NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2024 AND 2023
(In U.S. dollars, except share and per share data)
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Greenpro Capital Corp. (the “Company” or “GRNQ”) was incorporated on July 19, 2013 in the state of Nevada. The Company currently provides a wide range of business consulting and corporate advisory services, including cross-border listing advisory services, tax planning, advisory and transaction services, record management services, and accounting outsourcing services. Our focus is on companies located in Asia and Southeast Asia, including Hong Kong, Malaysia, China, Thailand, and Singapore. As part of our business consulting and corporate advisory business segment, Greenpro Venture Capital Limited provides a business incubator for start-up companies and focuses on investments in select start-up and high growth potential companies. In addition to our business consulting and corporate advisory business segment, we operate another business segment that focuses on the acquisition and rental of real estate properties held for investment and the acquisition and sale of real estate properties held for sale.
Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) that permit reduced disclosure for interim periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the period ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet information as of December 31, 2023 was derived from the Company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 28, 2024. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with that report.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries and majority-owned subsidiaries which the Company controls and entities for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. For those consolidated subsidiaries where the Company’s ownership is less than 100%, the outside shareholders’ interests are shown as noncontrolling interests in equity. Acquired businesses are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date on which control is transferred to the Company. Subsidiaries are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Going concern
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the
settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the
Company incurred a net loss of $
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon improving its profitability and the continuing financial support from its major shareholders. Management believes the existing shareholders or external financing will provide the additional cash to meet the Company’s obligations as they become due. Despite the amount of funds that we have raised in the past, no assurance can be given that any future financing, if needed, will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, if needed, it may contain undue restrictions on its operations, in the case of debt financing, or cause substantial dilution for its stockholders, in the case of equity financing.

Certain effects of reverse stock split
On
July 19, 2022, the Company filed a Certificate of Change with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada (the “Certificate of
Change”) to effect a reverse split of the Company’s Common Stock at a ratio of
In
addition, the Reverse Stock Split effected a reduction in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrants
outstanding immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Reverse Stock Split, resulting in a reduction from
No fractional shares are issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders who otherwise would be entitled to receive fractional shares because they hold a number of pre-reverse stock split shares of the Company’s Common Stock not evenly divisible by 10, in lieu of a fractional share, are entitled the number of shares rounded up to the nearest whole share. The Company will issue one whole share of the post-Reverse Stock Split Common Stock to any stockholder who otherwise would have received a fractional share as a result of the Reverse Stock Split.
The Reverse Stock Split affected all holders of Common Stock uniformly and did not affect any stockholder’s percentage of ownership interest. The par value of the Company’s Common Stock remained unchanged at $ per share and the number of authorized shares of Common Stock remained the same after the Reverse Stock Split.
As the par value per share of the Company’s Common Stock remained unchanged at $ per share, the change in the Common Stock recorded at par value has been reclassified to additional paid-in-capital on a retroactive basis. All references to shares of Common Stock and per share data for all periods presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split on a retroactive basis.

