Explanatory Note

We are filing this Amendment on Form 10Q/A to amend our Quarterly Report (“Amended Report”) for the three months ended December 31, 2018, originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 13, 2019 (the “Original Report”), to amend our consolidated financial statements.

This Amended Report has not been updated for events occurring after the filing of the Original Report nor does it change any other disclosures contained in the Original Report. Accordingly, this Amended Report should be read in conjunction with the Original Report.

In accordance with applicable SEC rules, this Form 10Q/A includes new certifications required by Sections 302 and 906 of the SarbanesOxley Act of 2002, as amended, from our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer dated February 13, 2019 10-Q as of the filing date of this Form 10Q/A.

Amendment and Restatement Background

In the course of its financial statements closing process subsequent to the period ended March 31, 2018, the CEO and CFO (collectively, “the Management”) of Exceed World, Inc. (the “Company”), determined that the Company’s annual financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2018 and interim financial statements for the three-month ended December 31, 2018 and six months ended March 31, 2019, could no longer be relied upon. Specifically, on June 12, 2019, Management discovered that (i) overstatement of cost of revenue which should not be expensed during the year ended September 30, 2018, and (ii) understatement of administrative expenses during the year ended September 30, 2018; overstatement of administrative expenses during the three months ended December 31, 2018. As periods to such applicable costs.

The Company has evaluated that the changes described above will result in (i) decrease in accounts payable of $1,734,209 as of December 31, 2018, increase in accumulated earnings of $1,719,934 as of December 31, 2018 and increase in accumulated other comprehensive income of $14,275 as of December 31, 2018; and (ii) an decrease in administrative expenses of $96,845 for the three months ended December 31, 2018, increase in net income of $96,845 for the three months ended December 31, 2018, increase in due to related parties of $1,000, due to director of $330,326 and other accounts payable of $74,755 as of December 31, 2018, decrease in accumulated earnings of $406,081 as of December 31, 2018.

Because these revisions are treated as corrections of errors to our prior period financial results, the revisions are considered to be an “amendment” under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, the revised financial information included in the Annual Report on Form 10-Q/A has been identified as “amended and restated”.

Internal Control Consideration 

As disclosed in the Company’s Form 10-Q filed on February 13, 2019, Management had previously disclosed that material weakness existed as of December 31, 2018 with respect to the lack of a functioning audit committee and inadequate segregation of duties resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures. While management’s assessment of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is ongoing, because of the material weaknesses identified, management concludes that the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting remain ineffective as of the date of this report. Management has determined that the failure to record these cost of revenues and professional fees resulted from control deficiencies with respect to the tracking and disclosure of all Company agreements, and that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting. The Company has thoroughly investigated the entire financial reporting process to ensure no other material errors are left undiscovered that may affect the Company’s financial results.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF December 31, 2018

(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION, DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS, AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Exceed World, Inc., (the “Company”), was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on November 25, 2014.

On September 26, 2018, e-Learning Laboratory Co., Ltd. (“e-Learning”), a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Force International Holdings Limited, which was incorporated in Hong Kong with limited liability (“Force Holdings”), entered into a share purchase agreement with Force Internationale Limited (“Force Internationale”), the holding company of Force Holdings, in which e-Learning agreed to sell and Force Internationale agreed to purchase 74.5% equity interest of the Company at a consideration of US$26,000.

On September 26, 2018, the same date, Force Internationale entered into a share purchase agreement with the Company, in which Force Internationale agreed to sell and the Company agreed to purchase 100% equity interest of Force Holdings. In consideration of the agreement, the Company issued 12,700,000 common stock at US$1 each to Force Internationale. The results of these transactions are that Force Internationale is a 84.4% owner of the Company and the Company is a 100% owner of Force Holdings (the “Reorganization”).

On December 6, 2018, the Company entered into a share contribution agreement (the "Agreement") with Force Internationale, a 84.4% owner of the Company. Under the Agreement, the Company transferred 100% of the equity interest of School TV Co., Ltd. ("School TV"), to Force Internationale without consideration. This Agreement was approved by the boards of directors of the Company, Force Internationale and School TV. Upon the completion of the disposal, School TV was deconsolidated from the Group's consolidated financial statements.

