NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2024
Note 1: Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization
New Asia Holdings, Inc. (previously known as DM Products, Inc., Midwest E.S.W.T. Corp, and Effective Sport Nutrition Corporation) (the “Company,” “we” or “our”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 1, 2001. In December 2014, the Company underwent a change in control where approximately
We offer trading software solutions to clients on the basis of a “Software as a Service (SaaS)” licensing and delivery model with licensed users availing themselves of service-based contractual arrangements. In addition, and consistent with the requirements of the United States federal securities laws, we may utilize our in-house proprietary neural trading models to trade our own funds, thus providing added value to our shareholders.
Algorithms were placed into commercial operation in November 2015 upon the execution of a Software Licensing Agreement for the deployment of the proprietary trainable, trading algorithms of Magdallen Quant Pte. Ltd. (“MQL”), with New Asia Momentum Limited (“NAML”), a company owned and controlled by NAHD’s Chairman and CEO, Dr. Lin Kok Peng. Under the terms of the Software License Agreement, NAML agreed to pay MQL a license fee and certain other fixed and time and materials fees. In 2019, Momentum assets under management (“AUM”) were returned to its investors by NAML.
As a result of poor performance by the Company’s algorithms, over the last several quarters the Company has been focusing on developing new business opportunities, including exploring potential new technology solutions and/or acquisition. In February 2023, the Company officially dissolved Magdallen Quant Pte Ltd and the License Agreement with NAML has been also terminated.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim period presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal period, as reported in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the most recent fiscal year, as filed with the SEC on May 16, 2024, have been omitted.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. We considered the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our estimates and assumptions and there was not a material impact to our unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2024; however, actual results could differ from those estimates and there may be changes to our estimates in future periods.
Note 2: Going Concern
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has sustained substantial losses, has a working capital deficit and is in need of additional capital to grow its operations so that it can become profitable. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
In view of these matters, the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon growth of revenues and the ability of the Company to raise additional capital. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates, and projections about our industry, management beliefs, and certain assumptions made by our management. Words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” variations of such words, and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that are difficult to predict; therefore, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in any such forward-looking statements. Unless required by law, we undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. However, readers should carefully review the risk factors set forth in other reports and documents that we file from time to time with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), particularly the Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and any Current Reports on Form 8-K, as the same may be amended from time to time.
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by, the unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Overview
Since December 24, 2014, New Asia Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Company" or "NAHD"), has been developing and deploying its proprietary, neural trading models for the financial community. We offered trading software solutions to clients based on a software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) licensing and delivery models with licensed users availing themselves of service-based contractual arrangements. As a result of poor performance by the Company’s Algorithms, over the last several quarters the Company has been focusing on developing new business opportunities, including exploring potential new acquisitions. The Algorithm assets were housed under NAHD’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Magdallen Quant Pte Ltd (MQL) and as a result of long-standing poor performance and consistent with the emphasis on developing new business opportunities, the Company decided to officially dissolve MQL, effective February 2, 2023.
The Company's products capitalized the large volume of the 24-hour Forex markets to achieve capital appreciation over a medium- to long-term basis, combined with the usage of a good wealth vehicle designed to control risk, profit from both bull or bear markets, and maximize liquidity and economic resilience.
Our proprietary trading models were developed by a team of professional engineers in communications, electronic circuitry design and financial engineering. This diverse team is the key factor in our successful development of non-traditional and innovative trading models. Our systems were designed to take intelligent positions as the market moves/changes and, upon development, our systems were to bring a rigorously tested track-record.
The Company’s systems were designed to adapt themselves and to take intelligent positions as the market moves/changes. The models were subjected to rigorous testing akin to the volatile trading environment of major financial events/crises that have happened in recent history. These models were also programmed to have the ability to learn and adapt new manners of trading, effectively translating the human behavioral of trading into a predictive science. The Company’s quantitative strategies and proprietary algorithmic trading system were developed to generate risk adjustable returns for its licensees and their clients.
Since 2016, the Company's focus has been to license its algorithm to licensees, regulated funds and banks to capitalize on the large volume of the 24-hour Forex markets to achieve capital appreciation over a medium- to long- term basis, combined with the usage of a good wealth vehicle designed to control risk, profit from both bull or bear markets, and maximize liquidity and economic resilience.
On August 25, 2015, the Company entered into a Sale and Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Anthony Ng Zi Qin, pursuant to which the Company acquired Magdallen Quant Pte Ltd (“MQL”). The MQL acquisition was accomplished through a share exchange with Anthony Ng Zi Qin of 7,422,000 restricted shares of common stock of the Company ("Consideration Shares"), with a value of $0.41 per share, and an aggregate fair value of $3,043,020, in exchange for the entire issued and outstanding capital of MQL held by Mr. Anthony Ng Zi Qin, consisting of 8,000,100 shares of stock issued at par value of SGD 1.00 per share, or $0.714 on the acquisition date.
