ITEM 1 – BUSINESS
Corporate History
We were incorporated on September 14, 2011 in Delaware as "Eco Planet Corp." On October 21, 2013, we effected a 1-for-200 reverse stock split of our common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the "Common Stock"), and changed our name to "Zosano, Inc." On October 31, 2013, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Zosano Pharma Corporation (formerly known as ZP Holdings, Inc.) pursuant to which we issued and sold 10,016,973 shares of Common Stock (the "Shares") to Zosano Pharma Corporation. As a result of our issuance and sale of the Shares to Zosano Pharma Corporation, a change in control of the Company occurred and Zosano Pharma Corporation became the owner of 99.9% of our outstanding Common Stock.
On November 14, 2016, Zosano Pharma Corporation entered into Stock Purchase Agreements with eighteen (18) foreign investors (the "New Shareholders"), pursuant to which Zosano Pharma Corporation sold an aggregate of 10,016,973 shares of common stock of Zosano, Inc. (the "Company"), or approximately 99.9% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company, to the New Shareholders. As a result of the transaction, the New Shareholders acquired approximately 99.9% of the total votes entitled to be cast at any meeting of shareholders, giving them voting control of the Company. The New Shareholders obtained the funds for the purchase of the Company's common stock in the transaction from each of their available cash on hand.
On December 15, 2016, we filed Articles of Amendment to its Amended Articles of Incorporation (the "Articles of Amendment") with the Secretary of State of Delaware effecting a name change of the Company to J.E.M. Capital, Inc. (the "Corporate Action"). The Corporate Action and the Amended Articles became effective on March 15, 2017, following compliance with notification requirements of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. The new CUSIP number for the Company's common stock is 46619V107. On March 14, 2017, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) approved the Corporate Action. The Company's stock is quoted on the OTCQB under the ticker symbol ZOSN, but beginning March 15, 2017, the Company's common stock will begin trading under the symbol JEMC.
On January 5, 2017, we entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Essential Element Limited, a British Virgin Islands company ("ESEL"), and Leung Chi Wah Earnest ("Mr. Leung"), the principal shareholder of ESEL, pursuant to which the Company issued an aggregate of 2,005,400 shares of common stock, or approximately 17% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company, to Mr. Leung in exchange for 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of ESEL. ESEL owns all of the issued and outstanding shares of J.E.M. Capital Limited, a company organized under the laws of Hong Kong ("JEM Capital"). ESEL and JEM Capital currently have no operations but include the corporate structure that the Company believes necessary for the acquisition of assets in Hong Kong and China. ESEL has incurred material expenses setting up such structure.