As of December 31, 2018, we operate through our wholly owned subsidiaries, which are engaged in provision of the educational services through an internet platform called “Force Club”.

The Company has elected September 30th as its fiscal year end.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Exceed World, Inc. have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. In the opinion of the management of the Company, all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the three months ended December 31, 2018, have been made. Results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for the entire fiscal year. When used in these notes, the terms “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our” mean the Company. Certain information and note disclosure normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America has been omitted from these statements pursuant to such accounting principles and, accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes necessary for comprehensive financial statements and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2018, included in our Form 10-K.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries (the “Group”). Inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Name of Subsidiary	State or Other Jurisdiction of Incorporation or Organization
Force International Holdings Limited	Hong Kong
e-Learning Laboratory Co., Ltd.	Japan
e-Communications Co., Ltd. (“e-Communications”)	Japan

USE OF ESTIMATES 

The presentation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses reported in those financial statements. Certain significant accounting policies that contain subjective management estimates and assumptions include those related to going concern, allowance for doubtful accounts, valuation allowance on deferred income tax, write-down in value of inventory and sales allowance. Operating results in the future could vary from the amounts derived from management's estimates and assumptions.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION

A related party is generally defined as (i) any person that holds 10% or more of the Company’s securities and their immediate families, (ii) the Company’s management, (iii) someone that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the Company, or (iv) anyone who can significantly influence the financial and operating decisions of the Company. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties. The Company conducts business with its related parties in the ordinary course of business.

Transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm's-length basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, free market dealings may not exist. Representations about transactions with related parties, if made, shall not imply that the related party transactions were consummated on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm's-length transactions unless such representations can be substantiated.

CASH EQUIVALENTS

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase are classified as cash equivalents.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND ALLOWANCE

Accounts receivable are recognized and carried at the original invoice amount less allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An estimate for doubtful accounts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written off against the allowance when identified.

MARKETABLE SECURITIES

Investments in marketable securities with readily determinable fair values and all investments in equity securities are reported at their fair values as quoted by market exchanges in the consolidated balance sheets. Unrealized and realized gains and losses are included in the change in fair value of marketable securities.

INVENTORIES

Inventories, consisting of educational products accounted for using the weighted average method, are valued at the lower of cost and market value.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less depreciation and impairment loss. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method or reducing balance method at the following estimated useful life:

Building	Over the shorter of the lease terms or 10 years on straight-line method
Equipment	2 to 15 years on reducing balance method
Vehicle	3 years on reducing balance method

Assets held under capital lease obligation are depreciated over their expected useful lives on the same basis as owned assets. However, when there is no reasonable certainty that ownership will be obtained by the end of the lease term, assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The Company amortizes its intangible assets with definite useful lives over their estimated useful lives and periodically evaluated for recoverability, and those evaluations take into account events or circumstances that warrant revised estimates of useful lives or that indicate that impairment exists.

The intangible assets with definite useful life are amortized using the straight-line basis over the following estimated useful life:

Software	5 years
Membership	15 years – 30 years

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

The carrying value of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets subject to amortization is evaluated whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Management has determined there were no events or changes in circumstances that required an impairment during the three months ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company recognizes revenue by applying the following steps in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606 - Revenue from contracts with Customers: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. When payments are received in advance of recognizing revenue, the Company includes the amount in deferred income on the consolidated balance sheets. Membership income of e-Learning educational services was recognized when the membership services are rendered.

ADVERTISING

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and included in selling and distributions expenses. Advertising expense was $214,513 and $314,773 for the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION 

The Company maintains its books and records in its local currencies, Japanese YEN (“JPY”) and Hong Kong Dollars (“HK$”), which are the functional currencies as being the primary currencies of the economic environment in which their operations are conducted. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

The reporting currency of the Company is the United States Dollars (“US$”) and the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been expressed in US$. In accordance with ASC Topic 830-30, Translation of Financial Statement, assets and liabilities of the Group whose functional currency is not 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 are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the statements of shareholders’ equity.

