KUBER RESOURCES CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2024 AND 2023
(Unaudited)
Note 1 – Organization and Nature of Business
Kuber Resources Corporation formerly known as Uonlive Corporation (“KUBR” or the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on January 29, 1998 as Weston International Development Corporation. On July 28, 1998, its name was changed to Txon International Development Corporation. On September 15, 2000, the Company changed its name to China World Trade Corporation. On July 2, 2008, the Company further changed its name to Uonlive Corporation.
The Company ceased its former operations in early 2015. The Company has fully impaired all assets since the shutdown of its operations in 2015 and has recorded the effects of this impairment as part of its discontinued operations.
On June 15, 2018, the eight judicial District Court of Nevada appointed Small Cap Compliance, LLC as custodian for Uonlive Corporations., proper notice having been given to the officers and directors of Uonlive Corporation and there was no opposition.
On September 10, 2019, the Company filed a certificate of revival with the state of Nevada, appointing Raymond Fu as, President, Secretary, Treasurer and Director.
On March 2, 2020, the Company entered into a Definitive Share Agreement whereby Raymond Fu, the sole shareholder of Asia Image Investment Limited (“Asia Image”), relinquished all his shares in Asia Image and acquired 100,000 shares of the Company. Consequently, Asia Image became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
Since the major shareholder of the Company retained control of both the Company and Asia Image, the share exchange was accounted for as a reverse merger. As such, the Company recognized the assets and liabilities of Asia Image, acquired in the Reorganization, at their historical carrying amounts.
On November 7, 2022, the Company acquired all shares of Kuber Resources (Hong Kong) Limited ("Kuber HK") from GRL21 Nominee Limited for one Hong Kong dollar (HKD1.00). Consequently, Kuber HK became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Kuber HK, formerly known as Star Wise Limited, was established in Hong Kong on October 21, 2022. It officially changed its name to Kuber Resources (Hong Kong) Limited on November 1, 2022, which has not commenced any operations since its inception. The acquisition of Kuber HK aims to diversify the Company's business portfolio beyond its current focus on international commodities trading conducted by Asia Image Limited.
On December 8, 2022, the Company filed Articles of Amendment (the “Articles of Amendment”) to its Articles of Incorporation, as amended, with the Secretary of Nevada to change the Company’s corporate name to Kuber Resources Corporation (the “Name Change”). In connection with the Name Change, the Company’s has changed its ticker symbol from “UOLI” to the new ticker symbol “KUBR” (the “Symbol Change”). There is no change in the CUSIP number of the Company’s common stock in connection with the Name Change and Symbol Change. As previously reported, the majority of issued and outstanding shares approved the Name Change and Symbol Change on September 15, 2022 by written consent.
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) announced the effectiveness of the Name Change and Symbol Change on December 9, 2022, which became effective in the market and for trading under the new name and ticker symbol on Monday, December 12, 2022.
The Name Change and Symbol Change do not affect the rights of the Company’s security holders. The Company’s common stock will continue to be quoted on OTC Markets. Following the Name Change, the stock certificates, which reflect the former name of the Company, will continue to be valid and need not be exchanged. Any certificates reflecting the Name Change will be issued in due course as old stock certificates are tendered for exchange or transfer to the Company’s transfer agent.
On September 18, 2023, the Company acquired all shares of Grayscale Investment (Asia) Limited ("Grayscale HK") from unrelated parties for two Hong Kong dollars (HKD 2.00) per share, along with its subsidiary. Consequently, Grayscale HK became a fully-owned subsidiary of the Company. Grayscale HK was established in Hong Kong on September 31, 2021, which has not commenced any operations since its inception. Grayscale Investment (ShenZhen) Limited ("Grayscale WOFE") was established on November 1, 2021, as a wholly foreign-owned entity in the People’s Republic of China ("PRC"). Grayscale WOFE is wholly owned by Grayscale HK.
9 |
The aforementioned transaction has been accounted for in accordance with the provisions of ASC 805, Business Combinations, and the related fair value adjustments have been recorded as of the acquisition date. The Company did not record any goodwill or intangible assets related to the transaction, as the acquisition consideration equaled the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired.
On October 17, 2023, the Company through its wholly owned subsidiary, incorporated Kuber Resources (Guangdong) Co., Ltd. (“Kuber Guangdong") as a wholly owned subsidiary of Graysacle WOFE in Guangdong, PRC. Kuber Guangdong’s scope of business includes manufacturing, sales and distribution of wood panels, as well as providing formaldehyde treatment services.
