These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the following: competition, promotional costs and the risk of declining revenues. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors. These forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this filing, and we assume no obligation to update such forward-looking statements. The following discusses our financial condition and results of operations based upon our audited financial statements which have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. It should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere herein.
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements.

Our consolidated financial statements are stated in United States Dollars (US$) and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
In this annual report, unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are expressed in United States Dollars (US$) and all references to “common shares” refer to the common shares in our capital stock.
As used in this annual report, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company,” “Shentang” and “our company” mean Shentang International, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, unless otherwise indicated.
Corporate Background
Our Corporate History and Background
General Background of the Company
Shentang International, Inc. (“we” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on June 29, 2007. We were an exploration stage company engaged in the exploration of mineral resource properties.
On July 22, 2009, the Company conducted a 1-to-10 stock split (the “Stock Split”) of the issued and outstanding common stock, so the Company’s issued and outstanding shares increased from 1,670,000 to 16,700,000 with par value of $0.001. Immediately after the Stock Split on July 22, 2009, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Boom Spring, Inc. (“Boom Spring”), and the shareholders of Boom Spring. Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, the shareholders of Boom Spring transferred to the Company all of the equity interest of Boom Spring in exchange for 12,000,000 outstanding shares of the Company and 33,300,000 newly issued shares of the Company (the “Share Exchange”). As a result of the Share Exchange, Boom Spring became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and the Company became a holding company with issued and outstanding common stock of 50,000,000 with par value of $0.001.
Pursuant to a board resolution dated October 21, 2009, the Company increased its authorized number of common stock from 50,000,000 to 190,000,000, and conducted a 2-for-5 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of the issued and outstanding common stock. After the Reverse Stock Split, the Company’s issued and outstanding shares changed from 50,000,000 to 20,000,000 with par value of $0.001 effective on October 21, 2009. This reverse stock split also gave retroactive effect in the balance sheet as of December 31, 2008 and the computation of basic and diluted EPS is adjusted retroactively for all period presented accordingly.
The Company had exclusive use of the core technologies, including hollow/solid glass processing technology, pure manual glass rod processing technology, wire processing technology and painting processing technology. It developed “Yi Fan Feng Shun” liquor vessel with the brand of Wu Liang Ye. The Company was engaged in expanding in the international market. The Company also planned to build or acquire its own production capacity to meet the demand in the domestic Chinese market by purchasing or acquiring new equipment of machine-made glass producing. The objective of the Company was to become a large-scaled glass craftwork supplier and further develop its innovational technology.
On May 11, 2018, the eight judicial District Court of Nevada appointed Custodian Ventures, LLC as custodian for Shentang International Inc., proper notice having been given to the officers and directors of Shentang International, Inc. There was no opposition.
On May 16, 2018, the Company filed a certificate of revival with the state of Nevada, appointing David Lazar as, President, Secretary, Treasurer and Director.
On May 31, 2018, the Company obtained a promissory note in amount of $7,500 from its custodian, Custodian Ventures, LLC, the managing member being David Lazar. The note bears an interest of 3% and all unpaid interest and principal is due within 180 days following written demand.
On May 31, 2018, the Company issued 27,000,000 shares of common stock to Custodian Ventures, LLC at par for shares valued at $27,000 in exchange for settlement of a portion of a related party loan for amounts advanced to the Company in the amount of $19,500, and the promissory note issued to the Company in the amount $7,500.
On November 8, 2019, the Company filed with the State of Nevada, a Certificate of Designation for its Series A preferred stock (the “Certificate”). The Certificate was effective on November 8, 2019. The Certificate establishes all of the rights of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A”), as related to the Series A, including, but not limited to the conversion rights and voting rights. On November 7, 2019, the Board of Directors of the Company resolved to set the terms of the Rights as found in the Certificate. Also on November 19, 2019, Custodian Ventures, LLC exchanged its 27,000,000 shares of common stock for 10,000,000 shares of the Series A.
Mr. Lazar is considered, and shall be treated as, a promoter for the Company.
Business Objectives of the Company
Since the custodial proceedings, the Company had no business operations. Management has determined to direct its efforts and limited resources to pursue potential new business opportunities. The Company does not intend to limit itself to a particular industry and has not established any particular criteria upon which it shall consider a business opportunity.