Business Overview
On October 31, 2013, we underwent a change of control and implemented a business plan to seek and identify a privately held operating company desiring to become a publicly held company by merging with us through a reverse merger or acquisition. Our strategy is to identify a privately held operating company, which is profitable or, in management's view, has growth potential, irrespective of the industry in which it is engaged, desiring to become a publicly held company with access to U.S. capital markets by merging with us through a reverse merger or acquisition. However, we do not intend to combine with a company that may be deemed an investment company subject to the Investment Company Act of 1940. Private companies wishing to have their securities publicly quoted may seek to merge or effect another form of business combination with a shell company with a significant stockholder base. As a result of the merger or other business combination, the stockholders of the private company would hold a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of the shell company, which will likely cause substantially dilution to our current shareholder base. Typically, the directors and officers of the private company become the directors and officers of the shell company. Often the name of the private company becomes the name of the shell company.
From October 31, 2013 to November 14, 2016, we have no capital and must depend on Zosano Pharma Corporation, the holder of 99.9% of our outstanding voting securities, to provide us with the necessary funds to implement our business plan. As the result of sales of shares to New Shareholders on November 14, 2016, we must depend on the New Shareholders to provide us with the necessary funds to implement our business plan. We continue to evaluate business opportunities that we may pursue, but we have not reached any definitive agreement or understanding with any person concerning a merger or other business combination.
On January 18, 2019, the Company appointed MingJing Xia and Yulong Yang as directors of the Company, and subsequently in April and May 2019, MingJing Xia was appointed as the Chairperson of the Board and Chief Financial Officer, while Yulong Yang appointed as the Chief Executive Officer. They would be primarily responsible for evaluating business combination opportunities. We believe that business opportunities may come to our attention from various sources, professional advisors such as attorneys and accountants, securities broker-dealers, venture capitalists, members of the financial community, and others who may present unsolicited proposals. We have no plan, understanding, agreements, or commitments with any individual for such person to act as a finder of opportunities for us.
We can give no assurances that we will be successful in finding or acquiring a desirable business opportunity, given the limited resources that are expected to be available to us for implementation of our business plan. Furthermore, we can give no assurances that any business combination, if one occurs, will be on terms that are favorable to our current stockholders or us.
We do not propose to restrict our search for a business combination candidate to any particular geographical area or industry, and, therefore, we are unable to predict the nature of our future business operations. Our management's discretion in the selection of business opportunities is unrestricted, subject to the availability of such opportunities, economic conditions and other factors.
Any entity that has an interest in being acquired by, or merging into us, is expected to be an entity that desires to become a public company and establish a public trading market for its securities. In connection with such a merger or acquisition, it is anticipated that an amount of common stock constituting control of us would be issued by us.
Evaluation and Selection of Business Opportunities
Certain types of business acquisition transactions may be completed without requiring us to first submit the transaction to our stockholders for their approval. If the proposed transaction is structured in such a fashion, our stockholders will not be provided with financial or other information relating to the candidate prior to the completion of the transaction.
If the structure of a proposed business combination or business acquisition transaction requires the approval of our stockholders, and we are a company required to file reports under the Exchange Act, then we will be required to provide our stockholders with information as applicable under Regulations 14A and 14C under the Exchange Act. Currently, however, we are not required to file reports under the Exchange Act.
The analysis of business opportunities will be undertaken by or under the supervision of Yulong Yang and Mingjing Xia, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, respectively. In analyzing potential merger candidates, our management will consider, among other things, the following factors:
| · | potential for future earnings and appreciation of value of securities; |
| · | perception of how any particular business opportunity will be received by the investment community and by our stockholders; |
| · | ability, following the business combination, to qualify securities for listing on a national securities exchange; |
| · | historical results of operation; |
| · | liquidity and availability of capital resources; |
| · | competitive position as compared to other companies of similar size and experience within the industry segment as well as within the industry as a whole; |
| · | strength and diversity of existing management or management prospects that are scheduled for recruitment; |
| · | amount of debt and contingent liabilities; and |
| · | the products and/or services and marketing concepts of the target company. |
No single factor will control the selection of a business opportunity. Our management will attempt to analyze all factors appropriate to each opportunity and make a determination based upon reasonable investigative measures and available data. Potentially available business opportunities may occur in many different industries and at various stages of development, all of which will make the task of comparative investigation and analysis of such business opportunities extremely difficult and complex. Because of our limited capital available for investigation, we may not discover or adequately evaluate adverse facts about the business opportunity to be acquired. Although we expect to analyze specific proposals and select a business opportunity in the near future, we are unable to predict when we may consummate a business transaction.
Before making a decision to participate in a business transaction, we will generally request that we be provided with written materials regarding the business opportunity containing as much relevant information as possible, including, but not limited to, a description of products, services and company history; management resumes; financial information; available projections, with related assumptions upon which they are based; an explanation of proprietary products and services; evidence of existing patents, trademarks, or service marks, or rights thereto; present and proposed forms of compensation to management; a description of transactions between such company and its affiliates during the relevant periods; a description of present and required facilities; an analysis of risks and competitive conditions; a financial plan of operation and estimated capital requirements; audited consolidated financial statements, or if audited consolidated financial statements are not available, unaudited consolidated financial statements, together with reasonable assurance that audited consolidated financial statements would be able to be produced in order to file a Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") upon consummation of the business combination.
We believe that various types of potential candidates might find a business combination with us to be attractive. These include candidates desiring to create a public market for their securities in order to enhance liquidity for current stockholders, candidates which have long-term plans for raising capital through public sale of securities and believe that the prior existence of a public market for their securities would be beneficial, and candidates who plan to acquire additional assets through issuance of securities rather than for cash and believe that the development of a public market for their securities will be of assistance in that process. Companies which have a need for an immediate cash infusion are not likely to find a potential business combination with us to be a prudent business transaction alternative.
Employees
Currently we have two employees including executive officers. We rely exclusively on the expertise of executive officers. Our management expects to use consultants, attorneys and accountants as necessary. The need for employees and their availability will be addressed in connection with the decision on whether or not to acquire or participate in specific business opportunities.
Available Information
Historically we have filed periodic reports under the Exchange Act. Our Quarterly Reports, Annual Reports, and other filings can be obtained from the SEC's Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, NE., Washington, DC 20549, on official business days during the hours of 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. You may also obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the Commission at 1-800-SEC-0330.