KUBR and its subsidiaries Asia Image, Kuber HK, Grayscale HK, Grayscale WOFE, Kuber Guangdong shall be collectively referred throughout as the “Company”.
Note 2 – Summary of significant accounting policies
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).
The Company has elected a fiscal year end of December 31.
Principles of Consolidation
The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements on the accrual basis of accounting. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary. All intercompany accounts, balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.
Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) applicable to interim financial information and the requirements of Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosure required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods have been included. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. Not all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements are presented. The interim financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of computations as the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the 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 amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management makes its best estimate of the outcome for these items based on information available when the financial statements are prepared. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Functional and presentation currency
The functional currency of the Company is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates.
The currency in which companies in China operate is the Chinese Yuan (“RMB”). The RMB is not freely convertible into the US dollar and may be subject to PRC currency restrictions for payments, including the distributions of dividends or retained earnings to the Company by its subsidiaries or its variable interest entities.
Transactions in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the date of the transaction. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at the end of the reporting periods. Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items and on translation of monetary items at period-end are included in income statement of the period.
10 |
For the purpose of presenting these financial statements, the Company’s assets and liabilities are expressed in US$ at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, stockholder’s equity accounts are translated at historical rates, and income and expense items are translated at the weighted average exchange rate during the period. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the stockholder’s equity (deficits) section of the balance sheets.
Exchange rate used for the translation as follows:
US$ to RMB | Period End | Average | ||||||
March 31, 2024 | ||||||||
December 31, 2023 | N/A | |||||||
March 31, 2023 |
US$ to HKD | Period End | Average | ||||||
March 31, 2024 | ||||||||
December 31, 2023 | N/A | |||||||
March 31, 2023 |
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of reporting within the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all cash on hand, cash accounts not subject to withdrawal restrictions or penalties, and all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.
11 |
Accounts Receivables
Accounts receivables are recorded at the net value less estimates for expected credit losses. Management regularly reviews outstanding accounts and provides an allowance for doubtful accounts. When collection of the original invoice amounts is no longer probable, the Company will either partially or fully write-off the balance against the allowance for doubtful accounts.
Property and Equipment & Depreciation
Property and equipment are stated at historical cost net of accumulated depreciation. Expenditures that improve the functionality of the related asset or extend the useful life are capitalized. When property and equipment is retired or otherwise disposed of, the related gain or loss is included in operating income. Leasehold improvements are depreciated on the straight-line method over the shorter of the remaining lease term or estimated useful life of the asset. Property and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the following periods:
Leasehold improvements | |
Office furniture and equipment |
Intangible Assets & Amortization
Intangible assets are stated at historical cost net of accumulated amortization. Intangible assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the following periods:
Intellectual Property License |
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 360-10, Property, Plant and Equipment (“ASC 360-10”). ASC 360-10 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by the Company be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment annually or more often if events and circumstances warrant. Events relating to recoverability may include significant unfavorable changes in business conditions, recurring losses, or a forecasted inability to achieve breakeven operating results over an extended period. The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets based upon forecasted undiscounted cash flows. Should impairment in value be indicated, the carrying value of intangible assets will be adjusted, based on estimates of future discounted cash flows resulting from the use and ultimate disposition of the asset. ASC 360-10 also requires assets to be disposed of be reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell.
Impairment
loss on property and equipment was $
Contract Liability
The Company records customer advances as liabilities when consideration is received in advance of the transfer of goods. These advances are recognized as revenue when the performance obligations associated with the advance are satisfied. These advances relate to the advance payment for orders of goods placed by the customers.
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718 Compensation - Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). ASC 718 addresses all forms of share-based payment (“SBP”) awards including shares issued under employee stock purchase plans and stock incentive shares. Under ASC 718 awards result in a cost that is measured at fair value on the awards’ grant date, based on the estimated number of awards that are expected to vest and will result in a charge to operations.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services as per the contract with the customer. As a result, the Company accounts for revenue contracts with customers by applying the requirements of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which includes the following steps:
● | Identify the contract(s), and subsequent amendments with the customer. |
● | Identify all the performance obligations in the contract and subsequent amendments. |
● | Determine the transaction price for completing performance obligations. |
12 |
● | Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract. |
● | Recognize the revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation. |
The Company considers contract modification as a change in the scope or price (or both) of a contract that is approved by the parties. The parties describe contract modification as a change order, a variation, or an amendment. A contract modification exists when the parties to the contract approve a modification that either creates new or changes existing enforceable rights and obligations of the parties to the contract. The Company assumes a contract modification when approved in writing, by oral agreement, or implied by the customary business practice of the customer. If the parties to the contract have not approved a contract modification, the Company continues to apply the guidance to the existing contract until the contract modification is approved. The Company recognizes contract modification in various forms – including but not limited to partial termination, an extension of the contract term with a corresponding increase in price, adding new goods and/or services to the contract, with or without a corresponding change in price, and reducing the contract price without a change in goods or services promised.
