TABLE OF CONTENTS
Investing in our common stock is highly speculative and involves a significant degree of risk. See “Item 1A: Risk Factors” for a discussion of information that should be considered before making a decision to purchase our common stock.
Investors are cautioned that you are purchasing the interests of China Changjiang Mining & New Energy Company, Ltd., which is a Nevada corporation without conducting operations and will be referred to hereinafter as the “Company”, or “we” or “our” or “CHJI”.
PART I
(a) Business Development
The Company was organized under the laws of the State of Nevada on September 19, 2009, under its current name. The Company was a development stage company with the goal of becoming a design, engineer, construct, market and sell high-quality PV SEFs for commercial and utility applications to local markets.
Prior to June 1, 2012, we were engaged in exploration for commercially recoverable metal-bearing mineral deposits. On June 1, 2012, we entered into an agreement with Xunyang Yongjin Mining Co., Ltd. to transfer our mining exploration rights for a cash payment. Further, on December 30, 2013, our subsidiary, Shaanxi Changjiang Mining & New Energy Co., Ltd (“Shaanxi Changjiang”), entered into Equity Transfer Agreements with officers of the Company, whereby the Company’s subsidiaries were sold off.
Business operations for China Chingjiang Mining & New Energy Energy Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries were abandoned by former management and a custodianship action, as described in the subsequent paragraph, was commenced in 2020. The Company filed its last 10-Q in 2017, this financial report included liabilities and debts. As of the date of this filing, these liabilities and debts have not been addressed and remain on the Company’s books.
On February 3, 2020, the Eighth District Court of Clark County, Nevada granted the Application for Appointment of Custodian as a result of the absence of a functioning board of directors and the revocation of the Company’s charter. The order appointed Small Cap Compliance, LLC (“SCC”) custodian with the right to appoint officers and directors, negotiate and compromise debt, execute contracts, issue stock, and authorize new classes of stock.
The court awarded custodianship to Small Cap Compliance, LLC (sole member is Rhonda Keaveney) based on the absence of a functioning board of directors, revocation of the company’s charter, and abandonment of the business. At this time, Ms. Keaveney was appointed sole officer and director.
Upon appointment as custodian of CHJI and under its duties stipulated by the Nevada court, SCC took initiative to organize the business of the issuer. As custodian, the duties were to conduct daily business, hold shareholder meetings, appoint officers and directors, reinstate the company with the Nevada Secretary of State. SCC also had authority to enter into contracts and find a suitable merger candidate. SCC was compensated for its role as custodian in the amount of 1,000,000 shares of Convertible Series C Preferred Stock. SCC did not receive any additional compensation, in the form of cash or stock, for custodian services. The custodianship was discharged on May 18, 2020.
On August 23, 2020, SCC entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Bridgeview Capital Partners, LLC whereby Bridgeview Capital Partners, LLC purchased 1,000,000 shares of Convertible Series C Preferred Stock. These shares represent the controlling block of stock. Ms. Keaveney resigned his position of sole officer and director and appointed Dr. Chongyi Yang as CEO, Treasurer, Secretary, and Director of the Company.
Bridgeview Capital Partners, LLC is controlled by Michael Dobbs and Sean Lanci.
On August 23, 2020, Bridgeview Capital Partners, LLC entered into a Stock Purchase with Cathay Capital Management Inc. (“Cathay”) whereby Cathay purchased 1,000,000 shares of Convertible Series C Preferred Stock. Chongyi Yang is the control person for Cathay.
The Company transitioned from mining to clean new energy. Our current business is focused on the solar photovoltaic, or “PV”.
When the sun shines onto a solar panel, energy from the sunlight is absorbed by the PV cells in the panel. This energy creates electrical charges that move in response to an internal electrical field in the cell, causing electricity to flow.
Concentrating solar-thermal power (CSP) systems use mirrors to reflect and concentrate sunlight onto receivers that collect solar energy and convert it to heat, which can then be used to produce electricity or stored for later use. It is used primarily in very large power plants.
The Company’s green energy business unit is committed to providing customers and partners with professional and comprehensive green new energy project solution services.
We build rural revitalization smart new energy photovoltaic. Specifically, we will focus on 5G smart street lamp energy storage and charging, integrated charging stations and rural new energy vehicles, low-carbon parks, and commercial and household rooftop photovoltaic green power.
Our Business Strategy and Products and Services
Solar photovoltaic energy is an emerging, clean energy industry with a growing market share. Application of solar energy in developed countries such as Germany and Japan, are relatively comprehensive and mature. At the present time, the Chinese PV downstream market is still in the initial stages of development, though most of the PV modules are manufactured in China.
China's solar PV module manufacturers were hit by the European Union and the United States anti-dumping sanctions. Businesses and governments are trying to find better alternative applications market to absorb the huge domestic surplus solar PV capacity. The untapped domestic PV downstream market is one of the best ways to absorb the surplus production capacity.
The Chinese government is encouraging the construction of a large PV base and the development of distributed photovoltaic. Currently, we mainly focus on the development of distributed photovoltaic power generation projects.
We believe the next few years will show protracted continued growth in the PV solar market. Government policies, in the form of both regulation and incentives, have accelerated the adoption of solar technologies by businesses and consumers and have provided opportunities for developers to construct PV systems as an alternative to more traditional forms of power generation.
Our Industry and Principal Market
Sales and Marketing
We are establishing a sales and marketing department which is focused on identifying and establishing relationships with entities that are likely to have a need for our products and services.
Our products and services are expected to be largely represented through our Company's sales force located in China
Current Business Operations
At the present time, our focus is on serving the local solar PV generation market.
The following chart illustrates our distributed solar PV business model.
Solar PV Industry
General
Though we may be a new participant in solar PV industry, we also realized that the local downstream market of solar PV industry was as new as we are. Experience in some developed countries has shown that there should be a business opportunity in China's PV downstream market in the near future.
Each of our EPC projects is a strategic long-term investment, with relatively low risk, a stable cash inflow can be generated and little ongoing maintenance costs would be incurred once the project begins operations.
Competition
We anticipate that our competitors in the solar PV markets will be local and regional EPC contractors and developers. Other companies in China that engage in solar PV power generation that we consider to be likely competitors, include: Xi'an Huanghe Photovoltaic Technology Co., Ltd., Shaanxi Tuori New Energy Technology Limited, and Shaanxi Changling Electric Co., Ltd., etc. These competitors have more experience in the operation of solar PV energy and have superior financial resources than we do.
The entire solar industry also faces competition from other power generation sources, both conventional sources as well as other emerging technologies. Solar power has certain advantages and disadvantages when compared to other power generating technologies. The advantages include the ability to deploy products in many sizes and configurations, provide reliable power for many applications, serve as both a power generator and the skin of a building and eliminate air, water and noise emissions. The disadvantages mainly came from the relatively high cost of power generation.
The cost of electricity generated by PV products currently is very close to the cost of electricity generated from conventional power such as coal and hydropower in Chinese markets. A significant reduction in the scope or discontinuation of government incentive programs could cause demand for our products and our revenue to decline, and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
As an emerging industry, the rapid growth of the solar PV could reduce the intensity of competition from alternative products and services.
In the near term, mature government subsidy roadmaps from the government have led developers to be aggressive with their solar installations so that they can enjoy better economic returns. Cost reductions of solar installations have proven to be viable and have also led to aggressive solar installation. In the long run, we believe that solar energy continues to have significant future growth potential and that demand for our products and services will continue to grow significantly for the following reasons:
· | increasing demand for renewable energies, including solar energy, due to the finiteness of fossil fuels and concerns over nuclear power; |
| |
· | increasing environmental awareness leading to regulations and taxes aimed at limiting emissions from fossil fuels; |
| |
· | continued adoption or maintenance of government incentives for solar energy at all levels of Chinese government; |
| |
· | narrowing cost differentials between solar energy and conventional energy sources due to market-wide decreases in the average selling prices for PV products driven by lower raw materials costs and increased production efficiencies; and |
| |
· | continued improvements in the conversion efficiency of PV products leading to lower costs per watt of electricity generated, making solar energy more efficient and cost-effective. |
PV Government Regulation
This section sets forth a summary of the most significant regulations or requirements that affect our business activities in China.