The Securities Enforcement Remedies and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990 requires additional disclosure by brokers and dealers relating to the market for penny stocks in connection with trades in any stock defined as a penny stock. The Commission has adopted regulations that generally define a penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to a few exceptions that we do not meet. Unless an exception is available, the regulations require the delivery, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated therewith.

ITEM 6 - SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

ITEM 7 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included on page F-1 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. This Annual Report on Form 10-K of J.E.M. Capital, Inc. contains forward-looking statements, principally in this Section and "Business." Generally, you can identify these statements because they use words like "anticipates," "believes," "expects," "future," "intends," "plans," and similar terms. These statements reflect only our current expectations. Although we do not make forward-looking statements unless we believe we have a reasonable basis for doing so, we cannot guarantee their accuracy and actual results may differ materially from those we anticipated due to a number of uncertainties, many of which are unforeseen, including, among others, the risks we face as described in this filing. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements which apply only as of the date of this annual report. To the extent that such statements are not recitations of historical fact, such statements constitute forward-looking statements that, by definition, involve risks and uncertainties. In any forward-looking statement where we express an expectation or belief as to future results or events, such expectation or belief is expressed in good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis, but there can be no assurance that the statement of expectation of belief will be accomplished.
We believe it is important to communicate our expectations to our investors. There may be events in the future, however, that we are unable to predict accurately or over which we have no control. Any risk factors listed in this filing, as well as any cautionary language in this annual report, provide examples of risks, uncertainties and events that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the expectations we describe in our forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated, include, but are not limited to, changes in investment and business strategies; general economic, financial and business conditions; changes in and compliance with governmental regulations; changes in various tax laws; and the availability of key management and other personnel.
Overview
We were incorporated on September 14, 2011 in Delaware as "Eco Planet Corp." On October 21, 2013, we effected a 1-for-200 reverse stock split of our common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the "Common Stock"), and changed our name to "Zosano, Inc." On October 31, 2013, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Zosano Pharma Corporation (formerly known as ZP Holdings, Inc.) pursuant to which we issued and sold 10,016,973 shares of Common Stock (the "Shares") to Zosano Pharma Corporation. As a result of our issuance and sale of the Shares to Zosano Pharma Corporation, a change in control of the Company occurred and Zosano Pharma Corporation became the owner of 99.9% of our outstanding Common Stock.
On November 14, 2016, Zosano Pharma Corporation entered into Stock Purchase Agreements with eighteen (18) foreign investors (the "New Shareholders"), pursuant to which Zosano Pharma Corporation sold an aggregate of 10,016,973 shares of common stock of Zosano, Inc. (the "Company") or approximately 99.9% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company, to the New Shareholders. As a result of the transaction, the New Shareholders acquired approximately 99.9% of the total votes entitled to be cast at any meeting of shareholders, giving them voting control of the Company. The New Shareholders obtained the funds for the purchase of the Company's common stock in the transaction from each of their available cash on hand.
On November 21, 2016, we obtained written consent by the holder of the majority of the voting power of the Company's capital stock approving amendments to the Company's Articles of Incorporation to change the Company's name from Zosano, Inc. to J.E.M. Capital, Inc. The Company has filed Articles of Amendment with the Secretary of State of Delaware, which will become effective upon compliance with notification requirements of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.
On January 5, 2017, we entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Essential Element Limited, a British Virgin Islands company ("ESEL"), and Leung Chi Wah Earnest ("Mr. Leung"), the principal shareholder of ESEL, pursuant to which the Company issued an aggregate of 2,005,400 shares of common stock, or approximately 17% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company, to Mr. Leung in exchange for 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of ESEL. ESEL owns all of the issued and outstanding shares of J.E.M. Capital Limited, a company organized under the laws of Hong Kong ("JEM Capital"). ESEL and JEM Capital currently have no operations, but include the corporate structure that the Company believes necessary for the acquisition of assets in Hong Kong and China. ESEL has incurred material expenses setting up such structure.
We are a shell company as defined in Rule 12b-2 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). As a shell company, we have no operations and assets. Our current business plan is to identify a privately held operating company, which is profitable or, in management's view, has growth potential, irrespective of the industry in which it is engaged, desiring to become a publicly held company with access to U.S. capital markets by merging with us through a reverse merger or acquisition. We can give no assurances that we will be successful in finding or acquiring a desirable business opportunity, given the limited resources that are expected to be available to us for implementation of our business plan. Furthermore, we can give no assurances that any business combination, if one occurs, will be on terms that are favorable to our current stockholders or us.