The Company’s common stock is subject to quotation on the OTC Pink Sheets under the symbol SHNL. There is currently only a limited trading market in the Company’s shares nor do we believe that any active trading market has existed for approximately the last 5 years. There can be no assurance that there will be an active trading market for our securities following the effective date of this registration statement under the Exchange Act. In the event that an active trading market commences, there can be no assurance as to the market price of our shares of common stock, whether any trading market will provide liquidity to investors, or whether any trading market will be sustained.
Management of the Company (“Management”) would have substantial flexibility in identifying and selecting a prospective new business opportunity. The Company is dependent on the judgment of its Management in connection with this process. In evaluating a prospective business opportunity, we would consider, among other factors, the following:
●
costs associated with pursuing a new business opportunity;
●
growth potential of the new business opportunity;
●
experiences, skills and availability of additional personnel necessary to pursue a potential new business opportunity;
●
necessary capital requirements;
●
the competitive position of the new business opportunity;
●
stage of business development;
●
the market acceptance of the potential products and services;
●
proprietary features and degree of intellectual property; and
●
the regulatory environment that may be applicable to any prospective business opportunity.
The foregoing criteria are not intended to be exhaustive and there may be other criteria that Management may deem relevant. In connection with an evaluation of a prospective or potential business opportunity, Management may be expected to conduct a due diligence review.
The time and costs required to pursue new business opportunities, which includes negotiating and documenting relevant agreements and preparing requisite documents for filing pursuant to applicable securities laws, can not be ascertained with any degree of certainty.
Management intends to devote such time as it deems necessary to carry out the Company’s affairs. The exact length of time required for the pursuit of any new potential business opportunities is uncertain. No assurance can be made that we will be successful in our efforts. We cannot project the amount of time that our Management will actually devote to the Company’s plan of operation.
The Company intends to conduct its activities so as to avoid being classified as an “Investment Company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and therefore avoid application of the costly and restrictive registration and other provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the regulations promulgated thereunder.
Company is a Blank Check Company
At present, the Company is a development stage company with no revenues, no assets and no specific business plan or purpose. The Company’s business plan is to seek new business opportunities or to engage in a merger or acquisition with an unidentified company. As a result, the Company is a “blank check company” and, as a result, any offerings of the Company’s securities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) must comply with Rule 419 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Act. The Company’s Common Stock is a “penny stock,” as defined in Rule 3a51-1 promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act. The Penny Stock rules require a broker-dealer, 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.
The 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 the common stock of the Company is subject to the Penny Stock rules, it may be more difficult to sell the Company’s common stock.
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 restricted in our use of Registrations on Form S-8 under the Securities Act; the lack of availability of the use of Rule 144 by security holders; and the lack of liquidity in our stock.
Form S-8
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, 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.
Unavailability of Rule 144 for Resale
Rule 144(i) “Unavailability to Securities of Issuers With No or Nominal Operations and No or Nominal Non-Cash Assets” provides that Rule 144 is not available for the resale of securities initially issued by an issuer that is a Shell Company. We have identified our company as a Shell Company and, therefore, the holders of our securities may not rely on Rule 144 to have the restriction removed from their securities without registration or until the Company is no longer identified as a Shell Company and has filed all requisite periodic reports under the Exchange Act for the period of twelve (12) months.
As a result of our classification as a Shell Company, our investors are not allowed 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.
Very Limited Liquidity of our Common Stock
Our common stock occasionally trades on the OTC Pink Sheet Market, as there is no active market maker in our common stock. As a result, there is only limited liquidity in our common stock.
We will be deemed a blank check company under Rule 419 of the Securities Act
The provisions of Rule 419 apply to registration statements filed under the Securities Act by a blank check company, such as the Company. 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. While we are not currently registering shares for an offering, we may do so in the future.
In addition, an issuer is required to file a post-effective amendment to a registration statement upon the execution of an agreement for an acquisition or merger. The rule provides procedures for the release of the offering funds, if any, 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, if any. Each such 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.
Effecting a business combination
Prospective investors in the Company’s common stock will not have an opportunity to evaluate the specific merits or risks of any of the one or more business combinations that we may undertake A business combination may involve the acquisition of, or merger with, a company which needs to raise substantial additional capital by means of being a publicly trading company, while avoiding what it may deem to be adverse consequences of undertaking a public offering itself. These include time delays, significant expense, loss of voting control and compliance with various Federal and State securities laws. A business combination may involve a company which may be financially unstable or in its early stages of development or growth.
