The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has included the following disclosure in the Revised Registration Statement:
“During the normal courses of our business, cash is transferred between our companies via wire transfer to and from bank accounts to pay certain business expenses. Cash is maintained by the Company in its bank account and only transferred to its subsidiaries when necessary to strengthen our business capabilities, pay for new office development and marketing expenditure. In addition, cash may be used by the Company to meet corporate expenses such a financial reporting covering audit fees, SEC counsel’s fees, Nasdaq listing fees, IR/PR expenses, marketing expenses, advertising and promotional expenses, corporate support staffing expenses, etc.
As of the current date, the Company has not distributed any cash dividends or made any cash distributions. Instead it has made share distributions of companies it has incubated, namely DSwiss, Inc. and SeaTech Ventures Corp.”

As of the current date, the Company has not received any cash dividends from its subsidiaries.
On March 23, 2020, one of our subsidiaries, Asia UBS Global Limited, which is incorporated in Belize, distributed a cash dividend of $90,000 to its immediate holding company, Greenpro Resources Limited, which is incorporated in the British Virgin Islands (“BVI”). There were no tax consequences, as both Belize and the BVI are tax haven countries.
As of the current date, the Company has not distributed any cash dividends or made any cash distribution. Instead it has made share distributions of companies it has incubated
● | DSwiss Inc (OTC Pink: DQWS): 11,840,684 shares of common stock of DQWS to the Company’s shareholders of record as of September 30, 2020 | |
● | Seatech Ventures Corp. (OTC Pink: SEAV): distribution of 7,720,187 shares of common stock of SEAV to the Company’s shareholders of record as of September 13, 2021 |
The following discussion is a summary of U.S. federal income tax considerations generally applicable to the ownership our shares of common stock by a U.S. Holder (as defined below) that acquires the shares and holds the shares as “capital assets” (generally, property held for investment) under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code. This discussion is based upon existing U.S. federal tax law, which is subject to differing interpretations or change, possibly with retroactive effect. There can be no assurance that the IRS or a court will not take a contrary position. This discussion, moreover, does not address the U.S. federal estate, gift, Medicare, and alternative minimum tax considerations, or any state, local and non-U.S. tax considerations, relating to the ownership of the shares of common stock. The following summary does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be important to particular investors in light of their individual circumstances or to persons in special tax situations such as:
● | banks and other financial institutions; | |
● | insurance companies; | |
● | pension plans; | |
● | cooperatives; | |
● | regulated investment companies; | |
● | real estate investment trusts; | |
● | broker-dealers; | |
● | traders that elect to use a mark-to-market method of accounting; | |
● | certain former U.S. citizens or long-term residents; | |
● | tax-exempt entities (including private foundations); | |
● | holders who acquire their shares of common stock pursuant to any employee share option or otherwise as compensation; | |
● | investors that will hold their shares of common stock as part of a straddle, hedge, conversion, constructive sale or other integrated transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes; | |
● | investors that have a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar; | |
● | persons holding ordinary shares of common stock in connection with a trade or business conducted outside the United States; | |
● | persons that actually or constructively own 10% or more of our stock (by vote or value); or | |
● | partnerships or other entities taxable as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes, or persons holding the ordinary shares or ordinary shares through such entities, |
all of whom may be subject to tax rules that differ significantly from those discussed below.
Each U.S. Holder is urged to consult its tax advisor regarding the application of U.S. federal taxation to its particular circumstances, and the state, local, non-U.S. and other tax considerations of the ownership and disposition of the ordinary shares or ordinary shares.
Any cash distributions paid on the shares of commons stock out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles, will generally be includible in the gross income of a U.S. Holder as dividend income on the day actually or constructively received by the U.S. Holder, in the case of shares of common stock. Because we do not intend to determine our earnings and profits on the basis of U.S. federal income tax principles, any distribution we pay will generally be treated as a “dividend” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Dividends received on the shares of common stock will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction allowed to corporations in respect of dividends received from U.S. corporations.