COVID-19 pandemic and other global risks
Although the COVID-19 pandemic appears to have abated, its long-term effects on the global economy, including elevated inflation, continued to affect our business. Furthermore, should there be a resurgence of the COVID-19 or new variants of COVID-19 pandemic, or should another pandemic arise, this could further affect our business. Moreover, a prolonged outbreak of any health epidemic or other adverse public health developments could create significant macroeconomic uncertainty, volatility and disruption, which may adversely affect our business operations.
On March 10, 2023, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation took control and was appointed receiver of Silicon Valley Bank. While we did not have deposits at Silicon Valley Bank, if other banks and financial institutions enter receivership or become insolvent in the future in response to financial conditions affecting the banking system and financial markets, our ability to access our existing cash, cash equivalents and investments may be threatened and could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition. It is possible that further deterioration in credit and financial markets and confidence in economic conditions will occur. If equity and credit markets deteriorate, it may affect our ability to raise equity capital, borrow on our existing facilities, access our existing cash, or make any additional necessary debt or equity financing more difficult to obtain, more costly and/or more dilutive.
Management regularly monitors economic and other factors listed above. We develop strategic and tactical plans designed to improve performance and maximize our competitive position. Our ability to achieve our financial objectives is dependent upon our ability to effectively execute these plans and to appropriately respond to emerging economic and company-specific trends.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant accounting estimates include certain assumptions related to, among others, the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, impairment analysis of real estate assets and other long-term assets including goodwill, estimates inherent in recording purchase price allocation, valuation allowance on deferred income taxes, the assumptions used in the valuation of the derivative liability, and the accrual of potential liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Credit losses
The Company estimates and records a provision for its expected credit losses related to its financial instruments, including its trade receivables. Management considers historical collection rates, the current financial status of the Company’s customers, macroeconomic factors, and other industry-specific factors when evaluating current expected credit losses. Forward-looking information is also considered in the evaluation of current expected credit losses. However, because of the short time to the expected receipt of accounts receivable, management believes that the carrying value, net of expected losses, approximates fair value and therefore, relies more on historical and current analysis of such financial instruments, including its trade receivables.
To determine the provision for credit losses for accounts receivable, the Company has disaggregated its accounts receivable by class of customer at the business component level, as management determined that risk profile of the Company’s customers is consistent based on the type and industry in which they operate. Each business component is analyzed for estimated credit losses individually. In doing so, the Company establishes a historical loss matrix, based on the previous collections of accounts receivable by the age of such receivables, and evaluates the current and forecasted financial position of its customers, as available. Further, the Company considers macroeconomic factors and the status of the relevant industry to estimate if there are current expected credit losses within its trade receivables based on the trends of the Company’s expectation of the future status of such economic and industry-specific factors. Also, specific allowance amounts are established based on review of outstanding invoices to record the appropriate provision for customers that have a higher probability of default.

Revenue recognition
The Company follows the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASC 606 creates a five-step model that requires entities to exercise judgment when considering the terms of contracts, which includes (1) identifying the contracts or agreements with a customer, (2) identifying our performance obligations in the contract or agreement, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the separate performance obligations, and (5) recognizing revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the services it transfers to its clients (see Note 2).
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash consists of funds on hand and held in bank accounts. Cash equivalents include time deposits placed with banks or other financial institutions and all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, including money market funds.
As
of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, cash included funds held by employees of $

Investments
Investments in equity securities
The Company accounts for its investments that represent less than 20% ownership, and for which the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence, using ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The Company measure investments in equity securities without a readily determinable fair value using a measurement alternative that measures these securities at the cost method minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes on a non-recurring basis. Gains and losses on these securities are recognized in other income and expenses.
On
September 30, 2024, the Company had a total of twenty-two (22) investments in equity securities without readily determinable fair values,
all of which were related party investments with an aggregate value of $
On
December 31, 2023, the Company had a total of twenty-five (25) investments in equity securities without readily determinable fair values,
all of which were related party investments with an aggregate value of $
Leases
The Company determines if a contract is or contains a lease at inception of the contract or modification of the contract. A contract is or contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period in exchange for consideration. Control over the use of the identified asset means the lessee has both (a) the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset and (b) the right to direct the use of the asset.
Finance and operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and liabilities are recognized based on the present value of future minimum lease payments over the expected lease term at commencement date. As the implicit rate is not determinable in most of the Company’s leases, management uses the Company’s incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. The expected lease term includes options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise the option. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term.
The Company’s lease arrangements have lease and non-lease components. Leases with an expected term of 12 months or less are not accounted for on the balance sheet and the related lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term.
The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.
See Note 5 for more information regarding leases.
Derivative financial instruments
Derivative financial instruments consist of financial instruments that contain a notional amount and one or more underlying variables such as interest rate, security price, variable conversion rate or other variables, require no initial net investment and permit net settlement. The derivative financial instruments may be free-standing or embedded in other financial instruments. The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. The Company follows the provision of ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging for derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date. At each reporting date, the Company reviews its convertible securities to determine that their classification is appropriate.
Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, adjusted for the dilutive effect of outstanding Common Stock equivalents.
On September 30, 2024 and 2023, there were dilutive shares outstanding. These warrants have been excluded from the calculation of weighted average shares as the effect would have been anti-dilutive and therefore basic and diluted net income (loss) per share were the same.