The Company has not identified a target business or target industry
The Company’s effort in identifying a prospective target business will not be limited to a particular industry and the Company may ultimately acquire a business in any industry Management deems appropriate. To date, the Company has not selected any target business on which to concentrate our search for a business combination. While the Company intends to focus on target businesses in the United States, it is not limited to U.S. entities and may consummate a business combination with a target business outside of the United States. Accordingly, there is no basis for investors in the Company’s common stock to evaluate the possible merits or risks of the target business or the particular industry in which we may ultimately operate. To the extent we effect a business combination 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 financially unstable and early stage or potential emerging growth companies. In addition, to the extent that we effect a business combination with an entity in an industry characterized by a high level of risk, we may be affected by the currently unascertainable risks of that industry. An extremely high level of risk frequently characterizes many industries which experience rapid growth. In addition, although the Company’s Management will endeavor to evaluate the risks inherent in a particular industry or target business, we cannot assure you that we will properly ascertain or assess all significant risk factors.
Sources of target businesses
Our Management anticipates that target business candidates will be brought to our attention from various unaffiliated sources, including securities broker-dealers, investment bankers, venture capitalists, bankers and other members of the financial community, who may present solicited or unsolicited proposals. Our Management may also bring to our attention target business candidates. While we do not presently anticipate engaging the services of professional firms that specialize in business acquisitions on any formal basis, we may engage these firms in the future, in which event we may pay a finder’s fee or other compensation in connection with a business combination. In no event, however, will we pay Management any finder’s fee or other compensation for services rendered to us prior to or in connection with the consummation of a business combination.
Selection of a target business and structuring of a business combination
Management owns 57.45% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company, and will have broad flexibility in identifying and selecting a prospective target business. In evaluating a prospective target business, our Management will consider, among other factors, the following:
●
financial condition and results of operation of the target company;
●
growth potential;
●
experience and skill of Management and availability of additional personnel;
●
capital requirements;
●
competitive position;
●
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 of the industry; and
●
costs associated with effecting the business combination.
These criteria are not intended to be exhaustive. Any evaluation relating to the merits of a particular business combination will be based, to the extent relevant, on the above factors as well as other considerations deemed relevant by our Management in effecting a business combination consistent with our business objective. In evaluating a prospective target business, we will conduct a due diligence review which will encompass, among other things, meetings with incumbent Management and inspection of facilities, as well as review of financial and other information which will be made available to us.
We will endeavor to structure a business combination so as to achieve the most favorable tax treatment to us, the target business and both companies’ stockholders. However, there can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service or applicable state tax authorities will necessarily agree with the tax treatment of any business combination we consummate.
The time and costs required to select and evaluate a target business and to structure and complete the business combination cannot presently be ascertained with any degree of certainty. Any costs incurred with respect to the identification and evaluation of a prospective target business with which a business combination is not ultimately completed will result in a loss to us.
Probable lack of business diversification
While we may seek to effect business combinations with more than one target business, it is more probable that we will only have the ability to effect a single business combination, if at all. Accordingly, the prospects for our success may be entirely dependent upon the future performance of a single business. Unlike other entities which may have the resources to complete several business combinations with entities operating in multiple industries or multiple areas of a single industry, it is probable that we will lack the resources to diversify our operations or benefit from the possible spreading of risks or offsetting of losses. By consummating a business combination with only a single entity, our lack of diversification may:
● 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 combination, and
● result in our dependency upon the development or market acceptance of a single or limited number of products, processes or services.
Limited ability to evaluate the target business’ Management
We cannot assure you that our assessment of the target business’ Management will prove to be correct. In addition, we cannot assure you that the future Management will have the necessary skills, qualifications or abilities to man
age a public company intending to embark on a program of business development. Furthermore, the future role of our director, if any, in the target business cannot presently be stated with any certainty.
While it is possible that our director will remain associated in some capacity with us following a business combination, it is unlikely that he will devote his full efforts to our affairs subsequent to a business combination. Moreover, we cannot assure you that our director will have significant experience or knowledge relating to the operations of the particular target business.
Following a business combination, we may seek to recruit additional managers to supplement the incumbent Management of the target business. We cannot assure you that we will have the ability to recruit additional managers, or that additional managers will have the requisite skills, knowledge or experience necessary to enhance the incumbent Management.
Our auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern
Our audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2017, were prepared using the assumption that we will continue our operations as a going concern. Our independent accountants in their audit report have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our operations are dependent on our ability to raise sufficient capital or complete business combination as a result of which we become profitable. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty. There is not enough cash on hand to fund our administrative expenses and operating expenses for the next twelve months. Therefore, we may be unable to continue operations in the future as a going concern. If we cannot continue as a viable entity, our stockholders may lose some or all of their investment in the Company’s shares of common stock.
