CAUTIONARY NOTE ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This annual report on Form 10-K (the “Report”) contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which are intended to be covered by the safe harbors created by those laws. We have based our forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events. Our forward-looking statements include information about possible or assumed future results of operations. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included or incorporated by reference in this Report that address activities, events or developments that we expect or anticipate may occur in the future, including such things as the growth of our business and operations, our business strategy, competitive strengths, goals, plans, future capital expenditures and references to future successes may be considered forward-looking statements. Also, when we use words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “probably,” or similar expressions, we are making forward-looking statements.

 

Numerous risks and uncertainties may impact the matters addressed by our forward-looking statements, any of which could negatively and materially affect our future financial results and performance.

 

Although we believe that the assumptions underlying our forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of these assumptions, and, therefore, the forward-looking statements based on these assumptions, could themselves prove to be inaccurate. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements that are included in this Report, our inclusion of this information is not a representation by us or any other person that our objectives and plans will be achieved. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, any forward-looking event discussed in this Report may not occur. Our forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made, and we undertake no obligation to update or review any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or other developments, unless the securities laws require us to do so.

 

You should read this Form 10-K and the documents that we have filed as exhibits to this Form 10-K completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. We do not assume any obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

 

Unless otherwise stated or the context otherwise requires, the terms “Yong Bai Chao,” “YBCN,” “we,” “us,” “our,” the “Registrant” and the “Company” refer collectively to Yong Bai Chao New Retail Corporation.

PART I 

 

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

 

Overview

 

Yong Bai Chao New Retail Corporation (“we”, “us”, or the “Company”) (formerly knowns as Boss Minerals, Inc. and Environmental Control Corp., respectively) is not a Chinese operating company but a Nevada company currently with no meaningful operations or subsidiaries nor has entered into any contractual arrangements with a variable interest entity (“VIE”) based in China.

  

Our shares of common stock quoted on the OTC Markets are shares of Yong Bai Chao New Retail Corp., the Nevada company. There is a risk that the Chinese government may in the future seek to affect operations of any company with any level of operations in PRC, including its ability to offer securities to investors, list its securities on a U.S. or other foreign exchange, conduct its business or accept foreign investment. Substantial uncertainties and restrictions with respect to the political and economic policies of the PRC government and PRC laws and regulations could have a significant impact upon the business that we may be able to conduct in the PRC and accordingly on the results of our operations and financial condition. If the Chinese regulatory authorities disallowed the VIE structure or any or all of the foregoing were to occur, it could, in turn, result in a material change in our future operations and/or the value of our common stock and/or significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of our securities to significantly decline or be worthless.

 

History

 

Yong Bai Chao New Retail Corporation (“we”, “us”, or the “Company”) (formerly knowns as Boss Minerals, Inc. and Environmental Control Corp., respectively) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on February 17, 2004 under the name Boss Minerals, Inc. to pursue the exploration and development of mining claims located in British Columbia, Canada.

 

During the quarter ended June 30, 2004, the Company filed a registration statement on Form SB-2 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to register shares of common stock for public resale by certain stockholders identified in the registration statement. Upon the effective date of the registration statement, the Company became subject to the reporting requirements of Section 12(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and commenced filing reports under the Exchange Act through the quarter ended June 30, 2012.

 

In March 2006, the Company acquired the assets of Environmental Control Corporation, which developed vehicle emission control devices and filed a certificate of amendment to its articles of incorporation in April 2013 to change its name to Environmental Control Corp. The Company filed reports under the Exchange Act through the quarter ended June 30, 2012.

 

On May 2, 2016, the Eight Judicial District Court of Nevada entered an order appointing Bryan Glass as custodian of the Company, authorizing and directing him to, among other things, take any action reasonable, prudent and for the benefit of the Company, including reinstating the Company under Nevada law, appointing officers and convening an annual meeting of stockholders (the “Order”). Mr. Glass was a shareholder of the Company on the date that he applied to serve as a custodian of the Company. From time to time, Mr. Glass submits applications to the courts of the state of Nevada to be appointed as the custodian of corporations in which he already is a shareholder that have forfeited their right to exist as a corporation for reasons such as failure to file annual reports or to pay required fees, and such applications may or may not be successful. If the court approves the application, Mr. Glass is appointed to serve as the custodian of such corporations. In the past, he either has contributed assets or sold them to third parties. Thereafter, the board of directors and Mr. Glass, in his role as custodian, appointed himself to serve as the President of the Company.

 

On May 5, 2016, the Company filed a Certificate of Reinstatement with the state of Nevada to reestablish the Company’s existence.

On May 9, 2016, the board of directors and Bryan Glass, in the exercise of his power as the court-appointed custodian of the Company, appointed Bryan Glass as our President, Secretary and Treasurer and authorized the issuance of 60,000,000 shares of stock to Mr. Glass for an aggregate price of $60,000, which sum was paid by the performance of services to the Company and the reimbursement of expenses incurred by Mr. Glass on the Company’s behalf in the amount of $6,685. The expenses incurred by Mr. Glass included $5,160 to the state of Nevada for fees in connection with reinstating the Company and other filings to bring the Company current under the requirements of Nevada corporate law; $1,250 to the transfer agent for outstanding fees; and $275 to the state of Nevada as a filing fee in connection with the amendment to the articles of incorporation.

 

On June 15, 2016, the Company held a stockholders meeting at which the stockholders adopted Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Company under which the Company increased the total number of shares it is authorized to issue to 190 million shares consisting of 180 million shares of common stock and 10 million shares of blank check preferred stock.

 

In December 2018, Mr. Glass sold 60 million shares of common stock, representing all of the shares he owned in the Company, and equal to 56.83% of the total number of outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, to Lili Xin for the sum of $90,000. Ms. Chang became acquainted with Mr. Glass through a mutual associate and they subsequently negotiated a deal for his control bloc of shares in the Company. Concurrent with the sale of his shares, the board of directors appointed Ms. Chang as the President and as a director of the Company and resigned from all positions he held with the Company.

 

On May 22, 2019, the Company filed a Form 15 with the SEC terminating the registration of its class of common stock under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act and its duty to file periodic and other reports with the SEC.

  

In December 12, 2019, the Company filed a registration statement on Form 10 to register its class of common stock under the Exchange Act, and the registration statement automatically was effective in February 2020.

 

On October 29, 2020, Chang Qi voluntarily resigned as a director and officer of the Company for personal reasons. She did not resign because of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices, or if a director has been removed for cause from the board of directors, disclose the following information.

 

Prior to her departure as a director and officer of the Company, on October 29, 2020, Ms. Chang appointed Lili Xin to serve as the sole director and as the president of the Company.

 

On June 29, 2021, Lili Xin, our former Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, director and principal stockholder of the Company (“Ms. Xin”), and Wang Fei (“Mr. Wang”), entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which Ms. Xin agreed to sell to Mr. Wang 80,000,000 shares of Common Stock registered in her name (the “Shares”), representing 59% of the outstanding shares of common stock in the Company, at a purchase price of Three Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($350,000). The seller relied on the exemption from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of, and Regulation D and/or Regulation S promulgated under the Act in selling the Company’s securities to Mr. Wang. The funds came from the personal funds of Mr. Wang, and was not the result of a loan. The closing occurred August 10, 2021.

