  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1
    Our future success is highly dependent on the ability of management to locate and attract suitable business opportunities and our stockholders will not know what business we will enter into until we consummate a transaction with the approval of our then existing directors and officers

    At this time, we have no operations and future implementation of our business plan is highly speculative, there is a consequent risk of loss of an investment in the Company. The success of our plan of operations will depend to a great extent on the operations, financial condition and management of future business and internal development. While management intends to seek businesses opportunities with entities having established operating histories, we cannot provide any assurance that we will be successful in locating opportunities meeting that criterion. In the event we complete a business plan, the success of our operations will be dependent upon management, its financial position and numerous other factors beyond our control.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2
    Our common stock is quoted on the OTC MARKETS. An investment in our common stock is risky and there can be no assurance that the price for our stock will not decrease substantially in the future

    Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Markets. The market for our stock has been volatile and has been characterized by large swings in the trading price that do not appear to be directly related to our business or financial condition. As a result, an investment in our common stock is risky and there can be no assurance that the price for our stock will not decrease substantially in the future.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3
    Our stock trades below $5.00 per share and is subject to special sales practice requirements that could have an adverse impact on any trading market that may develop for our stock

    If our stock trades below $5.00 per share and is subject to special sales practice requirements applicable to "penny stocks" which are imposed on broker-dealers who sell low-priced securities of this type. These rules may be anticipated to affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell our stock, which may in turn be anticipated to have an adverse impact on the market price for our stock if and when an active trading market should develop.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4
    Our officers, directors and principal stockholders own a large percentage of our issued and outstanding shares and other stockholders have little or no ability to elect directors or influence corporate matters

    As of July 27, 2021, our officers, directors, and principal stockholders were deemed to be the beneficial owners of approximately of our 57.94% issued and outstanding shares of common stock. As a result, such persons can determine the outcome of any actions taken by us that require stockholder approval. For example, they will be able to elect all of our directors and control the policies and practices of the Company.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 5
    Our shares may be delisted under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act ("HFCCA") if the PCAOB is unable to inspect our auditors for three consecutive years beginning in 2021. If the bill passed by the U.S. Senate on June 22, 2021 is passed by the U.S. House of Representatives and signed into law, this would reduce the number of consecutive non-inspection years required for triggering the prohibitions under the HFCAA from three years to two. The delisting of our shares, or the threat of their being delisted, may materially and adversely affect the value of your investment.

    The Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, or the HFCA Act, was enacted on December 18, 2020. The HFCA Act states if the SEC determines that a company has filed audit reports issued by a registered public accounting firm that has not been subject to inspection by the PCAOB for three consecutive years beginning in 2021, the SEC shall prohibit such shares from being traded on a national securities exchange or in the over the counter trading market in the U.S. On March 24, 2021, the SEC adopted interim final rules relating to the implementation of certain disclosure and documentation requirements of the HFCA Act. A company will be required to comply with these rules if the SEC identifies it as having a "non-inspection" year under a process to be subsequently established by the SEC. The SEC is assessing how to implement other requirements of the HFCA Act, including the listing and trading prohibition requirements described above. On June 22, 2021, the U.S. Senate passed a bill which, if passed by the U.S. House of Representatives and signed into law, would reduce the number of consecutive non-inspection years required for triggering the prohibitions under the HFCA Act from three years to two. The lack of access to the PCAOB inspection in China prevents the PCAOB from fully evaluating audits and quality control procedures of the auditors based in China. As a result, the investors may be deprived of the benefits of such PCAOB inspections. The inability of the PCAOB to conduct inspections of auditors in China makes it more difficult to evaluate the effectiveness of these accounting firms' audit procedures or quality control procedures as compared to auditors outside of China that are subject to the PCAOB inspections, which could cause existing and potential investors in our stock to lose confidence in our audit procedures and reported financial information and the quality of our financial statements. 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 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 ("Commission-Identified Issuers"). The final amendments require Commission-Identified Issuers to submit documentation to the SEC establishing that, if true, it is not owned or controlled by a governmental entity in the public accounting firm's foreign jurisdiction. The amendments also require that a Commission-Identified Issuer that is a "foreign issuer," as defined in Exchange Act Rule 3b-4, provide certain additional disclosures in its annual report for itself and any of its consolidated foreign operating entities. Further, the release provides notice regarding the procedures the SEC has established to identify issuers and to impose trading prohibitions on the securities of certain Commission-Identified Issuers, as required by the HFCA Act. The SEC will identify Commission-Identified Issuers for fiscal years beginning after December 18, 2020. A Commission-Identified Issuer will be required to comply with the submission and disclosure requirements in the annual report for each year in which it was identified. If a registrant is identified as a Commission-Identified Issuer based on its annual report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, the registrant will be required to comply with the submission or disclosure requirements in its annual report filing covering the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. Our current auditor, JP Centurion & Partners PLT ("Centurion") who is the independent registered public accounting firm that issues the audit report included in this registration statement, as auditors of companies that are traded publicly in the United States and a firm registered with the PCAOB, are subject to laws in the United States pursuant to which the PCAOB conducts regular inspections to assess their compliance with the applicable professional standards.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 6
    PCAOB has notified each PCAOB-Identified Firm of its determination and also publish the list on its website on Dec 16, 2021. Our current auditor, Centurion, is not subject to the determinations announced by the PCAOB on December 16, 2021.