Competition
In identifying, evaluating and selecting a target business, we expect to encounter intense competition from other entities having a business objective similar to ours. Many of these entities are well established and have extensive experience identifying and effecting business combinations, either directly or through affiliates. Many if not virtually most of these competitors possess far greater financial, human and other resources compared to our resources. While we believe that there are numerous potential target businesses that we may identify, our ability to compete in acquiring certain of the more desirable target businesses will be limited by our limited financial and human resources. Our inherent competitive limitations are expected by Management to give others an advantage in pursuing the acquisition of a target business that we may identify and seek to pursue. Further, any of these limitations may place us at a competitive disadvantage in successfully negotiating a business combination. Our Management believes, however, that our status as a reporting public entity with potential access to the United States public equity markets may give us a competitive advantage over certain privately-held entities having a similar business objective in acquiring a desirable target business with growth potential on favorable terms.
If we succeed in effecting a business combination, there will be, in all likelihood, intense competition from existing competitors of the business we acquire. In particular, certain industries which experience rapid growth frequently attract an increasingly larger number of competitors, including those with far greater financial, marketing, technical and other resources than the initial competitors in the industry in which we seek to operate. The degree of competition characterizing the industry of any prospective target business cannot presently be ascertained. We cannot assure you that, subsequent to a business combination, we will have the resources to compete effectively, especially to the extent that the target business is in a high-growth industry.
Employees
David Lazar, our Chief Executive Officer, is our sole executive officer. Mr. Lazar is not obligated to devote any specific number of hours per week and, in fact, intends to devote only as much time as he deem reasonably necessary to administer the Company's affairs until such time as a business combination is consummated. The amount of time he will devote in any time period will vary based on the availability of suitable target businesses to investigate. We do not intend to have any full-time employees prior to the consummation of a business combination.
Prior to being granted custodianship of the Company, Mr. Lazar had no previous experience with blank check companies. Mr. Lazar was also been granted custodianship of Guozi Zhongyu Capital Holdings (formerly, Melt, Inc.) and Cang Bao Tian Xia International Art Trade Center, Inc. (formerly, Zhongchai Machinery, Inc.), both of which were blank check companies and both of which filed a Form 10.
Conflicts of Interest
The Company's Management is not required to commit its full time to the Company's affairs. As a result, pursuing new business opportunities may require a longer period of time than if Management would devote full time to the Company's affairs. Management is not precluded from serving as an officer or director of any other entity that is engaged in business activities similar to those of the Company. Management has not identified and is not currently negotiating a new business opportunity for us. In the future, Management may become associated or affiliated with entities engaged in business activities similar to those we intend to conduct. In such event, Management may have conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented. In the event that the Company's Management has multiple business affiliations, our Management may have legal obligations to present certain business opportunities to multiple entities. In the event that a conflict of interest shall arise, Management will consider factors such as reporting status, availability of audited financial statements, current capitalization and the laws of jurisdictions. If several business opportunities or operating entities approach Management with respect to a business combination, Management will consider the foregoing factors as well as the preferences of the Management of the operating company. However, Management will act in what it believes will be in the best interests of the shareholders of the Company. The Company shall not enter into a transaction with a target business that is affiliated with Management.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Results of Operations
For the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to the year ended December 31, 2018
Revenue
For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company generated $0 in revenues. For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company generated $0 in revenues.
Expenses
For the year ended December 31, 2019, we incurred operating expenses in the amount of $1,436,367. For the year ended December 31, 2018, we incurred operating expenses of $46,635. The increase is due to increased consulting fees of $1,400,000 associated with the preferred stock issuance as well as accounting and legal fees associated with the preparation and filing of the Company’s Form 10 and periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Net Loss
We had net loss of $1,436,367 for the year ended December 31, 2019. For the year months ended December 31, 2018 we incurred a net loss of $46,503. The increase is due to increased consulting fees of $1,400,000 associated with the preferred stock issuance as well as accounting and legal fees associated with the preparation and filing of the Company’s Form 10 and periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Liquidity
As of December 31, 2019, the Company has no business operations and no cash resources other than that provided by Management. We are dependent upon interim funding provided by Management or an affiliated party to pay professional fees and expenses. Our Management and an affiliated party have agreed to provide funding as may be required to pay for accounting fees and other administrative expenses of the Company until the Company enters into a business combination. The Company would be unable to continue as a going concern without interim financing provided by Management. As of December 31, 2019, we had $0 in cash. As of December 31, 2018, we had $0 in cash.