 

In connection with such sale, Lili Xin, our then current CEO, President and CFO resigned from her positions as the sole director and executive officer of the Company. Concurrently therewith, Mr. Wang appointed to serve as the sole executive officer and director of the Company.

 

Effective October 28, 2021, the Company’s name was changed to Yong Bai Chao New Retail Corporation.

 

On May 11, 2023, the Company’s board of directors approved the amendment to and adopting of the amended and restated articles of incorporation (the “Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation”), to affect a 1-for-20 reverse stock split of the Company’s outstanding common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”). As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, each 20 shares of common stock (the “Old Shares”) will become and be consolidated into one share of common stock (the “New Shares”), with stockholders who would receive a fractional share to receive a whole number of one share. Accordingly, the number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding will decrease from 189,120,068 to approximately 9,456,004. Since additional fractional shares may be issued in order to round up fractional shares, we currently do not know the exact number of New Shares that will be outstanding after the Reverse Stock Split. The Reverse Stock Split will become effective upon the filing of the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada. The Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation have not been filed with the Secretary of the State of Nevada.

Current Operations and Strategy

 

As of the date of this report, we have no current operations. Management has determined to direct our efforts and limited resources to pursue potential new business opportunities through a combination with an operating or development stage company, an acquisition of assets or other business transaction. We do not intend to limit ourselves to a particular industry and we have not established any particular criteria upon which we shall consider and proceed with a business opportunity.

 

Our management has broad discretion with respect to identifying and selecting a prospective business opportunity. We have not established any specific attributes or criteria (financial or otherwise) for a business opportunity and we may enter into a business combination with a development stage company, a distressed company or a foreign company engaged in any industry or we may purchase raw assets. Our management has never served in any capacity as management of a development stage public company that has consummated a business transaction such as that contemplated by us. Accordingly, our management may not successfully identify a prospective business opportunity or conclude a business transaction. In addition, our management engages in other business activities and is not obligated to devote any specific number of hours to our matters. Management intends to devote only as much time as it deems necessary to our affairs.

 

We anticipate that the selection of an appropriate business opportunity will be complex and extremely risky, and we cannot assure you that we will be successful in concluding a transaction or if we do, that we will be successful thereafter. Our lack of financial and personnel resources may negatively impact our ability to consummate an attractive transaction or cause us to discontinue operations before we enter such a transaction.

 

We cannot assure you that we will be successful in concluding a business transaction. We will not realize any revenues or generate any income unless and until we successfully merge with or acquire an operating business that is generating revenues and otherwise is operating profitably. Moreover, we can offer no guarantee that we will achieve long-term or immediate short-term earnings from any business transaction.

 

Any entity with which we enter into a business transaction will be subject to numerous risks in connection with its operations. To the extent we affect a business transaction with a financially unstable company or an entity in its early stage of development or growth, including entities without established records of sales or earnings, we may be affected by numerous risks inherent in the business and operations of such companies. If we consummate a business transaction with a foreign entity, we will be subject to all of the risks attendant to foreign operations. Although our management will endeavor to evaluate the risks inherent in a particular opportunity, we cannot assure you that we will properly ascertain or assess all significant risk factors.

Table of Contents

 

Our management anticipates that our Company likely will affect only one business transaction, due primarily to our limited financial resources and the dilution of interest for present and prospective stockholders, which is likely to occur as a result of our management’s plan to offer a controlling interest to a target in order to achieve a tax-free reorganization. This lack of diversification should be considered a substantial risk in investing in us because it will not permit us to offset potential losses from one venture against potential gains from another.

 

Ramifications of Our Status as a Blank Check Company and Shell Company

 

At present, we have no revenues, no assets and no specific business plan or purpose. Our business plan is to seek new business opportunities by entering into a business transaction. Based upon these conditions, under the Exchange Act, we are deemed to be “blank check” company and a “shell company.” Our status as a blank check company and a shell company will impact our Company and stockholders in many ways, some of which are described below.

 

Blank Check Company Status and Securities Offerings

 

As a blank check company, any offerings of our securities under the Securities Act must comply with Rule 419 promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act. Rule 419 requires that a blank check company filing a registration statement deposit the securities being offered and proceeds of the offering into an escrow or trust account pending the execution of an agreement for an acquisition or merger. In addition, an issuer is required to file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement upon the execution of an agreement for such acquisition or merger. The rule provides procedures for the release of the offering funds in conjunction with the post effective acquisition or merger. The obligations to file post-effective amendments are in addition to the obligations to file Forms 8-K to report for both the entry into a material definitive (non-ordinary course of business) agreement and the completion of the transaction. Rule 419 applies to both primary and re-sale or secondary offerings. Within five (5) days of filing a post-effective amendment setting forth the proposed terms of an acquisition, the Company must notify each investor whose shares are in escrow. Each investor then has no fewer than 20 and no greater than 45 business days to notify the Company in writing if they elect to remain an investor. A failure to reply indicates that the person has elected to not remain an investor. As all investors are allotted this second opportunity to determine to remain an investor, acquisition agreements should be conditioned upon enough funds remaining in escrow to close the transaction.

  

Shell Company Status

 

We are a shell company as defined in Rule 405 promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act. A shell company is one that has no or nominal operations and either: (i) no or nominal assets; or (ii) assets consisting primarily of cash or cash equivalents. As a shell company, we are subject to various laws, regulations and restrictions, including that we will be subject to restrictions on our use of Form S-8 to register stock that we may issue to our employees and consultants and you will be subject to restrictions from relying on Rule 144 for the resale of your common stock, as described below.

 

Shell companies are prohibited from using Form S-8 to register securities under the Securities Act. If a company ceases to be a shell company, it may use Form S-8 sixty calendar days after the date on which it makes required filings with the SEC disclosing the cessation of its status as shell company, provided it has filed all reports and other materials required to be filed under the Exchange Act during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter period that it has been required to file such reports and materials after the company files “Form 10 information,” which is information that a company would be required to file in a registration statement on Form 10 if it were registering a class of securities under Section 12 of the Exchange Act. This information would normally be reported on a current report on Form 8-K reporting the completion of a transaction that caused the company to cease being a Shell Company.

Table of Contents

 

Rule 144 under the Act provides an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and allows the holders of restricted securities to sell their securities utilizing one of the provisions of this Rule. However, Rule 144 specifically precludes reliance by holders of securities of shell companies such as ours or any issuer that has been at any time previously a shell company, except if the following conditions are met:

 

 

·

The issuer of the securities that was formerly a shell company has ceased to be a shell company;

 

·

The issuer of the securities is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act;

 

·

The issuer of the securities has filed all Exchange Act reports and material required to be filed, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than current reports on Form 8-K; and

 

·

At least one year has elapsed from the time that the issuer filed current comprehensive disclosure with the SEC reflecting its status as an entity that is not a shell company.

 

As a result of our classification as a shell company, our investors are not permitted to rely on the “safe harbor” provisions of Rule 144, promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act, so as not to be considered underwriters in connection with the sale of our securities until one year from the date that we cease to be a shell company. This will likely make it more difficult for us to attract additional capital through subsequent unregistered offerings because purchasers of securities in such unregistered offerings will not be able to resell their securities in reliance on Rule 144, a safe harbor on which holders of restricted securities usually rely to resell securities.