    We are not aware of any reasons to believe or conclude that Centurion would not permit an inspection by PCAOB or that either one may not be subject to such inspection. However, given the recent developments, we cannot assure you whether the relevant 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. However, there is a possible risk that the PCAOB may be unable to inspect or investigate completely our auditor because of a position taken by an authority in a foreign jurisdiction. The SEC may propose additional rules or guidance that could impact us if our auditor is not subject to PCAOB inspection. For example, on August 6, 2020, the President's Working Group on Financial Markets, or the PWG, issued the Report on Protecting United States Investors from Significant Risks from Chinese Companies to the then President of the United States. This report recommended the SEC implement five recommendations to address companies from jurisdictions that do not provide the PCAOB with sufficient access to fulfil its statutory mandate. Some of the concepts of these recommendations were implemented with the enactment of the HFCA Act. However, some of the recommendations were more stringent than the HFCA Act. For example, if a company's auditor was not subject to PCAOB inspection, the report recommended that the transition period before a company would be delisted would end on January 1, 2022. The SEC has announced that the SEC staff is preparing a consolidated proposal for the rules regarding the implementation of the HFCA Act and to address the recommendations in the PWG report. It is unclear when the SEC will complete its rulemaking and when such rules will become effective and what, if any, of the PWG recommendations will be adopted. In addition, there might be a risk that lack of inspection could cause trading in our securities to be prohibited under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act. The implications of these possible regulations in addition to the requirements of the HFCA Act are uncertain. Such uncertainties could cause the market price of our shares to be materially and adversely affected, and our securities could be delisted or prohibited from being traded on the national securities exchange earlier than would be required by the HFCA Act. If our shares are unable to be listed on another securities exchange by then, such a delisting would substantially impair your ability to sell or purchase our shares when you wish to do so, and the risk and uncertainty associated with a potential delisting would have a negative impact on the price of our shares. In addition to the above mentioned, in accordance with the HFCA Act, we hereby declare the Company is not owned or controlled by any government entity in the relevant jurisdiction.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 7
    We cannot assure that there will be a trading market for our common stock.

    There is currently no trading market for our common stock, and we cannot assure that a trading market will develop. We have no established relationship with any securities broker-dealer to initiate and maintain market quotations in our common stock, and we cannot assure that we will be able to complete the steps necessary to enable market quotations to commence. We will have no control over the price at which our common stock may be quoted or traded.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 8
    The price of our common stock may experience considerable volatility over time.

    If our shares do begin active trading, the trading price may become subject to large price fluctuations in response to a number of events and factors, such as variations in operating results, our announcements of projects developments, announcements of competitors, changes in financial estimates, regulatory changes, recommendations by securities analysts, the share price performance of other companies that investors may deem comparable to us, news reports relating to trends in our markets, large purchases or sales of our common stock, liquidity (or absence of liquidity) in our common stock, currency fluctuations, and general economic conditions. These fluctuations may adversely affect the trading price of our common stock, regardless of our financial performance.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 9
    Our common stock is be considered a "penny stock," and thereby be subject to additional sale and trading regulations that may make it more difficult to sell