If we require additional financing, we cannot predict whether equity or debt financing will become available at terms acceptable to us, if at all. The Company depends upon services provided by Management and an affiliated party to fulfill its filing obligations under the Exchange Act. At present, the Company has no financial resources to pay for such services.
The Company does not currently engage in any business activities that provide cash flow. The costs of investigating and analyzing business combinations, maintaining the filing of Exchange Act reports, the investigation, analyzing, and consummation of an acquisition for an unlimited period of time will be paid from additional money contributed by David Lazar, our sole officer and director, or an affiliated party.
During the next 12 months we anticipate incurring costs related to:
● filing of Exchange Act reports.
● franchise fees, registered agent fees, legal fees and accounting fees, and
● investigating, analyzing and consummating an acquisition or business combination.
We estimate that these costs will be in the range of five to six thousand dollars per year, and that we will be able to meet these costs as necessary, to be advanced/loaned to us by Management and/or an affiliated party.
On December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we have had $0 in current assets and $7,632 in current assets, respectively. As of December 31, 2019, we had $83,039 in liabilities, consisting of accounts payable and a Loan payable due to our CEO. As of December 31, 2018, we had $27,135 in liabilities.
We had a positive cash flow from operations of $331 during the year ended December 31, 2019, mainly due to a net loss of $1,436,367. We financed our negative cash flow from operations during the year ended December 31, 2019 through advances made by our CEO.
We had $13,385 cash flow used in operations during the year ended December 31, 2018.The Company currently plans to satisfy its cash requirements for the next 12 months through borrowings from its CEO or companies affiliated with its CEO and believes it can satisfy its cash requirements so long as it is able to obtain financing from these affiliated parties. The Company expects that money borrowed will be used during the next 12 months to satisfy the Company’s operating costs, professional fees and for general corporate purposes. There is no written funding agreement between the Company and Mr. Lazar, our sole officer and director.
On May 31, 2018, the Company obtained a promissory note in amount of $7,500 from its custodian, Custodian Ventures, LLC, the managing member being David Lazar. The note bears an interest of 3% and all unpaid interest and principal is due within 180 days following written demand. During the year ended December 31, 2019, Custodian Ventures, LLC paid on behalf of the company a total of $36,669 to the Company for registration, legal and accounting fees. As of December 31, 2019, the company had a loan payable remaining of $54,560 to Custodian Ventures, LLC. This loan is unsecured, non-interest bearing, and has no specific terms for repayment.
The Company has only limited capital. Additional financing is necessary for the Company to continue as a going concern. Our independent auditors have unqualified audit opinion for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 with an explanatory paragraph on going concern.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act of 1934.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, we did not have any contractual obligations.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our significant accounting policies are described in the notes to our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, and are included elsewhere in this registration statement.
Going Concern
The financial statements accompanying this report have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that our company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. Our company has not generated revenues since inception and has never paid any dividends and is unlikely to pay dividends or generate earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. The continuation of our company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from our shareholders, the ability of our company to obtain necessary equity financing to achieve our operating objectives, and the attainment of profitable operations. As at December 31, 2019, our company has an accumulated deficit of $2,059,703. We do not have sufficient working capital to enable us to carry out our plan of operation for the next twelve months.
Due to the uncertainty of our ability to meet our current operating expenses and the capital expenses noted above in their report on the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019, our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements contain additional note disclosures describing the circumstances that lead to this disclosure by our independent auditors.
The continuation of our business is dependent upon us raising additional financial support. The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.
Critical Accounting Policies
The financial statements and the related notes of our company are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and are expressed in US dollars.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standards update for leases. The ASU introduces a lessee model that brings most leases on the balance sheet. The new standard also aligns many of the underlying principles of the new lessor model with those in the current accounting guidance as well as the FASB’s new revenue recognition standard. However, the ASU eliminates the use of bright-line tests in determining lease classification as required in the current guidance. The ASU also requires additional qualitative disclosures along with specific quantitative disclosures to better enable users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The pronouncement is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, for nonpublic entities using a modified retrospective approach. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is still evaluating the impact that the new accounting guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures and has not yet determined the method by which it will adopt the standard.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, David Lazar, who is our Chief executive officer and Chief financial officer, as of December 31, 2019, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer has concluded that, based on the material weaknesses discussed below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of such date to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act were recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Act Commission's rules and forms and that our disclosure controls are not effectively designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. As defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, Sandor Miklos, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, and effected by the Company's board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP.