Foreign currency translation
The consolidated financial statements are presented in United States Dollar (“US$”), which is the functional and reporting currency of the Company. In addition, the Company’s operating subsidiaries maintain their books and records in their respective functional currency, which consists of the Malaysian Ringgit (“MYR”), Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”) and Hong Kong Dollar (“HK$”).
In general, for consolidation purposes, assets and liabilities of the Company’s subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the US$, are translated into US$ using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the period. The gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements of a foreign subsidiary are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss within stockholders’ equity.
Translation of amounts from the local currencies of the Company into US$ has been made at the following exchange rates for the respective periods:
As of and for the nine months ended September 30, | ||||||||
| 2024 | 2023 | |||||||
| Period-end MYR : US$1 exchange rate | ||||||||
| Period-average MYR : US$1 exchange rate | ||||||||
| Period-end RMB : US$1 exchange rate | ||||||||
| Period-average RMB : US$1 exchange rate | ||||||||
| Period-end HK$ : US$1 exchange rate | ||||||||
| Period-average HK$ : US$1 exchange rate | ||||||||
Fair value of financial instruments
The Company follows the guidance of ASC 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820-10”), with respect to financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value. ASC 820-10 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
| ● | Level 1 : Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; |
| ● | Level 2 : Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and |
| ● | Level 3 : Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions |
The Company believes the carrying amount reported in the balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaids and other current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, income tax payable, deferred cost of revenue, deferred revenue, and due from or due to related parties, approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments.

Exchange rate risk
The Company’s reporting currency is US$ but its major revenues and costs, and a significant portion of its assets and liabilities are also denominated in MYR, RMB or HK$. As a result, the Company is exposed to foreign exchange risks as its revenues and the results of operations may be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate between US$ and MYR, US$ and RMB or US$ and HK$. If MYR, RMB or HK$ depreciates against US$, the values of the Company’s revenues and assets in MYR, RMB or HK$ may decline accordingly when in translation to the Company’s reporting currency, as its financial statements are presented in US$. The Company does not hold any derivative or other financial instruments that may expose it to substantial market risks.
Risks and uncertainties
Substantially all the Company’s services are conducted in Hong Kong, China, Malaysia and Thailand. The Company’s operations are subject to various political and economic risks, including the risks of restrictions on transfer of funds, export duties, quotas and embargoes, changing taxation policies, and political conditions and governmental regulations, and the adverse impact of the coronavirus outbreak.
Recent accounting pronouncements
The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, considers the applicability and impact of all accounting standards updates (“ASUs”). Management periodically reviews new accounting standards that are issued.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07 “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” which expands annual and interim disclosure requirements for reportable segments, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The ASU 2023-07 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU may have on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” to expand the disclosure requirements for income taxes, specifically related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU may have on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
The Company does not expect that any other recently issued accounting pronouncements will have a significant effect on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2 - REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS
The Company’s revenue consists of revenue from providing business consulting and corporate advisory services (“service revenue”), and revenue from leasing or trading of real estate properties (“real estate revenue”)
Revenue from services
For certain service contracts, we assist or provide advisory to clients in capital market listings (“listing services”), our services provided to clients are considered as our performance obligations. Revenue and expenses are deferred until the performance obligation is complete and collectability of the consideration is probable. For service contracts where the performance obligation has not been completed, deferred cost of revenue is recorded as incurred and deferred revenue is recorded for any payments received on such yet to be completed performance obligations. On an ongoing basis, management monitors these contracts for profitability and when needed may record a liability if a determination is made that costs will exceed revenue.
For other services such as company secretarial, accounting, financial analysis, insurance brokerage services, and other related services (“non-listing services”), upon our completion of such services, representing our performance obligations are satisfied, and hence, the relevant revenue is recognized. For contracts in which we act as an agent, the Company reports revenue net of expenses paid.
The Company offers no discounts, rebates, rights of return, or other allowances to clients which would result in the establishment of reserves against service revenue. Additionally, to date, the Company has not incurred incremental costs in obtaining a client contract.
Revenue from leasing of real estate properties
Rental revenue represents lease rental income from the Company’s tenants. The tenants pay in accordance with the terms in the lease agreements and the Company recognizes the income ratably over the lease term as this is the most representative of the pattern in which the benefit is expected to be derived from the underlying asset.
Revenue from trading of real estate properties
The Company follows the guidance of ASC 610-20, Other Income - Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (“ASC 610-20”), which applies to sales or transfers to noncustomers of nonfinancial assets. Generally, the Company’s sales of its real estate properties are considered a sale of a nonfinancial asset. Under ASC 610-20, the Company derecognizes its assets and recognizes a gain or loss on the sale of the real estate when control of the underlying asset transfers to the buyer.
Cost of revenues
Cost of service revenue primarily consists of employee compensation and related payroll benefits, company formation costs, and other professional fees directly attributable to the services rendered.
Cost of rental revenue primarily includes costs associated with repairs and maintenance, property management fees, insurance, depreciation, and other related administrative costs. Utility expenses are paid directly by tenants.
Cost of real estate properties sold primarily consists of the purchase price of property, legal fees, improvement costs to the building structure, and other acquisition costs. Selling and advertising costs are expensed as incurred.