Regulations issued or implemented by the State Council, China's National Development and Reform Commission (“NDRC”), and other relevant government authorities cover many aspects of new energy industry, including, but not limited to the following principal regulations:
Renewable Energy Law
On December 26, 2009, China revised its Renewable Energy Law, which originally became effective on January 1, 2006. The revised Renewable Energy Law became effective on April 1, 2010, and has laid the legal foundation for developing renewable energy in China. These laws lay the foundation for future regulation.
Renewable Energy Law clearly stipulates the following principles for the development of new energy:
· | To encourage and support the use of solar and other renewable energy and the use of on-grid generation. |
| |
· | To encourage the installation and use of solar energy water-heating systems, solar energy heating and cooling systems, solar PV systems and other solar energy utilization systems. |
| |
· | To authorize the relevant pricing authorities to set favorable prices for the purchase of electricity generated by solar and other renewable power generation systems. |
| |
· | To provide financial incentives, such as national funding, preferential loans and tax preferences for the development of renewable energy projects. |
Historical Government Directives
In January 2006, the NDRC promulgated two implementation directives of the Renewable Energy Law. These directives set forth specific measures in setting prices for electricity generated by solar and other renewal power generation systems and in sharing additional expenses occurred. The directives further allocate the administrative and supervisory authorities among different government agencies at the national and provincial levels and stipulate responsibilities of electricity grid companies and power generation companies with respect to the implementation of the Renewable Energy Law.
China's Ministry of Construction issued a directive in June of 2005, which seeks to expand the use of solar energy in residential and commercial buildings and encourages the increased application of solar energy in townships. In addition, China's State Council promulgated a directive in June of 2005, which sets forth specific measures to conserve energy resources and encourage exploration, development and use of solar energy in China's western areas, which are not fully connected to electricity transmission grids, and other rural areas.
In July 2007, the PRC State Electricity Regulatory Commission issued the Supervision Regulations on the Purchase of All Renewable Energy by Power Grid Enterprises which became effective on September 1, 2007. To promote the use of renewable energy for power generation, the regulations require that electricity grid enterprises must in a timely manner set up connections between the grids and renewable power generation systems and purchase all the electricity generated by renewable power generation systems. The regulations also provide that power dispatch institutions shall give priority to renewable power generation companies in respect of power dispatch services provision.
On September 4, 2006, China's Ministry of Finance and Ministry of Construction jointly promulgated the Interim Measures for Administration of Special Funds for Application of Renewable Energy in Building Construction, which provides that the Ministry of Finance will arrange special funds to support the application of renewable energy in building construction in order to enhance building energy efficiency, protect the ecological environment and reduce the consumption of fossil energy. These special funds provide significant support for the application of solar energy in hot water supply, refrigeration and heating, PV technology and lighting integrated into building construction materials.
On October 28, 2007, the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress adopted amendments to the PRC Energy-saving Law, which sets forth policies to encourage the conservation of energy in manufacturing, civic buildings, transportation, government agents and utilities sectors. The amendments also seek to expand the use of the solar energy in construction areas.
In March 2009, China's Ministry of Finance promulgated the Interim Measures for Administration of Government Subsidy Funds for Application of Solar Photovoltaic Technology in Building Construction, or the Interim Measures, to support the demonstration and the promotion of solar PV applications in China. Local governments are encouraged to issue and implement supporting policies for the development of solar PV technology. These Interim Measures set forth subsidy funds set at RMB 20 per watt for 2009 to cover solar PV systems integrated into building construction that have a minimum capacity of 50 kilowatt peak.
In April 2009, the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development jointly issued the “Guidelines for Declaration of Demonstration Project of Solar Photovoltaic Building Applications.” These guidelines created a subsidy of up to RMB 20 per watt for building integrated PV or BIPV projects using solar-integrated building materials and components and up to RMB 15 per watt for BIPV projects using solar-integrated materials for rooftops or walls.
In July 2010, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development issued the “City Illumination Administration Provisions” or the Illumination Provision. The Illumination Provisions encourage the installation and use of renewable energy system such as PV systems in the process of construction and re-construction of city illumination projects.
On March 8, 2011, the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development jointly promulgated the Notice on Further Application of Renewable Energy in Building Construction, which aims to raise the percentage of renewable energy used in buildings.
On March 27, 2011, the NDRC promulgated the revised Guideline Catalogue for Industrial Restructuring which categorizes the solar power industry as an encouraged item.
On March 14, 2012, the Ministry of Finance, the NDRC and the National Energy Bureau jointly issued the interim measures for the management of additional subsidies for renewable-energy power prices, according to which relevant renewable-energy power generation enterprises are entitled to apply for subsidies for their renewable power generation projects that satisfy relevant requirements set forth in the measures.
On March 1, 2013, China's State Council issued the “Twelfth Five Year Plan.” The plan supports the promotion and development of renewable energy, including the solar energy. The plan also encourages the development of solar PV power stations in the areas with abundant solar power resource.
On November 18, 2013, the National Energy Bureau issued “The Interim Measures for the management of distributed photovoltaic power generation projects”. The regulation contributes to promote the application of distributed photovoltaic power and regulate the projects management.
On November 26, 2013, the Ministry of Finance announced that the power generated by its own distributed PV power generation project could be exempted from imposing government fee, such as renewable energy surcharges, fee for major national water conservancy construction, etc.
In January 2014, the National Energy Administration of China announced the PV installation target for 2014 to be 14GW, which includes 8GW for distributed PV systems and 6GW for large scale PV power plants.
In the same month, the National Energy Administration of China released a list of 81 “New Energy Demonstration Cities” and eight “industrial demonstration parks” in 28 and 8 provinces respectively. These cities and zones are required to achieve their respective mandatory targets in terms of solar PV installations and the percentage of installed renewable energy power generation capacities by the end of 2015, or the end of the 12th Five-Year-Plan.
In February 2014, the Certification and Accreditation Administration and the National Energy Administration jointly issued the “Implementation Opinions on Strengthening the Testing and Certification of PV Products.” The implementation opinions provide that only certified PV products may be connected to the public grid or receive government subsidies. The institutions that certify PV products must be approved by the Certification and Accreditation Administration. According to the implementation opinions, PV products that are subject to certification include PV battery parts, inverters, control devices, confluence devices, energy storage devices and independent PV systems.
In December, 2014, the National Energy Administration of China released a list of 30 “distributed solar photovoltaic industrial application demonstration zone” to encourage the development of distributed solar PV industry.
On January 28, 2015, the NEA of China announced the target for national solar installations in 2015 to be 15GW, 8GW of which would be targeted for utility scale, 7GW for distributed generation.
On December 24, 2015, the National Development and Reform Commission promulgated the Notice on the improvement of photovoltaic electricity price, which announced a new standard on-grid price implemented from January 1, 2016 for solar PV electricity.
On December 15, 2015, the National Energy Bureau announced the annual plan for the development of solar PV. The solar power installed capacity will reach 160GW, and total annual investment will reach 200 billion RMB for 2016, in the light of the plan.
Effect of Existing or Probable Governmental Regulations on the Business
We are subject to the Exchange Act and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Under the Exchange Act, and are required to file with the SEC annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act creates a strong and independent accounting oversight board to oversee the conduct of auditors of public companies and to strengthen auditor independence. It also (1) requires steps be taken to enhance the direct responsibility of senior members of management for financial reporting and for the quality of financial disclosures made by public companies; (2) establishes clear statutory rules to limit, and to expose to public view, possible conflicts of interest affecting securities analysts; (3) creates guidelines for audit committee members’ appointment, and compensation and oversight of the work of public companies’ auditors; (4) prohibits certain insider trading during pension fund blackout periods; and (5) establishes a federal crime of securities fraud, among other provisions.
We are also subject to Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act, which requires all companies with securities registered pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act to comply with the rules and regulations of the SEC regarding proxy solicitations, as outlined in Regulation 14A. Matters submitted to our stockholders at a special or annual meeting thereof or pursuant to a written consent will require us to provide our stockholders with the information outlined in Schedules 14A or 14C of Regulation 14A. Preliminary copies of this information must be submitted to the SEC at least 10 days prior to the date that definitive copies of this information are provided to our stockholders.