The Company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records, that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the Company's assets; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of the Company's management and directors; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting at December 31, 2019. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013). Based on that assessment under those criteria, management has determined that, as of December 31, 2019, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective.
Our internal controls are not effective for the following reasons: (i) there is an inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives as management is comprised of only two persons, one of which is the Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer and, (ii) the Company does not have an audit committee with a financial expert, and thus the Company lacks the board oversight role within the financial reporting process.
In order to mitigate the foregoing material weakness, we have engaged an outside accounting consultant with significant experience in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP to assist us in the preparation of our financial statements to ensure that these financial statements are prepared in conformity with GAAP. We will continue to monitor the effectiveness of this action and make any changes that our management deems appropriate.
We would need to hire additional staff to provide greater segregation of duties. Currently, it is not feasible to hire additional staff to obtain optimal segregation of duties. Management will continue to reassess this matter to determine whether improvement in segregation of duty is feasible. In addition, we would need to expand our board to include independent members.
Going forward, we intend to evaluate our processes and procedures and, where practicable and resources permit, implement changes in order to have more effective controls over financial reporting.
This Annual 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 the exemption provided to issuers that are not "large accelerated filers" nor "accelerated filers" under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our fourth fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 10. Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance
The following table sets forth the names and ages of the member of our Board of Director and our executive officers and the positions held by each.
David Lazar, 29, has been CEO and Chairman of the Company since May 16, 2018. David Lazar is a private investor with business experience. Mr. Lazar has been a partner at Zenith Partners International since 2013, where he specializes in research and development, sales and marketing. From 2014 through 2015, David was the Chief Executive Officer of Dico, Inc., which was then sold to Peekay Boutiques. Since February of 2018, Mr. Lazar has been the managing member of Custodian Ventures LLC, where he specializes in assisting distressed public companies. Since March 2018, David has acted as the managing member of Activist Investing LLC, which specializes in active investing in distressed public companies. David has a diverse knowledge of financial, legal and operations management; public company management, accounting, audit preparation, due diligence reviews and SEC regulations. David Lazar is also the sole officer and director of Guozi Zhongyu Capital Holdings (formerly, Melt, Inc.) and Cang Bao Tian Xia International Art Trade Center, Inc. (formerly, Zhongchai Machinery, Inc.), both of which are blank check companies.
Other expertise includes early stage company capital restructuring, debt financing, capital introductions, and mergers and acquisitions.
Mr. Lazar was selected to serve as a director due to his knowledge of the capital markets, his judgment in assessing business strategies and accompanying risks, and his expertise with emerging growth companies. David Lazar is the Company’s sole promoter.
Our director holds office until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until his successors have been duly elected and qualified. There are no agreements with respect to the election of directors. We do not compensate our directors. Officers are appointed annually by the Board of Directors and each executive officer serves at the discretion of the Board of Directors. We do not have any standing committees at this time.
Our director, officer or affiliates have not, within the past five years, filed any bankruptcy petition, been convicted in or been the subject of any pending criminal proceedings, or is any such person the subject or any order, judgment or decree involving the violation of any state or federal securities laws.
Term of Office
Our directors are appointed for a one-year term to hold office until the next annual general meeting of our stockholders or until removed from office in accordance with our bylaws. Our officers are appointed by our Board of Directors and holds office until removed by the Board of Directors.
Family Relationships
There are no family relationships between any of our directors or executive officers.
Involvement in Legal Proceedings
To our knowledge, there have been no material legal proceedings that would require disclosure under the federal securities laws that are material to an evaluation of the ability of our director or executive officers.
Potential Conflicts of Interest
We are not aware of any current or potential conflicts of interest with our director or executive officers.
Board Committees
We have not formed an Audit Committee, Compensation Committee or Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee as of the filing of this Annual Report. Our Board of Directors performs the principal functions of an Audit Committee. We currently do not have an audit committee financial expert on our Board of Directors. We believe that an audit committee financial expert is not required because the cost of hiring an audit committee financial expert to act as one of our directors and to be a member of an Audit Committee outweighs the benefits of having an audit committee financial expert at this time.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors, officers and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC and are required to furnish us with copies of these reports. Based solely on our review of the reports filed with the SEC, we believe that no persons subject to Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act timely filed all required reports in 2019.