9
On August 19, 2016, the Company and Anthony Ng Zi Qin entered into an Addendum (the “First MQL Addendum”) to the Purchase Agreement to extend the August 25, 2016, anniversary date for the adjustment of issued shares for an additional period of 12 months. On November 10, 2017, the Company and Anthony Ng Zi Qin signed an Addendum (the “Second MQL Addendum”) to the Purchase Agreement, as amended, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue an aggregate of 3,339,900 shares of common stock, in satisfaction of the shortfall in the value of the shares issued. These shares were issued on December 12, 2017 in full satisfaction of the aforementioned contingent liability. The Purchase Agreement, as amended, is referred to herein as the “MQL Acquisition Agreement.”
The algorithms were placed into commercial operation in November 2015 upon the execution of a Software Licensing Agreement (the “MQL License Agreement”) between and New Asia Momentum Limited (“NAML”), a company owned and controlled by Dr. Lin Kok Peng, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chairman of the Board. Under the terms of the MQL License Agreement, MQL agreed to license its proprietary trainable, trading algorithms to NAML in exchange for payment of a license fee and certain other fixed and time and materials fees. Pursuant to the terms of the MQL License Agreement, MQL licensed its proprietary trainable, trading algorithms. NAML, in turn, offered these proprietary, trainable, algorithm trading software solutions to broker-dealers, banks, funds and other clients based on a SaaS licensing and delivery model, with sub-licensed users availing themselves of service-based contractual arrangements. NAML was required to pay MQL royalty fees equal to 20% of the trading profits achieved by the SaaS contract agreements that NAML executed with its clients. The targeted geographic market was Asia, with an initial emphasis on Singapore, Hong Kong, Indonesia, and Australia. From 2015 to 2017, NAML grew its retail assets under management (“AUM”) from zero to approximately $2.5 million.
In conjunction with the expansion into the regulated fund and bank model, NAML decided to ask its clients to redeem the AUM and as of September 30, 2017, trading on the AUM was terminated.
The Company initiated its focus on the regulated bank and fund model in 2017 with the launch of the Feuris Fund A with AUM of approximately $6.67 million. Because the risk profiles required by these regulated funds and banks reflect a lower level of risk, there was a significantly reduced frequency of trading activities. As of September 30, 2019, due to market conditions that impacted trading frequencies and volumes, NAML liquidated the Feuris Fund A and returned the AUM to the investors.
The MQL License Agreement remained in place till the termination of all MQL business activities, effectively in the Fourth Quarter of 2022 and completely terminated upon the dissolution of MQL in February 2023.
As of the First Quarter 2023, operations of MQL were effectively terminated and in February 2023, the Company officially dissolved MQL. Based on an agreement confirmed via a written confirmation by NAMPL, MQL’s debt to NAMPL of $16,475.16 was cancelled. The Company, in its efforts to expand its business, is currently involved in the development of new business opportunities, including the following:
·In April 2023, the Company signed a Letter of Intent related to a potential acquisition of a company involved in a manufacturing utilizing additive technologies to deliver parts on-demand. This LOI expired and no actions were taken in relation to a transaction.
·In March 2024, the Company signed an LOI with a company involved in Oil and Gas energy activities and the discussions are actively ongoing. On April 16, 2024, New Asia Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) by and between the Company, Olenox Corp., a Wyoming corporation (“Olenox”), and Marble Trital Inc., as the sole shareholder of Olenox (the “Shareholder”). Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, the Company agreed to acquire from the Shareholder all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Olenox in exchange for the issuance by the Company to the Shareholder of 224,305,833 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company. The Exchange Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and other agreements by and between the parties thereto.
.
10
The Company will provide an update on these potential activities, if and when they materialize.
The Company is doing its best to provide the basis for improved performance in the coming quarters, however, there is no guarantee that such new products and product improvements will translate to improved financial performance.
The Company generated no revenues during the nine months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.
As described above, the commercial business associated with the licensing of the algorithm products has not materialized and the Company is pursuing new applications of the products that would not involve trading and other new business activities.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 Compared to the Three Months March 31, 2023
Revenues
We had no revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively. MQL has been dissolved and the License Agreement between MQL and NAML has been terminated and the Company is focusing on the development of expanded new business solutions as described above.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses were $40,136 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, consisting of $5,011 of general and administrative expenses, $8,401 of outside service expenses, and $26,724 of professional fees. This compares with operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2023, of $57,150, consisting of $15,732 of general and administrative expenses, $8,401 of outside service expenses, and $33,017 of professional fees. The operating expenses for the three-month period ended March 31,2024, were lower than the operating expenses for the corresponding period in 2023 because expenses associated with General and Administrative services and professional fees were lower.
