SINCERITY APPLIED MATERIALS HOLDINGS CORP.

Notes to Consolidated Statements

Sincerity Applied Material Holdings Corp (the “Company’’) is a specialized provider of technologically advanced packing materials for the automotive, packaging, building & construction, and engineering industries, with headquarters located near Melbourne, Australia. The Company’s primary customer is an unrelated entity with global operations that accounts for approximately 80% - 90% of The Company’s revenue, and The Company’s primary suppliers are in China and Malaysia.

The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of Sincerity Applied Material Holdings Corp which is a company domiciled in Australia. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and Regulation S-X published by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on the prior period net income, accumulated deficit, net assets, or total shareholders’ deficit. The Company has evaluated events or transactions through the date of issuance of this report in conjunction with the preparation of these consolidated financial statements. All amounts presented are in US dollars, unless otherwise noted.

The financial statements, except for cash flow information, have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs, modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities. The amounts presented in the financial statements have been rounded to the nearest dollar.

The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes continuity of normal business activities and the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

At March 31,2019, the company had a current asset deficiency of $163,874 and net asset deficiency of $7,842 (December 31, 2018 current asset deficiency of $143,331 and net asset surplus of $5,664). The Company reported an after tax loss of $10,158 for the year (March 31, 2018 after tax loss: $585,157).

Despite the current asset deficiency, the company has prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis that contemplates the continuity of normal business activity, realization of assets and settlement of liabilities at the amounts recorded in the financial statements in the ordinary course of business.

The company believes that there are reasonable grounds to support the fact that it will be able to pay its debts as and when they become due and payable. In forming this opinion, the Group has considered the following factors:

SINCERITY APPLIED MATERIALS HOLDINGS CORP.

Notes to Consolidated Statements

If the Company is unable to continue as a going concern it may be required to realize its assets and extinguish its liabilities other than in the ordinary course of business at amounts different from those stated in the financial statements.

The financial statements do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or to the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company not continue as a going concern.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP’’) 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 reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The functional currency of the Company is its local currency, the Australian dollar (AUD). The financial statements of the Company have been translated into U.S. dollars (USD). All balance sheet accounts, other than those in stockholder’s deficiency, which are translated, based on historical rates accumulated over time, have been translated using the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Income statement amounts have been translated using the average exchange rate in effect for the period ended March 31, 2019. Accumulated net translation adjustments have been reported separately in other comprehensive loss in the financial statements. Foreign currency translation adjustments resulted in a loss of $3,348 for the period ended March 31, 2019; such translation adjustments are not subject to income taxes. Foreign currency transaction losses resulting from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the AUD, the functional currency, totaled $324 for the period ended March 31, 2019, and is included in the accompanying statement of income for the period.

The Company considers all highly liquid short term investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of acquisition to be cash equivalents. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value due to the short term nature of these instruments.

The Company’s financial instruments exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are held in several Australian bank accounts. The Company regularly assesses the level of credit risk we are exposed to and whether there are better ways of managing credit risk. The Company invests its cash and cash equivalents with reputable financial institutions. The Company has not incurred any losses related to these deposits.

SINCERITY APPLIED MATERIALS HOLDINGS CORP.

Notes to Consolidated Statements

The Company carries its accounts receivable at cost less an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company evaluates its accounts receivable on a regular basis and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts, when deemed necessary, based on a history of past write- offs and collections and current credit conditions. A receivable is considered past-due based either on contractual terms or payment history. Accounts are written off as uncollectible after collection efforts have failed. In addition, The Company does not generally charge interest on past-due accounts or require collateral. It is at least reasonably possible that changes may occur in the near term that would affect management’s estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts. At March 31, 2019, management determined that no allowance for doubtful accounts was required.

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Costs of renewal and improvements that substantially extend the useful lives of assets are capitalized. Maintenance and repair costs are expensed when incurred. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally five years.

Derecognition

An item of plant and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no further economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal.

Payables are carried at amortized cost and, due to their short-term nature, they are not discounted. They represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of the financial period that are unpaid and arise when the Company becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and services. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.

Provisions are recognized when the Company has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured. Provisions are measured using the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation at the end of the reporting period.

Leases of fixed assets, where substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to the ownership of the asset – but not the legal ownership – are transferred to entities in the consolidated group, are classified as finance leases.