Code of Ethics
We currently do not have a code of ethics that applies to our officers, employees and director, including our Chief Executive Officer, however, we are in the process of formulating a code of ethics and intend to adopt one in the near future.
Item 11.
Item 11. Executive Compensation
No executive compensation was paid during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017. The Company has no employment agreement with any of its officers and directors.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
During the fiscal years of 2019 and 2018, we did not have a standing compensation committee. Our board of directors was responsible for the functions that would otherwise be handled by the compensation committee. The sole director conducted deliberations concerning executive officer compensation, including directors who were also executive officers. David Lazar, as our sole director, has authority and discretion to determine his own compensation for serving as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the shareholders and the board of directors of Shentang International, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Shentang International, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (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, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
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 audit. 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 audit 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 audit 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 audit 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company’s significant operating losses raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Note 1 - Organization and basis of accounting
Basis of Presentation and Organization
Shentang International, Inc. (“we” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on June 29, 2007. We were an exploration-stage company engaged in the exploration of mineral resource properties.
On July 22, 2009, Shentang International conducted a 1-to-10 stock split (the “Stock Split”) of the issued and outstanding common stock, so the Company’s issued and outstanding shares increased from 1,670,000 to 16,700,000 with par value of $0.001. Immediately after the Stock Split on July 22, 2009, Shentang International entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Boom Spring, the shareholders of Boom Spring, and Shengtang. Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, the shareholders of Boom Spring transferred to Shentang International all of the equity interest of Boom Spring in exchange for 12,000,000 outstanding shares of Shentang International and 33,300,000 newly issued shares of Shentang International (the “Share Exchange”). As a result of the Share Exchange, Boom Spring became a wholly owned subsidiary of Shentang International and Shentang International became a holding company with issued and outstanding common stock of 50,000,000 with par value of $0.001.
Pursuant to a board resolution dated October 21, 2009, the Company increased its authorized number of common stock from 50,000,000 to 190,000,000, and conducted a 2-for-5 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of the issued and outstanding common stock. After the Reverse Stock Split, the Company’s issued and outstanding shares changed from 50,000,000 to 20,000,000 with par value of $0.001 effective on October 21, 2009. This reverse stock split also give retroactive effect in the balance sheet as of December 31, 2008 and the computation of basic and diluted EPS is adjusted retroactively for all period presented accordingly.
Hereinafter, Shentang International, Boom Spring and Shengtang are collectively referred to as the “Company”.
The Company had exclusive use of the core technologies, including hollow/solid glass processing technology, pure manual glass rod processing technology, wire processing technology and painting processing technology. It developed “Yi Fan Feng Shun” liquor vessel with the brand of Wu Liang Ye. The Company was engaged in expanding in the international market. The Company also planned to build or acquire its own production capacity to meet the demand in the domestic Chinese market by purchasing or acquiring new equipment of machine-made glass producing. The objective of the Company was to become a large-scaled glass craftwork supplier and further develop its innovational technology.
On May 11, 2018, the eight judicial District Court of Nevada appointed Custodian Ventures, LLC as custodian for Shentang International Inc., proper notice having been given to the officers and directors of Shentang International, Inc. There was no opposition.
On May 16, 2018, the Company filed a certificate of revival with the state of Nevada, appointing David Lazar as, President, Secretary, Treasurer and Director.
On July 2, 2018, the Company terminated its registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
On August 2, 2018, the Company filed a Form 10-12G, which went effective on October 1, 2018.
On November 19, 2019, the Company board of directors determined that it is their best interest to redeem the 27,000,000 shares of common stock, held by David Lazar in exchange for services valued at $1,400,000. In addition, the company elected to cancel and return to the shareholder the promissory note dated May 31, 2018 in the amount of $7,500 including interest. The company shall also pay the additional amount of $19,168.97 by issuance of a promissory note.