Net Loss
As a result of the foregoing, we had a net loss of $40,136 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to a net loss of $57,150 for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We had cash in the amount of $1,827 and $19,474 at March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, respectively. To date, we have funded our operations from advances from our principal shareholder, Lin Kok Peng. Dr. Lin Kok Peng, our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Chairman of the Board, also has voting and dispositive control over the shares of the Company’s common stock.
We do not have sufficient capital to sustain our operations for the next 12 months. We expect to continue to rely on advances from our principal shareholder, as well as from other sources of financing, including additional private placements of our common shares in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to existing stockholders. There is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of equity securities or that we will be able to arrange for debt or other financing to fund our operations and other activities. We do not have any oral or written agreements with Lin Kok Peng which would require Lin Kok Peng to fund our operations.
During the three-month period ended March 31, 2024, Lin Kok Peng advanced $24,000 to the Company. The total advances due to Lin Kok Peng are $1,052,704 and $1,028,704 as of March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively. As of March 31, 2024, the advances constitute unsecured interest-free loans to the Company.
On August 14, 2020, the Company signed an Agreement with NAHL. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, all funds advanced to the Company by NAHL up to August 14, 2020 (the “Prior Advances”) will continue to constitute an interest-free loan to the Company, which was due and payable by the Company to NAHL on or before September 15, 2020 (the “Prior Advance Repayment Date”, which may be extended as set forth below). If the Company does not repay the Prior Advances by the Prior Advance Repayment Date, NAHL, at its sole discretion, will have the option to extend the Prior Advance Repayment Date or convert all or a portion of the Prior Advances into Common Stock at a conversion price of $0.003 per share (the “Prior Advance Conversion Price”), subject to adjustment as set forth in the Agreement. NAHL’s election to extend the Prior Advance Repayment Date or to convert the Prior Advances into Common Stock shall be made on the first business day following the Prior Advance Repayment Date. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Prior Advances shall not be convertible into Common Stock prior to the Prior Advance Repayment Date.

Following the Effective Date, NAHL was to endeavor, on a best efforts’ basis, to continue to advance operating funds to the Company as may be required and requested by the Company for its operations, for a period of at least through December 31, 2020 (such additional advances, as funded, the “Additional Advances” and, together with the Prior Advances, the “Advances”). Any such Additional Advances were to be due and payable by the Company to NAHL on or before January 31, 2021 (as the same may be extended as set forth below, the “Additional Advance Repayment Date”). In the event that any Additional Advances were made and were not repaid by the Additional Advance Repayment Date, NAHL, at its sole discretion, would have the option to extend the Additional Advance Repayment Date or convert all or a portion of the Additional Advances into Common Stock at a conversion price of $0.003 per share (the “Additional Advance Conversion Price”), subject to adjustment as set forth in the Agreement. NAHL’s election to extend the Additional Advance Repayment Date or to convert the Additional Advances into Common Stock shall be made on the first business day following the Additional Advance Repayment Date. The Parties acknowledge and agree that any Additional Advances shall not be convertible into Common Stock prior to the Additional Advance Repayment Date.
On January 5, 2021, the shares of the Company’s stock under the name of NAHL were changed to Lin Kok Peng, as an individual, at the request of the owner of NAHD, Lin Kok Peng and NAHL was closed.
As of March 31, 2024, Dr. Lin Kok Peng had not exercised his option to convert the advances into shares of common stock. Accordingly, the total of $1,052,704 in advances remained as an unsecured interest-free loan to the Company as of March 31, 2024.
Through March 31, 2024, Lin Kok Peng has continued to advance operating funds to the Company totaling $1,060,704 and may be expected to continue to advance such operating funds in the future. In August 2020, NAHL informed the Company that the previous terms of the prior agreement had not reflected the level of risk that NAHL has taken in effecting these advances over the years. Therefore, on August 14, 2020, the Company and NAHL entered into an Agreement on Advances (the “Agreement”) wherein the Company and NAHL agreed as follows. On January 5, 2021, Lin Kok Peng decided to change his ownership of the Company from NAHL to his own Name (Lin Kok Peng) and thus all prior agreements executed between the Company and NAHL remain fully in effect:
·All funds that have been advanced to the Company by NAHL up to August 14, 2020 (the “Prior Advances”) will continue to constitute an interest-free loan to the Company, which will be due and payable by the Company to NAHL on or before September 15, 2020. If the Company does not repay the Prior Advances by that date NAHL will have the right to extend that date for repayment or to convert all or a portion of the Prior Advances into Common Stock at a conversion price of $0.003 per share.
