Revenue from Contracts with Customers

NOTE 2 - REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS

 

The Company’s revenue consists of revenue from providing business consulting and corporate advisory services (“service revenue”), revenue from the sale of real estate properties, and revenue from the rental of real estate properties.

 

Revenue from services

 

For certain service contracts, we assist or provide advisory to clients in capital market listings (“Listing services”), our services provided to clients are considered as one performance obligation. Revenue and expenses are deferred until the performance obligation is complete and collectability of the consideration is probable. For service contracts where the performance obligation is not completed, deferred costs of revenue are recorded as incurred and deferred revenue is recorded for any payments received on such yet to be completed performance obligations. On an ongoing basis, management monitors these contracts for profitability and when needed may record a liability if a determination is made that costs will exceed revenue.

 

For other services such as company secretarial, accounting, financial analysis, insurance brokerage services, and other related services (“Non-listing services”), the Company’s performance obligations are satisfied, and the related revenue is recognized, as services are rendered. For contracts in which we act as an agent, the Company reports revenue net of expenses paid.

 

The Company offers no discounts, rebates, rights of return, or other allowances to clients which would result in the establishment of reserves against service revenue. Additionally, to date, the Company has not incurred incremental costs in obtaining a client contract.

  

Revenue from the sale of real estate properties

 

The Company follows the guidance of ASC 610-20, Other Income - Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (“ASC 610-20”), which applies to sales or transfers to noncustomers of nonfinancial assets. Generally, the Company’s sales of its real estate properties are considered a sale of a nonfinancial asset. Under ASC 610-20, the Company derecognizes the asset and recognizes a gain or loss on the sale of the real estate when control of the underlying asset transfers to the buyer. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized revenue from the sale of one and eight units, respectively, of commercial property held for sale.

 

Revenue from the rental of real estate properties

 

Rental revenue represents lease rental income from the Company’s tenants. The tenants pay monthly in accordance with lease agreements and the Company recognizes the income ratably over the lease term as this is the most representative of the pattern in which the benefit is expected to be derived from the underlying asset.

 

Cost of revenues

 

Cost of service revenue primarily consists of employee compensation and related payroll benefits, company formation costs, and other professional fees directly attributable to the services rendered.

 

Cost of real estate properties sold primarily consists of the purchase price of property, legal fees, improvement costs to the building structure, and other acquisition costs. Selling and advertising costs are expensed as incurred.

 

Cost of rental revenue primarily includes costs associated with repairs and maintenance, property insurance, depreciation and other related administrative costs. Property management fees and utility expenses are paid directly by tenants.