The accompanying financial statements are prepared on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Company is a development stage enterprise devoting substantial efforts to establishing a new business, financial planning, raising capital, and research into products which may become part of the Company’s product portfolio. The Company has not realized significant sales through since inception. A development stage company is defined as one in which all efforts are devoted substantially to establishing a new business and, even if planned principal operations have commenced, revenues are insignificant.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and is dependent on debt and equity financing to fund its operations. Management of the Company is making efforts to raise additional funding until a registration statement relating to an equity funding facility is in effect. While management of the Company believes that it will be successful in its capital formation and planned operating activities, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise additional equity capital, or be successful in the development and commercialization of the products it develops or initiates collaboration agreements thereon. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
Note 2 - Summary of significant accounting policies
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of reporting within the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all cash on hand, cash accounts not subject to withdrawal restrictions or penalties, and all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. The historical cost of acquiring an item of property and equipment includes the costs necessarily incurred to bring it to the condition and location necessary for its intended use.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. Under FASB ASC Topic 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the bases of certain assets and liabilities for income tax and financial reporting purposes. The deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified according to the financial statement classification of the assets and liabilities generating the differences.
The Company maintains a valuation allowance with respect to deferred tax assets. The Company establishes a valuation allowance based upon the potential likelihood of realizing the deferred tax asset and taking into consideration the Company’s financial position and results of operations for the current period. Future realization of the deferred tax benefit depends on the existence of sufficient taxable income within the carry-forward period under the Federal tax laws.
Changes in circumstances, such as the Company generating taxable income, could cause a change in judgment about the reliability of the related deferred tax asset. Any change in the valuation allowance will be included in income in the year of the change in estimate.
Fair Value Measurement
The Company values its convertible notes and amounts due to related partings and short term loans payable under FASB ASC 820 which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable. The Company classifies fair value balances based on the observability of those inputs. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurement).
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1 - Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Level 1 primarily consists of financial instruments such as exchange-traded derivatives, marketable securities and listed equities.
Level 2 - Valuations for assets and liabilities that can be obtained from readily available pricing sources via independent providers for market transactions involving similar assets or liabilities. The Company’s principal markets for these securities are the secondary institutional markets, and valuations are based on observable market data in those markets.
Level 3 - Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value. The Company uses Level 3 to value its derivative instruments.
Employee Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718 Compensation - Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). ASC 718 addresses all forms of share-based payment (“SBP”) awards including shares issued under employee stock purchase plans and stock incentive shares.

Estimates
The financial statements are prepared on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and expenses for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, and cumulative from inception. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management.
Subsequent Event
The Company evaluated subsequent events through the date when financial statements are issued for disclosure consideration.
Adoption of Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standards update for leases. The ASU introduces a lessee model that brings most leases on the balance sheet. The new standard also aligns many of the underlying principles of the new lessor model with those in the current accounting guidance as well as the FASB’s new revenue recognition standard. However, the ASU eliminates the use of bright-line tests in determining lease classification as required in the current guidance. The ASU also requires additional qualitative disclosures along with specific quantitative disclosures to better enable users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The pronouncement is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, for nonpublic entities using a modified retrospective approach. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is still evaluating the impact that the new accounting guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures and has not yet determined the method by which it will adopt the standard.
Note 3 - Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and is dependent on debt and equity financing to fund its operations. Management of the Company is making efforts to raise additional funding until a registration statement relating to an equity funding facility is in effect. While management of the Company believes that it will be successful in its capital formation and planned operating activities, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise additional equity capital or be successful in the development and commercialization of the products it develops or initiates collaboration agreements thereon. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
Note 4 - Discontinued Operations
The Company has fully impaired all assets since the shutdown of its operations in 2009 and has recorded the effects of this impairment as part of its discontinued operations. With the absence of a substantial amount of the old records and the passage of the statute of limitations the company has recorded a discontinued operations expense in 2017 the most current year since operations shutdown based on the accumulated records obtained to date through the second quarter 2018.

Note 8 - Income Taxes
The Company provides for income taxes under FASB ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. FASB ASC 740 requires the use of an asset and liability approach in accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in effect currently.
FASB ASC 740 requires the reduction of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance, if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In the Company’s opinion, it is uncertain whether they will generate sufficient taxable income in the future to fully utilize the net deferred tax asset. Accordingly, a valuation allowance equal to the deferred tax asset has been recorded. The total deferred tax asset is $2,473 which is calculated by multiplying a 21% estimated tax rate by the cumulative net operating loss (NOL) adjusted for the following items:
Details for the last period are as follows:
Below is a chart showing the estimated corporate federal net operating loss (NOL) and the year in which it will expire. The total NOL carry forward as of December 31, 2018 was $8,481 as itemized below:

Accordingly, management has evaluated subsequent events through February 12, 2020, and has determined that there were no subsequent events, requiring adjustment to, or disclosure in, the financial statements.
