UMTang
UMTang is an “Uber-like” tutoring platform, that matches qualified teachers with K-12 students. The Company has identified the un-standardized, home-based, K-6 noon-care and after-school tutoring sector as UMTang’s entry target for this market. The Chinese K-6 school system requires students to leave school premises between noon and 2:30PM for a lunch break, with school then continuing until 4:30PM. According to market research, 40% of K-6 students require some sort of noon-care and/or after-school tutoring services, currently provided by independently operated, home-based, non-standardized centres. A typical home-based noon-care, tutoring centre services 10 students, earning an average of US$2,000 per month. Each UMTang centre serves students in a standardized setting, offering many unique services and features including a centralized payment settlement system, real-time monitoring by parents, daily behavioural reports, weekly assessment reports, collaborative teaching and the proprietary online learning tools of UMFun. The Company believes UMTang will set a very high standard of service in this market sector that current independent operators will be unable to match. Furthermore, The Company’s market research indicates that parents will be willing to pay a premium for the upgraded environment and learning features that UMTang offers.

Liquidity and capital resources
As at June 30, 2017 the Company had a working capital deficiency of $1,489,627 as compared to a working capital deficiency of $994,314 as at June 30, 2016.
Since inception, we have financed operations primarily from the issuance of Common Stock. We expect to continue Common Stock issuances and issuance of promissory notes to fund our ongoing activities.
We currently do not have sufficient resources to carry out our entire business strategy. Therefore, we will need to raise additional capital to fund our operations sometime in the future. We cannot be certain that any financing will be available when needed. Any additional equity financings will be dilutive to our existing stockholders, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants on our business and also the issuance of warrants or conversion features which may further dilute our existing stockholders.
We expect to continue to spend capital on:
1. | development, sales and marketing activities related to UMFun, our digital education platform; |
2. | expansion into the English language training business; and |
3. | expansion into noon-care & after school tutoring business. |
The inability to raise capital would have a material adverse effect on the Company.
Internal control over financial reporting
During the three-month period ended June 30, 2017, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
