On August 23, 2018, Sunway Kids established its wholly owned subsidiary, Brave Millenium Limited (“Brave Millenium”) under the laws of Hong Kong.

Summary of Business
Sunway Kids is an education and health service provider to day-care and preschools in China. Sunway Kids has a highly skilled professional team experienced in early childhood development. It provides a well-structured system for early childhood education, including AI and robotic technologies, intellectual campus administration software as a service system (“SAAS system”) and online education courses for kids and parents. Sunway Kids provides personalized growth plans for each child based on the analysis of performance data. Sunway Kids helps schools in increasing their education quality as well as generating derivative revenues by providing targeted courses and AI lessons for kids. Sunway Kids’ ability to cooperate closely with various schools and research institutes in China has contributed to its significant position in the industry.
Sunway Kids has generated approximately $935,000 of revenue and $263,000 of net income as of December 31, 2019, although these numbers have not been audited by an accounting firm registered by PCAOB.
Management’s Plan for the Sunway Kids Business
With the introduction of the national two-child policy in China since 2015, the birth rate has been increasing and thus provides a guaranteed increase in opportunity for the preschool education industry. With the deepening of China’s economic reforms, the disposable income of urban residents has continued to increase. With the improvement of living standards of urban residents, families have become more willing to invest in education, training, and other services for their children starting at a young age, and at the same time have begun to attach more importance to the branding of the education. At present, China’s preschool education and intelligent education markets are highly fragmented, small in scale, independent, and loosely managed. Branding and franchising will therefore become the inevitable trend of development in the intelligent education industry.
The Company’s management believe these market conditions have created tremendous growth opportunity for the Sunway Kids business. Management expects to focus on expansion of the Sunway Kids business in light of the continuous revenue decline in the concrete business.
