REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
Logicquest Technology, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Logicquest Technology, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 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 of America.
Going Concern Matter
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 has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Companys financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1.
ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Logicquest Technology, Inc. (we, our, the Company") is a Nevada Corporation that previously consisted of the networking service (carrier/circuit) business. It provided internet connectivity to corporate clients on a subscription basis; essentially operating as a value added provider until it ceased operations effective June 30, 2014.
The Company was originally incorporated as Solis Communications, Inc. on July 23, 2001 and adopted a name change to Crescent Communications Inc. upon completion of a reverse acquisition of Berens Industries, Inc. In 2004, we changed our name to Bluegate Corporation (Bluegate). On March 19, 2015, we changed our name to Logicquest Technology, Inc. (Logicquest).
Following is a summary of the Company's significant accounting policies:
SIGNIFICANT ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods. Actual results could differ from estimates making it reasonably possible that a change in the estimates could occur in the near term.
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
A related party is generally defined as (i) any person that holds 10% or more of the Companys securities and their immediate families, (ii) the Companys management, (iii) someone that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the Company, or (iv) anyone who can significantly influence the financial and operating decisions of the Company. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
For certain of the Companys financial instruments, including prepaid expenses and other current assets and accrued liabilities, the carrying amounts approximate fair values due to their short maturities.
Transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm's-length basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, free-market dealings may not exist. Representations about transactions with related parties, if made, shall not imply that the related party transactions were consummated on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm's-length transactions unless such representations can be substantiated.
It is not, however, practical to determine the fair value of amounts due to related parties and lease and management arrangement with related parties, if any, due to their related party nature.
INCOME TAXES
The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect the tax consequences on future years of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial amounts at year-end. The Company provides a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to their net realizable value.

LOGICQUEST TECHNOLOGY, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED
The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such positions are then measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Accounting Standard 718, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (ASC 718) established financial accounting and reporting standards for stock-based employee compensation plans. It defines a fair value based method of accounting for an employee stock option or similar equity instrument. ASC 718 requires companies to recognize in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity based compensation. The Company accounts for compensation cost for stock option plans in accordance with ASC 718.
The Company accounts for share based compensation to non-employees in accordance with Accounting Standard 505-50 Accounting for Equity Instruments Issued to Non-Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services. The final measurement date for the fair value of equity instruments with performance criteria is the date that each performance commitment for such equity instrument is satisfied or there is a significant disincentive for non-performance.
LOSS PER SHARE
Basic and diluted net loss per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. The Company does not have any potentially dilutive instruments for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017. Accordingly, basic and diluted losses per share were identical for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02,
Leases (Topic 842)
. Under ASU 2016-02, lessees will be required to recognize all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date including a lease liability, which is a lessees obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and a right-of-use (ROU) asset, which is an asset that represents the lessees right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term.
Lessees (for capital and operating leases) must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The modified retrospective approach would not require any transition accounting for leases that expired before the earliest comparative period presented. Lessees may not apply a full retrospective transition approach. Leases with a term of twelve months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases. In December 2017, January 2018, July 2018 and December 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2017-13, ASU 2018-01, ASU 2018-10 & 11 and ASU 2018-20 respectively, which contain modifications and improvements to ASU 2016-02. The amendments provide entities with an additional (and optional) transition method to adopt the new leases standard. Entities that elect to utilize the Optional Transition Method would not apply the provision of ASU No. 2016-02, as amended, to comparative periods presented in the financial statements.
The standard will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the standard effective January 1, 2019, utilizing the Optional Transition Method. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Companys balance sheets and statements of operations.

LOGICQUEST TECHNOLOGY, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED
These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements contained herein do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue in existence. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate sufficient cash flows to meet our obligations on a timely basis, to obtain additional financing as may be required, and ultimately to attain profitable operations. However, there is no assurance that profitable operations or sufficient cash flows will occur in the future.
Our current operations are primarily funded by Logicquest Technology Limited, a company controlled by the Companys Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Cheng Yew Siong.

INCOME TAXES
On December 22, 2017 U.S. tax reform legislation known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the 2017 Act) was signed into law. The 2017 Act made substantial changes to U.S. tax law, including a reduction in the corporate tax rate from 34% to 21%, a limitation on deductibility of interest expense, a limitation on the use of net operating losses to offset future taxable income, the allowance of immediate expensing of capital expenditures, deemed repatriation of foreign earnings through a transition tax and significant changes to the taxation of foreign earnings going forward. These provisions are effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017.
The composition of deferred tax assets at December 31, 2018 and 2017 were as follows:

The difference between the income tax benefit in the accompanying statement of operations and the amount that would result if the U.S. Federal statutory rate of 21% were applied to pre-tax loss for 2018 and 2017, is attributable to the valuation allowance.
At December 31, 2018, for federal income tax reporting purposes, the Company has $9,669,000 in unused net operating losses available for carryforward to future years which will expire in various years through 2038.
