate market value equal to 5% or more of the aggregate market value of all outstanding shares of the corporation, (c) 10% or more of the earning power or net income of the corporation, and (d) certain other transactions with an interested stockholder or an affiliate or associate of an interested stockholder.
In general, an “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns (or within three years, did own) 10% or more of a corporation’s voting stock. The statute could prohibit or delay mergers or other takeover or change in control attempts and, accordingly, may discourage attempts to acquire our company even though such a transaction may offer our stockholders the opportunity to sell their stock at a price above the prevailing market price.
Because we have less than 200 shareholders of record, these “business combination” provisions do not currently apply to us. Our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation state that we have elected not to be governed by the “business combination” provisions.
Control Share Acquisitions
The “control share” provisions of Sections 78.378 to 78.3793, inclusive, of the NRS apply to “issuing corporations,” which are Nevada corporations with at least 200 stockholders, including at least 100 stockholders of record who are Nevada residents, and which conduct business directly or indirectly in Nevada. The control share statute prohibits an acquirer, under certain circumstances, from voting its shares of a target corporation’s stock after crossing certain ownership threshold percentages, unless the acquirer obtains approval of the target corporation’s disinterested stockholders. The statute specifies three thresholds: one-fifth or more but less than one-third, one-third but less than a majority, and a majority or more, of the outstanding voting power. Generally, once an acquirer crosses one of the above thresholds, those shares in an offer or acquisition and acquired within 90 days thereof become “control shares” and such control shares are deprived of the right to vote until disinterested stockholders restore the right.
These provisions also provide that if control shares are accorded full voting rights and the acquiring person has acquired a majority or more of all voting power, all other stockholders who do not vote in favor of authorizing voting rights to the control shares are entitled to demand payment for the fair value of their shares in accordance with statutory procedures established for dissenters’ rights.
69 |
The effect of the Nevada control share statutes is that the acquiring person, and those acting in association with the acquiring person, will obtain only such voting rights in the control shares as are conferred by a resolution of the disinterested stockholders at an annual or special meeting. The Nevada control share law, if applicable, could have the effect of discouraging takeovers of our company.
A corporation may elect to not be governed by, or “opt out” of, the control share provisions by making an election in its articles of incorporation or bylaws, provided that the opt-out election must be in place on the 10th day following the date an acquiring person has acquired a controlling interest, that is, crossing any of the three thresholds described above. Our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation state that we have elected not to be governed by the “control share” provisions.
Item 12. | Indemnification of Directors and Officers |
Subsection 7 of Section 78.138 of the Nevada Revised Statutes (the “Nevada Law”) provides that, subject to certain very limited statutory exceptions, a director or officer is not individually liable to the corporation or its stockholders or creditors for any damages as a result of any act or failure to act in his or her capacity as a director or officer, unless it is proven that the act or failure to act constituted a breach of his or her fiduciary duties as a director or officer and such breach of those duties involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law. The statutory standard of liability established by Section 78.138 controls even if there is a provision in the corporation's articles of incorporation unless a provision in the Company's Articles of Incorporation provides for greater individual liability.
Subsection 1 of Section 78.7502 of the Nevada Law empowers a corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (any such person, a “Covered Person”), against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the Covered Person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if the Covered Person is not liable pursuant to Section 78.138 of the Nevada Law or the Covered Person acted in good faith and in a manner the Covered Person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceedings, had no reasonable cause to believe the Covered Person's conduct was unlawful.
Subsection 2 of Section 78.7502 of the Nevada Law empowers a corporation to indemnify any Covered Person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person acted in the capacity of a Covered Person against expenses, including amounts paid in settlement and attorneys' fees actually and reasonably incurred by the Covered Person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit, if the Covered Person is not liable pursuant to Section 78.138 of the Nevada Law or the Covered Person acted in good faith and in a manner the Covered Person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company. However, no indemnification may be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which the Covered Person shall have been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction (after exhaustion of all appeals) to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances the Covered Person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper.
Section 78.7502 of the Nevada Law further provides that to the extent a Covered Person has been successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Subsection 1 or 2, as described above, or in the defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the corporation shall indemnify the Covered Person against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the Covered Person in connection with the defense.
70 |
Subsection 1 of Section 78.751 of the Nevada Law provides that any discretionary indemnification pursuant to Section 78.7502 of the Nevada Law, unless ordered by a court or advanced pursuant to Subsection 2 of Section 78.751, may be made by a corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the Covered Person is proper in the circumstances. Such determination must be made (a) by the stockholders, (b) by the board of directors of the corporation by majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding, (c) if a majority vote of a quorum of such non-party directors so orders, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (d) by independent legal counsel in a written opinion if a quorum of such non-party directors cannot be obtained.