Investments in equity securities without readily determinable fair values of affiliates (related parties):
Equity securities without readily determinable fair values are investments without readily determinable market values. The Company adopted the guidance of ASC 321, Investments - Equity Securities, which allows an entity to measure investments in equity securities without a readily determinable fair value using a measurement alternative that measures these securities at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investment of same issuer (the “Measurement Alternative”). The fair value of equity securities without readily determinable fair values that have been remeasured due to impairment are classified within Level 3. Management assesses each of these investments on an individual basis. Additionally, on a quarterly basis, management is required to make a qualitative assessment of whether the investment is impaired.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company did not recognize any impairment or reversal of impairment.
For
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized the reversal of impairment of $ and $

we recorded as other investments in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. We reviewed all our cost method investments quarterly
to determine if impairment indicators were present; however, we were not required to determine fair value of these investments unless
impairment indicators exist. When impairment indicators exist, we generally adopt the valuation methods allowed under ASC820 Fair Value
Measurement to evaluate the fair values of our cost method investments approximated or exceeded their carrying values as of September
30, 2024. Our cost method investments had a carrying value of $

NOTE 5 - LEASES
As
of September 30, 2024, the Company has an operating lease agreement for one office space in Hong Kong with a term of
Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Generally, the implicit rate of interest (“discount rate”) in arrangements is not readily determinable and the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company’s incremental borrowing rate is a hypothetical rate based on its understanding of what its credit rating would be. The operating lease ROU asset includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives.

Existing guidance, which is based on a management approach to segment reporting, establishes requirements to report selected segment information quarterly and to report annually entity-wide disclosures about products and services, major customers, and the countries in which the entity holds material assets and reports revenue. All material operating units qualify for aggregation under “Segment Reporting” due to their similar customer base and similarities in economic characteristics; nature of products and services; and procurement, manufacturing, and distribution processes. The Company operates two reportable business segments:
| ● | Service business - provision of corporate advisory and business solution services |
| ● | Real estate business - leasing or trading of commercial real estate properties in Hong Kong and Malaysia |
The Company had no inter-segment sales for the periods presented. Summarized financial information concerning the Company’s reportable segments is shown as below:

Company Overview
Greenpro Capital Corp. (the “Company” or “Greenpro”), was incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 19, 2013. We provide cross-border business solutions and accounting outsourcing services to small and medium-size businesses located in Asia, with an initial focus on Hong Kong, China and Malaysia. Greenpro provides a range of services as a package solution (the “Package Solution”) to our clients, and we believe that our clients can reduce their business costs and improve their revenues.
In addition to our business solution services, we also operate a venture capital business through Greenpro Venture Capital Limited, an Anguilla corporation. One of our venture capital business segments focuses on (1) establishing a business incubator for start-up and high growth companies to support such companies during critical growth periods, which will include education and support services, and (2) searching the investment opportunities in selected start-up and high growth companies, which may generate significant returns to the Company. Our venture capital business focuses on companies located in East and Southeast Asia, including Hong Kong, China, Malaysia, Thailand, and Singapore. Another venture capital business segment focuses on rental activities of commercial properties and the sale of investment properties.
Results of Operations
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, we operated in three regions: Hong Kong, China and Malaysia. We derived revenue from the provision of services and the rental activities of our commercial properties.
Comparison of the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023
Total revenue
Total revenue was $539,699 and $1,070,972 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively. The decreased amount of $531,273 was primarily due to a decrease in business services revenue. We expect revenue from both business services and real estate business segments to steadily improve in the following years.
Business services revenue
Revenue from the provision of business services was $521,765 and $1,043,360 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively. It was derived principally from the provision of business consulting and advisory services as well as company secretarial, accounting, and financial analysis services. We experienced a decrease in business services revenue as fewer listing service obligations were completed during the three months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023.
Real estate business
Rental revenue
Revenue from rentals was $17,934 and $27,612 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively. It was derived principally from leasing properties in Hong Kong and Malaysia. The decrease of $9,678 in rental revenue was mainly due to the distribution of 40% of the real estate properties of our subsidiary, Forward Win International Limited (“FWIL”) its noncontrolling interest (the “NCI”) in consideration of our acquisition of the remaining 40% shares of FWIL and settlement of a loan from the NCI in April 2024. As a result, fewer property units were available for lease and lower rental revenue was generated.
Sale of real estate properties
There was no revenue generated from the sale of real estate properties for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively.

Total operating costs and expenses
Total operating costs and expenses were $1,012,972 and $1,207,517 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively. They consist of cost of business services revenue, cost of rental revenue, and general and administrative expenses.
Loss from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023 was $473,273 and $136,545, respectively. An increase in loss from operations was due to a decrease of revenue of $531,273, offset by a decrease of operating costs and expenses of $194,545 for the three months ended September 30, 2024.
Cost of business services revenue
Cost of revenue from the provision of services was $138,404 and $219,865 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively. It primarily consists of employee compensation and related payroll benefits, company formation costs, and other professional fees directly attributable to costs related to the services rendered.
The decrease in cost of business services revenue was mainly due to a decrease of other professional fees directly attributable to the provision of services for the three months ended September 30, 2024.
Cost of rental revenue
Cost of rental revenue was $6,235 and $9,629 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively. It includes the costs associated with governmental charges, repairs and maintenance, property management fees and insurance, depreciation, and other related administrative costs. Utility expenses are borne and paid by individual tenants directly. The decrease of cost of rental revenue was mainly due to 40% of FWIL’s real estate properties being distributed to its NCI in April 2024. As a result, fewer property units were available for lease and lower costs were incurred.
Cost of real estate properties sold
During the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, no real estate property was sold, and hence no cost was incurred.
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses were $868,333 and $978,023 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, G&A expenses primarily consisted of employees’ salaries and allowances of $352,213, directors’ salaries and compensation of $167,032, advertising and promotion expenses of $75,133, consulting fees of $4,166, computer and IT expenses of $49,949, legal service fees of $33,760, other professional fees of $59,704 and rent and rates of $28,598. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, G&A expenses consisted primarily of employees’ salaries and allowances of $319,523, directors’ salaries and compensation of $163,427, advertising and promotion expenses of $45,104, computer and IT expenses of $101,624, consulting fees of $49,138, legal services fees of $48,936, other professional fees of $60,563 and rent and rates of $27,965. The decreased G&A expense of $109,690 was mainly derived from the decrease of consulting fees from $49,138 to $4,166 and computer and IT expenses from $101,624 to $49,949 during the same period from 2023 to 2024. We expect our G&A expenses will continue to increase as we are developing our cryptocurrency exchange businesses through our wholly owned subsidiary, Green-X Corp. and digital banking businesses through our newly acquired subsidiary, Global Business Hub Limited in Labuan.
Other income
Net other income was $142,953 and $18,488 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, net other income mainly consisted of other income from gain on disposal of investment of $127,617 and interest income of $3,979. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, net other income consisted of interest income of $8,853 and other gains of $9,635.
Net loss
Net loss was $330,320 and $120,994 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase in net loss was mainly due to a decrease in business services revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2024.
Net loss attributable to non-controlling interest
The Company recorded net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest in the consolidated statements of operations for a non-controlling interest (the “NCI”) of a consolidated subsidiary, Forward Win International Limited (“FWIL”), which is principally engaged in trading and leasing of properties in Hong Kong.
The Company had been a 60% shareholder of FWIL since inception.
On April 15, 2024, the Company acquired the remaining 40% shares of FWIL from the NCI by distribution of 40% of FWIL’s real estate properties for consideration of its acquisition and settlement of loan from the NCI (the “Acquisition”).
After the Acquisition, FWIL becomes the wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and hence no profit or loss was attributed to the NCI during the three months ended September 30, 2024. We recorded a net loss attributable to the NCI of $3,865 for the three months ended September 30, 2023.
| 26 |
Comparison of the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023
Total revenue
Total revenue was $1,559,272 and $2,309,592 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively. The decrease of $750,320 was primarily due to a decrease in business services revenue. We expect revenue from both business services and real estate business segments to slightly decline in the following months as some tenancies are due to expire and some may not renew or may be renewed at lower rental rates because of the downturn in the rental market in Hong Kong.
Business services revenue
Revenue from the provision of business services was $1,498,187 and $2,239,354 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively. It was derived principally from business consulting and advisory services as well as company secretarial, accounting, and financial analysis services. We experienced a decrease in business services revenue as fewer listing advisory services were rendered during the same period in 2024.
Real estate business
Rental revenue
Revenue from rentals was $61,085 and $70,238 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively. It was derived principally from leasing properties in Hong Kong and Malaysia.