Individuals and other non-corporate U.S. Holders will be subject to tax at the lower capital gain tax rate applicable to “qualified dividend income”; provided that certain conditions are satisfied, including that (1) the shares of common stock on which the dividends are paid are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States, or, in the event that we are deemed to be a PRC resident enterprise under the PRC tax law, we are eligible for the benefit of the United States-PRC income tax treaty (the “Treaty”), (2) we are neither a PFIC nor treated as such with respect to a U.S. Holder (as discussed below) for the taxable year in which the dividend is paid and the preceding taxable year, and (3) certain holding period and other requirements are met. Non-corporate U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the availability of the lower rate for dividends paid with respect to the ordinary shares or ordinary shares.
In the event that we are deemed to be a PRC resident enterprise under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law we may be eligible for the benefits of the Treaty. If we are eligible for such benefits, dividends we pay on our shares of common stock, regardless of whether such shares readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States, would be eligible for the reduced rates of taxation described in the preceding paragraph, provided that certain holding period and other requirements are met and that we are neither a PFIC nor treated as such with respect to a U.S. Holder for the taxable year in which the dividend is paid and the preceding taxable year.
For U.S. foreign tax credit purposes, dividends paid on the shares of common stock will be treated as income from foreign sources and generally will constitute passive category income. In the event that we are deemed to be a PRC resident enterprise under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, a U.S. Holder may be subject to PRC withholding taxes on dividends paid on the shares of common. Depending on the U.S. Holder’s particular facts and circumstances and subject to a number of complex conditions and limitations, PRC withholding taxes on dividends that are non-refundable under the Treaty may be treated as foreign taxes eligible for credit against a U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability. A U.S. Holder who does not elect to claim a foreign tax credit for foreign tax withheld may instead claim a deduction for U.S. federal income tax purposes, in respect of such withholding, but only for a year in which such holder elects to do so for all creditable foreign income taxes. The rules governing the foreign tax credit are complex and U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the availability of the foreign tax credit under their particular circumstances.
For purposes of this discussion, a “U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of shares of common stock, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:
● | an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States; | |
● | a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created in or organized under the law of the United States or any state thereof or the District of Columbia; | |
● | an estate the income of which is includible in gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes regardless of its source; or | |
● | a trust (A) the administration of which is subject to the primary supervision of a U.S. court and which has one or more U.S. persons who have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (B) that has otherwise validly elected to be treated as a U.S. person under the Code. |
If a partnership (or other entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) is a beneficial owner of shares of our common stock, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partnerships holding shares of our common stock and their partners are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding an investment in the ordinary shares or ordinary shares.
PRC Foreign Exchange
Our PRC subsidiaries generate primarily all of their revenue in Renminbi, which is not freely convertible into other currencies.
The PRC government imposes controls on the convertibility of the Renminbi into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency out of China. Under existing PRC foreign exchange regulations, payments of current account items, including profit distributions, interest payments and trade and service-related foreign exchange transactions, can be made in foreign currencies without prior approval of the PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”), by complying with certain procedural requirements. Specifically, under the existing exchange restrictions, without prior approval of SAFE, cash generated from the operations of our PRC subsidiaries in China may be used to pay dividends to us. However, approval from or registration with appropriate government authorities is required where Renminbi is to be converted into foreign currency and remitted out of China to pay capital expenses such as the repayment of loans denominated in foreign currencies. As a result, we need to obtain SAFE approval to use cash generated from the operations of our PRC subsidiaries to pay off their respective debt in a currency other than Renminbi owed to entities outside China, or to make other capital expenditure payments outside China in a currency other than Renminbi.
In light of the flood of capital outflows of China in 2016 due to the weakening Renminbi, the PRC government has imposed more restrictive foreign exchange policies and stepped up scrutiny of major outbound capital movement including overseas direct investment. More restrictions and substantial vetting process are put in place by SAFE to regulate cross-border transactions falling under the capital account. The PRC government may at its discretion further restrict access in the future to foreign currencies for current account transactions. If the foreign exchange control system prevents us from obtaining sufficient foreign currencies to satisfy our foreign currency demands, we may not be able to pay dividends in foreign currencies to our shareholders, including holders of our shares of common stock.
In addition, the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, or EIT, and its implementation rules provide that a withholding tax rate of up to 10% will be applicable to dividends payable by Chinese companies to non-PRC-resident enterprises unless otherwise exempted or reduced according to treaties or arrangements between the PRC central government and governments of other countries or regions where the non-PRC resident enterprises are incorporated.”