·Following August 14, 2020, NAHL will endeavor, on a best efforts’ basis, to continue to advance operating funds to the Company as may be required and requested by the Company for its operations, for a period of at least through December 31, 2020 (such additional advances, as funded, the “Additional Advances”). Any such Additional Advances were due and payable by the Company to NAHL on or before January 31, 2021. In the event that any Additional Advances are made and are not repaid by such date, NAHL will have the right to extend that date for repayment or convert all or a portion of the Additional Advances into Common Stock at a conversion price of $0.003 per share.
·In the event that NAHL determines not to fund any Additional Advances, then conversion price for any Prior Advances made prior to January 1, 2020, will remain $0.003 per share but the conversion price with respect to any Prior Advances made after January 1, 2020 will be $0.01 per share.
·The conversion prices as set forth above are subject to customary adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and other customary events which occur following August 14, 2020.
·On January 5, 2021, the shares of the Company’s stock under the name of NAHL were changed to Lin Kok Peng, as an individual, at the request of the owner of NAHD, Lin Kok Peng and NAHL was closed.
We expect to incur losses and negative operating cash flows in the foreseeable future, and we may never become profitable. We also expect to continue to incur significant operating and capital expenditures for the next several years and anticipate that our expenses will increase substantially in the foreseeable future. We also expect to experience negative cash flow in the foreseeable future as we fund our operating losses and capital expenditures.
As a result, we will need to generate significant revenues to achieve and maintain profitability. We may not be able to generate these revenues or achieve profitability in the future. Our failure to achieve or maintain profitability could negatively impact the value of our common stock.
We have no agreements to obtain funds through bank loans, lines of credit or any other traditional sources. Since we have no financing committed, our inability to realize financing to maintain operations and grow our business would materially restrict our business operations. Future financing may not be available upon acceptable terms, or at all. Should we be successful in securing future financing, new issuances of equity or convertible debt (i) would dilute our current shareholders, possibly significantly, (ii) might require a significant increase to our authorized stock, and (iii) might have rights, preferences, or privileges senior to our common or preferred
12
stock. If financing is not available to us on favorable terms, such severe limitation might cause us to consider another consolidation of existing common equity at any time to attract financing and maintain our business.
Due to the uncertainty of our ability to meet our current operating and capital expenses and the fact that we have suffered recurring losses from operations and have a net capital deficiency, in their report on our audited annual financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2023, and 2022, our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. Recurring losses from operations raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The presence of the going concern explanatory paragraph may have an adverse impact on the relationships we are developing and plan to develop with third parties as we continue the commercialization of our products and could make it challenging and difficult for us to raise additional financing, all of which could have a material adverse impact on our business and prospects and result in a significant or complete loss of your investment.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). U.S. GAAP requires the use of estimates, assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenue and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures including information regarding contingencies, risks and financial condition. We believe our use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to U.S. GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements.
Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 1 in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the most recent fiscal year, as filed with the SEC. While all these significant accounting policies impact our financial condition and results of operations, we view certain of these policies as critical. Policies determined to be critical are those policies that have the most significant impact on our financial statements and require management to use a greater degree of judgment and estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Our management believes that given current facts and circumstances, it is unlikely that applying any other reasonable judgments or estimate methodologies would cause effect on our results of operations, financial position or liquidity for the periods presented in this report.
Related Parties
The Company follows the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 850, “Related Party Disclosures,” for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions. See Note 4.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and are not required to provide the information under this item.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management conducted an evaluation as of March 31, 2024, with the participation of Mr. Lin Kok Peng, who is our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the size and nature of the existing business operations. Given the size of our current operations and existing personnel, the opportunity to implement internal control procedures that segregate accounting duties and responsibilities is limited. Until the organization can increase in size to warrant an increase in personnel, formal internal control procedures will not be implemented until they can be effectively executed and monitored. As a result of the size of the current organization, there will not be significant levels of supervision, review, independent directors nor a formal audit committee.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 that occurred during the last fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

There are no proceedings in which our director, officer or any affiliates, or any registered or beneficial shareholder of more than 5% of our outstanding common stock, is an adverse party or has a material interest averse to our interest.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
As a smaller reporting company, the Company is not required to disclose material changes to the risk factors that were contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.
