NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2020
NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES
Scientific Energy, Inc., (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Utah on May 30, 2001. Prior to August 2011, the Company was principally devoted to the buying and selling of various types and grades of graphite, such as medium- and high-carbon graphite, high-purity graphite, micro-powder graphite and expandable graphite. In August 2011, the Company decided to engage in a business of e-commerce platform. Currently the Company is in the process of developing a website, which provides an e-commerce platform, where registered members can exchange goods and services.
On March 28, 2006, the Company set up a wholly-owned subsidiary, PDI Global Limited (PDI), which was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands in order to engage in a business of e-commerce platform.
In January 2008, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with China Resources Development Group Ltd., a Hong Kong company. Under the agreement, a joint venture company, Kabond Investments Ltd (the JVC), was established in Hong Kong, and the Company invested $39.6 million Hong Kong dollars (approximately $5.09 million) into the JVC for 72% of the JVCs capital shares, and China Resources Development Group Ltd., jointly with its partner, invested $15.4 million Hong Kong dollars (approximately $1.98 million) into the JVC to receive 28% of the JVCs capital shares. In December 2008, all equity interest of the JVC owned by the Company was sold to a third party for $39.6 million Hong Kong dollars (approximately $5,109,743).
In January 2009, the Company through its wholly-owned subsidiary, PDI, entered into a joint venture agreement with China Resources Development Group Ltd. Under the agreement, the Company agreed to invest $43,040,000 Hong Kong dollars (approximately $5.55 million) into a joint venture company Sinoforte Ltd. in Hong Kong (Sinoforte). The Company got 80% of Sinoforte's capital shares, and China Resources invested $10,222,000 Hong Kong dollars, approximately $1,318,967, and another investor invested $538,000 Hong Kong dollars, or approximately $69,419, into Sinoforte for 19% and 1% of Sinoforte's capital shares, respectively. The main business of Sinoforte was trading mineral products such as graphite produced in China. In June 2009 and September 2009, respectively, China Resources and the other minority investor cancelled their investments in Sinoforte, and the full amount of their original investments was returned. As a result, Sinoforte became a wholly-owned subsidiary of PDI.
On February 28, 2012, the Company set up a wholly-owned subsidiary, Makeliving Ltd., which was incorporated in the Cayman Islands in order to engage in a business of e-commerce platform.
On January 23, 2018, the Company entered into an agreement with Cityhill Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of South Sea Petroleum Holdings Limited, a Hong Kong listed public company, pursuant to which parties agreed to establish a joint venture (the Joint Venture). Each party owns 50% equity interest in the Joint Venture respectively.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying audited consolidated financial statements of the Company are presented in U.S. dollars in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP) and pursuant to the accounting and disclosure rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made that are necessary to present fairly the financial position, and the results of its operations and its cash flows. Operating results as presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year.
The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared using the generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not generated significant revenues since 2011 and is unlikely to generate significant earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations and the attainment of profitable operations. The management will seek to raise funds from shareholders.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements present the financial position and the results of operations of the Company and its 100% owned subsidiaries, Makeliving, Ltd. and PDI. PDI, in turn, is the 100% owner and consolidates Sinoforte Limited.
All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Interim Financial Statements
The following (a) condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019, which has been derived from audited financial statements, and (b) the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2018 included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on May 15, 2020.
The Company recognizes revenue when: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on managements judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectability of those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related revenue is recorded.
The Company defers any revenue for which the product has not been delivered or services have not been rendered or are subject to refund until such time that the Company and the customer jointly determine that the product has been delivered or services have been rendered or no refund will be required.
Revenues on the sale of products, net of estimated costs of returns and allowance, are recognized at the time products are shipped to customers, legal title has passed, and all significant contractual obligations of the Company have been satisfied. Products are generally sold on open accounts under credit terms customary to the geographic region of distribution. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of the customers and generally does not require collateral to secure the accounts receivable.
The Company is exploring web based e-commerce to bring buyers and sellers together recognizing revenue as commissions on closed transactions.
Segment information
ASC 280-10 establishes standards for reporting information regarding operating segments in annual financial statements and requires selected information for those segments to be presented in interim financial reports issued to stockholders. ASC 280-10 also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services and geographic areas. Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in making decisions how to allocate resources and assess performance. All sales and substantial assets of the Company are in China. The Company applies the management approach to the identification of our reportable operating segments as provided in accordance with ASC 280-10. The information disclosed herein materially represents all of the financial information related to the Companys principal operating segment.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Companys financial instruments that are exposed to a concentration of credit risk are cash and accounts receivable. Generally, the Companys cash and cash equivalents in interest-bearing accounts may exceed FDIC insurance limits. The financial stability of these institutions is periodically reviewed by senior management.
As of March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the Company maintained $50,786 and $51,372 in foreign bank accounts not subject to FDIC coverage.
The Company has no significant off-balance-sheet concentrations of credit risk such as foreign exchange contracts, options contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and demand deposits held by banks.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 220-10, Comprehensive Income (ASC 220-10) which establishes standards for the reporting and displaying of comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a business during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owners sources. It includes all changes in equity during a period except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. ASC 220-10 requires other comprehensive income (loss) to include foreign currency translation adjustments.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company translates the foreign currency consolidated financial statements into US Dollars (USD) using the year or reporting period-end or average exchange rates in accordance with the requirements of Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 830-10, Foreign Currency Matters (ASC 830-10). Assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries were translated at exchange rates as of the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates in effect for the periods presented.
The consolidated financial statements were presented in US Dollars except as other specified.
The cumulative translation adjustment is included in the accumulated other comprehensive gain (loss) within stockholders equity (deficit). Foreign currency transaction gains and losses arising from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the consolidated results of operations.
The exchange rates used to translate amounts in HKD into US Dollars for the purposes of preparing the consolidated financial statements were as follows:

The Company evaluates the carrying value of items of property, plant and equipment to be held and used whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The carrying value of an item of property, plant and equipment is considered impaired when the projected undiscounted future cash flows related to the asset are less than its carrying value. The Company measures impairment based on the amount by which the carrying value of the respective asset exceeds its fair value. Fair value is determined primarily using the projected future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved.
Fair Value Measurements
ASC Topic 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. This topic does not require any new fair value measurements. ASC Topic 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, ASC Topic 820 establishes a three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:
|
|
|
|
|
Level 1
|
Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
|
Level 2
|
Other inputs that is directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.
|
|
|
|
Level 3
|
Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.
|
|
|
|
The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Earnings Per Share (EPS) is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common stock shares outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common stock shares outstanding during the year plus potential dilutive instruments such as stock options and warrants.
The effect of stock options on diluted EPS is determined through the application of the treasury stock method, whereby proceeds received by the Company based on assumed exercises are hypothetically used to repurchase the Company's common stock at the average market price during the period. The Company has no stock options, warrants or other potentially dilutive instruments outstanding at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.
Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
The Company entered into a JV agreement with an independent third party, to form a JV company. The joint venture agreement provides the Company with only the rights to the assets and obligation for the liabilities of the joint arrangement resting primarily with the JV. In adopting ASC Topic 323, Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), the Companys investment in joint venture is accounted for using the equity method.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has considered all new accounting pronouncements and has concluded that there are no new pronouncements that may have a material impact on results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows, based on current information.
NOTE 3 GOING CONCERN
As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has generated a net loss of $123,432 and an accumulated deficit of $8,963,004 as of March 31, 2020. The Company also experienced insufficient cash flows from operations and will be required continuous financial support from the shareholders. The Company will need to raise capital to fund its operations until it is able to generate sufficient revenue to support the future development. Moreover, the Company may be continuously raising capital through the sale of debt and equity securities.
The Companys ability to achieve these objectives cannot be determined at this stage. If the Company is unsuccessful in its endeavors, it may be forced to cease operations. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from this uncertainty which may include adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
These factors have raised substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. There can be no assurances that the Company will be able to obtain adequate financing or achieve profitability. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
NOTE 4 PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

NOTE 5 RIGHT TO USE ASSETS AND LEASE LIABILITY
Effective June 1, 2018, the Company entered into a two year lease for approximately 250 square feet in New York City, New York, expiring May 31, 2020 with monthly payments of $2,800 per month. In addition, the Company entered into a two year lease for office space of approximately 770 square feet in Hong Kong, expiring January 10, 2020, with monthly payments of approximately $4,371 per month. The Company has an option to extend the leases for an additional (option) terms.
In adopting ASC Topic 842, Leases (Topic 842), the Company has elected the package of practical expedients, which permit it not to reassess under the new standard its prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. The Company did not elect the use-of-hindsight or the practical expedient pertaining to land easements; the latter is not applicable to the Company. In addition, the Company elected not to apply ASC Topic 842 to arrangements with lease terms of 12 month or less. In determining the length of the lease term to its long term lease, the Company determined it did not have an option to extend either lease. At lease commencement dates, the Company estimated the lease liability and the right of use assets at present value using the Companys estimated incremental borrowing rate of 8% and determined the initial present value, at inception, of $159,616. On January 1, 2019, upon adoption of ASC Topic 842, the Company recorded right to use assets (net) of $95,111 and lease liability of $95,111.