Sales of goods
The Company manufactures wood panels which it sells to customers.
Revenue recognition occurs upon the following events: when a customer places an order, payment is received, and the goods are delivered to or drop-shipped to and accepted by the customer. Provisions are made for estimated sales returns based on historical return rates and experience which are immaterial. The Company may record contract liabilities, such as customer advances, when payments are received from customers prior to delivery or acceptance of goods by customers.
Formaldehyde treatment services
The Company provides formaldehyde removal services.
Revenue recognition occurs when (or as) the Company satisfies its performance obligations by providing the formaldehyde removal services to the customer and collectability can be reasonably assured. This typically occurs when the services are completed and the customer is able to use and benefit from them. The Company may record contract liabilities, such as customer advances, when payments are received from customers prior to delivery or acceptance of goods by customers. If the contract includes multiple performance obligations, the transaction price should be allocated to each obligation based on its relative standalone selling price.
Advertising Costs
All costs related to advertising are expensed in the period incurred. Advertising costs charged to operations were $nil and $nil, for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Provision for Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes is determined using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated based upon the temporary differences between the consolidated financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates that are applicable in each year.
The Company utilizes a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions (“tax contingencies”). The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount, which is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement.
The Company considers many factors when evaluating and estimating its tax positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments, and which may not accurately forecast actual outcomes. The Company includes interest and penalties related to tax contingencies in the provision of income taxes in the consolidated statements of operations. Management of the Company does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to change in the next twelve months significantly.
The Company computes basic and diluted earnings per share amounts in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options and other commitments to issue common stock were exercised or equity awards vest resulting in the issuance of common stock that could share in the earnings of the Company.
13 |
There are
potential dilutive shares of common stock from the Series A preferred stock and Series B preferred stock. The potentially dilutive instruments were excluded as such shares would be anti-dilutive in a period in which a net loss is recorded.
Contingencies
Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which could result in a loss to the Company which will be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves judgment. In assessing loss contingencies arising from legal proceedings pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may rise from such proceedings, the Company’s management evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought.
If the assessment of a contingency indicates it is probable a material loss will be incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, then the estimated loss is accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates a material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material would be disclosed.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value accounting establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. Fair value, which is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. This framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels as follows:
- | Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. |
- | Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments. |
- | Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value. |
The Company’s financial instruments consisted of cash, accounts payable, contract liabilities and loan from a shareholder. The estimated fair value of those balances approximates the carrying amount due to the short maturity of these instruments.
Segment Reporting
ASC 280, Segment Reporting, establishes standards for companies to report in the financial statements information about operating segments, products, services, geographic areas, and major customers. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise engaging in businesses activities for which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by the Company’s chief operating decision makers in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer, who reviews consolidated results including revenue, gross profit and operating profit at a consolidated level only. The Company does not distinguish between markets for the purpose of making decisions about resources allocation and performance assessment. Therefore, the Company has only one operating segment and one reportable segment.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires disclosure of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis, primarily through enhanced disclosures of significant segment expenses. The guidance will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 and requires retrospective application to all periods presented upon adoption, with early adoption permitted.

Ltd. The Company recognized a total of $2,170,638 as a capital contribution for the intellectual property.

Note 9 – Income taxes
The Company provides for income taxes under FASB ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. FASB ASC 740 requires the use of an asset and liability approach in accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in effect currently.
FASB ASC 740 requires the reduction of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance, if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In the Company’s opinion, it is uncertain whether they will generate sufficient taxable income in the future to fully utilize the net deferred tax asset. Accordingly, a valuation allowance equal to 100% of the deferred tax asset has also been recorded resulting in no net deferred tax asset.