Available Information
Our periodic reports including annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and other reports, and amendments to those reports, and other forms that we file with or furnish to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) are available to review on the SEC’s EDGAR website.
Corporate Governance
In accordance with and pursuant to relevant related rules and regulations of the SEC, the Board of Directors of the Company has established and periodically update our corporate governance guide, which is applicable to all directors, officers, and employees of the Company. We have not yet established an audit committee of our board of directors.
Risks Relating to Our Business
Our business plan involves a number of very significant risks. Our future business, operating results and financial condition could be seriously harmed as a result of the occurrence of any of the following risks. You could lose all or part of your investment due to any of these risks. You should invest in our common stock only if you can afford to lose your entire investment.
We conduct substantially all of our operations in China, and substantially all of our assets are located in China. In addition, a majority of our current officers reside within China and are PRC nationals. As a result, it may be difficult for our shareholders to effect service of process upon us or those persons inside the PRC.
In addition, the PRC does not have treaties providing for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments of courts with many other countries and regions. Therefore, recognition and enforcement in the PRC of judgments of a court in any of these non-PRC jurisdictions in relation to any matter not subject to a binding arbitration provision may be difficult or impossible.
Enforceability of Civil Liabilities
Our business operations are primarily conducted in China, and substantially all of our assets are located in China. Our sole officers and directors reside in mainland China and most of his assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for a shareholder to effect service of process within the United States upon this officers and directors, to bring an action against us or this individual in the United States, or to enforce judgement against us that are obtained in United States courts, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States.
The recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments are subject to compliance with the PRC Civil Procedures Law and relevant civil procedure requirements in PRC. PRC courts may recognize and enforce foreign judgments in accordance with the requirements of PRC Civil Procedures Law based either on treaties between China and the country where the judgment is made or on reciprocity between jurisdictions. China does not have any treaties or other form of reciprocity with the United States that provide for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments. In addition, according to the PRC Civil Procedures Law, courts in China will not enforce a foreign judgment against the Company or its directors and officers if they decide that the judgment violates the basic principles of PRC law or national sovereignty, security or public interest. As a result, it is uncertain whether and on what basis a PRC court would enforce a judgment rendered by a court in the United States.
There is uncertainty as to whether the courts of China would:
| · | recognize or enforce judgments of United States courts obtained against us or our directors or officers predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States; or |
| · | entertain original actions brought in each respective jurisdiction against us or our directors or officers predicated upon the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States. |
Furthermore, under the PRC Civil Procedures Law, foreign shareholders may originate actions based on PRC law against a company in China for disputes if they can establish sufficient nexus to China for a PRC court to have jurisdiction and meet other procedural requirements. It will be, however, difficult for U.S. shareholders to originate actions against us in China in accordance with PRC laws because we are incorporated under the laws of the United States and it will be difficult for U.S. shareholders, by virtue only of holding the Company’s common shares, to establish a connection to China for a PRC court to have jurisdiction as required under the PRC Civil Procedures Law.
Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (“HFCAA”)
Pursuant to the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (“HFCAA”), the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the “PCAOB”) issued a Determination Report on December 16, 2021 which found that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms headquartered in: (1) mainland China of the People’s Republic of China because of a position taken by one or more authorities in mainland China; and (2) Hong Kong, a Special Administrative Region and dependency of the PRC, because of a position taken by one or more authorities in Hong Kong. In addition, the PCAOB’s report identified the specific registered public accounting firms which are subject to these determinations. Our registered public accounting firm, BF Borgers CPA PC, is based in the U.S. and is registered with PCAOB and was not identified in this report as a firm subject to the PCAOB’s determination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the PCAOB is not able to fully conduct inspections of our auditor’s work papers in China, you may be deprived of the benefits of such inspection which could result in limitation or restriction to our access to the U.S. capital markets and trading of our securities may be prohibited under the HFCAA.
Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, as amended by the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023
On December 15, 2022, the PCAOB vacated its 2021 determinations that the positions taken by authorities in mainland China and Hong Kong prevented it from inspecting and investigating completely registered public accounting firms headquartered in those jurisdictions. As a result, the Commission will not provisionally or conclusively identify an issuer as a Commission-Identified Issuer if it files an annual report with an audit report issued by a registered public accounting firm headquartered in either jurisdiction on or after December 15, 2022, until such time as the PCAOB issues a new determination.
On December 29, 2022, the President signed the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023, which, among other things, amended the HFCAA to reduce the number of consecutive years an issuer can be identified as a Commission-Identified Issuer before the Commission must impose an initial trading prohibition on the issuer’s securities from three years to two years. Therefore, once an issuer is identified as a Commission-Identified Issuer for two consecutive years, the Commission is required under the HCFAA to prohibit the trading of the issuer’s securities on a national securities exchange and in the over-the-counter market.
PRC laws and regulations governing our current business operations are sometimes vague and uncertain. Uncertainties with respect to the PRC legal system, including those regarding the enforcement of laws, and sudden or unexpected changes, with little advance notice, in laws and regulations in China could adversely affect us and limit the legal protections available to you and us.
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 and the enforcement and performance of our arrangements with customers in certain circumstances. The laws and regulations are sometimes vague and may be subject to future changes, and their official interpretation and enforcement could be unpredictable, with little advance notice. The effectiveness and interpretation of newly enacted laws or regulations, including amendments to existing laws and regulations, may be delayed, and our business may be affected if we rely on laws and regulations which are subsequently adopted or interpreted in a manner different from our understanding of these laws and regulations. New laws and regulations that affect existing and proposed future businesses may also be applied retroactively. We cannot predict what effect the interpretation of existing or new PRC laws or regulations may have on our business.
Our operations in China are governed by the laws of the PRC. The PRC legal system is a civil law system based on written statutes. Unlike the common law system, prior court decisions under the civil law system may be cited for reference but have limited precedential value. Since these laws and regulations are relatively new and the PRC legal system continues to rapidly evolve, the interpretations of many laws, regulations and rules are not always uniform and the enforcement of these laws, regulations and rules involves uncertainties.
The PRC has promulgated a comprehensive system of laws and regulations governing economic matters in general, such as foreign investment, corporate organization and governance, commerce, taxation and trade. The overall effect of legislation over the past three decades has significantly enhanced the protections afforded to various forms of foreign investments in China. However, since the PRC legal system continues to evolve rapidly, the interpretations of many laws, regulations and rules are not always uniform and enforcement of these laws, regulations and rules involves uncertainties and sudden changes, sometimes with little advance notice. As a significant part of our business is conducted in China, our operations are principally governed by PRC laws and regulations, which may limit legal protections available to us. Uncertainties due to evolving laws and regulations could also impede the ability of a China-based company, such as our company, to obtain or maintain any permits or licenses required to conduct business in China. In the absence of required permits or licenses, governmental authorities could impose material sanctions or penalties on us. In addition, some regulatory requirements issued by certain PRC government authorities may not be consistently applied by other PRC government authorities (including local government authorities), thus making strict compliance with all regulatory requirements impractical, or in some circumstances impossible. For example, we may have to resort to administrative and court proceedings to enforce the legal protection that we enjoy either by law or contract. However, since PRC administrative and court authorities have discretion in interpreting and implementing statutory and contractual terms, it may be more difficult to predict the outcome of administrative and court proceedings and the level of legal protection we enjoy than in more developed legal systems. Furthermore, the PRC legal system is based in part on government policies and internal rules, some of which are not published on a timely basis or at all and may have retroactive effect. As a result, we may not be aware of our violation of any of these policies and rules until sometime after the violation. In addition, any administrative and court proceedings in China may be protracted, resulting in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention.
The PRC government has significant oversight and discretion over the conduct of our business and may intervene or influence our operations as the government deems appropriate to further regulatory, political and societal goals. The PRC government has recently published new policies that significantly affected certain industries such as the education and internet industries, and we cannot rule out the possibility that it will in the future release regulations or policies regarding our industry that could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, the PRC government has recently indicated an intent to exert more oversight and control over securities offerings and other capital markets activities that are conducted overseas and foreign investment in China-based companies like us. Any such action, once taken by the PRC government, could 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 in extreme cases, become worthless.