Finance leases are capitalized by recognizing an asset and a liability at the lower of the amounts equal to the fair value of the leased property or the present value of the minimum lease payments, including any guaranteed residual values. Lease payments are allocated between the reduction of the lease liability and the lease interest expense for the period.

Leased assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the lease term.

Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

SINCERITY APPLIED MATERIALS HOLDINGS CORP.

Notes to Consolidated Statements

All loans and borrowings are initially recognized at cost, being the fair value of the consideration received net of issue costs associated with the borrowing.

After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any issue costs, and any discount or premium on settlement.

The Company recognizes revenue when the goods are delivered at the port of shipment by the supplier, the price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.

Interest revenue is recognized using the effective interest method, which for floating rate financial assets is the rate inherent in the instrument.

All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax.

We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method, under which the current income tax expense or benefit is the amount of income tax expected to be payable or refundable in the current year. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for the estimated future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the year in which the temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

We evaluate the realizability of our deferred tax assets and establish a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of our deferred tax assets will not be realized. In making such a determination, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies, and results of recent operations. If we determine that we would be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, we would make an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.

We account for the uncertainty in income tax components based on tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. To recognize a benefit, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. We do not recognize tax benefits that have a less than 50 percent likelihood of being sustained. Our policy is to recognize interest and tax penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense; no interest or tax penalties on uncertain tax benefits have been recorded through March 31, 2019.

SINCERITY APPLIED MATERIALS HOLDINGS CORP.

Notes to Consolidated Statements

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognized net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).

Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included with other receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.

Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities, which are recoverable from or payable to the ATO, are presented as operating cash flows included in receipts from customers or payments to suppliers.

The Company reviews long-lived assets, including fixed assets, for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be fully recoverable. Impairment is present when the sum of undiscounted estimated future cash flows expected to result from use of the asset is less than carrying value. If impairment is present, the carrying value of the impaired asset is reduced to its fair value. Fair value is determined based on discounted cash flows or appraised values, depending on the nature of the asset. During the period ended March 31, 2019, no impairment losses were recognized for long-lived assets.

The Company recognizes all employee share-based compensation as a cost in the consolidated financial statements. Equity-classified awards principally related to stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance stock units (“PSU”), are measured at the grant date fair value of the award. The Company determines grant date fair value of stock option awards using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair value of restricted stock awards is determined using the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. For service based vesting grants, expense is recognized over the requisite service period based on the number of options or shares expected to ultimately vest. For performance based vesting grants, expense is recognized over the requisite period until the performance obligation is met, assuming that it is probable. No expense is recognized for performance-based grants until it is probable the vesting criteria will be satisfied. Forfeitures are estimated at the date of grant and revised when actual or expected forfeiture activity differs materially from original estimates.

Stock-based payments to non-employees are re-measured at each reporting date and recognized as services are rendered, generally on a straight-line basis. The Company believes that the fair values of these awards are more reliably measurable than the fair values of the services rendered.

Notes to Consolidated Statements

Basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing income or losses available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share is computed similar to basic net income or losses per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all the potential common shares, warrants and stock options had been issued and of the additional common shares were dilutive. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method for the outstanding options and the if-converted method for the outstanding convertible preferred shares. Under the treasury stock method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. Under if –converted method, convertible outstanding instruments are assumed to be converted into common stock at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later).

Comprehensive income (loss) is presented net of applicable income taxes in the accompanying consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) is comprised of revenues, expenses, gains, and losses that under GAAP are reported as separate components of stockholders’ equity instead of net income (loss).

In February 2018, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2018-01;  Leases (Topic 842): Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842 which clarifies  the application of the new leases guidance to land easements and eases adoption efforts for some land easements. This guidance in ASU 2018-01 is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, including interim period within those fiscal years and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. An entity that early adopted Topic 842 should apply the amendments in this Update upon issuance. We do not expect that the adoption will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2018, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2018-02;  Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The amendments in the ASU  addresses the accounting issue pertaining to the deferred tax amounts that are “stranded” in accumulated other comprehensive income as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the Act). We do not expect that the adoption will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. The amendments in this ASU are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect that the adoption will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2018, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2018-03;  Technical Corrections and Improvements to Financial Instruments—Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.  The technical corrections and improvements intended to clarify certain aspects of the guidance on recognizing and measuring financial assets and liabilities in ASU 2016-01. This includes equity securities without a readily determinable fair value, forward contracts and purchased options, presentation requirements for certain fair value option liabilities, fair value option liabilities denominated in foreign currency and transition guidance for equity securities without a readily determinable fair value. The amendments in this ASU are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early application is permitted in any interim period after issuance of the amendments as long as ASU 2016-01 is also adopted. We do not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Notes to Consolidated Statements