 

Application of Penny Stock Rules

 

Our common stock is a “penny stock,” as defined in Rule 3a51-1 promulgated by the SEC under the Exchange Act. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, among other things, prior to a transaction in penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. A broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its sales person in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. In addition, the penny stock rules require that the broker-dealer, not otherwise exempt from such rules, must make a special written determination that the penny stock is suitable for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure rules have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for a stock that becomes subject to the penny stock rules. So long as our common stock is subject to the penny stock rules, it may be more difficult for us and you to sell your common stock.

  

Entering into a Business Transaction

 

General.

 

A business transaction may involve the acquisition of, or merger with, an operating or development stage company or the acquisition of assets that we will develop into an operating company.

 

Our management has not developed a specific plan or process for identifying a business opportunity. Our business is predicated upon relationships built by management and the ongoing effort to develop new contacts through which our management may be introduced to prospective business opportunities. Moreover, given the wide-ranging variables inherent in our business, management cannot predict when we will effectuate a business transaction, if ever, or the amount of capital we will require for such purpose.

 

Search for a target.

 

At such time as we affect a business transaction, if ever, we will be impacted by numerous risks inherent in the business and operations in connection with such business. The risks attendant to such business opportunity may include risks typical of a financially unstable company or an entity in its early stage of development or growth, including entities without established records of sales or earnings. Although our management will endeavor to evaluate the risks inherent in a particular target, we cannot assure you that we will properly ascertain or assess all significant risk factors.

Table of Contents

 

Sources of business opportunities.

 

We intend to source our target opportunities from various internal and external sources. Business opportunities may be brought to our attention from affiliated and unaffiliated sources. Our management may call upon personal contacts and relationships she and her affiliates have developed and maintain with various professionals, including accountants, consultants, bankers, attorneys and other advisors. In addition, management may initiate formal or informal inquiries or attend trade shows or conventions. In no event will any of our affiliates be paid any finder’s fee, consulting fee or other compensation prior to or for any services they render in connection with the consummation of a business transaction.

 

Business opportunities may be brought to our attention by unaffiliated sources as a result of being solicited by us through calls or mailings. These sources may also introduce us to business opportunities in which they believe we may have an interest. We may retain the services of agents or other representatives to identify or locate suitable targets on our behalf, though, to date, we have not engaged any such persons. We have not adopted any policy with respect to utilizing the services of consultants or advisors to assist in the identification of a business opportunity, the criteria to be used in selecting such consultants or advisors, the services to be provided, the term of service or the amount of fees we may pay to them. In the event that we retain the services of professional firms or other individuals that specialize in business acquisitions, we may pay a finder’s fee, consulting fee or other compensation to be determined in an arm’s length negotiation.

 

Selection criteria for a business opportunity.

 

Our management has virtually unrestricted flexibility in identifying and selecting a prospective target. We have not established any specific attributes or criteria (financial or otherwise) for prospective business opportunities. In evaluating a prospective business opportunity, our management will consider, among other factors, the following:

 

 

·

financial condition and results of operation;

 

·

growth potential;

 

·

experience and skill of management and availability of additional personnel;

 

·

capital requirements;

 

·

competitive position;

 

·

barriers to entry in the industry;

 

·

stage of development of the products, processes or services;

 

·

degree of current or potential market acceptance of the products, processes or services;

 

·

proprietary features and degree of intellectual property or other protection of the products, processes or services;

 

·

regulatory environment within the industry; and

 

·

the costs associated with affecting the business transaction with a particular business opportunity.

  

These criteria are not intended to be exhaustive or to in any way limit the board of director’s unrestricted discretion to enter into a business transaction for any business opportunity. Any evaluation relating to the merits of a particular business transaction will be based, to the extent relevant, on the above factors as well as other considerations deemed relevant by our management.

 

We will not target a business if audited financial statements based on United States generally accepted accounting principles or International Financial Reporting Standards cannot be prepared for the target business. The Company cannot assure you that any particular target business identified by the Company as a potential acquisition candidate will have financial statements prepared in accordance with such accounting standards or that the potential target business will be able to prepare its financial statements in accordance with such standards. To the extent that this requirement cannot be met, the Company may not be able to acquire the proposed target business. While this may limit the pool of potential acquisition candidates, the Company does not believe that this limitation will be material.

 

Our shares of common stock are currently quoted on the OTC Markets and may be prohibited from trading on a national exchange or “over-the-counter” markets under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (the “HFCAA”) if the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) determines that it is unable to inspect or fully investigate our auditor and as a result the exchange or OTC Markets where our securities are traded or quoted may delist our securities. Furthermore, on June 22, 2021, the U.S. Senate passed the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (the “AHFCAA”), which became effective in December 2022, amending the HFCAA and requiring the SEC to prohibit an issuer’s securities from trading on any U.S. stock exchange if its auditor is not subject to PCAOB inspections for two consecutive years instead of three consecutive years. Pursuant to the HFCAA, the PCAOB issued a Determination Report on December 16, 2021, which found that the PCAOB was unable to inspect or investigate completely certain named registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong. Our independent registered public accounting firm is headquartered in the State of California and has been inspected by the PCAOB on a regular basis and as such, it is not affected by or subject to the PCAOB’s Determination Report. On August 26, 2022, the SEC issued a statement announcing that the PCAOB signed a Statement of Protocol with the CSRC and the Ministry of Finance of the People’s Republic of China governing inspections and investigations of audit firms based in China and Hong Kong, jointly agreeing on the need for a framework. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the future, if there is any regulatory change or step taken by PRC regulators that does not permit our auditor to provide audit documentations located in China to the PCAOB for inspection or investigation, you may be deprived of the benefits of such inspection which could result in limitation or restriction to our access to the U.S. capital markets and trading of our securities, including trading on the national exchange and trading on “over-the-counter” markets, may be prohibited under the HFCAA.

Recent Regulatory Development in China

 

As a Nevada company with minimum operations and without any subsidiary, we are not required to obtain any permission or approval from any Chinese authority to operate the Company and to offer the securities to non-Chinese investors. If we consummate the business combination with a China-based company operating primarily in China,  we will be subject to the legal and operational risks associated with having substantially all of our operations in China, including risks related to the legal, political and economic policies of the Chinese government, the relations between China and the United States, and changes in Chinese laws and regulations, which could result in a material change in our operations and/or cause the value of our common shares to significantly decline or become worthless and affect our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors. The enforcement of laws and rules and regulations in China can change quickly with little advance notice and Chinese government may intervene or influence our future China-based operations at any time. The Chinese government may exert substantial influence over the manner in which we must conduct our business activities. We are currently not required to obtain any approval or permit from Chinese authorities to list on U.S exchanges or get quoted on the OTC Markets, however, if we were required to obtain such approval in the future and were denied permission from Chinese authorities to list on a U.S. exchange or get quoted on the OTC Markets, we would not be able to continue being quoted on the OTC Markets or obtain listing on a U.S. exchange and the value of our common shares may significantly decline or become worthless, which would materially affect the interest of the investors. Although our management will endeavor to evaluate the risks inherent in a particular opportunity, we cannot assure you that we will properly ascertain or assess all significant risk factors.