Translation of amounts from the local currency of the Group into US$1 has been made at the following exchange rates:

	December 31, 2018
Current JPY: US$1 exchange rate	109.56
Average JPY: US$1 exchange rate	112.77
	December 31, 2018
Current HK$: US$1 exchange rate	7.83
Average HK$: US$1 exchange rate	7.83

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME OR LOSS

ASC Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income”, establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income or loss, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income or loss as defined includes all changes in equity during a period from non-owner sources. Accumulated comprehensive income, as presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity consists of changes in unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency translation.

BASIC EARNINGS PER SHARE

The Company computes basic and diluted earnings per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common stock 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.

The Company does not have any potentially dilutive instruments as of December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2018 and, thus, anti-dilution issues are not applicable.

INCOME TAXES

The provision for income taxes includes income taxes currently payable and those deferred as a result of temporary differences between the financial statements and the income tax basis of assets and liabilities. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in income tax rates on deferred income tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income or loss in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount of future tax benefit when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Projected future taxable income and ongoing tax planning strategies are considered and evaluated when assessing the need for a valuation allowance. Any increase or decrease in a valuation allowance could have a material adverse or beneficial impact on the Group’s income tax provision and net income or loss in the period the determination is made.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This new guidance will require that a lessee recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases with a lease term of more than twelve months, with the result being the recognition of a right of use asset and a lease liability. The new lease accounting requirements are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820). This new guidance removes and modifies disclosure requirements on fair value statements. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within those fiscal year. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, on its disclosures in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

NOTE 3 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

The Company’s valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of marketable equity securities are derived from quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

NOTE 4 - INCOME TAXES

The Group conducts its major businesses in Japan and is subject to tax in this jurisdiction. As a result of its business activities, the Group files tax returns that are subject to examination by the local tax authority.

National income tax in Japan is charged at 15% with taxable income up to JPY8,000,000 and 23.2% at December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2018, with taxable income over JPY8,000,000.

United States

The Company is a Delaware corporation that is subject to U.S. corporate income tax on its taxable income at a rate of up to 21% for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017 and U.S. corporate income tax on its taxable income of up to 35% for prior tax years. Recent U.S. federal tax legislation, commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “2017 Act”), was signed into law on December 22, 2017. The 2017 Act significantly modified the U.S. Internal Revenue Code by, among other things, reducing the statutory U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017; limiting and/or eliminating many business deductions; migrating the U.S. to a territorial tax system with a one-time transition tax on a mandatory deemed repatriation of previously deferred foreign earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries; subject to certain limitations, generally eliminating U.S. corporate income tax on dividends from foreign subsidiaries; and providing for new taxes on certain foreign earnings. Taxpayers may elect to pay the one-time transition tax over eight years or in a single lump sum.

The 2017 Act also includes provisions for a new tax on the Global Intangible Low-taxed Income (“GILTI”) effective for tax years of foreign corporations beginning after December 31, 2017. The GILTI provisions impose a tax on foreign income in excess of a deemed return on tangible assets of controlled foreign corporations (“CFCs”), subject to the possible use of foreign tax credits and a deduction equal to 50 percent to offset the income tax liability, subject to some limitations.

The Company’s management is still evaluating the effect of the 2017 Act on the Company. Management may update its judgment of that effect based on its continuing evaluation and on future regulations or guidance issued by the U.S. Department of the Treasury, and specific actions the Company may take in the future.

To the extent that portions of the Company’s U.S. taxable income, such as Subpart F income or GILTI, are determined to be from sources outside of the U.S., subject to certain limitations, the Company may be able to claim foreign tax credits to offset its U.S. income tax liabilities. If dividends that the Company receives from its subsidiaries are determined to be from sources outside of the U.S., subject to certain limitations, the Company will generally not be required to pay U.S. corporate income tax on those dividends. Any liabilities for U.S. corporate income tax will be accrued in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income and estimated tax payments will be made when required by U.S. law.

One-Time Transition Tax Related to the 2017 Act

The Group estimated the amount of U.S. corporate income tax based on the deemed repatriation to the United States of the Company’s share of previously deferred earnings of certain non-U.S. subsidiaries of the Company mandated by the 2017 Act. The Group retained an accumulated deficit as of December 31, 2017 and therefore did not recognize any one-time transition tax. The actual impact of the 2017 Act on the Company may differ from management’s estimates, and management may update its judgments based on future regulations or guidance issued by the U.S. Department of the Treasury, and specific actions the Company may take in the future.

We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe-harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and are including this statement for purposes of complying with those safe-harbor provisions. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on our operations and future prospects on a consolidated basis include, but are not limited to: changes in economic conditions, legislative/regulatory changes, availability of capital, interest rates, competition, and generally accepted accounting principles. These risks and uncertainties should also be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements.

Company Overview

Corporate History

The Company was originally incorporated with the name Brilliant Acquisition, Inc., under the laws of the State of Delaware on November 25, 2014, with an objective to acquire, or merge with, an operating business.

On January 12, 2016, Thomas DeNunzio of 780 Reservoir Avenue, #123, Cranston, RI 02910, the sole shareholder of the Company, entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with e-Learning Laboratory Co., Ltd. (“e-Learning”), with an address at 1-23-38-6F, Esakacho, Suita-shi, Osaka 564-0063 Japan. Pursuant to the Agreement, Mr. DeNunzio transferred to e-Learning, 20,000,000 shares of our common stock which represented all of our issued and outstanding shares at the time of sale.

Following the closing of the share purchase transaction, e-Learning gained a 100% interest in the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock and became the controlling shareholder of the Company.

On January 12, 2016, the Company changed its name to Exceed World, Inc. and filed with the Delaware Secretary of State, a Certificate of Amendment.

On January 12, 2016, Mr. Thomas DeNunzio resigned as our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, President, Director, Secretary, and Treasurer. The resignation was not the result of any disagreement with us on any matter relating to our operations, policies or practices.

On January 12, 2016, Mr. Tomoo Yoshida was appointed as our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, President, Director, Secretary, and Treasurer.

On February 29, 2016, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Tomoo Yoshida, our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, President, Director, Secretary, and Treasurer. Pursuant to this Agreement, Tomoo Yoshida transferred to Exceed World, Inc., 10 shares of the common stock of E&F Co., Ltd., a Japan corporation (“E&F”), which represented all of its issued and outstanding shares in consideration of $4,835 (JPY 500,000). Following the effective date of the share purchase transaction on February 29, 2016, Exceed World, Inc. gained a 100% interest in the issued and outstanding shares of E&F’s common stock and E&F became a wholly owned subsidiary of Exceed World.On August 4, 2016, the E&F changed its name to School TV Co., Ltd. (“School TV”) and filed such amendment with the Legal Affairs Bureau in Osaka, Japan. 

On April 1, 2016, e-Learning entered into stock purchase agreements with 7 Japanese shareholders. Pursuant to these agreements, e-Learning sold 140,000 shares of common stock in total to these individuals and received $270 as aggregate consideration. Each shareholder paid JPY0.215 per share. At the time of purchase the price paid per share by each shareholder was the equivalent of about $0.002. 

The aforementioned sale of shares was exempt from registration in accordance with Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Regulation S") because the above sales of the stock were made to non-U.S. persons (as defined under Rule 902 section (k)(2)(i) of Regulation S), pursuant to offshore transactions, and no directed selling efforts were made in the United States by the issuer, a distributor, any of their respective affiliates, or any person acting on behalf of any of the foregoing.

On August 9, 2016, e-Learning entered into stock purchase agreements with 33 Japanese shareholders. Pursuant to these agreements, e-Learning sold 3,300 shares of common stock in total to these individuals and received $330 as aggregate consideration. Each shareholder paid JPY10 per share. At the time of purchase the price paid per share by each shareholder was the equivalent of about $0.1. 

These shares were sold pursuant to the Company’s effective S-1 Registration Statement deemed effective on July 20, 2016 at 4pm EST. 

On October 28, 2016, Exceed World, Inc., a Delaware corporation, (the “Company” or “Exceed”), with the approval of its board of directors and its majority shareholders by written consent in lieu of a meeting, authorized the cancellation of shares owned by e-Learning. e-Learning has provided consent for the cancellation of shares. The total number of shares cancelled was 19,000,000 shares which was comprised of 16,500,000 restricted common shares and 2,500,000 free trading shares.