Companies incorporated in Hong Kong are subject to Hong Kong Profits Tax on the taxable income as reported in its statutory financial statements adjusted in accordance with relevant Hong Kong tax laws. The applicable tax rate for the first Hong Kong Dollar (“HKD$”) 2 million of assessable profits is 8.25% and assessable profits above HKD$ 2 million will continue to be subject to the rate of 16.5% for corporations in Hong Kong, effective from the year of assessment 2018/2019. Before that, the applicable tax rate was 16.5% for corporations in Hong Kong. The Company did not make any provisions for Hong Kong profit tax as there were no assessable profits derived from or earned in Hong Kong since inception. Additionally, payments of dividends by the subsidiary incorporated in Hong Kong to the Company are not subject to any Hong Kong withholding tax.
PRC
Effective on January 1, 2008, the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, EIT Law, and Implementing Rules impose a unified enterprise income tax rate of 25% on all domestic-invested enterprises and foreign investment enterprises in PRC, unless they qualify under certain limited exceptions. As such, starting from January 1, 2008, the Company’s subsidiaries in PRC are subject to an enterprise income tax rate of 25%. NOLs can typically carried forward for a certain number of years (usually five years) to offset against future taxable income.

Note 10 – Concentrations, Risks, and Uncertainties
a) | Credit risk |
Cash deposits with banks are held in financial institutions in China, which deposits are not federally insured. Cash deposits with banks of which at times may exceed federally insured limits. Accordingly, the Company has a concentration of credit risk related to the uninsured part of bank deposits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to significant credit risk.
b) | Concentration |
The Company has a concentration risk related to suppliers and customers. The inability of the company to maintain existing relationships with suppliers or to establish new relationships with customers in the future may have a negative impact on the company’s ability to obtain goods sold to customers in a price advantageous and timely manner. If the Company is unable to obtain ample supply of goods from existing suppliers or alternative sources of supply, the Company may be unable to satisfy the orders from its customers, which may have a material adverse impact on revenue.
For the March 31, 2024, one customer

c) | Unissued VAT invoices |
The products that are sold by the Company in PRC are subject to value-added tax (“VAT“) at a rate of 6% of the gross sales price or at a rate approved by the Chinese local government. This VAT may be offset by VAT paid on purchase of raw materials included in the cost of producing the finished goods sold.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2024, due to
the rules imposed by local authorities on newly established companies, which limited the issuance of VAT invoices per month. Consequently,
the Company was not able to issue VAT invoices for all its sales. During the quarter ended March 31, 2024, the Company had issued a total
of $84,497 in VAT invoices for its sales, leaving $
The local authority may require the Company to rectify the issue above by demanding payments and submitting the relevant filings within a specified time period. If the Company fails to do so within the specified time period, the local authority may impose a monetary fine on it and may also apply to the local people’s court for enforcement.
If the Company receives any notice from the local authority, the Company will be required respond to the notice and pay all amounts due to the government, including any administrative penalties that may be imposed, which would require the Company to divert its financial resources which may impact its resources, if any, to make such payments. Additionally, any administrative costs in excess of the payments, if material, may impact the Company's operating results.
As of today, the Company has not received any notice from the local housing authority or any claim from our current and former employees.
d) | Restriction on cash disbursement on bank account |
As a newly established business, the Company experienced restrictions imposed by the bank on new bank accounts by limiting its deposits and disbursements. In order to avoid disruption to the business operations, the Company has engaged a related party, Shenzhen Junfeng Wood Chain Network Technology Co., Ltd., to collect sales revenues on behalf of the Company. These funds are then deposited or transferred to the Company's bank account on a regular basis, ensuring the continued liquidity necessary for operational activities.
As of March 31, 2024, the Company had an outstanding receivable of
$

Management continuously evaluates the impact of these restrictions on the Company's cash management and operational efficiency. Despite the challenges posed by the restriction on cash disbursement, the Company remains committed to ensuring the uninterrupted conduct of its business activities.
It is important to note that the amounts receivable from the related party are subject to periodic reconciliation and may fluctuate over time based on sales activities and remittance schedules.

Overview
The Company’s current business objective is to operate as a holding company with its subsidiaries operating in the wood treatment, tea and precious metals industry, including acting as a distributor and trader. We intend to use the Company’s limited personnel and financial resources in connection with such activities.
On November 7, 2022, the Company purchased from GRL21 Nominee Limited all the shares of Kuber Resources (Hong Kong) Limited for one Hong Kong dollar (HKD1.00). Accordingly, Kuber Resources (Hong Kong) Limited became a fully-owned subsidiary of the Company as at November 7, 2022. Kuber Resources (Hong Kong) Limited (previously known as Star Wise Limited) is a company incorporated in Hong Kong on October 21, 2022. It changed its name to Kuber (Resources (Hong Kong) Limited on 1 November 2022 and concurrently filed its notification of commencement of Business by Corporation on the same day. It had not traded and/or otherwise operated until after it had been purchased by the Company on November 7, 2022. The purpose of obtaining Kuber Resources (Hong Kong) Limited is to start an additional line of business outside of the international commodities trade currently undertaken by Asia Image Limited.