Subsection 2 of Section 78.751 of the Nevada Law provides that a corporation's articles of incorporation or bylaws or an agreement made by the corporation may require the corporation to pay as incurred and in advance of the final disposition of a criminal or civil action, suit or proceeding, the expenses of officers and directors in defending such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt by the corporation of an undertaking by or on behalf of the officer or director to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation. Subsection 2 of Section 78.751 further provides that its provisions do not affect any rights to advancement of expenses to which corporate personnel other than officers and directors may be entitled under contract or otherwise by law.
Subsection 3 of Section 78.751 of the Nevada Law provides that indemnification pursuant to Section 78.7502 of the Nevada Law and advancement of expenses authorized in or ordered by a court pursuant to Section 78.751 does not exclude any other rights to which the Covered Person may be entitled under the articles of incorporation or any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, for either an action in his or her official capacity or in another capacity while holding his or her office. However, indemnification, unless ordered by a court pursuant to Section 78.7502 or for the advancement of expenses under Subsection 2 of Section 78.751 of the Nevada Law, may not be made to or on behalf of any director or officer of the corporation if a final adjudication establishes that his or her acts or omissions involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of the law and were material to the cause of action. Additionally, the scope of such indemnification and advancement of expenses shall continue for a Covered Person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, successors, assigns, executors, and legal representatives.
Section 78.752 of the Nevada Law empowers a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance or make other financial arrangements on behalf of a Covered Person for any liability asserted against such person and liabilities and expenses incurred by such person in his or her capacity as a Covered Person or arising out of such person's status as a Covered Person whether or not the corporation has the authority to indemnify such person against such liability and expenses.
Our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation provide that the liability of our directors and officers shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada Law. In addition, our Restated Articles of Incorporation and our Bylaws also provide that we will indemnify our directors and may indemnify our other officers and employees and other agents to the fullest extent permitted by law. Our Restated Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that the expenses of directors and officers of the Company incurred in defending any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, must be paid by the Company as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay all amounts so advanced if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company.
This limitation of liability does not apply to liabilities arising under the federal securities laws and does not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission.

NOTE 1 | ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES |
International Endeavors Corporation (the “Company” or “IDVV”) is a holding company incorporated in the State of Nevada on May 7, 2014.
Change in Control
On January 22, 2025, Raymond Valdez, the sole executive officer and director of the Company entered into the Stock Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which Mr. Valdez agreed to sell (the “Sale”) to ModuLink Inc., a British Virgin Islands corporation, and Zenith (Hong Kong) Engineering Limited, a Hong Kong corporation, 200,000 shares of Preferred A shares, representing all of the issued and outstanding shares of Preferred A, and the transfer of certain promissory notes of the Company held by third parties. The Sale was consummated on February 10, 2025 and resulted in ModuLink Inc. obtaining voting and operational control of IDVV. Concurrently, the directors of ModuLink Inc., Mr. TAM, Hin Wah Anthony, Mr. FU, Wah and Mr. AU-YEUNG Sai Kit, were appointed as the executive officers and directors of the Company and Raymond Valdez resigned as the sole executive officer and director.
Share Exchange for Acquisition of ModuLink Investment Limited
On March 28, 2025, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange”) with the shareholders of ModuLink Investment Limited (hereafter referred to as, MIL), a British Virgin Islands limited liability company. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company agreed to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of MIL by issuing a total of 2,356,712,066 shares of common stock. This Share Exchange was consummated on May 1, 2025, and MIL became a 100% owned subsidiary of the Company. The original business of former shareholder was disposed in full on May 1, 2025, simultaneously with the closing of the Share Exchange.
MIL is a holding company which was incorporated on March 13, 2025 in the British Virgin Islands. On March 25, 2025, MIL completed a group restructuring through a share exchange transaction with the shareholders of ModuLink Corporation Limited (“MCL”), a company incorporated in Hong Kong. MCL is the holding company of the entire equity interests in its subsidiaries including Zenith Integrated Modular Limited (“ZIML”), Zenith AY Modular Buildings Company Limited (“ZAMBCL”) and ModuLink InnoTech Company Limited (“MICL”). Details of the Company’s principal subsidiaries as of March 31, 2025 are described in Note 3 – Subsidiaries. Upon the completion of the share exchange, MIL became the parent holding company of MCL.
MIL together with MCL and its subsidiaries and associated company (collectively the “ModuLink Group”) are primarily engaged in property development construction and design services by implementing modular integrated construction technology (“MiC”), embedded with our proprietary atmospheric water generators (“AWG”) and property management system by internet of things technology (“IoT”). The headquarter of ModuLink Group is located in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC” or “China”).