Furthermore, if China adopts more stringent standards with respect to certain areas such as environmental protection or corporate social responsibilities, we may incur increased compliance costs or become subject to additional restrictions in our operations. Certain areas of the law, including intellectual property rights and confidentiality protections in China may also not be as effective as in the United States or other countries. In addition, we cannot predict the effects of future developments in the PRC legal system on our business operations, including the promulgation of new laws, or changes to existing laws or the interpretation or enforcement thereof. These uncertainties could limit the legal protections available to us and our investors, including you.
The PRC government may continue to strengthen its capital controls and the dividends of PRC subsidiaries and other distributions may be subject to tightened scrutiny in the future. The PRC government also imposes controls on the conversion of RMB into foreign currencies and the remittance of currencies out of the PRC. Therefore, we may experience difficulties in completing the administrative procedures necessary to obtain and remit foreign currency for the payment of dividends from profits, if any. Furthermore, if a subsidiary in the PRC incurs debt on its own in the future, the instruments governing the debt may restrict its ability to pay dividends or make other payments.
In addition, the Enterprise Income Tax Law, or EIT, and its implementation rules provide that a withholding tax rate of up to 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. Any limitation on the ability of PRC subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other distributions to us could materially and adversely limit our ability to grow, make investments or acquisitions that could be beneficial to our business, pay dividends, or otherwise fund and conduct our business.
Risk of adverse Changes in China’s economic, political or social conditions or government policies
Substantially all of our assets and operations are located in the PRC. Accordingly, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be influenced to a significant degree by political, economic and social conditions in the PRC generally. The Chinese government continues to play a significant role in regulating industry development by imposing industrial policies. In addition, in the past the Chinese government has implemented certain measures, including interest rate adjustment, to control the pace of economic growth. These measures, or other economic, political, or social developments in China may cause decreased economic activity in the PRC, which may adversely affect our business and operating results.
Permissions from the PRC Authorities to Issue Our Common Stock to Foreign Investors
As of the date of this filing, we (1) are not required to obtain permissions from any PRC authorities to issue our Common Stock to foreign investors, (2) are not subject to permission requirements from the China Securities Regulatory Commission (the “CSRC”), the Cyberspace Administration of China (the “CAC”) or any other entity that is required to approve of our PRC subsidiary’s operations, and (3) have not received or were denied such permissions by any PRC authorities. Nevertheless, 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 Severely Cracking Down on Illegal Securities Activities According to Law,” or the Opinions, which were made available to the public on July 6, 2021. The Opinions emphasized the need to strengthen the administration over illegal securities activities, and the need to strengthen the supervision over overseas listings by Chinese companies. Given the current PRC regulatory environment, it is uncertain when and whether we 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. We have been closely monitoring regulatory developments in China regarding any necessary approvals from the CSRC or other PRC governmental authorities required for overseas listings, including this offering. As of the date of this prospectus, we have not received any inquiry, notice, warning, sanctions or regulatory objection to this offering from the CSRC or other PRC governmental authorities. However, there remains significant uncertainty as to the enactment, interpretation and implementation of regulatory requirements related to overseas securities offerings and other capital markets activities.
On December 24, 2021, the CSRC released the Administrative Provisions of the State Council Regarding the Overseas Issuance and Listing of Securities by Domestic Enterprises and the Measures for the Overseas Issuance of Securities and Listing Record-Filings by Domestic Enterprises, both of which had a comment period that expired on January 23, 2022, and if enacted, may subject us to additional compliance requirement in the future. According to Relevant Officials of the CSRC Answered Reporter Questions(“CSRC Answers”), after the Administration Provisions and Measures are implemented upon completion of public consultation and due legislative procedures, the CSRC will formulate and issue guidance for filing procedures to further specify the details of filing administration and ensure that market entities could refer to clear guidelines for filing, which means it still takes time to make the Administration Provisions and Measures into effect. As the Administration Provisions and Measures have not yet come into effect, we are currently unaffected. However, according to CSRC Answers, only new initial public offerings and refinancing by existent overseas listed Chinese companies will be required to go through the filing process; other existent overseas listed companies will be allowed sufficient transition period to complete their filing procedure, we will certainly go through the filing process in the future, perhaps because of refinancing or given by sufficient transition period to complete filing procedure as an existent overseas listed Chinese company.
However, it is uncertain when the Administration Provision and the Measures will take effect or if they will take effect as currently drafted. If it is determined in the future that the approval of the CSRC, the CAC or any other regulatory authority is required for this offering, we may face sanctions by the CSRC, the CAC or other PRC regulatory agencies. These regulatory agencies may impose fines and penalties on our operations in China, limit our ability to pay dividends outside of China, limit our operations in China, delay or restrict the repatriation of the proceeds from this offering into China or take other actions that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, as well as the trading price of our securities. The CSRC, the CAC, or other PRC regulatory agencies also may take actions requiring us, or making it advisable for us, to halt this offering before settlement and delivery of our Common Stock. Consequently, if you engage in market trading or other activities in anticipation of and prior to settlement and delivery, you do so at the risk that settlement and delivery may not occur. In addition, if the CSRC, the CAC or other regulatory PRC agencies later promulgate new rules requiring that we obtain their approvals for this offering, we may be unable to obtain a waiver of such approval requirements, if and when procedures are established to obtain such a waiver. Any uncertainties and/or negative publicity regarding such an approval requirement could have a material adverse effect on the trading price of our securities.
We have incurred operating losses, and have no current source of revenue
We do not expect to generate revenues until we further our business model. We can provide no assurance that we will produce any material revenues for our stockholders, or that our contemplated business will operate on a profitable basis. We have generated no revenue for the last two fiscal years that are reported in this statement.
We will, likely, sustain operating expenses without corresponding revenues, at least until we generate more business from gyms and our marketing efforts increase the popularity of our brand. This may result in our incurring a net operating loss that will increase until we increase our client base. We cannot assure you that any such business will be profitable at the time.
Our capital resources may not be sufficient to meet our capital requirements, and in the absence of additional resources we may have to curtail or cease business operations
We have historically generated negative cash flow and losses from operations and could experience negative cash flow and losses from operations in the future. Our independent auditors have included an explanatory paragraph in their report on our financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023, and 2022 expressing doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. We currently only have a minimal amount of cash available, which will not be sufficient to fund our anticipated future operating needs. The Company will need to raise substantial sums to implement its business plan. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising funds. To the extent that the Company is unable to raise funds, we will be required to reduce our planned operations or cease any operations.
We may encounter substantial competition in the public company compliance consulting industry and our failure to compete effectively may adversely affect our ability to generate revenue
We believe that existing and new competitors will continue to improve in cost control and performance in whatever business we acquire. We have a good number of competitors, and we will be required to continue to invest in service development and productivity improvements to compete effectively in our industry. Our competitors could develop innovative services or undertake more aggressive and costly marketing campaigns than ours, which may adversely affect our marketing strategies and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Regulatory approvals for our services
At this time the Company is subject to OTC Markets and Securities and Exchange Commission regulations relating to our business model. However, our future business may be subject to additional laws and regulations.
We may face a number of risks associated with our business services, including the possibility that we may incur substantial debt or convertible debt, which could adversely affect our financial condition
We intend to use reasonable efforts to continue our business within the industry of regulatory compliance consulting for public companies. The risks commonly encountered in implementing and maintaining a business plan is insufficient revenues to offset increased expenses associated with operating expenses, marketing, and possibly finding a merger candidate. Additionally, we operate a small business at this time so our expenses are likely to increase, and it is possible that we may incur substantial debt or convertible debt in order to grow our business, which can adversely affect our financial condition. Incurring a substantial amount of debt or convertible debt may require us to use a significant portion of our cash flow to pay principal and interest on the debt, which will reduce the amount available to fund working capital, capital expenditures, and other general purposes. Our indebtedness may negatively impact our ability to operate our business and limit our ability to borrow additional funds by increasing our borrowing costs, and impact the terms, conditions, and restrictions contained in possible future debt agreements, including the addition of more restrictive covenants; impact our flexibility in planning for and reacting to changes in our business as covenants and restrictions contained in possible future debt arrangements may require that we meet certain financial tests and place restrictions on the incurrence of additional indebtedness and place us at a disadvantage compared to similar companies in our industry that have less debt.