Revenue
We have never generated any revenue. We do not expect to generate any revenues before we merge with a privately-held operating company desiring to become a publicly-held company. After a successful merger transaction, we do not know when, or if, we will generate revenue as that will be in the control of the private company that merges with us.
Operating expenses
Our operating expenses primarily consisted of general and administrative expenses, such as salary and related expenses, audit and review fees, tax returns preparation fees, transfer agent services, Edgar filing costs, franchise and business taxes, other professional services and general office expenses. Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 were $34,296 and $87,413, respectively. The decrease in operating expenses was due to the decrease in salary and related expenses paid for officers and other office expenses of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2019. We anticipate our operating expenses will be approximately $40,000 to $100,000 per year until we successfully merge with a privately-held operating company.
Net loss
Net loss for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 was $34,296, or $0.003 per share, as compared to $87,413, or $0.007 per share for the year ended December 31, 2018. The decrease in net loss was due to the decrease in salary and related expenses paid for the year ended December 31, 2019. We will continue to operate at a net loss until we merge with a privately-held operating company desiring to become a publicly-held company. After a successful merger transaction, we do not know when, or if, we will operate at a net profit as that will be in the control of the private company that merges with us. We anticipate our net loss will primarily consist of our operating expenses until we successfully merge with a private company.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, because of our operating losses, we did not generate positive operating cash flows. Our cash on hand as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 was $Nil and $164 respectively and our monthly cash flow burn rate is minimal due to our lack of operations. Our current cash needs are being satisfied by stockholders. We do not believe we will be able to satisfy our cash needs internally until we consummate a merger transaction with a private company, and even then there is no assurance we will be able to do so.
Our cash, current assets, total assets, current liabilities, and total liabilities as of December 31, 2019 compared to December 31, 2018 are as follows:
| | December 31, | | December 31, | | |
| | 2019 | | 2018 | | Change |
Cash | | | - | | | | 164 | | | | (164) | |

| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Assets and Liabilities
As of December 31, 2019, we had prepaid expenses of $12,000 in respect of the unvested awards of stock based compensation. We had liabilities totalling $132,456 and $110,820 as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, which consisted of accrued expenses related to salary, office expenses, audit fees, transfer agent services, legal fees and advances from shareholders.
Stockholders' Deficit

Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to locate a private company to merge with and our ability to successfully borrow money from our shareholders.
The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.