  

If, upon consummation of the acquisition of an operating company, we conduct a majority of our operations through  an operating entity established in the PRC, which has entered into the VIE agreements with us or any of our subsidiaries, you will not hold equity interest in the Chinese operating entities and your investment in us will face risks associated with such VIE contractual arrangements. The VIE Agreements or the contractual structure is used to provide non-Chinese investors with exposure to foreign investment in China-based companies where Chinese laws impose certain restrictions on foreign ownership over such companies of certain categories. The VIE Agreements are not equivalent to an equity ownership in the PRC operating entities and the investors may never hold equity interests in such PRC operating entities unless the VIE Agreements are replaced with the direct ownership of such PRC operating companies. The VIE Agreements or such corporate structure have not been tested in court in the PRC. If we are involved with the VIE agreements after the completion of the acquisition of any  China-based company, the changes of interpretation or determination of the VIE agreements under the PRC laws and regulations may result in our inability to assert contractual control over the assets in the PRC, which may constitute substantially all of our future operations.

 

Our shares of common stock are shares of Yong Bai Chao New Retail Corp, the Nevada company that may, after the business combination with a Chinese operating company. As an investor of our common stock, you may never directly hold equity interests in  the Chinese operating company if the VIE structure is implemented. There is a risk that the Chinese government may in the future seek to affect operations of any company with any level of operations in the PRC, including its ability to offer securities to foreign investors, list its securities on a U.S. or other foreign exchange, conduct its business or accept foreign investment. Substantial uncertainties and restrictions with respect to the political and economic policies of the PRC government and PRC laws and regulations could have a significant impact upon the business that we may be able to conduct in the PRC and accordingly on the results of our operations and financial condition. If the Chinese regulatory authorities disallowed the VIE structure or any or all of the foregoing were to occur, after the business combination with a Chinese operating company, it could, in turn, result in a material change in the Company’s operations and/or the value of its common stock and/or significantly limit or completely hinder its ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or become worthless.

Recently, the PRC government initiated a series of regulatory actions and made a number of public statements on the regulation of business operations in China with little advance notice, including cracking down on illegal activities in the securities market, enhancing supervision over China-based companies listed overseas, adopting new measures to extend the scope of cybersecurity reviews, and expanding efforts in anti-monopoly enforcement. On December 28, 2021, thirteen governmental departments of the PRC, including the Cyberspace Administration of China (the “CAC”), issued the Cybersecurity Review Measures, which became effective on February 15, 2022. The Cybersecurity Review Measures provide that an online platform operator, which possesses personal information of at least one million users, must apply for a cybersecurity review by the CAC if it intends to be listed in foreign countries. Because we are currently a shell company and have not consummated the business combination with any Chinese operating companies, we do not possess personal information from more than one million users at this moment, and thus we are currently not subject to the cybersecurity review by the CAC. In addition, as of the date of this report, we were not involved in any investigations on cybersecurity review initiated by any PRC regulatory authority, nor did we receive any inquiry, notice, or sanction related to cybersecurity review under the Cybersecurity Review Measures. As of the date of this report, no relevant laws or regulations in the PRC explicitly required us to seek approval from the China Securities Regulatory Commission (the “CSRC”) or any other PRC governmental authorities for our overseas listing or quotation, nor did we receive any inquiry, notice, warning or sanctions regarding our overseas trading of our securities from the CSRC or any other PRC governmental authorities. Also, as of the date of this report, we were not in a monopolistic position.

 

In summary, the recent statements and regulatory actions by the Chinese government related to the use of variable interest entities and data security or antimonopoly concerns have not affected our ability to proceed with the acquisition of  a Chinese operating company or seek and identify a new potential acquisition target nor have affected our ability to continue to be quoted on the OTC Markets. However, since these statements and regulatory actions by the PRC government are newly published and official guidance and related implementation rules have not been issued, it is highly uncertain what the potential impact such modified or new laws and regulations will have on target companies, the ability to accept foreign investments and our ability to continue to trade our common stock in the U.S. after we consummate a business combination with a company with all or substantially all of its operations in the PRC. The Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress (the “SCNPC”) or other PRC regulatory authorities may in the future promulgate laws, regulations or implementing rules that would require us or any of our future affiliated entities to obtain regulatory approval from Chinese authorities in order to continue trading in the U.S.

 

Due Diligence Investigation.

 

In evaluating a prospective business opportunity, we will conduct as extensive a due diligence review of potential targets as reasonably possible. Our review will be constrained by our limited capital resources, lack of full-time employees and management’s inexperience in such endeavors. We may enter into a business transaction with a privately held company in its early stages of development or that has only a limited operating history on which we could base our decision. Since little public information typically is available about these companies, we will be required to rely on the ability of management to obtain adequate information to evaluate the potential risks and returns from entering into a business transaction with such a company. We expect that our due diligence may include, among other things, meetings with the target business’s incumbent management, an inspection of its facilities and a review of financial and other information made available to us. This due diligence review will be conducted by our management, possibly with the assistance of our counsel, accountants or other third parties.

 

Our financial and personnel limitations may render it impractical for us to conduct an exhaustive investigation and analysis of a target candidate before we consummate a business transaction. Management’s decisions, therefore, will likely be made without detailed feasibility studies, independent analyses and market surveys or other methodologies which, if we had more funds available to us, would be desirable. We will be particularly dependent in making decisions upon information provided by the principals, promoters, sponsors or others associated with the business opportunity seeking our participation.

We expect to utilize our capital stock, debt or a combination of capital stock and debt, in effecting a business transaction. It may be expected that entering into a business transaction will involve the issuance of restricted shares of capital stock. The issuance of additional shares of our capital stock:

 

 

·

may reduce the equity interest of our existing stockholders;

 

·

may cause a change in control if a substantial number of our shares of capital stock are issued, and most likely will also result in the resignation or removal of our present officer and director; and

 

·

may adversely affect the prevailing market price for our common stock.

  

Similarly, if we issued debt securities, it could result in:

 

 

·

default and foreclosure on our assets if our operating revenues after a business combination were insufficient to pay our debt obligations;

 

·

acceleration of our obligations to repay the indebtedness even if we have made all principal and interest payments when due if the debt security contained covenants that required the maintenance of certain financial ratios or reserves and any such covenants were breached without a waiver or renegotiations of such covenants;

 

·

our inability to obtain additional financing, if necessary, if the debt security contained covenants restricting our ability to obtain additional financing while such security was outstanding.

 

Upon the consummation of a business combination, the Company will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a current report on Form 8-K to disclose the business transaction, the terms of the transaction and a description of the business and management of the target business, among other things, and will include audited consolidated financial statements of the Company giving effect to the business combination. Holders of the Company’s securities will be able to access the Form 8-K and other filings made by the Company on the EDGAR Company Search page of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Web site, the address for which is www.sec.gov. The public may read and copy any materials the Company files with the SEC at the SEC’s Public Reference Room at Room 1518, 100 F. Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549. The public may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330.

 

Lack of diversification.

 

We expect that we will be able to consummate a business transaction with only one candidate given that, among other considerations, we will not have the resources to diversify our operations. Moreover, given that we likely will offer a controlling interest in our Company to the persons with which we enter into business transaction in order to achieve a tax-free reorganization, the dilution of interest to present and prospective stockholders will render more than one business transaction unlikely. Therefore, at least initially, the prospects for our success may be entirely dependent upon the future performance of a single business and we will not benefit from the possible diversification of risks or offsetting of losses that business transactions with multiple operating entities would offer. By consummating a business transaction with a single entity, our lack of diversification may result in our dependency upon the development or market acceptance of a single or limited number of products, processes or services and subject us to numerous economic, competitive and regulatory developments, any or all of which may have a substantial adverse impact upon the particular industry in which we may operate subsequent to a business transaction.