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 a small operation and continued implementation of our business model is highly speculative, there is a consequent risk of loss of an investment in the Company. The success of our 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 in additional to our marketing efforts, we cannot provide any assurance that we will be successful in locating opportunities meeting that criterion. The success of our operations will be dependent upon management, its financial position and numerous other factors beyond our control.
The Company has a limited operating history
Although CHJI has was incorporated in 2009, we have a limited operating history. The Company has undergone several changes in our corporate name, nature of business, and subsidiaries being sold off.
The Company was in the industry of mining and now in the business of clean energy. The Company has been unable to continue its business model due to lack of securing capital to fulfill its obligations.
CHJI has, as of this filing, incurred losses throughout its operating history. CHJI was ultimately abandoned by management in 2017 due to the lack of capital to continue its operations.
Current management has implemented a new business model and plans to grow the company, however CHJI has limited operating history in its current industry, regulatory compliance for small public companies.
Investing in our Company involves a high degree of risk. Our ability to grow, retain and engage new clients, while increasing our revenue depends on our ability to successfully market our services. We have generated no revenue to date and our ability to continue operations is not presently known. Risks we consider immaterial could ultimately harm our business. If we don’t raise sufficient capital to maintain operations, market our services, and grow our clientele, we will be unable to continue our business model. Our stock could decline, and investors may lose all or part of your investment.
We have incurred increased costs as a result of becoming a reporting company, and given our limited capital resources, such additional costs may have an adverse impact on our profitability.
We are an SEC reporting company. The Company is currently a small business and has limited revenue. However, the rules and regulations under the Exchange Act require a public company to provide periodic reports with interactive data files which requires the Company to engage legal, accounting and auditing services, and XBRL and EDGAR service providers. The engagement of such services can be costly, and the Company is likely to incur losses, which may adversely affect the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as a variety of related rules implemented by the SEC, have required changes in corporate governance practices and generally increased the disclosure requirements of public companies. For example, as a result of becoming a reporting company, we are required to file periodic and current reports and other information with the SEC, and we must adopt policies regarding disclosure controls and procedures and regularly evaluate those controls and process.
The additional costs we have incurred in connection with becoming a reporting company will serve to further stretch our limited capital resources. The expenses incurred for filing periodic reports and implementing disclosure controls and procedures may be as high as $50,000 USD annually. In other words, due to our limited resources, we may have to allocate resources away from other productive uses to pay any expenses we incur in order to comply with our obligations as an SEC reporting company. Further, there is no guarantee that we will have sufficient resources to meet our continued reporting and filing obligations with the SEC as they come due.
The time and cost of preparing a private company to become a public reporting company may preclude us from entering into an acquisition or merger with the most attractive private companies
From time to time the Company may come across target merger companies. These companies may fail to comply with SEC reporting requirements may delay or preclude acquisitions. Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act require reporting companies to provide certain information about significant acquisitions, including certified financial statements for the company acquired, covering one or two years, depending on the relative size of the acquisition. The time and additional costs that may be incurred by some target entities to prepare these statements may significantly delay or essentially preclude consummation of an acquisition. Otherwise, suitable acquisition prospects that do not have or are unable to obtain the required audited statements may be inappropriate for acquisition so long as the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act are applicable.
A Business merger may result in a change of control and a change of management
In conjunction with a business acquisition, it is anticipated that we may issue an amount of our authorized but unissued common or preferred stock which represents the majority of the voting power and equity of our capital stock, which would result in stockholders of a target company obtaining a controlling interest in us. As a condition of the business combination agreement, our current stockholders may agree to sell or transfer all or a portion of our common stock as to provide the target company with all or majority control. The resulting change in control may result in removal of our present officers and directors and a corresponding reduction in or elimination of their participation in any future affairs.
We depend on our officers and the loss of their services would have an adverse effect on our business
We have one officer and director of the Company, and this is critical to our chances for business success. We are dependent on her services to operate our business and the loss of this person would have an adverse impact on our future operations until such time she could be replaced, if she could be replaced. We do not have employment contracts or employment agreements with our officer, and we do not carry key man life insurance on her life.
Because we are significantly smaller than some of our competitors, we may lack the resources needed to capture market share
We are at a disadvantage as smaller operating company; we are a development stage business. Many of our competitors have already established their business, more established market presence, and substantially greater financial, marketing, and other resources than do we. New competitors may emerge and may develop new or innovative services that compete directly with our business services. No assurance can be given that we will be able to compete successfully within the public company compliance industry.
Our ability to use our net operating loss carry-forwards and certain other tax attributes may be limited
We have incurred losses during our history. To the extent that we continue to generate taxable losses, unused losses will carry forward to offset future taxable income, if any, until such unused losses expire. Under Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, if a corporation undergoes an “ownership change,” generally defined as a greater than 50% change (by value) in its equity ownership over a three-year period, the corporation’s ability to use its pre-change net operating loss carry-forwards, or NOLs, and other pre-change tax attributes (such as research tax credits) to offset its post-change income may be limited. We may experience ownership changes in the future because of subsequent shifts in our stock ownership. As a result, if we earn net taxable income, our ability to use our pre-change net operating loss carryforwards to offset U.S. federal taxable income may be subject to limitations, which could potentially result in increased future tax liability to us. In addition, at the state level, there may be periods during which the use of NOLs is suspended or otherwise limited, which could accelerate or permanently increase state taxes owed.
Our ability to hire and retain key personnel will be an important factor in the success of our business and a failure to hire and retain key personnel may result in our inability to grow our business
Our management has extensive experience when acting in the officer and director capacity, however we will need to hire additional personnel and we may not be able to attract and retain the necessary qualified personnel. If we are unable to retain or to hire qualified personnel as required, we may not be able to adequately manage and continue our business model.
Legal disputes could have an impact on our Company
We engage in business matters that are common to the business world that can result in disputations of a legal nature. In the event the Company is ever sued or finds it necessary to bring suit against others, there is the potential that the results of any such litigation could have an adverse impact on the Company.
Breaches in data security and lapses in data privacy may adversely impact our business operations
We have not been impacted by breaches in data security or lapses in data privacy, which may occur from time to time. These can vary in scope and intent from motivated driven attacks to malicious attacks intended to disrupt or compromise our operations by targeting our operating system. Breach or circumvention of our system or the systems of third parties, including by ransomware or malware, through vulnerabilities in licensed software or hardware, or as a result of other attacks may lead to disruptions in our business operations; unauthorized access to (or the loss of company access to) competitively sensitive, confidential or other critical data (including sensitive financial or business information) or systems; loss of customers; financial losses; regulatory investigations, enforcement actions and fines; litigation; and misuse or corruption of critical data and proprietary information, any of which could be material.
Additionally, we may rely on third parties in helping us to implement and manage our cyber security risk management processes. Any measures that we take, and such third parties take to avoid, detect, mitigate, or recover from material cyber security threats or incidents can be expensive, and may be insufficient, circumvented, or may become ineffective.
Risks Related to Our Shareholders and Shares of Common Stock
Our Company is currently listed as Pink Current Information on the OTC Markets platform
Our stock quote is currently listed on OTC Markets. The market for our stock is uncertain at this time. Our stock is not eligible for proprietary broker-dealer quotations. All quotes in our stock reflect unsolicited customer orders. Unsolicited-Only stocks have a higher risk of wider spreads, increased volatility, and price dislocations. Investors may have difficulty selling this stock. An initial review by a broker-dealer under SEC Rule15c2-11 is required for brokers to publish competing quotes and provide continuous market making. Our securities could be particularly illiquid due to being listed on this market and that if we remain on the Pink Current Information, it could impede a potential merger, acquisition, reverse merger or our current business pursuant to which the company could cease to be an operating company.