Critical Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The Company's consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) which requires 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.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of J.E.M. Capital, Inc. and its subsidiaries for which it is the primary beneficiary. Upon making this determination, the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the entity, which is then required to be consolidated for financial reporting purposes. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Business acquisitions
The Company has accounted for all of its acquisitions using the acquisition method. The operating results of each acquisition have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the respective dates of acquisition. There were no business acquisitions for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.
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.
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.
The Company' income tax returns are subject to examination for three years from the date filed or the due date, whichever is later. The Company did not identify any material uncertain tax positions.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") or other standard setting bodies and adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the recently issued accounting standards will not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

ITEM 9A - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
| (a) | Disclosure Controls and Procedures |
We conducted an evaluation, with the participation of our principal executive and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, as of December 31, 2019, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities Exchange Commission's rules and forms, including to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on that evaluation, our principal executive and principal financial officer has concluded that as of December 31, 2019, and as of the date that the evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures was completed, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to satisfy the objectives for which they are intended.
| (b) | Management Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting |
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act, as amended, as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial officer, and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and includes those policies and procedures that:
| · | Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and any disposition of our assets; |
| | |
| · | Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and |
| | |
| · | Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements. |
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect all misstatements. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that resources may become severely limited.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officer, we conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on this assessment, management determined that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, due to the material weaknesses described below.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our consolidated financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our management, with the participation and under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer, Yulong Yang and our Chief Financial Officer, MingJing Xia, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework and criteria established in Internal Control- Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on this evaluation, MingJing Xia and Yulong Yang determined that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2019.
| (c) | Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting |
We regularly review our system of internal control over financial reporting and make changes to our processes and systems to improve controls and increase efficiency, while ensuring that we maintain an effective internal control environment. Changes may include such activities as implementing new, more efficient systems, consolidating activities, and migrating processes.
Other than as described above, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2019 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

INDEX TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2019
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
J.E.M. Capital, Inc.
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of J.E.M. Capital, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the "Company") as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' deficit and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2019, 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 consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2019, in conformity with the 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 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 audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatements, 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 audit 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 regarding 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 reasonable basis for our opinion.
Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred net losses of $34,296 and $$87,413 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Additionally, the Company used net cash in operating activities of $25,650 and $47,947 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded stockholders' deficit of $120,456 and $110,160, respectively. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

1. | Organization and principal activities |
Nature of Operations
J.E.M. Capital, Inc. (the "Company") has limited operations. The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on September 14, 2011.
On October 31, 2013, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with Zosano Pharma Corporation, formerly known as ZP Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (Zosano Pharma), pursuant to which the Company issued and sold to Zosano Pharma 10,016,973 shares of the Company's common stock, $0.0001 par value, for an aggregate cash purchase price of $365,000. As a result of the issuance and sale of the Company's common stock to Zosano Pharma pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, a change in control of the Company occurred (in which Zosano Pharma acquired control of the Company). Immediately following the change in control transaction, 10,027,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock were issued and outstanding. The 10,016,973 shares of common stock issued and sold to Zosano Pharma pursuant to the Purchase Agreement represent approximately 99.9% of the Company's issued and outstanding common stock.
On November 14, 2016, Zosano Pharma entered into Stock Purchase Agreements with eighteen (18) foreign investors (the "New Shareholders"), pursuant to which Zosano Pharma sold an aggregate of 10,016,973 shares of common stock of Zosano, Inc. or approximately 99.9% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company, to the New Shareholders.
On January 5, 2017, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the "Agreement") with Essential Element Limited, a British Virgin Islands company ("ESEL"), and Leung Chi Wah Earnest ("Mr. Leung"), the principal shareholder of ESEL, pursuant to which the Company issued an aggregate of 2,005,400 shares of common stock, or approximately 17% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company, to Mr. Leung in exchange for 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of ESEL. ESEL owns all of the issued and outstanding shares of J.E.M. Capital Limited, a company organized under the laws of Hong Kong ("JEM Capital").
ESEL and JEM Capital currently have no operations, but include the corporate structure that the Company believes necessary for the acquisition of assets in Hong Kong and China. ESEL has incurred material expenses setting up such structure.
2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company's activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including failure to identify a privately held operating company desiring to merge with the Company, failure to complete a reverse merger transaction, and inability to secure funding to continue as a going concern. (See Note 3 regarding going concern discussion.)
Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates
The Company's consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) which requires 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.
Business acquisitions
The Company has accounted for all of its acquisitions using the acquisition method. The operating results of each acquisition have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the respective dates of acquisition. There were no business acquisitions for the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of J.E.M. Capital Inc. and its subsidiaries for which it is the primary beneficiary. Upon making this determination, the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the entity, which is then required to be consolidated for financial reporting purposes. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.