As a result, fewer property units were available for lease and lower rental revenue was generated.

Loss from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023 was $1,548,606 and $779,617, respectively. The increase in loss from operations was mainly due to a decrease of business services revenue of $741,167 and an increase of G&A expenses of $152,795 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Cost of business services revenue
Cost of revenue from the provision of services was $249,112 and $374,048 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively. It primarily consists of employee compensation and related payroll benefits, company formation costs, and other professional fees directly attributable to costs related to the services rendered.

Cost of rental revenue
Cost of rental revenue was $19,125 and $28,315 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively.

We expect our G&A expenses will continue to increase as we are developing our cryptocurrency exchange businesses through our wholly owned subsidiary, Green-X Corp. and digital banking businesses through our newly acquired subsidiary, Global Business Hub Limited in Labuan.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant accounting estimates include certain assumptions related to, among others, the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, impairment analysis of real estate assets and other long-term assets including goodwill, valuation allowance on deferred income taxes, and the accrual of potential liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
| 30 |
Revenue recognition
The Company follows the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, Revenue from Contracts. ASC 606 creates a five-step model that requires entities to exercise judgment when considering the terms of contracts, which includes (1) identifying the contracts or agreements with a customer, (2) identifying our performance obligations in the contract or agreement, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the separate performance obligations, and (5) recognizing revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the services it transfers to its clients.
The Company’s revenue consists of revenue from providing business consulting and corporate advisory services (“service revenue”), revenue from the sale of real estate properties, and revenue from the rental of real estate properties.
Impairment of long-lived assets
Long-lived assets primarily include real estate held for investment, property and equipment, and intangible assets. In accordance with the provision of ASC 360, the Company generally conducts its annual impairment evaluation of its long-lived assets in the fourth quarter of each year, or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist, such as a significant sustained change in the business climate. The recoverability of long-lived assets is measured at the reporting unit level. If the total of the expected undiscounted future net cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, a loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and carrying amount of the asset. In addition, for real estate held for sale, an impairment loss is the adjustment to fair value less estimated cost to dispose of the asset.
Goodwill
Goodwill is the excess of cost of an acquired entity over the fair value of amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Under the guidance of ASC 350, goodwill is not amortized, rather it is tested for impairment annually, and will be tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would indicate the carrying amount may be impaired. An impairment loss generally would be recognized when the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s net assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the reporting unit and would be measured as the excess carrying value of goodwill over the derived fair value of goodwill. The Company’s policy is to perform its annual impairment testing for its reporting units on December 31, of each fiscal year.
Derivative financial instruments
Derivative financial instruments consist of financial instruments that contain a notional amount and one or more underlying variables such as interest rate, security price, variable conversion rate or other variables, require no initial net investment and permit net settlement. The derivative financial instruments may be free-standing or embedded in other financial instruments. The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. The Company follows the provision of ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging for derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date. At each reporting date, the Company reviews its convertible securities to determine that their classification is appropriate.