The regulation of penny stocks by the SEC may discourage the tradability of our securities.
We are a “penny stock” company. Our common stock trades on the OTCQB and we are subject to a SEC rule that imposes special sales practice requirements upon broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers or accredited investors. For purposes of the rule, the phrase “accredited investors” means, in general terms, institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000, or individuals having a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or having an annual income that exceeds $200,000 (or that, when combined with a spouse's income, exceeds $300,000). For transactions covered by the rule, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction prior to the sale. Effectively, this discourages broker-dealers from executing trades in penny stocks. Consequently, the rule will affect the ability of investors to sell their securities in any market that might develop therefore because it imposes additional regulatory burdens on penny stock transactions.
In addition, the SEC has adopted a number of rules to regulate “penny stocks”. Such rules include Rules 3a51-1, 15g-1, 15g-2, 15g-3, 15g-4, 15g-5, 15g-6, 15g-7, and 15g-9 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Because our securities constitute “penny stocks” within the meaning of the rules, the rules would apply to us and to our securities. The rules will further affect the ability of owners of shares to sell our securities in any market that might develop for them because it imposes additional regulatory burdens on penny stock transactions.
Shareholders should be aware that, according to the SEC, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include (i) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; (ii) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (iii) “boiler room” practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; (iv) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (v) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired consequent investor losses. Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market. Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent the described patterns from being established with respect to our securities.
There is presently a limited public market for our securities
Our common stock trades on an unsolicited basis only on the OTC Markets, and an active market may never develop. Future sales of our common stock by existing stockholders pursuant to an effective registration statement or upon the availability of Rule 144 could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. A shareholder who decides to sell some, or all, of their shares in a private transaction may be unable to locate persons who are willing to purchase the shares, given the restrictions. Also, because of the various risk factors described above, the price of the publicly traded common stock may be highly volatile and not provide the true market price of our common stock.
Our stock trades on an unsolicited basis only, so you may be unable to sell your shares at or near the quoted bid prices if you need to sell a significant number of your shares
Even if our stock becomes trading, it is likely that our common stock will be thinly traded, meaning that the number of persons interested in purchasing our common shares at or near bid prices at any given time may be relatively small or non-existent. This situation is attributable to a number of factors, including the fact that we are a small company which is relatively unknown to stock analysts, stock brokers, institutional investors and others in the investment community that generate or influence sales volume, and that even if we came to the attention of such persons, they tend to be risk-averse and would be reluctant to follow an unproven company such as ours or purchase or recommend the purchase of our shares until such time as we became more seasoned and viable. Consequently, there may be periods of several days or more when trading activity in our shares is minimal or non-existent, as compared to a seasoned issuer which has a large and steady volume of trading activity that will generally support continuous sales without an adverse effect on share price. We cannot give you any assurance that a broader or more active public trading market for our common shares will develop or be sustained, or that current trading levels will be sustained. Due to these conditions, we can give you no assurance that you will be able to sell your shares at or near bid prices or at all if you need money or otherwise desire to liquidate your shares.
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 500,000,000 shares of common stock of which 64,629,559 shares are currently outstanding and 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock are authorized, of which 10,000,000 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock are authorized and 1,000,000 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. If our convertible preferred stockholders choose to convert their stocks to common stocks, the stocks they receive are newly issued. This increases the total number of common shares. Because the number of common shares increases while the value of the company remains the same, the value of existing shares goes down. In other words, the new common shares dilute the value of all the common shares, which drives down the share price, give current shareholders fewer voting rights and less ownership of the company.
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.
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.
Our director has the authority to authorize the issuance of preferred stock
Our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, authorize the Company to issue an aggregate of 10,000,000 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.
We have never paid dividends on our common stock, nor are we likely to pay dividends in the foreseeable future. Therefore, you may not derive any income solely from ownership of our stock
We have never declared or paid dividends on our common stock and do not presently intend to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. We anticipate that any funds available for payment of dividends will be re-invested into the Company to further our business strategy. This means that your potential for economic gain from ownership of our stock depends on appreciation of our stock price and will only be realized by a sale of the stock at a price higher than your purchase price.
If we are unable to establish appropriate internal financial reporting controls and procedures, it could cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations, result in the restatement of our financial statements, harm our operating results, subject us to regulatory scrutiny and sanction, cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and have a negative effect on the market price for shares of our common stock.
Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and to prevent fraud effectively. We maintain a system of internal control over financial reporting, which is defined as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, 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 financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
As a public company, we have significant requirements for enhanced financial reporting and internal controls. We are required to document and test our internal control procedures in order to satisfy the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which requires annual management assessments of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting. The process of designing and implementing effective internal controls is a continuous effort that requires us to anticipate and react to changes in our business and economic and regulatory environments, and to expend significant resources to maintain a system of internal controls that is adequate to satisfy our reporting obligations as a public company.
We cannot assure you that we will, in the future, identify areas requiring improvement in our internal control over financial reporting. We cannot assure you that the measures we will take to remediate any areas in need of improvement will be successful or that we will implement and maintain adequate controls over our financial processes and reporting in the future as we continue our growth. If we are unable to establish appropriate internal financial reporting controls and procedures, it could cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations, result in the restatement of our financial statements, harm our operating results, subject us to regulatory scrutiny and sanction, cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and have a negative effect on the market price for shares of our common stock.
Our Articles of Incorporation provide our directors with limited liability.
Our Articles of Incorporation state that our directors shall not be personally liable to us or any stockholder for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for any matter in respect of which such director shall be liable under Section 78.138(7) of the Nevada Revised Statutes (the “NRS”) or shall be liable because the director (1) shall acted or omitted to act which involves intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law; or (2) paid dividends in violation of Section 78.300 of the NRS. Our Articles of Incorporation further state that the liability of our directors shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the NRS, as it may be amended. These provisions may discourage stockholders from bringing suit against a director for breach of fiduciary duty and may reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation brought by stockholders on our behalf against a director.
Our financial controls and procedures may not be sufficient to ensure timely and reliable reporting of financial information, which, as a public company, could materially harm our stock price.
As a public reporting company, we require significant financial resources to maintain our public reporting status. We cannot assure you we will be able to maintain adequate resources to ensure that we will not have any future material weakness in our system of internal controls. The effectiveness of our controls and procedures may in the future be limited by a variety of factors including:
| · | faulty human judgment and simple errors, omissions or mistakes; |
| · | fraudulent action of an individual or collusion of two or more people; |
| · | inappropriate management override of procedures; and |
| · | the possibility that any enhancements to controls and procedures may still not be adequate to assure timely and accurate financial information. |
Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Despite these controls, because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Furthermore, smaller reporting companies like us face additional limitations. Smaller reporting companies employ fewer individuals and can find it difficult to employ resources for complicated transactions and effective risk management. Additionally, smaller reporting companies tend to utilize general accounting software packages that lack a rigorous set of software controls.
Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023 and concluded as a result of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2023 The ineffectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures was due to the following material weaknesses our internal control over financial reporting, which are common to many small companies: (1) lack of sufficient personnel commensurate with the Company’s reporting requirements; (2) the Company did not consistently establish appropriate authorities and responsibilities in pursuit of the Company’s financial reporting objectives; and (3) insufficient written documentation or training of internal control policies and procedures which provide staff with guidance or framework for accounting and disclosing financial transactions (4) the Company has only one officer and director.
If we fail to have effective controls and procedures for financial reporting in place, we could be unable to provide timely and accurate financial information and be subject to investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and civil or criminal sanctions.
Because our directors and executive officers are among our largest stockholders, they can exert significant control over our business and affairs and have actual or potential interests that may depart from those of investors.