 

Competition

 

We expect that in the course of identifying, evaluating and selecting a target for a business transaction, we may encounter intense competition from other entities having a business objective similar to ours. These include:

 

 

·

blank check companies that have raised significant capital through sales of securities registered under federal securities laws that have a business plan similar to ours;

 

·

venture capital firms and leveraged buyout firms; and

 

·

operating businesses looking to expand their operations through acquisitions.

Table of Contents

 

Many of these entities are well established, possess significant capital, may be able to offer securities for which a trading market exists and have extensive experience identifying and affecting these types of business transactions directly or through affiliates. Moreover, nearly all of these competitors possess greater technical, personnel and other resources than us. In addition, we will experience competition from other modestly capitalized shell companies that are seeking to enter into business transactions with targets similar to those we expect to pursue.

 

If we succeed in closing a business transaction, there will be, in all likelihood, intense competition from competitors within the industry in which we will operate. We cannot currently apprise you of these risks nor can we assure you that, subsequent to a business transaction, we will have the resources or ability to compete effectively.

 

 Smaller Reporting Company Status

 

We qualify as a “smaller reporting company” under Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, which is defined as a company with a public equity float of less than $250 million or it has less than $100 million in annual revenues and no public float or public float of less than $700 million. To the extent that we remain a smaller reporting company, we will have reduced disclosure requirements for our public filings, including: (1) less extensive narrative disclosure than required of other reporting companies, particularly in the description of executive compensation and (2) the requirement to provide only two years of audited financial statements, instead of three years. In addition, until such time as the public float of our common stock exceeds $75 million, we will be a non-accelerated filer and will not be required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes Oxley Act.

 

Employees

 

We have  one executive officer who has other business interests and who is not obligated to devote any specific number of hours to our matters. He intends to devote only as much time as he deems necessary to our affairs, which may hinder our ability to enter into a business transaction. These circumstances represent a potential conflict of interest between our officer / director and the Company. The amount of time our officer will devote to our affairs in any time period will vary based on whether a business opportunity has been selected for the business transaction and the stage of the business transaction process the Company is in. Accordingly, if and when management identifies suitable business opportunities, we expect that our management will spend more time investigating such business opportunity and will devote additional time and effort negotiating and processing the business transaction as developments warrant.

 

We do not intend to have any full-time employees prior to the consummation of a business transaction.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

 

As a smaller reporting company, as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K, the Company has elected to comply with certain scaled disclosure reporting obligations, and therefore does not have to provide the information required by this item.

The Company does not own or lease any properties at this time and does not anticipate owning or leasing any properties prior to the consummation of a business transaction, if ever.

 

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

We are not presently a party to any material litigation, nor to the knowledge of management is any litigation threatened against us that may materially affect us.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Statements, other than historical facts, contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including statements of potential acquisitions and our strategies, plans and objectives, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Although we believe that our forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, we caution that such statements are subject to a wide range of risks, trends and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Among those risks, trends and uncertainties are important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward looking statements, including, but not limited to; the time management devotes to identifying a target business; management’s ability to consummate a business combination; the financial condition of the target company with which we may enter a business combination; the effect of existing and future laws; governmental regulations; political and economic conditions; and conditions in the capital markets. We undertake no duty to update or revise these forward-looking statements.

 

When used in this Form 10-K, the words, “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “seek,” “estimate” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. Because these forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements for a number of important reasons.

 

Overview

 

Yong Bai Chao New Retail Corporation f/k/a Environmental Control Corp. (“we,” “us,” the “Company” or like terms) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on February 17, 2004 under the name Boss Minerals, Inc. to pursue the exploration and development of mining claims located in British Columbia, Canada.

 

During the quarter ended June 30, 2004, the Company filed a registration statement on Form SB-2 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to register shares of common stock for public resale by certain stockholders identified in the registration statement. Upon the effective date of the registration statement, the Company became subject to the reporting requirements of Section 12(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and commenced filing reports under the Exchange Act through the quarter ended June 30, 2012.

 

In March 2006, the Company acquired the assets of Environmental Control Corporation, which developed vehicle emission control devices and filed a certificate of amendment to its articles of incorporation in April 2013 to change its name to Environmental Control Corp. The Company filed reports under the Exchange Act through the quarter ended June 30, 2012.

 

On May 2, 2016, the Eighth Judicial District Court of Nevada entered an order appointing Bryan Glass as custodian of the Company, authorizing and directing him to, among other things, take any action reasonable, prudent and for the benefit of the Company, including reinstating the Company under Nevada law, appointing officers, and convening an annual meeting of stockholders (the “Order”). Mr. Glass was a shareholder of the Company on the date that he applied to serve as a custodian of the Company. From time to time, Mr. Glass submits applications to the courts of the state of Nevada to be appointed as the custodian of corporations in which he already is a shareholder that have forfeited their right to exist as a corporation for reasons such as failure to file annual reports or to pay required fees, and such applications may or may not be successful. If the court approves the application, Mr. Glass is appointed to serve as the custodian of such corporations. In the past, he either has contributed assets or sold them to third parties. Thereafter, the board of directors and Mr. Glass, in his role as custodian, appointed himself to serve as the President of the Company.

 

On May 5, 2016, the Company filed a Certificate of Reinstatement with the state of Nevada to reestablish the Company’s existence.

 

On May 9, 2016, the board of directors and Bryan Glass, in the exercise of his power as the court-appointed custodian of the Company, appointed Bryan Glass as our President, Secretary and Treasurer and authorized the issuance of 60,000,000 shares of stock to Mr. Glass for an aggregate price of $60,000, which sum was paid by the performance of services to the Company and the reimbursement of expenses incurred by Mr. Glass on the Company’s behalf in the amount of $6,685. The expenses incurred by Mr. Glass included $5,160 to the state of Nevada for fees in connection with reinstating the Company and other filings to bring the Company current under the requirements of Nevada corporate law; $1,250 to the transfer agent for outstanding fees; and $275 to the state of Nevada as a filing fee in connection with the amendment to the articles of incorporation.

On June 15, 2016, the Company held a stockholders’ meeting at which the stockholders adopted Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Company under which the Company increased the total number of shares it is authorized to issue to 190 million shares consisting of 180 million shares of common stock and 10 million shares of blank check preferred stock.

 

In December 2018, Mr. Glass sold 60 million shares of common stock, representing all of the shares he owned in the Company, and equal to 56.83% of the total number of outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, to Lili Xin for the sum of $90,000. Ms. Chang became acquainted with Mr. Glass through a mutual associate, and they subsequently negotiated a deal for his control of a block of shares in the Company. Concurrent with the sale of his shares, the board of directors appointed Ms. Chang as the President and as a director of the Company and Mr. Glass resigned from all positions he held with the Company.

 

On May 22, 2019, the Company filed a Form 15 with the SEC terminating the registration of its class of common stock under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act and its duty to file periodic and other reports with the SEC.

 

On December 12, 2019, the Company filed a registration statement on Form 10 to register its class of common stock under the Exchange Act, and the registration statement automatically became effective in February 2020.

 

On June 29, 2021, Lili Xin, our former Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, director and principal stockholder of the Company (“Ms. Xin”), and Fei Wang (“Mr. Wang”), entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which Ms. Xin agreed to sell to Mr. Wang 80,000,000 shares of Common Stock registered in her name (the “Shares”), representing 59% of the outstanding shares of common stock in the Company, at a purchase price of Three Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($350,000). The seller relied on the exemption from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of, and Regulation D and/or Regulation S promulgated under the Act in selling the Company’s securities to Mr. Wang. The funds came from the personal funds of Mr. Wang and was not the result of a loan. The closing occurred on August 10, 2021.

 

In connection with such sale, Lili Xin, the then CEO, President and CFO resigned from all of her positions associated with the Company. Concurrently therewith, Mr. Wang was appointed to serve as the sole executive officer and director of the Company.

 

Effective October 28, 2021, the Company’s name changed to Yong Bai Chao New Retail Corporation.

 

On May 17, 2023, the Company obtained the approval of the holders of a majority of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares that  approved and adopted the amended and restated articles of incorporation (the “Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation”), to effect a 1-for-20 reverse stock split of the Company’s outstanding common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”). As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, each 20 shares of common stock (the “Old Shares”) will become and be consolidated into one share of common stock (the “New Shares”), with stockholders who would receive a fractional share to receive a whole number of one share. Accordingly, the number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding will decrease from 189,120,068 to approximately 9,456,004. Since additional fractional shares may be issued in order to round up fractional shares, we currently do not know the exact number of New Shares that will be outstanding after the Reverse Stock Split. The Reverse Stock Split will become effective upon the filing of the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada. The Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation have not been filed with the Secretary of the State of Nevada so the Reverse Stock Split has not been put into effect. 

 

On January 9, 2024, Min Zhang resigned from the Chief Financial Officer position of Yong Bai Chao New Retail Corporation (the 'Company'), effective on January 9, 2024. Mr. Zhang did not advise the Company of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to its operation, policies, or practices.

 

On January 9, 2024, Jianbao Huang resigned from the Secretary of the Board of Directors position of the Company, effective on January 9, 2024. Mr. Huang did not advise the Company of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to its operation, policies, or practices.

On January 9, 2024, Yanying Feng, Zhenpeng Lu and Li Yang resigned from the Director of the Board of the Company, effective on January 9, 2024. Mr. Zhenpeng Lu, Ms. Li Yang and Ms. Yanying Feng did not advise the Company of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to its operation, policies, or practices.

 

On February 28, 2024, Wang Fei ("Mr. Wang") resigned from the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board position of Yong Bai Chao New Retail Corporation (the "Company"), effective on February 28, 2024. Mr. Wang did not advise the Company of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to its operation, policies, or practices. Concurrently therewith, Baobin He was appointed to serve as the sole executive officer and director of the Company.

 

The Company only possesses minimal liabilities with no substantial business operations. There was no revenue or positive cash flows from operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2023. The Company’s management efforts are focused on seeking out a new and profitable operating business with strong growth potential. Unless and until the Company’s successful acquisition of an operating business, we expect our expenses to primarily consist of accounting fee, legal service fee, and filing fee related to maintaining itself as a public company.

  

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

 

The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued disclosure guidance for “critical accounting policies.” The SEC defines “critical accounting policies” as those that require the application of management’s most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods.

 

Our significant accounting policies are described in the Notes to these financial statements. Currently, based on the Company’s limited activity, we do not believe that there are any accounting policies that require the application of difficult, subjective, or complex judgments.

   

Results of Operations

 

The Year Ended December 31, 2023 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2022:

 

Revenue. We did not generate any revenue during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.

 

Operating Expenses. Our operating expenses primarily consisted of fees and expenses related to complying with our ongoing SEC reporting requirements, which have mainly consisted of accounting fee, legal service fee, and filing fee.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2023, total operating expenses amounted to $62,017 as compared to $82,046 for the year ended December 31, 2022, representing a decrease of $20,029 or 24.4%. The decrease was mainly due to a decrease in legal fee of $15,500, audit fees of $5,900, accounting fees of $575, and Edgar filing fees of $189, offset by an increase in stock transfer fee of $2,135.

 

Other Expense. Other expense includes interest expense. 

 

For the year ended December 31, 2023, interest expense was $0, as compared to $14,167 for the year ended December 31, 2022, a decrease of $14,167 or 100.0%. The decrease was driven by the write-off the debt in the amount of $516,508 in the third quarter of 2022.

 

Net Loss. As a result of the factors described above, we had net loss of $62,017 and $96,213, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

At December 31, 2023, we did not have any cash, while, we had liabilities of $106,659, and had a working capital deficit of $106,659.

Net cash flow used in operating activities was $0 for the year ended December 31, 2023. These included our net loss of $62,017, offset by the changes in operating assets and liabilities totaling $62,017.

 

Net cash flow provided by financing activities was $0 for the year ended December 31, 2023.

 

We are a shell company with no revenue generating activities. The success of our business plan is dependent upon the availability of additional capital resources on terms satisfactory to management as we are not generating sufficient revenues from our business operations. Our sources of capital in the past have included the sale of equity securities, which include common stock sold in private transactions and stockholder advances. There can be no assurance that we can raise such additional capital resources on satisfactory terms. We believe that our current cash and other sources of liquidity discussed above are adequate to support operations for at least the next 12 months. We anticipate continuing to rely on equity sales of our common shares and shareholder advances in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuance of additional shares will result in dilution to our existing shareholders. There is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of our equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund our plan of operations.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of December 31, 2023, we did not have any transactions, agreements or other contractual arrangements that constitute off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

COVID-19

 

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization officially declared the outbreak of the novel coronavirus COVID-19 a “pandemic.” A significant outbreak of COVID-19 and other infectious diseases has resulted in a widespread health crisis that has significantly adversely affected businesses of all types, economies and financial markets worldwide. The business of any potential target business with which we consummate a business combination could have been materially and adversely affected. Although China reopened its border and lowered the COVID-19 related restrictions early 2023, we may be unable to complete a business combination if the Chinese government resumes or increases COVID-19 related restrictive measures on travel, in-person meetings and gatherings. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts our search for a business combination will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the actions to contain COVID-19 or treat its impact, among others. If there are future disruptions posed by COVID-19 or other health-related matters of global concern in the future, our ability to consummate a business combination, or the operations of a target business with which we ultimately consummate a business combination, may be materially adversely affected.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e)) under the Exchange Act) that is designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. However, a control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all controls systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving its objectives.

Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the year ended December 31, 2022. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2022 due to the Company’s limited financial and personnel resources.

 

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Management is responsible for the preparation of our financial statements and related information. Management uses its best judgment to ensure that the financial statements present fairly, in material respects, our financial position and results of operations in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

 

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in the Exchange Act. These internal controls are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the reported financial information is presented fairly, that disclosures are adequate and that the judgments inherent in the preparation of financial statements are reasonable. There are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any system of internal controls including the possibility of human error and overriding of controls. Consequently, an ineffective internal control system can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance with respect to reporting financial information.

 

Our internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to maintaining records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect our transactions; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary for preparation of our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and that the receipts and expenditures of company assets are made in accordance with our management and directors authorization; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding the prevention of or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.

 

Under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) as outlined by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and guidance prepared by the Commission specifically for smaller public companies. Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2023. We have identified the following material weakness as of December 31, 2023:

 

 

·

Segregation of duties in the handling of cash, cash receipts and cash disbursements were not formalized, and

 

·

Lack of an independent board to oversee management decisions and use of funds.

 

Remediation of Material Weakness in Internal Control

 

Presently, it will be difficult to mitigate or eliminate the material weaknesses in our internal controls. We do not currently possess sufficient financial resources to engage the additional personnel required to alleviate the weaknesses that stem from the lack of segregation of duties in the handling of cash, cash receipts and cash disbursements was not formalized. Moreover, it is difficult for small public companies such as ours to attract qualified independent directors given the obligations and risks attendant to such serving in such capacity; hence we will continue to operate with a single board member thereby failing mitigate the weaknesses stemming from the lack of an independent board:

 

 
19

Table of Contents

 

In the interim, management has internally formalized the procedures for segregation of duties and monitoring handling of cash, cash receipts and cash disbursements. We also are establishing a formal documented system of internal controls surrounding cash and plan to implement such systems.

 

Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our Company have been detected.

 

This Report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this Report.

 

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act) during the most recently completed year that would have materially affected, or been reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 10. DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

 

The following table lists our officers and directors as of the date of this Report:

 

Directors and Executive Officers

 

Age

 

Position / Title

Baobin He

 

58

 

Chief Executive Officer,

Chief Financial Officer and Director

    

Mr. Baobin He Mr. He became Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Director on February 28, 2024.  From 2012 through 2020, he was Chief Executive Officer of Gonxian Coal Industry Co., Ltd.  The Company believes that his experience as a Chief Executive Officer makes him well qualified to be a Director.  He attended the Chengdu Arts and Sciences University from 1984 through 1988.  

 

The foregoing officer and director will not  receive compensation in connection with his  service on our Board of Directors or as an executive officer.

 

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

 

Our director and  executive officer and control persons has not been involved in any legal proceeding listed in Item 401(f) of Regulation S-K in the past 10 years.

 

Corporate Governance

 

Our Board has not established any committees, including an audit committee, a compensation committee or a nominating committee, or any committee performing similar functions. The functions of those committees are being undertaken by our Board. As of the date of this report, no member of our board of directors qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act. Because we do not have any independent directors, our Board believes that the establishment of committees of our Board would not provide any benefits to our Company and could be considered more form than substance.

  

We do not have a policy regarding the consideration of any director candidates that may be recommended by our stockholders, including the minimum qualifications for director candidates, nor have our officers and directors established a process for identifying and evaluating director nominees. We have not adopted a policy regarding the handling of any potential recommendation of director candidates by our stockholders, including the procedures to be followed. Our officers and directors have not considered or adopted any of these policies as we have never received a recommendation from any stockholder for any candidate to serve on our Board of Directors.

 

Given our relative size and lack of directors’ and officers’ insurance coverage, we do not anticipate that any of our stockholders will make such a recommendation in the near future. While there have been no nominations of additional directors proposed, in the event such a proposal is made, all current members of our Board will participate in the consideration of director nominees.

 

As with most small, early-stage companies until such time as our Company further develops our business, achieves a stronger revenue base and has sufficient working capital to purchase directors’ and officers’ insurance, we do not have any immediate prospects to attract independent directors. When we are able to expand our Board to include one or more independent directors, we intend to establish an audit committee of our Board of Directors. It is our intention that one or more of these independent directors will also qualify as an audit committee financial expert. Our securities are not quoted on an exchange that has requirements that a majority of our Board members be independent and we are not currently otherwise subject to any law, rule or regulation requiring that all or any portion of our Board of Directors include “independent” directors, nor are we required to establish or maintain an audit committee or other committees of our Board.

Code of Ethics

 

The Company, as of this time, has not adopted a Code of Ethics pursuant to rules described in Regulation S-K. The Company has no operations or business and does not receive any revenues or investment capital. The adoption of a Code of Ethics at this time would not serve the primary purpose of such a code to provide a manner of conduct as the development, execution and enforcement of such a code would be by the same persons and only persons to whom such code applied. Furthermore, because the Company does not have any activities, there are no activities or transactions which would be subject to this code. At the time the Company enters into a business combination, the officers and directors will recommend to any new management that such a code be adopted. The Company does not maintain an Internet website on which to post a code of ethics.

 

Committees of our Board of Directors

 

Our securities are not quoted on an exchange that has requirements that a majority of our Board members be independent and we are not currently otherwise subject to any law, rule or regulation requiring that all or any portion of our Board of Directors include “independent” directors, nor are we required to establish or maintain an Audit Committee or other committees of our Board of Directors.

 

However, prior management of the Company adopted charters for each of an audit committee, a nominating committee and a compensation committee. A copy of each committee charter previously has been filed by the Company with the SEC. Each such committee would be comprised solely of independent directors, of which have none. As of the date of this Report, we have not seated any such committee and do not expect to do so. Any future determination to appoint members to and seat such committees will be in the discretion of management of an operating business with which we consummate a business transaction, if ever.

 

Currently, our Board does not have standing audit, compensation or nominating committees. Our Board does not believe these committees are necessary based on the size of our company, the current levels of compensation to corporate officers and voting control lies with our current board of directors. Our Board will consider establishing audit, compensation and nominating committees at the appropriate time.

 

The entire Board of Directors participates in the consideration of compensation issues and of director nominees. Candidates for director nominees will be reviewed in the context of the current composition of the Board and our operating requirements and the long-term interests of our stockholders. In conducting this assessment, the Board of Directors will consider professional and business skills, experience, expertise, diversity, judgment and such other factors as it deems appropriate given the current needs of the Board and our company, to maintain a balance of knowledge, experience and capability.

  

The Board’s process for identifying and evaluating nominees for director, including nominees recommended by stockholders, will involve compiling names of potentially eligible candidates, conducting background and reference checks, conducting interviews with the candidate and others (as schedules permit), meeting to consider and approve the final candidates and, as appropriate, preparing an analysis with regard to particular recommended candidates.

 

Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports

 

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires directors, executive officers and holders of more than 10% of an equity security registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act to file various reports with the SEC. Our equity securities are not registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act, so our directors, executive officers and 10% holders are not subject to Section 16(a).

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

 

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

 

Our executive compensation philosophy is to create a long-term direct relationship between pay and our performance. Our executive compensation program is designed to provide a balanced total compensation package over the executive’s career with us. The compensation program objectives are to attract, motivate and retain the qualified executives that help ensure our future success, to provide incentives for increasing our profits by awarding executives when corporate goals are achieved and to align the interests of executives and long-term stockholders. The compensation package of our named executive officers consists of two main elements:

 

 

1.

base salary for our executives that is competitive relative to the market, and that reflects individual performance, retention and other relevant considerations; and

 

 

2.

discretionary bonus awards payable in cash and tied to the satisfaction of corporate objectives.

 

Process for Setting Executive Compensation

 

Until such time as we establish a Compensation Committee, our Board is responsible for developing and overseeing the implementation of our philosophy with respect to the compensation of executives and for monitoring the implementation and results of the compensation philosophy to ensure compensation remains competitive, creates proper incentives to enhance stockholder value and rewards superior performance. We expect to annually review and approve for each named executive officer, and particularly with regard to the Chief Executive Officer, all components of the executive’s compensation. We process and factors (including individual and corporate performance measures and actual performance versus such measures) used by the Chief Executive Officer to recommend such awards. Additionally, we expect to review and approve the base salary, equity-incentive awards (if any) and any other special or supplemental benefits of the named executive officers.

   

The Chief Executive Officer will periodically provide the Board with an evaluation of each named executive officer’s performance, based on the individual performance goals and objectives developed by the Chief Executive Officer at the beginning of the year, as well as other factors. The Board provides an evaluation for the Chief Executive Officer. These evaluations serve as the bases for bonus recommendations and changes in the compensation arrangements of our named executives.

 

Our Compensation Peer Group

 

We intend to engage in informal market analysis in evaluating our executive compensation arrangements. As the Company and its businesses mature, we may retain compensation consultants that will assist us in developing a formal benchmark and selecting a compensation peer group of companies similar to us in size or business for the purpose of comparing executive compensation levels.

There are no current employment agreements between the Company and our executive officer or understandings regarding future compensation.

 

Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End

 

No executive officer received any equity awards, or holds exercisable or unexercisable options, as of December 31, 2023.

 

Long-Term Incentive Plans

 

There are no arrangements or plans in which the Company would provide pension, retirement or similar benefits for directors or executive officers.

 

Compensation Committee

 

We do not currently have a compensation committee of our Board of Directors. The Board as a whole determines executive compensation.

 

Compensation Risk Management

 

Our Board of directors and human resources staff conducted an assessment of potential risks that may arise from our compensation programs. Based on this assessment, we concluded that our policies and practices do not encourage excessive and unnecessary risk taking that would be reasonably likely to have material adverse effect on the Company. The assessment included our cash incentive programs, which awards non-executives with cash bonuses for punctuality. Our compensation programs are substantially identical among business units, corporate functions and global locations (with modifications to comply with local regulations as appropriate). The risk-mitigating factors considered in this assessment included:

 

  

·

the alignment of pay philosophy, peer group companies and compensation amounts relative to local competitive practices to support our business objectives; and

 

 

 

 

·

effective balance of cash, short- and long-term performance periods, caps on performance-based award schedules and financial metrics with individual factors and Board and management discretion.

 

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

 

We have not yet established a Compensation Committee. Our Board of Directors performs the functions that would be performed by a compensation committee. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, none of our executive officers has served: (i) on the compensation committee (or other board committee performing equivalent functions or, in the absence of any such committee, the entire board of directors) of another entity, one of whose executive officers served on our board of directors; (ii) as a director of another entity, one of whose executive officers served on the compensation committee (or other board committee performing equivalent functions or, in the absence of any such committee, the entire board of directors) of the registrant; or (iii) as a member of the compensation committee (or other board committee performing equivalent functions or, in the absence of any such committee, the entire board of directors) of another entity, one of whose executive officers served as a director of the company.

 

Compensation Committee Report

 

Our board of directors has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis in this report with management. Based on its review and discussion with management, the board of directors recommended that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

On August 29, 2011, the Company entered into a convertible debenture agreement with a company controlled by a former Vice President of the Company. The Company received $100,000 which is due five years from the advancement date. The loan is interest free for the first year, after which it bears interest at a rate of 10% per annum. The accrued interest is payable annually on the anniversaries of the advancement date, commencing on the second anniversary. Any portion of the loan and unpaid interest are convertible at any time at the option of the lender into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $0.025 per share. The Company can repay any portion of the loan and accrued interest at any time without penalty.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2022, the interest expense related to above borrowings amounted to $14,167 , and has been reflected as interest expense on the accompanying statements of operations.

 

Write-off of Convertible Debentures Issued to Related Parties and Related Accrued Interest

 

The Company received two legal opinion letters from its counsel in the third quarter of 2022, stating that subject to the assumptions, qualifications and exceptions set forth therein, as of August 11, 2022 and September 2, 2022, the collection of convertible loans with principal of $150,000 and $100,000, respectively, including related accrued and unpaid interest, is time-barred under Nevada law NRS 11.010(2) due to the debenture holders’ failure to demand repayments of these convertible loans in a timely manner.

 

Therefore, in the third quarter of 2022, the Company determined to write off the related party loans and related accrued and unpaid interest totaling $516,508. The write-off was treated as a capital transaction and the amount was recorded in additional paid-in capital.

Due to Related Party

 

The Company’s principal shareholder and former CEO, Fei Wang, paid certain expenses on behalf of the Company. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company sold 53,551,000 shares of common stock for $53,551. As the Company does not have a bank account, the fund was deposited directly to Mr. Wang’s personal bank account and was accounted for as a decrease in due to related party. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had a payable amount to him of $99,337.

 

ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES

 

All audit work was performed KCCW Accountancy Corp. for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2023., respectively. Our board of directors does not have an audit committee. The functions customarily delegated to an audit committee are performed by our full board of directors.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Yong Bai Chao New Retail Corporation

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Yong Bai Chao New Retail Corporation (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As described in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred recurring losses from operations, has minimal operations, and needs additional capital to grow its operations so that it can become profitable. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans with regard to these matters are described in Note 1. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

Critical Audit Matters

 

Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there are no critical audit matters.

 

/s/ KCCW Accountancy Corp.

 

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2022.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Organization and Description of Business

 

Yong Bai Chao New Retail Corporation (“we”, “us”, or the “Company”) (formerly known as Boss Minerals, Inc. and Environmental Control Corp., respectively) was organized under the laws of the State of Nevada on February 17, 2004. The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31st.

 

Currently, the Company only possesses minimal liabilities with no substantial business operations. There was no revenue or positive cash flows from operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2023. The Company’s management efforts are focused on seeking out a new and profitable operating business with strong growth potential. Unless and until the Company’s successful acquisition of an operating business, we expect our expenses to mainly consist of the legal service fee, accounting fee, and filing fee etc. related to maintaining a public company.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The financial statements and related disclosures have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) of the United States. 

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid short-term investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of 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, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are provided in accordance with ASC 740 Accounting for Income Taxes. A deferred tax asset or liability is recorded for all temporary differences between financial and tax reporting and net operating loss carry forwards. Deferred tax expense (benefit) results from the net change during the year of deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

 

Per Share Data

 

ASC Topic 260 “Earnings per Share,” requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) with a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. Basic EPS excludes dilution. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity.

 

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

 

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying financial statements, primarily due to their short-term nature.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

There are no financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to the concentration of credit risk. The Company has not experienced losses and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant credit risks.

 

Going Concern

 

As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company had accumulated deficit of 3,675,708 and working capital deficit of $106,659 at December 31, 2023 and has incurred recurring net loss of $62,017 for the year ended December 31, 2023. The Company has no current operating activities. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least the next twelve months from the date the Company’s financial statements are released. Management intends to fund the ongoing operations of the Company while seeking potential business acquisition opportunities.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740). The ASU requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as additional information on income taxes paid. The ASU is effective on a prospective basis for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is also permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of this ASU on its financial statements.