On September 30, 2024, our cash balance was $1,027,513, as compared to $2,223,197 on December 31, 2023, a decrease of $1,195,684. We estimate we still have sufficient cash available to meet our anticipated working capital for the next twelve months.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, Company incurred a net loss of $1,168,983 and net cash used in operations of $1,191,874, and as of September 30, 2024, the Company incurred an accumulated deficit of $37,707,535. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date that the financial statements are issued. In addition, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, in its report on the Company’s December 31, 2023 financial statements, has expressed substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon improving its profitability and the continuing financial support from its major shareholders. Management believes the existing shareholders or external financing will provide the additional cash to meet the Company’s obligations as they become due.
Despite the amount of funds that the Company has raised in the past, no assurance can be given that any future financing, if needed, will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, if needed, it may contain undue restrictions on its operations, in the case of debt financing, or cause substantial dilution for its shareholders, in the case of equity financing.

Cybersecurity
Risk management and strategy
We recognize the critical importance of developing, implementing, and maintaining robust cybersecurity measures to safeguard our information systems and protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our data.
Managing Material Risks & Integrated Overall Risk Management
We have strategically integrated cybersecurity risk management into our broader risk management framework to promote a company-wide culture of cybersecurity risk management. This integration ensures that cybersecurity considerations are an integral part of our decision-making processes at every level. Our management team continuously evaluates and addresses cybersecurity risks in alignment with our business objectives and operational needs.
Oversee third-party risk
Because we are aware of the risks associated with third-party service providers, we have implemented stringent processes to oversee and manage these risks. We conduct thorough security assessments of all third-party providers before engagement and maintain ongoing monitoring to ensure compliance with our cybersecurity standards. The monitoring includes annual assessments of the SOC reports of our providers and implementing complementary controls. This approach is designed to mitigate risks related to data breaches or other security incidents originating from third-parties.
Risks from cybersecurity threats
We have not encountered cybersecurity challenges that have materially impaired our operations or financial standing.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Company is not required to provide the information under this item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”). Based on such evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2024 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) rules and forms, and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including each of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, intends that our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives. However, our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors 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 and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon 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; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
On August 24, 2021, Plaintiff Millennium Fine Art Inc. (“MFAI”) filed a Complaint against the Company, alleging that on or about April 21, 2021, MFAI and the Company entered into a contract (the “Contract”), by which MFAI agreed to create 7,700 non-fungible tokens (“NFT”) in exchange for sixteen million dollars ($16,000,000) worth of shares of the Company. MFAI claims that the Company breached the Contract by refusing delivery of the NFTs and not delivering $16 million worth of shares to MFAI. The Complaint asserts causes of action for breach of contract, special damages and promissory estoppel, and seeks sixty-six million dollars ($66,000,000) in damages, specific performance by Company according to the terms of the Contract, and MFAI’s attorney’s fees and costs.
On October 18, 2021, the Company filed a motion, denying all the material allegations of the Complaint, and seeking to stay the case and compel arbitration pursuant to the purported Contract. In its motion, the Company only sought to enforce the terms of the Contract as it relates to arbitration, but otherwise denied the existence of a valid and binding contract. Over MFAI’s opposition, the Court granted the Company’s motion, and stayed the case, pending the resolution of the Parties’ arbitration of the dispute.
On or about April 1, 2022, MFAI filed a Request for Arbitration with JAMS dispute resolution services, in response to which the Company filed a Statement of Answer, denying the material allegations of the Complaint, which the Company deems to be without merit. The matter is still in the discovery phase, which has been delayed, largely in part due to the unavailability, to date, of MFAI’s corporate representative for his deposition. The parties intend to complete party depositions, however, by the end of February 2025. The Company intends to continue vigorously defending this matter, and the arbitration final hearing has been scheduled for June 10-13, 2025.