No fractional shares were issued. The authorized number of shares, and par value per share, of Common Stock are not affected by the 20-for-1 Forward Stock Split.

On September 26, 2018, the Company entered into, and consummated, a share purchase agreement with Force Internationale to acquire 100% of Force Holdings. Force Holdings is the 100% owner of e-Learning. In consideration of this agreement, the Company issued 12,700,000 common shares to Force Internationale.

On December 6, 2018, the Company entered into a share contribution agreement (the "Agreement") with Force Internationale, a 84.4% owner of the Company.

Business Information

As of December 31, 2018, we operate through our wholly owned subsidiaries, which are engaged in provision of the educational services through an internet platform called “Force Club”.

Our principal executive offices are located at 1-1-36, 1-2-38-6F, Esaka-cho, Suita-shi, Osaka 564-0063, Japan. Our phone number is +81-6-6339-4177.

Liquidity and Capital Resources 

As of December 31, 2018, and September 30, 2018, we had cash and cash equivalents in the amount of $16,398,758 and $22,737,755, respectively. The decrease in cash is attributed to the decrease of accounts payable and deferred income. These accounts payable were mainly unpaid commissions to force club premium members and these payments were completed as of the date of this report. Currently, our cash balance is sufficient to fund our operations without the need for additional funding.

Revenues

We recorded revenue of $7,892,164 for the three months ended December 31, 2018 as opposed to $5,605,725 for the three months ended December 31, 2017. The increase in revenue, in our opinion, is attributed to an increase in recruitment activities of premium force club members.

Net Loss

We recorded net loss of $356,822 and $1,896,066 for the three months ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017. The decrease in net loss is attributed to an increase in revenue.

Cash flow

Working capital

As of December 31, 2018, and September 30, 2018, we had working capital of $13,956,337 and $13,436,660, respectively.

Advertising

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and included in selling and distributions expenses. Advertising expenses were $214,513 and $314,773 for the three months ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. Advertising expenses were comprised of, but not limited to, sales events hosted for sales agents, exhibitions to promote and display company product offerings, signboards, and public relations activities.

Future Plans

Over the course of the next twelve months, we the "Group" (which is comprised of the Company, Force International Holdings Limited, a Hong Kong limited company, and its subsidiaries) intend to focus on expanding our sales network in order to strengthen our business activities. Currently, revenue is derived primarily from sales of the Group's Force Club premium package. While it is the intention of the Group to maintain this revenue stream, and to further increase the number of premium members of the Force Club, the Group also intends to diversify its operations and develop additional business activities.

In order to do so, the Group intends to focus on development of an online educational platform on which additional advertising income can be generated. At present, there are no definitive plans that have been made regarding the implementation or direction of this future online educational platform. However, we intend to begin efforts to hire additional personnel with extensive experience in web marketing in order to assist in the development of our future platform.

Further, it is the intention of the Group to begin development of a plan to set up after-school care facilities within Japan. Our exact plan has not been finalized in any capacity, as we will need to hire additional personnel in order to assist with the formulation of such plans with any level of specificity.

ITEM 3 QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, the Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item.

ITEM 4 CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Management’s Report on Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer (who is acting as our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principle accounting officer) to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As of December 31, 2018, the end of the fiscal period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision of our chief executive officer, with the participation of our chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and the operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. The officers concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this report due to material weaknesses identified below.

The matters involving internal controls and procedures that our management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: domination of management by a limited individuals without adequate compensating controls, lack of a majority of outside directors on board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives, lack of well-established procedures to identify, approve and report related party transactions, and lack of an audit committee. These material weaknesses were identified by our Chief Executive Officer who also serves as our Chief Financial Officer in connection with the above annual evaluation.

Inherent limitations on effectiveness of controls

Internal control over financial reporting has inherent limitations which include but is not limited to the use of independent professionals for advice and guidance, interpretation of existing and/or changing rules and principles, segregation of management duties, scale of organization, and personnel factors. Internal control over financial reporting is a process which involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis, however these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process and it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that have occurred for the three months ending December 31, 2018, that have materially or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