In July 2018, FASB issued Update 2018-10—Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases. The amendments in this Update affect the amendments in Update 2016-02, which are not yet effective, but for which early adoption upon issuance is permitted. For entities that early adopted Topic 842, the amendments are effective upon issuance of this Update, and the transition requirements are the same as those in Topic 842. For entities that have not adopted Topic 842, the effective date and transition requirements will be the same as the effective date and transition requirements in Topic 842.

In July 2018, FASB issued Update 2018-11—Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements. The amendments in this Update related to separating components of a contract affect the amendments in Update 2016-02, which are not yet effective but can be early adopted. All entities, including early adopters, that elect the practical expedient related to separating components of a contract in this Update must apply the expedient, by class of underlying asset, to all existing lease transactions that qualify for the expedient at the date elected.

In August 2018, FASB issued Update 2018-13—Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. Early adoption is permitted upon issuance of this Update. An entity is permitted to early adopt any removed or modified disclosures upon issuance of this Update and delay adoption of the additional disclosures until their effective date. Effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. We do not expect that the adoption will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In accordance with “reverse acquisition” accounting treatment, our historical financial statements as of period ends, and for periods ended, prior to the Acquisition will be replaced with the historical financial statements of Sincerity Australia Pty Ltd (“SAPL”), prior to the Acquisition, in all future filings with the SEC. Consequently retroactive adjustments have been made to the equity balances of SAPL to reflect the equity balances of the legal parent company Sincerity Applied Materials Holdings Corp as required under ASC 805 and the application of reverse acquisition accounting.

SINCERITY APPLIED MATERIALS HOLDINGS CORP.

Notes to Consolidated Statements

The Directors evaluate estimates and judgements incorporated into the financial statements based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the Company.

Key Estimates

The Company determines the estimated useful lives and related depreciation and amortization charges for its property and equipment and finite life intangible assets. The useful lives could change significantly as a result of technical innovations or some other event. The depreciation and amortization charge will increase where the useful lives are less than previously estimated lives, or technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold will be written off or written down.

The Company is subject to income taxes in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Significant judgement is required in determining the provision for income tax. There are many transactions and calculations undertaken during the ordinary course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The Company recognizes liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on the Company’s current understanding of the tax law. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the carrying amounts, such differences will impact the current and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.

The calculation of the fair value of shares issued requires significant estimate to be made in regards to several variables. The estimations made are subject to variability that may alter the overall fair value determined.

Convertible notes payable are analyzed at issue date to determine balance sheet classification, issue discounts or premiums, and embedded or derivative features. Embedded or derivative features are evaluated in accordance with accounting guidance for derivative securities and, if the features give rise to separate accounting, we make an election to account for the convertible notes payable at cost or at fair value. If fair value accounting is elected, on the issue date we record the difference between the issue price of the convertible notes payable and the separated embedded derivative where applicable, and their respective fair values, where applicable, as a gain or loss in the consolidated statement of operations. We re-measure the fair value at each reporting date and record again (upon a decrease in fair value) or loss (upon an increase in fair value) for the change in fair value of each separate component being the convertible note payable and the embedded derivative where applicable. Fair value is determined using a black scholes valuation model with; inputs to the model include the market value of the underlying stock, a life equal to the contractual life of the notes, incremental borrowing rates that correspond to debt with similar credit worthiness, estimated volatility based on the historical prices of our trading securities, and we make assumptions as to our abilities to test and commercialize our product(s), to obtain future financings when and if needed, and to comply with the terms and conditions of the notes. Following an analysis of their embedded and derivative features and a projection of the volatility of their effective interest rates under the cost method, we elected to utilize fair value accounting for the convertible notes payable, along with the separated embedded derivatives and we issued on during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017. Management believes the fair value method of accounting provides a more appropriate presentation of these liabilities than would be provided under the cost method.

SINCERITY APPLIED MATERIALS HOLDINGS CORP.

Notes to Consolidated Statements

In accordance with ASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity,” we record the fair value of warrants issued for the purchase of common stock as a liability since the warrants call for issuance of registered shares upon exercise, a condition that we may not be able to accommodate and which would then result in a net settlement of the warrants. Until the time the warrants are exercised or expire, the fair value is assessed at each reporting date utilizing a black scholes valuation model and any change in value is recorded as a gain or loss component of other income (expense) in our consolidated statement of operations. Inputs to the valuation model are of the same nature as those used for our convertible notes payable and any separated embedded derivatives where applicable.

Key Judgements

The provision for impairment of receivables assessment requires a degree of estimation and judgement. The level of provision is assessed by taking into account the recent sales experience, the ageing of receivables, historical collection rates and specific knowledge of the individual debtors’ financial position.

The Company assessed that no indicators of impairment existed at the reporting date and as such no impairment testing was performed.

The consolidated entity operates predominantly in one industry and one geographical segment, those being sales of technical advanced plastics materials in Australia, respectively.

Cash at the end of the financial periods as shown in the statement of cash flows is reconciled to items in the balance sheets as follows:

Deferred expenditure represented deposits paid to supplier for order processing.

The Company has a chattel mortgage outstanding at March 31, 2019 secured by a motor vehicle requiring monthly payments approximating $2,671 (and a final payment approximating $45,933) that includes interest approximating 6.2%, and maturing on August 22, 2022. The components of the balance due under the chattel mortgage at March 31, 2019 are as follows:

Maturities of long-term debt at March 31, 2019 for each of the next five years and in the aggregate, are as follows:

SINCERITY APPLIED MATERIALS HOLDINGS CORP.

Notes to Consolidated Statements

The Company has a total $950,000 (AUD) bank credit line (approximately $674,000 (USD) at March 31, 2019) personally guaranteed by certain Company officers, and secured by real property owned by those officers, available to be used for core business working capital requirements, $800,000 (AUD) of which is designated as the “mortgage loan” portion with the remaining balance of $150,000 (AUD) designated as the “business loan” portion. The mortgage loan portion of the credit line is subject to the bank’s business mortgage index rate (5.94% per annum at March 31, 2019) minus 2.23% per annum for a maximum term of 30 years from the first drawdown date, and the business loan portion of the credit line is subject to the bank’s business mortgage index rate minus 1.08% per annum for a maximum term of 15 years from the first drawdown date. The business loan at March 31, 2019, $106,427 (USD) is drawn and payable on the business loan; no drawings have been made on the mortgage loan as of the balance sheet date. Interest only is due monthly in arrears for the first 3 years from the first drawdown date for draws from the mortgage loan and from the business loan.

Tax effect amounts which are not deductible/(taxable) in calculating taxable income:

On December 22, 2017, new tax reform legislation in the U.S., known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Act”) was signed into law. At March 31, 2019, the Company has not yet completed its accounting assessment for the tax effects of the enactment of the Act; however, as described below, the Company has made a reasonable estimate of the effects on the existing deferred tax balances.

As a result of the lower enacted corporate tax rate, the Company has remeasured certain deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the rates at which they are expected to reverse in the future, which is generally 21%. The provisional amount recorded related to the remeasurement of our tax balance was $476 that is fully offset by accumulated losses from earlier periods.

Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”) was issued to address the application of US GAAP in situations when a registrant does not have the necessary information available, prepared, or analyzed (including computations) in reasonable detail to complete the accounting for certain income tax effects of the Act. In accordance with SAB 118, the Company has provisionally determined that there is no deferred tax benefit or expense with respect to the remeasurement of certain deferred tax assets and liabilities due to the full valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets. The Company is still analyzing certain aspects of the Act and refining its calculations, which could potentially affect the measurement of these balances or potentially give rise to new deferred tax amounts. Additional analysis of the law and the impact to the Company will be performed and any impact will be recorded in the respective quarter in 2019.

There was no capital or leasing expenditure at March 31, 2019.

Notes to Consolidated Statements

SINC through its attorney responded to CKR that has counterclaimed against CKR in a letter dated 19 June 2018 demanding for (i) return of all shares issued or transferred to CKR; (ii) a release from any remaining “liabilities” to CKR; (iii) the return of all legal fees paid by SINC to CKR; and (iv) financial damages resulting from these activities.

The company has received no further correspondence from CKR since their last letter dated 9 July 2018. As these matters are currently in dispute, the company believed that the CKR claims are not valid.

Provisions are not required in respect of these matters, as it is either not probable that a future sacrifice of economic benefits will be required or the amount is not capable of reliable measurement.

Company Overview

Through our wholly owned subsidiary, Sincerity Australia Pty Ltd. (“SAPL”), we primarily operate as a distributor and reseller of applied materials, particularly plastics, with an extensive network in China of high quality suppliers for a wide range of both basic and high application polymer products ranging from generic construction materials to high end breathable stretch film and antibacterial sheeting. SAPL is based in Melbourne, Australia and distributes to a number of larger resellers and end users, including Visy Industries (trading as Pratt Group America in the USA), one of the world’s largest packaging and recycling groups.

SAPL’s business was commenced in 2009 by James Zhang, our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer and the son of the founder of (i) Changzhou Sincerity Plastics and Chemicals Technology Ltd. (“Sincerity China”), a well-established plastics and applied materials manufacturer with a 20-year operating history, based in Changzhou, China, and (ii) Shanghai Sincerity Co. Ltd., a Shanghai, China based company through which most of the products we purchase from Sincerity China are sourced and sold to us. SAPL originally commenced operations by supplying basic extruded plastic components (moldings, auto interior components, kitchen splash backs etc.) to the Australian auto, retail and construction industries. In 2015, SAPL began importing specialty high quality plastic trays and film for use in fresh food packaging and distribution. The first major customer for this business was the Propac Group, leading supplier of plastic packaging materials to Coles, one of Australia’s 2 dominant supermarket chains.

Over the past 3 years, SAPL has refocused its marketing efforts towards larger resellers and distributors in Australia, allowing SAPL to build strong relationships with key industry players who acquire its products for their own distribution and reseller networks. Research and investment in addressing the key fresh food issue of plastic film “breathability” has created a unique technology platform whereby air circulation in packaged foods can be adjusted according to the type of food. This has the effect of prolonging shelf life, key to building relationship metrics within the food retailing industry. SAPL recently started to supply Visy Industries, with high technology, breathable plastic film for use in Visy Industries’ packaging supply contract with the other dominant player in Australia’s supermarket industry.

Presently all of SAPL’s revenue is derived from sales within the Australian market, however, due to the strong international presence of SAPL’s major customers such as Visy, particularly in the US, combined with the technology metrics of SAPL’s product range (breathable stretch film and antibacterial polymer products), it is expected that SAPL’s products will be increasingly utilized in global markets.

SAPL will continue with the process of further vertical integration of its product range. Value adding packaging technology, such as breathable film, and ventilated stretch film, is expected to provide an innovative edge over our competition. Rapid growth in demand from fresh fruit and vegetable packaging is already reflected through increasing sales to Visy Industries and will also allow SAPL to transition these new products to the global market.

SAPL supplies Australian market with a well-diversified product range, while commodity type provides a strong foundation of business grow, the value adding innovations on each product will bring SAPL to the next level and expand for beyond Australia.

SAPL is expanding very fast but still in mid early stage of growing, in short term the proceeds generated out of the business is not sufficient to cover the expense of a full SEC reporting public company, also the fast organic growth business needs more working capital. Therefore, SINC initiated a private placement offering of 3million shares at USD1.5/share to fellow investors, which should be sufficient to cover business growth and following acquisitions. 

Results of Operations

For the Three Months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018

Revenues

Revenue was $234k for the three months ended 31 March, 2019, compared to $476k for the three months ended 31 March, 2019, a decrease of $242k. The decrease can be attributed to timing and quantity of orders by our customers and the type of products they purchase, which can vary in margin.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses was $8k for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to $28k for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The decrease was primarily due to decrease in advertising and once off listing fees paid in 2018.

Employee expenses

No employee expenses were incurred for the 3 months ended March 31, 2019, compared to an expense of $25k for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The decrease can be attributed to the termination of the Chief Financial Officer, Nils Oliquist in the first quarter of 2018.

Professional service fees

Professional service fees were $10k for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to $377k for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The higher professional service fees incurred for the 3 months ended March 31, 2018 was to due payments to consultants and attorney relating to the fund raising and the reverse acquisition.

Other Income and Expenses

Prior to the reverse acquisition that took place on September 19, 2017, other income and expense were relatively immaterial and primarily comprised of employee contribution to fringe benefits, interest income and freight income.

Following our issuance of convertible notes and warrants, the components of other income and expense also include interest expense on the notes and losses related to the changes in fair value of both the notes and warrants. This is due to the recording of the convertible notes at fair value upon issuance, which resulted in a non-recurring loss on issuance because their values exceeded the cash proceeds from issuance. We will remeasure the fair values of the notes and warrants at each future reporting date, and if those fair values change, will record a corresponding gain or loss. Accordingly, we expect other income and expense to fluctuate, and possibly fluctuate by a significant amount, in future periods by the gains or losses on changes in fair value until such time as the notes are either converted into common stock or repaid and the warrants are either exercised or expire. Also, we will accrue and record interest expense on the notes until they are either converted or repaid.

The decrease in other income and expenses was due to all the convertible notes and warrants being repurchased in 2018 and the company no longer needs to remeasure these financial instruments in 2019.

Liquidity and Capital Resources 

As at March 31, 2019, we had a working capital deficit of $59,648 compared with a working capital deficit of $2,160,980 as at December 31, 2017. The improvement in working capital is primarily a result of funds received from private placements and early payment of convertible notes.

Our primary uses of cash have been for operations and payments for cancelation of convertible notes. The main sources of cash have been from issuance of common stock.

The Company believes that cash flow from operations will be sufficient to sustain its current level of operations for at least the next twelve months of operations.

As of March 31, 2019, we had cash and cash equivalent of approximately $11,000, which might not be sufficient to fund our operating and capital needs in the short term. The Company has been seeking funding from various sources as discussed below:

In the three months ended March 31, 2019, the net cash provided by operating activities primarily reflects the loss from operations of approximately $10,000 with approximately $32,000 in changes in operating assets and liabilities, offset by non-cash items of approximately $5,000 and amortization and depreciation of approximately $2,000 that had no effect on cash flows.

Net cash used for investing activities of approximately $25,000 and $Nil relates to advances to related entities for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and three months ended March 31, 2018, respectively.

Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $4,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to net cash generated for financial activities for the three months ended March 31, 2018. In the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company repaid its finance lease liabilities. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company issued convertible notes for approximately $84,000 and issued common stock for approximately $100,000 and these proceeds were used to fund operations and repayments of some borrowings.

Going Concern

At March 31,2019, the company had a current asset deficiency of $163,874 and net asset deficiency of $7,842 (December 31, 2018 current asset deficiency of $143,331 and net asset surplus of $5,664). The Company reported an after tax loss of $10,158 for the year (March 31, 2018 after tax loss: $585,157).

Despite the current asset deficiency, the company has prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis that contemplates the continuity of normal business activity, realization of assets and settlement of liabilities at the amounts recorded in the financial statements in the ordinary course of business.

The company believes that there are reasonable grounds to support the fact that it will be able to pay its debts as and when they become due and payable. In forming this opinion, the Group has considered the following factors:

If the Company is unable to continue as a going concern it may be required to realize its assets and extinguish its liabilities other than in the ordinary course of business at amounts different from those stated in the financial statements.

The financial statements do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or to the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company not continue as a going concern.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements

The Directors evaluate estimates and judgements incorporated into the financial statements based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the Company.

Key Estimates

The Company determines the estimated useful lives and related depreciation and amortization charges for its property and equipment and finite life intangible assets. The useful lives could change significantly as a result of technical innovations or some other event. The depreciation and amortization charge will increase where the useful lives are less than previously estimated lives, or technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold will be written off or written down.

The Company is subject to income taxes in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Significant judgement is required in determining the provision for income tax. There are many transactions and calculations undertaken during the ordinary course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The Company recognizes liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on the Company’s current understanding of the tax law. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the carrying amounts, such differences will impact the current and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.

The calculation of the fair value of shares issued requires significant estimate to be made in regards to several variables. The estimations made are subject to variability that may alter the overall fair value determined.

Convertible notes payable are analyzed at issue date to determine balance sheet classification, issue discounts or premiums, and embedded or derivative features. Embedded or derivative features are evaluated in accordance with accounting guidance for derivative securities and, if the features give rise to separate accounting, we make an election to account for the convertible notes payable at cost or at fair value. If fair value accounting is elected, on the issue date we record the difference between the issue price of the convertible notes payable and the separated embedded derivative where applicable, and their respective fair values, where applicable, as a gain or loss in the consolidated statement of operations. We re-measure the fair value at each reporting date and record again (upon a decrease in fair value) or loss (upon an increase in fair value) for the change in fair value of each separate component being the convertible note payable and the embedded derivative where applicable. Fair value is determined using a black scholes valuation model with; inputs to the model include the market value of the underlying stock, a life equal to the contractual life of the notes, incremental borrowing rates that correspond to debt with similar credit worthiness, estimated volatility based on the historical prices of our trading securities, and we make assumptions as to our abilities to test and commercialize our product(s), to obtain future financings when and if needed, and to comply with the terms and conditions of the notes. Following an analysis of their embedded and derivative features and a projection of the volatility of their effective interest rates under the cost method, we elected to utilize fair value accounting for the convertible notes payable, along with the separated embedded derivatives and we issued on during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017. Management believes the fair value method of accounting provides a more appropriate presentation of these liabilities than would be provided under the cost method.

In accordance with ASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity,” we record the fair value of warrants issued for the purchase of common stock as a liability since the warrants call for issuance of registered shares upon exercise, a condition that we may not be able to accommodate and which would then result in a net settlement of the warrants. Until the time the warrants are exercised or expire, the fair value is assessed at each reporting date utilizing a black scholes valuation model and any change in value is recorded as a gain or loss component of other income (expense) in our consolidated statement of operations. Inputs to the valuation model are of the same nature as those used for our convertible notes payable and any separated embedded derivatives where applicable.

Key Judgements

The provision for impairment of receivables assessment requires a degree of estimation and judgement. The level of provision is assessed by taking into account the recent sales experience, the ageing of receivables, historical collection rates and specific knowledge of the individual debtors’ financial position.

The Company assessed that no indicators of impairment existed at the reporting date and as such no impairment testing was performed.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that material information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or 1934 Act, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. At the end of the quarter ended March 31, 2019, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13(a)-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the 1934 Act. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that as of March 31, 2019 our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to material weaknesses resulting from our internal controls  and procedures including (1) lack of a functioning audit committee, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; (2) lack of an audit committee financial expert (as such term is defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K) on our board of directors; (3) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; and (4) ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes.

Changes in Internal Controls

During the quarter ended March 31, 2019, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

From time to time, we may be a defendant and plaintiff in various legal proceedings arising in the normal course of our business. We are currently not a party to any material legal proceedings or government actions, including any bankruptcy, receivership, or similar proceedings. In addition, we are not aware of any known litigation or liabilities involving the operators of our properties that could affect our operations. Furthermore, as of the date of this Quarterly Report, our management is not aware of any proceedings to which any of our directors, officers, or affiliates, or any associate of any such director, officer, affiliate, or security holder is a party adverse to our company or has a material interest adverse to us except for the following:

We have received demand letters from CKR Law LLP (“CKR”), our former legal counsel, on June 11, 2018 and July 9, 2018. CKR demanded payment of legal fees and reimbursements of legal expenses in an aggregate amount of $294,039.54 plus interest pursuant to engagement letters between us and CKR dated April 5, 2017, September 19, 2017 and October 30, 2017. In additions, CKR claimed that we were in breached of its registration obligations to CKR under the Registration Rights Agreement among us, CKR and Bang Bo Enterprise Management Consulting Co. Ltd. dated September 19, 2017.

We, through our attorney, have responded to CKR in a letter dated June 19, 2018 demanding for (i) return of all shares issued or transferred to CKR; (ii) a release from any remaining “liabilities” to CKR; (iii) the return of all legal fees paid by the company to CKR; and (iv) financial damages resulting from these activities.

The company has received no further correspondence from CKR since their last letter dated July 9, 2018. We believe that the demands by CKR are without merit and will continue to vigorously defend against such claims.

Provisions are not required in respect of these matters, as it is either not probable that a future sacrifice of economic benefits will be required or the amount is not capable of reliable measurement.
