Looks like classic self-dealing at GPIW, Far-East style
On June 27, 2018, Grand Perfecta, Inc. (the “Company”) completed a disposition of a substantial portion of its assets and operations through two transactions:
(1) A transfer of 100% of the common stock of Sports Perfecta, Inc., a California corporation and subsidiary of the Company (“SPI”), and a receivable representing a sum owing to the Company by SPI in the amount of JPY 185,540,908 to Neo Sports Ltd., a Japanese company (“Neo Sports”), in exchange for (a) 23,600,000 shares of Company common stock, (b) 100,000 shares of Company Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, and (c) an outstanding contract option right to purchase 3,000,000 shares of the common stock of Company at a price of $1.00 per share (the “SPI Transaction”); and
(2) A sale of 100% of the capital stock of Link Bit Consulting Co, Ltd., a Japanese company and subsidiary of the Company (“LBC”), to IS Digital Ltd., a Cayman Islands company (“ISD”) for $420,000 in cash, and a sale to ISD of a receivable representing a sum owing to the Company by LBC in the amount of JPY 8,089,625 for $80,000 in cash (the “LBC Transaction”).
After the foregoing transactions, the Company continues to own as subsidiaries WRN Co. Ltd., a Japanese company (“WRN”), and Umajin Hong Kong Ltd., a Hong Kong company (“UHK”). WRN is engaged in the business of publishing global horse racing information including upcoming races, race results, and detailed profiles of foreign jockeys who race in Japan at http://www.worldracenews.com. UHK delivered information on horse racing and soccer to its users until the end of June 2017, when it discontinued its service.
SPI Transaction
Neo Sports was formed for the purpose of acquiring SPI and to pursue other business opportunities. Shortly before the SPI Transaction, two unrelated third parties founded and contributed cash to Neo Sports in exchange for capital stock of Neo Sports. Also, shortly before the SPI Transaction, on June 25, 2018, Shuya Watanabe and Takashi Ozawa, both officers, directors, and principal stockholders of the Company, and Kazuaki Goto, a principal stockholder of the Company, acquired capital stock of Neo Sports by transferring to Neo Sports the following property:
(1) From Shuya Watanabe 14,000,000 shares of Company common stock and 100,000 shares of Company Series A Convertible Preferred Stock,
(2) From Takashi Ozawa 6,600,000 shares of Company common stock; and
(3) From Kazuaki Goto 3,000,000 shares of Company common stock and a contract option right held by Mr. Goto to purchase 3,000,000 shares of the common stock of the Company at a price of $1.00 per share.
After the foregoing transactions, Messrs. Watanabe, Ozawa, and Goto hold, in the aggregate, 7.3% of the capital stock of Neo Sports, and the unrelated third party cash investors hold 92.7% of Neo Sports.
All of the Company securities acquired by Neo Sports were immediately transferred to the Company in exchange for 100% of the capital stock of SPI, which was owned by the Company, and a receivable representing a sum owing to the Company by SPI in the amount of JPY 185,540,908. The SPI Transaction was closed on June 26, 2018.
As a result of the transaction Shuya Watanabe, Takashi Ozawa, and Kazuaki Goto ceased to be holders of any securities in the Company and ceased to be controlling stockholders of the Company. The beneficial ownership and voting power of these persons with respect to the Company’s common stock prior to the transaction was approximately 77% of the total voting power, and after the SPI Transaction was -0-.

LBC Transaction
ISD was formed by an unrelated third party for the purpose of acquiring LBC. On June 27, 2018, the Company sold 100% of the capital stock of LBC to ISD for $420,000 in cash, and sold to ISD of a receivable representing a sum owing to the Company by LBC in the amount of JPY 8,089,625 for $80,000 in cash.
Change in Management

Following his election as a director, he has been elected the Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, and Chief Financial Officer of the Company effective at 5:00 p.m., PDT on June 28, 2018, to replace Shuya Watanabe, the then serving Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, and Masashi Takegaki, the then serving Chief Financial Officer.

Steve Ketter, age 50, has been self-employed for the past five years as an advisor on business development, operations management, and strategic forecasting. Mr. Ketter has not been a party to any transactions with the Company or its officers or directors during the past year. No plan, contract, or arrangement has been formed for compensating Mr. Ketter for his services.