Following the Share Exchange, ModuLink Group became the primary operating business of the Company.

(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 | ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES (CONTINUED) |
Merger of Entities under Common Control and Reverse Recapitalization
Prior to the Share Exchange, the Company was considered as a shell company due to its nominal assets and limited operation. The Share Exchange was part of a planned sequence of integrated transactions beginning with the February 2025 change in control and culminating in the May 2025 acquisition of MIL.
The Share Exchange is accounted for as a merger of entities under common control in accordance with ASC 805-50, as Mr. TAM, Hin Wah Anthony, Mr. FU, Wah and Mr. AU-YEUNG Sai Kit, who collectively control 100% of ModuLink Inc. and 60% of MIL, exercised continuous and effective control over both entities throughout the transaction period. The same individuals served as directors and majority shareholders of both IDVV and MIL after the change of control in February 2025, and coordinated the Share Exchange as part of a single strategic plan to reorganize MIL under a public entity. Upon the consummation of acquisition on May 1, 2025, MIL became the ongoing operating entity of the Company.
Accordingly, the transaction is accounted for as a reverse recapitalization of the Company, with MIL deemed the accounting acquirer and the Company treated as the accounting acquiree for financial reporting purposes. Under the guidance in Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) Topic 805, for transactions between entities under common control, the assets, liabilities and results of operations, are recognized at their carrying amounts as of the consummation date of the Share Exchange. This accounting treatment requires a retrospective presentation and combination of the consolidated financial statements as if the share exchange and disposal of original business had occurred and the current group structure had existed at the beginning of the earliest reporting period presented. Accordingly, the historical financial statements of the Company reflect those of the accounting acquirer, i.e. the ModuLink Group, prior to the transaction, accompanied by a recapitalization of the Company’s equity structure.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company and ModuLink Group (collectively referred to the “Group”) generated revenues exclusively from modular building construction and design services business.
Going Concern
The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or U.S. GAAP, applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred losses of $206,876 and has net cash used in operating activities of $811,255 for the three months ended March 31, 2025. In addition, as at the reporting date, the Company has accumulated deficit of $3,056,607. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s plans regarding those concerns are addressed in the following paragraph. The accompany consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
The Company plans to secure additional funding to support its current operations, expected future growth and strategic objectives. Management is actively pursuing financing opportunities through debt and equity transactions, as well as exploring new development projects and accelerating the commercialization of its products. If successfully executed, these initiatives are expected to generate positive operating cash flows and improve the Company’s financial position.
Based on management’s best estimates, the Company believes it has sufficient financial resources to meet its obligations for at least the next twelve months.

NOTE 2 | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
(A) Basis of Presentation and Preparation
These consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and are expressed in United States dollars. In the opinion of management, the Company has made all necessary adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments, for a fair statement of the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations for the periods presented. Certain information and disclosure included in these interim consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2024. The results for the three months periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year, any other interim periods or future years or periods.
(B) Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of International Endeavors Corporation, ModuLink Investment Limited and its subsidiaries and associated companies for which it is the primary beneficiary. Upon making this determination, the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of these entities, which are then required to be consolidated for financial reporting purpose. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Transactions involving entities under common control are accounted for using the merger accounting. The consolidated financial statements of the combining entities are presented as if the reorganization occurred at the beginning of the earliest reporting period presented. No gain or loss is recognized in the consolidated financial statements as a result of the reorganization. The historical financial information of all entities under common control is combined retroactively for all periods presented. The financial statements reflect consistent accounting policies and principles across all entities.
(C) Use of Estimates
The Company’s consolidated financial statements require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Estimates are used when accounting for certain items such as accounting for income tax valuation allowances. Estimates are based on historical experience, where applicable, and assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved with estimates, actual results may differ.

Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement dated January 22, 2025, the two convertible promissory notes of the Company in the principal amounts of $65,000 and $75,000, respectively were purchased and assigned to Zenith (HK) on January 30, 2025. The notes were originally convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock in accordance with the terms set forth therein. On February 28, 2025, Zenith (HK) waived all rights to convert the outstanding principal amount and any accrued but unpaid interest under the two convertible promissory notes into equity securities of the Company.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of International Endeavors Corporation.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of International Endeavors Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated 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 in the period ended December 31, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. 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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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 supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024 AND 2023
NOTE 1 | ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES |
International Endeavors Corporation (the “Company” or “IDVV”) is a holding company incorporated in the State of Nevada on May 7, 2014.
Change in Control
On January 22, 2025, Raymond Valdez, the sole executive officer and director of the Company entered into the Stock Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which Mr. Valdez agreed to sell (the “Sale”) to ModuLink Inc., a British Virgin Islands corporation, and Zenith (Hong Kong) Engineering Limited, a Hong Kong corporation, 200,000 shares of Preferred A shares, representing all of the issued and outstanding shares of Preferred A, and the transfer of certain promissory notes of the Company held by third parties. The Sale was consummated on February 10, 2025 and resulted in ModuLink Inc. obtaining voting and operational control of IDVV. Concurrently, the directors of ModuLink Inc., Mr. TAM, Hin Wah Anthony, Mr. FU, Wah and Mr. AU-YEUNG Sai Kit, were appointed as the executive officers and directors of the Company and Raymond Valdez resigned as the sole executive officer and director.
Share Exchange for Acquisition of ModuLink Investment Limited
On March 28, 2025, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange”) with the shareholders of ModuLink Investment Limited (hereafter referred to as, MIL), a British Virgin Islands limited liability company. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company agreed to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of MIL by issuing a total of 2,356,712,066 shares of common stock. This Share Exchange was consummated on May 1, 2025, and MIL became a 100% owned subsidiary of the Company. The original business of former shareholder was disposed in full on May 1, 2025, simultaneously with the closing of the Share Exchange.
MIL is a holding company which was incorporated on March 13, 2025 in the British Virgin Islands. On March 25, 2025, MIL completed a group restructuring through a share exchange transaction with the shareholders of ModuLink Corporation Limited (“MCL”), a company incorporated in Hong Kong. MCL is the holding company of the entire equity interests in its subsidiaries including Zenith Integrated Modular Limited (“ZIML”), Zenith AY Modular Buildings Company Limited (“ZAMBCL”) and ModuLink InnoTech Company Limited (“MICL”). Details of the Company’s principal subsidiaries as of December 31, 2024 are described in Note 3 – Subsidiaries. Upon the completion of the share exchange, MIL became the parent holding company of MCL.
MIL together with MCL and its subsidiaries and associated company (collectively the “ModuLink Group”) are primarily engaged in property development construction and design services by implementing modular integrated construction technology (“MiC”), embedded with our proprietary atmospheric water generators (“AWG”) and property management system by internet of things technology (“IoT”). The headquarter of ModuLink Group is located in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC” or “China”).
Following the Share Exchange, ModuLink Group became the primary operating business of the Company.
Merger of Entities under Common Control and Reverse Recapitalization
Prior to the Share Exchange, the Company was considered as a shell company due to its nominal assets and limited operation. The Share Exchange was part of a planned sequence of integrated transactions beginning with the February 2025 change in control and culminating in the May 2025 acquisition of MIL.
The Share Exchange is accounted for as a merger of entities under common control in accordance with ASC 805-50, as Mr. TAM, Hin Wah Anthony, Mr. FU, Wah and Mr. AU-YEUNG Sai Kit, who collectively control 100% of ModuLink Inc. and 60% of MIL, exercised continuous and effective control over both entities throughout the transaction period. The same individuals served as directors and majority shareholders of both IDVV and MIL after the change of control in February 2025, and coordinated the Share Exchange as part of a single strategic plan to reorganize MIL under a public entity. Upon the consummation of acquisition on May 1, 2025, MIL became the ongoing operating entity of the Company.

INTERNATIONAL ENDEAVORS CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024 AND 2023
NOTE 1 | ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES (CONTINUED) |
Accordingly, the transaction is accounted for as a reverse recapitalization of the Company, with MIL deemed the accounting acquirer and the Company treated as the accounting acquiree for financial reporting purposes. Under the guidance in Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) Topic 805, for transactions between entities under common control, the assets, liabilities and results of operations, are recognized at their carrying amounts as of the consummation date of the Share Exchange. This accounting treatment requires a retrospective presentation and combination of the consolidated financial statements as if the share exchange and disposal of original business had occurred and the current group structure had existed at the beginning of the earliest reporting period presented. Accordingly, the historical financial statements of the Company reflect those of the accounting acquirer, i.e. the ModuLink Group, prior to the transaction, accompanied by a recapitalization of the Company’s equity structure.
During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company and ModuLink Group (collectively referred to the “Group”) generated revenues exclusively from modular building construction and design services business.
Going Concern
The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or U.S. GAAP, applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred losses of $283,378 and has net cash used in operating activities of $345,193 for the year ended December 31, 2024. In addition, as at the reporting date, the Company has accumulated deficit of $2,849,731. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s plans regarding those concerns are addressed in the following paragraph. The accompany consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
The Company plans to secure additional funding to support its current operations, expected future growth and strategic objectives. Management is actively pursuing financing opportunities through debt and equity transactions, as well as exploring new development projects and accelerating the commercialization of its products. If successfully executed, these initiatives are expected to generate positive operating cash flows and improve the Company’s financial position.
Based on management’s best estimates, the Company believes it has sufficient financial resources to meet its obligations for at least the next twelve months.

NOTE 2 | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) |
Transactions involving entities under common control are accounted for using the merger accounting. The consolidated financial statements of the combining entities are presented as if the reorganization occurred at the beginning of the earliest reporting period presented. No gain or loss is recognized in the consolidated financial statements as a result of the reorganization. The historical financial information of all entities under common control is combined retroactively for all periods presented. The financial statements reflect consistent accounting policies and principles across all entities.
(C) Use of Estimates
The Company’s consolidated financial statements require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Estimates are used when accounting for certain items such as accounting for income tax valuation allowances. Estimates are based on historical experience, where applicable, and assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved with estimates, actual results may differ.
(D) Cash
Cash includes cash on hand, cash accounts, and interest-bearing savings accounts placed with banks and financial institutions. For the purposes of the statements of cash flow, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.
(E) Fixed Assets, Net
Equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis, less estimated residual values over the assets’ estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives are as follows:
Office equipment |
3 years |
Furniture and fixtures | 3 years |
Leasehold improvement | 3 years |
When equipment is retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost, accumulated depreciation and provision for impairment loss, if any, are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is reflected in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Repairs and maintenance costs on equipment are expensed as incurred.

(F) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets, such as equipment, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstance indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of a long-lived asset exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated from the asset’s use and eventual disposition. An impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset calculated using a undiscounted cash flow analysis. There was no impairment of long-lived assets for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.
(G) Accounts Receivable Net of Allowance for Expected Credit Losses
Accounts receivable primarily represents revenue recognized that was not invoiced at the balance sheet date and is primarily billed and collected in the following month. Trade accounts receivable are carried at the original invoiced amount less an estimated allowance for expected credit losses based on the probability of future collection. Management determines the adequacy of the allowance based on historical loss patterns, the number of days that customer invoices are past due, reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions to inform adjustments over historical loss data, and an evaluation of the potential risk of loss associated with specific accounts. When management becomes aware of circumstances that may further decrease the likelihood of collection, it records a specific allowance against amounts due, which reduces the receivable to the amount that management reasonably believes will be collected. The Company records changes in the estimate to the allowance for expected credit losses through provision for expected credit losses and reverses the allowance after the potential for recovery is considered remote.
(H) Contract Assets Including Retainage, Net
Contract assets are generally based on amounts billed and currently due from customers, amounts currently due but unbilled and amounts retained by customers pending satisfactory completion of a project. It is common in the Company’s industry for a small portion of either progress billings or the contract price, typically 5%, to be withheld by the customer until the Company completes a project to the satisfaction of the customer in accordance with the applicable contract terms. Such amounts, defined as retainage, are included on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as “Contract assets including retainage, net.” Based on the Company’s experience with similar contracts in recent years, billings for such retainage balances are generally collected within one year of the completion of the project.
Contract assets including retainage, net is stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances. Management provides for uncollectible accounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to the allowance for doubtful accounts based on its assessment of the current status of individual accounts, type of service performed, current economic conditions, historical losses and other information available to management. Balances that are still outstanding after management has used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the allowance for doubtful accounts and an adjustment to the contract receivable.

NOTE 2 | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) |
(I) Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities
Billing practices for the Company’s contracts are governed by the contract terms of each project based on (i) progress toward completion approved by the owner, (ii) achievement of milestones or (iii) pre-agreed schedules. Billings do not necessarily correlate with revenues recognized under the cost-to-cost input method. The Company records contract assets and contract liabilities to account for these differences in timing.
The contract asset, “Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts,” arises when the Company recognizes revenues for services performed under its construction projects, but the Company is not yet entitled to bill the customer under the terms of the contract. Amounts billed to customers are excluded from this asset and reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as “Contract assets including retainage, net.” Included in costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts are amounts the Company seeks or will seek to collect from customers or others for (i) errors, (ii) changes in contract specifications or design, (iii) contract change orders in dispute, unapproved as to scope and price, or (iv) other customer-related causes of unanticipated additional contract costs (such as claims). Such amounts are recorded to the extent that the amount can be reasonably estimated and recovery is probable. Claims and unapproved change orders made by the Company may involve negotiation and, in rare cases, litigation. Unapproved change orders and claims also involve the use of estimates, and revenues associated with unapproved change orders and claims are included in the transaction price for which it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty is resolved. The Company did not recognize any material amounts associated with claims and unapproved change orders during the periods presented.
The contract liability, “Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts,” represents the Company’s obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Company has been paid by the customer or for which the Company has billed the customer under the terms of the contract. Revenue for future services reflected in this account are recognized, and the liability is reduced, as the Company subsequently satisfies the performance obligation under the contract.
Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts and billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts are typically resolved within one year and are not considered significant financing components.
(J) Equity Method Investments
The Company uses the equity method of accounting for investments in companies in which it has a minority equity interest and the ability to exert significant influence over operating decisions of the companies. Significant influence is generally presumed to exist when the Company owns between 20% and 50% of the voting interests in the investee, holds substantial management rights or holds an interest of less than 20% in an investee that is a limited liability partnership or limited liability corporation that is treated as a flow- through entity.
Under the equity method of accounting, the Company’s share of the investee’s earnings (losses) are included in the “equity interests income (loss)” line item in the consolidated statement of operations. The Company recorded its share of the income or loss generated by these entities for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024 AND 2023
NOTE 2 | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) |
(J) Equity Method Investments (Continued)
Dividends and other distributions from equity method investees are recorded as a reduction of the Company’s investment. Distributions received up to the Company’s interest in the investee’s retained earnings are considered returns on investments and are classified within cash flows from operating activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows. Distributions from equity method investments in excess of the Company’s interest in the investee’s retained earnings are considered returns of investments and are classified within cash flows provided by investing activities in the statement of cash flows.
Other Equity Investments: Investments in nonconsolidated affiliates in which the Company owns less than 20% of the voting common stock or does not exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies, are recorded at fair value using quoted market prices if the investment has a readily determinable fair value. If an equity investment’s fair value is not readily determinable, the Company will recognize it at cost less any impairment, adjusted for observable price changes in orderly transactions in the investees’ securities that are identical or similar to the Company’s investments in the investee. The unrealized gains and losses and the adjustments related to the observable price changes are recognized in net income (loss).
Impairments of Investments
The Company regularly reviews its investments for impairment, including when the carrying value of an investment exceeds its market value. If the Company determines that an investment has sustained an other-than-temporary decline in its value, the investment is written down to its fair value by a charge to earnings. Factors that are considered by the Company in determining whether an other-than-temporary decline in value has occurred include (i) the market value of the security in relation to its cost basis, (ii) the financial condition of the investee, and (iii) the Company’s intent and ability to retain the investment for a sufficient period of time to allow for recovery in the market value of the investment.
For investments accounted for using the equity method of accounting or equity investments without a readily determinable fair value, the Company evaluates information available (e.g., budgets, business plans, financial statements, etc.) in addition to quoted market prices, if any, in determining whether an other-than temporary decline in value exists. Factor’s indicative of an other-than-temporary decline include recurring operating losses, credit defaults and subsequent rounds of financing at an amount below the cost basis of the Company’s investment.
(K) Revenue Recognition
The Company derives a significant portion of revenues from contracts with its customers during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, predominantly by performing design and building services and project design and management services for both public and private projects, with an emphasis on commercial and residential developments.
In accordance with ASC 606, Revenue From Contracts with Customers, an entity recognizes revenue when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that are within the scope of the standard, the entity performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The standard requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The standard also includes criteria for the capitalization and amortization of certain contract acquisition and fulfillment costs.

INTERNATIONAL ENDEAVORS CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024 AND 2023
NOTE 2 | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) |
Design and building services
Revenues derived from design and building services are recognized over time by using the cost-to-cost method to measure the progress towards the completion of the performance obligation as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits from the services rendered by the Company.as the Company satisfies its performance obligations by transferring control of the asset created or enhanced by the project to the customer. The contracts for design and building services are legally enforceable and binding agreements between the Company and customers. Recognition of revenues for construction projects requires significant judgment by management, including, among other things, estimating total costs expected to be incurred to complete a project and measuring progress toward completion. Management reviews contract estimates regularly to assess revisions of estimated costs to complete a project and for measurement of progress toward completion. No material adjustments to a contract were noted in the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.
The Company reviews and updates the estimated total costs of the contracts at least annually. Revisions to contract revenue and estimated total costs of the contracts are made in the period in which the facts and circumstances that cause the revision become known and are accounted for as changes in estimates. Management believes the Company maintains reasonable estimates based on prior experience; however, many factors contribute to changes in estimates of contract costs. Accordingly, estimates made with respect to uncompleted projects are subject to change as each project progresses and better estimates of contract costs become available. All contract costs are recorded as incurred, and revisions to estimated total costs are reflected as soon as the obligation to perform is determined. Provisions are recognized for the full amount of estimated losses on uncompleted contracts whenever evidence indicates that the estimated total cost of a contract exceeds its estimated total revenue, regardless of the stage of completion. When the Company incurs additional costs related to work performed by subcontractors, the Company may be able to utilize contractual provisions to back charge the subcontractors for those costs.
Revenue in excess of billings on the contracts is recorded as costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings. Billings in excess of revenues recognized on the contracts are recorded as deferred revenue until the above revenue recognition criteria are met. Recognition of accounts receivable and costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings are stated set out in Note 2(I).
If at any time the costs to complete the contract are estimated to exceed the remaining amount of the consideration under the contract, then a provision is recognized.
Project design and management services
Revenues derived from design and management services are recognized over time by using percentage of completion certified by engineer to measure the progress towards the completion of the performance obligation as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits from the services rendered by the Company. The contracts for design and building services are legally enforceable and binding agreements between the Company and customers.
(L) Income Taxes
The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the consolidated financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement basis and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company estimates the degree to which tax assets and credit carryforwards will result in a benefit based on expected profitability by tax jurisdiction. A valuation allowance for such tax assets and loss carryforwards is provided when it is determined to be more likely than not that the benefit of such deferred tax asset will not be realized in future periods. Tax benefits of operating loss carryforwards are evaluated on an ongoing basis, including a review of historical and projected future operating results, the eligible carryforward period, and other circumstances. If it becomes more likely than not that a tax asset will be used, the related valuation allowance on such assets would be reduced.

NOTE 2 | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) |
(L) Income Taxes (Continued)
The Company recognizes tax benefits from uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. Once this threshold has been met, the Company’s measurement of its expected tax benefits is recognized in its consolidated financial statements. The Company accrues interest on unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. Penalties, if incurred, would be recognized as a component of income tax expense.
(M) Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The Company follows ASC Topic 220, Comprehensive Income, for the reporting and display of its comprehensive income (loss) and related components in the consolidated financial statements and thereby reports a measure of all changes in equity of an enterprise that results from transactions and economic events other than transactions with the shareholders. Items of comprehensive income (loss) are reported in both the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income and the consolidated statement of stockholders’ deficit.
Accumulated other comprehensive income as presented on the consolidated balance sheets consisted of the accumulative foreign currency translation adjustment at period end.
(N) Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share
Basic earnings (loss) per common share are computed in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earning per Share, by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to holders of common stock by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares including the dilutive effect of common share equivalents then outstanding.
The diluted net profit/(loss) per common share is the same as the basic net profit/(loss) per share for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 as all potential common shares including stock options and warrants are anti-dilutive and are therefore excluded from the computation of diluted net profit/(loss) per share.
(O) Foreign Currency Translation
The assets and liabilities of the Company’s subsidiaries denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet date. For consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss’ items, amounts denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars were translated into U.S. dollars using the average exchange rate during the period. Equity accounts were translated at their historical exchange rates. Net gains and losses resulting from translation of foreign currency on consolidated financial statements are included in the statements of stockholders’ equity as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
(P) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure, defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact, and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.

NOTE 2 | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) |
(P) Fair Value of Financial Instruments (Continued)
It establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. It establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 - Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
Level 3 - Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments, which consist of cash, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other payables approximates fair value due to the short-term maturities.
(Q) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No 2022-02, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures” (“ASU 2022-02”). ASU 2022-02 eliminates the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings by creditors while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancing and restructurings by creditors made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. In addition, the amendments require disclosure of current period gross write-offs for financing receivables and net investment in leases by year of origination in the vintage disclosures. ASU 2022-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Except for expanded disclosures to its vintage disclosures, ASU 2022-02 did not have a material effect on the Company’s current financial position, results of operations or financial statements.
In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU No 2023-06, “Disclosure Agreements – Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative” (“ASU 2023-06”). ASU 2023-06 will align the disclosure and presentation requirements in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification with the SEC’s regulations. The amendments in ASU 2023-06 will be applied prospectively and are effective when the SEC removes the related requirements from Regulations S-X or S-K. Any amendments the SEC does not remove by June 30, 2027 will not be effective. As the Company is currently subject to these SEC requirements, ASU 2023-06 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s current financial position, results of operations or financial statement disclosures.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-07”). ASU 2023-07 expands disclosures about a public entity’s reportable segments and requires more enhanced information about a reportable segment’s expenses, interim segment profit or loss, and how a public entity’s chief operating decision maker uses reported segment profit or loss information in assessing segment performance and allocating resources. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. ASU 2023-07 should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company does not expect ASU 2023-07 to have a material effect on the Company’s current financial position, results of operations or financial statement disclosures.

(Q) Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”). ASU 2023-09 expands disclosures in the rate reconciliation and requires disclosure of income taxes paid by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. ASU 2023-09 should be applied prospectively; however, retrospective application is permitted. The Company does not expect ASU 2023-09 to have a material effect on the Company’s current financial position, results of operations or financial statement disclosures.
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments Credit Losses (Topic 326), which requires entities to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost. This standard was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years with early adoption permitted. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10, Financial Instruments— Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) and Leases (Topic 842). Effective Dates, which defers the effective date of Topic 326. As a smaller reporting Company, Topic 326 will now be effective for the Company beginning January I, 2023. The Company adopted this ASU January I, 2023 and it did not have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 4 70- 20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity ’s Owner Equity (ASU 2020-06). ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity. Those instruments that do not have a separately recognized embedded conversion feature will no longer recognize a debt issuance discount related to such a conversion feature and would recognize less interest expense on a periodic basis. It also removes from ASC 815-40-25-10 certain conditions for equity classification and amends certain guidance in ASC Topic 260 on the computation of EPS for convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity. An entity can use either a full or modified retrospective approach to adopt the ASU’s guidance. As a smaller reporting Company, the Company is required to adopt this ASU for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2024, with early adoption permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this ASU January 1, 2022 and it did not have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt— Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 4 70-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging— Contracts in Entity’s’ Owen Equity (Subtopic 815-40) (ASU 2022-04). ASU 2022-04 updates current accounting guidance for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options that remain equity-classified after modification or exchange as an exchange of the original instrument for a new instrument. The ASU specifies that the effects of modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options that remain equity after modification or exchange should be recognized depending on the substance of the transaction, whether it be a financing transaction to raise equity (topic 340), to raise or modify debt (topic 470 and 835), or other modifications or exchanges. If the modification or exchange does not fall under topics 340, 470, or 835, an entity may be required to account for the effects of such modifications or exchanges as dividends which should adjust net income (or loss) in the basic EPS calculation. This guidance was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company is required to apply the amendments within this ASU prospectively to modifications or exchanges occurring on or after the effective date of the amendment. The Company adopted this ASU January I, 2023 and it did not have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

(Q) Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In December 2023, FASB issued ASU 2023- 09, Income Taxes (Topic 740). Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (ASU 2023-09). The ASU focuses on income tax disclosures around effective tax rates and cash income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 requires public business entities to disclose, on an annual basis, a rate reconciliation presented in both dollars and percentages. The guidance requires the rate reconciliation to include specific categories and provides further guidance on disaggregation of those categories based on a quantitative threshold equal to 5% or more of the amount determined by multiplying pretax income (loss) from continuing operations by the applicable statutory rate. For entities reconciling to the US statutory rate of 21%, this would generally require disclosing any reconciling items that impact the rate by 1.05% or more. ASU 2023-09 is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after Dec. 15, 2024 (generally, calendar year 2025) and effective for all other business entities one year later. Entities should adopt this guidance on a prospective basis, though retrospective application is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2023-09 is expected to have a financial statement disclosure impact only and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Other pronouncements issued by the FASB or other authoritative accounting standards groups with future effective dates are either not applicable or are not expected to be significant to the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

On January 22, 2025, Raymond Valdez, the former sole executive officer and director entered into the Stock Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which Mr. Valdez agreed to sell to ModuLink Inc., a British Virgin Islands corporation, and Zenith (Hong Kong) Engineering Limited, a Hong Kong corporation (“Zenith (HK)”), 200,000 shares of Preferred A shares, representing all of the issued and outstanding shares of Preferred A, and the transfer of certain promissory notes of the Company held by third parties.
Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement dated January 22, 2025, the two convertible promissory notes of the Company in the principal amounts of $65,000 and $75,000, respectively were purchased and assigned to Zenith (HK) on January 30, 2025. The notes were originally convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock in accordance with the terms set forth therein. On February 28, 2025, Zenith (HK) waived all rights to convert the outstanding principal amount and any accrued but unpaid interest under the two convertible promissory notes into equity securities of the Company. Both notes have already become due and payable. However, Zenith (HK) has indicated a willingness to work with the Company regarding repayment of such loans. These notes are interest bearing at a rate of 8% per annum. Thus, notes payable is classified as financial liabilities and recognized at amortized cost.
