This discussion summarizes the significant factors affecting the operating
results, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows of the Company for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2019. The discussion and analysis that follows
should be read together with the section entitled "Forward Looking Statements"
and our consolidated financial statements and the notes to the consolidated
financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report on Form 10-K.
Except for historical information, the matters discussed in this section are
forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties and are based
upon judgments concerning various factors that are beyond the Company's control.
Consequently, and because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to
risks and uncertainties, the actual results and outcomes may differ materially
from the results and outcomes discussed in the forward-looking statements. You
are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in
this report.
Company Overview
New Leap plans to match up potential investors from all over the world, except
for U.S. residents with private U.S. companies and companies which are publicly
traded in the U.S. (both U.S. and foreign incorporated). The goal is to use the
crowdfunding trend in order to make private investments in such companies more
accessible to non-U.S. investors on one hand and allow easier access to capital
for these companies on the other. We will not allow U.S. persons access to the
materials presented by the companies offering their securities on our website.
Anyone trying to gain access to the offering materials posted on our website
will first need to fill out a questionnaire which will include a question about
the country of residence. Anyone answering "U.S.A" or any of its states will be
prohibited from gaining access to the page showing the offering materials of the
presenting companies. We intend to start developing a website following
completion of this offering. For this purpose our intention is to use a third
party vendor which can provide both design and programming services.
All securities will bear a legend indicating that the securities are "restricted
securities" and may not be sold in the U.S. absent an effective registration
statement under the Securities Act covering the resale of such securities or an
available exemption from such registration requirement.
New Leap will keep a complete audit trail of investments in the companies
presenting on its website. Funds committed for an investment will be kept in an
escrow account until the company's funding goal is reached. Upon reaching such
goal, funds will be transferred from the escrow account to the company's bank
account while simultaneously stock certificates will be delivered to the
investors. Should the funding goal not be reached until the deadline of the
offering, funds would immediately be returned to the investors.

Investing Activities - -
Financing Activities $ 31,954 $ 19,547
Net Effect on Cash $ 13,053 $ (19,513 )
To date, most of our resources and work have been devoted to planning our
business, completing our registration statement and building our website.
Private capital, if sought, we believe will be sought from former business
associates of our president and chief executive officer or through private
investors referred to us by those same business associates.
If a market for our shares ever develops, of which there can be no assurances,
we may use restricted shares of our common stock to compensate
employees/consultants and independent contractors wherever possible. We cannot
predict the likelihood or source of raising capital or funds that may be needed
to complete the development of our business plan.
We are a public company and as such we have incurred and will continue to incur
significant expenses for legal, accounting and related services. As a public
entity, subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act of 1934, we
incur ongoing expenses associated with professional fees for accounting, legal
and a host of other expenses including annual reports and proxy statements, if
required. We estimate that these costs will range up to $50,000 per year over
the next few years and may be significantly higher if our business volume and
transactional activity increases but should be lower during our first year of
being public because our overall business volume (and financial transactions)
will be lower, and we will not yet be subject to the requirements of Section 404
of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 until we exceed $250 million in market
capitalization (if ever). These obligations will certainly reduce our ability
and resources to expand our business plan and activities. We hope to be able to
use our status as a public company to increase our ability to use noncash means
of settling outstanding obligations (i.e. issuance of restricted shares of our
common stock) and compensate independent contractors who provide professional
services to us, although there can be no assurances that we will be successful
in any of these efforts. We will also reduce compensation levels paid to
management (if we attract or retain outside personnel to perform this function)
if there is insufficient cash generated from operations to satisfy these costs.
We hope to be able to use our status as a public company to enable us to use
non-cash means of settling obligations and compensate persons and/or firms
providing services to us, although there can be no assurances that we will be
successful in any of those efforts. However, these actions, if successful, will
result in dilution of the ownership interests of existing shareholders, may
further dilute common stock book value, and that dilution may be material. Such
issuances may also serve to enhance existing management's ability to maintain
control of the Company because the shares may be issued to parties or entities
committed to supporting existing management. The Company may offer shares of its
common stock to settle a portion of the professional fees incurred in connection
with its registration statement. No negotiations have taken place with any
professional and no assurances can be made as to the likelihood that any
professional will accept shares in settlement of obligations due to them.
As of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2019 we owed $50,173 and $70,000,
respectively. In 2019 such liabilities were primarily in connection with payment
to service providers in relation to our status as a public company. There are no
other significant liabilities at December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2019.
As of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2019, the Company had one note payable
issued and outstanding to a related party with a total principle of $19,943 and
$39,490, respectively. The note is payable on demand and bears no interest. The
proceeds are being used for general working capital purposes.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Refer to the notes to the financial statements for a complete description of
recent accounting standards which we have not yet been required to implement and
may be applicable to our operation, as well as those significant accounting
standards that have been adopted during the current year.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP")
requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of
expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our
estimates which are based on historical experience and on various other
assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The
result of these evaluations forms the basis for making judgments about the
carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported amount of expenses
that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from
these estimates under different assumptions. The following accounting policies
require significant management judgments and estimates.
We base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions
that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which
form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and
liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. There can be no
assurance that actual results will not differ from these estimates.