    A common stock is a "penny stock" if it meets one or more of the following conditions (i) the stock trades at a price less than $5.00 per share; (ii) it is not traded on a "recognized" national exchange; (iii) it is not quoted on the Nasdaq Capital Market, or even if so, has a price less than $5.00 per share; or (iv) is issued by a company that has been in business less than three years with net tangible assets less than $5 million. The principal result or effect of being designated a "penny stock" is that securities broker-dealers participating in sales of our common stock will be subject to the "penny stock" regulations set forth in Rules 15g-2 through 15g-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act. For example, Rule 15g-2 requires broker-dealers dealing in penny stocks to provide potential investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks and to obtain a manually signed and dated written receipt of the document at least two business days before effecting any transaction in a penny stock for the investor's account. Moreover, Rule 15g-9 requires broker-dealers in penny stocks to approve the account of any investor for transactions in such stocks before selling any penny stock to that investor. This procedure requires the broker-dealer to (i) obtain from the investor information concerning his or her financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives; (ii) reasonably determine, based on that information, that transactions in penny stocks are suitable for the investor and that the investor has sufficient knowledge and experience as to be reasonably capable of evaluating the risks of penny stock transactions; (iii) provide the investor with a written statement setting forth the basis on which the broker-dealer made the determination in (ii) above; and (iv) receive a signed and dated copy of such statement from the investor, confirming that it accurately reflects the investor's financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives. Compliance with these requirements may make it more difficult and time consuming for holders of our common stock to resell their shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them in the market or otherwise.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 10
    We may issue more shares in an acquisition or merger, which will result in substantial dilution

    Our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, authorize the Company to issue an aggregate of 780,000,000 shares of common stock of which 730,039,317 shares are currently outstanding and 20,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock are authorized, of which 1,259,858 shares are outstanding. Any acquisition or merger effected by the Company may result in the issuance of additional securities without stockholder approval and may result in substantial dilution in the percentage of our common stock held by our then existing stockholders. Moreover, shares of our common stock issued in any such merger or acquisition transaction may be valued on an arbitrary or non-arm's-length basis by our management, resulting in an additional reduction in the percentage of common stock held by our then existing stockholders. In an acquisition type transaction, our Board of Directors has the power to issue any, or all, of such authorized but unissued shares without stockholder approval. To the extent that additional shares of common stock are issued in connection with a business combination or otherwise, dilution to the interests of our stockholders will occur and the rights of the holders of common stock might be materially adversely affected.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 11
    Obtaining additional capital though the sale of common stock will result in dilution of stockholder interests

    We may raise additional funds in the future by issuing additional shares of common stock or other securities, which may include securities such as convertible debentures, warrants or preferred stock that are convertible into common stock. Any such sale of common stock or other securities will lead to further dilution of the equity ownership of existing holders of our common stock. Additionally, the existing conversion rights may hinder future equity offerings, and the exercise of those conversion rights may have an adverse effect on the value of our stock. If any such conversion rights are exercised at a price below the then current market price of our shares, then the market price of our stock could decrease upon the sale of such additional securities. Further, if any such conversion rights are exercised at a price below the price at which any stockholder purchased shares, then that particular stockholder will experience dilution in his or her investment.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 12
    Our directors have the authority to authorize the issuance of preferred stock

    Our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, authorize the Company to issue an aggregate of 20,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock. Our directors, without further action by our stockholders, have the authority to issue shares to be determined by our board of directors of Preferred Stock with the relative rights, conversion rights, voting rights, preferences, special rights, and qualifications as determined by the board without approval by the shareholders. Any issuance of Preferred Stock could adversely affect the rights of holders of common stock. Additionally, any future issuance of preferred stock may have the effect of delaying, deferring, or preventing a change in control of the Company without further action by the shareholders and may adversely affect the voting and other rights of the holders of common stock. Our Board does not intend to seek shareholder approval prior to any issuance of currently authorized stock, unless otherwise required by law or stock exchange rules.

FAQ

What are “Risk Factors”?
Risk factors are any situations or occurrences that could make investing in a company risky. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires that publicly traded companies disclose their most significant risk factors. This is so that potential investors can consider any risks before they make an investment. They also offer companies protection, as a company can use risk factors as liability protection. This could happen if a company underperforms and investors take legal action as a result. It is worth noting that smaller companies, that is those with a public float of under $75 million on the last business day, do not have to include risk factors in their 10-K and 10-Q forms, although some may choose to do so.
How do companies disclose their risk factors?
Publicly traded companies initially disclose their risk factors to the SEC through their S-1 filings as part of the IPO process. Additionally, companies must provide a complete list of risk factors in their Annual Reports (Form 10-K) or (Form 20-F) for “foreign private issuers”. Quarterly Reports also include a section on risk factors (Form 10-Q) where companies are only required to update any changes since the previous report. According to the SEC, risk factors should be reported concisely, logically and in “plain English” so investors can understand them.
How can I use TipRanks risk factors in my stock research?
Use the Risk Factors tab to get data about the risk factors of any company in which you are considering investing. You can easily see the most significant risks a company is facing. Additionally, you can find out which risk factors a company has added, removed or adjusted since its previous disclosure. You can also see how a company’s risk factors compare to others in its sector. Without reading company reports or participating in conference calls, you would most likely not have access to this sort of information, which is usually not included in press releases or other public announcements. A simplified analysis of risk factors is unique to TipRanks.