2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Continued |
Equipment, 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:
Computer hardware and software | 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. Repairs and maintenance costs on equipment are expensed as incurred.
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, 2019 and 2018.
Fair value of financial instruments
ASC Topic 825, "Financial Instruments", requires disclosing fair value to the extent practicable for financial instruments which are recognized or unrecognized in the balance sheets. The fair values of the financial instruments are not necessarily representative of the amount that could be realized or settled, nor does the fair value amount consider the tax consequences of realization or settlement. For certain financial instruments, including deposit, accounts payable and accrued expenses, the fair values were determined based on the near term maturities of such assets and liabilities.
Revenue
The Company has yet to generate revenue from operations for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.
Net Loss per Common Share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to the common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Fully diluted loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. There were no dilutive financial instruments issued or outstanding for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.
Stock-based Compensation
The Company adopted ASC Topic 718, using a modified prospective application transition method, which establishes accounting for stock- based awards in exchange for employee services. Under this application, the Company is required to record stock-based compensation expense for all awards granted after the date of adoption and unvested awards that were outstanding as of the date of adoption. ASC Topic 718 requires that stock-based compensation cost is measured at grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and recognized as expense over the requisite services period. The stock-based compensation expenses are recognized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the period over which services are to be received or the vesting period.

2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Continued |
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.
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.
The Company' income tax returns are subject to examination for three years from the date filed or the due date, whichever is later. The Company did not identify any material uncertain tax positions.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the consolidated financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and we do not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has not established any source of revenues to cover its operating costs, and as such, has incurred an operating loss since inception. Further, as of December 31, 2019, the cash resources of the Company were insufficient to continue to conduct its normal business operations. These and other factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

In anticipation of the acquisition of the Company's common stock by Zosano Pharma and on October 21, 2013, the Company completed a 1-for-200 reverse stock split. As a result, existing stockholders held an aggregate of 10,027 shares on a post-split basis. All share and per share amounts have been retroactively restated for the effect of this split.
On October 31, 2013, the Company issued 10,016,973 shares of common stock to Zosano Pharma in exchange for an aggregate cash purchase price of $365,000. Concurrently with the receipt of the proceeds from the sale of its common stock to Zosano Pharma, the Company declared a dividend of the purchase price to its stockholders of record immediately prior to the closing of the purchase transaction.
On January 5, 2017, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Essential Element Limited, a British Virgin Islands company ("ESEL"), and Leung Chi Wah Earnest, the principal shareholder of ESEL, pursuant to which the Company issued an aggregate of 2,005,400 shares of common stock, or approximately 17% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company, to Mr. Leung in exchange for 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of ESEL. ESEL owns all of the issued and outstanding shares of J.E.M. Capital Limited, a company organized under the laws of Hong Kong ("JEM Capital"). ESEL and JEM Capital currently have no operations, but include the corporate structure that the Company believes necessary for the acquisition of assets in Hong Kong and China.