Certain of our executive officers and directors own a significant percentage of shares of our outstanding capital stock. As of the date of this prospectus, our executive officers and directors and their respective affiliates beneficially own 100% of the outstanding voting stock for our Preferred C shares. The holdings of our directors and executive officers may increase further in the future upon vesting or other maturation of exercise rights under any of the options or warrants they may hold or in the future be granted, or if they otherwise acquire additional shares of our common stock. The interests of such persons may differ from the interests of our other stockholders. As a result, in addition to their board seats and offices, such persons will have significant influence and control over all corporate actions requiring stockholder approval, irrespective of how our company’s other stockholders may vote, including the following actions:
| · | to elect or defeat the election of our directors; and |
| · | to amend or prevent amendment of our articles of incorporation or by-laws; and |
| · | to effect or prevent a merger, sale of assets or other corporate transaction; and |
| · | to control the outcome of any other matter submitted to our stockholders for a vote. |
As a result, our sole office and director, and controlling shareholder, can determine the outcome of any actions taken by us that require stockholder approval. For example, she will be able to elect all our directors, control the policies and practices of the Company and control the outcome of any proposed business combination.
This concentration of ownership by itself may have the effect of impeding a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business consolidation, or discouraging a potential acquirer from making a tender offer for our common stock, which in turn could reduce the price of the shares of our common stock price or prevent our stockholders from realizing a premium over the price of our common stock. Investing in our stock is risky and investors could lose their entire investment.
In addition, Section 13 of our By-laws state the following:
Section 13 Super Majority Votes: Motions on the following issues shall require the vote of at least sixty-five percent (65%) of the Stockholders to carry:
| A. | Amending these By-Laws; |
| C. | Removal of the Director or any Officer; |
| D. | Issuing New Shares of stock; |
| E. | Issuing New Classes of Shares; |
| F. | Terminating or rejecting the defense or indemnity of any Director, Officer, agent, or employee; and |
| G. | Terminating, Dissolving, or winding down the business affairs of the Corporation or liquidating more than half of the assets and property of the Corporation. |
Our Preferred A shareholder has over 65% of the voting shares and will carry the necessary votes to determine the outcome for all the above-mentioned actions.
Section 15 of our By-laws state the following:
Section 15 Stock Transfer Restrictions. A Stockholder contemplating a sale or transfer of any shares of Stock in the Corporation to any third party shall first provide written Notice of Intent to Sell Stock to the Board and all the other Stockholders which shall include the name of the proposed purchaser and the full terms and conditions of the proposed sale. The other Stockholders shall have thirty (30) days from Notice of Intent t2o Sell Stock to give written Notice of Intent to Purchase Stock on the same terms and conditions as set forth in the Notice of Intent to Sell Stock.
If no Stockholder gives Notice of Intent to Purchase Stock within thirty (30) days, then the Stockholder may sell as set forth in the Notice of Intent to Sell Stock provided that a majority of the remaining Stockholders approve the sale or transfer to the proposed third-party purchaser.
Any purported sale or transfer of shares of Stock in the Corporation undertaken without compliance with all the provisions of Section 15 shall be void and without effect.
Any potential purchaser of shares of Stock in the Corporation Buyer shall be advised of the restrictions imposed by these By-Laws and Nevada law, including but not limited to Chapters 78, 78A, and 90 of the Nevada Revised Statutes.
Under Section 78.242 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, this provision applies to the holders of restricted stock that has not been registered in is being sold or transferred in a private sale. It is the policy of our Board to review the private sale and approve the sale if all required documentation is in order. The majority stockholder must also approve the sale. In this case, it is our Preferred C Stock shareholder, who is also our officer and director.
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, has adopted sales practice requirements that may also limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.
In addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, FINRA has adopted rules that require that, in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.
Trends, Risks and Uncertainties
We have sought to identify what we believe to be the most significant risks to our business, but we cannot predict whether, or to what extent, any of such risks may be realized nor can we guarantee that we have identified all possible risks that might arise. Investors should carefully consider all of such risk factors before making an investment decision with respect to our common stock.
Item 1B. | Unresolved Staff Comments |

Risk management and strategy
We have limited exposure to cybersecurity threats. We have established policies and processes for assessing, identifying, and managing material risk from cybersecurity threats, and have integrated these processes into our overall risk management systems and processes. We routinely assess material risks from cybersecurity threats, including any potential unauthorized occurrence on or conducted through our information systems that may result in adverse effects on the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of our information systems or any information residing therein.
We conduct periodic risk assessments to identify cybersecurity threats, as well as assessments in the event of a material change in our business practices that may affect information systems that are vulnerable to such cybersecurity threats. These risk assessments include identification of reasonably foreseeable internal and external risks, the likelihood and potential damage that could result from such risks, and the sufficiency of existing policies, procedures, systems, and safeguards in place to manage such risks.
Following these risk assessments, we re-design, implement, and maintain reasonable safeguards to minimize identified risks; reasonably address any identified gaps in existing safeguards; and regularly monitor the effectiveness of our safeguards. Primary responsibility for assessing, monitoring, and managing our cybersecurity risks rests with our Chief Executive Officer and will employee the expertise of an IT consultant if our risk management assessment warrants.
As part of our overall risk management system, our CEO will monitor and test our safeguards, in collaboration with outside IT consultants.
We will engage consultants, or other third parties in connection with our risk assessment processes. These service providers will assist us to design and implement our cybersecurity policies and procedures, as well as to monitor and test our safeguards. We require each third-party service provider to certify that it has the ability to implement and maintain appropriate security measures, consistent with all applicable laws, to implement and maintain reasonable security measures in connection with their work with us, and to promptly report any suspected breach of its security measures that may affect our company.
We have not encountered cybersecurity challenges that have materially impaired our operations or financial standing. For additional information regarding risks from cybersecurity threats, please refer to Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in this annual report on Form 10-K.
Governance
We maintain informed oversight of our risk management process, including risks from cybersecurity threats. Our board of directors and chief executive officer are responsible for monitoring and assessing strategic risk exposure, the day-to-day management of the material risks we face. Our board of directors and executive officer administer our cybersecurity risk oversight regarding third party providers.

Item 9A. | Controls and Procedures. |
Management’s Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting. Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to management regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements.
Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, misstatements, errors, and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been or will be prevented or detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks that internal controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or through the deterioration of the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2023, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Management's Assessment Regarding Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
At the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision of and with the participation of our management, including the Principal Executive Officer and the Principal Financial Officer of the effectiveness of the design and operations of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a – 15(e) and Rule 15d – 15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Principal Executive Officer and the Principal Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in ensuring that: (i) information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits to the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in applicable rules and forms and (ii) material information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow for accurate and timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due primarily to a material weakness in the segregation of duties in the Company’s internal control of financial reporting as discussed below.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) and all related information appearing in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
Management conducted an evaluation of the design and operation of our internal control over financial reporting as of the end of the period covered by this report, based on the criteria in a framework developed by the Company’s management pursuant to and in compliance with the criteria established. This evaluation included review of the documentation of controls, evaluation of the design effectiveness of controls, walkthroughs of the operating effectiveness of controls and a conclusion on this evaluation. Based on this evaluation, management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective, because management identified a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting related to the segregation of duties as described below.
While the Company does adhere to internal controls and processes that were designed, it is difficult with a very limited staff to maintain appropriate segregation of duties in the initiating and recording of transactions, thereby creating a segregation of duties weakness. Due to: (i) the significance of segregation of duties to the preparation of reliable financial statements; (ii) the significance of potential misstatement that could have resulted due to the deficient controls; and (iii) the absence of sufficient other mitigating controls, we determined that this control deficiency resulted in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement or lack of disclosure within the annual or interim financial statements may not be prevented or detected.
Management’s Remediation Initiatives
Management has evaluated, and continues to evaluate, avenues for mitigating our internal controls weaknesses, but mitigating controls to completely mitigate internal control weaknesses have been deemed to be impractical and prohibitively costly, due to the size of our organization at the current time. Management expects to continue to use reasonable care in following and seeking improvements to effective internal control processes that have been and continue to be in use at the Company.
Changes in internal controls over financial reporting
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred prior to the Company’s most recent financial quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Item 9B. | Other Information. |
During the quarter ended December 31, 2023, no director or officer of the Company adopted or terminated a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement,” as each term is defined in Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K.

N/A
CHINA CHANGJIANG MINING & NEW ENERGY COMPANY, LTD.