On September 18, 2023, the Company acquired all shares of Grayscale Investment (Asia) Limited ("Grayscale HK") from unrelated parties for two Hong Kong dollars (HKD 2.00) per share, along with its subsidiary. Consequently, Grayscale HK became a fully-owned subsidiary of the Company. Grayscale HK was established in Hong Kong on September 31, 2021, which has not commenced any operations since its inception. Grayscale Investment (ShenZhen) Limited ("Grayscale WOFE") was established on November 1, 2021, as a wholly foreign-owned entity in the People’s Republic of China ("PRC"). Grayscale WOFE is wholly owned by Grayscale HK.
On October 17, 2023, the Company through its wholly owned subsidiary, incorporated Kuber Resources (Guangdong) Co., Ltd. (“Kuber Guangdong") as a wholly owned subsidiary of Graysacle WOFE in Guangdong, PRC. Kuber Guangdong’s scope of business includes manufacturing, sales and distribution of wood panels, as well as providing formaldehyde treatment services.

Recent developments
On September 18, 2023, Kuber Resources Corp. (the “Company”) purchased from Zhong Jia Ping and Deng Xiaobo all the shares of Grayscale Investment (Asia) Limited, a Hong Kong company, for two Hong Kong dollars (HKD2.00). Accordingly, Grayscale Investment (Asia) Limited became a fully-owned subsidiary of the Company as at September 18, 2023. Grayscale Investment (Asia) Limited had not traded and/or otherwise operated as at the time it had been purchased by the Company on September 18, 2023. However, Grayscale Investment (Asia) Limited in turn holds all the shares of Grayscale Investment (Shenzhen) Co Limited, a Shenzhen, China company, which also had not traded and/or otherwise operated. Accordingly, Grayscale Investment (Shenzhen) Co Limited as at September 18, 2023 also became a fully-owned subsidiary of the Company.
The purpose of obtaining Grayscale Investment (Asia) Limited was to start an additional line of business outside of the international commodities trade currently undertaken by Asia Image Limited and consulting services provided by Kuber Resources (Hong Kong) Limited.
On October 16, 2023, Grayscale Investment (Shenzhen) Co Limited entered into an agreement with Shenzhen Junfeng Woodlink Network Technology Co Ltd. whereby Grayscale Investment (Shenzhen) Co Limited would arrange to incorporate a new company in Guangdong, China to operate a wood panel treatment business.
On October 17, 2023, Kuber Resources (Guangdong) Co Limited was incorporated in Guangdong, China and Grayscale Investment (Shenzhen) Co Limited became its founder and 100% beneficial shareholder. Accordingly, Kuber Resources (Guangdong) Co Limited is a fully-owned subsidiary of the Company as at October 17, 2023. Kuber Resources (Guangdong) Co Limited’s operations are focused on the service and treatment of wood panels.
Results of operations
The following comparative analysis on results of operations was based primarily on the comparative financial statements, footnotes and related information for the periods identified below and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes to those statements that are included elsewhere in this report.
Results Of Operations During the Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 as Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2023
Revenue
For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company generated $1,262,073 of revenue and $33,182 revenue, respectively, representing an increase of $1,228,891.
25 |
On October 17, 2023, the Company acquired a fully-owned subsidiary of Kuber Resources (Guangdong) Co Limited whose operations are focused on the service and treatment of wood panels. Revenues from formaldehyde treatment services were $1,239,095 and $nil for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Cost of Revenue
For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company generated cost of revenue of $121,503 and $nil cost of revenue, respectively. The cost of revenue is related to the formaldehyde treatment services.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the gross profit was $1,140,570 or 90.4% and $33,182 or 100%, respectively.
Expenses
For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, we incurred operating expenses of $308,283 and $41,206, respectively. The increase in operating expenses is mainly due to the merger of Kuber Resources (Guangdong) Co Limited in October 2023 and Grayscale Investment (Asia) Limited in September 2023. The Company has incurred additional operation cost for formaldehyde treatment services in 2024.
26 |
Net Loss
For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, we incurred net income of $610,657 and a net loss of $9,397, respectively.
The significant increase in net income during the three months ended March 31, 2024 is mainly due to the increase of formaldehyde treatment services.
Liquidity and capital resources
Currently, we are relying on sales of our products. Currently, we pay costs associated with running a business on a day-to-day basis.
As of March 31, 2024, we had current assets of $4,698,588 as compared to $3,473,299 as of December 31, 2023. We have cash of $156,471 and $143,860 as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
To the extent that our capital resources are insufficient to meet current or planned operating requirements, we will seek additional funds through equity or debt financing, collaborative or other arrangements with corporate partners, licensees or others, and from other sources, which may have the effect of diluting the holdings of existing shareholders. The Company has no current arrangements with respect to, or sources of, such additional financing and we do not anticipate that existing shareholders will provide any portion of our future financing requirements.
No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available when needed or that such financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company. If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to delay or terminate expenditures for certain of its programs that it would otherwise seek to develop and commercialize. This would have a material adverse effect on the Company.
Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $198,825, and provided by operating activities was $20,056 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, respectively.
The net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily related to increase in accounts receivables, decrease in customer advance with an offset by net income of $610,657, increase in accounts payable and other payable.
The net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was primarily related to shares issued for services of $30,177, increase in account payable and accrued expenses, offset by increase in deposit and decrease in contract liability.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
This item is not applicable as we are currently considered a smaller reporting company.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our CEO and CFO have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this document. Based on the evaluation, they have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to us that is required to be included in our periodic SEC filings and ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief financial officer, or person performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2024 due to the material weaknesses as disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-12G filed with the SEC.
Limitations of the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Internal Controls
Our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and internal controls 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 inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company 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 control.
The design of any system of controls is also 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 our stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, a control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

There are no proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, or any registered or beneficial shareholder, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our interest.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information required under this item.
THE EFFECTS OF THE RECENT COVID-19 CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC ARE NOT IMMEDIATELY KNOWN, BUT MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS, RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY, AND CASH FLOW.
Presently, the impact of COVID-19 has not shown any imminent adverse effects on our business. This notwithstanding, it is still unknown and difficult to predict what adverse effects, if any, COVID-19 can have on our business, or against the various aspects of same, or how COVID-19 will continue to effect the world as the virus case numbers rise and fall.
As of the date of this Quarterly Report, COVID-19 coronavirus has been declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization, has been declared a National Emergency by the United States Government. COVID-19 coronavirus caused significant volatility in global markets. The spread of COVID-19 coronavirus has caused public health officials to recommend precautions to mitigate the spread of the virus, especially as to travel and congregating in large numbers. In addition, certain countries, states and municipalities have enacted, quarantining and “shelter-in-place” regulations which severely limit the ability of people to move and travel and require non-essential businesses and organizations to close. While some places have lessened their “shelter-in-place” restrictions and travel bans, as they are removed there is no certainty that an outbreak will not occur, and additional restrictions imposed again in response.
It is unclear how such restrictions, which will contribute to a general slowdown in the global economy, will affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and our future strategic plans. Shelter-in-place and essential-only travel regulations could negatively impact us. The current status of COVID-19 coronavirus closures and restrictions could negatively impact our ability to receive funding from our existing capital sources as each business is and has been affected uniquely.
If any of our employees, consultant, customers, or visitors were to become infected we could be forced to close our operations temporarily as a preventative measure to prevent the risk of spread which could also negatively impact our ability to receive funding from our existing capital sources as each business is and has been affected uniquely
In addition, our headquarters are located in Hong Kong, China which experienced restrictions on individuals and business shutdowns as the result of COVID-19. It is unclear at this time how these restrictions will be continued and/or amended as the pandemic evolves. We are hopeful that COVID-19 closures will have only a limited effect on our operations.

GENERAL SECURITIES MARKET UNCERTAINTIES RESULTING FROM THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC.
Since the outset of the pandemic the United States and worldwide national securities markets have undergone unprecedented stress due to the uncertainties of the pandemic and the resulting reactions and outcomes of government, business and the general population. These uncertainties have resulted in declines in all market sectors, increases in volumes due to flight to safety and governmental actions to support the markets. As a result, until the pandemic has stabilized, the markets may not be available to the Company for purposes of raising required capital. Should we not be able to obtain financing when required, in the amounts necessary to execute on our plans in full, or on terms which are economically feasible we may be unable to sustain the necessary capital to pursue our strategic plan and may have to reduce the planned future growth and/or scope of our operations.