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Audited)
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the shareholders and the board of directors of China Changjiang Mining & New Energy Company, Ltd.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of China Changjiang Mining & New Energy Company, Ltd. as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a significant accumulated deficit. In addition, the Company continues to experience negative cash flows from operations. 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 financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audit. 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 audit 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 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 audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the 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 financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments.
We determined that there are no critical audit matters.

In connection with the exchange, Shaanxi Changjiang also delivered $370,000 to North American and certain non-affiliates of North American will transfer to North American or its designee a total of 3,800,000 shares of common stock, par value of $0.01 per share, of North American which had been held for longer than 2 years by such non-affiliates, in exchange for the issuance by North American to each of such non-affiliates of 2,250,000 shares of common stock of North American. Issued and outstanding share of series C preferred stock were automatically converted into that number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock based upon the conversion rate upon the filing by the Company of an amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation, increasing the number of authorized shares of common stock to 800,000,000 shares, changing the Company's name to China Changjiang Mining & New Energy Company Ltd. and implementing a one for ten reverse stock split. The transaction was closed on February 4, 2008 and Wah Bon became a wholly owned subsidiary of North American.
There was a 10 to 1 reverse stock split for the Company's common stock during December 2009 and all the shares information are retroactively restated to reflect the reverse stock split. The preferred stock holders will not convert their C convertible preferred stock until after the completion of the reverse stock split.
On February 9, 2010, we filed a Certificate of Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to effect a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of our common stock. The 1-for-10 reverse split was approved by FINRA on July 30, 2010, effective August 2, 2010.
The Company was reincorporated from the state of Delaware to the state of Nevada with the intent to effect a statutory merger of the Delaware corporation “North American Gaming and Entertainment Corporation” into China Changjiang and to swap all issued and outstanding shares in the Delaware corporation for comparable shares in China Changjiang and dissolve the Delaware corporation.
The merger of North American and Wah Bon was treated for accounting purposes as a capital transaction and recapitalization by Wah Bon (“the accounting acquirer”) and re-organization by North American (“the accounting acquiree”). The consolidated financial statements have been prepared as if the reorganization had occurred retroactively.
On February 4, 2008, we acquired Wah Bon and its three subsidiaries: Shaanxi Pacific; Shaanxi Changjiang and East Mining. Wah Bon owns 100% of Shaanxi Pacific. Shaanxi Pacific owns 97.2% of Shaanxi Changjiang; and Shaanxi Changjiang owns 60% of East Mining. The minority interests represent the minority shareholders' 2.8% and 40% share of the results of Shaanxi Changjiang and East Mining respectively.
The Company established a subsidiary, named Shaanxi Weinan Changjiang Solar Photovoltaic Energy Applied Science and Technology Co., Ltd. (“Changjiang PV”) in April 2012. The Company's subsidiary, Shaanxi Changjiang accounted for 51% shares of Changjiang PV, and Mr. Zhang Hong Jun, the director and principal shareholder of the Company, accounted for the other 49% shares.
On December 30, 2013, the Company transferred all of its 60% equity of East Mining to its director and principal shareholder, Mr. Zhang Hong Jun and one of its shareholders, Mr. Wang Sheng Li with a consideration of $885,696 (RMB 5,400,000). Each of the acquirers obtained 30% equity of East Mining in this transaction. There is no gain or loss recognized because this is a transaction between entities under common control.
Prior to January 1, 2019, the Company divested all of its subsidiaries, and de-registered Wah Bon in 2020.
The Company’s main business is in the transitional period from mining to clean new energy, and mainly focus on the solar photovoltaic, or “PV”, downstream market at present stage. The Company is not actively trading during the current reporting period.
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The Company maintains its accounts and prepares its financial statements using the accrual method accounting. The financial statements and notes are representations of management. Accounting policies adopted by the Company conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and have been consistently applied.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include the estimated useful lives of property and equipment. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
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 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 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. 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 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 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 unobservable inputs and not corroborated by market data. The carrying amount of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as prepaid expenses and accrued expenses approximate their fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company maintains its financial statements in its functional currency, which is US dollar (“USD”). Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at rates of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet dates. Exchange gains or losses arising from foreign currency transactions or translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are included in the statement of operations for the respective periods.
Exchange rates used in these financial statements, USD to CNY, are 7.0827 and 6.9646 at December 31, 2023 and 2022 respectively.
Related Party
A party is considered to be related to the Company if the party directly or indirectly or through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, member of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and 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 party might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. A party which can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or if it has 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 is also a related party.
Income taxes
The Company follow ASC 740-10-30, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the fiscal year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the fiscal years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the Statements of Income in the period that includes the enactment date.
On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) was signed into law by the President of the United States. TCJA is a tax reform act that among other things, reduced corporate tax rates to 21 percent effective January 1, 2018. FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes, requires deferred tax assets and liabilities to be adjusted for the effect of a change in tax laws or rates in the year of enactment, which is the year in which the change was signed into law. Accordingly, the Company adjusted its deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31,2017, using the new corporate tax rate of 21 percent.
The Company adopted ASC 740-10-25 (“ASC 740-10-25”) with regard to uncertainty income taxes. ASC 740-10-25 addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under ASC 740-10-25, we 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 financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. ASC 740-10-25 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, and accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. We had no material adjustments to our liabilities for unrecognized income tax benefits according to the provisions of ASC 740-10-25.
Net income (loss) per common share
Net income (loss) per common share is computed pursuant to section 260-10-45 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially outstanding shares of common stock during the period. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding and potentially outstanding common shares assumes that the Company incorporated as of the beginning of the first period presented. For the years ended December 31, 2023, and 2022, there are 64,629,559 outstanding common shares and 1,000,000 potentially dilutive shares, respectively, from convertible preferred stock; however, these shares have not been considered in the weighted average share calculation as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive due to the net loss for the year ended.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN
The Company’s unaudited financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern that contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not established any source of revenue to cover its operating costs and has an accumulated deficit of $19,856,628 as at December 31, 2023. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
In addition to operational expenses, as the Company executes its business plan, it is incurring expenses related to complying with its public reporting requirements. In order to finance these expenditures, the Company has raised capital in the form of debt, which will have to be repaid, as discussed in detail below. The Company has depended on loans from related parties and shareholders for most of its operating capital. The Company will need to raise capital in the next twelve months in order to remain in business.
Management anticipates that significant dilution will occur as a result of any future sales of the Company’s common stock and this will reduce the value of its outstanding shares. The Company cannot project the future level of dilution that will be experienced by investors as a result of its future financings, but it will significantly affect the value of its shares.
The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

There were 1,000,000 Series C convertible preferred stock issued and outstanding at December 31, 2023 and 2022 at total par value of $1,000.
NOTE 8 – INCOME TAXES
Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. As the Company’s main business place is in P. R China, the corporate income tax rate of 25% is applied in calculation of deferred taxes.
Deferred income taxes reflect the tax consequences on future years of differences between the tax bases. Net operating loss carry-forwards and tax benefits arising therefore are as follows:
Schedule of deferred tax assets | | | | | | | | |
Deferred tax assets | | Dec. 31,2023 | | | Dec. 31,2022 | |
Net operating loss (NOL) brought forward | | $ | 19,918,801 | | | $ | 20,289,825 | |
Net loss/(profit) for the period / year | | | (62,173 | ) | | | (371,024 | ) |
NOL carried forward | | $ | 19,856,628 | | | $ | 19,918,801 | |
Tax benefit from NOL carried forward | | | 4,964,157 | | | | 4,979,700 | |
Valuation allowance | | | (4,964,157 | ) | | | (4,979,700 | ) |
Deferred tax assets | | $ | – | | | $ | – | |
The PRC income tax allows the enterprises to offset their future taxable income with taxable operating losses carried forward in a 5-year period. The management believes that the Company’s cumulative losses arising from recurring business in recent years constituted significant negative evidence that most of the deferred tax assets would not be realizable and this evidence outweighed the expectations that the Company would generate future taxable income. Valuation allowance for the full amount of tax benefit from NOL was recorded.
NOTE 9 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
As at the end of the reporting period, the company has no commitments and contingencies to disclose.
NOTE 10 – RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS
